I would say one of which being a Flying Type Mega, Mega Zard Y

But like I cannot remember if Abilities are in LGPE

And even if they were, Mega Zard Y doesn't use Flying type attacks often anyways

But if Abilities don't exist then Mega Pidgeot falls off hard

Because its entire claim to fame is No Guard Hurricane

Corv > MPidgeot > Talonflame > Flamigo > Kilowattrel > Staraptor > Swellow >> Squawkabilly > Unfezant/Noctowl/Toucannon >> Pidgeot

I'd probably rank the birds in Singles Competitive Play like this

[terse pollen]

Pumpkin is the perfect name

[sweet crypt]

I dont have enough info to rank Unfezant, Noctowl and Toucannon effectively

[supple basalt]

Isn't that the same with Mega Medicham and Mega Mawile? That without abilities they're low key trash

[sweet crypt]

So they're sharing a spot behind Squawk, which you may be able to argue is worse than some of them?

[sweet crypt]

Yes, but in ZA their Attack stats got multiplied by 1.4×

(+40 Attack for Mega Medicham, +42 for Mega Mawile)

Which sorta helps I guess?

With that said Mega Mawile is outputting less than 2/3rds of the damage it usually does in ZA

[supple basalt]

Ahh gotcha

[supple basalt]

What's the max amount of a single vitamin a mon can have

[sweet crypt]

I think 1 for each IV?

So max 31 if you have 31 IVs

[supple basalt]

So 31, got it

XD

Good to know lol

[sweet crypt]

At least that's what I remember it being in the past

Not sure if it was changed

I mean it's not like it matters outside of Endless

[supple basalt]

I was never sure cause it's never told me no when I pile all the calcium on Delphox

[sweet crypt]

The main reason I remember this is because I remember seeing a lot of NPCs with maxed out vitamins when they only have like, 2

But I haven't seen this in a while, which is why I'm not certain if it is still the case

[supple basalt]

Valid, which yeah I guess unless you do endless the world may never actually know

[sweet crypt]

I will never do endless in the state it is currently in

[supple basalt]

Endless isn't really fun

[sweet crypt]

Did it once when I had just beaten Classic

Did it a second time for all achievements

And I won't be doing it again unless more achievements are added or Endless is improved

[supple basalt]

What irritates me the most about it is that it lets you bring more mons but you end up having to replace basically ALL of them if you don't get lucky with charms and alls

Which is BS

[sweet crypt]

What annoys me is that in late Endless you're mandated to switch to Salt Cure Sturdy/Wonder Guard/Run Away strats

That sounds so fucking boring

I ain't playing Pokerogue to click Run 500 times in a row until I get a shiny I don't have

[unkempt egret]

yea you can at least get away with just plain overleveling until about wave 1500 or 2000 or so?

I recall wave 2000 being where the regen tokens came into play which basically kills every strat that isn't passive damage (usually salt cure, but also leech seed and curse)

especially after the night shade/seismic toss + parental bond/multi lens combo got basically removed which was the other way to go into high endless

I have an endless run set up in the early 1000-1500 range but I'm not touching it until we get another shiny boosted event, probably for chrism

[proven geyser]

doing modern emerald rom, it let me randomize spawns(no final stage over baby pokemon spawns, tho), random types, moves, and abilities

i found slakoth

[sweet crypt]

Gg

[proven geyser]

limber!! ....timid

[sweet crypt]

Surely you'll find a mint later

[proven geyser]

oh def

[sweet crypt]

Or idk, catch another Slakoth

[proven geyser]

true!! the marshtomp i managed to get has false swipe

and rock smash. and flash. currently unusable out of battle, but

and is water/normal with run away.??

jolly levitate dark/poison carvanha is something i'm interested to see develop

i know sharpedo is different entirely, but currently i have aerial ace and rock tomb. no stab but least unreliable rock move is good

also skitty is fucking steel/fairy. i lowkey want to save and evolve to see what it becomes but kinda nervous

fuck it i need to prep for the future

effect spore fairy/bug. um

significnt downgrade

[unkempt egret]

WHEW

just barely beat the dragapult raid solo with a pre-baked sylveon, literally had no time left and the final PP on draining kiss

[proven geyser]

you'll never guess what solrock became. out of every avilable mono and dualtype available

[unkempt egret]

then again I also got burned somewhat early on which didn't help the timer

[unkempt egret]

water/grass?

[proven geyser]

no

nit rock/psychic, no specifically psychic/rock

[unkempt egret]

I see, so the types just swapped

tempted to say the only time I remember the first/second type matters are for cosmetic things like in B2/W2's E4 screen and what background GO normally gives you

[proven geyser]

that's how you know it was truly random

it's tru tho

[unkempt egret]

yea when I did my plando I made sure to make sure every combo got repped at least once which is not something you'd get in a normal rando

[proven geyser]

every fucking wurmple i have caught has been a cascoon variant

i'll take naive slakoth

holy shit finally cleffa evolves

bug/dragon w swarm, got some synergy but no moves

[mighty robin]

Cobblemon, whyyy

https://tenor.com/view/maushold-pokemon-family-gif-27261764

if you know you know

[proven geyser]

is. magikarp also a fucking steel/fairy

ok that outrage spinarak was bs

ok gang, water absorb ghost/dark or limber steel/psychic

former has only 1 weakness and a fourth immunity, but the latter gets recover on evo

well. now that i think abt it

as fun as the first is, the other is just so much more versatile in a game of random moves

[hidden elbow]

OH LAWD HE COMIN'!!!!!

[supple basalt]

#pokemon-winds-waves So people can avoid spoiler stuff

<3 Please

[proven geyser]

saved and loaded just to check, clefable remains bug/dragon, although it swaps them around. will probably stay as clefairy for a bit bc none of my good special tms work for it

[split yoke]

"Don't add STAB"? But... it's a sword?

Hello, pokemon sleep anyone?

[supple basalt]

[past cairn]

There's a app made by Nintendo called Pokemon sleep it tracks Ur sleeping patterns and junk and selects a Pokemon that fits

[supple basalt]

Weird

How does it know if you're sleeping lmao

[past cairn]

You like turn it on before bed

So U open the app press smth then fall asleep with Ur phone under Ur pillow

I only used it once

[supple basalt]

So defo not for someone with bad memory XD

Also sounds like something that could cause lotsa phones to overheat lol

[past cairn]

Yeah it's probably not great for Ur phones long-term battery life

But yeah this was all popular like last year I think

Maybe year before

[supple basalt]

Gotcha

[buoyant jewel]

does anybody remember the name of that one fangame or romhack thats like a online multiplayer rpg?

[past cairn]

Pokemmo?

[buoyant jewel]

Yes actually i think

theres another one too

that people always claim is better and vice versa

[civic ferry]

i remember my first pokemon shield playthrough i was stuck on the 2nd gym for like 2 weeks and when i finally beat said gym my chewtle evolved into a drednaw and i was like "...you have transformed into the species of pokemon that was annoying to deal with last gym, how DARE YOOOOUUUU"

looking back i can only remember like 4 or 5 pokemon on my original shield team (cinderace, thievul, corviknight, drednaw, and arcanine)

i think i used arcanine at least

and if i did, i know i only evolved it until right before facing leon

i also might've used pikachu? idk tho

[sweet crypt]

Well if you were using Pikachu as your Electric type that probably explains why you were stuck on Gym 2

No offence to you

But yes offence to Pikachu

[civic ferry]

yeah i was stupid and never evolved my pikachu

it wasn't even holding a light ball

[sweet crypt]

These are certainly stats

Stats that exist

They have values

[civic ferry]

sword and shield were my first games so i didn't know anything about stats and stuff

[sweet crypt]

That end up determining a Pokemon's final stat

[civic ferry]

now, i have a deep and uncanny knowledge of this game

[sweet crypt]

Seriously, one has to wonder why they gave a BABY FORM to Pikachu

Like apart from marketing I guess

[supple basalt]

So you entered the series with the 2nd worst games to exist. You should go back and play some of the 2D ones

[sweet crypt]

I have ruthlessly insulted the sheer idea of baby Pokemon

[civic ferry]

i did

[supple basalt]

So they could make the Pichu bros

[sweet crypt]

And I definitely will again if given the chance

[civic ferry]

i 100% prefer those over sw/sh

[supple basalt]

Same. The doggos cannot save Sword/Shield, though I do love them

[civic ferry]

platinum, rse, and hgss are some of my favorites

[supple basalt]

Zacian and Zamazenta tied with Dusk Lycanroc for guddest doggo

[civic ferry]

real

i like all 3

[supple basalt]

For mainline pokemon games I think Platinum, HGSS, ORAS, and PLA are my favs

[sweet crypt]

Something I can't get over in some of the older games are the movesets

[civic ferry]

alr

[sweet crypt]

By that I mean why do none of these physical Ice types have a half usable main Ice STAB

[supple basalt]

RIP to Gen 7 movesets

XD

[civic ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-very-sloth-slow-gif-15401812

gen 7 pokemon

be like:

[supple basalt]

"Give us better moves :(" - Cheeto

GIVE ROCK TYPES 100% ACCURATE PHYSICAL MOVES

[sweet crypt]

I guarantee you if Mamoswine and Weavile weren't relying on those shitty ass moves there would be so many less people complaining about Cynthia

[civic ferry]

REAL

[sweet crypt]

Ice Fang 💀

[supple basalt]

When the only two 100% rock moves are Power Gem and Accelerock it's really annoying

[sweet crypt]

Ancient Power

[supple basalt]

Oh that too

I never use it so I forgot it

It's special though so it falls into the category of useless for physical rock people

[sweet crypt]

And yknow what if you include Signature moves like Accelerock

[supple basalt]

Accelerock is the only 100% accurate move and it's ONLY learned by Lycanroc

[sweet crypt]

There's also Mighty Cleave

As well as Salt Cure

[civic ferry]

i only used it once: in my hgss soullink with my brother on my armaldo

[sweet crypt]

Learnt by Iron Boulder and Garganacl respectively

[supple basalt]

Okay that's fair. Still only learned by one pokemon lol

[civic ferry]

those are signature moves

[sweet crypt]

And Smack Down is also fully accurate

[sweet crypt]

So is Accelerock

[civic ferry]

true

[sweet crypt]

Smack Down is Smack Down

And nobody will use it outside of early game

[supple basalt]

Is Smack Down a signature move? I forgot that move existed

[sweet crypt]

Nope

Yeah I'm taking the 80% accuracy in exchange for damage that isn't akin to that of a pea's

I also should note that Power Gem's BP is somewhat lacking

Though, Rock being an amazing offensive type sorta makes up for it

[supple basalt]

It's 80 right?

[sweet crypt]

In a similar way to how Shadow Ball being a Ghost move sorta makes up for its own 80 BP

But you definitely notice the 80 BP on neutral targets at times

Same goes with Aura Sphere, Ice Spinner etc

[supple basalt]

I miss when Jolteon got Signal Beam. Idk I liked the bug move on it lol

[sweet crypt]

All moves with great offensive typing, but mediocre 80 BP

Certified typo moment

[sweet crypt]

I mean, Bug covers Grass

Which resists Electric

So I can see why you'd like that

Yknow it's actually kinda twisted, a lot of the better Rock type Pokemon use Signature moves as their main Rock STAB

Mega Diancie uses Diamond Storm

Cornerpon uses Ivy Cudgel

Iron Boulder uses Mighty Cleave

Garganacl (not an attacker really but whatever) uses Salt Cure

[supple basalt]

Dusk Lycanroc had a Lycanium-Z which made its Stone Edge 100% accurate once per battle lol

Bring the Z moves back I kinda liked them ngl

[sweet crypt]

I remember Midday Lycanroc sometimes runs Rock Blast over Stone Edge

With a Loaded Dice

And that's kinda fucked up

Rock Blast is the 2nd most used damaging non Signature physical Rock move in Singles, behind Stone Edge

Every other Rock move has 0 users btw

I remember checking

I did not see Rock Slide a single time

[supple basalt]

Rock type moves need better options. They bumped Leech Life up to 80 BP, they can bump up rock move accuracy

[sweet crypt]

That is to say, Stone Edge > Rock Slide

Stealth Rock neg diffs all other rock moves though

Oh I forgot to mention a Pokemon while listing off good physical Rock types!

Kleavor

Uses Stone Axe

I guess we always have Tyranitar

... Who sometimes drops Rock STAB for Earthquake...

I should note base Diancie is kinda ass

Mega Diancie is the main Diamond Storm user

Oh, there is Arcanine Hisui

Who actually uses a non signature Rock move 100% of the time in Head Smash

[supple basalt]

80% accurate relies on Rock Head

Wait what does Hisuian Arcanine learn Head Smash in. I don't see it in its moveset

[unkempt egret]

checks* egg move

[supple basalt]

Oh that's why I couldn't find it. I had to click to tab over to hisui on the egg moves and not just the moves page in general

[lilac elbow]

[proven geyser]

My bad

But also big rip

[unkempt egret]

I know randomizer has an option to exclude wonder guard but otherwise yea lol

[proven geyser]

not modern emerald rando lol

[unkempt egret]

(tbh I kinda wish the universal rando had like a way to exclude more abilities than just wonder guard, like in a checklist sorta way. I'd imagine the ironmon crew would love to disable Illusion and Imposter specifically since both of those basically kill that challenge in its tracks lol)

[proven geyser]

IT'S FARIRYSTEEEL????

?????

ok buddy

Wonderguard is the only ability you can get softlocked on hence why it's the only one that it gives the option to exclude

didn't get out much in GO cuz of the cold but I did just pull this in pocket

[hasty gorge]

Can anyone else agree with me that you are the professor Oak in your friend group whenever you’re doing anything Pokémon related

[sweet crypt]

Tf is that supposed to mean

[supple basalt]

[hasty gorge]

You know whenever your friends tell you like how do you evolve this Pokémon or what is this Pokémon week against?

Or like what’s this Pokémon’s typing?

And you always know the answers “you’re the professor Oak”

[supple basalt]

I just call that a fan whos knowledable in the game?

[sweet crypt]

I feel like most of my friends already know info like that

[supple basalt]

That too

[sweet crypt]

That said I do think I'm more attentive of smaller battle-related details than most

Stuff like Misty Terrain halving the damage of Dragon moves and preventing Status if a Pokemon is grounded

That said why does it halve the damage of Dragon moves if both Misty Surgers are immune to Dragon

And most Misty Terrain users are Fairy types too

[supple basalt]

Until Delphox became a regular I'd forgotten Psychic Surge blocked priority

[sweet crypt]

In fact I think all of them were Fairies in Gen 6 except like, Mew maybe? Was it a TM in Gen 6?

Idk like I said I'm more attentive to battle related details

The obtainability of a shitty move doesn't really concern me

But yeah a decent number of people miss that Psychic Surge blocks priority

And among those that know it blocks priority, a good number of those don't realise that this doesn't apply if the priority move is used vs a non-grounded Pokemon

Here's a funky thing

[supple basalt]

Glad I've had no flying sucker punchers

[sweet crypt]

Expanding Force's BP increase relies on if the user is grounded

However, Rising Voltage relies on the opponent

[sweet crypt]

That's not exactly how it works. Flying Sucker Punchers can't Sucker Punch grounded Pokemon

It doesn't disable the usage of the moves, it shields Pokemon from them

[supple basalt]

I know that

You said mons not touching the ground are immune to the psychic terrain didn't you?

[sweet crypt]

Then why the mention of flying sucker punchers if they can't sucker punch anyways?

Let me repeat, it doesn't prevent a Pokemon from using priority

It protects affected Pokemon from it

Flying Pokemon can't target grounded Pokemon with priority

But they themselves are the ones vulnerable to it during Psychic Terrain

It's a bit complicated

Just a tad

[supple basalt]

I know by the amount of mons that try and SP me on repeat. I know what it does, I thought you said floating off the ground did something

Idk

[sweet crypt]

Let me try to give an example

Let's say you're a Bombirdier

[supple basalt]

Though it does suck your own priority gets affected by Psychic Surge lol

[sweet crypt]

And you're facing like

A Hariyama

If you use Sucker Punch vs Hariyama, Hariyama is protected by the Psychic Terrain

And your Attack does 0 damage

If Hariyama uses Bullet Punch vs you, since you aren't grounded, you are NOT protected by Psychic Terrain

...Wait, does Bombirdier even learn Sucker Punch?

OK it does

Good, this example isn't stupid

Well it kinda is

[supple basalt]

OH

Okay

[sweet crypt]

Because Bombirdier should just click Brave Bird here

But whatever

[supple basalt]

So not ground = not protected by the terrain

Gotcha

[sweet crypt]

Yeah

[supple basalt]

Yeah I had the understanding flipped

Sorry

Lol

[sweet crypt]

Fun fact: The damage of Earthquake, Bulldoze and Magnitude is halved by Grassy Surge

However, they do full damage vs non grounded targets!

Yknow, 100% of 0%

Yknow

I'm sure this has mattered once

Like idk

Maybe an Excadrill Earthquaking a Mega Latias or something in Grassy Terrain

[supple basalt]

I did know that one

Electric prevents status right?

[sweet crypt]

But yeah it is pretty funny that the only time the grounded rule matters here is with Mold Breaker

[sweet crypt]

It prevents Sleep specifically

Misty Surge is the one that fully prevents status

[supple basalt]

Gotcha.

[sweet crypt]

Misty Surge is certainly the weakest Terrain

[supple basalt]

I don't use all these enough to get it memorized so there are some I know and some I don't

[sweet crypt]

I mean, it doesn't even give a damage boost

... Not that Fairy needs a buff

But still

[supple basalt]

Oh it doesn't?

....I guess that's why Fairy Aura was the passive you had to grind for and Misty Surge is free

[sweet crypt]

It also has the worst Gen 8 Terrain boosted move

Misty Explosion is nice...

If you're using suicide lead Slurpuff

Otherwise it's not too useful

[supple basalt]

Honestly

I hate explosions

Too many exploding pokemon get Sturdy

And I fucking hate it

[sweet crypt]

And then there's Grassy Glide (stupid strong priority), Rising Voltage (big fucking damage) and Expanding Force (slightly less big, but spread damage)

And you start to wonder how they thought Misty Explosion was on par with those moves

Bro wtf

OK so remember how Grassy Glide was nerfed from 70 to 60 BP?

Well uhh

God damn

[supple basalt]

Eww why

[sweet crypt]

That's a bit rude ngl

To be fair to it, this is still 71.5 BP in Grassy Terrain

71.5 BP priority is stupid

There's like, 2 priority moves with higher BP

And one only works on the first turn

3 of you include the buff given to Zippy Zap in Gen 8

That doesn't matter

Since it was both literally unusable and couldn't be learnt by anyone in Gen 8 anyways

Speaking of that, Zippy Zap's unused Gen 8 stats are fucking stupid

What the FUCK do you mean it has the same BP as Espeed and ALWAYS RAISES EVASION BY 1 STAGE

AND IT HAS DOUBLE THE PP OF ESPEED???

This feels like Gamefreak decided to just fuck around and make the most egregious move they could because it's not like anyone can use it anyways

This is higher effective damage than Gen 7 Zippy Zap

Which had 50 BP and a guaranteed crit which made it 1.5× stronger (so 75 BP)

They straight up made it better on every single front

Except for PP I guess

[cloud lark]

I feel like Expanding Force could probably stand to be nerfed if it wasn't one of the only things Psychic had to be threatening with

[sweet crypt]

Nah fuck that

Nerf Expanding Force

And make Psychic an actual threat by virtue of being a decent type

Instead of having a stupid move

[marsh viper]

What if they made psychic super effective against steel? You know... spoon bending and stuff

[sweet crypt]

Exactly

Buffs a weak type

Nerfs a strong one

[marsh viper]

Personally, I also think fairy should be weak to bug

[sweet crypt]

I'd go the opposite way

And make Bug resist Fairy

Lean into what makes Bug actually work

[broken temple]

i think every type should be weak to steel
because gun

[sweet crypt]

Since Bug does work in a few type combos, usually due to its defensive properties

[sweet crypt]

Shut up, Scizor

[broken temple]

excuse me

🏃‍♂️

[past cairn]

It would be too much of a nerf for steel it already has 3 weaknesses removing a resistance would be good but making steel lose a resistance and also gain a weakness would be too much especially with the fact like 50% of all legendaries are psychic type that would massively change the meta

[marsh viper]

Steel already has like gazillion resistances, it could stand to lose one more

[sweet crypt]

It would not be too much of a nerf I think

Considering how Psychic is frankly a bad type

[past cairn]

Yeah I'm not arguing that I'm arguing it also gaining a weakness

[sweet crypt]

And Steel is arguable for the best type

If it was a type like Ice, I'd definitely only argue for a neutrality at most

Since Ice is an actually good offensive type

[past cairn]

Yeah steel fairy and water are the 3 best typings in the game

[sweet crypt]

So it'll actually fucking matter

I'm gonna be real I consider Psychic to be a bottom 2 type with Bug

Because it just doesn't specialise in anything

It's bad on both offence and defence

[past cairn]

What about rock

[sweet crypt]

Great offensive type at the bare minimum

As with Ice

Bug is probably worse than Psychic but at least it's like, above average defensively

[past cairn]

It's good I wouldn't say great

[sweet crypt]

It's just so god awful offensively

That I think it manages to go below Psychic

[broken temple]

Normal type is best

[sweet crypt]

I dont think any offensive smaller scale buffs to Bug would change that

If one wanted to make Bug good offensively, they'd need to completely rework the type matchups for it

Which is why I think focusing on making it an amazing defensive type that is poor offensively would be the best way to buff it

As for Psychic, you could buff it either ways

Since it's only bad in both ways

Not god awful unsalvagable

But Psychic having no true strength is very visible when looking at dual types

Psychic's best type combo is just worse than all of the other types' best type combos

[brisk hedge]

Pure Normal: am I a joke to you?

[sweet crypt]

I said type combos, not monotype

Normal's best type combo, Normal/Ghost, is almost definitely better than what Psychic can muster

Like uhh

Psychic/Steel probably?

Speaking of Ghost, Ghost just does what Psychic wants to do but better while having less weaknesses, and not just in the literal sense

Which is just insulting

This also makes Ghost/Psychic a very sad type combo to have

2/4 Ghost/Psychics are able to be good regardless

And to be fair to NDW, it probably wouldn't be that bad in a vacuum

It's just

Why use it when you can use Lunala lmfao

And save that slot for a potential NDM if you want to use that

And there's certainly worse Legendaries/Mythicals than Hoopa Confined

And hey, at least it isn't Psychic/Dark like Unbound is

(Unbound is still better but it is undeniable it has the worse type)

[supple basalt]

Lol I'm out here vibing with 3 focus bands

Yess Marnie ty for the Wide Lens. Floor 121 and first Wide Lens I've gotten

[marsh viper]

IMO rock's biggest weakness is how almost no rock type moves actually have 100% accuracy. I kinda get it since it's a good offensive type and such... but still... if it ain't 100% accurate, it might as well be a 50/50

[past cairn]

Yeah ikr why tf is there only like 3 fully accurate rock moves

[marsh viper]

Power Gem, Accelerock and Smack Down are the only ones I can think of

[supple basalt]

Yeah I think this was a heated discussion at some point lmao

[supple basalt]

And Diancie's signature move I think

Iron Boulder's one as well

But in terms of moves that aren't signature moves... it's just Power Gem and Smack Down

[unkempt egret]

tempted to say diamond storm isn't 100% accurate either but I could be wrong there

[supple basalt]

Oh it's not it's 95

Thought it was 100 cause I've never in my life seen it miss

[rugged comet]

Now that you know it's 95, it will miss more

[unkempt egret]

doesn't help that I mostly know it from Masters which muddles some moves up a bit (like mud slap going from 100% accurate in main series to 95% in masters)

[glass lynx]

The game tried to hide it from me by making it invisible

[opal thistle]

My emulated Leaf Green Elite Four team.

Konami just swept Agatha’s entire team

[sweet crypt]

Mighty Cleave and Salt Cure

[unkempt egret]

I think mighty cleave was Iron Bouder's but Salt Cure is one that wasn't mentioned

I would say "lorde imagine how terrifying it would be if it was buffed into an actually damaging move like Knock Off going from 20 to 65/97.5 but then I remembered that it's still only on garg in vanilla

[supple basalt]

Huh. Stellar Tera Type... Should I get it?

Nah I'll leave it. I've always been iffy on Stellar

[sweet crypt]

No, Stellar Tera is a scam

One time boost to each seperate type is not worth it

Mainly because it's only one time

It also doesn't change your defensive type

Which sucks since defensive Tera is GOATed

The only time you use Tera Stellar is when you're using Terapagos

Or maybe if you're running Contrary Enamorus

But Serperior would prefer Tera Rock or Fire over Stellar

[unkempt egret]

yea stellar tera is basically made for terapagos and tera raid battles only (and the latter mostly because the "only one time" rule doesn't apply)

[supple basalt]

Glad I passed then lol

[onyx wadi]

Ignore my 3 am brain, but is this where I can ask about a Pokemon game more akin to Pokken or SSB? Not a fighter per se, but more on control the pokemon in real time? Not ZA, but if ZA is the closest thing, thats fine

[sweet crypt]

I mean, Pokken is a Pokemon game

Well you did say "not a fighter"

Uhh

I dont have enough spinoff or fangane knowledge to help you with that

[onyx wadi]

its more like, think adventure gamish, Infamous but with a Pokemon as a lead

again, might not exist at all, but in the chance it does besides that one Newgrounds game that is so rudementary but left me wanting for more

[supple basalt]

Like a pokemon as the player character?

There's Mystery Dungeon

[onyx wadi]

is that turn based?

i just wanna smack things around as a Mon

This one specifically is called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

It's a NDS title

It's all I could think of outside smacking things around in S/V in the DLC lol. Since it has the thing that lets you become your pokemon

[rich tundra]

POKEPARK??

[supple basalt]

NOW I can respond to thee

What's Pokepark

[onyx wadi]

x2

theres a park?

[rich tundra]

She asks what pokepark is...

Open world silly little spinoff game for the wii. There's two of them. You wander around and explore Pokepark (fun area full of pokemon and fun and whimsy) as a Pikachu and in the second one you can also be the unova starters

You play minigames and make friends

Surprisingly unrelated to the new actual Pokepark that opened in Japan

[onyx wadi]

thats... actually spot on for my son, hes 4. He'll love it

[rich tundra]

I played them so much during my childhood you absolutely bet he'll love them

[supple basalt]

That's why I've never heard of it. I never cared to play the Wii lol

[onyx wadi]

he's dead set on Charmander, we watched the first mewtwo movie the other day

[rich tundra]

Theyre Peak

[onyx wadi]

then i had to play like a 20 minute YT on the entire lore, because i cant know it all

[rich tundra]

You can make friends with Charmander so that's perfect

It was a little surprise he gave me

i was exposed to things WAY out of my age

so with him its a bit more controlled

Im so mad there's not a third game

The game is cute I'll admit

[rich tundra]

Its so cute

Its so happy

You can make friends with legendary pokemon too

And ride Rayquaza

[onyx wadi]

Oh hell naw, imma find a way to get it before the 25th

And when you make more friends in the game, you can play as them during certain minigames

#pokemon-winds-waves

[sweet crypt]

I remember like

A really REALLY long time ago

I was like

Playing Pokemon Showdown

On low ladder NatDex

And I remember playing against a Golisopod

And I was like "OK I'll just force it out with a strong neutral move"

So I click a physical move, and the Golisopod proceeds to eat the move like a 3 course meal and pulverise my ass

It was about then I realised that yeah uhh

Golisopod has 140 fucking Defence

I was pretty bad at the game at the time

Was pretty funny looking back on it

A funny thing is that this isn't the only Water/Bug type from Alola with a weirdly high bulk stat

For some reason, Araquanid has 132 SpD???

So like fuck it

Give me some stats on Pokemon that you find unexpectedly high

[delicate hollow]

Why is everyone hating the chikorita and snivy evolution line?
Nothing wrong with a supportive tank fully evolved grass starter and don't be so cruel to them cos "grass types are the weakest of the 18 types"

[sweet crypt]

Generally they perform poorer for casual play in their games

Though for challenge runs they can perform well with slower strats like SubSeed

[outer mesa]

Though like, I don’t understand why they get hate

Chikorita is definitely handicapped by some bad early gym matchups, but a smart player has a far easier time finding good teammates to balance that out that a Charmander player in R/B/Y

[unkempt egret]

thing is that most players aren't/weren't smart at 6-10 years old and they wanna one-mon army with something "cool" looking (not cute, like with chik's line)

this is also why whitney is so infamous, she's one of the only trainers outside of gen 7 that's intended to counter the One-Mon Army approach and encourage that slower, status-based gameplay you don't think about until you're older

as for snivy that was a fair bit later so probably yea just mediocre performance until it got contrary during the ORAS days

[cursive vessel]

guys is there any pokemon fan game where there are custom pokemon AND you can go for alternate story (like joining team rocket and stuff)?

[coarse estuary]

had an idea for a fun kinda nuzlocke variant. its called the regionlocke how it works is before you start the game you must pick the 2 generations you will use for the run (1 if you wanna do a harder variant) and you can only use mons that are from that gen/gens or evolve into them. some rules though to make it harder 1 if your starters in the game are not the chosen gen/gens you must replace it with a starter from the chosen gen/gens and 2 if a mon has a higher evolution from a gen you did not pick you can not use it ie you can not use roserade or magmortar if you did not chose gen 4. 3 megas count as the gen the mon from ie mega charizard is a form of charizard that means it counts as a gen 1 mon but not gen 6. regionals count as the gen the regional is introduce ie alolan golem is a gen 7 mon since the alolan golem line is introduced in gen 7.

[past cairn]

That is interesting if I was to pick I think I'd go for gen 4 it adds alot of evolutions that are great Pokemon like togekiss, roserade, magmortar, electivire ECT and also has great Pokemon introduced in gen like Lucario, infernape, garchomp ECT

Diggersby was from yesterday

[zenith nexus]

So, it doesn't say that I have to beat the Gym Leader, and since the gain is more than the loss from Fainting, does this mean I can just purposefully lose over and over to slowly raise Friendship?
This is for Gen4, for clarity

[supple basalt]

I mean that game has more reliable ways of raising friendship than just whiting out to the gym leader lol. Walking, teaching TMs (which I'm 90% sure if you have two TMs the min can learn you can just continuously overwrite it), I believe some berries and vitamins. Just using it in battle

Whiting out against a gym leader feels like a lot of effort and lost cash

[zenith nexus]

TMs are single use in Gen4

Also, for context, I'm trying to get a Buneary to evolve into Lopunny before Level 13. And the only Wild Buneary you can get in Platinum are either Level 11 or 13

[nocturne widget]

Why do you need a lopunny that early?

[zenith nexus]

It learns Return at that Level

If I don't Evolve it, Buneary learns Frustration at the same Level

[nocturne widget]

Doesn’t the game have a tm for it?

Or do you need it that early because your team isn’t good enough (just so I understand why)

[zenith nexus]

Yeah, but it's single use, since it's Gen4

If I can save the TM, I'm gonna try and do it

[brisk hedge]

You can buy more return tms at the Veilstone department store

[nocturne widget]

Oh, wait, are you early game? I thought since your catch limit is 11/13, you’d be in the early game

If your late game nvm

[zenith nexus]

I am early game

I haven't even beaten Gardenia

..can’t you just wait for now then?

its not really cringy, might be thinking of another one

it is incomplete, but still has like 100 hours of content

the cringy one might be reborn, which does have some mentions in rejuvenation, but its not a direct sequel

So that's why I said generic water pokemon color for the pink one

XD

[ashen ruin]

or not seafoam but

aquamarine

i thought it fit with the mermaidy theme

i also made the ear fins browner instead of mustard

flareon idk how i did that

i didn't change that much about it

but i saved it somehow

Umbreons gen 5 sprite looks so scared normally, i shifted the pupil up by one pixel

tweaked the ear tuft shape of flareon

Anyway

I didn't really like how shiny vaporeons eyes change to the same color

It's too much

my take on the shiny changes the amethyst eyes to sapphires

[last egret]

The greatest pokemon fangame ever made is Pokemon Uranium

Infinite Fusion is good but Uranium is a masterclass in storytelling

[tardy anchor]

Has anyone over here completed Pokemon Unbound? If yes then please help me because I am not able to trigger an important mission in the story and am basically soft locked. If anyone has completed the game before please help me and tell what I haven't done.

I am in Fallshore city and I am not able to encounter the Goons on route 10

Anyone please help the game is awesome but this thing is annoying me so much 😭

[broken temple]

hey bud
i have not played the game myself
but i did find out they have a detailed wiki page maybe check that out

https://unboundwiki.com/

[coarse viper]

alright exp all in Unbound

not bad

[tardy anchor]

are you playing with level cap or without?

[coarse viper]

level cap apparently since they stopped going above 20 rjn

[tardy anchor]

ok have u beaten the first gym?

and btw exp share to all pokemon becomes bad once you realise that quickly ur team will become so over lvled that your pokemons wont obey ur orders just because they are over the lvl cap that ur previous gym had to offer

and trust me it happens a lot faster than you would think

[coarse viper]

not yet they stopped at 20 tho so i just assume its level caped at 20 for now

[tardy anchor]

like rn my starter gabide aint listening to me

[tardy anchor]

so ur playing the hard difficulty

have u beaten the first gym?

[coarse viper]

,

[tardy anchor]

hm

tbh thats where I dropped and started vanilla difficulty

[coarse viper]

alright first gym down

i am doing it on expert

[tardy anchor]

how many pokemons did you use?

[coarse viper]

6 duh

[tardy anchor]

hmm am a bit different

[coarse viper]

fire fang Gabite and Litleo did the heavy lifting

but i will gladly throw bodies at something lol

[tardy anchor]

I dont train pokemons whome I dont intend of keeping in my team till the end of the game so yeeeah 🫠

I will capture them if they are cool

[coarse viper]

yeah you set yourself for failure with that one lol

[tardy anchor]

so I had only my gible and riolu and it was next to impossible to beat that gym with only the 2 of them

[coarse viper]

hit everything but the fluete since its tanky but does almost no dmg

once his GLoom went down it was easy

[tardy anchor]

you should really take the Ducklett I remember one of the npc in the city trade it for an ice sandshrew

tbh it was my first time trying swanna and its pretty good

[coarse viper]

i am not returing for an Ice sandshrew sooo nah

[tardy anchor]

yeah it is pretty lame but I remembered it from my first playthrough so I made sure to catch one

[tardy anchor]

thank you I finally found the mission!!!!

now I can finally progress in the story

[broken temple]

👍

[coarse viper]

the pacing is..weird

where the ef are the hm's?

[tardy anchor]

they are with random npcs and the thing is you dont even know which one its gonna be

you just have to talk with all of them and hope this one has the hm

[coarse viper]

yeah sorry that is a very stupid game design

[tardy anchor]

tbh yeah 🫠

[coarse viper]

alright Gym 2 done

[smoky gyro]

Chain kill baby

[mighty robin]

bro's a kamen rider, which is something i'm interested in

I still got an old picture of my PLA team: 41, 37, 44, 34, 28 and 32

And i still remember how i got the alpha pachirisu back in the day

watching a video of where to get it, turns out there was a rock the player was supposed to break

but apparently i didn't see the rock, so i'm like "how do i get in there", and ended up jumping up the mountain to get into the area

[supple basalt]

Lmao

[stiff inlet]

Enable hard level caps. One of my favorite unbound features cuz I hate over leveling

[stiff inlet]

It encourages you to go around and talk to everybody

[unkempt egret]

I was gonna say vanilla does that a lot in the earlier gens (mostly in 2, 4, and 5) for that exact reason lol

[supple basalt]

Which is basically a staple of any JRPGs.

[mighty robin]

The video I used also called it “Alpha Pa-cheer-ah-chu” or something that sounded kinda strange

[supple basalt]

Ehhh Tomato Tomahto

[lavish dune]

I REALLY underestimated Falkner

[unkempt egret]

ouch. at least you survived

[lavish dune]

xivali got crit and i kinda panicked

[unkempt egret]

ah

[lavish dune]

norbleorbl clutched up tho

[brisk hedge]

How did you have that much trouble against that incompetent nepo baby

[unkempt egret]

yea that 1HP survival is a thing for sure

[lavish dune]

my team is half weak to flying and my carry got crit

[brisk hedge]

Only 2 of those Pokémon are weak to flying

[unkempt egret]

from what I recall zubat only has astonish or leech life at that point?

[brisk hedge]

True, part it’s still part of the team

[unkempt egret]

yea, once you get bite though it gets at least eaiser to use

[lavish dune]

leech life and supersonic, couldnt switch it in without significant risk of it dyin tho

[unkempt egret]

also is this a nuz or a normal run

[lavish dune]

nuzlocke, skyrim theme name wise, except for valiant because i hadnt thought of it yet

[unkempt egret]

the name tutor's in goldenrod so you can either change that or keep it once you get there

[lavish dune]

ill probably use it, seeing as i forgot to nickname ratatta

[tight maple]

Im getting pretty lucky in this platinum playthrough

got a feebas which is only available on 4 random tiles in the mt coronet basement

and first try I thieved a lucky egg off a wild chansey

[tawdry niche]

doubles

more doubles games

fangames doubles pls

[delicate hollow]

I didn't know that following pokemon in HGSS with max friendship can give you a shiny leaf and I never seen or heard of these hidden items are they important?

[broken temple]

not really

its a collectable thingy it just upgrades your trainer card

adding a star

and you get a certificate ig

[brisk hedge]

I miss when Pokémon used to put in random little things like this

[tight maple]

Trying to figure out a good moveset for froslass in platinum

Mine has
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Protect

should I just ditch ice beam and go hail blizzard

Or should I replace protect with psychic or something

[full crow]

Next time ill ask here

[brisk hedge]

I’d say just replace protect. Unless you’re using a mono ice team, hail will be detrimental to the rest of your team

[tight maple]

Good point

Ill try to get enough coins for psychic in the veilstone game corner

Because I already gave that psychic tm I found to my bronzong

Unless theres like another good move I can replace protect with

[unkempt egret]

hail also requires a turn to manually set up which means that ice beam will generally outdamage hail + blizzard in the long run unless you plan on getting into a lot of doubles or running an ice team

as for coins you can also farm the rich boy/girl couple south of trophy garden if the game corner's being slow

[tight maple]

I already did that cause I was trying to get enough coins to teach my milotic ice beam

So now im just grinding with the game corner

Am I able to rematch them or something?

[supple basalt]

WHY DIDN'T I STEEL THE BERRIES GAHH

Giratina lady slurped all my sitrus berries and my mon just didn't want to steal either of the two sitrus berries on the fucking crab

[unkempt egret]

you should be able to with the vs. seeker, might take a try or two

I believe the gentleman/lady duo outside of the fence have a Roselia and a Chatot just as two single mons

the rich boy/girl inside has luxio and... I forget respectively

[supple basalt]

YESS The clown gave me two wide lens, everything's sunny side up now

[supple basalt]

Cheetos are superior to cakes

The cake is officially a lie

[tight maple]

My bronzong in platinum has
Gyro Ball
Psychic
Confuse Ray
Iron Defense

Should I change up the moveset?

[unkempt egret]

that seems fine? maybe confuse ray if you have better ways to catch wild mons

[tight maple]

Alright thank you

[tight maple]

The platinum team

[frank lily]

Honestly forgot how busted shiny hunting in Legends ZA is. I don’t even have the charm. That and these donuts go crazy

[azure quarry]

Would this be a good place to ask people to help fill out a Pokemon-themed survey for me? I'm trying to make my own version of a Pokemon Family Feud game (if you watch some of the same youtube channels as me you know where I got the idea from, lol), but any kind of Family Feud needs organic survey results. 🙂

I'm going to open-source both the web-based UI and the survey results once it's in a good state so other people can give it a shot too.

[supple basalt]

Probably not the best server for that

[azure quarry]

Fair enough.

[gleaming frost]

ok

[buoyant jewel]

||do you need to beat the dlc for access to shiny donuts?||

[frank lily]

||I can't remember but I think it's just after you beat Mega Heatran||

[buoyant jewel]

thank you!

[hardy hill]

Need someone with pokemon scarlet who help me with complete my dex. (exclusive + Trade evo)

[onyx wadi]

hey everybody

so PM Close Combat (the game) is that faux pas or can i write about it?
