[pseudo goblet]

Still no luck with Crustle, Now Im in Ultra Forest for Kartana

[mighty storm]

XD

[hasty anchor]

Garchomp is really bad at doing the two-step to boost stats

What a loser

[spice rivet]

Finally

I had to go through atleast 10 Shiny A Raichu but only 2 of them had marks, and they were the wrong marks lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhhh the name makes this hunt make sense now

Also congrats man

27 shiny A-Raichu jesus

[pseudo goblet]

Did you ever find a Raichu with Rare mark? lol

[spice rivet]

Nah, the only other interesting mark I got was the Charizzmatic marked Shiny, then a few with the time of day marks

[pseudo goblet]

Apparently Unova hates me recently, finding Shiny Crustle, no luck, finding Shiny Tepig, no luck

Finally, got to ping @fading stratus for my starters check in

Shiny Tepig

Really should start hunting water starters, grass and fire keeps growing while water I only got Popplio lol

[fading stratus]

get all megas first

[pseudo goblet]

But like, Mudkip is in a tunnel system, most of them are in the water, ew, best one I can think of was Froakie on land

The otter and penguin are hard to notice

[pseudo goblet]

That would imply Rayquaza and the jet dragon siblings lol

Kinda hoping PZA gives out Shiny Diancie

[fading stratus]

did i stutter

[pseudo goblet]

Or at least, you know, make it encounter-able and no shiny lock,

[fading stratus]

doubt

muh mythical

[pseudo goblet]

Oh wait… Emboar family member… this thing knows recoil move doesnt it…

[fading stratus]

yes

emboar's reckless

[pseudo goblet]

Okay Luxury ball crit catch, thank god, crit catch always happens when I thrown a second ball for some reason lately

Uncommon mark again

Mate, on the behalf of most SV shiny hunters, you might as well be call Common Mark

[pseudo goblet]

Eeyup, this thing knew Head Smash and Flare Blitz

Also Timid, wtaf

That is possibly the worst nature for an Emboar

[fading stratus]

worst is modest

[pseudo goblet]

At least that I could argue some weird people like ranged fire move better lol

[sharp kernel]

@pseudo goblet what’s the best way to go about shiny hunting in SV?

[twin shard]

I’m in a tunnel system?

[pseudo goblet]

Outbreaks

[pseudo goblet]

Sealed behind a paywall, spawns isn’t a place you visit often https://youtu.be/BSsX90Vi4EM?si=Y2iF-E4UdmZb2BN7

[pseudo goblet]

I have… still so many outbreaks I could do omg https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/massoutbreaks.shtml

Wth Ditto can have outbreaks???

Kleavor can too?????

[mighty storm]

ditto outbreaks are funny

[pseudo goblet]

Do they transform into any one of the 1k+ pokemon or just be themselves lol

[mighty storm]

Transform

[pseudo goblet]

Smh

[mighty storm]

https://youtu.be/888U6uduVc8

tdlr: This is how minior shiny hunting feels like, but worst

[pseudo goblet]

Honestly I might just SOS them to get one after knowing this lol

If Kartana hunt is done that is, currently at 200 encounter

Or not, who knows

[fading stratus]

zane you should be minior shiny hunt

[pseudo goblet]

I already had three lol

One green two blue

[fading stratus]

aww

I think I had known this but I forgor

[pseudo goblet]

Tbf, I’d still want the other shiny rock candy color, they each have their shade of black in HOME despite the in-game models

[pseudo goblet]

Useless fact, atm my shinies in HOME got to 213, exactly 100 of them are he and another 100 are she

I needed to find at least two of each imposter fish lol

Really wished the default pose weren’t them swimming tho, something something Flying-only models in Gen 6

I mean, they literally can do this

@mighty storm Do you have a shiny H-Zorua? Might want some tips on finding it myself

[mighty storm]

definitely do PLA over eggs, and be good at not being spotted by fox babies

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-zorua-pokemon-legends-arceus-shiny-pokemon-gif-25755835

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah I meant PLA lmao

Hisuian forms I wanna try get them in Strange Balls

[pseudo goblet]

One of the best shiny and Pokemon

[mighty storm]

do make sure to have that one item (forgot exact name) to calm down agitated foxes that detect you while doing outbreaks

[pseudo goblet]

Mud balls right

[pseudo goblet]

… wait, do they run away or they would fight you

Cause I would rather they fight me when the shiny show up

So, I need to perfect the fox’s dex, do a lot of outbreaks in a game I haven’t touch much lately, and don’t mess up any steps, panic

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-i-take-a-bite-bite-foxes-gif-25076859

They will straight up knock you out

[pseudo goblet]

They hit that hard???

[mighty storm]

yup

[pseudo goblet]

Even with that protective charm??

Oh right I don’t have shiny charm…

In PLA, crap

The stars looks more spread then I fear imagined

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-shiny-pokémon-zorua-legends-arceus-hissuian-zorua-gif-27168877

Best odds I’d seem to get are 1/141?

[mighty storm]

1/141 with perfect and mass outbreak

[pseudo goblet]

Idk why my urge to find Shiny Zorua raised high last night, I just WANT the cute baby fox

That I kept my switch clock back, so I don’t feel the need to do SV outbreaks

Still gonna continue Kartana soft resets too

[sterile verge]

As if dena would ever give a guy an alt

Especially arven

[pseudo goblet]

Realization we could see Arven interact with Sada and Turo in masters

https://tenor.com/view/joey-tribbiani-shocked-surprised-smile-big-eyes-gif-16269317

Master EX’s Rose was before he got arrested

characters in Master EX just rolls with the fact some people they knew and in front of them, mightve came from AU

Its kinda creepy

Like with Rose, the other SwSh chara knows what happened, but to prevent any dramas, they just don’t mention the past events to that Rose

Gonna assume they gonna do similarly to Arven’s parent when its their turn eventually

[flat wing]

Alright, so playing through emerald for the battle frontier symbols, decided to make a sandstorm team for it.

What I'm thinking is this:

• Claydol
Ev trained for bulkiness rather than offense

• Quagsire
"Bulky" water type, but has insane typing and water absorb

• Flygon
Fast mixed attacker

• Scizor
Bug/Steel typing is insane gen 3, also hits like a truck

• Aerodactyl
Choice band user

• Tyranitar
Sandstorm setter and the face of gen 3 OU

Claydol and quag are already ev trained and I got very fortunate with their IVs too.

Just need to start breeding the others for very good IVs and natures etc...

[pseudo goblet]

Smh not using the Shiny Clefairy

[flat wing]

He's sitting very comfortably in the box

[pseudo goblet]

lol

[fading stratus]

surely claydol shoulda been calm mind turbo

[pseudo goblet]

You also got the sense of ‘too precious, must protecc’ for the Whismur didnt you lol

[fading stratus]

clefairy is only really good in later gen and in doubles tbh

[flat wing]

Nah, just cba training it

[fading stratus]

I think I like milotic over quagsire for bulky water type too

[flat wing]

It's usually used as a rapid spin user, but it's my only fighting resist, so just made it bulky af. Worst case scenario it'll go out with a boom

[fading stratus]

get feebas hunting

[flat wing]

Fuck that

[fading stratus]

I've hunted for feebas

and pokeblocks

it was funny

[flat wing]

Too lazy, also I've told myself to stick to ground/rock/steel types

Going for that ruin maniac trainer class

[fading stratus]

milotic is insane tho

you get surf recover toxic and fourth move can be whatever

[flat wing]

True, but quag is friend shaped

[fading stratus]

so is milotic

[flat wing]

Curse, eq rest and 4th move

[fading stratus]

if you say milotic is snake shaped I'll say quag is dick shaped

[flat wing]

https://tenor.com/view/quagsire-pokemon-wooper-huh-huhh-gif-10333941026352545707

[fading stratus]

that doesn't help the case

[pseudo goblet]

Whats Relicanth’s stat?

Also side question, how do nicknames work in Gen 3? As in, can you change the names anytime or?

[fading stratus]

relicanth sucks

[fading stratus]

you need name rater

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

[pseudo goblet]

Oh works the same as USUM, I see

[fading stratus]

I think name rater is in like sootopolis or somewhere

i forgor

in slateport apparently

oh yeah

ofc

i had forgotten

[flat wing]

Only good thing about relicanth is gen 4 it gets head smash w rock head

[fading stratus]

Its probably whooping untiered still

[pseudo goblet]

Name the Shiny Whismur ‘Clefairy’ lol

[flat wing]

Need to think of a nickname theme. Because I'm using ground/rock/steel, might name them after minerals

[fading stratus]

name after funny british actors

name tyranitar tom hardy

because its hard

as a rock

[flat wing]

[pseudo goblet]

In order

Clay
Peat
Sandstone
Lead
Fossil
Boulder

The names

[flat wing]

Fun fact! Whismur is my 3rd shiny in emerald.
1st was a shiny gloom but fled in the safari zone
2nd was a hariyama in victory road. That was terrifying because it had whirlwind

[pseudo goblet]

Wtf sumo wrestler causing tiny tornado

[maiden flax]

been playing emerald rogue

[flat wing]

Mot a clue, but managed to catch it tho

[pseudo goblet]

Makuhita was like, my second ever random shiny In SV, after Stunky lol

The fact that my dragons went from 6 to 13 in number, shocking to see My fighting types got left behind

[flat wing]

The amount of shinies I've come across in the safari zones which have fled is depressing

[pseudo goblet]

None of my games have the traditional safari park

Can’t relate, nor do I want to lmao

Which is odd like, Lets GO catch mechanic is just safari park, without throwing rocks

[flat wing]

Gloom, nidorina, pinsir and tauros

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/get-well-get-well-gif-13393267

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, this is why I haven’t use it to find shiny, I need the power to SAVE my shiny if anything goes bad

USUM… well what can I say, Its the only 3DS game I have and Im somewhat experienced to find shiny with it 😅

[flat wing]

Thing is, every time I WASNT HUNTING it was just pure chance

[fading stratus]

hunting for shinies in safari zone would be cringe

[pseudo goblet]

Explain

[fading stratus]

you;re making your life miserable for no particular reason

you just can;t put shit to sleep to catch them zane

[pseudo goblet]

lol I only use sleep when the targets catch rate is bad, Catch Charm is pretty broken

[flat wing]

Throw a rock at them, that'll sleep a mon

Speaking of, I need to get a copy of fire red again

[pseudo goblet]

Ping wrong sorry

[pseudo goblet]

Wheres the said rock, I really needed it back when I wanted the Eevee in Beast Ball

[fading stratus]

vimm.net

[pseudo goblet]

… huh, Mud Balls in PLA is just Safari Zone rocks

https://tenor.com/view/arceus-ball-of-mud-gif-24759900

[fading stratus]

yeah its actual rock

[pseudo goblet]

Throw a Geodude next time

If that fails, have a Rhyperior do the throwing next

[fading stratus]

reminds me of pokemon rusty

[flat wing]

Gonna ask my mate if he still has a hard copy of it, lent it him ages ago and just never asked for it back

[pseudo goblet]

What is that ancient looking name

[fading stratus]

you don;t know pokemon rusty?

then don;t look it up

[pseudo goblet]

I just accidentally called every people before- when was it like, 2016-ish? Calling people before that time prehistoric

[pseudo goblet]

You see, is that I do

Proof, Hell yeah Shuckle or something

Or should I straight to point and say Peanut Butter

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtu.be/uzKXTupvquE?si=_Ccbd8H2Qo8IYHJk

Everytime someone talks Safari Zone shiny hunting, I think of her lol

[flat wing]

@fading stratus as easy as that

[pseudo goblet]

Friendship goals, been trying to get my friend into pokemon since middle school

Might have to buy him a copy as bribe lol

BDSP sells for cheap these days

[pseudo goblet]

Okay I literally said I wouldn't do any SV outbreaks today, earlier, but that was me saying 'after this Shellder outbreak I have rn', so, I found a shiny Shellder lmao

Like, cmon how can I say no to this clam

[pseudo goblet]

Oooooookay I might wanna complete this… good news tho, I found another Shiny Shellder

[spice rivet]

https://youtu.be/pCk2DA_tJvY?si=y6RLw1DHHx7w3lpr

[fading stratus]

its psyspam isnt it

[spice rivet]

Game 1 the opponent misses a Will o Wisp 🫠

Also its surprisingly not

[fading stratus]

or is it electric spam

well y'know miraidon

[spice rivet]

Its basically a fairly standard Miraidon team, just with Leaves and some other specialized Teras

Tera Normal Leaves to blank Caly S for example

[fading stratus]

I personally don't like terrain teams tbh

I know mirai is insane

but just feel like terrain teams are easily "counterable"

well y'know what I mean

[spice rivet]

Big Monke go "No, Grass now"

[fading stratus]

yeah

[spice rivet]

Maybe if the Tapus were in SV I could see it since Koko/Mirai could Volt Switch for eternity

Side note, I am very happy this format killed Psy Spam

Granted, its been replaced with horse spam but you cant win em all

[fading stratus]

we had like barely any psyspam in a while anyway

monke incin killed psyspam

[spice rivet]

True

[fading stratus]

I personally don't like high power formats tbh

high powered formats means the format is so volatile and one misplay will cost you games

[spice rivet]

Agreed

Or 1 crit

[fading stratus]

yeah

[spice rivet]

Etc

[fading stratus]

palance was best format of sv

[spice rivet]

Like ya, Ive outplayed people and still lost for no real reason other than RNG, but tb Ive also gotten wins like that too

[fading stratus]

well I haven't played this format at all but it also makes bad viewer experience tbh

[spice rivet]

Ya thats fair

I atleast cant wait for double restricted

Single restricted feels too RPS

[fading stratus]

double is a bit better but idt it'll be any better

now you won't play vs Mirai or honse you'll play vs mirai and honse

[spice rivet]

True lol

[fading stratus]

hope they give us some more raid mons

so format will be more interesting

well after worlds

[spice rivet]

I wonder if theyll do any different formats on the ladder atleast, kinda like in SwSh

[fading stratus]

Xerneas

[spice rivet]

Since legends ZA likely wont be a VGC game

[fading stratus]

it's kinda weird if ZA is the only game on 2025

[spice rivet]

So were stuck with SV for a while

[fading stratus]

since SV has only one year left

they generally don't do 2 whole years of double restricted

2 whole years of same format sounds agonizing

if they do 2026 worlds in SV too we'll most likely get Xerneas as raid mon

which will be insane

even in today's time when we have shits like horse and miraidon

[spice rivet]

Ye, I could def see them doing some alt formats

[fading stratus]

idt 2 years of double restricted format has ever happened tho

atleast not after I strated playing in 2017

[spice rivet]

Ala Sun/Moon/Ultra Series

[fading stratus]

ultra series was megas 2018 legendaries 2019

this was 2018 worlds\

ans yes persian topped

[spice rivet]

Honestly, Id like to see a format where it was no restricted or Paradox, but SV dex with all the DLC

[fading stratus]

no restricted/paradox/runes would be neat

tho top 6 most used mons has only 1 restrcited

[pseudo goblet]

Finally unlocking Massive mass outbreak for my game after all this time, I feel called out looking at this shot

Zorua of all Pokemon lol

[fading stratus]

zorua the goat

[maiden flax]

that's a fox not a goat

[fading stratus]

you don't know that

[pseudo goblet]

Dont tell me I need to do these… for all 5 areas…

[pseudo goblet]

Detour, found a H-Sliggoo outbreak

[outer eagle]

Been a while since i last did a pre-NDS era randolocke
The retro feel do be hitting different

[flat wing]

[outer eagle]

Why did they even split up R104 without changing the encounter tables at all

[mighty storm]

Pokemon presents 8.8 rumors

if the ZA starter part is true, thats a tough call

[pseudo goblet]

This took, at least 4 hours to finish…

Just to unlock… wth

[spice rivet]

I immediately know its fake because TPC/Gamefreak would absolutely never, ever acknowledge Coli/XD let alone remaster it 🙃

[maiden flax]

If this is fake I like it cause it's a surprisingly realistic fake

That said it's such a safe one that I have trouble believing it
Specifically cause I'm not sure they will bring armorouge and koraidon to unite when zamazenta never made it after zacian

Similarly for Pokemon masters ex the addition of all 3 origin forms at the same time

2 of them at the same time?
Sure
All 3?
Nah

[void herald]

as we all know, blasphemy is when you capitalize words

[crimson moat]

If this were true, I can’t wait for people to awake to how lackluster Colosseum is

Feels pretty weird doing Soft Resets and Massive Mass Outbreak both at the same time

Just hit 300th encounter on Kartana

[fading stratus]

only 5670 more encounters left

you're getting there

[pseudo goblet]

Why that number may I ask lol

OHHH, SHINY DEWOTT!

I CAN HAVE A SHINY H-SAMUROTT

no that;s just random number I clicked on my keyboard

you can ping summer for literally anything and she wouldn't mind

[pseudo goblet]

Funnily enough, Oshawott was my PLA starter lol

Kinda regret on me being hyper focus on finding Zorua, when I could catch some extra shinies lol

[fading stratus]

oshawatt is probs the best pla starter too because both the others look ugly

especially decidueye

[pseudo goblet]

PLA are most ideal to find shiny for Cyndaquil line

The Cyndaquil cave in SV seems pretty famous for being HORRIBLE to hunt shiny

Also jfc 4 Samurott Alphas

My first PLA shiny for the last 2 years and 4 months, goddamn

[mighty storm]

ooh shiny dewott

[pseudo goblet]

Me not counting the shiny Ponyta quest I done last month

Papa got them more friend, Hopes on baby fox join soon

Learning every bit trick I can for it too, wasted a few effort before I found out Zorua MM-Outbreak only happens in First and Last areas

[pseudo goblet]

LETS GO, one of those two surely has the shiny baby, cmon

Damn 3 Ghastly outbreaks

[pseudo goblet]

Fingers crossed, I literally done everything I could except the Shiny Charm

No win

we literally have granguigol win a regs

snow was decent even before legendaries right?

I think the usage chart is gunna be like

1. Incineroar
2. Amoongus

Amoongus just doesn't have stuff like ice rider to contest it

OH WAIT WE HAVE WHIMSICOTT FOR TAILWIND

why play talon

[void herald]

when the second most used pokemon in the format is sus

🧯

[pseudo goblet]

Tatsugiri?

Oh the mushroom, ofc

[fading stratus]

https://pokepast.es/4c6c2d77501f4c70

do you even play arch in this

arch feels iffy

[kind vortex]

unfathomably based

as much as i like a bunch of the paradoxes, would be nice not to have to worry about them, esp in a format also w/o legends

now watch incin usage creep slowly toward 100%

[fading stratus]

Incin gets a lot better and lot worse at the same time tbh

if format powerlevel halves

since you now have to worry about ape and gambit

[pseudo goblet]

Don’t mind me https://x.com/avhycch3x80kcue/status/1818625823689392469?s=46&t=q-1AmjVFLGCcEVWLfARPPw

[kind vortex]

yes but incin's pretty much always been good even when defiant has been relevant

its typing also lets it resist most of their stabs fwiw

only really have to worry about whatever fighting move annihilape ends up running

should be able to take coverage handily enough

[fading stratus]

well lefties/sitrus annhilape always ran drain punch and scarf ape ran close combat iirc

[hasty anchor]

Ket

[sharp kernel]

Alright time to start building my team

Grimmsnarl

Can I play Krookodile @fading stratus

Without trolling

[fading stratus]

uhh lemme see what other good ground type are there

[sharp kernel]

Well the question is also, what other intimidate users are there

[pseudo goblet]

Doubles?

Can Grimmsnarl use Fake out?

Fake out + Stomping Tantrum

[fading stratus]

yes fake out it can

but its mostly setting screens/parting shoting

[sharp kernel]

I was unironically thinking of grimmsnarl + a special attacker as a base to start with

You think kilowattrel can come back ?

[fading stratus]

I think krook is probs the best physical ground type if you don't wanna play ursaluna mudsdale mamoswine

[uncut cradle]

If rain becomes hot, kilowattrel will be a decent option as tailwind + decent electric Special attacker

[fading stratus]

so its got that going for it

[pseudo goblet]

Mamo

[sharp kernel]

Mamoswine? Tf would make me want to play mamoswine

[pseudo goblet]

No more Landorus?

[fading stratus]

all legendaries are banned

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

[pseudo goblet]

Slander

[fading stratus]

probs not tbh but we'll have to look at the which electric mons are even present without brian hands/my spirit animal

[sharp kernel]

I was also unironically considering magnezone

What else

Porygon 2

[fading stratus]

Porygon 2 is gunna be insane

we'll probably have porygon 2/kommo o team in the format too

[pseudo goblet]

What about Swampert

[fading stratus]

swampert is probably good if we ban 300 more pokemon

wow why is the electric pool so shallow

best electric type might unironically be kilowatterel

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-journeys-roy-kilowattrel-sv-gif-7947533895236390012

[pseudo goblet]

Electric type have gotten top tier new mons for the last three gens huh

Gen 6 would need Megas to compete

[fading stratus]

its more like every electric type this gen sucks

except raging bolt/brian hands

also except regieleki

[pseudo goblet]

Those and KoKo

[hasty anchor]

bird up

[fading stratus]

koko isn't in this gen

rotom wash actually

[pseudo goblet]

Last three gens

[fading stratus]

probs the best electric type without legendaries/paradox

[pseudo goblet]

God, remembered this https://youtu.be/r_uyklzWyMI?si=piNELjKKvfICFDLK

[pseudo goblet]

Pikachu best electric pokemon

[sharp kernel]

Nah it’s still competitive Kilowattrel

Lead it, get intimidated, +1 SPA, parting shot with grimmsnarl into Krookodile, profit

Wait the more I think about it that’s broken lol

You can set up a safe tailwind so you don’t even have to run scarf Krookodile

[kind vortex]

should be +2 unless competitive got nerfed

it's only +1 with defiant bc you account for the -1

[sharp kernel]

Oh right it is +2

And then you can just +2 discharge

[pseudo goblet]

@mighty storm so, how does Masuda method work?

Seeing I’d do it sooner or later, might as well ask now

Foreign Ditto+pokemon of your choices? Eggs shininess changes between games right

[mighty storm]

yup

[pseudo goblet]

How different?

[mighty storm]

Oh meant you just foreign ditto with mon of choice

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

[sharp kernel]

@fading stratus help me round my team idea out

[fading stratus]

sure

[sharp kernel]

Kilowattrel/Grimmsnarl/Krookodile/Porygon 2 (?)

[fading stratus]

incin

[sharp kernel]

Porygon 2 is flexible, since he could or could not fit into the team

[fading stratus]

regardless I think you pair krook with dnite

[sharp kernel]

Why dnite?

[pseudo goblet]

feel like you could use steel or fairy

[pseudo goblet]

Wynaut lol

[fading stratus]

dnite resists water grass fighting moves that hits krook

also dnite flies

[sharp kernel]

Hmm good point

[fading stratus]

so you can spam eq

[sharp kernel]

Alright so for now let’s replace Porygon 2 with dnite

[fading stratus]

tho your team is now very fairy weak

put ghold

[pseudo goblet]

oooh that works

team was weak to fighting

1/3 at least

[sharp kernel]

Gholdengo works. How scared am I of annihilape?

[pseudo goblet]

hmm, Toxapex is here or nah

[fading stratus]

you aren't idt

pex sucks zane

it doesn't do anything

[pseudo goblet]

it is now?? what happened

[fading stratus]

pex was always abyssmal in doubles

[pseudo goblet]

wasn't it good?

ahhh, nvm then

[fading stratus]

because it's very passive

"passive" mons only work if they redirect or spam spore

at that point they're not really pasisve anymore

[pseudo goblet]

I completely forgot I have a MM-Outbreak running in the background, damn it

[sharp kernel]

Do I just round out the team with rillaboom at this point?

[pseudo goblet]

that could work, or Inci lol

[fading stratus]

idk if kilowatterel works tbh but you do you

[pseudo goblet]

would it help if go double electric with Bellibolt

[pseudo goblet]

oooof, Combee outbreak... with Icelands having my actual target potentially

[pseudo goblet]

false alarm, no shiny bee, back to fox hunt

[pseudo goblet]

@mighty storm @fading stratus

[mighty storm]

Fox friend!

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Y'all shouldve hear the happy sound I was making half of the time during capture

[mighty storm]

I should show you my zorua

[sharp kernel]

@fading stratus IV spreads for grimmsnarl?

[pseudo goblet]

Hehe, I actually changed my clock back so it actually record the correct date I found it on

[sharp kernel]

also, should I do Parting shot, fake out, taunt, spirit break for moveset?

[fading stratus]

31/0/31/31/31/31

[sharp kernel]

mb I meant EV spread

[fading stratus]

you play parting shot 2 screens and either t wave or spirit break

face out if exists in fourth slot

you play special evs to survive a +2 make it rain under screen probs

[mighty storm]

dont want to do a proper screenshot right now, but look 😄

@pseudo goblet

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/shiny-shiny-pokémon-zorua-legends-arceus-hissuian-zorua-gif-27168877

Nows probably the best time for me to watch this short special lmao

[mighty storm]

yup

[fading stratus]

did you finish paldean winds yet zane

[pseudo goblet]

You made me lmao

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

second watch next time Ill watch in dub

[fading stratus]

paldean winds probs my fav animation from pokemon

all 3 main characters are fleshed out and have their own set of motivation and challenges

[pseudo goblet]

small btw, my chara and the Shiny baby is just chilling in the night sky lmao

Its a shame I think Zorua looks better in PLA over SV, maybe

But hey that just mean I can look at it cutely and swipe dust out of PLA everytime lol

[pseudo goblet]

was it worth staying up around 4 am and play this 2 year old game doing this, kinda yes, weirdly I felt no fatique during work next day

all for this tired looking baby

[fading stratus]

this looks better than purple

[pseudo goblet]

He sit

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah Zoroark Im okay with getting it later lol

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/hisuian-zorua-cute-pokemon-zorua-gif-23523753

@fading stratus decent example as to what I'm looking to do https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2171379840

[fading stratus]

murkrow

[pseudo goblet]

I probably should get back to SV, while Im pretty sure MM-outbreak method is in my muscle memory now, boi I missed Auto battles man

Now Im just gonna rush the daily 50 encounters on Kartana

[swift jasper]

Ngl larry is better as the turkish guy

Switch him and rikka

[pseudo goblet]

I like to think the targets they re shooting looks like Geeta lmfao

Or just mentally project Geeta’s face on it

[fading stratus]

larry is probs like 50 too

[pseudo goblet]

Larry is 52?

[fading stratus]

man larry and rika look so interesting and poppy is just a child

why does hashbrown have to be the worst e4

[pseudo goblet]

Hassel?

[swift jasper]

Bulbapedia says that he's part of the league for 25 years

So I'd say 40 is reasonable

[fading stratus]

yeah whatever his name is

[fading stratus]

do you get that grey hair in 40 tho

when did iono say larry has been in league for 25 years

I probably didnt notice it or forgot

probs ep 4

[pseudo goblet]

God I need to do those coach fights in BB lol

Funny lores + free Shiny Blitzle

https://youtu.be/Arm1iQB-0mM?si=cWrQOrrhXdYgIBLn

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda surprised Bolt you didn’t force me against my will to do those lol

[swift jasper]

I have some grey hair at 27

[fading stratus]

she does say it

[pseudo goblet]

I had a few before even entering middle school, is that normal

[fading stratus]

yes

[fading stratus]

[fading stratus]

oh lol

do you want me to

[pseudo goblet]

At least I get a free shiny

[fading stratus]

smh

you already have too much going on tbh

[pseudo goblet]

Might even train up some of my shiny to do those

[fading stratus]

with shiny kartana and shiny hunting in pla

[pseudo goblet]

I can’t really think of PLA exclusive shiny Id want immediately

H-Sneasle maybe

[fading stratus]

shiny ursaluna

[pseudo goblet]

I have a Shiny Teddiursa lol

[fading stratus]

also like braviary tbh

have you seen uts shiny

you'd love it

[pseudo goblet]

That I don’t

[pseudo goblet]

Same color changes as Zorua

[fading stratus]

it looks like blue flames burning on its foreheard

unlike zorua

[fading stratus]

also avalugg shiny looks fine

it looks like a excavator

and female yellow basculegion is okayish

[pseudo goblet]

Might be because I have it, I kinda love this color lmao

[fading stratus]

its okay

[kind vortex]

its face looks like ass, everything else is fine

[fading stratus]

that's a mfing excavator vro

more like whatever canadians use to move snow

[pseudo goblet]

Those would be up there in ma list, but, PLA water pokemon are famous to just disappear into the deep waters

Ig Cyndaquil I would need some attention on, could get one of ma Rowlet into the Hisuian evo, Dewott found in PLA is too fitting for the Hisuian evo

Ooof, Shiny H-Growlithe

Bigger ooof, H-Sliggoo and Goodra

Mmmm, Lilligant

[warm sky]

why did you spoil this but not blade's final form lol

[warm sky]

his logic for our unovan sv man is not entirely correct btw. He's a breeder (or was iirc), so of course he has a female team, because he's breeding them, and unless he uses a ditto - a pokémon is always the same species as the mother.

Also for Grimsley, I'd argue there's a multitude of reasons his team could be all female

[pseudo goblet]

Wished it would be too out of context to get the joke lol

[pseudo goblet]

Oh really?

[warm sky]

well it's more implied

[pseudo goblet]

Glorified daycare center?

[warm sky]

the fact it's an artificial biome for various pokémon.

[pseudo goblet]

wait... that means of his pokemon all- oh my

Also, probably best I do 100 encounters on Kartana today, Im okay with this drags on for 3000 or so, but I was gonna nickname my 3DS shinies and send them to HOME before I did this, so, someone please use a piece of black color paper in this origami already lol

[flat wing]

50 win streak at battle factory came to an end in emerald

[pseudo goblet]

time to transfer the Clefairy into HOME

[flat wing]

dugtrio was my only eq mon
didn't have any others with levitate or flying typing.
I accidentally poisoned a guts heracross which annihilated me

[pseudo goblet]

400th, 50 more to go

[mighty storm]

WAIT A SECOND

The PMD game is coming out on August 9th?!

||A day after the rumored day of the presents||

[spice rivet]

Built different (I was at +2 Sp. Def)

[pseudo goblet]

HOOOO! It took 33 pulls to get a unit I dont have

A man that needs therapy, then the therapist having their own session afterwards

Some of these gift codes are gonna be gone soon btw

[sterile verge]

This banner is not good

Especially pre-anni

Also hi I've been super innactive recently because depression

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah I only wanted to do 33, the rest of the gems goes to incoming banners

[sterile verge]

5th anni so

Probably a TON of units

[pseudo goblet]

Is it because of tests

[sterile verge]

No

I've been on summer break for like a month

[pseudo goblet]

Wait so the SS Nemona is anni unit?

[sterile verge]

No

Anni starts at the end of august

[pseudo goblet]

Ig there is a time slot between current event and that

Really want SS Nemona and Arven tho

[fading stratus]

NO WAY

HOLY SHIT

HOW TF IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE

[pseudo goblet]

Sp atk -6?

[fading stratus]

maybe it wasn't specs miraidon

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera-Electric Miraidon Electro Drift vs. +2 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar in Electric Terrain: 156-184 (58.4 - 68.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

oh nvm

idk if miraidon sucks or pagos is just that tanky

[golden lance]

Latter

Pagos catches a ton of people offguard

[fading stratus]

its not that pagos catches people offguard its that miraidon catches people offguard

so its weird to see miraidon not kill

[pseudo goblet]

Damn, found out Togekiss isnt in SV, actually wanted if Bolt could me put up a doubles team from my shinies lol

[fading stratus]

sure

gimme a list

of mons

[pseudo goblet]

Here the list

Majority of them horrible for comp

[golden lance]

Hey bolt

How's arch looking like rn?

[pseudo goblet]

Cat fish and Sushi might have to the stars here

[fading stratus]

not this format choccy arch apparently sucks in slightly higher power format next format will be the lowest powered format we've had in a year and half

so lets see if it'll shine next format

[golden lance]

Oh reg H isnt online yet?

[fading stratus]

you do have dodonzo right I missed it probs

reg h in showdown yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

Gyarados for ability maybe but I could go with Incineroar ig

[fading stratus]

what's this for btw zane just ingame team

or

[pseudo goblet]

Online comp

Or whatever its called lol

[golden lance]

Oh yea right

I still need to beat SV

[pseudo goblet]

I might need to catch some new shinies JUST for the comp team

Grookey maybe

[fading stratus]

oh hmm I'll make a team for you for next format

with no legendaries/paradox

[pseudo goblet]

Was afraid youd say that, despite me knowing already lol

Couldve just use Summer’s Flutter mane lmao

[golden lance]

Serp will be viable next format

Trust me vro

[fading stratus]

no like legendaries and paradox are banned

next format

[fading stratus]

that's what boyt says every format

how about we not build dozogiri team

I have a cool team in mind after seeing a few mons

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah

[fading stratus]

how about this zane

[pseudo goblet]

If it helps, checked my recordings of the 3DS mon, Yanmega, Hippowdon and Ludicolo feels viable, tho, Hippo aint in SV iirc lmao

[pseudo goblet]

I love how Alola this feels lmao

[golden lance]

Aquaramid

[fading stratus]

araquanid is insane

shit was meta back in sun moon

because water bubble mystic water liquidation hits like a train

its basically urshifu from walmart

[pseudo goblet]

Any new member I should catch

[fading stratus]

no I'll just make use of the mons you already have

[pseudo goblet]

Wait did you not saw the Grimmsnarl?

[fading stratus]

how this

[pseudo goblet]

Oh thank god lol

[pseudo goblet]

Fire and bug

And fairys

[pseudo goblet]

I trust you

Also I would like catch a new Larvesta for the Volcarona lmao

Kinda surprised you didnt say Scizor or Metagross

[fading stratus]

no I just wanna make it as simple to use as possible

like the theory is just you either wanna trick room

using mimikyu and stuff

or just play setup mode with grimmsnarl volcarona

[pseudo goblet]

Whens the next format btw?

[fading stratus]

after worlds

well starts next month probs

sept 1 -jan 5

[golden lance]

Hey bolt

How do you feel about being not having to see flutter mane for about 4 months?

[fading stratus]

flutter hasn't been good this format either

[spice rivet]

I wont lie I was kinda surprised too, but either way I wouldve won since I still had Rilla with Wood Hammer it

[fading stratus]

ah makes sense
monke strong

[spice rivet]

I also dont know the actual Terapoagos EVs tbh

[fading stratus]

252/0 is standard calm mind evs

btw yozzoy

help me build this team for zane

[fading stratus]

like this looks fine right I'm kinda feeling something is off

idk what

[spice rivet]

I cant rn, still doing some work. Just taking a quick break rn

[fading stratus]

@pseudo goblet can you do uhh porygon 2 tbh

[pseudo goblet]

I could try

[golden lance]

Thoughts on palafin for zane's team?

[spice rivet]

Eye balling it, it feels like maybe its a bit lopsided for type?

2 Fairy, 2 Dark, 2 Fires, 2 Bug, 1 Water, 1 Grass, 1 Poison

[pseudo goblet]

I’ll put Flipturn on it just to make Bolt rage

[spice rivet]

FWG core is always solid but maybe another type like Dragon that resists opposing FWG could be good?

[fading stratus]

no like the fairies and fires all do different things

so the type should be fineish

[pseudo goblet]

… also Ill need someones help to evolve the dolphin, damn it

[spice rivet]

Thats fair

[fading stratus]

i wanna make it araquanid oriented 2 watter attackers is kinda redundant

[golden lance]

I guess

I think you need one more TR abuser

[pseudo goblet]

Watch Bolt suggest Indeedee lol

[golden lance]

Like

[spice rivet]

Theres also a bit of a rock weakness with Incin, Vol and Araq

[golden lance]

If aqua goes down your damage potential kinda tanks

[fading stratus]

yeah that's what I was seeing

[fading stratus]

mimikyu will be swords dance

[pseudo goblet]

Oh wait I would need new Litten for the incineroar, shit

[fading stratus]

so you rage powder shadow claw spam

[golden lance]

I guess that works?

[spice rivet]

Maybe something like Garchomp, or another solid ground type that I cant think of

[golden lance]

Feels like you're putting too much weight on it tho

[fading stratus]

I REALLY wanna add kommo-o porygon 2 here

[spice rivet]

Kommo-o is actually the sauce I think

[fading stratus]

zane's shiny pool just lacks a lot of mons I wanna put here tbh

[pseudo goblet]

Im down, those twos shinies are dope

[spice rivet]

Fighting to resist rock, Dragon as a solid general type

[pseudo goblet]

Okay fine Kommo-o shiny is hit or miss, but again, I take ugly shiny

[fading stratus]

now there's flying weakness

hmm

what would be the best 6th slot

[golden lance]

Rillaboom

Jk

[fading stratus]

hmm actually

alolan ninetales

that's the goo

[golden lance]

I was thinking of rotom tbh

[pseudo goblet]

More stuff to hunt

[fading stratus]

zane you already have ninetales

well vulpix

[pseudo goblet]

Thats Kantonian

[pseudo goblet]

I like cute okay lmao

I don’t mind taking shiny hunt orders lmao

[fading stratus]

ninetales kinda synergies with kommo o

because you can setup under aurora veil

[pseudo goblet]

At this pointc you re just exposing my alolan roots

[fading stratus]

araquanid also has decent bulk so you can probs spam liquid under aurora veil

even without tr

kommo has 3 great abilities what would you play hmm

I'm putting overcoat rn

this team is so hard wtf

like 4 mons want similar items

oh wait no I'm just dumb

[golden lance]

Go shiny hunt a palossand

This aint for your team i just think it looks cool

[pseudo goblet]

IVE BEEN TRYING

I WANNA FIND IT WITH THE RAIN TACTIC, RAIN JUST DONT LAST LONG ENOUGH

[vagrant steppe]

@pseudo goblet got bored and reinstalled pokemon masters. Did I pull/ do I have anyone good?

I also just pulled Iris (alt) and Hydreigon

[sterile verge]

Literally just the red is good

The new elio might be? I forgot

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty much

[pseudo goblet]

Mask Royale and Gloria is pretty good

Its Incineroar, kinda expected lol

[golden lance]

Tbf do you even need good units for masters?

[vagrant steppe]

Elio seems silly

[golden lance]

From when i played you can kinda just do whatever you want

[vagrant steppe]

He can make everyone really hard to kill

I've heard that Sygna Suit Red and Hubert are some of the best units in the game

[pseudo goblet]

If you want the rewards from difficult event battles

[pseudo goblet]

Definitely use your items, im putting hard mode on myself

[golden lance]

You can still just put the 3 best units you have that have the mildest of synergy and go, no?

[pseudo goblet]

Unless the battles ‘demands’ goes with the team, sure

[golden lance]

Like, i wouldnt really worry about being optimal in masters

[pseudo goblet]

Like, ‘you NEEED to debuff your enemy’s stat to ACTUALLY do damage’

‘You NEED go poison them to do damage’

Shits like that

[pseudo goblet]

Imagine the damage you dealt is 15% of what you normally dealt, unless you burn them because the game says it

[golden lance]

I mean, sure

Play a burn unit and move on

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

The battles can be VERY specific sometime, sometime you just want better unit that helps with the chore

Its literally why I love using Champion Serena, random five debuffs in one move plus what’s basically a water weakness into the enemy

[fading stratus]

zane

if you'll hunt ninetales anyway

can you hunt gholdengo instead

:3

https://pokepast.es/d8757a1c562c9f03

I think this is actually a really good team

I'll do evs later

[pseudo goblet]

YA CANT HUNT ONE

[fading stratus]

aww

[normal cave]

That's vgc ye?

[fading stratus]

ye

[pseudo goblet]

Unless the raid coming soon, but thats 1/4k

[normal cave]

Incineroar moment

[fading stratus]

what a shame I think gholdengo solved all the problems of the team too

[pseudo goblet]

I mean I don’t mind if its not 100% shiny team for comp lmao

[fading stratus]

yeah I think you kinda need gholdengo here tbh

there's just no other good ghost type that fits this team

[pseudo goblet]

Don’t they like, make the winner teams pokemon as mystery gift later

Not saying I have a chance to be that, I just appreciate when the gift pokemon is shiny lmao

[fading stratus]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

The Amoongus, Grimmsnarl and Lucario were mystery gift

[fading stratus]

you'll probably get a mystery gift this worlds too

[pseudo goblet]

I fucking missed my chance to get the shiny Arcanine…

[pseudo goblet]

Was the winners pokemon shiny lmao

[fading stratus]

expect iron hands flutter mane or amoongus

not shiny no

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm, gift Amoongus most likely lol

[fading stratus]

or they could give based on runner up

[pseudo goblet]

The fact that I’ll using a past champions pokemon in a comp lmao

[fading stratus]

someone tell me does pollen puff work with good as gold

zane btw the playstyle of the team is

you can either play trick room

or just balance

[pseudo goblet]

The Amoongus

[pseudo goblet]

Whats the next best candidate for Gold’s slot

That can really make people hate me and goes ‘STOP FLEXING YOUR SHINY’ lol

[fading stratus]

I'm not really sure on that tbh I wanted ninetales but I really don't think it fits the team too much

[golden lance]

[golden lance]

Its only a spoiler if you know the context

I dont know the context

[pseudo goblet]

Also, there weren’t that many Pawniard Outbreak Ive found

[pseudo goblet]

Alolan Muk?

Thoughts chain got into regional forms and along with that

Oh wait I do have Grimer, guess I can assume you thought about it already

[fading stratus]

lemme think again maybe we can make balance

uhh maybe this if you can get the last 3

[pseudo goblet]

Finally Dragonite was in the equation

[fading stratus]

zane can you do the shiny list in dex order

[pseudo goblet]

Wdym

[fading stratus]

like nat dex order

[pseudo goblet]

Oh

Didnt need to post thag many Pikachu if it weren’t for the charmander

[fading stratus]

do you have harcanine

incin is probs fine

[pseudo goblet]

Not yet, wait its viable???

[fading stratus]

harcanine resists rock

flying

so it fits the team I was trying to build

[pseudo goblet]

Oh wait Normal Arcanine had Intimidate doesnt it, it transfers to Hisuian

[fading stratus]

if its transfered to hisui does it change formes idts?

I think this is fine I wanna say

[pseudo goblet]

I mean as in the Hisuian gets it because normal one does lmao

[fading stratus]

this probs is better

[pseudo goblet]

Dondozo without sushi? Unheard of

Lol

[fading stratus]

I think harcanine specifically suits here

over incin

[fading stratus]

the gameplan is

make dondozo unkillable

then spam fissure

@sharp kernel I think this team suits you its got your fav mons

https://pokepast.es/59bf8f5e1e99fb52

I think this is fine zane

heavy slam should be fissure if you wanna clown

but I really don't like less accurate moves

[pseudo goblet]

Nuts, need to go back PLA after all lmao

[pseudo goblet]

This is for Doubles right, why dont we continue the fun and come up with a singles team

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

[fading stratus]

ladder is 3v3 singles right

@golden lance kidge come here lets make a team for zane

[golden lance]

Here

[fading stratus]

its for 3v3 singles so idt you play hazards right

[golden lance]

Ok so the strat is

No one playing singles on cart knows what theyre doing

So we just play 6 setup sweepers

Jk

[golden lance]

Not really

Unless its like

H-samu or glimm

Which does it on the side

Do singles on cart follow the same regulations as vgc?

[fading stratus]

glimm

yes

[golden lance]

Gotcha

[fading stratus]

or paradox

[golden lance]

One of those I need to hunt eventually lol

[golden lance]

Lokix aint the worst

You switch in

First impression nuke
