lyric radish
oh shiii
sweet crypt
High physical defence quad resist flying
lyric radish
do i catch cobalion
sweet crypt
So simply win the 50/50 with Zap Cannon
primal ore
it lives a descent yeah
lyric radish
i got 15 rouge balls but ima catch eturn this run too
sweet crypt
If Rayquaza has V Create, give up
primal ore
if i swap magnezone ivy swaps in volt absorb electivire
sweet crypt
if i swap magnezone ivy swaps in volt absorb electivire
May be exploitable
Does your Excadrill have Rapid Spin?
Maybe you can use that to outspeed Rayquaza coming back in to land some chip hits
primal ore
no
sweet crypt
Darn
primal ore
like if there was vcs here id stream it
sweet crypt
New plan: Restart and make sure you don't just instalose to Rival 145 or 195
Imo these are the hardest stages in classic
So if you can get past them, chances are you get past everything
primal ore
i havent gotten past 145
lyric radish
new plan: restart and have a glass cannon with a ice type move 🙂
primal ore
floatzel?
lyric radish
bunary too
sweet crypt
Taxel Sneasel
lyric radish
Taxel mega lopunny does work
sweet crypt
Ig Taxel Mlop
But I doubt Lopunny KOs without Mega
And I think without Mega it gets outsped
And fishing for luck with mega stones before 145 sucks
I fucking hate it
lyric radish
i normaly got 1-2 mega before 145
sweet crypt
I normally get 0
lyric radish
payday meowth then you just reroll once every loot table unless you get somthing rly goot or carbos
sweet crypt
Got the mega stone at 199 despite having high luck and constantly rerolling
lyric radish
RIP
sweet crypt
The entire run was misery
lyric radish
i got map at 140 this run im on ...
sweet crypt
I only use Megas if I have another hard carry or if I happen to get one coincidentally
The latter only happens when I use Scizor because Scizor is the main Pokemon that just carries its weight, mega or not
If you are struggling with 145 you may want to reset the run because 195 is 145 on crack
sweet crypt
I think the only other ice move on that team is
Taxel from TM on Meows
And ig Mountain Gale as an Excadrill egg move but lmao
lyric radish
he must create another run hatch eggs get Mgale then memory mush it only exca XD
lyric radish
W
sweet crypt
Idk if you can use memory mushrooms to remember egg moves on wild caught pokemon
lyric radish
i think you can might be wrong tho
sweet crypt
I mean, I think I tried to memory mushroom a Pinsir I caught on my Mono Moth run before realising "oh right, moth only" and released it
And I don't remember seeing the egg moves on it
primal ore
nvm her baxcalibur just outspeeds everything i have ig
sweet crypt
nvm her baxcalibur just outspeeds everything i have ig
Damn, Baxcalibur?
That's garbage RNG
primal ore
yeah :/
sweet crypt
That's probably one of the worst Pokemon Ivy can roll (for you, amazing for her)
lyric radish
ive never had problems with bax
sweet crypt
Maybe because you were using fucking Rayquaza
Who outspeeds and OHKOs it
Which is like no shit you wouldn't struggle with bax
sweet crypt
That's like using Miraidon and saying that Ivy's Mega Rayquaza is easy because your Miraidon folded it
lyric radish
idk if you saw but my miraidon had +spd -atk nature and rising voltage 🙂
lyric radish
rly?
lyric radish
magne if he outspeeds
primal ore
he wont it has flower trick
sweet crypt
"The odds of getting a rare egg move are 1/6 for legendary eggs, 1/12 for epic eggs, 1/24 for rare eggs, and 1/48 for common eggs."
Quoted from the Pokerogue wiki
primal ore
nvm i die to leaf storm
sweet crypt
Magnezone definitely is outsped by Meows
Magnezone is like 60+ speed
Meows is 120+
lyric radish
your meow is prob slower too couse carbs
sweet crypt
I assume you went Meowscarada?
sweet crypt
Meowscarada mirror match was the only way it could end
Faster one wins
End of story
lyric radish
time to fight alder
sweet crypt
Alder has Volcarona and Zekrom
primal ore
huh
sweet crypt
Those are probably his biggest threats
primal ore
theres an alder fight?
lyric radish
start by missing 2 95% acc moves in a row
sweet crypt
If Zekrom rolls Bolt Beak and gets a Dragon Dance that's very scary
lyric radish
theres an alder fight?
on 182 184 186 188 there is a Efour and you fight their champion on 190
primal ore
ok
lyric radish
i got alder's efour and him
primal ore
and then 195 is ivy again right?
lyric radish
mhm
lyric radish
and paradoxes only on 190+
sweet crypt
But the boss there is a bit of a fucking idiot
primal ore
200 is emax eternatus
lyric radish
But the boss there is a bit of a fucking idiot
real
sweet crypt
And loves using resisted moves
lyric radish
200 is emax eternatus
no
primal ore
oh
lyric radish
you need to beat normal to even try to beat emax
lyric radish
yo?!
sweet crypt
If you are really worried about Emax, bring stuff like Leech Seed, Soak+Toxic, Salt Cure, Curse etc
lyric radish
he might clutch
sweet crypt
Keep in mind, base Eternatus has 130 speed and 145 SpA
It is actually quite a lot more hard hitting than Emax
lyric radish
can gliscor survive etern...
sweet crypt
Of course, it is far more frail
lyric radish
sweet crypt
130 speed is also insanely fast
Your fastest Pokemon, Meowscarada, is 123 base speed
sweet crypt
Might live one non Eternabeam hit
But Gliscor's base SpD is quite low and you can see that here
lyric radish
thats what i need im poison heal 2x shell bell and 2 leftovers ill heal 100%
lyric radish
if i do good dmg it can be
primal ore
oh i forgot abt gym leaders lmao
lyric radish
i also got spicky sheil for the lefties and poison to work more
sweet crypt
Yeah you should be able to stall Etern out apart from Eternabeam and maybe Dmax Cannon
At least, until it starts getting SpA boosts
lyric radish
found a gouging fire
lyric radish
LMAO i got gouging fire in 4 normal pokeballs
primal ore
good shit
lyric radish
does gliscord tank fly from mega ray???
sweet crypt
does gliscord tank fly from mega ray???
Plausible
Gliscor has high physical bulk
Depends on Rayquaza's stat boosts, items etc
sweet crypt
Yeah he evidently does not have like 50 million sharp beaks
Half the time I roll up to Mega Ray it has like
An incomprehensible amount of sharp beaks
lyric radish
freeze dry hurts from milotic....
sweet crypt
No shit that's a quad SE move
lyric radish
XD
sweet crypt
That's like cutting off your leg and then being surprised that it hurts
lyric radish
An incomprehensible amount of sharp beaks
he has 0 btw
sweet crypt
he has 0 btw
Lucky
lyric radish
i mean if did alot i would just protect then attack
sweet crypt
I mean, even just 5 Sharp Beaks is already just absurd damage boost (100%)
Fly is probably Mega Ray's least threatening Flying STAB
lyric radish
ye
sweet crypt
Partially because it contend with Dascent, Hurricane and I think Aeroblast too
lyric radish
hurricane 💀
sweet crypt
I still don't know what that move is
Hurricane misses a lot but god fucking damn does it break holes in teams
Hurricane probably OHKOd your Gliscor tbh
Special attack and high power
primal ore
hurricane is the bane of my existance
sweet crypt
Paradoxes aren't legendaries but alright
And at least in this game they certainly don't have the catch rate to match
lyric radish
Paradoxes aren't legendaries but alright
it was iron boulder
idc what you say he is a legend
sweet crypt
Still not a legendary
lyric radish
its a version of a legend
sweet crypt
Is Blood Moon Ursaluna a legendary?
primal ore
do the paradoxs of legendaries not count as legendaries
sweet crypt
do the paradoxs of legendaries not count as legendaries
I don't care what other people say, they don't
lyric radish
they do
sweet crypt
Paradoxes in Gen 9 are like what UBs are in Gen 7 in terms of mechanics
lyric radish
i survived eternabeam and OHKO normal eturnatus....
sweet crypt
And as far as I am concerned, neither are legendaries
Unless explicitly stated otherwise
Like for example
The 2 bullshit bikes
They're so minmaxed it's almost funny
sweet crypt
(I actually like them a lot tbf)
sweet crypt
Neat
I mean you cheated in a ton of vouchers so I can't really go "wow what an amazing achievement" but still
Have you beaten all the gym leaders and elite 4s yet?
Like the first 80% of them were easy but man those last few gym leaders just did not show up
I got like 10-15 tates before getting a liza (or was it vice versa?)
Actually fucking insane
And don't even get me started on Ryme
lyric radish
My second maxed pokemon
sweet crypt
Can you even call it maxed if you don't have the rare egg move?
primal ore
is the mysterious chest worth?
sweet crypt
is the mysterious chest worth?
Depends on if you like gambling
primal ore
i mean
lyric radish
what are the odds for legendary eggs to be shiny ive goten 16 rayquazas and not a single shiny i got all the moves i got passive and maxed the price but no dang shiny
primal ore
last time i went to the pokies i walked in w $20 and out w $400
sweet crypt
1/128 i think
sweet crypt
is the mysterious chest worth?
Anyways did you win?
sweet crypt
Open it and simply get lucky
lyric radish
Can you even call it maxed if you don't have the rare egg move?
what is it even?
latios you want to make me a monogen 1 team
sweet crypt
what is it even?
I dunno tbh lmao
lyric radish
...
sweet crypt
latios you want to make me a monogen 1 team
I wonder if you can use Scizor on a Gen 1 team
lyric radish
you cant
sweet crypt
I wouldn't know since I've only run mono gen 5
lyric radish
its where the pokemon originaldly came from
i do have eviolite unlocked tho
got it last run xd
poor bunary was only a sac if i needed clean switch
sweet crypt
I remember Gyarados doing well
Though you probably need Dascent and Surging Strikes for it
Surging Strikes being rare egg move
lyric radish
i got all egg moves on magikarp
lyric radish
missing rare eggmove for vean
sweet crypt
Shouldn't be needed
You probably want a Ground type to support Gyarados
Probably one of the Nidos
Tbh I'm not too certain on what to bring for this
lyric radish
Probably one of the Nidos
missing rare on both but female has HA
sweet crypt
Especially since this team I thought of probably struggles with Mega Ray
Maybe Cloyster for Mega Ray actually
lyric radish
gyra got ice spinner tho
sweet crypt
Should tank any physical hits, and if it is special, just try to set up beforehand
sweet crypt
gyra got ice spinner tho
I doubt it could OHKO at +1
And +2 could be risky depending on Ivy's Pokemon
Or whatever the male rival's name is idk
Finn or something like that
lyric radish
its finn
sweet crypt
Anyways, as general tips for this run
Gyarados' set should always include Dascent, Surging Strikes and Dragon Dance
Last move can be Ice Spinner, Power Whip, EQ, and probably other moves I'm forgetting rn
lyric radish
do i use doduo as last mon he has Taxel patental bond
and gets swords dance normaly i think
sweet crypt
If you use Cloyster, try to set up Shell Smash ASAP, but don't blindly use it on stuff like special attackers
Idk if Dodrio is the play tbh
lyric radish
he is pretty fast and packs a punch
primal ore
thank you rng gods
sweet crypt
I think Mega Ray outspeeds Carbosless Dodrio
So if it has equal or more Carbos than you, it's over
lyric radish
then i dont make him carbless
primal ore
in my genius i thought clamperl evolved into cloyster
imagine my suprise when a huntail appeared
sweet crypt
in my genius i thought clamperl evolved into cloyster
Ngl, fair enough
Anyways, you should put most of your HP Ups and Zincs into Venusaur
primal ore
i was pissed off that i just reset the run
sweet crypt
In preperation for Eternatus
Synthesis and Leech Seed are no brainers
At least in my opinion
STABs are good, Earth Power is good
lyric radish
Synthesis and Leech Seed are no brainers
i got sappy seed
sweet crypt
If you have a Soak user, Toxic could be fun
coarse estuary
Leg 1 of the genlocke is down. No e4 deaths. Final 6 were Blastoise Jolteon Raticate fearow vileplume arbok. On to leg 2 crystal
sweet crypt
What is the graveyard looking like
primal ore
itd be great if you could swap the vitamins
coarse estuary
What is the graveyard looking like
So far only 3 deaths. Deaths will be counted total overall but death box won't be carried between games
sweet crypt
So far only 3 deaths. Deaths will be counted total overall but death box won't b...
Damn
Would've been very cool if they did
If I did nuzlockes frequently and practised the games I might actually do that
Maybe a long time into the future I'll be thinking of what to do and try to see if I had any plans listed in this server idk
sweet crypt
yo who could i turn into tera psychic
Where are you at rn
sweet crypt
I'm not entirely sure if I'd use it
Mainly because if you're unlucky, you match into Sydney
And he sucker punches your Medicham
Into the next dimension
sweet crypt
I prefer being safe
lyric radish
i would take x speed
primal ore
i was thinking that
sweet crypt
Yeah X speed sounds good
sweet crypt
Why does Cosmog cost 7
I mean I'm a massive Lunala fan
But none of its egg moves are extremely impactful unlike every other box art legend
Making them lower tier for sure
And you start as Cosmog
Should be 6 cost tbh
lyric radish
its 6:18AM i have not yet slept do i sleep or do i keep playing pokerogue
sweet crypt
its 6:18AM i have not yet slept do i sleep or do i keep playing pokerogue
I'd tell you to sleep but that'd be incredibly hypocritical of me
Lunala probably isn't bottom 2 legend
But Solgaleo is easily bottom 1
In Pokerogue I mean
Solgaleo is still a bottom 1 contender in normal Pokemon but it isn't just undisputed ass
primal ore
really?
sweet crypt
Solgaleo is just not a good box art
primal ore
its steel psychic no?
sweet crypt
And then you realise it is also heavily outclassed by NDM
primal ore
is it physical or special
sweet crypt
Steel/Psychic is a good type but tbh, it'd have been better off with so many other steel dual types
Steel/Psychic is probably like a mid tier steel pairing comparitively mainly because most steel type pairings are top tier pairs
primal ore
steel/water is great
sweet crypt
Think of your steel/grasses, steel/waters, steel/bugs, steel/fires, steel/flyings, steel/grounds, etc etc etc
steel/ghost
primal ore
steel bug?
sweet crypt
Mainly defensively
primal ore
i mean its quad weak to fire but thats it right?
sweet crypt
Most of the listings I put down are purely thinking of defensive prowess
sweet crypt
i mean its quad weak to fire but thats it right?
Yup
primal ore
thats valid
sweet crypt
And a good few resists
primal ore
actually yeah thats kinda goated
sweet crypt
Also Steel/Fairy
primal ore
tinkaton my beloved
sweet crypt
Steel/Fairy and Steel/Grass are probably the top 2 best defensive types
Tbh the entire top 5 of defensive types are probably steel types
Just that Steel/Fairy and Steel/Grass stand out amongst them
Everywhere Ferrothorn is available, it is a great pick for your team
Gens 5-8 OU and Ubers basically
sweet crypt
Anyways, I think the most scary E4 in Pokerogue is probably the Blueberry Academy E4
sweet crypt
Anyways, I think the most scary E4 in Pokerogue is probably the Blueberry Academ...
This is based purely off how the Blueberry Academy E4 sections are the only ones to have me struggle ever on a non challenge run
Excluding like
Early forced sea routing without a water resist
primal ore
overquil doesnt have levitate right?
sweet crypt
overquil doesnt have levitate right?
Nope
primal ore
eq excadrill enters the room
sweet crypt
I don't remember exactly what it has, but I know it has Swift Swim
primal ore
thats concerning
sweet crypt
Dw if rain isn't up you simply outspeed
Zekrom from the Miraidon Legendary Up egg you have got to be kidding me
sweet crypt
I assume you know the order of the Gen 3 Elite 4?
primal ore
ik nothing abt gen 3
sweet crypt
Followed by Glacia, the Ice type Elite 4 (she'll probably have a snow setter, she spams that move in the games)
primal ore
ive played gen 5 on my dsi and then IF, pixel/cobblemon
sweet crypt
Then Drake, the Dragon type Elite 4 member
sweet crypt
There are 2 possible champions, Champion Steven Stone, the Steel type trainer, and Champion Wallace, the Water type trainer
primal ore
what teams do they run
sweet crypt
Champions all have 1 random Pokemon
sweet crypt
Steven in Pokerogue has 4 of his normal members (Skarmory, Mega Metagross, Aggron, Armaldo and Cradily, though he only has one of Armaldo or Cradily)
Additionally, he has Dialga
Wallace has Pelipper, Mega Swampert, Milotic, Ludicolo and Palkia
Don't ask why these Gen 3 trainers have Gen 4 box art legendaries
I dont know
sweet crypt
Also, TIL, the random Pokemon must match their speciality
As for trainers with no speciality like Nemona
Uhhh
I dunno
primal ore
gl to me ig lmao
sweet crypt
Anyways, Glacia has Glalie, Walrein, Froslass, Abomasnow and 2 random Ice types
While Drake has Altaria, Salamence, Flygon, Kingdra and 2 random Dragon types
primal ore
froslass as snow cloak right?
primal ore
and abomasnow sets up snow
sweet crypt
So that you don't have to deal with it
sweet crypt
Dirge probably lures out Walrein, then Froslass
primal ore
walrein is a fat fuck so he'll most likely tank a overdrive
sweet crypt
NPCs typically prioritise their advantages over their disadvantages
So they'd see a Ghost type as a better Ghost type answer than say, a Steel type
In my experiences at least
sweet crypt
Damn why is Taxel a common TM that's wild
sweet crypt
what would u suggest i lead w then
Maybe Dirge into Overdrive predict 2HKO
primal ore
thats crazy
sweet crypt
Not sure how Dirge will fare with Froslass though
primal ore
i mean dirge has a calcium, a hp up and 2 carbos
sweet crypt
Keep in mind that Glacia has 2 random Ice types
primal ore
yeah true
primal ore
literally
sweet crypt
Ice is also the type with the least Pokemon
primal ore
ok sick just realised dirge is 10 levels lower then the entire team
sweet crypt
So Bax has a higher chance of being randomly picked
primal ore
nvm i cant swap my members anyway
sweet crypt
Alright new plan
primal ore
ig scarada is leading
sweet crypt
Hit the Walrein as usual
With Overdrive
And then have the balls to hard swap to Meowscarada predicting a Water move
sweet crypt
Probably just U-Turn on Glalie right
sweet crypt
I doubt Meows OHKOs Glalie with Flower Trick
primal ore
i mean even if i do die il just reset
sweet crypt
AI likes to try to predict on turn 1 so idk if Dirge is safe
They may Crunch on predicted swap
primal ore
oh lmfao i thought i was going into glacia
nvm its just a battle in between i can swap
sweet crypt
💀
primal ore
ok so the plan
sweet crypt
Didn't you already notice that between Sidney and Phoebe?
I think lead Dirge into predicted Walrein into hard swap to Meows maybe works?
primal ore
no i did i just thought i alr beat the fight in between
sweet crypt
But it's risky since the AI sometimes tries to predict
primal ore
ight
sweet crypt
Best case scenario is that Dirge outspeeds Walrein and 2HKOs
Worst case scenario is that it predicts you swapping to Meows and Blizzards or something
Except, Meows would lure in Abomasnow for sure
Maybe U-Turn into Dirge predicting Ice move? Idk
Maybe simply risk the Snow Cloak evasion chance
sweet crypt
she sent out tera ice darmanitan
Jesus fuck that's scary
primal ore
HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL
primal ore
into lapras
sweet crypt
The damage you dealt to Garmanitan was always gonna be 100% on SE
Alright we know the 2 random Pokemon now
sweet crypt
It's just that Galarian Darmanitan hits like a shitton of bricks
sweet crypt
Torch Song would be better for the SpA
sweet crypt
Was your Skeledirge outspeeding anything?
primal ore
ok im +4 spatk i should sweep from here
sweet crypt
You definitely outspeed Abomasnow and Walrein
primal ore
100%
sweet crypt
So hopefully Walrein doesn't just eat your hit and say "nuh uh"
sweet crypt
It's Drake btw not Lance
primal ore
oh same diff
sweet crypt
I dont know if you have anything for Dragon, but he should lead Altaria
primal ore
theyre both dragon trainers
sweet crypt
So do what you will with that info
primal ore
ive got alluring voice and overdrive on dirge
sweet crypt
In fact, 3 of his 4 guaranteed Pokemon are quad weak to Ice
primal ore
play rough meows
sweet crypt
(Altaria, Mence and Flygon)
primal ore
oh perfect ice punch on mega medi
sweet crypt
Also has Kingdra but Mega Medi outspeeds it
So it comes down to the random 2
I think most notable is Archaludon since it could prevent a full sweep with Sturdy
primal ore
inshallah its not baxcalibur
sweet crypt
Unless Drake is running Rain Dance on Kingdra Archaludon shouldn't be too problematic
primal ore
kommo-oh is first
primal ore
ice punch?
sweet crypt
Didn't even need Ice Punch rip bozo
Wait no Drake kinda outplayed you there
Kingdra may be able to tank a hit
Uhhh
primal ore
nah should be fine
sweet crypt
Simply HJK and land
primal ore
ok yeah kingdra dead
sweet crypt
Good
primal ore
tera mence
sweet crypt
Idk if Zen Headbutt KOd there
primal ore
ice punch
sweet crypt
Tera is a bit scary since you're only 2× SE now
primal ore
se?
sweet crypt
And it is Intimidate
primal ore
oh right makes sense
sweet crypt
So basically, you have 66% power and only do 2 times more damage with Ice Punch instead of 4 times
Could be a bit risky staying in
primal ore
rough he one shot w hurricane
sweet crypt
Yeah if you're willing to reset save just sacrifice something there to bring Medicham back in
Because you probably OHKO without Intimidate Attack drop
primal ore
grass is se against ground or is it the other way
sweet crypt
Mega Medicham is probably your most valuable Pokemon
primal ore
im down to his 2nd flygon
sweet crypt
So not having it for Champion would suck
primal ore
i mean il have enough money to full restore
sweet crypt
Flygon would be neutral to Flower Trick
primal ore
oh true
sweet crypt
(Ground weak vs Grass, Dragon resist Grass)
So you Play Rough and hope you don't miss ig
sweet crypt
Alright, so this is tough
primal ore
hes alive again
sweet crypt
If this is Steven, Skeledirge is your best possible lead
If this is Wallace, it is your worst possible lead
And you have 0 good leads
primal ore
wait why did my luck drop lmao
sweet crypt
wait why did my luck drop lmao
Fainted shiny probably
primal ore
i did not get an x speed
sweet crypt
Otherwise, Dirge is either your worst lead or best lead
primal ore
lets just pray i get steven
sweet crypt
Wallace would lead with Pelipper, while Steven leads with Skarmory
If Wallace's Pelipper has Drizzle (I'm not sure if abilities are hard locked) you're in for a tough time
Swift Swim Mega Pert probably outspeeds Meowscarada
So pray for Steven
sweet crypt
Alright, Dirge+Medicham should do well here
primal ore
it set up drizzile
primal ore
i should outspeed w overdrive
sweet crypt
I think it outspeeds your entire team in Rain
And Swampert does get coverage that is SE against Grass
primal ore
what does he get
sweet crypt
Ice Punch, Superpower, I think Mountain Gale from egg moves
sweet crypt
And Hammer Arm
primal ore
that too
sweet crypt
Pray for bad moveset, or bad speed IVs, or speed lowering nature, or no carbos
sweet crypt
Probably
Tbf, Dirge isn't very good in this MU anyways
May be best to sacrifice for damage
sweet crypt
Meows should KO Milotic
But Mega Pert is possibly faster than it
Oh, and he has Palkia
And I doubt you OHKO Palkia with Play Rough
If you take out Mega Pert and Palkia things should become a lot easier
I wouldn't say it's a guaranteed win though, since Wallace has that one random Pokemon
For all you know he's about to bust out Volcarona and Quiver Dance on your ass
sweet crypt
Wait does he actually have one?
I just gave it as an example of a random Pokemon he can have
primal ore
i have no clue
sweet crypt
Since he can have a random non paradox, UB or legendary Pokemon
primal ore
HOLY FUCK MEGA MEDI HUNG ON W FOCUS BAND
sweet crypt
W
primal ore
the space god is dead
sweet crypt
If Meowscarada is still alive, I think Rain ends soon
primal ore
ok mega pert is out
sweet crypt
So I think you can win
primal ore
meow is not alive
sweet crypt
Should still be possible
primal ore
idk what to swap to lol
sweet crypt
Since at least it won't outspeed anything
What Pokemon do you have left, and what have you KOd?
sweet crypt
Maybe send in Phione?
Mega Medicham is still decently fast
And should be capable of doing massive damage even if it would die soon after
primal ore
its plus 3 spdef
sweet crypt
Who?
primal ore
pert
sweet crypt
Bro has Amnesia or some shit?
primal ore
yep
primal ore
LOL
sweet crypt
And could potential pick off a damaged Mega Pert
primal ore
ludicolo is dead
sweet crypt
As expected
sweet crypt
If he's hesitating to send out the last Pokemon, it may be weak to Medicham
primal ore
fucking probopass
sweet crypt
Yup, definitely weak to Medicham
primal ore
ok so its got sturdy
even then ive got exca
nvm it steel beamed
it killed itself
we're just better really
primal ore
yeah lol
i was like thank fuck it wasnt smth good
my 3 starters were dirge meows and phione
sweet crypt
Meows is a top tier starter for sure
primal ore
phione was purely for luck
sweet crypt
And then it also has a stupidly buffed Magician as a passive
primal ore
and for a water
sweet crypt
There's a chance Ivy sucks at teambuilding and Meows doesn't have Dark STAB
In which case, Dirge solos it
But Dirge might force it out either ways
primal ore
its got knock off
sweet crypt
And it's not entirely impossible that she sends out Mega Ray
primal ore
oh yeah the paradox mon
sweet crypt
You need to have hatched them to catch them
sweet crypt
Bundle is one of the best Paradoxes tbf
And it would be good for Ivy's Meowscarada and Mega Ray
Yknow, if it weren't underleveled
sweet crypt
I'd probably roll on Miraidon machine
primal ore
real?
sweet crypt
Miraidon would stomp the entire game up until Emax and maybe a bulky ground
Including base Eternatus
primal ore
hmmmm
sweet crypt
I'd probably still have a backup plan for Mega Ray
Miraidon's main weakness is its cost
It costs 9
primal ore
oh holy fuck
sweet crypt
It's definitely the most worth 9 for classic except maybe Kyogre imo
primal ore
also thank you for the help for the last 3 hours lmfao
sweet crypt
No problem
Tbh this is a lot more fun than just steamrolling the game neg diff myself
primal ore
this is probably the most theory crafting ive ever had to do for pokemon lmao
ok mega ray is out
sweet crypt
If you have an X Speed, you probably beat it
sweet crypt
Otherwise I could see this being a problem
Rip
Idk if Mega Medicham Ice Punch OHKOs
4 boss bars
primal ore
its fine il reset
sweet crypt
And it's only 2× weak to Ice because of Delta Stream
primal ore
oh shit true
sweet crypt
Honestly if they wanted to, instead of nerfing Miraidon, they could've made it 10 cost
Because like
Dragon Energy
Rising Voltage
Ice Beam
Quark Drive passive on top of Hadron Engine
What the hell
sweet crypt
What did Ivy swap in?
primal ore
im guessing either electivire or ray
sweet crypt
Or did you faint to Iron Barbs
primal ore
she fainted to recoil
primal ore
ight
sweet crypt
And if it's Mega Ray, Play Rough and pray
sweet crypt
If it's Electivire, idk if you OHKO with Flower Trick
primal ore
one bar
sweet crypt
Yikes
primal ore
ohko hyper beam
sweet crypt
What are your remaining Pokemon?
primal ore
phione magne and dirge
primal ore
hopefully it goes hurricane
sweet crypt
Maybe Dirge can live a hit? Idk
primal ore
i dont live a hurricane
sweet crypt
This isn't looking like the run
sweet crypt
If Mega Ray doesn't have Lum Berries, maybe you can try to paralyse it with Magnezone
primal ore
ive just gotta pray that thunder hits lmfao
sweet crypt
Maybe if you got Ray to swap into Meowscarada
You could get 2 Play Roughs
And then maybe if it Hyper Beams to KO you KO with Mega Medi Ice Punch
I assume the AI would prioritise swapping Corv in first
So you'd have to either chip it or KO it
primal ore
elect and alo are dead
everyone is alive
dirge is half
rays out
most likely going for hurricane
primal ore
il try medi and if that doesnt work il go meows
ok it crit me lmao
one bar down tho
sweet crypt
Be honest to yourself, does the crit matter?
primal ore
no
ok i was close
ray was on 1 bar
same w meows
@sweet crypt guess what fucking mon she has
sweet crypt
<@716584336912154689> guess what fucking mon she has
LMAO
She already revealed it earlier I assume?
sweet crypt
I cant be 100% sure since Ivy seems to sometimes swap Pokemon between encounters
But I think you did mention Bax at 145
sweet crypt
I vividly remember Ivy ditching all the Pokemon that checked mine for worthless garbo
And vice versa
primal ore
her team is alo, elect, ray, corvin, meows and bax
sweet crypt
her team is alo, elect, ray, corvin, meows and bax
RNG did not smile upon you today
primal ore
from here i pivot into magne to tank
since it knows ive got thunder its gonna go into elective and i go into exca
but since it sees ive got eq
it goes into corvin
so i pre-empt the rock slide
corvins dead
exca half health
from here its kinda anyones game
i could rock slide but that means sacking exca
sweet crypt
I think you want Medicham to land the KO blow on Mega Ray
Since it's your best mon at handling Bax
sweet crypt
You said earlier that Medicham does 2 bars, correct?
sweet crypt
You may want to try to bait out Hyper Beam so that Medicham lands a safe hit once Ray reaches 2 bars
primal ore
You may want to try to bait out Hyper Beam so that Medicham lands a safe hit onc...
how do u reckon i bait out hb
small zodiac
CAN I HAVE OWNER 💯
sweet crypt
how do u reckon i bait out hb
Send in something not weak to Flying and pray frfr
Preferably something that isn't resistant to Normal
But seriously, Ray probably outspeeds and OHKOs Medicham
sweet crypt
i mean i could go skele
Immune to Normal
primal ore
true
sweet crypt
Sacking something to let Medicham get the hit might be better?
primal ore
alr
sweet crypt
Probably is
primal ore
exca is sacked
sweet crypt
I mean idk what Phione does for you in this MU tbh
primal ore
i only picked it for the luck im ngl
sweet crypt
How long have you been attempting this again?
cloud lark
Phione used to have Simple QD
TBF Simple QD is a borderline unjustifiable setup on anything with more than like 50 SpA
sweet crypt
TBF Simple QD is a borderline unjustifiable setup on anything with more than lik...
Well it's a good thing Phione no longer has it it'd be a shame if another Pokemon had both it and Stored Power and Tinted Lens haha ha ha
primal ore
4 hours
sweet crypt
oof
primal ore
god i love simple volcarona
sweet crypt
god i love simple volcarona
Thank god it doesn't exist
primal ore
:)
sweet crypt
+2 0 SpA Tinted Lens Venomoth Stored Power (140 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 174-206 (53.8 - 63.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. +2 0 HP / 0 SpD Venomoth: 170-204 (60.4 - 72.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after trapping damage
Hey yknow what
At least it doesn't beat Heatran
Ignore the Earth Power
And to think some players cry about the game not being broken enough
When Rising Voltage Miraidon is a thing that exists
Oh it also has Ice Beam because fuck you Ting-Lu
cloud lark
Stored Power is such a funny move. It can get to such absurd power, but it's more of a canary in the coalmine for Pokemon or strategies that are broken even without it
Like yeah, Espathra absolutely ruined SV online for a few weeks when people realized how good it was, but it has great Psychic STAB in Lumina Crash so it would still be a menace without Stored Power
sweet crypt
Lumina Crash may be the most unfortunate move of all time
It's so damn good but it doesnt even matter because why run it when you can run Stored Power
sweet crypt
Consider resetting and being more prepared
Either that or continue struggling idk
I just want to mention that Scizor wasn't the only Steel type Technician Double Iron Basher before DiB distribution was cut
Technician Adaptability DiB Mega Lucario was a thing that existed, iirc
And it really didn't deserve to
I could be misremembering
But like remove Technician and that's still fucking
Adaptability DiB off of 145 Attack and 112 Speed
Pokerogue has had a history of egregious Pokemon
It still has some but not quite to the same extent
Electro Shot Pogre 💀
Denergy Ice Beam Rising Voltage Miraidon 💀 💀 (Forget AG, this shit's AGBL)
primal ore
idk how could have been more prepared this is the furtherst ive been
sweet crypt
Egg moves help a lot
primal ore
i just new gamed
sweet crypt
As does searching up what possible Pokemon you'd have to fight
In Pokemon in general, knowledge is power
primal ore
i mean who do you think i should start out w
sweet crypt
What Pokemon do you have?
primal ore
the thing is tho i shouldnt have to research a roguelike pokemon game
this isnt run n bun lmao
sweet crypt
In general, playing more runs should help you build up more general knowledge
The game (probably) doesn't expect you to beat it first try without getting new egg moves etc
primal ore
sweet crypt
I mean, ofc, it is possible to beat the game without egg moves or whatever
I believe my first clear didn't abuse egg moves
Though tbf my game knowledge is pretty above average I'd say
desert coral
it's probably changed since I played a few months ago but starting with a pokemon that has the ability pickup was nice
sweet crypt
Nacli is a very good Pokemon for Pokerogue runs
sweet crypt
it's probably changed since I played a few months ago but starting with a pokemo...
It still is
sweet crypt
Nacli is a very good Pokemon for Pokerogue runs
However, Nacli isn't extremely difficult to find
And it is quite expensive
So you may want to find that one in the wild instead
primal ore
thats if i get a map
sweet crypt
If your Sneasel has Triple Axel as an egg move, I'd definitely pick it
primal ore
it doesnt
sweet crypt
Unfortunate
primal ore
the only i have that has taxel is buizel
sweet crypt
Rn I'm thinking Mega Ray is probably the biggest roadblock for you right now
primal ore
her having baxcalibur also kinda walled me
sweet crypt
Eternatus isn't too difficult if you can get past phase 1 and have a full team with at least 1 percentage damage dealer
sweet crypt
her having baxcalibur also kinda walled me
Baxcalibur isn't guaranteed
That said, she could get like
Volcarona
Or Kingambit
Or Gholdengo
Or something
Ivy is almost definitely the most difficult battle
primal ore
yeah ive watched runs w her getting kingambit its rlly not fun
sweet crypt
Or Finn if you picked the female player character
Restarting runs early on to make sure she gets a shit starter could also help
For example, maybe you want to facilitate a Buizel lead into a set up for whatever she swaps in
So you reset until Ivy gets something like Charizard
sweet crypt
(Charizard was the one I brought up because Typhlosion has Drought and Delphox has Expanding Force Psychic Terrain)
primal ore
oh
sweet crypt
(Infernape and Blaziken should also be safe for the strategy I mentioned, but Emboar and Skeledirge may be a bit too tanky)
Anyways
You probably should get something with Salt Cure, Leech Seed or Curse
If you don't want to worry about searching them out
primal ore
i mean i could run venusaur
sweet crypt
You have stuff like Nacli, Bulbasaur or Duskull
desert coral
i had a good time with venusaur
sweet crypt
Duskull is probably least desirable out of the 3
Since apart from cursing Eternatus, it doesn't do much
primal ore
honestly i could run bulb nacli
sweet crypt
Garganacl and Venusaur are very good
sweet crypt
Venusaur is just solid all around and probably the best single check to Eternatus if Mega evolved
Garganacl is great everywhere
Salt Cure, Stealth Rocks, Recover are great moves
Though, Garg's defensive type is kinda balls
primal ore
so who do u reckon i run w
desert coral
bulbasaur and something with pickup 😄
sweet crypt
On one hand, Venusaur could be a bit dicey on Eternatus if you don't get the Mega
But on the other, Garganacl is a bit expensive for how common it is
Probably Venusaur tbh
Last 3 points can be a Pickup mon, or maybe a Dragon Dancer?
Idk
I like Dragon Dance a lot
But I think most would probably prefer Pickup
desert coral
if you ever get something with torch song, that's also good fun
sweet crypt
if you ever get something with torch song, that's also good fun
They are starting with The Dirge
So that's fun
Volcarona lost Torch Song sadly
sweet crypt
It's still cracked as shit but not as cracked as shit
desert coral
making me want to pick the game back up
desert coral
I liked doing mono type runs
sweet crypt
I've only done Mono Bug so far
primal ore
i hate type overlapping
