- Level: 60
- Ability: Electric Surge
- Held Item: Electric Seed

This is certainly an event not to be missed and will hopefully make it to English speakers soon!
My Guardian arrived and it is the tits!

This is beautiful.
I don’t get where to island with the shrine is supposed to be. I did the maze thing though, was amazing with a good reward. 🙂
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe i confused it with another location
i have a big ass in my room i’ll try and pin point the location
You sure it’s near the Akkala Tech lab and you didn’t confuse it with Hateno tech lab? There are more islands to the coast of Hateno.

HE REALLY TRIED TO MAKE IT *COUNT*
T_T that dungeon was pitifully easy…
ok wow why isnt Tapu Lele in ubers again?
Smogon are fools
IDK what is with them this gen. I got swept by a Tapu Lele with Psychock. Like, no boosts or anything
Because “We don’t know enough about them yet”
That was the excuse they used when people questioned why Dugtrio was being banned instead
confirmation that Clefable is a god

Not a fan of Verlis, but this is actually a good vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2yqacrMQeg
well i get that hacking isn’t good for the game and all but what if they where cheated in like the 4th or 5th generation games like i feel like it’s okay if they where bred and stuff but whatever i don’t do competitive so i guess my opinions aren’t valid on this.
His excessive use of caps is oh so obnoxious.
Yes but he exposes Wolfe in this vid, used PkHex to build his 2016 VGC team
Is that champion or something? I’m not overly familiar with VCG and stuff
Yes he won the world championships 2016
Is he not being punished?
No because the Pokemon Company doesnt actually care about hacked teams, if they would hand out punishments it’ll lose them players and as a result, money.
Seems like an excuse. I guess it’s not the biggest issue, but still lame
Eh i do get why people are upset over this though? Its effectively cheating, dont see the charm in that at all
Agreed.
Time. It can take a couple hours to breed a whole team, but only a couple minutes to just hack one.
I mean… not all hacking is wrong… I mean… what if one was to breed an entirely legal mon of a hacked mon
I personally believe it’s because the company has more important things to do than chase down legal mons within illegal pokeballs
Eh, Verlis has been proven to gen his own mons and was also proven to make cheating videos for the sake of views. Don’t bother trusting him
Only watched the first minute or so, but I agree It’s not hacking, it’s using mathematics to predict an outcome.
Manipulation of the games built in coding at best, but not modifying it in any way.
Didn’t watch the video, but I do genuinely agree on his point of view about hacking, most of the time at least.
Ok so don’t kill me here, but why is hacking a Pokémon for a high level competition if it’s legal?
Its not legal but the Pokemon Company doesnt bother with handing out punishments because it’ll cost them too much money
Oh shoot I typed this wrong but I was asking why it isn’t ok
Because they can instantly generate perfect 6IV Hyper Trained teams from scratch in under 10 minutes?
Honestly its more of a morality issue then a legal one. Its very difficult to check hacked pokemon since even if people bring up ways that it can be checked, it’ll quickly be corrected by hackers and even then it doesn’t really make much of a difference in the grand scheme since hacked pokemon can’t be better then the game would legally allow.
Really it just comes down to saying that someone got their team in a matter of minutes compared to others who would spend hours-days depending on the game to get the same team, and people argue that hacking in general is wrong, which is why its a pretty gray/divided issue among people.
Okay, lemme explain.
Certain stats must exist for a mon to be legal. A person may cut some corners in the breeding process to give the Pokémon moves/abilities they want easier in order to not spend years and years farming and breeding. While there may not be anything inherently wrong with the Pokémon, the arguement is that it was cheated in so it automatically is a bad Pokémon, no matter the actual legality of it
I don’t like to complain about stuff, but Smogon’s been making really stupid decisions this generation. I sorta understand for Dugtrio in Ubers (though also why tho), but why the hell is Cresselia, Hawlucha, Milotic, and Entei in RU? They are all great Pokemon to use, plus you can transfer them from ORAS, which has tutors you can teach them before transferring.
Cresselia may be a very good wall, but its offenses are pretty bad, so the only way for this thing to really kill is it must really stall it out, and with the addition of great steel types it’s easily countered. Also bug types got a major boost this gen as well. With Excadrill, mimikyu, kartana, Celesteela, alola muk etc. in OU, and Bisharp EMpoleon metagross and scizor in UU, Cresselia stands no chance. And Weather cuts it’s healing abilities. And lnock hurts.
Hawlucha- Hawlucha has always been very strong when it can start sweeping, and now that Bird Spam is gone, it can do some work. HOWEVER, OU has the 4 tapus which already counter Hawlucha (Bulu gets the Terrain defense boost). Pokemon that are faster than it give it Pre- Unburden give it trouble like Greninja. Skarmory and Zapdos is it’s Bird Riva. Good Priority can kill it (IE Ice Shard). And Rotom W. and in UU with pokemon like Primarina, Tentacruel, Togekissand Gengar it’s cant hit them all very hard.
Milotic- Milotic may have a very good ability to makes it even harder to kill with Status. Toxic still hurts it.. Burn not AS much, but it can still be very annoying for milotic. It can survive OU very well with Tapu Koko/Bulu in the way, and there are better Bulky water types. Like Pelliper can set up rain for you, but Milotic is just very basic. Bulky water types pretty much beat this thing back. Tentacruel just shows who’s the better one. And Tsareena (can we talk why this thing is UU? Is it that good?) blows Milotic back.
Entei- Rocks, Rocks, rocks. Pokemon weak to rocks have to work a little bit harder to be get to be OU. Entei pretty losses to ALL water types. Maybe Grassnium Z Solarbeam is the only helpful counter (with only 90SpA). Garchomp pretty much is the Wall it cant pass to be in OU. and the Plethora of Water types in UU it cant stay up.
Hope I helped 🙂
Here’s the thing though, Hawlucha can be absolutely stupid in some cases cause of the sheer power of its attacks
Like High Jump Kick , acrobatics is incredibly threatening in every case. If you get up a SD , it’s an instant win if the foe doesn’t have priority.
The real question is why Crawdaunt, easily one of the most toxic Pokémon in RU isn’t banned
And when I say this, I mean it
NOTHING CAN BULK THIS THING OUT BESIDES LIKE DRY SKIN MONS
Even though for some reason half these water walls dropped to RU
Fun fact, usage lists Cresslia and Hawlucha as possible NU mons
I dunno if Smogon’s been smoking some stuff, but that ain’t right putting them to NU.
Look at my name for proof of smogons bad decisions
Im sorry but Azumarill cant keep up.
4 tapus
Magearna
Metagross
FErrothorn
Clesteela
Kartana
TAngrowth
Venusaur
Zapdos
I’m not saying it’s really good…. I’m just saying do we REALLY need to deal with Azu in UU? Like is having a water fairy nuke (Not counting prim) needed? Keep in mind STARAPTOR got banned
With Tsareena Amoongus Bisharp Crobat Decidueye and Dhelmise Magneton. It wont be reking that much. It’s still pretty good though
Dhelmise is rarely used anyways… Plus, it probably gets killed easy
No but by smogon logic, it should be banned. Have you seen what they actually do ban? Some things have literally no rhyme or reason to why they get banned, just the fact that people dislike things. Hell, they’ve banned out of laziness. Despite the fact Flynium-Z was the problem, they banned four pokemon from UU literally just because of that item.
The point is, smogon is making some REALLY dumb choices this gen
That and by following certain suspect tests, it’s clear that good 90% of the bans have some forms of bias to them.
And best of all? People make that bullshit over centralization argument. Honestly they have zero right to argue that if they are perfectly fine keeping the actual over centralizers (Lele and Gross this gen) in OU and banning things like friggin Dugtrio
Thier worst they banned Digtrio (Regular) to Ubers because of Areana trap!
Actually it didn’t get banned, but very close to it
I hate OU so much
I think we can all agree smogon is stupid.
Araquanid works better in UU and OU than it does in RU…..
Poor araq.
It’s annoying! He’s a great counter to certain mons in UU and plays off Bulu impossibly well in OU
Just stick to online battling instead of smogon then! 😛
I would… but that allows certain things to prosper….
For anyone still not getting their Code for Mawilite and Beedrilite reward, log-in to the Global Link, then after that use this link https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/present/5263f699-dfcc-4ba9-a0a9-a0a4da05869b#btn
So I swapped out Nihiligo for Froslass and my Lusamine team is amazing in UU .o.
You mean inaccurate Lusamine team?
omg Seraph seriously
You know I’m basically gonna make this joke every time
not really a joke tho
Okay, this comment m8
I ain’t being serious
… the more i view em , the weirder certain ingame teams seem
#halasbewearhastwomoves
I know this is perhaps cliche within the pokemon world, but I really do live by Karen’s words when I’m online battling. Only using my favorites makes battling way more fun 🙂 (Not saying lusamine’s team isn’t full of your favs. Obvi it is if you just put Froslass on there)
Frosslass is more flavor cause it literally is the perfect fit for Lusa
That’s true, but I’m pretty sure Star still likes all of lusamines pokemon
How to know if this statement isn’t being followed in one step
1. The person is using ferrothorn
I actually do really like ferrothorn though xD I haven’t used one in competitive though. Maybe one day
…:it’s possible to like ferrothorn for non competitive reasons?
Haha I just like its design a lot and the typing is cool.
HES A ROBOT, HE CAN’T HAVE EMOTIONS OR OPINIONS. NO ONE TRULY LOVES FERROTHORN. IT IS SATAN
No, Celesteela and all the other UB’s are cancer :3
So is
-Ferrothorn
-Tapu Lele
But mainly flying bamboo broomstick
/clarinet
Mainly Lele… why is that thing not banned yet?
What’s so scary about lele
Psychic Terrain… that’s literally the reason why everyone hates this damn thing
Just carry mimikyu w/ shadow sneak and you’re golden
Psychic Terrain stops priority
Ohhh never noticed that…Hm, carry alolan raichu or magnezone w/ electric terrain?
Hidden powers
Pfff that aint nothing
From Lele, it will instantly kill whatever resists it… literally like three mons in the tier can actually counter Lele
And almost none of them can actually switch in on it… it kills everything in 1-2 hits… basically it rips entire teams apart
I felt smart when I used Araquanid… than Psyshock happened
Everybody despises and hates Lele… it’s easily the most bullshit mon in OU ATM
I still feel like swords dance boosted mimikyu could outspeed lele and OHKO it.
It can’t… because 90% of the time it runs psyshock
And Mimikyu actually is much worse than people think… it’s actually very easy to counter
Mine does pretty well. Just get one with a Jolly nature, max its speed EV’s and carry shadow claw. Save it as a late game sweeper if you’re worried about lele. The only problem I’ve ever had with it is from taunt
Jolly is much worse than adamant, unless it’s for certain Pokémon…
I just don’t use it because it’s literally the most predictable mon ever made. Also, I want it to drop to UU … it would do better
Meh, Jolly is really only worse if the only ghost move you’re carrying is shadow sneak. Boosted attack by SD is gonna OHKO most things or come pretty close
You honestly need all the Attack power you can get though… why would you want jolly?
Cause it sits at that crux of 95! Mines worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like it’s name cause I think of a Ferret with horns
The typing is great, I’ll give you that
I like Ferrothorn.
…
blocked
No not blocked, Ferrothorn.
no blocked. Ferrothorn is actual evil
I’ve never had trouble with it.
Me too, Ferothorn is awesome
I do love Froslass but it just fits her too well
https://i.redditmedia.com/RvtEmNyKg4sxTLKz-0clCxLqrfEXYF12g64lVdHLUuI.png?w=454&s=9f1c576111ed7955e58ef29ab86fb428
Yes! Lol
this was a fun battle
oops
forgot to post the link and now I dont have it lol
uhggggg I hate Volcanion so much
At least it isn’t Tapu Lele
good point. I can’t believe it swept my team with fucking psyshock. no boosts, no super effectives, no crits just plain psyshocks
Honestly, if it was psychic I’d be okay
But psyshock is bullshit… literally everything that would have countered it gets fucked over by psyshock hitting for physical defense
Its design is just horrid. Mega Diancie is the only good one out of that bunch
Easily the worst designed pokemon. It looks like a pokemon I would design when I was 8
At least it has a cool typing
a wasted typing
Add that to the list with stunfisk
shut the fuck up you shitlord, stunfisk is the best god damn pokemon ever created
It’s trash
Yeah I know. 😛
That’s why I say it’s a wasted typing. It could be great
Tbh it’s a pretty mediocre typing. A fast pokemon could make a decent typing out of it, but it’s not that great
That’s what I’m saying, glass cannon potential
Stunfisk if you look at its original background makes sense though
No but it’s a great combo on a shitmon
It was originally an Anglerfish
That would be cool
Ummm, Hoopa
oh yeah I love Hoopa
Hoopa looks like it would make a somewhat good plushy
Is horribly designed and was the most annoying bitch in any pokemon movie
At least he let Kyurem be cool for a few seconds
I honestly liked none of them
Diancie’s movie Sucked worse than anything in Pokémon
Hoopa is meh at best
Volcanion has a sad design choice (except the steam part)
Fuck diancies move after that buff
If you took hoopa out of hoopas movie, you’d have a pretty good pokemon movie
Basically
My clefable died to a double flinch wow
That’s nothing
Try getting flinched, and crit three times in a row
Frozen, not flinched
Real gods don’t die to a double flinch.
You are mistaken. That’s the only thing that can kill a god
I have worse luck every battle
So how the hell did Kyurem get two games with two forms and still manage to be less relevant than pre perfect Zygarde?
Because people Hate Kyurem except me I like Kyurem its a good mon and is in one of the best Pokémon movies
Did Kyurem forms even appear in the anime?
Nope just got a movie
Which one?
It was in the Keldeo one
Keldeo and the Swords of Justice
The forms too?
Yep
Any good nicknames for Beware?
Bearenstein
Flammable
Unbearable
Hug me
Hugsy
Lotso
Fuzzle
Pooh
Beanie
Steiff
Teddy
Ted
Bonecrusher
Spinesnapper
Soulextracter
Geoff
Lotso YESSSS
Cuddles is what I named mine but
Snuggles
Pinky
Slow Bear
Pink Ursaring
Could work too
Pink Bear too
Trash
Part of Samurotts Pokedex Entry~
“A simple glare from one of them quiets everybody.”
Doesn’t get glare
The snake argument can’t be made cause Drudiggon and Helioptile get it
Well Basalisks in mythology petrified its victims with their gaze, and Gargoyles themselves are frozen in place by the sun (or is it the other way around but Druddigon for a fact freeze when their body temperature drops)
But what about Helioptile?
They’re reptiles. Samurott isn’t. That’s enough for me.
Than perhaps Mean look
The best team I’ve ever used isn’t even mine. .-.
Oh right reasons to hate Diancies movie IMO
-They lied about M-Absol and M-Scisor getting big roles (even the trailer showed it!) Then got about 5 seconds each of screentime
-Entire background changed from Canyon to Big F*ckin’ hole in a dead forest (from trailer to movie)
-The whole story sucked ass with Diancie leaving, and somehow reawakening Yveltal in the process
-Why did they put Greninja and Delphox trainers in (They had literally 0% relevance as a whole) and I hate that
-Only good F*cking good characters were the Elder Carbink and Guards
-Why did they turn it to Bullsh*t with Diacie’s first made Diamond being a Mega Stone
So yeah big hate on it worst Pokémon movie IMO in all history!
Sorry but go watch any of the BW movies
I admit
Victini’s was Bad
Keldeo’s was terrific to me
Gensect is a close second worst
Well i mean the standards for the pokemon movies are so low. To me the only good ones are the first three, Lucario, and Darkrai
To me
Mewtwo strikes back, 3 The movie, Heros, Destiny Deyoxs, Lucario, Arceus and the jewel of life, and Swords of Justice are the best
The jirachi one tho
Oh and Jirachi
Mostly cause I love Breloom, Absol, Tropius and Flygon
It’s ok. I LOVE THIS SONG THO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btvEDtmT33A
oh why does this version have Link in it what the heck
I was OBSESSED with Flygon for the longest time because of the Jirachi movie. But this song is incredible and soul-stirring:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWa3RgEOjOg&list=LLQcodgszEm_MciHp589ihzw&index=2
OK BUT DARKRAI’S THEME IS SO CRAZY AMAZING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu4zdIVB67k
It’s just a great movie. I love it so much. Plus honchkrow gets that 2 second moment of fame where it uses defog
(the worst hm in the game lol)
plus it had some great supporting characters and was really kinda spooky when the legends started wrecking shit
Nah, that’d be whirlpool. I wish I owned the lucario movie. I need to go buy it
My favorites are movies 2, 3, the DP trilogy, and the recent Volcanion movie. The Keldeo one was also decent but I like it mostly because of Kyurem. Honestly, I think the first move is kinda overrated.
Keldeo’s was a beautiful meme
I don’t think it is a good movie but not because of those reasons.
1 & 2 – they usually change a lot of the content between the trailers and the movie. That should be expected.
3 – The story was actually Diancie searching for Xerneas to giver her power to recover her reign. I admit the way they put Yveltal in the middle might not be the best but there movies with worse stories.
4 – Ever since Gen 4, they put the final evos of the starters of that generation in the first movie of that series.
5 – Nothing to comment on that.
6 – The movie was promoting Mega evolution, and I actually find the way they introduced her mega stone rather creative since it ties with the story.
So, all that and you forgot the actual reason why the movie sucked: The most anti-climatic “battle” ever between Xerneas and Yveltal. That was pretty much a stare and Yveltal was like “Oh, screw you guys, I’m going home”.
confirmed that Flinches are the only thing that can kill god I mean Clefable
Iron Head?
Yep
Clefable wouldn’t flinch if it was faster
???
Real gods should be quick enough not to flinch. Can’t flinch if you move first ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t need to move quick when you can’t be stalled
Is it bad that I want mega clefable
no we all want it
Gen. 8 announcement
Clefable learns Extreme Speed now…
Oh F*ck!
xD
New Special Attack and Fairy type version of Extremespeed.
just ban all fairy types at that point
I’m sorry what?! Earthen must have hypnotized you for saying that!
They are too amazing for OU trash
-looks left and right-
-whispers-
I want water/fairy mega milotic o-o
It actually fits because oarfish are rare and mythological and shit
WE ALL DO
When people thought new megas for ORAS, they thought… Flygon… then they thought of Milotic! Like it was so obvious.
GF let us down hard core. I wanted a mega kecleon too
I still have my M-Kecleon idea shuffling around my brain (its one of a few that need one)
It’s already the new OP, might as well.
And Araquanid, I usually see Clef as a free kill for it
My favourite is a beautiful Heavy Slam from Aggron.
AWWWWW

Well goodnight everyone see ya tomorrow…
And as final note do y’all think Xatu is a competitively good mon?
No idea, but you can make it work
Ehh…its speed is decent. But like…its special is also equally decent so you’re gonna have to sacrifice one or the other when choosing nature.
In lower tiers I hear it is really good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCJgXYVHQuU
this is gooooood
Seriously though, if there is one cross over that the anime and games need to do, it’s with the music. Mewtwo’s leitmotif in the movie is the best
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WZsZReahfg
Anime Mewtwo is the best too. I just pretend that the anime backstory for Mewtwo is the same in the games. Like with Giovanni and all that except Fuji lives
Have you seen young Mewtwo and that whole part of the story?
Yep, I love it
This leitmotif is also cool
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ykI3xt3Me44
I recommend you to watch the whole video just to appreciate this song and Lugia better 🙂
I’d say I’ve made some pretty decent progress in BotW over the past few days. I’d maybe put myself at a generous 45%. This is absolutely amazing to say, since I got 100% in Nintendo’s last new Zelda game (Link Between Worlds) in two days with extensive breaks in between. This is truly a MASSIVE game.
