what are the base stats on this thing?
#Pokemon
kind vortex
hm
99/83/91/125/83/109
seems okay-ish
yeah i think this will be pretty solid
it gets hurricane randomly, as if to remind you that yes, you can play this thing in rain too
latent sleet
so you guys think suicunesaur is good
kind vortex
i think it's at least decent
jury's out on if it's actually good
obviously gets close to 'must run' status if you're playing sun tho
normal cave
it gets hurricane
normal cave
This thing gives sun water coverage
normal cave
not chi-yu levels of spatker
lucid moth
but its gonna be nuts for sun teams since it is kind of built for em
kind vortex
if nothign else, i personally like the design and will be playing it
normal cave
If I were to play sun I'd run it
But I'm on rain so maybe not
I still think the mon is nutty
kind vortex
it's also fine in rain, i think
rain still boosts its new move and it gets hurricane
normal cave
If it gets hurricane and draco meteor, yes
You probs run surf on it over new move in rain
Or you keep new move as a counter for sun
mighty storm
I thought of a fun challenge
kind vortex
i think you run new move even in rain for yes, a response to sun
normal cave
If you scarf/specs this, you can run like meteor, hurricane, new move, surf
If this thing gets defog tho
kind vortex
do not see defog anywhere in its movepool
mighty storm
That leaves the following lines allowed: Drednaw, Sudowoodo, Rockruff, Coalossol, Literally salt, Klawf, Glimorra, tyranitar, and stonjourner
kind vortex
salt is based in game, so you have that covered at least
mighty storm
I'll do it after the mask DLC so whatever rocks we get in that also
Im still excited about terapagos
Look at the lil fella
kind vortex
looks awesome
bleak pine
It's SO CUTE

So far it's too accurate to be anything else

Centro isn't khu
warm sky
ah yes mr hack fraud that's unfortunately right
Nah someone just datamined lmao
placid junco
eh their both leakers, all the same to me
warm sky
Centro is less a leaker
And more
Gathers all the info
Of other leakers
Also Centro isn't a weird creep
maiden flax
(also it's less "all the returning pokemon got leaked" and more, "last time the pokemon who got their entries deleted were the ones to come back, here are the ones that were deleted this time")

the time to pay your respects is nigh
maiden flax
Also h-typh and h-samurott no?
those were already in
harsh path
Looking forward to things that help rain
mighty storm
ah yes mr hack fraud that's unfortunately right
nah, Khu is bad man with insider
Centro just reports
normal cave
What did khu do?
harsh path
Leak culture gaming
mighty storm
What did khu do?
called tinkaton a waifu, transphobia, ableism towards autistic people, called Nemona a goddess
normal cave
mighty storm
beef with Centro to very explicit levels
yeah Im not going to say the whole list, this guy is just BIG GARBAGE
kind vortex
called tinkaton a waifu, transphobia, ableism towards autistic people, called Ne...
first one is weird but not that big a deal to me if it was just that, and the fourth one is whatever
two and three are far more serious tho
like with just those two you'd make your case and then some

Transphobia and ableism very bad

normal cave
maiden flax
mighty storm
it has shrubbery, but no way can it hold anything with those
mighty storm
but how, ok sure
placid junco
having hands and having usable hands are very different
mighty storm
very small hands
mighty storm
btw foolish guess what Im naming ogerpon?
maiden flax
its of the utmost importance
normal cave
btw foolish guess what Im naming ogerpon?
mighty storm
ya know it 😄
mighty storm
I hope lokix gets a like evo in the Teal Mask dlc
golden lance
having hands and having usable hands are very different
Honestly, it might be a vine whip case where the hands can just extend
golden lance
Yea
mighty storm
golden lance
It has a backpack sort of thing
normal cave
Idt they are the ogre's underlings
They are the hero's companions
@pseudo goblet how does the momotaro legend go
golden lance
Aren't they based on the momotaro tale?
normal cave
Yep
normal cave
Looks like they'll be YOUR companions
mighty storm
so they may be used against the ogre?
normal cave
https://serebii.net/scarletviolet/fezandipiti.png
I fucking love this thing btw
golden lance
Man i love nymble so fucking much
warm sky
I fucking love this thing btw
I too love Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2
normal cave
Ikr?
warm sky
best of underlings of ogre
Not an underling
Enemy
normal cave
Really loved the character
warm sky
Momotaro means you get them to defeat the oni
golden lance
Then gen 9 is like "here's a swiss army knife, go nuts"
normal cave
Kung fu panda 2 had its issues, but I did enjoy it
warm sky
Then gen 9 is like "here's a swiss army knife, go nuts"
Kamen Riders do be like that
kind vortex
warm sky
If only he had multiple modes
kind vortex
finally got a decent shot of him
mighty storm
Not an underling
Enemy
so catch the 3 legendaries and then fight ogerpon?
normal cave
It eepy
golden lance
Kamen Riders do be like that
Just wait until the 3rd legend turns into a belt addon
kind vortex
woudln't stand still to save his life while awake
normal cave
Why it eepy
warm sky
so catch the 3 legendaries and then fight ogerpon?
Yes
golden lance
Sleeping pills
mighty storm
it was just caught in the time I took the screenshot
normal cave
Makes sense
golden lance
They were hidden in the sandwiches
normal cave
Not even close
kind vortex
my hot take is that what we got looks better than th ebook, at least for walking wake
undecided on iron leaves
normal cave
I dislike wake
mighty storm
kind vortex
leaning toward not as good as book for leaves
golden lance
Inb4 they're like the therian forms
normal cave
Leaves is boring, but wake looks so ugly imo
golden lance
You use an item on them and they switch
warm sky
Please
normal cave
Wake could have been so good without the mane
Raptor suicune with two tales? Yes fucking please
But no, it looks like a dandelion
golden lance
Fym dandelions are cool
normal cave
Floral looking mf
golden lance
And also ruin ecosystems
golden lance
at least post the right show, smh
mighty storm
I hope this is a sign the companion trio can transform into heroes
golden lance
normal cave
Fym dandelions are cool
They are, but they are not dinosaurs
mighty storm
also geodude o.O?
normal cave
Why would I want a dinosaur that looks like it belongs in a rabbit bowl
golden lance
That's a magnemite
normal cave
also geodude o.O?
That geodude looks screwed
warm sky
I mean
maiden flax
Well its one small region
warm sky
We are Spanish
mighty storm
reverse isle of armor where we get a legendary from an ???? region
golden lance
Don't forget portugal
warm sky
(and also Portuguese)
maiden flax
Speaking of
We also get to go to an offshore school in the second dlc
warm sky
ninja'd
mighty storm
instead of kubfu being imported over, we going over and yoinking the ogerpon
warm sky
No I mean I got ninja'd
warm sky
the dlc still isn't gonna make me watch Donbrothers btw
maiden flax
I like how the new characters look
maiden flax
Also the two at the back are present for both dlc
mighty storm
you right
maiden flax
Question is who are they and why are they important to the plot?
golden lance
I like how the new characters look
Ngl, the gen 9 protags look good in that fit
normal cave
Yeah
maiden flax
Ngl, the gen 9 protags look good in that fit
Agreed
normal cave
No school outfit
normal cave
Feesh
maiden flax
Here's a question
Does area zero have an underwater section connected to this offshore academy?
mighty storm
maybe
maiden flax
Cause the million dollar question is
mighty storm
that hair is WACKY
maiden flax
What is the tera legendary doing here?
normal cave
Ah, so there is a long time until dlc
mighty storm
very
maiden flax
Uva and naranja academy being a rich kid private school with the protag and friends being confirmed hella rich is funny to me for some reason
normal cave
This year is not very
normal cave
Tfw you play as upper class
maiden flax
I mean have you seen nemona's house?
placid junco
Yeah Nemona’s dad canonically works with the PCs or something
maiden flax
hell have you seen your own house
normal cave
Money really do be the most broken power
placid junco
Or has to do with Paldea pokeball production
maiden flax
Arven's parents are the professors
placid junco
Penny’s dad is ???
normal cave
Rich kids go around, befriend unique legendaries, and save the world
Mmmm yeah that kinda deflates it for me
placid junco
Penny is a foreign student so her family can afford to send her abroad
maiden flax
This is also how they can afford a school trip half way across the wolrd
Oh right penny is from galar
I forgot about that
normal cave
Money op
placid junco
And the exchange student thing is probably covered by the school
maiden flax
Like the general money situation of most of the pokemon protags is left rather ambigious with "likely middle class"
But sv is sort of like "yeah no you guys are rich"
golden lance
Gen 2 is an interesting scenario since your mom buys stuff with your savings
mighty storm
I wonder, will the companions talk?
golden lance
And gen 6 you can work in a part time job
placid junco
I wonder if it’s old money or actually earned
maiden flax
Gen 2 is an interesting scenario since your mom buys stuff with your savings
like an actual asian parent
placid junco
My parents borrow my cash a lot too
mighty storm
latent sleet
i think one of them dies

mighty storm
takes my Lokix to the dlc area
golden lance
Inb4 they make the rusty sword compatible with lokix
bleak pine
I find it cool how the showcased returning mons are also ones with ties to Japanese Folklore
(Ninetales, Shiftry, etc...)
mighty storm
true
obsidian juniper

Indigo League

@tacit sphinx Yo check it, Dewgong's coming back.
Thought to let you know.
mighty storm
bleak pine
I seriously wonder how Shiftry walks around
mighty storm
You get it?
bleak pine
It's wearing Geta, but there's like only one block on its feet
mighty storm
It's a gen 1 reference
bleak pine
That would be serious murder on your ankles if you had to deal with that
golden lance
I seriously wonder how Shiftry walks around
He's a tengu, i wouldn't be surprised if he could just levitate
bleak pine
Yeah, true enough
bleak pine
Those fans it's got can really stir things up
mighty storm
I like that, thats clever
bleak pine
Ye
All we need now is Lapras and Jynx
Y'know, I still find it odd how Magmar and Electabuzz get evolutions in Magmortar and Electivire... but Jynx got left out in spite of being somewhat related to those two.
...Although that's likely for the best given Jynx doesn't have the best reputation.
mighty storm
I just saw gen 1 machamp
bleak pine
He be flexxing
mighty storm
bleak pine
They really did make Machamp's sprite very dynamic here
You can tell it's just rushing right here
mighty storm
also yeah fatoise
golden lance
Man, i just remembered the drama surrounding lokix and bulbapedia
bleak pine
Pwfff
golden lance
That was wild
warm sky
Oh RIGHT LMAO
bleak pine
Just funny how they were that upset about a homage to Kamen Rider
bleak pine
You could honestly say the bug-type in itself is a homage given how it's supereffective against dark types
golden lance
But he's a dark type himself
bleak pine
...An Anti-Hero?
golden lance
Because kamen riders often use the same power as their villain counterparts
warm sky
Isn't it always?
bleak pine
Yep
golden lance
Agito is an exception, from the top of my head
bleak pine
Always has been
warm sky
Kamen Riders power source and their villains being the same is a constant iirc
Speaking to choccy
bleak pine
...Oh
mighty storm
In a similar fashion, void knight in power ranger dino fury uses a ranger-like outfit
bleak pine
Man, I need to watch Kamen Riders sometime.
mighty storm
and they never explained it
golden lance
Something something it gets explained in the sentai counterpart
mighty storm
ah, well maybe the upcoming sequel series explains it
warm sky
Wiki says Agito does it too choccy
mighty storm
since void knight became good and all.
warm sky
Man, I need to watch Kamen Riders sometime.
May I recommend Build?
golden lance
It's weird because ||Lords were created by the overlord while the seed of agito was created by prometheus||
bleak pine
Oho
warm sky
Haven't seen Agito yet so no spoilerino
golden lance
As a piece of advice, aside from zi-o and decade, which are anniversary seasons and therefore filled to the brim with spoilers and crossovers, kr is more often that not self contained by each show
So you can just pick which one you liked the design the most
normal cave
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1810189793-ezieen8ghjdpe0jjc7t30f6jans6c9dpw 1-1 vs the bellibolt person
first time caught me off guard, but I was ready game 2
golden lance
Haven't seen Agito yet so no spoilerino
I recommend it
Pacing is a bit ehh and they don't bother to explain shit but it's a fun show
It's like, the most grounded kr season that was mainly written by inoue
golden lance
Kamen Riders power source and their villains being the same is a constant iirc
Also, pretty sure Kabuto was an exception too
Tho ig not exactly since they basically reverse engineered the enemy to use the same power as well
And by same power i mean "being really fucking fast"
normal cave
wait, something is holding the mask
A tentacle or a hand

"Fuck galar, we're gonna show every single feature gamefreak cut from the games over the years, and then we're gonna make so that Ash can never be the protag ever again"

does Teal Mask have a food theme
Scarlet is based on oranges, Violet is grapes and Indigo Disk epilogue is blueberries

Water types using Fire-type moves is always a whammy
kind vortex
i took slowbro to that battle, cleaned up pretty easy
bleak pine
Slowbro's always just an MVP, aint it?
kind vortex
if i had to guess on a good mon for iron leaves, probably chi yu
latent sleet
live chi yu reaction
bleak pine
kind vortex
ofc that assumes what i read was accurate and it doesn't have sacred sword
bleak pine
I would likely say Bronzong
But that's just my guess. I dunno if it has the moves that would normally be used in raid battles
I know it learns Iron Defense, so there's that.
You could also try Toxapex if you just want to do debuffing
Wait no that's a bad idea don't
kind vortex
for iron leaves specifically, yes, that's a horrible idea
bleak pine
I completely forgot it's a psychic type
Bahgawd them robots
But I got a good feeling about Bronzong.
mighty storm
but peaches aren't green
doesnt matter
bleak pine
You could also use Spiritomb
bleak pine
Well, just in case Iron Leaves has a fighting type move
kind vortex
according to what i read earlier, raid version doesn't use sacred sword
latent sleet
i didn’t see a fighting move
bleak pine
Ahh
kind vortex
which is why i bothered mentioning chi yu at all
latent sleet
but it does use sword dance at the first couple of turns
golden lance
this is why the fruit of the first part is peaches
We don't have confirmation on that
latent sleet
you can just wil o wisp it
bleak pine
Crimity, where is Marshadow when you need them?
Not that this would be a good choice either if possible
kind vortex
in another castle region
bleak pine
But I miss Soul-Stealing Strike
Or whatever that move was called
Steal buffs then attack
All we got for reseting buffs is just Clear Smog
kind vortex
haze?
bleak pine
Ah, good choice
Though, I think the barrier that activates prevents status moves from landing
...Unless Haze ignores that, then yeah that's a solid choice for raiding moves
mighty storm
We don't have confirmation on that
I mean, the evidence is there
dog, monkey, pheasant, and the final mon is an ogre/oni
pseudo goblet
<@430667447692034059> how does the momotaro legend go
Momotaro born from a Peach, grows up quickly, Demons bothering his adopted grandparents, Momo go adventure to kill demon, Grandparent have him a sword and Kibidango, he met animal each by each, Monkey Pheasant, Dog, The Kibidango earlier helped as a way to get them to help Momo, they set sail to Demon’s home island, and kill him, end
pseudo goblet
I never actually like, read the story in its full, there were just so many Momotaro parodies in Japan, you pretty much encounters one every once in a while

Tyty zane

Dewgong
mighty storm
There you go, <@268199601817780234>
yup so peaches seemingly is the fruit of the first dlc
or I guess a singular peach, but yeah
latent sleet
the demons momotaro chases are ogres
mighty storm
yup like ogerpon
mighty storm
ye
mighty storm
Dewgong is a multilayer Kanto reference 
It's not just a mon from Kanto, it also references the indigo league
pseudo goblet
i would think that a ogre pokemon would be a aka ao oni
I mean, we sort of got that with Gen 5 mons, I heard Thunderus and Tornadus were planned to be Red and Blue to reference the Red and Blue Oni, but they sort of got that already with Sawk and Throh, so nope and they added Landorus
mighty storm
dewgong even being a mon that was used in said league

another person said "Oh this is virizion vs suicune"

Normies 💀
mighty storm
It's going right over the normies heads, it's a kamen rider merch so it's a reference to the part 1 of the dlc
cuz mask
it's also a disk like shape so could also reference the disk that way?
pseudo goblet
Can’t stop thinking the first Kamen Rider intro theme with ‘Green Mask’ as one of the lyrics
mighty storm
it worked tho
crimson moat
Love pokemon journeys as a concept
Well you are right about it as a concept
Concept only, however
Execution? Not so much
golden lance
Yea, pretty much
crimson moat
Journeys isn't Black/White anime, but the later half of the show falls apart

Can someone explain how a dinosaur Suicune makes sense
Didn’t Ho-Oh create the beasts
normal cave
it doesn't
mighty storm
Can someone explain how a dinosaur Suicune makes sense
It doesn't, that's the point
normal cave
issa bad point
mighty storm
it's very existence contradicts recorded history
Much like ooparts
Which is why the theory is that these pokemon dont actually exist in the past or future, Terapagos is a wish granting turtle
It predates suicune, it shouldn't exist yet it does.
harsh path
The big turtle is beautiful
vagrant steppe
issa bad point
True, it's kinda lazy imo
normal cave
vagrant steppe
Less lazy than the future paradox, but "oh they're manifestations of people wanting it" is sorta dumb
normal cave
this game came down to the wire
mighty storm
The big turtle is beautiful
big turtle do be beautiful

Less lazy than the future paradox, but "oh they're manifestations of people want...
who tf wanted iron bundle
vagrant steppe
Like if they were gonna do that, an alternate Suciune themed after Eusene or something would have been cool
vagrant steppe
who tf wanted iron bundle
Me, put him back in OU
normal cave
or worse, iron jugulis
vagrant steppe
No one
mighty storm
Did you hear what iron jugulis is thought to be
vagrant steppe
Tbh they should have made the future ones hopeful future mons then
normal cave
no
vagrant steppe
Like a corsola that's massive and thriving
placid junco
The offspring of a hydreigon and a robot
normal cave
yeah why are the future ones dystopian
vagrant steppe
Or a Tropius/Golurk hybrid that grows food
placid junco
Jugulis isn’t dystopian it’s just horny
vagrant steppe
That'd be way cooler to make the future ones super hopeful
normal cave
jugulis and the tyranitar ones are nice
normal cave
I blame the turtle.
pseudo goblet
I love the turtle
mighty storm
look at that face, not their fault. They just wanted to make people happy
normal cave
they did it in a stupid way
vagrant steppe
And the past ones should have been more of "What if the pokemon evolved a different way"
normal cave
why would anyone want iron moth that goes around threatening people
vagrant steppe
Like making Roaring Moon a Salamence that never learned to fly
mighty storm
sure they brought fakemon to life (as far as we know)
but they also brought friends like
normal cave
they brought the harmful fakemons
mighty storm
pseudo goblet
why would anyone want iron moth that goes around threatening people
People that WANTS to threaten other people
normal cave
why would the turtle grant the evil wishes then
placid junco
Why would anyone want scream tail period
placid junco
Sandy shocks is hilarious
pseudo goblet
why would the turtle grant the evil wishes then
Good wish, evil wish, they re all desires
Shout out to KR Geats
normal cave
but overall the paradox mons are harmful
mighty storm
not koraidon and miraidon
pseudo goblet
Why would anyone want scream tail period
That one is just one idk how to defend
placid junco
That’s why AI Sada/Turo wanted to stop the Time Machine
To stop the paradoxes from overwhelming the ecosystem
normal cave
aye
normal cave
but if the turtle is the one making them, it is super irresponsible
mighty storm
pseudo goblet
Toothless my buddy
normal cave
and I don't give a fuck how cute it is it doesn't excuse it nearly destroying the ecosystem
latent sleet
taunt and will o wisp helps a lot
normal cave
I will admit the turtle is extremely cute
mighty storm
I wonder how many other legendaries would have turned a new leaf with a nice sandwich
normal cave
but if it is responsible for creating the paradox mons, it is messed up
mighty storm
there have been legends that have done worst
latent sleet
imagine if they aren’t even past/future pokemon and just freaks of nature created by the little turtle guy
mighty storm
Like I love kyogre and all, and wouldnt mind its future. But it's still kinda evil
normal cave
kyogre is also responsible for creating the seas and giving a source of life to the world
normal cave
but yeah, it is a dangerous neutral being
mighty storm
while wrecking the ecosystem
normal cave
nobody is calling it an innocent bean
cunning osprey
I have doubts if gen 6 and beyond mons will get paradox representatives
normal cave
that's the [oint
cunning osprey
wonder if it is because even GF acknowledges the dark ages
normal cave
nobody is excusing it being an apocalypse on legs
mighty storm
of course, I'm biased cuz like water types are my favorite
normal cave
unlike the turtle
cunning osprey
then again the dark age gens are still represented in stuff so...
mighty storm
also a while back I had an idea for a fan game that took place in an underwater region
Now we getting a mostly underwater dlc 
I like that
latent sleet
killer fish pokemon
mighty storm

is wailord in there
mighty storm
we dont know if part 2 will have a wailord, but I hope it is
Maybe even something like wugtrio

Me when I go to class but someone opens a window and drowns everyone
cunning osprey
huh a neat location concept for the franchise
an underwater structure
hope the next game gives us a floating island or city

new mons ate a chunk off my elo
takes time to learn how to deal with them
also, some change I made to my team means I lose harder to kingambit
if they keep it as their last mon I have no answer for it
do I run bullet punch on scizor over close combat?
I could try
wait shit not bullet punch
mach punch
nvm scizor doesn't get it

I only really have one question about the returning Mons list
Is ||Minior|| one of them

I dont remember
placid junco

Is ||Minior|| one of them
||it was on the list i saw earlier, yes||

likes dinos
likes meteors
placid junco
Yes

the dinos would be turning in their graves if they weren't busy being used as fuel

Found the Jurrac player

I am literally playing a character in a Pokémon TTRPG who starts off with a cranidos and a carbink

It’ll be fun doing the white herb shell smash stuff

Man, what is that TTRPG. I wanna find that system
bleak pine
Oooh
placid junco
bleak pine
Ah, cool, will give it a read
Alllrighty, defeated Walking Wake with my Chansey
I love how unbreakable Chansey is in these kinds of situations
Also wow, 6 Water type Tera Shards for a victory? Cool stuff.
mighty storm
||it was on the list i saw earlier, yes||
well thats one more for my ||"fossil" hunter|| playthrough
bleak pine
Though, I am a little 'eh' on damage dealing prospects.
mighty storm
aka ||rock ||only
bleak pine
I wanna deal damage... but I feel like I'm tool cool for Miraidon.
I could just bring Ampharos
normal cave
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1810418594 tera electric tera blast bax is not something I expected ngl
also
removes hidden power
adds tera blast
mighty storm
eh tera blast is more balanced
normal cave
it fits on physical mons as well and hits harder
mighty storm
cant run it on everything on your team
bleak pine
Jeez, if I made a tabletop united character I dunno what I would even make
mighty storm
cuz without terastalization, it just sucks
normal cave
idk if it's more or less balanced since I'm not good enough at the game
bleak pine
Copper's wild child idea that likes the rocky dinos is already cool
bleak pine
I like how Tera Blast's animation is different based on the type it's currently taking on
mighty storm
versus hidden power where you can run it on multiple mons
normal cave
I just find it funny that they removed hidden power for it
tera blast makes up for it being locked to one mon by being both physical and special
making it usable on any mon, as opposed to special attackers only
mighty storm
exactly, its a trade off
more over all usability, but you can't do it on everything on your team
bleak pine
Honestly, given how much hoops you need to jump through to actually get a suitable type of Hidden Power on anything, I massively prefer Tera Blast
If there were easier ways to adjust the type, that would have been pretty great.

yeah it's easier to get the right type
no need to grind breeding
but the similarity with hidden power is just so funny to me

I always feel off when I breed a massive number of mons
Feels like some big messed up chain of eugenics when I do that. Yuck.
normal cave
I don't. I trade them away and make other people's day
normal cave
the breeding thing is iffy I agree
bleak pine
I don't exactly relish finding more Weedle people dump there.
normal cave
what you get in return doesn't really matter
bleak pine
Yeah, I spose
normal cave
if you are breeding, you are already getting the mons you want
bleak pine
I tend to try breeding mons every sort of holiday and trade them off
I probably made someone's day when they decided to try surprise trade for fun and got a Charmander in the mail.
bleak pine
With the advent of Hyper Training and other ways to attain egg moves, I'm glad breeding has become less necessary

man, walking wake is hard to deal with
I need to paralyze it before I can even begin taking care of it, but that locks rotom into twave

huh its legal already?

and it still eats like 2 mons

all teams rn are on zoroh and walking wake
some sun teams run both and turn zoro into torkoal for some ungodly reason

time to not play for a while
normal cave
pult would answer wake
but not scarf wake
only thing that comes close to dealing with scarf wake is rotom spamming twave
might need to unscarf it, but trick scarf is so useful for dealing with mogus and pex and so on
if only we had kingdra

I got so much ideas of trainers for PTU, but I'm a little unsure of what I could likely make if I ever join a game
mighty storm
Ok the bulba kinda cute, but what they do to squirtle?!
they also made one for the slow line
@waxen moat
waxen moat
Oh those fossilpokes are super cute
bleak pine
PTU's Pokedex is just a pain in the arse to flip through
You got starter mons on the front, legends in the back and just a friggin' mess of everything else in the middle.
warm sky
So, I am going on a limb here, but assuming Walking Wake's moveset is something like
Flamethrower
Draco Meteor
Hydro Steam / Hydro Pump (depending if you are on sun or not)
Hydro Pump ( For STAB outside sun) / Hurricane / Terra Blast (coverage)
With probably timid choice scarf?

vagrant steppe
Eww gross
Also that last sentence is weird because it implies that the MTG proxies didn't sell or that wizards listened to feedback
placid junco
On the (very small) bright side, it’s a quarter of the price, has more content, and more than likely isn’t a set of randomly packed boosters
vagrant steppe
Also this is way better than the MTG proxies because it's 3 actual competitive decks from the time (the MTG ones were 60 randomized alpha cards for $1000)
And there's at least stuff you can actually use in the set too
placid junco
You get the accessories too yeah
vagrant steppe
Still gross but WAY better than M30

Wouldn't call it competitive, much less from the time
Since it comes with new cards for all 3 decks (lugia, hooh, and suicine ex, for example)
vagrant steppe
Oh I thought it was like retro competitive decks
golden lance
And like, the decks went meant to be played against each other and only against each other
Which is a bit hard to do since blastoise was the second best deck of the format, venu was niche, and zard was garbage
So for example, only the zard deck gets computer search

So first draft of possible sun team, need a 6th member
Not sure on terra types
lucid moth
amoongus is an options
toark -> steel
tusk -> flying/steel/grass
moon -> fire/dark
hatt -> water/fairy
wake -> water/dragon/electric
golden joe is also not a bad pick here cus u have no spin blocking really
amoongus isnt spinblocking but spore support is great and can cover a defensive trio of fire/water/grass
joeseph on the other hand covers fairy/dragon/steel
and gives u a good choice for a scarfer
if amoong
teras for it would be poison/water/ground/ghost
if joe -> steel/ghost/fighting
though for this team only wake and moon wanna be clicking tera
warm sky
Yeah I assumed so

moon -> fire/dark
Why Fire for moon btw?

Something of a regional evolution
Or just different Evo overall

the good news

Something of a regional evolution
Something between Regional and Convergent I think, mostly Convergent but have Regional traits since Munchlax didn’t become different mon like Wigglet and Toedscool

I am getting sick of the Asian shilling in the pokemon franchise
we get Spain but both epilogue stories have legends based on Asia again
okay not necessarily again since only Kubfu and Ushifu were Asian in Gen 8, Calyrex and the horses were Arthurian and Christian respectively but still there has been a lot of Asian shilling
even the quartet in gen 9 are based on Asia
sleek eagle
My theory is that terapagos is normal type and its ability is unnerfed protean
maiden flax
we get Spain but both epilogue stories have legends based on Asia again
tbf pokemon is a japanese game
also the second dlc is not asian based, just the first one
makes you wonder if this is going to be a trend with dlc
cunning osprey
the turtle may be based on the World Turtle from Hinduism I believe
maiden flax
from what we know of the books
unlikely
sleek eagle
Pretty sure its a mix of world turtle and Quetzalcoatl
cunning osprey
it may also at the least have ouroboros vibes
maiden flax
i forgotten which it was but iirc people theorise it to be a one of the native american ones
vagrant steppe
wait lol, the SV DLC is 35 USD
Wait $35?? Damn, they're really charging $35 for basically nothing and getting back the content they cut
Thats a big asking price for a game that still looks and runs like ass
maiden flax
how many strictly asian legendaries have we had so far?
the momotaro gang
the urshifus
the ruin quartet
celebi i imagine?
ho-oh and lugia
the legendary beast trio
who else?
sleek eagle
Honestly it makes sense to be based on Quetzalcoatl given that spain tried to conquer the areas that worshipped him which kind of fits in with the paldean empire trying to take the treasure of area zero

the tao trio
maiden flax
right the tao trio
cunning osprey
I think Dialga and Palkia are Izanagi and Izanami
sleek eagle
What about the forces of nature quartet
maiden flax
dialga and palkia are extremely ambiguous especially considering arceus is just god
cunning osprey
yeah they are the holy beasts
maiden flax
What about the forces of nature quartet
that's the tao trio
(which i forgot was now a quartet)
sleek eagle
The tao trio is zekrom, reshiram and kyurem no?
cunning osprey
Landerous is Byakko, Thunderous is Seiryu, Tornaderous is Suzaku, and Enamorus is Genbu
in their beast modes

and tao trio are also asian

the lake trio you mean?

Life trio?
cunning osprey
Xernas, Yveltal and Zygardi
sleek eagle
Lake trio doesn't have alternative forms
latent sleet
or are you talking about xerneas
maiden flax
oh
latent sleet
ah yeah
cunning osprey
but the Deer is the creator Brahma, the Raven is the destroyer Shiva, and the Snek is the preserver Vishnu
sleek eagle
What western legendaries do we have besides the tapus
warm sky
That's a STRETCH
latent sleet
both residents of the world tree
maiden flax
it's sort of how the weather trio is very hebrew
cunning osprey
I think the Light trio are alchemy based
sleek eagle
You mean cosmog and necrozma?
warm sky
Like I'm sorry, but as a practising Hindu... Ye no the gen 6 trio isn't really Hindu unless you stretch Yveltal
warm sky
the turtle may be based on the World Turtle from Hinduism I believe
More likely to be a reference to urashima taro tbh
sleek eagle
Pretty sure most of gen 7 was western based except for cosmog and necrozma
maiden flax
What western legendaries do we have besides the tapus
tapus, weather trio
we can sort of count the creation trio and arceus? but they are very ambiguous outside of arceus just being a god of all
the regis
heatran cresslia and darkrai are ambiguous
im not sure where the lake trio count as
sleek eagle
Cause aliens are more historically American
latent sleet
and xerneas can be easily seen as the yggdrasil itself
cunning osprey
I think Arceus is Buddah
sleek eagle
Yeah but they aren't asian either
latent sleet
arceus is more god than buddha
sleek eagle
I think Arceus is Buddah
Its not
warm sky
Arceus is multiple divine creator gods
cunning osprey
specifically the 1000 hands
maiden flax
Being hawaiian and all
well we are dividing things to asian and western here so being a pacific island counts to western in this convo
sleek eagle
That wouldn't make any logical sense
cunning osprey
which is often associated with Buddah
warm sky
He is not one specific thing
sleek eagle
Arceus is just a combination of all the creation gods
cunning osprey
is Giratina a japanese god
maiden flax
giratina is closer to satan
warm sky
well we are dividing things to asian and western here so being a pacific island ...
Feels a bit silly, since western is more European stuff
latent sleet
or maybe lucifer
warm sky
Giratina MIGHT have Izanami in it though
