[charred shale]

also 99% of the people in the region only have, like, 3 mons

[spice warren]

Water

[charred shale]

ok so maybe galar folk are just kinda dumb

[pine ingot]

i should probably get a toxtricity

lol

[pine ingot]

Maybe

[shell steeple]

Cart, fossils, and cheerleaders don’t belong there

[cunning parrot]

Is the elephant based off of ceramic decoration?

[charred shale]

yeah

copperajah

[brazen pier]

heh

[shell steeple]

Indian elephants exist?

[charred stag]

Bruh

U r joking right

[shell steeple]

In the Pokémon world

[charred shale]

Well we already have pokemon being refered to as "ducks" or "tiny bird" or "electric mouse"

Indian Elephant just being something that refers to a pokemon isn't far off

[hot marsh]

So how’s everyones game going?

On sword I currently have 4 level 100 pokemon

[pine ingot]

I have 2 level 100

[hot marsh]

Noice

Which ones?

[thin stag]

what does skip cutscene even do? I turned it on to make it easier to reset for Eternatus, but it seems like it didn't help at all

I might end up using a mint on Eternatus
I didn't time it, but it takes at least 2-3 minutes to reset once

[hot marsh]

Yeah mints are better

[molten perch]

hey guys i got nintendurdoes switchy online

anyone want to do a max raid battle?

[thin stag]

I think I'll try to catch a Synchronize mon

almost forgot that Synchronize existed

[sturdy rampart]

Gigantamax Snorlax

[molten perch]

lol

[lone lake]

Nah

The best one is the toxcitry gigamax

Or whatever the name is

[thin stag]

yeah, but can you even get one?

afaik there's no den that has G-max Toxtricity

[pine ingot]

@hot marsh alcremie and dracozolt

Also eternatus

[hot marsh]

Nice

For me its cinderace, zacian, gmax meowth and lucario

[pine ingot]

Of course

[hot marsh]

Yeah, it felt necessary to atleast have a level 100 lucario 😂😂

[pine ingot]

K

[fair silo]

These fossils are such abominations but so bullshit

I love em

[red current]

fun fact

strong jaw boosts fishious rend

and it gets 256 bp

[fair silo]

Yeah its a bite move

And gets doubled if theyre quicker

[red current]

sadly it doesn't learn flying moves

max airstream would be so broken

sticky web exists I guess

[coral brook]

toxy aint as strong this gen

[red current]

actually it is

less competition

less power

[coral brook]

ye but im pretty sure it got nerfed

[red current]

why?

it only lost knock off

[coral brook]

it just takes way more damage from anything

[red current]

and dynamax exists but still its toxapex

[coral brook]

at least it did every time i battled it

[red current]

the only reason that would ever happen would be because of dynamax

since its stats are obviously the same

[coral brook]

nah

i wasnt dynamaxed

i ohkoed it with a psyshock from orbeetle

[red current]

psychic terrain?

[coral brook]

no

no crit

no nothing

[red current]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Orbeetle Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Toxapex: 216-254 (71 - 83.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

that person must have forgotten the evs

[coral brook]

it was life orb

[red current]

sounds suspicious

[coral brook]

actually

it migtve been a crit

[pine ingot]

Toxapex can suck my dick

We corvikinght now

[thin stag]

if you're into that

[pine ingot]

Ok boomer

[shell steeple]

Ok coomer

[thin stag]

wtf? I had a Timid Sync Musharna and Eternatus wasn't Timid

f me
I forgot to save

I guess I'll have to farm for a mint

breeding all those Sync Muunas was for nothing

[coral brook]

fuck covi

im team orbeetle

[shell steeple]

Team dwebble

Shell smash rock blast shell bell

[pine ingot]

I respect orbeetle

[coral brook]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8anythinggoes-1014828419

orbe is a god

[gloomy vector]

so I got a thing

[pine ingot]

how

[thin stag]

I love Orbeetle
it's become my favorite Bug-type

[gloomy vector]

RAID BATTLE

you have a chance of finding them

I fought one like three time's failed 2 time's

got the 3rd one

[thin stag]

if you save before you start a G-max raid, you can get so many G-max mons

[gloomy vector]

ok

but I do it legit

[thin stag]

because you can reset if you fail

it's still legit

[gloomy vector]

and I love my butterfree

she is cool

[thin stag]

I'm not talking about joining someone's raid and having them reset it

[gloomy vector]

oh ya I have only beat the 3rd gym

[thin stag]

I've mostly been soloing raid

[gloomy vector]

and the rest of my team is level 50

so there's that

[thin stag]

lol

yeah

[gloomy vector]

Exp candies are broken

[thin stag]

I think I had level 80 and 100 mons by the 4-5 gym, but I kept em for raid-only

[gloomy vector]

he

I like beating the shit out of trainers

[thin stag]

I wanted to join 4-5 star raid w/o being the first to die

[gloomy vector]

oof

[thin stag]

I kinda like the fact that you can overlevel so easily
I'm gonna blitz through my 2nd playthrough

[gloomy vector]

same

[thin stag]

I wouldn't bother resetting, but I want to trade for Zacian

[gloomy vector]

ok

also if you are wondering I'm playing through shield first then sword

[thin stag]

cool
I guess you'll have all the mons once Home comes out

I'm breeding Jolly Dreepy, if anyone wants one

[gloomy vector]

cool

[dusty reef]

I'm almost done with dex I just need some shield exclusives at this point: solosis line Corsola line drampa sableye and box legendary, any help is appreciated

[pine ingot]

Ok so basically

I have a gigantamax garbodor

@gloomy vector your butterfree ain't got shit

[gloomy vector]

ok

also why you hate butterfree

also my Butterfree

is now level 55

and has 133sp.atk

[shell steeple]

Your butterfree dies to my dwebble

[gloomy vector]

ok

I don't mind that

(even though dwebble has like no sp.def)

[cunning parrot]

Is dwebble in the game?

[gloomy vector]

yes

[shell steeple]

I don’t need sp.def

[gloomy vector]

ok

[shell steeple]

I’m supposed to use sturdy to survive the first hit, shell smash turn one then rock blast your team

[gloomy vector]

ok

but I have a water type that's fast as fuck boi

[shell steeple]

With one shell smash my speed is 300 something

[gloomy vector]

but like that's a -2 def dwebble

[shell steeple]

It’s a 1 hp dwebble

[gloomy vector]

ok

AQUA JET

[shell steeple]

But I can also cheese with mudslap helioptile

[gloomy vector]

want to know something broken

SOLAR POWER ZAR PLATE HELOLISK

[shell steeple]

Zar?

[gloomy vector]

oops

I ment Zap

[shell steeple]

Not getting hit is better than a lot of damage

[gloomy vector]

Parabolic charge

you ded

[shell steeple]

If you have sandstorm the helioptile gets almost 4x evasiveness

[gloomy vector]

oh

[shell steeple]

Times 1.5 with every mudslap

And then if it has bright powder another multiplier

[gloomy vector]

arial ace

also if you are wondering what the rest of my team look's like right now

it's Skewda, Goliath (Coalossal), Baba yaga (Hatterene), and Maggie (Butterfree)

and then there's going to be a Haxorus and a Toxtricity (Low key form)

so that's what my team is going to look like

[charred stag]

😮

[vale pebble]

we've cracked the code

[charred stag]

FBI OPEN UP

[coral brook]

Or u know

[pine ingot]

dafuqqqqq

[coral brook]

Could be Empernerra

[pine ingot]

no

[coral brook]

Or toponape

Or

Nvm ye

Toponape is the only legit one

By dex order

[pine ingot]

:,)

[thin stag]

good luck

[molten perch]

just beat shield
that was fun
team:
Cinderace, Toxicitry, Corviknight, Appletun, Hatterne, Regurnius

[thin stag]

how's Appletun?

are Vitamins BP-only?

[shell steeple]

Where is appletun

[thin stag]

it's in Shield raids, but you can find Applin on Route 5 10% encounter in the grass

[shell steeple]

I’m in the final hop fight

This is just the second time I’ve seen pincurchin

Why is it so irrelevant

It’s electric

[slender geode]

guys

today there are wild corsolas

[shell steeple]

You mean raid?

[coral brook]

Shouldve had orbe on that team nut

[pine ingot]

BRO THAT'S IT

[gloomy vector]

oh no

[trail pumice]

bro where do I get a lightball?

I've been killing hundreds of pikachu but still none

[verbal steppe]

https://youtu.be/nkRepbnjPzU

[pine ingot]

snom

[verbal steppe]

snom

[gloomy vector]

I just noticed something with fosmoths prevo

[verbal steppe]

its god?

[gloomy vector]

It looks like a pikmin enemy

it's kinda looks like this

the Sheargrub

the female Sheargrub looks more like it

[livid umbra]

yeah cause its a grub-

[gloomy vector]

just imagine Snom as a pikmin enemy

I would not harm it

(even if it kills like half of my pikmin)

[molten perch]

GUYS

[fierce chasm]

why is title snom song if there ist singing?

[molten perch]

THEY JUST REVEALED A NEW MYTHICAL COMING IN 2020

[fierce chasm]

better make it snom music, all though it aint realy music but yea

[molten perch]

Nintendo themselves confirmed it

Ill send a pic

its called....

shrek bird

[spice warren]

snom is a pinecone

fact

[fierce chasm]

ist that what kind of happens in every gen?

[shell steeple]

Is Raihan the first gym leader to not have a mono type team?

[spice warren]

i

[coral brook]

Snoms mouth looks like ass

[pine ingot]

Blue in gold and silver had more than one type

[gloomy vector]

Got the Bruh moment Pokémon (that's what I'm calling this form of it from now on)

[shell steeple]

Blue was a gym leader?

[gloomy vector]

yes

[coral brook]

eh

amped is cooler

[gloomy vector]

ya but I like the low key one

[pine ingot]

We have offical art

[gloomy vector]

so I found a gigantmax Corviknight

and failed to catch it

[pine ingot]

Lol

Just soft reset

[gloomy vector]

no

[gloomy vector]

cause I have to kill it one turn one (cause I have 780 quick balls)

[pine ingot]

These artworks are so good

?

You can kill it turn one

*Cant

It's literally impossible so there's no point using quick balls

[gloomy vector]

ELECTIRC TYPE

[pine ingot]

Dude

I have a level 100 dracozolt with almost max attack

And it doesn't one shot raid pokemon

Because there's a limit to how much damage you can deal before they set up a shield

[gloomy vector]

oh

ok turn two might be a thing then

[pine ingot]

Still no point in quick balls

Just save before every raid and if you don't catch it reset for it

Literally so simple

Hey @gloomy vector

[gloomy vector]

ps I don't know how to soft reset in swsh

so there's that

[pine ingot]

Close the game

Turn it off

Open game

[gloomy vector]

that's CALLED RESETING

not soft resetting

[pine ingot]

Same thing

Does the same job

[gloomy vector]

I'm wondering something

can a mon that has the ability to Gigantamax lose it's ability to

reason I say that is cause I want to teach my butterfree pollen puff

[pine ingot]

What

[gloomy vector]

what's the what for

there think I fixed it

also got my spirit animal

[trail pumice]

trash nature

[gloomy vector]

I don't care

[trail pumice]

also

quick ball bitch

[gloomy vector]

shut

[trail pumice]

no I won't

[gloomy vector]

I have 780 of them

[trail pumice]

imagine buying over 10 quick balls

[gloomy vector]

what else do you think I'll use

[trail pumice]

sell em lol

[gloomy vector]

no

there cool

cause that 8x catch on turn one

[trail pumice]

trash

use regular balls boomer

[gloomy vector]

ok

but why

[hot marsh]

Quick balls are holy

[gloomy vector]

I also used it cause I don't have ultra ball's yet

so there's that

[hot marsh]

Wild area?

[gloomy vector]

yes

[hot marsh]

Thought so

[gloomy vector]

I bought 789 of them

and have like 782 or 783 left

[pine ingot]

Fucking quick balls are a waste of watts

Also your sandacobra is shit

Not even g max hold this l

[gloomy vector]

cause I haven't found one of it yet

also stop making fun of him

also what should I name him

[hot marsh]

Name him Za Warudo

[gloomy vector]

no

I need a better name than that

[hot marsh]

Za Warudo is perfect

Or you could name him darude

Because darude sandstorm

[pine ingot]

https://discord.gg/34G3Ev
fixed my epic server

[gloomy vector]

ok

[pine ingot]

join for epic sword and shield talk

also i might do a nuzlocke

[spice warren]

worm

[cunning parrot]

If the apple pokemon is a worm hiding from bird in an apple (which already makes no sense), why does one of its evolutions turn it into an apple pie?

[sage sparrow]

fat dragon wyrm

[bright hemlock]

Imma have to use the 'No Sense Clause' on you @cunning parrot

[spice warren]

he becomes a pie cause he's good lookin and cooking

[pine ingot]

Because he fused with the Apple

[brazen pier]

he gets big and strong and stops being afraid of the bird

[open stirrup]

I wish flapple had a better design, he's got middle evo syndrome

[cunning parrot]

Their shared gigantamax isn’t very good either

[spice warren]

yeah me too

appleton way better

[open stirrup]

I wish their gigantamax was just a Pokemon it looked cool

[pine ingot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/487038305704083467/648264096160153613/isZdguUnhnbvj2UZ.mp4

[vale pebble]

Appletun is good boi

[pine ingot]

Call me dumb but i think the next games won't be dp remakes

I think they will pull a black and white one us

[cunning parrot]

Black-and-white was very innovative though, so I don’t want to see a remake of that with what game freak did with this game

[heady grail]

They could pull an USUM on us for SwSh instead... but never said that it's inevitable.

[fair silo]

Stunfisk with teeth is the most cursed part

[shell steeple]

If you whistle and there is a stunfisk near you it will jump

Also why is it still called stunfisk

[spice warren]

how did you think stunfisk ate

it has teeth like everyone else

dont discriminate

[shell steeple]

Why is it a stun-fish if it isn’t even electric anymore

[pine ingot]

Stunfisk is a champ

Because it's a fucking galarian form

Sandshrew got an ice type form

[shell steeple]

Should have been a evo

[pine ingot]

How

[shell steeple]

Or changed the name

[pine ingot]

WHY

It's literally stunfisk

[shell steeple]

Cause it can’t stun

[pine ingot]

Are you dumb

[shell steeple]

Sandshrew should change too

[pine ingot]

It's called stunfisk because it's the same species as a regular stunfisk but its adapted to a new environment

[spice warren]

snowshrew

bitefisk

they sound stupid

they dont change caus ethey're still good names

[pine ingot]

Whem fucking Mr Darwin went on his dog boat and looked at fucking finches

[shell steeple]

Things like eggsecutor or marowak can stay the same because it makes sense

[pine ingot]

HE DIDNT SAY OH LOOK THIS OME HAS A BIG BEAK LETS CALL IT A BIFINCH

[spice warren]

"nutfinch"

"bugfinch"

"seedfinch"

"meatfinch"

[pine ingot]

Literally so fucking stupid

[spice warren]

nobody fucking does that

[pine ingot]

The only acceptable ones to change are zigzagoon and mayve exeggutor

Because they are apprently originally from galar and alola

[shell steeple]

Fox

Artic fox

Desert fox

White-tailed deer

Brown bear

Black bear

[pine ingot]

It's actually called a fennec fox but whatever

[shell steeple]

Imagine how confused all firstime Pokémon players were when they saw Alolan Sandshrew

And Sandslash

[lone lake]

Yo

Who have the runegrigus sprite

[pine ingot]

https://youtu.be/-PYeX83h86A

[sinful raft]

Anyone wanna trade for starters? Ive got a couple of freshly hatched sobbles

[open stirrup]

I don't think I've seen a single poketuber complain about sword/shield. Pokemon is how they make their money, so I doubt they would.

[dull night]

Yup, hence why I don't look to them for a non biased view of sword and shield

[shell steeple]

Who do you look to

The only person who would really be unbiased is someone who has never seen any Pokémon content before

[uncut pelican]

Yo I know this is a really dumb and stupid question but I just wanna be safe

I know when you evolve a foreign pokemon it’s name changes

It’s still counted as a foreign Pokémon when breeding tho right

[astral onyx]

yep

[uncut pelican]

Okay sweet good

Speaking of breeding I just got a shiny axew after 583 eggs and like 10+ hours

[heavy agate]

just beat Leon in the Masterball Tier in Battle Tower

I now have "Quagsire the Tower Master"

[brazen mango]

I’m trying to think of a good water type to breed/dynamax in double battles that not inteleon

[lone lake]

Barraskweda

@brazen mango

[dull night]

Gyarados is busted Staridium

Give it bounce and moxie

[lone lake]

No

[dull night]

watch the carnage ensue

[lone lake]

Barraskweda

Watch the barraskweda stats

[brazen mango]

Skew is fast and has a lot of atk stat but no defense

[dull night]

Dynamax Flying increases Gyarados's speed, Moxie increases its attack whenever it beats a pokemon

You can't go wrong with either

Barraskewda is a better non dynamax fighter, but gyarados excels as your dynamax choice

I'm not playing the game but I keep track of competitive XD

[brazen mango]

Skew is good if u have its hidden ability

Maybe binacles evolution

[dull night]

Or Toxapex if you want to piss people off

Barbaracle is a great underrated choice

[brazen mango]

Nah I already an idea for a tank

I wouldn’t say it’s underrated gets a good movepool for dynamax

Like x scizor

I think it gets brick break

[dull night]

I mean compared to the big name water types Barbaracle isn't considered as good, its one of my favorite designs though

It can abuse shell smash though

[brazen mango]

Oh god make it live a hit for it to use shell smash then dynamax it XD

Then it gets more stats through dynamax and hat thing is gonna wreck

Or I could go for gastrodon hmmm

Wat Pokemon can lower spatk

[brazen mango]

Hmm wat Pokemon can learn struggle bug

[dull night]

Grimmsnarl can lower attack with Spirit break

Sp attack I mean*

[coral brook]

That tea thing is fuckin broken

Shell smash stored power

[thin pasture]

Looks at early game rookidee with hone claws and power trip as well

[coral brook]

Power trip wont do shit after one hone claws

But stored power after one shell smash

Oh baby

[thin pasture]

one hone claws gives it 60BP

so I wouldnt say it does shit, especially early game

[fair silo]

Man sat there in the face of death

And setup

[pine ingot]

I sent ttars video because he knows there are flaws in the game and is pissed about the dex too

So like watch it first lol

It's not like adrive or any other poketuber with the flashy intros music and all that shit just talking

[keen snow]

Bro surprise trade gave me a Japanese ditto that's so hype

[opal crystal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/454566098680021013/648267783234125826/IMG_0919.jpg

gud team y/y

[thin stag]

I'm going insane trying to get a G-max Lapras
I can't imagine how I'll feel if it's not HA

if I were to do this legitimately, it would take me months to get that Lapras
assuming the den was always an active rare den

they really made this game with the G-max events in mind

imagine getting this game after the events are over and the exploits patched

[pine ingot]

I got one lol

Also fuck you zul

Just fuck you

[clear lion]

he a hacker

[pine ingot]

He's not a hacker you dumb

Just a uber noob

[clear lion]

no he hacker

[gilded grove]

Uber noob

No held items

All male

Def and uber noob

[thin stag]

what are the chances of encountering a G-max mon in a rare den?

[pine ingot]

5 percent as a 5 star

That's why people are cheesing it

[thin stag]

what are the chances for a 5-star raid?

I'm cheesing it

I've been trying to get a G-max Lapras for 3-4h

[pine ingot]

Oof

5 star is 35%

[thin stag]

I've reached June

I think I might reach 2021 before I get one and it might not even have it's HA

[coral brook]

Ur using garbodor

U cant fuckin complain

[shell steeple]

I have two gmax mons

[pine ingot]

Garbodor is cool

Especially gmaxed

[thin stag]

2 Eiscue in a row, but still no lapras. wtf

[pine ingot]

Zacian is female?

[thin stag]

kinda

lore-wise at least

[thin pasture]

Voryo, did you beat the main game?

[thin stag]

yeah

[thin pasture]

Okay

Just making sure

[thin stag]

I still have yet to get Zamazenta and reset

[bright hemlock]

Wait what does hero is many battles even do

[thin stag]

isn't that the form/species name?

[coral brook]

Its description u cuck

[bright hemlock]

Silence peasant

You frigging Boomer

[coral brook]

Go eat a jar of cum u goomer

[bright hemlock]

No u

Poomer

You lack toes in the field

[coral brook]

Ludis

Just stop

[thin stag]

5% out of 35% is 1.75%
I reset at least 200 times
where the fuck is that G-max Lapras?

[coral brook]

Its sleeping

[shell steeple]

Why are you guys reseting? Pokémon home isn’t out yet.

[bright hemlock]

Lies

Serp

[thin stag]

I guess I used up my luck with 2nd try G-max Orbeetle and 5th try G-max HA Charizard

[bright hemlock]

Is a wyrm

[shell steeple]

Voryo why are you reseting

[thin stag]

which reset are you talking about?
game reset or rare den cheese reset?

[shell steeple]

Game reset

[thin stag]

I want to trade for a Zacian and that's the only way to get another Zamazenta

plus by the time Home is out, I want to complete the game

[shell steeple]

But if you reset you’ll lose zacian

[thin stag]

I'll probably overlevel my mons for my 2nd playthrough and trade eggs to the new save

[shell steeple]

You have 2 switches?

[thin stag]

I have a friend that will hold on to my mons

[shell steeple]

I see

[thin stag]

considering I won't catch any mons since I'm gonna use the same 6 mons(that I'm currently breeding) and I'll have my friend overlevel them
I think I should be able to go through the story in a couple of days
after that I'll cheese the dens to get Watts that I'll use to get items to sell and then I can really start completing the game
then I'm shiny hunting Galar-only mons
once Home is out, I'll transfer the bare minimum of shinies since I want a shiny dex
I wish they would release Home already

[pine ingot]

Anyome got a flame orb

[pine ingot]

Nvm

[pine ingot]

I got it :)

[charred shale]

may be

[trail pumice]

someone got a Chipped Pot?

I'll trade it for an 4IV german ditto

[shell steeple]

Chipped pot?

@trail pumice ^

[trail pumice]

ye

[shell steeple]

What is a chipped pot

[astral onyx]

it's used to evolve Sinistea with stamps

they're known as legitimate Sinistea and very rare to encounter

[pine ingot]

Lmao

So the rest are bootlegged

[shell steeple]

Stamps?

[astral onyx]

yeah, the legit Sinistea and Polteageist have stamps that are only visible in Dynamax

[pine ingot]

It's visible in normal too

[astral onyx]

true, but it's harder to see them at their normal size as the camera angles aren't exactly permissive with it

[pine ingot]

Fair

[charred shale]

yall ever seen et?

[vale pebble]

omg

lmao

[gilded grove]

Hes just vibin

[light cipher]

[shell steeple]

I’m glad you have recognized it as such

[light cipher]

any one got a g max gengar willing to trade for a g max machamp

[heavy agate]

bipedal purrloin is ok

It has bi in the name so tehrefore

also thats why i like flapple more

[fair silo]

I just like flapple hits harder than mega ray

Hustle and 110 atk

[thin stag]

I hate how some people say "the den exploit has ruined raids"
literally how? they acting like they're being forced to join those raids.

not to mention you still have a 1.75% chance to get a G-max mon with the exploit

minutes? try hours

[fair silo]

I mean idk who truly likes grinding for shit

[thin stag]

you're grinding regardless
it's just grinding a few hours a day vs grinding for months or even for over a year for a mon you kinda want, but you probably won't use

I kinda want G-max HA Lapras, but I don't think it's worth months upon months of maybe encountering one and it probably not being HA and then grinding another few months for another chance of encountering it

not to mention if you do it legit, then your chance of catching it are also not guaranteed

if you add all this up, the next game might come out before you catch 1 G-max mon

basically outside G-max event almost = you probably won't get that G-max mon

not to mention the time you spend grinding for Watts to use on Wishing Stones

it's not like anybody is forced to join somebody else's raid

[fair silo]

Yeah

[thin stag]

acting like you're being held at gunpoint to join the raids of the people who re-roll the dens is an exaggeration

it's kinda like "this reboot ruined my childhood"

[mortal shoal]

gmax mons are not that hard to find

[thin stag]

non-event Gmax?

[mortal shoal]

getting a specific one, maybe, but i’ve seen like 8 gmax centiskorches in a week

ive lost track of how many corviknights ive seen re-rolling

[thin stag]

I mean Coviknight, Drednaw, Butterfree, Centiscorch and Sandacobra are event G-maxes right now

[fair silo]

Ive fought 8 centiskorches

These fucking hot wheels race tracks wont join me

[thin stag]

I've heard you have a better catchrate if you host the raid

I think the catchrate goes down by 85% if you join a raid

I'd give you one, but I traded all my G-max ones

[bright hemlock]

Wait

Swsh and IF both don't have all he mons

So why is swsh hated

[thin stag]

IF isn't an official game plus it has 123k possible fusions

[bright hemlock]

Touche

[thin stag]

you can't hold a fan game to the same standards and an official release made by a company that made 90+ billions off of their franchise

[thin pasture]

We stil hating on swsh? Damn just enjoy the game, or at least look at the great parts of the game

And there are enough good parts to look at

[bright hemlock]

I'm Not

I'm so confused

Gen 1 didn't let you use mon that weren't new but Black and White does it and they get so much h8 for it

[fair silo]

People that hated gen5 for having an ice cream pokemon forget that magneton and dugtrio are the most uninspired designs in the series

[thin stag]

it's not about hating/the dex
it's about not knowing what the future of the franchise holds
we'll never know the real reason or reasons behind their decision
maybe the higherups gave them a certain time window to release the game
the franchise isn't just the games
I'm not against for each gen to bring back mons in batches

[thin pasture]

I actually don't mind the nat dex thing

Boohoo, there are less mons, so what

The fun of a new game with new mons is having a team with only new mons

I can understand most complaints, but those aren't enough nor are they big enough to make the game bad like most people say

[fair silo]

My only real complaint is

Past like the 5th gym it just seems rushed

Like the game is going as fast as possible from that point onwards

[pine ingot]

I dont think thats a rush thing

I think that's just a problem with the games in general

Johto your fighting the e4 in the 40s

Sun and moon had you complete islands in about an hour

[fair silo]

Yeah probably

[charred shale]

if magnolia had a master ball
why the fuck did she not give that to leon when he was trying to catch eternatus

[fair silo]

One of the most famous people in the region

Cant afford higher than a regular ball

[charred shale]

i put perserrker on thw rong side oof
it gets a new ability, not a new move

[thin stag]

Tapu Koko isn't in the game so, Pinurchin is the only one with Electric Surge

[charred shale]

i meant new signature abilities

oof I put alcremie on the wrong spot too
was meant to be on the Move side

there

[clear lion]

cool

[fair silo]

I think weezings on the wrong side

Or huh it has a sig move

[charred shale]

yeah

strange steam

plus regular weezing also gets neutralizing gas so idk if it should count as sig or not

[coral brook]

Perrserker has a signature move huh???

Oh wait nvm

Looked at the older one

[cunning parrot]

Seems weird that so many new Pokémon get their own signature thing

[charred shale]

not really

alola was the same thing

[shell steeple]

Why don’t people just do raids solo

It isn’t that hard

[thin stag]

I've mostly played solo unless it was some Sword-exclusive

[pine ingot]

Lol can't believe you got that wrong kek

I wouldn't count centi copper and orb as getting nothing

They have gmaxes

[charred shale]

i just said I didn't count the gigantamaxes

[bright hemlock]

Pokemon Nuke and Orbital Laser - cannot wait

[charred shale]

i'm counting the base forms only

[pine ingot]

I didn't see that then

Should do a Venn diagram of gmax new move and new ability

[charred shale]

meh

not worth the effort

[pine ingot]

Also appletun and flapple have signiture abilites

[charred shale]

oh right

rippen

forgot

[pine ingot]

Oof

[bright hemlock]

What does flapple get

[charred shale]

grav apple

[pine ingot]

And Apple acid

[charred shale]

apple acid is appletun only iirc

[bright hemlock]

Which means.......

[pine ingot]

So it is

Oops

[charred shale]

ok i did some research
piers is a medieval ver of peter
which come from greek Petros
petros means stone
stone = rock

[bright hemlock]

Galar Weezing = Jojo Siwa

[shell steeple]

By signature abilities do you mean new abilities or only they have them

Also JOJO

Are you really approaching me

[charred shale]

new abilities which only they have

can't be a signature ability if it isn't new because another mon must've already had that ability if it already existed

[pine ingot]

Why the fuck have they not released art works

[bright hemlock]

Weezing = 7 letters
Gen 7 = Alola
Alola = 4 Islands
Gen 4 = Sinnoh
Sinnoh = 6 letters
Gen 6 = Gave Gengar a poison type a mega
Gengar = 6 letters
6 + 7 = 13
Weezing Pre evo = Koffing
Koffing = Cough
Cough = 5 letters
13 - 5 = 8
Jojo Siwa = 8 letters
Weezing = Jojo Siwa

Simple

[pine ingot]

Ok

[bright hemlock]

And Weezing got A new form in gen 8

[fierce chasm]

the form of DIO

gass DA WORLD

[pine ingot]

Right so

The swsh wild area trees

Are based on real world fucking trees

What the fuck lmao 😂

We can go visit god tree in real life

[shell steeple]

Where can I find the abilities

[pine ingot]

For?

Next gen he will be standing

[shell steeple]

All of the signature abilities in gen 8

[charred shale]

Libero, Mirro Armor, Cotton Down, Ball Fetch, Steam Engine, Sand Spit, Gulp Missile, Propeler Tail, Punk Rock, Perish Body, Mimicery, Gorilla Tactics, Pastel Veil, Screen Cleaner, Wandering Spirit, Steely Spirit, Ice Scales, Powet Spot, Ice Face, Hunger Switch, Stalwart, Inteprid Sword, Dauntless Shield

[light cipher]

put it back under the bridge

[sage sparrow]

whenever i see purrzerker i hear this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjHclWPVij0

[light cipher]

i am happy i have seen this now

[sage sparrow]

if you like warhammer fantasy please watch ravandil's quest

[sage sparrow]

pengin = copy

FACT

[fair silo]

Its like

How do you even call eiscue a copy

It has a massive block of ice on its head

And prinplup is a random mid evo

[cunning parrot]

it's a copy of a Thwomp from Mario then

[sage sparrow]

its a copy of this penguin from crash bandicoot

[cunning parrot]

I found what he truly is a copy of

[shell steeple]

Got every stone except for a moon stone(the stone I wanted)

And there is no reliable way to get one

[charred shale]

same thing

[cunning parrot]

weird bird?

[vale pebble]

The hat mon with its clothing be lookin like a alien head ass

[spice warren]

naked owls

[red current]

not naked

just baby birbs

[unborn granite]

||Basically Chairman Rose right before the champion battle: "I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT-"||

[pine ingot]

Gmax snorlax will be available December 4th in raids

Also it isn't just oh yeah lol take it you actually have to find it yourself

[shell steeple]

Vmax?

[clear lion]

fly me to the moon let me among the stars

[thin stag]

finally got G-max Lapras

if it's not HA, I think I'm gonna cry

[charred stag]

HA?

[thin stag]

Hidden Ability

G-max Charizard can't take advantage of Solar Power since it's G-max move doesn't generate sun, but G-max Lapras can take advantage of it's HA

[coral brook]

Only thing good bout gmax zard is look

And his signature move animation

Other than that its complete ass

[thin stag]

probably

[pine ingot]

Charizard is really good this gen to some

[thin stag]

do G-max mons have the same stats as D-max mons?

cuz D-max Solar Power Charizard might just be better than the G-max version

[fair silo]

Also g-max wildfire gigantamax zard with solar power holding choice specs

[thin stag]

yeah, but Wildfire doesn't generate sun

so no sun boost

[fair silo]

Thats what torkoal is for

[shell steeple]

In D-max all fire moves make sunlight right

[thin stag]

yeah

yeah, but something like G-max Lapras with Hydration(HA) can set up the rain without needing any help or sacrificing a move slot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW23hdGYXV8&ab_channel=TheOfficialPokémonYouTubechannel

did you know the starters can evolve?

[pine ingot]

Nope

Oh my fucking god

[thin stag]

well they posted a video telling us

[pine ingot]

Literally 0 fucks

[thin stag]

that's cool af

[shell steeple]

Bootleg Torterra

[pine ingot]

He should have gmax smite

[thin stag]

I can't imagine that even the people who stayed spoilerfree didn't see the starter evos by now

[shell steeple]

Why doesn’t Torterra have a gigantamax

So many possibilities

[pine ingot]

Because it's not in swsh

And would be bullshit if it was the only other starter to get one

[shell steeple]

Why doesn’t crustle have one then

[pine ingot]

Like blastoise and venusaur should have one but no

[shell steeple]

He could be a geosphere, or Za Warudo

[pine ingot]

Garbodor is better than crustle

[shell steeple]

His shiny isn’t

[pine ingot]

It is

[thin stag]

if blastoise and venusaur don't get a G-max this gen, then they never will

[shell steeple]

And take that back

[pine ingot]

No.

[shell steeple]

Crustle is eh but he is dwebble’s dad

And that deserves respect all on it’s own

[pine ingot]

Dwebble is bad

Krabby is better

[shell steeple]

What’s you say about the boi

[pine ingot]

Krabby

Is

Better

Than

Dwebble

[shell steeple]

Crabby is just a crab

[pine ingot]

Dwebble is just a hermit crab

[shell steeple]

But it has a rock

[pine ingot]

Ok?

[shell steeple]

And dwebble actually has competitive use

[pine ingot]

Like what

Lc

This man never swept with a kingler

[thin pasture]

Imagine restarting swsh, getting to the wild area for the first time and seeing a rare beam instantly👌

Dynamax yamask, here we go

[shell steeple]

No dwebble sweeps in Uber’s

Just shell smash turn one

All the meta people have a Primal kyogre so hold a weakness policy

Then sweep

Have rock blast for multi hit and stab

Earthquake for coverage

And x scissor

[lone lake]

Ik dwebble

No crustle

Dwebble

[shell steeple]

Yes

[lone lake]

Dwebble gonna kill all of you fuckers

[shell steeple]

Tbh

After two shell smashes he gets around 530 atk

Then it’s like 90 damage on a multi hit move

[bright hemlock]

Huh

Dwebble

Come on out Rocc

The only Survivor of my BW looplocke

[pine ingot]

But

Other pokemon do dwebbles job better

[shell steeple]

But I like dwebble better

And people underestimate it so they try to swords dance or something

[bright hemlock]

@pine ingotlike

[pine ingot]

Minior

Cloyster

Huntail

Gorebyss

Barbaricle

Caracosta

[lone lake]

Wait rai there

Gorebyss can learn shell smash?

[bright hemlock]

Clampearl can

[pine ingot]

Polteagiest

Can too

[bright hemlock]

Also none of them got stealth roccs

[lone lake]

But we talking about a Pokémon without shell

[pine ingot]

Really?

Really?

[lone lake]

And I forgot the name

The araquanid atack

[shell steeple]

But can he multi hit?

How will he get past a sash

Or another sturdy user

[charred shale]

why he lookin like he just came back from playing a background character in Hamilton

[pine ingot]

@shell steeple stealth rocks

Or whirlpool

[shell steeple]

Whirlpool won’t work because the second hit comes after the opponent attacks

And carracosta will be dead by then

Stealth rocks can be avoided by levitate or air ballon

Half the other mons you said aren’t in swsh cutting them out as options

[charred shale]

stealth rock can't be ignored by either of those

[shell steeple]

The boots then

[pine ingot]

Lol poop head

Cara is better

Best part of the champion theme is when Leon takes his cape off right when the music syncs up

[charred shale]

tfw hop's theme is miles better than his brother's

[pine ingot]

True

Soccer ball

Not football a soccer ball

Why the fuck does Intelleon have a knife

[charred shale]

Lemme see what you got there

[shell steeple]

Mach 3?!

As in 2301 mph

So every fire type should just instantly die

[charred shale]

oh wow

[shell steeple]

I never would have guessed

@pine ingot what is Rillaboom’s

[pine ingot]

Go look

[shell steeple]

You realized how annoying that is to do on mobile

[shell steeple]

Charizard’s gmax move is just Centiskorch’s

[fair silo]

But do both their fire spin things continue past 1 mons death

[charred shale]

[finite magnet]

You know, if Inteleon was supposed to be based on british spy movies, they really butchered that design.

[shell steeple]

I think it works

For what they were going for

I would have perferered if it stayed closer to a Sizzle

[sage sparrow]

gex

[dull night]

Seems in competitive that Dracovish is one of the hardest hitting pokemon ever thanks to Fishious rend

can even OHKO toxapex of all things

In the rain

[earnest forum]

me to whoever came up with the yamask evolution method

[fair silo]

Honestly dynamax is unbalanced as shit but the metas so stupidly fun

[pine ingot]

@dull night Dracozolt does even better lol

Since electric is suoer effective against pex

[pine ingot]

Also it has higher attack and can be boosted be e terrain

[pine ingot]

What a fucking idiot

[vale pebble]

Verlisify can go suck a wiener

Haha

[fierce chasm]

its not realy the pokemon itself is that op tbh

(just looked up)

i mean sure can have nice move set but still

[pine ingot]

Fool.

You do not know the power of dracozolt

[fierce chasm]

and whats related to that if i may ask?

[fierce chasm]

questioning cause it doest appear in as if its a evolution

[pine ingot]

Dracozolt is dracovishes counter part

[fierce chasm]

but were speaking of dracovish

[pine ingot]

Yeah I know

Both are insanely good

[fierce chasm]

besides the only difference in statswise is the attack ratio got swap with def ratio

lol

it make sense while it does not make sense

ability strong jaws boost all bite moves up to 50%

but does not boost super fang

makes sense while it does not make sense

[pine ingot]

Because super fang would deal 100%

[fierce chasm]

no

it would deal 75%

cus its half boost

and its not of max hp

its of current hp

so

[pine ingot]

Still stupid

[charred shale]

i love how flat stunfisk is

freaking pancake

[pine ingot]

Me too

He flops around as well and it's so PRECIOUS

[pine ingot]

Yes

[shell steeple]

Joltik is not a bean

He doesn’t belong

[pine ingot]

Yes he is

If anything larvesta isn't a bean

[fair silo]

Its a 4 foot bean

[brazen mango]

I believe I just got pincurchins Ha

[fair silo]

Is it electric surge

[brazen mango]

Ye

It’s female aswell so I can breed more ha pincurchins

That also means I can use pincurchin hawlucha combo

[shell steeple]

I have seen pinurchin twice

I’m in post game

[brazen mango]

Ok ya can get it before 8th gym

[pine ingot]

Lmao

[open stirrup]

It's a Shame gigantomaxing doesn't work like Megas.

I wanted a super buffed meowth

[pine ingot]

Well for eternatus it does

Plus it would literally be megas 2 and there would be no point in getting rid of megas then

[charred shale]

there already is no point tbf

and its not like megas are the only form changes that buff stats

would be better than just making the mons get a new move (That often isn't even as good as the regular dynamax effect of the move)

[balmy cloud]

Does anyone got a rotom they could touch trade me

[wind dew]

You can just catch one

As long as you're prepared to chase it at the speed of light

[analog escarp]

I’ve spent the past day working on a night slash swords dance shedninja as well as a night slash baron pass shedninja

TIL that wishing piece dens stay active til you complete them or use another wishing piece
so in theory you could just wait til a G-max mon pops up, if you wanted to do this legit

OPAL IS A FREAKING CREEP!!!

What do you think?

[clear lion]

meh

[trail pumice]

drapion epic

[cunning parrot]

Of course using shiny

[thin stag]

WTF? Cursola just fully healed itself

wtf is this raid?

not to mention it started with it's shields up

[clear lion]

cmon it's just a weakling!!

[thin stag]

I defeated it
I was more surprised than anything

which ability is considered the good one?

[main path]

Cursed Body is the Hidden Ability

[thin stag]

yeah, I checked

[thin stag]

did we see any of the other 8 gymleaders?
even as useless NPCs
