after adding litten

Sprigatito, Litten, Shinx, Meowth makes 4, any others?

[crimson moat]

Yeah this is more or less Colress’s whole personality in BW2 as well

He uses Team Plasma to suit his needs

It’s also his naming, whereas you have the whole BW truths/ideals motif that drives the player vs N, he literally doesn’t give a damn about taking a side other than to do what he wants. Hence colorless

[pseudo goblet]

I keep forgetting that’s the idea for his name lol

[spice rivet]

Big jelly, my only 2 are awful rip

But I did also manage to get this today which is pretty poggers as the kids say

[pseudo goblet]

So it is kinda an event, tbf they really were everywhere, Onix too

[spice rivet]

Ya, though im happy I have a spare to send to home at least

Shitpost FSG best FSG lmaooo

[ashen barn]

Game, when I said "I need a bulky ground type for Elesa", I would have been satisfied with a sandshrew

Shiny 31 HP Evs Sand Stream hippo with slack off and stealth rock

[warm sky]

Based

[ashen barn]

Well, now I know what will carry the elesa fight

Not to mention, I also have...adamant ursaring. Following Ursaluna's steps, ursaring is now normal ground. And mine has quick feet. It's a monster of a mon capable of tearing a new one to anything in sight.

Issue being, it's still slow even with quick feet and doesn't take well at all the close combat zebstrika got in this mod

[obsidian juniper]

chat, i think i have found my team for the elite 4

[ashen barn]

oh god

Is this Renegade Plat?

Because if so, watch out for the infernape and scizor with close combat and superpower

[obsidian juniper]

Its normal plat

There are 3 fighting type moves

Ig ill take a driftblim or smth

[ashen barn]

Yeah, sounds about right

Drifblim isn't half bad at all, it can really set up on its counters and then sweep

I used it in my plat run, a bit unfortunate it wasn't another encounter at the beginning, but proved quickly to be insane

[obsidian juniper]

Ghost flying is a bit of a nuts typing

[ashen barn]

A shame for its stats

[obsidian juniper]

Speaking of setup, idt my baton pass team will come together as well as id hoped

[ashen barn]

It doesn't hit as much as you want to, doesn't tank as much as you think

[obsidian juniper]

Calm mind is only available past elite 4

[ashen barn]

Oh, yeah

[obsidian juniper]

I only have like

[ashen barn]

Well, sword dance is feasible

And that's also good

[obsidian juniper]

Minimize/agility and then whatever i turn evee into

And sd in game corner yeah

[ashen barn]

Vaporeon with acid armor

Actual Bp strategy and solid mon

[obsidian juniper]

I think the other eveelutions also have specific one

s

[ashen barn]

Only vaporeon gets acid armor

Every eeveelution has bp

Either it or jolteon with offensive bp

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/0uFop3qqFHU

that finale was CRAZY

[obsidian juniper]

yeah i was wrong, i just looked at leafeon and jolteon, who get swords dance and agility respectively

and i just assumed that ws a pattern

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/Z9MP-Wh_Ips

[warm sky]

not watching, tl;dw?

[mighty storm]

SWSH gave us an answer, Wailord is not lighter then air

[warm sky]

.... it's not?

[snow oasis]

For Charizard in Gen 3, should I go with Overheat, Fire Blast, or Blast Burn for the 4th moveslot? First 3 are already Flamethrower, Wing Attack, and Dragon Claw

[warm sky]

fire blast tbh?

[bleak pine]

Overheat if you want a quick and easy finisher of sorts

But Fire Blast is fine too

[ashen barn]

First the shiny hippo, now this...

[warm sky]

[spice rivet]

2nd Galarian Articuno in Go! 3rd Galarian Bird encounter in total

[mighty storm]

yup

@pseudo goblet @fading stratus PURPLE FISH HUNTING TIME

[mighty storm]

wrong side tho for the spawn trick

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/0qL3HFkPZbw

[pseudo goblet]

You didn’t get it?

[mighty storm]

didnt, the hunt works better when it spawns in the other pool (though I did try)

[fading stratus]

finally

[mighty storm]

well finally,-ish

I did see a lot of feebas (no purples) but I couldnt get the spawn in right pool working cuz I got the left pool outbreak

so at least I know Im not cursed to never seeing feebas outbreaks

[fading stratus]

awww next time ig

[mighty storm]

lets hope next time is better

[pseudo goblet]

Anybody know what this is about? Codename?

[fading stratus]

probably

looker is a codename too

[mighty storm]

https://i.imgflip.com/810ifk.jpg

hoping for that shiny next time

[pseudo goblet]

For once, Faba isn’t the villain of the plot lmfao

Innocent and framed even

[mighty storm]

and now for an username change

[pseudo goblet]

Pfft

[sleek sky]

Man 1337speak in current year
100kr = lookr

[fading stratus]

honestly hope a game expands more on looker lore

and international police as a whole

[pseudo goblet]

Oh that’s cool

Also btw, Looker had a meal together with Chairman Rose in Masters Canon

[fading stratus]

I'll never consider masters as cannon

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

This universe is wild af

Intentional-posing for a screenshot lol

[fading stratus]

lmao

[pseudo goblet]

So far the goes like villain arcs

Team Rocket is the most evil

Magma and Aqua was far from willingly doing bad things, used by Team Rocket even

Cyrus continue to be questionable, motherfucker wants to stay in Darkrai nightmares

Plasma kidnaps Hugh and N and the story with those two are quite nice

Team Rocket was framing Team Flare, until pretty sure Lysandre had Volcanion killed off the Rocket grunt

Half of Aether foundation went rogue and side with Team Rocket

Dealing with Rose rn

[fading stratus]

honestly watching the 4 episodes series forgot name made me somewhat sympathetic towards giovanni lmao

was it origins idk

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-origins-rhydon-hitmonlee-giovanni-red-gif-14485274

[fading stratus]

tho it did dirty and didn't give red bulbasaur

adventures red was iconic

[pseudo goblet]

Apparently this Rose wasn’t arrested, must’ve been alternate universe from the Galar main characters

Damn it Hoopa

[fading stratus]

rose was just weird in games

"the power supply will die in 1000s of years so it's totally fine for me to summon a 1100+ bst pokemon"

1125

[pseudo goblet]

Theory was correct

Not gonna lie, I expected this arc to be, all teams doing their own evil scheme, but it’s just mostly Team Rocket’s doing and other team being reasonably nice within villain-standard

And Rose starting to shows sign of him interested in ‘energy’ again

Yup, we lost this one as well

[fading stratus]

[spice rivet]

Still the most infuriating part to me is the fact that in canon, specifically XY and ORAS they point out that there is a LITERAL source of infinite energy with the Energy from a modofied process that Azs Ultimate Weapon used without any Pokemon sacrifices either

[pseudo goblet]

Once again, this game is wild, having these three together

OI!!! YOU DONT GET TO SAY IT!!

Not even Leon have said it himself during this chapter!! Shame on you!

Which is nice detail him not saying it, since he’s wearing he’s postgame outfit

[maiden flax]

Tbf
XY and ORAS are megaverse and im pretty sure SWSH isnt?

[pseudo goblet]

honestly ogerpon grew so much on me

[pseudo goblet]

Gee, I wonder if DonBro had anything to do with that

[fading stratus]

no

it didn't

I really don't like oni sister that much

[pseudo goblet]

Didn’t touch my Switch for weeks now and the internet made me love Ogerpon so much already

[fading stratus]

have you played the dlc

[pseudo goblet]

Nope

[fading stratus]

figured as much

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, Ogrepon fire mask makes her Grass Fire type right

[fading stratus]

grass fire

changes the ability to mold breaker

basically grass mask is key item other 3 masks are held items

so ogerpon is basically grass mask default

teras are locked

[mighty storm]

yep

[fading stratus]

but gets buffed when tera'd on a special stat because ability changes when tera'd

[mighty storm]

making her the second grass/fire type

[pseudo goblet]

Nice, I just hope they get on with it and give us bug dragon already

[fading stratus]

maybe we'll get more ogerpon masks

that change types

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

lando missed the cut by 0.013

[outer eagle]

no longer King of OU, but still OU

[fading stratus]

still bonkers in doubles tho

[sleek sky]

IT'S GARCHOVER

what really hurts me is seeing Cloddy boi drop to UU

time to become a UU player

[fading stratus]

next month after lan t drops

[crimson moat]

we're backalibur

[void herald]

wait is garchomp seriously not ou anymore

crazy

[tacit sphinx]

Why did Blissey skyrocket

[obsidian juniper]

i was crazy once

they put me in a trick room

[warm sky]

iirc people try to use it as a bloodmoon counter, but it's from what I heard just a noob trap

[tacit sphinx]

The funny one is that Lando almost dropped

[void herald]

bruh

[tacit sphinx]

Lando T is 4.6% usage

[void herald]

i never thought i'd see the day where the funny genie of healthy meta isn't meta

[warm sky]

Gliscor and Great Tusk are basically his greatest competition for the ground role

it's funny to think that Empoleon is now actually OU though

[harsh path]

Can I get proof on this. Is my first and favourite starter actually OU now?

No fucking way

NO FUCKING WAY!

HOW?

[warm sky]

so basically

they gave it competetive over defiant

and iirc defog

[harsh path]

The first part is the funniest shit

It took Competitive to make Emps competitive

I am so happy rn

I mean, I don't think it will stay OU, but it has a niche

[vagrant steppe]

Had a dream about a weird new legendary that I'm wondering if they'd be good or not

They were a normal type with an Arceus mechanic, but their ability only worked if your team was mono-type. It also gave your whole team beast boost if they're mono-type tho

So say your team was 5 fighting types and it. They'd all get beast boost and it'd become a fighting type

[placid junco]

i mean the beast boost part is probably busted

but I think the other part is probably fine

[vagrant steppe]

The other part would make it useless

The question is is there a good enough mono-type team you can build for VGC/OU that justifies it?

[placid junco]

probably ground type

[vagrant steppe]

I was thinking it's gotta be ground or grass yeah

[placid junco]

shell smash grassy glide torterra with beast boost lmao

[vagrant steppe]

Landorous-T, Garchomp, Great Tusk, Torterra, I dunno Gastrodon? this dude

[placid junco]

either gastrodon or gliscor

maybe Clodsire

[vagrant steppe]

Oh Ursaluna

[placid junco]

oh right

[vagrant steppe]

I guess Ground is probably your best bet for this guy

[placid junco]

ursaluna with beast boost sounds scary

[vagrant steppe]

The issue is you lose coverage super hard

[placid junco]

i think you can probably get decent coverage for most things with a mono ground team

[vagrant steppe]

True. Now the question is is he good in any other team?

I don't think you can make any other type work as easily

Maybe Grass

[placid junco]

water could make it work

100%

[vagrant steppe]

Oh true

Okay yeah I guess this guy would be good

[placid junco]

fire and steel as well probably

i think poison and bug are like
the only two types it wouldn't really work with

[vagrant steppe]

Dark and Ghost would struggle

I guess Dark gets Urshifu at least

[placid junco]

steel might in gen 9

ice is probably fine enough now that aurora veil ninetales is back

electric might not be easy tbh

wait

fire will be fine

beast boost Chi yu

[random stream]

Water and Fairy

[outer eagle]

mono Poison

Amogus will carry trust

[placid junco]

i mean beast boost iron moth might be kinda scary

[fading stratus]

poison has some utility mons ig

[placid junco]

drapion ain't bad

[fading stratus]

glimmora

clod/globro

[outer eagle]

Water at least has Rain HO

[placid junco]

[outer eagle]

is there even a Rock Trick Room user

[fading stratus]

stakakakakaka

[placid junco]

solrock or lunatone i think

[fading stratus]

again stakatakaka is the best rock TR user

rock does have tyranitar ig

sand baby

[outer eagle]

the Sp.Def boost would save me trust

[fading stratus]

diancie ig

[placid junco]

i thought they were asking about rock types that could set trick room

[fading stratus]

stakakaka learns TR, yes

[outer eagle]

that's just a more specific question in relation to Rock's viability tbf

mostly cuz Coalossal might do something

[fading stratus]

coal pult was funny in doubles

one of the better core for early swsh

pult can surf then coal goes +6 speed +2 spA

[placid junco]

i guess shift gear beast boost revavroom might be funny

[fading stratus]

mono fire actually has decent stuff

mono flying can play all 4 genies of healthy meta

[outer eagle]

Talonflame + 3 main genies

[fading stratus]

gliscor is flying

and corviknight

[outer eagle]

is Corv good in VGC

[fading stratus]

it was playable back in reg 2

[outer eagle]

Talonflame, 3 Genies, Gyarados

what's the final member

[fading stratus]

celesteela

you probably play something else over talon too

torn already provides priority tailwind

[outer eagle]

but does it provide priority Brave Bird

[fading stratus]

yeah with that i wanna say 70? atk

[outer eagle]

hey that was enough for my man in OU

and it's 80 ATK iirc

[fading stratus]

oh its 81

[outer eagle]

which was not great, but still fine

[fading stratus]

74 is the SpA

[fading stratus]

was it pre nerf

[outer eagle]

yes

[fading stratus]

talonflame was best tailwind setter in doubles before torn ig

[outer eagle]

tbh Talon has enough utility in Brave Bird and Wisp to be worth even despite the Tailwind overlap

[fading stratus]

thundurus provides priority eerie impulse/taunt/thunder wave already tho

[outer eagle]

these don't completely overlap tbf

in either case we need to even see what better options there are ig

[fading stratus]

like d nite, mence

if restricted rayquaza

or yveltal

[outer eagle]

Dnite could be nice

[fading stratus]

there's also g moltres

[sharp kernel]

g moltres is nice

[outer eagle]

hilariously we've strayed quite far from the original discussion topic now that i think about it

[sharp kernel]

I just don't like how frail g moltres is

I've tried to make him work

[fading stratus]

g moltres isn't that frail tbh

[outer eagle]

initially it was supposed to be a theoretical idea of a legendary that gives your entire team Beast Boost if the whole team is monotype

[fading stratus]

how would it work in doubles tho

like do you only need 4 mono or all 6

[outer eagle]

probably all 6 according to the initial specifications

actually 5/6

[fading stratus]

but you only take 4 to battle tho

[outer eagle]

you just check the team at the start

[fading stratus]

ig then you do need 5

honestly flying looks promising

[outer eagle]

realistically tho with that idea i can see things going very wrong with mono-Normal and Slaking

[fading stratus]

they shoulda made slaking being able to slack off in truant turns

[outer eagle]

they did make it able to Truant on recharge turns so there's that ig

did allow it to be OU a bit in gen 3

[fading stratus]

mono dragon looks promising if you're willing to ignore fairy

mono water actually

just dondozo

[sharp kernel]

Regidrago is broken

[fading stratus]

regidrago is okay

needs a good team and player to make it work tho

[outer eagle]

speaking of Regis, i saw this

[mighty storm]

blue that's a GOOD shiny for it

[bleak pine]

Shiny colorations that swap out one primary color for an entirely different one are always pretty nice

Like say, Bisharp for instance

[mighty storm]

gonna go do my 60 defeated then save, will shiny hunt it later

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemongo/images/f/f1/Ducklett_shiny.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20220516183448

there is a good day spawn for it near kitakami hall

with the occasional cramorant

the new series of hunts, before it was a whole lot of pink shinies+a few paradoxes. Now for the water types

[fading stratus]

how many shinies have you gotten total

among mons in the dex

[mighty storm]

lemme check

we counting just kitakami?

[fading stratus]

sure

[mighty storm]

ok from kitakami (as in obtained after teal mask release): Sandshrew, sandslash, slither wing, great tusk, cleffa, nosepass, furret, scream tail, johtonian wooper, jangmo-o, poochyena, spinarak, glimorra, noctowl, slugma, buizel, magikarp, and wugtrio

thats 18

and no I didnt count the sandshrew twice, I just have 2 of them

The issue with the water type hunts (as much as they are my babies 💖 there is no bad water type) can be summarized with their habitat

summer's baby

[mighty storm]

Water types spawn in water, sometimes this means they dive (or the veluza's slam into me) but more commonly it means a water sandwich attracts ALL of em

[mighty storm]

Bruxish is a hard one to love, but they have a cool typing

[fading stratus]

bruxish is like playable competitively ig
it topped a latam event

[mighty storm]

I actually went away from the outbreak cuz someone told me a better spawn location that has way more wugtrios, which was worth cuz the outbreak spot was giving me too much of the others

the bonus of which, the other spot spawns a lot of both mons in the wugtrio line 😮 so was a dual hunt for golden eel fren or blue eel fren

Isle of Armor Sharpedo and this are the same image

[pseudo goblet]

They just can’t leave me alone

[fading stratus]

veluza coulda been so much more

[pseudo goblet]

There are currently 2 available

This Timed Research, and one permanent Research thing from Professor Willow.

They cannot be bought either at this time

@fading stratus Let's start with strong 2-3 team cores and go from there

[fading stratus]

like rilaboom ogerpon fire

first thing I thought is rilabboom Ogerpon fire paired with lando T for intimidate and iron hands

second would be flutter chi yu or bundle chi yu paired with ogerpon

urshifu chien pao should be good too

[harsh path]

Chi Yu’s back?

[fading stratus]

double intimidate + hands should be okay too

[fading stratus]

doubles

[harsh path]

oh

Forgive my OU brain

[fading stratus]

half the mons I mentioned are probably banned in OU

flutter, bundle, chi yu, chien pao, ogerpon fire, urshifu

[bleak pine]

You'd think Professor Oak would know better by now!

[random stream]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1959979468-tavwe0cftzwmpcxyys5yy1trrb8o8o0pw

Rillaboom

[sharp kernel]

Alright so let’s start with Rillaboom + pon

Immediate weaknesses and strengths

[fading stratus]

weakness intimidate so we can pair it with kingambit

or y'know urshifu

[sharp kernel]

I don’t like kingambit for this, let’s keep urshifu as a consideration

What single Pokémon threatens fire pon/rillaboom the most

[spice rivet]

Torkoal remains cracked

Even vs Torkoal lmao

[fading stratus]

tera flying lan t

or even arcanine h

[sharp kernel]

Alright, so let’s look at our options here, first I would want to check if there’s an intimidate user that checks both lan t and arcanine h

[fading stratus]

lan t

[sharp kernel]

Arcanine h head smash doesn’t ko it?

[fading stratus]

you're already threatened by scarf tantrum

idt head smash is even played in arcanine h nowadays

moveset is super tight

[sharp kernel]

Tbh I don’t see why not, even if head smash trades, you would usually be trading favorably

[mighty storm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gE-Mzcd2lI

[fading stratus]

you need flare blitz extreme speed and tera fairy tera blast 4th move is between rock slide or head smash and you'd almost always play slide

[fading stratus]

realistically thugs best lan t counter is probably bundle

[sharp kernel]

I was high key thinking a ninetales + bundle core tbh

it's just a better abomasnow + bundle

and that saw success

and snow is kinda busted

my issue with snow teams is how difficult it is to actually round them out

alright so A ninetales + Bundle + iron hands is a must I think

[fading stratus]

I have no idea how you'd build snow tbh

have to see some teams to get an idea

[sharp kernel]

rn I'm thinking a ninetales + bundle + iron hands + palafin/dondozo

[fading stratus]

just run urshifu at that point

swords dance urshifu

[sharp kernel]

I think, this is a better 5 to try out

I hate to triple up on ice types, but I think Chien Pao is the logical 6th

maybe I just don't play pon at all

That gives me Chien Pao + Arcanine leads or Alolan Ninetales + Iron Bundle options

Okay, let's try this again, this is the 4

Realistically, my options are chien pao

For real???

[fading stratus]

yes unless I'm misremembering

[sharp kernel]

I feel like sitrus berry iron hands limits the last 2 slots for me way more. And idt I want to go double ice types + h arcanine, something about that just feels off

[fading stratus]

banded H Arcanine really good

even if you wanna use AV on hands

sitrus swords dance Hands is probably my fav hands

especially on aurora veil you can setup

[warm sky]

(I don't actually care for the songs)

[fading stratus]

smh hater

[sharp kernel]

We also want flexibility though, and I feel like sitrus berry iron hands would be very one note

[fading stratus]

mayhaps

also play specs ninetales trust

I've seen that shit do actual damage

[sharp kernel]

I’m undecided on the items/spreads for A ninetales yet, I cooked till like 4am yesterday

[fading stratus]

common choice would be clay/sash

if you go sash you can just max speed max spa

[sharp kernel]

So hear me out here

[fading stratus]

clay probably needs some def investments

[sharp kernel]

Clay bundle

[fading stratus]

clay bundle could work but any item on bundle that isntr speed booster feels so wrong

[sharp kernel]

My thinking is, if we go clay bundle, then that opens up mane for us

[fading stratus]

the idea is i'd assume gyarados, volc and sinistcha can all setup under veil

and like say the non snow core is probably really good too

[sharp kernel]

So the immediate issue ig I see here is, let’s say we need to pivot from an A ninetales lead, are we going gyarados + sinistcha? Seems kinda eh to me

You’re also prob never bringing ninetales in the back also

[fading stratus]

you don't need to

specs ninetales bundle also does like bonkers damage

you can also realistically just bundle + volc and icy wind + quiver dance or sth
or like sinistcha volc and rage powder quiver or calm mind quiver

PokéTsume (literal translation: Fill Your Pocket With Adventure) follows the story of Madoka Akagi who followed her dream to Tokyo and started working for an advertising agency. Realising Tokyo isn’t quite the sparkling lifestyle it was made out to be, she finds solace in a package sent from her mother containing her GameBoy and copy of Pokémon Red. Valuable lessons in life start to unfold as Madoka plays the game again for the first time in 20 years.

[fading stratus]

[ashen barn]

This slimy bastard almost knocked umbreon out

[pseudo goblet]

Welp… this team looks bad…

Yup we lost

[shut loom]

100%ed both Pokemon and Warriors w/ Perfect Links on Conquest Reconquered. The Warriors bit is usually a pain in the ass, but the mod let the rare Pokemon spawn in Lv3 areas instead of just sitting and waiting for random swarms and/or gathering all the warriors that need a certain Pokemon and using Passwords.
Overall, the difficullty spike in the base story was kinda ludicrous, but the side stories also had a minor buff but nothing having fully evolved mons couldn't just roll over, same as base Conquest. The one time I felt everything was scaled well was literally the last story where everyone was buffed to have fully evolved mons, but now that I got the 2 most broken legendaries at the tailend of this, replaying this story will prob be easy mode again.

Downloaded 2 other mods as well. Going to play Ultimate first. Apparently, the creator also saw the main balance issue of Conquest - You having fully evolved Pokemon after the base story but your opponents not scaling until the literal last story and was like, we will simply kill all the NFEs and replace them with new fully evolved mons.

[mighty storm]

you should totally transfer that up to PLA and evolve it 😮

[ashen barn]

It's a nuzlocke.

I even killed it.

Welp, I found the run killer.

I have a rapid spin blastoise to reasonably handle nidoqueen and that's about it

This lineup is brutal, and the game doesn't allow access to boosting moves or weather moves or weather abilities but sand up to this point.

I have a stacked box, and so far 0 deaths, thanks to a pretty busted regenerator slowbro, but...

I was thinking blastoise handle queen 1v1, then nidoking comes in.
I have 0 answers for it.

My issue is that I have nothing that can take it out even in 2 shots. They made king extra bulky.

Holding down normal attacks=fast af sections of attacks is so op, afaik Garchomp and CInderace has those

[pseudo goblet]

Also yeah... they are hard... no filtering pros or noobs is annoying...

when you team has the latter 💀

[sharp kernel]

@fading stratus normal spreads for sinistcha?

[fading stratus]

depends what you wanna achieve tbh
normal spread would be 252 hp 252spA

if you're running defensive you probably run enough def to survive a tera flying lando tera blast and/or chien pao icicle crash if you're running speed probably like get 95 speed to outrun most hands and such

haven't done maths tho

so idk exact spreads

[sharp kernel]

ended up cutting it, it doesn't do what I need it to do

I think A Ninetales + Chien Pao + Iron Bundle is prob correct

[fading stratus]

just wait for tomorrow to see what format looks like

tomorrow is first reg e regs

then we can lab depending on format

[mighty storm]

Im gonna do a shiny hunting challenge but I need help finding mons for each shiny (this is a 5 shiny hunt!)

specifically targets

[fading stratus]

feebas

[mighty storm]

The shinies need to match these 4 colors (plus one more being white)

the orange one is easy pick, cramorant is a nice orange color

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shiny-pokemon/images/9/91/Cramorant.png/revision/latest?cb=20220518140038

the dark orange would be tougher, pink has plenty to pick from, not sure if there is a magenta shiny?

[fading stratus]

@sharp kernel what's your showdown name

[pseudo goblet]

Is Zamazenta an option? Lol

[mighty storm]

shiny locked 😥 plus even if it wasn't I have Pokemon sword.

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/tsukasa-kadoya-kamen-rider-zio-kamen-rider-decade-its-not-pink-its-magenta-kamen-rider-gif-24811487

Can’t help myself lol, this KR meme is just too good

[pseudo goblet]

Rip

Funny how we have the same games for two generations

[mighty storm]

wait, I think I found a magenta shiny

in terms of targets

counts?

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda looks red velvet to me

[mighty storm]

google says magenta guess I can count it

not allowing double dips though, so ice sneasel (a light pink) cant be the light pink

[pseudo goblet]

The same google that created ‘Salamance Type’ lmao

[mighty storm]

OH easy for light pink

https://www.serebii.net/Shiny/SV/new/148.png

need a new one anyways cuz I evolved the dratini to a dragonite

so thats cramorant (orange), dragonair (light pink), and weavile (magenta), just need white and a darker orange

[pseudo goblet]

They made the orbs reflects light?

[pseudo goblet]

Is shroomish in the game?

Or not dark enough

[mighty storm]

believe shroomish is in yes

yeah shroomish is in

https://www.serebii.net/Shiny/SWSH/285.png

the swsh model, lemme check the scarlet model

[pseudo goblet]

Looks brown almost lol

[mighty storm]

Looks dark enough yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Those mushroom-shape chocolate treat from Japan

[mighty storm]

ok so thats in order of the colors: Shroomish, cramorant, no white picked, dragonair, and weavile

[pseudo goblet]

I can’t think of any white shiny except eevee or Tatsugiri

[mighty storm]

https://www.serebii.net/Shiny/SWSH/877.png

Morpeko, but would need a violet player to let me into their world to hunt it

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right 😅

What about this gu- oh wait he’s not in SV nvm

[mighty storm]

wait 😮 isnt vikavolt a white shiny?

https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/home/shiny/vikavolt.png

Yeah they are!

[pseudo goblet]

OH FUCK YES!!!

silver maybe in SV model design but that works

[mighty storm]

Alright so that settles the 5: Shroomish, cramorant, vikavolt, dragonair, and weavile

[random stream]

he was +6 but I had unaware

best paradox

[maiden flax]

Tony moth friend

[fading stratus]

slither wing always reminds me of the funni song I heard somewhere

forgot where

[spice rivet]

damn looking back, I dont think I would change much except but Crystal over HGSS

[fading stratus]

i'd be biased towards frlg because those were my first games

muh nostalgia

[sharp kernel]

Hey bolt, just the guy I was looking for

[fading stratus]

hej

[sharp kernel]

do we have a stream for the regionals?

or is that tomorrow

[fading stratus]

tomorrow

[sharp kernel]

also

I would personally put the gen 4 games all the way at the bottom

[fading stratus]

plat was good

a tier

[crimson moat]

HGSS still has all the problems of gen 2, but at least it has some of plat's good stuff and pokeathlon

I don't think you can justify plat being outside top 3

Grouping all of a gen's games together is also a bad take

[fading stratus]

its not that plat was good
other games were bad

[spice rivet]

Same actually

[fading stratus]

also this

[crimson moat]

Like grouping all of a gen together is how you get the ridiculous range of statements on gen 4 and 5, when in reality BW2 and Plat are S tier

[spice rivet]

Ya, thas why i prefer ranking the individual games

[crimson moat]

Gen 1 and 2 are the only gens where grouping everything together is even close to an ok idea.
Namely just Gen 1

If PLA didn't exist I would also say it would have been ok to group gen 8

[fading stratus]

in the f tier that is

SwSh were so bad

[spice rivet]

Iirc this was pre SwSh, post Dexit news

[fading stratus]

never played let's go but the catching for exp mechanic sounds so bad

[crimson moat]

I had a roomate who picked up Let's Go because he was really into Pokemon Go and needed something to fill the void after leaving college. We were fresh out of college working full time so the demographic changed wildly for Pokemon Go.

He put down Let's Go in 30 minutes because he realized how much Pokemon Go was the socializing experience

And found Let's Go really boring when all you do is the catching part.

[fading stratus]

how had i never realised lets go is based on go

So we might get ||Exeggcute and Falinks later||

The only downside of this romhack with this patch is that the ORAS megas aren't available as sprites

It literally crashes the entire system

[pseudo goblet]

Now I wanna check out this hood thing

[random stream]

[ashen barn]

Still playable though, and I am hyped to see exactly how a good 6th gen looks like without the hyper-focus on difficulty (played wilting Y)

Wilting Y was...underwhelming. I went in expecting a good experience. What I got was a flat level increase, everything perfectly competitive, and every psychic type ever with magic guard.

And 0 changes in story or items or anything else

champion at lv100, wooooo
yeah, but what about the damn megalucario with iron head about to eviscerate the entire team

Remind me why Sicamore for a very underwhelming start

Goddammit

There's now an invisible grass patch in the first town. AND IF YOU WALK THERE WITHOUT A POKÉMON, THIS HAPPENS.

[mighty storm]

huh

[mighty storm]

outbreak check for the day

Kitakami: cutiefly, Kirlia, slugma (and clefairy event)
Paldea: Houndoom, floatzel, tarantoula, fidough (and clefairy event)

[ashen barn]

So, turns out Ancestral X has its own AI

*Perish song:

• 1st move
• user has a trapping ability
• target isn't ghost
• target doesn't have shed shell*

That's a "YOU ARE DEAD" button

The AI is basically low ladder showdown and more

Not a fan usually but seeing Gastrodon is still very nice

I mean
Now I have the image of Cynthia squishing my character before the champion fight...and flooring me

[long stone]

how do we feel about ||gen 5 remakes||

||I have heard that they will be the same as the old ones content wise||

would that succ ?

[mighty storm]

depends if it's BDSP style or Legends

[long stone]

||the leaks seems to be saying mixed messages, either faithful adaptation or BW3||

[mighty storm]

||"Original soup original taste" yeah, which could either mean faithful remakes/"BW3". Or the game is "original" in that it is its own new thing||

and I genuinely got no clue

[long stone]

unless it means... ||the original dragon||

[mighty storm]

yeah thats another possibility

[bleak pine]

Leakers are bleh

I say we just wait 'n see

[mighty storm]

The datamine leak though has be extra excited

Been playing with this team a lot. I like a lot of it, but I def think Ill build it my self with Regular Arcanine over Hisuian. Team has a big problem with Iron Hands atm

Also been loving MatchaGotcha.mon. it kind of disgusting the amount of staying power it has.

[fading stratus]

tera fairy harcanine should check hands

[spice rivet]

This one is Tera Grass

[fading stratus]

ah

[spice rivet]

Ye, Ill have to see if get a similar stat spread is feasible too

[fading stratus]

I really haven't labbed much I'm just waiting for regs today to see how the meta develops to lab a team

[spice rivet]

Im def not a team builder, nor a great player, but Ive managed to get Master Ball every month so far.

[fading stratus]

ah

dwai neither am I :p

just looked at the team its sitrus harcanine? neat

[spice rivet]

But today my like last win was silly.

Its my Empoleon + Matcha (Both Low)

vs his Empoleon + Low Hp Tera Steel Kommo-o + Flutter in the back (I did not know)

and he's Icy Winded me twice so Im at +4. He knew I had Vacuum wave so he switches out Kommo-o for Flutter, but I Vacuum Waved his Empoleon for the KO and use Cha to set up Trick Room and reverse sweeped him lmaooooooo

[fading stratus]

neat

tho i'd expect vacuum wave on empoleon over kommo o just because empoleon can't protect if on vest

[spice rivet]

Tbh even the Sitrus has been lacking. I just find a lot of time its either dead or at high enough HP where it doesnt matter.

I think Reg Arcanine with Flare Blitz, Psychic Fang (Due to all the A Tales atm), E Speed, Protect holding Lefties might feel better.

[fading stratus]

I like hisuian with either vest or banded with flare blitz, rock slide, e speed tera fairy blast

[spice rivet]

Man, Vest Arcanine is so nice. Empoleon has the Vest on this team and honestly its disgusting some of the stuff its survived even outside of Aurora Veil

[fading stratus]

if you're playing regular sitrus arcanine you can probably play defensive snarl howl set

[spice rivet]

Also the Knock Off on Roaring Moon, even as a suicide lead of sorts has been pretty good.

[fading stratus]

i don't like how frail moon is tbh

its good but like it dies to hands drain punch

[spice rivet]

Ya, thats been one problem with it. But its been great for baiting out Intimidators for the Empoleon boosts

[fading stratus]

seeing empoleon people might also leave out intimidators

that's why I was saying kingambit is good in rilaboom firepon core to thugs a few days back
