well the obvious clue would be her ace

#

if you really wanna theorize

#

they woulda specified 2

placid junco
#

shrug

i haven't even played teal mask i just saw a funny tweet and figured i'd bring it up

fading stratus
#

wow

#

and I thought you caught calyrex in teal mask

placid junco
#

no i'm playing crown tundra finally

#

because i decided to finally get my $30 worth out of the SWSH pass

vagrant steppe
#

Wait that doesn't make sense tho?

bleak pine
#

Oh man, I found a Duraludon

#

...Ok, the way it uses Flash Cannon is very funny

#

Just

#

Readies itself to fire it off, it's mouth is closed while it builds up to it and then

#

POP

The lid that is its mouth flings open

fading stratus
#

yes

cloud scaffold
#

it’s looking horrible bolts

bleak pine
#

I might not even evolve Duraludon, considering I can probably give it the Evolite and have it become absurdly hard to hurt seriously

cloud scaffold
#

also my round 1 was vs justin burns

#

and my round 2 was vs some guy with 40k subs

#

Lol

#

I knew I recognized the name justin burns but wasn’t positive

vagrant steppe
# warm sky how?

||Why would she go to school in Paldes if her family is from Galar? She's in the wrong league. And she just kinda doesn't look anything like them||

#

Like I guess it's not impossible, but it definitely feels forced

warm sky
#

||Like it's mentioned when she got expelled she went back to Galar||

vagrant steppe
#

||Did we?||

#

||Ohhh||

pseudo goblet
#

@fading stratus so what percentage of part 1 am I at reaching the third sign?

warm sky
#

||Plus she's also named after the Peony flower lmao||

vagrant steppe
#

||I guess I can see it, it just feels like a weird connection||

keep an eye on kieran

and carmine

#

Kieran: hope the ogre can move in my house

My chara: when can I move in

Ayo KEKW KEKW KEKW

#

Now the festival invite feels like an anime date invite

#

WHATS WITH ALL THESE SUS DIALOGUES, OR IS MY BRAIN REALLY TOO DAMN DIRTY

#

Huh, Carmine has a Morpeko, how fitting

warm sky
pseudo goblet
pseudo goblet
vagrant steppe
#

It's ban speedrun time

#

Place your bets, who's getting banned first here

#

My money is on Deoxys, but Terapagos is batshit too

pseudo goblet
#

And I can’t even go into Kieran and Carmine’s house, why SV…

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah this mon is insane

golden lance
#

Wait why the fuck is deoxys-S in ou?

vagrant steppe
#

Clerical error

#

Honestly? It's a mistake and it shouldn't be there

#

They wanted to try it this gen

#

It's too good

golden lance
#

Last gen's ou is this gen's uu

#

This gen's ou is this gen's uu

#

Last gen's ubers is this gen's ou

bleak pine
#

Aw man, they included the Coaching TM

vagrant steppe
#

Honestly

#

This is an Ubers team

bleak pine
#

Does this still work as it did in Sword/Shield?

#

Everyone benefits?

pseudo goblet
#

Okay so Kieran becomes nice after seeing Ogrepon, odd

cloud scaffold
#

@fading stratus man I feel terrible. round 1 I got unlucky so was like whatever. round 2 and 3 I played vs rogue teams and just didn’t know what they did so I lost. worst i’ve ever done at any event ever

#

should’ve just played yugioh

#

so sad

vagrant steppe
#

Terapagos sweep

#

Terramillion more years in OU

mighty storm
#

@pseudo goblet @fading stratus Look who I found

pseudo goblet
#

Wait she’s roaming?

mighty storm
#

The steps are so weird, you have to go to a specific spot in the coastal biome where leaves are swirling like a tornado, have your music all the way up, spin clockwise for 10-20 seconds, go to camera and stare at a specific rock and make the filter sepia, wait to hear her sing, then pan around to see her

vagrant steppe
#

The best answer to Terapagos is Terapagos lmao

mighty storm
#

she comes at level 70, and has the fighting tera type

#

New mew under a truck level of steps

sharp kernel
#

Rillaboom with the 40% rep @fading stratus

bleak pine
#

Just gonna ask; what could be a good time to try out a union circle gathering?

pseudo goblet
#

Also wow DLC really just wants you running around 3 sectors of the map huh

bleak pine
#

Ok i just caught a Rhypherior in a raid

#

It is friggin' ginormous

#

Seriously, it makes my Duraludon look liks a right shorty

#

All this running around finally got me enough BP to upgrade one part of the terrarium

#

And this is the only time I ended up looking at Serebii for information, but evidently ||Torchic can be found in the Polar biome once upgraded... for some reason||

#

||Which, is pretty weird, since I assumed it would be somewhere like the Savanna or Coastal biomes, but whatever||

pseudo goblet
#

||you know, I just reach Kieran break down and glitchy shadows in the background certainly isn’t helping here||

bleak pine
#

But I got my clues finally, so time to start looking in there

pseudo goblet
#

Meowscarada fainted for the first time in this dlc

#

@mighty storm @fading stratus question, do I require to catch the disloyal 3?

#

||at the point where they revived and took the masks||

mighty storm
#

||first battle you cant even attempt to catch them as they are titan sized||

pseudo goblet
#

WAIT I FORGOT TO HEAL MY POKÉMON, FCK

#

And i don’t exactly know these things typings! (I’ll admit this part makes it fun)

vagrant steppe
#

just fumbled the easier win of my career. They had a Blaziken at 9% and I had Darkrai left. I let them switch between protect and swords dance for 8 turns because I went "clearly they'll swap to an attack and I can sucker punch". And then died to it. My Darkrai runs TAUNT

bleak pine
#

I figured since there is so many double battles, I would train up my Flygon for supportive moves

#

Figured Breaking Swipe, Struggle Bug, Tailwind and Helping Hand would be a good start

#

It learns a lot of tech moves, which is cool. Certainly differentiates itself from other dragon-types

sand forge
#

Stellar is kinda an ass name for an everything type

vagrant steppe
#

True

#

Other than the two obvious who even benefits from stellar type

bleak pine
#

I feel like the name alone should be a spoiler but then again, I looked in the search feature and the Tera type was right there

vagrant steppe
#

I mean you can give it to every mon

#

Although yours honestly better not doing that

sharp kernel
#

@cloud scaffold how you doing after round 4?

#

You got at least 1 good tie breaker maybe 2

#

The way this tournament is going I suspect a couple of x-3’s will make it

warm sky
#

@vagrant steppe hey so btw you thought ||Penny's dad being Peony|| was weird?

According to a friend of mine, they're implying ||Elesa is Lacey's mom, which means Elesa and Clay... you know.||

sand forge
#

THE RIZZ

golden lance
#

So stellar tera keeps your weaknesses the exact same

#

How weird

wild imp
#

Like zama h

vagrant steppe
#

You want a colorful movepool tho

#

I'd rather have it on pagos than anything

wild imp
#

If it’s some 4 attacks thing cleaner u probs just wanna click each move once anyways due to varying weaknesses

#

So the extra boost is good for cleaner kills

vagrant steppe
bleak pine
#

NAAAAAAAAA-

#

I love how this is a thing.

#

Makes me want to go all around and see what other things they sneaked into the terrarium

#

And I finally did it

#

I found Torchic

mighty storm
#

I actually have a shiny litleo, I should reinact this scene

bleak pine
#

Oh yeah, I did in fact find Chargestone Cavern too

#

Very cool how it's a near-perfect recreation of the environment, down to the floating stones

#

I just let Torchic out of the ball for a little while and aaaaaa

#

He's running circles around me!

mighty storm
#

oh btw crispin apparently comments if you dont put bread on top of the sandwich

bleak pine
#

I can't wait to make a giant-arse sandwich again

#

Like even if we did get the bread on this somehow, I wouldn't exactly eat this if it had like, deviled eggs, kiwi, and... whatever that fluffy brown thing is

mighty storm
#

How is your bread so large?

bleak pine
#

Oh, this happened a few months back

#

Me, Metrona, Yoz and Raz made a sandwich

#

Evidently the more people involved in making one, the bigger the bread will be

#

Which I guess is the key to getting higher stars.

#

...And I feel we botched it when we missed the bread. But hey, it's better than 2 or 1

#

Just climbed a mountain and found a shiny Camerupt at the top

#

Did not expect that

mighty storm
#

ah

bleak pine
#

...And not even a moment later I find a shiny Alolan Exeggutor

bleak pine
#

I'm beginning to think Ogre Oustin' really is just sorta impossible at hard difficulty

#

Well, impossible to pass all stages. Doing well still does give you a good few rewards

#

Alright, so here's the 411

#

Gonna bring this team to challenge Crispin: Slaking, Weezing (Galarian), Walking Wake, Clefable, Blaziken and Quaqaval

#

Figured I'd lead in with Slaking and Weezing: Neutralizing Gas removes Slaking's one weakness and just has it stomp stuff megahard the whole time

#

Debating on Double Edge or Facade for it's main means of attack

#

Shoutouts to Ren for Clef

bleak pine
#

Actually change of plans: Gonna use Palafin instead of Quaquaval

#

Might lead with Palafin instead of Weezing

bleak pine
#

Allllright, gotta make a super spicy sandwich

#

Man, now I want to make a sandwich again

#

I was gonna give Slaking the move Fake-Out, but I think it doesn't learn it at all

#

And I thought it did. Maybe I'm thinking of something else

#

Also holy crap Walking Wake is huge

vagrant steppe
#

Lmao there's already talk to ban Deoxys and Terapagos

#

Who'dve guessed

kind vortex
#

terapagos obviously isn't long for this world

#

deoxys might (operative word might in about 10 sets of quotation marks) have a chance

vagrant steppe
#

Terapagos is gone by the end of the week imo

#

Deoxys gets the new year

#

Darkrai is actually a fair Gholdengo counter

#

And we gotta ban Gliscor again

bleak pine
#

Ohhh man this music

#

ohhh man ||Crispin has a Blaziken too!||

spice rivet
#

||They all have atleast one starter iirc with Dray using Sceptike cause it had a dragon type as a Mega||

#

In full its ||Dray - Sceptile, Amarys - Empoleon, Crispin - Blaziken, Lacey - Primarina, Kieran - Incineroar||

bleak pine
#

Hah, Drayton called me "Champ in the Making"

#

Alright, I got free time, so would anyone wish to get together for some Union Circling?

mighty storm
bleak pine
#

Righto~!

mighty storm
#

alright at 40 percent, we can do it for a bit

bleak pine
#

Ok!

#

I'll begin it at Central Plaza

mighty storm
#

alright gonna head over there

#

whats the link code?

bleak pine
#

I'll post it!

vagrant steppe
#

Huh Lucario is kinda tiny

#

My friend has the life sized plush and he's only like 4 feet tall

bleak pine
#

NTFN93

#

Lucario is admittedly pretty smol

#

Ayoo

#

So, what's something to try out?

vagrant steppe
bleak pine
#

Ay

vagrant steppe
#

I guess the fact that all the characters in the shows and games are 12 makes him look taller

bleak pine
#

Alright, you got a quest to give a mon a nice washing... hmm

vagrant steppe
#

Although Smash definitely added 2 feet to him, he's like link sized there

bleak pine
#

Shall we just try a picnic for now?

#

Alright, I'll go to the polar biome to knock out some BBQ's

#

What about you?

mighty storm
#

lets do some BBQs yeah

bleak pine
#

holy crap, Blaziken runs fast

#

Gotta say, some of these BBQ's are pretty easy to do, but I find doing the whole "Terastalizie to defeat a wild mon" thing a little cumbersome

#

Might as well catch a Seel for Raz

#

Alllright, got my difficult BBQ done, just gotta take on this Reuniclus now

#

...And of course I send Blaziken out there. Argh, just gotta swap into Duraludon

mighty storm
#

ez points

bleak pine
#

At least defeating Tera mons will recharge the tera orb!

mighty storm
#

ooh stellar lapras

bleak pine
#

argh kept running into cubchoo

vagrant steppe
#

Wait what did Bastidon and Rampardos get as buffs?

#

Why are people trying them on the ladder when you could be on the broken funny turtle

#

Speaking of the turtle

#

He's gone

bleak pine
#

Argh why do I keep missing Blaze Kick

#

...Wait, Ditto Blocks?

#

Ahh, i see, they hide around the Terrarium

mighty storm
#

lmao ditto blocks yep

bleak pine
#

Pyroar's still chillin' on Pride Rock

pseudo goblet
#

A colorful rock

bleak pine
#

Argh, no luck in the Savanna finding ditto

mighty storm
#

where the ditto blocks at

bleak pine
#

I have no clue, aaaaaa

mighty storm
#

gonna check coastal

bleak pine
#

I'm in canyon rn!

mighty storm
#

once I get to 2k BP Im gonna take a break

bleak pine
#

Oki

#

Oh hey, I found one!

mighty storm
#

actually, going till 3k

bleak pine
#

And a second one!

#

Woops, time to hose off Duraludon

#

Ooor, guess you got it

mighty storm
#

found galarian slowpoke

bleak pine
#

Ayyy nice

#

Obligatory Ducky shoutout

#

Gonna check the Labyrinth

mighty storm
#

oh the ditto block said specifically polar biome

bleak pine
#

Ahhh

#

Alright, gonna head there~!

#

Guessing going up to the highest point is a good way to go

mighty storm
#

and switch almost out of time so once I kill this beartic I'll dip out

#

ty

bleak pine
#

Ah, you're welcome!

#

Hope that was good!

mighty storm
#

it was fun

bleak pine
#

Yaaa

#

Maybe next time I'll try to see if Yoz or Metrona are good for a group tryout

mighty storm
#

yeah

bleak pine
#

Oh wow, Alolan Sandslash is a thing

#

...I'll assume it's a Violet Exclusive since I have not seen one yet?

#

Ah cool, the Cram-o-Matic is back. Or, something similar to it

#

Wondering if that silly thing where you can keep making TM's for Heat Crash can still bring in the money

#

...Oh wow, I threw like enough Delibird Parcels and got like

#

A Comet Shard, plus a few other goodies

#

Gonna try Glimmet Crystals next

#

...Eh, not as exciting

#

I think the way it works is, it's semi-random? I think?

#

Like, each material contributes to a specific pool of itesm, with odds based on the material's LP worth

#

So like, Happiny Dust gives more good odds compared to say, Magikarp Scales

#

Oh, that's nice, the machine looks like a Great Ball if you do enough print jobs. Pretty clever!

#

oh my goodness, the special songs list has Castelia City on the tracks

#

Yesssss~

#

Man, it feels so weird not having Blaziken know how to use High Jump Kick

#

Was expecting it to learn Axe Kick too, but alas

pseudo goblet
#

Finally about to catch Ogrepon, sheesh Kieran is difficult on the last fight

#

@mighty storm @fading stratus Anything I should know before sealing the deal with Pon?

mighty storm
#

get yourself a ball you will think she looks nice in

#

I used a nest ball on her

pseudo goblet
#

Friend ball got the meaning

Dusk I feel suits her best except for the name

Nest not really

mighty storm
#

I didnt realize it was 100 percent and didnt prepare so 😅

pseudo goblet
#

Just realize my team doesn’t have a solid solution for Fire pon

#

Salt golem maybe- if it weren’t for possible grass move

pseudo goblet
#

Glad I gave Meowscarada her U Turn back sweateragent

#

The deed is done fluff

#

She has Lonely nature- okay that’s gotta be intentional, right? KEKW

bleak pine
#

Annnd I found a Shiny Trapinch

#

What even is my luck

#

Mills Graceful Charity 5 duels in a row first action. Finds multiple shiny mons in a short number of time

mighty storm
#

btw @pseudo goblet want a datamine leak on what the last loyal 3 member can do? Like their leader

mighty storm
#

Wonky defensive mon that ||Confusion+Badly Poisons you||

#

||160|| physical defense tho

maiden flax
jaunty wren
#

this teambuilding shit hard

kind vortex
#

so uhh how is crispin's exeggutor surviving flutter mane shadow ball

#

mane being timid shouldn't make a difference, there's like 20 levels between them and it's max sp atk investment

#

but exeggutor survives with a sliver of health without sash?

spice rivet
#

Cracked luck on the item maker too

pseudo goblet

#

@fading stratus @mighty storm finished DLC 1, at least, assuming ||Kieran, Carmine and Briar going back to academy|| is the end

#

I think I still have the trio and bear to catch

fading stratus
#

they'll play huge role in dlc2

#

also kinda

pseudo goblet
#

So far my Kitakami dex is 141 btw

#

Any version exclusive I should worry about I wonder

#

Oh heck yeah, found a Golem raid, no trade evo baby

fading stratus
#

I actually forgot if there were many version exclusives

pseudo goblet
#

Just found out we re unable to transfer items through HOME NotLikeThis

spice rivet
golden lance
#

Regieleki and terapagos trying to see who got banned from ou the fastest

fading stratus
#

is terapagos not banned yet

pseudo goblet
vagrant steppe
#

The council is voting on pagos today

#

Turtle is fucked

vagrant steppe
#

It is now

fading stratus
#

lol

#

that was quick

vagrant steppe
#

I mean pagos was a problem mon

#

Insane coverage, 3 good abilities in one, and all sorts of shit

#

It made it a whole day and a half

fading stratus
#

next gen dlc we'll have a mon with 4 abilities

vagrant steppe
#

Considering we got one with 2 last gen

#

Then 3 this gen

#

Honestly I'm not surprised the turtle died, it was the most obvious call known to man

#

But was that the fastest we've had a mon banned from OU?

fading stratus
#

marshadow or eleki or tortle maybe

#

idk

vagrant steppe
#

It was faster than Marshadow

#

He was in OU for 2 days

#

Terapagos got 1

crimson moat
#

Looking over threads, Speed Deoxys is next up to bat seems like

vagrant steppe
#

Good

#

He's also insane

sleek sky
#

Going through a pastebon of all the datamined character interactions
There's some fun character moments in there

bleak pine
#

I might use Alcremie in a few battles next

#

What are good double battle strategies?

#

Cause Decorate looks pretty sweet

#

...Oh jeez, I gotta hatch an egg for a BBQ now

#

Oh, phew, I got one in a box

#

...I really wanna know why Tail Slap only has 85% accuracy

#

I don't know if it was always like this, but I keep missing with it

#

Annnnd Coastal Biome Upgrades are installed!

#

Apparently I can find Grookey there. Innnnteresting.

#

oh my goodness I found one

#

A CHIKORITA

#

Raz, I did it. I got a Chikorita

bleak pine
#

Alright, question for the battling crowd

#

What exactly is a condition for a move to be considered to have 'failed'?

#

In the case of Stomping Tantrum and this newer fire-type move I got a TM for, I imagine it would be like, if an attack was made, but it ended up missing either cause of low accuracy, or because the opponent used a move like Protect

#

...Ah, a quick look tells me what the conditions were

obsidian juniper
bleak pine
#

D'aww

#

...Actually shoot, I probably ought to experiment more with Synchronization

#

Only ever used Weavile, so I might try Synchronizing with like, I guess something that can swim

#

...Or something that can really book it when running like Blaziken.

#

...Ok, wow, evidently with the printing machine ||One of the Pokeball prizes you can get is a Beast Ball.||

#

Did not expect that

#

I think maybe the best kind of material for the printing machine is probably Delibird Parcels

#

I think groups of them can be found on Glaseado Mountain, so they're worth a good bit for the cost/quantity ratio

kind vortex
#

It's plenty for the in game battles

bleak pine
#

Ah yeah, I might try something with sunlight

#

Always wanted to give it a go with Ninetales and a few others

#

Mostly just asking to try out new things to try out

#

The whole After You/Focus Punch strategy was very funny, but there's so much more to explore!

kind vortex
#

My team was ninetales/typhlosion-h/kingambit/flutter mane/ogerpon/furret

bleak pine
#

Ayyyy Furret

#

Good choice!

kind vortex
#

Furret put in some work since follow me is Fair and Balanced

bleak pine
#

Oh, neat

#

Love the noodle

#

I think I'll take a page out of Ren's book and see how well Clefable fares in a few double battles.

#

Rn I'm just taking things slow insofar as Part 2 goes, so I may be behind everyone else here

kind vortex
#

clefairy is better in doubles imo

#

you have plenty of other mons for damage, but clefairy provides damage mitigation clefable doesn't

snow oasis
#

is Archaludon the first non-pseudo, non-legendary/mythical, non-mega with 600 BST?

jaunty wren
#

yes

vagrant steppe
#

Yup

#

Funnily enough, he's still bad

jaunty wren
#

oh, sorry, he isn't

#

ah, nevermind

#

ye he is

vagrant steppe
mighty storm
#

1 gimmick

bleak pine
#

How?

#

Not that I'm complaining

warm sky
bleak pine
#

Oh, that's super cool!

#

That's a really great ability. A right shame that it's not very widespread, but again, given Clefairy can have it, I'm alright with it

#

The pink thing is just the gift that keeps on giving

#

Also, seems Jigglypuff can learn it too, but I'm a little leery on using Jigglypuff over Clefairy in such a scenario

kind vortex
#

clefairy is better

bleak pine
#

And I feel like nailing Population Bomb a whole lot is too tempting a strategy for Maushold to consider for Friend Guard

#

And Vivillon is... eh. Not a winner

#

Clefairy it is!

||WHAT||

#

||Ok, very interesting, alright||

vagrant steppe
#

When they can't kill your sweeper you can cleanly eat the whole team alive

bleak pine
#

||I assume it's the rarest roll though, so... yeah, not counting on that ever happening lol||

vagrant steppe
#

I was also trying Terapagos behind screens but unsurprisingly the funny turtle is BROKEN

#

Whoever decided that a 700 BST Mon with better multiscale and the ability to clear weather and terrain, on top of permanent STAB for all its attacks and a 120 BP normal move that can hit ghosts was okay was smoking something

#

Although it is funny how cleanly turtle picked off ogrepon

#

They definitely intended for him to be the answer to her

bleak pine
#

Oh right, the Tera raid against Dialga. Forgot to do that

#

Eh, it'll be fine, I got Blissey to take care of business

#

Ok, that's a real flex, it knowing Steel Beam

#

I find it pretty weird how it's a 5* raid

#

You'd think a legendary would be on the level of that 7* raid for Mewtwo, but it isn't

#

And yeah, completed it without a hitch. Blissey was just near-unbreakable

#

...annnd I found an outbreak of Pachirisu.

#

...Yeah, I might have time to shiny hunt something.

mighty storm
#

SANTA BIRB OUTBREAKS

kind vortex
#

woohoo delibird parcel event

bleak pine
#

We will beat up the mailman for mad cash

mighty storm
#

calling it now,, boosted shiny odds

bleak pine
#

7* raids will happen against Iron Bundle too

#

Yeah, have fun with that one

#

Might see if I can light a beacon for more BBQ shenanigans

#

I failed to find those ditto playing Hide & Seek last time, so I'm wanting to try again

kind vortex
kind vortex
#

i'd probably also recommend division of labor when that quest shows up

bleak pine
#

Oh, that's helpful!

#

Yeah, that would be wise

kind vortex
#

have people dedicated to specific biomes

bleak pine
#

I was helping but it felt like Summer was really knockin' em all out of the park

#

That would be a good idea!

kind vortex
#

1 on polar, 1 on coastal, 1 on savannah, 1 on canyon, then converge on the central

bleak pine
#

I guess with a room of 4 people, it'd mean we have each spot to ourselves

kind vortex
#

or start in central and split up

bleak pine
#

Righto!

#

Might try to see if I can drum up Yoz, Summer and maybe Matrona

#

All I'm just gonna request is if we do this, is just no spoiler stuff

#

Not too difficult, just, don't throw out I guess any mon whose existence or something is a spoiler

mighty storm
#

Fun fact: If it asks for a picture of a pokemon that is flying

#

levitation counts

#

geodude certified flying

bleak pine
#

Ahhh, yeah

#

I'll remember it!

mighty storm
#

that be a nice one to shiny hunt, an alolan geodude/graveler

#

Gold rocky bois

#

Green Ducky

bleak pine
#

with real glow-in-the-dark action

#

Alright, gonna light the beacon, so bear with me as I ping a few others:

#

@mighty storm @maiden flax @spice rivet (And a few others)

You alright with getting together and doing some BBQ stuff?

mighty storm
#

Nah not right now

bleak pine
#

Ah, alright

spice rivet
#

Cant atm unfortunately, but may be able to in another 2ish hours

bleak pine
#

It's alright, take your time

#

I just witnessed a Dodrio sitting

#

I dunno how to explain it, but it was just funny

bleak pine
#

Well, i just completed a 6 star raid against Metagross by my lonesome

#

Thank goodness for Zacian helping out

#

Honestly, I really love the idea of Metagross and wished there were more 600 BST stuff like it

#

We don't have to have every one of em now be a dragon, cause of course it has to be

#

Metal crab boi ❤️🦀

Oh wow, Granbull can learn Temper Flare

Anyone else wanna join the Union Circle?

Is it the year of the dragon?

mighty storm
#

yeah

bleak pine
#

Ah, cool

#

Last year I remembered something involving another species of mons and thought this was related

mighty storm
#

Im like right about to eat, otherwise I would join union circle

#

actually, Im at 100 percent charge or so. I could just AFK

bleak pine
#

You could!

#

That may be alright

spice rivet
#

Sweet!

bleak pine
#

Even AFK, this'll give us more BBQ's for grabs for all of us, so it's still very much a plus

mighty storm
#

alright connecting to wifi now, ready to enter code

bleak pine
#

Okay!

#

So, plans: I suppose each of us could survey like, 2 biomes, if that's alright?

mighty storm
#

yeah

bleak pine
#

Savanna/Canyon and Coast/Polar sounds good, since it may give us like, two flat and craggy areas at once

#

So we'll still each have a good division of work

spice rivet
#

Sounds good

#

Unless theres a ditto quest in which case: Ffuuuuuuuuuuudggggggge

bleak pine
#

Argor sent me a link of locations, so we could consult that

#

And i think they only ever show up in a specific biome chosen at random

mighty storm
#

yeah

bleak pine
#

So it's not too bad, I think?

#

Still a hunt for sure

mighty storm
#

true

#

alright what's the code?

bleak pine
#

I'll star it up

#

7W5W32

#

I'll leave it up to Yoz what place to survey

spice rivet
#

Im Kayvon btw

bleak pine
#

Righto!

#

Let's divide and conquer!

spice rivet
#

Ya lets go! You guys have first choice

#

Im fine with wherever

bleak pine
#

I guess I'll take the coast and polar

spice rivet
#

Kk, Ill do the opposite

bleak pine
#

Man, it feels bad, knowing Granbull is pretty slow

mighty storm
#

And I'll roam a bit while I wait for food

bleak pine
#

oh god we gotta hatch an egg

#

...Uh, I'll handle that!

mighty storm
#

I think I have an egg

bleak pine
#

Ahh, oki

mighty storm
#

oh food ready

bleak pine
#

Ah, it's alright, go enjoy your dinner!

#

I'll hatch one up

spice rivet
#

I pre readied eggs so no worries

bleak pine
#

Ah, oki

#

Oh wow, Solosis counts as a flier

mighty storm
#

spice rivet
#

bleak pine

mighty storm

bleak pine
#

Oooh

spice rivet

I'll go back to my spots

mighty storm
#

SHINY HORSEA!

bleak pine
#

Ayyyy cool!

mighty storm
#

I was like "wait a minute, you are brighter then normal"

spice rivet
#

Purple Kingdra is just beautiful

bleak pine
#

It sure is

mighty storm
#

ooh, tera hitmontop

#

ice

bleak pine
#

he speen

#

Oooh man

#

We gonna take a selfie in the polar biome

spice rivet
#

Triple Axel go BRRRRRR

#

Omw

mighty storm
#

yeah

bleak pine
#

I guess we can meet in the plaza for this occasion

#

I'll let Yoz or whoever take it, since I probably am not a good photographer

mighty storm
#

at the central plaza

bleak pine
#

I'll do a pose

#

Hmm, guess it needs all of us

mighty storm
#

where you at?

bleak pine
#

We're at the Polar Plaza

spice rivet
#

Draytons place

mighty storm
#

oh

bleak pine
#

Just did the "Owain" pose

mighty storm
#

at 7980 BP now

bleak pine
#

Ayyy, nice

#

Annnd Brute Bonnet just savaging a poor Solosis

#

Aaaaa

spice rivet
#

Lmaoo

bleak pine
#

I'll see if I can't catch a dragon-type

#

P sure the easiest is Vibrava

spice rivet
#

Im doing it rn

Also Vikavolt is highly recommended because its pretty fast and can fly

bleak pine
#

Ahhh, nice

spice rivet
#

As a lets go mon

bleak pine
#

I might make that my lead

#

I usually use Blaziken. Chicken just books it when he runs

spice rivet
#

Got Duraladon

bleak pine
#

But I suppose Vikavolt flies, so it's good for going over water too

spice rivet
#

Also, just nearing 15k BP

#

Started this at 9k lmao

bleak pine
#

Oooh

mighty storm
#

when I hit 9k Im gonna call it a day

spice rivet
#

No worries

#

How much you at Symph?

bleak pine
#

Lemme see

#

6,000 so far

#

I can end it whenever you feel like you had enough, I'm fine either way

spice rivet
#

Nice, not too shabby

#

Im good to go for a while

bleak pine
#

A pic-i-nic in an electric cave

#

Wait, did that say sour?

spice rivet
#

Ye

bleak pine
#

Man, pickles and yogurt

#

I would not at all eat this

#

I hope Koraidon loves it though

mighty storm
#

I can get the tera raid done

spice rivet
#

Doing a raid

bleak pine
#

Oooh, shall we do it together?

#

Or is it just, not necessary?

spice rivet
#

Nah, ill just solo it, its not a good mom or type any rn

bleak pine
#

Ahhh, ok

#

Victory!

#

I'll see if I can't KO this Tera mon

spice rivet
#

Also one of my favorite Tera mons in the wild is a Fera Water Rhydon with Surf

bleak pine
#

Ooooh yeah, I saw that one

#

It's just surrounded by water, too

#

It doesn't care!

#

Love how Rhydon can just learn surf

#

In spite of being a rhino of rocks

mighty storm
#

alright just got to over 9k, calling it a break for now. Ty

bleak pine
#

Righto

spice rivet
#

Np, thank you too!

bleak pine
#

Guess I'll throw hands with this Porygon

#

Thanks Summer!

mighty storm
#

yw

spice rivet
#

Canyon Dittos again

bleak pine
#

oh god

bleak pine
#

OoO

spice rivet
#

Literally one spawned beside me

mighty storm
#

these were the 2 shinies I got earlier

bleak pine
#

The King has Returned

#

Aw jeez, 4 of em now?

spice rivet
#

Got the 2nd

bleak pine
#

Ooh, ok

#

I'll search further north of the canyon

spice rivet
#

3rd

bleak pine
#

Jeez, you're on a roll!

mighty storm
#

gonna cash in my BP for stuff 😄

spice rivet
#

All skill babyyyy

mighty storm
#

oh? cyrano is here

spice rivet
#

Nice! Def upgrade the Item Printer

#

Its hella stonks

#

Like tons of Evolution items and everything

mighty storm
#

Ah the trading feature

spice rivet
#

i have like 10 Masterpiece Cups and 6 Heavy Alloy

bleak pine
#

I got those alloys

mighty storm
#

lmao he gave me, 200 BP free

bleak pine
#

But I still feel like keeping my Duraludon as Duraludon is fine

spice rivet
#

I heard you cant being Gmax Capable Duraladon to SV

#

Not sure if its true though

bleak pine
#

Aw, whaaaat

#

Probably isn't, but eh

mighty storm
#

the boosting bio diversity sounds cool, I could unlock the starters to hunt

#

each group is 3k

bleak pine
#

I might try upgrading the Savanna one next

#

Totodile~

mighty storm
#

going coastal, polar, and savanna

bleak pine
#

Man, this last ditto ain't making it easy

spice rivet
#

I think we need to consult a map

bleak pine
#

I'll repost Argor's material

mighty storm
#

and finally with 230 left before spending 50, getting ninja style throwing

bleak pine
spice rivet
#

Doesnt have canyon big rip

bleak pine
#

Youch

spice rivet
#

Ill try to find another

bleak pine
#

Yeah, I can see why, the place is friggin' huge

#

I'll see if there's some at the central plaza, though I doubt it

#

Might as well make the TM's while I'm there

spice rivet
#

Sounds good

#

Found it

bleak pine
#

Ayyy, you found it!

spice rivet
#

Was near the suspension bridge

bleak pine
#

Didn't think it'd be there, hmm

spice rivet
#

Ya, on one of the outcropping of blocks

bleak pine
#

I find it funny how Granbull could learn Temper Flare

#

Seems there's no reason to stick to Fire Punch now

#

Alright, a ghost type

#

...Oh, right, Golett.

#

Forgot that they're around the canyon or polar biomes

spice rivet
#

Also, one more Yellow quest then I think Ill be calling it there for the night

bleak pine
#

Righto

mighty storm
#

Im gonna evolve the horsea, I wanna see shiny seadra and kingdra

bleak pine
#

Need help? I can help out with some trading

mighty storm
#

does it need an item for the trade evo?

bleak pine
#

Yeah, the dragon scale

#

You trade it holding the dragon scale, and it'll evolve Seadra into Kingdra

mighty storm
#

where do I get dragon scales? in case I dont have one

bleak pine
#

I think the printing machine can print one from time to time

#

Also thinking it's a 'dex completion reward for milestones

spice rivet
#

The Sxhool store or random from the item maker

#

That too

bleak pine
#

Alllright, pic-i-nic time

#

Gonna give Metagross a good scrubbing

mighty storm
#

alright I'll wait for dex completion reward

bleak pine
#

Alllright, yellow

#

Wearing something other than school uniforms, eh?

spice rivet
#

Ye, the Jinbei should work

bleak pine
#

And that's the last of em!

pseudo goblet
bleak pine
#

Thanks so much for the experience Yoz

#

Shall we conclude for now?

spice rivet
#

Yes, thank you so much too Symph and Summer!

bleak pine
#

Yaa~

spice rivet
#

How much BP you at now?

bleak pine
#

Thanks so much. If you need any helping hands, I'm good to call

#

Let's see here

#

9280 BP!

#

That's pretty sizable!

spice rivet
#

Im at... Jesus 18,000.

Ya we crushed it

bleak pine
#

hoooly crap I just got jumpscared by a tera Tauros

#

Super rude!!

spice rivet
#

Also talk to snacksworth, you probs got a good amount of Legendaries you can access

bleak pine
#

Wait, what?

#

Oh, right, the whole legendary thing

bleak pine
#

I dunno if I can do that just yet, but I'll keep it in mind

spice rivet
#

Ya, you need to do 130 Solo BBQ, and the remaining 12 are from Union BBQ (The yellow ones)

bleak pine
#

Ahhh

spice rivet
#

They do count from before talking to him the first time atleast

bleak pine
#

I'll keep it in mind!

#

...I'm serious, that Tauros really made me jump, since it busted in so quickly

#

Arrggh

mighty storm
#

I still have yet to go hunt down the snackworth legendaries

spice rivet
#

Honestly, Im waiting till I need them for VGC with specific IVs rather than just turbo through them rn

#

Since I have them all from my living dex

#

Except for the SwSh DLC mons but those are really VGC relevant so Ill get them soon enough

#

Def need 0 Speed Glastrier though

bleak pine
#

Honse

#

I got enough BP to do both the Canyon and Savanna biome upgrades, too

#

Woo

#

Litten and Squirtle are nice

#

I feel like some of the stuff in the School Store is pretty overpriced... hmm

#

Dunno if I feel comfortable shelling out 50 for stuff like Protein and the like

#

Though, EXP candy is actually a good deal

#

Alright, so I noticed something else filling out the 'dex, ||Evidently there's something below Bulbasaur that looks suspiciously like something related to Applin. Hmm||

#

Also, if any of you have like, an Alolan Sandshrew, I'd gladly do some trading for it

#

Or Shieldon

spice rivet
#

Ah so cute

#

I bred a Sandshrew I can toss your way. You may get lucky and find a Bastiodon raid you can join online

bleak pine
#

Oooh, yeah, I'll keep at it

#

I'll give ya something nice for the trouble!

#

Shall we attempt a trade? I can start a room right fast

mighty storm
#

symph do you not have PLA with a bastiodon?

bleak pine
#

...Eh, well, funny story. My membership for HOME expired

mighty storm
#

you still have your free box

bleak pine
#

Ahhh, yeah, possibly!

#

I can try that out

#

P sure I don't have an Alolan Sandshrew though

#

But yeah, I'll try out PLA for Shieldon. Been planning on renewing it, but I don't got the membership for now

#

Room's 9107

pseudo goblet
bleak pine
#

Nnnnnope

pseudo goblet
#

Damn

bleak pine
#

Ehhh, we can probs do the trading someday later

#

I think we're all pooped from the BBQ-ing

spice rivet
#

@bleak pine Sorry, had to do something, be on in 5

bleak pine
#

Ah, take your time

bleak pine
#

Kitty~

spice rivet
#

@bleak pine

#

Back on

bleak pine
#

Righto!

#

Code's 9107 for link trades

spice rivet
#

Kk

bleak pine
#

And this little trade is a little something for your help today~

spice rivet
#

So uhh, it got sent to home accidentally

bleak pine
#

-Ah

spice rivet
#

Just gimme 2 min

bleak pine
#

Eh, yeah, that's alright, take your time

spice rivet
#

I have Sandslash so I can give you an egg

bleak pine
#

Sure thing

#

I'll boot it up again

#

Man, I miss the CLANK sound from making a connection in Sword/Shield

#

Metal on metal sound

spice rivet
#

Joining

bleak pine
#

Righto

#

A shiny hog!

spice rivet
#

Oh my god, its Kevin Bacon!

bleak pine
#

Yeaaaaa

spice rivet
#

Tysm!

bleak pine
#

And not to worry, I got another one, so this one's all yours

#

Thanks for the egg!

#

Annnnywho, I think I best retire for the night. Thanks for the get-together!

#

(Also gave it a Rare Candy to hold too, just so ya know)

spice rivet
#

No problem. Also you want to know something funny real quick. The A Sandslash that made that egg actually came from someone else here on the discord! I wanted one for my initial Sun playthrough

bleak pine
#

Oooooh, that's cool!

#

Didn't know that!

spice rivet
#

Their IGN is Erika, I cant remember who that is

bleak pine
#

Hmm, doesn't ring a bell to me, either.

mighty storm
#

synchro is both the greatest feature and the worst feature (F for all the shinies it has killed)

bleak pine
#

turtl

maiden flax
#

||meloetta has a funny way to get her||

maiden flax
#

Fun fact: hydrapple is the first non-legendary/mythical/special (like the ultra beasts) grass type to have above 540 bst

sand forge
pseudo goblet
atomic heart
#

just started the DLC

#

as a Gen 5 enjoyer as soon as I heard the first few parts of the trainer battle theme

#

oh boy

#

you do not know how happy I was

inland gyro
#

well weirdest but interesting idea i've seen someone do for a pokemon vid: create a tier list of the major opponents in pokemon based on their win loss vs each other (using AI, also it wasn't level adjusted so obviously first gym leaders are way down and champions usually high)

bleak pine
#

oh my good god there's a mass outbreak of Charmander

bleak pine
#

Pretty bummed that Blaziken still can't learn High Jump Kick

#

Or Axe Kick. I figured that would be one move it would at least know.

kind vortex
#

just give it close combat

#

both hjk and axe kick have too big a potential drawback comparatively

#

so i don't think it's a big deal

mighty storm
bleak pine
#

Just feels like it ain't Blaziken unless it just does a super sick knee kick. It's more flavor than actual usability

#

Close Combat's good though

#

Also wow, Mater Balls?

kind vortex
#

they're pretty low percentage, but yes

#

make sure you take advantage of the delibird parcel event that'll be dropping in a few days

spice rivet
#

Opened 3 ETBs, 2 Paradox Rift and a 151. Did not do too good tbh, but I did also get some neat Reverse foils

silver vigil
bleak pine
#

Alright, took on the next stop for the Elite Four, and won it handily

#

Both Blastoise and Ursaluna were just chads on weathering out the whole trick room strategy

#

Feels so weird using physical moves for Blastoise though

#

Like, it's got cannon's on it's shell, and I can just... not have it use any of these and just slam stuff?

#

My concern for Kieran is getting way bigger

mighty storm
#

I was just trying to find a new minior hunting location, and found a mudkip

#

accidentally killed it tho

#

but found another

bleak pine
#

Ooh

#

Yeah, Mudkip if I recall are always in caves

#

...For some reason

#

You'd think they'd be found in the Savanna, near the muddy ponds

#

Oh yeah, just gonna ask the battlers

#

@spice rivet You wouldn't happen to be interested in a casual sort of double battle, would you? I've never done so much double battles before, so a casual sort of one to get me loosened up would be cool

mighty storm
#

second sandwich attempt of looking for minior, nothing

spice rivet
bleak pine
#

Eh, nothing with any stake involved

#

Feel free to just destroy me!

spice rivet
#

Kk, give me 20ish and Ill be on

bleak pine
#

Sure thing~

#

Only real request is no spoiler-ish stuff so far

#

I feel like I'm certainly not too knowledgable in the finer points of battling, but I do try to give it an honest go when I do.

spice rivet
#

Ok, no worries, teams all ready to go!

bleak pine
#

Sure thing! I'll boot mine up

#

Set code's same as usual, 9107

#

And the format is a double battle!

spice rivet
#

Good luck have fun!

bleak pine
#

I'll pick the normal rules, since that'll put us all on a relatively even field

spice rivet
#

Kk sounds good

bleak pine
#

Good luck, and let's enjoy ourselves!

#

Oooh, Suicune!

mighty storm
#

My shiny luck when in Symph's world: 2 shinies that weren't targeted
My shiny luck when I specifically look for a smol meteor fren: crickets

bleak pine
#

Youch

spice rivet
#

Oof

bleak pine
#

Man, I need to upgrade my trainer card

#

Oooh man shiny stuff

mighty storm
#

I'll go for third attempt tomorrow

bleak pine
#

...Well, I made a horrible mistake

spice rivet
#

Rip

bleak pine
#

Incineroar insulting Suicune or somesuch

#

Hrrm.

spice rivet
#

Incineroar is such a stinker lmao

#

But thats why we use Empoleon 5head

#

Ooh crap

bleak pine
#

Aaaaaaa

#

Yow, wrong call there for me

#

I have this set to the gym leader battle theme and it still just gets me so pumped up to fight

#

aaaaaaaAAAAA

spice rivet
bleak pine
#

Ah, cool!

spice rivet
#

The Galar Gym theme was my most played song this year lmao

bleak pine
#

Alll in baybeeee

spice rivet
#

Though I do love the Paldea Gym theme

bleak pine
#

ONE PUNCH CONK

spice rivet
#

Oh fuuuuuu

Oooh

This is infact the 1st Shiny I ever caught

Aw, not a one-hit

In White 1s Giant Chasm

#

Aa-oh

#

Welp, there goes Conk

#

welp

spice rivet
#

Ice Shard go BRRRRR

bleak pine
#

A double KO!

spice rivet
#

Because its cold

bleak pine
#

Counting on you, Blaziken!

spice rivet
#

I may have miscalculated

#

Named after the best Dracoslayer fr fr

bleak pine
#

...Ohh crap, I forgot

#

Earthquake doesn't care for follow me-Oh

#

Terastalize!

spice rivet
#

Oh also, not a spoiler but if you do Snackworths quests, you will get the themes for the Legendaries selectable in PVP

bleak pine
#

Ooooh, will do!

spice rivet
bleak pine
#

...Annnd it's at this point I feel like I'm in danger

#

Once I saw Chandelure

#

This may be close...!

spice rivet
#

Hail mary time!

#

Oof

bleak pine
#

Skydive Scorcher!

#

Oh

#

Ohno

#

I might in fact have lost this

spice rivet
#

Nope, I am dumb, Im choice locked to Will of Wisp

#

Lmaoooooooo

bleak pine
#

Well this also may be dumb but I feel like Clef and Blaziken have no moves capable of harming Chandelure

spice rivet
#

Ill run out of PP forst, so you got this

bleak pine
#

Ah

spice rivet
#

Gg!

bleak pine
#

Thanks for the game, Yoz! Lemme know if you wanna go again!

spice rivet
#

No worries, thank you too

bleak pine
#

I feel right loosened up to take on Drayton now

#

Oh yeah, you need another group set up Summer? Feels like you got good luck on these union circle stuff, lol

mighty storm
#

Spice Alcremie

kind vortex
#

that sounds horrifying

bleak pine
#

Spice!

#

Ok, so Drayton's trial is very interesting

#

Not gonna spoil it, but it does inspire a good bit of creativity

#

Annnnd that's elite four done!

#

Had Duraludon just obliterate Archaludon with Draco Meteor

#

Annnd this TM, wow

#

Innnteresting

#

Alllright, it's time, everyone

bleak pine
#

Concern is reaching critical levels about now

#

||Ooh god he did not like it when I brought out Ogrepon||

kind vortex
#

||good||

bleak pine
#

||I think the only other time a trainer reacts to a specific mon was like, Leon, if you chose to send out Eternatus in the Champion's Cup finals||

kind vortex
#

dlc 2 spoilers you've already passed ||carmine also reacts to ogerpon||

bleak pine
#

||Oooh, neat||

#

||The flow went like this: Nearly evenly matched (Maybe 2-3 levels above most mons): I won the weather wars and had harsh sunlight reign as I had Venusaur just wreck his Politoed. It got KO'd by Incineroar next turn, but I managed a win with Ogrepon, Walking Wake and Blaziken remaining. Only Torkoal, Venusaur and Charizard suffered a KO||

#

||Wish I could say Ogrepon delivered the KO, but it was Blaziken finishing the job with Brave Bird||

#

||...Oh god I just broke Kieran||

#

||sadcat ||

#

||Oh hey, Geeta is here!||

#

||Oh no the scary Area Zero music||
