#

That's why I mentioned Soal first

#

Soak

supple basalt
#

My Tapu Fini sucks right now

sweet crypt
#

Salazzle by itself is not as reliable as one would hope, since Eternatus is unbelievably faster than it

supple basalt
#

I almost have enough for Fini's passive tho

sweet crypt
#

Eternatus is an extremely fast Pokemon

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

This whale sized mf has 130 fucking speed

supple basalt
#

And Meowscarada has to be Jolly with as many vitamins down its throat as I can shove

sweet crypt
#

Less speed than Meowscarada when it isn't Ash Gren I think

#

Yeah, 122 and 123

#

Both should need vitamins or Soul Dews or X Speed to outspeed base Eternatus

supple basalt
#

I have a soul dew on Meow

#

BUT IT STEALS ALL MY ITEMS

sweet crypt
#

But yeah Eternatus is freakishly fast

sweet crypt
#

And Eternatus is always neutral nature

supple basalt
#

Honestly the Flamethrower pisses me off the most

#

XD

sweet crypt
#

So if your Soul Dew was on Speed, it does NOT matter if it gets stolen

sweet crypt
#

A strategy I see some people try to use for Eternatus is fusing Heatran and a Fairy type

#

Fairy/Steel with Flash Fire walls the shit out of Eternatus

#

There's a very major issue here however

supple basalt
#

Greninja is timid I should move Lucario's Soul Dew to him

sweet crypt
#

2, even

#

1: Heatran's a legendary, and expensive as fuck

#

2: DNA Splicers do not exist

#

By that I mean basing a strategy around getting one is extremely stupid

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

Because they're so rare

#

Also, base Heatran probably solos Eternatus anyways

#

It still resists Dragon and is fat as hell

supple basalt
#

I think I have a Heatran but I've never used it lol

sweet crypt
#

And I think it has Recover as an egg move, too?

supple basalt
#

Unsure SevenThonk

sweet crypt
#

Magma Storm + Recover and I'd imagine Heatran could solo

supple basalt
#

Possibly. Idk I think I have it but have never used it wd_shrug

#

I probably am just gonna spend most of my time gathering candies before aiming for Eternatus' second defeat

sweet crypt
#

I barely see anyone use Heatran, I wonder why?

#

I mean, great stats, great type, great ability, great passive, good egg moves, good normal moves

#

You get the idea

#

Heatran has 2 weaknesses when you have its Passive unlocked

#

Fighting, and Mold Breaker Excadrill

#

Earth Eater is crazy

#

I'd test it out for myself but I don't have all unlocks yet

#

Maybe that's why, actually

#

That's a common issue I face with a lot of Pokemon

supple basalt
#

Once I get Tapu's passive I might go for Heatran cause Earth Eater is good. Legendaries are just annoying to get candies for

sweet crypt
#

Mainly Legendaries

supple basalt
#

She needs two more for the passive,,,

sweet crypt
#

I want Contrary on Enamorus so I can spam Fairy Aura Contrary Fleur Cannon, is that so much to ask for?

supple basalt
#

It is XD

sweet crypt
#

Fini's probably already serviceable with Fairy Aura, but it really starts getting crazy when you get Quiver Dance and Recover on it

#

Earth Power's good too

#

Springtide Storm... Well, it exists

#

It's uhh

#

Better than using like

#

Idk, what Fairy move does Fini start with?

#

Probably Fairy Wind or something idk

unkempt egret
supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

But like this is basically the same fucking stats as Stone Edge

unkempt egret
#

got the "hyper training!" event in the wave 160-170 range and somehow KO'ed enam to get contrary unlocked

sweet crypt
#

And at least Stone Edge doesn't have competition

#

Why do you ever run Springtide Storm over Moonblast?

#

So that you can miss both opponents at the same time?

#

And then run out of PP?

unkempt egret
#

I was gonna say "because turtle form misses contrary" but you said moonblast rofl

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

No, get that garbage off my moveslot

unkempt egret
#

in moonblast's case yea basically

unkempt egret
#

ah

sweet crypt
#

Except even with Enamorus it's garbo

unkempt egret
#

thought enam again since I also ran into that issue on enam

sweet crypt
#

Genuinely just use Moonblast

supple basalt
#

Hello Regi

unkempt egret
#

at least if you bonk up and make her go turtle you can just undo that a wave later

sweet crypt
#

Springtide may technically target both opponents but it really just targets neither

sweet crypt
#

Ooh, this is probably a run where Multi Lens doesn't actively sabotage me

unkempt egret
#

the only situations I can think of are 3x wide lens (so you're trading 5 base power for 5 base accuracy - not a good exchange) or rain teams (which begs the question, why are you using enam on a rain team)

sweet crypt
#

I sure do love doing 3 bars to Mega Rayquaza instead of 4 and suddenly being at risk of getting swept

supple basalt
#

Eww it's -atk get that shit away from me

unkempt egret
#

and then rayquaza also missed because lol hurrcane

#

"I wouldn't have minded it but he missed!"
"so anyway..."

sweet crypt
#

Multi Lens is just a fraud item in Classic if you aren't running a stat boosting move or a flinching move

unkempt egret
#

if you do put it on something with those attributes tho (lunrantis rofl) then it does go hard but yea it's pretty niche

sweet crypt
#

Tbh it's been a fraud item since even before its rework

#

In Classic I mean

#

In Endless I heard it went crazy

unkempt egret
#

usually if I get it, it's usually just slapped on whatever has mud slap that's intended to blow itself up on etern for the -accuracy

sweet crypt
#

But it was even worse in Classic before the rework than it is now

#

Because you're straight up losing damage even ignoring boss bars

unkempt egret
#

trying to think of an item that'd be a worse pick if you weren't building for it outside of a bad mint in a soul dew run

unkempt egret
#

that might just be me since I'm almost always happy to get DNA splicers rofl

#

my other guess would be lures but those only have a chance of messing you up

sweet crypt
#

Every time I get DNA Splicers, I look at my team, go "OK, so basically I'm ruining the run if I use this" and pick something else

unkempt egret
#

meanwhile for me I usually just pick two of the shiny sticks and go "I now pronounce you +6 luck and a free team slot"

sweet crypt
#

It's only use is for shiny stacking in Endless and creating the ultimate Stallmon

#

I see like 1 Shiny every like 15 Classic runs

unkempt egret
#

or I was banking on it resulting in crap like golurk/delcatty with entrainment normalize rofl

sweet crypt
#

I'm NOT shiny stacking for shit at all

unkempt egret
#

yea shiny charm is very much a tease outside of endless

#

especially since the last two classic mode shinies I found were charmless

sweet crypt
#

I also don't really ever have a Pokemon whose only purpose is to be Shiny

unkempt egret
#

my team comp is usually carry, backup carry, dugtrio/araquanid/eldegoss/rapidash for the +12 luck rofl

sweet crypt
#

Tapu Fini, which I always bring to guarantee a won run if the main carry ends up being garbage, cannot afford to be fused whatsoever

unkempt egret
#

with the last four usually being thrown out of the blimp starting at about wave 150 or so whenever I find something medalless in the wild

sweet crypt
#

Linoone needs to retain Pickup (main ability), Ambipom needs to retain Pickup (main ability), Sableye needs to retain Prankster (main ability) and the Ghost type

#

And my 6th slot is a backup carry for matchups the Main Carry and Fini may struggle in

#

And thus also can't afford to be fused

#

Nobody is compatible at all

unkempt egret
#

so it's usually dash/duggs since rapid wants magic guard and cares little for its actual ability

sweet crypt
#

Nobody here is compatible at all

#

I repeated myself because I forgot I typed the same message 10 seconds ago, am I cooked?

unkempt egret
#

"teach the rapidash how to duggy" and you're fine on that since it's more elaborating on the point

sweet crypt
#

I guess if I was really minmaxing

#

Uhh

#

Does Sableye pass on the Ghost type with Prankster?

unkempt egret
#

actually you say pickup I should see gourgeist's cost

#

since I can now use that too in place of eldegoss which contributes sappy seed and basically nothing else

sweet crypt
#

OK it does

#

So I could run like

#

Sableye

#

And then a Pokemon with Pickup as the passive

#

And then those would be compatible for fusion

#

Since I keep Pickup and Prankster and the Ghost type

unkempt egret
#

shame I don't have gourgeist's rare move which is... sappy seed.

sweet crypt
#

But then what even goes in the free slot? It's not like I even need anything else to win

#

Another Pickup mon?

supple basalt
#

I love when all the berries I've stolen activate at the same time XD

unkempt egret
#

its a good feeling

supple basalt
#

Wait what the fuck? Why is Floaty Fall suddenly Fly

#

Last time I used Gligar, Fly was Floaty Fall

broken temple
#

gligar was too good

#

😭

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

Okay I have a legit question now. How does Endless work? After about 20 floors the pokemon are 10 levels above me. Is there seriously no way to keep up with the levels of the encounters?

supple basalt
#

I have no want to use it now because I hate using 2 turn moves

terse pollen
#

extremeley loud incorrect buzzer

sleek steppe
#

Guys is there a way to shiny hunt darkrai and shamin in normal pokemon games without the items in bd & sp

unkempt egret
supple basalt
#

That's stupid =_=

unkempt egret
#

make sure you still keep 3-4 of your starting team though, including your carry. breaking past the 250 barrier is rough though

supple basalt
#

Even my carriers get outleveled no matter who it is

#

I literally can't keep up

sweet crypt
#

Since Gliscor's not exactly an offensive threat

#

You'd think that massive pincers and a stinging tail would equal to good attack but it's only 95

supple basalt
#

I'm not using it for endless lol

#

I just showed to complain about Floaty Fall changing XD

halcyon skiff
#

finally going for the shiny living dex

supple basalt
#

Why the hell do I have these shinies where did I get them LOL

halcyon skiff
#

well i was just wandering around waiting and i found a shiny rufflet- LOL

supple basalt
#

All my foreign dittos are shiny lmao

I think my friend gave them to me and I don't need 3 so you can have one. Free.

halcyon skiff
#

oh seriously? you're a legend

main rune
#

My breeder ditto is a shiny foreign 6 IV ditto that I got from a wonder trade over a decade ago. 100% chance it’s hacked in and I don’t give a fuck huehue

supple basalt
#

Oh NIC

#

*NICE

halcyon skiff
supple basalt
#

Nacli go away

main rune
#

I use it for my IV breeding and my masuda method Quagless

halcyon skiff
#

literally the first one was a hacked shiny

halcyon skiff
#

im just tryna get my mesuda shinies

#

cuz i am NOT getting the starters with the base shiny charm odds 🥀

supple basalt
main rune
#

So I was breeding a Mudkip for a 6 IV one, didn’t give a shit about shiny because I have like 6 shiny mudkips and ended up hatching a shiny with 5 perfect IVs heehee

halcyon skiff
#

oh damnnn

supple basalt
#

DAMN

halcyon skiff
supple basalt
#

Yep!

main rune
#

I’d recommend taking that to DMs so that nobody tries to fuck with y’all happo

halcyon skiff
#

yeee i was boutta say

supple basalt
#

I should also start playing s/v again

halcyon skiff
#

reall

#

woo! now to start hunting the starters !

supple basalt
halcyon skiff
#

whoops i think my other 2 are still in home- 😭

supple basalt
#

Me: I should legit play this game again
Also me: Flies to academy to run around as my pokemon

supple basalt
halcyon skiff
#

LMAO real

halcyon skiff
#

imma see just how many eggs this takes

#

imma just hatch the other ones first

supple basalt
#

I remember shiny hunting Hisui Zorua using Masuda. 100 eggs in I said fuck it and found one in Legends instead

#

In under an hour I found two

main rune
#

Legends Arceus is so much easier to shiny hunt in

supple basalt
#

TRUTH

halcyon skiff
#

it really is

#

sadly cannot find the paldea starters in it

supple basalt
#

And the chances just go up passively as you use the mon

wild ore
#

Ong

halcyon skiff
#

otherwise i'd be hunting there

supple basalt
#

Running around as a Cheeto Lycanroc who got dyed blue for fun

halcyon skiff
#

LMFAO

#

poor lycanroc

supple basalt
#

I love all three lycanroc shinies are blue

halcyon skiff
#

its so cool !

supple basalt
#

My only gripe about the synchro machine is you can only use it at the blueberry academy

halcyon skiff
#

yeah it's really sadd

#

like

#

i want to fly around paldea as rayquaza

supple basalt
#

Let me roam area zero as walking wake

halcyon skiff
#

or that

supple basalt
#

YEAH LEMME BE RAY

halcyon skiff
#

EXACTLY

#

any guesses on how many eggs its gonna take to get a shiny fuecoco?

supple basalt
#

Exactly 500

#

XD

halcyon skiff
#

oh god i hope not

supple basalt
#

At least there are sammiches to speed up hatching

halcyon skiff
#

indeed

#

and breeding

#

i think

#

unless im stupid and dont know how egg power works

supple basalt
#

Sammiches give egg power I believe

halcyon skiff
#

mmm samich

supple basalt
#

Running around all the biomes assaulting all the wild pokemon as a dinosaur

halcyon skiff
#

incredible

supple basalt
#

Anyway imma eat lunch and watch a movie. Laterrrr

unkempt egret
#

from what I recall the PB&J line gives egg power and is reasonably cheap to make

halcyon skiff
#

enjoyyy

sleek steppe
#

Does anyone have oaks letter and member card they can trade I wanna shiny hunt darkrai and shamin

#

It does it not work like that

supple basalt
#

Event items can't be traded

sleek steppe
#

🫩

supple basalt
#

I believe they count as key items

sleek steppe
#

How do you shiny hunt them 2 bc I want them so much 😅

supple basalt
#

Soft reset in games before the shiny lock.

#

XD

sleek steppe
supple basalt
#

Idk it's been awhile

sleek steppe
#

I don’t have a 3ds so shining pearl and brilliant diamond are the only ones technically with them in

#

That’s shiny huntable

supple basalt
#

Ahh gotcha

#

I'd trade you mine if I could but since they're key items there's not much I can do

sleek steppe
#

That’s so annoying bc I had the games when it was out but never got it

#

What games on a 3ds even have darkrai bc I thought pearl and diamond also was also a limited hunt

main rune
#

Diamond/pearl/platinum can all be played on 3DS but you can cheat in the event items

sleek steppe
main rune
#

A modded 3DS or action replay

sleek steppe
#

Can u mod the items in on sp and bd

main rune
#

You could technically just cheat in the shinies but that’s not as rewarding

main rune
sleek steppe
#

This is such a pain

main rune
#

BDSP is on the switch so it’s a lot harder to cheat and mod

sleek steppe
#

I wish there was a way for me to get them but I think the only way is trading for the shiny itself

#

But that means having shinies people want

#

But I’m a beginner hunter

main rune
#

Yea, you either need to have the event item for BDSP or cheat in the event item in dppt

#

I don’t remember if I have a shiny Darkrai personally

#

I think I do

#

Actually he’s not in diamond/pearl it looks like so you’d need platinum

main rune
unkempt egret
#

from what I recall BDSP doesn't lock the starters though

#

SR'ing in gen 7 though is agony since from what I recall there's a solid 3-5 minutes before you can even check for nature rofl

#

yea darkrai isn't too tricky to obtain shiny since it's a raid boss in GO at least (same with Genesect and I think hoopa? I forget if hoopa's shiny is out)

supple basalt
#

I think I have a shaymin and a darkrai from events

#

Shiny I mean

So do you guys remember that really mid Pokémon puzzle game Pokémon Friends? Well, apparently it was an asset flip of another game made by the same developer called Think Think. If you just want to see the part of the video where the game being an asset flip is discussed, the time stamp is 23:00

sleek steppe

I delete them

Bc I want them all to be proper shinies

supple basalt
#

Back when it was wonder trade you don't know if they're hacked because they didn't have website names or OTs

sleek steppe
#

Bc like I can’t get him

#

I just got a shiny alpha houndoom

supple basalt
#

Nice! I've never found a shiny alpha

sleek steppe

I'm done going for a specific pokemon so I'll just choose something when I travel to the map

sleek steppe

I want a hisui zuroak

supple basalt

I'll check momentarily

sleek steppe
#

Do u got charm?

supple basalt
#

yes

modern oar
#

I have yet to try getting a shiny Eevee in Legends Arceus.

sleek steppe
modern oar
#

I don't have an Eevee for the breeding in Scarlet and Violet, but I could try getting a shiny Eevee in there without it.

#

(If I wanted to lose my sanity)

supple basalt
#

Eevee's easy to get in S/V as its spawn is pretty set

sleek steppe
#

I just breed a vaporeon

modern oar
#

I just have bad luck with finding Eevees, which is why I don't try hunting for one with sandwiches.(And also the fact that I do not like the tera raids and only have a switch 1 to shiny hunt on)

sleek steppe
#

And breed it

modern oar
#

Static Sylveon?

sleek steppe
#

These a static spawning sylveon

modern oar
#

I am able to find Eevees, it just takes a bit longer for me to find them than it does for other people.

sleek steppe
#

Ohhhhh

modern oar
#

I actually do need to beat the game and its DLC again though.

sleek steppe
#

I have the dlc for violet but I play scarlet

modern oar
#

Because I reset my save a few times.

sleek steppe
#

I bought the wrong one

modern oar
#

Oh, that's not great.

sleek steppe
#

I have violet and I’m glad but I just don’t play it lol scarlet is just better for me

modern oar
#

I have played the full game and DLC of Scarlet twice.

sleek steppe
#

God damn

modern oar
#

I beat it as a normal playthrough once and then beat it again with only Eeveelutions.

sleek steppe
#

I haven’t beat the dlc once

#

Have u gotten the shiny mythic from getting all the dex in pokemon home

modern oar
#

Nope.

sleek steppe
#

I’m currently on the grind for it

modern oar
#

I have only played a few Pokemon games and don't have the correct ones to complete the dex.

sleek steppe
#

I just ask my friend for the exclusive bc she has all the games except both the legends

supple basalt
#

If you still have a 3DS, have Bank installed on it and have the nessecary game cartriges, you can transfer from Bank to Home

#

You can't put Bank on a 3DS anymore, it has to be on there already

Question: is there a way to get the other starters in za like how in arceus you could find them in time space distortion

#

If not is there anyone with an extra chikorita and/or tepig they'd be willing to trade me

sleek steppe
#

Guys is masudo method or outbreak method better with 60 kills in scarlet and violet

Idk how to get herba mystica for level 3 sandwich’s

smoky gyro
#

How does synchronize work with Toxic poison?

#

If you toxic it do you get normal poison or toxic poison in return

#

Does anyone know

indigo venture
smoky gyro
#

It didnt matter in this context cause it was a gliscor which has toxic heal anyways

#

I just got curious

sweet crypt
#

Also, Gliscor gaming

smoky gyro
#

Gliscor gaming except Psychic crit turn 1

#

And I melted

#

Lmao

sweet crypt
#

Unfortunate

smoky gyro
#

From a Mew

#

That was the Synchronize mon

sweet crypt
#

Was it like Nasty Plot or something

#

Can it even get NP in RandBats this gen?

#

I usually see it being Hazards nowadays it feels

smoky gyro
#

Turn 1, I click toxic, he click psychic

#

Crit, ded

#

It can though

#

It has like a physical set a special set and a harzards set

sweet crypt
#

LO or nah?

smoky gyro
#

Lo what

sweet crypt
#

Either ways crit probably mattered

sweet crypt
smoky gyro

I forgor

Forfeited after that cause I couldnt be bothered

lavish dune

love how broken double battles are in rogue

this claydol just used hyper beam on their friendly macargo

sweet crypt
lavish dune
#

bro looks like one of them gum hay bales

#

i can never tell if one of these fuckers are shiny until their hp shows up

supple basalt
#

Should I replace triple axle with shadow claw for spontaneous ghost type?

lavish dune
#

what are your other moves?

sweet crypt
#

Pretty obvious if you know what you're looking for

lavish dune
#

oh ok, thanks

sweet crypt
#

Since Triple Axel hits hard

#

And Shadow Claw doesn't

supple basalt
#

It does I was more thinking Protean use

sweet crypt
#

STAB Taxel is nice though

supple basalt
#

And I am not ditching Leafage (It's not powerful but it gives grass stab even though everything is stab with Protean lol)

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

I'll keep triple axel then :X Prolly teach shadow claw to riolu who ALSO doesn't need it since he has his passive

sweet crypt
#

Otherwise yeah may as well keep it

supple basalt
#

Idk what starter he has

rugged comet
sweet crypt
#

Hit the 70% for 120 BP

#

... Hey, that sounds familiar...

supple basalt
#

Yeah. I'd overwritten triple axel with play rough cause I liked Fire Lash too much to give it up but Greninja filled the Ice move role

#

On my last playthrough

sweet crypt
#

Idk though Taxel's ~70% feels like a lot higher than Focus Blast or Hurricane's 70%

#

Somehow all of these feel more accurate than Play Rough's 90%, Zen Headbutt's 90% or Springtide Storm's 80%

supple basalt
#

If I can get a Wide Lens for Meowscarada it works pretty reliably

sweet crypt
#

Rng is a very interesting thing

supple basalt
#

He does have a water stater. A Piplup lol.

sweet crypt
#

I swear the 90% in Play Rough's accuracy refers to the miss chance

"if it ain't 100% it's 50%"
"more like if it ain't 100% then I don't trust it"

lavish dune
#

if it aint 100 im suspicious when i use it

supple basalt
#

Play Rough hits 9.5 times/10

#

I would use a 100% accurate move in its place but a dark type becoming a fucking fairy type is SO good

rugged comet
#

Anything becoming fairy is typically pretty good

supple basalt
#

True lol

unkempt egret
#

at least in pokerogue you can just grab two wide lenses and not worry about that

supple basalt
#

I feel bad I quickly regretted my choice of sending Popplio out against a paldea tauros and had to use my poor zigzagoon to safely switch into Sprig lol

unkempt egret
#

actually I forget if pokerogue has the dumb thing that vanilla does where wide lens can't raise a move's accuracy up to 100%, only 99%

#

(interestingly, zoom lens is not subject to that rule and can make a move 100% accurate, provided it has at least 85% accuracy and you move second)

supple basalt
#

Idk

#

Yeah Zoom Lens would do nothing for my cat lol

unkempt egret
#

I don't think zoom lens is in pokerogue either

#

probably because "going second" is generally not something you want to be doing in this game

supple basalt
#

Finn gave me two shiny charms... watch me find no shinies

#

EUGH I have Team Skull as my evil team... I'll try anyway

sweet crypt
#

I'm like 99% sure that 95% accurate moves will be perfectly accurate with it

#

Just that no other move becomes 100% accurate with it

#

Because it boosts the accuracy of moves by 10%, and 10% of 90 is 9

#

Pokerogue raises it by a flat 5%

#

Not 5% of the move's accuracy, just 5

#

And it can go to 100%

sweet crypt
#

Yes, First Impression is an egg move of Buzzwole

unkempt egret
#

yea I did notice that wording change in pokerogue so it probably can raise it to 100% in pokerogue

supple basalt
#

Riolu finally evolving. He usually evolves around level 20 so level 34 is annoying

sweet crypt
#

And I don't think I've ever seen Guzma drop that specific egg move on it

unkempt egret
#

while vanilla caps it at 99% which is only relevant if you use it with moves at 95% accuracy

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

His fucking genesect outspeeds and walls me

i hope i get a shiny legend this run

blue dewpider is already a huge W tho

I like pink primarina

"Trickster wants to learn Night Slash"

Me: Looks at Wicked Blow Nah

sweet crypt
#

Showdown doesn't cap it at 99%

unkempt egret
#

I still need to check in-game but I remember reading on bulb that it capped at 99%

#

actually that's easy to check in-game one moment to try it in scarlet

#

I don't see it on there now

#

could be like that "eviolite nerf" thing that got so pervasive with IF but turned out to be incorrect

supple basalt
#

Okay so Lucario's moveset is currently

  • Blaze Kick
  • Metal Claw
  • Shadow Claw
  • Thunderus Kick

I plan on ditching Metal Claw for Meteor Mash and Shadow Claw for E Speed. So I should pass on Swords Dance right?

unkempt egret
#

which I assume was because people didn't like that the actual eviolite nerf was to just move it farther into the game rofl

supple basalt
#

I can replace Shadow Claw with SD since, again, he doesn't need it. Shoulda seen me kick a fucking spiritomb out of existence XD

#

WITH Thundurus Kick. It felt so nice

unkempt egret
#

"brute bonnet used spore" ah yes I see an issue with this test

sweet crypt
#

I usually like having Swords Dance

#

Because I love having the power to fucking blow up anything that doesn't resist my STABs

supple basalt
#

Yeah I went ahead and threw away Shadow Claw for it and I might sack Blaze Kick for E-Speed

#

Hello adamant nature Metang welcome to the team

unkempt egret
#

that's two raids without fury cutter missing so I may have either been misled by a wiki vandal or mistook what happened with 90% moves as also happening to 95% onces since even google isn't saying anything about it

#

now I'm more confused on if fury cutter still keeps its boost after you hit yourself in confusion

besides the nature, im pretty sure thats a DAMN good guzzlord

ive been doing double battles all run for max shiny chances, all hail the triple lure

That's prolly perfect for guzzlord actually as it has no defenses

#

2 shinies and 2 legendaries for this run at wave 90, i think its going well!

supple basalt

It's mixed attack and sp atk

supple basalt
lavish dune
#

i also have S+ luck

#

thats why iron moth is here, i generally dont reuse pokemon ive already beaten classic with

#

reckon endless has the shiny chances too?

supple basalt
#

I try not to. I'm using Meowscarada because it helps me but everyone else I haven't beaten classic with

supple basalt
#

On Endless

lavish dune
#

dont suppose it matters, endless doesnt have ivy so no shiny charms

#

just makes more sense to grind classic runs for shinies

#

also apparently lunatone gets revelation dance, so i get a 90 power stab special rock type move

#

e

#

pretty pog

supple basalt
#

Lol I have item boosters for 3/4 of Meowscarada's stabs lol. She has charcoal, miracle seed, and black glasses. All she needs is a Fairy Feather XD

im surprised gems and alike arent in the game

I hate how events where you find more than one item such as the berry bush don't ACTUALLY give you multiple items. You have to choose one

Anyways, hosting a draft league, I have 0 clue how someone managed to get away with this but they did

Oh okay

Okay I just stuffed berries down a Fearow's throat and it joined my team. Jolly, Hidden Ability, and I'm 90% sure it has two egg moves (Floaty Fall and Triple Arrows)

Why would you ever leave a Flying type in on an Electric type

#

I dont understand

supple basalt
#

Pfft

#

Oh I'm on E4

sweet crypt
#

Which one

supple basalt
#

Level 182. Currently fighting Hala

sweet crypt
#

So basically, you can't confirm the Champion

#

That's

supple basalt
#

It's probably Hau

sweet crypt
#

A wee bit annoying

#

OK, Hau leads with A-Raichu and Kukui leads with Lycanroc

#

So leading with a Ground type would be preferable

#

Actually, Meowscarada no diffs both

#

Nvm we win these

supple basalt
#

I wish I hadn't switched out. Hala was stupid and tera fighting his fire cat in front of an already fairy type cat

lavish dune
#

who cut off chespin's head

supple basalt
#

Pfft

lavish dune
#

my team is so fancy

supple basalt
#

Hala sends in Inceneroar to deny my Zen Headbutt any effectivess. I decide not to switch out because I already knew he was gonna tera fighting XD

#

Mega Metagross fucking one-shot it

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

RIGHT?

lavish dune
#

triple S luck for the first time too

sweet crypt
#

My only regret for Metagross is that to have a move that isn't absolutely wack, you need the TM for Psychic Fangs

supple basalt
#

Mega Metagross essentially sweeping his team.

lavish dune
#

gonna shovel rare candies into it until its caught up

sweet crypt
#

Who tf made Zen Headbutt 90% accurate

supple basalt
#

I used Primarina for his first mon (Hariyama) because I had nobody else to take a heat crash to the face

sweet crypt
#

Like actually who decided to make Zen Headbutt 80 BP and not even be fully accurate for it

#

And with a not even good flinch rate

supple basalt
#

I have not missed a single zen headbutt this whole battle

sweet crypt
#

And then they made an actually good physical Psychic move and gave it to like 30% of the Pokemon that needed one

supple basalt
#

The only one that didn't work was the one he switched Inceneroar in on

lavish dune
#

the zennest headbutt

sweet crypt
#

Thanks Gamefreak

lavish dune
#

does this count as another legend?

sweet crypt
lavish dune
#

aw

#

just uncommon i suppose

sweet crypt
#

Rotom was never a legendary, if it was I'd laugh at it daily

supple basalt
#

Luxray is a legend in all our hearts

sweet crypt
#

Not because it's bad

#

It's actually quite good

#

But because it only has 520 BST

#

Which is hilariously low

supple basalt
#

(Just wish he had a better non-recoil electric move)

sweet crypt
#

Well, for a Legendary

#

For a normal Pokemon it's more than sufficient

#

And you can clearly see that in the performances of Heatom and especially Washtom

#

Unironically stronger than most legendaries

supple basalt
#

Sends in probopass on a revelation dance. Loses 2/3 of its HP but gains some baby health by sitrus berry. Tera rocks infront of a fucking water revelation dance

lavish dune
#

just get in the ball bruh i aint dealing with you

supple basalt
#

The rev dance was water which made it funnier

#

Primarina would sweep if she had a sitrus berry. I'll prolly rev her with Pawmot

#

Oh it's not Hau it's Kukui

#

BURNING DUSK LYCANROC IS HUGE

#

Who in their right mind gave Rayquaza Oblivion Wing. He's never had that before

#

Yay he ran out of PP for it lol

sweet crypt
#

Personally though, I don't use it

#

Because I usually run Ddance anyways

supple basalt
#

Finn has never used it before lol

sweet crypt
#

And can be any level up, TM or (Pokerogue) Egg Move

supple basalt
#

Gotcha

sweet crypt
#

If the game hates you, you'll have to fight Geeta's Rising Voltage Miraidon

#

Which if I'm being honest is probably an instawipe for you

supple basalt
#

Also I got mega Lucario directly before eternatus

sweet crypt
#

That Miraidon's a fucking menace even without Rising Voltage

supple basalt
#

Autocorrect that wasn't even a word why did you autocorrect to whatever the shit that was

sweet crypt
#

I genuinely don't know how to beat Miraidon on an early-mid game save

#

I just use my OP max unlock shit and kill it dead

#

It also gets Frost Breath

#

Which is the 2nd major move it gets

#

The others aren't as terrifying, just Spacial Rend and Clangorous Soul

#

Clangorous Soul can be punished, and Spacial Rend isn't as absurd of an upgrade as Edrift->Rising Voltage

#

Thankfully, Eternatus has a set moveset

#

It has Eternabeam, Sludge Bomb, Flamethrower and Cosmic Power in base

#

As Eternamax, it has Dynamax Cannon, Cross Poison, Flamethrower and exactly 1 use of Recover

#

Iirc it also used to keep Cosmic Power

#

But I haven't seen it in ages

#

Yes, that is 5 moves

lavish dune
#

leech life out here turning psychic and dark types into juice boxes

sweet crypt
#

I dont usually find myself running Leech Life on Araquanid, I usually just run all 4 Egg Moves

#

With the logic being "Bro I don't fucking need coverage I have Water Bubble Tinted Lens"

#

And Silk Trap is nice for Double Battles if you can't OHKO both Pokemon quickly enough and they actually can hurt Araquanid

supple basalt
#

I'm not even going to finish this eternatus battle. He's not even max form and half my team is already dead

sweet crypt
#

Not very nice for making it faster than things though

lavish dune
#

legendary egg from the shiny machine, heres to hopin

sweet crypt
#

Araquanid is so slow that I barely find myself outspeeding stuff even with +1 from Aqua Step and with the opponent at -1 from Silk Trap

#

Thankfully, Jet Punch

sweet crypt
#

Mb

#

Spamming +2 Jet Punch on Araquanid is so funny

supple basalt
#

Well I'll try. I restarted it lol

sweet crypt
#

Eternatus is a weird guy

#

Because with the wrong Pokemon it may be impossible

#

But with the right Pokemon, you wouldn't be able to lose if you tried

#

Genuinely I think it'd take more effort to lose vs Eternatus with Lugia especially than it would take to win

#

And most Calm Minders do the same, to lesser extents

supple basalt
#

I WON

sweet crypt
#

Eternatus' tiny brain usually can't comprehend using Cross Poison and even if it can Cross Poison's a weak move and Eternatus' attack isn't absurdly crazy

supple basalt
#

OMG I ACTUALLY WON

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

Mega Lucario
Mega Metagross (That find came in CLUTCH)
Porygon-Z
Meowscarada
Primarina
Pawmot

#

Cannot believe Pawmot tanked an eterna beam and was able to revive Metagross lol

#

That rat's built different

supple basalt
#

The Moonblast helped a lot

sweet crypt
#

The number of times it has used a Dragon move vs a Fairy Type or a Poison move vs a Steel type for me is staggering

supple basalt
#

It does for Flamethrower KarmaDoesntCare

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

AHH Gotcha

sweet crypt
#

Base Eternatus does actually usually use its best move

#

In fact, it even takes Misty Terrain reducing Dragon damage into account

supple basalt
#

I love how he ignored Meowscarada and focused on everyone else I sent out and then went "Oh shit this cat's doing a lot of damage I should kill it" a little too late XD

sweet crypt
#

Target the wrong Pokemon and lose as a result

supple basalt
#

Metagross helped but finding adaptability porygon z was really good

sweet crypt
#

Eternamax's AI may be the most flawed out of any major battle

#

Anyways, random question!

supple basalt
#

Oh?

sweet crypt
#

What is the 19th type concept that you think is the best?

#

Stellar does not count as a type because it sucks ass

#

I think Tera Stellar's only used more than Tera Psychic for Tera Types

supple basalt
#

Hmm SevenThonk

I don't know honestly

supple basalt
sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

Light type so I can have the true kingdom hearts experience /j

sweet crypt
#

And I guess it's like

sweet crypt
#

A secondary option for Contrary mons

#

But not even a primary one

#

I feel like you're more likely to see Fire or Rock on Serperior, for example

supple basalt
#

I feel like it's good for the same reason Protean is good. Spontaneously changing your type to f up your opponent. Which makes Stellar type worse in comparison

sweet crypt
#

Anyways, I think Light would be the best candidate

#

BY that

#

I mean Lunala's Psychic Type is ass

#

And it pisses me off

#

So I want it gone

#

Also, it nerfs the Fairy type

#

Because now it no longer has a Spread move

#

L bozo

#

Changes could include stuff like making Dgleam, Light Screen, Reflect etc Light type

supple basalt
#

Yessss

sweet crypt
#

As well as some signature moves like Photon Geyser/Prismatic Laser, Luster Purge/Mist Ball and Lumina Crash

#

And changing their respective user's types

#

Woah, look at that, I removed Latios' major drawback type at the same time

#

I'm really just doing all these Pokemon a favour

#

Espathra can be Psychic/Light since it does have esper in its name

#

And also, that way it can keep Stored Power shenanigans

supple basalt
#

Do you think they'll actually make new types? Like anymore than Fairy

supple basalt
#

Stellar doesn't count I agree

sweet crypt
#

That said, there was a 4 generation gap between Steel+Dark and Fairy

#

So it isn't entirely impossible

supple basalt
#

I really think since they changed the typings when they made Fairy there are mons that deserve a type change

#

Give Luxray the dark type it deserves

sweet crypt
#

Luxray doesn't fit the Dark type apart from looking edgy imo

supple basalt
#

He gets a lot of dark type moves

sweet crypt
#

However, Cresselia and Musharna should've been Psychic/Fairy

supple basalt
#

Cresselia really should have been fairy

sweet crypt
#

The moon is extremely heavily linked to the Fairy type in Pokemon

supple basalt
#

CONSIDERING IT CAN LEARN FUCKING MOONBLAST

sweet crypt
#

I dont think either should lose their Psychic types

#

Since that represents dreams

#

But they should have both

supple basalt
#

Maybe they changed it because there are like 5 other psychic/fairies

sweet crypt
#

Speaking of Fairy being the Moon type, Lunala should be Ghost/Fairy

#

And I will never change my mind on this

supple basalt
#

Speaking of that. Galarian Rapidash should not have been part psychic

sweet crypt
#

Screw alchemy, screw light, make Lunala the MOONE Pokemon a Fairy Type

supple basalt
#

RIGHT?

sweet crypt
#

My GOAT deserves so much better than a type that only serves to make the Ghost type worse

#

Thankfully she's, as I mentioned, the GOAT, so she's good anyways

#

Tbh Psychic in general has fallen off the face of the earth

supple basalt
#

Lunala and Shadow Rider are both good pokemon but their typing gives them two 4x weaknesses

sweet crypt
#

I genuinely don't think there's a single situation where Psychic is in like, the top 3rd of types you want on a type combo

#

Whereas Bug and Grass probably have like 1-3

#

And Ice too

#

And Rock too

#

And all these other types people usually hail as the worst

supple basalt
#

Take flying away. Give Lugia the water type he deserves

sweet crypt
#

But no, Expanding Force makes Psychic Type amazing

#

Even though not every Psychic Type even has the move

supple basalt
lavish dune
#

a third charm has made itself known

supple basalt
#

PFFT

Including the first Psychic Type that ever had Psychic Surge

#

But tbf

Tapu Lele with Expanding Force

Downright evil

sweet crypt
#

The world would collapse in on itself

#

And I have proven that by doing a Tapu Lele run in Pokerogue

#

Do more pokemon get Geomancy in rouge?

sweet crypt
#

Lele, as I mentioned

supple basalt
#

*Tapu

sweet crypt
#

As well as Dusk Mane Necrozma

#

I imagine a lot of the hard hitting Psychic and Ground types could also do it with enough setup

#

(And Dragons but good fucking let setting one up)

#

(Unless it's Eternatus, which doesn't do enough damage to OHKO, but can still chunk 2-3 bars per turn)

#

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Psychic Tapu Lele Expanding Force (120 BP) vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Psychic Terrain: 328-386 (50.3 - 59.2%) -- 78.5% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

supple basalt
#

My problem is

sweet crypt
#

(Or yknow just use Psyshock but things can actually switch into that)

supple basalt
#

I have issues with things that limit me

#

Choice items are great but I hate getting locked into a move

sweet crypt
#

Choice Items don't exist

#

Not in Pokerogue at least

#

I'm just doing funny normal calcs with Eforce Lele

supple basalt
#

VERY useful fox

sweet crypt
#

Lele's one of the other Pokemon that runs both those moves normally

#

I mean, what other move would a Tapu Lele run?

#

Moonblast and then what?

supple basalt
#

Idk lol

sweet crypt
#

Exactly, it's only Focus Blast after that

#

That's the 4 usable moves on a Choiced Lele

#

And it's still enough because Lele hits like a mini-nuke with those Psychic Terrain boosted Psychic Moves

#

Unfortunately, like that fraud Mega Diancie with Mystical Fire, it fails to OHKO FerroGOAT with Focus Blast

#

(These are actually all extremely strong Pokemon I'm just hyperbolising things for fun)

#

It doesn't matter what Coverage moves you have, if you're a Fairy Type, all roads lead to 0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (105 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Lele: 272-324 (96.7 - 115.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

Except for the roads in Paldea

sweet crypt
#

Archie and Maxie are extremely obvious

#

Giovanni is, too

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

They should've given Giovanni Mewtwo Y though

sweet crypt
#

But I don't even think he has Giratina on an old version

#

He has like Darkrai or something

supple basalt
#

How can you even be on an old version

#

It's a website

sweet crypt
#

Uhh shit have they updated his team?

supple basalt
#

Idk I know the last time I fought him which was like last week he had Giratina

sweet crypt
#

Pokerogue tries its hardest to not give overlapping legendaries

#

I know for a fact that Cynthia has Giratina

supple basalt
#

OH

#

IT WAS HER

#

I forgot what Cyrus has then. Prolly Dialga

sweet crypt
#

It can be either

#

But never both

#

Cynthia's team is honestly on the easier side since she doesn't get anything absurd apart from like, Giratina and Mega Garchomp if you get unlucky enough for it to roll Ddance

#

Oh I think they updated Red's team

#

Not much though

#

The biggest thing I can see is that Lugia now always has Multiscale

#

He still has one of Mega Venusaur, Zard X or Blastoise

#

And all 3 can be problematic

supple basalt
#

Yeah Cynthia's easy

sweet crypt
#

Alder looks kinda terrifying

supple basalt
#

I remember on my last match with her (Eternatus wiped me in that run) my lead mon was Lucario and he thundurus kicked her spiritomb back spread across the land

sweet crypt
#

Can have Last Respects with Basculegion

#

Has Boss Volcarona

#

And Zekrom

supple basalt
#

I forget who Alder is

sweet crypt
#

Any trainer that can have Last Respects is immediately an extreme threat

sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

Ahh

#

I only remembered Iris lol

sweet crypt
#

Diantha has Xerneas lmao

#

Arguably even scarier is Mega Gardevoir

#

Now, I've never seen her actually do this

#

But in theory, this Mega Gardevoir can roll both No Retreat and Boomburst

#

Remember, Mega Gardevoir's base ability is Pixilate

#

And this is a boss

#

So basically my strategy for it is to never find out if it rolled either

#

And just OHKO it

#

Leon is one of the scarier champions

#

Dragapult, Zacian and Boss Gmax Zard

#

Then there's Geeta with her lead Boss Glimmora with Tera Shell to guarantee it'll get at least 1 layer of Toxic Spikes, her Tera Flying Supreme Overlord Kingambit and Miraidon

#

And Baxcalibur too, almost forgot

#

She also currently has one of the Kalos starters

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

Which means there's a good chance she gets a Mega Starter in the future

#

And all 3 of the Kalos Megas are, to put it lightly, absolutely fucking absurd

#

Which leaves her only Pokemon that doesn't make you want to flee in terror instantly is Espathra

#

Since it is always Opportunist and not Speed Boost

#

Nemona has a Koraidon

#

And more notably, she caught her Dudunsparce in a Master Ball

#

There's also currently plans to make all of the Stat Trainer's Pokemon into Bosses

#

Even as they are right now, these mfs are some of the toughest trainers there are

#

There's plans to force Gigas' ability to Normalise instead of Slow Start btw

supple basalt
#

Sorry for dellayed response I didn't think I'd have a ton of issues in a battle against my fire cat x.x I was getting him Intimidate

sweet crypt
#

Just so you know

supple basalt
sweet crypt
supple basalt
#

Meowstic beat her funnily enough

sweet crypt
#

The fun part about Meowstic is that

#

Dark Void is currently pre-nerf

#

And Male Meowstic has Prankster

#

Yeah uhh

supple basalt
#

I had a male meowstic

sweet crypt
#

It's pretty wild as a support mon

supple basalt
#

He was just my screens cat

#

Damnit I shoulda used him. Make an all cat team

sweet crypt
#

Thanks for giving me an amazing run idea

supple basalt
#

No prob XD

#

Btw what does it mean when I move has a letter in parenthesis

sweet crypt
#

Alright then...

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

Look at the Pokemon I'm seemingly selecting rn

supple basalt
#

Doggo run?

#

Also the diabolical moveset

sweet crypt
#

You have no idea how confused I was seeing a Dragapult in the starter screen at 7 cost in a shiny colour I do not have for it

supple basalt
#

XD

sweet crypt
#

This is specifically only happening for Gen 8 mons

#

I have 0 clue why they are all using the wrong sprites

#

You see that 8 cost Blue Shiny Zamazenta with a Nuzlocke ribbon?

#

That's actually my Blue Shiny Eternatus

supple basalt
#

PFFT

sweet crypt
#

I was just heading over to select Zeraora man

supple basalt
#

Okay but I want a Cheeto Zacian

sweet crypt
#

Gen 8 mons evidently include the Galarian and Hisuian mons

#

Why is Gen 8 so fucked up rn

#

Alright, so

supple basalt
#

Thanks for tera dragoninc your steel pokemon Raihan

sweet crypt
#

I think my only wincon is Mewtwo

supple basalt
sweet crypt
#

Idk how else I beat Eternatus

#

Chien-Pao and Zeraora, which I find better for the majority of the run, cannot solo Eternatus
