Not Mewtwo but arguably better. Look at those IVs too.

Oh, even got a rare egg move (Clangerous Soul)

[solid mountain]

All it took was Necrozma, lmao

Serriously, Necrozma with the Clanging Sound egg move just shits on everything

OH MY GOD IS HE WEARING A SOMBRERO

GAME FREAK NO THAT'S THE WRONG CULTURE

[lost apex]

its a nest with a bird egg actually!

the final evolution's signature attack is singing into a microphone/wand and sending a hatched phoenix to explode opponents

[solid mountain]

... It's a sombrero and you can't stop me from thinking that

[opaque skiff]

Although it is likely correct that the evol line is partially based on mexican culture while the region is based on spain

[solid mountain]

Like joking aside, I like the incorpiation of Mexican elements into a Spanish-themed region, it fits perfectly well.

It's just
My initial reaction to seeing the middle form was exactly that, I kinda internally lmao'd

and skeledurge like having the face paint and the sorta "skeletal"/day of the dead vibes is super neat for a starter concept

I talk a lot of shit about Pokemon (And tbf maybe I do rail a little too hard against GF sometimes) but these more recent regions and trying to incorprate more cultuiral elements into their pokemon designs is cool

Galar having legalised cockfighting Pokemon battles being the football of that region and the uniforms, Cinderace having footballer vibes, the Water starter having James Bond vibes, etc.

[opaque skiff]

They always had regional elements in Pokemon, it is just that they were all about Japan until Gen 4

[solid mountain]

I feel like they're leaning into it more recently
Maybe it's recency bias

Especially starting with Alola and introducing Regional Variants, I think that's when they kicked it into high gear.

[solid mountain]

woooo- wait that nature is garbage

[tender summit]

iirc, each of the gen 9 starters are themed around different celebrations

(Mardi Gras for Meowscarada, Brazilian Carnival for Quaquaval, and Dia de Los Muertos for Skeledirge)

in pokerogue, Regigigas's hidden ability is fucking mind's eye

now nothing is safe from the wrath that is regigigas with skill swap

wtf, is this a bug?

what's going on with mimikyu's health bar?

[ebon crow]

probably just a way to show off mimikyus abbility

[solid mountain]

Why do you even need Skill Swap at that point? It's Scrappy with added "fuck you" to evasion bullshittery

not to mention it's on Regigigas

[solid mountain]

i've fought plenty of mimikyu before, it's not that, lol

[tender summit]

immediate removal of slow start is incredibly strong

[solid mountain]

Ohhh, you mean Passive

Which is different from ability

[tender summit]

ye, my bad should have specified

[solid mountain]

Kinda. Sorta. It's a second ability that you unlock and then becomes a permanent starter buff. Not necessarily the same thing as a hidden ability.

[tender summit]

I wasn't sure cus i had an ability patch atm, so i just thought it was a hidden ability

er, patch?

[solid mountain]

I get whatcha mean

[tender summit]

it might not have been patch

[solid mountain]

passives are a pain to get

[tender summit]

for legendaries, 100%

very basic Pokémon you find tons of? not at all

[solid mountain]

Yeah, but in exchange they tend to be not worth it

like wow, Bifoof with Neuroforce!
it's still... fucking Bidoof tho

You can't even get Neuroforce to proc on half of your STAB

[tender summit]

however, the ones that are true menaces, get even more dangerous more often than not

take Zygarde for instance

incredibly strong pokemon

and their passive

fucking Huge Power

Dondozo is the 3rd biggest Pokemon

[solid mountain]

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER POKEMON-

[haughty needle]

how do megas work in this game

[solid mountain]

You have to pick up a Mega Bracelet
and then get the Mega Stone from the reward thingy
And then it's a permament buff to your Pokemon

[tender summit]

You can stack buffs too

You can have a mega-fused-terastalized pokemon

[solid mountain]

"Turtle wakes up, creates a new type, makes an infinite time loop, refuses to elaborate."
I UNDERSTAND INDIGO DISK NOW

[tender summit]

Only thing I don't think you can stack is dynamaxing and mega evolving

But idk, I never got the chance to find out

[solid mountain]

would make sense if you couldn't, but I did manage to somehow make Necrozma both Lunala and Solgeo forms at once

Which was weird but I think the game just goes "aight, just fucking pick one"

why is ivy so nice?

[tender summit]

it's a set encounter, and the final boss on classic mode

also

wtf is that?!

[solid mountain]

TIL holding Y (on xbawks) shows moves and PP

[tender summit]

Yeah that got added in the most recent patch

[haughty needle]

pokerouge is on xbawks ?

[tender summit]

Well it's a game you play on a browser

I'm not surprised you can do that

[jaunty holly]

i like when games give little quality of life features like that

like showdown shows you your opponents moves and power points

used moves*

[haughty needle]

common showdown w

[jaunty holly]

the day nintendo throws a shitfit and takes it down is the day i won't rlly care about pokemon anymore

90% of my pokemoning is showdown

[solid mountain]

You can also download a client

[tender summit]

How do dat?

[solid mountain]

https://github.com/Admiral-Billy/Pokerogue-App

SInce it's basically a webpage itself it's not too difficult to use

but it's nice to have a dedicated window for it and all

[tender summit]

I appreciate this

Whenever I stream this game, the sounds from every other tab I have open (like 3 at most) overlap, which gets jarring, so I just close all other tabs pretty much

This will simplify things

happy to help

I decided to try pokerogue, I'm currently on floor 16 with this team.

[tender summit]

Nice

Also, psa, the devs are gonna be tweaking like, 60% of the abilities in pokerogue

The meta shall be shifted

[haughty needle]

[tender summit]

For instance, technician greninja will no longer be a thing

[forest rivet]

Here's my team after floor 50.

Also I've gained new respect for blaze and overgrow.

[tender summit]

that's just a matter of perspective

the other abilities they can get are nuts

I found a shiny buggo.

[thorny radish]

Imo the weirdest looking pokemon

[solid mountain]

that would be your MO-

[tender summit]

based based based

[solid mountain]

based on what

of course the servers are down when i try to log in

[tender summit]

yea, due to the absolute unit of an update, the traffic for the game is causing the servers to be on life support currently

[solid mountain]

i mean the game was already struggling before and now there's 60k concurrent players

[tender summit]

they changed like, 60% of the game this update (mostly QoL changes) and a massive overhaul on abilities (what pokemon gets what abilities, how those abilities work, signature ability/moves changes, a good chunk of moves getting partially/fully implamented, etc.)

that and also the gay agenda update

if I recall correctly, for a good while (the event timer on the beginning screen) there's LGBTQ+ themed shinies roaming the wilderness

idk if that's what it is exactly but it's what I was told by a friend

[solid mountain]

Smeargle used Sacred Fire!
ah yes i forgot this was a pokemon rom hack

this is the second fucking gym

[jaunty holly]

[haughty needle]

Friendship ended with shinies that are just a few shades different from the original

Pitch black color palettes is my new bff

[jaunty holly]

fishe..

[tender summit]

[solid mountain]

so this just dropped in the Pokerogue discord.

I think the implication is the implentation of certain villain leaders being fightable now
and them being you know

suffering incarnate

because pokerogue wasn't already for masochists

[tender summit]

here's the thing

you can choose how badly you want to be masochistic (ie pick your pokemon, continue a run if it's doing alright, reset if not, get better, repeat)

granted, there are aspects that can't really be remedied, like the fact that the ai can be mega lame if they wanna be

but that's neither here nor there

[solid mountain]

The AI can be manipulated, at least

[tender summit]

yea

[solid mountain]

Say you have a water type and they have a fire type and they swap to their grass type
BUT
YOU SWAP TO YOUR FLYING TYPE
AND THEN THEY SWAP TO THEIR ROCK TYPE
BUT YOU HAVE GRASS COVERAGE AND ONE SHOT THEM HAHA

fucking jojo ass fight logic

[tender summit]

like how it's easy to scare eternatus into not attacking the pokemon that's actually a threat to them

also if I may ask, HC, how many mons have you gotten thru classic mode with?

my grand total comes out to 43 have managed to get to the end

[solid mountain]

I'm bad at the game

[tender summit]

I can work with variety

if i may ask

which ones did you get there with?

my list would be too long, so...

[solid mountain]

like, Mega Pidgeot, Necrozma, some rock thingy

[tender summit]

actually, I got nothing better to do

be back in like, 8 minutes

(btw, when i list a mon, just assume it's their final evo)

[solid mountain]

don't know if Pokerus is any good but any excuse to use my Regenator Ho-oh is a good one

[tender summit]

pokerus increases exp yields for all who have it, that's all

so, they level up faster

[solid mountain]

Ahhh, so it's not an EV thing like in the main games

That's actually very useful, I always end up underlevelled

[tender summit]

nah, ev's i dont think are a thing in this game

[solid mountain]

well not always always but most runs my EXP scailing goes to shit and then my pokemon die so they don't get EXP

[tender summit]

maybe they are tho

[solid mountain]

cue the fucking death spiral

[tender summit]

egg moves my beloved

[solid mountain]

if i can even get that far

[tender summit]

the egg moves will hard carry you if you get a good mon with a good egg move

[solid mountain]

sure i have a shiny Extremespeed Zigzagoon but that can only do SO MUCH with the berry nerfs

[tender summit]

well extreme speed isn't meant to be spammed

(hence it's 5 pp)

anyways, on to listing every mon I've won with thus-far

[solid mountain]

i use the app version

which... is just a webpage wrapped in an exe

so i can just hit F5 anyway

I got the egg from the shiny up it isn't shiny, but it is my favorite legendary.

It's egg move was sludge wave, so it has coverage for fairies.

i got a Palkia with Water Spout
that with Recover means it's going to be a reliable nuke

[open panther]

[forest rivet]

I've been playing pokerogue I haven't beaten classic yet, but I did find some shiny pokemon.

[tender summit]

oh wow, you already got a tier 3 shiny? nice job

[solid mountain]

D A M N

I'd take care of that T3 Ralts, you'll really want one for the final boss

||I mean, it'll still be weak to Eternatus' poison attacks, but it'll decimate the rival's Mega Ray||

Duraldon will also be great.

Will generally wall anything not packing a Ground or Fighting move

pair with the Ralts and you got a solid carry duo

[tender summit]

||that's why u bring a steel type to swap to||

wait

could you, hypothetically fuse something like volcarona and lucario to get a bug steel type with flame body?

[solid mountain]

i would bring a pure steel type over Lucario, but ehhh

that's because i'm not 100% sure how the fusions work

[tender summit]

it was just a hypothetical

[solid mountain]

Actually if you got a Heatran with Flash Fire...

[tender summit]

well their passive is earth eater, so if they did, then they'd just be weak to... fighting, and that's all

this is assuming the typing doesn't change at all

[solid mountain]

Well I was thinking fusing a Heatran with Flash Fire to a Bug type to give it immunity to Fire, the Deadly Queen would have No Weakness outside of Mold Breaker

[tender summit]

yea, the reason i said lucario is cus there's not many special attacker steel types out there that have steel as their secondary types

and volcarona came to mind cus... yea volca is gud and gets flashfire

[solid mountain]

all hypotheticals, aye
fucking Pokerogue and it's weird bullshit, lmao

[tender summit]

thing is

it's finicky to get the exact fusion mon you want

unlike IF (where the fusions are from) you don't get a prompt to ask "oh is this the mon you wanted?"

[solid mountain]

yeah it depends on the order you pick

[tender summit]

ye

[solid mountain]

so you know if you get splicers after a hard fight, lmao

good fucking luck

[tender summit]

I get the typing nailed down, but the ability is what throws me off

I just had my mind blown about something in pokemon.

every single stat for every ultra beast (except naganadel's speed stat) is a prime number

which is like... why? who thought of that?

cant speak for pokerogue but i love camerupts so fuckin much

not too surprisin considerin gen 3 my adored, but absolutely part of my "dream team" 6 so to speak

[solid mountain]

In Pokerogue it gets Trick Room as an Egg Move, that could be useful

and the passive it gets is Stanima, meaning it can take hits (And I can imagine Mega Camerupt would super appreciate that defense boost)

oh yeah, 20 base speed in Mega form

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

Another double shiny to add to the collection

I often be hesitant calling showdown a "competitive scene", although I guess it is competitive

[solid mountain]

unofficially, sure but the official VGC ruleset has... flaws.

[opaque skiff]

Well I'm not saying "showdown unofficial, showdown bad, only vgc rulez", but for a competitive scene showdown feels, void? empty? to me

It probably depends on the community where you usually interact with

For me showdown rating feels like it means nothing

But if you are more used to communities which value showdown rating a lot then probably you won't share the same feeling

[solid mountain]

Yeah, but using it as a yardstick to gauge how good Pokemon are in a vaccumn is a good starting point, because Incineroar for instance is pretty bad in singles, but is utterly ruthless in VGC

The two formats play so differently they're basically different games

[opaque skiff]

Well I do count official singles format as a competitive format

Thou sure the term VGC is a bit too specific

Again probably due to the environment

Showdown isn't as popular over here

And one of the very few western pokemon players I've watched is, well, WolfeyVGC

So I am def biased in a way

[solid mountain]

I actually thought that you intentionally chose a more broken version

[jaunty holly]

so true

[solid mountain]

but ykw

at least the Ice gym wasn't a joke

they actually accounted and gave coverage

[jaunty holly]

def

a lot of gyms are too easy

only so much you can do with one type i get

and i still think the gyms wouldve been cooler if they didnt tera a pokemon into their gyms type but vice versa

or atleast the later gyms, all pkmn are the gyms type but a random one will tera

imagine fighting tera fire cetitan or smth so most of its weaknesses change

[solid mountain]

And especially given most of my team had stuff to counter Ice types (or just resist them), the fact it took 3 tries, with the fire starter at that is impressive balancing

or maybe i just went in at too low level

huh, ghost gym actually has battles

y'know even with 3 in a row this might prove to not be an issue...

[lost apex]

as also an adef watcher my first thought was "oh so that explains why i keep havin arguments with my sister about what shiny odds are"

she likes shiny huntin n plays new games mostly n im ancient with my emerald replays n never cared about shinies personally, so whenever she rambles (affectionate) about her latest hunts im like "i thought its like, 8 thousand something..."

and then i get a lecture about lucky charms n sandwiches

[opaque skiff]

Shinies are much, much easier to catch modern days even without all the setups and if you are specifically trying to go for shiny hunt then it can be way easier than older gens

years ago, when I first got back into Pokemon in 2013 I bred my first competitive Chandelure who I named 2Spooky.
And somewhere along the way, I got attached to the name Tesla for all my Joltik and Galvantula.

So seeing them both reunited, my two favourite Unovan Pokemon, shining like the stars they are makes me smile.

I may never see the original 2Spooky or Tesla again, but they live on in Paldea.
It's good to see you again, friends. Even if it's not your original incarnation I worked for all those years ago.

[solid mountain]

ooh
i found a purple Furret the other day

[tender summit]

(all 3 stages of evolution is a very dark purple )

[solid mountain]

and since it gets Pickup as its Passive...

very useful just to slap on as support

[tender summit]

oh also I got this guy last night

and yes, that means you can have a shiny ash greninja

[solid mountain]

all my shinies so far

[tender summit]

here's all mine

[solid mountain]

okay i have one in Violet but it's not the same

[tender summit]

that's when...

you make it good

my favorite is still the twilight sparkle wannabe

[solid mountain]

hell yeah

I still don't know if I want Analytic or Sturdy on Magmamite tho

oh i have Timid nature unlocked
Sturdy it is, lol

even with Levitate meaning it's only weak to Fighting and Fire, better safe than sorry

[tender summit]

sturdy is funny cus it just says "no u" to ohko moves

[solid mountain]

i think i had one encounter with one

not counting No Guard Fissure Machop

I fear the ice move it gets as an Egg Move

[tender summit]

oh right, speaking of no guard...

[solid mountain]

they wouldn't give Sheer Cold to it... right?

[solid mountain]

[tender summit]

for what, machop?

it's probably ice hammer or something

[tender summit]

also pyro ball (which isn't there cus evolution)

but high jump kick, triple axel, and pyro ball are all terrifying in the context of no guard

[solid mountain]

So wait, do I need to find a Battle Bond Greninja in the wild then?

[tender summit]

you could hatch one

but it needs to have that as a labeled form

(ala partner eevee or pikachu)

[solid mountain]

my egg luck is so baaaaad

[tender summit]

I found the battle bond one in the wild tho

they were hanging out in the swamp area

this is by far one of my most terrifying mons tho

[solid mountain]

For your Rhyhorn, what ability do you run?

[solid mountain]

very Yanmega vibes

[tender summit]

I'd probably run rock head

they get a lot of self damaging moves

because the alternative (lightning rod) I can only see useful if you use something like discharge, because realistically, no one is gonna use an electric move on a ground type

[solid mountain]

Uuugh
i just realise that I can't run Compound Eyes and Speed Boost on Yanma

and the only reason why I would is this motherfucker right here

[tender summit]

man, now i'm sad seeing this

Nintendo and Gamefreak submitted 3 new trademarks

and 2 of them are called Black Bolt and White Flare

It's almost impossible to not think of certain games...

[open panther]

new tcg sets

[jaunty holly]

HOT TAMALES!!!!

dont tease me dont say its not true

!!!!!

There is a good chance they do a Pokemon Presents with ZA and announce gen5 remake

[opaque skiff]

OK I'm now a bit worried

During gen8 they went SwSh - DLC - BDSP - PLA then moved to gen 9

We're at SV - DLC - ??? - PZA rn

Which means if they release gen5 remake this year, it fits the timeline perfectly...

But that would also mean that they have equally awful schedule

[jaunty holly]

arceus did release alongside BDSP so i wouldnt be surprised if every legends game also had a normal game with it

hello

[jaunty holly]

@sage cargo

[sage cargo]

OOOOOOOOOH

[jaunty holly]

also about legends ZA

idk if this was confirmed or not but i think the game will have time travel shenanigans in it

since X and Y are on a flat plane, but Z is like

its like the other way

you get?

mega flygon or i cry

[sage cargo]

i get

[jaunty holly]

pupy'

[opaque skiff]

Honestly I also do hope that ZA has a time travel mechanics or something similar, because they said the whole game will be in Lumiose City

And that's a tiny map

[jaunty holly]

not the smallest city tbf

but yea

i think inside the city will be like wild areas and stuff like "parks"

[opaque skiff]

It is a huge city but like, it's definitely not comparable with i.e. Hisui

[jaunty holly]

tru

it makes the two games unique from eachother

if every legends game used the same formula theyd just suffer the same fate as normal mainline games

what i like abt legends is breaking the standard

Gotta make 6 Sylveon party

[jaunty holly]

the urge to make a full eevee team in all my games

my team is gonna be starter, flygon, and 4 eeveelutions if i can help it

urgh i wonder what the starters are gonna be.. i like the theory that itll be 4 mons with no regoinal forms yet

[opaque skiff]

[jaunty holly]

snive pleeeeeease
