did you kept the template?
Hang on where is my shrimp and lance bug
No but I can make one really quick
It’s in pins, but I think it’s missing clamperl and Comfey
Because there weren’t in the first vote
Can someone send images to put on this for those 2
Uhhh I can try lemme find where to vote again
I'll do one tomorrow because it's a pain on phone
GOD
carbink would never be f
The possibilities of these two
I feel like Gigalith's mountain blasting laser crystal things could probably make for good head fusions
Don't matter for the voting fight
Fair enough
It has to fight on its own
Hmmmm alrighty
who got the tier maker imma make my own
Gimme a sec
I love the design but it's kinda just a clawtizer in the armor of lance bug
And Gigalith body fusions could probably also look cool, like imagine Metagross except objectively cooler (I am biased towards Gigalith)
Should I keep the not voteable tier
You have not see the power of it
True but now I'm adding Lance/Cannon to my list of weapons for my book lol
Nah, I love design of both but it's kinda just an armored clawtizer x)
First line of mons repeat
You might need to edit Clamperl line into one image, but o just got these from the vote link
If I were to make a tierlist I'd probably just include the legendaries and UBs anyways
yeah i know is the only one I found jajaja
YOU DEMAND POTENTIAL I'LL GIVE YOU POTENTIAL
Think Bisharp but more Knightly
More Gladiatorily more like it
TyrantLance
im gonna get shit on for this but heres my tier list
...how dare you.
95% of these decisions were made based on comp viability
I’m shocked a competitive player put spore immune web setter in F
Oh then that’s fair
That’s probably the biggest crime besides flying type with motor drive
ppl use no guard hypnosis stuff instead but its just not great
Wait is water bubble bad why is araquanid F?
water bubble would instantly be banned
Fair
the moment araquanid gets actual physical offense is the moment it becomes extremely broken
not as egregious as in nd because no urshifu to abuse surging strikes but still ridiculous
it wont let me save the blank one as a template whyyy
Thank you for your attempt
I don't care about how competitively viable a Mon is for a fan game, I care about the visual design.
Oh hey it’s the carbink guy
im the carbink guy
If carbink wins I’ll make nice fusions of it
yippee
As much as you try to deny it, IF has a showdown side, competitive should have a voice
Also the visual design argument falls apart when you realize sprites are determined by the creativity of the spriter, not the Mon
Thanks for not picking meinshau
Wait i got it working you just need to manually add clamperl and comfey
give me a sec to format a pinnable meaage
You're right. But I'm sharing how I feel
And also there are more than just spriters making designs for these mons
Just saying
Like concept artists?
Exactly
Crabomimable is not in Tier F 🎉
it has the slightest niche of ice hammer iron fist on tr teams
Blank Tierlist https://tiermaker.com/list/video-games/pokemon-infinite-fusion-new-pokemon-16034815/4272606
clamperl + comfey images
I love clamperl so much
I went for my favorites honestly
blocked by automod though
I forgot how many ads are on the tier list maker website 
Sawsbuck in "NO", opinion invalid /j
Yeah, we blocked it because it's used by scammers
surely ppl want alomomola doublade in their if ou meta 
Crabominable is not in the end of the list 🎉
Really hoping the next tourney winner picks gastrodon
im not the one to decide but methinks this should be pinned
Tier A 
?
tier a weezing
Look youre tier A
Nice, I'm cool with B tier
Yes and?
B tier is what I voted 2 on in the actual vote. A and S were my 3's
You know
Yesss vikavolt in S as it should be
I don't read minds so please give more words
theyre happy you voted crab a
Turtonator in S as he belongs
I'm cool with that. That's the same way I operate
Crab
Now that I know comfey and clamperl aren't there I would but them in C and B tier respectively
Yes, and?
Im happy to see more acceptance for Crabominable
Nice
Comfey is 3, clamperl line in 2 mainly for huntail
FROG IS WATCHING
I've forgot to pin so thx x)
Always am 
Ohhh I was just going to ask for the tierlist, thank frogman 
has anyone made golisopod fusion sprites
Lots have
im interested
Elemental monkey haters will get autism exploded in my head
They would make great head mons
And Eeveelution-like bodies
I have
I don't dislike the monkeys, but there are many others I would see included over them personally
I think that there should be a version of the tierlist that doesn't include the starters in it since they are confirmed to appear in a future update
crazy
Oooh gif
eelektross body-fusions have epic potential
then again, snake-themed pokémon are always hype
All my entries
Can confirm
Lamprey but same idea
i like the magikarp
Aromatisse Representation as to show that not all of these fusions are bad
Same with Simipour
is that simipour and bayleaf? or meganium? Either way, kinda cool and cute AF
Meganium
I know im late with the tierlist but just wanted to do one. S is 3 points, A 2 points, B 1 point, C adds something to the game for me but not worth a point, D completely unintrests me.
Here's some of the designs I did this year. Metang, Eelektross, Mawile, Wobbuffet & Yamask in that order
That yamask goes so hard.
Seviper has some epic potential for fusions.
Mawile one is amazing, very cool horror esque fusion, reminds me of Junj Ito almost
my tierlist I guess
Foodmons at top. I approve
Was it confirmed starters would be coming at a later date? The message in pins says they might be added later
it might be me misremembering as well
Nope. Just they're not in this roound
I think its a case of "eventuaaaaally they'll be added but who knows when"
Golisopod is one of my favorite mons but emergency exit is an ability
Were the Mawile and Wynaut made with a base pose that just has a really small head?
Ruined my UM play through
luckily that can be removed with fusions.
Also why Slaking is beast in this game
yeah emergency exit is a sad ability, especially on a slow speed pokemon
This why I’m super glad it’s part of the vote
My favorite mon can be useful
although first impression helps alot
True
Golisopod might be able to win the special vote if it makes it on, defensive water type with spikes for competitive players, and spritework/getting 2nd place in the spriter vote proves spriters want it too. Very good chance of making it in
Wobbuffet, and that's how it turned.
But for now, nothing is competing with Slurpuff in the special vote
only reason i didnt vote golisopod that high is because i cant for the life of me sprite it myself
also am wondering, is it only 1 pokémon from the entire selection that makes it in the game? or several?
its like the anorith line
It’s actually very good for fusion potential
1 from each vote
The group counts as 1 if they are compiled together in the vote
Right now for me it's
Slurpuff
Carbink
Pelipper
In that order
based carbink enjoyer
based carbink enjoyer
admittingly I have a soft spot for Pelipper. Helping me greatly during a water-mono type run once.
1 line per vote
So there’s a main vote, where we all fill out the form with 0-3 and the winner of that gets in
Then a special vote, there’s 13 events that people in the discord can participate in. Each winner is added to this special vote. They each choose a Mon, and vote amongst themselves. The winner of that vote makes it in as the second line added to the game
I Saw What You Deleted
I only saw a glimpse, but considering the Pokémon I saw I think there’s a reason he deleted it
yes we love fennekin
people can love a humanoid mon without thinking that 😭
You must be new, welcome to the Pokémon fandom
But in all seriousness delphox isn’t bad, mystical fire and magician fusions, it has reason to be added
btw couragestar if i win another tour ill add mienshao next probably
(I didn't see the image)
so as I understand it, there are two pokémon-lines that are gonna be added to the game by the end?
Yes
god I hope someone doesn't add volbeat/illumise to the second vote...
Honestly, my unova bias aside, if you win another your best odds are probably Golisopod, spriters love that one and you’ve rated it pretty high on your lists as well
That’s more of thing I would expect the staff to do
A troll addition like Bruxish 
But much, much worse
Good news is it’s a vote, not a raffle, so it’s far less likely for troll picks to win unless all 13 winners decide “yes, let’s do a little trolling”
yeah, still would be a waste of a good slot in a vote to be wasted on a troll-pick
The only redeeming quality is tail glow imo
I would honestly hate that
if the winners are the ones voting, wouldn't they just vote for the one they picked?
bruxish is still good for fusions tho so eh
That’s partially a strategy as well, if let’s say anaconja won every single tournament from here on out, he could fill out his picks with hated ones like monkeys, wurmple, burmy to guarantee Golisopod and Carbink get less competition
Maybe the second vote opens up to everyone with those as the only options
No, winners can’t vote for their own, that’s the only caveat, so it’s winners picking everyone else’s and the one who got the most of everyone else’s votes making it in
ok that makes more sense lol
tierlist 
That's what I was thinking
It doesn’t, frog has confirmed it’s a vote between winners only
Crustle in S, opinion valid 👍
It’s similar to the vote that cresselia won where a handful of staff did the same voting process and decided on cresselia
Solid, neat is a good tier
Movie Night is about to begin, hop in if you were interested in watching Hoopa and the Clash of Ages
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1148785825178460241
I’m hoping for the 13 way tie lol
Every coordinates to vote for each others
Well...
By that point, frog probably hand picks one from the list
It’s also unlikely that everyone would coordinate like that considering competitive vs spriter (idk if they could possibly be more different) and people want their Mon in so human selfishness kicks in
Ok but the last point shouldn’t really matter cause you can’t vote for yourself
Yeah but if everyone is agreeing “vote for all options a 3” it just takes one person to attempt to sabotage that and guarantee their pick makes it in
alo hate is craaazy youre telling me you dont want this
IKR??? That’s what I’m sayin!
Ooh, I got it! The winners talk it out. They're put into a seperate room/server/whatever and between them they decide what Mon should get added.
Just an idea
Good idea, but there’s this neat highly advanced tech humans invented called “lying”
I don't want this
😂
I still hold firm that Alomomola and Luvdisc should have been in the same evolution line. Both were done dirty by not doing this.
What's there to lie about?
Gen 5 was a soft reboot, and their stats are nothing alike, speedy luvdisc evolving into tanky Alomomola just doesn’t make sense, as similar as they are
A fish (gun) can evolve into an octopus (tank) so....
My apologies, I misunderstood you, I thought you were gonna put them in a room before they voted, yeah that could work
Yeah but don’t they still have similar stats? Lemme check
not the first time speedy has evolved into tanky, but I see your point
It loses speed but still keeps its attacking stats, id argue that’s not as bad as a supposed speed turning into only massive HP
Many Pokémon lose their speed when they evolve
Yeah but in most cases speed isn’t the ONLY thing that Mon has, and it isn’t replaced by a completely different playstyle after evolving
Like, Octillery loses speed, but it still has better attacking stats like remoraid did
Besides, no point in really arguing it, gamefreak made their choice, and frog almost certainly won’t cave into the demands of making luvdisc evolve into alo
Idk, slow offence is rather difference to fast offence
I think it looks nice
And Luvdisk is neither its kinda just fast shitmon
You can count on me to make Alo sprites
I doubt they'd make Luvdisk evolve into Alomomola
But just saying
Also I do think Alo has better offences than Luvdisk
In competitive, but as we’ve stated competitive isn’t the only dictator of everything ever. And luvdisc has good speed comparable to its other stats, not good speed in general
God damn I can't stop typing it as Luvdisc
I dont even know if its spelt luvdisk or luvdisc
Only with a c
I'm pretty sure disc is spelled differently in multiple languages
a lot of competitive mons just look cool
It's so confusing
By multiple languages I mean multiple English languages
Why do we have multiple Englishes anyways
Because communication was difficult in the old days and everyone assumed their way was the correct one
I don't feel like worrying whether Armour is spelt Armor or Armour in whatever game I'm playing
Whatever
the way I understand it is, 'armor' is the american way of spelling it, 'armour' is the british way.
Same with a lot of other words that has 'o' or 'ou' as options
This too
Anyways, Alo is 75/40 while Luvdisc is 30/40
I wasn't kidding when I called it a fast shitmon
A lot of words have been simplified, some to the point of seeming ironic
America rebelled and said 'we will live without u' and removed u from a lot of words lol
Luvdisc also has higher defences than offences
So Luvdisc evolving into Alo would've made sense, but it is what it is
incidentally I think most people sitill use alo's 40 special attack anyway because using 30% accurate will-o-wisp generally outclasses any damage the 75's gonna be doing
at least prior to gen 7 (?) anyway
Alomo is so good as a standalone It gave luvu the middle finger and said : "NO"
convergent evolution
"I don't need your lamo ass on my history"
tbh
if I did want something in alomola's asthetic ballpark I'd actually vote aromatisse but that's just me
People are like luvdisc they just can't accept rejection
mostly because it's not a water type rofl
actually I'm home RN I may as well make my tier list
Ironically, it’s fins do kinda look like hands…
Hand vs no hands
Just shows Alomo evolved smart whilst Luvdisc swims with farts
back, whooo boy that's a tall one
real talk I'm bascially fine with anything that isn't in red or maybe orange being added rofl (orange is mostly that we have enough water, normal psychic, rock, flying, and to an extent grass types that don't do anything else notable)
Can go into LGPE
(see also: me counting hisuian mons as gen 9)
Gen 7
I don't count LGPE as a gen 7 game if that makes sense (I see it as the start of gen 8) but I'd rather not get into that debate
L:A being a main line game simplifies things even further
Hisuian mons are Gen 8
Even if they can't be used against other players there
Pokemon GO being a spinoff makes the Melmetal debate actually exist
but yea to elaborate on some things
Also Kommo-O is up for voting even if people want to vote a 0 for it for being the 12th non legendary Dragon line because we almost have the max number of dragons, which I still find a dumb argument
Or would it be the 11th?
castform gets undermined a bit by spriters having to account for all forms and not having a sandstorm form
Vanilluxe and Abomasnow are basically the same reason I'm not sure why I didn't put them both there as hail setters
Endgame crustle is an absolute hellspawn but at least I'll only have to fight them in randos?
I'm not sure how addable the ultra beases are but I ranked them as I normally would
Idk I forgot
I put kommo-o there because I figured it'd get in at some point rofl
also the only difference between silvally (worse arceus) and purugly (worse but faster snorlax)'s placements is that I actually like the latter rofl
I guess you don't want to fight Gigalith because its 2 non HAs are Sand Stream and Sturdy?
...I forgot it even got sand stream ROFL
It didn't in Gen 5
And it's probably the worst of the Sand Stream mons in battle
Buuuutttt I am biased towards it
So it's my favourite of the 3 anyways
my bias there is mostly against tyranitar for being a filthy 600 BST cheater with an extra 1.5x special defense boost
so if either hippo or lith get in I'd appreciate
Fun fact: My opinions of the Sand Stream mon is completely opposite of how good they are in battle
With Gigalith as my favourite of the 3 and Ttar as my least favourite of the 3
I mean gigalith feels servicable for what it's worth
They're all solid Pokemon though
I like hippo the most since it feel like it was designed with sand stream in mind but giga's also decent
In terms of how much I like them but I cannot stress enough that Gigalith is trash in Competitive
also I'm gonna move eelek since I just remembered that rotom heads exist rofl
Hippowdon is definitely designed with Sand Stream in mind its official art is it completely surrounded by sand
I hope someone adds Minior to the 2nd vote
(just down to "not like but good fusions")
And it also constantly talks about how it starts sandstorms
It also is the only Sand Stream mon to start with Sand Stream
Minior has a lot of potential with all the colors
Ttar got it in Gen 3 with the introduction of abilities
yea my absolute top pick is crabrawler/crabdominable but I can support anything in top
Gigalith got it in Gen 6 iirc
when cinderace tho?
After adding every remaining Pokemon
even if vikavolt gets smacked a bit by how (understandably) late eviolite is for charjabug
AKA probably like 10 years minimum lmfao
gen 8 isms but I feel like you can probably get a cinderace evo by having lopunny alt with something
good afternoon all
Good morning
also evenin'
It is 7 am for me in 1 minute
actually I'm tempted to move volbeat down to "please don't" for one simple reason:
I forget if frog's tying lunge on the one island tutor to volbeat ROFL
I just heard about Pachirisu making another showing at worlds this year 
since I legit what else gets it in vanilla
Illumise has Tail Glow tied to it I think
also yea I did see that. pachirisu usually means that electric types are popping off hard
Miraidon is simply too oppressive probably
(I think Miraidon and Iron Hands this time)
Apparently VGC players thought Miraidon would be dogshit
Which is hilarious to someone who plays Singles
Because it's arguably the most broken Pokemon not named Calyrex Shadow Rider
Based, Seviper is high up there
Oh yeah the tapus would be good for fusions
But that’s 4 legendaries Frog has to figure out what to do with
Tapus would look cool and hand over their surge abilities
Idk why Buluboom is included there and not Tapu Rilla though
tapus also add four fairies and the ability to give koko and bulu some play rough so good on them
New bosses for the Sevii Islands
WAIT HANG ON
Oh that’s a good idea
moved them up to unique because of the surge abilities
I will not stop joking about Tapu Bulu being inconceivably worse than Rillaboom you can't make me
(swapped with heatran since you can make steel + flash fire anyway via other fusions)
I mean a vast majority of that is "one gets grassy glide, one does not."
Pretty much, and it very clearly matters a lot
When I was a kid I considered Darkrai, Cresselia and Heatran a trio
What is Heatran doing there
Bro thinks he's part of the team
My favourite phase of the moon is volcano
What is Heatran doing anywhere
In volcanos? Sleeping, probably
Anywhere else? He probably wants food
Give him some he won't bite
hetrans?!
?
Better than Archaludon probably
😳
I want Heatran because bug/steel flash fire shedinja would be the ultimate mind game
No other reason
Bro is thinking in 4D chess
It would need a type swap tho
honestly, at that point it's a coin flip. Did your opponent choose wonder guard, making it immune to everything but fire or flashfire making it immune to fire? One wrong slip might lose you the game!
fun fact: dialga weighs less than a toyota corolla
if it weren't for their magic
half of all pokemon would probably die to vehicular manslaughter
😭
that is fiendish
"If Pokemon weren't Pokemon they'd die to a car"
correct and proven
I feel like that's a bit obvious
You wouldn't even need to kill them
Take the Treasures of Ruin
watch as my prius turns raichu into roadkill
Peak design, peak in competitive (except Wo-Chien :() and work extremely well as a group conceptually
And peak backstory
Wo-Chien is unfortunately Grass/Dark
And thus doomed to fail
😔
Thank you so much
Certainly not the worst. (those are the ultra beasts)
i see minior on top, i approve
I respect you did monkey propaganda toad
Barely saw any entries for them so I did one 
I know that simipour shows the "see no evil" part in it's design with the eyes, but what about simisage & semisear with the "speak or hear no evil"?
Monkey propaganda is based
Macaco
#playthrough-talk
The 3 monkeys also have the regular starter Pokémon abilities as their hiddens 
Want to see crab propaganda? 
Voting starters without voting starters
Definitely seems like it tbh 
The derpy ice crab yes
the guy with torkoal has made top 4

LMAO
Now this is top tier propaganda, the text font is absolutely perfect
Want to see the second one? 
Hard disagree, not only are they not legendaries but they are also peak
Also I wasn't looking at Discord so that's why I didn't answer earlier
While they weren't technically legends in their home generation, they are considered legendaries in current gen.
I'm pretty sure they're listed as "special Pokemon" in Home
They went from being ambiguous to being definitely not legendaries
They are filtered by the legendary filter.
The closest Pokemon to them are the Paradoxes, which are also not legendaries unless you include Koraidon and Miraidon
In which game, I can fact check that
I have both the 2 games they are in, as well as HOME
Yeah so it's under special Pokemon
Seems simple enough to me
If they were Legendaries, they wouldn't have to specify "other special Pokemon"
They may be as strong as some of the weaker legendaries in terms of BST
But mechanically, they are not legendaries
It really seems they're their own category, and I still hate them regardless.
That feels like a whole lot of pedantry quite bluntly.
And also that isn't a rebuttal to the statement that they are peak
I will die on this hill
Most people randomly swapped sides a while after the UBs released and I am not one of them nor will I swap to the other side
Ultra Beasts and their consequences have been a disaster for pokemon, and I will die on that hill.
Tf you mean "their consequences"
I thought UBs were good
In what way did they even cause a disaster directly

I mean apart from canonically
It's a reference to a book
Like 2 of the UBs were broken in Singles and I don't think any of them were broken in Doubles
They don't stand out as a broken group competitively and I don't see how else they'd be a disaster
We're pokemon players, do you expect us to read?
I actually do read :/
Just clearly haven't read whatever book she's referring to
There's a lot more than 1 book
I also read not books
Like yknow texts on discord
headdesk
I realize sarcasm is hard to convey over text but i thought that was a fairly well known meme at this point.
Yeah but most people say it unsarcastically
Because a good portion of people really just don't read about what they're talking about
Obviously not literally everyone but still
It is a meme but it's also not entirely untrue, is what I'm saying
But yeah TLDR Ultra Beasts are cool, I guess this is opinion based but they have objectively done nothing to hurt the franchise in any way
Which you can't really say about some other additions
cough cough Baby Pokemon cough cough Mega Evolutions of terrible Pokemon that should've gotten an evolution
If we're considering mainline games the biggest contender for long term damage is the mega evolution system, because now those pokemon cant get a base form buff without the mega being suspect.
Gen 5 had done awful mythicals/legendaries
I lump necrozma into the UB category, and that power creep is evident everywhere 
Necrozma forms are typically more similar to Landorus-Therian
By Necrozma forms I mean NDM
Because Ultra Necrozma got thanos snapped
And NDW is outclassed
Necrozma is literally just 'What would max stats look like', i don't really consider it an actual, valid pokemon.
NDM keeps the tiers it is in from falling apart
Honestly, Gen 5 and Gen 7 "special pokemon" are the very few I actively dislike.
Also do people even use Necrozma in VGC
it doesn't help it literally looks like a lost gundam.
Necrozma is a top tier Pokemon in terms of design IMO
Though once again that's opinion and there's 0 point arguing over it
Disagree
But it hasn't really done anything to harm Competitive either and is honestly doing the opposite if you ask me
People like the ultra beasts design because of the reason I dislike them.
You should fight to the death over pokemon opinions
The duality of mankind
they are the most important thing in the history of human kind
if you dislike the pokemon I like
I hate you with my entire being
Why is it usually called mankind anyways
UBs don't even look like pokemon
My first thought was "history of man"
but decided against it
It feels a bit discriminatory in both ways somehow
Celesteela is just space age bronzong.
Isn't that kinda the point
Like whatever shit humans do males get blamed and whatever good humans do males get praised it's stupid
But I'm going off a tangent here
best not to discuss such topics here
Yeah probably
Back to Pokemon
I really despise some of the babies for just doing nothing except making its evolutions worse
Mankind is just Humankind but no one wants the extra syllable. Its not that deep.
That being said, Buzzwole looks like something we would have made for a Machoke/Machamp fusion if any pokemon had a probuscus.
Who decided Wigglytuff didn't need an evolution
But that its prevo needed a prevo
????????
????????????????????
someone at gamefreak probably
…huh
They're about as bad as Megas in my eyes
Or well megas of Pokemon that needed an evolution instead
Blacephalon is described to slither
Boom Clown is a fun seeking landmine.
this is official pokemon art
I had imagined all ultra beasts to be extremely aggressive
Yes and it's amazing
Yes, I grabbed it off bulbapedia
Hello Milian
hllo
so if this is true then ok so if you don’t like minior you are simply wrong 👍
the watermark is still on the image lmao
necrozma is fine in dex ou maybe even kinda mediocre
Like Blacephalon doesn't really mean any harm
necrozmium goes hard in theory but in practice psychic is quite bad as a type
Base Necrozma is terrible in OU
Ultra Necrozma and NDM are good
also forces you to run photon which is real bad if ur using it as head
I'll be proudly wrong then, Minior is a Luma that escaped from one nintendo franchise to another
How is everything?
NDW is too strong in OU but outclassed by Lunala and NDM in Ubers
Trying to do better
ubs would def powercreep the tier rn even if i like them
NDM in particular is cruel since species clause prevents the usage of NDW
…i think i once saw a smash mod that turned luma into a minior
And how is going that?
Decent
??? Bro there's like 2 of them that would perform well
is psychic actually bad?
Actually tbf Kartana probably would be banned, Tera fixes its problems
Yes
Psychic is effectively a worse version of fairy these days.
It's poor offensively and defensively without many standout factors
are you talking about gen 9 or fusions
i thought this convo was about the hypothetical of adding ubs to fusions
I would definitely like UBs in IF it'd be funny
Kartana would probably be the most broken I'd imagine
same lmao, I'd never get a dex completion if I got the UBs in IF
no legendaries this time around
i remember we could’ve had xurkitree hol up
Because it just loses the one weakness it struggles with the most
1: I know
2: Not a legendary
3: UBs are excluded anyways
yea #announcements message and meloetta won it was entirely random
UBs are technically not legendaries but may as well be
I can not be bothered distinguishing legendaries, ubs and mythicals every time I mention it
UBs are quicker to type so I distinguish between them for that reason
Ultra beasts are legendary in all the ways that matter. there being more than one of them is just lore.
blacephalon instant ban bc zam/nidoking exist
xurkitree instant ban bc 173 spa with tg
kart instant ban bc 181 atk with sd
pheromosa probably instant ban bc 137/137/151 offenses with qd
naganadel probably instant ban bc plot + beast boost
buzzwole/staka might warp the def meta idk
nihilego would be bad
celesteela would be uh mediocre
did i forget any
They're sub legendaries, same program category as pokemon like the legendary birds.
I'd disagree due to Home having to elaborate that they're "other special Pokemon"
... the legendary bird trio aren't legendaries
But this is a dumb argument because let's be honest they're as strong as a legendary anyways
Nope!
Posted earlier, but here's the list Bulbipedia used for a source again
https://fxtwitter.com/SciresM/status/799322666079551488
Pseudo Legendaries are as strong as some of the strongest sub-legendaries in BST
yep
Well then clearly this would contradict with HOME
Hi!
I’m not sick any more
Anyways
Clauncher
So either this is not entirely accurate, HOME isn't entirely accurate, or it doesn't fucking matter
Because they're basically the same thing anyways
- Didn't ask to be pinged there.
- Can we just agree home was probably put together by a egg carton full of interns?
I just like arguing slight semantics
ubs aren’t legendaries problem solved 👍
It's the list used for comp restrictions
That are meaningless
It seems like I have arrived in the middle of a very… interesting argument….
Yeah pretty much
You all have fun with this I guess
I’m going to go
Hey wait actually why do they just ban all legendaries but not like Pseudos
The “legendary” birds are commonplace enough to be known throughout multiple regions
It doesn’t matter
Pseudos have stats extremely close to legendaries
You can't say "oh Psuedos are generally worse" either
Because like

Legendary Beasts
it's simple: they look like legendaries, they act like legendaries, and Gamefreak treats them like legendaries.
goodra has a higher bst than most of the ultra beasts. Its just not hyper specialized towards one stat
look it’s probably because even if ubs arent legendaries you cant just put them in the wild there has to be something special for them
Yknow what I probably shouldn't question it
but you can put pseudos in the wild
Frick i typed that wrong
Goodra is definitely better than Guzzlord or Stakataka tbf
hol up
Didn't Stak have a niche in doubles anyways?
Well in Singles I'm not sure about Doubles,
fixed
Yeah we're talking PVP these are competitive level restrictions
For Doubles
AKA VGC
I gave up trying to understand the topic a while ago, im just posting here while trying to duct tape an Oath of Ancients Paladin together
If they're banning all Pokemon with that level of BST then why would Pseudos not be banned as well?
It's not like they have a restriction on them like something akin to Slaking or Wishiwashi
They just have that high BST
It's not BST, it's just all legends, Sub Legends, and Mythicals
and ursaluna
Pseudos evolving as late as they do is supposed to be their restriction, to be fair.
Yeah but why ban those but not similarly strong Pokemon is what I'm saying
Testing the waters
Like what's the reasoning for banning Legendaries if it isn't BST?
Availability I guess?
GF wants to see how a restricted-less meta plays.
We've had no restricted metas in the past
Perish Song memes id imagine
So it's not like this is new for them
Though I doubt the weaker legendaries are restricted
Either ways I don't see mf Regirock anywhere
So I don't know for sure
I mean, thats less its fault and more the fact rock moves are, to limited exception, not perfectly accurate.
Rock Slide is great in Doubles though
The one good rock move we have is barely on 10% of pokemon who would want it
So you'd expect Regirock to see some usage in Doubles if anywhere
oh right, I forgot they also banned the totally-not-legendary-pokemon in the Paradox and Ruins
Ruins are definitely legendaries
stakataka would be a top tier fusion fodder
Paradoxes are definitely not though, I'd say this is backing proof that Paradoxes and UBs are both technically not legendaries
it shows in nd
But still treated as such due to their high stats
Stakataka would go from dogshit to broken so fast when entering Infinite Fusion
NO MORE ROCK/STEEL TYPE YIPPEE
The height of Fluttermane being 90% usage shows why it's a bad idea 
Flutter Mane is the worst
I hate that bitch
None of the Paradoxes except like Bundle in Singles are quite as broken
... I know that emote from somewhere.
The Paradox pokemon are basically Mythicals under a different name.
But Flutter Mane gets to be broken in 2 formats instead of 1
How about mf Brute Bonnet
Why is he terrible in 2
how to make pidgeot instantly decent 101
While Flutter gets to be broken in 2
55 speed 7 weaknesses?
Morning everyone.
I meant as in why did they make it 55 speed 7 weaknesses
nvm noivern just edges it out back to f tier it goes
Would Stakataka/Gardevoir just be that one princess from the game Slay the Princess? 🤔
And make Flutter Mane absurdly broken with 135 SpA 135 Speed and the best offensive type combo in the game
Except maybe something like Ghost/Normal for neutral hits
Or maybe Ghost/Fighting?
Noivern isn't a bird Crobat isn't real
Flutter mane being popular would just bring scizor back to meta comps
because bullet punch is a thing that exists
And so is Terastalisation, or switching
bring back pursuit fr
Or predicting the switch with Mystical Fire and wiping Scizor from this plain of existence
its still 55/55 taking a tech-stab priority move.
Scizor's no Ferrothorn
Obviously it OHKOs what I'm saying is that it is easily played around
252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Fire Flutter Mane: 113-134 (45 - 53.3%) -- 35.2% chance to 2HKO
And resisted Tera means you lose Scizor and Flutter Mane is still around
"Oh I bet you're feeling lucky we no longer learn pursuit"
-great tusk
TUSK KNEW PURSUIT ⁉️
God miss the banned moves 😔
Give Pawniard line back Knock Off and Pursuit so that we can remove Kingambit from OU pls
... This shit is why i stopped playing mainline games after UsUm, you used to need weird shit like Trick or fucking Treat to change your typing
Donphan might have
does not
SV is my least favourite new generation competitively
Because man the powercreep is insane
We turned Eternatus slow
I hate everything except Gen 6 😌
What we really need is Eternamax Eternatus
Does that mean you hate gen 4?
Pachirisu isn't gen 6
Anyways non competitively It's like my favourite or 2nd favourite
But I cannot get over just how absurd Gen 9 Competitive is
Pursuit isn't in gen 9
Sad
It's just a line from a meme song parody, "more usage than you"
I've been considering learning Gen 7 Ubers to kill time while waiting for Gen 10
Mainly because I'd get to use Lunala without it being balls
Idk who at Gamefreak made Ghost types untrappable but thank you I shall now swap out against Mega Gengar threatening to blast me into non existence
... is what I would say if Lunala wasn't the GOAT
252 SpA Gengar-Mega Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 12 SpD Shadow Shield Lunala: 300-354 (72.2 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Shadow Shield gaming
(Ignore the fact that Stealth Rocks exist)
Lunala would probably be obscene in IF actually
Shadow Shield gives it a free turn and it can shed its quad weaknesses to Ghost and Dark
Finally, Fairy/Ghost Lunala
I'd imagine most people would run Normal/Ghost Shedinja though, no?
Or Ghost/Normal whatever
Does the order matter?
its an option but its weak to stuff like toxic and pursuit
Also simply just set up Stealth Rocks fr
It depends on what order Shedinja's type is
Because idk if it is Bug/Ghost or Ghost/Bug
It doesn't matter tbf
Pretty sure it's bug/ghost
I'm gonna say bug/ghost for the sake of its evolution line.
It only matters if you need to fuse with a dual typed Pokemon with Normal type
nincada's bug/rock
But just fuse with Slaking or Regigigas or something
or, ground. whatever
It's Bug/Ground
Damn you corrected yourself before I corrected you
It's so over for me
I am gonna be executed for my sins now
Xerneas/Lunala with Geomancy would be so funny actually
Ah, Endeavor strats
with uturn/bp/wisp as other options in last slot
no it sets it to 1 hp
I'd assume not
Willo-the-wisp
Anyways, simply bring out a Ghost type, click Stealth Rock then click Roar frfr
shed teams always load magic bounce
Yeah I guess that's obvious
Simply use Lunala fusion and Moongeist Beam fr
Wonder Guard is already busted as is on a Mon with 1 HP, adding any more would be ludicrous
before regigigas got mold breaker shed was major king in the meta
That's why we need Lunala in the game trust
Solgaleo works too, Sunsteel Strike can't even be negated by any type
its still v good but not as much anymore
So no Shedinja shenanigans on its watch
And then get OHKOd by Sunsteel Strike because of 1 HP?
Or you mean as a teammate
no i mean the player using shed would switch out shed into the steel resist
So you mean as a teammate
yeah
See, that's why hazards are used
Force switches force chip
Simply uhh
KO magic bounce user fr
riight
Actually just say "Agency Agency" and use Stealth Rock on the Magic Bounce user switching out
Simple
Idk how much I like the idea of using Shedinja since if you don't keep hazards off your field Shedinja is worthless
And even after that you still need to play cautious of status
Or the 1 type that hits you for SE
Or Mold Breaker
But those problems aren't as bad in IF due to being able to cut the number of weaknesses to 1
And also due to magic bounce not being exclusive to bad mons anymore
Alongside hazard clearing
Which always existed
Ferrothorn no diffs fr
Leech Seed W
Tauros is actually faster, so he works better for any Endeavor strats
its actually better to be slow so the opp ends with 1 hp last
to get priod the next turn
so ig igglybuff is the best? lol
Yeah, that's a good point. Was thinking about it in terms of getting it off, but being slower does avoid heal stalling
rahhhh shedinja mentioned 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Igglybuff Shedinja does indeed look real cursed
I swear anaconja and dragon are enough reason to have the new-competitive-pokemon-discussion channel
Like really they could fill the whole channel with just hows
Shedinja darkrai fusion would be op if you do dark ghost + wonder guard
besides that one USUM lilligant clip, what does the regular unovan lilligant bring into the competitive scene for fusions?
I do hope we eventually get the alolan forms in the game
alolan forms would be pretty nuts
TORKOAL
So do I, even as alternate forms like oricorio.
Same, Alolan Ninetales would be incredible to make fusions with.
Obligatory toxicroak propoganda. Vote my man hes cool
naw darkrai is outclassed by sableye bc the latter has pain split
ah neat, treeko propoganda!
I would love to see crogunk line, scraggy line, impidimp line, toxel line
impidimp and toxel will never be in the game unfortunately 
Y not
no pokemon past gen 7
Oh
gen 8+ are banned because of code restrictions
I must miss read then I thought it said up to gen 8
throh and sawk,need more mario and luigi fusions
What do you mean?
Is this like where Minecraft used to only have so many id limits for blocks?
Finally, someone who gets me
The game's engine it runs on is only up to gen 7, so anything after isn't as easy to do
?
You mean that's only how many slots it has for pokemon? Enough to hold up to Gen 7?
Or is it using code from pokemon games or something? I'd assume not
Anything from gen 1 to 7 is feasible. gen 8 onwards is not, at least for now
It's using code from pokemon Essentials, and the version it's on is gen 7
Ooooooh I see
Hello there
Gen 7 is the Alola season right?
OK good
That's the last Gen I'm familiar with LOL
What pokemon could you want?
I'm just hanginn, debating sleeping or playing game loll
Simultaneously have COVID and bronchitis
Im just making the concept for the last request
ooohh fun!
I was actually about to ask if I could post a list of pokemon I'd love to see added solely because I feel like it 
Otherwise I'm alive, you?
Yes, you can do it
Time to wait and see that list
Can we talk about something?
Skitter baby goober yippee!!!
Do you like crabs?
Crustle is underrated, Crabomidable is hated.
And Klawf is DNI.
So sad that these crab pokemons are rarely rated
Except Crawdaunt (Despite being a crawfish) and Kingler
Tho I understand that my zodiac is cancar
Thats why Crustle needs a 2nd chance.
At least I see that Crabominable is a little more acceptable than before, in the tier lists made by users is not in the end
Dude Crawdaunt is cool, I'd be happy with crawdaunt
In no particular order Greninja Tynamo and Rowlett are my top three, Manectric is up there too
What new pokemon are being added?
We dont now for now, but there are two slots for lines
One for the normal votes
And the other for the raffle
No starters this year
That are 9 pokemon in one slot
If you vote that one, you are voting for the other two lines
Starter packs
Meanwhile, you can see what pokemons are join to the raffle, is about events, if you win you can add one pokemon or line to the raffle
#announcements message
Yeah as mentioned in the announcement, starters and legendary/mythicals are not included this time
Rip no Dragapult vote
No iron treads vote 😔
I hope Musharna Makes the cut
No tera normal shiny yellow squakabilly vote 😔
You can get Diet Iron Hands
Chatot diff
lilligant
thank you for your time
Using a sprite for Pachirisu/Emolga from Luna in my current game

Hello there
Howdy
What do you think?
https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1274629199449165864
Unique idea, I like it
How is everything?
can't complain
Good
I get it that it won the pokemon tournament since 2014
Because it has follow me.
It's also Dawn's Pokemon along side with Mamoswine.
For real though, the Gen 6 starters should totally be in the game. I could see so much potential for magical looking ones with the Delphox fusions
You mean Gen 6?
Gen 7 only has Robin Hood, Wrestler and a Mermaid
Greetings everyone
yeeee
my new pc is up
and now I only transfer stuff from my old Laptop to my pc
Sadly that means I had no time to do a Goat yesterday
Yeah! What PC? Why the upgrade if I might ask?
My Laptop is 14ish years old
Yikes
And I wanna play the games I bought you know
What is it?
What exactly? I did the same in may!

The pc or games?
Going through all Assassin's now, pillars of eternity and then moving to BG3
What games :3
The game
Planet Zoo
Prehistoric Kingdom
Little nightmares 1+2
House Flipper
Cult of the lamb
Undertale
Minecraft
I wanna play thosw with more fps than 10
Nice
Oooh
I recommend to play cobblemon
I'd play the frick out of Minecraft if I had a server I would really feel the vibe with, I feel like
Yeah now im stuck on what modpack I wanna play XD
I bring my old ones over for example the one with my 100 days world but yeah
Although chronically not having enough free time hurts too
Yeah
If RPGs are your thing, I recommend wynncraft
Problem is
Many stuff is my thing
But I love modpacks that bring more animals and creatures in the game
Its so sick to open curse forge and not have to wait 4 minutes
Fine so far
:v so many sprite, so lil time to make
But I accidentally catch a poisoned pikachu
And died.
Its my Kakuna's fault.
Because Idk that walking may continue the poison effect.
it does continue it
been a thing since gen 1
stopped mechanics wise in like gen 5 i think, but IF uses it if you aren't on easy difficulty
Yeah I'm stupid
R.I.P. Thorfinn the Pikachu.
I'm now gonna fight Dwayne (The) Brock Johnson.
I played a ruby nuzlocke, but stopped at gym 6 being salty over losing my swampert
Oof
Winona ain't no joke
As she can be too tricky to outclass if you aren't keen.

BTW, I may still use Repels and Escape Ropes if the battle gets so tighten.
bana
Tropius and Meganium are underrated Dinomons
That's the guy who killed my swampert in nuzlocke. I hold a grudge against it. You came into the discussion just in time xD
But to be fair, that's a cool mon to sprite, I'd be down for tropius, although it doesn't have any evos, so less new mons this way 
these COULD be a Smeargle/Tropius Fusion if Tropius gets added
thats low pory. so porygon
Armada the Squirtle Solo'd Dwayne (The) Brock Johnson.
I know its the wrong channel, but I want to post it here.
Do you have something to say?
mid...a true chad/chadette would pick charmander and suffer in the first 2 gyms
lying through his teeth as he used Butterfree for the first gym and Pikachu for the second, despite picking Charmander
A pokemon with one stage, probably make frogman happy
Finally, Tropius buff
Yeah. . . I understand.
