pokemon-winds-waves

[jade ocean]

Then they get like 40% extra Attack

Not 40, 40%

Mawile gets like 42 extra Attack for example

But the other 2 do only get 40 Attack

[spare roost]

I think there is some fun to be had by picking 100 random mons and balancing a metagame around them

shift around learnsets, abilities, stats

[rustic rapids]

[spare roost]

just, in this 100-mon metagame, Plusle is a top tier support with its ability to have access to both screen (most other mons only have one or the other) alongside nuzzle and other support moves

cause like, i remember Season 1 of SwSh before DLCs, Seismitoad was a top contender in OU

then the dlc happened and dropped them all the way back down to RU iirc

[jade ocean]

It's more so because of Dracovish getting banned than DLC, no?

Seismitoad was the best answer to Dracovish

Who was a ridiculously broken Pokemon

So it was banned

[charred sage]

yea seismitoad had water absorb + stealth rock + something gastro didn't

in the era of "resistances are irrelevant, water immunity or you're dead"

I forget how long it was but I remember seeing talk about using flareon to check clefable during gen 8's really early days (didn't go anywhere from what I recall but the fact that it was even considered is nutty)

[grim cloud]

I just dont get the hate for ZA

[fair fox]

I dont hate it. Graphics and small details are just a big thing for me. Like if I play an FPS that doesnt have good reload animations its hard for me to play. I know it sounds dumb and I cant really explain it well. I would just enjoy the game more if I saw those extra little details. Im going to beat it regardless.

[grim cloud]

I get it

But i think i liked it because of the ending

[fair fox]

I think its one of my autism hyperfixations. I watch videos of reload animations alot on youtube. I am enjying the story. I never playe the games where mega evolution was introduced so its interesting for me.

[grim cloud]

Understandable

[robust wren]

As someone who gets really crazy over sound design to the point where I have almost every single Pokemon cry burned into my brain, I get the feeling

[grim cloud]

My favorite parts were
Jacinthe battle theme
The ending ||(from the battle with Taunie to AZ’s death)||
Corbeau and the Rust Cyndicate

[fair fox]

IM going to refrain from that spoiler. im only rank e right now

[fickle birch]

I feel like I've heard people say this about a lot of the new Megas. 😮

They're good, but the Megas don't benefit them any more than a Choice Item, Life Orb, Assault Vest or whatever else. 😅

[grim cloud]

Good idea

[charred sage]

while some of them are lost causes unless they get something at Masters EX levels of absurd of like 3-4 abilities in one (Victreebel, Malamar) a lot of megas are made and broken off their abilities and with one (possible) exception we don't know those yet

[fickle birch]

True, you're right that abilities do a lot of the heavy lifting. Kangaskhan without Parental Bond feels wrong. 😅

[plucky escarp]

yeah the kanto starters too, mega pinsir

plenty need their abilities to function well

[harsh oasis]

Having all your moves be plus is a good benefit to megas. Especially since it soaks through protect et al. Not sure if that's actually better than just using regular plus moves with better items though

[plucky escarp]

thats reasonable tbf

Nah trust

He's got aura he wont

[plucky escarp]

i need to farm me an alpha dino

[round halo]

Idk if you can get alpha fossils ngl

[plucky escarp]

just because its comically large, no other reason

[plucky escarp]

1/100 apparently

[round halo]

Oh wow

I'll definitely be getting a shiny one for my post game so

[plucky escarp]

so shalpha dino 1/819200

-# shiny charm doesnt effect fossils either

[round halo]

Yeah that's so bad ngl

But it's pretty easy to shiny hunt

[plucky escarp]

very

[round halo]

It's just spam a then reset

[plucky escarp]

just time and 600k of money

[round halo]

For fossils I mean

[round halo]

Yeah

My cards so far

I wish you could print them and give them to other players like in swsh

[plucky escarp]

i only took one, but its end game spoiler so no showing here rn
-# and i dont have my switch handy

[round halo]

Fair lol

[harsh oasis]

I would make this my royal pic but it would feel... Wrong [Reminder that it's end game spoilers so don't look if you're not ready]

Lemme find my current one

[plucky escarp]

i took mine in front of ||purple glowing lumiose tower||

[harsh oasis]

Ohh that's pretty good, I missed that opportunity. I got these though. A story in two parts lol

[plucky escarp]

i mean that first one is pretty close to what i took

[tepid moss]

Woah, those are are cool

[dim plover]

sad i dont have a picture with the tower ||pre-ange floette|| i only have one with ||post-ange floette||

[plucky escarp]

Is mine atm

[harsh oasis]

I wish I messed with the camera more. Especially in one-time scenes

There's all sorts of good photos to be had

[plucky escarp]

truth

[lime compass]

I swear I’m the only one who doesn’t know how to send screenshots from my switch to my phone/computer

[harsh oasis]

It's kinda involved for largely no reason

You go to your album on switch

And you can select images to send either in bulk or just one

Then it gives you a qr code which you scan with your phone camera app

And that connects you to the switch

And then it gives you another qr

Which opens a webpage

Which you can download your images from

[lime compass]

Thanks

[harsh oasis]

This is still my league image, I need to update it

[lime compass]

This is my league image

[plucky escarp]

you can automate the sending from the switch to the app

settings on the switch somewhere

then i just send them to discord from the app via share

[harsh oasis]

And some nice images. [Spoilers for Rank C]

[harsh oasis]

Oh really!?

I gotta do that

[harsh oasis]

lol, cool

[grizzled sierra]

Can i post my first shiny here?

[harsh oasis]

Of course!

[grizzled sierra]

Its a mega too but an og one

I was in one of the wild zones trying to get an alpha trevanant and this little pink ass got in the way 😅 didnt get the alpha but got this guy

[harsh oasis]

Ooo

Pink!

I like your outfit btw

[grizzled sierra]

thank you shes adorable!!!

[tepid moss]

Here's my league photo

I think I took a good one

[harsh oasis]

Amazing

[tepid moss]

That's the one alpha mon on my team, btw. He's so big

[harsh oasis]

Fr

I love how big some of the alphas are

The comparison between my alpha scolipede and [Rank C]||Corbeau's scolipede|| is so funny to me

[opal gull]

I had a shiny non alpha

[scarlet bear]

Just reached the credits. One of the best endgames of the pokemon franchise

Me and bestie at the ||end of the world||

[harsh oasis]

.... switch 2 exclusive feature

[charred sage]

it's not quite direct but I recall on switch one you can send pics or clips to your phone via QR code?

Switch 2 might have added clips for that but screenshots I know you could

[harsh oasis]

Yeah you totally can

But it's a long annoying process

Apparently on switch 2 you can just take em from the app

Which would be great

[tepid moss]

It's an improvement over your only option being to post them to facebook

[harsh oasis]

This is true

[willow kelp]

Anyone else having a lot of trouble shiny hunting gastly?

[lament surge]

Any idea what should be my last pokemon on the team? I got feraligatr ampharos charizard lucario and abomasnow

[tepid moss]

Hmmmmm... Victreebell

[lament surge]

Why

I alr got a Grass type

[willow kelp]

Gengar? Or Alakazam

[tepid moss]

Pfffft, how'd I forget abomasnow is grass type?

[lament surge]

I was thinking of adding a ground type

[tepid moss]

Krookodile?

[lament surge]

Yea or garchomp

[tidal jolt]

FULL ODDS SHALPHA SYLVEON

[willow kelp]

Garchomp is great

How much does the judge function stats matter? No clue how they work, are those the stats you improve with like proteins?

[harsh oasis]

It's negligible honestly

You can just use caps to up them if you really want (although they're rarer than they have been in games past) and vitamins too

But it's not really important to have good stats

not unless you wanna get really competitive

[harsh oasis]

My reaction to this information

[willow kelp]

Ahhh alright thanks for the help

Won't have to stress about that when I finally find a shiny gastly then

[wispy kernel]

Those are IVs

higher they are, the higher the stat is

They can impact stats like pretty significantly

but also not too much

Casually it doesnt matter

If you wanna play competitively they do but it doesnt mean shit other than that

You can also use bottle caps to max an IV of a pokemon if you want

you can turn like any pokemon into a competitively viable one because of it

[unborn elm]

[noble ice]

Does anyone think they could help me evolve some trade evolution Pokémon

[willow kelp]

Yeah sure, have some myself that need trading

[noble ice]

Sweet

[harsh oasis]

Finally allowing myself to buy red plushes now that I'm in postgame

[noble ice]

Welp after finding out how trash Aegislash is in this game I’m trying to replace him by shiny hunting Hawlucha.

So far no luck

[opal gull]

I'm still waiting in case it matters for the dlc

[harsh oasis]

Oh

Well

Too late

[charred sage]

this is late but discounting legendaries there are... ||051|| lines in the game that can't mega evolve

[charred sage]

??? so... does form change not exist and it's just stuck in its shield form?

[noble ice]

No he changed his form, but it takes him forever and by the time you finally use the move it’s too late

[charred sage]

aaah okay

was curious since I have aegislash normally banned but I might actually reconsider that if I ever do a ZA run

[willow kelp]

Only have Espeon and Umbreon left for a complete dex I believe 🎉

Long time ago I've ever done that

[woeful carbon]

I am 80 hours in I am on mission 7 and have 2 boxes full of shiny pokemon

[jade ocean]

Let me guess: Still no Shiny Male Espurr?

[woeful carbon]

yep

[jade ocean]

On the bright side, you could probably beat the game using only Shinies now

[woeful carbon]

but I do have 3 shiny weedle 14 shiny skiddo 12 shiny pikachus 5 shiny flabebe a shiny vivillion 2 shiny litleos 1 alpha a shiny alpha fletchling 2 shiny female espurr and 9 shiny pancham

I could run mega beedrill + gogoat + raichu + pangoro + talonflame + florges

[jaunty comet]

Let me know if you dont need one of those ralts lol, I can trade either a falinks or a patrat for it

[novel atlas]

I got my first shiny

Its a skiddo lmao

[hazy knot]

Give them all to me now

pls 🥺

[opal gull]

you can prob just trade for the shiny you want at this point, go ona trading discord or something

though I guess traded mons get overleveled

[woeful carbon]

I want the OT to be my own unfortunately

[scarlet bear]

So I finished playing pokemon za, which of the post-USUM games should I play next? Chronologically it should be sword and shielf, but ratings-wise its legends arceus

[charred sage]

LA is probably the closest in overall feel to ZA

there is also the secret option of New Snap if you wanna branch out a bit tho for a spin-off

[unborn elm]

Yo pignite where you going

[lavish eagle]

love the customization sm

[jade ocean]

My intuition is correct, Nihil Light's 100 BP is unused code

And since it is paired with accuracy, I am now certain that it'll be the incarnation it takes in any non Z-A game

So stop analysing ||Mega Zygod|| in the context of Singles or VGC with Nihil Light at 200 BP

Because I don't think there's any way that that'll stick

[charred sage]

I was gonna say my thought about the 200BP but I'm pretty sure I've said it before

where it reminds me of solarbeam getting something like a +60 or +80 buff in Lets GO before it got reverted back by sword & shield

checks* also 200 base power there so yea I can see it doing something similar

[eager cedar]

My fennekin...

||Has anyone wondered where the XY Lumiose City’s gym leader is during Legends ZA?||

[robust wren]

Moreover, did Clemont have any idea on the existence of ||Ange? His gym was in the same building after all||

[forest egret]

Clemont fell into his creation and became gaster

[jade ocean]

"I'm C. Lemont! The Lumiose Scientist"

• Clemont, probably (not)

[robust wren]

||It's kinda funny thinking about Clemont getting a grant to set the Prism Tower up with a new lighting system, and he's getting a tour of the place like, "and this is Ange, our very own de-activated immortality beam. It's nbd, just pretend it's not there."||

[noble ice]

Anybody got any Pokémon that your shiny hunting?

[noble ice]

I got him

[indigo mango]

never did shiny huinting before and 2 reasons i wont in this game. A) it feels too easy so even when i got a shiny i dont think its anything special. like when i tried getting the alpha Trevenant i got a shiny thantump way ebfore even seeing the Alpha and b) you cant trade mons out of the game anyway

[wispy kraken]

Got zygarde. Finished all the missions. Just going to grind matches for money and then get all the clothing and stones

[daring finch]

You can trade mons

Just not rn

[lime compass]

Anyone know a place with a lot of rock types?

[daring finch]

Rocky mountains

Wildzone 14 comes to mind

[jade ocean]

The Electrical Substation has a ton of Aron, should be Zone 14

[daring finch]

Onix lairon aron

Wait is onix rock type.

[lime compass]

Ok time to grind the catch rock types mission

[jade ocean]

Rock/Ground, yes

Though I feel like it's pretty rare

On a similar scale to Gible in Zone 8

[daring finch]

I mean it spawns

Plus if youre grinding for the mission it will likely spawn in

[lime compass]

I found one

[daring finch]

Eat it

Beeeg gummy worm

[jade ocean]

Slaughter it

And then throw your balls at it

[daring finch]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-rock-the-rock-gif-6658795805713564985

[jade ocean]

Because that's an ethical way to capture wild animals

OK but seriously

I had to check the substation like

5 different times

To get a single onix to spawn

All that work for a fucking Onix

[daring finch]

Oh I got it first try aswell

[jade ocean]

That I can't even fucking evolve

Because it's a trade evo

[daring finch]

When doing the completion thing

[jade ocean]

Gible was so much worth than this shit

Heck I'd argue even if you could evolve Onix, every single Pokemon you can find in those holes with the exception of Diggersby is better

And Diggersby doesn't really take up the spawns for any of the others

[lime compass]

Oh I just found another one

[jade ocean]

Because it digs holes in an entirely different zone

[jade ocean]

Bro I could only get Drilburs (and I think Excadrills? I know they spawn there but I can't remember if they can be in the holes) to spawn

[lime compass]

Found another one

[jade ocean]

Bruh

OK maybe I'm just the least lucky person in the universe then

I mean I've gotten murdered by RNG so unlikely the number has an E in it

So why am I even surprised

[lime compass]

Oh would you look at that I found a fourth one

[jade ocean]

OK you have to be at least somewhat lucky right

There's no fucking way I'm just that unlucky

[lime compass]

You are

I just completed the mission and I caught 7 onix

[wicked solstice]

guys

I think I should probably touch some grass

I caught all of this in a days work

[plucky dune]

Gang I wish the fossils got some love when it came to megas. First of tyrantrum and arorus not having megas is sad. Second I wish you could get the old fossils and they got megas, like why does arafactyle get a mega but flippen armoldo does not or mega kabutops

I bet if they did a mega kabutops and made it ghost rock and made it look like the missing no. one then people would use the fossil mon so much more

I hope they bring them back as a part of the dlc like for sv’s paradox legends or I hope they bring them back as part of the online battle league and we get mega stones to correlate

I need fossil respect

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-armaldo-and-kabutops-armaldo-and-kabutops-kabutops-armaldo-gif-26759574

[jade ocean]

The Pokemon I want to see Megas for the most are Goodra, Vileplume, Kleavor, Slowking, The Fossils (Especially the Gen 6 ones), Mantine, Turtonator and Clawitzer

All these Pokemon struggle competitively to some degree (Kleavor and Slowking admittedly less than the others)

And every listed Pokemon apart from Goodra and the Fossils have a direct counterpart that has a Mega

Vileplume has Victreebel, Kleavor has Scizor, Slowking has Slowbro, Mantine has Skarmory, Turtonator has Drampa and Clawitzer has Dragalge

Would also be nice to see the other Pseudos get a Mega but Kommo-O, Dragapult and Baxcalibur REALLY do not need one

And Hydreigon isn't a top priority either

||Despite that, Bax is supposedly getting a Mega in the DLC, even while being the Pseudo Legendary that needs it the least due to how strong it is||

Kommo-O is better than all of Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence, Hydreigon and both Goodras currently

Putting it into the top half of Pseudos

Goodra not having a Mega is a travesty

Bro is so much worse than every other Pseudo Legendary it isn't even funny

Even H-Goodra is like

The 2nd worst Pseudo

Though not by a lot

Imagine being so flawed that you're both the 1st and 2nd worst of your category

Absolutely embarrassing

[wispy kernel]

I wish none of them got megas

they do not need them

[jade ocean]

The only reason I want them to get Megas is because half of them already do

And I hate leaving shit unfinished

[wispy kernel]

I guess

[jade ocean]

As you can tell by the others on my wishlist for Megas

Goodra is straight up dogshit

And urgently needs a Mega

Well, not dogshit but like

It is PU

So it does really need a Mega

And it's a Gen 6 Pokemon

[wispy kernel]

Goodra is the only one who deserves a mega tbh

[jade ocean]

A very iconic one, too

[wispy kernel]

the rest of them are already really good

[jade ocean]

The Pseudo Legendary of the region

[jade ocean]

I wouldn't say Mence, Meta, Hydrei or H-Goo are "really good"

[wispy kernel]

you could even have it’s mega be dragon/poison so the pseudo of XY has something against fairy types

[jade ocean]

But they are certainly good

[jade ocean]

Problem: Specially defensive special attacking Poison/Dragon already has a Pokemon

[wispy kernel]

that is true

[jade ocean]

From the exact same region, too

[wispy kernel]

yeah

[jade ocean]

I'd go with Dragon/Water instead

[wispy kernel]

thats why I’m against normal goodra being poison

yeah true

[jade ocean]

Especially since Regenerator is a very likely ability for both Megas

So that'd just be even more niche overlap

[wispy kernel]

yeah

I think its funny how mega dragalge’s dex entry says it basically has cancer beam. shits crazy

[jade ocean]

It's so disrespectful that Gamefreak made the Pseudo Legendary of Gen 6 a specially defensive special attacking Dragon type

And then made a non Pseudo Legendary specially defensive special attacking Dragon type

THAT WAS BETTER

That's just twisted

[wispy kernel]

its fucked up

[jade ocean]

They didn't need to do Goodra like THAT

[wispy kernel]

Goodras one of my favorite guys too

shit’s fucked

[jade ocean]

I mean I prefer Dragalge over Goodra but like even I can tell this shit's fucked up

[wispy kernel]

they shouldve at least made goodra physically defensive I think that’d be at least something

[jade ocean]

Ngl if I were to rank all regional forms in terms of execution I'd probably rank H-Goodra at the bottom along with A-Dug

Because like

When are you using Goodra over H-Goodra

The former is a strictly inferior version to the latter

The same applies to Dugtrio and A-Dug, but in reverse

When are you using A-Dug over Dugtrio

Worse Speed, worse ability, not very important secondary type

Same offences too

Slightly bulkier but like

It's the difference between getting OHKOd

And getting OHKOd

That is to say, none

[indigo mango]

Pretty sure even when you can its said Home only goes one way. So Home to ZA but not ZA to Home

Wait so shes a Canari Fan and ||one of her real friends ||for awhile now and she still didn't even know what Elektross fav food is? And i am not even just talking about them being burned. She didn't even know the food itself

[wicked solstice]

why would kleavor need a mega and why would the slowpoke line need 2 different mega evolutions

[jade ocean]

I dont like leaving shit half complete

[wicked solstice]

wdym

[jade ocean]

It just feels unfair to have one fully evolved member of the line have a Mega

And then have the other one get nothing

[wicked solstice]

slowking got a really good alt form though

it also does better competitively

[jade ocean]

I dont think that's a good enough reason to not give base Slowking a Nega

Mega*

Mainly because I view the regional forms as more of entirely seperate Pokemon from a Competitive viewpoint

[wicked solstice]

and anyways

just because a mon feels incomplete without a mega doesn't mean it needs one

it's literally just gonna be like mega scizor and mega tyranitar anyways

[jade ocean]

Base Slowking does do decently compared to the other Pokemon I listed, along with Kleavor, but I still do want them to get Megas simply because it doesn't feel fair

[wicked solstice]

the same as the original form but with better stats

[jade ocean]

And they're both great Megas, so I don't see how that's supposed to deter me

[wicked solstice]

mega tyranitary isn't that good

[jade ocean]

Tell that to the viability rankings

Where Mega Ttar is rated as better than base Ttar in every single one

[wicked solstice]

it's obviously better but you're wasting a mega slot

[jade ocean]

Mega Ttar being worse is quite the outdated opinion by now, and it is genuinely worth consideration for your Mega slot

Especially in some gens where the gap between them is rather large

[wicked solstice]

you can get more spef on a normal ttar too

with assault vest

[jade ocean]

Gen 7 is one of those cases if my memory serves me correct

[wicked solstice]

also

are we talking about smogon or vgc

lol

[jade ocean]

Smogon Singles

[wicked solstice]

well in that case it's obviously gonna be good

[jade ocean]

I do not know enough about VGC to say stuff about it

[wicked solstice]

mega ttar is good in vgc but it's just better ttar

[jade ocean]

And there's a big difference between VGC and Smogon Singles

For example, Eviolite is a fraud item

In Singles I mean

[wicked solstice]

eviolite is still good in some modes

[jade ocean]

I dont think there's a single case where you'd rather run a Pokemon with Eviolite over the evolution

Though you will probably see some NFEs running Eviolite in lower tiers

[wicked solstice]

say that to the horrible randbat sets

eviolite gurdurr

[jade ocean]

What does Conkeldurr's RandBats set look like I can't remember

[wicked solstice]

probably flame orb guts tera normal facade

smogon loves giving flame orb tera normal facade to literally anything with guts

there's also toxic orb flareon

[jade ocean]

Well, it is the main set of any Pokemon with Guts

Though I never feel like they transfer that well over to RandBats (apart from Heracross because Heracross is the GOAT)

At least I feel like I remember Heracross feeling way better with that set than the others

[wicked solstice]

heracross is just better than flareon with guts strategies ngl

[jade ocean]

No shit, it's Flareon

Mr worst Eeveelution

Mr Guts Fire type

[wicked solstice]

pretty sure it has a very similar moveset (trailblaze, facade, stab move)

[jade ocean]

Gamefreak probably hates Flareon about as much as Goodra tbh

[wicked solstice]

well...

[jade ocean]

It's either it or Glaceon

[wicked solstice]

there is jolteon which is just worse regieleki

[jade ocean]

But tbh I'd lean towards Flareon

[wicked solstice]

mr zero coverage

[jade ocean]

Which says a lot

[wicked solstice]

relies on tera to hit ground types

[jade ocean]

Since Glaceon is a slow bulky Ice type

[wicked solstice]

glaceon probably IS the worst

maybe if it had higher physical defense it could've been aight in snow

[jade ocean]

Maybe

[wicked solstice]

with wish stall

[jade ocean]

Doesn't it have like fucking 130 Defence

[wicked solstice]

spdef

[jade ocean]

I think it's HP that it's lacking iirc

[wicked solstice]

that's leafeon

[jade ocean]

OK I checked

110 in Defence, 130 is SpA

[wicked solstice]

oh

[jade ocean]

110 is strong

That said, 65 fucking HP

Lmfao

[wicked solstice]

yk

[jade ocean]

This is basically Magnezone's stat spread btw

[wicked solstice]

I feel like game freak actually tried their best with mega camerupt

[jade ocean]

It's like extremely close

It's like, Buzzwole vs Great Tusk close

[wicked solstice]

except magnezone is an actually good mon

[jade ocean]

The problem is that they absolutely did not try with base Camerupt

[jade ocean]

Yeah, the type and Magnet Pull does a lot for it

[wicked solstice]

at one point people used eject button into magnet pull magnezone on corviknight

[jade ocean]

Base Camerupt is one of the countless slow, frail mixed attackers of Gen 3

Which sucks

[wicked solstice]

camerupt appreciated the mixed attack though

[jade ocean]

And completely wastes such a cool type

[wicked solstice]

it can use overheat and earthquake

[jade ocean]

Why does it have the same BST as motherfucking Basculin

And Lumineon

[wicked solstice]

[jade ocean]

And it's easily worse than the former in Singles, too

But they did try their best with the Mega, like you said

And yknow what, it could've been worse

Trick Room's very rare in Singles but if you actually do use it Mega Camerupt's pretty darn good there

[wicked solstice]

like I genuinely feel like they couldn't have done much better than this other than maybe put the extra attack into hp instead

[jade ocean]

On the opposite end is Malamar where yeah they did still try their best, but they tried their best to make it as bad as possible instead

[wicked solstice]

because malamar has contrary

any Mon with an s tier ability (with exceptions...) usually gets nerfed

[jade ocean]

Actually just worse improvement than a Pokemon that got 20 in every stat

💔

[wicked solstice]

looking at mega charizard y and urshifu

[jade ocean]

We ain't getting out of PU with this one

[wicked solstice]

pretty sure mega camerupt is actually better in nu than it is in pu

because water types are common in pu

oh it's in ru now

[jade ocean]

Well, unless they give it Hammer Arm, As One (Simple+Contrary) and maybe Psycho Boost for good measure

[jade ocean]

If you're referring to NatDex, RU is the lowest tier there

[wicked solstice]

oh

he's still in nubl in gen 7 though

[jade ocean]

It was funny seeing Regieleki instantly fall to RU with 0 niche there after Tera was banned

[wicked solstice]

it would probably be really good in tiers with little ground types

also I just realised, anger point could actually be good in trick room teams

in doubles

hit your own camerupt with scope lens population bomb and you'll hopefully get +6 attack

[jade ocean]

Bro wait why is Mega Aero natdex RUBL

Ain't it like

The best Mega in NatDex UU

[wicked solstice]

bro is lower than beedrill

[jade ocean]

Yup, no

[wicked solstice]

I remember trying to use mega beedrill in natdex uu and it was literally impossible

[jade ocean]

It is straight up the best non OU Mega

(Or Ubers, or AG)

[wicked solstice]

I had to build my entire team around beating aerodactyl

[jade ocean]

NatDex being incomprehensible as always

[wicked solstice]

so beedrill wouldn't get outsped and one shot every game

[wicked solstice]

dunno

isn't mega latios really good

it's in uubl last I checked

[jade ocean]

Mega Bee when Celesteela walks into the room: (+25% from Stealth Rock chip)

[jade ocean]

Shit, forgot to list UUBL

[wicked solstice]

also mega medicham

mega gyarafos

gyarados

[jade ocean]

Yeah I forgot to list UUBL lmao

Best Mega in UU

Only one that comes close is Venusaur

[wicked solstice]

mega aero is still in natdex uu

[jade ocean]

Huh, Smogon's telling me it's RUBL

[wicked solstice]

its only competition is gardevoir and slowbro

[jade ocean]

Maybe it's a bit behind idk

[wicked solstice]

mega bro is probably a big issue for aero

big physical bulk and high special attack

recipe for disaster

[jade ocean]

Mega Bro is very much a Mega worse than the base

No Regenerator, and it takes a Mega Slot you can use on Aerodactyl, Venusaur or Latias

[wicked solstice]

oh yeah

loses regen

i think it loses to aero without the extra defense though

[jade ocean]

Those 3 are the 3 best Megas of the tier, too

[jade ocean]

It might

[wicked solstice]

aero always runs crunch

you could keep it without mega

[jade ocean]

Maybe in older gens, but not quite in NatDex UU

[wicked solstice]

until aero is threatening you

wait tapu fini is in uu now

[jade ocean]

I've looked at Aerodactyl's NDUU analysis enough to know that it runs Stone Edge, Dual Wingbeat, Earthquake/Taunt/Pursuit and Roost

[wicked solstice]

ah pursuit

[jade ocean]

Or alternatively, those first 3 moves and Ddance

[wicked solstice]

kinda looks like a budget mega salamence

anyways I just caught like 3 shinies in lza (it's way too easy)

[jade ocean]

• Dragon Dance
• Roost
• Earthquake
• Flying type
  Sounds about right

[wicked solstice]

isn't it in ubers

[jade ocean]

Mega Mence is Ubers, yes

[wicked solstice]

honestly some mons don't deserve to be in ubers

[jade ocean]

Mence ain't one of the ones that don't belong

[wicked solstice]

there should be an oubl tier for stuff like arceus bug and annihilape

[wispy kernel]

They made UUBers for a reason

[jade ocean]

I can tell you that much

[wispy kernel]

or. Ubers UU

It is pretty much OUBL

[jade ocean]

The best Mega currently ranked Ubers

[wicked solstice]

true

[wispy kernel]

Look in VGC bro

Mega Salamence was a demon

[wicked solstice]

yeah mega mence is busted

[jade ocean]

That said, it is worse in Ubers than MDiancie

[wicked solstice]

it's probably the best mega in the game

[jade ocean]

Maybe in VGC

[wispy kernel]

Kangaskhan:

Rayquaza:

[jade ocean]

But Gengar and Rayquaza far exceed it in Singles

[wicked solstice]

kangaskhan has been nerfed though

[wispy kernel]

Mawile:

[wispy kernel]

Still used a ton even post nerf

[wicked solstice]

and yeah I forgot about ray but that's in ag anyways

[jade ocean]

Those are the 2 best Singles Megas and it isn't even remotely close

[wispy kernel]

Oh yeah Gengar too

Gengar is insane

[wicked solstice]

(literally can't use it unless you want to fight tera electric shedinja)

[jade ocean]

Or Encore Mega Gengar

[wicked solstice]

mainly because of shadow tag

[jade ocean]

Or Tera Calyrex

[wicked solstice]

but it's also really strong anyways

[wispy kernel]

I wish they didnt take shadow tag off of chandelure

[jade ocean]

Those 3 deserve special mention over the other NDAG mons

As these 3 were quickbanned on Day 1

[wispy kernel]

Infiltrator is so much lamer than Shadow Tag

[wicked solstice]

what if proto synthesis and quark drive didn't exist

and some of the paradox mons got better abilities

[wispy kernel]

boring

[wicked solstice]

like shadow tag scream tail, intimidate or moxie roaring moon

[wispy kernel]

this discussion sucks

its always so boring

[jade ocean]

Walking Wake, Flutter Mane and Ival probably gain depression

[wicked solstice]

flutter mane and iron bundle can burn in hell

[wispy kernel]

give all of them chlorophyl and surge surfer

[jade ocean]

Unless you give Flutter Mane like Dazzling

[wicked solstice]

iron bundle outspeeds and kills anything weak to it

[wispy kernel]

I dont care do it

[wicked solstice]

even in randbats

[wispy kernel]

?tag rule3

[rotund edge]

Make sure to follow the #rules!

Rule 3 DISALLOWED CONTENT: Self harm/suicide/other sensitive content. This is never just a joke, please don’t.

[jade ocean]

Mb

[wispy kernel]

no thank you its so rare I get to tag something other than rule 2

[wicked solstice]

I only get to talk about rule 24

[jade ocean]

What Megas do y'all want to see the most?

[wispy kernel]

at this point rule 2 should just become rule 1 considering how common of an issue it is

[wispy kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/incineroar-gif-23372577

[wicked solstice]

goodra, leafeon, glaceon

[jade ocean]

I'm a Singles player so I'm fine with this

[wispy kernel]

I’m a VGC player

I still want it

Incin is top 10 favorites for me love that guy

[wicked solstice]

knowing game freak they'll probably give it moxie as mega ability or smth

[jade ocean]

Not wrong

[wispy kernel]

and it’ll still be worse

[wicked solstice]

that would be busted though

[wispy kernel]

unless it’s ability is the sequel to intimidate it’s not gonna be better than Incineroar

[wicked solstice]

if it got higher speed and attack it could function as both a support and offense

[jade ocean]

So many mons have both Moxie and Intimidate

[wispy kernel]

same reason Mega Tyranitar is never used

[wicked solstice]

yeah but when you switch it in you still intimidate

until it mega evolves

[wispy kernel]

then why would you ever mega evolve it

[wispy kernel]

regular tyranitar is already so good that it’s just not worth giving up your item slot

[wicked solstice]

yeah

[jade ocean]

Gen 7 be like:

[wispy kernel]

It’s far more important to use your mega slot for something far better like Mawile or Salamence

[wicked solstice]

ttar might honestly be one of the best designed mons in the franchise

it has one of if not the worst types in the game but they saved it with a great ability, movepool, and stats

[jade ocean]

Yeah no Ttar is one of the best designed mons

[wicked solstice]

meanwhile they give other mons with equally horrible typing

horrible movepool

horrible ability

and horrible stats

[wispy kernel]

It’s so impressive that Tyranitar still holds up

[wicked solstice]

yes I just described ledian

[wispy kernel]

almost 30 years later and he still got it

[jade ocean]

You just described like 40% of Pokemon in general

[wicked solstice]

except gen 9 ofc

we love power creep

[jade ocean]

Yeah for that gen it's more like 20%

[wicked solstice]

even lokix, the final form of one of the early route insects is really good in singles

[jade ocean]

We still got shitters like Spidops after all

[wicked solstice]

they gave it a great ability, great offensive typing, and great movepool

[wicked solstice]

even spidops got a lot of hazard moves

sticky web is hard to come across

and it's competition is beautifly

[jade ocean]

Delibird had an amazing niche of being the only Pokemon that had Spikes, was immune to Spikes and Rapid Spin in like Gen 2

[wicked solstice]

which is just butterfree but without everything that makes butterfree good

[jade ocean]

But it was still dogshit

That's all I'm gonna say

[wicked solstice]

because you get annihilated by stealth rock

lol

you have to run boots

[jade ocean]

Gen 2 has no rocks

[wicked solstice]

oh

forgot it's gen 2

[jade ocean]

Anyways Spidops is like

[wicked solstice]

What's your favourite bad mon

[jade ocean]

The 2nd worst mon with Webs

[jade ocean]

Only ahead of Kricketune

[violet pollen]

sableye

[wicked solstice]

third times the charm

[jade ocean]

Frosmoth or Gigalith

[wicked solstice]

ceruledge

[jade ocean]

By that logic, I can say Ogerpon Teal Mask

[wicked solstice]

ceruledge has a lot against it though

bad defensive typing (weak to knock off and common ground or water moves)

bad spdef which definitely doesn't help its water weakness

has to use poltergeist which is pmuch ghost type focus blast

[jade ocean]

Poltergeist is more of a Hydro Pump

Except more accurate than even that

[wicked solstice]

it always misses for me

[jade ocean]

It has bad PhysDef, it actually has decent SpDef

[wicked solstice]

wow

that makes

no sense

he's literally wearing a set of armour

[jade ocean]

And while it has a ton of weaknesses, it also has many resists

[wicked solstice]

they aren't good resists though

and because of the dark weakness you usually have to run focus sash

[jade ocean]

So there's actually quite a lot of Pokemon it can set up on

[wicked solstice]

which stops heavy duty boots

[jade ocean]

I mean, half of them are

[wicked solstice]

fire when one of its abilities is flash fire

[jade ocean]

We got Fire, Ice, Fairy and a Fighting immunity

[wicked solstice]

grass which is already a bad offensive type

[jade ocean]

You also would rather run Weak Armour anyways

[wicked solstice]

not in an environment dominated by special attackers

[jade ocean]

Tf else you gonna run, Flash Fire to turn your resist to an immunity?

[wicked solstice]

immunities are goid

good

[jade ocean]

May as well have Weak Armour so that if you play correctly, you can threaten a sweep

[wicked solstice]

even kyogre gets value out of primordial sea

with the fire immunity

[forest egret]

Seviper probably

[wicked solstice]

I think there's one we can agree is bad but loved

THE WALL

[jade ocean]

Immunity to Normal and resist to Steel also means that the 1st and 3rd best priority in the tier isn't stopping you

Kingambit still screws you though

But simply get the read correct frfr on god

[wicked solstice]

if ceruledge wasn't weak to dark (I guess if you used tera) it would be a lot better

[jade ocean]

clicks Bitter Blade into Tera Fire

But point is, Ceruledge is a legit OU threat

[wicked solstice]

you would love oblivion wing against a -6 blissry

blissey

infinite hp stealing

[jade ocean]

How to turn your Yveltal invincible. Step 1:

[jade ocean]

Also which wall

[wicked solstice]

mega aggron

[jade ocean]

Blissey? Dozo? Lugia? Giratina Altered?

[jade ocean]

Fair enough

[wicked solstice]

god forbid a pokemon has a special attack

not charmander ember anything but that!

[jade ocean]

Idk a lot of mons in that middling area of OU are very bulky, as are a lot of shit Ubers

[jade ocean]

Ferrothorn tanks that

I know in my bones

My GOAT ain't gonna let me down

Mega Aggron should tank too

[wicked solstice]

yeah it's a joke

but also

CHARMANDER WITH WILL O WISP?!

[forest egret]

Is Mega Aggron that bad. When I think of the question of "favourite bad pokemon" my mind wanders more to actual weak pokemon rather than just "performs poorly in competitive"

[jade ocean]

Mega Aggron doesn't even perform poorly

Isn't it like UU or RU

[wicked solstice]

I've used it plenty of times

it's ru

I've swept some teams with it

spam autotomize and body press

[jade ocean]

I'd only start to consider a Pokemon bad starting PUBL

Maybe NU

[solar oriole]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ4N-8y06_A

[wicked solstice]

so talonflame is good in singles

with its 80 attack and nerfed ability

it's good in doubles because priority tailwind

but that's about it

oh and it's also quad weak to stealth rock so it's forced to run heavy duty boots

stopping it from running stuff like choice band brave bird

[wispy kernel]

guys I got a shiny pidgey

in the exact same spot as my last shiny pidgey

like down to being the same of the two pidgey that spawn in that one tiny spot too

literally the same fucker

[jade ocean]

It is Walmart Moltres

Which is evidently more than good enough for lower tiers

Idk actually Walmart feels too not offbrand

Uhh

Wish.com Moltres?

But yeah as it turns out Fire/Flying is GOATed when you have nice shoes

[wicked solstice]

yeah but look at some of the stuff in its tier

diancie

hisuian goodra

[jade ocean]

And Flame Body is great for punishing physical attackers

[wicked solstice]

umbreon

[jade ocean]

Talonflame isn't trying to break past Pokemon

It's trying to wall them

And walls don't need to check every offensive Pokemon in the tier to be good

[wicked solstice]

a lot of the mons good against talonflame are special attackers

[jade ocean]

So being weak to Diancie is fine

[wicked solstice]

or just non contact

[jade ocean]

You swap Talonflame out of the Pokemon that can break it, simple

Though I will say I'm not entirely sure how exactly it performs in its tier

[wicked solstice]

at that point just run anything with will o wisp

and better bulk

there is also entei with sacred fire

[jade ocean]

OK, looking at RU, 2 of the best Pokemon in the tier are Jirachi and Bisharp

Which I'd imagine are Pokemon that Talonflame checks

They also help keep Diancie mostly irrelevant

[wicked solstice]

being good against 2 mons doesn't make it good alone

[jade ocean]

Talonflame itself sits at a respectable B+ rank

Implying it isn't anything mindblowing, but has a good place in the tier

Other Pokemon it could handle include the likes of Wo-Chien, H-Lilligant, Registeel and Chesnaught

And while it won't take its hits very well, Maushold using PopBomb vs Talonflame basically guarantees it will be burnt

[lime compass]

I give up on shiny hunting snorunt it’s been like 1 or 2 hours and I’m mentally not stable anymore

[wicked solstice]

meanwhile, armarouge and entei are sitting at higher tiers

[jade ocean]

For more info that actually knows about RU you should probably check the actual Smogon page

[jade ocean]

Neither have a defensive type anywhere near as good as Talonflame's, or the speed tier, or the support movepool

Despite having the Fire type, they don't share a niche

[wicked solstice]

ah yes, the defensive type quad weak to stealth rock and common types like water

[jade ocean]

Yes, actually

[wicked solstice]

at least it has a ground immunity ig

[jade ocean]

Fighting resist and Ground immunity is amazing

And quad Rock weakness is no longer an instant nullifier of Defensive Pokemon

Though it does force an item

Water is a weakness the other Fire types share, and there is a singular good Electric type in the tier that fears Fire moves

Oh hey actually Raikou's good too

So there's that I guess

[wicked solstice]

also if you get knocked off by say krookodile you're cooked

[jade ocean]

Ground's more common though

[jade ocean]

Krookodile clicks Knock Off, and all of a sudden it's burnt

[wicked solstice]

they could also predict roost and click eq

[wicked solstice]

1/3 chance

[jade ocean]

It's not like there's other Will-O-Wispers in the tier

Like I said, Armarouge and Entei are offensive mons

[wicked solstice]

entei has sacred fire which is a 45% to burn

[jade ocean]

Armarouge runs 3 Attacks Calm Mind and Endure Weak Armour Weakness Policy while Entei runs Banded

[jade ocean]

45 is a lot lower than 85

[wicked solstice]

it's more likely than flame body

assuming it's not multihit

it also does huge damage

[jade ocean]

And less likely than Will-O, which is the more reliable burn method between the 2

[wicked solstice]

because it's choice band stab boosted

[jade ocean]

Flame Body is more so far switching in on physical attackers

Talonflame simply has a great support movepool and a great defensive type to back it up

As well as a great speed tier

Idk what else to tell you

I would say that if it wasn't good in RU then it wouldn't be RU

But uhh

Diancie

Lmao

[wicked solstice]

it's middling in ru

there's other fire types in the tier you could be using that are more reliable

[jade ocean]

They literally don't have the same roles though?

It's like saying Porygon-Z is more reliable than Porygon2 they literally don't even do the same thing

And B+ is certainly a point in a tier where a Pokemon is doing well for itself

You'll commonly see Pokemon in this range be either properly in the tier or just 1 tier lower

And then there's Wo-Chien who's ranked A tier in like 3 seperate tiers lmao

[wicked solstice]

same tier as feraligatr btw

and lycanroc

and below wo chien

[jade ocean]

That's because Wo-Chien is secretly actually good

OK but seriously it's hilarious that bro's got a good ranking in like 3 tiers

Despite being PU

I think his reputation got ruined by the Caterpie calcs

[wicked solstice]

not really

his typing drags him down a lot

[jade ocean]

Oh shit Wo-Chien rose to NU

That's crazy

[wicked solstice]

he's only relevant because of the funny meme

[jade ocean]

Yeah no A rank in both NU and RU

You absolutely cannot say this is a bad Pokemon

[jade ocean]

It has managed to overcome the shit type with raw stats and actually be a relevant defensive Pokemon in a respectably high tier

[wicked solstice]

it's historically been considered bad

and it's the worst ruin thingy

[jade ocean]

It is easily the worst treasure though yeah

But yeah no, its reputation seems to be far worse than the mon itself currently

Certainly nowhere close to being the worst Legendary

I mean, it was UU before the DLCs

So I suppose that should've been a given

[wicked solstice]

this is its competition

[wicked solstice]

it's really funny in ffa

you click leech seed on all of the enemies and you have infinite hp

until one dude whips out the volcarona

[jade ocean]

It's competition with Mr Tanks hits from Specs Xerneas, Mega Weavile and funny calc feesh

[forest egret]

Funny fishie

https://tenor.com/view/chi-yu-spin-rotate-pokemon-scarlet-violet-gif-2551289956493589259

holy moly mega greninja is crazy

one shot some random ttar with level disadvantage

[wispy kernel]

I have only 23 side quests left

wahoo

[daring finch]

Side quests

[mystic compass]

If i have enough money for switch 2 and legends ZA i would lose to ivor 10 times on purpose so that i can say that i went 10 rounds with the mighty thor

[acoustic igloo]

God I hate Pyroar.

[daring finch]

Cool but what I gotta do with that

[woeful flume]

im almost at 50 phases for shalpha gastly and still dont have it

[grizzled sierra]

Does anyone know how long do static alphas likr houndoom or gourgeist respawn?

[woeful flume]

hopefully 3-4 minutes like most pokemon but if not they should be a whole lot longer

[grizzled sierra]

So i dont need to reset the time of day? Its been like 5 minutes already

[woeful flume]

no reseting the day wont do anything towards the spawn timers

[grizzled sierra]

Ohhhh ok that makes sense 😅

[woeful flume]

yeah i was trying to do the same thing before

[grizzled sierra]

[woeful flume]

the shiny charm really works overtime for me but never on the right pokemon

[grizzled sierra]

I was trying to get the alpha trevenant and this pink ass got in my way 😂 i didn't hear it cause i dont play with headphones

[woeful flume]

dang well i was going for scyther and got the alpha trevenant in like 20-30 resets

[grizzled sierra]

Imagine all the shinies i missed not being able to hear much lol

[grizzled sierra]

My catch rates suck butthole so ofc i didnt get the alpha but got this guy lol

[woeful flume]

dang lol

[grizzled sierra]

Hopefully ill get both spooky alpha plants soon

[woeful flume]

repeat balls work like masterballs rn

since i completed the dex

[grizzled sierra]

Ohhhh thats good to know

[woeful flume]

and the canari plushes help a lot but i think im only at tier 1 or 2 for catching

[grizzled sierra]

I believe im at T2?? And still my catch rates suck lol

The alpha gourgeist didnt reset

[woeful flume]

dang i guess i had it wrong lol

[unborn elm]

Oh hi lil buddy

[grizzled sierra]

I got it! And an alpha bannette right after!

[worn cobalt]

It took 5 shiny Falinks before I got shiny Froakie.

[lime compass]

I have gathered motivation to hunt for snorunt again

Mabey I should get the charm before I hunt

Actually im to lazy I will do it without

[storm bone]

Got my scizor scammed did a trade evo end they didn’t send back

At least I have their alpha avalugg

[lime compass]

YES

Finally I got shiny snorunt and it’s a girl

[woeful carbon]

[lime compass]

Nooo it’s speed stat is really bad

[tepid moss]

Ugh, this thing is freaky fast

[spare roost]

good thing speed is like useless in this game

[lime compass]

That is true so it isn’t useless after all

[tepid moss]

Wait, when did leech life become a good move?

[unborn elm]

Actually

Speed affects your move cooldowns

So faster the mon lower the cd

Well idk I saw a vid that said it I may be wrong

https://tenor.com/view/water-balloon-cry-boy-child-fear-gif-24749838

[noble ice]

Mega Pokemon that I feel like that game freak could’ve been better part 2.

I don’t hate this mega but I feel a little bit annoyed. That game freak did not do this.

The Pokémon I am talking about is Mega Pyroar

I like how the fur is supposed to look like the fire blast symbol

A lot of people would say that “oh it just grew more fur” but a lot of mega Pokémon already have similar Megas like that. Like Alakazam, Altaria, Ampharos, and many more other Pokémon.

The one thing that I hate about this mega, is that the male and the female both have the same mega.

I would’ve hoped that maybe the two could’ve been different and not the same.

||this is why I’m worried that in the DLC they’re gonna be giving Meowstic a mega and both of their male and female forms are completely different. So they’re probably gonna make them the same as well.||

[tepid moss]

I'm nervous about this ||rogue mega hawlucha||.

[spare roost]

Yes by like one second

In which it’s the delay of you using your 3 other moves that’s negligible

[noble ice]

He’s not that bad. He did do a number on my Gengar though.

[spare roost]

So what if a move goes from 8 second to 7 second cool down when the animations of you using two other moves takes around the same time

[tepid moss]

Yeah, def not as bad as the ||beedrill||

[sturdy flower]

yes, ||meowstic will have just one mega, we already know. tatsugiri and magearna especially have multiple forms listed||

[storm bone]

I don’t know who and we’re but shiny

Shiny weedle

[robust wren]

Same hairstyle

Also Mega Pyroar was given the most boring Mega stat boost possible in 20 points to each stat

[woeful flume]

mega pyroar is based off the symbol of fire

[woeful carbon]

90 hours now

[robust wren]

I saw it described as the designers not knowing how to fit that design onto Pyroar but trying to force it anyway, and I'm inclined to agree

[woeful carbon]

I’m beginning to contemplate murdering every shiny that isn’t a male espurr on sight

[woeful flume]

it does feel forced onto it and doesnt look good at all, but the shiny mega is dope

[woeful carbon]

I have 65 shiny pokemon as of right now

66 will be espurr and I’m not catching another shiny after that

[open sierra]

Can someone help me trade evolution two of my shinies? I’ll give my extra shiny haunter as a thank you

[woeful flume]

i can help but i dont need the shiny haunter

[open sierra]

If you don’t mind thank you

I’ll make the trade code

[woeful flume]

ok

[open sierra]

6969 7887

[woeful flume]

im just trying to get a shalpha gastly and ive gotten 18 spinaraks and 12 gastlys

[open sierra]

Do you want an extra magikarp?

[woeful flume]

nope im all good

just my gastly back

[open sierra]

Sounds good thank you

[woeful flume]

Then I have a machoke

any other evos?

that’s it

[woeful flume]

is it bad i have 5/6 spinaraks shiny on the wall in area 4 going for shalpha gastly

started this hunt monday and have added a shiny spinarak to the wall each day besides friday and got 2 on thursday

IM FREE IM FREEE

[shadow urchin]

Got the shiny charm. First charm that I EVER got in a Pokémon game.

[woeful carbon]

its adamant....

is there mints in this game

[noble ice]

Do you guys think I should change one of Ampharos moves?

[wispy kernel]

get dragon pulse over breaking swipe

[noble ice]

I’ve caught an extra shiny panchum don’t know if anyone wants it

[woeful flume]

yes

[autumn shore]

I haven’t seen Dexio or Sina are they long forgotten or did they leave Kalos for Alola?

[woeful carbon]

the goats better appear

[woeful flume]

well yeah they are in alola as far as we know

[lime void]

The Alola games take place before X and Y though

[storm quiver]

Since was zA came out who looks better mega Greninja or Ash greninja

[lime void]

Since I regularly forget that Ash Greninja exists, I’m going to say Mega Greninja, though I’m not a huge fan of how it’s always upside down

[summer flare]

both are bad, next question lol

[summer flare]

wanted to pop back in to make sure the channel even had activity, will probably ask for link trade evos when i get access to metal coats lol

better to get all 7 in one fell swoop

[summer flare]

did anyone else look around and think about which areas would get "zoned" later while exploring or

i specifically did not look up anything intentionally, ||i'm waiting for bleu plaza/the last circle plaza to get zoned||. it probably won't, but the one area with ||sandile and drillbur|| took me by surprise, so did the ||snow zone||
gotta fit that kalos dex in somehow lol

[noble ice]

What’s a good dark type move for Greninja to learn

[robust wren]

Night Slash if you want it to be physical, Dark Pulse if Special.

this is such an awful piece of clothing, cause im like man thats a cool coat....but foir some reason its paired with these red pants..but i know that if you buy more then 1 of an outfit you can mixmash it...so i buy the same cloak that had the black pants....but what do i get

like why is this trench coat mixed with the most awful of colors

[summer flare]

at least the blue is nice i guess

but i agree the masc options are the absolute worst

[indigo mango]

yeah but i wanted to be white/black as my fit even had my hair changed but those bright colors in the coat ruined it...so i just went back to my normal red/black

[summer flare]

the vivid sets seem to be notorious for that I noticed

[opal gull]

need more of the cool jackets that are redesigns of the default one

but yeah lotta stuff seems arbitrarily limited on colors

[unborn elm]

Interesting

[summer flare]

i need any standalone off-shoulder shirt other than white

it's cute but i need a pastel

any pastel

[noble ice]

Hey question, I was shiny hunting and I got two shiny Houndour’s and I was wondering if anyone would want the other one.

[unborn elm]

Can’t wait to get mega pyroar

[opal gull]

[unborn elm]

Yea

I really like the shiny

Hence the reason I got a shiny litleo

[opal gull]

it's lame its the same for male and female

[unborn elm]

[summer flare]

our strongest soldier

[unborn elm]

Eh I like it but it’s not my top 10

[noble ice]

It’s lame that the mega is the same for both male and female.

[opal gull]

I just said that

[unborn elm]

Yea that’s my one dislike

[opal gull]

why did you ping me to say the same thing

[noble ice]

I thought you meant the shiny

[opal gull]

no

that makes sense

[noble ice]

[summer flare]

I need to hunt for venipede, I'm pretty sure ||the "evil" boss has a mega|| and that's when I can get the stone, but augh the bright colors are so "don't fucking eat me" coded it's unreal

[opal gull]

I just found a shiny venipede by chance

[unborn elm]

Nice!

Oh also

Like 10 minutes after finding that skidoo

I went back to shiny hunting dratini

Fell off the building

[indigo mango]

wonder when we gonna get the mega for malamar in this game still havent gotten it, imma replace barabarcle with malamar once i get its stone...under the condition malamar can learn a good water move

[unborn elm]

And found a random ass shiny pidgey in a fountain

[opal gull]

do you mean pidgey

[noble ice]

I was hunting for a shiny venipede but I got a shiny electrike instead.

[unborn elm]

Auto correct💔

[summer flare]

both my actual shinies are birds; the static alpha pidgeot, and a fletchling on a lamppost

[opal gull]

seems more like a typo

[unborn elm]

Maybe

Idk

[indigo mango]

i have the free one and Trevenant

[unborn elm]

Love this shiny

[opal gull]

why would you shiny hunt a mon you can only find one of at a time though

[unborn elm]

Dratini?

[opal gull]

ye

[summer flare]

bc there's multiple spots and they're easy to reset

[unborn elm]

I just need to run across the bridge which takes 3 seconds

And it resets the spawn

Hence being able to be shiny
