pokemon-winds-waves

[slate loom]

Also god damn the parkour in this game feels weird

[radiant otter]

yeah you can get venipede from wild zone 5

[glacial nymph]

I think the problem with Pokemon games is that Gamefreak knows how to make a Pokemon game

They just don't know how to make a video game.

[robust wren]

||The leaked information around Pokemon Wind and Waves sounds decently ambitious, but that ambition can absolutely be a double edged sword||

[glacial nymph]

You remember those scrapped features that leaked from the early games? That’s exactly what the leaked Gen 10 features feel like.

[plucky escarp]

Target acquired

[sharp elbow]

Is there any static Shinys is Z-A?

[plucky escarp]

No

All statics are shiny locked apparently

[marsh swift]

booooo

[hazy knot]

im seeing a lot of people getting magikarp

[plucky escarp]

Including trades, and a lot of the gift starters and mons

[plucky escarp]

V easy to farm, took me 20mins

[hazy knot]

ic

[sharp elbow]

Ah ok so i’m just starting the game just walking around and Find a Shiny Bunnelby.

[hazy knot]

bunnelby goat

[plucky escarp]

10 of them spawn in area 2, takes 30seconds to check ann and reload the area

[sharp elbow]

I’m headed back to the Z Hotel after meeting with that mable girl

[plucky escarp]

Anyways back to lurking else spoilers

[daring finch]

Still mad this is my shiny

[sharp elbow]

I found it in a area with kukuna.

[daring finch]

Tho the fit goes hard

[hazy knot]

that’s your goat bro

your ace

your wooper

[daring finch]

Thats clearly a monkey

[glacial nymph]

Bro how easy is it to get Shinies in this game

[daring finch]

They dont despawn

[hazy knot]

Very difficult, I asked John Freak

[daring finch]

I asked hank game

It is indeed difficult

[hazy knot]

Yes indeed

1/1bajillion1092888 chance

[daring finch]

You dont have the game right?

[hazy knot]

I bought it but it still hasn’t come in 😠

[sturdy flower]

https://youtu.be/8pRP44MSM0s

[daring finch]

Bro why did an AI translate that to dutch

[daring finch]

You got the game?

[terse sandal]

Has anyone heard about what they did to LEVITATE

[edgy palm]

What did they do to it?

Ah, I see it now

The ability is gone

Sorta

[little nacelle]

Yes!

Specifically one.

Mareep.

It's sorta the same as the questline for shiny ponyta in PLA

ZA has a guaranteed shiny Mareep

haven't done the quest myself yet though XD

[sharp elbow]

ah ok i gotchu. just asked because i got a Shiny BUnnelby within an hour of playing

[little nacelle]

BRUH

why are yall so lucky

💔

[sharp elbow]

no clue.

i do shiny hunt aton

[little nacelle]

okay tobefair

[sharp elbow]

maybe it was an omen for good luck

[little nacelle]

in Scarlet i somehow managed to get Shiny Marill and Shiny Oranguru one day after another lol

[sharp elbow]

i got SHiny CHespin and Shiny BUlbasaur in one sandwich

[little nacelle]

btw @sharp elbow SHINY HUNTING SPOILER ||there is no way to improve shiny odds in ZA apart from the Shiny Charm||

[little nacelle]

i didn't use sandwiches

both were full odds

[sharp elbow]

yea i saw an austin john video on it

[little nacelle]

what do you think of my team btw

[sharp elbow]

i'm glad it does that save data thing

[sharp elbow]

seems good. i haven't even evolved my pokemon yet

[little nacelle]

my team is rather funny

because like

[sharp elbow]

speaking of so when does Tepig evolve?

[little nacelle]

level 16

[sharp elbow]

ehat about pignite?

[little nacelle]

36

[sharp elbow]

okay thank you

[little nacelle]

oh yeah if you're looking on Bulbapedia, there's a chance i've worked on one of the pages you're currently looking at

[sharp elbow]

oh thats cool

[little nacelle]

i've been going ham on editing bulbapedia

[jade ocean]

What rank are you rn?

[daring finch]

Have you mentioned the fact that some pokemon just stand still when youre not near?

[indigo mango]

played some ZA, long ass Tutorial lul, made me really hate Taunie

constantly not allowed to go anywhere heh. also was right i hated the fighting in this, it not being turn based sucks, not enough time to really think...so i just spam attacks now and overlevel my starter. so im now level 30 at Rank X

[daring finch]

You got switch online?

[indigo mango]

mmh yeah? tho its not needed for anything...did get me the ralts but put it in my Box

[daring finch]

I need someone to trade my haunter with for a gengar

[indigo mango]

also when we fdirst got to the rocks i was annoyed that we have to get HM Slaves again but im glad im wrong and kinda any move can destroy those rocks

same with the roots

[daring finch]

Wait roots can be destroyed?

[indigo mango]

you can burn em

[daring finch]

Ah

[woeful flume]

bruh my friend found a shiny vanilite earlier and i have yet ot find any

[indigo mango]

Pignite is basically m HM slave lul, it burns the roots and punches the rocks

one huge dislike i have are clothing shops, if we had like a shop selling different thigns that be fine....but having like 20 shjops all selling like 5-7 dif clothes thats just annoying to check through

especially sicne all shops are so close together you could have just made it one shop

[forest egret]

SV also kinda did that

[daring finch]

That I agree

[daring finch]

Yeah but sv didnt have player customisation as its selling point

[indigo mango]

SV had maybe like 5 shops in a city and not like they sold much clothing

[forest egret]

I'm aware, I'm just saying

[daring finch]

Dude I found this

[forest egret]

Yeah exactly

[daring finch]

Also I am still in love with this fit

[woeful flume]

[edgy palm]

Ok... Mega Zygarde's stats are officially insane

[indigo mango]

also whoever made a graveyard a wild zone is a dickhead

[jade ocean]

You really start to wonder why ||Ivor wants to abolish Wild Zones when so many new ones keep popping up, bro could just wait a few years and have his wish come true||

[wispy kernel]

guys this might be the best game ever they gave my blorbo my favorite pokemon

[brazen jetty]

Spoilers for the late game and an important mega ||Mega Zgardehas 216 special attack and a 200 base power move this is straight up comedy||

[jade ocean]

||A 200 Base Power move with only 1 resist that gets hit for SE by its other STAB||

[daring finch]

Oh neat a guaranteed shiny mareep

[daring finch]

Myst you got ZA?

[brazen jetty]

No i just read that online

[jade ocean]

I've actually heard conflicting info on ||Nihil Light||

About whether it's ||100 or 200 BP||

[brazen jetty]

My guess is

[jade ocean]

If it's the former, I can actually see it making it out of ZA

[brazen jetty]

||That it will be 200 bp in za and 100 elsewhere||

[jade ocean]

||With 100 BP, Mega Zygarde would probably not be too broken in Ubers||

||Maybe||

||A lot of people said it'll only have 50% HP always but doesn't Power Construct heal you?||

[brazen jetty]

||yeah its like darmanitan zen mode on crack||

power construct heals the user for 33% of their max hp iirc

[jade ocean]

||Yeah so max 83% HP min 34%||

||And god forbid you find yourself closer to the 83% end||

||Even with losing Defences this is still a very bulky Pokemon, and there's this gap between Base 90+s and Arceus which makes Mega Zygarde outspeed every relevant Pokemon up to Arceus||

[wispy kernel]

guys. guys dont fight an alpha 20 levels higher than your highest level pokemon

bad idea

I’ve learned from experience

[indigo mango]

seems like basic leveling

[woeful flume]

i wonder what made you think that was even a good idea to do

[wispy kernel]

I really wanted a hawlucha

that was the first one I’ve seen

[indigo mango]

tho i also tried fighting a trainer with a pidgeotto during my very first Battle Zone

lost 67 medals lul

[woeful flume]

oh yeah that one

i almost fought them too Lol

[wispy kernel]

this bitch

[woeful flume]

throw a mball at it

[indigo mango]

i actually did decent damage but due to how these fights work, my tepig got stuck on a wall and its aattacks only hit the wall

[wispy kernel]

I CAME BACK AND ITS A REGULAR HAWLUCHA NOW

[woeful flume]

W

[jade ocean]

10 levels is fine though from personal experience

[indigo mango]

is that Bois

[wispy kernel]

absolutely

[jade ocean]

Well

Unless you just fought 2 other Alphas

And forgot to heal before aggroing the 3rd

[woeful flume]

im trying to hunt for shiny gastly hopefully alpha rn

[jade ocean]

Like some sort of idiot (me)

OK ngl

The moves that are the most annoying to fight aren't the strong ones

[indigo mango]

i forgot to heal for one of the rank fights but i was so overleveled it was sitll one shots

[jade ocean]

But they're the ones that spawn on you quickly

Like Sand Tomb

Or Icy Wind

[woeful flume]

confusion

[jade ocean]

I never find myself getting the roll timing right to dodge those lmao

[woeful flume]

even in legends arceus it was difficult to dodge attacks

[jade ocean]

Which is especially bad if you're being targeted by an Alpha Krokorok, 3 Sandiles, 2 Gibles, 2 Drillburs, 2 Machops and maybe even a Numel

[indigo mango]

eh

i dunno how anyone managed to die in arceus

[wispy kernel]

I got really good at dodging in PLA

[jade ocean]

Most of those have Sand Tomb

You get smoked

[wispy kernel]

4 fucking alpha electivires:

[indigo mango]

i didnt even know you could die till after i finsihed the game and watched people play it

[wispy kernel]

I GOT HAWLUCHA

[woeful flume]

[jade ocean]

Anyways for the most part I haven't been struggling avoiding attacks

[wispy kernel]

the problem is

now I need to decide who to take off my team for it

[woeful flume]

i tried getting back into pla yesterday and it was not it lmao i was getting hit by everything

[jade ocean]

Literally having the same issue lmao

[wispy kernel]

My team is Croconaw, Quilladin, Heracross, Patrat, Flaaffy, and Flaaffy

[indigo mango]

curretnly my team is a Level 30 Pignite, a level 14 Pancham and a level 17 Barnicle

[jade ocean]

I have like 10 different Megas in rotation

[jade ocean]

You can probably replace one of those

[wispy kernel]

I’m prolly gonna take off patrat

[jade ocean]

Maybe add the Sidequest Fennekin for a Fire type

Idk

[spare roost]

patrat is the guy though

[jade ocean]

I have a level 76 Emboar rn

[spare roost]

besides he evolves really soon

[wispy kernel]

that is true

[jade ocean]

He's, uhh

[woeful flume]

i love going through the graveyard and seeing 2-3 alpha spinaraks chilling

[jade ocean]

"A bit" overleveled

[wispy kernel]

I am like the only watchog fan

[jade ocean]

(I'm like 20 levels over everything)

[wispy kernel]

I must defend his honor

[jade ocean]

My main team's only level 60+

Like excluding Emboar

[spare roost]

me who is using him in my ZA team rn

[woeful flume]

i love any and all gen 5 mons besides alomomola

[spare roost]

wrong person

[jade ocean]

It's Embover

[spare roost]

me who is using him in my final ZA team rn

[wispy kernel]

its so hard choosing a team

[spare roost]

so far im locked in with Emboar, Watchog, and Barbaracle

[wispy kernel]

like the reasonable decision is to get rid of one of the flaaffys

[jade ocean]

My Emboar's fucking cooking shit really hard as to be expected for being a pretty strong Pokemon with a 20+ level lead

[wispy kernel]

but im not reasonable at all

[spare roost]

im flipping between Manectric and Heliolisk, and the others are undecided

[woeful flume]

i want shiny gastly to be on the team

[jade ocean]

I'm thinking of maybe swapping Ampharos out of my team

But the question is, with what?

[woeful flume]

cause my only guarenteed mon in pignite rn

[wispy kernel]

nothing because ampharos is perfection

[spare roost]

If you want the electric to remain then there is Eelektross

[jade ocean]

I still want an Electric type, but Ampharos being an Electric type is why I don't want it, Electric types have barely any coverage

And only having 1 STAB stings

WHERE IS THE FUCKING DRAGON PULSE TM AAAAAAA-

[woeful flume]

i stole it

[jade ocean]

I know it exists

I know it's TM 75

But nobody knows where TM 75 is

[woeful flume]

have you tried behind THE building

[jade ocean]

Which building

[woeful flume]

the building

you know, in that one area with the thing

[jade ocean]

Bruh

Anyways technically Ampharos has Breaking Swipe

But a Base 60 power move from 95 Attack on a Pokemon with 165 SpA?

At that point just use Dazzling Gleam for those Dragons

[woeful flume]

yeah if it can get it

[jade ocean]

It can

I've been using it

I'd rather have Dragon Pulse but it's better than nothing I guess??

[woeful flume]

fair but thats only good for dragons while dazzling is good for that and more

just a weaker bp

and now its been 2 whole day and night cycles looking for this shiny gastly

[jade ocean]

OK but like

Dragon Pulse has effectively 127.5 BP on Mega Ampharos

I'd be a fucking idiot to willingly run Dazzling Gleam over Dragon Pulse

On a Dragon type

That will have STAB on Dragon Pulse boosting it to 127.5 BP

[woeful flume]

true i forgot mega ampharos is dragon

[solar oriole]

So, did it ever turn out that there was an actual reason for the legendary AZ to show up, or is it just a "Ah. You see, it's a reference." bit without any substance? (Don't need to spoil anything. I'm just wondering if I should not hope for a good reason.)

[indigo mango]

legendary AZ?

like the guy? or what

AZ is a character from Kalos, so why wouldnt he be in a Game in Kalos

[gray canopy]

is legends za good

[hazy knot]

yes

i dont have it yet though

[solar oriole]

Yeah, the character. 3000 years old. Started the pokemon war. Tied to mega evolutions. Is he "simply there" or is there a reason?

[indigo mango]

eh

[solar oriole]

Good is a hard line to cross. But it's not bad. Definitely plenty to complain about. But it's not bad.

[indigo mango]

the bad graphics are obvious, tho like soemwtimes they just straight up have the terrible graphics right in your face for some reason, it not being turn based combat anymore just feels icky to me aswell, you kinda always feel rushed even when capturing, to the point i gotta make sure to select the ball i wanna use way before i even start a fight cause during a fight, its too hectic to select a ball

[gray canopy]

ive watched a few reviews thats kind of what ive herd

[solar oriole]

It not being turned based was basically the only reason why I tried it. Finally, they are trying to do something new.

And it is a reasonably competent system.

[indigo mango]

xcv

[gray canopy]

when i saw it was literally one location i knew i was probably not getting it

are the megas at least cool or is it like scarlett violet where you had to grind to make the gimmick work

[indigo mango]

i mean pokemon is a turn based battle game...thats its genre, for legends thats whatever sicne legends is a unqiue thing but if they where to do it for an actual gen then naah

[indigo mango]

lul ye the map is very small

[spare roost]

Out of the few I’ve seen like 1/5 hit

The rest just suck

[indigo mango]

not like you can explore much the first like 2 hours is handheld tutorial where you cant explore anything

[gray canopy]

oh god thats what they need to change most about pokemon

[solar oriole]

The monologues are fucking annoying

[gray canopy]

in another chat me and some people are literally talking about how every game is 5 hours of tutorial before anything happens

[solar oriole]

Like, even as kids, we could figure out how to play a pokemon game.

We don't need this endless monologue

[gray canopy]

i got scarlet and violet but i never started violet because it was too much talking

[indigo mango]

i mean i play for the story so whatever i know how to read and enjoy doing so, i just didnt like the walls, where if i walked too far i would have to deal with a short cutscene saying you cant go there

[gray canopy]

yeah i watched one review that was talking about the tiny cutscenes being annoying

[indigo mango]

do the walls but dont have me be stuck waiting for my phone to open just to have to press a again for taunie to say "hey did you forget about that thing"

like one time where she was like "well you have fun getting your capture reward im going somewhere" i was like eyy i can explore...only for her to call saying "get your reward"

[gray canopy]

im excited to see champions come out

[jade ocean]

The game forces you to go on a more streamlined path for too long methinks

[indigo mango]

only pokemon game i wont get

[jade ocean]

Like c'mon let me explore the entire map and suddenly become 20 levels overleveled

[indigo mango]

just straight up the one part that i dont enjoy in pokemon lul. battling

[jade ocean]

I'd say he has his priorities

But I don't see him smelling any Pokemon currently

So he really doesn't

[indigo mango]

yeah he wants to but cant

talking about uneeded dialogue...the pokeball finder guy. like yeah he has been pretty useful to me for getting my balls back....but for fucks sake you dont have to keep repeating over and over and over again what you do...i fucking know

[jade ocean]

My favourite part about ZA has to be the Rogue Megas

[unborn elm]

OHHH KAY

current thoughts on Z-A right now?

Amazing

Also I tried shiny hunting the alpha lit Leo and fletching but found a normal shiny litleo

A shinies a shiny tho

And it took Like 5 minutes

So not much of a time waste

And this old ass man is tall as FUCK

HOLY SHIT

https://tenor.com/view/zoro-miles-morales-miles-shocked-surprise-gif-13646668700392851337

[indigo mango]

is that just an old screenshot..cause how would you shiny hunt before even chekcing into the hotel

which btw did weird me out, we def did not purchase a room there...so did we get the room for free...what happend to our actual reservation..or was our character just planning to sleep on the streets

[woeful flume]

yes as everyone else does

[indigo mango]

well we know there are other hotels. and the benches are anti homeless

[woeful flume]

i only just noticed that lmao

[solar oriole]

I do like having Protect and Detect on my mons - at least conceptually. The game isn't hard, but still get to pretend like you're doing something skillful by blocking the big attacks

[woeful flume]

fr

[indigo mango]

the game not having pp feels weird but im also glad it doesnt

it really feels like it requires spamming attacks, especially if they just straight up hit like a wall or something

do healing moves even exist cause that seems broken

[solar oriole]

There's Absorb

[woeful flume]

draining kiss too

[jade ocean]

Heal Block exists

And if it only existed to block HP Draining moves that'd be a bit lame

[solar oriole]

May not have gotten a shiny, but my HP sparkles.

[native sundial]

Hey i have a question to everyone is have a extra digital copy for pokemon Z-A for switch2 i want to know who have the switch2 but not the game yet i repeat who have switch2 but not the game yet

No one?

[flat edge]

Eewww Switch 2

[native sundial]

[eternal patio]

👀

[indigo mango]

for anyone who is firther in, do more clothes get unlocked later or is what you see what you get

mostly asking for bags..cause lik 40 stores later still didnt find a good looking bag

also man wtf are these free X and Y clothes. they are so low quality its ewww. just disgusting looking how low quality they look, like they never got around to finish making them

[solar oriole]

So.... is there a jump button I'm not aware of for these scaffold platform things?

[charred sage]

the gathering

[eternal patio]

i dont have the game yet

[solar oriole]

It's fun to see people walking their pokemon. But... 90% of the NPCs just sit around and stare at the wall.

Like, it's not that hard to put in a basic bit of wander AI.

[opaque osprey]

Seeing the npc just standing on the spot with their arms at the side keep on making me think they’re T-posing

[sinful dagger]

internet being unhelpful. Can I send mons from Home to AZ?

[jade ocean]

You should be able to send mons from HOME to ZA

However, the reverse is impossible

[sinful dagger]

any idea how? :')

I havent been able to figure it out

i want my shiby venipeeede

[jade ocean]

You can't? I guess that means HOME compatability isn't available yet

[sinful dagger]

:( aw...

[jade ocean]

Which tbf I should've expected

Same happened for every previous game, no?

[sinful dagger]

no idea, first time i was gonna try

thanks for the response anyways tho

anyone find a shiny yet

[jade ocean]

Apart from the guaranteed Marrep, I've found 2. One yesterday, and another the day before that.

OK in my defence

That typo was me misclicking

E is very close to R

[sturdy flower]

no, Blaines did

[opaque osprey]

Possible but not now

Available in 2026

[jade ocean]

If I'm being honest I can't fucking remember what my 2nd shiny is

I am not using either shiny rn

But I did use Shiny Bunnelby, my 1st shiny, for a bit

[jade ocean]

Huh, could've sworn that we wouldn't be able to bring ZA mons to other games

Well, I guess bringing them to Home isn't technically bringing them to other games

Tbh I feel like if I said my actual opinions on the ZA Megas I'd be publicly hung

In this server I mean

The chance to get publicly hung for opinions in a Pokemon server increases with the member count

[olive panther]

It does also say on the ZA page about Home support that mons won't be backwards transferable. At least it did yesterday.

[tame wraith]

LETS GOOOOO! MY FIRST SHINY!

[forest egret]

So where's the "pokemon don't poop they just turn food into energy" people now after this game dropped

[jade ocean]

Why did people even think that btw

Guzzlord's dex entry notes that it doesn't shit

Implying that Pokemon do usually poop

Though maybe Guzzlord doesn't shit because it is shit

Guzzlord rolls world's worst stat spread, asked to leave OU

[forest egret]

Darumaka poops too

Because people keep its hot fireball turds in their pants according to the dex

Fucked up world these people live in

[robust wren]

Turtonator poops too
The poop even explodes

[autumn torrent]

Bruh

Mane was spamming that ish

[jade ocean]

Magikarp Hydro Pump can almost OHKO you btw

I think Hydro + any other move would KO the player

Apart from Status moves ofc

[autumn torrent]

TKo a few of my mons

Got 32 Alpha so far

[jade ocean]

And Alphas uhh

Love targeting the player

A lot

So I hope you're ready to hide behind a tree or dodge

[robust wren]

Imagine being the trainer that gets knocked out by a Magikarp

[autumn torrent]

Thankfully theres a roll button lol

[robust wren]

I feel like that just gets you ridiculed for life

[autumn torrent]

Never evoling this magikarp

Secret Weapon

[autumn torrent]

Bruh If I seen it during a Tourney lol

[jade ocean]

Unironically I found it harder to fight than every other Alpha

Simply because those Hydro Pumps hurt like hell

Well, apart from the Alphas that gank the shit out of you

3 fucking Alpha Pyroars (and 3 non Alphas)

And an additionally Skarmory

And 3 Diggersby

And an Alpha Mawile

But that one's thankfully on a different elevation

I hope you've killed some of the Pyroars and the Diggersbies already

I almost got cooked by the Earth Power spam

But managed to make it out of the wild zone alive as an exit is placed near those Alphas

[radiant otter]

i almost got knocked out by a kakuna lmao

thats almost worse

[noble ice]

Day 1 of legends ZA

[sacred harbor]

Chat how do I get on the roof of passage du palais (pokecentre top of map) there’s a shiny up there

[sinful dagger]

The length of the tutorial really killed my enthusiasm, but I think I'm free now

[sacred harbor]

😭 they keep showing you stuff in the tutorial and then like you walk over and they call you bro, made me hate rotom phone

[sinful dagger]

wonder what the shiny odds are. I was gonna trade over a shiny venipede from home, but if I can farm one in a reasonable amount of time then maybe I can salvage this

I kind of want to make a bug themed team

[dire plume]

Found a massive bug

Pretty game breaking tbh

[storm bone]

My ZA order is arriving today
Amazon prediction was way of (24th)

[slate loom]

Anyone know how to respawn alphas? I wanted to catch an Alpha Goomey and it hasn't respawned yet ;3;

[fickle birch]

How does the game run on the Switch 1? I'm getting the Switch 2 version (preorder has not yet arrived), but I'm nosy. 🙂

[daring finch]

Guys does anybody know if there’s any traversal mechanics that get unlocked later cuz there’s a roof I see no way to get too at all

(A shiny spawned on it)

[daring finch]

Yes

You got the rotom glide yet?

[sacred harbor]

Naw

[daring finch]

Just keep playing youll get it naturally

[sacred harbor]

Bet bet, you my goat tho thx

[daring finch]

Np man

[spare roost]

can you believe that this is a fighting type expert

[daring finch]

Hey dont cover a book by its judge

[storm bone]

I started the game and a girl said she is surprised the airport is so far from illumis it’s just like Paris for real 😮

[scarlet dawn]

XY: we didn't do Mega Flygon because we couldn't think of a good enough design.
ORAS: we didn't do Mega Flygon because we couldn't think of a good enough design.
LZA: we didn't do Mega Flygon because we couldn't think of a good enough design.
Also LZA: (mega spoilers) ||Starmie with longer legs and pyroar but with more hair||

[daring finch]

Also X AND Y

[daring finch]

Having an alpha mega victreebell might be one of the best things ever ngl

[scarlet dawn]

no matter how long i look at this city i can't tell any of it apart from eachother

[indigo mango]

Just buildings pushed together. Windows that are covered. Doors that can't open cause a walls in the way....Just perfection

You are expected to walk on roofs and jump from entire buildings to get around

Wild Zones that cover a Graveyard so people can't even mourn. The Pokecenters are unfinished with only 1 wall painted

The city builders cooked

[storm bone]

Free hotel room!

[indigo mango]

Only if you also canceled the hotel room you where supposed to get lul

[storm bone]

Realistic

[daring finch]

Are the walls in paris also 2d?

[storm bone]

As a French I’m forced by law to not disclose this information

[heavy oriole]

Quick question, where can I find an Alpha Scraggy?

The sewers has so few spawns and I haven’t even seen an alpha of anything down there

[daring finch]

I got the mega gayninjite

[daring finch]

How far are you in the game?

[fierce snow]

Is anyone playing online switch one

[daring finch]

Nah switch 2

[heavy oriole]

Just finished chatting with the rust leader for the first time

[daring finch]

Idk maybe a wild area with alpha scraggy or scraft may appear

[heavy oriole]

Does he even spawn in a wild area?

[daring finch]

Yes I have caught him in one

[heavy oriole]

Which one?

[daring finch]

In a battle rn gimme a sec to look

[tepid moss]

Man, magikarp sure are dumb

[daring finch]

I forgot to look

Hm I cant find it

Did I find mine outside a wild area maybe

Blue sector 8

[supple fern]

When do you unlock Mega Stones? (What rank at least? Currently at W)

[daring finch]

Rank K

Iirc

[light agate]

this is great game so far but I worry the battle zone - battle - rank up will get repetitive eventually

though that was also a problem with legends arceus I assume

[daring finch]

You got the shiny mareep?

[light agate]

No, I’ve only played to rank V so far, trying not to overload my brain

[daring finch]

But you know how to get it?

Oh my dinner is here

[noble ice]

Hey, this might be an interesting question but I have a haunter and I don’t think there are link chords in the game, so could anyone help me evolve it by trading?

[spare roost]

one of these the game just gives you

[lime compass]

I got a shiny litleo but it isn’t even that rare since there is a whole method to get it

[idle dove]

ik. A shiny's a shiny though

[spare roost]

my trying to give all the sidequest guys shiny alphas

since that one quest in Legends Arceus, if you give the guy a shiny alpha wurmple you can see it next to him the entire time

[storm bone]

Oh my they decorated sewer plates just like in Japan, I wish we had these in the real Paris

[plucky escarp]

I got to rank U in my first match lol

[dim plover]

What does it meannnnn

What does looker have to do with the plot of pokemon

gang how do i get access to fossil reviving

[storm bone]

Okay no , curry croissant should be a crime

[dim plover]

so real

[storm bone]

In x and y it was his bureau

[daring finch]

Keep playing they give a gengar later on

[dim plover]

i never played X and Y

theres a new girl running it now

[daring finch]

But @noble ice if you really want one rn I can help ya

[dim plover]

gang do i give this woman my pikachu for a heracross

[noble ice]

Sounds good i’ll send you a MD

[charred sage]

late but in XY he's the focus of the postgame subplot and he basically hands the place over to a younger her at the end of it

actually dang this is looker's first non-masters appearance since... 2017 I think?

since he wasn't in gens 8 or 9

[spare roost]

he was in the bdsp remakes

dont quote me on that, i think i saw him there

[charred sage]

let me check

I don't see anything for BDSP but he did debut in platinum so fair mistake

[daring finch]

I have a very nice team

[plain wharf]

Need a shiny pikachu before I can continue the story, heracross isn’t worth a normal rat

[daring finch]

Interesting pov

[plain wharf]

I spent 20 minutes soft resetting for a normal dratini I found on a roof

wasn’t even shiny

[daring finch]

Damn you can get dratini early?

[plain wharf]

Yeah, hard to catch though

it’s like even 19ish

[daring finch]

I mean dont get me wrong I like my current team

Very good typings aswell 4 poison types

I have 2 shinies but one I dont use cuz fuck simisage

[storm bone]

Ah yes Paris is known for its open air graveyard

Why do you even turn it into a wild zone

[plain wharf]

yeah why the hell did they make a graveyard a wild zone

[daring finch]

Gastly kept showing up?

[plain wharf]

sorry grandma can’t visit without being mugged by a ghost

[daring finch]

Tbh I think youre getting mugged by grandma

[sacred harbor]

@daring finch i got the roto glider like 1 hour later 😭 found the shiny

[daring finch]

Atleast you got it

[sacred harbor]

fr first shiny (other then the mareep from the quest)

[plain wharf]

I have like 3 of these dudes already

[storm bone]

If you guys wonder why there’s so many mushrooms is because we have a variety of mushrooms named (translated to English ) mushroom of Paris

[daring finch]

I havent seen a single one

[tepid moss]

I just spent all my money on clothing. Good thing there's nothin else I need to spend it on

[daring finch]

Mega stones

[tepid moss]

I have a feeling I'll have more money by the time I gotta worry about those

[daring finch]

I reccommend stop listening to your feelings

[unborn elm]

Shalpha fletchling!!!!!

My 2nd ever shalpha baby

Full odds too

Well I mean I was just going back and forth

But still!

[plain wharf]

don’t stones cost those pink gems

[daring finch]

Not all

Some like mega gengar cost real money

[spare roost]

Depressed girl and their baby

[daring finch]

Zamn

I am rocking an emo vibe that fits well with my ace (Pangoro)

Sadly I had to change my outfit for a bit

On the bright side I get to make a more matching outfit with gengar

[tepid moss]

I don't know what to call my look

[daring finch]

Scottish

[tepid moss]

Works for me

[jade ocean]

Because the mfs making them are sick and twisted

[daring finch]

Outfits aint cheap

[indigo mango]

Imma hope the wild mega battles are not needed. Just did the story Absol one and God that sucked so much

[sacred harbor]

👀

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[indigo mango]

Having to constantly press down ZL just so it attacks is ass when I also gotta run around collection some shit. Especially when my own mon unmegas so fast and sometimes doesn't even hit for some reason

Died around 4 times

[daring finch]

I hate how it keeps coming after me

Like dude leave me the fuck alone

[sacred harbor]

you cant like run while attacking either

or dodge

[indigo mango]

Also wish it told you better if your mon can mega. Sometimes didnt notice or sometimes It didn't even mega evolve even tho i pressed it

[daring finch]

Its in the bottom right corner

It starts showing when you can mega

I also dont like the nights

The cutscenes are really annoying

[sacred harbor]

can mega vs cant mega

[jaunty comet]

I like the boss fights. it brings difficulty into the game which makes it entertaining

[daring finch]

I aint difficult more annoying

[carmine pike]

can anyone help me evolve my haunter

please

[daring finch]

You get gengar later on

[carmine pike]

when, like in a wild zone?

[daring finch]

As part of a mainline quest

But I can help you if you want one rn

[wispy kernel]

can confirm I just caught two gengar like 10 minutes ago

[carmine pike]

Yes please

[sturdy flower]

do you have online?

[carmine pike]

Yes

[sturdy flower]

alright good

[daring finch]

Gayninjite

[carmine pike]

Oh you already have the mega stone?? nicee

[sturdy flower]

is the next one Delphox or chesnaught

[daring finch]

(Idk where to get froakie🔥 )

[carmine pike]

It’s a early side quest

[daring finch]

Like chespin?

[carmine pike]

I already have a frogidear

[carmine pike]

yea

all 3 are early side quests

[sturdy flower]

all wild zone mons

at least the ones that count towards completion

others can spawn occasionally

[daring finch]

Mfer

Why is my boy that late game

[indigo mango]

i am aware, but having to always look down thewre will im trying to also collect stuff and fight and dodge is not fun

[sturdy flower]

oh hell yeah Delphox is next

[daring finch]

I want chestnaught

[sturdy flower]

gotta wait until season 3

[daring finch]

I am one of the 5 people that like it more

[carmine pike]

so uh, about that haunter trade evo

[indigo mango]

also did my first mega fight with absol. probably not gonna use megas in this game, micro managing the powr is not fun to me

[daring finch]

Code 69420690

Very mature of me

[sturdy flower]

megas are like the main thing the entire game revolves around

[indigo mango]

absol also died in that taunie fight luuul but Emboar beat her Mega Menatric

in like one shot

[indigo mango]

eh, i hate how its done

if it really gets too dependend on it, imma just watch soemone else finish the game

[sacred harbor]

whats the requirements to get this?

[daring finch]

Reach rank K online

[indigo mango]

absol died before even meeting the mega, not sure what happend, probably bugged out and couldnt attack anymore like thats been the case

[carmine pike]

thank youu!!!!

[daring finch]

Np

Still no wild zone with ma boi

[sacred harbor]

are we able to change our rotom cases or naw

[daring finch]

||Drampa||

[indigo mango]

mines gonna evolve soon into a chesnaught

chespin is early early game

like i got as almost my 5th mon total

[daring finch]

I got one

[indigo mango]

also i dunno if thats set or not but every starter exept froakie was a female, including my tepig.

[daring finch]

I want the mega

[sacred harbor]

my froakie and feraligatr are male

[daring finch]

Lowk want a shiny falinks

[indigo mango]

i have a shiny in the game but like its the sidequest one so it wouldnt count

[daring finch]

I have 2

[indigo mango]

also also, after the mega event, some of my moves now have a C+ behind em and the game didnt explain what that means so not sure

[daring finch]

Pansage and beedrill

[daring finch]

I am also not sure and I am way further into the game

[sacred harbor]

do you want me to explain it or the game

[indigo mango]

i mean i douhbt its story spoilers lul

[sacred harbor]

you skipped it cuz it explained it before

[indigo mango]

so yeah

[sacred harbor]

so bassically if you mega evolve using any move makes it that plus move

and it deals hella more damage esp when super effective

but

[indigo mango]

i havent done anything after the mega taunie fight

ah

why C tho-oooh critial plus

[sacred harbor]

you can use one of the sections of the mega meter by hitting the + button on your controller to use a plus move even if its not mega evolved

[indigo mango]

oh god ew more button pressing

[sacred harbor]

its kinda useless tbh cuz i just noramlly wait for the mega to get more value idk

[indigo mango]

for now my emboar one shot her mega manetric so imma just wait if i ever really need megas, with the way battling in this game is. i just have no enjoyment making a team and fighting together, i prefer just calm turn based where i can calmly decide..not just buttin mash and always think of what to do n that moment, so imma just use Emboar and try and get him toiugh enough

[wispy kernel]

has anybody found a pansage

please

I need one

[daring finch]

I can look for ya

[sacred harbor]

ive got 1

[indigo mango]

isnt it in one of the wild zones?. the map tells you what mons are in a wild zone

[sacred harbor]

ik where all 3 spawn tho

[daring finch]

I HATE THE FUCKING FROAKIES

[radiant otter]

i think they are in trees in the streets

[indigo mango]

mm

[radiant otter]

if memory serves correctly

[sacred harbor]

there was all 3 on the roof and a aplha pansage

[jade ocean]

||- Sees a terrorist and the defender of the ecosystem walk into the room||
||- Terrorists demands for someone to fight the defender of the ecosystem to save the city from crisis||
||- "I don't care I just want to go home"||
||She just like me fr||

[nova ginkgo]

Can someone help me trade evolve my kadabra?

[sacred harbor]

do pokemon even have abilities in this game?

[indigo mango]

i never checked

[sacred harbor]

im not seeing any

[charred sage]

I don't believe so

[daring finch]

No

[sacred harbor]

ivor lowkey peak character

[daring finch]

Okay I am gonna crash out

I have been trying to catch a froakie for half an hour

[sacred harbor]

bro theres a quest to get one for free

[daring finch]

Meh

[indigo mango]

feel free to spoil, do we ever get to see that vtuber/idol/the daughter of the old construction worker? it feels weird to buy merch of a person that i have no context for

[daring finch]

Yes

[sacred harbor]

yes

[indigo mango]

[sacred harbor]

it feels like they added her cuz eveyone liked lono or wtv from sv

[indigo mango]

well Iono is also in the game. atleast a fan of hers

makes me wodner tho if shes like a 0 viewer kinda streamer, cause seems only her dad sells merch and by the look of his warehouse the merch isnt selling lul

[daring finch]

Okay where is this froakie quest

[daring finch]

She isnt

I wont say more

[indigo mango]

uhhhhh its one of the parkopur challenges

[sacred harbor]

ill show you once im out of the sewer

[indigo mango]

not that this helps, but i mean just check through all the sidequests on the map, it should already be on your map sicne its an early game one

[daring finch]

NVM YA BOY CAUGHT IT

[sacred harbor]

W

W

W

[indigo mango]

oh what ya caught

[sacred harbor]

froakie

[indigo mango]

it just joins you tho

or are there also wild ones

[daring finch]

This one is pretty wild

[indigo mango]

ah interesting

i just did the parkour stuff

[daring finch]

I had to bushcamp for it

[indigo mango]

but it wasnt even hard, there was way too much time given

i even fell done once and tgot back up ij time

[daring finch]

Why make it easy when things can be done the hard way

[sacred harbor]

by that logic just hack froakie into the game if you want it

[daring finch]

Hey I want froakie not a bricked switch 2

[storm bone]

A lady’s hair is clipping into her suit , game is unplayable now

[indigo mango]

lots of clipping in the game lul

the zygarde cell was clipping into the floor during its intro cutscene lul

[daring finch]

Its a ghost type mega

Finally my mega gengar can come in handy

Perish song is a thing

[sacred harbor]

no way

[daring finch]

Every pokemon that hears it will perish in a while unless the switch out

Anyone know where a dawn stone is

[wispy kernel]

||yes||

[daring finch]

NO WAY

I GOT A NEW MEGA SHINY

[sacred harbor]

What one

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/spirit-fingers-sparky-polastri-bring-it-on-gif-5983698

https://tenor.com/view/hands-loop-many-freaky-gif-7736587

[sacred harbor]

Mmm ok

[solar oriole]

Oh boy. That balcony is so well rendered

[sacred harbor]

Barbaricle

[daring finch]

You won

I mean its still binacle

But not for long

[sacred harbor]

Need me a shiny scraggy 🙏

[daring finch]

I want shiny gengar above all things

[sacred harbor]

He’s tuff fr

[daring finch]

I have one in my pokemon home but cant transfer it

[sacred harbor]

Rip

[hazy knot]

legends za finally arrived 🙏

[indigo mango]

poggies

[daring finch]

Join the brainrot

[sacred harbor]

this game would be like sooooooooooooo much better with voice acting

[daring finch]

True

But I think just japanese

[sacred harbor]

what you only want japanese voice acting?

[daring finch]

Yeah

[sacred harbor]

ehhhhhhh

[daring finch]

Like Anime

[sacred harbor]

i watch stuff dubbed so

[daring finch]

I mean doing 10 languages isnt really worth it

Bc youll need to find people for multiple npcs aswell

[sacred harbor]

english is its largest audience

[daring finch]

You sure?

[sacred harbor]

they have the money for it they just dont budget

pretty sure ya

[daring finch]

I think English is a big part of it but I think most people choose english cuz their native language aint available

[sacred harbor]

english rules the interent

[hazy knot]

so i read the package wrong but it should actually be coming in a few hours 😭

[daring finch]

Fam

Lowkey

This bitch is pissing me off

[sacred harbor]

?

[daring finch]

Eh the rich one

[sacred harbor]

uhm

im in the rust thing rn

[daring finch]

Ah youll see

[daring finch]

Atleast her maid is hot

[sacred harbor]

💀

[solar oriole]

I do enjoy that you can freely swap in and out moves a pokemon can learn, and even has a dedicated "These are TM moves you have that this pokemon can learn," so you don't need to either open the wiki or check blindly.

[indigo mango]

me about Taunie

[daring finch]

Who tf is taunie

[sacred harbor]

the rival with the other starters

😭

[daring finch]

Ah

I picked the female avatar

So mines Urbain

[light agate]

im so swag

[daring finch]

My fit based on mega gengar

[light agate]

im also constantly being beat up by alphas

[daring finch]

The blue jacket is purple

[hazy knot]

legends za came in fr this time, and i got a chikorita pin got the switch one version without even realizing it but whatever

[indigo mango]

you can upgrade but it costs extra

still wild tho, i got the game for 50 while in the online store it was over 60

[hazy knot]

i got the physical version, so idk if i can do that

[plucky escarp]

Genuinely amazed how easy MP was to get to K rank, did not lose a game, 6 in a row

Thought it'd be sweaty af

[daring finch]

I lost and had to do like 10 games

Fucking hacked pokemon

[plucky escarp]

10? Jeeez

[sacred harbor]

LOL

[plucky escarp]

Hacked mons already? Haven't seen any ywt

[sacred harbor]

does it drop your lvl to 50?

[plucky escarp]

Mega Gyara and Garchomp kinda just kill everything man

Yeah 50

[sacred harbor]

how many mons you get?

[plucky escarp]

3

[daring finch]

Or this person actually ran into shiny alpha magikarp, Shiny alpha beldum and shiny alpha ralts

[plucky escarp]

Never found a 3rd slot that meshed with my other two, didn't really need it. Delphox was the best candidate

[daring finch]

Same goes for gengar

[plucky escarp]

Yikes

[plucky escarp]

Only just this second caught a gengar

As you were typing lol

Swords Dance and Dig on garchomp is seriously funny

Insta kill

Can't dodge

[jade ocean]

Just did a side mission that was actually kinda difficult

With a 15 level lead no less

Tbf, it was literally 30 fucking Pokemon in a row

[unborn elm]

2nd ever Shalpha (took like 10 minutes of hunting to find)

[jade ocean]

Featuring Rocky Helmet Skarmory, Life Orb Dragalge, Mega Tyranitar and others

[plucky escarp]

Whilst very unlikely at this early stage, I will say shiny hunting in this game is easy

[jade ocean]

You can't heal at all during this 30 Pokemon gauntlet btw

[plucky escarp]

Got my shiny karp in 20 minutes, not alpha though

[unborn elm]

I had done the wild area 3 shiny hunting thing and have gotten a normal shiny litleo and shalpha fletchling

[plucky escarp]

I haven't tried that yet, aware of it though

[unborn elm]

Both took like 5-10 minutes to get

[daring finch]

I dont want those shinies

[plucky escarp]

Not fussed about the mons theretbh

[daring finch]

I would like pancham but eh

[unborn elm]

Shiny mega pyroar tho

[sacred harbor]

mega pyroar buns imo

[daring finch]

Shiny mega what if we give jt slightly more hair

[unborn elm]

Ikr

Like 80% of the new megas were so lazily designed

Meganium is just more flower

[daring finch]

Man if I didnt know it was mega you couldve convinced me it was a regional

[unborn elm]

Feraligatr is just a toilet

[daring finch]

Feraligatr is cool

[plucky escarp]

I didn't like any of the starters tbh, dropped mine completely

Waiting on delphox stone

[unborn elm]

Talking about the mega

There’s also

[daring finch]

The mega is cool

[unborn elm]

Dawg

Only when it attacks

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-rock-long-legs-spongebob-spinning-gif-15932840

[unborn elm]

Other then that it’s a literal skibidi toilet thing

Yea starmie

“Let’s just give it legs and call it a mega”

Barbarical if I butchered that just turns racist

[sacred harbor]

so youd rather the mouth be shut the whole time 😭

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/frieza-pose-menacing-dragonballfighterz-dragon-ball-fighterz-gif-27469236

[unborn elm]

Or a diffrent design all together

[daring finch]

Lowkey barbaracle kinda zesty

[unborn elm]

It hits the Frieza pose

[daring finch]

Frieza is also zesty

[unborn elm]

And by a deduction the mega makes it racist

[plucky escarp]

Anyone think of any ghost types that learn detect in ZA?

[unborn elm]

Since Frieza is racist

https://tenor.com/view/c00lkidd-coolkidd-forsaken-coolkid-c00lkid-gif-15550260613168611792

[unborn elm]

It just turns gold

That’s all

[forest egret]

Yeah I would actually. If that was the default it'd work better as a design

[sacred harbor]

💀 your lowkey just hating to hate at this point

[plucky escarp]

I did like Falinks mega

[unborn elm]

Nah I like mega barbaracle

[jade ocean]

I fucking love how Barbaracle is just permanently aurafarming

[unborn elm]

Just pointing that out lol

[forest egret]

It's a joke about how frieza is racist in dragon ball

[unborn elm]

It’s hitting the Frieza(the racist) pose

https://tenor.com/view/frieza-freeza-gif-15684116375828902332

[sacred harbor]

uhm thats assuming the bottom arms are its orignal ones

[wooden lion]

||Mega Scrafty tho||

[unborn elm]

It’s a yn

[daring finch]

Ah yes a round hood is racist

[unborn elm]

The way it’s stanced up and how it wears the thing

Idk

I’m not black so I can’t talk

https://tenor.com/view/eating-c00lkidd-c00lkid-coolkidd-coolkid-gif-2237299046108020841

[wooden lion]

I do like this final look, but I kinda wish it was more like the leaked drawing we had

[wooden lion]

I am mainly joking but my friend says it looks like it’s part of a certain group and I’ll leave it there

[unborn elm]

Oh-

Is it a certain group that starts with kk

[sacred harbor]

yes

[wooden lion]

Ye

[daring finch]

Kool kids klub

[forest egret]

You guys can stop talking now

[unborn elm]

?

[wooden lion]

Uh, rule 7 I think ?

[forest egret]

I kinda don't, that image they made was just regular barbaracle but he has more arms

[unborn elm]

Lemme go read

[wooden lion]

Ye fair, but I kinda liked it

Final design isn’t bad

[plucky escarp]

Do we think this for a set will work in MP, its funny but probably too slow
Mega Sableye
Detect, Protect, Recover, Curse

[wooden lion]

Nvm it’s rule 8

[daring finch]

Youre gonna get jumped by all 3

[unborn elm]

Mb bro

https://tenor.com/view/eating-c00lkidd-c00lkid-coolkidd-coolkid-gif-2237299046108020841

[wooden lion]

Nah it’s on me

[plucky escarp]

Probably, so funny if I single someone out though

[daring finch]

I have to work in 6 hours

Lowkey forgot

[wooden lion]

Anyways, I’m finally glad you can have two toned hair in ZA

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/tesla-and-einstein-luma-ai-gif-14475294631445060178

Ngl bro

So far it’s just been

Get promotion match
Win
Go battle zone/run around
Fight promotion match
Win
Dialogue
Repeat

[wooden lion]

My only issue with ZA was the fact the files got dumped online like, 2 weeks before

[plucky escarp]

Honestly it gave me time to try before I buy

I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise

[wooden lion]

More the fact it spoiled everything and ruined a lot of stuff for ppl

[plucky escarp]

Fair

[wooden lion]

Also is it true that Pachirisu isn’t in the dex?

[plucky escarp]

I saw some spoilers defo, hiatused for it so stop reading the chat, but I kept 70% spoiler free I think

I haven't seen one

[wooden lion]

Well looks like I’m not buying ZA then

(This is a joke)

[narrow tide]

all of the budget went into two toned hair

[plucky escarp]

Truth

[wooden lion]

Was kinda hoping they gave Pach a regional variant, evo or a mega. Maybe with the DLC the pika clones could get something but it’s mostly likely just Raichu

[light agate]

I’m more frustrated by the selection of hairstyle tbh

[wooden lion]

Good, best feature. Hope they keep it in all future games

Like it is just an expressive choice, but it’s good for player agency

[daring finch]

Yup

Clothing is also lacking

Imo

Its usually like "Omg I love this piece... aaaaand its not in the color I want"

[light agate]

all I want is to have the hair of a gundam femboy pilot is that too much to ask

[sacred harbor]

yes

[wooden lion]

I think the Alola games had the best selection of clothing, while SV had some of the best hair styles

[unborn elm]

Dude I got spoiled that someone was in this game from a fucking YouTube shorts thumbnail

Not saying who to avoid spoilers for others

[plucky escarp]

That shit genuinely annoys me

[unborn elm]

Like dude

[brazen jetty]

I want to make a tier list of the new megas

[unborn elm]

Or it might have been a pic from this channel

[brazen jetty]

and maybe also the old ones too

[unborn elm]

If yes then that’s my fault

[plucky escarp]

Usability or vibes?

[unborn elm]

For clicking on it

[brazen jetty]

Designs

[unborn elm]

Since it had the spoiler warning

https://tenor.com/view/yamcha-yamcha-death-pose-yamcha-dead-yamcha-on-the-ground-yamcha-sleeping-gif-15816799

[brazen jetty]

Cuz some of the new ones are very questionable imo

[plucky escarp]

Nice way of putting it

[brazen jetty]

Specifically ||Pyroar??? It looks so dumb 😭 ||

[unborn elm]

Mega victerybell gets its own tier”fat plant”

[brazen jetty]

I love mega victreebel

[unborn elm]

Exactly

[plucky escarp]

Gatr: Skibidi Tier

[sacred harbor]

i understand starimie cuz like they make different designs to appeal to diff ppl but mega pyrour is ass

[brazen jetty]

I think it's my favorite out of all of them

Which is not what I would have thought because before this Victreebel was just a meh Pokémon for me

[unborn elm]

STARMIE?

Dawg they just gave it legs

That’s literally all

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-rock-long-legs-spongebob-spinning-gif-15932840

[plucky escarp]

The starmie running animation fucking kills me

[daring finch]

The goofy designs arent done right

[brazen jetty]

||Starmie also sucks imo yeah||

[plucky escarp]

I haven't seen it in my own game yet but damn

[sacred harbor]

its goofy tho for the ppl who like goofy things

[daring finch]

Have you seen watchog?

[brazen jetty]

They just stretched starmie

[plucky escarp]

No

[unborn elm]

90% of the new megas have ass designs

[wooden lion]

||Ye all they did was add the kanji for fire to its mane||

[daring finch]

Victreebell and falinks are the knly good goofy megas

[brazen jetty]

||Oh so that's why it looks so weird||

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/watchog-pokemon-normal-groundhog-meerkat-gif-26483999

[unborn elm]

Mega zygarde tho

Also uhhh

Can we talk about how

[brazen jetty]

Mega Watchog

[unborn elm]

I’m pretty sure complete form zygarde has the same base attack as TRAPINCH

[wooden lion]

||Its a bit hard to spot if you’re not familiar with Kanji, and even if you are, it took me a bit to figure that out||

[unborn elm]

100 base attack

[plucky escarp]

Honestly I just ball most mons for research and don't look too hard

[brazen jetty]

Trapinch just has high attack

[sacred harbor]

its got like 216 sp attack or smth tho

[brazen jetty]

It haa same atk as flygon

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/trapinch-gif-22983228

[unborn elm]

I’m taking about complete not mega

[plucky escarp]

Anyways lurk time, I should really finish the game before spending much time here

[sacred harbor]

oh

[brazen jetty]

but it also has 5 speed

And yes

||Mega Zygarde has 216 special attack and a 200 BASE POWER dragon special move that ignores stat boosts AND is neutral against fairy 😭||

[unborn elm]

Wait what

[wooden lion]

||Mega Starmie is a personal favorite new mega cus I believe they based it off of an ultraman kaiju||
