Pikachu Batteries Recalled for Unintended Sparks

by

Turns out batteries are best left to bunnies, not mice (Energizer joke). Two varieties of mobile smartphone back-up batteries are being recalled in Japan, one featuring Pikachu and the other a generic Pokéball image. Buyers reported that the units became uncomfortably hot and some even saw smoke.

If you came into possession of one of these, please see the page linked above for refund instructions or contact the seller! For the rest of us, let this be a lesson that Pikachu’s power cannot be harnessed so easily by human technology!

  8. I successfully made Decidueye a sweeper 😀

    Decidueye @ Salac Berry
    Overgrow
    Jolly Nature
    252 ATK, 4 DEF, 252 SPD
    – Swords Dance
    – Leaf Blade
    – Spirit Shackle
    – Acrobatics

    I’m well aware with the fact that its a very risky set, but it’s been working a lot of times thanks to Decidueye’s average Def bulk and very good SP Def bulk. Basically, I set up Swords Dance before the foe manages to wittle Decidueye’s HP down to 1/4, which is when the Salac Berry kicks in. Once it does, it essentially releases all hell, and, thanks to Overgrow kicking in, Leaf Blade will deal insane damage (along with that it has increased chances of critical hits). Spirit Shackle is there for a strong physical Ghost move, while Acrobatics helps with damage for other types.

    • Okay lemme critique this a little
      SWORDS DANCE
      Leaf blade
      SS are his best sweeper moves, along with jolly, so good on you for that

      However, his last move should not be acro, it’s a little too situational

      Deci-Z, or removing SD for a choice item are the best options

  16. Ok….Samurai Jack season 5 was absolutely amazing
    Even with 13 years off the air this truly felt like it never left us. everything is beautifully designed and the world feels alive and dynamic, (trying not to get all spoilerly) but this Samurai Jack as a character is different. He is tormented and guilt ridden due to his journey still going painfully prolonged, he finds himself in doubt of his goals and feels like he has let everyone down. Meanwhile for the first time in the show we have a reoccurring force in pursuit of stopping jack outside common bounty hunters and monsters of the week. A cult dedicated to killing the samurai, brutally training assassins to kill Jack from the moment they were born….”The Daughters of Aku”
    And finally the show may have a darker seriously air to it but that still has not alienated the use of comedy in the form of a flamboyant assassin who constantly toys and flirts with Jack, pointing out his numerous changes and tells what the audience is actually thinking, all this while still giving a dynamo fight that has the truest elements of any Samurai Jack fight, stylish, perfectly choreographed and tense.

    I can easily say that this season will be without a fleeting doubt will be nothing less than perfect,
