the Titan difficulty is honestly kind of pathetic

fickle birch
#

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. 😉

lament glen
#

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

fickle birch
#

Oh is it one of those annoying ones? Katten was having the same problem. 😢

lament glen
#

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

white jungle
#

Garganacl Vs Clodsire setups when they realise what purifying salt does (all is lost the Minecraft salt pyramid is too strong)

quiet frost
#

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
lament glen
#

wow, as if I hadn't leveled up my teammember in 10 play hours george

white jungle
#

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

lament glen
white jungle
#

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

quiet frost
# lament glen I feel like they are jumping the gun lmao. Isnt it way too early to ban half of ...

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.
quiet frost
white jungle
#

Fire, non contact moves, special attacks

lament glen
white jungle
#

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

fickle birch
white jungle
#

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

quiet frost
# white jungle Fire, non contact moves, special attacks

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.

lament glen
fickle birch
#

But yes, it's not helped by the fact that they keep bringing Landorus back without nerfs. 😦

white jungle
quiet frost
fickle birch
#

They'll nerf ||the new quartet|| before release, but not Landorus? Come on. Unamused

lament glen
#

Thats a good thing

fickle birch
#

I'm just glad that stall has been nerfed dramatically. 😄

quiet frost
fickle birch
#

It's not fun or skilled, anyone who says otherwise is a charlatan. 😛

quiet frost
#

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.

lament glen
#

Sounds more fun than every player using landorus for the 9th year in a row

fickle birch
#

Requiring a Pokémon on a team to counter another one is bad, yeah. 😦

#

Landorus stagnation is worse (it should be in Ubers). 😛

quiet frost
lament glen
#

~~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 huehue ~~

quiet frost
#

If a Landorus-T sets up, there's a lot of counterplay to handle it.

#

Literally any ice-type move, for example.

lament glen
#

It's still the same mon for idk how many years

#

Thats just boring as hell

quiet frost
#

Yeah but you could say the same about Blissey.

#

It and Chansey have been staples since Gen 1.

lament glen
#

But Blissey is a funny ball guy

#

It's okay if you are a funny ball guy

quiet frost
#

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.

white jungle
#

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

meager oasis
#

My team so far in scarlet is sprigatito and shroodle

fickle birch
meager oasis
#

Yes

lament glen
#

I like the posion guy. Have him on my team as well

fickle birch
#

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. 😮

hazy scarab
meager oasis
#

Grafaiai definitely feels unevolved but I still love it anyway

lament glen
#

A mon that really grew on me from seeing it ingame is the first stage of the whale ball guy with legs

meager oasis
hazy scarab
#

shroodle is a normal type

lament glen
#

I have like 3 poison types on my main team I think huehue

meager oasis
#

Normal/poison

hazy scarab
#

isnt dunsparce a better option then the shrew thing?

meager oasis
#

I’m not looking for stats or what’s better or anything

hazy scarab
#

neither am i

meager oasis
#

So I’m not going to take dunsparce

lament glen
#

Dunsparce doesnt even have funky long fingers smh

fickle birch
hazy scarab
#

whats that

meager oasis
#

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

fickle birch
#

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. 😮

meager oasis
#

wow

#

I’ve been liking the music so far tbh

#

But the trainer battle bothers me cuz it sounds so similar to calyrex theme

hazy scarab
#

yea sw/sh had great gym themes

#

these ones are meh

lament glen
#

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

What does collecting the random gimmighouls everywhere do?

viscid adder
lament glen
#

And you haven't even seen BD yet

forest egret
#

Unless it's a punch, don't let people punch blissey they don't like that

viscid adder
#

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

meager oasis
#

How do you make the map refresh the pokemon on it?

#

Other than walking a while away until they respawn

#

Despawn

fickle birch
meager oasis
#

Yikes

viscid adder
#

But don't worry! Catching ones in chests give you more coins!

fickle birch
#

||But you do get 50 per chest form you catch/defeat, and some random ones give you 3 or 4 coins.|| 🙂

meager oasis
#

I have 19 coins rn

lament glen
#

I've just stoped collecting the small dudes

devout sigil
#

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.

meager oasis
#

I love it too just because it’s finally not a humanoid starter

devout sigil
#

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

meager oasis
hazy scarab

def

#

the crock is on all 4s

#

no fuecoco tho

#

it is on all 4s i believe

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. 😅

viscid adder

Was not expecting them to bust out that old ditty

lament glen
#

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 huehue

meager oasis
#

It’s used on hail teams on showdown

#

It’s weird that only slowking learns it though and why slowking specifically

Or eh, I think it's kinda cute. The final evo I'm not into much though

viscid adder
#

Aw snap official art

tawny willow
forest egret
#

Lol, I get what you're saying

viscid adder
#

You don't know how they work

forest egret
#

I think what he means is the anthro nature of the line makes it look less like a cuddly pet like sprigatito

viscid adder
#

Ah

#

Well what I think is interesting is that their tail stays short

forest egret
#

Indeed, I didn't even notice the tail at all

night python
#

I heard rumors that bisharp has a evolution is that true

forest egret
#

Mhm, yes

night python
#

how do inobtain this evelution

tawny willow
#

its kinda complicated

forest egret
#

"Level up after defeating three Bisharp that lead a pack of Pawniard" according to Bulbapedia

tawny willow
#

you need to have bisharp hold a specific item then beat up other bisharp holding that item

night python

so gang violence

Right?

white jungle

#

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||

Mhm

#

And you can mega evolve in Let's Go, can't you?

white jungle
#

I don't believe so

upper lake

I'm pretty sure you can

white jungle
#

But I never got too far in those games

upper lake
#

Lol that's fair

white jungle
#

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?

vestal aurora
#

Most megas are gen1 tho

upper lake
#

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

If anyone has a ditto but wants one for shiny breeding theres a trade code used for language swapping dittos

upper lake
#

😮

bronze pawn
#

I just traded with someone and swapped my english ditto for a japanese ditto

upper lake
#

Oooh wow

bronze pawn
#

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

Can’t you look up a YouTube video saying how to get them

quiet frost
#

Does anybody like dunsparce's evolution? I'm starting to grow on it since it evolved for me.

patent rivet
#

Could be better

quiet frost
#

Like, out of all the fanmade evolutions out there on the internet which would you have chosen?

hazy scarab
#

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

quiet frost
#

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.

limpid depot
#

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

white jungle
#

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

quiet frost
#

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

white jungle
#

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

hazy scarab
quiet frost
#

It just has to be derpy

hazy scarab
quiet frost
#

No I’m agreeing with you

#

The other evolution I felt they did dirty was Pawmi

white jungle
#

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

quiet frost
#

No my problem is Pawmo

viscid adder

So you decided to challenge me.

(no seriously. this is what's on my brain when I see kingambit now)

sorry

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

white jungle
#

It's fast but it's only ability makes all its status moves low priority

quiet frost
#

terrible. he is gonna die

#

how do you even breed maushold?

hazy scarab
#

How do yall find so many shinys

white jungle
clear crest
white jungle
#

They should have just had it ignore abilities without the low priority

clear crest
#

o

white jungle
#

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

viscid adder

Accidentally KOd it tho

#

ok how about someon trade me their ditto? i ahve a sprigatitto

analog agate
#

Am I wrong in thinking that an Orthworm with Electric Tera type would be really strong due to Earth Eater?

shell grail
#

i thought about that but it has no electric moves

analog agate
#

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.

shell grail
#

i thought it changed the stab

viscid adder
analog agate
#

It adds 1.5x modifier to the new type, but doesn't remove the old STAB

shell grail
#

oh

analog agate
#

It's a weird mechanic that isn't explained in super great detail.

shell grail
#

yeah

analog agate
#

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."

shell grail
#

thx

white jungle
#

Steel is honestly best for Orthworm imo because no poison

shell grail
#

body press is its best move due to its very high defense id say

analog agate
#

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.

shell grail
#

shed tail is pretty useful on it in certain situations too

white jungle
#

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

viscid adder
white jungle
#

Garganacl sweeeep

viscid adder
analog agate
#

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.

viscid adder

#

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.

white jungle
#

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

viscid adder
#

Oh god I forgot about salt cure

white jungle
#

This is what I'm saying!!

analog agate
#

That's a wild move.

white jungle
#

It's honestly kinda busted

#

The whole Mon

analog agate
#

Yeah, that thing is crazy.

white jungle
#

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

viscid adder
#

man... imagine getting your ass handed to you by a living statue made of coins

#

that was 3 ft tall.

white jungle
#

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

analog agate
#

Is Gyro Ball any good for Revavroom due to Spin Out?

white jungle
#

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"

quiet frost
#

I freaked out when I saw this, one of my top 3 new Pokémon

(Spoiler for late game)

white jungle
#

Spinout ain't worth it

viscid adder
white jungle
#

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

analog agate
#

And then the last one is a status move like toxic or toxic spikes?

white jungle
#

E.g. normal car, slow truck

analog agate
#

Or a coverage move like Zen?

white jungle
# analog agate 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

analog agate
#

Plus I'll have Corvi and Tinka for fighting anyways.

white jungle
#

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

analog agate
#

What Gholdengo moveset gives the most trouble against Garganacl in your experience?

white jungle
#

I saw a substitute/will'o'wisp/hex/cash splash earlier which scared the shit out of me

analog agate
#

Currently thinking something like Nasty Plot, Make it Rain, then maybe status move and hex.

white jungle
#

It couldn't land will o wisp cuz of purifying salt obv but I had no way to break it's sub

analog agate
#

I get the Shed Tail from Orth and then switch into Gold boy.

white jungle
#

Honestly I don't really use Gholdengo, I didn't enjoy it when I tried so I'm not the best to ask

analog agate
#

That's fair.

white jungle
#

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

patent rivet
#

I think it will be fun to see Scream Tail modded into SSBU over normal Jigglypuff

analog agate
#

Thinking Life Orb or Choice Specs for Gholdielocks atm.

#

Latter would be rough for Hex setup.

white jungle
#

I think it would be fun to see an actual good Pokémon modded into SSBU over Greninja/hj

viscid adder
white jungle
analog agate
#

Life orb it is.

white jungle
#

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

analog agate
#

Take some damage away to give it healing capabilities?

white jungle
#

Totally not op

white jungle
#

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.)
