from fat snaek

https://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species:_Dunsparce

he's more bug than dragon

[latent totem]

Hot take

Drampa shouldve been dunsparce's evo

I mean

COMe ON

[hard plume]

how

those two pokemon have nothing in common

[latent totem]

Wdym have nothing in common

[hard plume]

dunsparce and drampa are from two completely different mythologies dude

dunsparce is a wormy snaek and drampa is a chinese dragon grandpa

[latent totem]

It wouldnt be the first time an evolution line did something like that

[hard plume]

then give me that evo

no. really.

I have consumed the entire pokedex and I can disprove that easily.

[latent totem]

For example, carvahna, a piranha pokemon turns into a shark. The 2 animals have nothing in common with one another.

[hard plume]

i said two different mythologies

not two different species

also, carvanha and sharpedo do have a common factor

it's star shaped markings

which reference the starspotted smooth hound and the starry smooth hound

and another thing:
sometimes pokemon evolve with a common theme

Carvanha and Sharpedo are based on the idea of fish that chase and bite

Remoraid and Octillery are based on artillery.

And this is why Drampa being the evolved form of Dunsparce makes zero sense.

They are completely disconnected from one another, physically and thematically.

also

that stat spread

https://tenor.com/view/rpx_syria-mic-drop-gif-19149907

[unkempt egret]

"I wish it had a BST higher than 480, much less 450" sums up a lot of johto's pokedex rofl

[latent totem]

This lmao

[hard plume]

dudunsparce solved that

[unkempt egret]

I'm not sure if it's the lowest overall regional pokedex by BST but it sure feels like it rofl (discounting kanto because johto is basically kanto 2 plus some new mons)

[hard plume]

as did farigiraf

[unkempt egret]

Sinnoh also did a lot of johto solving like with yanmega and mamoswine and whatnot

[latent totem]

Gliscor and togekiss

[hard plume]

plus drampa doesn't have drill run
TL;DR: dunsparce evolving into drampa makes no sense, dudunsparce supremancy biatch

[unkempt egret]

but yea usually the three most frequent offenders for buff requests are ledian (notably, ariados is never mentioned by anyone who offers buffs for ledian), furret and dunsparce with sunflora getting an honorable mention

[latent totem]

Sunflora is a meme at this point

The weakest pokemon in general

[unkempt egret]

sunflora I remember more because I feel like I'd have a least a dollar if I had a penny for every hack/fangame that gave it some sort of fire-adjacent buff (flash fire, a secondary fire type, drought, ect, ect)

I think in my own hack literally the only thing I did was just give it 125 HP rofl

out of those, furret is probably the most usable but 90% of that is because it works well with coil rofl

[latent totem]

Furret doesnt need to be viable imo

Its just a wholesome mon, that doesnt need to fight

Pokemon GO: All Lime Edition

[silent hill]

hey so guys

ultra sun or ultra moon

because my 2 fav legendarys are by far palkia and reshiram... but they are in different games

[weak plaza]

Reshiram is a goated legendary

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokeplush-plush-plushie-pokemon-plush-gif-22920362

[proven geyser]

in rhe first half hour of kyogre raid day I fought 4

now how many did i catch

ALL 4

I'm going to OBLITERATE groudon day

[hasty sparrow]

Have you got pokémon daybreak and it is safe ? Because my pc don't open the game because the game will be maybe not safe .

[tight granite]

tried pokemon go again today and bruh game makes me too mad

the catching sucks, the fighting is even worse and the fact pokemon dont heal on there own and you have to actually grind items just to keep them healed sucks ass

[cunning tendon]

THAT'S TOO MANY KYOGRES

DID KYOGRE USE SHADOW CLONE JUTSU OR SOMETHING?

[latent totem]

insert reshiram is my wife song here

[weak plaza]

I've never heard of that before

[latent totem]

Its a meme

Look it up

[hasty kite]

would anyone happen to know how to make the first pokemon you pick in legends arceus shiny? do I reset? What point is the most effecient place to put a save in order to reset for a shiny?

at the very least I wanna have a female companion

[grim crater]

bro?

[jade crypt]

It's shiny locked so unless you have a emulated version on a pc and you change the shiny lock somehow you can't get a shiny one at the start of the game, you can reset for a female one tho.

[short fable]

does anybody have a spare spiritomb in legends arceus? been trying to find the last wisp for like two hours and I’ve given up

[scenic whale]

You could probably search for the locations

[short fable]

yeah i followed a guide but either I’m missing something really obvious or i dont even know what bc I’ve went everywhere like three times it’s one in the fieldlands

might try and transfer one from bank to home but ugh that’s so many steps

[vernal garnet]

Prolly look at a video guide and check every spot

[short fable]

guess I’ll have to

[dusty night]

playing Insurgence rn

[weak plaza]

Don't worry, I didn't look it up
I had a feeling it'd be something like that

[reef jackal]

insurgence is so fun! i played it years ago and id like to replay it, but unfortunately you cant full screen the game

which bothers me so much, so i ve decided not to replay it.

Have fun though, the game is really good.

[jade crypt]

Nice. It is a good game.

[pure star]

what is my shiny luck

i just beat roxanne

[blazing surge]

@wraith sonnet apparently I am a filthy liar

apparently I've sold some already

[wraith sonnet]

Ooh, a noodley walky boi

[blazing surge]

Pretty proud of these

Eevee took around 12h

Milotic the same

Delphox I think around 7

Whilst giratina

the one done with the highest odds

at the base 1/4096

4h

[wraith sonnet]

That's just odds in general.

You could catch the zephyr fish in 1 cast or 10,000 casts

[blazing surge]

Eevee and Delphox done in Friend Safari

Feebas via dexnav

[blazing surge]

Is the zephyr fish really that rare?

lies

[wraith sonnet]

It's just an example.

[blazing surge]

also have this one

[wraith sonnet]

Plus, there's all the little fishing nuances

[blazing surge]

without my OT tho

as I traded it for one of my delphox phases

probably a lampent

[wraith sonnet]

I never stop appreciating how cool that shiny is

[blazing surge]

it is really cool

if you find a "delta" mon on insurgence's wiki

and you'd want one

I can breed you one

[wraith sonnet]

I gotta message you privately because the next statement I need to make is one that'll get me a lot of unwanted attention from randos.

[blazing surge]

lol

sure

[pure star]

what the heck

another one?

[tribal rune]

what game is this

[blazing surge]

Insurgence

[tribal rune]

damn

I should play insurgence

[blazing surge]

it's good!

as long as you dont mind an edgy story

[tribal rune]

It's like the third time a screenshot catched my attention and the answer was insurgence

[tribal rune]

how edgy are we talking

[blazing surge]

I barely paid attention

but people call it edgy

[tribal rune]

it's an rpgmaker game?

[blazing surge]

[tight granite]

gotta pay attetnion smh

and attention aswell

[latent totem]

honestly worth looking up just for the memes

its hilariously bad

[atomic orchid]

First shiny I ever got. Before even knowing what a shiny was!

[latent totem]

did you kill it

[atomic orchid]

No got it

[latent totem]

lol

[atomic orchid]

Then my bro gave a family friend my copy of Emerald thinking it was his

[latent totem]

then you did better than I

[atomic orchid]

I’m cursed to never have a random shiny

[latent totem]

my first shiny was a Mime Jr

aka

the one that got away

[unkempt egret]

my first shiny was a red gyarados... caught as a magikarp in emerald while looking for a feebas

[latent totem]

was all the way back in Diamond

[unkempt egret]

I actually did catch it but I raised it up to like level 46 as a magikarp because I thought it'd lose its yellowness if it evolved

[latent totem]

LOL

[atomic orchid]

I also caught a Wingull with green stripes in the same game

[unkempt egret]

eventually I just saved before I evolved it (I was young lol) and surprise, red gyarados!

[latent totem]

the fact you're more likely to run into a shiny pokemon before running into a RSE feebas is hilarious to me

[atomic orchid]

I didn’t know it was hard until I saw it on Serebii. After that, no more Feebas

[coarse estuary]

whats everyones one physical cartridge pokemon save that they would murder people if it got deleted? for me its my black playthrough where i found a random full odds shiny of my second favorite pokemon line ever.

[atomic orchid]

Soul Silver with all the mystery gift mons

I would have said Scarlet with two accidental shinies and a hunted shiny Noibat, but that’s gone already
(Tech issue meant new Switch. And my SD had to be wiped to be used on a new device😭)

[latent totem]

my old SS save

I deleted it myself after I transfered all my mons off it

but if anyone so much as looked at my SS cartridge the wrong way, they wouldn't last 5 seconds

[coarse estuary]

luckily for me all the people i know personally irl would not have the foggiest idea on how to delete my pokemon white save but im always worried about running into one random kid wanting to play who deletes it either not knowing what he was doing or the karen approch because i let him try it that meant i was giving it to him

[next silo]

Is every legendary that you can't get from the indigo disk hacked?

I'm genuinely curious, cuz I can't put landorous in the game from home, cuz it hasn't been obtained in this save file but there's no way to get to him in the game

[unkempt egret]

currently scarlet since that's what I have the most mons on

but that's in the switch itself not in the cart

[jade crypt]

Currently Sword. All my shinies that could be moved to it were and then there's everything I caught in it.

[jade crypt]

Landorus should be transferable into Scarlet and Violet. There might be some specific reason why yours can't but I honestly don't know what it would be. I have a groudon in home from pogo that I wasn't able to transfer and couldn't figure out why.

[pure star]

my violet save has like 160+ shinies, some of which i hunted for hours to get

like my goodra, jigglypuff, and forretress

[digital root]

I think you cant transfer Pokemon from pogo if you don't have them already

[pure star]

wait so if i get a shiny deoxys from go i can't transfer it to s/v

[polar rose]

No you can't

There are certain legendary Pokemon and normal pokemon that can't be put in Scarlet and violet

[latent totem]

Yeah, thank gamefreak for getting rid of the national dex

[unkempt egret]

you can to swish I think?

or is deoxys one of the few that's BDSP only

but yea you need a deoxys from a non-go location registered first before you can freely GO import

[digital root]

Deoxys is in sv

[next silo]

Did you catch groundon, from the treat?

@digital root you are correct, you can't transfer them from go to scarlet/violet, unless you already have a copy of one that's not from Go

[unkempt egret]

so for deoxys, either an event one or one obtained from ORAS

[digital oar]

Quick question. I've been wanting to download a version of Pokemon Platinum to play on my laptop (Windows 10), but I've had bad experiences with getting malware or problems with my devices are downloading games and apps from even generally well-trusted sources. Is there a good place for me to download Pokemon Platinum from that minimizes those risks as much as possible?

[hard zinc]

i know it's an emerald question, not an inf fusion's one, but what level does ralts learn a damaging move in emerald version?

[unkempt egret]

I think somewhere in the 6-7 range?

[hard zinc]

where do i get xp share in emerald

[unkempt egret]

fight off the aqua grunts in slateport, then backtrack and talk to the president in rustboro to get it

[jade crypt]

I honestly don't remember, it's been a couple years since I got it.

[jade crypt]

Actually it's just deliver the letter to Steven in Dewford Cave and go back to the President.

[proven geyser]

in legends i found a shiny staraptor in a regular outbreak, then a kricketot right in front of a distortion
i failed the kricketot but i'm happy i finally got my first area shiny!!
for reference, while playing this different save, the only shiny i had in the start was the 100% ponyta

in every other area i'd unlocked gave me a shiny(petilil which I was VERY happy abt, and tentacruel which is my watering mon at jubilife)

i dont have a coronet shiny yet iirc

was hoping to grab it when i went to get my voltorb(to replace my decidueye+luxray. the former is cool but the chimchar i got from questing is better for my needs)

plus if I really wanted a grass/fight id use my shiny lilligant

shes very pretty and it sucks she has no spot on my team

so far I have Infernape, Gardevoir(fairy/psyc is a fantastic combo and he learns AURA SPHERE), Gastrodon(pink!), Weavile, Sligoo(Goodra), and a future Electrode

my completes so far are shinx(I think?), Wurmple, and Buneary

[prime gyro]

Shonx

[proven geyser]

i was right, just those shinies and just those completes!

[proven geyser]

i forgor how violently symmetrical infernapes stats are if you invest equally with neutral nature

he had plus defense minus speed and i switches to neutral, and was just taken aback by how mixed he is

i invest equal bc you get a lot of stage 1 dust and im too lazy to exchange most of the time

but i prioritize what i need most

[coarse estuary]

becuase i decided to not wait for summer lapras like origonally planned. what would be a good 6th mon (mega fire red moemon)

[unkempt egret]

water type probably (also normal skorupi just chillin)

[coarse estuary]

lol it just never had a sprite made for this menu. it looks like the others when in battle

[proven geyser]

added starly and bidoof, about time! plus buizel! no new shinies, but i'm getting frustrated w having shitty mints so i'm getting a new goomy

[swift quiver]

Mission objective: defend chip and nugget

2 were intended

1 was accidental

Squishy was the wrong cacoon

[pine ingot]

guys, I have a theory

[unkempt egret]

so what you're saying is that ||cyrogonal should have a response to special attacks that OHKO's both parties||

||or is that the physical one I forgot. one does it with magic and one does it with physical||

[brisk hedge]

Somebody make a cryongonal fusion that is this

[unkempt egret]

cyrogonal isn't in, but starmie wouldn't be too hard to find one for

[inland sand]

rate my names in pokemon rejuvination also i modded poryper in because this joke has taken my family hostage

[weak plaza]

DELELEWOOOOO and This are top-tier names

Geofemale could've been Geodudette

Noodl is a regular kind of name

I don't get the joke with Anbird

Isn't Devito the last name of a celebrity or something?

[inland sand]

danny devito; there is a trash man joke with him

this might be a better one

[scenic whale]

THIS!

#other-pokemon-games message

[jade crypt]

I think I need to get an update for rejuvenation cuz mine looks way different. Granted I got it like 2 years ago almost so there's definitely probably been updates.

[inland sand]

yee, this is version 13.5.6 i believe

i had to start a new game, my save was a little weird at converting

but it should be easier doing everything a 2nd time since i am more familiar with the game

[jade crypt]

I mean yes and no, cuz the game is still gonna be hard.

[inland sand]

fair

i am not looking foward to redoing ||dusknoirs maze||

[hard zinc]

be me
play pokemon emerald randomizer
pick ralts as starter over magikarp and poocheyena cuz one can't attack, and the other is weak to fairy
realize ralts only has growl since its level 5,
also realize fairy isn't in emerald.
lose the first fight
cry

[inland sand]

[sleek jewel]

Yes

[jade crypt]

Omg yeah, I hate that puzzle so damn much.

[sleek jewel]

what puzzle?

also heres some tips for mazes always stick to the right wall and youll find the way

[jade crypt]

Yeah the tips are there but it doesn't make actually running through it easier, accidentally get caught on a wall near the end and have to start all over again. It's annoying asf

[inland sand]

yeah

i had to save scum my way through in small safe areas i found first time around

its a maze you have to run trough without getting caught on any walls or dead ends

the maze part isnt really the hard part

its the extra stipulations

i might stream here soon, on chapter 2

[inland sand]

and even then, it was hard

[hard plume]

kinda played a little of it, but then I chickened out

up to the point where I caught slurmp

[tulip ruin]

Lol

I always begin playing it

And then stop for some reason

Then start again XD

Just seeing this makes me want to play it again

[proven geyser]

my brain freezes whenever i hear the PLA shiny sound

now i hear it and immediately pull a menu to save

Buneary is my complete in the area(and wurmple) but blue is lovely

[rugged comet]

Nice

[sturdy sparrow]

the correct response

[proven geyser]

i mean cuz like!! i have no fucking clue what or where it is!!

it could despawn!!

or it could be a scared reaction type!!

[sleek jewel]

let's GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[hard plume]

gonna be honest

I missed slurmp

I didn't evolve my slurmp into anything, but I really do miss the slurmps

...and jibbs.

barely did anything with jibbs

named him after this:

[sturdy sparrow]

would u be a pokemon player if u didnt have that reaction to the shiny noise?

[proven geyser]

my original reaction was to look around wildly

but yknow, i learned the hard way

[tulip ruin]

I think that's the most 2010 hip hop movie cover i ever saw

It's kinda funny slurmp made you chicken out especially because of the starter you choosed

I try to get that as a shiny :3

[hard plume]

it's the difficulty that made me chicken out

[tulip ruin]

It's weird

The first spike comes into the first arena

[clear dew]

AHHHH

AHHHH

AHHH

[tulip ruin]

That's extremely cool

[raven gale]

WOW !! What’s the game ?

[untold dawn]

hey guys has anyone played pokémon daybreak?

[untold dawn]

bro I've been playing Pokemon games for 11 years now and I've never once encountered a shiny

[clear dew]

[untold dawn]

but every third encounter i get is a hidden ability

[pure star]

hidden abilities aren't really that rare tbf

but 11 years without a shiny is unfortunate

[hard plume]

i remember my first time getting a shiny

it was a pancham

in pokemon moon

I named it coco

[silver gazelle]

I remember my first time finding a shiny
Full odd Lugia that was a failed capture in SS

[tulip ruin]

My first shiny i can remember was a shiny durant i think

In sun and moon

I can also remember my first shiny i needed to defeat

A shiny nuzleaf in omega ruby

[proven geyser]

my first was a lilipup in BW. my ds was red and i didn't know how to save

i was like 9 or whenever BW was popular

the first one i got to keep was an audino for reasons that should be obvious

[tulip ruin]

You mean new

[proven geyser]

eh

i never got anything when it was new

[tulip ruin]

It was pretty infamous

[proven geyser]

not brand new anyhow

[tulip ruin]

Like every new game

[proven geyser]

man idk i dont feel like looking up the release

[tulip ruin]

Just wait a couple gens and it's liked

I hate this cycle

[pure star]

my first shiny was a rookidee in the sword postgame lol

never got one playing gen 5,6, or 7

[pine ingot]

the only legitimate shiny i got was a zweilous i found in a victory road of whatever game i found it in, and it's currently a hydreigon in pokemon moon

[proven geyser]

the green is lowkey kinda nice tbh

[pine ingot]

i say "legitimate shiny" because i'm 99% sure the shiny pokemon i got in a trade were all obtained in a bad way

[proven geyser]

i used wonder trades to complete the usum dex and have a box labeled "DeadCNS trophies" simce most are from the guy who sends past event pokemon hacks out via bot

you can't use GTS search willy nilly bc ppl have profiles that are corrupt to the point of crashing ur DS

but you can set up a trade, and if it's not done in abt a day, the DeadCNS gives u the mon ur requesting

using a litten with a specific name string allows you to request certain things

so I'd ask for No Shiny and nothing else tbh

u can get natures, IVs i think, HA, but i just cared abt the dex

but the wifi communication was shut down i think, so that was literally my last ever chance to get some of these things

when i got a perfect iv lvl100 shiny thing holding masterball, i just grabbed the ball and released it lol

id evolve gastly and abra and send em out(no item) bc im a nice person yknow, and also my ver exclusives

i feel like sending trade evos with their items if needed in wonder trades is purely lawful good

[pure star]

getting a trade evo with an everstone is chaotic evil

[pine ingot]

nah, we don't call that chaotic neutral

we call that mindy

[unkempt egret]

Once Done Never Forgiven

[pure star]

"Oh sweet a free Gengar!"

[unkempt egret]

"sorry, please trade with your friend if you want a gengar, now that you know to do it without the stone."

[proven geyser]

the phantump guy in usum is a blessing

no BS just same mon trade to get tht stupid evo

[pure star]

people in alola are pretty nice

i love fossil mons

they're so cool

also pretty good

[frank lily]

Got this guy after a gruelling 1366 eggs. Hopefully I’ll get a female for Wormadam soon

[coarse estuary]

so i was thinkin of doin a pokemon white playthrough and want yalls help to make a community team. who wants to help?

[tropic hinge]

Yeah, usually the hacked shinies are obvious for several reasons. Perfect iv's, usually level 5 or 100, and almost always with a website for a name. I've gotten one shiny through trades that I'm confident wasn't hacked, little milcery named Sparkles.

[proven geyser]

i got a shiny groudon with the correct level for usum wormholes, but it was more likely duped bc who the fuck sends the one-per-save shiny legend via trades

that or they wanted to reset and felt nice but it's more likely duped

[clear dew]

tepig #1

[coarse estuary]

no as you are not doing it how i asked

[pure star]

the only good thing about hacked mons is the free ability patch/masterball they might be holding

and for the "100% real not hacked" legendary mon

[silver gazelle]

What's that?

[coarse estuary]

it works as once we gen 6 people from all the various cords i asked this in i have 1 person pick my starter then the other 5 give me mons to use. then as i encounter them ill name them after the discord user that suggested the mon

[silver gazelle]

Ohh, interesting 🤔
Down to help then

[coarse estuary]

cool then we got 3/6

insert bon jovi song reference here

[tropic hinge]

Yep. When I get one I just grab the item and release them.

[wraith latch]

anyways what's the slowdown key? i'm going to play Rocket Red soon

[soft knot]

I decided to reset my 656 hour copy of Pearl so I can do void glitch shenanigans.
I think it took me like 500 hours to obtain a strand of Pokerus for myself on my file.
My new file I get it in less than 90 minutes.

[coarse estuary]

@silver gazelle give me your mon of choice

[silver gazelle]

Question, are you allowed to evolve the mon?

[coarse estuary]

yes. i will evolve it into its final form only rules are no post game mons and no legendaries

[silver gazelle]

Gotcha gotcha, I choose Tympole then :]

[coarse estuary]

lol 2 electric types goes crazy lol. the odds are so funny to me

[silver gazelle]

that's Tynamo

[coarse estuary]

oh my bad miss read it

[silver gazelle]

you're good, you're good

[coarse estuary]

we still could have type over lap depending on what starter is picked and what the other 2 people chose that dont pick the starter

[silver gazelle]

with how limited mons there are in gen 5, I can see it

either grass, bug, or water

[coarse estuary]

i mean we already have an out of the box pick with cottonee

[silver gazelle]

is Cottonee the type exclusive for White or you have to trade for an NPC for that one?

[coarse estuary]

id have to do the npc trade but thats not that big of a deal to do

[silver gazelle]

yeah okay okay, not misremembering then

hoping for the best for ya

[coarse estuary]

ill just have to pkhex the nickname for the person who suggested it

so far this discord assembled team lookin decent. i shall return tomorrow with the full team once the other 3 people deliver their picks

[lilac hull]

someone name a pokemon type

any

[gritty verge]

Steel

[lilac hull]

alright

I put this in the wrong channel lol

[gritty verge]

Lmao

Anyways what's this about?

[lilac hull]

steel types only

[gritty verge]

Nice

[lilac hull]

what dex number is aron?

[pure star]

ok 5/6 mons gotten all we need is the last person to respond then ill reveal the team

[royal frost]

I hope the creators put ogrepon in the game

[rugged comet]

It's only going to gen 7

[royal frost]

Didn't know that

[sleek jewel]

i need quick advice i found galade articuno should i use my master ball?

in pokemon go

too late i used the master ball

[unkempt egret]

tbh using the MBall there isn't a bad choice

0.3% capture rate and 90% flee rate

[unkempt egret]

I used my first one on this:

ya know, in case jungle cup ever comes back

[coarse estuary]

ok then now all the mons have been picked here is the team. moon picked serperior as the starter, kyatra picked seismatoad, selphy picked whimsacott, stragus picked galvantula, blahaj picked excadrill and blueberry picked bisharp. this seems like a fun team

[ruby pond]

Anyone wanna play prop hunt in pokemon???

[sleek jewel]

Yeah besides the galade birds are the only legendaries you can get in the wild

[hearty fable]

I have a question

Does anyone know if the Scarlet and Violet memory leak issues are fixed?

[warm rose]

Which ball fits with meloetta

Maybe safari? Since it changes into an orangey color with that move and originally is green

[vernal garnet]

cottonee vs big scary fighting bird

also nice

[unkempt egret]

cottonee still proably wins in that situation lol

since I don't recall GZapdos learns any flying quick moves and has a bulk disadvantage

[umbral egret]

it would be really funny if a fossil pokemon mega evolved

and it was just another pokemon

like Armaldo or Kabutops mega evolved into Golisopod

[pure star]

mega tyrantrum is just groudon lol

[empty swift]

Guys

Who has a piplup they aren't using in pokemon bdsp

I am having trouble with the elite four

For far my team is pretty strong but not strong enough

Link code is 12341234

[pine ingot]

hey dose anyone have any good pokemon fan games to try out

[empty swift]

I will give a blastoise for a piplup or anything in the evolution line

[vernal garnet]

Remote raids go brrr

Also ivs where i accidentally doxxed myself for 10 seconds

[untold dawn]

Has anyone played Pokemon Daybreak?

[warm rose]

HOLY MOLY 6K POINTS??

[swift quiver]

Pokemon Insurgence, Pokemon Re-union

[swift quiver]

You are on a randomiser right?

[swift quiver]

New update for my hardcore nuzlocke team (now going up mt. Chimney)

[warm rose]

No?

[swift quiver]

Then how did u encounter meloetta? Is it just THERE in the dlc or are you hacking

[warm rose]

you can encounter it in dlc

[swift quiver]

Bet it's shinylocked though

[warm rose]

Yeah i think so

[swift quiver]

GF making the most beautiful shinies then softlocking them:

shinylocking*

[warm rose]

I caught it in safari ball

[vernal garnet]

Nope! You can get meloetta in the dlc

Its like a mew under the truck thing where you gotta head to a specific area, spin for 10 seconds, then flip open the camera and activate the sepia filter

[clear dew]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I WAS JUST DOING SOME GRINDING AND THIS BEAUTIFUL PURPLE LIPPED BITCH SHOWS UP

[tulip ruin]

I like it's design

[clear dew]

its just all brains lol

and the only nickname it shall have

is Noggin

[tulip ruin]

Idk something about it maybe because it's shiny colors

[clear dew]

imagine the purple replaced by red/pink

[warm rose]

mew under truck?

[tulip ruin]

Yeah the normal wouldn't be something I would put into my team

[clear dew]

oh but you should, its a special wall, its defensive as fuck

water/psychic

[vernal garnet]

I dont even know lmao

[tulip ruin]

Ohhh yeah that sounds extremely good

[vernal garnet]

Search it ig

[clear dew]

this is the evolution

[tulip ruin]

Yoooooo

[calm herald]

Where's this from

[clear dew]

pokemon uranium

[calm herald]

Oh

[clear dew]

head over to the discord if you wanna downlaod it

[calm herald]

I haven't gotten to play it yet

Some other time I'm extremely busy

[pine ingot]

[frank lily]

[peak roost]

yo does anyone play PTGOM

[jade crypt]

Officially yes but I believe you can still get it. Idr how tho.

[remote orbit]

You have to join their discord

Iirc

Nice

[peak roost]

[next silo]

What's that?

[peak roost]

pokemon this gym of mine

TGOM for short

[next silo]

I do not, currently playing shining pearl

[peak roost]

oh ok

[next silo]

I've seen a bunch of game play of it on tiktok, it seems fun

Anyone else shiny hunting in bdsp?

[ruby pond]

Anybody wanna play prop hunt in pokemon?

[peak roost]

is there a way to use full screen on TGOM?

[median hornet]

My team in Pokemon Shattered light

[latent totem]

101 SRs down, god knows how many remaining

[signal pivot]

2000* more SRs to go!!!

[latent totem]

2000... right

I'd be lucky if I saw it in 3000

the odds were double what they are now up to gen 5

[signal pivot]

yay yay!

its time you suffer more than your already suffering!!!

[latent totem]

emulated HGSS too

don't feel like pulling my DS out of storage

[unkempt egret]

my 3DS is currently in my desk resting a bit after a nostalgia binge of another series, which is good since it's gonna get a lot of work in june and july playing X/Y and sun/moon lol

[latent totem]

ngl, I'm kinda sad that gamefreak refuses to make the older titles availble on newer hardware

I would love like

a whole ass collection of all the older games to allow for transferring up to the newer gens

[versed chasm]

why is infernape sun burnt

it is just the image quality or it is just like that

ive literally never seen shiny infernape thats craxy

[latent totem]

yeah, that's always what shiny infernape has looked like

ketchup monkey

[atomic ibex]

Relic Castle (Website) got shut down y'all

[vale vault]

I've more or less ironed out my official team, the six pokemon I wanna someday assemble to bring with me to every game moving forward. That said, I feel I've put too much focus into type coverage as opposed to just all the pokemon I'd like. I wanna make sure if it's necessary for me to compromise on anything or if it's possible to have more than one pokemon of the same type and still be more or less ok.

To that end, what are the six types that community consensus would say are essential to a full team, and is there wiggle room for more than one pokemon of who share types?

[atomic ibex]

Yes

What's the roster you're currently thinking about?

And what mons would you prefer to add?

There's always the possibility of making it more than 6

Especially since some games don't allow every species

Essential Types are usually Water, Ground, Flying, and Electric. But any team can have full coverage

[vale vault]

At current my team consists of;
Feraligatr
Corviknight
Tyrantrum
Gardevoir
Krookodile
Salazzle
I love all of 'em, sure, but there's a handful I also love more than some of the options there. Some of these include;
Helioptile
Breloom
Archeops
Noivern
Scolipede
Tyranitar
Aggron
Baxcalibur
Rampardos
Galvantula
Skeledirge
Seviper
Aurorus
Skarmory
Sceptile

[atomic ibex]

Then just keep em all in a box and rotate them between games based on availability

They're all amazing mons and it lets you enjoy the experience

[vale vault]

Huh... I suppose that is an option, yeah.

[atomic ibex]

It's what I do

Especially since many games don't allow a Mon until dex updates come in

Oh how I missed Delphox

[vale vault]

Aaah, Delphox was a nice one, yeah. I suppose beyond that then, out of the ones I've mentioned are there any that should be immediate omissions or auto includes between the list and current team comp?

[atomic ibex]

I'd say just rotate each member out every once in a while for another mon

Attempt mono type rosters every so often to challenge yourself

Leave obvious gaps in your defenses at times so you learn to counter them

Otherwise just have fun

[vale vault]

Fair enough. I suppose then the first step would be to wait for a pokemon game that actually looks like 100% effort, second being have money, lmao.

[atomic ibex]

I mean, SV is fun. But a tad glitchy even with the fixes

I'd say hope PLZA is good or wait for Gen 10

Good luck

[vale vault]

My thoughts exactly.

[vernal garnet]

heliolisk is based

archeops?? aurorus?? galvantula?? +10000 based points, new WR

[vale vault]

What can I say? I love my dinosaurs and Galvantula is adorable. XD

There's probably more names that've somehow slipped my mind, but I suppose those all are the most important if those are the ones I immediately remember.

[atomic ibex]

I like Galvantula, probably my favorite spider Pokemon atm

[vernal garnet]

i really liked using tsareena in sv, there was so much coverage available

[atomic ibex]

Shame they nerfed a bunch of mons instead of just making other mons stronger

Goodbye Copperajah's type coverage

[vernal garnet]

bruh

[atomic ibex]

They took power whip away from like twelve mons with zero explanation

The move is still there

Just not for them

Same with other moves

[vernal garnet]

yeah thats annoying :/

makes copperajah at least do something against ground types

[atomic ibex]

It's like when they took Aerial Ace away from Zoroark for one game

[unkempt egret]

meanwhile I'm like "bit crazy that copperajah even got power whip in the first place"

[atomic ibex]

It could still use it if it had it from a previous game but it couldn't learn the move

[vernal garnet]

????? why

[vernal garnet]

big ass trunk

[atomic ibex]

Grass energy on the trunk

[unkempt egret]

I think the loss I'm the most sad about is stonjourner losing wonder room but at least that one has an explanation of wonder room not being an actual TM anymore

[hasty kite]

does anyone remember that website that you could create custom pokemon on and then get them sent to your pokemon platinum game?

[tacit tiger]

somebody wanna

[tulip ruin]

Yes

[warm rose]

WWW

[tulip ruin]

W

[warm rose]

I'm actually hunting for zygarde lol

[tulip ruin]

Still

W

[tacit tiger]

just found out that pignite in bb2r is fire ground and not fire/fighting

[tulip ruin]

Nice

[latent totem]

Good

[tacit tiger]

yeah i didnt want type overlap but then i chose Oshawott which is fighting water
i wanted to also use a lucario

[harsh crest]

Anyone around?

[tulip ruin]

Around where

[harsh crest]

In general ^-^

I was trying to design a fakemon within the realm of realism and wondered if there was a place/people that like with brainstorming that kind of stuff around here

[tulip ruin]

Ohh yeah

I would be down

[zenith nexus]

Pop quiz, what Pokémon's stats are these?)

[unkempt egret]

Not a Pokemon, programming bug, next question

[latent totem]

AINT NO WAY

[scenic whale]

Missigno

[zenith nexus]

Ding ding ding

[scenic whale]

Should be made a real pokemon tbh

That'd be sick

[latent totem]

I wanted a totodile tho...

do I stick with this?

[gritty verge]

You can have a totodile on any other run, you can't have a 1/8000 shiny chikorita on any run

[latent totem]

true

APPLE IT IS

[tulip ruin]

I really really like chikorita

[gritty verge]

Apple achieved

[unkempt egret]

Golden Delicious

[gritty verge]

What kinda team you planning on making?

[latent totem]

WHAT

Wait....

oh

that would be why

[gritty verge]

OhXDDDD

Wrong Silver huh

[latent totem]

well,

hilarious that cynthia of all people is waiting outside of mr pokemon's house

[gritty verge]

My biggest question is how is this man so important that he is named after a whole category of species

That's like if we had someone named mr. Bird or sth

[latent totem]

sweet, she gave me an eevee

Free umbreon

[latent totem]

okay, I'm really liking SGSS

[gritty verge]

I mean they are good hacks ofc you like me

Em*

[latent totem]

helps that HGSS are like

on my list of top 10 best games of all time

[gritty verge]

Damn

I couldn't make a top 10 games of all time tier list tbh XD

[latent totem]

HGSS honestly feel like where pokemon Peaked

[tulip ruin]

So early a peak

I mean it's your personal opinion

[latent totem]

well, look at it this way

[gritty verge]

I think BW/B2W2 kept some of the the charm but after that only legends arceus really stood out

[latent totem]

up to gen 4, no mechanics or features were cut from game to game

gen 5 started that trend and I hated it

[tulip ruin]

I really like gen 5

[latent totem]

Gen 5 is... fine

[tulip ruin]

Especially that they want you to use new Pokemon

I don't like gen 4

I hate gen 1

[gritty verge]

It was strange that they cut out every mon but I was gonna use new mons anyways so it didn't really affect me. Can get the frustration tho

[latent totem]

but coming off of HGSS, they really felt like a downgrade

[tulip ruin]

I don't it feels for me like such a minor point

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-of-the-rings-wizard-saruman-so-you-have-chosen-death-gif-24634148

[tulip ruin]

Gen 2 feels like a gen 1 dlc

[gritty verge]

I think HGSS had the single best mechanic tho

[latent totem]

LIES

[gritty verge]

Following pokemon were such a nice addition

[latent totem]

Gen 2 improved on Gen 1 in every way

[tulip ruin]

And gen 3 was nice and it's charming for sure

[tulip ruin]

Similar bugs and issues

The berry balls

[gritty verge]

But the pokemon distribution was terriblleee. So many gen 2 pokemon could only be found in kanto+really weak mons that needed evos later

Tho it does house my favourite pokemon so I guess that's a redeeming point for gen 2

[latent totem]

that is true

[pure star]

ngl every gen had a load of problems

[tulip ruin]

The games are all flawed

[latent totem]

I still like johto as a region infinitely more than kanto

[tulip ruin]

Gen 4 had the thing where you can skip the whole game

[gritty verge]

I still come back to 3 the most often. Both Firered/Leafgreen and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald

[latent totem]

huh?

https://tenor.com/view/wtff-cat-confused-orange-gif-25858653

[tulip ruin]

Yeah in the first city

[pure star]

sinnoh has so little variety imo

[tulip ruin]

With the step walker

[gritty verge]

Oh with the whole walk through walls into the void glitch?

[tulip ruin]

Yeah

You can skip the whole game with that

[latent totem]

I mean, that's a glitch

[tulip ruin]

Still

It is in the game

[latent totem]

plus I almost think it was intentional because the devs hid some easter eggs out of bounds

[gritty verge]

But it did have great pokemon, all evos hit that great spot imo plus iconic designs like Garchomp, Lucario, Spiritomb. Plus we got the best champion in Cynthia

[pure star]

gen 1 has missingno which just completley screws with the game

[tulip ruin]

Gen two has some not working balls

[latent totem]

this

[pure star]

gen 3 has the battle palace

[gritty verge]

Gen 3 has the pomeg glitch I think it's called

[pure star]

i hate the battle palace

[latent totem]

Gen 4 has the entirety of the battle frontier in all its glory

[tulip ruin]

I don't like garchomp

Lucario feels mid for me

[latent totem]

still pissed at game freak that they seem to hate the battle frontier

LIKE

WHY?

[gritty verge]

I never really cared for postgame content in my pokemon games, whenever I'm done with the league I just reset to try a nuzlocke or a new challenge or whatever

[gritty verge]

Yeah in OR/AS they pulled the rug out from under us so hard XD

[tulip ruin]

I never experienced the battle frontier but what i saw it doesn't look so interesting

[pure star]

it's pretty fun for the most part

[tulip ruin]

Just something for people taking Pokemon way too seriously

[latent totem]

the main draw was infinite random battles to keep you busy

with tons of rewards

[gritty verge]

Yeah I think especially back in the day where kids sank a lotta time into it it probably was really damn fun

[latent totem]

its basically experiancing multiplayer in singleplayer

plus

battle factory

[tulip ruin]

What do you need these iteams for?

The game is over

[pure star]

battle frontier lol

[tulip ruin]

I just don't touch my copy after that anyway

[pure star]

getting the gold medals from the facilities was fun for a lot of people

[latent totem]

unless its HGSS where there is a post game for the post game

and a post game for that post game

like'

[gritty verge]

But like back in the day imagine you only had 1 save file you were attached to. You aren't just gonna reset your favourite friends are you? Kids needed sth to keep them busy after the league. That's probably a pokemon experience we could never really get again, sinking hundreds of hours into a copy cuz you had nothing better to do

[latent totem]

this is why I would love a game that combines at least the first 4 regions

[tulip ruin]

I never saw my pokemons as my friends

[pure star]

cyrus mentality

or ghetsis

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-pokemon-masters-ex-pokemon-silver-pokespe-pokemon-hgss-gif-12331597574240438301

SILVER

BEGONE

[tulip ruin]

Especially because i had a game with a dead battery once and my brother used to always start a new game

I have my fun collection them using them and afterwards they just existed

[latent totem]

you are litterally the exact opposite of me

[pure star]

i don't treat all of my pokemon as a friend

[latent totem]

ofc

[pure star]

if we're counting boxxed mons

cause i really don't like my shiny cufants in violet

[latent totem]

but I do get sentimental about pokemon I put actual effort into training

especially shinies

[tulip ruin]

Shinys are the only valuable thing

[gritty verge]

Well you missed a big part of the pokemon experience then lmao

I started with the anime cuz where I'm from the games werent too popular but it always felt like I had a bond with these mon and then I got my first game (sun) and it was really great and I felt my pokemon being just a part of my adventure

[tulip ruin]

The rest i train until i beat a game and them forget i had them in my team

[pure star]

i'm building a bug mono team in violet with mons i like

and one is a shiny lokix named Sanji who just clicks first impression and u-turn

[gritty verge]

One piece fan? Intense culture detected

[latent totem]

its why I despise the whole bullshit gamefreak is doing right now, locking huges swaths of the pokedex in home

[tulip ruin]

Maybe i just can't because i don't even pay a single minute to the story

[pure star]

if i had a genesect i would use it

but i don't have one

and it's not in gen 9

:(

[tulip ruin]

Why using old when you have new

[gritty verge]

You don't need to, I don't remember most of shield yet I got so attached to skwovet for some reason that I shiny hunted it. I've never shiny hunted before or since but I needed my beautiful Garnet boi

[pure star]

i've shiny hunted out of spite lol

[tulip ruin]

I just think a mon is pretty capture it and then own it like a trophy

[latent totem]

I hate this mentality

[tulip ruin]

Why

You already had when with the old

[gritty verge]

Nostalgia? It just being more special? It holding more sentimental value? There are tons of reasons for liking old more than new

[tulip ruin]

Now is a fresh new adventure with new mons

I hate nostalgia

Nostalgia is the reason i like a bad game

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/die-just-die-gif-23172530

[tulip ruin]

Nostalgia is the reason we think bad stuff is good

[gritty verge]

That's a take I never thought I would hear

[tulip ruin]

The pink tainted goggles

[latent totem]

there's nothing wrong with nostalgia

its blind nostalgia that's the problem

[tulip ruin]

There is many things wrong with it

[gritty verge]

Who cares if a game is good or bad? Just enjoy it. If nostalgia means you enjoy it then go right ahead and play "bad" games

[latent totem]

or nostalgia pandering that feels like it has no reason to be there

I'm looking at you, mega charizard

[pure star]

you're allowed to like a bad game as long as you acknowledge it's bad/flawed

[tulip ruin]

Because of nostalgia i like the cat in the hat ps2 game

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[pure star]

thats fine lol

[tulip ruin]

Yeah

[latent totem]

hilarious, but I can respect it

[tulip ruin]

Plus nostalgia is the reason only 90s kids remember trend that used to exists

[latent totem]

but yeah I still miss my first ever totodile

Chomper, the big ol lug

[tulip ruin]

I can't remember my first starter

Probably a grass starter with the name AAAAAAAA

[latent totem]

lost him, along with an event celebi

[pure star]

oof

hope that in plza we can get diancie

or hoopa

[tulip ruin]

With the character name being AAAAAAAAA

[latent totem]

along with a whole ass copy of Pokemon White version

F

[tulip ruin]

I mean i learned reading later plus adhd

So yeah it was just spamming A to make everything goes faster

Text box speed 3

And always holding b or using the bicycle

[latent totem]

I've always been a fast reader so

[tulip ruin]

I still play it like that

Tbh i would be confused anyway on what they are talking about

[latent totem]

I see text and I immediately take in the information

[tulip ruin]

I play every fangame/rom hack with the speed up

Just so i get faster done with it

[latent totem]

boy, you sound like a killjoy

[tulip ruin]

That's just how i play alone

And how am i a killjoy

Because i can't really make a connection with some digital sprites that are always the same

Because i don't want to be bothered with long walks and text that is just stopping me from playing

<@&306953740651462656>

[latent totem]

because it sounds like you just go through games without actually engaging with its mechanics

[steep crane]

?

[tulip ruin]

Got deleted

[latent totem]

there was a bot

[steep crane]

oh okay

return back to being sick

[tulip ruin]

I mean i guess i just feel like no joy playing everything so long alone

If i play with someone it's differently

But if i am alone i just want to battles and capturing

[pure star]

me and my friends have been planning to do a multi battle with the 4 of us

we're just waiting for someone to finish scarlet

[tulip ruin]

I don't really have someone

So i mostly try to drag my brother

I play games to skip time not something i feel very infested in

You could call me pretty much casual

[pure star]

i still play violet cause i want to build fun teams of mons

[tulip ruin]

I play voilet because i like the faster past and because i like this semi open

I don't like open world games for many reasons

First i have a very bad memory

Second it looks much the same and or feels the same

And much are pretty empty

Plus they feel pointless and sloww

[latent totem]

guess you're not a fan of mystery dungeon then :v

[tulip ruin]

They are okay

I get the appeal

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/breakdance-of-time-pmd-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-riolu-gif-13361005654725912571

[latent totem]

just okay is not how I'd describe any mystery dungeon game outside of gates to infinity

[pure star]

the synchro machine from indigo disk gives me hope

[tulip ruin]

That's your opinion

I think they are just slow

[latent totem]

an opinion many share

[tulip ruin]

And then i am not the norm

Is that now Illegal

Idc what the mass thinks

If many people love a game i can still hate it

If people don't like it i can still like it

[latent totem]

this is the internet, wrong opinions are illegal

https://tenor.com/view/mystery-dungeon-drowzee-tricked-deceived-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-gif-16043087230606629566

you're under arrest

[tulip ruin]

Okay

Here is another hot take

I like gimmicks

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/better-call-saul-bcs-gus-gus-fring-i-would-choose-my-next-words-gif-26287120

[tulip ruin]

Video gimmicks are very nice and especially if they are a bit more gimmicky because i just think it's more fun then just the same

I tend to use gimmick mons more then regular ones

[latent totem]

oh, you mean gimmick mons

[tulip ruin]

I mean in general

[latent totem]

its all about how well the gimmick is done

for example

[pure star]

shedinja is really funny

[latent totem]

Terastalizing and dynamaxing are god awful imo

[tulip ruin]

Nah

[pure star]

i like terastilization

[tulip ruin]

It's funny

And especially dynamaxing makes fun to use and have

[latent totem]

I don't really like it since it defeats the purpose of regional variants

[pure star]

how?

[latent totem]

whats the point of having a regional variant with a different typing if you can just make the regular mon the same type

[tulip ruin]

The appeal is the design i thought

[pure star]

they have different moves sets and stats usually

[tulip ruin]

I usually just use them for design

[latent totem]

and therefore they are more worthwhile to use

[tulip ruin]

If i want to use galar ponita because its a unicorn i will use it for that

[latent totem]

terastalizing means nothing if they have no moves to go with the new typing

[pure star]

it can be used defensively pretty well though

or just use tera blast

thats why regieleki is so good now

since it has bolt beam

[latent totem]

plus its stealing arceus, kecleon, and greninja's gimmick

of being able to have stab on every type

[pure star]

protean is on meowscarada now

[tulip ruin]

If 4 mons have the same gimmich

[latent totem]

GRENINJA WAS THE FIRST

[pure star]

and silvally has the same thing as arceus

[tulip ruin]

Is it still a gimmick?

Greninja more like overrated mon

[pure star]

kecleon also has protean

[latent totem]

yes, since they each do it differently

[pure star]

technically type changing was porygon's thing

because of conversion

[latent totem]

I dunno, I just find it very hard to get invested in gimmicks that are just gonna be trashed with in a year or 2

[tulip ruin]

Like megas

[latent totem]

thats why I liked megas the most

[tulip ruin]

That people obsesses over

[pure star]

megas were great for casual play

but terrible for comp

[latent totem]

because unlike every other gimmick, it actually fixed a lot of pokemon

[tulip ruin]

Tbh i just pressed the insta win button

That's how mega felt like

[pure star]

and gave already strong ones even more strength

[tulip ruin]

Annoying animation for an insta win button

[latent totem]

yeah, that was the issue

[pure star]

i just hope more of the bad pokemon get a mega that fix them

[latent totem]

Mega Flygon, my beloved

[tulip ruin]

Flygon

Because dragon types don't get over used

[latent totem]

Flygon deserves a mega

[tulip ruin]

Why

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-shut-up-be-quiet-funny-gif-19370091

[tulip ruin]

No why

It's one of the many sudo legendary

[latent totem]

it ain't a psuedo

that's why it needs one

[tulip ruin]

It isn't a legendary either

[pure star]

its a normal pokemon

lol

[latent totem]

EXACTLY

[pure star]

it was supposed to get a mega too

but artist block

[latent totem]

it needs a mega because it gets outclassed constantly

[pure star]

rip

[pure star]

i wonder who's fault that is

[latent totem]

I swear to god, if mega flygon isn't the first mega revealed

I love garchomp, but yeah, it really did flygon dirty

[pure star]

i hope gen 10's pseudo isn't dragon type

cause

[latent totem]

at least garchomp's mega was bad to balance it out

[pure star]

i hope it's a bug type ngl

[latent totem]

that'd be wild

[tulip ruin]

As if

[pure star]

vikavolt is the gen 7 pseudo that never was

[latent totem]

Bug... whats a typing that would make a busted bug type?

[pure star]

bug/steel is amazing

only one weakness

[latent totem]

yeah, but quad weak to fire

which are EVERYWHERE

[tulip ruin]

Expect gen 4

With exact 2 fire mons

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-shut-up-be-quiet-funny-gif-19370091

[pure star]

that's only diamond and pearl tho

[tulip ruin]

Sorry 4

[latent totem]

we don't talk about that

Heatran shouldn't have been a legendary tbh

[pure star]

bug/electric is another good typing

[latent totem]

would've been a fantastic mid-late game fire type

fire steel is a great typing

[pure star]

they would have to lower it's stats a bit

[latent totem]

yeah

[pure star]

and nerf its signature

[latent totem]

because as it stands, its one of the most forgettable legendaries

[tulip ruin]

Keldeo

[pure star]

terrakion is pretty forgettable

[latent totem]

plus it doesn't really fit in with the rest of Gen 4s legendaries, all being mythical beings that in some instances shaped the universe/world

it just kinda

exists

plus its the only legendary that can be male or female, but still can't breed

[pure star]

urshifu can be male or female too

[latent totem]

okay, but none of that is even hinted at in game

[hard plume]

gonna be honest, I hate the thousands and thousands of people that say "oooh flygon needs to be a bug"

[pure star]

giving it bug stab would be enough for me

[hard plume]

because it's whole typing is a freakin pun

It's based off of Antlions and Sanddragons. Adult Antlions and dragonflies tend to get mixed up from one another, hence the evolutionary path.
The typing is because it is based on Progomphus, also known as a "Sanddragon".
Flygon is a literal SAND DRAGON.

[tulip ruin]

Yeah tbh i never really like flygon

I liked trapinch

But that was it

[latent totem]

it would actually be awesome if mega flygon gained an ability that gives it stab with bug moves, without actually being a bug type

[tulip ruin]

Why bug

Bug is like the type that most early mons get without benefits

[hard plume]

plus flygon only has like a few bug moves at its disposal

[latent totem]

U-turn and bug buzz stab tho

[pure star]

genesect and volcarona in question:

and lokix for some reason
