Then we have Baxcalibur at level 54, Dnite and Ttar at 55, Dragapult at 60 and Hydreigon at 64

I’m currently building a 6mon doubles battle palafin team with the sole purpose of being genuinely suprising (via having eject button on a strong bulky mon)
So far it’s
Palafin(duh)
Amoongus
Incinaroar
Zamazenta (unironically gonna use eject button on them)
Tornadus (for prankster and tailwind)
I need a good special attacker for being in tailwind that doesn’t require any setup now though and I’m lost
That isn’t fluttermane if it can be avoided
The more I look at it the better fluttermane gets for the team overall
supple basalt
Using Eject Button on Zamazenta seems counter productive with its nerf
unkempt egret
assuming this is 6v6 doubles you might wanna be a little careful with palafin since it's pretty telegraphed that you need to switch out when it's first reveald (also yea cheeto's also correct on zama)
if anything it might actually be better on tornadus since you can set up tailwind then nope out on the same turn
and potentally get palafin back in on the same turn it swaps out/transforms on

Pokerogue, a browser-based rougelite fangame
sweet crypt
does it have trade evos?
It does have Pokemon that evolve via trade evos, but like most fangames they aren't trade evos anymore
Here they evolve via linking cord
Pokerogue can be a bit rough if you plan on clearing it instantly, but since it's a roguelite clearing it instantly isn't exactly the intention
The intention is for you to fail a few runs while unlocking new things until you have enough resources to start with that you can win
Though it is certainly possible to beat it instantly
(There's even an entire challenge built around doing so)

I would have made more sense for a lot of normal flying to be just bird type because missingno was bird type way back on the original gameboy

Bird type isn’t a real type

Bird is so much more constricting than making the birds Normal/Flying

I like the flavor/design conceit of them though
If anything they should've just made more mono Flying mons that really embodied like literal winds more
Like how is Tornadus still the only explicitly wind-based Flying mon in the game
And then they made Rookidee and Corvisquire Flying mono for no reason when they might as well just be Normal/Flying first ala Fletchling
And they're still the only other new mono-Flying out there and they don't even make sense they're just birds!!!

Like bro Pikachu apparently struggles in Misty's gym in a nuzlocke
pikachu is not that good in kanto since the first gym is literally full of ground types and even if its got a good type matchup into misty, like u said, it just starts to kind of fall off at that point
unkempt egret
then again saying "that was super effective but you're still fainted lol" is in the spirit of gen 1
sweet crypt
Even with a Light Ball it's still not very fast and extremely frail
So even with the Light Ball Raichu's just infinitely better
Even if it technically hits harder than Rayquaza now
unkempt egret
and even then it's still not good
brisk hedge
Like bro Pikachu apparently struggles in Misty's gym in a nuzlocke
Pikachu was already available before the first gym in Gen 1, so clearly it’s too weak to get a baby. And Pichu couldn’t even be found in the wild in Gen 2, you had to breed either a Pikachu or a Raichu to even get it, so what’s the point
sweet crypt
Yeah I can't wait to hit these Ground types with my harder than Rayquaza Quick Attack

what did i SAY brayden
WHAT did i SAY
unkempt egret
enough defense to ward off even SE physical attacks (ok mankey is also kinda fraud), low enough special bulk that even charmander's resisted ember will work, enough speed to outrun anything that isn't pikachu or rattata, and just enough attack to prevent you from chipping it down but not enough to be an actual threat if you're using special attacks
in that context it's brilliant, in any other context, it's baffling (though FRLG kinda broke the lesson with the rock tomb addition, at least for charmander)

Hey chat, which Pokemon that is incapable of evolving further do you think you could beat in a 1v1?
If possible, explain how the fight would go
I think I could fight a singular Unown
Its entire thing in the movies is that it is pathetic singularly and finds strength in numbers, which shows in game with its horrendous stats
I'll poke it in its eye, and it'll cry out in pain
Then I'll throw it onto the ground and stomp on it
And since it has 48/48 bulk, the fight will end there
If it has Hidden Power Fighting though, maybe it could put up a fight with its 72 SpA
But ultimately I think I'll still have the upper hand from poking it in the eye to disable its sight
Especially since yknow
Most of its body is its eye
So it's basically a full body blow
Someone told me that it may try to show me the heat death of the universe over the course of a billion years in one second or something idk
I paid about as much attention to that as I would to Unown's little presentation
If anything, this gives me a better opening, as Unown is busy giving its presentation, it will be left wide open

imo hop had the misfortune of coming right after Hau and was similar enough on the surface
supple basalt
I think I had more fun with Hau's dialogue
Hop also had the misfortune on being in Sword and Shield, which are probably the worst mainline pokemon games released on the switch (So X and Y is not in this ranking for worst Pokémon game lol)
I used to hold them in much higher regard honestly, I love the games
But when I had to replace my Switch, I had to replay all Mainline games because it doesn't save to the nintendo cloud- (Thank ARCEUS my original Switch still half-worked and I could move everything I had to Home-). Let's Go Eevee, Violet, and PLA I had no trouble with. Sword was such a slog to play through and I still haven't replayed Shield.
unkempt egret
I'm strange in that I feel like SM is overall the most of a slog to replay (barring USUM which is probably more) for me but the gym 8 portion of XY is probably the most miserable slog in the series for me
like the portion after lysandre up to gym 8 just feels like so much of a drag when doing nuzlockes and I'm glad my sky battles only run ended right in the middle of it (the final sky trainer was on route 19 right before the triple rival fight)
X/Y is normally pretty fast-paced but that segment just does not feel fun (at least it picks back up again after gym 8)

we just mentioned Vega which is a good one, especially Viva las Vega which has the postgame mons in the maingame
if we're stretching the definition of fakemon then super mariomon and touhoumon are also good (variably in the latter's case since it has a lot of different versions. I'd most rec Purple even if it's difficulty is a bit tricky at times, though zeta's version of FR 1.8 is also good and a fair bit easier)

Tbh 500 in HP's actually pretty low for Level 200s iirc
But those defences are very solid

I should get going with my Mono Normal Randoms Run
I think the plan is to do every challenge run with this excluding Fresh Start and Nuzlocke
Including Twistverse
Doing this with Fresh Start sounds annoying
And doing it with Nuzlocke is a death sentence
Nuzlocke is the only run I've struggled with by itself in Pokerogue ever
edgy lion
yyyeah, nuzlocke doesn't sound fun
sweet crypt
Not only because of the generic nuzlocke rules
edgy lion
and is fresh start what it sounds like?
sweet crypt
But also because it locks you out of between biome healing
And also locks you out of the item shop
And also forces you to run a less restricted version of Fresh Start
PP? Massive issue
HP? Massive issue
New Pokemon?
... Well, you could probably just use a main carry that doesn't need other Pokemon
So actually that one isn't really problematic
Knowing what I know now, if I were to do a Nuzlocke I'd do so with Xerneas and a few Pickup mons
sweet crypt
and is fresh start what it sounds like?
Fresh Start has multiple levels
One allows you to use any starter you've unlocked, but without their IVs, Natures, Egg Moves, Passives and I think HAs as well
The other straight up forces you to only have the same things you'd have when making a fresh savefile
The 9 Starter Trios
And nothing else
edgy lion
jeez
sweet crypt
Thankfully you only need the former active for Nuzlocke
And the latter isn't the worst thing in the world by itself
Tbf I understand forcing it for Nuzlockes
edgy lion
tbf, Kezy (blastoise) had no egg moves and beginner IVs in my last run, but she had a Ival to help her through the initial levels
sweet crypt
Because otherwise there's like
20 seperate Pokemon that solo the game deathless
If not more
Heck, Xerneas and Eternatus can do it without even having their egg moves
And the latter was the strategy I ended up using to beat Nuzlocke
I didn't use Xerneas even though it was cheaper because I heavily underestimated how good it was
I knew it was amazing
I knew it'd solo the game with egg moves and passive
But I recently did a Xerneas run
And it became clear to me that Xerneas only needs itself to beat the game
No egg moves or passives required
edgy lion
seems beating classic is literally just the beginning, which makes me really happy honestly 
sweet crypt
Yeah, at first I was thinking I'd only stop when I completed the Pokedex
Then I did
Then I went on to beat every challenge run
Still wasn't done after that, so I started up an Endless run to get All Achievements
I'm not going to beat Endless though, I know that the end of Endless is an absolute slog
edgy lion
sweet crypt
Remember, enable auto egg skip so that you don't have to sit through 50 years of egg hatching
Unless you like that
edgy lion
got an achievement for hatching a shiny
sweet crypt
I'm the type of person to accidentally not skip to summary
edgy lion
mine skips
sweet crypt
Like I'd be spamming B
And then accidentally hit B on the prompt
And be forced to sit through everything
Which is why I keep auto skip enabled
edgy lion
ooof
sweet crypt
Anyways the next step I find is getting a starter setup that can consistently beat Classic regardless of RNG
And grind up all those eggs and passives
That opens up a lot of things
You could just do casual runs using certain Pokemon that you won't normally use as carries
You could do a few challenge runs
You could try to get a completion ribbon on every Pokemon
Etc
You can also spam random and let Pokerogue pick your team
Makes for a pretty fun challenge tbh
Well, until it picks Calyrex
edgy lion
I've been working on a charcadet/squirtle/cottonee core starting team
sweet crypt
If it does then now the run's literally just an RNG check
"Will I get Calyrex's rider forms or will I instalose?"
Caly-S is an instawin
edgy lion
the squirtle was falling behind which was why I wanted the 3 mor candies to hopefully get better IVs from an egg
sweet crypt
And Caly-I could probably carry a fill run anyways
But those are very harsh RNG checks
Since base Calyrex is unusable
Blue Shiny Cleffa and Red Shiny Dedenne
Had the red shiny for the former already but that's neat I suppose
Also got Moody on Bidoof

Unfortunately, +6 Attack, Defence, SpD and Power Trip

Anyways, Bibarel shows that you can make any Pokemon good by giving it a way to make it have +6 in its Defences and primary attacking stat
I'd consider it an S- tier Pokemon despite that
Since it really cannot handle lead Electric or Fighting types
Mono Fighting is next
If you're wondering what my Eternatus wincon is, that's the neat part!
I don't have one
I don't think this run is winnable
I'm gonna queue up a few runs actually

The number of times I have missed the fucking nature I am going for on these mons is fucking stupid btw
At some point you'd think I would just like
Use the select nature option
Instead of just cycling through them and overshooting every single time
Also the game really just gave me the Larvitar line in mono ground, huh?
Thankfully G-Yamask is just a Level 34 evo here
I also got fucking Pinsir in Mono Flying
So basically since my luck is garbage, a dead slot
Mono Ground's gonna be rough btw
But I do have a plan
The plan is to land Curse with Runerigus, land Salt Cure with Hippowdon, then stall the living shit out of Eternatus with Shore Up on Hippo and Eviolite Pupitar
Garchomp will carry the team there
And if I use base Garchomp with Tera, it should also beat Phase 1

You played pokerogue longer how do you change your pokemons nature

Fearow needs a regular evolution (at least one game after Gen 1 receives zero special attention)

I will say though, given its role as an early mon, I'm afraid it getting an evo is unlikely

Nah fuck waiting for a specific generation to get jack shit before buffing Pokem...
Tell that to game freak, who gave literally every Gen other then 1 nothing in Gen 7
And then still gave Gen 1 the vast majority of new forms in Gen 8

I dont see why we should hold off on giving buffs to shitmons just because unrelated Pokemon from the same generation got something
Sounds stupid

You know what else is stupid? Pandering exclusively to what is objectively the worst generation of Pokémon
But they did that
So now, we should get at least one game where Gen 1 gets nothing to make up for it

That sounds like a kinda very flawed reasoning to just not give mfs like Seaking anything
Though tbf could they save Seaking?
I'm kinda doubtful
unkempt egret
yea some gen 1 mons are just not gonna get anything since they aren't The Big Players
like any buffs to fearow (and dodrio by extension) will inevitably go to Pidgeot first

and then to farfetch'd who's badness makes it still more memorable than the better birds are but even then it didn't get a direct buff
unkempt egret
yep
sweet crypt
There is 0 buff they could give base Pidgeot that'd make it superior over Dodrio
Well, 0 sane buff
unkempt egret
there's a reason why mega pidge went in a completely different direction from normal pidgeot
sweet crypt
And by sane I mean Gamefreak standards of sane
AKA stupidly insane
But Gamefreak isn't insane enough to cook up buffs to make base Pidgeot better than Dodrio
I can barely even conceive how one would do that with anything that is even remotely logical
unkempt egret
probably an overpowered signature move of some kind
since those feel easier to slot in than abilities or stat buffs
kinda like how GO did it even if featherdance isn't exactly good

bulbasaur, mudkip and fuecoco
sweet crypt

I'd take the bracelet
thanks
didn't even matter since a boss poocheyna killed me the next level
sweet crypt
Damn
As a bit of advice, do not focus on levelling the whole team at first
Only focus on levelling 1 Pokemon
Earlier on, you don't have the exp to afford to spread levels across multiple Pokemon
severe echo
what do i press to get back into the starter selection 😭
sweet crypt
what do i press to get back into the starter selection 😭
You're currently selecting Fairy
severe echo
oh nvm i figured it out
sweet crypt
Even if it doesn't show as selected, since you have 0 type selected and the selection cursor is over Fairy, it will only show Fairies
supple basalt
Damnit I changed his shirt for this screenshot smh
sweet crypt
But yeah generally you only should level 1 Pokemon at the start of a run
This can also help you gain more Candies on that Pokemon
Which will allow you to unlock more Egg Moves and Passives and Cost Downs
severe echo
oh thanks for the tips
and now i lose cause the rival sent out a quaxly while i sacrificed my entire team to level up my fuecoco

Couldn't you beat Quaxly with Bulbasaur?
Even with a level disadvantage you still hit it for SE
And Fuecoco should land a few good hits before going down
If the bird afterwards is an issue you just sacrifice Mudkip instead of Fuecoco
severe echo
Couldn't you beat Quaxly with Bulbasaur?
yes but he's level 5 and the quaxly did watergun, then he outsped and his pound crits and bulbasaur dies
severe echo
And Fuecoco should land a few good hits before going down
the attacks did practically nothing and he 2 shot me with watergun, Mudkip then died cause THE PIDGEON SURVIVES A ROCK SLIDE

That's why you sacrifice Mudkip first
That way it eats the Crit and Bulbasaur doesn't have to switch into anything
Pokerogue is a bit demanding when it comes to decision making before you get overpowered
You'll have to make these sorts of decisions to make progress if you get unlucky
The main thing is being able to progress enough to start earning vouchers and hatching eggs
Well either that or you simply get a good MU vs the Rival's starter
I remember when going for a Fresh Start run, I'd reset runs until the Pokemon I piled levels into got a good MU vs the Rival's
severe echo
oh you've got to be sh*tting me bro 😭 LITERALLY EVERY MOVE OF MY RIVAL CRIT
i sacrificed the mudkip BUT IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER, HE OUTSPEEDS AND CRITS AND KILLS

What's his pokemon

OK that's just bullshit RNG lmfao
Sometimes the game decides you lose
Because at its core, Pokerogue is a Pokemon game
So ofc RNG will randomly fuck you over
unkempt egret
yea sometimes it's just Restart and hope for better RNG, at least it's only wave 8 in that case

(Casual eyetwitch of having to outsmart Nemona's super speedy Koraidon with doing a bit of savescumming...)
Switching to Meow prompts a switch to Koridon which I could just casually PR on that turn
XD
Otherwise it oneshot my entire squad

yea sometimes you gotta find The Thread Of Victory in terms of getting out of a difficult fight

What's his pokemon
it was the pidgeon and froakie
finally the rival had a rowlett so my fuecoco swept

My squad is almost always pure physical so when Finn has Talonflame as his bird... 
Flame Body with the increased RNG of Pokerouge is the most annoying bird Finn can get
sweet crypt
My squad is almost always pure physical so when Finn has Talonflame as his bird....
Talonflame's Flame Body!
I have seen it have Gale Wings before
sweet crypt
Which wouldn't be terrifying but iirc it got Gale Wings on a run with a Flying-Weak Pokemon
Because of course it did
Still managed to beat it by just tanking Brave Bird though
Thankfully, Talonflame's Attack isn't that high

RNG is evil like that

All Pokemon have a very small chance to have HA unless they have a locked ability
And I suppose the rival just decided to roll HA on Talonflame on the 1 run it'd be worst
supple basalt
So like Salazzle with corrosion counts as a locked ability or did they give it a HA
sweet crypt

Corrosion on Salazzle's the base
And it always had a HA, being Oblivious
supple basalt
I know they gave Regi or Slaking an HA so wasn't sure if they did for Salazzle too
Not used to all of ROuge's changes yet lol
sweet crypt
Oblivious Salazzle is mainline game
supple basalt
I guess going with oblivious on Salazzle is the equivalent of going with Aroma Veil on Dachsbun
sweet crypt
The only mons I know get HAs in Pokerogue that don't normally exist are Archeops, Golisopod, Slaking and Regigigas
AKA: 4 Pokemon with drawback abilities
supple basalt
Valid lol
sweet crypt
Bug/Steel Shuckle Evolution where the only non-type change is gaining 45 HP (to 65 HP total, 550 BST)
And then the Mega just breaks the rules and adds 25 to Defences and 50 more to HP

The rivals... the roller skates... the lack of an actual difficulty... Team Flare (not including Lysandre)

At least they're not SM (plus, the lack of difficulty is easily fixed by turning off Exp. Share)

USUM/SM are cutscene heavy but that's about it
