Soak and Chill are such troll moves it's hilarious 😂

Then again, Chill exists in a fan game but still

unkempt egret Nov 29, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

chill?

#

I take it from comparing it to soak that it's an ice-typed soak

#

I guess Magic Powder too but its sole user has better things to do than change the opponent into a type it can't take advantage of

#

also can confirm that Toxic does cheese the etern fight if you're able to get it set up (in my case, corrosion salazzle)

#

the main thing to note is that it will wipe any status effects in the transition from phase 1 to 2. but won't do so further unless it steals a lum berry

fickle pine Nov 29, 2025, 6:14 PM

Chill is a fan game move learned by an Ice/Fighting-type.

But I usually don't use it on Eternatus

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:18 PM

My movepool on Zacian in Pokerogue is usually just Magical Torque, Swords Dance and two of Bitter Blade, Earthquake, Behemoth Blade, Sacred Sword (or CC if I get that TM) and Mighty Cleave

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

Yeah I like to switch between egg moves lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

Zacian has quite a lot of good moves

#

I always run SD because SD is goated and Magical Torque since Fairy is a better offensive type than Steel

#

It isn't the literal best offensive type like what some may lead you to believe but it's quite strong

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

Oh yeah no I always run SD. I generally put Behemoth Blade on it when I get the steel type just cause I like having it (Though I wish it did extra damage against Eternatus like it does in S/S)

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

sweet crypt My movepool on Zacian in Pokerogue is usually just Magical Torque, Swords Dance ...

In fact I'd say that out of this list of moves, 3 of them utilise a better offensive type than Fairy

#

Well, 4 technically

#

Since I did separately list Sacred Sword and CC

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:22 PM

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

Fairy is probably less resisted than Fighting but Fighting hits more types for SE, including Steel which is the best defensive type

#

And I'd say both Rock and Ground out of those are also better than Fairy offensively with confidence

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:24 PM

Yeah Steel types are who I struggle with with Zacian honestly, even with BB and/or EQ

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:27 PM

The Steel/Flyings and Levitating Steels don't pose a threat to Zacian because they're not offensively potent (and also, I can't name a single Celesteela used by a trainer at the top of my head)

Corv I don't usually struggle with since it doesn't hit hard

#

I just click SD a bit and then click Magical Torque

#

Or yknow if I have Bitter Blade I just click that

#

Rock and Fighting also do serviceably vs it

#

Out of the Steel/Flyings the one that annoys me the most is Skarmory

sweet crypt I mean Magical Torque OHKOs that

Oh I know

#

It's very dependent on if he gets something I need fire type with and don't trust Delphox to OhKo

#

XD

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

Cyndaquil is a bit scary

#

You kinda need to attack it instantly

#

Because tanking Drought Eruption is a no go

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

What's Typhlosions passive again?

#

Oh I am not brave enough to tank an eruption. It's strong enough to be scary but if Zacian outspeeds he ohkos with EQ

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

Typhlosion and Empoleon are very scary because of their weather abilities

#

They hit so fucking hard with them

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

I can imagine

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

Doesn't help that Eruption is a stupidly strong move, and that Empoleon has one of the higher natural SpAs among Starters iirc

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

I thought Empoleon was more Physical. Learning new things lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

Empoleon's also a bit bulky

#

And even if the rival decides to be an idiot and run Wave Crash

#

Empoleon still has decent Attack

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Finn had Fire Paldea Tauros last game which was REALLY annoying since that made Meow force a switch to it and not Ray

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

And that's a 120 BP move

#

Empoleon also has pretty menacing egg moves like Tachyon Cutter and Steam Eruption

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

Oh god yeah Wave Crash. Whenever I see it I get terrified x.x

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

The only good thing about it is that it's kinda slow

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

Ngl until Riolu got the egg move I had no clue what type Tachyon Cutter was lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

Though if you're running a weather team, that gets turned into an advantage

#

You won't get your weather, it will get its own

#

Imagine if you're doing a Groudon run

#

And didn't get the luck to get the Red Orb by 145/195

#

Literally just instantly cooked by Drizzle Tera Water Steam Eruption

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

Yeah I need to run Groudon since I have it of the adamant variety but I wanna continue to shiny hunt the doggo

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

Ngl if Empoleon actually had Drizzle, Pelipper would lose its job

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

Even if I only get the T1 shiny I want something lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:37 PM

I bet Pelipper fans are real happy that isn't the case

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

Prolly lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

They put these abilities on shitmons for a reason

#

Drizzle and Drought are so strong

#

And heck even Snow Warning doesn't really have a particularly exceptional weather setter

#

The only weather that has non-legendary weather setters that are actual good Pokemon outside of setting weather is Sand

#

Which... has 2, crazily enough

#

Ttar and Hippo

Tailwind is ass if you're playing Singles

And I've heard more about Politoed than about Pelipper in Doubles

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:40 PM

Delphox proves herself the superior fire type

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:40 PM

Yeowch

#

Psychic Surge's still the passive right?

#

I'm not being delusional

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

Btw which is better, Flamethrower or Fiery Dance? Flamethrower is +10 power but Fiery Dance raises my sp atk more often than not

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

If so yeah that makes sense

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

Yes it is

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

supple basalt Btw which is better, Flamethrower or Fiery Dance? Flamethrower is +10 power but ...

(It's actually as often as not technically speaking)

#

Anyways, I'd say if you don't have a setup move, go Fiery Dance

#

Otherwise, go Flamethrower

#

Unless you want to use a cool fucking move

#

Then stick with Fiery Dance

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

Yeah Delphox is full offensive lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

Fiery Dance is infinitely cooler than Flamethrower so it is thus better than Flamethrower on Volcarona

#

It's flawless logic, really

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:43 PM

#

Better aesthetic, keepin it~

#

Just like PIF logic lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:44 PM

#

They should give Volcarona Dancer over Swarm

#

I mean

#

Volcarona clearly has exceptional dance skills

#

It's easily the most recognisable user of Quiver Dance and Fiery Dance

#

With the latter being its Signature Move until Iron Moth was made

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

Isn't Volcarona the pokemon with the event where they cause up a fire storm lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

And Iron Moth is basically just Volcarona from a different timeline anyways

#

So it's basically still Volcarona's signature

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:45 PM

#

supple basalt Isn't Volcarona the pokemon with the event where they cause up a fire storm lol

Ye

#

Moth ❤️

#

Anyways while they're at it, give Slither Wing Victory Dance

#

Because I mean

#

These Dance Skills have to come from somewhere

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

That would be actually evil lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:46 PM

#

Pokerogue does actually give VDance to Slither Wing and it's peak

#

Yknow since Volcarona's so good at dancing, maybe Garchomp should come to her for advice

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

Oh is it in the egg moves?

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

Maybe he'll finally learn Dragon Dance after taking weekly dance classes from her

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:47 PM

#

supple basalt Oh is it in the egg moves?

Yeah, Slither Wing gets Vdance as an egg move in Pokerogue

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

That's cool

#

I've been passively just catching paradox for minimal candies lol

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

Clangerous Soul is a dance move

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:48 PM

#

I don't think I've hatched Slither yet tho

#

So can't catch

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:48 PM

They should give it to Oricorio

#

Because that'd be hilarious

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:48 PM

Pfft

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:49 PM

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:50 PM

Fun fact: Aqua Step is a Dance move

#

If you've seen Quaquaval, you're probably not surprised in the slightest

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

No I'm not. I kinda see the paldea starters as the singer, the dancer, and the performer

#

I love it

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

Aqua Step is also the only physical Dance move

supple basalt Nov 30, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

Didn't know that

sweet crypt Nov 30, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

And along with Clangorous Soul, the only Dance moves to not have Dance in their name

#

Clangorous Soul has also allowed me to make extremely stupid suggestions

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:18 AM

Speaking of shinies though. Delphox's T2 shiny perfectly matches the color Psyschic Surge makes the enviornment

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

sweet crypt I was wondering how much additional damage was needed to break through a shield ...

Oh?

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

#

Every time you OHKO Emax, just know you killed it 32 times over apparently

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

Never done that but good to know I'm doing 16x damage to Mega Ray

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

Considering how Pokemon struggle to OHKO Eternamax normally that's pretty crazy to me

#

I mean I am using shit like +6 in every stat STAB Tera Psychic Stored Power

#

So maybe I shouldn't be surprised

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

Kinda irritated the only Tera Shards I've found this run are Dragon shards and like. That's useless to me >:(

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

But yeah with all the vitamin and type item stacking you can do such stupid amounts of damage

#

And then add stat boosts on top of that

#

And you're just nuking shit to death

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:23 AM

#

Yeah I've got 5 calciums on Delphox atm. I know you can put 10 soul dews on a single pokemon

#

Actually I haven't found a Soul Dew in a few runs

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:23 AM

#

Does feel weird to me how Soul Dews are kinda just Vitamins with a drawback (actually a benefit in certain scenarios, mainly involving lowering Attack and Speed)

#

But you can move them between teammates so fair enough I suppose

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

Wait how do Soul Dews work? I thought they just benefitted natures?

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

supple basalt Wait how do Soul Dews work? I thought they just benefitted natures?

Increases the effectiveness of natures

#

Though it's by the same increments as Vitamins

#

Though tbf

#

They probably work together multiplicatively

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:25 AM

#

And what's the drawback then?

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

supple basalt And what's the drawback then?

Lowering the other stat

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

Oh okay that's what I thought them

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

If you have an optimised nature then it doesn't matter

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

If you have something like fucking Lonely?

#

Death

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

I only ever put them on Meow, Zacian or Delphox

#

Jolly Jolly Modest

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

I honestly prefer Adamant to Jolly in Pokerogue

#

Usually it's the opposite

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

I prefer Jolly on Meow. This game doesn't wanna give me Adamant on Zacian

#

It's stupid

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

But I'm usually using mons that are stupid fast or mons that have speed so high they don't need to boost it

#

I dont personally think Jolly is better than Adamant on Meows, mainly since you outspeed Mega Ray and probably get outsped by Eternatus either way without vitamins

#

Those 2 are really the only specific Pokemon you can plan around since nothing else is consistent

#

I guess if you're really scared of a certain fight you could plan around it in advance in case you get it

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

Yeah Etern outspeeds me without vitamins but with the stupid amount of stat boosts it gets I kinda just count on the AI to be stupid

#

XD

unkempt egret Dec 1, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

I almost always go for adamant or modest unless speed is too fargone to save (at which point it's generally not a good carry) and it's mixed, or it's a Body Press mon in which cass impish/bold

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:28 AM

#

So maybe you run Jolly on Meows if you want to have the highest chance to outspeed Geeta's Miraidon for example

#

Though you probably still need vitamins for that

#

Since Miraidon's fast as shit

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

Nah I don't outspeed Mirai. I just taxel on her switch

#

.

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:29 AM

#

That said all the relevant Pokemon I can think of that outspeed Adamant Meows would outspeed Jolly Meows as well

#

Another I can think of is Leon's Dragapult

#

But that's even faster than Miraidon

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

Speaking of Taxel it actually irritates the hell out of me I'm on floor 120 and not a single Wide Lens

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:32 AM

Xerneas is -spd so I prolly won't be using it much

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:33 AM

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:33 AM

#

supple basalt Xerneas is -spd so I prolly won't be using it much

Spd being Speed or Special Defence

#

If it's the latter then yeah that's a no go

#

If it's the former you're clicking Geomancy anyways

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

Spd = Speed. Sp.D = Special Defense

#

:P

sweet crypt Dec 1, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

It's a lot easier to get Geomancy off than one may think

#

I remember worrying that it'd be an issue in my run

#

But the run gave me so much confidence in Xern that I think in the right hands it can solo the game without egg moves or passive

#

Needless to say it wasn't an issue

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:35 AM

Pfft

terse pollen Dec 1, 2025, 1:35 AM

Miraidon maybe could if you got Calm Mind but that's way too RNG reliant for my liking

supple basalt Dec 1, 2025, 1:35 AM

Found a video about unobtainable Pokemon with Eternal Flower Floette running in fear from Majin

#

Which is funny to me not because ||Eternal Flower Floette is obtainable because it wasn't when the video was made||

#

But because realistically Floette would be one of the best Pokemon to fight Majin

#

252+ SpA Fairy Feather Floette-Eternal Light of Ruin vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Spiritomb: 422-498 (104.4 - 123.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

#

For those that are unaware, Majin is one of the props in Pokestar Studios

#

It is a Dark/Ghost type with 100 BST in every stat

#

And its ability?

#

Wonder Guard

#

The only things that threaten it are indirect damage, ability negation/ignoring and, as luck would have it, Fairy types

#

Like ones with 125 SpA

#

As well as a 140 BP move

#

Yeah those work pretty well against Fairy-Weak Pokemon

#

Iirc in Pokestar Studios, the way the game wanted you to beat Majin was with Toxic damage

#

Well, close enough

#

The game gives you damage over time in the form of Will-O-Wisp

#

Apart from that though the only way you can hit it with the rental Pokemon is Soak+Energy Ball on Octillery

#

Majin has a 44 level lead on Octillery btw

sweet crypt Dec 2, 2025, 7:57 AM

#

Fun fact: Pokemon Stadium fixed a bunch of glitches present in RBY

#

And others...

#

Well, let's look at the 1/256 glitch

#

Due to an error in calculating accuracy, every move only has 255/256 of its displayed accuracy

#

... Or was it an added 1/256 chance to miss?

#

Well, you aren't noticing it unless you're using a 100% accurate move

#

Gamefreak was aware of this, so how did they fix it in Stadium, you may wonder?

#

Well, they ran the accuracy check a 2nd time!

#

Yknow, the same one that caused the glitch in the first place?

#

This transcends the 1/256 glitch to the funnier and rarer 1/65536 glitch

#

It also fixed the Hyper Beam Glitch

#

And made Hyper Beam the dogshit noobtrap move it was intended to be

#

As well as fix the Ghost vs Psychic interaction

#

Now you can fail to 3HKO Abra with your Lick Gengar

#

Yippee!

#

I'm not joking

#

There's genuinely a pretty substantial chance for Gengar to fail to 3HKO Abra with Lick

#

Gengar Lick vs. Abra: 78-92 (30.8 - 36.3%) -- 57.8% chance to 3HKO

#

42.2%

#

This is a Pokemon with 25/15 physical bulk btw

#

One thing it did fix that matters is Focus Energy

#

It now quadruples Crit Rate like intended instead of quartering it

#

There are also a few glitches that Bulbapedia is unsure if Stadium patched

#

The Freeze Dysync Glitch and the Divide by Zero Glitch

#

It does fix the Become Invincible Glitch

#

Basically, hitting yourself/getting full Parad while Flying or Digging forces you into permanent invulnerability

#

You can still attack during this

#

A glitch it fails to fix is the HJK crash glitch

#

Where HJK instead if doing 1/8th of the damage it would've dealt if it had landed when missing

#

It does, uhh

If Tapu Fini can 1v1 Eternatus while tanking Sludge Bombs, mf Regice with its 200 SpD can too

Regice is not that guy

sweet crypt Dec 3, 2025, 6:05 PM

And those Sludge Bombs are 1.5× stronger than Flamethrower too

Apart from Eternatus though bro's a fraud

But Regice 1v1s Eternatus and you can't take that achievement away from it

I tanked 2 Flamethrowers with Mega Lucario thanks to Zincs, HP Ups and a Sitrus + Enigma heal

Then Eternamax Eternatus forgot to target Lucario

That's Mono Fighting Random done

#

Because yeah I'm asking Pokerogue to pick my team at random for me

#

I think Riolu was the last mon it picked for this batch

terse pollen Dec 3, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

I didn't realize you could do that

sweet crypt Dec 3, 2025, 7:11 PM

#

Mega Heracross could probably beat Eternatus the same way Lucario did

#

But it would not have been able to handle the Rival, I think

#

The rival had Intimidate Salamence, Intimidate Staraptor and ofc Mega Ray

#

I have done a fully random run of all 9 Generations, as well as Mono Normal, Poison and Fighting

#

I have 2 runs lined up, Ground and Flying

#

My Ground strategy is simply use Garchomp

#

And once I get to Eternatus, I should hopefully be able to at least take down Phase 1 with Garchomp

#

And then from there, I stall Eternatus out with Eviolite Pupitar, Runerigus and Hippowdon

#

Flying is much more simple since I got Flamigo and I got Calm Mind users

#

So I just win

#

I also have Pinsir in the back

#

So if I get Pinsirite, it's even more over for the entire game

#

I also have mons like PopBomb Pikipek

#

I would elaborate but as it turns out 3 of my mons use either Calm Mind or Quiver Dance

#

Blue Shiny Tynamo and HA on both Klawf (Regenerator) and Cetoddle (Sheer Force)

it doesn't prevent it we just wouldn't want two in a row when the second one's a straight downgrade over the first one

That's like saying Infernape being Fire/Fighting meant the next two fire starters shouldn't have that typing. 🙃

unkempt egret Dec 4, 2025, 7:20 PM

which is something we said a lot during gen 5 and the leadup to gen 6 rofl

also I know about the normal/flying streak we just accepted it since double standards and all

supple basalt Dec 4, 2025, 7:21 PM

When people were sick of the Fire/FIghtings:

Gamefreak: Aww shit Inceniroar can't be fighting type. Well we aren't redesigning it so let's make a wrestler into a dark type instead

#

XD

unkempt egret Dec 4, 2025, 7:22 PM

imo most of that was just people not wanting to directly say they were disappointed in emboar being slower than infernape and blaziken (and generally just worse since speed is The One Stat To Rule Them All a lot of the time in pokemon)

#

then again I feel like no matter what I say people will say "no actually..." so I dunno why I'm even bothering with saying anything

sweet crypt Dec 4, 2025, 7:23 PM

brisk hedge You do realize we got 5 Normal/Flying regional birds in a row, right?

That is true, but tbf why are they even Normal types to begin with

#

I mean it works in Swellow's favour at least, it can abuse Guts Facade

supple basalt Dec 4, 2025, 7:23 PM

I hate saying Emboar is the best G5 starter but it has actually being a dual type on its side

sweet crypt Dec 4, 2025, 7:24 PM

Idk

and noctowl's in-game since it can hard wall morty (especially if you get insomnia in HGSS)

This made me look at Morty's team

#

And, uh

#

Those are moves

#

I feel like any Normal type fucks this gym up like what are these moves

#

Assuming the Normal type gets a non Normal move

#

I see precisely 3 ways for Morty to damage a Normal type

#

Hypnosis Dream Eater (blocked by Substitute), Curse (blocked by Substitute) and Sucker Punch (5 PP, you just click Substitute 5 times and you win)

#

Curse doesn't work into Substitute in this generation

#

Question is, can you get Substitute by now?

... Yes, you can get an infinite amount of it even so you don't need to worry about using it up

lavish dune why does pidgeot do so little damage in rogue T_T

Because it's a Pidgeot

supple basalt Dec 5, 2025, 9:55 PM

#

Pidgeot is one of the worst route 1 birds if I remember right

sweet crypt Dec 5, 2025, 9:58 PM

#

It's hard to say who's the worst between it, Noctowl and Toucannon, tbh

#

I'd say Unfezant is certainly better than base Pidgeot just by comparing their stats

#

In Pokerogue it definitely is the worst bird

#

But its Mega is probably the best?

#

This applies to them outside of Pokerogue to, except Corviknight is certainly the best bird even then

#

What even is Gen 9's early bird

#

I've asked this before but I still don't know

#

Squawkabilly? Flamigo? Kilowattrel?

#

The latter 2 land in the upper half of early birds

#

And Sqauwkabilly is still better than Pidgeot, Noctowl and Toucannon for sure

#

And probably Unfezant too

#

Similar speed and Unfezant technically has more Attack

#

But Squawkabilly has far superior abilities

#

If I were to rank the birds, it'd be like

Man there is barely any info for me to go off for Toucannon, Noctowl and Unfezant in particular

#

Well, and Pidgeot

#

But that's because Pidgeot is a bum

#

The other 3 do usually have some place in ZU

#

But dexit makes it really hard for direct comparisons

#

Same applies to Swellow but it isn't a problem there since all I need to know is how good Swellow is compared to Staraptor

#

And I know it's slightly worse

supple basalt Dec 5, 2025, 10:14 PM

Pokerouge has a website

sweet crypt Dec 5, 2025, 10:14 PM

But Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee has Mega Pidgeot

Travis (?) uses it

sweet crypt Dec 5, 2025, 10:17 PM

#

There's Mega opportunity cost and obtainability that makes that an issue

#

There's plenty of other good Megas to use, and in general megas are late game

#

Mega Pidgeot is a very strong Mega, don't get me wrong

#

Thinking about it, I'd imagine it'd be fighting for 5th best with Mega Venusaur

#

But that does still mean there's 4 better Megas
