[unborn elm]

I knew it hits fairy and ignores stat boosts

BUT 200 BASE POWER???????

[sacred harbor]

WHAT

[unborn elm]

WHAT THE FUCK?

[sacred harbor]

ok i understand the nuke on its head now

[brazen jetty]

yes seriously

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/the-coffin-of-andy-and-leyley-tcoaal-nemlei-sack-gif-2289131321376798615

[sacred harbor]

theres like no draw backs to it?

[brazen jetty]

nope
only thing is you have to be mega to use it

[sacred harbor]

wow

[unborn elm]

WHAAAAAAT

DAWG

so

[brazen jetty]

It also has 10 pp iirc
Not even 5

[sacred harbor]

so this will never be legal

[unborn elm]

Lemme get this straight

Lemme get sum straight

A ten yr old or teen just gets a literal laser nuke deity?

With no restrictions whatsoever

https://tenor.com/view/the-coffin-of-andy-and-leyley-tcoaal-nemlei-sack-gif-2289131321376798615

Actually

[woeful carbon]

i need help deciding between mega gallade or meowstic on my team

[unborn elm]

I’ve realized something

The protags in the legends games are older then 10-11

Oh mah gawd

[brazen jetty]

even a blissey gets 2hkoed btw
Which is the highest special defense + hp period

[unborn elm]

This is wild

[sacred harbor]

mega meowstic is a thing?

[unborn elm]

No

Mega gallade or just meowstic

[sacred harbor]

oh

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-zygarde-pokémon-pokémon-legends-za-kalos-gif-3933420139227404546

[brazen jetty]

Meowstic did get some crazy buffs

[sacred harbor]

bro i keep hitting + everytime i teleport to like ride a bike 😭

[brazen jetty]

Spikes, stealth rock and toxic spikes

(Why does a psychic cat get these moves)

[jade ocean]

||Mega Zygod|| by itself wouldn't be broken

I will say that

It'd be strong in Ubers

No more, no less

Just like its base

||But some say Nihil Light is 100 BP and some say it's 200||

Well, I'm currently at B rank

So I'll be finding out soon, I reckon

[brazen jetty]

||Bulbapedia says it is 200||

[jade ocean]

The leaks said it's 100

[sacred harbor]

200 doesnt make sense

[jade ocean]

And so far, the leaks have been all correct

[sacred harbor]

its to op

[jade ocean]

That said, the leaks look at the stats of the move in the files

Including accuracy

Which as we know, doesn't exist

So maybe it has 2 different forms, the one we see being used in ZA and one that will be used outside of it

[wooden lion]

It’s most likely for champions maybe?

Or whatever the official showdown game is called

[sacred harbor]

its champions yg

[brazen jetty]

This is what I was thinking

Like the legendary plate in PLA that stayed in PLA

Just give players a fun broken thing to mess around with in the legends game that doesn't leave that game

[jade ocean]

||Mega Zygod does seem like something that'd leave the game is the thing that confuses me||

Me when the fucking spoiler text teleports

Anyways

||Nihil Light if it was 100 BP would still be balanced, too||

[unborn elm]

Wild area 3 is a inf shiny generator

[sacred harbor]

0 value

[unborn elm]

Still I like shinies:)

[jade ocean]

What are you gonna do with 3 Shalpha Fletchinders though

[unborn elm]

Idk

I’ve only gotten one

And a normal litleo

[sacred harbor]

youve posted that image multiple times tho

[jade ocean]

Then why have you posted the shalpha fletchinder photo like 3 times

[unborn elm]

Might go again later to try and get something else

Idk bro

[jade ocean]

While talking about how many shinies you're getting

[brazen jetty]

Imagine getting shinies

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-gif-6891886407904187638

I just like sending pictures

[jade ocean]

I've also gotten 2 shinies so far apart from Mareep I think?

[unborn elm]

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

dies of embarrassment

[sacred harbor]

ive gotten the mareep and a red flebebe

[brazen jetty]

My shiny luck is abysmal

[jade ocean]

Yeah, shiny Bunnelby and Budew in that order

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-memes-roblox-man-face-memes-sigma-troll-face-sigma-gif-12645035489616827445

Gona go before I get cooked even more

[brazen jetty]

I found one full odds shiny in PLA, one in Let's Go Pikachu and then none in any other games that I have played

[unborn elm]

Not my first ever shiny being the static alpha Luxray in PLA

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-monkey-puppet-meme-awkward-gif-7230416695831822604

[jade ocean]

I have like 1 or 2 shinies in SV, 2 in ZA, a shitload in LA and 0 in every other game

[unborn elm]

Ok I’m gonna go

[brazen jetty]

But tbf i did win that one Pokeathlon random battle tourney so I guess that's where all my luck goes

[jade ocean]

LA gets you so many shinies it's crazy

I'm not even a shiny hunter

And I have like a full box of them

[brazen jetty]

(i 6oed someone who plays on randbats ladder every day 😭 )

I got 1 Shiny in PLA

uhh

The cat

I can never remember which cat Pokémon is named what

It's not liepard nor meowstic

Agh
the tail is like a spring

Not purrloin
help

[sacred harbor]

purugly preevo

[woeful carbon]

statistically speaking a cat pokemon is most likely a mewoth

[woeful carbon]

glameow

[brazen jetty]

glameow

yes

I always forget that name

[woeful carbon]

I hate the mega mechanic not because it sucks but because I'm indecisive and want too many on one team along with pokemon that are also the same type as them

[plucky escarp]

Bring many

[woeful carbon]

my entire team gonna be comprised of psychic dark and ghost types 😭

[plucky escarp]

It's pretty flexible and having multiple is kinda needed forstroy if you are still doing it

[woeful carbon]

im so cooked

one bug type its over

[brazen jetty]

That's what gengar is for

[woeful carbon]

gengar can you hear me gengar devour the soul of this scizor right now

[wooden lion]

I’m not sure what my ZA team will be yet for when I do play it. I’m thinking of picking Tepig tho, I have like 3 or 4 potential mons I wanna use

[sacred harbor]

i love mega evolving at the right time to dodge moves

[brazen jetty]

I am probably not getting PLZA
but if I did I would pick Chikorita

[plucky escarp]

I'm currently using ||Gyarados, Eelektross, Garchomp, Florges, Delphox, Lucario||

[plucky escarp]

I did, but got rid of it

[brazen jetty]

(So the game doesn't have new regular evolutions, regionals, Pokémon in general?)

[plucky escarp]

I got a regional on a trade

[brazen jetty]

Like PLA had new evos and regional forms and enamorus. I guess

[charred sage]

yea ||I think just new megas which makes sense since gen 6 also introduced the least new mons of all gens alongside its megas||

[wooden lion]

||Ye ZA only gives new megas, pretty sure it was leaked that there wouldn’t be any regional forms, new evos or Pokemon||

[unborn elm]

Lemme explain so

This game only takes a couple years or something after X and Y?

Idk

But

Either it’s cus of wild zones or the pokemon haven’t gotten time to adapt to lumioise city

[sacred harbor]

that makes a lot of sense

[unborn elm]

Idk I’m making this up

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

[indigo mango]

oh ohh other question. i might just be stupid but unlike violet. can you no longer edit your face after you started the game?

cause i still didnt find any option for eye color

[woeful carbon]

you can

press X then - then ZR

[indigo mango]

in violet you could just edit your face in the clothing section of the menu. but i cant find it in this one

ah thanks imma try that later

[woeful carbon]

its a menu inside of the customization menu you have to press zr once inside it to go to thef ace customization section

[woeful carbon]

this decision wouldve been easier in x and y cause you couldnt get absols mega until postgame, galladite didnt exist and meowstic was so funny fakeout, helping hand, both screens, toxic, imprison, trick room, attract, thunderwave, trick, swagger, charm, swagger, ally switch

[wary remnant]

I JUST WANTED AN ALPHA

[woeful carbon]

||this dex is scuffed theres 3 types of pokemon: Kalos Native, Mega Evolver, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SINGLE STAGE POKEMON||

[woeful carbon]

||the pokemon that dont fit these 3 categories are Watchog, Roserade, Garbodor, Ariados, Arbok, The "X No Evil" Monkeys, Vanilluxe, Hippowdon, Krookodile||

[hazy knot]

really enjoying the game so far

[woeful carbon]

||also somehow stunfisk and delibird made it in||

[woeful carbon]

I am as well but am struggling to make decisions on pokemon to use

[hazy knot]

ic

i know a few of my team members

i chose chikorita as my starter because of the pin i got

[solar oriole]

Well... I was like "Oh, they put in 26 "boss trainers" of gradually increasing power? That's neat." No... you skip like 75% of the alphabet.

I mean, they aren't hard battles, and barely even qualify as trainers, let alone boss encounters. But still. They kinda alluded to a structure.

[solar oriole]

The xp is just so generous that, assuming you interact with the game in any way, you're always outleveling.

[rustic jacinth]

ALREADY??

[light agate]

this rogue mega bellsprout is PISSING ME OFF

[drowsy veldt]

Mega bellsprout?

(Unless you mean mega victreebel)

[indigo mango]

mega bellsprout was annoying but only cause my piugnite was out cold

alpha i mean

[tepid moss]

I'd like to note that the z rank guy was a little hard. He almost knocked out one of my mons

[reef imp]

@indigo drum

[molten pine]

Oh I was wondering about that, Watchog and Garbodor at least represent the trash side of Paris really well (I'm French I'm allowed to say Paris smells like piss )

The rest doesn't make as much sense tho

[solar oriole]

... Well, I understand why they didn't tease this mega.

I mean, it's half-decent looking when it slams down on attacking.

But wow. I'd take almost any fan design I've seen. In fact, I kinda prefer the non-mega.

[amber hearth]

Wtf was Gamefreak thinking

the only decent mega design is Scolipede, seriously

Great design, everything else is ass

[solar oriole]

Wait, is that actually official?

Well, I guess this will be the first time a gollisopod has ever dared to approach being on my team.

[amber hearth]

ye Im lookin at this ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu1VHyW-B50||

[wraith sage]

I'm just disappointed in Mega ||Scrafty||. I wonder if they'll adjust it later since it has some... unfortunate design coincidences. It looks neat but that color palette isn't it.

The shiny looks cool though.

[amber hearth]

Actually yknow what

I take it back, this one is sick too

[amber hearth]

Agreed ||(also its pokedex entry doesnt match the shiny version kek)||

[slate loom]

People keep saying that but I just do not see it

The only good ones were: || Delphox, Froslass, Elektros, Dragalgie, Drampa, and Falinks ||

[wraith sage]

It's specifically because of the point in the hood to me personally.

[amber hearth]

Yknow what I dont get is why they didnt have Blaziken in this one as a starter, since, yknow, COCORICO AND ALL THAT

[wraith sage]

and the color, and the fact it has eye holes

It's supposed to look like a shed skin but eeeh....

[slate loom]

Eh alot of hoods have points

[wraith sage]

I think they could've done better with it.

[amber hearth]

I just dont like how lame they did it, they couldnt be bothered to make it cooler?

[wraith sage]

It's the combination of the three things - the color, the pointy hood, the eye holes

It just looks like that to me.

[slate loom]

The || Scoliopede || one makes me sad because I wished they made my bug dog look good v~v

[amber hearth]

Why did Scrafty even need a damn mega form to begin with

[amber hearth]

I thought it looked great!

[radiant otter]

needed more unova pokemon other than audino most likely lol

[slate loom]

Its so... front heavy, they just slapped some armor on him

[amber hearth]

Yeah but its cool, makes it look more like a cavalier or hussar

I dig it

[amber hearth]

lmao well they did make the fatal mistake of putting the monkeys in there, too

[slate loom]

They love those monkeys

[wraith sage]

I would have done something like this for Mega ||Scrafty||

[slate loom]

Funky link hat

[wraith sage]

longer sleeves + jaggier hood to avoid any weird coincidence issues + more hair

[amber hearth]

see I woulda made it just a big white version of Scrafty, like it shed its whole BODY

[wraith sage]

I don't like the back things either

[wraith sage]

I think the coat idea is cool, personally

I love when Pokemon have "clothes"

[amber hearth]

blegh

[slate loom]

Yeah, scrafty is that one pokemon with clothes

[amber hearth]

Im iffy on that because (especially with the later generations) Gamefreak's been making the designs more and more anthro

and that + clothes can go south real fast

[wraith sage]

I like a lot of anthropomorphic Pokemon but I can see why people don't

But that's the fun of Pokemon, there's something for everybody

[amber hearth]

now I'll tell you who DID get screwed over

my beloved

in the name of the moon what did they do to you

[slate loom]

Butterfly

[wraith sage]

I like the silly hat but what the heck is the color palette

it looks like a Sanrio character LMAO

[amber hearth]

YEAH!

like wtf where did the yellow come from!?

[wraith sage]

and the green

[amber hearth]

lol well thats the shiny version

[wraith sage]

honestly it would've looked cuter if they leaned into the brown

oh what's the normal one

[slate loom]

Oh I get it now... shes a fairy

[amber hearth]

still looks terrible

wiggly and clefable were sposed to be references to rabbits on the moon

[wraith sage]

hmmm i would have gone for brown and cream to make it look less harsh, not that hot pink or yellow

[amber hearth]

so wtf is this garbo

[wraith sage]

pompompurin lookin ass

[amber hearth]

YEAH

I WAS GONNA SAY THAT

THE DUMB HAT

WHO SAID YES TO THAT

Idk who the art director at Gamefreak is, but they need to sit down and think about what theyve done

yknow I also wonder if some designs were really dumbed down because they had time crunches or something

[sharp elbow]

Absols broken ngl

[amber hearth]

like the model, or gameplay?

[solar oriole]

Probably means it's powerful

[woeful flume]

i love pokemon legends errand boy

[sharp elbow]

Ganeplay. Buddy is busted

[tawdry flame]

Shiny

[sharp elbow]

Imo

[amber hearth]

Do shiny odds in ZA work like how they did in PLA? Like you do research tasks for individual Pokies?

[woeful flume]

no

[solar oriole]

Rooftop worm. Now I just need to find a way up there

Ran around the building multiple times. No ladder, and no contact with any other building.

Do we eventually get flight or something?

[woeful flume]

search for scafolding or something

or it might show up later in the game

[solar oriole]

Yeah, only scaffolding was to the mega cammerupt fight. The one with dratini just has nothing

Alpha Dratini, bellsprout and pidgey. OK, that's probably a predetermined event that you have to go through a few dozen lines of monologue to get to later in the st ory.

[woeful flume]

that might just be luck

[jade ocean]

Canari is canonically a speedrunner

[solar oriole]

Oh god. Slurpuff does not get a flattering model. It's absolutely disturbing.

[vagrant bison]

Im so mad rn

[daring finch]

Check everywhere

[radiant otter]

it was a fletchling and i think it flew away lmao

on the rock

[vagrant bison]

Look on the rock

It flew away before i realized

[daring finch]

Doesnt it respawn?

[vagrant bison]

Not if it flew away

That counts as defeated technically

[daring finch]

Damn

[vagrant bison]

My first shiny in plza too💔

Other than mareep ofc

[radiant otter]

doing better than me i havent gotten one other than the mareep either

not a singlular sparkle

[vagrant bison]

Well im over 24 hours in

[radiant otter]

im almost 18 hours we'll call it even

even though 6 hours is a lot

[vagrant bison]

Alr fair

[formal shuttle]

Kinda weird question for yall but how long do you think I should wait before posting stuff about Legends ZA?

Cause I posted some art on a subreddit and it got taken down in like 20 seconds for spoiling so

[forest egret]

I can't really speak on what rules that subreddit is following. If you want to post artwork here you can do so. If you're planning on putting it in #artwork just put the post behind some spoilers and say as such

[solar oriole]

Btw. Does anyone know where I turn in these colorful screws at? I've been running up and down south boulevard, and I'm not only not finding the construction company, but I'm finding basically no buildings I can enter

[radiant otter]

right next to the gate where you got off the train

[woeful flume]

^ talk to the dude outside the building

[radiant otter]

on the right

yes do that also

[solar oriole]

I was given bad instructions. was told to go to the south west

Thanks

Some guide makers clearly don't know what the difference between east and west is

[amber hearth]

whaaaa

so its like SV then? straight 4096 odds, no way to improve them other than shiny charm? (and sandwiches lol)

[woeful flume]

well sv has methods but for now yeah

no methods have been found for the game so far

[amber hearth]

thats brutal

[woeful flume]

yeah but you can see a whole lot of pokemon, somepeople say its not too bad but i still have found anything myself

and on the plus side shinies will stay there forever unless its a case of a pokemon like budew who runs or fletchling flying away. from what ive heard there can be 10 at a time

[amber hearth]

ehhh, I still preferred PLA's method of letting you do research to lower the odds

[woeful flume]

yeah that woulda been nice

[amber hearth]

at least the shinies stay there now, Ive seen horror stories from SV of people driving around and looking behind them and a shiny appears and then disappears 💀

[woeful flume]

yeah cause there was no noises or sparkles to notify you but its back

[solar oriole]

Alright. I always hated Scolipede's design, but seeing it in 3d (especially with the mega)... makes me definitely appreciate it a lot more.

[woeful flume]

hating on the best bug type is not welcome here

[solar oriole]

Scizor in the corner

[woeful flume]

where he should be

[forest egret]

Scizor's my favourite pokemon

But I like Scolipede, and I think 3D is pretty nice for him. You can see his goofy vacant expression or his horse gallop

[solar oriole]

bbtw, does anyone know what the stat impacct of the new megas are?

[radiant otter]

i believe they are all +100 like usual

[solar oriole]

Not that it particularly matters for the game, but in order to port them over into PTU.

Yeah, +100 net stats. But like the distributions.

[radiant otter]

oh no clue

thats a thing to google

[forest egret]

I heard mawile and medicham gets a +140 to compensate for the lack of huge power

All of the stat distributions are on bulbapedia and serebii now though so yeah, you can just look them up to get the offical stat totals

[dim plover]

i love this new battle mechanic

cooldown time instead of pp feels amazing

the one part is that protect feels almost useless because you protect one against one move and then your opponent is already using a second move

[slate loom]

This is a plot spoiler (Mostly talking about Ivor)
|| god I dont know how to feel about Ivor. When I first ran into him, I remember thinking he is stupid as fuck and short sighted thinking abolishing wild zones will benefit anyone. Then I played more, and realized that... the wild zones dont really do anything? It isnt like people arent in danger in the street. You immediately have an Alpha terrorizing people in an alley. And so many strong pokemon reside in the streets, that I start to realize that- Yeah Ivor is kind of right, what is even the point of these Zones? They arent even placed well. That poor Granny getting her ring stolen when she was visiting her husbands grave made me question the whole wild zone philosophy. ||

|| He is just a wholesome himbo and I actually love him after meeting him again ||

[jade ocean]

||Mawile gets +142, Medicham and Starmie get +140, Zygod gets +70||

The rest are +100 as usual

[dim plover]

23k from a single night of battling is wild

[slate loom]

I tend to get like, 30k, I think I even got 60k one night?

[dim plover]

damn

[jade ocean]

It's about as useful as it is in Singles

[dim plover]

yeah

i had a venipede use protect against a rollout and then it got immediately obliterated by a flame wheel from the back

literally

https://tenor.com/view/kenshiro-meme-omae-omaewamoushindeiru-omaewamou-gif-18658759

[jade ocean]

Protect really only stalls a turn in 1v1 scenarios

Can be helpful to scout for opposing moves

And definitely useful for status chip or chip healing

But in most cases not useful enough for a full move slot

In ZA, it'll also run down the stat boost/drop timer

As well as allow your CDs to return while you're protected

[dim plover]

true

[jade ocean]

And if you're only fearing one move, using Protect for it and attacking during its CD seems like a good idea

So yknow what?

Better than it is normally

[dim plover]

i didnt realize they gave you the whole matchup chart in the tips menu

[sacred harbor]

holy shit the ending of this game was fire

[jade ocean]

I didn't either because I don't check the tips menu, I don't need it

Well, so far I haven't

We shall see in the post game

But Level 91 Emboar solos so I'm fine

[dim plover]

i'll have to wait to buy the blc

[radiant otter]

i just finished the game too what an ending

[dim plover]

i only have a level 20 pignite T-T

have you guys been doing nothing but playing the game?

[sacred harbor]

i just finished the credits

[radiant otter]

i worked thrusday and friday night

so other than that i've been on my ass lmao

[dim plover]

damn

[sacred harbor]

og ending is prob best ending in all of pokemon

[dim plover]

og ending?

[sacred harbor]

on god

[dim plover]

oh ok

im used to on god being ong

[jade ocean]

Yup

This may be the first time I've entered a postgame with a Level 91 Pokemon

Ah who am I kidding it definitely is

[sacred harbor]

bro i finished the final fight with lvl 75 😭

[jade ocean]

Most my Pokemon were that level

It's just that my Emboar was uhh

[radiant otter]

dude i thought i was overleveled with my whole team being high 60s wtf

[jade ocean]

Very very strong

[sacred harbor]

😭

[jade ocean]

Bro did NOT find a Shiny Stone

[robust wren]

||Nihil Light|| as a move feels way too good to be true. I'm very confident it's getting turned into a recharge move if it's in any other game

[sacred harbor]

LOL NO

ive been looking for it for so long 😭 and ttar is only there cuz i just evloved it mid finale

ive been just evolving pokemon to fill dex with 6th slot

[dim plover]

im so curious to know what move you're talking about but i really need to avoid spoilers so i can enjoy the game

[jade ocean]

I'll probably take a break for a while before heading into the post game

Probably

Maybe

[sacred harbor]

i have so many side quests to do now 😭

[robust wren]

It's a key moment in the climax of the game so yeah definitely a spoiler to not click on

[dim plover]

is it ||nihi-light||? that move has already been spoilered for me and i cant wait to use it

[sacred harbor]

dont look into the ending at all go in blind trust

[jade ocean]

I did all available sidequests before entering the end of the game

[sacred harbor]

crazy

[jade ocean]

Well

Except for Jumbo Pumpkaboo

That one can go rot in hell

[sacred harbor]

ive only done 25 of them

how many are there

[jade ocean]

My ass is NOT about to catch Pumpkaboos while being chased by Alpha Gourgeist, Banette, Shuppet, Pumpkaboo and 50 other Pokemon

[dim plover]

i'm trying to speedrun quests so i can revive myself a tyrunt

[jade ocean]

Fuck that

[dim plover]

i have the fossil i just need access to reviving them

[jade ocean]

4 fucking Alphas
"Holy shit"

[sacred harbor]

did you quote yourself

[radiant otter]

the final squad

what a game man

[hazy knot]

just got my first shiny, a fletchling

[sacred harbor]

67

[dim plover]

are there more wild zone or is it just the 6 in the city?

[sacred harbor]

it adds more as you go

[dim plover]

ok, all the wild zones i've been in have like level 10 pokemon

[solar oriole]

Yeah, just do the main quest

[dim plover]

lida really just an instigator

naveen trying to vibe and lida making us battle

[jade ocean]

My reaction to seeing ||Rogue Mega Metagross, Alakazam and Aerodactyl ready to jump my ass was probably something akin to "I'm fucked"||

Thank god ||Grisham was there bro||

[sacred harbor]

||BRO THOSE FUCKING FLOWERS AT THE END THO||

[jade ocean]

||Didn't struggle with them to much, but I am ridiculously overleveled tbf||

[radiant otter]

||i thought i was fucked but it was somehow really easy||

[jade ocean]

||They seem to be Typeless, and do Typeless Damage||

[sacred harbor]

they like 2 shot me and i had like no heals i realized

[dim plover]

this is like reading a redacted document

[solar oriole]

I fin the rogue mega battles exceedingly boring. You just circle strafe, and spam the attack button until they die.

They basically ignore your pokemon, so the only way you lose is if you just stand there..

[sacred harbor]

how many have you done

[jade ocean]

||It's mainly about the Ultimate Moves when it comes to those battles||

[dim plover]

thats what i do with regular wild pokemon, just run left and right and spam attacks and your pokemon doesnt get hit that much

[jade ocean]

||Some are difficult like Mawile fucking carpet bombing the arena, and then there's Venusaur who just grew plants everywhere and I'm not entirely sure what that was supposed to do||

[radiant otter]

||mawile chased me in a circle for a full minute without attacking it was hilarious||

[sacred harbor]

||mawile was annoying af||

[dim plover]

bro i literally had my promo-match last night and they're already giving me a new one

[sacred harbor]

||what the fuck do you mean infinite za royale 😭||

[jade ocean]

||I think Hyperrogue Ange Floette is the only boss I'd say is more threatening to your Pokemon than to you||

||Because your Pokemon love following you around||

||And running directly into the giga death beam||

||So I hope your positioning isn't off||

[sacred harbor]

||or just stand in the poison aoe it dropped||

[jade ocean]

||Or that your cooldowns are ready||

[jade ocean]

||Yeah that one definitely did a lot to my Pokemon too||

Anyways

The fucking OST goes so hard

[sacred harbor]

i was spaming the return to pokeball button to save it but it was like mid animation 😭

[jade ocean]

Like in general

[radiant otter]

truly a soundtrack for the ages. the song that plays when you fight ||jacsynthe|| was peak

[jade ocean]

Also I said this earlier but ||Gwynn seeing a terrorist and the legendary defender of the ecosystem walk into the room and seeing the terrorist demand that Zygarde fight us and having the response of "I don't care I just want to go home" is crazy||

||And also, same tbh||

Also how the FUCK are some of the less fucked up people ||the ones who literally give people shady fucking loans with stupid interest rates||

[sacred harbor]

what

when did that happen

[jade ocean]

||Lysandre counts as a terrorist right||

||I mean he doesn't have his memory but nobody knew that at that point in time||

||Like during the funny tournament thing||

[sacred harbor]

ooooooooh

nobody knew who he was tho

[jade ocean]

Someone literally instantly said ||Holy shit is that fucking Lysandre (paraphrased)||

||While explaining the necessary info to know that he's a terrorist||

[sacred harbor]

naw i thought it was crazier that eveyone was always just listening to our conversations 😭 like

random holograms pulling up to respond to smth i said to sombody else

[jade ocean]

OK but why the FUCK ||did our friends just watch as we 3v1d those 2 battle society people and Lebanne or however her name was spelt||

||Like bro at least take on the 2 pathetic guys do I can just 1v1 Lebanne||

[sacred harbor]

did you take the healing or nbaw

i said no and almost died for it

[jade ocean]

I did but still

Couldn't have they actually like

Done something

Apart from nothing

[amber hearth]

no shinies smh

[jade ocean]

Tbf they are kinda useless without us

[radiant otter]

only the guaranteed mareep i found too late and didnt wanna level lol

[jade ocean]

I will say though, ||Taunie's ability to stay chill AFTER she almost got fucking murdered is impressive||

[amber hearth]

lmao

[sacred harbor]

||i thought they were gonna kill her off for sure||

[jade ocean]

||Same, as soon as that cutscene ended I was like "Welp, she's dead, time to go find Zygarde"||

[sacred harbor]

||im cuious what she was doing up there the whole time||

[jade ocean]

||Just watching us apparently||

That segment also gave us the very important non-lore relevant info that Canari is a speedrunner

It's so irrelevant that I don't even think I need to spoiler it

But it's funny

Thus it is the most important piece of info in the entire game

[sacred harbor]

oh ya i saw that

BROOOOOO I WAS LOOKING FOR A TEPIG FOR LIKE THIS WHOLE TIME AND THEN I FOUND ONE AND IT SWITCFHED TO NIGHT AND DESPAWNED

[jade ocean]

Lmao

Reminds me of the time in early game I spent half the night trying to take down an Alpha Meowstic

Then it became day

So I spent another very long amount of time lowering its HP again

Caught it though

||I was expecting the cafe mfs to be tied to Team Flare||

||But I didn't expect one of them to be its new leader||

||I thought they were like grunts or admins or something||

[sacred harbor]

||idk how i didnt notice the prof was team flare lowkey||

[jade ocean]

||She's literally a Team Flare admin from XY though unless I'm stupid||

[sacred harbor]

ya i realized right after

lore/little detail wise this game was great

[jade ocean]

I'd definitely say story wise this is one of the best Pokemon games

But yknow

Bar isn't high

But I liked the gameplay too, I find the Legends style battling fun

[sacred harbor]

it needs voice acting tho bad

[radiant otter]

||the thing i noticed about taunie is that her eye kept closing like lysandres is every once in a while and idk if i am going insane or not||

[jade ocean]

And the cooldowns are an interesting change

[jade ocean]

Either I'm oblivious are you are going insane

[radiant otter]

|| i noticed it in a few strategy meetings and it might have just been her winking but it hasnt led to anything so who knows||

[sacred harbor]

finally

[radiant otter]

|| i could just be delusional but it only happened after we saw lysandre for the first time||

[radiant otter]

twin

[dim plover]

where do i get the kanto starters?

[radiant otter]

you can pick one from the research lab

where you met mable

[jade ocean]

||Both the "normal" Rogue and the Multi Battle Rogue OSTs go so fucking hard||

[sacred harbor]

that fairy rank up ost was so good

[dim plover]

do i have to get to a certain point to choose one or can i get one whenever?

[radiant otter]

apparently you were supposed to be told you can choose one

i don't remember getting that

[jade ocean]

All of the major trainer OSTs are so good

[radiant otter]

but i think it's side quest 22

[dim plover]

ok

[sacred harbor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ_uLivez9I might have been my favorite one

[dim plover]

35k haul lets go

[sweet crag]

You spoil a mega !!!@sacred harbor

[jade ocean]

I think my favourite has to be the ||normal Rogue Mega Evo theme, I love how fucking insane it gets later into the song, fits considering how the actual threat of the Rogues are later in their fights, when they use their Ultimates||

[dim plover]

can anyone explain how sleep works in ZA?

because it doesnt seem to make the opponent immobile

do they just get slower?

[radiant otter]

it appears to be paralysis with extra steps

[jade ocean]

Well, ||Dnite was also a fat bastard and ate Ice moves about as well as other Pokemon were eating ×2 SE moved, even with Swords Dance||

[radiant otter]

i didnt use sleep or "drowsiness" much

[jade ocean]

If Drowsy is similar to L:A, it should also lower Defence I think?

[sacred harbor]

imagine using status condisitons

[radiant otter]

burn saved me hard so many times

[sacred harbor]

i just had 4 different type attacking moves on feraligatr

[jade ocean]

Ice Punch freeze kinda clutched up a lot more than I was expecting

Also, no Frostbite is sad

[dim plover]

i dont use status moves much at all in any pokemon games

[sacred harbor]

i was one shotting most things so didnt see the point

[jade ocean]

Well I say that but I'd win in those scenarios, freeze or not

[dim plover]

thats the best feeling, sneaking up on a training and using a super effective move on their pokemon and you see the slow-mo faint animation

[sacred harbor]

it didnt even have to be super effective 😭 mega feraliagr has so much attack

[dim plover]

lol

[jade ocean]

Hiding behind a lamp pole and it working is hilarious

[jade ocean]

Same here

But I didn't even need to Mega Emboar

I just relies on the power of a level lead that ranged from 10 to like, 30

[sacred harbor]

tahts insane

[dim plover]

so real, you're just hiding behind a trash can and watch as they walk up to the pokemon and it faints

[jade ocean]

Maybe even 40 against some trainers in the last grind to a challenger ticket

Emboar was OVERLEVELED

And if I needed to kill something, no matter the type matchup, Emboar could get it done

[sacred harbor]

bro.... how many side quests are there

[jade ocean]

A lot

[dim plover]

should i get a barbaracle or gyarados?

[sacred harbor]

wdym side quest 108 😭

[jade ocean]

||Mega Barbaracle is Rock/Fighting, and has 0 type overlap with Gyarados as a result||

[dim plover]

im unsure if i should unspoil that

[jade ocean]

Even discounting that, I'd imagine both work fine

[sacred harbor]

its chill tbh

[jade ocean]

Gyarados is more vulnerable to Electric but Barbaracle fears Grass

Bounce is also not utter garbage in this game imo

[radiant otter]

do i still have to turn my console upside down to evolve inkay

[dim plover]

Yes.

[jade ocean]

Since like, the AI still ain't gonna be switching out of Bounce

And you won't miss

Because accuracy isn't a thing

[radiant otter]

how dare they make me undock my switch and flip it so i can have a larger squid

[sacred harbor]

||never getting to go inside of lumiouse tower and then it just literely being destoryed into the fucking efial tower made me so sad||

[dim plover]

ngl i dont remember the last time my switch was in its dock

i've always played it hand held

[sacred harbor]

i just capture card it to my pc

[dim plover]

wait do i have to catch this chespin?

if i keep fainting it will it just keep battling me?

[sacred harbor]

no just keep going

[radiant otter]

welp i think its time to complete the pokedex

[dim plover]

CHESPIN AQUIRED HELL YEAH

[sacred harbor]

im going to bed

cya guys

[dim plover]

what do i use mega shards for?

i cant sell them

are they like dyna-max candies?

[jade ocean]

You will unlock a shop that uses them as currency later

[dim plover]

ok

[solar oriole]

Why does Mega Delphox get +105 stats when everyone else gets +100?

[jade ocean]

It doesn't

It gains 100

The Pokemon that don't gain 100 are ||Mawile at 142, Medicham and Starmie at 140 and Zygarde at 70||

[solar oriole]

I must be reading it wrong I guess.

[jade ocean]

Gee I wonder what ability ||Starmie|| is getting

[solar oriole]

No abilities in this game, I think

[jade ocean]

It's such a mystery isn't it

[dim plover]

hell yeah level 32 alpha binacle while my team is level 19-26

[jade ocean]

I meant outside of ZA

It's truly an enigma as to what ||Starmie|| will get for an ability

I can barely start to imagine

[dim plover]

no abilities, but they do still have natures

[brazen jetty]

I was like "what's wrong with its official design" and then I realized it and holy shit how did they not notice that 😭

[jade ocean]

OK but unironically

||Huge Power or Pure Power?||

||They're basically the same||

[solar oriole]

Run Away

[jade ocean]

||And it's obviously getting one or the other||

[brazen jetty]

damn I prefer the original to like 90% of the new megas
I would have liked scrafty but I can't unsee that now

[jade ocean]

||It's even more obvious than Contrary Mega Malamar or Levitate Mega Eelektross||

[solar oriole]

I find the scolipede mega to be pretty neat. They actually gave him animations which are cool too.

[brazen jetty]

Betting on ||Huge Power because the other is still signature and has no real reason to be spread||

[solar oriole]

Is scolipede the only pokemon that looks better going from 2d to 3d?

[jade ocean]

||Mega Starmie is technically not worse than Starmie in a complete vacuum||

[brazen jetty]

I saw a ||Mega Drampa|| is that also one of the new ones or a fake leak?

[jade ocean]

||I mean it's basically just Starmie with long fucking legs||

[jade ocean]

Real

It's actually the 2nd Mega you face

[brazen jetty]

OK that one is also pretty good

[solar oriole]

5th

[jade ocean]

Am I unable to count or something

Or have bad memory

[solar oriole]

It's after the ||absol, and the 3 rogue megas||

[jade ocean]

||I though it was Absol, Drampa, 3 Rogue Megas||

Shit uhhh

My memory may be ass

[wooden lion]

Although I don’t have ZA yet, I’ve planned my team but wanted some thoughts on them. (Probs didn’t need the spoiler tags but ik some ppl haven’t seen the dex yet)

[solar oriole]

Noivern is just a bad ass pokemon, in design at least.

[brazen jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/mega-victreebel-victreebel-mega-evolution-pokemon-pokemon-za-gif-4658295178706708663

[tepid flame]

It is badass

[jade ocean]

I wished Noibat evolved earlier man

[tepid flame]

If you give it Pixilate that is

[jade ocean]

Or at least didn't have stats so horrible

[wooden lion]

I haven’t used it in a main line game yet

[brazen jetty]

Yeah it's ridiculous when it evolved at 48

[slate loom]

God I was gunna sit down and grind for Delphoxite, before realizing you cant even get it yet!

[wooden lion]

Or adaptability

[jade ocean]

Or at least have Noivern be like

Giga busted

[brazen jetty]

Like don't get me wrong
Noibat is in my top 5 favorites

But it also has Zubats stats

[sacred harbor]

What’s wrong with sugar

[daring finch]

I just found out they changed shiny slowpokr

[sacred harbor]

Zubat

[brazen jetty]

and you have to deal with that for like 7 gyms

[sacred harbor]

They made it porpl

[brazen jetty]

Zubat has a very low base stat total

[daring finch]

Uh huh

Now we just need gengar

[wooden lion]

Basically the second version of the team (the one with M Victreebel) is if I can’t trade to evolve Pumpkaboo into Gourgeist

[sacred harbor]

😭 never happening

[solar oriole]

I hate trade evolutions

[jade ocean]

Same

[daring finch]

I hate shitting my pants in public

[jade ocean]

Literally just

The absolute worst thing in Pokemon

[wooden lion]

And idk if the link cord item is in ZA

[jade ocean]

Alongside region exclusives

[jade ocean]

It isn't

[daring finch]

Nopers

[sacred harbor]

So Uhm. . . You got some crazy story to tell?

[brazen jetty]

Trade evolutions are just "hey buddy you have friends who play this game right hey yep mhm"

At least we have the internet now

[wooden lion]

Ok looks like I’m going for Victreebel team then

[daring finch]

No, it just sucks in general

[jade ocean]

What, do you like shitting your pants on public?

I feel like that's generally just

[sacred harbor]

No it’s just like why mention that

[jade ocean]

A very normal thing to hate

[daring finch]

I use 6 megas

[jade ocean]

Whether or not you've done it

[wooden lion]

My team only has 5, but the website i used doesn’t have anything that wasn’t officially revealed

[daring finch]

Also I can catch falinks noe

I am happy

[sacred harbor]

2.7 mega feraligatr cycle 🫡

[daring finch]

6.7 pekka mega knight mirror 3 Musk e giant golem cycle

[sacred harbor]

Gross

I’m a lumber loon player

[wooden lion]

Which is why Victreebel uses the mega icon but the other 4 who can don’t (since ofc noivern can’t mega evo)

[daring finch]

You see the skeletons crossing the bridge, what you do?
A. Nothing cuz they die
B. Log

[sacred harbor]

MEGA NUTTTT

[daring finch]

Ah thats what your banner is

[sacred harbor]

Isn’t it fire

[daring finch]

Its smt

[sacred harbor]

I made some emotes from clash like animated stickers on iPhone

So now I can be toxic even when I’m not in clash

[radiant otter]

dawg why the fuck are there so many pyroar in a wild zone

[dim plover]

ass haul on night 3

13k

[daring finch]

Yup

[daring finch]

Yup

Only becomes good at around 15 trainers

Mega shiny barbaracle btw

[dim plover]

hell yeah

also should i take bulbasaur, charmander or squirtle?

nevermind i forgot about the goat mega charizard x

[dim plover]

but big gun turtle sounds nice

DAMN

[slate loom]

And I just barely met the ticket quota x~x

[dim plover]

WHAT

[slate loom]

To be fair, I did not get alot of good cards

|| think it needed like, 65k tickets? ||

Racing the clock of both dawn and my switch being at 5% battery lol

[dim plover]

charmander or squirtle

[slate loom]

Charmander

Funny charizard megas

[dim plover]

I think i'll go with big gun turtle

[slate loom]

Can we just talk about how much of a problem Hawlucha can be?

Imagine this moveset. Fly, detect, Flying Press, Protect. When the hell do you hit this thing.

[storm bone]

I chose chikorita and ||I do not regret the mega is cool and they are strong||

No way ||Lysandre||!!?

[slate loom]

|| As someone who hasnt played X and Y, doesnt know the plot, and doesnt know the characters, I took one look at that dude and knew his name, then questioned where the fuck I knew it from. ||

[storm bone]

Am I the only one that don’t like the dex entries in this game ?

[daring finch]

I am a pokemon fan I dont read

I think a falinks trooper wrote this

[opaque osprey]

Surprised no one posted about dragonite mega stone name so I just searched bulbapedia

I’m disappointed to find out it’s not Dragoniteite

[storm bone]

Gamefreak liked Iono so much that ||they made Iono 2||

Mega ||excadrill|| is so cool

Lmao grandpa is pretending to be a woman on the internet

Mega ||Eelketross|| is peculiar but good

Why are they still doing croissant curry 😩
It’s a crime

Like eat it the croissants after not during

We do have croissants stuffed with curry but not regular croissants in curry

[little nacelle]

Fun fact I helped with the stones bulbapedia page

[storm bone]

Oh nice

[little nacelle]

My username on there is TohjoFalls

[storm bone]

Is there a place where I can buy mega stones with money?

[daring finch]

Yes the stone emporium

Guys I just found my second shiny weedle who wants it?

On 2nd thought he kinda cute

[storm bone]

Where is it I only know quasartico

[daring finch]

1 sec

[storm bone]

Thank you

[daring finch]

Np

[robust wren]

Poor ||Canari|| really was introduced to the world as an ||electric specialist livestreamer|| at one of the worst possible times, given current events in the Livestreaming landscape

[daring finch]

No match against Kai Cenat

[solar oriole]

||Have to say, the Canari story is... incredibly creepy. It just gives off all the worst vibes.||

[fossil abyss]

MY BABY BOYYYYYYYYY

[little nacelle]

What happened?

[little nacelle]

???

||Canari wants to stream, does not like social interaction that much, so Tarragon, her GRANDPA, poses as her for these.|| I don't get why that's creepy. Unless I'm not far enough in the story, I don't... see the problem...

[robust wren]

A streamer was caught allegedly hurting their dog using a shock collar

[little nacelle]

ah

i don't-

i don't get what ||Canari|| has to do with this

||it's not like she has manectric||

anyway ||defeated Mega Mawile!!!||

[idle dove]

Canari was definitely planned long before that

[errant solar]

They ruined dragalge

[amber hearth]

(agreed)

I always thought its hat made it look like a cavalier

now it just looks... weird

Well on the plus side, maybe now there'll be a lot more job openings at Gamefreak

[static moon]

Ft shiny m ralts, shiny beedrill
Lf, shiny f budew line, shimy f lopunny line, shiny f fenniken line, shiny froslass, shiny frokie, shiny scyther

[woeful carbon]

shiny hunting is so painful if your encounter isnt a wildzone one

[amber hearth]

are the starters shiny locked?

[woeful carbon]

yes

[woeful carbon]

shiny charm is post game and there is no way to boost your shiny odds other than that

1/4096 odds and I have to run 6 seconds south and then another 6 seconds north to refresh the pokemon im hunting

at my current rate ill have about a 50% chance to encounter one after the 12 hour mark

[amber hearth]

yeah Ill be over here in PLA with my 1:1024 odds for shinies WITHOUT the charm

[shrewd hearth]

The perfect name for a feraligator in this game is bidet

[woeful carbon]

if the shiny ralts im hunting turns out to be a female im gonna do something crazy idk what but ill do something

why did gallade have to be a gender evolution...

also psa for any shiny hunters day/night changing will reload all spawned pokemon in an area even shiny ones (maybe misinfo)

I havent seen this for myself but I've heard people say it can happen

[woeful flume]

it does

if you have spawns near a bench you can keep changing the time and youll eventually get a shiny

or take the long route and stay in an area for the day/night changes for them

[woeful carbon]

is there any bench near a ralts spawn

[woeful flume]

i havent even seen a ralts lol, but there might be if you look around ill check once my credits are over

[woeful flume]

so far the only bench would be in the upside down L on top of the roof, this is in the top left on the map in magenta sector 7 for the ralts

[woeful carbon]

these are the only ralts spawns I know of

[robust wren]

Crazy how ScarVi had a mechanic that straight up prevented this from happening to most Shiny Pokemon, and this game didn't implement it. Classic Gamefreak "one step forward, one step back, forever in stasis"

[storm bone]

If you guys think there is too few benches it’s just like in Paris

[woeful carbon]

I found benches on top of here but idfk how to get up there lmao

wait im stupid

theres a ladder in the grass area with the ralts

[wispy kernel]

Look at this guy I just got (kinda post game spoiler)

[tepid moss]

Not really surprising that'd be available

[wispy kernel]

yeah thats why I said its kinda a spoiler

its not really one but for those who care I spoilered it

[autumn shore]

Spoiler question
Has anyone seen Mega Floette (AZ form)?

[dim plover]

If im about to ||jump 15 letter ranks from 1 battle there better be a huge ass power gap during the night||

[little nacelle]

You can spoiler by using ||

[daring finch]

It SHOULD respawn them when it gets day again

[daring finch]

[daring finch]

||Dude, didnt you start like yesterday?||

[sturdy flower]

||gardevoir spawns in zone 20||

[wispy kernel]

zone 20 is post game only

also. might wanna spoiler that

feels like it could count as a spoiler

[little nacelle]

Wild Zone 15 ALSO has Gourgeist!(Alpha only)

Wild Zone 13 has a Alpha trevenant.

This is the only way to get the two without trades iirc

[lime compass]

Mabey I should take a break I have been playing for 7 hours

[wispy kernel]

guys

[woeful flume]

no you must go on i believe in you

[wispy kernel]

how do I grind exp

My pokemon are level 70-ish

The current fight I am doing is level 84

[lime compass]

Buy many exp plushies

[wise heath]

||They turned a Pokemon into Patrick star in the First Spongebob movie and then called it a Mega...||

[wispy kernel]

yeah and its peak

[wise heath]

Personally I don't like it at all

[scarlet bear]

Does anyone know what mega female pyroar looks like

[sturdy flower]

there's no gender difference for the mega

[scarlet bear]

Oh

[tepid moss]

that's so lame

[wispy kernel]

its just lame in general

such an ugly mega

it just combines both of their manes

[daring finch]

It makes that fire symbol

And lowkey its shiny actually saves it a bit

[jade ocean]

Thanks for the warning

Emboar's already Level 100, but the rest of the team's only like 78

[tepid moss]

Man, shiny flaafy sucks

[radiant otter]

are the kalos legendaries shiny locked?

[wispy kernel]

yes

[radiant otter]

👎

it's expected but i dislike it

[wispy kernel]

true

[dim plover]

Emboar, Chesnaught, and blastoise aquired

Now i just need mega stones

[wispy kernel]

Just got 10 kills in a ranked match. hell yeah

[woeful carbon]

I need a GALLADE

so im stuck hunting ralts

and if the shiny is female then call me connor from detroit cause im pressing ⭕ over ❌

[wispy kernel]

just had a match where I got 11 🔥🔥🔥

also I got the greninjite. you can get it really fast

[woeful carbon]

also yes I have BEEN SITTING ON THIS BENCH FOR THE PAST 2 HOURS

also it has to be a shiny ralts no other ralts will do

I decided on a name for it "Rigel"

which is a star in the orion constellation which is a blue white supergiant

blue and white

my fate has been sealed

itll be shiny or bust im all in

[wispy kernel]

there is a guaranteed alpha gallade in a quest later on. I wonder if its shiny locked or not

theres no cutscenes or anything relating to it

maybe

[tepid moss]

I will never have the patience for that

[sturdy flower]

🥀

[acoustic igloo]

Alright, here goes nothing!

[scarlet bear]

Are there any link stones or alternative evolution methods for haunter in the game?

[lime compass]

I don’t think so

[woeful carbon]

just realized I could use a rubber band

so Ive automated half of it

[storm bone]

WoW mega ||chandelure || is great, shame it died in 2 hits against my mega absol

[woeful carbon]

so no longer I have to pull down with one finger on the joystick as well as mash A

all I have to do is mash A

also yes I have been mashing A and pulling down the joystick for the past 3 hours and yes my hands hurt

[storm bone]

Anyone knows where I can get froakie ?

[sharp sluice]

Hydrogen Bomb

[storm bone]

Mega || falinks|| is so funny but also why || is falinks even in kalos in the first place||

[woeful carbon]

||A Challenge from Froakie side quest or postgame||

[tepid moss]

Maybe it's part of a Galarian invasion

[woeful carbon]

Behold INNOVATION

[storm bone]

Where is the ||challenge||?

[jaunty comet]

The picture literally shows you?

[woeful carbon]

||no thats the quests name||

[storm bone]

But where is it ?

[woeful carbon]

its where froakie stands

the obby

[jaunty comet]

Look at the picture

[storm bone]

Oh

Sorry didn’t see thank you

[jovial torrent]

is the game worth playing

[unborn elm]

Depends if it’s your cup of tea

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

[jovial torrent]

sword and shield was ok but i played it when i was 12

[woeful carbon]

solid 7/10

if more fleshed out probably couldve been top 2 switch era pokemon games

customization was rather disappointing compared to x and ys character customization

far less diverse options

[acoustic igloo]

I find it funny how ludicrously easy they made the decision of picking a starter this time around.

[woeful carbon]

true!

[tepid moss]

True. Chikorita was the obvious choice for me

[woeful carbon]

Newest innovation found my old bootleg 10 dollar pro controller with a turbo button

[woeful carbon]

So I can do this automatically now after uh

4 hours of doing it manually

[storm bone]

Thanks to ZA I think a lot more people will like chikorita

[scarlet bear]

What’s the optimal level to evolve weepinbell?

Got an alpha and am interested to see how big a alpha victreebell is

[unborn elm]

I’d love to try this but I don’t wanna risk my joycons getting stick drift

[unborn elm]

Feraligatr is so good but it’s so sad that the mega unless it’s attacking is just a red toilet bowl

[daring finch]

Whenever you feel like it

[woeful carbon]

You probably will not gonna lie but you can probably minimize how fast drift will happen by adjusting the rubber band to not push down as much so the stick isn’t at full tilt

[scarlet bear]

Ight thanks. Didn’t want you to lose out on a move

[daring finch]

I mean, it has a high atk stat so with a +atk nature you get leech life, poison jab and power whip

[unborn elm]

I mean I have tried it but I’ve gotten my shiny really fast and I mean 5-10 minutes fast so

[woeful carbon]

It’s taken me 4 hours and I’ve yet to see one

[wispy kernel]

it never really looked like that to be

I just saw it as a giant sail like a spinosaurus

[unborn elm]

I hope you find one soon tho

[solar oriole]

Is there any "tell" that a pokemon is shiny, other than just the color? Like does it sparkle or have a noise?

[jade ocean]

Iirc it does sparkle with the noise

[woeful carbon]

Sparkle+noise

[jade ocean]

The rogue mega battle theme has been stuck in my head since I've first heard it help

[little nacelle]

i got a shiny pidgey after nearly 40 hours

[little nacelle]

sparkles like LGPE+noise+icon above head if focusing

[wispy kernel]

I’m gonna try to shiny hunt every single pokemon that can mega evolve

or at least every new mega

[solar oriole]

even the new starters?

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[solar oriole]

oof.

[wispy kernel]

They appear in the wild later

[solar oriole]

I would never play through the opening of the game ever again

oh

ok

[little nacelle]

TRUE...

[jade ocean]

Also I have not gotten a single fucking Charmander to spawn in ||Area 20||

[little nacelle]

btw do any of you have the catch maps lol

[jade ocean]

Bro where tf are they 💔

[acoustic igloo]

I'm noticing how the newest games are getting bolder with the language being used.

[wispy kernel]

It’s annoying asf

[daring finch]

Me with the starmie in that one area

[wispy kernel]

It’s the only one I havent seen

[jade ocean]

Night spawn probably

[little nacelle]

they have a few NPCs talking about feces

[daring finch]

Nope

[wispy kernel]

But it’s also the one I chose so it works for me tbh

[little nacelle]

(pokemon droppings)

[acoustic igloo]

LMAO???

[little nacelle]

oh yeah someone literally dies

[daring finch]

It cycles between medicham and barbaracle

[little nacelle]

[jade ocean]

||O7 AZ||

[acoustic igloo]

That's always fun

[wispy kernel]

RIP Legend

[daring finch]

Idk what thats about but 🫡

[jade ocean]

Anyways this isn't the first time shit was brought up in Pokemon

[daring finch]

Darumaka

[jade ocean]

There's also people using Darumaka dung to heat themselves

[wispy kernel]

I think Darumaka’s and Turtonator’s entries mention it

[jade ocean]

And Guzzlord literally taking 0 shits

[jade ocean]

That too

I also genuinely thought ||Taunie died||

For a moment

[little nacelle]

i love my team lmao

[acoustic igloo]

Even the anime brought up fossilized shit as early as Season 1 (although that was only in the dub)

[jade ocean]

||How the fuck did almost dying not phase her like wtf||

[little nacelle]

isn't it peak

[jade ocean]

||Does this girl have no fear||

[daring finch]

I use pangoro

[jade ocean]

||Does she know she's the main rival and thus can't die||

||Like wtf||

[little nacelle]

i mean ||she constantly helps everyone out around lumiose shes had worse||

[jade ocean]

||Worse than being trapped in a massive living building that wants to destroy the city after it almost kills her?||

[daring finch]

Others? Sure, but hes the mvp, night slash, cc, sd, ice punch

[little nacelle]

what do yall think of my team

[little nacelle]

||working in customer service||

[jade ocean]

||Fair enough||

[jade ocean]

Anyways I'm surprised that you don't have Dnite's mega stone yet

I suppose ||you haven't fought Rogue Dnite yet?||

[little nacelle]

look at who i've got

[little nacelle]

||I'm still at Barbaracle lmao||

||taking my sweet time||

[jade ocean]

||I felt like I was playing very slowly and carefully too though and I started and ended after you||

||Hmm||

||I mean I literally did every side mission apart from Jumbo Pumpkaboo that was available before the postgame||

||Tbf I was also sinking a lot of time in every day I played||

||But I think having a Level 91 Emboar for the final boss is a pretty good sign that I was playing pretty slowly and methodically||

[little nacelle]

||i mean i keep going around places||

||I GENUINELY WENT BACK TO WILD ZONE 1 A FEW TIMES||

my box 11 lmao

is it me or

do i think Rampardos would've actually been decent in this game

[tawdry flame]

How did you get the larvitar

[solar oriole]

is there a way to quickly release a bunch of pokemon. It's very slow to do it one by one.

[little nacelle]

press zr

[little nacelle]

A rooftop

im at the pc rn so

gotta go to my box

[dim plover]

So real the "tutorial" is so fucking long

[little nacelle]

Bleu sector 7

@tawdry flame Bleu sector 7, on a rooftop

[tawdry flame]

I can't get onto the roof yet because the elevator near it is unavailable

[little nacelle]

oof

iirc i beat some syndicate grunt

my greninja's IVS lmao

yeah i got a awful nature greninja lmao

this is just straight up FROM playing the game i didn't intentionally train shit

hmm

this totally wasn't a alpha

ok so like

@tawdry flame guess my newest team member

||hint: most of my team has been around since the start of the game||

literally the Ampharos and Talonflame were from wild zone 1

||hey that's a VERY funny date ||

[little nacelle]

congrats!

[surreal belfry]

Thx

[tawdry flame]

I got a shiny budew || right close to the mega froslass battle||

[storm bone]

What do you mean ||skamory|| has a mega? What!!?

It looks sick tho

[dim plover]

I love him so much

[little nacelle]

finally gave myself a new hair

fyi previously i was straight up just the player

[scarlet bear]

Hey so are team AZ all adults? Cuz Lida is talking about rent and stuff

[sharp elbow]

How do i destroy the purple sludge?

[dim plover]

Water type moves

[sharp elbow]

Ah thank you

[acoustic igloo]

The protags here definitely look older than the last few, at least (which makes sense, given that Calem/Serena looked about 16)

[dim plover]

Same just spent 20k on a whole look overhaul

Just had my first death

[acoustic igloo]

So... at what point does the game let you loose?
