[unkempt egret]

the final team

nice nice, I didn't get any shinies since I didn't want to leave the house in sub-freezing weather rip

(three fairies but oddly enough that only mattered with one of them)

[brisk hedge]

Think I have enough Onix?

[unkempt egret]

yeaaaaa

time to Flair it up I guess

especially since I think you only need to throw away one card for flair if it's an event

[ashen ruin]

rest in pizza

(surf)

yeah

it was on the front page for me

[timid salmon]

I don't trust that date

Im assuming its a placehold date for it releasing end of 2025 and them not delivering new years day.or something

[silver forge]

that is one reason why i dont care anymore about physical carts of the games

[silk goblet]

I dunno why I passed on playing Infinity for so long, this game was great

[ornate scarab]

is that "deliver to" stuff an address?

[sterile fulcrum]

"dont mind the normal luxray"

[silk goblet]

I passed on Pikachu before realizing it had a new evolution way too late and didn’t feel like finding a different electric type xd

[sterile fulcrum]

lol

[candid spindle]

hey chat im playing fire red metronome-locke

basically every pokemon has unlimited metronome

althought other stuff like type effectiveness and such exists

so uhh wich starter

charmander, bulbasaur or squirtle

imma do bulbasaur, havent done a grass starter run in a while

and yea other rules like i must name all pokemon and catch first pokemon i encounteri n a route if possible applies

the basic stuff

and if a pokemon faints they have to be released

all that basic stuff

hmm what would be a good name for a bulbasaur

found a cool one, bobby

lol

i fr rolled splash second turn in the first battle bruh

lmao

[candid spindle]

fr

im doing metronome-locke

of fire red

basically the concept is

main regular nuclocke rules apply

but the gimmick?

every pokemon has unlimited metronome

as only move

there does still exist the other stuff like type chart and such

self destruct and explosion is gonna cook me

fr

good thing the first battle doesnt really count

the first rival battle cuz its sort of tutorial one

from now on, it will count

i better get some good rolls

and since i dont have access to depositing pokemon rn i think if i lose its over

[desert coral]

new terminal montage video is live :D Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

[candid spindle]

i love the mystery dungeon series

how would one nuclocke that series tho

unless someone has done it

well

rip my metronome-locke run

[desert coral]

I'm sure someone has tried

[candid spindle]

lmao

[desert coral]

lots of escape orbs

[candid spindle]

rip my metronome-locke run

didnt get that far

i should also try ironmons one day

i heard ironmons is hard

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/madagscar-penguins-kaboom-gif-9833865

[candid spindle]

yes that

is what happened

also

this metronome is modified too

to make it so it can reroll every move except struggle or itself

like roll i mean

so that is the only blacklist

[brisk hedge]

I did not know that metronome could roll struggle

I heard that it could get itself, but I’ve never seen it

[orchid barn]

How do I get new packs in Pokémon pocket besides the base 3?

[dusk sparrow]

...Why does the community tend to depict Cynthia as an ice cream fiend?

[toxic mist]

Because she is in the anime

[half echo]

Just completed my Promo-A collection. Now to finish off my Genetic Apex Standard Set.

[gaunt cipher]

Dammit i can't download this game, for some reason it doesn't support the newest android version

[tight granite]

i never managed to get the chansey myself so that one is just gone forever

i dont pay in the game so the 2 paid cards i also cant get

and how do you get the bulbasaur and magnemite?

[half echo]

The Bulbasaur and Magnemite are basically the new Chansey event.

[tight granite]

thats why i am asking

how do you get em

[half echo]

And yeah, that Chansey took me forever for no reason 😭

Oh, they're in wonder picks.

[tight granite]

the chansey event was just in the wonder trade section

these arent

[half echo]

That's how I got them, so...

Not sure.

[tight granite]

i havent seen that a single time

the chansey event happend daily for me, but these 2 new cards have not once appeared

[half echo]

Huh, odd.

Speaking of actually, the Bulbasaur/Magnemite pick only appeared for me once when the event came out.

I got the Magnemite from a bonus pick thingy.

[tight granite]

yeah hasnt asppeared once for me

so i was very confused

i have every other card, so only card i just cant get at all is now the actual chansey card, i still have hope the bulb and magmemite appear eventually

[half echo]

I hold out hope for you lol

The only thing I actually pay for is the premium pass once a month, I ain't buying no "Poké Gold" cripe tbh

[tight granite]

thats what i mean the special pikachu and mewtwo you got can only be got with the premium pass

they are paid cards

im not even sure if you can even still get the pikachu one now even if i get the premioum 2 week thing

[half echo]

Unfortunately so.

[half echo]

I think it's still there.

[timid salmon]

....no

[sharp granite]

I love to gamble

[sharp granite]

AFTER A WEEK OF TRADING I FINALLY GOT MY SECOND SHINY NIHILEGO

I can’t catch a nihilego since I don’t have pokemon sword/shield yet or any sun/moon game, this is the only way I can get it

[broken crater]

guys

does someone know a place in s/v where I can just use my lvl 100 team without dominating everyone

I own the dlc

without owning switch online

[tight granite]

ultra beasts are only in sumo usum i believe

[sharp granite]

Sword and shield gigantamax raids can have them

[tight granite]

oh?

[sharp granite]

Mhm!

[tight granite]

interesting

[sharp granite]

Shiny odds are 1/300 there

[unkempt egret]

pokemon GO raids can also have shiny ultra beasts

[tight granite]

i mean shield was a shit game so i aint touching it but thats some info

[sharp granite]

I hate pokemon go

[unkempt egret]

if it's level 20-25 like this regidrago is then that's from a GO raid

[sharp granite]

I prefer ultra sun over everything tbh

[tight granite]

good opinion

[sharp granite]

Ik, i still hate go tho

[tight granite]

i dont have ultra but sun is my fav game, and ultra sun is just sun with some new dudes

[unkempt egret]

I'm like...

it's a 50/50 on which of the two I prefer

I still say that if you played one first there's a very good chance you will hate the one you play second

[sharp granite]

Yeah, i love nihilego so that’s main reason why it’s my favorite

But the battle tree was dope

[hardy cypress]

Hi anybody here wanna trade pokemons for trade fusion in Brilliant Diamond?

[unkempt egret]

yea I remember doing a lot with tree back in the day

[tight granite]

my fav ultra is guzzlord

uber

[sharp granite]

GUZZZLORD

Hes fire

Me personally

It’s uh

[unkempt egret]

I would say "physical ninetales + cherrim lol" but I think that was subway where I did that

[sharp granite]

Yeah

I think it’s obvious what my fav UB is

[unkempt egret]

I should probably try that in gen 8 now that I think about it since cherrim's also in that gen (and howl got buffed to affect both party members now)

[sweet crypt]

It's Stakataka

[tight granite]

i cant be bothered doing anything with go but nice

[sharp granite]

Ngl i completely forgot that UB existed

[unkempt egret]

yea GO currently has... genesect in raids I believe

[sharp granite]

Pokemon home, not go…

If u were talking to me

[tight granite]

ah looks like Go lul

[sharp granite]

Im blind

[sweet crypt]

Did you grind all those nihilegos from SMUSUMSWSH?

Or did you play GO

[tight granite]

traded

it looks like

or he said

[unkempt egret]

yea I think they said surprised/wonder traded?

[sharp granite]

It literally doesn’t. 😡

[unkempt egret]

also heck I'm way far back in teal mask I still gotta do the loyal lousy foul three fights

[sweet crypt]

Ngl I'm surprised that people would send Nihilegos there, and even shiny ones

[tight granite]

eh

[unkempt egret]

I don't think it's a super hard raid to do? it's bulky but it's also got a quad weakness

[sharp granite]

Traded! I cant get em in game yet so i basically spent the past week trading for any nihilego i could find

[tight granite]

which ones, the first or the ones where you fight them each...or the last where you catch them

[sweet crypt]

Is Nihilego really bulky in GO?

Its physical bulk is paper

Special bulk is good iirc

It's like the inverse of Kartana's bulk

[unkempt egret]

131 for the most part yea so probably? HP literally has no factor in raid bosses though (so shuckle is horrifying to fight while something like drifblim or guzzlord is basically a punchline)

[sharp granite]

Nihilego is just built different

Ahah

[sweet crypt]

Speaking of Kartana, is that bulky in GO?

Same type of bulk as Nihilego

You'd assume it'd be

[sharp granite]

Kartana is so mid… 😒

[unkempt egret]

in raids it's not too bad because again, fire go fwoosh in PvP not sure?

the HP makes it squisher than you'd think and it really doesn't like razor leaf taking another nerf in september but it's servicable

I think it is the highest DPS grass option for raids though because holy crap 181 attack

[sweet crypt]

You don't say

[sharp granite]

Ngl rock/poison is a interesting type

[sweet crypt]

Nihilego is definitely more specially bulky than kartana is physically

[unkempt egret]

that being said low HP + decent defenses does give it a good niche against rockets and raid bosses when it comes to conserving potions

[sweet crypt]

They're both about as paper thin on their weaker defences though

[unkempt egret]

yea

[sweet crypt]

Once you go below 50 defence your HP stat really stops mattering unless it's Blissey level HP

[sharp granite]

I like gold calamari

[unkempt egret]

yea though for chansey blissey they intentionally gave it awful quick moves just so it wouldn't be mandatory on every GL/UL team ROFL

[sweet crypt]

Where even then Blissey's ability to tank physical hits is like Volcarona's ability to tank special hits

[unkempt egret]

yea that one looks like an US/UM soft-reset I think?

[sweet crypt]

It's alright but like you won't be using it to tank those hits specifically

[unkempt egret]

nice job though I recall doing that and it took me a long time to get yellow jelly

[sharp granite]

Heheheheheheh

Gold

My. 3DS blew up tho☹️

[unkempt egret]

gold jelly just makes me think of honey tho

[sharp granite]

Kablam

[unkempt egret]

also my 3DS is on its last legs but I was able to finish my sun run at least

[sharp granite]

Mmmmmm… yummers

[unkempt egret]

amusingly enough I'm curretnly training up a shiny in my current run since it actually falls within my rules

...it's a spidops tho ROFL

[sweet crypt]

I know people say you can make anything work

[sharp granite]

Diglet

[sweet crypt]

But that's definitely working a lot less well than all your other Pokemon

[sharp granite]

Heheh

[sweet crypt]

My condolences

[sweet crypt]

Level 100

Bam

[unkempt egret]

not that far behind though

[sharp granite]

Water

Blam

[sweet crypt]

Simply focus sash

[unkempt egret]

since the rule for this run is that I can't use anything with a BST higher than 430

[sweet crypt]

And then hit the opponent twice

If you're level 100 you're gonna 2HKO almost anything

[sharp granite]

Double hit water move

Blam

[sweet crypt]

(And EV trained as well)

[unkempt egret]

I forget why I chose 430 in hindsight, probably since a lot of mons cut off there?

I know it wasn't like shield where I put 1.9 feet specifically to ban greedent rofl

[sweet crypt]

A level 100 EV trained diglett is outspeeding and 2HKOing almost anything in base game

[sharp granite]

EV training… I ev trained my shiny gardevoir! She’s the best possible gardevoir there can be

[unkempt egret]

yea in the champ fight that can like... bop ||slither wing|| in scarlet and ??? in violet

[sweet crypt]

You can make it work...

If you're deranged

But still

[sharp granite]

Heheheheh

Endure

Endeavor

[unkempt egret]

I mean the shield run had litwick putting in good work rofl

[sweet crypt]

Something you wouldn't make work without massive amounts of evasion though

Sunkern

[unkempt egret]

mostly flash fire + ghost and I forgot raboot went over my size limit

[sharp granite]

Flame body with focus slash then endeavor

[unkempt egret]

in hindsight I could have gotten litten in isle of armor but

[sweet crypt]

You cannot make a fucking Sunkern work

Unless you spam double team

[sharp granite]

Liar

[unkempt egret]

X items/BP cares not for stats

[sharp granite]

Solar beam

[sweet crypt]

30 SpA with low speed and low bulk

[unkempt egret]

but yea litwick's contribution in the final fight was taking out aegislash with a kasib berry + "being slower"

[sharp granite]

We make it work

[sweet crypt]

At least Diglett had the courtesy of being fast

[sharp granite]

Heheh cosmog

[sweet crypt]

Correction: there are 2 pokemon you cannot make work

[unkempt egret]

(eviolite could have also worked but I think that would have gotten OHKO'ed by a crit and I wasn't risking that)

[sweet crypt]

I can see Cosmoem working if you're desperate for a teleport pivot

[unkempt egret]

barring struggle there's also unown with specific hidden powers?

like ground in gen 2 or electric in gen 4

[sweet crypt]

Unkown has 73 SpA that's bound to do something if it lands a hit

[unkempt egret]

yea hence "specific powers" since it can't get past immunities without struggle

[sweet crypt]

Like idk maybe on a mon whose only strong moves are ground type

Or maybe on a disabled baby

[unkempt egret]

if you ran a type that didn't have those immunities then yea you could make it work (like rock in gen 2 or ice in gen 4)

[sweet crypt]

You could still land 1 hit with thos

As long as you landed 1 hit to deal good damage that's fine

[unkempt egret]

(also I should clarify gen two for rock because you don't have to deal with bugsy's scyther knowing u-turn)

[sweet crypt]

And an Unown could maybe do good damage if you have it specs and ev trained

Maybe

In base game bt

[unkempt egret]

but yea X-items also get better in gen 7+ since they give +2 in a stat instead of just +1

[sweet crypt]

Please for the love of God do not take this to competitive

Also, anyone noticing discord removing the last letter of your messages?

[unkempt egret]

do maybe take it into a single player battle facility tho just for the comedy

and not sure?

[sweet crypt]

I definitely saw the full "btw" in this message

And it got shortened to "bt"

[unkempt egret]

I know I also made ditto work in a gen 2 run (in my defense, it was not alone) but I did kinda have to cheat a bit to get metal powder in since that's normally a gen 1 tradeback thing

since metal powder in gen 2 is... strange? it only boosts defenses by 1.5x but it still works post-transformation

[sweet crypt]

Holy Eviolite Imposter Chansey

With like 50 times less HP, but still

And also with 1 less Imposter

Imposter's a gen 5 thing right?

[candid spindle]

should i try to get shiny glaceon

[tight granite]

no

[candid spindle]

ok

[unkempt egret]

damn

ogrepon actually got a Kill despite being 9 levels lower

(my team is horribly slow atm, rip sunflora lol)

[unkempt egret]

WHOA

completed teal mask, area turns from day to night instantly

(carmine was kinda rough. giga drain with a chance to burn is nasty)

rip, blueberry won't let you into the student facility until you're done with the maingame

[coral talon]

Anyone have a pokemon black 2 dounload

[rugged comet]

?tag rule6

[ebon pond]

Make sure to follow the #rules!

Rule 6 DISALLOWED CONTENT: Resources to illegal content (ROMs, pirated movies, etc). We are sure that there are ways and means of finding these that do not involve a Pokémon Fan Game discord server.

[coral talon]

Mb

[coarse estuary]

im sure you would know but would this rule also count if say i found a cool rom hack or fan game and wanted to share the pokecommunity page or eevee expo page for the game?

[dusk sparrow]

Something I've wondered; Did Cyrus want to annihilate the universe? Or restart it?

[brisk hedge]

Both

[dusk sparrow]

They're mutually exclusive end goals.

[brisk hedge]

Step 1: destroy the universe
Step 2: make a new one

[dusk sparrow]

End goals.
If you're restarting the universe,you're not ending at its annihilation.

Why do I even need to spell this out so explicitly?

[sweet crypt]

I think the end goal was new universe?

Idk I'm not an expert at gen 4 lore

[brisk hedge]

His end goal was to destroy the current universe and build a new one

[sweet crypt]

I do remember someone pointing out how Cyrus did the exact same thing as Volo, except this time Giratina went "nuh uh"

[brisk hedge]

Volo made a deal with Giratina. Once Volo had all the plates, Giratina would get to fight Arceus

[sweet crypt]

So did Giratina go through a redemption arc or something

[brisk hedge]

Cyrus didn’t make a deal with Giratina, so Giratina took his ass to the distortion world

Though, for all we know, if Volo actually got close enough to his goal, Giratina might have betrayed him too

[sweet crypt]

Idk I feel like if Giratina looked back on the Volo plan and wanted to continue to go through with it it'd just let Cyrus do whatever he wanted and wait for Arceus to show up

[vital nacelle]

anyone know why my hex maniac advance wont open?

[smoky marlin]

Hey anyone here

[candid spindle]

opinion on hattrem

[brisk hedge]

Why tf does it learn brutal swing?

[candid spindle]

true it doesnt fit that pokemon

[sweet crypt]

Because it brutally swings at you if you dare have emotions or something idk

"No matter who you are, if you bring strong emotions near this Pokémon, it will silence you violently."
"Using the braids on its head, it pummels foes to get them to quiet down. One blow from those braids would knock out a professional boxer."
Yeah close enough

Ngl Hatterene would make a very good Dark type

But both of its current types already make sense

[sharp granite]

Cogita

Nihilego

[finite solar]

little baby

[sly ginkgo]

So apparently the Shiny Rayquaza raid is 5 stars

[unkempt egret]

yep, not a 6 thankfully

(not that there haven't been dangerous 5*'s in the past, looking at you iron leaves)

[unkempt egret]

purp

[tight granite]

because it brutally swings

reading is like a special event kinda power in the pokemon community

[tight granite]

its the move that fits it the most

[candid spindle]

oh

[unkempt egret]

brutal swing feels like a flavor move more than something you'd use on most of what gets it, which is odd since it was a TM in gen 8

(except in GO where it's a community day move for hydreigon which are usually overpowered rofl)

then again I did run physical hatterene in gen 8 because I saw the dex and assumed it was physical on top of getting an adamant one

[dark prism]

Started Renegade Platinum today. Had my ass beaten by Barry and his Piplup.

[dusk sparrow]

Not just Pokemon.
I've seen people publish, "How to Read" or "Learn to Read" mods that exist solely to punish or mock players who install them,as a gotchya to anyone who refuses to read mod descriptions.

(Chiefly in Stellaris and RimWorld.)

[flint lagoon]

in pokemon sword I was able to get a galarian corsola. decided to breed it and wonder trade the ones I was hatching cause idk. then a month or so ago I randomly got on and hatched a batch of eggs and got a shiny one

[still coyote]

i shiny hunted solosis once

900 eggs

and nothing

i quit after

[flint lagoon]

yeah this was less then 100 eggs cause I was very casual about it

I did have a ditto from another country though to breed the ditto I had with

in pokemon scarlet once I got the shiny charm I actively hunted for the past volcarona

but before the shiny charm I had already caught multiple full odds shinies

[still coyote]

i hate you

[flint lagoon]

fair

that is how luck goes. and I tend to have moments where I get very good luck in something, only to then have a period of time where I have the worst luck possible

balances out

[still coyote]

streamer luck

[flint lagoon]

pft

[next moon]

I'm trying to get a shiny of all the hisuian pokémon. Just need wyrdeer, avalugg and voltorb. Got any tips?

[flint lagoon]

having a completed pokedex should help increase the shiny odds

getting the entries for specific Pokemon helps with those ones too

[next moon]

About that

[flint lagoon]

great then

only other tip is to look for mass outbreaks

Apparently there is a way to manipulate the appearance of shinies in the mass outbreaks/massive mass outbreaks, but I don't know it

[next moon]

I know it but it's too complicated for my pea brain

[flint lagoon]

yea

but the basics of it, with the perfect Pokedex you got that means you have a 3 out of 4096 chance of finding a shiny. in mass outbreaks they make it 25 out of 4096. so combined it will give you a 28 out of 4096 chance. the 28 just means it checks for a shiny 28 times per spawn

[next moon]

The base odds are like 1/300, which are pretty good

[flint lagoon]

yup. massive mass outbreaks have more Pokemon in them, but the chance for them to be shiny is less then with regular mas outbreaks

[next moon]

I don't think that's true based on personal experience

[flint lagoon]

yeah I have no idea how the math for it works really

with both the shiny charm and all Pokemon info you get a 19 in 4096

[next moon]

Im just saying. I got two shiny starly from the same outbreak

[flint lagoon]

it's that rng luck

[next moon]

My favorite game mechanic

[flint lagoon]

I remember in a multiplayer game I used to play they had a thing with info on different drop chances for items from certain enemies and one of the enemies had an item with a drop chance of 'rngesus'

pft

[unkempt egret]

hm. glad to know that coil furret transcends IF and works just as well in the main games too

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

I think the longest I took was 3+ weeks for a shiny scolipede back when gen 5 first came out?

I forget the exact time but either that or SR'ing for a nihlego in US/UM, both took a long time

[flint lagoon]

currently I am lowkey soft resetting for a shiny starter in a brilliant diamond game

[unkempt egret]

I dunno why but this reminds me of a castlevania SoTN speedrun that had an estimate of "24 hours" partially as a joke and partially because a drop rate on a required item for the run was that bad

(they had a backup save in case they didn't get it within 40 min)

[flint lagoon]

not being very active about it, just randomly going in every now and then to soft reset for one

[unkempt egret]

nice nice, wish you luck there

probably gonna end scarlet for there since I still need to do today's daily draw and it's late

don't have too much left though, just final gym, two star leaders, one titan actually two kind of and then the endgame

that being said though eri looks to be a problem to say the least

my only fighting resists are a bunch of poisons, a snubbul (BST is blocked from going above 420) and some decently hard-hitting bugs

[flint lagoon]

my first go through scarlet was alright, but in my second playthrough, the one where I got the shiny charm on, I had funnn

[unkempt egret]

her lead is...

I think my best strat might be to debuff the toxicroak lead and then switch out to something else and set up

[flint lagoon]

I found out a jumping trick to do with the ride mon to get to places I shouldn't be

so I basically unlocked all the centers and towers I could reach without surf

I barely caught that uh rock/poison thing before fighting any gyms

and a few other high level Pokemon

and I got around the 'they won't listen' thing by just breeding them

[unkempt egret]

NP haunter is probably my best bet there

[unkempt egret]

ah yea the backwards long jump is fun

shoutouts to an early flash cannon though that's just on a spiral in south area 2 that doesn't even need that rofl

[flint lagoon]

just backwards jumping in general really

I can fly now so it's a moot point, but it did make early game travel much more fun

got all the pokedex variants completed too

thanks to my brother having violet. when I watched his house for a thing I took my game with me and did some temp trading back and forth

ended up catching a shiny uhh iron treads in his violet game

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

[flint lagoon]

honestly not a big fan of the future version's shinies. it is a bit neat, but still

[fleet zealot]

Chat try pokemon vanguard

And pokemon insurgence

[tight granite]

no

[flint lagoon]

if I tried any other pokemon rom game I would do the one where you play as a member of team rocket

other then that, I did play pokemon sardonyx for a while

it didn't have much at the time though

[dusk sparrow]

I tried Pokemon Inclement Emerald. I liked it,but my brain decided to say, "NO! RIMWORLD NOW!"

[flint lagoon]

tfw hyperfocus shifts real hard

[delicate hollow]

Has everyone pointed out that durant was named after this sports player called kevin durant?

[untold hill]

anyone*

[sweet crypt]

It isn't, it's just a durable ant

[untold hill]

||npcs should be left alone||

[coarse estuary]

do not feed the ai brained human.

[sharp granite]

I don’t even know how I have this tbh (Pokemon home not pokemon go, I will say it again: it’s flipping home, not go.)

[brisk hedge]

As someone who as never found a marked shiny, I am extremely jealous

[mighty robin]

i found a marked pokemon once

a few times actually

[unkempt egret]

I've found a few

[mighty robin]

there was a whiscash i found

and then a joltik on my team had a mark

[unkempt egret]

I have a shiny meditite with the downtrodden mark but it showed up too late into the run to use

[mighty robin]

Don't judge it, but this was my team for Sword after i beaten Raihan. The levels are 72, 66, 64, 64, 62, 62

pretty sure this was when i had King the Sociable as my "starter", lel

even though cinderace was my starter, i was determined to have a joltik on that team

shinies are a lot harder to get tho, i only have ever gotten two shinies through legal means

other times i got shinies was through trading, but considering i have never touched those DS games in a while, there's no harm

[mighty robin]

it was a zwelious in a victory road (forgot which game) and then I got the shiny in PLA

also the gyarados in lake of rage

[brisk hedge]

#1: how are you so overleveled
#2: why hasn’t your Joltic evolved

[mighty robin]

this is past tense, considering that it's 2022

anyway, the high levels are because overleveling stuff, lel

as for why it's not evolved, it's because i like it more than galvantula

in IF, I used galvantula/joltik on playthrough 25 and 27 i reuse some fusions on every third run, i can talk more about it if ya want

then i also used a joltik/shedinja fusion in run 39 because the sprite was cool

though for that specific fusion, i used the fusion galvantula/shedinja, but swapped the sprites

this is #other-pokemon-games so um

[unkempt egret]

we respect a good eviolite mon

[mighty robin]

the first games i've played was in gen iv, i played pearl, heartgold and platinum

[unkempt egret]

my last run had two of em but I was also locked on size lol

[mighty robin]

i played pokemon white and black 2, played y, sun and moon, ultra sun and ultra moon, sword and shield

and the last main game i played was pla there's an interesting story about that

[mighty robin]

i never said i used eviolite

[unkempt egret]

fair, I recall it being not on the field in gen 8

...actually now that I think about it the eviolite's always obtained from talking to an NPC outside of cram-o-matic in gen 8 dlc or buying it in gen 9 postgame

[brisk hedge]

Why are literally all of my Pokémon mild?

[sweet crypt]

Realistically, Arceus is pronounced either "Ar-kay-us" or "Ark-ay-us" depending on whether you want to look at Silvally or the Arc Phone

If the "eus" in Arceus' name stands for Deus, that is

I think I'd lean towards "Ark-ay-us" because like

Arceus itself gave us the Arc Phone

Meanwhile Silvally's RKS System was named by Aether Foundation

[brisk hedge]

Actually, it's Arkoos

[radiant leaf]

Agreed

[unkempt egret]

(pronounced "ack-reed")

[flint lagoon]

a while back I tried shiny hunting a joltik in one of the dlc areas of scarlet when I saw an outbreak of them

not a good idea

[gaunt cipher]

Unrelated but pokemon unbound is the most well made pokemon ROM hack i've ever played 🦀

And second is pokemon Gaia 🦀

[gaunt cipher]

If it was finished it would've top any romhack 🦀

[unkempt egret]

I've played through almost all of unbound's maingame? was doing a nuz and ground E4 member wrecked me lol

[coarse estuary]

yeah know im really excited to try mega ampharos in xy once i can in my try to find a random shiny playthrough shame i cant get a dragon move on it until i have 6 badges without cheating

[unkempt egret]

yea that's one of the megas you can get in XY's maingame

outside of the starters, gengar, abomasnow, aerodactyl, and I think there's another I'm missing

[quasi dagger]

i love the references in this game

[coarse estuary]

oh ik how you get it im just commenting on the fact until you get to the first snow town you cant use any dragon moves on it to utilize the mega

[brisk hedge]

Anyone have a good nickname for a Dunsparce?

[devout dome]

does anyone known how to get Pokémon Rutile Ruby

or a x and y rom hack

[sly ginkgo]

Im going to assume you meant mid

[sly ginkgo]

Yo be fair you could get better info by asking on a discord for that game
Or just a romhack server

[devout dome]

idk where to find thos tho

[lusty iris]

We dont discuss where to get this sort of content here

[brisk hedge]

No, I meant mild. As in their nature

[sly ginkgo]

Ah i was looking for that but didn’t find it the first time
Eye issue on my part

[brisk hedge]

She's mad bro

[brisk hedge]

Can someone explain to me why I’m struggling to find a Sunken

[lusty iris]

#ask-a-bot

[untold hill]

bot answers other game questions too?

[brisk hedge]

#1: this is the other Pokémon games channel
#2: I’m playing White 2
#3: The correct answer is because it only has a 5% chance of spawning in every season other than summer

[lusty iris]

Ohhh sorry

My brain is trapped in tech support for eternity

[rugged comet]

That's because sunken things are typically underwater

[brisk hedge]

GOD DAMN IT AUTO CORRECT

[coarse estuary]

2nd egg baby

[unkempt egret]

odd egg or normal egg

[brisk hedge]

Why are you celebrating over a normal Elikid

[coarse estuary]

odd egg

[coarse estuary]

look no need to be rude about me finding a shiny just because it doesnt look any different.

[brisk hedge]

I’m not insulting you I’m insulting the shiny

[coarse estuary]

well the fact you said why are you celebreating over a normal elekid made it seem like i should feel stupid for finding it because it looks no different

[unkempt egret]

could have been worded a bit better yea

[brisk hedge]

It was a joke

[coarse estuary]

jokes should be funny not an attack on someone else

[fading wolf]

Someone tell me how a millon dollar company does crappy animations, but some random Guy with free time does THIS

Mobile game BTW

[naive timber]

what million dolar company

[fading wolf]

You know, Pokemon in general? When did they do a good animation on a game?

[unkempt egret]

not their focus

[fading wolf]

True, they want money 🤑🤑

[unkempt egret]

I mean, everyone does let's be real lol

[fading wolf]

Yea

[glacial owl]

does anyone own a non-go non-shiny genesect?
i need one to be able to transfer mine into SWSH
i'll only need it for a few minutes and then i can give it back
i offer a non-shiny ATK deoxys for it

[naive timber]

probably wanted to keep nostalgia style

[fading wolf]

True

[torn kiln]

Who should I choose?

[brisk hedge]

I’d probably go with Riolu personally

[dusky fractal]

@next badge

STINKY

[unkempt egret]

well those were some rolls

most importantly for this run though is vivillon, which will probably be a better sweeper for Eri's team than haunter was going to be

at the cost of setting up much slower, it has sleep powder instead of hypnosis and hurricane for STAB

the other ones were "decent but not great" (volbeat, crocolator, corvisquire, luxio) to eh (drlizzle), to fantastic (gligar) to... delibird.

[vivid forge]

in pokerogue

should i go for the arceus up or shiny up

an arceus sounds kinda cool but idk

[coarse estuary]

my final crystal team is completed. (i genned in the hitmontop and some level 1 and egg moves so i had decent attacks for it )

[untold hill]

I forgot electabuzz can't evolve

[coarse estuary]

yeah in og gen 2 you cant get electivire. if i was playing hgss i could but i am not

[unkempt egret]

probably in postgame

buzz is still serviceable though

[sharp granite]

My luck is too good man, I cant get the fucking normal charizard ex

[unkempt egret]

meanwhile I just pulled this so I can finally focus on mewtwo packs

[fading wolf]

Wanna see some more animations that are WAY better that Pokemon ones? Idc, just have a look at them 😉

[unkempt egret]

can taste the bitterness in your tone

[sharp granite]

Those games are laced with scams and bad controversy, not to mention the scummy practices! There’s actually a really neat video about it!

https://youtu.be/4bOBba4w8p4?si=wxQLrGkCcc19nv8e

[fading wolf]

Saw It already, ik all that, but, its on the app store now... Idm if that changes anything, and if It doesnt, idc, It just looks cool

[sharp granite]

Yeah I said that mainly for people here to know, the animations are good but I believe everyone here values outweigh the enticing artwork

[fading wolf]

Thats nice of you👍

[naive timber]

what game is it

[sharp granite]

Watch the video

[ornate scarab]

imo, long animations in games for battles are worse than shorter ones

especially when theres a bunch of turns per battle

its cool the first time but then you see it for the 50th time and its just

[fading wolf]

I mean, true

[fading wolf]

You can download It, its on the app store, the name is Pocket Arena

[naive timber]

alr

[coarse estuary]

just shared my crystal team on some reddit i dont remember the name of earlier and just got a message back saying why are you sharing this you are using pokemon that arent the best for this region you should only share if you make actual teams and not teams of slop. i was be wildered and befuddled

[ashen ruin]

oh thats

kinda tough

i don't think i've used popplio

i chose alola

complete accident lmao

probably shoulda done a mega evolving one but idc

[ashen ruin]

dawg i've only played for 5 minutes and i already have a team of decent pokemon that aren't repeating types

i just need to level them up

[unkempt egret]

huh apparently savannah biome just has level 55-65 chansies rofl

endgame grinding in scarlet just got easier I guess

[coarse estuary]

quit before you loose your sanity. rad red is sooo dumb. it forces the player to have the best team with the best evs/ivs and best moves/ability/held item combo our you just suffer or hours on end

[sharp granite]

I caught a shiny hatterene and decided to match her fr fr (we're on the top of a mountain)

[faint star]

What game is this @ashen ruin

[sweet crypt]

It's not that hard

I think my first clear didn't really have proper items or a good team comp

[fluid blaze]

Is this aura

[sweet crypt]

I do definitely remember EV training though

So I'll give you that

[fluid blaze]

I haven't touched my switch in a while ignore the funny marks

[sweet crypt]

Tbh, the only part of RR that I dislike fully is the E4

Agatha fr pulled up with Marshadow and Caly-S

Bruno weaponising pre nerf Zacian-C

I think Lorelei has a random teamstyle between TR with Caly-I or Rain with Kyogre

Then again it was quite a while since I've checked so maybe it's not AS absurd anymore

OK Lorelei's Caly-I team doesn't use TR

Does use Aurora Veil though

OK was mixing up some of the normal mode details with hardcore mode details

That said, Bruno still has a fucking pre nerf Zacian-C so

I get hardcore mode should be hardcore but bro why did Bruno pull up with both Galar dogs and NDM

Why does Lance as a dragon trainer have Melmetal, Fairyceus and Deoxys Speed

Dw he isn't lacking strong Dragon types, he has Primal Dialga and Mega Rayquaza lmfao

Thankfully Agatha uses MMX

The reason I'm thankful is because it could've been MMY

Yveltal and Caly-S though

I want to point out that Champion Blue has an Eternamax Eternatus with Levitate and Recover

As well as Extreme Killer Arceus, Ultra Necrozma and Primal Kyogre

Tbf I could mention their extremely strong Pokemon that aren't legendaries but I'm actually OK with those?

I mean at least it makes sense, those are just normal Pokemon that happen to be strong

But where did these mfs get 2 Necrozmas, Eternatus, 2 Arceus, Lunala, Solgaleo, Rayquaza, Dialga, Deoxys, Melmetal, Calyrex, Spectrier, Mewtwo, Victini, Zarude, Yveltal, Urshifu, Zacian, Zamazenta, Landorus, Kyurem, Reshiram, Tapu Fini, Genesect, Palkia, the Adamant Orb, the Lustrous Orb, the Ultranecrozium-Z and a Blue Orb?

Like 60% of the time they don't even match a type speciality

Tbf, it's not like these mfs were doing that anyways

In base Kanto

But those times it's more so due to a lack of options

Unless you want Agatha to use 6 Gengars on her team and nothing else

What I'm trying to say is that I don't mind them using legendaries and stuff but like

At least TRY to limit the number

And try to be a bit more logical

"I'm a Dragon type trainer hehe >:)"

• Proceeds to lead with Deoxys-Speed

And it's not like Deoxys is the only one on the team not a Dragon, no

He also has Fairyceus and Melmetal

I somewhat get Melmetal, to fight off any of the Ice and Fairy types that one may bring for a Dragon type fight

I think that's a good example of how to use Pokemon that share 0 resemblance to a type speciality

Another example is the hardcore Jasmine miniboss using Tapu Bulu

Not only does it directly deter Ground types, but Grassy Terrain halves the main Ground STAB, Earthquake

But when it's just "random legendary go!" I'm definitely not a fan

Especially when it's done multiple times per team

Once again, I get that hardcore is meant to be hardcore, but this is a little much

[unkempt egret]

...oh the subby TM is only available after eri

...unless you're in pay2win mode in which case it's in the blueberry shop (which I am rofl)

[sweet crypt]

Man I'm good at typing 50 thousand messages in a row

[unkempt egret]

alright eri down. that was very mean but I've had major issues with her fight in the past

the substitute wasn't needed at least

pachirisu is quickly turning into the Cheese MVP of the team lol

by just debuffing dangerous targets with charm and eerie impulse

ROFL

good going arven

got hit by a crit dragon pulse and died basically instantly

...while the titan was at -4 special attack.

[untold hill]

I love the essay writing contests yall have over here

[unkempt egret]

...I stg this thing is literally at 1 HP rofl

taps it with ice shard* "there we go."

ROFL WHAT

"what? chainsaw is evolving!" *spawns a second snover right next to mine

[ashen ruin]

I've played and beat almost every difficulty hack that's just about as hard as it

(like emerald kaizo and run & bun)

[quasi dagger]

why is dartrix not a flying type in legends arceus?

rowlet was, then i evolved it and it lost the flying type

[ashen ruin]

hi have you considered the fact that you're going blind

[quasi dagger]

yeah but it was getting hit by bulldoze

[coarse estuary]

perhaps roost was being used which removes a flying type from the user of roost

[quasi dagger]

holy shit does it really

that would make some sense

[unkempt egret]

aaaah yea that'd do it

the oft-forgotten secondary effect of roost, since it ain't just a straight Recover clone

[brisk hedge]

And they say that Pokémon is a kids game

[quasi dagger]

yeah i just thought it was recover for birds

good to know then

[vivid forge]

im playing pokerogue

any tips on how to get more vouchers

win more runs

and get stronger pokemon (i want zacian)

[unkempt egret]

winning runs using more unique pokemon is how you get the vouchers faster

not mons that are interesting, just ones that you haven't used before since mons that have clears don't give vouchers

almost every mon with a baby form will also give a voucher for the baby when cleared so you can use some of them as a 2-for-1 deal

[sweet crypt]

Something something rule 6

[sweet crypt]

Play more, hatch more eggs, get more egg moves, win

The devs are trying to make some egg moves less of an instawin

But they only succeed 70% of the time

And they still haven't targeted down some of the less balanced ones

I see a lot of people complaining that they can't just select a singular cheap Pokemon, spam a singular move and win instantly when they still can if they look hard enough

(Slight hyperbole)

And even then, I don't see why one would complain that the game isn't braindead anymore

[valid quail]

I'm very confused

oh my bad

[glad kestrel]

Hullo

[desert coral]

I started playing pocket tcg last night and I already feel like I won

[unkempt egret]

that's The Gauntlet down

sac'ed hakamo-o on Geeta because if it used earth power on the switch (it didn't) then that would have OHKO'ed A-dugtrio, which would have pretty much been an instant wipe on the spot and I wasn't willing to risk that (A-Duggy needed an expert belt to OHKO so focus sash was out of the question)

just five more fights (clive, penny, arven, True nemona, and the final boss) left

out of those i'm pretty sure True nemona's gonna be the trickiest even if I have measures for her cat

[unkempt egret]

rip clive, full-team swept by vivillon

penny down. I should probably stop using A-dugtrio for a bit, they're getting too strong.

[brisk hedge]

What is that face 😂

[unkempt egret]

yeaaaa I was like "???" on that one too

[ashen ruin]

why ledyba bro 💀

it's not even super high odds, its just 32/65536

[unkempt egret]

WHAT

nice ability, arven you dingus

so turns out that mylecium might can't bypass insomnia

[ashen ruin]

thanks

[unkempt egret]

you do get put to sleep but you just instantly wake up

also nice job on the ledyba! could probably be a good screens setter if you lean into that

[ashen ruin]

its one of the worst flying types ever ;-;

[unkempt egret]

yea it's flying talent is... bad rofl

[ashen ruin]

stats wise mainly, and baton pass isn't a thing in this anyway

[unkempt egret]

rip

(also for context on the ability I'm fighting arven right now in a scarlet run)

[ashen ruin]

light screen reflect encore tailwind 💀

its speed is just not good enough and its physical defense is abysmal

ok fighting brock

in raddd red

one tapped alolan geodude besides sturdy

half the team down

air balloon varoom...

interesting

down

only one mon left on his team

i assume this is kinda the tutorial

boom bullet seed

brock down!

misty cap is 27 according to this

bro. his passion for battle itches

weirdo

[unkempt egret]

gotta love multi-hit moves bypassing sturdy

(bonemerang my beloved)

[ashen ruin]

nvm level cap is underleveled from here out

22 vs 27, 28 vs 34, etc

makes sense

oooo wild pokemon level boost i like it

route 3 has level 12s and stuff

[unkempt egret]

"if I had a nickel for every champion fight that opened up with a lycanroc instantly setting stealth rock I'd have two nickels. it's not much but strange that it happened twice..."

[orchid barn]

I haven’t even been playing for a week yet.

[ashen ruin]

woah woah back away

[unkempt egret]

the hell?

apparently the dugtrios LOST aerial ace access in gen 9 after having it in every previous gen

that pretty heavily torpedo's my plan for sada damn

[tight granite]

damn pay to win

sad

[unkempt egret]

I should be able to still make this work with vivillon rather than volbeat I guess

[orchid barn]

Bro I’ve only spent $40 on the game

[tight granite]

only lul

[brisk hedge]

Or RNGesus was kind

[tight granite]

its not an or

they did pay lul

[orchid barn]

$40 barely gets you anything

[tight granite]

i can muy multiple games for that

[orchid barn]

I mostly spent the money for the Gardivour stuff tbh

Like the mat and sleeves

[tight granite]

i still dont have a gradveoir but like 5 mewtwo ex luuul

[orchid barn]

Damn. I pulled 2

[tight granite]

ah i dont like any of the coin and mat designs so i didnt get me anything yet

[orchid barn]

That’s fair af

I just love Gardi so much. One of my top 3 Pokémon

[tight granite]

yeah im at 600 cards, only doing the free daily packs, not even using my hourglasses lul

[orchid barn]

I’ve used all my hourglasses lol

[tight granite]

im at around 360

[orchid barn]

I’m at like 810 or something cards?

That’s intense

Saving up for 10x draws on the next packs?

[tight granite]

and around 400 of the golden hourglasses cause i dont really ever need em for the wonderpicks

[orchid barn]

I never like my options in wonderpicks

[tight granite]

nah i just dont like using things

[orchid barn]

Fair lol

[tight granite]

i also collect potions ingames

[orchid barn]

That’s so funny. My bestfriend is the same way

[brisk hedge]

If you use them then you won’t have them

[tight granite]

depends on the day i usually always pick the ex card in the pack, got a zapdos ex and some others via it too

[tight granite]

yep so i wont

[orchid barn]

That’s fair

[tight granite]

still dont have a single 2 star card tho luul

[orchid barn]

I got the full art Alakzam from a wonder-pick

[tight granite]

but have 2 3 star (both are the mewwto full art lul)

[orchid barn]

I’ve only pulled the one gold card so far

[tight granite]

gold cards are above 3 stars

[orchid barn]

Yea they’re crown

I want the other two just cause I want the full collection

[tight granite]

could buy em

i also dont use my card points lul, even tho i could just buy gardevoir now

[orchid barn]

I’m glad they’re giving out 36 hourglasses soon

If yo don’t use those yo loose them

[tight granite]

mmh?

[orchid barn]

So you might want to spend the card points

[tight granite]

why would i lose em

[orchid barn]

That’s what someone on TikTok said from the game creator

[tight granite]

defintily a believeable source

[orchid barn]

Once the new packs come out, the points won’t transfer

Okay.. don’t take my word for it.

Do the research

Someone completed the whole collection, but it cost them $1500

That’s INSANE

[tight granite]

yeah i did they dont expire

litterly just a google lul

from the officall pokemon site

all it says is the points can only be used for the packs you got em in, which is expected

so you cant use the ones gained in A1 for the Mew Pack

you just have to earn new points for that pack

[unkempt egret]

I may as well just use them to grab meltan/melmetal then since I'm done with the zard packs and they refused to drop lol

also scarlet's done. not too bad though furret got a crit scare.

[tight granite]

i finished none

but i do have melmetal and meltan

i am only looking right now for a second Sabrina, a full Art Misty (cause it looks very mm good) and a Gardveoir cause i just dont feel like byuing em

[fallow knot]

i can't figure out wtf that god damn pokemon hack is

hoodlumcallum played it and i want to

it had the wood type as a starter

[pliant pawn]

So out of random curiosity I was looking around for stuff about Southern Kalos, as learned of in the teraleak, and I happen across... this

first of all sick art, but second, lmao

little did anyone know

[fallow knot]

help please

[valid quail]

anyone have a litten or one of the litten line I could trade for in violet?

[unkempt egret]

I can probably breed one up really quickly? @valid quail

[valid quail]

that would be amazing thank you

and if ur willing any other starters you can't get base game

but I don't wanna eat up a bunch of ur time

[unkempt egret]

I just finished up a randomizer run so they're probably all conveniently single-file in the rando order rofl

[valid quail]

how u do that

[unkempt egret]

either way I'll ping you again when I'm done

[unkempt egret]

basically using HOME to get mons and then use random.org to roll which one replaces an encounter

took a while to set up lol

[valid quail]

and that's something you can do with the actual game?

[unkempt egret]

if you have HOME yea

thankfully you don't need to have it on every account, just one of them since home can access the save files of other switch profiles even if they don't have online themselves

also I like how my default sandwich for eggs in gen 9 is just a peanut butter and banana sandwich

(it can sometimes be a PB&J as a treat)

also playing a FR game on the side I forgot that vanilla route 22 doesn't have a youngster just blocking the grass patch like IF does lol

[valid quail]

IF?

[unkempt egret]

Infinite Fusions

[valid quail]

ohhh

that makes sense

I'm slow sometimes

[unkempt egret]

@valid quail getting close to done, be ready with about 24 pokemon to trade

[valid quail]

oh jesus okay

thank you

[unkempt egret]

@valid quail ready to trade, just ping me when you're ready as well

[valid quail]

I gotta get a few more mons

[unkempt egret]

got it. anything works so don't worry about getting anything specific

[valid quail]

I released all of my non shiny mons a few days ago, so I'm running around cortondo catching everything I see lmao

@unkempt egret oki you said 24 right?

does that include froakie? cause I've already got him

[unkempt egret]

that does yes

[valid quail]

oki so 23

I'm ready then

[unkempt egret]

2793 5087 is the room code

in-game name is Neo

[valid quail]

oki doki

yep

[unkempt egret]

aight. just gonna delete that in case it was personal but thanks for the confirmation lol

[valid quail]

nah it's good lol

@unkempt egret would u also be able to give a pokemon the apple for hydrapple? do u have one? if not that's oki just thought I'd ask since you've been so awesome

[unkempt egret]

I can probably go grab that one once we're done with most of these

[valid quail]

you don't gotta, but that would be really really amazing

[unkempt egret]

gonna hop out after this one to grab it

[sweet crypt]

Question: What does Lugia do for any of the Johto games' stories?

It's kinda just a big bird(?) that has a fancy title that doesn't match with its type

That is an outdated wall in an Ubers standpoint

[unkempt egret]

alright throwing up the password again, 2793, 5087

@valid quail got the items

also not sure? makes sense since I don't think lugia was supposed to be in the games at first since wasn't it created for the second movie?

but someone liked it so much they added it in as a counterpart to ho-oh

[valid quail]

tysm

Is there anything I can offer you in return?

[unkempt egret]

not really, anything works

[valid quail]

I take it shinies probably aren't the most valuable thing when you can mod the game

[unkempt egret]

you said you already have sobble right?

and it's not outright modding so a shiny would be nice if you have it but not needed

[valid quail]

froakie, sobble is the only gen 8 I don't have actually

and I have all 3 gen 9s

[unkempt egret]

ah. in that case they're coming over lol

oooh that's one I don't have yet, thanks!

especially since I have scarlet so I can't get them normally

[valid quail]

ooooo I gotchu

I've got multiple of all except valiant

[unkempt egret]

nice. I haven't hunted most of the past paradoxes yet lol

[valid quail]

I have SEVEN jugulis

[unkempt egret]

I have bonnet, shocks, and I think a roaring moon?

oh right the other one has the TM you need to get hydrapple

[valid quail]

it's a TM?

[unkempt egret]

yea the apple's for dipplin and the TM's for hydrapple

[valid quail]

also sobble should be the final one

[unkempt egret]

yep

[valid quail]

oooo oki

[unkempt egret]

for the best since I gotta head off to bed

[valid quail]

alrighty! glad to give what I could, and thank you so very much

[unkempt egret]

you're welcome.

I got a lotta mons to train up both with these three and the nuz run being over but for now I rest. nite!

[valid quail]

goodnight!

[coarse estuary]

I've decided to casually replay Ultra Sun since it's really been speaking to me lately. However, when looking at YouTube playthroughs or old Reddit team posts for ideas on what to use, why does 99.99% of people seem to use Incineroar? Why can't I find any teams that don't include Incineroar? And if I do, it's usually someone saying they only picked another starter because they didn’t want to use Incineroar for two games in a row, or they get a comment saying they should have picked Incineroar. Why is this the case?

[dim kestrel]

cause incineroar is broken lol

it has intimidate which is one of the best abilities in the franchise (unless the meta has changed and it isnt i dont follow competitive)

[digital root]

well in a playthough It would have blaze

[unkempt egret]

I used pop but it got blown up because nuz so my real starter was furfrou lol

I do know popplio got nerfed a bit by losing access to stupidly early scald

[hard plume]

I hope they didn't take away bouncy bubble

That move helped me out in one run

[unkempt egret]

???

[digital root]

Pokerogue?

[unkempt egret]

(this is about US/UM, unless you're thinking of pokerogue yea)

[sweet crypt]

The ironic thing is, not only is Intimidate Incin event only in Gen 7 iirc, but Incin is pretty darn bad in Singles, which is the format mainline games go with

If one would pick their starter based on how good it is in USUM, they'd pick Primarina

[dim kestrel]

oh wow i did not know that

[sweet crypt]

Intimidate is a GOATed ability still though

Even in Singles

It's part of why Lando-T is consistently a top 5 Pokemon, if not top 1

That and the type, the stats, the movepool etc

Imagine if Lando-T had an actually usable physical Flying move

[unkempt egret]

it could also be everyone picked prim in SM and decidueye is even worse so they went litten for variety

[sweet crypt]

I think people don't pick on viability

I think people just either pick Incin 2nd or 3rd

[unkempt egret]

yea, hence variety

[sweet crypt]

I feel like Decidueye is definitely the most popular Alola starter

[unkempt egret]

or to be specific, rowlet is lol

I wouldn't doubt a lot of people going the anime route and everstoning it

[woven sentinel]

Hey guys, if there was 1 complete pokemon fan game on the pc that you said is a must play during Christmas Vacation, what would it be?

[wooden frigate]

Crystal Clear

[coarse estuary]

well after playing some and getting to the first trial ive decided 4 pokemon ima use are decidueye, vikavolt, alakazam and totem sized salazzle

[vocal relic]

Anyone here played Radical Red?

[coarse estuary]

well it seems the site i was using for totem sticker mon gifts had salazzle and marowak backwards so i guess im using 2 ghost types this playthrough. with totem sized alola wak

[young pewter]

Anyone know a good pokemon emerald rom thats safe to download to do a randomized run in?

[vague moon]

Uh elite redux can be randomized

But its a difficulty rom

4 abilities on each mon

Redux variants of mons

[young pewter]

Oof.

[vague moon]

Easy mode isn't that hard, easier then radical red

[orchid barn]

My lucky day!!

[boreal storm]

Is there two mewtwo or there's only one mewtwo since mewtwo has two mega evo and one look more masculine while the other one was more feminine and some mewtwo appearance came with male va like Mewtwo Strikes Back while some came with female va like Genesect and the Legend Awakened and the fact that Mewtwo in Genesect movie don't remember Ash prove this(yeah I know some movie isn't canon but that's not fun)

Also I found this cool clip, idk where does this came from but I think it's not fanmade because it looks too good to be a fanmade

[untold hill]

I mean, they're mega mewtwo-

[boreal storm]

Ok but I really want to know where that cip cane from

[untold hill]

Maybe Hoopa movie.

I don't know but, a pokemon movie, I suppose.

[boreal storm]

Yeah maybe, I remember that also the movie that show a little clip of Lugia fighting with HoOh

[signal wyvern]

Not surethis is the channel for it, but anyone know a good place to get pokemon roms?

[untold hill]

There

[lusty iris]

Dont talk about it in this server

Its against our rules

[coarse estuary]

yah know when i decided to do all the non catching pokemon parts of the post game in my ultra sun replay i thought it would be a good idea until i remembered there are things like specific time of day events and the fact i cant face gladeon in a title defense match until one real life month after i beat the game

[delicate hollow]

Admit it, as a kid did you think charizard and gyarados were dragon types?
I got really confused when I found out that gyarados is a water flying type despite having no wings though it floats in the battle sprite and 3d model

And most recently when the evolutionary line for smoliv is grass and normal despite having no traits of "normal" in it

[coarse estuary]

i did not think that gyara or char were dragon because when i first got pokemon i knew how to read

[delicate hollow]

Also when I first played Platinum I thought luxio and luxray were electric and dark then with sun and moon me thinking fomantis and lurantis was a bug type NOT grass as it's clearly an insect

[sweet crypt]

Then clearly, Lurantis' disguise has worked

[sweet crypt]

Yeah a lot of the Normal/[type] things don't make much sense to me

And funnily enough that's why I remember them

Because they're a bit weird

[coarse estuary]

this just is examples of people who dont care to read the text to learn the game then be confused when they thought something was true even though the game told you otherwise and you just didnt read it

[sweet crypt]

I've said it once and I'll say it again

If Luxray were to get a secondary type, both Psychic and Fairy would make more sense than Dark

Luxray has like 0 things linking it to the dark type apart from looking mean and you know what they say about not judging books by their cover

It is linked quite a lot to light, and Psychic and Fairy tend to represent light

Though, I think pure Electric works best for Luxray

[coarse estuary]

tbh i hate those did you guys also think x mon was x types instead of what type or types they are posts because its like no. this should never be a thing that should happen because the game gives you all the tools you need to figure out the types each mon is so if you go long periods of time thinking x mon is a dfferent type or types than it is then you should get your reading ability checked imo

[sweet crypt]

Also, even from a competitive standpoint, physical Psychic and Fairy options are complete and utter dogshit

God I fucking hate Play Rough

What an absolutely fraudulent move

And don't even get me started on Zen Headbutt

Ig there's like Psychic Fangs now for Psychic which is pretty decent ig

But the only other physical Fairy moves are Magical Torque (lmfao) and Spirit Break, a move on 2 Pokemon that is also ass

[coarse estuary]

that too. like if you are going to make physical fairy types at least give them more than 2 moves to use as attack that not even all the physiscal fairy types can learn

[rugged comet]

Is it the accuracy?

[sweet crypt]

Not the accuracy by itself

Inaccurate moves can be good

Just that Play Rough is inaccurate yet only has 90 BP

Most 90 BP moves you'll see people consider good are fully accurate

And most 90% accuracy moves you see people consider good have a great secondary effect (think Ceaseless Edge) or higher BP

Play Rough has like what, a 10% chance to lower Attack?

Zen Headbutt is even wors

Still 90% accuracy

But now its power is 80, fucking 80

Its like Rock Slide but slightly higher power with a way worse offensive type

And people love to shittalk Rock Slide

[coarse estuary]

bro fairy sucks if you have a physicial attacker. 99% of fairy type physical moves are either a g max/dynamax move z move or a exclusive move for a mon

i knew physical fairy sucked didnt know it was that bad

[sweet crypt]

Fairy physical moves are
Magical Torque ( 💀 )
Spirit Break (Learnt by 2 mons and is ass)
Play Rough (Learnt by every Pokemon that isn't a physical Fairy type, ass)

Seriously though, Play Rough is never on a Pokemon whose primary goal is to hit physical Fairy STAB moves

Koko, Bulu, Iron Val

None of these have Play Rough

Why

[coarse estuary]

i hope in za or gen 10 we get the respect on physical fairy types we deserve

[sweet crypt]

I bet you even forgot Koko was a physical attacker

With how it only runs special sets

[coarse estuary]

naw i know koko is physiscal because i play way too much alola lol

[rugged comet]

Never would have guessed with that pfp

[coarse estuary]

ik crazy. (still baffles me how people cant figure out my favorite pokemon even when i point out my pfp)

[sweet crypt]

Ah, so it's Swellow?

[coarse estuary]

actually its g max toxtricity low key form

[sleek jewel]

I win

[tight granite]

that d be very stronk

and its a basic mon

[unkempt egret]

it is coinflips though and it can backfire against something that doesn't need a lot of energy to do what it does

still good though

[lyric dust]

Yo does anyone have an old randomized heart gold soul silver rom they could send me.

my team is finally fully evolved and complete. let me know what you think. bonus points if you can name what the nickname of my toxapex is referencing

[coarse estuary]

Any guesses

[gritty timber]

third life i think it was? might be completely wrong

[coarse estuary]

That is correct. It is a reference to third life

[gritty timber]

[coarse estuary]

Too many people are guessing it's a reference to castle crashers

[boreal storm]

What caption should I put

[dusty lance]

sooooo.... Pokemon Godra... allegedly has a disord.... yeah, how to gwt there?

[dry chasm]

New type swap game dropped recently

Hodgepodge

[dark prism]

Anyone have a good nickname for my Riolu?

[dull hazel]

This week was good

[sharp granite]

Never enough. Pokemon home

[delicate hollow]

Do we not have a fangame with 18 gyms to cover all 18 types?
Come on we need that, well I do actually but heres another thing I wanna include; make it so that every new game/playthrough has a “procedurally generated or random generated map/layout so the puzzles are different in every playthrough or new game, lets say there is 5 possible changes for starters then the new update adds even more to the total.
Also if you want the elite 4 to be “themed” instead of type based, for instance one of them has a jungle theme with grass, bug and flying types and the other has a tech theme with electric and steel types etc.
Do you like that idea of mine?

[sweet crypt]

I've already made multiple gym leaders and e4 members with teams based around a theme instead of a type

Take a guess

As long as gym leaders are completely monotype, they will serve 0 challenge in a non challenge run playthrough

At least, assuming you know what you're doing

And are not a 10 year old playing their first Pokemon game, whining about a weirdly fast cow or a land shark that is like a jet that is somehow only 3 base points faster than said cow

Even now most champions are easy regardless of type specialty or not

But those ones are simply AI issues

(Except for the part where some of them use pretty bad Pokemon. Spiritomb? Veluza? Lmfao)

(I will say, Spiritomb is way too weak considering how tedious it usually is to get)

[unkempt egret]

I see pokemon like kirby: the difficulty lies in getting 100% (though in pokemon's case it's more tedious than difficult) and the maingame is a fun romp through the meadow doing whatever you want (and occasionally night sets and monsters come out but you're still overequipped to handle)

[sweet crypt]

I personally don't care too much about it being easy

But I know many, MANY people do

Which is why I mention this

They'd need a really massive AI update to make a battle properly hard imo

Sure, you can give someone good EVS and items, but if they only have a set option for every turn they play, you can easily play around that

That said it'd be pretty difficult to make a properly good AI

But like imagine you have a Magnezone in on a Garchomp

And you swap out, only for it to use Swords Dance

I sure hope your ice type is Weavile or a banded Ice Shard user or you're screwed

And yes, Weavile lives Garchomp EQ
252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Weavile: 232-274 (82.5 - 97.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Not by much though so I probably could've given a better example

Well, that actually brings me to another problem with making a Pokemon game hard

If Garchomp does go for Earthquake, and you know it will, you could just

Give Weavile the Air Balloon

As long as you have this sort of knowledge on the opposing team, it's trivial to counterteam them and win

Though, I don't know if most players do that

I'd be betting on no

[unkempt egret]

the fact that weavile lives that at all is impressive imo
