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.

X — EVAN
Sun and Moon are absolutely heartless.
They show the percentage pokedex completion every time I catch something, and becauze I’m a sucker for percentages it’s low key forcing me to try and complete the pokedex to get 100%…
Im at 18% 🙁
Does anyone have a pichu or pikachu with thunderpunch? ;-;
Fifty percent of the Pokedex collected 😀
Wow o.o I still need to catch all the UBs and explore poni island and get to the battle tree
Same here, I’m just evolving my boxed stuff whilst looking for Relcianth because fishing is evil
Why on earth is Crabrawler available on the first island if you can’t evolve it until right at the end of the story?
Probably because it fits with the Berry trees which are across the whole region
I don’t mind location based evolution. But if this were the case, Crabrawler should have been a 3 stage line.
Grubbin says Alola
Grubbin too
Honestly I think Grubbin is a bit worse, being the regional bug
(Insert that one kid from X and Y in the bug gym who says
“Bug types evolve fast!”
Kid obvi never met Volcarona
I found a thing for that where it had a Larvesta below a picture of that at it said something like
“I’m Sorry, but say that again?”
lol
Yeah :3
I am in tears Charjabug and Crabrawler can’t evolve until right before the Pokemon League. Good rustle by GF imo
TBF they both carry themselves decently
I was gonna use Grubbin in Moon but I’ll just get Dewpider now instead. Don’t wanna go through that again.
Grubbin and Charjabug are great. I’d have loved to be able to have Vikavolt on my team for major story stuff, but Charjabug has been a solid team player that hasn’t held me back.
YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!! DEWPIDER BUDDY!!
(Araquanid is worth)
Araquanid king and he evolves fast and water bubble is an amazing ability
I should know, I used one on my team, and I use one competitively
Crabrawler gets pretty bad during the second half of the game.
And Crabrawler isn’t exactly worth the effort
And it barely gets to attack
Exactly…. and Crabominable is a friggin SLOW ice fighting type
Yes! Crabrawler was like an ace the first part. It soon was just kinda just fragile and died to everything
Mine is pretty good.

To those who care
I have bred…
Dhelmise
Mimikyu
Komala (They carry play rough, an egg move)
Togedemaru
(And I am in the process of breeding Wimpod)
Am willing to trade them for either Apricorn balls or a Turtonator
Why in god’s name does…
Neither Bulu Or Koko get play rough
Incineroar not get sucker punch or pursuit
Decidueye not get Leech seed
Araquanid not get U turn
Tapu Fini not get any form of recovery besides Aqua ring
Is it crazy that’m 55 hours in and I’m only just now entering the Vast Poni canyons? lol Granted a few of those hours are me attempting to find specific Pokemon or testing out SOS chaining/breeding, but not many hours that’s for sure. The majority of them is from me playing the story/keeping my team balanced for each trial. Longest run for a Pokemon story I’ve ever had that’s for sure lol
I was in the upper thirties and I kinda rushed a bit on Island three to try and get Togedemaru faster
The male swimmer trainer model though -barf-

That pose just makes me cringe so hard
Why would he not show off those guns tho
He could do that without looking so pedo-ish
Happy for Lockstin he has a cameo in S/M
Does anyone want to battle royale with in game teams?? Theyre fun
(Raises hand)
I would but my whole team was blessed with terrible ass natures
Lol 4 of all the pokemon i caught have not bad natures. (1 is on my team) So i think you will be fine
We need an internet connection for that right?
Yup sorry
Yea it’s no problem. I am at the airport right now so not much I can do about it.
Everybody completing their dex, but im here with a living dex in my bank waiting for transfer to open ☕☕
I’ve got a living Dex but I’m just doing this to occupy and get spares
I too have one. Just seemed like a fun way to fully appreciate the region.
But that’s no fun IMO.
Fun to me, but i wonder because everytime you get a new pokemon the dex realizes it and shows you the indo. So if I transfer the whole pokemon… Will i get 700+ Dex entries??
There’s no National Dex in the game so no, presumably you’d either get no pop ups since they up straight to your boxes or only those of Alolan Pokedex mons you don’t have yet
That also reminds me will they a national dex. They should, but i dont know if the would
I might be way off on this but I could have sworn when they announced all the updates coming to Bank that they said it was going to act as a National Dex and connect to your games.
Why does Bruxish have a 1% encounter rate? Its ridiculous
Those lips are too good
In an area where 2 Pokemon are available. One Gen 7 mon and one Gen 1 mon, let’s make the encounter rate 95:5 in favour of the Gen 1 mon. Trolololol
How I imagine GF came up with these decisions
20% if there are bubbles coming up
When you’re fishing bubbles and Magikarp shows up

I may be late to the party, but just realised Lillies long lost dad who no one knows where he is, the guy who discovered ultra space, is called Mohn, and so is the Poke Pelago Guy.
The Poke Pelago guy is Lillies Dad.
The Poke Pelago guy is the reason everything happened.
Oh and Anabel travelling across dimensions from presumably emerald is cool too.
IT ALL COMES TOGETHER ON POKE PELAGO
oh w o w
Good grief I accidentally stumbled upon the sad Machamp death scene while looking for Umbreon!
Good lord the Umbreon user was beaten by his son that’s so sad
Man now that I have Machamp as a Poke ride I don’t need to walk anywhere now! I could just let Machamp carry me for the rest of eternity and I’d be happy lol
Hats off to GF for removing the need of HM slaves
Now we need Z-Move slaves!
Post-game spoilers
I can’t believe Nebby is a father/mother
Oh yah!
They grow up so fast. :’)
Ughhhhhhhh my family keeps bugging me to do chores
I should be trying to chain 50 Dittos for a 4IV one
50 dittos isnt 4iv its only 30 (maybe 40) youre just doing more work
Whatever I’ve been hyper busy the last 2 weeks
And it personally scorns me that everyone is prospering while I’m anchored by responsibilities
Despite that having nothing to do with pokemon, are you gonna be battling this game or will stay on showdown? And do you still refuse to battle me?
We’re all anchored with responsibilities. Some are just good at pretending they don’t have any.
i was lucky enough to get corsola on my first try but i was lazy and captured a lame marearnie
Question, does Golisopod need Speed IVs?
It would
It can’t just rely on FI and Aqua Jet
Good to know… Damn breeding Wimpod is frustrating AF
Always put IVs in speed unless youre using gyro ball or trick ropm
Alright so far I have Dittos of
Modest
Jolly
Calm
All I need is, Adamant, Timid (in the process), Impish, Bold, Careful
Then I’ll have all eight essential natures for any competitive Pokemon
And I’m clearly not the only one, I’ve been WT every other hour and I’ve seen a ton of Abras
I can give Adamant and Timid when i get the chance
Ditto or Abra
Either
Can I catch a vulpix before going to poni island?
Nupe
It’s an encounter in Tapu Village, you can get it before Totem Mimikyu and Nanu
Riiiiiiight I chained a Snow Warning there
Yes, Tapu Village
Omg I could’ve gotten one ages ago xd
The first one I caught was timid thank god
Stop calling for backup Ditto
I need all to be 100% me captured in Repeat Balls so I can nickname them their natures
Timer balls are best for them with my experiencd
FRACK ITS LAX that makes three Dittos that failed the synchronization test
Besides Repeat Balls look like double helixs
Has sync worked yet?
I have spent 2 hours and barely got any
I have been told sync doesnt work on sos pokemon though so maybe thats why
I only catch the first one
And the Minior surprisingly have the right nature
What do you mean you catch the first one
Process
I have a Synchro Kadabra in first (fainted) still works
Scyther in next slot
-False Swipe
Then catch
If it calls for help I brick break the oncoming Ditto
!!! Earthen you are doing it wrong.. No wonder why you havent got 4iv lol its surprising you got 3iv
I’m nature hunting ya dingus
Oh well carry on then ???. Lol my bad
Siiiiiiigh
I tell ya XY was the golden age, breeding, natures, EV training, I miss it
The one thing this game has breeding wise is quick IV checker
I agree but i feel a little better breeding with my own legut ditto and a legit jpn one rather than probably cheated 6iv.ev training was easier though
If only they didn’t screw us and let IVs be passable after hyper
If only they gave us battle frontier
If only they gave us ground fighting
If only they gave us 6iv ditto free event
The list goes on
We can say if only until the dawn of time, but it wont change anything. Lets live in the here and now, and that will make us all happier ?
If only Crabominable was fast
Replace crabominable with most gen 7
Crabominable needs it more than most do, hence why I named him in specific
