||The Dowsing Machine in FRLG has to be the most dysfunctional item ever, especially with RNG spawn items, most egregious in the Underground Path. You only use it to grab the 2 Leftovers and nothing else's worth the hassle.||

PLAYSET OF THE PEACH ONI @pseudo goblet

mighty storm
#

first event pack, got the mega medicham

#

2 later, playset found

hasty anchor
#

Medicham has some of the weirdest attacks in the TCG

#

...But this one seems pretty normal. I think a lot of them had attacks which require a bizzarely specific number of cards in your hand to even use

fading stratus
#

wolfey resuming to play live events is pretty cool ig

#

even if he went top 64 at EUIC

outer eagle
#

He did?

fading stratus
#

yeah

hasty anchor
#

It is pretty neat how they genuinely liked Incineroar as a Pokémon, rather than for what it does for teams.

#

Although that's still a very big factor, let's be real

Because the only way to actually make it is to have Tera ghost

#

Alternatively...idk. Tera fire could be an option but weak to water (common pairing with ice). Tera fairy could also help, but several fighting types also run bullet punches off a choice band.

So Mewtwo X

fading stratus

x even sucks harder

#

Really shouldnt try DA with Heatran

#

Ground fighting and water attackers should work fine

Problem, NPC 💀

#

Especially the ones that would do normal moves

fading stratus
#

just use landorus

#

and earthquake everyone

pseudo goblet
#

Rental mon only lol

#

Which is extremely randomize in DA

fading stratus
#

rental landorus

#

Maybe if I lucked out and find a path thats all ground attackers

#

How defensive is Heatran

Base heatran?

#

Very

#

Shit is bulky

#

And also hits hard

pseudo goblet
#

Okay yeah no Imma not bet on NPC lol

#

Maybe, Still DA, but online

#

So the RNG will be people online, me unable to use set paths but hoping thats okay

#

I mean surely game wouldnt give me a run FULL of fairies against magma creature

Just a thought tho

Got Swampert mega stone just now, okay so on top of getting a Swampert on my team, I need a Kyogre counter froghead

Or, I can NOT be a completionist and walk away from rank A

Kyogre counter is pink gastrodon

What happened to blue? 334

Blue fell down in the gutter

Typo in my previous text nyoooooo

Upcoming gen10 regional Ghost/Water Gastrodon that has rainbow colors clearly

I wonder when we'll get champions

OhImGheg slug

I need the ability for all the megas

outer eagle
pseudo goblet
#

Thats the best from me adding ultraman shtick into Starmie

outer eagle
#

Aren't Ultramen supposed to get weaker as time goes on

#

That's like their whole schtick

pseudo goblet
#

3 minute time limit on earth, finish the fight before then

#

Yes but you almost never sees them finish the fight WHILE they re healthy lmao

outer eagle
#

If an ability would be based on the timer it would be like +1 stats on switchin that last until end of next turn

pseudo goblet
#

Fuck it, Water type Aftermath icant

outer eagle
#

On switchin or Mega Evolving, Mega Starmie chooses either its Atk, Sp.Atk, or Speed and get a +1 boost okbuddy

#

Simulating the form changes

pseudo goblet
#

Ig we can go with Dyna’s power set

#

We have a guy that goes

All rounder/Power type/speed form they call Sky type

#

But I like Starmie instead have Dyna’s

All rounder/Power/Psychic power basically

outer eagle
#

To think that swapping between 3 basic forms was revolutionary at the time and we have like 20+ fusion forms nowadays

pseudo goblet
#

Nah dw, they promised they will not do fusions ever since ma boi lol

#

So far afaik they kept their word

outer eagle
#

Not necessarily "Fusion" in a stricter term
More like borrowing another Ultra's power to obtain a different form

pseudo goblet
#

That too

outer eagle
#

Well it was certainly good for merchandising i'd guess

fading stratus
#

mega starmie gets huge power zane thats 99% confirmed

With actual good stats pre-ability

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

starmie has like okay movepool

#

physically

pseudo goblet
#

Huge Power and Bulk- actually starmie is kinda frail huh

outer eagle
#

Giving Mega Starmie Huge Power would just make Mega Cham completely outclassed
Not sure if GF would do that

pseudo goblet
#

Boi needs follow me

fading stratus
#

medicham gets fake out

#

that was its only niche

outer eagle
#

Imagine Huge Power Flip Turn

#

Welcome back Miraidon

fading stratus
#

I remember seeing medicham in the finals last time wolfey won a internats before euic 2025 in 2019 so it was probs atleast decent

pseudo goblet
#

Oh, Ability take

+3 upon entry, self -1 each turn

fading stratus
#

talking about Miraidon

pseudo goblet
#

There, cant get more ultraman

fading stratus
#

I was thinking a bit about the best partner for groudon

outer eagle
#

Kyogre clearly

fading stratus
#

I thought Miraidon but that means both your restricteds are ground weak

outer eagle
#

You mean Primal Don?

fading stratus
#

yeah

pseudo goblet
#

Gravity Lift or what the move was called

fading stratus
#

regular groudon sucks but primal groudon is like the second best mon ever

pseudo goblet
#

First is Kyogre? Lmao

fading stratus
#

best as in strongest

#

strongest is xerneas

outer eagle
#

Caly is prolly better

fading stratus
#

Regular ogre > don
primal don > ogre

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

I thought Caly but like I dont want to double typing in flutter

pseudo goblet
#

Xerneas

fading stratus
#

or else lunala is probs better

outer eagle
#

Double Restricted is pretty weird to build for

pseudo goblet
#

Shouldve at least progress the rank lil by lil even if I dont have good team, instead of idling

fading stratus
#

this was the highest ranking groudon team this worlds

#

but Ice rider feels so unintuitive

#

because both are physical restricteds

outer eagle
#

Using Don inherently makes you lean heavier into the Paradoxes frogethink

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

look at the korai teams

pseudo goblet
#

Thank god Primal bois doesnt get their abilities, I can still bullies the Groudons with Sharpedo lol

outer eagle
#

Shar Pedo

#

Mega Sharpedo always seems like a Mega specifically made for Singles

pseudo goblet
#

Surprisingly, no Xerneas

fading stratus
#

a lot of megas are made specifically for singles

outer eagle
#

Well yeah but Sharpedo is like an extreme of that

pseudo goblet
#

Tho I feel I rather take on Xerneas over kyogre, water type is good defense type

outer eagle
#

Dude is frail asf, compensated by high speed and atk
With no utility move, only monka beatdown

#

Base Sharpedo having 95 Sp.Atk truly is the Hoenn Special

pseudo goblet
#

Man Emboar is so fun when he hits right

outer eagle
#

Just barely enough to make you cope into thinking it's useful, but not enough to actually be

#

Emboar going from 65 to 75 Speed upon Mega Evolution truly is wasted stat

fading stratus
#

emboar will get gale wings for fire typing

outer eagle
#

Me when i'm a mixed attacker that has prio Wisp

fading stratus
#

dragonite with drizzle prayge

#

that would be peak

outer eagle
#

Pelipper waiting room

fading stratus
#

even if dnite is a special attacker Espeed is probs still optimal

#

which is funny

outer eagle
#

ESpeed without Tera Normal frogethink

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

tera steel builds still play espeed

outer eagle
#

Wonder what about Mega Chomp Z would have

fading stratus
#

all Z megas probably will have speed boost or sth

#

tbh

outer eagle
#

Giving them the highest base speed out of all megas

#

And then Speed Boost on top

#

Seems kinda overkill frogethink

fading stratus
#

if I had to give mega chomp z I;d probs give a ability that gives stab on ground moves

#

or sth

outer eagle
#

Sets up Sandstorm and gives STAB Ground clearly

fading stratus
#

they'll give chomp sandshear storm

outer eagle
#

Chomp stealing Lando's flow

fading stratus
#

also give drampa adaptability or sth

#

it'll be a peak TR mega

#

adaptability hyper voice with 160 base atk

outer eagle
#

At that point might as well give it Boomburst

fading stratus
#

boomburst hits ally

outer eagle
#

Either Drampa dies or everyone else dies

Mega Emboar Wild Charge Clashed with Mega Feraligatr Liquidation

Gatr faint and Emboar was on 1 Hp before fainting

fading stratus
#

thats why its called the goatboar

pseudo goblet
#

Peak Cinematic Boar nyaruhodo

#

Okay yeah starting ti get not so ideal score

#

Garchomp can learn Liquidation peepoS

fading stratus
#

so can Iron Valiant

#

or Flamigo

#

or Perrserker

#

fuck it latis learn it too

#

even Malamar

pseudo goblet
#

Okay Malamar feels the least weird tho

#

Twice I have seen it lives around water

hasty anchor
#

What a loser

#

Other than the mentioned, yeah it's really strict in what can learn it

#

Typically they'd have to be water-type or have some relation to species that would live in water to learn it. (Sharks, Flamingo's are often found near water, Perrserker is a viking...)

#

How Iron Valiant learns it is beyond me, but then again, it's not supposed to make sense in the first place.

I brought 1 pseudo and 3 of the best paradox mons to the hall of fame.
Who I used for the entire champion fight? Opener sableye, swap to skarmory, NEVER SWAP AGAIN.

#

Iron defense body press skarmory 6-0d the entire champion fight.

#

Spikes
Iron defense
Body press
Roost

mighty storm
#

btw finally finished the mega darkrai fight recently

hasty anchor
#

Really the most surprising about Iron Valiant isn't Liquidation, but that it can't learn Aqua Cutter.

#

Aqua Cutter is a very rare move, but Gallade is one of the few that can learn it, and isn't even a water type

#

Which makes me think that in the process of just, existing, Iron Valiant screwed up on learning some blade technique of the thing its based on and just hits things with a watery blast instead of slicing.

fading stratus
#

Gallade can cut

#

So it learns a cutting move

hasty anchor
#

...I really wonder why Cut is still allowed to stick around in the first place.

fading stratus
#

I hope they give mega gallade sharpness

normal cave
#

Wtf

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, even with some moves being unusable, some still can be used with Metronome

normal cave
#

Small indie company moment

hasty anchor
#

I think it's mostly a case where they might have figured something was going to be added that'd learn that move, but they decided to, well, not go for it

#

Like having Farfetch'd in the game

#

So the move is just left in cause, well, we already put it in, and it's not hurting anything for it to be there.

#

...Or maybe it's just that they have to throw in the traditional HM moves to the games, even though they just aren't gonna be used for those obstacle-clearing purpose anymore

normal cave
#

Surf at least has use

#

Dive and fly have their niche

hasty anchor
#

Yeah they get a pass

normal cave
#

Rock Climb has a niche

hasty anchor
#

Even Strength is alright, even though there are better uses

normal cave
#

Strength is entirely outclassed by Tera Blast

hasty anchor
#

Cut just, really just shouldn't exist at this point. But realistically, it's the most basic cutting move out there, aside from Slash

normal cave
#

Slash is like

#

Decent

hasty anchor
#

Which makes me think that much more things should learn it. Scratch kinda implies whatever uses it has claws in the first place

normal cave
#

Boosted crit rate is nice

hasty anchor
#

Would be weird having Honedge use it, wouldn't it?

normal cave
#

Eh, a blade can scratch

hasty anchor
#

So really, I think Cut should just be retooled into a very common move, assuming Scratch isn't an option, but what learns it does have sharp blades somewhere on it

#

Also yeah, there's that. But I always figured the name implies clawing at something instead of making a slice.

normal cave
#

Scratch is a surface level cut

hasty anchor
#

I think some fangames that go for "balance" tend to make Cut a steel type move. Which sounds alright, I guess.

normal cave
#

Or grass

#

I've seen grass type cut

hasty anchor
#

Ooh

normal cave
#

Which was really useful for coverage

#

I think volt white 2 had it

#

Used it for Clay

hasty anchor
#

Oh, here's something interesting.

#

Apparently the Japanese name is "Iai Cut"

#

Thought that was interesting.

normal cave
#

It is

#

Isn't Iai a sword?

hasty anchor
#

It's based on Iaido, which is a martial art based around quickly drawing your sword to go for a slice.

#

So, draw sword, cut, sheathe sword. Which explains why Farfetch'd and Kartana learn it.

#

Maybe make the move deal much, much more damage if Farfetch'd has a Leek held

ashen barn
hasty anchor
#

They need a whetstone

#

@fading stratus do people still run games in gen 9 ranked?

#

I think i'll chill until gen 10 rolls around

mighty storm
#

Sprigatito ex?!?!?

fading stratus
hasty anchor
#

Alright gonna ask @golden lance , is it fine to play Cobblemon in peaceful difficulty?

#

Actually, better question; would there be any way to disable vanilla mob spawning?

golden lance
#

Yea you can do it without much issue

#

Only thing i would add personally is A way to get nether stars, those are used for master balls

#

So if you want those around they're good, same with beacons

#

If you dont care then its fine

#

Mob farms are also heavily used to farm sculk which is a way to get exp and IV candies

hasty anchor
#

Ahh, I'm alright without

golden lance
#

But you can use a squid farm for those

hasty anchor
#

Although, I feel like something should drop a Nether Star.

golden lance
#

The main thing i missed is that since you cant farm rotten flesh en masse, you need to grind a bunch of stuff like rattata to get it

hasty anchor
#

Alright, let's see how I can disable all those mobs

#

Shouldn't be too much an issue!

golden lance
#

Rotten flesh is used to make berry mulch, very useful stuff

golden lance
#

Or just use good ol' peaceful mode

hasty anchor
#

Ahh ok!

golden lance
#

Next update is confirmed to be about move distribuition

hasty anchor
#

Ah cool, that'll spice up battles

golden lance
#

So TMs, breeding, and npcs including tutors

#

So for now everyone is stuck with their lvl up movepools

hasty anchor
#

...Well, as long as it isn't stupid like having to get together a lot of shards/heart scales/whatever, that's cool

#

(Although having color shards be something to get from dusting off sand or gravel might be cool)

golden lance
#

So a couple tips i can give is like

#

Use a texture pack that differentiates suspicious sand and gravel from regular stuff

#

Berry mutation is a thing and its pretty important for cooking

#

Cooking is arguably the most important aspect of the mod and is how you get rare mons / ivs / fast exp / evs

hasty anchor
#

Gotcha

golden lance
#

And mounts are very useful to have since you'll be traveling a lot

hasty anchor
#

All that botany from XY is gonna pay off

golden lance
#

I recommend dragapult, garchomp, or dnite

hasty anchor
#

Also yeah, new update had riding stuff.

#

Having something like Corviknight for travel will be super helpful!

golden lance
#

Gold is also the most useful ore in the game so grab the ones you find

hasty anchor
#

Allllrighty

golden lance
#

If you also want to minmax for natures, mints are just rare enough that you want to grab any that you come across, white ones specially

hasty anchor
#

Righto

golden lance
#

Oh yea, if you want a timesink

#

There's a gholdengo skin you can unlock by feeding your gimmighoul up to 4 stacks of netherite scrap

hasty anchor
#

Ooh, yeah I think you were talking about that

#

Would be a nice flex to work towards

golden lance
#

It also slightly changes if its shiny

#

It looks so good on it too

hasty anchor
#

Well disabling mobs still has passives spawn in a few spots but so far, no hostile mobs

#

Also, on the subject of Corviknight:

#

Feels like you should be able to like

#

Attach a Harness to a Corviknight.

#

Now you got a Flying Taxi

#

Really would be cool if that can be done

they clearly tried foing for that same kind of vibe

#

and the goofy ||bird|| wouldn't?

mighty storm
#

tbf, the grass one I also think is nah

magic thunder
#

especially given that ||frogmouths are just funky owls||

#

I'm waiting for the ZA guy to pull through

#

would be funny if he was right

mighty storm
#

As much as I like the idea for the fire starter being that

#

they arent gonna repeat

#

this also means I can only see one more cat starter ever existing

magic thunder
#

yeah that's why we get ||rhino, dolphin and I forgor what the third one was||

void herald
#

i'm the world's only charmeleon fan

@spice rivet @icy heath how huge is this in terms of shiny hunt- oh wait 1/8000 huh

fading stratus
#

#

@pseudo goblet I demand you to start shiny hunting in FRLG clearly

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

probs deoxys

#

or sth

#

if its frlg

pseudo goblet
#

Hmmmmmm

#

Idt I EVER remember seeing any kinds of save file with Shiny Deoxys tho, never

fading stratus
#

deoxys was shiny huntable in frlg

pseudo goblet
#

Huh

fading stratus
#

you just needed the event ticket to reach it which in on itself was rare

#

but it wasnt locked

pseudo goblet
#

Wait we srsly got this before modern Gen 1 and Gen 2 huh

#

I need to start plan which week to rest from skyblock

#

Gotta try get Poipole to 1k

spice rivet
pseudo goblet
#

Okay what are chance they patched the glitches lol

outer eagle
#

Not like they are going to be hosting event distribution for the FRLG Switch port or anything clearly

#

No reason for GF to put in the effort

pseudo goblet
#

Watch they somehow drop a dlc to it lmao

#

… wait…

#

@golden lance Didnt you have a thing for Battle Frontier??

#

Or was that someone else

golden lance
#

I did

#

But FRLG doesnt have one

pseudo goblet
#

Oh shit my bad

vagrant steppe
#

Lol lmao even

#

200,000 yen, comes with one download code

pseudo goblet
#

… fuck you Nintendo

#

5000 rm?!?

vagrant steppe
#

Oh and the download codes expire in July 2026 so you can't even hold off on it lol

pseudo goblet
#

Please tell me extra zero

vagrant steppe
#

Oh whoops yeah

#

20,000 yen

pseudo goblet
#

Thank fuck icant icant

#

Yeah that sounds more like it

vagrant steppe
#

That's still about $130

#

Ridiculous

pseudo goblet
#

500 rm, actually, possible price, although… digital…

vagrant steppe
#

Do not buy that lol

#

You're paying $130 USD for 2 boxes and some orbs

pseudo goblet
#

The orbs

#

Rare and shiny

normal cave
#

Dafuq you mean rare

pseudo goblet
#

Limited

normal cave
#

Bro

#

Any company can slap that shit on anything

vagrant steppe
#

These probably cost less than $5 to manufacture

normal cave
#

There was a limited line of liquorice chewing gum that ran for like 10 years here

vagrant steppe
#

They're ultimately only worth anything because people said they are

normal cave
#

^

#

And even then

golden lance
#

the games do not feature online play

#

People are actually defending it with their lives too i'm crying

vagrant steppe
#

"But how else will I play these on modern hardware"

#

You can emulate these on your phone for free

golden lance
#

"but they costed 40$ its such a good deal!!!1!!1!!!!"

#

Ngl the funniest outcome is that they patch out all the ACE shit but still leave altering cave completely empty

spice rivet
#

Side note, I wonder what the origin mark will be/will the game have one

#

Since you can already bring up mons from Gen 3/FRLG into Home

#

Maybe a GBA symbol and "From the Kanto Region in the Advanced age" or something.

crimson moat
#

I definitely am not getting FRLG for 20, but I’d recommend it before I’d recommend LGPE

void herald
#

they're doing this because they know people will buy it. i don't think they care about the opinions of people who aren't going to buy it anyways

long stone
#

asks for old games to be a standalone purchase on the store
get what they asked for years finally
gets mad about it
icant icant icant

void herald
#

yeah if these were switch online only then people would be complaining about that instead

magic thunder
#

so presumably

#

dropping after the direct

fading stratus
#

ohh

#

yeah probs march then

#

very much keen to see mega dnite ability

#

and heatran

outer eagle
#

Wonder if 20 years from now when Nintendo moves from the Switch to the UTurn or something they will make another port for old gens games that cost 40$ instead

long stone
#

BTW i like how the argument here is like "why would I pay when I can play it for free on my phone" as if having it for free is some kinda uh right they are entitled to

Then again if it was playable for free, why was it even asked for lol

outer eagle
#

Then again prolly will be like 60

#

Inflation be going brazy

#

20$ is edging a bit on the harder side realistically for a port that doesn’t change the actual gameplay whatsoever

#

It shouldn’t be free obviously

#

But price is price

#

How much did the Early Days Collection sell for

pseudo goblet
long stone
#

Cuz some games that are exactly the same on console/mobile, cost way more on console for some reason.

outer eagle
#

Shady practices and all that

#

But well consoles have some of the biggest fanbases ever so not like anything will ever change

long stone
#

Yeh some of these games in question have like double the price on console

#

Here's the best example

#

Why tf is terraria $30

#

Just saying

#

If this is ok when it costs $6 on pc, then these gba ports costing $20 is also fine.

outer eagle
#

Well it prolly wasn't ok for people clearly

magic thunder
golden lance
magic thunder
#

bro they redo ||grass bird|| for a starter...

#

the games being more expensive is the least surprising bit this week

golden lance
#

Now that i think about it

#

The sapphire quest is gonna be so funny if they dont change anything

fading stratus
#

I feel like I've seen morbillion starter leeks so far

magic thunder
#

we have 2 rn

golden lance
#

Bc the whole point of that is "accessing the hoenn region"

magic thunder
#

1 comes from an actual source but he says he's not 100% on it

#

1 comes from the guy that posted ZA leaks the weeks before launch

golden lance
#

Aka unlocking the ability of trading with RSE

magic thunder
#

the legit source leaked

#

fire ||dog||, grass ||bird||, water ||lizard||

#

and the za guy leaked

#

||rhino, dolphin, bear||

fading stratus
#

also ||grass goat||

outer eagle
#

Yeah that would be funny

magic thunder
outer eagle
#

I’m prolly the 0.1% of players that actually did all the Sevii Islands

#

Even finding the Memorial

magic thunder
#

they'll actually steal the remaing loomian legacy starters

#

fr fr

#

they already took the 3 that match the pokemon starter types

outer eagle
#

Also funny that they saw Hypno being described as the creepy mon and then decided to make a whole ass sidequest exacerbating the meme even further

fading stratus
#

my guess is there will be 3 starters

#

one grass one fire one water

#

I'm 90% confident that all 3 first stages will be monotypes

#

they'll evolve around lv 14-18 and then again around 30-36

magic thunder
#

I hope if the ||grass bird is real||

#

it changes ||from grass/flying to grass/whatever again in the final stage ||

#

just for the bit

golden lance
#

Oops sorry for the ping

outer eagle
#

All i remember was it was the only place to get the Metal Coat in FRLG

magic thunder
#

real leak is that he is in the game

#

fr fr no cap

#

totally real

fading stratus
#

call it gryffindor

golden lance
magic thunder
#

goofy ahh steel/fairy starter

fading stratus
#

qwqq what if we get a box legendary which is a pure flyer which sets tailwind on entry

golden lance
#

We actually need to stop making steel fairies

outer eagle
magic thunder
golden lance
#

Its actually so annoying GF made the best type combo and decided "yea we're gonna make 20 of these"

magic thunder
outer eagle
#

Imagine having to play through the entire game again through the post-game to get another Metal Coat

#

Truly gigabrain game design

golden lance
#

Imagine if frlg dont get the NSO QoL

#

Like save states

outer eagle
magic thunder
#

steel/fairy equivalent guy is not even the best starter

#

you have the water/fairy one and the ghost/dark ones as actually good in comp

#

tho the basic starter abillity being diet adatpability also helps them more

#

(stab is 25% here and the starters push it to 50%)

hasty anchor
#

Oh wow, they actually did it

#

FireRed/LeafGreen on eShop!

hasty anchor
#

Poison/Ice type

#

...I actually don't know if it would be the worst, but it doesn't sound like a good place to be.

vagrant steppe
#

There's 0 reason to not put them on that

#

Other than that these are pokemon games and therefore more special than any of the other GBA games

vagrant steppe
#

LMAO I just saw people defending this going "well they can't be on NSO because you could save scum to cheat fights or get shinies".... Just don't do that then bro

golden lance
#

The shiny argument is crazy funny too bc you can tell these ppl dont shiny hunt

#

Hunting shinies in FRLG takes quite literally 3 button presses

spice rivet
#

Also, unlike RBYGSC, these game are rated Pegi 3+ still even though they have the slots machines still. I think Austin said that games rereleased now can carry over their previous age ratings

"It's half 9" >> they mean 9:30, a statement crafted by the British

hasty anchor
#

Y'know, FireRed/LeafGreen got me thinking about the stuff that game had

#

Stuff like Berry Crushing, minigames with Dodrio, jump rope minigames, as well as the Altering Cave

#

Most of em were just, well, not really prominent unlike features made in RSE, but they were there, I suppose

#

Altering Cave is really bewildering though. Originally there were going to be Mystery Gift events that changed what can appear in the cave, but nothing came of it, which is why nothing but Zubat can be found there

golden lance
#

Oh yea on another news unite is apparently imploding

They flat out removed the free currency and new mons only get half of the moveset options old mons had

Only a week till gen 10 reveal

#

Sometimes I wonder if Charmander learning Metal Claw really does make it easier to make progress in the games

#

Cause, its the one time it's able to learn that move just so it has an attack to deal with Rock-types.

#

...But Brock's Onix actually knows a rock-type move now, in Rock Tomb, so I imagine it would be very difficult still.

void herald
hasty anchor
#

Ahh, ok!

#

I guess the attack boost would help, if you can pull it off against Geodude.

that would be peak

with evos ig like crobat and stuff

hasty anchor

Everyone be running to train Annhililape

I think without new evos it'll be snorlax format

annihilape is weird if there;s no tera

because surely dnite mega and gengar mega will be great

Also yeah, Annihilape

yeah but electrivire and magmortar are only good because they let their pre evo hold eviolite

maiden flax

Mega Starmie free space

#

Mega garchomp z still somehow worse than regular garchomp

warm sky
#

This is just one I found smh

But yeah we def need a better one

maiden flax
#

Mega Bax somehow also worse than regular bax

fading stratus
#

so this from the bingo above

#

do I remove anything

warm sky
#

Scovillain contrary tbh

fading stratus
warm sky
#

Also I'd write Mega Tatsugiri is actually good over Dynamax dozogiri

#

Like Mega Tatsugiri seems entirely useless

fading stratus
maiden flax
#

Mega Bax worse than non-mega bax

fading stratus
maiden flax
#

Mega golisopod has emergency exit 3
(The exit returns)

fading stratus

do I put no IVs

maiden flax

fading stratus
#

do I put a newcomer wins a event

warm sky
#

maiden flax
#

icy heath

warm sky

I'd say add like a Mega X is powercrept, by adding a previously popular Gen 6 Mega that wouldn't be able to do shit in Champions

fading stratus
#

wdym

warm sky
#

But just wouldn't be good in Champions

fading stratus
#

mega ray powercrept?

warm sky
#

Could be Ray

fading stratus
#

what else

warm sky
#

I was thinking Kangaskhan tbh

fading stratus
#

kang got PuP in ZA so idk but I could put kang yeah

warm sky
#

True if she keeps PuP

#

Also maybe bring up uhhhh how one of the mega raichis or the sword of justice get an attack boost if they use their signature move. Whether that actually stays in champions or not

fading stratus
maiden flax
fading stratus
#

do I put that or just say urshifu/ calyrex

Either works

fading stratus

now only 2 slots
