Pokemon

[sonic inlet]

I assume this is dark

Oh wait, accuracy

This sucks on absol, then

[ashen barn]

This was agony

Where

[sonic inlet]

Uh

Near the mine

[fading stratus]

Where can you get electrizer and magmarizer btw

[ashen barn]

The side quest I did

[fading stratus]

In pirate island?

[ashen barn]

You pick up the quest at base camp 4th stratum

[fading stratus]

I'm not in base camp yet I just finished the octopus head wood horny people quest now I'm back in fourth strata

Will play tomorrow probs

[normal cave]

Why does it got the eyes

[sonic inlet]

It's suffering from too much edge

[fading stratus]

Ceaseless Edge if you will

[ashen barn]

Fafnir Knight

[sonic inlet]

Goofy ass hair

[ashen barn]

20% boost to electric and dragon
STAB boost on top of STAB

[sonic inlet]

Meanwhile I might play absol

He's got good speed finally

[ashen barn]

I'm going to train a couple dudes

Just to see evo and maybe decide to swap them in

[sonic inlet]

Bruh

This thing keeps getting edgier

[normal cave]

Holy shit ugly

[ashen barn]

Fun fact
It's referencing the Harbinger foe

[sonic inlet]

Is it this edgy

[ashen barn]

Sorry, not foe

Clqss

[sonic inlet]

Immediately thought of A buh A quh

Well, the design is cool

And there are foe classes?

[ashen barn]

Nope

[sonic inlet]

Nvm, you corrected yourself

[ashen barn]

This training is really fasr

Fast

Spam A because it's gaining way too many levels way too fast

[sonic inlet]

How do you trigger the thief mission

[ashen barn]

Like 3 times and you are at 50

[ashen barn]

Get to the base camp

Talk to merchant

[sonic inlet]

Ah

[ashen barn]

Go to pirate island

[sonic inlet]

So I need to go there still

[ashen barn]

Yes

follow me aggron

Sleipnir into rapidash

I'll be back later

Time to cook fish

[ashen barn]

Fried fish with a white wine-based sauce

[normal cave]

Shiiiiet that sounds good. Enjoy!

[fading stratus]

Rapidash is like fine

[ashen barn]

Thanks

Something fast because I don't have much time

[sonic inlet]

Well now I can't find the chanseys

[ashen barn]

Oh, it's right between the bridges, to the right side, next to the karate girl

[sonic inlet]

Are you kidding me

[normal cave]

Sparkly

Catch it

[sonic inlet]

Well I had no other choice, now did I

If only that was an absol

[ashen barn]

Btw, I've been giving it some thought

It's risky

BUT

With max attack and a choice band

An absol sucker punch might instantly take out the last lord of the sea

[ashen barn]

Where did you get the Absol+

?

[sonic inlet]

I already told you

Near the mine

[ashen barn]

Found

Now if it'd stay, it'd be helpful

We're at 10 crits, 1 poison and 7 ultra balls

Burn included

Finally

Non-crit STAB.

@sonic inlet

Thing does solid damage

[sonic inlet]

It is an absol

[ashen barn]

With insane speed

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

[ashen barn]

I think a banded sucker punch might oneshot the final sea lord

[sonic inlet]

Might give it the boots

Just... have to decide if I want breloom or him more

[ashen barn]

What I found is that it might be the only crit guy that works

Contrary to gallade

[sonic inlet]

Idk about swords dance

When I already have an Yggdreon to sweep

[ashen barn]

I don't think I will use night slash

Yes, crits are common with it

But I think I want knock off

[sonic inlet]

Well I didn't use the memento vitae on it yet

[mighty storm]

SHINY

[ashen barn]

Ok so

Adamant

Banded

Max atk investment

With super luck

Sucker punch off 130 base atk into a ghost type with pitiful 105 90 170

And said ghost is 30 levels more than I am

This better work because otherwise plan B is sun specs venu Earth power

IT USED PSYCHIC ON A DARK TYPE

[ashen barn]

Friend, it's possible, but it's either crit or 25%

[sonic inlet]

That name sure is a mouthful, huh

[ashen barn]

Ninetails should be divine judge

But instead it's Kyuubi no Kitsune, shortened to Kyubitsune

Ok so

After returning to the resort, there's 1 piss easy battle if you bring an electric type with decent output not instadead to poison

And you get 200k, master ball, and an entire apartment

[mighty storm]

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

I've encountered a total of 2 wild pokemon, and bam shiny

good thing an NPC gave me a great ball otherwise I'd have to kill this bellsprout

[ashen barn]

This quest is technically post game content

[mighty storm]

Plusle killed the shiny

[ashen barn]

Pokemon ranger music is always a banger

[mighty storm]

@pseudo goblet yeah I killed a shiny already

[ashen barn]

Battle! Brody is Shadow of Almia's theme for the captains of the evil team

THERE'S ALSO RAISE THY SWORD FROM EO3

Battle lorekeeper...don't tell me.

It's fucking Zinnia's theme

@sonic inlet you'll love the 6th stratum music. Frozen grounds from EO2, its 3rd stratum.

[sonic inlet]

How'd you get to those themes already?

[ashen barn]

@sonic inlet

Simply defeat final sea lord + a guy with like 4 waters

And 1 flying
And 1 weezing

[sonic inlet]

Huh

Alright

[ashen barn]

Bring the strongest sucker punches you can

[sonic inlet]

Guess I'll do that later, then

[ashen barn]

This was banded sucker with adamant

Anyway, my job for today is done

[mighty storm]

accidentally clicked x out of the game 😅 well time to get back to where I was

[mighty storm]

Wooper!

[ashen barn]

He's good btw

Not much really changed for it besides getting way more scared about a double up

But regular FOEs are almost trivialized by this thing and its unaware

[mighty storm]

Mine has water absorb so gonna need a capsule for it

[ashen barn]

They're unlocked soon

3k a pop

But early on money comes from mining in the labyrinth

10 of whatever drop is 10k

honestly, between dungeon crawler knowledge, Pokémon knowledge and MiA and EO knowledge, I'm surprised I'm not a white whistle yet

[mighty storm]

its just a seedot

uh why is there 4 seedot

6?!

[ashen barn]

Hope you have a rock type

[mighty storm]

level 18 !?

[ashen barn]

You are not the first one to fall for this

[mighty storm]

EXCUSE ME?!

[ashen barn]

Get a steel or rock type

And this is moderately easy

A held lv12 geodude does wonders for this challenge

[ashen barn]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-kitty-komaru-cat-explosion-cat-cat-explosion-gif-4940756872467221811

[mighty storm]

Well at least my team leveled up, but yeah was not expecting exploding

[ashen barn]

If it can make you feel any better

Our wee lad Mark with the man experienced the same fate

[mighty storm]

ooh hisuian voltorb is here

[ashen barn]

Yeah

I also almost ended up blown up, but luckily a staple of my playthroughs early on is a rock type

Because at low levels, very few moves are actually STAB or special or not normal type

[mighty storm]

Emo Elekid 😮

[ashen barn]

You just got a 6%

And the thing is a fafnir Knight from EO2U

And given the class, you can guess what it does

[mighty storm]

that's definitely going on the squad if it will stay in the ball

[ashen barn]

Electric spam

And dragon spam

It also has a very strong ability being Fafnir. 20% boost to its stabs

[mighty storm]

caught after 8 or so balls

[ashen barn]

Gg

I'm now going to bed as I have a 6 and a half hour course tomorrow

[mighty storm]

sweet dreams

[ashen barn]

Are made of this

[mighty storm]

Who am I to disagree

[mighty storm]

ooh regional krabby

and dunsparce

[young river]

The duality of man

[mighty storm]

current team

funky looking smoochum (did a wonder trade)

ooh

(and got a 2nd charmander, both girl)

alright last one, got a cubone variant

[fading stratus]

I should do some wonder trades

[pseudo goblet]

Get shiny from some sites

[fading stratus]

I have a shiny hariyama

[pseudo goblet]

❗

My first SV was a Makuhita

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

You re playing the romhack right

[fading stratus]

Ye

Odyssey

Me mug tidal and now summer

[mighty storm]

I forgot where I was supposed to go after finding the loud orange girl

[fading stratus]

Did you go inside the guild

[mighty storm]

yes

[fading stratus]

Go to first island

Go to the forest

Go inside the powerplant

You'll fight the robbers

First you'll have to interact with the prof in first island

[mighty storm]

@pseudo goblet can you tell the naming scheme for my mons? (easy)

ignore the cubone

[mighty storm]

yes I went in the power plant, went all the way to the back and all.

[fading stratus]

If you've returned to the guild then you can meet Aimee outside the cave iirc

[mighty storm]

yup there they are

[fading stratus]

After you talk to them you can go to the first stratum

[pseudo goblet]

Beyblade? Lol

I ONLY really know L Drago

Sol Blaze reminds me of Cerulegde jp name, SoulBlaze

The most deviant art OC esque name lol

[mighty storm]

Beyblade is correct

[pseudo goblet]

Not gonna lie, ik Im the one that keeps saying GF should take more time to perfect the new games but I felt part of me tire of waiting to see new mons lol

Werent ZA suppose to release around Switch 2 date?

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtu.be/07MOaqVDQa0?si=9x-JS56J0CIGYwrM

@fading stratus @mighty storm @spice rivet no wonder this man has been asking community quiz about gen 5 shinies

… Should I have ping Choccy? Gen 5 fan iirc

[fading stratus]

Zekrom haters smh

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty sure sprite does the shiny justice

This it I think, its only this color when it glows

also dang now I like it lmao, guess why

[fading stratus]

The gen 5 legendaries need buff really hard

They should give the legendaries trick room

That'd be fun

[pseudo goblet]

Sheer force life orb +

[fading stratus]

Well I meant the box legendaries

[pseudo goblet]

Thank god lol

Just wait for Legends Kyurem

[normal cave]

Gen 5 has insane minor legends and shitty box legends

Damn shame, because I love the box legends of gen 5. Reshiram especially, but I love all 3.

[pseudo goblet]

@ solarbym

[pseudo goblet]

Doesnt that mean Gen 4 is more sad

Heatran I think prob best of the roster, even then

Base on what I learn

[normal cave]

Heatran and Cresselia were some of the best legendaries

Darkrai would have broken VGC if it wasn't mythical, considering what dark void smeargle did

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/heatran-stark-mountain-sinnoh-pokemon-generations-gif-7396061

[normal cave]

Giratina did pop up a few times I think?

[pseudo goblet]

Magma cockroach

[normal cave]

Dialga is also okayish

[pseudo goblet]

We already went past(kinda) the Sinnoh boot-licking era too so they miss their chance to hella buff them lol

[normal cave]

And we skipped gen 5 entirely

Now time to buff the gen 6 box legendaries

[pseudo goblet]

Just wait to see which gen is gonna be the side-focus in ZA

[normal cave]

The only buff Xerneas needs is to be legal in the format

I guess Zygarde needs a buff

[pseudo goblet]

DA torture

Lets hope this weekend is the day I find the crimson bat

[pseudo goblet]

Ig SV side-focus is Gen 8 stuff, I mean, Galarian Meowth Gift, new evo to Duraludon and new form for the tea and Ursaluna

Yeah I'd be sick as well

After seeing that

[sonic inlet]

Okay, whoever's nephilim in Odyssey has a banger for a theme

[fading stratus]

for some reason I thought t tar evolved at 45 not 55

now I'm disappointed

but hey flygon evolves at 45 so not everything is bad

@ashen barn which island do you get nature changer again

holy shit scream tail

I wonder if I can encore disable strats with it

it also has filter

[ashen barn]

Charon

[sonic inlet]

Vroom vroom

[fading stratus]

@pseudo goblet I think this is the Flutter Mane code don't @ me if it isnt

Japan really embracing the esports aesthetics

Asian Game Leagues in general i suppose

[fading stratus]

pokemon esports

[normal cave]

It's doing its best

[fading stratus]

its best is good enough apparently

because losers round 8 is probably like top 16 or 8 or sth

Angy eevee

[ashen barn]

OH. I KNOW.

You see, together with Tsareena's queen majesty, bruxish has Dazzling. WHICH STOPS PRIORITY.

It's made to stop prankster and most common priority moves

[fading stratus]

ik, its made to stop exactly grassy glide and thunderclap because both ogre and ursh hate that

[normal cave]

Spring knives can hurt if their spring is strong

[fading stratus]

its just that bruxish is being used over y'know tsareena

also you have psychic terrain

[normal cave]

Man reeeally hates priority

Stops sucker punch on honse too

[fading stratus]

man lost 2-1 but pretty close game tbh

his opponent was zeen too

[ashen barn]

@sonic inlet know arcanine foe? the 3rd stratum one? he has SACRED FIRE

[sonic inlet]

Ig it learns that through level up

[outer eagle]

if the fire is so sacred, why isn't it super effective on ghost types?

[fading stratus]

because ghosts aren't evil

[outer eagle]

spirits don't need to be evil to be purified by holiness smh

[normal cave]

P sure they do

You can't purify a holy spirit with holiness

[fading stratus]

mfs be purifying jesus with holy water

[outer eagle]

pokemon versus of jesus is arceus and that man is normal

[fading stratus]

that's a bull

[outer eagle]

gods can be any form smh

[fading stratus]

ditto was the real god all along

[outer eagle]

if it could actually make different expressions it could be

[fading stratus]

arceus doesn't even learn transform

[normal cave]

Mew does

[outer eagle]

he doesn't need to learn to do it

[normal cave]

Also the llama isn't arceus

[outer eagle]

remember those sussy pokemon leaks awhile back

[normal cave]

It's only an avatar arceus created

[outer eagle]

arceus transforming into a human and giving birth to the creation trio was...a theory

[fading stratus]

typhlosion theorem

oh yeah

did they morb the teraleaker yet

they were trying to pursue legal action

[normal cave]

Please don't

[outer eagle]

the fact that quality legal defense must be purchased to begin with is an interesting thought experiment

[fading stratus]

you aren't innocent unless you're rich

[sonic inlet]

But dark types are

[fading stratus]

dont call the goat incineroar evil

smh

the evil dark type chien pao gets purified by sacred fire anyway

and kingambit

[outer eagle]

wrestling is evil

[fading stratus]

if incineroar is evil then why does he resist sacred fire

[outer eagle]

he's advanced evil

[fading stratus]

[sonic inlet]

He does indeed

Neat

[fading stratus]

where are y'all buying ultra balls

all I see is regular balls upto even fourth stratum

[sonic inlet]

Upgrade the shop at the guild

[fading stratus]

you can do that?

[sonic inlet]

Ye

[outer eagle]

speaking of arcanine
i had a protean arcanine in my oras randolocke
it died to a double batter in meteor falls
rip

[fading stratus]

I had to catch shits like scream tail in a regular ball

[fading stratus]

[sonic inlet]

This girl

[sonic inlet]

you already have a scream tail?

[fading stratus]

yeah its available in one of the islands

forgot the name

the one with cave

the cave opens after you take the card the wood horn guy the second mc gives you in fourth stratum

[sonic inlet]

Yeah I only have one bell rn

[fading stratus]

I'm very bad at remembering names

[normal cave]

No fake out no parting shot

This is not Incineroar

[fading stratus]

incin isnt even in the game

intimidate is more vroken in this game

because of lack of dynamic abilities

tl;dr defiant doesnt trigger off intimidate

and trace copying intimidate doesn't activate it

[normal cave]

Oof

[sonic inlet]

Okay, LO is just randomly found in the middle of road, huh

[fading stratus]

yeah

its in fourth strata iirc

I FOUND LO BUT STILL HAVENT FOUND CHANSEY

WHERE TF IS CHANSEY

[sonic inlet]

Right after the camp, yeah

[sonic inlet]

Uhh, I found her, but it was a couple of days ago

[fading stratus]

i made like 3 rounds

in the path

and I still havent found her

[sonic inlet]

Here

Near the FOE who keeps walking around some rocks

[fading stratus]

idt I saw here here tho weird

oh I'm dumb

I didnt see it because it wasnt in the main road

[ashen barn]

4 fucking crits in a row

Get OUT, edgelord

[fading stratus]

i feel you vro

do you just protein up for hitmontop or is there an easier way

[ashen barn]

Crit thunder number 1
Crit iron head on top
Crit thunder 2 on typhlosion for oneshot
Crit thunder 3 on ninetails

IN THE SUN

Already a coinflip to hit thunder in the sun

[sonic inlet]

Catch 40 different mons

And you get an EV editor

[ashen barn]

40 mons, you go to lab, get the ev editor from a scientist

The lab is right outside the hub

[sonic inlet]

Where are you at btw

I just got the LO

And beat the mismagius

[ashen barn]

I just beat 4th stratum

[sonic inlet]

Well, that was a couple of days ago

The nephilim theme is a banger

[ashen barn]

Dude's fairly easy once you start firing solar beams

[ashen barn]

Wait

Which theme

[sonic inlet]

Uh

Battle! Nephilim

In your appartment

[ashen barn]

Oh

[sonic inlet]

Well ig I gotta go hurry

[ashen barn]

POG

It's EO1

[sonic inlet]

Is that Japan

Lore time then

[ashen barn]

Ok, geomagnetic pole is straight, then left into building, then down on the same floor

[ashen barn]

Uhhhhhhh don't do story yet

[sonic inlet]

Ok, cacturne hurts

[ashen barn]

1st battle is the boss

[sonic inlet]

[ashen barn]

I'm lucky to have my best team at all times

But yeah, brace for impact

[sonic inlet]

Poison ivy poisons someone on my team, only item in that area is something to heal said poison

[ashen barn]

Akashic nova hurts

[fading stratus]

vro that poison ivy poisoned my steel type and poison type

lmao

[ashen barn]

It's the poison ivy from EO1
It's a field hazard that inflicts damage based on hp
Doesn't kill, but weakens a lot

[fading stratus]

how do you mine stuff again

i realised I never mined

thats why I never upgraded my shop

lmao

[ashen barn]

You simply get to the green rocks

And press A

[fading stratus]

it says you need a special pokemon for this

[ashen barn]

There is a sign nearby

[fading stratus]

whever I get to the rock

[ashen barn]

You don't?

Bro, it's 1st stratum. There's a guy next to a rock. He tells you how.

Yeah, EO1U in full swing

And there's MiA music

[sonic inlet]

Olympia's the goat

Well, captain time, then

HE'S A FUCKING REDDITOR

[ashen barn]

And r/Talrega is the official subreddit

[fading stratus]

[ashen barn]

Btw I highly recommend a scarf typhlosion in the sun for underground city

It will die yes

But eruption+other spread move is how I took down the nightmare fuel of a flutter mane

[fading stratus]

does the cap increase

[ashen barn]

Nope

Only after

[fading stratus]

oh its still 50

I was planning on making sand team

[sonic inlet]

Goddamn

Radiance boosted return does about 50% to aggron

And it's resisted

[ashen barn]

I just blasted everything apart with typhlo and venu

[sonic inlet]

As Olympia said

GG EZ

[ashen barn]

How many left?

[sonic inlet]

4

[ashen barn]

Same

I sacked jumpluff and typhlosion

[fading stratus]

did they buff delcatty

[ashen barn]

You liked the edgelord in the end

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

[ashen barn]

A lot

Wait

[sonic inlet]

She got fur coat and one hell of a stat buff

[ashen barn]

Lv60

TYRANITAR TIME

[sonic inlet]

Hey, sucker punch hurts

Ruined that suicune

[ashen barn]

Nooooo they made sand bad

[ashen barn]

I just slept it into oneshot off venu

Specs solar beam crit

[sonic inlet]

Did sand lose the defense buff

[ashen barn]

Nope

Not enough guys for a good team

[sonic inlet]

Ah

[ashen barn]

You can do ttar and maybe sandslash and that's it

[sonic inlet]

Yeah, probably just TTar and sandslash

Yep

[ashen barn]

And gliscor

But gliscor doesn't benefit as much as the rest

[sonic inlet]

Hail isn't much better

[ashen barn]

Also, sandslash has 110 atk

The difference between 110 and exca is great

Also because sandslash has a worse overall movepool

EQ, iron drill, knock...yeah, decent

But no rock slide

Which is exca's main claim to fame for doubles

[sonic inlet]

There's a tutor for rock slide

[ashen barn]

A super fast slide into single target high damage ground move

[sonic inlet]

In the aqua resort

[ashen barn]

I know

It's just not worth it

Also typhlosion is like perfect guy for spread move

It being immune to fake out is big

I think I will get weavile in instead of salamence

There's a big oversight in "best supporters"
Weavile is still the fastest fake out

It also solves a problem for sun teams
OUR OFFENSE DOESN'T DO SHIT TO DRAGONS

Ig no STAB knock off

There's 1 move with 20% to sleep

[sonic inlet]

Alright, swapped the team for once

And level up aerodactyl

EQ on it and mence

While also having choice banded STAB rock slide

[ashen barn]

This is cute as lore reference

But they cut the follow me effect

[sonic inlet]

Well I doubt a weavile would want to have follow me tbh

[ashen barn]

This also has double team

Get it twisted

[sonic inlet]

adamant or jolly aerodactyl

[ashen barn]

I'd say adamant

[sonic inlet]

Yeah, for jolly it goes from 182 speed to 200

Adamant its attack goes to 172

• band

[ashen barn]

Then jolly

[sonic inlet]

It's going to hit hard regardless

City time, then

[fading stratus]

That was the easiest captain

[sonic inlet]

Good theme

[fading stratus]

I'm trailing ya both to the underground city somehow

[sonic inlet]

Flygon

[sonic inlet]

Yeah, I didn't play for 2 days

[fading stratus]

It gets quiver dance heat wave

All I need

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

[fading stratus]

Xatu Noctowl and Flygon all are there for heat wave spam

Aggron gets follow me

So it's there for that

I just wanted to use scream tail

[sonic inlet]

Found the pole

[ashen barn]

I think I want it but at the same time - sludge bomb venu exists

[sonic inlet]

plot twist

[normal cave]

Weavile?!

[pseudo goblet]

The typing Hisuian shouldve had lol

[sonic inlet]

Okay

That electivire

Is scary

Only absol died

[ashen barn]

akashic nova

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

100 power spread move

[ashen barn]

I need to check something important

@fading stratus where did you get the scream tail?

[sonic inlet]

The bell thing

Temple

[ashen barn]

Ok, where's the 3rd bell

[sonic inlet]

I only have one

[ashen barn]

Nevermind

GO TO FARAWAY ISLAND

After 4th stratum

We got the cave of ages

[sonic inlet]

Hold on, I'm talking to a small child

[ashen barn]

You get tusk, flutter, scream tail, etc

[sonic inlet]

Alright she's done with exposition

And I can get to level 60

Oh so we don't even need the bells

[ashen barn]

Btw for faraway island

Bring repels and lv47 and 48 mons

Scream tail has 45% rate of spawn

FLUTTER MAAAAANE

[sonic inlet]

Found it too

No fairy type sadly

But hey, good stats

[ashen barn]

And tusk

This is a great moment

[sonic inlet]

Tusk should be insane

[ashen barn]

Provided I'm not nailed by rock slides

[ashen barn]

Every paradox is

[sonic inlet]

Found all 4

[sonic inlet]

Well, shocks and tail are okay

[ashen barn]

4?

[sonic inlet]

Tusk shocks tail and mane

[ashen barn]

You miss the best

6%

Roaring moon with intimidate

[sonic inlet]

Bye mence

[ashen barn]

It's supercharged salamence

[sonic inlet]

I'll find it soon enough

Ig I'll have 2 darks

But whatever

It's moon

And I'll absolutely use tusk too

[ashen barn]

There's also lore

Got to shocks

[sonic inlet]

Found it

[ashen barn]

How are you finding everything this fast

[sonic inlet]

Speed button

[ashen barn]

[sonic inlet]

Dragon claw TM

...uh

Guess I swap aerodactyl for tusk

Sturdy

Which is insane in this game

Nice

Oh scream tail has filter

That's pretty nice

Tempting, but I don't want to cut anything

[ashen barn]

Also, aether isn't nearly as good a type

[ashen barn]

Btw there should be an ice beam tutor or tm

[sonic inlet]

Probably TM

[sonic inlet]

Unless your name is yggdreon

Alright, everyone is level 60

[ashen barn]

Meanwhile I'm not even done trying to level up

I will still be on the sun strat for a bit

As you know

[sonic inlet]

I still don't know what to give mane

[ashen barn]

Scarf sun eruptions

[sonic inlet]

If only tusk still had protosynthesis

[fading stratus]

Bro I only saw scream tail in like 20 encounters

So I thought it was only scream tail there

[ashen barn]

45% encounter rate

[sonic inlet]

Found ice beam

[fading stratus]

AIMEE IS ALIVE HOLY SHIT

also she was the hardest fight so far probably

Not because of flutter but because Farigiraf just refuses to die

Idk if it had armour tail but I also didn't fake it out fearing that

[sonic inlet]

It doesn't

|| Kitt is an abyssal||

[ashen barn]

Meanwhile here I have to go out

[sonic inlet]

Where'd you stop at

[ashen barn]

Entrance of 5th stratum

[sonic inlet]

Get ready for a good couple of guys walking around with 6 mons

Then a boss with a wigglytuff lead

[ashen barn]

Somehow I doubt that will be hard

[sonic inlet]

The fights aren't

I just spammed EQ and rock slide

But I tried to fight the boss and got immediately hit by lullaby

Because close combat from tusk was nowhere close to killing

Love prenerf dark void on a bulky mon

Nvm it's also 50% accuracy

Still annoying

[ashen barn]

I am just going to yep solar beam

[sonic inlet]

The lead

[normal cave]

rotten egg

Vile, why

[sonic inlet]

She sure is one

Lowers attack and special attack for both opponents

[normal cave]

She is ground. Sleep her ass.

Doesn't this game have fast spore mons?

And she doesn't have protect

[sonic inlet]

Yeah, jumpluff

I can definitely beat this lead, the thing is just annoying

[normal cave]

Cradily is passive af

Don't you have a cleric mon too?

Heal bell and shit if toxic is actually an issue

[sonic inlet]

Oh I can beat cradily

Forgot to get this

[normal cave]

Onion

[ashen barn]

[ashen barn]

Want to bet I can oneshot off solar beam specs

The other one should be hit by scarf eruption fairly hard

[sonic inlet]

I'd be surprised

Considering it's a close combat off of a max attack grand tusk

Also might use celebi

Thing has a move with prio that gives +1 speed on itself and ally

An ability that boosts psychic moves by 20% and then a 110 power psychic

[ashen barn]

Ok but wiggly is way more tanky on the physical side

[sonic inlet]

Hmm

Ig that's why she's impish

[sonic inlet]

[normal cave]

Oh wow an overall stat boost

[ashen barn]

+impish nature

Also yes just came back

Drank a bit

[ashen barn]

Found the final bell

[sonic inlet]

Does that do anything

[ashen barn]

Apparently they lead to the legendary dogs

[sonic inlet]

Ah

Ig I can get Say Gex

[ashen barn]

Also to various cameos

[sonic inlet]

Or Walking Wake

[ashen barn]

It's not the paradoxes

[sonic inlet]

Huh

Then where tf are they

Post game

Fair enough

[ashen barn]

Meanwhile, where celebi?

Right

Ice resists dark here

[sonic inlet]

You need to push a boulder

In the first stratum

And you find an offering to give to the shrine

[ashen barn]

Ok so

Burn has gen7 damage

Thank god for this

Also these guys don't have pressure

Suicune has inner focus

Also you fucking need status

Or these guys NEVER get in

[sonic inlet]

Hmm might make celebi a set up sweeper

[ashen barn]

I'm at 38 balls thrown at red hp

[sonic inlet]

Nasty plot + time circle

[normal cave]

A real ability

[sonic inlet]

Arcane blast probably hurts

[ashen barn]

Fucking finally

[sonic inlet]

A lot

Inner focus to stop intimidate on my physical suicune

And done

[ashen barn]

Bag found

[normal cave]

What do those psychic moves do

[sonic inlet]

Arcane blast is 110 power with 100 accuracy

And does recoil

Time circle is +1 speed for itself + ally

With priority

[normal cave]

Oh

Nasty

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

Set up sweeper

[normal cave]

It gets pseudo tailwind

Is dynamic speed a thing?

[ashen barn]

No

[sonic inlet]

Yeah I don't even think this has the updated fire red engine

[ashen barn]

As you can tell from gen3 double switch mechanics, it doesn't

[sonic inlet]

Welp, celebi doesn't one shot this wigglytuff with leaf storm

And tusk got put to sleep into kleavor

[ashen barn]

Fuck it, I'm going to lead ninetails venu

Or typhlo

[sonic inlet]

[ashen barn]

Typhlo eruption + heat wave LO ninetails

[sonic inlet]

I let this bitch life for 1 turn and it starts speed controlling my ass

[ashen barn]

I'm taking a detour

And catching the legendary dogs

There's also a lore dump here

And very interesting encounters

[sonic inlet]

The solution was ganging up on the thing

[ashen barn]

So you are past the crystal in Stratum 5

The return crystal

[sonic inlet]

Yeah

[ashen barn]

Interesting

[sonic inlet]

Past the pole you'll get a sequence of fights

[ashen barn]

I will be taking the long route

[sonic inlet]

And some guys for you to dodge if you're not stupid like me

Who kept running into walls

[ashen barn]

This thing is breaking every single ball without 1 tick

Finally

Now to 30% old rod for a feebas

[sonic inlet]

Why did they make her such a bean

[ashen barn]

Don't spoil

[sonic inlet]

Nah it's just her crying again

[ashen barn]

You're the only one who got this far

[sonic inlet]

Yea

[ashen barn]

Fucking finally, feebas

Of course even level 5 mon breaks ultra balls like nothing

[fading stratus]

Where is the teleporter in the fifth stratum btw

[ashen barn]

Quite far in

[sonic inlet]

Did milotic get anything

Multiscale

[ashen barn]

Multiscale

Which is a great ability for it

[sonic inlet]

With recover, yeah

Great wall

And I might not use flutter mane in the end

[ashen barn]

Ok so

I think I had a hunch

The 3 bells lead to an alternate reality, in the future.

[sonic inlet]

Oh, flutter mane is literally just better delcatty

With encore

[ashen barn]

A future where you are the enemy and the abyssals won

Well, not won

[sonic inlet]

Well, there apparently is a good amount of content post game

[ashen barn]

But there were many losses

[sonic inlet]

So that could be a thing

I'm not a fan of using 2 of the same type in my team, but I've never used scream tail before

So...

I'll level her up tomorrow

[ashen barn]

Top of mount chimney

The last legendary beast...and Zinnia.

Her entire team is basically dragons

Ninja (weavile) should have a field day

OK PROVIDED EXPLOUD DOESN'T TANK ERUPTION

Which is insane

You are an exploud, not a fucking tank

[fading stratus]

Does milotic get coil

[ashen barn]

Yes

[fading stratus]

Milotic only has one niche in doubles

Coil hypnosis baby

[ashen barn]

Ig I just full send it with double firepower

[fading stratus]

Is dusknoir good or eviolite clops better

[ashen barn]

Evio clops

[fading stratus]

Because I got reaper cloth in underground city iirc

What it do

[ashen barn]

Clops is an attacker with nasty aether stuff

[fading stratus]

Jenjar has levitate might use it

[ashen barn]

Sorry, noir is the attacker

[fading stratus]

Also shadow tag but NPC don't even switch

[ashen barn]

Clops instead has insane de buffs

Man, is entei hard to catch

Inner focus, priority, sacred fire, bulldoze and stone edge

[sonic inlet]

Sadly there's no landorus for it to kill in Odyssey

[fading stratus]

[ashen barn]

Entei PLEASE get in

Nope

Even fires back with espeed crit

I had 60 ultra and 60 mega balls when this started

It's on 2hp btw

FINALLY

[fading stratus]

I don't really care about legendaries

Might not even catch em

[sonic inlet]

Idt I'll use any of them

I could use suicune as a defensive mon

But I'm interested in scream tail rn

[fading stratus]

It's not good

It's funny tho

[ashen barn]

Fuck I launched a full send into flash fire

[fading stratus]

It eats everything and still survives

It also gets helping hand fake out disable wish and stuff

[sonic inlet]

It got buffed here

[fading stratus]

Idk if it gets encore

[sonic inlet]

It does

And has filter

[fading stratus]

Yeah it does piss damage tho

Couldn't even ohko crobat

By a modest scream tail psychic

[sonic inlet]

Well tbf I've been using delcatty lol

[ashen barn]

Fuck

[sonic inlet]

This is still just a better delcatty

[ashen barn]

Sucker punch into typhlo

Lost the ohko

Into eq kill both

[sonic inlet]

Facing who now?

[ashen barn]

Do I get healed?

[fading stratus]

Aggron is goated btw

[sonic inlet]

For the boss? Yeah it's not a gauntlet

[fading stratus]

Rock head head smash is funny

[ashen barn]

1st dude

[sonic inlet]

Ah

[sonic inlet]

Follow up on it is goofy

[ashen barn]

I'm at the "Kitt ran after a signal"

[sonic inlet]

Btw did you end up doing anything with gardevoir

Since you said you were planning on using her

[sonic inlet]

You'll see her again soon, then

[ashen barn]

I ended up not using her

[sonic inlet]

Alright

[fading stratus]

Garde looks cool
I might use her

[ashen barn]

Main draw was prio buffs

[sonic inlet]

I already have celebi as a psychic damage dealer

[fading stratus]

I think we three have like wildly different teams

But xatu is common

[ashen barn]

I don't use it

[fading stratus]

Aww

[ashen barn]

Oh come on

Every time

[sonic inlet]

I like xatu too much to still not cut it

[ashen barn]

Btw you can fight the sentinels

[sonic inlet]

The green guys?

[ashen barn]

Team rn
I wanted to focus on intimidate spam, and sheer firepower

[ashen barn]

Yes

[sonic inlet]

Yeah I ended up fighting most of them

[ashen barn]

Fuck

Rain team

Why did I think that was going to work

Lightning rod into crit thunder

[fading stratus]

Lol

[ashen barn]

Ok

Remind me that banded fake out is throwing

[fading stratus]

Banded fake out is throwing

[ashen barn]

I had it banded for zinniq

Went about as bad as it could have been

[sonic inlet]

I could also just use plusle

Has heal pulse, too

[ashen barn]

I am tired of sucker punches into typhlo

[sonic inlet]

Part of why I didn't like mane

No fairy typing sucks

[ashen barn]

Ok, here's the big one

ERUPTION HEAT WAVE

Wiggly got oneshot

3 turns. @sonic inlet

[sonic inlet]

Nice

It was easy once I decided to gang up on wiggly

[ashen barn]

Funny how the 3rd turn existed because I missed heat wave on illumise and cradily protected

This was almost damageless
Except for LO recoil

[normal cave]

The panic protect

Classic

[ashen barn]

Absolutely justified

Sun eruption

[ashen barn]

These last 2 strata might have been "typhlosion moment", the supercut

A scarf eruption in the sun has enough power to nuke a small country, and coupled with divine storm from ninetails...oh boy

Divine storm is basically discharge but better

It just ensures eruption is unwallable, you need a bulky water to stop it and...storm gets that

[sonic inlet]

Alright, plusle has been leveled up

[normal cave]

Kid named bulky dragon:

[sonic inlet]

And I'll stop here bc it's really late

[ashen barn]

That's what half the team is dedicated to

[normal cave]

Weavile

[ashen barn]

Ice poison weavile

[sonic inlet]

Aside from moon

Much different team lol yeah

[ashen barn]

Top is my answer to rock types

[golden lance]

Tf is plusle doing in there?

[sonic inlet]

Plusle got giga buffed

[ashen barn]

It got gigabuffed

[ashen barn]

Can we stop sharing 1 braincell

[sonic inlet]

[ashen barn]

TLDR insane support with great ability and like every single move for doubles

[sonic inlet]

Tbf it only starts really carrying its weight later on

But for now... eh, good enough

[golden lance]

What does the ability do?

[ashen barn]

Abyssal star

[golden lance]

Does plus now buff any mon?

[sonic inlet]

It's victini's ability

[ashen barn]

Yeah

[golden lance]

Ah

[sonic inlet]

+10% accuracy on both allies

[ashen barn]

Which is really good

Given how many moves have 90% accuracy

[normal cave]

[sonic inlet]

Then it also gets counter + mirror coat in 1

[ashen barn]

And insane defenses

[golden lance]

90% acc hydro pump

[sonic inlet]

Plus a lot of utility moves

[golden lance]

Nice

[ashen barn]

It's like 105 115 115

[sonic inlet]

Meanwhile minun gets 120 offensive stats + beast boost lmao

[ashen barn]

And I still don't think it's that insane

[golden lance]

[ashen barn]

Because most offensive mons in this game are really good

[sonic inlet]

Plusle is definitely the better one of the two, yeah

[ashen barn]

To the point that...well, Flutter mane almost feels balanced

[golden lance]

Does it have recovery?

[ashen barn]

Heal pulse

[golden lance]

Fucking crazy

[ashen barn]

Also every single move imaginable

Follow me
Twave
Etc etc

It comes online at the 11th hour

[sonic inlet]

Fake out, follow me, heal pulse, helping hand, heal bell

[golden lance]

So like

Can you just spam the thing that's counter m-coat?

[sonic inlet]

If it starts getting targeted, yeah

Makes up for its shitty offenses

[golden lance]

What if both of my guys click it?

[ashen barn]

You do still have shit offenses and no recovery or a way to dodge taunt
