If you're bringing Ttar specifically only to hit Shedinja, then not only are you a fool
#other-pokemon-games

But you're also wasting your time
Since Pdon and Pogre will reset the weather
And they heavily threaten Ttar with death
Grass and Electric aren't the most common types in Ubers, too
Like you have uhh
Miraidon that was the 4th most broken Pokemon and quickly sent to AG as well
Uhhh
That's

Aside from maybe Grass Knot as coverage on Caly-S
Maybe Tbolt as coverage on MMY?
So basically Tera Water requires you to have a status condition
Or you're cooked instantly

In Singles Miraidon just clicks Overheat or U-Turn and now your Rillaboom is either dead or looking directly at a Ho-Oh
But yeah Miraidon is actually far more broken in NatDex than Gen 9
Though it is certainly AG in both
mild dirge

In doubles it runs neither of them because those sets suck in doubles
sweet crypt
That's because in NatDex, Miraidon will now hit you with a Devastating Drake in your face and utterly obliterate all "checks"
NatDex is wacky

There’s basically only one usable moveset

With Z Moves in the picture, Miraidon was considered an even greater threat than Mega Rayquaza

Ah that makes sense

It could KO with Tera Fire overheat miraidon but that immediately makes you prime instakill territory for another top threat

Rilla is usually running a more offensive set with Band in Singles

My favorite pokemon are OU by technicality

Mega Chomp is a sad Pokemon
Every other Mega considered to be not worth running due to being either not much better or as good as the base form have managed to beat the allegations

It does do stuff base Chomp can't I guess but it really doesn't compare to what Chomp does that its Mega cannot

It’s funny how some of the mons in Ubers are considered throw picks in vgc
Espathra as a random example is in Ubers but in VGC it has never even seen a top 20 apart from the one format where any mon that isn’t from paldea is banned along with all legendaries
sweet crypt

I'm not too surprised Espathra struggles in VGC, since a major part of its threat is Tera and it is rather frail and probably pretty prone to getting double targeted, while its main STAB is a single target move
Basically, Speed Boost + Calm Mind + Stored Power will build up to obliterate anything that isn't a Dark type
And for Dark types, you run either Tera Fairy Dgleam or Tera Fighting Tera Blast
You can also run moves like Protect, Substitute or Roost to stall for more Speed Boost boosts

Yeah and setting up is basically unheard of in vgc unless you have enough bulk and speed to live more than one turn while being double targeted
It’s far better to lower your opponents stats than raise your own

Unless you’re the dogs with metal or bicycles
In which case you raise your own for free
And in specifically the shield dogs case you always run it with iron defense and body press to one shot anything but ghost types
sweet crypt
Really the only things you'd see that lower stats in Singles are like, Intimidate and Parting Shot, or moves that just have that secondary effect at a chance
Like Moonblast lowering SpA
I guess Defog too
But nobody is using Defog to lower evasion
It's to clear hazards

It’s funny how some of the mons in Ubers are considered throw picks in vgc

Shaymin Sky, Zekrom, Rayquaza, Magearna, Kyurem-B and Deoxys Attack
sweet crypt
Like a list of very obvious ones I could find are
Shaymin Sky, Zekrom, Rayquaza,...
I feel like that's primarily due to opportunity cost for all of these
Since they take a restricted slot
There's no format like VGC where you have 2 Ubers max or anything
You can use as many Ubers as you'd like
In Ubers
So you can run more than just the 2 best
mild dirge
There's no format like VGC where you have 2 Ubers max or anything
Sometimes in VGC it’s only one restricted which can be considered its version of Ubers

So sometimes you’re locked into just one and if your teams cornerstone is shaymin sky then you probably did something wrong
sweet crypt
Bro is folding to a single Fake Out

Rayquaza has historically been the weakest of the Gen 3 box art legendaries
With the exception of Mega Rayquaza

sweet crypt
It’s funny how in SV zacian is now considered inferior to zamazenta
Unfortunately the same can't be said for Singles
Zacian, while no longer broken, is still like a top 5 mon in Ubers
Zamazenta Crowned is Ubers, but utterly irrelevant
And Hero Zamazenta is OU

Zacian struggles in doubles now but excels in singles from what I’ve seen

Like, in most of the mainline games, society is practically a utopia where humanity seems to find a balance between nature and technological development, and rarely compromises the former in favor of the latter.
But then you have something like Z-A, where there's a bit of friction there, where Quasartico is literally fencing off city streets as 'wild zones', and people have to adapt to the fact that they gotta wake up in the morning and cope with wild Steelix outside of their door.

since iris will almost always heal it (and have it get OHKO'ed a second time) instead of letting the 1HP and +2/+2 haxorus sweep your team

I have never played gen 5 games, and I have heard they're good.

also shoutouts to heckin shauntal's ||choice scarf chandelure|| that she gets in challenge mode

It was nice I got a Skrelp in the gym though

Where is this bitch
I'm in the lab but no blonde in sight
I think my biggest gripe with this game so far is the instructions in your quest book do not change when the quest updates
It's actually infuriating lol

I forgot what she told me to do as it was 4 AM so I wasn't paying full attention to dialogue and when I woke up this morning at noon the quest log says to go to the lab

Oh Melia's buneary is shiny lol
My current team. I would have had a shiny poochyena but Melia KO'd it

I just realized my Mightyena has Moxie
And is adamant
I didn't change its nature either lol
sweet crypt
I remember I was keeping a close eye on Reborn's wiki to check what I get from them and how to complete some of them
I'll probably end up doing the same here
Because that got me a fucking Volcarona in Reborn
And it fucked shit up
And it was amazing
I love Volcarona
supple basalt
I'm too overleveled (Happens when you had a team of awful mons lol)
sweet crypt
Minor issue though, HJK is an egg move
And egg move means breeding and breeding is annoying
Though you can actually get HJK pretty early it seems
But would I really toss away my starter for a great egg move?
Yes, actually
Yes I would
Like I've played Reborn, I know I'm gonna need to bring my A-game once I reach late game
And unlike last time, I can't just rely on Volcarona, since even back then I got it through sheer chance
And just like Reborn, you have one chance to get it early game, and if you don't, it's late game
Very late game
Looking at Rejuvenation's Crests, which are held items akin to Thick Club that give strong effects to specific Pokemon
Boltund's Crest for examples gives it Fishious Rend's effect but weaker on all its Biting moves
Which is hilarious
Doesn't Boltund already have Strong Jaw?
supple basalt
Does it?
rugged comet
yeah
supple basalt
I've never used it lol
sweet crypt
Cinccino's crest turns all its moves into multi hit moves that deal 30% base damage per hit
rugged comet
yeah some are a little crazy
sweet crypt
So you can either play it safe and run Skill Link for a guaranteed 1.5× damage boost or throw caution to the wind and run Technician like a true gambler
Darmanitan's Crest is literally just "Allows this Pokemon to use Zen Mode" lmfao
Delcatty has reverse Supreme Overlord this is so hilarious
rugged comet
ledian crest can make comet punch hit 20 times

Electrode practically doubles its Physical Attack by halving Physical Defence of opponents as it attacks

No but seriously it doesn't even sound that broken, hear me out
Ledian's speed is like
Giga mid
85 Speed
It's also very frail, like, 55/50/110
It can maybe take a weak neutral special hit
But it isn't tanking much else
And it's also Bug/Flying
And can't hold HDB
So it has effectively half the bulk with Stealth Rocks up and a bad type in general
Like it really is Rampardos 2

Does anyone know why you can't catch paradoxes? I found one as a boss in endless mode and just like the end of classic you can't catch it
terse pollen
You can only catch them if you already have them unlocked as a starter (hatched them from an egg)
unkempt egret
I believe you can't catch the endless mode boss ones even if you have unlocked them as starters though
since they're mostly just checks to make sure you aren't catch-spamming through everything
supple basalt
Okay Endless is super difficult what the fuckkkk
Why do pokemon level so much slower
HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO WIN WITHOUT CATCH SPAMMING
supple basalt
I believe you can't catch the endless mode boss ones even if you _have_ unlocked...
Also you can lol
I've caught some bosses that were giving me issues. You need to get them lower than half
Paradox mons just are scripted to not be able to be caught it seems

Question. Does Golisopod get passive regenerator?
Because if it does that is the most disgusting thing on the face of the planet
E Exit makes it go back and Guzma sends it back out healed. Like what the hell??????
sweet crypt
Question. Does Golisopod get passive regenerator?
Yup
Devs were like "If Emergency Exit is gonna suck ass we may as well give Golisopod a passive that makes it suck slightly less ass"
sweet crypt
Yeah but WE don't get the passive abilities
You do
You just need candies to unlock it
sweet crypt
Basically, Pokemon gain candies when you hatch, catch or gain friendship with them
And on the Starter Screen, you can spend these candies to decrease Cost, buy Eggs or unlock Passives
supple basalt
Wait how do you unlock it? Meowscarada has like 270 of them
Nvm
You said how
As I asked
Lol
unkempt egret
rofl
sweet crypt
Wait how do you unlock it? Meowscarada has like 270 of them
Wow you were missing out on a lot of power
unkempt egret
yea the main thing is that mons with higher costs gain candy slower, but also take less to unlock stuff
sweet crypt
Meowscarada's passive is Magician, which now works whether or not you have an item
AKA: Meowscarada steals everything your opponent has ever loved with Triple Axel
And now has 50 million fucking items
supple basalt
Wow
unkempt egret
yea magician goes from being a dump ability to turbo good
supple basalt
Is it good to grab Pickup
supple basalt
OOO
sweet crypt
Is it good to grab Pickup
Turns into Magician when it evolves, and like I said with Taxel it steals basically everything the opponent ever had
unkempt egret
my unlock order is always passive -> cost reductions -> rest into eggs
sweet crypt
I believe those egg moves are Fire Lash, Parting Shot and Wicked Blow in that order
unkempt egret
the main thing with the species eggs is that they have a really high chance of being shiny apparently?
sweet crypt
I usually go Passive -> Cost Reduction 1 -> Eggs until I get all Egg Moves -> Cost Reduction 2
unkempt egret
I haven't gotten one yet but it is a nice bonus after you've bought everything else
sweet crypt
Depends on the passive and egg moves though
unkempt egret
I can see that too yea
supple basalt
What does Reduce Cost do?
supple basalt
Of items?
unkempt egret
yea so in meow's case that 3 cost goes down to a 2, then to a 1
sweet crypt
And can be purchased twice
unkempt egret
so you can take more mons into a game starting in
sweet crypt
Meows goes from 4 to 3 to 2
unkempt egret
oh meow's a 4 cost yea
so 2 at minimum
if it's at 1 to start with then it goes down to 0.5, then to 0.25.
supple basalt
I might just abandon my current run and see what else I can get
These have been my mains lol
sweet crypt
It'd be funny if you could go to -1 cost
And get a free point for bringing a Pokemon
Not that you need it, once you have enough Cost Reductions on everything
I almost always manage to bring Tapu Fini, Linoone and Sableye on all my runs
And more often than not I can also bring another Pickup mon and a secondary carry
supple basalt
I'll wait till I can get more cost reductions
supple basalt
Meowscarada is always my main carry
sweet crypt
5 cost at base, with insane bulk, immunity to Status via Misty Surge, Fairy Aura
You run QD/Earth Power/Moonblast/Recover and the entire game is at your mercy
And you still have so many points remaining
It's crazy how it isn't nerfed yet it's been like this for so long
supple basalt
I do have a Tapu Fini
sweet crypt
It's like when Scizor had DiB
180 BP STAB with a roughly 50% chance to flinch on a Pokemon with Tinted Lens is very fair
Because yeah at that point in time Tinted Lens was Scizor's passive
supple basalt
Damn
sweet crypt
SD+Bullet Punch+DiB=You win if you can set up a single Swords Dance
Any faster Fire type would get dropped by Bullet Punch and every slower Fire Type gets dropped by DiB
supple basalt
Imma try and get candies for Tapu. Maybe a better ability too. I don't have a scyther at the moment
sweet crypt
Scizor was nerfed pretty hard
It's still plenty good
But it isn't "Easiest most braindead win of my life" good
That'd be Miraidon
supple basalt
Lmao
sweet crypt
Or any Legendary with Calm Mind and Recover honestly
supple basalt
I was so sad I had a Miraidon chance and my egg I got from it hatched into Regigigas
I was so sad
sweet crypt
The AI is way too stupid to use physical attackers vs you as you spam Calm Mind
So mons like Palkia, Dialga, Lugia, Terapagos, Reshiram instantly win
supple basalt
I don't remember if Suicune had Recover but I know it had Calm Mind
sweet crypt
Even though Giratina and Ho-Oh don't boost bulk, they also instantly win for the same reason because they're so bulky at base that they can pull off the same shit
Giratina also has Shadow Shield as a passive
Lunala is capable of doing this without any egg moves or passives
But it does mean you need to use a Cosmog
supple basalt
I do have me a Giratina
sweet crypt
And I think Calm Mind is a TM
supple basalt
I just havn't used any box arts
sweet crypt
The Box Arts can be a bit hard to commit to at first if you don't have the correct egg moves on them
Because they're so damn expensive
supple basalt
Lemme go see what egg move I got on Gira
D Dance and Spectral Thief
Did not realize I hatched 2
I love that the legendary beats have Beast Boost as their passive lol. Unfortunately my Suicune has no egg moves

If you don't have an ice type, tbh even a Fairy or Dragon or Rock move usually works
supple basalt
Valid. I've always triple axel'd him but since I now have Fire Lash I ditch Axel for Play Rough
sweet crypt
With that said, Taxel is less viable for this than other strong Ice moves
Because you start with weak hits, which may allow Rayquaza to get a fuckton of Defence boosts
supple basalt
Yeah I almost always give a wide lens to Meowscarada. I actually only have Ice Beam on Greninja because RNG blessed me with the TM
sweet crypt
Ash Greninja also happens to hit like a freight train
supple basalt
Yeah I got lucky in that Blaziken gave me the kill I needed XD
sweet crypt
Yeah I got lucky in that Blaziken gave me the kill I needed XD
Let me guess: Rival greeded because they saw that Fighting was SE vs Greninja?
supple basalt
Yep! He doesn't realize he's the ONLY one that can tera. Funniest part is Water Shuriken did not one shot. He STAYED IN despite me CLEARLY being faster XD
Should I catch this...
sweet crypt
Yep! He doesn't realize he's the ONLY one that can tera. Funniest part is Water ...
If you don't have Axew, go ahead
And depending on your team, you may want to catch it anyways
supple basalt
Bellibolt's primary job has been tanky switch-in right now
sweet crypt
I also note that Rivalry is utter garbage
So if you can, take a Mold Breaker Haxorus instead
supple basalt
Oh this one ain't mold breaker I'll K-O it
sweet crypt
Gambling for a 50/50 on what gender your opponent is is NOT fun
supple basalt
(Meowscarada being a fucking menace stealing everyone's shit)
I have Lucky Eggs on over half my party members
sweet crypt
Theft 👍
supple basalt
HELL YEAH
sweet crypt
I usually use Meows as a secondary carry
Mainly because it doesn't deal enough damage compared to my typical main carry
(Well, if I use Meows at all)
supple basalt
Who's your main?
sweet crypt
Who's your main?
I dont main a main carry
supple basalt
Meowscarada's my current main because Protean is also a menace
sweet crypt
I just use whatever the heck I want as a main carry
But if I feel like winning at very quick speeds while putting 0 effort into anything, I run Eternatus
supple basalt
Protean without the nerf is an actual menace with my fav set lol
sweet crypt
Who can be ran Solo to run a Meta Speedrun Team
supple basalt
I have to remind myself I'm candy hunting for Tapu Fini
Wait can you CATCH Eternatus?
sweet crypt
Wait can you CATCH Eternatus?
Only if you have literally every other starter
But as you can probably guess, being that hard to obtain means that Eternatus is an absolute monster
supple basalt
Oh okay. Makes sense. I'll prolly check if I have Axew rq
sweet crypt
Even ignoring Eternamax Eternatus, spamming Dragon Energy, Nasty Plot and Recover beats every fight that isn't the Final Boss
And you can beat Final Boss if you use Tera vs it
supple basalt
I do this thing can d i e
sweet crypt
And if you get Eternamax, the odds of winning instantly drop to 0
Me when I want to say the odds of winning rise to 100%
And the odds of losing drop to 0
And then accidentally say the odds of winning drop to 0
sweet crypt
The secret to beating Eternamax when you're a new player is to rub salt in the wound and start stalling
Or swear at the top of your lungs
Or start gardening
supple basalt
I lied I've beat him once with Delphox, Crobat, Meowscarada, Flygon, Mimikyu, and Araquanid
sweet crypt
Salt Cure can be almost guaranteed by cycling through biomed like Cave and Mountains and getting a Garganacl
Garganacl is a fat fuck and can usually land Salt Cure even without Sturdy, and start stalling the shit out of Eternatus with Recover
Graveyard guarantees a Curse user, where the bulkier the Pokemon, the better
supple basalt
I guess he needs a good nature for the stall battle lol
sweet crypt
Curse will eliminate 1 healthbar per turn
All you need is for your Curser to land 1 Curse near the start of the battle and the win is basically guaranteed
Leech Seed does the same damage as Garganacl, though the users typically die easier
supple basalt
Might use this my next run
supple basalt
It's only 4 but yeah it's better to catch a wild
I really want to catch a shiny AND I'M FEELING CHEATED BY THE EVENT LOL
sweet crypt
Other strats include hitting it with a Topsy-Turvy (most reliable with Prankster/Mega Sableye), Soaking it in tandem with previously mentioned Salt Cure or Toxic and setting up to +6 on Phase 1 with a bulky, recovery using setup sweeper (preferably with Leftovers)
I use the last of those listed strats all the time
Since usually when I do a run, I always bring Tapu Fini for the final fight
sweet crypt
As it can solo almost any fight in the game
