pokemon-winds-waves

[sacred harbor]

That isn’t a horse leg tho

[storm fog]

Animal anatomy is super fucked up when it comes to wrists and knees and ankles

[jade ocean]

God damn that's like, 5 times smaller than an actual trex

[storm fog]

Most Pokemon are either smaller or way larger than you'd expect

Haunter is canonically like 5 feet tall

[jade ocean]

Araquanid is massive

Like I knew it's a big spider

But not "as tall as a human" big

For a Pokemon that is far wider than it is tall

[storm fog]

Apparently Alpha Tyrantum is this big

[plucky dune]

OMG IT IS SO BIG AND HIS EYES BEING HIDDEN MAKE IT LOOK SO SCARY

[storm fog]

Alpha Ampharos was a bit disappointing. It's only as tall as the player

Which is weirdly about the size of regular Ampharos

[sacred harbor]

You might have gotten a small one

Remember they come in different sizes now 😭

[storm fog]

And of corse.Alpha Steelix is really weird since it's always actually smaller than Steelix's maximum possible size

[storm fog]

Damn, really?

[sacred harbor]

Ya

[storm fog]

I liked them being max sized

[sacred harbor]

Cuz the jumbo pumpkin quest

[sturdy flower]

that's specifically just gourgeist and pumpkaboo

[storm fog]

I mean, Pumpkaboo already came in different sizes. Are you sure that's- yeah

[sacred harbor]

Is it

[sturdy flower]

they've always had four different sizes

[sacred harbor]

Cuz I remember they had diff sizes so when I heard about the quest I just assumed it was back

[storm fog]

That's a regular Gardevoir

[sacred harbor]

What

[storm fog]

Regular Pokemon come in many sizes

Alpha Pokemon have a specific size that's larger than normal usually

[dim plover]

I love it when the pokemon doesnt go back in its ball when i tell it to and when i hit a pokemon and nothing fucking happens while my blastoise goes from full health to none in 2 seconds

[sacred harbor]

Oh I forgot it was alpha

[storm fog]

There are some slight turn-based based mechanics

If you use a move or switch Pokemon, you're locked out for however long the animation is

It's to prevent switch spamming

[sacred harbor]

Is it just me or if your spamming a move when the ai trainers throw out a Mon does it always get to go first

[dim plover]

anyone wanna help me get a gengar?

i have a haunter i just need to trade it

[sturdy flower]

you can catch a Gengar later btw

[dim plover]

ok

[storm fog]

Depends on the move. Different moves have different start up lag. Moves like Bullet Punch have nearly zero startup lag and they teleport to the opponent. Moves like Thundershock have a ton of startup lag but always hit the opponent at a crazy distance.

[sacred harbor]

Mine died

[jade ocean]

I mean I'd imagine that's why it's a Gengar

[storm fog]

More powerful moves typically have much longer startup lag

[sturdy flower]

btw, if any of you guys wants to get a shiny alpha fossil, it's a 1/409600 chance

[sacred harbor]

Not funny 😭 now I gotta buy online

[storm fog]

It also depends on the speed stat of your Pokemon I think. Faster Pokemon use moves faster.

[jade ocean]

You can catch Gengar in the wild I believe?

[sacred harbor]

Can you

[sturdy flower]

you can

[jade ocean]

I mean I remember having one

And I don't have online

[sacred harbor]

I completed the wild zones

[sturdy flower]

definitely later in the game tho

dunno when

[sacred harbor]

And didn’t find it

[jade ocean]

So unless I'm delusional and forgot

[storm fog]

All of them? Even the ones added later and later into the game?

[sturdy flower]

there are 20

and even then, ralts can spawn but it's not listed in any of the wild zones

[dim plover]

whats a good replacement for kadabra?

[storm fog]

The 20th one has a ton of Pokemon from what I've seen on Serebii. Probably would be in that one

[jade ocean]

Ngl with how many wild zones were being added ||I was starting to wonder why Ivor is even trying to push for his goal because it'll end up happening naturally anyways||

[sacred harbor]

Complete crowns top right

[jade ocean]

20th has like 15 or so Pokemon, and then a shitload of possible Alphas

[sacred harbor]

I am missing a fair amount of mons tho

[jade ocean]

Not sure if Gengar is one of the Alphas

But it isn't part of the base pool

[sturdy flower]

all the wild zone spawns

[sacred harbor]

Maybe

[sturdy flower]

I've seen people say that every single mon can be an alpha

[jade ocean]

I know Metagross is one of the alphas but it spawns so infrequently I may farm at ||Lysandre Labs|| instead

[sacred harbor]

Right

[sturdy flower]

it's a chance that varies from 5% to 40% depending on the species

[sacred harbor]

I’m lowkey feeling like I should pull a all nighter and complete this dex

[jade ocean]

Man why does the Beldum line have to have a god awful catch rate

[sacred harbor]

Cuz it’s aura

[sturdy flower]

i keep thinking that it would be fun to do a full shinydex, but then i remember that i can't because of the shiny legendary distributions i never got

[jade ocean]

Is Metagross' Alpha Move worth going for?

[sturdy flower]

also

[sacred harbor]

Do they all only get 1 specific move

[sturdy flower]

all returning mons in the DLC

[sacred harbor]

MUDKIPPPPOOO

YESSSSSS

[sturdy flower]

||meloetta has been available only through event since she was introduced, except for the area zero dlc, but there's just one probably shinylocked||

[storm fog]

Gardevoir, Roserade, Starmie, Gengar, Dragonite, Froslass, and Chandelure

[sturdy flower]

what

[storm fog]

Meant to reply to this

[sacred harbor]

Try getting a manaphy 😭

[jade ocean]

I love Legends Arceus!

[sturdy flower]

manaphy blows though

[sacred harbor]

Is it it that now?

[jade ocean]

Better than Meloetta

[sacred harbor]

I didn’t play that

[jade ocean]

Well unless you mean by design

[sacred harbor]

So I’m thinking about how it’s only available from like the rangers game

[jade ocean]

Then I have 0 say in the matter

[wispy kernel]

unfortunately no

decent chunk of pokemon cant be

even ones you would expect to be there like Umbreon and Espeon arent

[sacred harbor]

Legendaries

[storm fog]

If you want a mixed attacker, go with Starmie. If you want a frail special attacker, go with Roserade, Gengar, or Froslass. If you want type coverage, go with Gardevoir or Dragonite. If you want high DPS, pick Roserade for somwthing faster or pick Chandelure for something bulkier

[wispy kernel]

Not even legendaries theres just a lot of pokemon that cant be alpha there

[jade ocean]

Deoxys, every Gen 4 Mythical, Meloetta are all available without events

And I'm hoping that ZA will allow all the Kalos Mythicals to be obtained without events too, but I'm doubtful

[storm fog]

Certain story-related Pokemon are alpha-locked and even size-locked iirc

For Legends Arceus it was that way

[wispy kernel]

not entirely

[jade ocean]

Roserade isn't that much faster than Chandelure, is it?

[wispy kernel]

PLA required save data from BDSP and SWSH

[jade ocean]

90 vs 80

[wispy kernel]

for all the mythicals

[jade ocean]

Those aren't events tbf

[plucky dune]

just caught a alpha cacoona with electro web and has max ivs for health

[jade ocean]

Those are just entire other fucking games

[sacred harbor]

Is eternal floette considered like mythical what’s with it

[plucky dune]

think im evolve it and replace my bedrill

[storm fog]

Movesets

[jade ocean]

But having to pay a fuckton of money to get a mythical is better than not being able to get a mythical

[jade ocean]

Fair enough

[wispy kernel]

still sucks tho

[jade ocean]

I mean technically

If I booked a flight

To another country

For the mythical

That is paying a fuckton to get a mythical

[sacred harbor]

I’m just hacking it in if that’s the case 😭

If I wanted it that bad

[jade ocean]

But a flight costs a lot more than a ridiculously expensive Switch game

[storm fog]

So like, why does Mega Emboar just get a shit ton of Special Defense and 0 to regular defense?

[wispy kernel]

bolstering it’s weak points I would assume

[jade ocean]

Gets 10 to Defence

But that is strange yeah

[sacred harbor]

So he’s even weaker to feraligatr duhh

[jade ocean]

Emboar's Defence is equal to its SpD before Mega

[storm fog]

Thunder Punch hits like a truck

[wispy kernel]

oh

nevermind then

[jade ocean]

And it isn't particularly high at 65

[storm fog]

Plus Thunder Punch comes out super fast

[sacred harbor]

Dragon type

[wispy kernel]

jesus christ

[jade ocean]

Though the high HP prevents it from dying too quickly

[wispy kernel]

it only has 75 defense in mega

[jade ocean]

110/75 isn't good, but

It isn't bad

And 110/110 is certainly good

[storm fog]

Mega evolution doesn't happen till slightly later in the match

[wispy kernel]

that is true

[sacred harbor]

We’re saying mega embour

😭

[wispy kernel]

couldnt they have not put the extra 10 points in special attack though

[storm fog]

Regular Emboar also gets Thunder Punch

[wispy kernel]

couldnt they have just put it in defense too

[jade ocean]

Basically every Mega gives points to the weaker attacking stats

[sacred harbor]

But if I’m saying mega embour is weaker to mega feraligtr then regular embour

[jade ocean]

If anything, I'm surprised Gamefreak only gave Emboar 10

Since Emboar is very much a slow, somewhat frail mixed attacke

[storm fog]

Mega evolutions: Yay 100 points added to BST!
Starmie for some reason: 🙂

[jade ocean]

That reason is awfully Huge Power shaped isn't it

[wispy kernel]

Yeah

[storm fog]

True

[wispy kernel]

Mawile and Medicham also got +40 attack

[jade ocean]

Mawile gets 42

[wispy kernel]

that makes sense

[jade ocean]

Slightly higher Attack, slightly higher Attack boost

[sacred harbor]

Isn’t it to make it closer for megas to all have similar bats

Bsts

[wispy kernel]

it is also quite weak

[jade ocean]

Fair enough right

[wispy kernel]

It’s only for Mawile, Medicham and Starmie so

[jade ocean]

If that was the case, Mega Sableye would get a boost

[wispy kernel]

I’d assume that it means Huge Power

[storm fog]

Oh and also, we're all in agreement that Mega Kangaskhan is found shot dead in Atlanta, right?

[jade ocean]

Which

Uhh

[wispy kernel]

Oh yeah

[jade ocean]

I dont want to imagine

[wispy kernel]

At least right now in ZA

[jade ocean]

Rip bozo

[robust wren]

Also then Mega Dragonite and Garchomp wouldn't exist with their 700 BST

[sacred harbor]

Who are we kidding tho game freak can’t balance shit so the random bst changes were never gonna be equal

[jade ocean]

They are in every other game

The only reason they aren't equal here is because otherwise Starmie, Medicham and Mawile would be far too pathetic

[wispy kernel]

They literally always are

[sturdy flower]

what a crazy take

[jade ocean]

Well, Starmie would probably still be good

[sturdy flower]

is there a list somewhere

[robust wren]

Honestly Gamefreak making all the BSTs completely numerically equal in a bid to balance them is absolutely something I would expect of the guys who made Flutter Mane and Dracovish

[wispy kernel]

The only exceptions are these specific guys which all share something in common and Mega ||Zygarde||

[jade ocean]

Was referring to Competitive

[wispy kernel]

Serebii has em

[storm fog]

Imagine if Starmie's actual ability was speed boost or something

[jade ocean]

Where it is the opposite of crazy

[sweet crag]

Mega muk

[sturdy flower]

ah competitive

[jade ocean]

So unless youre referring to opinions, it is very much not a crazy take

And if you are, then I'm not too sure which I prefer

[storm fog]

Does Aegislash still have its ability in Z-A?

[jade ocean]

Yes

[sacred harbor]

Yes

[robust wren]

I kinda prefer Melo design wise cause I feel like you could do so much better than Manaphy for a Clione Pokemon

[jade ocean]

I've seen it with my very own eyes

[storm fog]

Does it work exactly the same or is it different?

[jade ocean]

Right before it instantly got slammed by my Emboar's Fire Punch

[wispy kernel]

Considering how much Starmie got a shit ton of new physical moves this game, and an extra 40 base points in it’s mega which only other huge power pokemon get, it’s almost definitely getting huge power to accompany it’s new playstyle

[jade ocean]

Seems to work the same as before

[sacred harbor]

Idk about the stats changing but I can check rn

[jade ocean]

Since Emboar's Fire Punch did a lot more after it changed its stance

By a lot more

[storm fog]

Ok so you still need King's Shield then

[jade ocean]

I mean I did less than half its HP with Fire Punch and Earthquake

[sacred harbor]

I’ll make mine use moves hold up

[jade ocean]

Then I instantly murdered it in the next Fire Punch

[robust wren]

Tell me this wouldn't work way better as an Ultra Beast or something rather than what Manaphy did with the design

[jade ocean]

(It was an Alpha btw)

[jade ocean]

It definitely would for sure

[wispy kernel]

Manaphy is a pretty boring design for such a weird freak (positive)

[jade ocean]

Manaphy is one of those Pokemon that doesn't look at all like its inspiration

cough cough Kangaskhan

[storm fog]

At least Kangaskhan has a pouch

[wispy kernel]

It’s just a mascot design

not a clione

[sturdy flower]

https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/unobtainablealpha.shtml

it says the only non-alphas are the legendaries

[wispy kernel]

oh I was talking about zone 20’s alpha spawns

[sacred harbor]

And I tried protect and it didn’t switch back to shield so has to be kings guard

[sturdy flower]

ahhh

[wispy kernel]

not just alphas in general

[sturdy flower]

so in general, they can all be alphas except for the trio

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[sturdy flower]

fuck yeah

[wispy kernel]

any pokemon that spawns in the wild can be alpha

[sturdy flower]

shiny alpha gardevoir here i come

[storm fog]

I really wish there was a cowboy hat in the game

[sacred harbor]

What

[wispy kernel]

what

[sacred harbor]

I’m thinking

Then the fossils

Can’t be aloha

[wispy kernel]

nope

[sacred harbor]

That’s it prob

[wispy kernel]

they can

[sacred harbor]

What

[sturdy flower]

they can

[wispy kernel]

they can be alpha

[sturdy flower]

i said it before man

[sacred harbor]

You can catch the fossils

[wispy kernel]

they can be shiny too

No

just restore them

[sturdy flower]

it's a 1% chance when reviving

[wispy kernel]

they can just randomly be alphas

[sacred harbor]

Oh

[storm fog]

I wanted to have a cowboy type look going on but there's no cowboy hat. Just caps, trilbies, hairbands, beanies, and bucket hats

[sturdy flower]

which makes the chance of a shiny alpha fossil 1/409600

[wispy kernel]

and headphones. shoutout to the headphones in this game

[sacred harbor]

Wait that feels like gambling 1% that’s what 2m poke dollars

[storm fog]

Btw why is Mega ||Zygarde||'s stat spread so fucking weird?

[wispy kernel]

I hope every pokemon game has headphones available going forward

[sturdy flower]

0,00024% chance of getting a shiny alpha fossil

[wispy kernel]

It only gets +70 to it’s BST

[sturdy flower]

you can just reset

[jade ocean]

It has a massive death cannon on its back

I think that explains the SpA

[sturdy flower]

it doesn't autosave when reviving

[wispy kernel]

and yeah they SUPER minmaxed that fucker

[sacred harbor]

Oh fr

[wispy kernel]

It autosaves the first time you revive a fossil

[storm fog]

"Hey you know that somewhat fast, bulky physical attacker? What if we took away all its attack and defense and put it ALL in special attack?"

[wispy kernel]

never again

[jade ocean]

I wonder why it only got 70, it's not like Gamefreak gave a shit balancing the other Mega Legendaries

[wispy kernel]

maybe they didnt want to have it have 800+ BST

it is about on par with the others now

just 4 points below Rayquaza and the Mewtwos

[jade ocean]

Also saying it took away all its Defence is a straight lie

[wispy kernel]

and 6 points above the primals

[jade ocean]

This fucker still has a good Defence stat

And remember

||216 fucking HP||

[storm fog]

Compared to before, it's nothing

[jade ocean]

Bro's still tanking basically any neutral hit

[wispy kernel]

Ok but have you considered that it will simply kill fucking everything before it gets hit

[storm fog]

Still, the weirdest fuckint switchup to go from a mostly strictly physical attacker to a strict special attacker

[jade ocean]

Even ||with being at like 60-70% after Power Contruct's healing||

[storm fog]

Spoiled

[sacred harbor]

Is its move 200 or 100 power

[jade ocean]

The switch is weird though

[wispy kernel]

they really minmaxed that bitch

[sacred harbor]

I never found out

[wispy kernel]

200

[jade ocean]

Oops

Mb

Mild brain fart

[sacred harbor]

That’s crazy

[wispy kernel]

it is

[jade ocean]

What confuses me so much is that the leaks reported it had 100 BP

[storm fog]

Dragonite's is also a bit weird, but Dragonite was a mixed attacker with a really good special pool anyways

[jade ocean]

And they were correct on quite literally everything else, even movepools

[wispy kernel]

its interesting though how you can ||only mega evolve after power construct happens||

[jade ocean]

So I wonder, why exactly is this?

[wispy kernel]

maybe it was a last minute change

[jade ocean]

It may be that its power will drop to 100 in future games

[sacred harbor]

||I haven’t caught it cuz I was getting wiped by the 100 form so I moved on to dex completion to lvl up some of my team cuz it’s like lvl 70 average other then starter||

[jade ocean]

I'm not too sure

[sacred harbor]

Shut didn’t know that

Shit*

[wispy kernel]

I think that would be stupid honestly

[storm fog]

TFW you mega evolve and now your only good ||Ground|| STAB is ||Earth Power||

[sturdy flower]

yeah that's what i thought would happen

which makes perfect sense honestly

[jade ocean]

This is the main reason why I think, if ||Nihil Light dropped to 100 BP||, it would only be Ubers and not AG

[wispy kernel]

It has to be ||stronger than core enforcer, which is 100 bp rn||

[jade ocean]

Though contrary to what some have said, it won't be irrelevant

[jade ocean]

||It literally hits Fairy for neutral||

I think asking for a BP increase is a bit greedy

[wispy kernel]

||Still, I feel like it should still be at least a bit stronger, maybe only like 120||

[jade ocean]

When only a singular type can halt it

That is weak to the secondary type

[storm fog]

Also it's really funny that the one time that Close Combat Malamar could be a threat, it loses its Contrary ability in the game

[sacred harbor]

Imagine if it’s (prob not) but imagine if it’s spread move in vgc doubles

[jade ocean]

God forbid you aren't running ||Corviknight or Blissey||

[storm fog]

Mega Malamar has the attack stat to make Close Combat viable, but no ability

[jade ocean]

102? Viable?

As a Mega with 0 item slot?

That's a good joke

[storm fog]

On a Pokemon with contrary? Yes.

[wispy kernel]

Malamar is known specifically for spamming Superpower dude

[storm bone]

There is so many galar mentions

[jade ocean]

Bro may be getting bulkier but he sure as hell ain't hitting harder

I think for it to do threatening damage it'd need Superpower

[sacred harbor]

Ah intimidate my beloved

[wispy kernel]

Which it has always had

[jade ocean]

In ZA yeah no I don't see it working

[jade ocean]

Yeah, so idk why mention Close Combat

We aren't running Superpower Close Combat Malamar

[wispy kernel]

it gains close combat in this game

[storm fog]

Yeaj

[jade ocean]

Mega Malamar's just gonna be like

PU at best

And that's the end of its sad story

[storm fog]

It can also learn Giga Drain, which is special attack, but still

[jade ocean]

As one of the worst Megas of all time

Even Pyroar will be better than this mf

[storm fog]

Nah, that's Pyroar

Mega Pyroar literally has the stats of like, Pidgeot. Regular Pidgeot. It's really bad.

[jade ocean]

Pyroar at least poses an immediate threat, with a better type, with better speed

[jade ocean]

129 SpA and 126 Speed is NOT regular Pidgeot

[storm fog]

BST

Oh nvm it's higher than I thought, but still

[jade ocean]

💀

[storm fog]

Those are like, pretty average stats for most Pokemon these days

[jade ocean]

Bro removed 100 BST from Pyroar or something

It has better bulk than Pidgeot with 5 more Speed and 6 less SpA

[storm fog]

Honestly yeah kinda

[jade ocean]

Ofc, Pidgeot has No Guard Hurricane

Which is why it's a strong Mega

[sturdy flower]

i really hope they don't fuck up mega ||darkrai||

[jade ocean]

But that should be a sign that Mega Pyroar is salvageable with the proper ability

And it has Fire STAB with Ground Coverage too

That's really good

Well, assuming it keeps Earth Power from ZA

If it doesn't then that's unfortunate

[storm fog]

Mega Pyroar is basically Mega Houndoom at home to me

[jade ocean]

Mega Houndoom at home >>> Mega Malamar

[wispy kernel]

||I hope they give it like super compound eyes. undo the fuckery that Smeargle did||

[jade ocean]

I'm afraid Malamar's just a massive fucking fraud

It's so sad

[wispy kernel]

its so sad

Yeah

[jade ocean]

I dont even think we're saying it's so sad for the same thing but I agree ||Darkrai's fate is a tragedy||

[sacred harbor]

Decided to be toxic and spoil it to whoever runs into me in online

[wispy kernel]

anyways I made a tier list for the megas based on design

not in any particular order or anything

[sacred harbor]

Is this in order inside of tiers as well

Ok

[wispy kernel]

no

too lazy for that

[jade ocean]

||No Guard Mega Darkrai coming up trust||

[storm fog]

Mega Eelektross' stats are also disappointing to me
Why tf did they give it so much physical attack? Its move pool is mostly special attack

[jade ocean]

Eelektross was always slow, frail and mixed

[wispy kernel]

its so sad

[jade ocean]

And sadly, not much has changed

[sacred harbor]

I refuse

[wispy kernel]

I wish we got good physical electric type moves

[storm fog]

Which was its problem in the first place

[jade ocean]

Supershit Slame and Wack Charge

[wispy kernel]

Why did they make it an electric type take down

[jade ocean]

Why is this a Jump Kick clone

[wispy kernel]

its so fucked up

[sacred harbor]

Omg I realized I’m cooked for online

[jade ocean]

Why is it not a High Jump Kick clone

[wispy kernel]

not even high jump kick

just jump kick

[jade ocean]

JUMP KICK DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IN GEN 9

[wispy kernel]

its so fucked up

[jade ocean]

If it was a HJK clone I'd gladly call it a good move

[sacred harbor]

Bro my switch can’t connect to the wifi I’m using so I have to hotspot wifi from my pc

[jade ocean]

But noooo, it just HAD to be Jump Kick

Like

Can we just turn Volt Tackle into a Head Smash clone

And turn Wild Charge into a Flare Blitz clone?

Please, thanks

[wispy kernel]

please

we need this

so badly

[jade ocean]

Anyways if Mega Dragalge doesn't either keep Adaptability or gain something insane like Contrary or Regenerator I'll be very sad

[storm fog]

I really hope Mega Hawlucha gets a unique ability that makes Flying Press an actually good move instead of a mediocre move. Like, have it ignore type combos that have NFE if it also hits super, so that way it just hits super anyways.

[sacred harbor]

Best poison mega we thinking for online

[jade ocean]

I can't say I'm an expert at the ZA meta so I dunno

[sacred harbor]

I’m saying thinking tho

Like suggestions

[storm fog]

Like if it hits a rock/fighting type, it hits 4x super effective because Flying is super effective against fighting and fighting is super effective against rock

[wispy kernel]

yeah theres too many cases in this game in which the base pokemon is already just really good to the point where its gonna be pretty hard to make the mega better

[sacred harbor]

Bassicslly pick one cuz I can’t despise

Deside

Decide

[jade ocean]

Gengar's a fast fuck and hits like a truck

But is on the frailer side

Dragalge is bulky and hits decently hard but is slow

[sacred harbor]

If he’s frail then do you think he’s strong enough to one shot most like things I’m gonna run into

[storm fog]

That's how it's always been since gen 4

[jade ocean]

Beedrill is what you pick if you want to be frailer than Gengar and slightly harder hitting yet still less threatening than Dragalge

Don't pick Beedrill

At least that's my opinion

[storm fog]

Beedrill users when my Lucario uses Bullet Punch and then Zen Headbutt

[jade ocean]

But it's mostly grounded in Singles OU

[sacred harbor]

I like the idea of drag leg if it lives 1 attack then I can pick to give my Point to forth instead of trade randomly

[storm fog]

KOs even when Lucario isn't mega btw

[jade ocean]

65/40 💔

Pheromosa ass bulk bro

[sacred harbor]

Wait I need it for fairy types btw

[jade ocean]

Literally less bulk than Tepig

[storm fog]

Mega Beedrill's only claim to usefulness (Not fame. Usefulness.) was having adaptability. Wirhout that, it's just ass

[wispy kernel]

tbh I been running a fire water electric kinda core

charizard, feraligatr and ampharos

[jade ocean]

At least it has non dogshit SpD

[sacred harbor]

What about vineasaur

[wispy kernel]

not as good as fire water grass but I dont have a good grass type

[storm fog]

Mega Manectric also doesn't get its iconic double intimidate that made it so valuable before

[wispy kernel]

Venusaur would be good

[sacred harbor]

Or ugh the other plant weeping bell or wtv

[jade ocean]

Venusaur's a fat fuck and hits pretty hard too

[storm fog]

Venusaur isn't fat anymore. Thick fat ability gone

[sacred harbor]

Cuz I need it to counter fairy so I want to resist it not natural

[jade ocean]

It's still pretty bulky though

80/123/120

[sacred harbor]

Better than the new megs vitribell?

[jade ocean]

Victreebel does hit harder with 135 SpA vs Venusaur's 122 but it is both slower and especially frailer

80/85/95 on Vic

[sacred harbor]

Oh ya no then back to the frog

[storm fog]

I see most people using Charizard in online matches. Usually Charizard Y. Probably due to speed stat allowing more move spam

[wispy kernel]

I like using Charizard X ngl

[storm fog]

By the way, Bulldoze is fucking busted. It's AoE and debuffs speed and it's a bit spammable

Somehow it ends up outperforming EARTHQUAKE

[sacred harbor]

Omg I’m cooked I used it for my casual and now it’s got so many evs for ark

[jade ocean]

ZA Meta seems very wacky

[jade ocean]

Kelpsy Berry time

[sacred harbor]

I just want like a general 3 Mon triangle type thing goin

[storm fog]

I once used Infestation to prevent switching out and then had MY pokemon chase after them to use Zen Headbutt, but somehow they just OUTRAN THE DURATION OF INFESTATION AND NEVER GOT HIT

[sacred harbor]

I have like nothing for fire types I’m realizing

[storm fog]

Many Pokemon can learn Flamethrower. It's pretty good.

[jade ocean]

What's crazier, freezing Fire or Cancer Beam

[sacred harbor]

Mack I’m stupid I have feraligtr

I’m thinking that does fire dmg not deals to it

Do I need fire tho?

[storm fog]

Ampharos can also learn Fire Punch, but it doesn't do much

[storm fog]

It's always good coverage considering you can only have 3 Pokemon.

Then again, based on the meta, poison type is better since Mega Meganium is somewhat popular

[sacred harbor]

Time to look at frogs moveset

[plucky dune]

||Ok so i have reached the part where i have to freeze the clawitzer fountain in order to find whats her name and it needs a pokemon with icebeam..... i have a clawitzer.... with icebeam.... and im freezing the water around the clawitzer fountain||

[storm fog]

You never really see ice types in online matches, so people usually run ground type moves to cover steel types.

[sacred harbor]

Did it do the thing then?

[plucky dune]

||i did freeze it||

[jade ocean]

Well ig this isn't directly linked to this

[plucky dune]

||WAIT ITS DRAGALGE TIME YIPPIE YIPPIE YIPPIE||

[jade ocean]

So I'll go rant about people being idiots in #other-pokemon-games instead

[sturdy flower]

I don't strategize, I don't plan coverage, i use the pokemon i like, and if I can't win, then i don't win

[sacred harbor]

This is why feraligatr is 25 lvls higher then my next highest lvl mon

[sturdy flower]

what level is feraligatr

[sacred harbor]

100

[sturdy flower]

damn

[sacred harbor]

Next higest is a tie between the legendarys

[sturdy flower]

it's kinda crazy that yveltal and xerneas aren't getting megas

deep down i believe they will in the fabled second dlc

[sacred harbor]

I mean palkia and dialga got forms and arches just got a type no

[sturdy flower]

yeah i guess

[sacred harbor]

Warped ah stat spread

[sturdy flower]

i can't wait to get my hands on the game and hunt a shiny alpha garde

[storm fog]

SHINY KROKOROK JUST SPAWNED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

AND I CAUGHT IT

Saw a shiny, threw a repeat ball, let that shit fly and it was mine

[plucky dune]

gang i just killed A chandalure with my arbok and it fel tso good

[jade ocean]

True

[sturdy flower]

i wanna pick the female trainer but I don't want to play through the whole game with urbaine

[sacred harbor]

Alpha Camerupt I used for the side quest

[wispy kernel]

Wild Zone 8 is nothing compared to that fuckass group of Pyroars in Zone 17

[jade ocean]

Also true

[sturdy flower]

what do i do

[jade ocean]

Pieces of shit vs war criminals

[wispy kernel]

[sacred harbor]

Omg Evans sue gets earthquake

Venasaur

[sturdy flower]

pretty sure my switch can't be modded

[wispy kernel]

damn

[sturdy flower]

even if it could, it just seems like too much effort

[wispy kernel]

fair

[sturdy flower]

can i pretend to be a woman with the right clothes

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[storm bone]

Mega ||Froslass|| is funny but it make the inspiration of the mon even more clear

[sacred harbor]

Bro I was in o line play and got hit with a power outage

FIRST BATTLE ONLINE 😭

[robust wren]

The universe itself is voicing it's displeasure over the online requirement for the Kalos starter Megas

[sacred harbor]

😭 bro I was so happy with the veanasaur pick cuz I led feraligatr into meganium

And but it with a crazy sludge bomb

Hit

[robust wren]

||Yeah the entire design ethos for Froslass was looking pretty but also having a barely concealed evil side, both of which were really played up in the Mega||

[daring finch]

||Heheh funny Froslass tree||

[sacred harbor]

Welp time for clash Royale till my power comes back

[daring finch]

Hehehehaw

[sacred harbor]

It’s back

[daring finch]

Got it already

[sacred harbor]

I mean the power

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/0-gif-14224457178163031750

[sacred harbor]

I had that emote form gems not the stupid 5 dollar thing

Ok time for za battle part. W

[daring finch]

That emote was like 23

[sacred harbor]

2*

[storm bone]

It’s based on a ||snow woman yokai , which froze people, it looks more like her now||

[robust wren]

||I'm well aware of the Yuki onna thing, and yeah Froslass adapts that legend pretty well||

||I'm a particularly big fan of Froslass having a face that looks vaguely skull like. Really fitting design choice||

||The Mega probably put Froslass back into my top 5 favorite Pokemon, and my overall favorite Ice type. Sorry, Weavile.||

[sacred harbor]

10 kills and I’m second 😭

[storm bone]

Same

[sacred harbor]

Bro if ppl didn’t get free ralts dragon type would go rampant

Greninjia unlocked

[sturdy flower]

i loooove ||mega froslass||

they did her so much justice

[daring finch]

Okay so wehere is hawlucha?

Nvm did like 5 mins of exploring and found an alpha

[storm bone]

Mega ||clefable|| is so goofy I love it

[wispy kernel]

so I’ve been talking with my friends who’ve also beaten the game and they all say that excadrill sweeps like every fucking fight in the game and now I wish I used one

[daring finch]

Oh yeah I can confirm

[wispy kernel]

average excadrill haver vs average non excadrill haver

[storm fog]

Wow, online traders are assholes. I just wanted to evolve a machoke and BOTH times they get stolen

[sacred harbor]

I’ll give you machoke if you give me one

Like both give each other

[storm fog]

Ok

[sacred harbor]

If you want it back tho that’s chill I just want the register

[storm fog]

I wanted my Alpha Machoke back but it's gone now. Now I just have a regular Machoke

[sacred harbor]

Oh

Ya rip

[storm fog]

Anyways, code?

[sacred harbor]

Btw have you finished the game 😭

My trainer card is major spoilers

[storm fog]

No I've been grinding but it's fine

[sacred harbor]

K

Just close your eyes

12369874

Uhm

Guessing that wasn’t you

[storm fog]

I'm still on the code screen waiting

[sacred harbor]

I went back to it dw

What’s with the checkmarks

Or thumbs uo

[storm fog]

No idea

[sacred harbor]

Is that for guys you don’t have on dex?

[storm bone]

Mega ||Starmie|| was unexpected

[storm fog]

Can we do Kadabra next? I also need that one

[sacred harbor]

Bet I lowkey haven’t done any

[main hearth]

||it is a reference to old shows villains who looked very very similar

Feraligatr doesn’t get that justice however and just looks bad||

[storm fog]

Public execution for bad opinion

[sacred harbor]

Valid take

Bro I just traded all my screws in thinking I had them all only for the guy to tell me there’s 23 more that he just wants

[storm bone]

I could never have guessed it

[storm fog]

I still don't get why they implemented anti-homeless benches in the game

[sacred harbor]

They prob didn’t think much of it

[storm bone]

It’s so weird going to the hisui museum exposition

I feel sad

The spewpa quest is so funny

[main hearth]

||I refuse to accept the badass alligators best mega option was cutting the end of a super sized dollar store soup spoon and shoving it behind his head was the best route||

[main hearth]

It’s honestly a really interesting rabbit hole on the series it references
Makes me actually see the charm in that goofy thing

||if feraligatr was in his in battle form all the time for his mega id like it
But he isn’t his idle is possibke the dumbest Pokémon period||

[sacred harbor]

Chat I only need 23 more mons in the dex

[sturdy flower]

lock in then

[sacred harbor]

8 of them are eevelution

[sharp elbow]

Do i have to do ALL of Mables missions?

To get the Shiny Charm?

[sacred harbor]

The closer I’m getting the closer I’m thinking yes

[sharp elbow]

I gotta do alot of Catching and Evolving to fill out this pokedex then. 💔💔

[wispy kernel]

all but like one

unfortunately, you do need to do 1000 battles to get it 💔

[sacred harbor]

Bruh I’m only at 209

[wispy kernel]

yup

it sucks

[sacred harbor]

Omg I’m gonna have to buy all mega stones

Bruh

[wispy kernel]

yup

guys I’m rich

[sacred harbor]

Tell me it isn’t catch 100 of each type and it’s only 50 😭

[wispy kernel]

it is only 50

[daring finch]

Garchomp makes online ranked so awful

[amber hearth]

arent they locking a bunch behind a paywall?

[amber hearth]

thats an insult to sonic 06

at least sonic let you LEAVE the city

X · Oct 16, 2025, 2:47 PM

look at how yveltal moves

[sturdy flower]

a bunch? literally just three, and it's very likely that they'll be distributed normally later

[daring finch]

I think they might be referring to the dlc?

[sturdy flower]

that isn't a paywall

it's dlc content

[main hearth]

If it costs money to be able to access the content it’s still a paywall
Same case of borderlands weapons that are really good or gear that’s amazing being locked behind paywall isn’t corrected it’s just true

[junior charm]

vro what

didnt know u could kill trainers

[storm bone]

In a battle zone there is an hex maniac that says after being defeated : « what does « you’re not the one »  means ? »

[amber hearth]

this right here

I dislike how Pokemon keeps doing this and we're supposed to treat it as normal

its a scummy business move that makes the game less enjoyable

[indigo mango]

how does one reset? is it really close game and start again or is there a faster way? trying later for an alpha tyrantrum buti dont wanna spend 20k for hundrets of fossils to get one

[indigo mango]

damn how. im at around 200k and that without grinding

im guessig you spend it all lul

im currently at mega absol fight just for refrence formy money

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[indigo mango]

these AZ Royal battles give so much cash

especially with the canari plushes

[wispy kernel]

I spend so much on clothes in this game

[indigo mango]

lul

wonder if a 3.0 modifier is even possible, my defeated trainer record is 25 and that gave me a 2.5 modifier. guessing defeating 30 would get me 3.0 but like how would i even do that

[storm bone]

Yay there’s a ||Neo team Flare|| with actually good designs

[indigo mango]

is this for me or

or spoiler for like new clothing later

[storm bone]

Mega ||pyroar|| is funny

[indigo mango]

oh wait you said yay not yeah

current megas i could use since i can get the stones are emboar, absol and charizard x and y

dont think i have any other mon with a mega that i can buy now

most my team is mega available tho, got Emboar, Chestnaught, ||Barbaracle||, Pangoro, Aegeslash, Krookodile and i know atleasst the first 3 can mega

[sturdy flower]

the first 3 indeed

[indigo mango]

im think of removing aegeslash tho (currently its a doublade) cause its sooooooo goddamn slow

its so slow it barely hits cause by the time its animation finishes the mons just casually walk away from the attack

replace it with litwick ocne i find one

[lime compass]

I accidentally closed my game without saving and I just beat the final boss battle now I have to do it all over again

[indigo mango]

biggiey yikes

[sacred harbor]

Omg rip

[storm bone]

We get to explore the ||old team flare hideout||

It gives fnaf vibes now

[little nacelle]

OH MY GOD

HES FUCKING STEREOTYPE BRITISH

"DAPPER CHAP"

[lime compass]

I beat the final boss again and this time I will save

[little nacelle]

???????????? GEN 5?

[sacred harbor]

Can anybody touch trade espeon sylveon and / or umbreon 😭 not tryna do 3 friendship things

[storm fog]

Buy a shit ton of berries

You can find them in that little desert circle wild area

[sharp elbow]

H-Hell Nah. I’m better off without a charm. I just got myself a Shiny Spinirak.

[storm fog]

But you do have to buy them one at a time which sucks

[storm fog]

Considering how fast paced the battles are, that's really not a lot

[sacred harbor]

I’m at 209 😭

[storm fog]

Oh

[sharp elbow]

Yea. But i don’t feel like it.

Trying to get myself a Zone 13 Shiny Rn.

[sacred harbor]

I’m currently research lvl 42 😭

[solar oriole]

Oh looks like you literally can't get the shiny charm without trading pokemon to other people.

[sacred harbor]

Ya

Multiple times

[solar oriole]

Ugh. Screw that.

[ebon tapir]

Yo

[sacred harbor]

And it’s gotta be trades where the pokemon your receive evolves

[ebon tapir]

Uh i need some

Opinions

I was walking to a quest in the city

Right

And when i turned the corner

Litterly infront of me appear’d 2 shiny pidgey’s, and they both tried to fly away at the same time (to de-spawn), i only could capture 1 of em, the other one despawned

(Spawned litterly 5 steps infront of me)

Is this a shiny fail XD

[sacred harbor]

Ok all I’m missing is goodra and then my dex is done

[ebon tapir]

Lol

[ebon tapir]

Could you awnser my thing tho

[sacred harbor]

What

[ebon tapir]

Bruh

I asked if you could give me your opinion

[storm fog]

Goodra line or just Goodra?

[sacred harbor]

Just goodra

I need the rain that’s it rn

[sacred harbor]

Alr done base dex now time for the mega one 😭

[acoustic igloo]

How do you get the Link Cables in this game?

[sacred harbor]

You can’t

[acoustic igloo]

FUCK

[storm bone]

That’s the neat part

You don’t

[ebon tapir]

Yo when i post my team

Do i put spoiler on

The picture

[storm bone]

Wait is the pebble a ||mega stone||?

[storm bone]

Depends if there are Pokémon holding un revealed mega stones or not

[ebon tapir]

I want to change the 2nd mon on my team to a grass type that doesn’t have poison type, or ghost, add’d to it. Suggestions?

[storm bone]

Abomasnow

[ebon tapir]

Hm

[ebon tapir]

Can’t get yet i think

[storm bone]

It’s in zone 12

[ebon tapir]

I only have 10 zones

[storm bone]

Oh then you’ll get it soon then

[ebon tapir]

Also what do you think of my team

With abonosnow add’d then i mean

I also could do chespin

But thats a 3rd starter

So eh

Bc i could use my alpha victribell

But yknow

2 poison types

So eh

[lime compass]

Gogoat

[ebon tapir]

Eh

Thats mid tho ngl

[lime compass]

That is true

[ebon tapir]

So what are my options without the trade grass ghost ones

And

Grass poison duo typing

[sacred harbor]

Like nothing

[ebon tapir]

Chespin, abonosnow, gogoat

Leafon

Pansage

[sacred harbor]

Meganium

[ebon tapir]

Don’t have

[storm bone]

I have 3 starters in my team

[ebon tapir]

I don’t like a 3rd starter tho

Like same reason why i didn’t add charmender

[lime compass]

Tangrowth exist

[ebon tapir]

He’s in the game?

[sacred harbor]

Not in this game what

[lime compass]

He isnt?

[sacred harbor]

No

Trust me I just completed the dex

[acoustic igloo]

You might be thinking of Legends Arceus

Tangrowth's in that one

[ebon tapir]

abonosnow, leafon

Don’t want a 3rd starter

[lime compass]

Probally

[ebon tapir]

Gogoat and pansage is kinda mid

[sacred harbor]

Legion

Leafeon

[ebon tapir]

Idk how to feel about leafon

Kinda a starter, but isn’t

Bc eevee

[solar oriole]

Alright. Maybe it's just me, but I appreciate that they actually gave flamethrower an animation. And one that looks good at that.

[ebon tapir]

So abonosnow it is i guess

[sacred harbor]

That’s all your choices lol

[main hearth]

Yea
Like in borderlands it makes sense
Not every build relied on dlc stuff and the best item in the game wasn’t even dlc for bl3 (the revolter shield is so insanely busted)

[lime compass]

Atleast abomasnow has a mega

[ebon tapir]

Can we talk about how

There are like 10 grass types

And 5/10

Are grass poison

😐

[tepid moss]

No, we can't! How dare you?

[desert current]

I wish Gogoat had a mega....

[solar oriole]

Darkness calls, young one!

[ebon tapir]

Like the entire Venasaur, rosarade, victribell,

For example

[solar oriole]

Other NPC: "I don't see anything. I will just stare at this noibat motionlessly.

[boreal turtle]

Guys look at me

[ebon tapir]

Im unsure what to give my character as clothes ngl

Then the base

[boreal turtle]

You have the coat that they gave away with the reservation?

That one is pretty cool

[ebon tapir]

?

Idk

Prob not

[boreal turtle]

When u bought the game did the store gift u a ticket with a cosmetic dlc?

[ebon tapir]

No

I don’t have those stores in my country anymore

[boreal turtle]

Ow:(

[ebon tapir]

That give extra dlc stuff for resevations

Bc they went bankrupt

[boreal turtle]

Damn thats sad

[ebon tapir]

Bc online shops n all

Competition

[ebon tapir]

Yea-

So-

Can’t get shiny miradon and koridon either

Bc of that

Only thing i have left to buy games

[desert current]

I'm sad they gave Dragalge a mega, but NOT Clawitzer... They were version-exclusive counterparts in XY :(

[ebon tapir]

Besides online

Is a non game main shop

That sells some games

[desert current]

dang...

[boreal turtle]

There is a shopping district, if you go to the window you can see what they sell inside in case something catches your attention.

-# why did that send twice

[ebon tapir]

Ye i k

But that doesn’t really help me

[boreal turtle]

Im NOT sad lets go dragalge army

[ebon tapir]

Krookidle deserved a mega

Change my mind

[lime compass]

Goodra should have gotten a mega since it’s the pseudo of xy

[boreal turtle]

Not all pseudos need megas

It would become a running joke

[desert current]

I think they both shoulda had one

Also... man, they still didn't give Slowking a mega

[ebon tapir]

Wished they add’d mega megnazone

[boreal turtle]

And almost all of em are dragon so u wd get copies of the same pokemon at the end

[boreal turtle]

Slowking should get one fosho i agree

[ebon tapir]

Mega gliscor

[lime compass]

There still is the dlc so we never know what megas will come

[ebon tapir]

Well in the dlc we get-

Mega

[lime compass]

ACTUALLY?!

[ebon tapir]

raichu Y and X

[tepid moss]

There should've been a mega unown fr

[ebon tapir]

I just wished, that they did more with primal

Like for xerneus or yvental

Like kyorge and groudon

[lime compass]

Now I’m curious what megas will come in the dlc.. it won’t hurt to look at the leaks

[sturdy flower]

we literally do already

[ebon tapir]

Not saying who

[sturdy flower]

do you want to see the list

[sacred harbor]

Yes it will

Yes it will

[sacred harbor]

Don’t look bro

[ebon tapir]

But 2 of my fav mons get a mega

[sturdy flower]

leaked DLC megas

[desert current]

It always bothers me when Pokemon with counterparts only get Megas for one half.

I'm glad Froslass finally got one to go along with Glalie.

But also, they have Galarian Slowbro in the game, but unlike its Kanto counterpart it can't mega evolve... Brings up so many questions...

And they made TWO designs for Mega Raichu, neither of which are for the Alolan form!

[lime compass]

I hate that list

[ebon tapir]

||Gollisapod and darkrai are 2 favs for me||

[sturdy flower]

well it's the only list there is

[sturdy flower]

really excited for those

[ebon tapir]

Ye

[sturdy flower]

all of these except for a couple could turn out very cool

[desert current]

Wonder why Absol is listed...

[ebon tapir]

||Golisapod is fav gen 7 mon, and Darkrai is my fav mon from childhood, bc darkrai Movie||

[sturdy flower]

||it's getting a second mega. same as Lucario and garchomp||

[desert current]

Lucario and Garchomp too...

Man...

[sacred harbor]

Bro you need so many mega shards 😭

[desert current]

I hope Lucario's mega is as cool as the one I made.

[ebon tapir]

Bro not that dif

Just collect while you pass

[sacred harbor]

To get all of them?????

[ebon tapir]

Bro got 4 stones (not gifted)

[lime compass]

Better image of leaks for the dlc

[sacred harbor]

I have 39 mega stones

[ebon tapir]

||Golurk is curious||

[sturdy flower]

also, returning mons in the dlc

[ebon tapir]

Spoiler tag

[boreal turtle]

Just discovered if u buy two clothes in different colors u can swap parts

My fit is unheard of rn

[lime compass]

Wait is it not spoiler

[boreal turtle]

Ye it is lol

[sturdy flower]

i really want them to fully lean into the ||mystical, medium aspect for mega meowstic||

i feel like it's not very well shown in the current design

[ebon tapir]

||Bro where we even will they put primal kyogre on the map 😐 ||

[sacred harbor]

Sewers

[sturdy flower]

well we don't even know what the map will look like yet

[ebon tapir]

Lumious i mean

[wispy kernel]

Since the DLC is called Mega Dimensions, and what we know about it is that the main group finds a portal, it’s prolly a new map

[sturdy flower]

but we do know ||that there will be battles akin to rogue mega evolutions against the primals and mega rayray||

[storm bone]

Please tell me I can get mega || eternal flower floette and zygarde ||

[ebon tapir]

||Missed chance for mega deoxys||

[wispy kernel]

dlc just gonna be

[storm bone]

Also the final boss is the best ever

[ebon tapir]

.

[lime compass]

It already has 4 forms so why give it another one?

[ebon tapir]

Bc lore

[sacred harbor]

Also would it get 4 megas then

[ebon tapir]

Bc deoxys = the mega metreor

In oras

So why wound’t there be

A mega deoxys

[lime compass]

Bc Gamefreak has a low budget

[ebon tapir]

Nah

They have the biggest income game wise

[sacred harbor]

Wdym nah that’s a fact

[ebon tapir]

Pokemon biggest franchise, hello

[lime compass]

Pokemon is gamefreak isnt

[sacred harbor]

The budgets got leaked

[ebon tapir]

Lol

[sacred harbor]

Pokemon has never had a game with a budget higher then 40m

[ebon tapir]

I meant in general

The toys

Cards

Plushies

Anime

Games

[sacred harbor]

All based on the game

[lime compass]

They are all used for the anime

[sacred harbor]

Which has a low budget

[ebon tapir]

True

An episode of a show can easily be

200k-300k

For a single 30 min episode

[storm bone]

What!!!!? Az ||died|| !!!?

[sacred harbor]

Doesn’t really matter cuz each segment should pay for itself almost

And games deff make more then 30 min

Lil

Mil

[sturdy flower]

of course you can

[ebon tapir]

What happends to az?

Az mega evolves into his prime state from 3k year ago?!

[lime compass]

Anyways imma go to bed gn chat

[ebon tapir]

Gn

[ebon tapir]

(Joke)

[woeful carbon]

ive yet to find a shiny ralts bruh

its been 24h

if it turns out female im ditching the shiny gallade and running my goat meowstic-m

[storm bone]

It took me 22h but finished the game , it was a blast so now I’m gonna 100% it

[sacred harbor]

Ha gl bruh

[woeful carbon]

wow thats crazy you beat the game in less time than it's taken me to find a single shiny so I can continue my playthrough

[sacred harbor]

Do you know the requirements 😭

[woeful carbon]

ive found a shiny flabebe btw

[sacred harbor]

Me too

[woeful carbon]

it's spawn was on a roof just BARELY in load distance

[sacred harbor]

I got one hella early and haven’t seen a shiny since

[woeful carbon]

I FOUND ONE

COMPLAIN AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE

[sacred harbor]

Gender reveal

[woeful carbon]

its male

but its alpha

[sacred harbor]

Isn’t that even better

[sturdy flower]

it is in my book

[sacred harbor]

Shiny alpha hella flex

[sturdy flower]

yeah

[woeful carbon]

I wanted a regular size gallade

oh well

[sacred harbor]

Wow

[sturdy flower]

i guess they are easier to hit but who cares, it's still a flex

[woeful carbon]

im not waiting another 24 hours

[solar oriole]

So, what exactly does the speed stat do?

[woeful carbon]

casting speed

like you use a move and it executes it faster

moves that have priority like shadow sneak and quick attack move at the max speed bonus plus a bit more

[solar oriole]

That's what I assumed, but none of the sources online agree with one another.

[woeful carbon]

what happens when the game doesnt explain shit:

[solar oriole]

ikr? It will give infinite hints that sp atk increases special damage and sp def reduces it, but never address anything it actually changes in this version of the game

[sacred harbor]

What

This has gotta be like sarcasm right

[tepid moss]

So, I just found the museum, and I love the Hisui exhibit

[robust wren]

It is pretty nice that ZA confirmed that ||Ingo was eventually able to go home||

[wispy kernel]

It also confirmed that ||Volo is still alive|| which is less awesome than that

[indigo mango]

mmh appearntly alpha fossils only have 1% chance, so not sure imma try for it

[storm bone]

Before ZA we had 48 megas now we have 76

Also since we got ||5 gen 5 megas|| can we say that the amount ||quintupled||

[sturdy flower]

and soon we'll have ||93||

[wispy kernel]

no because 0 x 5 is still 0

wait

no I forgot about audino

[storm bone]

Lol

[solar oriole]

Ice fang is probably the most powerful move in the game, given the chance to freeze, which, unlike every other affliction, actually stops the opponent, with actually nothing they can do.

[sturdy flower]

shiny alpha mega scolipede

[solar oriole]

neat

Found larvitar

[drowsy veldt]

[solar oriole]

Got a shiny I will never use. lol

[wispy kernel]

[solar oriole]

just save and reload

the game's buggy

have to do it every 30 minutes or so

[plucky escarp]

damn, missed a free shiny gastly

[solar oriole]

The "I would like to buy/sell" menu every time you shop is beyond unneeded, since it's one screen to do both.

[wispy kernel]

ok so I looked it up

I think it might not be a bug

since I’m pretty sure the sewers are right under where I am

[indigo mango]

man i wanted to use the alpha but bro how is my alpha so much worse stat wise then my original mon. It was much worse ebfore i actually used some attack and defense vitamins on the alpha and it still sucks

[wispy kernel]

it might be in the sewers

pidgey above me

[daring finch]

[indigo mango]

everything on the alpha is worse exept HP

[daring finch]

[wispy kernel]

[indigo mango]
