Actually 3rd can be a few things
Klinklang, Bastiodon, Gunfisk at the top of my head
Proud of this team
looks good so far
Bro wtf
I've been sleeping on Corsola
It's better than literally every Water type I mentioned while talking about potential worst Water types
Except for Qwilfish and Basculin
Which I was only mentioning to point out how they're far better than most realise
And evidently Corsola is too
I mean yeah it's ZU
But it actually finds niches in ZU
I expected it to be absolutely worthless
the insurgence e4 is pissing me off
- theyre weather teams, cool idea but their movesets are annoying
- sand e4 opening- Hippowdon with the moveset stealth rock, slack off, whirlwind, and earthquake
- cant even overlevel, their team always matches your highest level
why???
Idk if you've noticed but Insurgence typically tries to use competitively viable movesets and I think EVs?
not to mention perfect IVs and shit yeah
doesnt make it any less annoying
Actually, is Wugtrio worse than Lumineon?
Like if you were to keep making tiers below ZU
Who would see usage first
Lumineon or Wugtrio
probably wugtrio
yea an attacking stat of 80 compared to Lol and a speed stat of 120 compared to 90
It's actually 100 Attack on Wug
but yea its abilities and utility are better than Wug who only has its stats on its side
They're also both frail
And both will fall quickly to neutral hits
But Wug will fall quicker
I would say "isn't floatzel" but then floatzel has swift swim and a 115 speed stat
so floaty's kinda like if both of them pulled a fusion thing
The main difference is Floatzel has somewhat existent bulk
And better moves
Mainly for murdering things
Yknow, like Wave Crash
And since most of Floatzel's bulk in in HP, it can afford to take recoil
they also input read btw
Lumineon - 69/76/86
Wugtrio - 35/50/70
Floatzel - 85/55/50
it's in the middle but yea the moves and ability are key
Floatzel has like Lumineon level bulk and Wugtrio level offences
also dang does lumineon really have 3 69's in its stats
And an offensive moveset that sorta resembles a combo of the 2
why would you need to use will-o-wisp 4 times in a row
also since we did duraludon a week or two ago uh things more physically bulky than wugtrio
Paras, Vanillite (barely but still), Dewpider, Togepi (yes baby), voltorbs, kakuna, mudkip, vibrava, partner pikachu (which says more about PP but), deoxys-N, eevee, the afermentioned ledian, ok I'll stop at A-raichu
Fidough
I think that says a lot about where I stopped since dang I assumed A-raichu was bulkier than 60/50/85
Yamask seems funny
Generic_Electric_Stats.txt
Applin
Baltoy's actually bulkier both physically and specially
Rather insultingly, so is Morelull
also casual reminder that 2/3 of the dugtrio forms have abilities that only activate when taking contact damage
...and in both cases replace ARENA TRAP
which is a mechanic-breaking ability, and the one that singles revolves around to boot!
Yknow, Wugtrio is extremely similar in stats to Sneasel
20 less HP, 5 more Attack, 5 less Defence, 15 more SpA, 5 less SpD, 5 more Speed
It's like a more offensively minmaxed Sneasel
And yes, it is frailer
Than SNEASEL
Famously frail, fast offensive NFE Ice type Sneasel
fuck you, depressed mr. bean lookin ass
giovanni but
What even is that?
pokemon insurgence
Anytime I've tried that game I do not get far as I don't find it very good
ok
Insurgence was decently fun, but the game tries WAY too hard to be edgy
agreed, but the music goes hard af
does anyone else here play pokemon tgom
For some reason I read that as Pokemon Insurence
Which isn't even how Insurance is spelt
If y'all could only own 5 of the Pokemon games which 5 would U pick (mainline only)
Fuecoco
Sprigatito
Eevee
Growlithe
Rayquaza- just kidding it’s Rowlet
Ah fuck
I didn’t read games
No the games not Pokemon 
Ok lemme do it
So
Gotta take omega ruby and X
Those games were fun
Then ultra sun which was fun and kinda hard
Then.
Fuh
I’ve only played the gen 6 games and above
Even tho my dad has the other gens that I can play at anytime
Personally I'd take OR over both as OR has all the megas and alot of gen 6 Pokemon so no need for X
Ok
But like
I TRIED key word tried
To play soul silver
But
Bro
The leveling
Is
So
SLOW
LIKE
It hurts my soul to do so much grinding for one level
Ok so uhh
Call me a dumbass but
I did the rival fight before the bug gym
In which I spammed sleep with leers
With my lvl 16 tododile
So yes
I forgot to do the bug gym before the rival
What were the level of the Pokemon around u
Oh dude that's why it's not the games fault Ur in a area Ur overlevel for
Most games would be like that
My rival
Had a lvl 18 starter
That’s the problem with soul silver
The wild pkm don’t scale
That’s why leveling is so hard
You primarily need to do it against trainers
So I’m not even over leveled
IM UNDER LEVELED
No Ur over level for the area not progress
Twin
The gym and rival fight were way higher then the wild pokemon
In soul silver
The wild pokemon
Do
Not
Scale
Alr gtg
so in This Gym of Mine the Fighting type options are Riolu, Tyrogue, and Makuhita
Riolu
yeah I am thinking ahead since there are some trainers with the dragon/steel Aron line
Lucario is lucario, bunch of management to get the chan you want out of tyrogue
and that is weak to ground and fighting
and idk what hariyama does
omg i almost lost my gym dragon rage aron is a menace
40 dmg
i have bagon, gible, or deino
ik but i got syther he outspeeds
shelgon at 30, salamence at 50, gabite at 24, garchomp at 48, zweilous at 50, hydreigon at 64
im doing bagon
50 48 or 64
know what I rarely do things with fighting type so I may as well go Fighting
whats your move?
what is this pocket dimension oak puts you in to choose your starter?
is it just a really dark room with glowing pedestals and an ethereal voice?
isk yet about to find out
okay first off my starter has a Speed raising nature. that's fine
uhh i got a +spe -spdf which results in level 5 bagon having a spdf of 8
if anything has a special move im cooked
yeah I got a special def lowering nature too. but speed increase is good
true i just outsped a starly twice
ive played for fifteen (ingame) days
and they are hard
i chose the grl
which means i get harder trainers
wait choosing the girl pc gives you harder trainers?
omg I fought 3 trainers on the way to town and ended in 2 health left
at least I got some good exp ig
I picked Riolu
and he learned metal claw on the way
now to find out what the type move is
sent back to the ship i got a potion now
what lvl does axew evolve
38 and 48
HELL YEAH
???
my signature move is dragon claw
also what gen is this game following so I know what Pokemon to look for that can learn Brick Break
imagine ice
i might be a lil shidded
honestly idk
huh
is drudiknaw before or with axew
what?
druddigon?
yes
also gen 5
sorry about my spelling i just saw him a split second and then a ran away
dragon claw is amazing
oh
there is a guy in the Pokemart that sells evolution items btw
including metal coat
yes
theres a guy in the tall building to the right of the town hall that sells stat items
its all 10k though
oh I might have to buy this locked this lady sells since Riolu evolves with friendship
heyo, Gengar can learn brick break if this game is going by gen 7 move rules
nice
theres a whole wiki
yeah but I don't feel like it
found a cave near the starting area and it had a Golett in it
may try and catch one
ok so the pokemon go to gen 8
oo nice
this wiki does not give me all the choices i have
its only telling me the final evos that can learn dragon claw
oh balls im done for
what happened?
i just threw level 7 bagon into a level 24 dragonair
if you keep going into the cave the other side has a eviolite
yeah i got caught by a trainer trying to get into dragon's den
dang
I ran into the regional Aron in the cave
caught it, but it can't learn Brick Break sadly
i've encountered a druddigon
level it up and see if the evo can learn
bagon got bit and fainted
because it has hands
true
but then again this is pokemon
checked the wiki and it didn't show what moves it can learn via tm
wooper can learn ice punch
I just bought 10 Pokeballs after using the 2 I had gotten from someone
I also got the free fishing rods from the guy in the area to the right of the city
any bug water types
none of these children will give me enough money for pokeballs
got the gym guy
the problem is i need pokemon and dragon types dont like staying in balls
true but its easier to get dragon types than know which pokemon learn dragon claw
bagon keeps getting obliterated
beat up all the little Timmys and Timmyettas's
pft I have caught two Pokemon that can learn Brick Break but only once they are fully evolved
Wooper and Tympole
wait you can use your fighting type without it learning brick break
or am i confused
idk, I caught a Golett that learned Brick break, but I think I need to still catch a third mon that can learn it now
ok you can use any fighting type for your gym, regardless if it knows Brick Break and 2 that know brick break
yeah fighting types and anything that isn't fighting has to be able to use brick break
yeah
apparently Sandshrew can learn brick Break
there's my third Pokemon to be able to start doing battles at the gym with
bagon still struggling
rip bagon
i might as well teach it frustration
good strat
ofc
oooo a shroomish
imagine seeing the gym leader that you couldn't beat get killed by a Yanmega
over and over
did that
oh did you fix the fonts?
yeah my fonts have been fixed
cool
im talking about dying to a yanmega
no just asking
okay trying to catch a shroomish is pain
leech seed is a pain dfor when you want to lower the health of something you want to catch
game you underestimate how many times I am willing to f12 just so I don't waste balls trying to catch a stupid Shroomish
this game is testing how many times i'll lose to a stunfisk before i crash out
early game shroomish is pain
stun spore, absorb, leech seed
half my team is weak to grass btw
bagon's awful spdf means mud-shot takes out half his health
um i cant trade to evo my syther
yup
How to evolve Scyther
To evolve Scyther into Scizor in Pokémon This Gym of Mine, follow these steps:
Hold Metal Coat: Ensure Scyther is holding the Metal Coat item.
Level Up: Level up Scyther while it is holding the Metal Coat.
Max Happiness: Achieve maximum happiness in the battle.
No Trading Needed, cool
mhm
okay finally
I spammed Sandshrew's sand attack on the shroomish so it couldn't land any leech seeds on riolu
i can finally afford a singular pokeball
Tynamo? -checks things- huh
of course i had to run into a mono fairy type
Electross can learn Brick Break. so I guess I am catching this thingy
i just lost to a rattata
oof
I need to find something that isn't ground type that I can teach Brick Break to as soon as I catch it
most of my team currently has to wait until they evolve in order to learn it
stg im gonna have a salamence by the time i can open my gym for the first tim
||GOD||DAMN FAIRY TYPES DUDE
do beating up pokemon give you money?
oh grace
no
Timburr
you get money from trainer battles
finally a fighting type
maybe just start your gym and see what happens
most trainers have a rattata
not the ones in miser marsh
or like starly
and i fought all the trainers in new day plain
miser marsh is for whan you reach day 15
well miser marsh is day 1 now
i still need 2 more pokemon
why must wild pokemon scale with my level
i sold my only item (antidote) for $100 and i just dropped it running away from a stunfisk
okay, the regional Onix does not want to be caught in regular Pokeballs. noted
Smeltix looks cool
I don't even know if it could learn brick break but I am not wasting all of my Pokeballs trying to catch one
smeltix slammed bagon
I am keeping the regional Aron on my team cause I know regular Aggron can learn Brick Break
how much money did you drop
$0 because i had none
oh hi Heracross in the first area
he learns brick break
yupp
sadly couldn't catch him. gunna f12 and try again so I don't waste balls
I am making sure to save before encounters
ooo, there's a sooth bell in the first area
in the grass area above the water on the left side
?tag friendship
No tag friendship found.
umbal chinchou is uglyyy
i call demon chinchou
also Umbal Chinchou knows Thunderwave, Super Sonic, and Bite
it's basically a zubat
oh um
so I have that Aron right
it knows dragon rage
I went to use it in a wild battle to gain exp
and I used the dragon rage attack
but now an error message keeps popping up
rip
show
too late I quickly pressed f12 at one point to reset it
once I save I can try it again in another battle
that's what happens. if you click the OK or X the window it makes the Aron try to use Dragon Rage again and causes the window to pop up again
...
well, I can't really help more unless I have a version of your save to see
what happens
wait i have 1 question did you fight a trainer or a wild pokemon
ddi yuo save before
yup
...
dude I've been saving a lot
okay i have 0 idea
but this should only be a problem if an enemy trainer's dragon rage causes an issue
maybe the animation
if it's just whenever I use it, then I can just avoid it
or maybe some code is broken
found a second heracross after much searching
made me waste all my pokeballs and didn't get caught
btw, the Golett I caufght has Iron Fist
ye
noice
have you opend your gym?
cool
Bro has been neutered
nice
one of the dangers of having low PP moves
they can be strong/useful
but you can put yourself in a ditch real quick
None of us wants to forfeit lmao
LMAO
I dont know what tera he was but he couldve technically teraed
Away from ghost
So seismic toss can hit
The game was just sealed honestly
Like 50 rounds ago
lol, btw a question, wat if u throw a shuckle and blissey in it, but give blissey assault vest, and let shuckle use gaurd split on blissey, would that be valid (asuming this can work during trick room)
I'm getting more addicted to Pokerouge the further I get lol
I'm on fight 88 at the moment
how's my pokerouge going? sidenote what does the golden pokeball do?
You get the golden pokeball every 50 waves, and it stacks at 3
Each golden pokeball lets you choose between more items after a round
So at the start you get 1 out of 3 and by the end you get 1 out of 6
ah so thats why i have 4 items
I've used that in Pokerogue too, it is great until you run into a water/flying type Pokemon.
I used a Paldeon Tauros Fire Breed to get to wave 170.
i gave him a black belt and a soul dew
170
what was the rest of your team?
this is my whole team
This is the only thing I can show of the team, the list of mons.
how do yuo get dynamax
I had only fire types when I faced Cress, which is why I lost.
A really rare item called the Dynamax Band.(I believe that's its name)
and same for terrastalazaion and mega-ing right?
The Dynamax Band allows you to get Max Mushrooms.
I believe you actually always get tera eventually, but I don't remember exactly.
because i fought a breeder with a terrastalized cleffa
The rival does that with their starter eventually, so get used to it.
if i lose to this what will happen?
If you lose to that, I believe you lose the run.
There is an option if you want it to be less unforgiving though, but I won't tell you how you enable that.(It allows you to retry from the start of battle if you lose)
I mean, I did say it is a setting, so it should be easy to find out how to enable it yourself if you actually look at the settings.
no i cant beat it
i almost died and then closed out the window
how do i back out
wait il just rouge ball it
Guys I'm screwed the giratina girl lowered the levels of all my pokemon and it's just been MASSIVE struggle ever since
I may do another run of Pokerogue eventually, but I really don't feel like doing one for a while.
I've come so far and I'm going to white out to Whitney
Which feels incredibly poetic lol
yeah they are a bit of a pain
Well, nothing that can really be done about that I guess.
I never knew that was a thing.
Can you tell who my carriers are? XD
Thanks
Boutta lose it but I also hatched a Mew which was nice
Who's Olean again
Secretary
Oh yeah
oh
rose i never forget his pants
They're just that forgettable
I would say yes but I'll be here for an hour so I'll take the L
how do you enable that?
Oh the home screen hit settings
Wonder what it is...
Fennekin getting an upgrade...
who do i keep azumarill with thick fat or empoleon?
You have a chance to get a legendary then.
also it said its a sub legendary
Wow, that is a lot of fainted Pokemon.
I believe in actual Pokemon it was a legendary, but I guess Pokerogue has an even worse system of classification.
I lost half my team trying to get it but I got Flamigo lol
I blame catching Flamigo as the reason I died just now lol
I dunno canon legendary/mythical kinda devolved into "whatever we say so" territory around the time of meltan/melmetal lol
that being said legendary/sub legend is mostly just for the eggs I believe
I actually got Enamorus from my first black+yellow egg
Don't use it cause I don't like Enamorus but I have it ig
opinion on dodrio
I love when running from wild pokemon FAILS (Double encounter...) right before you get hit with your first rival battle making you forced to white out
fr
btw my first shiny was a poochyena in emerald
technically ralts but that was for rival
My first shiny was a Marrill in like Pearl or something. I don't remember because I killed it on accident lol
mine was a gyarados... as a magikarp in emerald
I recall I was trying to look for a feebas and one of the magikarp was just gold
young me caught it but didn't evolve it until the mid 40's because young me thought it'd lose its yellowness
I think even back then I decided to just save and reset if it lost and sure enough red gyarados! I sadly don't have that emerald cart anymore though, lost it before I got pearl 2 years later
I'm happy
Big sad :( Cg on the shiny gyarados that wasn't the lake of rage one! <3
yea rip
outside of that the oldest one I still have that wasn't tap-manipulated was a golduck in pearl
:)
Perfect.
I caught Ursaluna. Who should I boot from the team?
(Sacrificed Ludicolo to get said Ursaluna lol)
depends on type overlap or not
Sylveon
Furfrou is not good I'm ngl
It's decent. But mostly early game which is when I caught him lol.
I have never used Furfrou but I figureed that like with any pokemon that doesn't evolve it was probably great in the early game
It was. I encountered it at... like level 18? And at that level it having Headbutt helped me a lot
XD
pft
Headbutt is nice
Omg he's so much lower level XD
and yet he did still take out a member of the team
YEP
Tbf I only have pokeballs and really wanted him so Ludicolo took one so I could weaken and obtain the bear XD
have you caught the chain trio yet?
the poison three
whatever their trio group is called I forget
The evil poison guys from mask teal thing
ye
No. I was on rount 117 but due to the lady who can change your pokemon/battle against legendaries with your pokemon's movesets I opted to simply bail which put me severely underlevelled
So I've had to start over
Currently on 106
Poggers
I believe they were called the Loyal Three or something like that.
yeah been a bit since I've played so I forgot. but I think it was Loyal Three
look I 100% the game on a second save and then after catching like one pokemon I really wanted as a shiny I got focused on other games instead hahaha
I looked it up and yes, it is the Loyal Three.
nice
I played through the entirety of Pokemon Scarlet twice, and I never actually got a shiny I wanted or completed the game.
the Pokemon I actively shiny hunted for was Slitherwing btw
hunting the paradox mons is
annoying
cause you have to leave the area completely in order to set up a picnic
I want a shiny Eevee, but I have not gotten one in an actual Pokemon game.
Yeah, that can be really annoying.
have to save before making the sandwich, make it, go into area zero, look around the area the mon spawns in, then if the sandwhich runs out you quit and start again. have to make sure auto save is turned off of course
cause the shiny up sandwiches use up herba mystica and I am not farming a lot of 5 star raids for more of what I currently had
other then that, I had a random relaxed egg hunt going on in Pokemon Shield I think. For Galarian Corsola
got a shiny in under 80 eggs I think
after taking a break from the game for like months
I don't want to try hunting for a shiny Eevee with sandwiches specifically because of the fact it uses Herba Mystica.
best bet would be the outbreaks
as you defeat the mons in the outbreak the odds of a shiny coming up increase
think once you beat 60 of the mons in the outbreak you can then set up a picnic or enter and exit a loading area to respawn the mons in the outbreak
I think the closest I got to an Eevee outbreak was getting an Espeon outbreak.
That is very impressive.
I dunno how it'd involve a darkrai but going by the current event I'm willing to say the event raichu knocking itself out with recoil on the same turn it KO's you would result in a tie
You replied to the wrong person by the way.
oops, rip
I’d say because you were using Rampardos (which does 50 damage to itself each time it kills something) but the fact that you’re using Darkrai indicates that you’re not
i remember having the rocky helmet, the rocky helmet killed the enemys pokemon but their attack killed me in the process
aaah yea that might do it
playing some Pokemon This Gym of Mine and tried to use roar to get out of a battle with a wild mon I couldn't run from
it failed
okay def gunna make sure to save before starting gym fights for the day cause I had an Aron trainer come in use dragon rage and got an error which meant I had to reset to my last save
thankfully, the trainers are randomized
but this does not bode well for me if enemy trainer mons or wild mons can use attacks that cause that stupid error to pop up
What Pokemon fangame should I try that I haven't tried already? The only one other than Pokemon Infinite Fusion that I've played is rejuvenation.
I'm currently trying This Gym of Mine, it's odd
my game's a bit buggy
sometimes me or an opponent will use a move and an error pops up
but interesting thing is the wild pokemon scale in level
This caught me by surprise
grats
I may try playing that in the future, but it has the issue of you saying it's buggy for you, and the fact it really just seems annoying to do.
yeah other's have not seen the same issues I have
so it might just be my computer
the main points of the game are, you are a gym leader, you get to pick a starter based on type rather then generation
kinda difficult game to make money in to start with
I play on a Linux computer, so I know about having a lot of issues when playing certain games.
mhmm, you can try it out and if it works, then yay. if not you can find another game to try
I want to try a different fangame as Rejuvenation was not that great, I can't even bring myself to play any farther than the first gym in it.
I would have suggested Pokemon Sardonyx: Raised to Win, but it's not completed even though it had a good amount of content last time I played. I don't know if it's still playable
last I remember they have 2 gyms done but not the rest
I've never heard of that fangame before.
older game I think. I remember watching Pikasprey Yellow play it on YouTube
has regional variants and plans for mega evolutions
they even planned for mega Eeveelutions
which made them all dual typed
game also has dark stuff. like built in death for mons
I've watched videos on This Gym of Mine, and it was an interesting concept. I just don't feel like it would be fun to play, at least for me.
Wait, your Pokemon can die in that?
it basically tells you before you go to talk to someone 'hey they don't look friendly, you might not want to talk to them' and if you ignore the warnings you get pulled into a battle where your mon can and probably will die at the end cause the other was too strong
then you go to a Pokemon center and the Nurse tells you they can't do anything for that Pokemon
game makes you pick the Pokemon you sent out to fight in that battle
Permadeath is why I don't like Nuzlockes, so I don't like that.
yeah I mean, the game does give you warnings. and those battles can be avoided
I think your playstyle would also effect things as you play too
or your choices
sorta like the karma in PIF
besides that the main things I remember about the game is there is a thing that prevents you from overleveling your mons
and they have other variants of Pokemon besides Shinies
Metallic variant I think
The name and the fact your Pokemon can permanently die makes me not want to play that much. Raised to Win sounds like it would have a story I wouldn't want to see.
yea I'm used to permadeath permabox but it's very much a "me" thing lol
but stopped cause I hated the fact my pokemon stopped listening to me cause of the level caps
oooh yea I can see that getting rough, especially with forced faints
If there are not hard level caps then having that happen is not good.
Hard level caps meaning your Pokemon stop leveling up at a certain point.
I've mentioned it before but part of the reason I never got into the fangames is that it seems like they all tend to perpetuate the design fantasy of "What if Pokemon but HARD AND FOR US GAMERS" and like way too many times it just means "hey you wanna play a fun team? Well fuck you, grind your shit and fight it out with these sets of mons to counter exactly this opponent!"
mhmm, but also for the death matches to be fair to the game the characters that would pull you into a death battle actually warn you beforehand. if you ignore it and decide to fight this trainer with one of your level 10 mons he just sends out a regional Luxray at level 70 to beat yo butt
right like how with IF and super mariomon both handle it
(and notably, it's optional in both cases)
also we've said it before but pokemon does not lend itself well when it comes to designing to be difficult
also Sardonyx is based off an rp between the main devs of the game they had back in 2011
so of course it's weird
your starters are Solosis, Eevee, and Meinfoo
at least not for maingame stuff, postgame challenges like the battle frontier are meant to be min-maxed for (Factory aside) so that's kind of a pass since you're not required to engage with it
they said the difficulty is curved like Pokemon Platinum
makes sense
ye, I honestly just like the concept art they had for some of their megas
I dunno why I usually order maingame comparasons like plat -> B2/W2 challenge mode (items) -> S/M (EVs) -> BDSP endgame (items + EVs)
If you actually have trainers that are almost unbeatable at that point in the game, why would you even add them in the first place? It isn't fun to have that kind of trainer in my opinion.
that being said I've only seen one hack that outright took away EV gains from the player but at least it was one that didn't give any to the opponents either and wasn't specifically aiming to be super difficult
Unless it is specifically a story progression fight.
I'd actually argue the reverse in that having those trainers is fine but only if they're both optional and give a warning as to what they're about
No they're not unbeatable
kinda like the route masters in gen 7 now that I think about it
You just need to specifically grind an entirely new team for exactly that almost unbeatable opponent and you're good to go!
👍
I said at the point in the game you find them, if they're unbeatable at that point I don't like it.
reminds me of altered evolutions where the readme was basically "if you don't have roselia by gym 1 then go get one rofl" which is uuuuh
it wasn't story progression fight, it was there to show you 'this guy is part of a very dangerous group, just walk away' and if you didn't walk away then you learn just why this game's group is dangerous
I think people just like making hard games
yea if it's optional like that then I feel like that's alright
what happens in the game was based on your choices. if you decided to not walk away from the guy then you lost a pokemon
but if it's mandatory to fight them at that point then you lose a lot of generosity
also reminds me back of when so many hacks gave brock/roxanne/gym 1 equivalent shuckles because it was a rock type you could get at that level
I still don't like it because I like to be able to actually beat trainers when I encounter them, even if they're a bit stronger than other trainers.
the game does have a nuzlocke mode, but the devs suggest not doing that mode unless you really really wanted to
pretty sure they've stopped doing that (most of them swapped over to lileep) at least but Vega was probably the most infamous with it by giving its shuckle spore + curse... and having a turbo specific counter to it in growl hoothoot... obtained from a trade by trading away a 5% encounter togepi
(Minus added in accuracy debuffing Flash as an alternate option and Viva outright got rid of the shuckle in favor of something else)
but the only thing I liked about the concept of Sardonyx was mostly their plans for the eeveelutions. they didn't add more eeveelutions, but instead planned to give each existing one a mega form that was dual typed
Either way, I most likely won't play it, even if the mega Eeveelution ideas are good.
granted the concept art made it hard to tell what the types were, the art was still lovely~
think I saved the pics
if I remember correctly, in order, it's Water/flying, electric/steel, fire/rock, dark/poison, psychic/ghost, grass/fighting, ice/ground, and fairy/bug
the umbreon one had sprite models last I checked
They look cool.
art style gives many of them a sheen to them that throws off the typing a bit
but I like the idea of the Eeveelutions getting a dual type of the types that didn't get their own eeveelution
for mega forms
Flareon really doesn't need a sheen to it.
yeaa
I think it's just the art style for the concept art. cause the umbreon and espeon megas don't have that sheen
same for the Sylveon
I can tell which ones have a sheen and which ones don't.
From the art I could tell almost all of their secondary types.
for Leafeon I had a hard time telling cause I guess I just didn't automatically see the wrappings around the front legs and think it had anything to do with fighting
I mostly couldn't tell for Umbreon.
true but purple does seem to fit with poison. it's spritework for the mega form is nice
Nothing about its design looked like poison in my opinion.
Apparently besides shiny there are two other color variants. Metallic and Radiant
Metallic and Radiant umbreon
I like the Radiant Umbreon design more than normal Umbreon's design.
it's vibrant. back when I first played there was no Radiant variant. just shiny and metallic along with an even lower chance of a mon being both shiny and meallic
guess they got rid of that combo and put in radiant instead
oh wow radiant Espeon
I like blue.
this is bold
I prefer the normal Sylveon shiny over this.
from what I can see Metallic just basically turns most of the mon into greyscale besides some portions
Radiant Glaceon is at least very different compared to shiny Glaceon
but still odd
I hate that one.
I got godzilla vibes for colors
radiant leafeon
radiant Flareon is kinda... meh
okay woa. they really changed Jolteon's base Shiny form
Shiny Jolteon and then Radiant Jolteon
they have a lot of mons, regional variants, and even megas and megas for regional variants
neat
https://codex.ragnarokraven.net/rtw/index.php?title=Vaporeon just the wiki for the game if anyone wants to take a lookie at the mons and concept arts
Always love it when vega gets mentioned
Bro 6 consective turns of para-
Lesson learnt, you cant trick a sticky hold
The ability description said "lose" your held item so I thought it was only for knock off
@unkempt egret
I got something better….
@sweet crypt should I use it and if yes what do I fuse
I don't think you should imo
Ok
I'd say throw something on flamigo so you can get another medal on that slot
I didn't realize you can nickname pokemon in this
This is endless btw
This man's protean Genesect gave me so many issues
I MISCLICKED OMG
Gotta start all over because of a stupid misclick
This is going well
Actually got mad at my blunder so I may have just thrown Zekrom out in front.
i was unaware that bosses could spawn on random floors
calm down go!
Oh yeah I think that's happened to me once Idk what triggers it
Sick flutter mane btw
how tf
had to throw out like 500+ ultra balls and max potions
i love the custom shinies
the leveling update dropped
It's ok Azelf sucks anyway
rip, can still use it in a future run
Is it any good?
yeah it's not very bulky but it's definitely my favorite of the 3
Really?
I think you're the first person I've seen that actually likes one of the lake trio so much
To me they've always been very forgettable legendaries
i like em theyre cool little guys
it's an update lol
I like uxie myself but I can see that
azelf's generally the one that's gotten the most use in vanilla but I dunno about pokerogue
They're kind of boring and don't have any use
might be cool for a mono psychic run if it doesnt take up too many points
but its a legendary so its probably 7 of my 10 points
Azelf is 6
yea 600 BST legends are usually in the 5-6 range
ill figure it out when i get to that point lol
maybe i'll have a better psychic legendary by then
unless you're heckin poipole (UB but still) with a point count of 8
it does, especially since beast boost doesn't super stand out amongst many ways to stat boost
it's good yes but not 8 cost good on its own
I think that if you started with Naganadel its performance is strong enough in spite of its 540 BST to warrant a 8 cost
However, that's the thing
You don't start with Naganadel
You start with Poipole
So you need to get Dragon Pulse first
I mean, Kartana's an 8 cost, ain't it?
And I'd rather have a Naganadel than a Kartana, easily
i mean techincally you can start with it unless the movesets have been changed
or the evo method
I think Pokerogue deliberately removed Dpulse for that specific reason but I could be wrong
Well, moved it to a later level
I could be wrong though
If I am then yeah no the 8 cost is deserved
oh
should have figured that the E4 and the champ aren't forced to be the same version
since I got Hala (SM) for the E4 but Hau (US/UM) for the champ
dang it!
ninetales cleared but if I was adding silly self-achievements to this game I'd add "use stellar tera blast" as one since I almost just did it as Drampa but I got crit
ninetales was like uuuuh
the game loved throwing out steel types to turbo-murder me but outside of those it's fine
Eugh Vulpix I'd really love to evolve you but not until your moveset is better since Ninetales learns no levelup moves...
I think pokerogue goes with the gen 8/9 idea of "the hold-off mechanic is bad, you get everything with the memory mushroom after evo"
I feel sad this is Regigigas instead of Miraidon
ok real question
does doing a generational quest increase the chance of encountering the teams/E4 of that region or am I just getting generally lucky and having it line up
as a side note doing squakabilly for gen 9 since i like suffering and early Return TM + moxie is going hard
Okay so I just caught Ceruledge and Marshadow back to back and I don't know which one I wanna use...
Ceruledge won lol
doing some shiny hunting in PLA before ZA releases and i have just found my FOURTH shiny aipom😭
side eyes
HOLY FUCK BATTLE BOND!!!
Poggers
rip the skitty I was feeding candies to
had to release it so a moon stone turned into charcadet's armor
Immediately stopped the run I started to slap battle bond froakie onto a new run
Respect
Even better fact is that I have modest nature on it
Holy shit??????
What is this luck
Very nice
Looking good :>
Not to be that person... but Modest is detrimental for Glastrier
Spectrier is the special attacking one
Glastrier is Physical
Now that is something.
I was surprised I got that as a shiny.
why is this workiing
Lol I've got Aether Foundation as my current villians.. which I am completely okay with having two dark types and a ghost type in my team
Faba's team is pure psychic type XD
man imagine if I had something halfway decent with moxie and not the heckin parrot
Moxie Boost would be so nice on the right mon
then again squakabilly desperatley wants good TMs and I got both of them (Return/Facade and Dual Wingbeat)
I don't think any of my abilities are what you would call good but I do have a decent team
er, brave bird works but squak would rather not blow itself up in the process of a sweep
Squawabilly wants to prove himself to everyone that shames him
ROFL quite possibly the only run that wanted to encounter wave 94 bug maniac
Hello Lusamine
ok then
Why am I having such good luck today?
Squak doesn't want quiver dance but glimmora can have it as a backup carry
Oh no...
LOL I U turned into Ceruledge as she focus blasted. Then she switched as I swords danced in her face and proceeded to sweep her
Now I'm wondering if this save I am playing on has really good rng or not, maybe I'm just getting lucky.
Which one?
Defo the luck. It's RNG city with Pokemon :P
egg voucher
since it's +5 eggs and the dynamax band only unlocks gigantamax forms... and your team doesn't have anything that has a max form right now
What should I evolve my Eevee into this run?
OH DEAR GOD I ONLY HAVE ONE LIVING POKEMON
hmmm what run are you planning on?
sadly all of them share the same medal so that's not a factor
Are you talking to me?
yea since you asked for eevees
How the hell did a Luvdisc outspeed a +1 speed Meowscarada
it depends on a lot but the main thing is that if you unlocked eevee's passive it's not gonna stay whatever it is
rain?
Swift Swim
also if you're using No Retreat then don't use glaceon's special move, just use ice beam there
Okay, I really am just planning on winning my first run, so I don't really have a set goal for what I'm doing.
ah in that case uuuh... "not flareon"?
espeon and sylveon are probably the most useful for the bosses but leafeon can give you a leech seed source which can be helpful in a pinch
All because the worst water pokemon in existence outspeeds me I'm going to lose
I don't have a passive ability on any of my Pokemon, so that doesn't matter much to me.
And Hydro Pump can't miss in rain can it?
It can
Unless its different in Pokerogue
I hate when this game gives me back to back battles
Its hurricane and thunder that ignores accuracy checke in rain
It's stupid
I literally only had one pokemon alive when this gym leader assaulted me
Should I evolve Alo Vulpix immedietely and get her moves from memory mushrooms?
Like she's level 5
Lol
Imma do it. I need an excuse to use them when they come out.
Evolving was the way to go. Learns D. Gleam upon evolving
Should I take the wave 13 Dynamax Band? I lost the previous run very early so I started a new one just now.
In comparison I would over the other two items
This is the second early Dynamax Band that I have gotten.
I've gotten it once but my favorite early game item was the candy jar I got from the second battle five runs ago XD
I believe my first run on this save had Dynamax Band before wave 10, but if not, it was definitely before wave 20.
I found the Candy Jar.
I think I would want to have a different Eeveelution than Jolteon, but the other items are so bad I would want to reroll the options.
the heck
been a while since ive seen cloun
late but if you grabbed the dynamax band then G-max eevee is also an option on the table
huh seems like the ability up for grabs is sturdy
I heard it wasn't that great so I decided to get Sylveon instead.
understandable
ok cool I have a Sturdy Burd
was using sheer force which only affected Flare Blitz
Guess I get another chance at facing Erika on floor 30 with a Sylveon as the Eeveelution I'm using.
I lost to Erika last run on the same floor with Sylveon.
Vileplume got you, I presume?
Anyways I have not been looking closely at this channel so time to respond to like hundreds of messages
Yeah, Vileplume got me, this time I didn't see Vileplume though.
I was gonna argue against it until you said story progression, and now I'm wondering what the fuck kind of fangame you were talking about
She can have either Vileplume or Bellossom, I believe
It was a Gloom for some reason.
Ah, that's possible too, right
It usually is one of those 2 though
Gloom feels a lot more rare to me
Some games have unwinnable fights as part of the story, but I just am weird I guess.
Unwinnable fights as part of story I'm alright with
But in any other context?
Lmfao no
Bonus points if you can "win" the unwinnable fight
Because it's funny
Idk, Azelf's probably one of the better legendaries
Seriously?
And also, yeah the Evil Team Leaders can be pains
Worst egg move though, unfortunate
I FUCKING HATE SPRINGTIDE STORM INACCURACY
No reason not to
(I know you've already taken these stuff but idk I still feel like commenting on these could help for future runs)
Even if you don't have Gmax-Capable mons, the Band can still be useful for making the item pool for Rogue items smaller, thus allowing you to get more coveted items like Leftovers
I know some people consider Phione better than Manaphy in pokerogue because it's cheaper and has water absorb when normally Phione sucks ass and Manaphy is always better
But how is Azelf good? At least in pokerogue
Well in base Pokemon, it simply has good Speed, SpA and movepool
So it can suicide lead and do shit like lay Hazards and Taunt while still threatening stuff
In Pokerogue, the high SpA and Speed still helps
And additionally Pokerogue gives it Tail Glow
As well as like
Aura Sphere, Ice Beam and Psystrike
Also it does technically have the same Attack as SpA iirc
And that does matter in base Pokemon with moves like Knock Off and Gen 4 Self-Destruct
I see
I guess it's not as bad as I thought
I certainly didn't expect it to have a good movepool
also yea I recall that helping it out a lot as a suicide lead in gen 4
since unlike a lot of them it could very much take something out if it wasn't a ghost type
I should rank the Legendaries based on how well they typically do competitively
Tbh the real reason people use Phione over Manaphy is because going out of your way to get all those unlocks for Manaphy is a pain in the ass
And Phione's conversely a Pokemon you'll likely get full unlocks for without even trying
yea since phione is a 7/8 hatch from the eggs compared to manaphy's 1/8
And it certainly works well enough
I feel like if I was doing that tier list I'd have a seperate tier for "defensive without Recover: dead on arrival" legendaries
since I recall that being a decently collected list
Hey, to be fair to the Regis, they weren't dead on arrival
... Except Regigigas
But that's Regigigas we're talking about
I can see that since I recall them having decent niches in gen 3?
But yeah no every Regi except for Eleki would really like Recover
Eleki is hard to judge
Because there's always shit getting in the way of correctly accessing its strength
Whether it's usage keeping it in Gen 8 UU despite being kinda bad there
also I dunno why I keep thinking moltres is worse than it actually is since it was only below UU for two gens (1, where all fire types are bad by default, and 5 when flying types in general had high competition)
Or Tera making it broken
I would say "even zapdos dropped in gen 5" but I believe that was thundurus's fault specifically?
actually I'm not sure since base thundy got banned and theiran does things a bit differently? I do know that's the only gen of all 9 where zapdos wasn't in OU
I love how every time you beat him Finn just hates you more and more XD
Yea ik im just excited i got the thing
Never seen this kinda insult before
nothing like a game to bring out the rage in some
You can't go wrong with a machamp froggy
