Hello everybody, we’re bringing you another Mascot Pokémon Showdown. The winner of last time is Giratina with 56%!
Now it’s time for Unova. Generation V released in 2010 in Japan and in 2011 in the rest of the world. This time, the generation consisted of four games: Black, White, Black 2 and White 2, and introduced amazing features, such as seasons, triple and rotation battles and the Pokémon World Tournament
Pokémon Black Version
Pokémon Black featured Reshiram, the Vast White Pokémon. It is a Dragon/Fire Pokémon that contains almost entirely out of fluff. By flaring the enormous engine-like tail, it can move the atmosphere of the world, which changes the weather.
Reshiram is the only Pokëmon known to be able to learn Fusion Flare and Blue Flare. Together with Zekrom, they were first shown on the Japanese and English website on the same date, which makes them the first two to be revealed worldwide simultaneously. Its name comes from ‘shiro‘ (白, ‘white’) and ‘re‘, which is just a softer sound than ‘ze‘.
Pokémon White Version
Pokémon White showcased Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon,
on its cover. He has a Dragon/Electric-typing with small black wings coming from its shoulders. Like Reshiram, Zekrom has an engine-like tail, but this one produces lightning bolts.
Zekrom has the highest Attack, Defense, and base stat total of all Electric Pokémon. It’s Ken Sugimori’s favorite Pokémon of Generation V. Its name is a combination of ‘kuro‘ (黒, ‘black’) and ‘ze‘, which is just a harder sound than ‘re‘.
Pokémon Black 2 Version
On the case of Pokémon Black 2 is Black Kyurem, a combination of Kyurem and Zekrom. It keeps Zekrom‘s arms, but is much more muscular than it. Its left arm, wing and lower jaw are completely covered in ice.
Black Kyurem has the highest Attack stat of all Ice Pokémon, and together with White Kyurem, it has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon. Despite being larger than before it fused, it’s actually lighter than Kyurem. Its name comes from ‘rei‘ (冷, ‘cold’), ‘kyuurei‘ (急冷, ‘rapid cooling’) and ‘rei‘ (零, ‘zero’).
Pokémon White 2 Version
Unlike all other generations, this generation had 2 upgraded
versions instead of one. On the second version, Pokémon White 2, you can see White Kyurem on the cover. This is a fusion of Kyurem and Reshiram. Its right wing, head plume and upper jaw are frozen.
White Kyurem has the highest Special attack stat of all Ice-type Pokémon, and, as mentioned before, the highest base stat total of all of them. It’s also the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Do we ever find out why some Ultra Beasts bear resemblance to particular characters (UB01 to Lillie, UB02 to Lusamine, etc). NO SPOILERS, a simple yes/no will do. 🙂
Yes.
why in spoils?
didnt lusamine dress lillie just like ub1 on purpose?
The reason why UBs have similarity to certain characters is important to the story, I think.
What if Lillie dyed her hair, wore colored contacts, changed outfit and became Leaf?
That would fuck the timeline so hard.
Not really, if the theory of UBs wrecking the old timeline really happened. This would be… a… New Leaf!
It’s like my team is weak to Guzma’s teams all the time. I haven’t lost, but it feels like he always has my number and takes out 2-3 Pokemon all the time… :p
The only other time I have comparable levels of difficulty are the grass totem and the actual final boss before the credits.
Do you have no fire or rock types? I find him super easy. I use my wishiwashi to decimate golisopod 😛
Team problems I guess. Also, playing on Set sometimes there’s no safe switch-ins so stuff just gets sacrificed.
I have no dedicated fire/rock types but I do have rock attacks.
I see. I’ve also only battled him twice so I guess he gets way harder!
omg i feel you. Set makes it so hard, good thing most of my mons are defensive but if my mons were just hyper offense? rip me
I have grinded a pokemon from lv. 1 to 82 today. this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. gamefreak, if you are lurking (lol) please return to the other Exp. system! (or provide wild lv.100 blissey with memento as their only move)
Yo I got 3 5IVd Stuffuls from the one you gave me, I feel I owe you one of these. Want to get online?
lol I just typed out a thank you lol. absolutely. I’m so sick of grinding to lv, 100 I just want to use it lol. if you have a male with fluffy, that’s be great, what do you want for it? (I don’t have much, but I do have a complete melemele dex. I might even have some good natured mareanie, and if not, then toxapex is still at the nursery)
Actually any Merciless Mareanie would be perfect I don’t have one yet!
could you give me like 20 minutes to get one?
It’s ok ill take anything now because I remembered I am getting one from a giveaway right now
any moon exclusives?
No any random bad pokemon you got
ok. thanks! I will raise it with care! (but not to lv 100 lol)
🙂 no problem
Guzma’s battle theme is assaulting my ears. No me gustalo >.<
yo, TigerMasku, if you read this, I gotta say, I feel totally bad man. I traded you a stufful with an adamant nature and ice punch as an egg move. you said “hey, have this vulpix” you never told me how much work you put into her, she’s a timid nature, with 5 perfect IV’s where it counts, and a hidden ability. I’m sorry my little stufful didn’t have nearly as much effort put into it. i’ll be using the vulpix (now a ninetails at lv.50, fully ev trained) in the tree. thanks, man!
Don’t feel bad at all, I have a 6IV ditto and I got that Vulpix in seconds lol. Your Stufful is awesome too just like I wanted it, coverage against dragons and in a Poke ball which is how I like my Bewear. 🙂
well, I appreciate the effort. I’m online now!
Please give me 2 minutes I am trading a shiny zubat for a masterball lol
ok but how did you get a 6iv ditto? im jealous
I am doing lots of Poke business on reddit
Dang I need to do some business… xD
lowkey i want to restart my game because while I love my main team, it is so slow that is barely usable
I have the 3 fastest speedsters of the new alolan pokemon and it’s still a struggle sometimes. My slowest pokemon is actually my best.
my problem is that the only two decent ones are tsareena and magnezone. Crabominable dies to any hit, I cannot set up with Minior because focus sash is a one time use only in the main games, Palossand has a a defense hindering nature that makes him less useful and Araquanid while i love him, is not very good
Crabrawler is a struggle for sure. It can’t tank hits at all. I like it and I can’t wait to evolve it, but it needed better stat spreads. But, then again, what can you expect from an ice type? GF doesn’t get it.
Crabrawler actually has one of the worst spreads I’ve ever seen
But the design is good 🙁
I know, my friends despise it but I love it and wish it was good
It makes me sad to see them treat ice types so poorly
Since , I dunno, every other type got buffed in a way
Ice always gets the trash treatment
Make it beat water, resist water, and resist flying, bam problem solved
One resistance is serious BS especially cause who is ever gonna use an ice type move on an ice type.
Exactly!
(Do my changes sound good?)
Yeah, I always thought water should be weak to ice. How does it not even resist flying anyway?
Because Ice is supposed to be fragile? XD
Araquanid is insanely good, he literally carried me the whole game
why mine sucks :(. that speed is so bad
Speed isn’t the factor that’s good, it’s water move damage is
tbqh, yeah he was pretty good main game, but end game and post game where all my mons are the same levels as npc? he is not carrying his weight
Once he gets liquidation it’s all over, trust me, he’s REALLY good
It might just be yours?
his defense should be his attack and his spdef his speed. that would be amazing
Not really, competitively he works as a bulky attacker… which by the way, can hit harder than banded Azumarill
Def is fine, he doesn’t need higher attack because of his ability. Sp. def is great too, higher speed would be nice.
It’s not speed that’s needed, using one competitively, I can say his biggest flaw is HP, trust me on that
True, very true.
Here’s what I run
AV/Choice band
Liquidation
Lunge (defense is the lower defense so lowering Attack of the opponent is nice)
Poison jab (good fairy killler move)
What about leech life?
I forgot to list that XD , I do run LEECH life as well
i really love that he has access to both lunge and liquidation. Reducing the attacking and defensive stats while recovering with leech life? whew
It’s pretty insane, only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t get U-turn and its weakness to stealth rock
he will have a good run in RU for sure
Ru? Like hell
UU minimum, he hits far too hard
Possibly even OU, depending on how common Tapu Koko is
maybe banlist but i cant see him being UU atleast post bank
Even post bank he won’t be lower than UU, his hardhittingness and bulk
Hes essentially a bulky water darmanitan
the hp is what hinders him, like fine give him a terrible speed stat but they should have blessed him with average hp like 75 or 80
True, his HP hinders him, but Rotom-W has only 55 speed
Trust me, he can still work very well in a bunch of ways
Lana’s araquanid is OP
I should know being that I used one in game and competitively
I wanna use one…
Do it, it’s worth it
The only problem is that I was planning on using Golisopod on my Litten team and that’s only team it could really go on :/ I like them both a lot
Damnit m8
Golisopod basically always has Wimp out, do ya really wanna do that?
I just love the design so much ;-;
I can see that, I do too… in fact I have six of wimpods competitively bred
Nice, I need to do that once I beat the game.
I can trade you one
I don’t have anything good to offer in return atm. I have some 5IV lapras, gible, charmander, shinx, pancham, and honedge stuck in gen 6 though :/
Do you happen to have any apricorn balls?
I do, but I’m trying to save em 🙁 I’m sorry!
Nuuuuu I was gonna ask for one XD
That’s what I’ve been doing, I ask for Apricorn balls
In exchange I trade competitive mons
That’s pretty smart. If I ever have an extras I will let you know (GF should just give us an update that lets us buy them, it’s straight BS we only get one each)
Thanks! And I hope so
What game are you playin?
Sun right now! I’m getting Moon for Christmas.
Ooh! I might want a version exclusive
I might be able to help with that! I just beat Po town so I think I have access to all the exclusives…for the most part
Hmm
Tirtouga?
I can do that.
Awesome
Do you want to do it now? Also, do you want it nicknamed anything
Yes and nope
Do you want a nickname?
Uhhh I guess Mirelurk
okey
cool cool cool
FC?

Okay how do I trade in SM lol
First head to festival plaza
Got it, I’m connecting to the internet as we speak
You’re on?
Yes, are you Alanna?
Nope, Ryan
Are you not on the internet or somethin?
I am, someone named alanna was just asking to trade. Glad I didn’t accept lol
Here ya go
You’re the best, dude. Thanks!
yw :3
I recommend a Lycanroc
Not midnight though
It’s trash in every way and looks like… well… him
Stat spread is so bad, combined with meh movepool and not good typing = bye
And again, it looks like.. him
Who are we referring to? When you say Him I think of the powerpuff girls villain xP
…what’s up wolf pack…
What does this meeaaaan
….Verlisify
Ohhh forget him. I actually do like the lycanroc midnight design, although they screwed it with bad stats and also no acceleroc
I actually dislike Lycanroc as a whole tbh
Midday’s design is so nice though, it’s a shame.
My opinions
Midnight I utterly hate
And Lycanroc looks like a rocky dog to me
I have to admit, I was very disappointed with Rockruff., considering my expectations
wait, so are you telling me they gave acceleroc to the fast mon but no priority to the slow one? okay.gif
Yeah it makes NO sense. Special move for one form and not the other. Lycanroc Midnight gets Counter instead lmao
that so dumb lol i hate gf sometimes
I’d say NP Salazzle, it sweeps
I… wouldn’t restart the game, this is Pokemon, just catch more Pokemon and grind until they catch up. With the exp system they have it shouldn’t take long.
Story spoilers ahead.. What I feel happened to certain characters post-game.
A storm caused by a stirred Lugia caused a kanto-bound ship to be hit by a cyclone killing all aboard. As the officials searched the wreckage they stumbled upon a woman embracing a young girl in a protective manner.
R.I.P Lillie
ENOUGH
😛 Am I the only one who didn’t like ….Lillie….?
yeah lol
Lol I just want to slap her so much during those “this is my z-move form” phase. XD
let ha finally become a true trainer
Never!!!!
Probably. I liked some other Alola characters more than your spoilered thing… but I still like the spoilered thing.
Ok you lost your internet privileges. What were you thinking putting such blasphemous trash online for the world to see? Disgusting
Lol Everyone else was posting their Lillie hopes and dreams. I really found her character to be obnoxious the more she developed. XD
If this post were any darker, it would be encased in a Dusk Stone.
😛
I thought it was tragic, yet sweet. Plis pikemon has had its dark moment throughout the years.
completely unrelated, my over broke halfway through cooking a huge turkey. that’s $30 wasted lol
turking after thanksgiving? wild
I had to work the holiday lol
TBH, I’m bummed they got rid of Super Training for the pokepelago island that EV trains. It takes way longer that way. Like 15+ hours to get a fully EV trained pokemon. I liked super training cause I could keep them at level one and max their EV’s 🙁
Same here. I liked having lvl 1s with maxed EVs…
Just realized I was mixing up EV’s and IV’s for a sec lol. But yeah, it wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t take so damn long
well, if its any consolation, SOS chains are the fastes way to EV train yet.
I know, but I like using EV & IV trained pokemon in play throughs, which is why super training was so great cause they’re level 1 🙁
yeah I could see that. I know a lot of people do that so it is kinda a bummer
also where the heck is the lucky egg? i have talked to kukui but no lucky egg yet. Do i need to catch 50 mons or see 50?
Don’t get it till post game. And it’s catch.
ahhh im already post game :p. but havent catch pokemon at all lol.
I’ve only been catching new ones and alolan forms and I got up to 60 right now. Still need some more too
my mind would be blown if they brought Mirror B. and Loverina back in a main series game. love those characters.
Does anyone know where is Mr. Ian?
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemontrades/comments/5f9rrc/extreme_giveaway_all_startersraresluxury_ball/
(I can do this easily XD)
This is the type of business that makes you have good 5IVs with HA and 4 egg moves. Unfortunately it doesn’t make you good at battling, Earthen killed my entire and I couldn’t even faint one of his mons
I has a six iv ditto to help
i am having trouble connecting to my wifi. should i blame my 2ds or my wifi?
Try deleting the connection and re-adding/testing it. If that doesn’t work then you can blame your wifi.
Hey so when shiny chaining… what do we do about struggle? Cause I didn’t even get thirty in before the Sneasle killed itself.
Switch the mon calling here and there
Oh. I was under the assumption you couldn’t kill the OG
No worries mate
ok i killed the corsola so mareanie could stay and call its same pokemon and it never called for help
I don’t think Mareanie does call for help, im not sure
um gamefreak sucks. the hunt for regenerator Mareanie will be a pain
Guys does anyone have a Pokemon with Parting Shot?
Sivally gets it
But he’s doesn’t breed :/
A-Persian is the best option IMO
I think Pangoro is easier because it isn’t a happiness evo.
But Fur coat lets you live long enough to use it and your fast as all hell
I guessed it’s for breeding, BTW. Pangoro learns it by levelup.
Actually I am trying to breed a Meowth with Parting shot because it doesn’t learn it by level up
at lv 85…
Wait seriously?!
Man it’s so weird. It says I joined Feb. 2016 even tho I’ve been here since 2013. Maybe I made a new account? But I don’t remember doing that. I definitely changed my name from CharizardKing to Pokemania88 but I don’t remember making a new account… I don’t know why I’m only writing this now.
Testing SOS chaining on Caterpie… 75 in… This doesn’t feel any better or worse than Horde battles.
110 in
130… I’m just gonna go to bed.
Fight Tapu Lele with Calm Abra…
…end up with Timid Tapu Lele. Fine…
It’s only a 50% chance to get it
I know, but that is a decent nature as well, so I took it…
That’s pretty damn good
That’s what I thought maybe but that’s for confirming it; it wasn’t a bad decision after all. 🙂
Yep! Best nature I believe!

Laura Kate Dale has been blacklisted by Nintendo UK. So I think we can safely assume the leaks of Pokémon Stars, summer Zelda release and Pikmin 4 are true.
To everyone who complains about the Tapus
Nihilego would like to have a word with you 😉
And why is it a Rock type? Why always dual types? Pure Poison would have been perfectly fine lol
XD cause stab power gem?
Anyways, choice specs, it has special Attack moxie, this mon is literally sleeper of the century along with Araquanid (both of which I knew would be higher tier)
The Rock typing helps me destroy Arcanines and Marowaks.
Exactly
It’s made of glass
Glass is sand isn’t it? So wouldn’t Ground/Poison make more sense or am I overthinking things?
It actually has a little more in common with mercury
https://67.media.tumblr.com/a60fd452d4580c68cf4bd7253fa4bb39/tumblr_mv100fpKBn1ssx15qo1_500.jpg
Also we have mono-Poison and Poison/Ground. Nihilego is actually a brand new typing pair which is pretty damn nice.
Things a beast. Highly over looked.
I’m now SRing Type: Null. Target is Timid, Modest or Naive.
It’s taking a while! I wish I could skip all that dialogue…
Timid? Nah breh
I went for jolly
Well I thought: Surf, T-Bolt, Ice Beam and Flamethrower are 90 power just like Multi-Attack…
Omg hunting a Modest Pichu turns out to be more frustrating than I thought. 2 hours in and still nothing ffs
Why modest over timid
Either modest or timid but so far no succes.
But breed?
How? Don’t have a Pichu or Pikachu on Sun so that still leaves me with the same problem
Wait is this for a playthrough? If so then goodluck. If not just breed a female pichu with something Modest holding an ever stone
Its initially for playthrough in Moon yes
What should hold the everstone, Pichu or the other?
You need a female Pichu, and something from the Field egg group that is Modest who will be holding everstone.
Timid IMO is WORLDS better, you don’t wanna be outsped by the threats, yknow?
