I feel really excited for a good time I can terastalize this Hydreigon I got into an electric-type.

Wolf Glick was talking about Poisonn Hydreigon in one of his stream too which I feel would be worse than Electric

Yeah, you'd still be weak to psychic-type moves.

I think somewhere in the west's area, there's a Naclstack that is a ghost-type

Only thing it's truly vulnerable to with that would be dark-type moves

Isn't most fish white when cooked?
mighty storm
now hunt a dondozo
bleak pine
Yeah, most are
The reason we're so fixated on this orange-pink color for stuff like salmon is cause we're under the assumption that anything that looks white or off-color is clearly rotten
bleak pine
The reason Salmon have a pink color in the wild is due to their diet. They don't get that in fish farms, in which they come out some white-ish color
golden lance
Salmon are pink?
bleak pine
So, they end up dyeing the fillets so they can sell it at market.
Yeah, or their flesh is.
bleak pine
Truth be told, a lot of fish would sound utterly revolting.
last musk
They get the coloring from the food they eat iirc
bleak pine
Stinkfish are not actually stinky, and are good to eat. Just, if you walk into a seafood restaurant and saw that on a menu, you aren't gonna get it
So they end up renaming the fish to something more appetizing.
And that, is your lesson for today!
golden lance
What do they rename it into? Never heard of stinkfish until today
bleak pine
Side note: really cute how Tatsugiri end up bending on land, and the way they are possitioned is based on their form
Curly ones have their tails up, while droopy ones just flop down.

Alright, so just learning this once I evolved a Kirlia: Evidently Gallade has a new ability.

correct
bleak pine
Nailing down whatever abilities that utilize cutting methods would be tough.
bleak pine
I know this of course applies to stuff like Slash, Psycho Cut and a few others, but there may be some obscure ones missing
Wait, Sacred Sword?
Oh, right, it's like
bleak pine
I keep forgetting it's a slashing attack
kind vortex
night slash
bleak pine
I thought it was a horn attack
Or at least it used to be until Honedge was a thing
Makes me wonder what moves are there in all that are cutting moves. I'd imagine a few like Behemoth Blade, Gullotine and the like are
But Behemoth Blade is exclusive to Zacian... and it's kinda pointless for Gullotine
Still, I do enjoy abilities that empower a subset of moves. Iron Fist was always pretty cool for me
spice rivet
Managed to catch a 6 IV Noivern and a 0 Speed Grimsnarl pog

Cool~
So, in all, I think this would power up:
Scratch, Fury Swipes, Cut, Slash, False Swipe, Crush Claw, Night Slash, Ceaseless Edge, Fury Cutter, X-Scissor, Air Cutter, Air Slash, Aerial Ace, Leaf Blade, Stone Axe, Aqua Cutter, Dragon Claw, Metal Claw, Sacred Sword, Secret Sword, Psycho Cut, Shadow Claw, and Behemoth Blade
Mostly all the moves I know are cutting moves in some way and would benefit from the ability

Auto save put me on the route decently before the city

It shouldn't happen period tho
I'm in offline mode, handheld, game saved to the switch
So there's none of the common excuses

Oh cool, Iono is the only gym leader whose Tera doesn't feel wasted

I do like how Katy and Brassius have some theming with the Pokémon that undergo Terastalization

...How exactly would you do such a challenge where no encounter is truly randomized?
It was still possible in Sword/Shield, but I'm unsure it can truly be done in Scarlet/Violet

You would just do 1 encounter per area
That’s how the guy that is known for nuzlockes dealt with the wild areas in sword and shield

So... Synchronize doesn't change wild encounter natures anymore
Why the fuck did they do that
Flame Body also doesn't count towards eggs
I'd assume all other abilities that have outside of battle effects no longer apply either
placid junco
Honestly mints are a nice QoL thing but I imagine game freak didn’t want to have abilities affecting the out of battle stuff within an open world
Given the release state of the games it’s probably for the unfortunate better
vagrant steppe
I guess, but it'd be helpful for scripted encounters and other stuff too
It just seems pointless to cut synchronize and flame body

Sword/Shield had the move relearner
bleak pine
I mean, it does?
You can reteach moves that only their pre-evolutions have
Which can lead to funny situations like your Nuzleaf having Explosion. At level 14

That’s move relearner, in Legend, the pokemon always remembers what it learned, you just need to select four of them
bleak pine
Yeah, it's nice how you don't need to stop what you are doing to let them remember.
pseudo goblet
Or heart scales…
bleak pine
Still, it means you might screw yourself out of some opportunities if you end up evolving things into evolutions that really don't learn anything, period.
vagrant steppe
Unfortunately it seems it doesn't always remember now
Since for some reason it resets when you evolve
pseudo goblet
Lv 70 Pokémon no longer remembers how to tackle
