I really felt like shouting "Skydive Scorcher!" when I did click Brave Bird
I've been thinking too much about GX, it would seem
Alright, restraints are off now: I'm carting around my true pals
...Not that the friends I made in Blueberry Academy aren't. They're great too!
...Small question, not that I really keep an eye on Smogon (It's just... eh.), but
What does their uh, committee or whatever they call themselves thinking about for Blaziken?
(I'm just wondering if the whole Speed Boost Blaziken thing is still very potent)
i've seen exactly 0 discussion about blaziken being a threat
Ah, I suppose it's cause Part 2 is still new
no, it's either bc a) i just haven't seen anything about it yet, or b) it's not actually a problem
b is more likely
Ahh
obviously very preliminary and much can change but so far at least
Hello everyone and welcome to the DLC2 Viability List!
We are not yet ready to have the fully-fledged viability rankings up with so many developments happening so quickly, but there is demand for a viability list that people can use as a threat list to use to weigh their options for...
it's sitting in medium viability on this list
carmine also does
already mentioned that
anyway, for comparison, top viability includes mons like deoxys-s, serperior, and volc
oh yeah you did
if terapagos were still alive, then it'd be up there too
so yeah, blaziken's in that space where it's probably got some neat uses, but it's currently not a meta-defining or potentially meta-defining threat
Ah, yeah, that's alright
||Oh jeez, Rika is angry with me. I do not want Rika being angry||
||if rika doesn't want us doing things without her knowing, then she can beat us in a battle first to assert dominance, otherwise she can sit down and shut up||
||if the pokemon league ain't gonna do shit, then i sure as fuck am||
Anyone find methods for farming Pokemon matierial yet? Starting to run low on stuff from using the item maker
So far just doing the cave where you can auto farm Sableye/Larvitar shinies from Paldea
I think a good way would be in the Terrarium
Synchronization, then use a mon on your team that's very quick
Like say, Vikavolt, or Swampert
Maybe I can try that
wait for delibird parcel event : ^)
Seriously, it's scary how fast Swampert is
Imagine this thing chasing you through a... swamp.
but ye vikavolt looked pretty fast in the overworld
also post dlc battle spoilers ||geeta's team is properly built now||
||glimmora lead, kingambit ace (tera flying)||
Also apparently, Normal Encounter Level 3 Sandwiches and farming Chansy is the wave since Happiny Dust gives you the best % per matierial ratio
But Im just trying to find something I can "Set and forget"
Oh right, I gotta cash in on what Perrin (I think that was her name?) wants me doing
...Which is probably tracking down more cryptids she has some information on
Let's just hope we turn off the flash photography this time
||Caught the long boy||
||Now to find, what I presume is quote end quote "Entei"||
||Oh jeez,they turned Entei into a...||
||...I have no clue what kind of dinosaur this is||
||Suicune became like, some Allosaurus, Raikou is a Bronto... but I'm lost on what crime against nature this is.||
Ok, I might try something new with Blaziken: How well can I use Special Attacks with it?
It's Sp. ATK stat isn't so bad, it's only 10 points off from it's ATK if I remember correctly, plus it's got stuff like Flamethrower, Aura Sphere and a few others. I could easily turn it into a Shotoclone instead of of a kickboxer
Pocket Sand!
Could make Tera Ground an alright choice, though it still leaves it open to water-type attacks
Man, the link battle I did has me itching to try out more with people around here.
Can't claim I'm any good like Ren is, but I can try battles if I'm available and you need someone to test stuff against
i don't have nso right now so i'll have to pass
Ah, that's alright.
Think I found one of the most effective matierial grinding spots.
Each Sableye Gem is worth 45% and you can go from 0 to 999 before your sandwich ends
This place is in Base Paldea btw
...Y'know, out of context a group of Sableye blocking your way out in a cave: Moderately terrifying
But here, it's mad cash
Nice spot!
i'm like 99% confident i've never found that trainer before
Ya, I woefully underexplored the caves in this game
Caves in these open world stuff tend to be the worst
It's probably just a thing with a lot of open world games as a whole, it would seem
why the fuck is a scizor swimming near the tera water rhydon place
finally got around to upgrading one of the biomes, took savanna for snivy encounter
so i'll be able to breed up a serperior now
i guess i'm just building threats for now
raised up a more doubles-oriented roaring moon, feels pretty good so far
hm
i'm thinking tera ground or tera fire would be better on serp than ||stellar tera||
that way it can still actually cover things with tera blast
i guess it's great on enamorus, tho
That's cause it is
good to know i'm not a complete idiot then lol
meanwhile in VGC it'd be
Top tier
Incin
after that rest
Styracosaurus and Pentaceratops
seem closest
I did put the bread on top, others didnt and Crispin had commentary on that 
Finally found my Shiny Minior!

💖 637 🔁 26
Austin John scaring his followers
No save, no damp
and gives it a turn to possible SD
Man the ||Meloetta Easter egg|| is so fucking cool
LETS GO!!!!
Ayyy Gogoat
Never got to pull all 2 Christmas banner successfully till now
I think I got Nessa when her banner was new but didn’t get Leon
Finally got a Grass support unit that ACTUALLY buff teams defensive stats
Okay fine I do have Acerola&Tapu Bulu but she doesn’t gives sp def
I am really liking the Parting Shot move now
||https://youtu.be/7CNZlhSnHBU?si=b0GxMkapPWuTg20C||
I'm legitimately in love with the OST for this DLC ngl
Our quest in the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero has culminated with the release of Part 2: The Indigo Disk! As usual, it's time to bask in the awesomeness that is new Pokemon Music! Enjoy! (And yes, there's Unova inspiration in there)
Check out more Music from Pokemon Scarlet & Violet here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfWN0njwvvKyxrIO6XHly...
B/W was my absolute favourite gen
So seeing all the remastered and remixed themes gave me so much joy
But ya, I love BW/B2W2
Especially ||Meloetta's Relic Song||
A bit sad they never remixed the E4 theme or the Gym Victorious theme
I'm just starting with the E4 Trials
||Lacey being Clay's daughter made me pogchamp irl||
Been running around catching everything that breathes ngl
Yeah when they mentioned that she was the ||daughter of a gym leader in Unova|| I kinda put two and two together
Considering she just ||randomly has an Excadrill||
||The Exadrill was the deadest giveaway for me lmao||
||But weirdly, on the map it says shes from Nimbasa, not Driftveil||
Also iirc ||Clays hair is pink too||
I initially thought Crispin was related to Cress/Cilian/Chili based off the design
I mean that's a dead giveaway
||name sounds similar, Dragon user AND from Opelucid?||
||Dragonic nepotism continues lmaoooo||
Ya, also also this is an actual spoiler because its not out yet ||Penny is Peonia's sister. So she's chairman Rose's niece too||
Well it's a good thing I've yet to play ||Sw/Sh|| because I got no clue who those are
Ah, to give you the skinny ||Their from the Crown Tundra DLC and Peony is Chairman Rose's brother, but not evil. One of his daughters is Peonia and now Penny. I have yet to play that DLC either, but iirc he actually laments not being there to stop his brother||
I dunno if Raz has the DLC but I was planning on giving her a little something she would enjoy in a trade
||It’s a Chikorita||
||some people were using this as evidence clay married elesa, but i don't buy that||
also ||find it funny lacey's all about cuteness and has a random g-slowbro in her team||
||(presumably bc it's pink-adjacent)||
Oh ya, that too
Reminds me of the prankster eject button trick stuff i did for early SWSH
Oh right, those ribbon and star sweets were event-exclusive in Sword/Shield, yeah?
gj gamefreak
none of those ar ehard up until the super hard difficulty
then it gets pretty ridiculous
the jump between hard and super hard is pretty nuts
oh also team star battles don't upgrade post dlc, sadly
Alllright, went reporting back to Perrin and got...
...A Sport Ball
Eh. I suppose that's alright.
||Alright, I think I prepared well enough, time to finally go deep-diving into Area Zero... again!||
||Annnnd name-drop for Part 2 comes into play.||
The clod
||Ooooookay, experienced a new Tera type... and I have no clue what it even did||
||Glimmora ended up doing something, though, but I'm unsure just what||
Ya, now theyre only in the item maker
do you want a mechanics explanation?
Cool, glad they can make more
So do ou want me to breakdown exactly what it does for ya Symph?
||Honestly? Yeah, I'm lost on just what happened||
Kk so ||your base Type(s) dont change, that Glimmora was still Ground/Poison. However each of the moves get a boost, once for each type. Imagine you had the old Gen 5 Gems for each type, each boosting a move by 1.2× ||
Also, ||Tera Blast will always hit a pokemon for weakness, but it makes you go -1 Atk and SpAtk||
||Innnnnteresting. Good to know||
||that latter bit is why people are hyping enamorus rn||
||Contrary go BBRRRRRRRR||
||That honestly sounds pretty cool. It's not a type per se, but an augmentation to what they can already do||
Ya, exactly.
||It still feels so weird how the only lasting remnant of these silly gems is the Normal Gem. This does bring back those feelings, albeit in a Tera type||
||Besides Enamorous, people are speculating that mons that run a wide variety of moves types will be decent with Stellar, like Archaludon||
||I think most anything with Contrary can work with this, or simply mons that don't care too much about their ATK or SP.ATK stat being lowered||
||Or a lot of all-out attackers that don't use any sorts of status moves||
||Soooo much Carbink down here. Fitting, of course.||
Here is a guide on how to EASILY isolate shiny hunt Mudkip in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk DLC

Cyndaquil~
||Annnnd that's game!||
||Discovered the hidden treasure, finally figured out the mystery, and I think Kieran is finally himself again!||
||always hit a terad Mon for weakness*||
Ah yes ||the ex champion||
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
Alllright, new stuff happening!
Finally found this Snacksworth
...He's very menacing in some subtle way that I can't properly put my finger on. It's likely the way he refers to legendary mons as if they were old friends, and has like so many stories behind them
I wonder if he's based on someone in GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company, or Creatures Inc.
Ok, wow this fully upgraded item printer is just the best
Alllright, after capturing an Electivire I only got a few more pages left to go on the 'dex
Managed to catch ||Gouging Fire in a Beast Ball after 5 of them. I have 6 left and am on my 7th reset with Raging Bolt and he is not cooperating lmao||
With the power of flight active
I guess it’s a good time as any to find some legends
I’ll go off finding Reshiram first, then Ho-Oh
…Annnnd Reshiram encountered!
Man, Battle! Reshiram is still just fantastic
A fun tidbit about the music I realized: the music is different based on whenever or not you are battling Reshiram, Zekrom or Kyurem it seems
With Reshiram, it’s the sound of flames roiling(?), Zekrom’s track has crackling lightning
And Kyurem’s excludes these extra sounds, leaving behind silence
Imma gonna go up to the top of the terarium
I must know the secrets hidden out of reach!
…Y’know, good idea
^
Not true actually
They add a bass riff, along with making the percussion slightly louder
So Darkai is good at checking Gholdengo, if they don't just terra ice and sweep your team
Fair and balanced mon that should not be banned at all
@mighty storm what would you say, how fast I need to be to get at least 1 or 2 shiny from the outbreak event 
Ah, yeah my mistake
But yea, it's a very cool detail
Love carrying sucker punch to hit before they make it rain and then they just go "what if ice type"
That i wish they did more often
Simply click flamethrower 4head
I had Darkrai out, not moth
Does darkrai have flamethrower actually?
Nope
Huh
He gets ice beam tho
He also gets taunt and sucker punch
There's a strong argument for darkrai to run mixed attacker sets rn
The idea of Darkrai forcing people cryo sleep 
Now I kinda want a good ice move that does sleep status lmao
You actually don't carry any sleep stuff on Darkrai
Now that dark void and hypnosis suck, you bring him as a mixed attacker with a colorful movepool and 380 speed
Nothing up on the shiny disco ball of Tera power save for a bunch of goodies
And ethereal music
Honestly
darkrai paying for smeargle's sins
Debating finding either Ho-Oh or Solgaleo next
Ho-Oh I really like
But Battle! Solgaleo & Lunala just slaps
Love that track
And then the code in so that the move only does anything if the mon using it is darkrai anyway
?????????
It never was
Wherein it only worked if Volcanion used it
Only dark void works like that
Quick question, what’s its ability?
It was an earlier version of Scarlet/Violet
Bad dreams
I think
Bad Dreams!
Any mons asleep take damage each turn
It’s basically like the now-defunct move Nightmare
Mm, guess can’t change it to fit what you want for Dark Void
Dark Void’s draw I think was it hits both of your opponent’s mons in a battle
So it was incredibly dangerous in double battles once
Mythical pokemon cant be uses in doubles
Really, anything
Just the darkrai only line would've fixed the problem
Does make me wish Sing had better accuracy
But they just HAD to nerf the move into oblivion anyway
Honestly…
It’s the de-facto attack that makes things fall asleep so I do wish it had like, not awful accuracy
Maybe the same as Sleep Powder
meanwhile spore exists
Yeah, no way it can oust Spore
Still does beg the question why Sleep Powder and Spore coexist
Honestly I was terrified of Darkrai coming back to OU but he's legit fine
My fav are flinch, para and burn, so much easier to land
Both are grass type moves whereas Spore is just “Sleep Powder but mushroom themed”
Without dark void, his biggest draw is that he sucker punches you and also hits 3 dark pulses
I just realized how lucky we were they didn’t make an instant freeze status move like they did with Will o wisp and thunder wave

A move like that probably will not exist for awhile
We'd only ever get that if freeze because frost burn
Freeze is a coin flip on whenever or not you thaw something out
Tbh I'd prefer frost burn anyways
Compared to sleep having a set number of turns before the victim wakes up
tbf there are more moves that circumvent freeze than sleep
Freeze is 10% chance you lose the game bullshit
but those moves are mostly random fire moves
Flame Wheel, Flare Blitz
It's funny how you can freeze firetypes at all
Mostly anything that sets the user on fire before they barrel in
Frostburn being special attacking burn is really useful imo
You tell me moltres wouldnt thaw out in 5 seconds?
Magma Armor is an ability some fire types have
But it’s just so infrequent is the issue
frostbite probably isn't gonna be in a standard pokemon game anytime soon
they had a chance with gen 9 and didn't take it
so i have little hope
Frostbite is honestly a bit scary in stall
Sucks, because it's so much better than "woops they landed the 10% chance on ice beam, you lose"
Like, imagine if they could just status cripple entire teams
Really, I’m more surprised a move doesn’t exist yet that is intended to capitalize on the frozen status
there's no move in the game that guarantees a freeze, so a move like that would be hard to use
Krokorok chilling in more ways than one
It would have to be a stupidly powerful move in such a case
most things are 10%, with blizzard being 30% unless they changed that somewhere down the line
At least they changed hail
Smile
Snowscape is nice
Hail just seemed pointless
Like you already were not banking on the sandstorm for a grind game unless it was like
You knew the opponent has a focus sash and decided to use Max Rockfall to score a one-turn KO that way
I do kinda wish it had another effect outside of the ice type def boost
Even it was a really small one
very quickly even with charm only
symph did you fly to the top of the terarium?
My main target is Milcery- and that’s the problem, it’s horrible shiny example No. 63

which makes one wonder how they got that whole thing set up underwater without something going horribly wrong
Btw, how difficult is the dlc2 stuff?
the terarium is underneath the academy proper, which in turn is pretty tall, and is also all underwater
Honestly? Surprisingly difficult
If you aren’t with some competitive battle knowledge it could be very difficult
dlc2 isn't that bad if you're good at doubles : ^)
Finally
It’s a real exercise in double battle strategies
That’s boosting my confidence playing part 2 tonight 
I've been playing persona 5 recently and the game was so easy it was putting me to sleep
If you need help we can provide em though!
overleveling can help if you struggle, but yes, you'll want to play some shit halfway competently
I can battle ya if you need a practice opponent
the random mob trainers are whatever, but the actually important ones all use competitively relevant strategies
I cant do online stuff on switch due to
Ahem
you'll see weather, speed control, etc
reasons
Ah, it’s alright
Garganacl earthquake with Kilowattrel goes to my mind 
Yeah, I did fine but I will admit I had a good few rough spots during battles
Oh that's cute
Mostly me being stupid with trying new strategies
Like say
Neutralizing Gas + Slaking
Also did they remove smack down? I swear I haven’t seen it for so long
Smack Down is a thing
Actually
…It’s not too common but it is a thing
Lemme check something
But yeah; I made it in battles well without any losses but I sure felt like I was on the edge of the ring a few times due to some bad luck or trying new things
Oh yeah, and Zane! We usually group up sometimes to do BBQ group quests if you’re interested in that
You’ll need a lot of BP for some stuff in the league club, so we can help if needed
But all in all, you’ll likely enjoy it
Youch
Hang on, are there anything from part 1 that I have to do before part 2 for full exp?
I’m still at, Kieran and Carmine going back to academy
Ping me when that happens 
Not sure timezones helps here
Oh yea btw
What's there to do in the game once you beat the main game and dlc?
Grind raids forever?
Shiny hunt 
well shiny hunt for one
Which game you have?
Violet
beat it?
Found my way to Ceruledge item 
I guess so?
Aw
What the hell, price here down to around 1100 rm last I watch
Okay that we both are same
Sadly 
Gotta love no regional pricing, amirite
Love being expected to have the same spending power as people in first world countries

Best around when you have lv 60 I think? 
Idk if they adjust levels to your current strength
first dlc is accessible quite early in the game
and is properly scaled
it's only 60+ if you've beaten the game
dlc2 requires you to beat dlc1 and also requires you to have beaten the game, so everything is level 75+
Quite glad I trained a Flutter Mane for Dialga and Palkia last weekend 
to be on par with enemy trainers i would recommend around level 80
or you can use your team of level 100s
||not that it'll help you in drayton's trial||
Upper Hand is a very intriguing move
It’s a weird priority sorta move in that it’s designed to punish other priority moves
But I feel it just falls in the same boat as Feint: Good when it works, but you got to be in a position for it to work
my way too early take is that it's not very good
if you have a move that has some condition to be useful, that condition needs to be something that's.....actually useful to fulfill
sucker punch and thunderclap are far less restrictive and, iirc,have more bp
upper hand needed more bp for its tighter condition imo
and even then it'd still be even more prediction-reliant than the other moves i mentioned
Some new bugs and oversights have been acknowleged in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. First, if you level up Inkay using Candy under Level 30 the game will stop receiving input. In addition to that, TM223 is requiring Shieldon parts despite Shieldon not being available in Pokémon Scarlet. As such, this will be adjusted. This will be fixed in a patch due out in late January
incidentally, a metal sound mystery gift distribution was announced
そういうの・・・よくないと思いますーーーーーー!!!

A new adventure in the Land of Kitakami awaits! An epilogue for #PokemonScarletViolet ❤️💜 The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero arrives on January 11, 2024!
@random stream
I like how we always get this about chi yu after a dlc drops
after home it was about otking cress
then chi yu like barely sees any play
chi yu will be the fourth(?) best fire type in the format
For whatever reason ||I went back down to the Area Zero Depths, and found some other path blocked off. Could not find anything to unseal it, so I looked on the desk next to the elevator||
||An eastern land…? Guess they must mean the Crystal pool? Maybe there’s a clue there.||
||And I went to Kitakami, to the Crystal Pool and… what||
||I think I might have seen something||
My boy. My terrible stats boi
||Far as my knowledge meant, this could be a dream, I saw the real Professor Sada, or her Android… or this is just some space/time stuff that made the meeting possible||
||It was somewhat touching to see her again. We traded books and: wait what, the title screen?||
||…Oh man did I mess with the timeline trading books||
||Now I’m seriously spooked.||
A-anyways…
Likely!
||turo mentions about getting an white book from a weird looking kid on a weird lake||
||when you're on area zero with briar||
||then later you give the white book to him||
Well, time to start a new day…?
Wait, Giacomo and Eri are at the entrance of Naranja, what?
yes
team star side quest time?
Ok it took me way too long to find them
Evidently they are in school uniform for once
Only recognized Giacomo at first cause, honestly, how can I forget Inspector Gadget
||it's the real Sada||
@pseudo goblet btw, if you want Star or Ribbon Sweets, youll have to get them from the Item Maker, so try to find a Union Circle group and grind BP for that first
Hang on I literally just stepping into part 2 dlc, like rn 
@bleak pine it seems ||That the entire stroy stems from a Bootstrap paradox which "is a kind of paradox in which information or a person or an object sent back in time creates an infinite loop where the person or the object has no observable origin". So this confirms the Paradox Pokemon are actually from the past/future and not purely from imaginations/dreams influencing Tera crystals to create them as some people||
Cyrano just said ‘tada we re here’
Ok lol, jumped the gun a bit lol
And btw @fading stratus
Already, I like Lacey’s character lol
Oh Cyrano too
Also I got the lock on upgrade with my BP, I can now see when something has a mark
Ya thats such a convient upgrade
Especially when I hunt Destiny mark Shiny Paradox mons on my birthday
Also, I have a Rowlett outbreak so I may go for a shiny marked one of those
||oh about the "paradoxes actually being from the past and future", they mentioned its from other timelines. So they are not actually from our past and future||
Ooohx doubles right off the bat, BRING IT LIL LASS
||Which solves the paradox of the beast paradoxes. It's not impossible for a different timeline to have an ancient suicune/entei/raikou||
And~~ she does have the ||pika clones||, okay 
||Fair, also in a sense you could say there was one version of the timeline where Briar wrote the White Book without any of the Profs notes, and that encounter in Kitakami happened and they received the book from that original timeline, but now everytime the cycle repeats accross timelines it does so as seen in game|| God I hope I articulated that correctly
Wanna know the possible reason why she has them? It's not a spoiler
Sure
Yup my doubles skill hasn’t improve since Pokemon Brick Bronze, god
Wait…. Oh dear 
and Plusle Minun are red and blue like Elsa's headphone spikes
So it's possible her team to introduce you to the academy is a combination of her parents mons (especially her last mon)
||we know that she is clay's kid but people making theories about elsa to which i doubt||
Crap~~~~… mold breaker
Plusle+Minun cuz electric and ||her dad's excadrill||
dont click the end until you see her third
OH COME ON, HER TEAM ANNOYS ME 
@mighty storm question, how soon will the game let me freely shiny hunt and no more cut scene? 😅
very soon
like 10x sooner than dlc1
Wait she knows I didn’t Tera??? Creepy

what you mean creepy
The part of that theory probably comes from ||her being from Nimbasa and her using the electric types that first time||
she was fighting you lol
Like I know about the Ogrepon dialogue difference, kinda, but idk 
Yeah she's from Nimbasa, so she's for sure Elesa's kid
Idk, them specifically have trainer actually looking at what you do, and not just simple dialogue
The Carmine dialogue was a pleasant surprise
||the power move of walking up to her and saying "hah, no"||
‘Excadrill is a lot speedier then it looks’ YOU DONT SAY!
What the choosing biome for??
Savanna I suppose
Affects what Pokémon you run into iirc?
Just hope I didn’t pick wrong
Also, FREEDOM!!! WHERES THEM SENTIENT MILK
Yup… it’s hard to notice which one is the shiny…
on an unrelated note
its just dialogue
Pretty sure they are just asking which one you like the most
Doesn’t have much meaning aside from conversation
You think Excadrill is fast? Wait til a Sandstorm starts blowing through
Btw @pseudo goblet incase you didnt see
Took some time because unfortunately in SV you cant manipulate the clock super easily
Y’know that’s nice how you don’t have to constantly change the clock
But I do wish there was a way to forward time in case you wanted to do stuff at night or during the day
You can do it, its just annoying
Oh really?
Hard save, quit the game, system setting adjust time by X min, boot up game
just flavor
…Ech
Only goes forward though
you get sent to the same spot regardless
Honestly would say I am better off waiting in that case
And Even8ng which you need for Rainbow Alcreamie is 3 in gane minutes
Speen real quick!

Epilogue revealed
||The new battle theme for that goes stupid hard||
nice of them to announce this 22 days before the event item goes live
My need to complete the living dex in took the wheel on that one
Heres hoping we also get the IV reducer that was long rumoured
Alllright, went and found Solgaleo on top of the league HQ building
I feel like the literal emissary of the sun landing on top of the building would be cause for alarm, but eh
@mighty storm @spice rivet Relief sigh*
Also as per usual, found Solgaleo cause the music slaps
Ayy
took me a sec to see the shiny
Nice!
Milcery I think is pretty nice in double battles too, but I haven’t done much experimenting on that
Lv 59
Deciding premier ball or luxary, I’m thinking luxary
Milcery Pokémon Serebii.net Pokédex providing all details on moves, stats, abilities, evolution data and locations for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Okay looks like she don’t know self killing move, thanks bro
Thing to note is, Alcremie’s decorate move raises the Atk and Sp. Atk stat of the target by two stages
It’s very very big, but Alcremie is pretty sluggish
GOT HER
So it may need some support of its own to deliver it
4 mins left for sandvich
Really mints are a dime a dozen so tweaking it isn’t so hard
Amazing how mints went from something that you needed to battle a whole bunch for
||You did not open that path doing that, btw||
To being something that literally grows from a common garden
Yes I used one on a already easy outbreak, it’s 2 am okay lmao
||Yeah, there’s some hidden terastalized mon somewhere I gotta smack around likely, it’s just a matter of finding it||
Do you want a hint?
Eh, sure
||There's a part of the later areas of the depths that does a good job of hiding a path forward||
Righto
Ops, killed the whole outbreak
HOLY

Pwfffff
It is a pretty dumb bug, but I'm glad it got addressed
Just glad it's only Metal Sound
Can't think of too much utilities it has, save for in Tera Raid battles
I found a raid build for terapagos, gonna use mine for raids
Note the poster said 0 atk IV just means no need to bottle cap it's atk
oh yeah I caught terapagos in a friend ball in case anyone was curious
Dream Ball!
I got like 4 of these Beast Balls, and it's super tempting to want to use it, but given how the capture rate is so low, I'm afraid the only real time to fling one is when I complete a Tera Raid battle
Argh
would recommend giving tera starstorm pp ups since iirc it only has 5 base pp
yeah I maxed out the PP for its attacks
Was looking to take a new picture for my profile and just hit upon such a cool detail
Apparently my camera now has music you can play
It's the Pokémon March and Lullaby, as well as the battle theme from GSC
That's so cool!
I thought it was neat but pointless, but as it turns out if you're taking a picture of your Pokémon with it, they'll do certain things depending on the tune
yup
You know what would make a good profile pic? The top of the terarium
...Yeah, it might
Not a whole lot going up there, and the view's super nice
Might have some nice lighting
I finished the DLC last night and there's still some loose ends for me at least
||does the game outright say if the Paradox mons are actually from the past/future? Might’ve missed it if yes but no explanation as to why they exist is a bit odd||
Just got hit by a switcheroo from a porygon z where it gave my gliscor it's toxic orb???
Sure

Minior are nice
A shame that they decidedly should not remain out of their rocky casing for so long, or they literally disintegrate
So did they explain yet how the past versions of the beasts exist when Ho-Oh created them
||Alternate timeline||
There's something funny about how you get attacked by your own Focus Sash
And then it ends up saving you from a KO anyways
Yep, Klutz
Ignores held item's effects, so moves like Trick, Switcheroo and Bestow can wreak havoc on something
It's something Swoobat and Lopunny can use to good effect, too
Got memed on by a weird set
||The plan of the time machine according to the real professor is taking them from a different timeline. The paradox pokemon theoretically don't come from our timeline, but now they exist in our timeline through the machine acting as a gate between the two||
To compare to apples
||Professor Sada made a machine to receive purple apples from timelines that have purple apples, and now there is purple apples in our timeline purely cuz she brought one over||
Hehe, apples
...Speaking of apples, ||I still haven't figured out the secret behind how you can evolve a Dipplin into Hydrapple. Maybe somewhere in the Terrarium has a clue.||
||Not asking for hints on this one though!||
So, the league club shirt, and some kind of coat-jersy... and the friggin tassel.
Yep, we got some inspiration from Lance here
Only thing missing is the cape. Which, I guess the jacket fits the mold for
Im sure Drayton would cheer for an apple
Didn't think I'd like him all that much, but he's pretty great
or 8
He called me "Champ in the Making", too!
I missed that bit of validation everytime I do a challenge
But for real, you gonna have a hard time figuring it out without a hint.
That guy in the front of every gym, I really do miss. Shame it went away in Sun/Moon
Ehh, it's fine.
sorry without a hint*
It'll feel more real when I figure it out
...Just so long as it isn't stupid, like how you figure out the trick to evolving a Galarian Yamask into Runerigas
Also, gonna just put here for some for real spoilers based on what I'm giving Raz, if they want it. So uh, no clicky for raz
||It's an egg. It's got Chikorita in it. Just, figured it'd be a nice thing to give||
Symph how do you feel about mons like Ambipom, Tangrowth, and Yanmega?
If you love them, you'll love Dipplin's evo
Well, I wished DPPT didn't do so much of these kinds of evolutions since it was half new stuff and half stuff that build on things existing
But other than that, some of em are pretty nice
...Oh, you mean some other kind of how I feel
Hmm
That's the one hint I'm giving you, cheering you on to find out how to evolve it.
I figured it out
||I dunno if it was the Dragon Cheer I taught it, Infestation or whatever it was||
Since both seemed like they made sense
||Wait, Fickle Beam? What?||
||Yep it's level up knowing dragon cheer||
||Oh, this move looks really dumb in the right way||
||I didn't know it had it, since my Blaziken just destroyed Kieran's Hydrapple so quickly.||
||Fickle Beam is hydrapple's signature move, just wait till you see it's full power animation||
||Brave Bird, yo||
||Ok but it feels kinda... interesting how it requires a TM.||
mandatory phillybeatzu post
going for sandwich 3 on minior tomorrow
They refuse to do battle with a shiny, which is certainly appreciated
Yeaa
I just made 1 million off of the haul from the item printer
I think I might be the cause of Paldea's economy crashing
I remember when cramomatic in Isle of Armor had an infinite money exploit
Insert Cheri Berry, get Heat Crash
yup exactly
It's a lot more random, but it's got so much good stuff for grabs once you finally upgrade it enough
Of course now I'm conflicted since I want to use it, but I also want to invite guests to Blueberry Academy for coaching
Fun thing I also noticed about this TM: Charizard can learn it
coaching eventually leads to a free shiny
For something that people poke fun at for not being a "dragon" type, Charizard sure does a good job at having the heart of one.
Even funnier though, is Cranidos learns it too
||i see what yo udid there||
Also I kinda wanna do a special run (even though I still have yet to finish my second playthrough) where I play through the game using only coaching trades
The "Gym Heroes" challenge, they should call it!
Named after that TCG set based on Gym Leaders and their partners
https://serebii.net/scarletviolet/leagueclubtrades.shtml full list of all the trades, pretty good team variety
I didnt check how much BP coaching is tho
got some bad news for ya
I could probs get like, Zane, Yoz and ya for another go-around for BBQ's
I think Zane begun Part 2 recently, too
iirc it's 200 per coach, and you'll probably want to bring them in multiple times (since that's how you access trading)
Welp
So a lot, well I can get Symph and others to help with that
I can only use 6 mons on a team at a time anyway and don't need the full 6 right from the start.
So finding those Ditto Blocks will be much less painful
nickname koraidon agias for amarys solidarity

Pikachu+Tailmon/Gatomon has been quite a thing recently in twitter
Either
A) Theyre from an alternate timeline.
B) Ho-oh created/resurrected specifically the Legendary Beasts from the burned tower, but the Legendary Beasts are still naturally occuring Pokemon who eventually had Darwin style evolution from their Paradox forms over time
It's ||A if we are to believe the professor||
Oversight not bug
I'm not sure why Centro wants to call everything a bug
because calling it a bug gets him more clicks and more attention
why else would he do anything
Hehehe
Klutz stratus
I personally like the assault vest version
Quiz: neutralizing gas gweezing is standing Infront of a guts ursaluna, the ursaluna has headlong rush, facade, supercell slam and gunk shot and is currently burnt
What move does the most damage to gweezing?
||Facade!||
||I think no matter what, Facade ignores the ATK reduction the burn status gives||
||Found the Depths secret||
||Had to fight a Garchomp: cause of course it would be a Garchomp. Couldn’t have that battle be against something like Roaring Moon, could it?||
||Oh dear god there was so much item balls inside||
||Pretty sure I picked up one bundle of each Tera shard, plus the TM’s for Tera Blast and Meteor Beam||
Alright, guess I’ll go track down uh… Glastrier and Entei next
Correct
how much did you finish
Tbh the 2nd trip into Area Zero felt like something was missing
Like first time around it was genuinely cool having Nemona/Arven/Penny walking alongside you and talking about random shit
I think that's it tbh
stopped before Lacey tell me to coastal class lmao
wanted to get Shiny Alcremie first
Iirc @golden lance You like gen 5 right https://vxtwitter.com/64ibon/status/1737465028511682705?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw
Yes
Nice

found the pic i took months ago
havent got a new one since, really should check whats new
Crap lol
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@mighty storm @spice rivet guess what I found
ooh nice
OH GOD it started running away after I took the picture

Perfect time for dusk ba- and it is caught 
Reminded I had a shiny yellow Flabebe in UltraSun, so I’m basically ‘done’ with the shiny outbreak event
Gonna go try find more shiny Milcery anyways before the time runs out
Also, Arceus damn it Gamefreak, next time pick easier to notice shiny Pokémon for these event 
I found the thing
Oooh Magby, catching it just in case it’s annoying to encounter for dex later
I caught Kubfu in a dive ball and Latios in a premiere ball
Why dive ball, other than rapid style 
explicitly cuz rapid style
first games where rapid style can even be in a dive ball 😄
Honestly I can’t remember what form I gave my Galar Kubfu, smart move would be SV Kubfu the other form
its easy to get multiple of the SWSH Kubfu tho
at least comparative to getting Kubfu in SV

Wait it was possible to have two??? 
yes, DLC isnt account locked on switch and you can transfer between different switch accounts through bank
Oh the indigo disks solution to the paradox pokemon has funny implication for iron treads
Or the hydreigon one
How so
I mean
The infamous “hydreigon fell in love with a machine” dex entry
Alright, lead idea for double battles:
Kommo-O and Clefairy
Ideally, I'd get Clefairy to use Protect first turn, for it to prevent any damage it'll be receiving, and Kommo-O uses Clangorus Soul to boost all it's stats (And an additional bonus to Sp. ATK with the Throat Spray held item). Friend Guard reduces the damage Kommo-O takes, should it be targetted for an attack, and Clefairy is invulnerable during this in all likelihood.
Hrrrm.
Of course, now I'm wondering if using some standard Dragon or Fighting type Special Attacks are the most helpful, or if I could just throw caution to the wind and stick to Boomburst.
Y'know, I kinda feel like Dragon-type moves aren't really as powerful as most others make them out to be
noone makes dragon type attacking moves to be broken
Then again, there isn't many things they are bad against, either, so it balances out, much like the normal type
Oh, yeah, Rage Powder is a thing that exists
Kinda forgot about it when Follow Me is a thing
rage powder is one of the things that makes amoongus as broken as it is in doubles
Seems Volcarona, Toedscruel and Scovillain learns it too. Hmm!
a lot of mons do
volcarona is decent
other 2 aren't
todescruel specifically is held back by its ability
Honestly, Scovillain being a Grass/Fire Type is pretty sick, considering it can have the Chlorophyll ability too
Meaning stuff like Fire Blast and Solar Beam are going to each hurt a whole bunch
basically symph if you really need a chlorophyll mon just lead torkoal lilligant
lilligant me first into tera fire charcoal erruption
Honestly only do a lot of casual stuff with battling, but learning the ins and outs of what makes things work well is nice
And I try to always bring the best out of whatever I choose to initiate a battle with
learning is always good :p
also you should get into competitive doubles
its fun js
its a format where brambleghast is actually decent
I might be more inclined towards some friendly multi battles
I imagine the deal is the same there, save for four people being present, yeah?
Tag Force!
doubles is just team of 6 take 4 to every game
multi would probably be idk 3 from each player or sth
I booted up Mystery Dungeon DX again, totally forgot where I left off
Now I remember why I never finished it
Ayyy Skitty
rather follow me to draw away things like fake out and other single target hits from kommo-o
obv you choose based on the situation, but if your opponent has a known fake out mon, you try to stop that
you can double protect turn 1 to scout out
can also double tect, ye
Ah, good point
Fake out won't hurt too much anyways, so at the least, Clefairy could survive the hits
It's very funny to me how the gen 7 battle tree is still soloed by a single crocune set
The very slow snowball is stupid
Decided to try and catch Kyogre, and it's painful
Aqua Ring, ARGH
Wait, Kyogre knows muddy water, What?
Kyogre finding new ways to rub salt into groudon's wounds 
cuz mud is technically a mix of earth and water
Ayyy, found a shiny Charcadet
anyone free tomorrow or Saturday?
or tonight?
wanna do a quick 'raidon swap to finish my Paldea dex
I still have not caught the treasures of ruin
but they're the lasat thing after the legendaries
@sleek sky which raidon you need?
mirai
oh yeah tomorrow I can give you miraidon
big grazi
you need the korai, or anything?
probably don't have it, but you can ask
lol
nah I dont need koraidon
Oh cool, battling Latios plays the Battle! Theme for wild Pokémon from Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
a girl and her pet dog, tiger, and giraffe
Tfw you lost suicune to a thunder crit on the switch and now a pelliper is walling you
Stockpile roost surf pelliper...toxapex is walling, but it's walled itself. This is just pp stalling at its finest
Oh god, last mon is a dd feraligatr, someone save me pls
I thought my game was lagging during the SV intro cutscene
Which one
I forgot it really was just a powerpoint presentation during clavell's monologue
Btw Choccy, you might be able to ‘trade’ afterall, Pokemon HOME mobile
Just… save the time by doing the giving offer yourself and not look for others…
I think i can do that, yea
Let me check
Something Idk how to use lol
Alright
Paldean tauros' model is acting up but other than that the game runs fine
30 fps 
The ones I dont have are Clefable(sorry ren), Dodrio, Sableye and Cramorant
I was considering Sableye, but second thought with Dodrio
Dodrio is 14k coin while Clefable and Sableye are 12k, Cramorant is 8k
Also DAMN these new holowear really looks great
I want the Goodra one so badly 
I went with Blastoise despite 8k coin
I'd say yes
Since the teams are more balanced around the lower levels
They're 10-30 pre champion and while higher post, their teams aren't exactly strong
I have been alerted that Emma’s helmet from the XY postgame is an accessory in the dlc
Now I feel more obligated to get it…
Oh did you get Emma in Pokemon masters?
Yeah
Oh hey, Atticus is actually selling clothes at Porto Marina
That’s cool
…clothes that cost like, 100,000 for whatever reason
Eh, it’s fine. He’s nice so the price going towards supporting him is fine
It a cool thing about these newer games: you just got much, much more variety
Certainly beats having stuff like, nothing much but Ratatta or Pidgey on your way when you begin
The south area is surprisingly big too, so there a looooot of stuff to find too
Made lunatone with polymer clay 🙂
He does lol
@golden lance are you playing through SV for the first time?
That actually sounds pretty cool
poggee
I'll be free for like, BBQ, Oustin', free battles or whatever else for now
They should reban Roaring Moon
It's so easy to sweep
Booster is also kinda crazy ngl
