You could use frosslass

that could help against zygarde

[severe pier]

I was using Frosslass for a bit

Zygarde's done btw

Garchomp was really good

[lime void]

I’d say to use the best Pokémon, but it’s not in this game 😭

[velvet forum]

Greninja and emboar was my goat

Goats rather

I think my team was gardevoir emboar greninja aegislash dragonite and idk the last

ah it was excadrill

[ocean vapor]

But you said you were at richime or wtv that hotels name was?

Post-game spoilers ||theres a zygarde boss battle post game||

[severe pier]

yeah ||you fight 50% at Hotel Richime during the main story||

[ocean vapor]

Yeah ur gonna need froslass 🙏

Trust

I tried with gardevoir/garchomp

[severe pier]

Jacinthe is done

[ocean vapor]

👍 go with froslass if ur thinking abt sacking falinks

[severe pier]

another excuse to shiny hunt

I can also double hunt cause I do want a shiny delibird

[ocean vapor]

Madlad

[light agate]

Any recommendations for farming hyperspace berries?

[severe pier]

shiny hunting in this game is too addicting

[light agate]

I want to shiny hunt, and haven’t completed the donut quest for the lumiose tower rift yet.

[ocean vapor]

Runs away as dlc content is mentioned and I dun wanna be spoiled

[rustic jacinth]

shiny hunting scraggy is going well 🥹

[velvet forum]

cute foxes

ive got 4 shiny houndour

[tired crane]

Shiny hunting aurmora

Wish me luck

[worn cobalt]

Are you doing the fossil revive method or the Hyperspace method?

Also, I need at least 7 shiny Mankey, of which I'd like at least 4 Shalpha Mankey.

[tired crane]

Hyperspace

[worn cobalt]

Good luck! At least shiny charm applies.

So many freaking shiny Pancham... Why does this HS zone only have two Mankey slots!

[worn cobalt]

I believe I need one more Shalpha and one more shiny.

[light agate]

boost

[worn cobalt]

Did you figure out what you need?

[velvet forum]

do yall know how much sweet u need for sparkling

[light agate]

No, but I also need recommendations on best place to farm berries - I’m guessing Pokémon rifts and bonus ball?

[velvet forum]

bonus ball

gives the most berries

[worn cobalt]

If not, make sour donuts with at least 360-420 in sour and ideally low everything else. Try and roll for the combo of Item: Berries 3 and Big Haul 3, but any combo of those would work. Avoid other Item level 3 donuts if possible, as that should prevent berries.

4 star Pokemon rifts are best, and 5 when you don't need it.

[worn cobalt]

I've heard 360-420 can give sparkling, but the higher the more consistent, especially for higher levels of that power.

[velvet forum]

i see

i got like 7 or 8 berry slots n still cant get sparklez

[worn cobalt]

You can still get low or no sparkle powers with max (760 sweet), but it's all up to chance.

[velvet forum]

man that sucks

[worn cobalt]

Best berry is Tanga berry for sweet. Spam that when possible, but otherwise if doing a mixed donut, minimize other flavors if possible.

[velvet forum]

which flavor grants alpha?

[worn cobalt]

Also sweet. It also can grant tiny and humungous.

Alpha level 3 is dangerous in high level zones, as alpha level 3 makes it 51% chance of alpha. Great for shalphas, but you could get wiped by attackers.

I'm about halfway through my donut. I hope I get what I need.

Also, does anybody want shinies? I have many for trade.

No purchase necessary.

[velvet forum]

what ya got ?

[worn cobalt]

I'd have to check later, but off the top of my head, Spritzee, Pancham (plus a Shalpha), G Meowth, Beldum, ummm... Tons more. I can post my "catalog" later if you want.

I also have non shiny Porygon and Gimmeghoul. Just saying.

And ig an alpha Gholdengo.

[velvet forum]

man i want a beldum so bad but i just got buns options for a tradeback

[worn cobalt]

I want junk mons I can release. How many beldum do you want?

Literally, I just want to send these shinies to "good" homes.

[velvet forum]

on second thought it would be more satisfying finding one on my own sorry but thanks!

[worn cobalt]

No worries!

-# another person avoids getting shiny dumped...

[worn cobalt]

Tbh, I could still trade you one to place hold for your own beldum. Just saying.

[severe pier]

Got ||Rouge Dragonite done, and Rouge Tyranitar which was the easiest done, going to try and get Starmie done during my break||

[wispy kernel]

hey if I make a pokemon that can run away drowsy will that help me catch it like at all

probably not actually nvm

also. I changed my mind on not getting more than one

I have so many wimpod

[worn cobalt]

I'll trade you for two of them later, if you are willing.

[wispy kernel]

I can try to get two more

I caught one in each of every special pokeball I had (which is all of them except the sport ball cuz I didnt have one)

[worn cobalt]

If you want, I'll trade you a sport ball or two for the wimpod if you do get extra. I can send them with shiny mons too.

[wispy kernel]

sure

I got other stuff to do rn so I can’t keep looking for more but I’ll continue it later

[worn cobalt]

Same. Gotta do some stuff before I'm even able to trade again.

[velvet forum]

“but mega garchomp sucks!” meh pink and purple dinosaur shark

how about that

[summer flare]

the pink and purple is unironically gorgeous

i love the re-saturation of colors in ZA

honestly one of the primary issues mega chomp had in turn-based format was his awkward speed drop, forcing an otherwise spectacular physical attacker under the, at the time, ironclad 100 base speed threshold it otherwise met. all in favor of adding a couple points into a special atk stat he didn't use

in ZA, the only thing his lacking speed does is take less time away from his cooldowns, its navigational movement speed is as-is

in an ironic twist, mr potential mon mega beedrill benefits from the ZA speed system, as it can make better use of rapid-fire nuclear attacks that it otherwise can't survive to fire off in the usual turn system

[viscid adder]

100% agree
best shiny

[summer flare]

i love purple shinies honestly

[viscid adder]

||unfortunately it doesn't really apply to garchomp z BUT, red black and yellow are a pretty good color combo imo||

[summer flare]

i. very nearly clicked that

[wispy kernel]

God this thing is so disappointing

[summer flare]

i need to finish the dlc damn

[wispy kernel]

worst new mega and theyre gonna make it like a mystery gift thing

hyping it up even though it sucks ASS

[noble ice]

Pokémon mega evolutions that I think that could’ve been a bit better.

This is my last honorable mention before I show off who I think is the worst new mega we got in this game.

[wispy kernel]

ok

[summer flare]

make sure to spoiler

[noble ice]

i’m pretty sure everybody’s already beat the game so far, but I’m already gonna mark it as a spoiler.

[wispy kernel]

worst new mega is ||Scovillain|| bro that shit SUCKS

bro got gen 3’d

and it doesnt even look cool

like ||Malamar||

[summer flare]

oh, yeah

[viscid adder]

||The idea of having it lose it's ground type is interesting, but I think we need to see what ability it can get once it goes to Champions.||

[summer flare]

should have ||gotten a third head, like a yellow middle one||

[noble ice]

||HM 3: Mega Zygarde||

[viscid adder]

||As much as I like that idea, I think that would end up making Scovillain more chaotic and uncontrollable||

[noble ice]

||I don’t know I never really like this mega from the beginning. All they really did was strap a giant gun to him and that’s it.||

[summer flare]

kinda said fuck you to physical zy users, and most of his signatures are physical

[wispy kernel]

||Garchomp was already known for it’s mid mega and they decided to make a second OU by technicality mega for it 💔 it’s special attack is only 11 points higher than base garchomp’s regular attack, it loses ground which is one of it’s best attributes, and it has a mid ass special movepool. 151 speed aint saving it||

[noble ice]

||I kinda like the mega a little bit more a little later, but I still feel like they could’ve done more to it.||

[unborn elm]

|| best new mega is golisipod and this is 100% bias because I love golisipod ||

[summer flare]

TRUE FACTS TRUE

[wispy kernel]

||I think it’s really cool how they remove a lot of it’s armor and it’s defenses, almost implying that it redistributed parts of itself to create the big fucking gun. and also its really funny that it has a big fucking gun imo||

[viscid adder]

||Remember, the whole idea for mega evolution is the stronger bond between trainer and pokemon. Not making it an unstoppable beast. The design philosophy behind megas is "this pokemon, but more"||

[summer flare]

I LOVE ||BETTER SCIZOR WITH NO BAD ABILITY||

[viscid adder]

||If it gets an ability that makes it immune to fire type attacks, then I can say we got ourselves a pretty sick mega.||

[noble ice]

||I do like these fan made Megas of Zygarde||

[unborn elm]

Give it regenerator trust

[wispy kernel]

guys check this shit out

[unborn elm]

I’m seeing heaven rn

So much wimpod

[wispy kernel]

13 of them

[viscid adder]

||I think Mega Meowstic is Mega Pyroar done right||

[dim plover]

First one is good but the 2nd is just complete form with extra steps

[jade ocean]

||Garchomp literally has a great special movepool? And 151 Speed is certainly saving it when you consider that Dragapult is viable with 142 Speed and 100 SpA, without Nasty Plot and with worse bulk||

||Also, we should not talk about it since it is a leak||

[viscid adder]

||Only problem is that if it megas in a sandstorm, it's going to get hurt
So I think the best option is an ability that allows it to be immune to weather effects or giving it levitate.||

[jade ocean]

||Then just don't use it in Sandstorm?||

||In VGC I could see it being worse though but I don't play VGC anyways so I don't care too much||

||I do not think Garchomp getting NP is comparable to Gardevoir getting Ice Beam in L:A, since it got NP because of its new Mega||

[worn cobalt]

Shalpha hunting Mankey again.

So, in non leak discussion, ||you clicked this take one of my shinies! ||.

[urban star]

can anyone help trade evo my shiny porygon rq?

[worn cobalt]

Are we trying to get it to z?

[urban star]

nope i just want 2

eviolite p2 is my goat

[worn cobalt]

Okay. If no one else does, I can help in a little while.

[urban star]

betski i appreciate it

i can trade you a shiny in exchange or something too

[worn cobalt]

Unless it's a shiny I don't have, I'm good on shinies.

[urban star]

thank you either way id appreciate it :))

[wispy kernel]

speaking of this, I got those two shiny wimpod for you

[worn cobalt]

Anything you want in exchange besides sport balls?

[wispy kernel]

eh not particularly

any specific pokemon you have? maybe something that I might want

do you want any specific pokeballs as well? I have like. 20 beast balls

[worn cobalt]

I'll look. I know off the top of my head G Meowth, Beldum, Pancham, Spritzee.

[worn cobalt]

I would love some beast balls.

[wispy kernel]

awesome

you can get a ton of them easily from doing ranked too

I think I got 17 total from it

[worn cobalt]

I'm at like 10 just from item farming.

[wispy kernel]

nice

[worn cobalt]

But Beast Ball is my favorite.

[wispy kernel]

same

[worn cobalt]

Let me finish up this shiny hunt.

[wispy kernel]

good luck!

[wispy kernel]

IM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

WHY IS EVERY FUCKING FIVE STAR POCKET I GET A BATTLE ZONE

NOBODY EVEN LIKES THE BATTLE ZONE POCKETS

GO AWAY

[noble ice]

NO WAY!!!!

I just went in here for just shits and giggles and I found this guy by accident.

[tired crane]

Congrats!

[frank lily]

I can't tell what it is

what is it

[hazy knot]

chespin

[frank lily]

ahhh, nice

[noble ice]

Never thought that my first shiny starter in this game would be Chespin?

And ain’t he the hardest shiny starter to get in this game?

[hazy knot]

nah id say definitely the easiest. it was my first shiny starter too

froakie is pretty easy but you can only reset 1 at a time and even then it doesn't instantly reset upon flying like chespin does, and fennekin is super difficult

the others aren't that bad but you need good luck for them

[worn cobalt]

I'd say chespin is hardest to spawn shiny, easiest to catch.

Of the Kalos trio.

[wispy kernel]

you can get like. two chespin I think

which is a lot better than the One of the others

[worn cobalt]

I can trade now. Would you like shiny Mudkip or Carbink?

[wispy kernel]

Carbink probably, since I already have a swampert

[worn cobalt]

Okay. I'll send that and... How about a H-qwilfish?

[wispy kernel]

that would be amazing

one less thing I need from 5 star pockets

god getting 5 star pockets sucks

[worn cobalt]

Code?

[wispy kernel]

I have no clue

[worn cobalt]

How about

[unborn elm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1305706095255228479/1452723673977847990/IMG_4577.gif

I’m 5 levels away from the shiny charm

Soon I’ll be hearing lotsa sparkles

[worn cobalt]

You get extras when hunting specific ones.

[noble ice]

Should I have my Emboar forget brick break for drain punch

[severe pier]

depends, like if you have Flare Blitz the free health regain will be nice

[jade ocean]

Yes, no matter what

Screens are not common enough in a PVE context for me to value breaking screens more than lifesteal

The real question is if you use CC over Drain Punch

Which is one I'm still personally not entirely sure on

CC does lower your defences but it has more than 1.5* the BP of Drain Punch

I'm currently running Flare Blitz + Drain Punch, which is a swap I made from Fire Punch + CC

My logic here is that Drain Punch's healing helps with Flare Blitz recoil, and is also far more valuable than Fire Punch's burn chance

[summer flare]

omfg ||i didn't even recognize the player character in ansha's credits drawing bc i literally have not worn the outfit since i got access to short shorts and the fem shirt||

[worn cobalt]

How is it that I have captured every legendary Mon in the game, and yet still haven't found rotom (5 star I believe) or freaking G Farfetched?!?

[ocean vapor]

Wow... I was resetting zone 12 trying to get an alpha gogoat for that quest and??? A shiny abomasnow appears???? I ALMOST MISSED IT 😭 (didn't have sound on coz I wasn't shiny hunting)

I got it tho 👍

It was the alpha too!

[vestal quail]

Can someone answer this question So i got a legendary special scan but my time ran out and i wasnt able to find the legendary and i forgot to set a save before so does that mean that legendary is gone for good or can i encounter it again in a different special scan

[wispy kernel]

you can find it again

[ocean vapor]

What battle theme is your guys' favorite from base game ZA? :3 (Mine is remixed Team Flare Nouveau)

[wispy kernel]

I may be doomed

[frank lily]

oof

[velvet forum]

i dont even do the battle zones

[frank lily]

yeah rn I am only doing battle zones for the quests

which for me is just the main mission quests

I haven't even gotten to the dlc yet since I keep getting distracted by other things haha

[velvet forum]

lol

[frank lily]

I have, what I call, a bad case of the 'oohh shinies' and in this case it's not about shiny Pokemon. my mom calls it the 'SQUIRREL!' effect

[velvet forum]

Lmao

[frank lily]

I completely ignored a set of rogue mega Pokemon missions after I got the Roto Glide feature in order to do more exploring

then I realized I could do more of the parkour stuff and get more screws to get the plushies

I did learn about there being a large plushies but I haven't decided on if I want to get it

[velvet forum]

ZA lowkey ruined shiny hunting for me a little bc i feel obligated to only hunt mons with megas but then they throw in awesome pokemon that dont have megas and it feels useless to hunt

[frank lily]

if it's another korok seed situation then no

yeah introducing so many more megas makes you feel like you need a full team of them

[velvet forum]

thats how its been for me all of ZA

not a single mon without a mega on my team

[frank lily]

you can still use Pokemon that don't have mega forms and use the mega energy to boost their attack strength

if the moves have the Plus sign next to them

[velvet forum]

Even then its like everyone uses megas anyways

[frank lily]

it's just easier to use megas since all of their plus moves will be active and you don't have to activate the boost each time

we will probably see a playthrough at some point where someone played the game with a team of Pokemon that don't mega evolve and they just use mega energy to activate Plus moves

[velvet forum]

I hope lol

i really wished that pokemon stopped shiny locking everything too

Love how shiny mythicals or legendaries are locked behind either very limited events or events that only take place in a specific location in the world

[frank lily]

yeaaa

Toxtricity then

[merry girder]

Alr

[arctic pendant]

Toxtricity makes good work of flying and water types. Greninja can deal with ground and rock types

[finite totem]

Toxtricity also get cool point because cool

[velvet forum]

lowkey form only

[merry girder]

I got the amped form

[broken schooner]

im stuck on rotom as well, no idea how to get it. galarian farfetchd isn't too hard though no? Its not exclusive to 5 star zones...

and evolving it has been easier than in SwSh, hitting three wild mons with one crit counts as 3 crits so yeah

[desert current]

You can use Toxtricity... But never take it in ranked. 4x weak to Earthquake is a death sentence (and its not even that bulky to begin with, has a lot of wasted stats in being a half-mixed attacker. Its usually carried by its ability which it doesn't have in ZA).

[merry girder]

I dont play ranked alot anyways

[ocean vapor]

@delicate plank I got online now, so if you'd still be willing to trade that would be awesome! :3

so i trained that shedinja (i uploaded those gifs lol)

it was really fun

[ocean vapor]

Shedinja so silly

[wispy kernel]

Last time I played Alpha Sapphire, I super trained a ralts literally the second I caught it and maxed it’s EVs

I did this for nothing else, just a little bit of super training for fun here and there

[runic peak]

3 ghost types in one team lol

[ocean vapor]

If sumn needs to be brought back, it's the original pokemon Amie :(

[wispy kernel]

but I locked in for that ralts

you wanna know what I wanna see brought back? SwSh’s pokedex

I actually really liked it

Like specifically the part where like. When you first open it it shows the map and if there are any pokemon you’ve seen but haven’t caught nearby as recommendations

I really like that

[runic peak]

i found this so funny when i first saw it, never knew i could see shedinja balling in a pokemon game

[wispy kernel]

oh also I did it for the gallade I eventually wanted so I had a 252 attack Ralts/Kirlia which was really funny

bros could not use it at all

[severe pier]

Was talking to a coworker about Z-A at work last night and he said my team should all be around 70s for ||Ange||

You made me look it up, it is what I said it was

Also probably, idk I had my team at level 100 by the end of the game

[severe pier]

Technically not

[velvet forum]

They should be 100 bc u get massive amounts of xp candies

[ocean vapor]

I did it with a team around 65 so I think ur good

Happy Xmas

[velvet forum]

Just had a procedure on my feet today so its a great early xmas for me

[noble ice]

But no, last night was terrifying for me

[velvet forum]

Shouldnt this convo be in off topic

[noble ice]

So I was only hunting in the other Hoopa dimensions. I saw one that had Pichu, Tynamo, and Toxel. I didn’t have a shiny of either one of them so I decided you know what I’ll go for it.

Took me a few hours, but I got a shiny Pichu to appear, as soon as I saved the game, I looked back and the Pichu ran away.

[velvet forum]

Wow

[noble ice]

I load up the save and as soon as I turned around, the Pichu was there, but it ran away again.

so I had a split second to throw the Poké ball and hoping that it catches the Pichu.

six tries later, I caught it.

That was the most intense moment I’ve ever had in this game

[velvet forum]

I tried donut resetting

I left as soon as I knew the abilities of the donut

yet it didnt work

I am starting to hate this game

[robust wren]

You know, for all the discourse surrounding the character, I do find it interesting how Gamefreak basically wrote Jacinthe to have all the mannerisms of the faeries of old folklore, reframing them through the personality of an out of touch elite

[ocean vapor]

Whats happening

[worn cobalt]

I'm finally getting G Farfetched!

Poggers!

-# I think that means good, right?

[robust wren]

I don't get why they went with fresh as the flavor to replace the dry flavor. Fresh isn't even really a flavor, it's just a description that means that it was baked recently.

I feel like they could have used the Salty flavor, like the Salty Herba Mystica in Scarlet and violet

[quiet frost]

big fan of whatever the fuck is wrong with jacinthe btw

i could fix her but whatever's wrong with her is way hotter honestly

[worn cobalt]

Fresh actually is a flavor, it's kinda like dry in the sense it isn't used often. In some sense, it's similar to how some things taste minty.

Plus, fresh is easier to justify than dry for baked goods.

Ig one comparison would be a drink sweetened with sugar and strawberry flavor and a drink sweetened with fresh strawberries. That subtle difference is where fresh falls.

But idk why I'm justifying the choice. I just like it ig.

[frank lily]

kinda reminded me of Grounded where bits of mints when used in the process to upgrade weapons would give it the 'fresh' effect

gives a cooling type of effect/permanent perk when you eat enough of the bits

[daring finch]

how do you reset donuts

[wispy kernel]

heal at a pokemon center
make a donut
if you dont like it, go to the menu, hit up on the dpad + x + b, which loads a backup save. this sends you back to the pokemon center

[worn cobalt]

Save at a Pokemon center, then make donut. If failed, close game, then on title screen press D Up, X, and B.

[wispy kernel]

specifically healing at one

not just saving

[worn cobalt]

-# technically, I think it mods the backup every time you fast travel, but healing makes a huge difference in marking the backup.

So... I finally got G Farfetched. Idk what to do with myself now.

[wispy kernel]

Galarian Yamask?

[worn cobalt]

I'm only missing Rotom, so I have that, but I've been grinding for G Farfetched so long idk what to do with myself.

It's so annoying, I got every legendary before G Farfetched.

But, did get shinies, so I'm happy.

[slow valve]

My gardvoir gyarados and scolipede were given i will hunt my own soon 🙏🫩

Beard cat!

sat there for a second and wondered why those mabostiff were so tiny but they were actually two shiny maschiffs

[wispy kernel]

they shouldve made like. idk beta pokemon that are really tiny

wouldve been really funny

[worn cobalt]

Still trying to get Rotom, paused to shiny hunt Charmander and Torchic.

[severe pier]

Just unlocked wild zone 20 and im almost done with it

I just need Charmander and I'll be good

Done easy

Now i got 12 more research levels to go

Almost done with the Lumiose Dex too

[velvet forum]

nice!

[severe pier]

194/233

83.26% done

[worn cobalt]

[severe pier]

A lot of the missing ones are rare roof spawns and trade evos

And a handful of evos

Oh boy, Xernas and Yveltal quests!

[ocean vapor]

Good luck soldier... In 60 hours into the game and Im still at lv 48

[ocean vapor]

If ya need help with trade evos, I don't mind! :3

[severe pier]

I gotta go to work now :(

But hey im only working till closing which today is 5pm

Currently 84.97% done with the dex

[velvet forum]

GOT MY FIRST SPARKLE DONUT

AND ITS A FIRE ONE

fate is telling me MORE TORCHIC

[severe pier]

I need 35 more pokemon

[velvet forum]

found a total of 6 shinies today so far

[ocean vapor]

Congrats!

[worn cobalt]

Anyone need shinies for Christmas? I'll give a bunch away!

[worn cobalt]

I am serious, free shinies. Plural.

[tranquil nexus]

Holy shit sparkle lv 3 is nuts

I was getting so many that I started putting Magikarp in apricorn balls. Managed to get the full set before the rift closed

[ocean vapor]

Anyone else think the way the "explain" ||the hyperspace lumiose thing is kinda... Dumb? Like it's supposed to be "subconscious memories/thoughts of the people and pokemon in lumiose" which is why it kinda looks like lumiose, but that doesn't make sense if the new megas are 'just discovered', especially since you can't get the mega stones anywhere else.|| [DLC content]

[velvet forum]

Its not just the ||memories|| but rather a actual figment of imagination

So technically

the megas are made up

[ocean vapor]

Like a better way to go about it would be ||to set the dimensions in a few different 'styles' like future, past, alternate timeline jazz instead of the same asset flip 'hyperspace lumiose'. Like one alternate timeline where lumiose WAS wiped out and it's a barren wasteland (would make for good battle scenes/areas) and then explain that the 'new' megas are just from different timelines where different pokemon existed in lumiose and died during the war||

[ocean vapor]

But ||Korrina has seen/knows most of them, so that can't be the case||

[velvet forum]

The pokemon that exist in ||hyperspace are pokemon from darkrais memories||

[ocean vapor]

Like ||she uses a Lucario Z on her team now||

BEFORE they started opening up

[velvet forum]

Because SHE is a memory

[ocean vapor]

Genuinely think they used that as an excuse to just asset flip lumiose buildings n stuff ngl

[ocean vapor]

Then why is blud outside of the spaces 🙏😭 ||would make more sense if she was a Korrina from an alt timeline||

[velvet forum]

theres dialogue literally confirming that HP and lumiouse was merging hence why trainers are seen there and vice versa pokemon are seen in lumiouse

[ocean vapor]

"How do we make more content as cheaply as possible and with as little effort as possible to sell for more money"

[ocean vapor]

Ik that, but it was gradual and she showed up at the start

[velvet forum]

The reason i think ||korrina|| is a memory is bc look at the sidequest with the ||note from the dead husband||

[ocean vapor]

I'm just saying it makes little to no sense

[velvet forum]

Nah its good effort

[ocean vapor]

I'm not saying ur wrong abt their intentions Im just saying it isn't great

[ocean vapor]

😭 look at the dlcs from swsh

Same amount of money paid extra

Several new areas + new legends

Now look at ZA

Asset flip areas

A few new megas

[ocean vapor]

Also not to mention more regional forms

I'm not saying the swsh dlcs were GOOD I'm just saying if Legends ZA dlcs is GOOD then the bar is in hell

[tranquil nexus]

If we got another GameFreak leak, I would not at all be surprised if ||they had something better planned, like visiting the rest of Kalos or other parts of the Pokemon world using the rifts, but reworked it to be just the city because Nintendo wouldn't give them enough money to execute. It would make the additional pokemon fit a lot better and feel less arbitrary, and some other cool things, if they had done that.||

||we see a potential glimmer of this in the legendary fights||

[ocean vapor]

Yeah, I get that, wouldn't be the first time GF has cut content bc of Nintendo restricting them so hard

But i'm just pissed off BC Nintendo sees pokemon as nothing but a cash cow these days

Obviously GF still has passion for it but Nintendo won't let them do literally anything cool if it's not locked behind a paywall or extremely rushed

[tranquil nexus]

Yeah, it's extremely unfortunate. However, hopefully now that Nintendo has seen what this new director can do, they give him a bigger budget for a larger game later

[ocean vapor]

I doubt it, I feel like the bigwigs at Nintendo have just relegated pokemon to cash cow status bc no matter how shit the games are, people will STILL buy them

Which also frustrates me as a consumer bc a. I feel pressured into buying a game I don't REALLY have faith in (ZA included) just so I dont miss out

And b. People really need to actually boycott games that are shit bc studios WILL fix their acts up. It's happened multiple times before, especially with live service games/gacha ones

But I feel like ZA has so much... Padding

But also there's so much cut content?

Like the ZA Royale is just..

The Z-V-F-A Royale bc of the huge skip

I'm not a huge fan of the combat arena things, they're incredibly frustrating if you don't get the right cards or you accidentally happen to stand right in front of a trainer as it spawns in

Just get rid of that and give us the rest of the fucking letters in the alphabet 😭🙏 with some proper b-plotlines inbetween

It's hard to feel connected to the supporting cast characters when ALL we see them doing is talking abt battling, their one or two niches at a surface level, and wanting to save lumiose

Give us a side quest where you help Naveen design a new outfit, or one where we dance with Lida like a rhythm game

I couldn't help but fucking hate Taunie bc her grandiose stand in the last act was so selfish for no reason, like give us a chance to see the connection she HAS WITH FLOETTE

[spiral venture]

i'd hate the rhythm game but i'd still do it

[ocean vapor]

Yeah fair I'm not great at rhythm games but like

Some variety would do wonders

All the side quests are either catch, fetch or fight

[storm bone]

Except the parkour one , I wish we had more

[spiral venture]

the most lumiose customization we got was a random sidequest for a street name

[ocean vapor]

True

More actual Parkour courses with good rewards would be fun too

Bc sticking them around randomly in lumiose feels rlly weird

A. Thats a workplace accident waiting to happen

And B.?? Theres no construction

They're supposed to be scaffolding 😭

[spiral venture]

or y'know multiplayer for just explorin, or squad playability for the dlc that was heavily eluded to

[storm bone]

They are “parkour” scaffolding Tarragon said I think

[ocean vapor]

Yeah, but... Theres no safety net or anything

One of his guys is working on a rain gutter and doesn't have his rotom phone on him (ignoring how stupid that mechanic is) and he slips and falls bc it's been raining

Breaks his back!!

Sues tarragon!

No more Racine construction :(

[storm bone]

Canari next stream : I lost my home

[robust wren]

Lumiose in general just seems like an awful city to live in. Imagine trying to get to bed only for a battle zone to activate right next to your flat, and you just hear "Noivern! Use Boomburst!"

[storm bone]

Earthquake on your roof

[noble ice]

Anybody want a shiny dog made out of dough? I got two of them.

[ocean vapor]

3 occa 5 chople berries evidently gives you sparkling power lv 3! Thought I should share :3

[ocean vapor]

Also yeah, no wonder no one is fucking moving in 😭🙏 all the reviews is just "cant fucking sleep because a gaggle of kids are outside of my apartment screaming to their Pikachu to use moves and biweekly a garchomp almost takes the building down with earthquake"

[robust wren]

Not to mention some of the wild Pokémon they let run around include stuff like the Litwick line, which is famous for hanging around hospitals waiting for people to die so they can use their souls as fuel and deny them an afterlife

[worn cobalt]

Free shinies if people want.

[noble ice]

Shiny Fidough still up for grabs

If anybody wants one

[severe pier]

Should i complete the dex and then do the dlc stuff or just jump right into the dlc

[frank lily]

there is something nice about completing a dex first before opening up to dlc stuff

[noble ice]

I got the shiny charm before I did the DLC

[runic peak]

gaming time ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

got the mario kart because it had a good discount but I just wanna play pokemon now

[worn cobalt]

Doing the dlc helps get the shiny charm.

Back to grinding for Rotom.

[noble ice]

Yeah, you should definitely get the DLC to help you out with the shiny charm, cause battling 1000 trainers is not fun.

[acoustic igloo]

I got a $45 eShop gift card for Christmas last night, and I was debating whether to get the DLC or grab Fantasy Life i while it's still on sale.

[ocean vapor]

Oo which shinies? :3

[ocean vapor]

I'd say at least complete the dex, things can get overwhelming if you don't finish it b4 the dex

I did the dex + all side missions except 2 before even buying the dlc, but I didn't finish the uh waves hand around

I didn't finish all 50 levels

I got up to 47

But now just playing the dlc I'm at 49 and a half 👍

[worn cobalt]

Should still have most of these, plus Meditite and some others.

Also, what's a good base team for grinding early levels of online ranked?

Idk what the meta is rn.

I need to train a team so my brother can get the mega stones.

Ig I need the season stone too

[noble ice]

If you’re trading that shiny Drampa I’ll trade it for my shiny Fidough

[worn cobalt]

I'm in a hyper space right now, but if I still have it I'll trade you.

[noble ice]

Deal

[ocean vapor]

OOO OO I would like most of those shiny furfrou if that's okay --><-- it will help me towards my goal of shiny furfrou team :3

And if u have a shiny male gardevoir I'd love one of those too

[worn cobalt]

Also, I don't need anything specific trades to me, just happy to not release these mons.

[worn cobalt]

I'll look on that.

May have a shiny male Ralts, which is kinda the same.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah, either or is fine!

[worn cobalt]

If you want more shinies, just trade me junk mons.

Rn trying to get another shiny Treecko.

[ocean vapor]

I don't have many shinies since I haven't started hunting, but I do have shalpha Abomasnow :3

I'm willing to trade that for all the furfrou

[worn cobalt]

No, just send me junk mons I can release.

Was briefly debating if I needed a Furfrou for my brother and his kids, but they'll be fine. I can get more later.

[noble ice]

To be honest, I have a lot of junk, shiny mons too.

But I’m ready whenever you are

[worn cobalt]

I have probably caught over 1000 shiny mons or close to it.

[ocean vapor]

🥰🙏

[worn cobalt]

Just in LZA

[ocean vapor]

DAMNN

Bros on that grind

Respect

[worn cobalt]

I decided living dex, then realized I could go for shiny living dex.

[ocean vapor]

Well just hmu when ur ready :3

[noble ice]

I was trying to shiny hunt for Staru and I got two Magikarp’s instead

[ocean vapor]

Damn

[ocean vapor]

😭 felt

[noble ice]

Well, ready to get the trade whenever

[worn cobalt]

Let me see how this portal goes. I may have to reset, which means I pause hunting.

[noble ice]

👍

Just wanna know if I got enough time to do some rank battles. I wanna try to get that Mega Baxcalibur

[ocean vapor]

Wait, you have to do ranked to get all of the megas..?

DIES AND BLOWS UP

[noble ice]

Yep

[ocean vapor]

My team is so not meta

[worn cobalt]

Did you want anything besides Drampa?

If so, let me know. If not, I'm ready to trade.

[worn cobalt]

Did you want anything besides Furfrou?

[ocean vapor]

The male ralts or gardevoir too, if you had one :3

[worn cobalt]

Okay, Male Gard and Furfrou x5. Anything else?

[ocean vapor]

Nope! But ty vm 🥰

[worn cobalt]

Jeff, I will take shiny Fidough if it's not alpha.

[noble ice]

You know what I’m probably already gonna struggle with it. You can give me one of those shiny Ralts.

[worn cobalt]

Male or female?

[noble ice]

Probably female

[worn cobalt]

Or both?

Would you prefer Ralts or Gard female?

[noble ice]

If one of the Ralts is female I’ll take it if not i’m fine with the Gard

[worn cobalt]

Sounds good. Ready to trade?

[noble ice]

👍

[ocean vapor]

I'm ready when you are :3

Or I'll do a hyperspace while y'all go ahead either is fine x3

[worn cobalt]

Lfb, I'll trade you after Jeff

[ocean vapor]

Oki!

[worn cobalt]

Should be quick since only two mons

[noble ice]

If it’s fine with you, I also have another Pokémon on me that I need to trade in order to evolve

It’s just one

[worn cobalt]

That's fine. Send it first, then I'll send it and the others back.

[noble ice]

Ok

[worn cobalt]

How about code 11445566

[noble ice]

👍

[worn cobalt]

Ign adam

[noble ice]

All right, I gotcha

[worn cobalt]

You charlie?

[noble ice]

Yes

[worn cobalt]

Perfect.

Would hate to send your drampa to a rando.

[noble ice]

Oh, by the way, I have both a male and female Fidough

Don’t know if that matters

[worn cobalt]

Nope. Maybe male?

[noble ice]

👍

[worn cobalt]

Dough puppy!

[noble ice]

Thank you for the trades

[worn cobalt]

I went net neutral on shinies in this trade. I did this wrong.

[noble ice]

[worn cobalt]

@ocean vapor ,I'm ready to trade when you are.

[ocean vapor]

Okayy ready!

[worn cobalt]

11445566

[ocean vapor]

👍

[worn cobalt]

Imma guess that's you.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah bwaha

[noble ice]

That’s how you get the Megas for the Kalos and Hoenn starters.

[ocean vapor]

How'd you know xD

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Guess I'll have to watch some more temp6 vids and make the most horrid, toxic comp team ever

Full of BABIES

[worn cobalt]

Actually, the first three seasons I got away with getting the stones with off meta teams.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah I don't doubt it

It'd be nice if you could cue with friends to just spoof it but like

I'm assuming not

How many wins do you have to get for all mega stones?

[worn cobalt]

Yeah, they specifically don't want that.

[worn cobalt]

I think this season you get up to ... Idk, L?... For all Kalos and Bax stones

[ocean vapor]

Kinda lame to lock it behind ranked bc kids are gonna suffer trying to get them all

Anyway tysm for the fuzzies 🥰

Also there's dif stones for each season? What if I missed some? 😭 am I just locked out of those stones forever?

[worn cobalt]

I got all three Kalos stones getting to rank U this season, which I did in one battle.

[worn cobalt]

I got m Bax stone by rank R, though I think you only need rank S.

Two battles for me.

[ocean vapor]

Fhew ok

I don't need to get horridly toxic comp teams

[robust wren]

Honestly the competitive scene of ZA isn't even that crazy. I was able to see okay results just with my story team

Most toxic thing is probably Xerneas, but people usually gang up on it when it shows up

[worn cobalt]

What's a third mon I can throw on a non mega ranked team? I have Annihilape and Gholdengo.

Ig I could do assault vest Metagross.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah ok it was p east

[ocean vapor]

Nah nah do uhm.. Whats it called, the false dragon pokemon

[robust wren]

Only false dragon I can think of is Dondozo

[ocean vapor]

Yeah dodonzo

[worn cobalt]

So, did ranked with Annihilape, Metagross, and Gholdengo. Took second, 6 kills vs first's 7 and 3rds 1 and 4ths 0. This team will work.

That's with no mega stones.

[ocean vapor]

What combination of berries is good for time? Like my highest one was 17 minutes but I dont remember what berries I hsed

[wispy kernel]

more calories equals more time

more calories are used per second the higher star level a pocket is

[noble ice]

I’m wondering if who I should swap for my Hawlucha on my team.

I was thinking either Zeraora or Baxcalibur.

[ocean vapor]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

I didn't know the higher level ones consume more calories

This was never told to me ty gamefreak

[wispy kernel]

Go to a 1 star pocket and look at how long a 4 star donut lasts, then go do the same for a 3 or 4 star pocket with the same donut

You can see how big the difference is

[ocean vapor]

Yeah I see that now baha

[quiet frost]

i got a switch 2 for christmas and za so i can actually experience it in full :D

[ocean vapor]

Yeah so now that I've finished the dlc story, ||it still doesn't totally make sense. Darkrai caused hyperspace, which is clear enough, and that all the pokemon/people in them are dreams/imagination. But that doesn't explain why a. They can LEAVE hyperspace and b. When darkrai's influence eventually fades away, why the pokemon don't just poof. If they are made sustainable by dreams, they aren't REAL, and therefore shouldn't be tangable. Which also leads me to another point of plothole- if Korrina and the dead husband, for example, are dreams- why do they know things the people don't?||

||There is no way for the dead guy's living wife to know where he left the ring. And if it's Tarragon's imagination bringing the guy into the hyperspace, how would Tarragon know where to find the guys wife? There was little discussion about what exactly Tarragon knew of he man only that Canari liked him and he was entrusted with the ring to fix. Tarragon didn't know the man was dead, or that the wife was even still around.||

||Also, the fact that all of the hyperspaces were of lumiose doesn't make sense either. Most of my dreams don't happen in the place I live, or even the city for that matter. This could be chalked up to the people and pokemon of Lumiose having boring ass dreams, but it's more than likely a budget/time cut from nintendo.||

||Also another weird/loose plot point is just how Ansha found Hoopa. She said he had been beat up by a pokemon it had played a prank on and was hurt, so she fed it a donut and he didn't leave her. Where?? Where on earth is she just finding random mythical pokemon?? Where is she hanging out?? Like this doesn't make sense. Also why would she randomly have a donut on her person to feed said pokemon.||

||The dreams thing have worked if the pokemon/people didn't exit the dream. See, the thing about the dreams bringing people and pokemon from the subconscious out, is that there in many cases the people/pokemon in question ALREADY EXIST in our world. For example, the Galarian kid and the Corvisquire. That Corvisquire is around somewhere, so what happens if that pokemon and the dream pokemon meet? Huge paradox that IMO should have been accounted for...||

Sorry for the long rant!

The Lazers are fucking me UP

[wispy kernel]

for the lasers I just waited until right before they fired then dodged so they wouldnt track me or anything

at least I think I did. been a bit since I did the fight

[ocean vapor]

They don't track me they just swivel so fricking fast I can't react in time at all even when I'm far away

And I can't cheese it by standing under him bc there's a forcefield..

Holy shit I just got my first shiny

I'm really happy about it I really like mega excadrill

[subtle ledge]

I don’t really know where to talk about this, but I just got ZA and I feel like I’m going insane because the main theme is literally just Quilty Square from Kirby’s Epic Yarn

I’m not crazy, right? The melody here is the same?

[ocean vapor]

OOO

[ocean vapor]

Ur not crazy I hear it

[subtle ledge]

I guess it’s within Nintendo’s rights to copy their own songs but man what the hell

Anyway, this game is really good. I’m gonna go back to playing it goodbye

[runic peak]

this game is so fun man, before this the most "modern" pokemon games i had played were 3ds ones on emulator and like they were not bad but it's just a completely different thing to be playing this after that

[ocean vapor]

I personally find it to be kind of a drag, you can find my rant further up if you care abt my opinion KEKW

[sweet crag]

You're right

[ocean vapor]

2 shiny litleo and a shiny charmander up for grabs :3

How to play pokemon infinite fusion in Android mobile

[wispy kernel]

nobody knows how

you can discover this advanced technique for the betterment of mankind

I believe

[charred sage]

ok playing for a bit and what does the quick claw do?

I sometimes see it proc on my simipour but I'm not sure what it's doing when it does

...oh right yea, forgot there was a shiny quest

surprised that quest doesn't have dialogue if you already have a shiny pokemon before starting it lol

[ocean vapor]

Basically has a chance to (I think) instantly cast whatever move you used, skipping cast time? Either that or the cool down is reduced I'm not sure

I haven't used it enough to figure it out

[charred sage]

oddly enough I think it'd help the most with aqua ring on my current moveset since that move seems to have a big wind-up

[ocean vapor]

Yeah, fairly- a lot of high power moves have huge long cast time

Like hyper beam omg

Takes forever

I personally used it on amphoros and zap cannon earlier game, before I got amphrosite

Yeah I looked it up- it basically executes them faster but not instantly

Like by a % but it's not saying how much exactly

[tired crane]

Congrats!

[severe pier]

Ranked the megas

there's really not any bad megas imo just "meh" megas

hense why there's no f tier

[desert current]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-point-kronk-gif-13896471

[ocean vapor]

Having to reset a bazillion times just to get Berry power and big haul on the same 5* donut is fucking draining bruh

Having to leave the game and reset every time... Sniff

And not just normal reset either

Gotta go back to ur backup save... Fricking lame

[robust wren]

If we're doing Mega tier lists here's mine

Also, can we all agree that this game made ||the Mythical terminology even more arbitrary than ever before? With how it makes so many of these Pokémon more easy to access than ever before without any event distribution, the one and only meaningful difference between the Mythical and Legendary terminologies is more tenuous now than ever before.||

[charred sage]

imo meltan/melmetal already destroyed mythical as a classification for me but I can 100% see this just stomping on the ashes that remained lol

[robust wren]

Unless I miscounted, there's only about ||six Mythical Pokémon that are still stuck behind events or special distribution events: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Victini, Zarude, and Pecharunt||

[runic peak]

why do so many people don't like mega excadrill

i like comically large drill

[wispy kernel]

||I’d argue that Mew Jirachi Celebi and Pecharunt aren’t on the same level as Victini and Zarude. Pecharunt will be available until the end of support for the switch servers just like how Diancie is in ZA, Jirachi is free in BDSP if you have save data from SWSH which should be counted since Shaymin isnt on your list and it’s available through SWSH data in PLA, Mew is also from BDSP with LGPE data but also if you manage to get a Pokeball Plus, you can get it from that too, and Celebi is available in the 3ds virtual console version of Crystal similar to Deoxys||

[ocean vapor]

||Hardest pokemon to get your paws on nowadays is ho-oh, if you're doing things legit. But BDSP kinda fucked that up tbh. Me personally, I don't care- I'd rather have an over abundance of them than not being able to get them at all due to them being either region locked or just discontinued.||

||Ho-Oh is the hardest, tied with Celebi due to Pokemon colosseum's availability but it being extremely grindy and difficult 🙏||

[ocean vapor]

||Well that's excluding pokemon that are entirely region/event locked which makes them impossible to obtain which is lame in my opinion 🙏||

[wispy kernel]

||fym Ho-oh what||

||Ho-oh is available in a ton of games||

[ocean vapor]

Scratches head

Isnt ho-oh only available in bdsp these days?

It’s been available every gen since gen 6

[ocean vapor]

Like easily

To catch-

[wispy kernel]

yes it has been

[ocean vapor]

Well ok alola too you right

[wispy kernel]

and SwSh

and SV

and ORAS

[ocean vapor]

Ok I'm an idiot 🥺

[wispy kernel]

why even say Ho-oh but not Lugia?

[ocean vapor]

I was basing it off of how u get ho oh in Colosseum..

-><-

Which u can get Celebi in Colosseum too, but you need to have a Japanese extra CD and go thru a lengthy process

• playing on jp hardware

[wispy kernel]

Ho-oh and Lugia are also notable for being the only legendary pair you can catch in the opposite version

like in HGSS you can still get Ho-oh in Soul Silver and Lugia in Heart Gold in postgame

[ocean vapor]

Think jirachi was available on na hardware as an extra CD too

[wispy kernel]

I think Jirachi is for XD specifically

[ocean vapor]

You may be right I just know it was an extra CD for a Colosseum game

But my main point still stands ig- I'd rather they not be as rare as they were than them being fucking lost media in a few years 🙏

And Nintendo agrees, because people have probably been hounding GF to make the mythicals more accessible for newer generation fans

Besides, if you're an older gen fan and manage to get one of those original event only mythicals, they are inherently more special than newer ones

Bc cherish ball + trainer ID is the distribution one

So in reality their like actual value hasn't dropped, really

Anyway off topic of that, I'm like so over trying to get the right berries and I've hit a dead end where I can't generate good donuts with the berries I have to get better berries so uhm.

If anyone wouldn't mind trading me a bunch of trash mons holding sour berries that would be fucking goated 👍🥺🙏😭🥺6🙏👍🥺

[velvet forum]

officially have 75 shinies all together

[ocean vapor]

Lance.. Lance... Spare some berries... Holds up hat with a single penny and pocket lint...

[velvet forum]

[ocean vapor]

[velvet forum]

[ocean vapor]

My last charmander I had like 24 calories left and I hadn't completed the goals yet BC I'm dumb

And I needed one more pokemon for it so

Scratches head

Idk I'll just give up on raywuaza for a while it's actually rlly frustrating me

[velvet forum]

why

[ocean vapor]

Bc I can't get the berries I need for his damn donut

I'm always like 5 points off

[charred sage]

hmmm can I get an alpha eevee before postgame or do I need to trade with a DLC player for that since the level on serebii's saying level 28 s the minimum... from the hyperspace zones

[charred sage]

the December charizard push doing well I see

[ocean vapor]

Once you unlock zone 19 I think you can find an alpha eevee... THINK bc I think all pokemon have a chance to roll to be an alpha?

At least in zones

[charred sage]

zone 19 is lategame I take it?

just doing the mega camerupt raid now for reference on where I am

[hazy knot]

Based starmie enjoyers

[wispy kernel]

B Rank

its a while away lol

[charred sage]

ok so beating this is doable without megas it's just gonna take a while

...I'm also pretty sure I can't defeat the remaining two with just my water and normal/ground types so I'm gonna need to find two more mons I like

so on that note, how does refreshing wild areas work?

...I like how I was typing that I get ambushed by two alphas, neither one of which was the species I wanted

one of which I can use though (flabebe)

[wispy kernel]

sit on a bench or fast travel

[charred sage]

thanke

in that case, "day turning to night and back" also works I take it since that's what just happened

[gray robin]

looking to trade for the shinies i need for my team or a prevo: meganium, chandalure, eelektross, and Hawlucha

[wispy kernel]

I feel like for the first set of rogue megas youre kinda intended to use your starter against what they beat, then use slowbro camerupt and victreebel to beat the next ones, they even give you tips on how to get the pokemon during it lol

[charred sage]

makes sense lol

ok there we go got the one I wanted

[ocean vapor]

Yuhh

[ocean vapor]

Is that alpha gardevoir male....

[gray robin]

yes

[ocean vapor]

First set of rogue megas you don't have starter mega yet, so you use absol

[wispy kernel]

wrong

[ocean vapor]

WOOOO I'll shiny hunt that meganium for ya (I just so happen to have a lv 3 grass sparkling)

[wispy kernel]

you get the starter mega after beating vinnie which is right before doing the first set of rogue megas

[ocean vapor]

Scratches head

Idk my memory is ass

Why do I talk 😔

[wispy kernel]

nah its fine I dont expect everybody to be as mentally ill as I am and have perfect encyclopedic knowledge about these games

[ocean vapor]

I just know I used absol for the first couple coz I don't remember having an emboarite at that point

[wispy kernel]

AZ hands you the starter mega stone after the strategy meeting

[gray robin]

im trying to get my team before i do much in the dlc and ive found about a dozen shinies in zone 20 none i want

[ocean vapor]

I'll get on it rn

It should only take a couple hours of resetting

[gray robin]

ok ill try at the other 3 ig

[charred sage]

omg I had a dumb idea for my Eviolite Mon of the Run (tm)

meanwhile if anyone could get me just a regular alpha nickit I'd appreciate it even if I can't trade anything I believe

[ocean vapor]

My hunt has started! (You might get a shalpha coz I didn't notice the donut had alpha power too bwaha)

[gray robin]

idrc i just haven't found what i need in way too long

[noble ice]

Got some extra shiny Pokémon if anybody wants any of them

[charred sage]

hmmm debating on my final pokemon for my team

it's between hippowdon, tyrantrum, or machamp

[ocean vapor]

Tyantum

[ocean vapor]

Havent found one yet :') love my luck

[gray robin]

Same

[ocean vapor]

Lv 3 grass sparkling power donut don't do shit 🙏

[charred sage]

ok nevermind lol

if the game's gonna just spawn an alpha hippopotas I may as well go with that

[ocean vapor]

True asl

[worn cobalt]

Is that a shiny Foongus?

[noble ice]

Yes

[worn cobalt]

Wanna trade something for it?

[noble ice]

Sure a soon as I get somewhere where there’s Internet

[worn cobalt]

I do have an event later, so let me know when you might be free

[noble ice]

Ok

[brazen jetty]

dlc spoiler

||gamefreak wtf are these stats||

[robust wren]

||TBF it's a Mega Magearna, even getting the Mega Pyroar treatment would be insane for it. Nothing on it could possibly be a dump stat.||

||even the Attack buff they seem to want to be the dump stat is something Magearna appreciates cause it has Shift Gear||

[charred sage]

||"Agility with Extra Boosts"||

also the rank F fight had a bad time with hippowdon rofl

[wispy kernel]

no abilities in this game is devastating

[charred sage]

man I wanna use furf but without its ability its...

[charred sage]

yea using hippo is nice because the rest of my team isn't getting bonked by sandstorm damage

[wispy kernel]

I was mostly talking about the rank F fight person

[charred sage]

yea

[wispy kernel]

their ace uh. would really benefit from abilities

[charred sage]

very much

[wispy kernel]

god I’m so sorry eelektross

[charred sage]

also on the fight before that having my dig come out slightly after the opponent's dig was like

[wispy kernel]

your whole thing is not having an ability and they did this to you

[charred sage]

"ah yes I see we're a bit too evenly matched."

[wispy kernel]

I’ve had that happen in ranked before

its very funny

[charred sage]

nice

[wispy kernel]

their Excadrill completely misses as I nuke them to hell via Steelix

god bless steelix

[noble ice]

@worn cobalt
I’m ready

[worn cobalt]

Okay, let me hurry.

[worn cobalt]

11225577

[noble ice]

Sorry I was busy

[noble ice]

But I’m ready

[worn cobalt]

You running into problems?

[noble ice]

Well, I am out in the country

We can try again tomorrow if you want

[worn cobalt]

Let's try again later.

[noble ice]

Ok

I probably won’t be home until like around 10 ish

[worn cobalt]

Time zone?

[noble ice]

Central

[worn cobalt]

Okay, so 9 for me. I may be available then, doing an escape room. Unless we are talking am.

[noble ice]

Ok

[viscid adder]

I have acquired a switch 2 and a ZA

will probably play it tomorrow

[noble ice]

Well, if you need any early shiny Pokémon, let me know

I have plenty to give away

[gray robin]

has it done something

[runic peak]

second shiny!
not one I'm really interested in but still cool

also if I had a nickel for each time I stayed up late and found a shiny I'd have two nickels which is all my shinies and it's weird that it happened twice

[noble ice]

@worn cobalt
I’m home so if you’re ready to do the trade, I’m ready

[worn cobalt]

I probably can't tonight, doing a Magic the gathering draft.

[noble ice]

OK, I’ll be down to do it tomorrow though

[charred sage]

ROFL

"ok heck you wild alpha ||weepinbel|| tosses pokeball at wild heracross* I'm just taking this and leaving."

"...wow that worked?"

[summer flare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5AJ_XxuEfA

[worn cobalt]

Are you free now? I have some time between rounds.

[worn cobalt]

Well, guess you went to bed, we'll trade tomorrow when free.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah it makes mega mawile useless ;(

[ocean vapor]

Sorry I went tot bed (it was like 1 am for me) I'll get back to it now that I'm awake

[gray robin]

ok

[ocean vapor]

This does NOT feel like 1 in 504 to me... 😭

[broken schooner]

Does anyone have 2 spare feebas they can trade me? I've been resetting distortions for a while and I just cant find a two star one that has it...

[jade ocean]

Mega Mawile actually got 42 Attack to make up for no Huge Power

It's still a shadow of its former self but 147 Attack's not exactly garbage

Mega Medicham and Mega Starmie get the same treatment, getting a 40% boost to their Attack that makes their stat gain more than 100

(Yes, Starmie)

[ocean vapor]

Well fair, but it's still no where near the top ranks of megas like it used to be

Anyway

[ocean vapor]

I got your shiny chikorita

ONE. 😭🙏

Here all day shinies.. Rubs nose

[ocean vapor]

Oh also I'd love that skidoo! U can choose any of the unevolved shinies I gots 👍

[noble ice]

Do you wanna trade the charmander for the skidoo?

[ocean vapor]

Sure!

[noble ice]

OK, tell me when you’re ready and I’ll send you the code

[ocean vapor]

I lov shiddoo

How abouttt 060020

[noble ice]

👍

[ocean vapor]

Oh wait not long enoug

[ocean vapor]

[noble ice]

[ocean vapor]

[noble ice]
