Hello everyone! We’re bringing you the results of the Pokémon Mascot Showdown! There were a lot of votes, and it was a very close call, but we have a winner.
It’s Giratina, our favorite mascot from Generation 4! It won with 19% of all the votes! In celebration of Giratina, our supreme overlord, winning we’ve updated the site theme to something a little more fitting of everyone’s favorite legendary Ghost-type Pokémon!
2nd: Lugia (18%)
3rd: Rayquaza (17%)
4th: Charizard (15%)
5th: Xerneas (12%)
6th: Lunala (10%)
7th: Zekrom (9%)
Is Giratina our rightful winner? If not, which mascot should have won instead?
Thanks for the voting and we’ll see you next time!
X — EVAN
I’m glad to see most people like the winner and the new theme!
I really like the purple
This new theme is really growing on me 😮

it’s only bleeping the afternoon and i’m fed up with the day I NEED THE SWITCH
Loooooool
Giratina deserve the win.
Rayquaza should’ve won, but I like the the purple.

EarthenWarrior is the username don’t make me wait
I will never fall in hell I create it. http://is2.4chan.org/vp/1487524040216.jpg
Woh did you make this?
Nope
looks like TCG art
Hey, you’re not dead
If u look at my face I am already did but still can fight.
Well, I suppose we’re all dead in one way or another. But welcome back none the less
This has to be even better:

KILL IT KILL IT
ur crazy to ask me this.
Skarmory, toxapex, Chansey Sableye Ferrothorn and a freaking Fini…..fuck my life
You got this
i lost horribly
those Pokemon are downright cancerous
You should copy that team and name them
C (Skarmory)
A (toxapex)
N (chansey)
C (sableye)
E (ferrothorn)
R (fini)
Sidenote: I wish they would get rid of the eviolite.
Skarmory is a total pain without special sweepers
Toxapex spams regenerator and BB
Chansey just downright bulky
Sableye walls and cripples status
Ferrothorn hides behind anything to avoid Fire moves
and Fini just freaking doesn’t die
Chansey should burn, that demonic beanbag lookin bitch
all of them should be removed seriously how can you beat this team without 100% specific counters……granted a Special Electric puts a dent in it i will say but that’s not always there
Magnezone ftw
Nooo I love Eviolite it’s so good. I used Eviolite Piloswine, it wrecks
Eviolite Gurdurr is where it’s at
Yes!!
Ive used that and its sooo good
It undermines evolution, which I find deplorable
It shows I dont have to change my friends just for strength, that they can stay how they are and still be strong
Gross, everything should evolve.
I feel like I could be a villain team leader that forces evolution
Yea, you sound like you hate Ash…
Oh, I do. I really do
Only in the case of Chansey/Blissey does eviolite provide an advantage to the unevolved form.
Eviolite magikarp tho
Porygon 2 tho
Yay I love all those pokemon
Don’t play OU.
OU is a shitfest.
Also basically anything that can beat stall gets banned to Ubers.
Honestly it’s true. UU and below dont rely on stall tactics. Normally, Im ok with stall because it’s a playstyle, just like Hyper offense or balanced. But something about celesteela drives me crazy. Idk why this one mon is so annoying but it honestly hurts my heart when I see one on the other person team
I’ve barely played OU this gen, especially since bank was released. Honestly it’s not worth it. I play mainly RU now.
Honestly I may join you. The only reason I play OU is so I can use more pokemon, but the meta game is very iffy now
let me brief you in what you will see in OU
Tapus
lando
Ultra Beasts
Greninja
Magnezone
Ferrothorn
Cancerstar
Mega Sableye
What is “Cancerstar?”
Toxapex
Oh funny name, maybe you should try some lower tiers too
i do, but most of my favs are in OU….
but i will say that team i used is my OU standard team
(and i’m still extremely salty that Spore broke early like it always fucking does)
Thats how I feel too, it sucks.
except once again you end up winning and i lose
Even though I dont think many of my mons were OU, but sometimes I want to use an OU mon but OU tier drives me away
Araquanid is hilarious there only because it kills certain mons that act as people’s wincons, subsequently leading to rages and rage quits
That and Bulu is there
I play RU and UU
(Honestly UU is even worse….)
DAWGTRIOH IS BANND
A level 255 Pokémon may be banned From Ubers if its level is too abnormal.

Honestly I would have preordered a Switch if it had more than 1 game title worth spending 400+ euros for. I just cant be bothered now
well too bad you’re not getting one now
I’m buying one in May, so its not that bad tbh.
It’s best if you wait, honestly. There’s no hugely anticipated exclusive coming to the system until summer.
Speaking of competitive battling
http://challonge.com/CasualSm
Tourney is next week! Please make your teams. Prepare to battle
I have to ask something about it
RIP me
i am just so stinking bored… parts of me want to bust out the gamecube and mario sunshine but that gamecube and game are 14 years old……
Aren’t Gamecubes virtually indestructable?
the scanner thing craps out and doesn’t read discs sometimes
I wish us and pokejungle could make our own friggin tiers … they’d be more balanced and not have DUGTRIO in Ubers
ban Toucannon
top tier terrible
Umm, no
Not my shiny one
Let Fruity be!
ban toucannon
ew Giratina. RIP Lugia, you’ll always be #1 in my heart
You mean “woo, Giratina one of the best choices?”
thank you for giving me this opportunity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkE83Zu8z58
thats it im dead this killed me this is the funniest thing ever
*takes a bow*
Well, Giratina is also super cool but Lugia is just the best. At least Lugia has a freaking awesome movie
yass
Ho-oh…
;_;
SWINUBS ARE FUCKIN RARE GAIZ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e38e6c54947e29a6ffb625d8b4508f0215c46e52b76e9d7434d7fbb2c8640177.png
Woah NSFW
XD
But seriously they’re everywhere
I don’t have any near me 🙁
Although I did just catch a Xatu (@ShinyXatu:disqus)
I got one tooooo!
I got remoraids up the wall by my bowling alley
You might as well just pack it up now, you’re not going to get anything better.
I got one too, evolved it
well turns out Sunshine didn’t hold up, and also if i’m gonna play the Switch it’s definitely gonna be the basement since the picture quality is no where near satisfactory levels for the greatness that will be Breath of the wild
HERE WE GO Y’ALL CHAMPION STEVEN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XbAj4xMCWA
Them Gen 3 Trumpets
OK WOW THIS BATTLE IS HARDER THAN I EXPECTED IT TO BE
I honestly can’t wait for Gen 8 to introduce a priority Flying type move that a lot of Pokemon can have. Then we don’t have to see the UB cockroach anymore.
Seriously, I am so sick of seeing it on Showdown.
NO NO NO NO NO
NO MORE FLYING BUFFS
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
(Comfey hilariously bodies Phero)
Is anyone here? Or more accurately who is
I’m here! Trying to solve a bunch of proofs though so might not be super active
Okay! And Hai!
HELP MEGA METAGROSS IS DESTROYING MY TEAM
……Cry? That thing is busted
Me, but i’m in a swirl maelstrom of self loathing unrelenting boredom and hunger
Just spent all of last night watching Pokken Dlc character footage and can safely say…
.Machamp gets a new friend in bottom tier (Scizor)
.Please petition to have the broken pile of nut known as Darkrai removed from the game
.Empoleon is my new main
Croagunk is one of THOSE pokemon
Better nerf Darkrai
I’m serious though, I watched one of the best Pikahus get slaughtered by Darkrai without even leaving Field Phase one time!
Darkrai is so hard to knock out, it just comes in and fucks you up so incredibly bad
It’s scurry
Very scurry indeed
I can post footage if ya want
Suuure
Sorry for the ultra cringe commentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ygx_UJ6WAg
Rest In Peace Pikachu
1996-2017
Like that was NOT okay XD
All I have to say is PLEASE GIVE US THE DLC CHARACTERS!!!
I recently got back into Pokken and I suddenly care that we don’t have them yet.
SAME
Empoleon is INSANE
Pikachu Libre is still my one and only
Ah
I play a lot of it too
I don’t really play competitively, or even play that well even, but it’s pretty fun nonetheless. Hoping for a Switch port now TBH.
I feel like there will be
(EMPOLEONNNN)
What tier is garchomp in? I feel like I do pretty poorly against garchomp players.
I think he’s near bottom? If you aren’t prepared he’s scary due to his bullyish playstyle
You’ll probably do worse against Empoleon who does that too
I despise the fact that he can hit through shield with certain attacks. That’s just nasty.
What are the top tier characters then?
Braixen, Mewtwo
Oh, Empoleon has that too… and also has punishes that slaughter you if you don’t hold down shield
I can show ya too
I do pretty well against both of those characters actually, huh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNZ5O5BBEsA
You’ll hate him. see why here
WOW OK AFTER SUCH AN EASY GAME THAT STEVEN BATTLE WAS INSANE
I lost 4 team members just trying to burn hit Metagross only to lose Banette and I had to rely on Milotic. Metagross kept using Giga Impact which saved me because I could heal and attack while only taking half of my HP in damage because of the burn.
WOW
I’m somewhat glad that the champion battle in ORAS was harder because of that absolute lack of difficulty in XY, it was good for a change of pace to have Steven’s Metagross be hard.
Also, what’s you final team like (levels, moves, etc.)?
Mako – Blaziken – 53
Violet – Roserade – 52
Mary – Banette – 55
Vanity – Milotic – 55
Melody – Altaria – 56
Esme – Meowstic – 53
I like it 😀
I really enjoyed this team!
Glad you did enjoy it! What are you planning to play next after this?
I want to do a Heart Gold nuzlocke down the road, but next up for me is Twilight Princess with some Stardew Valley and Overwatch on the side
Twilight princess
Yuck
Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are the best Zeldas
I imagine it’s a good game under an ugly coat of paint. As petty as this sounds, I really truly can’t get past the art style. It’s just unnecessarily dark. Like I get that’s part of the game and all but it just makes playing the game not fun.
But yeah, WW is awesome.
It’s the teenage fanfic of the Zelda series I’m guessing
And link is a WOLF
Makes sense
WELCOME BACK WOLF….
Nevermind
(WHY IS THAT JOKE SO EASY TO MAKE!?)
Lol maybe it is super edgy but I love wolf link. Midna is also my favorite Zelda character ever so…
also my brother bought me the Wolf Link Amiibo so I’m happy about that 😛
Midna also is mine too,
I think TPHD fixed it up a bit. I mean, I wouldn’t know I’m playing the Wii version but I actually love the art style even if I have to play it in a dark room or with the brightness up
That’s what I played, though. xD
I guess it’s just me then, idk. I’m so glad Zelda didn’t continue with that style anyway.
So Milo killed the Meta
for me my Minun killed it XD
Seriously the only way to beat that thing is to take advantage of the Giga-Impact
Besides Minun who was thirsty for blood
Got some fanmons here..
Cool! What are they like?
Lemme post em!
(Will probably repost later due to you star and chip being the only ones here atm
I beg to differ.
Didn’t see ya :3
Hai!
Nah you couldn’t have. I just stop in randomly these days, hoping it will eventually get busier again.
I see whatcha mean
Busy, you say?
Let the spamming commence!
Quality not quantity! 😛
I’ll have you know that my spamming is of the top percentage
Like Joey’s Rattata
You know what they also say…rule conformity is comfy and easy to wear.
As much as I hate on the ORAS credits, it sure makes the town themes sound much better. The regular town themes in game are just so bland
I loved the ORAS credits….
Sure they weren’t anything spectacular, but they gave me a trip down memory lane of my journey, which no other pokemon game has done.
Same, its very entertaining to watch what your big parts of your Hoenn adventure were. And it was somewhat nostalgic to see your first rival battle and gym battle.
That’s why the best part of the SM credits was the end, with the picture rotom took of you and the friends entering hau’oli city.
I thought that (at first when taking that picture at Hau’oli) was just a “remember-the-jounrey-thing”, similar to Shauna and the fireworks. But when they showed that at the end of the credits, it had such a richer meaning, almost making me cry.
Except I went into Hau’oli at first at night in sun, and so the game took the picture as if it was day. Totally broke the immersion but the point was clear.
They’re fine, I’m just salty that they interupted the beautiful credits with a town medley
Pokdex Entry: 147
Candief
Classification: The Candy Lover Pokemon
Height: 1’04
Weight:
Type: Ghost/Fairy
Ability: Candy Crook/Kleptomaniac
Stats:
HP: 20
Attack: 50
Defense: 20
Special Attack: 20
Special Defense: 30
Speed: 100
Base Stat Total: 240
Pokedex Entry: This ghostly pokemon has an unhealthy obsession for sweet tasting goods and prioritizes them over almost anything else. This childlike pokemon is good at using its cuteness to win over its target in order to take what it desires. For, rather obvious reasons, it tends to get along extraordinarily well with children. It is rather cowardly in personality.
Evolves Level 27 when a rare candy is used on it. (Note: This Candy can be used to get it to level 27)
Pokedex Entry: 147
Sugurglar
Classification: The Sweet Snatcher Pokemon
Height: 2’01
Weight: 36.2
Type: Ghost/Fairy
Ability: Candy Crook or Kleptomaniac (Deciding between these two names
Stats:
HP: 60
Attack: 100
Defense: 50
Special Attack: 60
Special Defense: 75
Speed: 120
Base Stat Total: 465
Pokedex Entry: Although its personality has not changed, its desire for sweets has only increased. It has changed from using charm to take its desired things to flat out stealing; an art it is extremely proficient in. Unlike its pre-evolution, Candief, this Pokemon is rather brave and will fight if it is necessary. It uses its blinding speed to circle around its opponent before striking whenever it sees an opening.
Candy Crook/Kleptomaniac: If this Pokemon is on the field with any other pokemon that has a berry or candy item, it steals it and takes the effect.
(Basically anti trevenant)
Another fairy ffs
I actually haven’t released a fairy yet I think, I dunno
I have as much fairies as I do other types
They should all die except for Klefki and Koko
Eh, it’s a type so I’ll work with it
it’s kinda a mishmash of Swirlix and Klefki
i just never liked the idea of Pokemon of any kinda liking human made sweets or based around it just rubs me the wrong way,
I get what ya mean, but this wouldn’t be the first time (I actually saw this as a mix between Slurpuff and that one Teddiursa from the anime)
also don’t forget Pickpocket is already a ability
I know, but this isn’t on contact
The draw back is that it ONLY takes those sorts of items
I almost made it consumables than I remembered Focus sash and Gems and said nono to dat
same for Magician
But it’s more specific.. and instant
(Sees Candief)
Pretty cool idea, with it having a candy obsession and it being Ghost/Fairy
(Sees 100 Speed)
Hot damn that thing is fast
Yeah, this thing is supposed to be fast AF
But literally anything will kill it
Sadly yes, that poor bulk won’t do too well in LC..
But that thing is a speedster.
Basically
It’s probably low tier, but it’s gonna be a cutesey mon anyways
For any anime fans out there, I watched Whisper of the Heart last night. It made me so happy and I very nearly cried (for reference, The Wind Rises was one of the only movies that has ever made me crack). Both of those movies and Spirited Away are probably my favorites from Studio Ghibli.
Miyazaki knows how to tug dem strings, but i can’t do animes anymore….my body just can’t control itself……Diane…….
ANIMUS
Sooooooo you gonna watch Season 2?
no……..i’m still trying to get over her…..
same goes for that Dragon maid anime that’s getting popular and this one thing where this guy works for a boardinghouse for the naga lady and other mythical creatures
Ahhh
Ah, welll I’m gonna
once you go strange you never go back…
Yesh
–__– why won’t this day end i really want to drown my sorrows in cola
I prefer to drown my sorrows into Stardew Valley. I have a cool farm but it isn’t cool enough yet
I want to drown my sorrows in Animal Crossing Switch. Get on it, Nintendo.
it’s probably in the works, may i remind you that as the month’s go by we grow closer to the summer and that means E3, and don’t forget that what was shown at the presentation clearly wasn’t everything in development
i have a pretty good faith that we will see a Animal Crossing Switch title as well as the next installment of Smash
My weekend has been opposite of yours, sorry to say. Yesterday I took the pledge to attempt physical fitness again, so I’ve lost about 800-1000 calories so far (since yesterday) doing the treadmill and stationary bike. I have a good 10-15 pounds I’d like to lose. I guess my point is, you could be feeling great too if you play your cards right. I know how hard it can be.
yeah i’m in no position to lose weight, i work alot and a notorious glutton with bad flat feet, also my years of stress make me unable to lose a damn pound…..
So like.. why hasn’t Nintendo announced a Switch pre-release Nintendo Direct to get the last details out?
I could see them announcing that in just a couple days for this Thursday. Totally possible!
what details? we have basically everything about it minus games that weren’t shown
IDK but there has to be more to tell people before it comes out
screen
controllers
dock
Click sound
what else
More games? Virtual Console and eShop info, Details on the Zelda DLC, Details on the Online service
IDK, my guess is that they won’t at this point.
