I'd like the ceru though to get eggs of it and I can trade that back after I get 1 egg

[gray oyster]

a good number of mine are in it too

that and premier lol

[calm forge]

[gray oyster]

when it lights up like this does it mean you don't have tha t?

[calm forge]

[calm forge]

[gray oyster]

ye

what else do you need ? exclusives ?

[calm forge]

ez dex fill

cause I do if you want it to register

[gray oyster]

[gray oyster]

and then trade back

[calm forge]

I need to find roaring moon and slitherwing

[calm forge]

I got slowking, need to actually go back and catch that korai

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

I'll go and catch the other paradoxes tonight to trade tomorrow after this

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

I got skrelp line

[gray oyster]

O_o wtf is this thing

[calm forge]

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

i can get pupi/tyrani ez tho

and the 4 chinese ones

[calm forge]

gonna get the last 4 later

[gray oyster]

working on the 4 chinese legendaries now skipping history class and using google like any student would

unless

[waxen zodiac]

I didn’t do any classes so I was just roaming around looking for stakes

[gray oyster]

yeah the classes tell you exactly where they all are but

so does google

[calm forge]

I got all the paradoxes in scarlet now

[gray oyster]

nice

[gray oyster]

i was going to do the chinese legendaries but it seems i need to pay attention to other things for the time being

[gray oyster]

https://youtu.be/e5HOomg-f1c lowkey this is a banger

its just the theme no spoilers

[waxen zodiac]

my favorite tracks

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

[gray oyster]

ok chiyu is the most annoying one so far

WHY WOULD THEY PUT IT IN A TINY CAVE WITH A THOUSAND SPAWNS

[gray oyster]

ok got all 4 of the shrine pokes

fun looking lil dudes

[waxen zodiac]

||lil fish|| and ||ice sabertooth|| my favs, my friend likes the ||snail||

[gray oyster]

yeah i like em all

i might use em in raids a few times

the -def and -spdef might come super clutch

since they can't be reset

[gray oyster]

[soft monolith]

lets goooo

i was heavy procrastinating today, wanted to play in the morning, now its 9pm and still havent played

[gray oyster]

ill share the video here

but there's a lot of trainer codes u can use

to trade exclusives

i wish i knew about this like.. 3 days ago

https://youtu.be/iqeuYcwF1xU

[soft monolith]

i knew about this 3 days ago

but forgot to post it here

[leaden lava]

now just wait for the dlc

[gray oyster]

nah its shiny time

azumarill first

if i get a surplus of eevees do you want one for a slightly darker leafeon joey

[leaden lava]

id make a sylveon

[gray oyster]

we'll see

azumarill might take a hot minute

[leaden lava]

why do u want an azumarill

[gray oyster]

golden egg

punch hard

golden egg is gunna carry charizard

but that's if i can get it ready in time

[leaden lava]

is it? i saw a reddit post about bringing a sap sipper azu to the raid and a lot of people talked about what a bad idea it was

[gray oyster]

sap sipper O_o

huge power all the way wat

[leaden lava]

they think itll have solar beam

[gray oyster]

O_o

hmm

i think something like tera blast would be more expected than solar beam

[leaden lava]

man i hope im ready in time

im still so far

[gray oyster]

Wya

If you want a cheapo way of leveling just spam the Eevee raids in the tera raids poke portal since they're super easy and have higher than average rewards

As far as story you just gotta muscle through it tho

[leaden lava]

wait

wait

the eevee event is now??

[gray oyster]

Yss

Yes

Every single type

[leaden lava]

fuck

[gray oyster]

I have an entire box full lol

[leaden lava]

how strong do i need to be

[gray oyster]

Uhh did u beat the e4

[leaden lava]

no

bro i have 2 badges

[gray oyster]

Highest u can get is 4stars

Uhh

That's probably like 3 stars which is a level 35

[leaden lava]

gym badges

[gray oyster]

I'll see if mine respawn tonight if they do I'll bring y on some and sweep em for u

I cleared em all alr tho lol

[leaden lava]

guess its time to but a subscription

wonder if that trial is still available

[gray oyster]

Cheaper than FFXIV :p

[leaden lava]

havent had that since june

[gray oyster]

It's like 20 for a whole year

Nintendo online not that bad I don't think

[leaden lava]

if you use it its good

i had it like all of 2021 and never did

[gray oyster]

Well for the time being you have a reason to lol

Pokemans popular

[waxen zodiac]

I’ve been buying one month at a time and play for that month

It’s probably cheaper to just buy the year and not worry about it

[soft monolith]

my cousin has been paying for the family version with all the old console things included, so im gucci hehe

[shy lava]

5 star .. i have gotten 5 star event ones

[leaden lava]

yeah but you might be further than me

[gray oyster]

5 stars start when u beat the e4

if he only has 2 badges the highest hes gunna get is 3

idk when it transitions to 4 stars starting though

the chart on serebii just has empty boxes

i love candy

[calm forge]

ok kingambit is amazing

[gray oyster]

supreme overlord?

[calm forge]

ye

[gray oyster]

constantly having regret everytime i dump candy into a lv100

made this boi

heard hes gunna be pretty insane in raids and battles so maybe i just gotta get a move set and evs worked out

[leaden lava]

[gray oyster]

[leaden lava]

just keep catching tinkatinks

trying to find a good one to raise

[gray oyster]

as in like ivs?

[leaden lava]

nature

[gray oyster]

you can just change it later w/ mint

[leaden lava]

it seems to have a higher sp.def and speed base stat

followed by atk

so im not sure what look for, so im just catching them all

[gray oyster]

these change the stats according to the nature behind the mint so you dont really need to worry about it tbh

if you want to though, thats fine

[leaden lava]

where can i get those

[gray oyster]

i think they unlock around ghost gym time so 5-7 badges?

[leaden lava]

💀

[gray oyster]

theyre 20k ea or, like me, just get them abundantly through raids

[leaden lava]

alright just gonna go challenge the 3rd gym then

lord help me

im never prepared for electric gyms

[gray oyster]

yeah ill say they did a really good job with the gym teams this time around

but the AI sucks and doesn't make it difficult

and its too easy to overlevel the gyms and spank em around

without spoiling anything, the champions team is so sick but the ai is garbage and you're probably overleveled if you've been keeping up with the other two stories

the team could've been worse than cynthia battle but fell short

[calm forge]

Finished the dex and now have 23 beastballs

[gray oyster]

duper

[calm forge]

Eh mostly using them cause they look good for shinies, not like I'm flooding the trade market

[gray oyster]

there's so many duped ability patches

in the sv trading cord

[calm forge]

Really? That's the one thing I can't dupe lol

Well I can only really do the pokeballs

[gray oyster]

yeah everyone wants purrzerker though so the price is staying the same

or the popularity is meeting supply i suppose

since there's no real "price"

[calm forge]

Don't think it's a problem unless flooding the market. Like if using it for friends and solo game.

[gray oyster]

ye i was onlyjoking

[calm forge]

I just want beast + friend pokeballs cause they look cool

[gray oyster]

game freak has always had dupe issues anyway

i was gunna do masterballs but theres.. nothing left for me to do with them anyway so

[calm forge]

Plus I can sell them to get more luxury to waste

[gray oyster]

atm im just using the last of my sandwich to get a shiny ||ttar||

i only wanted shiny ||hands||

[calm forge]

I want Shiny Roaring Moon, that's first priority.

[gray oyster]

that one is hard bc the sandwich increases the rate of everything in that cave

vs my current one which is like unopposed

[calm forge]

Also that Shiny Future Gallade thing would be dope.

I got my shiny list I'll hunt and probably go casual after

Shiny Toedscruel is dope

[gray oyster]

lol i hate that thing

looks so weird

[calm forge]

The shinies I hate the most are the minor color change ones

[gray oyster]

joey dont click

the bottom one is gunna be my hp+spA one for raids, the top one is my spA speed one for battles and Iron hands is going to be my new raid cleaner

since there's a hp atk build that sets his hp over 500 and highest atk in the game so

belly drum drain punch ez

[leaden lava]

[gray oyster]

its spoilers, you can look if you want but its like.. end end of the game spoilers lol

[leaden lava]

its just some pokemon

no worries

[gray oyster]

so you just care about the story not really the pokemon? o_O

[leaden lava]

yeah

[gray oyster]

ic

[leaden lava]

besides i know you get that pokemon lol

[gray oyster]

hes tied pretty close to the story so i didnt know where on the line you drew lol

[leaden lava]

itd be kinda bonkers to have a cover legendary that you could only use as a bike

[gray oyster]

true

realizing a little too late that most of these raid pokes want hp + atk/spa instead of atk/spa and speed

now i gotta get copies of maxed out pokemans :(

[gray oyster]

i love when im doing a raid and the AI decide they wanna deal damage when im setting up a one shot and the raid mon activates their stupid shield

[gray oyster]

5* blissey raids are something fucking else

jeez

[leaden lava]

omg

is ditto only in raids

i need dittos

so i found a low level dreepy pretty early on

and i jsut realized the lil shit doesnt evolve til 50

😐

[gray oyster]

nah ditto is out in the wild w/ zorua too

the ones in raids have Star-1 perfect IVs though

so for example this one will have 4 perfect IVs

[leaden lava]

yuh

got a ditto from a raid

[gray oyster]

not the worst i wish the sDef was satk but

i can still use this

[gray oyster]

ah i goofed up

i misunderstood how the tm mechanic works

i was under the impression you traded LP for materials

then bought the tms

but you trade materials for LP

and you have to grind the materials

i sold every tm i had for like 800k lol

[leaden lava]

💀

[gray oyster]

starting to get real annoyed with eiscue raids

the snow face substitute ruins my 1 shot strats

[soft monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDTe-QFKw5g this is an insane edit, its made from a 16 chapter fanmade manga

[calm forge]

these 5 stars are killing me

I want to start acquiring herba mysticas

[leaden lava]

oh damn theyre actually hard?

[calm forge]

can be

[gray oyster]

I meme on them with a few mons I have built up so they're not too tough

Hardest one I've had is a fairy blissey and a poison ditto

[silk sundial]

Is that dolphin pokemon lit??

Final evo one

||Water/fighting|| right??

[calm forge]

yeah

|| Superman Dolphin ||

[gray oyster]

It's already borderline banned in competitive

[silk sundial]

Bruh

[gray oyster]

So ye it's good lol

|| u basically water version of U-turn, send it in after a mon dies or whatever and send it back in for a 640 base stat insane poke ||

Lol

[silk sundial]

Oh shit

https://tenor.com/view/bleach-gerard-valkyrie-sternritter-gif-9291325

Gives off this vibe for me

Probably name it after him or give him "Kiseke"

[gray oyster]

Lmao ye

[strong cape]

i know there are vehicles, but can you ride them with friends in co op? my switch arrives in a couple days and my game comes in like a week and a half

[waxen zodiac]

you can ride around separately in co-op they're like bikes, those cars from the trailer aren't vehicles you can ride

[gray oyster]

nearly 2 boxes of eggs ready to go

has to be shiny time

[soft monolith]

Yesterday i tried to trade with the trading codes, and only got people who also wanted to give me fuecoco

[gray oyster]

ahaha unlucky probably

make sure you check out the name in the top left to make sure you're not just tradin the same person over and over

i found the same dude 3 times in a row waited a few minutes and then i got it

[soft monolith]

i was swapping between the sprigatitto and the quaxly codes, so it def wasnt the same person

or he just did the same

[gray oyster]

also my brain worked finally

[soft monolith]

why that?

[gray oyster]

you can do this

and move things a lot faster

[soft monolith]

u just realised that

[gray oyster]

well i kne i could do it for like

boxes

i didnt know it worked for party too

[soft monolith]

ahh

[final plank]

started my violet save yday

lechonk >> rest

[leaden lava]

Wait til you see the little fairy gremlin with the hammer

[final plank]

does anyone want to do an eevee raid?

[calm forge]

I do

what's the type?

[final plank]

too late snoop but it was rock

[calm forge]

ah gotcha

caught Roaring Moon shiny

[final plank]

not rock dark

oh wow nice

[calm forge]

shiny charm and encounter 2 is pretty good

I just want to get herba mysticas, but getting unlucky in 5 stars

[calm forge]

completed first 6 star and it wasnt that bad

[calm forge]

anyone willing to help out a dragon 6 star?

[misty ledge]

all the ultrabeasts i got today

[calm forge]

[silk sundial]

Buzzwole is so lit

https://tenor.com/view/buzzwole-poses-gif-7645556

[strong cape]

[silk sundial]

as should be

Released in gen 7, SM, USUM

Ultra Beasts

[strong cape]

cant believe they made a pokemon after me

[misty ledge]

pheremosa, xurkitree, and necrozma dusk mane form best ubs

[silk sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-gif-24653659

[calm forge]

cant believe they made a pokemon after me

[gray oyster]

Lol

Surprised you didn't claim the daushound yet

[silk sundial]

My Spirit animal when Im on Sicko Mode

[calm forge]

trying to masuda method a shiny fungus boi

harder than I realized

[gray oyster]

I'm like 300 something azurill without a greenboi

[calm forge]

I'm just gonna roll outbreaks until I get a toedscool one

[wet halo]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-ludicolo-gif-5920381

this me

[leaden lava]

[wet halo]

what's up joey

[calm forge]

caught a shiny wooper

[misty ledge]

https://youtu.be/f67WbPVPIWc
sweet

no embed

[gray oyster]

ooh

im happy pokemongo is still a thing and didnt die entirely

[gray oyster]

my raid team

kinda whelmed about ceruledge tbh

hes uhh iffy

i need something that really slaps the shit out of ghosts and poison and ironhands/azu can't finish the job fast enough

ceru was a good call but i set up 3 swords dances and can only do like 2/5 dmg in one hit

might just try to change the evs on azu and cope with the hp loss

[shy lava]

chomp

[neon bronze]

Post game time

Then hopefully will be able to build a poke in time for the charizard raids

[waxen zodiac]

I was surprised how useful armarogue was even though its design is worse

oh idk about in raids but for story

[gray oyster]

yeah for story i mean bitter blade would be epic

i just need something that's really good vs ghost and posion

since those are the two things ironhands and azumarill stuggle vs

[waxen zodiac]

Salazzle probably fills that role

[gray oyster]

Ideally it's something that boosts itself really fast (sword dance or belly drum or nasty plot)

Maybe

[calm forge]

I've just been getting unlucky with getting herba mysticas

done around 28 5 star raids and only 1

[leaden lava]

the drop rate is only a few percent

[calm forge]

you can up it to around 24% per 5 star

[leaden lava]

dang

you use all your luck on shinies i guess

[silk sundial]

Metal or Future Hariyama gives off a Megaman vibe

[calm forge]

bro that's the charcadet evos for me

[turbid girder]

toby fox oppa truly outdid himself

[shy lava]

wake up babe its tinkaton posting time

[gray oyster]

I don't have issues with herba mystica but you're gunna have to use it sparingly

I think I've gotten maybe a total of 16 but across the various types

You also have to do the right raids too since there only like 20 that give it to begin with

[gray oyster]

LETS GOOO

[strong cape]

gonna be playing mario kart for like a week

[gray oyster]

And I'm assuming you alr do this Snoopy but get 60 kills before making the sandwich and then save so you can reset if u don't get lucky and virtually have an infinite sandwich

[calm forge]

not sandwich 60 kills then save?

[silk sundial]

lucky, im debating whether to get a switch this weekend

Happy for you either way

[strong cape]

get em while the black friday / cyber monday sales still exist lol

[silk sundial]

Its a resell of the SV edition switch lolol

$400

[strong cape]

i got switch + mario kart + 3 months online service for $300

[silk sundial]

Oh fr fr???

Thats a W

[strong cape]

it's still up lol

[gray oyster]

You get more time with the max boost iirc

Obviously 60 kills doesn't take that much time but

I could be wrong

[silk sundial]

as tempted as I am, Im gonna go for the scarlet and violet edition

Oh yeah, whose played S/G/C on the Virtual Console on the 2ds/3ds?

How do you trade in that

[leaden lava]

if you eat the sandwich, save, and reset dont you lose your bonuses? im pretty sure i saw that in a video

[gray oyster]

I never got the chance to test because I got my iron hands within the first 30min

I just assumed save with buff and reset with buff like every other game

Maybe I shouldn't assume being that I haven't played a pokemon game since emerald

Idk

[shy lava]

naming my tinkaton breakfast!

[leaden lava]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw4hogV41JY

[calm forge]

been trying to catch another roaring moon for hours with a perfect shiny sandwich

[leaden lava]

Jeez no luck?

Austin John makes this look so easy.

[calm forge]

Absolutely no luck

Gonna try again tomorrow cause someone will trade me a shiny Iron Valiant for it

[gray oyster]

Honestly this is neat but as I've argued with Damien so much, everything is buyable and customized so cheap so the whole breeding for ivs is kinda dead

Breeding for shinies is epic tho

I know you're not exactly like super far so what I say now is gunna seem crazy but

It's only around 650k to get a perfect pokemon

max ev max iv

And even cheaper if you train ev the old way, since random battles aren't a thing you can do that reletively fast on a budget

Also he said teaming up online is the better way when everyone online stinks

[calm forge]

well while on quest to get 2nd shiny Roaring Moon I got 3 Shiny Zweilous and 1 Shiny Greavard in 30 mins

[leaden lava]

hot damn

thats some bad good luck

[final plank]

pokefriends

who wants to add me on switch

I've got some added from ages ago but idr who

[calm forge]

Sure

[final plank]

SW 1747 8627 2781

so disappointed flamigo doesn't evolve

I thought we'd moved on from single stage evolutions

[leaden lava]

oh i thought it maybe evolved into that terrifying emu thingy

that’s disappointing to hear

[waxen zodiac]

its crazy that klawf is single stage too

[final plank]

had it in my team expecting it to do something at around level 25 and when it didn't I googled it and it doesn't evolve

[neon bronze]

Time to train that azumarill

Should probably have it ready before the weekend

[neon bronze]

Mind if I add you? Always down for more switch friends

[final plank]

sure thing

[neon bronze]

Thank you, sent the request

[final plank]

charcadet just saved my team from a fucking

car

why was it sweeping so hard

[leaden lava]

without knowing the context that just sounds hilarious

like he dove in front of it for you

[calm forge]

shiny so far

[soft monolith]

i like the woopi and the noivern

[calm forge]

I'm just trying to get shiny Iron Valiant now, at least that's main priority

[waxen zodiac]

the shiny irons look great imo

[calm forge]

yeah, someone said they looked like an unfinished paint job on a car though and I had to laugh lol

[gray oyster]

I can add when I get home, the name is obvious so you'll know it's me lmao

Ceruledge still in the whelming tier for me but I think I just have to cope that some 5 stars are gunna be a bitch no matter what

I should mention that it's only 5 stars, he's great for in general can probably carry the entire game otherwise

[south willow]

Any scarlet players here want to help me finish my Pokedex? Need a water starter/area zero mons/legendary

Also not looking to keep the legendary just need to dex it

[calm forge]

sure

what paradox pokemon do you have

or need

[south willow]

I have all the violet ones need all the scarlet ones

[calm forge]

ok, let me catch the rest for you real quick then

you can keep them btw

[south willow]

💛

[calm forge]

ok got everything for you

[south willow]

Pog

Code me

[calm forge]

let me get out of area zero

1447 7441

[gray oyster]

Scarlet gang coming in clutch

[south willow]

Searching

No one found

[gray oyster]

If you ever need things in the future I pinned a video for trade codes that the community uses btw

Oh wait no I didnt

[calm forge]

try it again

[calm forge]

I'll trade it back dw

[south willow]

Lolol

[calm forge]

here

[south willow]

Ty esp

[gray oyster]

Obviously u can always ask here too it's faster with friends

But that's always an option

People do masuta dittos in that vid too if u ever wanna breed for shiny

[south willow]

Yea was mashing face for a ditto while I was waiting

[calm forge]

btw check the held items on the pokemon you are getting

[gray oyster]

Told myself I'm not breeding for shiny til pokemon home comes out because releasing Pokemon is so annoying one by one

[calm forge]

yeah, narrowed my boxes down to only 2

the only shiny I really want bad is Iron Valiant

[gray oyster]

I have 8 boxes of azurills

[south willow]

Lolol

Ty

[leaden lava]

espe cant you release a bunch at once

like a whole box worth?

[gray oyster]

Nope

[calm forge]

dont you need quaxly?

[gray oyster]

Not til home comes out

You can multi release in home that's it

[south willow]

I forgot we switched the first one

Reloading

Ty for reals this time

[calm forge]

np

enjoy the masterballs too

[south willow]

Oh?

[calm forge]

check the held items on those pokemon

[gray oyster]

Lmao

[south willow]

LOLOL

Those would have been there forever if you didn't say anything

[gray oyster]

Had to throw mine onto a pokemon and put in the box so I didn't accidentally use it

I be spam clicking when throwing balls at raid mons

Boutta catch a random Scyther with a master ball

[south willow]

But the flex

[gray oyster]

Lmao true

[leaden lava]

just buy 100 ultra balls and never run out

[gray oyster]

I have 400 pokeballs

Raids are 100% cr

Smil

[leaden lava]

then how tf would you accidentally throw a master ball 😵‍💫

[gray oyster]

Beaue the game is wonky and resets what I used last sometimes

[leaden lava]

so even 5 star+ raids are 100% cr?

[calm forge]

ys

6 too

[gray oyster]

Everything is 100 cr

5 stars are lv75 and caught at 75, 6 stars are lv 90 but caught at 75

That's all

5* also have 4 perfect ivs

6* have 5 so if u get a 6* ditto u can be set for life

[south willow]

Whooo dex complete

Thank you thank you

[gray oyster]

Grats

Go get your diploma

[leaden lava]

i wonder how competitive players feel about all these changes that make getting competitive pokemon much easier with less effort

[gray oyster]

From what I've seen they love it

[leaden lava]

once upon a time you had to breed for hours to get that perfect monster, now you can literally buy everything you need and make it

[gray oyster]

Bottle caps being 20k is insane

Meds being 10k is also insane

The income from raids is insane

[south willow]

I mean it was like this in sword and shield no?

[leaden lava]

kinda, but sword and shield still had traditional breeding

[gray oyster]

The only annoying thing is tera shards are kind of a pain

[leaden lava]

and bottlecaps were only found with those digging bros

[gray oyster]

I've done a lot of raids

And still missing 50.for some

[leaden lava]

i uh

dont know what those are for

[gray oyster]

U can change ur tera type

Customize

50 of any shard

So like my garchomp has ice tera because I caught it in the wild

If I get 50 dragon I can make it dragon

But you can only get em from raids or on the floor and unless you're duping the floor ones it's kinda difficult to customize an entire party

I need to change my azu to water or fairy tbh

And my garchomp to like dark or something

Or maybe ground idk

Raids are weird to think about because I wanna one shot everything and have to think but certain type match ups ruin me

5 star fairy blissey hurts 5 star poison blissey is near impossible for me

My FIRST TERA RAID SHINY!
I honestly didn't know lol. I thought maybe it was pink because of the tera type and I forgot Hypno's shiny color. There wasn't a sound or animation, but it DID have these little purple and blue stars that I don't think I've seen before.

Cool

Apparently those are locked at 1/4k so that's rare

[south willow]

Oof

[gray oyster]

Even with charm etc

Shiny hypno cool tho

[gray oyster]

said fuck it and bought a pro controller

shits nice

[leaden lava]

Damn

[gray oyster]

yeah i kinda wanted the case but im not not invested in pikachu

and for just twice the price i can get the real deal

oh thats hot

just an FYI for anyone that reads this, the S/V discord is giving away Lv100 Tera Fairy Belly Drum + Play Rough Azumarills ready for the Charizard event

theyre also doing a 6IV foreign ditto giveaway

[leaden lava]

Can you DM me an invite so I don’t forget tomorrow

Plz

[gray oyster]

i can probably make you one if you need one

if you don't win the giveaway

if i had enough candy i could make a ton for everyone but

i got scammed by ceruledge

i actually wont have a need for mine once tim gives me the shiny one he caught actually

super effective 349 spAtk ghost ball vs 5* ghost slowbro

:(

[errant folio]

my fav

[gray oyster]

ability patch !!!

[vivid crane]

dang they just give those out for free now?

back in my day , those costed 300 bp

👵

[gray oyster]

well it was a 6* raid

:(

back in my day there was no such thing

we had to breed and breed and breed

and use acro bikes on the sand mound that automatically moved you back down

and only 5 at a time before you had to drive all the way back to the pokecenter

btw

||leave it to the eevee girl to have the best theme kekw||

[calm forge]

Got my shiny Iron Valiant ez

So clean

[gray oyster]

ironically i just made my poison raid sweeper and its gallade lol

[calm forge]

Think I'm gonna up my shiny Iron Hands to be ready for 5/6 stars

[gray oyster]

hes kinda insane

the only thing he can't really sweep is ghost/poison

which was my dillema

[calm forge]

Isn't his OP move Drain Punch?

What stats/nature should I boost?

[gray oyster]

+atk -spa

atk hp

drain punch iron head belly drum thunder punch

is what i use

[gray oyster]

the thunder punch is only if you're desperate for electric stab and/or have electric tera though

i dont use it like ever almost lol

[final plank]

where are all the decent clothes shops and why aren't they in the anime bait girl's town

tired of this uniform

[waxen zodiac]

whos gonna tell her about the uniform situation

[final plank]

does it make you wear it until the end

when they said it had the most character customisation options for a pokemon game this isn't what I had in mind

[soft monolith]

you can only change between 4 uniforms

[final plank]

idk where to even do that

also

that absolutely sucks

[soft monolith]

its on the digipad to the right or left i think

[waxen zodiac]

winter outfit is pretty decent

[soft monolith]

yeah you can basically change everything besides the top and bottom

[final plank]

chav joggers

nice

[kind thistle]

https://fxtwitter.com/Toastmarshmell1/status/1597782282223247361?s=20&t=9IDmuJrPbe9IRUq_Cv2GJA

[final plank]

anyone want to join a 1* fire eevee raid?

bro

it just despawned

[soft monolith]

f

[final plank]

like right in front of me

[misty ledge]

new seasonal loading screen so cute

except eevee’s a little…off

[leaden lava]

is your switch's clock ahead by a few minutes? i believe the raid dens reset at midnight local time, so if your switch hit 00:00 that might be why it disappeared

[silk sundial]

Pokemon Masters EX??

[misty ledge]

it’s pokemon go!

[silk sundial]

oh cool

[gray oyster]

just gotta make the best with what you have the uniform situation kinda blows

maybe theyll fix it in a dlc

[errant folio]

yea i wanna wear something else lmao

the violet uniform is clean tho

scarlet is a whole other situation

[gray oyster]

i just wish they would've allowed mixing and matching between the uniforms or something

summer top with winter pants or something

[errant folio]

yea

[gray oyster]

longer pants for the 2 that have pants

being able to toggle the suspenders

etc

[errant folio]

true

i remade yves in scarlet

[gray oyster]

lmao

[errant folio]

ngl she looks decently like her

[errant folio]

i changed her hair color by now to like light brownish

[gray oyster]

oh thats a nice look

[errant folio]

yush

[gray oyster]

i just threw some shit together

lmao

changed hair once already too because i noticed literally everyone had mine so

[errant folio]

the color fits amazing with the purple

[gray oyster]

i need like 300 more coins for this damn gimmigoul

[gray oyster]

its joey and rosie aw

[leaden lava]

i named mine Rina

[gray oyster]

you know what

rina is equally as terifying

[leaden lava]

considering the dirt she has on me, probably more so

[gray oyster]

if rina and rosie ever shook hands i think the world would end

[leaden lava]

oh yeah i forgot to share this here yesterday

[gray oyster]

shiny dreep

nice

is that your favorite poke i imagine/

or just really high on the list

[leaden lava]

probably tied with gengar this point

but theres no point shiny hunting a gengar because that fucker is pretty much the same color as a normal version

[gray oyster]

yeah

some day

[leaden lava]

jesus

maybe you'll get lucky and find one who gives you 999 coins

[gray oyster]

the trick is just to have all the watchtowers unlocked and then just fly to them once a day

bc that's where the chest ones spawn

they can give up like 60 or something

dont make me kill my boy :(

[leaden lava]

catch it

[gray oyster]

it might actually ruin me

yeah i can't belly drum

it actually does like 300hp with psychic

LOL

yeah that's such a bad combo

i can't do it lmao

it gets 1 calm mind off and literally 1 shots me

[gray oyster]

it took me like 4 attempts with ceruledge just to get it close

the second it uses calm mind its game over

lol

even without terrain

and it knows tickle which ruins me just rushing it down

6 star eeveelution dont mess around i guess

[shy lava]

yooooooo when you snap this picture of me

[leaden lava]

do i want my skeledirge to know fire blast?

110 power is cool but that 85 accuracy is skull emoji

[gray oyster]

depends, for general purpose its probably neat

but torch song is also kinda just OP

[gray oyster]

funny thought but what if you could bring something obsurd like 999 of a pokemon material to the || time machine || and focus a 6 star fight

(story spoiler)

people basically already timeskip with their settings to get 6 star fights all day so this would just be a way to keep up with the bug abusers

because as fun as it is, i really find no fun in duping and shit like that lmao

https://youtu.be/r-MqliEnFYU

TLDR is

Ranked season 1 starts
music fixes with victory road path
"OTHER SELECT BUG FIXES HAVE BEEN MADE"

thats it lol

no idea when, no idea how big, other than today

You will likely need to do this update to do the charizard raid though

[errant folio]

Austin my boy

[gray oyster]

i like his videos

he doesnt depends on exploits and stuff although he mentions them

[errant folio]

yup he's amazing

[gray oyster]

oh i forgot to mention

use throat spray w/ skeledirge

1x throat spray torch song gives u +2 spa

youll be doing more dmg than fire blast at that point

[gray oyster]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fi2xp_vXkAMxfYU?format=jpg&name=large

wolfie did a tier list for competitive pokemon

its just his opinion piece but considering hes a multi time world champ i think he deserves to be seen lol

[errant folio]

Arcanine my boi

[austere flower]

i like how the flamigo is in the a tier

[gray oyster]

i imagine there's some shenanigans with co-star

bellydrum -> switch to flamigo -> sweep with co-star + acrobatics

110bp 100% accuracy

lmao

[gray oyster]

oh apparently the update is gunna be 1gb+

you make sandwiches in this game

for buffs like extra items and higher shiny chance faster eggs etc

[shy lava]

samícies

[leaden lava]

Some look pretty good too. Could just be because I’m playing while hungry though

[gray oyster]

[leaden lava]

Banger

What is title power

[calm forge]

new thing

basically pokemon will have a title or nickname now sometimes

[leaden lava]

Jesus they want us hunting for His Royal Highness Bellibolt now

[gray oyster]

lmfao

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mark#List_of_marks_2

there's a 1/16512 for a pokemon to be jumbo (max size possible) or mini (smallest)

have fun joey

[leaden lava]

Yeah I don’t care about that no worries

[amber seal]

has anybody gotten the update yet

[leaden lava]

Haven’t checked but I’m gonna avoid it till I can duplicate some stuff

[amber seal]

hacks D:

[calm forge]

Not hacks, just exploits

[gray oyster]

yeah i cant be bothered with the duping and stuff but someone i was helping someone i know get all set up for the worst case scenario

the update probably not happening til 7pm est tonight though

[amber seal]

I was watching some streams this morning and I swear everybody elses game looks way smoother than mine

my game runs like shit

[gray oyster]

do you have it installed to a memory card

or the system memory

[amber seal]

I moved it to system

[gray oyster]

hm

[amber seal]

moving the camera around actually hurts my eyes

[leaden lava]

Where are you

[gray oyster]

the water, like when you're in the lake or ocean, along with whenever there's weather around

ruins my fps

[leaden lava]

I noticed the opening area runs noticeably worse than pretty much anywhere else in the game

[amber seal]

anywhere lol

[leaden lava]

Weird

[amber seal]

water areas are awful

jumping off a cliff and gliding is super awful

[calm forge]

I just want the multi-player herba mystica stuff to still be there

[amber seal]

I'm only at the point where I've beaten all the titans/gyms/star but there's like a 10 level jump to fighting Arven for some reason

so I lost to him

[gray oyster]

what do you mean snoopy

[amber seal]

haven't tried the pokemon league

[gray oyster]

like one person eats the sandwich and it works for everone?

[south willow]

My game runs like poop too mb

[calm forge]

Yeah and the person that puts in the herba mystica can keep it if not the host. You just have to quit the game.

[gray oyster]

o_o

that sounds so weird lmao

[leaden lava]

😐

[calm forge]

So if I join a game joey hosts and I put the herbas in, but exit game I keep them after I reload.

The effects would still work for everyone else in union circle that didn't leave

[south willow]

Op

[gray oyster]

caught a joey with an herb as you said that

thanks joey

[leaden lava]

[calm forge]

It's how I got my shiny Bisharp and Iron Valiant because of that strategy and isolated shiny hunting.

Both those are OP together, you are guaranteed at least 2 shinies doing that

Gonna try for a shiny Maschiff and Toedscool doing that if they don't patch it

[gray oyster]

caught a shiny tim earlier

was just chilling when i was running around killing raids

ive yet to farm for anything other than iron hands

buizel, houndour, sableye and clauncher

[calm forge]

I've got a 5 IV toedscool that I thought about farming with masuda method for.

[amber seal]

the only shiny I've found was a random Lokix

[south willow]

I got one of the spider bug dudes

Ran past it at first almost missed it

[leaden lava]

Hope they add shiny sound in the over world

[calm forge]

Same

[leaden lava]

I legit almost missed my dreepy because I can’t see tiny lil dudes when playing handheld

Had that thing like 3 inches from my face

[calm forge]

They need to especially do it for the ones that are barely different

[leaden lava]

Snom…..

[amber seal]

saw a streamer stop right in front of a gastly and he was about to fly away and was like wait....is this shiny????

and it was lol

almost didn't notice cause you can't even tell

put some sparklies on those or something

[south willow]

I don't want to think about all the shiny I ran past

[calm forge]

Slowpoke is barely noticeable shiny

[amber seal]

not to mention all the tiny ass ones

[gray oyster]

they should just have a big ass star above it

like an unmissable thing

LOL

[calm forge]

Just go how it was in arceus with the sparkle and sound effects.

[gray oyster]

good luck finding an antique sinistea

smil

those things are literally 5 pixels

[gray oyster]

i dont think im gettin the buff

[leaden lava]

RIP

[gray oyster]

I GOT THE BUFFS

[leaden lava]

https://tenor.com/view/adventure-time-finn-baby-dance-gif-7249976

3 onion, 3 tomato, a hamburg 6 tofu bricks

[gray oyster]

normal sandwich

from this

lol

the tofu are like literal bricks though

so having to get 6 is like

lmao

[final plank]

found this tera jolteon at the top of the hill and it's level 50

💀

[leaden lava]

i found a tera sylveon the other day and accidentally killed it

[final plank]

I've not completed the game my pokemon are lv 33 max

[leaden lava]

i died a little

[final plank]

omg

my poor finizen

about to sweep her harder than the team star truck

[gray oyster]

they respawn kinda often dw

theyre always found in the wild iirc

unless ive just avoided some of these without realizing

and yeah the wild tera eeveelutions kinda mess you up lmao

[leaden lava]

i found the same slaking twice yesterday and killed it both times but that sylveon never came back

[gray oyster]

[leaden lava]

i caught a regular espeon where it was tho, when i was grinding chanseys this morning

of course its +atk

[gray oyster]

lmao

[final plank]

nevermind it just keeps spamming my cyclizar with shadow ball

[gray oyster]

the tera espeon i caught this morning had magic bounce which is kinda epic

dont really have to waste an ability patch on mine now

[gray oyster]

gen 9 ai moment

[final plank]

lol caught it

thanks ai

[leaden lava]

dont shit talk the ai

charizard is going to body you

[final plank]

I'll have to use jolteon for that I'm not gonna get to lv 100 before charizard lmao

[leaden lava]

i dont know if we can even do charizard if we havent beaten the game

[final plank]

bit early to stick a raid like that in isn't it LOL how long is it around for

[leaden lava]

til sunday afternoon then it comes back in two weeks i believe

[final plank]

does anyone want to do a sandile raid w psychic tera

it's 2*

sorry for my noob raids

🚶‍♂️

[gray oyster]

i would if i wasnt headed to bed :(

also yeah you can't do the raid if you didn't unlock 6 star raids, which requires u to beat the last story (which is after the 3)

[gray oyster]

ill pin yours snoopy but it actually looks worse than the first update lmao

exceptions all over the place and placing 9 tofu on a bun is holy moly

[calm forge]

Supposed to be better for union circle shiny hunting

Idea is host puts in little and the player who puts in the most gets it all back

[gray oyster]

Ah

[final plank]

so many exceptions lmao

[gray oyster]

smile

(its a bug im irritated) (lol)

[gray oyster]

i will say it was a lot easier than expected

i just built a grimmsnarl support w/ light screen and spa down fairy move and he did no dmg after like 2 turns

spirit break*

[south willow]

I wish I had my Grimmsnarl from sword and shield don't really want to get another one

[gray oyster]

i can trade you a lv75 one if you want :o

i have a spare from a raid lol

[south willow]

I have one

[gray oyster]

ah

[south willow]

Just I had a shiny one that I want in this game

[gray oyster]

youll be able to get the one from swsh in march-ish then

oooo i wanna make a shiny one kinda

looks pretty clean

[south willow]

[errant folio]

i want a shiny growlithe

[gray oyster]

[errant folio]

never had one before

[gray oyster]

shiny doggie good

[errant folio]

been hunting on let's go

a long time

got every single one almost but that growlithe.... never

had a full odds venomoth

[gray oyster]

Is it easier in let's go than here?

Or just not at the point here yet

[errant folio]

in let's go u catch 30 pokemon (so a 30 catch streak) and that's it

[gray oyster]

Ooh

[errant folio]

just run around and ur at ur max odds

[gray oyster]

That's kinda insane

I think

[errant folio]

every pokemon can be shiny, doesn't have to be the one u catched 30 times

yea kinda cool

[gray oyster]

I gotta get around to playing some of the games I missed in between

[errant folio]

Let's go is amazing

i loved it a lot

every pokemon u can take out to walk with you and some u can fly/ride

so u can fly around the map on a charizard

[south willow]

I enjoyed let's go

[errant folio]

Legends Arceus i didn't enjoy

it was cool

but story wise meh

[south willow]

Has anyone tried using Farigiraf? I kinda want to build one for raids

[errant folio]

like if you wanted to move forward u had to research so many pokemon again while if you move forward to another area u kinda have to ignore all pokemon there and just continue the story AND THEN catch the pokemon and stuff since they ask u to research em anyways after that little story in that area to continue further

[south willow]

Or do I just go Gallade?

[calm forge]

Gallade

[gray oyster]

Gallade with sharpness is probably one of the most well rounded pokemon this gen so far

Psycho cut STAB for damage, false swipe for catching pokemon, sword dance for when one psycho cut won't do it

[south willow]

Yeaaaaa

[gray oyster]

just cleared it again in a public lobby to test out this grimmsnarl build

got 20 calciums lmao

14 large candies and 8 xl candy

lol

kinda cracked

[leaden lava]

man

now i regret not being prepared sooner

[gray oyster]

it'll be back in two weeks joey dw

just enjoy the game

[leaden lava]

yeah but ill be technically able to play it maybe tomorrow, just wont have the monsters for it or know the strat

guess ill just dupe a bunch of items in the meantime

[gray oyster]

yeah i mean if you're duping just dupe xl candy and all the pills

and you'll be set without raiding to begin with

lmao

[gray oyster]

wolfie has a video of him becoming the first masterball tier alr too lmao

7hr long vod

he was 21/5 jeez

farming

[gray oyster]

i just did a casual game to mess around and this dude was running chienpao volcarona and kingambit

insane

[leaden lava]

yeah theres no such thing as casual pokemon battling with randos

its all sweaty hardcore mfers

[gray oyster]

@leaden lava !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had an outbreak and said yolo

and it showed up

[errant folio]

lucky

[leaden lava]

omg

[gray oyster]

want it lmao?

[leaden lava]

if you dont want it, yes please

[gray oyster]

pretty sure this outbreak it toast now anyway because its day time and they stopped spawning

do u want me to everstone it so it doesnt evolve or

[leaden lava]

hmmmmm

nah. even if haunter's shiny is more obvious than gengar's, i still love gengar.

i can't trade for a bit though, since im not updating the game yet
