Endeavor on Araquanid over Toxic

#

Seeing the custap berry

mighty storm
#

and based off datamines the set might be ||UB focused||

fading stratus
#

custap endeavor is fine yeah

warm sky
#

Nah first is the poison person

fading stratus
#

poison would be cool as like third gym

#

but first gym could also have beedrill ig

pseudo goblet
#

... how many years has it been since the last poison type gym in main games...

mighty storm
#

the specific thing hinting this is the case from said dataminers

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

gen 5 no?

#

yeah

mighty storm
#

||isultrabeast as code||

fading stratus
#

atticus is poison ig

pseudo goblet
#

so half of our lifetime ago

mighty storm
#

My prediction for the face of the miniset ||ultra necrozma||

warm sky
fading stratus
#

I think my first gym if I were a poison trainer woulda been
Varoom and Roselia

warm sky
#

I mean being level 12 is kinda limiting lmao

#

Now hmm

#

Tentacruel set is hard

pseudo goblet
#

Poipole gets peck???

warm sky
#

Like what is the 4th slot

#

I guess giga drain is fine

#

Toxic spikes is probably too much

fading stratus
#

or t spikes

#

yeah

pseudo goblet
#

... oh wait Clara

fading stratus
#

no items in gyms?

warm sky
#

And I doubt people are gonna set their own hazards

#

So no need for rapid spin

#

Also how many mons do you outspeed with Basculegion without scarf after sticky webs

fading stratus
#

do they also have lv caps

#

it outspeeds non speedboosting nature base 140s

#

if you're adamant

#

and outspeeds non speed bosting nature ninjask at jolly

#

assuming you can EV

warm sky
#

You can EV

fading stratus
#

I'm now realising I said ninjask when ninjask isnt afftected by webs

warm sky
#

Also realized

warm sky
ashen barn
#

Yes the 2 31 ivs were guaranteed

#

I couldn't have found a worse venusaur

#

But I also got Mewtwo in gen1 at the 5th gym soooo

warm sky
#

Wait update

#

@fading stratus apparently each e4 member is allowed one gimmico

#

Ghost has z crystals

ashen barn
#

Water has...well, almost everything works

fading stratus
#

mega

#

mega swampert

warm sky
#

Mega you could replace seismitoad with swampert yeah

fading stratus
#

honestly

#

gmax blastoise works too

ashen barn
#

Ok. Eevee replaces the dogwater venusaur

#

A vaporeon or jolteon is perfect

fading stratus
#

jolteon

ashen barn
#

I already have both tentacruel and magneton

fading stratus
#

YAMI

#

HEAR ME OUT

#

GMAX LAPRAS

warm sky
#

Dragon has mega zard

#

So I actually only have gigantimax

warm sky
ashen barn
#

Btw only in gen1 you can realistically justify 2 psychics, gengar, and 2 eq weaknesses

warm sky
#

I kinda wanna Blastoise tho

fading stratus
#

light clay gmax lapras just sets aurora veil

ashen barn
#

Right

warm sky
#

Okay but the gimmick is on your ace

ashen barn
#

Swampert then

fading stratus
#

he cant

ashen barn
#

Wait, gigantamax only?

fading stratus
#

dynamax basculegion

warm sky
fading stratus
#

gmax blastoise is good tho yeah

#

you shell smash then gmax

warm sky
#

Okay so replacing tentacruel with Blastoise

#

Rain Dish + Lefties then

ashen barn
#

Definitely

fading stratus
#

white herb is fine

#

if you shell smash

ashen barn
#

Gimme a flying

#

Magneton for nidoqueen

#

And next is bug

#

So basically 6 demolished bugs

warm sky
#

Only problem is that the ice coverage on gmax creates hail lmao

ashen barn
#

Quiver dance venomoth just got gifted a scarf

#

How to demolish a threat with the 2nd most busted mon in gen1

#

Mr mime

#

And I'm not joking

#

Mr. Mime in Kanto is a menace. Huge movepool, full of everything you want

#

Also, super speedy and gets coverage out of the ass

fading stratus
#

or hydro pump instead of water sprout idk but it is 140 bp over 150 of water sprout

warm sky
#

Hmm, lemme think about it

warm sky
#

Just the question of spout vs pump

fading stratus
#

leech life conflicts with custap

warm sky
#

And like, maybe replace focus blast because the fighting g max doesn't do shit except make you foul play weak ig lmao

fading stratus
#

idt not having a second rain setter would be that huge

#

since everything has a pivoting move

warm sky
#

Yeah

#

Fair

fading stratus
#

well not everything ig since we removed barraskewda but you get my point

#

you can always play raindance seismi with LO instead

#

but I thought AV was funny

normal cave
warm sky
#

Nah I see the idea

warm sky
#

And gmax was the only unclaimed gimmick left

#

And I fucking love Blastoise

normal cave
warm sky
#

#2 mon of all time

normal cave
#

Well, that works

fading stratus
#

blastoise doesnt get a flying move

#

which is sad

normal cave
#

I prefer g lapras but ok

fading stratus
#

lapras as ace?

normal cave
#

Aurora veil kinda broken

#

Oh it has to be the ace

#

Nvm

fading stratus
#

yes

normal cave
#

Blastoise is probs optimal then

fading stratus
#

also yami likes blastoise

#

so its win win

normal cave
#

Yucky that we can't use basc as our ace

warm sky
#

I mean tbf with flip turn and such

#

You can go flip into Blastoise as my level 55

#

And then like, use a level 53 Basculegion

normal cave
#

Why not use Hydro Cannon over Spout for cannonade

ashen barn
#

Would've preferred a 31 in speed

normal cave
#

Cannonade kinda guu tho

fading stratus
#

hydro cannon and water sprout both are 150

#

and I feel like water sprout would be better standalone move

#

with you know lefties

warm sky
#

Yeah what I was thinking tbh

fading stratus
#

you could very well go hydro cannon tho

#

its fine either way

#

as long as you have second water move

#

if you run only one water move defo sprout

ashen barn
#

I'd say cannon and surf/something else

#

Cannonade imo is too good to pass up

normal cave
fading stratus
#

you shell smash then gmax

normal cave
#

You're allowed to do that?

ashen barn
#

Ok. Blaine 7th gym

normal cave
#

The AI always insta Gmaxes

fading stratus
#

why wouldnt you be

ashen barn
#

PLEASE HOLD

fading stratus
#

well its not ai

ashen barn
#

Phew

#

Zapdos holds

normal cave
#

Hmm

#

Fair then

#

Spout better in that case

ashen barn
#

Rain dance wins immediately vs banded rapidash

normal cave
#

Nasty tech

ashen barn
#

And I don't need nidoqueen or zapdos for the fight

#

I just needed them to set up rain and rocks

#

Ok, arcanine only sees espeed on tentacruel

#

The 0 def IV avoiding overlaps with flare blitz

#

Fuck he has Ninetails

#

No bueno

#

Rip Gengar

#

Low roll into ohko fire blast

#

Still, 1 death to get past is clearly not bad

#

KEKW hi Kadabra

#

The better Gengar in gen1: Alakazam

#

Last gym is electric

#

Which is electric terrain combined with permarain

#

So...time for sunny day zapdos

#

Rain dance explosion electrode, ok

#

At least not permarain

#

Zapdos and queen dead

#

The 0 speed iv on Zapdos rears its head

#

Also just casually hitting 5 thunders in sun

#

Zap came back from the dead, revive encounter

sonic inlet
#

Mug stop monologuing Madge

mighty storm
#

Mimikyu ditto!

warm sky
normal cave
warm sky
#

decided for "fairness" that it's like 1 mon at 50, 2 at 52, 1 at 53 and my ace at 55

#

Pelipper is built for bulk so that she can set up rain more than once

warm sky
#

and since I got sticky web

#

I can go attack boosting natures

#

I doubt I'd need jolly swim swift + sticky web to outrun something

#

I just need to remember what the hell I named my pelipper back in ORAS and then name the other 2 lmao

#

also get pokémon home again

#

for my vgc stuff

ashen barn
#

So I decided to swap to gen5 because I got really tired of sucker punches and knock offs

#

And encounters that, without EV, simply mean "roll exactly Alakazam Gengar Mewtwo Mr Mime and a rock setter"

#

Gym 2. Dragon types with iron head and dragon rage.

warm sky
#

Soooo

#

I found out my copy of AS

#

is broken

#

I can still open bank and such

#

but not like

#

the game itself

ashen barn
#

What does it say?

warm sky
#

apparantly it's a common issue on PAL copies

#

of ORAS

ashen barn
#

Yes it is

warm sky
#

And the only fix I've seen for it is like

#

soldering

ashen barn
#

Want me to lend you mine?

#

I do actually own both OR and AS

warm sky
#

I mean I can still open bank

#

and get most of my mons

#

just not the mons in my party

ashen barn
#

And to avoid losing cartridges, I dumped the files

#

Because yes I did lose OR physical copy

warm sky
#

which ik Includes pelipper, latias and sceptile

ashen barn
#

So nothing of value has been lost

warm sky
#

smh sentimental value

#

I just can't remember who else I had on my in game team

ashen barn
#

Best I can do is go create a copy

warm sky
#

I'll just at some point legally make a copy of my games I suppose

ashen barn
#

You can copy save files with checkpoint on a modded 3ds

warm sky
#

So I heard

ashen barn
#

And that should be enough

warm sky
#

but I don't have an SD card reader

ashen barn
#

Ok that's beyond me

warm sky
#

I'll just require an SD card reader at some point

ashen barn
#

Yeah

#

At least it's something generally useful and not hyper specific, am I right, Y-head screwer?

warm sky
#

Thank GOD that I didn't have my shiny greninja in my team lmao

#

I remember someone traded it to me because it was a shiny 6 IV mon, but had a bad nature

#

ofc now that mints are a thing

warm sky
#

hmmmm, I need a seismitoad nickname

normal cave
#

Frogge

warm sky
#

I'm trying to be a little creative

#

minus blastoise, he will always be nicknamed Kamina

#

Araquanid is Belle, because Diving Bell
Pelipper is Maria, short for Mariamman, a Hindu weather goddess
Basculegion is Odysseus, because not only the water association with the whole Odyssey thing, but Basculegion needs 294 recoil damage to evolve, which in goroawase is 憎し nikushi - which means hatred, and Odysseus means to hate

normal cave
warm sky
#

tbf the idea is that either he sweeps as the Ace, or if I pivot into him via basc/pelipper I can shell smash sweep and then have basc in the back

normal cave
warm sky
#

also true

#

Honestly - Odysseus is like an insanely perfect nickname

#

but yeah need to think of a clever name for the toad ig lmao

normal cave
#

Palpatine because Palpitoad?

warm sky
#

Too common

#

I've seen it before

#

Quite a bit

ashen barn
#

Tfw chandelure dies against bouffalant

#

It was scarf willo

#

And flame body proc...upon death of one of the most objectively strong mons in Unova

#

Well at least this gives haxorus a dd sweep

#

But it's not the way I wanted this fight to go

#

Silver lining - all 8 gyms are done, and I have 5 mons going into the E4

#

Ok technically 6 but one is a panpour

#

Just realized I'm also underleveled

#

And with a final encounter in servine, not serperior, at the level cap

#

Way to go, Servine. Miss lesf storm into crit from Jellicent

#

Just natty zap cannon

#

I lost the chandelure counter

#

And chandelure from the opponent gets the burn into hyper beam crit from genesect

#

2nd death

#

And it's only the 1st E4

#

Ok 2 genesects on this one and I'm lucky flamethrower exists

#

And random tornadus chose violence

#

Aka full power hurricanes crit x6

#

I have no words. I wiped to a random trainer with 1 single mon that kept hitting and critting hurricanes

#

Attempt 7
1st gym: dragon
Scarf dragon rage at lv15.

last musk
#

Dittos dot eyes should be on the torso of mimikyu

warm sky
#

randbats moment

normal cave
warm sky
fading stratus
#

Team looks good yeah
Maybe if you like you can change pelli's roost to knock but everything else looks cool

#

Also surely you'd want min hp

#

If you're on endeavour

fading stratus
#

Oh yeah and you need gmax blastoise not regular

#

For cannonade

pseudo goblet
#

I love the Falinks train lol

fading stratus
#

P cool

#

Do they get the outfit in go or unite

frosty ledge
#

those are some dapper pikachus

pseudo goblet
#

Oh wait the Falink shields(?) Becomes the wheels, okay I love it even more lol

mighty storm
#

train falinks

fading stratus
#

Apparently electric seed ice rider can 1v1 zamazenta which is funny

pseudo goblet
#

Dont worry Im making Ducky buying this

fading stratus
#

Make ducky buy that car

pseudo goblet
#

If I doing that I rather make him buy the gundam ones lol

fading stratus
#

What's the tldr yozz

outer eagle
#

giving myself infinite heart scales cuz i cba to smash rocks for 2 hours cheems

fading stratus
#

chet

#

smh

normal cave
outer eagle
#

Had a Slowpoke up until Brawly, had Slowbronite in bag and buyable Water Stone at Slateport (randomizer changed Slowking's evo to Water Stone)
Essentially a choice between immediate boost with Slowking or hold out til way later for Slowbro and Mega-Slowbro past Norman
Took the safer route and evolved into Slowking

#

Best decision of the run fancy

ashen barn
#

Go go go

#

I usually don't do randomizers, I feel like spinning a wheel to win isn't exactly my style

#

Namely - last randomized nuzlocke featured Ghetsis with a Patrat instead of a hydreigon and a slaking instead of Cofagrigus

fading stratus
#

yeah same I dont wanna lose to counter icant

ashen barn
#

It's not even random counters

#

Since randomizers give mons their level up set

#

Sometimes you just get a ghost type and you win

#

Because most mons get a lot of normal type moves

outer eagle
#

smh imagine not randomizing movesets 334

fading stratus
#

I just dont like going blind into battles

#

realistically

outer eagle
#

also i always force trainers to have fully evolved mons starting at level 32

outer eagle
#

cuz that's when starters get fully evolved in vanilla

ashen barn
#

I usually do 36

#

Realistically, most mons have evolved by then

outer eagle
#

honestly for rando if you manage your resources well and has a balanced team it's pretty simple and relatively straightforward

#

most randolockes that make it to mid-game are lost cuz players start skipping encounters out of the way and not condensing their team

ashen barn
#

Yeah

#

I enjoy having a balanced, if stallier, team at all times

#

So randomizers are...really easy

#

Usually it's a fire water grass core

Or fighting flying rock

#

Usually with a dark and ground mon for latter

outer eagle
#

aside from hardcore ruleset i do typically restrict myself into decent-natured mons cuz of my ocd KEKW

#

you could give me adamant kyogre and i would hate using it

ashen barn
#

Same

outer eagle
#

not that it's an option nowadays cuz i just blanket ban all legendaries

ashen barn
#

But again, I usually get stupid stuff

#

Yes the 2 31 ivs were guaranteed

#

Which just makes for the most abysmal encounter in the attempted Kanto-style nuzlocke of ER

outer eagle
#

at the end of the day the biggest reason i do randolocke exclusively nowadays is cuz i don't want to counter-team the cpu KEKW

ashen barn
#

Meanwhile, I like outsmarting hard teams and challenges

#

For example, using the sticky barb item to defeat Maylene's Lucario

#

Or using skill swap to make a poison heal gliscor lose poison heal

#

Best one was trick metagross with skill swap too

#

Just completely special metagross

#

Trick choice specs on gliscor, then trick again onto the following Blissey

#

Skill swap was a contingency plan

#

Which I would have used on Blissey to get rid of natural cure

spice rivet
fading stratus
#

ah gotcha

#

btw yozz

spice rivet
#

Also got busy last night, havent RNGd the Girafarig yet.

fading stratus
#

apparently solgaleo gets final gambit

#

js

spice rivet
#

Will try to do it tn

fading stratus
#

also I never asked how did your locals go

spice rivet
#

3 players only, me and 2 of the other professors.

fading stratus
#

wait no it doesnt I'm looking at wrong mons

spice rivet
#

Ill send you there teamsheets later lol

fading stratus
#

aight

spice rivet
#

But most of their stuff wasnt EV trained 😂

fading stratus
#

as expected

spice rivet
#

Iron Hands with Ice Punch, Thunder Punch and Drain Punch + Protect

fading stratus
#

ice punch has been used in past

spice rivet
#

Kyogre with no Water Spout etc

fading stratus
#

just not thunder punch

#

was it electric seed hands

spice rivet
fading stratus
#

tell me its electric seed hands

fading stratus
spice rivet
fading stratus
#

anyway yozz dont mind my final gambit comment idk why when you open solgaleo page in smogon website it shows balanced hackmons

#

and not ubers

spice rivet
#

Lmaoooo

fading stratus
#

electric seed iron hands with body press is the goo

spice rivet
fading stratus
#

trust me

spice rivet
#

There was this I found though, though most of it is stuff we know

fading stratus
#

btw yozz did you see boyt's electric seed ice rider team

#

I thought that was really cool

fading stratus
#

but they shoulda said AV set too

#

with like knock off/snarl and close combat/flare blitz/wild charge

spice rivet
#

I hadnt had seen that set, but it does sound sick

#

Caly with E Seed

fading stratus
#

basically the idea is with electric seed and 150 def it can 1v1 any physical attacker

#

except maybe koraidon ig

pseudo goblet
#

Bolt, opinion, should I buy switch 2 even tho I really wanna wait out nintendo finally chill NotLikeThis

fading stratus
#

probably wait a bit yeah

pseudo goblet
#

Yozzoy indirectly made me second thought

fading stratus
#

idt you need to buy it immediately

spice rivet
pseudo goblet
#

but what if they make a dick move and giving out rare ass shiny lol

#

limited

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

what you need to do rn is not think about switch 2

pseudo goblet
#

kinda hard when nintendo made it into a war topic

#

also dw 2k+ rm and with problem is too much even for me, and that says a lot

I should be okay for the moment

fading stratus
#

what you need to think about rn is how to catch lunala

#

and nothing else

pseudo goblet
#

its sad that became the easier thing to do in comparison icant

#

also became aware I never truly boughtany consoles myself ConcernedFroge

My very Switch and PSP was given by my cousin
3DS from me mom
and partial ownership on Steam Deck from my sister

ashen barn
#

Meanwhile me with a half-broken laptop and old 3ds I bought with my own savings

#

Must be nice having a family that gifts you games and not...socks...

pseudo goblet
#

hey at least that last one did dug into my bank lol

ashen barn
#

Yeah, but you have a family that doesn't treat technology that isn't used for work as the Devil incarnate

#

Still this way, even now that I make my own money

#

Gets really tiring really quick

pseudo goblet
#

also I will say again, malaysia money doesnt worth much

ashen barn
#

Oh, you are Malaysian?

#

Wait isn't it like midnight where you are?

pseudo goblet
#

kinda my personality in discord

#

9 pm

ashen barn
#

Damn, right

#

Midnight is in China iirc

#

Well. Close to midnight anyway

#

Can't wait to move out
Also, my gf called dibs on a room dedicated to Pokémon merch and similar stuff

fading stratus
#

#

#

Damn, right

pseudo goblet
#

Heck my very pfp costed 80 rm

#

#

fading stratus
#

#

ashen barn
#

Basically 400€

#

FOR A PLUSHIE

pseudo goblet
ashen barn
#

I might even be better off learning how to sew

fading stratus
#

oh not koraidon

ashen barn
#

I already know how to do the rest

pseudo goblet
#

Koraidon basically same price as a nintendo game- pre 2

swift jasper
fading stratus

Somehow got him to balance on the tag

fading stratus
#

#

fading stratus
#

probably not in bo3 tho

I mean I guess pagos has good atk

I'm sorry that still looks like poopoo

okay the team is funny

#

vs 1000 rateds

#

dont ask me the choices

#

its awful

sonic inlet
#

Electric falls off for 1 format

last musk
#

Pikachu with no requirements and a 20 attack during set up is crazy

ashen barn
#

SD EQ crit into scald crit kill

#

I didn't need the crit but holy shit

#

23 def iv and a bold nature were all felt with this one

#

OK SINCE WHEN EMBOAR IS A BUG TYPE

normal cave
#

Since tera

ashen barn
#

Ok also amoonguss

#

Luckily ferrothorn is a disgusting mon

normal cave
#

Ferro mentioned

ashen barn
#

Archeops just randomly

#

And now garbodor

#

This bug team had 1 bug in scolipede

#

Thankfully excadrill and ferrothorn are disgusting

polar osprey
#

if the ubs are good

#

it's solgaleo but for any ub in your bench

ashen barn
#

Now at least I have, after slogging 5 gyms with it, a Volcarona

polar osprey
#

nvm

#

lusamine is BROKEENNNNNNNN

ashen barn
#

Psychic encounter iiiiiiiiiiiiis
Beheeyem

polar osprey
#

if the opponent has taken a point it attaches 2 energies from your discard pile to any ub

ashen barn
#

I mean, looks ok for now

#

Best part is that another run also had a shiny haxorus

polar osprey
#

so uh

ashen barn
#

LO Haxo
Lefties Ferro
Lefties Jelli
Sea incense Keldeo
Lefties exca
Boots volca

polar osprey
#

we have no reason to ever run communication anymore right?

#

even attacks for colorless

ashen barn
#

And yes leftovers is broken, most of the time it's better than many other items in a nuzlocke

polar osprey
#

wait no stage 1 nvm

#

he sucks

polar osprey
#

so essentially attacks for 50 for 1 electric energy when you go first

#

the ability does it automatically at the end of the turn

#

you don't have to give up attacking

#

just happens

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

#

Ig Pocket got mad electric decks fell off for a month

sonic inlet
#

Guzzlord is team rocket grunt on legs

normal cave
#

Guzz works in Pocket

#

Koko and Zera stand out the most to me

#

Lusamine is insane if any UB proves to be strong

#

Aside from Guzz, no UB stands out to me

#

Well, Guzz and Celesteela, but Celesteela is useless with no strong UB

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

#

Idk why most of them have such shitty attacks

#

Like

normal cave
#

Idk if Guzz is enough to make Celesteela good

#

Oh btw

sonic inlet
#

Pheromosa is so shit

normal cave
#

Kartana is a Farfetch'd reskin

well yeah but I'm genuinely trying to see what stretch of the imagination they're trying to get at muugu

like let's assume you open the god hand and actually manage to turbo the energy onto necrozma, what benefit does milling 5 even give you? by the time you can even reach that much energy it's pretty likely your opponent has already reached stage 2, especially with rare candy meta

tera fairy in Incin is a thing that I've been thinking a lot lately

and also isnt weak to lunala meteor beam after tera

I need to ban myself from hitting the reset button in my nuzlocke whenever I feel I’m being slighted by the game or put in some impossible scenario

~~or when a non stab neutral move one hit kills something||

#

Mariomon is a roller coaster of difficulty

#

I know realistically nobody cares if I cheat like this or not
But I know I’ll be on my own case about it, or at least guilting myself about it for no good reason

I’ve enjoyed the game just wish the difficulty was better tuned

pseudo goblet
placid junco
#

Yeah I agree with the Minecraft bit
But I am trying to stick to the nuzlocke and if I lose it and don’t reset I’ll do a casual playthrough

#

I’m literally locked into the ruleset until the run ends one way or snotjrr

#

pseudo goblet
#

Is mariomon difficult or just bad pace

ashen barn
#

It can be hard sometimes

#

Generally, I'd say harder than vanilla Pokémon but nowhere near romhacks or fan games

fading stratus
#

I think the harder part of the game is getting used to random monster

#

Like say if you see butterfree in a vanilla game/ROM hack you think it can sleep powder but what can Yoshi do who knows

ashen barn
#

Yeah, and lack of documentation online doesn't help

#

Still, I found physical tanks with immunities to be extra valuable

#

As I found water types to be few, but powerful

#

Early game grasses are insane, but fall off hard

fading stratus
#

Surely there's like a gyarados of the game

#

That can sweep half of late game

ashen barn
#

Blargg

#

Which was super nerfed but still insane and guaranteed

fading stratus
#

If it's 1 to 1 kantodex there probably is a guaranteed snorlax too

Overall, the game is really fun

slate marlin
#

So...

#

Dumb question.

#

Which Pokemon could Isekai a person?

#

I was thinking Palkia and Dialga.

ashen barn
#

Gardevoir

#

And gothitelle

slate marlin
#

Eh? I don't mean Isekai as an euphemism for kill

fading stratus
#

IDT gardevoir's dex entry is real

ashen barn
#

And beheyeem

fading stratus
#

its just a fanfic made by 10 y/o

slate marlin
#

Ohm

ashen barn
#

Beheyeem is stated to be an alien

#

Sooooo

#

Maybe?

#

Gothitelle instead sees the fate in the stars, meaning that TECHNICALLY she can isekai you

fading stratus
#

that probably is also a 10 y/o child's imagination

slate marlin
#

So I guess Palkia and Dialga are the likeliest bets?

#

Or Giratina too.

#

Maybe Arceus.

fading stratus
#

arceus canonically has isekai'd

#

the mcs of pla

slate marlin
#

Noted.

#

Say, could Jirachi Isekai someone if they wished for it?

#

Or is there a sort of rule to the wishes?

fading stratus
#

who knows

#

celebi can technically time travel too so that's technically isekai kinda clearly

slate marlin
#

Is itM

#

It's more like regression to me.

fading stratus
#

well its a different timeline

normal cave
#

Arceus

#

Hoopa

#

Arceus gets to do whatever Arceus wants

fading stratus

well that cant be a black hole

especially since its not even pulling the rotom just besides it

#

there's nothing to pull

pseudo goblet
#

Gardevoir, follower of Giratina clearly

fading stratus
#

gardevoir always remind me of that one kirlia comic

#

🤨

#

which one

fading stratus
#

the rare candy one

slate marlin
#

is that the one where... um... 2 kirlias?

warm sky
#

oh that one

slate marlin
#

and one of them turns into a gardevoir instead of a gallade like they expected?

warm sky
#

No

slate marlin
#

eh? Ah well.

warm sky
#

I haven't thought about that comic in years but tl;dr

#

This is about a Gardevoir in love with a Latios who likes younger girls, so she reverse rare candies herself into a Kirlia.

placid junco
#

They also gave one of the fastest catches water bubble as a special attacker in a game where most things are physically oriented

#

So far I’m enjoying mariomon aside from the random out of nowhere difficulty spikes

#

And I’m at least trying to not abuse the reset button too much

slate marlin
#

I see.

placid junco
#

(Said catch is banned to mariomon Ubers and you can get it with an old rod)

fading stratus
#

they really said "fuck it"

#

well that old rod comparison isnt fair

#

because gyarados is one of the best mons in the game and its available with old rod too

On the other hand it’s also technically an unloseable nuzlocke if you don’t mind using 6 shiny bullet bills

hell even in the west we've adopted the flower theming starting gen 7

also it's not just a flower theme, the entire family is all the same flower

with the exception of Rose being a Rose

Because the Peony and Rose are considered a duo
