It's not gonna be too terribly great without its hidden ability, but there's always the chance of finding that event to change abilities
Do I really want to catch this? Pretty sure at this point I have to make it clear that I'm going to destroy Garchomp if I encounter it.
eccch, well I caved and caught it, cause I'm not gonna be keeping Combee around any longer.
STOP FORCING ME TO BATTLE YOU WITH YOUR DUMB RULES
uggggh
Aw man, and now the Elite Four is from Sinnoh. And I already defeated them all once so this wont earn me anything new
Might as well show another Garchomp getting wrecked.
Also, Charizard? Really? I mean, props for the sudden surprise, but it's not exactly iconic.
||In the name of someone very sore right now||
Also please don't make the same mistake I did and think Stellar Tera is just a bonus to all moves your mon uses for the first time. It's actually a whole different type
||I was gonna have Zacian just holler at Eternatus as usual until it actually got hit by Eternabeam||
||Zacian survived though, so that's fine||
Good win symph!

aye

ベンチにポケモンがいない時のピカチュウ

True. No crown, but lots of fancy moltres
And full art Sabrina is the best supporter to get full art rn
Sucks friends can't wonder pick this pack
meh
pulled an arcanine ex

And this
ngl the game honestly just feels very stingy
but like, not even before the next pack comes out and i already have almost everything i wanted
just need what
2 each of pika, zapdos, moltres, and 1 each of eggy and marowak
never pulled any 2 stars or rarer but hey, i already knew of my luck before playing
Oh this game is mega stingy
Boltund's ridiculous
It has Strong Jaw as an ability, but it's passive ties it all together.
It has Sheer Force. And pretty much all biting moves, with the exception of Psychic Fangs that it can learn has a secondary effect. So both are factored in. It's very high speed also ensures that aside from the fastest opponents, it will bite their ankles first.
Doooon't go chasing waterfalls~
Damn, nice. I don't have any passives aside from Reshi's unlocked.
Gorgeous graphics
Tight story
They played a very different swsh than I did I guess
?
Can't believe Pocket is just handing out my deck to everyone. Venesaur/Liligant were the only full deck I pulled. Now ladder for next vs event will be full of them playing Venesaur as well. 
Next closest is Mewtwo Gardevoir tho I need another Gardevoir for that.
Well it's the wrong venasaur isn't it?
https://www.twitch.tv/pokemontcg theres apparently a tcg regional in stuttgart at its in english
1 more round apparently than it goes day 2
Ye, the non-ex venu
Oddly really good
need to check if I have the wigglytuff for her
The issue is wigglytuff ex is like
1 energy cost too high for how I'd like the deck to be
only 1 wiggly ex, rip
but I got both promo jiggly already
also got the promo greninja, so I can run 1 of both arts
Need to check it out, sounds very good
After years of Research, I present to you, a giant compilation of all of my Fact videos, with a few new Facts in there, hope you enjoy!

Alright, so remind me: RPG Maker XP is the one that has the essentials package, right?
Cause I noticed its on sale for like 90% off and I figured, why not
-Wait, quick search says yes
man don't make me play the tcg
the red shard being in 2 places simultaneously one was a very fun obscure fact
Why can't Persian learn Pounce
What
It's the thing a cat does and it cant learn it, what
In chinese it's technically "bug pounce"
(though some non bug types do get it like tinkaton)
Oh yeah speaking of, tinkatink outbreak event has started
Ahh
Idk why but my favourite is always iron valiant
I think I'm just a sucker for robot swordsmen
iron valiant does fuck
2nd sleep frog found
Starting a new AS run to do some of the Goals in Home. Decided to trade myself some stuff from my old copy of X so I could have some interesting mons/pokemon I've never used in a playthrough
Wait, you can trade stuff over even if you haven't completed the main scenario?
that's always been the case, yeah
Oh, didn't know that
one reason trade level caps exist
like how they disobey you if they're too high level
I thought it was like FireRed/LeafGreen for awhile, what with you being unable to have mons not introduced in RBY until you help out Celio with stuff.
Which, yeah it made sense for stuff like things introduced in RSE, but come on, would it be entirely unreasonable to have things introduced in GSC?
but then oak couldn't lie to you about there being only 150 pokemon
Lmao. I just noticed it's base Venesaur.
The full art bamboozled me.
Only FRLG ever did the trade restriction which helps for replaying the old games
Even HGSS you could trade Nat dex mons prior to getting the Nat dex (Im guessing it was to easily accommodate the Gen 4 evos.)
They really did try their hardest to restrict you, though.
It's only the mons that evolve by knowing a certain move they permitted; everything else is not until you are well on your way to Kanto
Ya, but that also comes partially down to how bad Johtos species distribution is too.
Also that!
the best thing there is the greninja bcs it's actually a really good card and the art is an improvement over the current one
Is Gren good? I thought people called it bad. I wanted to build it as a side engine since extra 20 damage to snipe + Giovanni seemed cool but I didn't open a single one till today. 
he is really good with cuno yes
for speeding up the benching snipe
starmie is better but greninja is also super good
Nervously side-eyes Groudon
So yeah, instead of bringing Zacian along I figured I'd take Groudon instead.
Maybe one of these days I'll try to not bring one legend along for the ride, but this makes getting all those coupons easier
Yup
At least tink and tuff
Got Ton from raid host already, I am willing to get my own ton if Im lucky tho
bruh
bruh
Freezing is so infrequent that it really just becomes pretty insulting if it actually happens.
Can't gouging thaw itself by clicking a fire move?
not all fire moves self thaw 🙃
Yeah, I think only the ones that seemingly set yourself on fire do so
So, stuff like Flame Wheel, Flare Blitz, etc. will do so
Steven. Buddy. I've known you your whole life. What are you doing?
He's just the best there is.
...And yeah, Champions make weird choices sometimes. There's a few mons that'll always be there, but the rest are filler of a specific sort of type
yeah he just had a terra steel on almost all his mons
which, uh, my carry was galarian zapdos so
Galarian Zapdos used its ultimate technique to win: ||Leech seed+ salt cure + spam detect||
@golden lance 10 wins in a row and going, bullshit dragon mill is just unstoppable
...Y'know, I feel like Groudon could just press-slam the starmobile.
I don't think you can get the Starmobile even in Rogue
...But it would be cool. I guess something like, a Starmobile conversion kit would be a concept for a forme-changing item
doubt it, but you can get the starmobile signature moves
as an egg move for many starters
anyways, tomorrow I do another reshi run to get the last candy needed for a reshi egg.
finally logged back into PTCGO
temporal forces scovillain EX my beloved
I wonder how big was the influx of pocket players going to live searching for something more nuanced than different flavors or beatdown
Bug with Railcannon installed acquired
But do you have... Bug that is a rail cannon!?
Vikavolt?
Well, you got me there!
Turns out, a run featuring Team Star has Cassiopeia as their leader. ||Ok, it's Penny, but I got to consider spoilers even then!||
BEEG
(yes)
Pfft, well, thats quite an image
They gave Cassiopeia a Zamazenta what
-Oh right, this happened
Well, this is new.
...I threw food at a Decidueye and it ran away
Only thing I could catch was a Mamoswine, which I couldn't keep. Sigh.
Safari zone experience
arrrggghhh
Stop making me battle the Sinnoh Elite Four, I did it like twice now, I can't get any new rewards
At least I get to do this again
||THE CLASH OF THE TITANS||
rip
My friend- WHY IS IT THE FAREWELL EPISODE ART 

Back to back semi-hit and I can now play Magneton 
I just forgot to open pack from last night
Well, I was mulling over how to pull this off without Zacian, but I did it.
@normal cave @normal cave
Seems like they are based on thresher shark
Moneys on Bruial found his new favorite shark
I also now learn Slugttera Thresher’s name are literal lol
Scovillain EX has been treating me well at the bottom of the ladder
Even won the game where I prized 3 of my 4 copies

furret swims :O!
People can date sim Arven
maybe sneasler was bad after all
Wow kidda they should do something about that guy on the top left
I like cats, but this one looks like he'd put me in a chokehold instead letting him be pet


tbf they keep doing indirect nerf to incin every gen
last gen they made a buncha abilities immune to intimidate
this gen they made covert cloak and clear amulet
if those nerfs are enough is questionable but those are nerfs nonetheless
he's a wrestler kiddo...
also didn't they give him parting shot
yeah last gen
they gave him helping hand this gen too
even if helping hand is like the 8th best move incin wants to run its still funny
that's kinda cursed ngl
Theres more lol
go away
You looked up didn’t you
Serebii Update: Pokémon TCG Pocket had had its monthly refresh, adding Pikachu cosmetic items to the Premium Shop.
The Mewtwo promo is also now available through Premium Missions
Details @ https://t.co/NWlAdn57aQ
actually not

I'm not really interested on these stuff
what is it reference to? tekken?
Looong looooong nodl 
you fucking idiot
🖕 
lol
Seriously considering uninstalling because all this game is is a pack opening sim
I wanna wait for trading but that won't come until at least feb.
Who is That Pokemon Its Pikachu! Vine
look i didnt make this i just had the absolute need to upload it XD the guy that made it is called Sammy San Pedro Cruz follow him on vine (or whatever you do there)
anyway: i know i havent uploaded for 2 long didnt leave you guys just yet im currently working on a mep with some great editors it will be u...
same with pikachu and goldeen
well opening pack sounds fun

But yeah I only keep pocket around because every 12 hours or so I get to open a pack and get a little dopamine for no effort.
Do so and they review next pack has a ton of pokemon you like 
based foolish
These are just pictures from the official tcg for the most part, so I can just look at those
resist the call of the gacha
I sometimes fall down the gacha hole, but I always climb back out after a few months after spending nothing
Pokerogue is technically a gacha tho so that might change 
that's why I posted it 
Finally, another soul with this card
Cool, now we can share the pain then
the 2 vgc matches i tune into devolve into rng fest 
I'm glad joe lost tho
I hate Jumpluff with my being
its main move being 75% accurate is 
6
Icineroar Amogus the classic (power?) duo
classic unpower duo
I just watched it and it was lmao
knock off crit and snarl miss
game was over on t1
oh i wasn't referring to game 2 but i guess man was destined to lose that day
in game 1 he went for Draco Meteor into Tera-Water Ghold and missed
Dnite seems to be opting for Multiscale more often nowadays
early SV it was almost always Inner Focus iirc
every format except this one dnite ran inner focus
this format multiscale scale shot is very valueable
maybe rillaboom will finally win a tournament
it already did a few weeks ago didn't it
did it
SV ain’t perfect, at all, but the character are good
oh apparently it did
@spice rivet @mighty storm just realized there likely wont be a rerun of Delibird outbreak event 
I liked SV tbh
Aside from rendering and all that
Didn't like how I just couldn't do picnicks while I was playing the story bc of the shitty friendship system, but oh well
and that makes a playset for wigglytuff ex to
How come theres rainbow edge for Wigglytuff, that’s different from other 2 stars
Non CG full art maybe?
there is one for the legendary birbs to (rainbow full art)
Incineroar Amogus Gholdengo core mirror
Im happy to see this baby again from a month ago 
It's my fav core this format
Because it's such a good utility core
All 3 of the mons are busted

@mighty storm @normal cave YES!!!!!
Wrong pic hang on lol
Ughhhhhh thank god, was gonna come and say I can now play 2 Nidoking, figure I waste the wonder pick heart before it got maxed, I shouted when I did picked Pikachu 
Nice!
Now I just need Zapdos x2 and another pair of magnets
Tune in to catch Day 2 of all of the VG competition taking place at the 2025 Pokémon Stuttgart Regional Championships!Event Registration, Pairings, and Gener...
Finals spoilers ||Eden had the mandate of heaven on his side sheesh||
it's already over
the entire tournament itself has had players lose to rng a ton on stream
I just finished watching the vod
||Edens top 8 game was pain for his opponent||
Cant wait for us to revert back to the previous Reg. H Sneasler is no fun
Only missing starmie ex from this set I think.

STOP OFFERING ME THIS ITEM THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS RUN
I DO NOT NEED A KLEAVOR I NEED A SCIZOR
Man, I dread having to do this with Charcadet
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Jeez!
You have to wonder how much it sucks for Scyther when it evolves
I have stone axe on gogoat. I don't need or want kleavor.
Scizor's got a metal body, but said metal is more harmful to it, since it gets hot incredibly easily, and Scyther often do live in very warm places
Meanwhile, I can't imagine Kleavor being very good at hunting like Scyther is. It's powerful, but pursuit likely isn't something it does well, especially given the lack of proper wings.
Yeah I think I'll keep scyther unevolved this whole run. Rip my second steel type, man, I had scyther since level 30.
Even I have to admit Kleavor design is so weird
It admittedly looks more like Scyther than Scizor does
ayyyyy
Shiny mirror 
Pretty cool!
Ayyyy Hau
Man, who stole the color from the forest
tapu koko
At least it wasn't the sea this time
true
replaced scyther with roaring moon
gonna beat eternatus down the hard way
(gogoat has leech seed)
Oh yeah, if you need tips
||Reshiram can learn Noble Roar. Debuffing it's ATK and Sp.ATK is surprisingly helpful||
||It does feel like Eternatus should have more variance in what moves it does know||
||But I feel like monkeying around with its moves would lead to a lot more headaches. Fire Spin alone would be just evil, considering how it prevents switching out.||
||Eternatus isn't exactly known for its wide range of attacks it can use||
||Yeah true, at least for challenge/endless||
uhhhh isn't it early for this?
Nice find!
PLA flashbacks
hungry clicker even getting dubs in pokemon lmao

for some reason I want pizza now

Also, playing through AS, I have to avoid using DDance Larvitar to sweep everything lmao.
Me when assault vest
I remember the hassle that was breeding for DDance + Pursuit Ttar back in Gen 6
Side note, struggling with choosing my 6th for my AS team. So far I'm at:
Marshtomp
Manectric
Fletchinder
Amaura
Pupitar
And I'm about to fight Flannery.
very nice
God dammit
I forgot pokerogue trainer AI sometimes picks moves retroactively
Context
Trying to do a Mono Bug run

Best version of the meme I've seen
I don't get this meme
It looks goofy
The idea of a newborn baby, who is supposed to cry, understanding words and then going full stoic, is funny
I see
Komi apparently I think decided to read it after the meme
"It is illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, a famous manga artist who is best known for co-creating Fist of the North Star"

Eevee time
Well that was one of the hardest fights I've had because I misclicked a setup move over an attack move
shit she's back 
I feel like thats a line from Masters EX
I could be wrong and thats her character catchphrase from SV
hardest trainer in the game for me
And~ I now have 3 of them 😅
Leon awaits me at the end I see
and his unbeatable charizard?
I am rapidly approaching him with a stealth rock rock slide excadrill
And then Psyche, it's Mega Charizard X
I dunno if that's actually a thing that can happen in Rogue though
Guess I'm doing a Ground-type challenge run too
Could also do Gen III run.


This is probably the fairest run I have ever had to make it to round 190
No megas, no gmax, no box legendary, no insane carry
Well, it has chi-yu and in theory belly drum espeed linoone
Linoone has been clutching this run so hard
Oh wait I also have leech seed. Nvm.
oh hi wigglytuff ex
NEBBY 
Pew!
Youch
Well, that's a weird jellyfish
Apparently treecko just sorta floats in midair.
T Pose meme material
I probably ought to get around to naming starters
So Bruial for Snivy and Raz for Chikorita
Well, maybe not after server members. Maybe a few, if they're cool with it
I'm just very terrible with names, which is why even in mainline stuff I rarely bestow nicknames
where the haunter and onixes at?
Surely you wanna train a Sceptile and go ‘ZANE YOU LIL XXXX HIT THE DAMN LEAF STORM’ 
My side apparently 
do I go for the foreign staryu
Why Chinese 
I bet Octa was shocked to see 2 fire puppies in 1 pack
blingy
still need to get another rainvee
- Is that why Im dumb
- I mean, Science hasn’t find much water in outer space, just planets, and planets are land
And dude don't skip meals
Less skip more like delay
Although Im not sure for today, busy projects okay 
Case in point(I forgot theres ice lol)
Really, the one bit about Rogue I'm just not a fan of is just how difficult it can be to get candies
You get some from using mons for awhile, but it certainly takes time, even with ones that gain friendship very easily, like Zigzagoon or Wurmple. Catching stuff only gives 1 candy, or 2 if it's a boss mon, and you get a certain amout if you hatch stuff, even more if it's a shiny
Yet aside from shinies, you just can't get very much.
Wished it was like GO, in which catching evolution mons would give much more, which would take a little frustration out, since on average they are harder to capture.
I recently learned that friendship increases candy yield. So soothe bell, farming kos, and giving rare candies.
...Oh, that I didn't know. I figured the only real use for the Soothe Bell was to just jack up the damage of Return.
I thought so too
The only real problem there is, it's a very rare item, and to get a guaranteed soothe bell you have to duel the Breeder in an obviously rigged match
Yeah...
...Is there really any good reason it's a rigged matchup? Even the other one that throws you into a battle with no way to back out of it at least gives you the option of a much easier trainer battle.
As is, it just feels very spiteful, especially when they claim your "lack of friendship" is why you failed.
Roguelike tradition
The whole candy thing is especially hard on cost 4 starters. I really want to get the passives on stuff like Torchic, Sneasel and Sprigatito, but it's pretty hard to consistently get it.
Yeah...
As expected
It's funny how absurdly good Linoone is
Pickup's super great, but Linoone's one of the few mons to keep such an ability when it evolved from Zigzagoon. Meanwhile, Lilipup, Meowth and Munchlax lose it when they evolve
It's a shame Obstagoon doesn't get it... I think.
I wonder what a "Standard" Obstagoon would even look like. Would it just be like, Linoone but it's just standing upright with its arms all stretched out like its trying to keep someone from getting past it?
Also belly drum + extreme speed

Idk if I jinxed myself, or situation just cant be helped
Luckily I still have lunch if Dinner wasnt enough

YOOOOOOOOOO
I know right like... What in the actual hell
God, I'd love to see other famous manga artists take a crack at Pokemon cards
The dream would've been Akira Toriyama getting to draw Pokemon as a full circle moment for Pokemons inspiration from Dragon Quest.

Complete random side note about guest artists. If you guys remember when Smash 4 Characters got revealed they also got a poster alongside them often drawn by an artist outside of Nintendo/the characters original creator.
Ken Sugimori got to draw Greninja's Smash 4 poster, notably he included Princess Peach. Sugimori is a huge Princess Peach stan lol.

shofu, WDFA - POKEMON CYPHER 2024 ft. G.Yee, JWit...
Didn't you post this yesterday?
Considering I’m barely active in this channel, answer is no.
Oh nvm it was spat
Do the Wave is a silly attack name
Cinc has a history of silly attacks in the tcg
But it still can't compare to "Everyone Explode Now"
It had an attack where you ask your opponent permission to add cards from your discard to your hand
I actually had a deck built around it
The trick was to ask a bajillion times. Each time they said no they took damage. So you simply kept asking until they had to say yes. And then you won by milling them.
Ouch!
Yeah it hits like a truck for a 1 energy 1 prizer
Combine it with the floodgate garbodor and you have a nasty control/mill deck
So I'm guessing the idea is the whole deal of not giving the opponent a good choice
Yep
Hence you picking items that would hinder the opponent like Crushing Hammer, or dealing 80 damage
They take the damage a few times until they can't afford to
...This does sound like a neat card for Gym Leader Challenge.
A Colorless deck using this could work! Well, assuming you find it in time.
Ptcg had so much card draw/search that it was trivial to find
Esp in a deck so low on energy, you had plenty of room
Cinccino should be easy to find. It's an evolution card so you can use Evolution Incense to search it out, it's got 90 HP, so Nest Ball can work. There's plenty more.
All around good stuff
Only real strike against it is that this Cinccino exists
Which is very much helpful in terms of utility, which might be a better pick in some decks
Yeah this is better
Also aaaaaaa Cinccino is just 
Amazing plea cinc was not all that strong, since you generally wound up losing a bunch of them before you got your ball rolling.
Deck was slooooooooooow
It is a funny attack name
Like yeah, its a plea so amazing, refusing just deals major psychological damage to the enemy
One funny thing I liked to use Cinccino for in battling involved Follow Me
Cinccino's a quick chinchilla, with a base speed stat of 115 if memory serves
With Follow Me, it can allow most anything to move immediately after it
...And that's where Conkeldurr comes in. 140 base ATK, can learn Focus Punch and have many abilities that make it hit way harder than before.
||0 death eternatus fight lesgoooooo||
You'd have to be careful of any moves that attack first, though, and anything that could outrun Cinccino, but there's always a chance to just shake it up instead
Palafin ex drawn by Tetsuo Hara, Mangaka of Fist of the Northstar
for SV8a
I hope we get more secret arts drawn by super high profile mangakas like that
here is the og with him posing with it
This is so good...
You wa shock
That is very good art
Hara got that shit on, clean cut and nice suit
He looks like a yakuza character
Surge and getting soloed by dugtrio, name a more iconic duo
@hasty anchor she
@golden lance THEY ARE ADDING A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF DECKS YOU CAN BUY TO ADD MICROTRANSATIONS TO LIVE LATER IN THE FUTURE
WHAT THE FUCK
they got too greedy with all the new blood coming from pocket
Incredible
ok so i looked into the patch notes
apparently its just to stop the credit farming from buying the battle league decks over and over and just getting 5 billion dupes
and the lock resets every month
sucks but like, not really the end of the world
if it's like only 4 of each deck per month it sucks major ass
if it's 2 it's awful
2 zard 2 cla shadow per month is how many credits
its around 10k
Poliwrath by Junji Ito
Wym rip that's a good card
Value wise or comp 
@golden lance it's a lifetime limit of 4
not monthly limit
for every bundle
the only coin farm method now are celebration packs
Ayyy nice
Apparently they replaced Storm Throw with Darkest Lariat for Sneasel
...Which, I'm 100% alright with. Sneasel just doing a sick clothesline is way too cool
Ayyyy caught a Doduo with it's hidden ability
I think the game actually updated, due to this egg move being changed

oof
Oh, finally, Team Rocket is actually doing something
Was worried I'd never see them!
This snail is so snom core
Oh yeah, seems like the Soothe Bell is now a lower rarity now
Which is good, cause getting this out of, literally anything else was just bad.
I should not have won that battle lol.
Disrespected Giovanni with cat
Be our guest
Oh yeah, before I even got to face off against Giovanni, I ended up getting the Razor Claw right before the face-off
A whole lot of nothing ended up happening after making my way out of the GY, not even in battling ||Ivy|| did anything really happen.
Well, one more for the road. And this time, Wezl
I have not seen a single legend just yet, and I have the Master Ball. I'm going to be a mite upset if I cannot ever find something to use it with
Not that I even need it cause I maximized the stacks of Catching Charms I got
-Oh right, I did in fact catch the Polteageist. Certainly not gonna pass that up!
It was a phony though.
YOU
Oh, what, you're just gonna flex your shinies now? That won't save you!
Closest we’ll ever get to see Aggressive Symph 
Look I'll tollerate many events in this game. This isn't one of them
Anyways, I won and got my eggs. It was a terrible prize, but I'm just glad to finally win this obviously rigged matchup
I ended up getting a nice achievement out of it though. Though those don't do anything
Oh my goodness my opponent for the elite four is Sidney
I don't have to battle the Sinnoh Elite Four for the fourth time in a row
I have like, +6 to evasion for Starmie here.
This is why you use always-accurate moves, people.
||Ok, I just want to point out one stupid thing about Ivy's Metagross; It only seemingly knows Confusion. I'm the one getting confused as to why it has that move and decided to just keep using it against Starmie.||
||Also pictured: Starmie once again being a right pain in the arse by using both Minimize and Substitute to just be unhittable, thereby destroying Mega Rayquaza||
||This one's for you, Solar.||
Game seems to really favor giving dupes
Hell yeah another Venusaur infestation victim
Ayy


Adamant Chimchar in my Platinum locke 
gave up on the zard pack immediately got a btoise full art
the zard pack just hated me
Bruial gonna hate me for this, used about 57 hourglass to finally get a hit
Honorable mention Full art Diglett and Primape
Less honorable being normal Venusaur and Mewtwo 
Why would I hate you for making a decision for your own enjoyment?
If anything, I hate Dena for making pack odds so shitty.
We do a little felony
Yeah you know what, nevermind, I feel bad doing that
Not gonna do a robbery
I mean, it's Maushold, so it would be funny.
@normal cave ||The Battle has Consummated||
Weeeeeezl
Did it without a Legend!
And i got wayyyyy too much candy along the way, so I actually ended up getting the passives unlocked for Staryu and Sneasel
ayyyy espeon
Good job don
I am liking the latest update. Definitely does a lot of balance patching
Ayyy
The Soothe Bell really doesn't seem like so worthwhile a prize now that it's just merely "uncommon"
Alright starting a new daily run and-
Yuck
It's ok, I found a Memory Mushroom that can give it something else rather than... this
Hey, rest snore deals damage
Anyone wanna join the beetles
Victoly
man if only they had given orbeetle quiver dance
I think most insects that can fly in some manner should have it
Well most
Heracross apparently can, but it's no good at it.
You find the strangest tag teams while in Rogue.
Who would win, Life itself, or a family of four?
Loincloth and his charred undefeatezard 
Had to battle Giovanni in the Laboratory as part of an event.
Which means I'm gonna have to Battle Giovanni, in total, four times
You're gonna see me in like four waves, you will have to say more stuff to me, nimrod.

oh god help I tripped the protocol
Ok so this would have been a TPK due to me insisting to capture Miraidon. But I pulled it off.

LESGOOOOOOO
Huge catch
||also, population bomb plus king's rock and wide lens go pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew||

I got Charizard EX twice. On the same day. When I already had two Charizard EXes.
Trading cannot come any sooner.
I actually trash cards to get those silver black stuff from the special shop 

What stuff?
U can trash extra copys of Alt arts got cards to get a specific currency for the shop to unlock those black sleeves coins play mat and whatever
I don't trust this company makes trading good it's probably something like u can only trade the cards from the last set and only with them from thst set and only cards u have more than 2 copys of 
These
U only get them by trashing alt art cards u have more than 2 copys of or by spending 300 shop tickets to get a whole of 1 of them
And thus one Wezl has become unbreakable (Sorta)
Probably the only true way to make use of the popular trend of giving Weavile a Focus Sash
Wezl is Unbreakable 
Oh, cosmetics
Oh, finally, the Kalos Elite Four. Been meaning to try and find out what happened to them!
Also, what? What did I do. I didn't have to wreck Team Flare on the way here, Malva
A lot of the lines really are just taken from the games, for better or worse
So glad they kept the one Rocket Grunt.
You know the one.
Oh, yeah, one thing I did was fuse together a Hydreigon and Archaludon. I barely know a difference between the two stat-wise, but Hydreigon knows way more moves now.
Hydreigon is faster, archa is bulky
Oh yeah, btw, I got 2 cost reductions on Zapdos now
4 cost shiny carry 
Cool stuff
I stacked 3 soothe bells on it and the candies just farmed themselves
It actually worked
Soothe Bell is now great-tier so that's also a good thing
Yeah, easy to find so it makes candies way easier to farm
||All these runs now are getting consistent enough that I can make it to the end better than before. It's still a challenge, but it's one that's definitely more possible with some more knowledge and extra work.||
Congrats man 
One thing I migh have to try soon is a challenge run.
Also, I'm thinking of doing another max shiny endless run
I'm guessing Gen 1 run is a good a choice as any since I got plenty of stuff from Kanto to choose from.
Endless runs do get dull after too long tho...
...I don't envy the player attempting whatever that Johto Dragon Challenge is
Gen 9 is probs the easiest
Is that even possible?
Idts no, there is only one johto dragon, and it's kingdra
You can't have it as a starter
Kingdra only challenge is, like, doable, but how do you start if horsea is not a dragon?
Hmmm, on second thought, endless boring
I feel like there could be more fine-tuning for challenges to make them more lenient or strict
Like, options for you to use mons that evolve from stuff outside that generation (So, even if you're doing a Gen 1 challenge, you can use mons like Tangrowth, Annihilape or Politoed)
Apparently Bug Bite isn't a biting move
I just defeated this bug-type superfan, and they offered to teach it, but it turns out that no, it's not a biting move
fun fact, bug bite is the only bug type tough move
Nothing tougher than mosquito bites, they say
Was wondering when I'd finally find these doofuses
I find it surprising how downright polite Xerosic is.
||Mono fighting challenge done. Mega Ray was by far the biggest wall. No Guard Dual Chop Machamp was my answer, since it kept spamming fly and no guard lets you hit them in the air. Tough run for sure.||
Unemployed + war ptsd means I have all the time in the world for these 
Man, today's daily packs have been crazy. I opened an EX card for each one, but they were all cards I already had a playset of.
And of course, the two Charizard EXes.
xd

Yeah dena LOOOOVES giving dupes in this game
Hey, at least it's better than the same crappy commons everyday lol
I hope I get more EXes! 
Trade bait
NOT JUST THIS GAME
Damn
YOU AT LEAST GET TRADE BAIT WITH POCKET, IN MASTERS, DUPE 5 STARS GIVES YOU A 5-STAR UPGRADE TICKET, WHEN YOU NEED 20 FOR EACH UNIT
What good is trade bait if they are going to powercreep it into uselessness?
You can't trade the newest set
They managed to make trading useless before it even came out
I have a feeling pokemon will have to step in, or dena will fumble this game
Dena behavior, split the banner into multiple so that guarantees you need multiple pulls


Congrats and my condolences
Wheres the comment about somebody surprised to see two doggo
Oh its Summer

How the turn tabled
Apollo with the gift of prophecy XD
also electabuzz means I got the reward (already had the magmar) for a themed collection ❤️
Come on Kofu, do you really need to flex your shiny?
Right when we were talking about Dena Dupes too
Love how their art connects
I havent test this yet now that I have second Charizard, but what should I edit for this deck
Yes I don’t have Moltres…
Loving the progress making this binder 
Skipping the whole monologue about beauty? You shouldn't have!
Pretty sure Volcarona keep the Flame Body
dragon skitty
I know there's so much anger over Focus Blast being incredibly inaccurate, but realistically it's just been Hydro Pump I'm leery on
I don't know why, cause normally I love these kinds of moves, the ones that aren't too accurate, but ones that will just end a battle should it land right.
But I really can't bring myself to use Hydro Pump a lot of times
i just find it funny that it's randomly got 5 less accuracy than fire blast
thunder and blizzard sit at 70 but at least they get to 100 in specific weather
(hurricane too, but it's newer)
meanwhile hydro pump's at 80
(gunk shot's also at 80 fwiw)
then fire blast has 85...for reasons i guess
i'll never understand why they varied accuracy on these moves so much
iron tail: 75
cross chop: 80
stone edge: 80
focus blast: 70
meanwhile eq gets to have 100
high horsepower is 95 bc they wanted even more variance in doubles kek
I think it's really cause Fire Blast doesn't benefit from any sort of field effect that would increase the accuracy
neither does hydro pump
Thunder and Blizzard can always land a hit, whereas Fire Blast isn't so fortunate
But yeah, why do they not have the same accuracy, then?
and i already mentioned the accuracy boosting weather stuff
idfk lol
Ahh
Friggin' Slam has worse accuracy than most these moves
Why does it even exist?
could ask that question of a bunch of bad moves
why does submission exist?
(tbf this was a decent coverage move in like gen 1 but it sucks now)
It's unique, at least
About the one thing that could use it in a more recent game would be Obstagoon, if you're aiming for survivability
...But again, Close Combat is a thing and I believe it also learns that, so even using the Reckless Ability isn't gonna go too far
Also it has a very cool name. It's JP name is "Hell Wheel"
survivability
has recoil
I mean, it's very slight recoil damage, compared to your def and sp. def being reduced
...About all I can say about it.
obstagoon's problem isn't taking a -1 def when it uses cc for coverage
even if it's at net 0 it's still dying to mach punch
being reasonably bulky won't save you from a competent attacker hitting your 4x weakness
Ech, yeah, that's a strike against it
I'm just gonna say it: Close Combat really shouldn't exist as it is
tbf neither should superpower
Not saying it should be way less potent, but maybe just slightly less powerful than stuff like Superpower or the like would be alright
as long as contrary exists, moves like superpower shouldn't
-Also that
Contrary is very dumb and I'm just still glad there's only like 2 things that use them.
...Well, three, but you don't see anyone singing Spinda's praises
serperior, lurantis, malamar, spinda are the ones i can immediately think of
-Oh, jeez I forogt Lurantis
serperior obv doesn't get superpower, but....
Both of them use Leaf Storm, yep. At the least you're having to use Lurantis' less than stellar Sp. Atk, but that's still a pain train that'll get rolling real quick
oh right if you include legends, there's this one mon you might recognize named enamorus
so you even get contrary superpower on a mon with enamorus' statline
also lurantis has higher base spatk than serperior
it just has much, much worse speed
so it's only really viable in trick room
-Jeez, I keep forgetting the grass noodle is pretty underwhelming on the attack
you forget because even leaf storm base 75 at +2 hits like a fucking truck
Starter mons were something else. Nowadays you gotta really jack up the stats of most anything.
You can't make a crocodile on fire... and make it's Atk like, 65
tbf fire ghost attacker doesn't mind being a special attacker, not with skeledirge's signature move, nor with foul play still existing
It's more, you'd think a croc with a jaw that big would at the least have a higher ATK stat
ofc that does mean optimizing the atk iv to be 0
feraligatr and krookodile satisfy my desire for a big mouthed physical gator
i'm fine with skeledirge being a special attacker
Ehh, yeah. Just, I think the atk stat would be a little higher.
But it's fine
Guess who had to throw hands with a Victini with both V-Create and Searing Shot for this victory
doesn't fini just wall it
oh right, v-create mention reminds me
spinda at some point got assist
assist v-create on a contrary mon for your nightmares : ^)
It one-shotted Tapu Fini
I'm just glad Raichu was faster so it can land Nuzzle and make the battle more managable
(there was a random trainer fight in radical red that abused this concept and had a whole team of assist users and victini where the only copyable move was v-create)
Evidently, in some place, Assist actually got forbidden cause of something similar.
I dunno what the move was but I know the ruleset allowed for most everything
also the smeargle has other moves that can be copied i guess
but they're all uhhhh pretty busted moves
...I have a hard time believing someone who does picnicking would just have a Smeargle who was fortunate enough to witness Rayquaza using Dragon Ascent
i don't remember assist ever being forbidden, but i do remember a strat using it on liepard to copy dive
and it'd get prankster boosted so as to just use dive to cheese damage
But this is Rad Red, which I think was designed to make you slightly miserable in figuring out battle solutions, so it's fine
but assist was removed from the game in gen 8 so we don't have to worry about that anymore
Also I think this whole thing sorta falls apart from a single Taunt.
Smeargle can still attack, but... it's Smeargle, what's it gonna do with those noodle arms
more like sad red tbh
Found this artist who draws the cutest Ttar I've ever seen

Curse you for making me like the one pseudo I like the least
Cringe. Ttar is based. The superior Godzilla and one of the most based mons in comp history
Okay could be second least after Dragapult, Ttar do have a little nostalgia factor, and I love Shiny Pupitar
Connection to tokusatsu doesnt automatically make me like it, the irony ik 
Not to mention I have yet to watch a Godzilla movie in full
Its not like Im justifying myself 
...am I remembering that right?
Yes and Guilty lmao
just dealing with Masters EX Ultra hard challenges, definitely wont be getting the grant reward(a fucking title card that just blings...) in time, tho I can do more for the gems
the first of the seven battle took me 90 MINUTES just to beat...

Then again, the yt video guide chose to do it with Fantina of all people, trying to be easy for f2p and follow the quests
Unless you play randbats
tropius isn't an ideal mon by any means, but it's at least usable
i wouldn't be repulsed at the idea of using it during the early-mid game
That was my reaction too. Phenomenal design.
problem is you get it quite late in rse
Yeah by the time you get it, you've got 3 gyms left
Hoenn really does have all the cool stuff
And he's not good for Winona, Tate and Liza, and he's fine for Wallace/Juan
You got big rock with magnetic nose, bronto that loves fruit so much it grew it out of its chin and can fly, wind chime that has "tremendous" psychic powers, fiery chicken that knows Muay Thai, living fossil of a fish that hasn't changed cause it is apparenty a perfect lifeform, Spheal, dragon that finally grew wings cause it dreamed so much about flying, a boxing mushroom-man... and many more
Tropius is goated as a late game hm spammer
One Butterfree down!
The team medic 
@hasty anchor ||what does this mean owo||
||It's just endless mode, but I think most anything you can find out there is fused with something else||
||ah, I see.||
Reshi got a friend 
If you haven't tried out Sneasel out in Rogue yet, it's really good early game and even later on
Pickpocket isn't as reliable as Magician in getting items since it involves having to take a hit, but it can still steal stuff you could use, and most any physical move Sneasel learns involved contact, so Tough Claws makes most anything else very painful to get hit by
The only real challenge is finding a TM that gives an ice-type move
I'll give it a shot. Been spamming Zapdos because 4 cost shiny carry.
Fair! Legendary stuff as starters is still crazy
The only thing I have to unlock with zap is egg moves. I've spammed it so hard.
Well, not something I may use later but I'll take it
Hey, free luck boost
Also, if you get imposter on it, it's pretty decent with all those boosts going around
Doesn't sound so helpful for a bunch of waves to endure something, but I imagine sending it against something powerful and working off of that would help
Yeah
||Imagine curb-stomping Finn/Ivy by just copying their very own Rayquaza||
It's not a sweeper, but it's a nice backup
Exactly
Very nice
Photos cannot describe how good this plushie is its insane
Looks cuddly
He's really reflective
I traded a copy of Pokemon silver for all these
15 3/4 inches
Pretty cool magazines
...One thing I noticed was in spite of how you can find stuff that lets you use Mega Evolution, Dynamax (Albeit only on specific mons that have a Gigantamax forme), and Terastalization... there's nothing in the game yet that lets you use Z-Moves
Which, fair enough, I guess it must be very hard to code those in properly and maybe there was an attempt at one point, but it would be cool to see implemented
