pokemon-winds-waves

[warped abyss]

finally.. took like 5 pokeballs, 6 great balls and 5 ultra balls to catch a drifbloon... oh not to mention I even toxic'd it later to get its hp down without killing it

also why did they remove the ability to turn of battle animations to make things faster...?

[warped abyss]

S-So.... uhh...

I found a ditto and was glad because i didn't have to specifically search for it.. turn around and see a scyther I needed for the pokedex... went to catch it

And it was a Zorua... another pokemon i needed for the dex disguised as a scyther...

[tired drum]

Well I guess this is all I have left for the dex
Gligar
Hakamo-o
Kommo-o
Cramorant
The Loyal Three

[dusky epoch]

||Is unmasked Ogerpon considered a spoiler?||

[tired drum]

Probably

[dusky epoch]

Nooooooo, I wanted to use this for the new pokemon discussion channel

[tired drum]

Omggg

||I love that she's a silly gremlin, but I don't like it for the "very balanced set" of 100 power crit move, 20% damage boost, high speed, one of four types and abilities to pick from, and also a stat boost on tera||

Never using on a team ever out of principle

[dusky epoch]

||Then again, it's 550 BST, I find Mold Breaker for the fire form a bit disappointing||

[tired drum]

It's not a bad ability though

||even with 550, it has 120 atk, and 110 speed||

[dusky epoch]

||That's what a grass tera Heatran deserves||

I mean, you can say the same about not using legendaries/Pseudo's out of principle 😄

[tired drum]

I think I've just always not been a fan of Legends, I like some of them but only for silly reasons like randomizer nuzlocke Xerneas with Huge Power I named "Massive"

My starter was a Zekrom with pickpocket

Beautiful

[tired drum]

Lol this went down quick

[snow glade]

Doesn’t heatran have flame body?

[wraith axle]

that's what moldbreaker is for

[snow glade]

Hmm

Acceptable

[fallen stratus]

Also Hearthflame is fire type so it can't get burned anyway

[karmic escarp]

You mean flash fire?

[fallen stratus]

(though in competitive it usually runs Flash Fire)

[snow glade]

i meant flame body

[crisp rivet]

It has flash fire

[vernal sedge]

This took longer than I was thinking it would but

[sick merlin]

Weirdly this is one if the most tame and balanced game legends they’ve released in a while

[hoary gazelle]

I at least have a vulpix but i believe i have both

[quartz locust]

Would you trade the vulpix?

[storm bone]

Im missing 20 Pokémon to complete the pokedex which are: pawmot, happiny, slakoth , bounsweet, steenee , fraxure , axorus , espeon, gothita, gothitelle , brambleghast, rabsca ,hipowdon , krokorok , krookodile , sandaconda , volcarona , palafin, slowking , gholdengho . If anyone has one of these that I could register please tell me

[wispy kernel]

get good 😎

[storm bone]

?

[hoary gazelle]

Yea, np

[craggy urchin]

does anyone have the other version of armorogue or any other violet exclusives

[craggy urchin]

i could probably get some of those im in the middle of evolving a pawmot

[tired drum]

Horay I beat the pokedex fr fr

||fezandipity sucked||

[craggy urchin]

i got you a pawmot

[tired drum]

I have several I can give you

[warped abyss]

Doing some tera raids solo to grind my Gallade to lvl 100 to make catching the chinese named pokemon easier since Wo-chien gave me so much trouble
without any atk boost, i hit this lycanrock 4* rock tera raid boss with Sacred sword on my Sharpness gallade,
It did half so i was like 'Oh yeah, thats alot'
Lycanrock: hold my beer
proceeds to one shot my gallade with counter

[dusky drum]

Tera raids are honestly so dumb

Arboliva can barely kill my Ursaluna, but then after one single growth (on every players screen)

Bam one shot

Because crouching player hidden stat boosts

[tawdry flame]

Also chandelure is such a pain to deal with if you don't have a Pokémon with own tempo or ghouldengo

It keeps spamming confuse ray every time and it knows when you Pokémon is no longer confused and confuses them again

[warped abyss]

how about a toedscruel that has spore? That spores everyone oh so easily

Literally set up my blissey with Electric terrain to get rid of its ability to put people to sleep

[fallen stratus]

Tbf Tera Arboliva uses Sun Boosted Growth

So it gains Double damage after one boost

[warped abyss]

few after my blissey went from 47 to 62 I was able to actually use it to help my team stay alive and awake against this annoying 6* Toedscruel

it gave me a ability patch for the annoyance too

So thats nice

[alpine steppe]

||I para flinched that thing into oblivion. Not even a turn it could attack. 🤣 ||

[tired drum]

Fair idea

[alpine steppe]

Ribombee Stun Spore + the Vulture + kings rock + air slash

[warped abyss]

Oh... no wonder i was catching all the Paradox pokemon in one quick ball... its basically guarenteed because catching them off guard doubles the catch rate....

Oh wait thats asleep

whoops

52% chance still tho

[storm bone]

Could I register them please?

[tired drum]

Can't right now but we can set up a trade later

[storm bone]

Oki

[tired drum]

Ok I can trade you stuff

[storm bone]

@tired drum sorry for late reply can you still do it ?

[tired drum]

Yea

[storm bone]

Booting up my switch asap

Trade code is 28095432

[tired drum]

Ok just finishing dialogue

[storm bone]

Just reminding myself

[storm bone]

Oh oki

[tired drum]

Nsh

[storm bone]

[storm bone]

Oki

Never realized I didn’t have deerling

[tired drum]

Lol

Snuck by you

[storm bone]

Wait I know why , what you’re giving me are multiple forms Pokémons and I only have registered one of their form

Cuz I definitely have a tatsugiri

[tired drum]

Ooo

Ok

Sawsbuck?

[storm bone]

I have him

Thank you for your help

[tired drum]

Yea of course

[storm bone]

Updated list so that we aren’t lost : fraxure , krokorok, palafin , gholdengho , happiny

[tired drum]

Ok

[storm bone]

I think that’s all I’m missing even if you don’t have the rest thank you

[tired drum]

I mean if you have axew and sandile it's lvl up

[storm bone]

Oki

[tired drum]

Palafin evo in union circle

Gholdengo 1000 coins

And breed for happiny

[storm bone]

Oki , do you mind joining union circle with me so that I can evolve it?

[tired drum]

Sure!

[storm bone]

JL8GFL

[tired drum]

I think lvl 20 something

Close to 30

[storm bone]

Mine is 40

[tired drum]

Cool

Rare candy?

[storm bone]

I think you gotta have a finnizen in your first slot

Nope sadly ran out

We’ll go to a wild Pokémon

[tired drum]

We can do a raid for candy

[storm bone]

No let just go to the mountains lake there is a glimmora level 76

[tired drum]

Ah ok

[storm bone]

Found it

You have a finnizen in your party?

[tired drum]

No, do I need one too? I thought it was just union

[storm bone]

Yes you do

[tired drum]

Ah ok

[storm bone]

Bring him out of the pokeball

[tired drum]

Ok do now

[storm bone]

Thank you

[tired drum]

Yea

Yea I just hadn't

I forgot about it

[storm bone]

Go to their grandparents house and you can obtain it

Il only missing 4 Pokémon for the pokedex

[tired drum]

Which?

[storm bone]

Not the kitakami dex

[tired drum]

Oh yeaaa

[storm bone]

[tired drum]

No I finished new dex last night

[tired drum]

Truuueeee

[storm bone]

I only have around 500 coins

Did you defeat all the ogre clan members, I just did last night

[tired drum]

I'll go, good luck coin finding!

[storm bone]

[tired drum]

I hadn't tried yet, I've found a bunch but didn't do anything yet

[storm bone]

Oh okay

[storm bone]

Just missing gholdengho now 😭

[hot crest]

That one’s an annoying one to go for :( gl!

[quiet frost]

Anybody for oger Hunter ?

[glossy terrace]

Does anyone have the ability to give me a Grookey Egg?

[vernal sedge]

Gimme like 5 minutes to breed one and I can hit you up

[glossy terrace]

Could you do it with Hidden ability? Also thanks but i will be home in about 30 minutes

[vernal sedge]

Not sure if I'll be able to, only have the one with it's basic ability

[craggy urchin]

Can anyone trade me a ceruledge or some paradox Pokémon?

[glossy terrace]

@craggy urchin when im Home i can give you some paradox but what game you have?

[craggy urchin]

Scarlet

[glossy terrace]

Well i also have Scarlet so i cant help you much

[craggy urchin]

Ah all good

[vernal sedge]

No worries, we've all been there lol

Catching a shiny Cramorant rn anyway

[vernal sedge]

Almost swum past a shiny Crawdaunt and it has the Cloudy mark

[glossy terrace]

Im totally not envious what do you want for it? I mean the Egg

[vernal sedge]

Just send whatever, I don't mind

If you want a free shiny though I grabbed a spare Cramorant

Need a male one specifically and found two females lol

[glossy terrace]

[dense dune]

[storm bone]

432 gimmighoul coin left 😭

[quartz locust]

I hate getting Gholdengo

Also that it's shiny is atrocious

[round canopy]

Still on the fence about getting the dlc

[craggy urchin]

You get All the starters?

Idk if that helps you decide but apparently you do

[quartz locust]

I just got a shiny tatsugiri

I’m happy that it’s the white version as well

[warped abyss]

I'm getting close....

Out of the violet exclusives, i just need most of the paradox mons and the other legendary....

I also need sprigatito... everything else i can get on my own

[craggy urchin]

I need the violet exclusives the rest I’m able to get on my own

[craggy urchin]

Make a new account on your switch start the game pick sprigatito then beat the tutorial and then use Pokémon home to transfer it from the account

[fringe agate]

Got super lucky today and go a Jangmo-o shiny in only 30 eggs.

[warped abyss]

too much work, I refuse

the perfect use for the masterball.

[odd cave]

DON’T DO THIS

THE MAGIKARP COULD HAVE ESCAPED

[hot crest]

Holy moly nice!!

[quiet frost]

can anyone help me with tera raids?

code is 4102 if anyone is willing to

[warped abyss]

I'm so close to completeing the pokedex... i just need someone in violet to trade me their legendary and paradox pokemon ... and someone to give me a sprigatito, Might try wonder trading for a grass starter tho

.... I got a japanese gimmighoul I wish it wasn't a gimmighoul....

actually I'll breed a bunch of Authentic sinisteas and wondertade them out.. make some people happy maybe

[wispy kernel]

fyi there are trade codes for trading for Exclusives and I think starters too

[vernal sedge]

You want those

[warped abyss]

I'm surprise trading and getting alot of foreign pokemon for masuda breeding

im not getting any trade partners for Great tusk and iron treads, I did for Quaxly to sprigatito

[winter folio]

fr

I haven't even finished it and I agree

[warped abyss]

alright a friend helped me finish it, I have 400 caught and battled now

[lilac tree]

So, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but the DLC patch also changed which pokemon have outbreaks??

Before it was only the same 5 species changing locations each day

Anyways, if someone wants one I got lucky and got a second shiny Fidough. Free to a good home

[vernal sedge]

I'll swap you a shiny Golduck for it?

I find too many of them LMAO

[lilac tree]

Sure!

[vernal sedge]

Lemme just grab my switch

[craggy urchin]

Is this like legit

[vernal sedge]

Yeah, that's the codes that's generally used in the community for cross-game trades

There's some for the DLC too if you want them?

[craggy urchin]

i dont have the dlc im poor

If anyone can trade me a pokemon holding the Malicious armor i can give you the auspicious armor

[raven robin]

Anyone willing to help me evolve my Graveler?

I would just transfer it to legends arceus and use a link cable but I can't because it's an alolan graveler

[vernal sedge]

I could help you out, gimme five

Actually nvm I'm good now, hook me up with a link code when you're good to trade

[raven robin]

Aight...24587236

[vernal sedge]

Aight I'm searching, ign is Raum

[raven robin]

👍

[vernal sedge]

Just going through the evo animation

[raven robin]

Tysm my dude!

[vernal sedge]

No worries, always around to help whoever

If you happen to end up breeding that though could you toss me an egg?

[craggy urchin]

could you help me evolve my scyther?

[vernal sedge]

Ofc ofc

Just drop me a code and I'll be happy to help

[craggy urchin]

im gonna sound dumb its metal coar i need right

[vernal sedge]

Yeah it's metal coat

[craggy urchin]

06072006 is the link code lmk when you are ready

[vernal sedge]

Good to go, searching now

[craggy urchin]

oh shit my switch went into offline mode wait-

i accidentally vclosed the game earlier to do something-

[vernal sedge]

The amount of times I've done that is unreal I feel you

[craggy urchin]

lmk when we trade back

[vernal sedge]

Scizor is waiting on you

[craggy urchin]

tysm

i despise trade evolution

[vernal sedge]

Yeah they're a pain

It's why I lurk in here now in case people need a hand with them lmao

If you need help with any other evos or whatever feel free to hmu

[craggy urchin]

tyyy

[quartz locust]

Tatsugiri or Annihilape are definitely my favorite pokemon of gen 9

[obtuse oracle]

from lil girl to big girl

[wispy kernel]

I like that you can tell based on the environment that you didnt have a Water Stone so you needed to go to Mesagoza to buy one

[obtuse oracle]

oh yeah lol

it was kinda unplanned too

had the shiny charm, but didn't make any sandwich

[craggy urchin]

how do you get herba mystica

[odd cave]

6 star tera raids

[wispy kernel]

and 5 star

[lilac tree]

Finding an ice stone for my shiny cetoddle was annoying because no shop sells them

[craggy urchin]

How do you unlock them

[odd cave]

I think you had to beat the game and rematch all the gym leaders

[craggy urchin]

Oh is that it

Then I guess I did it

[odd cave]

You also have to beat the academy tourney

If so, you can find some black crystals in the wild which indicate 6 star raids

[forest egret]

[fallen stratus]

Unpleasant gradient for an unpleasant pokemon

[odd cave]

They knew what they were doing

[lilac tree]

I love a lot of the S&V designs but this ain't it cheif

Orthworm more than makes up for any bad ones

[fallen stratus]

Honestly I think okidogi is the best of the trio in terms of looks

I like the funny buff doge

Munkidori on the other hand ,,,,

[lilac tree]

I actually like him because he looks so fucking lame

Like, it's endearing in a weird way

Then again I like Dudunsparce when so many people same to hate it.

[fallen stratus]

Its a shame he's shaped the way he is cuz if I just post a sihlouette of him I might get muted

Also a lot of people like dudunsparce wdym

[lilac tree]

There was just a lot of negativity around it when it was revealed. I think mostly from people that don't understand Dunsparce is already perfect so the only logical evolution is more Dunsparce

[fallen stratus]

It was more mixed than mostly negative

Cuz there were also tons of people who just thought it was funny as hell and that it was the biggest troll ever

And that's what made it likeable

[normal oyster]

Had a lot of fun with the dlc, looking forward to the indigo disk!

[vernal sedge]

Late but there is also a bundle of free herba you can get if you have the DLC

If you collect all the tablecloths and speak to ine of the campers just down the steps from Kitakami hall he'll give you I think it was two of each herba

[lilac tree]

Found a shiny Hoppip while EV training special defense, and shiny Jumpluff rules

Pink shines are my favorite category

[vernal sedge]

Ayyy nice

Shiny jumpluff is a top tier shiny

[craggy urchin]

Fr

Drifloon is the only one I have I just found it mid play through full odds just running through to get to a gym

[vernal sedge]

Is there any certain shinies you'd like to get in this game out of curiosity?

[craggy urchin]

This is gonna sound a bit odd but honestly

Applin

[vernal sedge]

Not odd, Applin is awesome

[craggy urchin]

Unironically One of my favorite shinies

[vernal sedge]

I have a shiny Dipplin and I love it

[craggy urchin]

Niceeee

[vernal sedge]

I think I might have a spare shiny Applin actually

[craggy urchin]

:0

[vernal sedge]

Can't check cause I'm in work rn but

👀 ?

[craggy urchin]

Ah well I’m at school so

But lmk

Bc that would be awesome

[vernal sedge]

Will do!

[vernal sedge]

You still there or nah

[craggy urchin]

Yes a few more hours

[vernal sedge]

No worries, I do have a spare one

[craggy urchin]

You texted me like the moment I got on the bus

[craggy urchin]

AWESOME TYSM

[vernal sedge]

I'm terrible with timezones I always forget the timings for across the pond lol

[craggy urchin]

Kinda related favorite original applin evolution

[vernal sedge]

It's a female one which I've nicknamed Brew for the minute because. I don't remember LMAO

[craggy urchin]

Ah yeah time zones I have a friend in Poland and yet I’m still so bad at them

[vernal sedge]

Probably Flapple honestly

Weird little guy

[craggy urchin]

Correct answer

Love that little goober

I will text you when I am able to be at my switch I don’t know if I’ll be busy when I get home but I’ll let you know

[vernal sedge]

No worries, my internet's gonna be down for a bit soon anyway so wouldn't be able to trade it even if I wanted

[craggy urchin]

Ah

[vernal sedge]

Oh it's not too long just like an hour or so roughly

Should be back up in time to trade later

[craggy urchin]

I’ve got school for a couple hours and then I take the bus again idk if I’m gonna be busy I might have to drive bc my parents want me to practice for my drivers test soon

[graceful trellis]

just finished the most recent DLC and i gotta say im kinda disappointed. i really do like the new pkmn they added and i like the story somewhat better than the main game, but theres just so many negatives. 1) the world feels REALLY empty... apart from pkmn and standard environment assets theres really nothing going on there. the layout even somewhat resembles the original paldea map which just adds to the frustration: it doesnt feel like youre in a new place. 2) the story NPCs are really poorly made and the story is way too short. 3) Even though were on a new map that is only about 20% the size of the original map, the lags are even worse now... and if you start forwarding days for certain outbreaks it gets worse and worse

[quartz locust]

Appletun

He's a little goober

[craggy urchin]

Valid

[craggy urchin]

I just got back when you’re ready

Do you want anything in return I don’t really have much but

[vernal sedge]

I'm good to go if you drop a code

Just send me whatever honestly

Maybe a murkrow or something LOL

[craggy urchin]

I don’t have one sorry lol

[craggy urchin]

14587133

[vernal sedge]

Searching!

[craggy urchin]

Tysm

[vernal sedge]

No worries

It's even in a friend ball to match

[craggy urchin]

Oh sweet!

[vernal sedge]

Glad I could help supply you with a shiny you love

(I don't think I'm ever using that emote in the right context but hey, murkrow LOL)

[craggy urchin]

Valid

[wispy kernel]

next 7 star raid announced

its Hisuian Decidueye

Tera Grass

[odd cave]

Real?

[lilac tree]

Yooo shiny Vikavolt is amazing

I have an extra shiny Charjabug, I'm mostly looking for shiny bug types if anyone wants trades

Sorry, Grubbin, not Charjabug but it will be a Charjabug in 1 level

[wispy kernel]

I will not share who this is from I dont like him

[vernal sedge]

Would you swap for a shiny Spinarak? (Fellow bug type enjoyer )

[lilac tree]

let's do it! Just give me a few minutes

[vernal sedge]

No rush!

[lilac tree]

Ready now. Code will be 5424 5424 like last time

[vernal sedge]

Alright searching in just a sec! Just putting the code in

Put the last digit in wrong whoops, there we go

Pleasure doing business with you

[lilac tree]

Thanks!

I really wish Ariados had like, a single redeeming quality

At least it looks cool.

[vernal sedge]

Yeah, it's a shame

It's just slowly been lost over time in terms of impact/relevance

[lilac tree]

It was pretty dire even back in G/S. I thiiiink it has like, one tiny niche in Gen 2 UU. Because sticky web shenanigans. It's not great when Smeargle does the only thing you do but better.

I dream of like, an Eviolite but for all the garbage bug-types no-one remembers.

[craggy urchin]

i just realized i saw a shiny spidops and didnt catch it bc for some reason i thought it was a different variant of a normal pokemon this was like a week ago

i feel so foolish-

[lilac tree]

I don't really care for Spidops that much but Lokix is amazing. Kamen Rider reference shiny

[craggy urchin]

fair i dont either but still a shiny

[karmic escarp]

There is a non zero chance that I saw a shiny tatsugiri in the lake and though that it was just another form when I first played the game

[craggy urchin]

damn

such a cool pokemon too

[vernal sedge]

Could be worse, at least you didn't see a shiny trevenant and then despair as it walked out of range and despawned itself in front of you

The way I had to walk away from my switch after that one

[quartz locust]

Damnnnn that sucks

Tatsugiri is awesome

And he's pretty good as well

Without dondozo

With dondozo he's a menace

I got my own shiny tatsugiri yesterday ( the white one) and EV trained him

[craggy urchin]

oh my god i would explode

[vernal sedge]

The only reason I didn't completely lose it is because it popped up when I was outbreak hunting Phantump

[lilac tree]

I'm glad the dlc patch changed outbreaks. I was getting tired of Nothing but Noibats

Noibat has a sick shiny but every single day it was noibat

[craggy urchin]

im in the start of a nuzlocke and i really forgot just HOW MUCH TEXT THERE IS IN THE BEGINNING UGHHHHHHH

[tired drum]

NOOOO

[odd cave]

Same but with glimmets

[lilac tree]

Woo! Toedscool outbreak! Been waiting for this one. He funny walk guy

[quartz locust]

Slither wing is cracked goddamn

I'm playing link battles and he's carrying hard

[lilac tree]

Iron Moth isn't terrible either but it doesn't go on as many teams as Slither Wing

All moths are valid except dustox

[hollow lagoon]

Just got my first ever shiny (I’ve played since the release of B&W and just have terrible luck) full odds swokvet randomly at 6am

[obtuse oracle]

congrats!

[hollow lagoon]

😁 thanks!

[craggy urchin]

That’s awesome I remember I also got my first shiny ever and I’ve been playing Pokémon since X and Y

I lost a Pokémon in my nuzlocke- bc I tried to catch a capsakid and he killed my mareep-

In one hit- I was like oh he can paralyze him and then yank the hit bc I thought he had enough health to tank and then he just died

[vernal sedge]

That poor mareep

[craggy urchin]

Named Shaun I’ll miss him greatly I also lost a lechonk to a random ass trainer his name was Frankfurt

[storm bone]

Finally completed the pokedex hooray

[craggy urchin]

nice

[storm bone]

first time I get the shiny charm

[craggy urchin]

Nice!

I’m having a hard time with the exclusives :/

[storm bone]

good luck

[craggy urchin]

My friend has a copy he said I could borrow it bc he isn’t far enough in the game to get any of the exclusives anyway

[vernal sedge]

Which ones are you missing?

[craggy urchin]

Like all but the galade one

[vernal sedge]

Oh the violet paradoxes

[craggy urchin]

I got that from a surprise trade

And the standard ones too

Like gulpin and others

I can’t remember the exact list

[vernal sedge]

Not far enough into my violet copy to help with the paradox mons but could help with the standards

[craggy urchin]

Maybe when I get home yeah I just got done a field trip for fine art I’m pretty tired

[vernal sedge]

Yeah I'm eating rn anyway made homemade lamb kebab so we can work a time out eventually

Gives me time to push through in that copy too

[dusky drum]

I’m gonna do it, seriouslt people in raids stun me

Yes being the IRON THORNS to a WATER CLAWITZER RAID

[craggy urchin]

I always get 50/50 with raids

Sometimes it’s like pretty easy

Other times it’s electric Teratype garchomp

[dusky drum]

6 star raids are actually impossible

Like actually

Because of how dogshit the games online system is

And then when I finally beat one, I get like no Herba Mystica which is fun

I’m practically out of HM

[odd cave]

I remember that one very smart guy at the greninja tera raid who decided to bring a charizard

[odd cave]

Just get an annihilape

It’s goated in tera raids

[vernal sedge]

Or if you can get a good coordinated team an Iron Hands or Huge Power Azumarill

I don't know if it's still a strat people use but Galarian Meowth used to be huge on coordinated raids since people would stack the ability

[dusky drum]

I also just can’t get into the raids of Pokémon that have better odds of getting herba mystica on the board

Or just can’t join raids ever and get that BS “Couldnt join”

“Why not?”

“Couldnt”

[craggy urchin]

Way ahead of you such a cool Pokémon

And the new bisharp evolution I can’t remember his name it’s on the top of my tongue

[quartz locust]

Kingambit

[craggy urchin]

Ty

[quartz locust]

Most of the paradoxes also work well for raids

[dusky drum]

I’m stuck with the infinite “communicating” thing

I don’t wanna have to reset cause I literally just won a raid and got herba mystica but it looks like that’s what I gotta do

Love this game

[craggy urchin]

omg my nuzlocke

i just noticed

besides my starter

all my pokemon are weak to bug type-

[dusky drum]

Why is Farigiraf tanky

Why

[odd cave]

Because it has a helmet

[dusky drum]

Me watching the raid Pokémon not miss a single thunder

[lilac tree]

Getting a shiny Toedscool trained up for Light Screen/Mud Slap support in raids. Kind of want to just not evolve him and give Eviolite since he's gonna do 0 damage anyway

I have won so, so many more raids by actually bringing support pokemon

It's probably a little better to evolve but... Toedscool has funny walk animation

[quartz locust]

It isn't really

[dusky drum]

It certainly wasn’t taking a lot of physical damage

[lilac tree]

Its got a high HP stat but its defenses are meh

[quartz locust]

It's defenses are actually pretty bad

But 120 HP is really good

[dusky drum]

Me waiting for my teammates to tera against the Snorlax but they just don’t

[lilac tree]

I feel like that sometimes. I almost always just bring support to raids but sometimes I'm just sitting there, clicking Chilling Water on my Vaporeon, hoping that my allies will do something

[dusky drum]

I was tryna be a support for once with Tinkaton, steadily lowering its attack

And if I Tera’d I’d instantly get drilled by a heavy slam

[lilac tree]

I like when people bring Iron Hands and use Belly Drum directly into an Earthquake

[steep breach]

Can anyone trade me a Dragalge and Armarouge? 🙂

[dusky drum]

When your entire raid party is asleep but nobody uses their Fuckinf cheers and you use all of yours

I swear the dumbest/most selfish mother fuckers have access to this game

[lilac tree]

How about slamming the box legendary with it's non super-effective attack only and using no cheers

[dusky drum]

Usinf Koraidon and only using Flamethrower

I mean people treats cheers as like poison

Even against Pokémon that love to spam moves that cause the stupidest status infliction (Sleep(

Who needs to spend 1 turn removing the sleep and healing everyone up when you can instead spend 3-5 turns mashing a single move only to get nothing

[lilac tree]

I always defense cheer as my first move every raid

And offense cheer when I'm reasonably sure no-one is going to faint

If they manage to die after screen+defense cheer then like, that's their fault

[dusky drum]

Sometimes I just have mental lapses in stats and move sets

Like I was wondering why this Sinistcha was demolishing my Iron Hands because I didn’t think their SP DEF was that bad

(It was)

[odd cave]

Why would you use iron hands against sinistcha when both of its types are uneffective against it?

[lilac tree]

I'll be honest I think the best raid allies are the ones that pick weird pokes. You're like, why would you ever use this but then it turns out there's some combination of moves on that pokemon that make it perfect for that raid specifically

[odd cave]

I’ve seen someone using skill swap polteageist with weak armor

Carried the whole raid

[lilac tree]

Was it a shiny Polteageist? Could have been me lol

[craggy urchin]

hey random does anyone know how rare the leaders crest is on bisharp

[dusky drum]

Wow I froze the game by

checks notes

Using Swords Dance

Kitakami everyone!

[lilac tree]

Miraidon using hyper beam in a raid

I can't actually be upset at a 9 year old.

[craggy urchin]

currently shiny hunting bisharp bc its one of my favorite pokemon especially now bc kingambit

[lilac tree]

I'm breeding for a shiny Torkoal because turt

[odd cave]

I don’t know, i evolved mine by fighting those bisharps that come with packs of pawniards

[craggy urchin]

ive taken a break to play Pokken

i wish it had a bigger player base such a good game i hope nintendo gives it a sequel unlikely tho

[wise carbon]

Wanna FaceTime link

[lilac tree]

I try to help in random raids but I feel like 90% of people don't pay attention to the pokemon under the tera type

Tera bug poliwrath. Seems pretty obvious to bring a flying type, right?

Nope. Only fire

It's gonna make it rain, and we're gonna lose. And then it made it rain, and we lost

[honest notch]

My team is literally just me looking at the strongest Pokemon that spawn naturally

And catching them

And using them

And that's it

Mudsdale go brr

[lilac tree]

As long as you don't use recoil moves in raids I don't have a problem with ye

[honest notch]

I don't

[lilac tree]

Two ability patches in two raids

Not bad

[dusky drum]

Shiny Applin hunting yaaaay-

[quartz locust]

Fr lol

[lilac tree]

I have a Kilowattrel with Thunder and Hurricane for when the base pokemon is a water type

Zapdos would be better obv but I don't have access to any mons from before S&V

[dusky drum]

2 hours and nothing

[lilac tree]

Brutal. I almost always find one per shiny sandwich, sometimes two sandwiches

[dusky drum]

I’m doing that AFK method so maybe that has something to do with it

Or this game hates me

I think it’s the latter

[dusky drum]

Oh Sinistcha raids are ass actually

You mean to tell me it got the 20% burn on ALL OF US?

[shrewd jetty]

Hehehe

[fickle birch]

Use a Special Attacker. 😛

[dusky drum]

That doesn’t change the fact I got RNG cucked

[steady comet]

At least you weren't paralyzed twice, flinched, paralyzed, double flinch, die to a Crit

There is a reason I say I have bad luck and I'm 80% sure it's because of that

[steady reef]

hi

can someone help me

[dusky drum]

I’ve had that happen in the battle tree

way back in gen 7 when I decent at double battles I was in the battle tree tryna get mega stoned

And there was a Snorlax and some other Pokémon on the enemy team

The Snorlax used earthquake, got a crit on both of my Pokémon and killed the run, while doing minimal damage to the partner

[lilac tree]

I have vaporeon with chilling water to handle physical attackers, a 350 special defense Toedscruel with light screen and mud slap for special. And a Polteageis with skill swap and weak armor for pokes with annoying abilities

Raids always go better with 1 person playing support

[gaunt tangle]

Anyone up for helping me get Palafin by giving me a union circle code to join?

[vernal sedge]

Resident SV assistant reporting for duty, I'll set one up now

[gaunt tangle]

Damn, I missed it, sorry I got a phonecall.

[vernal sedge]

No worries I'm still around just outbreak hunting Skwovet

[gaunt tangle]

I can't seem to find anybody using that link code

[vernal sedge]

it's cause I left that circle

If you set one up I'll join

[lilac tree]

I like how the story is just every single character shitting on Kieran for no fucking reason and then his sister makes him apologize

[untold drum]

carmine was horrible and its her fault kieran was so selfish about ogrepon tbh

[craggy urchin]

this weekend my friend is letting me borrow his switch with violet on it i just have to link an account and i can finally complete the dex

[viscid adder]

holy crap

no one told me this channel has returned

it's been so long...

[craggy urchin]

Ah well welcome back!

[lilac tree]

Full odds shiny Duskull while wandering around doing tera raids

I need to actually complete Kitakami pokedex

[lilac tree]

On my current list is "how to make sudowoodo function in raids without throwing"

Last thing I need to finish my pokedex

Nevermind, I managed to find one through link codes

[lilac tree]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F7NYsGDaMAMlSgg?format=jpg&name=large

Found these guys on the same shiny hunt. Named them Kitsuragi and Dubois

Hobbies include standing motionless for hours while facing true north

[odd cave]

I mean probopass is a compass so it makes sense

[vernal sedge]

Top tier nicknames for them, I can see the resemblance

[dusk isle]

So how does Ogre Ousting scoring system work? I thought the amount of balloons you pop increase your score but after I thought of it I ended up with a score lower than my first attempt

[lilac tree]

It's how fast you get the beans back

[dusk isle]

okay also what does Carmine says when you beat her score during the festival? I wasn't lucky to beat that

[craggy urchin]

do water/fire tauros take a dex slot?

sorry currently 100%ing and i dont actually know

[dusk isle]

water/fire tauros is like an alt form of paldean tauros kinda like cherrim's sunny and covered form

[craggy urchin]

ty

[tawdry flame]

Has anyone done the clefairy outbreaks and got a shiny? Just curious

[fast zinc]

man i wish aggron was in the game, the metal texture would look so good

everyone who thought lucario's spikes were bone must be reeling after they saw it in this game

[dusk isle]

I was shiny hunting Poltchageist cause there was an outbreak, got this goober instead

[dusky drum]

Hopefully gen 10 keeps the textures

And if it’s still on the switch that we will hopefully have all 1000+ Pokémon catchable (aside from mythicals) on the switch

[lilac tree]

Accidentally clicked my master ball on a raid mienshao when I meant to go for premier

Welp

At least it's a pokemon I really like lol

Let's me honest that master ball was going to sit around and never be used even when the next games come out

[quartz locust]

You can just get more anyways

[fast zinc]

Oh gosh don't make me feel old by implying the switch is gonna age out

[surreal belfry]

just a random question anyone who has kingambit is it better or worse about how it is in let's go mode, to me not seeing it walk doesnt make me happy but how it moves is so hilarious

[lilac tree]

It's one of the funnier walk animations. It was clearly designed to sit down.

True agony is Slowpoke in lets go mode

[viscid adder]

it's like his hair is carrying him because he's too busy being regal to move

[lilac tree]

Managed to actually win a raid with one person just using Charizard against a dark-type tera, using no moves except for fire spin

Great. Someone bringing Charizard against a water tera annihilape

At least this one will be over fast

I think six star annihilape is actually impossible to beat with just randoms. You need to have something resembling coordination for monke.

Because if there's just one person triggering Defiant each turn it's ogre

[viscid adder]

tera raid (aka, pass the braincell!)

[lilac tree]

Three dragon types against Mimikyu

Miraidon spamming power gem

I don't understand

[dusky drum]

What tera type

[lilac tree]

Flying

[dusky drum]

It was all Miraidons weren’t it

Going for that Electro Drift

[lilac tree]

No, Goodra, Dragonite, and one Miraidon

The Miraidon was only using Power Gem

I cannot explain why

[dusky drum]

Bruh

I rest my case.

Cool video I made yesterday

[quiet brook]

I need help

How do I make the most annoying pokemon team ever

[viscid adder]

first of all, define annoying

[quiet brook]

not necessarily good just like you will hate fighting the team, Choice scarf with trick or population bomb and kings rock

[viscid adder]

oh, competative stuff!

well, there's this one combo that I think is really good

[quiet brook]

yeah

its singles

[viscid adder]

quaquaval + oricoro

...oh wait

umm

shit

[quiet brook]

I do have a doubles team that is fun, it has contrary super power lurantis and flamigo

[viscid adder]

another favorite is any dude with explosion plus a ghost type

[quiet brook]

Ill keep that in mind

[viscid adder]

it's the ultimate FU strat

...actually, having a pokemon that explodes in your team seems like a pretty annoying tactic

for your enemy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJvfnB_9tJ8

[quiet brook]

explosion is viable in gen 1 i think

that is quite humorous

[boreal turtle]

also gen 4 with heatran magma storm explosion

could take down chansey

[quartz locust]

Listen

Use population bomb

With kings rock

[quiet brook]

Thats what im doing

[quartz locust]

It’s so cancerous

I hate it

[quiet brook]

Yes that is the point

[quartz locust]

Umm

Scream tail

With encore protect and thunder wave

[viscid adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGJ8NsVz8-0

here we go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZMOBU1LQNE

almost forgot about hazards teams

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-bVP8RETu8

[odd cave]

Something with spore/sleep powder, substitute, leech seed and protect

[quiet brook]

Delightfully devilish

[quartz locust]

Double amoonguss

Amoonguss and brute bonnet

[viscid adder]

I just learned of a terrible combo.
lv 1 cottonee
with a focus stash

leech seed

and substitute

and protecc

[quiet brook]

I cant thats not in this gen

[viscid adder]

oh s--t that's right

...

well it doesn't have to be cottonee

[quiet brook]

I already tried aaron FEAR strat

to no avail

[viscid adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnBecKt0LwE

ok I'm actually enjoying these

these are some really tightly knitted strats

[quiet brook]

I have done something similar

A litwick to lurantis strat

It was focus sash litwick that has curse and trick room

I would use trick room then curse to kill myself and get a free switch to lurantis who has contrary

[viscid adder]

what this gen does have is magnemite

and sturdy, fruit juice, toxic, recycle magnemite is terribly good

[quiet brook]

fruit juice?

berry juice isnt in the gen

[viscid adder]

then any healing item will do

as long as the dude is lv 1

like lemonade

[quiet brook]

Not really, it works in percentages

[viscid adder]

hmm

ok

[viscid adder]

well when I saw it in pokemon showdown, it healed the pokemon fully

because he was lv 1

[quiet brook]

also lemonade and other manual use healing items arent on the item list

[viscid adder]

for competative?

[quiet brook]

yeah

[viscid adder]

ahhh

well played

[dusky drum]

Aquatic shint hunts are painful

Doing Finizen rn

Nvm the outbreak changed

[quiet brook]

The annoying team won somehow?

[viscid adder]

what's the strat?

also...

[quiet brook]

I just stalled anihalape then switched into ditto who sweeped

ditto copied stat changes

and the anihilape used bulk up 3 times

[viscid adder]

noice

[viscid adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YktAh3iJZc
having the rest of your team stat boost for your lechonk?
now that's strat. and freakin' evil.

[quiet brook]

This one is quite easy to counter, use curse or clear smog

[lilac tree]

Espathra is actually kind of great for raids. (against special attackers) Lumina Crash, decent defenses, calm mind, speed boost, stored power

[vestal granite]

I AM IN SHAMBLES

GARCHOMP AND HEATRAN AND SOON LANDORUS?????

[jaunty bloom]

Some one wanna trade shiny roaring moon for my shiny iron valiant?

[brittle birch]

Hey

Can someone give me a ogerpan in Pokémon home trade

[vestal granite]

Nah this is so sad

After 17 years they're down to uu

[odd cave]

I’m shitting and crying rn 😭

WHY TF IS RIBOMBEE OU??

[vestal granite]

I LOVE HER BUT OU???

[quartz locust]

Sticky webs

Ribombee is fast with a decent typing with alright sp. Atk

Though it's definitely not OU

Maybe like UU

[vestal granite]

The tiers disagree it seems

OU and above greninja and ladorus t

In usage

[quartz locust]

Sticky webs does go crazy

If it lost sticky webs it’d go down to RU probably

[wispy kernel]

Landorus Therian is at #35 and was 0.2% away from going to UU, meanwhile Ribombee is #25 and has more usage than Garchomp Landorus-T and Tyranitar combined

[fallen stratus]

garchomp after falling off into UU

https://vxtwitter.com/655321_King/status/1708637032413565438?s=20

[odd cave]

Now i want to play ou with only uu mons

[exotic berry]

With this Gen’s ru resembling this gen’s ou

And with this gen’s uu resembling this gen’s ou

[dusky drum]

Is everything jsut OU?

[quiet brook]

Funny team i made

[tired torrent]

So a team of

heatran, tornadus-T, garchomp, garganacl, rotom-wash, and Meowscarada

Sounds viable enough tbh

[uncut dirge]

Hey, maybe someone could help me out. I am looking for some of the scarlet exclussive Pokemon wich would be:
Skrelp, Stunky, Oranguru, Stonjourner and if it would be possible one version of Koraidon for a friend of mine. This were the exclusives i don't own and won't be able to trade to him.

[quartz locust]

I guess it’s because more pokemon fit Landos and Garchomps niche

Also that landorus has been nerfed quite a bit

The power creep in this generation is crazy

[odd cave]

It would be funny if garchomp became uubl

[quartz locust]

It probably will

The amount of pokemon added this generation with over 550 bst is crazy

I wonder what would happen if Ferro thorn came back

Would it fall to UU?

[vernal sedge]

A shiny authentic polchaigaist just despawned in front of me

I was aaving in front of it and it just. left

[rugged grove]

the easter eggs they left in these games are so nostalgic! what a cool throwback!

[shrewd jetty]

You're right, the red circle is a classic from OG Kanto

🙏

[odd cave]

If you look at the right of the image, you can clearly see some lamps

[rugged grove]

actually if you look close enough you may even see that carmine is there too

[craggy urchin]

Shit bro when’s the event

[harsh oasis]

Yesterday

[lilac tree]

Got a shiny Applin, now I have to choose which to evolve it into

I love all of 'em so much

[odd cave]

Iron sloth

[fickle birch]

Dipplin has the best Shiny, even if Appletun is my favourite of the three. 🙂

[vernal sedge]

The fact it's Syrup Bomb attack changes colour as well when it's shiny is chefs kiss

[fickle birch]

It does!? 😮

[misty drift]

Driplin

[vernal sedge]

Yeah, base Dripplin has red syrup in the attack while shiny has a gold syrup to match

[analog moss]

As someone who loves Garchomp, I can confirm that the tier shifts gave me depression

[lilac tree]

I found a second so now I have Appletun (my favorite) and Dripplin

I might spend some time this evening completeing the family because I don't want Flapple to feel left out

Also defensive Appletun with Apple Acid is really good in raids, combined with recycle+ripen sitrus berry

[trim dragon]

Could somebody help me out with a trade evolution for slowpoke?

[viscid adder]

AGREED.
I love the golden apple vibes

[fickle birch]

@viscid adder You're meant to put spoilers on potential leaks. 😛

[viscid adder]

sorry

covid brain

not thinking straight

It's all good, I deleted it. 😉

I'm also really unwell (hopefully not Covid), so I hope you're feeling better soon because it's not fun. 😢

[lilac tree]

Shiny Dusclops is so cool but shiny Dusknoir is lame

I don't want to evolve it...

Shell bell dusknoir is actually kinda good in raids tho

Fat defenses means its small HP isn't a big deal *with the damage% recovery from shell bell

[quartz locust]

Dusclops is better

[viscid adder]

that's what evolites are for

...also

WHAT'S WITH THESE HOMIES DISSING MY GIRL

I love the blue. creates a nice contrast with the gold

[quartz locust]

Dusknoir stinky

He's not goated unlike dusclops

[viscid adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GysSam7Y4ps

[fallen stratus]

I'll kill yo

[quartz locust]

Nerd

Dusknoir is so bad that's why I dislike him

[fallen stratus]

Man hasn't seen his Mystery Dungeon arc

[quartz locust]

Not in Mystery dungeon

I mean in mainline games

He's bad

[fallen stratus]

If you're only seeing this from a competitive standpoint that's not a very good outlook chief

Also "Icepunch Dusknoir" is funny and gives him competitive presence

[quartz locust]

He's not good

He's slow, has 45 HP and terrible learnset

[quartz locust]

?

[viscid adder]

i mean, that's what you two are doing

you two are duking it out over a dusknoir

[quartz locust]

Well I'm right

[viscid adder]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-fight-briga-treta-gif-7290378

can't wait to see egg's response to your comment

[quartz locust]

Ok

[fallen stratus]

Who cares about viability

He's cooler looking

😎

[quartz locust]

Cooler looking than what?

[fallen stratus]

Dusclops obviously

[quartz locust]

Oh

Yeah he is

[viscid adder]

A funny thing while watching this video is Annihilape's reaction to getting clean.
Unlike Primape's reaction, which are just MMMMRG STILL ANGY, Annihilape looks... content.

Perhaps, from death, Annihilape has found a way to control its anger, saving it for battle

[lilac tree]

Yes but red is a really cool color. I do think Duskull is the best looking shiny out of the whole line though, red robes look cool on him.

Imagine if to power up you just have to fucking die

Brick as the stone to evolve Eevee into ghost type

[forest summit]

you know what bugs me? The fact that cat Pokémon can't learn lunge or pounce. I mean they sound like cat-like moves!

[karmic escarp]

wow, INCREDIBLE!

[fresh jolt]

H-h-h-how??

[fresh jolt]

Well consider me flabbergasted

[viscid adder]

So, to put it in the context of ScaVio, the infernape is boosted so much that the game can't calculate it

[fresh jolt]

Geez!

[viscid adder]

i know

[quartz locust]

At least it can't happen normally I Guess

[barren lion]

I gotchu

[viscid adder]

POISON TYPES ALL IN

[forest summit]

Theory: If a move is so strong it can kill a Pokémon, the attack is negated because killing in a Pokémon battle is illegal

[fickle birch]

I literally watched this video last night. 😂

[warm carbon]

My college is having a fundraiser video game tournament that include scarlet violet. I need to follow the official vgc rules but I’ve never played competitive. I looked it up but all I’m seeing is the double battle, no duplicates, and how it sets teams to lvl 50. Is there anything else like banned Pokémon?

[quartz locust]

Mythicals are banned

I play doubles often

[warm carbon]

Is it just mythicals that are banned?

[quartz locust]

Only mythicals

[warm carbon]

Ok thank you for the help

[quartz locust]

Also no duplicate pokemon or items

[viscid adder]

Other good strats for your mons during the fall owl fight:
Bring some Sap Sippers

....which means yes

Azumarill belly drum is still a valid strat.

[fickle birch]

When is the Decidueye raid, this weekend? 😮

[viscid adder]

yeah.

you better get on that.

Okay, Danny Sexbang. Thank you for your wisdom. 🙂

[worn cobalt]

I'm not able to do it this weekend (on vacation without my switch), but I think I'll try Corviknight Solo raid with Body Press and Brave Bird.

Unless another good strategy mon proves to be better/easier to solo with.

[viscid adder]

here's a tip! DON'T BRING THE GHOST ARMOR BOIS OR THE FLAME CROC

The fall owl has shadow claw, which will delete any possibility of you getting a win

...I also recommend taking this bird to the gym

[lilac tree]

For some reason I thought gogoat was normal type,

It looks so.... normal

Well, it has scrappy anyways.

Nope, none of my shinies are any good for this fight unless I want to ability patch azumarill

[viscid adder]

PEOPLE

STOP BRINGING SKELEDIRGE

YOU WILL LOSE

YOU WILL NOT WIN

THERE IS ONLY FAILURE

I HAVE TO SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS BECAUSE

NO ONE IS LISTENING

[odd cave]

True, bring crocalor instead

[viscid adder]

Don't bring your ogre there either

Sure that thing's powerful, but I don't think waiting for four attacks before unleashing awesome is a good strat to have

you're just gonna make everyone else in the party boned

which

is not good

its bad

see a flame sword bro or a croc or an ogre or a chandelier?

BAIL.

The fight is lost before it has begun

because you just gave the enemy a nice weakspot that it can exploit

[humble moth]

How about the pumped up grasshopper from the mew war

1 it’s good on his grass 2 it can heal itself with his main attack 3 the only weakness i see for now can be dealt with on tera

Also, what were the types of the unova disk (ik it’s indigo but i want to mention the best gen ever at every opportunity i have) elite four?

[forest summit]

Ice Spinner is the best move added to SV

finally a physical Ice move that doesn't do recoil or isn't legendary exclusive

[viscid adder]

brave bird's gonna destroy you broh

[humble moth]

Oh

[viscid adder]

also triple arrow

fighting type move

[humble moth]

WAIt NVM

I was stupid and real flying

Read

[viscid adder]

bringing a fighting type or a ghost type or a dark type is what I like to call "raid suicide"

also, don't bring any mews

[humble moth]

Killowattrel

[viscid adder]

shadow claw destroys lives.

[viscid adder]

that could work!

talonflame is also a viable option too

[humble moth]

Or squakabily

Idk his name

[viscid adder]

ok maybe don't bring a normal type

[humble moth]

But only if he gets something other than HUSTLE

[viscid adder]

I saw one guy bring a blissey to the raid and he got

[humble moth]

Wooped?

[humble moth]

Lel

Hmmmm…. How about scizor?

He is not weak to decidueyes moves

He has good matchup

He knows good moves

He is a chad

[viscid adder]

you're in the clear.

[forest summit]

I like Durant more than Scizor

[dusky drum]

Well Durant don’t have technician

[quartz locust]

It's crazy how technician makes Scizor good

Like without technician it wouldn't be that good

[forest summit]

it's crazy how Heatmor got its sig move in Gen 7

and it wasn't even available without Home transfer either

There's 513 excluding past Home transfer mon before the first DLC came out

so it's 113/230 already in the game outside of Paldea

of the 116 left these have been confirmed in trailers:
Gen 1 starters (Minus Charmander, since it was already in)
Gen 2 starters (Minus Cyndaquil, since it was already in)
Gen 3 starters
Gen 5 starters (Minus Oshawott, since it was already in)
Gen 7 starters (Minus Rowlet, since it was already in)
Oddish line
Doduo line
Seel line
Exeggcute line
Rhyhorn line
Magmar line
Lapras
Skarmory
Trapinch line
Beldum line
Gen 4 fossils
Blitzle line
Cottonee line
Minccino line
Solosis line
Golett line
Espurr line
Inkay line
Pikipek line
Milcery line
Duraldon line
Dipplin evo (Confirmed, since Dipplin can use Eviolite)
Raging Bolt
Entei Paradox (Pretty much already confirmed)
Iron Crown
Terrakion Paradox (Pretty much already confirmed)
Terapagos

All of these total 88

in total we have 28 left, which will likely include the majority of the rest of the legendaries and mythicals + a few others that have been leaked

[ember burrow]

Why isn't Gen 4, 6 and 8 starters mentioned in your list? They literally showed all the past starters are confirmed to be coming in a trailer?

[lilac tree]

Pimplup already in

[forest summit]

I'm talking about mon coming in the second DLC, since Gen 4 and 8 starters are in the game already

[ember burrow]

Huh...I must have missed some event raids cause I don't remember seeing the gen 4 mons.

but fair enough.

[forest summit]

you get them in the first DLC

[ember burrow]

Ohhhh, yeah I'm waiting till both halves are out cause I made the mistake of doing Isle of Armor and got bored before Crown Tundra came out so I haven't touched that.

Really should get back to that...

[vast loom]

I like Kingambit

[viscid adder]

same! he's cool lookin'

[vast loom]

But he evolves with leadership

[viscid adder]

and that's the hard part

[vast loom]

Yep

What about the others like Annihilape, Farigiraf and Dudunsparce

[lilac tree]

Dudunsparce is the 2nd best pokemon behind Dunsparce

[viscid adder]

dudunsparce is dumb, but that's what makes him awesome

[viscid adder]

not gonna lie, all the evos are awesome in their own unique little ways

[lilac tree]

My favorite pokemon (other than bugs) are just, weird guys. Dunsparce, Stunfisk, Armaldo

[vast loom]

Ok

[forest summit]

Armaldo IS a bug

[fallen stratus]

The FNAF bear is gone

Its fazover

[severe musk]

[proper sinew]

you can get the gen 4 mons from an egg which is given to you by Jacq inside the DLC. It can contain one of the three of them.

[humble moth]

He didn’t survive the five nights

[faint cape]

NOOOOOOOOO

[tired torrent]

Blissey can finally get back out of OU and maybe all those OU mons who couldn't handle Bloodmoon can get out of UU and UU can go back to normal 😌

[tame path]

I caught! an applin!! I am positively delighted

what we had to go through to get it though... ough

[forest summit]

shiny

[tame path]

absolutely!

[harsh oasis]

Are you going to evolve it? I was never much of a fan of Appletun and Flapple's shinies. But I adore shiny Dipplin
