The raid one

#

It's all fun and games till a dark type comes along

sweet crypt
#

For an explanation, Funbro is a set meant to permanently stall a match for all eternity

#

And is banned even from AG for being damn good at it

graceful osprey
#

It's also oblovious

sweet crypt
#

Leppa Berry with Heal Pulse, Block, Recycle and Slack Off

#

The idea is to prevent switching with Block

#

Then endlessly heal yourself and your opponent

graceful osprey
#

Mine is for shits and gigs

#

That's sweaty

sweet crypt
#

Recovering your PP with Recycle Leppa Berry

#

And healing them when they Struggle

#

It's evil

#

You could theoretically kill a mon with the set

#

But it was mainly used to infinitely prolong battles

#

Until the opponent quits

graceful osprey
#

I'd never quit

sweet crypt
#

They probably also quit Pokemon

#

Or gaming in general

#

It's truly an evil strat

graceful osprey
#

I'm to stubborn

#

Oh yea

sweet crypt
#

And probably doesn't deserve the name of "Funbro"

graceful osprey
#

Not fun thing

#

I found a shiny metang

#

On sword

#

Fuck you raid dens

#

I'm still going for it on my scarlet game

sweet crypt
#

Use Home to transfer it over I guess

graceful osprey
#

I camt

#

It won't listen thay way

sweet crypt
#

Then get enough badges so that it will

graceful osprey
#

That's the only reason I'm grinding eggs

#

No

#

Again

#

Stubborn

#

Lemme get the egg count

sweet crypt
#

You don't say

graceful osprey
#

2,252

sweet crypt
#

This is a moment of all time

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
#

People call Funbro the most powerful Pokemon of all time

#

But it isn't too different from something like Mega Gengar in terms of power

#

It traps and KOs Pokemon

#

The problem is not power

#

It's the fact that Funbro can prolong your suffering infinitely

#

It doesn't win games based on power, it wins games based on torture

#

Competitive Pokemon is meant to be competitive and fun

#

Funbro's name is clearly sarcastic, as it is the very opposite of fun

graceful osprey
#

You got a weird way of having fun

#

Comp pokemon seems stressful and annoying

#

I'm just gunna enjoy my zygarde

sweet crypt
#

Some people like thinking and strategising about their teams and moves

#

I'm one of those people

graceful osprey
#

I like winning

#

And pressing two buttons

sweet crypt
#

That being said put pressure on me to perform well and I'll implode

graceful osprey
#

Gen 8 hasade this habit or 2 buttons worse

sweet crypt
#

Because like I said I play for fun

#

I don't play to win

#

It's just that strategising and thinking about what move to do is fun for me

#

Base game doesn't give a challenge

#

Even the hardest battles can be completely scripted if you learn how the AI works

#

And once you do there isn't really any fun to be had in completely dumpstering a champion or two

#

I guess for the first playthroughs before you learn how the AI works it would be fun though

#

I guess that's why I play randomisers and fangames often, you don't really know what exactly to expect in those since they change fundamentals about Pokemon

#

Maybe an old Pokemon has a new type, stats or move

#

Maybe the AI is upgraded

#

Maybe it's a completely new mechanic

#

It's nice not knowing what to expect

#

Oh fuck I ranted about random mildly philosophical views on a children's game again

#

This always happens

graceful osprey
#

Have you played vanguard yet?

#

The game that made me love tailwind

rugged mortar
#

anyone know what the full odds of getting a shiny are in ORAS

vernal garnet
proper iris
#

Anyone here playing Pokémon Sleep?

#

Bc I just gotta say, being this lucky as soon as you wake up makes the whole day feel great

#

Just wanted to share how cute a shiny sleeping bulbasaur is

#

Also if anyone wants to friend me on that game so we both get more candies, that'd be cool

#

Especially bc of the suicune event coming soon, gotta level up those water types to help

rugged mortar
#

@vernal garnet thanks bud

lyric radish
#

QUIZ who is stronger spatk mega mewtwo Y or clampearl with its evolution item (stronger will mean has higher SPATK)

vernal garnet
proper iris
#

wondering about color

runic canopy
#

I'm now doing a pokemon blue nuzlocke

#

Any tips and advices?

#

I have 2 Pokemon in my team.

unkempt egret
#

maybe get more if you aren't like right starting?

#

even then, don't be afraid to throw pokeballs at full health on the earlygame routes

runic canopy
#

Ok

#

Pokemon Center is my only friend

#

Repels and Escape Ropes are allowed

#

And. . . All set.

#

BTW my Weedle named Lancelot turns into Kakuna.

runic canopy
#

Welp. . .

#

I'm stupid.
I was gonna catch a Pikachu but I forgot that the poison is active.

#

Dangit Kakuna.

graceful osprey
#

Pft

#

I l9ve zygarde

#

Hes such a funny guy

wraith musk
#

litteraly a bunch of lil guys

#

wishiwashi but intelligent

wraith musk
#

abusing the ability

graceful osprey
#

Abusing?

#

Nah

#

I'm not doing online

#

So it's fine

graceful osprey
#

Ha

#

Hahaha

#

502 hp

#

At level 81

#

What's the shit is Zygarde

#

I love this thing

#

Giving it access to substitute was a mistake

#

So like

#

Was zygarde man made?

#

It's it just better mewtwo?

tight granite
#

its dna

graceful osprey
#

So

tight granite
#

its just a collection of cells across the world, forming a being

graceful osprey
#

Yesnt?

tight granite
#

there is no yes lul

graceful osprey
#

Oh

tight granite
#

its not man made

#

dna isnt man made

graceful osprey
#

Zygarde is so fucking funny

#

Does it have a counter...

#

I guess any ice move

tight granite
#

its part of a trio

#

oh you just meant type counter

graceful osprey
#

I mean a mon counter

#

With like 2 or 3 dragon dances it beats out mega gengar

#

Granted That's with full speed evs

#

But that's still huge that it beats mega gengar

#

You know I had to name it Squishy

#

And it's in a friend ball

#

I like how zygarde is just a lil' guy

#

Then he has the power to take down eternamax eternatus

#

It's just

#

Hit me

#

I dare you

sweet crypt
#

Idk just a gut feeling

graceful osprey
#

Yea thoudand arrows probably does but like

#

One shooting is always a better option

#

And it's like like you cam switch out with mega gengar

sweet crypt
#

Mega Gengar isn't very bulky

graceful osprey
#

That's fair

#

Just very fast

sweet crypt
#

I mean yeah DD is the play because no sane person isn't swapping out

#

But still

graceful osprey
#

I like how the only true counters to arrows is

#

What's it called

#

Earth eater?

sweet crypt
#

Zygarde generally struggles with Toxic

graceful osprey
#

I can tell

#

Also

#

Earth earter

sweet crypt
#

The bulky Pokemon that needs to set up to do major damage struggles with the move that punishes bulky Pokemon the most, wow

graceful osprey
#

Granted

#

It's only on orthworm

#

But hey

#

Says fuck you to arrows

sweet crypt
#

Ice moves obviously put a massive dent in Zygarde

graceful osprey
#

Ice moves are a nightmare

#

Even with my 502 hp

#

They still hurt

sweet crypt
#

Zygarde's special bulk isn't very high

graceful osprey
#

Also true

sweet crypt
#

Well, in 1st form anyways

#

In 2nd form the HP carries

graceful osprey
#

It does get higher when constructs

#

By like

#

10

sweet crypt
#

But a strong enough special attacker may just instantly KO you

graceful osprey
#

I was wrong

sweet crypt
#

95 is not higher than 95

graceful osprey
#

I was thinking of speed

#

Wait

#

Speed lowers?

#

I guess that's fair

#

With my 502 hp

sweet crypt
#

Tanky Pokemon can threaten Zygarde with their own attacks whole Zygarde can't threaten them in return

graceful osprey
#

I don't need 200 speed

sweet crypt
#

Obviously this isn't the case if they're weak to Zygarde

graceful osprey
#

Just

#

Have a tanky mon that resists thousand

#

Easy

sweet crypt
#

Smogon mentions Tangrowth and Buzzwole in particular

#

Both of which resist Ground

graceful osprey
#

Really?

sweet crypt
#

And have reliable recovery

graceful osprey
#

Tangrowth?

sweet crypt
#

They have extremely high physical bulk

graceful osprey
#

Huh

#

Honestly

sweet crypt
#

Zugarde can use special attacks but generally you want all your moves

graceful osprey
#

I wanna see hoe foul play works

sweet crypt
#

You have like what 100 attack

graceful osprey
#

?

#

Doesn't foul play hurt move with atk is buffed?

sweet crypt
#

It would

#

BTW you know how someone was like "it's part of a trio" when you asked for counters?

graceful osprey
#

Umbreon could probably tank a hit

sweet crypt
#

Well, funny thing

#

The very best counter is Xerneas

graceful osprey
#

Xernias

#

Yea

sweet crypt
#

High bulk and Fairy Aura Moonblast just destroys it

#

I wouldnt be surprised if it KOd before Power Construct activated

#

And don't even mention Geomancy

#

Since physical Dragon moves are either weak or Outrage, Zygarde generally doesn't run them

#

Though that does put it at a disadvantage against non ground weak Dragons

graceful osprey
#

I'm running breaking swipe

#

60 BP with +3 atk is still a lot of damage

sweet crypt
#

Breaking Swipe isn't very strong so I'd assume most Dragons would be able to 1v1

#

Doesn't Zygarde get Dragon Claw at least?

graceful osprey
#

Nope

sweet crypt
#

Holy shit lmao

#

Yeah I see why it doesn't run Dragon moves now

#

Zygarde typically struggles with move choices

graceful osprey
#

In gen 8 it's kinda worth to run breaking swipe

sweet crypt
#

And I am just realising Dragon Tail counts as a Dragon move

#

But like obviously that's more for the utility

graceful osprey
#

Cause dynamax wyrmwind is 130 BP with swipe

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
#

It also has Glare, Toxic, Substitute, DD, Thousand Arrows as options

graceful osprey
#

There's no dragon tail tm in gen 8

sweet crypt
#

Coil+Rest also works

graceful osprey
#

Why does a 502 ho mon get rest

#

And sleep talk

sweet crypt
#

Zygarde can learn Dragon Tail in Gen 8 according to Smogon

#

Same with Toxic

#

So there is a way to get those moves onto it

#

Maybe TR?

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

Yea so

#

To get it with dragon tail

#

It needs to go to gen 7

#

Where it can have the move transfered to gen 8

#

That's the only way to get it with dragon tail in gen 8

#

For some reason

#

And it can't be transfered to gen 9

sweet crypt
#

Huh, didn't Gen 8 remove transfer moves?

#

Am I stupid?

graceful osprey
#

I dunno

#

This is 50/50 assumptions

sweet crypt
#

I could've sworn people were complaining about the massive Toxic cut

#

But if you could just transfer Toxic I don't see why you would

graceful osprey
#

Oh no

#

My 502 hp mon can't learn toxic and stall

#

Boo hoo

sweet crypt
#

Eh, Glare works wonders anyways

graceful osprey
#

I run substiute

sweet crypt
#

100% Paralysis that effects Ground is insane

graceful osprey
#

Have a flat hp cut is nice

#

For pricing ability

sweet crypt
#

Zygarde tends to be DD, Defensive Coil or Scale Shot Coil

graceful osprey
#

I just dd

#

Cause yknkw

#

Ai

sweet crypt
#

Oh funny thing yknow how strong special moves overwhelm Zygarde

#

If Yveltal is using its best set (which admittedly isn't any of the ones that can handle Caly-S), it is one of the mons that can beat Zygarde down quickly

#

So it loses to both other members of the trio

#

Lmao

#

Yveltal is the best Pokemon in the metagame though

#

With a 90% use rate

#

So that isn't particularly surprising

graceful osprey
#

I hate the swords in gen 8

#

Specially getting them

#

This feels awful

#

Why 2%

#

That's so much small shit to find

sweet crypt
#

Wdym by "the swords"

graceful osprey
#

Verisipn

sweet crypt
#

The Swords of Justice?

graceful osprey
#

Terrakioj

#

Cobalian

sweet crypt
#

OK the first 2 I know are typos but Cobalion isn't spelt right

graceful osprey
#

Ain't no fucking way terrakians massive stompers are making this smapp of a footprint

graceful osprey
#

I've never been good with spelling

sweet crypt
#

I never thought of that actually

#

I just searched up where they are on Google because I couldn't be bothered

graceful osprey
#

Same for iron will

#

I'm stubborn

#

Like

#

How th3 fuck

sweet crypt
#

Also Shedinja is mentioned for Zygarde as well, though it isn't very common and Zygarde runs Toxic specifically for it

#

Neither is Tangrowth tbf

#

But Buzzwole is decently seen

#

Man, I love how Ferrothorn is consistently one of the best Pokemon in both OU and Ubers

graceful osprey
#

Ok

#

I got one by myself

#

That's good enough for me I. Looking up the other two

graceful osprey
#

STAY IN THE BALL YOU FAT FUCK

analog lance
#

We are one Galarian Rapidash (replacing Toxtricity) from completing the team

graceful osprey
#

I lied

#

I didn't look them up

sturdy sparrow
#

woohoo shiny golbat in legends Arceus

graceful osprey
#

Epic

graceful osprey
#

Lucario is bipedal Cobalion

#

Minus sacred sword

#

Fighting steel

#

Has justified

coarse estuary
#

lucario predicted gen 5 confirmed?

graceful osprey
#

Didn't hidden abilities get added in gen 5?

coarse estuary
#

yep

graceful osprey
#

Via dreams

#

Now it's just

#

Smack a patch on em

#

I honestly like it a lot more

#

I'd love to use hidden abilities in gen 5

#

But I cant

coarse estuary
#

like i get the idea but the way they do it now is just better. same with the psysical special split pre gen 4 and tms and using items on pokemon pre gen 5

graceful osprey
#

Why do I have 1k+ hp

#

It's so funny

coarse estuary
#

goated idk

graceful osprey
#

Making curry is tiring

hard plume
graceful osprey
#

I use notion controls

#

And I lack arm muscles

hard plume
#

well I used joystick and it is just as buttnumbing

coarse estuary
#

i love rewatching chuggaas bw1 playthrough its my favorite playthrough ever but i think this time ill rewatch his bw2 playthrough as its more recent and its more expancive bc its bw2

rugged comet
analog lance
#

Final team member found! Alright, the full team is: Cinderace, Galarian Ponyta, Copperajah, Runerigus, Drednaw, and Appletun

coarse estuary
#

w team. but i must ask what is your favorite team youve used in any game and why

sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

618 hp

#

While not dynamaxed

#

What the shit is this

coarse estuary
#

blissey be like

sweet crypt
#

Fun fact: Zygarde-C only has the 4th highest HP

#

And that's excluding Emax

graceful osprey
#

I l9ve Zygarde

#

This is so funny

#

I just dont die

#

Unless they have an ice move

#

Then I jist fold in half

sweet crypt
#

The 3 Pokemon with the highest HP stats are Blissey, Chansey and Guzzlord

coarse estuary
#

this is very funny

sweet crypt
#

That said Zygarde is far better than all of them

graceful osprey
#

I like guzlords scream

#

It just be

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

sweet crypt
#

Guzzlord is very cool but man why does its stats have to be so ass

graceful osprey
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

So fun thing about gen 8

sweet crypt
#

How is bro eating worlds when its stat spread is that bad

graceful osprey
#

Max quake raises sp def as you know

#

So that just

#

Gets rid of his major weakness

sweet crypt
#

53 defences 💀

graceful osprey
#

What

#

Why

sweet crypt
#

Dynamax is banned from Ubers btw

graceful osprey
#

Figures

#

Gmax m9ves can be

#

Broken

sweet crypt
#

Dynamax is just broken

graceful osprey
#

Also setting up sandstorm while damaging is dumb

sweet crypt
#

2× HP

#

Insane moves

#

Etc

graceful osprey
#

It's both good and bad

#

Cause like

#

It's broken

#

But it only lasts for 3 turns

sweet crypt
#

Who the actual fuck decided Max Airstream should boost Speed and not have lowered BP like Ooze and Knuckle

#

I am going to debone them

graceful osprey
#

PFT

#

One shooting shuckle feels so good

sweet crypt
#

Ah also about your question as to why Guzzlord has 53 defences

#

Gosh, I don't fucking know

#

223 HP but yet you're still only average bulk

graceful osprey
#

I guess technically it's not a legendary

sweet crypt
#

It does have legendary-tier BST

#

570 is similar BST to minor legendaries

#

Think legendary birds, legendary beasts, Loyal 3, Treasures of Ruin

#

Legendary Titans

#

Lake Guardians

#

Swords of Justice

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
#

Forces of Nature

graceful osprey
#

Why are the lake guardians so niche

sweet crypt
#

Except Landorus he gets 600 BST

graceful osprey
#

Honestly

#

Give them megas

sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

It'd be stupid

#

But it's give them something

sweet crypt
#

Azelf is in a good spot

graceful osprey
#

They have nothing

sweet crypt
#

I love how the being of willpower is an exploding suicide lead

graceful osprey
#

My main goal is to blow up?

sweet crypt
#

It's actually a good Pokemon

sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

Fun thing

#

My hp iv isn't maxed

sweet crypt
#

High speed with Taunt, Hazards, good offences and Explosion is nice

graceful osprey
#

So 1236 isn't max

sweet crypt
#

It can also go for a Nasty Plot set

graceful osprey
#

Hop

sweet crypt
#

Zygarde-C has 636 HP max

graceful osprey
#

What happened to your zamazenta

#

Why do you have 5 mons

sweet crypt
#

Meanwhile, Blissey has 651 HP without any EV investment (but max IVs)

#

Blissey's HP is insane

#

Who could've seen that one coming

graceful osprey
#

Blessed js stupid

#

Yknow what beats blissey

sweet crypt
#

Blissey however is physically frail

graceful osprey
#

Endeavor

sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

That too

sweet crypt
#

Does Chi-Yu even count as aquatic anymore?

#

Fish are generally aquatic but I'd imagine beads are not

#

Much less beads that are surrounded by magma

graceful osprey
#

Ok good

#

He does have zamazenta

#

So why does he have 5 mons....

#

He had a full team in post game final fight

sweet crypt
#

Where are you fighting him

graceful osprey
#

The arena

#

Brackets

sweet crypt
#

Hmm

graceful osprey
#

Not like it matters

#

Zenith gives zero fucks

#

Honestly

sweet crypt
#

Good question actually

graceful osprey
#

This is how it would feel to have a legendary in the pokemon world

#

You'd basically be unbeatable

sweet crypt
#

Most box arts no diff the entire game

#

Zygarde is on par with box arts in Complete form

#

So it makes sense

graceful osprey
#

In lore

#

Or in game?

sweet crypt
#

Both

graceful osprey
#

In lore its on par with fucking

#

Etrnamax

#

It's meant to stop world ending threats

sweet crypt
#

Is it? I'm not sure about Pokemon lore

graceful osprey
#

Zygarde is basically

#

Worlds in danger?

sweet crypt
#

Especially not with extremely varying canons

graceful osprey
#

Not anymore

sweet crypt
#

If Zygarde is supposed to protect the world it does a darn terrible job

graceful osprey
#

True

sweet crypt
#

Like 90% of Pokemon games have the villain putting the world into peril

#

Eternal drought/downpour

graceful osprey
#

I guess it doesn't count that as a real threat?

sweet crypt
#

Universe Resetting like mf Pucci from JJBA

#

I think Ghetsis just wanted world domination

graceful osprey
#

Also games and anime are different

sweet crypt
#

Lysandre wanted to nuke Kalos

graceful osprey
#

I wanna see the anime pit 100% complete Zygarde against Eternamax Eternatus

sweet crypt
#

Idk about the world but Kalos is pretty big

#

Necrozma wanted to steal the light from the world, I didn't see Zygarde there

graceful osprey
#

What came first

sweet crypt
#

That was where it first got Complete form tbf

graceful osprey
#

The game or anime?

sweet crypt
#

Because anime canon is dumb

graceful osprey
#

It should

#

But I'd jt did

#

A ten year old would have god

#

And none of the legendaries would roam

sweet crypt
#

Why would Hoopa-U be able to beat up fuckinf Dialga and Palkia so hard that they become mind controlled

graceful osprey
#

Cause they'd all be in a pc

#

....

#

That's stuoid

#

In theory

sweet crypt
#

Idk if the main character is even fully canon

graceful osprey
#

Dialga is unbeatable

#

Just

#

Stick em in a time loop

sweet crypt
#

I know Red is

graceful osprey
#

Ggs

sweet crypt
#

But did we ever see any of the other ones in any other game

#

Hmm

graceful osprey
#

I think...

sweet crypt
#

Ah well

graceful osprey
#

Black and white 2 had the mcs

sweet crypt
#

Ik b2w2 had them canonically exist

graceful osprey
#

I think

#

Yea

sweet crypt
#

(The ones from BW I mean)

#

And I think also the ones from DPP

graceful osprey
#

And one of them used a fully evolved starter on gym 1

sweet crypt
#

I think Cynthia mentioned them

#

But she's also still champion?

#

Idfk man

#

This shit's confusing

graceful osprey
#

The most confusing part os the legendaries

#

Especially in game

sweet crypt
#

I love how Zygarde Complete has "the power to overwhelm Xerneas or Yveltal"

graceful osprey
#

How can I have like 6 xernias at once

sweet crypt
#

And it loses to both in competitive

graceful osprey
#

In lore complete Zygarde is a monster

sweet crypt
#

People theorise that each game is a different universe

#

It sounds stupid but like

#

Is there any other way to really explain it?

graceful osprey
#

That's the only thing that could explain it

sweet crypt
#

Pokemon games aren't known for their good story and lore either ways, it's fine

graceful osprey
#

Gen 5 and 9 have a great story

#

I forget gen 8 had a story

coarse estuary
graceful osprey
#

It's just

#

Old man throws tantrum about a problem a thousand years away

#

Causes appocalpace

sweet crypt
coarse estuary
#

flawed logic debunked

sweet crypt
#

Either that or catching Ho-Oh/Lugia isn't canon

graceful osprey
#

Yea

#

Are we just gunna recon every legendary

sweet crypt
#

Idk, there's multiple Gods of Time and Space we have to explain it somehow

graceful osprey
#

Hop and yourself 100% caught zacian and zamazanta in canon

sweet crypt
#

At least Arceus we know has like 1000 "hands" in the form of the Arceus we see

graceful osprey
#

Technically

#

We never get arceus

#

Just a fragment of it

sweet crypt
#

Yeah we get its "hand"

#

I'm guessing that's the metaphor

graceful osprey
#

I like to imagine it's like a slow poke tail

sweet crypt
#

Would 1000 be Arceus' max though?

graceful osprey
#

It just

#

Pops off

#

Grows back

sweet crypt
#

Or would it be logically just infinite

graceful osprey
#

This girl

#

Is slownin the head

#

Yk ow what

#

I wanna bully leon

#

I will say

#

I like Leon as a champion a lot more than Geeta

#

Cause Leon actually does his fucking job

#

Geeta dumps her work on literal children

sweet crypt
#

Leon is like the only champion who tries to stop the big bad

#

Cynthia kinda just watches you do it

graceful osprey
#

He does for a bit

#

Probably would've worked

#

if he used an ultra ball

sweet crypt
#

Alder gets challenged by the big bad

#

And loses

graceful osprey
#

Why did he use a pokeball

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
#

Idek if Iris knows what is going on

graceful osprey
#

Probably not

#

Iris is a bit dumb

sweet crypt
#

Well I guess N isn't really the main villain

#

That's Ghetsis

#

Iris' theme makes it feel like she's beating the shit out of you for fun instead of actually taking it seriously

#

I like that

#

It's funny

graceful osprey
#

It's om par for iris

#

She's probably so happy fairy type wasn't found yet

sweet crypt
#

I like Iris because that's relatable

graceful osprey
#

A fairy type just invalidates iris

sweet crypt

And her full dragon team

sweet crypt
#

She does have an Aggron

graceful osprey
#

She does?

sweet crypt
#

And a Lapras (generally specially tanky)

#

And Archeops

wraith musk
#

dude lance has a gyarados n aerodactyl

#

those days dragon meant dinosaur or kaiju

sweet crypt
#

You really think they'd make a Dragon specialist with a full Dragon team in an older gen?

#

Lol

wraith musk
#

as there were only 4 useable lines

graceful osprey
#

Yea

#

The dragon gym

#

In unova at least

sweet crypt
#

Ykw good point actually

graceful osprey
#

Ignore gen 8 dragon leader

#

Fucking fruad

#

I hate his guts

sweet crypt
#

I love how Drayden canonically 1v1s Haxorus to train it

#

I'm pretty sure the game says that

#

Not to train himself no

graceful osprey
#

Drayden is that guy

sweet crypt
#

He 1v1s his Haxorus to train the Haxorus

graceful osprey
#

Why don't they have items

#

I guess cause this isn't battle tower?

#

I feel like bracket fights should have held items

sweet crypt
#

Also Drayden is alive during the events of SV

graceful osprey
#

Yea

sweet crypt
#

So that's cool

graceful osprey
#

I love beating up his son?

#

Grandson?

sweet crypt
#

Grandson

graceful osprey
#

I forget what he is

#

Toothpaste

sweet crypt
#

Drayton

graceful osprey
#

Yea

#

Toothpaste

#

That's his name

#

His new name is Colgate

sweet crypt
#

Bro's really just one of the best trainers in the academy without even trying

graceful osprey
#

Deal with it

#

I love how chill he is

#

Minus when kiwi loses

#

He rubs salt in that wound

sweet crypt
#

A little bit of trolling

graceful osprey
#

We do a bit of trolling

sweet crypt
#

Honestly the main story of Drayton is that he saw you arrive to the academy and decided at that point that it was time to troll Kieran

graceful osprey
#

Well

#

Yesnt?

sweet crypt
#

It's pretty funny actually

graceful osprey
#

In his own way he wanted to help him

#

With was

#

Us beating his team up

#

To help him snap back to his senses

#

Amd realise he's not that guy

sweet crypt
#

I guess partially

#

But it's definitely partially because he also wanted to say that line

graceful osprey
#

Tour comp team lost to an umbreon and an ogrepon

#

Retire

sweet crypt
#

Kieran actually could've KOd Caly-S

#

But he decided to yknow

#

Not target it with Sucker Punch

#

And instead target Koraidon with Sucker Punch

graceful osprey
#

Genius

sweet crypt
#

??????

#

You're a Fairy type use the Fairy move

#

I was kinda just expecting Light Screen/Reflect

#

Luckily he fumbled even worse than I did because it's Pokemon AI

#

Anyways Calyrex swept that one

#

I really need to redo that DLC

#

I was expecting something extremely sweaty with what I was told

#

Anyways on the topic of SV's DLC

#

Can wr just talk about how undeniably evil Raifort is?

#

Like bro she isn't even trying to hide it 💀

#

Jacq is cooked, bro's about to get sacrificed

graceful osprey
#

LETS GO BEA

#

The beat the faker

sweet crypt
#

Like ngl I kinda respect Raifort for being so evil without even trying to hide it

#

I just need to know how nobody suspects her yet

graceful osprey
#

Who?

#

I dont remeber names well

sweet crypt
#

The history teacher

#

She literally tries to use you for her own gain to free the Treasures of Ruin

graceful osprey
#

Oh her

#

Cause she's hot

sweet crypt
#

She also straight up admits she doesn't have a pure heart

#

Right before giving you Nasty Plot

graceful osprey
#

She's hot

sweet crypt
#

This is so amazing holy shit

graceful osprey
#

So she gets away with it

sweet crypt
#

She also nonchalantly talks about stealing artifacts from museums and graves

#

And she's also about to sacrifice Jacq (the teacher guy who's basically the actual professor since Sada and Turo don't fill that spot much)

graceful osprey
#

The nurse is the best staff member in the academy

#

Partly cause she's hot

#

Mostly cause she had a goal

#

And she achieved it

#

Ultra beasts unlocked

#

Oh

#

Necozoma is actually in the picture

#

In the hint

#

It's just so small you can't tell without zooming in

man i love N

#

just wish he didnt use shit mons

#

what they say ?

coarse estuary
#

the only reason n has "shit" mons is because if his ideals he only uses mons when he has too so anytime you fight n he only uses mons you can find in the immediate area then releases them after the fight

I like vanguard

Still not done yet but its fun

graceful osprey

I don't know the ultra beast types

#

So every time it's a surprise

sweet crypt
# graceful osprey I don't know the ultra beast types

Pheromosa: Bug/Fighting
Buzzwole: Bug/Fighting
Nihilego: Rock/Poison
Xurkitree: Electric
Celesteela: Steel/Flying
Kartana: Steel/Grass
Guzzlord: Dark/Dragon
Poipole and Naganadel: Poison/Dragon
Blacephalon: Fire/Ghost
Stakataka: Steel/Rock

sweet crypt
#

Can I just rant about something

#

So we all know Vileplume is based on the Rafflesia

#

Not only does it look like one, but the dex entries mention that Gloom smells terrible

#

And the rafflesia is known for smelling like rotten flesh

#

Here's the thing

#

Not only are Rafflesia non poisonous

#

But they're also edible

#

And they are parasitic plants, completely reliant on stealing nutrients from other plants from having no chlorophyll and thus being unable to undergo synthesis

#

Vileplume has both Chlorophyll as an ability and Synthesis as a move

graceful osprey
#

No ice....

sweet crypt
#

TLDR: Vileplume is a fraud pretending to be a Rafflesia

graceful osprey
#

Who else is ice aside from articuno?

sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

Hes not in raid dens

sweet crypt
#

True

#

Kyurem should be though

graceful osprey
#

KYUREM

#

MY GOAT

#

Are DNA splicers in gen 8?

sweet crypt
#

Iirc yeah

graceful osprey
sweet crypt
#

But you need to go to some guy in the Fighting/Ghost city

#

And get them along with other legendary specific items like Solariser from a random NPC

graceful osprey
#

The random item guy?

#

Who has a new deal every day

sweet crypt
#

I think?

#

Idk I got all of them a long time ago

graceful osprey
#

Triple axel is so stupid

sweet crypt
#

Taxel is either the best move ever or the worst

#

There is no in between

graceful osprey
#

It's great for so.eone like zygarde

sweet crypt
#

Tbf it's basically 120 BP 70% accuracy

graceful osprey
#

70%

#

It's a 90% accurate move

sweet crypt
#

And if you miss you have 60/20 BP instead

#

Or 0 if you're unlucky enough

graceful osprey
#

Does it not always hit 3 tjmes?

sweet crypt
#

No, each hit has a seperate accuracy check

graceful osprey
#

It's always hit thrice for me

#

My god rng

sweet crypt
#

Unlike most multi hit moves where they always hit all/have a seperate function determining how many times it hits apart from accuracy

graceful osprey
#

I guess that's fair

#

Sewing how it ramps up in power

#

Does loaded die bypass this?

sweet crypt
#

It's a 72.9% chance to hit all 3 if I did the math correct

sweet crypt
#

And some may even go Choice Band

graceful osprey
#

Hdb?

sweet crypt
#

Heavy-Duty Boots

graceful osprey
#

J don't speak comp

#

Oh

sweet crypt
#

It may perhaps be the best held item in the game

graceful osprey
#

That's valid

sweet crypt
#

It's definitely up there

graceful osprey
#

Stopping all entry hazards is great

sweet crypt
#

It turns defensive types that one may consider shit like Fire/Flying into an actually great defensive type

#

Because the biggest weakness of that type are the sneaky pebbles

#

Rock types are otherwise uncommon

#

And if they exist they're Garganacl or a suicide lead

graceful osprey
#

Salt cure low key broken?

sweet crypt
#

In Gen 8 there was Ttar

#

But no Garganacl

#

So it evens out

#

Especially since there was also no Glimmora

graceful osprey
#

Gen 9 meanwhile

#

Has both

sweet crypt
#

Purifying Salt is like 3 abilities at once

#

Actually more like 2

brisk hedge
sweet crypt
#

Halves Ghost damage, makes you immune to all status

brisk hedge
#

I’m not sorry

sweet crypt
#

OK I need to stop typoing

#

But yeah people are pretty salty about it

graceful osprey
#

I could care less

#

It's a pile a salt

#

Just splash jt with water

#

Isn't it's special defense bad?

sweet crypt
sweet crypt
graceful osprey
#

I forget about tera

sweet crypt
#

The special bulk is 100/90

graceful osprey
#

I have lost two lives cause of this FUCKING JYNX

#

GIB KYUREM

sweet crypt
#

Since the physical bulk is 100/130 it can afford to invest more into SpD

#

Which makes it just very tanky on both ends

graceful osprey
#

I used it on a run once

#

Its....

#

Not good for casual

#

For comp maybe

sweet crypt
#

Simply Salt Cure+Recover

graceful osprey
#

Yea

#

For casual that's boring

sweet crypt
#

It's definitely a slower playstyle

graceful osprey
#

My boy?

sweet crypt
#

And in casual things are easy enough for you to click button and win

graceful osprey
#

MY GOAT

graceful osprey
#

There's a small chance

#

A very slim chance we win this

#

Honestly

#

I might shiny hunt you

#

I hate my fucking life

#

Why do you have an aoe

sweet crypt
#

Blizzard?

#

Yeah good luck lmfao

graceful osprey
#

No

#

Fucking

#

I forgot

sweet crypt
#

Glaciate then?

graceful osprey
#

Yes

sweet crypt
#

Glaciate has like 60 BP

#

It's fine

graceful osprey
#

It wipes

sweet crypt
#

Simply tank

graceful osprey
#

It killed our dragon and the one that WOULDNT SWITCH OUT

#

WHEN YOURE ONE TAP

#

I FUCKING HATE AI

sweet crypt
#

Oh

#

Ai trainer moment

#

I think between my 6 favourite Pokemon (Latios, Lunala, Volcarona, Ogerpon, Chi-Yu, Scizor), I dislike Ogerpon's shiny (unreleased anyways), Volcarona's is eh for me, Scizor and Latios have decent shinies and Lunala and Chi-Yu have amazing shinies... but I prefer the base colouration anyways

sweet crypt
#

Weavile looks less like a weasel than Chien-Pao

#

Weavile is slower, weaker, has less BST, is less weasel-like and is less cool than Chien-Pao, while having a similar stat spread, role, and even the exact same type

#

They don't joke when saying Chien-Pao is Mega Weavile, huh?

sweet crypt
#

The "less cool" part is subjective tbf

#

The rest is fact, unfortunately

#

Have you seen a weasel IRL?

brisk hedge
sweet crypt
#

What can I say?

#

Weavile is still a great mon

#

It's just that Chien-Pao isn't just great, it's broken

graceful osprey
#

Oh?

coarse estuary
#

galar star tour was goated idea

sturdy sparrow
#

best shiny i ever got from 2 playthrus of legend arceus

coarse estuary
sweet crypt
#

Yknow the guy who was top 1 and 2 at RandBats at the same time once, is a skilled Singles player in general and also got runner up for last year's VGC worlds?

#

Yeah he's in the running for top 1 of VGC worlds again

sweet crypt
#

My best shiny is an Iron Valiant... that a friend gave to me

coarse estuary
sweet crypt
#

My shiny luck is horrendous and I'm very impatient

sturdy sparrow
#

never got a golden boy

coarse estuary
#

yeah the only 2 shinies i own are full odds random ones

sturdy sparrow
#

still respectable

coarse estuary
#

i will say though despite it being a bad shiny i will always hold the full odds galv in my heart as super special as galv is my 2nd favorite mon of all time and on my favorite playthrough team of all time

LE GASP

#

Can I change it whenever now?

wheat pebble
#

Anyone Wanna help me with my Snaplocke. Need pokemon banned. It's blaze black and all of gen 1 has already been banned. So anyone from gen 2 through 5 , I need 110 more bans. Not asking you to give all of them. I'll tell you if any you select is banned. One pokemon on a line bans a whole evo line btw

graceful osprey
#

Why are Leon and Mustard allowed to team up

#

Mustard teaming up with anyone is a crime

wheat pebble
#

For real tho

#

It's a champion and an ex champion

#

That isn't fair

graceful osprey
#

Mustard js a threat

#

Pair him with leon

#

The only other kinda threat in the game

#

And we have an actual danger

#

I have a level 100 Zygarde and I'm almost losing

wheat pebble
#

That's Cynthia levels of danger

graceful osprey
#

Gmax urshifu is so scary

#

Gmax anything is scarry

wheat pebble
#

Is it a nuzlocke?

graceful osprey
#

Scarey*

#

No

#

It's not

#

I'm not used to steamrollong everything in gen 8

#

Anything challenging is a shock

wheat pebble
#

Cuz I'm currently snaplocking blaze black and still need suggestions for 109 more pokemon

graceful osprey
#

No idea what a snaploke is

#

51k???

#

Damn

#

Peony?

#

What

wheat pebble
#

It's a nuzlocke but half the dex is bamned

#

Like it got Thanos snapped

graceful osprey
#

Uhhhh

#

Can you just like

wheat pebble
#

So I'm asking different servers to ban until I have 325 mons banned

graceful osprey
#

Rng wheel with dex numbers?

wheat pebble
#

And uh. Throughout the servers they already banned all of gen 1

graceful osprey
#

I don't know the dex for gen 5.2

#

ban all gen 5 pokemon

wheat pebble
#

Nah lol

graceful osprey
#

Yea I'm joking

#

Uhhh

#

How many grass types you got left?

#

Why was grass the first that....

#

Whatever

wheat pebble
#

Idk I'm just making a list of everything that's banned

graceful osprey
#

Uhhhhhh

#

Can I just

#

Delete a type?

#

Say

#

Dragon types

#

No more of them allowed

#

Granted that's not many

wheat pebble
#

Nah. I'm doing individual Evo lines per the rules

graceful osprey
#

Ok

#

Uh

#

Can I ban the elemental monkeys?

#

All 3 and their evos

#

Granted the only one that really matters is simisage

#

The other two are kinda meh

wheat pebble
#

Those have already been snapped in another server lol. Someone just snapped away rotom and it's forms

graceful osprey
#

Ugh

#

Uhhhh

#

I'm assuming every eevee has been snapped

wheat pebble
#

Nope

graceful osprey
#

Oh

#

They're gone then

wheat pebble
#

Just the gen 1 and leafeon

graceful osprey
#

No fun for you

wheat pebble
#

Damn

graceful osprey
#

I'm sorry

#

I can't think of anything else

#

Beside it'd happen eventuallt

#

I feel bad

#

Eevee and it's eeveeloutions are so fun

#

Are any of then actually good?

#

Like viable

#

I just run umbreon cause I love umbreon

wheat pebble
#

Need a tank? Umbreon. Need high damage? Flareon and Leafeon
Need speed? Jolteon

#

They all are good in different eays

graceful osprey
#

Technically

#

Umbreon in gen 9 has 300+ sp atk

wheat pebble
#

I'm talking base stats not after calcs

#

All the eeveelutions have the same base stat values just switched around to different stats

unkempt egret
#

incidentally it's also impossible to raise umbreon's special attack stat that high in any gen, the highest it'll go is 240 assuming optimal conditions on everything.

#

but yea in-game all of them are viable to some extent though flareon and glaceon might take a bit more work and for leafeon you're probably better off using tsareena if it isn't gen 9 (or you banned Z-moves/tera)

#

looks up* blaze black, not sure if they've been changed at all there.

sweet crypt
#

OK so both Gyarados and Blissey are already banned?

#

Fuck

#

Those would be my first 2 choices for banning

#

Since those 2 are insane and would make things far easier

#

Clefable would've been nice to ban as well due to Magic Guard

#

But speaking of Magic Guard

#

Ban Reuniclus

#

Or rather, the entire Solosis line

#

No Magic Guard allowed

#

Or Overcoat, or Regenerator

#

And maybe also Garchomp because it's just a strong Pokemon all around

graceful osprey
#

Guard swap

#

Or whatever it's called

#

I think it swaps my def and atk stats

#

Sp as well

#

So like

sweet crypt
#

Wait actually hold the phone

#

Has anyone banned Shedinja or Excadrill

#

Wait actually there may be entry hazards since it is a romhack

#

So ykw yeah actually forget Reuniclus, forget Garchomp

#

I'm banning Excadrill

#

Actually maybe Salamence?

#

Intimidate is crazy

#

And Salamence is pretty versatile

#

Physical with Dragon Dance

#

Special going off that 100 SpA isn't bad either

#

You can run mixed since you cant just find an optimal nature for either stat

#

But I feel like Salamence might already be banned?

#

And it's obtained at like level 50

#

I'm gonna say Excadrill or Salamence, if neither are banned Excadrill takes priority

#

But if you allow multiple bans I ban both lol

unkempt egret
#

I know I banned shedinja for being cheese in my runs rofl

#

but that's just a me thing and I've banned other things most people consider fair like the 600 BST pseudo-legends and slaking

gl on the rest

static hatch
#

I'll be honest, Celebi was my main target at first, but i figured i might as well go after the rest as long as i'm playing through pokemon crystal.

static hatch
#

The gen 2 legendaries have such good shiny sprites

#

I basically centered this pokemon crystal playthrough around doing these shiny hunts, I have power leveled my starter, The only other pokemon i'm actively using is a Magnezone for thunder wave, and my other pokemon are HM slaves
