bulldoze

#

lowers speed

#

mud slap

odd cave
#

And they also put earthquake and play rough to typhlosion

viscid adder
#

lowers accuracy

vestal granite
#

what type was it?

viscid adder
#

those two moves I mentioned were ground types

#

and play rough is fairy

vestal granite
viscid adder
vestal granite
#

play rough is a great idea then

viscid adder
#

because game freak thought two steps ahead

#

its obvious that its gonna work the same way

#

empoleon is going to have moves that are going to smite obvious cheesers

odd cave
#

Earthquake is also a great idea for empoleon because electric and steel types

vestal granite
viscid adder
odd cave
#

Iron hands

vestal granite
viscid adder
#

and you were planning to bring iron hands specifically for that reason

odd cave
vestal granite
#

I was gonna bring it cos its a great phys attacker that isnt weak to the moves I think it'll have

viscid adder
odd cave
#

Who knows tho

viscid adder
#

you never know!

vestal granite
#

I'll still be shocked if it has eq

peak shoal
#

holy shit gen 5 iron thorns

#

we had the paradoxes hiding under our noses this whole time

fair tapir
#

I didnt know how broken the shiny charm is the day I got it I found 6 shinies

#

actually 7

#

3 of the ones I got were dups

shrewd jetty
#

TRUE...

odd wind
#

Always astounds me to hear other people having an easy time finding shinies
Meanwhile I struggle with finding 1 doing all the things to make it easier

#

Luck just doesn’t like me

sick narwhal
#

hmm maybe a scizor for empoleon?

#

stellar tera (to not get destroyed by potential earthquakes, although exclusive)

#

and iron head for attacking

#

scizor was used for an earlier 7 star (forgot which)

nova zephyr
#

It still might get hit annoyingly hard by water moves

viscid adder
#

and the three ground type moves it can learn via TM

sick narwhal
#

Steel resists flying and bug resists ground

viscid adder
sick narwhal
#

Bug resists fighting

#

The only weakness of a bug/steel type is fire

viscid adder
#

yeah I'm dumb
looks like your duder has some serious coverage

sick narwhal
#

Nah its fine

viscid adder
#

corviknight also has some pretty good type coverage

viscid adder
odd wind
#

@vestal granite
Sorry for the mention, but just curious if you ever got a shiny skrelp

vestal granite
#

I tried and got none of the 4 Despair

odd wind
#

Damn
No problem tho

#

I at least got stunky

#

SHINY CLAUNCHER

#

FINALLY

peak shoal
#

anybody free for a little bit i need to evolve my shiny finizen and i forgot how long my switch online free trial has left on this user

placid barn
#

ok so

#

this friday its my birthday! what should i do on pokemon

vestal granite
#

Synchro hide n seek?

nova zephyr
#

Get your favorite Pokémon with the destiny mark? (If possible)

#

I’m personally shiny hunting a destiny mark Trapinch on my birthday coming up

zinc blade
#

pokestar studios

nova zephyr
#

It is

placid barn
#

oh yeah i dont have the dlcs...

placid barn
winter folio
#

what if every pokemon in scarlet and violet had a paradox form? 🤔

nova zephyr
#

The game would’ve taken like another year to make and competitive would be in shambles

#

Plus the fan designs of paradox Pokemon are just like mega evolutions

#

90% of them feel like they’re missing the point of the gimmick

thorny shoal
viscid adder
viscid adder
#

...yeah I can totally see that

#

though I'm not gonna lie, I do like the more wackier routes that onduregion has taken with the paradox forms

#

They all feel like boss mons

#

much liked marked bounties from final fantasy

nova zephyr
#

Of course the meowscarada is quadrupedal

forest summit
#

Some of these names can't be used

#

there's a 12 character limit and some go over 14

#

Diamond Knuckle and Great Matriarch are 15

#

also why did they use Blazing twice?

viscid adder
#

ask the guy that made them

#

...though I think they should've went with "searing horns"

forest summit
#

too long

#

Molten Horns

viscid adder
#

ooooh

#

even better!

vestal granite
#

If we're talking about fan paradoxs

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

Yeah, they do

#

Especially the infernape imo

vestal granite
#

Anyway you recommend I fix that?

nova zephyr
#

It just really isn’t dinosaurified/cavemanified at all

viscid adder
#

make it untamed

nova zephyr
#

The point is they came from some theoretical Jurassic era

vestal granite
#

Like fictional prehistoric

nova zephyr
#

Even donphan gets dinosaur spines and spiky teeth

vestal granite
#

Like flinstones ass beat

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

Mamoswine is the mammoth lol

vestal granite
#

There can be more than 1 mammoth

viscid adder
nova zephyr
#

But still, infernape has nothing to that extent

vestal granite
#

But yeah great tusk with the tusks, fur and fighting type I assume is mammoth

nova zephyr
#

It just has a cloud butt

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

It doesn’t have any fur though

viscid adder
vestal granite
#

But I guess that aint old enough tho

viscid adder
#

like yanmega

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

They’re Jurassic

vestal granite
#

You dont know what jurassic means, do you?

#

Because you've been using it wrong this entire time

nova zephyr
#

It’s not prehistoric in the slightest

#

In fact it is literally historic

vestal granite
#

You know I was more asking for future paradox mons

viscid adder
vestal granite
#

I understand your point that its too recent, you can stop

viscid adder
#

oh it's too late now, dude

#

I think TheEmeraldFlygon's gonna take off the gloves

nova zephyr
#

The future ones funnily enough I think are too inventive

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

But that’s just game freaks fault for setting a poor standard

vestal granite
#

I hate how stupid the designs for future ones are and I like adding diff concepts into

#

Tank for scoli, entertaining animatronic for skeli, etc

viscid adder
#

(me, sitting here watching these two fight as I'm comfortablely happy at the fact that the paradox mons are designed to be the most common interpretations of prehistoric and futuristic pokemon because they are literally man-made, as in created by a machine powered by tera energy)

viscid adder
vestal granite
#

Idk if emerald flygon is but I'm just asking for genuine critique and pointers for when I do new mons

#

I'm very much ok and happy with being told whats wrong with them

#

Means I wont make those mistakes in the future

viscid adder
vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

Ok to that extent, I’m gonna this purely as constructive criticism

vestal granite
#

I've been studying roaring moon a lil aling with the rest and noticed how they do wings, along with the insp for that style

nova zephyr
#

Feisty earth has the same pose and general design as Chesnaught does and I don’t like that

vestal granite
#

Yeah I see that

viscid adder
vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

It has basically the same silhouette

viscid adder
#

even scream tail (jiggleypuff) has a hint of fierceness

vestal granite
#

I was referring to the inspiration for the pokemon

#

But I will take that into consideration

vestal granite
viscid adder
vestal granite
#

Thats a great point

#

Anything else?

viscid adder
#

even though scream tail shares the same pose as the jigglemeister, they still have different silhouettes

viscid adder
#

she looks too soft

nova zephyr
#

It might also help to find a dinosaur to at least “call” it

#

For example, flutter mane is supposed to be a pterodactyl

vestal granite
nova zephyr
#

Yeah

vestal granite
#

Neutral expression, could rip you to shreds

nova zephyr
#

Also going back to that previous argument, I would accept great tusk as a dinosaur/mammoth hybrid

vestal granite
#

I see more mammoth/elephant in it

#

Cos like some ancient animals are not dinos and still cool af

karmic escarp
#

I think the point is that they are cartoonishly prehistoric and not very realistic

vestal granite
#

When it comes to what they're based on, yes, when it comes to how they do it, have you seen the layers of research I did just to realise how smart roaring moon's wings are?

nova zephyr
#

You know what? That infernape would work better as a bloodmoon ursaluna than a paradox if you could find a way to explain the individual evolution

vestal granite
#

Fair enough tbh

nova zephyr
#

(And gave it a few more design differences from base infernape)

viscid adder
#

and the future paradoxes are cartoonishly futuristic!

plucky flower
#

If there was a past paradox version of Palafin, I would call it “Great Scott”

viscid adder
#

Good news, everyone!
This guy doesn't have a flying type move or a ground type move in their arsenal!

#

which means its a free for all for all you iron hands people out there!

#

oh, and did you know that there's a scripted event chart in serebii?

#

because there is!

#

plan accordingly

sick narwhal
#

grass knot deals a LOT tho

#

380.7kg

#

for reference wailord is 398kg

fallen stratus
#

I think I'll just use good ol Magearna for this one

#

Don't wanna deal with no Iron Defense

real schooner
#

Oh shoot did i miss the second blaziken window

vestal granite
#

I mean flying wasnt really the problem, mainly just eq

#

Grass knot is a lil problem tho

viscid adder
#

forgot about that

pseudo prism
#

Time to ohko with the raid cat

viscid adder
pseudo prism
#

Yeah the classic

#

Iconic flow chart from day 1

#

#

Has anyone got a spare miradon I could have? Trying to complete the pokedex

onyx igloo
quiet frost
#

Hey guys, can I ask for an opinion on something?

#

What Ball best works/fits thematically with Empoleon: Ultra Ball, Dive Ball, or Moon Ball?

odd cave
#

I used a dive ball

odd tapir
#

moon has all the right colors

#

if anyone has a volcanion, empoleon only really has grass knot as a major threat, which is only until you tera fire. also has water absorb.

odd cave
#

The problem with volcanion is that it doesn't have any setup move so it would just be dealing very small amounts of damage

vestal granite
#

I say iron hands, belly drum, fighting moves, and empoleon has 0 ground coverage

#

Plus give it that one rock that makes you lighter and grass knot is hardly a problem

odd tapir
#

that's why i slapped the metronome item on it

severe pier
#

It's not quark drive

#

It's "Does Not Dies"

#

That's Iron Hands's ability

#

also who the fuck is running grass knot!?

#

unless you're playing random battle in a normal match you ain't gonna see that

viscid adder
#

even though your pokemon isn't weak to grass, grass knot + iron hands being a light 839.3 lbs is going to hurt.

#

like, we're talking 120 power.

#

with 100% accuracy

#

it's all fun and games until you trip so hard that its hard to get back up

quartz sphinx
#

Does anyone wanna trade my spare koridon for a miradon?

wispy kernel
#

hardest raid

#

impossible difficulty

viscid adder
#

oh that is adorable

#

whelp, time to check the stats

#

ok there's really nothing to worry about

forest summit
#

its best Fairy move is Draining Kiss...

karmic escarp
#

totally teasing a new luvdisc evo right guys/j

nova zephyr
#

Too bad it’s not the mightiest luvdisc

#

That would’ve been hilarious

viscid adder
#

well great, now we need to figure out a way to make a luvdisc mighty

#

....wait, why am I saying that like its a bad thing?

#

by the looks of it, this guy has potential to become a speedy support tank

#

give her an offensive psychic type move and she's ready for prime time

severe pier
#

Steel type go brrrrr

nova zephyr
#

I think they have random Tera types

#

Because it’s not a 7* raid

nova zephyr
#

Nevermind it is fairy specifically

#

Thank goodness it’s a candy raid though, I’ve been needing a refill badly

nova zephyr
#

I think I had some technical difficulties, sorry about that

wary moon
#

So I found a shiny indeedee in timeless woods

patent raven
#

So I evolved one of my pokemon at way too high of a level is there a way to remind them of moves that they should've learned at lower levels but didn't?

sick narwhal
#

In scarvi? You can just remember them via the moves tab

#

Summary > moves > press A > remember a move

viscid adder
#

however, you are only going to get the moves from when they are that specific pokemon.

viscid adder
#

however, it hasn't been updated to include mons from the DLC, so I also recommend to check bulbapedia.

inland prawn

@merry sleet I have caught your floofy baby

Hey. Wondering if someone would be willing to help me. I am trying to complete the national dex in home and I am two away. I can get 1 of them, but I need a Zeraora. I missed the event and don't have those games. And they are a bit pricey. I was wondering if someone could help me with a trade? 🤔

nova zephyr
#

Id touch trade you one if I had one that wasn’t shiny

glad fable
#

Anyone willing to trade version exclusives with me ? I don’t need to keep them, I just need the dex entries

#

Just the base dex by the way

shadow garden
#

So mad I have to start over because my switch decided to stop reading SD cards

#

Why doesn't this game have cloud save?

#

are scarlet and violet evolutions available? like kingambit

#

Yes

Not in infinite fusion, no

My 2 shinies in Violet. (Well Ka’ū was the Sandyghast, but she evolved!)

#

Miss Piggy and Ka’ū are both female shinies I caught. Miss Piggy is after I lost to the fire team star leader, so I was training. Ka’ū is while caughting pokemon on the beach near the Water Gym (it’s my strongest shiny that helps me beat Violet)

#

(Sorry about the lighting, that’s my ceiling light making the glow)

I thought that was a picture of a legit pig in some Barbie game

It’s a shiny Oinkologne female.

i need to go back to shiny hunting x-x

sick narwhal
#

shiny hunting in sv is fun imo

somber chasm
#

How good is s/v

cunning flare
#

Its a Buggy mess still but otherwise its just an ok Pokémon game, nothing really interesting or bad besides it being the worst game objectively

tired torrent
#

I personally haven't had many issues in my many hours playing, most of them lighting and texture based, and Pokemon spawning inside of walls and ceilings of caves because of how "ground" is determined, but it's also been the most fun I've had with a Pokemon game in a long time because you can go anywhere and catch anything as soon as you get past the tutorial and get the lizard-horse-bike, which is awesome for team composition options

You can literally zoom in on the picture and see bits of Hisuian Voltorb

Even if we couldn't, what PokeBall themed pokemon are even left?

viscid adder
#

...ok ditto doesn't count

#

buuuut i wouldn't mind seeing more pokeball mimics

odd tapir
#

og color magearna outbreaks

#

I'm curious how if ever we'll get access to a shiny og color magearna? The ultra ball coat looks so nice

#

Frankly I'd love to see magearna in other ball designs

viscid adder
#

honestly we totally need some mythical random encounters like meloetta

odd tapir
#

More secret mythical tea, but not outbreaks. I like being able to show off my magearna. It loses value if everyone can get it lol.

reef canyon
#

I honestly hope to get the DLC!

tacit raven
#

Also I love that I can catch Meloetta as soon as the Terarium is accessible and I can use it on my BB Academy team, especially for Drayton's trial.

viscid adder
#

which is a rare sight.

#

because most mythics can't be named

tacit raven
#

This was mine that I used during Indigo Disk

#

Named her after a Project Sekai character who's tired af

nova zephyr

#

dive balls are epic

viscid adder
#

...actually, I don't think we got an official pill bug mon, right?

#

those boys can roll up like balls

odd tapir
#

closest we have is wimpod/golisopod as giant isopod which are related to pill bugs

#

though the venopede line might be pill bugs actually

quiet frost
#

i know whirlipede is technechly a pill bug

viscid adder
#

but I can see the pillbug

#

it feels more like a centipede/pillbug hybrid

#

I was talking like an actual pillbug

jade kayak
#

Who for union club ?

#

For Legendary candies

bright maple
#

I know exactly what the mystery pokemon is from the sv outbreaks

#

Its hisui voltorb just look at the top left and bottom right and you will see why

forest summit
#

it's Brute Bonet

#

why would they do a mystery Pokémon of a mon already in the game?

odd cave
#

It's hisuian voltorb

@inland prawn seems next game is legends Z(unova)

#

2025 relase date though

inland prawn
merry sleet
#

wait its kalos aint it

inland prawn
#

Ye

#

I’m not the biggest fan of gen 6 but I hope that can change with this game

merry sleet
#

kinda wish it was a unova game

inland prawn
merry sleet
#

original dragon shall have to wait

inland prawn
merry sleet
#

though we may finaly get az floette

inland prawn
#

And mega clodsire

#

But mega really aren’t my favorite so I hope we get new regional versions of Pokémon

merry sleet
#

i just hope i can bring ogerpon with me lol

#

let her bash in some new skulls with her mace

inland prawn
#

Pokémon legends Ogerpon?!

#

Ogerpon mega

merry sleet
#

though ogerpon kinda relies on terastal for her forms unless they giver her a dif mega for each mask

merry sleet
#

thouigh now i have to save up for the switch 2

#

seeing its prob gonna be on that

inland prawn
#

That’s 2025 Mee’s problem

#

I’ll wait til the next pokomon game comes out

merry sleet
#

unless they skip this year

#

i hope yevatal and xern gets new forms

inland prawn
#

Well seeing what they did to dialga and palkia idk

merry sleet
#

though i wonder how will they balance megas seeing its gonna be a mega game

inland prawn
#

Well in arceus everything did tons of damage so it should even out

#

I also wonder what time period this takes place

viscid adder
inland prawn
#

That sounds nice!

viscid adder
#

since during that time, France was undergoing a massive transformation

#

It's best to do some research ahead of time

inland prawn
#

But the trailer makes it look all new and shiny

odd cave
#

Finally we'll get zygarde 75% form

native wind
#

Zygarde 100% form appearing is gonna be a cool moment

#

Regardless of the context

#

What will the story be about though
Since Legends Arceus was the first Pokédex

#

Maybe the kalos war?

viscid adder
viscid adder
inland prawn
#

It would be cool if the map is just a giant city

#

Nice change of pace

#

Cyberpunk Pokémon

viscid adder
#

though I'm more intrigued by whatever this is

native wind
viscid adder
#

but who's

native wind
#

Probably the team responsible for building

#

Like in the trailer

viscid adder
#

again, I know what they are

native wind
#

Ok

#

Could they be linked to team flare in some way?

viscid adder
#

Probably!
I assume that it is going to have sun motifs

native wind
#

Team solar?

viscid adder
#

Since Team Flare was named after Solar Flares

viscid adder
#

Solar Group

native wind
#

Squad Solar?

inland prawn
#

Wonder what the new starters are gonna be

native wind
inland prawn
#

I’m hoping torterra

viscid adder
#

I'm saying solar group because there's no way in hell they are gonna use Corona Group

viscid adder
native wind
#

Like Legends Arceus starters but with different Pokémon from the generations

inland prawn
#

Torterra with a little city on its back

#

Grass steel

viscid adder
#

Sprigatito and Sobble are likely candidates

native wind
#

Steel ground torterra?

viscid adder
#

But I don't know who's going to be fire

inland prawn
#

Ciderace

native wind
native wind
#

Kalosian Incineroar

They already used rowlet

Litten is also a valid option, but Sprigatito seems more fitting

native wind
#

I think the starters will be
Litten
Snivy
And Totodile

inland prawn
#

They’ve been probably working on this game for a while I doubt there will be any gen 9 pokemon

native wind

#

piplup's final evo totally makes sense with the paris locale

native wind
#

Piplup could definitely work

#

Do any other starters have french themes though

viscid adder
native wind
#

That'd be two water starters though

viscid adder
native wind
#

Ok

viscid adder
#

IN THE THREE STARTER LINEUP

#

sorry for yelling

native wind
#

Is fine

viscid adder
#

anyway, I'm saying sobble because nothing says sneaky french thief quite like a chameleon!

#

I'm just laying out all the options

#

So, to recap, our guesses are:
-Sprigatito
-Snivy
-Litten
-Sobble
-Piplup

#

I'll throw in torchic for good measure

native wind
#

Blaziken variant could be fun

quiet frost
#

we already got a fire starter régional form tho

odd cave
#

||charizard variant Trollgar ||

viscid adder
quiet frost
#

i know

#

I'm just hoping for a grass or water variant

viscid adder
merry sleet
#

i would like a fire flying blazakin water dark empoion and grass dragon Serperior

#

though i wonder will they do megas like rayquaza where they just need to know a move

inland prawn
#

Such as the legendaries

#

But what’s 98% gonna get new megas are the original gen 6 Pokémon

maiden ocean
#

I just wish they stopped with all the gimicks and gaves us megas for everything.

inland prawn
#

I like regional forms more

inland prawn
inland prawn
maiden ocean
#

I do not consider regional forms as a gimick. Mainly because they have been returning for 3 gens now

merry sleet
#

heck lore wise going mega kills them

maiden ocean
merry sleet
#

true fans

inland prawn
#

Hoping cinderace and torterra get new forms

merry sleet
#

just give me ogerpon with 4 new megas lol

inland prawn
#

You water type enjoyers can get whatever you want

#

Maybe a new swampert form?

viscid adder
#

Oh that's uncharted territory for Game Freak

inland prawn
#

Mega gigantamax terra clodsire

merry sleet
#

mega tera terapagos the world destroyer

inland prawn
#

Feel like everyone forgot about terapagos

#

I never hear anyone talk about it

merry sleet
#

he is kinda forgetable

#

not very good in battle much imo

#

unlike ogerpon whos ivy curgle is kinda busted

inland prawn
#

Ogerpon op in ou

#

Plus the mask gimmick isn’t tied to the generational gimmic

#

Ogerpon will live forever

merry sleet
#

though i think this legends game may be in the future

inland prawn
#

Cyberpunk pokomon real?

merry sleet
#

cuase re are doing something to the lunine city or what evr

inland prawn
#

We’ll find out in like 7 months when new information comes out

zinc blade
#

If you guys didnt tune in, here's the upcoming tera raid battles

inland prawn
#

Meh

#

I can catch those guys in the wild

merry sleet
#

i dont really care about the might mark

zinc blade
inland prawn
#

Nobody knows

#

Wish the trailer had more info

merry sleet
#

not tell riddler khu leads us on a wild ghoose chase

zinc blade
#

the official pokemon legends site

inland prawn
#

Still too vague

zinc blade
#

urban redevelopment plan

merry sleet
#

all im betting its gonna be on switch 2

zinc blade
#

no, it wont

inland prawn
#

Pokémon city builder

zinc blade
#

it will be on regular switch, switch 2 has been delayed

#

im assuming what it is, is legends arceus style gameplay but set in the city

merry sleet
#

the switch can barly run sv with out glitching

inland prawn
#

Pls god let it be a more fleshed out arceus gameplay

#

It was so good

#

Unlike scarlet

tacit raven
#

I wonder how this whole thing is going to work

merry sleet
#

prob something simular to pla

inland prawn
#

Lots of things to wonder bout

merry sleet
#

i just hope we can finally get az floette

tacit raven
#

Since it's set entirely in the 1 city, that's going to be a lot of stuff that will be put into the gigantic Lumiose City

inland prawn
#

I do hope they still give new forms to Pokémon as well as new megas

#

Hisuian Pokémon are my favorite

#

They gave so much great glow ups to forgotten Pokémon

#

Basculin and ursaring being two examples

merry sleet
#

then ursarang again in teal mask

#

with another new form

inland prawn
#

Lol idk why they did that but I’m not complaining

odd cave
#

Watchog evo if real

merry sleet
#

but i hope zygarde xern and yeva gets new forms

inland prawn
#

Deer shaped yeva

merry sleet
#

zygarde can just be a diff %

inland prawn
#

I doubt they will give zygarde a new form

merry sleet
#

like a 25% or 75%

inland prawn
#

Like arceus

placid patrol
quiet frost
merry sleet
quiet frost
#

Bring Dynamic battles and catching system back

merry sleet
#

while they can do like a 75% form in one form or somthing

stiff minnow
#

smogon seeing megas returning knowing mega rayquaza will be obtainable again

viscid adder
#

because the acronym is "PLAZ"

merry sleet
#

or za

viscid adder
#

oh right

#

PLZA

#

...holy shit that actually works better

stiff minnow
#

AZ is probably gonna play a large role in the story since he'd probably be around during the events of the game

merry sleet
#

if they dont give us az floete ima riot

viscid adder
merry sleet
#

or or what if we do get 2 new forms on is bird on is deer

viscid adder
#

being based on the children of loki and all that

merry sleet
#

for xern and yeca

viscid adder
#

have some homework

merry sleet
#

yes ik kalos had alot of nordic mythogy in it

#

low key i want more acyual pokemon fusions

#

like white-k and sol crozma

viscid adder
#

considering my theory that the "A" legendary is Yggdrasil, we might get that chance

viscid adder
#

So you might be on to something here

stiff minnow
#

hoopa, diancie, and volcanion might be obtainable again

#

considering PLA had darkrai, shaymin, and manaphy/phione

merry sleet
viscid adder
#

the yggdrasil pokemon is more likely

#

or a time machine accident

#

but never zygarde

#

would make for a good red herring tho

nova zephyr
#

Finally a furfrou W

stiff minnow
#

zygarde wants to keep order right?

#

so if it wants something done it'd do it itself

viscid adder
merry sleet
#

i hope we get all the furfrou trims so we cans top these very hard/ impossible trades

viscid adder
#

well you are in luck!

odd cave
#

Imagine the reaction of all the people who traded their legendaries for a furfrou in pokemon home

viscid adder
#

there's gonna be a lot of mixed emotions

stiff minnow
#

Why would you trade a legendary for a styled furfrou

viscid adder
#

ever since dexit, getting one of those was difficult

#

The only time you can get one was in Pokemon Go, but only during fashion week and valentines day

tacit raven
#

And HOME's GTS was basically a Furfrou black market

viscid adder
tacit raven
#

So thank God those dang poodles won't be rare anymore

viscid adder
#

what a glorious sentence

tired torrent
#

I thought Furfrou lost it's cut when it went to HOME and all the trades asking for cuts were just trolling, tbh

wispy kernel
#

EXCEPT FOR FURFROU FROM GO FOR SOME REASON

#

Pokemon Go is the reason for our suffering as always

viscid adder
#

....this is for thisguy btw

#

But yeah, I'm starting to lose interest in Go

#

The combat is monotonous, getting in raids remotely is hard as balls

merry sleet
#

i wonder what gen 10 will be after we get legends z-a

peak siren
#

Anyone has a shiny cectitan?

tired torrent
#

honestly the only things I care about with games now are 1) are the mythicals just hanging out in it and I can get them, I'm 7 mons away from a true living dex and 2) is it fun

viscid adder
#

Alright, people. It's mighty venusaur time.

#

I know, I know.
Not all of you are going to care about catching it, but some people out there wanna wreck this guy so lemme analyze this duder

#

My advice? Bring ice types.
Don't bring water types. or grass types.

#

Plus venusaur has chlorophyll, which makes it faster in sunshine.

#

It will unload sunny day twice.

#

You can rain on its parade or summon some snow to kill the speed boost.

tawdry flame
#

Apparently this is the first event raid that drops herba mystica

#

So it may be worth a try to do this raid

#

I overheard from Twitter that a H-Goodra with Sap sipper & holding an air balloon makes it immune to every attacking move venusaur has (until you terastallize)

viscid adder
#

Oh you got yourself a pretty good tank

stiff minnow
#

the primal urge to bring kyogre to this raid is strong

tawdry flame
#

Then Earth power will affect H-Goodra

odd cave
#

Bulletproof chestnaught is also a good idea since it's immune to sludge bomb

stiff minnow
#

tera steel giratina would be fun to use against it

odd tapir
#

Orthworm

prime moss
viscid adder
#

Its woerm season!

tawdry flame
stiff minnow
#

it's just orthworm has nothing for ground types

viscid adder
#

That boy needs a grass type move

stiff minnow
#

also it's stats are pretty bad for this raid

viscid adder
#

also I'm not used to steel's new color in bulbapedia

stiff minnow
#

didn't notice it changed lol

tired torrent
#

Woah

odd cave
#

Bro who tf uses haze in a tera raid 💀

#

Literally one of my teammates did that

sick narwhal
#

💀

#

Me boutta bring my tera stellar arceus and hope it wins:

#

Frick it has amnesia

#

Will it actually use that or

stiff minnow
#

prob

#

my only good water type (other than arceus) is my azumarill

#

cause i could change its tera type

#

but 2x liquidation is too satisfying

#

oh and kyogre

sick narwhal
#

Uh i forgor what water types i have 💀

#

I have azu but its fairy tera

stiff minnow
#

idk how flinching works in tera raids

#

if i did i would see if annoying af jirachi would work

sick narwhal
#

Dont think raid bosses can be flinched

stiff minnow
#

oof

#

arceus continues to prove to be op for raids

#

with the leagues of coverage

#

and pretty ok stats

viscid adder
#

been thinking about my pokemon communcation headcanons again

#

what language would the tinkaton family speak in?

stiff minnow
#

irl language or a fictional one?

viscid adder
#

I'm probably thinking an IRL language, but a made up one could work too

#

If fictional, I would assume they would say "yoom tah" or "tally-ho!"

stiff minnow
#

tinkaton with an english accent would be silly

viscid adder
stiff minnow
#

also the porygon line using text to speech is awesome

#

porygon-z would def sound like Bonzi Buddy

viscid adder
odd cave
#

Why do people keep bringing grass types that are not chesnaught

stiff minnow
#

they see ground type venusaur

#

and don't think about poison type

viscid adder
stiff minnow
#

i did a 6 star ice type pelipper raid yesterday and two people brought koraidon

viscid adder
tired torrent
#

honestly I just sort of assume the meta for any given raid is that one exact Azumarill build until I hear differently

prime moss
#

or iron hands

stiff minnow
#

either azumarill or iron hands i think

tired torrent
#

iirc it was dachsbun once

prime moss
#

ceruledge and koraidon have some pretty good sets for raids where they aren't hit for SE too

#

ceruledge is swords dance bitter blade with clear smog as a bonus option for when the raid 'mon tries to set up

#

koraidon can also rock sd drain punch

odd cave
#

Annihilape is also very goated

karmic tartan
#

One might say “with the sauce”

nova zephyr
#

Another 7 star down

stiff minnow
#

nice

#

i remember being gaslit into think gimmighoul's shiny was a silver color

#

for like a year

dark grotto
ember burrow
#

Is it just the first time or for every time you fight them?

nova zephyr
ember burrow
#

Ohhh.

#

I had to use quite a bit due to shiny hunting for my shinylocke of the indigo disk so I'm certainly going to look into this.

sick narwhal
#

When does the venusaur end?

viscid adder
sick narwhal
#

Ah ok thanks

slim hound
sick narwhal
#

I dont imagine a human would make a good car…

viscid adder
#

You know... maybe we should've been tipped off that a kalos game was coming when the aura trio wasn't avaliable in the blueberry academy

#

but everyone else was.

sinful radish
#

yeah there was plently of hints we as a community just never put them together i mean the protag in legends arceus literally wears the kalos shirt from x and y

stiff minnow
#

maybe UBs will also be in Legends za

#

cause they also weren't in blueberry

#

i hope

merry sleet
#

im hoping we get a new legendary repisenting the world tree seeing yev is the egal atop he tree xern is the deer at its base and xygarde is the snake eating its roots

#

so a 4th being the tree itself would be cool

nova zephyr
#

The A in Z-A definitely holds some significance the community isn’t noticing

nova zephyr
viscid adder
merry sleet
nova zephyr
#

Well it’s both a deer and a tree

viscid adder
#

Xerneas represents the deer that hang out near yggdrasil

nova zephyr
#

When dormant it takes the form of a tree

merry sleet
#

xern is based off the deer fro thw world tree mythos

viscid adder
#

when it has exhaust its powers

#

if it was based on the life tree

#

it wouldn't look dead

nova zephyr
#

Yeah I guess

#

In the pmd universe there is a tree of life but it’s inanimate

viscid adder
#

the fact that it gives out mega energy is an interesting observation

nova zephyr
#

Either way, my theory is that the A represents a new legendary that will be playing the role of the main antagonist in the story

merry sleet
#

though im thoryisng we may get a new "fusion" with zygarde and both xern and yev for 2 new forms

nova zephyr
#

Like Giratina in arceus

#

The A has a distinct pattern to match the zygarde pattern on the Z

merry sleet
#

im waiting to pull my shiny xern yev and zygarde to za

nova zephyr
#

No Pokémon exists with significance in kalos, has that pattern, and starts with A

merry sleet
#

thats why ppl are theprsig is a new legedary with ties the the world tree like xern yev and zygarde

stiff minnow
#

what if it's arceus again lmao

nova zephyr
#

Arceus doesn’t have that scale pattern or any significance in kalos

#

He is one of the top contenders though

#

Alongside Az, though his name has both A and Z so it doesn’t make much sense

#

Plus the elaborate pattern he has nothing to do with

stiff minnow
#

the A could be the ultimate weapon or tied to it somehow

#

considering AZ was the first that tried to fire it

nova zephyr
#

It does have a kind of vaguely similar color

nova zephyr
#

He killed hundreds of Pokémon

stiff minnow
#

for the uh

#

greater good ig

merry sleet
#

and ttar is on somthing again lol with his wild theorys

nova zephyr
#

And then his wife floette left him

stiff minnow
#

eternal floette is cool but literally never given out

merry sleet
#

it better be given out in za

stiff minnow
#

that and the kalos mythicals

nova zephyr
#

It even has the coolest sounding signature move ever, Forbidden Light

stiff minnow
#

light that burns the sky?

#

or its japanese name

#

Heaven-Scorching Light of Destruction

nova zephyr
#

Oh wait I just remembered it isn’t called that isn’t it

#

I think it’s Light of Ruin

stiff minnow
#

yeah

nova zephyr
#

Forbidden light is a card pack from alola lmao

stiff minnow
#

not even obtainable

#

they also updated the box/party sprite for eternal floette

nova zephyr
#

Maybe that’s a hint

#

Maybe it is planned to return

merry sleet
#

it had a pusbale sprite in the games it was just never ogven to us

stiff minnow
#

and a shiny form

merry sleet
#

well all pokemon get a shiny form

stiff minnow
#

unique from normal floette tho

#

eternal's is pink

merry sleet
#

eternal was baslic gonna be a mythical pokemon

#

but they removed it last minite for a inperson event they never did

stiff minnow
#

almost a mythical tbh

#

not enough stats i think

merry sleet
#

Phione has low stats like 440 iirc

stiff minnow
#

phione is a special case tho

#

since it's the only one available from breeding

merry sleet
#

still a mythical pokemon and if u owb pla u can just catch one

nova zephyr
#

Because it was never intended to be possible to obtain shiny

viscid adder
#

whereas manaphy is the diancie

stiff minnow
#

always thought carbink evolved into diancie

nova zephyr
#

Technically it does, you just can’t make it happen

#

Diancie is a rare mutation of Carbink

stiff minnow
#

i wanted to use diancie when i first played through sw/sh not knowing it was a mythical

odd cave
merry sleet
#

by 1 point so not much

stiff minnow
#

they aren't mythicals tho

#

just legendaries

odd cave
#

Still, there's no rule that implies mythicals can't have a bst as low as this

stiff minnow
#

fair

merry sleet
#

and as i said phinoe is technecly a mythical pokemon and its stats are onmly 480

stiff minnow
#

eternal floette is an honorary mythical

#

and technically the rarest

merry sleet
#

for all we know eternal flower floeete could have been more common before az fired the weapon

#

seeing its just holding the eternal flower

#

that flower could have been destroyed becuase of the weapon

odd cave
#

I guess floette could be something more like a special form like cap pikachu

merry sleet
#

though i just hope they finally give us a eteneral flower floette

stiff minnow
#

with megas coming back we're def getting diancie

#

someway or another

merry sleet
#

i hope we get megas like rayquaza where they can mega evolve when they meet a certin req like ray needed to know dragon acent

stiff minnow
#

mega stones are what balances them tho

#

imagine a mega evolution with a life orb or a choice item

merry sleet
#

not really some megas were just stright dog dodo

stiff minnow
#

like?

#

cause garchomp is the only one i can really think of thats literally worse

#

cause of the speed decrease

#

and the atk boost is less than a life orb/choice band

merry sleet
#

mega diance was weak

stiff minnow
#

i mean

#

magic bounce too

merry sleet
#

upon evolving into Mega Diancie, it ends up transforming into a metaphorical glass cannon. In return for its increased attack, Diancie’s formerly high defensive stats are reduced. Coupled with its low HP stat, Diancie can be vulnerable to powerful attacks, especially from Steel-types.

#

so mega Aggron could beat her easyly

stiff minnow
#

it would be able to outspeed rayquaza if it could hold a scarf

#

but it can't

#

and if rayquaza is then it would be barely slower with a scarf

stiff minnow
#

and diancie is 4x to steal

merry sleet
#

out of all the megas deince is by far the weakest

stiff minnow
#

also 160 spa versus mega aggron's 80 spd

merry sleet
#

i had her and never really used her

stiff minnow
#
  • it gets earth power and in gen 6 and 7 it could run HP fire
merry sleet
#

though im expecting a mega charzard z and mewtwo z

#

chardzard z i would like it to be the best of both x and y versions and mewtwo the same

stiff minnow
#

not another charizard form

merry sleet
#

come one charzard is the goat lol

stiff minnow
#

nah

merry sleet
#

charzard do get the specal treatment though

stiff minnow
merry sleet
#

give my boi squitel 2 new megas

#

Rapid Spin

#

that would clear it

stiff minnow
#

still gotta switch into zard

merry sleet
#

also defog

#

though i kinda hop we get more battlebond pokemon that was a cool thing they never kept doing

stiff minnow
#

cause it was exclusively for Ash's greninja

#

it's a direct tie-in to the anime

merry sleet
#

yes but they could have made more just haveing ash greninja be the first

#

also min the mini-manga there is another geninja who has battlebond

#

x&y y's croaky was confirmed to have it

#

though i may transfer my shiny diancie to z-a if shes in it

nova zephyr
stiff minnow
#

walking wake is a legendary imo

#

since it's the paradox form of a legendary

odd cave
stiff minnow
#

lol

odd cave
#

Mega audino is the weakest by far

stiff minnow
#

oh yeah

#

that is a mega
