mighty storm
yes
pseudo goblet
Ah
mighty storm
thats how I know you dont have sylveon in your dex either
pseudo goblet
There ya go 
mighty storm
wanna keep touch trading mons we missing?
mighty storm
I'll send a sylveon over, look for something jumping
we'll do 5 trade and tradebacks
random stream
Sylveon 
mighty storm
oh actually, my switch getting low on power. We can do it another day
pseudo goblet
This I guess
mighty storm
already canceled, woops xD
pseudo goblet
Oh okay
mighty storm
another day tho
mighty storm
I'll hatch this egg with pizza hut and call it a day, shouldnt take too long
err, Monthracite XD not pizza hut
pseudo goblet
And now I’m hungry lol
pseudo goblet
Btw, do I bump Into a tree to find Slakoth??
mighty storm
yeah
random stream
Zane maybe next randolocke you'll live
mighty storm
oh in case you are wondering, this is what mon Pizza Hut is
fading stratus
coallosal
pseudo goblet
Do I keep run into tree that might have Slakoth icon or what
pseudo goblet
Oh nice
mighty storm
and breed one
random stream
That sounds better
pseudo goblet
Oh… it involves worse version burgers, yeah I might try other method instead 
Like actually look into my games, now that Home works with scarlet
bleak pine
Yeah, Slakoth is pretty hard to find if you're just looking on the ground.
It only ever takes naps on trees in most cases.
So, keep looking up or have Koraidon/Miraidon headbutt those trees
pseudo goblet
Work my poor lizard hard enough as is already, might try egg instead
random stream
pseudo goblet
I have none
random stream
Yeah wo chien poopy the other three are really really good
mighty storm
fading stratus
wo chien isnt that bad
bleak pine
This is gonna sound stupid, but is having Growl as a move to use in Double Battles actually a good idea... sometimes?
fading stratus
yes actually
bleak pine
It only lowers the attack of mons by one stage, but it hits all opponents.
fading stratus
that's why howl is really popular
bleak pine
Like yeah I'd never use it over Charm in a single battle
fading stratus
it +1s but does to both
bleak pine
But in double battles I have to admit it does have a use, as miniscule as it seems
fading stratus
it's okay
bleak pine
At least it gets it better than Play Nice lol
random stream
Fine but not as common as the other options
bleak pine
Aside from big flashy moves with less-than-perfect accuracy I have to admit I am a sucker for tech moves, stuff that lowers stats in spite of their low-ish power
Stuff like Mud-Slap, Breaking Swipe, Icy Wind, etc...
fading stratus
breaking swipe and icy wind really good in doubles
bleak pine
Yeah, only issue with Breaking Swipe is, it's got poor distribution currently.
Most anything that learns it isn't exactly the picture of durability.
fading stratus
roaring moon does use breaking swipe sometimes
bleak pine
Aw, jeez, and not Salamence? Boo.
fading stratus
haxorus can learn it but there are better moves
bleak pine
Having both that and the Intimidate ability would be too perfect
fading stratus
i'm thinking bax not hax but hax also learns it
bleak pine
Baxcalibur is kinda durable, but not by much, hmm
fading stratus
its decently bulky
pseudo goblet
What this icon mean?
random stream
it's fairly bulky but you want to leverage that huge attack stat
fading stratus
especially with AV
random stream
to clobber the opponent
bleak pine
Oh, that? It's there to indicate it knows moves from other games that will get changed up
So, if you move it from sword/Shield to Scarlet/Violet, it's moves will be changed up when it arrives
But the moveset it has in Sword/Shield will persist if brought back.
fading stratus
it's fairly bulky but you want to leverage that huge attack stat
yeah you just partner it with arcanine then howl and roll everyone with +1 glaive rush or ground tera eq
bleak pine
Yeah, Baxcalibur has just megahuge attack
Which is weird, given it's based on Godzilla more or less.
pseudo goblet
But the moveset it has in Sword/Shield will persist if brought back.
So nothing changes, okay then
bleak pine
You'd think they'd go in on the Sp.Atk, given Godzilla's most iconic thing was it's atomic breath
random stream
I like how they went w it
bleak pine
But then again, it's also known for using said breath to propel itself on it's backside
Which I guess is what Glaive Rush does too
mighty storm
Trivia Question: What is the highest level pokemon you can catch in the wild
bleak pine
Yeah, Baxcalibur probably is the best dragon-type 600 bst beatstick so far
...Just, I wish they'd make anything but a dragon-type next time
Magikarp
fading stratus
is it 100
mighty storm
correct, at level 100
bleak pine
There's a level 100 one you can fish up in the Resort Area in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
mighty storm
Yep
bleak pine
It's so stupid, and I love that tidbit
bleak pine
You technically can find level 100 mons through DexNav, but honestly, you might end up breaking the streak long before you even get to a reasonable level.
Assuming there's no cap on how high the levels can climb
pseudo goblet
Oh, apparently HOME gave me a free Quaxly, WELL THAT WOULDVE BEEN USEFUL!!!
pseudo goblet
What this icon mean?
Alright, moving these let’s me have 341 dex rn, gotta write a list to actually move all missing Pokémon I need

Oh boy… and I intentionally miss some mon cause I just catch it in Scarlet, like Passimian

Did you get summer's sylveon?
pseudo goblet
Nah she needed to charge switch
Switching to Palafin would be a big help lmao
Srsly whose fucking idea to give it evo method this hard…
random stream
pseudo goblet
Time to move my Pokémon, cause work is so unfair and I’m doing this the easy way and not the ‘intended’ way 🙂
sleek sky
Oh boy… and I intentionally miss some mon cause I just catch it in Scarlet, like...
Are you on Viilet?
sleek sky
Pass is the Violet exclusive ye

So are the Mismagius and Clawncher lines
sleek sky
CATCH
Treasures of Ruin

Passimian
Gulpin/Swalot
Misdreavus/Mismagius
Iron Treads
Iron Hands
Iron Moth

Iron Valiant
Miraidon

Slowking
Scizor
This is my list
sleek sky
Got some of the violet exclusives by lucky Surprise Trade
pseudo goblet
Gonna need to check my Legend save file to see anything I can get, Misdreavus line maybe
Apparently I don’t have any Slakoth in any of my games 🤦♂️
sleek sky
I got my Slakoth by breeding a Slaking
pseudo goblet
Gonna do that when I have the time, and learning the new breeding method Later
sleek sky
Breeding in SV is pretty easy
fading stratus
you go on a picnic and your mons go on a picnic too
sleek sky
You can just AFK for a few minutes
Even faster if you eat something with Egg Power
And there's plenty of restaurants that offer Egg Power
The most annoying part is manipulating your party since you need to limit your party to the correct parents
vagrant steppe
Does the trade code thing not work anymore?
There's usually people who will trade version exclusives if you plug in the trade code of Pokedex number-pokedex number
sleek sky
I tried it a couple times
Couldn't find a link
Maybe I'll try again tonight
Probably just fewer people using it
pseudo goblet
List look like this now, some I still need like evolve a Sandile
Dex at 355 now
Oh wait I forgot to move the last batch from HOME
Okay it’s 364 now
36 left
bleak pine
Yeah, it's weird, it doesn't require any obtuse sort of soultions to even encounter now
It's rare, but you'll likely find it in some ruins way up north
sleek sky
I went to the ruins south of the ice gym
pseudo goblet
Done for now, need to finish up Master EX chores before sleep
sleek sky
Hmm
Do I attempt to do more surprise trades
Or do I continue my Sword playthrough
sleek sky
the Misdreavus line is not in Sword
and the Clawncher line is in the Isle of Armor
absolutely tragic
bleak pine
I just realised this was posted here a long time ago
why was I not pinged for this
It does look neat!
sleek sky
awake check
anyone available to do temporary trades now or later tonight?
bleak pine
Oh! Well, I can do it now too!
Just give me a sec. What kinda mons are you looking for?
sleek sky
Oh lol
I thought you were ready now and maybe later
If you're busy we can probably try later
bleak pine
Nah, it's fine, I got time too
sleek sky
I think the big ones I care about are
Miraidon
The future paradox mons
Palafin
Slowking and Scizor
bleak pine
I can certainly do that.
I got Palafin, as well as Slowking and those other paradoxical stuff
...I do believe I can make-do by invoking a trade evolution for Scyther, if that's fine
sleek sky
Big thank
Do you have the misdreavus line and clawncher line too?
bleak pine
Yep!
sleek sky
...I do believe I can make-do by invoking a trade evolution for Scyther, if that...
Ye that's fine
bleak pine
Alright, gonna connect, just set up the room while I prepare
sleek sky
Lemme see if I have a metal coat in my bag
I'll trade you a scythe of mine and you can give the scizor back
bleak pine
Nah, I'm willing to drop my own Scyther. No need!
Unless you want this to be under your OT, then yeah, we can do it your way
bleak pine
Righto, that'll work
bleak pine
As for Paradox stuff goes, I'm willing to let go of Iron Hands and Iron Jugulis
Doesn't seem I got any others on me
So, should be around 7 or so trades
sleek sky
I already have a Jugulus
bleak pine
Ah, righto
sleek sky
Got one from a surprise trade
bleak pine
Oh wow, that's nice
sleek sky
I'll borrow the hands, though
bleak pine
Righto
I mean, you can keep it, I know how popular it is in Tera Raid battles. But only if you want to.
sleek sky
1228 9877
bleak pine
Righto, will connect
sleek sky
Did a Link Trade room
bleak pine
Alright, connecting!
First off, Slowking
Doing these by order in the box I set up
Cause my storage is a right chaotic mess
I'm the worst at organization
sleek sky
K
I'll actually be trading you a slowpoke with the kings rock
Just trade it right back
sleek sky
You can trade the scizor right back
bleak pine
Yep!
sleek sky
Idly, is there anything missing from your dex?
bleak pine
Nah, I already got all 400 filled out
Might be missing some in actual ownership, but that's fine for me
Oh yeah your Scizor just learned Bullet Punch
Just, thought to let you know
Next up, Mismagius
You can keep Mismagius if you wish to get an egg with Misdreavus in it
sleek sky
Anything you want in particular? I don't got much but I can look for something
bleak pine
Nah, I'm good. Helping you out is reward enough.
sleek sky
I have a surplus of blaze tauros and great tusks lol
mighty storm
Booting up shining pearl to see if I can get an easier gulpin
bleak pine
Gulpin's nice
mighty storm
cuz need it and swalot for the dex
bleak pine
Jeez, mons from Hoenn are just the coolest
sleek sky
Can you breed paradox pokemon
mighty storm
you cant
bleak pine
Doesn't seem so.
mighty storm
they legendary
bleak pine
Alright, lastly, Iron Hands!
mighty storm
fun fact, as a kid I thought rotom was a legendary
bleak pine
I think they're just in the boat with Rotom in being unique.
Kinda like how Ultra Beasts are their own thing
Alllrighty, that's the last of em I think
sleek sky
Do you have a Passimian?
sleek sky
Ahh, so you probably don't have thr extra Miraidon
sleek sky
Passimian and the Gulpin line are probably the last two I'd ask for
I tried that for the starters
Didn't find anyone
bleak pine
This here is something of a list of trade codes for specific mons
...I dunno if it still works though, been awhile since I read it.
mighty storm
bleak pine
You can thank Yoz for this list
Aside from Passimian I might not have much else
Oh right, Gulpin. I'll look for one of those
sleek sky
Do you have a kingambit? I'll trade it right back
Also do you want the passimian back?
bleak pine
Nah, you can keep Passimian. I'll probably port one back from HOME if I do miss one
I do in fact have a Swalot and Kingambit
Here's a Swalot with a weird-arse German name
Schlukwech
I probably ought to ask UNOven what this means
Got this Kingambit from a Tera Raid battle, so it's no loss for me trading it away
Alllright, anything else?
mighty storm
ok no gulpins in the daily marsh
bleak pine
Oh right, the Great Marsh, I forgot that existed
sleek sky
The only ones would be the Future Padadox mons and Miraidon
You sure you don't want the Kingambit back?
sleek sky
That's okay
You've already been a big help
sleek sky
No problem
Maybe you can watch my Finizen evolve another time
mighty storm
wait, where do I find flabebe?
bleak pine
You usually find them near flowers out in Paldea
The area you find them in usually determines the flower color
sleek sky
They're common near the fairy base up north
mighty storm
cuz I keep finding floette's and the third one
bleak pine
So like, for example, South Paldea has red Flabebe
bleak pine
They're really friggin' tiny, so I wouldn't be surprised if you can't see them
sleek sky
The first one... I think they're moreso in the earlier areas?
bleak pine
And yeah, they're way more common up north, near the Ruchbah's base
sleek sky
I think I bred for the Flabebe, personally
bleak pine
Just find some bed of flowers and you'll usually see them
If you want you can try making a sandwich that increases the spawn rate of fairy-types
mighty storm
ok says they are on the island near electric lady
oh day spawn probably
@bleak pine can you just keep trading me stuff I need?
mighty storm
dont wanna go through dex, just trade anything jumping (Minus legendaries) and I'll keep trading back the last sent mon
bleak pine
Ahhh, ok
mighty storm
71571526 is link code
bleak pine
Oh, that's what it meant
mighty storm
yeah
bleak pine
I figured there was something unusual when they hopped
Let's see!
Well, I think I can begin with Cacturn
yaaaa applin
sleek sky
if it jumps in the box, it means I dont have it
wait is that a thing
bleak pine
I do in fact have a Flabebe
mighty storm
yep
bleak pine
I think the Orange flower ones are the rarest, but I could be wrong
I know of one area where white-flower Flabebe are ridiculously common.
And those usually are the rarest.
mighty storm
funny enough, dont even need moth 😄 I caught one, I just dont have the prevo
bleak pine
So nice to finally see Venonat again.
It's been way too long since it featured... anywhere.
mighty storm
I'll be honest, didnt even know eiscue was in gen 9
mighty storm
k
bleak pine
I love how Grusha's ace in the hole is just an Altaria
Y'know I do appreciate the tidbit on mons hopping in your box means it's something your trade partner doesn't have registered yet.
Makes it much easier to find them
bleak pine
Yeah, it looks amazing in this game
Well, Meta didn't need Jugulis, so I might as well let trade it so you can register it.
mighty storm
true
bleak pine
Man, I'm gonna miss the lotto-ID stuff
I get why it was removed, but there was a good bit of incentive to trading with it
mighty storm
alright after slow king lets take a break
bleak pine
Oki!
I had a Rare Candy attached to Slowking. Whoops.
But it's fine, you can take it off and keep it.
mighty storm
❤️
mighty storm
alright, and that brings me up to 347 of the dex
bleak pine
Nice
mighty storm
oh found an easy extra entry in my box
bleak pine
Oooh?
mighty storm
Gummy bear about to eat some candy
mighty storm
Ah, thats where my master ball was, I forgot I gave it to gummy bear for safe keeping
mighty storm
I actually have 2, one is a shiny ursaluna already
bleak pine
Ah, cool
But on the bright side, they are very hard to miss
Compared to very subtle shiny colorations
bleak pine
the goodest of boi's
mighty storm
oh huh, I dont have girafarig's evo, well thats an easy one
sleek sky
They're in Area Zero if you don't wanna level a Girafarig up
mighty storm
yup
didnt see it's evo, but caught one on area zero and just quickly evolved it
350 down, 50 to go
This Slowpoke straight up teleported then tried running away 
but caught for last of the slowpoke line I needed
female snorunt Im going after you now
sleek sky
there are wild Froslass
mighty storm
where
mighty storm
also wild snorunt in PLA, found a female one quickly
mighty storm
363 done
bleak pine
This feels pretty spot-on.
At the same time wow I need better sleeping habits.
Never knew Charmander is kinda nocturnal though.
mighty storm
❤️
mighty storm
So yeah I need to go on sword and transfer over a hatterene
Trans flag colors 
(need whole evolution line for dex reasons)
fading stratus
@sharp kernel this team won a online tour
bleak pine
Ayyyyy Gastrodon
Sea Snail takes it
Pretty cool seeing Kingambit be featured too
...Y'know I like Kingambit, but is there still incentive to have Bisharp around?
fading stratus
I mean edu literally won last world's with gastrodon so not really a bad mon
random stream
Not really no unless in a lower tier
bleak pine
Even with the new evolution Bisharp still seems like it can put in a lot of work
Defiant's still defiant and it has beeg atk
Plus I can think of some silly evolite shenanigans, but that's better left to other mons
fading stratus
There's like no reason to play Bisharp over Kingambit now
Kingambit kinda really good
bleak pine
Why not both?
random stream
If it's in a format where kingambit isn't legal like a lower smog tier you can
otherwise dont bother
bleak pine
Aw, boo
fading stratus
Defiant really good in doubles especially tho
since stiff like intimidate is common
bleak pine
I can imagine in a double environment, having both Bisharp and Kingambit could be doable, despite the whole outclassed situation.
But by that point you're really opening yourself up to some massive weakness issues
All it takes is like, I guess Breloom busting in to end your whole career.
fading stratus
Breloom isn't really that common
huge flutter weakness and amoongus is better spore user
Reason Brute Bonnet isn't used either
bleak pine
Oh, yeah, Breloom likely doesn't have most the tools that made it notorious, doesn't it
I think that is the same issue Chansey is having rn, isn't it?
fading stratus
Problem with chansey in doubles is it's not proactive at all so your opponents can ignore it and target its partner
bleak pine
Also that
mighty storm
oh yeah needed sinestea and it was right in front of me when I booted up sword
bleak pine
Single and Double battles aren't very kind to Breloom and Chansey, I just realized
Breloom kinda needs to go on the offensive and Spore is just there to get things moving
Whereas you can really stick in there way longer with Amoongus.
random stream
mighty storm
just beat a 6 star fighting pincurchin raid 😄

Iirc Salazzle being fire this year was extremely relevant
Also Gen 7 was a relatively slow speed Gen wasn’t it

I mean not really?
Koko with 130 speed was on majourity teams
also i dont see how being fire was great when groudon and kyogre were on every team
and offensively fire hit like kartana and mega metagross only
placid junco
A lot of the native stuff was either really fast or really slow with not much 8n between
mighty storm
you probably can
getting to the real good stuff to, violet paradoxes and the rest of the Treasures of Ruin
random stream
I mean not really?
Alola was lethargic AF
mighty storm
and some other stuff
fading stratus
well it was a format where restricted and megas were allowed
fading stratus
also mythicals are never legal
and even if the format was a bit "slower" the overall format was kinda fast as in the damage output was massive with stuff like ultra necrozma and mega rayquaza or geomancy xerneas

Gen 1 was when my opinion of vgc was lowest

85 would have been a solid scarf candidate iirc
fading stratus
it still is rn

Eh, what’s annihilape’s speed
sharp kernel
And you’re only ever running scarf on annihilape for final gambit shenanigans
So after that the next scarf user would be uh
fading stratus
Kleavor
sharp kernel
I mean pre reg D
fading stratus
pre reg tatsu with 82
sharp kernel
Also, wouldn’t safety goggles just be better on Kleavor? Maybe even covert cloak
Right, I forgot about Tatsugiri: the dream destroyer
fading stratus
imo you probably run scarf or AV in kleavor or sash
sharp kernel
AV/scarf limit your utility would be my worry
And I think Kleavor is actually positioned well to provide utility while being an offensive threat
fading stratus
it already has enough atk
AV provides it decent bulk
also thugs 87 speed tusk actually
the primary scarf user

Magearna is hyper broke in Singles Boltz

it has like a bunch of sets that play differently and you have no reliable way to scout for it and a lot of the times if you guess the set wrong, you lose
fading stratus

pseudo goblet
Alright, I really need to sleep, fricking 4:20 am 🫠
mighty storm

pseudo goblet
Seeing if I can get Iron Valiant for my baby moth lmao
mighty storm

silver vigil

mighty storm
fading stratus

mighty storm
yeah but hey at least I dont have to do something that ridiculous 😄 I only have 2 mons left to catch @fading stratus
bleak pine
the boy
mighty storm
fading stratus
ohhhhh chien
mighty storm
Unlike chi-yu (who I caught a LONG time ago cuz one of the coolest small legendaries ever) I saved the rest of the ruin pokemon to act as the final gate to my shiny charm.
sleek sky
Up to six badges in Sword
warm sky
fading stratus
this is good
outer eagle
Inb4 they hardcode Slow Start to be unaffected by Neutralizing Gas in gen 10 
fading stratus
even with neutralizing gas regigigas just isn't worth
maiden flax
yeah
outer eagle
Even without Slow Start in general Regigigas still isn’t all that impressive, especially compared to its “supposedly” Uber peers
fading stratus
110 defenses and 160 atk kinda neat
outer eagle
It’s ok
But you aren’t spending your Restricted slot on Gigas ever
And in Singles it’s w/e
maiden flax
We should get an older legends game where gigas isnt old and decrepit like he was in legends arceus
fading stratus
outer eagle
Gigas really do be a Normal type without Fake Out
fading stratus
I could honestly see gigas be used for the restricted slot tho
probably in balance teams
if it didn't have slow start
outer eagle
It lacks the utility that Balance wants imo
Compared to something like idk, base Arceus
fading stratus
well arceus is a mythical
outer eagle
Forgot about that
fading stratus
if it wasn't Normal Tera E speed Arceus probably would be hilarious in hyperoffense
outer eagle
Nice to see that E Killer Arceus is universal across all formats
fading stratus
chien pao would probably make it ohko everything in the format so understandable
outer eagle
In Singles you just SD then spam ESpeed
Cuz Arceus has 120 in every defensive stat and Recover
fading stratus
what do you run? life orb \
fading stratus
silk scarf would make sense, yeah
you'd probably run covert cloak or clear amulet in doubles
