[unkempt egret]

alright so tatsugiri wasn't great mostly because man it's movepools is barren from supports

at least in the context of wo-chien raiding

also fidough's good, did use it in my blind run of scarlet

[sweet crypt]

Solo running makes my options very easy

[unkempt egret]

||it's probably one of the best counters you can get to scarlet's final boss actually||

[sweet crypt]

Either use a Pokemon with massive damage or lose

Which is why I'm so fucking scared of Ting-Lu

[native trench]

Oh right this was a post I made on a seperate server. an actual screenshot i got

[sweet crypt]

Like to put things into perspective, Ting-Lu's bulk allows to to tank Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast

It isn't even close to being an OHKO

[unkempt egret]

meanwhile the one numel not concerned

[sweet crypt]

And its physical bulk is higher (even with ability)

And I'm on a fucking time limit to beat this thing

[unkempt egret]

but yea reminds me in GO when you engage a pokemon then back out they'll always be looking at your trainer

[sweet crypt]

If any of the Treasures were to not reach the goal, it'd be Ting-Lu

I feel like it's probably the worst shiny of the 4

And it's also gonna be the hardest to defeat

It isn't like it doesn't hit hard, it has 110 Attack, that's not amazing but it's definitely something

[unkempt egret]

wait yea it's ground typed

I think they're gonna have to give some anti-grass coverage or else it'll basically be what this raid is with the crocs except with serperiors lol

[sweet crypt]

I'm not even sure if Serperior would be able to kill it in time

Serperior's base SpA is quite low

And Ting-Lu can reset it

And I think the ability nullify would nullify Contrary

[native trench]

ive got some fun snapshots and vids from SV

[unkempt egret]

yea we'll see what it has but I'm not overly concerned about any of them right now

[sweet crypt]

Leaf Storm also has limited PP

My current plan is to pray Specs Kyogre is enough damage

[unkempt egret]

since I think the only tier 5 raid we've seen was an issue was Iron Leaves and that's mostly for the SD spam factor

[sweet crypt]

Because if it isn't I'm fucking screwed

[native trench]

one of my cutest GO screenshots

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

[sweet crypt]

Physical should be about as good as special here

[unkempt egret]

meanwhile me in GO is like

[sweet crypt]

Ability evens things out a lot

I think Special would be slightly better for it?

Yeah, Special is marginally better

[sweet crypt]

Special is better vs Chien-Pao but it shouldn't matter too much since Chien-Pao is frail on both ends

Physical is better vs Chi-Yu

And this definitely matters

Chi-Yu is quite specially bulky

I have Kingambit for Chien-Pao in hopes that it doesn't have Sacred Sword

If it does, that will complicate things a ton

I dont have anything else set up for Chien Pao

Paldean Tauros should be a good shout

But I am a bit worried since Aqua doesn't have good Fighting STAB that doesn't lower bulk

I may need to load up my copy of Scarlet to go get a Blaze Tauros and send it over with HOME

I guess Azumarill could work too since it resists all the moves and has decent bulk

Though I don't have any SE moves for it

Iron Hands could also work

I think that will be the 2nd thing I try should Chien-Pao have Sacred Sword

If it has Swords Dance I'm just gonna accept my defeat

And pray that Chi-Yu doesn't have Nasty Plot

[tight granite]

i hope they dont actually mean you need to use megas in the wild mega battles

cause either the game will have plenty of megas or i just wont do the wild mega stuff

i wont be forced to play with a mega just cause i need to

[native trench]

these babies like to hang with each other, so I'm pretty sure they're in love 😄

[devout crag]

wait that fuckass Volo has 8 pokemons that i have to fight no heals???

[devout crag]

but one is a piece of metal

[sweet crypt]

2 fucking omniboosted Giratina
"Holy shit"

• Anyone playing the game, probably

This is what happens when everyone says Pokemon is too easy, I fucking guess

I dont mind either ways but it is hilarious how ridiculous the Volo fight is

[devout crag]

i can guess why they made shitlet and midliotet so easy then

[unkempt egret]

hors

[sweet crypt]

hors

[warm rose]

hors

[devout crag]

they should have outfits for pokemons

[native trench]

Hey, love is love, man :3

doggos

and whatever gouging fire is, i think they said cat??

Okay this one was funny

[cloud lark]

I two-shot those Giratina. It wasn't as exciting a fight as everyone was hyping it up to be

[sweet crypt]

I guess you were higher leveled than I was

Because my first Volo clear I was only 3HKOing with H-Samurott

But ofc, Giratina is more than capable of 2HKOing me with Aura Sphere

And dodging every fucking move I use because it used Shadow Force 1(one) time

Man I fucking hate evasion

Tbh that's the hardest part of the Giratina fight

The fact that Shadow Force in PLA is such a piece of shit bastard move

[native trench]

that always got me in Stadium

"It EvAdEd ThE aTtAcK" Oddish smugly dances

[sweet crypt]

They should fucking remove Double Team and other evasion raising moves from the game tbh

Like fuck being iconic to the game they're just cancerous

That's like saying Psychic type being batshit insane was iconic to Pokemon so they should've kept it that way

Except even more stupid

Since at least Psychic being batshit insane isn't literally 100% RNG bullshit

Not even abusing the RNG bullshit is fun

Because its pure RNG

When I win with it, it doesn't feel like I've earned a win

It feels like I'm cheesing it

That's probably just me though

[sweet crypt]

If you want to say the name of the Pokemon that gets the mega please use spoiler tags

Consensus seems very split on it, yet everywhere else I've done the poll it ended up 99% the same answer

[native trench]

i feel like this might be inviting trouble... in my experience those who hate on the decisions gamefreak makes are...less than kind to those who like the new stuff.

[sweet crypt]

Surely the server will remain more civil while discussing this

Surely

[native trench]

fingers crossed

[narrow pine]

I think ultimately its very lackluster and could've done more.

||It does too little. IMO it should've commited to the wings motif and have like three sets of those massive wings to lean into the guardian angel imagery. Otherwise it just looks like a Tera Flying Dragonite with a long tail||

[native trench]

If I had any say, which I don't and recognize, I'd ask for a Mega ||Arcanine|| , which I would love and no doubt because it was made by gamefreak everyone else would hate

or a mega ||meowscarada|| 😉

(I remember designing a Mega Primeape back before Annihilape came out

thatd be a fun one too

also hey be glad it's not the PFQ design XDDD

[manic yarrow]

Hoping for a mega torterra

[verbal ember]

tbf I think mega ||dragonite looks really bad. I mean I get it he was always goofy but the wings on his head feel out of place, they are just too big for no reason, little wings and small changes to his body would've looked much better / would've just made more sense. Also its such a lazy design, I know many other megas have very slight changes but they at least put the effort to make them look more powerful / beautiful / stylish... ||

[scenic whale]

|| Y'all just call anything lazy nowadays 😭😭😭 I honestly don't get the hate. I think it's pretty, not the best mega, but pretty||

[ruby sigil]

Idk if this is the place for this but does anyone want to help me with doing some group bbqs?

[unkempt egret]

this is actually the proper place, I can hop on in about 10-15 min if you're still available

[ruby sigil]

im available still

[unkempt egret]

gimmie a sec to hop on

also as a heads up to anyone who wants to grind the wo-chien raids uh

sell your grass tera shards often

feels like you get something like 40-80 of em per raid

alright should be ready, which one of uss will host?

[ruby sigil]

i dont mind i can set one up right now

[unkempt egret]

once you're ready drop the link code and I can hop in

[ruby sigil]

FXVR4R

[unkempt egret]

there we go that should be correct

[ruby sigil]

yep got you now. you ok to go to dms to chat?

[unkempt egret]

sure

[devout crag]

erm

why isnt it evolved

[unkempt egret]

if it's theirs, enemies need not care about evolution levels

if it's yours...

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-eyeglass-exellent-question-gif-12818139

[manic yarrow]

In the main games some trainers use a fully evolved pokemon at a different level than the one it should evolve at

[devout crag]

it aint mine dw

[devout crag]

yeah but like

its alr a silcoon against a infernape overleved

make it slightly more fair by giving it the flying type💔

[devout crag]

does this team stand a chance against volos 8 pokemons

[native trench]

inhales HOOT

[simple oxide]

does he know?

[frank lily]

Petilil has a mark

[quasi dagger]

full odds shiny litleo in violet :)

[brisk hedge]

I remember Litleo's shiny being way worse for some reason

[devout crag]

im starting to give up on volo chat😔

my best run had 3 left and didnt do shit on giratina😔

not even his final form

[tight granite]

lul

[devout crag]

cynthia cleans volo's shoes if he even has them

i decided to get a moon in super mario odyssey every try with volo, now im at 80 moons

[sweet crypt]

Something tells me Cynthia would not take more than 80 tries to beat

But also if you're struggling this much you may want to like

Level a bit

And then come back

Or change your team if necessary idfk

[devout crag]

im lvl 66 on everyone

i aint changing the team that carried my ass all the way here

how could u betray them

i suppose ill level them to lvl 70

[devout crag]

i beat that fraud first try

volo tho

[sweet crypt]

I misread your sentence lmao

[devout crag]

hollup eevee mass outbreak

not a shiny😔

[quasi dagger]

i don’t remember if there is one in the dex, but a speedy ice type would go a long way in that fight

togekiss, garchomp, roserade are all weak to ice

[devout crag]

Like half has fighting moves

[quasi dagger]

ig garchomp has iron head

and then lucario counters pretty well

[scenic whale]

Use froslass

[quasi dagger]

is staraptor doing anything other than beating roserade?

[devout crag]

well i said i aint changing team

[devout crag]

1 hes there cuz he da goat 2 he takes out arcanine and lucario somehow

[quasi dagger]

close combat?

staraptor is kinda the goat

[devout crag]

ye

[velvet locust]

Any advice for making a pokémon fangame

[unkempt egret]

this is gonna sound really basic but have a central idea first

like are you going for a fakemon region, a canon region but with a gimmick, a crossover game, or something that plays with the usual formula, or potentally not even an RPG

[dense pewter]

who out there with an unevolved starter, dragonite, lucario and kirlia

[unkempt egret]

the marketers clearly (aside from maybe the kirlia not being a gardevior)

[delicate hollow]

Guys I wish there was a open world rom hack or fan game set in a new region with 100+ Fakemon plus new regional variants plus new evolutions plus convergent forms as I can't find any damn Google search

[devout crag]

is almost 300 speed enough to outspeed volo or nah

[mighty robin]

XY was 12 years ago

[unkempt egret]

15 years was...

HG/SS's international release and BW's japanese release

XY was the first main series game that had a global release, which became a standard moving forwards

probably so they could justify giving a gourgeist to diantha considering the release was in october

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/eeyup-mlp-my-little-pony-gif-5373831

[pine ingot]

ZA is out?

No

[unkempt egret]

not yet

[celest light]

Honestly looking at vgc over the years despite so many people not liking the power creep this is so much better of a state for the vgc then most other states

Especially 2016
Or gen 8

[devout crag]

just saved this guy's spheal from multiple lethal treats

https://tenor.com/view/evil-superman-gif-632723218522114279

[celest light]

So
Which starter do you thinks gonna have the best glowup competitively wise
I feel like meganium literally can't get worse

Like
If the starter somehow isnt bare minimum better id be shocked

[devout crag]

meganium is probably worst starter ever

well theres chesnaught

he gets fighting type moves at least?

who should be replaced by a fairy type (for volo)

[celest light]

Guranteed the worst
Chesnaught aint even top 3 imo

[devout crag]

yeah

hollup let me check if it learns decent stuff at least

[celest light]

Top 3 is og decidueye
Og samarott
And meganium

[devout crag]

samurott is goated

[celest light]

Its more that hes
Just a little better then being a purely average pokemon

Which puts him above feraligatr

[celest light]

As a mon
Agreed
Competitively
Bottom 3 starters easily

Delphox is also pretty rough

[devout crag]

to be honest beside rillaboom incineroar and maybe venosaur ion think starters saw that much competitive

pretty sure i found a venosaur team that was in the finals

[celest light]

Hisuan typhlosion
Charizard
Emboar only did cause it was fuckin wolfy who did it

Primarina had a place at points

[devout crag]

wolfey is a mad man he doesnt count for it

[devout crag]

didnt know abt hisuian

charizard is kinda expected

[celest light]

The typhlosions pretty good as an alternate version

[devout crag]

yeah

[celest light]

I have to give the goat(pig) emboar thay credit though

Like
Irs still my second fav fire starter

[devout crag]

well then also fletching needs to be talked abt

[devout crag]

understandable it was my fav fire type starter too

[celest light]

Fletching isnt a flaming wrestler though so

[devout crag]

he did get used by wolfey

as a tailwind setter

[celest light]

it didnt win worlds though when it did

[devout crag]

it was a pretty important tournament to qualify for the worlds tho

[celest light]

True enough

Emboar still on top though (please let the new version beat incinaroar)

[devout crag]

end of the day less then 7 starters are viable in competitive

[devout crag]

doubt its happening

seeing what they did to dragonite

[celest light]

Tbf ive seen all the hisuan ones in high placed teams

Id say its half viable half non existent

[devout crag]

how does some1 use hisuian decideye

[celest light]

it was during the non restricted formats

[devout crag]

makes sense

[celest light]

Lots of weird teams could shine then

Love thay formst

Best format ever

[devout crag]

lol

in the end just use incineroar

is there anyone that loves incineroar with all his heart purely for the deisign and not his competive

[celest light]

I honestly find him kinda boring

I know peolle who like him

[devout crag]

hes strange idk

[celest light]

But like
Hes one of 3 fighter themed fire type starters

And i only like 1 of the 3

[devout crag]

infernape?

[celest light]

Emboar

[devout crag]

dang

[celest light]

Infernape is based on wukong

Not professional fighting

[devout crag]

still fighting

[devout crag]

dang i tought fighting in general

like could it trow hands

[celest light]

True but im talking based on the professional fighting styles there

[celest light]

Pretty sure every fighting type starter can and will throw hands

Or feet

Or walls of flames

[devout crag]

i dont see chesnaught trowing hands that well ngl

those things on the shoulder look like they limit his movement

[sweet crypt]

Chesnaught is unironically the current 3rd best Grass starter, with a possible argument for 4th instead of 3rd

(In a Singles context)

[devout crag]

dang

how

im curious rn

[sweet crypt]

Also mb, it'd be 4th with an argument for 5th

[devout crag]

i follow doubles mostly

[sweet crypt]

Because I forgor to include Serperior

In Singles, the undisputed 3 best Grass starters are Meowscarada, Rillaboom (in either order) and Serperior

[devout crag]

understandable

in double i almost never see grass type starters just rillabooms

[sweet crypt]

After those, it's an argument between Chesnaught, who is the highest tiered in RU, and Venusaur, who is the only Grass starter apart from the top 3 with a niche in OU (Sun Sweeper)

[devout crag]

my king venosaur so goated hes a sweeper🥹

[sweet crypt]

If you include Megas, Venusaur is confidently better

But I can't say I'm sure for Sceptile

[devout crag]

i mean overall

[sweet crypt]

Tbh, Mega Sceptile may be worse than Chesnaught

I'm unsure

[devout crag]

but rn we include tera for obvious reasons

mega in the next game

dynamax gigamax are gone for good

[sweet crypt]

OK but those are both banned in Singles

Good fucking riddance

[devout crag]

mh

[sweet crypt]

Dynamax is more broken than any Pokemon

[devout crag]

its gone so✌️

ngl in SwSh times ion think many even used them that much

there was zacian

[sweet crypt]

Venusaur, like most weather sweepers, is ranked pretty low at PU despite having a niche in multiple higher tiers

[devout crag]

idc my king is still a sweeper🥹

ill take that

[sweet crypt]

Sceptile is ZU, with the caveat that it got Unburden banned in ZU

Though without Unburden, it struggles

Decidueye is NU while H-Decidueye is PU

[devout crag]

well a lot of pokemon are good or bad depeding on their abilities

[sweet crypt]

When Decidueye was PU, H-Decidueye was ZU because of species clause

Torterra is PUBL

Meganium is ZU

[devout crag]

like incinearoar and rillaboom not seeing any play at all until they got their hidden abilities

[sweet crypt]

Rillaboom and Meowscarada are currently UUBL, while Serperior is RUBL

The Grass starters are on average the weakest starters I feel

Which makes sense - the same applies for its type compared to the other starter types

[devout crag]

yeah pretty much

ima replay hgss now

wich starter do i get

[sweet crypt]

I am curious now though, how do the Fire and Water starters compare vs each other?

[devout crag]

good question

[sweet crypt]

Zard and Typhlosion are ZU, Emboar is ZUBL, Delphox and H-Typhlosion are PU, Infernape and Incineroar are NU, Skeledirge is UU, Blaziken is UUBL and Cinderace is OU

Water is the better type, so presumably it will have better starters on average

[devout crag]

in doubles i almost never seen water type starters

their either the best of their trio or the worst

[sweet crypt]

Samurott is ZU, Inteleon and Swampert are NU, Feraligatr is NUBL, Empoleon is RU, Blastoise is RUBL, Greninja is UU, Quaquaval is UUBL and Primarina and H-Samurott are OU

It's obvious just looking at this that Water is far better in Singles

I want to note that both Water and Fire have 1 Mega Starter that is Ubers, though Mega Blastoise needs NatDex to be broken as it needs Shell Smash, which Blastoise only gets in Gens 8 and 9

Base Greninja, Cinderace and base Blaziken have been Ubers before, with the latter 2 having pre nerf Protean/Libero

I wonder how good Meowscarada would've been with Pre Nerf Protean?

I reckon it'd be at least OU, and may even be Ubers

Fire undoubtedly wins the Mega department, with 2 OU Megas and 1 Ubers Mega (in Gen 7, Mega Zard X is UUBL in Gen 9 NatDex)

Considering how both Grass and Water have 1 starter below OU, they literally cannot match Fire

Even if the other was Ubers

[celest light]

Honestly i dont follow any of smogens stuff and am very bias against it on how i enjoy pokemon

But like
Its so complicated to look at

[unkempt egret]

especially since comparing smogon's 6v6 singles format to regular pokemon's 4v4 doubles format is like comparing elephants and elephant seals.

[warm rose]

do they have a max?

[unkempt egret]

999 is the max yes

[warm rose]

ah

ok

ive gotten to beat it pretty consistwntly

ogerpon flame mask thingy

[warm rose]

fuck the lighting/tera man....

thought this was dhiny

prolly stupid for that but yeh

[coarse estuary]

bro this wonderlock will never end if it takes like 5 mins for each trade

[rotund herald]

How many times has anyone kicked the first ruin treasure shiny's shell? I beaten moss Gary the snail at least four or six times.

[unkempt egret]

I've lost count at this point, I wish they gave us a tracker so we could see how far we've come with it

[sweet crypt]

Like, 3? 4? Idk

Beating it is consistent with Ogerpon I think

At the very least I haven't lost once while using it

[sweet crypt]

That said I almost lost once because the teammate Arboliva stalls so fucking hard with Seed Sower, as does Tera Grass Giga Drain

[tropic hinge]

The strat I've been getting consistent wins with is just ogerpon fire mask and ivy cudgel. One growth at the start, though probably not needed, and just beat the crap out of it.

[sweet crypt]

Ogerpon can learn Swords Dance, you may want to use that instead

By may I mean will

Because SD is just better

Ogerpon ain't gonna be using any special attacks anytime soon

[tropic hinge]

Oh, I'll absolutely switch that out.

[unkempt egret]

Focus Energy is an additonal option so that cudgel always crits

[brisk hedge]

WTF are toe beans?

[bright summit]

[raven plover]

he has cynthia's garchomp btw

he has lucario btw

togekiss btw

just with a hisuian arcanine

[lyric sail]

Should I get legends arceus or just wait for legends za

[bright summit]

Wait for Pokemon Infinite Fusion: Legends Zapmolcuno /j

[unkempt egret]

your call on that one

I dunno if I'll get either since I'm not a big fan of how the gameplay goes unlike most people

I'll have to wait and see on ZA though since I'm more charitable now than I was back in 2022 with legends rofl

[hard plume]

bruh you don't know what toe beans are??

i win

Pokestar Moment

[sage moss]

I am sort of on a kick for replaying my older Pokemon games. About half way through LG. Sent over all the exclusives from FR and the starters so I can just go for everything

Maybe Ill replay legends A after because I haven’t touched that since I first played it three years ago

[noble saffron]

legends arceus is cool

I'm also on an old game kick, playin thru my saphire cartridge for the first time

[hybrid dirge]

Pokemon HGSS sevii islands takes so long to download

[sweet crypt]

Hey wait a minute isn't it weird that Fighting doesn't have a consistent, drawbackless physical option?

That's good, I mean

Like Sacred Sword I guess but that's quite a rare move

And Body Press but it scales off Defence so it's weird to include for this purpose since I'm more so talking about moves for wallbreakers/sweepers

Of course they're gonna be using Close Combat over that theoretical move anyways like 99% of the time

But isn't it strange that for all types to not have an option like that, it'd be the Fighting Type?

Brick Break hasn't aged well in terms of damage

[bronze dirge]

i like drain punch

oh and power up punch

very basic and they buff you so they can get pretty nice

[sweet crypt]

PUP isn't exactly a main STAB type of move

It starts off way too weak for that

[bronze dirge]

true

[sweet crypt]

And Drain Punch struggles with damage like Brick Break

Good on bulky Bulk Up sweepers though

[bronze dirge]

yeah you really are right thinking about it

[sweet crypt]

I love me some Bulk Up Drain Punch

[bronze dirge]

aside from like flying press

but thats

very specific

[sweet crypt]

Flying Press is weird it's 2 types at once

And it ends up working against it

[bronze dirge]

yeah

[sweet crypt]

So usually you see Hawlucha run like

Close Combat and Brave Bird/Acrobatics

And not Flying Press

[bronze dirge]

its very rare youd need both those anyways

types*

so i see why

dang

fighting really is slept on huh

[sweet crypt]

Not really, Flying covers Fighting very well and vice versa

[bronze dirge]

i meant

both the types of flying press

you never really need both

at once

[sweet crypt]

Oh yeah no you really don't

[bronze dirge]

so you can just use the better moves

[sweet crypt]

Like maybe there's a niche case where it works

[bronze dirge]

like cus its flying fighting you cant use it against rock right?

[sweet crypt]

But usually you're gonna be realising that all of a sudden Landorus Therian resists your Flying STAB

[bronze dirge]

cus its neutral

[sweet crypt]

Or that Heatran is neutral to your Fighting STAB

[bronze dirge]

yeahh

[sweet crypt]

I dont think there's many combos where having a move with both types would actually be good

If any

[bronze dirge]

yeah literally theres no crossroads for those types to even be quad effective

itd be really cool if it was the one move that could be like

octuple

oh a dark fighting type maybe?

nah thats just quad

[sweet crypt]

Yeah best is 4× SE

You need Normal/Ice/Dark and Grass/Fighting to do so (as in, one of the first 3 types combod with one of the latter 2)

But like none of these types are good defensively

And I think the only Pokemon where it could matter is like

Abomasnow

Because of the Snow Defence boost

That said Hawlucha does have low attack

It really is carried by Unburden and its type

252+ Atk Hawlucha Flying Press vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Abomasnow in Snow: 328-388 (85.6 - 101.3%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Hawlucha Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Abomasnow in Snow: 198-234 (51.6 - 61%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

For just one massive case of opportunity cost, leading to many matchups being severely fucked over no matter what move you replace, you can beat Abomasnow 12.5%* of the time instead of 0% of the time!
-# *11.875% when accounting for the miss

And if you're using Swords Dance (which, let's be honest, you are), guess what! The only tangible change is if both you and your opponent only have 1 Pokemon left and those Pokemon are Hawlucha and Abomasnow and your Hawlucha is at neutral Attack either because it had to attack something or get OHKOd or Abomasnow KOd your previous Pokemon, which in the latter case there's a good chance Abomasnow is chipped enough to be KOd by Close Combat anyways

[bronze dirge]

yeah so just

pointless

and idk just fire type

theres plenty of fire type moves thatd just nuke abomasnow

[brisk hedge]

if you were to hand me the reins of gen 7 I would have given bidoof/bibarel splash because maybe, maybe, simple turning z-splash into a +6 to your attack would make them like RU viable

[bronze dirge]

itd be great for lopunny too actually

cus it learns baton pass and splash

[unkempt egret]

pretty sure lop does have it yea

also I think any Z-move stat boosts ignore simple sadly

I remember trying simple beam Z-trick or treat gourgeist and only got +1's anyway

[upper glen]

Insane theory. Megas, Dynamax, Terapagos and Terastallization, and Laquium from the Horizons anime are all result of the Ultimate Weapon, and in fact the raids caused by each gimmick are all result of unfiltered Infinity Energy that takes solid form as Laquium. Purple energy is associated with the raids of all of the gimmicks in some way, even in PLZA, where Rogue Mega Evolutions have purple swirls around them prior to and whilst engaging them in a battle.

[unkempt egret]

oddly enough I had that as a headcanon but not related to Laquium (since it predated that)

but the idea I had was that the ultimate weapon firing split my timeline into two: one where all of the post gen 6 gimmicks exist (where it was fired) and one where none of them do (where it was stopped from firing)

the idea is that the energy from the weapon was dispersed into the world, giving rise to all of those gimmicks (I'm willing to ignore the implications that some of them existed far before 3000 years ago) while in the other timeline that energy was simply lost

there is some alternate timeline stuff but thankfully just two as opposed to the idea of "every save file is its own canon" that gens 6/7 (and technically 5 too but there I think it's just tied to entralink?) gave us rofl

[brisk hedge]

Are you posting this in every server you’re in?

[upper glen]

Well every one that is Pokémon-adjacent and willing to theorize with me/try to debunk it.

[brisk hedge]

I will say that the Terrastalize example you provided is only what certain raid dens look like

As far as the anime thing goes, the anime and the games are two separate universes and you should never attempt to combine them

[unkempt egret]

that also goes for any other spin-off too (most notably PMD)

but especially the anime which has repeatedly based multiple plots on it not being like the games

[tropic hinge]

My issue with this is that dynamax is specifically tied to particles from Eternatus, who as far as I'm aware came from another world. And there seems to be a link between terapagos and the weapon, though the more common version I've seen was terapagos' energy being used to create the weapon.

[unkempt egret]

hm maybe

ROFL my brain's like "how to fix: in non-mega world walk up to eternatus egg and go "skedaddle skedoodle your lifespan's now a noodle!""

"...does that mean you made it live longer or"

[tropic hinge]

Instead of 'how long is a piece of string' it's 'how long is a noodle'.

[sweet crypt]

I dont think it's likely for Dynamax considering its source is a massive space alien dragon

[covert fiber]

i think i know the origin of alpha pokemon in legends arceus

arceus is known as the alpha pokemon, and its pretty big and strong itself. so what if they took some of those traits and applied it to everyday pokemon

[sweet crypt]

I could see it causing a change in the Terapagos species that led to it becoming the source for Terastalisation, but that feels unlikely to me too

[covert fiber]

idk if i explained that correctly

[sweet crypt]

Alphas exist irl too, as basically leaders of a pack of animals, which does apply to at least some of the Alphas in L:A where they're found near others of its evolutionary line

That said, this doesn't apply to every Alpha, for example the Alpha Snorlax

So fair enough ig

[covert fiber]

that is true tho...

like wolves

[ivory turret]

guys
insurgence vs inf fusion
which better

[vital flare]

Inf fusion

[bronze dirge]

inf fusion for me so far, its far more finished

[ivory turret]

yea imma say inf fusion as well

the fusion mechanic is more creative than deltas

[bronze dirge]

mhm!

[ivory turret]

tho insurgence's very high level of difficulty for a pokemon game is a nice touch

[bronze dirge]

yeah i did enjoy the elite four

even if the ai was a bit broken

[ivory turret]

im probably gonna sleep rn

its 2 am and i almost forgot to save after catching moltres

[bronze dirge]

gn

[lucid gulch]

Some wild luck

[unkempt egret]

nice immediate god pack

also I heckin want that shiny leafeon

[lucid gulch]

funny part is its not even the eevee packs, its the new lugia/ho-oh ones

but hey, more eeveelutions why not

[raven plover]

ahhh shit

i think i have to fight him there

🥀 havent prepare for this

[unkempt egret]

need to re-do that one because they hit my fox with a watering can on the final turn shakin my head my head

[uncut oracle]

something something ho-oh was traced i guess and this happened

it still did the zooming in to show the animation thing but it was just a solid black screen for like 3 seconds and then it went back

[placid iris]

I think that mostly applies in captivity, as the person who discovered it was trying his entire life to rebuke it afterwards

[unkempt egret]

right yea turns out that captivity does things to many species and it took us a long time to fully accept it rofl

(in that case it was quick to get corrected but the general population liked using the idea to justify bad behavior so it stuck around)

[placid iris]

yeah, wild wolf packs are more commonly families

[ornate shadow]

Yo after my blaze black 2 run, what type should I use only in it

[warm rose]

Welp.... i killed my entire team I guess

[bright summit]

What was this mf cooking?

[spice bison]

Just found my old games.

[quaint gale]

I know this says games but I couldn’t find a channel for the show so I’ll say it here

I just found out there is a concerning amount of people who ship Alain with Mairin… I always viewed their interactions as closer to that of siblings

Alain and Mairin are two people from the XYZ arc of the anime

It’s also concerning because I always assumed Alain was much older than Mairin

[unkempt egret]

I dunno if that'd be more at home here or in Off Topic but shipping I've learned not to mess with

...wow that was the world's worst metaphor I almost said but some of them just go off appearances or personalities alone without considering anything else

[simple quartz]

Mmmmmm yeah that's a whole ass child

[quaint gale]

Now you see why I’m concerned

I wanted photos of Marin as a reference for making her in a character maker

[narrow pine]

Those look like fangame characters

[quaint gale]

They actually appeared in the anime

I liked how the two interacted because it was like siblings

[narrow pine]

o

[ornate shadow]

What pokemon type should I use only in blaze black 2

[narrow pine]

Uh

[unkempt egret]

just for laughs let's go normal like I'm doing in Shield

[narrow pine]

Play the "A better game" type

I'm not a fan of BBVW2

[unkempt egret]

if I could add a rule of "no chansey/blissey" I would but I'm not in control of that lol

I'm also not a huge fan of BB2 but only because I'm not a huge fan of drayano's hacks in general. I see what they're going for though and I respect them on it, more of a thing I see as not being for me

if you want a non-normal type, electric sounds like it'd be a fun time

[narrow pine]

I just hate how the hack balances pokemon (like actively nerfing anything popular) and its difficulty is just plain fucking cheating

[ornate shadow]

I mean electric or normal would be cool.

[simple quartz]

Average difficult romhack moment

[narrow pine]

Drayanos usually better than that

The issue is that BBWV2 isn't made by Drayano, it just has his name lol

[ornate shadow]

How’s my team so far? 7 badges rn

[unkempt egret]

with drayano I'm more not a fan of the "every fight has 6 pokemon with endgame moves from the first major boss" design but I can see that having good appeal

and that team looks good so far, Cinccino hopefully has some nutty coverage

[ornate shadow]

It has technician bullet seed, rock blast, tail slap and power-up-punch(didn’t know it could learn-)

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

[ornate shadow]

I believe loaded dice sadly wasn’t added yet but cinccino has survived atleast 1 fighting move depending on the pokemon

[unkempt egret]

looking at bulb I think power-up punch must have been a hack addition

but on cinccino it's probably nice with technician since it's now 60 base power

[ornate shadow]

Or it could be a new thing exclusive to ROM of BW2

[unkempt egret]

reminds me of a run of X I did where Audino was using power-up punch hilariously well

[ornate shadow]

Bc they added pokemon new types

[unkempt egret]

sadly audino is a 15% encounter in one area of X/Y so not a thing you'd get to use often

[ornate shadow]

Emboar is fire ground

[unkempt egret]

ah I see

[ornate shadow]

Charmeleon/charizard is dragon, along with servine/evo(never can spell)

[unkempt egret]

Serperior I believe

[ornate shadow]

And prankster Whimsicott with tailwind😈

Probably will keep team to endgame idk yet

[raven plover]

fat paycheck for every mass outbreak

[tropic hinge]

And I spend all of it on mint farming.

[ornate shadow]

What game should I play after I’m done with blaze black 2:

The black 2 redux is the blaze Black 2

[unkempt egret]

the only one of those I've played is Unbound so how about that

[ornate shadow]

Which starter should I choose

[unkempt egret]

I usually go with Metang so why not that?

also nice catch to wrap up july

been trying to get one with good stats and a hundo just randomly showed up rofl

[ornate shadow]

I chose gible bc if I chose metang then rival has gible who has ground against metang

But rival has larvitar against my gible

Here’s the Team so far

[unkempt egret]

nice nice

[ornate shadow]

I just got a phantump

[warm rose]

Spinnin

[sage moss]

I’m trying to catch all the hard Pokémon in the Safari zone in leaf green. I’m going to run into a shiny at this rate before I get any of them.

[brisk hedge]

And that’s why no one likes the Safari Zone

[sage moss]

I do have Colosseum and XD. Maybe I could just catch them in there and send them over lol

[brisk hedge]

That’d be so much easier. Or at least more fun

[sage moss]

Just got kangaskhan. That’s one off the list

[sage moss]

Chansey is got

[delicate hollow]

Sinnoh is my least favourite region and I am avoiding the gen 4 games from now on since I had so much difficulty navigating the region and don't get me started with the distortion world even without a mon knowing Strength that place is a literal hell to go through

[ornate shadow]

How’s my team for Pokemon Unbound so far

[honest cliff]

When is pokemon Z-A release?

[brisk hedge]

October 16th

[unkempt egret]

still looks good so far

I love how I get to kabu's intro scene and Hop's just staring at a shuckle

[honest cliff]

Just got switch 2 today just for new Pokémon game and other game in future xD

What’s good is switch 2 have 220+ GB but switch 1 had only 32 GB

[unkempt egret]

yea I was surprised about that considering my micro SD card didn't work in S2 and I was like 'oh no"

[honest cliff]

lol

[unkempt egret]

...kabu, you okay?

didn't turn 1 WoW, must have pre-rolled a crit on ember if I'm willing to guess

ok just passivley got a burn with flame wheel

willing to overlook that because the opening ember didn't burn

ok that was pretty painless, G-max centi went as planned, thank you double shed shell that wasn't actually needed because only the first hit was G-max fire spin

[quasi dagger]

why the hell does geeta have an avalugg and a gogoat😭

i'm replaying violet for the first time in forever and i feel like those 2 team members make no sense

[narrow pine]

All of her Pokemon represent each area of Paldea

[quasi dagger]

i did not realize that

[unkempt egret]

the gogoat at least has a bulk up set that can possibly threaten something not named skeledirge, avalugg's just better used by you than by the enemies

[quasi dagger]

i ohko'ed both of them

[unkempt egret]

also ||not being the final boss of her own campaign|| too

[quasi dagger]

i can't believe i even won that fight

my indeedee lived a tera blast from glimmora on 7 hp

[unkempt egret]

niiice

that glimmora's pretty dangerous with 130+ special attack and tera

[quasi dagger]

i thought i was done for indeedee was on half hp

[unkempt egret]

wait frick

I gotta still fight avery before I can unlock EV training

and he gets to freely spam max ooze with no way for me to stop it?

[quasi dagger]

easily my most scuffed regular playthrough team of all time

[unkempt egret]

oof

assuming that's not a nuz with "regular playthrough"

[quasi dagger]

yeah i just wanted to play through violet again

honestly not as bad as i remember it

[unkempt egret]

understandable

yea it's a fun one to replay since I kinda see it as like a boss rush game since the common trainers are optional

eugh gross!

so basically avery gets a free +2 special attack unless he somehow comes out on diggersby in which case it's probably only +1

ok I have an idea but I have to blow up Dunsparce for it to work

wait hang on one of my normals is heliolisk which I'm already using anyway since it has a water immunity

so IF-pilled that I keep forgetting eerie impulse isn't Lanturn's signature move

[unkempt egret]

...right slowpoke's priority is tied to its ability not shell arm itself!

alright slowbro's down

diggersby even tanked an input-reading D-Water Pulse

[quasi dagger]

shiny moth from area zero!

[knotty oak]

yo i recomend givonni orgins top teir fan game its rpg x maker to no rom hack needed

[tawdry pendant]

what are the best pokemon rom hacks to play?

[tawdry pendant]

can this be played on iphone??

[knotty oak]

not sure honestly

[tawdry pendant]

dang alr

you got any other rom hack suggestions??

[quasi dagger]

emerald imperium is fun if you like difficult, unbound is also really good

[tawdry pendant]

Ive already beaten emerald imp

[delicate hollow]

I believe i am going deaf cos I cannot hear that damn bombirdier cry it's just very muffled and almost quiet should a volume be turned to full blast or something?

[unkempt egret]

some of the gen 9 cries are just messed up like that

[ornate shadow]

Who should my last mon be in unbound? Here’s my Team right now gonna train Chimchar just got it

[unkempt egret]

I'm thinking maybe a steel or a normal type to make the E4 a bit easier? not sure

my suggestion actually would have been Pyorar but you already have a fire type in infernape

[ornate shadow]

I might get mega aggron or mega kangaskan

Or even mega lopunny to be cheesy and hit ghost types with normal type attacks

Oh and I’m gonna replace infernape with incineroar when I can but idk

What should my mega be

Preferably a special attacker

[jagged swan]

Does anyone have any suggestions for solo shiny hunts (I don't do masuda egg hunts and I don't understand and dont have the patience for out breaks also no starters)

[brisk hedge]

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

[ornate shadow]

So my mega should be garchomp then?

[coarse estuary]

started my casual playthrough of platinum with Pingu the timid female piplup

[ornate shadow]

Finally finished unbound

What game next besides black 2 redux and unbound

[coarse estuary]

whatever u want

[ornate shadow]

Idk which one tho lol

[coarse estuary]

well we dont either

[rugged comet]

Not a romhack or in that list, but rejuvenation

[ornate shadow]

So no romhack?

[rugged comet]

I was suggesting a fangame instead of a romhack

[ornate shadow]

Ohh

[sweet crypt]

Isn't it crazy that Deo-A gets Superpower at level 37 and Deo-S gets Extreme Speed

But then Deo-N and Deo-D get fucking Gravity and Protect

The former being just a bad move and the latter being near-universal via TMs

These moves aren't removed when switching forms, so every Deoxys form has Superpower and Espeed even if only Attack and Speed can learn those respectively

But still

[unkempt egret]

WELL THEN

thought I was gonna be at fishing for Drampa for a while

first wishing stone I threw into the correct den gave a Drampa raid

[unkempt egret]

"hm I can probably outrun this clefable, bulldoze probably isn't required..."

clefable lives*

"clefable used metronome!"

"clefable used bulldoze!"

ok look here game

[ornate shadow]

What type should I do in radical red

[narrow pine]

Play a better romhack

[ornate shadow]

Just what type

I’ve never played radical red and I want to try it with only one type

[unkempt egret]

whelp, frick

my wigglytuff's now dead because turns out I can't do level 3 raids yet when every single attack was a OHKO

[mossy linden]

Yo pourquoi ca me fait ca ?

[ornate shadow]

Dang. Btw what type should I use in radical red

[unkempt egret]

uh hm

use fairy I suppose? since I'm not gonna suggest pain by using the normal type ROFL

[ornate shadow]

Fairy MIGHT be difficult since I don’t think there’s any early

First one you can even get is meganium-

So maybe another type?

[unkempt egret]

ok there we go, took a bit but got another drampa

[unkempt egret]

hmmm what other types are good early on then?

[ornate shadow]

I’ll prob do ghost maybe

[unkempt egret]

I can see that

yea the difference between level 2 and level 3 raids are noticable good lorde

also I'm using a greedent how am I not the slowest trainer in the room???

(answer: Wishiwashi)

oh I still lose out on Berserk I guess (cloud nine on both raids)

[coarse estuary]

after i beat my casual platinum run i think ima do a gym leader challenge where the premise is i pick a gym leader not from the gen im playing (cant pick a gym leader from a gen after the one im playing so cant pick wake if im playing crystal) and try to beat the game as if im them meaning i hack in 6 pokemon they have used at their basic form then play through the game with only those 6 pokemon. i can give whatever moves items and abilities i see fit but i randomize ivs and nature

[unkempt egret]

sounds interesting

[simple quartz]

I too saw the videos where people try beating the game with the Ace Trainer/Elite 4 teams

[coarse estuary]

it is for sure but im not going to do it like ive seen to where you unlocke a mon after sertain progression point im just going to pick 6 mons that x gym leader has used then gen them in with the ability of choice then randomize ivs and nature then play the game only using those 6 pokemon. also to be clear im chosing one of the abilities the pokemon can naturally have so no like pick burgh then give my self a wonder guard durant or something

[smoky gyro]

Yknow I never thought about this cause all the Unaware mons are slow af

But Unaware ignores speed buffs too right?

[narrow pine]

Iirc Clef is the fastest Unaware mon

Unless I’m forgetting one

[coarse estuary]

No. It's bibarrel

Clef is 3rd though

[narrow pine]

oh

I thought Clef was faster

[coarse estuary]

Nope. Clef is 60 base speed bib is 71

[narrow pine]

I saw

[pine ingot]

Does anyone know of a pokemon fan game that can be played in coop multiplayer together?

[queen cipher]

i need people for g-max butterfree in pokemon go anyone cam help? i have 2 players
756948761913
151140204732

[ornate shadow]

Should I use ceruledge or Skeledirge as my fire type for my ghost run

[coarse estuary]

None

[narrow pine]

Your best bet is PokeMMO. which has its....issues

[hallow osprey]

pulled the funny Lugia card in TCGP

[prisma shell]

Guys, I'm from the Pokémon Netbattle Supremacy era, has anyone played it? I know we have Showdown, but I wanted something like the NBS RPGs, does anyone support this project? I already have Kanto almost complete, does anyone support it?

[sweet crypt]

Man it's crazy that every evil team leader has an ace that is at the very worst RU in Smogon tiering (with the exception of Giovanni's Rhyperior who is a strong option in both RU and NU, the latter being its actual tier)

With the sole exception of Maxie and Archie

With Camerupt and Sharpedo

And their Basculin level BSTs

[devout crag]

cobbleverse is peak gameplay bro

im getting to much loot💔

first 20 mins this is so peak

[devout crag]

how is this possible

[sweet crypt]

Have you not actually played Pokemon Water types levitate over the ground all the time

Don't question it

[devout crag]

yeah but

riding a shark on the ground is weird

how do i get off this thing now

[sweet crypt]

Idk, what mod are you using to enable mounts

There's like 10

[devout crag]

no idea i downloaded a pack called cobbleverse

[sweet crypt]

I'm too lazy to search up what mods are in that pack you're on your own

[devout crag]

i suppose ill be stuck on this shark

nvm found out

[devout crag]

can electivire kill the machop im not sure

[gentle minnow]

anyone know what the game where you can be a gym leader is called

[brisk hedge]

This Gym Of Mine

[gentle minnow]

is it a rom hack or fully seprate game

[brisk hedge]

It’s a fan game

[devout crag]

separate game

so close yet so far

[gentle minnow]

ok so i dont need an emulator or a rom to play it

[devout crag]

yeah im pretty sure its like that

why, just why

why out of all the shinies i get watchog

why wasnt it idk a oddish

i almost missed it im playing with no sound

i found TWO starters in the wild and killed them both

[brisk hedge]

rimbombee?

reminds me of smth

[raven plover]

still have so many pkrs copy in my plat save file

ah fk they doesnt obey cuz im not done with 1st gym lol

[devout crag]

lol

[devout crag]

who will my boy eevee evolve into

he became an espeon

[devout crag]

are they enough for a bidoof

[ornate shadow]

Whose played radical red

[viral matrix]

At least two

[unkempt egret]

the heck was that allister fight

actually to be more exact the heck was allister's gengar's speed stat

I was expecting to just tank the G-payback (or G-sludge bomb) and get it the next turn thanks to the speed drop not outspeed and OHKO through the gigantamax

[unkempt egret]

alright pivoted over to scarlet, noodle down

first lobby I get into was of course three iron hands

I think they knew what was up though since none of them belly drum'ed until the shield went up (I went with taunt but apparently that doesn't last long enough to stop one of the hazes)

[tropic hinge]

I've had a good bit of luck brute forcing with annihilape using drain punch until tera ghost raging fist the rest of the fight. Ice weasel is not handling it well so far.

[unkempt egret]

lol I can see that

ok so I forget

is the opening ruination random or does it target the room host or somethin

tempted to say it's random

[real nest]

it's random, when I was trying to solo Wo-chien it targeted an NPC once

[tropic hinge]

Definitely seems random as someone who mostly does the raid solo, it targets npc's just as often as me.

[unkempt egret]

currently running focus energy or screens as things that Haze doesn't affect

starting to see people running Sunny Day which is making me think twice about Iron Bundle

which works fine but requires snow to be up for Aurora Veil to work

ROFL nice job one of the iron hands getting everyone in the room with an electric terrain

[vivid hearth]

i was wondering something is aura sphere a reference to something because i have always questioned why aura sphere is fighting type

[unkempt egret]

my guess is a Hadouken but that might not be fully correct

[tropic hinge]

Well, lucario is fighting steel, and when aura sphere was introduced it was its signature move, someone please correct me if that's wrong.
As far as being a reference, it likely ties into the spiritual side of some martial arts, able to turn ones own energy into a physical attack.

[uncut oracle]

Pocket has started doing this thing where occasionally a pack will have a secret sixth card in it. dunno the exact odds of that, but this is the third time it's happened and it's only been happening since the new expansion came out. side note, i made my first custom deck using that shiny mismagius and the first match i had my opponent ragequit

[unkempt egret]

from what I've heard the 6th card is always a baby pokemon card

(so in this case it's the smoochum)

also nice job on the mismagius, really hoping I can pull the shiny leafeon at some point

[strange bough]

hmm I wanna play cobblemon again, but I get so burn out and bored of it fast

[devout crag]

do u have any other mods other then classic cobblemon

[strange bough]

I've played bigchadguysplus as well as cobbleverse

[devout crag]

nvm then

theres servers

[strange bough]

Yeah I'm looking for something like that rn

[devout crag]

pretty sure cobbleverse got a server preadded

or u can look on google

[devout crag]

cobbleverse got a server preadded u can try that

@strange bough did u just join the server

[strange bough]

LMAO

How did you know that

[devout crag]

im in the server too lol

i msged u

[delicate hollow]

I find it rather strange that most Pokemon can either learn a new move via level up, TMs and HMs or as an egg move/tutor move that makes no sense to them at all for example can rhydon use surf or aron and lairon use iron tail only having a stubby lil "nub" at the end which hasn't developed to a tail?

[unkempt egret]

a lot of "makes sense for the evo not so much for the bby form"

or "they're kaiju/costume creatures so they get all of the elemental moves most of em can't use"

hence why clefable has a movepool that rivals mew's at times

[simple quartz]

Pokemon physiology/behavioral learning is silly but its okay because they're supposed to be

[unkempt egret]

pokemon in general is the kind of thing that falls apart the more and more you think about it lol

especially the games since like nintendo in general they almost always put gameplay first and figure things out from there

[hollow stone]

heyy, anyone can trade me a mew in pkmn let's go; pikachu ?

[devout crag]

hes so idk he feels not worth the hours

nothing like yall i make the portal with corners

i died

[devout crag]

may i ask if u like swirlix

[frank lily]

They’re from an event

[devout crag]

nvm then

their so tuff🥹

who should be the last member

[pine ingot]

the one in middle looks cool

[devout crag]

wish i caught them earlier

i had to farm 1k coins for gholdengo

[sweet crypt]

What's the team?

[pine ingot]

is that an server?

[devout crag]

its my singleplayer world

[pine ingot]

ohh

[devout crag]

open to changes but NOT my king venosaur

[devout crag]

there are servers for it tho

[sweet crypt]

Venusaur definitely should have 1 of the Rocky Helmets

[devout crag]

yeah i have to fix the items

[sweet crypt]

Both Electivire and Espeon don't have hood physical bulk while Venusaur does

Idk what other items you have though

[devout crag]

i got a lot of them ill do that myself

i just wanna know wich use between gholdengo cereludge and armoludge(i think its spelled like that) and or if theres any change

[sweet crypt]

Anyways, good news for your team

Sharpedo basically has 0 weaknesses, because every move that isn't resisted will fucking annihilate it either ways so it doesn't matter

So yippee(?)

[devout crag]

yeah found bro when i still had bulbasaur

[sweet crypt]

If you can get an ability patch somehow that'd be nice

I know there's a sidemod that makes them craftable

But if you don't have that then they're unob

And the one I was using in the server needed a fucking Nether Star to craft it

So I hope you're ready to kill the Wither

[devout crag]

wither is easy to kill✌️

[devout crag]

anyways any change i should do to my team

[sweet crypt]

Based on type coverage alone, Gholdy is probably the best of the 3 to add to your team

But they're all pretty close

[devout crag]

along with the last member

[sweet crypt]

However, taking movesets into account, Gholdengo is easily the best

[devout crag]

overall🤔

[sweet crypt]

A lot of Gholdengo's relevant moves are level up

For example, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball and Recover

[devout crag]

their all lvl 40 he learned 3 moves

tms are NOT easy to get in cobbleverse

[sweet crypt]

And it still gets a boost from TMs like Focus Blast, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt and Nasty Plot

[devout crag]

yeah i tought him thunderbolt

[sweet crypt]

There's a mod that allows you to craft empty TMs

[devout crag]

his looks are NOT worth the effort btw

[sweet crypt]

Which you can use to copy other moves

[devout crag]

yeah i got that

[sweet crypt]

Anyways, with that said

[devout crag]

my ass is just to lazy to grind like 30 tms

[sweet crypt]

1 Pokemon naturally learns Focus Blast

Being Yveltal

Which is a non option

[devout crag]

tbh i wanna change my espeon with smth

he doesnt feel good like when i first used him

[sweet crypt]

Twave, Tbolt and NP are definitely possible to go for though

Ceruledge can be great

But the issue is that it is a Ghost type that is physical

[devout crag]

stuff i got

[sweet crypt]

And since you're Single Player, Poltergeist won't cut it

So your best option is a 70 BP move

Yikes

[devout crag]

should i just get sylveon to replace espeon

[sweet crypt]

Armarouge idk lol

Probably worse than the other 2

[devout crag]

hes there for the dex mostly

[devout crag]

hes surplysingly a sp attacker

[sweet crypt]

Based purely off this criteria though Ceruledge easily

[devout crag]

mh

[sweet crypt]

Its signature move is a Fire type special Close Combat

[devout crag]

ill just gamble it

[sweet crypt]

I cant say I'm surprised

[devout crag]

now i need a replacement for espeon

what if i get an axew to replace him

[viral matrix]

Mr. Mime

[devout crag]

doesnt rlly have to have his typing

von has been revived from my Sw save file.

was checking his ivs ofc he had them on sp.atk

[viral matrix]

24 speed is good

[devout crag]

27 sp atk is not

not to mention he got a lowering attack nature

[narrow pine]

fucking ouch

Gotta love Natures and IVs, turning everyone Pokemon into a lootbox

[sweet crypt]

This is why we fucking love nature mints and bottle caps

There's a few sidemods that allow you to find wild mint plants

And you can use their seeds to start a farm

There's other sidemods that make bottle caps craftable

The one I ended up with in the modpack on the server I was in allowed their usage below Level 100, too

[devout crag]

snom pause :).

mr mime from being looks like a 50 year old dad

[devout crag]

couldve expect ANYTHING but being able to ride gholdengo.

[sweet crypt]

Trying to add a Pokemon for each zodiac constellation, how the fuck do I represent Virgo AKA "Virgin"

Like seriously

Help???

[native trench]

mewtwo or mew?

[sweet crypt]

I'm straight up making entirely new Pokemon for these

Theoretically I could make anything that is incapable of breeding "Virgo" otherwise

I'd have a ton of Legendaries, Mythicals and UBs to pick from

And that'd be too easy

[unkempt egret]

I recall IF's zodiac fusion set uses gardevoir but I also dismissed that as too easy (as is hatterene)

oddly enough my next thought was carbink because of how long they stay underground combined with them being genderless but I dunno how that'd fit overall

[sweet crypt]

ahem ahem

I meant straight up concepts for a Pokemon

[unkempt egret]

ah I see

I know the games do have a prescident for unbreedable non-legendaries/mythicals/babies with nidoqueen so I can see having that as a concept but for the actual design not sure

[sweet crypt]

Everything else is something I can work with somewhat

The hardest to do apart from Virgo would probably be Gemini (Twins) and Libra (Balancing Scale)

But even then I can think of stuff for those

Like what am I supposed to do with the power of being a virgin

That's just like 50% of the people on the internet

Maybe I'll just not make a Virgo and the theoretical NPCs would acknowledge it and maybe joke about it

Because I genuinely can't think of anything

[hushed lintel]

..i sorta just stumbled into this but..what about the porygon line?

[unkempt egret]

I believe Latios was looking for like making a new mon based off the concept of virgo

[hushed lintel]

ah i misunderstood that sentence. I'll rephrase then since I still think it might be useful. Why not a computer based pokemon? one that can't breed even with ditto and needs to be brought to a specialist scientist at X place(like the fossils at mueseums. usually) and they take it's individual code, combine with another Y pokemon, tweak it and theres a 3rd specimen? thus it's a virgin still.... i mean. unless they do the funky dance for fun...and ties into the internet too.

[tight granite]

should have been you riding his skateboard, while hes like on your back

[cold sapphire]

I’m doing a Gen 5 randomized challenge beside starters (I want to start with my favourite Leavanny, which I’ll start with Seawaddle to be fair) but the randomizer setting means I’ll have to pick for the other 2 trainers (Cheren and Bianca) so I want to pick good starters (have the setting enabled that they’ll keep them throughout the game and evolve them) (also the typing is randomized so it doesn’t matter typing more looking for vibes to contrast Leavanny from any Gen 1-5)

[devout crag]

Fair enough it is a fan made of a fan made mod so that alr much hope its gonna get better with the tike

[devout crag]

also its minecraft u cant expect much out of the riding animations

[devout crag]

shiny alolan diglett🤑

[buoyant summit]

Guys I can't seem to be able to find the files for this game give me a link

[unkempt egret]

gotta love the AI sometimes

got both leafeons by turn 2 and I'm like

[brisk hedge]

?tag rule18

[ebon pond]

Rule 18 CODE OF CONDUCT: Read channel descriptions and stay on topic. We have channels dedicated for more or less everything so please use them!

[tight granite]

the A.I when its playing for you is the worst tho lul

easy setup to win but it puts energy on the wrong cards the entire time

[unkempt egret]

I mean if the AI is playing for me then I'm not even looking at the screen and doing other things rofl

which is fair when you're grinding out the packs/missions

[gentle minnow]

uhh this gym of mine might be a little tipsy today lol

[tropic hinge]

Could use it in a more general sense. Could play off of the concept of being pure, or untouched. Virgin land is a concept that comes to mind. To make it line up with the origin of the theme could make the line all female.

[devout crag]

lance be like

[sweet crypt]

Remember, Archaludon is less dense than water

Pokemon weights are completely logical

I get that it's made of a lightweight metal but this is a bit ridiculous

[sleek jewel]

I found this in tik tok

[buoyant summit]

Guys

Can you please give me a link to get joiplay from

[solemn stream]

Is this rare? I got it this morning and am wondering if it is rarer that God packs?

[unkempt egret]

I think it's more common but still nice pull

since 6-packs are how the baby pokemon (togepi aside) are distributed

[strange bough]

wood hammer at lvl 10 is a bit crazy

[brisk hedge]

Nobody tell this woman about the level 10 Salamance in the Alola games

[unkempt egret]

or that alola's move relearner is right before the E4 (rip A-Marowak and comfey)

[strange bough]

my goats

[gentle minnow]

I know about that

[brisk hedge]

What are you talking about? Noibat is a bat, Quaxwell is a duck and Mimikyu… well, I guess we don’t know what’s under its cloth, but Noibat and Quaxwell certainly aren’t goats

[strange bough]

you should be a comedian

[hard plume]

here are a list of metals that are considered the lightest

https://sciencenotes.org/what-is-the-lightest-metal/

[unkempt egret]

hmmm

doing the funny teambuilding thing in mariomon and I'm mostly done but just need something that can sweep ||peach's E4 team|| and going through the team options

so Gushen is funny but very much a no, barely gets past the yoshi let alone the spindrift

everyone else can do it with varying degrees of set-up but I'm not sure which one I want to take

Spike top's been with the team the longest but has the worst set-up and still doesn't hit super hard at +6

...and also doubles type with Ant Trooper

[jagged inlet]

i caught a Weedle in a Beast Ball first try (Cobblemon)

[brisk hedge]

Now try to catch a legendary in a beast ball

[jagged inlet]

will do, i have a few items to spawn some Legendaries that i havent used yet

[unkempt egret]

I think I have done that before let me see if I have the screencap

very much "task failed successfully" since I was trying for a quick ball catch ROFL

also my apologies for my in-game audio settings

[brisk hedge]

I did the same thing with a different Pokémon

I think it was a Conckeldur

[unkempt egret]

lol nice

but yea that was basically quick ball -> beast ball -> reset to try again

[sweet crypt]

Based on their names, the Duraludon line would be made of an aluminium alloy, and not Sodium, Potassium or Lithium

Archaludon's density in particular is lower than Potassium's but higher than Lithium's

So either it's hollow or this is false advertising

[tropic hinge]

Well, being made of either of those metals would be bad if it went anywhere near water.

[sweet crypt]

I mean it sure as hell is a disaster when you're trying to face it in the rain

Ngl the Pokemon universe is lucky that the terrorists have a moral code and don't murder people

Because murdering people with Pokemon would be so easy

If Darmanitan can 2HKO Alomomola under Sun I don't want to see what it can do to a human

[warm rose]

:D
Wo chien is claimable!
