Im pretty sure the first one is your only viable option
you're still gonna thoroughly go through it regardless

Hp and sp attack?
HP and special defense, tox is a wall
proven geyser
tox has 63 and 53 attacks, you are batshit(neutral) if you try to run it as an attacker
proven geyser
may as well be using ledian
tox is very f a t and really really loves having HP, Def, and SpDef investment
building an OU pex, ppl tend to invest defenses depending on what they want it to wall, it leans phys but invest enough special and they can equal out
proven geyser
eh, still
proven geyser
yeah no you need strat and not brainless button mashing

night time has less encounters that aren't eevee, so there's a chance my shiny might be umbreon, like this one on call 31 would've been

i also would like my trans flag creature

Did anyone here die in legends arceus
Aside from fall damage
That doesn't count
I think my first playthrough I died to an alpha or two

Am I correct in assuming Shinx is a shiny boosted pokemon?

I'm not sure? I know absol and chansey are for current event mons

Got annoyed so much by the stupid meme stating in an objective manner that Lucario and Heracross are the 1st and 2nd best Fighting types respectively that I checked my tierlist to list off all the Fighting types above them, ranked
I've seen it so many times
Having an opinion is nice
But I don't like people shoving their opinions down other people's throats, including my own
Ik it's a meme and all but like
Having people repost it alongside the caption "so true holy shit" or a derivative of that is like
Very annoying
simple quartz
Best in what, IF?
coarse estuary
But I don't like people shoving their opinions down other people's throats, incl...
its especially bad when people try to shove an opinion on if you should like a game or not and if you like something they dont or dont like something they do you should be jailed or something. like i remember someoene who was trying to get be banned from another server im in for saying gen 5 is my favorite gen
simple quartz
Cuz it's kind of true 
sweet crypt
Best in what, IF?
No, just straight favourites
sweet crypt
AFAIK, nothing to do with battling prowess or anything
But if it was, that'd make them wrong²
simple quartz
The ignorance of saying that while Pawmot Bewear Scraggy and Medicham is right there
sweet crypt
I will say, they do rank pretty decently high, but like, definitely not 1st and 2nd, and even if they did, it'd still feel wrong if I were to try to tell someone that these 2 are the objective best fighting types
simple quartz
It's hard to numerically rank what is best Fighting type overall anyway considering they're all aces
Dare I say
sweet crypt
Opinions can't be objective, it's as simple as that
simple quartz
Even Crabominable, and I love that creature
sweet crypt
If you wanted an objective best Fighting type, Koraidon, end of story
Well for Singles
Idk much about VGC
My brain is no worky I use the wrong word :(
vernal garnet
Am I correct in assuming Shinx is a shiny boosted pokemon?
P sure they are permanently shiny boosted
unkempt egret
opinions can be subjective though
also Isn't marshadow in Ubers for singles?
(er, gen 8 ubers, I think it's Koraidon in gen 9)
sweet crypt
also Isn't marshadow in Ubers for singles?
Yes, and it's great in Ubers
Hence why I say it'd be an objective 2nd best
sweet crypt
opinions can be _subjective_ though
Yup, so if someone doesn't try to force an opinion onto me, I'll respect it
Marshadow's STAB combo is nearly unresisted, and I'm pretty sure the exception is like Hisuian Zoroark, which is frail
Marshadow does struggle with power, so having this godsend of a STAB combo is very important
125 without a universal boosting ability is dire for Ubers standards, but the STAB combo is just that good
unkempt egret
there is technician but that locks you at 90 base power basically
and I forget if it's even used since I generally think of spectral thief and drain punch on it
sweet crypt
I think Technician is important on Shadow Sneak and Rock Tomb specifically
Rock Tomb is for Ho-Oh
unkempt egret
ah I can see that yea
sweet crypt
To bring up the Smogon viability rankings, Marshadow places at S- in Gen 9 NatDex Ubers and A+ in Gen 8 Ubers
Despite the low 125 Attack for Ubers standards
It often runs a damage boosting item, like Life Orb, Choice Band or Spell Tag
And usually has to go for high damage moves, which means that it may sometimes run Poltergeist over Spectral Thief, and sometimes runs both
As well as running Low Kick over Close Combat despite Low Kick being a bit inconsistent, simply for the 30 BP difference at Low Kick's peak
But I'm going off on a tangent
All I'm doing at this point is explaining why Marshadow is the 2nd best Fighting type objectively, instead of explaining why I personally wouldn't have Lucario or Heracross as my 1st or 2nd best Fighting types subjectively
Though tbf, all I'd be able to say is that I think they're cool, but I don't have personal attachment to them unlike some of the higher tiers and/or prefer higher tiered Pokemon's designs
I will say, I was a bit annoyed by Heracross once because I wanted to make a fakemon concept based on a scarab beetle before remembering both Rabsca and Heracross existed
But that didn't change the tier placement for either

to late for that already finished it and it was painful

im slightly convinced they shiny locked starters by 3D games not bc of overworld model inconsistency, but because they want players to not sit there SRing and play the fucking game

I'm convinced ev boosting items and mints are just pokemon drugs
unkempt egret
then in gen 9 where the situation it was preventing couldn't happen twofold they were like "ok you can go back now"
graceful osprey
I do like how they made patches one way only in gen 8 **specifically** for macha...
?
unkempt egret
then pokemon masters added that exact scenario in as a joke
machamp having both fissure (gen 1 import only, forced to have hidden ability) + no guard (one of its regular abilities)
graceful osprey
God forbid my ohko misses
unkempt egret
did a lot of hoop jumping in gens 7/8 to prevent that lol
graceful osprey
Ok yea
unkempt egret
(I think the ones that used a never-miss move + OHKO move were kept since that was two-turn and I think got negated by switching)
flint lagoon
that reminds me, someone asked if no guard allows the Pokemon to hit through wonder guard
unkempt egret
I think in theory it could but shedinja isn't weak to any of them
graceful osprey
12.5
flint lagoon
eevee has the same female chance as the starters
unkempt egret
kinda like how fire fang could pierce it regardless of type in gen 4 but it didn't matter outside of hacks since shedinja was already weak to it anyway
graceful osprey
Summon your allies dickhead
unkempt egret
if it's colo specifically I think both of the starters are forced male (so you couldn't get eevee and the kanto eeveelutions before FRLG came out)
flint lagoon
they were
flint lagoon
I miss the Orre region
graceful osprey
NOOOOOOOOOO
unkempt egret
you can have it be female in XD though at the usual rate, probably because FRLG was out at that point
graceful osprey
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
flint lagoon
chain gone?
graceful osprey
Yea
flint lagoon
oof
unkempt egret
also late but speaking of the "EVs = drugs" thing... they kinda are actually!
unkempt egret
I dunno about the items that influence EVs like the power items or the macho brace but the actual vitamins I think are perscription drungs in japanese? it's something along those lines
graceful osprey
Get steong
unkempt egret
no clue as to the feathers though
flint lagoon
funny thing someone pointed out in the comments of someone's scarlet/violet playthrough was how Herba Mystica = HM
graceful osprey
The feathers were they to make the bridges not feel useless in gen 5
unkempt egret
once you get the duck anyway
flint lagoon
yea
flint lagoon
there was that one town though
graceful osprey
Back to the honey
graceful osprey
Pain

I'd like to think they put the 3% chance there as the biggest fuck you
proven geyser
Defeated Pokémon - 5+ - 1 IV of 31 Guaranteed
Defeated Pokémon - 10+ - 5% Chance...
it's 70+
proven geyser
wait wtf
graceful osprey
proven geyser
wait the sun and moon page says 70
proven geyser
what the fuck they bumped it down to 30 in usum
graceful osprey
Who do you sos
proven geyser
i went over odds with eevee i'm gonna minecraft
and didn't even get the fucking eevee
graceful osprey
Don't feel bad
I was at 65 earlier
Then got an umbreon
No fun allowed
Oh
Ok
You just
Don't sos
Reset time
proven geyser
i strongly recommend looking up the gen 7 page of the mon you're hunting on serebii
some pokemon don't call at all
graceful osprey
Yea
I was curious about umbreon
It ruined my like
20 streak
So I tried it
I was resetting anyways
proven geyser
no?\
graceful osprey
what
proven geyser
that's pokeradar
the chain doesn't reset in usum
assuming you don't try to use a pokemon that doesn't call when swapping targets
i killed like 10 happiny before my shiny pichu(literally got her after the 10th) and a few pikachu
and the pichu had the number of max ivs consistent with the chain count
proven geyser
i was scrolling from latest to recent message and it seems like a DPPt/BDSP player was feeding bad info
significantly easier
graceful osprey
No
Just old info
To be fair
It's a 50/50 if they changed something or not between sm and usum
I also don't have the shiny charm
Amd never will
proven geyser
chances are it's a quality of life change
graceful osprey
Cause Nintendo is stupid
graceful osprey
Nintendo loves getting bad publicity
Yknow what be fucking hillaorus
If the lawsuit for palworld flops and legends za does horribly
They 100% deserve it
Hang on
Lemme find it
proven geyser
i think everyone knows about the lawsuit
proven geyser
if they wanted to sue palworld, they should have done it before they swapped the stolen model assets
graceful osprey
I love how steel fighting feels both great and awful for a typing
To be fair
Anything steel feels really good
proven geyser
real
playing pokemon cafe remix while watching astralspiff play "Still wakes the deep" to offset the creeping horror style
former is a super cute game
graceful osprey
So question
If a shiny shows up for the sos
Does it play the shiny effect and sound
Or do they juat
Appear
graceful osprey
I've killed so many eevee
I feel so evil
Eevees are going to go extinct
What
The chain resets a 255
I wonder why
proven geyser
- there's a sparkle after a second of the game thinking
- unless the game mentions a reset, it did not
graceful osprey
Ok cool
thank god tapu koko can learn false swipe
It sucks
Cause I know the shiny isn't going to be female
And I'm going to be depression
Welp
I'm gunna listen to music
Turns out the same soundtrack for like a hour straight gets annoying
proven geyser
yeah i don't hunt with sound on because i don't hate myself
also you can turn off battle animations in settings
graceful osprey
also you can turn off battle animations in settings
ah
Wait
How am I gunna catch it
proven geyser
pokeballs
proven geyser
if you use thunder wave or put it t sleep it-
graceful osprey
proven geyser
eh, just get lucky ig
graceful osprey
The one time I leave my raichu at home
proven geyser
lmao
graceful osprey
It's help didn't aooear
Wow
Oh
It's day time
What
Why is it daytime
Right
I did set it to 12
Like 10 hours ago
Honesty
Building pokemon is more enjoyable is usum
unbuilding them however
Makes me want to die
I'm getting bored
Do I play some fighterz.....
Maybe some bayonetta
Beating things up would make me feel better
Right
There is someone who tells me
I thi k I was at
61 sos before this?
Let's just say that
After I run out of pp items I'll go check
Woe
3 hidden abilities in a row
All 3 murdered by aura sphere
I mean
They fainted
Family friendly
I refuse to belive any pokemon hitbwith a Z move that's not a legendary doesn't just die
You cannot convince me that a pichu is surviving continental crusher
It is becoming paste
Stop getting ghosted
How do people do this casually
This is making me lose my mind
UH
This isn't supposed to happen
graceful osprey
Called it
And you die out of spite
Ok
Spite is gone
Yea I really killed it

wraith musk

there's no backup system

yeah
THAT WAS CATCHABLE
AND THERES NO WAY TO USE BACKUP
untold hill
remember that mewtwo with 6 health bars I killed ?
I genuinely don’t remember 💀
Show me pic
Oh the old gen 1?
You killed it with mew iirc
Sucks that its not catchable bruh
wraith musk

IT SHOWED UP AS A FURY BATTLE

@untold hill I NEED UR HELP
||POKEMON VANGUARD I BEAT THE GRUNT AT SOUTEN 3 TIMES AND RYLAS FUCKING KILLS HIM ?||
||IS IT OPTIONAL TO LOSE ?||
||LIKE WTF||
sweet crypt
||POKEMON VANGUARD I BEAT THE GRUNT AT SOUTEN 3 TIMES AND RYLAS FUCKING KILLS HI...
||No dw the grunt is supposed to fucking die, then some random divine intervention rewinds time or something. It's probably not Dialga but that won't stop me from joking about it being Dialga||
untold hill
||IS IT OPTIONAL TO LOSE ?||
Idk but, just keep beating him
untold hill
Yeah, that’s why I said idk if it’s optional to lose
wraith musk
||No dw the grunt is supposed to fucking die, then some random divine interventi...
anyways it happened
kinda lame but
hey ho
untold hill
Also at some point difficulty gets hard if you’re on a VERY outdated version
wraith musk
wait a min am i-
sweet crypt
Idk if losing is an option but I sure as hell didn't treat it as one, so I just ||curbstomped the grunt until Rylas got bored of watching me kill his Pokemon and killed the grunt instead||
wraith musk
ik i alr got past that
sweet crypt
Tip: ||Even if Grass/Flying is a terrible type, you may want to catch that regional pidgey anyways. It'll pay off.||
delicate hollow
Hot take:
Ever Grande city is NOT a real fully functional city it's just a large island on a mountain with 2 important buildings and a final dungeon
sweet crypt
||If you already have the regional pidgey, good!||
simple quartz
Tip: ||Even if Grass/Flying is a terrible type, you may want to catch that regio...
HEY GRASS ISN'T A TERRIBLE TYPE
sweet crypt
HEY GRASS ISN'T A TERRIBLE TYPE
I only said Grass/Flying was terrible
Tbf a lot of monotypes are pretty bad in comparison to dual types
So like
simple quartz
It's okay
Grass is honestly a downside when typed with any other good type I feel
Even Steel
sweet crypt
Idk though, Grass/Flying is pretty damn bad
sweet crypt
Nah, Grass/Steel is GOATed
simple quartz
Yeah but it feels like Steel hardcarried the type
Eh well its what it is
I will not rest until Water gets nerfed
sweet crypt
Imo Grass/Poison is better defensively than pure Poison, and Poison's a pretty good defensive type
Definitely debatable though
Grass is definitely under average
sweet crypt
Not like shit tier though
simple quartz
Yeah that's Psychic
Most carried type in the game because of all the legendaries and mythicals
sweet crypt
I wish Psychic wasn't so bad
Psychic needs a buff (preferably to put it as a B-A tier type, but I'd take a C tier)
untold hill
Tip: ||Even if Grass/Flying is a terrible type, you may want to catch that regio...
True
untold hill
Pretty sure you are but it depends on HOW old
wraith musk
all the sprites look like theyre the same as og but slightly modified

And once again I'm here thinking about how much I wish I had some pokemon irl
Sleep is a very cute game with a very interesting dex

This game gives some new interpretations to well known behaviors too
It just wants friends
...It probably just doesn't know it needs to take them back home after they're done playing
warm rose
What pokeball would fit with shiny regigigas
warm rose
I dont really have a lot
proper iris
You can try the heal ball
And when in doubt, premier and luxury fit almost everything
They're just very aesthetically pleasing in general
proper iris
its made clear they drag em to afterlife
Now imagine them trying to drag a plushie to the afterlife.
wraith musk
LMAO
proper iris
No matter if they're a lonely buddy or a psychopomp, either way you get a cute mental image
wraith musk
this little shit's soul wont come out
warm rose
And when in doubt, premier and luxury fit almost everything
Ehh i dont like to use those for most shinies
For shiny legendaries I want the pokeball to match the pokemon
Like dive ball for shiny suicune
proper iris
In that case, other than the master ball, I'd say heal ball
Dream ball would match but please don't use it
warm rose
Btw to get shiny regigigas i just go to the den and reset the game till it shines right?
proper iris
But I'll say premier or dive for regice
