We're so back

polar osprey
#

@sonic inlet did you see the leaks?

#

we finally got the water baby

#

also every legendary beast draws a card at the end of the turn

#

but more importantly

#

we finally got a support that reads like a support

#

Trainer – Supporter

Look at the top 4 cards of your deck and put all Pokemon Tools you find there into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck.

sonic inlet
#

I did

#

I think all the waters are good

#

About time

polar osprey
#

I like all the consistency tools

#

me likey draw card

sonic inlet
#

Mantyke fixes a lot, suicune punishes the opponent for putting mons in the bench which lets you red card or mars

#

And Milotic is just lillie

#

And yeah legendary pulse is great

polar osprey
sonic inlet
#

Reddit on its way to complain that we're getting more draw cards

polar osprey
#

imagine making suicune the face of the pack then making all waters ass

sonic inlet
#

Yeah

polar osprey
#

grrrr I hate opening playable

sonic inlet
#

I just didn't have any expectations bc water

#

Eh

when I started reading this I got super scared ngl

#

bcs I thought they were introducing extra point killers

sonic inlet
#

I'm hoping we get more points in season B

golden lance
#

Megas are just not functional in 3 point format sadly

sonic inlet
#

Well, they kinda are

#

You play 1+1+3

#

But it's kinda awkward

magic thunder
#

insane

hasty anchor
#

Skitty and Sneasel!

polar osprey
#

by virtue of them overcompensating for that weakness

#

my guess is

#

the first batch of megas will be unplayable

#

the devs will get freaked out

#

then overcorrect and make some of the most centralizing cards ever

#

I think the ones that will get that treatment are gonna be basic megas since they are the ones that in theory have the worst time

golden lance
#

I would like to see how that rolls bc unless they just straight up one shot ex's while on low energy amounts

#

They're just a bit clunky

polar osprey
#

I think it's gonna be via insane accel tools

#

tera zard type beat

tacit sphinx
#

So did any of the Loyal Three have any relevance in comp

#

Either VGC or singles

normal cave
#

okidogi

fading stratus
#

okidogi was decent yeah

#

guard dog is a pretty cool ability

outer eagle
#

Relevance? Yes
Prominance? No

fading stratus
#

okidogi also has a regionals win

#

which is funny ig

normal cave
#

upper hand coaching

#

or wait not coaching

fading stratus
#

yeah you should defo play coaching on okidogi

#

when only item it holds is AVclearly

normal cave
fading stratus
#

you basically play dual stab knock and upper hand

#

you can also play ice punch snarl

#

throat chop sometimes

pseudo goblet
#

mix attacker?? or only simply coverage

outer eagle
#

why are these named loyal three anyways
tf are they loyal to cheems

fading stratus
#

snarl doesnt need to do damage its point is to reduce spa

fading stratus
#

they're its henchmen

normal cave
#

the whole point of the dlc is that people misunderstood the story no?

pseudo goblet
#

more or less

#

The one true fact is Ogerpon has confirm kill counts clearly

normal cave
#

the loyal 3 and pecha were viewed as the heroes while pon was viewed as the villain, despite the opposite being true

fading stratus
#

well the loyal 3 also killed ogerpon';s trainer

#

so like

#

idk if you count that as misunderstood

pseudo goblet
#

the trainer was a foreigner btw

fading stratus
#

so racism

#

understood

pseudo goblet
#

villager dont like em and oger, they sleep in cave, Ogerpon was only one left in the cave

#

literally wore Ogerpon's mask just to visit the village festival

#

yes people can wear em

#

Pecharunt and Ogerpon be like probably

#

I just realize Pokemon has made Grass Legendaries for 3 gens

fading stratus
#

i had forgotten virizion even exists

magic thunder
#

was goated in Pokemon Duel

pseudo goblet
#

The whole group for me KEKW

magic thunder
#

Can't wait for ||Iron Sabre|| in B3W3

#

wait no

#

Keldeo specifically should be a non-iron future paradox

#

the water type oxidized it

#

he's now Rust Sabre...

pseudo goblet
#

yeah tell that to Bundle

fading stratus
#

Iron Junk

magic thunder
#

Iron Bundle has the water kept inside the bundle

#

smh

outer eagle
#

Iron just means any kind of metallic material realistically

pseudo goblet
#

Gold doesnt rust does it

magic thunder
#

I feel like they could have done the minimal effort to put other metals in

pseudo goblet
#

would be cool for a future Keldeo with gold surface

magic thunder
fading stratus
#

gold is very inert in nature

magic thunder
#

realistically every metal can oxidize in some conditions

pseudo goblet
#

new word of the day lol

fading stratus
#

which one zane

pseudo goblet
#

inert

#

also fair

fading stratus
#

inert just means non reactive

magic thunder
#

gold oxide is a pleasant color, it's a nice orange

#

like Keldeo's mane...

pseudo goblet
#

literally, discord is my place of betterment, I blame yall and yt for my english KEKW

magic thunder
#

next year the Cambridge dictionary gonna add Labubu

fading stratus
#

isnt gold both univalent and trivalent

#

so technically there should be 2 gold oxides

fading stratus
#

gold I oxide and gold III oxide

magic thunder
#

ok but have you seen Au2O ?

#

isn't it very hard to actually isolate

pseudo goblet
#

Okay, Im dumb, Mercury Keldeo

fading stratus
#

maybe YOU havent seen it clearly

magic thunder
#

Au(III) Oxide is the only one I know you can actually get

pseudo goblet
#

Ig Lead works too

fading stratus
#

I went and checked

#

doesnt seem that hard

pseudo goblet
magic thunder
#

yeah, it's unstable tho

pseudo goblet
#

Water Poison Keldeo

magic thunder
#

afaik

fading stratus
#

I was planning to study chemical engineering in college thankfully I didnt

#

there's too much shit to keep track of

pseudo goblet
#

doesnt study chemical like, put you in somebodies checking list lol

#

I mean I literally seen the damages Elephant toothpaste could cause, dont ask how

magic thunder
#

isn't that just

#

hydrogen peroxide decomposition?

fading stratus
#

idek what elephant toothpaste is made of

#

never seen it

pseudo goblet
#

apparently one of the two chemical can be use as teeth whitener(???)

outer eagle
#

it's made of elephants obviously
just ground them up into a paste okbuddy

fading stratus
#

well hydrogen peroxide is used for tooth whitener iirc

magic thunder
#

I always knew it as

#

not actual use on elephants, it just makes a ton of bubles: proxide + dish soap + potassium iodine

fading stratus
#

then why is it called elephant paste

magic thunder
#

who knows

#

it's an experiment for kids, probably just a funny name

pseudo goblet

Fuck it, I tried resisting the post icant https://youtu.be/rRruFmjV19o?si=AKiN2Fs-rJUfJ6sz

isnt KI a medicine

magic thunder
#

yeah, it's just the catalyst here tho afaik

#

sometimes they use yeast instead

#

radiation poisoning medicine

fading stratus
#

makes sense

magic thunder
#

and thyroid

#

of the top of my head

#

might be used for more

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

what does dish soap contain again? sodium carbonate?

pseudo goblet
#

Ik I am ConcernedFroge

fading stratus
#

as in the compound that decomposes

magic thunder
#

I think you literally use it to show the bubbles lol

fading stratus
#

lmao

#

so its just H2O2 decomposition in presence of KI

magic thunder
#

I don't think the surfactants would react in any immediately observable manner

sonic inlet
golden lance
#

I wish they had at least finished the story mode

magic thunder
#

One day they'll remember it existed

#

and add it to some 150th anniversary collection as an offline version

golden lance
#

Qww did you play when megas were a thing?

#

Shit was obscene

#

Latias had pretty much a teleport

magic thunder
#

I haven't played duel much in its later days

@pseudo goblet

When are you getting the shinies of these 2 Zane

icy heath

@pseudo goblet

pseudo goblet
pseudo goblet
#

Dont mind me, Im just too lazy doing this shitty feature myself and copying

#

Them giving you units that you can ONLY fully customise on limited time is dumb as hell cheems

#

It like you only build your team on limited time and then you re stuck with it as is

normal cave
#

dena moment

pseudo goblet
#

Yup

#

Whats worse is that the upgrade material you have to farm also

mighty storm
#

Back to back wonder pick exs

LANTURN

#

MY ADORABLE FEESH

pseudo goblet
#

… nostalgia aside, how come I never question how these fishes not simply die on land for hours yeetbrain

#

I think they were struggling eventually? But still

hasty anchor
#

Chinchou defies epxectations

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

whenever I see it I get even more disappointed than before

hasty anchor
#

It's an anglerfish, known for being super scary (but not really harmful towards us), and living at the very bottom of the ocean

#

But it instead looks cute and often is seen at the shallows of water

normal cave
#

they are SMALL

fading stratus
#

some species are bigger

normal cave
#

at MOST 1.5 meters for the big species

#

which is not big enough to eat a human

#

but also if you see an anglerfish in person, one of you is likely dying a horrible death due to pressure differences

void herald
#

i was expecting bigger than a golfball but not large enough to eat a person

pseudo goblet
#

The one from Finding Nemo must be on steroids, clownfishes ARE golfballs

#

Size

fading stratus
#

man was smoking meth

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, hence the "not harmful towards us" bit

#

They really are tinier than they are made out to be, especially the males

#

The ones commonly seen are the females of the species; males are like, 1/20th the size

#

In terms of how alien Anglerfish are, they are relatively normal compared to what is down there... or has yet to be found.

normal cave
#

reminder that the deepest thing found in the ocean was a plastic supermarket bag

hasty anchor
#

Now that's scary

normal cave
#

genuinely

#

microplastics everywhere, even at the bottom of the ocean

#

gotta take better care of the planet

fading stratus
#

that's not microplastic that's macroplastic

hasty anchor
#

Jokes aside, the fact a bag made it's way down there is very unsettling, as it would mean even those inhospitable depths aren't safe from our actions

normal cave
#

yup

pseudo goblet
#

Let the Isopods play with something new

hasty anchor
#

We shuttle Duel Monsters to them

#

And let Isopods play paleozoics

hasty anchor
#

The whole depths thing made the whole deal with Dive in RSE fascinating if you were playing it after GSC

#

You kept hearing things about mons like Chinchou and Kingdra living in such parts of the ocean, and for the first time you get to actually go down there yourself.

normal cave
hasty anchor
#

...It's admittedly pretty barren, but back then it must've been super cool

normal cave
#

I got to experience it as a child and it was my favorite place in the game

hasty anchor
#

RSE was a wild trip; diving down to the bottom of the sea, learning what braille is, having lessons about ecoscience both from scientists, museums and crime gangs who want to further the development of humans/Pokémon, they really threw a lot in there.

#

Helps that the actual Pokémon introduced were designed in such ways that you can tell the art teams were trying new things out, and it works

normal cave
#

word

#

rse was a treat

hasty anchor
#

old fish deserves pats

#

Wild how Relicanth can learn Head Smash naturally

#

...Which just makes me wonder how fast it has to be going to even pull off such an impressive attack

pseudo goblet
#

Fish does have more sets of fins

#

Thats like a unique key feature mentions by people introducing the fish itself

hasty anchor
#

That's the really cursed part; they have to parasitically attach to females just to survive

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
pseudo goblet
#

Litleo and Pyroar be like

#

None of these was my intentional target except the only male here, I literally saw Male pyroar outbreak and went for it, or else

fading stratus
#

even if the litleo is female thats still over odds btw

#

because pyroar are male only 12.5% and in above image it'd be 20%

pseudo goblet
#

Outbreaks bypass it by forcing SPECIFIC forms to spawn

#

Rare teapots, Male lions, female quen and lizard

#

Although the amount of RNG you have to do to find those outbreaks to begin with kinda balance things out

#

While I have the app boot up

#

Guess I left the korean amongus in SV

#

Really hope the next DA doesnt take 12 phases to find the target icant icant

golden lance

I cannot look at g-weezing seriously after that one image

fading stratus

as much as I like Kyogre

#

I honestly dont see myself building a Kyogre team for you

#

because well Kyogre misses

#

if origin pulse didnt miss kyogre would honestly be a insane mon

pseudo goblet
#

Really should go hunt that Torkoal ConcernedFroge

fading stratus
#

well if you want to play sun even after primals we still have Groudon

#

groudon is probably the second most broken mon ever

golden lance
#

Origin pulse/precipite blades should skip acc check if their weathers are up

#

Highkey

fading stratus

yeah honestly

pseudo goblet

Wasnt even argue back, that would been better from the start

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

I wonder

#

will we ever get a sand/snow restricted

#

that would be cool

pseudo goblet
#

Problem, I dont have the path to Landorus KEKW

Never tried finding legendaries path myself, Lunala was from Yozzoy and Kyogre was from a twitch streamer

fading stratus

maybe ask yozz again

#

he might help you get the lando route again

If @spice rivet happens to have it lmao

We can only save 3 paths at once

Lost En't, but MVP one shot the gigantimax duraludon 😮

#

Only lost 2 mons in Raihan gym @pseudo goblet 😌 but still the team is gonna struggle

#

Galarian Linoone for my after gym encounter, not bad

#

Oh right route 10 encounter to, gonna need it

#

Oh, a cubchoo. Caught and named Teddy

tacit sphinx
#

@fading stratus I remembered one of my mons from back in the day

#

On my trick room team in XY I’m fairly certain I used Avalugg

mighty storm
#

Went and got my Master Dojo mon in the Nuzlocke 😄 Spindrip the squirtle

#

Smudge died to a random double battle ....

#

good time for a break

fading stratus
#

I think avalugg is a pretty funny mon

#

But it didn't even have body press back then

tacit sphinx
#

I wish I remembered the set

#

Sorry

#

Wait @fading stratus this means I remember my entire TR team

#

Mega Ampharos, Escavalier, Avalugg, Porygon2, Hariyama, and my intimidator was Arcanine

#

Pretty sure it was min speed Arcanine

fading stratus
#

any items?

tacit sphinx
#

I remember that Arc had AV

hasty anchor
#

Yeaaa Hariyama

fading stratus
#

I mean symph

#

hariyama has been used historically

#

its just there's no reason to nowadays

#

when you can play a gatto

#

hariyama even is a world champ

tacit sphinx
fading stratus
#

even without incin Hariyama wouldnt be used

#

rillaboom exists

#

and now iron hands

tacit sphinx
#

Oh I agree with you

#

Incin is just like

#

How do I put it

#

When I was in high school I knew a guy who tried to one-up everything you did

#

Like I spent a long time practicing basketball because I wanted to learn to play

#

I sank my first three pointer ever and he immediately went “pfft that’s nothing watch this” and did a dunk

#

Incin is that guy

#

It’s just this really obnoxious role compression

fading stratus
#

eh I think incin is fine

#

its not broken like say urshifu

#

or flutter mane

tacit sphinx
#

I agree with you

#

I don’t think Incin is busted

#

I just think it’s got too much

fading stratus
#

in all fairness it also gets nerfed every gen

#

last gen we introduced like 50 abilities that prevent intimidate

#

and this gen guard dog as well

#

then covert cloak

#

cleam

tacit sphinx
#

Guard Dog is on like

#

One mid and one bad mon

fading stratus
#

okidogi

#

its a pretty decent mon

#

also we got 2 really good defiant mons

#

this gen

tacit sphinx
#

Slipping my mind

#

Kingambit usually uses SO doesn’t it?

fading stratus
#

kingambit and annihilape

#

yeah in doubles you always use defiant because supreme overlord is insignificant when you can get like atmost 3 stacks

tacit sphinx
#

Fair

fading stratus
#

we also got farigiraf

tacit sphinx
#

Oh btw I was thinking Bolt

#

You know what is like absolutely the saddest legendary ever

fading stratus
#

which one

#

mespirit?

tacit sphinx
#

“I can’t wait to be the only physically offensive Grass type with Grassy Surge” - Tapu Bulu

fading stratus
#

tapu bulu was good when we didnt have rillaboom

tacit sphinx
#

Bulu got immediately fucked by Rilla and it’s kinda hilarious

fading stratus
#

bulu did get second in worlds once

when it was played

but sadly not nowadays

if bulu gets play rough and grassy glide it will have its niche again

Technically 7 shiny in one team icant

well we'll use it for different stuff

Additional bling lol

Did they add Lunala as shiny locked encounter in SV I wonder

fading stratus

pseudo goblet

Ik they did the meta honses

fading stratus
#

who knows if we'll get a mega

#

and all gen 6 starters too

they might give em shinies after not giving em in their base game

pseudo goblet

Charizard picked as favorite

Good, glad we got someone willing to say it's a favorite

#

Way too many are rude towards Lizardon

fading stratus

it was my first starter

I'll always have a bias towards it

#

not in teambuilding I'm not building a Charizard team zane

probably

pseudo goblet
#

Im just fantasizing how I like Bulbasaur, so that says about our rivalry placement KEKW

#

both reptile I like, unfortunely idc for Squirtle

fading stratus

fun fact btw zane

#

exeggutor is a better cholorophyll user than venesaur

#

it has a top 8 and a top 4 this gen

pseudo goblet

Venusaur best Thick Fat user clearly

#

Mamoswine second

snorlax was meta back in the day

I will not put up with this slander of Swellow

fading stratus
#

Swellow realistically is probably the best regional bird

#

Just because of pre poison guts facade

#

It has a really good speed tier as well

hasty anchor
#

I see all that, but then just go

"Boomburst"

kind vortex
#

hm

#

gen 1: pidgeot (has a mega but base form is pretty bad)
gen 2: noctowl (really aggressively bad in regular games)
gen 3: swellow (guts facade is fine but i don't think that alone makes it best; specs scrappy boomburst sounds like a fun meme tho)
gen 4: staraptor (intimidate/reckless and an actually usable atk stat that can use different items)
gen 5: unfeazant (never really liked this one)
gen 6: talonflame (even post-gen 6 gale wings is better than most other regional birds)
gen 7: toucannon (interesting moves and ability but too slow to make use of it regularly)
gen 8: corviknight (not sure this one needs elaboration)
gen 9: wait who the fuck was the gen 9 bird again?

hasty anchor
#

Paldea's a toss-up between Kilowattrel and Squakabilly

#

Unfezant's funny, cause it's ATK is surprisingly high, but it doesn't get very much aggressive moves to go with it

kind vortex
#

wattrel only evolves once and squakwabilly doesn't evolve at all so i'm hesitant to include them

#

but kilowattrel is cool, really damn frail but can find uses for it

#

squawkabilly has a bunch of different options iirc

hasty anchor
#

It really gives you an incentive to use Tailwind, due to it's special ability.

Not like it truly needs it cause it's plenty swift, but it's there

frosty ledge
#

didn't gen 9 not have a bird

kind vortex
#

mainly for its ability

kind vortex
hasty anchor
#

Wind-based moves also trigger Wind Power

kind vortex
#

i'm aware

hasty anchor
#

Makes me wonder if there's some use for moves like Petal Blizzard

kind vortex
#

tailwind is primarily a doubles move; you could use it in singles, if youc an find time to set it up

#

but kilowattrel is extremely fragile

hasty anchor
#

Though, Petal Blizzard's in that spot that most thing that do learn it often aren't gonna be using physical attacks

pseudo goblet
#

I think it was a bit over level so you re not suppose to do that icant

tacit sphinx

Legends Arceus reminded me that Carnivine exists

What is this thing’s deal

kind vortex

if the anime is to be believed it likes to eat people

snow oasis

i will not say the v word

tacit sphinx
#

Okay so this is perhaps a dumb question

#

We got BDSP and Legends Arceus right

#

Why did none of the forgotten Gen 4 mons get like, a new evo or ability or anything

#

Like where’s the Purugly buff (for example)

icy heath
#

Purugly is already too stronk

#

Mars has gaslit me so

tacit sphinx
#

Purugly isn’t stronk

#

Mars bamboozled you

#

Also I had no idea the tail was a corset

#

This makes so much sense

#

Huh. It’s the fastest mon with Defiant. Neat.

you could always find lower level fully evolved mon

also this

fading stratus
#

peli isnt really regional bird

#

its like fearow

golden lance
#

hoenn has 2 pseudos and swellow isnt a 3 stage mon either

#

it counts

fading stratus
#

so youre saying hoenn doesnt have a regional bird

golden lance
#

regional bird is a social construct kiddo, it means whatever i want it to mean

fading stratus
#

wingull and pelliper appear in like most games so they're more of global birds

#

than regional birds

kind vortex
#

generally i associate the term with the intended first birds you come across in a given gen

#

most (but not all) have multiple evolutions with hoothoot and taillow being outliers

golden lance
#

isnt wingull a route earlier tho?

kind vortex
#

also most of them are part normal type

#

they have been working away from that of late

fading stratus
#

also wingull/peli are available in like every gen

#

even in kanto theyre available in hgss

#

like say swellow for example

kind vortex
#

wingull shows up on 103 and taillow 104 (but taillow is also earlier in the dex despite this)

fading stratus
#

its not regional enough really its everywhere so its global

golden lance
#

corv showed every gen following its release

kind vortex
#

i wouldn't push too hard against someone associating wingull with being a regional bird tho

fading stratus
#

it wasnt available in bdsp

golden lance

bdsp is not mainline

by choccy's logic

gyarados is a regional bird

its available in first town if you fish

karp isnt a flying type

gyarados is

so a bird

actually the only actual regional bird is missingno

Gyrados is a bird dragon

superman: the team archetype is based on stacking multiple flying/levitate mons so that you dont have to worry about hazards

#

gen 4 added stealth rock

fading stratus

ah lmao

hasty anchor

I feel very off anytime Stealth Rock is mentioned

golden lance
#

modern superman is just boot spam now so idea still lives

hasty anchor
#

Not cause I think it's the worst (Though I really do want it to be less prominent), but they just didn't do anything else with the idea

fading stratus
#

yeah choccy is like 3? years younger than me

hasty anchor
#

You could totally make other kinds of traps with different types, but no, we gotta have the sneaky pebbles and nothing else

golden lance
#

gen 8 added stealth steel

#

for 1 mon

hasty anchor
#

They really should have made one for ice types

golden lance
#

in gmax form

hasty anchor
#

Mostly cause I want to disrespect more dragons this way

#

Yeah, Gigantamax Copperajah gets something like that

pseudo goblet
golden lance
#

sticky webs got added in gen 6

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, they don't got to deal damage, either

golden lance

and both that and spikes still see wide usage in singles

hasty anchor

Spikes actually is used?

pseudo goblet
#

Btw Bolt, next team needs Electro Web clearly KEKW

they prob just dropped the idea in favor of more stuff that works well in vgc

surely you can put custom for friendlies

i dont wanna use the ingame currency vro

why the fuck would you implement reverse regional pricing?

fading stratus

is importing from US cheaper

if importing implies buying digital media on like, amazon or smth
