The Great Kalosian Shiny Hunt

[molten ether]

wait i am an idiot i am going to need a foreign ditto

[sudden matrix]

Apparently 2 years ago, someone else has the same problem

[civic grail]

I have Japanese ditto!

[molten ether]

sweet

[civic grail]

Just need to figure out this situation LOL

Or

[molten ether]

if i get one that means i only need an english

amaura

[sudden matrix]

It's universal. It's a goddamn bug

[civic grail]

Me and Meeper can trade, and I can give you female Amaura

Cause we just need one of foreign

[sudden matrix]

Only on SwSh apparently

And there's only one option: Pokemon Home

[molten ether]

okay so i need female amaura and japanese ditto

final answer

[fallen grail]

“Huh? But there don't seem to be any Pokemon around...”

[verbal oar]

I'm going to start moving along to an SWSH masuda hunt, is there anything in particular that I should try to masuda (aka stuff that isn't taken by someone else).

I just can't do trade evolutions due to a lack of Switch online.

[fallen grail]

Have you checked the sheet?

Wait is it up to date

[civic grail]

No:(

[fallen grail]

Dang

Nvm then

[verbal oar]

I have seen but there's stuff not marked but people are marking/dibbing it anyways.

Such as Platiii aiming for Amaura but not marked there on the sheet as "taken"

[civic grail]

Yeah they’re very behind since only Jedi has access atm

[sudden matrix]

It sucks Amaura is only in SwSh and it's more broken than SV rn

[civic grail]

Dang sorry sinnohh

[arctic pier]

Check pins

[molten ether]

well we decided that im doing amaura like right now lol

[civic grail]

Meeper do u have amaura we can trade on SWSH?

[sudden matrix]

It's alright

I'll see how long a surprise trade takes

[arctic pier]

Yeeeeesss but i would have to breed it

[fallen grail]

I can straight up catch one in the crown tundra maybe

[verbal oar]

I just realized. I think I have Mudkip eggs at my daycare atm.

[arctic pier]

I was working on getting a japanese amaura for plati cuz there's one on the gts rn (they're asking for a level 51 scolipede so i got one)

[verbal oar]

I can just. Keep doing that and see if I can mark Swamert.

[civic grail]

Ahh gotcha

[verbal oar]

But I need to quickly check in case I changed hunts for some reason

[arctic pier]

@fallen grail could you get yukkuri an amaura if you don't mind?

[fallen grail]

this thing has been taking me all day I want to explode

[arctic pier]

if you can't i can breed mine

[fallen grail]

Sure thing

[arctic pier]

awesome so yukkuri will be able to give plati a japanese ditto later and for now i will supply a japanese amaura

[verbal oar]

Ok yeah good I checked it was a Dragapult for some reason but now I can place back Swampert.

[sudden matrix]

I've been here for two whole minutes and I'm still doing a surprise trade

[arctic pier]

dead game :ICANT:

[fallen grail]

Ok I found an amaura

[sudden matrix]

I complain and I got a trade

[fallen grail]

Gonna catch it now

[molten ether]

game is literally dead? omg?

[sudden matrix]

But yes, it's slow finding people

[verbal oar]

But yeah I'm going to try to do Mudkip eggs + Spritzee encounters (on Route 5)

[molten ether]

im handling spritzee

[verbal oar]

I can't evolve the Sprtizee but I assume Platiii can if I do find one

[arctic pier]

@molten ether got a japanese aurorus for ya

[molten ether]

sweet ill hop on uhh

online

link code is 1234 5678

[arctic pier]

Not even joking a power surge hit my house the second i connected online this is some divine fuckery

Not to worry. I will Hotspot

[sudden matrix]

Let me know if trades work for you, Platiii

[fallen grail]

@civic grail got that amaura ready

[sudden matrix]

Everyone got that Amaura

[civic grail]

Wait if you got Japanese Amaura we need a non Japanese ditto now… right?

[civic grail]

Swag

[fallen grail]

Oh not jp

Ah ok

[molten ether]

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

okay god

[civic grail]

Alright mad I’m ready to trade any time

[fallen grail]

So to recap, any swsh amaura would do right

Nothing special?

[civic grail]

Yeah!

[fallen grail]

Alrighty

[molten ether]

i do need a jp ditto too

[sudden matrix]

You could say Shield was slow :3

I'm sorry, I'll leave /j

[fallen grail]

Link code is 9999 7575

[molten ether]

code is 1997 1225

[sudden matrix]

THE DONK

[civic grail]

That was fast

[fallen grail]

I see you

Anything will do

[civic grail]

Yeah sinnohh I’m sorry </3 It was 100% your game

[sudden matrix]

Yeah

Apparently found out others have got similar issues

[civic grail]

Idk you can have her

[fallen grail]

Could it be switch 2 to switch 1 connectivity

WHAT

THHANK YOU!????!

[civic grail]

[fallen grail]

I really appreciate it????

[sudden matrix]

Switch 2 didn't come out 2 years ago and the problem arose then

[fallen grail]

Ah I wasn’t active then

I see though

Thank you so much!!!!

Enjoy the amaura borealis

[arctic pier]

ENJOY we have defied god

[molten ether]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-toy-story-buzz-dab-me-up-dab-up-gif-26395273

[arctic pier]

And then yukkuri can trade you a ditto in uhhhh later

[sudden matrix]

This happened earlier this year (or last year) too with me

Trying to trade with a streamer and it took literally 20 minutes before we were able to trade

[arctic pier]

(Just remember to sub out the japanese aurorus parent for an english baby if you'd rather have ditto in the daycare)

[sudden matrix]

Animal Crossing has a similar issue. I can't go to anyone's island

[arctic pier]

It might be your switch in that case? Swsh's trade system has always been pretty bad if i recall but usually rebooting the game fixes it

Can't say for sure though

[sudden matrix]

It's mostly been SwSh

SV been fine with trading, same with PLA and BDSP

Hence the only time I did anything on Shield was getting a shiny Latias

[dawn spire]

guys holy shit

the first red ultra worm hole with a legendary is yveltal

😭 thank god

[sudden matrix]

Aye

Bacon Birb

[civic grail]

Lmk when to trade JPN ditto!

[molten ether]

then they would not be different languages

cause ditto does not affect masuda shiny odds yeah

[arctic pier]

It does so long as ditto is a foreign language but if both parents are japanese nothing happens

[molten ether]

oh right

code is 1997 1225

[sudden matrix]

So I only got the Fennekin line to do on Violet

[arctic pier]

@civic grail

[civic grail]

Awesome

[cloud forge]

HUH

It was just standing there 😭

[fallen grail]

Lemon

[sudden matrix]

Menacingly

[cloud forge]

The sparkle sound didn’t even play so I almost missed it

[arctic pier]

THE

[fallen grail]

[arctic pier]

congrats goat 🔥

[dawn spire]

Let's go

Also writing down a list in pins for jedi and everyone else while jedis away

[arctic pier]

code is 8008 1355

[dawn spire]

We're making good progress

We're at 29/69 now

[cloud forge]

W

[arctic pier]

I think the honedge swirlix and spritzee lines will be the worst non legendaries just bc there's no easy way to hunt em

friend safari is probably easiest

[acoustic spruce]

No 4th person right just us and king

[cloud forge]

Sleeping soon and gonna be busy until 8 pm est tomorrow so bergmite’s prob gonna be my last hunt

[arctic pier]

Good luck!!

[acoustic spruce]

Binacle also sucks

[arctic pier]

Dyna forgetting about janet :ICANT:

@dawn spire one minute should i open a new lobby

Oh yeah big time

[acoustic spruce]

I will go back to binacle later

I did 5 boxes of eggs earlier

[arctic pier]

LETS GO

[cloud forge]

Idek what shiny binacle looks like bc I’ve only seen shiny barbaracle through wormholes

[arctic pier]

Alfie

[acoustic spruce]

What the hell id this

[dawn spire]

Oh these suck

[arctic pier]

It's like greenish orange??

You ever been to laser tag. It looks like laser tag palette

WOW THESE SUCK

left i think

[dawn spire]

This route is cooked

[cloud forge]

Oh it’s literally the same color scheme as barbaracle

[arctic pier]

Should we just not bother with this route or should we see what happens 😭

I mean there is a scientist up ahead

Theoretically we can get something decent

[dawn spire]

It probably is better to just die early honestly

[acoustic spruce]

I’m showing this to a friend as a demonstration of why hunting zygarde sucks actually

So I might wanna try and make it work anyways

[fallen grail]

Genuinely worried im gonna be the last person yet to have their shiny by the end of this thing

[arctic pier]

Oh sure i'll play it for content

[dawn spire]

Sure

[arctic pier]

You got this!!

[acoustic spruce]

AWESOME

[dawn spire]

Wow this route is like

Omega hell

[arctic pier]

Is butterfree not the single worst mon to encounter here

[fallen grail]

thanks 🐛 🐛 🐛

[dawn spire]

Shit might as well catch it for the free gmax

[arctic pier]

Ok we swap for this for sure

Question is who

I guess marowak isn't all that useful?

[dawn spire]

Wow we got super fucked man

Look at all those statuses

[arctic pier]

SORRY DYNA

[acoustic spruce]

I’m about to die next fight

[dawn spire]

Unless the mons never attack you for whatever reason

[acoustic spruce]

I’m poisoned

[arctic pier]

Yeah that was my bad i should've let you have it

[dawn spire]

I see paralysis

[arctic pier]

Unless you get lum

[acoustic spruce]

I didn’t

Oh wait I’m paralyzed

I’m dumb

[dawn spire]

Well you'll definitely die with life orb lol

[arctic pier]

i can heal you with pollen puff

[dawn spire]

Meeper gaming

[dim garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

gl on the zygardes y'all

[arctic pier]

Helping hand the pollen puff so it heals more 🔥

[dim garnet]

i'll let you guys sap my life energy

if it means it'll happen within the next two days

[arctic pier]

Thank you tank we have somehow not phased once

Absurdly bad luck

[acoustic spruce]

AWESOME

[dim garnet]

i'm willing to die for the bit

[arctic pier]

GREAT PARA

[dawn spire]

This is actually like

Easily the shittiest run we've had

[acoustic spruce]

This is the worst DA ever

[arctic pier]

It's probably the single worst route possible i must admit

Scientist lady could save the run though

I know she got a jynx

[acoustic spruce]

Do we die before we reach zygarde😭

[arctic pier]

I'm gonna rage powder to take grass move

FUCK SORRY KING

I EXPECTED AN ALFIE CHOKE

Ok now i can pollen puff alfie is in the air

[dawn spire]

Helping hand rage powder

[dawn spire]

The worst part is I don't think so

Zygarde will just be miserable

[arctic pier]

Who up getting 𝓑𝓮𝓯𝓾𝓭𝓭𝓵𝓮𝓭

[dawn spire]

That did nothing

[dim garnet]

you guys need to go for wide guard mons

[dawn spire]

Para is hype though

[dim garnet]

i think it was uhh

hitmontop, mantine

[arctic pier]

CLUTCH PARA

[dim garnet]

kingler

[arctic pier]

These would help tremendously

[dim garnet]

okay no

mantine, kingler, pelipper, mienshao

[acoustic spruce]

Who gets this

Do I

[dawn spire]

Not me bc i didn't catch lol

[arctic pier]

Yea go for it

[dawn spire]

You can

[acoustic spruce]

Actually I’ll pass

[dawn spire]

Nice

[acoustic spruce]

Scientist?

[dawn spire]

Oh i thought you went for it and Alfie just stole it lol

[arctic pier]

Yea i think thats the play

[acoustic spruce]

Can I take this

[arctic pier]

I wanna go octillery for the bit but that's a giga throw

[dim garnet]

if you guys can get a route with one of these mons + an ice attacker or two, ESPECIALLY kingler or pelipper, it'll probably be a winning route

[arctic pier]

Sure

[acoustic spruce]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[dawn spire]

Wow

[arctic pier]

OBJECTIVELY WORSE

[dawn spire]

Wow

[acoustic spruce]

DUDE

[arctic pier]

WE'RE FRIED

[dim garnet]

alolan sandslash in particular gets swords dance avalanche to oneshot it

what'd y'all trade for

[arctic pier]

Game is not throwing us a bone but the wide guard list is v helpful

Dyna traded for toxtricity

[dim garnet]

actual nightmare

[arctic pier]

ITS SO BAD MAN .

[dim garnet]

lemme uhh

compile a lil list of mons that help vs zygarde

[acoustic spruce]

Meeper rolls worst DA seed of all time?

[dawn spire]

😭

[arctic pier]

Okay dyna you probably Need this

[acoustic spruce]

Yeah I Think So

God terrible moveset too

[arctic pier]

[dawn spire]

[acoustic spruce]

Well for zygarde at least

[arctic pier]

[dawn spire]

You sense the presence of many!

[dim garnet]

ZYGARDE KILLERS :D

WIDE GUARD MONS (blocks all of zygarde's dangerous moves, makes it a punching bag):
-mantine (flying to avoid max quake)
-pelipper (flying again)
-mienshao
-kingler (strong attacker for before zygarde)

STRONG ICE ATTACKERS (kills it lmao):
-alolan sandslash (BEST PHYSICAL ICE ATTACKER, swords dance + avalanche can oneshot after 1 turn with screech support)

DEFENSE DEBUFFERS (debuffs zygarde to break past/skip 100%'s health buff; can also allow strong special attackers to kill it without ice moves):
-golduck (screech)
-grovyle (screech)

[potent fern]

Aegislahs and Yveltal wtf sick

[arctic pier]

HOLY SHIT THIS MOVESET

[acoustic spruce]

I don’t need this

Technically better I think

Lanturn too so double bad

[dawn spire]

Isn't it relicanth

[arctic pier]

Genuinely could not tell

[dawn spire]

Either way it would be bad

[arctic pier]

Okay so i think the strat for zygarde is to max absol and then do acid spray boosted hailstorm

[acoustic spruce]

Sceptile at least has a dragon move

[dawn spire]

Max hailstorm absol

😭 😭 😭

[arctic pier]

WERE FRIED.

[dawn spire]

[arctic pier]

OK DAMAGE ON ABSOL IS BAD

[dawn spire]

Breaming swipe

[dim garnet]

[potent fern]

this is insane, folks

[dawn spire]

DUDE

[arctic pier]

Room up

[dim garnet]

zygarde won't clear statuses until turn 3 if it doesn't take too much damage

[dawn spire]

Literally could not have asked for better timing with the event going on

[dim garnet]

so you have 2 turns to set up a nuke on it

[arctic pier]

Our hopes and dreams have currently been relying on status from butterfree and "special attacking absol"

[dim garnet]

blizzard misses really suck, so i recommend trying to rely on a different move if you can't correlate it with dynamax

[arctic pier]

So hopefully we can get like average luck

[dim garnet]

there's WAY more special debuffing than physical debuffing

so if you can get like, two metal sound/acid spray mons, absol could work

[acoustic spruce]

(Waiting for friend to join before I do)

[potent fern]

puts us at 29/69 🔥

[acoustic spruce]

The issue with absol is it dies in 2 hits

[dawn spire]

Ir friend joined

U got 30 seconds

[dim garnet]

this is why you need wide guard

[civic grail]

Still no luck with my double hunt

[dim garnet]

zygarde is guaranteed to use land's wrath every turn

and half of its moveset outside of that is spread moves

[potent fern]

which is 42%

[dawn spire]

yea the problem is getting the wide guard mon

[acoustic spruce]

Am I in

[dawn spire]

Nope

[dim garnet]

the only thing it can do to you with wide guard spam is max quake or max wyrmwind, both of which are fairly rare

[acoustic spruce]

Or was I too late

[arctic pier]

I quit in time

Let me open a new one

[acoustic spruce]

[dim garnet]

the best zygarde setup i've ever had was screech + wide guard + a-sandslash

[arctic pier]

Room up

[dim garnet]

with a helping hand boost

but it was absurdly specific

[dawn spire]

I don't think we're back

[arctic pier]

So cool man

[dim garnet]

grovyle/a-sandslash/jolteon/mantine

[acoustic spruce]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[civic grail]

jedi mispelled my name </3

[dim garnet]

grovyle would outspeed a-sandslash with screech and avalanche would flat-out oneshot zygarde on turn 2

[acoustic spruce]

Welcome back sigiliph

[arctic pier]

Shitmon olympics

[dim garnet]

sneasel, beartic and cryogonal are also incredible zygarde nukers

[dawn spire]

Left?

Not bc vespiquen is good. But the later right paths look bad

[acoustic spruce]

I think meeper has an aura of misfortune around him in relation to DA

[dim garnet]

flying is good vs the garde

flying is immunity to land's wrath

[acoustic spruce]

Between the disconnects and now these seeds

[dim garnet]

vespiquen tanks it

[dim garnet]

well like

it won't die

maybe

[arctic pier]

Thats true.

[acoustic spruce]

Revenge🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[arctic pier]

It does resist thousand arrows as well

[acoustic spruce]

Swagger zygarde it’ll work out

[dawn spire]

The problem is we have no big damage dealers

And there are none on this route looks like lol

Tanking damage only gets you so far otherwise

[acoustic spruce]

JYNX SAVE US JYNX

[arctic pier]

Who up gambling with the Science

[dawn spire]

Idk should I catch this?

Sharpedo is frail is my biggest concern

[arctic pier]

I guess just to have another shiny roll lol

It is better than sharpedo

[acoustic spruce]

I pass

[arctic pier]

TANGELA LEFT

[dawn spire]

Is that appletin

[acoustic spruce]

That’s whimsicott

I think

[arctic pier]

One of us is right

[dawn spire]

:ICANT:

Dyna is i think

[arctic pier]

I WAS RIGHT

[dawn spire]

NEVER MIND

[acoustic spruce]

😭

[arctic pier]

At last salvation

Katie should take this i think

[dawn spire]

GO MY BEES

[arctic pier]

Well wait what does trop kick do again

[acoustic spruce]

Lower attack

[arctic pier]

-1 attack but is that guaranteed

I forgor

[potent fern]

yep

[dawn spire]

Yeah

[arctic pier]

Is this better than me who has reflect and trick room (im never clicking trick room)

[potent fern]

prolly nto

[arctic pier]

Okay yeah so katie takes tangela

[civic grail]

thank you jedi btw <3

[acoustic spruce]

Katie says no

[potent fern]

you'll need at least 3 trop kicks to match reflect's power

[dawn spire]

Horrible luck on the para

[potent fern]

and then you have to keep using it

[dim garnet]

reflect is super good if you don't find wide guard

[arctic pier]

TSAREENA HAS AROMATHERAPY

HOLD

[dim garnet]

you can also get away with burn

[acoustic spruce]

Being fair also

[arctic pier]

MAYBE I SHOULD TAKE TANGELA

[acoustic spruce]

Tsareena has decent damage I think

[arctic pier]

Yea i'll take tangle then

[dawn spire]

Trop kick for zygarde seems good

Given the rest of our options lol

[acoustic spruce]

It’s not SE but it’s something

[dim garnet]

defense lowering is good

you could find sneasel later

[acoustic spruce]

Does scyther do anything

[arctic pier]

Does scyther have sd

[dawn spire]

The moves are pretty bad

[arctic pier]

He dont

[acoustic spruce]

I doubt it

[dawn spire]

No

[acoustic spruce]

What are they

[dim garnet]

it lives

[dawn spire]

Its 4 attacks

[dawn spire]

Yeah it's ass lol

[acoustic spruce]

Atrocious good lord

[arctic pier]

TECHNICIAN BOOSTED HOWEVER,

[acoustic spruce]

Wait……. Fury cutter into quick attack

Yeah aromatherapy is good

[dawn spire]

Who would even take it? Sigilyph is the best option I figure?

[dim garnet]

i think sigilyph had something good?

maybe it's just a flying move for fighting buzzwole

[arctic pier]

It has stab which you cannot say for many mons here

[dawn spire]

It's not better than sigilyph

[acoustic spruce]

The only thing sigilyph does is maybe drop special defense with psychic

But yeah

[dawn spire]

Looking at sigilyph's moves

[arctic pier]

GIGA CHOKE

[dawn spire]

LMAOOO

[acoustic spruce]

Goated

[dim garnet]

seismitoad :D

[dawn spire]

It would actually be so funny if dynas friend got it

[arctic pier]

@dawn spire how bad of a throw would swagger stun spore be

[dawn spire]

Tbh bro

It might be our only chance

[arctic pier]

LOL

[dawn spire]

We don't have shit for damage

[arctic pier]

Trop kick lowers attack if it gets out of hand Trust

[dawn spire]

I have swagger

[potent fern]

zygarde when it clears negative effects from itself

[dim garnet]

okay

i have to say something

we should make this a weekend event from now on

[dawn spire]

Should I max?

[dim garnet]

because zygarde is very much a long term hunt

[arctic pier]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh

Might be best if tsareena or sigilyph do

[dim garnet]

as someone who has been in the garde mines

[potent fern]

only if we dont get it

[dim garnet]

it'd be a good way for us to get together

a lot of irl friend meetups were under the pretense of chasing the garde

it's also HELL if you try to grind it out all at once

[acoustic spruce]

I don’t max do I

[arctic pier]

You can i think

[dawn spire]

Honestly it should be you

[arctic pier]

Only other option is tsareena

[dawn spire]

The others have moves with good utility

[arctic pier]

We need the damage

[dawn spire]

YES

[arctic pier]

SOME FORTUNE....

[acoustic spruce]

Huge

Oh well

Do I bother using steel spike again

[dawn spire]

Is it time for swagger

[acoustic spruce]

Or just damage

[dawn spire]

Honestly yeah

Mindstorm won't do that much more rn anyways

[arctic pier]

Maybe airstream for speed

[dawn spire]

Bro

[arctic pier]

TANGELA HAS PRETTY GOOD BULK I THOUGHT???

WHY DID IT DIE

[acoustic spruce]

Thanks man

[dim garnet]

because it was of feeble conviction

[acoustic spruce]

At least we eat land’s wrath well

[dim garnet]

tangela's a pretty good tank vs zygarde

and stun spore can tickle it a bit

[dawn spire]

I think it may unironically be time for swagger

[dim garnet]

no it isn't ❤️

[dawn spire]

Dude you are not in the fight

[arctic pier]

With no para ??

[acoustic spruce]

Swagger scares me

[arctic pier]

You're insane. Go for it actually

[dawn spire]

Idk man how else are we living

[dim garnet]

wait

it's your only cc?

[dawn spire]

We cant damage this thing at all

[dim garnet]

go for it

[arctic pier]

Yea we gotta

[dim garnet]

it'll cleanse its own attack buff i think

[arctic pier]

OH

[acoustic spruce]

HUGE

[dawn spire]

LMAO??

[arctic pier]

THAT COULD BE HUGE WITH SWAGGER

[acoustic spruce]

HUGE

[dim garnet]

maybe?

you guys should test it

my swsh knowledge is moldy rn

[acoustic spruce]

We might out tank zygarde

That does jack shit

[arctic pier]

TWICE IN A ROW?

Nooooooo

Has psychic spdef dropped a single time

[dawn spire]

This is a wild match

Idt so

LETS GO

PARA CONFUSE

[acoustic spruce]

Well if I run out of psychics I can go for flash cannon drops

I guess

TRAGIC

[arctic pier]

No more evasion sucks

[dim garnet]

just so you guys know, dynamax battles end after 10 turns automatically

[arctic pier]

WYRMWIND REALLY SUCKS

[arctic pier]

Somehow did not wow that sucks

[dim garnet]

so in situations where you get stuck in a stalemate zygarde knocks your lunch tray out of your hands and calls you a nerd

[acoustic spruce]

HUGE

[dim garnet]

and it makes you feel really bad but you can't cry or else kevin's gonna tell the whole school

[arctic pier]

parafuse 🔥

[dim garnet]

and you need to be strong and keep gambling and go back for it again

[acoustic spruce]

What turn is this then

[dawn spire]

Idk

[dim garnet]

at least 2

[dawn spire]

Probably like 7 or 8

[acoustic spruce]

lol

[arctic pier]

NOT WHAT WE NEED BUT THANKS KATIE

[acoustic spruce]

YIPPEE

1 drop finally

[dawn spire]

Haxed

Haxed

Holy shit

[acoustic spruce]

2

[arctic pier]

2 DROPS OKAY

[dawn spire]

Are we doing it

[acoustic spruce]

NOOO

[dawn spire]

Oh fuck

Dude how

[acoustic spruce]

ITS SO CLOSE MAN

[arctic pier]

FUCK

[acoustic spruce]

NOOOO

[arctic pier]

WE HAD IT

[dawn spire]

Rip

[acoustic spruce]

Fuck this game

[dawn spire]

No shiny

[arctic pier]

No shiny

Lowkey we kinda walled zygarde entirely we just did not have any form of offense

[dim garnet]

yeeah, that's the thing

you NEED a way to hit it

[dawn spire]

Yeah but we cant really do much if the game doesnt give us anything lol

[dim garnet]

and that's the issue

[arctic pier]

Room up

[dim garnet]

from my experience, it's not horrible to scout for zygarde

but it sucks until you get a good path

[dawn spire]

I think it's already joever.

[dim garnet]

well, wait until you see the mons on the path

[acoustic spruce]

Swampert the goat

[arctic pier]

This is actually not that bad

I mean compared to the usual fare

[dim garnet]

you can see through all of the fog clouds to see the mons

[arctic pier]

Go left

[dawn spire]

Dude we know

Pleasr

[arctic pier]

It has porygon

[dim garnet]

oh, sorry

i'll stop backseating

[acoustic spruce]

Everyone is here

Jynx scientist trust

You gotta get rid of chansey bro

That thing is dying turn 1 later 😭

[dawn spire]

Yea i don't see the chansey play lol

[dim garnet]

it does have helping hand

[dawn spire]

Max wyrmwind tank 🔥 🔥

[dim garnet]

but zygarde's gonna pop it like a balloon without wide guard

[arctic pier]

HEAL PULSE HELPING HAND SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME OKAY 😭😭😭

I probably should have taken diggersby.

[acoustic spruce]

Scientist?

[arctic pier]

right im gonna trade in my chansey

[dawn spire]

Is palpitoad really our best option here

[potent fern]

Dire sentence

[acoustic spruce]

Toxtricity time

Ok

[arctic pier]

What does he even do

[dawn spire]

Die

[dim garnet]

scientist bait

[acoustic spruce]

Why the hell is palpitoad in this mode man

[dawn spire]

Funny ass mon

[acoustic spruce]

Ok it’s significantly better than seismitoad move wise

[dawn spire]

Amoonguss is washed man wth was that

[arctic pier]

Why is vanillish in this mode and not vanilluxe

[acoustic spruce]

Just too strong

I pass I think

[arctic pier]

I guess it's better than armaldo? maybe?

[acoustic spruce]

Another one

[arctic pier]

Left always

[dawn spire]

PORYGOAT

[arctic pier]

IM TRADING AGAIN #WEBALL

[dim garnet]

vanilluxe with vanillish's moveset would have unironically been like, the best mon in the mode

[arctic pier]

Esp with snow warning

THE FUCK IS THAT

[dawn spire]

dude

[acoustic spruce]

HUGE

[dawn spire]

WIDE GUARD

FUCKING FINALLY MAN

[dim garnet]

AYO?

[arctic pier]

DOES IT HAVE THAT??

[dim garnet]

WHICH ONE?

[dawn spire]

Yes

Wait nvm

It doesnt lmao

[arctic pier]

HITMONLEE HAS IT ACCORDING TO TANKS LIST NOT TOP ..

#joeve

Its got triple axel though

[dim garnet]

hey

top is a super good ice attacker

[dawn spire]

This is still a bad route but

We have a chance at least

[dim garnet]

you guys have a very real chance of winning

with just ice spam

porygon/hitmontop/swampert

[acoustic spruce]

Is the play against zygarde on my end to use metal sound for Swampert blizzard

[dim garnet]

yeah, and porygon ice beam

y'all got this

[dawn spire]

Well I guess ill take it

[acoustic spruce]

Katie wants to dmax

Oh Swampert got wide lens

Which does more damage Swampert or porygon dmax

[dawn spire]

I have no idea tbh

[dim garnet]

porygon dynamax

[arctic pier]

Porygon i think

Its at +1

[dim garnet]

blizzard gets weaker when maxed

[acoustic spruce]

Oh right

[dim garnet]

it goes down to like 90 power

and porygon's hail will make blizzard 100%

[acoustic spruce]

DUDE

[arctic pier]

Holy fuck

[acoustic spruce]

LMAO

[dawn spire]

It doesnt

[arctic pier]

HOLY FUCK

[dim garnet]

it doesn't

[dawn spire]

LMAOOI

[dim garnet]

OOOOOOH

[dawn spire]

LETS GO

[acoustic spruce]

Is this the route

[dim garnet]

NIIIICE

YEAH KEEP THIS ONE

[arctic pier]

We literally 2hkoed it with porygon ice beam swampert max hailstorm

Holy free

[dawn spire]

It's peak?

[dim garnet]

was thinking of max knuckle and ooze

[dawn spire]

No shiny

:ICANT:

[arctic pier]

Nada

Okay i dced

The route should be saved then right

[dawn spire]

Yeah

[dim garnet]

yeah

[dawn spire]

We should be good to go

[acoustic spruce]

We just need to remember to do the same things

[dim garnet]

you do have to join with the same amount of players again though

and remember the order in which you chose each mon

[arctic pier]

Room up

[dim garnet]

both of those things change the rng of starting pokemon, ai mon swaps and scientist mon swaps

[acoustic spruce]

I guess there is some slight rng leading up to zygarde

[dawn spire]

Aa long as we can one shot zygarde it doesnt matter too much

[arctic pier]

How did i die i wasn't looking 😭

[acoustic spruce]

Move order doesn’t really matter though right

[dawn spire]

The biggest thing is dynamax turn order i feel like

Bc we got a good order with zygarde last time

[arctic pier]

Yea we want swampert or porygon maxed

I think either should 2hko but idk

If i take a pokemon i lose the route right

[acoustic spruce]

No take it

[dawn spire]

Like at results? Yeah

[arctic pier]

No i mean like at the end

[acoustic spruce]

Oh you mean that

Yeah

[arctic pier]

Duuuuude zygarde better be the one to shine.

I mean tbh i dont think i really care for any of these shinies

[dawn spire]

Meeper when I get a shiny porygon?

[arctic pier]

TRUEEEEE

[acoustic spruce]

At least it didn’t target Armaldo

[dawn spire]

What the hell is armaldo doing here was it in here last time

[acoustic spruce]

It was

It didn’t do anything

[dawn spire]

I was admittedly not watching at this part lmao

I guess it must have gotten subbed out quickly

Ohhh ok that makes sense

[acoustic spruce]

Thinking about it does hitmontop matter that much either way

I suppose it’s still extra damage

[arctic pier]

Probably not but intimidate helps maybe

[dim garnet]

it might be worth fucking with the rng a bit to see what else you can get

[arctic pier]

Who is up next in the rotation

Idk if i should max

I will stay unmaxed

[dawn spire]

I think it's me next

In the dmax rotation

[tough musk]

I don't know what you're up against rn but I believe in you
Kick that pokemon's ass

[dawn spire]

Shiny hunting bunnelby rn

[tough musk]

Kick that bunnelby's ass

[acoustic spruce]

Oh items changed

[potent fern]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-holy-grail-killer-gif-6118842

[dawn spire]

Got an expert belt

[dim garnet]

items are always random no matter what

they're the only variable part of this method

[dawn spire]

I'll just max i guess??

I can set up hail for blizz

And this should do 20 billion

[acoustic spruce]

FUCK

[dawn spire]

Nooo the miss is tragic

[acoustic spruce]

Next turn trust

[dawn spire]

Well we're still in a good position

[dim garnet]

just land the blizzard freeze

[acoustic spruce]

As long as the dmax rotation turn 1 lands on porygon or Swampert I think we’re pretty solid

[dawn spire]

Oh we win

[arctic pier]

Metal sound is massive

[dawn spire]

Probably

Lol

[potent fern]

How are the Klefki coming along btw TANK

[dim garnet]

i got to 180 tonight

[dawn spire]

Damn my porygon took like nothing wtf

[potent fern]

nice

[dim garnet]

no luck so far, but i'll just use sv if it comes to it

[dawn spire]

Did we lose guys before this

Oh we did, the chansey

Urgh

[acoustic spruce]

We still win

[dawn spire]

HOLY DURANT CLUTCH

[acoustic spruce]

Thank god

[arctic pier]

Okay i think after this i will Sleeping.

But i'll keep the route

[acoustic spruce]

No shiny

[arctic pier]

No shiny

[acoustic spruce]

Katie got porygon

lol

[dawn spire]

No shiny

[arctic pier]

LOL

[dawn spire]

Also lmao

[dim garnet]

massive w

apologies for not actually joining, and for backseating

[acoustic spruce]

So do we wait for meeper to wait up tomorrow

[dim garnet]

i'll be heading out as well

you guys could look for your own routes

it's possible to find solo-viable paths

[dawn spire]

Uhh we could try i guess but i don't have enough ore to make actually looking for a route worthwhile imo

Idk about you but since you recently depleted your ore i assume not

[dim garnet]

maybe you guys could try xerneas?

[acoustic spruce]

I have 58

[dawn spire]

I have 101

[arctic pier]

Xerneas is much easier yea, you can also do it in usum though

[dim garnet]

the first few quits don't take any, and each quit afterwards takes 1 more up to 10

[arctic pier]

We might have enough people tomorrow to octuple hunt zygarde LMFAO

[potent fern]

Taka said she’d take Xerneas at least

[dim garnet]

so you guys could probably get like 20-30 DAs out of 100 ore

i might be free for gardes tomorrow, depending on how much my cousin wants to play slime rancher and how i'm feeling after work

gotta get nso, but i have to do that anyways

[potent fern]

WTF

[civic grail]

second shiny riolu lol

[potent fern]

I dont think we evolved the other one did we

[civic grail]

I dont think so yeah

[dawn spire]

The pidgeot in front is funny too

[arctic pier]

Oh shit actually i will Not be able to do much zygarding aside from the early morning (9 am-2 pm estish)

[dawn spire]

[arctic pier]

Well actually i guess that's not that early

[dim garnet]

well, there's always later

[storm gyro]

i'm doing xerneas and yveltal in usum

[dawn spire]

Taka

I got yveltal

[dim garnet]

bad news taka

[dawn spire]

😭

[storm gyro]

no way nice

[dim garnet]

yeah

[storm gyro]

i can rng it then lul

[dim garnet]

like 50 resets?
