Hey, would someone like to help me with a trade in BDSP?

I need someone to change my Rotom into Rotom-Heat, teach it Overheat and then trade it back.

Additionally, if you have an extra Scope Lens, or don't care about the item, I could really use that for another team member for my playthrough 🙂

If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.

It’s better then the other Pokémon mobile games at least

I prefer Unite than that

I like go and mas, haven't played sleep cafe or unite though

I forgot go exists

I've played all of those except go

#

No, actually I played go for a bit

#

didn't like it ngl

Yeah, Go is hot trash

#

Go was fun until about later 2022 early 2023 when they started reverting all of the "COVID feature" mechanics that should have been standard features

#

I still play nowadays but it's more of a bonus since my job involves a lot of walking either way

May I request a romhack recommendation here? PiplupPlease which one of these romhacks should I play next (has to be romhack and not fangame for the next month for reasons). Or is there another with fakemon and/or regional variants that you would recommend?

I'll dissect this in a bit once I'm back on the computer but as a heads up on Vega specifically, there is also Viva las Vega as another way to play it. This version doesn't have the fairy type but adds in the postgame mons in the maingame. Minus + fairy patch is still a solid way to play though. Both are a bit tricky difficulty wise (not nearly as much as vanilla vega though) but if you don't mind that or fakemons then I very muc rec those two

#

alright now that I'm here I'll give my thoughts on some of those.

#

Clover is 4chan being at their most channy, I wouldn't rec myself but that might be your cup of tea, I dunno.
Quartz is an... acquired taste to say the least. if you're into so-bad-it's-good hacks I'd much more recommend this over snakewood which feels painful to play in addition to look at. Grab Ultra quartz if you can which has postgame mons
Sienna's a throwback but that blurb says it all: not finished but the quality is nice for what it is.
Snakewood I just gave my thoughts on not a fan of this one.
Touhoumon is... well it's touhou so it might take some time to get used to the characters and the new typing chart, but if you can get past that these hacks can be quite fun, and I'm glad their suggestions were the two I was actually going to rec anyway. (purple is also tricky but not to an absurd degree) I'd also suggest Ordinary version as well which is notably a gen 2 hack and uses the regular pokemon type chart. Out of those 3 I'd most rec Enhanced as a good gateway into touhoumon.
Infinite Fusion: ...oh hey. heehee

There's also a few I like that weren't mentioned there so I'll add them too:
Altered Emerald: Vanilla emerald but some nutty things have been done to pokemon, such as exeggcute having a wishiwashi-esque situation going on.
Goodruby: exactly as it says, it's an improved version of ruby but with a full gen 3 dex.
Alte Red: Turns all gen 1-3 mons into different versions of themselves. Neat if you don't mind a brutal endgame difficulty spike
Emerald Z: A recently released hack of emerald that adds in a few fakemons and has been neat from what I've played of it
Kanto Black: Fire Red but with gen 5 (and some 6) mons! ...not much else to say there.
I haven't played too much of the new Seagrass yet but I like what I've played so far.
I don't have much experience with hacks outside of gen 3 though, ordinary version aside, so I'm not of much help there.

#

bit of a wall but I hope that helped in giving you some suggestions on what to play.

i fucking hate lopunny

i hate the fact that i'm not allowed to say i like lopunny without having to follow up with a giant explaination

lop is rlly cool,,,,

also i forgor how fat milotic is that it can tank a STAB discharge

tho it did come from an A-golem

I'm mid on Lopunny, but I do like her mega

but her design is pretty overliked by a bunch of people

maybe they just want more furries to play the game

do u recommend anyway to lvl up pokemon fast because im gonna go to the pokeleague and my team consists of pokemon under lvl 30

and charizard is lvl 63

and i dont think i can solo elite four with just charizard

especially with gary at the end

That’s like
The main blunder you need to avoid

since the pokemon league music is already making me nervous

sly ginkgo

Usually nearby routes have high level mons

?

#

im in route 23 rn

#

i could just grind here

#

Figured that would have been obvious ngl
That’s where all the high level wild encounters are

naive timber
#

route 23

#

is that apart of victory road

#

alr

#

ill defeat all the trainers then ig

#

this is gonna take forever 😭

sly ginkgo
#

Well you’re gonna have to else you’re not beating the game lmao

naive timber
#

alr

#

ig

#

time to grind

#

raichu is alr lvl 30 so

#

40*

#

so thats a start

sly ginkgo
#

Mhm

#

My suggestion is swapping through all your team members and then continuing the fight

#

They’ll get xp even if they don’t do any damage

#

And i mean switching in battle

naive timber
#

alr

#

ill do that with all of them

#

guess it will be a bit easier found a lvl 42 primeape

#

i think ill just try find upgraded lvl versions of my pokemon

#

then itll be much easier

naive timber
sly ginkgo
#

You should probably para or sleep the enemy first then

#

In hindsight ya should have done it from the start

naive timber
#

ugh

#

idk if i even can be bothered to playh fire red rn

#

i might just move onto emerald

sly ginkgo
naive timber
#

any sleep or para youd suggest

#

honestly idk if i can even be bothered to do all this

#

its gonna take too long to get all these 60

#

should i just move onto emerald

sly ginkgo
#

Not exactly
Especially if you catch stronger wild versions

#

Be patient lmfao

Then that doesn’t apply to them lol

i think ill just set a macro

to make me run in 1 direction and back

im going to face the elite four rn to see if i can at least beat 1 or 2

if u lose and u beat 3/4 of elite 4

does ur progress reset

#

or no

#

You lose all the progress i think
No matter how many you beat

naive timber
#

oof

#

im going to need lots of ethers and potions

#

this is gonna take wayyyy tooo long

#

i think ill just move onto emerald and come back to fire red later

I dont think brute force is gonna work for me anymore unfortunately

Does it need an item or something?

never saw one even with B- luck

anything that helps you self-sustain

proven geyser
#

ye, the little jar guys. pay special attention to which stats they boost, and give them to your best pokemon accordingly

for example, i would be a dumbass to put protein on my milotic

latent granite
#

my first win i had a mon with 1160 sp atk

#

though that was before the "run history" was added

proven geyser
#

i mean sure you can win without status or hazards, but it's important to start forcing yourself to use at least one status move, to break the "click button win" mindset that's easy to fall into in the mainline games

tall knoll
#

I'll probably look up or check what goes on what at least

proven geyser
#

just to get used to the idea of using status

cant be a threat if you cant hit me

proven geyser

,,,milotic is traditionally a special attacker

also there is a limit based on IVs

per stat tho

abstract tusk

why wouldnt i max them all though?

proven geyser
#

i mean if you've already maxxed you attackers and don't feel like rerolling??

#

like there's literally no point unless you're running physical

#

and it makes foul play hit harder

#

against you

#

it's why people run 0 attack IVs on their special attackers in showdown, to make confusion not hit so hard and to reduce foul play damage

#

it is specifically a detriment to your special attacker to put protein on it

not all status is stall thankfully

toxic is only good for early in runs, since everything starts having lum berries

i stole it from wave 1k this endless run

still have it on my zoroetta

still waiting for the thing to pop up in regular playthrough lel

latent granite
#

however this also means it CAN be stolen from you as well

proven geyser
#

probably never will pop up for me

latent granite
#

it has a weight of 1 in the master ball quality so that means only 1% of purple items will be the black hole

#

and in this current run i have 3, granted one i stole from e-max

latent granite
# tall knoll Okay got it

another thing, Pickup and Magician abilities are great for runs, as they let you take from enemies

nimble quarry
#

why do i like bastiodon so much

unkempt egret
#

because it's a big fat wall that don't take much damage from anything not named fighting and ground? (which is easy to cover with a flying or ghost type teammate)

#

then again in game you can also patch up its biggest flaw of not having Recover

Please answer only if you're familiar with all 3 of these games:

  1. Pokemon radical red
  2. Pokemon elite redux
  3. Pokemon infinite fusion

If you never finished any of these games and your first run/playthrough of one of these games had to be randomized (and randomized abilities if it's radical red or elite redux), which game would you randomize?

I mean you're asking this in the infinite fusion discord but that'd probably be my answer anyway lol

emerald rom hack

#

feel free to look it up

#

it uses a lot of abilities that exist in radical red

#

it's pretty much the only 4 abilities hack

#

3 you can choose 1 from + 3 innate abilities

#

you automatically heal between battles and catch rate is always 100% iirc, and you get 1 of each item just from talking to the nurse in the pokemon center

#

also is there like a rom hack on rejuv and reborn or even pkmn desolation lvl

#

thing is reborn is edgy af and 1000 hours

#

rejuv n deso are incomplete

Guys is there an in lore reason that the pokemon in radical red have different types or more types than usual like zigzagoon having dark and normal or ponyta having fairy and fire or is it just like a cool gimmick

naive timber
#

#

considering u speedrunned

naive timber
#

alr

#

untold hill
#

I don't remember tbh

naive timber
#

alr

#

#

to lvl

#

since i can rematch trainers

#

welp

#

i just found a money farm and exp farm

slender lily
#

Hi does anybody play scarlet and violet that have a spare litten the can part ways with?

naive timber
#

finally

#

HES DEAD

#

time to move to emerald

#

only after 40 hours...

wraith musk
naive timber
#

i pretty much

#

used raichu

#

and charizard

#

and just used my other pokemon to heal raichu and charizard

#

yall im starting emerald what tips would you recommend to get my whole team evenly levelled and be ready for when i do go to the elite 4

#

because i screwed up in fire red really bad by just full focusing my starter

#

so idk what ill do in this

Defeating Pokemon trainers in a battle is not "killing" them why do gamers say they died or are dead?
This isn't a murder scene you know and Pokemon is a kids game not a rated R or an 18+ game with blood and gore

unkempt egret
#

because Nuzlockes gotta add their drama somehow

#

(ignoring the creator's intent to not use those terms for that exact reason rofl)

#

you probably can still have a nuzlocke be canon-koshier without the death but considering how main series values heavy bonds and unending friendship it'd probably result in the trainer being very troubled at best and completely callous at worst.

hard plume
#

nuzlocke but instead of releasing your pokemon you put them in a box

#

call it "the nursing box"

naive timber
proven geyser
#

people tend to put pokemon in the "ranch" or graveyard so they on't have to release them, or so they can see their journey

#

some streamers do that so it's easier to show chat what happened between streams

unkempt egret
#

I was gonna say yea I just box mine myself

#

and when the run ends they're taken to my main game and trained up as normal if they did a noteworthy enough job

#

WHELP

#

had to catch a nuzleaf for something in US/UM

#

first one I found was shiny rofl

#

(which isn't impressive because US/UM's insane FOURTY PERCENT shiny rate in the wormholes on normal mons)

#

(my date's one day behind because I needed to do something with island scan)

naive timber
#

can anybody help me out i started emerald today and i need help with levelling like idk how im gonna level it because in fire red i just full levelled my charizard and forgot about my other pokemon then i screwed up on elite 4 so since im on emerald now i dont want to make the same mistake

brisk hedge
naive timber
brisk hedge
naive timber
#

wdym so like when my starter levels up i level the others

brisk hedge
#

Yeah

naive timber
#

?

naive timber
#

ig ill get starter levelled up 1 then all the others then the main again

naive timber
#

mid game

proven geyser
#

woooah minun's red shiny looks fantastic

brisk hedge
naive timber
#

i currently have 1 pokemon i need for his team so ill think ill just do it with that for now

brisk hedge
#

Yeah, I probably should have specified that you only need to do that with Pokémon you actually intend to use

naive timber
#

alr thanks

#

will try it out

naive timber
#

to the other pokemon

brisk hedge
naive timber
#

so like the ones that are at the top not the bottom

#

the ones i want to level up are at the bottom

#

does that affect something?

proven geyser
#

damn im looking at my team for my elec only and wondering if i should catch a magnemite

#

the only one i've caught is pawmi, so the rest have some form of egg move

#

minun has passive plus ice beam/baddybad(reflect+dark)/tail glow

#

i also caught a yellow shiny rattata lmao

#

my now manectric has 2/blue luck i just hate the way the blue shiny looks

sweet crypt
proven geyser
#

nah but i believe i can relearn it

#

pichu has it tho

#

plus passive

sweet crypt
#

Wait actually Rising Voltage wouldn't be useful without Electric Terrain

proven geyser
#

yes

sweet crypt
#

Did you unlock that passive

proven geyser
#

and pichu's passive isssssssss

sweet crypt
#

If you did, Manectric becomes wish.com Miraidon

proven geyser
#

yeah you made fun of my poor dog before

sweet crypt
#

But Wish.com Miraidon is still broken as fuck

proven geyser
#

stop calling her thaaaaat

sweet crypt
#

It's the closest comparison I can bring up

proven geyser
#

but pichu is notch ear so he'll evo into partner

sweet crypt
#

Worse ability

#

Worse/equal stats

proven geyser
#

manectric was first

sweet crypt
#

No secondary STAB

proven geyser
#

miraidon is overtuned manectric

sweet crypt
#

They both even have fire STAB

proven geyser
#

it's...

#

not stab?

sweet crypt
#

My brain died mb

#

I meant coverage

proven geyser
#

coverage

sweet crypt
#

What lack of sleep does to mf

#

But yeah, even without egg moves I believe both get Overheat

brisk hedge
# naive timber does that affect something?

The Pokémon at the top right of your party is the one that gets sent out at the start of battle. If you switch Pokémon during battle, the experience gets split between both Pokémon which results in both Pokémon getting less

sweet crypt
#

They also both get an ice move via egg move

#

Which I'm inclined to think is Ice Beam

proven geyser
#

overheat gives special recoil but flamethrower is 100% and can burn

sweet crypt
#

And Rising Voltage is an egg move for both

proven geyser
#

probably

#

minun gets ice beam

sweet crypt
#

Overheat does a metric shitton more damage tbf

#

2 Overheats > 2 Flamethrowers

naive timber
sweet crypt
#

I think

#

Unless I'm being stupid rn

#

That's with the SpA drop

proven geyser
#

when your 2 overheats miss then 2 flamethrowers are better

sweet crypt
#

It's a very strong move

sweet crypt
proven geyser
#

lmao

#

thats what flamethrowers for

sweet crypt
#

Tbf, usually you just land 1 Overheat and swap out

#

In competitive

proven geyser
#

or i can tail glow minun then baton pass to manec

sweet crypt
proven geyser
#

no point if flamethrower does the tric after +3 with plus spatk nature

sweet crypt
#

Usually Overheat is used on sets more meant to wallbreak

proven geyser
#

but we're not playing comp, just pokerogue

sweet crypt
#

For example, a slower Pokemon or a Specs user

#

Specs doesn't exist though :(

proven geyser
#

put toxic on toxtricity and ur good

brisk hedge
proven geyser
sweet crypt
#

And honestly in a lot of cases Flamethrower could be used, Fire Blast is a preferred alternative for damage

#

Damage is extremely important

proven geyser
#

sure but so is chip when the rivals ray OHKOs your main dealer

#

at the end it's just a matter of different strats

sweet crypt
#

If people are running Gunk Shot over the move with a 50% chance to paralyse, Poison or sleep

#

Then that's a very good sign that damage is extremely important

proven geyser
#

i prefer the more balanced and careful approach

sweet crypt
#

That's fair

#

After all, it's an AI

#

You aren't gonna have issues either ways

proven geyser
#

you can literally put spikes/rocks up and force it to swap because it prefers SE damage

sweet crypt
#

Obviously it'd be great

#

Hazards are always great

proven geyser
#

yeah no shit its not needed

sweet crypt
#

But like I said, it's an AI

proven geyser
#

but i was pointing out

sweet crypt
#

I want to give a shoutout to Eternatus' AI

proven geyser
#

that that's why it can be beaten as an ai

sweet crypt
#

Constantly using resisted moves on targets where it has a SE move for that would kill it near immediately

#

I think what it is doing is picking a good move for one target but picking the other Pokemon instead

proven geyser
#

maybe it thinks it sees a kill with its STAB

sweet crypt
#

That's what it feels like

proven geyser
#

oh that too

sweet crypt
#

Sees the kill with its STAB Poison move

#

...

stray heart
#

Thoughts on this creature?

sweet crypt
#

On a Steel type

stray heart
sweet crypt
proven geyser
#

you said resisted not immune

#

thats very different

sweet crypt
#

It sees a SE Poison hit on the teammate

proven geyser
#

you can kill with a resist, you cant kill with immune

sweet crypt
#

But doesn't swap targets

sweet crypt
#

And that's another thing that makes me believe that's what it is

proven geyser
#

gooby baby :)

sweet crypt
#

Goodra is a decent Pokemon

stray heart
#

Best Psuedo-Legendary, change my mind

sweet crypt
#

It's like a high B tier for me, a lot of extremely popular Pokemon end up in that tier

proven geyser
#

it's the best pokemon to make me happy

#

goodra smile is SE to my damn heart

sweet crypt
#

It isn't ranked highly among the Pseudo legends for me but that's because they're the fucking Pseudo legends

proven geyser
#

who cares hes baby

stray heart
#

That evolves into a friendly slime dragon who wants hugs

sweet crypt
#

That's like comparing Solgaleo and Lunala

sweet crypt
#

Either ways you've got 2 peak Pokemon

naive timber
sweet crypt
#

The sad part about Goodra is that while its a good Pokemon casually

#

It uhh

#

Stinks competitively, to say the least

#

Exceptionally so

proven geyser
#

there's like a handful of comp pokemon so who cares

#

hes perfect

#

ew dexit

#

also stop pinging me constantly

sweet crypt
#

Mb discord automatically sets replies to ping

proven geyser
#

u dont have to set reply tho

sweet crypt
#

And I cannot be bothered to turn it off every single fucking time

proven geyser
#

i can discern the context

sweet crypt
#

Goodra is particularly sad though because Goodra is all the way down in PU

proven geyser
#

im heartbroken abt lando t

#

😔

sweet crypt
#

For comparison, the lowest tier a Pseudo Legendary is in apart from base Goodra is like RU

#

That's 2 tiers above Goodra

#

Like bro buff this mf

#

Please

wraith musk
#

goodra deserves poison type

#

and curse

#

(non hisui)

sweet crypt
#

Its best ability is fucking Sap Sipper

proven geyser
#

eh, not really poison

sweet crypt
#

As a Grass resist

wraith musk
#

would work

sweet crypt
#

It's over

wraith musk
#

just give it gooey

proven geyser
#

almost all absorb abilities are on resisting pokemon

#

save for p wooper

sweet crypt
#

Poison/Dragon could work thematically and also uhh...

#

Well, not make it fully unique

proven geyser
#

poison feels mean on goodra

sweet crypt
#

There's already another specially bulky Dragon/Poison type in Gen 6

#

Poison's a great defensive type

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

It'll be fine

proven geyser
#

they should've taken the chance to give us a dragon/fairy

wraith musk
#

one of the only mons after moveset cut to still have toxic

#

it's clear

sweet crypt
#

I think Water/Dragon with Poison Heal would be more fun though

proven geyser
#

true

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

Why does Mandibuzz learn Toxic by level up?

wraith musk
#

no idea

proven geyser
#

yes and umbreon has toxic, sweats poison, and has never been poison type

wraith musk
#

maybe since its a mean birb

proven geyser
#

i dont play the switch ones

wraith musk
#

i can't imagine poison umb

wraith musk
#

so you use gen 8 ?

sweet crypt
#

Gliscor lost roost

wraith musk
#

I am showdown kinda guy

proven geyser
#

gen 8 is switch

sweet crypt
#

Idk why though

sweet crypt
#

Gliscor's a weird Pokemon

wraith musk
#

true

sweet crypt
#

It is mainly defensive

wraith musk
#

like no flying stab

proven geyser
#

the only thing i do on showdown is randbats gen 7

sweet crypt
#

And a staple on bulky teams

#

And stall

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

But it also can use Swords Dance?

wraith musk
#

yes

#

since gen 2

sweet crypt
#

It's interesting

#

Fits on more than one teamstyle

#

And has more than one role

wraith musk
#

also it's got crabhammer of all fucking things

proven geyser
#

because it has crab claws duh

wraith musk
#

bruh

#

scizor ain't a fucking crab

sweet crypt
#

It has very similar claws

proven geyser
#

anyway back to grind, the only competitive shit i know is via stunfisk memes so dont ping me on this anymore lmao

sweet crypt
#

Claws aren't really unique to crabs

#

Also, Scizor with a method to hit mons like Moltres and Heatran sounds terrifying

#

Still slow though thank god

#

Gotta predict the switch to land the hit

wraith musk
#

idk why it got buff in defense

#

never helped

#

should've kept the speed

sweet crypt
#

If you coated yourself with a thick layer of metal, you'd become more protected from attacks yet slower too

#

Scizor's still better because of the type and the technician STAB Bullet Punches

wraith musk

true

I miss bug bite tho

@proven geyser new record

proven geyser
#

yikes, keeping fairy on prima is preferred

#

woulda been better to put garg and whim together as they generally fill the same niche, esp with prankster recover

proven geyser
# abstract tusk

yeah keeping primarina as fairy/water would have been better in general, water/rock gives him a quad weakness to grass, where fairy/water only has 3 weaknesses and a whopping 6 resists(plus dragon immunity)

#

no STAB moonblast is a severe dagger

unkempt egret
#

salt cure is a nice move but generally better spent on stone walls like that Stakataka

#

or mons that aren't attacking much anyway like the whimsicott

proven geyser
#

that too, stak or whim

#

adding garg to prima basically neutered him

unkempt egret
#

there is also the other way to use fusions

#

which is to intentionally avoid giving a pokemon a medal that you want to use again but I forget how relevant that is in the current version

proven geyser
#

i assume you just don't get more vouchers

#

wait actually prima is such an amazing special tank that he can absorb grass STABs from most pokemon like nothing, i'd wager that the decision to fuse that way killed the run

#

seeing the sp.def lower than the def hurts my soul

#

i know im mid elec only but i kinda wanna do a "band" challenge where i use only sound and music based pokemon

abstract tusk

ive been spamming oblivion wing this entire run

proven geyser

i'd say slowking and alakazam, the second pokemon you pick will give the ability

abstract tusk
#

ok

#

inner focus or own tempo then

proven geyser
#

you don't necessarily have to fuse either

#

no, synchronize or curious medicine

abstract tusk
#

those are the abilities the have

#

they*

#

rn

proven geyser
#

and they will give either synchronize or curious medicine

abstract tusk
#

curious medicine is better no?

proven geyser
#

you don't have to fuse if it's not remotely beneficial

#

nothing says you need to use the item

abstract tusk
#

i mean the only other option is a lure

proven geyser
#

no stat boosters or berries?

abstract tusk
#

lure 5 pokeballs dna splicers stealth rock and ether

#

and get more special atk?

mighty timber
#

Dont know if this is a dumb question but is there a pokemon game with every single pokemon and battle mechanic such as mega and stuff like that?

mighty timber
#

what does afaik mean

sweet crypt
#

This is mainly because I have not seen a single Pokemon fangame that implements Z Moves and Terastalisation

#

Apart from Pokerogue for the latter ig

#

And while Gmax gets implemented a lot, it isn't usually implemented accurate to the main series and I have never seen Dynamax itself implemented

mighty timber
#

ohhh ok ok yea no that makes sense

#

dang i wish there was though it would be really cool

#

thanks for answering my question though it for real helps me alot

sweet crypt
#

The closest is probably something like Radical Red which has every Pokemon (though idk if all of them are obtainable) and implements gmax as mega evolutions while keeping normal Pokemon gameplay, or Pokerogue which isn't normal Pokemon gameplay but adds Gmax as Mega-like enhancements AND Tera

#

Tera and Dmax both being universal gimmicks doesn't help matters

mighty timber
#

ok ok bet ill still check those games out thought

sweet crypt
#

You could say that gimmicks would not be allowed on the same Pokemon, using Mega Rayquaza not being able to use Z Moves as evidence

#

Even then, you need to add like some option for someone to pick between the 2

#

Every Pokemon with every generational gimmick would be cool, but I don't think anyone would want to do such a thing due to how tedious it'd be

#

... well

#

There is one that kinda does that

mighty timber
#

oh dang well i can only hope lol but yea no that does seem kinda tedious and oh dang really?

sweet crypt
#

Minecraft Pixelmon usually has most, if not all Pokemon, all items, all TMs and it has all gimmicks except Tera currently, which makes me believe that they'd add Tera after adding the remaining Pokemon

#

But like

#

Lmfao

mighty timber
#

im dead nah i get what you mean tho lmao

sweet crypt
#

The fact that the closest to what you want is fucking Pixelmon is insane

#

Actually nutty

mighty timber
#

yea no thats actually crazy

sweet crypt
#

Well... I guess there is Pokemon Showdown

#

But that's a pvp simulator

#

Unless all you want to do is battle other real people and ladder, that's not an option for a playthrough
