Uhh vikavolt I hate it
Man I could never say that about Gogoat or so
And you already got a Kitty
I do hate dolliv with all my soul but you already did zeraora
True
Someone mentioned watchhog before #pif-hoenn-discussion message
i hate thundurus, but he isnt in the game
i mean tornadus
fuc
no its landorus
i forgot
one of them
the green one
That’s actually what he was asking for, bad potential new mons
that scared the shit outta me 
we dont need the genies tbf
Good
welll
but lakitu reference could be cool
You missed something
Oh I didn’t even think of that
This looks cool.
I know I already send one
Actually pretty cool
Just cause a Pokemon is disliked or its base is bad doesnt mean it is bad
I appreciate the sudden burst of inspiration, now for anyone to sprite

I heard you LOVE Alomomola
Water tribe
Oh hell
The liepard one has a long nose
I just notice the fucked placement of the shells
Another aqua cat
That honestly looks alright 👍
Someday 
Yessss
Idk but he dressed up fancy for the case
YESSSS!!!! THIS IS PEAK!!!!!!!!
Other Skiddos I made and love
Most of my non-if fusions have been with wooper, with a few meloettas as well
VENIPE
DE
!!!!!!
have you made a Rayquaza skiddo/gogoat
YES
Gogoat/Rayquaza exist but @steel meadow made it

Funny enough I saw a good handfull of people who say all of us do shitty jobs and that Gogoat should never get in
they were lying
They’re just jealous of your superior artistic ability
Got really mad at them
Its one thing to call my skills bad
But not when its about all the Goats who do theyr best for every Goat and are determined to continue
I rarely get in a fight that makes me insult people but some of them
Gogoat is cool but it feels like repeat of trevanent with the grass texture
Sadly they got what they wanted
They said they see it as a win when Gogoat dont get in but Slurpuff and Diancie
I mean Trevenant could be called repeat from Torterra too
You can do a lot with the diffrences they have
Yeah I’m not saying you can’t do something unique, I’m just burnt out from seeing that texture cus of trev
Feel that
Here have some other things than Grassy textures
watchog my beloved
i used him in Unova and then no game after him got him
Thats sad
Kalos
Route 15 👀 no wonder i could nver find him
I searched for fanart of it and OMG
Watchog is a beloved pokemon, just the curse of route 1 mon
where they're only good in the early game
That fun too
Lil Grumpy
Yet people hate him 
I think his main problem is that he is a lil stiff
But yeah, after Kalos he just doesn't show up in a regional dex
though with Legends ZA we could see him again
it just depends on which species imigrated to the region and which species emigrated out
Come to think of it, is Watchog even on the switch
We should have a Ground type watchog regional being a Meerkat
you added the Normal
ah so you meant pure ground
Yeah
i remember doing some research for Legends Arceus
Pokemon that moved from the Hisui and cannot be found in modern day sinnoh:
Rowlet, Oshawott, Cyndaquil. Paras, Stantler, Qwilfish, Kleavor (Adapted to an armored coating) Teddiursa, Goomy, Petilil, Spheal, Growlith, Basculin, Vulpix, Voltorb, Sneasler (Adapted to colder climates), Bermite, Zorua, Rufflet, The Weather Quad
Pokemon that moved into the Sinnoh region after Hisui formation
Girafarig, Houndoor, Goldeen, Meditite, Hoothoot, Wooper, Wingull, Azurill, Feebas, Swablu, Absol
You forgot Tropius
why
Because he has fruit on his neck
shelmet does lead into some interesting head fusions
Imagine we get the Gothitelle line next year. Reminder that this character owns the baby form
slight addition but I think teddiursa can be found in BD/SPs underground but not in D/P/Pt? that looks right otherewise.
to be fair, all pokemon gens 1-4 are found in the underground
I think teddi was during the maingame but I could be wrong about that
im pretty sure the datamine doc has a list of what badges unlocked a pokemon
because for some rason Purugly unlocked 2 badges before Glameow
and was found before the route you could get glameow
Idk if anyone corrected you already but you forgot Farigiraf
Oh whoops.
I did know about that, I just forgot to write it.
My brain thought it saw 6, so I put six.
It’s ok, I just wanted to give my long neck boi the respect he deserves
i wand my mighters damnit all
That raises a question, where did Enamorus go?
Permanent vacation to the gen 10 region 
Who I want to see in a future update:
Makuhita, Hariyama line
Shroomish, Breloom line
Swablu, Altaria line
Sandile, Krokorok, Krookodile line
Not gonna list the Galar Pokemon as I think Infinite Fusion only goes up to Alola mons so I'm gonna end it here.
okay
3 lines are already in the game ....
the only one in that list not already in is makuhita line
?tag pokedex
All Gen1-2 Pokémon are in the game, and the Pokémon that are included from Gen3+ (aswell as their location and Pokédex number) can be found here:
and yes, anything past Gen 7 is highly likely to never be added
as i said, permanent hybernation. but then again she was recently found in Paldea (due to the transfer thing)
I too would love Hariyama, thick fat is so good
Good news , krookorok line , altaria line and shroomish line are in the game
already been answered by me and war
so
hands you the dingus hat
I feel your pain. Poochyena & Mightyena are the last two Pokemon I want for the game. Been championing for them for a while now. Hopefully they'll make the cut next time they start adding more new ones.
post game, and only a select few
you have to have done lake of rage and then Mt. Silver in that order
any recommended thing to do in ss anne? gifted pokemon, items, etc
if you want early dex complitionist then the ss.anne has trades you can do
but in this game the ss-anne doesn't leave
so you can always come back
oh ok
If u guys could guess, when would mudsdale get added to the game?
i see a good argument for next year tbh, it's a pretty fun mon i think
but if i had to guess realistically, maybe 2026-27
i think i'd have fun spriting it
Solid design, Stamina access... Yeah I can see Mudsdale having a strong argument for being added sooner rather than later
thanks for opinions
It’s weird that there’s only like 3 or 4 horse Pokémon in the game. And one of them start as a donkey.
There are more inanimate Pokémon than there are horses.
Change perspective
Change horse to big four legged animal
Which is essentially what a horse is and suddenly you have a lot of mons that fit the bill
Dogs, bulls, etc
I mean, we play as a 10 year old in most of these games. Most things will be a big 4 legged animal to our character…although, if a Pokémon game let me ride a houndoom everywhere then it may be the greatest Pokémon game of all time.
Fun fact: if you're counting Zebstrika as a horse and saying Donkeys don't count, zebras are actually more closely related to donkeys than horses.
I did know that. I was counting both forms of ponyta, mudsdale, and that horse mr. Big brain mounts.
I keep forgetting about the Crown Tundra horses. They just don't stand out that much aside from Spectrier being more OP than people expected and Glastrier being Slow Ice Type #50
kinda outdated, you dont need mt silver anymore
Which Basculin looks better? Red or Blue?
ah F it
I do something new for my dex
would this one also be an option or not since its a regional form
Hm who should I fuse 🤔
I think not
Btw Watchog not too bad
snorlax and togepi 😄
Already exist
and? what stops you making an alt?
My dumb ass wanting to get unique shit that people are more likely to use it
Have you done anything with magmortar?
magmortar/togepi
fat ass hand cannon with an egg body xD
Yes
no it’s gen 8
Damn
meant for palette options
I do a Nidoran male cuz I like those
I mean maybe?
The fish, not you Firesword
Facts
Impressive work. I have an idea for a sprite if you want to do one
I forgot which way the fusions have to be ordered for one to be the body versus the features, but it’s between Toxapex and Goodra, and it’s just a bunch of jello in the shape of Toxapex
moving onto the xurkitrees now beast enjoyers 
Octillery?
yup. currently making it look more like octillery
Can we give it a bulb for the eyes?
I mean like light bulbs
sure, ill try that
MIGHTYENA NATION
WHERE YOU AT
(I know I have said Furfrou Nation before but you can hold multiple nationalities okay)
Two bad bitches can coexist together
MIGHTYENA AND FURFROU 🙏
Ou god Furfrou, would there be sprites for all of it's trims or just the shaggy 1?
Since the diff forms of Furfrou are just cosmetic
We're better gonna get used to shaggy untrimmed wet Furfrou
Which is all the same for me I love wet untrimmed Furfrou
koffing/furfrou reference/j
my boy is pissed!!!
I was about to say, the difference trims being just fusions would open up a lot of creativity
yeah but thats a lot of images 
But Gen 5 starters are just standing right there man!
I just want a Surperior fusion with Superpower & contrary that's all I want
Grass/Fighting Serperior still having Contray as it's hidden ability for Legends ZA Let's go!!!
If only we could have the 8-9 Pokemon, then we could have had Contrary Revavroom Spin Out Sweeping
In the words of Professor Farnsworth from Futurama,
" A man can dream....."
Wait is it actually confirmed
No! That was a Joke
The only news I know about ZA is that it's apparently mostly done already so all that hype about a longer dev cycle wasn't true
I'm hoping for a physical attacker Grass/Steel Serperior for Legends AZ TBH.
I guess it means more bug testing, which would be great after ScarVi, but it's still a bit sad to hear
I'm guessing that GF might be taking thier time with Gen 10, as it might line up with the 30th anniversary depending on witch year they settled for on it.
ZA news in the 2025 presents with a Gen 10 announcement would be funny
"we're releasing the Legends game and Gen 10 at the same time again because we have learned nothing"
I unfortunately can see that happening given how fast those games are cranked out these days
"And we don't need to learn any lessons because you motherfuckers will keep buying our main games anyway"
Your not wrong & I hate that
Even more when you start getting creative and creat your own
I'd assumed that went without saying.
Fur coat would be so fun to work with. I wonder how long it would last on the Showdown server before it got banned
It depends on if players figure out what to fuse Furfru with, but still I expect Furcoat as an ability to not last long.
At least with Fluffy your have to have a fire weakness witch can be more harmful than helpful depending on what Beware is fused with.
Absolutely not Steel lol
Nobody's gonna want to carry around that x4 Fighting weakness
If the Special Defense is at least competent then yeah
Here have a suprisingly good looking Pokemon when its about fusing
what events do i miss out on if i have randomiser
- Wrong channel
- Mainly trade events and getting the Pokeradar
But the Radar can be obtained with any abra tbf
consiering we don't have body press, i dont think its going to be that good
Pretty sure that Fur Coat was banned in Hackmon formats well before Body Press was even a twinkle in Gamefreaks eye.
The biggest issue with Fur Coat is exactly the same issue with Huge/Pure Power (arguably nowadays even Speed Boost)
It's stuck on shitmons
But with IF Furfrou can actually make use of its insane defensive capabilities with types it can support (even if Normal in the large scale of things don't bring much to the table but still)
Ghost Normal Fur Coat mon
So, what new Pokémon are coming out soon?
Aren’t these all already in the game?
Also, why will there be no Pokemon after gen 7?
1: only a handful of them are available in the beta, the rest are not in the game yet
2: Frog doesn't have easy access to the coding of Gen 8+ Pokemon, and would have to add them all far more manually. This would take way more time, and also be more prone to glitches.
Also if you have downloaded a version of the game that does have those, you may have downloaded a virus, seeing how you don't have the Beta tester role
In other words it technically not impossible, but since Frog is a 1 man team don't count on it.
At least not anytime soon.
Also, there's like 300 Pokemon pre-gen 8 waiting to be added, so there's no shortage of options without 8-9 available
best chance is when all pokemon until gen7 bare added
which is estimated in around 9-10 years
ill be in my 20s by then ehehe
same
I do believe that there are some Gen 8 & 9 mons, the ones without unique moves & unique abilities that could be added into IF without requiring too much time to program ,at least in theory I'm no programmer.
yes but you do agree with me that they are mork corviknight fan then illumise
And I could simultaneously argue there's more Staraptor fans than fans of Eiscue, what's your point
the point is that while they are 300 pokemons waiting , not all 300 are better then what gen 8 and beyond could give
And I'm saying that's debatable. 8-9 has some gems, I'm not denying that, but there's a lot of duds there too. Spidops, Eiscue, Greedent, Jugulis, Galar starters, etc. I'd go so far as to say the ratio is pretty even
maybe
I mean, eventually we will get to the bottom of the barrel of pre gen8 mons
while I'll be happy with whatever gets added at one point it won't be to vote for the favorite but to vote for the less bad option
actually no we won't cuz frog will have added them as joke 
I do think all gen1-7 mons should be added before the new mons tho
I mean yeah but we get 10 cool mons for each 1 joke addition
the only gen 8-9 mons i'd want in before all of gen 3-7 is Espathra or Copperajah
maybe Hatterene but other than that gens 8-9 were pretty mid
What I really want before all of gen 3-7 is the new cross-gen evolutions
dive
they would be neat, but until Frogman decides if he want to do the work to put them in, we'll have to wait
since iirc, all the cross-gen evos requires certain items and moves
all of which he has to code in manually
not to mention their unique abillities which he also has to manually code as well
its much easier to do the gens 3-7 missing mon since EVERYTHING he needs for them is already in the game
there was guy who was able to do all of that but frog apparently refused
he just needs to put them in a location and viola
his game, so he can decides if he wants that or not
doesn't help he hates gens 8-9 too
Kingambit had a very weird evolution method also
I wish we could get smoliv it also brings a tree Mon that isnt spooky
Revavroon could also be very cool as a head, and garganacl
we can wish all we want, but since he rejected the guy to code in gens 8-9 we'll have ot see what he has in store for us
nother thing to note is that updating games to get to the latest generation of mon is always a hassle,
Eh I think we won’t ever get them but hey i can only hope
i remember abandoning 3 projects because a new pokemon gen came out so i scrapped whta i had and started over
yeah im not saying we won't ever get them, its just the grind to keep up with new mons is always not worth it in the long run
I wonder if we will ever get PIF 2 in like 20 years or something
not from Frogman at least
frog said he rather add to the current game
tho it would be great if we had an other game with the pif library
I wonder if we could have a public library of sprites for fangames to use, the sprites in game right couldnt be used in a hypothetical sequel bc the spriter agreement is only for PIF
the thing that is stopping that is that spriters agreement only applies to PIF
any sequel made by others would have to have someoen hunt down all the artists and ask for perms
or just start fresh with sprites
turn it into a fangame franchise and problem solved 
I think it would be cool to have a second gallery of sprites for fangames, we could just ask spriters in a bot channel if they are ok with that, although that only solves the problem for active spriters
for people that abandoonned their unfinished sprite there is sprite salavage that could work (like since it was harvested to be change then it coudl technically be added to a sequel)
I don’t think so? Like the new sprite would still be based on one made by someone who hasn’t given consent for it to be in something else than IF
Same philosophy as Minecraft
Yeah that perspective is better for this game i think
And its good that gen 8 and 9 is kept out of the game for the time being, and my two favourite pokemon are from gen 8
also have to remember that the game went over 2 years with no new mons being added due to how fusions were handled
the fact that since 6.0 we've gone from 420 to being 501 next update is wild
Hope that means 582 update after that
wasnt stunfisk 420th just because 
we don't quesiton frogs love of making the last mon he adds a phimsh
i love frogs love of making the last mon he adds a phimsh
Praise be to Trollfish
What if trollfish triple
Stubruxdisc
What if I made it Now
you're welcome to make a sprite, 0 guarantee it actually ends up in the game
each joke addition was a fish; how many fish pokemon are left?
Let’s be real if Frog was gonna add another triple it would be trollfish
he'll likely add the kalos triple
aside from that one
we have ones far older than trollfish the players want
If the fans had the triples they wanted, we would probably have a Gen 1 Eeveelution triple fusion while the other ones are left alone
The big one I want is probably the trash trio getting one
not really
Nah, it's foreshadowing for Pangoro evo in ZA and Beartic evo later down the line trust
chances of gen 8+ is highly unlikely simply due to frog not wanting to effectively mini nuke the game
This sounds like it could be true
Crazy foreshadowing on gamefreaks behalf if it happens
Can't wait for a Beartic evolution that becomes slower and bulkier like almost every other Ice type
And replaces Slush Rush and Swift Swim with Ice Body and Hydration
stats: +40 HP -10 attack, +35 defense +35 special defense -20 speed
"ice/rock shuckle and fire/electric deoxys-A this feels right." ~gamefreak probably
Holy crap, I think I found something pretty dope on rain teams...
https://replay.pokeathlon.com/#replay=phoenixrising22-skeepodoop-1731987772408
Aegislash + Zapdos.
Steel/Flying with lightning rod has NO WEAKNESSES on rain teams, since its only other weakness (fire) is removed by the rain.
They got a lucky burn and it just kept going.
Love how viable it is due to perm weather
Sup guys
I want alomomola to get added
It is a peak design pokemon
Mainly Gigalith tho, I like it more
LET'S FUCKING GO GIGALITH MENTION
Gigalith would be cool
Mono Rock type with Sand Stream, so it won't be pulling a Ttar conundrum where you'd have to choose between the Rock type or superior physical stats
And just plain looks cool
Screw the stats and all that shit Gigalith isn't really a competitive staple anyways, Gigalith looks cool and fires mountain destroying solar beams
gigalith would be peak
... If it has 60 SpA and blows up mountains with its Solar Beams...
... What would a Solar Beam from something like Skymin look like?
Funny thing is, if Gigalith was added, it would be one of the only Rock types in IF to actually get Power Gem. It's mostly distributed to random Pokemon that happen to have gem-adjacent things on their bodies. But not Aurorus for some reason.
I forget if power gem has always had more non-STAB users or if gen 7-9 changed that
I remember Mystic Fire had more non-stab users before the DLC in gen 8 lol
There's a decent amount of STAB users of Power Gem before Gen 8. It's just that most of them aren't in the game yet
Common Aurorus L, peaked with its design
(Why does Gamefreak hate it so much, it didn't even get Aurora Veil until a later gen)
Carbink and Diancie would mean we have a total of 5 Power Gem STAB users, the other three being Nosepass, Probopass, and Corsola
(Its species name is fucking AURORus)
You know, Pokemon with lots of gemstones in their design. Unlike Aurorus.🙃
Not to diss Aurorus since this it is a good number, but Gogoat has the same HP as Aurorus iirc
Fun fact: Aurorus doesn't get Aurora Veil in every generation except for 8
Poor Aurorus isn't even getting much of a break in IF. Snow Warning is a pain to get on it, and it can't take much advantage of its Ice type cause it's a secondary one while it wants to be a special attacker
Because that was when it first got Aurora Veil and then it never got into Gen 9
"Aurorus" my ass
So if you wanna use Aurorus, it's doomed to forever be a typical slow Ice type
Unless the types get reversed, which they should be
I don't care if the other fossils are all primary Rock, it makes way more sense for Aurorus to be Primary Ice
Imagine if Aurorus got Aurora Veil
That'd be so cool wouldn't it?
Well it does but one gen too late
Hey ykw if they give FUCKING SPORE TO WHIMSICOTT LMFAO
Surely they give Aurora Veil to Aurorus right?
Just like how Oricorio doesn't have Quiver Dance, but Aggron does.
Fun fact: Omanyte used to be Water/Rock in its typing in old IF versions
And then it gets reverted to Rock/Water back
Like not only is Whimsicott fast enough to run Spore without Prankster for shit like Dark/Steel types
Or Dark/Poison
But you only would do that for like those few types
Because Fairy is SE against Dark
Guess who's a Fairy type?
Dark/Fire as well btw
I didn't mention that since I associate Steel and Poison more with defence
That said Fire is kinda ridiculous defensively
6 resists and they're actually good ones
Ignore your 3 weaknesses being crippling as shit
I say its still a win to be able to be really defensively good even if your three weaknesses haunts you
cough cough Steel
It's a bit of a Steel-lite in a way
Yeah exactly
Steel still rocks the meta even if its weak to three of the most common types ever
It's a bit more questionable if one of the types is a quad Rock weakness like Bug/Fire
But I mean those resistances though
Dual-type Fire carries some risks yeah but it is what it is lol
I'm sure HDB got my back
Just like if you're a type dual-typing with Ice you're getting fucked defensively no matter what
dies because is playing IF
Unironically though I think HDB turned some previously less revered types like Fire/Flying and Fire/Bug into godsends
Well not quite godsends
But a shitload better
Some of the mons with those types didn't really need it tbf, think Volcarona and Ho-Oh, 2 excellent mons for their respective high tiers
Thankfully Rock is still stuck with garbage STAB
If Mighty Cleave got better distribution, Volc would probably start sweating a bit
Simply play around it fr
It had to do so for Stealth Rocks in the pre HDB era I'm sure it can do it here too
Surely
Imagine if Accelerock isn't stuck being Lycanroc exclusive
Rock really is experiencing a similar level of BS that Phys Electric types are, huh
Stuck with awful STAB moves while all the good ones are signatures
At least the Rock moves don't kill the users, but missing arguably screws you over harder
I’d take a double edge like move for rock any day. Rock tends to have the defense to live through the return fire.
Rock has a better Double Edge. Head Smash. It just has awful distribution
20 Accuracy for 30 Power, I'd say it's debatable
30 Power is a lot of power though
Think about how many damage thresholds you pass with that
It's not quite something like Dire Claw vs Gunk Shot
But Dire Claw has massive hax
So ykw comparable enough
That said, 80 BP can be quite disappointing
And 120 BP definitely isn't
anything with less than 100% accuracy had better really justify itself or have some way to make up for it like compoundeyes or stomping tantrum
And then there's Play Rough, which justifies itself by being the only option available lol
excuse you
there was hit Z Move twinkle tackle
grimmsnarl and iron valiant win again
Spirit Break feels a bit too weak to me
naw spirit break is laughably weak
Yeah 75 BP
Spirit break has a niche
It’s really Really good for tera raids/long fights
Trust me, if Iron Valiant uses a Fairy move, its opponent is either dead in this turn or the next, and if not, it is swapping out very quickly
Not in Tera Raids
definitionally
It works well for some typings
usually dragon tera on a special attacking special defensive
It's boutta get slammed by a neutral move that's for sure
Unless its opponent is like uhhhh
Shuckle
Does Shuckle even learn a neutral move?
Both STABs are resisted and Shuckle doesn't have a great offensive movepool
(Gee, I wonder why)
If you're using it against Dragon Tera you'd better pray it is a physical attacker
That special bulk is just
Sad

Yeah but spirit break lowers spa is my point
simply use moonblast instead
Usually gets to -3
Hey ykw, it's probably better than the 90 Defence with no stat drop
You're getting sent into another dimension anyways
And the boss will heal its stat drop while you're dead
Maybe for like a lower star raid it could work
why worry about bulk? just kill the boss fast 
Frfr (My Kyogre just did jack shit with a Water Spout)
(I can't even do the funny Specs Water Spout because of how much the raid pokemon doesn't want to die why'd you do this to me game)
(Why can't they just be normal like bro this fucking water weak frail mon should've gotten evaporated)
(Tera raids are the hardest battle in Pokemon frfr)
(I'm only half joking honestly but tbf it heavily depends on how much the game hates you)
(And games HATE me)
iron val might be serviceable for drain punch? there are better users though unless you want either /fairy or spirit break for support debuffin
The strategy always seemed to be iron hands+belly drum+ drain punch. At least starting out.
I stopped bothering with stat buffs in raids considering every single one immediately pulls out the "all stat buffs were reverted!" BS
#other-pokemon-games for that stuff
i Hope at Winter or next year I can start some runs with some new mons in if
you already could
add chattot pwz
no
i think frog is done adding mons for this year
especially since 6.3 might not even release this year
i c
Besides, Chatot would be the kind of troll addition given out to the artists at the end of a new batch. A slot currently being filled by Luvdisc (and Bruxish before it)
i just like chatot XD
frog is running out of phimsh for that
fishes not in IF currently:
- whiscash
- relicanth
- finneon
- basculin
- alomomola
- wishiwashi
Feesh
would you all count tynamo for this list?
Define green one.
Do you mean red/blue stripe?
Ye I meant basculin
It’s an eel, eel are fish iirc
People actually want Wishiwashi and Relicanth tho
Tynamo is cool. Not a troll mon
The list is a general one
Mono electric levitate is less special in this game but still cool
GF out here making more Fairy types than Ice types but somehow still don't bother expanding physical Fairy-type moves
Play Rough being aggressively mid is not justified by being the only option
I cant tell if Spirit Break is as mid or somehow worse
But you sure as hell are not catching Iron Valiant using Spirit Break at least
Bro would rather run CC/Knock Off lmao
Or Moonblast/Shadow Ball
Not an impressive showing
Well the lack of good STAB moves I mean
Not as in the performance of the mon itself
So insane that Play Rough is still the only Physical option three gens in
Even Moonblast at least got a sorta-kinda lite replacement with Dazzling Gleam or whatever
It will never not vex me that there's less Ice types than the type that was introduced halfway into the series lifespan when it's been there from the beginning
see also: poison
oh I misread that lol
I read that as "less ice types in the current gens than there were in gens 1-2"
since I know that was true with poison where it took until gen 8 or 9 for every other gen to collectively catch up to how many poison types gen 1 had
I'm pretty sure there would be more ice types from recent gens too
Though maybe that's just because Gamefreak stopped making slow defensive ice types do that the ice types weren't just inoptimal as hell
Correction, Gamefreak stopped making ONLY slow defensive ice types
yea since at their core every ice type basically wants deoxys-A's stat spread in terms of the role it has on the battlefield
with weavile coming the closest to actually accomplishing it
while GF sees shuckle or, well, glastrier as The Peak Ice Type in terms of the type's build which is yea
3 fucking banned Ice types
"Holy shit"
- Comp Players probably
that or making ice types defensive through gimmicks without the one thing that actually makes them defensive: resistances
In one gen to clarify
They already started leaning into broken offensive ice types last gen at least somewhat
With G-Darm
Then we got He whose name must not be abbreviated, Delibird but it woke up on the wrong side of the time machine and the most broken Pseudo Legendary excluding like Mega Mence I guess
Also Mega Metagross I feel
But I'm not even 100% certain on that
So don't quote me
Imagine telling a Gen 4 competitive player that Garchomp would be too weak for OU but there's 3 non-legendary Ice types in Ubers
Chien-Pao is definitely very legendary
Unless you mean G-Darm but it technically doesn't exist rn
So shh
Chien-Pao isn't even portrayed as just some very exotic species
It's a straight up living natural disaster
A bunch of emotions so fucking shit they just manifest a being of pure destruction
I mean, can garchomp compete with a good ice type?
The good Ice types got kicked to Ubers
Including Regieleki
Because they were a bit too good
Well, except for debatably Kyurem
But Kyurem is a figure of controversy
So let's not talk too in depth about Kyurem
There's always Yache Berry and Rock Miss, but that's not a reliable matchup
that deals with one ice type
there are three
There is one
You said a good Ice type
But it is also a Dragon type so it doesn't fucking matter
Actually
Yache Berry isn't even saving it bro
This is Kyurem here
Bro's boutta pull the nastiest specs ice move in the history of mankind
Or boutta land the 5 hit Icicle Spear (the dice was loaded)
Does Garchomp OHKO Kyurem without Band?
Like maybe with Outrage or something?
252 Atk Garchomp Scale Shot (4 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 360-432 (92 - 110.4%) -- approx. 56.3% chance to OHKO
Even better
Loaded Dice W
Simply don't miss
And dodge if you do
What tier would glastrier be with steel type
if you're talking as a fusion, mach punch tier 
i don't think you would even need mach punch, just outspeed
true, but saying something gets machpunch diffed just has a ring to it
also just found out that Hitmontop and Ferrothorn have the same atk stat
Smogon tier
probably stay where it is in PU, or stop being used
ice really hinders it
if you meant it dropping its ice type, probs RU/NU
depending on what type is dominating RU atm
Yeah, Glastrier doesn't really have a lot that it can actually do once it tanks. It has no recovery and not the best support moveset
If you wanna see an Ice type that would become a defensive behemoth if it became Steel type, look at Avalugg
Rapid Spin and Recover would make it a reliable hazard removal option, and it even carries Crunch to potentially scare away Ghold's spinblocking (although it absolutely would not be able to eat a Make it Rain)
I have a lot of experience using glastrier
It essentially turns the match into a 5 vs 5 instead of 6 v 6
Slow speed stat with arguably the #1 bulky offensive stats elsewhere with no healing moves allows it to 2hko everything
But with no heal moves all sorts of shit outspeeds it and kills it after glastrier gets down to 30% health against an opponent it killed since it checks literally everything, but is only good in a 1v1 because of all that
Yea
I wouldve guessed UU or smth
Since melmetal is essentially steel glastrier afaik
And melmetal is in uu (i think)
Melmetal is like what, UUBL on Gen 8 or something? Or was it Gen 8 NatDex? It's mostly OU placements though
It was banned to Ubers in Gen 9 NatDex until recently
Thing is, Melmetal has a 120 BP STAB move boosted (not by much though lmao) by Iron Fist
Oh yea true
The best Glastrier's got is 85 with a chance to miss
Funnily enough they both are stated to have a 30% flinch rate
Except DiB is 60 BP and hits twice
So it's closer to 50%
Not quite 60% because that's simply how math works in situations like this
I feel like I usually wouldn't state this but I've had people correcting me it has a 60% flinch rate
Tbf glastrier could run avalanche, where if the user takes damage first the base power goes from 60 to 120
But still
Melmetal > hypothetical steel type glastrier. :(
Avalanche is sad because when the wall clicks Recover you can't do shit
Yeaaa
The slow bulky lifestyle simply isn't for the Ice type
Just go "fuck it we ball" and kill everything before it kills you
Shouldve made glastrier have spectriers stat except physical
And like
Most other ice types whose stats cant easily be assumed by their designs
all offense all speed no defense
How to use Glastrier:
- Tera


I love how the best option available to defensive Ice types is to stop being Ice type. And then there's Regieleki like "this is how you use the Ice type, you idiots."
regice if he locked in
GF be like "you see you set up snow and then you set up aurora veil and you're set!"
"well I got hit by two flamethrowers and died mid-way through the process. can I just have A-tales set up both in one turn?"
"I don't see why not?"
"thanks! switches to something very not ice typed next turn*
OK i love IF and it's killing me that my favorite starter is not there. Meet my boy Rowlet
i don't know if that was the good channel to talk about this
I mean I think this is the channel talk about that. Recently though it’s became “general but less AI images and no one asks how to download the game”
Pretty sure I've seen at least 2 people ask how to download in this channel
it's pretty much because the announced pokemon are over for now
the tech support is everywhere
Rowlet will probably be getting added before the Gen 5 starters at this rate, so you've got that
Except tech support, funnily enough
Look they let me out of my cage for 5 minutes every day let me have this
True, like this example
I wouldn't be surprised if tons of people on this server have the bot commands for Sprite Repo saved to their clipboard for ease of access with how much I've seen people ask about it on most servers
why are my sprite looking lik- the sprite repository is currently down
Reading is hard, checking pin comments in downloads or tech support is harder.
Is Lycanroc-Dusk ever planned to be added? (If this question is banned in the FAQ, my b)
I don't see an FAQ so I'm asking
not happenin
Frog has no plans of that, cause Dusk looks near identical to Midday
frog doesnt like dusk so unlikely
if done at all it'll be way later
replace day with dusk 
Also isn’t dusk basically day and night already fused?
Statwise dusk just moves 2 points of day's speed into attack
The only meaningful difference is tough claws
bad body?
It’s just midday’s body
Most likely
well, it's a dog
Do you think I have time to play the game
fair ig
Yeah that's why I wanted it 😔
The most I play the game is using Metronome 1000+ times to test the crash
What does that 135/500 mean?
the number of sprites out of 500 I’ve made
Oh sick!
We have roles that denote 100,500, and 1000 sprites made
Greetings
As well as every 50 you make of one pokemon
Kabuto
it’s true!
small random question
You guys got a good name for a Female and Male rhino 👀
I’m gonna do an all Kabuto run, just for you 
✨💖
Male rhinos I name Rhinox cause nerd
I’m probably gonna do another Kabuto/Amaura sprint to round out my next two pokefans
thx for that one
What on gods green earth did I just witness?
What is this and why does it look familiar?…did this show have a rat guy? And a spider lady? It wasn’t transformers? At least I don’t think so?
It is
It’s transformers beast wars
Also yes it did have a rat and a spider lady
And Optimus is a monkey in the show

I think I only saw like one episode of this ever. I think something happened and the rat guy and the spider lady was with maybe Optimus after like everyone else was like dead or something? I had to have been like five or six at the time so I basically just don’t remember anything about it. I think the rat betrayed the other 2 for something?
I read Rhinox and thought of the Spyro Rynocs instead. What kind of nerd does that make me?
a playstation one?
Yes
Come on guys, we need vikavolt in da game
vikavolt wait , salazzle are important to be added in the game from the alola dex
put malware in the next update please
malware ?
I think the community has been wanting it for awhile
if you want malware, download from the "official" website which isnt supported, distributed nor developped by us
stupid autocorrect moment 😄
Or Malware from Ben 10
Maybe
Welp. I'm off to sleep
not the channel for this
it was today that i learned that abilities weren't in the game till V4.1
oh neat
what stuffs been being added
mon wise #pif-hoenn-discussion message
outside that, the full character customization stuff
gah its all mid
general bug fixes
I dunno new pokemon stil lseems a coll thing
they do but nothing special pokes wise
is archen or froakie in yet
they what im waiting for
archen is not in this batch tho in the list sent there is froakie
We will probably get another batch of new mons (not sure tho) maybe archen will get in then
we'll definitely keep getting mons
archen is a fossil, so it has a fairly high chance
special pokemon and whatnot
I wonder if frog will have a christmas present
also time for a sprite bilan (I stole the list from modrid so... thanks for the time save)

From this we see a lot of thing , such as kommo-o being one of the lowest fullly evolved pokemons
In conclusion community pick is bad , let the spriter choose 
i kind of doubt it, but maybe
lasty year brought rage , are you sure you want one?
Cresselia?
no it came after , it was bruxish
Oh thats based
i'd rather he skip the christmas gift
and do something for the anniversary
besides, we already have the troll fish on the list this time around
Christmas present Abomasnow so we get 13 Grass types in the update
Christmas present 2024: Frog wishes us a merry christmas
||and deletes pokemon infinite fusion||
Y’all are telling me that we’re getting Lombre and Scrafty next! Those are some of my favorites!
Scrafty is probably my favorite addition this cycle. We didn't really have that much access to the punk look beforehand, and now Scrafty allows the creation of some top tier punk fusions. Also it has good abilities, so it's pretty useful
Announces Infinite Fusion 2. A brand new game in Hoenn and Sinnoh that is just barely out of pre-alpha, thus having none of the QOL stuff that came in later versions of this... and discontinues PIF 1 at the same time.
Yaaaaayyyy…water routes everywhere…my favorite
And still no Gen 8-9 mons 
Nah he's saving that for when people start clamoring for Gen15
9.2.5? What changed?
sinnoh update, hoenn update, unova update caused many bugs and errors so it was reversed
and gardevoir, lopunny and greninja were sent to trash
Gardevoir and Lopunny getting removed would be hilarious just to watch how the channels blow up in response to it. The discourse would be glorious
i don' tcare about greninja but loppuny are one of pokemon of normal type than i use and gardevoir are strong so it's a problem to remove this two pokemon
i think ribbon would be devastated if gardevoir got axed
and i would be too if lopunny got axed
i made so many cool lopunny sprotes 
all my cool bnuuys 
the entei one looks good
entei 
Suicune wasn't it
or suicune ... cant really differ the 3 beasts in fusions ..
I definitely would be more upset that Garde and Lop were gone, I just think the arguing between their fans and antis would be funny. I've seen people get really heated about those 2
I would be upset if any mon got removed honestly.
People get a bit too involved over some designs.
no one would be sad if luvdisc was gone
I love the lopunny fusions, the artwork is amazing. I just wish people didn’t rule2 lopunny 
How dare you? 
In many ways actually

Nah Luvdisc is pretty cool
I think Luvdisc has a great chance to recreate newer mons with flat heads and do other such stuff with trying to make recognizeable patterns in a mostly flat mon, but Ik people will just recolor the little heart.
How was the gen 8 dragon one called?
Dragapult?
Yeahhh
we have stunfisk already
Instead of a stealth plane head it's a sideways luvdisc.
woe fosh be upon ye
Meh, it's not the same at all just because it lays flat.
I don't even know what one would combine with Luvdisc to get that. Maybe Unown cause of the big eye?
There's another one but I don't recall the name
?tag feesh
it's from spore that
Subnautica.
Idk I worked hard on those
im gonna keep making pride flag luvdisc and no one can stop me
I would be concerned if they did.

Sylveon/Luvdisc when
At this point two of my best sprites are Luvdisc
is the website ok because when is the update?
We don’t have a website
the one that they said was down
oh the sprite repo
There's a new repo being tested out in the beta
k, just wondering because I wanna play with the Fenniken line when it's up
the game itself that is
Good news, you can apply for the beta tester role and get access to it there
There will be an #announcements once the update comes out
how do I get that?
should there be a new triple fusion since there is new starters?
Yes there is one
Currently it’s not obtainable tho
Not even if you get all three in one game?
It gives you a pikachu
it’s a pikachu egg for now
Wtf is this fever dream
... How the fuck did you obtain the AFK command?!
afk command isnt locked
It’s a slash command I’m p sure
I think December will be the update
@trail hull I set your AFK: AFK
huh? 
Sorry turns out it’s just myself , I thought I could do it for others cuz the mentions list was open
@opaque flare I set your AFK: bug @trail hull instead :D
^^ how to ping other people while they ping you 😄
out of interest, how many commands can you see for the afk commands?
i didnt configure this, but if you can see all of them i may need to look 😛
ive had this issue before where members could see admin slash commands but i think it just gave an error
(and i just checked, i can see them too)
yeah they error our apprently if you use the mod commands as non mods
learn something new every day
i can see them too

thanks, i never wouldve guessed 
I can see all of them
yeah its fine, turns out you can't run the important ones anyway 😛
anyway hope things go swimmingly to have an December release
"important" ||3 people in the server use afk||
I Hope you meant can’t and not can
Lmao
@rain locust I set your AFK: the

?tag feesh
Why is that a thing

?tag partybudew
The ice type magikarp
nah that's the rice type magikarp
its sushi
I’m pretty sure that’s the ghost type Magikarp
I repeat my earlier question
?tag bomb
💣
Why does Deion have so many random commands
Deino is babey
Built up over time
?tag youreit
no tag backs
?tag kiss one I've seen a bunch in #spriter-general
Spriters just kiss each other constantly
kommo-o is fun to work with as a body
Right that's what this channel is for 
This has become general 2.0 
I’ve also seen that one a bunch in #spriter-general and I also question why that exists
Kissy kissy kissy apparently
wait what-
Just without people constantly asking why their Pokemon keep looking like grey circles with question marks
General but better 
nah that happens here too occasionally
Deino has a dex Pokémon command, but I think it's blocked here
interesting...
can confirm
that’s kinda gay (in a lighthearted joking way)
How long until this channel gets the archive snap?
My guess is shortly after 6.3 officially drops tbh
What were the new mons added?
Kommo-o 
kommo-no
yeah and garchomp isn't my favorite pseudo
and tyranitar, and metagross and literally any other pseudo except for maybe baxcalibur
my favorite is salamence
can't wait to fuse it to ho-oh to get ho-mo-o
top 3 for me are
Kommo-o
Tyranitar
Salamence
bottom 3 are
Dragonite
Goodra
Baxcalibur
does salamences mega have anything to do with this opinion?
no
nope. it was my first ever shiny pokemon
salamance ftw as go team sky
🥐
fair enough
i always thought salamence was too "basic"
great i want a croissant now
I grew up with Ruby/Sapphire as my first game, so obtaining Salamence in my playthrough rocked
plus i am. insane about ruby and sapphire pokespe and salamence plays A Role in those two's Situation
but then u just said chain dragon > ?!
Why is Kommo-o just teleporting behind them? Is he stupid?
Yeah I’m giving a reason why I like Salamanca
For Kommo-o, gen 7 are like my favorite games
I love all stages of his line
He’s pretty fun to use
I like the middle stage the most of of the Kommo-o line
He’s also not a pain to level and evolve
This server actually made me like goodra
I never used it in the main games, I thought it was ugly
Chicken drumstick looking ass
But then I used it in this game
Goodra has some really nice fusions
My favorite has to be Goodra/Roserade where Roserades flowers become those plants that produce slime
I just liked it because it carried my team
I didn't know a dragon with 200 special defense is quite solid in this day and age when they have an extra typing
I can definitely see that. Goodra does feel like one of the best head options for a physical attacker thanks to high HP and SpD while its Attack is solid enough to not burden the attack stats of the body half.
is shamin going to be added

lol i would like keldo and shamin added
fun fact: the smogon base for Goodra was made using Dragonite as a template iirc
However you want them
alr
but generally catch the first two pokemon on a route, fuse them
Bonus mons can be subbed into a route fusion
My personal rule is that if you have any two unfused mons in your box at any time you fuse them
For example, you start by getting a starter, two route 1 mons, and the pyukumuku
Since I always have those four mons I always fuse them in whatever combo I want
If you play on randomized mode you can just make it so that you always find wild Pokémon that are already fused
yes
its the option that says "Fuse Everything"
Yes
can we get maractus in the Game i meant lol
?tag pokedex
...
bot still borked
that is our dex, everything there up to 470 is in the game, past that will be brought in with 6.3
if it isn't listed there, and is from Gen 3-7 it might get added in later
Oh you mean like musharna teasing us there 
there's a petlil floating around somewhere else in the game
was*
That was removed
Now it’s just musharna & I think minccino
I think the overworld graphics for petilil are still in the game's files
that can probably be said for about a lot of pokemon
well i still take a break cuz i have no idea what i could do for a run but i will do a mix run with some off the new mons in the update
Let's not forget TOXTRICITY_gmax.png
🎵 colors weave into a spiral of flame, Toxtricity's the best 'mon in the game--
at soem point or at least in last year's beta there was inteleon gmax too
also in the game fiems there are overworld sprites for a lot of mon not ingame like keldeo
i think all unfused pokemon (until gen7) have overworld sprites
zacian icon is in the beta and some other too (warning for people it doesn't guarantee any gen 8 mons )
also there is weepinbell shadow , are shadow pokemon ingame?
wow everything's here
including every hat and cosplay pikachu ||(which is not the pikachu with a hat npc used in the beta||, alolan ninetales, necrozma forms, eterna floette, every alcremie form, and gender differences
you can "make" them in debug which instantly crashes the game
oh
speaking of shadows wasnt there a concept of shadow form like in xd
Nah it’s just left over stuff from poke essentials
shadow pokemon come form pokemon colosseum and xd
A lot of these just come preloaded in essentials as mich said
🎵 distance sparks call to a region still unnamed 
food mon from gen 8 , sprite icon in the file yet impossible to programm
It’s not that it’s impossible. It’s that it’s a ton of work
I know but it sounded cooler
Last time it made the game shit itself so
Abilities, specifically
