I wouldn't consider this a leak because that's like a fortune teller saying "you will meet a person"
No shit
mighty storm
yeah this isnt a riddle, just saying he's posting about babapagos and terapagos having "some relationship", I hope pokemon company tells us soon
how exactly
bleak pine
Yeah, the way you describe it, this sounds like "psychic suggestion", or whatever it is
Basically, what Foolish Said
mighty storm
it just sucks cuz he does know the relation
normal cave
But
What does it matter
He just posted some vague shit with every possible option
Why even acknowledge such a pointless post, especially from someone you hate
Just because he has insider knowledge doesn't make everything he posts a leak. This time it's just a post for attention, which he does not deserve from what I can remember being said on this channel about him
Sorry for snapping at you, but I really do think that you could give less attention to someone rotten like him
Stand up for what you believe in.
Or don't. That's fine, too, not my place to judge.
mighty storm
Speaking of turtles (and to change the conversation), what type you thinking for the turtles?
Im hoping water, but its most likely normal
normal cave
Normal/water or water/fairy ig
Pure normal works too
It's related to all types it seems, so pure normal is probably the most likely option

What even is the point of Galarian Stunfisk
golden lance
Lore wise or?
bleak pine
Just a different type of trap, really
Stunfisk is a sorta landmine, Galarian Stunfisk is just a mean bear trap
Really clever personally. I do like how it's suggested they became like that due to the high iron content of the mud in Galar compared to everywhere else.
tacit sphinx
Why is its signature move not STAB
bleak pine
...Ok, that, I can't really come up with a good reason.
I have no clue why it's a grass-type move either
My guess is that maybe there would be some kind of like, grass-type that'd learn it.
Carnivine would've been a good pick.
As would Victreebel
bleak pine
Oho?
tacit sphinx
Galarian Stunfisk has that ability where it changes type to match terrain, right?
tacit sphinx
So Snap Trap is STAB on Grassy Terrain, right?
bleak pine
...Oooh
...Oh, wait, you meant ability
Not attack. I was thinking of the Camoflage move for a second.
bleak pine
That would be pretty sick.
tacit sphinx
No Symph the point is
Snap Trap’s damage is reduced on the terrain that Galarian Stunfisk gets STAB
bleak pine
...Oh
Ok yeah, that does sound stupid
I blanked for a second and thought "Yeaaa, damaging them over time and healing"

Ok
fyi Linoone is my favourite pokemon so if you dont pick him I will be knocking on your door aggressively
slate marlin
Um, choices?
short heath
Linoone, Pidgeotto, Heatran
slate marlin
Heatran's a legendary.
short heath
Yes
outer eagle
Heatran
slate marlin
I used to play Gen 3. I guess since you like Linoone, you can have it, maybe?
outer eagle
Heatran > Pidgeot > Linoone for me personally but that's only my opinion
altho based on that starter order if you had the option to make your rival keep his starter throughout the game enabled, choosing Pidgeot would mean Hugh has Heatran for the entire game
short heath
Heatran > Pidgeot > Linoone for me personally but that's only my opinion
But keep in mind Linoone is my favourite Pokemon and I can make direct threats
Also random movesets for my mons

maybe ARing too early had something to do with it

That truly is random.

the original universal pokemon randomizer is like almost a decade old at this point
it used to be the gold standard, but ZX is basically just its superior now
slate marlin
Hm.
short heath
I swear this happens every time I do a nuzlocke with a community
outer eagle
could also be an emulator problem tbf
slate marlin
community? Oh.
outer eagle
what emulator u using sickle
outer eagle
for my current PC i have Desmume as my emulator and ZX and my randomizer and i've probably played over 100 randomizers of various gens
without issues
which desmume build?
0.9.11 or 0.9.12?
bleak pine
Man, all these challenge runs are good stories coming up. Raz and their Kamen Riders/Inzektors, Ren doing randomized shenanigans.
Really tempted to find a good challenge for myself, so I am probably considering doing one
slate marlin
IDK which build I run. Hang on, let me check.
short heath
Lemme reset save
outer eagle
some cheats are also more outdated compared to the others and are less reliable as well
short heath
Time to rerandomize
random stream
Yeah use the one I sent sickle
There you can also give trainers extra pokemon, held items etc
there's more customization
bleak pine
Could personally do a rock-type only run of like, Emerald…?
random stream
funnily enough I was going to suggest emerald to symph
outer eagle
he might need to install some java depending on his pc but that's easy enough
bleak pine
Ooooh
Admittedly rock types would be like
I think I’m gonna be stuck with Geodude, Aron and Nosepass for a good while
outer eagle
rock types in emerald are pretty scarce
random stream
iirc nosepass is r/s only
outer eagle
and the fossils are also annoying to raise due to their leveling rate
random stream
oh E but youve to rock smash
bleak pine
Ohhh
So, I got Geodude, Nosepass, Fossils, Aron, Rhyhorn and Relicanth
(And I guess Regirock)
random stream
It's like this
random stream
Get cradily for sure. Are you able to trade evolve graveler

random stream
Uh it's this then (golem if you have a link cable)
bleak pine
I’ll update on if I can get this done or not
random stream
Sure
short heath
There you can also give trainers extra pokemon, held items etc
I did use the one you sent kid
bleak pine
I could always just do this on Omegaruby instead, and frankly I just might
More QoL stuff
outer eagle
Golem, Relicanth, Cradily, Lunatone, Corsola and Aggron ig
maybe not Corsola
but the remaining 5 would be autoincludes for me
bleak pine
Also means I can have mons like Probopass, Rhypherior and a few others
slate marlin
Hm, maybe try Munchlax?
outer eagle
Bronzor has the highest late game potential, Munchlax is middle of the road
bleak pine
Not a rock type, sorry to say
outer eagle
Reuniclus is the most immediately powerful
outer eagle
it's a starter
bleak pine
Seriously, it’s an event to even find one in DPPT
outer eagle
for sickle's randomized run
bleak pine
…Aaaah
outer eagle
usually in my nuzlockes, especially randomizied ones i prioritize having a smooth early game as a solid foundation into mid and late game
so i always pick the starter that will give me the easiest time early game
bleak pine
Good idea to have!
short heath
THE BAD NEWS
short heath
FUCK
bleak pine
Welp
outer eagle
well
at least he has an attacking move
sometimes you don't even have that luxury
short heath
I got a Scolipede up for grabs 
short heath
Um, explain the moves?
You have
A move that increases Def and SpDef
A move that changes abilities
A move that increases only Def
And 1 attacking move
outer eagle
+def -spdef nature is kinda sus but it's usable cuz the Snorlax line inherently has great spdef
so you can afford the minus

+def -spdef nature is kinda sus but it's usable cuz the Snorlax line inherently ...

then i'd just get rid of Poison Tail if anything
random stream
Yh poison tail is the most expendable there
bleak pine
Poison Tail is just so weird a move
outer eagle
pre-gen 6 poison is not that good of an offensive type
bleak pine
Poisons and has a high critical hit ratio, but is pretty weak otherwise
short heath
I 100% take it over Defense curl still
bleak pine
Something only Serviper could do for a bit until we had more stuff to learn it
outer eagle
munchlax has some pathetic spatk
so i predict your meteor mash will still deal more damage most of the time
even without stab
bleak pine
At least it gets more time in the light than friggin’ flame lash
outer eagle
you mean fire lash?
bleak pine
Yeah
short heath
Also
outer eagle
fire lash is a legit cool utility move for in-game play tbh
short heath
Every important trainer has 2 more mons
bleak pine
Fire Lash just is a move nothing much learns, or at the least, not anything that can make too good use of it
outer eagle
it's just a shame that the only mon that learns it is so ass
and not worth the effort
bleak pine
Both Heatmor and Salazzle have higher Sp. ATK than Atk, so the defense drop isn’t too helpful
short heath
Ah
It seems I have made an oversight
I have the TM for Rolling Kick
Which is not a thing
And everyone can learn it
random stream
outer eagle
if he truly made a mistake then every TM would be learnable by everything
so check after Cheren and Bianca give you their TMs
short heath
Still made it
I gave every important trainer better movesets
So everything isnt just levelup
Thats interesting though
I get to see what gym it is by fighting the trainers first
And then build accordingly
short heath
Yes
And Cheren gave me Tail Whip 
And Bianca gave me SD
Ok what if I did it the fun way
If it can be argued that the pokemon can learn the move
It can learn the move
short heath
Via TM
outer eagle
no as in the point of a randomizer is having something like Sharpedo with Fly
weird shit like that
so arguing based on common sense kinda defeats the purpose
short heath
Ah but you see
outer eagle
how about this
if it's one of the types
then it can learn it
then roll a dice
for non-stab
short heath
And also if the mon can learn the TM in vanilla
outer eagle
based on the number right?
short heath
wdym the number?
outer eagle
TM number
outer eagle
i suppose
that could work
so STAB, TM number, and vanilla learnset should be the benchmarks
short heath
Im stupid and small

bleak pine
ALRIGHT
I am gonna see if I can begin OmegaRuby rock run
...Now, I assume I just like, play the game as normal until I find the earliest instance of getting a rock-type, then just ditch everything else?
Going off what I know, this means I'm gonna truly begin in Granite Cave.
...Oh goddammit, this means I have to win against Brawly with just a Geodude
At the very least I could probably use DexNav and try to find a Geodude that would have good enough moves to work with
Or, just, I guess catch like 6 Geodude and just try to win with sheer numbers.
Don't think there's a rule against how many of a species you can have
Alright, STARTING THE GAME
...Man, it was just wild to see the introduction for Omega Ruby, from someone who played Sapphire Version as their first game
But it still doesn't really adress why Brendan/May was in the back of the truck where the cargo for moving to a new home was
Alright, important decision time... I think.
Treecko, Torchic or Mudkip?
Not that it matters, rock types only after a point and whatnot
pseudo goblet
pseudo goblet
Rock run right, you could pick Torchic if you want it to be hard
Since your rival will have the water
bleak pine
Y'know, why not
I'm probably gonna have like 6 Geodude before I finally find Nosepass and Aron, so I might as well go all the way
Sturdy for the win
Gonna feel so off picking Torchic and not using it.
It's like, my thing
bleak pine
Torchic ain't go no hands.
Alright time to help Birch and save him from nature just hating his guts
I might just like, I guess see if I can use DexNav to find a Seedot or Shroomish later at a very high level to just get done with Rustboro Gym so I can get to finding a Geodude
bleak pine
Allllright, evolved Seedot into Nuzleaf
Now I got to just bring it on over to Rustboro and win, so I can get on with the actual challenge
bleak pine
Alright, it begins
We set sail for Dewford
Ok, how friggin' hard is it to find a Geodude in Dewford cave?
Been here for a good 10 minutes and have not encountered a Geodude yet
Meanwhile I encounter an Abra like, 10 times in a row
Alright, friggin' finally found Geodude
Now, the question since I didn't really need to address it then: Should I turn off the EXP Share?
I feel like I ought to keep it on, but admittedly I might be way too overleveled if I proceed as normal without going out of my way to train up
bleak pine
So, stopped for a bit, but I finally caught two Geodude. One's got Curse, if that's anything worth writing on.
I'm gonna hold off on names until I defeat Brawly and figure out if 6 Geodude can take on a Machop and Makuhita
bleak pine
Turtle!
bleak pine
Alright, continuing Rock-type only play of Omegaruby
Still debating turning off the EXP share, if only to challenge myself
Up to 3 Geodude, this one's got Mega Punch
ooookkkay, just found a level 20 Geodude
I didn't set some kinda level cap for myself... so, score?

Heightened intelligence compared to other animals will usually do that
Elephants occasionaly pick on Rhino's, for instance.
Cause a lot of them seem to just know how dumb a Rhino is

Alright, 4 Geodude VS. A Machop and Makuhita
...Geodude just nailed Machop with a critical hit-Magnitude 10

Alright, friggin' finally made it to Mauville
Gonna pick that bike up so I can find Aron in that cave

@tacit sphinx you're the mvp of this run so far
without your will-o-wisp knock into slow pivot uturn combo we wouldve wiped like 4 times now

<@107723084735201280> you're the mvp of this run so far
finally acknowledged for my greatness
bleak pine
UGGGH
About friggin' time I found an Aron
@random stream Congratulations, you are Aron
...Unless you have something specific you wish for instead, that is!
You actually have Stealth Rock, amazingly, so that's cool I guess
If I had the time and sanity I would try for Head Smash, but I'm not gonna spend like 6 hours doing dexnav stuff just for that, sorry
slate marlin
I used to think Aron and Glaile were related.
bleak pine
Eh, they do seem a little similar, I suppose
Mineral-like, creepy faces
I’m gonna make this challenge 20% more irritating by turning off the exp share
Ooooh god I forgot this Zigzagoon knew surf
…It did’t hurt much but ouch
Ah, crap. Ren’s not doing so well against Magnemite. Gonna swa-
“Ren can’t be swapped out!”
Oh dammit
Alright, gonna sic Ren on Wally’s Ralts
Shadow Claw for the win

Welp
Alright, I went and just had Summer disrespect Wattson
Now time to go back to Granite Cave again to find Nosepass
mighty storm
wait but wasnt I dead cuz explosion?
bleak pine
Ah crap, not the Nosepass I was looking for, alright Ren let’s-
“Ren can’t be swapped out!”
DAMMIT MAGNET PULL
Nah, not doing a final death run
mighty storm
ah
bleak pine
Just me restricting myself to rock types is the only challenge here, along a few other things
Mostly getting a feel for monotype runs for Omega Ruby
So I am assuming the only other mon I can catch so far would be Slugma, and a bit later, Solrock

bleak pine
Croc friend~
@tacit sphinx Caught Nosepass, named it Raz
Calling it here for now: very productive so far
So far: can’t comment on Raz just yet
Ren’s nice so far, though it being a steel type and me continuing to send him against mons with Magnet Pull is really bugging me
Summer just wrecks stuff as per usual.

@tacit sphinx Today is all turning up Raz

@random stream Crit Blast Burn killed you
Ok Roxie was fucking brutal

outer eagle
you were at the level cap right?
short heath
Yes
outer eagle
could do some "level edging" if you feel unsafe in the future
short heath
But edging takes work 
outer eagle
slate marlin
Did I contribute anything?
slate marlin
What’s that mean?
short heath
You contributed a little bit
short heath
<:cheems:683182129668292685>
You were the clutch factor
You learned Head Smash on the level up
But also since I gave every important trainer 2 more mons
Idk what the fuck to do
slate marlin
So I basically yelled and no one fell asleep?
short heath
Yeah
outer eagle
you get quite a few encounters between Virbank and Castelia
so you should be able to refill your team on your way there
short heath
I get
sand forge
Ok Roxie was fucking brutal
outer eagle
just make sure to uh, encounter something in the sewers first before talking with Hugh
you get one in the Relic Passage as well
after you beat the Plasma Grunts
short heath
It'll be annoying to ask permission from everyone
So what if I just like
Don't get permission
outer eagle
also Castelia in general has a lot of amazing items for early game
Amulet Coin, 3 TMs, and Eviolite
and Exp.Share ig
outer eagle
also did you do the Virbank Complex sidequest to get the extra TM
short heath
Too risky

Was shiny Mareanie pink? Huh
Also how come that Corsola hasn’t ran for her life yet being there
tacit sphinx
@short heath welcome to the box on the bug monotype
tacit sphinx
No
You’re the last Bug type I haven’t caught yet
I will literally never use you
This is just for completion
You are a Weedle
short heath
Bee :D
tacit sphinx
Guys
I just walked through the entirety of Ice Path
Without a single encounter
That has NEVER happened to me before
No repels or anything
What the fuck
slate marlin
Nice RNG?
outer eagle
Gen 2 doesn’t have abilities right?
tacit sphinx
No
pseudo goblet
Unless HGSS I guess
bleak pine
Alright, since I caught Raz, it's time to do trainin' again
Y'know what's funny? Nosepass can learn Torment.
I dunno how, since I'd imagine a moai with a big schnoz not to be very rude, but... eh
Also yeah, lemme know what the funny thing is on me doing this challenge
sand forge
bleak pine
🗿
Alright, got the Aggronite
...I'm debating if I wanna use Mega Evolution or not.
I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
bleak pine
Righto
random stream
if they have a mega too etc
bleak pine
Yeah, that'd be fair
slate marlin
I remember in Ruby (or was it, Sapphire?) that there was a guy who was complaining about not having any Potions.
Being the nice (but somewhat dumb) young boy I was, I spent a good few minutes trying to give him one.
outer eagle
there was one random idiot on the route 104 that had no Potion to heal his mon
slate marlin
I used the 'Toss' option and wasted a good potion.
outer eagle
giving him a potion doesn't do anything either tbf
slate marlin
I also used 'Give' and gave one of my mons a potion instead.
Man, I thought I could help him. Wack.
outer eagle
Maybe i'll do a Map Randomizer this weekend
slate marlin
Have fun.
short heath
Make it a race
outer eagle
my blood pressure is high enough as is
bleak pine
Alright, caught a Slugma finally
And just learned that Slugma evolves into Magmacargo at friggin' level 38
What
But, the show has to go on, so... uh
@pseudo goblet You're Slugma! (Unless you don't wish so, then that's alright)
pseudo goblet
That’s fine 
bleak pine
Rn it's an "honorary rock type" or whatever
pseudo goblet
I’m the useless mon
bleak pine
(Sorry)
pseudo goblet
That wasn’t sarcasm lmao
bleak pine
On the bright side, I got a way to deal with grass-types now
bleak pine
Yeaaaa?
tacit sphinx
oras has a rock legendary but you can never obtain it
pseudo goblet
Regirock?
tacit sphinx
the one with rock in the name
bleak pine
One of Hoopa's weird stuff
pseudo goblet
It’s not a rock type is it
bleak pine
Oh.
tacit sphinx
you need to wake them up in the sealed chamber
tacit sphinx
you literally cannot get the rock legendary lmao
pseudo goblet
I was about to say relicanth too, heh
bleak pine
Well, shit
And here I was, gonna catch Regirock
And be like
"Hurr hurr, it's got regi in it's name, so congrats Reginald, you're Regirock"
pseudo goblet
Relicanth can get surf and Waterfall right
pseudo goblet
Knew it lmao
tacit sphinx
depending on strictness
pseudo goblet
Oh nvm
tacit sphinx
for the bug run i have to use a surfboard
it's required
for you, there is a rock in oras that can surf
aggron
bleak pine
Well, I'm not above HM mules
bleak pine
If I need HM's to do stuff, I can let that one rule slide for a bit
pseudo goblet
Oh right, dive is a thing
bleak pine
Yep
pseudo goblet
The water dig
bleak pine
Dive, Surf and Waterfall
It's a lot of water type stuff
Hoenn has too much water
7.8
pseudo goblet
Fitting
bleak pine
Yeah, it is admittedly worse off
tacit sphinx
you are forced to use whirlpool for a single required area
bleak pine
Oh yeah, Whirlpool
pseudo goblet
TR?
bleak pine
Yes?
pseudo goblet
Hm mon bidoof?
bleak pine
Ok, Summer is already friggin' level 30
I feel like I should probably find some opportunities to let everyone else get EXP for a bit
Did this Plusle seriously use bestow to give me an Oran Berry
bleak pine
Alright, caught a Solrock
@golden lance You are Solrock! (Unless not)
Praise the sun.
golden lance
bleak pine
Alright, up to 5 in a party now. Just need 1 more for a full set
Gonna call it now, but an update
Summer: Still a Golem, still just as jacked as ever. Highest leveled too, so I'll need to do some training for other members instead of relying on her
Ren: Damn near unbreakable physically... wet paper specially. But it'll iron out. Just learned good moves like Rock Slide, Iron Head recently.
Raz: I swear, Nosepass has noodle arms. Can't hit anything well but has a bunch of defensive stats. Might try doing some status moves later if I can find a good few to use
ZaneLee: Only fire type, will be good against grass types. But I don't got good prospects for their future considering Slugma evolves at level friggin 38.
Choccy: Solrock has levitate and I can tell this will be invaluable against Team Magma. Also could use Summer's Bulldoze attack in double battles without harming Choccy, so that's nice.
Aw, dammit, I just realized the Protector is in Battle Resort
Well, there goes me having Rhypherior before completing most everything
