oh my god i have to do the whole cutscene
outer eagle
you can at least position yourself right at the edge of where the cutscene starts
that's what i did back then 
also, tbf, it's not remotely as painful as SM's cutscene
tacit sphinx

I think Bulma hates frogs after what happened on Namek lmao
Gonna go with Launch

damn Fennekin's gonna be forgotten and left in the box halfway through the run

Gen 6 starters are so mid tho
I don't like any of em

Not unless Raz has the right shape for other mon lol
outer eagle
in terms of my X/Y starter rankings it's Delphox > Gren > Chesnaught
pseudo goblet
I don’t think I can handle Grass Fighting 
fading stratus
I think gren is the most tolerable of the 3 for me
outer eagle
knowing that Gren's scarf is its tongue does some mental image damage to me
pseudo goblet
fading stratus
lero lero lero lero
pseudo goblet
Think I go with Greninja, psychic kinda feels awkward to use
Also now that I think about it, isn’t Delphox move pool a bit… basic??
outer eagle
it's fine
Gren is absolutely the better mon in optimal situations
but in-game i'd go with Delphox any day
pseudo goblet
Tongue scarf 
outer eagle
mfw Gren's best Dark STAB that it learns naturally is fucking Night Slash
pseudo goblet
Genius method for eating, assuming Greninja eats small bugs like normal frogs, having its tongue out 24 7 probably have situations where the bugs dive into its death
outer eagle
you ever have dry tongue?
that's not a pleasant sensation

greninja is a water mon unlike you

I mean the whole world wanted ash to lose that tour tho

Which one, XY or SM
fading stratus
XY
SM was when the whole world wanted Ash to win
Hala literally wanted his grandson to lose so he waited like 5 mins for ash's mon to wake up which was practically fainted
pseudo goblet
The judge in the anime WCS waited Pikachu whole flashback and never said a thing lol
As far as we know
outer eagle

woke: wanting Ash to win so the franchise can move on to tell a new story

Imo, there were points of Journey that made me feel we gonna let Ash go
I miss him

I don't

I wanna see ash with his new wife

Roy kinda inherited Ash’s personality so
Also small bit of people theorize Roy’s grandfather is Ash

that's one aggressive team
most teams this format are aggressive
most popular being what I like to call Tailwind Hyperoffense

Just arrived in Santalune City.
Current team list:
Launch the Fennekin (Fire) (Quadruped)
Ranfan the Scatterbug (Bug) (Insectoid)
Pilaf the Pansage (Grass) (Bipedal with tail)
Nam the Fletchling (Normal/Flying) (One set of wings)

Pansage going after lv16 huh\

All these Pokemon are cute, no types match, no shapes match

My team is Fire, Grass, Normal/Flying, Bug
Besides that, I have quadruped, bipedal with tail, one set of wings, and insectoid
I’m pretty sure that covers everything around Santalune City
tacit sphinx
I tried to share experience from Viola but got randomly crit
So now my team is sub-level 10 except for Launch who is level 13
bleak pine
Oh dear
tacit sphinx
Oh cool EXP Share
bleak pine
And there goes the difficulty
It does present a bit of a rub
With it, you can invalidate most challenges, but getting levels will be very painful without

Ranfan the Spewpa (Bug) (Head with base)

apparently not
apparently 8 best players in japan turbo
tacit sphinx
…F U C K
@sharp kernel YOU HAVE CURSED ME
I have no option but to drop Nam the Fletchling from the team.
Ranfan the Spewpa evolved, and, by Buggy’s law, I must include a Bug, Rock, and Ice type in the party once I am able to do so.
But Vivillon is Bug/Flying, and, by Bolt’s law, I can only have 1 Flying mon on the team
btw @fading stratus want some pain
Adamant Flabébé
pseudo goblet
Oh god what have we done to Raz
tacit sphinx
Oh god what have we done to Raz <:KEKW:622347587516628993>
Had to kick Pilaf the Pansage out of the team too
Launch evolved into Braixen which is bipedal with tail
pseudo goblet
Honestly I kinda don’t know how Pansage was there in the first place lmao
tacit sphinx
This also means that I was unable to pick any Pokemon from Sycamore other than Bulbasaur
Because both of the other two are, you guessed it
Bipedal with tail
random stream
fading stratus
btw <@!703113512901410858> want some pain
Raz I'm really sorry for you
but you get a free snorlax tho
which is probably different shape from the ones you have
tacit sphinx
Should I hunt for a Vespiquen
I have to use a Bug and like
it’s probably better than Vivillon
fading stratus
is vespiqueen in hordes?
fading stratus
ah
fading stratus
I've never used vespiqueen so I have no idea how good she is
fading stratus
I do I say com bee
tacit sphinx
I've never used vespiqueen so I have no idea how good she is
The other reason is
Combee is actually “multiple heads” body shape
fading stratus
what about vespiqueen
tacit sphinx
I figure I can slot it in the back and train it since that’s a fairly uncommon group
Vespiquen is “multiple wings” which Vivillon takes up
But if I included a Vespiquen, then Vivillon would have to be switched out
fading stratus
it'd have to be switched out regardless because type overlap
fading stratus
yeah
tacit sphinx
Point is I could replace 1 mon with 2
While training Combee
Vespiquen stats are mid btw
I love this mon but there’s no getting past this
Yo shout outs to Game Freak btw
fading stratus
It can function as a pseudo tank ig
tacit sphinx
“Let’s finally make some good Bug/Flying Pokemon”
“Cool”
“Also Stealth Rock”
sand forge
tacit sphinx
Gen 4 was cruel
tacit sphinx
It can function as a pseudo tank ig
Well
She also gets the two signature moves
Heal Order and Defend Order
Defend Order is Cosmic Power, Heal Order is Recover
pseudo goblet
But does anyone else say “com-bee”
I saw a lot of people say Com Bee and it affected me, now that you like say as Comb Bee omg it all make sense now
tacit sphinx
Also fun fact, Vespiquen lost Heal Order in Gen 8
Because god forbid a Pokemon have a healing move
fading stratus
you can heal order toxic stall
tacit sphinx
I mean to be fair
fading stratus
also attack order
tacit sphinx
80 attacking stats are okay in game
fading stratus
Vespiqueen surprsingly has decent coverage
tacit sphinx
Yeah
It’s not trash in-game
It is in comp
But in-game it’s a decent enough mon, if a bit obnoxious to get
fading stratus
My experience with vespiqueen is combee is the most common mon in honey trees so it gets irritating
tacit sphinx
Actually, speaking of Combee
Can I get an opinion Bolt
If you gave Honey Gather an in-battle effect, what would it be
Right now the only fully-evolved mon with it is Ribombee so it’s not like it matters
But still
fading stratus
If you gave Honey Gather an in-battle effect, what would it be
if your partner's or your opponent's held item is consumed this mon gets the held item as long as it's not holding anything
outer eagle
the name is Honey Gather so it could be something like "Bug Types are unable to switch out in battle"
essentially a Bug version of Magnet Pull
outer eagle
either one works i suppose
fading stratus
oh yeah ryu I'm watching wolfe's japan invitationals and

funny thing you can do is switch G-Weezing into something like Gliscor that has been on field for 5+ turns

i hope to see them in the dlc

one other thing
i hope to god
they give weezing actual recovery this gen

cause galar weezing goes from a niche mon to actually viable with that one change

you need 252 spd 224 hp to gurantee survive a timid shadow ball

he probably didn't exactly need to guarantee survive ig
probably only needed like 50/50
fading stratus
64 hp survives 25% of times
252 hp 36 spd actually survives 25% of times too

kinda cool that Dark Shifu is better in Singles while Water is better in VGC

188+ Atk Mystic Water Urshifu Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Flutter Mane on a critical hit: 255-300 (81.2 - 95.5%) -- approx. 2HKO
yeah 252 hp mane good
188 because urshifu rs generally have atk investment around this
outer eagle
with that range you're probably safe until 220
fading stratus
yeah
196 HP / 84 Atk / 4 Def / 156 SpD / 68 Spe
this is generally commonish evs
in urshifu
outer eagle
did you set the stats to lv50 Boltz?
outer eagle
running some calcs and it's doing around 120% for me

this is 50
this is kinda flawed this should be 184 or 192 evs but yeah

you probably need a def invest

outer eagle
there is a possibility that Flutter has low Speed and Sp.Atk investment ig
since you're EV-ing to survive anyways might as well go slow
fading stratus
it was pixie plate so you defo do spa investment with timid nature so you atleast speed tie
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 124 SpA / 4 SpD / 12 Spe
EVs: 100 HP / 60 Def / 212 SpA / 4 SpD / 132 Spe

you can get eevee and rotom heat forme and magmar too iirc in plat tho

real ones use Rotom-Fan anyways 
fading stratus

Rotom-Fan is such a meme in regular play, but in randomizers it's arguably an even better form than Wash

Rotom-Frost has great potential to be a good option thanks to its dual STABs
unfortunately its best Ice move is fucking Blizzard
in regular play at least
fading stratus
well ice type with less than even base 100 speed
atleast electric resists steel

you just have double the options compared to DP cuz you went from 1 to 2 <:KEKW:...
It’s about double of 2 because Flareon isn’t an actual option
You have Nape, Rapidash, Houndoom, Magmortar if you got another DS to trade to
Rotom Heat wasn’t Fire type yet

gen 5 was when the type split of Rotom happens yes

true!
I wasnt expecting subtitle jumpscare in episode 2
warm sky
Yeah YouTube subs broke recently is2a
crimson moat
Tldr; basically no new staples, 1 new semi-comp archetype (Charizard ex)
Buncha techs for lesser decks, probably the worst set we’ve had since Vivid Voltage
bleak pine
Damn so not worth checking?
crimson moat
Charizard is free on ladder if you want to build it
crimson moat
The next few decks after it are decks that are no better than locals
Like Toedscruel, TTar, Shadow Rider with Lunarock, Glimmora ex stun
bleak pine
No way there's just 4 type shifters?
crimson moat
6 tera Pokémon in the set total, 4 that are type shift
What makes the set really bad is that half of the set is clear filler
1/3 is starter deck cards, and 1/6 is rejected cards from Paldea Evolved potential imports
Nearly half the ex are from starter decks
bleak pine
So Paldea Evolved is still the best set rn
crimson moat
Out of the SV sets, yes
crimson moat
Better off just looking into collecting at that point
fading stratus
how often does pokemon do set rotation
crimson moat
how often does pokemon do set rotation
Once a year. Originally was every September but swapped to every April
bleak pine
Once a new gen I think
Wait once a year?
I thought stuff like SwSh base is still legal
bleak pine
Ttar looks like a tech against the guy who deals counters
crimson moat
Chien Pao / Baxcal has no reason to play Eiscue
bleak pine
Vespiqueen is eh
bleak pine
Oh right 151 is close
crimson moat
Tera Zard cares a bit about 151, but actually does not care about 151 Zard at all
Only cares about Pidgey and Charmander from that set
crimson moat
151 is late September
151 has some gimmicky casual stuff but it too lacks competitive stuff
bleak pine
Damn SV starting off mid
crimson moat
Paradox Rift revealed like a dozen cards and already looks more interesting
Garchomp ex
Roaring Moon ex
Iron Valiant ex
Scream Tail
Iron Bundle
All pretty solid
And to boot it will have FA Larry for collectors
bleak pine
Wow Garchomp seems good
crimson moat
Set 5, the core set after Paradox Rift, will have Ace Spec back
spice rivet
Ace Spec is technically 2024
crimson moat
Yes
spice rivet
So not Paradox Rift, but probs the one after it
crimson moat
Yugioh moment
crimson moat
Roaring Moon is poggers but Dark Energy Acceleration is a bit sus
spice rivet
But ya, cant wait for Paradox rift, hoping we get IRs for all the Paradox mons
I am building Roaring Moon as a meme deck 100%
crimson moat
When you see an auto-ko card and it might end up mid depending on energy support
spice rivet
Dark Patch and pray 🙏
crimson moat
Amazing Rare Yvaltal not only had to wait for Silver Tempest, it also had to get lucky with our rotation plans aligning with Japan
spice rivet
Man, I always forget that Amazing Rares were a thing

The only cards that make Vivid Voltage not complete junk later on
Well, them and Wash Energy
spice rivet
Ye
latent sleet
pokemon unite rant: mewtwo is the most boring uninspired cashgrab i have ever seen
bleak pine
Go to Masters he is free there
bleak pine
Thing to note on Eiscue
The Defending mons is the one you use the attack on
Meaning if they switch out for something else on the bench, the effect can’t protect you from the new card
Obsidian Flames isn’t really that disappointing, but compared to the last two set, it definitely can’t live up to the rep they had
crimson moat
It’s pretty bad, no
Half the set being from non-booster product really drags it down
It’s like how Yugioh sometimes turned structure decks into product mixed with reprints
But instead of Structure decks, it’s starter decks
bleak pine
Only real beef is that it reprints supporters from SVI, even in spite of it being a newer set
And that Mawile was somehow chosen to be a cover card for the build and battle box
In a set that has NO special energy
crimson moat
Yeah it reprints cards from base SV which is the kicker
bleak pine
There’s a lot of cool cards but those who are looking to make decks based on recent tournament trends need look elsewhere
crimson moat
They had so few trainers to fill in the set (due to the aforementioned starter deck inclusions) that they had to reprint cards from the same rotation block
bleak pine
It did introduce Tera-ex that have types different than what they’re usually depicted with, such as the famous Charizard ex being a darkness type
So there’s that
crimson moat
I’ll move this to Pokémon tcg chat, but Tera types have not been that great overall so far
bleak pine
Unfortunately

the comedy RestTalk Kingambit set is not doing most of the work
it's otherwise a probably pretty standard OU team
fading stratus
is enamorus cute charm or contrary
sleek sky
contrary
getting random stat boosts is more useful than betting on cute charm procs to force switches
and enamorus doesn't want to be getting hit anyway
fading stratus
I have seen bulky enamorus in doubles atleast
sleek sky
in OU singles it's usually a wallbreaker or revenge killer
with utility as a pivot since it's ground immune and scares shit out with its power and/or speed
fading stratus
ah
sleek sky
sometimes a calm mind sweeper (in which case you do not use Contrary lol)
occassionally someone will cheese you out with Contrary Superpower physical Enamorus
fading stratus
ah
in doubles cheese is more probable with eerie impulse zapdos or parting shot/scary face grimm
but like why use enamorus when flutter good

well in doubles it isn't that popular atleast

<@430667447692034059> should I do my next sandwich phase looking for great tusk ...
I mean, might be more worth considering which sides 'pitty shiny' you like better
imo
like, just now you found Medichan around Slither as pitty shiny, would you like pokemon around Tusk like Garganacl or Flutter Dudunsparce to be shiny?
mighty storm
cant spawn garganacl/flutter/dudun with fighting sandwich ^
where as the pawmot line, medicham line, and hawlucha can spawn near moth
pseudo goblet
so Tusk appears more often

and all but hawlucha are family spawns for the secondary hunts when going for moth with fighting

and the hawlucha just like all spawn right next to each other at the end of 1 of the two paths you can use
with less on the other route but still at end
