The more I test Bundle, the more I feel like it can just do whatever
maiden flax
Bundle and moon are in smogon's watch list
vagrant steppe
Moon is only good because of Tera
bleak pine
It's pretty good for Girafarig too, since evolving it isn't very complicated, either
lusty tiger
Bundle and moon are in smogon's watch list
Before or after the fix to tera and Boost Energy
vagrant steppe
They'll probably ban Tera first, and then Moon drops to UU
last musk
How's ||chien pao||
vagrant steppe
Tera is the issue on Moon, not moon itself
tacit sphinx
Is Roaring Moon a codename like with the Donphan evo in the desert
golden lance
How's ||chien pao||
Better weavile, that's about it tho
lusty tiger
Tera Moon is also likely worse than Dnite
maiden flax
Before or after the fix to tera and Boost Energy
Before fix to booster, not sure after
Tera has nothing to do with it, they were on the watch list regardless of tera
lusty tiger
Is Roaring Moon a codename like with the Donphan evo in the desert
No
It is just called Roaring Moon
golden lance
Is Roaring Moon a codename like with the Donphan evo in the desert
||past salamence||

How's ||chien pao||
Oh right, forgot about||Pao|| Replace Moon with ||Pao||, yeah
golden lance
Pleassse remember spoiler tags!
Btw did you know
vagrant steppe
||Pao|| is the first mon to get nerfed in the game it came out in lmao
bleak pine
aaaaaaaa
lusty tiger
Oh this isn't the SV thread
bleak pine
AAAAAA
fading stratus
||Pao|| is the first mon to get nerfed in the game it came out in lmao
Oh it did?
tacit sphinx
The fuck is this
Why can I not go online
There is an ethernet cable in my switch
bleak pine
Oh dear
lusty tiger
Alright futher actual meta talk goes in the SV specific thread
maiden flax
The fuck is this
Why can I not go online
There is an ethernet cable in my switch
Is online mode turned on in the game?
vagrant steppe
But it's in competition with a lot of solid dark types rn
lusty tiger
I swear we were there
tacit sphinx
Explain to me why I have to turn flight mode off when there is literally an ethernet cable here
tacit sphinx
@bleak pine @maiden flax 2CUR9F
bleak pine
Got it! Will enter it
flat fractal
Also idk if it’s just recency bias but holy fuck@is this gen a mess of@balance
last musk
Mind if I crash the party to evolve it as well?
tacit sphinx
@last musk sure
tacit sphinx
But I don’t have you as a friend Jot
lusty tiger
Tera is not a competitive mechanic I think
flat fractal
I like@all the nerfs they did but goddamn some@of the stat spreads and new moves are just batshit insane
bleak pine
Hi, Gwen!
tacit sphinx
Is Tera really spoilers though
flat fractal
Last rites is lol, cyclizer is just wtf, then flutter mane is how the fuck did it make it into the game
tacit sphinx
Isn’t that just the basic mechanic of the game
lusty tiger
I mean for Pokemon and specifics
tacit sphinx
Oh yeah true
lusty tiger
Like Flutter Mane and such
bleak pine
Ooooh, hi Metrona
maiden flax
Hi
bleak pine
Alright, so the goal is just watch you fight stuff with your fish friend, yeah?
maiden flax
XD
bleak pine
uhh
tacit sphinx
@last musk is that you
bleak pine
Intruder alert?
maiden flax
I believe its jotlico
last musk
That'd be me
maiden flax
My finizen is evolving
bleak pine
So wait, where did Raz go?
tacit sphinx
@last musk where did you go
last musk
Looking for a dolphin
last musk
You don't actually gotta meet up, you just gotta level it anywhere
tacit sphinx
Oh
tacit sphinx
One sec
bleak pine
Alright, mine's evolved!
tacit sphinx
Then we will eat sandwich
maiden flax
But yeah level 38
bleak pine
Oh my goodness it looks... almost, exactly the same
But it's got a cyute heart
Oh sweet, Flip Turn
Been a hot minute since I seen this
Alright, anyone wanna try other stuff out?
tacit sphinx
Sandwich
tacit sphinx
As soon as i kill this fish
Legit though the Tatsugiri in the lake are so good
Level 45, kill themselves with Memento
golden lance
Btw
tacit sphinx
Yeah
bleak pine
They should go on for auction
tacit sphinx
Anyone know a good picnic spot
golden lance
Auction?
bleak pine
Yep
golden lance
Huh
tacit sphinx
Bruh @maiden flax your dude’s hammer makes it look like your miraidon has a hideous growth on its butt
bleak pine
The beaches of Porto Marinada sound good for a pic-i-nic!
golden lance
Should actually start playing the game, i didn't even knew there were auctions
tacit sphinx
Aw you moved
maiden flax
Oh woops XD
tacit sphinx
Okay meet in Porto Marinada
bleak pine
Might as well introduce you to friendo of mine
bleak pine
Alright, am here!
golden lance
Every model was t posing
Yep
placid junco
It gave me quite the chuckle
maiden flax
Going there
placid junco
Also pressing Y pauses my character despite not having koraidon
tacit sphinx

Starter checj
bleak pine
She's adorbs
Sure!
Lemme find him
I like to think this duck is like
Some kind of estranged member of Blaziken's family, and he always just feels awkward inviting him to dinner
Woops, had Pawmi out on accident
golden lance
Duck?
maiden flax
I named him eclair
golden lance
Ah
bleak pine
It's no Naturia Beast but it's acceptable
Eh, me either. At least, not all the time
I've been doing a lot of branching out and raising... most anything
maiden flax
Golm, Eclair, Edge, Dolan, Viola and Eter
bleak pine
I love this salt thing though
placid junco
God now I need to figure out my naming scheme
bleak pine
Last gen was coal, this time it's salt
maiden flax
Look at viola sleeping on her hammer
bleak pine
AAAA
last musk
I'm still leveling it 
bleak pine
THAT IS ADORABLE
tacit sphinx
Yeah this is Vincent the Garganacl and Frida the Meowscarada
golden lance
My current team draft is currently clodsire (my actual starter), ||bug/dark mon||, ceruledge, corviknight, rotom mow, and tatsugiri
maiden flax
Pawmot
tacit sphinx
Garganacl is Minecraft
bleak pine
Fitting
Seriously looks like a mob from the game
Eyyy, Pawnch and Minecraft playing ball
last musk
Nearly done
bleak pine
I still dunno what you need to do to have stuff in that basket
placid junco
Ripley the Fuecoco has joined the team
My naming scheme this game is: Horror movie final girls
bleak pine
Assuming a few moments spent will fill it up with an egg, but I got no idea what the criteria is
maiden flax
I still dunno what you need to do to have stuff in that basket
Only have 2 mons in your party
bleak pine
Yeaaa Ripley
maiden flax
And then wait
golden lance
Yep
last musk
Got it
golden lance
In front of everyone, including you, but yes
bleak pine
Would be silly having to explain to Raz' kitty why I have his child
tacit sphinx
do not steal her child
last musk
Where are yall?
tacit sphinx
The hammer Pokemon is just a Kirby enemy
maiden flax
I love tinkaton
tacit sphinx
Sandwich
placid junco
I do at least like the framing of Nemona choosing the starter weak to yours as a handicap
bleak pine
Yeah, it's cool how its handled
last musk
How do I throw out my mons?
bleak pine
Anyways, ready to Subway when you are!
maiden flax
Im waiting at the table
tacit sphinx
How do I throw out my mons?
You did already
bleak pine
You let the first of your party out automatically when joining a pic-i-nic
maiden flax
How do I throw out my mons?
You can throw out one with zr
bleak pine
Otherwise, yeah, ZR
tacit sphinx
That’s why there’s two Meowscarada
last musk
Ah
tacit sphinx
What abomination sandwich y’all wanna make
bleak pine
Whatever ingridients you wish!
last musk
I legit only have ham rn lmao
bleak pine
Unleashe your crime against the cullinary world!
I got most ingridients
So I'm good throwing in whatever
tacit sphinx
You just come to the table and click on it to make a sandwich
maiden flax
2 more who hasnt joined the sandwich making?
bleak pine
Got it!
harsh path
Symph trying to create Mystery Sandwich X
bleak pine
I'm joining!
maiden flax
Do you guys get a choice in ingredients or is it just me?
tacit sphinx
We all do oh god
golden lance
Post the sandwich here btw
tacit sphinx
I brought peanut butter and mayonnaise
golden lance
bleak pine
Alright, chose mine
tacit sphinx
Also kiwifruit
bleak pine
I didn't pick too much, lest I make it unable to actually stack this sandwich
If I could do it flawlessly I'd make a sandwich that'd make Shag and Scoob blush
tacit sphinx
LONG SANDWICH
bleak pine
holy shit that bread
golden lance
Oh dear
tacit sphinx
On god cancer sandwich
maiden flax
Lmao
golden lance
bleak pine
chef's kiss
last musk
Wow
golden lance
What have y'all done?
maiden flax
The top didnt even get put properly
last musk
Beautiful
bleak pine
We should make an agreement between the four of us
tacit sphinx
last musk
Stunning sandwich
bleak pine
To never work at a Subway
Also can we pin this
please
We need this constant reminder at our crimes to sandwiches
maiden flax
3 stars!
last musk
TF DO YOU MEAN 3 STARS
tacit sphinx
last musk
Fuck I got dq'd
bleak pine
Aw
bleak pine
You can probably rejoin with the code
But yeah, I'm cool calling it til next we meed!
golden lance
What the fuck
maiden flax
Sure
last musk
Thanks for that y'all
bleak pine
Just letting everyone else know! Be sure to call me up if you wanna start an adventure together again!
It was fun Raz!
tacit sphinx
What the fuck
what’s the problem
bleak pine
❤️
tacit sphinx
it’s a 3 star sandwich
bleak pine
It obviously tastes good, what are you on
But yeah
Pact that we should never go working for a Jimmy Jon's, Subway, or Jersey Mike's
Alright, back to hitting up link trade rooms for that Bagon
maiden flax
Btw you can continue the story in multiplayer
golden lance
Kinda
bleak pine
Tinkaton would totally be the Hammer enemy, if Bonkers wasn't a thing in Kirby
golden lance
You can but no one else can join in irrc
bleak pine
Aw
Would totally love to do a Monster Hunter-esque adventure on the whole Herba Mystica quest
||Just hear the Deviant theme from GenU playing while chasing down Big Tusk||
||It practically is just Deviant Donphan||
Woo, got a Bagon from trading
He friendo
golden lance
Nice
last musk
I was really worried about how the picnic in multiplayer would work so I boxed all my spoiler Mons lmao
bleak pine
Eh, same. I was gonna bring my Ursaring instead, but I decided on my Pawmot, Pawnch instead. Not like it'd be a big surprise, since it's just Pawmi, but bigger
Here's to hoping I can find myself that coveted Peat Block somewhere. Not likely, but I can still work with Evolite
last musk
Here's to hoping I can find myself that coveted Peat Block somewhere. Not likely...
You want me to tell you if it's in the game and where it could be if it is?
bleak pine
Nah. Let's keep it a surprise.
last musk
You got it
bleak pine
I'm pretty sure I need to use HOME anyways if not, so no big harm
golden lance
Man
bleak pine
...Also just realized my membership on HOME expired, DAMMIT
golden lance
Still trying to wrap around my hard that they just ||casually erased arguably the most popular mon of all time||
||and not just by not putting it in the dex, actuallu retconning it out of existance||
last musk
They did it cause it made no real sense to begin with and was just there to be cool
bleak pine
Actually curious Raz: How do you feel about Farigiraf?
I know Girafarig is your favorite, so this might be a pretty big thing for you
placid junco
The team rn is Ripley the Fuecoco and Shelob the Tarountula
maiden flax
Actually
How many of your pokemon have titles?
pseudo goblet
Question, how early can we get Nymble and Wooper? Route 1 or 3 perhaps?
tacit sphinx
Actually curious Raz: How do you feel about Farigiraf?
it is literally why i bought the game
Also, just beat the Normal Gym Leader, Larry
He is
something
maiden flax
Larry is the best
maiden flax
Question, how early can we get Nymble and Wooper? Route 1 or 3 perhaps?
Wooper is literally tutorial area, nymble is quite early if you go left
pseudo goblet
Wait do they forces you to pick route or can I go right after?
tacit sphinx
Larry is just everyone who plays Pokemon as an adult lmao
maiden flax
Wait do they forces you to pick route or can I go right after?
You can go anywhere
pseudo goblet
Oh thank Arceus

goldfish pokemon?
The sushi goldfish
bleak pine
Oh yeah
tacit sphinx
They know Nasty Plot, Muddy Water, Taunt, and Memento
All you have to do is wait for RNG and get free levels
Tatsuyaki I think?
bleak pine
Tatsugiri!
tacit sphinx
Oh like nigiri and a dragon
tacit sphinx
That makes sense, I think they’re Water/Dragon
bleak pine
There’s a big ol catfish nearby that takes care of them too
pseudo goblet
Tatsuyaki I think?
Sounds delicious actually lmao
mighty storm
dondozi or whatever
bleak pine
Y’know it’s weird how there’s sushi-looking fish in a setting based around Spain/Portugual, but isn’t tempura a Portuguese invention?
golden lance
Ngl kinda funny how every single water ground mon is in the game except swampert
mighty storm
who has an interesting gimmick with tatsugiri
golden lance
dondozi or whatever
Dondozo
golden lance
"In the 16th century Muromachi period, Portuguese Catholic missionaries to Japan brought with them the Western-style cooking method of coating foods with flour and then frying them. Thus began the history of tempura in Japan."
bleak pine
Ah, that’s cool
Yeah, Portugual was very influential to Japan
Gave them tempura and of course, matchlock guns
golden lance
Wait
bleak pine
Just yeets a fish
golden lance
Can you skill swap commander?
mighty storm
it protects the tatsugiri it ate, and this uses the form to decide what stat it's signature move boosts
golden lance
Shout outs to the water mon having a dragon move as its signature move
maiden flax
What titles do your pokemons have?
My tinkaton has "the apathetic"
Making her "Viola the Apathetic"

outer eagle
object permanence missing indeed
crimson moat
So FYI, and I really hope this isn't how it is supposed to work, Commander kinda borked on showdown rn still
If Tatsugiri is afflicted with a status condition, it still gets hurt by the status. If it is then knocked out, Dondozo keeps his doubles buff and the opponent can send in antoher poke
crimson moat
If Tatsugiri is afflicted with a status condition, it still gets hurt by the sta...
So a common team people will go for is an explosion lead + min defense Tatsugiri with endure. Sandstorm kills this strategy instantly
Some will go for max defense tatsugiri as well and just blow up
maiden flax

Works like this in game too doesnt it?
Pretty sure thats how it works in game yeah

Awooga
pseudo goblet
crimson moat
Works like this in game too doesnt it?
That’s… pretty lame
That honestly feels like a technical oversight to how it would work as a miniboss
But it makes it a more viable tactic I guess
I wouldn’t go explosion lead tho, think I would rather have a viable Pokémon just play out until tatsugiri is ready.
Regularly just getting only the dondozo up without using this quirk feels way too abusable to be worth it

Hi hello everyone
I'm getting a lot of these coins from Gimmighoul
I assume much like the thing they did to promote it, I need 999 of these things for something to happen, but I'm unsure what
kind vortex
do you want to know?
bleak pine
Naaah.
||I already got some notes next to it's entry that just kinda spoiled that it evolves, so I'm already aware||
Oh yeah, did you see that travesty of a sandwich me, Raz and a few others made?
kind vortex
nope
bleak pine
kind vortex
well as long as it gave you a bunch of effects
bleak pine
Maybe it was the sweet sword pick that made it all worthwhile
kind vortex
anyway, do you or anyone else know if the gimmighoul chests respawn?
bleak pine
Not to my knowledge, no.
bleak pine
Xenoblade Moment
kind vortex
i have all 8 badges so it'll at least obey me
caught a level 75 lucario last night lol
bleak pine
Nice~
kind vortex
oh hey lucario outspeeds it
bleak pine
Oh yeah, Jotico told me that there's a few established link trade hotlines, much like what a few people did with Sword/Shield
So I guess if you got version exclusives, you can trade em for others
kind vortex
that sounds about right
bleak pine
Got myself my Bagon this way, I did!

met what the fuck
bleak pine
I mean, it apparently tasted good
kind vortex
good lord the west's wild battle theme is great
bleak pine
Yeah, it just slaps
kind vortex
aight, that's garchomp caught
bleak pine
Wooh
kind vortex
so i have a 75 lucario and a 65 chomp
bleak pine
I did throw down with that same one, but I just didn't want to go through that effort of trying to catch it with only 5 gym badges, so I just KO'd it
kind vortex
my advice would have been to save it for later
kind vortex
tera water is great on garchomp
bleak pine
I'm not too fond of Garchomp anyways
kind vortex
fair enough
bleak pine
I did end up capturing a Dragonair with the Electric Tera Type somewhere though, so I suppose I'm good on that front
Might be sick for some weather shenanigans. Thunder and Hurricane will wreck house.
Alright, I caught a bunch of nooblets. Time to grind
kind vortex
time to catch a snow leopard
............
it went in the first ball i threw
capture rate: 6
sharp kernel
Lmao
kind vortex
welp i guess that's all my luck used up for this month
sharp kernel
It pays to be lucky
kind vortex
it made up for the good capture luck by being quiet nature
so i'll have to mint it later
kind vortex
i would have assumed so, but serebii is saying 6
looks like it has max hp, atk, and sp atk, so i'll need to use 3 caps later
speaking of which, where is the bottle cap npc in this game?
don't remember running into them yet
oh nvm i think i figured it out
yeah i found them
bleak pine
I might end up seeing if I can get a pin set up with friend codes
Just in case any of us want to meet up for trades/raid battles/pic-i-nics/shoving candy down a fish's throat
kind vortex
the fuck's a great tusk doing out here when i haven't started postgame yet
let's see how many balls this tkaes
again, only 1
looks like the one i caught has 5 perfect ivs, based on rough calc
don't have judge feature yet
nevermind, it has 0 perfects
they're all 30 lmao

Apparently defeating Delibird gives you Delibird Parcels

Quick question: Does Chansey still need breeding done in order to learn Seismic Toss?
Not too sure it can learn Night Shade, so I'm just making sure.
sharp kernel
according to bulbapedia yes
bleak pine
Speaking of, I'm still unsure which move is statistically better.
Ah, gotcha
Like, Night Shade doesn't work against normal-types, but seismic toss can't work on ghost types.
...And I feel like Seismic toss is one move that gets shut down by Gravity
Alright, so I guess I gotta find something in the Fairy Egg group that can learn Seismic Toss.
kind vortex
only if you actually want to breed a happiny
bleak pine
Eh, I like Chansey enough to go for it.
kind vortex
no i mean you don't need to worry about egg groups for passing anymore unless you actually want to breed a new mon
bleak pine
...Oh! Really? Huh.
kind vortex
they brought passing back but better, doesn't care about same species or even egg group
bleak pine
So, all I need is something to just know Seismic Toss and have them spend time with Chansey?
kind vortex
this makes certain new move chains possible now as well
picnics, but ye
should do the trick
bleak pine
That's pretty cool! Thanks for the tip.
This'll make stuff like Fake-Out, Seismic Toss and some other egg moves less of a pain to learn!
Ah cool, found a raid den with an electric-type Deino
kind vortex
idk if red item spawns are from a pool, guaranteed, random, or what, but i just got a life orb drop in the middle of some random island on casseroya lake
bleak pine
Same here. I guess it might be one-time only, considering how unique the thing usually is.
...Oh that's super sick, finding an electric Deino
Hydreigon has Levitate, so being an Electric type nullifies any weakness it has.
Only problem is I don't think it learns that much Electric-type moves, but I guess Tera Blast will work just fine
I just, really, really wish it didn't take so much levels to actually evolve
spice rivet
God that was my first gym at equal levels and it was not fun. Purifying Salt came in clutch
Anyone know if Volcarona is available anywhere in the wild as a static encounter or am I saying bye bye to a ton of EXP candy lmao

volcarona seems to be area zero or high level raids only
otherwise you're stuck catching a larvesta

Alright, gonna take on Montenevera Gym

bleak pine
I love Tinkaton
And yeah, Corviknight can't serve as taxi, all cause this pink thing just loves batting rocks at them. It's funny
Especially since when I got them, they both evolved at the same time
Also, super cool touch on Corviknight; it's armor plating and softer feathers have different textures.

It’s violent crimes shall never be stopped
bleak pine
All it wants to do
Is smash

Even before that, it makes that hammer it has by fighting Pawinard and Bisharp, all so it can knock chunks of metal off of them to make and improve its hammer
And Bisharp is really one kind of mon you just don't want to pick a fight with

I might be in trouble.
I'm not, but this was scary looking, just going back and there's a gang of Sableye in your way

Alright, I ended up climbing to the top of the mountain
...And there's a whole lot of nothing up here
Well, a mint, yeah, but not much up here but a sign that lets you know this is one of Paldea's sights
kind vortex
did another team star fight
while i didn't use cyclizar to test rapid spin again, end of turn effects weren't happening
including taking poison damage
bleak pine
...Aw, dammit, this dumb ice thing froze my Bisharp.
Freeze is just the absolute worst if it ends up happening
kind vortex
That's pretty cool! Thanks for the tip.
apparently i neglected to mention this, but note that the mon that you want to pass to needs to be holding a mirror herb
bleak pine
...Oh, shoot, thanks. I was about to do it just now
With my Angy boi and Pink puff
Alright, so I just wait a bit and it happens?
I'll probs make a sandwich while it happens
Huh, weird. Chansey didn't learn Seismic Toss
Had the passee hold the herb too
...Oh, you meant the mon to pass to
Ok, NOW it worked.
I can think of so much stuff I can do with a Chansey that slam-jams stuff
I might see if I can make a trade for Ceruledge ||Or rather, the item that is needed to evolve a Charcadet to Ceruledge||
bleak pine
Actually, anyone alright with trade help stuff?
Wanted to see if I can knock out a few trade evolutions
bleak pine
Jeezy Creezy, I'm relearning just how unbreakable Corviknight is.

I've got $20 eshop credit. I gotta decide if I think $40 is a fair price for SV or not (still leaning no)
bleak pine
Oh hey, apparently filling out the 'dex can reward you with some special balls
I got a fast ball recently!
...Of course, I'm not in any mood to try catching things in these, since they seem very rare, but it's a nice reward.
mighty storm
yup
vagrant steppe
eShop credit doesn't expire, yeah?
bleak pine
Not to my knowledge, no
vagrant steppe
So I don't have to decide right away then. I wish we had confirmation of a patch or something

I very nearly wiped to arven but through a lot of items i managed to get through him lol
placid junco
I’m gonna do some more catching
latent sleet
my current team is quaxly final evo ||(quaquaval)||, luxray, gardevoir with fire tera type, pupitar, Talonflame and tsareena
placid junco
But might go after Nemona’s first objective instead of arven’s
latent sleet
i got to big crab first
sharp kernel
I’ve admittedly not fought a lot of the random trainers
Imo that’s the most boring thing to do in the game
latent sleet
since trainer battles are optional it doesn’t feel so good now
sharp kernel
Them making the random trainers not mandatory is probably the best thing they’ve ever done for the difficulty
latent sleet
i beat some every now and them to get some rewards and stuff
but i tend to focus more on exploration
sharp kernel
Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing
latent sleet
and going through each and every nook and cranny
sharp kernel
Going through a cave and ending up somewhere where Pokémon at level 50+ has been an experience I’ve been enjoying
placid junco
I’m definitely gonna be shifting around my team as I go
latent sleet
i did that too
placid junco
3 Pokémon weak to water won’t fly forever lol
sharp kernel
The boxes being accessible from anywhere is so good for that
latent sleet
yep good thing they brought it from shsw
very useful 
i kinda miss seeing pcs in every poke center but its a small price to pay

It's kinda like that

Money grinding in this game hurts

Yeah, it hurts sometimes cause the smaller ones are so hard to see

Most early Pokémon are microscopic which is funny

Wasn’t there a dolphin mon that also becomes a hero-ish humanoid like Lokix, how good is it
Haven’t thought much for alternative water types if I didn’t pick Quaxly
sharp kernel
He’s good. Imo it’s very gimmicky, but in singles he will probably shine
In doubles, it’s too predictable of a mon to have on your team
vagrant steppe
In singles he's probably getting his ass banned
sharp kernel
People need to catch on to the fact that Bellibolt is a terror
vagrant steppe
I dunno. At least in singles, he's too gimmicky
You just one-shot him before it matters
sharp kernel
In singles you’re overkilling more than in doubles so you just tera water
They knew what they were doing with Bellibolt, that’s why his coverage is only electric/water/normal
vagrant steppe
Bellibolt gets one-tapped even if you terra water
And defensive tera is just a bad idea
placid junco
Found a charcadet
sharp kernel
What’s one tapping it? It has above average bulk
vagrant steppe
Extreme Speed
You gave them time to setup
There's other options too. If they tera water, freeze dry
sharp kernel
You’re not living a charged discharge from Bellibolt as an offensive pokemon
vagrant steppe
Earthquake and Headlong Rush are on most mons
You don't need to live it, you just outspeed
vagrant steppe
Hey on the bright side he's the first 8 legged spider
placid junco
True lmao
He is also currently my only answer to water types with that I formerly thought was STAB bullet seed
Maybe I’ll give nymbal a try once I have a proper answer to water
Wow
This is the first time since route 5 in XY you can catch a skiddo
vagrant steppe
Decided fuck it, I'll pick up Scarlet and return it if it's terrible. $20 off made it an easier call
placid junco
God Spidops has such slow leveling
bleak pine
I'm having a blast, bugs be damned
Yeah, I'm excited that Skiddo is very much present

Probably gonna go straight to the other “first” gym after brassias so I’m not too over leveled

A shame because he looks worse

Since to me, aside from the bike wheels (and maybe the wings), Koraidon looks better
foggy oxide
Miraidon is the better looking imo

Much like what some people did in Sword/Shield, there's link trade hotlines you can join in for exclusives

Jalapenia (My Fuecoco) clutched it

Yeaaaa

Def agree

I really wanna trade off a Drifloon for a Misdreavus. I do like the screaming ghost
Though, pretty odd that Driffloon's the opposite and not Murkrow

Also there are 3 in game Trades:
P Wooper for Original Wooper
Pinchirin for Haunter/Gengar (No Everstone pog)
And 1 more, something for a Snom

Good question actually
Considering that ||ursaluna is in the game's files, but you can't evolve ursaring in s&v||
