: bongopuff :

[ocean vapor]

I didn't do that either

Is a speed nature on steelix ok?

[broken schooner]

I would do adamant or something

[ocean vapor]

Although it's.. Minus spdef

So time for mint

Hope I have an adamant one 😭

[broken schooner]

oh wait might be because I'm using vencord for animated emojis and not discord nitro 😭

[ocean vapor]

Oh yeaaah prob

[broken schooner]

back to the feebas grind

[ocean vapor]

Oh I did have an adamant mint

YIPPIE

[broken schooner]

I'm getting 2 star water distortions but they never seem to contain feebas...

;/

[ocean vapor]

I can help look for one gaha

[broken schooner]

its a pain 😭

like I know the spawns aren't limited to whats shown in the preview of the distortion, but even when I go in it it doesn't seem to spawn any

[ocean vapor]

Yeah it's a pain in the buttocks

[ocean vapor]

@gray robin just another reminder in case you didn't see the ping earlier, I got you your chikorita :3

[noble ice]

Anybody want a shiny bird?

[ocean vapor]

Ugly bird ❤

[gray robin]

[ocean vapor]

Ok! Just gimmie a ping and I'll get on 👍

[worn cobalt]

Are you available now? And yes, I am interested in the different shiny birds as well.

[noble ice]

Let me take my shower real quick and then I’ll be able

[worn cobalt]

Also, what would you like for these shinies?

[noble ice]

I don’t know I’m gonna need to look at them again, but I am ready, and I also got some more shiny Pokémon while I was at it.

If any of those Litleo’s are Male I’ll take it and if the Binacle hasn’t been taken yet, I’ll take that too.

[ocean vapor]

Oo shiny litwick

[somber galleon]

Anyone got a milotic i can borrow for pokedex since someone scammed me out of mine?

[ocean vapor]

Awh man :( sorry that happened dude

[lime void]

If Pokémon Home had ZA compatibility, I’d breed one in BDSP for you, but sadly it STILL doesn’t for some reason

[somber galleon]

Yeah need to get a new scale but it impossible to find

[somber galleon]

Cause there no abilities

[lime void]

Neither does Arceus, and that has Home compatibility

[somber galleon]

Maybe the movesets how it changed?

But googled it won't be available till 2026 idk when

[ocean vapor]

Yeah it's weird it doesn't have home compatibility yet

[somber galleon]

Probably waiting a year like last time

[worn cobalt]

No shiny male Litleo, sorry. Ready to trade when you are.

[worn cobalt]

You need a Milotic? Are you available to trade now?

[noble ice]

I’m ready to trade

[worn cobalt]

11447788

I'll trade some good random shinies for the bird/s

[noble ice]

Ok

By the way, the one in the bottom right is a alpha

[worn cobalt]

Don't need the alpha

[noble ice]

Ok

Just the other three colors

[somber galleon]

Natm but I will later only need it temporary i will trade it back

[noble ice]

I’ll take one of those shiny panpor for my last

[worn cobalt]

Sounds good!

[noble ice]

Pleasure doing business with you enjoy your shiny Pokémon

[worn cobalt]

You as well!

[worn cobalt]

I can just straight up send you a Feebas with Prism Scale to keep.

[somber galleon]

I got a few shinys myself garbardor, houndoom, ralts, beedrill

[somber galleon]

You sure never use milotic just need it for the pokedex

[worn cobalt]

I already have mine, and you deserve to have one.

Although, if you aren't ready to trade right now, we may need to wait a few hours as I have an event to get to soon.

[somber galleon]

That fine

[worn cobalt]

Okay. Also, I have shinies to give away. Let me know if you want anything. I don't need shinies in return.

Be back later chat!

[somber galleon]

I'll make list of my shinies

[somber galleon]

Beedrill, ampharos, roserade, barbaracle, bellsprout, kirlia x2, garbodor and houndoom those are my shinies

[spiral grotto]

[ocean vapor]

Oh I saw someone with a shiny litwick

[ocean vapor]

If you have something they want they might trade it to ya

°

Oops

[gray robin]

[noble ice]

Is that Litleo male if not I’ll take the squirtle.

[gray robin]

i can check

[ocean vapor]

That Lucario is so tempting

[gray robin]

fem sry still good to squirtle?

[gray robin]

its modest

[noble ice]

Yeah, that’s fine

[ocean vapor]

Shakes mint

[gray robin]

07220722

[gray robin]

no mint needed

[ocean vapor]

Oh I don't remember what natures do what

Not that I have anything else you want xd

[rocky nexus]

Taking litleo over shalpha lucario or shiny xs squirrel is wild

[gray robin]

• special attack - physical attack

[rocky nexus]

Just go to wild zone 3

[noble ice]

Yeah, sorry I’m in a cut scene right now. I’m smashing the A button as much as I can.

[gray robin]

well im still wanting to trade for other things

[gray robin]

thx

[ocean vapor]

Male shiny litleo is p rare

I didn't get one after 3 shiny litleo

[noble ice]

All right cut scene is done. I am now putting in the code.

[indigo mango]

well like...i was def right about it being ||Dakrai that speaks to you...making it a bit too obvious now with its donut lul||

[noble ice]

@gray robin
You wanted the Litwick right

[gray robin]

yes

[noble ice]

👍

[indigo mango]

also looked up a tutorial to make his donut but like that one only went to +88 levels...so i just made a ||bad dream donut|| myself and reached level 99

[gray robin]

i also need something from the eelektross line and a Hawlucha if you want anything else

[noble ice]

Sorry, I don’t have any of that, but I’ll let you know if I find anything

[gray robin]

ok thx

[ocean vapor]

Yeah just spam the needed stats with high lv berries tbh

[gray robin]

lf shiny eelektross or prevo also lf shiny Hawlucha

[ocean vapor]

I have like 3 shiny bellsprout I need gone

[charred sage]

...oh, so that's zone 17

was really funny walking in and being like "alright gimmie a sec" then walking out

takes two steps in: "hippowdon used earthquake!"

[ocean vapor]

REAL

Ugh I want shiny rayray

Bad game no shiny rayray

LET ME SHINY HUNT THE LEGENDARY RAAARGH

It would be HELL tho...

[finite totem]

||Is there any news on Garchomp Z side||

||(please don't be a Cynthia or Volo event🙏😭)||

[robust wren]

||I feel like if it was Volo related it would be a Mega Togekiss||

[finite totem]

||or Hisuian Arcanine||

[ocean vapor]

||mega togekiss would go hard||

[finite totem]

||fr. anyways I just hope they do something different. Cynthia is overused and using an entire immortalish antagonist for a side event is just bad.||

[robust wren]

||looked around at some fanmade Mega Togekiss designs and most of them just give it more wings that clutter the design ||

[ocean vapor]

||agree on Cynthia, disagree on volo- I wouldn't mind seeing him, seeing as he's straight chillin now||

[ocean vapor]

Good thing game freak can't use any of those! (Seriously people need to stop posting fanmade mega designs, GF has most definitely thought of something similar just to not be able to due to not wanting to buy the rights/infringe on it)

[finite totem]

Can't really think different way of having that though

||Well you can always make it emo like other birds||

[ocean vapor]

No more emos...

||mega togekiss but they make it proper plane shape||

I would make a joke but I'd get muted so

[robust wren]

||Togekiss has a strong association with doves and peace, so a bit of angel influence for a Mega would be welcome||

[ocean vapor]

||true, honestly I think giving it a more avian appearance could work, OR big hair like 60% of megas||

||like pidgeot||

[indigo mango]

Ok mega || Dakrai|| was definitely the easiest fight of the DLC

[jade ocean]

||Really? I found it to be one of the harder ones||

||Mainly because bro shits out so much damage vs your Pokemon||

[indigo mango]

Never died and only megad once

Tho I mean it was a fight between lvl 200 and lvl 199

[finite totem]

||what if we just gave it a huge branch of an olive tree (or smoliv tree?) and made it slightly longer||

[unborn elm]

Watched my pops shit on || darkrai || with emboar alone

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-emboar-legends-za-pokemon-memes-gif-4920151184598326161

[jade ocean]

See, thing is, most of the Rogue Megas are very easy to beat with only 1 Pokemon

||But Darkrai actually almost managed to outdamage Emboar's Drain Punch healing, I think I landed the final hit when I was at like 30% HP?||

||Which is a lot closer than any other Rogue Mega I've fought except maybe like Dragonite or Ttar or something||

||The Drowsy Damage is nuts||

[worn cobalt]

Are you online and want a Feebas?

Guess I shiny hunt Porygon now?

[runic peak]

chat I'm scared

[runic peak]

i was getting falinks i'm just gonna go to zone 17 now because funny (i feel like it's not gonna be funny...)

IT WAS NOT FUNNY AT ALL

[runic peak]

omfg I love their walking sounds so much

I'm so happy I'm finally able to use falinks

beautiful creatures

[old lily]

they did that for dragonite ;-;

[charred sage]

late but (?) but not having too much trouble with zone 17 (though the skarmory is another story) but mostly since hippowdon's +Earthquake does wonders in taking out most of the non-alpha pyroars in a single shot with it usually only missing a straggler or two

[runic peak]

so I did find out they were not that terrible to kill, I defeated them with mega falinks

[charred sage]

right now I'm ping-ponging between skarmory and alpha eevee (gonna be my final team member) and it might take a bit for either rofl

that probably also works yea

[runic peak]

they were still terrifying though

[charred sage]

so far I've had to break my no-megas challenge twice lol

(once in the first rogue mega battle and once on a fight in rank C that literally won't let you pass unless you do it)

[runic peak]

only one member of my team isn't a mega lol

there's just so many good ones

||Holy shit I'm meeting jacinthe now will I finally get to listen to epic electro swing in a pokemon game||

[charred sage]

getting me a heck of a lot of EXP candy though between the alpha pyroar and the alpha furfrous

[runic peak]

wait idk if I should spoiler or not

uhh

[charred sage]

I just got past there myself so you're good

[runic peak]

oh cool

well just in case though

||god damnit taunie I don't wanna battle rogue megas||

[charred sage]

my thoughts exactly during that cutscene rofl

[runic peak]

i hate taunie

[unborn elm]

Same person who got us 1 million pokedollars in debt

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

[runic peak]

yeah I did hate her for that at first

but now she stops me from listening to electro swing in a pokemon game??? smh

[unborn elm]

Dude jacinthe’s theme is so good

https://tenor.com/view/black-kid-swag-domenic77x-blicky-stify-6ix9ine-gif-23285763

If pokemon knows 1 thing

It’s making amazing themes

[runic peak]

I have listened this it countless times and heard remixes it's so good

Until this point I had no idea who jacinthe was but all I knew is that her theme is absolute cinema

[unborn elm]

Fr

1 theme that is immaculate is one from the dlc

It’s amazing

If you really wanna know which theme it is it’s || mega rayquaza’s ||

Like it’s such an amazing remix

[runic peak]

I'm prob not getting the dlc anyways

[charred sage]

there we go the skarm came first lol

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-dance-break-dance-spin-gif-26037496

[runic peak]

so i did spoil myself parts of the dlc because i didn't really care

[unborn elm]

But golisipod

https://tenor.com/view/golisopod-gif-14826847215639380504

[runic peak]

I did spoil myself major parts of the main game though because I did not think I would actually get a new console and have the game 😭

[unborn elm]

Golisipod would be such a decent Mon if emergency exit didn’t exist

Like why

[runic peak]

But honestly it hasn't been a really big issue it's still really fun

[unborn elm]

For such a Slow Mon

[indigo mango]

just dont let it get hit

get good

[unborn elm]

[runic peak]

||hopefully gamefreak gives the mega another ability||

[charred sage]

ok so alphas aren't a 100% catch rate rip eevee number 1

[indigo mango]

why would they be

[unborn elm]

IM PRAYING THEY GIVE IT || REGENERATOR IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE IM BEGGING ||

[charred sage]

||base goli feels very much like they want you to come in, use First Impression then have the ability proc so you can switch out and keep doing that||

[runic peak]

[unborn elm]

Yea but like the ability really sucks since to make it activate you HAVE to take damage

I just really hate emergency exit tho so

Idk

I am emergency exits #1 opp

https://tenor.com/view/golisopod-gif-3871198477712241251

[indigo mango]

it probably will get an abbility that mirrors it, rather then an abbility activating when its HP is low, an Abbility activates when the enemy's HP is low...maybe it gainst attack due to the extra arms being used now..or the abbility will just deal damage if the enemy goes in the red

[unborn elm]

|| regenerator would be a really good ability for mega goli since it involves switching to activate ||

Plus it’d be funny to cheese with

|| just first impression switch out and heal then do it over and over again ||

|| or we could just give it stamina ||

[charred sage]

oh gosh I just had an evil thought

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-covering-mouth-stream-scary-speed-scared-gif-3435748839023247479

[charred sage]

reverse: when it gets down to half health, both the user and the opponent are automatically Trapped

[unborn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-shock-gif-7663484644238493630

[charred sage]

kinda like what Jaw Lock does actually

[unborn elm]

Actually that’d be a bit shitty bc what if the Mon had a fire move and got it to under half on a switch in

|| mega goli would be fucked ||

https://tenor.com/view/bye-goodbye-leave-disappear-gorbgif-gif-23138036

[charred sage]

oh well that's a second shiny

shame it's kangaskahn though and I already have a normal type

adamant too nice

[runic peak]

actually I wanna know what kind of videos she made that costed her 100k pokedollars 😭

[robust wren]

Can I also say that I low key kinda blame Urbain/Taunie for ||Ange going hyper rogue? The entire storyline was talking about how Mega Floette could only have its power properly utilized by the strongest Mega Evolution user. The PC is explicitly a stronger Mega Evolution user than them, but they poached the role of welding Mega Floette from us cause they wanted to be a hero. And look how that turned out.||

[frank lily]

lowkey, I was confused for a bit wondering who tf Taunie was then realized she's who guides you when you pick a male character.

[somber galleon]

Hey sorry i fell asleep

[jade ocean]

||Even if you lose to Taunie/Urbain, Ange goes Hyperrogue. It was doomed from the very start||

[ocean vapor]

Yeah it ||was their fault imo, they were just being kinda selfish||

[ocean vapor]

||thats coz.. You don't go up there even if you win.. The MC is clearly supposed to be the best mega evolution user canonically, they say it many times in the story||

[robust wren]

The funniest part of their entire character arc IMO is that it ends with them ||becoming a nepo baby.||

[ocean vapor]

Ikr 😭 like DAMN I KNEW I SUMN WAS WRONG WITH YOH

They're just so ||boastful and selfish at times, srsly the worst rival we've had in a while||

||it worked with Gary/Blue bc he had a reason to be mean to Red, seeing as his grandpa favored Red||

But eventually he grew out of it bc they were literally 10

Urbain/Taunie are like 16-18

[ocean vapor]

Are we cooking chat

[velvet forum]

no

thats a waste

you only need like

400

[ocean vapor]

I had a lot and I just needed the extra time from calories

• if it's pure sweet then I won't risk having to reroll 92838392827382 times to get lv 3 sparkling due to the slots being taken by other flavour boosts

[wispy kernel]

yes

dont listen to that other guy

[finite totem]

||cant decide if him or kieran is actually worse||

||both are idiots with undercooked personalities that almost gets you killed||

||to think barry is also up there||

[finite totem]

||I wish this dude had something for it||

[charred sage]

this one feels worse since ||kitikami at least feels like an Idiot Plot for everyone involved while this one just has a family pair dragging everyone else down||

I like everyone else here at least for what it's worth

[finite totem]

||nah Carmine or Drayton could have never let Terapagos go berserk ||

[charred sage]

||emphasis on kitikami there, not so much Indigo Disc or post-disc||

[finite totem]

||I would rather use "steal someone's legendary Pokemon and break his ego" and "break ego of same child for a second time"||

[charred sage]

||the game very much went "THAT IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU" at keiran there||

[somber galleon]

O.o

[ocean vapor]

Yeah but ||why did he turn into the fucking joker bro 😭 also honestly I feel like ogerpon should've gone with him, and it would've if we weren't the main character and get everything always||

[unborn elm]

I mean || imagine being on the ogres side or whatever just for some random doofus to pull up, beat your ass 2-3 times then take the ogre with them ||

|| Kieran deserved better 💔 ||

|| THEN IN BLUEBERRY WHERE TERAPAGOS LOWKEY JUST DISCOMBOBULATED HIS MASTER BALL ||

[worn cobalt]

Are you available now?

[somber galleon]

I am

[ocean vapor]

||yeah free my boy Kieran from side character status fuck this mc||

[worn cobalt]

Let me get on my switch, you wanted Feebas/Milotic, right?

[ocean vapor]

||genuinely would give him ogerpon in the first place bc Kiki is so cyute||

[somber galleon]

Well just milotic had feebas

You want anything in return sure i got a pokedex full i can give

[worn cobalt]

Just a junk Mon.

[worn cobalt]

22335566

[worn cobalt]

Steven?

[somber galleon]

Yep

You want annihilape?

[worn cobalt]

Just something I can release

[robust wren]

Also ||Kieran was portrayed as the selfish, entitled brat he truly was, while we're always supposed to be on Urbain/Taunies side even as they do such idiotic things||

[somber galleon]

Was wondering since it had a thumbs up is all

[worn cobalt]

Idk, I'm only missing Rotom.

[somber galleon]

Don't think I have that i can check

[worn cobalt]

It's all good.

[somber galleon]

Nah i don't

[worn cobalt]

Enjoy Milotic

[somber galleon]

If i get one i let you know and thank you

[worn cobalt]

No problem.

[severe pier]

hey can someone help me evolve 5 trade evos rq

[somber galleon]

Sure you need need ones that need an held item to trade like onix with steel coat

[somber galleon]

I end the evo part early so you get it

Did they get end of the evo end?

If this doesn't count i will catch and get the items for you and send over

[severe pier]

Thank you for evolving my mons, all I need is Zygarde and I will have completed the dex

[somber galleon]

Let me know if the evos count for your mission

If not bare with me

[severe pier]

They didnt count :(

[somber galleon]

Ok give me a few

[severe pier]

Same code?

[somber galleon]

Give me a few to catch them and get the items

[severe pier]

Ok

[worn cobalt]

Having the shiny charm is so nice.

[runic peak]

||she still was easy to beat though...||

[severe pier]

Does Legends Z-A have a dex completetion diploma?

[worn cobalt]

not that I've seen.

[somber galleon]

No sadly

[worn cobalt]

||IDK how Lebanne loses all the time to Jacinthe. Sure, Fairy beats dragon, but Lebanne 's team is better.||

[runic peak]

||her ace is a poison type 🙏||

[somber galleon]

Did those count?

[severe pier]

6 more levels to go

[severe pier]

Yes!

[somber galleon]

Good ^^

[worn cobalt]

Do you have the Dlc?

[severe pier]

Yes

[worn cobalt]

The DLC missions will make those last six levels easier than grinding 1000 trainer battles.

[severe pier]

But i plan on doing all the research quests anyways

I am going to get my money's worth

[somber galleon]

God hated the 1k battles

[worn cobalt]

I wish they added rewards for after the shiny charm.

[finite totem]

Is there like a range of the shiny sound?

[somber galleon]

Like an extra increase bonus to the charm

[worn cobalt]

Yes ish. You should be pretty close if you can hear it, but it may be above or below you. You probably won't hear it if it's on a rooftop, but it could be anywhere within, my guess, 20 meters

[robust wren]

||Who's losing to the out of touch rich lady who thinks Aurorus is A: good and B: good coverage on a Fairy team||

[worn cobalt]

That's why I clearly think it's a skill issue.

Git gud

[robust wren]

||oh no, an Aurorus! I'll have to use the Steel type that's bodied almost the entirety of the rest of her team!||

[worn cobalt]

I love you can just send a tanky Metagross to just Heavy slam over and over and just destroy her

[jade ocean]

||OK but in Lebanne's Defence Archaludon doesn't exist here and Hisuian Goodra is in the past||

Did autocorrect just automatically capitalise defence

I play Pokemon too much

[worn cobalt]

||in the infinite tournament vs Jacinthe, I left a turbo controller spamming Heavy slam and A button, and got over 600 wins without losing. Only quit cuz I was bored and done cleaning.||

[worn cobalt]

No, she gets no defense. Her team is better and she can't win.

[robust wren]

||she has a Garchomp with Iron Head. It really is a Skill Issue at that point.||

[jade ocean]

||It's still Mono Dragon vs Mono Fairy+Aurorus||

[severe pier]

Trying Zygarde again

Lost to 100%

[worn cobalt]

It's ||Pseudo legends vs weak fairy types.||

[jade ocean]

||Pseudo Legend. Singular||

[worn cobalt]

Plus, her ace should sweep all but ||Mawile and Aurorus||.

[jade ocean]

||Mawile and Aurorus KO Dragalge and it's game over for Lebanne||

[worn cobalt]

Skill issue. I should raise a team matching her and see how I do in the infinite tourney.

[jade ocean]

Players can beat games with shit like a singular Magikarp

By that logic does that make Magikarp stronger than a champion?

[worn cobalt]

Skill. I think ||Lebanne|| doesn't have it.

[jade ocean]

Well I think ||she's fighting a very uphill battle, she'd need to outskill Jacinthe by a pretty decent margin to win||

[worn cobalt]

But, I would try and test matching as best as I can to her. If I wanted to actually bother.

Does sound like fun though...

[jade ocean]

The real test would be ||using their teams vs each other and seeing which one you struggle with more||

Because no shit the player beats the NPC, even with a terrible team

Doing just one or the other wouldn't be a fair test

[worn cobalt]

No easy way to rematch ||Lebanne|| easy.

I'd try and match ||Lebanne|| 's team by including no EVs and restricting ace to last.

[jade ocean]

||Well, then you'd easily win as many times as you'd like||

||If you're a player fighting an NPC, no matter your team, if you're adequately leveled you have 0 reason to ever lose||

[worn cobalt]

Fair. Still, I think she clearly has a skill issue. But I digress. Still a cool pair of trainers. Not as cool as ||Corbeau||, who's team is more balanced.

[severe pier]

50% got me this time, accidently crounched at the wrong time

3rd time's the charm ig

I got him

[worn cobalt]

Nice!

[severe pier]

No pokedex diploma ig

[worn cobalt]

Rumor says there might be more mons added, but idk, seems fine to me. Did they have a diploma in PLA?

[severe pier]

I think they did

Nipe

Nope*

But in that game you get Arceus

[worn cobalt]

Oh well, maybe it's a no-diploma thing for Legends games.

[severe pier]

A shame ):(

[worn cobalt]

I do like that the DLC lets you shiny hunt some legendaries. That's neat.

I need to check my shiny dex completion numbers.

[viral pollen]

I just wish shiny hunting didn’t take 5,000 years every time. I actually kinda like the game, more than I thought I would at least but spending an hour refreshing a location over and over again really breaks the flow of the game. There’s probaby shinies I’ve missed out on just because I got too impatient. I end up getting 80% shinies I already have or don’t want which makes it even more frustrating

[worn cobalt]

which is probably why I have like 200 shinies to give away still.

[viral pollen]

Dang, I only have like 60 so far, you go king

Or queen idk gender

[worn cobalt]

I've probably caught almost 900 shinies in this game.

[ocean vapor]

Jesus

I need a shiny alpha buneary 😔 but I can't be fecked

[viral pollen]

Yeah only like 10 of my shinies are alphas idk how y’all do it. I need to get a macro-controller or something but I’m kinda broke

[worn cobalt]

Patience and the shiny charm certainly help.

[finite totem]

You lost the battle! You should train your (already maxed) pokemon and try again!

[gray robin]

still lf shiny eelektross or prevo also lf shiny Hawlucha

[ocean vapor]

Let me guess, the ||Korrina battle, Lucario vs Lucario?||

[finite totem]

||nah rogue staraptor fight||

[storm bone]

that battle is so easy once you know the strategy

[ocean vapor]

Yeah was abt to say

[finite totem]

I didn't arrive to that point of the game tbh

||is strategy just all moves ground/fighting?||

[severe pier]

Completed Z-A's dex, is there anything else I should do before I do the dlc content?

[worn cobalt]

So, I trained some mons for my brother to use so he could get the online ranked mega stones. He... Might have enjoyed the team. Also, did you know in online ranked, if you don't have a mega ring, you can't use plus moves?

Turns out you don't need mega stones to reach rank A.

Just a good team.

[severe pier]

I think i'll try and get my team to lv.100

[worn cobalt]

Now I'm wondering if I need to raise another team like the one I gave my brother. 🤣

Apparently Annihilape, Metagross, and Gholdengo are all you need.

[ocean vapor]

||Just bring mega froslass||

[runic peak]

third shiny
it's insane how easy it is to find shinies, i'm absolutely gonna hunt for shinies of my fav mons when i beat the game

[charred sage]

you do technically need one since there's a fight in C-rank that forces you to mega evolve to continue the plot? that seems to be the only outright forced one so far

unless you can access multiplayer before that fight and it's tracked differently

[finite totem]

Complete the story (|| aka 15th battle in infinite za royale if you didn't already||)

Personally I would say you should get a fairy stab too.

And also get yourself side quest regional forms & event Pokemon if you wish.

[charred sage]

got another shiny before alpha eevee: drampa this time

[runic peak]

Why is this game so peak

[charred sage]

there we go I finally got an alpha eevee... in a repeat ball rofl

[charred sage]

I like them since even the alpha(s) will generally just ignore you and continue their Moon dance as long as you don't agitate them

[runic peak]

oh lol

[charred sage]

"if this pokemon forgets this move it won't be able to relearn it!" ...game that's Dig on a Leafeon, are you sure about that.

[indigo mango]

there should be a moon stone after right

i remember moon stones just being at certain places they where not before, so i guess i just missed that animation everytime

[runic peak]

idk

i have 3 moon stones rn

[charred sage]

heckin quick attack on mega crystals is so silly

leafy just teleports over to the crystal even if it's on a wall (aside from one time where she got denied by a lamppost)

[ocean vapor]

I love how ||we get to name a street anything in the dlc||

[indigo mango]

i dunno why but i havent really been trying the sidequests in the dlc

usually i do them all whenever one appears but right now my map looks like a youtubers

[ocean vapor]

Nah same, I finished the main quests in the dlc so now I'm just

Running around

Doing sidequests

[worn cobalt]

Specifically speaking about online ranked

I've got a side quest to finish.

[runic peak]

bro I just heard the sparkle sound again

[charred sage]

ah for online yea I can see that

[severe pier]

This is my current team and I got the dex finished along side the two event mons, so ig finish off the story it is

[runic peak]

chocolate bois

[runic peak]

i'm just doing side quests and finding random shinies lmao

[worn cobalt]

Game chat with my brother and his kids was fun! Yay Switch 2!

[severe pier]

5 more research levels to go

[lime void]

Are you done with the really annoying task yet?

[severe pier]

Which one lol?

[lime void]

The 1000 battles

[severe pier]

Nope

Still working on the 500 battle onw

Just doing the catch X type quests till it turns night, then do as many battles as I can

[lime void]

You don’t need to do all of the quests to get the shiny charm, but you do need to do the 1000 battles

[severe pier]

I do plan on doing all of them

I want to 100% this game

[ocean vapor]

Oh shiny weedle

Was just doing sidequests

[worn cobalt]

Unless you have the dlc.

[ocean vapor]

Yeah dlc makes it way easier

Thats how I got my shiny charm- I tried getting it before dlc but gave up

1k battles is fucking STUPID

[severe pier]

Im at 391/1,000 battles won

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-gif-4679601

[ocean vapor]

Similar for me 😭

[severe pier]

Aight i got all the mega stones money can buy

Now i gotta grind mega shards

[storm bone]

focus on the dlc and it should help a bit

[severe pier]

I havent even touched the dlc lol

Trying to get everything done them do the dlc

[storm bone]

the shiny charm is obtainable wihtout the 1000 battle if you have the dlc

[ocean vapor]

You won't have to go very far into the dlc to get the shiny charm if you're around lv 47-48 already

[frank lily]

I just got on and noticed this in particular, but the game tells you this whenever you go to remove a move an Alpha Pokemon had in their moveset. it's telling you this cause if you do use a tm to relearn the move it won't be a Mastered/Plus move unless you go to someone for training

[robust wren]

Least out of pocket ZA NPC

[lime void]

You heard the man, start killing

[frank lily]

this gives me 'Dude it's just a cookie' vibes

Idk why this npc said that, but I'd have some random comeback in return to lighten the situation

but also it is kinda true that 'straying from dying' can only bring pain if you think about it. someone once got the idea that if a person could live forever they would lose joy in eating since eventually everything starts to lose it's taste or blend together. And even trying new combinations would end the same ay eventually

[robust wren]

""Eyes! Aim for the eyes" those were my brother's last words to me"
"Sir, this is Cafè Nouveau."

[frank lily]

pfttt

[noble ice]

Anybody want a free shiny Tynamo?

[severe pier]

SHINY MALAMAR

Mine now

[charred sage]

uh so question

there's one sidequest that's noticably below the street, I take it that's in the sewers?

[severe pier]

Yep

[lime void]

https://tenor.com/view/malamar-inkay-pokemon-pokemon-xy-pokemon-legends-gif-16116993803971970373

[severe pier]

419/1000 battles

Nearly half way there

[daring finch]

Honestly buy the dlc and do some of thosequests

[severe pier]

I have the dlc

But i havent started it

Its my little reward for when i finish the base game

[frank lily]

idk how you start doing the dlc, I am still trying to do the main missions and keep getting distracted

[severe pier]

Its a side mission post game

[frank lily]

I got the Roto Glide and got so distracted that my main mission stuff is on hold until I get myself focused

[severe pier]

3 more research levels left

[frank lily]

you got this

[severe pier]

I gotta keep catching pokemon and grind the royale

[worn cobalt]

Did someone say they needed a Shalpha Bunnelby?

Oh, lfb wants Shalpha bunneary.

I just gave away like 36 shiny mons. Warms my heart. and empties my boxes.

[severe pier]

Im at 11 reward wins

I need 4 more to complete the story and 9 more for the infinite Jacinthe thing

Almost all my team is lv 100

[worn cobalt]

Nice!

[proven quail]

This is Muldrotha she a Sweetie

[worn cobalt]

Muldrotha, the Gravetide Sliggoo? Nice!

[proven quail]

Hehe alot of my Pokemon are named after MTG characters hehe >\< your like the first to recognize the name

[worn cobalt]

Now I wanna know more names!

[proven quail]

We have
Dakkon -Aegislash
Traxos - Aagron
Chandra- Chandalure (my favorite)
Grist -Scolipede
Vraska-Dragalge
Ishkana - Ariados
Nezahal - sharpedo

Issue is I don't use many pokemon hehe

[severe pier]

About to do 2nd reward match of the same night

[worn cobalt]

I also nicknamed a Chandelure Chandra!

[proven quail]

I always name mine Chandra after my very first Shiny I ever hatched. I transferred her from White all the way to Moon...then lose the game during a move I almost stopped playing Pokemon cause I lost my partner pokemon

[worn cobalt]

Well, if you need any help shiny hunting, let me know!

[proven quail]

I appreciate that. I heard shiny hunting is easier in the DLC

[worn cobalt]

I have 293 of 344 mons in my living dex shiny (85%), and I also have 39 additional shiny forms and two shiny Tepig to eventually insert in the 344 living shiny dex.

[proven quail]

That's awesome:D I spent a lot of time making a team for while I am interning at the Rust Syndicate

[worn cobalt]

These are my extra shinies, though some might not be for trade, idk.

These mons are all Shalphas.

[worn cobalt]

Minor spoiler for the dlc, but ||you can unlock character costumes in the dlc, like Corbeau's outfit||.

[worn cobalt]

But people should let me know if they want anything.

[proven quail]

Sadly non of the 3 female characters I love outfit

[worn cobalt]

Who's the third? I'm guessing ||Lebanne, Lida, and... Emma||?

[noble ice]

I got some new shiny Pokémon two if you’re interested in them

[worn cobalt]

Let me see if I have both hippopotas I need

[worn cobalt]

Can I trade for the male Hippopotas?

[proven quail]

||Griselle Gwynn and Lebanne||

[noble ice]

Is that Shalpha scyther available?

[proven quail]

I may be more open to trades when I beat the main game ^~^ thank you though

[worn cobalt]

Ah. Well, ||Grisham's outfit and Griselle's are basically the same, and you get Grisham's||.

[proven quail]

||but you don't get her hair||

[worn cobalt]

Hmmm... You know, I'll allow it.

[noble ice]

Sweet

[worn cobalt]

True. Didn't think of that.

[noble ice]

Just send me the code whenever you’re ready

[worn cobalt]

11445577

[proven quail]

Hehe but this sick bee need to crawl into bed for now

[worn cobalt]

Good night!

[noble ice]

Nice

Now back to trying to trade for Charcadet armor

[worn cobalt]

Why didn't you tell me that? What armor you need?

[noble ice]

2 Auspicious and 1 Malicious

[worn cobalt]

Sounds good. I can do that. I'll send some random bonus shinies with those to you. imma rid myself of my excess somehow.

[noble ice]

Ok

[worn cobalt]

Same code?

[noble ice]

I nicknamed some of my bonus shiny Pokémon and tried to trade them with some guy

[noble ice]

Yes, same code

[worn cobalt]

You having trouble? I am not connecting for some reason.

[noble ice]

Oh shoot, I didn’t know you’re ready

My bad

[worn cobalt]

Did it crash on you?

[noble ice]

Yeah, it says communicating please standby

I’m going in again

Thank you that saves me so much time

[worn cobalt]

No problem!

HOLY SHIT IT'S A GIF LMFAO

I was not expecting that

[severe pier]

Kinda feel bad for Taunie

Just steamrolled her with my team of lv 100s 😭

[indigo mango]

this game lets you atleast troll your Rival with it

like you can pick an option where you say you are stronger then her and in response she wont even talk and just stare at you, or Naveen later on ignoring Taunie when mentioning the strong trainers

[severe pier]

Just finished Z-A's story

Should I use Floette or nah?

[indigo mango]

lul or the scene where Litwick teleports into the air, notices that its in the air and then falls to the ground. very old time cartoon coded

[indigo mango]

like a normal one or?

[runic peak]

i was like NOOOO LITWICK DIED

[indigo mango]

probably best to evolve it

[severe pier]

||AZ||

[indigo mango]

Eternal

[severe pier]

Yeah

[indigo mango]

i dunno, i count that as legendary and i dont like using those on my team

but i did get it, even if it took me weeks

[severe pier]

I got Mewtwo ans Zygarde on my team lol so I might ditch Mawile, but also i really dont want to train another Pokemon to lv 100

[indigo mango]

well the DLC gives you plenty candies not to mention you can litterly just buy exp candies

[severe pier]

yeah

this is true

[indigo mango]

before the dlc i just always bought them via the shards which are super fast to farm

my current team is Emboar, Staraptor, Golisopod, Crabomable, Pangoro and Chandelure

[severe pier]

Waiting for home support so I can free my Shiny Staraptor from Arceus

[indigo mango]

3 of which where from my og team. Emboar, Pangoro i had sicne the very start and Chandelure i got later

so uhh how does one get the mythicals in the dlc?

do you gotta finish the postgame or are they in just random portals

like Magearne and Volcanion seem to be missions themselves so they are probably gotten via online gifts but myths like Meloetta i know are in hyper space...so uhh how do they show up

[worn cobalt]

Magearna and volcanion are post dlc game missions, available once you meet conditions. Meloetta and keldeo are random portals post dlc game.

[severe pier]

Shiny Magikarp!!

mine now

[severe pier]

485/1000 battles

I might just start doing the dlc content to get me my shiny charm

[severe pier]

500/1000 battles done

[worn cobalt]

Going for consummate gamer title now.

[ivory veldt]

[worn cobalt]

Dang it. This title is hard.

[charred sage]

well that just... happened

good lorde I think this is the latest you get the eviolite in a pokemon game that it's available in

[quiet frost]

are you KIDDING??? my first shiny was fucking MEDITITE??? THE EVOLUTION LINE I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE?????

meanwhile, my brother got a shiny magikarp like 20 minutes into the game. and just today got a shiny fletchling.

[viscid adder]

Typical strat in Pokemon ZA:
I'm at that (move 1), I'm at that (move 2)
I'm at that comination (move 1) and (move 2)
to the tune of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8qvo7CfEf0

[quiet frost]

im at the solar beam, im at the dazzling gleam. im at the combination solar beam and dazzling gleam

[viscid adder]

I'm at that Dazzling Gleam, I'm at that Psyshock
I'm at the combination Dazzling Gleam and Psyshock

[quiet frost]

my meganium has served me well thus far i will never ditch him. his name is Rose, he is my son

[viscid adder]

Mine's name is Tyler, because my player name is Bonnie

And his version of that was I'm at that Leaf Blade, I'm at that Razor Leaf
I'm at the Combination Leaf Blade and Razor Leaf

[quiet frost]

my team is going well. we got Ivy the scolipede, Pele the camerupt, Sister the slowbro, Rogue the absol, and Razzy the ampharos

i have two boxes of mons i can substitute if needed

[viscid adder]

At the moment, along with Tyler, I got Smaug the Charizard, Bugs the Diggersby, Shaun the Ampharos, Bruce the Sharpedo, and Aurora the Gardevoir

[quiet frost]

examples include Isa the clefable, Mollie the wartortle (soon to be blastoise), Jessie the buneary (i haven't trained him up yet), Hestia the delphox, and Zeus the alpha raichu

oh also Pele is an alpha. my big girl she's done me well

Razzy is also the free shiny you get

[astral dirge]

Mines name is Clyde ☺️

[ivory veldt]

I've never been happier this is Bane and Miasma

[ocean vapor]

Awhhh cute bebess

[finite totem]

For those that do how tf do you shiny hunt in an emulator

[ocean vapor]

Like... In za?

[finite totem]

Yeah

[ocean vapor]

Well, if it's a LEGALLY obtained copy of the game.. It's the same, just find a pokemon in the overworld and run back and forth to unrender and rerender the pokemon- causing it to reroll

Unless you're in a wild zone, which then you have to teleport away and back again to reroll

[finite totem]

So I don't have to quit the game

Thanks

Because reloading the game takes really long

[severe pier]

Currently at research level 48, almost at 49, and am at 537/1000 battles won

[severe pier]

[ocean vapor]

My brother in Christ start the doc 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏😭5

[severe pier]

i'm so close

I can feel it

i'm at 558/1000

screw this, i'll just cave in and do the dlc

[opaque osprey]

This is what Mega Darkrai should have been

[lime void]

Mega Starmie was bad enough, we don’t need another mega that just gets longer legs

[ocean vapor]

The eyeball was weird tho it doesn't even look like a pokemon anymore

[lime void]

Better a weird design than a shitty one

[light egret]

So uh might need fashion ideas I picked the male protagonist so ^^

[storm bone]

there's nothing stopping you from wearing dress even as the male protagonist

[ocean vapor]

Yeah my character is a femboy 🥰

[charred sage]

omg freeze in this game is so funny

[ocean vapor]

I want that Lucario so bad but I cannot be fucked shiny hunting any more damn pokemon I'll go insane

Shakes rump

[gray robin]

hey if you can get someone to trade you what i need ill trade for that

[ocean vapor]

Oohh hoh good idea

Opens shiny boxx

[ocean vapor]

Gimmie a tynamo for sumn in here :D

Also wanting an shalpha male fennekin 👍🥰

[charred sage]

...oh

well that sidequest was hilariously awkward

[ocean vapor]

Which one?

[charred sage]

"I need you to head into zone 17 to get me a skarmory feather!"

...after I just cleared the zone out for EXP candy

[ocean vapor]

LMAO

[charred sage]

then struggle against the actual skarmory fight because hippo can only hit the thing with Heavy Slam

took a few attempts to clear though, mostly because one of the female pyroars got the 5% alpha roll so there were two of em lol

but yea for anyone who's struggling with zone 17, get yourself an alpha hippowdon rofl

[ocean vapor]

Or gachomp! Just regular garchomp swept every thing xd

[charred sage]

(or any alpha earthquake user yea)

actually does being alpha make EQ's hitbox larger? not sure

[finite totem]

I hated the dex completion and solely because of Skarmory. It has lowest catch rate in the entire game among natural spawn (besides maybe some area 20 alphas)

[charred sage]

yea actually catching the skarmory feels annoying

I'm more worried about fennekin though since the thing despawns so fast from when it notices you

[ocean vapor]

Yeah it's lame

[ocean vapor]

Just stand on the ledge behind it

Supa easy

[finite totem]

(Metang line and legendaries were buffed to have higher catch rate too)

[charred sage]

ah I think I tried that once but it still noticed me

since you have to ladder up to its area and it usually gets the ? marker when I'm climbing

[ocean vapor]

No no no, scare it off then stand on the ledge behind it and wait for it to respawn

[charred sage]

respawn?

[ocean vapor]

Yeah just wait a bit, like 2 mins I think?

Maybe even less

[finite totem]

I think all Pokemon took exactly 1 minute

[charred sage]

ah

I'll try that next time I get to them

[ocean vapor]

Except for alphas, it's 5 for them

[charred sage]

ok thanks for the tip on fennekin

[noble ice]

I’ll take one of those shiny Venipede if you could also help me with some trade evolution Pokémon

[charred sage]

I might also need some trade evos? depends on how much of my dex I have left but I know there's one I wanna trade-evolve at least

[ocean vapor]

Sure thing!

[noble ice]

Well, I’m ready when you are

[ocean vapor]

Venipede for shiny tynamo, yea?

Samesies, lemme connect to online

[noble ice]

👍 you got it

I only have four Pokémon that I need to trade to evolve

[ocean vapor]

Gotcha 👍 code is 44558877

Pats shiny scyther gead

Green

Pleasure doin business!

[noble ice]

Enjoy your shiny Tynamo, I’m gonna enjoy trying to get a shiny Furfrou of all the designs

[ocean vapor]

Little question tho, any shinies of mine interest you for the hawlucha?

[ocean vapor]

Ooo we got the same goal then xD

[noble ice]

To be honest, I kinda have them all already. I was just trying to get rid of some of my Pokémon away.

[ocean vapor]

Oh fair!

[noble ice]

I mean, hey if you want it real quick, I can trade you

[ocean vapor]

Really? That'd be awesome! 🥺

[noble ice]

All right, same code

[ocean vapor]

Yuppers

[noble ice]

Well, I don’t have this Yamask

[ocean vapor]

Tysm ^^

[noble ice]

So at least you’re giving me something back

[ocean vapor]

Oh awesome! :D

[gray robin]

do you still have Hawlucha

[ocean vapor]

Local I have your pokemans

[noble ice]

I just traded it

[ocean vapor]

Holds up tynamo and hawlucha

[gray robin]

let me grab my switch

[ocean vapor]

Oki!

I'll throw in a few free shinies too since I got the hawlucha for freebies and it feels wrong not paying it forward 😭🙏

You can choose what ya want

[gray robin]

0722 0722

[ocean vapor]

Gotcha!

[gray robin]

what other thing do you want

[ocean vapor]

Buneary ^^

Awh it's a girl

Well I can always trade it for a male later

What extra do u want?

[gray robin]

what do you got

[gray robin]

wimpod

[ocean vapor]

Sure thang

Silly girl bug

[gray robin]

tysm

[noble ice]

Two down eight more to go

[ocean vapor]

Np!

[gray robin]

now grinding time

[ocean vapor]

If anyone has a shiny male buneary or a shiny male fennekin (bonus points if they're alphas but not a requirement) gimmie a holler I need em for ma team

[noble ice]

Mega Pokémon that I feel like that could’ve been a bit more better.

This is it, the last mega Pokémon that I think is the worst of them all.

and that trophy goes to…

||Mega Starmie||

||seriously, who the heck just watched the SpongeBob movie and saw that one scene where Patrick was dancing and then they were like Yep, that’s mega Starmie right there.||

||In the Pokédex, it says that it’s supposed to be an alien from space, so I was expecting them to make a little more alien like.||

||Like this!!!||

||the only thing I like about this mega is I think it’s funny of how Mega Starmie runs, but that’s only love It’s getting for me.||

Well, that’s all the Megas I have right now and maybe I will be making a list of bad Megas in the DLC. I’ve seen a few so far and I’ve only seen like one that I hated so it’s probably gonna be a smallest.

[robust wren]

||oh wow, look at that. It was possible to make a Mega Starmie with elongated limbs that has actual effort put into the design, and it can still have personality to it. Imagine that.||

[charred sage]

||sarcasm with a primary flavor of bitterness the popular flavor of the... time period?||

also I think I'm down to just trade evos at this point, aromatisse/slurpuff/slowking/scizor still left (alongside a pumpkaboo and another slurpuff since I found a shiny while doing sidequests)

[frank lily]

Apparently it's design is based off of Ultraman and could be inspired by the Aliens from the 1956 film 'Warning from Space' or the Starmen from Earthbound

[frank lily]

^^^

[robust wren]

Concept is one thing, execution is another. Some of the worst character designs have amazing concepts behind them, this included

[frank lily]

it's more popular in Japan I think

I honestly don't care much. I am neutral towards most of the megas and only like some more if they are megas of Pokemon I like. || Though I will say I love Mega Lucario Y's shiny form a lot more then the regular shiny for Lucario ||

if I didn't already have a Chesnaught on my team I'd go for getting one of those

[charred sage]

"x is more popular in japan" feels like most of the things added in gens 8/9 TBH (and 5-7 to a lesser extent)

[frank lily]

from what I read it was targeted more towards fans of certain kinda of Japanese media related to those kind of superhero characters in Japan that western fans probably wouldn't get

also the game originated from Japan and is def big there given all of the Pokemon centers and what not around the place

a lot more events are held in Japan compared to other places so it makes sense if they make some designs targeted towards their highest fanbase area

[charred sage]

that being said I don't have any notable opinions on the megas except for one

||namley that tatsugiri's mega being on a sushi board is a lot funnier for me coming out close to a month after kirby air riders, lil' guy(s?) could almost audition as a guest rider!||

very much not intentional but still a funny coincidence for me

[frank lily]

|| yasss I also like how the different form you catch takes center and it's the same for shinies too ||

[charred sage]

oh right speaking of which uh final mega tally for the maingame was three uses

[frank lily]

all of them required ig

[charred sage]

one for the opening rogue mega fight that's maybe skippable? a second for the one fight before the rank C plot kicks in, and one non-battle use for ||the final cutscene attack|| basically

[frank lily]

imo cutscenes shouldn't count since you had no control/choice

[charred sage]

I can count that as like 2.5, but for an actual battle the rank C one is probably the only time I can think of where it's outright mandatory outside of sidequests

[frank lily]

yeah those sidequests where someone asks to see one of the megas in a battle would def be mandatory

oh on a random note, I got Nintendo online now. family membership for a year. so ig I can help with trade evos. I got my PST time if that helps anyone out (I live in Southern California)

I also bought a different game at the same time so I might be distracted even more from Legends Z-A hahaha

yay for getting distracted

[charred sage]

ooh nice what game

[frank lily]

my mom was def accurate when describing me as having 'SQUIRREL' syndrome

[charred sage]

lol

[frank lily]

Disneys Dreamlight Valley. I am a fan of those little cozy games and Disney/Pixar is a win from me. just got the base game though and not any of the added stuff

[charred sage]

nice nice

[frank lily]

when playing Pokemon games, especially the newer ones, I have grown a habit of playing a lot for a few days, then getting sidetracked by other stuff for a while, before suddenly going on and somehow playing through a large portion of the game

with Scarlet I ended up making a second game that I ended up completing all Dexes on

[unborn elm]

It’s so bad that it’s actually good

Lowkey reading what I just sent and I’m seeing 2 ways that it’s gonna be interpreted

Or I think

I don’t know

[robust wren]

Aside from hating Mega Starmie and the many Megas I really like, the only really strong opinion I have on them is that ||Mega Darkrai looks incredible... from exactly one angle, otherwise just looking like some weird fish thing||

||Bro is trying so hard to look like the Devil's Machine showing Ness's face, only to look like this||

[tranquil nexus]

So, no bottle caps put out a vid showing off Mr Rime Infestation tech

It goes so goddamn hard

Walk up to other player, who’s probably setting up. Infestation. Switch to closer. Watch them panic. You get first knockout, they get tilted for the rest of the match

[indigo mango]

well its a floating eyeball, the body and legs are now nerves, think like the eyes from Terraria

only thing i would change about it is make the red iris ALWAYS part of the mega, it only being an attack animation is meh, its face just pocking out looks strange

[robust wren]

But it only looks like an eye from exactly one angle. Again, concept vs execution. The execution is not very good.

[indigo mango]

only cause of the head

if the iris was always there it would be a flaoting eyeball

its body and legs become nerves

it looks like a floating eyeball from the side aswell..only issue is the head

i can agree its def too long but i can see it still..the issue is really the head

its just a fat sideways guy

the head ruins the whole thing for me

[runic peak]

||the problem with that is at that point it would just not look like darkrai at all ||

[indigo mango]

its body is still there

and easy fix, just swap it

make the head popping out the attack animation

and the red iris the standart

[runic peak]

ohhh i see

that's actually better

Tbh while I see the issues with it I still really like mega darkrai

[indigo mango]

ye its a fun guy

[runic peak]

It's very different from other megas with how drastic the changes are but it fits the nightmare pokemon

[noble ice]

I’ve updated my shiny box a little bit if anybody wants any of them.

[charred sage]

||late but mega darkrai is strange for me? because I feel like the head only works when looking at it from the pure side angle but straight-on the head just ruins what looks like a fantastic Kirby Boss lol||

||I can get what they're going at but it feels like something that works better in motion than just as static images so I'll see how it looks in-game to fully judge it||

[forest egret]

I kinda like it because it's just sorta gross looking

[severe pier]

[robust wren]

||As much as I make fun of Gamefreak for how unbalanced the games can be, I am pretty glad they had the restraint to not give Megas to Xerneas and Yveltal. Granted, Xerneas wouldn't get anything it wants out of a Mega that a Power Herb doesn't give it already, but a more resilient Mega Yveltal is a scary thought.||

[ocean vapor]

Idk I feel like they kinda deserve some love too, just lock them from competitive

[ocean vapor]

Is that buneary male? :3

[noble ice]

Unfortunately, yes

[ocean vapor]

I have a female one! Wanna trade?

I just gotta feed my dogs but then I can get on

[noble ice]

Sure, why not

[ocean vapor]

YippiEE

8120 8120 :3

[noble ice]

Hang on I’m in a freaking cut scene

[ocean vapor]

xD no worries take your time

[noble ice]

You have no idea how much I’m smashing the A button right now

FINALLY!!!!

[ocean vapor]

BWAHA

Me with all the cutscenes anyway bc they do so much YAPPING

Now I'm only missing my shiny male fennekin YAHOOO

[noble ice]

Enjoy the buneary, to be honest, I already have a shiny alpha female Lopunny.

[ocean vapor]

Oo I want an alpha too but I'll settle for this Bebe for now

[noble ice]

I was just trying to get rid of that buneary out of my shiny box

[ocean vapor]

Oh quick question do you have an alpha mankey? Not shiny

That you don't need?

[noble ice]

No, I don’t have an alpha Mankey

[ocean vapor]

Ahh oki

[ivory veldt]

Behold

An XS Swampert

[ocean vapor]

Awh he so smol

[polar hatch]

I love it 👍

[ivory veldt]

Shiny Golurk looked bad in the ambient lighting so I went inside my favorite place to take a picture and lemme tell y'all

I am fucking feral over the ||Mega||

[polar hatch]

Same colours 🤩

[unborn pewter]

WHOA you're dripped out

[noble ice]

Anybody wants any last-minute trades before I go to bed?

[ocean vapor]

hide that shiny torchic from lance

[somber galleon]

Question anyone got a shiny baby tyranitar (can't spell it name) alpha? Maybe with sp atk?

[severe pier]

no luck on my current Shiny Delibird hunt, however I have gotten another shiny magikarp and a shiny snorunt

[ocean vapor]

Shiny snorunt? Male or female? 🥺

[severe pier]

female

[ocean vapor]

Ooo

Would you be interested in any of my ugly kids?

Wimpod is gone alr

[severe pier]

i love my weird looking dog

[frank lily]

water puppy

[somber galleon]

Any shiny alpha larvitar

[finite totem]

Shinies so far

• a machamp

[ocean vapor]

Slayy!

[finite totem]

Should I use any of these with my balanced team of 4 fighting types?

[ocean vapor]

I think so yeah... Ampharos is useful

[charred sage]

ok so question

thinking of getting the dlc, should I move to complete the dex now or do so once I'm done with that

since I only have trade evos left at this point

[somber galleon]

Well i say complete it but it not important I can help with trade evos when im in just need to catch 5 more to send

[finite totem]

||Well I didnt knew Justice Dojo outfit would make me more lean||

[charred sage]

I won't be home for another... 5 and a half hours though but thanks for the offer

[somber galleon]

So 9/10pm for me

[ocean vapor]

Buff baby lookin

[finite totem]

there is a reason to not rush dialogues

some nrandom npc has ability to make you rewatch entire credits unskippable

[somber galleon]

I know it a long shot but any shiny alpha larvitar?

[charred sage]

I do not sadly

[robust wren]

||With all the Mythical Pokémon that got Megas in the DLC, I'm genuinely surprised Mew wasn't one of them. It's one of the most iconic Pokémon in the series, do they really think that the one Z move that nobody used on it was enough stuff for it?||

[ocean vapor]

||I think its mainly lore reasons- it has the genetic makeup of all pokemon, and cannot be replicated. Also how would you mega evolve a fetus? Like designing that would be a nightmare||

||couple that with the fact that it knows transform, they'd need to figure out how to either keep players from transforming mew (which is like the biggest draw for new really) or how to incorporate it into the mega (which would be a LOT of fucking work if hey decide to do something unique for every mon it can copy, even if he change is minimal)||

[finite totem]

crimes of az is nothing when this is a thing

[ocean vapor]

Ikr

Taunie is a war criminal bc of that

[robust wren]

You just know that nondescript pastry wheel is getting soggy as hell and will probably split in two within a few seconds

[storm bone]

the donut is salty

like the donut was made specifically to acommpany the cury

the croissants are not

therefore we should execute taunie/urbain and spare ansha

[charred sage]

if we let Taubain keep going they'll probably suggest frying the entire pile

[finite totem]

I would execute Urbnie even if it didn't
Fail to control Ange
Not make horrible food
Got me in debt
Yeah what other bad stuff they had?

[charred sage]

that being said I did laugh hard at the sammich showing up after the first curry attempt

[ocean vapor]

Just selfish in general 😭🙏

They do nice acts but it's just to make themselves feel better no doubt

GOD I HATE TAUBAINE

[finite totem]

And ruining every scene supposed to be dramatic

[ocean vapor]

Fr

[finite totem]

Bottom 1 Pokemon rival and I am saying this with that one abomination from Let's Go games existing.

[ocean vapor]

Fr

Well ok for me, Hop was worse

He was so fucking obnoxious, but in a different way

[robust wren]

Hop was a carbon copy of Hau, down to sharing the animations

[viral pollen]

I forget they’re different characters lol

[robust wren]

They don't even look that distinct from each other

If someone wants to point towards how nondistinct Pokémon rivals are nowadays they can just put them side to side lol

[viral pollen]

Shaggy blue-haired brit and shaggy blue-haired hawaiian

[jade ocean]

Isn't Hau's hair green

[viral pollen]

Oh wait ur right lol im dumb

[ocean vapor]

Yeah was abt to say

[viral pollen]

I remembered his hair as blue idk why.

[ocean vapor]

And the only similarity is the high energy

Hau was a foodie

And didn't gaf abt anything he was straight chillin but in an annoying way

Hop was like "BUT IF I'M NOT GOOD THEN PEOPLE WILL THINK MY BIG BROTHER BAD :("

Which like

Dude

Hes the champion

[robust wren]

Haus entire arc is all about being compared to his family too, just this time it's his grandad

[jade ocean]

Hop might have some "mild" insecurities

Just a little

[viral pollen]

Yeah he had an existential crisis every time he battled me lol

[robust wren]

Has Hop brought up how you seem to understand type matchups yet? Cause I feel like he needs to do that yet.

[ocean vapor]

Dude it pisses me off so bad when they do that every battle

[viral pollen]

That one main kid in the Scarlet/Violet DLC reminds me of Hop too

[ocean vapor]

And fair, but it wasn't as bad as Hop's fucking mental breakdown and recovery in like 2 hours

[ocean vapor]

Kieran? They did him so fucking dirty

Valid crashout

[viral pollen]

Idk him and his sister were just unhinged from the start

[ocean vapor]

I wanted to let him have ogerpon bc I actually liked Kieran and thought he was kinda baby

His sister is unhinged yeah

Kieran was just shy

[robust wren]

Kierans crashout was valid until he started stealing Ogerpons mask and getting possessive of her
