Rayquaza isn't even top 5 in Classic imo
I mean there's like the obviously better than Rayquaza Pokemon like Eternatus and Miraidon
Then there's ones that you could make arguments for like Kyogre, Zacian, Koraidon etc
I'd argue even Lugia is better than Rayquaza in Classic because Lugia simply has a great toolkit for it
lyric radish
Rayquaza isn't even top 5 in Classic imo
Its to get my point out i know hes far from sttongest but stat and typing are pretty good with a defensive tera or mega and i dont expect him to have all egg moves eithrr seeing hes team...
sweet crypt
Also base Rayquaza is imo kinda like average for an 8 cost, if not under average
The 9 cost on it is obviously keeping Mega Ray in mind
But I'd honestly say that Rayquaza is one of the weaker 9 costs too, from experience

Yeah and it rellies on mega or defensive tera typr

That will be repetative and how do you plan on doing other legendaries' medals
By doing a run focused on them
lyric radish
I do rando run so i get 6 medals/game and new fun carries
sweet crypt
I'm obviously doing runs on what I think will be fun to do runs with first
That said I'm not particularly close to all unlocks on quite a few Pokemon
Like I don't have Passive or QD on Iron Moth yet for example
lyric radish
Do a theivul carry run with 5 pickup mons 🙂 steal ALL the items
sweet crypt
And I want both for my Iron Moth run
Also Fini only costs 3
So I can carry weaker legendaries around if I don't feel like using them
lyric radish
I had a carry run where i had 3 pickup mons yeah i had inf berries
sweet crypt
(I have both cost downs on Fini, see)
lyric radish
Also Fini only costs 3
I thougt lowest for legend was 4
sweet crypt
I thougt lowest for legend was 4
For some inexplicable reason, Fini, the only sub legendary that can solo the game with 0 support, only costs 5
You could literally bring Tapu Fini and nothing else and beat the game without abusing evasion
lyric radish
Buff him to 7 xd
sweet crypt
So I'm not so sure why it's so cheap
lyric radish
Buff him to 7 xd
Or nerf him
sweet crypt
I'd say buffing Fini to 6 and removing either Recover or Quiver Dance would put it in line with the better epic egg mons
Realistically you should remove QD here
As Tapu Fini's original role is being a superb defensive Pokemon
lyric radish
So replacr QD with quick attack and recover with mist terrain and buff cost to 9
Just kill it completly
Thats what they do to everyone else xd

Thats what they do to everyone else xd

So go for it
Calyrex can learn Calm Mind via TM I think
And everything with both Calm Mind and Recover instantly beats Eternatus
Heck, if you get Nasty Plot instead on Calyrex Shadow it probably still beats Eternatus
It's mf Calyrex Shadow
Just that holy fucking SHIT it is not worth doing a run with base Calyrex for it
Ig it does have to be careful of Sucker Punch though
You could probably start out with Tera Grass to avoid that issue though
Anyways give me recommendations on what to do runs with

And not "Beat the game with 1 Unown"

Anyways give me recommendations on what to do runs with
Castform only

Castform only
I literally already did that

I have Shift Gear so apart from that I shouldn't struggle with speed too terrible
Something I'm not a fan of is that the best biome cycle for Hard Stones has a shitload of Pokemon that utterly annihilate Rampardos
Tons of Sturdy Pokemon, bulky resists etc
I do currently have Mold Breaker at least
But I did kinda want to get Sheer Force
It's evident now however that Sheer Force is far worse
Since the best biome routing for Hard Stones throws a shitload of Sturdy Pokemon at you
Ok Rampardos loses a 1v1 with all of Blaine's Pokemon
I am contemplating my life choices
I kinda assumed that y'know resisting a Pokemon would be enough to set up a singular Shift Gear
But no uhh
It is not in fact enough
I may have underestimated just how frail Rampardos is
Like how are you getting chunked so hard by mid power coverage moves
Having 50 million weaknesses does not help either
Tera is gonna be really big for Rampardos
noble zealot

sweet crypt
If there's one thing that Rampardos does well, it's hitting hard
I OHKOd a Great Tusk
With Head Smash
A quad resisted move
It's a shame that Rampardos ended up still being underwhelming
It needs to get Shift Gear off to do anything apart from die
And chances are it will die while trying to do so
celest light
If there's one thing that Rampardos does well, it's hitting hard
I think hes like one of the highest physical attackers period so it makes sense
sweet crypt
Run over gg ez
Rampardos kinda made it harder than it needed to be
But that's the fun of using it
The fact that it sucks so I struggle more
celest light
I wish he had like ways to make him good though cause theres special attackers as strong as him that dont take as much effort
sweet crypt
The fact that Castform is better than Rampardos in Pokerogue is uhh
Kinda depressing
Time for the Eternal Flower Floette run
It may be able to solo Eternatus but I'm not too confident in saying that, so I'm bringing Tapu Fini again
So what Pokerogue does for it is they gave it Quiver Dance, Luster Purge, Mind Blown and Chloroblast with Magic Guard
I'll probably end up replacing Chloroblast with its signature move, Light of Ruin
Eternal Flower Floette also has some pretty good stats
Though, it is physically frail
I'd imagine that with the proper Tera Type, it could solo Eternatus
Something like Tera Ground or Poison
Poison is the most important type for a Quiver Dancer to resist, as Eternatus' sole physical move is Cross Poison
And it is one of Eternatus' STABs
Steel would be great for resisting both of Eternatus' STABs, but it has Flamethrower
Actually wait
Does Floette learn Chlorophyll by level up?
It does in Gen 9, but EF Floette only exists in Gen 6
So it may get Aromatherapy instead
So yeah I'm bringing Tapu Fini
If it did get Synthesis I wouldn't
past cairn

is there a website or something that anyone uses for gen 9 nuzlockes? i was trying a certain one (idk if we can say about other websites here to be honest) but the encounters it generated were not possible encounters in some areas
unkempt egret
a website as in... a tracker?
I personally just have an Excel document as a tracker myself but I can see that for keeping track of what encounters came from where
velvet crag
more a randomizer for the encounter list, since it doesn't have grass encounters. sorry, i should've been more specific
i haven't done any nuzlockes in gen 8 onwards so i don't know how it should be done. i know some people just close their eyes and find something, but that doesn't feel as random since certain spots within areas have higher spawn rates for specific pokemon
at least i think so
sweet crypt
more a randomizer for the encounter list, since it doesn't have grass encounters...
What happens if you roll like
Chi-Yu as your encounter
And you have to go find all the stakes to unlock it
And then go through the process of trying to catch a legendary
velvet crag
i mean, i'd probably try it but if you didn't want to do one of the ruins you could just reroll it, since in a past nuzlocke that wouldn't even be an option
i just ask because i wanted to get a random choice from among the pokemon in each area, and the sites i've found either don't have everything in that location, or they have extras that can't be found there
sweet crypt
i mean, i'd probably try it but if you didn't want to do one of the ruins you co...
I mean if you just
Repelled the entire time
Until you could unlock it
Like catching Zapdos in the Abandoned Power Plant type of shit
Then yeah
You could
So I'd say if you're going down that route there's really 0 reason to exclude the Treasures from the pool
That said it'd be incredibly silly
velvet crag
well that's why i said i would try it- when i say there's extra pokemon in the pools i mean like a pokemon that literally can't be found in that area
sweet crypt
well that's why i said i would try it- when i say there's extra pokemon in the p...
In that case yeah that's wack
Imagine you try to go for a nuzlocke and the game just tosses you the 4 Treasures of Ruin and then like a shitload of extremely uncommonly spawning Pokemon
Absolute agony
velvet crag
honestly i don't even mind that, i'm one of the weird people who likes grinding in games lol
i'm still trying to find a website that works, but if i can't find one i'm just going to grab the tables and put them into the wheel spinner so it's the right table
sweet crypt
I'm one of the people who will instantly resort to rare candies rather than grind my ass off in a challenge run
Yknow with level caps
Which isn't gonna save me if I only have a singular Popplio vs a Rowlet
velvet crag
no that's totally valid, i just like mindless tasks tbh
sweet crypt
But yknow
I'm genuinely curious if that battle is possible without going over the level cap
Which I think at that point is 11
velvet crag
the first rival battle in usum?
sweet crypt
the first rival battle in usum?
No, Teacher Emily
Are Oran Berries available at that point
Because if so I think it could be possible with crits
velvet crag
i think so? i've done that battle before, unless you mean specifically just with the starter on your team
sweet crypt
But otherwise I may have to bite the bullet and consider Trainer's School as a seperate area
Because if we're being super strict with rules, Trainer's School is in Route 1
And so is the starter
But I genuinely don't think that it's possible with just the starter
velvet crag
in all fairness, i hardly ever see people count the starter as the same route as the first encounter, so i don't think it's a cop-out or anything to make them separate
sweet crypt
OK wait you do get Oran Berries
Hold up
OK how much do you think you could EV Train without going over the level cap after both Teacher Emily and Ilima
Well ig Ilima doesn't count
Since I'm considering Ilima as the level cap when I say the level cap is 11
And I can level over that during the battle
But then the level cap is like 12 at Totem Raticate or something
So overleveling is genuinely an issue here
velvet crag
i think you're overthinking this to be honest, i don't think going one level over during that sequence of battles is really that bad
sweet crypt
Idk because I do want to use level caps
So if I accidentally go to Level 12 vs Teacher Emily the run is over
velvet crag
if you get the level during that battle that doesn't invalidate things
sweet crypt
if you get the level during that battle that doesn't invalidate things
The Level 11 Level Cap refers to Ilima's battle
Not Emily's

And I don't think losing runs to Teacher Emily over and over when Totem Araquanid is also looking like a major issue is a good use of my time
Idk USUM is just looking really terrifying
Like I just see people say often that they're the hardest games to nuzlocke
And sometimes more casual players are like "Nah no way lmfao later gens are easy"
Personally I kinda just assumed the nuzlockers were right because like
They're the ones nuzlocking
But I did not realise to what extent they were right

hey you guys!! if anyone is free and has a 3ds still, do you mind adding my friend code? im working on getting some more friend safari's for x and y but I don't have too many friends with 3ds 😭 if anyone could help me out I would appreciate it a lot! my code is : 1779-4969-4864
thanks to whoever adds me! just reply to this and ill add you back <3
smoky gyro
If you go into a double battle with an ai
So you bring 3 they bring 3
And your 3 die
Do you still wipe
Is that still considered a loss for the nuzlocke
lyric radish
i dont think it is a loss if you have more then 3 in the party since you dont get teleported to last pokecenter
but you did lose 3 mons in 1 battle so maybe just give up at that point...
lyric radish
Im just watching smant do run and bun
makes sense he loses 3 mons in 1 battle hes far from good...
lyric radish
Also thats kinda harsh
the truth is harsh tho
but he uses what 100 attemps/run (just a guess)
smoky gyro

Bro why are you judging if youre not even watching the series to begin with
Whats wrong with you
Hes on attempt 1 and still going thank you very much
lyric radish
Bro why are you judging if youre not even watching the series to begin with
no i do watch him but i dont care to calculate the avg of every nuzzlock he does i like watching him but that doesent make him any good
lyric radish
Whats wrong with you
more things then you could count
he doesent focus on getting better tho
content > skill
wich makes sense its money over skill wich i would take anyday too when you win any challenge in a game first try consistantly it becomes boring to both play and watch so for him its good that hes not the best player
smoky gyro
Alright, name one moment of content>skill.
Also bro's whining about damage calcs when that's the whole fucking point of run and bun lmao
celest light
Isnt run and bun supposed to be ridiculously hard and a trial and error style game (unless you read up on info) cause of how insane some of the battles are skewed against you

Am I the only Scorbunny fan disappointed when Cinderace was revealed?
After the first Sword and Shield trailer 6 years ago I was imagining a final stage evolution of Scorbunny to be an athletic energetic bunny who gains a new secondary type (in my case it was Electric) with the highest speed base stat matching Greninja.

yes without team viewer and dmg calcs good luck
celest light
Ok
So if your blind going it for the challenge why is there an issue with making s ton of mistakes
lyric radish
Alright, name one moment of content>skill.
if he wanted to get good he would focus on a competative side of pokemon to learn predictions and memorize stats so somthing like getting 1500 elo or more in pokemon showdown would be a good start to him to train but running difrent pokemon nuzlocks and a run and bun will let him get used to playing safe wich offen isent what you need and in run and bun theres limited options that will work out its the same as in chess if everymove is forced and you still win it isent skill
celest light
Two things
1 its more challenging and can feel more entertaining to trial and error things so for the individual it can be a lot more fun to do
And 2
It also makes for a more interesting viewer experience

It's supposed to be both at the same time
There's only like 70 people who have beaten a Run and Bun Nuzlocke and it is widely considered the hardest Pokemon game to nuzlocke of all time
smoky gyro
What happens if I have a toxic orb
And then I rest to cure it
And then get poisoned again by it
Does it keep the old scaling?
sweet crypt
Does it keep the old scaling?
I dont think so
The scaling only applies when you are actively poisoned
So something like removing Gliscor's Toxic Heal would nuke its HP
smoky gyro
Well the scaling also resets if you switch out and back in
So if I remove and reapply toxic poison does it also reset that scaling
smoky gyro
Kinda makes sense ig
sweet crypt
thats why im saying its best for him to target content instead of pure skill
Also, it'd be amazing content to beat the hardest nuzlocke in existence in 1 attempt
Most take tens or hundreds or even thousands

How's the moveset for my Paldea and Galar Champion Lycanroc?
sweet crypt
I'm pretty sure he's said that he doesn't plan on doing more than 1 attempt
smoky gyro
How's the moveset for my Paldea and Galar Champion Lycanroc?
Doesnt midnight learn cc
Low sweep is...meh
sweet crypt
How's the moveset for my Paldea and Galar Champion Lycanroc?
Low Sweep and Shadow Claw are kinda out of place
Close Combat or even Brick Break would be better Fighting coverage if you want some, preferably the former
Shadow Claw's kinda just a weak move in general
And Lycanroc would prefer other coverage moves like Stomping Tantrum or Fire Punch even if they are also weak
nocturne crest
I actually do enjoy low sweep
sweet crypt
It alternatively would also like Sucker Punch for priority
Since Lycanroc Midnight's Speed isn't great
You also may want to swap your ability to No Guard
nocturne crest
Just swap out shadow claw for close combat?
sweet crypt
That way, Stone Edge's chance of missing is 0
smoky gyro
Just swap out shadow claw for close combat?
I wouldnt run 2 moves of the same type
If you wanna commit to low sweep just commit to it
sweet crypt
I wouldnt run 2 moves of the same type
I second this
But just saying, CC almost does double the damage of Low Kick
nocturne crest
I like it cause it throws people off when battling friends lol
sweet crypt
Swords Dance is also a viable option, too
smoky gyro
The only time you run 2 moves of the same type is if one has lower accuracy (which is irrelevant for midnight) or varying base power
nocturne crest
Alright how do I switch abilities?
sweet crypt
Alright how do I switch abilities?
No Guard would be Midnight's Hidden Ability
So you'd want to use an Ability Patch
You can get them in SV as rare rewards from raids and item printers and in SWSH you can purchase them with Dynite Ore in the Dynamax Adventure hub
You can also purchase them with 200 BP in BDSP
nocturne crest
Alright, so ability patch, switch shadow claw with stomping tantrum, fire punch or sucker punch
sweet crypt
Alright, so ability patch, switch shadow claw with stomping tantrum, fire punch ...
One of the 3 should work, as should Swords Dance if you think you can get away with clicking it without getting murdered
If you don't run Swords Dance then the best item would be something like a Choice Band
smoky gyro
And then outspeed
sweet crypt
And Swords Dance usually would be run alongside Sucker Punch
Also there's even more options I forgot to mention lmfao
Psychic Fangs is one of them
And tbh it's probably one of the better options
Since it can hit Fighting for SE
Which is one of Lycanroc's weaknesses
Play Rough does the same
But has 90% accuracy
So it's automatically a fraud move
Though tbf
You do have No Guard
So realistically it doesn't matter
But I still need to mention every time it is brought up that Play Rough is a fraud move because it isn't perfectly accurate at 90 BP
smoky gyro
Yknow
Thought
I wonder why we havent seen scarf+ohko move+no guard support
In doubles
Cause no guard applies to everyone right?
sweet crypt
Because nobody has both No Guard and OHKO move
It only applies to the user and its target
sweet crypt
All of the user's moves never miss, and moves don't miss the user
smoky gyro
I knew the latter part
But I just assumed it meant moves dont check accuracy if no guard is on field at all
Accuracy and evasion, ig

Mixed, actually, because without expertise, perfectly legal can be hard to judge (see: earlier gen follow me magmar IV debacle)
That said there isn't even a point in modern day with how easy IVs and EVs are tk get
noble zealot
Hey chat what are your stances on cheating perfectly legal Pokemon in to play co...
I have no problem with it. You don't get anything out of it that someone breeding wouldn't.
Plus, making battle-ready Pokémon gets easier every generation.
sweet crypt
Tbh if they add an item that allows you to reduce IVs to 0 then I don't think there really is a need for hacking for Pokemon anymore
But if it's a completely legal set I'm not gonna be against it
There's only 1 stat that can't be a detriment at 31 IVs, being Special Attack
Of course, Special Attackers want 0 IVs to minimise Foul Play damage
noble zealot
ROWE had an item like that called the Iron Capsule, though it only worked for Speed.
sweet crypt
And Trick Room Pokemon want 0 IVs on Speed
As for HP, Defence and SpD, some Pokemon really want to die at certain ranges to get other Pokemon in safely
Or in the case of Slurpuff, it wants to get one shot by everything

And Trick Room Pokemon want 0 IVs on Speed
Not always but yea

It was definitely a thing when I played bh like

It must be a Gen 9 addition, since I never had the problem back in the day.

Simply predict smhmh

Predict wars when sucker punch is involved will always be comedic
sweet crypt
The best FEAR mon is probably like
Flamigo or something
Which is funny since it isn't even using quick Attack and definitely isn't a Rattata
It has Scrappy, partial hazard immunity and Feint over Quick Attack which has like, +2 or +3 priority
It's still getting instantly destroyed by Stealth Rocks though lol

The number of Grass-types who are part Poison probably contributes to me thinking that.
smoky gyro
Its neutral
smoky gyro
Oh wait nvm
sweet crypt
Grass takes neutral damage from Fighting while Steel takes SE damage
sweet crypt
The only way I see Ferrothorn ever falling out of OU is if all of the top 10 threats are Fire types
Or if a better Grass/Steel type is introduced
This Pokemon's streak of viability is completely untouched even in Ubers
sweet crypt
And Ferroseed is also consistently an amazing Pokemon in a lower tier and LC
The Ferrothorn line's kinda just cracked for Singles

As a kid, I came up with a Shuckle evo that is Bug/Steel, trades 30 of each of its defences for more HP, and learns moves like Body Press and Spore.
Good thing that never came to fruition.

Do yall think its a bad idea to have a status that drops def stats as well
Like burn
Well...old burn at least
mossy wharf
🤣 lmfaooooooooooooo
sweet crypt
Well...old burn at least
Burn has literally never lowered Defence
It has only ever lowered Attack, and has done so since Gen 1 all the way to Gen 9
What is interesting is that Burn originally dealt 1/16th damage
Most probably don't know this, and think it started at 1/8th
This is because nobody fucking uses Burn in Gen 1
unkempt egret

You don't want to thaw a frozen Pokemon, or pass up the chance to cripple something with Paralysis

which means a lot when gen 1 freeze was an effective OHKO at worst and a free setup opportunity at best
also paralysis too yea

Time for the Heracross run
So, the devs think they are funny
And as a result Heracross has 1 good egg move
And all the others only do something if you get the Mega
So basically I will be praying to RNGesus during this run
sweet crypt
We are so back chat
This run can die now I do not care anymore
There's a non zero chance Rayquaza swaps in on me instantly and if it does I think I just nuke it with Scale Shot if I'm Mega
Which would be funny
sweet crypt
Holy fucking shit I just solod Mira with base Heracross
I might be the fucking GOAT
(She rolled Gmax Hatt and Latios on this run)
pearl matrix
Nvm on the spectrier, i figured out a way to get it
sweet crypt
So basically what I did is prayed that the trainer AI was stupid enough to swap Flutter Mane into a Rock Blast
See, the AI in Pokerogue is kinda jank
And it would only see Mega Alakazam at a slight advantage over Heracross since while Psychic is strong vs Fighting, Bug is strong vs Psychic
Obviously, if it attacks here, I instantly die
So I 2HKO Flutter Mane with Rock Blast as it reveals that for some reason it only has Hyper Voice???
Gmax Hatterene comes out and I live on like 16 HP and 2HKO with Rock Blast
Due to getting sent to 16 HP, I get +1 Speed from a Salac Berry, allowing me to blow up Magnezone and Latios
I kill Latios with Scale Shot to ensure I outspeed the 150 base speed Alakazam with Heracross
Moxie was definitely a major part to winning
I don't think I'd have KOd Gmax Hatt without the Moxie boost
sweet crypt
Ok
Anyways this is probably the best RNG I have ever gotten
Level 312 is INSANE
I'm probably high leveled enough to not take more damage from Dmax Cannon due to sheer stats
Not that I found out, I one shot both phases of Eternatus in a singular Scale Shot

To half physical moves base power
Same difference
Who cares about the tiny differences between those 2
sweet crypt
I mean the change was before Body Press even existed
smoky gyro
What do yall think about a status that halves defenses

So basically at that point in time it basically made 0 differences
Also would the status instead double the damage you take from physical moves?
Hmm...
smoky gyro
I mean idk how the damage calc works so idk if it would make a difference
sweet crypt
I mean idk how the damage calc works so idk if it would make a difference
It wouldn't except for the extremely niche situation of stuff like Body Press you mentioned earlier
And in this case, Psyshock, Psystrike and Secret Sword, too
Oh wait
Halves defences
Plural
OK yeah no that's broken as fuck lmfao
Halving only 1 defence already seems extremely strong
sweet crypt
Ah ok
smoky gyro
Both defenses are DEFINITELY too broken
sweet crypt
But yeah the thing is halving physical only matters if you are a physical attacker
Halving Defence sucks for everything that has bulk over Ninjask's
And heck even Ninjask with its type

OK but seriously tell me that this is obviously Revavroom's silhouette

OK but seriously tell me that this is obviously Revavroom's silhouette
Now that I think about it the way the silhouette is shaped you definitely can't feel out that it's Revavroom
You'd likely think of Remoraid first I dare say
sweet crypt
Apart from that it's mostly guesses ranging from 1-5 seconds depending on how many typos I make and how long the name of the Pokemon is
simple quartz
Or Carvanha
I legit think you'd guess out a bunch of fish mons before vroom over here
sweet crypt
I'm proud of myself guessing Voltorb and Electrode first try without mixing them up
Same with Tornadus and Thundurus, Silcoon and Cascoon etc
A lot of those extremely similar silhouette Pokemon I somehow guessed first try
