#

Like that's some cool stuff

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

how? desolate land overrides it

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

Koraidon weezing team

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

rustic mountain how? desolate land overrides it

On showdown yeah

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

?

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

Does it work like that in any game?

#

Are they able to interact yet?

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:08 AM

#

dude they r not gna make hydro steam bypass desolate land hahahha

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

On the off chance

#

I will hold my breath until I see it

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

I don’t see why protosynthesis wouldn’t proc

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:09 AM

#

"yes these past mons can somehow override the ancient being who literally controls land itself"

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

forest arrow I don’t see why protosynthesis wouldn’t proc

It doesn't on showdown I believe

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

Hmm that’s wild

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

that is weird

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

Which I know showdown is just making assumptions but I won't believe anything until I see it in champions

#

Well technically it isn't harsh sunlight

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:10 AM

#

idk i havent played in those formats but i wonder if swift swim activates w/ primal ogre

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

I think proto will proc

#

But hydro steam will still evaporate

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

And I don't think Koraidon even gets his attack buff

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

just my guess

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

I'd guess that's how it'll work

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

forest arrow But hydro steam will still evaporate

yea

#

makes the most sense to me

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:11 AM

#

But I will always have a pocket gastrodon just in case

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:12 AM

#

gta throw in a bad mon there somewhere

#

classic

#

oh i have xern and groudon lemme pick gastro

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:12 AM

#

Exactly

#

It's actually hard to pick a team of mine that doesn't have a throw pick

#

Might be something I need to change

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:13 AM

#

Tree you have an idea yet of who you wanna try

#

Mega wise when champions comes

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:13 AM

#

exca and mence

#

idk wat else yet

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:13 AM

#

Exca will be cool to see

#

Until they cook it with mold breaker

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:14 AM

#

Exca seems cool asf, I’m gonna play the Tried and true cause I never played during that time besides casually

#

Kanga

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:14 AM

#

yea thats a good one

#

gengar id like to look into as well

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:14 AM

#

I'm interested to see a certain dragon

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:14 AM

#

I hope Bax does well

#

Really like absol Z but it’ll prob be bad

#

It’s too frail

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

Mr. 216 seems like it could do something

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

honestly like i really gta wait and see wat the dex is for the first format, kinda depends wats available for partner options for wat id wanna try

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

But then it could also do nothing

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

For sure

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:15 AM

#

forest arrow Really like absol Z but it’ll prob be bad

i caught a shiny alpha one just in case

#

PCdripsola

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

Same bro it’s waiting in the box

#

pls be good

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

im currently on dozo giri hunt rn

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

the shiny itself makes it 100% worth it

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

I even have an alpha raichu waiting

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

Mega Heatran is someone I got my eyes on

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

mega heatran prolly gna b goated

#

if they give it earth eater? whew

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

absol z’s shiny looks so good one of if not my fav shiny mega

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:16 AM

#

Can’t wait to see his ability

#

Earth eater will be crazy

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:17 AM

#

dense latch absol z’s shiny looks so good one of if not my fav shiny mega

its very good

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:17 AM

#

rustic mountain if they give it earth eater? whew

Then mega drill with mold breaker is going to do gods work

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:17 AM

#

i think dnite mega shiny is also top tier

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:17 AM

forest arrow Earth eater will be crazy

Maybe too crazy

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:17 AM

#

its regular shiny is one i actually kinda like but it always should’ve been like the mega

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:18 AM

#

Should we be worried about mega luc z?

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:18 AM

#

im not worried

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:18 AM

#

i like the shiny as is but yea the mega one is definitely super good

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:18 AM

#

Mega luc z with focus blast next to gravity sableye

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:18 AM

#

would i dislike them just makin that the regular? nah but i think the green gets a lot of flack wen it isnt really bad at all

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

shadow wind Should we be worried about mega luc z?

no the z megas suck

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

😔 😔

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

All 3 of them suck

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

Why does it keep putting 2

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

chomp is abysmal

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

but i think it might be too early to judge since not that many pokemon can be considered insane in a vacuum but rather the metagame which surrounds it

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

#

How do you fail Garchomp twice bro

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

I think I'm clicking tab too quick

mega chomp z sucks tho no matter what

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:19 AM

His poor sandwiches

Mega crab have any sauce?

lofty tartan Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

Crab sauce

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

dont get ur hopes up yall we may not get any champion news on pokemon day hahah

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

for Pokémon day for some news**

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

like its likely but not guaranteed

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

Yeah I’m not I should’ve added the end there first

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:20 AM

#

lofty tartan His poor sandwiches

i hope they got his order right eventually

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

I would just like any news, we’ve been in the dark for a little while

lofty tartan Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

Don't bet on it GarooFingerGuns

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

Why did they give mega pikachu y 160 spatk

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

we should get news, id like some news but its been a year w/ radio silence its getting ridiculous

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

Wait it's mega raichu

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

Like come on man, the people are tired of SV let it go

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

Why did they make them look like pikachu

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:21 AM

#

no reason to have to wait a whole year unless they fucked up and delayed it and dont wanna say anything

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

rustic mountain dont get ur hopes up yall we may not get any champion news on pokemon day hahah

i’ve spent all my hope for news waiting for one of the stars linked with the heat to actually join us so im prepared for the worst 😭

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

vegetaPain

lofty tartan Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

I'm just waiting and taking it as it comes, man

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

yea

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

but if we don’t get news on pokemon day when will we

unless they back out on the whole worlds 26 on champions thing

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:22 AM

#

i really think they intended to already have it out at this point

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:23 AM

#

It kinda feels like it

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:23 AM

#

so the lack of followup is them scrambling to get some sort of finished product to present for like late spring release

#

if they do give us news for pokemon day

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:24 AM

#

shadow wind It kinda feels like it

timeline wise to match up w/ lza and the dlc release i would assume they wanted a mid jan-early feb release as to give ppl time to acquire mons play the games and holiday sales etc

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:25 AM

#

Ah nah I just realized if they make you gather all the mons I'm screwed for the plza mons

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:25 AM

#

otherwise why tell us about champions so far before its release? its not really building hype atm its killing it (more the lack of information on their end about the game itself outside the basics we were shown that led to more speculation then anything)

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

shadow wind Ah nah I just realized if they make you gather all the mons I'm screwed for the ...

well u can just purchase mons w/ vp in game

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

And like what if all the hype for it to flop

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

it doesnt have to be outside the game

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

rustic mountain well u can just purchase mons w/ vp in game

Purchasing 18 Groudons first

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

forest arrow And like what if all the hype for it to flop

this is my concern, vgc is in such a good place atm this really can make or break its expansion

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

Very true

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

ONE MILLION MORE REGULATION RERUNS FOR VGC PLAYERS ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥

take away cart ladder and be very mysterious about the biggest news for vgc players in a WHILE fuck them

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

i dont mind them taking longer, i just wish theyd take accountability and just own up to making mistakes and give us more clarified info in the meantime

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

How do they make something work well between switch and phone tho, like I feel like that’s gotta be some reason for the issues there

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

definitely

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

They're trying to figure out how to make it run on the switch 2 and not a console that will be made in 30 years

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

should’ve just been a switch thing

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:28 AM

#

Because game optimization is dead

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:29 AM

#

forest arrow should’ve just been a switch thing

bit overzealous yea but if they can make it work itll b huge

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:29 AM

#

I don't want CIR rain teams to follow me around on MY PHONE

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:29 AM

#

Oh for sure, take you’re phone to a regional and you’re good? That sounds fire for sure I’m not hating on the idea

#

Just seems like a complicated feat

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:30 AM

#

worst case, vgc defaults back to mainline, best case champions becomes the hub and sd equivalent that weve all wanted for years as the game expands far beyond wat its at now

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:30 AM

#

shadow wind I don't want CIR rain teams to follow me around on MY PHONE

given how overheated the phone would get the rain might just fizzle out

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:30 AM

#

Desolate land? More like my phone about to explode from the 4 3d models and rain

#

Perfect for Groudon

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:31 AM

#

Incineroar intim procs phone drops 20% battery life

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:31 AM

#

Parting shot makes your ringer go off

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:32 AM

#

Knock off makes your opponent fall out of their seat

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:32 AM

#

And I think astral barrage should just send an email out to your workplace

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:32 AM

#

dynamax power comes directly from your battery 🔥

#

kinda how like lamps in videogames use real life electricity

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

Imagine losing on champions at an event and your opponent just airdrops an image of Incin

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

the funny thing is if they let ppl play w/ phones at tours

#

like do they gta go airplane mode? how will that work

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

True yeah

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

do no disturb i guess

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:34 AM

#

Would be extremely hard to monitor

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:34 AM

#

tho i don’t think it fully shuts off

#

idk how they do it for pokemon go

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:34 AM

#

do no disturb? how do ik ur not listening to some1 playcall from close by on ur headphones

#

mariokekhandslike

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:34 AM

#

but in a game like vgc the info you can get through just a message is much more valuable

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:34 AM

#

Pokemon go is less decision heavy so I think it wouldn't matter

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

You just tap a screen honestly

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

Real

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

Way different from a text telling you what to do

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

You time out cause your mom is spam calling

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

Lmao

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

but yea it seems basically impossible to regulate without some HEAVY monitoring which is just not feasible

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

I would be the biggest ipad kid if I ever attended

#

Bring the whole tablet

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:37 AM

#

dense latch but yea it seems basically impossible to regulate without some HEAVY monitoring ...

i wonder if theyd just make ppl use the switches there

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:37 AM

#

Maybe on the phone it’s just a hub and battling is only done on switch

#

cause I don’t see how they pull that off

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:37 AM

#

That would limit accessibility for sure but it would be a lot easier

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:37 AM

#

forest arrow Maybe on the phone it’s just a hub and battling is only done on switch

Kinda like home but with a battle zone on switch only?

#

Lowkey I'd mess with it

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

Yeah that’s an idea

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

mobile champions could just be gateway for people to start playing vgc in an accessible way before fully diving in with switches

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

Like you can buy and work on teams on your phone and stuff

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

or battling at irls is just switch only, get ppl hooked on the phone to want to invest to get a switch to compete at irls

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

True that works too

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

#

still a huge upgrade from now

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:38 AM

Regionals are switch only type deals

the only thing that got me through it is that i went in spoiler free so i got to see the new megas

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:42 AM

Same I think that’s what was so hype for me

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:42 AM

other than that, thirty bucks im never getting back

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 AM

at least they didn’t shiny lock them

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

Yeah for once lol

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

no they just locked the other legends instead

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

Latis are actually pretty good sometimes too

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

terrakions been ok

#

but yea i just figured if i was goin for some might as well go for all, especially w/ the odds being wat they r and apriballs being plentiful

dense latch Feb 11, 2026, 5:44 AM

#

i loved shiny hunting during the pandemic it’s something i wanna pick back up

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:44 AM

#

and u never know, 1 different mechanic or specific meta and 1 of them becomes good somehow

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:44 AM

#

Like adding an orb that is of the red variety

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:44 AM

#

true

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:44 AM

#

Might make a very special pokemon ever so slightly better

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:45 AM

#

conner i worry about ur obsession w/ groudon

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:45 AM

#

Sometimes I look at the screen and wonder "is this too far"?

#

Then I look around my room and see the Groudons littered around

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:45 AM

#

talking about shiny hunting
conner: how do i insert groudon into the convo

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 AM

#

I did shiny hunt for many a Groudon

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 AM

#

I got one from Go awhile back

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 AM

#

i got 1 from das

#

but thats beside the point

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:46 AM

#

Although I need another shiny Groudon

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

Am I crazy to prefer the red

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

i gotta hunt some stuff in das still

rustic mountain Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

forest arrow Am I crazy to prefer the red

nah its better

#

i just like the flex

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

I was dumb and changed the name of the first 2 so I need a 3rd with no name change

#

I liked the yellow with Miraidon

forest arrow Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

Don’t we all haha

shadow wind Feb 11, 2026, 5:47 AM

#

But generally yeah the red is better

#

Although shiny primal
