Pokemon

[fading stratus]

it's the obligatory dlc rfake

[sand forge]

Rfake sucks ass

[fading stratus]

none of the 3 are really noteworthy

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah convergent evos feel weird

Like "oh wow it's a diglett but water"

Almost like we have a thing for diglett but water

[mighty storm]

more

[sand forge]

What should we call it?

SeaDiglett

[vagrant steppe]

That's definitely only 8 mons total?

[sand forge]

Ok thanks

[mighty storm]

Second DLC

[fading stratus]

wigglet because it wiggles

[sand forge]

8 new Mons, then access to returning mons

[vagrant steppe]

Oh the second dlc is gonna need to have like 15 mons then

[outer eagle]

divett

[fading stratus]

we know 3 so far iirc

[vagrant steppe]

3?

[fading stratus]

2 paradox and a duralodon evo

[mighty storm]

funny enough wiglett's japanese name literally means

[crimson moat]

Neck
Neck2
Neck with shell
and Robot

[vagrant steppe]

Oh right

[mighty storm]

ocean diglet

[vagrant steppe]

And the turtle

So 4

[fading stratus]

yeah turtle

[vagrant steppe]

I'd expect it to cap out at about 6-7 mons too

[fading stratus]

probably that tbh

[vagrant steppe]

Enjoy your 14 new pokemon and a battle tower... $30

[fading stratus]

probably 2 more paradox realistically

since entei]

[sand forge]

Great Neck isn't even in the first dlc?

[fading stratus]

second

[vagrant steppe]

It's honestly impressive how little content they can put in these DLCs and people will still buy it day 1

[crimson moat]

That'll be part of next DLC, when they give out Topaz Desert

[fading stratus]

its literally water digglet

[sand forge]

Laziest shit ever

[vagrant steppe]

Like I know the bar is low... but come on guys

[fading stratus]

that isn't even out of the question for them to do

[vagrant steppe]

It's not that low

[fading stratus]

its defo that low

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah true

It's just in most other games, $30 for DLC is usually a lot of shit

Hell, Dead Cells added an ENITRE castlevania game for $15 dlc

[fading stratus]

1 hour of content for 30 bucks feel..........underwhelming?

[vagrant steppe]

1 hour of content for $30 is highway robbery

[crimson moat]

Remember, we are talking about the company that can unapologetically get away with versioned games

[vagrant steppe]

True

Honestly, versioned games isn't even on my list of top 10 issues with the pokemon franchise

[sand forge]

Uh, if you think about it

Pokémon has been with you your whole childhood

[vagrant steppe]

But now that they've shown that they CAN make games that don't need to be dual release, it's pretty obvious it's a cash grab

[sand forge]

This dlc will recapture that feeling we promise

[vagrant steppe]

It really sucks this franchise does have a hold on my childhood so much

[sand forge]

[vagrant steppe]

Because I want them to be good

They have the capacity to be good

[fading stratus]

they can but will they is the thing

[vagrant steppe]

It's just that they don't need to because most successful media franchise in the world

[crimson moat]

pokemon's side games and some of their recent animation have been great

[vagrant steppe]

They don't need to try

[sand forge]

We added a stick to Applin, can we have your money now

[crimson moat]

But their mainline stuff has been spotty af

[vagrant steppe]

That's worth at least $10

What I don't get about the applin evo is that it was literally in the base game?

Like why does it get an evo now when the mon was ALREADY in the game?

[fading stratus]

you need to visit a traditional island to skewer it

[sand forge]

Technical limitations

They don't have syrup in Spain

[vagrant steppe]

Also it's funny all the dlc trailers still show the game running like ass

[crimson moat]

Nobody expects the spanish depression

[vagrant steppe]

Like this game was almost unplayably bugged at launch and is still a buggy mess

Ya'll had a year and want $30 more for it and you can't even fix that?

[fading stratus]

it was 15fps at launch now its 30fps
big improvement

[crimson moat]

It's still racing with PTCGL for lack of improvement

[sand forge]

100% improvement in fact

[vagrant steppe]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they put bugfixing in the DLC

$30 for the game to actually run like a switch gmae

It'll never look anything better than gamecube tho

[sand forge]

Bugsnaxing

[crimson moat]

Yeah the big problem is efficiency. Colosseum and XD didn't need to load in huge chunks of area so they didn't have to deal with that part of smart coding
Stadium games and Batttle Rev too

[bleak pine]

aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[crimson moat]

And PLA actually had an ok handle on at least making the game presentable, if not still kinda bare

[bleak pine]

Teddiursa and Clefairy!?

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah PLA ran at a consistent mostly 30

The game looked like a PS2 game

But it ran like a modern game

[sand forge]

What if we were to also render a massive ocean

[vagrant steppe]

What if we loaded the whole world map at once

Except for the "interiors"

[crimson moat]

What if we loaded every third pixel and made it possible to clip

[vagrant steppe]

I still can't get over the fact that every gym uses the same interior

You can literally softlock the ENTIRE game by going into one of the gyms where you can move a pokemon towards the door and leaving it there

You can never go into a gym again because it loads the same white room for every gym and you've broken the loading point

That's good game design

[sand forge]

Can I get an uhhh, fossil Dreepy

[vagrant steppe]

I mean I guess when you make 3 interiors total for the game it's smart to use the same one all 8 times

I mean, uh the games have always been about playing outside or something

[bleak pine]

...Also just occured to me that The Treasure of Area Zero releases like, this September

Jeez, that was quick. Don't wanna miss that boat!

[sand forge]

What boat

[mighty storm]

||After seeing cutesy ogerpon, Im 100% convinced it's not a villain||

[random stream]

[bleak pine]

Totally would get a Teddiursa squish

[pseudo goblet]

How come the dumb-ish apple have the best shiny out of these powerful Pokémon

[pseudo goblet]

It’s a teddy bear

[bleak pine]

Mewtwo Raid begun

https://serebii.net/scarletviolet/teraraidbattles/event-mightymewtwoshowdown.shtml

Yes, it does in fact use rest during the raid

Fortunately, it's means of attacking are pretty limited, so if you got Mew and it's a psychic-type currently, it's one attack it'll use is Ice Beam most likely.

Right now, good picks would be Mew (of course), Slowbro/Slowking, Blissey, Hisuian Zoroark, Grimmsnarl and Ghodenghoul

If any of you want to try to get together to take it on I'm willing

[pseudo goblet]

I haven’t make any preparation for this

[fading stratus]

it's shiny is okay
it's honey color which is neat ig

[random stream]

Any ferrothorn fans in chat

[fading stratus]

did it sweep someone

[mighty storm]

Khu on that mon from the leaks

[fading stratus]

we literally have the type anyway

[mighty storm]

did we get typings now?

[fading stratus]

for the mon he's talking about, yes

the bear

[mighty storm]

well, what type was it

[fading stratus]

||Ground Steel||

[mighty storm]

ah I see, yeah that checks in with the typing from the riddle

|| Normal, Steel, Dark, and Ground. Ground/steel being the type||

[sleek sky]

||Ground Steel was speculation from Centro. I think it'll be Normal Steel or Normal Dark.||

[pseudo goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/anipoke_pr/status/1697413972297916498?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

[pseudo goblet]

Wait I just realize, it has one of my favorite offensive type and the best defensive type lmao

I think they just sold the thing to me lol

[random stream]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1934441254-sqwl0hppuf80bzsakrbsdbvg5o0o3ulpw Iron Valiant and Walking Wake do it again

With support from dragapult

[tacit sphinx]

Bruh

I can’t use anything on Route 10

all of the mons are quadruped or bipedal without tail

[placid junco]

man leakers just like ruining things for people don't they

that's pretty much what I've gotten out of today

[random stream]

True copper

[placid junco]

like I get they "supposedly" do important work but like

no they don't fuck that

genuinely wish they would all just sod off

i know I'm mostly just ranting but like

[tacit sphinx]

Nah it’s valid

DBD got a massive thing leaked recently too and everyone was giga pissed off

[random stream]

No I agree w you as well copper

[placid junco]

yet with pokemon it seemingly just becomes a "thank goodness for these brave leakers and their bullshit attention seeking riddles"

[random stream]

Honestly the riddle stuff is the worst

I'm not sure why people are foaming at the mouth for shoddy rushed paid dlc being presented by an insider guy who lucked out sending vague passages

Why not just experience the subpar dlc for yourself

[placid junco]

because it's pokemon

and I'm pretty sure at least some percentage of them genuinely want to make people upset who wanted to experience it blind

like genuinely I think some of them derive joy from people getting upset at them for posting leaks

like I'm not even that interested in getting the DLC at the current moment but i'm just annoyed that leakers get lifted up on their shitty little pedastals

[kind vortex]

so has anyone done a mewtwo solo

so far i'm seeing people concluding that it's literally impossible

which i doubt

[maiden flax]

this is the second time this has happened btw

[warm sky]

wait really?

[maiden flax]

yes

first time the art had her with alolan vulpix

let me see if i can find it

feb 4th 2020

[warm sky]

honestly, can barely recognize that one as miku

[maiden flax]

its snow miku

specifically

[warm sky]

farfetch'd makes more sense though

[maiden flax]

cause of the leek?

[warm sky]

https://tenor.com/view/levan-polka-hatsune-miku-jashin-chan-dropkick-miku-gif-26721981

Yes

[maiden flax]

but this one a specifically cause its snow miku

https://nintendosoup.com/alolan-vulpix-x-snow-miku-collaboration-campaign-announced-in-japan/

[warm sky]

didn't know she had regional variants

[maiden flax]

trust me there's more

[fading stratus]

where desert miku

[maiden flax]

there's a strawberry miku, does that count?

wait desert or dessert?

[fading stratus]

desert

if there's snow there should be a desert one too smh

[maiden flax]

there's a sakura miku

light miku

a few more

[tacit sphinx]

Two roads ahead of you
Light Miku
Dark Miku

[maiden flax]

Does dark miku exist?

Not sure

[pseudo goblet]

Angel miku where, tho I like the Kagamine twins version of the song more

[tacit sphinx]

So shouldn’t Miku be a Farfetch’d

Because of leekspin

[fading stratus]

apparently light miku exists who is literally angel miku

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/inu-brother-gif-26811815

[latent sleet]

rogenrola vs sprigatito

[pseudo goblet]

God how did people manage to multitask two different Pokémon console same time

Rn I am doing some raids and currently 9th SOS encounter on the Buneary

[mighty storm]

btw curious

if we got a new unova game, what does everyone want?

I want like a legends Kyurem that gives Kyurem an "original form", and maybe a new form for reshiram and zekrom each.

[fading stratus]

it'll be original drgaon

[mighty storm]

yup that's what Im hoping

[pseudo goblet]

I idiotically brought a Kingambit to the Mewtwo, who knows Aura Sphere 🤦‍♂️

[fading stratus]

tera into fairy

[pseudo goblet]

The better solution I can think of are Dark Ghost type, that can tank ice beam 🤦‍♂️

[bleak pine]

If you want good picks, Slowking, Grimmsnarl, and of course Mew would be ideal

[fading stratus]

just play Gholdengo

literally

[pseudo goblet]

Levels on the Pokémon matters right

In raids

[bleak pine]

Armarogue could be alright if only cause it knows Clear Smog

Yep

The raid mon will always be a set level

In this case Mewtwo is level 100

[pseudo goblet]

Ghouldengo lv 52, my mew is lv 5, don’t really use Grimmsnarl or slowking…

[bleak pine]

If you really need, I can trade you something that can help later

[fading stratus]

just use pkhex and make a lv100 gholdengo with perfect stat

[pseudo goblet]

That being?

[bleak pine]

Slowbro, I got one

But I was gonna use Mew first off anyways

Also got Grimmsnarl

[pseudo goblet]

Worth a shot, trade now?

[bleak pine]

Will do so when I got time, out for now

[pseudo goblet]

Right

Seeing if my playthrough Armorouge can do the trick

[bleak pine]

Armarogue can be pretty alright on support

[fading stratus]

what moves does mewtwo have

[bleak pine]

Resists all of Mewtwo’s known moves and can use Clear Smog to remove the bonuses it gets from Calm Mind

Psystrike, Aura Sphere, Ice Beam and Calm Mind

[pseudo goblet]

And rest

[bleak pine]

After taking enough damage it will use Rest

[fading stratus]

hmm calm mind

[pseudo goblet]

It use one right at the start

[bleak pine]

Yeah, 7* raids tend to use an opening move

Like say, Charizard opens up with Overheat, Cinderace uses bulk up, etc.

[pseudo goblet]

Dang, 3 players here uses Mew except me

[bleak pine]

Mew gets a massive stat bonus. So yeah

Definitely one pick

[pseudo goblet]

They probably think ‘tf this guy doing’

[pseudo goblet]

Seriously

Guess I’m training my Mew later

[bleak pine]

Not all that bad to bring something different

Mew can’t use stuff like Spirit Break or Clear Smog for instance

[pseudo goblet]

OH COME ON, YOU RE A PSYCHIC TOO, HOW COME PSYSTRIKE ONE SHOT YOU CRIMSON

Even the Mews isn’t doing any damage

[bleak pine]

Mewtwo has a 150 or so Sp atk stat, it’s gonna hurt no matter what

Doubly so with the Tera psychic type

Also, attack works off of the target’s defense stat

[pseudo goblet]

Oh damn somebody manage to get bug Tera going

[bleak pine]

Yeaaa, Leech Life

Leech Life is super great

[pseudo goblet]

That LITTLE bit

[bleak pine]

Youch

[kind vortex]

unless you're coordinating that's probably griefing

clear smog is dogshit when they're trying to debuff it with struggle bug and you say "no"

[pseudo goblet]

Probably gonna copy this

[fading stratus]

this is a support mew

[kind vortex]

acid spray is also griefing

[fading stratus]

well you can use acid spray when shields are down no

[kind vortex]

you can use it regardless

but who the fuck is using spatk mew in this raid

leech life is physical and desired

[bleak pine]

…Ok yeah when Argor puts it that way

Yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm, good point

[bleak pine]

Don’t do Clear Smog

I completely forgot it removes debuffs too

[pseudo goblet]

Feels very odd to make Mew physical atk but I could just reset the ev later right, this good?

[kind vortex]

that looks a lot better

[bleak pine]

Yep

[kind vortex]

make sure someone has misty terrain to block rest tho

[pseudo goblet]

Alright, which family of Pokémon I shall kill for ev

[bleak pine]

If for whatever reason you don’t want to bring Mew, mons like Slowbro and Grimmsnarl are fine too

[kind vortex]

slowbro sounds awful here

[bleak pine]

But for the most part

Please just use Mew

[pseudo goblet]

Lmao

[kind vortex]

grimmsnarl might be okay but you'd still need to coordinate

[pseudo goblet]

APPARENTLY I HAD A LV 75 SLOWKING, SHIT

[fading stratus]

lokix and its pre evo gib atk evs iirc and maschiff and mabostiff

[pseudo goblet]

Wait flying Tera??? Uh

[fading stratus]

or just farm brute bonnet idk

it gibs 3 atk

[pseudo goblet]

Crap I needed more bug Tera crystal

16 in bag

[outer eagle]

Kingamba overtaking Great-Therian as the most used OU mon

[kind vortex]

even in pokemon chess is the best game

[outer eagle]

always funny to see Dirge being top 5 in Ubers

meanwhile it's UU

[kind vortex]

my boi sneasel-h hitting top 5 nu

also shoutout to literally the entire scyther line for being in this image

[fading stratus]

thundurus RU makes me sad

[pseudo goblet]

Must be weird for this Mew- or most mews recently went from psychic cat to a vampire

[fading stratus]

blood sucking leech is the best there is

[maiden flax]

no duh the 3 mons who are borderline ou are the 3 most used in uu lol

[warm sky]

Tbf viability rankings say arc-h is the best mon in uu iirc

[maiden flax]

fair

luna, hoopa u and roaring moon fell from ou

honestly i feel like this gen does showcase a problem with the tiering system in that, when more mons are viable than the threshold allows its hard to show an actual representation of the meta especially when those mons arent ban worthy in the lower metas XD

Joseonese Ursaring & Ursaluna are based on the Asiatic black bear and climbing gear. The pattern on Ursaluna resembles a mountain range on the horizon.

And yes. I know what you're thinking. I know about it.

fan ursaring/ursaluna

[outer eagle]

that sweet juicy "dying to Mach Punch" energy

[fading stratus]

another slow ice type

:3

that's what we need

[sand forge]

Give us a Normal/Ice type with a fighting type water absorb

Like Fist Feaster

[maiden flax]

Impact absorber

[fading stratus]

that'd be cool

wool cushion

[sand forge]

Yeah it's an ice type

[fading stratus]

[maiden flax]

If you could make an immunity to a type ability what would you name each one?

[pseudo goblet]

Ending the training today with now being lv 58

[sand forge]

🙂

[outer eagle]

sounds kinky

[pseudo goblet]

EV almost done too, just need to collect the Tera shards later

[fading stratus]

now go to bed goodnight zane

[maiden flax]

Currently we have:
Water absorb, Dry Skin and Storm Drain
Flashfire (and well-baked body)
Volt absorb, lightning rod and motor drive
Sap sipper
Levitate (and earth eater)

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/wooloo-pouty-pokemon-angry-cute-gif-16613082

[outer eagle]

Wonder Guard

[fading stratus]

earth eater

[maiden flax]

Beat ya too it

[maiden flax]

Yes

[outer eagle]

GF really hates Electric

[maiden flax]

But i edited before you said it :v

[fading stratus]

trust

[kind vortex]

dry skin

[maiden flax]

Oh right dry skin!

[sand forge]

Psychic immunity could be "Empty Mind"

Psychic absorb is harder

[fading stratus]

oh yeah dry skin levitate strats i forgor

[pseudo goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/teletelo/status/1697373662498722206?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

Looks like a radish lol

[sand forge]

Psycho Sap maybe

[fading stratus]

give meganium prankster

[sand forge]

Psycho Slurp

[fading stratus]

Mental Breakdown

[outer eagle]

Mind Meld

[maiden flax]

I mean for fighting immunity itd have to be something like "impact absorber" for like absorbing or like some martial art related thing for immunity

[outer eagle]

me when i absorb a ki blast (Aura Sphere)

[sand forge]

Empty Body for immunity

Empty Soul for Dark immunity then I guess?

These sound like legendary abilities though

[outer eagle]

Supreme Purity for Dark immunity

[maiden flax]

Its like those dummies that the harder you hit them the harder they bounce back at you :v

[sand forge]

Ghost I feel should be something related to Spell Tags

[outer eagle]

atheism

[fading stratus]

Brainless for Psychic immunity

[outer eagle]

[maiden flax]

Or like ectoplasm related

[fading stratus]

can't affect the mind if you have none

[sand forge]

Ectoplasm Eater

[outer eagle]

??? Immunity

[sand forge]

Isn't Sap Sipper Herbivore in JP

So Bug one could be Insectivore

[maiden flax]

buster blader for dragon immunity

[sand forge]

And then the localisers have to struggle with the English

[fading stratus]

It is herbivore

[maiden flax]

Oh yeah

[sand forge]

Fairy could be "Artificial"

Or iron banded

[outer eagle]

i get the feeling that Rock and Steel immunities will share the same ability

[maiden flax]

Burrowed for flying
Or like
Wind armor (with the flavouring that the wind around it is so strong flying types moves cant get past)

Rock can be rock eater a la earth eater

[fading stratus]

Wing Rider

[outer eagle]

Aerodynamicism for Flying immunity maybe

[fading stratus]

garlic energy for ghost immunity

[maiden flax]

Problem with that is for like the physical flying moves

Its why wind rider specifically stops wind moves

[outer eagle]

you use the air the opposing mon generates to swiftly move out of the way

[sand forge]

Psychoresonance/Psychosynergy for Psychic absorption

[outer eagle]

what if Mental Herb also halves Psychic damage one time

[fading stratus]

do we have a pulse immunity ability btw

[maiden flax]

Ice immunity should be simple enough

Frost absorb

[fading stratus]

ice immunity should be named heater

[maiden flax]

Subzero body

[fading stratus]

ground immunity should've been named washing machine

[sand forge]

Antifreeze

[outer eagle]

ground immunity should be called Anchor Balance tbh

[maiden flax]

Antifreeze works too

We already have like 1.5 ground immunity abilities

[sand forge]

Bug could also be "Repellant" or "Stinky" or whatever

[maiden flax]

With levitate and the .5 being earth eater

[fading stratus]

hear me out

Cryonot for anti ice

[maiden flax]

How do we go about.... normal immunity?

[fading stratus]

normal immunity will be called uhh extraordinary

[sand forge]

Transcended or something

Extraordinary is fun

[outer eagle]

Enlightenment

[maiden flax]

Intangible body?

Ghostly body?

[fading stratus]

ghostly body could work

[maiden flax]

Could work too

[outer eagle]

Etherialist

[fading stratus]

now dragon immunity

[sand forge]

Dragon could be Heroic

[fading stratus]

what do you even call it

heroic hmm

[sand forge]

For a Flash-Fire type ability

Or Fae-Blessed

But I prefer Heroic

[outer eagle]

kinda samey sounding as Guts

[sand forge]

Heroic Spirit, Heroic Valor

[fading stratus]

when are we getting delta stream 2 btw

[maiden flax]

buster blader

[outer eagle]

delta stream for Ice

[fading stratus]

delta stream for ice would be neat

[sand forge]

Give Poison Heal an immunity to the damage, but not the effects

[fading stratus]

wonder if freeze is better or frostbite woulda been better as a status

[sand forge]

Steel immunity like.. Sword Swallower? Or Infernal Furnace

[outer eagle]

i mean Freeze is def better right

but it's also more toxic

[fading stratus]

freeze generates more rng

which isn't good ig

[sand forge]

Dark could be "Antihero" or "Justified"

[fading stratus]

justified

ah yes sounds like something i've heard before

[maiden flax]

Justified exists

It increases attack when hit by a dark type move
No immunity

[sand forge]

I know lol

[outer eagle]

What’s the explanation for Justified anyways

That the mons chose to go full sicko mode when it sees the opposing mon is evil?

[fading stratus]

basically

[sand forge]

Guess I can go all out, just this once - Lucario

[mighty storm]

SO CUTE

We've seen furret in trailers so not a spoiler

baby hour

[mighty storm]

lmao mimikyu's tera hat goes on their ear

[tacit sphinx]

If y’all could make one change to the matchup chart what would you do

Actually let’s be generous

3 changes

[swift jasper]

only thing that comes to mind and is a pet peeve of mine

if we say that normal is weak to fighting cause the fighting types are trained or smth

poison should be super effective too

[tacit sphinx]

Mine is extremely petty

Ice should resist Water

I just hate the Water type

[swift jasper]

yeah that makes sense

[swift jasper]

😠

[tacit sphinx]

Bro Water is unironically dumb

The Water type is busted

[fading stratus]

vanilla water is one of the best types, yes

[swift jasper]

one day a gastro will have a regional form

and it'll have sap sipper

the ultimate water

[fading stratus]

lmao

gastro with sap sipper will be bonkers

but hey it won worlds this time too

albeit in seniors

[swift jasper]

no water redirect tho

[fading stratus]

you have to pick your poison

tho gastro is such a cool mon

[tacit sphinx]

Gastrodon probably stinks

[fading stratus]

slugs do smell, yes

but you smell harder

[tacit sphinx]

I wonder what Pokemon smells the best

I’m thinking Meganium, Comfey, or Aromatisse

[fading stratus]

floette

[tacit sphinx]

Aromatisse would literally smell like perfume tho

[fading stratus]

but flower

[sand forge]

Stinky Hold

[harsh path]

Water my beloved

[pseudo goblet]

Currently 69th encounter on shiny hunting Buneary

[random stream]

Lapras is really strong in unite @pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah turns out it’s one bit stronger than Mamoswine in offense

[maiden flax]

Something interesting
The pokemon adventures manga changed how long till the energy crisis problem in galar was from how it was in the game
In the game it was like "a few thousand years" in the manga they changed it to 10

[fading stratus]

they just wanted to give rose some kinda reasoning

[maiden flax]

I mean they also gave swordward and shieldbert a reason to exist

In that they (just like in the games) were part of the royal family and were the descendants of the hero

But instead of them coming after the crisis
They are there before the crisis, hired by rose to deal with the darkest day and etc.

Cause well

They claimed to be the heroes

[fading stratus]

I had forgotten they even existed

kinda forgettable character

[maiden flax]

Yeah lol

[outer eagle]

was Rose still unwilling to give Leon a day for the championship tho

[pseudo goblet]

112th encounter on the Buneary, no pink fur

It’s so nice to do SOS again, so I can turn most of my brain function off and just mash A, and not running around like in switch lmao

[fading stratus]

why does galar have so many uninteresting characters

galarian hau was the worst

[outer eagle]

woaw kidge so you're saying it's a faithful adaptation of a British Pokemon game

[pseudo goblet]

Masters’s Hop is Post-Game Hop so we see him trying to be smarter

[fading stratus]

does anyone even like him

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

he's kinda annoying in main game

[pseudo goblet]

Can’t say I hate him

Annoying, maybe

[fading stratus]

Nemona is atleast kinda interesting rival

[outer eagle]

idt you can get more annoying than Hau

(altho Barry comes close for me tbh)

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm… Hop > Hau for me

[fading stratus]

Both Hau and Alolan Hau are annoying

and Barry, yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Iirc Let’s Go rival is kinda call Trace right

Wait whose the rival in Legen- oh the unpicked MC right

[fading stratus]

yeah Rei or Akari

[outer eagle]

interesting theory that Arceus fucking kidnapped the MCs from DPP and put them in PLA, but not sure how reliable that is considering the different names

[fading stratus]

might just be different timeline

it's kinda like Batman Owlman thing

[maiden flax]

didnt even get to that point lol, rose just pulled the trigger

[pseudo goblet]

I mean, they dont remember everything right, maybe the name even

[fading stratus]

worst thing about pla was papa arceus didnt even let the mc get to their correct timeline

literally any isekai anime

[pseudo goblet]

Nah man, Ingo

I really should go back and fight Cynthia’s grandpapa…

[fading stratus]

volo kinda budget cynthia

Volo wouldn't even be memorable final boss if he didn't have 8 pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

Let me just say, I’m using Cute Charm on the Bunearys to boost the chance of the shiny being a female, but Cute Charm still allows 25% chance for male one to spawn

Should I questions how these male ones sees a fellow male and came at high speed lol

Like, in universe and not just codes

[outer eagle]

sometimes the only thing in an area is males

[fading stratus]

is your ingame char male or female btw

[pseudo goblet]

Male?

Only started playing with female characters since Legends and onward

[fading stratus]

they just can't help having a hot man around y'know

[outer eagle]

tbh i always pick the female avatar in every Pokemon game aside from exactly FRLG and HGSS

[pseudo goblet]

If you saw me irl, you know this the biggest false sentence said lmao

[outer eagle]

they are just generally better designed imo

[fading stratus]

yeah

I generally choose female char too

they kinda cute

[pseudo goblet]

Ops sorry

[outer eagle]

Miss me with Nate's Owl Nest haircut

[pseudo goblet]

Wrong reply

[fading stratus]

nate looks cool

[outer eagle]

his clothing is decent

i just don't like his hair

[pseudo goblet]

Too bad Cute charm’s battle effect slows down the encounter rate a bit

[fading stratus]

I'd choose Nate over Rosa tho but Hilda over Hilbert

I had a childhood crush on hilda

[outer eagle]

Hilda does exude that city girl feel

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/hilda-pokemon-masters-white-black-gif-21713239

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, Bolt likes Nemona and Hilda as characters, both are Battle freaks, I think Bolt has a type maybe

[outer eagle]

tbf

Hilda didn't have a personality back then

[pseudo goblet]

Fair

[outer eagle]

Seeing she was a player avatar

[pseudo goblet]

Btw was Lopunny in SV dex?

Damn it new Buneary got affect with Cute charm in love effect already…

[fading stratus]

I have no idea

[pseudo goblet]

121 encounter so far

[fading stratus]

I think I've used lopunny once and don't particularly like it

[pseudo goblet]

Yea

Actually maybe I should keep the shiny in my 3DS, no Mega Lopunny in Switch lol

used more than 25 Leppa berries for this, wonder when will the adorable bunny come home

[pseudo goblet]

150th encounter

[pseudo goblet]

@warm sky New Gengar incoming

(Dunno if you keep up with the TCG or not but this was new and I figured to ping you on it)

[warm sky]

You really don

t need to ping me

I don't keep up with the TCG

also I don't think that card is good?

[bleak pine]

Righto

Yeah, it's not very great

Neat artwork though, and could be nice in alternate formats.

can take a man out of the office, but can't take the office out of a man

[warm sky]

LARRY NO

[mighty storm]

Success!

caught in beastball

[bleak pine]

Ayyy nice

[mighty storm]

was 2 bug offense mews, and 2 non tera support

was first try also

[latent sleet]

need to try to do the raid

is it hard

[mighty storm]

not if you know what you are doing

[fading stratus]

did you use a physical mew summer

[mighty storm]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F462_xhbkAAW3xG?format=jpg&name=medium

support strat

[fading stratus]

ah

[mighty storm]

my other one was like built dark not realizing "oh, it carries aura sphere"

so I trained up my poison and said XD eh I'll play support

[warm sky]

oh hey I did get poison.

Guess I know what to do.

[snow oasis]

why do levitate mons ever have other possible abilities

[bleak pine]

I got Psychic as my Tera Type

I dunno how to feel about this

[void herald]

tbf nobody is gonna use ground type moves on a pokemon that might have levitate so you can use it to psyche out your opponent

[bleak pine]

It’s just as likely that Bronzong would have Heatproof

[golden lance]

Hidden ability flygon

[bleak pine]

It does present a gamble: use that ground-type attack and there’s a chance it will fail completely

But additionally, you may try a fire-type attack and it doesn’t take nearly as much damage as you think it would take

[golden lance]

Man

I just remembered that one theory that kalos would be a dlc area

How foolish were we to think that we could get more than exactly one area per 30$

[mighty storm]

Psychic and Poison were my two pulls

[golden lance]

Fun fact: the move that nature power gets you during the space deoxys fight in oras is draco meteor

[pseudo goblet]

Teach me your way

[mighty storm]

letting the bug aggro mews eat the mewtwo while I play support

nothing it did could deal big damage

[bleak pine]

Sometimes tech moves is all you need

[pseudo goblet]

Aww, I’m making a bug mew

Birb~

[pseudo goblet]

235th encounter, still no

[fading stratus]

Idk if someone already posted this but here's a leak for teal mask stats

huge if true

[spice rivet]

Progress with my OT Living Dex Lite. Nearly done.

But it will be a cold day if I ever have to buy the Sword and Shield DLC

[fading stratus]

what does 1 and 1E mean btw

[snow oasis]

I meant in the lore sense

why would some Magneton or Bronzong be levitating and others just be scuttling across the ground like steel spiders

[spice rivet]

1 Flags it as I "Need 1" and 1E means "I have one, but its from an Event/Pokemon Go"

Not counting certain mons only available from events rn ofc

[maiden flax]

||our first ghost rock||

Also I actually dont doubt those are right

Cause those stats sound about right

[pseudo goblet]

@spice rivet @fading stratus @bleak pine @mighty storm @waxen moat

🤩🤩

New baby girl acquired

Okay Love ball on a lv 2 Buneary is somehow hard to catch… even with crit catch…

Is Jolly good on Lopunny?

[outer eagle]

it's pretty great

it's decent on regular Punny and the best one for Mega-Punny

[pseudo goblet]

Ooooh, got amazing IV too

[golden lance]

Ok so like

Was i the only one who thought Roark was a girl when i was a kid?

[pseudo goblet]

Not me

[outer eagle]

hard to mistake Roark for a girl tbh

especially when it comes to being a miner

[pseudo goblet]

But I see why would you think that, heck it’s getting to me now too https://images.app.goo.gl/4k8BN8Rc4Vv3frva9

[pseudo goblet]

Miner woman in SwSh would disagree lmao

[outer eagle]

haven't played SwSh yet so

in any case irl at least mining should be one of the most male dominated professions there is

[pseudo goblet]

Understandable

Girl is pretty cute tho

[random stream]

it's pretty good especially for mega

[pseudo goblet]

I am between the choice of bringing the shiny to Switch games or stays in the console that allows Mega to exist lmao

[fading stratus]

ooooooooooo

neat

[pseudo goblet]

Phew, Mew is finally EV train, now to get the bug Tera shards

[fading stratus]

hunt for another one

[pseudo goblet]

Or I can go for another species of Pokémon for shiny

[fading stratus]

that works too

[pseudo goblet]

While i think it would be harder to do, Goomy would be the next target

Like, out of the pseudos, I like Metagross and Goodra more, I already got a Shiny Beldum in UltraSun, maybe I can try go for Shiny Goomy in Legend/SV

[fading stratus]

get the shiny ponyta because its a gurantee

[pseudo goblet]

How did you know I haven’t touch any of the Side quest in Legend

For real tho, challenging a bug Tera Grimmsnarl, why tf this is so hard to beat

Assuming it’s an event

Okay now it’s easier now team have Garganacl(me), rayquaza, Armorouge and Skeledirge

[fading stratus]

ahyes rayquaza

[pseudo goblet]

The previous match had one of the teammate using Origin Dialga lmao

And iirc two charizard

[fading stratus]

people really do just bruteforce huh

which isn't a bad strategy but still funny

[pseudo goblet]

And now there’s a Bug Tera Hydreigon god dang

The things I do for digital monsters lmao

Mf where tf did your doggo’s stick go

[fading stratus]

wao ren is playing too

[tacit sphinx]

@random stream i have lost two games in a row on ladder to getting frozen 🙃

[pseudo goblet]

I’m blaming the no-sword Zacian making us lost that round 😂

[fading stratus]

why were you even frozen

[tacit sphinx]

ice punch

[fading stratus]

oh

I thought account frozen lmao

[outer eagle]

cuz he let it go

[tacit sphinx]

also had a gengar win every coin flip for dynamicpunch which sure is a thing

anyway i'm not mad

definitely didn't get a fucking lax frozen by someone clicking buttons

...who the fuck even clicks ice punch against gsc lax

[fading stratus]

I stole his shtick

just train a ceruledge for all these bug tera stuff

[pseudo goblet]

Btw did the event allow us catch multiple Mewtwos or just one, like the Walking Wake Iron Leave

[pseudo goblet]

The only one I have is the hacked one I got from random trade, and I think WiFi banned said Ceruledge lol

[random stream]

it's okay I quit ladder today as well

got haxed like crazy

[pseudo goblet]

Might get a legitimate one from GTS after this, after I got Palafin first

[fading stratus]

feel like you can pkhex a legitimate looking mon

heard the world champ modified his amoongus from 18 atk IVs to 0 atk IVs and didn't get caught in like 3 checks

[pseudo goblet]

Meh, I tend to make things harder for myself

Also Idk hard to use that

[fading stratus]

there's probably a vid on YT or sth on how to

[tacit sphinx]

you know what always baffles me

weezing was briefly ou

[outer eagle]

i mean...

defensive Poison type with Levitate and Wisp was decent

[spice rivet]

Yo LFG!

[pseudo goblet]

[maiden flax]

Defensive poison type with levitate, good defenses, wisp and a surprisingly good move pool whose main weakness is its lack of reliable recovery outside of pian split

Like Im of the opinion that, had gweezing been given reliable recovery it would have been OU

Similarly I think AMuk would be OU had it gotten recovery too

[fading stratus]

the recovery is gluttony pinch berry

[random stream]

my trio climbed to ultra @pseudo goblet
I used clef then picked up lapras at the last stretch, one friend on decidueye and one on mamoswine

Mewtwo Y feels way worse than X, we're happy to actually see Y.

Gardevoir deals crazy damage and feels stronger than Y most of the time

[pseudo goblet]

yo thats amazing

[random stream]

yeah I'll admit we started winning a lot more when I used lapras

[pseudo goblet]

meanwhile im still in veteran lmao

Defender good

[random stream]

[fading stratus]

zane getting carried by good players

[pseudo goblet]

heh, more like the opposite

at least less than half of the time

its amazing when your team actually knows what to do, and not needing a swine to pick up their mistake and win for them...

The only weird thing to me is how I dropped Zeraora for so long already and Mamo still not having the most match played

[pseudo goblet]

tbf, yeah, i used to play with my friend who did been playing MOBA, heck he was kinda the reason i main Mamo, him doing the naruto run weeb greninja and me defending him, its my only time being in Master rank cause we play three times a day

[fading stratus]

ah

btw zane don't mind me asking but do you even play ygo

[pseudo goblet]

nope

at least not now, unlike when i first join i do have the computer to play Edopro or whatever now

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

why ya ask

[fading stratus]

well this is a ygo server

so I was just asking

:p

[pseudo goblet]

wdym this isnt a toku and pokemon server

yeah im aware im an odd one here lol

[outer eagle]

hey dw at this rate imma stop playing ygo in a few months as well

[pseudo goblet]

took you long enough to show up in main anime season

also wow bodybuilders really like their sweets

[random stream]

will show my numbers

[pseudo goblet]

?

god damn its nice to finally see these in anime

[random stream]

uhh my battle records

[pseudo goblet]

ah, thought was your contact number lol

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

oh please Kabu give us a good Centiskorch moment... Journey did my girl dirty by just being MOTW

Ping me if we ever get leaks on Centiskorch in SV DLC dex or not

[fading stratus]

zane has more games with his third most used mon than ren combined

[pseudo goblet]

when you put it that way 😂

tbf i usually rotate between Mamo and garchomp, nothing else lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Clef is number one most used

[random stream]

[pseudo goblet]

Subtle

context, Kabu put them both into training their moves stronger, looks like Sprigatito gonna learn Razor leaf

dang, for a season that should be base on Paldea, I really like Kabu as a Gym leader than the Paldea gym leaders we seen so far

man is so chill, tho i expect him to be very passionate once in battle

My baby

[bleak pine]

Yaaaa

[pseudo goblet]

YOOOOO Fuecoco learned Flamethrower!!!

straight upgrade from Ember

[bleak pine]

aw jeez I gotta rotate the control stick to win this beam battle, hold on

[pseudo goblet]

Ohh??? Liko and hattenna episode, Liko actually gonna catch a fairy type pokemon?!

[fading stratus]

Hattereene would be a nice complement to meowscarada if they evolve

[placid junco]

Finally getting into Pokémon bank for the first time in yeare

[bleak pine]

Ayy nice

[placid junco]

Was getting things set up for my sun ghost run

I think I might import a level 1 Dhelmise I found in my Pokémon bank as my “starter”

[sleek sky]

Finch moment

[placid junco]

Erasing my original Sun save file with 300 hours on it does not feel great

But since I can do my mono ghost run on official hardware I will

Probably the last time I will do something like a monotype challenge on official hardware maybe

[placid junco]

God I forgot how Long Island 1 in sun is

[spice rivet]

As a guy who just played US and UM back to back.... ya

[outer eagle]

realistically speaking, Island 1 wasn't long at all by size standards

[placid junco]

Yeah

[outer eagle]

it's just that there are so many cutscenes

and forced tutorials

[placid junco]

It’s just you can never make more that a dozen steps before a cutscene

Scylla (Dhelmise) my proper starter has been aquired

Now some might argue that that’s way too strong a Pokémon to have as my starter

And they are right

Counterpoint: fuck you I am not waiting until the end of the game to fish up a 1% encounter

[spice rivet]

Ya this. I literally watched like a movie going through and being on autopilot

Also in US I gave myself a competitive 5/6 IV team that was fully EV trained because I wanted to turbo through that cause I just needed the Blacephalon and the Yvetal

[placid junco]

Dhelmise is a solid 200 BST higher than the “starter” I chose for the run (popplio)

[bleak pine]

Yeah, I getcha

[placid junco]

First loss was to the Grimer kid in the trainer school

[tacit sphinx]

Couldn’t you have just picked Rowlett since it evolves into a Ghost

[placid junco]

I was already planning on using a different grass ghost

And to make it harder by giving Hau incineroar eventually

[vagrant steppe]

Oh right, I forgot they give the rival the weak one

[placid junco]

Stopped my session right before the first team skull encounter

Very close to getting three new team members

Gastly, Drifloon, and Misdreavous

[sacred hatch]

R u doing a ghost type playthrough of something?

Ah, ghost in sun

[placid junco]

Ye

[bleak pine]

Ironic

[wild imp]

Gotta nerf ourselves

By not using lunala

[placid junco]

Going sun version also means I don’t have to deal with totem raticate

Which would probably be a giant fuckoff roadblock

[bleak pine]

There's always Sableye!

...Wait, no, that's not possible

Huh.

Oh yeah, Copper! You using island scan?

[spice rivet]

Also Honedge if Ialand scan is on limits

[bleak pine]

I was about to say, going to Hau'oli Cemetary on a Wednesday could have Litwick appear in Island Scan

[mighty storm]

nice

[mighty storm]

beeg fren imitating sus fren ❤️

OH and reason Im reacting to late, wifi went down around my house

ON the plus side, I found some shinies

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5JSaAqWsAANuZg?format=jpg&name=large

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F5JSdlPW8AA8Iku?format=jpg&name=large

Wifi being down was the perfect excuse to shiny hunt a little

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, not just me and bolt, creepy

Also nice shinies

[mighty storm]

ty

the dunsparce evolved into 2 segment, didnt get the extra rare one. Also almost lost the second one to double edge

saved in front, sacrificed rest of the sandwich for pink snek

[placid junco]

i don't think I've ever used island scan for anything

[bleak pine]

It's super cool, but ultimately, only the end result is cool

Just scanning QR codes isn't too flashy

[spice rivet]

Ya, its how I got my Kingdra for my UM run

Also a bunch of old starters are available whic is rad, even the Gen 6 ones

[tacit sphinx]

So how is Gen 9 OU rn

[fading stratus]

just wait like 9 days to get into pokemon

we'll be having a lot of new mons

[tacit sphinx]

Is it fun
