Question:
Why the hell did Pallosand have to suck? If its ability was like storm drain we’d actually have a decently high tier mon… ground and fire was seriously needed for the mons released this gen…. and we got Alolan Marowak and Salazzle
Because Gamefreak is phoning it in
I just think Pallosand was an oversight
Nope because what fucking good is Water Compaction WHEN THERE’S ONLY 3 PHYSICAL WATER MOVES
I mean it was an oversight because it was clear they didn’t realize that water absorb was needed on it
Nope pushing gimmick single abilities
Because Reciever is amazing on a pokemon like Passimian… right?
Unless you can effectively use an ability of an ally
Especially in singles where it doesn’t even work
They are pushing doubles. 🙂
Huge/Pure Power or Wonder Guard are the prime candidates for passing.
As is speed boost and beast boost
Wonder Guard can’t be passed.
Why isn’t Primarina as good as it should be is what I’m trying to figure out. Its my favorite Pokemon but I just cant find a set that works
Because, it’s VERY limited in movepool
Decidueye on the other hand will be OU if they decide to give him Leech Seed
🙁
Why did they try to make it mixed user and then give it shit special movepool
Tapu Koko says Alola
They don’t think things through sometimes.
Exactly
Araquanid also says hello as he tries to jam the tm for U-turn into his face to make it work
In Koko’s case, they probably have.
Watch it get Superpower and Gunk Shot as tutor moves…
I’m calling it…. watch it be Incineroar 2.0 in moves it doesn’t get. Did you know Incineroar doesn’t learn fire punch?
I bet the tutor will give it all elemental punches…
Also why fire punch when it can flare blitz…
Because it’s previous form was a cat known for punches, which it can’t even do
Well… there’s a lot of gameplay vs pokedex weirdness though… and torracat won’t have been the first victim…
It’s beautiful though
What do you mean “if”? Do you mean move tutors?
Leech seed I mean
Yeah, I do
Hmm.
It would be great with Leech
So wait how does Sparkling Aria work? What is the advantage of it healing enemy burns?
It works best when you don’t run it
Except for Z-moving
Why does GF hate my baby
Eh, Primarina actually has it best
Decidueye has that defense to worry about because apparently it needed a 100 special attack stat. Also, no leech seed
Incineroar is a failure in every way
But its only option is a choice set and it cant function as a defensive mon when Toxapex exists.
But at least it has hope in some cases
Again, it’s not Incineroar. I’d feel bad for them but… eh
I see no advantage at all.
Well it wouldn’t matter if in a rain team that don’t run any scald/fire… but otherwise might as well use Surf which is the same thing but no burn healing.
Also can hit your buddy in doubles… to heal their burn for a sizable amount of damage…
Also for guts/flame orb sets if you’re faster which is highly unlikely considering primarina’s speed. :/
Fortunately, most guts+flame orb users are slow enough. And also won’t be investing in speed.
The time has come

Im going to be totally honest
I actually feel a little intimidated by the sheer magnitude of how big this game world actually is
Earthen made a pun accidentally… Oh my god
No I didn’t
When you use that Z-Move:

Rockruff makes chaining so much harder when it uses sandattack every turn lol
vulpix used grudge over and over wiping out my PP, Minior can explode, and Ditto is a no go because my false swiper is Goliospod, so like there are a lot of tough things to chain
oh also morelull has moonlight
Ah, can I tell you a good way to chain ditto? Some setup is required.
sure, fyi though I’m not in it for a shiny (i have one in ORAS) I just wanted to chain for some IV’s
What you need:
Smeargle with Reflect Type and Recycle
A false swiper that can hit ghosts (Decidueye/Pangoro probably, preferably Decidueye)
Haunter (or same evo line) that only knows Explosion
Something with Trick that is holding a leppa berry
Something with Damp (Poliwag probably)
1. Lead with Smeargle, make Ditto copy it.
2. Put in your Trick user, trick Leppa berry onto the Smeargle.
3. Put in your Decidueye, wait for Smeargle to copy its type
4. False Swipe the Smeargle. (Use Foresight as needed.)
5. Put in your Haunter.
6. Use Adrenaline Orb.
What should happen: Now you can just press A to reuse Adrenaline Orb mindlessly until you either see a shiny ditto or you have counted enough chains to get a 4IV. Once you see a Ditto you like or there’s enough chains, just put in the Damp Pokemon, kill the Smeargle and then catch the remaining Haunter with a Timer/Repeat Ball.
thanks but this and exceledus’s thing both seem like too much effort for me, I only get to play for a like less than an hour a day now because I’m working so much
Haha yeah but if you really want to repeatedly chain dittos, it is worth setting up.
Alternatively you can just go to r/breedingdittos and check if there’s giveaways going on.
if the below strat is too complicated, try this:
-Porygon learns recycle. use the move delete to make sure it is the only move it knows.
-Get a hypno to learn switcheroo via move tutor. make it hold a leppa berry
-find a ditto, lead with porygon. use adrenaline orb turn 1.
-switch to hypno after ditto transforms into porygon, use switcheroo to give ditto a leppa berry
-the ditto can never ko itself with struggle, because it only has recycle, which is making it constantly use a leppa berry to restore recycle’s PP. chain from there with whatever pokemon you want without worrying about it killing itself.
With Keen Eye and False Swipe, a high-enough level Fearow would be good for chaining that.
Does Hail boost water type’s stats?
No
Im confused then because my Primarina’s Sp.Df was boosted and it was hailing
I mean Sp.Atk
Hmm
oh nvm it was the Specs
yep
Good news, today I found the two TCG tins I won here on pokejungle a few years ago when they did a giveaway 😀 I think it was right around the time PJ was switching to Disqus so it’s weird how much the community has changed and thrived since then.
I’m calling it a night. See ya!
Night!
Nighto!
GET OUT
Night! Cya friend!
Oh my god https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a72a573ae4f60bb0213a3efe678dac966093fe139cfb929b6b823c85794df674.png
That’s….adorable
Cause it’s chibi Gladionnnnnnnnnnn
mainly for silvally tho
That’s also cuuuuute
I thought I was seeing the Smash Bros. logo on Silvally’s memory slot…
Luh it
😀
Just joined this forum! I’ve been on other places before, but I’m just getting used to Pokejungle. Hope to meet other people!
Alola 🙂
Alola!~ Nice to meet ya!~
Alola!
Alola!~ Nice to meet you!~
:3
Greetings and welcome to PJN!
Alola!~
hi there!
Alola! Welcome to the Pokejungle family!
Welcome to Pokejungle!
Decided to chain for shiny Klefki. Worse. Mistake. Of. My Life. The stupid thing will not stop Play Roughing me and I wasted so many full restores. It’s not worth it at all XD
thanks to the generosity of the folks at KyogreCascade, I’ve got a 6IV ditto! they are willing to provide anyone with a 6IV ditto, just by filling out their form (The form is just your IGN and the pokemon you put onto the GTS to make it easier to find you, you can remain anonymous and still get a ditto!), they also made sure it was foreign, and had the nature I requested! good folks, that’ll make my life a heck of a lot easier!
@ithsme:disqus – apparently it’s possible to overwrite a female’s Pokeball if you use the same species.
So if you have a (whatever ball) male Mareanie and bred it with Timer Ball female Mareanie, a percentage of the offspring will be in the male’s ball. Only works with same species, but that means you can now overwrite the Timer Ball that you dislike and still get an HA.
is that a new feature for sun and moon? that’s really useful to know.
Yeah another new feature, alongside male ball passing and genderless ball passing when bred with ditto.
now that you mention it, my beldums are all hatching in primier balls…
Is that good or bad? 🙂
Well if it’s coming out shiny then it’s white+white…
fingers crossed… ive had a shiny metagross in every pokemon game to date!
Looks like male pokemon aren’t completely useless anymore.
This unlocks a lot of things… like Male Dream Ball HA mons (e.g. Gen 5 Starters), along with mons whose HA was released later (Apricorn Ball males in Gen 4 can be used with later gen female HA mons…)
Dream Ball HA Kanto Starters and Pikachu are now available I believe.

I like celesteela the best. kartana’s up there though. nice nickname too!
Thanks! Do you know what tier it’s in right now? I’ve been taking a break from Showdown recently and focusing mainly on in-game breeding/exploring. I hope it doesn’t go to Ubers, because I’d love to use it!
They only have OU and Uber right now, and so far, as far as I know the only thing instabanned to ubers is Zygarde w/ Power Construct.
Yeah, that thing is crazy-broken…
So Aegislash is gone… again…
I did hear about that. I’ve never even used Aegislash, but I’ve also never had trouble taking it down. I don’t understand why Smogon is always quick to ban that ‘mon.
Read this for why <3 http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/aegislash-is-now-banned-from-ou.3588190/
It is an insanely versatile Pokémon. I often have Donphan on my OU teams, which was always able to take it out pretty easily. But yes, Aegislash gives way too many Pokémon trouble.
smogon just recently released a list of pokemon that are getting suspected to OU tier, Its a very small list, and I’m not 100% sure of all that’s on it, but for sure, I know of the following:
-Bewear
-Primarina
-Celesteela
-Guzzlord
-Pheramosa
-Xrkitree
(I think these are all correct. I’m sure they have an article somewhere. you can find)
You mean these things are getting banned from UU or banned from OU?
Araquanid isn’t on it… why?
Probably because of the one thing that makes or breaks many Pokemon in Smogon viability: STEALTH ROCK. XD
Still! Its so good!
Clearly not Ubers material they think…
I’m angry I didn’t know Kartana was a version exclusive sooner, otherwise I would’ve soft reset for it like I did with Buzzwole -_-
Actually when I was catching the Ultra Beasts I caught a Buzzwole with an Adamant Nature, which I’m very content about
How do you check the summary on the GTS? I need to trade this Celesteela for a Careful or Impish one but I can’t check the summary. Couldn’t you do that in gen 6?
We never could check stats on GTS. Especially not gen 6…
Well isn’t that great. Oh well, I’ll just wait for Magearna tomorrow to replace it with. It will probably work better on my team
anyone on right now want to lend me a hand trade evolving for the pokedex? i’d very much appreciate it, i’ll give ya a bottle cap as payment, and you’ll get these guys in your pokedexs as well!
How many trade evos are we talking? I’m checking my net right now if it’s working properly.
porygon 2, porygon z, and electivire. so…. 3
Ok great. Lemme do a wonder trade first on this wifi I just bought. (Can’t be banned on WT.)
ok. i’ll give you a gastly holding a bottle cap for my porygon z back if that’s alright. we’ll need to initiate a trade twice so I can give it the proper held item.
also, 0963-1734-7194
Sounds good. Also WT succeeded, so here’s my details.
3351-4646-9325 (ign: Pandora)
you will get a request from Edea
do you need wimpod back?
Nope, I have a lot from breeding.
That profile picture is ?
give yourself the credit you drew it 😀
Lol yeah but you made it perfect with the hiker
actually govnah did lol but yeah I had to do it when I saw he edited the pic.
The evo animation and pokedex adding is taking a while haha…
that’s alright I understand. gave it a dubious disc and ready to go!
Ok thanks for the cap and hopefully you can use that wimpod heh heh heh.
thanks a lot Malco, I appreciate it!
No prob!

You know your avatar is very pretty but please stop with the Google stuff
It’s a bot lol
Just block them if you don’t want to see it
Kurusu you are the best seriously
Magearna event starts today for North America. Tomorrow for Europe and Australia
Is it on the official site yet
Not yet. Just keep an eye on it and maybe check Serebii every hour or so. But it should be starting today
I’m not the only one who thought Magearna was supposed to be today right?
So where is it (I know on the US site for americans but), when will it be up, does anyone know?
Also is it region locked cause I do not have the Pokemon App and thats kind of a silly way to lock it away but I assume it will end up on the internet.
Its distributed via the Pokemon website for American players. Europe and Australia is via the Pokemon TV app
Yes I know that and even said that.
The questions were, “When will it be up?”, and “Is it region locked?”.
The “Where is it”, meant, “Isn’t it supposed to be up already?”
Like I said below keep an eye out on the official website and Serebii. The day is still young in America so it should go live any moment
Son of a bitch…..
I stupidly put Oranguru in with Salandit for the Sp attack regime and messed up the evs
Reload the game?
I left it in there for 34 hours numbnuts…..
I had shove all but one Hondew berries into that ape
Its a stupid monkey holding a fan. Release it before the embarassment is complete
Well sorry it kinda grew on me
It’s not! 🙂
I agree, was trying to rattle Earthen
T*at
Tssk take that back or I’m sending my glorious surfing mouse at you!
And do what hit me with Electricity or Think me to death
All useless on me
The only possible thing you can do is Grass Knot or HP Ice me
But none of that works on Incineroar
Brick Break or Focus Blast say hi
Who runs Focus Blast fine then go to plan b which is plan A
Just hammer it with Ground Attacks
I’ll just run Reflect on it to survive an Earthquake and just blast you to pieces!
Then just keep using Earthquake Reflect isn’t a wonder shield and the rat is fragile
Event Pikachu can have Surf, maybe he has that.
Which is impossible to get on regular Alolan Raichu
Yo I can’t remember was is Ithsme or Exel who was breeding Ice Punch Stuffuls?
I’m really looking forward to using Magearna. It seems like a solid Pokémon. Im going to be using a Heart Swap set. Anyone else have a competitive set in mind already for it?
Yeah I’m going to use every ounce of earthpower I can muster to smash that doohickey to scrap metal
But it’s cuuuuuute. It’s typing is also really great. It’s basically just a steel type that gets stab on fairy moves and is unaffected by dragons. That’s awesome! It is such a good anti-sweeper too with that move set and all that bulk
Cute my impacted colon
That stupid thing is going to a major pain to deal with unless you destroy it quick
Because once it gets a Shift Gear in it becomes fast enough to hurt back while having the bulk to back it up
Sadly to perfect counter this thing is a Heatran which is arguably the perfect Fairy Counter but I care not for legends so the next best thing is just hammering it with Ground and Fire
Why are you getting so many upvotes…
My cantankerous moxie is a crowd pleaser
;-;
>:[
🙁 it’s cute though
I’m not really good at competitive, but I’d probably do
Fleur Cannon
Flash Cannon
Thunderbolt/Grass Knot
Calm Mind
Nononono
Those buttwipes are going to try to use Shift Gear to give it better speed
Fluer Cannon is too risky for a sweeper because unless holding a white herb to restore the missing sp atk it’s probably going to run Dazzling Gleam in place since of the reliability
Also you will only see Ice Beam on this thing
Oh, I missed that it learned ice beam. Yeah, that’d be better for those ground types. Shift gear seems okay, but idk I feel it’d be a waste of a slot. Its speed stat is only 65, I’d rather boost sp attack and sp defense. Dazzling Gleam over fleur cannon. It’s a considerable drop in power, but I guess there’s more security in not lowering sp attack.
Speed and attack stability is the most important thing
Oooo I think maybe Darmanitan can counter this too
Resisting all attacks it can throw at it
But is it really gonna make a difference in terms of speed?
Of course
Because you want to make your moves first and chip away at your opponent before he/she does it to you
But unless you can garuentee you can resist their onslaught
See it’s always a game of who can get who into a corner first either by rushing in attacks blazing to smash their strategy or the opposite fortify yourself so nothing touches you and stalling out (this methods causes me nothing but pure anguish)
Won’t it take quite a few gear shifts to outspeed most pokemon though
Not me, I’m not really thinking about it coz it’s not gonna be vgc legal…
Aw seriously why though? Mythicals arent even in the same ballpark as legendaries
Maybe when I get to OU… I’ll see if I can slot it in a team, but I’m currently VGC focused as I have a tourney to attend on the 17th…
Soul Heart sounds like a really OP ability in competitive tbh
Isn’t it just a beast boost or a moxie
Kinda, with additional fun. In doubles, Magearna don’t need to KO the target to get the boost. This also includes the ally fainting.
As much as I like Marshadow, I feel like technician is wasted on it.
Technician Shadow Sneak WITH A BASE 125 ATTACK
That will hurt a lot
Wait, how is it 125? Won’t it be 90 base power with technician?
I meant 60, not 90.
125 is the attack stat of Marshadow, not the power of Shadow Sneak.
Oh, I was confused. Yeah, his shadow sneak will hit pretty hard, but idk, Marshadow is already really fast so other than that I don’t see much use out of it. I guess you could run force palm or rolling kick instead of close combat if you wanted.
But Marshadow is cute
Yeah, I know 🙂 I wish it had a unique ability though. It kinda screams “alternate form incoming” though so we’ll see what they do with it.
Does it get Shadow Sneak and Mach Punch? It could be a priority monster
No mach punch, but it does have shadow sneak.
Shadow Sneak, Force Palm, Shadow Punch, Rolling Kick, Pursuit, Rock Tomb, Acrobatics. These are all the somewhat worthwhile moves it can use with Technician. Stronger Shadow Sneak will likely be it’s biggest asset.
Yeah, most likely. I was just thinking that it’s already likely going to outspeed the opponent with 125 base speed, so I thought spectral thief would be better since you steal their stat boosts.
It probably is, Shadow Sneak will mainly hit stuff like Deoxys Speed, as well as out-prioritising other priority attackers, like Aegislash.
I always forget about damn aegislash (which is funny cause I have a competitive one)
It could be really important so Marshadow doesn’t take a super effective Shadow Sneak. As a physical attacker it still has to be wary of Kings Shield. It had better hope it can take down shield form Aegislash or that Sword Form tries 2 attacks in a row.
I would probably switch if my Marshadow was up against aegislash. The other player would undoubtedly use kings shield and that would just be bad.
Yeah, I’m thinking about if it’s your last ‘mon. Of course you could predict and use Protect and hope KS fails if they try it again immediately after.
I feel like most people won’t carry protect on marshadow though haha.
Probably not 😛
