pokemon-winds-waves

[quartz locust]

True

But Rapid spin and Defog

[dusky drum]

Again it’s all like, guess work with planning counters

Because they could have a counter to the counter, they could not

[quartz locust]

Why are rock types so bad

I swear gamefreak must hate rock type the most out of any typings

The only good move is power gem and even then it's just ok

They have terrible moves, it's just a mediocre typing and it has some of the worst pokemon ever

Like Archeops could've been good but it has defeatist

[dusky drum]

No there’s some good rock type moves

Stone edge, Rock Slide, Accelerock, Rock Tomb, Rock Polish, Diamond Storm, Head Smash, Meteor Beam, Rock Blast, Salt Cure, etc

[quartz locust]

All of them have 80-90% accuracy

3 are One pokemon specific moves only

Head smash is nice but I'd only use it on Pokemon with rock head

Rock Slide is ok

But 90 accuracy and 75 power isn't great

It's good in doubles though

[dusky drum]

It’s the trade off for having stronger moves

Also game freak hates Ice Types the most so

[quartz locust]

I think it's rock type

Theres no rock types in Ubers basically or even used in competitive

[dusky drum]

That’s for a very

Specific reason

[quartz locust]

Rock is technically better than Ice but because it has such atrocious moves it's not

[dusky drum]

Ground types are the meta

So yeaaaaaah

[quartz locust]

Ground type is far superior

My least favorite typings are probably Rock and Normal

I will say that rock types would be better if they didn't have the worst moves ever

Theres also few rock types that are actually good

Besides Legendaries and the Pseudo legend

[viscid adder]

EARTHQUAKE

seriously that move is so overpowered that it hurts

[quartz locust]

And earth power as well being good

But EQ is a nightmare

Especially since ground Is a monster offensively

[odd cave]

Kids named tyranitar, mega diancie, glimmora and garganacl:

[quartz locust]

Did you read what I wrote

[odd cave]

Those are used in competitive tho

[quartz locust]

^

[odd cave]

Oh tru

Mb

[quartz locust]

Glimmora and Garg are good

But most others aren't

[viscid adder]

Glimmora the trap master and Garganacl the water killer

[quartz locust]

And Hisuian arcanine the Skull Breaker

[viscid adder]

The dark floof is growing on me

they remind me of stormclouds

....funny thing
the difference between the stats of h!arcanine and vanilla arcanine are pretty tiny but significant

[limber veldt]

OMG LET GOOOOO I WAS HUNTING FOR ROARING MOON BUT I DONT CAREEEEEE

[viscid adder]

[prisma echo]

A shinys a shiny

[fickle birch]

Here's my Lokix draft sprite for Smogon, plus some alternate palettes I made for fun. 😄

[vestal granite]

Oooh

I like the stance

A lot less, just standing there

[shadow urchin]

Got THIS shiny from a terra raid by LUCK and it's my 1st one in my Violet playthrough

[quartz locust]

The first ever shiny I got myself was a full odds lickylicky in Sun and Moon

Which was disappointing

For like a few years that was the only shiny I had obtained myself

But I shiny hunted most of the Hisuian pokemon last month and got like 8 shinies

[dusk isle]

The earliest shiny I've gotten that I can remember is a Petlil during a Mirage Island visit in Alpha Sapphire, I'd say that shiny cemented my love for Lilligant as my all time favorite Pokémon

[quartz locust]

That's interesting

Well I still hate Lickylicky

When I got the shiny lickylicky I had zero reaction I remember

If anything I was disappointed

[fallen stratus]

Is there a Kamen Rider version

[viscid adder]

brain thought of something interesting

the blueberry elite 4 might have new evos, one for each guy

[vestal granite]

I mean its highly speculated the dragon guy is gonna have the dipplin evo that was half confirmes

*confirmed

[viscid adder]

oh its so confirmed

it's got evolite privileges

[vestal granite]

Yeah, thats why I said half

Cos like it says in game

But hasnt been pfficially stated

[viscid adder]

my guesses for one of their aces:

I'm guessing since two of the four have cross-gen evos as their aces.
...and also granbull needs to get some love. and some more Cù-sìth inspiration.

if that doesn't happen, then I would totally be down to do it as some sort of drawing challenge

[oak fox]

Does washing your Pokémon during picnics cure status conditions? I’ve tried multiple times and it hasn’t worked

[vestal granite]

Dont think so

[analog sleet]

Is the dlc worth getting?

I haven't played since in a long time since like the water dragon suicune raids

[nova zephyr]

If you liked the isle of armor, it’s kinda like that but improved

It’s the same in the sense that it’s dlc you’re meant to play through as you play the main story, while the 2nd wave will be intended more for postgame content

[vestal granite]

Levels are like 70-80 tho

[nova zephyr]

Only if you play from the postgame

[vestal granite]

Wait does it scale?

[nova zephyr]

If you go at the start of the game you can get ogrepon to as low as level 10 iirc

Only the post-plot lousy trio aren’t level scaled

They’re always level 70

[viscid adder]

It does help boost friendship
But no. It doesn't work like it does in gen 7

[oak fox]

Bummer

[viscid adder]

Plus, the dlc is its own little story

Sooo it's kind of like a sequel

And there are so many cool locations

[forest summit]

This story is GARBAGE, but the region is ok

once again forced to get EXP Charm just to progress

Carmine makes Penny's issues and manipulation seem non-existent

they actually made PENNY likable

and she's not even IN the DLC

[nova zephyr]

Penny is far from unlikable

Swordward and shielbert are unlikable

I think the story could use a better ending than “oh we suddenly believe the story we’ve believed for decades is a lie, so sorry” but it’s better than IoA otherwise

[viscid adder]

It's the stuff between the siblings and helping ogerpon that gives it an edge

I still feel the pain of telling the younger sibling lies.

[digital latch]

Yeah I didn't like that at all. I get the sense they needed to give the brother a reason to be "driven to the dark side" or something, he's probably gonna try something in Part 2.... But that felt so forced and unnatural. At least on our character's part. Why give us dialogue options when there's no actual choice?

I would have chosen to spill the beans because I saw no reason to even lie in the first place.

[fickle birch]

The green one, in a roundabout way. It's Stingmon-inspired, which is also Kamen Rider-inspired. 😛

[novel totem]

where do you find the trio members after beating the dlc

[viscid adder]

the same place where you fought each one!

[novel totem]

oh

thanks

[oak fox]

Got my shit kicked by Kofu, so I caught a Skiddo to exact my revenge

[crude moss]

Gogoat woould get clobbered by crabaminable

[oak fox]

My plan backfired anyway, got KO’d on the first turn with Veluza and this sand storm. Razor leaf didn’t do squat even with Tera, fml

GO PAWL!!!!

OH MY GOD LETS GO

HE DODGED THE HAMMER

[oak fox]

HE DID IT

[crude moss]

Nice

[oak fox]

PAWL WON

[crude moss]

I ran a shiny pawmot on my run and revival blessing is such a hard carry

[oak fox]

I’m gonna take a picture of the winner

[crude moss]

He can carry you through tons of fights

[oak fox]

I love Pawl so much I’m so attached to him now

@crude moss LOOK AT MY BOY!

[crude moss]

Pawmot best pikachu clone ong ong

[oak fox]

To my skiddo Ace, thank you for your service, I’m sorry for what happened king 🫡

[crude moss]

Poor skiddo :(

[oak fox]

Skiddo got the short end of the stick, poor thing

[crude moss]

Skiddo evovles ar lvl 32

[oak fox]

Ye I know

I always look up Pokémon on serebii

[crude moss]

I personally use pokemondb

[oak fox]

I prefer serebii because it’s more to the point

Everything’s just laid out right there and it’s perfectly readable

[oak fox]

It’s SO cute it hurts. It reminds me of a koala or a sloth 🥺

[crude moss]

Komala is so underrated

[oak fox]

Komala is so cute

[crude moss]

Sleep talk last resort with choice scarf is busted

[oak fox]

It reminds me a little bit of a Squishable

[crude moss]

This makes me want to get back into national dex competitive again

[oak fox]

Also here’s my team :) Im not great at team building so I tend to strive for a well rounded team with plenty of coverages and attack types

[crude moss]

Palafin is the most op mon in the game rn

[oak fox]

Hell yeah

I found this little guy at an outbreak!

[crude moss]

Also salt cure is such a cheese move for boss fights (baring the car fights)

[oak fox]

Ikr

I got my practice in with the Cobblemon mod for Minecraft lol, salt cure is basically a free Poison

[crude moss]

It carried me through so many sequence “breaks”

[oak fox]

Garganacl became a huge staple in my team and helped me stand up to my brother

It’s literally so busted

[crude moss]

Absolutely broken

[oak fox]

I don’t do competitive all that often because I suck at it and kind of feel bad about it

Tried my hand at it again a couple of days ago and nothing changed skill wise

I have the knowledge but it’s the actual team building and strategizing that are my weak points. I tend to get overwhelmed too.

Any win I do get is usually a result of incredibly dumb luck

Metronome battles are a blast though

Question, if I manually train a Pokémon up to a level beyond my gym badge limit, will it still disobey me? I noticed truancy with an over leveled Rotom I caught, but not my other mons which were around the same level.

[quartz locust]

I don't think many people know how to make teams

They just play the game with pre made teams

That's what I do in game and on showdown

Im like pokeball tier 6 rn

[oak fox]

oh that's fair lol

[viscid adder]

I mean, he's the first pikaclone to evolve and he has revival blessing

which kicks all kinds of ass

[crude moss]

It is absolutely broken

I just built a team and completely forgor pawmot

The entire reason i built the team

[viscid adder]

revival blessing might not be the best move to have at tera raids, but in combat?
best thing ever

[crude moss]

Its useless in tera raids

Isnt it the first normal move to have 1pp?

[viscid adder]

nope, sketch has 1pp

you can't increase the pp on either

[crude moss]

Imagine rezzing your entire team with 1 mon

Literally overwatch 1 season 1 mercy

[crude moss]

I forgor about sketch

I never use smeargle besides on showdown so I never see it

[viscid adder]

all I can say is that smergle can learn any move with sketch

[crude moss]

Yup, thats why its good in showdown

But to find the moves you want in an actual playthrough is annoying

[viscid adder]

if revival blessing was op, then yeah your electric rodent can defibulate all your duders and then some

[crude moss]

Ow1 moth meta but pawmot

[quiet brook]

I was looking at usage stats for competitive and when I looked at lurantis I saw that 3% of people that use lurantis put leaf guard on it over contrary

Why??? Contrary is what makes it somewhat viable, I cant really think of a use case for leafguard that lurantis could have, like maybe some obscure niche but like why lurantis? surely there is a better mon for that niche

[karmic escarp]

How many people use it in total? Maybe it's just a few people going into a game forgetting to set its ability

[quiet brook]

0.07 percent, there was another format that had a higher usage in around 0.18 percent I think

[karmic escarp]

Or maybe its a meme set

[quiet brook]

you expect the lurantis to set up using superpower or leafstorm but its like is a support mon with spore

[karmic escarp]

I don't think it even gets sleep powder

[quiet brook]

It doesnt i just checked

[quiet brook]

I just fought someone who ran sap sipper azumarill

[quartz locust]

That's why comatose is goated

[viscid adder]

oh hell yeah

[quartz locust]

If you have comatose ( ability ), you can use sleep talk

And get 16 Revival blessings

[viscid adder]

automatic immunity to status ailments and automatic sleep talk privileges

[quartz locust]

Comatose is one of the most broken abilities fr

[viscid adder]

so is good as gold

...but the free sleep talks give it an edge

....i'm imagining a maushold with parental bond

[quartz locust]

Comatose is better than Good as gold

[viscid adder]

ye

[quartz locust]

What would be the 2nd best ability hmm

Behind Wonder guard obviously

[viscid adder]

comatose seems pretty op

so it should go second

and then good as gold in third

...no

gorilla tactics is third

[karmic escarp]

Isn't good as gold just worse magic bounce except for it blocking defog?

[karmic escarp]

and gorilla tactics is worse pure power

[quartz locust]

I think second place is parental bond

And third is neutralizing gas

And huge power/Pure power

Prankster

Speed boost

Magic guard

[viscid adder]

hence why I was thinking of parental bond maushold

[viscid adder]

i'd say that gorilla tactics is an automatic choice band

that you can stack with another choice band

giving it a super huge attack boost

that's why cloudstreef's fave is galarian darmanitan

[warm lark]

Is there someone here that could quickly help me out with some trade evolutions? I need it to finish the dlc pokedex.

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/galar-darmanitan-spinning-gif-14575733608549402903

[karmic escarp]

x2 > x1,5

[viscid adder]

oh yeah neutralizing gas is the smoke machine in a rock concert.... while the partner is the star of the show

[viscid adder]

attack boost by 225% with the choice band stacking is still not a number to scoff at

that's a x2.25 attack boost right there

[quartz locust]

Huge power is better but gorilla tactics is still amazing

[viscid adder]

hence why everyone brings the blue bunny

[quartz locust]

The only thing is that if you have gorilla tactics mold breaker doesn't screw you over

[karmic escarp]

huh?

[quiet brook]

contrary is pretty good

[karmic escarp]

that doesn't answer my question? How mold breaker affect huge power mons but not gorilla tactics?

[viscid adder]

..@quartz locust?

[quartz locust]

Because huge power works that it makes a pokemon good in the first place

With gorilla tactics you have a pokemon with a good attack stat

Gorilla tactics is a boost

Huge power is what makes the pokemon work in the first place

[quartz locust]

True

[karmic escarp]

That's not how mold breaker works anyways

[quartz locust]

?

[karmic escarp]

It only ignores abilities when atacking, so it ignores levitate when atacking but doesn't ignore huge power when defending

[viscid adder]

well maybe to solve this mystery, @quartz locust and @karmic escarp should settle it in a

POKEMON BATTLE

..no?

ok

[quartz locust]

Fr

Pokemon showdown random battles or just team battles ig

[quiet brook]

gen 4 little cup

[winter folio]

i love how game freak was like: "hey let's take the national bird, the national animal, and a popular dog breed and make them evil"

although it's pretty clever since, because of that, people wouldn't really suspect them being evil

except some people did before the dlc came out so it didn't really work out but still

[quiet frost]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1975028495-3vny75wi5b0t5zpzelkc6afl1xxtwhupw

Have no clue how I won with 6 ZU pokemon against a pretty decent OU team

[tired torrent]

The second we heard about Toxic Chain the secret was officially out

It's like how people could tell about Rose just from his official art

Game freak is subtle as a hammer tbh

[oak fox]

Fighting Brassius rn. My team is over leveled, literally Nemona had higher level pokemon than him. Wtf?

[tired torrent]

The gyms don't scale

[oak fox]

Why levels don’t auto adjust is beyond me tbh.

[tired torrent]

If you go fight Katy as your 8th gym she'll still have like level 12s or whatever

[oak fox]

What the hell lol why?

[tired torrent]

Because Game Freak

That's all I got tbh

[oak fox]

If my third gym badge is for Pokémon up to level 35 then I should expect my opponent to have around the same level

[tired torrent]

I would guess they just don't wanna design 8 teams for each type

[oak fox]

I guess so but like, come on, would it have been that hard to program an auto-adjust?

[tired torrent]

Oh they could totally have it do that

Evidence seen by the scripted battles at set number of gyms

They just didn't

It was a choice made

[quiet frost]

Yeah, for the dlc the levels scale if you've beaten the game or not, but the teams stay the same. They fight u with like level 60 nfes but then one battle later they're evolved

[oak fox]

Yeah like, especially since this is an open world game where you can progress however you want

[tired torrent]

Whether because they didn't want to, or they didn't have time, who knows

[oak fox]

Given the amount of bugs and oversights at launch I’d assume the latter tbh.

[quiet frost]

And you can totally just cheese everything with salt cure and revives

[oak fox]

I’m better then that lol

I had a hard time with Kofu

[tired torrent]

Tbf the wild Pokemon don't scale either so "Open World" is a term

[oak fox]

Yeah true

[tired torrent]

You can walk up to Glaseado but if something bumps into you you're out

[oak fox]

Lol

Hey, if the time comes when I need to evolve Finizen, I might need help finding a union circle

Online-only evolutions suck :’(

[fickle birch]

It's funny, because I can literally code this to work in Essentials. 😅

[oak fox]

Holy damn. Just met Mela and I felt my heart flutter. 👀

Call me a simp or whatever but my sapphic ass cannot rn.

anyone know where to get armor for Charcadet?

[fickle birch]

She is a child.

[oak fox]

WHAT

I THOUGHT THEY WERE COLLEGE STUDENTS

[fickle birch]

I guess the people in the school can be any age, but there's no reason why they'd be much older than Arven. 😅

[oak fox]

Yeah like. There’s a lot of student trainers that are clearly older anyway so I don’t see why some of the special ones you meet wouldn’t be adults

Does it matter which pick you use when making sandwiches?

[oak fox]

is it ever stated how old arven is at all

[tired torrent]

No but sword or bust

[oak fox]

Lol

[fickle birch]

No, but I can't imagine he's older than 16. 😅

[oak fox]

He looked a lot older to me tbh

Or maybe I’m just dumb

[severe pier]

I should probably finish my SV Nuzlocke

[vernal sedge]

Shoot me a ping whenever you want to do it, I'm here to assist with any evos like that if needed

[oak fox]

thank you!!!

[vernal sedge]

If you still need the armor as well, you can get it from a person in front of a fountain in Zapicio(?) assuming you're playing Scarlet

If you're Violet though I can hook you up with the armor item

Or if you need Violet countepart, I can get you that as well just need to hunt the items for it

[quiet frost]

Anybody whants to play oni games?

[quiet frost]

There is literally a couple of actual old people and middle aged men so

[oak fox]

yes

[oak fox]

i'm playing violet, im assuming Malicious Armor is violet only?

(which is what im looking for anyway)

[vernal sedge]

Malicious is Violet only, yeah

Scarlet is Auspicious

[oak fox]

👍

[frosty brook]

Pokemon scarlet and violet infinite fusion would be cool and pokemon from previous regions

[oak fox]

YO SHUT THE FUCK UP

YO.

FULL ODDS LETS GO

[viscid adder]

I had that exact encounter

...well except that I didn't use a sandwich

I named her goldie!

she's currently in sword and shield, learning some of the stronger moves like hydro pump

[oak fox]

good for her!!! 😤
i didnt use a sandwich either lol, i dont even have a recipe for a shiny encounter+ sandwich, this was completely full odds

[viscid adder]

god i love how they rendered the shiny

it almost looks golden!

[oak fox]

same here!!! i'm almost reluctant to evolve him haha

[viscid adder]

that's why I'm boosting her and letting her hold an everstone

[dusk isle]

well i was able to beat an 6-Star Dragonite for the first time. Maybe not something to celebrate about but considering how huge a hassle is with it constantly spamming Dragon Dance, I'll that the victory

[viscid adder]

until we meet again...

hello hello! I'm a smaller content creator, just made a video more comedic/vgc based! Feel free to check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozUmJCHA5eU&t=885s&ab_channel=Konamiplsnerf

[quiet frost]

i can’t beat mismagius

😭

[vernal sedge]

You mean Iono's Mismagius?

[quiet frost]

yeah

[vernal sedge]

What team are you running atm

[quiet frost]

hariyama, luxio, floragato, crocalor, quaxwell and corvisquire

although like when quaxwell evolved i can get rid of hariyama and corvisquire

im able to do another gym and come back to it when ready right

[vernal sedge]

If I remember right, Mismagius's only attacking moves are Charge Beam and Hex

[quiet frost]

i just need a dark/ground type

[vernal sedge]

Have you captured a Pawmi or Pawmo yet? If you can't find a group type easily the electric typing will resist charge beam and help with avoiding hex

Since it's electric/fighting when it evolves

Fighting would esp help with the ghost avoidance as Mismagius likes to do the confuse ray + hex combo

[quiet frost]

i didn’t wanna go with pawmi as id rather have a luxray m

does confusion boost hex or something

[vernal sedge]

Hex gets a damage boost if the pokemon it's attacking has any status condition

Like confusion, sleep, paralysis ect

If you're looking for a group type you could go for Clodsire and then use poison to your advantage

Clodsire has pretty good special defense

You wouldn't be able to hit the ground type moves, but sending it as first pokemon and using toxic spikes in advance of Mismagius can help you wittle it down while you stall it out slowly

[nova zephyr]

Toxic spikes are useless in a raid iirc

Because the mismagius never actually switches in

It’s just… there

[vernal sedge]

It's not a raid though, this is Iono's one we were talking about

But yeah bringing a setup pokemon (i.e spikes, not defense downs ect) in raids is such a bad idea

[vestal granite]

Sandile

[quartz locust]

You can use toxtricity instead of Luxray

[karmic escarp]

Just get an ursaluna

[tawdry flame]

mismagius also has levitate, so automatically ground type moves can't be used on it

[compact hare]

Walmart eelektross

Use smackdown or somethin

Or something with mold breaker

[odd cave]

I used smack down naclstack, then i used stomping tantrum

[viscid adder]

that's what made iono's gym so hard!

unless you know entrainment

then go wild

[tawdry flame]

Or if you have a Pokémon with mold breaker, which in-game only the axew-line would work the best due to them being able to TM ground moves

[nova zephyr]

Oh my bad, I thought they meant the event raid boss

[indigo field]

I swear, the only challenge in that game was Iono & Clavell

My starter was a bit overleveled so I tried not to use it, but Iono would've swept my team if I didn't have her.

Not a proud victory

[night gulch]

I'm of the opinion if you play pkmn for the challenge you're playing the wrong series

Understandable tho

The ones I struggled with were Iono, team star fighting, and I think the elephant

[odd cave]

Iono is probably one of my fav gym battles

[night gulch]

Same

[wispy kernel]

hot take

the hardest pokemon game is Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

[night gulch]

y'see this is just true lol

but people don't wanna believe that

[wispy kernel]

yup

I deadass had someone tell me it was a romhack that was the hardest pokemon game once

[night gulch]

i've played usum twice all the way through and done everything

well rom hacks are different

considering that's fan made

[wispy kernel]

yeah theyre not even official lmao

[wispy kernel]

only twice?

I’ve played it uh

7 times

[night gulch]

i've started playthroughs

but my poor 3ds always loses some form of progress

it's homebrew and i mess with it a lot

[wispy kernel]

If you cant tell USUM is my favorite pokemon game

[night gulch]

i'm playing a pretty pog US rom hack tho!

honestly? based

[wispy kernel]

SM was my first

[night gulch]

i love scvi but USUM holds a special place in my heart

[wispy kernel]

and I had so much fun with it so just taking my first game and making it better instantly makes it my favorite

[night gulch]

yeee!

[wispy kernel]

i transferred almost all the pokemon off of it but i still have my original save file for sun

[night gulch]

i have a physical copy of sun

[wispy kernel]

almost all my 3ds games are physical

i only really have 1 problem with USUM

mega stones arent just. in the wild or whatever

you have to buy all but like 4 of them

a mega stone treasure hunt would be awesome

I made an entire list of where Mega Stones could be located in USUM

[wispy kernel]

I wanna make a romhack with this one day

[dusky drum]

Having the mega ring be unlocked post game was evil

Just like the purple nectar being post game as well

[viscid adder]

lemme guess: necrozma.

[nova zephyr]

I oneshot one of the final totems in that game with whiscash

[wispy kernel]

not just necrozma

its definitely part of it, but the totems were made a lot more difficult too

trainer battles too

[indigo field]

That's also one of the only games that I actually had to strategize to win a battle

Ultra Necrozma had hands

Only that and the final boss of Legends Arceus made me work for it

[prime moss]

you can defeat ultra necrozma instantly if you have a zorua/zoroark with foul play and anything weak to psychic

[indigo field]

Also Iono and Clavell from S/V

But yeah, I don't play Pokémon for the challenge. Just those moments happened to be the most challenging for me.

[prime moss]

step 1: lead zorua/zoroark with psychic weak 'mon in back
step B: click foul play
step III: the turn resolves like this: ultra necrozma goes first and uses photon geyser, thinking it'll be super effective, zorua/zoroark takes 0 damage because it's immune to psychic, then zorua/zoroark uses super effective foul play with ultra necrozma's turbo cracked attack stat
step 4: ultra necrozma faints and the battle is over

[indigo field]

Like, I was here to vibe, why is this Quaquaval styling on me? XD

There's prolly many ways to annihilate Necrozma, but I wanted to win with my team and was excited when I found the right strat.

[prime moss]

oh sure, it's just really funny that if someone is really struggling, the easiest way to go "lol no" is to just throw an illusion fox at it

[indigo field]

That is indeed hilarious

Man, I miss my Ultra Moon team

[prime moss]

if you use a really low leveled zorua for that it gains like 20 levels and evolves

instantly

[quartz locust]

SC/VI was also hard Ngl

The girl with the Revaroom that had speed boost was hard af

[dusk isle]

You mean Mela right? I made the somewhat foolish mistake by tackling her as my first Team Star raid (didn't know there wasn't a level scaling system at the time), but my Charcadet was the MVP of that fight

[quartz locust]

Yeah mela

[odd cave]

THE ONE PIECE IS REAL 🗣️‼️‼️‼️

https://tenor.com/view/can-we-get-much-higher-so-high-one-piece-one-piece-is-real-gif-27101910

[viscid adder]

You, Nemona, on the other hand..

[quiet brook]

Lurantis is one of my favorite pokemon and it has so much potential but its stats, Cut its special attack in half and raise its hp and attack

and serperior is better because its fast and 5 more in all defensive stats and hp while having a worse sp atk and attack

[quartz locust]

Lol

People use Lurantises special attack because of leaf storm contrary

If they decreased it's special attack it would be even worse

I don't know why lurantis is so slow anyways

It should have like 90 speed

[wraith axle]

It's a plant that lure it's pray seems logical to me

[viscid adder]

yeah its not an actual mantis

its a plant thats mimicking a bug rather than a bug mimicking a plant

[quiet brook]

It has super power for its physical attack that also boosts its defense

[odd cave]

It’s better to raise SpAttack x2 imo

One of the reasons serperior is so good

[quiet brook]

Then I guess a better way to buff it would be to switch special attack and normal attack while giving it more special moves and coverage

also lurantis has higher special attack than serperior

[prime moss]

Lurantis does get a better physical movepool though

[viscid adder]

i'm thinking of an ability where the pokemon gets faster during sunny weather

[odd cave]

Sooo chlorophyll?

[viscid adder]

damn

i forgor

...actually now that you mentioned it lurantis should totally have chlorophyll

[prime moss]

Chlorophyll would have been nice on it!!

[viscid adder]

especially since the pokemon are based on orchid mantises

and mantises are fast AF

[prime moss]

well, they strike quickly, but they don't exactly move around that fast

[viscid adder]

hm

maybe instead of speed

they would get heightened priority in the sun

[quiet brook]

thats why it should be more invested into physical if it were to get a buff, give it a signature move called leaf strike thats 110 base power and lowers your attack special defense and defense by .5 and my it grass type for stab

I need a viable lurantis man

[viscid adder]

ALRIGHT PEOPLE

YOU KNOW THE DRILL

NEW TERA RAID GOT ANNOUNCED

AND ITS SPOOKY BOY

Which means analysis time.

I suggest we hold back on water types at the moment, because this bastard has not one but TWO electric type moves in its disposal.

And solar beam.

[dusk isle]

so what would you suggest?

[viscid adder]

So if anyone brings an ogerpon, I highly suggest everyone to protect that baby at all costs

[viscid adder]

at the moment? I suggest not bringing any water or dark types.
With any seven star raid, the opponent has moves dedicated to eliminate its own weaknesses.

I also have been cooking up a little theory

hisuian typlosion might have a similar type move pool to the og typlosion raid

you see, the decidueye raid was like this:

while fall owl was this:

if we can apply that logic to explodey boi..

H. Typlosion will have a fire type move, a ghost type move, a fairy type move and a ground type move (to counteract the people bringing rock types)

[dusk isle]

🤔, I can only think of bringing a dragon type to resist the fire type, but aren't most Paldea dragon mons have a type thats weak to the Fighting or Electric move Typhlosion might have in the raid?

[viscid adder]

I also fear that this guy might also bring an electric type/grass type move to the playing field, but I can't confirm or deny this until the moveset gets released.

[dusk isle]

true true

[viscid adder]

oh your ass is gonna get served on a platter anyway

there are gonna be people trying to counter those ghost type moves, so naturally that bastard is gonna have a move to counter the counter

[dusk isle]

Ironically, it only took two attempts to beat Hisuian Decidueye

[viscid adder]

so no. don't bring a dragon.

or a dark type.

[dusk isle]

forgot the "for me" part

[viscid adder]

ursaluna seems to be a good option

[dusk isle]

base form or|| Bloodmoon||?

[viscid adder]

both

[dusk isle]

https://tenor.com/view/both-agree-yes-good-gif-4591420

[viscid adder]

unless the ghosty boi brings solar beam

[viscid adder]

oh both is so good

[dusk isle]

so are we still at that phase of the game where have to spoil alert the name or are we pass that?

[viscid adder]

spoiler it just in case

[dusk isle]

👍

[viscid adder]

however, I would be careful with using|| bloodmoon.||
||Bloodmoon's|| special defense stat is ass.
If you want my advice, ||||vanilla ursaluna|| is a good choice. It's a physical attacker that can definitely take care of typlosion's less than stellar defense stat.

But this is only hypothetical.

I'll update when the moveset is confirmed.

In the meantime, prepare teams that aren't water or dark types.

Bring a water type or a dark type, and chances are that you will be smoked before you even land a blow.
...Except Ogerpon. Ogerpon kicks ass. And if someone brings it, protect the baby.

[quartz locust]

Azumarill would be pretty good

[viscid adder]

again, be careful

[quartz locust]

If it brings solar beam just bring rain dance and protect

[viscid adder]

wild charge.

typlosion has wild charge

[quartz locust]

Isn’t it Hisuian typhlosion?

Manaphy could be good

Rain dance, take heart, Scald and rest

With hydration

Or just tail glow instead of Take heart

[viscid adder]

both boys have that

[wispy kernel]

ok but

1. Wild Charge sucks ass
2. It’s a Special Attacker

[compact hare]

Chicken burger

[karmic escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/burger-gif-24394196

[viscid adder]

this is all speculation

I don't think h. typlosion is gonna bring wild charge

but I know its gonna have a move that's gonna counter the ground, rock, and water types

[odd cave]

Normal typhlosion had play rough and earthquake

Also wild charge doesn’t give too much recoil damage to tera raid bosses

[nova zephyr]

Shiny spiritomb on Halloween night

128 eggs for this beauty

[fickle birch]

Congrats! It's a great Shiny, too. 😄

[pulsar sandal]

No context

[viscid adder]

tandemaus, but they breed like rabbits

[pulsar sandal]

Yup

Basically

Its maushold if they kept going

[viscid adder]

if maushold was a legendary pokemon, it would be a giant rat king made up of rats

like a wishiwashi, but normal type and it can hit so many times

[pulsar sandal]

I need this varient form NOW

[odd cave]

Population bomb now hits 100 times

[pulsar sandal]

FR

[viscid adder]

ok we totally need a pokemon game that's like smash bros CHAO5 mod.

every character is overpowered

even the weaklings

[dusky drum]

Hackmons but with more effort

[viscid adder]

arceus could smite your ass

shuckle could have the defense of a doomsday bunker

[pulsar sandal]

Tanckle

[viscid adder]

rayquaza could destroy the world if they could

[pulsar sandal]

Tank+shuckle=Tanckle

[viscid adder]

its such a fun concept

oh! and pikachu's electric type moves can hit ground types

[pulsar sandal]

WAIT

GUYS

YALL NEED TO PUT MAUSHOLD IN POKEMON FUSION AND MAKE IT THIS

MAUSHOLD+MAUSEHOLD=THAT

[viscid adder]

GOOD IDEA

[karmic escarp]

That's kinda Pokemon elite redux

[viscid adder]

but stupider

like, everyone is so overpowered that even a magikarp can possibly kick your ass

or hell, a varoom

[pulsar sandal]

Its like dugtrio+dugtrio maushold

[odd cave]

Isn’t that already true?

[viscid adder]

scratch that

rayquaza could destroy multiple planets and the sun if they could

[nova zephyr]

The sun could destroy rayquaza

[viscid adder]

not a super overpowered rayquaza

[nova zephyr]

No I mean the sun is Solgaleo

Who is also overpowered

[viscid adder]

rayquaza knows a couple of fire type moves and some fighting type moves

[nova zephyr]

Considering this is a mod where everything is op, why not give Solgaleo an ice move?

[viscid adder]

......oh you have a good point

[quartz locust]

You know who can beat rayquaza

Ice monkey

[wispy kernel]

Indigo Disk Release Date dropped

[quiet frost]

Woot woot

[severe pier]

Me on December 14th

https://tenor.com/view/suit-slideshow-man-in-suit-sitting-man-wearing-suit-sitting-slideshow-man-wearing-suit-meme-gif-25275395

[wispy kernel]

13th for you

[quiet frost]

is sucker punch a priority move?

[wispy kernel]

+1

fails if the target isnt using an Attacking Move

[quiet frost]

i think there should be a use to it

because its kinda a bad move

if it depends on attacking moves

like maybe a 25 percent chance to flinch

[wispy kernel]

lmao no

its an amazing move

adding a flinch CHANCE would be ridiculously broken

[quiet frost]

nvm mb

[viscid adder]

and this is why I want to make a pokemon game where every pokemon and every move is ridiculously overpowered

[odd cave]

Bullet seed but it hits 10 times

[viscid adder]

hyper beam but it doesn't need a recharge

[forest summit]

Bullet Seed is stupidly OP with loaded dice

[ionic echo]

Nah scale shot all the way

[viscid adder]

Made a dragapult that's based on multiattacks

[ionic echo]

Dragapult just knows every move huh

[viscid adder]

hackmon

[ionic echo]

oh lmao

[viscid adder]

well, balanced hackmon

but still

[nova zephyr]

252 in nearly every stat
Nah dude it’s legit

[karmic escarp]

Why sniper? Are technician and skill link banned? And why two dragon moves, isn't dragapult fast enough to not need scale shot?

[nova zephyr]

What about rock blast? It doesn’t have something to hit ice types

[nova zephyr]

Actually that makes me think

There aren’t any special multi hit moves, are there?

[viscid adder]

well there's twin beam, but it hits twicce

..WAIT

WATER SHRUIKEN

[ionic echo]

this would be great in ou, I cant wait to try it!

[viscid adder]

sorry

hackmon

[nova zephyr]

Dang even water shuriken sounds like it would be physical

[ionic echo]

ikik

jkjk

[viscid adder]

it's not

[nova zephyr]

I never noticed so many multi hits are physical

[viscid adder]

..actually

it used to

[karmic escarp]

It was

[viscid adder]

until gen 7

[viscid adder]

considering that you are throwing things at your opponent, yeah it tracks

[nova zephyr]

Or repeatedly slapping

[viscid adder]

now, what kind of hackmon would you like to see me do next?

[nova zephyr]

Do one that entirely focuses on confusion

[viscid adder]

a nice challenge!

[nova zephyr]

Probably wouldn’t be incredibly strong but I’m curious how far it can be taken if it’s the focus

[viscid adder]

hex was added so he can cause more damage

[karmic escarp]

Does hex actually work with confusión?

[viscid adder]

....nope

[nova zephyr]

Not bad

[viscid adder]

it's not a non-volatile status ailment

[nova zephyr]

Imagine if hex was boosted by being throat chopped

[viscid adder]

and this is why an overpowered pokemon game should exist

because the possibilities of stupidity are endless

[karmic escarp]

Just wait till gen 12

[viscid adder]

three spots left!

what hackmon should I do next?

[ionic echo]

White herb unburden headlong rush/close combat great tusk

[viscid adder]

now... what two other moves should i add..

can't add recycle

it would kill the speed boost

[ionic echo]

Maybe a torque move

Wicked Torque

For ghosts

Or noxious for flutter

[viscid adder]

I added trailblaze to combat water types and boost his speed even more

noxious would totally work to kill the grass types too

[ionic echo]

It’ll already be super fast idk if you need trailblaze

[viscid adder]

aight

then what move should replace it?

[ionic echo]

Drum beating for ooga booga

Slows 100% too

[viscid adder]

we have created a beast

i love it

TWO SPOTS LEFT

[ionic echo]

There’s tera in the format? If so make it poison also

[viscid adder]

done and done

[karmic escarp]

That's neutral on flutter

[viscid adder]

but damn can it clear grass

[karmic escarp]

Swagger, opportunist, mirror herb and spectral theif

[viscid adder]

sorry bro
but we're in balanced hackmons

but let's see what I can make

[odd cave]

Is heart swap in the game? Cuz it could be a replacement for spectral

[viscid adder]

heart swap is legal!

[odd cave]

[nova zephyr]

Imagine getting swagger stat buffs and then they haze it off of you

“You are my setup”

[viscid adder]

we have room for one more monstrosity

[fallen stratus]

Is this a BH team

[viscid adder]

yep

[odd cave]

There’s better pokemon for some of them

[viscid adder]

For Mimikyu, Dragapult, and Hypno, I just picked the dudes that reminded me of the gimmicks described

I have finally figured out the final gimmick

[nova zephyr]

Didn’t pick electrode?

[viscid adder]

too obvious

...although I won't might checking the stats

huh. didn't know this little ball is super fast

[nova zephyr]

Gotta be fast to kaboom

[viscid adder]

ok, so I need two other moves

[quartz locust]

That’s alright

[fallen stratus]

Why calm mind

Why not something like Nasty Plot or Tail Glow

[viscid adder]

to charge up the sp. atk and sp. def

...oh nasty plot works more

gotcha

actually

tail glow

I want this guy to really go boom

[fallen stratus]

Exactly

[viscid adder]

one more move to close it out

screech is to lower the defenses

unless you know of a move that kills both physical and special defenses

[fallen stratus]

Misty Explosion is special tho

So wouldn't Metal Sound be better

[viscid adder]

ok!

now one more move...

[fallen stratus]

Actually Fake Tears is better since it has better accuracy

Or you could go Lumina Crash to also deal damage while lowering the spdef

[viscid adder]

and with that

the team is complete

i love it

I want to own it just because its funny

[tired torrent]

Tbf

Nah they’re full of wisdom

[wide kite]

Ooh

I’m waiting for the indigo disc to drop to do more shiny hunts

I’ve done so many paldean ones it’s hard to find a good target anymore, and there are so many promising ones coming in that dlc

While I wait I’m just hunting whatever I happen to find in PLA and a few dynamax adventures

[celest warren]

i found the first one i while typing out a measage to a friwnd asking for lotad shiny hunting tips than not even a minute later found the other!

[wispy kernel]

Hisuian Decidueye spotted

[celest warren]

Ochre knows false swipe and i used an ability patch and capsule on him so he has scraggy and can false swipe ghosts 💪💪

[placid spoke]

Hey this isn’t anything prior to fusions but does anyone have a Koraidon to trade for Miraidon??

[celest warren]

i have one i got traded a bit back!

if u want it for the dex entry r u okay with trading it back

[ivory coral]

Could someone help me evolve my finizen pls

[hallow atlas]

Hey does anybody have advice on how to get good at the terrastalized online match’s

And advice on shinys

[wispy kernel]

acquire skill and luck

[fallen stratus]

That's gacha advice

Shiny hunting is just gambling without real stakes

[viscid adder]

Git gud

That's literally the only advice I can give

[hallow atlas]

Ok thanks

[viscid adder]

Sandwiches

And outbreaks

And trades

[fallen stratus]

Sandwiches just make a new one ez ez

[viscid adder]

...if only completing ogre ousting was that easy

[fallen stratus]

I have no friends to do oustin with

[celest warren]

shiny charm than find outbreaks and run loops or smth around the area so u despawn and respawn them until u get a shiny, also try and use a level 2 encounter sandwich if u dont wanna use herba mystica on sparkling sandwiches

and lots of patience and luck

[hallow atlas]

Ok thanks

[celest warren]

not even a few minutes into me opening thre game and look who i find!

[celest warren]

i reallllly want a shiny drifloon if anyone has one id be willing to trade like, a shiny ralts, toedscool, pawmi, lotad or hoppip for it!

[quiet frost]

If only I had one

[tawdry flame]

For anyone who is planning to do an annihilape outbreak, bring in breloom and a Pokémon with scrappy as their ability (either H-Decidueye or flamigo) + false swipe
(edit: forgot that annihlape has vital spirit as an ability, so yeah)

Definitely not from experience of having a shiny one using final gambit

[karmic escarp]

So, tera ghost on flamigo would be really good for this

[wide kite]

Also saving before entering battle with a shiny keeps the shiny loaded, so if it faints in battle you can reload your save :D

(Source: found a shiny kilowattrel that despawned like twice, reloaded my save and it was still there)

[pseudo prism]

You can also use the picnic table to despawn all pokemon in the area if you're using outbreaks

Saves you running back and forth but not as fun, makes it more of a grind imo

[ember burrow]

I mean...this only works if the outbreak isn't in water.

[cerulean plover]

Or is 21:40 not long for you

I’m gonna drive home from work so I’ll read your messages in 45 minutes

[alpine holly]

I am in New York so I’m EST

The reason it shows your time is because I used a program thing to make it show your time zone

[neon tide]

Oh cool

Uh i have welding classes till 21u30 and i need 30 min to get home

But just send it and I’ll look when home

[alpine holly]

Ok I’ll dm you

[dusk isle]

I just found out from Nov 16 to Nov 20 there will be a Mighty Eevee raid

[nova zephyr]

Time to bring the old body press iron defense Corviknight back out

[pseudo prism]

Yeah there's gonna be tons of eevee outbreaks too, but you might need to activate a mystery gift for that

[forest summit]

7/8s of all starters are he/him

[fallen stratus]

What does that mean

What is 7/8s

[tired torrent]

87.5%

[fallen stratus]

Oh the in-game gender ratio

[viscid adder]

my little sis got a female starter in her pokemon sun game

it was a rowlet and she named it rose

plus I'm a proud owner of a female mighty delphox

[fallen stratus]

I've never had a female starter

[quartz locust]

I don't even remember the genders of any of my starters

Or any of my pokemon ever

[viscid adder]

oh I remember

all of them were dudes

[pseudo prism]

I remember having a female chikorita in heart gold. Was pretty pleased about that

[neon tide]

Imagine resetting for a shiny starter and it’s a female

That shit is rare

It’s like 85% male 15% female prob not correct but around that

[pseudo prism]

87.5 I reckon

Imagine how chuffed you would be

[tired torrent]

Mayhaps to bits

[viscid adder]

nay, one that actually lasts through an entire nuzlocke

trust me. I remember the one guy that had a female popplio two or three times and none of them lived.
(none of them are shiny btw)

[nova zephyr]

I got a female shiny Skeledirge when I masuda hunted the paldea starters

[viscid adder]

NICE!

[hushed bay]

I tend to always get female starters regardless of games...

[peak sequoia]

they need to buff altaria

call me aerial ace the way i never miss

[viscid adder]

[quartz locust]

Basically most pokemon from gens 1-4 need buffs

[frank patio]

every time i see a shiny furret i wanna shiny hunt him more and more

[quartz locust]

Cotton candy…

[sacred spoke]

A chubbyemu styled video about the goat, annihilape

[forest summit]

Fun fact: Petilil is the first Gen 5 Pokémon in the SV dex... it's also kind later on in the dex at 104

[forest summit]

Total Pokémon by generation % as of DLC 1, including event/Home transfer-exclusive mon:

Gen 1: 72/151 (47.7%)
Gen 2: 58/100 (58%)
Gen 3: 64/135 (47.4%)
Gen 4: 76/107 (71%)
Gen 5: 56/156 (35.9%)
Gen 6: 43/72 (59.7%)
Gen 7: 37/88 (42%)
Gen 8: 63/96 (65.6%)

[odd cave]

Huh i thought there were more gen 5 pokemon considering there’s a lot of hisuian forms like lilligant or braviary

[quartz locust]

Yet all of the good gen 8 pokemon are still missing

[viscid adder]

i want justice for grapploct, yamper, cursola, and orbeetle

....on the plus side, I do love that gen 9 finally implements a transformation animation for Morpeko

we still got a blinding light, but y'know baby steps

[quartz locust]

All of the Galarian regional forms and the fossils are missing

There's only 2 in the game rn

[viscid adder]

yeah that's pretty disappointing

i loved those messed up fossil lads

[quartz locust]

I just need my G-Darm

[viscid adder]

don't worry, cloudstreef
one day, the pokemon gods will give love and respect to g-parmesan

[quartz locust]

Parmesan is goated

[viscid adder]

oh he is such a fun little goat

[quartz locust]

Gorilla tactics

[viscid adder]

a choice scarf that allows you to wear two choice scarves at once

a broken tactic, but a good tactic noneoftheless

[quartz locust]

It's a built in choice band

So if you use another choice band it's a 125% damage boost

[viscid adder]

gorilla tactics is an ability that I would totally see slaking have

[quartz locust]

It's not a gorilla though

[odd cave]

Grimmsnarl, toxtricity, corviknight???

[quartz locust]

Grimmsnarl is goated

[viscid adder]

I freaking love toxtricity

but I totally miss wooloo and dubwool

[odd cave]

[fickle birch]

I don't know, chief. Appletun and Frosmoth are in. 😛

[viscid adder]

ALRIGHT PEOPLE

LAST HISUIAN GUY WILL ARRIVE IN 4 DAYS
DO NOT BRING GRASS TYPES. HE WILL HAVE MEGAHORN

[pseudo prism]

Looks like another job for annihlape solo run

[viscid adder]

ceaseless edge

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ceaseless_Edge_(move)

every hisuian dude will bring their signature move with them

your annihilape will get annihilated

and it will be in more pain, possibly

considering that all the raid bros have their hidden abilities, you might as well prepare for total annihilation

It's better to bring a fairy type than bringing your annihilape

[pseudo prism]

Didn't know that move was a thing thanks for the heads up

I've got over a dozen raidmons so I'm not worried

[forest summit]

I'm not including forms or regional variants

saldy ID will only include 3 more Gen 8 mon

Milcery line and Duraludon

[viscid adder]

duraludon's evo was an unexpected surprise

[forest summit]

it makes Raihan seem like a chump

[viscid adder]

I think this dude's whole evo/form theme is buildings/construction

he's like half a bridge

while archaludon

is a full bridge

.....

hm

I wonder if duraludon was originally a unovean pokemon

and then they spread to galar

[forest summit]

it would explain the bridges in Unova

[viscid adder]

really makes you think if the pokemon introduced in their respective regions originally came from said regions

yungoos didn't originally come from alola

[forest summit]

Yungoos came from Paldea I'm guessing

[viscid adder]

corphish didn't originally come from hoenn

[forest summit]

don't be silly, India doesn't exist
