Mega Tatsu kinda sucks

[chrome knot]

im just not sure what you’re expecting

any limited range format can just be chalked up to “reg h” lmao

[molten oasis]

Like it’s fine in a vacuum

[molten oasis]

The meta of reg h was all over prechamps, that’s what I was talking about

[cyan smelt]

Are you worried about arch rain dominating again

Or one archetype dominating

[molten oasis]

Well we know incin sneasler arch and Ursa are in champions, which are staples of reg h

(Incin and Ursa are always staples tbf)

[chrome knot]

prechamps isnt a real format

[molten oasis]

But just from the little while of playing the pre champs format (for what we know of idk whah the actual format will be) it was mostly reg h cores+mega

Yeah I know, im hoping for a za dex format first

[chrome knot]

instead of dooming and speculating we couuullllddddd wait 2(two) whole days

yay!

[molten oasis]

Idk if we’ll have a format in 2 days

Just like, what’s in the game

And I say reg h 3.0 as a joke I don’t actually expect that

[cyan smelt]

Don't give them ideas drago 😭

[molten oasis]

Well, it doesn’t matter to me I’ll end up playing it anyway

I think it’ll be a za dex format first, but we won’t know until reg m-a is announced

Smth like reg a in sv would be fun

[chrome knot]

the entire point of the game maaaay be battling

so maybeeeeee we can play yhe game and battle!!! and figure it out

you don’t travel for events you have 0 time pressure

[cyan smelt]

Will there be rental pokemon in case i don't feel like finishing za

[molten oasis]

I can’t.

I would travel if I could

But I can’t.

[chrome knot]

there is a whole recruiting system

[cyan smelt]

I've got stuff on that i already committed to for the next australian regional

[solid frigate]

Even in your own country the accommodations are gonna be hefty

[molten oasis]

I’m a pretty busy person anyway, it’s not like I could

And frankly my time for champions will be limited anyway, I play everything on showdown so I care when we get a format so that I get to play the game.

Otherwise, I spend my time elsewhere since I cant be a serious competitor

[chrome knot]

game release in 2 days, new format🤩

[molten oasis]

I hope so

That be lit

[molten oasis]

Meh

Flights aren’t too bad

Hotels aren’t too bad either but it adds up

I just pay rent now so I can’t really be spending too much

Maybe someday when I have a better job I could tho

[cursive sonnet]

Never really got why hail being changed to snow was such a big change for the better? Can someone explain please.

[cyan smelt]

Increases def for frail ice types

[molten oasis]

Defense buff and no hail chip

[cursive sonnet]

Oh? Thought it was a def boost in hail too

[molten oasis]

Nope

[cyan smelt]

Allows a9 to wear focus sash

[molten oasis]

That was a Gen 9 thing

[molten oasis]

Ice types weren’t affected.

[cyan smelt]

Oh oops

[molten oasis]

Love me some snow teams

[cyan smelt]

Oh yeah that's right, a9 and gholdengo are good together right

[molten oasis]

Yeah, a9 chomp is one of my favorite duos to run

When they’re, good in the meta

[cyan smelt]

I'm just gonna look for well performing balance teams

If smeargle is legal all the better because i live for that annoyance factor

[versed river]

why are we shortening alolan ninetales to a9 that just sounds like arcanine 😭

[chrome knot]

unite lol

[warm estuary]

I already miss ogerpon tbh

https://tenor.com/view/ogerpon-my-beloved-teal-mask-gif-12058198746172826119

[waxen dock]

thats rk9

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2026regibo3-2576427602-nu18erdo16eua8y8wagfik9nm24k65tpw

[cyan smelt]

i need to look up that team with smeargle, csr and zama

[cyan smelt]

hm, bolt, torn, csr, zama, rilla, smeargle

[upper zealot]

i wonder what they were called back in 2017 when they were both relevant

[versed river]

probably Arcanine and Alolan Ninetales

[upper zealot]

too long

abbreviations needed

[molten oasis]

Alolan (a) Ninetales (9)

Pokemon Champions Stats (@VGChampStats)

Here are the top win rates on the custom Pokemon Showdown Pre-Champions VGC ladder!

Data taken from 15,388 public replays.

Are these potential anti-meta picks? Or just carried by a few strong players?

X · Apr 6, 2026, 4:59 PM

lmfao

[lost sun]

don't think I've seen a single one of those Pokémon other than absol meowstic and tats

[empty saddle]

just beat number 1 on the ladder in gen 6 randbats waow

[chrome knot]

aerodactyl & orthworm are real its dumb lmao

[foggy lodge]

How good is base Aerodactyl

I know Mega Aerodactyl ain't bad but how is the base one

[lost sun]

does it get used as a fast support Mon with rockslide

[molten oasis]

Guys we were wrong about scovillain

[rustic mountain]

[hollow latch]

wait can u guys play the champion format on showdown?

[lost sun]

ye

[hollow latch]

the link doesnt work for me lol

[rustic mountain]

theres a psuedo half baked format that they made

[lost sun]

why didn't snow get set up even tho it is the ability

[hollow latch]

ik i played it but cant join it anymore

[rustic mountain]

not sure, might just b down atm?

[lost sun]

I was just on it worked for me

[rustic mountain]

i havent even bothered trying it cuz its like, 80 mons

[hollow latch]

weird

[rustic mountain]

dont know most new mega abilities, just seems kinda eh

[rustic mountain]

u hav snow warning as its ability?

[lost sun]

the leaks that SD uses also got the abilities of excadrill and scovillain so they could be right

[lost sun]

ye I swapped it out then parting shot it back in so I could get the snow back up as they set up sand

[foggy lodge]

With unconfirmed megas abilities

If you are commiting to a mega without its ability confirmed you should be getting payed

[rustic mountain]

sure but then im also seeing exca might not even b allowed off rip so why do i care on a format that is not gna b reflective of whats likely gna b allowed

[rustic mountain]

weird then

[rustic mountain]

i mean i think sco and exca prolly get those abilities (mostly exca) but even then like its just not enough haha

[lost sun]

I won the game anyway so not too bothered rn but could be annoying if it happens again

[rustic mountain]

i think theres quite a few mons they will or wont allow that can def impact what peoples anticipated meta even is, i get it ppl wanna not play sv i just would want to actually start w/ a format ik is legit, i learned the hard way pre sv w/ wat ppl expected vs what we got 1st format

[foggy lodge]

I like that the whole meta in showdown falls apart depending on Amoonguss or Gholdengo being allowed or not

[rustic mountain]

hahaha

i wish i spent less time goin for a 0 atk shiny alpha gimmighoul (didnt even get it) w/ ivs being booted

[empty saddle]

(i peaked at number 3, im washed now)

[rustic mountain]

randbats is pretty tough haha 3 is awesome

[empty saddle]

think i peaked top 50 in gen 8, havent got over like 1600 in gen 9 lmao

[rustic mountain]

i hit like 1800s as my peak for gen 9 randbats

then proceeded to tank down to 1400s

[empty saddle]

i might have to start going hard at gen 9

ive just forgotten all the sets

[rustic mountain]

yea i need to figure that out, im like surely they dont have x move and then they do

mdb knows like every single randbats set its wild

[empty saddle]

to this day my favourite set of all time is belly drum linoone from gen 8

i swear i have like 100% win rate whenever i got that lmao

[rustic mountain]

linoone the goat

[empty saddle]

fr

[rustic mountain]

gen 3 stays winning

[empty saddle]

belly drum unburden slurpuff is fun too

lowkey any unburden mon is always broken

[rustic mountain]

tru unburden in singles is usually pretty great

[empty saddle]

one day id love to try and host a randbats tournament here

[sudden remnant]

weve seen unburden be good in doubles too

https://tenor.com/view/sneasler-pokemon-violet-pokemonviolet-legends-arceus-legendsarceus-gif-10599706881205760821

[hollow latch]

btw can u only get sneesler from legends or go?

[lost sun]

I think so

[hollow latch]

damn

[hollow latch]

https://replays.vgcpast.es//Gen9Pre-ChampionsVGC/Gen9Pre-ChampionsVGC_olliekennedy1_kbwspotted_battle-gen9prechampionsvgc-551662.html

Damn adap basc feels noice thoo

sill got figure out my six spot. i could sneasler but really wanna play with a mega

any recommendation. maybe a guy that could counter sun teams

[versed river]

you can get one for a fletchling on the gts

[hollow latch]

[versed river]

[hollow latch]

idk its my country doesnt support it xD

[versed river]

https://x.com/FrontierDaycare

Frontier Daycare (@FrontierDaycare) on X

The Frontier Daycare is a community project to distribute pokemon to those in need for pokemon champions

X

[hollow latch]

[versed river]

damn

[hollow latch]

btw if i wanna transfer stuff from go do i need the home app too?

had some problem about it and couldnt fix it

[versed river]

for go i think so but ive never done it tbh

[novel fjord]

How good is mimikyu as a TR setter

[rustic mountain]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3jKMXkWQAM3Hfd.jpg

[sudden remnant]

[sudden remnant]

no.

you can breed a hisuian sneasel in SV

and evolve it normally with its held item

[chrome knot]

ok but how do you get it into sv

[sudden remnant]

grab a regular sneasel

give it an everstone

boom your done

[chrome knot]

itd stay as regular sneasel

[sudden remnant]

if bred while holding an everstone it will give a hisuian variant (if there is one)

[sudden remnant]

it wouldnt ive done it

[chrome knot]

tf

[bold geode]

So what you're saying is you're impartial to French Toast

[sudden remnant]

breeding is my thing trust me i know

sneasel woth an evertstone bred gives you hisuian sneasel

[hollow latch]

btw trading from gts

can they be genned?

[chrome knot]

if ur using frontier daycare no

[hollow latch]

what is that?

[sudden remnant]

if you’re using the normal gts unfortunately tes

[chrome knot]

a vgc initiative to distribute popular vgc pokemon

into the gts put in a fletchling for a sneasler

[hollow latch]

damn

[sudden remnant]

i might not be good at vgc but i know my breeding stuff

[hollow latch]

never breed in my life and i think i have a really good shiny legit ditto lol

dont know how it even works in violet xD

[rustic mountain]

its kinda similar to swsh only its a lot worse

[sudden remnant]

true

they did make getting egg moves easier so thats a plus i guess

[rustic mountain]

swsh breeding was peak

[rustic mountain]

there were some solid qol updates picnics r just too stop and go for me

[sudden remnant]

anyone want a hatenna with nuzzle and mystical fire

[rustic mountain]

i liked hatching while collecting more eggs

[sudden remnant]

i have 5 boxes of them

[rustic mountain]

lmao im good but thx

[sudden remnant]

(i wanted a shiny which i did end up getting)

[rustic mountain]

nice

dont even hav to breed for 0 speed anymore

[sudden remnant]

hatterene’s shiny is beautiful btw i do not regret the 2 weeks i spent shiny hunting her

[sudden remnant]

OH TRUE

CUZ NO MORE IVS

[rustic mountain]

look what they took from us

[sudden remnant]

so what are breeders like me good for anymore 🙁

no more ivs 🙁

[rustic mountain]

i wonder what winds and waves is gna do

[sudden remnant]

i really gotta lock in on battling cuz my job of breeding has been robbed by Game Freak themself taking Ivs awaya

[fiery nacelle]

feed a lot of starving poketubers

[rustic mountain]

me bringing my decent and pretty good iv mons into champions cuz ivs dont matter

[rustic mountain]

yea but for breeding specifically i wonder if they keep it

[sudden remnant]

exactly so what are breeders for anymore we arent needed for iv strats

[rustic mountain]

idk

[sudden remnant]

ai took my job away

[rustic mountain]

its not ai tho

[sudden remnant]

its a platform

champions stole my job

[rustic mountain]

there we go

[sudden remnant]

ive only been breeding for myself but yk

[rustic mountain]

im dch man i might b out of a staff role

[sudden remnant]

then again did any of you even know i did pokemon breeding

[rustic mountain]

only after uve mentioned it a billion times

[sudden remnant]

so no

[rustic mountain]

[sudden remnant]

there are still some mons i need to give some other mons some of their egg moves but im getting there

[rustic mountain]

dude

egg moves r just gna b in champions

[sudden remnant]

i know

[rustic mountain]

i guess u save some vp for not changing moves

but its not a lot for move changes iirc

[sudden remnant]

also true

but like if i trade in a shiny already having nature ability and moves im set i just gotta do the evs or “sp” same difference

will save me a lot of vp for other things

[hollow latch]

if i get a sniebel that has the pokemon go stamp can it still be genned or is it harder?

[sudden remnant]

i ev trained my mienshao and my mienshao soloed the SV elite 4

[rustic mountain]

whose sniebel

idk go stamp much, i think at one point it was pretty solid at meaning nobody did anything but idt thats the case anymore

better to ask in #hackcheck_discussion

[hollow latch]

thanks

[chrome knot]

snieboss

[chrome knot]

not genned

[hollow latch]

perfect

now gotta level some shinys and sniebel and i am ready for champs

[lost sun]

I got a shalpha charmander

sun team locked in for champs

[sudden remnant]

nice

[hollow latch]

noice hope we can see some heights changes but i think would be too much to ask

only thing i search is for shiny arch or golispod

[sudden remnant]

i still need a shiny Umbreon

[hollow latch]

i got a shiny eve from go

legit i would trade it

[sudden remnant]

🙁

[sudden remnant]

IT LEARNS ICE SPINNER?

I COULD HAVE MADE LARRY SO MUCH EASIER

i was using inaccurate rock tomb the whole time

i coulda run ice spinner

[sudden remnant]

I HATE IT HERE AGGHHHHHH

i didnt buy revives and failed against larry like 10 times before i decided to just reset and fully ev my mienshao and then it swept the entire elite 4 after i did with fake out uturn drain punch and rock tomb

[vernal cipher]

Can I get some feedback on this doubles team? (I have been made aware that Incin no longer learns Knock Off and will be making that adjustment)
https://pokepast.es/68bda3b446d37a17

[lost sun]

we don't know if rillas in the game yet

[sudden remnant]

incin will probably just tun throat chop or darkest lariat now ig and yeah no confirmation on rilla

[dense latch]

https://x.com/gazemilyy/status/2041168888499724291?s=20 so this was the reason emilio's cir got intimidated on stream lmao

emily (@gazemilyy)

despite my extraordinary innate ability to throw the most abc 123 basic winning positions for no reason im happy with t8 ggs. played with amulet coin caly for my first 5 rds without noticing and got intimidated on stream ✌️😭

X · Apr 6, 2026, 2:59 PM

[chrome knot]

LMFAO

[dense latch]

should get extra prize money for it ngl

[rustic mountain]

amulet coin, clear amulet, same thing

[rustic mountain]

would b funny if u won a tour w/ amulet coin u win double the prize money

[sudden remnant]

LMAO

[foggy lodge]

my biggest question is

How did he not get a round loss or directly dq'd because of that lmao

[sudden remnant]

just no one noticed???

[foggy lodge]

It couldn't have been that cuz it even happened on stream LMAO

[sudden remnant]

i imagine in team preview it said clear amulet

anyways uh amulet coin ice rider new meta strat

[bold geode]

How did they not catch that LMAO

[wild stream]

why would you get dq'd for trying to double the prize money?

[sudden remnant]

no

youd get dq’d for having the incorrect item on a mon

a different item than it says on the team preview sheet

they had an amulet coin not a clear amulet

and they wouldnt get double
prize money anyways its a joke about the amulet coin

YO WHEN DID LEGENDS ZA COMPATIBILITY WITH HOME HAPPEN

[rustic mountain]

almost a week ago where hav u been

[sudden remnant]

working and playing league of legends

🙁

oh and playing oras on my 3ds

[molten oasis]

[sudden remnant]

yeah yeah whatever

how do i use the hackcheck thing i dont wanna trade this pokemon to someone if its fake but idk how the thing works

[next stump]

https://tenor.com/view/ryze-leagueoflegends-hacks-gragase-itsmytimetoshine-gif-19218809

[chrome knot]

gifs to keep your virginity safe to

[sudden remnant]

true

[sudden remnant]

very true

[bold geode]

So work and torture

[sudden remnant]

you mean torture and torture

cuz there is no difference between this picture and this picture

[bold geode]

I'd rather do a 48 hr shift at Walmart than play a singular game of League of Legends

[sudden remnant]

id rather play 72 straight hours of league of legends than an 8 hour shift of fast food

my problem is i hate people and i work in customer service

im a manager im the one that ACTUALLY has to deal with people

and i hate it

and the pay isnt even worth it

[stuck perch]

I can't post pics lame

E10 bypass

[rustic mountain]

same amount of time anyway

[grand spire]

why does champions have to release when im drowned in schoolwork 😔

[rustic mountain]

[winter fox]

If they actually let us have a draft pick on what mons can and can't be used for co-op private player rooms Champions might be good

Fuck Sneasler all my homies hate Sneasler

[sudden remnant]

i like it design wise but idk if i plan on using it

[lost sun]

i swear dire claw has an increased chance to sleep when u lose if it does

[sudden remnant]

grammar left the chat

[winter fox]

Day 1 of Champions and it's a team of Hisui Samurott,Great Dusk,Gholdengo,Rillaboom and Raging Bolt

https://tenor.com/view/eren-laughing-crying-screaming-aot-gif-9083429954563781026

[sudden remnant]

rilla isnt confirmed

and paradox wont be legal day 1 i HIGHLY doubt theyll be legal right away

[winter fox]

Any mon can be transferred as long as they are fully evolved

Except for mythicals,legendaries,and paradox forme

[sudden remnant]

ALSO WHATCHU MEAN SAMUROTT WHAT DID MY BOI DO

[sudden remnant]

so no paradox still

[winter fox]

Exist

[sudden remnant]

free my boi

[rare pumice]

is throat spray used in singles formats or is it better in doubles?

[rustic mountain]

we have like 3 ppl here who play singles and they all pop in irregularly

even in doubles its more specific to certain mons and isnt even usually the dominant set (sylveon, primarina, farigarif)

cant imagine its chosen much in singles

[wild stream]

if you're desperate

Kommo-o runs it as a special case

[solid frigate]

It’s has lesser usage in singles from my knowledge and my friend’s experience

[sudden remnant]

is there a fangame where ever battle is a double battle

doubt it but i wanna ask anyways

[waxen dock]

I lost a bo3 cuz the 2 games i lost i lost to 3 speed ties

[sudden remnant]

happens lmao

[sharp cobalt]

Less than 24h remain

[waxen dock]

champion releasing in nz in 2.5 hours

we will finaly have the mega abilities

[supple latch]

We’re almost arriving at the stadium of Champions

[supple latch]

U live in New Zealand?

[weak holly]

yo I need to complete my Pokédex in let’s go pikachu I have all except the eevee exclusives, I know this is the wrong channel but I haven’t ever talked here, could someone guide me to the correct channel or server or whatever? Thank you!

[solid frigate]

@shadow wind what the fuck is your lizard doing-

[cyan smelt]

Taking a swim

[rare pumice]

i think it's been long enough that gamefreak gives archeops a hidden ability, and made that hidden ability unburden

[tribal vortex]

Nah, that's too good of an ability for Gamefreak to consider. They would give it Slow Start instead

[rare pumice]

it would make such perfect sense thoughhh, after years of its self-sabotaging attitude, it finally becomes unburdened of its inner demons

[leaden fox]

Give Archeops a Mega and give it Intimidate 🤣

[waxen dock]

Wait

There is global release date for champions?!

[thorny shadow]

Whatever Pokemon is sent to champions is stuck there for now since there's no backwards compatibility

But could they make it so I can't pull them into winds and waves

That's impossible right

[hollow latch]

We dont know yet

I think

Technically 4am BST, but yeah

[waxen dock]

So its releasing 7 am for mr

Me

[leaden fox]

Sounds right if so

[waxen dock]

When is it realeas8ng for you?

[leaden fox]

4am

UK player here

Though I know I won’t be playing it at 4am; likely won’t be until maybe 10/11am since I will be planning to stream it and need to wake up, etc 😂

[chrome knot]

11pm grind session

[leaden fox]

I’ll have to make sure to box some of my mons from ScarVio and Z-A without question though

That’ll be a 10 mins job mind you

[tribal vortex]

It would, but we seen how Gamefreak also give horrible abilities to mons that deserve better

[sharp cobalt]

Ive an intriguing question, are titles in the game/

[chrome knot]

yes

[sharp cobalt]

Grabs CHosen One Skarm. Letsgo!

Interesting. Gen 8 starters arent in?

[chrome knot]

the dex isn’t finalized

because yaknow, the game isn’t out yet

[sharp cobalt]

Available pokemon so far lists all starters eexcept gen 8, its kinda notable

Ah gen 3 also isnt in the list yet I assume

[chrome knot]

because the game isn’t OUT YET

[thorny shadow]

This got me crashing out

If they skip gen 3 it's gonna be wild

[sharp cobalt]

Its interesting how so far we've seen all starters except gen 3 and 8 no?

Especially considering gen 3 has megas and gen 8 has gmax

[thorny shadow]

Gen 8 starters suck who cares

[sharp cobalt]

Rillaboom

[thorny shadow]

In terms of being loved

[sharp cobalt]

I know a Cinderace lover and an Inteleon lover

[thorny shadow]

Ok every Pokemon is someone's favorite I guess

But gen 3 are like some of the most popular

[sharp cobalt]

Cinderace isnt their fave, its their 2nd face

[chrome knot]

overhyped garbage is gen3 ngl

the worst region by a lot

[sharp cobalt]

Too much water?

[thorny shadow]

Now this is wild remember we are talking just starters

Blaziken Swampert and Sceptile might be the best trio

[sharp cobalt]

I wish Sceptile were better in comp

[chrome knot]

no not rly

3 mons i rly don’t care abt

[sharp cobalt]

Good thing people are allowed their opinions!

[thorny shadow]

Name a better starter trio other than kanto starters

[chrome knot]

1 niche pick, 1 only useable in a mega format, 1 not even worth looking at

[sharp cobalt]

Ngl Im not a fan of the Kanto starters

[chrome knot]

gen7 lmao

[thorny shadow]

Not just competitive viability

[chrome knot]

gen7 has primarina which solos gen3 lmao

[thorny shadow]

Really the stupid cat

[chrome knot]

incin is also jus cool

decidueye is tuff asf

[thorny shadow]

Well if it's like that midkip wins everytime

[thorny shadow]

Nobody thinks that

[sharp cobalt]

Looks at Wolfe

[thorny shadow]

The cat needs to burn in hell

[sharp cobalt]

Mediocre competitive, twice

[chrome knot]

im not interested in casuals who are scared of incineroar

obviously like you lol

[thorny shadow]

So wolf is casual

[sharp cobalt]

According to this world champ, yep

[chrome knot]

its featured on 90% of his teams

[thorny shadow]

It's cancer pokemon with shit design

[chrome knot]

good mon, cool mon

[thorny shadow]

A cat that stands up on two legs and wrestles

[thorny shadow]

That's terrible for a healthy game 😂

[chrome knot]

comp discussion became tourist destination thats tough

[chrome knot]

me when a game has a meta

and im drooling all over my keyboard bc i dont like it

urhfhffhrjrhheh noooo don’t be meta please

[sharp cobalt]

Why are you gatekeeping when champions is supposed to make something more available to a wider public

[thorny shadow]

No Imagine playing lol or ow or anything and you have to run one character only

[chrome knot]

im not gatekeeping i think the casual mindset is cringe to read

[thorny shadow]

90% of players run the same character that's terrible

[sharp cobalt]

Me, a lol player:

[chrome knot]

Kiriko has been meta since release what are u talking abt

[thorny shadow]

I don't play it it's just an example with game that has characters

[thorny shadow]

Yet it's not on 90% of teams

[sharp cobalt]

Long live the PERISH TRAP

Castform is in

[chrome knot]

its on like half the maps team picks

more than that i can’t think of a map where kiriko is a bad pick

[thorny shadow]

But is it on 90% of comp/pro teams no

Stupid cat is broken you will run into it 9/10

[wild stream]

It's like gen 1 singles w mewtwo or lax

[thorny shadow]

That's why they took it's knock off I hope they nerf it more

[sharp cobalt]

How many sets ran Knock actually?

[thorny shadow]

I don't know 🤷🏻‍♂️

[chrome knot]

top cut orlando saw 5/16 lol

[thorny shadow]

But it's obviously broken when one of the games best players says it's broken

[chrome knot]

so do we also dogpile csr cir miraidon urshifu xerneas

[thorny shadow]

Water urshifu is broken

But these are restricted mons so they are usually cut like in champions

But since the cat is a starter it's everywhere

[sharp cobalt]

[chrome knot]

hes a pretty cool cat

and if hes not in format another mon who does basically that will take its place

[foggy lodge]

I wanted to use arcanine

[thorny shadow]

You probably want new fire starter to be fire fighting too

[chrome knot]

weird assumption lol

[thorny shadow]

As long as that cat lives nope you don't get to it's a worse inciniroar

[chrome knot]

especially when ur favourite set of starters features a fire/fighting lmfao

[thorny shadow]

The first one back when it was cool

[chrome knot]

hisui arcanine is still good pick up but rain good rn RIP

[foggy lodge]

No tera basculegion eats it alive

It will still be usable tho I think but no tera hurts

[thorny shadow]

No terras

[sharp cobalt]

Tera is in, there's an omni ring in champs

[chrome knot]

mega only will be rhe first format

[foggy lodge]

tera is not in the game yet

[thorny shadow]

They will probably bring terras back and I will quit again because that gimmick is unhealthy for the eyes

[foggy lodge]

and idt they will add it until a few years have passed

[chrome knot]

“unhealthy for the eyes”

[thorny shadow]

I want meet whoever thought giving pokemon a hat that made them look like idiots

[sharp cobalt]

I like tera

[thorny shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

[sharp cobalt]

[chrome knot]

tera is cool i like it

[forest arrow]

Tera is the best gimmick

[foggy lodge]

True

[thorny shadow]

Design wise no
You have to remember most pokemon fans are casuals

[forest arrow]

Design means nothing when talking competitive

[chrome knot]

casual_discussion

[sharp cobalt]

I mean, megas were just a mild mistake competitively cuz of things like mega Mence

[foggy lodge]

bro really wants to rant about design on the one channel that doesn't care about designs😭

[thorny shadow]

Then why do champions you need casuals for competitive to grow

[thorny shadow]

I like competitive but just because I do I don't want to let go of my eyesight

We should have a good competitive game that looks nice

[forest arrow]

Well casually the hats grew on me, Tera is cute

[foggy lodge]

Tera fairy hat is funny

[solid frigate]

Quite literally

A lot of them are funny

[forest arrow]

Want to become a steel type? Axe in your head lol

[sharp cobalt]

tera bug hat big fun

[thorny shadow]

I'm fine as a casual then

😂

[foggy lodge]

good for you

[solid frigate]

Meanwhile Rock:

A FUCKING MONUMENT

[forest arrow]

Lmao

Abraham Lincoln called he wants his house back

[solid frigate]

Ground is literally The bottom half of Stellar Pagos

[chrome knot]

hi i have a heart on my head now

MOONBLAST (!!)

[foggy lodge]

stellar is also funny

Flutter Mane with mini pagos on its head

[forest arrow]

Idk Tera grew on me, but I get the not liking the hats I suppose

[sharp cobalt]

They wanted to make it clear what type someone got and I suppose they succeeded

[solid frigate]

Pagos on a Pagos on a Pagos on a Pagos

[forest arrow]

Stellar Tera was the funniest

Here’s a turtle hat

[solid frigate]

What’s funny is that in worlds Koraidon disappeared and only remained as a Tera Fire Hat so it looks like a floating Chandelier

[solid frigate]

Pagos on a Pagos moment

[wild stream]

pagos is cute

I hope it's obtainable through other games in the future

But competitively, who knows

[bold geode]

Me and Tofu ran Tera Rock Amoonguss once

[foggy lodge]

What did it even do

[bold geode]

I believe it did flip your type matchup but other than that

No idea

[hollow latch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/313433143963025408/1477635054099365959/image0.gif

[hollow latch]

So offensiv amongus. I like it

[lost sun]

can we transfer mons with mega stones to champions and keep the stones?

[chrome knot]

items aren’t transferred

[bold geode]

Don't you get some mega stones though for a few mons you transfer?

[lost sun]

kalos starters and floette

but u got to transfer all 4

[chrome knot]

those are gift rewards

[bold geode]

SHIT I NEVER GOT FLOETTE

[lost sun]

neither did I

[bold geode]

How long does that last

[lost sun]

no idea

[chrome knot]

how

like beat the game idk

[bold geode]

I didn't grind ZA like that for the flower

[lost sun]

u got to do the infinite royal aswell

[chrome knot]

its 15 completions

[lost sun]

10x right

[bold geode]

Yeah I didn't do 15 LOL

[lost sun]

oh 15

[chrome knot]

GO DO 15

[bold geode]

I'M AT WORK AAAAAAAAAAAA

It's ok I'm not looking to use those guys anyways

[lost sun]

I'll probably use them at the start so I can get the others I want easier

[bold geode]

Don't know about Mega Floette but I don't think the Kalos megas are all that good

[lost sun]

delphox is probably better than no mega

[bold geode]

Yeah Mega Delphox is the best out of the 3 and even then I'd rather pick up a Zard Y

[lost sun]

ye but u would have to play some games for zard y

[bold geode]

I don't mind that

Gonna have to do that for all the rest too

[forest arrow]

Bro that genuinely took so long

Most annoying part of the game besides the dlc

[chrome knot]

it is so fast

[hollow latch]

Hope megastones wont be that expensiv 👀

[leaden fox]

Think they are 2000 VP a piece 😅

But we don't know "all the amounts" of VP we'll get in-game 😅

[hollow latch]

Definitly not cheap but ye Wolfes said u get a lot vp via tutorials so ye

[leaden fox]

Yeah, I remember him saying that; but we supposedly will get rental tickets and stat tickets via the starter pack (one time purchase) and some from the Battle Pass (Free and Purchased), so that'll help somewhat

[hollow latch]

True true ^^

I am ready for champions now only need to level up some shiny guys

[leaden fox]

I need to make sure I have some of my shinies transfered to HOME from ScarVio mainly 😅

As well as some from Z-A

[hollow latch]

what mons u gonna take om scar and ZA?

[forest arrow]

I grinded for 2 months

[sharp cobalt]

Damn

[hollow latch]

Sheeesh even shiny golispodd

Its Peak

[leaden fox]

Too many to list honestly xD

[forest arrow]

So peak

[bold geode]

Someone ping me?

[hollow latch]

https://tenor.com/view/ferrari-formula-1-f1-nothing-inchident-gif-10812622193104484042

[sudden remnant]

is that a shiny latias

do mine eyes deceive me

[forest arrow]

Yeah shiny Latios and Latias

The only ones that aren’t alpha 🙁

[sudden remnant]

how do i get to latias

and what donut do i make to increase my shiny odds

i dont care if its alpha or not i just want a shiny latias

uh i mean how can i get my own

[solid frigate]

It’s very simple

G R I N D

Like I’m not joking you just grind hyperspace and gamble for special scans

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/lego-batman-lego-batman-movie-no-i-dont-wanna-do-that-gif-5707638

am i better off hunting it in SWSH

[solid frigate]

Not really

[sudden remnant]

im not even done with the dlc i quit immediately after getting the meowsticite

[solid frigate]

I literally cleared in like maybe 2 days?

The progression sucks but it isn’t that bad for the overall DLC

[sudden remnant]

i hate it 🫩

genuinely the worst dlc so far

[chrome knot]

i found it rly fun idk

[sudden remnant]

swsh was fine kitakami was okay blueberry academy was peak

and then theres hyperspace 🫩

[chrome knot]

hyperspace was sick

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-test-dukey-you-are-on-your-own-youre-on-your-own-youre-alone-gif-24249871

[chrome knot]

i rly loved both swsh dlcs, i thought they introduced really cool legendaries, sv dlc was also very memorable imo

i liked the rush aspect of hyperspace

[sudden remnant]

i hate that i have to grind the same way i did in the za royale

[solid frigate]

The idea of Hyperspace is interesting and could be expanded like ultra space

[sudden remnant]

they didnt even switch it up or anything

[sudden remnant]

sure but wheres my kartana and pheromosa

[chrome knot]

fortunately i liked that gameplay loop so i didn’t rly mind

[solid frigate]

Same it’s not that bad

[sudden remnant]

yall are crazy

[solid frigate]

Nah we just fine with Grinding games

[sudden remnant]

i grind enough in botw master trials

[chrome knot]

the story was also really cool i liked the nightmare where it had us running through the void, made it feel like we were in dppt doing the void exploit stuff

[sudden remnant]

and my hoyoverse games

[solid frigate]

And Darkrai was right

France is a nightmare

[chrome knot]

yes!

bc they speak french thats bery scary

france also has allt of lesbians who knew

[sudden remnant]

does darkrai actually say that in the game that would be really funny

[solid frigate]

The only reason Darkrai got a mega is just because of the French being scary and Smeargle War Crimes

Otherwise bro wouldn’t have one

[solid frigate]

It’s just a joke in the community

[sudden remnant]

can they buff dark void back but just keep it out of smeargles sketch pool

[hollow latch]

very true

[sudden remnant]

can they also make play rough 100% accurate 🫩

[solid frigate]

And ummm

Urbain and Taunie’s cooking,WTF do you mean Croissant Curry

[hollow latch]

can we not buff a guy using double hypno xD

[sudden remnant]

just means ursa stonks will increase even further

cant put me to sleep if im already burned

[hollow latch]

i thought about sleep talk set xD

but ye right burn

[sudden remnant]

ummm thats too niche id say

[hollow latch]

ik ik just the first thing that came up in my mind

[forest arrow]

It got repetitive after awhile but was fun (at first)

[sudden remnant]

the croissant curry?

[forest arrow]

No resetting for donuts

[sudden remnant]

oh yeah

[solid frigate]

I just go with whatever since I don’t bother to do Shiny Hunting due to being busy for school work

[sudden remnant]

those boxes say otherwise

[forest arrow]

Has its own hyperspace side mission along 5 other legends, just get a dragon or psychic level 3 sand which and run back and forth on the roof

There’s a video you can look up that’ll show you what to do

[sudden remnant]

so its not even guaranteed to be latias?

😨

[solid frigate]

You literally just grind for special hyperspace which has a sub legendary in it

[forest arrow]

It’s always Latias inside the side mission

But no there’s 5 others it could be

[solid frigate]

The sword of Justice and Latios are also there

[forest arrow]

Latios, Latias, Terrakion, Verizion, Coballion, and two others

[sudden remnant]

yk im chilling with that

[sudden remnant]

uhhh maybe im not chillin if there’s 2 more

[forest arrow]

You can just skip it and go again?

[foggy lodge]

Less than 8 hours

[forest arrow]

You’re not forced to get them.

[forest arrow]

3 hours til im free from work 😭

[sudden remnant]

is keldeo shiny locked

[solid frigate]

It’s literally very easy to do those grinds anyway

Like

Hyperspace Battles gives a fuck ton of Research Points

[forest arrow]

Keldeo and Meloetta are shiny locked

[sudden remnant]

nintendo i hate you

[forest arrow]

They’re mythicals anyways who cares

[sudden remnant]

ME

2 of my 3 favorite mythicals and i cant shiny hunt either of them

[solid frigate]

Ngl it’s sad they are locked but it’s fine regardless

They already make it shiny before

[sudden remnant]

yeah through home distributions by completing the in game pokedex in home 🫩

[forest arrow]

Get to catching

[sudden remnant]

i guess i should get latias from the crown tundra anyways while im doing that

[forest arrow]

Hyperspace is faster

[sudden remnant]

im not far enough in the dlc

[solid frigate]

Meanwhile me:got two shiny Latias from GO

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-grustiks-gif-26823967

this is me rn

[solid frigate]

Either get to hyperspacing or wait for a Latias Raid Rotation in GO and suffer

[sudden remnant]

or just open shield

[chrome knot]

me and my shiny shadow latios

[solid frigate]

Eyyyy noice

I don’t think I have a shiny shadow but eh don’t care too much anymore

[sudden remnant]

[solid frigate]

Yes

[chrome knot]

[forest arrow]

I might hit you up for sure brother I’m definitely getting some passes

[solid frigate]

I’ll probably get some remote raids

[forest arrow]

New account also so I have like nothing to even defeat the thing, I’m grinding levels as we speak

[solid frigate]

Problem is that my account is much better against Groudon than Kyogre lmfao

[forest arrow]

Say that to my xxs pidgey

Lmao

[solid frigate]

The holy pidgey

[sudden remnant]

what the hell are link charges for

[solid frigate]

Mega raids

[rare pumice]

[sudden remnant]

more storage and because i can

[cyan smelt]

How come they included maushold but not annihilape

[sudden remnant]

they included archaludon if that means anything to you

[torpid hearth]

Because fuck that stupid ghost ape

[cyan smelt]

Yeah and pelipper so it's gonna be reg h 3.0

[torpid hearth]

Weather wars time

[cyan smelt]

Yippee peli arch and sneasler it's like we never left sv

[chrome knot]

@digital orbit new gimmick character

[sudden remnant]

[cyan smelt]

[cyan smelt]

With mega mawile if available?

[sudden remnant]

and politoed over pelipper if politoed is available

[cyan smelt]

Perish song?

[verbal gate]

So who’s everyone picking from the tutorial?

[sudden remnant]

mega chimecho looks tempting

[cyan smelt]

Me - completely new game, wants to use kingambit and smeargle again

[sudden remnant]

[verbal gate]

Wrong chat. Sorry.

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-girl-eating-cute-kawaii-gif-17162975

[sudden remnant]

x to doubt

[cyan smelt]

I want to make the most camp avatar possible

[sudden remnant]

this old guy is spitting facts

why does this guys charizard have body slam LMAO

[cyan smelt]

Because it hasn't mega evolved into mega charizard y yet (is y the good one)

[sudden remnant]

Y is the good one with drought yes

[cyan smelt]

I wanna use that

[sudden remnant]

but its special so body slam still isnt justified

[cyan smelt]

God i sound so basic saying that

[sudden remnant]

this guys zard moveset is not cooking

thats all i gotta say

[cyan smelt]

Don't lose the tutorial

[sudden remnant]

trust me i wont

[cyan smelt]

Ur motivated to build a fire team

[sudden remnant]

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-meme-buzz-year-copy-meme-gif-4668439001950303425

[cyan smelt]

Can't be intimidated because it's special

[sudden remnant]

i would use incineroar if i had the wolfeys incin from that mystery gift code

but im SOL

[dull ibex]

whats a good good sixth for. venu/zard/dnite/maushold/garchomp

aegislash isnt legal

[cyan smelt]

Just slap incin on there

[dull ibex]

oh yeah?

[sudden remnant]

true

[dull ibex]

I just need to get my hands on a venusaur

[cyan smelt]

U need ice type coverage

[dull ibex]

mine is stuck in shield

[sudden remnant]

i can probably get you a bulbasaur not that that helps much

[cyan smelt]

I want to go through the tutorial while listening to dubstep

[dull ibex]

If you can get a venu that would be great

[sudden remnant]

lemme see if i have a bulbasaur in go cuz im using my switch for champions rn

[cyan smelt]

I really really want to use mega metagross but then i can't use gambit

[dull ibex]

I thought meta gross wasn't legal

[cyan smelt]

I have no idea what is lol

[sudden remnant]

actually i have a venusaur

its in go but i can get it to you in a bit

[dull ibex]

Dm me be cause we can't do trades here

[sudden remnant]

of course

[cyan smelt]

Gambit might struggle against peli and arch so i might need tr with ursaluna

New format and i'm really just going to use the most popular pokemon from reg h lmao

[sudden remnant]

i think i also want a hatterene

mawile is slow so i might need a bit of trick room stuff

[cyan smelt]

Oh yeah this time i have to prepare for that tera fire mystical fire stuff

[sudden remnant]

also fairy is just a good typing in general

[sudden remnant]

theres no tera bruh its a mega format

[cyan smelt]

Oh

[sudden remnant]

LOL

[cyan smelt]

Oh yeah so gambit won't like sun or rain

[dull ibex]

oh my ev spreads stay

[sudden remnant]

you can edit them as well

[dull ibex]

ill keep them to reduce vp costs

[sudden remnant]

true

[dull ibex]

zard lost tailwind?

im running solar beam instead

[sudden remnant]

it lost tailwind years ago

[dull ibex]

ah ok

[sudden remnant]

lost it going in to gen 9

yay i got the omni ring from the pretty lady

[cyan smelt]

You'll want overheat, heat wave, air slash and weather ball specs on zard

[sudden remnant]

solar beam is good

[cyan smelt]

Venu can run that

[sudden remnant]

it takes advantage of your own sun and hits the water types your usually scared of

[dull ibex]

Heatwave, focus blast, solar beam, protect

[sudden remnant]

you wont necessarily need both

[sudden remnant]

WHY ARE YOU USING FOCUS MISS

[dull ibex]

the thats a plus one team has it

I could run hurricane instead

also specs? not im megaing it

[sudden remnant]

its cooked either way

inaccuracy will be your doom

[dull ibex]

actually can anyone vc and help me fill out this team?

[cyan smelt]

Oh right i keep forgetting it's a mega format

[sudden remnant]

im the niche and troll guy you dont want my help lmao

i like this old guy hes using an espeon

hes so based for that

[cyan smelt]

In a mega format? He is cooked

[sudden remnant]

no its in the tutorial

[cyan smelt]

Ik

[sudden remnant]

also id use espeon

id be more likely to use umbreon but id use espeon for sure

[cyan smelt]

Loaded dice jolteon pin missile for stamina proc

[sudden remnant]

youre cooking

i might actually do that too

sounds fun

[cyan smelt]

Volt switch next turn to bring the rain and the pain

[sudden remnant]

swap in mawile for intimidate

just to effectively make my defense higher

[cyan smelt]

Woah +7 def

[sudden remnant]

see the strat

[cursive sonnet]

What are the thoughts on Champions? Hoping I can get into competitive through it!

[sudden remnant]

it just came out not sure many people will have thoughts yet

[cyan smelt]

Megas are back, what's not to love

[sudden remnant]

[cyan smelt]

Lowk harc might be good for the sun teams

[sudden remnant]

i was just looking at the speed stat

[cyan smelt]

Slower than chomp unforch

[sudden remnant]

[cyan smelt]

Sooo, jolteon, peli, arch, incin

[sudden remnant]

No dracovish yet i'm guessing?

Hmmm jolteon, arch, peli, dnite

Bc dracovish strong jaw boosted fishious rend in rain would melt hp bars

[brisk crater]

How the fuck do i get a choice band

I cant find the choice band for sale

[dull ibex]

[hollow latch]

They took body press from arch noooo

[cyan smelt]

Wtf

There goes my pin missile body press idea

[sudden remnant]

[cyan smelt]

I bet charizard has lost nothing and has been buffed

[sudden remnant]

they should give it TW back

[cyan smelt]

Aren't its buddies fast enough

[sudden remnant]

nahhhh

[cyan smelt]

Champions is gonna flop with all these design choices

[sudden remnant]

it will be back they cant keep those items gone those are staples

[winter fox]

Guess I'll wait until next format drops so I can use a compatible team with compatible items

They know what they are doing by making choices like this and it needs to stop

[cyan smelt]

[cyan smelt]

[brisk crater]

Honestly after playing a couple of games, champions isnt a bad game in its core. Its just this regulation sucks with barely any items

[lost sun]

ye the lack of items is annoying hopefully they add more soon

[grand spire]

[brisk crater]

It feels like battles drag on so long bc i cant oneshot lifeorb or choice band

Other than that the game is rlly ftp friendly and the subscription is cheap and gives you a ton. Im excited to see what it becomes when it gets more content

[grand spire]
