yeah that would explain a lot
Uhh....seems kinda off-topic to the game lmao.
we don't even know the cards tri is getting do we?
also the dmaid skill seems ass
locking to dmaids just reads unplayable to me
So what fa you guys have too much copies of, scouting for future trading partner 👀
All of them but the 2 cyac ones
I have two extra Charizard EXes.
I definitely like to trade my Squirtle fa for Bulbasaur fa
And tecnically mercourier
And 1 extra Wigglytuff EX iirc.
But he doesnt count
if tri has no hits you just terrorize the game with tri ll no?
Lightning Lariat?
I'm expecting like, revolt to 1, shuraig/nervall to 3 or smth
LyriLusc
Still no idea lol
Man couldn't they give celebi just a another attack then a coin flipper
This is a yugioh server at the end of the day
[assembled nightningale]
Rank: 1
[ Winged Beast / Xyz / Effect ]
ATK 0 / DEF 0
2+ Level 1 monsters
Gains 200 ATK for each material attached to it. This card can attack directly. While this card has material, it can attack a number of times each Battle Phase, up to the number of materials attached to it. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; until the end of this turn, "Lyrilusc" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also you take no battle damage.
Yeah, the amount of coin flips you can easily get with that combo is ridiculous.
It's trash Design because it's either frustrating for the one receiving it or for the one who flips
Ah
I saw some guy use fossils to dump to quickly get to their Serperior lineup
Along with Chatot.
I've never felt more frustration.
Using Charizard in Rogue has made me realize how doofy-looking Charizard's Black/White sprite is
Seriously looks like its having some spinal-issues
@ foolish
Yo, 2/5 chance wonder pick for Marshmallow baby
@normal cave this card good right, thought yall might wanna get it
btw @pseudo goblet have you tried NOEX format in pocket?
Aint that just Dragonite deck?
Nah there are other decks in the format
like I've only ran into 1 dragonite on the random noex matches
ez
Girl thinks shes Goku Black
Alright can I say how cracked Calyrex is here
Practically any double battle is now just invalidated with the use of Astral Barrage (Assuming nothing you are going to wreck is immune to ghost-type attacks), and on top of that, every KO scored nets 1 bonus to Sp. Atk
And these bonuses are kept until you get into a situation where you have to recall Calyrex, so you can just keep destroying most any encounter until them
Also damn that's good sprite work
It is!
I really do like Calyrex. It helps that its characterized a lot more than most legends out there
Evidently it:
Was the king of Galar a looooong time ago
It is very kindhearted, healing both people, Pokémon and plants
Is very ruthless when it comes to combat, yet when the dust settles it will render aid to the injured, even to its opponents
Ended up earning the respect of one of two steeds, both of which have an incredibly violent temperment
So, both kind and iron-willed
Characterized pokemon my beloved
30hp and 24 sp def though
Also 31 speed
why does this mon exist
Clover
The 4chan romhack
With the godawful fire starter
They like their edgey shit
Ngl some designs are edgy because 4chan.
However there are some legit good designs too.
Though I do appreciate the game won't be everyone's cup of tea
Shiny tho 
I don't think that exactly excuses whatever this thing is
Yeah some of the shit in that game is genuinely not ok. Like this.
I've got rid of the image, I just wanted to show a shiny I found.
Its creepy, sure, that's all I thought about it but anyways 
that's when she reaches the final evo 
Ngl, I had a look at the shiny sprite for it and it's a really fun reference
Owo what this?
Fanbook?
I don't have a xitter so I can only see first image. But it's adorable!
Pheromosa tried to High Jump Kick my Meowscarada.
Keyword "tried" 
it's only the first image so far
but you know what?
have more noodles
why though
TONTARO
Olivia my beloved. Such an unintentionally goofy character.
A lot of Gym Leaders in Kalos are really good
It's just, XY being very light on plot, you don't exactly learn too much
Especially like Wulfric. Gym leader that chose his profession just cause he found battling to be fun, rather than a pursuit of improvement
yeah you should really be careful posting Clover designs here
There are no doubt some that are against the server rules considering its made by 4chan
custom shiny? 😮 looks cool
clover is an interesting game for a lack of better words
Speaking of fan games, I hope we get Eternal Light/Infernal Darkness soon
its got really well designed mons, including regional variants of the best pokemon ❤️
hm been a while since i played a pokemon fangame
Oh, the Unown isn't a shiny, it's actually under the effects of Terastalization
Yeah I don't think the big ol' hat is possible in a lot of these 2D titles, but they still shine
Terastalization really is hard to use properly in Rogue. It's mostly just another hurdle in battles against other trainers.
At least the shards are easy enough to find once you find a Tera Orb. I mostly just use them to patch up weaknesses
out of curiosity, if these 3 starters were presented to you. Which would you pick going off this only
Birb is funny, so that might be my pick
Honestly, I'd go with the grass one ❤️
water cow be my 2nd pick
the evos
(the birb starts off fire/flying also, like how rowlet starts grass/flying)
https://www.instagram.com/bayan_region/?hl=en more of the designs here, we haven't gotten a demo yet
fire cause it looks like it'd have the coolest final evo already
grass is peak furry bait
Grass feels like it's trying too hard tbh
I’m being put in a Soulsilver rom hack lmao
I’m a Teacher with Girafarig, Stantler, and Meganium
I might play that one!
...Assuming of course, it's possible. There's been a lot of strikedowns of ways to play games as of late
First decent pull from this pack
I got Volcarona again
ev training ghost happiny
run into full odds shiny evo of it
I didn't even catch chain for this, I'd imagine it would of broke because I wonder traded since
kills it anyway
I needed those 2 hp evs

I'm a little confused as to why Karate Chop has been removed since Sword/Shield
I always thought it was the most basic fighting-type move out there, much like how moves like Ember, Powder Snow, Thundershock or Fairy Wind exists
i assume because like brick break is just visually doing the same thing really
Ehhh, yeah fair enough
Weirdly enough so few things actually learn how to do a proper Karate Chop
It was just somthing you only ever saw Machop, Mankey and Sawk doing
Sawk learns it at level 25 WHAT
i know its not as basic of a move but essentially like if i were to think about what the moves be doing then its like karate chop is just being wet wipe version of brick break when there's that whole like thing of doing a karate chop on bricks anyway irl
How do you fail so much at Karate that an angry monkey can learn it sooner than you
Yeah, that's why Fighting type moves, to me, were super-effective against rock-types
Any sap can throw a punch. It takes discipline and training to shatter a rock with that same punch
so watching a random smogon vid but just learned... why is this stat distribution change like so doo doo for hitmonchan lol
Mostly due to Gen I stuff
There wasn't a seperate stat for Sp. Atk and Sp. Def, so Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan had an incredibly low Special stat at 35
yeah but that doesn't change that lee is just straight up both faster and harder hitting over def which i'd rather want on these guys
They were generous enough to give it much, much more Special Defense from the leap to GSC, to avoid it having an absolutely awful Sp. Def stat
-Oh, right
Yeah, I dunno either
i was more commenting on just chans stats being just... worse distributed than lee
Like, at the very least Hitmonchan has more Def, but that's really not a strong selling point for the both of them in the first place
like normally when they've done paired pokemon doing different things... they atleast did properly different things
Hitmonchan has a good bit more usable moves I think, but it's not like Hitmonlee was hurting for anything to smack stuff with in the first place.
One neat thing about the stats is that it's pretty appropriate for the martial arts that each specialize in
Pretty sure Boxing and Tae-Kwon-Do are very intensive, and practitioners need short breaks every now and then after a bout, which is why their HP is so low
yeah can comment on taekwondo, though stats seem odd to be fragile though
then again taekwondo specifics would need to be covered in the ability and this is a forgotten gen 1 mon
also like olympic vs original tournament style taekwondo is very different
Ah, didn't know that!
mostly because of how you win essentially changes how people approach it, olympic looks rather passive whilst like it used to be... really fucking aggressive
also when i say olympic this is also like most tournaments now as they also follow similar systems
Calling it now, Gen 10 will give us Male Nurse Joy
nurse boy
WHAT
PEAK
the madlads
wow 😮
Thats cute af 
When the Trap is Perish
👽
Oh did they get rid of fairy from the tcg

Man I hate Zapdos lmao
This guy gets 1 heads in 8 tosses
At least it was against a jigglypuff so I won
Speaking of, why tf do people like stall decks so much in pocket
It's either that or beatdown
At least beatdown isn't as much RNG
True. But if you don't like beatdown, your options are very limited. You have few stall decks and one turbo combo deck.
People like different things. Pocket barely has options.

I can't weigh in on this since I'm not well versed in comp
But modern Rapid Spin is awesome
It's a boosting move, an ok damage move, and utility all in one
Knock Off might be too easy to click
My take is that more moves should be utility
Like Knock Off had the tradeoff of low power for its extremely impactful effect
Except now it’s like oops lmao it’s strong
Rapid Spin is still not great purely as damage
It's good for boosting/utility, and its utility is severely hampered by Gholdengo existing
@normal cave what worse is that I mentally called it, and reaction goes like this


Happy ending that never happened in game
Sigh
Should of been grass dragon
like sceptile in Gen 3
but that would leave samurott with out a dual typing as well
Dragon was too strong a secondary type but yes, it should have been.
Sceptile was NOT grass dragon
Serperior are hoped to be next Starter with Regional form, so theres that
ik
but it was left out
compared to swamp and blaze
that way all gen 5 starter 'have' dual type in ways
Oh I get it now, Puppet mean, Like Sceptile, Snake is also left out of dual type from their group
Ohhh
Well septile sucks it doesn't deserve a secondary typing 
Fast and hit hard but frail
I beg to differ
Infernape's whole line is in the bottom 5-10 of pokemon 
Actually fucking garbage pokemon
sash nape in Gen 4 OU

I live under a rock so idk todays meta
but I can look at ushifuru
and say its stage 4 cancer
I’m a Edison format player but for Pokemon
Srsly tho what can I ask with these once trade goes online
Surely theres people with too many Mew and Celebi ex
Cute
Quite a neat situation Im in
Need them to switch in the Onion fairy- and they quit while Im typing
@golden lance whenever he opens a pack with 4 commons and an uncommon
@golden lance https://www.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/comments/1hhr0re/if_this_card_arrived_its_gonn_be_a_showdown_ig/
we are never getting anything complicated ever
people are complaining this is too much text and detracts from the art
RARE CANDY IS TOO MUCH TEXT FOR THEM
post the grown man meme
the replies bro i cant
"rare candy was made because main ptcg is already too complicated" POKEMON BREEDER WAS IN THE FIRST SET OF THE GAME
CHOCCY
LOOK AT THE POST HISTORY OF THE FIRST GUY COMPLAINING
He is subbed to grammarly
you can't make this up
First ranked game in a long time. Probably all bots. It was frustrating as shit, because every time I left a lane after causing havoc there, my team insta-died.
Zard and Sylv did p decently. Esp Sylv, unkillable little shit.
Oh hey, Cute Munna art, thats rare
Aren't a lot of these people dkayed andies or something
They literally play yugioh
What is so complicated about Rare Candy lol
All of that text is made for the actual game, where you, y'know, actually are holding the cards
rare candy isn't complicated, it's just stupid people being loud
It's not meaningless, they should know!
yeah brand new to the game i understood it quickly
holy I hate this game
first I get hit with moltress getting 3 heads twice and the dude getting zard by turn 3
then misty getting 5 heads turn 1 ftking me
then red card when I finally get my evo
this game is such a dogshit RNG mess
but this is what the players like apparently
I say that because today I saw a bunch of people complaining mewtwo was TOO CONSISTENT and that was bad for the game
I've been saying this since release 
Games RNG central and people like it
Ig that's why everyone thinks celebi is so good
btw
the chance of getting 3 heads in 4 coin tosses is 30%
celebi is literally mewtwo but with less HP, none of the consistency tools and 30% chance of doing as much damage when it gets to the same setup
But apparently mewtwo is powercrept by celebi
Pocket players cannot have good takes

Now to do at least one sandwich attempt at smeargle
Guess I'm doing a Gen I challenge this time
Just hoping I find enough Rare Candy so I can evolve both Pichu and Cleffa
Gl!
another full art marsh
Apparently Mean Look works here too. Huh.
I just did a one-hit KO against my own Charizard.
I don't know if this counts as "training"
It feels awful to play in PTCGP right now. I don't have either Mewtwo nor Celebi, so I just mostly lose.
I don't even have the new Rapidash and only one Ponyta, so no counter for Celebi... 
Alright, hit wave 100, here's an update
Ended up having to battle Wo-Chien and Chesnaught to get to wave 101
Finally to 5 wins. Only 20 to go for the next emblem. 
@normal cave @random stream
||Delta Stream can't protect you from PIKA-POWER||
And here is the final results
The game really didn't want me using anything at all concerning Dynamax, or Mega Evolution. I think I made the right call using the one sole Max Mushrooms I found with Machamp
@normal cave Alright so as it turns out, Christmas stuff is happening in Rogue.
And I end up getting all this upon completing a battle with Finn
Not at all, turtle friend easily withstood its attacks
Man, Pokémon speak in video games is something else
better than "giratina"
wait, giratina isnt shiny locked in BDSP 😮
Nice

Oshit you can use gmax and megas in the generation challenge?
Writing down ‘Catch Giratina in Moon Ball’ 
I think the only places you can get it in a Moon Ball are USUM, Dynamax Adventures (But all the Apriballs are so hard to get in SwSh) and BDSP ofc.
Yep, seems so! I wasn't so lucky and only ever found one set of mushrooms
Nope, you could get ONE, just ONE of each as a Preorder bonus. But since the item is coded into the game I traded from a bot and made the pokemon I got from them hold Moon Balls and stacked up 20 before I attempted the manip.
Retail exclusive pre order bonus to
Machamp is just a gigachad in a lot of cases, though. With or without Gigantamax, it's incredibly, given how you can have both Guts and Quick Feet as abilities
It was heinous.
Ech, yeah, I do wish those things aren't preorder stuff
Like, it's nothing too serious, but the psychic pain of knowing these are one-of-a-kind still is offputting
I probably prefer do it in DA eventually
Legendaries there are 100% catch rate right
Really do recommend Machamp for like, either Gen I challenges or Fighting type challenges
It's also a cinnamon roll
Yes, but if you dont take the mon after the raid your ball is effectively gone so its risky with the Apriballs. Again unless youre crazy like me and make a stock pile
In general its disgusting how much FOMO they put into BDSP
- Apriballs
- Platinum Outfits
- Event Mythicals besides Arceus
Wait, cant I reset and save the ball? Or Reset also removes the Routes
If you reset save the ball and the route
Preorder bonuses just are all kinds of bleh. Especially if it's a specific store.
But eventually you'll keep getting penalized for it
Well shit
I can tell you that I'm not gonna want something already if it takes having to negotiate with a Gamestop to do so.
Then when you run out of Dynite Ore you'll have to grind other routes to build back a reserve
Wait what kind of penalties
You get dinged Dynite Ore
I remember the ore being pretty difficult to build a good stockpile of
If you hit 0 they won't let you do DA, you'll have to do Crown Tundra dens to build up a reserve again
It def is
Especially Dynite Ore, cause so many nice items require it. Armorite Ore's use for move tutoring, which is fine, but you need a looooot of Dynite Ore to get stuff like the Ability Sticker
At least you can find it all in one spot more or less, but doing all those trips in the Max Lairs can all come down to good fortune.
For Pokemon Shield on the Nintendo Switch, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "What happens when you do not have enough Dynite Ore to pay penalty for quitting?".
Wait, that's a thing!?
Most games usually just tell you to come back after awhile, and throw a reminder to make sure your connectivity isn't messed up before trying again
well, guess Im fine with Luxury Ball Giratina
You can also do this manipo with nearly aNY WEBCAM TOO
This is the perfect starting point for someone who has access to a PC to do RNG manipulation on Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

So the barrier of entry is low
It still amazes me how these are possible.
Last I checked, chances are roughly around 1/8000 or so of finding a shiny in a given encounter.
Meaning that someone if they wanted something like, I don't know, a shiny Charmander would have to just constantly start a new game and listen to Professor Oak go on about the Wonderful World of Pokémon for 5 minutes or so and forget his grandson's name just so you can have a Charmander that's just a brighter shade of orange.
But then these get found out and it looks incredibly insane, but supposively works
Shiny hunters are a definite kind of dedicated, and that's cool
Mind numb 
You should join us 
Ehhhh, I'm not that patient unfortunately. Won't turn one down, but won't go through a lot of effort to make it happen
Also I'm shiny hunting in Rogue, since they actually do stuff
Also its a case of infinite monkey on infinite typewriters. With Pokemon being so HUGWE you have a ton of enthusiasts with lots of knowledge on the relevant subjects so naturally they will bend the games to their will.
Its the same reason Smash Bros has so much grass roots supports and mods like Project M/+ etc
Makes me wonder how much undiscovered stuff is in more recent games too
Like, battle situations, egg moves that have yet to be found out, stuff like that
Honestly, I actually assume not much
Since the tools for data mining are so efficient these days it takes days to get all the answers
Feels like Egg Moves as a whole are becoming more sparse, since the means to teach a lot of these are becoming more prevalent.
Used to blow my mind how Lucario can learn Blaze Kick, but now it's just kinda there.
Also boi you have no idea 
Watch from 5:00, His Shroomish journey is DEVILISH https://youtu.be/5OvKMyE35kE?si=rAtrEYcpTyYcha-U
Pokemon Sapphire is the game that changed my life. Not only was it my first Pokemon game, but it is still one of my favorite games of all-time. And what better way to show my love for Generation 3, than to hunt down a full team of Shiny Pokemon to play through the game with. It won't be easy, as the shiny odds are 1/8192, so buckle up everyon...
And I thought Shiny Catherine was incredible
Also I think on the backend things are more organized, its not the wild west like older gens where the games ran on bubble gum and duct tape
Ahhh yeah
Honestly, it good that moves have been cleaned up. There were so many weird event moves that were a pain to track down back in the day
Magma Storm Heatran being the #1 offender iirc
I know it's definitely not optimal
But I do miss when Lugia can just have Psycho Boost
Also happy that Raikou can just learn Aura Sphere now
It's more than a weird move to me; it's just living proof that some time in the past, this Lugia was XD001, but with a lot of dedication, the door to its heart was finally opened
Hell I remember when it got it as a Event move in late HGSS it actually changed its gameplan quite a bit
Atleast the Coliseum mons do get a ribbon for being purified
Oh yeah, the National Ribbon
Meaning Lugia becomes "Lugia the Triumphant"
Which is a very fitting title
...On the topic of Lugia. I'm still baffled as to why Aeroblast is just an "eh" move
Feels like Aeroblast would do something else if it's just more likely to nail a critical hit.
Meanwhile Sacred Fire has even Entei knowing how to use it, and it has a terrifying 50 percent chance of inflicting burn. So on top of the attack hurting so much, there's a real chance of burn unlike say, attacks like Flamethrower
for its time period aeroblast was prolly strong enough from the dev's perspective
back in gen 2 the best non-signature flying move was drill peck with its meagre 80 power and no secondary effect
fire already had fire blast back then
I think Fly had better power, but yeah, it was very stand-out given how painful it is
But this was a different time, in which moves only a single mon knew were often gimmicks (Sketch is a good example) or just oddities (Like say, Egg Bomb or DynamicPunch)
95 is the accuracy
Oh, that explains it
just checked and it was changed in gen 4
Ahhh ok
Sky Attack is the most powerful and does have a higher chance of nailing a critical hit too, but it's still a move you need to waste a turn to charge up with to fire it off. It also had pretty poor distribution naturally.
I remember it being a TM in RBY, with plenty things learning it, but only Moltres can learn it the normal way. So Aeroblast still wins out on that front given you can fire it off twice before Sky Attack can even be used.
yeah if we factor in attacking twice in the same amount of turns it takes for sky attack to hit, it's even worse than drill peck efficiency-wise
and it's not like you're invulnerable during the charging like fly either
Aeroblast might still be the best no-downside special flying move.
100 base power is nothing to scoff at
True! But it's not exactly impressive given Lugia's actual Special Attack stat is surprisingly low
It's just that it sucks on Lugia
Yeah this
Now I wonder if Raz would excessively play Legends Johto
After it happens
At the least it could do something very beneficial to what Lugia does best; being near-unbreakable on the defense
Relatively, anyways
Lugia is a defensive mon, and it can't use Aeroblast well
I always figured it could probably like, reduce the PP of the victim on the receiving end, or maybe it could deal supereffective damage to other flying-types. Stuff like that.
Flying and Psychic do feel like decent typing
tornadus be begging on its knees for a better flying move 
Give it Flying type Astral Barrage that gives it a Calm Mind boost after each use. Trust
bleakwind is nice but even that only has 80 acc
Lugia, not Torn to be clear
Ahh
It's like that one meme of the Undertaker, comparing Tornadus to Lugia
You know the one
Tornadus hasn't seen a real storm yet
GIF would be funnier if it was Arcanine instead of Eevee. It be windie
I like Leavanny alot it's my favorite Pokemon
Decided to reanimate Kyoufuu All Back by Yukopi but with Pokemon because I thought it'd be fun ヽ(´▽`)/
Yes the Natu is a reference to Reverend
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
if we really want to make a signature move that takes advantage of lugia's strengths, it needs to be like recover that also heals all status effects, then allowing you to choose to switch out
but thematically that is more suited to ho-oh given the lore 
Again, give Ho Oh Revival Blessing 
Really does feel like Ho-Oh should learn Revival Blessing
JINX
Sacred Fire is fine as-is though
@normal cave @mighty storm took me 43 hourglass to get a hit 💀
At least I do need a second Starmie
ooh, full art
Nice pull

Two of the best thing SV gave us
man mew is so amazing. I've seen some people splash it in decks that aren't even psychic because it fucks over mewtwo
that said obviously it still works best with gardevoir
classic marowak things
Too many double tails
Imma go test out Venusaur with Lilligent and Serperior
Because I dont have the onion 
Tbh lately I've tried it with promo mankey and primeape. While maybe not the best (easy to play around marshadow), 100 damage isn't something to take lightly
Idea is primeape as kamikaze, marshadow revenge kills whatever knocks out primeape, and maybe something like aerodactyl ex cleans up
The problem? Output is really low at times.
There we go, not my target, again, but hey, I now have female AND male Shiny Hippos
I now just need their babies lol
Just started this, Fingers crossed
smh not believing coin toss god is on their side
74th encounter on Xurkitree btw, still no blue wires
Yeah but even if you roll well, you need to wait for multiple turns to get serperior online
Meanwhile Pika can red card you while punching your face in
And Mewtwo can do what Celebi does but more consistent
Water outpaces you
And Blaine/Arcanine hit you for weakness
soon, trust
That's pretty much what trainer cards are
Man I love Blue and his signature ability: Do Nothing
My records has been like
Nihilego - 3rd encounter
Buzzwole - somewhere below 20th encounter
and Kartana - 1404th encounter
I fr kept the counter from Kartana up until earlier today

Wtf
How many weeks did kart take
one sec, I shouldve complained about it somewhere
Less than Crustle
Only took about 3 months for me to go into hell again huh lmao
lil baked potatoes
Also lets gooooo Xurkitree now past triple digits encounters
I have to watch the same cutscenes for hundreds of times, also I just realize, parts of these guys homeworld could be a Giant Xurkitree 
A pair of lomfs

Not giant, the one you encounter is just tiny
Oh no, I meant the path in the gif
oh you mean its small to normal, yeah
Yet Im stuck with the one I like lesser lol

part of me keeps saying Im too lazy to open my Utra Moon game for Celesteela and Pheromosa but like... doesn't seem like I have a choice if I want Shiny Poipoles
Young Zane already caught his normal one
125th encounter and batteries gone red, seems like a good spot to take break
nothing big, but I got a second slab in wonder picks
Need that new Rapidash for the full new Blaine deck. 😉
Old rapidash is p good
But new Rapidash's potential to do a ton of damage is pretty good too. And you sometimes won't see Ninetales in your hand, so you can put that extra energy into the new Rapidash. 👍
Yeah but new rapid does not attack for 1 energy
eh he's seeing pretty good play right now
Imo old rapidash is better than the new one
Since ninetales needs to eat an energy every turn
Blue's use is to turn a 1hko into a 2hko, by having your mon live on exactly 10 hp
The only case I can see that happening in is the mewtwo mirror
Maybe in pika vs 90 hp mons
Whiffed three different wonder picks, 2 Mew EX and a Celebi EX 💀
not just that but surviving a 3x heads celebi coinflip or a mew which is becoming increasingly more splashed
while it's only surviving for one turn, one turn is the difference between winning and losing certain situations
Surviving one turn is very good. But the question is how often it lets you do that
If it's good in multiple cases then yeah it's a fine card
Mew, Mewtwo, and Celebi do indeed be multiple different cases. So I can see it being worth in Mewtwo
But I don't know any other deck where it is worth.
might be specifically for m2 to answer mew, celebi and the mirror but I've seen it a bit in other decks https://www.reddit.com/r/PTCGP/s/3CqCIjD22P
that said I am not a misty player so I have zero clue what it's doing for 130/140 hp Pokemon lol
that thing ain't a cinnamon roll in gen 4 OU lel
literal demon
I mean if you aren't constantly firing off Dynamicpunch knowing well it'll never miss, what's the point, am I right?
1 Oak in the Misty list 
That can't be right
Ok I see why Gyara works. That shit eats Pikachu alive if it gets to 4 energy
that part I really don't get lol
there is literally no time I don't want to see oak
The only time I don't want Oak is when I godhand with Misty
And even then I want 2 Oaks in deck to deal with red card.
even with a godhand I'm not gonna say "oh actually I wouldn't like more options in my hand"
When I godhand the only other option I want is a second Misty in case I whiff the first one
And by then I'm playing Oak turn 3, and who has time to play Oak T3?
But yeah, it's a VEEEEEEERY specific case. 99.999% of the time I want to see Oak in my hand.
about 10 minutes in, shiny art puppy found
alright now to get another normal type
Harsh but accurate
Shiny Rayquaza using Dragon Ascent in Sword and Shield.
Notice something? https://t.co/yxp0dQCnkn
lmfao get de-shiny'd idiot
the horse
My 2nd Serperior, and it's a full art!
I can just save up pts for Celebi, and get the 2nd via Wonder Pick hopefully.

||Nervously Side-eyes the times I destroyed Mega Rayquaza in Rogue||
HALLELUJAH
I really hate how good mewtwo is in pocket
I wanna play celebi because it uses serperior but like
I just play against mewtwo decks and they have the same clock as you to get online but they will never lose once in that position
Always figured this game would re-introduce the Egyptian God Cards legendary cards from the GBC TCG game. Would be fitting!
Thinking Im making a second Fire Deck
I like my Charizard+Rapidash+Magmar deck
Lost but I see potential with Zard, Tres and Volcarona
The fact that I can choose who to hit with 80 damage seems promising
Calling this ‘The Flying Flames’
I'm not of a fan of how you can perma lose held items, makes it so you constantly have to look into sheets to scout for knock off
Other than that, great rom yea
You kinda have to look at sheets and calc anyways
Kinda but like
It's basically the competitive Singleplayer game
The game was specifically made with calcs and prep in mind
Just wish you could scout in game
Instad of having to look into excel
Just a nitpick tho
It's for sure not for everyone
It's likely
If you're HC Nuzlocking it
The hardest Pokemon game possibly ever
There are some elements of the game that I can call definitively bad though
2 specific examples
One of them is bugs
In Run and Bun double battles
If you use a spread move
The right side enemy Pokemon always takes reduced damage
Another more specific example is
There's a fight with a Bronzong holding an Iron Ball with the move Trick
You want it to use Trick to give you Iron Ball because it's an extremely important item
However
There is a 5% chance that the Bronzong could just use Explosion
And you lose the chance to get Iron Ball forever
Overall though?
It's very rewarding when you find the line that wins you a fight you thought you couldn't have
Actually i do have a complaint
Fuck the mt pyre archie fight
Fuck that delcatty in particular
Yeah if you dont have an exploding mon
3% to have your month-long run drastically reduce in win percentage
Tf
Nah was a different one I think, they were like random
bring back space dunk oreos also
those were the bomb
Yeah these looks lamer
These ❤️
What ball should I catch Shiny Arceus in?
Im thinking of going Moon Ballcause I still have a few, but Level Ball would look nice
If its me, I’d go Luxury Ball
Ya know, Gold shiny
You could also go Premier
Doing two blue Shiny hunt at the same time, Continuing Xurkitree and starting Girafarig, calling the giraffe Rudolph or Chopper in my mind even tho its not Reindeer lol
Im already regretting because of how hard it is to notice the change lmao
I guess the thing is I want it in an Apriball for the flex
We really need pokeball customization
Balls color and design I mean, not the thing with Gen 4
Bruh, why are these Giraf so hostile

Caught a blue shiny shedinja on my cress run and gave it a terra shard for the final boss.
Better pic
That fusion holy crap
where's the weird 
Do it, join me 
Ehh, well you aren't missing too much
If you haven't played either Sun/Moon or UltraSun/UltraMoon, then I'd say go for it if you want to, but if you have played Sun/Moon, then yeah, you aren't missing out too terribly by not having done so
You're not missing out on much. Mantine surf and ultra wormhole are fun, but there are fully fleshed-out games for surfing/skating and space exploration.
The most fun part about the games is when they pretend not to be a pokemon game
It probably says a bit when these were the worst-selling titles in the series. They're still fine, but it's really just like
So, like, just play a good pokemon game or a different game.
Like, it certainly isn't Black2/White2, or something like Emerald or Platinum
It's an upgrade in all aspects but plot.
||At least most everyone gets a happy ending! Well, if that's what you like, anyways.||
||Oh right, and there's more side story stuff, like Team Rocket rebranding itself and launching a takeover of the Aether Foundation. Man that was a weird side story.||
||At least you get to disrespect Ghestis Dennis again, so it isn't all that bad||
Anyways, yeah, it's a Director's Cut, but it's not weird if you haven't played it.
||I forgor about that part. It was nice, if only because it let me solo a game with Mega Mawile again
||
||And then you learn how messed up Mega Evolution actually is||
Actually, bit of a thing I actually theorized on Mega Evolution as an aside; you ever think the whole deal with the requirement of Mega Evolution being a strong bond with Pokémon is only partially true?
As in, that same bond is the only thing that's keeping a mega evolved mon from all those horrible things you keep hearing about in those 'dex entries, rather than the bond being the reason for it in the first place?
Actually, I think the anime does elaborate on that a little bit in some XY episodes
Pretty sure Korrina's Lucario, when it Mega Evolved, nearly killed Ash's Pikachu, all cause it's combat instincts were so overclocked from Mega Evolution
Yeah that one
How is it that I always appear when the xy anime is mentioned 
It is alluded to in Moon's entry:
It readies itself to face its enemies by focusing its mental energies. Its fighting style can be summed up in a single word: heartless.
Like, 3 out of 4 entries for Mega Lucario in Sun/Moon just sum up how violent it is
Yeah essentially the sheer jump in power that mega evolving gave lucario made it go berserk
And it nearly kills like everyone there lmao
About the only Mega Evolutions that aren't seemingly terrifying would be Mega Slowbro (The entries in Sun/Moon just make mention that Slowbro is a little more motivated than usual), and Heracross (About all it suffers is just incredible soreness, which is still massively better than your literal body melting from the strain of Mega Evolution)
Read Mega Pinsir
Oh yeah, Mega Pinsir is just happy as it can be
It's surprisingly wholesome in stark contrast to most others
About the only downside is that it's practically under a constant dopamine rush of sorts
And yeah, you can't mess up Ampharos
Maybe Amphy was born with it!
These questions do make me wonder how safe other such battle gimmicks are
Yeah megas got hella shafted flavor wise compared to others
Z-Moves don't seem toodangerous, but that still is a lot of dangerous power packed into a single attack. Seriously, some Z-Moves just look way too overkill for what you are doing that it makes Hyper Beam look safe in comparison
Dynamax has an obvious problem given what the Darkest Day and the threat of a second one showing, but it's seemingly only possible to undergo in certain areas
And there's really not a seeming downside to Terastalizaton that I can think of
And yeah, Z-Moves are overkill but most things are alright afterwards.
Light That Burns the Sky gets a pass, cause lets be honest, who is going to even be in that situation where they command Necrozma to do this in the first place
Aside the protagonist of course, but that's aside the point
I just wanna give necrozma a warm blanket and a nice lamp to munch on
It is an unfortunate... crystal creature-thing for sure
Taking a quick break from Giraf and back to Xmas lights
Reminder that mew does literally hollow purple

I do like how it's seemingly Mew's take on Mewtwo's Psystrike move
True
Found the Shiny Giraffe, thank god
Yeah, you were winning the race
They ko tres, you ko an ex, then you win. They had no wincon.
Even if they sabrina you win because you sac a 1 prizer
Once again, going second feels better
Ops wrong reply
Got Volcarona online and killed their Charmander with one energy received from their Moltres was big brain move lol 
Yeah pocket is very poorly balanced as a game
Poorly designed, Period
I don't bother playing. I just collect.
Open 2 packs a day and look at the cute pokemon
Now then, do I wanna hunt another Giraf to replace my Farig from raids, or call this off 
I swear to arceus, these things are out for my blood
They wont leave me even when Im invulnerable to encounters
The woo
Xurkitree No. 300
All done within 2 days, huh, I can probably do more before going dark, then do at least 50 encounters every weekday
Oh hey, look at that, Saw the FA holo effect and thought it was Serperior again, this is cute
Really tho, why I keep getting FAs…
The set has a ton of FAs

leaf and her 3 birds saying here's a third onion pixie for me
Name your price for the Onion
LETS GO!! Second Giraf I'd want, no sandwich and only took 2 picnic reset after I came back
https://fxtwitter.com/DTierTL/status/1870312492703920245?t=SWClRm8hUxV03bbTrkl6Fg&s=19
@pseudo goblet okay so this is a different pair because this is a shiny charcadet (and female isn't of male) and they're with Julian not Juliana
Do they just have multiple Armarouge x Ceruledge ships?
Oh yeah I saw
Also this group has a Ditto instead of eeveelutions and Chandelure
Hmmmm, both Giraf are Male... guess I try a few more resets for female, need to do Rayquaza soon
Huh, just realized Johto and Hisui Sneasles both have yellow feathers
I think the Eeveelutions one is different from the Chandelure one?
So I think there's 3 groups


Nova
Congrats
Guess i'm obligated to try getting a second one in wonder picks now
1500 player tournament not a single celebi in top 32
who would have thought having to gamble on your knockouts can backfire
one sandwich cetoddle lets goooo!
@pseudo goblet
saved the baby orca from the desert
alright now that is caught, need to find a new shiny ice to go for
No luck on snorunt hunt
golem performs well right now
golem in finals
golem won
What format
winners looser brackets i think
not a single celebi past top 64
it has faster set up tho but as said its dmg depends on coinflips
The only advantage that deck has is caterpie being a card.
and 50 head whiff and you loose
tho i think mostof the time people ramp up too much on the first celebi so if they need a 2nd the actually have no energy to deal dmg
tho arkanine was just sweeping it
akanine played mew in deck as a counter to charizard
and gyrados was stalling with greninja and the dragon pokemon that deasl 20 dmg if u attack it
so u get into k.o range
funny enough golem deck used it too
they basically just pinged charmander growlithe and mew once each switched to drudd so if they attack it they take 20 dmg and then every single mon they had where in golem range
Ooooh
I wasn't planning on posting today, but the Pokémon Infinite Fusion owner/dev just decided to use generative AI. To some people this blatant disregard for the wishes of the artists working for PIF might seem surprising, so I felt like I should clear some stuff up: they've always been like this (1/2)
Since I know there are folks here that play IF
All Immersive? 
nah second immersive
Baby~
if I ever get that second zapdos I have a pretty blingy Pikachu deck
oh right need to open a pack for afternoon
maybe I just throw a mew in there for now
Ahh
Ech, really? And after all that work by the artists, too
Golem Druddigon?!
Good ol' Rock. Nothing beats that.
Giovanni helps out a lot sometimes, even just one copy
Shitdickles!
from what i can tell they're only using it for dex entries, not for sprites or anything
they're not replacing anything that wasn't already algorithmically generated
But also they're effectively stealing art which is super scummy
what are they stealing?
if using an ai to write dex entries is stealing then wouldn't using all of those assets from the actual pokemon games be way more egregious stealing since they're directly copying something someone else made without permission?
if directly copying assets isn't stealing then i don't see how you could reasonably argue that making something that didn't already exist somehow is
The stealing thing is about the second part
Of the post
Not necessarily the ai generated Dex entries
oh okay
yeah looking at it that makes way more sense
i don't think theft is the right word to use for it but it is extremely rude of them to do that
Man that's ugly
Aaaa Chikorita
RNG manip, it was my second encounter lol.
Whats the odd 
Also, Meganium here reminded me of Aqua and now Im amazed by how fitting it is
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl received an update that added the Mythical Pokemon Arceus to the game. In order to encounter Arceus, you'll need to have completed Pokemon Legends Arceus.
This Arceus in NOT Shiny Locked for the first time in franchise history. This video will guide you using RNG Manipulation on this encounter to get ...
The 60$ is in reference to needing Legends Arceus btw
Havent watch yet so Im gonna ask whys that
You need a Legends Arceus save file that complete the main story and caught Arceus, then the Azure Flute becomes available in your house in BDSP
Ohhh right
Wow if thats not annoying idk what is
Then again, that word describes Sinnoh all too well
Afaik
Tbf, Legends Arceus is good so I mean hey
Also in Legends Arceus you can catch the Sinnoh Mythicals as long as you have any save data for SwSh or BDSP.
In BDSP if you Lets Go save data you can get Mew and if you have SwSh you get Jirachi.
Not really in best shape to buy BDSP yet 
But again none of them have to be beaten or anything.
Btw, BD or SP?
Tbf I never bought BDSP, im borrowing it from a friend lol
Rn Im eyeing on a cheap copy of SP
Literally whatever is cheapest
Are they shiny locked
Yes, iirc theyre the only Shiny locked things in BDSP
Damn
Welp, nearly 350 different shinies before the year end plus I was a wee late to the party, safe to say I need 2-3 more years to worry about those
While that settled, ayyyy new cards for me
hopefully melmetal sees more use in the future, it seems fun
Kinda off topic but Im still waiting for GO anni event, I need that Shiny Melmetal lol
Sucks that apparently ones from GO cant Gmax but whatever
Even with Max Soup
Why does this look like a medieval depiction of hell?
I knew it
Exeggutor was Dis all along
Exeggutor, the Guard dog of Hells gate
Funny we never really gotten a Cerberus pokemon, in the franchise with multiple 3 headed mon, on top of being in the franchise themed around monsters
Pretty sure Houndoom does fine as-is for a stand-in
Even makes mention that people in the past mistook its howls as Death's own voice, where in reality it's just a fire-breathing canine with a mean streak.
Holy shit that is one stretchy steak
It took me a second and an
emoji to make me get why the bird gay 
Please tell me Rogue gave it Revival Blessing

Bro it literally learned Revival Blessing in the picture
It gets it as an egg move
Oh I didnt zoom in 

A truly toxic list...I'm enjoying this one
Mew stops Charizard and celebi ex alike.
Although this deck can onetap celebi
Yeah! Scollipede!
Best part about this is that mew isn't mandatory, but you have a rough ride into Charizard that way
Mew just threatens celebi and Charizard with a knockout on arrival, which tauros can't do

I participated in PM7's 24 hour Shiny Pokemon Event where we tried to beat the World Record for the most shinies caught in 24 hours! Here are all FIFTY of my shiny encounters from the event! I hope you enjoy this slightly unconventional compilation of sorts!
Also here are all the people chatting with me throughout the event (and throughout this...
New video to watch while hunting and I saw Goomy 
yeah kicklee puts all growlithe charizard attackers into golem dmg range since they are busy spamming firedance with moltress for 2-3 turns same reason the play drudd as a wall to dmg yourself there where gyarados decks that played druddwall with grenninja so all they had to do was funnel their energy to gyarados while all the other mons bring them into k.o rang
Celebi is a fraudulent deck tho
charizard usually wins most matchups when its has 5 enegery because only really charizard can k.o it in a single hit so charizard takes a guaranteed 2 knockouts on average
https://youtu.be/fokk0u5Yr5Y?feature=shared best battle in all of pokemon anime
Ash has finally located the Gym, suspended above a pool of molten lava! Only a strong Fire-type Pokémon could help him in this battle for the Volcano Badge, so Ash must rely on his misbehaving Charizard.

Well, got Mankey and Machoke from my packs

Didn't even bother to check the other offers. Unlocking contrary on serp is amazing
eh
WELCOME TO MY HELL
NICE
blingy
Im just never get Immersive or gold cards

Also nice 
I saw 
Hard skip month for me tbh

I want mela but also not enough to pull her
I want the Team Stars members man 
Kinda disappointed they didnt do the shiny Guzzlord instead
People do compare the Shiny to White Holes
I decided to upload this because no one else has uploaded this with the Team Rocket's theme song playing in the background.

No Necrozma gacha today either 
@normal cave so uh
Did you hear the news that Mewtwo ex and Gyarados ex are the top 2 decks now?
The deck is specifically greninja + drudigon + Gyarados ex with water energy it seems
Cool
I'm going to make someone ragequit
The idea is 0 retreat cost, misty doesn't even need to hit anything to work, 50 behind druddigon and 90 front
you get fried by Pikachu tho
Btw yes
Flute is there to kill something again behind enemy lines
Red card is something I'm not sure about, but damn does it work sometimes
@normal cave oh oh also
There's a really funny deck in golem which the entire thing is using drudigon and golem to be so physically tanky the opponent cannot kill you before you kill them
Maybe Giovanni instead of Red Card
That could be an idea to crack 100s
Ye
You mean this?
Or the Charmanders in the bench with Butterfly fish
Yes that one
Yeah, if I get another golem, I'll play it
I don't think you can, do you
Current meta is Mewtwo ex and Gyarados ex it seems
Yeah via mythic slab and the mew
And then you see celebi and weezing scolipede
But right now a lot is viable
I'm using a raichu Pikachu deck which does do a lot
About what, Giovanni boosting damage to benches? Not 100% sure actually
I'm going to try golem.dek cause I get to play marshadow
And I don't have any Gyarados ex
Same, I don't think it does
😔
But Charmander are 60 hp
And lumi is 50
Mind I copy your deck?
Wheezing scollipede I also want to play
Feel free
Cough Giovanni
Well shit
Yeah, unfortunate
