[timber siren]

How am I so stacked ewrly game lol

JWAG

NO WAY

A DYNAMAX BAND AND THEN IMMEDLY MAX MUSHROOMS..

idk who I should put it on..

aw

OMG LOL

@hard plume look I have gigantamax pikachu

[hard plume]

aw hell yeah

[timber siren]

Uhm btw how long does it last

Just like the games right..

Like only 3 or what

[latent granite]

Fat pikachu

[timber siren]

Lol

Aw man his stats didn’t go up

I domt even get g max thunderbolt

Oh well

Haha so big

BRO

HOW AM I SO LUCKY..

NOW I GET EXP CHARM😭

This game just wanst me to win

[latent granite]

Gmax pokemon in this don't get max moves

Also Pikachu's stats should've gone up check the forms wiki for the game

[timber siren]

Do they go up by a lot or smth

Cuz his healfh bar didn’t change

[unkempt egret]

I think gmaxes are treated as a second kind of mega evolution in rogue?

[latent granite]

In this game gmax and megas don't change HP stat

[timber siren]

Ugh bruh why is starters so hard to catch..

[timber siren]

Does it matter what level they are

[latent granite]

They have pseudo catch rate

[timber siren]

what

Bruh..

[latent granite]

Should've gotten ultra or rogue balls

[timber siren]

I jabw ultra lol

But it’s still not get in

Cuz why water pulse so strong

BRUHH😭😭

Finally

Yayyy it has adamant

[latent granite]

If you are in any of the water settings it rains, which boosts water moves, plus the stab

[tulip crown]

Know what's funny about pokerogue

Arceus cannot be found via an encounter

And is specifically highly weighted in legendary eggs

Every other legendary has the same rate

Except Arceus who is around 20% rarer from eggs

I got Arceus, multi type doesn't work, his passive is subpar at best and they didn't fully code judgement to even get it's AOE effect muchless it's type change

Arceus is actually F tier in pokerogue

[latent granite]

Put Arceus in all biomes but like 1/8691 id say that's fair

[tulip crown]

Ehh, it's just weird because they also made Arceus the only pokemon with a cost of 9

All other box legendaries are 8

And normal legendaries are 7

[hard plume]

i owned one of those in pokemon sword actually

I named him 3D

[tulip crown]

Everything about Arceus is a massive L and winning story mode with a normal type with its kit gutted in itself would be kinda impressive

I tried to do it, but mostly the non legendaries I caught were outpacing him

Crowbat was making Arceus look like a joke

[hard plume]

the origin of that name:

[tulip crown]

I feel like people underestimate crowbat

[latent granite]

Crobat is good, but people don't like it cause Zubat is annoying

[tulip crown]

He can use tailwind, haze, confuse ray, wind cutter

Which can be handy in multis, he flys so eqs don't effect him so he makes a great teammate for Groudon

He's ungodly fast so he can get his confused ray off or haze if the opponent sets up

And tailwind makes everything else ungodly fast

[hard plume]

plus he's poison flying
which destroys its weakness to ground

[tulip crown]

535 stat total is also quite good for a non legendary

[latent granite]

Still weak to psychic, rock, ice and electric

[tulip crown]

It's better than some legendaries

[latent granite]

That too

Ghost/dark or ghost/normal types are still best typings

[tulip crown]

Yeah I got a blue shiny nincada

Can do some crazy stuff

[latent granite]

I got blue shiny lugia around 3pm et today

Can't post the screenshot since I'm at work atm

[tulip crown]

Only blue shiny legendary I got is uxie

And uxie is uhh.. almost usable... Due to the fact he has a 90% skill that deals 80 DMG and boosts his spa by 1 stage

[timber siren]

Bruh why did I have such good run now craxhed wake is gonna killme..

I csnf let this be the end of me

[tulip crown]

Unaware is an interesting hidden ability too given it means he can hit through bosses with like +6 special defence

I've lost to silly things

More than a few times

After breezing through hard stuff

Often ivy likes to leave me with half my pokemon gone and revives cost too much

So I end up playing with only half my roster and get wiped by a gym leader or something

[timber siren]

Man this gyrados is so strong ima cry omg

[latent granite]

Ivy if she gets dracovish in the rain is a run ender

[timber siren]

YESSSS

G MAX PIKACHU FOR THE WIN

omg idk if I shoukd evolve pikachu..

Or let him stay as g max

Eh I will let him be normal so he can gmax

[tulip crown]

There's 3 pokemon I can guarantee a win with in classic

For farming vouchers

[timber siren]

I think ur a little late

I already beat him

[tulip crown]

1. I have a Max IV unnerve zacian

2. I have a great iv calyrex

[timber siren]

But you can say

[tulip crown]

3. I have kyogre

[timber siren]

Uh

It sounds like ur just flexing bro

[tulip crown]

Whos hiddens ability makes him immune to status effects

[tulip crown]

I've almost got full dex

Even Arceus

I'm not flexing, that's flexing

No those are the 3 I can guarantee a win with

[timber siren]

I thought you were tryna help me

[tulip crown]

The 3 strongest

[timber siren]

I mean

Is zeroara good

[tulip crown]

Protosynthesis Groudon has a good winrate

But not perfect

[timber siren]

Oh

I have xerneax

Is that good wi rate

Win

I mean it is fairy type

[tulip crown]

I have xerneas, I've tried a few runs with him

He was my 2nd box art behind Kyogre when I started

I failed runs because just fairy gets victimized

You need like fairy steel

Eternatus poison attack 1 shots xerneas before he can do anything

[timber siren]

Oh damn

[tulip crown]

As does a hurricane from mega Rayquaza

So I couldn't find a reasonable way to keep xerneas alive long enough to make impact on final boss fights

[timber siren]

Oh Alr

Well I hatch like the pre evo of tinkaton

So I’ll try that cuz everybody uses it

[tulip crown]

Yes but it'll take a while can't use tinkaton out the box

Need to unlock the passive huge power first

Which cost 30 friendship candies

[latent granite]

I can pretty much guarantee a win with photon geyser mewtwo

[tulip crown]

My first win was with iron crown

Psychic steel resists eternatus quite well

[timber siren]

Nice

[latent granite]

Except for flamethrower in classic

[timber siren]

Lol

[tulip crown]

Yeah, but ai seemed to be convinced flamethrower wasn't the play

I got 5 plates off eternatus 2nd phase

[timber siren]

Yeah I’ve barley seen him use flamethrower

[tulip crown]

Before he thought to use flamethrower on iron crown

[latent granite]

The ai can be... Questionable at times

[timber siren]

Which is good

Free wij

[tulip crown]

And finished with ddance gyrados

Ironically

[timber siren]

Bulk up saved me lol

[tulip crown]

Could get 3 ddance off on gyrados

[latent granite]

I won a run with entei as my primary surprisingly no ha or passive

[timber siren]

I think it’d be hard to get passive for entei..

[tulip crown]

Honestly that run I posted my team and people thought there was no way

Only 2 decent Pokemons I brought in was gyrados and iron crown

[timber siren]

Huh what was ur team

Lol

[tulip crown]

I forgot, but I recall everything was one shot except those 2

Ohh yeah 3, I forgot I had Metagross

[timber siren]

Wow

[tulip crown]

But it didn't even do a full plate

Died in 2 hits

[latent granite]

Not really he gets extreme apeed as an egg move and can start with sacred fire

[timber siren]

Oh that’s good

[tulip crown]

I only really won because eternatus spared iron crown

Long enough to remove the plates and get 3 ddance on gyrados

[timber siren]

My Uxie saved me cuz I got him to second phase with her still Alive and used momento

I only pick it up cuz I got memory mushroom lol

[tulip crown]

My uxie is t2 shiny with its hidden ability unaware

[timber siren]

Oh

[tulip crown]

Which allows ignoring stat changes

I can't seem to win an uxie run

As my main carry

Just isn't tanky enough

The mystical attack thing is great

It's like a better beast boost, but 70 base HP and defence ain't gonna cut it

[timber siren]

I used yawn mystical fire combo

It work well

[latent granite]

Go for the crits against emax then there isn't a need for unaware

[timber siren]

Fr

[tulip crown]

When I bring in like zacian or Kyogre I just like

Win everything without any close battles

So it's like, speed run to get vouchers

[timber siren]

I wish I had zacian 😢

[latent granite]

Kyogre is strong and people still somehow prefer Groudon over it

[timber siren]

Weird

[tulip crown]

It's because groudons hidden ability is mental

While kyogres is useless in unlimited

But great for classic

Kyogre blocks all negative status effects

Once you get 3 berry pouches you are immune to status effects anyways

Groudons hidden ability is protosynthesis

[timber siren]

Well that’s kinda rare..

[tulip crown]

And protosynthesis is bugged

It boosts your stats after other boosts are applied

It's supposed to do so independently

Apparently the code wasn't working any other way

So if you are +2, then protosynthesis boosts your +2 boosted stat by a further 30%

Rather than boosting base by 30% and then +2ing

It's a much bigger number

[latent granite]

Reshiram for some reason gets oricalcum pulse

[tulip crown]

Yeah, some legendaries got it better than others

Zacian didn't need unnerve

And Arceus needs something, literally anything

[latent granite]

Unnerve Zacian fused with a mega mawile for huge power sounds crazy

[tulip crown]

Probably

[tulip crown]

Kyogre is busted on its own merits alone

Stronger than even protosynthesis Groudon

[hard plume]

me when I see the word "slam"

[tulip crown]

180 special attack while primal, infinite rain for +50% water DMG boost

And 150 DMG AOE water move

Hits all enemies for 150 DMG

A single calm mind is enough for primal Kyogre to 1 shot eternatus

In most cases in unlimited

[latent granite]

You are forgetting one other thing... Stackable mystic waters

[tulip crown]

Every type has that

But yeah

[latent granite]

Oh believe me I know, my entei linoone fusion is at somewhere around 30 silk scarfs and has extreme speed

[hard plume]

"Critical Hit! it's not very effective" has the same vein of "IT'S IN THEATRES NOW! Coming this summer"

[latent granite]

@tulip crown here is the t2 shiny lugia

[timber siren]

Ugh I’m so sad

I found a cloyster with skill link but I know it’s jusy kilk my oikachu and I can’t catch it so I had to kill it

[latent granite]

There are other chances

[timber siren]

BRO ARE UOU SERIOS

WJU DID THE BOSS HAVE TO BE AN EMPOLEON WIRH LIGHTNING RD

ROD

WHATS UP WITH THIS CLASSIC RUN??

THIS IS LITERALLY ONLY WAVE 50😭

OH THANK GOS

I RUN AQAY

god this sucks so much..

[unkempt egret]

yea lightningrod's a passive on empy but it's a rude passive

[timber siren]

And that empoleon would’ve been so useful lol

[hard plume]

oh god I fought this guy

[timber siren]

Yeah

He literally one shot me

Ugh I want skilk link cloyster so bad man😢

I mean that would be so OP for eternatus

[latent granite]

Just use a fighting move

Oh right if you fight a boss linoone or zigzagoon it has pickpocket so use special attacks

Had one steal a grip claw once

[hard plume]

if I had the ability to nickname my guys, I would name my toxapex "red hot chili pepper"

because this shiny has sizzly slide

and burn is a surprisingly op status

not only does it does small damage every turn, but it weakens your opponent

[timber siren]

I had a pokachu man

And I just lost at level 55 now no more dynamax😢

[hard plume]

at least with poison or toxic poison you can walk it off

not with burn

[timber siren]

I’m gonna assume I won’t get this kuck again oof

Shduobe used that lock capsule..

[timber siren]

But it’s pink

[hard plume]

the sprite looks more red than the home image

[timber siren]

Oh

[unkempt egret]

reminds me of how I named a shiny gyarados in X/Y "spicy noodle"

[timber siren]

Rip my tea,

Goodbye gigantamax pikachu😭

I wish meltan wasn’t so weak

[hard plume]

i encountered these goobers three times and the strat I use is mostly the same

1. give them a status
2. hit em with a move
3. baneful bunker and pray that they use axe kick

[timber siren]

Does anyone have an tips to get lots of exp in clsssic mode

[hard plume]

idk grind?

[timber siren]

That’s not a tip..

Cuz you kinda grind Anywya lol

[hard plume]

yeah I don't really have tips for that

[timber siren]

Yeah it’s kinda hard

Thetes onlu like exp share ig

[hard plume]

though if you want xp, maybe don't use dragon tail or whirlwind on wild guys

[timber siren]

Yeah 100%

[latent granite]

Exp balances are kinda a double edged sword, sure they catch your lower levels up but have too many and your highest mon gets no exp

[timber siren]

Oh that’s weird

I domt really get those tbh

Cuz that’s why lol

[latent granite]

But with enough exp gain the pokemon that DO get exp usually go immediately to level cap

Like mine do in my current endless run

[timber siren]

Bruh wtf

Why is clsssic so annoying

Literally my whole team is almost dead I’m only on wave 16

[latent granite]

You might need to change up your strategy, accordingly based on what you get

I fear running into lokix as a boss early cause fury cutter and he gets technician

[timber siren]

No man this game just fucking sucks

Or idk

My starters might be weak

Cuz I have chespin and litten

And I just got par 3 times😭😭

[timber siren]

Damn

[latent granite]

Also be wary of echoed voice it is basically normal fury cutter

[timber siren]

bruh why am I getting doubles bales I’m gonna cry

My team is so weak

[latent granite]

I've had to change my starter team around often before I started getting eggs and HAs

[timber siren]

DUDE OMG😭

No it’s not taht it’s that my team is literally so frail

And for some reason I kept getting static conditions

[latent granite]

Dont be afraid to select an x speed or other x items

[timber siren]

Yeah

But my litten can get two shot by a quick attack..

I just chose it cus I got parting shot

[latent granite]

Try starting with like a Magnemite or rock type

[timber siren]

Bruh why does tis game hae me

Wh do it give me Figh taurous

Omg😭

I just want stronf team

Man I wan.to quit this game

[latent granite]

Fighting type Tauros is pretty good

[timber siren]

Man idc I literally lost after

It was a fire gym

Agsinychespin😭

I am going to bring legendary

OMG REGIROCK HAS SALT CURE..

that’s kinda op

[coarse estuary]

so im goning to do a gen number challenge in spork where i can only use 1 pokemon from a gen. what are some gens i should avoid picking or what gens should i pick?

[hard plume]

hmmm

OH FINALLY

[latent granite]

Ive had a dragon type ai decide to swap moves from outrage before it finished the 2-3 turns before

The ai in rogue cheats sometimes I swear

[hard plume]

moon

[latent granite]

Yeah it was good ol RM

[tulip crown]

Unless you use 100% moves you'll miss like 40% of the time on 95% moves on ivy and eternatus

It's weird

Also status effects moves are always 1 turn against ivy it feels like

Even when there's no berries because of unnerve

[latent granite]

Only exception is paralysis

Sneasler is faster than her Rayquaza usually depending on how many carbos it gives her so I can hit her with dire claw

Though that's IF I choose to go back to classic mode

[timber siren]

Wow this ponyta is actually really good

Ajd I get pokerux

[latent granite]

Just remember to set a better nature first

Rapidash is a physical fire type

[hard plume]

she looks like she's wearing lipstick

[latent granite]

Magmortar is best diva

Clearly

[hard plume]

i'll give a better drawing for this idea later
but still

[latent granite]

Lol

Magmortar takes her boyfriend/girlfriend to burger king for a whopper they get a wooper instead

[timber siren]

Oh

But why can’t I make it bulky

I don’t have rocky helmet

Or I think that item that reduces damage

That’s like rock hea

Head

[latent granite]

Rocky helmet isn't in pokerogue

[timber siren]

Aw

Guess I can’t really use volt tackle

[latent granite]

It would be too strong on ferrothorn

[timber siren]

Cool

[latent granite]

Why would Rocky helmet help with volt tackle?

[timber siren]

I was thinking it reduced damage for a sec

[latent granite]

Rocky helmet deals damage to those who make contact

[timber siren]

But it gives damage

Yea

So then I was like no

Like the ponyta is good but I wanted volt tackle tbh..

[latent granite]

It probably gets reckless as a passive

Or rock head like emboar does

[timber siren]

Wait what does reckless do

[latent granite]

Makes recoil moves do more dmg

[timber siren]

Oh

[latent granite]

Or moves that can harm oneself like hi jump kick

[timber siren]

Id probably have rock head then lol

[latent granite]

You can always fuse to aggron

[timber siren]

True

But getting splicers is hard

I just wanna get one good shiny mon

[latent granite]

Just have trillion in money and lock capsule

[timber siren]

I can’t even make it past level 20 in endless😭

I’m thinking of using

Uh

Shelmet

Actually nvm I thought it had better stats lol..

[latent granite]

If you get lucky with noibat it learns super fang and you can teach it toxic it also has high speed

Though super fang won't work on bosses

[pure star]

they gave darkrai spore

oh god

[latent granite]

Dear Arceus help us

Too bad statuses are basically useless past a certain amount in endless

Unless he has unnerve

[pure star]

i'm pretty sure it does

so

[hard plume]

nah lum berries is where its at

its leech seed that you need to worry about

not to avoid, but for you to use

this is where i'm at on classic, folks.

[latent granite]

Ah it's just kofu

[timber siren]

Just got fraxure

And now rapidash

[past cairn]

which move do i pick

[timber siren]

Swift

Oh no it’s ivy

[latent granite]

Keep swift simply cause it hits all enemies in doubles

[timber siren]

There’s better moves that do that lol

Swift is honestly just mid

Ig if you wanna grind it’s fine

[latent granite]

That also are never miss?

[timber siren]

Earthquake.. if there’s no flying types lol

Lots but they also hurt ur teammate so it sucks

[latent granite]

It is good for the random Raichu you might bump into

[timber siren]

Ig

[latent granite]

Zippy zap is stupid if the ai uses it, but when I use it I still always get hit

[timber siren]

LOL

Idk what’s ur game dide

Wine I use zippy zap nothing hits me

Just so easy

[latent granite]

Wine? No thanks I don't drink alcohol

[timber siren]

Bruh😢

I mean when

[past cairn]

i got rid of swift since it wasnt stab and super fang is just way too good in pokerouge

[latent granite]

Until you run into bosses almost non stop in endless

[past cairn]

im on the daily thing

daily run i think its called

what should i sack?

[latent granite]

Never bothered with the daily run

[past cairn]

i like that i got to start off at like lvl 40

donphan is dope

[latent granite]

I personally don't like doubling up on move types

Statuses are an exception

[past cairn]

so swap flamethrower?

[latent granite]

If it were me I would, is it drought torkoal?

[past cairn]

yep

its the reason i grabbed it

i also got a arcanine

i got arcanine, torkoal, dedene, fearow, donphan and houndstone

i thought smog was clear smog

i think imma sack that since its bad

[latent granite]

Smog has a decently high chance to poison at least

[hard plume]

how to destroy your rival's rayquaza in two hits
step 1:
get a fluffy mothy boy
step 2:

[past cairn]

it misses 30% of the time and only base 30 power

[latent granite]

I specifically said at least

Never said it was good

[hard plume]

oh and it killed kilowattrel too

[latent granite]

Did ivy have a rock?

If she did moth might be in danger

[hard plume]

HA

NOPE

[past cairn]

is this any good?

[latent granite]

In theory it is

[past cairn]

so what exactly does this do does it make my eq now base 40 move that hits twice or is it base 100 once and base 40 the 2nd time

[latent granite]

It is much better with all of them, especially for moves like ancient power

It is like a discount parental bond

[past cairn]

ooooo

imma take it

[latent granite]

I recommend power up punch or mystical power with it

Or torch song

[latent granite]

I'm not sure you want that since torkoal is high def with alright spatk

His spdef is not good

[past cairn]

kk

[latent granite]

If you think you might need it later though there are always memory mushrooms

[past cairn]

ooooo

[past cairn]

is a soul dew good in this?

[latent granite]

It is dependent on nature

If you have a negative to any defensive stat no

[past cairn]

so only good for any modest or adamant pokemon

or jolly or timid

should i swap anyone?

[hard plume]

ooh shell armor!
that protects you from critical hits

[past cairn]

who do i sack?

[hard plume]

although in order for me to judge whats the best mon to ditch, I probably need to see your other duders abilities

[past cairn]

kk

ik arcanine has flash fire and torkoal has drought

dedene has pick up, fearow has keen eye, donphan has sturdy, greavard has sand rush

[hard plume]

it's rare to encounter a fire type in this game lol

plus you have two fire types so I think its best to ditch one of the fire bros

unless you're doing some kind of team thing where your fire blast helps your bro out

[past cairn]

ok imma sack torkoal then

its slow and frailish

[latent granite]

nah frillish is a different pokemon

[past cairn]

i only put him on cause i thought drought would be cool

[past cairn]

this toxapex any good?

its fucked against a steel type

[latent granite]

toxapex is not a pokemon i use so uh up to you

[hard plume]

i use them

....but they have sizzly slide

and the one you caught doesn't

soooo

toss em

[hard plume]

I'm gonna unload so many silk scarves on this guy
(if im lucky)

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/9lhBUkg.png

[latent granite]

I was doing my endless run and it took me to the graveyard, and as the wild ghost type was entering frame, my shuffle play played ghostbusters by Ray Parker jr.

talk about timing

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/TnOlPFs.png to answer my question yes indeed

[vernal garnet]

pokerogue down for me idk why :/

[latent granite]

seems they might be performing maintenance

[vernal garnet]

mmm ok

[latent granite]

though it is back up already

so no clue

uh well they removed the ability to refresh a page if you ko a shiny, or i got unlucky and somehow found a way to do that

[vernal garnet]

welp, gotta remeber that thenn

[latent granite]

i ended up bumping into the same shiny later than it was

same gender level and pokemon

i think it rolled me back in the rng or something

heck it even made me refight a fusion i had fought prior

[latent granite]

next shiny i see that i already have i will test it

[vernal garnet]

mmmm odd

jut tested it w/ shiny seaking, it stayed after reloading

[latent granite]

maybe it was a timing thing? cause i refreshed right as it went off screen for the fainting animation

[vernal garnet]

maybe

or might have to do with maintenance

[latent granite]

that too

cause it happened right as i saw that shiny

when it was done i logged in and it was still there

but then i accidently ko'd it

also the bugged shinies seem to be fixed or at least some of them

[vernal garnet]

yeah, my shiny fused toxapex got fixed

[latent granite]

on a side note my sickly looking shiny plusle fused with epic shiny mantine doesnt look sickly anymore and just looks like shiny plusle

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/uUyDL9a.png

well at least it has victory dance i guess...

[timber siren]

I have the sword of Justice trio lo

Cobalion is pretty strong

[woven tapir]

Can someone explain why Meganium is really the worst starter?
I mean its seems like a decent wall at least to me. (access to Synthesis, Body Press with Base 100 Defenses for solid damage, Safeguard to prevent Status Conditions, Substitute, Access to moves for Disruption (Dragon Tail, Knock Off, Leech Seed, etc) and just seems to be a General nuisance, plus IMO grass is one of the best types)

[tacit tiger]

typing and stats of venosaur probably

[pure star]

meganium's stats are really bad

and even with the unique moves it got

it's not really able to use them very well

and it has pretty much useless abilities

[unkempt egret]

it's reputation is more that people didn't wanna use Geodude in gen 2 since gen 1 conditioned them so much into seeing it as a bad mon (when in reality it tears apart johto's first half)

so they shift that blame onto the starter since it cant one-man-army its home region like people want starters to be able to (and like the other two can)

[latent totem]

whoops didn't mean to reply

[hard plume]

OH SHIT

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-sweat-monkas-monka-eyes-gif-10994127

bruh

[pallid mauve]

i feel the desire to inflict psychic damage

[latent totem]

POG

they recently demoted silvally from a sub legend to a rare mon'

[latent totem]

HA

Nice

[digital lintel]

may i ask what that game is?

[latent totem]

Pokerogue

[digital lintel]

thank you

ima download that looks cool asl

[latent totem]

no download, actually

its a browser game

[digital lintel]

oh

link?

oh nvm

[hearty fossil]

Rip

[latent granite]

wanna look at the terrakion's atk stat and nature? tell me why i am disappointed?

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-hercules-disappointment-shouting-kevin-sorbo-gif-14893643

[latent granite]

Meganium in pokerogue gets think fat as a passive making it good at least

not great but good

[latent granite]

inner focus mons scare me in the waves where everything can one shot me

https://i.imgur.com/OsUg3PX.png i run into this floette a lot

i thought it was supposed to be rare

[hard plume]

oh god that floette

[latent granite]

i ran into three of them back to back with the 2nd one being shiny which i caught much earlier in the run

all routes lead back to the ocean cycle

im stuck in it again

[hard plume]

lets not call it the ocean cycle anymore

let's call it the whirlpool

because it always drags people back in

[latent granite]

hmm i havent seen a legendary in about 100 waves, the game is plotting

[latent totem]

Me getting stuck in the tall grass be like:

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/GLlzqBu.png im depressed now

my favorite paradox mon is shiny and i cant catch it

https://i.imgur.com/crQ7EJG.png

he's so purple

[digital lintel]

why yall gettin the good mons

[latent granite]

have you SEEN what wave im on?

[digital lintel]

oh my bad

[latent granite]

that primarina is actually kinda cool

[digital lintel]

yeah

im callin it cherry

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/JurieIL.png so glad this was the first lugia i found even if it was when it was level 4k

wait i shouldve kept that regigigas so i could give it mega mawile's huge power

welp too late now

[latent totem]

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/mdzsBJb.png

im just gonna suffer in silence for a long time

actually yknow what im gonna call this run done

[hard plume]

i mean

2000 is a pretty big deal

I had to bitchslap a scyther away because that guy had technician as his ability, catching him was hell, and he was killing my team

[hard plume]

oh that's a good ability to have

as indicated by my misadventure with that scyther

[latent totem]

technician op

Roserade gets it, and thats a bit reason why that's one of my favorite grass types

I love plants with wacky abilities

[latent granite]

Lugia gets delta stream so thats cool

[latent totem]

contrary serperior and lurantis my beloved

[latent totem]

honestly fitting

[latent granite]

so i basically just have to worry about the psychic type weaknesses

[latent totem]

also, apparently Magikarp gets dragon Ascent

[latent granite]

thats funny

[latent totem]

I know this because finn used a gyarados on me in his battle

[digital lintel]

lol

[coarse estuary]

hows my elite redux team lookin so far. everything is chosen ecept the cubchoo whitch is a placeholder rn

[unkempt egret]

gentlemen.

that is all.

[clear hornet]

So the blue star shiny not showing problem got fixed and the this is a nice shiny for Tsareena

[latent granite]

oh your using consistant animated sprites

which means only bw and previous gens are animated, with eternatus being the exception

[clear hornet]

yeah I guess so, I was clueless to that being the problem. Fixed it with a Ctrl+F5 press from what the server said to do

[hard plume]

whoever animated eternatus did a really good job

[latent granite]

yeah even if he takes an eternity to ko

[clear hornet]

Well, this either ends with a really lucky moment or most likely the expecting way of not catching the Kyogre. Or the third option of wiping out

[jolly ginkgo]

what happens

[clear hornet]

option 3 happened

[jolly ginkgo]

you need a flying type

[coarse estuary]

such as?

[jolly ginkgo]

any regional bird

since the next gym is a fighting type

[jolly ginkgo]

sad

[latent totem]

[coarse estuary]

ah yes. im so scared. not like i cant just sweep with my fairy type

[jolly ginkgo]

what fairy type?

[coarse estuary]

my bewear

also ghost type i got goes hard

[hard plume]

bewear's normal/fighting

unless- ohhhh

fairy tera

[coarse estuary]

im playin elite redux wich gives bewear a redux form of normal fairy

[latent totem]

Pokerogue discord servervis back open btw

https://tenor.com/view/darth-sidious-star-wars-we-shall-have-peace-gif-14407024

[jolly ginkgo]

can u give me the link

[coarse estuary]

im pretty sure the discord is advertised on the website

[latent totem]

Yea

[wispy shell]

Needing a break from Infinite Fusion, but still wanna pokemon, gunna take up Insurgence.

[coarse estuary]

insurgence is a good one. i also recommend spork as its my favorite fan game for pokemon ever

[frank lily]

Got this in yesterday’s spotlight hour

[wispy shell]

People still play Pokemon Go?

[untold hill]

yes, apparently

[coarse estuary]

die hard pogo fans go crazy lol

[coarse estuary]

ah today is a good day. i got to hate on fools gold

[finite ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/pogo-stick-jumping-having-fun-wren-corridor-digital-gif-15272458

[atomic juniper]

same

[sleek jewel]

a question whos the best water pokemon for infernape team Starmie or Vaporeon

[scenic whale]

Starmie for psychic coverage

[regal bronze]

anyone has a plan wich eeveelution is the most viable ?

[unkempt egret]

in IF, rogue, or vanilla

in vanilla it's sylveon <- umbreon <- vaporeon <- espeon <- jolteon <- leafeon <- glaceon <- flareon <- eviolite eevee, give or take a desperate thirst for Magic Bounce

in rogue it's probably still sylveon solely because it isn't hit neutrally by dragon types lol

all of them have niches with their Lets GO moves

out of the 8, leafeon is probably the least useful unless you have a sun setter since grass isn't super useful against endgame's dragon spam

[sleek jewel]

dark is weak to fairy 💀

[hard plume]

https://tenor.com/view/impractical-jokers-sal-vulcano-james-murray-sal-and-murr-sal-and-murr-falls-down-laughing-gif-21643638

[hard plume]

no I was laughing at neotornado

[unkempt egret]

that was in order of most to least useful not what beats what

[wide creek]

Dark is weak to bug?…why does that feel wrong?

[hard plume]

yeah I just figured that out

[unkempt egret]

so sylv is most useful, flare slash eviolite eevee is least

[hard plume]

i think the only reason why dark is weak to bug is... well
nothing makes a big baddy completely crumble down quite like bugs

because bugs are gross

https://tenor.com/view/eww-bugs-eww-bugs-ew-ew-bugs-gif-20566522

and most people think bugs are gross

[unkempt egret]

in JP i think it's a kamen rider thing?

[hard plume]

oooh that's a pretty good reason!

[unkempt egret]

since dark is the evil type over there so bugs and fighting are both traditionally evil fighters

[wide creek]

Ehhh bug weakness always have to pull a lot of weight to justify it…

[hard plume]

much like how fighting (good) beats evil, bug (kamen) beats evil!

[unkempt egret]

(as a side note, their dark is what we call "shadow" over here)

except in GO where it's shadow in JP as well

[wide creek]

Psychic kinda makes sense (bugs tend to follow a hive mind/tends to be a drone to a greater queen, so if you psychic one what does that even mean?)

[sleek jewel]

which pokemno is better

which water pokemon

starmie or vaporeon?

[unkempt egret]

depends on if you want a tank (vaporeon) or a faster frailer attacker with thunderbolt (starmie)

[wide creek]

Vaporeon, stronger hp pool

[sleek jewel]

i was thinking starmie with modest nature and with surf,toxic,ice beam and psychic

[unkempt egret]

vappy might do a bit better with toxic unless it's just a cheap shot on starmie

[sleek jewel]

and vaporeon with bold nature and with surf,ice beam,toxic,protect or rest

[unkempt egret]

yea that'd work better on vaps

on starmie I mentioned it earlier but consider thunderbolt for a 4 attack set

(or rapid spin if you're worried about entry hazards)

both have their merits though

[sleek jewel]

im saying this bc you get staryu REALLY late

[unkempt egret]

what version are you playin?

[sleek jewel]

pokemon platinum

[unkempt egret]

yea vappy might be better overall unless you have another water like floatzel or gastro

[sleek jewel]

i forgot floatzel existed lol

[unkempt egret]

starmie does have a better matchup in the endgame because of its speed though but vap works just fine

[sleek jewel]

yeah and its second type psychic and ice beam move would be good for Cynthias roserade

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[weak plaza]

Psychic's weaknesses are based off of common phobias: Bugs, Ghosts, and the Dark

[latent totem]

Huh, never actually thought about it like that

[hard plume]

today I saw something strange
cpu shroomish was trying to stun spore his partner

didn't really help the guy because I kicked his ass

[real nebula]

jeez idk how yall get that high in your runs haha im struggling atm to beat classic mode

[jovial thistle]

I'm on my best run so far in endless at Floor 220 or so

Getting a legendary REALLY helps

A fast sweeper with a proper support team around it can clear classic pretty easy

[latent totem]

oh shit, its bloodmoon

[jovial thistle]

My first win was with Kartana juiced to the gills with carbos and protein and with an adamant nature. Proper leech seed/status support and a strong partner for doubles will get you along easy enough

[hard plume]

yep

[latent totem]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-god-oh-man-worried-yikes-gif-16705037

[hard plume]

lv 10 bloodmoon

encountering that dude early is crazy

[jovial thistle]

This is my Kartana at level 200 a bit ago lol

992 attack is funny af

[hard plume]

it sure is

[jovial thistle]

He also will die to any ember

From any pokemon

I almost got one-shot by spread damage from a quad -resisted Sparkling Aria from my primarina

Took 80% from a water move as a grass/steel type

[hard plume]

had to reset my endless because I got a dedenne with cheek pouch

which atm is useless

[jovial thistle]

F

[hard plume]

pickup is where its at

[real nebula]

i actually ended up getting a palkia from an egg yk if i can do anything with that or?

[hard plume]

that's amateur hour
I got to around the range of 800

[real nebula]

oh haha any suggested builds or anything then?

[hard plume]

oh i meant floors

wrong reply

lol

as for build

....idk man I haven't handled a rouge palkia

[real nebula]

oh your fine then! dw about it

[real nebula]

i got to around 80 i think then i got like totally destroyed by a rayquaza from my rival

it was rough

[hard plume]

in classic?
i think the easy way to take that guy down is with ice types or dedenne

...actually

ice types give you more oomf

I used a frosmoth on that rayquaza and I destroyed its ass

[real nebula]

ah but then how do i do the stuff beforehand haha 😭

i feel like if im not using palkia then im just wasting my resources

[hard plume]

that's gonna take a lot of trial, error, and juggling

[real nebula]

cause i dump everything into the palkia and my team is just kinda back up

[hard plume]

sometimes you can't steamroll your enemies

[real nebula]

yeah i was up until that battle tho

[hard plume]

oh well there's your problem

[real nebula]

so it was rough

[hard plume]

yeah you need to take care of your teammates also

[real nebula]

well they were all around equal level and i had the orb for palkia

so i wasnt too worried

i didnt have anything to set up if thats something i needed then idk

i was running aqua ring dragon breath multi lens and a few other things i cant remember off the top of my head

[latent granite]

had a mewtwo in classic with 1160 spatk with no mega

[latent granite]

this only works if the game is giving you exp alls

[jovial thistle]

Should've checked my kartanas attack before I wiped to Eternatus damnit

[real nebula]

oh yeah i had 5

[jovial thistle]

Both of my dragon counters were at partial health and he was +6 speed and attack almost instantly fugh

[latent granite]

if it helps having a prority move and kings rocks can help

extreme speed has saved many of my runs

[jovial thistle]

Never found a kings rock sadly

Two focus bands but no proc

[latent granite]

been there

but with 5

[jovial thistle]

I forgot to heal but that's probably not why I lost

[latent granite]

back to back to back

[jovial thistle]

Lol rip

Still, best endless run

I was getting hard stuck around 50 before this

[latent granite]

i got to wave 2000 and dropped it cause i didnt feel like fighting emax for 3 centuries

[jovial thistle]

Lol

Ideally I wanted to do salt cure and leech seed

But I never found a fast seeder

[latent granite]

doesnt have to be fast if it has prankster like whimsicott

[jovial thistle]

Garganacl hit a salt cure and it did a lot of damage but I wasn't able to clean up

[jovial thistle]

Oh yeah I forgot Whimsicott has prankster... Next time

[latent granite]

dont think this endless is gonna get far, no berry pouches at 220

eh who knows maybe lugia's tankiness will get me the win

oh revival blessing is implemented now

[jovial thistle]

Holy crap I started with Iron Thorns

And I found a Multi Lens room 19

[latent granite]

sometimes luck be with you, other times though....

https://i.imgur.com/Yv09HBi.png i was worried about nothing

lugia solod

[real nebula]

woah

your game looks so cool

wth

[latent granite]

what do you mean?

[real nebula]

like

just lots of colors

[latent granite]

lol this game never lets me stay in the stratosphere area in endless it always boots me out after 1-2 battles

[real nebula]

how does thief work in this game?

nvm

just read the summary of it

[latent granite]

it has a chance to steal rather than guarenteed due to how held items work in this, it also doesnt require having no items

[real nebula]

okay see that second part was confusing me

couldnt tell if it just wasnt giving me items cause i was unlucky or if i had to have none

ty

[latent granite]

keep in mind the ai can also use these

so they can and will steal stuff like multi lens

[real nebula]

yeah haha havent had one use it against me yet

actually forgot it even existed 💀

[latent granite]

covet does the same

[real nebula]

does covet steal stuff?

[latent granite]

and you see that one alot more

[real nebula]

literally had no idea covet did that

thought it made the other guy get infatuation

[latent granite]

thats attract

[real nebula]

gotcha

btw

quick question about the like shop system

[jovial thistle]

Yeahh

[real nebula]

it says Luck: D top right

how do i change that?

to something better and how does it affect me?

[latent granite]

shinies and only shinies

you have to keep them in the party too

[latent granite]

it increases the chance for an item to upgrade to higher quality

[real nebula]

ohh

okay

but do i have that chance regardless of having a shiny or not?

like is it just lower?

[latent granite]

luck caps at SSS or 14 luck stat

i havent done a run with no shinies in awhile so im not sure what it starts at

[real nebula]

how do level caps work?

cause my level turns red but i keep leveling

and i dont get it

[latent granite]

level cap raises every 10 waves

the only way to level past a level cap before that is rare candies

[real nebula]

so this red number

whats it mean?

[latent granite]

it means you are at current level cap

[real nebula]

so talonflame will not gain exp unless i give it candies?

yes?

[latent granite]

correct, until you beat the 10th wave of the section you are on

[real nebula]

sorry im not trying to be dumb im just making sure i have it correct

[latent granite]

so like say you are on 31-40 once you beat 40 the level cap raises

and so on

it stays like that for endless mode too

ive seen people with pokemon above lvl 30k

[real nebula]

jesus

i knew i could go past 100 but holy man

[latent granite]

classic mode's final level cap is 200

this is how far ive gone, i didnt feel like fighting this guy for 3 centuries

[real nebula]

wow

[latent granite]

so glad i opted for earth power on lugia

[real nebula]

i just got a legendary egg from the rate up gacha

is it guranteed to be the legendary in the gacha?

or no

[latent granite]

i think so? i only use the shiny rate eggs

[real nebula]

i see

well i hope its a giratina

would make me happy

[latent granite]

Giratina can be found in the graveyard area

if you dont get it from the egg

[real nebula]

you can find wild legendaries?

[latent granite]

they can sometimes replace bosses

[real nebula]

ohhhh

how do i catch them then if they are bosses?

[latent granite]

lower them to last shield then you can catch, or just chuck a mb

[real nebula]

wait so you can catch bosses if they are legendaries?

[latent granite]

you can catch all bosses

[real nebula]

???

you can?

[latent granite]

except in endless, with the paradoxes

ok so for example see wo chien here?

see how he has 4 ticks in his hp?

[real nebula]

o

yeah

[latent granite]

each of those ticks is a shield

lower a boss's hp to the last one then the game will consider them catchable

[real nebula]

oh damn

didnt know that

[latent granite]

i cant count lol i said 5 ticks when there are clearly 4

[real nebula]

oh its okay i didnt even realize

although i havent slept in a day or so

so thats probably my bad for that part

[latent granite]

bosses give twice as much candy btw

[real nebula]

oh for catching?

[latent granite]

so if a boss is shiny it gives 10 candy rather than 5

[real nebula]

what is this symbol? and why did the delphox lose its psychic type?

[real nebula]

oh sweet

[latent granite]

it is terastalled

[real nebula]

oh dang

hm

what does that exactly mean?

[latent granite]

it means it is only that type, but still gets the stab from its original typing, so it has fire moves at triple strength

[real nebula]

oh god

can i do that?

[latent granite]

hope it is raining

if you get the tera orb

it was the gimmick of scarlet violet, though thankfully this game doesnt have the stupid looking hats

[real nebula]

i hate terastaling

or wtv its called

[latent granite]

it can be murder, you just have to play around it

[real nebula]

yikes

that killed my run

😭

[latent granite]

that will happen, such is the life of a roguelike

[latent granite]

you went with 4 mons weak to fire when you knew your rival had a fire type?

[real nebula]

yeah i wasnt thinking too much on that part

cant lie

[latent granite]

fair

[real nebula]

how do i get manaphy btw?

[latent granite]

manaphy egg

[real nebula]

cause i opened a manaphy egg i got but i got phione

[latent granite]

most manaphy eggs are phione

[real nebula]

dang

so is manaphy egg really rare?

[latent granite]

there was an incident were it wasnt

it was as common as rare eggs

[real nebula]

oh wow

[real nebula]

does the rival always have a starter to counter my starters typing? or am i just unlucky?

[latent granite]

unlucky

[real nebula]

cause i feel like everytime i play she has opposite of me

oh well damn

[latent granite]

forewarning if she gets meganium it will have thick fat as a passive when it gets the boss classification

[real nebula]

oh

that explains why it crapped on my palkia

[latent granite]

boss pokemon have thier passive while bosses but dont keep it when caught

[real nebula]

ohhh

okay

[latent granite]

so if you see a kecleon it will have adaptability

sometimes i go back through the list of pokemon and see what passives they get in case i see them

such as moxie beast boost buzzwole

[real nebula]

ohh

like the bosses youve fought you mean right?

oh

[latent granite]

the passives are tied specifically to what species it is

[real nebula]

i got a tera orb

[latent granite]

so lugia has delta stream

[real nebula]

now how do i do the special form crap

[latent granite]

you have to see a tera shard of whatever type

which are blue quality

[real nebula]

oh

[latent granite]

as they last 10 battles each

[real nebula]

in the shop?

[latent granite]

btw you can terastall a mega or gmax pokemon

[real nebula]

megas are in this?

and idk what a gmax means

[latent granite]

in the picture i posted showing what wave i ended on in endless i had mega mawile lol

[real nebula]

didnt realize that

my bad

haha

[latent granite]

you remember sword shield's mechanic?

[real nebula]

never played the ones after moon

[latent granite]

gigantimaxing is like a mega evolve in this game

[real nebula]

i see

[latent granite]

or gmax

in sword shield the normal version of gmaxing is simply called dynamaxing

[real nebula]

oh

is that worse?

[latent granite]

yes and no

gmax usually got different moves and BST, while dynamaxing was basically just double max hp

there is a reason people didnt like dynamax in competetive

[real nebula]

got it

[latent granite]

that being said noivern had the coolest cry while dynamaxed

[real nebula]

oh thats cool

they get different cries in dinamaxed?

[latent granite]

it alters the pitch and adds reverb and slows it

[real nebula]

oh neat

[latent granite]

https://youtu.be/amyE8WLT-1E

[real nebula]

it sounds like its laughing oh my lanta

[latent granite]

ah yes im sure you noticed but dynamaxing basically makes a pokemon like 20x bigger

[real nebula]

yeah hah

how does that work in the rogue game?

doesnt change size right?

thats my guess

[latent granite]

it is only gmaxes

and emax

emax is exclusive to eternatus

[real nebula]

emax?

o

thats the one in the picture

from earlier

[latent granite]

yes

[real nebula]

okay

so hes special?

[latent granite]

it has literally maximum defensive stats and hp

[real nebula]

thats aids

[latent granite]

https://i.imgur.com/hY4T82q.png

[real nebula]

714 hp?????

thats insane

holy

[latent granite]

let me remind you the one i was facing was level 8900

with like 22 hp ups

[real nebula]

already having 719 hp only at level 100 is insane

thats nearly 1000 hp without being rogued

[latent granite]

emax was not usable in the main games because he was intended to be a boss

[real nebula]

oh thank god

was gonna say that playing online mustve sucked

[latent granite]

ptsd of only seeing mega rayquaza in online

[real nebula]

haha yeah

dude mega rayquaza was painful

[latent granite]

although i also ran into the mega rayquaza darkrai double occasionally which solidfied my deep disdain for darkrai

dont get me wrong i dont dislike darkrai cause of his design, only cause dark void is too annoying

[real nebula]

i loved darkrai

still do

amazing pokemon

aids moveset

plus ability

[latent granite]

speaking of which his ability is finally implemented in pokerogue

still no parental bond though so no mega kangaskhan run yet

[real nebula]

cool

dang rip

kanghaskhan is so fun

[latent granite]

she still is but she might not be viable in this till her mega ability is implemented
