Ready for a new challenge to take on in Pokémon Sun & Moon? The Weakness Cup has been announced and requires players to create a team of Pokémon that have 5 or more weaknesses! Some of those Pokémon considered too frail for normal usage may just get their time to shine. That’s not all though–players will also earn Ampharosite, Altarianite, Latiosite, and Latiasite Mega Stones if they participate in 3 or more battles! That means Mega Ampharos, Mega Altaria, Mega Latios and Mega Latias can be yours to use in Sun & Moon! The official site shares more details about the competition:
Registration for the Weakness Cup begins Thursday, July 20, 2017, at 00:00 UTC. The competition goes from Friday, July 28, at 00:00 UTC, until Sunday, July 30, at 23:59 UTC. Trainers will be limited to 15 battles per day.
It is also worth noting that according to Serebii.Net the battles will actually be double battles, not single battles.
Be sure to hit up the link for all the rules! May the WEAKEST Pokémon… WIN!

@irvinap:disqus Did he take his name from this guy, or was it just random?
He got it from the scrapped water starter from GS iirc

Yep that’s correct
My question was supposed to be sort of a joke.
Nah I took it from the scrapped Water starter of GSC
Weakness cup right after the Tiny Tourney…such whack competitor things.
Can somebody explain to me how Hard mode in BoTW works? Do i have to begin a new save file?
You create the hard mode file as a seperate copy of your current save file and the two coexist but are split off from that moment.
Why did GameFreak scrap these!?!? If you changed the first stage to be. A little less Weedle clone it could’ve been a rad Bug/Fighting :0
Also its weird that GameFreak associates roaches with the fighting type if this was intended to be one :0

Maybe they decided to not include it because they already had Heracross? And I guess they made Pheromosa that typing because they remembered it :0? But I really wanted to see this happen:

Idk tho because they had a lot of Bug/Poisons, Grass/Poisons and Rock/Grounds so I don’t see why they couldn’t have made this one too :0
Flower rabbit could’ve been great omg :000
Normal/Grass with effect spore
Nah Effect Spore is mandatory for all Fungus Pokemon, maybe Natural Cure or Chlorophyll
Vileplume has Effect Spore as an ability, and just because the Shrooms get it doesn’t mean other Pokémon can’t (that’s not what mandatory means, mandatory means it needs something but others can still have that thing)
That may be so, but as of right now all mushrooms carry it, and Vileplume specifically states its pollen causes a ton of allergic reactions so that may be what it’s referencing
Just use hay-fever as a reason for Effect Spore, rabbits eat hay so it’d be ironic
Boom
Do they though?
Yes, rabbits eat hay. Me and my friend literally had a conversation about this for like an hour whilst watching her rabbit eat hay
Fair enough
I have zero idea why but this comment was perfect
I can’t get behind how a living being can eat something like hay .-.
Have you ever seen a horse?
Yes, but not one eating it, and I’d still be confused if I saw a horse eating hay 😛
Oh XD
https://youtu.be/fe4fyhzS3UM
That four armed one reminds me of a scraped Fakemon that never got off the ground
I wanted a Dung Beetle that was mixed with Atlas
Just a gigantic muscular dung beetle carrying a enormous spherical clump of dirt and stone on its back, it would search for bigger heavier objects to test its strength, some even reported to lifting and carrying cars and dumpsters
Olympeetle, but I think I had too many Fighting types and it just felt too much like Heracross mixed with Crustle
ItS lIkE oNe Of My FaKeMoN
It’s cool tho
Don’t be a buttwad I’m not feeling good…
Ok
Dentist pain and my mood dropped south all of a sudden
Another da being trapped in this dungeon with my siblings laaaaame (ha I sound like Earthen)
Who wants to have a battle Royale? Or Play me in smash? Or Splatoon? Im promise Im bad it will be even or you will win
Sure I’ll royale with you now we just need two more
Wait I am going to the movie’s after picking up my brother at 2, but after we can battle
That’s a hustle
So GameFreak broke the trend that all Gens have Gyms but kept the trend of adding a mushroom Pokémon every Gen
Like okay
*every odd Gen
It’s because mushrooms are odd
….tbh I’m still waiting for a mushroom I like…
I mean I like Berlin but I’m not sure wtf it is
Breloom*
Oh why you corrected it, I was about to say it’s a city 😛
But c’mon. Breloom is adorable :3
I LOVE IT, I even used it in my run of AS
But seriously wtf is it
It’s a kangaroo with a mushroom head and a dinosaur tail
…..I… can’t process it
I want an electric mushroom in gen 9. Will literally love it
Nah fam Grass/Dark or Grass/Ghost based on a Red Cap and a red capped mushroom
Or my Space Mushrooms Percelium
PLUGGING
Saprosmic looks like a shriveled up grey alien with a ufo for a cap
Usually if she says your mushroom is shrivelled it’s not a good thing
After Saprosmic’s mutant brain manipulates her thoughts via spores she’ll think your hyuge
…that’s not half bad
I have a pic somewhere
Only its prevo Percelium
Basically think of a very slim mushroom with bulging green eyes, two slender arms, no legs like a ghostly tail and a wide grey pink flat mushroom cap with glowing green lumps
Does the cap glow…?
Duh it has glowy glowy brain energy
It was born from strange irradiated dusk fell from the sky and eventually grew into this Pokemon
…I normally feel meh about your fanmons but I actually adore this one…
You just gotta get to know them
No I mean this one is a legitimately awesome idea
Anyway it is a Grass/Psychic type
Very stupidly high SpAtk and SpDef like 135 SpAtk and 130 Spdef, since this thing barely weighs anything defense is low, it’s speed is……below average and like a 88 HP
…:I want it
I’ll draw it later for you, Percelium and Saprosmic
I have a great idea for a shiny palette
Hold that brain function, let me go get my pen and paper
Ok
Do you adore any of mine tho ?
I’ll answer that after you tell me how you feel about mine ;3
I’ll need to look at them again ?
….but ya never comment on mine anymore
I’ve been busy, I’m usually doing something else whilst I’m replying and stuff
Ah
As much as I love Grass/Ghost we’ve gotten four in the last two gens…. it’s time to stop
Never ?
Can’t we actually do the ghost combos that need more love?
Ghost/water
Ghost/Ice
Ghost/electric
Ghost/Dragon
No
GameFreak will milk the type combo and then ditch it ?
I call it the Grass/Poison curse
Shouldn’t it be called the flying/normal curse?
We still get Normal/Flyings every Gen tho
;3
Oh speaking of Ghost Water, this was kinda creepy,
So I was playing my Randomized Emerald and I was Surfing and I found a Duskull out there,
I personally find it bizzare and kinda weird that Duskull was just wandering around the open sea just skimming the surface
Yeah it was random but the idea really stuck with me
…..that can be a regional form…
A pirate ghost
YAAAASSSSSS
Omg thank you for the idea Earthen >w<
Or orrrr…..just a real Pirate Jolly Roger Pokemon
A salty wisp that has bladed arms and stuff, searching the waters for lost souls
I mean it works on duskull
I mean you’re not wrong, I’m just trying to think if it could happen,
Something involving shipwreck
What about 2nd 4th and 6th gen? Do they have mushrooms
I corrected it down below, I said Odd Gens
I want a legit shrimp pokemon
Clauncher
^^^^
…besides that
Disregarding that
Why would you disregard Clawitzer he’s awesome
Dont enter weakness cup! its just a bunch of rock types. Boooooo. anda lot of pokemon in weakness cup are weak to rock types. Pretty lame
Tapu Bulu :3
That rocks
Why the fuck do 90% of flying dual types get air cutter or fly as their literal only flying move….
I want a ball lighting Ghost/electric type Pokémon so bad
I’m still deciding whether my swordfish pseudo will be a literal swordfish or a fish wielding a sword
or a fish welding a swordfish 😉
Or a sword wielding a fish that is also a swordfish
That’s gr8 tbh
make it a knight too while ur at it or a samurai
But I already got a knight
make it a samurai then.
I may… but it may end up being Chinese inspired
It’s called “Marlong”
Can someone do me a favour? Like even if one person does it, it’d be great
Basically, can you skim through this and pick out concepts that you ‘love’ or ‘hate’? Even if it’s just a single Pokémon or a single evo line, it’d be great!
Fakemon Concepts: http://pasted.co/a6a026d3
Hate em all, good night folks!
>:/
Can you at least skim through the ground types and see if you like any? Thought you would’ve liked Hematitan tbh ‘3’
I’m kidding, granted names and type combos don’t merit likes, details friendo details
Love :
Passerene
Fire and Grass starters
Kapimari
Spoopy bats
Pathawgen
Not doin legends
:3
Thought you would’ve loved the water starter :0
Honestly, I love the type and design inspiration but I’m not a fan of those two put together…. sorry about that
You got a lot of great mons tho
It’s kinda based on how common lions are as fountains as well as statues
I see… it’s definetly a cool concept though, just not my cup of tea
Love fire snek tho
I like:
Ragaroot
Arakid
Fauxpaw
Spoobat
Apawlo (perf name)
Orcaleave
Draydgwin
The name Orcaleave tho…
Yeah it’s an old one, I need to change it
Now I’m curious, why it has “leave” on the name? I just picked it because it’s an Orca and Orcas are rad :L
No clue tbh, it’s that old and that bad XD
More than a name change it needs a remake it seems xD
Jesus hell I have the perfect idea for regional Lurantis but I dunno what to type if as….
Alright Seraph I got my pen and paper give me a second
The design is very simple but enjoyable
I’m a little over 100 fanmons done rn with around six megas and about three or four regional forms
I totally botched Saprosmic’s head my pen must’ve gotten wet and didn’t feel as precise https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3c53060ad0ecfaa4209fb5175afa5aaa6eb7a00736fe29ba187ff7d4f1c6c904.jpg
Yoooooo I love it
Kinda wish the second form kept the one leg tho
Glad you like it, maybe I’ll try again later
:3
I like it but I feel like the second stage is too similar to the first
Well it’s still trying to be a simple theme of grey aliens and flying saucers with a mushroom body
Why is it that the only other rabbit Pokémon this isn’t Lopunny is a disgusting freak of nature?
I wish I could think a type for my Regional Lurantis…
Bug
But it’s not really a bug tho
yes it is
But it’s meant to mimic one
Its a bug that looks like a plant but its a bug
Just think of the kind of environment Lurantis is being deported to and how could it adapt to survive that new environment
I wanna say fire but the actual basis of its design has nothing to do with fire besides appearance
Change the basis or the design if that helps
its based off a mantis right?
Just throwing it out there as a saving throw to see if my drawing skills are fading because I feel that they are and that hurts me
My Sunshine and Rain weather duo
Solasma and Drittzle
Be as harsh as you can (they feel like common monsters not capturing the Pokemon aura) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/993c08d143673c728af3dba6f0a089b0eff8c72c52c5809231ac891d1f7f9cf2.jpg
Thats ridiculous, your art skills aren’t fading. Improving at drawing isn’t a straight line. Its more like this https://activerain-store.s3.amazonaws.com/image_store/uploads/3/0/3/6/4/ar121826784646303.png
As you improve at one thing you have another thing you gotta improve.
I see, my form is all out there, I need to stop trying to do things in their complete form, not just do it and hope it works
I think you need to do multiple sketches before deciding on one you like. Then you improve the aspects you like and change the parts you dont before arriving on a final design
Better than my attempts lol
You need more detail, particularly with the bigger fakemon, i would also add color and digitally enhance them if you can, If you plan to go traditional, just color and shade. The overall work put into them could be better, but they do offer some originality in the concept.
My rating: 7/10
My biggest flaws is drawing whatever in little space, I dunno maybe I need to draw something other than Fakemons
Relax big guy, i got a surprise in the making~
is it gonna be a BIG surprise? ok ill go
I think I’m gonna draw what my heart tells me
AND ITS TELLING ME TO DRAW MY GORON HERO FORM
you are much boulder then you think
Well manic depression will do that
Anyway my Goron hero form is when I did a conglomeration of y favorite Zelda items and equipment
The Megaton Hammer
Golden Gauntlets
Iron Boots
Ball and Chain
And I put on the Goron Mask to form a powerful being with those weapons and equipment
well i would say Goron instead of go on. but I did enough puns already
I will punch you one day
Then that will be the punch line
Mastering the fundamentals of art will help you no matter what you’re drawing. I’m still learning too fam
https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtFundamentals/comments/56hyn5/rartfundamentals_and_drawaboxcom_a_new_beginning/
But fundamentals ain’t Earthen’s style, I think my biggest problem is my lack of a drive
I used to draw thousands of monsters every day in school because learning sucked ass, all I wanted to do was draw and that’s what I did, I’ve been drawing less and less ever since I graduated and just never feel the burning passion I felt
Nah fam. Drawing a lot is important but knowing this stuff will help you immensely. Trust me, if you start learning this stuff, you will improve so much faster. This specter knight drawing I’m doing is me learning perspective.
Someone can be as motivated as possible but if they dont learn this stuff, they’re art will show it. You’re already great so you should really go the extra step!
it doesn’t click with me sorry
Your drawings are still pretty good to me.
And Drittale is adorable :0
Do any of you ever make anything and think a member here would like it? I don’t even just mean Fakemons, like anything
So the next four anime episodes are:
-Wishiwashi based
-At Wela Volcano Park
-Lurantis based
-Olivia’s Grand Trial
Wtf? Is Ash gonna beat three totems and a grand trial in a row!?
Good. The anime had a very slow pacing before
There’s speeding up and then there’s rushing it, literally four big events in a row is a bit rushed especially since they’re each regular length episodes and Lana still needs her Z-Ring developed and stuff, Ash still has a team of first evos when he’s nearly a third through the game’s plot, and the characters need development and catches
Maybe they’ll have all those developing stuff and the trials at the same time, you can do quite a lot in 20 minutes
It’s Pokémon tho, and the Wishiwashi episode has build up with Ash and Lana fishing and rocket scenes whereas the Wela Volcano Park episode has a ceremony to deal with before the Totem shows up (if it does)
Eh, them it seems that they want to finish the show asap ?
Generation 8 approaches…
Ultra Sun and Moon plot where Ash has to repeat a year at Pokémon School and has his trials invalidated ?
Alternatively: Ash goes to Sinnoh to challenge the battle frontier and catch Sinnoh Forms of Alola Pokémon ?
ok this is just a quick thumbnail sketch but I think I want to make it into a full piece. Thoughts?

Is it cybernetic or medieval
Its Specter Knight .-.
ok here are two of them. whhich one looks better? the top or the bottom one?

So I Looked at Earthen’s post earlier and wanted to show him my version of a concept for the first stage of his nimbian fakemon as a rough idea.
I worked hard to make a good example, I hope you like it big guy~
I like it but it was just supposed to be a limbless cloud with goggles…..but this is good too
And you’re damn lucky I like being called Big Guy…..
New meme question thingy:
Using only Pokémon based on animals in your country (for smaller countries) or state/prefecture/etc for bigger countries (like ‘murica). You can only use ‘pet’ as justification if it’s a common pet in your area, and/or if you actually have an animal that Pokémon can represent
uh… what

Cloyster
Clawitzer
Kingler
Wingull
Pidove

Because this one sucks I made another one that represents another area where I lived that had a better wildlife ¯_(ツ)_/¯
