Indeed I can

[fallen bloom]

@atomic igloo @upper temple @inner birch @sterile agate

pokemon

[upper temple]

Pokemon

[fallen bloom]

btw merc

is there discord

on switch?

[upper temple]

Doubt it

[fallen bloom]

because how tf do i get the sc from pokemon to discord

switch to pc

to discord

[upper temple]

Take a pic from phone ez

[fallen bloom]

fair

[sterile agate]

poggies

oh you can transfer from switch to mobile via the photos tab on switch

its actually fairly easy to do, annoying but easy

[fallen bloom]

So true

[fallen bloom]

@sterile agate @atomic igloo want to do raid schedule for wednesday?

as in whatt types of raids in what order

so we can prep sandwiches?

[atomic igloo]

I must confess I never once used a sandwich

[sterile agate]

I’m down

[fallen bloom]

ehm so basically

sandwiches have a timer

during which they buff

and making them is annoying since you need to buy the ingridients

from 11 different cities

because for some fucking reason

not every store

has all ingridients

for everything

so what i would do tomorrow

is make an ingiridient list

• location to buy

so we have that for wednesday

so that everyone has sufficient buff timer to gain more loot from raids

also like we do 2 hrs of water into 2 hrs of grass or stuff like that

tho might wanna discuss that first what each of us needs

or wants

@upper temple just type what raids you would need or want to do

so we can make a list

also @atomic igloo @sterile agate so we can see what raids we even need to prep for

Also sry for wall of text

[atomic igloo]

No worries

I’ll help as best as I can

But I have tft tourney tomorrow first

[fallen bloom]

Oh all good

Tomorrow is tuesday anyways

[inner birch]

[fallen bloom]

recipe for raids

water

electro

steel

easiest to herba mystica farm

since we need those for t2 t3 sandwiches

@upper temple do you by chance have a alolan vulpix?

[upper temple]

Me no dlc

[fallen bloom]

oh fair

@atomic igloo do you have an alolan vulpix?

[atomic igloo]

Didnt catch one yet

[fallen bloom]

[fallen bloom]

[odd oak]

Oh is it a private one? sorry lol

[sterile agate]

@odd oak is a goat tho

[fallen bloom]

Nah all good i just forgor how threads workes

[odd oak]

I mean if it was made as a private one it could still see it due to perms, so was just unsure ^^

[weary coyote]

Nah I just clicked a button and rolled with it

[odd oak]

Probably public then yeah

I started playing again and got The dlcs imma play over The holidays

[fallen bloom]

Oh nice

@odd oak wanna join me for 5 star event raids?

Huge amounts of xp candy and shards

[odd oak]

At some point later mabe, traveling atm

[fallen bloom]

oh kk

its a metric shit ton of xp candy you get rn

i got 159 L and 49 XL in 8 raids

[odd oak]

Thats quite insane, I dont really have a super optimized one for raid yet so not sure how well id do even, replaying The game but got some higher ones moved over first so could be fine

[fallen bloom]

Oh you need no setup there is so many people doing it someone in lobby will 2 hit anyways before you even set up

[odd oak]

Ah then its easy

[upper temple]

Do any of u hav ha foongus

[fallen bloom]

[upper temple]

Regenerator mushroom

[fallen bloom]

[fallen bloom]

[upper temple]

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023regulatione-2018768594

I like how i used wyrdeer in the first 2 turns, then i just played it super safe to not die

i was also expecting a crit to kill the ursaluna but i lost the 50/50

[upper temple]

The 1 time i wanna use multiple of the same item its vgc so i cant

[vestal vessel]

which items

[upper temple]

Scarf

[vestal vessel]

on who

[upper temple]

Iron valiant and skeledirge to just brainoff overwhelm

[vestal vessel]

you could use a sableye for quash or tornadus for tailwind and invest some evs in speed for skeledirge to outspeed stuff

instead of scarf

[upper temple]

Thats where mercrow comes in but then the enemy has tailwind

[vestal vessel]

:summertimesadgness:

tailwind quash mercrow

[upper temple]

I wish there were more cringe vamp moves

[vestal vessel]

vamp moves?

you mean stuff like drain punch right?

[upper temple]

Ye

[vestal vessel]

horn leech

[upper temple]

That doesnt sound optimal for mr dirge

[upper temple]

My 6* was among us theres justice

[sterile agate]

Dude I kinda wanna restart my sword and shield play through

[vestal vessel]

just make a new profile for a new save file

[upper temple]

[upper temple]

Finally starting the sv climb

[vestal vessel]

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

I HAVE

BEEN FIGHTING

INCINEROAR FLUTTERMANE AND RILLABOOM

IN 8 OUT OF 8 GAMES

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

and lets not forget about both landorus

[upper temple]

Fake out intimidate with another intimidate

[vestal vessel]

so far

as long as i have a good lead

its a 100% win rate

the 2 times i got destroyed was when i sent the worst lead of all time

[upper temple]

Yea i screw up leads/turn1 too often but getting better

[vestal vessel]

merc quick question

if you were facing torkoal and liligant, who do you fake out first?

[upper temple]

Torkoal probably

Turtle op

[vestal vessel]

i just used protect on both of my mons

[upper temple]

But i never fake out

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

OH CRAP, I've been using strenght sap in trick room so much to the point that i thought it was a priority move

i still won

[upper temple]

Beast

[sterile agate]

Wtf

Is that thing

Who puked in a bowl

[upper temple]

Its broken support

[weary coyote]

And why is the puke alive

[upper temple]

Everything is alive

[upper temple]

Rock slide

[fallen bloom]

Thats a pokemon

Gl shiny hunting that

[vestal vessel]

I tried shiny hunting the special mark sinistea in pokemon sword

[fallen bloom]

Oh

Im waiting

For @sterile agate

To shiny hunt alcremie

64 different versions

[upper temple]

I thought about doing that cus i like it but then my brain turned on

I need a lycanroc breakout for shiny dusk

[vestal vessel]

and the versions with the special shiny particles

can you obtain lycanroc dusk now?

[upper temple]

I might sr for shiny glastrier/calyrex when i get the dlc

[vestal vessel]

last time you could only get one from an event

[upper temple]

If theres a breakout it has all 3 forms and theres a shiny locked rockruff with own tempo

[fallen bloom]

Well alcremi is just 7x9 + base evo

[vestal vessel]

[fallen bloom]

=64

Shinys

7 types 9 sweets

[upper temple]

I hav day form but dusks my fav

I also need to go for shiny ha infernape at some point

[vestal vessel]

:smoge:

[upper temple]

I need to think about opponents tera ing more

[atomic igloo]

[vestal vessel]

I saw someone tera their fire type pokemon into fairy

against my steel type goodra

[upper temple]

My steel iron valiant trips up so many ppl

[vestal vessel]

so far my most successful lead is goodra and sinistcha

against fluttermane and something else, flutter mane will always go for shadow ball

and i tera sinistcha into a water type to surive the shadow ball

[upper temple]

Iron valiant chien pao wrecks until they hav intimidate (common as hell)

[vestal vessel]

and get trick room up

[upper temple]

Or they tera and i forget

[upper temple]

Beast

[vestal vessel]

[vestal vessel]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2021063639

[upper temple]

Wut a beast

[weary coyote]

@fallen bloom Btw it worked

10gb isn't that much huh

[fallen bloom]

what worked?

[weary coyote]

The new code

[vestal vessel]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2021475941

liligant gaming

[weary coyote]

My dude looks like such a snob and I'm down to lean way into that

[upper temple]

Randomly found a shiny dratini

[inner birch]

[weary coyote]

"Let's play a game, look for the kind old gentleman using street security cameras" what the fuck thats a wild thing to just say

[upper temple]

Creators run the world

[upper temple]

Thundurus cant learn tailwind

[weary coyote]

Oh wtf Darkrai is legal in OU now

[upper temple]

He sucks tbf

[atomic igloo]

item distribution matchmaking and ezreal AI

riot to do list

ty

not acceptable

[weary coyote]

So I've currently hit 2 shinies

Bronzong and Swablu

[upper temple]

Golden cloud

[sterile agate]

me and @vestal vessel are doing a shiny nuzlocke for sword and shield if anyone else wnats to join up

[vestal vessel]

[weary coyote]

I'll also eventually be searching for trading partners for clearing the dex, and I'll be missing basically everything not directly available from Violet, so lmk if there's anything anyone wants

[sterile agate]

dawn i got tons of shinys if you need some

whats your switch code

[sterile agate]

also i have to corphish into the grass gym LOL

my first three gyms is corphish, mewoth, then im getting sizzlepede inside the fire gym

[weary coyote]

Do you have S or V?

I'm not extremely fussed on Shinies, I'd just rather shoot it out here rather than take the random guy

[sterile agate]

scarlet

[weary coyote]

Oh sick

I'll hit you up at some point maybe, in that case

(So long as you're willing)

[sterile agate]

got leftovers, over leveled my grookey, farming these corphish.

[sterile agate]

and 6 luxary balls because i dont miss

[odd oak]

Im in The same boat as dawn

[weary coyote]

The other one to consider is starters

At some point I wouldn't mind grabbing a fire and grass starter

[vestal vessel]

sword and shield looks so pretty

[sterile agate]

It genuinely looks like a Pokémon game

[vestal vessel]

I'll never forgive people for hating on the graphics just because of that one infamous tree

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

To be fair. If we made a bigger deal about it maybe we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now with scarlet and violet

[vestal vessel]

123 wooloo encounters

[sterile agate]

you got it?

im at 307 corphish

[vestal vessel]

not yet

[upper temple]

U guys got this

[vestal vessel]

I started playing 2 hours ago

[vestal vessel]

260 encounters
no shiny

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

getting close to 400

[odd oak]

I remember someone needing over 3400 encounters for a shiny woolo

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

I ended around 400 last night

Starting back up again

Also I have a full rilaboom

[vestal vessel]

im at 664 encounters

will i have a cinderace before finding a shiny wooloo?

[sterile agate]

Have you thought of your Pokémon nicknames yet

[vestal vessel]

nopers

I only have nicknames for my starters

[sterile agate]

I named my starter release

LOL

[vestal vessel]

also most

[sterile agate]

So it knows what’s coming

[vestal vessel]

since we have to faint pokemon to make the shiny hunt

somewhat reasonable

should we do the rest of the shiny hnts using our starters?

[sterile agate]

I’m down so we don’t over level

[vestal vessel]

also

[sterile agate]

Or fuck up the ivs

[vestal vessel]

level 6 wooloo can surv8ve a quick attack from a level 28 raboot

[sterile agate]

Level 36 rilaboom barely kills a corphish with knock off

[vestal vessel]

what lvl is corphish

[sterile agate]

14-16

[vestal vessel]

ah

wooloos are 3-6

[sterile agate]

I dashed here as soon as I could

And got my luxury balls

[vestal vessel]

where do you get them

[sterile agate]

In the wild area down the hill

[vestal vessel]

sajj

[sterile agate]

South lake mikoch. By the bridge

[vestal vessel]

also i got like 3k wats

from the stronger wooloos

[sterile agate]

That’s how I bought the luxury balls lol

[vestal vessel]

most...

[sterile agate]

There’s a seller for watts in the top end where all the baltoy spawn

[vestal vessel]

you are gonna have a water type as your only pokemon

vs grass type gym

[sterile agate]

Yea

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

It’s gonna suck LOL

[vestal vessel]

dmax vice grip into some bug/flying move

and win

[sterile agate]

I coulda got sizzlepede but it’s much funnier if I get it inside the fire gym

[vestal vessel]

im surprised i got close to 1k encounters on my first day

700 is close to 1k

[sterile agate]

What are the odds

[vestal vessel]

hmmm idk

but i know i have the max odds i can get rn

because i battled 500+ wooloos

[upper temple]

Shiny

[sterile agate]

i also spent like 16K on clothes in the first town

[vestal vessel]

same

okay i ended up my first day with 691 encounters

and almost 10 hours of playtime

but that time is kinda fake because i fell asleep holding my switch

[upper temple]

Need to get better sleep

[sterile agate]

1/1374 isnt bad

[sterile agate]

i think these guys could be related, look at the arms of regidrago and the claws of corphish the resembelence is uncanny

[weary coyote]

So gotten through champion

Not the hardest game

5 slot e4/champ was super easy while I passively levelled up a Shelgon. 4 slot was doable but I kept missing HJK so I gave up on that to save resets

3 slot is also possible if I weren't underlevelled, and with a few team changes

Get in a stronger ice type than Weavile, etc

[sterile agate]

im gonna go to odds and take a break

[fallen bloom]

oh u can just do raids inbetween and be 30 lvl over champ

by the dubious amount of xp candy u get

[weary coyote]

Oh for sure, and I did it a bit to bring everything up to a comfortable enough level to take on champ

Also that free lvl 75 Lucario kinda helps

[fallen bloom]

my meowscerada solod champ

[sterile agate]

My man Larry holding it down tho

[fallen bloom]

and elite 4

tho tbf it was lvl 100

[sterile agate]

My goat

[fallen bloom]

wtf

best trainer

there is

he carried the story

as well as the ending

like area zero ending carried the fucking story so hard

[vestal vessel]

idk anything about the story but design wise iono and larry are some of my favorites

I also like 2 other trainers but idk their names

@sterile agate

[sterile agate]

I am so over odds

LMAO

[vestal vessel]

I also could have lost against hop if i didnt use defense curl once

because my wooloo got really low but he couldnt eat his berry thanks to rookidee's unnerve

[sterile agate]

Rilaboom is level 44

[upper temple]

Baa baa black sheep

[vestal vessel]

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

200 more encounters and you will find your corphish

[upper temple]

U got this most

[vestal vessel]

trust

merc im almost at 1500 points in shwodown

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

Also I think I’m gonna have to change out sizzlepede

[upper temple]

Im still ultra in sv havent played in a while tho

[vestal vessel]

the grimmsnarl that i was about to remove from my team is kinda popping off

[vestal vessel]

why

[upper temple]

I think i should use a phys sweeper or tank over amoonguss but idk who

[vestal vessel]

show team again

[sterile agate]

Maybe if I do it on route 3

But gym farming looks like such a pain

[upper temple]

Chienpao, iron valiant, mercrow, flutter mane, skeledirge, among us

[vestal vessel]

can you share your teamsheet?

[upper temple]

Luck will be on ur side most

Thats effort

[vestal vessel]

isnt it the same as doing it on route 3?

[sterile agate]

Naw

[vestal vessel]

oh

[sterile agate]

There one spawn in the gym

And you have to do another spawn and run from it to get it back after you beat it

[vestal vessel]

also most did you pick up the payback tm?

[sterile agate]

Yeah

[vestal vessel]

good good

[vestal vessel]

[upper temple]

might just be dnite

[sterile agate]

I just missed 4 slams in a row

[vestal vessel]

[upper temple]

Not 100 acc is 50

[vestal vessel]

good thing about my raboot is that he had 4 100 accuracy moves and like 100 moves to use before i had to go heal

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

wheres your second hunt disa

[vestal vessel]

route 3 i think

for applin

ot route 5

or

[sterile agate]

well im at 2600

so im gonna take a nap LOL

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

[upper temple]

thundurus as iron valiant support

[vestal vessel]

I cant even make it past the first bede fight with just wooloo

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

merc or yua go get those free 50$

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

you guys make me wanna get back into comp play

[upper temple]

I got back into it because of them

[sterile agate]

i hear feraligatr is broken

so theres a chance

[sterile agate]

By that I mean I saw a YouTube thumbnail that said feraligatr is OP

[fallen bloom]

Make me a team

Oh nvm too late

[sterile agate]

there is just an infinite amount of dead crayfish around me at this point

its just mountains of shells

its like that one scene from scoobydoo zombie island

https://tenor.com/view/scooby-doo-crawfish-scooby-doo-zombie-island-shaggy-gif-2119914057987656284

[sterile agate]

if anyone wants to battle me on showdown im down

[vestal vessel]

I dont think there is enough time to get a full team

i was hoping you would already have one

[upper temple]

My team kinda bad

[vestal vessel]

most im gonna restart i think, i simply cant beat bede without using items and same goes for milo

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

sign in for fun, you never know what could happen

[sterile agate]

LOL your gonna lap me on first shiny

dude og i think you can do it

[vestal vessel]

no, i already did that

bedes special moves would 2hit my wooloo if i dont heal, and to beat milo i had to reroll timelines

until i found the one where milo didnt use any attack

[sterile agate]

ruff

[vestal vessel]

because even if gossifleur used a move it would mean insta loss

[sterile agate]

i have an easy fight against bede

but idk about milo LOL

once i get the fucking shiny

were you only going for brilliant pokemon or were you checking everyone

[vestal vessel]

every single wooloo

[sterile agate]

fuck same

i was hoping there was something i was missing

[vestal vessel]

most should i delete my save file and start over again?

[sterile agate]

you do what you think is best

[vestal vessel]

or should i continue fromhhis points

restartinhi think

because every single trainer gets my wooloo to -5 attack

like... its a struggle

[sterile agate]

i really wish i took nickit instead of corphish

but at this point im so deep

[upper temple]

Do both

[vestal vessel]

i mean...

you could go for nickit and after beating milo you go back for corphish

[sterile agate]

two darktypes > : (

[vestal vessel]

oh right

[upper temple]

Edgelord gaming

[sterile agate]

if we did this on scarlet and violet

we would be done the whole game by now

[odd oak]

How many u up to now most_

[vestal vessel]

you dont wanna know

[sterile agate]

ngl

[vestal vessel]

[vestal vessel]

OH

[odd oak]

[vestal vessel]

im restarting my save file

so you can catch up

[upper temple]

Idk how yall shiny hunt for so long

[sterile agate]

your gonna lap me

on first shiny

this is getting to carbink levels

[vestal vessel]

what do you mean by this?

i dont know anything about those games

[sterile agate]

Shiny hunting in that game is so beyond easy

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

I would regularly get like 5 shinys a day

[upper temple]

No idea wut ur talking about

[sterile agate]

It’s gross

[upper temple]

Just found a random shiny greavard

[sterile agate]

Lmaoo

[vestal vessel]

all i know about shiny hunting in scarlet and violet

is that you cant actually see the shiny

[sterile agate]

You can see the shiny. It just doesn’t sparkle when it spawns

Like. The Pokémon it’s self has the shiny colours

On over world

[vestal vessel]

thats what i meant

[sterile agate]

Ye

I just broke my chain

LMAOO

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

how can you break a chain btw?

[upper temple]

I hav to hunt dratini because the random 1 i found got away

[vestal vessel]

by entering battle with another pokemon?

[sterile agate]

I ran out of moves. And struggles against a stunky because I spammed A

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

This is truly nightmare levels of hunting

[upper temple]

u got this

[sterile agate]

Oh for sure

I’m just going through it

I’m genuinely excited for some Pokémon on my list

[vestal vessel]

i was hyped because i wanted to use applin

turns out

applin only learns 2 moves before evolving

[sterile agate]

LOL

[vestal vessel]

withdraw and astonish

[sterile agate]

Did you see his new evo

[vestal vessel]

yep

[sterile agate]

[vestal vessel]

https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/plan/#swsh

I useed like 3 sites at the same time

nuzlocke app to check which pokemon are in each area, a site that showed every single shiny so i could choose, and that one so i dont forget what i pick

[upper temple]

My hunts a PowerPoint

[vestal vessel]

im replacing wooloo with a zigzagoon

[sterile agate]

yeah i replaced sizzlepede with delibird

LOL

i think it will be funny

[vestal vessel]

also i dont know if i can actually get

dracozolt on pokemon sword

i remember some fossil items being exclusive to each game

[sterile agate]

ACTUALLY SCRATCH DELIBIRD

[sterile agate]

https://tenor.com/view/dh9511dh-head-banging-on-the-wall-gif-13355825

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

can someone confirm for me

that shinys can spawn in the wild area

without doing anything

like i dont need to progress the story to a certain point or something

[vestal vessel]

I think i actually made zigzagoons go extinct

i cant find them anymore

[sterile agate]

Iv never been so sad about a shiny hunt in my life

It just will not pop

[odd oak]

I believe

[vestal vessel]

[vestal vessel]

I had enough of prankster tornadus

[upper temple]

Based

[vestal vessel]

encore is so op

i basically forced this person into switching 1 pokemon in every turn

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

I also found out that extreme speed has a higher priority than prankster

[upper temple]

Yea its extreme

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

every time i think about giving up on this corphish i think about what kinda a message that would send to other aspiring\ shiny hunters

like give up when its hard ya know

so i must continue

for the new generation

[weary coyote]

Seeing the pain this shiny hunt is giving you is making me glad I don't try

[sterile agate]

I’m at like 7k

Probably more

The odds are 1/1374

[upper temple]

[weary coyote]

Good news I built a shitty VGC team and I'm 3-0 on Showdown ladder

Time to bring this into live

[upper temple]

I need to play thru pla for my thundurus that idek if im using

[weary coyote]

Time to bribe Most for a Flutter Mane and a Lando and pay for the DLC

And then cry because VGC ev spreads are hellish to grind

Like please

[upper temple]

Vitamins go past 100 so its not that bad

[weary coyote]

Feathers will be a godsend here

[weary coyote]

Pokemon Thread

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

all im saying

is my next one

will for sure be

under odds

[upper temple]

Good luck tactician

[weary coyote]

In other news I found a shiny Gulpin!!

If I can do it so can you

[upper temple]

I found it 1st cpl weeks while going for shiny dreepy(never got it)

[vestal vessel]

new thread name

I hope i dont try to get one of my teams ingame

because I would basically have to get scammed for urshifu and landorus

[sterile agate]

@vestal vessel would you be down to redo this challenge in SV?

im still gonna catch this corphish

but i wanna make some sort of progress

[vestal vessel]

sure

[sterile agate]

my goat

[vestal vessel]

but i dont have sv

[sterile agate]

oh

[vestal vessel]

so you would be quite ahead of me

[sterile agate]

ok we stick to swsh

i thought you had it lol

[vestal vessel]

oh if you dont wanna keep playing you can take a break

I should have hunted rookidees or nickits

but im hunting the 5% encounter

[upper temple]

I said I'd get em for u

[vestal vessel]

dont you get like 1 of those per game

i remember trying to trade for urshifu and everyone was asking for zacian or zamazenta

[upper temple]

That doesn't stop me

[vestal vessel]

:Gaming:

[upper temple]

Woo got the dlc

[vestal vessel]

have fun

[upper temple]

Going thru catching everything

[sterile agate]

Wanna know what’s kinda fucked up

I’m genuinely still excited to do this challenge

Like. My meowth hunt clearly isn’t going to be this long

[vestal vessel]

surely

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

@fallen bloom ok one shiny before every gym,

[fallen bloom]

this opening cut scene is gonna take 10 mins

[fallen bloom]

What’s funny is my first shiny in my first Pokémon scarlet play through was also a fletching

Welcome to the team BBQ hot wings

[vestal vessel]

what about our challenge in pokemon swsh

[sterile agate]

oh im still doing it

but im at like 8K corphish

[vestal vessel]

i know, its fine if you take a break

[sterile agate]

i wanna get a switch capture card so i can do my dream stream of shiny hunting and TFTing at the same time

[vestal vessel]

espathra shiny

[sterile agate]

ideally i wanna get to the beach outside of ionos gym as soon as possible because i want to try to full odds a crabrawler

and thats my fav place to look

[odd oak]

Most and his crabs

[vestal vessel]

this would be my shiny team

[sterile agate]

I would love to do a full crab team

Klawf crabominable kingler crawdaunt parasect crustle

[odd oak]

Most whats The rules/stuff u gotta do for the shiny run thing, might wanna join in

[upper temple]

Just have the game

[vestal vessel]

merc

[upper temple]

[sterile agate]

Get a shiny before every gym. Release starter after your first shiny. Don’t use wonder trades or trading methods. And no herba

[vestal vessel]

most im back to 700 encounters in my new save file

[sterile agate]

OH POOR YOU

[vestal vessel]

i think you are going to finish

[sterile agate]

me at well over 8K

[vestal vessel]

scarlet and violet before i find this zigzagoon

[odd oak]

No orders or lvl reqs or anything just shiny before each gym?

[sterile agate]

prob dont over level past the gyms ace

[vestal vessel]

the issue is not the number, the problem is the time that it took me to find that many encounters

15 hours

[odd oak]

Ok

Whats The site for The team thing? I gotta plan

[vestal vessel]

one sec

https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/plan/#sv

[odd oak]

Tyy

[vestal vessel]

and this to look at shinies https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/shiny#gen-8

[sterile agate]

i wish they would release chi-yu shiny

[odd oak]

So much shit is shinylocked in sv

[vestal vessel]

omg

[odd oak]

And how do u shinyhunt them? just murder or is there some tricks with sandwich or whatever

[vestal vessel]

and these 2 would look so cool on my team once they eventually ruin vgc

[upper temple]

Shiny locked mons

[sterile agate]

i do full odds just run by pokemon untill one is different

in sword and shield im doing murder method

[odd oak]

i still got no clue what team i want

[sterile agate]

id love a seviper or a zangoose tbh

@fallen bloom anything we doing for titans

[vestal vessel]

most i won 3 games using feraligatr

please dont ask how many times i lost

[sterile agate]

DUDE IM TELLING YOU

ITS GOOD

oh

LMAO

[vestal vessel]

but im mostly counting the ones where i got to bring him

also im learning

all good

even when burned and -1 attack i still oneshot landorus-t with liquidation

as feraligatr

[sterile agate]

yeah its gross

[vestal vessel]

im thinking about tera flying

to oneshot ogerpon but tera grass is also good so i dont insta lose against raging bolt

okay i just won 3 in a row

you might be onto something most

[upper temple]

Ment beasting

[vestal vessel]

im also playing against some creatures

they have sets that are more "creative" than mine

like i lost one match because someone had max attack incineroar with assault vest

[sterile agate]

does feraligatr get a flying move other then terablast

[vestal vessel]

nopers

[sterile agate]

i am a water tera fundimentalist

i hit water tera, i hit face

[odd oak]

Got my planned team down atleast

[sterile agate]

I genuinely love the cetitan shiny

[odd oak]

It looked so sick i had to get it

[sterile agate]

I was so excited when I first saw it

It’s one of the few that didn’t get spoiled for me

So when I got a shiny cetoddle I was so excited to evolve it

[vestal vessel]

[odd oak]

Well got shiny lechonc after not even 5 mins but wasnt going for it

[sterile agate]

Boutta get bodied in heart and mind against this KLAWF

[sterile agate]

I beat KLAWF through a clever technique I call. Hide and protect and let shelter do the damage

[sterile agate]

Gonna find my second shiny

[sterile agate]

I got one. But it’s over leveled so I can’t use it till 3rd gym

[upper temple]

Most found a shiny before old full odds

[sterile agate]

Took a run on the beach this morning before I left for road trip.

Actual good luck on the Pokémon I wanted

Also saw the biggest and smallest crabrawler sizes

[odd oak]

smol crab

[sterile agate]

Anyways welcome to the team coconutcurry

[sterile agate]

No days off. Welcome to the team crab rangoon

[upper temple]

Crabs

[sterile agate]

CRAB V CRAB ACTION

I joined a Pokémon draft league

[sterile agate]

Will some real Pokémon gamers help me out with a solid draft team with some good 2nd and 3rd picks

Is double battle so I think I wanna play a rain team

With feraligatr

[sterile agate]

i just found a completly random shiny

LOL

im on my way to the steel titan

and a blue voltorb appears

welcome to the team boba?

[vestal vessel]

almost at 1500 zigzagoon encounters

im forced to take a day off because zigzagoon doesnt spawn some days
(they still spawn but they are even more rare)

[upper temple]

[vestal vessel]

when yamper is in the recommended pokemon to catch i find like 2 zigzagoons per hour and vice versa

if its a coincidence then its a really consistent coincidence for me

[upper temple]

Coincidences don't exist

[sterile agate]

so heres my first and second picks, what do you guys think

theres some restritions on psudo legendarys and legendarys and mythics so idk if raging bolt is even gonna get through

[vestal vessel]

singles or doubles?

[sterile agate]

doubles

i might also switch rhydon to a seaking cheese strat with lightning rod discarge

wait seaking illeagal nvm LMAO

[vestal vessel]

i would swap politoed for tornadus if possible

and maybe get a basculegion

but idk the rules

also when i used feraligatr with dragon dance, maushold with friend guard and follow me felt really nice

[sterile agate]

oh politoeds just there incase peliper gets taken first

its a draft league

so we go one by one through pokemon, if someone picks one no one else can use it

[vestal vessel]

im used to buolding a team thinking im gonna play against the same 6 pokemon every game so idk if my tips would work for draft league

[sterile agate]

LOL

basically im tryna grab picks that i dont think anyone else is gonna use exactly

also i think theres trading

so well see

[vestal vessel]

gl most

[upper temple]

U got this most

[vestal vessel]

also i know pelipper and feraligatr get stuff to deal with grass types but you should get something else that resists grass types

either something bulky, something that resists grass or just a pokemon with sap sipper

[sterile agate]

the only good pokemon i think avalible with sap sipper is azu

no psudo legendarys is such a pain

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

like its just

they arent very clear about what pokemon are allowed

and there hasnt been written rules yet

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

@vestal vessel what do you think of aquanid

[vestal vessel]

good pokemon

it also learns a cool move for double battles

wide guard

is entei allowed?

[sterile agate]

no idea

[vestal vessel]

if so, araquanid cant get burned by enteis annoying move

thinking more about it, its actually a good pokemon, hits annoying trick room teams with super effective moves too

not a bad pokemon

[sterile agate]

hmm

i just dont have a surf user to heal him

i guess gastro

but thats so much water

[vestal vessel]

whats your current team

[sterile agate]

but the rhydons

are super replaceable

[vestal vessel]

the first 3 picks of both team are solid

the other 3 are kinda sus

rhypherior is decent tho

[sterile agate]

evolite rhydon isnt to bad

[vestal vessel]

the weird magneton works well with espathra

you cant get farigiraf right?

[sterile agate]

i probably can

[vestal vessel]

it gets 2 good abilities

one that prevents priority moves and sap sipper

it can also set trick room for rhyperior

or prevent the opponent from using it

[sterile agate]

i aint no dirty trickroom user

[vestal vessel]

imprison trick room

i would replace gastrodon and rotom with farigiraf and araquanid but thats just my preference

but gastrodon and rotom can also be decent hmmm

im just worried that your opponent is gonna have energy ball on every pokemon

[sterile agate]

LOL right

i might steel tera the feraligatr

i think aquanid for the grass is good

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

if i cant raging bolt ill 3rd pick rotom wash

[vestal vessel]

most can you battle me in showdown to try something

[sterile agate]

sure

[vestal vessel]

make a 1v1 with just this rillaboom set

Rillaboom @ Assault Vest
Ability: Overgrow
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature

• Fake Out
• Grassy Glide
• Wood Hammer
• U-turn

[sterile agate]

my name is brandnamecerealbox

[vestal vessel]

OH MB

change ability to grassy surge

ready?

[sterile agate]

yeah

[vestal vessel]

okay the calc wasnt wrong

i just wanted to see if araquanid could actually deal with rillaboom

[sterile agate]

try lunge

[vestal vessel]

okay

[sterile agate]

the attack drop makes big diff

[vestal vessel]

its also a 2vs2 so if your other pokemon get rid of like 30% of rillabooms hp

you can just kill with leech life/lunge

or just terra bug

[sterile agate]

yeah

[vestal vessel]

rillaboom would be your most difficult matchup, lilligant and venusaur can be dealt with since they rely on sun and then serperior and brute bonnet

those are the only usable grass types i think

meowscarda too i guess

[sterile agate]

i think feral can one shot most of those with a d-dance icepunch

not ven

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

but lili for sure

serpi does

ill prob be asking to do some double battles after i draft my team

[vestal vessel]

pelipper feraligatr araquanid raging bolt look fine

I would personally replace feraligatr with basculegion but you wanna use feraligatr so thats fine

[sterile agate]

feraligatr has been my pocket OU pick forever

[vestal vessel]

mine was goodra

[sterile agate]

do you think brick someone with brickbreak might be worth taking

does brickbreak break aura veil?

[vestal vessel]

it probably does

[sterile agate]

Idk why I don’t see it more often

[vestal vessel]

grimmsnarl cant see much use thanks to flutter mane and klefki isnt used for some reason

and to use aurora veil you need a snow team so it wont see much use either

[sterile agate]

yeah but ninetails just gets it up turn one

ill put a brickbreak user in my third picks

[vestal vessel]

taunt also works

but you need something thats either faster than ninetales or prankster

[sterile agate]

brickbreak is more demoralizing

[vestal vessel]

feraligatr can learn brick break i think

[sterile agate]

i think id rather run EQ or crunch

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

WAIT HE GETS FLIP TURN

does sheerforce

stop the switchout

[vestal vessel]

it probably doesnt

[sterile agate]

D-dance liquidation flipturn icepunch?

[vestal vessel]

i would replace flipturn with protect

[sterile agate]

hear me out

drop aquanid for azu

get the sap sipper

i now have a switch into an immunity to my two weaknesses

[vestal vessel]

[sterile agate]

so single target water attacks also go into storm drain

interesting

[sterile agate]

Just talking on discord to a friend tryna get to the next gym LMAO
