Electro shot kyogre huh?

[sweet crypt]

I know they already removed Dragon Energy but it wasn't enough

[mighty thunder]

Ray gets dragon energy though

[sweet crypt]

Removed iirc

[mighty thunder]

😦

[sweet crypt]

A lot of mons with Dragon Energy had it removed, like Reshiram

Reshiram run was easier than Rayquaza run btw

[mighty thunder]

Fair

[sweet crypt]

I did it when it still had Dragon Energy

And that with Eruption went so fucking hard

I'd say Zekrom run was about as easy as Rayquaza

Bolt Beak 💀

[mighty thunder]

Damn

[sweet crypt]

I dont have much unlocked on these legends tbf

Like 1-2 egg moves

Maybe a passive

Maybe a cost down

[mighty thunder]

Wait do you have a save file with eternatus and a masterball?

[sweet crypt]

No, but I've heard Eternatus was set to have 255 catch rate

I'm not too concerned

Besides, bro is at the end of every single run

And I can consistently get there

[mighty thunder]

Masterball is to catch it without the pain of weakening it

Ik about master hands stupidly easy catch rate

[sweet crypt]

Fair, I could see myself accidentally killing it

I've done a Giratina run, I'm pretty sure it tanked a few Dragon moves from Eternatus partially thanks to Recover

[north crow]

youre guaranteed to catch it

if you have every mon iirc

[sweet crypt]

Big Stall

[north crow]

i wish I could start over in pokerogue

[sweet crypt]

I've done a Lugia run that was pretty damn easy, which shocked me

[north crow]

i completed literally everything there was to do a while back

[sweet crypt]

Part of it is the fact that my Lugia is fucking stacked

[mighty thunder]

Yeah calm mind go brrrr

[sweet crypt]

I've caught a lot of Lugias, and hatched a lot too

[north crow]

every hidden ability, every shiny

[mighty thunder]

I only beat it when my lugia had take heart

[north crow]

but it aint fun now ;;

[sweet crypt]

I even got Lugia's HA

[north crow]

the balancing is a lil out of wack with some of their replacement HAs

[sweet crypt]

And Multiscale is Multiscale

[north crow]

i miss huge power tinkaton

[sweet crypt]

I also did a Koraidon run it was also very strong

[north crow]

it wasnt that broken

[sweet crypt]

Those are all the legendary egg legendaries I've done a run with

[north crow]

just yknow

completely counters eternamax

[sweet crypt]

I've also done a lot of Lunala runs back when Cosmog still had Quiver Dance

It was a struggle to actually evolve Cosmoem into Lunala

[north crow]

oof yea

[sweet crypt]

But every single time I did, I just fucking steamrolled the entire rest of the game with negative difficulty

Currently Cosmog's probably not worth even as a 4 cost

It's sad to see

[sweet crypt]

It costs 7 btw lmao

[north crow]

its 4 now?

oh

7?

[sweet crypt]

Oh wait I accidentally skipped a few legendary egg mons I did runs with

[north crow]

iv lowered everything by an absurd degree so i dont know the base costs anymore

[mighty thunder]

It’s technically a legendary

[sweet crypt]

Zygarde with Huge Power and reliable recovery
Bottom Text

[sweet crypt]

Type Null is too

But it costs 5 and comes from rare eggs

[north crow]

i forgot its a legendary

ngl

[sweet crypt]

And I'd much rather use Type Null in the current state Cosmog is in

[mighty thunder]

Remembers zygarde has a mid 100 base attack in big boi form

[sweet crypt]

Lunala and Solgaleo get treated so terribly compared to the other box arts

[sweet crypt]

Huge Power makes that a lot stronger

[mighty thunder]

True

[sweet crypt]

And besides, I'm spamming Coil and Heal Order

Even if I didn't hit like a train I'm not exactly in danger of dying

[mighty thunder]

Fair

Unless stray ice move

[sweet crypt]

The biggest problem was even becoming Zygarde Complete in the first place

Unless I got hit by an ice move that just didn't happen

Xerneas run was pretty fun but I didn't really have any good egg moves on it so I can skip it

Xerneas was as broken as it usually is

I did a Necrozma run both before and after Ultra Necrozma was added

[mighty thunder]

Geomancy go brrr

[sweet crypt]

Ultra Necrozma is probably worse than Dusk Mane with the set I was going for

But it was still very good

Though ofc I swapped back to Dusk Mane for final boss

[mighty thunder]

Dusk mane is great for eternatus

[sweet crypt]

I also did a Zamazenta run before they removed Victory Dance from it

[mighty thunder]

Just watch out for flamethrower

[sweet crypt]

It went just as how one would expect

Complete and utter annihilation

[mighty thunder]

When did zama have victory dance?

[sweet crypt]

I even had Slack Off

[sweet crypt]

Quite a while back

Diamond Storm replaced it as the rare egg move

Calyrex runs are extremely predictable

If you don't have a rein of unity, you are fucking dying inside

If you do, congrats, you already won

[mighty thunder]

Ye calyrex base is shit

[sweet crypt]

I think my favourite of the epic egg Pokemon in their current state is either Blacephalon or Marshadow

One has a 180 BP coverage move and the other has Magic Guard 150 BP STAB and Coverage

I wonder why I found these runs fun

Can't imagine

My favourite recent run was probably Simple Phione

I fucking love Simple

I also had Quiver Dance as a rare egg move

[mighty thunder]

phione viable (impossible)

[sweet crypt]

Simple Quiver Dance carries Phione so hard it's hilarious

I've also used Simple Venomoth

This time, carried by 2 insane abilities instead of one

[lost osprey]

@upbeat notch looked like bd/sp to me

[upbeat notch]

found it, someone replied in #spriter-general

[delicate hollow]

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of Sword and Shield how time flies November 15th

[naive timber]

crazy and sword and shield had such crazy graphics

[sweet crypt]

I will say, for being just some really old/new lizards, Koraidon and Miraidon sure as hell look a lot more legendary than Pokemon like Dialga and Palkia

I'm not the biggest fan of their base designs

Origin Palkia goes hard though

[sweet crypt]

(I say this but I still have them at like A tier area, it's more so comparatively to other box arts)

[brisk hedge]

I’m not the biggest fan of the fact that Palkia’s a water type

Yes, I know WHY it’s a water type, but it’s still stupid

[dull crow]

I hate origin palkia

[tight granite]

i dont agree at all

[sweet crypt]

I can see Dialga being seen as more legendary looking, but I just think that out of the box arts, Palkia definitely is one of the least appealing. Still looks like a legendary, as all the box art legendaries do, but nowhere near as much as the others

I will die on this hill

As well as the hill that Origin Palkia is a great form and far better than base Palkia

Origin Palkia is an S tier imo

[tight granite]

Palkia is my fav, well after Leg Version Giratina

Flying Giratina kinda ass

[sweet crypt]

But yeah do keep in mind I do still like base Palkia

[toxic mist]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-wait-what-gif-9000717621307637538

[sweet crypt]

I just think that it's my least favourite box art legendary

[toxic mist]

You don’t like origin form Giratina?

[sweet crypt]

It's like a low A tier competing with high A and S tiers

Maybe high B tier idk

See, there's a very good reason why these mfs are on the box arts

[unkempt egret]

I forget is origin palkia the one that's basically just a BoTW Lynel but palkia-adjacent

[north crow]

its the one thats trying to mimic arceus, yes

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/palkia-pokemon-pokemon-legends-arcues-origin-form-pokemon-palkia-gif-3400881863717847729

I’m just now realizing it looks kind of like a centaur

[north crow]

well yeah

it is one

[sweet crypt]

Centaur Palkia is peak

I do not give a flying fuck that it has no arms, is quadrapedal, is a centaur, has a new tail etc

Like a lot of complaints I see for it sound like people just want Palkia but again

Like just copy paste Palkia

Add like a few small extras

Bam done

That's what it feels like looking at mf YouTube comments

Maybe that's because YouTube commenters are mildly insane

[brisk hedge]

I wanted it to better represent liquids like origin Giratina better represents gases

[sweet crypt]

So turn it into a cat

Everyone knows cats are liquid

Cat palkia would actually be kinda fucking hilarious though ngl

Wouldn't be quite the same as centaur palkia but it'd be peak comedy

All the buildup and then it's a small cat

[brisk hedge]

But no, let’s just make it a water type with literally zero design elements or lore that have anything to do with water

[north crow]

its also trying to mimic it's creator

[pine ingot]

Why does enamorus-t look like a soft shell turtle with lipstick

[north crow]

it is getting as close to god as it physically can

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-wynaut-happy-jump-gif-17071241

[sweet crypt]

The turtle thing can be explained by looking at a bunch of Japanese lore and shit

[north crow]

hence the rings around it's torso and the centaur look

[sweet crypt]

The lipstick, they kinda just wanted a feminine force of nature

Idk was the Japanese lore thing related to femininity

[north crow]

do we have a mother nature pokemon that isnt like... xerneas

[sweet crypt]

I only know it's based on Japanese lore idk what the Japanese lore is

[brisk hedge]

Apparently they didn’t learn their lesson with Gardevoir

[pine ingot]

Its looks alone sure are a force of nature

[sweet crypt]

Something something Pokemon Pearl idfk

It's the game name guys!!!

[sweet crypt]

Yeah no Palkia's type is definitely bizarre even with the states of matter theories and the "Pokemon Pearl!!!!" Stuff

But I don't complain because Water/Dragon is a good type

[brisk hedge]

And yet Solgaleo, the mascot of Pokémon sun version isn’t a fire type

[sweet crypt]

The other type it could get I'd Psychic/Dragon

Ugh

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/spock-dazzling-display-logic-star-trek-gif-16343803

[sweet crypt]

Disgusting

Competitively at least

Concept wise it's cool

But like bro why is Psychic so ass in battle

[sweet crypt]

The same reason why the mascot of Pokemon Moon isn't a Fairy type

With shit like Moonblast and Moonlight

AKA Alchemy

... Or something like that

Ig light in a broad term is seen as a Psychic thing

But idk Moonlight is a fairy move

And Morning Sun is a normal move... Solgaleo Normal/Steel type???

[brisk hedge]

Light doesn’t really have a type

[sweet crypt]

It doesn't

[north crow]

keep it that way

[sweet crypt]

But it is generally associated with Psychic due to many light based Pokemon being Psychic type

[north crow]

we dont need sound or light type lol

[brisk hedge]

Morning Sun should 100% be fire type

[sweet crypt]

Even back in Gen 3, Eon Twins do at least somewhat center around light

And are apparently based around beings of light or something

And they're Psychic/Dragon

Though it's probably more because of being some emotion sensing empaths or something idk

[north crow]

^

[sweet crypt]

They kinda have a lot of powers that associate with light

[brisk hedge]

The only time they’ve added new types is to counter other broken types

[north crow]

yea

[sweet crypt]

Heck, Latios has a light move named Luster Purge that is very clearly by name and animation light based

[north crow]

thats why fairy was added

[sweet crypt]

Psychic has been the defacto light type for a while now

[north crow]

bc gen 5 was super centralized by dragons

[sweet crypt]

But it still would've been cool for the mascot of Moon that heavily centers around light be the same type as the move moonlight

[brisk hedge]

TBH, I’m not entirely sure why the moon is so heavily linked to the fairy type

[sweet crypt]

Tbf Dark is like the type I see most people recommend

And that makes even less sense than Psychic

Or Fairy

Or Ghost

LUNALA IS A DEITY OF LIGHT LIKE BRO

[brisk hedge]

Probably some Japanese thing I’m too uncultured to know about

[north crow]

its not

[sweet crypt]

Gives light, is worshipped

[north crow]

its literally the moon pokemon

[sweet crypt]

Close enough

[north crow]

nobody worships it tho

[sweet crypt]

Idk ancient alolans did alongside Solgaleo and Necrozma

[north crow]

it was honored as an emissary of the moon

[sweet crypt]

Then they all died out or something and now people think "No way that's true that's so stupid and unrealistic"

[north crow]

thats it

[sweet crypt]

And forgetting that they're literally in a world where animals breathe fire

[sweet crypt]

If it wasn't heavily associated with light why does Necrozma attach to it for light?

Exactly

[north crow]

...because theyre the light trio?

[brisk hedge]

Quick reminder that people thought the earth was flat many years ago

[north crow]

its the shadow to solgaleo's sun

[sweet crypt]

EXACTLY THEY'RE BEINGS OF LIGHT WHY WOULD LUNALA BE A DARK TYPE

[north crow]

...yes?

why would it be dark

[brisk hedge]

People with believe or not believe stupid stuff

[sweet crypt]

WHY ARE YOU ARGUING WITH ME IF YOU AGREE WITH ME WHAT

[north crow]

...i didnt say anything about it being dark type.

[sweet crypt]

I was ranting about how people say Lunala should be dark type

[north crow]

iv never seen anyone say that

literally ever

[sweet crypt]

And completely forget that Lunala is quite literally a being that produces light

[sweet crypt]

I've seen quite a number of them

Including some in this server

[north crow]

its signiture move is literally "shadow beam"

[sweet crypt]

That would probably not want to own up after I ranted about Lunala literally producing light and how Dark would make 0 sense

[north crow]

well

dark isnt "dark" type

[brisk hedge]

Moongeist beam

[north crow]

its "evil"

[north crow]

yes, but i meant the translation

[sweet crypt]

There's also 0 evidence as to how Lunala would be evil

Whether Dark is literal or figurative, Lunala isn't Dark type

And I don't know why people think it should be

[north crow]

🤷‍♂️ people just assume bats to be bad

[sweet crypt]

Can't believe we live in such a speciesist world smh

[brisk hedge]

Absol isn’t evil either and it’s a dark type

[sweet crypt]

Yes, and it makes 0 sense

What about it

[north crow]

because it brings about catastrophes (despite it warning)

[sweet crypt]

It literally doesn't bring catastrophes it only warns about them

Honestly this feels like Gamefreak wanted it to actually bring catastrophes

[north crow]

not really

[sweet crypt]

Went "Wait no that's too dark" despite some of their other dex entries

And then never retconned the type

[north crow]

buddy

most of the time the dex entries explain their typings

[brisk hedge]

It should be dark/fairy

[north crow]

absol is one such example

[north crow]

its mega shouldve been, absolutely

[sweet crypt]

I dont feel explained at all, if Dark is supposedly the evil type, why do all of Absol's dex entries talk about it warning humanity of catastrophes and being mistaken as a doombringer

[brisk hedge]

I’d argue a case for base Absol being dark/fairy as well, but the mega should’ve been even more

[sweet crypt]

Do we just

Get to decide what type a Pokemon is?

[north crow]

its dark because its a doom bringer

[sweet crypt]

It literally isn't

The dex entries outright say it is mistaken for a doombringer

[north crow]

Quite literally yes

[sweet crypt]

Well, then I wish for Lunala to be Ghost/Fairy

[north crow]

it is stated multiple times in gen 6 that "Pokemon we thought were normal types were actually fairy"

[sweet crypt]

... Doesn't seem like anything happened

Well then

[brisk hedge]

I see it this way: it has the power to sense evil, meaning it has evil related powers, but it’s not evil itself

[north crow]

or pokemon that they didnt know had a secondary type applying

[sweet crypt]

Fairy type was just full on retcon lmao

[north crow]

🙄

it was made to balance against dragons

they rarely change pokemons typings

[sweet crypt]

How does this disprove what I said exactly?

It can be both a retcon in lore and a balancing trick that went horribly wrong

[north crow]

wym "horribly wrong"

lol

does giving steel to magnemite make it a retcon?

[sweet crypt]

This actually would make some amount of sense, except that "evil related powers" doesn't make a lot of sense but this is fiction so I'll let it slide

[sweet crypt]

Fairy is the most broken type in the game

Undoubtedly

[north crow]

its undoubtedly not

[sweet crypt]

So yeah, a balancing trick gone horribly wrong

It's either it or Steel tbh

They're both pretty absurd

[north crow]

having good pokemon in the type doesnt make the type broken

[brisk hedge]

I was about to say, steel has so many resistances

[sweet crypt]

It's a good thing Fairy is by itself a good type

And not like Psychic

[north crow]

for example

[sweet crypt]

Where the Pokemon are great and the type is ass

[north crow]

ice is an awful type

[sweet crypt]

Ice is not awful

[north crow]

but almost every new ice type in gen 9 are Ubers (aka the ban list)

[sweet crypt]

It's like a C tier

[north crow]

it is literally

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/weavile-pokemon-anime-dance-gif-22707594

[north crow]

one of the worst types

[sweet crypt]

Heavily flawed but strong in certain scenarios

[north crow]

along side bug

[sweet crypt]

True but the only types I'd say are awful are Bug and Psychic

[north crow]

ok now i know youre just talking out your ass lol

[sweet crypt]

And please don't make me explain for the 50th time why Psychic is bad

I've done it many times before and I'm not feeling like doing it again

[north crow]

if you have to explain why youre wrong 50 times then maybe youre wrong lool

[sweet crypt]

Idk people tend to either agree with the notion that Psychic is ass or seem to think we're in Gen 1 or something

[north crow]

its in a fine spot

its definitely not ass so idk who thinks that

[sweet crypt]

Or they think it's like B tier which is idk ig kinda understandable if you don't look closely at all

But if you look closely you notice a shitload of tiny little cracks inside of it

Instead of explaining again why Psychic is bad, I'll explain why I think Ice isn't actually THAT bad

[north crow]

i know why it isnt "that" bad

[sweet crypt]

Sure it's still a bottom 5 type but like I said, I think only 2 types are bad full on

[north crow]

because most of the pokemon in the type are fucking awful

[sweet crypt]

Simply put, Ice is a massive glass cannon type, meant only to be put on fast offensive mons, that Gamefreak puts on slow bulky Pokemon

[north crow]

slow but frail, fast but no good stats, bad movepool, secondary type that gives it even more weaknesses, etc.

[brisk hedge]

Normal is the worst type

[sweet crypt]

It's the same case as Rock lmaoo

Why did they make this mistake twice

Gamefreak really knows how to balance with Gen 1 (full stop), the top 2 types, Ice and Rock, Bug and current gen Psychic oh my god there's so many examples for different context and reasonings

I can respect them for not letting Kingambit get Knock Off

And not letting any fast Spore user ever exist

[north crow]

they gave it sucker punch

which is just as bad tbh

[sweet crypt]

Yknow what would be worse than Sucker Punch? Sucker Punch AND Knock Off

We take the small Ws sometimes in a world of Ls

[north crow]

it would run one or the other

[sweet crypt]

It possibly could run both

[north crow]

it wont

its signature is also dark

[sweet crypt]

And even if it ran one or the other, that's still a nightmare

[north crow]

3 dark type moves is not something you want

when NONE of them are set ups

[sweet crypt]

"Will I get hit for extremely high damage and lose my item or get hit by miserable mindgames?"

[north crow]

also

[sweet crypt]

I could honestly see replacing Kowtow Cleave with Knock Off

Definitely a tough choice though

[north crow]

this mon usually comes late in the game

it would run sucker punch 9 times out of 10 to get the reverse sweep

[sweet crypt]

Well it needs other moves to click when predicting a non attacking move

Knock Off just adds to the pile of options

"Will I be hit by Knock Off, Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head, Low Kick or Tera Blast?"

Tbf I don't remember Tera Blast on Kingambit being common

Metagames change though

[north crow]

it was early on i think

but yea nah

[sweet crypt]

Oh god damn they compressed 2 of its sets into 1 set with multiple options

And erased another

[north crow]

Sucker Punch + Tera Dark

is just ohkoing so much

[sweet crypt]

Knock Off would be better burst than Kowtow while Kowtow is more reliable, but item removal is big

100% accuracy is not very different to always hits in OU

Well no need to worry about that it thankfully doesn't exist

Unless you play NatDex, but Kingambit was banned for having that and then also Pursuit so now you really don't know what option this mf is picking

At least it probably wasn't running HP Fire for Ferrothorn

[north crow]

didnt really need to tbh

low kick hits it neutrally for a lot

i play randbats on showdown so i see some wacky mons alot

[sweet crypt]

Low Kick hits Ferrothorn for SE though

And yes it should be enough

[north crow]

oh i thought grass resisted it for some reason

[sweet crypt]

But I find it hilarious that mons like Ferrothorn itself have ran HP Fire in the past for Ferrothorn

It's just so fucking stupid and amazing

You could also run it for Kartana

It's a lot more effective on the Pokemon with special bulk of literal paper than Ferrothorn who tanks Mystical Fires from Mega Diancie

Kartana has the exact same Defence stat as Ferrothorn

Idk if this was intentional but if it was that's hilarious

Like I said like an hour or two ago I am very addicted to Pokemon

How long have I been yapping for

[north crow]

too long

[sweet crypt]

Exactly

I need to find another hobby

Omg I've been on a Pokemon topic on Discord for like fucking 6-7 hours now

It's like fucking 10 am for me I need to get a life

💀

In my defence I've spent the last few days sleeping for absurdly long hours

I swear this is only normal like 30% of the time

Yes, I am trying to find humour in this situation despite everything

It's a coping mechanism

The 2 things I like the most is being overdramatic on a Pokemon related subject where none of my insults or whatever should be taken seriously (except towards Gamefreak's balancing lmao) and shittalking myself where I genuinely hate myself

That's a trend I'm noticing rn

[sweet crypt]

This is half #other-pokemon-games talk and half #off-topic talk actually where would it go

Why am I talking to myself

[north crow]

https://tenor.com/view/get-some-help-michael-jordan-stumpy-ask-for-help-call-for-help-gif-17800408

[latent totem]

ngl, I've noticed that pokemon can bring out the worst in some people since everyone in the fanbase seems to have a differing opinion on the state of the franchise rn

just look at pokerogue and how quickly it devolved thanks to arrogant pride and their insistence that their way is the correct way

times like these I think the smart play is to just disconnect from the franchise entirely for a while

[unkempt egret]

what I'm aiming to do next year

or at least just disconnect from the fandom itself and experience the pokemon journey alone

[lusty iris]

I like playing with my girlfriend

[untold hill]

Lmao

[rotund oracle]

Sounds bad. I've been enjoying the game as of late so I hope it isn't anything beyond some drama.

[simple quartz]

Dev issues?

[hard plume]

they are very strict and elitist when it comes to shinies

[simple quartz]

Lol

Kinda wacky but I guess if there's at least one thing they can be weird about

[hard plume]

there are other things but the sprite thing is the only thing I could remember

[simple quartz]

Such is the risk of ongoing developed fangames

People can be very weird about their creations

Like the original Pokerogue dev

[cold socket]

Talking about the cards here. This card is so sweet!!

Shes just napping and the card is called bianca's devotion and cheren's glasses are on the table

🥺

theyre just... ugh. Ughh black and white i love you so

[north crow]

thats why i dont pay attention to the community

[native lantern]

My fullart Binder in ptcg pocket

[sweet crypt]

Chat pick a Pokemon for my Pokerogue run

Someone in another server picked Regice

So I'm thinking I'm probably already fucked

[latent totem]

Yes

[sweet crypt]

Yeah Pokerogue devs are kinda jerks but they literally do not profit off me playing the game anyways so it's fine

Besides if they did profit off me playing the game Nintendo is boutta fucking strike their asses

[north crow]

pyukumuku

[sweet crypt]

It's so over

[untold hill]

Charizard

[sweet crypt]

OK so basically

My gameplan is to pray I roll Mega Zard Y

Or X

Because that's my team

Regice, Pyuk and Charmander

Omg the rival is using a physical Fire type

Good news though, it's Incineroar, who's a fraud in Singles

[north crow]

arent you happy i told you pyuk

[sweet crypt]

No because Pyuk is passive as shit

[north crow]

enjoy your toxic stall

[sweet crypt]

If I swapped it into Incin Ivy's just swap into Kilowattrel for free

Ig I could make the pivot play

But still

Anyways 95 Ivy was a disaster

Ivy brought Incineroar, Metagross, Turtonator and fucking Blissey

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM AGAINST REGICE

I got past her in the end

[north crow]

?

i love regice

oh ic

nvm

[sweet crypt]

Highlight of the battle was when Blissey Serene Grace Froze Garganacl and got a free kill

Forcing me to Toxic stall

Thanks a ton

[north crow]

forgot the female rival is ivy

[latent totem]

Ive just stopped playing all together because their stupid decisions have negativily impacted enjoyment of the game for me

[north crow]

i get the appeal but

[latent totem]

They completely gutted latias so why would I stick around

[north crow]

theres too much emphasis on "balancing"

bro its a roguelike using pokemon battles

[latent totem]

YES

[north crow]

just let it be broken

[latent totem]

EXACTLY

[north crow]

the whole point of roguelikes is to get as op as you can in the run time you got

the reward for getting your hidden ability shouldnt be "Oh this is really strong, let's nerf it"

it should be "People like this, let's figure out what else people like"

they robbed me of huge power tinkaton right before i got to use it.

And I will never forgive them.

[latent totem]

Not even mentioning the fact that the current owner is a known doxxer

[north crow]

didnt know that but at the same time

dont care about them

[rotund oracle]

I'm still salty at how luck works because I'm trying to run a full shiny team for max luck and I'm getting bloody berries at stage 180.

[north crow]

oh yeah having to use their ugly ass recolors for "luck"

[rotund oracle]

Now this is the kind of concerning thing I was dreading.

[rotund oracle]

They look fine the luck is just poorly implemented I feel.

Like if you have max improved chances of finding good loot in a game you should notice, yeah?

[north crow]

yeah but its not noticeable

also

why do you need a mega ring

to use the mega stones

[rotund oracle]

Then you get my complaint.

[north crow]

why do i need to get both

why do i need to unlock a dynamax band

[rotund oracle]

I just don't know why they include those if like 90% of mons cannot use megas.

[north crow]

only to have to get lucky to even be able to dynamax

[rotund oracle]

Same with gigantamax.

[north crow]

only give it to me

if its an option of my mons

[rotund oracle]

Yeahhh

[latent totem]

They have extremely strict rules for shinies as well. I was litterally banned from the server just because one if the heads didnt like my ideas for recolora

[north crow]

not "oh you got this at floor 15, its floor 195 and you still cant use it for any pokemon."

[rotund oracle]

Oh man.

[north crow]

not the stupidest thing iv been banned from a discord server for but that is a bad one yea

[rotund oracle]

They should give it only when it's an option and when picking up the initial item give you a whatevermax for free.

[latent totem]

Oh it gets better

[north crow]

or yknow just... give you the option, if it's an option

"Do you want to gigantamax? Yes? Press this button"

[sweet crypt]

It's a well known fact that Pokerogue devs are stupid

[north crow]

ofc theyre fucking stupid

[sweet crypt]

But I mean playing their game doesn't even support them lmao

[north crow]

they stole the idea from a rom hack

that is way more effort

[sweet crypt]

If it wasn't a non profit game they wouldn't exist

[north crow]

i doubt that

[rotund oracle]

Still it feels weird to support people that does that kind of stuff because it enables them to get a platform and reputation.

[north crow]

blame youtubers

tbh

they just play w/e they want without looking into if they should show it or not

[rotund oracle]

I just really like how the system for combat UI works and the like, man.

[north crow]

speaking of the UI

holy fuck did they ruin it

[sweet crypt]

It's simple, the devs are idiots but the game's pretty good

[north crow]

i came back after a while

[sweet crypt]

The devs could get replaced for all I care

[north crow]

the game's only good because people like to do pokemon battles.

which is why showdown is successful

why is there no "Reset Data" button

I want to restart but not make a whole new fucking account.

[sweet crypt]

I cant relate to that since I juggle accounts all the time

[north crow]

i completed everything

[latent totem]

Said head made up a bullshit story about a joke i made in the presence of a minor, and said i was a groomer or some shit. They also gave no context for any of things they told the mod that banned me

[north crow]

but now so much has changed since then

that i literally do not know what the fuck im doing lol

[rotund oracle]

Discord classic innit

[sweet crypt]

I'm sure they'll be replaced eventually

[north crow]

discord moment

this is why minors shouldnt be allowed on the internet

i dont give a fuck if youre 10 or 17, get off

imo

go like, hang out with your friends

you wont have the time to when youre 20 and older working a 9 to 5

[rotund oracle]

But yeah Pokerogue does need polish but I'd be fine with it if the devs didn't include doxxers lol

[north crow]

oh well

[latent totem]

The funniest shit is the mod who banned me recently left themselves, so it seeme they got fed up with the bullshit too

[north crow]

how do i even log out

[rotund oracle]

Like even the mechanics that are kinda ass are just that, shit mechanics.

[north crow]

oh right.

[rotund oracle]

God knows.

[north crow]

i found it.

[latent totem]

Theyre actually on this server, and i would ping them, but dont wanna bother em

[north crow]

lol

[rotund oracle]

Bruh

We've got a mole.

[north crow]

aight

restart time

oh wow they really hide everything from you now

lol

[sweet crypt]

Once I have gotten full completion I can rest easy

[north crow]

i got full completion

[sweet crypt]

By full completion I mean not full completion

[north crow]

like

[sweet crypt]

Because I don't feel like going after egg moves

[north crow]

full dex, all shinies, egg moves

it took a while

[sweet crypt]

Full pokedex is all I really care about

[north crow]

wow

they really put chikorita at 2

[sweet crypt]

I didn't even care about it until like a week or so ago

[latent totem]

That reminds me that quite a few people from pokerogue joined specifically just to bad mouth me after i came in here and talked about this crap

Like

[sweet crypt]

Maybe a mouth idk

[north crow]

lol

[sweet crypt]

OK let's point and laugh at them fr

[north crow]

I can guarantee

i wont care about this in like

an hour

[sweet crypt]

(This is a joke I do not condone harassment even if the target is a jerk)

[north crow]

I do

:^)

if they deserve it

[rotund oracle]

Man.

Fandoms am I right?

[latent totem]

lowkey kinda agree

Like that one artist head who got me banned can go fuck themselves

[north crow]

lol.

[rotund oracle]

People "deserve" that kind of stuff until you're the one getting it for no reason beyond the fact someone just imagines you're the bad guy.

[north crow]

i shouldnt be saying this given this kind of server but

lol. artists.

[latent totem]

Funniest thing

Im an artist too

So that just makes them look even worse

[north crow]

iv had a permanent bad taste of artists left in my mouth for a while

[latent totem]

Talking down to people they think theyre better than

[latent totem]

Spend some time in the nsfw art community and itll change your perspective lmao

[north crow]

no it wont

since I already do.

[sweet crypt]

This can be taken out of context so easily

[north crow]

lmao.

[latent totem]

Based

[untold hill]

It did?

[latent totem]

But maybe youre just hanging around the wrong people

[north crow]

well

I did say had

and I did say a while.

[latent totem]

All my artist friends are super nice

[rotund oracle]

You can't hate artists, I'm one and I'm great.

[untold hill]

Oh wait golduck doesn’t exist LMFAO

[north crow]

I can hate artists.

[rotund oracle]

[north crow]

more often than not i dont like em

[untold hill]

Tpc hates golduck yall confirmed fr

[north crow]

so many are stuck up snobs

[cursive falcon]

It's just Psyduck

Not Golduck

[untold hill]

Sad

[north crow]

lmao

wild

[latent totem]

[cursive falcon]

That's what hurts so much

[rotund oracle]

Are you hanging around painters?

[north crow]

i havent played that game in so long

I dont hang around artists in general

because if I did id hate my self more

[rotund oracle]

No wonder.

[north crow]

you dont hang around people you dont like

[cursive falcon]

It is now the second Pokemon that can not evolve into it's final form by choice
The other being fuggin Pikachu

[north crow]

neat.

came with expanding force lol

[latent totem]

Fun fact, i made a replacement shiny for golduck for pokerogue that actually turns him gold

Rejected, because of course it was

[rotund oracle]

Well rn am surrounded by pokemon fans.

Again, no offense guys

[north crow]

never said I was a fan

[latent totem]

Me neither

[sweet crypt]

I'm a Pokemon fan and I hate myself

[latent totem]

I hate pokemon

[sweet crypt]

It works 100% of the time

If you're a Pokemon fan you suck

[rotund oracle]

And never swallow.

[latent totem]

at least the games

I just stick qround for the designs

Speaking which

[sweet crypt]

Hey look an opportunity to start a more positive conversation with the most reused question ever

Hey what is your favourite Pokemon design?

[north crow]

no

:^)

[sweet crypt]

:(

[rotund oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/tyranitar-pokemon-anime-gif-23083644

[sweet crypt]

My rankings are primarily based off design so this isn't too difficult

[latent totem]

I learned that flamigo was this close to looking like this and im beyond angry this got scrapped:

[sweet crypt]

Between Lunala and Latios, I prefer the former's design, and I don't see any Pokemon close below it that I'd say I prefer purely design wise

[north crow]

right design is worse

infinitely

its obviously meant to be a garden flamigo

[rotund oracle]

Should've been an evo ngl

[north crow]

nah

didnt need one

[latent totem]

I agree

[north crow]

its already p cracked ngl

[sweet crypt]

Flamigo looks like it needs an evolution

[rotund oracle]

Make the cracked one the evo

[sweet crypt]

But it doesnt feel like it needs one

[rotund oracle]

It's not that complicated

[north crow]

i speak only facts

[sweet crypt]

If you get what I mean

[north crow]

its just hawlucha 2.0

[north crow]

i sent my self out

[sweet crypt]

Boutta pull a L:A

[north crow]

i fist fought an abra

oh yeah

one of my big complaints

pokemon learning moves that arent programmed in

[sweet crypt]

Almost lost like 3 times

But I won

[brisk hedge]

So apparently I’m using Giratina as my fly HM slave now

[stray heart]

So which Pokemon region would be the worst to wake up in?

[sweet crypt]

Probably Unova, considering Team Plasma exists, and that even if they didn't, Kyurem apparently just eats people

I also don't feel safe with a moth who accidentally kills people by asphyxiation, whether or not it is my 2nd favourite Pokemon

[stray heart]

What about Galar? Only thing you have to worry about is Pokémon’s Elon Musk summoning a giant eldritch space hand whose mere existence warps the fabric of spacetime

[hard plume]

Well this just made me love stoutland

[hard plume]

excuse me

w h a t

[hard plume]

i rember that
hell, I'll even post a link to the convo
#other-pokemon-games message

TL;DR: The shiny luck system sucks balls

[brisk hedge]

It’s never been confirmed that Kyrum actually eats people. It’s just an old legend

Plus, team Plasma had been defeated already

[unkempt egret]

so tl;dr: "pokerogue cringe emerald rogue based"?

[hard plume]

that actually looks really good

[sweet crypt]

I still wouldn't trust Kyurem it looks like it definitely want to do something devious

If we assume all big evil teams have been defeated then any of them are extremely close to each other... except Hisui but that's an entirely different time period so I'm not counting it

[brisk hedge]

Galar’s definitely the worst, with giant Pokémon being everywhere

[unkempt egret]

I think it's correct that every "evil" team in the main series has disbanded, either forcibly or willingly? (or gone legit in ||Aether||'s case)

[stray heart]

Doesn’t it want to be whole again?

[brisk hedge]

Team Star is still together (they’re not really evil though)

[hard plume]

the one on the right is concept art from gen 6.
Plus, you can have different pokemon based on the same concept.
If official and concept art pokemon lived together, Flamigo and "Flamengo" would be buds

[unkempt egret]

fair point on that yea that might be another "gone legit" since I recall they now run a training program for the school?

[sweet crypt]

It does but I don't think it plans on using very humane methods

[prime crest]

the gangs all here

[brisk hedge]

Kyrum never gets close enough to the others (without human intervention) for us to know

[stray heart]

Yeah, aren’t they just a group of bullies who took things too far?

[prime crest]

they grow up so fast

[sweet crypt]

To be fair it isn't the only fusion based 3rd member of a trio who constantly lives in misery and would do anything to cease its current miserable existence, usually involving the other members

[stray heart]

To the point where their founder had to go undercover and hire us to disband the group

[prime crest]

dont bully my babies theyre doing their best

[hard plume]

Kyruem is the original dragon, while necrozma is a dark crystal that needs light to kick ass

....those two should date

screw the egg group system

[sweet crypt]

The timeline was get bullied->take things too far against bullies->become bullies iirc

[brisk hedge]

They were the ones who were bullied, than they threatened the bullies within an inch of their lives and played hooky for a bit

[stray heart]

And then Penny had to go undercover and hire us to disband the group

[unkempt egret]

mono-psychic?

[sweet crypt]

They didn't even fight the bullies they just built big fucking cars and they got scared and ran

[prime crest]

yeah, tryna be a weird gym leader guy

[sweet crypt]

Imagine being scared of a car

[unkempt egret]

nice, nice

[hard plume]

they didn't even build cars
they modified revarooms

[prime crest]

at least for when more than 2 people ever join the server im playin

[sweet crypt]

In a world where just some random Pokemon is worshipped as a deity and is capable of devastating entire towns

[hard plume]

you would be scared by a car too if it got pimped out to have weapons
and it was a living car

[brisk hedge]

You realize what getting run over by a car can do to a person, right

[sweet crypt]

And there's multiple other random Pokemon that just can wipe out towns without even intending to do so

[sweet crypt]

At least if someone ran me over with a car they'd get arrested

Tf they gonna do when I get slaughtered by some wild animal?

[hard plume]

beetle that is a railgun
that is all

[stray heart]

Mmmmm, vehicular manburgerhelper

[sweet crypt]

Get slaughtered too because it wiped out the entire rest of the city?

Exactly

[unkempt egret]

and one of them sprays toxic caltrops every time it gets touched

[stray heart]

Ok now what about Kitikami and Blueberry Academy?

[hard plume]

https://tenor.com/view/christine-gif-9274148

[sweet crypt]

Bro I can just accidentally step on a friend's toe

And suddenly earth is gone

[stray heart]

Anyone?

[hard plume]

we talking about that in general?

I think its pretty cool

both of em

[stray heart]

Yeah

[sweet crypt]

Because his fucking Gardevoir saw me do that and thought I was being malicious

[stray heart]

Would it be safe living there?

[sweet crypt]

This isn't exactly a world where I'd have being ran over by a car as my biggest worry

[prime crest]

i am also very painfully realizing that a lot of the moves i wanted to put together for my team i dont think i can actually accomplish

like, i dont think TM moves n stuff are available for me here

[brisk hedge]

Well, I’d rather be shot than blown up, but I still don’t want to be shot

[stray heart]

I mean, Kitikami has her

https://tenor.com/view/ogerpon-pokemon-nod-gif-6252740989071573509

[sweet crypt]

Ogerpon is goober 10/10

[hard plume]

god she's adorable

[prime crest]

so stuff like my screen setter xatu and baton pass solrock idea is kind of not possible

[hard plume]

Just a little living plant gremlin

[sweet crypt]

There is 0 proof that Ogerpon murdered anyone apart from the Fraudulent 3

[hard plume]

with a club

[stray heart]

That can absolutely decimate competitive play

[sweet crypt]

I mean I say that but Okidogi is UUBL it isn't exactly a fraud

[hard plume]

Gatelight, Gatekeep, and Girlboss

[sweet crypt]

But the other 2 are so shh

[hard plume]

we're talkin about in lore, not in competative

[stray heart]

She did also send their leader into a coma

[sweet crypt]

Yeah no in lore they are fraudulent

Imagine fucking losing the 4v1 against a Grass type bro

Fraud behaviour

[stray heart]

Pecharunt fucked around and found out

[sweet crypt]

4 fucking Poison types
"Nah, I'd win"

• Ogerpon, probably

I want to point how how Ogerpon's BST trails behind the Loyal 3 and Pecharunt's

[hard plume]

Ogerpon has what those 4 don't:
Determination

[stray heart]

And revenge

[sweet crypt]

And how Pecharunt is a physical tank

And how Ogerpon is a physical attacker

[stray heart]

She was basically like this the moment she found out they killed her OG trainer

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-stare-meme-angry-gif-14312537171363175004

[brisk hedge]

“We have you 4 to 1”
Ogerpon: “I like those odds”

[hard plume]

yummy yummy look that that coverage

[sweet crypt]

Ogerpon would definitely lose the 1v1 against all 4 of The Loyal 3 and Pecharunt

If this were gameplay accurate

But she's built different

Like biggest thing she could do is like maybe Zen Headbutt OHKO Okidogi? Zen Headbutt's pretty weak and Okidogi's a physically bulky mf but it is a 4× SE move

But Zen Headbutt is a fraud move nobody runs that

Including on Ogerpon

80 BP 90% accuracy 💀

[hard plume]

Not when she's tera'd

[sweet crypt]

Depends on the mask

And the member

For example, Cornerstone could struggle with Dogi

[stray heart]

Now what about Terapagos?

[sweet crypt]

But you have to remember, Ogerpon at this point in the story only had the Teal Mask

It's just fucking built different

Turns a matchup against 4 Pokemon it should lose a 1v1 against into a W

[sweet crypt]

Tortle

[ornate scarab]

tortle

[stray heart]

Seriously, how is this the source of the Terastal Phenomenon

[sweet crypt]

Jokes aside I really liked how the handled Terapagos

I also like how there's a random fucking Bad Apple reference in the song

[stray heart]

https://tenor.com/view/terapagos-pokemon-pokemon-terapagos-gif-5336530138260992109

How is this turtle so powerful

[ornate scarab]

it's busted

[fringe flower]

bc it's a legendary

[sweet crypt]

Unironically Terapagos' theme might be better than Ultra Necrozma's theme

It's close

[stray heart]

Like we can’t forget the post DLC ending where Terapagos bends the fabric of spacetime to bring the real Sada/Turo to us

[sweet crypt]

Wait was the Bad Apple reference in Terapagos' theme

I know someone in Indigo Disk randomly carried Bad Apple around in their theme

[ornate scarab]

I'm sorry they what

[sweet crypt]

Am I tripping hold up

I might be fucking tripping rn

I just fucking smashed my head into a puzzle for like 2 hours my brain hurty

I'm either tripping or will stumble upon it tomorrow and go "Oh right it's there"

I've done stuff like this before it's always one or the other

[ornate scarab]

i hope you're correct

[sweet crypt]

OK hold up I'm gonna investigate this feeling of touhou motifs tmr

But like I said I spent 2 hours smashing by head into a puzzle and it hurts now

No wait nvm just found a part that sounds similar to a song from Touhou, though not bad apple

Problem: I forgot the name of the song lmfao

It's probably a coincidence anyways

That said they do have Toby Fox working on the songs and idk who made these songs

So if Toby Fox was working on it I would not be surprised if he slid a reference to touhou in

Pretty sure he looks up to ZUN a ton

Heck maybe it's just a common sort of musical passage to have

And I'm just addicted to touhou music

Idfk

Will look into it tmr lol

OH RIGHT THE REASON WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD APPLE IS BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER SONG I DISCOVERED AROUND THE TIME THAT HAD A BAD APPLE REFERENCE IN IT, SO I REMEMBERED THERE WAS A POSSIBLE TOUHOU REFERENCE BUT DIDN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS AND ASSUMED IT WAS THE BAD APPLE REFERENCE

Everything makes sense now

[warm rose]

Shiny hunting 5 pokemon at the same time with eggs👍

[sweet crypt]

Flashback when I was fighting Oleana for the first time, the game was like "Oleana is about to switch in Garbodor" and I genuinely though I misread it and it was Gardevoir

Given the rest of her team yknow

Nope, it was Garbodor

It was pretty hilarious

[brisk hedge]

That is a pretty fitting Pokémon to represent the game’s plot

[sweet crypt]

Damn, I just wanted to talk about something I found pretty funny and the instant first reaction is to be negative :(

[warm rose]

Dont disrespect swsh

It is a great game

[warm rose]

The garbodor reveals her true character

She be eeevillll trashhh

[sweet crypt]

It being her ace is amazing because Garbodor and Gardevoir aren't extremely dissimilar names, and Gardevoir, at least for me, was what I was expecting with the rest of the team

So I genuinely just assumed I misread Gardevoir as Garbodor

I read it correctly, it was in fact Garbodor

And it was amazing

[warm rose]

and the gigantamax

On top of that

[sweet crypt]

There's a plane in that trash

[warm rose]

Isnt there also a cruise ship

[sweet crypt]

Fun fact: Gmax Garbodor is about the same size as Eternatus

Base Eternatus

[warm rose]

wait

IT HAS A MASTERBALL???

[sweet crypt]

Gmax Garbodor is listed as 21m+

[sweet crypt]

Eternatus is listed as 20m

[sweet crypt]

LMAO

IS THAT A TRAIN AS WELL

They kinda cooked with this Pokemon design ngl

[warm rose]

i dont like ppl who disrespect swsh

[sweet crypt]

Why is Eternatus so massive

I mean I'm a fan

[warm rose]

Theyre great games

[sweet crypt]

It's very cool to imagine this 20m skeletal space energy dragon staring down at you

[warm rose]

And have like almost all legendaries as shiny forms

in the dlc

[sweet crypt]

Like the insignificant insect you are

But it won't stop keeping from wondering why

[warm rose]

Currently hunting 5 different shinies at once with eggs

[sweet crypt]

Eternatus would get into the top 10 of longest whales

If it was a whale

And real

[warm rose]

Tauros Water
Gulpin
Eiscue
Passimian
Dreepy

[sweet crypt]

I think it would be like 4th?

Or was it 5th

[warm rose]

Guess what they all have in common

[sweet crypt]

I checked a long time ago

Version exclusives for Violet

[warm rose]

Wow

[warm rose]

DING DING DING!!!

correct!

[sweet crypt]

I know for a fact Water Tauros, Eiscue and Dreepy are Violet exclusives

And I knew Passimian would also always be an exclusive

With Oranguru

[warm rose]

Look at these beautiful shiny lines

[sweet crypt]

I'm not sure what Gulpin's supposed counterpart is

But I'm not gonna bother asking

I mean I'm pretty sure Ambipom is Gliscor's counterpart

And they aren't usually seen as counterparts

And are very different Pokemon

For all I know Gulpin's counterpart is uhhhh

Idk, Croagunk

Or something

[warm rose]

I'd say probably cramorant

oh wait no

cramorant is the morpeko counterpart

[sweet crypt]

Version exclusives shouldn't exist honestly they kinda fucking suck

[warm rose]

its probably stunky

[sweet crypt]

They should just all be in both games

[warm rose]

^^^^^

[sweet crypt]

They're about as bad as evolutions relying on other people

Think Trade Evos and Palafin

[warm rose]

H-he's right behind me, is-isn't he?

OOOoOOOoooOOOo scari

[sweet crypt]

Har har har har har har har har har har

[warm rose]

erm

Akshually

its
Har har harhar har har harhar harhar

[sweet crypt]

I do not care about the gaps tbh

Simply know when they appear

Something something 5 turns in Trick Room

[warm rose]

Wanna see a glitch of pokemon go

[sweet crypt]

Funny thing is, people kept joking about base Ursaluna being Freddy Fazbear before this mf came out

They also joked about it being (rule break) bear

[warm rose]

???

[warm rose]

I can see that

[sweet crypt]

I am not allowed to make this joke or the mods will slaughter me

[warm rose]

Ah

[warm rose]

its about the new(not really that new anymore) dynamax battles

[sweet crypt]

I remember seeing that they added Dmax to GO

My first reaction was something like "bro wtf no don't"

[warm rose]

Big premier ball

[sweet crypt]

Or maybe "Well, that's another metagame ruined"

[warm rose]

They ruined it with the introduction of gmax to go

You needed at least 10 IRL players for a battlr

[sweet crypt]

I was gonna say it's supposed to be big but that's definitely bigger than the intended big

[warm rose]

but to beat it you need like 20+

[warm rose]

it is even bigger than normal yes

[sweet crypt]

That's not really a competitive metagame

That's more so "oops we fucked up non pvp balancing"

[warm rose]

its not competitive at all (yet)

its just the same as shadow raids

[sweet crypt]

See, I'm a Singles player so I've been traumatised by Dmax

[warm rose]

Local only

[sweet crypt]

The entire mechanic is arguably more broken than Mega Rayquaza

We just fucking kicked it to AG

Not without controversy since it's the generational gimmick and all

Gamefreak doesn't balance for Singles so Singles players balance for Gamefreak by banning stuff

But Gen 9 is

[warm rose]

This vid has the normal size

[sweet crypt]

Definitely a balancing nightmare

Gen 9 games were fun

[warm rose]

Still are🤩

[sweet crypt]

The plot has to be like top 3 at least, but tbf Pokemon plot is fucking

Non existent

So top 3 isn't really difficult

I'd say it's top 1 but that's controversial

Controversies suck

[warm rose]

just say everything is top1 and ur done

👍👍👍👍

[sweet crypt]

People love to hate so I won't be

[warm rose]

Oh yea

Violet was guaranteed to have more sales than scarlet

the theme usually is red and blue

But this time
red and..... PURPLE?!?!?!! NOWAY BUY BUY BUY!!!!!

[sweet crypt]

I'm surprised more people bought Violet I only hear people hate on the Violet Paradoxes and fanboy over the Scarlet paradoxes

Past Paradoxes aren't even more creative they're both equally uncreative

You cannot convince me that adding feathers to Mega Salamence and calling it a day is creative

[warm rose]

I mean violet ones are just robots

[sweet crypt]

It is very cool though

I will give it that

[warm rose]

And their shinies are chrome

[sweet crypt]

Roaring Moon may be uncreative but it sure as hell looks cool

We also have Donphan but with bigger tusk and spikes

It also may have jaundice judging by the eyes

(That last one is a joke don't kill me Great Tusk fans)

(I also really like Great Tusk I'm just pointing out these Past Paradoxes aren't all that creative)

[warm rose]

magneton
with....*(spins wheel)*LEGS!
and..... (spins wheel again) HAIR!

[sweet crypt]

(Flutter Mane is literally just Misdreavus with longer hair)

(And so is Scream Tail for Jigglypuff, at least in terms of design)

[warm rose]

Iron valiant is cool

[sweet crypt]

I mostly neglected how creative or whatever the Paradoxes were when ranking them

Like I do not give a shit that Iron Hands is "just" a cyborg Hariyama with floating motherfucking hands

That's cool as shit

Imagine this mf grabbing you from like 10 meters away with those hands that's crazy

Pokemon CC devs are gonna have a nightmare balancing this

[warm rose]

Hmmmm

I hate a0 lighting

[sweet crypt]

My blind and tired ass is unable to see the problem here lmao

Oh the lighting being a bit funky

[warm rose]

They look shiny 😦

It's hard not to make the light in a blue cave with blue crystals not somewhat blue

For what it's worth, Area Zero looks amazing when you're not shiny hunting

[warm rose]

Yes but that doesn't mean the Pokémon should become blue !!

My shiny collection

As the world renowned "John Mono Moth," Iron Moth and Slither Wing are top tier Pokemon

The suicune only took 26 succesful attempts in DAs!

Damn that's quick

I wanted to go for Shiny Lunala in a dynamax adventure but I got bored

I do not have the patience to shiny hunt at all

Especially when the success rate is either determined by bad players or slightly better AIs
