I have one team and became underlevelled just after this for the final Team Star boss (I'm following a guide with the recommended route based on levels). 🙂
I did start skipping trainer battles though. 😂
Although I do catch a lot of Pokémon, so I figured it balances out. 😉
I'm not following any guide, I'm just going to places randomly 😂
And somehow my stupid tumbleweed guy hasnt evolved yet even though I must have had him follow me around for way more than 1000 steps by now
Oh is it one of those annoying ones? Katten was having the same problem. 😢
yea, one of the 3 that needs to follow you around to evolve
The ball spider that isn't garn is another one, tho I dont remember the third
Garganacl Vs Clodsire setups when they realise what purifying salt does (all is lost the Minecraft salt pyramid is too strong)
Smogon news:
- Palafin is likely to be banned within the next 24 hours
- Cyclizar might be banned with it, but we'll see as various counterplay (notably Infiltrator Dragapult) is showing up which makes it dead weight.
- Iron Bundle is basically better Kyurem, so it's next on the list after these two
Level him up
wow, as if I hadn't leveled up my teammember in 10 play hours 
Cyclizar ban would be boring as fuck
So it'll probably be banned.
Iron Bundle straightup doesn't need a ban, counter play on that thing is piss easy it's just a fast special attacker
I feel like they are jumping the gun lmao. Isnt it way too early to ban half of the mons? But idk crap about competitive so whatever 
You're not taking into account that smogon are boring wimps
Funnee dog was too much for them because of one good move which had zero counters (unless you count priority attacks, normal types, faster Mons (which is most), and the fact that the only way for it to outspeed everything involved both sandstorm and choice scarf with its entire team dead)
"It's unbeatable if you follow this complicated and risky setup with a billion counters!! It's too strong!!"
But no, it took them longer to ban the dolphin who just has to switch out once and then it's God
Next it'll be Garganacl or some shit, then they'll ban terastalising as a whole
And eventually they'll water it down to their token flavourless non-unique style
The current metagame is limited without Home, so very few counterplay exists for those three.
- Palafin is walled by Zapdos and several bulky waters, but Zapdos and said bulky waters don't exist outside of Dondozo, so nothing can really stop it.
- Good Infiltrator mons are literally just Dragapult and Noivern.
- Iron Bundle has good defense so most priority doesn't kill it. The HDB set is basically guaranteed to take out something with how fast it is.
You do know funny dog didn't just run Sand Rush, right? Fluffy set is also what got it banned because nothing can kill it.
Fire, non contact moves, special attacks
Arent limited metas the most fun tho?
Its bulk setup wouldn't allow it to sweep either, because it would be too slow and the majority or rest of its team would still be dead
I like the chaos of a wider meta. 🙂
Literally every rock type uses non contact, same for basically every ground types outside of headlong rush users
Frankly if they couldn't kill a Fluffy Houndstone that's on them
That still means every single team needs a strong priority Sucker Punch user, Fire Spam, etc.
Also, Funny Dog isn't frail. It's got 100s in both defenses. That's not gonna fold from even STAB Sucker Punch.
Meanwhile it 1-shots pretty much everything that even resists a +4 Last Respects.
To me it feels like the "wide" meta has been exactly the same since gen 7. At least for a few months after a new gens out you actually have a meta that isnt just landerous and incineror for once
This is fair, by "wide" meta I mean the one with everything, including Megas and Z-moves. 😄
But yes, it's not helped by the fact that they keep bringing Landorus back without nerfs. 😦
Literally just use normal types, shadow ball, anything lmao. God forbid a Pokémon cause people to have a varied team.
They are, but limited metas by definition have less defensive counterplay. This was a big reason why Pachirisu took the world championship: it was the best defensive counterplay available in that meta.
They'll nerf ||the new quartet|| before release, but not Landorus? Come on. 
Thats a good thing
I'm just glad that stall has been nerfed dramatically. 😄
I know but when the new generation focuses heavily on offensive monsters, it gets very overwhelming very fast.
It's not fun or skilled, anyone who says otherwise is a charlatan. 😛
There's literally nothing you can do if a Palafin does Bulk Up in-front of you.
You can just hope that your Palafin gets to do Bulk Up first.
The only reliable counter is Unaware Dondozo, which means every single team needs a Palafin and a Dondozo on it to be competitive. That's the definition of limiting on the meta.
Sounds more fun than every player using landorus for the 9th year in a row
Requiring a Pokémon on a team to counter another one is bad, yeah. 😦
Landorus stagnation is worse (it should be in Ubers). 😛
Landorus-T is present on a lot of teams because it does a lot of things, not because it is overpowered.
~~With that being said, idk why I'm talking about this topic as if I know anything, I've literally not had any contact to competitive pokemon in years
~~
If a Landorus-T sets up, there's a lot of counterplay to handle it.
Literally any ice-type move, for example.
Yeah but you could say the same about Blissey.
It and Chansey have been staples since Gen 1.
Most people don't want Landorus-T back, especially the VGC guys, but that's a metagame without bans.
Only way we get rid of it is if GameFreak decides to stop putting it in every title.
I stand by the Houndstone ban just being absurd I was both countering and being countered while using it. It was dangerous, sure, but this idea of it being some indestructible monolith requires some poor team planning on the victim's part anyway
My team so far in scarlet is sprigatito and shroodle
You're in the first area, aren't you? 😛
Yes
I like the posion guy. Have him on my team as well
Shroodle strikes me as like a Fresh Digimon, whereas Grafaiai doesn't feel fully evolved to me. Definitely doesn't feel like a second stage, feels more like Aipom. 😮
you should aquire a dunsparce
Grafaiai definitely feels unevolved but I still love it anyway
YES
A mon that really grew on me from seeing it ingame is the first stage of the whale ball guy with legs
I have a normal type now (shroodle) so dunsparce will never be considered
shroodle is a normal type
I have like 3 poison types on my main team I think 
Normal/poison
isnt dunsparce a better option then the shrew thing?
I’m not looking for stats or what’s better or anything
So I’m not going to take dunsparce
Dunsparce doesnt even have funky long fingers smh
I absolutely adore ||Cetoddle||. ❤️
whats that
Why is the trainer battle theme just stolen from calyrexs theme?
Or the horses or the calyrex and horse theme
Cant remember which one
But there’s like an identical beat
The music in general's just kind of forgettable. Apparently there's a big glitch with the Champion battle, so it just loops a few beeps and bloops every 6 seconds. 😮
wow
I’ve been liking the music so far tbh
But the trainer battle bothers me cuz it sounds so similar to calyrex theme
In comparison to the SwSh soundtrack, I like this one a lot better
Some themes like the gym leader theme is really bad tho
The early area theme is really nice and has a nice motive in a lot of the different tracks
||Area Zero|| is literally just Tower of God, so thats epic
And this town theme is just really hitting the spot for me for some reason
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFl5L13bXvw&list=PLfNa-LJARq9t2aLk2V24UbTmg2HVrTJDw&index=7
Welcome to the open world of Pokémon. Embark on an open-world adventure in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, arriving on Nintendo Switch on November 18th, 2022.
Please note that the majority of track titles are based on file names so if you know any of the tracks names/where they play or even have suggestions, let me know in the comments belo...
This is my favourite town theme too. 😄
I can't seem to find what this is, unless it's an anime opening. 😮
The OST of the anime
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rqEB4xNZU4&list=PLfNa-LJARq9urjmcC061kdTqpwSbKctT3&index=57
ANNOUNCEMENT 1: The Tower of God OST will be available WORLDWIDE from October 16th on all major platforms.
—————
2 hours and 20 minutes of original music.
—————
ANNOUNCEMENT 2: I have started a YouTube channel. I hope to be able to release single tracks from up-and-coming OSTs.
I will also post Behind the Scenes videos of projects, live-stream ...
What does collecting the random gimmighouls everywhere do?
And a badass damage sponge. Seriously... slaps the roof of the blissey this bad boy can withstand so much damage
And you haven't even seen BD yet
Unless it's a punch, don't let people punch blissey they don't like that
They hate punches
....honestly, if they ever had a mega evolution, they would have a broken ability that allows them to be immune to any physical attack
In fact.. physical attacks would heal the mon
And the ally
How do you make the map refresh the pokemon on it?
Other than walking a while away until they respawn
Despawn
||You need 999 coins to evolve it.|| 
Yikes
But don't worry! Catching ones in chests give you more coins!
||But you do get 50 per chest form you catch/defeat, and some random ones give you 3 or 4 coins.|| 🙂
I have 19 coins rn
I've just stoped collecting the small dudes
Can I just say how much I love the Fuecoco final evolution? Like we have this adorable little innocent pepper with no thought behind those eyes but love, and it turns into the Mexican version of Charon the Boatman. This thing turns into the literal god that guides souls to the afterlife.
I love it too just because it’s finally not a humanoid starter
Easier to find than the 999 korok seeds from Botw
Been a while since we had a nonhumanoid fire starter. Gen 2 was the last time, I think? Idk if Emboar or that magic fox counts
I would say they count as humanoid
Definitely
He can stand up, but only for when he sings into the bird
That's fine though, it's even less bipedal than a Swampert situation. 😅
whats that
The pokemon tells a bad joke, leaves, and a snowstorm gets triggered
damn
Was not expecting them to bust out that old ditty
There is a trainer in the bamboo forest that, when beaten says something about "fungus among us". Skipped right past it and only saw it for half a second sadly, but they definetly knew what they were doing 
Oh I’ve known that for a while
It’s used on hail teams on showdown
It’s weird that only slowking learns it though and why slowking specifically
the fuck is there a floating head in the ice zone?
glalie
You’ve never seen a glalie before?
nope
nah I've been here since fire red
||just double checking, there's no way to get the team star vehicles for yourself is there?||
||the rv salesman in the top right corner of the map will help you with that||
||ohmygod its a fuzzy ice moth||
its fucking adoribles
I want- no i Need it
give it now
||you mean Frosmoth? It was introduced in Gen 8||
yes. I've now have my team of Bugz
ready to cut and annihilate my enemies
all thats left... is to GRIND
||I can't find him||
I'm thinking about somthin else my bad.
Aww 😦
they still could be available
I haven't seen anything online about how or where to get them
THATS A HUGE BITCH
it? Naw ITS TIME TO FISH
mmm~ homeade fried catfish
just imagine the amount of fish ya could get from that... that Beast
it be a damn good yeild
same
then it perished
instantly
but the battle cut was so annoying
i had 6 coils stacked
HUH
BUT ITS FAR FROM OVER
and they vanished
HOLY FUCK
?
||sus...hi.||
😄
God damn, that squirll just one-shoted the bastard
lol
Because he's a happy big boy
Bulbapedia says they're "unobtainable" sadly
lmao

duh
Obviously
I wanted RV evalution
.....BUT THATS WHAT EVENT CODES ARE FOR, BABEEY
Level them up
Big ass big rig is just one go kart and a few engines
yeah... I guess so
well time for the final update to my Mega man lookin ass legindary
Oh hell naw that bread looks moldy as fuck
I ain't eating that shit, this guy must be outa his damn mind
and now a break, here is my car
the brown bread
that doesnt explain much
it had green in the bread
💀
mf thats mold
unles there is some fancy ass bread that has green spots
Durpy looks bigger and that concerns me
what have i created
its bigger then the legendaryt
should i replace my starter?
whats the fire type starters final evolution type
ghost
damn it
what
what type are they
pompador bad
a what
Oh yeah
not the twist i expected tbh
i gotta go bully team star rq
should i replace my starter?
also should i evolve?
its up to you
im indecisive
I think its a double twist
what starter got?
fire
but snek
i think friendship is boosted when they are walking with you and on picnics so if he is the one you have walking with you it would make sense he is more friendly otherwise idk
I think we're getting the official art for the new dudes now, pretty cool

Mikochi
dudunsparce
wait. my kitty doesnt stay cute?
Oh uh, whoops. I know we lifted the spoiler stuff for these dudes but now I feel bad
its ok. im just sad it doest stay cute. 
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
I like the middle evo
but it isnt a cute kitty.
it doesnt look like it would curl up on your lap on a cold day though
Lol, I get what you're saying
Hey maybe it does
You don't know how they work
I think what he means is the anthro nature of the line makes it look less like a cuddly pet like sprigatito
Indeed, I didn't even notice the tail at all
I heard rumors that bisharp has a evolution is that true
Mhm, yes
how do inobtain this evelution
its kinda complicated
"Level up after defeating three Bisharp that lead a pack of Pawniard" according to Bulbapedia
you need to have bisharp hold a specific item then beat up other bisharp holding that item
so gang violence
thats incorrect
Huh
I think the dex entries for Pawniard and Bisharp have always alluded that they work like this lol
nice 👍
This gen got some decent middle stages
So I finally completed Pokemon Scarlet
And I gotta say I like it…but at the same time I don’t like it…
fucking finaly
Can you do all of the paths at the same time?
yes
goofy ass sanwitch
I was put on death row by the pokemon I trained
E G G
Eevee for lunch
aright ill give it a shot
I might ignore the picnic gimmick thing entirely just because making sandwiches is boring
You get boosts if you make sandwiches
if only the sandwich minigame had shadows to know where the hell your putting things
or hell camera controlls
fuck it put hd rumble in the bastard as well
Hd crisp bread
Hell I can't wait to play the sandwich minigame
Because I want to make
The Ultimate Sandwich
its meh
I made a sandwich from every single sweet ingredient but eventually they started falling out
tru
Hey look! It's the making of the ultimate sandwich!
....7/10 needs more yams.
also
Plauge be on ye
When I got to the first city I spent like 2 hours just exploring it
WHY IS IT SO BIG
cause its basicaly the capital
I know but it’s still BIG
I feel guilty that I chose to go east with arven instead of going west with nemona :(
But I chose arven because he sounded like he would be so sad if I went west first
Game stop making me choose people it’s mean :(
Definitely the biggest challenge I’ve had from a Pokémon game in a while here tbh
I did my first terra raid
It was a steel type shroomish
Didn’t catch it though cuz I don’t want it
i have obtained orange rock doggo
Anyone know a good discord i can find some friends to play the co-op aspect of the new pokemon games with?
Do mons leveling up from auto battles not evolve?
Anyway Sprigatito learns seed bomb at level 17 for some reason
Jeez there’s so much to explore
And I somehow found an axew
Caught my third team member :)
A wattrel
I think I’m underleveled cuz it was level 21
Dear god yes I’m underleveled
A random trainer with an indeedee 1 shot my whole team
official art of a good sushi boy!
Anyone have a beast ball they'd be willing to trade me?
all my smogon sprites for s/v so far
Okay finally finished the game and I have thoughts
||when Heath did his original expedition, how were there paradox Pokemon there already? And what is the censored Pokémon that heath and the professor refer to in their notes responsible for terastals? Dlc, or the time machine itself?||
Smogon worthless fr
They still haven't banned Palafin
And from the sounds of it they don't even have plans to ban ||Roaring Moon||
Fucking useless
Cool new unique things? Those are too strong. Plain ass sweepers with 3 billion base attack? Perfect
Okay apparently the bans are official now and Roaring Moon is also on the chopping block but they haven't implemented it yet
Nvm that's just NAT Dex
Spoiler for post game ||so when you are fighting paradise protocol and you can’t send out your Pokémon your 1st Pokémon’s type becomes the box legends ||
I will confess, love this game, and the story I thought was great, didn't expect it from a Pokemon game. I got real sad at ||a moment that made me too sad to spoil it.||
Wondering if sometime some one wants to trade some scarlet mons to me so I can work towards a full dex. Got some violet mons to trade.
I chose the same thing, though mainly because Arven's quest and story sounded cooler.
Post game spoilers ||can you shiny hunt the second box legendary||
Rumor says no, so I didn't bother.
does anyone want to join me in a 5 star fighting mudsdale raid? no one is joining me and i cant do 5 star raids alone
But of course ||Flutter Mane|| is banned
(Definitely not biased because I like Misdreavus)
Why won’t my wattrel obey me? It’s the same level as the rest of my team
Oh jeez it evolved already
Why does wattrel evolve so early
is it early? it's about he same level as phanpy and makuhita
I shouldn’t be overleveled, I haven’t grinded much and have been fighting all the trainers I see
Unless this game has bad level curve
I’m still at the point of game of making my way to the klawf titan thing
it's a bit off if iyou ntend to fill the dex early
have you beaten any gym leaders?
No
I’m not filling the dex either
fight the psychic gym leader
then i've no clue
it fixes level curve
fr tho if you fight the bug gym leader pokemon up to level 25 obey you
then the grass gym is 30
oh yeah you're overleved they're all gonna stop obeying you soon
the bug gym is out the gate that nemona went through when the treasure hunt started
Imma go do it after I do the klawf thing
The trainers I was fighting in area five were all in the twenties so ig they gave me lots of exp
Nice
sure naka, whenever i'm available i can trade you some stuff
Soooo I guess your not supposed to explore the map before fighting important things?
Maybe that’s why I’m overleveled
Oh dear it's a Hypno now
Define overleveled
Levels get higher the further you are from the start area
My kilowattrel won’t obey me
Everything up north is level 50+
That's not overleveled. Just go do a gym or two.
Alternatively
Just keep using it till it's friendship gets high enough
But probably try some gyms
And for some reason heaps of trainers in area 4 are like level 20+
But the ones on the way to the klawf titan are around level 14
Oh
If you choose path of legends its the first titan
I always explore entire areas before fighting the important thing there
^ supposed to be
I’m at the city with the 2nd gym so ig I’ll fight it
I haven’t even explored west of the big city yet
I've completed the game to the point all I cab do is the dex
same
Ae this is why I don’t like open world games there’s too places to go
I need a stunky
i need pretty much all violet exclusives lmao
I need a few of the Scarlet exclusives
also still haven't found some of the scarlet exclusvies
Not koraidon or the paradoxes though
I have more Scarlet exclusives than Violet
But that's cause I chose to focus on them since I can't really get them on my own
Is it bad I named Hypno "Your Uncle"
Also I found a floating hidden item earlier
Jeez why is the 2nd gym leader so low level
WHERE DO I GET NOIBAT
i saw like 1 noibat the whole game and killed it accidentally
this is where you can find noibat in the map
btw this is very helpful
is toedscool a rare spawn, btw?
I want a shiny toedscruel because holy fuck that's a spice meatball
UGGGH I WANT ONE TOO
I'm trying to find the shiny pre evo of maushold but it's hard
I got a shiny Psyduck last night
I love how violet's dex entry of ||roaring moon|| references ||mega evolution||
Me too because it proves all those ||We Aren't In The Mega Universe 🤓|| people wrong
To be devils advocate, it did make sense until now
I was hoping that ||the mega pokemon aren't in our universe|| thing was real, because I hate how painful it is
||I choose to believe that it's restricted to Kalos, Hoenn and Alola||
Nah it's always been bullshit to me
I dunno if it's just because I love megas, or because it gave Gamefreak WAY too much credit
I just hated it
Well, ||mega stones are only available in those regions||
||More Kalos/Hoenn but yes||
(e.g. "Oh they don't exist for this super cool multiverse theory!!" Instead of the more accurate "Gamefreak is lazy and didn't wanna continue megas despite them being both popular and way more expandable"
I'd assume if you got your hands on a ||keystone and charizardite in Paldea (not talking in-game), you could theoretically mega evolve||
Right?
We have reason to believe that because Red mega evolves his Charizard in the anime and he's in Kanto
True
Also I don't think we need to censor talk of megas because they aren't plot relevant the only part that needs spoiler tagging is ||their connection to Roaring Moon||
I don't believe so
I'm pretty sure you can
But I never got too far in those games
Lol that's fair
Huh you can
Fucking weird honestly given that it's only gen 1 Mons
If any game would have been good to bring back megas, surely BDSP would have been it no?
Most megas are gen1 tho
I wish they had
Would have made those games bearable
I like the variety of megas honestly because lore wise they don't really have any One True Thing about them
They're all power ups, but some claim to be ancient genes reawakened, others claim to be unnatural
If anyone has a ditto but wants one for shiny breeding theres a trade code used for language swapping dittos
😮
I just traded with someone and swapped my english ditto for a japanese ditto
Oooh wow
Yeah
The code is 4448-4448, basically select your ditto and check the other ditto, if it's the aame language as you then just cancel the trade and try again until you get a different one
That way every can swap their dittos for shiny breeding
There's also trade codes for version exclusives
Here's the chart of all the version exclusive trade codes
If you're trying to trade one for the other then just put in the code
And then code 4448-4448 for language swapping dittos
It didn't work for me after like an hour, everyone was English. What did work was game8.co's trade board with Japan, got one immediately. 😄
Well it worked for me in like 5 minutes
Got a japanese and french ditto
It seems like it's been a very subjective experience. 😂
its so weird to have a game full of non-talking and singing etc.
and then theres the ending song
also the freaking ending scren with credits
IS LAGGING
Didn't lag for me
its not even rolling smoothly 
Your switch overheating?
I've had almost none of the performance issues people keep talking about
It's really strange to me how things like the PC boxes and Pokédex also leg when they're typically the smoothest parts of the game. 😦
I have a whole box of sprigatito
Does anyone want some or should i just release them all
Garganacl is up there with my top favourite Pokémon
It's rare that something with such a good design gets such a fun setup
pokemon breed in picnics
you could surprise trade them
Yeah that was my idea
Ik but that many
Do you need a subscription to surprise trade
Rip
Mine dont
do they have compatible egg groups
Lol
?
make a sandwich with egg power
for IVs, natures, shinies
Shinies?
no
breeding two mons from different regions boosts odds
thats why everyone wants a japanese ditto
so lareger
lets fucking go
release them
|| beast ball time ||
dududunsparce
How
does anyone know if you kill a pokemon thats seperate from a mass outbreak
like while youre trying to kill 60 of the mass outbreak mon
but you accidentally kill smth else
does that reset it
the Picnic shiny hunting method
ye
I've been trying to figure out what breaks a chain myself since I haven't been lucky with getting a shiny yet
I haven't found anything that says what breaks it :(
How do you people find so many shinys
tandemaus looking a bit different
my Luxray has glitched her colours three times so far and I love it
why do all of these look cool
you know what?
can gamefreak manage to make this somewhat canon?
just for funsies?
my friend had said that she is "here before gamefreak says this is a feature not a bug" 😂
that would be cool tho ngl
I want to believe this was intentional by some employee
To give luxray more badass stats
How do I get the other iron mons? I got treads
Can’t you look up a YouTube video saying how to get them
Does anybody like dunsparce's evolution? I'm starting to grow on it since it evolved for me.
Could be better
Like, out of all the fanmade evolutions out there on the internet which would you have chosen?
It's design is alright but it's ai doesn't account for its length
It's mostly good with preserving it's derpyness
But it's animations just don't have the charm
Look, dunsparce is derpy and I love his derpiness...but it could've been kind of like the idea of Dudunsparce but way longer, and not just 2 or 3 segments and you could've had to kill multiple dunsparce to get the evolution! It just feels like they didn't think outside of the box on this one.
Yeah it's fine that it's still derpy but they could've done the concept with more visible effort
Instead of the joke kinda being that nothing much happens and it's just the same but a bit bigger
Honestly my biggest issue with it is the tools it has available
Very few good moves to actually make use of Serene Grace (upgrading from Headbutt to Iron Head would have been obvious)
It's not dragon/normal, which actually could have worked well with coil/dragon Rush/serene grace for flinch but without the stab it's not really worth it
Look, I'm not expecting something awesome...but something that is a great gift for dunsparce, since it was a rare pokemon and didn't get anything since gen 2
It's signature makes no use of Serene Grace either, and whilst busting protection is good it could have been given something like a percentage crit chance which would be boosted allowing Dundunsparce to be at least some sort of bulk-setup killer
My best idea would be glare + coil + Zen headbutt + dragon Rush but that means no hyper drill and no sustain
And far more irritatingly, it has a bunch of special attacks (many with percentage effects that would be boosted) and yet they gave it poor special attack
I kind of like Dudunsparce's design
Especially given the nature of this Gen's normal type gym leader
But I feel kit wise it's wasted potential
Yea Definitely could have been better But they shouldn't have made him something cool
It dosent need to be cool, it is perfect the way it is
It just has to be derpy
That's what I said
I actually prefer Pawmot to the rest of the line
I get disliking it in the context of it barely changing
But it is still an upgrade imo
I like it's anime hair
No my problem is Pawmo
So you decided to challenge me.
(no seriously. this is what's on my brain when I see kingambit now)
if you give me a shiny maushold ill give you a shiny toedscool
is toedscruel fast? if not when i get the shiny i will desperately find someone to give me a shiny maushold preevo. has to be level 1 baby
It's fast but it's only ability makes all its status moves low priority
How do yall find so many shinys
I mean it's in exchange for ignoring abilities which isn't awful but I think game freak were overestimating it
ditt
They should have just had it ignore abilities without the low priority
o
I mean, Gholdengo is immune to the only status effect that matters to it regardless of its ability
Really Toedscruel's best target is Garganacl
And an ability which counters 1 Pokémon that can just switch out isn't anything special
Yea
auggghhhhh
Ducks are weird
Use the 4448-4448 code
i dont have a ditto
where do i find a ditto?
they're disgused as something
I found one disguised as a donphan
Near the water gym
Accidentally KOd it tho
ok how about someon trade me their ditto? i ahve a sprigatitto
Am I wrong in thinking that an Orthworm with Electric Tera type would be really strong due to Earth Eater?
i thought about that but it has no electric moves
The tera type boosts moves of the same type, but also removes original type weaknesses while leaving STAB intact.
It would just remove the weaknesses of the pokemon so that nothing's super effective.
i thought it changed the stab
tera blast
It adds 1.5x modifier to the new type, but doesn't remove the old STAB
oh
It's a weird mechanic that isn't explained in super great detail.
yeah
From Serebii; "When your pokemon Terastallizes, it changes its entire type to a single pure type matching its Tera Type. ... If the pokemon is no longer of its original types, those types still get the STAB of 1.5x, and the new Tera Type also gets the STAB of 1.5x. If the pokemon Terastallizes into a type which is the same as one of its original types, then the boost on moves of that type is 2x instead."
thx
Steel is honestly best for Orthworm imo because no poison
body press is its best move due to its very high defense id say
I'm currently trying to make a Steel monotype team, so poison resistance isn't the biggest thing for Orthworm to worry about when I have Revavroom.
shed tail is pretty useful on it in certain situations too
Revavroom's coverage suuuucks but if you run shed tail you can at least use that to get it set up
Zen headbutt is its strongest off-type coverage but I'd honestly run bulldoze over it
Because Zen doesn't actually help it damage anything that walls it
It should get flare blitz but it doesn't
Not quite as godlike as these three kings, but hey he's tryin'
Kings more like cringe
Garganacl sweeeep
actually...
Yeah...
Flare Blitz would fit
Current setup is Corviknight, Kingambit, Gholdengo, Tinkaton, Revavroom, and Orthworm. Trying to use the new pokemon where I can, but Corviknight was an instant fave from SwSh.
wheezes at max defense for salt golem
I actually owned one in my SWSH days!
Her name was Ashildr.
Which doubles as it's main attack stat with a max 404 health and immunity to all status conditions + ghost resistance
I name mine Percival. On one hand because of Vox Machina, and on the other because I had a Knights of the Round Table theme for my steel type in SwSh.
Oh! fair
Not to mention recover and it's move which just so happens to kill any steel or water type in 4 turns, any other Mon in 8
Good luck Mega Steelix
Oh god I forgot about salt cure
This is what I'm saying!!
That's a wild move.
Yeah, that thing is crazy.
Really what I've struggled with most so far is shit like Gholdengo which can do too much damage to you before salt cure takes it down
And shed tail setup, because there are some Mons which it can't break the substitute of when they swap in
man... imagine getting your ass handed to you by a living statue made of coins
that was 3 ft tall.
I mean I'd likely kick it's ass if I was running earthquake
But I gotta have some sort of hazard placement
So it's got stealth rocks
Is Gyro Ball any good for Revavroom due to Spin Out?
My favourite part about Garganacl is all the people that don't know about Purifying salt and think "ah yes, I'll toxic it with Clodsire"
I freaked out when I saw this, one of my top 3 new Pokémon
(Spoiler for late game)
Nooo no no, run iron head
Spinout ain't worth it
fdsaafdssdf
yeah imagine the look on their face
I've been running iron head, poison jab (could run gunk shot but I'm unlucky) and life orb
Gear Shift is super good so like
You don't wanna waste that speed
Frankly with how many good special attacks it gets and it's slow-dedicated moves they should have just given it multiple forms
And then the last one is a status move like toxic or toxic spikes?
E.g. normal car, slow truck
Or a coverage move like Zen?
Bulldoze, like I said before Zen doesn't actually do much for you outside of fighting types, but most fighting types will take a chunk of damage with poison jab/gunk shot or iron head anyway
Plus I'll have Corvi and Tinka for fighting anyways.
It's a weak move but it's the only coverage it has for steel walls, and it can double as a finishing support attack by neutering someone's speed if you can't kill em
Alternatively you could have something like parting shot but a setup Mon with support like that is kinda meh
Especially when your only option for shed tail is on a slow Mon
What Gholdengo moveset gives the most trouble against Garganacl in your experience?
Honestly just about anything so long as they aren't stupid enough to try ghost moves
I saw a substitute/will'o'wisp/hex/cash splash earlier which scared the shit out of me
Currently thinking something like Nasty Plot, Make it Rain, then maybe status move and hex.
It couldn't land will o wisp cuz of purifying salt obv but I had no way to break it's sub
I get the Shed Tail from Orth and then switch into Gold boy.
Honestly I don't really use Gholdengo, I didn't enjoy it when I tried so I'm not the best to ask
That's fair.
Not because it's bad by any means, I just don't enjoy it's playstyle
Big fan of the design tho
Overhated.
It's weird in a good way.
Just wish the coin surfing was more prominent
I think it will be fun to see Scream Tail modded into SSBU over normal Jigglypuff
Thinking Life Orb or Choice Specs for Gholdielocks atm.
Latter would be rough for Hex setup.
I think it would be fun to see an actual good Pokémon modded into SSBU over Greninja/hj
MY MAN
I wouldn't use choice, it's got too much potential move wise imo
Life orb it is.
Shoulda made salt cure heal allies though
Heal allies by 1/4th health, but water and steel types by 1/8th health like the reverse of enemies
Take some damage away to give it healing capabilities?
Totally not op
No need just make it heal
If Palafin can just show up out of nowhere, Garganacl can be the ultimate support Mon
(the funny thing is tera fighting Garganacl is my counter to Palafin. Even if they're running zen headbutt they either won't one shot or (more likely) will go for jet punch, and at that point their fate is sealed with salt cure.)
Nice dolphin superhero which becomes unbeatable with setup
Enjoy the 4 turns you two have left together
nemona is goku
AH GOD
Palafin, from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, is a MONSTER.

Goodra though.
too big
nevermind its only 5 foot
Third non english ditto
I'm taller than that
It's just rotund
I got two japanese dittos and a french ditto
330 pounds though
Chonky
I like goodra
I think its cute
My favorite psuedo
Ditto's french name is apparently Métamorph
My ditto be like:
Does every pokemon just have a chance to be replaced by a ditto?
(Or zorua if it's night)
only in certain areas
west province area 2 and 3
I AM FIGHTING A DITTO AND AN EEVEE IS JUST CASUALLY WALKING AROUND BESIDE IT
are you looking for an eevee?
Not really but I wouldn't mind one
yeah
But I want the ditto more
Ditto = More Eevees from the one I have
Hero form
I honestly think Hero form looks so wack
yeah
BUT THAT ATTACK STAT THOOO
I didn't say it was bad-
Just looks funky
This eevee really broke out of a quick ball immediately and then died of crit

So many dittos
This is my fifth I think
Now I can have five dittos and my Meowscarada
Breeding shiny sprig
Nvm
It died
Oh well
4 is still plenty
Does this game have bulk release?
I have a whole box to get rid of
Does anyone want a hidden ability sprigatito?
I have 9
If not I'll just wonder trade them
Can I have a ditto?
Hey btw guys I would like help. I want to know what would look best for quaquavel with Christmas colors?
Consider this as an alternative shiny form
I have a spare ditto if you want
I was about to trade it for a different language ditto but I already got 3
My one current complaint about gen 9 comp (aside from bullshit smogon choices) is Dragapult being popular again
It's soooo fucking boriiiing
I'll dm ya
And corviknight
Ok so I’ve explored this entire area so far I just need to talk to all the npcs in the gym leader town and also do klawf titan thing
Honestly don't mind Corviknight, it's actually somewhat interesting
And oftentimes you just happen to counter it with something you'd have on your team regardless
But Dragapult is just boring and annoying as fuck
Once again I stand by the fact that it didn't need to be a pseudo legend
They should have just not made it a mixed attacker
At least that way you'd know what random bullshit it was throwing at you
wait are titans max size
I only have 7 hidden ability Sprigatitos now
finaly found another bigun
i wish orthworm was bigger :(
They're 8'02".
Well... yeah.
Honestly I want him to be a little taller in width and breadth
Don't get me wrong, he's a long boi
but he needs to be big along with being long
....
cue the "that's what she said"s
ingame he is small
what about giant train dunsparce
dunsparce is expected size for me tbh
well we need to teach dudunsparce a move stronger than hyper drill.
one that has a drill that will pierce the heavens
then it would evolve and surpass waillord in height
yes
yeah maybe that's why his evolution is like that
he's god's perfect little creature
na dunsparce can flutter
but he too heavy now
also only 70 or so pounds
not very good with body press or whatever that weight dependent move is
heavy slam?
DFASDF
I'm laughing that dudunsparce is as long as Kyogre, the devil, and ultimate zygarde
Omg I can dash on koraidon now
wait what lmao
yea its great
wait till you finish the titans
but he's still not as big as
HECKING DONDOZO
wait WHAT
lmao kyoger sucks then
the flying type whail and some fish
but they are all heavy
heavy slam no do
My current team is
Tacodile Skeledirge
Shoes Toedscruel
Minecraft Naclstack
Kingsire Clodsire
Upsparce Dunsparce
Mango Pawniard
my current team is
I didn't have a picture lol
four dunsparces, a croc, and a big dunsparce
Cooool
yeah I know his party really well
Dunce-dunsparce
Durpy-dudunsparce
Dummy-dunsparce
Dusty-dunsparce
Duh-dunsparce
Chilly-idk whatever the crocs final evo is
skeledirge
wait thats what tis called
Yes
he sometimes stands, only partially
lol
oh yea i almost forgot it sings
thats probably the starter you would expect to sing the least
it's like those people that don't look like they sing, but then they do and you do a spittake
yea
WAIT
I UNDERSTAND THE STEM NOW
thats why he is named chilly
His little flame hair isn't a stem
It's two little pieces of straw or sticks for a nest
which become a full nest of fire as it evolves
I was going to the first team star base and I was on a cliff and then I just
Got teleported to the gate in a cutscene
yea
get a good ground move
Me realizing Eviolite Dunsparce is a thing now
I have dig but it didn’t do much and the car 1 shot my shroodle using it
yea
Maybe I’ll relight it once shroodle evolves into grafaiai
Btw when do you obtain the box legendaries to use on your team?
Oh
Ok, how do I encounter higher level raids? I only get 3 stars and only via random raids sometimes
win more
Y'know
Aqua Step has me thinking Flame Charge and Trail Blaze should also be 80 power
?
Can you soft reset your starter for it to be female? Not shiny, I know that
most likely
i believe its greatly effected by your players gender
but i am not completely sure
i just heard that
Ok this is annoying because I can’t find the how to anywhere online. What button do I press to get a wild pokemon’s name to show in the overworld?
Geeta is forgettable? Cynthia is only remembered because she was hot.
I don’t think this dude understands character development
Scarlet & Violet glitches out of context:
||https://twitter.com/sky_freedom_/status/1595506446191718400 ||
😂
I call bull on nemona. Nemona didn't need development because she was literally already better than us. Nemona is definitely not like hop and Barry because she literally never complains and is better than us
Hop actually whines about losing
Hop and Barry were TOO happy. Nemona is just abundant and bubbly, but she’s also rememberable. I loved her from the second I saw her
I'm sorry did Cynthia had a personality? As far as I know she is only remembered for being hot and being the best champion
lmao
Was she the best champion? I liked Alder more than I liked Cynthia
and if that's not enough, I have another
She is good compedatively
I mean dragon pokemon are pretty hard to beat until you get a Fairy type
i've heard horror stories of people getting their asses wiped by her team
non dragons with dragon moves
This is the best game just for its glitches
"no reason boner" and "erection" are my name candidates for the first wigglet I catch btw
But what if it evolves?
Have you seen it’s evolution?
Get the shiny
hm, you're right
I might have to change its name to "Erections"
Just name it “My Rock”
oh yeah cuz its hard
There is already a pokemon that fits the bill
Shhh
It is salty
Wait
Oh. I thought you meant another one
You know you can't use it compedqtive right? Because of the name
PFTTT COMPETATIVE?
Bitch I'm a casual
No Reason Boner's not going anywhere competative
But don't you want people to see?
The only competitive I have to go through is the Nintendo Switch's profanity filter
DAMN THESE FUCKERS WERE BUSY. Made my first ever picnic and I brought my new ditto. I found seven eggs in the basket at one time
I only got six pokemon, did ditto have fun with itself, wtf
Looks like Ditto had himself...
puts on sunglasses
an orgy for one.
YEAAAAAAAH
I'm trying to get a shiny maushold
