I think another important thing about Rollout is that once you use it, you can't use any other move

Until you miss at least

Or if 5 turns pass

Which isn't amazing if the trainer you're fighting happens to have a Ground or Steel type

It also prevents you from switching out iirc

Which means you're kinda just a sitting duck for any fast Water or Grass type

That said, Grass is infamously rare in Hoenn

It's why Swampert is such a strong Pokemon

Well, part of why

[wheat mantle]

my rival has a water type starter btw

[sweet crypt]

The rival barely exists late game anyways

[wheat mantle]

k

[sweet crypt]

Though you may need to be careful

You said earlier that you were using Mono Rock, correct?

[wheat mantle]

i mean i am stuck to rock types

[sweet crypt]

Marshtomp is a Water/Ground type

Both of its types hit Rock for Super Effective

[wheat mantle]

my leathal enemy

[sweet crypt]

And it also resists Rock

Notably, it hits Graveler for 4× damage with Water moves

[wheat mantle]

i get past them by eather somehow outspeeding or headbut with aaron

[sweet crypt]

6× if it is below 33% health

However the last mandatory rival fight is literally just vs Marshtomp

So you shouldn't need to worry about Swampert

[wheat mantle]

neat

[unkempt egret]

late but there are also some early heart scales hidden on some of the beach routes, might be worth combing them with the itemfinder once you get it (I know the route above dewford and 109 have one, I think 105 also has one? assuming this is R/S/E and not ORAS)

[plain ravine]

What is the second best pokemon fan game, besides IF obviously?

[coarse estuary]

if is not even top 3 imo. but some good fan games i like are spork, insurgence, vanguard. uranium, this gym of mine

[brisk hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/special-ed-special-gif-14524557650897979460

[coarse estuary]

look i like pif its just not my all time favorite hack. that will always go to the hack of spork made by icecreamsandwich

[sweet crypt]

I also like PIF but I don't know if it'd be in my top 3 either

I do think it's in the top 5 maybe? Idk

Hard to say

I may need to replay some of the fangames I've played before

Including PIF, it's actually been quite a bit since I last played

[coarse estuary]

imo my top 5 are 1 spork, 2 uranium, 3 xenoverse, 4 insurgence, 5 vangaurd

[sweet crypt]

I also haven't played the new Vanguard update either which I've been meaning to, should I start over from a new savefile for it or continue with my current one?

[unkempt egret]

for me it's probably on my top 5 but then again I give more points than I should to fangames where the difficulty is generally close to vanilla's

[coarse estuary]

id say start over. i did and it was so good for a restart

[sweet crypt]

Understood

Anyways thinking about it I'm not entirely sure about top 5 either

I mean I have absolutely stupid amounts of time in Pokerogue

I'd be stupid not to put it in at least top 3

[coarse estuary]

i never cared for that one myself

[sweet crypt]

And I also really enjoyed Reborn so I probably wouldn't put it outside Top 3 either

I guess 3rd could be quite a few fangames actually

Vanguard could go there, Lazarus could go there, Elite Redux probably could too

And then that's literally already top 5 lmfao

[sweet crypt]

Tbh I think I just like roguelites a lot in general now that I think about it

I've been putting a lot of time into Slay the Spire recently

Generally the tougher fangames I'd prefer for levels and EVs to be easier to get

Which is part of why I wouldn't put Insurgence in my top 5

[unkempt egret]

I keep forgetting I'd count pokerogue as a pokemon fangame since it isn't the conventional "go through a region" game but it'd probably be on there

[sweet crypt]

Hmm... would I put Insurgence over PIF?

[coarse estuary]

insurgence would be better if 3.0 ever released

[sweet crypt]

Not entirely sure

I've noticed a lot of complaints towards Insurgence and Reborn is their stories, but if you look at how highly I regard Reborn I think you could probably piece together that I really do not care all that much

The main draw for those 2 fangames for me is the difficulty

Though due to Reborn having more QoL and just having a difficulty level that I prefer compared to Insurgence, I do like it a lot more

[smoky gyro]

Wtf is this-

[unkempt egret]

the 1-in-100 double miss?

[sweet crypt]

This is why we hate Zen Headbutt

[coarse viper]

Now this is a pull xD

[sleek zephyr]

Old screenshot from a Pearl randomizer.
Candice starts with a Manaphy? No problem, my Drapion had the nightmarish duo Dark Void/Dream Eater! (With 60 base SpAtk, don't except to score a lot of KOs)

Randomizers are fun but they quickly show their limits for the AI. Byron's Gardevoir used Horn Attack then Eruption on my Rough Skin Magcargo. 5+5 damage and 1/8 HP penalty. Wow.

(If you're asking why I remember all of this, I did a video compilation of every gym fight. Roark led with a Regice, oof!)

[sturdy sparrow]

Well I’m ticked lvled up a pawmo 6 times in a battle after walking around the track 10 times jump back on the save use a rare candy and it works

[unkempt egret]

rip

[sturdy sparrow]

Either learning new moves blocked it or the cave was lined with ever stone

[wheat mantle]

surf is a good special attack move correct?

[potent vapor]

Debating on shiny hunting the eevee you get in pokemon fore ash

[wheat mantle]

question witch of thees should i remove for surf?

[potent vapor]

Go for the one that has the least attack power thats what i always fo

[wheat mantle]

that whould be refresh cuz it is a no attacking move but it removes par poi and bur

[wheat mantle]

outher then that it is spike canon but that is a 5 diffrense to rock blast with 5 less uses

[potent vapor]

Hmmm

[brisk hedge]

Bubblebeam. You don’t need 2 water moves

[potent vapor]

True they got a point

[wheat mantle]

got more poweraswell so fair

also need to to treversal water

[wheat mantle]

tho is any of them worth switching out for dive?

[unkempt egret]

refresh is also... dubiously useful in-game when you can use a full heal for the same effect

unless this is a situation where you can't use items in which case fair enough

[brisk hedge]

It’d probably be better to use an HM mule for dive

[wheat mantle]

im a person who never wanna use items even if it kills me

[wheat mantle]

my hm mule is the one that has fly and cannotlearn dive

[unkempt egret]

in that case understandable lol

out of those four it'd probably pick bubblebeam then yea

maybe spike cannon since I'm assuming this is omanyte/omastar but that'll come later when you get coverage

[wheat mantle]

should i switch any of them for dive?

switched bubble beam with surf btw

[unkempt egret]

probably spike cannon yea since it's damage output isn't great unless it got buffed since it's 30-75 base power on a physical move

rock blast is also physical but omanyte/omastar kinda can't help that sadly

(tbh prior to gen 4 the omanyte/kabuto choice was really more "do you want a water type (omanyte) or a rock type (kabuto) in the future"

[coarse estuary]

well time to surf our way to island 2 and try to beat for my money thr 3rd hardest trial for my looplocke

[unkempt egret]

oh dear, which trial?

[coarse estuary]

the araquid trial. the only 2 trials imo that are harder atre the fire trial and the komoo trial

[brisk hedge]

Also WTF is a looplocke?

[unkempt egret]

riiight yea

tbh all of the tirals are brutal except the first one and maybe totemdemaru depending on your team set-up

[potent vapor]

I love my fire ash team

Pikachu, ivysaur, worturtle, charmelion, vulpix, growlithe

Prolly gonna change one of em for eevee

[potent vapor]

Who should i get rid of for eevee? Spitfire, vulpi or char char

[brisk hedge]

Char char

Almost missed White Reshiram raids

Forgot it was today

[potent vapor]

72 ultra balls used trying ti get ho-oh and i switch to a great ball and its cought 1 try

Pokemon fire ash been peevin me all day

My first shiny encounter was a noc battle

[terse pollen]

I didn't realize npcs could have shinies in that game

[potent vapor]

Every pokemon game can im pretty sure

Js unlucky

[unkempt egret]

rip

I think I've only ever seen it happen in Infinite Fusions and Pokerogue

not sure if it's possible on normal trainers but it is possible in battle facilities (which is where I saw it in IF) and on specific trainers (like a hiker in USUM that always has a shiny exeggcute as a nugget joke)

[potent vapor]

Most games its random cuz ik its happened to me in ultra moon aswel but failing the battle and rebattling it was normal not shiny

[unkempt egret]

I know the trainer tower in FR/LG also has a few forced shinies but I haven't done that myself

[potent vapor]

Ahh

[potent vapor]

I got ho oh and mewtwo now

[coarse estuary]

i do hope my looplocke allows my to get forced encounters of mons i usually dont end up getting

[proven valve]

idk if this is where i can ask but anyone know where i can find the gambling only rom hack? just watched a video on it from pointcrow-

nvm just found chris piches discord server through reddit to get it-

[coarse estuary]

Praise be, I beat totem araquinid deathless in my looplocke because my route 8 encounter allowed me to be able to get the Eevee egg and become a Vaporeon

[tawdry breach]

Just bought A GBA from Cex, as well as Pocket Monsters Silver and Blue

Gonna have to wait to get home to take A picture

[tight maple]

playing platinum again

which nature for sneasel would be better, Adamant or Jolly?

Asking because I have both

[inland crane]

Nintendo please cancel if you are making a remake and just give us a sequel to either Unova or Kalos 🗣️

[delicate hollow]

What is the strongest dual typing is it Dragon and Steel or Steel and Fairy?

[coarse viper]

Gg another fangame beaten

[broken temple]

now beat all the challanges

[coarse viper]

in due time xD

[broken temple]

one day ill complete mine

[broken temple]

AYYY

[north vessel]

yooooo crazy

[broken temple]

thats a very neat mimikyu

the shiny is awasome

[north vessel]

I think my shiny dedenne is similar lemme check

btw a great mon to have, 120 attack, of special cathegory, before stab,

and also fake out and the reviving move lol

Yuh similar colors

I wonder if all pikaclones are like that lol

[sweet crypt]

Steel/Fairy, Steel/Ground, Ghost/Fairy, Fairy/Ground etc all have a good claim to be best

Though the most common opinion is that Steel/Fairy is the best

[supple basalt]

Steel/Fairy 100%

Normal/Ghost also pretty good but Dragon/Steel and Dragon/Water pretty good too

[sweet crypt]

A lot of the types that have some claim to being the best are a combination of one or both of Fairy, Steel, Ghost, Ground and Water

Because y'know

These are literally just the top 5 types in the entire game

[supple basalt]

Four of those types have immunities which is always a w

[sweet crypt]

Probably not in that order but still

The main thing that makes me doubt if Fairy/Steel is Number 1 is that it isn't amazing offensively

It's probably the Number 1 candidate that is the worst offensively

But it's certainly the one that's the best defensively

Since all the other top defensive types like Steel/Grass aren't good enough offensively to be considered for Top 1

[coarse viper]

who is gonna win a lvl 35 steelix or a lvl 27 Quagsire with surf?

answer the level 27 Quagsire btw

barely an inconvenience

[sweet crypt]

Steelix has low SpD and a Water weakness and mediocre Attack so I can't say I'm shocked

Especially since one of its STABs is resisted

[coarse viper]

on a very related note
i very much hate Johto mapping

[unkempt egret]

splits itself after the fourth gym and breaks its level curve as a result lol

then again johto very much feels like an entirley different game from what ruby/sapphire set as the standard for the next 5 gens moving forwards

[flat kettle]

guys I cant belive my luck (know that I never caught a shiny in my life exept in legend arceus) I go into leafgreen and find a shiny geodude like five encouters after the first badge (I killed it due to a critical hit 😭 ) and now I got a shiny bidoof in fusion for my third encouter (with a shiny shinx in arceus too) all of that in the same day

[coarse viper]

going pretty good so far

[thorn token]

I'm trying so hard to like Mankey, but it ain't working.

[coarse viper]

can this dragon bish stop critting??

why is she critting 5 times in a row??

God i forgot how salty she is

[dull crow]

does it really need even more speed in single player?

[brisk hedge]

Remind me again why she still has her job

[dull crow]

so shes saying hses unqualified for her position?

[coarse viper]

Uhh the other dragon trainer is Lance and he is above her

[coarse estuary]

due to the power of friendship and luck we are almost out of island 2 deathless. all we got left that is scary are plumaria 1 and olivia

[brisk hedge]

So thanks to the power of the protagonist is what you’re telling me

[coarse estuary]

well not really more so the fact ive gotten lucky on what mons ive gotten thus giving me access to the types i need to make the loops the best

[brisk hedge]

#pokemon-winds-waves

[next moon]

Alright hold on

[split yoke]

Uh... Well, I'm not sure where to post this. But I found this result to be funny

[terse pollen]

It's got feathers

idk what to tell you man

[coarse estuary]

what loop should i use for the ula ula hau fight? these are all my options vikavolt is my chosen

[delicate hollow]

Bit random but who other than Mew Celebi and Jirachi has 600 BST and 100 on every base stats?
Shaymin (regular form) Manaphy and Victini?

[unkempt egret]

I believe so, they kinda stopped after Victini since that's about when all 100's stopped being above-average

also maybe miltank and ivysaur/venusaur if you train em up?

[ember flame]

Made it to lavender town
Can’t wait to explore this lovely looking town
I’m sure nothing can go bad

[coarse estuary]

i just LOOOOVE that mudbray cant be a legal encounter. just adore the fact i cant get a good mon as my encounter

[unkempt egret]

wait what happened with mudbray?

[coarse estuary]

nothign happened with it, im just salty it cant be a mon i can catch since i dont have ground on my roster for my looplocke

[unkempt egret]

aaah I see

now that you mention it I don't think I've actually used mudbray before in a run?

[latent cave]

i dont think im ever going to get a shiny litleo lol

[analog timber]

what game is that?

[coarse estuary]

Looks like anil

[coarse estuary]

decided to remake this

[terse pollen]

Lots of sleeper picks here, I'm impressed

[coarse estuary]

these are all the mons i have as options. what loop should i bring on my treck to guzma 2?

[unkempt egret]

you have two waters and I know there's a ||vikavolt|| coming up so

wait I'm thinking of 3

for guzma 2 that team should be perfectly fine but moving forwards I'm not sure?

you can throw in Klefki to link between primarina and togedemaru

so it'd be water -> water/fairy -> fairy/steel -> steel/electric -> electric/bug (vikavolt) -> bug/water (either golisopod or araquanid, both work) then back to water

[coarse estuary]

well vika is my chosen so it can be whatever the heck it needs to, this is just all the mons i got as options. put 2 on the team so i could fit everything into 1 ss vapo and prima and toged arent on my squad

[unkempt egret]

chosen?

ah

[candid badge]

does anyone know how i can play that revamp platinum game renegade platinum or whatever its called

[coarse estuary]

by patching your legal rom of platinum with the patch

[candid badge]

idk how to that im new to this

[candid badge]

@coarse estuary do you have a link?

[thorn token]

That wouldn't be something you link to here. Whatever website you're using would walk you through how to do that but there is no file sharing or sharing resources to illegally hosted ROM's here.

[candid badge]

sorry im just new to this rom stuff

[thorn token]

Google is your friend on that

Or Reddit

[gleaming frost]

the soudntrack

[ember flame]

The soundtrack is creepy I will admit, but nothing to bad yet, I haven’t talked to any of the npc’s yes

[gleaming frost]

no its fire

[unkempt egret]

also being 6-10 years old when playing makes a lot of spooky things spooky

[gleaming frost]

makes a lot of spooky things spooky

also being 6-10 years old means you can't form basic sentences

[coarse viper]

well hello there
Idk how rare it is in soul silver but i will take it

[broken temple]

i think its like a 10% or 15%

i remember skarmory was a pain to find

[coarse viper]

well i feel lucky getting it in 5 min xd

[broken temple]

good for you

you got one of the better jhoto pokemons

[coarse viper]

Lugia sucks balls to catch without the Master Ball!

[golden agate]

Y'all have any other recommendations for fan games? I've played this and unbound

[coarse viper]

i played pokemon Evolved (Gen 1 only mons but they keep on evolving 2 more stages for most mons with custom art filled with custom entries so that's cool definetly recommend)
and Chaos Black..but i don't recommend that one

[golden agate]

Alright I'll check those out

[gleaming frost]

is it same catch rate as raikou and suicine

cuz i caught th pretty easily

[unkempt egret]

Super Mariomon is always good, I've heard good things about the two TMT games but they aren't my cup of tea

[coarse viper]

Gg

caught the stupid Lugia

omg

[coarse estuary]

please let me strangle fabas hypno to death

[coarse viper]

giving the legendary roaming pokemons Roar! was evil

Can this bloody Paralized one hp Raikou STOP spamming roar!??

[brisk hedge]

This is why we use the master ball on roaming legendarys

[coarse viper]

i did on Entei

xD

[brisk hedge]

Ah. That is a problem

Good thing you’re not playing FRLG, otherwise that Raikou would be gone forever

[coarse viper]

Got him!
Fking jesus allmighty!

[brisk hedge]

Thank Arceus that roaming legendarys aren’t a thing anymore

[unkempt egret]

yea I think B2/W2 was the final game that had full roaming legends?

XY had the birds but they auto-fled when you saw them then after enough times you'd have a proper fight in a specific cave

so thankfully only a gen 2-5 issue

[pastel jacinth]

Bad bitches play Cobblemon

[coarse estuary]

ok good for you

[frank lily]

Everything past Stunfisk hasn’t been posted yet

[coarse estuary]

if i was to post the rules and my alive mons would anyone be willing to help me team plan for totem kommo-o in my utra sun looplocke?

[unkempt egret]

I could probably give it a shot?

[coarse estuary]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bnlnuXELvelHZLKh3heU0Y1Zd9-LI7g_wP_dITjrQ5o/edit?tab=t.0
here are the rules and the mons i have. i got all mons i could potentially get accept 4. 3 more encounters then the gift surfchu

[unkempt egret]

so some mons that stand out for that matchup include A-Ninetales, Whimsciott, Ribombee, and to an extent Klefki for the x4 (x2 on the first turn I think) fairy damage

I'm not sure if Noivern or Scizor is summoned first?

the scizor does have Bullet Punch though so all but Klefki will be hurting if it's chosen and even it's not too happy there

[coarse estuary]

yeah im hesitant to wnna bring fairies because it has pjab and roselli berry and noi would be first

[unkempt egret]

right

in that case you could run something with good physical bulk like Slowbro (if you can evolve it) or A-Muk if you're willing to do some EV training

a cheeky strat would be using Masquerain's intimidate to neuter it's physical attack automatically (so +1 becomes =0 just for showing up, and lower if you can pivot out of the probably thunderpunch/air slash which togedemaru can do well if you're willing to take that risk) , or run Malamar and see if you can get a Topsy Turvy off

[coarse estuary]

i could run malamar but iirc it cant take a drain punch without dying so id have to waste my 1 f sash to do that and i wanna save my f sash for ultra necro

[unkempt egret]

Talonflame might also be willing to go for a fast burn since it also lacks a lum berry (or any way to heal that)

jellicent can also do that but probably takes a lot from thunderpunch or dragon claw and WoW isn't 100% accurate (then again it also isn't on talon)

[coarse estuary]

i could talon but without any other fires id have to chosen vika to be a fire type

[unkempt egret]

crobat can also run haze to get an immediate minus all drop but I forget when golbat learns that

actually hang on let me check somethin

dang my nuz info's giving me a 404 on the totem stats, gonna look a bit further since I wanna see what the exact speed value is

Thank you pokecommunity! one second

ok so your opponent looks like about this

(don't ask why it's calm with an all-physical moveset, some of the movesets were just funky like that)

so if you don't plan on dropping its speed, 155 is what you'll need to outrun it

not gonna fully put in scizor and noivern but here's their sets

Scizor (Lv. 46) (Nature: Brave) (Moves: Light Screen/Pursuit/Bullet Punch/X-Scissor) IVs: 15/15/15/15/15/15 EVs: 0/0/0/0/0/0
Noivern (Lv. 48) (Nature: Timid) (Moves: Boomburst/Screech/Dragon Pulse/Air Slash) IVs: 31/31/31/31/31/31 EVs: 0/0/0/0/0/0

[coarse estuary]

not accounting evs how much damage would a level 50 adamant crobat do to it with acrobatics with 0 attack ivs and would it out speed with its 13 speed ivs?

[unkempt egret]

this is gonna be an odd request but can you show me crobat's stat screen?

as it's posted though

Lvl 50 0+ Atk 0 IVs Crobat Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. +1 Lvl 49 120 HP / 138 Def Kommo-o: 56-68 (34.5 - 41.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Lvl 50 252+ Atk 0 IVs Crobat Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. +1 Lvl 49 120 HP / 138 Def Kommo-o: 74-90 (45.6 - 55.5%) -- 59% chance to 2HKO

[coarse estuary]

this is what pksm has it at while its still at level 25 in my box

[unkempt egret]

that being said

+1 Lvl 49 0- Atk 1 IVs Kommo-o Thunder Punch vs. Lvl 50 0 HP / 0 Def Crobat: 82-98 (51.2 - 61.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

aight I can work with that

so if you're super percise you need at least 108 speed EVs to get to 155 base speed

that is enough for you to still get to 252 attack comfortably and throw the rest into HP

seems like haze is at level 40 so you will get access to it

Lvl 49 0- Atk 1 IVs Kommo-o Thunder Punch vs. Lvl 50 132 HP 28 IVs / 0 Def 23 IVs Crobat: 58-70 (33.1 - 40%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO
Lvl 50 252+ Atk 0 IVs Crobat Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. Lvl 49 120 HP / 138 Def Kommo-o: 110-132 (67.9 - 81.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
after haze you're not quite there but that is a lot you're doing on future turns

alternatley you could gamble on another move: Screech

[coarse estuary]

is haze worth it and as for the evs i can just edit my evs in pksm manually so i dont have to grind for em

[unkempt egret]

Lvl 50 252+ Atk 0 IVs Crobat Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. -1 Lvl 49 120 HP / 138 Def Kommo-o: 164-194 (101.2 - 119.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

...nvm that's move relearner only

[coarse estuary]

only problem with having to 2 turn kill it is will the noivern deal enough damage to kill the crobat? if it does no big deal

[unkempt egret]

yea I think two thunderpunches into whatever noivern does probably will KO even outside of the worst case of getting paralyzed but dropping its stats will help out a lot moving forwards in the fight

[coarse estuary]

alternatively i could just lead it to 2 ko it with acro then sack it to noivern the turn i kill the komo then go into something else to kill the noivern

[unkempt egret]

the issue with that is

Lvl 50 252+ Atk 0 IVs Crobat Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. +1 Lvl 49 120 HP / 138 Def Kommo-o: 74-90 (45.6 - 55.5%) -- 59% chance to 2HKO

it's a 59% chance but that's still a gamble

so basically it's a choice of either gambling on a clean 59% 2HKO or going with a safer strat of nerfing the kommo-o and taking a good 80% away from it in turn

[coarse estuary]

my only worry with the haze strat is it will allow noivern to end my run by wiping my whole team

[unkempt egret]

the latter does also have the benefit of allowing your other teammates to breathe easy as most of the faries can easily pop kommo-o- from that point

the noivern is boomburst/air slash/dragon pulse/"oops the kommo-o is gone" so thankfully your only major worry there is if you get flinched too many times in a row, most things with decent special defense should be able to handle it if not stall it out

[coarse estuary]

true but i would have to loop plan around that

[unkempt egret]

. if you're super concerned about air slash running protect + lefties on something bulky (eyeing that jellicent in particular) can possibly carry you through that part

[coarse estuary]

im not too worried bout the noivern though now its just loop plan time

[unkempt egret]

noivern is also amusingly slower than the kommo-o at 150 base speed so some of the fairies might actually be able to outrun it with EV investment

hope that helps and wish you well on the fight regardless of what path you take

[coarse estuary]

i will certanly try to do that though idk how id make the loop to make it work tbh

[coarse estuary]

@unkempt egret we did it. we made it to ultra necro with only needing to sack the cro.

[unkempt egret]

nice nice, which strat did you go with?

[coarse estuary]

i did end up hazing it up. then after the cro died i used alola muk to win it out

and now i can comfortably get to ultra necro and use fear cate alola

[naive bridge]

Which do y'all think is best between Pokemon Uranium, Pokemon Insurgence, and Pokemon Xenoverse?

[coarse estuary]

depends what you want in a pokemon game

all are good for their own reasons

[naive bridge]

Which would you say has the most content?

[coarse estuary]

either insurgence or xenoverse

but id recommend playing all 3 at some point

I really dont care cause Grinding sucks balls and its just one playtrough that i will do ever soo

+i did not spend 2 and a half hours catching a Raikou alone just to not use them

[unkempt egret]

especially in HGSS which has some of the worst grind in the series

[unkempt egret]

I was gonna say looking at that screenshot I'm wondering if that rain is aesthetics or if it's the battle condition

[wide sigil]

i need more heart scales

my team finally feels strong

guys

zapdos is going craazy

help

my palifin wont be of much help here

oh boy

[supple basalt]

Lesson: Don't have just one good Pokémon

😂

[wide sigil]

dear god nidoking

[supple basalt]

He doin his best

Is that an actual shiny or did they just use the shiny as the normal Galarian Zapdos

[wide sigil]

they just used it as the regular color for the guardians

all 3 of them

that wasnt

too hard

nidoking got the first health bar down

and liligant got the second

[supple basalt]

Gotcha. That's sad I really like the colors of Galarian Arcticuno

The shiny is great but the purple is so pretty

[wide sigil]

yeah i kinda just wished they were the regular ones

from kanto

since lugia is still the master of them so it doesnt make much sense that they are galarian

[supple basalt]

Or both. Maybe Kantoian versions could be like the first guardian, kinda like a mini boss and the Galarian ones could have been the bosses

[wide sigil]

lugia is dripped out tho

[supple basalt]

Please tell me that guy is just a huge fan and they didn't make Lugia human

[wide sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-versus-vs-alien-strange-mob-gif-12413747667150461911

well hes forced to be a human

[coarse estuary]

well time to do a casual run what pokemon game should i do? leaning away from gen 5 since i play that one so much

[wide sigil]

heh

i gotchu

wait you wanna do main line or fan game

[coarse estuary]

id prefer main line just because i cant play fan games on my 2ds or ds

[supple basalt]

Platinum :D

[wide sigil]

i was about to send you to gen 1

[supple basalt]

Or B/W

[wide sigil]

he literally said no gen 5

[supple basalt]

😂

Oh I didn't see that

Platinum then

[wide sigil]

diamond.

[rugged comet]

they made several legendaries human

[wide sigil]

[rugged comet]

Well

[wide sigil]

erm

[supple basalt]

I don't like that

[rugged comet]

Able to change between human and pokemon

[wide sigil]

[supple basalt]

Lol

[terse pollen]

What game is that? Looks cool

what who said that

[supple basalt]

Lets not fam

[wide sigil]

zapdos said shell become stronger than lugia

i was about to say she already is cuz of typing

then remembered

fighting flying

[supple basalt]

She's also genderless

[wide sigil]

well shes called a she

[supple basalt]

nothing wrong with being correct to Pokémon lore

[wide sigil]

my team

lwk stacked

arctovish hasnt done anything yet tho

only got one shot

ALSO

zapdoses human name is zaza

man

im canonicaly a coward in this game

scared of the sea AND heights

my mechanical heart keeps healing me out of zen mode

[analog timber]

Strong Jaws is a base ability isn't it?

[hushed granite]

uhhhh i suck at drawing but what do you think of my mega garganacl desing

[latent cave]

i wish i didn't have to go 100+ encounters in Añil just for a shiny but oh well

[supple basalt]

It looks like Stakataka

No like fr Stakataka would make a good Mega Garganacl tho

[coarse estuary]

i wanna try and do a platinum casual run. any tips other than hacks or not using a starter to make it more enjoyable for me?

[tawdry breach]

Does anyone know what Emerald means by, “Internal Battery has run dry,”?

Why can it be played if it doesn’t have any charge???

[north vessel]

you guys hate peak so much.

no but it's genuinely fun, if any of you haven't tried it you should a little bit at least

it's good even when being league-adjacent and having tencent in it

[supple basalt]

I don't like games that don't have a single player option

I prefer multi to be an option not a requirement

So that's a big fat no for me

[unkempt egret]

basically anything that uses the internal battery will no longer function. This primarily affects any time-based events so they will be frozen, so things like the Berry Trees will no longer grow and Shoal Cave will be stuck on whatever tide it was when the battery ran dry

if this was ruby/sapphire it would also affect the RNG pretty majorly but in emerald that comes pre-bugged right out of the gate on that one (and if you weren't Under-The-Hood you wouldn't super notice it thankfully)

aside from that you should still be fine to play, just keep those time-based things in mind

[tawdry breach]

Can’t believe Hoenn’s going through A famine now

[unkempt egret]

and also possibly either eternal night or eternal day depending on when it froze

[sweet crypt]

IF doesn't stand for Infinite Fusion

It stands for Infinite Famine

[coarse estuary]

Or you just hate that we don't have the exact same opinions as you and can't comprehend that

[sweet crypt]

Tbh the main reason I dislike Unite is because every single time 3 of my teammates try to jungle

Without fail

And then manage to lose a 4v1 quicker than I lose a 1v4

[topaz void]

N is better than everything to me btw

[tawdry breach]

Ah yes, the Infinite Fusion Hoenn rumour (Wrong channel but sure.)

[sweet crypt]

What, do you expect me to forward that message to #pif-hoenn-discussion to make the joke there instead of here?

[tawdry breach]

https://tenor.com/view/meta-runner-lamar-meta-runner-lamar-argument-i-withdraw-my-argument-argument-gif-26344632

[coarse viper]

yeah i am not sure how people enjoy Gen 2 so much...Red just being straight up 80 with his mons while the grinding areas around being a max of 50 is just..Dickish

[latent cave]

gen two was fun, sure it was difficult but i mean thats what made it fun

[coarse viper]

it is difficult for the wrong reason

its not dificult because the team combos of the enemy trainers are well thought out
its because you are either underleveled or overleveled with no inbetween

its horrendusly unbalanced

[echo hill]

Lore wise it sorta makes sense

Hes been training up there for three years

[coarse viper]

yeah except that the mons around him are weak af by comparison

[latent cave]

you just said that and i quote "the grinding areas around being a max of 50" so training for 3 years to strengthen his mon does in fact make sense

[sweet crypt]

Difficulty because you're stupidly underleveled isn't exactly the sort of difficulty that I'd praise as good game design

[coarse viper]

no it in fact doesn't because this implies that the wild pokemon around him just stagnated and didn't fight one another as he just grinded

if you all wanna use the lore wise approach Pokemon fight each other a lot

[sweet crypt]

Also if Red really was grinding for 3 years, he fucking sucks at it, because ain't nobody gonna grind for 3 years and still not be at level 100

From the lore perspective they should've gone all in and made him Level 100

From the game design perspective they should've drastically lowered his levels compared to what they are now

[coarse viper]

if people don't like Ultra Necrozma being overleveled compared to the last lore check point then they should not excuse Red either

[sweet crypt]

If anything, Unec is far more excusable because it's a single Pokemon

That said it is a single Pokemon with over 700 BST and an Omniboost

But still

Unec is also a lot less overleveled than Red is

[echo hill]

Bro gen 2 was their second game

[coarse viper]

and?

its by far a worst design than just Kanto

[echo hill]

Didn’t have much experience balancing yet

[coarse viper]

Kanto was before gen 2
sure Kanto xp grinding was not a whole lot better BUT at least the levels differences were not this horrendous and there are some solid spots to grind in Kanto

[echo hill]

You don’t learn to perfectly balance after just one game

[coarse viper]

i also hate that argument
Is their second game
So? they playtested this and gave such headaches the green light

and if they didn't playtest then thats just bad

[echo hill]

Was there that much playtesting back in 1999

[coarse viper]

even then its a second game
making the exp grind worse than the first should not be excused

[echo hill]

Im not gonna say they didn’t fuck up with the grinding im just saying it’s not as bad compared to it happening nowadays

[coarse viper]

it is

because they had a game prior to that and data to work with

also every dev plays their games at least once

[sweet crypt]

This is also true

It doesn't mean it isn't poorly designed for today's standards

But it was made a long time ago, as the 2nd game in the series

It is a lot more balanced than Gen 1 though lmfao Gen 1 is a balancing nightmare

Ghost was supposed to hit Psychic for SE

It instead doesn't do any damage to it

This sounds important

[coarse viper]

when it comes to anything but exp sure

exp wise tho not really

[sweet crypt]

Until you realise that Gengar Lick isn't favoured to 3HKO Abra even assuming the glitch didn't exist

Lick is the strongest non-fixed damage Ghost move in Gen 1 btw

And Night Shade ignored immunities back then

So Ghost doing 0 damage to Psychic instead of hitting it for SE literally didn't matter competitively

This glitch is irrelevant

Even though if such a glitch were to happen in any more reasonable game (y'know like literally every other game in the series) it'd be meta warping

Well except maybe like Gen 2 or something

I can't really think of a single Ghost move user there either

And tbf it wasn't too common in Gen 3 either though there definitely were users

Early Pokemon is kinda just a bit

Weird

Mainly Gen 1 and 2, especially Gen 1

[wide sigil]

like how i can just

look a legendary bird right in he eyes and

spit my shit

and now im fighting it

i won

[analog timber]

what game is that?

[coarse viper]

alr! beaten red...

[wide sigil]

Reminiscencia

I said i would play flux today

BUT ITS SO ADDICTIVE

I cant stop playing this

10/10 game

If i ranked all the fane games ive played this month

Hm

1st is pisces

S tier mc design

Greak fakemon

Bunch of new cool abilities

[coarse viper]

alr the league rematch is also over soo i am done with Soul silver

[wide sigil]

Great

[wide sigil]

Now go play pisces

Its gba btw

[coarse viper]

ik

[wide sigil]

Idk how this is a rom hack

It looks nothing like emerald

So im not counting it as a rom hack suffer

[coarse viper]

from where do i download it btw?

pokeharbor?

[wide sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-madebynami-cat-think-car-think-cat-silly-gif-10256431613308407309

Yeah i got it from harbor

I think

I should beat wattson already

I need surf

For my final team member

[coarse viper]

oh no exp all

kinda lame

[wide sigil]

There is

You get it early

Just not from the start

Pretty sure its before the first gym

[coarse viper]

ah okay then

[wide sigil]

What starter did you pick

[wide sigil]

Hes my personal least favorite but theyre all cool

[coarse viper]

i am not sure i like that the gym is a gauntlet now

[wide sigil]

It was annoying for me too at first

[coarse viper]

well first gym down i guess

[wide sigil]

You can get toxexot that early?

Didnt know

[unkempt egret]

late but imo red is at the very least a postgame superboss while ultra necro is maingame and required, but you can also say the same thing about the E4 in Kanto (and sinnoh to an extent) in terms of being overleveled

that being said ultra necro I feel is more of a visual on why Huge Single Targets generally don't work in this series unless it's given special treatment like Eternamax or Rogue Megas

since it almost always either sweeps your team or does nothing because you found Cheese that works on it (Zoroark, FEAR, toxic) I have seen some fair fights on it but they're very much the minority I feel. there's a reason I vastly prefer Lusamine 2 in that slot, Pain Split Spam aside

also yea gameplay and story segregation is strong with this series, especially with the main series games

[wide sigil]

Phione calls her busty bird

[wide sigil]

Its peak amirite

[coarse viper]

eeh

not really

[coarse viper]

in fact the puzzles are straight up annoying and stupid

and the gauntlets of the gyms is just obnoxious so far

Eeyyy we really are the same

Not really fighting more so me telling the other person your opinion is valid and they can't force you to like something you don't

ik i just did an alola locke but i really enjoyed playing alola so im doin an alola casual run and ima even use a non alola starter as my starter this casual run

[mighty robin]

Ultra Moon, outdated screenshot. I’m at Vast Poni Canyon now. I’m thinking of swapping out the Arbok for a Golbat/Crobat or a Sableye. I don’t really care about type overlap, but anybody got suggestions for which pokemon to replace Arbok?

Originally, I was gonna name my pokemon after members in the server, but I’ve since changed that

[inland crane]

Go back to route 1

Catch grubbin

Vikavolt is cool

[ancient crown]

yeah vikavolt is a cool pokemon

[gleaming frost]

no

fuck vikavolt

lol

lol

🤣

[brisk hedge]

TF did Vikavolt ever do to you?

[gleaming frost]

vikavolt

reminds me of

vikstar

i dont like vikstar

[broken temple]

difinition of brainrot

[ancient crown]

lmao

[brisk hedge]

The only problem with using a Vikavolt is that it would take a lot of grinding to catch it up to the rest of your team at this point

[mighty robin]

tho I was originally gonna do some kind of nuzlocke for encounters, blah blah blah, not technically the exact nuzlocke catching rule, prob just playing the game for fun now

[wide sigil]

all of you

go play reminisencia

[mighty robin]

but I’m already inside the canyon, so I’d have to get out and fly back to where grubbin is to catch one

and technically the question was golbat/crobat or sableye

[brisk hedge]

I don’t think either of those are a good option either, since Crobat would give you 3 flying types and Sableye isn’t, well, good

[mighty robin]

true, lel

[coarse estuary]

no

[wide sigil]

why tho

[coarse estuary]

because i dont want to and you cant force me to

[wide sigil]

fine dont play peak

[coarse estuary]

you really need to stop this mentality of trying to force people to play/like things you like

[wide sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/choso-jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-funny-gif-9003947270735663418

you kind of sound like granny

[coarse estuary]

dont care. you will learn one way or another that trying to force people to like/play what you like will have negitive consiquences

[main rune]

Be nice everybody

And if someone says they don’t want to do something or don’t agree with your opinion, respect that.

[glacial moat]

where do I go fto get other romhacks?

[coarse estuary]

their discords

[glacial moat]

where can I finds them?

because it took me like 3 hours to find this one

[coarse estuary]

just google the hack you wanna play then discord

[unkempt egret]

Pokecommunity is a decent source if you don't have a specific hack in mind

[inland crane]

Time to get my 2nd mythical in this save (hopefully)

[brisk hedge]

What was the first mythical?

[inland crane]

Keldeo gift

Now have to catch victini

[tame lintel]

What did you use as emulator pls just for know

[inland crane]

Melonds

[tame lintel]

Thank you

[inland crane]

Anyways hint 4 future, dont take on mythicals with an single ultra ball

[tame lintel]

Do you know a emulator for Nintendo 3DS for Android or no

[inland crane]

Azahar

[tame lintel]

Thank you again

[inland crane]

Finally 😭

[glacial moat]

thank you

[potent vapor]

I did not just get warned for tryna send 3 screenshots tf

Ok well without the screenshots then stupid shi

All 3 shiny pokemon i found in fire ash have been in trainer battles 😭💔

[supple basalt]

Oooo

Lookit that KFC. So fancy

[sweet crypt]

Man I haven't played Pokerogue in a while

I mean

Beating every type and region challenge while using a randomised team was pretty cool and idk what else to do now

[coarse estuary]

me when i do some trolling and make my usum casual run starter fenniken

[supple basalt]

This woman has ruined my candy grind twice in as many runs in a row. And she isn't even giving me shinies >:0

[sweet crypt]

Just kill her or something idk

What are the odds she gets a box art that ACTUALLY beats Zacian?

[supple basalt]

On the second Zacian evolved into Zamazenta 😂

It was really funny

More zama candies but I'm not hunting his shiny atm

[sweet crypt]

Who should I use rn

Because I sure as hell don't know

A lot of what I do want to use, I don't currently have their passive or an important egg move yet

And then there's the babies which I imagine will have an absurdly miserable early game

And I need to use them to evolve them

There's some that can handle themselves but I've already done runs with those sorts of babies

I could do a run and just drag something that I need the HA for along

Like Spinda or something idk

[sweet crypt]

Doing a Hoopa run and of course the evil team is Team Skull

I love Terastalisation

[supple basalt]

Guzma says it's free real estate

[sweet crypt]

I'll just Tera on his ass and he'll fold like anyone else

[supple basalt]

Get him >:)

They took Genesect off his team so he's not as hard now. Genesect was what made him a nightmare

[sweet crypt]

Yo the rival's team is actually fucking scary rn

[supple basalt]

Oh?

[sweet crypt]

Archaludon, Corviknight, Rillaboom, Gardevoir and Ceruledge

[supple basalt]

Oh shit yeah that's scary

[sweet crypt]

Thankfully Archaludon isn't Sturdy

Worst case scenario I may have to swap to Flamigo to handle the rival

Flamigo forces Gardevoir to switch in so I get a free Victory Dance and outspeed and OHKO it, which gets me a Moxie boost

Though idk if +2 is enough to OHKO Mega Ray

This mf Golisopod just almost OHKOd me with a crit

I hate crits

[supple basalt]

I hate them too

Unless I'm the one dealing them

[sweet crypt]

Yo this is pretty cool

Y'know if you ignore the fact that I am most certainly OHKOing this mf

I hate Sand Veil

Just missed 4 times in a row vs a Sandslash and almost died

[supple basalt]

Lol I've OhKoed legendaries...

[sweet crypt]

Sandslash is the most scary Pokemon so far in this run

[supple basalt]

Mainly Verizion because I couldn't be asked to even try cause I know that fucker has CC

And I don't care for the Pokémon itself

Really don't like it or its pals

[sweet crypt]

Evasion boosting HAS to be like the worst thing in Pokemon ever

[verbal tundra]

So someone is playing a fire red romhack I made and apparently Im just finding out that one of the quirks of fire red is that Non Kanto Pokemon cannot evolve until the national pokedex is unlocked. So he cant evolve his starter Wooper and the third starter Torchic is basically stuck as Torchic lmao

[sweet crypt]

Shit has me crashing out so hard I used Shell Smash vs a Maractus

Which could've killed me

Because it gets Pin Missile

But thankfully it used Solar Beam instead

[craggy smelt]

So I caved and bought a gen 9 game to play ladder, I assume I’m just going to have to deal with the abysmal frame rate for the entire playthrough?

[supple basalt]

Got a safari zone event and not only did I get shiny G.Ponyta, but it was Adamant thus usable

[sweet crypt]

Anyways Hoopa mopped the floor with the game

[coarse estuary]

the wondercard injector is a savior

[supple basalt]

FINALLY OMG

[coarse estuary]

Anyone got some ideas for what the 30th anniversary is going to hold? I've been trying to fill out a bingo sheet for it and this is what I have so far:
Legends ZA Mystery Gift
Gen 10 announcement
New Mystery Dungeon
Pokémon Unite
Pokémon Sleep
Pokémon Masters
Shiny event
New mediocre mobile game
Nostalgia bait montage
New tv series
TCG set announcement
LEGO sets
Kanto again for some reason
Tera raid
Pokémon Champions
Za-Home compatibility
Pokémon GO Anniversary update

[thorn token]

New Mystery Dungeon would be cool

Although they better bring back the old "attack" mechanic. Making it so you have to use a move was the stupidest change they ever could have made

[unkempt egret]

not sure if we'll get a new tera raid considering the starters are now in the rotation until... august I think?

also you forgot some GO event, especially since GO is also turning 10 in july

[cloud lark]

Haven't thought about GO in years. Good call.

[thorn token]

The GO event is gonna be lame AF tho

Scopely may change that, but Niantic always vhose the goofiest shit to celebrate with

I mean look at the current Rocket Takeover, Thundereous? Really?

[cloud lark]

Last I heard about GO was people upset about the character models being changed

[coarse estuary]

id love for a conquest remaster or sequal for switch 2 to be announced

[cloud lark]

Is Stadium available on the Virtual Console, or no?

Cause that's another thing that could be good for the bingo card if not

[tawdry breach]

Question: Does Pixelmon count as, “Other Pocket Monster Games,”?

[terse pollen]

Probably yeah

[tawdry breach]

‘Kay

[coarse estuary]

yes. other pokemon games is for any pokemon game that isnt pif be it a hack or fan game or pixelmon or whatever

[smoky gyro]

I never realized how busted Encore+Harzards is

[inland crane]

[mighty robin]

It would have been 4 team members died, but I used a Max Revive on my starter. #NotDoingANuzlocke

[mighty robin]

I made it to the Alter of the Moone. Considering the next fight is Level 60, I might need to level up my team a bit more. Can anyone guess the naming theme of my team? Aside from my starter, because that’s just me.

[topaz void]

Greek stuff???

[marble granite]

hi guys, i wanted to try some interesting pokemon games, beside fusion, any recommendations?

[golden agate]

What kind of games do you like?

[marble granite]

anything really, my favourite gen is gen 4, and thats about it

[topaz void]

Platinum is rlly good for gen 4

And for other gens I personally really like black and white

[supple basalt]

Yeah Platinum is good for the whole distortion world thing. Also if you didn't choose Chimchar in base diamond and pearl you are not getting a fire type 😂

[marble granite]

some fun fan games?

[supple basalt]

Depends what sort of games do you like

[brisk hedge]

Rapidash: am I a joke to you?

[supple basalt]

Okay for most of the game then. Ponyta is pretty late if I remember right

Which isn't exactly ideal

[brisk hedge]

I’m pretty sure you can find it before the first gym, on the route north of Oreburgh

[unkempt egret]

most of the fandom: "yes. yes you are."

[brisk hedge]

If not there, then you can find it north of Soloceon

[unkempt egret]

also yea ponyta is early but it also evolves at level 40 (since you find it around level 25-30 in R/B/Y I think)

[brisk hedge]

Right, I forgot about that

[unkempt egret]

actually let me check that

[brisk hedge]

And people say Unova evolution levels are bad (they are)

[unkempt egret]

then again most people also forget that ponyta's BST is something high like... 410? I remember it being higher than a lot of the earlygame bugs

[cinder iron]

Rapidash and Cherrim both became my MVPs for my Shining Pearl playthrough when it came to double battles

[unkempt egret]

28-34 in RGB (Y moved it earlier) so makes sense at the time

since evo levels are almost always "10-15 levels after you can catch them in their debut game" with a few exceptions like earlygame mons that evolve quick or pseudo-legends that evolve late

[cinder iron]

I will send my unicorn and sakura flower to attack!

[mighty robin]

that's incorrect

tho the answer might be right in front of ya

[mighty robin]

aside from my starter, my team is named after tokusatsu characters :V

[still ledge]

Choose the starter: Beldum, Larvitar, or Gible

[brisk hedge]

Larvitar

[still ledge]

Gotcha

That makes one for Larv, one for Bdum

[coarse estuary]

unbound i like it

[still ledge]

You can either tiebreak or vote Gible. What'll it be?

[coarse estuary]

beldum is the best of the 3 starters imo

[still ledge]

That's 2 for Beldum, and so it wins

[golden agate]

Beldum

[still ledge]

And the nature?

[brisk hedge]

Beldum is my second favourite of those, so I’ll accept it

[sweet crypt]

Tbh I wouldn't have voted Beldum since like, wouldn't its early game be awful since it only has Tackle or something?

But like it probably wouldn't matter what I voted anyways

[brisk hedge]

Take Down

[sweet crypt]

I guess it does also evolve the earliest

[brisk hedge]

And if they’re making it a starter, I assume they’re going to change its moveset

[sweet crypt]

Beldum evolves at level 20, Gible at 24, and I think Larvitar evolves at Level 30?

[golden agate]

I think best nature for beldum is adamant

[sweet crypt]

I second Adamant. Jolly would be better if you plan on only using Mega Metagross, but Adamant would be the 2nd best for the Mega and the best for Base Metagross

[still ledge]

Welp, time to reset natures for a while. Just got hit with +Atk -SpDef

[golden agate]

But be warned I had to restart my game like 50 times to get the right nature in unbound

[sweet crypt]

It is Tackle in Gens 8 and 9 which was what I was thinking about

But then again, I think Unbound was made during the Gen 6/7 era?

Idk

Started development in the Gen 7 era

But released after Sword and Shield

[mighty robin]

Ultra Necrozma wasn’t that bad

All I did was use toxic with a Mimikyu I just caught, then had Malicious Moonsault nearly one shot it

thought it was gonna take a bit more poison damage

[sweet crypt]

Isn't it weird that the only Poison move that paralyses is a Signature Move?

I mean think about how many venomous animals use neurotoxins to paralyse their prey

[coarse estuary]

since yall probs know better than me, would hacking in a silvally and the memories break the game once i got the memories from wicke in the post game

[mighty robin]

not sure

[coarse estuary]

then why even respond? if you dont know the answer to my question just dont say anything

[supple basalt]

Doggos

[terse pollen]

what da dog doin

[unkempt egret]

late but if you haven't picked already my vote's larvitar lol

but yea unbound's odd in that you can only get gen 8 pokemon in NG+? you have to put in a mystery code to have them spawn but you can't input mystery codes until postgame. (to be exact, they only spawn if you have a gen 8 mon at all but the only ones available outside of those locked spawns are from mystery codes, but the gen 8 mons themselves can be carried over)

[golden agate]

I keep dying to eteranatus

[sweet crypt]

Generally for beating Eternatus when you're newer to the game, damage over time effects are the way to go

Pokemon like Garganacl with Salt Cure, Venusaur with Leech Seed and Cofagrigus with Curse will be able to tank 1 hit and use their move of choice to apply heavy damage to Eternatus

You can also use moves like Soak

Which serves the dual purpose of increasing the damage of Salt Cure and allowing you to Poison Eternatus with moves like Toxic

Salazzle with Corrosion can also Toxic Eternatus, but Eternatus outspeeds it and can OHKO it

So it's less consistent

These effects do not carry over into Phase 2 (at least, not when I last used them for Eternatus), but Phase 1 is more manageable so you can beat Phase 1 and save these Pokemon for Phase 2

Other more niche moves include Topsy-Turvy

Which can invert all of Eternatus' stat boosts

And in a worst case scenario, a large majority of Pokemon can solo Eternatus because of the TM moves Confide and Double Team

Eternatus only has Special Attacks in Phase 1

So the idea is to lower its SpA into oblivion with Confide and set up 6 Double Teams to increase your Evasion to the max

Eternatus still primarily uses Special moves in Phase 2

So you are extremely difficult for it to kill

And the evasion also usually allows you to avoid the physical Cross Poisons
