Pokemon

[gray oyster]

oh

ill save it for u then i guess lmao

[leaden lava]

im just arriving at area zero

[gray oyster]

nice

enjoy that story because its probably the best writing of a pokemon game in history lmao

at the very least the best postgame story

[leaden lava]

man i want penny's backpack so bad

[gray oyster]

mood

[gray oyster]

been running charizard raids for like an hour now

the amount of public lobbies of people that just don't have a single clue is kinda sad

[errant folio]

gonna also do one later

[gray oyster]

someone brought FLORGES

TO A CHARIZARD

[errant folio]

tbh it's a fairy type but still

hahaha

yea some people

[gray oyster]

yeah its fairy but the other part is grass vs a charizard w/ fire blast

it also used light screen into my alr set up screen

[errant folio]

u sure it's grass/fairy?

[gray oyster]

oh my bad then

its defence just sucks then

lmao

[errant folio]

hahahah

[gray oyster]

sdef

[errant folio]

actually...

[gray oyster]

then idk what to say

maybe that persons was fried

[errant folio]

charizard just stronk

[gray oyster]

because it died to the overheat charizard uses at the very beginning

LOL

[errant folio]

lool

[gray oyster]

so far the best poke's ive seen are

azu and sylv for dmg

the bun dog for HH and play rough

and im biased but grimmsnarl for screen and spirit break

oh yeah i had to leave a raid because someone tried going in with their skeledirge

which i wasnt gunna waste my time w/ that lmao

[errant folio]

Azumarill my bae

he carried me SO hard in the game

[gray oyster]

yeah i think enough youtubers drilled it into peoples heads that that's the poke for this raid

[errant folio]

legit tanking stuff i was scared off it would die to

[gray oyster]

that the public lobbies just have it on lock

[errant folio]

yea

Giving azumarill fairy type was very good

[gray oyster]

imagine if they gave the raid mon solar beam tho

instead of hurricane

[errant folio]

oof

[gray oyster]

people were worried abt thunder punch and solar beam

i think the insta overheat into resetting his spatk is a nice touch though

wish it gave more than just calcium though

lmao

+6L +4XL not pictured

[amber seal]

damn

I gotta get into end game

[gray oyster]

i mean usually you don't get nearly this much from 5*s its significantly more for this lol

but yeah candies are fantastic

[leaden lava]

😐

now i need to do this ||tournament thing.....||

[gray oyster]

yeah its not that bad

just threw a bunch of candy at a dachsbun

i wanna see if it performs better than grimmsnarl

[leaden lava]

alright we cloning master balls now

[gray oyster]

wow cheater

im telling my uncle who just happens to be the ceo of nintendo

wonder if i should bring an attacking move to use once its like -3 or 4 spa

just lost my first one in a long time because we were short a little damage lol

hmm screen froze lol

its just a blinding white screen

[leaden lava]

[gray oyster]

had to reset and i had loot i think

i think i was just ahead due to desync and they killed it

but the game bugged surprisingly

[leaden lava]

So much for those other bug fixes in the patch

[gray oyster]

sylveon is kinda insane for this event

i think its stronger than azu

ngl

drain kiss|fake tears|hyper beam|hyper voice

fake tears 1/2 times, hyper voice once, shield comes up, hyper beam, shield gone

not needing to rely on belly drum is huge

[south willow]

Yea sylveons have been great

At least when I run into them in pubs

[south willow]

It's prob because they promoted it and mimikyu to use against Charizard in the news thing as special raids

I've seen one or two as well

[errant folio]

i'm legit chansey farming rn

need my pokemon lvl 100 for the charizard raid

[south willow]

I was lazy and just used xp and rare candies

[errant folio]

loool

[calm forge]

same lol

[south willow]

If you raid enough you'll make it back fast

[calm forge]

I just did some 5 stars and used the stuff from them

[errant folio]

hmmm maybe i should

[south willow]

Charizard is giving out fat rewards

[errant folio]

lvl 76 > 86 now

[calm forge]

got my shiny Iron Valiant, so we balling

[south willow]

Def worth it to get a Mon up to grind them

[errant folio]

azu

[south willow]

Azu does get work done

[errant folio]

azu always has been the water type in my team

i'll prob raid tomorrow

just used my rare candies

lvl 94

[calm forge]

anyone down to try to see if the union circle herba mystica stuff still works?

[amber seal]

what are good moves to give Koraidon

[amber seal]

oo

I'll try that

damn I have to do all the gyms the second time to get 6* raids?

[neon bronze]

Yeah

||gyms and then tournament||

[south willow]

It doesn't take that long

[errant folio]

fr??? fuck dude

[calm forge]

https://vxtwitter.com/Rhymestyle/status/1598583748395962368?t=jQfkc9heGQcXICvk8J6Ayw&s=19

This is why we need the sparkle and sound effects back

[south willow]

Wtf

[amber seal]

wtf so lucky LOL

[gray oyster]

Dw about rushing the raids bfw

They'll be beck at the end of dec

Just have fun with the game if u rush the story for a 3 day event u might regret lol

[amber seal]

I mean I'm close so I can get there

[gray oyster]

seems like the lv1 dragon sandwich has virutally no effect on zard drops

idk if i wanna test lv2 lol

[amber seal]

beat the ace trainer thing so guess I get to farm raids now

[leaden lava]

If you didn’t update yet you can dupe items

[amber seal]

no cheats

[south willow]

The only item worth duping is the beast ball

[leaden lava]

you only get that for completing the dex huh

:chuudamn:

[gray oyster]

And apriballs

And yeah joey

Make sure u guys check ur auctions every half hour or so for apriballs

Can get lots of shit if u trade them lol

I gave someone 2 shinies for a love ball and an ability patch lol

[calm forge]

Auctions?

[leaden lava]

bro you had to do one for a gym test

[calm forge]

Thought meant trading auctions lol

I got 50 of each apriball

And 100 beast

[leaden lava]

[final plank]

love having explorer syndrome and perma ending up in places that are way too high level

why am I in the dragon lake

[amber seal]

lmao ok I see why azumarill is good for charizard raids

too bad he auto heals or I would have two shot him

unfortunately the rest of my team was useless so we actually lost

ok my roommate just told me that charizard healing back to half hp with the shield is a bug? lol

[gray oyster]

Yea

It's a very well known bug when you do too much dmh lmao

Dmg

[gray oyster]

This messed me up a lot too lmao

[amber seal]

gotten 2 ability patches and an ability capsule already

[south willow]

I totally wasn't over 50 before I took on the first gym....

[amber seal]

the worst part about that is that you had to do the gyms to make wild pokemon obey you

as soon as I caught something over level 20 or whatever and I couldn't use it I had to start doing teh gyms

[south willow]

you say this like I didn't just use my starter to sweep the game....

[amber seal]

where's the fun in that

[south willow]

the exploring

[gray oyster]

Lmao

[south willow]

I also didn't realize gyms gave catch bonuses so I mashed face against a lot of higher level things trying to catch them

[waxen zodiac]

i did this and caught a larvitar in the cave to the psychic gym so early

[final plank]

yeah I just wasted all my ultra balls catching a lv 52 dratini

[amber seal]

yeah I wanted to catch stuff in that cave but since you couldn't use it I went and focused on the gyms lol

wanna use stuff I catch

[south willow]

fair

I was catching mostly for dex/wonder trade fodder

[silk sundial]

Are Galar and Alolan forms in the game as well as dynamax and megas??

[calm forge]

not as far as I've seen

[calm forge]

oh hey

[leaden lava]

theres a Galarian meowth you can receive as a gift from a teacher, and you can trade a paldean wooper for a regular one with an NPC, but i think that's about it.

the combat gimmicks are exclusive to their generations

[gray oyster]

oh thats what happened to mine

yeah you dont wanna do that

at least before you breed it once

or something like that

[leaden lava]

was working on a sylveon and then it started to evolve and i forgot it needs a fairy move or else its espeon, so i smash b harder than ive ever smashed b before

and then i found out it has baby doll eyes so now i gotta level the little shit again

damn i need a patch to get the hidden ability

[gray oyster]

pixelate?

i can trade one to you w/ the haunter i have 3 atm

just savcing them for a rainy day

[leaden lava]

ill probably update soon tbh

this duping thing is monotonous even if it is easy

and i cant stand monotony

i literally just used it to make enough berries to get sylveon's friendship up lol

[gray oyster]

thats y i had no interest in it

it was boring monotonous and felt it like was gunna fuck my hand up

so i cba'd after like once

lol

i know shane duped all his apriballs because that's his thing and like 300 patches for infinite money basically

[leaden lava]

gimme

[calm forge]

no

find one

[gray oyster]

did it

gave it 26 carbos and fixed the -def and made it -atk

just need to hyper train and it's gunnabe a sweeper

final stats, raid ready

[leaden lava]

😵‍💫

[gray oyster]

replace make it rain for steel beam though

its kinda stronger

[leaden lava]

isnt make it rain good for money grinding tho

[gray oyster]

make it rain is basically
120bp -spatk on use 2x money
steel beam is
140bp -hp on use

since u dont get raw money from raids better off with steel beam

[gray oyster]

you can et a little more value and not ruin your setup with steel beam

[leaden lava]

oh man am i not prepared for charizard or even 6 star raids

hopped onto a mimikyu 5 star and we ran out of time 💀

[neon bronze]

Today’s loot

[final plank]

if anyone wants to add on switch hmu

I like having switch friends

[calm forge]

is there any shiny that you want casti?

[final plank]

maybe finizen or wattrel

[calm forge]

if you find an outbreak of them we can do union circle and i can make a level 3 encounter/shiny 3 for you

[final plank]

that would be really fun

I did loads of shiny hunting during arceus does it work similarly with the outbreaks?

[calm forge]

somewhat

just send out your pokemon until you see "doesnt seem to be many pokemon left from orginial", then continue to set up a picnic to reset the spawn.

[final plank]

oh tbh that's easier than arceus

[calm forge]

you can also make a sandwich that gives you better odds and if you do union circle there is a way to keep your herba mysticas

[misty ledge]

nice!! shiny sceptile is so good
i’ve got a few more hours before my raids start. i want shiny swampert and sceptile

[silk sundial]

is that why you havent updated it? to do the dupe thing??

[leaden lava]

Yeah

I gave up tho lol

[silk sundial]

So the dupe thing like the glitch in Emerald??

[leaden lava]

Never played emerald so no clue

[neon bronze]

Good luck

[south willow]

Time because you couldn't hit the DPS check or time cause some died over and over?

[gray oyster]

teambuilding makes brain hurt

if you're doing singles you basically have to account for palafin every game, if you're doing doubles, annihilape, and murkrow are super strong and i just dont wanna think

[final plank]

any scarlet users able to trade me a decent nature charcadet

🙏

purple one is cool

[gray oyster]

purple one is in violet though

[final plank]

do the small versions look the same

[gray oyster]

also dont worry about natures too much you can change the stats for super cheap

[final plank]

I looked at zero spoilers prior to playing

the charcadets

are they red in both vers?

[gray oyster]

uhm

yeah

charcadet is red regardless

armarogue (scarlet) carries the red sceme still

and ceruledge (violet) is like purple

[leaden lava]

It’s like a cool gallade

[silk sundial]

My boy Gallade went into the NT Network

https://tenor.com/view/megaman-vs-protoman-megaman-exe-vs-protoman-exe-megaman-exe-protoman-exe-megaman-gif-25891190

[south willow]

The only way they get tera crystals is through raids right?

[gray oyster]

idk how to explain without spoiling lol

||there's some on the floor in the post-game||

the short answer is yes though, that'll be your main method

not the only one though

[south willow]

Yea ||I saw some but wasn't sure how grindable that was||

I wish I could trade these dragon ones for something else

[gray oyster]

yeah i have like 300 dragon ones now

lmao

[leaden lava]

Jeez

[gray oyster]

the charizard raid was fun

[south willow]

Just had someone bring a Noivern to a Charizard raid and they died every turn

Choices in pubs sometimes are very strange

[amber seal]

yeah if I'm hosting and people show dumb things I will cancel and find new people

[gray oyster]

i refuse to accept til everyone else has submitted

if its a 5 or 6 i can usually carry if they dont die every second theyre alive

but the 7s are different lol

[south willow]

I think I'm going to make a support for the next time Charizard comes around

[gray oyster]

grimmsnarl and the bun dog are really good

[south willow]

Dog might be fun since I already have a Grimmsnarl sitting in a Home box

[gray oyster]

dog lacks screen setup but can HH

immune to dragon + fire too

so hurricane only move that really poses a threat

can play rough for dmg as well

[south willow]

Did you keep spirit break on Grimmsnarl or switch for more dmg?

[gray oyster]

i never really refined the build since i never really had to

i just set up light screen and spammed cheers + spirit break

you could pick up anythin gyou wanted for a 3rd and 4th move if u wanted to

[final plank]

dachsbun best

charizard aside bun dog is best

[gray oyster]

i built one for the raid but i felt like it was useless running HH without talking to the person i was using it with on comms or something

with desync and timing issues kinda makes it useless

so i just went back to using grimm

[misty ledge]

horrible shiny luck today and my bf did the same amount and didn’t get a single shiny

[royal flame]

man i gotta hatch more of my rotom eggs

im at like 300

so if anyone needs a rotom to complete dex or just wants one?

im your guy

[pale dawn]

I accidentally released the one shiny I caught in violet

Crying

[stark mirage]

Oh no D :

[calm forge]

golden

[gray oyster]

Bird

[stark mirage]

🥲

[leaden lava]

👀

[stark mirage]

Shiny skeledirge is gorgeous

[leaden lava]

Yeah if I got one I wouldn’t mind hiding my starter in a box and giving her name away

[stark mirage]

[leaden lava]

I feel immense guilt even thinking that

https://youtube.com/shorts/6Bv_-KmDpoo?feature=share

[calm forge]

Caught a shiny Wattrel for you casti.

[pale dawn]

Woah, nice shinies

[final plank]

omg

🫂

I didn't get pinged for that I just happened to backread

[final plank]

my bf got his charizard with azu, had 2 sylveons and a grimmsnarl with him too

[gray oyster]

Poggers

[gray oyster]

this is funny lol

[stark mirage]

Gonna shiny hunt charmander now 🫡

[stark mirage]

Amazing

[south willow]

[gray oyster]

the espe original, mess on a plate

[stark mirage]

I’d eat it

[waxen zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-4331350

[gray oyster]

shiny forestress just used explosion

im crying

[amber seal]

can't you save when you find a shiny and reset if you lose it

[south willow]

Lolol

[gray oyster]

time for round 2

this time i brought golduck

with damp

so the stupid acorn can't kill itself

oh another one was right around the corner

lmao

sandwich is done, encountered 4 of them and caught 3 of them lmao

[waxen zodiac]

the texture on that shiny is so nice

[stark mirage]

Solid gold boi

https://tenor.com/view/sheesh-sheeesh-sheeeesh-bro-bruh-gif-22818626

[gray oyster]

i made up for the exploded one

lol

[stark mirage]

huge

[gray oyster]

protip, golduck has damp which prevents explosion

lol

[final plank]

@calm forge I'm free to trade now 🙏

also what town sells the flag picks

I forgot

[calm forge]

usually the school one, water gym town as well

5225 2255

[final plank]

thanks snoop

I love the shiny ver

[calm forge]

np

[silk sundial]

Wait

Theres already a new episode of the Pokemon Series

[gray oyster]

me whenever i do a charizard raid

[south willow]

Lol

[stark mirage]

LOL

[south willow]

Confusion RNG hates me I always hurt myself

[stark mirage]

the hurricanes hit so hard too

[calm forge]

I almost lost a shiny to them hurting themselves in confusion

[stark mirage]

[amber seal]

you guys need to save before walking into a shiny

[gray oyster]

i can't help myself

i see shiny i run at shiny

that's why i have so many potions

[stark mirage]

I’ve nearly fainted quite a few shinies before cause instead of hitting the menu button first I just hit the r trigger and it sends out my Pokémon

Terrifying

[waxen zodiac]

they can't kill shinies in that mode!

they refuse to

[stark mirage]

WAIT

YOURE RIGHT

I forgot about that

[waxen zodiac]

literally the one QOL thing i'd never expect them to add

but no sound indication for some reason

[stark mirage]

Give me back the sound and sparkles T^T

It added to the experience, and also important accessibility feature

[gray oyster]

i mean otherwise its virtually impossible to find some of them

since they decided every pokemon is gunna be bite size

seeing a tyranitar smaller than me shouldnt be a thing

[south willow]

the tiny mod on already tiny mons

[gray oyster]

this thing is like 7ft tall

also i didn't notice but it has one of the rare titles i think

oh nvm just the friendship one

[stark mirage]

Shiny hunting dreepy was

A nightmare

So was hatenna but that was a quick hunt

[gray oyster]

dragapult got the worst nerf in this game ngl

poison darts doesnt shoot dreepy

[stark mirage]

Lame

[gray oyster]

dragon darts*

[south willow]

[neon bronze]

[silk sundial]

Gonna add Chikorita to my party next game now

[gray oyster]

i love dried lettuce pokemon

[stark mirage]

[gray oyster]

they need to make a game where you start with all 3

like coliseum gave you both umbe and espe

no more leaving one behind

[gray oyster]

i got reverse swept by an anger shell sash klawf

[silk sundial]

If Gen 2 got another setup, I can see Meganium being Grass/Dragon and Feraligator being Water/Ground as well as Typhlosion being Fire/Ground

[vivid crane]

i mean Unova and Kalos count for that right

[gray oyster]

couldnt tell you

never played em

[vivid crane]

u get 2 rivals

[gray oyster]

oh i remember that

actually

[stark mirage]

Wait who was the other…rival…in sun/moon?

Like I know there was gladion hau and lillie but I don’t think any of them got the other starter right?

[gray oyster]

Hau got the starter and that's it I'm pretty sure

S/v story spoiler ||at least the director gets the one you're weak too at the end of this one||

[south willow]

I ran out of box space.....

[gray oyster]

Uh oh

Breeding?

[south willow]

yea

[gray oyster]

I stopped after 8 boxes of azurills lmao

There's no way I'm releasing all of em

[south willow]

I have to now

lolol

[gray oyster]

Good luck lmao

[south willow]

but average has been 5ish boxes to shiny

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

you know you can save right before you start and if you dont get the shiny by a certain point, reload it

[south willow]

I hate reloading

it takes forever

[calm forge]

beats the time it takes to release everything lol

[south willow]

fair but it wasn't really a problem til now

[gray oyster]

Won't be a problem as soon as March comes anyway

[south willow]

but that's so far away

[gray oyster]

Yeah but in the meantime you can just use sandwiches in the wild on hotspots

Outbreaks too

[stark mirage]

I just do the isolated encounters

Outbreaks are frustrating sometimes

[gray oyster]

I haven't really tried for any of mine so far they mostly just come to me

I tried for iron hands I think that's about the only one

The fortress that I got I was just getting for Tim but I decided to YOLO and see how many I could get and I ended up with four

I'll breed for shiny Eevee set at some point

[south willow]

breeding is nice cause you can half checkout for most of it

[gray oyster]

Yeah you basically eat an egg2 sandwich and just spam click a every 5 mins or so

[south willow]

yupppp

[gray oyster]

And then when home comes out you can throw them all in there and mass release

[stark mirage]

Yeah I was multitasking earlier hunting for charmander

Draw for 30 mins while eggs build up

[gray oyster]

I thought it was shiny locked

Or can u breed down for it

[stark mirage]

You can breed down

[gray oyster]

Ooooh

Didn't know that

[stark mirage]

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

Trying to farm salty herba mystica is tough. Just finding the raids is the biggest thing.

I only got about 5 atm

[gray oyster]

I've just been using em sparingly I still have like 8 of each give or take

But I also run in circles for hours clearing every raid I can so

[final plank]

anyone want to do a 3* zorua raid w poison type

in case anyone is here

[gray oyster]

some day casti will ask when i am alive

[final plank]

why do egg sandwiches just not work omg

also nobody puts half an egg on a sandwich u use an egg slicer

[gray oyster]

i encourage you to see the hilariousness of a tofu sandwich

[calm forge]

If you're still on in an hour casti we can make some shiny sandwiches for free

[final plank]

for free!

[vivid crane]

The champion raises the third starter iirc

at least in US/UM

[stark mirage]

Oh yeahhhh

[vivid crane]

Kukui was the best pokemon professor

[final plank]

wrong

it's cheren

[stark mirage]

I liked professor juniper

Wasn’t cheren the rival in bw?

[final plank]

yeah then in b2 w2 he was the professor

[stark mirage]

OH YEAH

[final plank]

idr what bianca was

[calm forge]

The best gym leader is Larry in this game

[south willow]

Larryyyyyyy

[vivid crane]

i thought that was Bianca, and Cheren was just a gym leader

[final plank]

I swear cheren was the professor

unless I'm misremembering

it was like 10 years ago in my defence

[final plank]

which one is he again

[calm forge]

normal gym leader

business man

[soft monolith]

cheren was normal gym leader in bw2

[final plank]

in which case

idk who the best professor is

[gray oyster]

i like jacq

weird name weird guy

[waxen zodiac]

currently working on getting everything to research level 10 on arceus for shiny charm

[gray oyster]

nice

i think this weekend im gunna end up getting more into arceus now that ive kinda reached the peak for s/v

raids are fun but i dont really need anything, other than that its just online ranked battles which im not super into

id just do pokemon showdown

[waxen zodiac]

yeah with them making it easier to train and less postgame it seems like competitive is the end goal

[stark mirage]

It’s good

Nice not having to dump 50+ hours into breeding a comp mon

And cuts down the amount of cheating/hacking

[waxen zodiac]

bottle caps are pretty neat

[stark mirage]

Frfr

Those suckers were hard to find in sun moon

[gray oyster]

yeah my thing is i just wanna try a ton of stupid shit

and that still takes a ton of time and stuff to train

whereas in showdown i can just move a slider and have a perfect mon

but i wanna play the game i paid for so im at an impas lol

i need it

friend

[stark mirage]

SAME

I want it so bad

[gray oyster]

cute little friend

also kinda insane ngl

stats arent that bad and has Iron Fist HA

[stark mirage]

It’s like the best pikachu knock off mon besides mimikyu

Design wise imo

[gray oyster]

yea

[soft monolith]

i also want to continue shiny hunting and stuff but i cant look at 2 different screens all the time, cause my eyes start to hurt really quick

[gray oyster]

YOu can also make pawmot pure fighting type as well without Tera

which is kinda unique

[gray oyster]

shiny hunting this gen is already an eyesore due to how small most pokes are

lol

[soft monolith]

lol yeah

but i also get dizzy from looking left right left right allthetime

so like yeah i dont like playing atm

[south willow]

punchy punchy

[gray oyster]

I just love the fact with it's signature move it can drop the electric typing and just be a mini hitmonchan

[leaden lava]

oh thats actually really nice

i mean, it better be considering what it takes to evolve the lil fucker

[south willow]

its not that bad

[gray oyster]

Walking 1k steps ain't bad lol

[leaden lava]

hey to each their own

[gray oyster]

Joey it's only walking

Just have them out when you're hatching eggs

[gray oyster]

I wonder if they're gonna make pawmot and the one rolling bug boi banned for comp at some point

Revival blessing sounds disgusting in a competitive environment

[leaden lava]

you either have to walk slowly, walk in something that doesnt let them stray far from you, or crouch walk

otherwise they just go back to their ball

i did see one strat that was like, jump on a pokemon center roof while your pokemon is out and then they'll run around on the ground because they cant get to you, nor or you so far that they'll teleport into the ball

so they just run in circles

[amber seal]

just go to the top of a watchtower or the lighthouse from the beginning and run around ina circle on the top of it on your mount

takes like 30 seconds

[gray oyster]

The only annoying part is there's no step counter so u basically just free ball the time it takes lol

[stark mirage]

I just played it extra safe and ran around for 5-10 mins straight

[amber seal]

yeah it doesn't take nearly that long lol

[gray oyster]

I just up and down a beach but I started passing out at my desk lmao

[leaden lava]

from what ive read, the step counter resets if they go back into their ball

so if you go too fast you gotta do it over

[amber seal]

that's why the towers are good because you can't get too far away from them

[gray oyster]

Nah it doesn't reset if they go back I messed up a lot on the spider boi

[amber seal]

ah yeah the comment I found says 7 loops around the top of the lighthouse. I didn't really count my loops but it was easily less than 5 minutes for walking all 3 pokes

[amber seal]

anyone with Violet want to let me run around in their game

[soft monolith]

i would need to launch my switch

but i can do that real quick

[amber seal]

pokedex is nearly done I just need all the violet exclusives basically

[soft monolith]

There are trading codes for those

check pins

but i can still open up my map, maybe youll find some shinys while running around

[amber seal]

oo

well I need to evolve my finizen too

[soft monolith]

oh okay

give me a sec

[amber seal]

huh apparently version exclusives only appear if the other player is near you

[soft monolith]

wait really?

[amber seal]

I just found a larvitar which is a scarlet pokemon lol

[soft monolith]

do we need to run around hand in hand now

[amber seal]

that's what the internet says

[soft monolith]

hmm odd

[gray oyster]

Yeah you gotta be in the same area ish

Not like hugging and holding hands close but like within eyeshot basically

[amber seal]

I can't get the other charcadet armor either

also lame

[soft monolith]

hmmm

[amber seal]

that's ok I evolved finizen at least

[soft monolith]

the rest should be doable with the trading codes

[amber seal]

I can trade for other stuff or steal my housemates switch they're just sleeping xd

[soft monolith]

[amber seal]

I was trying to trade for a quaxly before and every single person I connected to also had a fuecoco

I think the duck is the least popular starter lol

[soft monolith]

yep

i tried like 100times till i got it

[short mirage]

Hi

I basically do like pokemon drawins that looks like Pokémon

I can't show it here so

[gray oyster]

If u check the pins mb the vid has a code for trading armarouge and ceruledge

[amber seal]

yeah I saw

[gray oyster]

If you're around when I wake up later on I have a spare armor for ceru

If u don't have one by then

[gray oyster]

i reset my game 29 times for a 6* ditto and still no luck

[calm forge]

Looks like someone is figuring out the code for shiny Tera raids cause friends in another server are already hosting 2.

[amber seal]

huh like guaranteed shiny raids?

[calm forge]

Yeah

One friend is hosting a 4 star shiny Banette one right now.

[amber seal]

the heck

[calm forge]

Trying to figure out how they did it

[amber seal]

seems like once you find a shiny raid you can continue to host it for other people and just quit after

if you save in front of it with autosaves off

[calm forge]

Well apparently they didn't do a lot of searching for it, seems like some peeps might now more about it

[amber seal]

if there's a way to actually find shiny raids that would be useful

[calm forge]

Bout to find out cause they are 100% catch rate

[stark mirage]

Kinda crazy that the odds for shiny raids are even higher than regular full odds

I honestly think you just have to get really lucky

Not sure if there’s a method

[amber seal]

finished pokedex finally

[stark mirage]

Nice

[amber seal]

borrowed my housemates switch and just got all the violet pokes and traded them to myself lol

[strong cape]

[amber seal]

oof

[final plank]

ouch

[final plank]

when you figure it out host some shiny parties for us

[calm forge]

It'd be easier to just to the union circle shiny strat

[stark mirage]

yeah host some shiny parties for us : )

[leaden lava]

Yeah snoopy

[gray oyster]

theyre supposed be rate-locked, so locked at 1/4k

even w/ charm and stuff

oops ping

[stark mirage]

all g

[final plank]

yeah snoopy

[calm forge]

How about no

Found out what I needed and am not gonna risk it lol

[final plank]

is it illegal

[calm forge]

Raid searcher and cfw switch

[leaden lava]

ez

honestly thats pretty lame

if someone is going throughh that much trouble they might as well just hack their own pokemon and saave themselves the trouble

[gray oyster]

cfw?

is just like a jailbroken switch or

[leaden lava]

yeah custom firmware

[gray oyster]

o

so like a jtag xbox

from back in the day

[leaden lava]

not even sure if its even possible to do on modern switches so he’d need an original model switch

[stark mirage]

i mean you might as well

hunt the shiny on its own

raid just sounds like pain

[gray oyster]

definitely easier

dunno why you'd go to the extreme of hacking your game+console for it lol

[calm forge]

They did it for the gmax shiny ones in sword/shield

Basically ones like gengar that were super hard to catch and no reload

[gray oyster]

at least in s/v its 100% cr so there's that i guess

i think it would be a thousand times easier to just dupe the food/cheat the food in and just have permanent sandwiches for life

[final plank]

well that's disappointing

[gray oyster]

i wouldn't stress it too much, shinies are fairly easy to come by in this game

[calm forge]

cuaght 2 shinies today

same area too

[south willow]

I need to get a shiny doggo

[calm forge]

I need the 3rd shiny one to complete collection of new dogs

aka maschiff

[gray oyster]

shiny bun dog

[calm forge]

bro I barely saw the shiny keys

it just was like a pixel on my screen that was different

[waxen zodiac]

green boi

[calm forge]

pink sheep

[vivid crane]

Hariyamalter

whenever i see the new ancient/robo mons i just put alter in their name cause that's the gacha brain

[misty ledge]

shiny dachsbun and mareep are mine

[calm forge]

no

[gray oyster]

People are changing contrasts and stuff on their monitor to see stuff better

Like removing the green and reds to see charcadet blue eyes and stuff

[pale dawn]

Smart

[gray oyster]

On that note, shiny charcadet is so dumb lmao

The eyes are the only difference

[stark mirage]

IKR

they had so much potential to make it look awesome

/fails

[south willow]

they should have done a color swap

[leaden lava]

game freak hates ghost shinies thats all

[stark mirage]

so true

why are all ghost shinies like

the barest shade lighter

[gray oyster]

We love ring pop haunter

[waxen zodiac]

oh no the last thing i need is a shieldon

i had two cranidos but only one shieldon and its already evolved... have to wait for a space time

[gray oyster]

Arceus?

[waxen zodiac]

yeah then i'll have everything lv 10

[amber seal]

I never finished endgame in Arceus

[gray oyster]

Gj nites am proud of u

[final plank]

I missed bun dog chat

[south willow]

It's always bun dog chat

[final plank]

bun dog > rest

[final plank]

anyone want to maybe do a 5* fairy dragapult raid

[calm forge]

shiny update

[gray oyster]

nice

[calm forge]

Roaring Moon is the toughest to get

[stark mirage]

heehee

[gray oyster]

raidmons with yawn/hypnosis make me so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

this vaporeon would yawn, then rain dance

then the entire time asleep just pound me with surf

[stark mirage]

frfr

or right as im about to bring the smackdown with adamant play rough huge power azumarill i get hit with the will o wisp

[gray oyster]

i 3 shot it but it almost timed me out because of how long i was asleep + 1 death

yeah the burn hurts so bad too

i built up a gholdengo that kinda helps but after setup hes usually so beat up that he barely lives the steel beam

[stark mirage]

😔

[gray oyster]

shell bell azu also kinda hurts if he gets beat to attacks

like this sludge bomb goodra im up against rn

[amber seal]

anything with poison kinda ruins azu

[gray oyster]

my hp after 3x nasty plots

steel beam kills from here

and as soon as it puts the shield up//if it can, gholdengo is kinda useless because you're supposed to run nasty plot recover metal sound steel beam

[stark mirage]

yeah shell bell azu goes crazy

[gray oyster]

just gotta land once to make it better than sitrus berry

i want pokehome to come alr so i can store all my mons i got from finishing the dex and just have my boxes full of raid pokes lol

ive been reset tricking 6*s for fun so my boxes are near full of 5iv L75s lol

one of my favorite things is when it hits me with 2 thunders back to back and then thunder waves me without any time in between

because why would i wanna play the game

i still don't have a decent raidmon for poison 6 stars though

a real struggl

chonky gal

oh yeah this is the other 5iv i grabbed

kinda insane

if you can set this guy up in trick room OOF

[stark mirage]

OOOF yeah

kingambit my beloved

that supreme overlord ability prolly gonna go bonkers in ranked

[gray oyster]

maybe in 6v6 but in singles which is normally 3v3 he only gets a 20% :\

the main insanity is defiant

[stark mirage]

true

[gray oyster]

since he basically can't be stopped lol

has access to sucker punch too

these are all my raid friends

these, minus mousehouse and teaboi are friends that ive gathered from 6*s

i got a family of 3 mousehouse and liked it so i kept it

[stark mirage]

[gray oyster]

this guy is named after tim

so is gunther actually

[stark mirage]

amazing

he does give tim vibes

[gray oyster]

which one, ceru or azu

[stark mirage]

yes

[gray oyster]

solid answer

he caught me a shiny azu and named it gunther and i told him i would never change the name

and he just gave me a random charcadet that i named after him when i was helping him with his dex lol

[stark mirage]

lol

[gray oyster]

this bug amongus one shots me with foul play so skeledirge and cerledge are out of the question

[stark mirage]

LOL

[gray oyster]

i wish i didnt need to abuse timeskip to do more 6 stars

i crave the challenge lol

5 stars are too inconsistent to farm since 3 and 4s are mixed in

[amber seal]

I've done so many stupid 5 and 6 star raids and I have 0 herbas still

game sucks

[calm forge]

Have you looked at the list of Pokémon that drop them more?

It's helped me out at targeting some

[amber seal]

I've just been doing every one that I have a decent counter for

[calm forge]

Ah, see if you want mystucas only certain Pokémon will drop them

[amber seal]

that's pretty stupid. all high tier raids should drop them

[calm forge]

Yeah same

[final plank]

RL59HF if anyone wants to join a fire pikachu raid within next 2-3 mins

me and my bf need a third person to raid with generally because we can't do the hard 5* raids with npc's lol

[calm forge]

Why you gotta do these while I'm at work smh

[final plank]

everyone is american in this chat it's not my fault

it's 9:33pm here

the wild roaming tera pokemon are so buggy

why do they just vanish but you can still hear them when they aren't there

[strong cape]

delayed but someday

[misty ledge]

poor ryuki
i literally just got mine

[calm forge]

Took you long enough smh

[vivid crane]

maybe one day i'll get it

[strong cape]

i ordered mine exactly 2 weeks ago

was supposed to take 1 week

[leaden lava]

its easily the best in the series

[gray oyster]

from now if a pokemon knows a sleep move in a 6 star raid im rage quitting and skipping to the next day

i am so unbelievably angy

Anubis (@Sibuna_Switch)

I figured out how Arven's shiny-locked Pokémon can be shiny:

The game generates 2 Shellder: a display Shellder prior to the cutscene, and a battle Shellder when the battle starts.

The display Shellder is NOT shiny-locked. The battle Shellder is shiny-locked.

also this

this motherhecker says within the first minute that he likes umbreon the most

[wet halo]

what am I looking at

[gray oyster]

kirby vs clodsire

[wet halo]

i'm fascinated

poor clodsire

[final plank]

save clodsire

[calm forge]

spider man spider man

[gray oyster]

spidops a dark horse for uu probably

it has protect but lowers the attackers speed, which is pretty insane for doubles

[pale dawn]

Oh, that's a good shiny

[calm forge]

I wonder how many gold shinies there are in this gen

[gray oyster]

Tim has a plan for an entire team

Or as close as he can

[vivid crane]

maybe the best 3d game but i feel like lag really is gonna bring the score down, for me at least, but i'm really picky when i play games

[leaden lava]

its weird. ive seen the 60fps mod for the game and it makes me sick

like physically motion sick

[vivid crane]

does it change anything else?

[leaden lava]

i can understand the frame drops being a problem, but once i got out of the opening area and into the wider world, i didnt really have any problems.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRuhzy6Wd7o

😵‍💫

[gray oyster]

60fps just looks weird tbh

I want them to fix raids and glitches before frames heck the complainers

[waxen zodiac]

the person's mod got removed from the site because it wasn't actually playable and caused a bunch of issues

may have been a different one but still the game was not made to play at 60fps

[calm forge]

Caught a shiny Sliver Wing by accident. Would've went right past it if I didn't double check.

[gray oyster]

Nice

[neon bronze]

[gray oyster]

:o

[hushed aurora]

got a shiny ditto from a surprise trade ?????? level 100 too?????

my first shiny in violet 😭

[calm forge]

Nice

[strong cape]

baited once again

[gray oyster]

[strong cape]

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

[strong cape]

[gray oyster]

pokemon is forever

[calm forge]

I got a shiny tyranitar in a 5 star raid from a friend's code

[final plank]

nice snoop

anyone want to do a 5* bisharp raid

[calm forge]

sure

what's the tera

finally got 1 box full

[final plank]

let me just check

[calm forge]

just give me 1 minute catching another shiny tyranitar

[final plank]

ok I lied it's the bisharp evolution snoop

misunderstood my bf

all good

[calm forge]

it's fine, I'll do that too

[final plank]

it's steel tera

lmk when you're good for the room to be opened

[calm forge]

ready

[final plank]

2l5vxc

snoop are these shiny raids

with the gold back and blue stars

[calm forge]

dont think so

[final plank]

wonder why they look like that

[calm forge]

the shiny one I was in looked like this

these are promoted ones

[final plank]

I got in a salamence one that looked like that but didn't know if it actually meant shiny and I'd already agreed to do this raid lol

[calm forge]

if it looks weird when approaching, then it's a 6 star

[final plank]

don't worry guys I'll take all the attacks

[calm forge]

ez

oooh we got a spicy out of it

[final plank]

herba mystica

[calm forge]

casti go on link trade and put in 1888 8881

[final plank]

oop

[calm forge]

shiny I caught in a raid, will be able to catch more of it

[final plank]

oh nice tyranitar too

thank you

[calm forge]

np

[final plank]

hmm 6* steel annihilape

we can do that one if you're still free?

[calm forge]

sure

[final plank]

T1HP1S

need to reset code

Vlmyc7 @calm forge

[gray oyster]

whenever the bg is like that its an event

when the icon on the map has like a white glow around it

its guarentee'd to be a tyranitar

(or whatever the event is)

and violet has salamance

[final plank]

oh I messed up

[calm forge]

uh casti what level are you guys

[final plank]

I'm lower

[calm forge]

[final plank]

and one is an npc but my bf/jelly is high level

[gray oyster]

for a 4* you should be using around a 45 :p

[final plank]

usually it's fine tbh

I'm using a 65 for this one

but I mean

[calm forge]

6 star you gotta be 100

[final plank]

Well that makes sense

[calm forge]

or heavy spec to raids

[final plank]

also it has type adv moves tbh this wasn't my best pick

that's why I said I messed up

[gray oyster]

3* is 35
4* is 45
5* is 75
6* is 90, caught at lv75

[final plank]

I just like challenging raids

[gray oyster]

same its like a little puzzle sometimes

but i rage quit too much recently so im taking a little break

[final plank]

the raids in this game are a lot more challenging than previous

[calm forge]

yeah

[final plank]

but yeah my bf's charizard is one of the 7* raid charizards so it wasn't him who was the problem

I also chose badly

i need to do more raids for more variety

but can't do higher than 5* yet it seems

maybe if it was a party of 4 and I got carried

[gray oyster]

i can tell you the same thing i told joey when he was asking

just focus super hardcore on one mon that can be used widely and just focus on the ones you can ez clear

and then build up the team with the rewards from those

[final plank]

I wish the raid search for random ones was better

[gray oyster]

azumaril and iron hands are really really good choices

[final plank]

I like azu so I'll try that

[gray oyster]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936571666849464360/1050724266930356244/image.png

[final plank]

thank you

been a long time since I did competitive breeding or training but is huge power a hidden ability

[gray oyster]

i try to use liquidation most of the time because 100% accuracy but aqua tail is a good alt if you wanna roll dice

nah huge power is a regular one

its thick fat/huge power

[final plank]

oh good lmao

[gray oyster]

and the breeding bit isnt even really necessary, you can bottlecap for IV and just spend money for pills for EVs

makes it really easy

just expensive

[vivid crane]

check its IVs 👀

[soft monolith]

les go ryuki

[gray oyster]

Let's goooooooo

[strong cape]

FUCK IDKKKKKK

[gray oyster]

Pick the croc if u wanna win my heart

[strong cape]

[soft monolith]

i picked the croc, did i win your heart now?

[gray oyster]

Ye

[strong cape]

[soft monolith]

he also wants it

[strong cape]

[gray oyster]

Let's GOOOOOOOOO

[strong cape]

WAIT I DIDNT GET TO NAME IT

I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON

[soft monolith]

you can still change it afterwards

[strong cape]

oh ok ok

wait you can just do it from the party?

i dont need to talk to some old guy in some random house?

[gray oyster]

Lmao nah y can rename whenever

U can also do moves whenever

[strong cape]

you love to see it

[gray oyster]

Epic

I can get you the other two starters when I get home if you want, or u can just use that one til u finish

(if I'm entirely honest coco is the bestie anyway heck the other two)

[strong cape]

[gray oyster]

[strong cape]

if that's ok with you i'll take the offer! but idk how long i'll be up because it's almost 5 am here already

[gray oyster]

It would be like minimum 2 hrs

Lol

[strong cape]

aw, yea i'd be asleep by then

no worries tho :) ty

[gray oyster]

Maybe you'll be around when I wake up

[strong cape]

[gray oyster]

Or someone else here has em all ready to go anyway

[strong cape]

how do you get the others anyways?

[gray oyster]

Tradin

[strong cape]

bruh

i just surprise traded just to see what it's like and some guy sent me this

i kinda feel bad now

[strong cape]

um.... how?

hacks?

[amber seal]

that's a tera raid catch

[strong cape]

oh

[soft monolith]

07.04. lmao

[amber seal]

wait met on 7/4/2022? lol

[strong cape]

yea\

that's what i meant

[soft monolith]

probably changed the date of the console

[strong cape]

oh lmao

[soft monolith]

and caught it that way

[strong cape]

that's so extra

[amber seal]

t5/6 raid catches are level 75 though yeah

[gray oyster]

i have a lot of pokemon from the future because of time skips

also so much for being asleep ryuki

Inb4 he's actually asleep now and I'm 20mins late

[final plank]

espe why is catching at lv 75 better than raising to 75

I've not looked into the mechanics yet

[soft monolith]

well it def saves time

[gray oyster]

there's pros and cons to each

if you catch a 5* or 6* (level 75) theyre going to have 4 or 5 maxed IVs already

which saves A LOT of time

and money

each IV is essentially 20k, so by getting 4 or 5 you're saving 80-100k, and they can have a 6th if you're lucky

the other alternative is getting a 5-6IV ditto and breeding them

and then just shoving candy in their mouthj til 100
