Pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

I just realize I now ‘do’ have a new candidate for another Mega Shiny pokemon when PZA happens, Ducky

[bleak pine]

Oh hey, polls are available in Discord now

So for any challenge run people, they can do stuff like this:

[normal cave]

Mono Poison was one of my fave runs

If you do decide to do a monotype run at some point, highly recommend

[bleak pine]

Will consider it!

[kind vortex]

dont' abuse polls

stuff like the above is fine, but don't do them for stupid stuff

[bleak pine]

Righto

Yeah, I noticed stuff like this could be abused, so I imagine this ought to be like, infrequent

Unfortunately doesn't seem there's an option to limit polls or something

[sterile verge]

What's it say lol

I can't see polls

[bleak pine]

Might need to update, but it's a 3 way tie between Flying, Poison and Bug (sad fighting noise)

Not that it even matters since I'm just showing it off, but still

[mighty storm]

Idk how to enter the vote, but I vote in poison

[sterile verge]

I def need to update

However

UI

I'm still on the old one

[bleak pine]

Not actually doing a challenge run, tho

Also poll was closed, just had it open for an hour

[pseudo goblet]

Oooh, how do, bug btw

[bleak pine]

Ahhh, really not doing a challenge run, but thanks for the support

More just showing off that we got polls now in case anyone wants to have some user input for their decision of what challenge to try

[pseudo goblet]

No I mean how you do poll lmao

How to do it

[bleak pine]

Ah, you see where you can put in an image, file and whatnot?

You can do it from there with the latest update

Just uh, don't make a habit of doing a whole bunch of polls

[pseudo goblet]

Ah, thanks

[fading stratus]

why is the poll closed vro

i wanted to vote

[pseudo goblet]

RANDOM SHINY SAWSBUCK!

[mighty storm]

[pseudo goblet]

Gal

Okay it knows Double edge, No false swipe

[mighty storm]

Btw Zane you know how to change Deerling line's form in SV?

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda, you told me already, but I tested in Terarium, the feature I think works in Paldea

[mighty storm]

Oh did I tell you already

[pseudo goblet]

I realllllly wanna use safari ball, but I only have one lol

[mighty storm]

but yeah its location based where you save

[pseudo goblet]

Fuck it, Premier ball it is

Gonna spent 30 of those I assume, I could Yawn it with Clodsire, but I have Ceruledge out so no Recoil- wait then why I’m so anxious about recoil then, nvm

Sap sipper and Lonely

Yeah the shiny Deerling I got was baby boy, I have Bambi and Bambi’s mom lol

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm, Paldea this time doesn’t have many shiny I want, only Magnamite I really want

Might as well list them

Grumpig, Ursaring,arrowkuda, Gumshoos, Bombirdier, Rufflet is how you spell it??

Kitakami is Lotad, Geodude, oh right Petilil, getting that one, and Hoothoot

Blueberry got Tepig and Inkay, want those two also, Trapinch, Female Pyroar(no lol), and Elekid

https://tenor.com/view/center-city-flood-water-main-gif-25598282

[pseudo goblet]

Out of these, I want Magnamite, Lotad, Petilil, Tepig, Inkay, Trapinch

If I have time, Gumshoos and arrowkuda and Hoothoot
Petilil I’m not sure how I wanna deal with, cause part of me want to get Hisuian Lilligant FROM Hisui, just because I want StrangeBall version lol

No way I’m getting female Pyroar shiny when I already have 2 female Pyroar myself and a female litleo

[fading stratus]

ren's just happy he somehow beat a UU team with a OU team

also this game just shows flaw of trick room in singles

[random stream]

yeah tr will never be consistent

in singles

[fading stratus]

in doubles trick room is insane tho

not hard TR teams like the one you faced

but balance teams with a TR element

which is good for tailwind matchup

Trying out these recipes for today

[pseudo goblet]

Found shiny Trapinch, note worthy cause that means I don’t need to transfer one from GO to HOME

[pseudo goblet]

@mighty storm @bleak pine um, I found random shiny Venonat

Ooh male, my first male shiny after yesterday

I was getting ready to make sandwich for Magnamite in Paldea, back to Blueberry first cause I have a sandwich quest, only to saw this lil guy, with his blue shiny eyes walking funnily from afar

Apparently today is mostly me finding the living dex partner for my shiny Deerling and Venomoth

[pseudo goblet]

Found shiny cufant instead of target

Found another one not even 1 minute the last, wtf

[pseudo goblet]

And~ found Shiny Orthworm the moment I grabbed a Academy special, aaaaaaaaaaaaa

O- Okay, apparently Magnamites floats higher in the sky when raining, weirdos

[normal cave]

They eat electricity, and lightning tends to strike the highest things

So they're doing that for a free meal

[pseudo goblet]

Umm, water type regional Mimikyu???

Bruh I was just attempting Lotad Outbreak- taking breaks from Magnamite, I didn’t need nightmare fuel

[pseudo goblet]

Well, found a Shiny Meowth

Maybe, maybe...

Also got them both for $100 CAD

[bleak pine]

...Wait, that's CAD, not USD

...Oh man that's even cheaper than I thought it'd be, well done find!

Your friend's great~

[spice rivet]

Ya, he's a bro.

[sterile verge]

Woah

Also $100 CAD is basically saying 100 dollars canadian dollars

[spice rivet]

Ye

[sterile verge]

It would either be 100 CAD, $100 Canadian, or CA$100

[spice rivet]

Me not being good with money? Thats impossible...

[fading stratus]

100 cad is like 70 usd

Duowoodo the Zen Garden Fakemon. Unlike its pre evos it loves the company of humans. It’ll hang out in greenhouses and take care of the plants. Small Pokémon use its large canopy for shade. Despite its gentle disposition the two heads will often argue with each other. @Mat4265

Btw, I don’t remember todays outbreak got that many interesting to me, planning on getting Hydrapple and evolve every starters for dex

So Ludicolo went from- idk, Bard to Wizard

[mighty storm]

yup

[fading stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/ludicolo-gif-13599271

look at this monstrosity

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/psyduck-detective-pikachu-movie-gif-13931006

[fading stratus]

also ludicolo is just a kappa not a bard

[pseudo goblet]

Do Bards not dance in D&D??

[bleak pine]

I mean, they can

Mostly any sort of artform can be a bard's specialization.

So you can for example, have a bard that preforms either dance, acrobatics, or even a bard that's just a storyteller.

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/qiHXxrCB5yk?t=132

Just gonna quote Jocat here

[pseudo goblet]

The only times I’ve seen Bard in action was a mention in a MLP video and this lmfao https://youtube.com/shorts/1jqtJEhq3bY?si=2BvhhUAZWBJDRWvy

[fading stratus]

my impression of bard is they fuck dragons

bard's also my fav class because vicious mockery is such a funny cantrip

[mighty storm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztKhjwBUz28&ab_channel=XPtoLevel3

Killing someone with vicious mockery is always fun

[fading stratus]

a lv20 bard can kill npcs just by saying "your mamma fat" which is hilarious

[bleak pine]

I legit like the idea of playing a bard but I really promise myself I'd never make a bard that's just a musician, or just the stereotype

Also cause I'm someone who actually likes the idea of rolling for stats and never ever gets charisma

[fading stratus]

your bard could be a artist, a chef, a storyteller, a poet

[bleak pine]

You can also do it to a giant too.

Power Word Kill baybeee

[pseudo goblet]

Pokemon rip off on D&D when lol

[bleak pine]

Honestly, a fangame that's like, just the usual pocket monsters faire, but in a fantasy world would be so cool

[pseudo goblet]

Mainly saying cause the threat name

[bleak pine]

Like

Dragon Quest, meets Pokémon

[pseudo goblet]

Isn’t that what Mystery dungeon is?

[bleak pine]

Ehh, not really

Well, kinda?

[pseudo goblet]

Btw @fading stratus @mighty storm do I need crown and Boulder for mark charm

[bleak pine]

It's definitely a more fantastic sort of spin-off, but it's not like the usual JRPG setting that I typically think of

[mighty storm]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

Aight, guess 2nd file completion is in order

[bleak pine]

Just needs a 2/day ability to do like, Poison Powder or Sleep Powder and we golden

Also btw if any of you haven't experienced it yet, the original Dragon Quest trilogy is still on the Switch eShop for a low price, so it's pretty easy to get into

[fading stratus]

I'll cast summon lesser demon to summon my primeape

btw zane

when are you starting shiny starter hunt kidge

[pseudo goblet]

Rolled a 24, I’m running away

[pseudo goblet]

If im lucky on a starters outbreak

[fading stratus]

no do manual

[pseudo goblet]

After I get the Mark Charm

[fading stratus]

knowing you you'll take 2 and a half years to get the mark charm

then you'll say "i'll start after getting mark charm in pokemon oonga and pokemon boonga (gen 10)"

[pseudo goblet]

Or find a way to borrow Boulder and Crown just for the dex

I very much rather not do weird things to my switch with pkhex

[fading stratus]

nothing weird happens

or you can just random trade til you get those

idk

or ask summer

forgot if she got scarlet or violet

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty sure Scarlet

[pseudo goblet]

Don’t wanna touch website shinies if I can help it nowadays lmao

I was friend with a hacked shiny giveaway streamer

[fading stratus]

hacked shinies giveaway lol

that sounds so bad

[pseudo goblet]

The shinies I got from him was registered into HOME even tho I didn’t move them

HOME just scans everything I had in my UltraSun game

Luckily he named everything, so I know which ones is hacked lol

[fading stratus]

you don't know

as they say to fool your enemies you have to fool your friends

[pseudo goblet]

At least all of my shinies have my real name OT or the ZaneLee OT

Also I just realized I already finished the Gyarados line, thx to Levia, my Shiny Magikarp from Gen 7 and shiny Karp I got from SwSh event raid

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus how dead would I be if I fight against you in singles

[fading stratus]

probably dead tbh

even if I don't play singles I'm actually pretty decent at building teams

and not like teambuilding philosophy changes much between doubles and singles

[normal cave]

Experienced player vs novice moment

[fading stratus]

tho zane you should get into doubles instead

current format is one of the best formats of SV doubles

[tacit sphinx]

prove it, gsc ou, run hands

[fading stratus]

no

[normal cave]

5 hour game

[pseudo goblet]

When in private, sure, but against you? Feels like that’d be my only way to have a slight chance lmao

[fading stratus]

why do you even wanna fite against me in the first place

[pseudo goblet]

Cause afaik you arent as familiar in singles as those prefer it lol

[pseudo goblet]

Look up the first lyrics from Naruto Shippuden Op 2

That would be the answer if you ask me

Also you re the one who said ‘hmu about Doubles comp’ something like that

[tacit sphinx]

it’s like how goku annoys people to fight him

[pseudo goblet]

The action sure ig, but me whose was running from Pokémon comp compared to Goku??? Nah chief

[fading stratus]

oh its distance

dwai you're the same

oh boy its been years since I listened to this opening

like like 7-8 years

brings back memories

[pseudo goblet]

Silhouette was my favorite

Finally, Home, I legitimately felt being recharged the moment I step into my room, better check my outbreaks

Mankey maybe, the return of Magnet but now it’s a trio , oooooh right Egg Tatsugiri, maybe Wattrel if I have time

@mighty storm weird question, do you keep your shinies in your games or HOME??

As to why I ask- well

[mighty storm]

in game, but I think a few of my shinies are in home

[pseudo goblet]

I find it hard to release mons I don’t even need like early encounters

Or egg failures

[normal cave]

Wonder trade isn't a thing?

[pseudo goblet]

What are the chance someone will send over a Japanese shiny ditto with perfect ivs

[fading stratus]

high chance it'll have a website name too

[pseudo goblet]

Also I rather not receive website shinies when my game helps me track how many I have

[fading stratus]

you can breed it

[pseudo goblet]

Technically 51 I think, still have the hacked Ceruledge with me

[fading stratus]

oh wait you cant breed ditto

i forgor

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhh wait, I think I have 11 in home, 12 if I count the gift shiny Zeraora, and I think 9 from PLA

Around 70+ shinies- goddamn im not even 1/10

[pseudo goblet]

Oh btw, I do have Shiny Finizen in my top priority list for the moment

[pseudo goblet]

I want you to slap my cursed mouth

Fucking got this while I was looking for green monke

WHY I KEEPING JINXING THINGS, FFS LMAO

Also jokes on- whoever is to blame, I was thinking about having Shinies FOR the megas, when talking about Shiny Magikarps, which is probably what boosted the jinx 😅

[normal cave]

Reminds me of this game

[pseudo goblet]

OH FOR FUCKING SAKE!!! ANOTHER SHINY MAGIKARP!!!! GOD DAMN WHAT

What is this BS!?

[normal cave]

Le fishe

[pseudo goblet]

Gonna assume Mankey is Day spawn only, cause they stopped coming

you should hunt for a shiny level 100 magikarp

Ye they're model kit characters from what I know

they already did shf

it failed

they made uh...
mewtwo, ash, team rocket, pikachu, charizard, mega blaziken, lucario

then they stopped

[pseudo goblet]

… oh god I think I know which ones you re referring…

[daring pine]

the pikachu was oversized and redundant coz there's one with ash

[sterile verge]

They should make more trainer merch

Because there's been like
Very little for them in terms of figures and plushies and the like

[pseudo goblet]

HOLY!

[sterile verge]

Also because

[daring pine]

dont look up the figma prices

theyre also bad

[sterile verge]

Figma balls

[pseudo goblet]

How come the Lugia and Ho oh was the earliest possible set of this series, yet they came to me in good condition but not my Xerneas

I had to ship back the Xerneas I got and had the store trade a better one, because the former had a broken peg

[daring pine]

you say that, however ||this isnt a figma just ball guy||

[solemn rapids]

Holy shit

And the gloria and marnie tbh

[daring pine]

and i say, i dunno

well red makes sense

[pseudo goblet]

Nah, just Raihan

[daring pine]

raihain is just the most popular trainer of that gen apparently

in japan

[pseudo goblet]

Not Nessa???

[pseudo goblet]

Bea??

[sterile verge]

Japan are you high

[daring pine]

it's funny coz raihan has like...5 episodes?

[pseudo goblet]

HOP IN 3RD?!? WHILE NESSA ALMOST LAST?!

[daring pine]

im being honest

6th is just gloria

no one cares for victor

[pseudo goblet]

At least Rose isn’t even in here

[daring pine]

i had to look up victor's name coz no one cares for him

[sterile verge]

NESSA IN 14TH?????

[pseudo goblet]

Well he did haven’t receive a new outfit alt in Masters yet

[daring pine]

it's funny for 3 gens in a row they made it the wrong choice to be the male playable

[daring pine]

never forget ash's sceptile...caught up with speed type deoxys

and speed deoxys had a lead

point is...pokemon trainer figures are too expensive

[pseudo goblet]

Would you say more than ShF or less?

[daring pine]

both are expensive

[pseudo goblet]

Wow, so Same

[daring pine]

and some are a figure by figure basis coz figma can be cheaper but thats coz they made a more recent figure

dont bother looking up Kotobukiya figure prices

[solemn rapids]

I've always seen shf and figma as mostly the same thing but from different companies

I don't like either too much but I think shf generally looks better

[sterile verge]

God damn it I just want merch of my favourite character

[daring pine]

i wonder who that is /s

God, so many of Ash’s pokemon- as in the ones that isn’t with him anymore, would’ve fit right in with these scenes

Rowlet, Butterfree, Lapras, Goodra, All chilling in the Dracovish scene

Usually I would say Melmetal with Rowlet, but I imagined Melmetal catching hands- or paws/screws? With Lucario

That duct tape tho

A piece of duct tape manage to hold this much force without breaking

[fading stratus]

that's not force that's just weight

[pseudo goblet]

Why you think I don't like math

[fading stratus]

its physics not maths

okay fine, that lol

also are you even asian

disgrace to asians smh

[pseudo goblet]

What’s so graceful about being Asian in the first place

[fading stratus]

good question

[waxen moat]

OH IT'S ANIMATED

[pseudo goblet]

You thoughts its just a box pic?

I just found out about Boulder's head spin

@fading stratus jfc why is Boulder so fast

[fading stratus]

because its a rock

[waxen moat]

Yeah I thought it was just a cute pic

[fading stratus]

if you roll a rock from a hill it'll roll pfast

[pseudo goblet]

So was Terrakion

[waxen moat]

[fading stratus]

108 isnt even a bad speed

oh yeah wanna know a funny doubles strat zane

related to terrakion

[pseudo goblet]

the implication that fighting is the slow part

also 10 total base stat than Terrakion goddamn

[pseudo goblet]

Its not like Ill say no lol

[fading stratus]

ofc not :p

do you know what terrakion's ability is

[pseudo goblet]

Justified isnt it??

[fading stratus]

it is

do you know what justified does

[pseudo goblet]

dude dont like edgy bullies hitting them

or just hate dark room in general

[fading stratus]

yep basically the mon gets +1 when hit by dark type move

ever heard of a move called beat up

[pseudo goblet]

oh dear

[fading stratus]

now you're getting it

[pseudo goblet]

Ally Beat up on Terrakion right

and +6 or so atk

[fading stratus]

yep

well in vgc you can just take 4 mons out of 6

in a game

so it'll be +4

but yeah

[pseudo goblet]

oh right true

[fading stratus]

now with all these hints can you guess the best partner for terrakion

in doubles

[pseudo goblet]

do we have pin missile but dark type??

[fading stratus]

uhh beat up is that kinda

[pseudo goblet]

well yeah, but technician lol

[pseudo goblet]

Zoroark? i forgot who learns Beat Up

wait no thats NIght Shade i think, fck

[fading stratus]

i'll give you a hint
its a gen 5+ mon

and it learns tailwind

[pseudo goblet]

the cotton ball??

[fading stratus]

yep whimsicott

its evo

[pseudo goblet]

oh, wth why it knows that

[normal cave]

Whimsi gets beat up?

[outer eagle]

boltz relaying decades old meme strats

[fading stratus]

no terrakion whim made top 16 in one of the regs recently iirc

[fading stratus]

it got beat up in black and white

hasn't lost it since then

[normal cave]

I see

[pseudo goblet]

I guess, lil cotton’s teammate is very protective of it

Then again, tailwind

[normal cave]

Fits thematically with prankster ig, whimsi is mean

[fading stratus]

also ryu mausape was meta in reg c so beat up isnt even decade old strat

[outer eagle]

imagine GF introduces a mon that learns Beat Up but after the mon itself uses the move every other mon on the team just beats it up instead

[pseudo goblet]

Maushold and dead monkey?

[normal cave]

Yep

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm

[normal cave]

Rage fist go brrr

[pseudo goblet]

https://vxtwitter.com/legacy3211/status/1778815360566960177?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

Heh, accurate, Voltorb is Dex No.100 iirc

[maiden flax]

Doubles only strats are cool

[outer eagle]

reciting the pokedex is the new form of torture

[fading stratus]

my fav one was bramble torn

of sv

sadly it just got powercrept

[maiden flax]

Tailwind is such a doubles built move

[fading stratus]

yep

even trick room tbh

idk how good other speed control forms are in singles

like icy wind electroweb

[outer eagle]

singles rely more on scarf or prio

or really really fast mons like eleki

[fading stratus]

well doubles relies a lot on prio too

[maiden flax]

For the most part speed control isn't as good in singles as it is in doubles

[pseudo goblet]

So which side does poison stall shines more

[outer eagle]

kingamba in singles spamming sucker punch

[fading stratus]

singles

[maiden flax]

Trick room had a brief period in the spotlight with ursaluna

[fading stratus]

doubles is a lot fast paced format zane

singles sometimes has 90 turn games

[fading stratus]

in doubles gambit doesn't even play a non dark move

its black glasses cleave sucker swords dance protect

[maiden flax]

The world record for the longest Pokémon showdown singles game was 6491 turns

[outer eagle]

except gambit is like 50% in singles

so you know...unfortunate

[fading stratus]

nowadays games end on 1000 turns right?

[pseudo goblet]

And with just that, you fully convinced me to go Double, when fate comes

[maiden flax]

Gen 9 meta is faster paced

Gen 8 was a lot slower
Especially with the dlc

[outer eagle]

according to some graphs gen 9 has the lowest average turn count across all 9 gens in singles

[fading stratus]

singles will never be as fast as doubles no matter how fast paced the format becomes

[maiden flax]

True

[fading stratus]

also doubles has 4 mons instead of 6 so y'know that creates faster games

[maiden flax]

Also

[outer eagle]

4 v 6 with 2 on field at the same time instead of 1

[maiden flax]

Vgc has Mons at level 50 which means things are dealing slightly more damage too

[outer eagle]

tru

[maiden flax]

And only 4 Mons at any one point instead of 6 (battle spots singles in only 3)

Battle spot singles is a whole different meta game from ou

Oh right @fading stratus I remembered another reason why galar weezing is better than regular in singles
Access to defog

[normal cave]

Only major one I can think of is Sticky Web

[fading stratus]

ah

[maiden flax]

Yeah sticky webs is good in singles

[fading stratus]

I haven't seen a single sticky web being used in doubles

in 7 years of me playing/following doubles

i think

[outer eagle]

well web is better when you only have to sacrifice 1/6 mons to use

instead of 1/4

[fading stratus]

sometimes even in doubles you do sacrifice 1/4 mon for speed control

[maiden flax]

Not just that
Cause it's the case of 6v6 doubles too

[fading stratus]

mon in question being flutter man

[normal cave]

Come to think of it, weather is kind of speed control

[maiden flax]

It's the fact that switching is less common in doubles than in singles

[outer eagle]

that's not a sacrifice

that's like having the cherry on top

[fading stratus]

if you icy wind get killed its a sacrifice

[outer eagle]

surely

[fading stratus]

also like why is flutter insanely bulky at the top of it being insanely strong

[maiden flax]

It's also a big reason why hazards are also weaker
Not only things faster but switching happens less often in doubles

[normal cave]

Sticky web doesn't do anything until you swap

[fading stratus]

flutter can be EV'd to live a sword of ruin icicle crash from chien pao which is wild

[outer eagle]

i mean that kinda goes for a lot of mons tbh

spec into something hard enough and there are some interesting calcs you can see

[fading stratus]

still glimmora is like good in doubles

and not in just dondozo teams

tailwind glimmora was insane before we figured out balance was the best team of the format

[outer eagle]

glimm does set up hazard passively tbf

you don't really have to commit much for Glimm to set hazards

[fading stratus]

also ig doubles metagame was a lot more physical oriented until recently

[outer eagle]

isn't it still pretty physically oriented

between shifu and ogre

and boomer

[fading stratus]

well we have raging bolt and lando

so it has special mons too now

5/12 special mons is like okay

(Amoongus started using a offensive set with sludge bomb so its kinda a special mon too now)

[outer eagle]

when the top 3 mons are all physical

[fading stratus]

2/3

I am special

[outer eagle]

i am counting all ogre forms as just ogre btw

[fading stratus]

that still puts bolt ogre and incin

[outer eagle]

2 shifus as just 1

[fading stratus]

ig fair

[maiden flax]

Also cause mortal spin is a spread move for some reason

[fading stratus]

but both ogre formes play completely differently tbh

[fading stratus]

yep that's hilarious

[maiden flax]

Also just to note
Glimm's bulk is about the same bulk as the rotom forms

Exact same speed

130 spatk for some reason

[fading stratus]

glimmora can otk opposing glimmora

[maiden flax]

Earth power

[fading stratus]

no

meteor beam lol

[maiden flax]

Ah lol

Meteor beam is a draft sort of move

[fading stratus]

earth power is a optional move

you either play it or mortal spin

in doubles 100% of glimmora will carry meteor beam

[maiden flax]

glimmora is just a rotom form given mind steroids

[fading stratus]

lol

[outer eagle]

rotom needs a signature move

[fading stratus]

its called will o wisp

[outer eagle]

ah so the darkrai syndrome

[fading stratus]

rotom always reminds me of that one top 4 worlds game

[outer eagle]

speaking of rotom

what is wash's tier rn anyways

[fading stratus]

uu as expected

[maiden flax]

UU

[outer eagle]

it's always been an ou tank in past gens but not sure if i've seen it at all

[maiden flax]

Garg is funny

[fading stratus]

even in uu rotom isnt great

[outer eagle]

at least he joined scizor his other half of the voltturn core ig

[maiden flax]

New meta starts, drops to UU
UU quickly bans it
Meta goes on
"why aren't we using garg" - OU
Garg goes back to OU
Rinse and repeat for each OU meta as people realise that Garg is still good

[fading stratus]

garg won first ever SV regionals too

that was a wild format

people unironically thought tauros was better than arcanine

[outer eagle]

it is better...

if you're in gen 1...

[maiden flax]

Garg was given basically every tool to be an amazing tank except typing and it's typing isn't bad enough to be a detriment

[outer eagle]

imagine if it was rock ground instead of pure rock

[fading stratus]

rock ground would be so bad for a defensive mon

[maiden flax]

Tauros is super fun in draft cause urshifu is a big draft pick and the 2 Tauros have anger point

[outer eagle]

exactly

[fading stratus]

no way they let urshifu legal in draft

[maiden flax]

It is

Its a highpointer

[fading stratus]

I think OU and below draft would be super fun

[maiden flax]

Draft is a very interesting place

Like tera espathra is generally rated pretty okayish

Cause in draft it's very easy to prep for

[fading stratus]

how are tera handled in draft? surely low pointer tera captain or single tera captain right

and tera open

[maiden flax]

One of my fav draft picks is hisui zoro cause when you know what your opponent has and what they would be afraid of
You can abuse that to the absolute with illusion

[fading stratus]

I've played one draft in singles iirc and i got fifth in a 4 person cut
that was years ago

[outer eagle]

i almost expected to read that as fifth in a 4-person group ngl

[fading stratus]

it was a 16 man group i think

[maiden flax]

Different places handle it differently
The most common is points to tera something (normally 2 caps 25 points)

One of the places I'm in made the it so that they have a different point for tera

[fading stratus]

i think low tier tera with maybe max 2 captains would be fun

because that'd let low pointers shine

[maiden flax]

Some Pokémon are tera banned

[fading stratus]

ofc

can't have tera urshifu

or pon

[maiden flax]

Well urshifu rapid is fine
Single is banned from teraing
Fire Pon I think is still allowed? (all other pons are fine)

Palafin is tera banned

[fading stratus]

what would be your first draft pick if you got a choice

pult?

[maiden flax]

Nvm single is allowed to tera

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12lLfo_OynQcd6vaAnJidQJx34GcJHySNr93zLLpbRRY/edit?usp=drivesdk

Here is the draft board for the ongoing world cup for draft

[fading stratus]

no shot torn t is 19 pointer lol

[maiden flax]

Pult is banned

[maiden flax]

Torn T is considered a very versatile Mon due to regenerator

Ogerpon fire is tera banned

[outer eagle]

i remember the classic AV Torn-T in gen 7

used that a lot along with Tangrowth

[fading stratus]

is 2 tera captains compulsory

[maiden flax]

No

It's max

[fading stratus]

regardless 12-13 pointer captains are probably better than high pointers

this is my fav banner

[maiden flax]

Lol

[fading stratus]

I like how half the teams are just US

[maiden flax]

Yeah cause showdown is largely US based

Like Japan mainly does battle spots singles in terms of singles

[fading stratus]

this is a decent draft looks like

quack and tera helectrode go insane

tera hariyama probably woulda been good too but idk what moltres does in singles

[maiden flax]

H electrode is a great cheap fast mon

[fading stratus]

is darkrai even that good

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-arceus-voltorb-hisuian-electrode-gif-24090434

[fading stratus]

feels too underwhelming for a 18 pointer

[maiden flax]

It's like
Boring good
Hypnosis just makes it annoying to prep for cause your check might not even be a check if it gets slept

[fading stratus]

sleep is banned no? since it got banned in ou

also are tera not public? kinda wack

[maiden flax]

Actually I'm not sure
Since this is smogon official it might?
But it think its just sleep clause for draft

[maiden flax]

I'm not sure if they use tera preview for this one

[spice rivet]

Ill have to see, this will be my first Mystery Dungeon game. Though I hear Explorers of Sky is excellent

[maiden flax]

Ooo
So both your first pmd and mystery dungeon game?

[spice rivet]

Ye

Excited to try it for sure

Lmao I cant believe they restarted the whole stream round because you could see the Pokemons nicknames

[fading stratus]

oh it already started?

[spice rivet]

Ye

[fading stratus]

oh they started it a round early

stream used to start from r4

[spice rivet]

Ya, for some reason they started with round 3 this time

"Game 0" you could see the mons nicknames and I guess they didn't want to risk a lawsuit or something lmao. They're now in actual Game 1 and no one was penalized at least

[fading stratus]

what were the nicknames

[spice rivet]

Stephen had like: Crystal Skull - Glimmora, Farish - Dnite, Jabu Jabu - Dozo, Fish - Tatsugiri.

Rajan: Professor - Urshifu, Miss Bellum - Flutter

And thats all I remember off the top of my head

[fading stratus]

whats the lawsuit thingy

mons use nickname all the time

[long stone]

https://youtu.be/ZxyruOa2pYE?si=i8fZSHh1Tw4l0BA8

[spice rivet]

Miss Bellum is a character from Powerpuff Girls 🤣

[fading stratus]

oh oh

[spice rivet]

Its a deep cut, but ya lmao

I think Gen 6 onwards nicknames wouldnt show in game during competition

[fading stratus]

that was such a misplay

helping hand was gamewinning

didnt matter anyway

no shot this is a real team

[outer eagle]

oh amogus passes boomer

we truly live in a society

[fading stratus]

its same percentage

[outer eagle]

hey we don't see the other decimals

[fading stratus]

doesn't matter

the difference between one more spot varies by like 2%

[outer eagle]

it's 820 players

[fading stratus]

no its day 2

around 36-40ish players make day 2

[outer eagle]

oh didn't see that

[fading stratus]

[outer eagle]

so 13 rounds swiss

[fading stratus]

should be 14

[outer eagle]

x-2 need to win out this round to make it so should be 13 no?

[fading stratus]

no

we've had 14 rounds in 400 men regs

[fading stratus]

anyway checked EUIC which was the largest tour and it had 87 people in day 2

[swift jasper]

take that back

[fading stratus]

aight

gastro sucks when grass is one of the more popular types in the format

i took it back

[swift jasper]

i'm timing you out

[fading stratus]

[outer eagle]

trick room vs balance huh

[fading stratus]

balance beats trick room most of the times

but balance doesn't have rilla so matchup becomes a lot wors

[outer eagle]

well that was one sided

[fading stratus]

yeah lol

that's why you play rilla

[outer eagle]

felt like it was more a matter of not knowing what to do

not that i'd know ofc

[fading stratus]

i mean this kinda team isnt really popular at all

tho luca is one of the best NA players

12/1 means top

unless there are a lot of X-2

pokemon resistance rule sucks because it only checks day 2 wins

[outer eagle]

Damn that was an amazing grand final

Even with the worst Amogus luck (Minimum sleep turns, No Sludge Bomb Poison even after 3 attacks, Zero Crits) he still won

[spice rivet]

Jesus I just watched that

God, I was tensing up during that

Its crazy how in control ||Wolfe was in G2 and G3||

Even with that awful luck, it just goes to show how skill and knowledge can make it a non issue

[bleak pine]

Luck favors the prepared

And even if it doesn't, good planning can overcome some near-impossible odds

[fading stratus]

I will now watch the finals

watching the top 4 first
ma boy neil made top 4 woo

they put accomplishments
didn't put worlds top 32

that's why you play rilla in balance instead of amogus

[fading stratus]

watched wolfe's top 4 game too

and its so funny that amoongus surviving in 1 hp wasn't even a low roll

because last game amoongus took like 113-115ish damage and it had 124hp

so it was likely surviving

commentators don't know

about ivy cudgel being 100% crit after focus energy

game 3 was such a close game

welp wolfe won props to him for winning second regs of the format actually not even season

neil also did good
its funny that wolfe outed him like 2 times this season once in t8 another in finals

top 8 teams ig

yo whezing actually top 16'd

[bleak pine]

Oooh

[kind vortex]

every team in top 8 had urshifu

just kung fu panda things

[bleak pine]

Skadoosh

[fading stratus]

oh yeah I never realised it but its 2 different shifus

[kind vortex]

also are people using lando-i in vgc now or did they just not use the therian sprite?

[fading stratus]

lando I is good rn

because incin and raging bolt

and sludge bomb hits the grass types and flutter

[kind vortex]

people finally realized lando-i is based

brings a tear to my eye

[fading stratus]

its more like format alligned to make lando I playable

[kind vortex]

(i know)

[fading stratus]

smh

we also had australian regs yesterday which had more wild teams

[kind vortex]

regidrago spotted

actually no

even wilder than that

gallade

[fading stratus]

regidrago is really decent mon in hyperoffense teams

(especially tailwind)

dragon fang dragon maw dragon energy hits like a cargo truck

I think gallade was a trick room setter which has wide guard and decently fast

sharpness boosted move do insane damage

[mighty storm]

Corocoro

[bleak pine]

Ayyyy CoroCoro

Been awhile since they reported in on stuff

[spice rivet]

High key, Gallade can put the hurt on. Sharpness is a great ability along side Psycho Cut in terrrain for pure damage once a team has speed control. Plus Wide Gaurd and TR support ofc

[fading stratus]

gallade's biggest problem is its frail as fuck

but you can't play sash

because you need to play clear amulet for intimidate cycle

[bleak pine]

Sharpness is nice

So glad there's more abilities that work off how you smack things

Now if only we can get some for kicking things, or something

[kind vortex]

gallade getting sharpness was much appreciated, yes

now give mega gallade sharpness when it comes back in remakes

[fading stratus]

nah let's give it inner focus

[pseudo goblet]

Basically stays the same

[fading stratus]

(that's the joke)

[pseudo goblet]

(Same)

[tacit sphinx]

Urshifu is a fuckin dumb Pokemon hey

[tacit sphinx]

🦀

[fading stratus]

randomiser?

or is crab available early on

i forgor

its so sad that kingler sucks tho

its frailer than a piece of paper

and slow af

maybe they'll give it a evolution called Spiler

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-kingler-crab-hammer-cloyster-gif-5634736

I know a ytb who would eat these two, raw lol

[pseudo goblet]

Just make it Water Steel

Also reminder we have GMax Kingler

[fading stratus]

looking at water steel

its not a bad type ig

one of the best defensive double typing probs

[outer eagle]

Ideally best prolly is Fairy Steel but Water Steel is def up there

[pseudo goblet]

Without knowing the lore, we could’ve get more of Pokémon with this typing with Dhelmise, but nah, iirc Empoleon is still the only Water steel mon

… now I kinda want a fish pokemon shaped like an anchor, basically regional form for Dhelmise, somehow

[young river]

Sigh

[tacit sphinx]

Did
Did you forget the entire run I was doing

[tacit sphinx]

Technically speaking Kingler is at least okay physically

55 HP sucks but 115 Def at least helps physically

[tacit sphinx]

also 75 isn’t slow af tbf

It’s slow but not like

giga slow

[pseudo goblet]

For once, these two words wasn’t referring to a Titan/golem pokemon

[outer eagle]

you know what they say
better to have high HP than high DEF or Sp.DEF

[tacit sphinx]

FSG: The Blissey Theorem

[outer eagle]

funny thing with Bliss is it has high HP AND Sp.DEF for some reason

[pseudo goblet]

Was it really necessary to give Shedinja def and sp def anymore than 1 stat point each??

[outer eagle]

it wasn't

but they didn't want to make it the weakest mon ever

[pseudo goblet]

Right, but ig it would’ve been broken if Shedinja’s defensive stats all went into Atk

[outer eagle]

speed is the more important one tbh

[pseudo goblet]

That would’ve be even more overkill yeah

[normal cave]

Shedinja my beloved

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/shedinja-pokémon-shedinja-solar-beam-pokémon-solar-beam-shedinja-uses-solar-beam-gif-26749861

I was sad that SV don’t have Nincada

2 shinies for the price of one lol

Btw, apparently HOME need me to manually change Deerling and Sawsbuck forms in order to register those forms shinies as well

[tacit sphinx]

They literally couldn’t because of Tera

[pseudo goblet]

What’s wrong with giving dead bug a rainbow hat

[fading stratus]

75 is slow af

75 is raging bolt speed tier

[swift jasper]

Did you just call yourself slow?

[fading stratus]

I'm slow

[swift jasper]

[fading stratus]

like realistically speaking I barely see raging bolt outspeed anything

[outer eagle]

man wolfey's team having lando-i torn-i shifu incin really does scream dudes turbo

[fading stratus]

wolfe likes dudes

[pseudo goblet]

Moment of truth, are you slower than Slowpoke tho 👀

[fading stratus]

slow family have speed tier of 30 and 15

[pseudo goblet]

Me imagining Raging Bolt charging fast like a bull or something

Outside of game ofc

[pseudo goblet]

And a shiny Venonat…

Cmon man I tried for Rowlet and Torchic, but I get repeats??? lol

[pseudo goblet]

HA! Shiny Jumpluff! I’ll take that!

Would’ve prefer Slither Wing or Great Tusk but sure

They don’t even run away, omg so cute

[bleak pine]

Jumpluff~

[normal cave]

Pink shinies

[mighty storm]

Pink poof master

[ashen barn]

Gotta love it
2% encounter, I use false swipe...and forget that my false swiper has rough skin. The encounter kills itself doing 2 damage on a crit.

[fading stratus]

oh new summer pfp

[mighty storm]

Yep

D&D has been on break for a while and profile pic was just making me miss the sessions while DM is on a break.

[fading stratus]

ah

makes sense

[tacit sphinx]

I cured Moomoo of her sickness

I never need to visit a Pokemon Centre to heal again

[sterile verge]

Got her!

[pseudo goblet]

NICE!

[pseudo goblet]

You have Gloria?

What you use for Steel offense?
