Pokemon

[gray oyster]

this was a 6IV vaporeon i got from a raid

[final plank]

ahh they have IVs?

does this apply to the teras in the wild too that are l75

[gray oyster]

i have no idea about wild encountered ones

i dont do them enough

but the raid ones are always RaidLevel -1 for Perfect IVs

[final plank]

they usually have optimal natures I've noticed

let me check my dragonite

[gray oyster]

this one is essentially a 6IV Flareon (fantastic is 30/31)

[final plank]

wheres the guy that checks the IVs in this one?

[gray oyster]

oh i didnt pin it here woops

[final plank]

naughty

[gray oyster]

Uh so after u beat the game (e4 i believe)

talk to the pokemon center lady and she'll give you an ever useful tip

and then you just press + in the boxes

[final plank]

oh f you

[gray oyster]

[final plank]

since I cancelled nitro I can't send shit

[gray oyster]

nah i think its just bc discord didnt like how big it was

opened fine in browser

[gray oyster]

you wanna look for the judge button

that'll tell u what they are

[final plank]

I'm right before the e4 but it's a lot easier having that button there like in pogo

[gray oyster]

yeah you'll get it soon

i wouldn't worry too much til post final story though

noticed this little guy is kinda insane too

i like thte way the pla goodra looks more though

[final plank]

goodra 🧎‍♀️

[gray oyster]

surprise trading salamances for pawmots and scatterbugs is always amsuing

if u ever wanna troll surprise trade, catch a bunch of haunters

[leaden lava]

lol

I’m thinking of breeding starters and surprise trading them on Christmas for all the kids getting the game

[amber seal]

I mostly do stuff like starters for surprise trades

[soft monolith]

i should fire up my game and so some surprise trades, pretty bored atm

[amber seal]

one of them I got the grass cat from

[soft monolith]

or maybe ill continue playing radical red

this mod is insanely difficult

[gray oyster]

im trading all my salamances

i have like 2 boxes worth

i wanna get a koraidon through surprise trade that would be epic

[amber seal]

I was telling my buddy how I wanted to keep both my koraidon so I never had to remove one from mount status, but I also wanted a miraidon

he just called me greedy

[gray oyster]

weird take considering its extremely annoying to switch the ride and battle forms

[amber seal]

yeah it's dumb

[gray oyster]

if i wanted a korai i would just trade a masterball or beast ball for it

but i just dont have a need for it lmao

ooh a ditto from japan is a nice grab

[final plank]

I've got a salamence raid if anyone fancies it?

rock tera

what level are these ones?

@gray oyster pinging in case

[gray oyster]

i can kill it for u but i dont necessarily need it

[final plank]

we usually need a third person lol

[gray oyster]

lemme finish this wonder trade anim and i can help out

whenever ur ready

[final plank]

my kingambit is 89 so should be alright

just waiting for my bf

[final plank]

look the stars were blue so idk what that means 😶 ig it just means special

[gray oyster]

yeah its the event mon that's all

when they look like this

its the event one

this is what the 6*'s look like

[final plank]

yeah I figured that out during eevee I just don't think I noticed the plates were gold w blue stars

lol

it was right when I first started playing so

1hvhk6 for a flying one if you wanted

[gray oyster]

oh was afk

[final plank]

just in case you wanted freebies

[gray oyster]

think im probably gunna lay down tbh but ill be on later

[final plank]

all good king

[leaden lava]

😎

[gray oyster]

I tried like 2 breakouts for that and had no luck

Kinda epic

[leaden lava]

I ate three sandwiches and got nothing. I decided to not use a sandwich and after one reset I got it.

[vivid crane]

wtf flowey pokemon

[gray oyster]

Rock flower

Evil baster

[vivid crane]

just like flowey

[calm forge]

rina is one of the tinkaton evos

[vivid crane]

wtf is a tinkaton

[calm forge]

you're the middle one

[vivid crane]

what's the shiny like

[gray oyster]

Brown hammer

That's about it

[calm forge]

the metal is from a shiny corviknight

actually one of the best pokemon for me

[gray oyster]

Someone did a comp review of a tinkaton v corviknight battle and

Corviknight walls tinkaton hardcore lmao

[calm forge]

yeah, the lore is funny though

[gray oyster]

Yeah

[calm forge]

apparently it just uses the hammer as a baseball bat to launch things at it

[gray oyster]

Tinkaton just a big bully

Smh my head

[calm forge]

just like rina

she bullies poor old men like joey

[leaden lava]

damn i literally sent you a DM of the one i named after you

wasnt even looking for this lil dude

[gray oyster]

That's a diaper monke

Always has been

Onion head diaper monke

[calm forge]

That's you

[gray oyster]

me

[vivid crane]

look, in my defense

new pokemon names always take a while to sink in for me

[mighty vortex]

what is the game you have guys

[leaden lava]

hehehehehe

[mighty vortex]

is it the new gen9 game

[amber seal]

yes

[mighty vortex]

installable on pc?

[leaden lava]

wasnt even trying for these, just found randomly while looking for a raid

[gray oyster]

this is actually fire

golden boi in a sea of normies

someone synced || penny's || battle theme to her battle quote ||"Shine bright like the starry sky and become who you really want to be" || and oof the feels

|| I AM NOT BIASED ||

[leaden lava]

the thing that bums me out is that i was on autopilot and accidentally killed it, so i had to reload the save to try again, and i lost my sandwich powers. i found that shiny within like 5 minutes, so i could have easily found more if i hadnt done that.

[gray oyster]

oh i found a remix of her theme that goes a little harder

[calm forge]

[gray oyster]

finally getting around to playing the rest of arceus

why is it always a 2v1 with a spare eevee on the side

its like im being taunted

[leaden lava]

i really hope the next main game just merges arceus and S/V's mechanics together

i want to just catch shit in the wild sometimes

[gray oyster]

oh you mean that mechanic

yeah that would be nice i suppose

[calm forge]

I'm saying these two games are some of the most fun and engaged I've been

[gray oyster]

what if they just like added a "safari zone" type area where you can catch certain pokes like that

but the rest of the game is unbothered

im so underleveled

i had to salvage any points i could get to get access to the 3rd star and now im 1500 pts short of 4th star

[leaden lava]

i think you kinda just described the wild area in Sw/Sh

[gray oyster]

havent played sw/sh yet

[leaden lava]

Sw/Sh has the traditional route thingy, but then in the middle of the country is the massive wild area where you can explore in a more open world way

[gray oyster]

[leaden lava]

i'd also like the safari zone mechanic from the Let's Go games

[gray oyster]

[leaden lava]

that was nice

[gray oyster]

havent played those either

[leaden lava]

it was basically a fancy version of Boxes but instead used for transferring your pokemon go monsters to the switch

but they'd all go into a big safari zone so you'd see them

[calm forge]

That was cool

[leaden lava]

you'd have to catch them to actually add them to your party though. so a rework where you can just go and hang out with your pokemon would be neat

[gray oyster]

so like youd catch the poke

it would be transferred to the safari area

and then youd have to catch em again

?

[leaden lava]

yeah

[gray oyster]

seems counter intuitive lol

[leaden lava]

i think now you can also just transfer from Go to Home and pull them from there

for the most part, the lets go safari zone was mostly just a way to expand pokemon go storage without having to keep buying pokemon go storage upgrades.

[gray oyster]

reminds me i gotta get some of these games before march on my ds

apparently theyre like pulling the plug on the ds store in march ?

[leaden lava]

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/57847/~/wii-u-%26-nintendo-3ds-eshop-discontinuation-q%26a

[gray oyster]

so like if you dont have the gen1 and 2 virtual console games and stuff you're kinda sol

yea

so its basically alr too late then actually

nvm

their excuse for doing it is kinda really fucking stupid too

but nintendo is nintendo

you can still use the xbox 360 perfectly fine to my knowledge

[waxen zodiac]

you can add funds to your nintendo account online but yeah they already shut off adding funds on the consoles

[gray oyster]

wonder if theyre gunna add more virtual consoles to the switch to make up for it

[waxen zodiac]

3ds is pretty easily moddable, I added the VC pokemon crystal to mine

[leaden lava]

yeah id just mod and pirate if you know what to do

[waxen zodiac]

I think bank becomes free?

[gray oyster]

if anything i can just do an emulator but i kinda wanted to have a full like pokemon home dex

which will be pretty much impossible now

[gray oyster]

this team is jokes lmao

paraflinched their slitherwing with dundunspare and killed it

LOL

sylveon is so strong in random battles damn

[gray oyster]

caught 17 pokemon and filled out so many challenges and only got 190 points

[leaden lava]

lol yeah its rough

[waxen zodiac]

i'm like 3900 away from full star it's a grind

[gray oyster]

i almost can't be bothered but i wanna beat the game at least lmao

this is like if you can't continue to the next city unless you catch every pokemon on a route lmao

[leaden lava]

[misty ledge]

new holiday bg is pretty

[gray oyster]

cute

pokego i imagine

[gray oyster]

neat

[gray oyster]

i lowkey really really hate the battle mechanics for pla though

[leaden lava]

i forgor charizard started

[gray oyster]

like REALLY REALLY HATE

if something kills my mon

im forced to switch in

then this fucking gengar just gets another free move on me

lmao

oh charizard started again?

neat

[leaden lava]

i lost 😐

mfer kept hurricaning me

[gray oyster]

unlucky

those AI really love to hit their low accuracy moves consistently

i wish they would've taken data from the first one and made this one a little different

like give it perma sunnyday or solar beam

just to make it fun lmao

[leaden lava]

really love his not very effective fire attack doing 200 damage before i can even fire off a belly drum

[gray oyster]

the overheat rng

[leaden lava]

i love him somehow regaining health

[gray oyster]

its a very common bug with bdrum azu

or just dealing stupid amounts of damage in general

[amber seal]

too much work for them to fix

[gray oyster]

i just enjoy -6 spatk'ing charizard with a light screen up

hurricane did 17 dmg

lol

[leaden lava]

ha ha ha this fucker was literally dead and still got health back

i didnt even do the killing blow, the npc did

[gray oyster]

lmao

nice

[leaden lava]

nope still lost

[gray oyster]

do you need the power of love and positivity on your side

[leaden lava]

i need play rough to actually hit

[gray oyster]

[gray oyster]

this fucking charizard crit me 2 times in a row with -6 spatk fire blasts lmao

crits ignore stat changes and shit

i died

oh i got an ability patch from this one

that's hot

[gray oyster]

(time is in EST)

[calm forge]

someone just got 6 shiny pawmots and 12 sweet herba mysticas in 15 minutes

me

[leaden lava]

what

the

heck

im telling nintendo

[calm forge]

friend kept rehosting a raid and I had the raid sandwich going

[misty ledge]

hacks

[civic bane]

late but CLODSIRE

[gray oyster]

There's a way the host can leave without saving basically that let's them rehost endlessly

People have been doing it for herbs and pokes even patches for a bit

[calm forge]

busy day

[final plank]

hardly had time to play this week

need to do a charizard build

[calm forge]

if you want to shiny hunt something casti, I can make you a shiny sandwich so it doesnt consume the mysticas

[final plank]

I'll let you know tomorrow thank you

maybe marill

[misty ledge]

comm day shinies for today
tomorrow i’m just hunting deinos

[calm forge]

the heck, cheater smh

[final plank]

is anyone able to help with a charizard raid

[calm forge]

ye

[final plank]

are the raids set to come back

[calm forge]

should already be back

[leaden lava]

should be over now

shouldve ended at midnight UTC, so like 27 minutes ago

but yeah this was the second run of the event. no word on if they'll do another run, but its possible.

the next Unrivaled event is going to be Cinderace starting on new years eve

[gray oyster]

Oh

Didn't know that

Fucking fire starters

Where's the MEGANIUM RAID

[leaden lava]

[gray oyster]

https://youtu.be/t4ZI3cYn7jk

[gray oyster]

fyi azumarill gunna be goated for cinderace too

same with sylveon

[leaden lava]

Hopefully cinderace won’t also regenerate half of its health or just refuse to die like charizard did.

[misty ledge]

finally beat the game i think it’s my favorite entry now alongside gale of darkness

[leaden lava]

Time to catch ‘em all

[gray oyster]

That's a bug with how the hp syncs with everyone else and stuff

Notably only happens when you're close to the tera amount or dealing a dumb amount of dmg at once

Like if I knock it over the hp point where it tera shields and then u hit it

On my screen it tera shields but on yours it hasn't yet

So it shows u the dmg u would've dealt but u only did a little because tera shield

Basically what I'm saying is, it will do that again lmao

That's why I think it would be way better if it was a turn based thing instead of go ham as fast as possible but I guess that was bad in swsh?

"go ham as fast as you can" doesn't really work when your net code sucks shit and online play is awful

[leaden lava]

i liked the turn based thing in swsh

like theres no point to an all out attack if you end up still just sitting there unable to do anything because the game is still doing shit

the other day i just sat there without being able to do anything for like, 2 minutes. didnt even have options on the screen before being given control again

[gray oyster]

Yea

[leaden lava]

i trained my gholdengo tonight and its pretty fun being able to reliably take down more raids - like fairy and psychic

belly drum strats got kinda stale and azu really annoyed me after the charizard raids so its a nice change of pace

[gray oyster]

Metal sound 3x or nasty plot 3x does the same thing kinda

I'd recommend make it rain instead of steel beam tho

Steel beam kinda sepuku

Being immune to everything is the op part of it too

[leaden lava]

i use flash cannon

[gray oyster]

cba to hook my stream up but i made an umbreon for cinderace

hp def EVs reflect and charm

gunna just use psychic and moonlight outside those 2

and then tera psychic

so if cinderace sets up sunny day at any point i just heal even more which is epic

basically its just a fat espeon

[calm forge]

caught a shiny maushold was probably the hardest thing to catch

[calm forge]

[leaden lava]

our schedules never align

[calm forge]

Also good luck on me finding another shiny roaring moon

I've only found 2 and that's after 15 total hours of hunting

[gray oyster]

https://youtu.be/PmyaWLvXI-U

HAPPYH0L1DAYS - 50 Ice Tera Shards as well

gunna be nice to get a fuck load of shards

[final plank]

oh do they all come w extra shards?

[leaden lava]

the delibirds yeah. i think just 5 stars? havent tried yet.

[gray oyster]

all the 5 stars come with 3 different sets of 5 shards, everyone gets +2 for the den type + an additional 2 for the host

on top of other rewards which can include even more shards

lol

[inner viper]

I just reached the credits of Scarlet
not sure I digged ||Ed Sheeran||, but the plot had more feels than usual

[misty ledge]

yeah the ||ed sheeran ||took me out of it

[final plank]

I know I literally laughed out loud when it started playing

finally doing some iv/ev training on different mons

got golden cheese string mon

[final plank]

found a shiny oinkologne randomly whilst trying to find the final swords

[gray oyster]

:o

[final plank]

not found a random shiny since I was about 8 playing pokemon emerald

[final plank]

anyone w scarlet able to help me with version exclusives?

and also trade me the paradox exclusives to keep

[leaden lava]

@calm forge

[calm forge]

yeah

just dm when ready casti

[inner viper]

also me~

[calm forge]

I'll trade with both of you tomorrow, just gonna go catch them

[gray oyster]

can also just try the trade codes in the pins

this video specifically

[final plank]

thanks snoop

always coming through

trade codes are a neat idea too

[inner viper]

no i meant that i also have scarlet haha

[final plank]

do you need any ver exclusives from violet mew?

[inner viper]

I'm not a completionist so not really, but if i can help with your collection why not

[final plank]

which ones do you have? @inner viper

and if anyone has a quaxly too I'd appreciate it

but don't know if anyone even picked him lol

[inner viper]

i picked him lol

time to figure out how to breed this gen i guess

[final plank]

I've not worked it out yet either but I think it's the picnic

[inner viper]

yeah

[inner viper]

lemme pick up my switch

[amber seal]

yeah just have ditto + other pokemon in your party and do a picnic, there's a basket at the end of the table that eggs appear in after a while

[inner viper]

so i just need to walk around while picnicking?

[amber seal]

just sit and wait

[inner viper]

oh don't even have to walk nice

[amber seal]

sandwiches with egg power help too

[inner viper]

oh but wait
i don't have the online subscription

[amber seal]

ah yeah you prob need it to trade

[final plank]

oh oof

if anyone needs some violet exclusive paradoxes just ping

[final plank]

@calm forge are you free to trade?

[calm forge]

gimme 15 mins

[final plank]

nice thank you

[final plank]

got in on a stunky raid

[leaden lava]

think its been 15 minutes bud

[calm forge]

casti already got them and a couple of shinies unlike you!

[leaden lava]

youre never around 😭

[calm forge]

I'm blaming u

[leaden lava]

but bubba did it

[calm forge]

I got like 6 shinies waiting that might go to the surprise trade!

[final plank]

pls

[leaden lava]

pain

youre going to end up getting fake shinies with .com in the name if you do that snoopy

[final plank]

waiting for father snoop to bestow upon me a shiny scream tail

otherwise I'll have to train up some dude's EVs for one

[calm forge]

all I know is no one is gonna get a shiny roaring moon any time soon, shit is so hard to get and takes forever even with odds

[leaden lava]

did you do austin johns method

[calm forge]

yes

it's still hard

[leaden lava]

of slowly going around and despawning and respawing

ah

[calm forge]

it's because there is another pokemon spawning always

[leaden lava]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/613568140135104525/1008120256205684766/SadgeCry.gif

[calm forge]

it's a zweilous and roaring moon spawns constantly blocking the shiny odds of each other

[final plank]

when hunting co-op do you make the shiny sandwich recipe but only use 1 mystica each?

[calm forge]

I use the herba and leave then everyone else gets the benefit

[final plank]

do you use 1 or 2

[calm forge]

2

there are certain recipes pinned here where you can mix and match

[final plank]

and you're talking about the disconnect method and keeping the mysticas right

[calm forge]

yeah

so the person putting in the mystica disconnects while the others benefit

[final plank]

and you keep the mysticas

that's nice

hopefully they don't patch it out

[calm forge]

think it's hard to patch out

but using it for now

[wet halo]

I be catching strays out here

[leaden lava]

Don’t know how they can patch it out other than just forcing auto save.

[gray oyster]

i got a good one

[final plank]

oh nice

[gray oyster]

pretty lil guy

kinda useless because i wanted to beat the game with eeveelutions but

[final plank]

just joined this random raid bc I need arboliva with my gholdengo and this dude is sitting there using earthquake

dick

any scarlet users able to trade me skrelp/drifloon/oranguru

[final plank]

pain

[calm forge]

I am now awake

[final plank]

snoop the saviour of my dex

[calm forge]

bro, I just caught one of the rarest shinies

Shiny Maushold with only 3 of them

[final plank]

I had the 3 form as a raid before and doing the 4 form as a 6* raid now

what's the shiny look like

[calm forge]

barely different

[final plank]

lol

didn't realise the 3 form was rare or I'd have saved the raid for friends

least I have both forms now

did you get it from a raid? @calm forge

[calm forge]

got it in the wild

trying to get drifloon, but it's not spawning

[gray oyster]

dibs on the spheal

[calm forge]

Love the ditto and masterball

[final plank]

jiggly best

[south willow]

the ditto lololol

[final plank]

why is scream tail so big

lmao

[final plank]

scream tail supp build is great actually thanks for the shiny @calm forge

she is blessed

[calm forge]

no problem

the only thing different is the eyes

was hard to track down lol

[final plank]

yeah I think the colouring is a bit tinted but other than that mostly the eyes

looks like a vampire

[calm forge]

also kind of what an albino would look like

Flutter Mane shiny is great

[final plank]

is it green

[calm forge]

yeah

[final plank]

any recommended strats for cinderace?

[gray oyster]

basically same thing as charizard at first glance

we'll know more once its released and the moveset is out

[final plank]

completed the dex finally

[final plank]

found a nice shiny vaporeon

[gray oyster]

insane gamer

[final plank]

invented gaming actually

[final plank]

@calm forge for mass outbreaks, do you engage with them at all or just picnic reset until a shiny spawns in the initial lot?

[calm forge]

picnic reset until spawn

if they arent spawning in I move around a bit

[final plank]

do you mean leave the area then come back

[calm forge]

no just move around area

[final plank]

and for sandwich do you turn autosave off then reload if it runs out before you get one

[calm forge]

yeah I save before I make sandwich in case I dont get one

[final plank]

as in the boosters

[calm forge]

yeah

so you always know if you follow the recipe, I save before so I dont waste the herbas in case I dont get shiny

[final plank]

okay that's where I went wrong before I didn't save and didn't get anything in the outbreak so 2 herbas gone

[final plank]

cinderace time

anyone want to try one if they're here? me and my bf are just gonna do one

[leaden lava]

also important to remember: when you encounter your shiny and save WITH IT CLEARLY ON THE SCREEN, make sure to actually catch it. dont kill it or let it kill itself, becuase if you decide to reload that save and try again, the sandwich's effects will be gone, even if you had 29 minutes left.

so always a good idea to put the lil shit to sleep on the first turn, unless you dont care about what ball you use and just throw a first turn quick ball, which will usually catch most pokemon.

[final plank]

bulk up, acrobatics, pyro ball, can't get it to use anything else so far

so special attackers better unless you can stop/negate the bulk ups, belly drum azumarill is a bit difficult without the right support

[final plank]

also thanks for this joey

[leaden lava]

yeah i learned the hard way

found a shiny azumaril within a couple minutes of a sandwich, used sacred sword instead of false swipe and had to reload

[calm forge]

https://youtu.be/FCE91Sd5fO0

[final plank]

man is too fast

espathra my fave

your time is now

[gray oyster]

Oh if it bulk ups I'm turbo fucked then

Poor Umbreon I was so confident in you

[final plank]

we just need to run 4 espathras

and win

[leaden lava]

why did you think a pokemon with a fighting weakness would be a viable option against a fighting type pokemon raid

[gray oyster]

i didnt consider the weakness when making it

i just wanted umbreon to work

:(

i also forgor dark was weak to fight

[leaden lava]

Dark is just normal in it’s emo phase

[leaden lava]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-gif-egg-gif-14731459

[final plank]

let espe have his umbreon

gonna try espathra/scream tail duo today for support and hopefully it'll work

if anyone wants to join or anything at any point ping

[final plank]

someone just joined my raid with an egg

never abandoned so fast

[final plank]

got my cinderace

[gray oyster]

Nice, if it's as easy as Charizard I'd keep farming it for the massive rewards

I still have hundreds of xp candy from it

[vivid crane]

that was supposed to become a torchic

[gray oyster]

Can't believe joey is out here cooking pokemon eggs

[calm forge]

expected

[inner viper]

wait do single tandemaus exist

i know they had some fun with maushold

[gray oyster]

they do not its a meme/glitch

tande is 2, maus is 4 or very lucky 3

[final plank]

slowbro is the most consistent as long as you don't go online with a bunch of dummies

[leaden lava]

I still need to make one

[final plank]

life orb slowbro is good for one shotting whilst solo it should be enough to farm @gray oyster

been farming quite a few now

[gray oyster]

calm mind x3 then psychic ?

[final plank]

iron def x3 nasty plot x3 stored power

[gray oyster]

ah

damn that one shots?

[final plank]

you don't want psychic

can also put psychic terrain up

for the 4th slot if you aren't queueing with anyone to do it for you

max sp atk and normal def EVs, modest nature

as long as it doesn't shield early like the one in my raid just did

can probably get away with 2 iron def instead

[gray oyster]

ill keep it in mind i think im gunna have to wait til the next one though

im back to work after this blizzard so time is short

[misty ledge]

meece

[final plank]

think we've worked out a good scream tail/slowbro duo for cinderace but need to test it more

gets the one shot though

[final plank]

yeah ok it's super consistent if you can find someone else to queue with

slowbro
nature: modest
item: life orb
EV: max spatk max def
moveset: iron defense, stored power, nasty plot, chilled water
strat: turn 1 iron def, turn 2 iron def, turn 3 nasty plot, turn 4 nasty plot turn 5 nasty plot, turn 6 stored power

scream tail
nature: adamant
item: leftovers
EVs: max HP, max def (mine is split between def/spdef but for this raid max def is better)
moveset: reflect, thunder wave, fake tears, psychic terrain
strat: turn 1 reflect, turn 2 thunder wave (unless npc umbreon in which case SKIP), turn 3 fake tears, turn 4 fake tears, turn 5 psychic terrain

6 turn KO, scream tail survives any initial crits as well

it's a good farm w a partner

[calm forge]

I want to get in on it

havent even done cinderace yet

[misty ledge]

hoenn tickets for february secured

[gray oyster]

Nice

Idk what that means tho

[misty ledge]

it’s an in-person event for pokemon go will have shiny jirachi and raids for primal kyogre/groudon

[leaden lava]

solod two cinderace raids yesterday with slowbro no problem and then proceeded to have terrible luck and couldnt win another one for the rest of the day. so much of it depends on getting NPC teammates with intimidate. i went into airplane mode so i can try farming even after the event ends, but man am i annoyed.

[final plank]

yeah I think the best thing to do is reset until you have at least 1 intimidate npc for solos @leaden lava

[gray oyster]

Shane told me he did just fine joining an online one with azu but that requires online

I got the update today and internet is off by default for s/v so I might try it when I get home if I have the energy

[final plank]

just got my shiny finizen finally

its so cute

if I ignore palafin other form I'm happy

[leaden lava]

yeah, once i heard that its kinda like superman i had to have one

[final plank]

anyone around and interested in a 6* cetitan raid?

not sure what the rewards are yet

[leaden lava]

iirc cetitan has a higher chance of dropping herbas

[final plank]

yeah it does

so I'll save beforehand and see but my raid rewards are usually shit

[final plank]

anyone want to do 6* poison garganacl

[lost cliff]

3 shiny Iron Valiant from 1 sandwich

[final plank]

damn

slide me one

[lost cliff]

If I get a 4th sure

Gotta have a special, physical and mixed

btw, apparently certain pokemon have higher rates of dropping herbs from raids.

Dondozo has a very high rate. I got 2 herb from one

[cold geode]

is that confirmed? it does feel the case but would be interesting to see it proven and know which ones it was

i was running around the other day and solo'd a 5star blissey and it dropped me 4 herbs

i can only imagine if i had it as 6star

[leaden lava]

people have made lists of what raids have a higher chance at dropping herbas

https://dotesports.com/pokemon/news/best-tera-raid-battles-to-farm-herba-mystica-in-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet

[cold geode]

Oh I might have misunderstood but not really looking for specific herbs.

I thought it was more like for example, Amoonguss have 10% chance more to drop herbs compared to Arboliva with 5% chance only

[final plank]

iirc it's because the rate up mons can drop all types of herbs, whereas others can only drop 1 or 2 types

so the rate up is higher for mons who can drop all herbs

[cold geode]

rate up mons don't drop any herbs as far as i know

ie cinderace, charizard, etc.

and whoever is with them like gengar, mimikyu, etc.

i only rely on serebii or austin john on youtube for pokemon stuff/datamined stuff, any other sites i don't believe

[lost cliff]

Idk how accurate this is. Anecdotally, Dozo has given me multiple herbs before
https://youtu.be/geL4o-wiV_4

Good sandwich guide (sorry if repost)
https://youtu.be/yesVqZcnIy0

[cold geode]

oh I see

just about being efficient

yeah some mons drop multiple so technically better to farm overall

but they still drop on the same drop rates

[gray oyster]

The sandwiches one is pinned

At least in image form

The one Snoopy is pinned in works but is too many exceptions so I just use the one I have pinned and cope if the sandwich is a pain to make

Either work fine tho

[calm forge]

It works for certain types because the ingredients are so big for some of them, but the burger probably the best overall.

[gray oyster]

Screw anything with more than 2 tofu tho

[calm forge]

Those Cherry tomatoes kill me

[gray oyster]

There was one sandwich I had to make with 6 and I wanted to die

Looked like a Scooby Doo sandwich

[calm forge]

I think multi-player sandwiches are bigger thankfully

[gray oyster]

Oh never done one

[calm forge]

If you get 4 people it's much easier to build

[gray oyster]

[calm forge]

I would have found out more, but joey is up at graveyard shift every night and says he cant play

[gray oyster]

It's all bubba's fault tbh

[calm forge]

it always is

[leaden lava]

man youre not even awake anyway

[calm forge]

https://tenor.com/view/snoopy-gif-8798320

[final plank]

multi player sandwiches are way easier

but for tofu I just stick them on top of each other anyway

hunted shiny deerling last night and jenga'd the tofu

[final plank]

sorry by rate up mons I mean the ones who have higher chance of dropping herbs, not the spotlight raids

[final plank]

I can retire now

[leaden lava]

[lost cliff]

Actually good shiny

[lost cliff]

I now have all shiny violet paradox mons 🥳

Iron Moth

[waxen zodiac]

lmao my friend's first ever shiny is tandemaus

[gray oyster]

damn

how'd theyd even see it

[waxen zodiac]

just randomly ran into it on the way to e4 i guess

[final plank]

id have defo ran past it

[leaden lava]

I try to not think about the shinies I’ve missed because they were hardly any different from their regular model

[calm forge]

https://vxtwitter.com/gngmrkas/status/1612385177032093698?s=20

I do wonder what the point of this sections was

I guess flavor

[leaden lava]

ive never eeven seen that

[inner viper]

oh cool, where is that

[final plank]

it's near lake casseroya between the two tower points @inner viper

[lost cliff]

Croagunk secret lemmings mon

[inner viper]

lake casseroya is the "lake" that's actually a gulf right?

[lost cliff]

Casseroya Lake is so cool except for ||all the Veluza||

[lost cliff]

I say this then immediately get a shin one lol

[inner viper]

that applies to any body of water in paldea

[lost cliff]

They’re such a menace 😭

[final plank]

it's cool except for all the massive lag you get if more than 1 pokemon appears on screen

easily my worst matchup in any game's story mode

i just unga bunga them and hope i dont die

[cold geode]

i usually just brute force those types with iron hands

i would like to try and make tinkaton work

always wanted to use her but not much chances to do so

[leaden lava]

yeah i love her but she hasnt been great in raids so far

[final plank]

don't think you can really plan for this one until the moveset is out

everyone thought azu would be fine for cinderace and look how that turned out

throw pick

[calm forge]

Just gonna join another servers attempts at it cause they've optimized for every Tera type

Also how I've gotten half my shinies

Now working on 4th shiny box

[cold geode]

yeah gotta wait for people to come up with good pokes, been seeing clodsire water absorb though but it feels like the set up for it will be super slow

i normally think bunnelby is super ugly, but the shiny makes it so cute

[misty ledge]

who wants a shiny t-tar

[leaden lava]

omg

[final plank]

finally got the eevee outbreak by medali so I'm just farming it

got 8 so far

[silk sundial]

So like are Raid events pretty much limited??

Like FOMO type of beat?

[leaden lava]

They go in a cycle of like, easy fodder (eevee, delibird, etc) followed by 7 star (charizard, cinderace, greninja) then version exclusives (salamence and tryanitar) then that cycles 7 star repeats. Then the cycle starts over.

Can’t really say if they will or won’t bring previous 7 stars back since it’s only been 2 months since release

Luckily people can just breed the 7 star and trade it and it shouldn’t be all that different from the one you fight if they breed it properly. Only big difference is it won’t have the special mark and title.

[silk sundial]

Oh okay

Im still not in the right financial spot to buy a switch thats why, and would like the ash greninja

[final plank]

oh it's not ash greninja

just normal greninja

[lost cliff]

I now have all gen 9 starters shinies (including 2 weed cats)

[silk sundial]

my coworker told me it was going to have battle bond or something

thats how I came to the conclusion that it was ash-greninja

unless its the protean one then eh

[leaden lava]

yeah its protean

[vivid crane]

didnt protean get hella nerfed in this gen

Generation IX

Protean only activates once per switch in. If the user Terastallizes, the effects of Protean will be nullified.

like wtf

that's just sad

first they (kinda) took away the only thing that made Protean a special ability by giving everyone Terastallization and then they just make it about as good as using it, but now you can pick from up to 4 types instead of just 1 at a time

somehow i feel like they did it because Protean might seem "too good" next to this gen's gimmick, but i just disagree completely with that decision

[gray oyster]

Lmao wtf

How rushed was this game honestly

[leaden lava]

has more to do with the pokemon go integration it seems

and since the sample size isn't huge its entirely possible those who experienced it had hacked switches and other illegal pokemon nonsense but won't admit to it

so we can't really know what the cause is

[final plank]

still need to buy the dlc

broke vibes

[leaden lava]

no rush

unless you want the outfits but i dont think those are going away

[gray oyster]

Wait the dlc is out alr?

no

[amber sparrow]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Growing up, I never owned any Nintendo consoles. I always wanted to try a Pokémon game but never could. A couple years ago, I was finally able to get myself a Switch and getting my first Pokémon game was one of my priorities. But then all I heard was people not being happy with the new games and saying they're bad and unfinished. So I've held off for a long time. Are there any Pokémon games on the Switch worth getting? Anything good for a first-time player?

[errant folio]

Hello, when it comes to the newer games being called "bad" and "unfinished" it's mainly quality wise as in textures and stuff, i played every single pokemon game from gen 5 onwards and can definitely recommend, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, Sword & Shield or the new ones Scarlet & Violet.

i had a lot of fun in Let's Go mainly due to nostalgia and the OG 151 pokemon where it all began with. Scarlet & Violet have had a rough start and quality of texture wise it still doesn't look that sharp as if it would be released on PC (mainly the switch or nintendo consoles are rather.. meh with textures imo) but i'd recommend those to begin with

Sword and Shield are also nice, but Scarlet and Violet is more "open world" and lets you do what u want almost from the start, u can go wherever u want and do whatever u want, OG pokemon games had a certain route you had to follow while now that's not really the case anymore.

[amber sparrow]

Thank you! So does that mean out of these options Sword and Shield plays most like OG Pokémon?

[soft monolith]

no, lets go eevee and lets go pikachu does

[errant folio]

Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl also plays like a OG pokemon game

also a recommendation

you can catch almost all legendaries there as well in the endgame

[calm forge]

new pokemon style is better imo than the classic

[errant folio]

yea

i prefer the new open world style as well

[calm forge]

especially being able to see overworld pokemon

[amber sparrow]

Gotcha, and how do you go about picking which version of each game to get? Like for example if I'm getting Scarlet & Violet how do I know which of the two to choose?

[errant folio]

Each game had exclusive pokemon u can capture there

Version exclusives

as an example

people pick games based on exclusives and/or which legendary the pokemon will be

https://pokemondb.net/

a website i always use

to check stats, news, games exclusives, etc

[amber sparrow]

Oooo nice

[calm forge]

Also caught 9 shiny eevee today

[amber sparrow]

Thanks! I was just about to look for a website for this

[calm forge]

The fun in let's go was the pokemon following you or riding on some. With Snorlax you just hanged on to his stomach while he stomped around.

[calm forge]

alright I got 2 shiny eevee to giveaway from SV lmk if you want one

[silk sundial]

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

If its your first time, then the Brilliand Diamond and Pearl since you won't really care about the design changes and such

Arceus is dope too

Sword was whatever, story wise, gameplay wise, it was whatever, you mostly played it because it was on the switch

You probably won't notice the availability of some of the pokemon so it really doesnt matter since its your first and dont know what to base your past experiences on

[amber sparrow]

Thanks for the input!

[silk sundial]

Luckily, I think some Pokemon gameboy games are going to the Switch service thing

So you should check those out

[calm forge]

Stadium is out

[silk sundial]

You cant transfer on it right? only rentals?

i just transferred my shiny and legendary pokemons from 3DS games to home

[calm forge]

Oh yeah jumpy what's your favorite pokemon?

[errant folio]

overall?

there is one, but it's so hard to get in most games (imo)

and that's Milotic

[calm forge]

Nice

[errant folio]

Legendary wise, Lugia hands down

[calm forge]

There's also this website https://cajunavenger.github.io/

[errant folio]

ah

i'll fill it in

[calm forge]

Here's mine

[calm forge]

At least you agree Typhlosion is best gen 2 starter

[errant folio]

[calm forge]

Poliwrath always been a fave too

Shocking how 3 from sword/shield rose so quickly to my favorites

[errant folio]

for me it was rough

Gyarados has been 😍 but Starmie as well

got shiny lapras out of my first egg hatch in sun and moon

[calm forge]

Oh nice

Mt first shiny was a shiny poliwag so that's why lol

[calm forge]

There are just so many good pokemon now

[errant folio]

ye

power creep as well catching up to earlier gens

[calm forge]

Krookodile still one if the coolest, too bad the shiny sucks

So many awful shiny

[errant folio]

i kinda like his shiny

the green ones

are the worst to me

like dragonite

[calm forge]

The worst to me are the barely noticeable ones

[errant folio]

previous forms it was nice pink and cool

to puke green

[calm forge]

I think the need to update some at least the lazy ones

[errant folio]

how they made some shinies are just... idk

[calm forge]

All I'll say is the Hisuian Typhlosion shiny is money

[errant folio]

giratina, my fav shiny

the color pattern so nice

[calm forge]

Thankful that friends started to find out how to shiny hunt the raids so I can join in and catch some

[errant folio]

nice

good shiny

i never bothered much with shiny hunting myself

can't handle it longer then an hour

[errant folio]

i still liked gen 5 tbh

that's what got me back into pokemon

i played yellow, silver, ruby & sapphire and then skipped till Black & White

i enjoyed Black & White a lot

i should prob continue with Brilliant Diamond to get all the legendaries tho

[leaden lava]

Looks like shadow lugia, but he was never in a mainline game so it’s weird he’s there

[soft monolith]

https://gyazo.com/32dd8d2817db79ce33a21e51f242822a

god I might be due for a rerun of this

i really wish they'd just stop with the two versions when remaking games

like, ORAS wasnt even really based on Emerald, it was based on vanilla RS

just remake emerald! remake platinum!

we dont need remakes of the inferior normal versions

[wet halo]

Bro literally

Same business with bdsp

[wet halo]

Yeah I enjoyed it too but only really cause I'm a sucker for the hoenn games, just felt like the remake didn't do much and I enjoyed the ogs more

[silk sundial]

Hmmm I c, that's a bummer

I enjoyed the machanics in that game

especially trading was so easy

unlike having to go to that plaza almost every damn time

The soundtracks were good too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jXNiy68kIM

and of course, the oh shit theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pkD2czKTjE

The flashbacks when you encounter them in Black

When the screen turns black and then there's slashes across the screen

beauty

[wet halo]

Missing the iconic hoenn trumpets

[wet halo]

Loved the addition of zinnia and wallys theme

Oh yeah one thing oras absolutely nailed was wally

[silk sundial]

MY BOY WALLY

https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-black-guy-gif-17915341

[wet halo]

Actually made me care about him more than my main rival

And his theme is so goated

Felt really bad beating him as well at victory road

[silk sundial]

The theme reflects his development so well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sX_54hHcEE

[wet halo]

[silk sundial]

Him and Silver are my favorite rivals

Barry was whatever

THUD

Was N a rival?

I dont think so right?

[silk sundial]

Honestly forgot how Zinnia plays a part in the story

[wet halo]

Nah he was more of a final boss type

[wet halo]

Err she was post endgame content

But yeah I forgot the story too lmao

It's been too long

[silk sundial]

Delta Episode?

[wet halo]

Ahhhh yeah that's the one

[silk sundial]

I just know a angry alien has beef with a green mexican dragon

Damn, BDSP remixes dont got that kick

especially for Cyrus theme

[wet halo]

Cyrus theme 😩

Team galactic was kinda dumb but he's got to be one of the best evil bosses

[silk sundial]

His theme goes hard

[wet halo]

Best evil organisation probably has to be team plasma for me

[pale dawn]

Hard to top the original dppt soundtrack tbh

[wet halo]

Just cause N

[pale dawn]

Remakes did their best ig

[wet halo]

Also loved how they went from medieval knights to literal terrorists in the sequels

[silk sundial]

[silk sundial]

If they remake Gen 5, they at least need to do a good job on the remix

Especially the Elite 4 theme

[wet halo]

REAL

Gen 5 elite 4 music is peak

[silk sundial]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llnXhrCn9Yo

[wet halo]

God Gen 5 music in general

https://youtu.be/n9V91nM9L40

[silk sundial]

you cant runaway from a battle

[wet halo]

Always love coming back to this

From the routes, cities, battles

[silk sundial]

😭

[wet halo]

Just amazing music all around

Also when the gym leaders are brought down to their last pokemon and the music switches up? 😩

Only thing bad I can say about bw is the rotational battles

Hated those

[silk sundial]

oh really?

I liked them

[wet halo]

It's just one of those gimmicks that you either love or hate

[silk sundial]

I like the special move combinations with the starters

true true

driftviel city theme on 24/7

[wet halo]

Nimbasa city too

[pale dawn]

Gosh, idk if I trust them enough to remake gen 5 and ace it

[wet halo]

The hard part is the originals are already perfect so like

The bar is too high

[pale dawn]

I never finished playing bw, but I did like the bit I did play

[silk sundial]

theyre gonna be on thin ice fr fr

[silk sundial]

I never touched the installments

[silk sundial]

yeah, they should just touch up the graphics and remixes and make it playable for the Switch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ajBL15Knk

The holy grail

[wet halo]

Fkkkk this game is just so peak pokemon

[wet halo]

Damn you gotta finish it

[silk sundial]

iconic moments was finding out Giovanni was the 8th gym leader, Finding Red on the top of Mt Silver, Fighting a Alien with a dragon, finding God in a illegal method, and then this, having a face off with your final boss having the counterpart legendary

[pale dawn]

Might have to run an emulator on my pc to finish it before the actual remakes come out. We should be good for another few years though. I hope

[silk sundial]

When N took out ||Reshiram on the field, I knew I had to take out Zekrom|| as well

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-gif-drake-gif-26307972

[silk sundial]

You should be fine

Sorry mate, hope I didnt spoil

[pale dawn]

Hoping game freak takes their time with this one

Lol dw, it's been long enough that I know how the story goes

[silk sundial]

They're bitches 😭 doing the opposite of what we want

[wet halo]

Game freak and taking their time

I just want some good quality games

The era of 3ds and switch pokemon games haven't been the greatest for me but maybe that's just my oldhead being grumpy

[calm forge]

Oldhead

[wet halo]

Yeah I'm one of those pokemon back in my day the games were better guy

[calm forge]

Rough

[silk sundial]

Dont sleep on the 3ds G

😭

Ngl, I never played X,Y and never finished SM, USUM but still

SM, USUM were pretty good 😭

Switch is whatever

Actually not much joy, just played Sword because it was the latest and even then it was eh

[wet halo]

Xy was pretty disappointing but yeah I enjoyed usum a fair bit

Sword and shield felt pretty empty

[silk sundial]

Nah, it was empty

Even with the shit DLC, it was empty

You remember that one town where the stone hedges were?

I felt like it was there for something, like an event or someshit

but idk,either way, shit was eh

in terms of content

but the battles were cool and soundtracks were nice

[pale dawn]

I liked XY 😶
