This thing outspeeds my entire team. How?!
sweet crypt
This thing outspeeds my entire team. How?!
Could be gaining its +2 boost in Speed
supple basalt
No it's defense
sweet crypt
No it's defense
Hmmm
May need to check if it has Swift Swim as a passive
Nope, Toxic Chain
Not entirely sure then
supple basalt
Only base 100 speed? My team should be outspeeding it. The only thing that shouldn't is the useless ass sandcastle that dies to a single water move making its ability arbitrary
supple basalt
My cat doesn't outspeed
sweet crypt
I know that for certain since it's the same as another Fighting Type Bird Starter, Blaziken
sweet crypt
My cat doesn't outspeed
That is strange
How many Carboses does it have?
The squid, I mean

That is real bizarre
supple basalt
It is. Maybe just a bug because I know for a fact it slaughtered Meow

Ampharos loses Ice Beam for Flamethrower
supple basalt
Casually chucks a few pokeballs

As I said, they're really cutting down on Boltbeamers
Honchkrow loses Tarrows for Cross Chop
Since Tarrows is usually a rare egg move

Sceptile loses Core Enforcer and Flamethrower for Clanging Scales and Secret Sword, nothing too outstanding
sweet crypt
Also they're updating pokerogue? I thought it was kind of abandoned
Nope, it is still being updated
terse pollen
Awesome
sweet crypt
What are boltbeamers
Boltbeam is the name used for Electric/Ice Coverage, which is famously extremely potent
They're cutting down on mons that have Boltbeam because they felt it made the game too monotonous and boring
Just the same shit over and over
sweet crypt
Chimchar loses Taxel for Ice Punch
Now, I know that sounds bad
But
Infernape does have Iron Fist
So it's only 120 to 91
Instead of 120 to 75
(Man Iron Fist is so wack)
Snorlax gets a full rework
Because as it turns out giving a Pokemon Extreme Speed and Slack Off when it also has extreme bulk and Belly Drum is, uhh
Stupid
Imagine Linoone but extremely bulky, able to heal itself and harder hitting
Serperior gets fully reworked
It now has Draco Meteor over Clanging Scales, a buff, and Burning Jealousy over Flamethrower, a nerf
unkempt egret
do you have the changelog on a page or somethin?
sweet crypt
More interestingly is the removal of Fleur Cannon and Make It Rain for physical moves, Leech Life and, importantly, Superpower
sweet crypt

Yes

More interestingly is the removal of Fleur Cannon and Make It Rain for physical ...
Anyways Lurantis is jobless now lmfao rip bozo

I'm curious since I kinda wanna read the changelog

Well I think I'm allowed to send the documentation here
unkempt egret
ah if it's something private-ish I don't mind a DM for it
sweet crypt
It isn't private, it's a public changelog
Anyways Scrafty lost Victory Dance
It's Scraftover
Also lost Protean
Which on one hand makes 0 sense
But on the other is also a pretty major hit to its viability
sweet crypt
Does gain Slack Off and Thunderous Kick though
Gunk Shot over Noxious Torque is whatever
Basically the same anyways
unkempt egret
wait hold up these changes are in my game RIGHT NOW
sweet crypt
wait hold up these changes are in my game **RIGHT NOW**
Some of them are

since two of spearow's moves I just started with rofl
sweet crypt
Others are merely projected changes
unkempt egret

Rufflet loses Bolt Beak for Drill Run
Massive move to lose
But also a massive one to gain
No Retreat is also notably moved to the Rare Egg Move Slot
Ground Coverage is always cool as hell
Volcarona did get a big nerf, losing Drought
Though its egg moves aren't too different
terse pollen
Why did they nerf Fearow man I just got it
supple basalt
I'm being so cheeky right now lol. When I've been playing for awhile on one device, my other one takes awhile to catch up so it's behind a few floors. Well I am not getting wiped to the floor 70 gym
*Floor 170

And also, based on how my Volcarona runs went, it probably didn't matter

Why did they nerf Fearow man I just got it
Idk if you could really call it a nerf
Losing Moxie and Espeed is sad
unkempt egret

But bro's a fucking Swords Dance Speed Booster now
unkempt egret
a choice ROFL
terse pollen
That's true
unkempt egret
a very silly choice but its other stuff is good as it is and that's a common move anyway
terse pollen
But I feel like it's not bulky enough to set up in a trainer battle
sweet crypt
I mean it has fucking Magic Guard Mind Blown it doesn't need anything else
sweet crypt
But I feel like it's not bulky enough to set up in a trainer battle
Not like it's hitting hard enough to snowball with Espeed either
sweet crypt
SD Speed Boost on paper gives it a better chance to snowball
unkempt egret
I think that's the only one that super stood out in terms of things

I just got past that and am in Goldenleaf lol
sweet crypt
And also Take Heart and Boomburst over Nasty Plot and Blue Flare
Fire Blast isn't too terribly far behind Blue Flare and Boomburst is leagues ahead of Hyper Voice
Combined with setting its own Sun, and I think that's an improvement
As for Take Heart vs Nasty Plot, this entirely comes down to playstyle
Though I personally prefer Take Heart
unkempt egret
I did see drought on that one
sweet crypt
Barbaracle loses Taxel for Ice Punch and Dire Claw for Meteor Mash
With the description of "Those who know"
What are they planning
rugged comet
my memory of these early chapters is a bit fuzzy
sweet crypt
||Are they gonna give the Mega Iron Fist?||
||I think that's what is being hinted at||
terse pollen
I do wonder what abilities the new megas will get
sweet crypt
Grubbin's Ice Beam is now the Rare instead of Thunderclap
unkempt egret
||I could see that since it became /fighting||
terse pollen
People are theorizing that ||mega starmie|| wil get huge power
sweet crypt
Makes sense since Ice Beam was better
sweet crypt
People are theorizing that ||mega starmie|| wil get huge power
It's 99.9% confirmed
sweet crypt
But imagine if it had 145 atk without huge power
Would be over 100 BST boost
And also weaker than 100 with Huge Power
Mareanie loses Sizzly Slide for Barb Barrage
... Hey, why did this Poison Type have a Burn inflicting move instead of a Poison one anyways?
It also loses Leech Seed for Flip Turn
Which would be more impactful in terms of competitive
But given the use Leech Seed has for Etern, here I'm not too sure
Stufful loses Taxel and Rage Fist for Ice Hammer and Crush Grip
Ice Hammer does lower your speed but it's fucking Bewear lmao
And Taxel isn't very thematic
Bewear already had Scrappy
Like as a Passive
So Rage Fist wasn't as important as it sounded
Crush Grip does have high max BP and is thematic
Though tbf Crush Grip is annoying in how it becomes weaker the lower your opponent's HP is
unkempt egret
yea if you don't OHKO then you're in a really bad spot
sweet crypt
Koko loses Bolt Strike for Zing Zap
Because they wanted to move Taxel to rare
And Bolt Strike is too strong for a common
And also removed Magical Torque for Play Rough because they don't want to overuse to Torque moves
Magearna loses Strength Sap for Recover
Strength Sap sounds so annoying on Mag
But man, so does Recover
So idk this is more so a sidegrade
Blace used to have Chloroblast in place of Energy Ball
It is about as broken as you'd expect
unkempt egret
I think the only thing I'd suggest would be a better ser-up move on eevee but I'm not sure what to give it there
sweet crypt
Chilly Reception also used to be Steel Beam but I'm gonna be real I never used Steel Beam anyways
unkempt egret
accupressure would be really funny but also the polar opposite of consistent
sweet crypt
Rolycoly gains Blazing Torque
sweet crypt
They did want to cut down on Torque moves
But they also didn't like Coalossal having Bitter Blade
unkempt egret
that one I can kinda see since carkoal is basically a minecart
sweet crypt
Because where is the blade and where is the bitter
unkempt egret
so having the car move at least makes some sense in that stage even if not so much on coalossal
sweet crypt
Also gains Burning Bulwark over Body Press and Recover over Bulk Up
In general they seem to be shifting it away from being a Bulk Up Sweeper
Falinks loses Combat Torque for Sacred Sword
And I quote
"Those who grow"
||... Are they planning on giving Mega Falinks Sharpness?||
Food for thought
Morpeko nerfs I already talked about
supple basalt
I took no damage. Agatha has been exploded
sweet crypt
Duraludon loses Tachyon Cutter and Recover for Thunderclap and Heat Wave
This might sound like a nerf
And that's because it is
Recover Archaludon with those moves sounds kinda fucking foul
unkempt egret
I kinda like for flavor since those two kinda felt random but I'm not sure about the combo of CC and bulk up
sweet crypt
Sandy Shocks receives the same move swaps as Vikavolt and Magnezone
Eternal Flower Floette loses Mind Blown for Mystical Fire
unkempt egret
my brain just had a thought: "swagger + opportunist combo to body yourself"
oh that's what was in that slot on EF
sweet crypt
In its place, Hisuian Electrode gains Mind Blown
unkempt egret
I think my endless run actually dropped Mind Blown for butterfree's hurricane ROFL
supple basalt
I did not expect Lance's dragonite to whip out the gigaton hammer
sweet crypt
Both have Magic Guard as a passive btw
sweet crypt
I did not expect Lance's dragonite to whip out the gigaton hammer
Yeah, Dnite just has that as an egg move

Blue don't complement me.
sweet crypt
That's all the noteworthy recent egg move changes
unkempt egret
real talk giving gourg's forms different passives was such a neat idea
sweet crypt
As for Passives, Blastoise loses Dauntless Shield as it was outcompeting the Mega
unkempt egret
since normally I'd never use Large but since it has well-baked body it does very well as a backup if need be
sweet crypt
Fearow was mentioned
The Gastly line loses Shadow Shield
Gastly and Haunter gain Prankster
rugged comet
going to need to make a 2nd shiny box soon
sweet crypt
Considering that they get Dark Void, I expect some to run Eviolite Haunter
Gengar gets Levitate
supple basalt
Blue almost got swept by Zoroark. Damn wanted it to happen. I did a nasty plot when he switches his Alakazam out
unkempt egret
while if you were going for it as your main you'd want adaptability (small) or seed sower (large)
dunno what use Illuminate has on the normal form though
sweet crypt
Gmax Gengar's ability got changed to Shadow Tag
And it gains Regenerator as a passive
unkempt egret
unless illuminate is a passive lure in which case you'd probably want that for endless

Major buff over Gluttony lmao

also back in soulsilver this team is probably fine to shoot over to Plat?
sweet crypt
Skipping stuff I mentioned, Froakie line regained Stakeout over Technician
sweet crypt
Because the line has a grand total of one (1) relevant Technician Boosted Move
Anyways, I OHKOd a switching in Golisopod with Hydro Steam
So safe to say, Stakeout is certainly doing its job amazingly
unkempt egret
losing geodude is thankfully irrelevant since platinum is also throwing over a geodude
sweet crypt
God I fucking love Stakeout
Such a fun ability
Gmax Duraludon gains Analytic as a base ability, and Filter as a passive
Probably guessing it's because fucking Unaware was too broken
That seems to be everything I haven't already mentioned
Upcoming changes could potentially include the likes of Zygarde 50% gaining Teraform Zero, though this isn't confirmed
unkempt egret
teraform zero is uuuh
assuming that just means it transforms at 100% HP instead of whatever it used to?
sweet crypt
teraform zero is uuuh
Stellar Terapagos' ability, the one with 700 BST
sweet crypt
assuming that just means it transforms at 100% HP instead of whatever it used to...
Nope
It's still 50%, with a 33% heal
But Zygarde, uhh
Gets Heal Order
Yeah, it'd take more effort to kill Zygarde than to have it live
unkempt egret
aaaah I see it just gets rid of field effects when it transforms
sweet crypt
aaaah I see it just gets rid of field effects when it transforms
No, when it switches in
Which tbh, is kinda meh
Since Zygarde is decently fast
So it'd likely activate before opposing Drizzles or Droughts
It's certainly more fitting when you enter the form via transforming
Like Terapagos does
So I'd rather see it on Zygod

Does anyone play pokemon go? There’s a discord quest for 200 max particles. Since the “Quests” is an official in-discord feature that you can check yourself, it’s a legit thing. Anyway, does anyone want my code for the 200 max particles? I don’t play pokemon go anymore.
The quest feature is also how I got the “touch grass” avatar decoration and the profile decoration, and the orbs profile badge

Yeah
Its so painfully obvious I used fuecoco the most
and have just been feeding rare candies to chespin
odd mason
chespin can learn aerial ace
sweet crypt
The best way to handle Classic, in my opinion, is to heavily focus on leveling 1 Pokemon, your "main carry" so to say, before considering on leveling others
odd mason
so feucoco
sweet crypt
Eventually, you'll get enough Exp Shares to get to a point where you don't need to worry too much about it, but for early game, having that one high leveled carry is better than multiple weaker ones
Since it can be pretty easy to fall behind in levels if you try to level multiple things at once
odd mason
yeah
sweet crypt
so feucoco
I've seen a lot of people swear by Skeledirge in Pokerogue
So it should work well
I myself have admittedly not used it much in Pokerogue
odd mason
I also just like feucocos look
I dont have scarlet and violet but he looks like the one id choose
lavish dune
my early game carry (when not using iron moth) is usually lunatone or turtinator. not much in the early game can stand against a single stage
sweet crypt
Iirc I still lack one egg move on Fuecoco
As well as Unaware
I really want Unaware on Skeledirge it'd be so nice for just ignoring the stat boosts of bosses
Most 1st stages can handle carrying early game until they evolve
With notable exceptions being Dreepy, Cosmog and Larvesta
These are notable since their evolutions are extremely strong Pokemon
So having to bring a secondary carry to even manage to use those Pokemon is kinda sucky

Typically you'll feel that way in the early game about all your non main carries
supple basalt
Sprig carries me early game because I've unlocked all egg moves, HA and Protean.

But for the early game I do feel like having a main carry is better regardless as you'll otherwise fall behind on levels on your entire team
And then you'll start losing Pokemon in battles
And then you'll fall behind even more

Otherwise you'd never have trouble with the game ever again
(Well, except for the sea, or badlands)
(Maybe the cave too)
sweet crypt
they should bring back double champion but _only_ if you have at least 2 lures c...
They really should, it was very funny
lavish dune
badlands not really, iron moths passive is levitate
sweet crypt
badlands not really, iron moths passive is levitate
Yeah but Sturdy mons are still common there
lavish dune
true true
unkempt egret
since if you have two lures you either made a horrible misclick or you're running a doubles build in which case yesss
sweet crypt
And some Rock types too
I enjoy the feeling of power when beating 2 champions at once
sweet crypt
Pokerogue can be pretty harsh when you're just starting out
Unless you just have stupid amounts of general game knowledge
sweet crypt
But the more you play, the easier it gets
supple basalt
Well I was able to reset for a male. Ig I'll breed for a shiny later
lavish dune
i went in with the type chart and a dream, only hit 25 my first run
sweet crypt
And not just from an experience perspective, but you unlock shit that makes you a lot more powerful

I dont think if i were to die from double edge that would be good
wild ore
Dude istg I could not get past ivy
lavish dune
see- a fearow becoming my carry. fearow just sraight shouldnt do that
wild ore
In the first trainer battle when I first started out💔
wild ore
Because I wasn’t focused on one pokemon to get exp and sweep her team I kept switching
lavish dune
i just grabbed a mudkip and said "fuck it we ball"
wild ore
lavish dune
pretty much how my oras runs go too tbf
odd mason
my mankey was 1 hp and i lowkey just barely survived an encounter because i used double edge too much
why did i just catch a black tauros?
is that normal ive not played any of the gen 9
sweet crypt
why did i just catch a black tauros?
P-Tauros does have big-ass stats
wild ore
It’s the paldean Tauros
sweet crypt
That's a regional form of Tauros
Mono Fighting Type, but it can be Fighting/Fire or Fighting/Water depending on the form
lavish dune
grass gym was easy, even for wormadam
sweet crypt
gang is a map good
Yes, allows you to choose which biome to go to
odd mason
lavish dune
why did i just catch a black tauros?
and THERES your single stage carry
sweet crypt
Different biomes have different spawns
That are usually pretty easy to guess based on the biome's name
You can also use it to steer yourself away from any biome that'll kick your ass
The Sea Biome in particular is extremely cruel for new players, you should never head towards the Beach that leads there
lavish dune
unfortunately i dont think im gonna get the chance to reach the labratory

I gave it to manman

guys should I teach revelation dance to manman or hope
On one hand, Fuecoco will get a better Fire move later, but on the other Mankey's a physical attacker
Hmm..
odd mason
ManMan is a fighting type its a fighting move
Soooooo i gave it to manman
how do eggs work in this game
sweet crypt
ManMan is a fighting type its a fighting move
It's the same type as the user's primary type
So on Fuecofo, it'd be a Fire move, on Mankey it'd be a Fighting move
And on uhhh
supple basalt
I have a fairly odd question. Where the everloving hell is Goldenleaf's pokemon center?
supple basalt
Catch more :)
lavish dune
common eggs were nothing short of underwhelming

Clian pulled up to fuecoco on a bad day

common eggs were nothing short of underwhelming
Egg moves?

What the fuckkk WHY IS IT NOT IN THE TOWN

Egg moves?
didnt check, not interested in using the lot of them whatsoever
odd mason
I need water type pokemon
sweet crypt
didnt check, not interested in using the lot of them whatsoever
Well of course you aren't if you don't know their egg moves
lavish dune
oshawatt got freeze-dry
supple basalt
didnt check, not interested in using the lot of them whatsoever
Game's a lot harder if you don't use egg moves
unkempt egret
aw heck yes
sweet crypt
aw heck yes
Oh neat I have that exact same shiny level on Hoopa
lavish dune
Game's a lot harder if you don't use egg moves
the lot of the pokemon.
supple basalt

unkempt egret
hmmm gonna just throw the perrserker onto the gourgeist hmmm yes grass/steel with fire im-

I remember Hoopa was my main carry on my Gen 6 run

wishiwashi worlds best pokemon
according to my friend
He's never played pokemon before
supple basalt
im not interested in using the lot of the pokemon i hatched, egg moves or otherw...
Curious, why not? Odds are you're bound to hatch at least every pokemon at least once
If you hatch an Oshawott do you just stop using it? Lol
lavish dune
THIS set of hatched pokemon
none of the pokemon in that screenshot caught my eye (except the oshawatt) so i didnt look into them
supple basalt
Okay using any hatched pokemon and using a specific set of hatched pokemon are two completely different things you've gotta be more specific lol
lavish dune
does that make more sense?
supple basalt
Sorry bhout that
lavish dune
i thought it was clearer
supple basalt
I didn't see anywhere where you specified a batch
supple basalt
Oh no I'm not a nitpicky person I just misunderstood XD
odd mason
level 25 is killing me
supple basalt
Oof rival 2 fight
I find that battle hard if you don't focus on like two pokemon
Misty got me got so I've gotta restart
I should use this again since I committed to unlocking the passive lol
Two candy farms and a carry. :P
rugged comet
What the fuckkk WHY IS IT NOT IN THE TOWN
google ai is going to be wrong
supple basalt
First time I've gotten the scald TM
supple basalt
google ai is going to be wrong
Where the hell is the center
I have to go there and I've just been flying back to the last town in order to heal
rugged comet
building with a sign that says PC
mart next door
just north of the giratina statue
sweet crypt
I should use this again since I committed to unlocking the passive lol
It's Quiver Dancin time
supple basalt
I've passed by this at least 10 times and didn't once think it might be the center =_=
sweet crypt
It says PC on the sign but apart from that yeah doesn't seem very obvious
supple basalt
I missed PC and just thought "Super fancy building must be for later"
sweet crypt
Damn
What's Hoopa's first egg move?
I need to know if it's important enough to have during a Hoopa Rerun
supple basalt
Not sure but I hatched one earlier I'll check when I'm out of this battle
If that's the one I unlocked
sweet crypt
Just checked, it's Photon Geyser
lavish dune
im close to my location goal, but not close enough. thats so painful
sweet crypt
That does hit through Sturdy...
And since I'm running Shell Smash on a frail Pokemon, I think I really should wait to get it
supple basalt
Gotcha
rugged comet
What the fuckkk WHY IS IT NOT IN THE TOWN
also floria island is the name of the island the first few chapters are on
supple basalt
Mid team lol
supple basalt
IT USED TO HAVE BOOMBURST?
sweet crypt
(It doesn't matter lmao)
supple basalt
Damn why'd they take it away
sweet crypt
Damn why'd they take it away
Techno Blast only has 20 less BP
And also is easier to build around
supple basalt
I mean whether BB or TB I probably would have gotten rid of it in favor of Tri-Attack
sweet crypt
On account of not needing a Telepathy/Ghost type
supple basalt
Damn
supple basalt
I like more PP and chance of status
sweet crypt
Doesn't Boomburst have 10 PP
supple basalt
Idk but TB is 5 without any PP Ups
sweet crypt
Techno Blast is 5 yeah
That said, with a Pickup mon, you practically have infinite Leppas
supple basalt
Valid
Next time I use my Pory I'll keep TB on it. I just have to remember to move the Leppas lol
sweet crypt
Trying to think of what run I should do next
Man it's so funny that 2 of Genesect's most iconic moves are event only
supple basalt
Tapu's so much better when I can get a good water or fairy move early. Usually it's Revelation Dance
sweet crypt
And that neither of them are its signature move
Fennekin run looks fun
Twin Beam with Magician means I steal 2 items per attack
That sounds funny
supple basalt
Delphox was on my first run that slaughtered Eternatus
sweet crypt
That said...
supple basalt
When I didn't know about unlocking things with candies
supple basalt
So I should run Fennekin again, especially when the mega gets added
sweet crypt
It's been ages since my last one
I'll try to spam cycles that get me a lot of Silk Scarves
supple basalt
What move should I forget on Tapu in favor of Aqua Ring?
sweet crypt
Because my ass wants to spam that Huge Power STAB Espeed
sweet crypt
What move should I forget on Tapu in favor of Aqua Ring?
None of them realistically
supple basalt
Valid
supple basalt
This is the first time I've had QD on it
sweet crypt
So I know that's enough
sweet crypt
Fair, Moonblast is a Level 60 move
God I've used Tapu Fini too much to know that number
supple basalt
What irritates me is there's no upgrade between DV and MB
sweet crypt
I always look forward to replacing Springtide Storm with it
That's why I remember so well
supple basalt
Not even Draining Kiss like come on
sweet crypt
Ice and Fire
Thinking of what secondary carry to bring
I know I want a Dark type for Ghosts
And Fini should be able to handle Water types
So I think I'll bring a Dark type that beats Grass
supple basalt
Hmm. I don't know a good dark type. I don't wanna suggest Meow lmao
You can bring something that gets dark moves
sweet crypt
OK, so here's the gist
The best overall options here would be either Meows or Weav
Since they also can handle Mega Ray
To some extent
Weav being better for Mega Ray since it has Tough Claws and higher Attack
But Weav cannot switch into Grass types
supple basalt
Oh yeah with tough claws Weav def better
sweet crypt
There's also other options I don't use as much that can switch into Grass types
Like Houndoom or Honchkrow
It could be fun to use a less used mon
Maybe it'll surprise me?
I'm thinking Honchkrow as it takes Chesnaught's Fighting moves the best of all my options
supple basalt
Make Houndoom great :0
sweet crypt
I just got so many candies that I'm Level 9 on Wave 5 wtf
supple basalt
I love using Houndoom
sweet crypt
I ultimately didn't pick Houndoom as I don't have its rare Egg move yet
Which I think is Armour Cannon?
unkempt egret
there we go jolteon done
sweet crypt
This fool will stay in on me and deal 0 damage with Fire moves
supple basalt
Lol I decimated Crasher Wake as my "Mightiest foe" and he spawned 4 floors later
sweet crypt
"Run it back"
- Crasher Wake, probably
supple basalt
XD
sweet crypt
Thunderous Kick on Scraggy, that's a Rare I need
supple basalt
Do moght fightiung types get T Kick?
sweet crypt
Do moght fightiung types get T Kick?
Most of the physical Fighting moves I have seen as egg moves are T Kick, yeah
supple basalt
Gotcha
Honestly T Kick's the only reason I haven't opted for Special Lucario in this game
sweet crypt
It's kinda the only Fighting move that isn't pathetic while not having a drawback
supple basalt
In the games I run it special
supple basalt
So no flinching allowed
sweet crypt
Fake Out is usually so annoying early game
supple basalt
Truth
sweet crypt
Scope Lens and Egg Vouche Plus
Usually I'd take the Egg Voucher
But I do have a Super Luck Honchkrow on my team so....
supple basalt
If I had a scope lens and an egg voucher on screen I'd take the lens lol
Question. I found a website for Pokerouge and it has no T2/T3 shiny for Meow. Does it have one yet?
sweet crypt
Eyy, early Dusk Stone
sweet crypt
Question. I found a website for Pokerouge and it has no T2/T3 shiny for Meow. Do...
Probably not
supple basalt
Good to know I was wasting candies XD
sweet crypt
Diggersby right on time for Rival 25
I should normalise referring to refights by their wave number
That way this doesn't look too confusing
I usually call the 2nd Evil Team Leader Evil Team Leader 2 instead of Evil Team Leader 165
Clear Body on Nacli
Ngl
I do not give a fuck
sweet crypt
Tbh I tried using Zangoose once
And just did not get the fucking Toxic Orb
And it was miserable
unkempt egret
rip
meanwhile me getting the toxic orb repeatedly just so flareon and jolteon can shoot themselves in the foot with it
supple basalt
I wish the purple was paired with a nice soft pink color palette
sweet crypt
I just realised I literally cannot hit Ghost Oricorio
And I think it can spawn anywhere during this event
supple basalt
Pfft
sweet crypt
... Kill me
supple basalt
Battle of the struggle?
sweet crypt
This is why I have Honchkrow
Do I run SD over Tidy Up
On one hand the speed is nice
But on the other more Attack = More Murdering people with Espeed
Nah I'll keep Tidy Up for now
sweet crypt
SD is a level up move anyways if I feel like I'm lacking in damage I just memory mushroom
sweet crypt
Is hazard removal or murder more useful
I care more about the fact that Tidy Up is basically just Ddance for me
supple basalt
Speaking of SD E-Speed
sweet crypt
Expert Pokemon Breeder
supple basalt
It'll get E Speed later
supple basalt
Unfortunately for her, Clefable has 0 fucking Fairy moves
Yeah I love that lol
sweet crypt
Tbf in my case it was a Clefairy but like same difference really
supple basalt
Actually gonna drop Fire Lash this run instead of Taxel
sweet crypt
I am making the worst plays of the entire century bro wtf
sweet crypt
Lmao
unkempt egret
lategame endless in a shellnut

Isn't endless like
supple basalt
I love Pop bomb
sweet crypt
Feed a shitload of candies to your main carry until it becomes 50 times the level of your opponent
unkempt egret
yes
sweet crypt
And then get forced to switch to using run away and stall strats anyways
unkempt egret
yea I'm gonna get to the point where not having those will kill me since i only have Curse out of that lot
sweet crypt
That is the 2nd time an Oricorio has clicked Feather Dance on my Wicked Blowing Honchkrow
supple basalt
And now Lucario has all his moves. SD, Meteor Mash, ESpeed, Thundurus Kick
sweet crypt
I just clicked Wicked Blow vs an Alolan Muk and Togekiss
And it somehow worked
I'm stupid but thankfully this game is easy
lavish dune
yall am i gonna win this run??
sweet crypt
I almsot got cooked by Quick Claw Blizzard
That was terrifying
Thankfully, it missed
unkempt egret
wish there was a way to transfer candy from one pokemon to another if you have everything for that species (all 4 egg moves, passive, both reductions, and all 3 shiny colors)
lavish dune
nvm he sucked
lavish dune
if i can get a shiny paradox thatd be awesome, but with THIS run? i just hope its one i can actually catch
sweet crypt
I'm gonna be clicking priority vs a Bruxish in the next 10 minutes
I can already feel it
supple basalt
I've gotten that group of blueberry kids exactly once
sweet crypt
This is like the 2nd time I've ever seen Brassius
Ok yeah there is no way I am sweeping a GRASS TRAINER with Diggersby
Not before I get Tera
Um
lavish dune
fuck you yo mamma dead imma beat yer ass
lavish dune
THIS DUDE USING WATER GUN
supple basalt
I've never used this before. I may catch it
sweet crypt
THIS DUDE USING WATER GUN
Pokerogue AI at its finest
lavish dune
Pokerogue AI at its finest
i think its more poliwrath's move pool sucking ass
sweet crypt
At the end of the day the AI is the one picking which moves to use
There's surely better than fucking Water Gun
lavish dune
vs iron moth, im not sure actually
supple basalt
Alright this is prolly the last time I'll update the team lol
lavish dune
bubble beam or hydro pump actually, it just HAS water gun
sweet crypt
Anyways made a joke out of the rival
sweet crypt
bubble beam or hydro pump actually, it just HAS water gun
Yeah and the AI is what decides the movepool
lavish dune
oh lmao
sweet crypt
Maybe not the same one as the one picking the moves, but one nonetheless
supple basalt
Yeah Kieran's Hydrapple is a menace
sweet crypt
I'm so proud of myself I actually remembered not to click Espeed vs Tsareena
supple basalt
I'm seeing the appeal of unlocking fairy Aura. I've never done this fight so fast
sweet crypt
Quiver Dance
Y'know
I'd take this if I had a mon that could
(Context: Just beat Bug Type Superfan)
sweet crypt
Diggersby (physical), Fini (Already has it), Honchkrow (Physical), Linoone (Physical), Sableye (What's an attacker?), Ambipom (Physical)
supple basalt
If I don't get a catchable legend imma riot
sweet crypt
How have I only managed to match up vs Grass and Fighting gym leaders
And how has Diggersby swept all but 1 of them
supple basalt
Goated rabbit
sweet crypt
Diggersby just swept the entire dojo
sweet crypt
Just beat Giovanni 2 by using Swords Dance once and spamming Espeed
supple basalt
Falkner letting me get 2 Q Dances up for the second battle with him
Happened both battles
sweet crypt
This run is really making me wonder why they made Delibird a 4 cost with Huge Power a long time ago
Even more than I already did
Bro was always the worst Huge Power mon
supple basalt
Is it good now?
sweet crypt
They could've just done the cost reduction they already did to Delibird without losing Huge Power and it'd have been balanced
sweet crypt
Is it good now?
Not sure, it is cheap and has good egg moves but it still has bad stats and no longer has Huge Power
supple basalt
So you won't let me Q Dance in your face without switching out next time. I believe you Falkner
sweet crypt
Diggersby > Norman
Well, apart from his Unfezant that flinched me like 3 times in a row with Floaty Fall
-# bitch
supple basalt
Diggersby is the new Slaking
sweet crypt
Gen 1 E4
lavish dune
not wormadam coming in clutch af against ivy

Lorelei landed a pretty good Steam Eruption with Dewgong and then blew up
lavish dune
heal order + QD + a baton = a fully set up iron moth
sweet crypt
Nice
supple basalt
That's a cool shiny
lavish dune
it is!
sweet crypt
Unfortunately I doubt I can sweep Bruno with his Annihilape
So I'll switch Diggersby out for Fini
lavish dune
That's a cool shiny
supple basalt
I went ahead and caught it. Replaced Maushold since I wasn't really using it
sweet crypt
Annihilape landed a pretty good Gunk Shot on Fini
But Fini is a bulky bastard
So I tanked and swept
supple basalt
I think I need a better nature on my Fini
sweet crypt
Bold's really good
supple basalt
It's bold which isn't bad for it
sweet crypt
Allows you to set up better on Physical attackers
supple basalt
Oh okay nvm then mine's good XD
sweet crypt
Though Bold is mainly good for if you have Recover, which you don't
supple basalt
I do not no
sweet crypt
If you don't have Recover then Modest is probably the best?
supple basalt
But I eventually will
sweet crypt
Diggersby obviously cannot sweep Agatha either (Man, I really just got the worst E4 for Diggersby)
But my good teambuilding comes in clutch, and Honchkrow wipes the floor with her
sweet crypt
I just OHKOd Lance's Boss Multiscale Dragonite with Diggersby
lavish dune
game just gave me eq before the final boss, is that an omen or a warning?
sweet crypt
I was being very smart with my routing
And thus have 5 Silk Scarves
That was why I managed to OHKO it
I was constantly routing through the most efficient Silk Scarf grinding route
And now it's time to slaughter Blue
He swapped in his Focus Blast Mega Pidgeot to try to kill me
But by the time he didn't keep Alakazam in, he already lost
I could tell it was Focus Blast btw
Because it had a Black Belt
Not that it matters, he gave the 1 turn I needed to Swords Dance up and sweep with Espeed
Mega Rayquaza managed to tank Espeed
But it also failed to OHKO so uhh
Gg ez I win
