Pokemon

[bleak pine]

But they better not sit on my keyboard

[waxen moat]

Yep this is me all the way down to the autism

[bleak pine]

I can imagine Espurr being very pattable

[pseudo goblet]

While staring at you 👀

[bleak pine]

Stare back at it

It's a challenge, clearly.

Don't give up

[waxen moat]

[bleak pine]

Espurr and Slowpoke would just be the best pair

[pseudo goblet]

Oh god

[harsh path]

Espurr has seen Gabriel blowing his trumpet

The End Times are nigh

[fading stratus]

won't complain with meowscarada

[long stone]

ah yes ||bdsp for gen 5|| time for them to ruin that shit.

[mighty storm]

could be ||Pokemon Legends Kyurem||

[long stone]

i hope not. i don't want my dragons to ugly forms like dialga and palkia

[mighty storm]

forms plural? 🙂

[long stone]

||what makes you think it's not gonna be white kyurem and black kyurem but more weird||

||whatever it is. it's gonna be worst than black/white 2... especially if it's a remake of the original not the sequel||

||True Kyurem and Ideal Kyurem, watch and see||

[mighty storm]

||I think its gonna just be one fusion of all 3, something like Perfect Kyurem||

[long stone]

||nah no way they gonna do a 3 way fusion. if ultra sun and moon didn't do it||

||then again arceus didn't get shit in his own game so... for all we know it's reshiram and zekrom getting froms||

[mighty storm]

||Arceus had the OP plate that let it auto SE with judgement in PLA. ||

[long stone]

||sure but it was not a new form or anything. it was just an item||

[mighty storm]

||so maybe original dragon in PLK, but only for that game? Idk but Im excited to see what they do with gen 5||

Or

||They fuse Reshiram and Zekrom, and it counts as a form for those 2 not Kyurem. ||

||especially considering since kyurem got the original forms, hence why white kyurem and black kyurem. ||

[fading stratus]

||We'll probably get the original dragon if it's legends Kyurem or sth||

[pseudo goblet]

Maybe hot take, Kyurem fusion is uglier then Palkia Dialga Origin form

[long stone]

you ain't a fan of odd-eyes ain't ya

[pseudo goblet]

Actually that’s my first deck I bought lmao

[long stone]

well odd-eyes and kyurem are the same thing

Same concept pretty much

[pseudo goblet]

Doesn’t really change my opinion

[long stone]

weirdly underdeveloped dragon that used to be a part of something bigger but now fuses with its other halfs haphazardly

At least it makes sense unlike palkia having a torso with a child with no arms

[pseudo goblet]

Okay fine let me put it this way, I prefer the 3 dragons DESIGNS ‘separate’, two of them combine I don’t like that

Which is why I’m still waiting for the Great-Xros three dragon combination

[crimson moat]

Nah Palkia Origin is ugly as hell, despite gen 5 box legends in general not being much to write home about

Base Reshi is the best they have and it’s still eh

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah, they aren’t the best looking Pokémon we have, I’m just saying I prefer their design over Kyurem fusions

[crimson moat]

Reshiram
Black Kyurem
Zekrom
Kyurem
White Kyurem

Ordered

[mighty storm]

White Kyurem is cool, black Kyurem just looks like a giant battery

[outer eagle]

Personally, gen 5 box art legends are fine aesthetically. Not bad, but not amazing either.

[mighty storm]

https://static.pokemonpets.com/images/monsters-images-800-800/4070-Kyurem-White.webp

the fluffyness carries the design

[outer eagle]

Reshiram
Zekrom
Kyurem-W
Kyurem-B

Tis would be my order from best to worst

[pseudo goblet]

Think this is my order as well, Base Kyurem in the middle

[mighty storm]

https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/img/pokedex/full/646_f3.png

ugly

[fading stratus]

base kyurem at bottom

[outer eagle]

Oh if base Kyurem is included

[mighty storm]

base kyurem is cool

[outer eagle]

It would be at the bottom for me as well

Dude looks like he can’t stand up straight for more than 5 seconds

[pseudo goblet]

Switching topic, kinda

Same thing we doing but for SM-USUM box legendaries

[outer eagle]

What were USUM’s box arts

The 2 middle Necrozma forms?

[pseudo goblet]

Lunala easily top for everyone I bet

[pseudo goblet]

Basically the bat, the lion and every necrozma

[fading stratus]

1. Dawn Wings
2. Lunala
3. Solgaleo
4. Dusk Mane
5. Ultra Neckrozma
6. Regular Neckrozma

[outer eagle]

Necrozma-DM
Ultra Necrozma
Lunala = Solgaleo = Necrozma-DW
Necrozma

I simply love Steel types and my opinion is somewhat influenced by competitive as well

[fading stratus]

Lunala is a lot better tho

Shadow Shield + TR bonkers

[outer eagle]

In singles

Necrozma DM is king in Singles

[fading stratus]

I think Lunala got second last year as well

[outer eagle]

Lunala is def better than Solgaleo, but that’s where my Steel type bias comes in

I haven’t been following VGC for that long tbw. Most of my comp streak was in Singles.

The other factor is nuzlockes i guess

[fading stratus]

Fair

[pseudo goblet]

Staying away from competitive 🙂

[fading stratus]

I think the best solgaleo has ever done is t32 at worlds

[outer eagle]

Lunala, and by extension Dawn Wings, suck in randomizer nuzlockes

[fading stratus]

dusk mane is a lot better atleast in vgc

[outer eagle]

Dudes randomly getting ohko by Thief

[fading stratus]

I mean shadow shield so probably not

[outer eagle]

Randomizer

So no Shadow Shield for me

[pseudo goblet]

Slow start Lunala lol

[fading stratus]

LMAO

I don't even play legendaries in nuzlocke so whatever

[outer eagle]

Recently i have been disallowing legendaries

Back in 2017-2019 tho everything was fair play (partly because i needed all the help i could get going into Ultra Necrozma)

[fading stratus]

still you can just toxic stall or perish trap for the most part anyway

[outer eagle]

If i had access to those that is

[pseudo goblet]

Randomizer

[fading stratus]

you should get atleast one unless you get like omega unlucky

[outer eagle]

At least i always do have the ability to guarantee a Focus Sash

It’s not about it being unlikely in theory

It’s more unlikely in practice cause i’m not leveling up my 40 pokemon in my boxes just to check if they learn Toxic

[fading stratus]

The reason I allow candies in nuzlocke

[outer eagle]

Also doesn’t help that the gen 7 move relearner was placed right at the Elite Four for some reason

And that Relearner was actually useful cause he can relearn even future moves

[fading stratus]

SM/USUM is probably games I played the least

so I forgot most of the details

I generally play gen 3 - gen 5 games a lot because 3ds in phone is weird when i mostlly play on emulators

[outer eagle]

I divide my nuzlocke options into 3 categories: pre-Split, DS era, and 3DS era

Emerald, BW2, and USUM are the representatives of each era that i replay the most

[fading stratus]

I play like FRLG, Platinum and BW2

[outer eagle]

There are some clear advantages and disadvantages to each of the listed 3 that might change my considerations
Emerald is extremely fast, easy to play, but lacks the split, and has low qol due to consumable TM, and no accessible tutors
BW2 is still relatively fast, has decent qol features, and has the easiest grinding
USUM has the best qol options, but it’s extremely slow to emulate

[fading stratus]

I just play frlg over emerald because I like the graphics more

[outer eagle]

FRLG was my first ever Pokemon game

[fading stratus]

same

[outer eagle]

ignore that it was a fake catridge and wouldn’t save

In that regard, Ruby was my actual first game

Then Emerald

[fading stratus]

I think mine was like fr then crystal then sapphire

I played Crystal because I think a friend of mine supposedly got me a street fighter game(hacked ofc) but it just turned out to be crystal

[harsh path]

BW2 also just has the best rival theme ever

[outer eagle]

I prefer Gladion’s theme over Hugh’s

But Hugh’s theme is definitely pretty great

[harsh path]

Also as easy as it is to say in hindsight

[fading stratus]

Hugh is also atleast better than BW rivals

[outer eagle]

I mean, i didn’t really dislike BW rivals

[harsh path]

The hatred of Gen 5’s designs, some of them, was a bit much

[outer eagle]

At least, nowhere near as much as XY’s

[harsh path]

It’s cool that Cheren and Bianca are living their best lives in BW2 though

[outer eagle]

I dislike Hau, but i love Gladion

And i absolutely despise Barry

[fading stratus]

only thing I remember about XY rivals is the bridge scene always takes one of my mons

[outer eagle]

The bridge battles in XY aren’t bad if you’re using a regular run

If you’re like me and enabled the option to make every important trainer have 6 mons

Then you’re gonna have a problem

[fading stratus]

Talking about rivals are hugh and blue the only main rivals that "succeed" in their quest during the game

[outer eagle]

Depends on how you look at it ig

Gladion got what he wanted

Hau didn’t exactly want a lot so not like he failed either

XY’s rivals barely had any motivation related to battling

Calem/Serena had that but they never managed to beat us

Silver and Barry failed their initial goal ig

[fading stratus]

Hau is just alolan version of Hop

[mighty storm]

Lions on top
necrozma (base and ultra burst) middle
bats on bottoms

[ashen barn]

Started a randomized white nuzlocke

Pokemon, items and abilities all randomized. In addition to that,
Set mode
Faint=dead
No item in battle
1 mon per route
No overleveling past the ace of the next gym or past the best mon of the elite 4
If I lose, reset

This will be awful, I have wonder guard around AND random abilities.

[fading stratus]

that sounds like regular nuzlocke rules

[ashen barn]

Yeah, just that even items are randomized

So you know the HMs?

YEEEEEEEEAAAAH

They are still there, but in other routes and locations

[fading stratus]

depends what type of randomiser you use

[ashen barn]

Oh, I just clicked on the universal randomizer

On items, you can shuffle items but keep them in same area

[fading stratus]

universal randomiser doesn't randomise hms afaik

[ashen barn]

Let's hope it doesn't

I don't want to spend an eternity looking for them

[outer eagle]

wouldn't make sense to randomize HM locations due to them being needed for progression in order

[fading stratus]

you'd probably randomise hm compatibility if you randomise them

[ashen barn]

1st encounter vs 2nd

it's definitely going well

[fading stratus]

I mean gible is a decent encounter

[ashen barn]

I can't catch iiiit

Route 1 encounter

[outer eagle]

neither of those are bad tbh

[ashen barn]

Tynamo is speed boost

[fading stratus]

elecktross without levitate kinda weird

[outer eagle]

Eelektross is a decent mixed attacker
Chomp is strong ofc but the evolution level is kinda high

[fading stratus]

also i kinda don't like anything with 4x weakness in randomisers

[ashen barn]

It's still garchomp

It's great without an ability, let alone a decent one

[outer eagle]

yeah quad weaknesses in randomizers can be risky

[ashen barn]

I mean

My starter is a roggenrola

[outer eagle]

Gigalith is very good for in-game

high bulk, high attack

[ashen barn]

Hydration roggenrola

[outer eagle]

has no quad weakness

[ashen barn]

Strange but definitely usable

[outer eagle]

the one thing Gible has that makes it worth using early game is Dragon Rage

[fading stratus]

does have a lot of common weaknesses tho but its bulky enough to shrug a hit or two anyway

[outer eagle]

assuming the moveset is not randomized

[ashen barn]

It's not

[fading stratus]

then dragon rage is bonkers, yeah

[ashen barn]

Tell me about it

Attempt 2 died to a deino spamming dragon rage at the 1st gym

[fading stratus]

dragon rage should solo anything below lv18-20ish

[outer eagle]

Dragon Rage is safe up until around level 15

[ashen barn]

Well, 1st gym would have gone down without a hitch

Unlike attempt 2

[outer eagle]

Once that point is reached i tend to avoid switching 1st stage evos in even with DRage

[fading stratus]

best thing about dragons in nuzlocke is honestly the coverage

[ashen barn]

Right now my team is super weak to ground

[outer eagle]

That do be how early game goes

[ashen barn]

N has a numel

[fading stratus]

It's the attempt with roggenrola right?

[ashen barn]

Yeah

And tynamo without levitate

If this thing has a single ground move I decease

[fading stratus]

roggenrola is honestly very decent early game
it has very decent atk stat and learns like headbutt and rock blast within lv 14-15

[outer eagle]

Numel is not too strong tbh

[ashen barn]

Headbutt lv10

[outer eagle]

Unless it gets like Magnitude 8+ you’re probably living

[ashen barn]

Magnitude 3

Into tackle crit

[fading stratus]

magnitude 8+ has like 35% chance to occur anyway so the odds are massively in your favour

[ashen barn]

Won

[fading stratus]

magnitude 3 doesn't even exist right? now i think about it

[outer eagle]

3 does exist

[ashen barn]

It does, apparently

[outer eagle]

But 1 and 2? Idk

[fading stratus]

I always remembered magnitude with 5 10 20 30 20 10 5 which is only 7 so 3 shouldn't have existed unless i'm misremembering

[ashen barn]

Venipede with forewarn as next encounter

[outer eagle]

Scolipede is pretty pog

[fading stratus]

it's okay

[outer eagle]

Nice speed, decent typing

[ashen barn]

Yeah, I am happy with this one

Also solves the grass issue

Ok, abilities got updated per species

I found another venipede randomly and had forewarn

[fading stratus]

forewarn isnt awful ig

[ashen barn]

I'd say it's good

Especially with random mons

[outer eagle]

If the moveset isn’t randomized it’s kinda mid

[ashen barn]

I'd gladly take this instead of slow start

[outer eagle]

that bar is underground

[ashen barn]

Attempt 3 had a rattata with that

[outer eagle]

well rattata is already underground tbw

[ashen barn]

Guts rattata isn't half bad

[outer eagle]

i suppose

[ashen barn]

At least for early game

[outer eagle]

but it falls into that weird spot where it's neither strong enough nor bulky enough for me

[fading stratus]

I like guts ratticate as long as you can pre poison it

[outer eagle]

raticate is fine

it has acceptable atk under Guts and ok speed

[ashen barn]

Well, here I found several venipede due to scaling

Bianca.

I have nothing able to take 1 dragon rage.

[outer eagle]

have to hope Gible outspeed ig

[fading stratus]

bagon doesn't even learn dragon rage

[ashen barn]

I 2-shot it anyway

Fastest tackle in the west from Tynamo

[fading stratus]

worst thing about tynamo is you won't use it after you have a team of 6

[ashen barn]

Most likely

For now, spark and thunder wave are god sends

[fading stratus]

tynamo doesn't learn any more moves by lv up btw

[outer eagle]

worst thing about Tynamo is how frail it is tbh

[fading stratus]

and evolves at around lv 40?

[outer eagle]

39

at least you can immediately ThunderStone it after but who knows if it even lasts til then

[ashen barn]

Luckily I have plenty of encounters now

[fading stratus]

you have around 40-45 total encounters in the whole game iirc

which isn't bad

[ashen barn]

And tynamo will be useful at least for now

Also, speed boost offsets a crucial downside of eeleektross

Speed.

[outer eagle]

does the ability carry over across evos

did you enable that option?

[ashen barn]

Yes, it does

ground types are a real issue

[outer eagle]

that would make things a lot easier to plan for at least

[ashen barn]

Biggest issue being...I have 3 types that all die to ground

[fading stratus]

what's the third

[ashen barn]

Bug poison, neutral

[outer eagle]

ground is one of the most powerful offensive types, so it can take a bit to patch up the weakness

[ashen barn]

But I can't really touch ground types

[fading stratus]

oh yeah venipede

[ashen barn]

And these trainers outright have cubone and larvitar

[outer eagle]

does Venipede have a Bug move?

[fading stratus]

you really need a flying type or a levitate mon

[ashen barn]

Not yet

[fading stratus]

venipede learns bug bite just before evolving

[ashen barn]

If I had bug moves or a flier it would be so much easier

[outer eagle]

flying is quite a common type so you should encounter one eventually

[ashen barn]

Route 1 had one

[outer eagle]

then again BW's early game is kinda known for its brutality

[ashen barn]

But I already had tynamo

I MEAN

[fading stratus]

normal gym moment

[ashen barn]

I asked for a little help, not a damn truck early game

[outer eagle]

Hitmontop is clutch

[fading stratus]

very good mon

[ashen barn]

I don't think the dreamyard has better yields anyway due to randomizer with scaling

[outer eagle]

are you locked into first encounter only? or can you choose any mon from the route?

[ashen barn]

1st only

[outer eagle]

ok

just avoid dark grass

that thing is a nightmare for captures

[ashen barn]

I know

-atk +def with multitype

[outer eagle]

which mon

[ashen barn]

Top

[outer eagle]

oh that's kinda sadge then

[ashen barn]

Not exactly the best

[fading stratus]

multitype isn't awful if you get the plates

[ashen barn]

But some help is better than no help

[fading stratus]

like ground plate eq hits like truck

[ashen barn]

Bold nature does hinder it a lot

-atk for a fighting type isn't great

Scaling at least sort of ensures fair fights

I HAD TO SAY IT

Drilbur inthe gym

Gym leader lineup was klink and numel

Top immediately paid off

Yeah, also gyms are randomized, so no real planning here

None of my mons can learn cut.
And I don't have encounters.

[outer eagle]

usually i just enable universal HM compatability in a randomizer nuzlocke for this exact scenario

[ashen barn]

Yeah, I didn't think of this

What if I like...reset? It's 1 hour of gameplay

[fading stratus]

i mean you can just catch an hm slave if you really want and not use it in battles

[ashen barn]

Yeah, better

And if I only have it left alive I lose

[mighty storm]

Oh no

people are taking this the wrong way, it's not XY remakes!

[kind vortex]

or people know what they're getting into

[ashen barn]

I feel that is definitely the case

Ok, now I hope to find an abra.
Trace. They get trace. That allows for some setup opportunities like no others

Cranidos and klang went down in no time at all

[ashen barn]

+atk - speed as well...ouch

I was so excited for this fella

[fading stratus]

hustle is the ability I hate the most in randomisers

[ashen barn]

And tynamo is really falling off by now

[ashen barn]

Well...route 4 encounter was marill. With tangled feet and a calm nature. Mons that rely on their abilities are almost unviable for this run as abilities are randomized.
But Cheren now has a speed boosting Golurk.

That alone is terrifying

[ashen barn]

EXCUSE ME, SINCE WHEN A RANDOM NPC GETS A DAMN COBALION?

I don't know what's worse
The fantastic nature and this ability or this mf's derp face

[ashen barn]

You guys remember that my team had a genuine ground weakness? Elesa had a sword dance excadrill. I couldn't do anything to stop its onslaught.

My best counter was basically stalling its digs out with protect whirlipede.
Nothing outspeeded or was remotely strong enough to even damage it.

[sand forge]

Does Normalized Toxic hit steel types

[fading stratus]

it does

but it doesn't hit ghosts tho which is sad

[ashen barn]

I lost that attempt anyway. Attempt 5 instead had me forget the level cap...I thought it was 15, not 14.
Attempt 6 just started. Starter was litwick, forced choice (dratini or rhyhorn the other 2, I couldn't get past the 1st battle otherwise)
Route 1 - TORNADUS.

[outer eagle]

welp that's one encounter lost

[fading stratus]

well you could get lucky and crit capture it you never know

[ashen barn]

I got it. Last pokeball.

Turns out lv2 tornadus can't really touch a litwick

So yeah, feeling good about this attempt

[outer eagle]

Caution is probably required until after beating Burgh

[ashen barn]

...even after that.

Attempt 4 died at Elesa

[fading stratus]

which tornadus btw

bird or genie

[ashen barn]

It's only genie, white 1

Not 2

[outer eagle]

what ability

[ashen barn]

Let me check

IT'S ALSO MODEST

Immunity as ability

[outer eagle]

that's ok

[ashen barn]

I mean, I will take it

[outer eagle]

Modest is great late-game but a lot of Torn's coverage early game is physical

[fading stratus]

Immunity is very decent

[ashen barn]

Yeah, if I get like gust I feel like it will be the main damage dealer

[outer eagle]

it's an ability that's better than nothing

[fading stratus]

gust will probably still be your best move ryu since the other move it learns is like bite and astonish i think

[ashen barn]

Don't remind me attempt 5 with truant chimchar

[outer eagle]

Revenge can be nice cuz Fighting coverage and all that

[ashen barn]

Well, I feel really good

2 mons, but already 3 immunities and 2 synergies

[fading stratus]

it needs lv 25 to get a decent flying move

[ashen barn]

Rip me I guess

[fading stratus]

43 for air slash apparently

[ashen barn]

Yeesh

Well, gust for the win until lv25, I have a feeling I will really ride on tornadus' stats

[outer eagle]

you can get Fly by the time you beat Elesa

[ashen barn]

That are way way higher than anything else early game

[outer eagle]

depends on if you get more fully evolved mons

[ashen barn]

Also, this thing has 23 and 25 ivs in attack and special attack

So who am I to complain?

[fading stratus]

tornadus probably sweeps through early game until like second gym

[ashen barn]

Good enough, by then I'll have more stuff

[outer eagle]

second gym is still early game boltz

[fading stratus]

second gym is infamous for giving the most trouble

[outer eagle]

it's a randomizer so who knows

[ashen barn]

Well, given that it's randomized...

[outer eagle]

personally for me the first gym is usually the biggest issue in a gen 5 randomizer run

[ashen barn]

Last time I faced Lenora she had Cranidos and Klang. Fierce until I got hitmontop in.

[ashen barn]

The gift mon is usually way better than the entire dreamyard, going by scaling

Because the gifts are randomized

[outer eagle]

seeing a Chandelure in the first 2 gyms is usually a death sentence for me

[ashen barn]

Oh, fully evolved won't be until lv36 max

[fading stratus]

is it not scaled rando?

[ashen barn]

The wild mons should be scaled, yes

[fading stratus]

what about gyms

[ashen barn]

They are scaled

They take the mons of the trainers and get another mon in a +50 or - 50 BST range

As far as I could tell

[outer eagle]

well if you enabled the option of replacing by similar strengths

then this shouldn't be an issue

i usually don't do that so that's why the early game is often my run ender

[ashen barn]

Hopefully I don't find an excadrill in the 4th gym like before

That was brutal

My 1 mistake, as this is a randomizer, was not knowing that shit had sword dance. I lead boldore. Didn't end well

[outer eagle]

well the lead was unpredictable no matter what

not like you could use Switch Mode to get out

[ashen barn]

Yeah

Sword dance on the switch, then dig and metal claw everything

[outer eagle]

usually for something like Boldore seeing that the mon has a low ability to switch in and be useful again given its speed or low special bulk, i'd have just stayed in, tanked a hit, and try to use Mud-Slap or something to eek out some utility

[ashen barn]

That thing absolutely mowed down my entire team, I didn't have enough power or speed to stop that pain train

[fading stratus]

In theory it shouldn't have swords dance that early unless you've randomised the movesets

[ashen barn]

It was in oneshot range. I then learned, thanks to the docs, that it was huge power.

[outer eagle]

oh if it's Huge Power Excadrill then nothing you do could have mattered

that do be rng sometimes

[ashen barn]

Yeah, not doing that anymore for a damn reason

I had the feeling it hit way too hard even on resists

[fading stratus]

that early it should have hone claw, fury swipes, metal claw and dig in regular randomiser

[outer eagle]

tbf

[ashen barn]

Metal claw and dig it had

[outer eagle]

Hone Claws would have been equally as bad

given Huge Power

[ashen barn]

Sword dance and rapid spin

That was the rest

[outer eagle]

Excadrill loves spinning so much that even in a casual playthrough it has the move

[ashen barn]

Fr

Attempt 5 had a truant chimchar and a volt absorb taillow

And died to my own mistakes. Lv15. Instead of 14.

[fading stratus]

I mean volt absorb taillow is very good

3 immunites in nuzlockes is godsend

[ashen barn]

For now, just by litwick and tornadus alone, 3 immunities

[outer eagle]

the problem with Taillow

is that it's a Taillow

[ashen barn]

Fragile af

Good yet fragile

[outer eagle]

getting the Eviolite in Castelia could maybe help patch up the bulk a little bit ig

[ashen barn]

I didn't even get there

Accidentally overleveled everything before 1st gym

Because I thought 15 was the level cap.

It was 14

[fading stratus]

even if its taillow its decent early game and it evolves at 22 so shouldn't have been bad

[outer eagle]

it's decent early game if you know what you're getting in for that's the issue

[ashen barn]

Attempt 1 some time ago was hilarious

Dratini as starter.
Togepi as opponent
Togepi used metronome.
Explosion.

[outer eagle]

you got outsped by Togepi?

[ashen barn]

Dratini only has wrap in the lv5 range

[outer eagle]

oh it's the rival battle i see

[ashen barn]

Hold up

I might need to reset the attempt

No way that with scaling for BST I find hippowdon route 2

That thing is way too strong

Yep, I think the randomizer didn't get the memo

[outer eagle]

maybe you didn't enable the option?

[ashen barn]

Most likely, I was using a pre-made option set

So I didn't check

Yep, similar strength wasn't checked

[mighty storm]

your candle is a planeswalker?

[ashen barn]

Oh, all my pokemons are named after yugioh cards or archetypes

[mighty storm]

oh, cuz chandra is the name of an MTG character

[ashen barn]

Chandra is short for chandraglier

[mighty storm]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mtgsalvation_gamepedia/images/6/65/Chandra-Bold-Pyromancer.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200808193735

[ashen barn]

Not enough characters

[mighty storm]

ah, I just thought of the MTG character because yours is a girl and fire type

[ashen barn]

Well, attempt 6.1 as attempt 6 didn't have scaling, go
Starters are chikorita, sandile, or caterpie. There's 1 correct choice here

[little D]

[jovial goblet]

Little D

Level: 3
[ Dinosaur / Normal ]

ATK 1100 / DEF 700

Effect

Yo, this tyrannosaurus tot's got a terrible temper.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[ashen barn]

Fitting name for sandile

[ashen barn]

I will defend this sandile with my life

Adamant speed boost sandile, ivs are a bit trash but you don't see me complaining

[reef cosmos]

who remembers ambipom was popular in early dpp meta?

because technician fake out actually hurts

it could also taunt i think

Xerneas > Yveltal

[ashen barn]

If I don't get something else for coverage this run dies to Bianca

Rivalry magby
Poison point nincada
Aftermath shelmet

And yes, abilities are kept through evolution.
So if anyone wonders about a broken shedinja, it will have poison point and 1 hp.

So far, we are at 6 official attempts and 4 unofficial ones (either scaling didn't work or bugs happened or no exp gain bug)

[ashen barn]

This run is looking less like a HC nuzlocke randomizer and more like dumpster diving.
Skitty, nincada, shelmet...something better?

This is how I die

[outer eagle]

well Nincada is neutral to Rock if that helps

[ashen barn]

Shelmet handled it

I don't know how I am going to handle anything tho

[outer eagle]

what's your next level cap?

[ashen barn]

20

[outer eagle]

can get Ninjask and Shedinja at least with that ig

[ashen barn]

Lenora is going to be brutal

[ashen barn]

Shedinja is useless

It keeps poison point.

[outer eagle]

hey if nothing else a sack is still a sack

[ashen barn]

Kind of

[outer eagle]

those are appreciated no matter what, i rarely even bring a full team of 6 good mons tbh

most of the times it's 5 good mons and 1 sack

[ashen barn]

It's really difficult to plan sacks in a randomizer

[outer eagle]

sacks are good exactly because it's a randomizer

it's because you don't know what you're up against that having something that can be sacked is powerful

[ashen barn]

Swoobat is dying to a chingling

Paralyzed, trapped by wrap, charmed

[outer eagle]

depends on how much damage Chingling does ig

[ashen barn]

Eh. Wrap alone + para and charm is doing enough

Thank goodness, assurance hit

I need new encounters and better encounters

[outer eagle]

there is a chance that Shedinja keeps Wonder Guard btw

[ashen barn]

There isn't
I banned it specifical5

Specifically

I don't use shedinja in playthroughs

Because wonder guard is a cheese machine

PINWHEEL ENCOUNTER.

I don't mind sacrificing half the team for this

And I noticed something very useful

Shaking grass encounters top everything else

Because the usual bst is higher

[ashen barn]

Lenora defeated with 2 sacks...skitty and shelmet

Given the quality of what I lost against her Zangoose, still good

Btw, sword dance slash and quick attack Zangoose

[ashen barn]

I just found the best mon to ability ever:
Chimchar, a fire type, with drizzle. Permanent rain. Yep, sounds fine

[fading stratus]

even if it's on chimchar i really wouldn't discount rain tbh

[ashen barn]

It wasn't my mon

But it sure made this npc a joke

[outer eagle]

reminds me of when i had a Drought Metagross

[ashen barn]

At least that's not actively detrimental to your fire stab

Funnily enough, Minccino has the same ability that it has in normal mode

Skill link

Double slap turning into decent damage

[ashen barn]

I hate how BW early game is literally 0 levels between gyms

You have 3 gyms in the span of 4 encounters and 7 levels

Coming full circle - Burgh's last mon

[outer eagle]

might do an ORAS HC randolocke

[fading stratus]

do a HC mono locke instead

like idk mono fite or mono bug or sth

[outer eagle]

i have slight ocd with overlapping typings tbh

can't imagine myself doing monotype any time soon

[fading stratus]

fair

do a locke where you can't catch another mon with overlapping typing at all

with hardcore rules

not even primary types just the whole types

[outer eagle]

eh i already self-enforce type diversity in my runs so idt it's necessary

capturing overlapping types is fine as long as i don't enter gyms with them

[fading stratus]

another run idea

run only using first half of dex

[outer eagle]

hard to combine that with a randomzier

[fading stratus]

why not regular locke

[outer eagle]

cuz i get bored really quickly if i know what's coming

[ashen barn]

Universal randomizer lets you keep some gens

OCTILLERY WITH MAGIC GUARD, THAT'S INCREDIBLE

[outer eagle]

it does but it's rng if the mons belonging to the correct dex section are in the early areas

worst comes to worst i might have to 1v3 just cuz of rng

[ashen barn]

Ninjask died yes, but I'd prefer this octillery to a stench ninjask

[outer eagle]

what's the fastest mon on your team

[ashen barn]

Rn?

Excadrill

[outer eagle]

still Exca?

[ashen barn]

Yeah, he's pretty good so far

[outer eagle]

that's ok ig

[ashen barn]

Just...reckless as ability

I don't think exca gets any recoil move

[outer eagle]

does it learn Double Edge

[ashen barn]

I think it does but way too late to matter

Rn hone claws, dig and slash+metal claw are more than enough

I also picked up a fairly useless bonsly and duskull, but what do you do

[outer eagle]

Eviolite Dusclops is probably good as an anchor

but that's still a while away

[ashen barn]

He sort of is

But I needed some resistances

And ghost immunities are good

[outer eagle]

even a support set of like Wisp, Sneak, Disable and Confuse Ray is probably functional

or just Night Shade honestly over Ray

[ashen barn]

Given how I will still have magby for the 3rd gym...yeah

I just picked up some encounters that just aren't it

But Paces, the magic guard octillery, is incredible and offsets a lot

Route 16 is a Chimecho, good one

[fading stratus]

so if you decide to do this you apparently have 64 species as your legal encounters which is a lot more than i expected

[outer eagle]

Starter is Adamant Nidoran (F) with Primordial Sea

Not ideal considering it has Sacred Fire and its weakness to Water once fully evolved

just need to get lucky and find an Ability Capsule along the way ig, which isn't unlikely

1st encounter is Relaxed Natural Cure Roggenrola, pretty good potential late game

[fading stratus]

is it regional dex or natdex

[outer eagle]

it's everything so natdex ig

oh and i excluded legendaries/mythicals cuz too much rng involved

[ashen barn]

Well, also moon stone

Adamant nidoran kinda needs that

[outer eagle]

there is an option to guarantee evol items in shops and i enabled that

so i'll get a Moon Stone eventually

Strong Jaw Modest Mega-Pinsir and Naughty Fennekin

will use these for now but they won't stay on the team for long due to the natures

[ashen barn]

Ok, cottonee as encounter in lostlorn forest, I have a fire water grass core

NEVERMIND

Minccino had to crit

It would have been fairly useful too

[outer eagle]

pre-gen6 crits

[ashen barn]

Bruh

Better than a 1st stage mon with like 200 bst

Also, I noticed that octillery has static, not magic guard

Me and reading

I am lucky chimecho at least has some sp atk ivs

And also gets a straight up support moveset naturally

[outer eagle]

Heal Bell and Yawn are ok ig

[ashen barn]

Plus the rest

OH MY GOD

Route 5
SHELGON

That's an encounter and a half

Given how I made final stages to evolve at 40

[outer eagle]

Shelgon by itself is already pretty decent with Eviolite

very tanky as well

Mence is great ofc

[ashen barn]

My eviolite target is duskull rn

[outer eagle]

[ashen barn]

It has static

[outer eagle]

since you enabled the evolution level changes, you should get Dusclops soon

[ashen barn]

And a quiet nature

+sp atk is ok, but - speed isn't

[outer eagle]

Quiet is neither beneficial nor realistically harmful for Dusclops

[ashen barn]

Yeah, all things considered

[outer eagle]

you have base 25 speed

not like going any lower makes a difference

[ashen barn]

Wait

Oh yeah

This thing has cinder blocks at its feet

[outer eagle]

the only thing it's faster than is Ferrothorn

and funny thing is, even after a negative nature it'll still outspeed Ferro

[ashen barn]

By being worse in literally anything else

Ferro is op even with slow start

That typing alone does a lot of heavy lifting

[mighty storm]

New code for SV: NATSUN0T0KKUN

[outer eagle]

steel types are just so valuable yeah

what does tokkun mean in jp again

[ashen barn]

Well, shelgon has 2 atk ivs
But 26 speed

And a naughty nature

I don't know how much magnet pull will be useful for it though

[mighty storm]

code gives sandwich stuff

[outer eagle]

Magnet Pull is good in the overworld

that's where the biggest mileage is

having a 50% chance to encounter a Steel type is vroken considering how amazing the type is

[ashen barn]

Yeah, I do have a steel type already

In excadrill

[outer eagle]

never hurts to have backup steel types tbh

[ashen barn]

But having static is also strong

[outer eagle]

especially since Exca is not that geared towards tanking

[ashen barn]

Electric types are historically pretty good

Tbh, if I don't find a grass type, the team could very well be a dragMag modified

Given how salamance has the tools to remove steels

Fire blast and flamethrower are still an option

[ashen barn]

FURTHEST ATTEMPT YET, ELESA DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCADRILL THIS TIME, BUT A FROSLASS

Never saw a more skewed matchup

[ashen barn]

Btw, this team will become a dragmag...Dratini found

[fading stratus]

weren't you on bw2 wtf

[outer eagle]

i was on ORAS

[fading stratus]

oh

[outer eagle]

[fading stratus]

I was half asleep then so probably misremembered

[outer eagle]

had to essentially do a 3v5 vs Roxanne cuz you overlevel so easily in ORAS

[fading stratus]

bane of permanent exp share

you have 6 encounters before roxanne right?

• your starter

[outer eagle]

8

including starter

[fading stratus]

what's your team like rn

[outer eagle]

Nidorina, Roggenrola, Whirlipede, Gourgeist, Psyduck

the 6th member is yet to be decided amongst the newly captured mons

tho i usually prefer my 6th mon to be a sack

[fading stratus]

you probably play a ground immunity in 6th

[outer eagle]

Gourgeist + a sack is probably enough to cover any ground weakness tbh

also i don't really have any good Flying type currently

[fading stratus]

ig gourgeist is decent

leech seed with okay defense

gourgeist is a physical attacker but best ghost stab it has is like shadow sneak until like the wally fite

[outer eagle]

it's a randomizer so its moveset is randomized

it has Petal Blizzard already

to cover Grounds

[mighty storm]

Code: THA12022CHAMP

Runs until August 18th 2023

[outer eagle]

holy shit Dewford's level cap is 16
my average level after beating Roxanne was 16

literally can't do a single thing without getting overleveled

[fading stratus]

thought it was 18

or did they reduce it in remakes

Holy it's 14-16-21 og was 15-18-23 \

you should have 3 encounters in dewford iirc tho

[outer eagle]

if i want to stretch my limits i can realistically get 6 encounters once i arrive at Dewford

[short heath]

Is it me or

Do modern pokemon have way too many signature moves and abilities

It just feels like each one is trying to out-gimmick one another

[outer eagle]

Certain mons having unique gimmicks is not a new phenomenon, but modern gimmicks are generally better and more relevant than older ones ig

[sleek sky]

I do think there are more cases where only a certain pokemon or evolutionary line gets a unique move or ability, at least for a generation

[crimson moat]

Your best bet is to itemize what was exclusive per gen to start with

Certain stuff that was exclusive to one in one gen also had chance of becoming more widespread in the generations after

ie. Muddy Water being exclusive to the Swampert line in gen 3

DP and HGSS added multiple lines each alone to Muddy Water access from learned move and breeding

this expanded out all the way to where gen 8 made it a TR

[golden lance]

Same ngl

I was looking at the list for signature moves the other day

And i could swear there was like

Half of gen 9's dex there

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/4/47/600px-373Salamence.png/revision/latest?cb=20161217190056

Salamence is such a beautiful dragon, I empathize with their struggle 😦

[golden lance]

Do you also practice flying by running off hills?

[harsh path]

I too shoot myself with lower calibers to boost my tolerance to higher calibers

[mighty storm]

No, but their struggle can be seen as a metaphor for dysphoria.

[harsh path]

The Bagon line definitely seems like a mood to trans people

[bleak pine]

YES

[harsh path]

Bagels or Bacon if you would love good ideas o Salamance nicknames

[bleak pine]

I just love Bagon's whole story

Literally grew wings because it had a dream to take off into the skies

[mighty storm]

Since Bagon gets distressed over not being able to fly, bagon it hides away in it's shell, and salamence is when it finally emerges as the dragon they always were inside

[bleak pine]

It helps that Shelgon is just pretty adorable for a 2nd stage

[golden lance]

Never really thought about it like that before

[bleak pine]

Definitely one of the more unique ones out there compared to say, Dragonair which is just Dratini but bigger

[golden lance]

Makes sense honestly

[bleak pine]

And Gabite, which is just Gible but it looks less like a potato

[golden lance]

And Orange™️

Oh wait you said nair

you probably invest a bit more speed to outspeed faster ursaluna and other hands too

also feel like swords dance bulkier set could also be something to look at

also close combat

but like at the end of the day it'll depend on what other mons you have in your team

like if i have other flutter checks i'd probably play volt switch over heavy slam

[pseudo goblet]

What’s up

G Morning

[mighty storm]

I need you to trade over an egg for me

[pseudo goblet]

Which Pokémon

[mighty storm]

egg is of a charmander

I have the egg already

[pseudo goblet]

So touch trade your charmander?

[mighty storm]

code is 72972911

[pseudo goblet]

Aight I’m connected

Sent

[mighty storm]

send any fodder

alright once this trade goes through I will switch files

[pseudo goblet]

Wait why?

[mighty storm]

so I can get the egg on my other file

oh wait

XD

Nintendo online right oops

[pseudo goblet]

Pfft

So failed?

[mighty storm]

well looks like I'll just transfer a zard and ditto to breed on my new file

yeah

keep the egg tho 😄

[pseudo goblet]

Sure

Checked my box and turns out I don’t have the lizard

Nvm I do 😅

[mighty storm]

cuz yeah I want to do a playthrough using charmander and some dlc mons once dlc is out

Imagine if the egg I gave you is shiny

[mighty storm]

cuz I do have shiny charm+masuda bred that charmander

[pseudo goblet]

I don’t

Doesn’t the egg shinyness also calculate when they hatch, so the less likely with me lol

[mighty storm]

I actually am not sure

double checked, its on receiving the egg

in other words, it used my odds for that egg

no SRing eggs

[pseudo goblet]

Really should catch the 4 ruins in my save file for that charm

[mighty storm]

and the paradox delibird

[pseudo goblet]

Oh they re in my HOME

[mighty storm]

nice

[pseudo goblet]

The paradoxes, they good

Actually summer, would you mind touch trade your 4 ruins with me for a min?

[mighty storm]

currently watching a lets play, sorry. Tomorrow for sure tho

[pseudo goblet]

Okay

[mighty storm]

actually

sure, I'll do it right now

code: 72972911

@pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

Sent

Salt

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Pfft, the name

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Can’t wait to see them

Aw, Tabby

God, what the snail name gonna be

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Pfft, sure

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

Quick ball for Turbo

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

[mighty storm]

Ruin Chonky, he got the stats for it

[pseudo goblet]

Mmhmm

[pseudo goblet]

and the ball

[mighty storm]

yup

[pseudo goblet]

Thx Summer

[mighty storm]

yw

so that was the last 4 you need? Nothing else left

[pseudo goblet]

This saved my time I have left this weekend lol

Should be yeah

[mighty storm]

Nice, get the final reward in the pokedex and then head to class ❤️

[pseudo goblet]

Finally opening my HOME to get robots and golden boy into my game lol

Pfft, the dex rewards forces into you the moment I clicked the full dex

Even tho it didn’t do that until I click the reward section

[mighty storm]

I still have yet to use a master ball in SV

[pseudo goblet]

Same

I really wished there’s a way to better safe keep these things

Hello ‘too precious to use’ me

There it is

God this man keeps comparing Shiny Charm to a junk

[mighty storm]

I imagine he has like a bunch in his pocket and has insane shiny luck

[pseudo goblet]

Imagine the first shiny I got with this thing failed lol

Heck I probably failed 2-3 of them already in this file

[mighty storm]

you should go for some shiny paradoxes

like moth friend

[pseudo goblet]

Probably

Btw

There should be a challenge/speedrun where people trying to get every single of these Congrats letter in every game lol

Like, just opening 3 gameboy, 6 DS and 2 switch to catch every Pokémon and complete the dex lmao

[ashen barn]

Gen 1 and 2 are easy

Gen 3 is no longer "Catch'em all" with version exclusives.
Gen 4 even worse, you have to get gen 3 to do that + events
Gen 5 same deal
Gen 6 is easier due to gts
Gen 7 is also doable, but you need gen 6+5+3

[sand forge]

Gen 1 had version exclusives?

[fading stratus]

there's professor oak's challenge ig which is the most similar you can get to this

[ashen barn]

No

Gen 1 and 2 are the same

You just need a way to get the other starters

[sand forge]

https://www.serebii.net/rb/exclusives.shtml

?

[ashen barn]

Sorry, what I meant was "no exclusives outside the games"

I left that part out

[sand forge]

[ashen barn]

For example, if you had gen 2 and 2 copies of gen 1, you could do everything

While gen 3 was "Hey, you also need gen 1 and 2 and events from 2006, plus 2 other consoles"

And it only got worse from there

Btw
You couldn't port gen 1 and 2 to gen 3

You had to use the stadium games

a fun process

[pseudo goblet]

huh, They even recreated this ad for the anime

[pseudo goblet]

Roll credits

[fading stratus]

nyahoja is sprigatito?

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

tho how they 'say' it is Nya-o-ha

dont know why the J is there

oh right

Wattrel been standing on Fuecoco's head this whole episode, i feel like this is foreshadow to his evo

[fading stratus]

did riko get anything else

[pseudo goblet]

Nope, well, nothing but Amnesia caused from the villain

not the pokemon move btw

[fading stratus]

oh she got a amnesia?

[maiden flax]

pronounce jojoba

[maiden flax]

beheeyam induced amnesia

[fading stratus]

that good for nothing thing is up to no good

[pseudo goblet]

Say that again lmao

also HELL YEAH next episode focuses on Dot, she might as well be the 3rd main character, since, she partners with Quaxly, especially next ep

[fading stratus]

is the new anime doing good enough to not make them go back to ash again btw

[pseudo goblet]

my guesses on instead of having Liko and Roy again for next gen, we switch to another story again

[fading stratus]

we need a pla anime smh

that would be cool

[pseudo goblet]

also yes, imo this season is good

[fading stratus]

I should binge the season after it reaches like 40ish episodes

[pseudo goblet]

the first 2 episode might be a bit boring(my sister even slept on it) btw, after it tho, you get to meet wholesome crew

[fading stratus]

only thing i know is they're called rising volt tacklers or sth

[pseudo goblet]

something like that yeah, also the anime rn only just 15 ep so it will be a while before episode 40

[fading stratus]

25 episodes is half an year so its okay

[pseudo goblet]

The members are

Leader with protag personality
Himbo(love him)
Mechanic
Goth
Nice and Odd old man
Nerd introvert girl
New girl and new boy

No funny antagonist tho, they are pretty competent 😔

[fading stratus]

So you're saying, big titty goth girl

[pseudo goblet]

Shes Nurse Joy but stoic, and lovable

[fading stratus]

what's her name

[pseudo goblet]

Mollie

[fading stratus]

oh she looks neat

[pseudo goblet]

btw uh, confession, they look mighty fine and pretty here

Kids are lucky these days, they are having such good childhood crushes

[ashen barn]

...the fact I didn't kill was a 1 in 16.
And the AI went flail right after. Full power flail into albaz.

This is the 2nd death today to random bullshit go

I also had a destiny bond gengar earlier. Into assurance.

[ashen barn]

The absolute best part of this run
I lost 6 mons between planned sackings, bs, and...an unfortunate crit on an encounter, but 0 to gym leaders so far and I am at the 6th gym

[ashen barn]

My word did Cheren scare me
3 water mons randomized under rain

[golden lance]

Because spanish

[kind vortex]

They're spelling it as it'd be in Spanish

[pseudo goblet]

I see

[kind vortex]

Which is also why the h is where it is

[pseudo goblet]

Meanwhile fuecoco have the simplest name ‘Hogator’/fire gator lol

[ashen barn]

Tfw route 1 gives you heracross but you already had an encounter

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/starters-starter-pokemon-quaxly-fuecoco-gif-25011311

Ohh how time changes you, I remember the days when they came out and my opinion of them was different then

[long stone]

||so what's the best gen 5 romhack ?|| and are we allowed to talk about those here ?

kinda feeling like watching a let's play of one

[ashen barn]

Pokemon blaze black 2 redux

[warm sky]

romhacks are fine to discuss

just no sharing actual roms

[long stone]

i'm guessing it's new ?

[ashen barn]

Uh, it's not new, but it was revamped recently
