[pseudo goblet]

Use soak and make they Water

[fading stratus]

zane believe me or not soak was actually a legit strat

https://pokepast.es/355fd7aa7f6a862c

[pseudo goblet]

For the sleep powder case just now???

Holy shit

[fading stratus]

I forgot the actual use in that specific team but spore also doesnt work against grass type

I played scarf fini with spore because soak + wood hammer was broken

[pseudo goblet]

I wanna say my big mouth got things right unintentionally AGAIN

But nah seeing the quiz is just ‘how to put sleep onto Grass easy’ and that’s maybe 10 person would get that

In a large room

Also Anime Diantha using Trick or Treat against Lance lives free in my mind for some reason

https://tenor.com/view/gourgeist-pokemon-trick-or-treat-gourgeist-uses-trick-or-treat-gif-6206730786748665488

[fading stratus]

also btw @spice rivet have you seen this funny bo1 team yet

this is vroken in ladder

because noone expects any of the techs

[spice rivet]

Lmao, thats nasty

[fading stratus]

like the most standard mon here is flutter

everything else is super non standard

[kind vortex]

not knowing what the evs are, most of those look relatively standard to me

the standouts are ice spinner urshifu and banded stomping tantrum lando

also not sure how much play icy wind regularly gets on flutter

[bleak pine]

Oh, hi Teostra

[mighty storm]

embed doesnt show the female one

[bleak pine]

How's it going? Still spreading blast powder everywhere?

[sterile verge]

https://fxtwitter.com/OnduRegion/status/1774148779563721170

There

[mighty storm]

ty

I like the female one more of the dual design

[bleak pine]

Jokey jokes aside, these are cool!

[mighty storm]

fire/dark for the female, and fire/flying for the male

with the atk/special attack being 149 or 58 (higher special for female, higher physical for male) respectively

[spice rivet]

I feel like Icy Wind has been on the uptick for Flutter, but that could just be my own anecdotal experience

[fading stratus]

icy wind is one of the 3 common flutter builds

so I'd say decently common ig

[fading stratus]

not really
Scary face torn isnt standard at all and sturdy power herb arch is just non existent
ice spinner drain punch urshifu also outlier but the AV tera grass is the weird thing
and well banded lando with eq

lando in general is a non existent mon now but last format lando was exclusively scarf/clear amulet

[spice rivet]

Anime spoiler ||Shiny Zygarde 10%, def feels like since this iteration of the anime will continue through the release of Legends ZA, some stuff from it may be adapted.

Also imagine if you can catch a shiny Zygarde in Legends wily nily after how hard it was to get in Dynamax Adventures lmaooooo||

[fading stratus]

well the anime doesn't look like its gunna end soon atleast

[mighty storm]

||I think its possibly gonna be an event in 🍕 , specifically the 10 percent form.||

[sterile verge]

Nope

I think it'll be an event in SV

[spice rivet]

Imagine if the pulled a Gen 4 to Gen 5 and had a cross gen event

Ogermin/Shaypon

[pseudo goblet]

Really love that majority of legendary mythical grass types are cute

I almost said all of them, but double check the list and saw Zarude and Wo Chien, who I’d say looks intimidating lmao

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus Well, that’s a surprise, Roy Fuecoco learned Flame Charge

PLEASE tell me they finally removed his Ember

[fading stratus]

fuecoco doesnt even learn flame charge by lv up

they should give it hyper voice or sth

[pseudo goblet]

Gator has gotten so many moves even still baby

Also wow Ep im watching still has 7 mins left, they really need those transition time for next arc

[fading stratus]

ash woulda gotten 4 badges by 45 episodes

[pseudo goblet]

Eh, fairly same progress pace, if we see the 6 hero pokemon as badges

gotta be weird for G-Moltres

[fading stratus]

who has arboliva's ball

[pseudo goblet]

Liko is the one holding them, Arboliva, G-Moltres and badass Lapras

Rayquaza is one of them but Roy is holding the ball once kept it

[fading stratus]

i like how they casually own world destroying level pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

The fuck is ||Rakurium||

Context ||one of the goals of the anime is going to this paradise call Rakua, once the goal of the adventurer Lucius, and now Rising Voltacklers and the villains goal- oh maybe Rakurium is the name for the Area Zero crystals||

[fading stratus]

don't ever search rakurim pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

too bad googling*

[fading stratus]

oh its rium

its my own typo mistake

[pseudo goblet]

Its not that bad

[fading stratus]

its bad

[outer eagle]

[pseudo goblet]

||oh yeah im just gonna lightly mention some things

Lets go Liko's Floragato

Talking about Terastalize

[fading stratus]

wtf

[spice rivet]

One more down, just need to do Manalhy and a JP Emerald Mew

[fading stratus]

now do it glitchless

[spice rivet]

If I had the time to, apparantly there are bots that can soft reset until you get one.

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

starting with the best one
doesn't start with turtwig

[fading stratus]

I didnt expect 6 minutes of straight babboon butts when i saw the vid

[mighty storm]

@pseudo goblet I found a dome fossil

[pseudo goblet]

What game

Oh, Let’s go

[mighty storm]

lge

[pseudo goblet]

Dex finally done then

[mighty storm]

nearly

still need to train the dratini all the way, evolve my new kabuto, and evolve a goldeen

[mighty storm]

at 2 left, goldeen and dragonite

[pseudo goblet]

Seaking least memorable Gen 1 pokemon

[tacit sphinx]

Nah

[fading stratus]

least memorable gen 1 mon is probably gloom or sth

[tacit sphinx]

Hear me out on this one

I think it’s Golduck

Psyduck

Beloved

Golduck

Who cares

[pseudo goblet]

I mean, I have Shiny Golduck so I kinda do lmao

Before I even get the shiny, Golduck was more memorable to me than Seaking, somehow

[fading stratus]

golduck is vroken in radical red

against misty

people know the strat

not against misty

forgot against who

[pseudo goblet]

Eh, Gloom is fine too

[pseudo goblet]

Blaine or Giovanni?

[fading stratus]

its actually against misty

they changed its evo from 33 to 27

cloud nine is a busted ability

[tacit sphinx]

So what do y’all think the least memorable mon is

Not just gen 1

I’m kinda thinking

Finneon?

[fading stratus]

chingling

[tacit sphinx]

lmao bulbapedia made itself black and white today

[fading stratus]

lol

[pseudo goblet]

Legends Arceus kept showing them to me so meh

[pseudo goblet]

Wait what lol

[tacit sphinx]

It has to be something hard to obtain and also useless

for it to be unmemorable ig

[pseudo goblet]

Unless Phione, that one too much of a meme to forget

[tacit sphinx]

Maybe Ducklett?

[pseudo goblet]

Personally I wanna say Pancham

XY era, sure, but, ig the last game that has then was SwSh? I just never really thought about them

[bleak pine]

One lore bit is that evidently, people in-universe think it's like, the equivelent of a Kappa

Which does make sense, it being a duck-like water monster

About the extent of whatever fame it has though; Psyduck is still more beloved

Though, Golduck is an absolute chad in battle formats where legendaries are allowed

Case in point; Cloud Nine is one ability Golduck has

It nullifies weather effects.

Any weather effects.

Including Delta Stream

Ironic how what can do in Mega Rayquaza, is an ability that's just Rayquaza's original ability in Air Lock

[fading stratus]

[mighty storm]

I remember when scarlet/violet files were dumped online early and one of the people in the secret playing S/V early discord found a shiny psyduck

and we used that psyduck to test if saving and soft resetting deleted shinies

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-psyduck-psyduck-pokemon-pokemon-pikachu-pokemon-shiny-hunter-gif-10261723258216657470

Still want one

Not as much as how much I want Shiny Nacli and Golett tho

[mighty storm]

shiny hunt klawf

you'll find your shiny salt

[pseudo goblet]

Okay Golett is top priority and salt is second lol

[bleak pine]

https://tenor.com/view/ondine-pokemon-gif-23662154

[pseudo goblet]

If the next few days till Sunday my game still doesn’t give me a Golett Outbreak, I’ll just do it without outbreak AND SOS it if I must

Or just be smart about this and reset outbreaks till I get a Golett

Luckily I wouldn’t mind if a shiny Krokorok shows up instead of my target

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

april fools joke

so they even said meganium

[pseudo goblet]

Oh shit

Glad I haven’t change the Mew for the Mewtwo raid

[mighty storm]

Bug tera mew coming back to munch on a flower dino

https://www.serebii.net/newpokemonsnap/meganium.jpg

[latent sleet]

i hope they buff meganium one day

make it a dual type or somethin

[fading stratus]

they need to make it grass fairy and give it a good ability like thick fat or sth

radical red gave it fairy typing and triage so its one of the best staters in the game

second best after meowscarada probs

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus Every time I see a physical Mew, I think of this lmao

https://youtube.com/shorts/b3IMX_nkY1g?si=Sl6WRFfa15LMhAxV

Rough translation:
Protag: I got the Mew from Mystery Gift
Protag: Mew can learn all kinds of move so I taught it a lot
Koraidon: Oooooh I wanna see
Mew: Alright here I go
Mew: MACH PUNCH! LOW SWEEP! BRICK BREAK! CLOSE COMBAT!
Koraidon: THIS MEW IS WAY TOO MUSCLE-BRAINED!!!

[bleak pine]

Mew got hands

[fading stratus]

in practice mew sucks even if you can use either physical or special sets and it can learn a lot of moves

I wonder if physical mew is better or special

surely physical right because you get d dance knock off leech life and stuff

[bleak pine]

It's the whole deal with moveset choice paralysis

All the moves, but that's the issue

All the moves

[fading stratus]

that's not the issue in the slightest

the issue is 100/100/100 stats suck

[bleak pine]

Very much

Like yeah it's confusing but it's just "alright" at everything. Which is better than 'poor' at the very least.

[fading stratus]

the stats would be good in like idk 2008

it dropped to UU in black and white it seems so it was good before that

(posted at 11 pm gmt so i'm assuming it's not an april fools joke)

[bleak pine]

We got our Sleep Championship, I think we're in the clear... so far.

[random stream]

The climb was painful but here we are @pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

Master Rank

[young river]

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page

Bulbapedia got a new Editor in Chief

[latent sleet]

april fools

a little tomfoolery

[sterile verge]

Scizor????

[random stream]

Yeah

[latent sleet]

got to master 1400 recently

finally got to witness draft

truly a miracle

[random stream]

oo nice. I could never make it to high master tbh I always just reach 1200 then stop haha

so draft is only for 1400+?

[sterile verge]

Also that is a cool fucking costume

[latent sleet]

draft is available when all players on the match are 1400+

[fading stratus]

I KNEW IT

SINGLE RESTRICTED

this should be the format for worlds now

[latent sleet]

and since the game decides to match with veteran players its rare

[fading stratus]

early meta is gunna be tornogre

there's no doubt

[latent sleet]

chi yu reaction

[fading stratus]

there's also chance of chi yu and shadow rider yeah

[latent sleet]

or maybe we can finally see our goat wo chien

[fading stratus]

doubt

when uturn is all over the place

and fire is the best offensive type in the format rn

[latent sleet]

sadge

[fading stratus]

look at the top 8 from last regs
there's a fire type in every team

some even have 2

[latent sleet]

my man whimsicott there

[fading stratus]

that's a super off meta team

[random stream]

How come they didn't just have it for all master? Also it's weird that climbing to master won't have draft and the banned EXes. I guess it would make matches longer when ppl just want to play?

[fading stratus]

but michael zhang the goat

[latent sleet]

i have absolutly no idea, most unite players were also very confused when they said that

maybe they want people to play miraidon

[mighty storm]

why is it monochrome?

[pseudo goblet]

Check the calendar

[mighty storm]

started early yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Halfway through for me lmao

[pseudo goblet]

It’s also the Pokémon Anime 27th birthday today

Or about 3 hours for you

[pseudo goblet]

Great team

[spice rivet]

I finished my shiny Celebi glitching, so I figured I may aswell play through this Crystal version playthrough to completion

Decided to just give myself a good, mostly traded team because the exp curve. Typhlosion and Quag are the only 2 that are my PT on the team.

I would've done Chikorita, Cyndiquil, Totodile but I thought id shake things up with Bulnasaur from the VC Red I have

Also bruh, why can neither Gator and Quag not learn Waterfall ☠️

[mighty storm]

I dread April First, the holiday just makes everyone untrustworthy for a day.

And anything cool that is real, is presumed to be a prank.

[sterile verge]

Fuck it I ranked every pokemon character based purely on fashion

we'll see tomorrow

general response from the sub is mostly "thank god" tho so maybe it'll stay

[vocal torrent]

Look at him so chill

[sterile verge]

I've seen this one its so cool!

[mighty storm]

I know the date

[vagrant steppe]

Lame April fools bit

Moving the date up is... Not that fun as a joke

[maiden flax]

It's not even the official Pokemon twitter

[vagrant steppe]

I know

I'm just assuming summer posted it to this chat for the sake of "haha funny April fools"

But it's like... Such a bad bit

[short heath]

Could you explain what makes it bad

I think it pokes good fun at Pokemons egregious release dates

[vagrant steppe]

It's not really an exciting joke

Like you just see it and go "oh huh, release date change" and nothing more

[bleak pine]

It’s like those Nintendo Direct announcements

[sterile verge]

Yeaaaa

[bleak pine]

Not exactly a funny sorta joke, just somewhat mean-spirited

Absurdity tends to make more memorable jokes!

[vagrant steppe]

Or at least "revealing" something crazy

Just going "here's the logo" is kinda lame

[bleak pine]

The Sleep Championships is a good example

[crimson moat]

That’s not even the noteworthy date to troll lol

That would be the worlds 2024 date which still hasn’t been announced and they are stupidly building hype for it at EUIC

But yeah, people do be sick of April Fools video game release bits at this point

[short heath]

I think specifically for pokemon it fits

[vagrant steppe]

Nah, I think it's lame

[crimson moat]

It’s always been lame

[vagrant steppe]

"Oh the release date changed" is really weak

No one is gonna go "oh wow you got me, that's funny"

[crimson moat]

It’s not even something obviously wrong but still silly

Like Regitube

Pokémon sleep world championship was funny

[short heath]

Because I think specifically for pokemon they really are notorious for rushed release timings

[bleak pine]

Gotta have it be off the wall!

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah then make the joke something about how it's gotta come out now to meet deadlines and joke about the quality or whatever

[crimson moat]

Bulbapedia made a joke about overworked Larry admining their site

[sterile verge]

That one is funny

Because they actually changed the site

[crimson moat]

I think they should leave it that way and rename to Larrypedia

Slowpedia with slower loading times was also funny

[crimson moat]

Wait right no this is Paldea we are talking about

It would be called Geetapedia but Larry would still be the one doing the work

Guess what chat

It’s time

It has been a long time coming

But the challenge run of the century is here

WALKLOCKE

Every route, cave, or area I can catch Pokemon: +1 Encounter point
Once per walk: I can spend 1 Encounter point to attempt a Pokemon catch
I must catch the first Pokemon encountered on the attempt
Species clause in effect

[bleak pine]

Yeaaaa

Good find!

[fading stratus]

I just realised showdown changed the sprites of all the mons for april fools

[mighty storm]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Raz gonna be a jock after this

[maiden flax]

Or just a drummer cause the pokewalker is sound activated (rather than movement activated like most pedometers)

[tacit sphinx]

I misunderstood how the Pokewalker worked, so minor update to the rules

I can catch up to 3 Pokemon on a stroll, but I can never exceed the amount of routes I’ve visited

With that said, our starting team is:
Nidoran♀️
Pidgey
Doduo

[tacit sphinx]

Falkner done

Rage OP

[tacit sphinx]

Okay, so I’ve added to the team using banked encounters

And it’s uh

weird

NidoranF
Pidgey
Doduo
Venonat
Oddish
Wobbuffet

Anyone wanna suggest a naming scheme btw

[fading stratus]

thing a 7 y/o can carry

[tacit sphinx]

what

[fading stratus]

or you can name them as american presidents that you can beat in a fight

[tacit sphinx]

Everyone is female so far

[fading stratus]

or you can nickname them as dark souls bosses that were really hard to beat

[tacit sphinx]

Never played Dark Souls

[fading stratus]

just name them as countries you've never been to

[tacit sphinx]

Hm

Let’s go with

DBD names
