suicune, entei, and raikou didnt exist when it was written
Some of my friends are suggesting only the paradox legendaries might be imaginary
But even that feels non commital lmao
Also I wonder, both the dlc paradoxes are members of quartets 
Nah the beast is just a trio
Yeah but I wouldn’t consider it a part of them
Rather ruling over them
Ho oh are their kinda-mother
it's about 80% chaff to 20% good design imo
Disagree on the ratios but I agree some are not great
Then there is Keldeo, to the other musketeers who was added later in an event.
Enamorus
cuz the future ones succs. i want real future mons that are not just lazy machines.
so i just hope those are fake.
ok, I also disagree on the ratios
Future Froms have so much potential yet GF was like (everything is a robo) that' not even have evo works...
The bad past designs are Shocks and Bonnet
Do you guys have your own ideas of F paradox pokemon, that’s not robot 
Koraidon is a little too silly for my taste, but it's a solid design
yes so many
Flutter & Scream are meh
I wanna hear em 
Roaring, Great Tusk, and Slither Wing are all good designs
Psychic Octillery
Just a big 1950s style brain
you’ve just reignited my hopes for a Dumbo octopus pokemon 
Look at it 
we got peak past paradox form already
Iron Bundle is the best past form
I think you just made a boo boo there lol
Iron bundle is peak future form design yeah
no, he's from the past
I like Iron bundle+valiant+Hands design wise
Maybe I watched too many Tokusatsu, Iron Thorns hasn’t really spark in me yet
A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.
Future Volcarona (that is not a robo) should be called Smoking Swarm. due to the lack of enough oxygen, they can't grow in size or burn much, so they just swarm together and producing alot of smoke.
This, THIS ^
I like this 
could give em an ability that makes fire moves deal 80% less damage or something.
Bug/Poison maybe ?
Okay that’s actually better than the fire flying I was thinking, maybe they re just flies that produce smokes, not a good idea I think
ngl I really like how the past/future pokemon have more vague names like "Roaring Moon" or "Iron Hands"
Enemy of Cetitan maybe
god I remember the final boss fight was rough cause of Roaring Moon
I had to spam potions but Mudsdale came in clutch
nah it would have to live in water to support its size.
Roaring moon is beautiful tho
Roaring moon was a menace in that final fight
(since it didn't have any special moves just physical)
I only won because of shift gear -> gunk shot
What about HUNTING Cetitan from underwater lol
I only won cause I got lucky
night slash otk'd my Mudsdale once or twice because of a crit
I only won becaude gunk shot didn’t miss
it still Snorlax, it would be some kinda filter feeder, so it does not have to move ever.
It has retractable roots
or Iron Moth or Iron Bundle or Iron Valiant or Iron Treads or Iron Jugulis
fuck the future ones.
I wonder what type the third legendary is
fucking iron everything. next thing you know, its Iron Ass
Grass/fairy
Future Cherubi... its just the shriveled one. that's all that can gow.
In the future, everything is chrome
bad meme.
Just to shock everybody, the stores I’ve visit while buying Scarlet had their Violet sold out faster than Scarlet, I know we can get the other version paradoxes easily
But the message of people here like future ones more than the past ones, scares me 
I’ve already been told I have bad opinions regarding Pokémon today by my friends lmao
I am fine with making bad jokes
Violet stuff was more expensive too, BTW 
They re the same games, i don’t see the reason why they had to made it 20 rm more expensive than Scarlet 
Third legendary will reside in the Kalodea ruins, a gateway between the kalos and Paldea regions
Btw, I haven’t heard anyone saying if Iron hydreigon and iron Thorns are good or not, how strong are they?
Jugulis has to compete with mandibuzz in nat dex format
unfezant
Future Paradox could've given us something like Acid Rain
Reduce the defense of all Pokemon on the field except Poison types
That would be kinda sick
But at the same time, this is kinda abusable by anything, no?
Set acid rain, get out a fast, hard hitting mon, bonk them all to death
...
I just described rain and setup sweepers
And a bunch of other strategies already in the game
Nvm ignore me chat
I really hope they will someday release a regional form Water Rock type Psyduck or Golduck, since we now have THREE blue duck Pokémon, Ducklett and now Quaxly final evo
Ducklett Flying > Quaquaval Fighting
Quaquaval Fighting > Rock
Rock > Ducklett Flying
Sorry I was busy typing 😂
I admit I didn't fully flesh out the idea
Shouldn’t Golduck be Water/Psychic?
I will never not use bite on a psyduck and be surprised when it isn't super effective
I do love how the Earl of Sandwich is now explicitly canon to Pokémon
Not only that, but Gastly eats Indian Elephants
India was not colonized by the British in this world
Because Galar
They are not British, they are Galarian
Was the Galarian Empire a thing?
I mean most of this is from early lore tbf, when the idea of a “world of Pokémon” wasn’t really set in stone yet
Australia needs to have at least 10 spider Pokémon
And at least 2 spider legendaries
@bleak pine @vocal torrent @sharp vale @warm sky
Hell yeah
Arachna Region
The mascot legendaries are two giant spiders, one venomous, and the other also venomous but with different colors
And the great climax is that they use their signature move which is just fucking biting someone
which ones are we
Woop!
One venomous and uses webs, the other uses a trapdoor
?
Maybe the trapdoor one will have some tricks up its sleeve
(this region introduced pokemon with two identical types)
(but only for poison types)
double stab for poison/poison types
Yes
but 4x weak to psychic 
Is being a legendary not important anymore besides competitive?
Breeding and shiny hunting
Story
I don't understand your take. What has changed with legendary pokemon?
isn't focusing on legendaries the biggest noob mistake in comp
Yup
It's just idk
Being legendary hasn't meant much in a while
It's just a way to say "hey check this guy out he is more important"
If you are playing comp, legendary status is irrelevant for the most part. Otherwise, they get cool story and such.
When has it been different
Hell, the gen 9 box legendaries are MORE than that
You get to ride them, and they are actual characters in the game
honestly Scarlet/Violets character writing is so much better across the board
I really liked how Team Star was presented and handled
I remember Arven also gave off "oh no he's actually evil vibes" because of the way they faded to black when he brought out Mastroiff and you learn pretty quickly he's actually a good person with family issues
We've had Legendaries that can breed, Legendaries that can evolve
My point is, legendaries are no different than they were before.
True
Needing to learn braile to get the damn regis
Or at least decode it manually
But that's because of no answers on the internet
No one believed me when I said "SV will be way better than SwSh because SwSh did good stuff"
Not because the regis were special
The whole "Braile puzzle hard" point of view should be "they really wanted to sell manuals"
The regis sucked, I just didn't know because I had no-one to ask
At the same time they blew their load on gen 4
And because I was too young to reason legendary =\ useful
"WE'RE GONNA MAKE GOD AND THE TIEM AND SPACE GODS AND THE GODS OF FEELINGS AND THE GODS OF SLEEP AND THE GODS OF"
At least the manuals came with a braile translator
Who is the god of feelings
P sure I discarded mine
Azelf Uxie Mesprit
Cresellia?
Ok and gen 3 had the creators of land and sea
Yeah they were already hyping it up
Not the creator of air though
What is your point
Where the cover legends were weaker sauce than Gen 5's in terms of stuff they do
Dogs with swords
In the same position as
Oh you mean story-wise
Story wise
The god of fucking Death
Because gameplay wise sword dog is one of, if not THE strongest mons
The worst gen 8 legendaries are honestly the Galarian Moltres/Articuno/Zapdos
Literally the gen 7 plotpoint
Eternatus... the world ender?
Eternatus the excuse to justify the mechanic
Original concept
Didn't do this with Necrozma before totally
The whole "Lugia rules over the birbs" plotline has died down so much my god
So your complaint is that the legendaries are not gods
Were the legendaries of gen 5 gods?
Nope but that gets a pass considering what gen 4 had
The non-box legendaries of Gen V kinda stinky tbh
We did need a small break by gen 6
Gen 6 legendaries stinky
Like what
Koraidon's bikeness is the worst part of its design tbh
It is cute
It's a cool and cute lizard dragon
Agreed
The wheels are comical
Miraidon pulls off bike because robot transformer dragon
But why not just ride a giant lizard?
I am not a furry
Then ride a robot
If riding isn't your thing, vehicles and walking are options
Hell, every time you use surf, you ride a pokemon's back
Gen 6 and 7 make you ride rental mons
But bycicle lizard is too much for you because... furry?
yeah tbh
it makes sense given what it actually is but its still dumb
design would be 100x better without the wheel in the chest
Hell yeah
Just have Koraidon be its "Wild & primal" form
Majestic komodo dragon shaped like a friend
And have Cyclizar be the dumb bike lizard
ngl I kinda just assumed it was a legendary pokemon
And then Miraidon is it post-becoming a bike
it genuinly shocked me when the professor told me it was a past version of Cyclizar
The Paradoxes may as well be Legendary tbh
(birb brain moment ofc)

Did you know

Lots of fuck

all those top 8 teams seem pretty cool
jugulus/bundle/blaze-tauros/sandy shocks/bax looks fun
Fire tauros is really nuts into paradox pokemon as they stated
I see a scizor
thats my pick for a sleeper great mon this format
You come in, you intimidate physical attackers, you resist iron bundle, you take neutral from flutter mane
well, half of iron bundle
paradox mon being intimidate-able and (likely) popular is good for the tauros' for sure

Okay I’m still at like, first 30 min into my game and I already love this 😂
ngl my biggest issue with the game is the pacing
like, the mandatory tutorial stuff takes like 30 mins, you get to the school and do all that stuff, and then you are only there for like 5 mins
and then you have almost no reason to return to the school(even if the game I think expects you too?)
Lugh from Go Rush be like

Are there any Poison-type Sap Sipper mons?
Totally not hiding any ‘stun spore’ nope 
Yeah I saw this and holy shit
That Venusaur looks like it’s about to pull me over and sell me some crack
Ryuji ^ 
How am I gonna convince someone that Mabostiff is a good boyo if that’s someone’s first look?
Well, unless there will be some kind of promo card, but…
Tell em it’s a sheep in wolf skin I guess
Righto
That being said, this is how you establish that some mons are just not to be messed with
You can’t get the same kind of feel for other mons that are frightening, like Mightyena or Houndoom
…Meanwhile, Staravia exists and still has Intimidate
What
Pretty sure it’s as big as our hawks, now Shinx with Intimidate tho 
Staravia is about as big as say, Tranquill or Pidgeotto. Staraptor is pretty imposing though
Growlithe is one fella too, but if it’s barking is loud and angry enough
Though, Hitmontop is up there with Staravia.
Maybe it just spins super fast and shows off to look scary?

Oh hey! Garchomp in S rank! HOW UNEXPECTED.
,,,Super funny how Murkrow ended up taking it for him though, as is Meowscarada
If it makes you feel better
It's really more the mon is overrated for me, personally.
Meh, not really. It's just from what I seen it just works very well in VGC due to it's utility moves and ability
Wel it the first tournament of series 2 is anything to go by, dozo Tatsugiri is basically obsolete, so part of what made murkrow solid is gone
Chomp in singles has basically become a suicide hazards lead which is hilarious to me
gang signs moment
its not just a suicide hazards lead
it can run a suicide hazards lead set bc it threatens out every other suicide hazards setter
chomp outspeeds them too
and can be built to be a bulky disruptive pivot for physical attackers
a mixed sweeper
or an sd sweeper
chomp can also run band or scarf well
this is why it is good still and hasnt really fallen off since reintroduced into ou
are there better mons? yea
but chomp is a very versatile mon and can do multiple roles per team well
of current ou i like 2 sets
bulky lead with eq + d tail + rocks + spikes 252 hp 176 def 80 spe impish
speed is adjustable and can run a timid nature as well to truly speed up
but this set can take on and beat a lot of physical set up sweepers in the tier
as well as leading the team with hazards
i like it if my team can do wish passing
my other set is eq + spikes + sd + tera blast tera ghost 252 atk 252 spe 4 spdef jolly chomp with scarf or life orb
hazard setter + late-game sweeper
if scarf i will do crunch/iron head/draco meteor over sd
tera ghost makes chomp semi-budget Dragapult but chomp has a real attack stat without a dd or a cb and a wider pool of physical moves like eq stone edge and such
I believe in Garchomp supremacy
...Be like Goomy?
Moth man
where other moth friends?
They’re too low tiered to be part of the club 
Golisopod with more edge owo

@random stream
heh
I’m either gonna do one for my next sun playthrough or a type locked challenge
my bf tried to do a scarlet/violet nuzlocke with slightly modified rules to account for the differences in catching/encountering pokemon(tldr catch first 5 you see, pick 1 at random to keep)
Nuzlockes can be pretty fun during the moments when things are happening
I advise you to play on an emulator tho
I play on cartridge and the points where I have to grind are hellish
Wandered far from where I was suppose to be, and I found friend named Flamigo
My chien pao has no weaknesses (I do not have Nintendo online)
Wtf??? Whose home is this?? The snail I’m guessing??
The game just ‘introduce’ pokecenter to me, and I just suddenly found a legendary’s house 😂
House is probably a nicer term than what it deserves
Disturb not the ancient tablets
And yeah, Home is a very, very nicer term than what is going on
Is it a seal?
Iirc it's just collapsed rubble in there right?
||There’s barely any friggin room in there for the captive for one||
It’s a prison yeah
Ah
It’s probably sealed in its tablet form inside
Ooh protect tm, fantastic
Finding that thing while doing some exploring before signing on at Naranja Academy was wild
It really set the mood to keep exploring, not just for new friends to catch but also for any other secrets
Actually would make sense if they reverted to those objects when inert
I dunno if they actually do it or not. Guessing we’ll need to wait and see
Oh and I found a wild Great Wild before school, and pointing it out in case if it’s impressive
I will now once again ask for romhack recommendations
I don’t play much romhacks, so I can’t exactly make a good recommendation
…I mean, Radical Red notwithstanding, but I think you already tried that
Wait we can buy ice cream now??
Yep
Buying food for yourself can give small bonuses when you’re out and about
Like, finding certain mons, getting bonuses in raid battles and a few others
Mmm… milk base ice cream… makes me wanna drink water later… which totally negate the purpose of ice cream…
I mean, that is what Ice cream is
I usually pick popsicle lol
Ahh
There’s a few other stuff you can nab for a meal, such as some pretzels, churros, and a few restaurants with a few stuff to pick from
And of course, sandwiches
Ralts baby
Woo
Dang, thought I found some wild surskit I can catch, turns out they re just decoratives
Yeah, mons in towns can’t be battled
Eclair got to swim a bit tho
Not to worry since Surskit are pretty common in ponds in a few places
Sunkern?? Sure I guess
I assume this game still have shiny charm and require full dex, worth the waste of a pokeball
Always a good idea in any game to make a capture when you meet for the first time!
Never know when you want to make a new friend join up on a team for awhile
Found Bonsly and I think Grafaiai prevo
Nemona Tera her Pawmi for nothing, Eclair wins 
... did you also name your wooper eclair?
Doesn’t everyone? lol
It’s either eclair or shit stain, no in between
some named it pooper
cute

you're telling me a chicken fried this rice?
A chicken that can fry itself, yes 
Funny thing is that Shiny Torchic colors fits into that art even better too lol
Well, there's your answer to Azumarill.
Seems like the poison type would very much cover up most kinds of vulnerabilities it has.
Assuming it has an Ice-type move, which I don't doubt it will.
Was joking, really, but this is from a raiding standpoint
The usual counters to a poison-type are easily exploitable by Greninja's moveset, so finding a good mon to take this on will be interesting. Assuming this will have Tera Blast when battled and not Gunk Shot.

Btw, how much sooner will I be able to find Nacli and Nymble, last night I just enter school for the first time
Oh and Tinkaton’s baby

I feel like this is a comp pokemon joke I don't get yet
endeavor toxi orb tatsu can die inside dodonzo
If tatsugiri is inside bozo’s mouth you can’t send out a second mon
It becomes immune to all forms of damage except burn/poison
Then you send out flamigo to copy bozo’s stat boost
and then murkcrow gets sent out
Heatran is a stall mon
gholdengo being classified as a stall mon sure is crazy to me. Singles is really like that parallel universe you hear about where everything is upside down
Anything is Stall
Can I get an uh.. normal/bug with punk rock & Boomburst
pokemon players are really out here calling control "stall" smh
Stall kinda implies that waiting things out is all they can do
That is, defense for the sake of defense
It can work towards a goal, such as waiting it out until you got your pieces together for your strategy, but usually doesn't seem to be very productive
defensive gholdengo pops up on stall yeah, but it fits everywhere tbh
I am all too aware that Gholdengo is Gholdengo

how do people typically train optimal mons on cart? grind catch for optimal statted mon, level it up, give it the right moves?
getting a friend to trade me fully legal hacked mons
get... some?
I wanna know a solo method because trading with the one person I trust(bf) isn't an option for me
i dont actually know how the grind goes in gen 9 at least
It depends on whatcha got going on.
If you got a lot of cash, either from a lot of Tera Raids you can always shell out for bottle caps
And go do Hyper Training
This'll increase a mon's IV's to the maximum of 31, though this doesn't set their hard-coded IV's to such, so they are still treated as their original value
Most mons you catch in Tera Raid battles also tend to have high IV's, oftentimes reaching the maximum possible.
As for EV training, buying up power items (Stuff like the Power Belt, Power Bracer, etc.) and having mons hold them will increase that specific EV for each battle.
i think they always have at least 3 high iv’s stats
There's usually a lot of groups of mons out there that can give you ample training in for each KO you score. Popular mons to do battle with would be Rookidee/Pawmi/Wattrel for Speed, Yungoos/Tauros for Attack, Gastly/Tatsugiri/Mareep for Sp.Atk, Flabebe/Drowzee for Sp. Def and Bergmite/Nacil for Def
Just keep in mind that every mon in your party gets the EV's, same as EXP, so you'll need to account for that.
If you so wish, I can trade stuff that might make the process of finding ways to train a little easier.
Maybe I should graduate to trying VGC
Or should I wait until the new ruleset for the next series?
You can play series 2 rn on showdown
u can also just play better formats
vgc is the better format 
Best format*
like smogon singles 
They boot up Fate Unlimited Codes instead

Cannibalism
I like the website's posts on the paradoxes is like "It's validity is not verified" 
No no validity would be correct here
Why's that
It's my understanding that validity in an academic context refers to applicability, rather than how sussy the source is
Reliability is more so of how often one gets something in line
Validity is more if the info itself is correct to begin with
Reliability is consistency
Validity is "correctness"
I see what you mean
yeah it's cuz we dont know if this is correct info or not
especially since Iron Valiant is supposed to be the strongest psychic type, it's not even psychic type
Just say the word and I'll decanonise Sandy Shocks
well more like "was meant to be" and then they failed
They're more akin to cryptids than anything else
You show someone a seal for instance, they'll know it's a seal. Show them something like, I guess a Bunyip on the other hand and they might ask what this thing even is
That's kinda the thing I think they were going for as far as 'validity' is concerned
The depictions of a Bunyip are all over the place
they committed a crime against design when they made paradox Magneton
...Although, yeah, it does beg the question as to how this Magneton exists.
Magnets were probably not a thing when this thing existed!
I mean, not the horseshoe magnet in any case.
Or screws
Magnetic rocks were a thing
They look like rock
Maybe it had to mug some other magneton for the stuff
Which is why sandy shocks is fucking awful
Either make a Paradox Magneton out of natural materials, or have it like.. gradually absorb more and more magnemite into itself
So you end up with something halfway between Magneton and whatever this is
Yeah, hence why I feel like the magnets you see were not originally part of this Magneton
...Either that or we're all reading way too hard into this
Daaamn, they released Dark Matter as a pokemon

Just finished catching the treasures of ruin in luxury balls
I remain unconvinced Raifort isn’t a former/future villain
Wezl in a luxury ball
There's a new bug in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet with Ditto's capture rates that isn't present in SWSH/BDSP.
If Ditto transforms in battle into any non-base-form Pokémon such as Fancy Vivillon, it is impossible to catch except with Heavy or Master Ball.
This is active in v1.1.0.

How does this even happen
Coding a game in 3 weeks

using a dartboard to decide who gets into the game
and worrying about the rest later
Caught a few of the paradoxes but atm I don’t really have any motivation to shiny hunt or do multiplayer/raid stuff in scarlet atm
Even the single player “post game” I’m not super eager to play atm
Yeah that too
I think spending like 2.5 hours trying to catch the treasures of ruin in luxury balls didn’t help

Would Snorlax go back to being a prominent special wall in OU if it got Unaware?
I can see it being used but not consistently enough to be OU
clodsire is the premier unaware special wall and skeledirge also gives it tough competition
those two sport better typing and utility
And dondozo is the premiere curse rest unaware mon

Do you remember when Garganacl said “it’s curin time!” And cured the entire meta to oblivion
there is a reason why garg is salt
That's not how salt works, rubbing salt in a wound will only make the injury worst
/joke
Starting arceus now
Who you picking
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1776788331-71ep39dpfq78g02df258op3w4zajkt0pw tilted down a bit but this was a nice match to stabilize, sitting around top 300-ish now
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between 0ne Last Kiss♡ and A ([Gen 9] OU)
Tatsugiri my beloved
It really takes a few good art to make like certain pokemons 
No clue, but I like the orange one the most
Tamago sushi best sushi, mainly cause I’m not all that familiar with sea food
The other two don't look as friendly
I was gonna send this but thought not to but, what the hey https://twitter.com/hoopsvgm/status/1615782134157053952?s=46&t=lAxbZ7V1GLiavvegzHmfkg
Totally thinking on changing my cake-theme playthrough to just food-theme, I really want to get yellow Tatsugiri and name it Tamago 
I was thinking to split it to Fish- and -Cake for Dondozo and Tatsugiri yeah
Still trying to find Tiramisu, Shortcake and Black, yeah apparently ‘Black cake’ is a thing 
It’s not like I can name Lokix ‘Chocolate’ cake 
I’m torn between asking or not about where to find Nacli and Tinkaton 
Red velvet is a cake if you need a red pokemon
Koraidon is a sammich
Oh god, I just thought of Wigglet named Udon is just a perfect name… then I remember Wuggtrio is red 
Welp, can’t say I didn’t gave Wuggtrio a chance 
wow he be eating stall
gengar's goofy ass trying to impress hatterene and it's working

gengar 
Master of the rizz
i have been enlightened to lead life orb spatk chomp
@random stream
also
idk
azu is def crazy for a water type
idk if i like azu or washtom more rn
this is def one of my most aggressive teams i have built this gen tho
not sure how i will like it
double water, double dragons, double ghosts
2 life orb users
3 technical set up sweepers
oh oops
i totally forgot belly drum in this azu set
tera bug 
tera bug is secretly broken on ceruledge
i dont hate tera fighting on ceruledge usually but im on the spdef bulk up set
theres a leftover 2 points in all mons
so
i might as well toss em in there
hmmm
idk how i will feel about taunt on ceru
I assumed it was for garganacl or something
i mean taunt
oh lol
otherwise it kind of naenaes on the ceruledge
taunt is for a myriad of reasons
yea taunt on nacl is nice for it
but this team doesnt really struggle vs nacl with having belly drum azu and gambit
ceru isnt gonna come in on nacl or want to face off against nacl
unless of course i decide to tera fight + fighting move
but idt i want cc on this set
i was considering brick break on azu
but i cant reasonably fit it imo
av can run brick break
but yea im not av
this team cant afford av
its too aggressive
hmm all things considered
maybe i do want t-wave over wisp on wash?
not sure how i feel about either
not like ground types switch in to wash
and having some sort of speed control is nice
oh yeah sneak
i havent been a huge fan of lefties on azu but good to keep in mind
Azumarill @ Leftovers
Ability: Huge Power
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 176 HP / 252 Atk / 56 Def / 16 SpD / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Spinner
- Protect
Yeah works with protect, I've been scouting a lot of dangerous mons w it
this might be good on another team but probs not here
yeye sitrus is probably fine here
i need my azu to go sicko mode asap
you can probably go back and forth on lefties 4 attacks, av 4 attacks, or sitrus 4 attacks
ye
i forgot belly
was toying with a few different azu sets till i came to the conclusion i wanted belly drum
forgot to swap tho
gucci
i swapped off the av + the av evs i use but forgot to get back belly
team looks nice so far only annoyance would be garga but at least it doesnt switch in well here
aside from ceru
chomp can lure dondozo
azu helps a ton vs chienpao
ye
its why i have considered fighting move vs garganacl
but i will just force them to tera fairy so it loses 100% to gambit
My team for a draft league + something cheap like a shroodle or something
looks pretty good
not sure how to read it, but it looks like you chose goodra really early which is interesting
that's pretty strong
ceaseless edge + lando-i should shred
and garg is like the best defensive mon ever
Meow for speed then probably goodra and a flex
Nice argument however,
252+ SpA Choice Specs Quark Drive Iron Bundle Helping Hand Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Quilava in Rain: 2378-2798 (925.2 - 1088.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
even then, that's a hella troll move. iron bundle is the best speed control in the game (thank you icy wind)
You forgot tera water?
I forgot terra watee
Ye
252+ SpA Choice Specs Quark Drive Tera Water Iron Bundle Helping Hand Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Quilava in Rain: 3172-3732 (1234.2 - 1452.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Icy Wind is nice
Basically
Quilava explodes
I like these kinds of moves that aren't too flashy but definitely do the debuffs good
Iron Bundle atm in VGC (whenever series 2 kicks off), is the regieleki equivalent of last gen
not a great move pool, but doesn't matter when your utility is high enough, and your neutral hits hit hard enough
Wait come to think of it
Storm drain would just redirect and suck up the hydro pump
yummy water
So calcing vs quilava is irrelevant since it wouldn't take the damage
Gastro gets hit by freeze dry instead
252+ SpA Choice Specs Quark Drive Iron Bundle Helping Hand Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Gastrodon: 1668-1968 (391.5 - 461.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
i started arceus last night
so far I'm not horribly impressed
but it's not bad either
protect
i'd give multiplayer a try in scarlet but i've never really tried multiplayer in pokemon
or super enjoyed it
Eh, same here
As much as I try to make things work I just don't like competing against others
252+ SpA Quilava Solar Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Iron Bundle: 312-368 (123.3 - 145.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Gastro protects, quilava one shots with power herb
But gastro is taunted
252 SpA Choice Specs Iron Bundle Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tera Fairy Gastrodon: 135-160 (31.6 - 37.5%) -- 0% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
L

Tera fairy gastro walls most dondozo sets which is hilarious
252 SpA Choice Specs Iron Bundle Helping Hand Freeze-Dry vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tera Fairy Gastrodon: 204-240 (47.8 - 56.3%) -- 28.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
ig helping hand helps

Bundle still gets one shot tho
Do you even play max hp max spd gastro
idk, it's one of the builds the tool suggested
this is something that has been confusing me a lot: how do EVs work?
I don't understand the concept
Basically at level 100, 4 evs increase a stat by 1
Max a stat can have is 252 and your mon can have a total of 510
Yo chat
My younger brother just asked me to play a game vs him in adv format
How hard do i want to obliterate the child?
Population bomb him
Maushold in gen 3 
Basically the "ruleset" is that he can only use frlg mons, while i can only use rse mons, both of us can bring a max of 3 legendaries/mythicals
I was thinking of just doing a full on baton pass team
baton pass is very evil and appropriate for this
Spikes stacking teams existed in gen 3 right?
Yes, skarmbliss+ttar is in fact very good
Spikes have been an insanely defining part of every generation they existed
Hard to overstate how defining
Only a little less prevelant imo 6-8(9) but only because of how comparitively omnipresent they were in the older gens
Squad is ready
KIMOCHI!! 
Man I really should’ve record this match! One unite kills all 4 of them trying to score points
what do you think of sableye?
Annoying 
Making my Pokémon confused and all those fake points lol
Haven’t got around dealing with them while invisible, I saw it(ironically), but didn’t get to fight them
Offensive supports are my jam
Please don’t use Egg bomb blissey in Full Fury 
She’s a sadist when she’s in there

You re looking at a victim who experienced stun per 1 sec 
Wait the Pokémon given was randomized, I forgot
Another new distribution has begun in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. This dsitribution is part of an infrequent series on the official Japanese YouTube Channel of an AfterSchool Club. This code gives all players 1 Ability Capsule. The code is T0KUSE1STUDY.
This event ends on February 28th 2023 at 14:59 UTC
Never gonna say no to more Ability Capsules
It’s Crystal Onix all over again
salt lick garganacl
minecraft boy...
Hmm, should use it on Eclair? Or do I keep Poison point
Also considering on switching Lemon’s volt absorb to wind power
@pseudo goblet
someone already posted that
Where?
you're one to talk
@pseudo goblet
Ah
Current arceus team is
Decidueye, Qwuilfish, mantine
At least for stuff I plan on keeping
had a random idea today. what if Ledian's stats weren't useless
This is Ledigarde, an evolution of Ledian that's inspired by transforming magical girls! Hero Form's ability to create spears is a reference to the Timegate Traveler film in BW2 that starred a sapient Ledian.
334
105
Soooo, bug mon got good non-official form 
okay i'll admit that's a decent fakemon
generally not a fan of fakemon bc i think most people who make them aren't very good at it
but that one's acceptable
The hero form could use a little bit of tweaking but the concept is excellent
The concept I like but like Copper said hero form needs retweaking
Feels like it just goes to far off from base form in the wrong way
Now I’m desperately want a Pokémon base on Ultraman with Hero form in mind, yes we have Gigantamax but it’s not the same lol
Considering Pokemon based on Ultra capsule anyway, having Ultra-based Pokemon should be no-brainer idea
Yet we are still missing that one thing 
Okay I have no idea how a Sentai/Power ranger Pokémon would work, we do have falinks but it’s not in Pride color for it to really count
Mine is still baxcalibur but glim is defo top 5

bax is also very nice
glim is just the right level of weird looking/ weird lore for me, reminds me of meteor or a toned down ultra beat
When two people with similar taste met 
honourable mentions include new tauros, toedscruel and skeledirge
Which Tauros 
💧
Oh that’s super cool!
I really liked Ledian’s design, so this is super nice
Volcarona best bug type 
is there a reason to run grass over flying glimmora if you dont have energy ball
I used to be on eball, so I'm not sure
ig water resist
also TIL volc lost roost
Does the adult lose a limb
Maybe 
I mean, seems to me it lose a pair of its legs to train its back leg, btw the big boi was helping the small one to stand up
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1778089416-84hivqsr0gd5tdl9unmzoqr6x3jekyvpw Super nice baxcalibur showing, finally back in 1800
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Damidoulight and A ([Gen 9] OU)

||the kingambit section was really sweaty when azu low rolled, but it's all good||
i think 2 just fuse since the legs are much thicker
but then again, it might never had 6 to start with it does not even evolve.
why the heck did they eq with tusk lol
Nah it's like hoothoot, it just hides the other 2 limbs when not in use
read roost p sure
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1778710781-653c6bzqhb82pabcs9wn4jjg3ubtmunpw here's a nice bax dengo gambit
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between A and pu1t ([Gen 9] OU)
What got me was Ryuki op hit the moment it broke glass😂
I honestly feel that dondozo has done catfish justice
Like whiscash is supposed giant catfish but ita puny
Dondozo on the other hand really encapsulates how big catfish cab be
Those first two letters made me think they were spelling wezl
First match
Sneasler is scary
Physical azelf about to go crazy
H samurott gets to hazard stack with giri being their only hazard removal lol
actually if we go from my top 50 to 1 it's in order
Chandelure
A-Marowak
Mimikyu
H-Typhlosion
Sableye
Lunala
Froslass
Decidueye
H-Zoroark
Giratina
Aegislash
Gengar
@pseudo goblet @normal cave
for my fav ghosties
hehe funny jellyfish
Fun fact btw
originally it wasn't even going to be a ghost type
They just changed it to fill the roster up a bit
Like as much as I like Unova, the water types were very filler that gen
At the least Basculin went from me ironically memeing on it to "oh it's actually got a cool evo now"
Sorry for interrupting, but I feel sorry for this guy 
Would’ve been interesting if they make the electric eel water type maybe 
eh I feel that would miss the point of the concept though?
It's better off as pure electric
Yeah I don’t mind it being pure electric
One of these is a wezl
I forgot h-typh was ghost
Also, Jesus Christ this school is laggy
Wait this school has two npc with big psychic bell mon???
Also one of the two starters I don't have the urge to box after my first mon
All those monotype runs broke me when it comes to starters

My top 10 fav starters are
Blaziken
Samurott
Greninja
Typhlosion
Infernape
Empoleon
Sceptile
Decidueye
Serperior
Blastoise
I would’ve put a dirty history joke here but, way to rubbing salt on me losing my Kamen rider tabs recently game… 
For me it's
Samurott
Typh
Typh-H
Samurott-H
Everything else
ever notice how Arven's team is all foodmons outside of his doggo?
How glitchy can this place be my god 
Salted grilled-oyster sounds good 🤤
berries, oyster, spice, mushrooms, salt, and the odd one out a good fren to eat a sandwich with
Finally get to Penny
Shroodle vs Wooper, bad choice lil lass 
Game’s gimmick obtained
we talking favorite pokemon?
-
Quaquaval(what are you talking about, bias? :yoshi: )
-
Blaziken
-
Lucario
-
Groudon
-
Ampharos
-
Goodra
-
Girafarig
-
Altaria
-
Oshawatt
-
Tinkaton(literally one of the best designs in gen 9 imo)
oshawott top 10
Puppy 
People do eat squirrel in some places
That's not a berry, that's habanero
Scoville is a measurement of spicyness, and capsicum is the chemical responsible for the burn
Pretty sure the berries were meant to be greedent
Here's my top 6 favorites
then 7-10 would be
Baxcalibur, Salamence, Krookodile, Aegislash
Are we doing faves again
Oh someone was doing faves so I tagged along
Last I did that list thing I wound up with 10 weasels in my top 10
And then Cresselia at number 11

Lycanroc normal and dusk form is prob in my top 10
Kilowattrel is putting in a hell of an argument to take over Braviary as my favorite bird
Do my waters show up kidge
Yes
I can’t believe I share a love of Krookodile with ren
Krookodile got swag
most of my picks are comp influenced but theres some ingame stuff to it too
Believe it or not, toxicroak was at one point a top 5 Pokémon for me, but I think the fact that it sucks comp has made it fall out the top 10 for me
Croak got powercrept hard yeah unfort
