rugged comet
#

dang it got a sharp defense increase

sweet crypt
#

Aether Foundation on this run

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

That's nice, since I know Scizor fodderises Lusamine

rugged comet
#

doing over 120 dmg with tail slap atm

#

per hit

#

or I was

#

maybe that mon just had low defense

sweet crypt
#

Why do you say that as if it's consistent, Pokemon have different defences yknow

rugged comet
#

Yeah Cinccino is useless this fight

sweet crypt
#

Jesus fucking christ that is a horror

#

YO MY FIRST IRON MOTH

#

It's Adamant but I can just catch some later

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

And I got Astral Barrage on Blacephalon

#

Magic Guard Mind Blown Chloroblast Astral Barrage

#

Holy shit

#

Yeah, my luck is slowly doing me in

#

Gonna swap to Scyther temporarily to save the run

#

Even as a Dragonair, it can't win waves very cleanly

#

And will eventually be forced out due to taking too much damage

#

This means I can't level it well

#

And I end up underleveled

#

So I need to swap to Scizor to keep it leveled, as it can easily handle most Pokemon

rugged comet
#

free exp

sweet crypt
#

It evolved as I was typing that

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Imagine if you encountered Blissey on a special attacker only run

#

Agony

#

Blissey has 255 HP and 10 Defence, as you probably know

#

Which should be more than enough to explain how that single hit of Tail Slap did so much

rugged comet
#

rare egg move

sweet crypt
#

They nerfed Cosmog so hard

#

Definitely the worst box art legendaries now, even ignoring the fact that they start as Cosmog :(

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Astral Barrage is nice in double battles I suppose, but Moongeist Beam bypassing abilities is also very amazing

#

Unaware? Multiscale? Sturdy? Nah, get outta here

#

Photon Geyser is your best Psychic STAB but Psychic STAB is not great on Lunala in particular

#

Honestly I'd probably use Psyshock for Blissey instead

#

Precipice Blades is small upgrade over Earthquake, you no longer kill your teammate, and you do slightly more damage but trade accuracy for it

#

I'm not sure what the 3rd egg move is

rugged comet
#

do we think it goes boom?

sweet crypt
#

Maybe Bitter Blade?

#

Idk

rugged comet
#

nope it goes swap

#

he has roaring moon

sweet crypt
#

The reason why I say they're the worst box arts is because their egg moves are mostly just sidegrades

#

The only one that is definitely an upgrade is Photon Geyser for specifically Solgaleo

#

And Solgaleo needs more than that seeing that it is normally one of the worse box arts

#

Meanwhile we have stuff like Kyogre with Recover and Miraidon with Rising Voltage

#

I dont really see a reasoning that Lunala and Solgaleo should be stuck with less impressive egg moves compared to stuff like fucking BOLT BEAK ZEKROM LMFAO

#

Especially since they're already on the lower end of box arts, and have to start as Cosmog

#

But that's just a nitpick

rugged comet
#

cyrus got screwed by moody

#

I wouldn't have killed with my move if it didn't get a special defense drop

sweet crypt
#

I mean ofc I'd complain if Lunala and Solgaleo are the weakest box arts even if there has to be one

#

When my favourite box art is Lunala

#

By box art I mean box art legendary (excluding Suicune lmfao L bozo)

#

Anyways, Scizor has managed to pull through against 55 Ivy despite being massively underleveled

#

Simply built different

rugged comet
#

I may be dumb

#

I used earth power twice on mismagius

sweet crypt
#

Marnie really thought she had me, leading Incineroar on Scizor

rugged comet
#

erika just made my Cinccino stronger

sweet crypt
#

Here's a little life lesson for you so that you don't keep your Incineroars on Tinted Lens Technician STAB Double Iron Bashes

rugged comet
#

I stole her silk scarf

sweet crypt
#

Incineroar has 60 base speed

#

Scizor has 65

#

... Why do I remember these?

#

Am I stupid?

#

I really should be using my brainpower on something more important than numbers in a video game and complaints that don't mean shit

rugged comet
#

berry pouches are great

sweet crypt
#

Marnie has been dispatched

rugged comet
#

I've used 1 sitrus berry like 5 times

sweet crypt
rugged comet
#

60% chance to not use it

sweet crypt
#

The reason why I remember Incineroar's base speed is because the Alolan Starters are infamously slow, to the point I remember that 2 of them have 60, with Decidueye having 70

#

I remember Scizor's base speed simply because I like Scizor

rugged comet
#

Cinccino is stronger now

#

I got a scope lens

sweet crypt
#

In case you've forgotten because of how much I talked about Scizor, the main carry of this run is Dragonite

#

And I'm 4 levels away

rugged comet
#

also I got 2 healing charms

sweet crypt
#

Dragonite obtained

#

Multiscale Dragon Dance time

#

With a side of Aerilate Extreme Speed

#

Though I'll need some memory mushrooms for those

#

I probably could go SD Extreme Speed instead, or use not Extreme Speed since DD raises speed

#

But having priority is nice in case the opponent boosts their speed as well/I don't have time to boost

#

And I also can't just spam Extreme Speed on everything

rugged comet
#

Perfect

#

Now I need a mushroom

#

what e4 is this?

sweet crypt
#

I think

#

Should be Will, Koga, Bruno and Karen in that order

rugged comet
#

that might be nice

#

tail whip is currently 90% acc

#

my normal type totally sweeps bruno

sweet crypt
#

Bruno's Pokemon tend to have -1 base Defence

#

I can't say I'm surprised

rugged comet
#

he has alolan golem

#

and machamp which survived tail whip

sweet crypt
#

How bulky is Alolem

#

Pretty bulky

#

80/130

#

But bro look at Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

50/79 💀

#

Oh, you thought those were bad? Hitmonlee's are 50/53

rugged comet
#

got the mushroom

sweet crypt
#

Why are they so ass at taking punches to the face

rugged comet
#

karen showed up is basically how her fight went

#

any guesses on the champ

sweet crypt
#

Honestly, most fights aren't difficult in Pokerogue if you know what you're doing

sweet crypt
#

I think it's a 50/50

rugged comet
#

Lance

sweet crypt
#

Aerodactyl having piss poor bulk moment

rugged comet
#

it was tera to rock

#

and I have bullet seed

sweet crypt
#

Bullet Seed was KOing either ways

rugged comet
#

did not expect mega latios

sweet crypt
#

You should outspeed

rugged comet
#

yeah

sweet crypt
#

And probably OHKO, you have Icicle Spear right?

rugged comet
#

one shot all his team so far

rugged comet
#

but tail whip one shot

sweet crypt
#

Don't you mean Tail Slap

rugged comet
#

yeah

#

lance was weak

#

whole team got one shot

#

I took 0 dmg

sweet crypt
#

Congrats, you've found out how 90% of Pokerogue fights go

#

The only time you could feasibly get hit is if you're trying to set up

#

Though, setting up kinda feels like overkill

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Priority too

#

Maybe if you get unlucky you get a bad MU

rugged comet
#

will I 1 shot mega ray

#

probably not

sweet crypt
#

There's Sturdy as well if you aren't using multi hit moves

#

Whenever I chose to invest completely into Scizor all the difficulty in the game tends to disappear

#

So I don't use Scizor as much

#

OHKOing Mega Ray with a 40 BP move is funny

#

That said I usually am at +6 when using that move

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

But that said it's pretty easy to get to +6 on Scizor if your rival didn't bring the Fire starter

rugged comet
#

dang air current

sweet crypt
#

Since you just destroy any Fire Type once you get the SD boost

#

If you have Double Iron Bash on Scizor, use it

#

Before it gets nerfed

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

I have genuinely 0 clue how this is allowed

#

Judging by my biome luck

#

The game REALLY doesn't want me to use Dragonite

rugged comet
#

attempt 2 and wow

#

we tank brave bird

sweet crypt
#

Most of the damage I am taking rn is to Sandstorm in the desert

#

💀

#

Forgot to swap to Scizor for Lusamine

#

Doesn't matter

#

Dnite easily tanks Clefable Dgleam

#

With Multiscale

#

It's like a quarter of my HP

rugged comet
#

honestly

#

Tail slap might do more than icicle spear

sweet crypt
rugged comet
#

stab a 3 silk scarves

sweet crypt
#

35?

rugged comet
#

25

#

all 4 of my moves are

sweet crypt
#

Huh could've sworn it had more than the other multi hit moves

rugged comet
#

yeah I win this

sweet crypt
#

Mainly because it has 85% accuracy

#

And not 100%

rugged comet
#

so close

sweet crypt
#

Hey, why is it not stronger when it has 85% accuracy?

rugged comet
#

I won

#

that is good

sweet crypt
#

Dnite just tanked an Ice Beam Omniboosted Alakazam

#

GOAT

rugged comet
#

the final boss has no idea whats coming

sweet crypt
#

I wonder if Dragonite will be capable of ||tanking Eternabeam||

rugged comet
#

one tail slap

sweet crypt
#

Smh didn't OHKO phase 1

#

Simply should've crit

#

Frfr

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Well, don't I look like an idiot

rugged comet
#

dire hit + scope lens

sweet crypt
#

Might be because I am an idiot actually

rugged comet
#

wow it's so weak

sweet crypt
#

Bro why tf am I getting like 50 fucking metal coats

#

I'm not on my Scizor run anymore game

rugged comet
#

I say as it 1 shots Cinccino

sweet crypt
#

Let Dragonite stand out game ffs

rugged comet
#

I won

#

wait how can i catch it?

#

mball?

sweet crypt
#

Except Eternatus itself

rugged comet
#

ah

sweet crypt
#

It's not as tedious as it sounds

#

I'm like 10 Pokemon away

rugged comet
#

Don't sound too surprised

sweet crypt
#

10
Epic egg: Mew, Regigigas, Victini, Spectrier, Scream Tail, Iron Hands, Iron Boulder (7)
Legendary egg: Groudon, Kyurem, Yveltal (3)

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

A Shiftry used Heat Wave on Scizor

#

But it is raining

#

So Scizor took only a third of its HP

rugged comet
#

Still annoyed at getting that HA

sweet crypt
#

I have Roggenrola's HA

#

Agony

rugged comet
#

also this was the team

#

the mvp

sweet crypt
#

Idk if my easiest run was Electro Shot Kyogre or one of my Msciz+Araquanid runs

#

Or maybe it was Dragon Energy Miraidon

#

But Miraidon lost DEnergy and Kyogre lost Electro Shot

#

So the easiest run I've had that is still possible is one of the Msciz+Araquanid ones

#

I slaughtered an Oricorio for a Baton

#

I can now pass stat boosts

#

Currently, my Scizor outdamages +1 Dragonite

#

Hmm

#

The expert Pokemon breeder forced Lapras to the front, killed it, and now I need to lead Scizor against Ivy

#

As if Dragonite wasn't starved for attention enough

#

This isn't even a Dragonite main carry run anymore man

#

Fuck it I'm sacking Scizor so that I can use Dragonite

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

No, I do want it as a backup

#

But I just don't like how the game is quite literally forcing me to use Scizor instead of Dragonite

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Dragonite has dispatched Lenora without much effort

#

Going to sweep Fairy Cave with a Dragonite

#

Because that'd be hilarious

#

Seems like the only Pokemon that can land a hit here is Carbink

#

Who did, no joke, 60 damage out of my 466 HP

rugged comet
#

Maybe mawile could do better

sweet crypt
#

With Rock Slide btw

sweet crypt
#

Carbink is the only Pokemon who resists Aerilate Espeed + Fire Lash + Dragon Hammer (last one is a given in fairy cave though)

#

Well I say that

#

But I just hammered an Audino into the ground

#

Alright, got Sableye's Mega Stone

#

Sableye is purely for ||Emax Eternatus, with high bulk, Salt Cure, Curse, Recover and Topsy-Turvy||

#

Time to see if Dragonite is as good at sweeping Lusamine as Scizor is

#

Almost got stopped by Unaware Clefable, but Nihilego was feee setup since it was using Head Smash? Primarina, Guzzlord, Necrozma and Pheromosa went down without issue

graceful osprey
#

Ok

#

After getting more information

#

The delivery system though America isn't shutting down

#

Just docks

#

So no oversea products

#

Dunno bout other places

sweet crypt
#

What is the context here

#

This doesn't seem very other pokemon game-y

#

Why is this Solrock level 200 I'm at 176

#

Tate what kind of illegal shit you doing

#

I know you're the mightiest foe but like

#

This is a bit excessive

#

Tate tried to Mirror Coat my Dragon Dances with Wobbuffet, I'm at +6 now

#

It's so over

snow yarrow
#

anyone know any other good pokemon rom hacks

sweet crypt
#

Finally, Liza

#

Only took who knows how many runs

#

Unfortunately, finding Liza was the hardest part

#

Damageless sweep

#

Would've liked a challenge

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

I've seen Tate like

#

20 times

#

That was my first Liza

#

This game sometimes

#

20 might even be a low ball

rugged comet
#

Wish there was a double battle with them

sweet crypt
#

2/4 E4s done

#

Will and Koga were effortless

rugged comet
#

You also got gen 2 E4 neat

sweet crypt
#

Unfortunately, I don't see Bruno being any different

#

I'm using a fucking Multiscale Aerilate Extreme Speed Dragonite

#

Those MFS are already getting effortlessly folded by Scizor Bullet Punch

#

Didn't even have Sturdy on his Golem

#

We're done here

#

Karen's Mabosstiff landed an Outrage to do slightly more than a quarter of my HP

#

Umbreon landed a Baby Doll Eyes after tanking an Extreme Speed

#

But her remaining Pokemon were too frail to make it count

#

Red or Lance?

#

It is Red

#

The exact same story

#

Tank a hit, one shot sweep

#

Even Mega Blastoise couldn't tank a hit

#

Iron Bundle could be dangerous if it attacks me on 196

stray heart
#

Thoughts on this slime?

sweet crypt
#

Silly

stray heart
#

Why is he being stepped on

sweet crypt
#

Do I say "Fuck it we ball" and try to tank a Mega Rayquaza hit?

#

I did

#

And I tanked the hit

stray heart
sweet crypt
stray heart
#

And if it does?

sweet crypt
#

I'm going to a pest exterminator because I don't feel like being eaten alive

#

Dragonite could even tank ||Eternabeam||

#

As expected, it falls easily through the combined combined effort of Dragonite, Scizor and Mega Sableye

#

I even landed a Gmax Lapras Sing on it just for extra salt in the wound

rugged comet
#

Does perish song work on bosses?

sweet crypt
#

I remember trying once and being disappointed so I'm betting no

twilit hazel
wraith musk
stray heart
wraith musk
#

i said dont step

#

buff the pokemon

stray heart
#

Oh

sweet crypt
#

Hey give me an opinion you have on a Pokemon and I'll tell you how hot/cold the take is based off my own experiences (though something I notice is that my experiences are pretty different to others, maybe it's because of different amount of time spent on different social media platforms, idk)

#

Might also give my own opinion if I feel like it

wraith musk
#

need a significant buff legendaries:

articuno

all the og regis

regigigas needs a HA (zacian exists so dont gimme dat)

fix dark void (like srsly smearlge is gone)

melloetta (this things useless)

help out goodra with the poisen type

sweet crypt
#

It's faring pretty well

#

It also depends on how much you want to buff the Pokemon, and for which format

#

So for example if you want the standard for the non box art legendaries to be Singles OU, basically all of them need to be buffed

#

Goodra is not a legendary

#

Honestly, Regidrago and Regieleki also need buffs

#

In a singles sense

wraith musk
#

mostly just make it good in general

uu or ou

#

thats the kind

sweet crypt
#

Regidrago still does

#

Regieleki without Tera is like

#

A UU mon

wraith musk
#

lmao

#

why it banned ?

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

ppl forgot ground type exists

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

it only has acrobatics for coverage

sweet crypt
#

Is that Regieleki is the best Ice type regi

wraith musk
#

and extreme speed

sweet crypt
#

Yes, you heard that right

wraith musk
#

damn

#

tera be wilding'

sweet crypt
#

Darkrai's ass doesn't need a buff

wraith musk
#

his move

#

why is it shit

#

80% acc was its sig

sweet crypt
#

Not like it matters, Darkrai is still good

wraith musk
#

ITS EVEN CODED TO ONLY WORK WITH HIM

#

WHY MAKE IT SHIT

wraith musk
#

only smeargle can also use it

sweet crypt
#

Not quite Ubers worthy anymore, but if we buffed every past Uber to be Ubers, a lot less Pokemon would be playable

wraith musk
#

not counting metronome

wraith musk
#

just fix its acc then

sweet crypt
#

With your criteria of needing a buff being all Legendaries below UU, I decided to list them. I want you to remember that tiering isn't always equal to viability. Mythicals are included.
Gen 9 RU
Azelf

Regigigas
Regirock
Shaymin

Gen 8 RU
Celebi
Gen 8 NU-ZU
Silvally
I cant list Melo-P due to it being "illegal," and tied to base Meloetta for any usage. They should seperate the 2 forms honestly, Melo-P could be quite good.

#

That's a lot of legendaries

sweet crypt
naive timber
#

let me guess pokerogue…

untold hill
#

I don't think they're talking about any pokemon game..

wraith musk
#

you have a lot of passion for this

sweet crypt
#

If you mean what Legendary needs a buff according to supra's criteria, I'm referring to Competitive Pokemon in general, using the latest generations the Pokemon is in. It isn't exactly hard either, I just checked the tiering for the Pokemon on Showdown

wraith musk
#

crazy how insanely scary it looks by just re-arranging stats

#

jeez

#

this is so cool !

sweet crypt
#

🔥

wraith musk
#

now wait for slaking with 255 attack

wraith musk
#

still left 50 spc

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

eh

#

alr

#

just a top Uber thas all

#

or AG

#

depends

sweet crypt
#

Anyways point is "Yo this mon looks scary when you rearrange its stats" is dumb

wraith musk
#

well

#

it was fun

sweet crypt
#

Hey look at this 400 BST Pokemon
Ghost/Dark
As One (Wonder Guard+Magic Guard)
1 HP
199 Attack
0 Defence
0 SpA
0 SpD
200 Speed
Frfr

#

Obviously this is an extreme case, but you get what I mean

wraith musk
#

I mean I just like having fun :]

#

your seeming to have fun too

#

this isn't a job after all

sweet crypt
#

No I'm not I created an abomination and I am afraid of myself

wraith musk
#

btw it would crash the game

#

since a baton passed substitute on said wonder guard would crash the game

sweet crypt
#

I should actually give it -3 Defence and SpD

wraith musk
#

hell ya

sweet crypt
#

Since you can make that overflow to take 0 damage

wraith musk
#

sand stream

sweet crypt
#

1 HP
200 Attack
-3 Defence
0 SpA
-3 SpD
205 speed

wraith musk
#

MOLD BREAKER

sweet crypt
#

Now it outspeeds Regieleki

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

lmao

sweet crypt
#

This has truly been our Pokemon Gotta Catch Them All

wraith musk
#

ah fuck it

make it a held item In battle change

sweet crypt
#

I think I would prefer Dragonite if it resembled Dragonair more

#

It's still an above average Pokemon, just that to me it's a lower tier Pseudo

wraith musk
#

it's awesome looking ngl

#

please give it acrobatics now

sweet crypt
#

Heck, as much as I shittalk Baxcalibur, I'd say that it is at worst about average

wraith musk
#

no flying stab over 60 BP for 20 years must suck

sweet crypt
#

It's just disappointing as all hell

wraith musk
#

lmao

sweet crypt
#

And fails to live up to Pseudo Legend standard in my eyes

#

Because that's a pretty high standard

#

You win some, you lose some

#

Gen 9's roster has a lot of strong points to me, even more so than every other generation, but also has more weak points than average

wraith musk
#

now these look cool !

wraith musk
wraith musk
#

hunch it

#

it's stature it's abnormally straight

#

@sweet crypt what if light orb boosted the whole pikachu line as well ?

alolan raichu
raichu
pichu

#

would it be busted ?

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

LMAO

sweet crypt
#

So the biggest reason people don't use Pikachu despite the immense power is because it is too slow and too frail

wraith musk
#

mhm

sweet crypt
#

While Raichu is still frail, what I'm thinking is that the speed increase would likely make it good

#

That said, when there's literally 0 actual acknowledgement of Light Ball Pikachu existing because of how terrible it is, it's kinda hard to say

wraith musk
#

wait if it's in rain...

Thunder
Grass knot
Surf
nasty plot

for A raichu ig throw in psyshock ?

#

252 spc atck
252 speed

modest

sweet crypt
#

Doesn't learn Rising Voltage in current gen

wraith musk
#

oof

sweet crypt
#

And the only Electric Surge user currently is

#

Pincurchin

#

PINCURCHIN

wraith musk
#

NO WAY

#

what happened to the tapus?

#

new strat

#

pelliper rain teams

sweet crypt
#

There's Miraidon with Hadron Engine but Ubers speed creep is wild, I doubt base Raichu would be fast enough, but Surge Surfer Light Ball A-Raichu could cook if it worked

sweet crypt
#

A bit sad

#

But I mean Tapu Koko with Future Paradoxes kinda sounds miserable ngl

wraith musk
#

shame

wraith musk
#

dex cut in this region is wild ong

rain shellBOT
#

I don't think that's in IF. :thinking: Did you misspell something?

sweet crypt
#

I dont mind the dex cut too much

wraith musk
#

it's kind of annoying tho

#

the recovery move pp slaughter was kind of unexpected

sweet crypt
#

I'm far more annoyed with some of the move cuts

wraith musk
#

also finally fixed toxic as a tm

wraith musk
sweet crypt
#

Wdym Moltres, Ho-Oh, Gliscor, Torn-T, Lando-T etc can't defog now

#

People complain about Gholdengo but really I think the Defog move cut is a massive contributor as well

wraith musk
#

they got tired of flapping wings/arms

#

yeah fs

sweet crypt
#

People would probably mind Gholdengo a lot less if they had Lando-T with Defog

#

Alongside others

#

Also, Gamefreak really went after Ho-Oh with their move cuts

#

I am glad to report that Gamefreak's efforts did not invalidate Ho-Oh and it is a top tier pick in Ubers

#

Alright, here's a social experiment for you guys

#

What are your opinions on Gigalith?

#

Stuff like how much you like/dislike it, maybe some reasonings, and perhaps comparisons with Pokemon you think are similar in one way or the other

#

Personally, Gigalith is one of my favourite Pokemon, being one of the (admittedly high number of) Pokemon tied for 5th place

#

Reason: Idk it looks extremely fucking cool

#

I think that's a pretty good reason

#

The biggest complaint I had is evolution method

#

I HATE TRADE EVOLUTIONS I HATE TRADE EVOLUTIONS I HATE TRADE EVOLUTIONS

#

You don't know how long I tried to evolve Boldore for

#

Comparing to the Gen 1 mon that it was likely meant to mirror, it is leagues better than mf Golem lmao

wraith musk
#

see ppl like me

#

action replay

#

for the greater good

sweet crypt
#

Golem is kinda mid ngl

wraith musk
#

very

#

if only gigalith were a special attacker

#

and a ground type

sweet crypt
#

If you think Golem is better than Gigalith I will think less of you (/j)

wraith musk
#

I don't lmao

#

golem is a lizard
machamp is a duck dude

#

but everyone knows why now

sweet crypt
#

Despite comparisons to Golem, I think the Pokemon it resembles the most in terms of design is Metagross

sweet crypt
#

They're both quadrepedal, with their limbs in similar places, presumably walking in the same way, and made of minerals, one of rock and one of metal

#

They both also look a bit robotic

wraith musk
#

oh that ways sure

sweet crypt
#

Idk how to explain it for Gigalith

#

But like Metagross should be obvious

wraith musk
#

so ferrothorn count here or

sweet crypt
wraith musk
#

also wanna hear something insane ?

sweet crypt
#

Ferrothorn is another Pokemon I rank very highly

wraith musk
#

ferro BST is fairly low

#

could give it an evo

I'm not even sure if Ferrothorn would be better than the evo with Eviolite

wraith musk
#

dear god

sweet crypt
#

Because the one thing I've learnt about Eviolite is that it is a fraudulent item

#

There is like maybe 1 situation in newer gens to use an eviolite NFE over its evolution in Singles

sweet crypt
#

And that's Dusclops vs Dusknoir, which is very much "Trash vs Garbage" type situation

fucking JUDGEMENT

sweet crypt

No that's referring to the most obvious shitpost in the world

wraith musk
#

welp

sweet crypt
#

You really think someone in their right mind would give Ferrothorn Toxapex tier defences, actually good HP, Regenerator, Flash Fire, Sleep Powder, Protect+Leech Seed in 1 slot, U-Turn, Trick Room, Pursuit, Wicked Blow, Surging Strikes, Recover and Judgement in 1 serious post or what?

wraith musk
#

I know it's not serious

#

it's also a shite post

sweet crypt
#

Honestly giving it Recover alone might already be shitpost territory

#

That's such a shit idea

wraith musk

Why even have judgement

ah yes the 3 ferros shall judge you

Gigalith is giga peak

If you dislike Gigalith, you better also dislike Metagross and have a good reason otherwise I will judge you for bad opinion (/hj)

i see he successfully Broke Script this time, though not for long apparently lol

rugged comet
#

its dead

unkempt egret
#

oh yea it basically as slightly worse multiscale (only slightly because tinted lens can semi-ignore it I think?)

sweet crypt
#

Multiscale halves damage, Tera Shell turns all moves resisted

unkempt egret
#

it might be? I know it makes it so that you resist the first hit at full health (so .5x damage) so functionally the same as multiscale (also .5x damage)

rugged comet
#

I'm coming for you ||Mega ray||

sweet crypt
#

So for example, let's say you use a Fighting move on Terapagos

unkempt egret
#

but yea in most cases they're basically interchangable. still a fantastic ability tho

rugged comet
#

3/4 health bars

sweet crypt
#

That fighting move is doing a quarter of the damage

rugged comet
#

and I dodge

sweet crypt
#

It also doesn't remove the ghost immunity while doing so

unkempt egret
#

oh yea and with fighting moves specifically there's that interaction

sweet crypt
#

It's not as big on Terapagos, since it is a Normal type

#

But it'd be massive on something like Dragonite

rugged comet
#

team after rival fight

sweet crypt
#

Where it is suddenly taking 8 times less damage from Ice moves

#

TLDR: Always better, but how much better depends on the Pokemon

#

Doing a run with Speed Boost Quiver Dance Grubbin

unkempt egret

lol

sweet crypt
#

Will the 50 thousand speed boosting methods on Vikavolt make its speed any less miserable?

#

Only one way to find out

unkempt egret
#

taking vikavolt's dex entry to heart

meanwhile my team's done EV training so time to hop back into sun/moon

Lvl 22 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Tail vs. Lvl 22 132 HP 1 IVs / 126 Def 15 IVs Salazzle: 116-138 (168.1 - 200%) -- guaranteed OHKO

#

that calc pretty much sums up today in S/M since if the game just gives me an adamant marill I may as well punish it for that.

#

(totem IV/EV spreads are so jank rofl)

rugged comet

and it's basically dead

ah right i found this twice last run

sweet crypt
#

Oh neat a blue shiny Luvdisc

#

It's literally just luck fodder

#

But I'll take it

rugged comet
#

Should I use az's Floette or normal flabébé

unkempt egret
#

both are decent?

sweet crypt
unkempt egret
#

Az's works better if you have it fully set up while normal is probably better if you don't have many unlocks for it

#

(if something has magic guard as a passive then at least two of those egg moves are probably going to be recoil rofl)

#

also I like how I see bug in the rare slot and just assume it's ||quiver dance||

sweet crypt
unkempt egret
#

that's the one I do have unlocked so I can if you want

#

otherwise I'll refrain

sweet crypt
#

I have a bad feeling that, given it has Magic Guard, that Fire move is gonna be Mind Blown

unkempt egret
#

||that would be correct.||

#

||grass I'm willing to guess is like a 50/50 shot of either seed flare or chloroblast, not sure||

#

don't know any other super strong grass special moves

sweet crypt
#

Blacephalon also has Magic Guard

#

I think it gets Light of Ruin as well...

#

But I'm not sure on that

unkempt egret
#

I forget if I saw light of ruin when I was using Azette or if I skipped it in favor of moonblast

sweet crypt
#

Cultural exchange with AZ's Floette ig

#

I wonder if Hisuian Electrode gets Magic Guard, Mind Blown and Light of Ruin

#

Or did Blacephalon and AZ's Floette just rob Hisuian Electrode after pushing it down a flight of stairs

#

Do I give Baton Pass to my Charjabug while sacrificing an offensive move slot?

#

My other 2 Pokemon are Frogadier and Metang, only Frogadier appreciates QD boosts but both like Speed boosts

#

Nah, I'll just beat up an Oricorio later

#

Thunder Stone obtained

#

Charjabug is now a Vikavolt

rugged comet
#

Oh yeah these are the Iv's of them

#

I always forget to check

sweet crypt
#

And right after, Frogadier evolves into Greninja

rugged comet
#

Also this was my mono Ice team

sweet crypt
#

What ability did you have on Mamoswine?

rugged comet
#

snow cloak

#

I caught it randomly

sweet crypt
#

Did Snow Cloak come in clutch at all during the run?

rugged comet
#

On ninetales yes

#

Mamoswine was just kind of there

#

Same with the crab

sweet crypt
#

Nothing like sweeping Brock with an Electric/Bug type

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

YO I GOT MAGICAL TORQUE ON TAPU KOKO W

#

Vikavolt gets guillotine, which implies its mandibles are sharp enough to behead people

#

Why then, is Attack its 2nd worst stat

#

I mean it's nice that it is its 2nd worst stat

#

Nobody likes slow frail mixed attackers

#

But like in terms of logic it doesn't really make sense

#

Which I'm sure some people will be complaining about heavily

#

Ivy really just kept Greninja in on Vikavolt

rugged comet
#

not good for my fairy pokemon

#

If I didn't have

Ig final boss might be an issue but I've set up on it with a Fairy type before

So you're probably fine

fairy run I did was uuuh

rugged comet
unkempt egret
#

Azette, mega mawile, azumarill, I'd need to check the other three

there we go here's what it was

#

I believe floette, whimsicott, and mimikyu were the starts, mawile and azumarill were both in an early fairy cave and dachsbun was on wave like 5 or 6 rofl

sweet crypt
#

I think I've only done Mono Bug for monotype runs

#

But I have done Gen 5 only as well for challenge runs

#

My Gen 5 only run was ages ago though

#

Mono Bug was Scizor and Araquanid, and then a bunch of cheaper Pokemon to assist for specifically the final boss since I realised I lacked options for it

my only successful monotype so far was normal and i think that says more abt the variety and usefulness of certain normal types tbh

now that i think abt it, mono norm is the easiest, simply due to both the variety of dual types(tho most are various birds) and the variety of available coverage

I hate this

rugged comet

#

Togekiss could save

sweet crypt
#

So far the issues I've had with this run is

  • Shit luck
  • Greninja having at best average SpA
#

I mean sure Ash Greninja hits like a freight train but it's not very easy KOing something with base Greninja

#

I don't have Protean yet btw

#

So I can't fix the issue of low initial damage

#

Ivy is using Drought Torkoal with her own Greninja

#

Hmm

rugged comet
#

3/3 for phione from manphy eggs

sweet crypt
#

Shit, Ivy got Florges

#

That's gonna be annoying for Vikavolt to break through, even with its 145 SpA

#

And seems like she rolled Glitzy Glow

#

So she can get Light Screen up while doing non negligible damage

#

Not great

rugged comet
#

Real tank right there

sweet crypt
#

I love how my Metagross walls Mamoswine because it has Levitate as the passive

#

Now that I think about it, that's 2 of my Pokemon that get Levitate

Out of 3

she had mudkip then changed to charmeleon
