[viscid adder]

yet

[forest summit]

maybe never

[viscid adder]

I mean, that's probably where the cufant family lives too

[forest summit]

also in the Paldea dex, I don't think it calls Yungoos an invasive species

[forest summit]

that's Alola dex

[quartz locust]

Archaludon is such a nice improvement

[forest summit]

mentions nothing about being invasive

[viscid adder]

alola dex is still part of the lore

paldea dex doesn't know much about yungoos as alola does

[nova zephyr]

Part of the lore, about alola

Paldea says nothing about it being an imported species to paldea, so it’s likely native to paldea

[forest summit]

exactly

[nova zephyr]

Kubfu is the same way, claiming to come from a far off region that isn’t galar, but having no confirmed region to have really come from

The second it returns in another region without saying it’s been imported from another region, that becomes it’s assumed home region

[forest summit]

it's never getting in another dex though, let's face it

[viscid adder]

you never know!

stranger things have happened

also joltik is in the dex now so get ready for the worst shiny hunting experience in your life

four inches

[nova zephyr]

But tynamo is already here

[viscid adder]

tynamo is 0'08"

[nova zephyr]

Tiny, barely changes, underwater

[viscid adder]

try finding a scuttling little lime green buddy that hangs out in caves and jumps around

[nova zephyr]

It’s at least not a water hunt

[viscid adder]

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

fast little mother honkers

[forest summit]

I freaking hate the Home artwork

Joltik is a bouncy baby boy!

[viscid adder]

yes he is

and he is a very tiny boy

scarlet and violet makes all the tiny boys tiny

[forest summit]

you know what else is a cut bug, but huge? Slither Wing!

[viscid adder]

hell yeah slither wing

[forest summit]

I don't get the FIghting Typing though

[viscid adder]

the moth that punches

[forest summit]

the future version also has a generic type

[neon tide]

Bug fluffy

[forest summit]

Cuddle Moth

[viscid adder]

ok I can at least explain the fire/poison

it might be based on nuclear energy

[neon tide]

Friend shaped

[forest summit]

it feels like Slither Wing's type was filler

[viscid adder]

while the fighting/bug shows how tough and resilient slither wing is.
They're a moth dino

[forest summit]

I mean Bug/Dragon would have been better

[viscid adder]

not when you have the genes of a moth and a MOTHER HONKIN STEGOSAURUS

Hi, my name is BEEF

plus, watching a bug kick your ass will never not get old

[forest summit]

that is innacurate! Stegosaurus' held their tails much higher and were way bulkier

[viscid adder]

yeah...
never trust artwork

trust the fossil

that tail can slap a mother fudger

So my guess is that it uses that tail as a way to compensate for those

baby feets

look at that tail! It's huge!

[forest summit]

it's funny that it stands up TBH, since the official artwork makes it look more like a middle stage between Larvesta and Volcarona

with a tail

[viscid adder]

you gotta look big to scare your opponents

hence why the wings are display wings

god I love speculating paradox pokemon functions

[forest summit]

the head of the shiny form reminds me of Solgaleo!

the head looks a lot like that line

[viscid adder]

considering that slither wing's base is volcarona, it's quite understandable that it would also have some aspects of other sun bois

[viscid adder]

perhaps the machine generated slither wing based on volcarona's ancient lore of being some kind of sun deity

[forest summit]

the fact that ancient people thought it looked like the sun makes sense when you look at the shiny head, since it does resemble the Cosmog line

[viscid adder]

the machine that creates the paradox pokemon always make them more threatening

take magneton

and sandy shocks

the machine created a magneton that is more primative in nature rather than design

[forest summit]

if MagneTON is bad, how bad is Magnezone?

[viscid adder]

if the machine ever created a paradox magnezone, it would be more "ancient aliens" based

[forest summit]

also Sandy Shocks reminds me of the back of this one cut Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Green. The line ALWAYS looked like a Magnemite alt to me too

[viscid adder]

Behold! Towering Magnet

I based the overall design on mechas and those war of the worlds machine thingies

It can extend its arms with the screws that are hidden in the bigger magne.

I still want to keep the "this pokemon shouldn't exist" vibes that all the paradoxes have

[forest summit]

what's even sadder is they can't breed, so they're just going to go extinct

[viscid adder]

Hence, why they are paradoxes

they aren't supposed to exist, yet here they are

they are nothing but creations from a machine run by wish making gems

Paradox Pokemon just exist without logic or reason. Moth that punches? sure why not. A jigglypuff that can bend people's minds at will? sure thing! a salamance that never has to mega evolve because its always mega? overpowered but sure!

who cares if they can't breed?

who cares if one of them is a nuclear bomb that can detonate at any moment? who cares that their existance goes against history itself?

who cares that their condition would kill a regular version of that same pokemon?

[forest summit]

I care that they can't breed because it means no matter how much you wish, they will go extinct

[viscid adder]

ah, but that's the thing

you don't need to worry about extinction

because you can always create more!

...said the professor

...man, when you really think about it, the paradox pokemon are pretty hecking dark

[forest summit]

except you can't once you die and since different people want different things, it means they all stop existing once you do

[viscid adder]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-ian-malcolm-jeff-goldblum-should-could-gif-16617300

[forest summit]

it's why I hate the whole "shouldn't have existed" because it destroys all historic intrigue and instead replaces with with bs "oh no, they're all fake and the only old Pokémon are legendaries/mythicals and fossils".

at least dinosaurs were real

[viscid adder]

there are old pokemon out there

the paradox pokemon aren't that

[forest summit]

but they SHOULD be that

[viscid adder]

and that's what makes the paradox concept so tantilizing

[forest summit]

I like seeing a super old AF Donphan, not some fake BS that some kid dreamed up

[viscid adder]

replace kid with professor

....also, who knows? it's only imagination.
a prehistoric donphan might be out there

[forest summit]

I'm just saying, I find the whole imagination thing MORE limiting than if they were actually ancient/future Pokémon

[viscid adder]

it might not look like great tusk, but it does exist

hell, there are still some prehistoric pokemon out there!

the dreepy line, for example

they could be considered a classic fossil pokemon
BUT THEY LIVED AS GHOSTS

[viscid adder]

I say the contrary.
the imagination thing breaks the limits on what you can do with such a thing

you can make a magneton prehistoric, a klink prehistoric, etc etc.

[forest summit]

it goes from "oh hey, these are cool AF ancient mon from the distant past/future! How did they even get here?!" to "These Pokémon are super fake and I made them up"
Unless they go for the Mewtwo angle, it's just not as interesting

[viscid adder]

there's kind of a mewtwo angle to it

I mean, the raidons and the paradoxes are creations of the professor

[forest summit]

making them fake all along also destroys all stakes and all mysteries surrounding the paradox mon

and replaces it with "some dead prof made them"

[viscid adder]

well, i wouldn't say they are imaginary

the machine that the professor made with the tera crystals is real

but its not a true time machine

maybe it is, maybe it isn't

all I know is that the machine was created because the professor wanted to explore the past/future

and it created a reality where that is possible

[forest summit]

at least Mewtwo had a Movie and a Special (I don't count the Genesect one as canon)
The paradox mon just exist for the sake of it and they seem to be nothing more than set pieces

[viscid adder]

well they are only regular paradox pokemon

we haven't met the legendary paradox pokemon yet

those guys can fuse

[forest summit]

what does that even mean?

[viscid adder]

uh... have you forgotten?

we have only been introduced to four of them.

the last two pieces have yet to be found

[forest summit]

that isn't a fusion, it's just a weird interpretation of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves

[viscid adder]

....no it isn't.

[forest summit]

it is

they obviously couldn't show the actual thing before the update or DLC came out

[viscid adder]

then why does iron crown exist?

they have only showed us a hint at the result

the dlc is giving us the pieces

[forest summit]

maybe the artist saw all 3 of them at different points and mixed them up

[viscid adder]

oh they are all mixed up alright.

but not in the way you think

the point is, there is a fourth piece missing in all of this

[forest summit]

isn't that the Treasures of Ruins thing?

it's the symbols overlapping

[viscid adder]

we know that three legendary paradoxes can fuse.
we know where its gonna happen.
we know what's the result.
now we need to know the how

[viscid adder]

nope

this is a circle found in area zero

also, the ruinous four are a completely different beast

they are four treasures from a different region that got locked away in four different locations in paldea

[viscid adder]

and even if it is, its completely inaccurate to even the base design philosophy of paradoxes

prehistorics are more bestial, but still look like the pokemon while the futuristics are just the base pokemon but robot

...with the exception of iron valiant

iron valiant is proof that the fusion aspect is a real phenomenon in paradox world

[forest summit]

those 4 circles are where you find Roaring Moon and Iron Valliant

[viscid adder]

Thus, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant are potentially fusions/megafiers

[forest summit]

I really doubt anything will fuse in the DLC

[viscid adder]

A pokemon can step onto the circle and the tera energy could mutate them further into a mega/dyna/tera form

[viscid adder]

sorry bud, but the stars are alligning at that possibility

...wait

I just thought of something

[forest summit]

nothing has been leaked indicating it

[viscid adder]

dude we are at the period where the plot/pokemon have yet to be leaked and its nothing but he said/she said

it's all about waiting

anyway

what if a regular pokemon gets into the circle?

what if they have the opportunity to become mega, permanently?

but with some sort of caviat/trade-off

just a thought

[forest summit]

aren't some Pokemon in pain when they Mega Evolve?

[viscid adder]

NOT WITH THE POWER OF

TERA CRYSTALS

With tera crystals, you can create mega evolved pokemon that aren't in pain!

You can create gigantamax pokemon without having to worry about the pesky size issue!

YOU CAN SUMMON ARCEUS

YOU CAN RAISE THE DEAD

YOU

ARE

NOW

GOD

...

...and you said paradox pokemon aren't interesting

because it isn't just paradox pokemon

there are so many more factors

[nova zephyr]

Interesting headcannon

[viscid adder]

thank you!

[fickle birch]

We do? 😮

[odd tapir]

Unless there's some new datamine I don't know about, there's never been anything said about fusing them. In-game they were purely theoretical.

[viscid adder]

dude my nostradamus powers predicted that the professor was responsible for the box legendaries.

I am never wrong

Except when I am, which is super rare.

Let's just say that I'm good with patterns.

I mean, we see the imagined pokemon and we have been given one of the components.

Just because there hasn't been anything said about fusion, doesn't mean that its not gonna happen

[viscid adder]

not yet. I'm just speculating

[odd tapir]

And just because it seems likely, doesn't mean it will.

[viscid adder]

The signs are pointing to that possibility

[spare roost]

when you first open the paradox book it showed the speculated beasts of Area Zero, and then it was a beast that was a fusion of the past forms of 3 legendary dogs

interestingly enough, the head and mane goes to Walking Wake.
The jaw and front legs go to Raging Bolt
Which leaves the back spikes and back legs going to Paradox Entei

[wraith axle]

the head looks like entei's with suicune's horn thing to me 🤔

[wispy kernel]

THEYRE NOT DOGS

[wraith axle]

they're beasts

[wispy kernel]

yes

also cats

but yeah theyre beasts

[viscid adder]

one theory is that they're all a past flareon jolteon and vaporeon

[nova zephyr]

That one scene from the anime shows their silhouettes as more like 3 houndour

Not trying to disprove the theory or anything, I just think it’s an interesting detail to add

[lethal orchid]

TRIPPLE FUSION

[viscid adder]

honestly its fun to speculate which pokemon the three came from

[nova zephyr]

They really could have been anything that wasn’t already dead. The only solid fact we have to go off of is that they were revived with superpowers representing the tower’s burning

And I kind of like it that way

[viscid adder]

they could be a bunch of grimers

or a couple of furrets

[tawdry flame]

I found a shiny weepinbell and man, it was so hard to tell that it was shiny until I used the let's go feature

[odd apex]

omni type

[odd tapir]

so this thing is scary

[fallen stratus]

John Iron Hands ain't afraid of no bulldoze

[odd tapir]

even ignoring typing, all its main moves boosted with swords dance and sharpness ability are hard to get past

[viscid adder]

oh shit it's live
ok ok ok lemme backtrack and check on my notes

thanks for posting this

...

ok yeah

my predictions are pretty accurate

do not bring grass types.

bring fairy types that know grass type moves or bring an electric type

unless you have a strong defense, your ass is probably gonna get wrecked.

my recommendations?
bellibolt, for Electromorphosis
miraidon, because electric surge and electro drift is your best friend
or any other electric type/fairy type that can kick all kinds of ass
(I'm open to hear any other recommendation.)

also:
DO NOT BRING ANNIHILAPE. DO NOT BRING A GRASS TYPE.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BRINGING IRON LEAVES.
YOU WILL GET NUKED.

If someone is bringing ogerpon, then prepare to protect it with your life.

WAIT

SHIT

FORGET BRINGING ELECTRIC TYPES

HE HAS BULLDOZE

JUST BRING A FAIRY TYPE THAT KNOWS GRASS/ELECTRIC MOVES

DON'T BRING ELECTRIC TYPES (except electric/flying. you are fine.)

[viscid adder]

DON'T THINK THAT

YOUR ASS WILL BECOME GRASS

TRUST ME

[viscid adder]

By a sheer miracle, I managed to kick that samurott's ass with two electric types in the raid squad

I used an urshifu with thunder punch.

[ember burrow]

Hmm...only thing I can think of trying is my Azumarill cause I don't think I got anything else but idk.

[viscid adder]

dude that option sounds like the best thing ever

also, please remember to support your allies

chant.

those chants are a godsend

[ember burrow]

Oh yeah totally. I sadly don't see enough people chanting online.

Also I'm hoping that works cause I'm out of certain berries.

[viscid adder]

cheering helps everyone and I seriously can't believe no one is using them

oh, and the heal up cheer cures status ailments

[ember burrow]

Yep.

[viscid adder]

seriously. it's so underrated.

[ember burrow]

Indeed.

[odd tapir]

i try to chant, but it's usually just for healing. which is annoying cuz there's no way to tell how much you're actually gonna heal.

[pseudo prism]

I plan on soloing it later with victreebel and thats all there is to it

[viscid adder]

then prepare to withstand a lot of x-scissors

[pseudo prism]

not a problem at all

surprisingly easy

[quartz locust]

Iron mugulis

[pseudo prism]

much harder to win with victreebel with random players but really easy solo

[odd tapir]

Already wasted stat boosts and candies on a failed attempt with vikavolt but I guess I can do victreebell instead.

turns out glass cannons are fragile

[viscid adder]

Jugulis

but still, good strat

neutral to bug and fighting types

another pokemon that I think can work is the classic
CORVIKNIGHT

resists bug. neutral to fighting.

[pseudo prism]

How did it go? I used a mirror herb to get strength sipper and worry seed

[quartz locust]

I said mugulis on purpose

[karmic escarp]

Mugulis*

[odd tapir]

got samurott with a good rando team of victreebell, miraidon, bellibolt, and my own galarian weezing. couldn't really solo it, but decent enough support with neutrallizing gas and wil-o-wisp, and decent damage with thunderbolts boosted by miraidon who got off a hadron engine between weezing's ability being canceled.

[pseudo prism]

Nice one my man

[odd tapir]

really good defensively tbh. also was able to give Guffawg some use after not really being able to in shield.

btw, the tera hat goes on the shorter smoke-stack

[pseudo prism]

Unless you're building for the OHKO, I find defensive pokemon to be much more reliable

Unless it's pre planned going in, I really doubt the flow chart is gonna work

[viscid adder]

https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/pokemon-company-game-releases-takato-utsunomiya-interview/

rejoice, for the pokemon company might be slowing things down a bit!

[odd tapir]

while i'm all for them taking longer for a better product, i do hope we get a new Legends game to end off that pattern cuz that'll keep me going a lot longer between games than S/V would.

[lyric crystal]

As long as we don't get more Let's Go, or the BDSP disaster

[keen mirage]

Give me legends game based on Unova

[viscid adder]

let's go > bdsp.

...though the only good thing about bdsp is the modability.

yisuno is doing wonders to that game.

[odd cave]

Bro disassembled like dry bones 💀

[viscid adder]

they're doing a nat dex mod/rom hack for bdsp

They go by TheYisusOne on Twitter

https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1713191718886031360/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/Vs-iTWKyAp0m7SfM.mp4?tag=12

so if you want more goodies like high quality ultra necrozma fainting, you know where to look!

oh, and do check out their kirby mod!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_GcBg84DW0&t=1s

[odd tapir]

Let's Go was honestly really good. annoying motion controls aside, there were loads of references everywhere that were fun to find.

[odd cave]

I love how mods can turn the worst pokemon game into the best one

[odd tapir]

they even had Oak's sketchbook from Pokemon 4Ever up on the shelves and a reference to the "mew under the truck"

[fallen stratus]

[viscid adder]

ah so that's the origin of regitube!

Ok I totally need to make my take on that.

[odd tapir]

would make a good regigigas/drifblim joke sprite

[pseudo prism]

that's a good idea actually

[viscid adder]

seconded.

[odd tapir]

Though idk if there's something better suited, that's just the first thing that comes to mind

[viscid adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxkyVXmn7U

[karmic ember]

can someone help me with 3 trade evos ?

[neon tide]

Yes

[dusky drum]

I saw this and immediately regret having a newer switch that I cannot mod

Yuzu plz

[green turret]

anybody have meloetta? I need a quick trade and trade back so I can bring in one from go

[odd tapir]

That restriction is so stupid

[viscid adder]

yeah!

imo i think you should have unlocked access to all the pokemon transfered in pokemon home when you finish the main game

[odd tapir]

I had to go through a lot of trouble to get certain mythicals registered to Home because of that. I did eventually but still

[viscid adder]

dude I had to use trade videos just to get the mythics I wanted

[odd tapir]

Love my OG color magearna though. So pretty with SV models and lighting.

[viscid adder]

and even then I had to ask someone to get a mythic 'mon that wasn't shiny

I don't want to go and play link trade roulette with a guy named "ShinyDen" all the time

[odd tapir]

I actually have a fair bit of fun trading up legendaries in Home. Just need an extra bird from Let's Go and you can trade up to anything else eventually. Except mythicals because reasons.

[viscid adder]

yeah f--k that

not everyone had pokemon bank

[odd tapir]

I did that to register legendaries in X before the US had bank. Couldn't do that now for obvious reasons.

Lost my X to corruption from my own poor hindsight, the only thing making it off being my Sableye Amethirst. I still have my corrupted save it hopes of one day getting it fixed, though I know how incredibly unlikely that is.

[viscid adder]

this sucks balls

[odd tapir]

Sucks a lot more knowing it was my own fault and easily preventable, but I'm glad I at least have that one pokemon as a keepsake from it.

[viscid adder]

i guess every dark cloud has a silver lining

[calm dagger]

Hey does anybody perhaps have an ability patch they will never use that they'd be willing to trade. i started playing recently and finished story and am trying to get a sylveon set up for tournament farm so i can make my other mons full ev and iv's. would be greatly appreciated.

[odd tapir]

It'll be a while before I'm home, but work on unlocking 6 star raids. You can get them fairly regularly for clearing them. I'm sitting on like 20

Also the event 7 star raids

[calm dagger]

yea im trying to get a money farm going so i can make a miraidon to solo the 7star samurott thats supposed to come back

but ive been doing 5 stars to unlock 6 stars

already did the tournament once

[viscid adder]

again, like I said, you can also do quick trades for the opportunity to get botted shiny starters.

usually they have ability patches and master balls

[calm dagger]

yea i just got one from a random trade

ty for the help

[viscid adder]

no prob bob

[odd tapir]

I'm so reluctant to use candies to get stuff to max level. Getting a pokemon to lv100 used to mean something

[pseudo prism]

I was like that at first but whipping up a fresh raidmon on something I think might be good is p fun

Peeped my kyogre from home and was like oh yeah I'm giving this bad boy water spout and shell bell for sure

[calm dagger]

what do u guys think the best water pokemon is to train up for raids

i was thinking walking wake

but idk

[odd cave]

Slowbro or vaporeon are pretty good

Also kyogre if you have one

[pseudo prism]

Azumarill and slowbro are both really good

You can catch a fairy tera azumarill at that lake to the north too which already helps a step in the right direction

[calm dagger]

are berries the only way to lower EV's and can you buy them? Also by how much do they lower a EV by

[viscid adder]

if you have the dlc, you can reset all your evs by using the Fresh-Start Mochi

[calm dagger]

in teal mask?

[viscid adder]

yep

[calm dagger]

was planning on playing thru it tonight

[viscid adder]

you can obtain mochi by playing ogre oustin'

[calm dagger]

is it a fairly easy thing to get?

[viscid adder]

surprisingly, yes! it's super easy to get mochi this way.

[calm dagger]

so it fully resets a EV you select? or it does them all at the same time

[viscid adder]

all of them

now, if you are planning to get the fairy feather from there... well....
let's just say that:

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-youregonnahaveabadtime-gif-25708112

[calm dagger]

wait why lol

[viscid adder]

the difficulty jump from easy to normal is STAGGERING.

and so is the jump from normal to hard

[calm dagger]

what diff do the mochi drop most consistent on

[calm dagger]

aoh ok

weird cuz i googled EV lowering earlier

but i only get 1 year old vids on berries

[viscid adder]

berries do work too

[calm dagger]

yea but theyre sparkle pick ups only no?

theres no shop for them

cuz theyre just like the ev increase items but u cant buy

[viscid adder]

they are not just floor collectables!

[calm dagger]

ill just rely on mochi probably

[calm dagger]

wanna build a team for new dlc since it apparently has some challenge to it

and 2v2 battles

which is cool

[viscid adder]

i didn't really need to adjust my team that much

[calm dagger]

for indigo disk?

[viscid adder]

OH I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TEAL MASK

my bad

[calm dagger]

NO HAHAHAHAHA

[viscid adder]

idk what i'm gonna do for indigo disk

i'm probably just gonna have to use guides to build my teams and go from there

[calm dagger]

why did they remove gengars levitate :c

just wanna use him 2v2 with garchomp or krookodile

[viscid adder]

you have a point. levitate helped gengar with their obvious ground type weakness.
But cursed body works too i guess. shrugs

[calm dagger]

gonna give him air balloon and when he gets hit just force reset the game

good strat

[viscid adder]

you can also study the pokemon's learnable moves.

So, you are creating an air balloon gengar

[calm dagger]

just gonna do the funny armarouge indeedee combo

[viscid adder]

\

[calm dagger]

wait i set up magic room then swap in gengar and EQ spam on garchomp

[viscid adder]

well since your pokemon is trying to avoid the ground at all costs, my suggestion is that you make speed your priority

[calm dagger]

🧠

[viscid adder]

Great idea!

[calm dagger]

or i could just use a flying type

[pseudo prism]

Is the dlc actually going to have enough difficulty that you need to do team building for it or are you just an earthquake enjoyer

If so why not double down and use gliscor

[viscid adder]

judging from the serebii preview, there's gonna be a serious difficulty spike

[calm dagger]

i mean all the people that playtested it have said that they had like teams that were higher lvl than like the stronger trainers and they were still getting one shot

[viscid adder]

so team building is a must

[pseudo prism]

Is this a Cynthia situation with the pokemon having perfect ivs then?

[calm dagger]

like one trainer apparently has a rabsca with telepathy and a spread spammer sent in at the same time

[viscid adder]

how about triple down and make your gliscor:

• hold a toxic orb
• make it have poison heal as its ability
• and tera it to have a type that isn't steel, ground, or poison

[pseudo prism]

Yeah that's what I was talking about when I mentioned gliscoe

I used one as my ace when I did gen 4 gym leader battles

Very very strong pokemon, I'm not surprised it got voted into ubers recently

[viscid adder]

it is quite the broken strat

[pseudo prism]

Its got the definitive move set but you can swap stuff out for story instead of running the build

[calm dagger]

need to get a gliscor then

[pseudo prism]

I'll trade you one later if you want mate

[viscid adder]

also: teach your starter guys some pledges

[calm dagger]

im using iron bundle iron hands garchomp skeledirge meowscarada and grimmsnarl

[viscid adder]

grass, fire, and water pledge are freakin' godsends.

[calm dagger]

what are pledges

[pseudo prism]

I got my shiny one from heart gold so don't the one I peeped from a raid

[viscid adder]

fire + water increases crit ratio
grass + fire hurts your opponents
and grass + water slows enemies

[pseudo prism]

They're combo moves for multi battles

[calm dagger]

i like how i have 2 violet mons in my team but im playing scarlet

those sound interesting

[viscid adder]

i used my pledges in gen 8 and they kick all sorts of ass

[karmic escarp]

wasn't fire + water the serene grace effect?

[viscid adder]

...which means I might have to teach all my starter bros a pledge and adjust their moves accordingly

[calm dagger]

that'd be great

[viscid adder]

OH SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT

god I'm a dumbass

[pseudo prism]

They last a few turns too which is neat

[viscid adder]

hm

[pseudo prism]

Originally I thought when it said lowers speed it was just like icy wind but its a lasting effect

[viscid adder]

I'm thinking of equipping my unrivaled inteleon a kings rock

plus fire + water pledge

plus sniper

[pseudo prism]

@calm dagger you should do torterra and charizard so you can still spam earthquakes

[viscid adder]

or I can just pull the card I always play in balanced hackmons and go "oops all imposters"

which means I'm gonna be training six dittos if i stick with this idea

[calm dagger]

im not the biggest fan of torterra or almost any grass starter that isnt meowscarada or decidueye but i did get a shiny torterra from one of those website traders so might be a good idea

lol

[viscid adder]

rillaboom is one my favorite duders battlewise

i mean, grassy surge plus grassy glide?

that's a recipe for success right there

[calm dagger]

oh yeah rillaboom

he is also cool

[viscid adder]

i like the drakloak one because it makes the dreepy a birthday boy

does the mesuda method work if im eu english and i got an eu spain ditto

its just the language right?

[calm dagger]

lets goooo

shiny charcadet in like 30 ish eggs

[nova zephyr]

Same

At least Pokémon go will eventually release shiny roaming, though I want both shiny forms

[pseudo prism]

@calm dagger sorry mate I totally forgot do you still want that gliscor

[calm dagger]

sure why not

@pseudo prism

[pseudo prism]

awesome let me boot up the game

code is 2335

@calm dagger are you BP?

[calm dagger]

yea

[pseudo prism]

nice

[calm dagger]

ty man

[pseudo prism]

no worries king but you got some spots missing in your pokedex, get that bad boy filled

[calm dagger]

trying

[pseudo prism]

I'm a believer

[grave stag]

Is this normal? This slaking is a normal dragon type which is definitely abnormal should I never use this for any online battling or the like?

[viscid adder]

its perfectly normal.

plus...

you can teach it outrage.

just bring a weezing with neutralizing gas and let the party begin!

[fallen stratus]

thats its tera type

tera type can be anything

[odd cave]

Oh yeah, slaking’s type was changed because it was so bad it needed a buff

It’s still bad tho

[viscid adder]

that ice and fairy weakness was a pretty bad boost /j

[karmic escarp]

||Except if your name is ogerpon ||

[eager crescent]

When the next dlc gonna come?

Any leaks

[odd tapir]

if by leaks you mean official announcement. it's out on the 14th of december.

[nova zephyr]

Difficult hunt but I toughed out enough blizzards to get the full family

[forest summit]

stage 1 looks like an icy Treecko

I can never unsee it

[gritty fjord]

Anyone have a shiny Mew I’ll trade you a shiny mewtwo

[nova zephyr]

I wouldn’t trade my shiny mew for anything

[pseudo prism]

Based

Me neither king

[neon tide]

Kinda sad i missed the research

[dusky drum]

I feel like a shiny mythical for a legendary you can easily shiny hunt is not the law of equivalent exchange

[calm dagger]

where does the samurott raid appear?

nvm found it im dumb

ive just missed 8 metal sounds in a row

wtf

[nova zephyr]

Did it have its Tera shield up?

You can’t land status moves ona Pokemon when the shield is up

[calm dagger]

yea im an idiot

[nova zephyr]

However,

You can apply status affects through direct attacks

For instance, nuzzle can paralyze through the shield

[pseudo prism]

You can solo it with my victreebel build too if you struggle

went full spreadsheet number mode and gave the evs just enough to go over the raid mon

[calm dagger]

ive been soloing with miraidon

[pseudo prism]

you are a legend

I'm re-watching the masters eight tourney right now and loving it

[viscid adder]

don't forget cheers!

they are an underutilized feature that have saved my ass a couple times.

[nova zephyr]

Yeah I utilize those

[viscid adder]

I beat the samurott with an urshifu that knew thunder punch and two other electric types backing me up

[pseudo prism]

Heal cheer is deceptively overpowered, it's a priority cheer which not only heals but cures status effects

I'm not sure how much priority it is but it's definitely +

[nova zephyr]

Usually when I’m in a raid with other iron hands and no miraidon I play support with electric terrain and cheers

So that I don’t belly drum just for another hands to do the damage nuke but not kill and immediately reset the stat buffs

We're garback

Also dirge stay winning

[odd cave]

I find it funny that ninetales is NU while its preevo is NUBL even tho it might last a brief moment

[forest summit]

My take on rankings:
BL = Boarder Line (like a boarder between tiers)
OU = Over Used
UU = Under Used
RU = Rarely Used
NU = (Nearly) Never Used
PU = Partial Usage
ZU = Zero Usage

[fallen stratus]

I thought BL meant Banlist

And PU doesn't mean anything

It just means "Pee yew"

Like stinky

[little whale]

I thought PU was a Pee you stinky joke

[viscid adder]

Good Ol' PU

[civic ember]

Weird how it goes from Over Used to Under Used, like no 'used the correct amount'.

[quartz locust]

Power creep is crazy

[pseudo prism]

Actually unable to type what BL means, seems to set off some automatic trigger on discord

[dusky drum]

Well that’s subjective I think

[nova zephyr]

Dang, I was hoping I could meme on him being UU indefinitely

[calm dagger]

a full odds shiny forretress was just stuck to the side of a tree

[tired torrent]

Yeah that's how they spawn it's cool

[minor coral]

I was able to find a shiny Litwick in Violet

[compact hare]

Rip eel

[forest summit]

I know, but I prefer Boarder Line since it sounds nicer

[calm dagger]

im trying to make a team for the new dlc and idk where to go from where im at.

currently i got rayquaza tornadus lead for tailwind eq e speed

and i was thinking iron bundle meowscarada

[tired torrent]

Volcarona Oricorio

[pseudo prism]

What about your gliscor bro

[calm dagger]

the gliscor was the play

then i saw a rayquaza trade on the GTS

and i love ray

[calm dagger]

oricorio makes it 3 flying types tho

my blue boy is sufferin'

[tired drum]

I have a shiny goodra

[unique anvil]

I got one but thanks

[tired drum]

ok cool

[fickle birch]

The DLC looms. 🙂

[nova zephyr]

I was hoping to get all 3 shiny paldean middle stages before the dlc, but Quaxwell is taking longer than anticipated

[viscid adder]

9 days....

[quiet frost]

I’m posting in here even though I have never played SV and have no intention to play it.

SwSh is probably one of my favorites

[odd tapir]

Enjoyed the story but other games have had a much better world. No level scaling was a huge hit

[viscid adder]

I will say, having the ability for pokemon to relearn moves without currency is pretty cool

plus, they don't need to relearn a move via TM!

once they learn it via tm, they have it forever

or at least in their movepool

plus you don't have to go to a guy for nicknames and movework

[odd tapir]

they also at some point fixed not being able to relearn moves from previous stages.i had accidentally deleted yawn on my skeledirge and was annoyed i couldn't get it back cuz it was only a move for crocalor

[viscid adder]

huh

didn't know that

[verbal dagger]

Anyone got teams prepped for the DLC?

[odd tapir]

no but apparently it's out tomorrow and not next week??

[fickle birch]

That's not true. 😅

[odd tapir]

Serebii is saying tomorrow

They could be wrong be we'll see I guess

[fickle birch]

Apparently we're getting info about it tomorrow, not the whole thing. 😮

Though I guess they could drop it right after the info, but that feels strange. 😅

[viscid adder]

the next trailer. not the dlc

[odd tapir]

Ah I appear to be blind

[verbal dagger]

Apparently the battles are gonna be more difficult

[nova zephyr]

But are they give-trouble-to-a-team-of-level-100s difficult?

[viscid adder]

let me answer your question with a question
have you ever fought a competitive team in pokemon showdown before?

[nova zephyr]

No I have not

[viscid adder]

how bout the battle train

[nova zephyr]

I’ve thought about it and know about competitive battles, but I’ve never been able to make a good team

Best I’ve done is the swsh battle tower

To get the tower master ribbon on my shiny mew

[pseudo prism]

Based shiny mew enjoyer

As someone who has actually done competitive battling I was tricked by people telling me the dlc was hard

I played the last one and it was a total waste of time

[verbal dagger]

According to previews teams are like level 80-90 with legit strats. Apparently all doubles too

Probs not too troubling for someone w game knowledge but worth prepping for. I'm bringing a comp team just cuz

[warm carbon]

My college’s game club is having a Pokémon event in the future where about 8 of us are being gym leaders. I volunteered to be one but I don’t know where to test it out since I don’t want to waste time in game putting something together that may not work. I thought about showdown but I’ve never used it and unsure if it’s a good place to test it on

Any suggestions where to try it out or just try my luck with showdown?

[verbal dagger]

Showdown probs

[warm carbon]

I know showdown has tiers but I never really used it. For the event it’s vgc rules btw.

[verbal dagger]

Showdown also has that I think

[warm carbon]

Thanks. I’ll give it a try and if I’m having trouble I’ll ask about it

[viscid adder]

ok people
I need some assistance

got any good competitive movesets for my samba duck boy?

because I'm new to this competitive stuff and i'm a bit overwhelmed

[verbal dagger]

Singles or doubles?

Those look like smogon singles sets

[viscid adder]

i would like both

especially with doubles, since that's probably the majority of the battles I'm gonna have to face

[karmic escarp]

Prepering for DLC I see

[verbal dagger]

I'd say the SD set could work well, alolan ninetales might be a good partner

https://www.pikalytics.com/

Good place for doubles resources

[viscid adder]

i'm gonna have to invest in some pledges

[quartz locust]

Gym leaders have only one type so just be versatile

With your pokemon

[warm carbon]

Oh yeah definitely doing that. We also get one Pokémon that isn’t our type as long as it can Tera into it like how the gym leaders in scarlet violet had which allows me a lot of options

[quartz locust]

What type are you going?

[warm carbon]

Ice. I know it sucks but it’s my favorite type and the event is for fun so I thought why not

[quartz locust]

Electric is a good option if you like offense

[nova zephyr]

Paldea did help fix up ice a bit

[warm carbon]

Made a team on showdown and I’ve made several people rage quit with my ice team

[quartz locust]

Damn, they must've been terrible

[nova zephyr]

One time I made a mono ice type team in Pokemon go with the goal of being so terrible it was near impossible to win with

I won the 2nd match I played with that team

It was vanillish, jynx, and alolan sandslash

[quartz locust]

NU?

[nova zephyr]

Great league

[fickle birch]

The teams are supposed to be in the high 80s and 90s. 🙂

[supple fern]

Thoughts on the new trailer?

||I’m shocked they didn’t reveal the rest of the paradox trios. Are they actually learning to keep certain Pokémon hidden?||

[patent patrol]

https://youtu.be/9K21r9LPrVk?si=TAOv03vyHFKl2zRU

||kieran looks way different||

[vestal granite]

||RAY RAY IN THE WILD????||

[quiet frost]

you should have a tera type that covers any weaknesses

[quiet frost]

what game is it

just assemble your team and play against some gym leaders in that game

[viscid adder]

BABYMANS

[warm carbon]

Scarlet Violet that’s why I asked on this channel. I already tested out my team on showdown and it performed surprisingly well so now comes the part of getting it together in game

I even got complimented on it by a few people

[wispy kernel]

I bet it took a lot of restraint for Pokemon to not spoil every single new pokemon before release

[nova zephyr]

Got the new mystery gifts available

[odd tapir]

I never know what to do with so many legendaries between generations.

[quiet frost]

play a tournament with the paldean stuff

and test yer team out

[calm dagger]

wait so in the trailer they showed footage of the flying minigame and then near the end there was footage of the player flying without on the main island without the minigame? are we getting full on flying with the box arts?

[viscid adder]

seems like it!

[nova zephyr]

Yeah they explained that a while ago

[severe pier]

||Roaming Legendaries are gonna be in the DLC ||

[odd tapir]

Now if we can just get shiny effect and sound outside of battle again.

[severe pier]

||EEEEMMMMOOOOOO||

The art

And we only have 7 days until the DLC

[nova zephyr]

We only need the sound and indication on zoom in, the visual takes it a little too far

[severe pier]

|| it also looks like we're gonna be able to controll our pokemon, maybe just Pikachu and the pikaclone and some mini game, but omg I'm gonna love that feature, and who know maybe that could be teasing or prepping us for a new Pokepark game, a girl can only dream l||

[nova zephyr]

||I wanna run around as walking wake||

[viscid adder]

||# EVERYONE IS HERE!*||

[viscid adder]

||or maybe it takes place in ultra space!||

[severe pier]

||That would probably fit a Legends Alola imo||

[quartz locust]

He looks terrible

Like it's ugly imo

[severe pier]

Also Drayden's Grandson is gonna make so many eggs crack, don't be surprised if you start seeing He/Theys using this mf as their pfp, I'm calling it right here right now

[wispy kernel]

His colors are literally white purple black and yellow

thats the non binary colors

[verbal dagger]

Theys nonbiney

[wispy kernel]

I agree with Chimbles thats a He/They lookin mf

[verbal dagger]

||there have been rumors of Paradox Unova||

[viscid adder]

let's test this babey out

[wispy kernel]

and explain to me what the fuck that means

and how would it be paradoxical

[verbal dagger]

Haha fair enough. There are theories and a hint from Khu that the past/future aspects of Unova will be essentially explored further through something like paradoxes. Don't know if I believe it myself

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/s/iC9ka1XoAd

This is a summary of it

[quartz locust]

It's just a coincidence

Purple and gold is a regal color

And white hair is because he's draydons grandson

[wraith axle]

toothpaste hair

[quartz locust]

Fr

Colgate or sensodyne

What do you think his hair si

[viscid adder]

neither

it's a purple stripe

and I don't think anyone has made that kind of toothpaste... yet.

[gusty rock]

I gotta say I cannot wait for indigo mask to drop

[odd tapir]

We still don't know if dripplin actually gets an Evo or if eviolite working on it is just a bug.

[gusty rock]

I should not have watched the final trailer

It’s gonna be even harder for me to wait now god dammit

[odd tapir]

I like legendaries when there's quests for them, but even I have to admit it's getting a bit ridiculous how many we have now. And they don't even feel legendary anymore cuz we have so many of each one from past games.

[oak fox]

Been hearing about a face editor for Scarlet and Violet, where can I access it? I’ve been googling but I’ve yielded zero helpful results

[odd tapir]

Isn't that just one of the shortcuts on the face buttons?

[oak fox]

Where?

[odd tapir]

Idk just thought that's where it was.

[karmic escarp]

isn't it one of the d-pad directions?

also don't you get shoved into the editor right at the beginning?

[odd tapir]

Dpad, face buttons, same thing really

[oak fox]

Ah wait I found it

D pad and then +

I want to make my trainer look like she hasn’t slept in 30 years

[odd tapir]

so like Brassius then

can't wait to play as my favorite slow pokemon that go 5 feet an hour

[nova zephyr]

I wanna run around as walking wake

…I probably already said that here

But that just shows how important it is to me

[wispy kernel]

i wanna be raging bolt

it would be funny to control a lvl 100 oddish and go up against a legendary

Guhhhh I hate shiny hunting Cutiefly

I already have bad vision but omg

[forest summit]

This is BS because Draydon was obviously super old, so that's why he had white hair. Why do only Profs get grey as their older now? Why did Draydon pass on his old man hair?

[odd tapir]

It's anime logic. Blue and pink or two toned can be completely natural hair colors. So white is hardly a stretch.

[forest summit]

yeah but he was old

also is the Magnemite girl related to Fantina? They both have weird X hair

also why did they give her a ☠️ look despite not even using Poison types?

also holy crap does she look dumb AF!

"I use steel types so I attached screws in a ☠️ position so it's extra obvious I'm a Mangemite stan!"

what if the E4 members in Blueberry academy use two types... (not going to happen because GF sucks)
Lacey - Fairy and Psychic
Crispin - Fire and Fighting
Amarys - Steel and Poison
Drayton - Dragon and Water

[quartz locust]

Technically they never stated he had white hair because he was old

Unless they did and I don't know

[verbal dagger]

I think crispin has a sun team

In the trailer they were using an exeggutor and a magmortar

[dusky drum]

Silly question I can’t find on Google

If I were to breed a Blaze/Aqua breed Tauros with a ditto

Would it always be that breed? Or will it become combat

[nova zephyr]

Brute forcing through outbreaks since they have super high shiny odds and I can’t see shiny Flabebe without auto battle, got the first of 5 colors

I’m glad I won’t have to masuda method find these shinies now, but I’m wondering if I should go for 2 of each and get the floettes done or save my energy for milcery

[forest summit]

Flabébé just sucks to find in general

[tawdry flame]

Do the event outbreaks keep their new, increased shiny chance when you move onto another outbreak?

[dusky drum]

Making decent progress on my shiny living dex, least for Kanto

[forest summit]

do outbreaks only affect the usual form of Pokémon, like red flower Flabébé only ever appearing like in raids?

[unique anvil]

Can any scarlet players host a dialga raid please

[neon tide]

Its not yet

[odd tapir]

The dialga/palkia raid are indeed in affect already. I got my dialga last night. Trying to get a suitable apriball before I go for palkia.

[odd wind]

Looking for Dialga raid

[odd tapir]

I can maybe open mine when I get home later, but that won't be for a while.

[odd wind]

Cool, I’ll just keep checking the battle search for any luck

Found one

[odd tapir]

I ended up pretty well off with my eternatus against it. Crazy stats and abusing poison tera with poisoned venoshock worked pretty well. Slap a light screen on for the first draco meteor and it debuffs itself to barely leave a scratch at that point.

[viscid adder]

come to pokemon! we got old men that dye their hair!

[verbal dagger]

i just hit it with iron hands

[viscid adder]

I used my unrivaled inteleon

he's an ice tera

especially on palkia.

[verbal dagger]

palkia took us 2 tries, dialga one

[viscid adder]

it's funny to watch palkia throw fire blasts on a tera'd smug chameleon in rainy weather

[viscid adder]

i'm the opposite

[verbal dagger]

dialga is more bulky

[viscid adder]

2 tries on steely di and 1 try on pearlie

[odd wind]

I caught two red flower shiny flabebe’s if anyone wants one

Nothing

Perfectly normal

[gusty rock]

Wait shit I think I see my reflection lemme delete it just to be safe

[odd wind]

Got three shiny litwicks

Make that four

[wary moon]

So I'm torturing Carmine right now

[severe pier]

Can't wait for Air Encounter to lag up the game even more

[forest summit]

Here's a fun fact, these are the fully evolved Gen 1 Pokémon without having any extra forms, new evolutions, regional counterparts or convergent lookalikes:
Fearow
Arbok (It used to have different patterns, but I don't count that)
Nidoqueen
Nidoking
Clefable
Vileplume (Bellossom evolves from Gloom)
Parasect
Venomoth
Golduck
Poliwrath
Victreebel
Dodrio
Dewgong
Cloyster
Hypno
Hitmonlee (Tyrogue is a preevolution, so technically doesn't count)
Hitmonchan
Kangaskhan
Seaking
Starmie
Jynx
Ditto
Vaporeon
Jolteon
Flareon
Omastar
Kabutops
Dragonite
Mew

[odd tapir]

i wouldn't count lapras, kingler, snorlax as they all got gmaxes, or kangaskhan who got a mega

even though that last one is technically just the kid getting a bit older for a battle

[wispy kernel]

Vileplume, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan shouldnt be on here. The entire evolution line got a new addition

same with Jynx

[forest summit]

I already said why I count them

[forest summit]

I found so many of the GMax forms to be forgettable TBH

[nova zephyr]

Mew got an exclusive z move

[forest summit]

I don't count that

[wispy kernel]

i know. still shouldnt be on there

[nova zephyr]

Yeah they still got an extension to their evolutionary family

[pseudo prism]

Poliwrath too

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[quartz locust]

That was over 20 years ago

Also they most likely meant new evolutions, regional forms and convergent forms, not evolutions added 20+ plus years ago.

Megas count though, so I would agree with kangaskhan being removed from the list

They're called mega "evolutions"

And change the bst of the pokemon, it's ability and typing sometimes

[pseudo prism]

I don't see why how much time has passed would be relevant

[hollow parrot]

can someone help me with a trade evo?

[supple bone]

im hyped for the dlc release in 4 days. i just hope the story dont have as much padding as the dlc 1 did with ogerpon where it felt like it took like 1 hour more than it should have

[civic wing]

Ayyy, anybody here able to help critique my team members, and help me craft a competitive team for the DLC? c:

[wheat bison]

Prankster Tornadus looks great

[fickle birch]

I had an Orange Flabébé outbreak. 🙂

[forest summit]

I also hope it doesn't have you side with a narcissist and make their poor victim go insane

[neon tide]

Yea

[odd tapir]

To be fair, it's hard to cram character introduction and growth into a few hours of dlc

[lyric crystal]

It was a new direction, now if only it didn’t run like an obese Wailord

Can’t say I expected that amount of gaslight girlbossing

[odd tapir]

I didn't really have an issue with her. I'm usually pretty good at suspending disbelief and get sucked into a game/series pretty easily. Also it's kinda satisfying seeing her hlact all high and mighty, not knowing you're champion rank lol.

[quartz sphinx]

Can somebody trade me a piplup for pokemon scarlet?

[raw karma]

Yeah, I'll make an egg and I'll trade it to you, if you want.

[viscid adder]

ahhh the big ass wailord

I remember it from the isle of armor

caught it in one throw

lv 80

love that it was a static encounter

[small zealot]

We got two days left I cant wait to go find my shiny flygon

[raw karma]

I can't wait to transfer my shiny duraludon from sword into violet

[odd tapir]

Assuming its evo is any different shiny

[raw karma]

That's what I'm hoping for, but I also just want to have the shiny anyway.

[neon tide]

Can’t wait to find my shiny metagross

[small zealot]

Yo shiny Golurk and whimsacott

[calm dagger]

60 left for shiny charm and 34 left for shard charm

[odd tapir]

Gonna use my shiny beldum from oras that I never trained.

[small zealot]

Cant froget dipplin evolution

[odd tapir]

If dipplin really does have an Evo and the eviolite thing isn't just a bug, then I also have a shiny if that ready and waiting

[fallen stratus]

https://vxtwitter.com/finchinator2/status/1734676651651268903?s=46&t=feOqGyKfdFIGOFrparyfog

Darkrai is going to get unbanned from OU once DLC drops

How does this affect the metagame

[wispy kernel]

likely not much

[odd cave]

When are they unbanning sneasler tho

[tawdry flame]

I'm interested in doing shiny starter hunts whenever it's possible to make the starters show up in the wild in the indigo disk

litten, treecko, and totodile would be the ones that I would go after

[odd tapir]

actually have a couple from Go i can transfer over

[fallen stratus]

I stopped playing Pokemon go so I missed out on the meloetta give away

Can someone trade me a GO melo I wanna transfer it to my SV save

(I wanna use melo in my DLC team along with Ogerpon and Darkrai)

[quartz locust]

Sneasler is diabolical but it's maybe possible after the 2nd dlc

[odd tapir]

also have a complete alcremie set i can transfer over if i want i guess, and a single shiny milcery that i never decided on what flavor to evolve it into

[quartz locust]

I guess the rest of the Galarian forms arent coming back

Or maybe they are, idk though

[odd tapir]

they probably won't get dex entries, but if a pokemon has any form in the game, you can transfer any other form

[hollow parrot]

how does one get a gligar in violet?

[viscid adder]

trades or raids

gligar is a scarlet exclusive

[hollow parrot]

god damit

by chance, u got one spare?

[viscid adder]

nope

[hollow parrot]

crap

[viscid adder]

luckily, raids aren't version exclusive

[hollow parrot]

thank god

[viscid adder]

so you can do a gligar raid wherever

[hollow parrot]

yeah

probs gliscor

thanks for the heads up btw

[viscid adder]

np

[fallen stratus]

It's a good thing I have a gliscor in Home

So I can just transfer that mf

I also have to transfer my shaymin

I still need a spare melo from GO if anyone has one

I really wanna run through the dlc with a team of 3 mythicals/legends and nothing else
