Spot the shiny

[pseudo goblet]

[spice rivet]

Got bored and decided to do some manips in PLA again

I realize I never did get all the Hisuian mons as Shiny Alphas

[fading stratus]

As shiny alphas

ah yes

@pseudo goblet something for you to hunt

[spice rivet]

Ill still need: Electrode line, Qwilfish line, Wyrdeer, Liligant, Avalugg, both Basculegion

100% the Basculegion will be the worst ones to do due to how goddamn finicky Basculin are in PLA

[pseudo goblet]

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

[spice rivet]

I have a non Alpha Shiny F Basculegion that I caught by pure chance once atleast

[pseudo goblet]

Later, planning on getting rest from shiny hunt for couple of days, 3 maybe

Kartana Im just gonna power through the last 300 encounter then Ill end it, or the shiny comes

[pseudo goblet]

Thinking I might prefer getting the Basculins through SV

Getting them from PLA feels the best, but I wouldn’t if finding them in SV first if fated that way

[mighty storm]

M

[pseudo goblet]

Oh I didnt even saw the Unown

[mighty storm]

The shiny M stands for Mega, Mega Unown confirmed

[pseudo goblet]

Wait Arent Shiny Unowns bright blue color?

mf looks Purple

[mighty storm]

fog effect, and is an alpha

[mighty storm]

TRUE

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus help, I just thought of a name for Shiny Guzzlord and I kinda want it now

Doesn’t fit it once shiny, Ill admit

[fading stratus]

what name

[pseudo goblet]

Meet, Space Dinosaur Zetton https://youtu.be/QBWdMl2L8e4?si=q1uu_dzpl28DQKMX

Don’t ask me why its called a Dinosaur, like, this guy has so many variant forms yet only two of them I can argue looks like Dinosaurs

[pseudo goblet]

Btw, I assume you read/watch Seven Deadly Sins manga/anime?

[fading stratus]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

I promise this question will lead back to pokemon

[pseudo goblet]

Aight, which pokemon should I name Meliodas, Im thinking Hydreigon

[fading stratus]

annhilape

[pseudo goblet]

Why

Dead- ohhh, Wrath

[fading stratus]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

So was Hydreigon no

[fading stratus]

well it destroys anything it sees

so kinda ig?

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm

Wouldve name my Togekiss Elizabeth if its a female

[fading stratus]

diancie

actually rapidash

galarian

[pseudo goblet]

… kinda want a Shiny Thievul and name it Ban

[fading stratus]

because

1. its british (elizabeth is british)
2. its fairy which is kinda close to a goddess ig?

[pseudo goblet]

||fairies aint angels are they ||

[fading stratus]

who knows

never met one

[pseudo goblet]

I just remember I still very much want the Galarian forms

Iirc only Stunfisk and Weezing are in DA but ehhhh… not really the best shinies in that group

Farfetch almost no difference, Sirfetch is the top priority

Cursola and Rapidash looks great but iirc Sheild Exclusive

Darmanitan… looks sick, like it needs a doctor

[pseudo goblet]

Mr Rime is easy, Chaplin

[fading stratus]

the grimmsnarl is easy too

name it baba yaga

[pseudo goblet]

Lmao its a gift, not sure If I can name it

[fading stratus]

catch another

ez

you wanna

trust

[pseudo goblet]

Nope

[pseudo goblet]

Later, sure

Spirit Break but Calm and no atk iv???

[fading stratus]

why would you not wanna have a mon nicknamed baba yaga

[pseudo goblet]

Whats Baba Yaga anyway

[fading stratus]

its a russian folklore

[pseudo goblet]

Yama Baba I’d get

[fading stratus]

you should read vasilisa the beautiful

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

[fading stratus]

I first found out about baba yaga from that folklore

[pseudo goblet]

Yep, both baba are just old woman lol

[fading stratus]

baba probably means old or sth

[pseudo goblet]

Russia and Japan are pretty close

[fading stratus]

in our language baba just means father so nothing to do with witches or old women

[pseudo goblet]

Same

[fading stratus]

what language do y'all speak btw? malay?

[pseudo goblet]

Speak, Chinese
Typing, English, duh
Hate but use when situation demands it, Malay

[fading stratus]

oh chinese

[pseudo goblet]

I openly show my chinese-ness on many times lol

[fading stratus]

mayhaps

[pseudo goblet]

Some even have you in the room lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Imagine the second language you learn becomes your best one

[fading stratus]

my second language is like hindi and third is like english

[pseudo goblet]

Heck, I didnt even focus on classes and still get B

[fading stratus]

nepali is kinda hard to write so I prefer english too

to write atleast

[pseudo goblet]

my english speakings needs work tho

[fading stratus]

same

I'm just not used to speak in english

so it feels awkward

[pseudo goblet]

哈哈弄到你用Google翻译

[fading stratus]

fuck you

[pseudo goblet]

I had to fall for my own joke to make sure it works, so

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus teams all ev up now

[fading stratus]

ladder starts in 10 days

[pseudo goblet]

So around next weekend

Well, Next Next weekend

[fading stratus]

basically next sunday yeah

[spice rivet]

Some of tns hunting

[fading stratus]

those look huge

[spice rivet]

Nothing new in terms of Alpha shinys, but hey Electrode is new

[fading stratus]

electrode reminds me

[spice rivet]

They are huge.

[fading stratus]

that electrode team was funny maybe its playable again

[pseudo goblet]

Thats what he said

[fading stratus]

zane........

electrode does get galvanize hyper voice

I should play rr again

electrode seems funny

[spice rivet]

I also cant wait to Aqua Voice Perish Song someone in Reg H.

And by someone I mean a Dondozo player

[fading stratus]

electrode's only niche in vgc is its faster maushold for mausape

[spice rivet]

I am not looking forward to playing Mausape on Bo1 ladder

[fading stratus]

but what;s aqua voice btw

[fading stratus]

and psyspam

[spice rivet]

Honestly considering adding Frisk H. Tyhphlosion just to see what Im up against

[fading stratus]

especially with tera stellar

you never know if its weak armor or just flash fire

[spice rivet]

Primarina Hidden Ability. I think its actually called Liquid Voice

[fading stratus]

yes

liquid voice perish is funny tho

that means ghosts aren't immune

[spice rivet]

Just have to be wary of Gastrodon

[fading stratus]

gastro is probably great next format

if palance is the archetype to beat

but like you have rilla

[spice rivet]

And Primarina seems great next format

[fading stratus]

I did think a lot about it whilemaking that team for zane

[spice rivet]

Haze alone helps so much

[pseudo goblet]

Watch me and you meet in match lol

[fading stratus]

you just play lefties calm mind

tera steel

I wanted primarina in that team but Item conflict zane

also 3 setup sweepers would be excessive

[spice rivet]

True

[fading stratus]

Harcanine is in really good spot next format

it's a intimidate user which has a good matchup against incin

[spice rivet]

But ya, Im thinking of a FWG core of Incin/Prim/Rilla, then I need to figure out the rest of the team. Cause I want to be able to consistently beat Mausape, Duraladon Rain, Psyspam and Dozo.

[fading stratus]

giraf

[spice rivet]

Ive also heard people like H Decidueye since its a Scrappy fighting type with crit cheese that also bodies Incin

[fading stratus]

I thought about mausape a lot a while ago

best way to beat it is just rocky helmet amoongus

[spice rivet]

True

And if they dont have Goggles theyre throwing

[fading stratus]

yeah

also I think specs ghold is actually really funny against rain

[pseudo goblet]

Btw Bolt, see if you get the feeling team could get better with these new babies lol

[fading stratus]

that team is fine

we can change stuff as meta changes

well azu over spider

[pseudo goblet]

Starting from Aipom, they re all from raids lol

[fading stratus]

252 atk 252 hp 4 def is okay

adamant

life orb

with protect liquidation aqua jet play rough

[pseudo goblet]

Hehehe

[fading stratus]

i probably can optimize lp for life orb

https://pokepast.es/4d411aca382dd816

idt you need lp optimization

just play either of these

I don't like AV because I like more damage

[pseudo goblet]

Thought I was gonna go triple easter eggs lmao

[fading stratus]

you can't play more than 1 mon of same species

its called species clause

also no duplicate item either

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

@fading stratus @sterile verge @outer eagle

At least I got him for free

[fading stratus]

crawdaunt cant even dance

[sterile verge]

[pseudo goblet]

He’s actually quite usable, could replace my Piers for Dark Tank-unit, tho kinda odd I got him AND Arven, who is also a Dark Tank

Cyrus & Darkrai there is Dark Tech

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/lobster-dance-redlobster-seafood-gif-5699022

Different shellfish but go with it lol

Although the chinese name for Corphish does mean ‘Lobster-Pawn’/龙虾小兵

[fading stratus]

crawdaunt is just too fat to dance

[fading stratus]

is arven a tank

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

Support=Tank

[fading stratus]

who tf is paulo

[pseudo goblet]

Why you ask lol

[fading stratus]

that guy has lycanroc

[pseudo goblet]

Master EX Rival

[fading stratus]

ah

[pseudo goblet]

You’d thought clothes like these Cyrus would’ve find as Tacky

@fading stratus question, once next ladder comes, do people with Master Rank drop to zero or just one tier below?

[fading stratus]

ladder resets every month

by like 2 or 3 tiers

[pseudo goblet]

How many tiers are there

[fading stratus]

beginner pokeball great ball ultra ball master ball

I think you drop by 2 not 3

[pseudo goblet]

Pokemon Unite ranks ptsd

At least this time theres no noobs to affect me when winning

[fading stratus]

objection

you

[pseudo goblet]

Also, phew that means I don’t have to worry running into Master tank players first tier

[pseudo goblet]

Yup lmao

[pseudo goblet]

The problem is, if I did well, no hard drop from grace because of team did bad

[fading stratus]

then you miss playrough

or will o

[pseudo goblet]

Then I can at least punish myself, instead of me just spamming notices on noobs I can’t touch digitally lmao

[fading stratus]

whats the team again

gib link

[pseudo goblet]

https://pokepast.es/d52a38eeaf24df65

[fading stratus]

life orb or band in azu

If you play azu there really will only be 2 inaccurate moves in the team

which is fine

[mighty storm]

voltorb hunt is so painful

[pseudo goblet]

Fairy type version of elemental punches when

[fading stratus]

it'd suck anyway

you'd never play a 75 bp move over 90

[mighty storm]

Sylph Punch could be the name

[pseudo goblet]

Didn’t the finals I watch guy lost because his move missed lmao

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-saber-reika-saiki-saiki-reika-tinkerbell-muscle-cutie-gif-18621532

[mighty storm]

and the flavor could it be like a punch surrounded by pink wind

[fading stratus]

in seniors

draco missed

but there's a reason he played draco over dragon pulse

in miraidon

0 Atk Huge Power Azumarill Ice Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Annihilape: 120-144 (64.8 - 77.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

0 Atk Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Annihilape: 144-170 (77.8 - 91.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Just see how much difference it makes

(I made that ice punch fairy)

[pseudo goblet]

Fairy version of Close Combat then

CC don’t miss right?

[fading stratus]

they won't ever give arguably the best type in the game a close combat

they should nerf fairy type a bit

fairy type singlehandedly made dragon from the best type in the game to fourth best type in the game

[pseudo goblet]

Still funny, we still yet to get a Fire Fairy pokemon, when we already have a Fire Fairy looking pokemon, and looks more Fairy than Gardevoir

[flat wing]

Battle tower silver obtained. Quag is the goat. THE GOAT

[outer eagle]

gl with gold

[fading stratus]

does frontier allow restricteds

[outer eagle]

nope

[fading stratus]

pooh catch a suicune

lefties suicune sounds unkillable

[outer eagle]

can you even catch that in emerald

[fading stratus]

don't they roam after you complete e4

[outer eagle]

just checked and it's FRLG exclusive

and only roaming there after e4 yeah

easier to catch a Latios or something

[tacit sphinx]

Wanna know something funny about this

There’s a bug in FRLG

If Raikou or Entei use Roar, they permanently despawn

[outer eagle]

yeah the one where the roaming mon is lost forever if it runs>

oh Roar specifically

[fading stratus]

there are a lot of bugs in FRLG

[tacit sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exG220Mur04

peak music btw, speaking of the beasts

[fading stratus]

back in the day people used to thing that if you B on exact time the pokeball is closing you'll have a 100% catch rate

[outer eagle]

placebo effect do be a thing

i still do it til this day just cuz there's no reason not to

[tacit sphinx]

nah boltz what works is

you shut your eyes

if you aren't looking at the pokemon it won't break out

[outer eagle]

even if it's only placebo it lessens the presure so either way it's nice

[fading stratus]

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/960099-pokemon-heartgold-version/55014893

here's one iteration of that from like 14 yrs ago

[tacit sphinx]

this is gonna sound dumb but i miss when the internet was smaller and games could have urban legends

[fading stratus]

I remember watching pokemon creepypastas back when I was a kid

[tacit sphinx]

Is it nostalgia to call gen 2's gym theme the best

[fading stratus]

yes

[tacit sphinx]

but it has that one bit that jumps octaves

the best 10 seconds of pokemon music ever

[fading stratus]

the cycling theme of gen 3 is best smh

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/1pBl5sWchJY?t=50

this bit

[fading stratus]

https://youtu.be/gexTc0YbYx8?si=KdXkIzrJobllrbji

[tacit sphinx]

I think there are better cycling themes

[fading stratus]

no I have gen 3 bias

because gen 3 games are the first games I played

[outer eagle]

i mean preferances are preferances

[tacit sphinx]

I like gen 5's

[outer eagle]

gym themes wise i like gen 5's best (altho i haven't heard the gen 8-9)

surfing theme i like gen 3

[tacit sphinx]

gen 8 gym theme is a bit repetitive for me, gen 9's is great until the tera theme

[fading stratus]

https://youtu.be/tYA17PTy5y4?si=g4Jf_zi63mbiu4vh

this is such a nostalgic theme

[tacit sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRZ4nS2yVeI

Like legit

Right up until the Tera theme, this fucks so hard

and then the chanting just kills it

[outer eagle]

yeah littleroot and pallet town do be nostalgia themes

evil team theme i like neo plasma

legendary i like ultra necrozma's best

[tacit sphinx]

Rocket theme from HGSS fucks

[outer eagle]

closely followed by swords of justice ig

[tacit sphinx]

But I think the best villain theme is the remix of Galactic's from Smash

Cyrus has the best leader theme

[outer eagle]

i can see that

i like bw2 ghetsis equally but cyrus is great too

[fading stratus]

i like ghetsis too

[tacit sphinx]

Even though the beast theme is my favourite overall legendary theme

My favourite bit of a legendary theme is in Dialga/Palkia's theme

[outer eagle]

a shame that e4 themes weren't really that common in the earlier gens

still i do like unova e4 theme quite a bit

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/I_57ptO3TKc?t=116

this bit

the piano bit

it's such a short section but it's incredible

[outer eagle]

even tho i like gen 5 gym leader theme more overall hgss's initial riffs are pretty hype

i never heard much of dialga and palkia's themes now that i think about it

prolly cuz platinum was what i played

[fading stratus]

I should replay all games starting from gen 1s
when I have free time

well all as in 1 from each series

[outer eagle]

Fire Red, Heart Gold, Emerald, Platinum, Black, Black 2, X, Ultra Moon are the ones i've played

[tacit sphinx]

Funny gen 1 challenge: never encounter a glitch

[fading stratus]

been so long since i played gen 1

and it was yellow that I played in gen 1 iirc

[tacit sphinx]

PIIIIKA

[fading stratus]

blue is such a bitch

even at start

[tacit sphinx]

https://youtu.be/LNV4P3DFPps?si=SxN27P7bU9OJWJqI

[outer eagle]

i don't remember much about blue ngl

[tacit sphinx]

Remember Bill

[outer eagle]

unfortunately

[fading stratus]

I was the one who made him clefairy

or whatever that horned shit was in gen1

[outer eagle]

it was clef i think

[tacit sphinx]

Renren when they hear they can become a Clefable:

[outer eagle]

Ren is already Clef irl

[fading stratus]

ren's probs clef height too

[tacit sphinx]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/f/f8/Red_Clefairy_PM.png/revision/latest?cb=20161010235044

This is Ren

[outer eagle]

oh god that manga

[fading stratus]

I haven't read pocket monsters

[vocal torrent]

Why they slapped Satoshi face on that Clefairy

[fading stratus]

this is just vegeta

[fading stratus]

why not

[vocal torrent]

Now I wonder how Blue look like as Pokemon

[outer eagle]

i first approached pokemon with the specials manga so the frlg rival is always Green to me

[fading stratus]

he'll always be blue for me

even if he's like white or brown

[pseudo goblet]

To japan He’s Green

[outer eagle]

now that i think about it does Masters have Yellow in it?

she was pretty much a Specials exclusive character

[pseudo goblet]

Nope

[fading stratus]

green is the female mc vro

[pseudo goblet]

At best theyve only done Anime-only character, no manga-only

[outer eagle]

technically leaf

[fading stratus]

she's green in adventures

[outer eagle]

which is weird because why tf is it red blue and leaf for the games

she's blue in specials

[pseudo goblet]

LeafGreen Ship

Wheres Fire for Red

[fading stratus]

leaf and green are 2 diff people

or well

we don't know if they're 2 diff people

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus @outer eagle

You know I never did realize both of them are LeafGreen until today, hmm

[fading stratus]

wdym

[pseudo goblet]

Its a fun feature where they interact voice line when a character theyve met is on the team

Leaf basically saying: Green, don’t try to hog all the spotlight yourself

Blue basically saying: Sorry Leaf, you won’t get a chance to be part of this

[outer eagle]

yeah i'm not exactly a japanese enthusiast but if my hearing is correct blue refers to her as leaf, while she refers to blue as green

[pseudo goblet]

Very bad translate btw

[pseudo goblet]

Was Sandy Shocks always this angy looking??

[fading stratus]

yes

he angy

[pseudo goblet]

Been a few days since I do outbreak hunt, really should do that for Comfey and Riolu since its ending soon

[outer eagle]

i would be angry too if i was born a sandy shock

[pseudo goblet]

… did not realize Comfey would be so difficult…

[fading stratus]

get comfey btw

we can use it in our terapagos team once we get restricted meta again

[pseudo goblet]

There's also a bug in frlg that all their ivs are shit.
Def, spdef, spatk and speed are all 0
Atk iv can be no greater than 7 and the HP is normal

[fading stratus]

hecker it

[flat wing]

I don't have the super deluxe game boy from uncle jimtendo

https://youtu.be/UUSbyrlRb4o?si=6lAiYmbtuqwyCilE

[fading stratus]

do you watch flygon

[flat wing]

Honestly, for the decent dogs I'd have to purify from colosseum and pray

[fading stratus]

just play lati then

calm mind sub with lefties recover

dragon claw is special

dragon has like ice weakness

you can play water type

[fading stratus]

so they just cover each other's weakness

[flat wing]

I mean, if I was taking it serious I'd just go with gross, lati and pert

[fading stratus]

nah flygon says "uncle jimtendo" every time he hacks mons in

so I was wondering

[flat wing]

Yeah I do watch flygon

Garchomp fj though, nah

[fading stratus]

garchomp fj sucks

don't tell him tho

[flat wing]

Next thing to do in emerald now is breed for an insane skarm

[fading stratus]

hmm

isn't shedinja actually hilarious

play it big tetris

[flat wing]

I'm unironically wanting sturdy over keen eye despite it not acting like a focus sash yet.
Because frontier will hit me with some bs ohko moves

[fading stratus]

I remember there being a torment protect skarm set

[flat wing]

I thought I was gonna lose just before silver print tower because a rhydon hit me with qc horn drill

[fading stratus]

do you breed skarm or steelix

both serve same purpose

protect torment resto chesto

[outer eagle]

what do you even do with Skarm here

hazards def aren't too useful against cpu

[flat wing]

Nah, skarm I just want it being nuisance via toxic stall

[fading stratus]

no you just stall the ai

[normal cave]

Skarm is friend

[fading stratus]

the idea iirc is stall the ai then setup sweep with lati

[flat wing]

Also skarm also being a phazer is nice too

Stellix can phaze too with roar

But skarm has less weaknesses

Also careful skarm with 252 spdef investment makes it more resilient

[outer eagle]

forretress

[fading stratus]

so you just play whirlwind resto chesto torment protect

[flat wing]

I have thought about the bagworm

Whirlwind, Spikes, toxic, drill peck I'm thinking

Stick on Lefties

[fading stratus]

you play lefties lati we discussed about that

[outer eagle]

surely if you lefties protect is needed

[flat wing]

I'm playing lati?

[flat wing]

Always an option too

I might just go bright powder

[fading stratus]

just play this vro stall the ai then sweep with lati

full proof plan

you can play second staller too\

like suicune

[outer eagle]

just get Suicune 4head

[flat wing]

Also, don't know what last move to give the sciz

[fading stratus]

close combat

[flat wing]

Swords, silver wind, steel wing and I dunno last

If his hidden power is rock or ground probably that

[fading stratus]

roxk is fine

[flat wing]

But, haven't checked what it is

[flat wing]

Probably my fave gen 2 mon

[outer eagle]

tf Scyther has Morning Sun from XD

[flat wing]

Use lati he says
It's good he says

[outer eagle]

sometimes that happens

[fading stratus]

that kinda feels unfair pooh

[flat wing]

Tbf, that crobat is absolute bullshit

[fading stratus]

might I even say unfair

[outer eagle]

well yeah that's the point of a lot of the frontier sets

lucksack cheese

you need to win 50 they need to win once

[flat wing]

Wee woo wee woo, fun police are on full authority at the Palace

I remember using claydol in palace, found out it really likes blowing itself up

[fading stratus]

do you like to blow up pooh

[flat wing]

only my dolls

[fading stratus]

how does ohko move work with sub btw

[flat wing]

Clay dols

[outer eagle]

ko the sub

sounds...kinky

[flat wing]

But yeah another reason I'd wanna use skarm. For any 2v2 stuff, I can eq spam with aero/flygon and not have to worry too

[fading stratus]

moltres is actually really funny

its not a steel type

but it gets will o and morning sun

[outer eagle]

will-o will miss 3 in a row

[fading stratus]

you can sub will o protect spam with molt

with lefties ofc

[outer eagle]

honestly at that point you can just do Hail Walrein stall

[fading stratus]

blizzard isn't 100% on gen 3

under hail

[outer eagle]

oh wait Ice Body is gen 4

[fading stratus]

I just thought you meant hail the move

then blizzard spam

but it doesn't work in gen 3

[outer eagle]

well if Ice Body existed then Hail would be acceptable too but it doesn't

[flat wing]

Also need to level horsea until it gets ddance to cross bread to lapras then to t-tar

https://youtu.be/TrWhMP2SUdY?si=GmWYX-euGzeHIW6k the collab we don’t deserve but need

[fading stratus]

@pseudo goblet

didja get your tera normal dnite

[pseudo goblet]

A wat

Gift?

[fading stratus]

tera raid

there's also goomy, larvitar, sligoo, bagon, beldum mass outbreak

getting shinies for these?

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right, I forgot about that part of the event

[spice rivet]

I am simply built different

[fading stratus]

name the bidoof pikachu btw

[fading stratus]

skibidi rizz icant

[pseudo goblet]

Definitely need them

I have a Dratini outbreak currently in my game

Ig I can spam avocado sandwiches now

[fading stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/toast-food-avocado-tomato-healthy-gif-4950365

zane's fav

[pseudo goblet]

Goomy cutest Pseudo, it shall not be challenged

I like the Larvitar line shinies, especially Pupitar

Bagon… feel bad being honest on this, its meh

Beldum I need as well, since I evolved mine into Metagross

[fading stratus]

hating on bagon

what a hater

[pseudo goblet]

Who says I am

Theres multiple pros, Green Shinies, also it being better shiny than Baxcalibur and Garchomp

Although I’d take Shiny Gible

Huh, if everything went well, I just need Frigibax, Dreepy and Deino

[fading stratus]

you don't nneed sliggoo?

[pseudo goblet]

I do, my statement with Goomy earlier means ‘NEEEED’

Well, I need Goodra and the two Hokkaidon cousins to be specific

So much for me wanting some rest from shiny hunting

@fading stratus tell me, this shiny look good or bad

Still odd how Magby’s is brown orange, while its evos are hot pink

[pseudo goblet]

Still waiting for the appropriate month for this song https://youtu.be/zR_Q3kF3A68?si=O9Z4b-52x3GGLmLR

[tacit sphinx]

Makes more sense when you remember they’re birds and chicks often have different down

[pseudo goblet]

True

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus see how many pokemon-abilities/related lyrics you can find in this

[fading stratus]

bad

[sharp kernel]

Beautiful

Bolt has no taste

[pseudo goblet]

Had a feeling you said that to just spite him lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Also yeah I did not expect myself to be fan of Magmar shiny, Magby is nice too

At least its not fucking Elekid shiny

[fading stratus]

the answer is too many to list btw

the puns

also I'm really tired rn to list em all

[pseudo goblet]

Understandable

Them putting Good as Gold as last feels like they did this in order

[outer eagle]

FRLG's level curve is steeper than i remember

[fading stratus]

its only between the erika and koga parts

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/bBkvaLBOSHw?si=xsGUnMNLp0ElNBG6

Jesus

well Ig its cool to know a way to tell each type of dragons now

[outer eagle]

honestly it's pretty steep for the first 2 gyms as well so far

[fading stratus]

well second gym is supposed to be after bill

so the lv isnt really curved

[outer eagle]

lv14 is the highest level for a first gym that i can think of, combine that with the lack of trainers to battle and it's pretty rough

and then Misty is lv21

7 levels difference is a lot

[fading stratus]

you have way too many trainers if you play the nugget bride before misty

[outer eagle]

i already grinded all the nugget bridge trainers and only 3 of my 6 mons are at 21

even after doing every trainer available i only got half my team to the cap

took another hour of grass grinding to do the rest

[fading stratus]

you need like 3 mons to beat misty anyway

[outer eagle]

yeah and i'd rather things be safe and easy

i only need to get unlucky once to lose the run after all

oh Surge's cap is 24, just in time for Makuhita to evolve

[fading stratus]

makuhita in frlg

sus

[outer eagle]

i always do randolocke

in vanilla frlg i will probably not even bother leveling more than 1 mon to cap

[fading stratus]

even if its a vanilla fire randomizer makuhita just wouldn't work

because fr doesnt let you evolve nat dex mons until you get nat dex

[outer eagle]

there's a setting for you to get natdex at start in the randomizer bro

[placid junco]

You ever think about how Spheal is kind of a pain in the ass to obtain in most games/is obtained so late on in most games it appears in your team is probably set in stone

[outer eagle]

i only ever used spheal in gen 3 so

[hasty anchor]

About the one time you can have a Spheal in a timely manner is Xtra Dimension

Maybe one of these days we'll have some region that's like

Really cold year round, and we'll have a good excuse to have Spheal be very common

We don't gotta cram every imaginable sort of climate into a region, as nice as that is!

[outer eagle]

they usually put the mons that don't make sense thematically in the safari zone

or at least they did back when dexit wasn't a thing

nowadays it's just another easy addition to later DLC

[tidal roost]

HGSS were the only games to get the safari zone right

[hasty anchor]

Ehhh, well, yeah

[tidal roost]

the only con was waiting

Or tricking the DS calendar

[hasty anchor]

It's a neat take on the concept, allowing you to swap out the various areas as you see fit

[outer eagle]

safari zone was in emerald and frlg at least

[hasty anchor]

My only gripe is really, catching things in one is very much trial and error, moreso than usual

[tidal roost]

especially shiny hunting

[hasty anchor]

Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire actually fixed a lot of issues... mostly making it a side area you can just go about your business normally catching things like normal

[tidal roost]

I’m looking at you shelgon

[outer eagle]

unova doesn't have "safari zone" per se but the white treehollow is where they put all the non-standard mons

so count that whatever you see

[tidal roost]

Oh yea the baby Pokemon

[hasty anchor]

Realistically, I wouldn't mind seeing it back, but it would definitely not have to be like, what we had before

[tidal roost]

another reason why I prefer white version

[hasty anchor]

Black City is just terrible

[tidal roost]

The chances of that are slim

[outer eagle]

there are a lot of things i like from both black and white versions realisticallly

[hasty anchor]

And I don't mean like, in a sense that there's not a lot to do

The people there are just awful

[outer eagle]

for example the pass powers from black are much better than white

[tidal roost]

I think black city had more battles

[outer eagle]

but treehollow is better overall

[tidal roost]

I may be wrong

[outer eagle]

i think the number is the same

[tidal roost]

wait we’re talking about BW 1 ?

Or 2

[hasty anchor]

The idea is it's a city that's ever changing, but really, most people there are insufferable

I don't remember 2's Black City all that well

[outer eagle]

black city doesn't change that much across the games tbf

[hasty anchor]

A lot of 2 is fuzzy memory

[tidal roost]

conspiracy theory that colress watched you battle in black city

[outer eagle]

2 adds in the benga quest

but otherwise is pretty much the same iirc for black city/white tree

[tidal roost]

what I dislike about the sequels is where they changed the location for the legendary stags

[outer eagle]

i prefer PWT anyways

[tidal roost]

like in 1 you had to venture out deep for them

[outer eagle]

at least there was lore justification for that ig

[tidal roost]

and 2 was gamefreak saying let’s just randomly put them on routes

the mini keldeo event was cool yea

the weather trio was gone to promote the 3ds app Dream radar

Or transfer them from bw1

[outer eagle]

in 1 it was stated that the swords of justice were hiding and avoiding humanity due to their disappointment if you interact with the dude in guidance chamber iirc

in 2 they actively seek out new trainers to battle along them to prevent Kyurem

[tidal roost]

ah

BW1 protagonist did impact a lot

I prefer hilbert and Hilda over Nate and Rosa

[outer eagle]

seeing N smile was a nice resolution to his quest

yeah i do prefer the bw1 protags in terms of plot relevance and proactiveness

[tidal roost]

It was kind of weird on how N was missing a lot in bw2 story

I would of loved N to conversate with colress

[outer eagle]

by the end of bw1 N stated that he wanted to travel the world to open his eyes

[tidal roost]

because both had the exact opposite of views

[outer eagle]

he only returned in bw2 when he heard news of Plasma returning iirc

[tidal roost]

and still waiting on hilbert and Hilda

literally atem vs yugi moment

[outer eagle]

the memory link events were pretty cool lore wise

unfortunately it's almost impossible to get those nowadays

having more context on why the striaton trio retired along side lenora and brycen was nice

[tidal roost]

supposedly this was supposed to be Hilbert and Hilda’s battle theme in PWT

https://youtu.be/uUY5KjHwczY?si=tgJU2su4uRrY3ChB

[sterile verge]

No?

[tidal roost]

GF will never cook that hard again

[sterile verge]

Its expensive, sure, but you do just need two seperate ds/3ds that each have a copy of the game and its sequel

[outer eagle]

[tidal roost]

I suggest getting the OG3ds

[outer eagle]

P2 Labratory was a nice change

[tidal roost]

Cheaper and still good

[sterile verge]

And realistically most people have a ds + 3ds anyway so its not that bad

[sterile verge]

This is objectively false

[outer eagle]

back in bw1 that section was empty and having the ability to rematch colress there in bw2 is great

[tidal roost]

yea I grinded exp

with colress

A lot of people would of preferred battle frontier than PWT

but I like PWT as a unique facility

[outer eagle]

changing the entralink so that you could do funfest missions even when offline was also huge in bw2

[tidal roost]

Yea there was a fun fest in NYC a week ago

[outer eagle]

battle frontier is more in-depth
pwt is more nostalgic

[tidal roost]

Discord community

[outer eagle]

problem with battle frontier is succumbing to cheese

[tidal roost]

I set my standards high because of emerald

lol

I spent hours crafting perfect move sets and natures

And have RNG still mess you up badly

[outer eagle]

for the battle tower specifically you at least still have the trains

it's the other side modes that aren't replacable

[tidal roost]

Don’t forget the grotto

I dread when I have to hunt for a shiny vulpix with drought

[outer eagle]

i never bothered grinding hidden grottos so can't give my experience

[tidal roost]

I hunted for a bit

only got a nidoran

with hidden ability

[outer eagle]

i also enjoyed all the post-game areas that are available
Platinum has Battle Island and that comes close

[tidal roost]

I consider platinum to be peak gen4

Although most say it’s HGSS

Plat had the superior exploring and perfect balance for exp grinding

[outer eagle]

hgss is peak gen 2

[tidal roost]

yup haha

[outer eagle]

the exp curve in hgss is painful

[tidal roost]

the WiFi events added extra toppings in platinum

Like the three regi

Birds

as well

[outer eagle]

yeah i typically don't play with events so can't say much about that

[tidal roost]

they have distribution carts now where you can transfer mystery gifts mons

So no more hassle trying to connect to an outdated WiFi network

When people at locals bring their ds I like to help them get event trigger items so they can get a chance to catch those mons

help the community enjoy older gens

[outer eagle]

i've done events on emulator once and never bothered again

[tidal roost]

actual hardware hits different lol

I played some romhacks on an emu

but official games are played on my DSI or SP

[outer eagle]

naturally when you invest in more effort you also feel more invested

[tidal roost]

Very true

I could play on the same save file for 20 years

My leafgreen copy was about to be 14 years

until moisture fucked it up lmao

I was shiny hunting a mantine

then poof

[outer eagle]

i do nuzlockes as my replay option so quality of life features and performance matter a lot for me when judging a game

[tidal roost]

emerald kaizo was the last one I played

I got to the 7th gym lol

then quit cause I was lazy

[outer eagle]

for a casual runthrough i can see myself playing emerald kaizo

after all i did do that for romhacked plat iirc

as a nuzlocke i don't enjoy reading spreadsheets and praying for the correct encounter

now speaking of nuzlockes

Current Fire Red Randolocke
A Delibird died early into the run right after Brock
Game immediately gave me Articuno as the buyable Magikarp
Now, after beating Misty
Went to Route 11, on 2F of the Gate Transition
NPC wants to trade his Wingull for my Articuno
Obviously says no
Articuno immediately dies on SS Anne
Trades an Articuno corspe for Wingull
Immediately has to sack the Wingull right after

[tidal roost]

Did delibird have any moves

or just present

[placid junco]

i think i just got called cringe on showdown unrated random battles for switching out my pokemon and not just staying in until my mon dies

[tidal roost]

I never did play delibird in Gen 3 since I never had fire red and it was a exclusive

[outer eagle]

it was a randolocke so movesets were randomized

delibird had gust

[tidal roost]

It sucks on how a lot of Gen 2 mons were stuck with 1 form until years later

gamefreak could have given Dunsparce,delibird stantler skarmory new evos in Gen 4

[outer eagle]

sudowoodo

[tidal roost]

[outer eagle]

skarm is at least still good

heracross evo would go hard

[tidal roost]

a lot of megas were terrible

garchomp

Steelix

heracross was borderline

[outer eagle]

mega steelix was ok
better than regular, but still nothing special

mega heracross was decent, but i much prefer regular heracross' playstyle

mega chomp is just sad indeed

[tidal roost]

I tried to make mega chomp work

just wastes a slot

Sand force is a good concept

It’s just mega chomp is slow as an anvil compared to other threats during that meta

but at the same time you don’t want that heavy anvil coming right towards you either

If you successfully set him up he becomes an apex predator

[kind vortex]

iirc there was a format where mega chomp was pretty good

sand force is w/e and you lose 10 base speed but gain 40 base spatk

so your fire blasts become that much stronger

could help it break past random shit like skarm easier

ofc you could also just use other mons to help with skarm instead

oh and celesteela

that's probably the bigger threat in gen 7 lol

[tidal roost]

Oh yea

Mixed lead for skarm or ferrothorn

Heatran as well

[pseudo goblet]

Riolu is somehow taking a while, even with boost

Found it

[fading stratus]

now get it another friend

[pseudo goblet]

Lucario? Sure

[pseudo goblet]

Got to 1300 on Kartana, just a bit before going over odds and more before calling quits

I think the odds is 1/1365

[fading stratus]

99% of shiny hunters quit just before they get the shiny

[pseudo goblet]

I just wanna get back into SOS chaining lol

[outer eagle]

the remaining 1% gets Shiny Male Combee

[fading stratus]

the most goated shiny

also ryu did you see we got a archetype called ryuge

[outer eagle]

no

[fading stratus]

its just longhorn but its tcg name is ryu-ge

[outer eagle]

so essentially dragon-kin

[fading stratus]

idk what ge is

[outer eagle]

me neither

[pseudo goblet]

That would be fine for shiny dex, I’d probably search for a Vespiquen outbreaks https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/massoutbreaks.shtml

SV was cruel taking away Cute Charm effect, Tho they re kind enough giving these bypass methods for rarer forms lol

[fading stratus]

how many shinies so far

[pseudo goblet]

Lets see, 270 in HOME rn, I think, and I got 3 Comfey and a Riolu rn in SV, been too long so assume 3DS got 16

[fading stratus]

still less than yozz

[pseudo goblet]

The Raid Host helped by 40 ish lmao

[fading stratus]

lmao

[pseudo goblet]

For some reason Salazzle is in Paldea but not Kitakami???

Even tho Salandit is in both???

[fading stratus]

Kitakami people only seen males ever

[pseudo goblet]

I am far from catching every outbreak in SV jesus

[fading stratus]

jesus won't catch em for you

you gotta do it yourself

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, I only need 55 huntable shiny to complete Kalos dex

GF, seeing you re doing gen 10, a worthy celebration, for the love of god just, make the game able to shiny hunt ALL 1200+/- pokemon

[spice rivet]

Just need a Shiny Alpha Piplup to finish off the Sinnoh starter trio

[fading stratus]

if only zane had as much drive and luck as you

[pseudo goblet]

Oi

[spice rivet]

Straight up if RNG manips didnt exist I wouldnt be doing this more likely than not

[pseudo goblet]

Also ayyy

[pseudo goblet]

Manip as in stuff like Sandwich and SOS or straight up messing with the games codes

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, the Torterras in Detective Pikachu are basically Dynamax

As in the movie btw

[vagrant steppe]

So the fun pack for this year possibly gave us Z-A's starters

https://preview.redd.it/1ny7e75axjkd1.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32ac9faf948f9464d8fa3ec16b3f7085a81d0763

The previous fun pack had the Legends starters on it

Can't believe we're gonna get a new incineroar form lmao

Oh god wait... Mega incin?

[fading stratus]

mega incin with intimidate again

based

[vagrant steppe]

It gets super intimidate

Drops all stats harshly

[fading stratus]

incin didnt win its fourth worlds

so its bad

we need to buff it

[vagrant steppe]

Super intimidate also burns because fuck it

[fading stratus]

super intimidate which reduces their atk and sp atk and burns them but its super burn which takes 25% of their hp every turn and halves atk and spa

[vagrant steppe]

It also hits speed too because why not

[fading stratus]

and your opponent get "frightened" status which makes your opponent only be able to hit 50% of the times

[spice rivet]

I think its just because all 3 of those starter lines had cards in that set. Torterra ex line, Incineroar ex line and a non-ex Feraligatr line.

Wouldn' read into it too much especially since "Season 2" of the SV TCG doesnt start until we get the Partners Pokemon lines

[fading stratus]

do we know anything about when za news

[pseudo goblet]

Hoping it’s release in 2026

[fading stratus]

2026 seems likely

[pseudo goblet]

Tired of seeing pokemon spawn in walls lmao

Btw @fading stratus new Toys R Us near my area and bought this, only lmao

[fading stratus]

stinkaton

[pseudo goblet]

Was gonna buy it off online with Tatsugiri, Toy R Us don’t have the sushi yet

[fading stratus]

has croc still not evolved yet

[pseudo goblet]

Haven’t catch up on anime for 2 months I think lol

[pseudo goblet]

Zygarde Rubik’s cube

Wait no I take back, Idk how to solve one

[fading stratus]

I like pondering my griseous orb

[pseudo goblet]

She is so small wtf

Girl is as big as my thumb

[fading stratus]

how much are each figures

[pseudo goblet]

30 rm

Tatsugiri trio wouldve worth more

[fading stratus]

well yeah

30*3 so 90

90 is more than 30

[pseudo goblet]

Store even has Armarouge and Ceruledge, get em later

[fading stratus]

oh 1 rm is about 31 npr

well 30 npr

so 30 rm would be around 900ish

I probably woulda gotten 1 or 2 if we had those

but we don't

[pseudo goblet]

I just realize these figure costed more than a pack of TCG pack

24-28 rm iirc

These two I think were the better cards from two packs of Temporal Force I got

Oh wait nvm, theres a Vikavolt reverse bahind Miraidon

[tidal roost]

Tomy figures have been for years

[pseudo goblet]

Wtf theres a Meltan card here, its still relevant and not forgotten? I like it but still

[spice rivet]

Thats one of the nice things about the TCG, since they need to fill out so many cards they bring back the most random things

Or hell, I remember when SwSh were coming out the TCG had a ton of cards for Pokemon NOT available in SwSh, even as Vs/Vmax. Hell some never got in

But thats all the more eveidence pointing to SwSh having really rough development

[tidal roost]

pack fresh

Going to gamble the costs to send it to PSA or Beckett

[pseudo goblet]

Kartana is now officially over odds

Thats it for today Ig

[fading stratus]

try until atleast 2500

[outer eagle]

Grinded Growlithe to lv31, used a Fire Stone on it and Arcanine died immediately after

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-no-no-bunny-bugs-gif-7909500831201365932

1500-1800

Got three Riolu tho, off to Dratini

[outer eagle]

min speed hydreigon

[flat wing]

Battle tower gold run came to an end

Double quick claw proc on a slowbro
Then it attract bad rng'd my quag to death

[fading stratus]

that's why you play female mons

[pseudo goblet]

Even better, Genderless

[flat wing]

SHE IS FEMALE

The slowbro was a bro

[outer eagle]

she do be female

[flat wing]

My quag is a very sassy girl

[outer eagle]

do you have Band?

[flat wing]

Focus? Not yet, quag was on lefties

[outer eagle]

no choice band

[flat wing]

Yeah that's on aero

[outer eagle]

personally when it comes to grinding battle tower i like to lead with a fast strong banded attacker

[flat wing]

I was leading aero, but bro got the qc proc. Twice.

[outer eagle]

realistically speaking you aint ko-ing slowbro with aero even with band

[flat wing]

That's also true

Bro do be bulky

Or was I leading scizor

It was a couple days ago, plus I'm exhausted after today so I can't remember rn

[fading stratus]

no way pooh you unironically thought focus band

[flat wing]

I thought ryu just auto assumed I already had choice

[outer eagle]

choice band does require trading in some bp iirc

[flat wing]

Yeah 48

[outer eagle]

so depending on the order you might not have it

[flat wing]

I think

Could be 64

[outer eagle]

oh yeah back then i was leading banded mence

been so long

[flat wing]

Yeah I'm gonna be giving emerald a break for a little while anyways before I lose what sanity I have left

[outer eagle]

[tidal roost]

good luck with battle palace lol

if you haven’t gotten gold yet

[mighty storm]

Actually this is probably nothing

As much as I would love Kalosian Incineroar that switches to a quadped

Fun packs seem to just feature 3 pokemon that are big in the set

though nothing set in stone, it could be the starters.

https://tenor.com/view/torracat-pokémon-torracat-revenge-pokémon-revenge-torracat-uses-revenge-gif-25780653

[spice rivet]

Ye, I agree its def that

[sharp kernel]

Sheesh, how many expedition packs did you buy?

[tidal roost]

2 booster one loose pack

Each booster was $380 so I took a risk

Seller at the booth had a sealed Ex Dragon frontier double pack for almost a grand since gold star Charizard is in that set

but the rates during EX advance era is abysmal

[sharp kernel]

Sheesh, you’re living my dream

I want to get a complete set of all reverses in TRR before the end of the year

[mighty storm]

was thinking about trading some of the older games (that I can't play, RIP my 3DS ) to get some spare cash

specifically HGSS (yes both), conquest, white version, ultra sun, and alpha sapphire at gamestop (I know bad place to trade in but it's more convenient) I was offered nearly 80 dollars for all 6.

[normal cave]

Absolute scam

Each one of those could probs sell for 80 on its own

Convenient it may be, but you are essentially paying a 67$ tax per game by selling them to gamestop. That's like a 400$ loss. Significant.

[mighty storm]

So I should definitely see if I can find a retro game store near me instead?

alright

[normal cave]

Game stores need to make a profit

So they will try to buy at a scam price

[mighty storm]

true

[normal cave]

Just keep that in mind. You will probably make more money off selling them on ebay, even if we include the cost of shipping it and everything.

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, please, just don't do any dealings with Gamestop

If you really need to sell them off, go looking to a local game store instead.

[mighty storm]

oh yeah maybe my LGS takes DS games (I wouldn't know cuz 95% of the time I'm there is spent playing Magic 😅 ) I should check
Edit: checked, they don't but they suggested another place that is nearby that specializes in retro games

[tidal roost]

They’re lowballling you big time

try doing private listings or eBay

retro stores do offer more but they go around for 60%

Agree with Purrely 100% the fees and shipping costs won’t bite in because you’re regaining that cost

[mighty storm]

Note I dont have the pokewalker, just game+manual in box.

[tidal roost]

Ah

When you mean box the case + cardboard box or case

[mighty storm]

Case

[tidal roost]

You’re still looking around $220

which I see them being sold for

[mighty storm]

when I look for a cash emote and the only cash named emote is two whiscashs

[tidal roost]

HGSS + white version with case and manual

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-whiscash-catfish-water-gif-13532774113755813510

[tidal roost]

you should be at $564

[mighty storm]

tbf if I get over 50 bucks off HGSS, I already am over how much I needed.

[tidal roost]

lol

conquest is at $100

!!!

weew

I forgot about that game

[mighty storm]

I may like gen 4, but HGSS was not my favorite gen 4 era games. I know mid take

[tidal roost]

best Gen 4 is platinum

[mighty storm]

facts

[tidal roost]

I grew up with GSC

and it’s my favorite Gen but it’s not the best

You had Pokémon battle revolution ,Ranger games and ranch

that were compattible with Gen 4

[latent sleet]

i started with gen 4 lol

good gen

[tidal roost]

I was the poor kid with a hand me down Gameboy while everyone had Ds at the time

leafgreen emerald and crystal version was all I played

[mighty storm]

My first proper pokemon game ever was diamond (Should've got Pearl for Palkia but the blue dinosaur blinded me)

[tidal roost]

TEAM DIALGA

same

[latent sleet]

midly hot take, its better than gen 5, i will refuse to elaborate on this statement

[tidal roost]

I still fight myself for that

if only gray version was a thing instead of Bw2 maybe

[mighty storm]

Rumble came out in gen 4 era right? I forgot

[tidal roost]

same story as BW1 with BW2 features its trifecta

yea

rumble blast was Gen 5

[mighty storm]

First Rumble was goated

[tidal roost]

But the first rumble was a Wii shop download

unfortunately

[latent sleet]

oh yeah i also played rumble

wild

[tidal roost]

I should mod my wii
