vivilon saw some use no?
compoundeyes sleep powder
also scolipede
and leavanny somehow
vikavolt saw some regional tops
but yeah lokix is absolutely the best regional bug
at least for singles. for doubles probs vikavolt or maybe vivilon

sooo whose worse, Ledian or Wurmple line, ladybug?
fading stratus
In doubles Vivillon is the absolute best regional bug
second would probably be Butterfree

One thing kind of lame about pokemon games
Getting legendaries after you beat the game
Makes it redundant
warm sky
almost like they're not really meant to be used in the main game and are more or less the post game

Still, getting 0 utility even post game is kind of lame

golden lance
So comments are flaming the OP and i've got my own gripes with the list itself
But i think the reasoning is that it evolves late and gets unfavorable matchups against the 12v12, 6v8 cyrus, and cynthia
Also has a pretty bad case of 4 moveslot syndrome
Aka "too many moves it wants to run for different utility that it cant fit into just 4 slots"
Which are the fights where it should be coming into play
Also one thing i'm noticing is that a lot of the mons are ranked based on potential rather than average value
Typhlosion and mawile lose a TON of power if you miss the ability 50/50, for example
tacit sphinx

Do wonder how much mon availability mattered when making this tier list

same with gliscor
non poison heal gliscor is way worse
dapper summit
So what's the verdict
My chansey evolved into Blissey just now and I forgot it does that
dapper summit
Is gyrados allat
I mean it's move set is okay
But nothing crazy
Unless hydro pump is that good
fading stratus
Idt it beats zacian crowned vro
who plays zacian crowned in a nuzlocke vro
golden lance
Unless hydro pump is that good
Gyara is usually a phys attacker
Waterfall earthquake dragon dance something else you need it to do
fading stratus
gyarados has everything a nuzlocke mon should have
golden lance
Its main value is in its defensive profile and its availability
golden lance
Very good pivot
golden lance
AbilitIes
fading stratus
moxie isnt awful either
golden lance
You're happy with both intim and moxie yea
fading stratus
also pretty balanced stats
golden lance
Also a mega evolvable mon if your game has those
fading stratus
like its bad stat is defense but it gets patched up by its ability anyway
golden lance
Its surprisingly tanky yea
fading stratus
also it has decent coverage
golden lance
Like sometimes it just lives non stab thunderbolts
fading stratus
crunch eq should hit most mons
paired with waterfall
it also gets waterfall just after evolving at 21
which is wild
golden lance
It keeps showing up every non-restricted vgc generation for a reason
fading stratus
they released really good intimidators recently
harcanine
the tauros formes
squakabilly the goat
gyara has a good dozogiri MU
because its immune to eq
resists wave crash
also it just thunder wave flinches
and intimidate is good
I think my favourite dozogiri counter early this gen was hydreigon
scope lens focus energy makes draco 100% crit
and even without crit unaware ignores stat drops
golden lance
gyara has a good dozogiri MU
Meant more so the opportunity cost
Do you really wanna run dozo giri gyara?
fading stratus
dozo giri in general never is one of the most used archetypes
also last time gyarados was good was regulation C
where it was used in New Balance
which was a new balance team which could counter palafin balance
but in reg H
even if all legendaries are banned
basculegion and pelliper are just better water types
and incin is better intimidator
dozo is probably the third best water type rn ig
golden lance
Yea sure lets just say regional dex formats

I do wish Comeuppance would be learned by other things
It'd be the perfect kind of move for Wobbuffet, thinking about it
Mostly for when you are uncertain where the opponent's attacking from
fading stratus
comeuppance actually has a really funny nuzlocke use
pseudo goblet
Heh, Mega Wobbuffet
pseudo goblet
comeuppance actually has a really funny nuzlocke use
What it does
hasty anchor
Well, you can't exactly change that massive HP stat, so what would be different?
fading stratus
What it does
its basically counter esque
but it does for both physical and special move
and doesnt have negative priority
pseudo goblet
So best for slow mon
fading stratus
tho I didnt mean actually comeuppance
I just got confused
since the topic was malamar
I thought it was topsy turvy
but yeah what I meant was topsy turvy not comeuppance
golden lance
Comeuppance is also a 1.5x boost
pseudo goblet
Im kinda fine with Mega Malamar not getting too much atk stat buff, maybe fast tank
Not sure

Poison confuse and I think sleep
Renegade is so damn hard, it's like these pokemon have RNG on their side
Gyrados brought it home
My eevee still didn't evolve
kind vortex
Why wont it evolve???
did you make sure it still evolves teh same way?
idr if ren plat changed any evolution methods but it's possible, since some hacks do that
changing eevee in particular tends to happen for the gen 2 or later ones, to be stone evos or some such
checked documentation, confirmed evolves into umbreon with moon stone
pseudo goblet
Maybe they changed it to stone evo lol

checked documentation, confirmed evolves into umbreon with moon stone
Yeah this
Also, not Dusk Stone???
Both fits tho, just sayin

Blissey has awful atk and def, just a ton of hp, is it really a good pokemon
fading stratus
its not just good its insanely good
so much that I think it might be the best mon in the game period
it basically walls any special attacker
it can 1v6 any team of just special attackers
you just need to know how to use it
its so good that people often ban just blissey from their nuzlockes as well
it also has a reliable recovery in softboiled
dapper summit
I see, well time to catch a snorlax
The move set on my LVL 19 Blissey is really mid rn
It just has egg bomb as an atk

Rotom is an incredible mon for nuzlockes
dapper summit
whats the ideal moveset for blissey?
is it really just sing confuse and 1 atk
I would prefer to load it up with thunderbolt icebeam
because as it stands while strong it's also super boring
ashen barn
Soft boiled, toxic/status in general, and utility
dapper summit
and sing I used 14/15 times in a row and it either missed or failed so thats like...
ashen barn
It's a blob designed to sponge attacks
It's not going to do anything offensive, really
But thunder wave or toxic on it is super good
Depending on team needs
dapper summit
so how do u level it
ashen barn
Also protect is really good
ashen barn
so how do u level it
?
dapper summit
I was just thinking of removing the only atk i have on mine for a status
ashen barn
Wdym how you level it
ashen barn
Blissey lives off shared exp
And also
Toxic and seismic toss are reliable damage sources
Blissey by itself can basically solo Fantina
dapper summit
Rotom I saw only has 480 total stats, what makes it good in nuzloke?
ashen barn
The stats are really well placed
So it is bulkier than it looks
Has levitate
And can change type
That's its broken part
Change type, get different moves, and rotom wash has been incredible for years
Reliable support and incredible at doing its job

Iron Jugulis is a flying type Paradox that fits the Edgey Loner vibes, but it's a little more meta relevant

Just learned a really dumb fun fact
Paldea and Blueberry Academy (based in Unova) have different time zones. 6 hours (in game time) to be exact
Which is actually the timezone difference between New York and Spain
fading stratus
Oh that's pretty cool

Paldea and Blueberry Academy (based in Unova) have different time zones. 6 hours...

The battle frontier thingy
fading stratus
ah
hasty anchor
Emerald has a lot of neat additions
...Though this also comes with the caveat of sorta invalidating Ruby/Sapphire
golden lance
A feeling of conclusion
fading stratus
also a lot of anger in between

Lol

A feeling of conclusion
So you re saying you had more than one ongoing task this whole time lol

So you re saying you had more than one ongoing task this whole time lol
i've always got 4-5 things going on at all times, all that changes is which one is actually being worked on
pseudo goblet
Yeah that sucks, theres something I kept behind for 5 months
golden lance
the good thing about this specifically is that i can play emerald without an internet connection
pseudo goblet
Exactly 5 months actually goddamn
golden lance
which was something i was lacking beforehand, college wifi sucks

I wonder can we start with Rhydon Skarm
pseudo goblet
Was about to mention regis
fading stratus
I need a quick reminder
golden lance
Emerald battle frontier's all gold symbols, without repeating mons between facil...
and as a reminder of what the main rule is
golden lance
I need a quick reminder
Factory: rental teams, will not need to be accounted for
Tower: 3v3 singles, no gimmicks
Pike: random rooms that range between single or double battles without healing, mons getting status'd including freezing and sleep, wild electrodes with explosion, etc
Pyramid: dungeon crawler, wild mons show up, trainers are hidden just out of sight, your mons dont get healed after battle, items on the floor, etc
Dome: 3v3 singles with team preview, you pick 2 mons per battle sorta like vgc
Palace: your mons pick moves at random based on their nature
Arena: if no mon gets knocked out in 3 turns, a judging system kicks in rewarding points for both mons, whoever loses the judging gets their mon fainted
so 18 mons
fading stratus
is blissey in the game or not again
blissey would be the best mon in any game its in
golden lance
bliss is frlg only
fading stratus
what about snorlax
golden lance
sucks bc the 4 eeveelutions are all decent in frontier
and flareon is also there
so what i was thinking as a base
fading stratus
flareon exists ig
golden lance
there's enough waters for every facility if we need to
i watched a 40 min essay about pike the other day and from what i saw
aromatherapy access is broken
you want a fast lead, a duo that has eq + levitate/flying type, and an anchor that can heal off status
so i was thinking of like
gyarados and smeargle there
and any mon that can click choice banded eqs
fading stratus
yeah makes sense
you probs need to pair gyarados with a ground type
electric immunity
golden lance
mhm
fading stratus
potentially a steelix or rhydon
golden lance
steelix is a trade mon
fading stratus
because gyara also resists their weaknesses
golden lance
1 Swampert
2 Skarmory
3 Starmie
4 Gyarados
5 Magneton
6 Metagross
7 Salamence
8 ...
idt i missed anyone here
the cutoff was legit camerupt and armaldo
also one thing i saw being brought around
the frontier sets are all pretty slow
so even mid speed mons can move first with some ev investment
fading stratus
claydol is probably pretty decent as well
golden lance
70 atk tho
@normal cave @mighty storm
fading stratus
it gets toxic
golden lance
thing about pike
is that you want to end battles ASAP
bc you dont get healed after
pseudo goblet
Its my lucky day apparently <:pogofgreed:562491300432314369> <@27568379397577113...
Whats the chance on the baby mon card to be rare
golden lance
so if things start spiraling out you pretty much lose
fading stratus
what if swellow
golden lance
could work instead of gyar maybe?
fading stratus
I think banded swellow is pretty fast
golden lance
these are the frontier brain teams btw
baiting out gyara before steelix is pretty important
pseudo goblet
Ghetsis gets Support role as secondary role wtf
pseudo goblet
these are the frontier brain teams btw
No wonder battle frontier is hard 
fading stratus
flygon could be good
pseudo goblet
Rock slide?
fading stratus
does starmie have analytic in gen 3
fading stratus
starmie gets tbolt
fading stratus
it can kill both gyara and steelix
golden lance
which is huge
fading stratus
yeah
golden lance
legit the biggest enemy of the pike is the out of battle status
pseudo goblet
Does Starmie in this use psychic
golden lance
yea SPIT set
golden lance
Surf
Psychic
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
pseudo goblet
So starmie sweeps Lucy
pseudo goblet
No recover?
golden lance
we could consider that
fading stratus
yeah
golden lance
but idt you have a lot of opportunity to click it tho
star's a bit frail
and you're gonna be on shell bell
oh yea i forgot to mention shell bell on lead is good here
pseudo goblet
Oh yeah Shell
fading stratus
you probably need a strong physical attacker to pair with starmie
pseudo goblet
Maybe reflect/light screen spam mon
golden lance
yea slaking does the job
golden lance
that's bad in pike
if you cant get poisoned you get something else
aka incrased sleep/freeze chance
fading stratus
ah
golden lance
something i want to consider in general is if i want to spread out the good mons or just like
put swampert metagross smth else in battle tower
pseudo goblet
Waste the bad one and let Starmie carry maybe
fading stratus
starmie flygon slaking works probably tbh
golden lance
since you want the intimidate out of battle effect
and then we put like
something that can deal with the frontier brain
fading stratus
can you use swellow/linoone here and leave slaking for sth else
golden lance
his teams are 3 regis on silver battle, 3 kanto birds on gold
golden lance
can you use swellow/linoone here and leave slaking for sth else
maybe lin
altho lin's good in pyramid
due to pickup
fading stratus
ah
fading stratus
starmie flygon slaking works probably tbh
what do you think about this then choccy
fading stratus
not having blissey or lax is kinda sad
mighty storm
finally tomorrow the myfriendmalamar meme dies
fading stratus
can you use hariyama over slaking
golden lance
ehhhhhhhhh
fading stratus
or heracross
swift jasper
you probably need a strong physical attacker to pair with starmie
👁️
golden lance
btw check out this bullshit
swift jasper
I can be the physical attacker for my favorite...
fading stratus
its just hax turbo holy
golden lance
not even stuff like Run Away can flee from battle consistently
so the best solution is to get something with enough raw power to kill everything
which is probably gonna be CB mence
fading stratus
mence somewhere else maybe
golden lance
something that's kinda spooky too is palace
fading stratus
what about my brave and sassy mons
golden lance
your mons ai pick moves based on their nature
the good ones are ++ attack -- the other 2
fading stratus
why is naive censored
golden lance
why is naive censored
probably bc it cant write naïve
so yea basically just brave and sassy nature mons
which are +atk -speed and +spdef -speed
so the plan is to either make bulky offense work somehow or bring naturally fast mons that wont be too impacted by the -10%
these are the teams for the frontier brain
I got no clue what gets coverage for all this imma be real
Like ideally you want something that deletes suicune from the save file but i dont see an option that doesnt fold to the other two mons
I also really wanna know what the fuck was going on in the game freak beta testing to come up with some of these sets
I dont even mean the silly moves i want to know how the fuck did they choose those silver medal ev spreads
golden lance
100 spatk on a crobat with no special moves sure man do your thing
