#

I mean, rainbow rocket was something that happened in gen 7

sweet crypt
#

True...

#

At the same time though

#

Rainbow Rocket has never had a member of the Cosmog line

#

But they have had Xerneas and Yveltal

icy idol
#

Yeah that is true

sweet crypt
#

Bruh wait this Yveltal is STABless wtf

#

That's so cringe

#

Well, Dark STABless

#

When it is a Dark type

#

And has Dark Aura

#

As its signature ability

icy idol
#

Dang

sweet crypt
#

Meanwhile Xerneas gets both Geomancy and Moonblast

#

This feels very biased

#

(Talking about Lysandre's Rainbow Rocket team btw)

#

I pity the Ultra Sun players having to deal with that

#

Not like Ultra Moon is getting off easy it's still Yveltal

#

But like

#

Geomancy Fairy Aura Moonblast

icy idol
#

But anyways, off-topic(but technically back on topic to the gen eight bugs). Frosmoth>Snom may be the case. But does anyone else agree with Centiskorch> all other bugs in gen 8?

sweet crypt
#

However I am John Monomoth

#

So I respectfully disagree

icy idol
#

Understandable

warped turret
#

Kitty approves Venopog

warm rose
#

this was the first penny fight so luckily no raikou possibility yet

#

oh nooooo

#

egg voucher plus or ice beam......

#

chose ice beam

sweet crypt
#

I just realised that since Quaquaval's ability is Opportunist, I cannot Shift Gear or Shell Smash or whatever on it

#

That's fucking terrifying

#

This duck is the biggest thing that could stop this win

#

I could overlevel Tyrantrum

#

Since it isn't going to be used for Eternatus

#

Hoopa has been unbound

#

Lysandre is a one shot sweep

#

Primarily because my Tyrantrum is level 174

#

If you know your level caps, you know that's absurdly above the level cap for 165

#

I also had Tera Electric Volt Tackle to break through Multiscale Boss Mega Gyarados

warm rose
#

WOW insane stats for first hatch

sweet crypt
#

What the heck

warm rose
#

GARGANACL

#

caught it turn 1 with rogue ball!!!

sweet crypt
#

Level 234 for Ivy lmao

warm rose
#

ONE SHOT FROM A +3

#

we love the manaphy sweep

sweet crypt
#

Neat

warm rose
#

which should I choose?
scope lens for crits?

sweet crypt
#

Be careful though, Mega Rayquaza is bulkier, has 4 bars and is only 2* weak to Ice as opposed to a quad weakness

#

So you should go to +6 for 195 rival

warm rose
#

ya

sweet crypt
#

Either gambling addiction or scope lens

#

Your call

warm rose
#

relic gold gives 27k

#

gambling?

sweet crypt
#

Relic Gold

#

Anyways I almost accidentally beat Eternatus with Tyrantrum

#

Was not part of the plan lol

#

That's why I overleveled it

warm rose
#

whats the gambling for

sweet crypt
#

But as it turns out when you have a priority sleep move you can get a lot of good hits in before you get OHKOd

sweet crypt
#

What else

warm rose
#

the rerolls?

sweet crypt
#

Yeah

#

Multiple days in a row the legendary gacha has been amazing

warm rose
#

oh i barely do that lol

sweet crypt
#

Yesterday was Miraidon

#

And now we have Zacian

warm rose
#

zacian is peak

sweet crypt
#

Miraidon is more worth

#

But Zacian is definitely also worth spending all your vouchers in

warm rose
#

i usually do the shiny up ones
i should probably go for the legendary up ones more

#

oh peak im gonna have one of three weak to water gyms

sweet crypt
#

Alright on to my Gen 9 only run

#

Where I am running Miraidon to carry most of the game and Glimmora with Calm Mind as an egg move in case Miraidon does not get it in time for Eternatus

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Shiny Sprigatito neat

warm rose
warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Snorlax encounter in the first 20 waves

#

That's rare

#

Massive XP

#

For free

#

You love to see it

warm rose
#

whats primordial sea passive?

sweet crypt
#

Primordial Sea is the ability of Primal Kyogre

warm rose
#

i havea 17 candies

sweet crypt
#

As long as Manaphy is on the field, there will be permanent rain

#

This rain cannot be replaced by anything apart from Desolate Land and Delta Stream

warm rose
#

oh thats kinda nice

sweet crypt
#

It can however be nullified by Cloud Nine or Air Lock

#

The biggest thing for Manaphy here is that Primordial Sea means you proc Hydration every turn

#

You are effectively immune to all status

warm rose
#

so the passive is definitely worth it?

sweet crypt
#

Anyways fucking BLUE SHINY ZANGOOSE AND IT IS WORTHLESS TO ME SINCE I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE HIDDEN ABILITY AAAAAAAA

sweet crypt
warm rose
warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Every passive is worth it except for like idk Sharpness on Fomantis or something

#

Literally boosting a singular move you have

#

And nothing else

#

Yay...

#

Secret Sword on Hoopa we are ballin

warm rose
#

Which of these is better for manaphy
the gym happens the biome AFTER what I choose now

sweet crypt
#

So go Mountain

#

Sandstorm itself wouldn't be too bad for Manaphy

#

But the Pokemon there have Sand Veil

#

Or Water Absorb

#

This is like the 3rd run in a row the rival pulled up with Quaquaval

#

I don't blame Ivy, Quaquaval is peak

warm rose
#

are ivys starter pokemon completely random or are they based on your pokemon

sweet crypt
#

Ngl I am very pleased at how the devs handled nerfing Miraidon

#

It definitely needed the nerf

#

But Compound Eyes is fun

#

Because I don't need to worry about missing every move in the known universe

sweet crypt
#

She can even swap her Pokemon mid game

#

Though I have not seen it for slots 1 and 2

#

I have for 3, 4 and 5 though

warm rose
warm rose
#

except for this run

#

where she has fennekin

sweet crypt
#

Time to afk in Pokerogue so that I get to listen to the Team Star Admin theme

#

One shotting all of Ortega's Pokemon in 10 seconds wouldn't be fun would it?

warm rose
#

twould be very fun

sweet crypt
#

Took 15 seconds due to a misplay

#

Could have gotten it down to 10 otherwise

#

Oh well

warm rose
#

is ortega the fairy type person

sweet crypt
#

Yes

warm rose
#

i dont know the names of them

sweet crypt
#

Not an issue for Miraidon since it can OHKO all of them

warm rose
#

i had him too as the first admin

sweet crypt
#

I didn't land an OHKO on the starmobile sadly since I misplayed

#

I accidentally used Rising Voltage

#

Meant to swap to Wildbolt Storm

warm rose
#

oh boy

#

time for the rematch fight...

sweet crypt
#

Gmax Garbodor

#

Yoink

#

Give me those leftovers

#

I need those

warm rose
#

she didnt switch into raikou so i presume she does not have it

#

rotom wash

#

suicune!!!

sweet crypt
#

Alright you win

#

Unless idk

#

Crit or something

warm rose
#

3 valid options for me...

Soul Dew, Egg Voucher Plus or Mild Mint

sweet crypt
#

Egg Voucher Plus if you want to gamble

#

Otherwise, Soul Dew

warm rose
#

I love gambling

#

and the other five had 3 rare eggs

sweet crypt
#

Ivy literally just sacrifices her starter because her team has 0 switch ins for Miraidon

#

However Miraidon OHKOs the entire team

#

And outspeeds since yknow

#

135 base speed

warm rose
#

lmfao he killed his teammate

sweet crypt
#

Miraidon gameplay: Click button 5 times in a row and win

#

Complex, I know

warm rose
#

should I or should I not

sweet crypt
#

Mega Beedrill could pose problems

#

But if you think you can handle it, go ahead

#

Because idk what else bug type superfan has that threatens you

#

I guess Mega Pinsir?

#

And maybe Galvantula

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Mega Beedrill hits hard and fast

#

So it is threat

warm rose
#

and i cant outheal with manaphy

#

or i could give him my manaphys quick claw

sweet crypt
#

Accidentally skipped Calm Mind TM I am a goober

#

It's fine I have a Master Ball so I autowin vs Eternatus anyways

warm rose
#

wait waht am i worrying about

#

i have salt cure

#

on garganacl

sweet crypt
#

Lmao I OHKOd a Glimmora through the boss bar and tera shell

#

I swear Miraidon may as well have Tinted Lens with how much damage it deals

#

Anyways I got the Oricorio encounter

#

I can just Calm Mind pass now

#

I win

#

Ortega again?

#

That's pretty rare

warm rose
#

oh no

#

noooo

sweet crypt
#

One shot sweep time chat

warm rose
#

he stole the baton

#

he has:
mega beedrill
buzzwole
mega heracross
g-max butterfree
mega pinsir

sweet crypt
#

Ooh, Revavroom has gotten bulky enough to tank a Wildbolt Storm

#

Only to do jack shit and die

warm rose
sweet crypt
warm rose
#

i could just reset and tera water instead just in case?

sweet crypt
#

Gmax Eevee used Zippy Zap with Protean to tank 1 Rising Voltage

#

That is the most interesting thing about the Penny fight

#

Otherwise it was a one shot sweep

warm rose
#

i think it did that for me too iirc
it became electric type

#

OR i could give him a quick claw for these options

sweet crypt
#

Not worth imo

#

I like beating the bug trainer for the EXP and the chance for Tail Glow or Quiver Dance

#

Quiver Dance in particular is consistent at making the rest of the game a complete and utter joke

#

Since the opponents are too braindead to think of swapping to a physical attacker while you set up

warm rose
#

ooo
i reset and now he stole a liechi berry

#

instead of baton

sweet crypt
#

Wild unnerve Ttar

#

Well

#

I don't have to deal with sand I guess

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Unfortunate

warm rose
#

if I tera to battle the boss (wave 170) will the tera be recharged after

sweet crypt
#

Yes

warm rose
#

volcano is good right

fire types?

#

probably

#

yea

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

wuh oh

sweet crypt
#

Have fun fighting 2 Volcarona

#

Unless you have a fire type then you can skip the battle

warm rose
#

sadly no

#

t

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Your water type is doing effectively neutral damage

#

Because it is sunny

#

So I hope your damage output is high enough to brute force it regardless

warm rose
#

salt cure one shotted

#

mostly because they are like 27 levels below my mons

sweet crypt
#

If you have Garganacl you should never lose this

warm rose
#

garganacl one shot both of em

#

so this is bugged?

#

i presume

sweet crypt
#

That's the first time I've seen this bug

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Tera Electric to secure the OHKO on Penny's lead Sylveon just in case it mattered

#

And that's Penny one shot swept

#

Sylveon is pretty specially bulky

#

And I am a Dragon type so the consequence for missing the OHKO is death

#

Well, it was until I terad

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

This is the last normal biome

#

Beach is safe

#

Since it is night

#

So it cannot be sunny

#

And it can be rainy

warm rose
#

i see

sweet crypt
#

Just defeated Grant, I am joining you in the 180 stretch in my own run

#

Miraidon is strong enough to do Badlands cycles

#

Because it OHKOs a majority of the Pokemon with Frost Breath and/or Spacial Rend

warm rose
#

E4 is alola e4

sweet crypt
#

Including even Excadrill

#

The only things it cannot OHKO here are Sturdy mons and it has the bulk to tank

#

Paldea E4

#

Terrifying

#

I have to fight the Miraidon mirror

warm rose
#

wait ur ALREADY as far as me???

#

this is the farthest ive ever been

sweet crypt
#

Geeta has both my team members, Glimmora and Miraidon

#

And y'knowe

#

Also Baxcalibur

#

And Kingambit

#

For once, I am at a disadvantage

warm rose
#

Hala is battle 1

sweet crypt
#

I caught a Garganacl

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

This will somewhat even the playing field

#

Rika is fucking dead btw

#

Poppy instantly swaps her Tinkaton in to death

warm rose
#

i love the bouncy bubble sweep

sweet crypt
#

Miraidon OHKOs everything except for Archaludon with Sturdy

warm rose
#

battle 2 is olivia

#

i am toxiced

sweet crypt
#

Calm Mind Obtained

#

I won

warm rose
#

battle 3 is acerola

sweet crypt
#

Geeta's own Miraidon lands a hit on me but Calm Mind allows me to tank it

warm rose
#

i will probably need an ether

#

am running low on power points

#

battle 4 is kahili

sweet crypt
#

Ivy is a sweep after 1 Calm Mind

#

The Calm Mind is to ensure that I OHKO Mega Ray

warm rose
#

ur already at ivy??

sweet crypt
#

Yes

#

Miraidon speeds things up a lot

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

And I am playing at 4* speed

warm rose
#

im playing at 5x speed

#

epic!!

#

champion kukui oh dear

#

HE HAS THUNDERUS???

#

i ohkod that but peak

#

AND TAPU KOKO>???

sweet crypt
#

It's either a Thundurus, Landorus or Tornadus

#

As for the Tapu, it is either Koko or Fini

#

With Hau using Bulu or Lele

warm rose
#

and a magnezone

sweet crypt
#

LMAO THE ACHIEVEMENT NAME IS "She was going easy on you"

#

But yeah Gen 9 is done

warm rose
#

and a gmax snorlax without the gmax name?

sweet crypt
#

Geeta is easily the most terrifying champion in Pokerogue it is insane

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Also I am realising that I got Gen 9 because I was doing Gen 9 challenge lol

#

Home stretch

#

Try not to let Rayquaza OHKO you

#

Also, do not level over 200

#

It will make Eternatus harder

warm rose
#

it will?

#

how?

sweet crypt
#

For specifically Classic Eternatus, Dynamax Cannon does more damage the higher you level above 200

warm rose
#

ah

#

it is time

sweet crypt
#

Torchic

#

That is possibly problematic for Dialga

#

Since y'know

#

Fighting type

warm rose
#

only 2x weak?
but its still dragon flying

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

so...
problem

ray outspeeds
and 2hkos me

sweet crypt
#

Set up before it comes in then

warm rose
#

it immediately switches in turn 1

sweet crypt
#

Ah

#

Yeah Mega Ray is usually problematic

#

Does Garganacl have Stealth Rock

warm rose
#

should i go salt cure

sweet crypt
#

If so you can swap it in on Rayquaza and then Stealth Rock up as it swaps out

#

And if it doesn't swap out, you Salt Cure too

warm rose
#

nope...

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

it answers my swap to garganacl with a swap to garchomp

sweet crypt
#

What's your team?

warm rose
#

the faint is from battle

#

not from before

#

Ivys team:
Delphox
Unfezant
Garchomp
Miltank
Tyranitar
Mega Rayquaza

sweet crypt
#

Ok, I think first of all try using Furret to land an Ice Punch on Garchomp

#

There is a non 0 possibility she swaps to Ttar

warm rose
#

it has lands wrath

sweet crypt
#

Who is faster?

warm rose
#

gar

sweet crypt
#

Hmm

warm rose
#

is sucker punch prio?

sweet crypt
#

I think just sacrifice then

#

It is yes

warm rose
#

i could use that to damage some more

sweet crypt
#

Go ahead

warm rose
#

it swaps to ttar

#

instead of going for the kill

sweet crypt
#

Interesting

#

Just get the Ice Punch on Ttar I guess

#

Next time you can try just spamming Ice Punch or even swapping to something as Ivy goes to Ttar

warm rose
#

And ttar sets up sandstorm as he swaps in

sweet crypt
#

Don't worry, Rayquaza clears that

warm rose
#

it freezes but immediately thaws

#

Rip

sweet crypt
#

I think you could try to get as many Ice Beams off on Rayquaza with Manaphy as possible, abusing the fact that the AI sees Rayquaza as the best Manaphy check

#

That's a way I can see you winning

#

Salt Cure is another

warm rose
#

got off 2 hits before

#

death

sweet crypt
#

Yikes Ttar tanked it

#

Alright get Manaphy in to Ice Beam

#

I want to see how many bars it takes off of Rayquaza

#

And if Ttar stays in, even better

#

You just Tail Glow on it

warm rose
#

interesting....
With tail glow on the swap in I got it down to 2/4 bars

sweet crypt
#

So I assume just Ice Beam on the swap gets 1 bar?

#

Getting 1 bar Ice Beam chips and sacrificing everything else is an actual wincon

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

You can reset runs to see what move Rayquaza does each time vs Manaphy swapping out and react accordingly

#

That way you maximise how many times you can perform this

#

Example: Turn 1 Manaphy Ice Beams Rayquaza swapping in from Delphox. Turn 2 you use save scumming to know Rayquaza uses Hurricane here, so you swap in Garganacl or Excadrill

#

And if it uses Outrage instead, it's Florges

#

Continue repeating this strategy until Rayquaza dies

warm rose
#

iirc it uses hurricane if i use ice beam t1

sweet crypt
#

Then swap in either Garganacl or Excadrill

warm rose
#

Hurricane indeed

#

it sees the counter with garchomp right?

sweet crypt
#

And after this turn, she swaps in Garchomp, right?

warm rose
#

yes

sweet crypt
#

You can send in Florges here

warm rose
#

oh?

#

not manaphy?

sweet crypt
#

You need Rayquaza to aggressively swap in

#

Against Garchomp it may not do so

warm rose
#

it indeed did not

sweet crypt
#

Since Garchomp is not weak to Manaphy's STAB type

#

Florges however should scare Garchomp off

#

And send in Delphox

#

That's where you get Manaphy in

warm rose
#

yea it sends in dphox as a counter to florges

#

it does exactly what u said

#

lol

sweet crypt
#

Repeating this strategy should get you the win

warm rose
#

after this it outrages

sweet crypt
#

But always be aware of what stat Rayquaza gets boosted

#

If it Outrages, send in Florges

warm rose
#

first one is defense iirc

sweet crypt
#

And then Manaphy

#

I think it probably swaps out to Delphox here

warm rose
#

First one is defense indeed

#

Sevond one is also defense

sweet crypt
#

I will also note that Florges can tank a Hurricane or two

#

Since it has high SpD

warm rose
#

Interesting wow

sweet crypt
#

Worst case scenario you do that

warm rose
#

It tera fires instead of switching into rayquaza

sweet crypt
#

Interesting

#

I think it's because Delphox has gotten low

#

You can set up here

warm rose
#

but second turn it does switch

sweet crypt
#

NBot Delphox Rayquaza mb

warm rose
#

Oh yea

#

Tru

sweet crypt
#

Alright so there

#

You Tail Glow as it Tera Fires

#

And then afterwards Ice Beam

#

You said Tail Glow Ice Beam does 2 bars, yes?

#

That should finish Rayquaza

warm rose
#

and then just tail glow and bouncy bubble sweep

sweet crypt
#

And Manaphy should be able to sweep from there

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

This is what savescumming is about, labbing out each and every NPC decision to craft a perfect counterstrategy where the AI struggles to make any progress while you make plenty

warm rose
#

Also

#

It MISSES the outrage on florges

sweet crypt
#

How even?

warm rose
#

Idk

#

but it didnt do damage

sweet crypt
#

Are you sure it isn't just not doing damage due to the immunity?

#

Fairy is immune to Dragon

warm rose
#

Oh outrage is drgaon

#

I thought bormal for some reaosn

#

oh interesting

#

if i tail glow it uses an attack to -1 my spatk

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

And then DOESNT switch to ray after

sweet crypt
#

Does Ice Beam still do 2 bars?

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

yea

sweet crypt
#

If you must, KO Delphox with Bouncy Bubble

#

You said it 2HKOs, yes?

#

So you should tank 1 hit and OHKO with Ice Beam

warm rose
#

delphox brings me to below half health so ray ohkos now

sweet crypt
#

Well not really OHKO

#

Since it's at half HP

sweet crypt
#

I'd have assumed Bouncy Bubble would heal you above that

warm rose
#

OH

#

i forgir ab that

#

Bouncy bubble full heals me and kos delphox

sweet crypt
#

Then Ice Beam Rayquaza

#

And you should be good to go

warm rose
#

HOLY

#

it uses u turn

#

and swaps into miltank

sweet crypt
#

Damn

#

Crazy

#

Bouncy Bubble

#

Just keep yourself healed and Rayquaza can't win

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Alright that should be game

warm rose
#

Do I grab a Focus Band

sweet crypt
#

What are the other items?

warm rose
#

also question

sweet crypt
#

Focus Band or Big Nugget to reroll for items

warm rose
#

are you able to catch the eternatus at the end or do you have to fight?

unkempt egret
#

have to fight

warm rose
#

rip

sweet crypt
#

You are gonna want X Speed, X SpD and X SpA for Manaphy

unkempt egret
#

I think you can unlock the ability to far later though

sweet crypt
#

Also yeah you have to beat Eternatus into a pulp

unkempt egret
#

but you still have to weaken it first

sweet crypt
#

But if you have every Pokemon you can catch it

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

But make sure to keep some to heal PP and HP

warm rose
#

for now just focus band right

sweet crypt
#

Yeah

#

If you find Leftovers, take it

warm rose
#

Should i lock rarities to get the x items?

sweet crypt
#

I've seen some hate using it for Eternatus as it can steal items, but when you're setting up with Take Heart/Calm Mind/Quiver Dance and do not have a healing move, it is vital

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

Ok

sweet crypt
#

Since getting high rarity items like vouchers, leftovers and shell bells is good too

warm rose
#

X speed on 196 in 2 rerolls

sweet crypt
#

Neat

warm rose
#

X spdef on 197 no reroll

#

5 rerolls no X spatk

#

Cant afford reroll anymore

sweet crypt
#

You can reroll later dw

#

For now take X Defence

#

Garbodor on the Dialga run at 63 I love good RNG

unkempt egret
#

also make sure to ||move all items onto a sac mon|| on floor 199

sweet crypt
#

Every reroll increases reroll cost

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

3 rerolls no spatk (cant afford anymore)

sweet crypt
warm rose
sweet crypt
warm rose
#

is this enough?

sweet crypt
#

Idk, get an Elixer just in case

warm rose
#

Elixer or ether?

sweet crypt
#

Elixer

#

You don't need money after this

#

You can afford to spend it all healing your team

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

The idea with Take Heart and similar moves on Eternatus is set up until you cannot afford to anymore

#

The SpD boosts really help with that

#

Remember that Bouncy Bubble does heal you up

#

If you have a high enough boost it should still do you well

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Though of course, the main attack is Ice Beam

#

Move your leppa berries to Seviper

#

As Seviper is the least useful Pokemon on your team

#

You do not want Eternatus stealing Leppa Berries at all costs

#

Since it has Recover

warm rose
#

I could grab metronome for florges

#

But idk

sweet crypt
#

You can probably Rare Candy Florges

#

Since it is immune to Dynamax Cannon

warm rose
#

Oh yeah true

#

T'is time

#

once again?

#

have i been here before?

sweet crypt
#

In lore yes

#

Outside of lore

#

Uhh

#

Not yet

warm rose
#

ah

sweet crypt
#

That's the number of times Pokerogue has been beaten

warm rose
#

Ah

#

do I set tail glow to begin?

sweet crypt
#

Imo, Take Heart is better for Eternatus

#

Since you boost SpD

warm rose
#

Ahhhh ok

sweet crypt
#

If it uses Eternabeam, know that it cannot move the next turn

warm rose
#

It just sludge bombs

sweet crypt
#

Keep Manaphy healed up

#

It would have been preferable if you had Garganacl in the slot 2

warm rose
#

Oof

#

do i swap to garg?

sweet crypt
#

You cannot risk it taking damage

#

Since you need to land Salt Cure

#

If you land Salt Cure, it becomes extremely hard to lose

warm rose
#

So I swap to a sacrifice mon?

sweet crypt
#

You need to weigh risk and reward

#

Do I send in Garganacl now? How urgently do I need to land Salt Cure?

warm rose
#

It cross poisons florges turn 1

sweet crypt
#

Ofc, you can always reset

warm rose
#

and ohkos

sweet crypt
#

Good

#

Send in Garganacl

#

Salt Cure

#

From there, Bouncy Bubble with Manaphy if it is low and Ice Beam if it is not

#

If you aren't at +6 yet, you can get there

warm rose
#

Do I tera here?

sweet crypt
#

For the bulk more than anything

#

Tera on who, and what type?

warm rose
#

I got to +6 before the swap from normal to emax

#

manaphy

#

Water

#

to increase damage

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

For heal

sweet crypt
#

You can Tera Manaphy why not

warm rose
#

do i keep salt curing? Idk what to do with garg now

sweet crypt
#

You can do whatever with Garg

#

If you have Recover that's a good move to click

#

If you ever get a Garganacl the priority is using Memory Mushrooms on it to get Salt Cure and/or Recover and preferably Stealth Rock too

#

Keep yourself healthy and let Salt Cure do the work

warm rose
#

Had to reset... it killed manaphy

sweet crypt
#

Since Salt Cure will stay up

warm rose
#

It recovered the turn before

sweet crypt
warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Once it Recovers once, it won't do so again

#

And Salt Cure will chip it down before it gets to the rest of your team

#

Calm Mind strats and Salt Cure are why I always say Eternatus is easier than 195 Rival

#

Ivy is trying to use Reversal as main Fighting STAB

#

Welp

#

Free +6 for Dialga

warm rose
#

ok something is weird
i did the exact same thing as my other run and it killed manaphy before the emax

sweet crypt
#

Eternatus' RNG factor changes sometimes

#

Idk why

#

But if you must, change up your strategy a bit

#

Maybe you can KO Eternatus earlier as Emax has lower offences than base form

#

As well as dividing its attention between 2 Pokemon

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Ggs

warm rose
#

it now never used dynamax cannon and just cross poisioned manaphy??

sweet crypt
#

As Cross Poison is a Physical move

#

While Dmax Cannon is Special

warm rose
#

it barely did anything

sweet crypt
#

That's how Eternatus goes sometimes

#

Sometimes it decides to be stupid

#

By sometimes

#

I mean like 70%

warm rose
#

woo!!!

#

egg gacha tiem

#

do i do the legednary up or the shiny up

sweet crypt
#

Legendary Up IMO

#

Shiny Up is probably the gacha I use the least

warm rose
#

!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet crypt
#

Rare Egg moves are extremely potent, Legendary Pokemon are extremely potent

#

And Shinies provide nothing more than a luck stat that in the end may not change much of anything at all

warm rose
#

should I decrease the cost of manaphy so that I can begin a run immediately with Manaphy and Nacli

sweet crypt
#

If you want to yes

#

Primordial Sea is also a great buff

#

Since you are now completely immune to status

#

And can use Rest as a healing move

#

That heals all your HP for 0 drawback

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Since Hydration instantly clear Sleep away

warm rose
#

so a good 4 move combo on manaphy is
Bouncy Bubble
Ice Beam
Take Heart
Rest
?

sweet crypt
#

Do keep in mind that Mega Rayquaza overwrites Primordial Sea

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

and wattrel as the bird

sweet crypt
#

Wait that may be good

#

If Ivy sends Kilowattrel in on Manaphy instead of Rayquaza you might be able to set up on it with Take Heart

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Yes

warm rose
#

wow 39

sweet crypt
#

Always skip to egg summary

warm rose
#

HOLY

sweet crypt
#

That's actually a setting btw

warm rose
#

TWO SHINIES

#

and 3 unowns

sweet crypt
#

Alright, egg moves?

warm rose
#

blue shiny drifloon and yellow shiny lechonk

#

of those 2?

sweet crypt
#

No, of everything

#

Because a lot of the listed Pokemon become excellent with egg moves

warm rose
#

alr im gonna list them all in order of left to right
top to bottom

sweet crypt
#

Gonna do a Zacian run after the Gen 4 run (Featuring Volcarona so that I don't have to worry about Eternatus)

#

Dialga Run is a longer run since Dialga is a Take Heart sweeper

#

And the run afterwards is the same, using Lugia instead

#

I use them anyways as they are extremely consistent ways to beat the game

#

The most consistent of their generations IMO

warm rose
#

strength sap | horn leech | swords dance | calm mind | ancient power | shore up | freeze dry | conversion | victory dance
aqua step | close combat | baton pass | sacred sword | pollen puff | earth power | head charge | stone axe | slack off | high horsepower
coil | calm mind | flamethrower | fiery dance | mist ball | pollen puff | spiky shield | gunk shot | magical torque | knock off | headlong rush
flamethrower | buzzy buzz | milk drink | high horsepower | slack off

sweet crypt
#

I'm just realising that Slack Off Thic Fat Cetitan might lowkey be fire for Eternatus

#

Anything getting a healing move is good

#

Victory Dance is great on any Physical attacker

warm rose
#

tm counter for possible ice beam?

sweet crypt
#

Earth Power is amazing for most natural Quiver Dancers, Masquerain included, as they struggle with Steel types generally

sweet crypt
warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Wait I can't read Earth Power is on Snorunt

#

Head Charge is nice for Starly, I think Staraptor gets Rock Head or Magic Guard as a passive

warm rose
#

snorunt
which one is that 💀

sweet crypt
#

Stone Axe is nice for hazard setting though Kricketune isn't good

warm rose
#

oh wait

#

the cone shaped ice guy

sweet crypt
#

All of Snivy's egg moves are excellent, Flamethrower is imo the 2nd best even if it is the only one that doesn't abuse Contrary

#

All of the other egg moves are still good, but the ones I mentioned are the ones I'd have the most personal interest in

#

Using Dialga to beat Cyrus' shit in is funny

warm rose
#

2 more eggs
baddy bad for abra
thunderclap for porygon

sweet crypt
#

That random hiker was a bigger threat than Cyrus

sweet crypt
#

Not much else to add to those 2 in particular

#

Ooh, Bug Superfan

#

Quiver Dance would be great on Dialga

#

I got the Quiver Dance

#

They tried to troll me with Shedinja

#

But I have Sunsteel Strike Lucario in the back

#

So nice try

#

Run's pretty much over from here

#

I just need to get a Tera Type that isn't weak to Blaziken

#

Tera Ghost

#

Neat

#

(I instantly one shot Cyrus' Dialga since I was at +5)

#

I have the max leftovers stack of 4 rn

#

Uhhh

#

Why did Clay Tera Ground his Mudsdale

#

... And then Tera Grass his Torterra right after?

#

As it turns out, giving Quiver Dance to Dialga makes it broken

#

Who could've thunk it

#

Gen 4 only done

#

Achievement name is "Is she really the hardest?" (She isn't)

unkempt egret
#

but who is tho (its kikui, technicalities aside)

sweet crypt
#

This fucking bitch has such a broken ass team

unkempt egret
#

actually I forgot what USUM hau even has but I recall it not being overly dangerous

sweet crypt
#

It's a damn good thing that I was also using the dumb lizard

#

Oh wait you're talking about main line

#

Uhh

unkempt egret
#

for rogue I can see geeta yea

sweet crypt
#

In that case I dunno I've found every champion easy

#

I guess BDSP Cynthia maybe because of the EVs

#

Apart from that

#

I dunno

#

I still first tried BDSP Cynthia (Kinda got owned by one of the E4 members though if my memory serves me correct)

unkempt egret
#

yea it's just between those two "and hau I guess" because they have the EVs nobody else has

#

aside from leon's lone 252 HP on his zard I think

#

hm actually how many champs have aces with quad weaknesses, odd question

#

there's gen 1 rival (bulba pick), lance, cynthia, ghetsis (final boss but still), alder, leon, mustard (rapid strike pick) and technically geeta

warm rose
#

just unlocked this

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Alright, here is the timeline
Zacian run -> Gen 2 -> Gen 1 -> Gen 3

warm rose
#

is that what runs ur gonna attempt?

#

in that order?

sweet crypt
#

Yes

#

Once Gen 3 is done, I have gotten every achievement in the game

warm rose
#

oh no

dry skin...

sweet crypt
#

I will say, I am very much not confident in my Gen 1 or Gen 3 runs

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Shiny Phione

#

Pretty cool I suppose

#

The game counterpicked my Zacian using ass with Team Skull

old mountain
sweet crypt
#

Plumeria is a Poison trainer

#

And Guzma has multiple priority users, including possibly Scizor

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Ivy just brought out 2 Baxcaliburs on me???

#

Well twice the free KOs I suppose

#

I mean there isn't anything preventing it

#

Iirc the code for Ivy's team is just any Pokemon above a specific BST threshold

#

I have 3 Soul Dews on Zacian but since I don't have a +attack or +speed nature due to just not having one I now have a Zacian with more SpD than Attack or Speed

#

Eternatus is not gonna know what hit it

#

Or rather what it hit

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Shore Up on a defensive Pokemon, good

warm rose
warm rose
warm rose
sweet crypt
#

On one hand, legendary

#

On the other hand

#

It is Uxie

#

You can catch it if you take it down to the last bar

#

Well, if you get lucky

warm rose
#

nvm caught it just had to sacrifice EVERY other pokemon

#

WOOOOOO

sweet crypt
#

Special Wall Zacian is the funniest thing I have ever brought into the Eternatus fight

#

Not even Crowned

#

Hero of Many Battles

#

And it just solod Eternatus lmao holy shit

#

From using Zacian, I can confirm it deserves its 9 cost

#

A big factor is that the Fairy Caves cycle is extremely consistent

#

And quick enough to get 3 off in a run

#

With 2 biomes in the cycle being primarily Fairy types (Fairy Caves more so than Meadows)

#

Finally got Torch Song on Hatenna

warm rose
#

I love a 30% quick claw proc

sweet crypt
#

Precipice Blades on Zacian unlocked

#

Me likey

warm rose
#

latios do you just wait with redeeming egg vouchers until the next day if you already got the legendary from the legendary up?

sweet crypt
#

Nah, I go for all the egg moves

#

Well, if it's a main carry sort of legend

#

Like Zacian or Miraidon

#

Anyways I got hit by a same level OHKO move

#

So naturally

#

Life is shit

warm rose
#

peak amount of items 🔥

sweet crypt
#

Skill based gameplay right here

sweet crypt
#

If I was nuzlocking right now I would be very upset

warm rose
#

gym leader winona

#

flying type

sweet crypt
#

I am still very upset actually

#

But at least it didn't matter

warm rose
#

which pokemon against who

sweet crypt
#

Alright chat place your bets

#

Am I fighting Red or Lance?

wispy osprey
sweet crypt
#

That is an actual possibility

wispy osprey
#

wait it is? Let’s go im so smart

#

and know how this game works

sweet crypt
#

Pokemon Trainer Red

#

Ima be real

#

The only difference that matters to me

#

Is that one has a lot more sharp beaks for me to steal

#

Red is Dead

#

And there is 0 redemption

warm rose
#

woohoo!!

#

dynamax band is only useful if you have gmaxable mons right

sweet crypt
#

Rival's Gholdengo lives a hit and almost does 50 damage with Astral Barrage

#

Not 50%

#

50

warm rose
#

what should i choose

#

im on wave 166

#

i have 2 candy jars

#

so itll increase my levels by 3

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

wuh oh

#

ill probably be able to beat this

right?

#

linoone with pickup has been really useful for me

sweet crypt
#

And Lugia as expected wipes the fucking FLOOR with Eternatus

sweet crypt
#

Get the Leftovers

#

Manaphy really likes Leftovers

warm rose
#

2 leftovers and a shell bell

sweet crypt
#

It will make setting up Take Heart on Eternatus far easier

#

Besides worst case scenario you just put them on a Pokemon you won't use for Eternatus later

#

Rest probably can serve as good enough healing tbh

#

But sometimes the passive healing does wonders

#

Think of scenarios where you wouldn't be able to get Rest off due to lower speed

warm rose
#

2 whole rows of items on manaphy lol

sweet crypt
#

Or where you'd be forced to rest so much you can barely set up

#

Leftovers helps with those

warm rose
#

this is kinda useful right

#

the other items are pretty much useless

sweet crypt
#

Yeah

#

Gen 1 run time

warm rose
#

desert is good for me right (this is gonna be 171-180)

sweet crypt
#

Yup

#

The main idea behind the Gen 1 run is using Calm Mind Roost Zapdos for Eternatus and Dragon Dance (Mega) Gyarados for everything else

#

To be fair I probably will be using Zapdos for most non major battles

#

Because I need Zapdos Candy to get Drizzle on it

#

Bug Superfan

#

If I get QD here I can turn Zapdos into main carry

#

Sadly not

warm rose
#

oh no

#

paldea e4

sweet crypt
#

Miraidon is a massive issue if your Manaphy is still Tera Water

#

The solution is praying that you roll Nemona instead I suppose

warm rose
#
  1. Rika
  2. Poppy
  3. Larry
  4. Hassel
sweet crypt
#

Pray to all your gods that it somehow doesn't have an Electric move

warm rose
#

the thunder tornado thingy

#

I almost ohkod it with a +3 blizzard

#

i could possibly 2hko it with +0 if i use blizzard on swap in and it doesnt miss both times

#

and i luckily roll 30% quick claw

#

nope it misses the first one

sweet crypt
#

Bro I almost got fucking cooked by mightiest foe brock lmao

warm rose
#

wooo

sweet crypt
#

Having 4 Rock weaknesses and the remaining Pokemon being ground weak is, as it turns out, not great against a Rock type gym leader

#

Especially when you have a level disadvantage

warm rose
#

why the hell does geeta have a tera flying kingambit

sweet crypt
#

Well not always

warm rose
#

really?

sweet crypt
#

Started in DLC2

warm rose
#

wow

sweet crypt
#

But iirc Tera Kingambit was a thing since launch

#

It was just post game

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Ggs

warm rose
#

since i probably wont see any legendaries anymore... should I just use master balls on the paradox pokemons?

sweet crypt
#

That Miraidon is probably the scariest thing you can find yourself facing down that isn't a guaranteed boss AKA literally just Mega Rayquaza

sweet crypt
warm rose
#

ah

sweet crypt
#

But for the ones you have caught, go ahead

warm rose
#

so x speed x spatk and x spdef

#

right

sweet crypt
#

Yes

#

In general every X item is good for these last few waves

#

Since you need every stat you can get

warm rose
#

it is time for the final ivy fight

sweet crypt
#

But for Eternatus, X SpA/Attack (depending on Pokemon), X Speed (If you are fast) and X SpD are the best

#

Chuck really went for the Dire Claw Sleep proc on me

#

You deserve to get swept by Zapdos now

warm rose
#

PEAK

#

latios i just had a peak moment

sweet crypt
#

Xurkitree is trying to murder me now

warm rose
#

look !!

sweet crypt
#

Neat

warm rose
#

aka I win

sweet crypt
#

Why tf did Ivy's Delphox use Howl

#

3 special moves and Howl is crazy set

warm rose
#

except for the last 2 turns (snipe shot)

sweet crypt
#

6 fucking candy jars before 100

#

What the shit

warm rose
#

wow

sweet crypt
#

Shint Lugia yippee

#

I've hatched a shitload of them it was a matter of time

warm rose
#

is the kings rock here good?

sweet crypt
#

Better than everything else at least

warm rose
#

so now i just reroll for the x items right

sweet crypt
#

Yeah

warm rose
#

they all are increased prices... rip

sweet crypt
#

Don't worry, those Leftovers probably mean you win either ways

warm rose
#

i dont think i can catch this

sweet crypt
#

Leave the save

#

Now

#

Wait until you hatch an Iron Valiant

#

Then return

warm rose
#

i need to check if i have rogue balls rq

#

yep 5

sweet crypt
#

You need to have hatched them to catch them iirc

warm rose
#

for epic eggs...
is legendary up better than shiny up?

sweet crypt
#

And the current banner legendary is one of the ones that are

warm rose
#

70 eggs 🔥

#

a legendary and epic egg 🔥

#

lets hope the epic egg is iron valliant

#

should I buy 2 eggs or should I reduce the cost

sweet crypt
#

My Zapdos has 4 Iron and 3 Zinc it unironically may be able to take on Rayquaza itself

sweet crypt
#

Tough call

#

Both are valid

warm rose
#

peak endless start?!?!?!?

sweet crypt
#

Winstrates

#

If I can win this, this is a massive boost for me

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Zapdos is so overleveled rn it easily dealt with them

warm rose
sweet crypt
#

Level 196 for 145 Rival

#

Lmao

#

I got a Tera Fairy Shard I'm overleveling even further

warm rose
#

what lvl r u at rn

sweet crypt
#

214, at Wave 178

warm rose
#

wow

#

tell me what lvl u get to at 200

sweet crypt
#

246

#

Ggs lmao that was a fun run

#

One left

#

The Hoenn main carry is Rayquaza

#

It is nowhere near reliable for Eternatus

#

But the only Pokemon I could find that is

#

Is Kyogre

#

Who is unreliable for 195 rival

#

It's a matter of which one you prefer

#

Or in my case

#

Which one you think you can make work better on the boss it isn't reliable on

#

Mega Rayquaza on wave 22

#

This is an extremely lucky run

#

This is actually my first time out of 4 Rayquaza runs I have gotten the mega

#

Or was it 3?

coarse estuary
#

ok og 6 for my wedgenlocke is here. pairs are spearow and pidgey, ratatta and bulbasaur, butterfree and nidoran female

warm rose
#

YEAAAA

#

litten and starly as first 2 members

sonic sky
#

My max wave on endless pokerogue i think it was 800

#

I was level 2.1k

#

And lost to a random paradox pokemon that i couldnt catch

#

Only have my run history on pc

sweet crypt
#

GG

#

All Achievements are complete

warm rose
#

nice

sweet crypt
#

Now for all ribbons frfr

warm rose
#

yes

#

go

#

and then all shinies !!

sonic sky
sweet crypt
#

So what's currently on my radar then?

#

Well, there's quiet a few Pokemon I still want to try

sonic sky
#

Had to be a rainbow rocket grunt

sweet crypt
#

And apart from those I think I want to return to recommendation runs

#

I like seeing what other people used to beat their runs that they think is underrated

#

It's neat

warm rose
#

battle 2:
Torracat
Staravia
Sigilyph

sweet crypt
#

It allows to shine the spotlight on otherwise unpopular Pokemon
