Ya know what I want?
For them to add in Audino.
And add in a rematchable trainer who uses all Audinos.
PURELY for easy EXP grinding
Frogman will make sure its not on any rematchable trainer
where is this animation from?
I would love that cuz there is no real area to level your mons
Blissey already exists. 😛
why not a blissey audino fusion XD
I am cool with whatever is added now since I got Goodra I am content
I got lycanroc tho
me just hoping Zygarde makes the cut
Necrozma, Zygarde, Lycanroc, and Goodra were my hopes. 3/4 aint bad, but imagine the 4/4
Unsure yet. A fair amount of new mons won't actually have new sprites at update. Hell, Lycanroc won't have custom sprites until the December pack since it was only announced this month unless they do a weird Lycanroc sprite pack to get some in sooner
Who doesn't tbf
so wait how do i get the new pokemon?
The update next weekend
ok sweet, hope that doesnt mean i lose all progress, but even if it does, cool
I got a random shiny rayquaza that I would rather not lose
wish there was a way to see what the sprites would look like for different shiny variants
you can keep your saves as usual, you just won't have met the new pokemon in the ealy game areas (assuming there are some) like you might have on a new run
ultra sun/moon credits
i hope the raffle winner picks something absurd. i'd love to see everyone freak out over luvdisc lmao
what if you were on a randomizer? do you re-randomize to get the new ones in certain routes?
that'd probably be a frogman question tbh. depends on hwo the randomizer works. you could probably visit the debugger dude in the center and re-randomizing would probably include the new pokemon?
although I certainly would need to catch more arceus, deoxys, rayquaza, etc. then
yeah Ill try that when it comes out
So any ideas for a good Froslass fusion?
Hydreigon and Rapidash are pretty cool
jirachi maybe
Porygon Z is always fun
See the problem is it's hard to deal with all the weaknesses ice types have
Best I've been able to get it down to is 3 super effective types
Chandelure would give you a ghost ice with flash fire
don't gotta worry about the weaknesses if oyu pair it with another glass canon and it kills everything in one shot 
what was the fastest ice type in IF before froslass got added again? because maybe you can kill two birds with one stone and get rid of secondary ghost typing for mono ice and speed control
...Weavile, maybe?
Same. I got my regi’s.
Regis was a big dub to be honest I like all three so I got hyped when I say them being added
I persevered weeks of regi haters.
Weavile is STILL the fastest ICe type, even with Froslass
idk how but I always forget about weavile
what the introduction of chien pao into gen 9 does to a mf (i have forgotten the panic that weavile caused my ground-spam teams in gen 8)
Fuse froslass with yanmega speed boost and make it the fastest ice type
Or you could fuse Weavile with Blaziken Speed Boost for the faster fastest Ice type
I got sharpedo so same lol. I do wish furfrou and purugly would've gotten in, but I can deal with just sharpedo.
There's a lot of popular mons I'm surprised didn't get in
And so many people acting like this is the only time new mons will ever be getting added to the game ever
I'm not sure if it's been officially said that there will be another poll
Eh there's no telling if/when it'll ever happen again
If there was a chance for more to get in, it’s probably just be a starter poll
That’s my guess
IMO that's like saying "They haven't officially stated if/when/where the next Olympic Games will take place so there probably won't be one"
purug has a hard enough time making it into vanilla pokemon rofl
i thought they said this was the absolute max they could put in? or did they change that stance?
Where tf did you hear that
Those are decided years in advance
It was an example off the top of my head, gimme time to come up with a better one
Except the Olympic games have a tradition and set schedule
I just though that's what they said prior to adding these, but I could be wrong lol. I was always told it was a spacing issue with the program they built the game on
This was the first time after years of "there will not be new pokemon so don't ask"
yeah, that's what i was primarily referencing. for years it was an absolute no due to "spacing and programming issues"
Until frogman discovered a way to code in all of the fusions that doesn't require them to have individual code slots, which in turn freed up a massive amount of room in the game.
I don't think it's expected that this is the last one, but we have no idea when or how any more will be added
I imagine there likely won't be another New Mons event for at least another year, but I'd be shocked and apalled if this were the last one
The lack of the Nebby line to go with Necrozma is definitely the part that annoys me the most
Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard repeatedly that they've already said that they're gonna add in the remaining starters at some point since they won the initial polls by a landslide, but didn't want 90% of the new mons getting added in this update to be just starters
Womp womp
Honestly I'd be pretty happy with the game even if it's the last time we get a new set of mons. It's a free game with already a few hundred thousand different lil dudes to play around with. You could probably play the game a few thousand times and have a completely unique team each time lol
obviously new pkmn are fun, but I'm defintiely more than happy with the game in its current state already
Man, I'd hate to have voted under the assumption there'd be more and learn that there's a good chance there might not be
I am pretty excited for Aurorus and Toxapex
But without any Word of Frog we can only guess, and of course people who's favorites didn't get in are antsy. A lack of certainty isn't the same thing as a certainty of lack, but with nothing to work with there's no good way to guess
i wonder if any of the new mons will be added to the gyms leader's teams? 
Unrelated but I was busy this weekend so I didn't get to see the doggo till today, but good doggo. Glad we got the two base forms
No Guard on a Rock type is pretty cool, especially with how bad the Rock type coverage is in this game
Gotta fight for Accelrock to stay a move expert move now though.
also the fact that almost no rock moves have 100% accuracy
I want to meet whoever at GameFreak decided that every single Rock attack should have <90 accuracy, so I can slap them
Hopefully it does
That's the main reason why rock types are so mid
Though, not getting Dusk does mean that if anyone wants Tough Claws the only option is the Barnicles lol
you could say rock moves have a pretty rocky chance of hitting
It is the will of the people.
It is Frog's game, but I do think we should be given a reason at the very least.
Oh wait, Power Gem exists guys.
You know, Power Gem. That one Special Rock attack.
On a type where there isn't a single mon with above 60 Sp.A
Unless they're a real gem.
i mean offensively it is technically the best since it's the only one that has more types weak to it than resist
And hey, speaking of Move Expert, at least Fairy/Rock and Steel/Rock get to use Diamond Storm.
Rock is newly famous for being one of only two types that would be supereffective against Arceus if Arceus were actually every type
damn it you reminded me that diancie didn't make it 
The other type is Fairy. Because of course it is.
If it did we would not have this, yet another reason to shake the server a little,
Also it's news to me that Fairy would be super effective.
wym, it's se on fighting, dragon and dark but resisted by steel, poison and fire?
I think it's neutral
ye that's what im saying, fairy does not have more se hits than resists
Im just thinking that, shit don't add up
There's at least 3 Rock types with over 60 spA that learn Power Gem. Lunatone has 95
hey diancie has 100!
And that's in its non-mega form, the girl is a menace
Two of which aren't in the game lol, and Probopass barely counts
Though, I do find it funny that you're still usually using Diamond Storm because even if it's reliable, Power Gem isn't the highest base power
Even though Diamond Storm is physical
i think rock types definitely suffer from being an og type + not being very popular, so a lot of their older moves just... haven't been revamped or given much love lol
which is can be good against special walls like chansey
and diancie has equal offensive stats
That's fair, it just makes the mon pretty tricky to build since you value pretty much every stat
Power gem used to be a cosmetic based move when it was introduced
too bad the loss of her mega kinda destroyed her viability
rock types are to types as flareon is to the rest of the eeveelutions lmao. Opportunity to be great, but gets very little love from gamefreak
All-type Arceus is immune to Poison because it's also part Steel type, making the score 3/2 in Fairy's favor
Oh speaking of Rock-types, I once had an idea for a Rock-type move.
that's not how resistances work breh
That is exactly how resistances work
An Electric/Flying type is immune to Ground despite being part electric
Yeah it's unfortunate they're given no love
Nah you're forgetting something
bro what does that have to do with fairy
I call it "Rock Biters", referencing that many Rock-types are lithovore rock eaters.
"The user crushes the target between rock-hard teeth, sometimes lowering its defense."
80 base strength, contact move, physical, 100 accuracy.
Still wild that bug was the worst offensive type in gen 5 and they decide to make it worse in gen 6
a steel poison type doesn't lose it's poison resistances because it's immune to it's own type
And yes it'd be a bite-move, meaning Tyrantrum's ability would affect it.
I will never understand why Pokemon was so stingy with Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher
Mega launcher gets plenty nice support.
2 whole pokemon, one of which is a mega
Finally tyrantrum gets a stab move off of strong jaw
Mega launcher only works on 6 moves
Like, it took us until gen 8 to get a Pokemon with 2 stabs for Strong Jaw and we still don't have something like that for Mega Launcher
7*
Could also work as an option for many other Rock-types, Lycanroc for example would make total sense, meaning Dusk could get a stab-move that benefits from Tough Claws.
Also very pog
Oh wait I see. Hold up. Yeah you're right.
I got my wires super crossed. This is what I get for trying to do math at 11 at night
fire
Iron first is like the lowest percentage for boosting abilities
It should get a buff to 35% because Tough claws is better in every way
That's a good point, Iron Fist has been around for ages and its always been pretty meh
So meh, that they turned it into an item that you can't even stack lol
Wait you can't stack it??
They tend to be 90BP with an enhanced crit ratio
Rip HA infernape
Contrary infernape when
Why is Infernape's HA Iron Fist again?
Did Sun Wukong famously like to punch people?
They should give lanturn Tail glow and Regenerator
A lot of the older pokemon need buffs in general cus they're way too weak compared to newer ones that have up to 100 higher bst than them
Would be nice if close combat at least counted for iron fist considering even meteor mash does
Things like staraptor and arcanine learn close combat so maybe they don't consider it just punching
More so troll them with clones and bop them on teh head with his staff.
Also barraskewda
Close Combat is described as "An all-out assault at close range without guarding itself".
So by definition it does not require punching to be involved, it just so happens that most mons that learn the move attack by punching
I think the worst starter HA is blastoise rain dish or swamperts damp
Meganium’s leaf guard
I stand corrected
Meganium moment.
so i don't remember/know, are the new pokemon actually in the game rn? like, the version you get now when downloading it
Not yet
no, should be next weekend
so next weekend would be a possible game update?
or maybe this weekend? next is kind of subjective. like, if i say next tuesday, that could be tomorrow OR next week, right? 
'cause i've been sorting out the sprites for the pokemon which is taking a while and i've just been dropping the new pokemon sprites into a different folder
next year :D
This Saturday or sunday
hey tbf, that's not too far away at this point! 2024 is upon us soon 
According to the announcement, it should be this weekend
Hm... thinking about my Primape/Scolipede moveset... is there a way for it to obtain Aqua Tail, since it is normally gained via move tutor.
Maybe a move tutor... it definitely had it in gen 7
Scolipede is going to be fun fusions
I feel like it and gyarados will go well together
Yeah exactly, but was there one in the game?
In the sevii island there should be
If there is then I cannot find it on the wiki.
Well, here are my current thoughts before I head to bed.
if dusk isnt gonna make it, then midday's hidden ability should be tough claws instead of steadfast
Never thought I'd see a Refrigerate Boomburst in years
Bro bout to create the ice age
Screamed so hard the mcdonalds ice cream machine worked again
So this is why they kept it out of order, it was too powerful.
And yeah, moves with two options are unconfirmed to be supported next version.
Also "Spectral Arrow" is supposed to be Spirit Shackle.
Will all the sprites posted in gallery this week be added to the update this weekend?
Y'know, I do wonder if they're gonna wait till next sprite pack
The reason I was think they will include this week is because all the lycanroc fusions are in it
So we aren't getting the only version that would introduce a new ability?????
How cringe
i mean it wasnt in the lycanrock part of the poll so its unfair to expect it if it wasnt there
Lycanroc is definitively a great addition
Just that if all 3 forms couldn't make it in I wish dusk replaced mid day because of tough claws and a brighter colour palette
Though I get mid day is like the standard Lycanroc form
I have a question about the future update it's "only" new pokemon added that you can find in the grass or is there new content in the story with news zones, trainers and events?
i dont think they said anything about where they will be found that im aware of
We honestly don't know 100%
My thoughts exactly
We're definitely going to get events or something for the legendaries, but in terms of story or quests we have no idea
I don't think the devs have spoken on it, but there is precedent for changing/adding abilities on pokemon. Snow Warning on Deliberd and Mummy on Unown for example
UNOWN HAS MUMMY WHAT
Yeet, it's a HA
see i avoided unown like the plague so thats new to me. baller
I can also see dusk form being an alt sprite for midday, and for fusions to use dusk's color scheme
100% someones gonna make an alt sprite
I can't wait to see the raffle winner raffle some feathers 
Cuz you know that no matter what it is, it's gonna get hate for being the last one
ill proably be fine with whatever they choose as long as it isnt like furfrou
Everybody avoids it
It's literally the worst pokemon of all time
I'll be doing a randomizer still, but I might just swap sableye's other half whenever it faints, or I get another one of the added 45.
Ok thanks it'll be a surprise next week haha
It'd be cool if all the added pokemon were static encounters so I could do a randomizer, but still have them locked in place and easy to find.
my guess itll be a sprinkle of a bit of everything: static, added to existing routes, maybe a radar encounter
I only know where to find trubbish and sandyghast
But those are the pokemon the spriters have to be the most creative with.
NO BRUXISH
unless youre planning on getting every mon from gens 1-7 in game i dont want bruxish
As a spriter, don't put that evil on me 
i hope they dont add oranguru and passimian
theyre such nothing filler pokemon
would not miss them
carbink line you can ditch
diancie basically outclasses it
none of the pokemon I voted for have been added yet ;0;
there are some random normal type mammals that rent really necessary to the game, it be fine to leave those out
oh im sorry to hear that
which pokemon were you hoping for
Tsareena was my number one pick. plus a bunch of others from the sun/moon era.
oop, I take that back, the sand castle is in
yeah gen 7 has a lot of cool pokemon aside from bruxish lol
no argument there, bruxish is wretched.
i was personally hoping for lurantis and some ultra beasts but i doubt itll happen
yeah
still holding out a bit of hope for it
but ultimately ill be at least a little happy for any pokemon that gets in
have you seen the lobster with the giant claw? I wanted that mon in
also Dewpider because it's cute
the clauncher line? yeah that looks cool
Clawitzer is one that I'm surprised didn't get in
pure water has a lot of competition so its ability and move pool are really the big draws to it outside of visuals
Someone was saying that origin pulse would work with its ability
I'm surprised there's no Golisopod
Honestly same
That's the one guy I thought was definitely getting in
Oh boy. Deoxys + Necrozma is going to be amazing
no one started it yet, what idea do you have in mind for the sprite? :o
Off the top of my head it would be Deoxys wearing Necrozma-like armor (like solgaleo and lunala do) and maybe doing something with the Orb on Deoxy's chest in relation to being a light source. Seeing as Necrozma goes after light energy
Deoxy's body could be lighter tone to reflect its form now being pure light energy
Which also happened to these two in the main game.
The formes would absolutely affect the placement and shape of the armor too. Maybe Defense Forme would have the bulky Necrozma arms and claws. Similar to how bulky looking Defense Deoxys is
what's xlr8?
Ben 10 alien
I think I overdid it 😂
The orb in the jaw piece is a solid idea
jaw piece?
Yeah Necrozma's chest in its prism form is the jaw/upper mouth of its Ultra Form
Not having all the Lycanrocs is a little dissapointing
But like bro could have chosen Bruxish to mess with us we're in a good timeline
Yeah the new additions to the roster are insane. Going to be some amazing fusions
Super Happy the Regi Trio got in the door
Lycanroc is spriters vote, which is essentially a majority vote, so Bruxish had no chance.
We still have contest raffles to fck up
It just takes a troll to win
Nope, that was Spriter's Choice
The Raffle is the contest winner one
Wait so is the disco guy the contest winner or was he spriter's choice
Ok I checked Rockruff was spriter's choice but was that their vote or no
discoblob was the trev rush winner
they got thrown into the winner's raffle which hasn't been held yet
Are these Pokémon added in an update or are they just being announced?
Added on Saturday I think
What’s already been added?
again, check the announcements
How long have we been getting reveals for the expanded dex like 4 months now
I did it doesn’t say
None, nothing, nada. They're all getting dumped at once and may not be wise to use for a while they are extremely likely to not have custom fusions
yep, doesn't say at all
I’m not talking about rockruff, I saw that I’m talking about mostly necrozma
K, that’s all I needed to know
um
that is accurate...give or take
I checked it's 3
aug>sept>oct>nov
I mean November hasn't really happened yet it's only been 3 full months
Someone said they dislike furfrou I am voting furfrou 3 next time
I think I'm the only person who genuinely voted high for Furfrou lmao
I mean
Yeah it's just a dog but it's gimmick is it's hairstyles which I think would be fun to sprite 
I had other stuff... Had to sabotage competition somehow. But I think out of the dogs is solid. Anything is more solid than. Mannectric. It has a good ability
I repeat me no likey Electric dog
That was uncalled for
If they are a ghost I can pet em, evil I can give them a treat, fairy I'll get cursed but it's worth it. Electric and fire ouch my hand
Seriously though, I really hate the stuff they make for electric dogs
I'm pretty sure you mixed up some of those types
Ghost can become tangible maybe
Fairies are mischievous
Dark they are just grumpy.
Only if you give them negative energy
Ghosts literally curse things
I prefer ghosts anyway, it's sweet how they'll hang around you even dead
Greavard literally sucks the life out of you
What did I need the life for without dogs anyway?
Other dogs
But you know it's dumb cuz many pokemon have things that kill you and yet they dont
Like slurpuff and manectric
Slurpuff, leave manectric in the doghouse
I'm just holding on hope for serperior line to be added.
Excited to see all the sandcastles people make with palossand
Seriously almost anything works for dogs except for electric I don't know why
Might just be you
Like electric I tend to image felines not dogs
By the way I don't know if it counts but raikou is the only one of those and I don't know if it counts as a cat or what
Seems like a you thing
The update drops next weekend?
Given the size of his fangs, I'd call him a feline
I THOUGHT IT DROPS IN MAYBE LIKE DECEMBER OR JANUARY
Nope next week
I wonder how long did this even take
Man if I had a nickle for every two stage line of electric canine Pokémon, I would have two nickles. Which isn't alot but it's weird it's happened twice
About a month and 3 weeks
3 months and some change
This all started at the beginning of august
Yeah I don't know why they repeat it, there is not a lot to explore. Also boltund dog is worse than a wolf in England of all places
That's just gen 8 being gen 8
They should have made a wolf in London pokemon for galar
Like you ain't gonna get to add the European wolf unless you use the Germany or italian area anymore
We got some bangers as soon as they removed the bri'ish
Bri'ish theme can suck it. Only the fairytale were worth it. UFOs and radiators too
I was just typing out something for orbeetle
Hell legends are the most basic ones shame they are wolves
I can read minds gage
Like I said, as soon as the British guy on the team was gone we got some bangers
Was there one? Is that why the Ed Sheran at the credits?
Orbeetle is unironically the best route 1 bug type pokemon so far in my opinion
Nah, James turner
He left game freak after gen 8
Welp now we get more bangers, no offense to the British but Jesus do they suck coming up with new stuff
That's why they steal everyone else's stuff to put into their museums
Funny we got not so many museum stuffs in the bri'ish region.
Like the legends are legends they are prophecies yadeee yadaaaa I played black I know what a true legend foreshadowing is.
Like the second gym you see the special orb being called meaningless it's hilarious
Eh what's to lose? They smell bad anyways
I don't really like the Gen 8 starters
But Seriously people wanna complain about lacking originality just look at Zacian and Zamazenta and tell me those are good
Like goddamn Reshiram and Zekrom look more like a duo, those doggos are so bad dude
Because black & white
No wonder they reverted back to time stuff for gen 9
Next Gen I want magic and might honestly, those are more opposing. Or brawn and brain.
say what you want about the bugs and glitches
Bugs rock
Glitches are just a guy playing with his hardware too much
theres some peak designs in gen 9
Hell yes
YESSSS I love it.
Like opera cocodrile? Magician cat? Festival Donald Duck? SIGN ME IN FAM
while i never used him, i love how much of a sub-subversion skeledirge is
Its why he is the best modern starter honestly. Just on point.
Lokix, Tinkaton, the past paradox mons, Iron Valiant, the starters, hell Valuza looks really cool with it taking itself apart like that
Granted Galar unfortunately keeps one of the better regional birds
that, and depending on how you look at him, someone will always be triggered
The weekend that is next to arrive
Saturday/Sunday so in about a work week
because as it turns out, in specifically a spanish context, crocs got a lot of ties to snakes, do with that information as you will
so this week's weekend?
Actually find it funny that is a fact Crocs actually get along with a good amount of animals
theyre pretty social
Sorry for the confusion tho cuz they posted that on monday at my time 
Bruh I picked Fuecoco because they are an incredible derp and immediately stole my heart. The burnt orange was the cherry on top
Time traveler teach me your ways
i went for meowscarada, i love the phantom thief asthetic
It is great and quite a bit of what delphox should have been like
Japan lives 1 day ahead from america so they time travelled during pe-
i do wish meow was a special attacker tho, havent had a dedicated special attacking grass type starter, without a hidden ability, since gen 3
They wake up looking at the screaming sun
And when they became a crocodile with a baby bird that doubles as a rocket on its snoot she became my top favorite starter
I was actually quite disappointed with arboliva kinda expected more.
Its a new typying combo but like... It just don't get me excited
I think the spicy twins are nice tho
Sawsbuck is just a freaking gem aesthetically and gameplay is fun.
I kinda wish arboliva just get grassy surge instead of seed sower
Something thats not Monkey for once as a grass setter
I don't really like Arbolivia. Though it wasn't a nuzlocke, they did cause my Naclstack to faint in a big battle
Sucks. I love naclstack
garganacl tho
I love that whole line, is just pleasant to look at.
So straight to the depths of the PC with them
Unrelated, Triple quadruped canine fusion
Growlithe, Houndour, Rockruff
this is just nice too look at you know?
Ive come to like garganacl
hes very funny, and I dont mean in a minecraft way
After they put Minecraft in smash, it was only a matter of time before they added it to pokemon 
little troublemaker looking nice
I wasn't sure about Nacli since they were a Mario mushroom, but after seeing Garganacl they got me
meanwhile I was the reverse where I wanted more mushroom but instead golem. I don't dislike garg and we still got a mushroom buuuuut
oh neat this one is animated
He do be looking fine
This was the only one I could find
also arbo's one of those "...why is this normal typed?" mons alongside the helios for me
the more you look at them the more you wonder why it took so long.
I like to image one day there will be a plant/electric potato pokemon, I can dream
The day they make the tortilla pokemon it'll be water/plant
IDC about the designs, I just love the names
The only non Gen 9 mons I had were Hypno & Seviper named Lost Cause & Excalibur respectively
Wattato
Killowattato
Gigawattato
Perfeto
It writes itself
We have our line
It'll be a funny line that would be great not gonna lie.
Absolutely
Imagine gigawattato is just a bunch of the potato pokemon attached like a freaking mecha
And they all just say tato tato tato as they attack
Honestly kinda surprised there isn't a potato Mon yet
Although I feel like if there was an official one it would be Grass/Ground
I know right kinda goofy for how common they are
I think the dragon fruit pokemon is way more off. That one would be not dragon exactly
More like... Maybe.... Rock or steel
For the simple fact you get them from cactus
Actually how would you type that one?
We got apples out of that way what fruits can they mess around with?
There’s still not a platypus pokemon, which is like the closest animal irl to a pokemon if you ask me
Counterpoint the mother freaking hummingbirds sound like a pokemon and I ain't seeing them
Like a little bird that flies ultrafast and just goes shlllllrp out of people is something I haven't seen
Deadliest beak in the old west
With speed boost
And baton pass
Isn't that Golduck?
Spoink moments
spoink
spoink
Spoink IS a hummingbird
I think it's interesting that if you think about it Spoink calls into question the nature of pokeballs
Are they and their bodies put into stasis inside the ball or is there space to move around
hummingpig
I've heard the new Pokemon anime shows what the inside of a pokeball looks like
I haven't watched it yet myself though
No golisopod :(
im guessing no new pokemon anymore?
buwomp
Last one is the rafflepick
oh cool
Rockruff is... Fine I guess
Doesnt give a lot of new shapes or concepts for spriters to work with
They're probably put in stasis. They're shrunk in the pokeball, but generally should still be able to keep themselves going
We do know Pokémon are concious of their sorrounding in a Pokéball though, and can exit them at will.
if nothing else its just another dog to fill out the roster some more
I think it’s pretty good
It's cute, but with how many sprites are needed for a single mon, having spots that dont bring anything to the table...
Yeah I like rockruff but I have to admit it was a pretty boring choice, I was more excited for the possibility of accelerock than it itself
Not to hate on the spriter choice or anything it coulda been worse
Ironically we used to have Accelrock as a move expert option, and may loose it now since Lycanroc is in the game.

wait, no dawn doggo?

he'll likely end up as an alt
Could fuse Midday and Midnight versions to get Dusk.
Just checked and it's been made https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1171322909004935169
but it wouldnt have dusks best feature
oh yeah
isnt there one more mon? like there was a spriter poll, but wasnt there a raffle too?
Yes
I believe what's chosen in the raffle will probably be put into a random choice selection thing
?
at least that's what the wording came off as
i mean the winner of the raffle will be random, but the mon they choose won't be; from what i've heard second hand; winner's make a list of mons
they have their "top pick" which is "this is the thing I would want in, no questions asked", and then they also pick back ups just in case the mon they had in their top slot is revealed via the community poll, or as a bonus
aa I see
i assume that for the earlier winners that'd be more problematic because who knows how far down that list they had to go...or if they had to make a new one because everything they wanted got in
but Disco and Xeno have the advantage in that only 1 mon got revealed
Btw Is this the last time we get new pokemon added to the game?
maybe
I've still got a lot of Pokémon i'd really like to see
–––––––––––––––
Archeops
Beheeyem
Clawitzer
Drampa
Drapion
Durant
Eelektross
Excadrill
Golisopod
Mienshao
Vikavolt
Xurkitree
its not set in stone that no more will be added after this
thanks to how the game now sees fusions; we technically have room for like a lot more generations of mons
the main factor in getting more is time
Honestly im surprised there's been little to no vikavolt support
the only mons that have a higher chance of getting added in are the Gen 5, 6 and 7 starters
we made it abundantly clear we wanted them
Good to know theres a chance for espurr to still make it lol
It is definitely nice, but there is others we wanted more direly first.
there will probably be more pokemon added in the future, just may be a few months out or so once Frog is motivated and personally wanting to add more
I don't mean just now, i mean in general, throughout the months
I thought vikavolt was pretty popular
well without them posting the poll results, we'll never know [and Hypnotoad only did that partially once to let us know the starters got dq'ed]
Yup. Dq'd with a possibility of them being added in the future
I'd imagine after the raffle pokemon, the starters would probably all be added next
Maybe frog Will just pick a set to add now and the other 2 will come later
That'd probably cause more friction then it'd be to add all of them as a group in a few months time
Having contests for each set of starters leading up to their release
^
with Gen 6 leading the charge in that regard since they had the highest vote of the starters
So. Unova Starter Contest: about two weeks, giving people chances to do fusions for the Unova starters.
Then Kalos Starter contest, 2 weeks. Then Alola Starter Contest
Doing it in order of generations is thematically more interesting, at least to me.
eh...I'd rather they add them in order of popularity than generation
long as there is like a 3-4 month gap inbetween them being added
Well. In truth it doesn't matter who goes first
Since they all arrive at the same time. For all we know, the Alola group will go first
also contests usually only last 1 week tops [barring rush events]
Actually. It could be instead be based on the typings
Though. Grass starters would probably be a bit more popular thanks to Decidueye and Serperior
.. speaking of snake pokemon. Something I been mildly unhappy about. Just turning humanoid fusions with Arbok into humanoids with snake lower halves instead of adapting the tail and head into the design
So. Random thought. Would Lurantis take in nutrients from prey slain via the scythes or does it have a hidden mouth
it definetly has a mouth!
I'd like the alolan set first, theyre the coolest available set
They only just started asking winners for their choice after the trev winner reveal
So the only mon they could have gotten wrong at the time is Lycanroc
Golduck is a duck. It’s literally in the name
Just because it has a bill does not mean it’s a platypus
Womp : (
Imagine if they chose a first, second and third stage of the starters
All of them from different starter families
"We are adding Fuecoco, and no other starters"
nothing from gen 8+
Except Fuecoco. 😉
So, are we getting the last line's reveal before the update?
I got a friend asking when will the new PKMN be added, if we know
Soon!
within the next 20 seconds, got it
TBF they're probably going to do an @.everyone for it's release, but I just needed to make sure I didn't miss it when life was happening
Any idea how Necrozma's transformation is gonna work ?
I heard it's linked to an item you need to carry or something like that
It’s next weekend
This coming Sunday
thanks
Will all the announced pokemon be in the next update? Or will it be a few at a time?
soooo no mightyena. Heartbroken
By the looks of it, all of them
I'm so hoping its all of them, I'm excited for Froslass and Altaria
all the announced mons will be added in this weekend
the only thing not included in this update will be the winner's raffle mon, which will get added in a bit later
Damn, theyre rolling out the new version that fast?
good, i'll be able to ask youtubers to show my fusions early
Did they confirm that the raffle winner wont get in
how to get new pokemon
Catch them. (:
Well yes but does that nessesarily mean that its not in the update
i mean most of the new additions were simple tosses into route encounters, only legends had extras
given the update is coming this weekend
and of those necrozma was the problem child since its the first itteration of battle form shifting
i expect a smaller update for whatever the reveal mon is, because they will need to change things to add whatever it is to the game
right now you don't as they aren't in, once the update is out and they are in, yeah, just go find em and catch em
except for the legendaries all the new mons will be in the current routes as encounters
we dont know how to get the regis
but we do know we'll get necrozma after doing a questline specific to him
I mean they probably know the winner already meaning they can add the location fot the mon
We even know what quest etc
yea im guessing it'll be a "find me if you can" for the mon in the raffle where we dont know what it is until we find him in game
and then after a bit they'll actually reveal him
Exactly
Thats what I expect
Would be weird to let the raffle winner wait
Even more since the contest they won are about the pokemon in this update
Im mostly talking about the new fusion sprites
i mean a lot of new mons won't have fusion sprites
at least not custom ones anyway...no idea on auto-gen stuff since i think they are trying to move away from that
Well everything we got in October wont have sprites
Except they upload every new mon sprite we got until thr update
Not what I heard, last I heard they were reworking the system, but that might be out of date, and considering the vagueries of my recollection it could very well be a falsified memories
Anyone got something they can point towards on this?
You are not wrong, they are getting rid of dynamic and moving towards preloaded I believe.
Sweet, my brain ain't completely fried
Because every new pack requires a new download. Preloaded doesnt have that issue. The file just gets bigger on its own
There's loads of sprites for the new mon already in your custombattlers folder if you have the most recent packs. They just can't be sorted until the base pokemon are in the game.
So will we no longer need to download sprite packs?
Looks like we won't get Poochyena for a while because of Rockruff :c
yeah itd be a tad redundant
Now that data limitations aren't that strict, I wonder what cat Pokemon we will get first. Skitty, Glameow, Purrloin, or Espurr?
preloaded doesn't exist anymore
preloaded stopped being a thing early on in 5.3; all downloads are dynamic now
honestly i dont have strong opinions on any of the cat pokemon
i guess skitty would be nice so then people could make more skitty/wailord memes lol
meowth/persian is the only one we need out of that list
the fat cat is kinda funny
i just know thered be a ton of garfield memes if another cat got in
probably with purrugly
Skitty doesn't need Wailord.
Purrloin would probably be too boring but Espurr is pretty cool. I don't like it being 2D though.
Normalize would be cool to play around with. Make some super optimal bombs
What are the odds we get evolutions to existing pokemon like ursaluna, annihilape or kingambit?
In what sense?
all the alternate terrain setters are after gen 7 so just the tapus and those are probably very late game
no pinchurchin gaming
gow many of the 20 do we have left?
none, we have all the 20 revealed
full list of vote picks and bonus picks are in the pins
That's just because Necrozma was in the works before a lot of the bonus mons
check the pins, we have all the numbers from 421-465 accounted for
4 more and than we get to funny number
I think the Trevanent Rush raffle winner is the only thing we possibly have left if that was different from the spriters choice?
Is dusk form planned at some point or is it not included since it’s a form? For lycanroc*
Its being excluded because it would be almost impossible to differentiate from Midday in fusions
its not like ultra necrozma its a 3rd evolution route
Dusk form is pretty much a fusion of midday and midnight
has some one already made it a fusion
No like in general
It would be nice to give Midday Tough Claws instead of Keen Eue
Does anything have tough claws in the game yet?
It has Gen 7 data so its in there
I dont think we have Barbaracle though which is the only other non-Mega Gen 6/7 mon with it
So every gen 7 ability is programmed in the game
Oh that’s right, it’s an evo route, yeah tough claws would be nice
So minior would be that hard to add
We have Aegislash, so Minior ain't that much harder
Now we just need wishiwashi for even more form change shenanigans
Rip hangry morpeko
Man isn't even allowed to Nuzzle me, it's so sad
long story short, when Frogman was working on the game, he modified the then most recent version of essentials, and HEAVILY modified the code.
Essentials V19 and V21 both overwent extensive coding and file overhauls, which breaks Fusions.
With V19 and V21 both introduced Gen 8 and Gen 9 respectively.
Now, the amount of work to Recode Fusions or to back code Essentials V21 is something Frogman isn't willing to tackle, so he just said. "Got it, We're just gonna cut it off after Gen 7.
So any Pokemon (Even evolutions) aren't getting added if they are after Gen 7
ok, pinging you in like 2 years
Well if it’s gonna take a massive amount of effort to incorporate Gen 8+ content then I get why the cutoff was gen 7
You just need to translate the code from Essentials back to V18
Then translate that to Frogman's sphagetti code
Sounds awful lol
Maybe some day in the far future someone with godlike programming skills can take all the code and stuff and incorporate Gen 8+ into the game
Well its all public domain so its just a matter of if someone has the time/energy
heck in doing so they could probably get a pokemon of their choice from those two gens into the game immediately 
Whoever makes it possible gets 5 slots to themselves
i see necrozma made it yes i'm late but that makes me happy
I mean there are a bunch of mons from Gen VIII and IX without any unique mechanics that could easily slot in
So there's still hope for bruxish is what you're saying /hj
like if you wanted to put in idk Orbeetle its not like it has a type/move/ability that isn't already in the game
If the suggestion for psychic fangs gets approved no.
You mean my suggestion?
Unless Bruxish wins the raffle, add Psychic Fangs to the Move Expert on Knot Island, available to any Psychic-type fusion able to learn Crunch - by Frostyke Lovers gang
If you mean this one yes
Currently at 27 btw
Yes i do mean this one, im happy someone cares about it
Ah I forgot brux had a signature ability 
Like psychic fangs is about all I would like of Bruxsish. Nah dazzling is kinda meh
Like priority moves aren't too powerful you know
question do we have hurricane in the game?
Also, im not sure it can be called a signature ability tbh when there was another ability with the exact same effect introduced in the same generation
Yes....?
Why wouldn't it be?
just read a suggestion that said airslash was the strongest flying type move currently in the game
Ah that's because Hurricane is massively unreliable
yeah but still stronger
And therefore often dq'ed from the contest
crazy
Just going through Bulbapedia and checking against their abilities and if they have a unique move, you could introduce the following Pokemon from Gen VIII and IX without any additional coding.
Gen 8: Greedant, Orbeetle, Thievul, Eldegloss, Dubwool, Boltund, Centiskorch, Hatterene, Falinks, Indeedee, Copperajah, Duraludon
Gen 9:Lokix, Squakabilly, Klawf, Cetitan, Clodsire, Dundunsparse
i think gen 6 as well, might need to check
also Wrong chat guys ¯_(ツ)_/¯
greed, eldegoss, dural, klawf, and technically boltund all have new abilities
i want that tombstone dogs move
you ain't gettin them
houndstones move
100% not happening
lets say 99%
No
Let's say 100
Dev made it clear

Wait Boltund has Strong Jaw and Competitive
which are both Gen VI abilities? How are they new?
i never understood how steelix hasnt gotten strong jaw
like it is the mon with the biggest jaw
Ah Yamper has the useless ability that changes on evo, I forgot Ball Fetch
okay aside from guzzlord
okay i want torkoal as a new mon
We have turtles
We have fire types
Honestly if you really want a torkoal you could just make one lol
Never had a strong opinion on torkoal
It’s nice to have a fire/rock type but that’s really it
its pure fire
It is?
If wishiwashi got in do you think it’s transforming mechanic would be like necrozma where it can transform in battle
i mean aegislash has a form change but doenst change sprites
wishiwashi would be cool though
Could have some creative fusions where the little fish group up to form the shape of different Pokémon
aegislash was in before battle form shifting was a thing
i don't think he'll change though
so does necrozma actually change its body or is it seperate and you give it an item ot transform?
if what I saw in the discussion is still accurate:
Have Necrozma
Give Necrozma specific item
Have Necrozma use specific move
It form shifts into Ultra Necrozma
Yeah that makes sense
interesting
honestly even if i want some mons in i dont feel super strongly about them
Changes form yea
lol
but U Necroz will be a battle only state
them getting this sorted means other battle state mons can be added in the future
all like 1 or 2 of em
Imagine double u necrozma
the wings actually attach to the body
megas!
Will aurorus be rock / ice or will they switch it to ice / rock
Which are those?
How about Giratina, palkia and dialga's alter forms?
If they add wishiwashi I hope they use it's school form stats instead of the regular one
Wish would be one hell of a difficulty spike I, like you have to shape every pokemon into million of fishes, I know I wouldn't have patience for that.
It'd be more like scale patterns.
i would try it once i think
If you use it to shape stuff like a green lantern ring it would be sick
well yeah definitely
cause like no one would use it if it had crap stats all the time
i guess people could also go for submarine sprites
Just an idea for how it could be done without being too rough
with wishiwashi we could do a dr seuss reference with like smeargle or something
one fish
two fish
red fish
blue fish
that plus registeel or something i could imagine would look awesome
yeah honestly id just treat school wishiwashi as a giant fish with a unique pattern and a few small fish trailing it
I think this fanart is great
Yeah, just have the smaller fish be shaped into something else
I think if they treated like an evolution it might not be bad
okay name a if mon pls
Jynx ||Get jinxed||
magikarp/wishiwashi could be a bunch of magikarp taking the form of a gyarados
What do you guys think a school wishiwashi/school wishiwashi fusion would look like?
hmm something else? 😄
gardevoir
Roserade
BIGGER FISH
i need something more animal like
A kraken made out of wishiwashi
how about torterra
For what
Giant terrifying, nightmare, fish
Womp womp
ok how about monferno
Houndoom?
Haxorus
Kinda mad I realized Gen 5 has almost 0 animal mons in.
Lanturn
perhaps i go with lanturn
Is there a hydreigon torterra fusion that's just a land full of hydra heads?
The gen 5 fossils are good ones but they're not in the game
dont think so
not yet at least
That sounds really goofy
It is more than I expected. Also the reverse has no sprite
I was thinking more wack-a-mole style heads
That would be an alt for a whack a mole
Maybe a darksouls fusion reference with the weirdo darksseekers?
that sounds more fitting with dugtrio
Anyway we talking about washiwishi
wishiwashi would play really well with the fish pokemon
have the small fish form the shape of their evolution
found his one neat.
wonder how those thin tentacle thins are formed by the fish bodies
now thatd be scary lol
Wishwashi plus Sharpedo is a little sad megalodon and then the evo is...
The end of us all
unown/wishiwashi could be a reference to this lol
Of course an unknown/school wishiwashi fusion could just be a biblically accurate eye monster
itd be a bunch of unown seplling out the word WHALE or SCHOOL or something
That would be a fun joke alt
yeah the unown have such cool and fun designs its a shame they cant do more in game
Imagine doing an unknown fusion only run
ayo I am going to Johto School to be sharp
like
why do they only get one move
who do they have crap stats
why is there mechanic of any kind where they can team up together and do things
i think in lore it said that if a bunch of unown gather in one place it does powerful stuff
but that doesnt translate over in game
I love the hoenn one it looks so terrifying
Gotta love how weird the Hoenn looks tho
I thinks that's the lamest thing. Commanding a ton of unown at the same time would be sick
Like a more basic gholdengo. Gather them all and get an unown army
It could be called Nown
itd be fun if there was a mechanic where you could combine a bunch of unown together to spell out words, which makes them more powerful
like some sort of npc or machine in the overworld that can combine certain pokemon to make certain words
for example if you collect B, U, R, and N and combine them, you get Unown Burn, which has powerful fire moves and fire typing
"Nown use Hidden Power"
"It was not effective"
"Foe unown fainted!"
Actually that would be hella sick, but more work though worth it. I think back in the day they could have just added the gather them all to get an evolution thingamajig
or maybe youd just spell out a pokemon type to get an unown form of that type
like unown FIRE, unown WATER, unown GRASS
of course youd have to abbreviate some type names like electric to elec or something
itd be fun and incentivise you to catch multiples of the same unown
Imagine unown wasnt single stage is easy to dream specially since the anime keeps taunting us with it.
an unown combination/spelling mechanic would be so fun
A bst increase of 5
and a disappointment to the player cause unown still sucks lol
Unown being the worst pokemon ever fr!
someone promise me if we get both someone makes this
5st on everything is still 30 so a bit decent.
366 Bst 🔥
Don't lie to me, this is beautiful
have to get the artists permission first btw
Who dis Dino looking mofo
Oh I ain't gonna make it, I freaking hate luvdisc. Respect to whoever came up with that though
Why is alomomola not an evolution of luvdisc
Because even game freak forgot about luvdisc
Wonder if they’re able to make it happen retroactively
Like make an existing Pokémon an evolution of another existing Pokémon
Would be a first honestly
For the mean time let the poor sun fish live, it deserves to be appreciated for what it is, not for what It isn't
What it is isn’t much lol
Alolamola looks like Luvdisc and Sigilyph looks like Unown
solo form looks like what Aromatisse should have been
Alomomola*
image being named after a region that doesn't exist yet
Wasn't there Pokemon that were based on the idea of Hawaii before it was a thing
Or was it Galar-
Belossom?
not even found in Alola
These 29 Gen 7 Pokémon should have made it in:
Starters
Ribombee line
Wimpod line/Dewpider line
Vikavolt line
Lurantis line
Salandit line
Kommo-o line
Minior
Cosmog line
Zeraora
It was 31, but Rockruff line made it in
but we cant just add gen 7
but Gen 7 is peak for Bugs
5*
but we only have 2 gen 5 bug lines
3 with scolipede
we need Gen 7 bugs
Lurantis isn't a bug though
We need more of gen 4.
like there isnt even a question who has the cooler bugs
only decent bugs in game:
Scyther line
Pinsir
Heracross
Volcarona
Scolipede
Genesect
I didn't say it was
Oh. Whoops
Although. When it comes down to it, I do wish there was more love for weaker fusions
Sunflora/Noctowl for example.
I feel like you need to elaborate
Gen 1 and 2 bugs drag the game down and the vast majority of good bugs are from Gen 5 or later
gen 5 is cooler
I'm bias for Gen 5 since it's where I started.
Based
like why do we only have 3 Gen 5 bug lines? Why no Gen 7 bugs? We already have the best bugs from Gen 4, so why do we actually get so few good bugs from later gens?
Vespiquen with her attack order/defend order/heal order would be neat. But I feel like people would dumb the concept down to "bee" and that's it
then GF nerfed her
You can spell stuff with the swarm of Bees
Like gen 5 has
Plant Bug Mantis
Horse Centipede
Lasagna Crab
Knight Bug
Ninja Bug
Cuddle Nope legs
SUN MOTH
Iron Ant
and Future Kabutops
The 1/8 gender ratio may annoy ppl
Infinite Fusion dont care about gender
I can't think of a single memorable bug pokemon in gen 6 besides Vivillon, which would be impossible to add in.
then the fact that we have NO Gen 7 Bugs at all is BS!
What's the plant bug mantis. Leavanny? Leavanny isn't a mantis, it's a phasmid (walking stick order)
You can change the gender of pokemon, can't you?
no
Loool that's because gen 6 only added one bug type
I mean via using the one fusion switch bug
Oh, lol
Gen 6 was the worst for Bugs
for gen 6, wasn't it like only vivilion?
yes
Gen 7 was the best for bugs. Iirc there's at least 5 lines, + lurantis which fits the bug looks without being one
Charjabug family
Dewpider family
Ribombee family
Buzzwole
Pheremosa
watch them add Vivilion in over any Gen 7 Bugs
Watch it be wurmple taking 5 spots
I wonder. What kind of personality do you think a Lurantis typically has towards bug types?
Vikavolt was the first 3-stage bug line that didn't suck past the 3rd Gym
Wimpod
Sure 2 Water bugs
One lategame electric one
2 ultra beast
And one fairy that only is good cuz its a fairy
I think the problem with vikavolt would be it would evolve with the magnet stone
So after the 6th gym
(unova bugs are still good even after the 3rd gym)
it's why UFO ladybird was better, but it can't be in the game
I guess it could look like a bug to stop bugs from eating it? Idrk what lore reason makes sense.
It actually eats bugs.
But why would a plant mimicking a bug lure in more bugs
only good because its a fairy? no no no, its also good because sticky web. that makes it the best
oops, I knew I was going to make a mistake there
You mean the bug that didnt evolve until the last island
In scarlet violet, the pokedex art for it has it about to kill a pokemon
And no idea. Just that a lot of its pokedexs mention about it using it to lower the guard of other pokemon.
I think some Gen 2 Pokemon should be removed (Delibird and Ledyba) and replaced with better Pokémon
Wouldnt make sense since in theory we can add all mons up to gen 7
Gen 2 dex makes the game worse IMO
"By masquerading as a bug Pokémon, it lowers the guard of actual bug Pokémon lured in by a scent of sweet flowers. Its sickles bring them down."
And even if not it would be dumb cuz we would remove some peoples favorite mons and hundreds of sprite people worked a long time makeing
I guess I'm saying it's doing mimicry when it might be more accurate to say it convergently gained the form of an insectivorous insect that feeds on bugs that visit flowers. It uses its flower body to lure prey and its mantis shape to kill prey
Pretty much. While lowering the guard of insect pokemon that see it
yes, but the max they can add is probably like 500, so those slots are being wasted
No as I said
We can add all mons up to gen 7
Like all all
Its a question of time
Normally just thinking Lurantis is just another bug type. It's pretty vicious when you consider that it's being a deceptive killer. Something I absolutely love about Lurantis.
I mean after 500 the engine could barely even run
also. Funny solar blade reference in Lurantis' Moon entry. "It fires beams from its sickle-shaped petals. These beams are powerful enough to cleave through thick metal plates."
Man if we add all mons we could still add hundreds more
No even thousands
Frogman solved the space problem
I'm telling you, the engine would stop working at a certain point. A lot of mon get in this game for no reason over others! We only have 40% of all viable Fighting Types in the game and Bug is the second least complete type! Bug really needs better members in this game, considering the majority of them are useless
that certain point is like 200000 though
'viable fighting types' what about nonviable fighting types?
is that including fusions?
fusions don't take up any space anymore, surprisingly.
Grip I dont wanna be rude
But before the update we get EVERY FUSION was one mon
Now it only countes base mons
those are Gen 8+ mon
no, the fusions are now all generated dynamically, they dont take up space
there was a limit before because every fusion counted as one mon
Yeah, it did also make the pokedex really slow.
oh, then why AREN'T all Gen 3-7 Pokémon in the game?
Cause they still have to make the sprites
it takes time to code them and to make the sprites
Cuz it still takes time to add them
Find places, giving them to trainers etc
We will get single waves of new mons
They revamped the system, we now have enough room for 1000 generations of Pokémon
single waves as in one new mon?
It’s just a matter of time since Frogman has no time to work on this game
I expect like in 10-30 new mons every wave
we dont know yet, but its likely that eventually theyll all be added
for sure though. I can see that all the starters will probably be the next wave
I wrote with Frogman once and he said it is a matter of time
BTW, regarding maps... we still have 200 maps left, so only 799 have been used
I expect theme waves
Maybe a small vote too
But like "Unova jorney" as a wave name with some unova mons, unova starters and some extras
I know we are close to map limit
Yeah but saving maps specifically for special legend/mythical spots
We can apparently save a ton by condensing houses into like 1 map per city.
they already do that
And their puzzle
I'm pretty sure that Necrozma is probably going to be getting a map or three
They don’t know, Gary’s house is one map, so is the trainer school, and the gates that have 2 stories take up 2 maps
this update could only use 20 maps
Every time you load a building that’s a map
hmm, most games condense maps
Yeah most, not IF
that explains why there are more maps than it feels like there should be
Finally using Excavalier thanks to a mod, and boy it's a good one
I was always bitter I never got to use one in the vanilla black. Now I get to have a hands on perspective on it
Toffna?
Tough enough = Toffna
Oh I see.
loli boob shot?
But yeah I get to use one. I can tell you Excavalier is one of the best bugs of Gen 5
Nah full armored lady that kicks ass.
I picked Gen 5 black because it's the one I played and doesn't have mons of other gens
I never got moemon
Its mostly reskins for the most part I am playing with the Unova Dex Complete Edition for this.
There is a weird charm of having static Sprites with the effects and camera angles of Gen 5
does it add more mon past gen 5?
Nah this is a vanilla gen 5 rom, and the hack is mostly to allow completition of the dex without trading or different versions mostly everything is the same
I didn't wanna play with drayanos or black 2 because they add Gen 5 pokemon making the gen 5 mons take a backseat for the experience.
I am playing like this to get a perspective on mons I wouldn't usually use or like.
Like I am using zebstrika, Musharna (these both are more boob shots than I expected), vanillite, and planning on using mienfoo and druddigon
have you tried Blaze Black and Volt White?
I kinda wanted to, but the thing is that Drayano goes past the Gen mons you find, so for example I wanted the vanilla experience where all the mons were just the Gen 5 ones. I played drayano platinum a bit with following, was fun as hell.
Also the fact Drayano does edit stuff a bit so it's not the same experience. In this version I play about the only thing missing it's fairy type on whimsicott and Audino, but it's not a huge deal.
Audino isn't Fairy outside of Mega
Oh it isn't? I never pay much mind to it to really know.
It’s just gen 5 chantey
but no evo line
Basically. It's the exp farm, it does have little tricks tho.
Musharna has the problem of being very limited on moves, but damn it's a solid psychic tank
She gets synchronize which actually is useful when you have a mon as slow as her.
and Trick Room?
In a way you can play with that, but researching how to use her, I learned she can learn calm mind and stored power as almost the final level up moves. Which is that way for a reason, that is busted. Specially since it's a mon that specializes on tanking and making the opponent sleep
Since I am using Excavalier you could say she is a good trick room setter for other mons too.
Oh and she can get baton pass. In case that stored power wasnt enough to sweep
Its a good mon, with a bit of a learning curve.
Its different from Hypno in that is more tanky too.
I find this is a good Pikachu Moveset:
Nuzzle
Thunderbolt/Thunder
Quick Attack
Double Kick
Double Kick is for any Rock/Ground Types that are too common in Gen 1 games
Double kick is one hell of a move when you are agaisnt a type weak to fighting.
that's what I use in Fire Ash
Hmmmm. Yeah sounds about right for gen 1.
Although sp Def tanks would be that pikachus nighmare
just swap out
True that
You know Hypno seems like the less perfect psychic tank all things considered
so this is Musharna
And this is Hypno
Hypno seems like more of an all rounder Whilst Musharna specializes a lot more as a tank.
And unfortunately both are bad
Psh you wish, if you only know competitive you only appreciate what 10 mons can do, when you experiment you find more mons are viable for a run. Musharna is tanky enough to resist the 2x attacks without that much trouble.
It can also lock the foe into both confusion and sleep depending on how you play
For example
Hypno can mess like hell with sp Def tanks thanks to psychock since that attacks defense
Musharna on the other hand once locking the enemy into sleep which wouldn't be counted for competitive because it's RNG dependant can let you buff atleast 2 3 times with calm mind. Letting you do around 100 off two calm minds without counting the buff to special attack, doing one more means doing 140 damage.
Too slow? Quick claw baby
It is RNG dependant so that's why anyone would see musharna as bad.
these are the mons that get stored power by level up. this move is so annoying its sparcely distributed
Musharna missing from the list because Database be like that.
A STAB muddy water vs a unbuffed Musharna
Battle over with the Palpitoad confused and asleep.
Oh I can't tell you what a power trip tanking everything they throw at me then leaving them powerless is.
Me when moemon
Its fun throwing ladies with powers at each other Touhou style
Musharna is just strategy.
Moonlight, yawn, nighmare, psybeam, have I mentioned this is not the most powerful set this mon has?
No, we can only make dog,rats, and the occasional sentient ice cream cone battle each other using otherworldly powers. As god intended… :p
Quick claw baby. Making tanky mons beasts since gen II
I love their b2w2 honestly
Something I was thinking about. I kind of want to try playing through IF with Sunkern/Sunflora
God is dead literally lol
Hmm the ice cream cone must of got him.
Probly, I cant show the icecream yet by the way, it's just... Not PoG yet
By the way we can fight using a hat wearing princess gremlin, a goth marshmallow, playbunny, Yeti Woman, Too feminine to live and now a Yuki Onna. Yeah like the Devil intended
A small taste
omg, they made a gen 5 moemon? i may have to give it a go 
Fingers crossed the UBs get the same treatment as the starters eventually
im using a musharna in my regular ol' vanilla bw2 run, and I'm pretty impressed so far! psychic/calm mind/wish goes hard on a bulky pokemon
wait chat, what's the last pokemon reveal coming up? The trevenant rush winner's pick? I forget
interesting!
