[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Ah, physical memory that remained

[pseudo goblet]

Funny how, people are happy to find their first ever shiny despite what kind of pokemon

Mine was Zubat (who I now affectionately named it Lee)

[mighty storm]

https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/sun-moon/shiny/raticate-alolan.png

used the chonky boi on a team once, was so worth

[pseudo goblet]

I’m sensing sadness, you okay?

[mighty storm]

Nah Im not sad

Just remembering the first (hunted) shiny of my life. The first shiny random was a green onix way back in diamond

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right

Both different

Also, something unexpected, family going out and bought breakfast for me, they found these for me lol

[mighty storm]

Ok we need a regional variant of gengar

[spice rivet]

(Torkoal switched out that turn which is why the Ogrepon didnt Follow Me)

[fading stratus]

no way that kills wtf

even if its tera water

[waxen moat]

Yadon > Udon is about as simple as it gets and Kagawa prefecture is famous for udon.. so they made it their prefectural mascot

[fading stratus]

oh

[waxen moat]

All the slowpoke costume stuff, the buses, the slowpoke park, the manhole covers are mostly all from Kagawa

[fading stratus]

omg these are the same girls from the above gif

[fading stratus]

wow it was such a close roll

if you play the bulky specs set

of 212 132

(assuming urshifu was adamant 252 and bolt was modest 108 i.e standard evs )
nvm it was 87.5% chance to kill I brought out the ruler

[pseudo goblet]

Delicious udon 🤤

[spice rivet]

Urshifu is 252 Atk, but Raging Bolt is actually 0 Sp Atk

But it was Protosynthesis boosted

[fading stratus]

wait why are you on 0spA

also that 87.5% chance was after the raging bolt damage

[pseudo goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/oshiruko_s2/status/1769272574998171928?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

Feels like a love letter to Kalos fans

[fading stratus]

cool stuff

[pseudo goblet]

finished max friendship with Wally, this alt of his might be worth investing

[fading stratus]

ewwwwwww delcatty

[pseudo goblet]

At least it’s better than what they gave N

[fading stratus]

sigilyph is actually a decent mon

part of it being its competitor being fucking swoobat

[pseudo goblet]

Xatu is better I assume

[fading stratus]

black white flying pool is so bad

bro xatu isnt even in black white

and idt xatu is better

[pseudo goblet]

I mean outside of gen 5
But okay

dealing with Gladion's now

[fading stratus]

even outside gen 5 psychic flying pool is really bad

like best one is probably hraviary

[pseudo goblet]

oh the Hisuian yeah

what about Lugia

[fading stratus]

(non legendary)

I don't use legendaries when i play main series games

[pseudo goblet]

was about to mention Oricorio lol

i assume the electric one is better

[fading stratus]

oricorio sucks
the electric is best yes

psychic in general is a sad typing nowadays

[pseudo goblet]

Lose to edgy dark emos

[fading stratus]

i think its about time they buff psychic types

[pseudo goblet]

Buff Bug types first

[fading stratus]

I mean I like bugs too

they're cool

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/grubbin-pokemon-bug-larval-beetle-grub-gif-26484001

[fading stratus]

vro vikavolt is so fast that it doesn't appear to be moving

[pseudo goblet]

We need a Bug legendary pokemon base on caucasus beetles

Totally said that because of Kingohger

[fading stratus]

we still don't have a bug legendary

which is funny

[pseudo goblet]

among many other things

[fading stratus]

when are we getting a bug legendary whose ability is dragon's maw on steroids

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-friendship-beetle-mobile-rhinoceros-beetle-gif-19060316

[fading stratus]

heracross is cool

guts saved a lot of my run

[pseudo goblet]

whats the best possible type to pair with Bug??

[fading stratus]

uhh

good question

I think bug fire is a decent combo tbh just look at volcarona

[pseudo goblet]

damn, thought Dragon Bug could be something good, thought Bug resist fairy

its the other way around

[fading stratus]

bug water is probably also a decent combo

water is like one of the 3 best types in the game

bug steel is also kinda bonkers defensively

[pseudo goblet]

With flash fire in double

or any debuff against fire

[fading stratus]

eh you really don't need that

bug steel is kinda great offensively too

and defensively they have one weakness

i'd honestly have a offensive ability

than thick fat or flash fire

[pseudo goblet]

Okay true, forgot bug is more about offense

[fading stratus]

no bug is more about sucking

[pseudo goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/numegurashi/status/1769219296339853681?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

[spice rivet]

https://youtu.be/jTTnWt7FBys?si=IWP0aM3I1CDN632g

The logic for it is that you want max bulk to love as much as possible on the physical side, then Calm Mind 1-2 times which gives you even more bulk on the Special side and your actual damage output.

[fading stratus]

oh is it the volcarona team

[outer eagle]

loving only on the physical side
what about emotional love?

[fading stratus]

oh its just a metagross team

volc rilaboom incin urshifu bolt and pao has been a popular balance team rn

so I was excited thinking you were playing the same but welp

how could I not have known that you don't play non metagross teams

[bleak pine]

I thought this was about the TCG for a moment lol

[spice rivet]

Honestly, I do agree Metagross isnt that great overall. Ive just been too lazy to learn a new team atm.

And a decent amount of Bo1 cheese strats always helps

[fading stratus]

play this team
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1crc8SRRAbG0CcbrNSd9ygDtxrP60QWMZ-ttDFsbKNwU/edit

[bleak pine]

It's not a bad choice either, all in all. Crab tank is still Crab tank

Always up for those 600 base stat things that isn't yet another dragon

[fading stratus]

only good bo1 metagross cheese I can think of is banded explosion

tera normal

[spice rivet]

Honestly this looks pretty cool pun intended

[fading stratus]

best thing about frosmoth is it has insane snow matchup

[bleak pine]

Moth

[spice rivet]

Will def try it out soon!

[bleak pine]

Mothman

[spice rivet]

Oh god the Snow mu must be free with this lmao

[fading stratus]

yep ice scales paired with ice typing just makes you take no damage from blizzard

[bleak pine]

Extra Defense, extra everything with Aurora Veil, and of course, more stuff depending on the ability

It's a good time to Let It Snow

[spice rivet]

Also, just the other day I learnt that Heavy Slam and Heat Crash ignore Evasion boosts from Minimize and do double damage. I also thought it was just Stomp that did that.

[bleak pine]

Debating if you could also throw in Slowking, since it's got a really weird attack that sets in snow, and then switches it out

It's in a similar boat to Teleport, since Slowking is... well, slow.

[fading stratus]

I didnt know about heavy slam and heat crash either

slowking just...........sucks tbh

[bleak pine]

Yeah, a lot of big stompy attacks do that

Not just those, but i think Steamroller and Dragon Rush do it too

show that support for Ducky tho

[fading stratus]

psychic type is just unfortunate when a ghost type mon is on 60% of teams

[bleak pine]

Dragon Rush already does big damage, so getting smacked with that right after using Minimize would really be a feel bad moment

[pseudo goblet]

What y’all talking

[spice rivet]

Ya, unless youre a giraffe its hard to position psychic types rn

[fading stratus]

giraffe or bindedee

[fading stratus]

lol

[bleak pine]

I just love how Chilly Reception works

Slowking tells a joke.

A very bad joke, and it just begins to snow as Slowking waits on a laugh from someone, anyone. And then switches out.

[pseudo goblet]

There was a Japanese video similarly match this lol

Originally I thought they were using snowscape or blizzard, I did not know Chilly Reception until now

[pseudo goblet]

@bleak pine @fading stratus @mighty storm I need you guys to call me stupid, diss me even, especially from Bolt

I’m so fucking stupid…

Okay, the situation is, and put it simply, there’s this part of Masters that lets you upgrade an units move power

[fading stratus]

we know you're stupid
we don't need to say it outloud

(jk jk)

[pseudo goblet]

We need the corresponding item to do so, OR pull the unit again

For the past months I noticed I wasn’t able to use the red candies for the offense units, making me thought game is broken and making me limited to use the rarer yellow candies

I just found out that wasnt case, it was just that I don’t have any red candies LEFT in my bag, and game just show the yellow ones by default

All I had to do was to get more red candies 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

[pseudo goblet]

I insist, do it, or else I don’t feel right 💀

[fading stratus]

this is just funny

[pseudo goblet]

SRSLY, ITS JUST ME BEING STUPID, LIKE I WAS WORRIED OVER NOTHING!

Thank god I didn’t waste my omni class item yellow coins or candies, seriously I’ve try collecting these everyday, these are all I have

[pseudo goblet]

I could’ve, upgrade majority of my units, if I wasn’t stupid, I could’ve make them op, like Lunala, Tapu Lele, Ash, G-Moltres, Hilda&Diancie, Kyogre and Groudon, FREAKING Red&Articuno! 💀💀💀

Zygarde, Lugia and Excavalier too- omg

Sigh, visisting twitter to cool my head https://vxtwitter.com/usgmen_gif/status/1769329198697771110?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

@pseudo goblet zane do you have LGPE?

[pseudo goblet]

Ye actually, Eevee, why

[mighty storm]

trying to complete dex for shiny charm, and they made it so I cant just easily complete it by transferring from the regular games

so I could use some help finishing it

[pseudo goblet]

What’s the step?

[mighty storm]

double checking what I need specifically

I got 130 out of the 151 caught

[pseudo goblet]

Oh btw, I’m still at Blaine’s gym, as in I haven’t continue since that point lol

[mighty storm]

clefable, wigglytuff, oddish line, alakazam, machamp, golem, grimer line, gengar, hypno, horsea line, seaking, scyther, electabuzz, kabutops, and dragonair+dragonite

got the flareon

[pseudo goblet]

You fine doing it about 8 hours?

I could try finish my game if you want

[mighty storm]

uh lemme double check what time it is in 8 hours.

oh 4:33 AM, if Im awake then sure

[pseudo goblet]

If I don’t have OT then 6 or 7

[pseudo goblet]

Are they version exclusive or something?

[mighty storm]

some of them I think

[pseudo goblet]

You have Pikachu? As in game

[mighty storm]

I have eevee

[pseudo goblet]

Crap

Guess you’ll have to try find them in your other games

And HOME them in

[mighty storm]

I cant home them in, it only allows transfer from Go/letsgo

and home if the pokemon has yet to touch a mainline game

[pseudo goblet]

I guess I could try help with GO

If that’s the case

[mighty storm]

much appreciated

[pseudo goblet]

Hopefully nothing comes up near the end o- I forgot I easily jinx myself when saying unlucky things…

I only have 2 Iron Hands, I wouldn’t mind having a full team- and then some more of them

[fading stratus]

they actually know tera grass hands is good

[pseudo goblet]

Oh really, for Hands

[fading stratus]

grass resists ground

and is also good against common types like water

(but tera grass hands is good because it resists urshifu surging strikes )

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhhhh, keep the ground resist but also for Water

If just electric Tera then one is lost

[fading stratus]

tera electric isnt a bad offensive typing btw

but its niche

Yeah, Dragon Tamers are serious business lol

Does make me wonder what the whole business is on being a Dragon Tamer

Like, I imagine it's actually a title bestowed on someone, and not just something someone calls themselves.

[golden lance]

iirc it's kind of a tradition/lifestyle

as one of the prof's side stories in gen 9 focuses on him not wanting to become one in order to be a teacher

@mighty storm Gonna assume you don’t want Teleport for Calm Mind

[mighty storm]

delete the teleport yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Something cursed about seeing Caterpies inside Ultra Balls

Hmm, what now

[mighty storm]

hypno, horsea line, seaking, kabutops, and dragonair+dragonite

the dratini would work here

sure I would need to train it, but I dont even know where to find one

[pseudo goblet]

Wait you didn’t have one yet?

[mighty storm]

I had one, but I must've transferred it up

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

There you go

[mighty storm]

ty ❤️

[pseudo goblet]

Dratini for a Caterpie 😂

[mighty storm]

if you have a kabuto would also be appreciated though I can probably just grind out my second playthrough to then

[pseudo goblet]

I only have Drowzee, I guess I can do with the Horsea, only Goldeen, no Kabuto

[mighty storm]

alright, and I have a drowzee Im training and almost evolved

[pseudo goblet]

Okay yeah checked, nope

[mighty storm]

ty so much

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pika-pokemon-happy-high-five-gif-20826794

What the hell all of these Caterpie have ‘good stats’ or above

[mighty storm]

No I never got the shiny, but would explain why when I returned I was in the middle of the forest with a lot of caterpie caught

wait, I think you forgot to trade me the electabuzz

nvm XD

[pseudo goblet]

Oh really, you didn’t mention I thought you got it

[mighty storm]

whats 127 in the dex

OH Pinsir

I missed pinsir

its an eevee exclusive so I can go get it

[pseudo goblet]

Damn, I don’t have it

[mighty storm]

just gotta get my butt out of mt moon

[pseudo goblet]

@mighty storm oh no, it’s this area

Did they remove the pokemon Stucks in wall

Ya know I probably should’ve do this in UltraSun, you, one of the two games I have where Cute Charm still works

[mighty storm]

yeah gonna do pinsir later, its a 1% encounter

oh yeah that area could be a problem

[pseudo goblet]

I- wha-

Not the type of lil brat I was looking for

Again, just how op is this single Shiny charm holy crap

I have non shiny power rn, and the outbreak boost weren’t even for her here

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus Prankster was the go-to ability for Sableye right, new girl here have Keen Eye

Also now I realized how badly I want HOME for PLZA, since we pretty much confirmed on getting Megas back

Got a fair amount of shinies that could go mega

[mighty storm]

She wants to mega evolve in PZA

clearly

https://tenor.com/view/sableye-mega-pokemon-gif-5110278

[pseudo goblet]

I did have the Shiny Buneary from my last SOS hunt

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm, non of my shinies in Arceus can go Mega

I honestly forgot I even had a Shiny Parasect

Magikarp from UltraSun works

[mighty storm]

good news bad news, good news found 2 pinsirs

bad news, they both fled after 2 balls

third one caught in 1 ball, yay

So that leaves: hypno, seaking, kabutops, and dragonite. So mostly level up evos

[fading stratus]

the go to ability for sableye is clearly stall

[pseudo goblet]

That a real ability?

[fading stratus]

it is

it is a real ability that sableye posseses too

i was just trolling by it being the most optimal tho

[pseudo goblet]

Read its effect, wtf it’s really not useful yeah

[pseudo goblet]

So this means you gonna shiny hunt in LetsGo?

[mighty storm]

gonna attempt to

https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/pokemon-lets-go-shiny-spearow.jpg

over world shiny sparkles, and that catch combo

[pseudo goblet]

Oh apparently Prankster is the HA

[fading stratus]

yes

you didn't know?

[pseudo goblet]

Ye lol

[fading stratus]

if it is a good ability there's a good chance its a HA

[pseudo goblet]

Scrolled to Medicham just now, so which of these is better, Pure Power or Telepathy(HA), let’s say in doubles

[fading stratus]

pure power

telepathy is funny tho just bad

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm

Well, first failed sandwich, I knew cherry tomatoes were evil

Finally, hard to keep all nine of them on the bread

Why do you think ppl demonize clefable?

[fading stratus]

because its the dead soul of gengar

[maiden flax]

The most powerful cleffa

[bleak pine]

[latent sleet]

if i remember correctly, human interaction not only influenced how pokemon evolve, but created entirely new species of pokemon

[vagrant steppe]

I mean pawmot is just pawmo standing up

[obsidian juniper]

right, thats a new species

[vagrant steppe]

Makes sense

[latent sleet]

apparently people didn’t know espeon and umbreon existed until the start of pokemon gold/silver

[sand forge]

Bramblin doesn't step, it gets blown around.

Rellor has to walk 1000 human steps consecutively, which is a lot for its little insect legs

Pawmo can fuck off

[vagrant steppe]

I was at a store that had plush pawmotts and they all had their hands stitched to their head

So that you couldn't get a two-for-one and also get plush pawmos

His hands are attached

I suppose, Ceruledge? Only because it has more details in comparison

Also like, easily my most use team member lately

Also everytime a shiny shows up it’s always on team or I rushed to grab it from box for False Swipe

[fading stratus]

toxtricity

[pseudo goblet]

I guess the one I have least thing to say for them would be Mewtwo

Goliosopod and Scizor really cool bugs

Lucario and Greninja, hmm, borderline cool I think

Toxitricity really cool

Garchomp and Umbreon also I like

[fading stratus]

mewtwo is okay

I kinda don't like Lucario and greninja that much

I don't like gren at all but I like other 2 kalos starters even less

[pseudo goblet]

[bleak pine]

None of them

See: Aggron

...Oh, I guess the post isn't like, pick one of these 9

Point still stands!

[fading stratus]

if we're choosing outside that I'd probs say Toxicroak or Bisharp

[long stone]

Mega Golisopod... would be sick

[bleak pine]

There's something I just love about Aggron being this super scary dinobeast

And yet it's possibly the mon that cares way more about the environment than most humans do

From Sapphire/Alpha Sapphire:

Aggron is protective of its environment. If its mountain is ravaged by a landslide or a fire, this Pokémon will haul topsoil to the area, plant trees, and beautifully restore its own territory.

[long stone]

I kinda wanna both Golisopod and Drapion to get a mega.. i just wanna see em mega fight.

[bleak pine]

So, claims entire mountains as territory, and just ends up doing whatever it can to restore its beauty if disaster strikes

[pseudo goblet]

Outside of the 9 above huh, crap I can’t think over 1000+ mon in such short time

[bleak pine]

Also, warlords historically used its head as a base for helms.

From Shield:

Long ago, there was a king who wore a helmet meant to resemble the head of an Aggron. He was trying to channel the Pokémon’s strength.

[pseudo goblet]

That’s cute

[bleak pine]

Seems so!

[fading stratus]

I wouldn't trust pokedex at all tbh
its the info 10 y/os collected

[mighty storm]

Not really a king but moreso a warlord, but close enough

[bleak pine]

Yeah!

[fading stratus]

Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole.

[mighty storm]

or in the case of sumo, Rotoms opinion

[bleak pine]

I think personally the 'dex has some truth to it, but it's mostly highly embellished

[pseudo goblet]

Would be the case irl survival

https://tenor.com/view/coelacanth-living-fossil-gif-26621112

[bleak pine]

Apparently fishermen found the colecanth by accident

And they only stopped trying to fish it up cause it was just revolting, considering how a lot of its body was just oil

[mighty storm]

Baby feesh

[pseudo goblet]

Probably the one piece of textbook lesson I remember fondly

From elementary

[mighty storm]

Conquest has some of the best designs

[fading stratus]

its not baby its grandpa fish

[pseudo goblet]

And literally the mascot of the term ‘living fossil’

[bleak pine]

Yeah!

[fading stratus]

the fish is older than ducky

[mighty storm]

an old baby but still a baby

[bleak pine]

Admittedly some of these would just never fly today in a game lol

[pseudo goblet]

[bleak pine]

But then again, Samurai Warriors/Nobunaga's Ambition is a drastically different game

Man, Koei Tecmo does great work on crossovers.

Minus Fire Emblem Warriors, but we don't talk about that one

[mighty storm]

Ooh fun game, for anyone who has not played conquest.

[pseudo goblet]

Idk, Kamen Ride Designs is very meh, lower even

[mighty storm]

guess their best partner off their design

[bleak pine]

It's neat how their usual outfit is how they are depicted in Samurai Warriors, and the other takes cues from a certain partner they have

Like, Hanzo having ||Gengar|| for example

[fading stratus]

I'm looking at conquest designs and the darumaka girl looks cool

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, got Umbreon build recommend I can try? These my pokemon

@fading stratus

[fading stratus]

for singles? probably wish pass

idk for doubles

have to see the moveset

[pseudo goblet]

Looking for bulky dark type, that isn’t Kingambit lol

[fading stratus]

ching lu

[pseudo goblet]

For the record, these are

Pokemon I used while playthrough
Specifically trained
Or Mon for and from hard raids

[pseudo goblet]

That the moose one right

[bleak pine]

Yep, the one who bears the Ruinous Vessel

[pseudo goblet]

Isn’t it Ting Lu

[bleak pine]

Click Fissure and watch the fireworks

Ting Lu, yep

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm, gotta force myself to REMEMBER get legends fr this weekend lol

I know myself, I won’t listen even a thing unless I was forced to lol

[bleak pine]

There's also Mandibuzz and Incineroar if you are looking for something different

[pseudo goblet]

Pass

[bleak pine]

Dark-types made for a lot of defending are a little few and far in between though

Most of em have striker stats, or are made for pestering

Oh, right, Scrafty is pretty jacked on defense too

Though with a base stat of 65 or so that's not gonna last

[fading stratus]

have you ever seen me say correct names of mons

[bleak pine]

Just, it's surprising how it's got 115 in both DEF and Sp. DEF

[fading stratus]

or even cards in gen

if its for doubles I recommend persian before umbreon

[pseudo goblet]

… fair actually

Stinkaton

[fading stratus]

mandibuzz is also fine

[bleak pine]

Cat with dumb poofy face

[fading stratus]

yep

[bleak pine]

I don't want it startin' a fight with lucy

[fading stratus]

oh oh oh grimmsnarl

[bleak pine]

Aku!

[fading stratus]

i forgot it was dark

play grimm

[pseudo goblet]

Maybe not Legendary, I tend to prefer keep them as is unless I need them, Ogrepon was an exception

[pseudo goblet]

I saw that

[fading stratus]

it was grimm/ or sth

my keyboard is small

so i click another key alongside enter

[pseudo goblet]

Ooooh Cutiefly outbreak, pink shinies really catches my eye huh lol

Last nights Nymble outbreak was in such a bad spot, I can’t

So many normal spawn mon despite the bug encounter power

Would’ve been fine with getting those mons shiny, but nope

Makuhita, Gogoat prevo, Nacli, I would like to get the Gogoat and Nacli

[pseudo goblet]

So the choice so far is

Umbreon
Ting Lu
Mandibuzz
Incineroar
Scrafty
A-Persian
And Grimmsnarl

[fading stratus]

oh you weren't already considering incin?

incin is the goat

you play incin over gambit

that should be your first choice not second choice

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/timid-eye-contact-shock-playing-innocent-monkey-side-eye-gif-17264925

[pseudo goblet]

It’s for general tho lol

[fading stratus]

Incin isn't great in singles I'll admit

but neither are most of the other mons

just play grimm

[pseudo goblet]

Also mixed feeling for it, recent Litten event in Pokémon GO and the only shiny I found was the first Litten when I log in

[fading stratus]

or ching lu

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm, fine I join the incineroar cult

[fading stratus]

this was what incin was used in doubles at its prime

you see why we consider incin a goat

and even rn its this

[pseudo goblet]

It’s only a new entry in my list tho

Really should go and catch the legends in my games asap

Mostly for dex

Actually @mighty storm do we receive anything for DLC dex completion???

[fading stratus]

mark charm

and a master ball

[mighty storm]

yeah mark charm and a master

ball

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah My Metagross is in the shiny box if y’all wondering lol

[pseudo goblet]

… crap I should’ve get that before the recent shinies I caught…

[fading stratus]

zane if you're playing doubles I'll tell you a funny bulky mon that you can use

||Eviolite wartotle||

[pseudo goblet]

The fuck

[fading stratus]

it learns life dew and yawn

and fake out

[pseudo goblet]

For Kitakami or Blueberry

[fading stratus]

blueberry

[mighty storm]

blueberry

[fading stratus]

you get glimmering charm or sth for kitakami

[pseudo goblet]

Glimmering???

🤨

[fading stratus]

its tera shard thingy

[mighty storm]

yeah glimmering charm, you get more tera shards

[pseudo goblet]

From what, item drop or raids

[fading stratus]

you basically get one extra item slot from tera raid rewards iirc

[mighty storm]

tera raids

Having one of these mysterious glimmering charms increases the number of Tera Shards you receive from Tera Raid Battles.

[pseudo goblet]

So not a multiplier

[mighty storm]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm, mark charm seems more useful but still gonna do Kitakami first, still collecting points for biome upgrade to get starters

[mighty storm]

also to unlock Perrin's side quest you need to beat her teal mask quest first

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah she’s been hanging around Savanna biome for me

Whats her deal there?

[mighty storm]

she sends you to go get paradox pokemon after your dex is fat enough

[pseudo goblet]

Wait that’s how you trigger beasts and justice paradoxes??? I thought it was to meet past Sada

[fading stratus]

meeting sada is main story not side quest

[pseudo goblet]

Sorry I worded that wrong, I thought the paradox quest was after meeting Sada

[fading stratus]

well you need to complete the main story first then only you'll find the legendary guy and paradox quests

[mighty storm]

Kitakami: 150 mons to go get Ursaluna
Blueberry: After 200 mons in blueberry dex

[fading stratus]

she also gives you a doggo if you beat the bloodmoon beast btw

[mighty storm]

yup and a choice scarf

[pseudo goblet]

Doggo? Oh H-Growlithe

[mighty storm]

in fact if you evolve the doggo before talking to her, she will just know and comment on it

[pseudo goblet]

Forgot she gave me that

[pseudo goblet]

Can I evolve any growlithe from Legends

[mighty storm]

No cuz the trigger is if its specifically the one she gave to you

[fading stratus]

oh yeah zane did you use Ogrepon for all Carmine and Kieran fights

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah but no during Fighting the Terapagos fight

Missed my chance I think, but I think I saw what it was in one of Mandjtv vid

[fading stratus]

Kieran becomes a bigger bitch if you use ogrepon against him

[pseudo goblet]

Almost use a no-no word only to making fun of him

[mighty storm]

fun fact, if you send zorua in with ogerpon in the back, it wont trigger the voice line. Meaning Kieran can see right through the zorua/zoruark disguise

[fading stratus]

oh i didnt know that

[pseudo goblet]

Reminder to self, no shiny hunting, no training, only do progress for my dex

[mighty storm]

probably just a quirk of coding rather then intentional, but it be more hilarious if he had an alt voiceline like "That's not really ogerpon!"

[pseudo goblet]

Even better, ‘hey that Ogrepon looking sus, BUZZ’

[fading stratus]

he'd have more like "you dare mock me with this imitation mortal"

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus this is gonna be me once I use Incineroar ain’t it https://vxtwitter.com/rindoriko/status/1770658833175871679?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

Posing dramatically with big cat

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Wait, what moveset should I consider then

Also I might have to consider for Decidueye and Primarina too, idk, by technicality my roots are Alola

If we go by games

[fading stratus]

parting shot/u-turn flare blitz knock off and fourth play something like will o wisp if you're playing singles or fake out if doubles

[pseudo goblet]

What parting shot does again?

[fading stratus]

it switches out and -1 atk -1spA for opponent

[pseudo goblet]

So, dark type U turn/Volt switch/Flip Turn?

[fading stratus]

basically but it doesn't do damage

[pseudo goblet]

How come I didn’t hear about this more- oh

[fading stratus]

instead it reduces their atk and spA by 1

[fading stratus]

its been around since I wanna say sun moon

might be XY

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

because I remember playing parting shot persian during sun moon era

[pseudo goblet]

I seriously thought it’s a gen 9 move

was it exclusive to one or two pokemon??

[random stream]

crazy amount of trap tiles

[fading stratus]

persian got it in gen 7 incin got it last gen and grimmsnarl

idk what other mons get it

[fading stratus]

ren beating everyone with the underrated mon rayquaza

[pseudo goblet]

Now I kinda want a Fire type switch out move call Smoke Flare, no damage but enemy becomes less accurate/burned

That last part was me playing too much Pyro flare sniping in tf2 lol

[fading stratus]

burn is broken

that's why will o wisp has 85(75 before) accuracy

courtesy of aaron zheng to get it changed to 85

[random stream]

[pseudo goblet]

we can still go with less accurate

or 20% burn chance

[kind vortex]

something about this disturbs me on a fundamental level

[pseudo goblet]

how so

[fading stratus]

sus

[swift jasper]

What, you don't think nidoqueen and hariyama can use fly?

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

and I just realize another reason why, okay it is sus now

[maiden flax]

I'm still not over the trainers evolving lol

Btw @random stream you interested in trying shiren?

[maiden flax]

Also
Nidorina does sound like a mon that cleffa would find scary and try to scare people with lmao

[maiden flax]

What of spike chunsoft and all the mystery dungeon crossovers?

[random stream]

oh the og mystery dungeon? Probably not

[maiden flax]

Aw

[maiden flax]

The 6th game came out recently and the developers were talking about how the only way a new pmd game could happen is if shiren earned enough for them to show the Pokemon company that people are interested in md

6th game is also contender for best in series

the ones to improve on are probably ||archaludon|| and ||axew||

Managed to get 19 on my phone

[maiden flax]

Yeah since one is a Pokemon anime mascot and the other is a competitive beast

[tacit sphinx]

Surprising reduction: ||Wobbuffet|| was better for top left

Ooo

This is the official minimum, with a score of 12

Allowing ||TTar Mega|| is bullshit imo

but whatever

[pseudo goblet]

Just one for now tho

I may have a small shiny collection, but I might as well start my own little living shiny dex

[fading stratus]

we call it the summer effect

Yes

Sure

Also like, I was so spread out thinking if I want to one day evolve the shiny sandshrew I caught or keep it green as baby

Blood red Sandslash was cool too

sandshrew looks so cool man but it sucks

I remember using a sandshrew in gen 3 and only moves it got before evolving were scratch and poison sting iirc

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, ig by rules I have to get the shinies by myself- but I just been counting the gift shinies included

Cause with that I have Shiny Grimmsnarl, Zeraora from HOME and Lucario,

[fading stratus]

we need a sandshrew evo called Sandshrewd

well sandslash evo ig

[pseudo goblet]

Otherwise known as Sandpan in Japanese lol

Sandshrew is just ‘Sand’

[fading stratus]

Sand
Sandpan
Sandkitchen

I see no flaw in this logic

[pseudo goblet]

Smh

[pseudo goblet]

Oooof I guess if shiny Scyther did show I should evolve it to Scizor anyway, for PZA

[fading stratus]

scyther line in general has abyssmal shinies

[pseudo goblet]

We already established that I take ugly shinies over shinies that had zero changes

[fading stratus]

scyther has like zero change

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty much

[fading stratus]

its like 255 green vs 250 green

[pseudo goblet]

And pink straws for limb

Okay just the leg and neck, apparently arm stay same color as it’s skin

I spoke too soon

[pseudo goblet]

I just realize I have to do this again… possibly twice if I can’t do flying type sandwich for Scyther…

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, they gave her Dynamax

[fading stratus]

oh masters has frontier brains too

[pseudo goblet]

The ones from the games start was, not good

They been trying to give them better mon each time

He’s a 4 star but JESUS this is beyond basic

current game its better to have support units to do the healing, this guy is striker lmao

Greninja Serena is easily my most favorite Tech unit

@fading stratus try read these and tell me this is beyond broken if goes in main game

In short, Technician Water Shuriken, and each hit debuff 1 stage for all stat at random

That’s 5 debuff each turn

With some kind extra water/dark type weakness debuff when using the quick attack

Oh and uh, forgot to include these when in dark Protean

[bleak pine]

Discombobulate is a funny word

Weedcat belly

[fading stratus]

I mean masters ex and main game is just not comparable tbh

masters has weird stuff and all

like if water shuriken had 26 base power instead of 15 it'd be kinda broken ig

didnt even read other stuff

like realistically if it isnt priority it wouldn't even be that broken if its gren exclusive

[sterile verge]

Generally, masters moves are beyond broken if translated to main series

Also, literally me

[bleak pine]

A lot of moves have some adjustments done in Masters

Like, Flamethrower and Bug Buzz in the games has roughly the same battle power

Here, Bug Buzz is incredibly powerful, but it requires more energy to use it compared to Flamethrower

[pseudo goblet]

We even have Hyper Beam became Rock type move too

Oh wait Bug too I think

[long stone]

what DS Mystery Dungeon game would you recommend and why ?

i never played those

well kinda

[void herald]

explorers of sky is my favorite game of all time

the story is really, really good

[long stone]

should i know anything before playing ?

[fading stratus]

you should probably start with a rescue team game tbh rather than explorers of the sky

if you are starting

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

milotic

[pseudo goblet]

Fuck it, Id say Roserade

Milotic too

[long stone]

lore wise or just for the sake of playing in order ?

[obsidian juniper]

True

Played ir recently again with a randomizer and that fucking 1 2 punch of "dont ever forget" and "memories returned" actually made me cry

[fading stratus]

eh I just feel like they are better introduction to the series as a whole

[tacit sphinx]

Who put Beautifly here

[obsidian juniper]

Well, if you ever do plan onnplaying them you should probably do that before sky, cause youre not gonna want to go back to em afterwards

[tacit sphinx]

DX is a fantastic game btw

[obsidian juniper]

So many qol features missing in those games its insane

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/ODQ767-hixA?si=Jq79PA2d8Lnz8d6w

@obsidian juniper this sky tower theme…

[obsidian juniper]

I should prolly finish my run of dx

Blue rescue team was the first video game i owned and i cannot bring myself to replay it

[bleak pine]

Ninetales.

Proof Positive that you don't need to be wreathed in fire to be a fire-type

[golden lance]

@fading stratus so anyway

Why is there no good elec terrain setter?

[bleak pine]

This is Pincurchin slander

[fading stratus]

terrain setters in general are limited

[bleak pine]

...But yeah, there's not a whole lot

[golden lance]

Bro indeedee and rilla are legal

Nothing else matters aside from the tapus

[bleak pine]

I guess, limited in the whole deal that you got only like 1 for each kind of terrain to work with

[fading stratus]

indeedee just doesn't do much except set terrain tbh

if you want trick room you play giraffe

[bleak pine]

Well, 2 in the case of grassy terrain

[golden lance]

Doesnt it have helping hand expand force?

[bleak pine]

Except Arboliva kinda has to get hit first, which is not a good game plan if you depend on opponent interaction to get it off

[fading stratus]

helping hand expanding force when incin and rilla are very common

[golden lance]

Does it get follow me?

[bleak pine]

Tag team bros

[golden lance]

Idr

[fading stratus]

it does

[golden lance]

Crazy

Btw bolt

Why does like

[bleak pine]

I can def see Incineroar having Rillaboom as a tag partner

[golden lance]

Half the good mons learn encore ?

[bleak pine]

Tag out and watch Incineroar jump off the top rope

[golden lance]

Why does pon valiant have it?

[fading stratus]

in doubles there's not really a good encore mon

[bleak pine]

Encore's more of a single battle move

[fading stratus]

whimsicott was good but like they gave torn bleakwind

[bleak pine]

Some moves are just better in certain modes

[fading stratus]

so there's no reason to play whim

[golden lance]

[bleak pine]

Like, Protect is still nice in single battles, but defense for the sake of defense usually isn't ideal unless you're trying to wait things out

[golden lance]

Btw

How is thundurus rn?

Did it fell off again?

[bleak pine]

Whereas a single use of protect in a double battle means your opponent's plans might get really foiled if they chose poorly

[fading stratus]

thundurus just doesn't have a niche nowadays

you'd rather tailwind than thunder wave

[golden lance]

Bro's just not like his former self

Gen 5/6 thund was HIM

[bleak pine]

You bring the thunder(us)!

[fading stratus]

best genie rn is probably lando I or torn I

[golden lance]

Lando I?

Over therian?

[bleak pine]

Yeah, the Incarnate forme is actually way more cracked than the Therian forme.

[fading stratus]

why play therian over incin

I has a really good niche rn

[golden lance]

You know what

Fair enough

[bleak pine]

Sheer Force stuff

[fading stratus]

earth power sludge bomb covers most of the format

[bleak pine]

Also pretty good at mixed attacking

It's Sp.ATK stat isn't so bad

[fading stratus]

no don't play sandshear storm

it sucks

[bleak pine]

So Sandsear Storm actually can hurt

[golden lance]

Is flutter mane still annoying?

[bleak pine]

Yep

[fading stratus]

its like around 55% teams rather than 75% teams

[bleak pine]

I wouldn't say "annoying" so much as "downright dangerous"

But yeah

[golden lance]

Idk how yall do it man

[bleak pine]

Me either

[golden lance]

Is she still doing the exact same thing?

Clicking stab?

[fading stratus]

flutter can be played very diveresly

but mostly you either play it as speed control (booster speed icy wind) or damage dealing (Specs )

[golden lance]

Ngl i forgot it also had icy wind

Lmao

[bleak pine]

Icy Wind is nice

I like those kinds of moves

[golden lance]

Btw how good is bundle?

[fading stratus]

sucks

[bleak pine]

Stuff like it, Mud-Slap, Mystical Fire, etc.

[golden lance]

Damn

I thought freeze dry.mon would be better

[fading stratus]

bundle's niche in doubles was always icy wind

[bleak pine]

Imagine terastalizing something into a water type, anticipating an ice-type attack.

And getting hit by Freeze-Dry

[fading stratus]

symph doubles has open team sheet format

so you can see their moves beforehand

[bleak pine]

Oooh

Oh.

[golden lance]

How is tatsudozo rn?
