Dang I really wanna use Whimmsicott but I’m hard time justifying it. It doesn’t get cotton guard until 37.
Are you replaying gen 5?
yep. black version
You can do without Cotton Guard. Even without the Fairy Typing it still has Prankster. What Dark type will you use? I found Scrafty really good but depends if you want another Fighting type over it.
I actually am using Scrafty! :0
What set do you recommend?
Well I bred mine to use Dragon Dance and Ice Punch. Drain Punch is a TM so that’s good, or High Jump Kick. Make sure to get one with Shed Skin. Oh and Crunch for Dark STAB.
Wouldn’t Moxie be better?
Oh yeah I’m thinking current set. Yeah Moxie is better for in-game since you can use items.
So, have we established a general consensus in the community that Pokemon 0 and 1 trademarks on 4chan were faked?
obviously
Been proven fake actually I think
Before Kommo-O. I didn’t even try to overlevel, Oricorio decided to just become overpowered for like no reason
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/41ab53b38c247c62830e418ca4c20ebf1341b94df919079fef0cf5c06570379c.jpg
Surprised you aren’t using the Ghost form tbh.
I’m faaaaar too lazy to transfer the petal over
Oricorio fucked the totem. Now I’m gonna get fucked my necrozma
Use Protection.
Whoah
https://i.imgur.com/ZyDwLjH.png?1
I need a last member. Thinking Cincinno but not sure
I might also swap Swoobat for Archen
Maybe Galvantula?
A Water Type? Maybe?
Seismitoad?
I’d suggest Cryogonal the god
ew no
I’m doing it
smh
Jesus Christ the fusing cutscene for Necrozma… I love it man
b2w2 made all these high level evolving pokemon usable early like Volcarona and Mandibuzz but guess what they did not make available?
FREAKING HYDREIGON… THE COOLEST DAMN DRAGON IN THE REGION
How about Mienshao
I got a Mienfoo as my first trade on the GTS and bred it early in White. It’s not until Route 14 right?
Yep, level 50 to evolve
Yup, that and the fact it is just such a high level to reach Hydreigon put me off using it in a playthrough. Of course I have since bred my Shiny one so I’ve still gotten to use it.
That’s the one thing I hate about gen 5 pokemon. So many of hen evolve so freaking late. I remember having to train a ruflet to level 54 lol hydrophone should have evolved at 54 instead of 64 while deino evolved into zwellious at like 40
That would make them at least more in line with the other pseudos.
Pretty much and another opinion I think that there should had been a middle evolution in between larvesta and volcarano with larvesta rocking at 30 to the middle stage and into volcanrona at 50. Basically volcarona should have been a second pseudo legend similar to what happened in gen 3 with metagross and salamence
Could work so long as it sticks to its’ concept.
Not sure what the middle stage could be besides a cacoon. I just want them to give us two pseudos in a gen again so we can get something besides a dragon. Wish they had made it a pattern after gen 3.gen 4 could have been heatran maybe gen 5 volcarona Gen 6 Auegslash and gen 7 I am not sure who could have fit but yeah
Pseudo’s are Pseudo’s that always come late game
Yeah Axew isn’t the Pseudo Legendary of this game sadly its Deino
bitch,
level 64..
thats AFTER the post game
Oh I thought you meant just catching it in general
I remember how hard I worked for one in Gen.6 and how I still use it to fill up team slots
here’s my Black team! https://i.imgur.com/15Q2v6b.png?1
Plus points for having Whimsicott 😮
And Galvy :0
And Chandy :O
I’m leaving out some faves but I wanna try some new ones
Well I mean… it isn’t right plying gen 5 without Chandelure obviously :3
It’s the only one I’ve used before
I usually use Chandy but I’ve used it like three or four times
I’ve played through without it though…
Actually I’ve played around very little of Gen.5, I think I want to do this too, to get back into Gen.5
Scrafty and Galvantula will see you right. I used both in White 2. Also you’ve got good coverage in the others even without Whimsicotts’ Fairy Type.
i need nicknamess
-Gangstar the Scrafty
-Plufffluff the Whimsicott
-Executioner the Haxorus
-Wispy the Chandelure
-Chicken Wingz the Archeops
-Arachnus the Galvatula for Male or Arachnia the Galvantula for Female
Names I’ve picked so far:
Scrafty – Slim Shady
Chandlure – Wicked
Threads or Webster for Galvantula.
Slim Shady – Scrafty
Interwebs – Galvantula
Egoraptor – Archeops
Whitney – Whimsicott
Tickles – Haxorus
Wicked – Chandelure
I fcking hate Whimsicott
even with Bug Buzz breaking subs Leech Seed Protect heals it

This guy took me 2773 SR to find
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/977d7d6d1f29a6250e536a587bbc75f4150fd0d24a985c91e98aed3a22a1428a.jpg
While this one took 1186 SR to encounter, it took one dive ball and one great ball to capture
Aaaay
Nice, congratulations on getting them 🙂
Thanks, maybe for my next shiny hunt I’ll aim for some UBs or other SOS chaining
Congrats man
I had two options as my grandmother took me out to buy me a birthday present
Get Crystal version (Already have Silver)
Get Z-power ring with addition of Icium, Fairium and Flynium Z pack…
I chose wisely https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/31bf5dab92eba4af809f9193d14f941e07d10c99044db8c708003674b3305ef3.jpg
Nice, hope you thanked her.
I did, she told me I have another 30 bucks I can spend too (No clue what to Get honestly)
Can you save it?
I can get cash, but I think I might use it towards Kirby Battle Royale
As long as you really want it, no sense wasting the money if you don’t.
People still watch Verlisify in big 2018 could never be me. Finished poketuber
Who?
Just people on twitter, i wasnt targeting anyone on here dw 🙂
I mean who is the poketuber.
You dont know Verlisify? Omg i’m jealous of you.
Eh lets just say that he’s very much hated by a big portion in the Pokemon community. I can give you tons of reasons as to why, but i’m not in the mood of writing an essay xD
I’ve heard of it, I was mostly joking, suggesting they have already faded into further irrelevance and obscurity.
Don’t even bring him up
I still havent got a DM from you guys on my Twitter. Just so you know… idk if its the wrong twitte
The article said within 48 hours and it’s only been a day :p
Funny thought…
What if that old man and the machop in Vermillion end up building a Battle Frontier
Or maybe it’s a house and the two of them are lovers teehee………sorry idk why I said that…….I’ll show myself out……..
Well considering he’s sitting there not doing sh*t and making the machops do everything I don’t think that’s the case
Well you know how some relationships are…..XP

All by themselves…
Lol then I would say full speed ahead to Kanto
Probably already been shared today, but bite me i havent been very active yet https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d325a098ca666c65cb73f5bb4a501a6dda7806d933090a4d3f9e5826be00ce04.jpg
Congrats, you won an award!

Are you sure it wasn’t Lunala Land?
https://i.imgur.com/CqQuLd2.jpg
this game dude…
Might have to cop it at the end of this month along with Xenoverse 2
It’s getting dangerously close to BotW for game of the year for me tbh
We need more pretty and artsy games like these in our lives
We really do.
Lol https://twitter.com/PokemonLegality/status/947761798006083585
well i’m pissed, restaunt screwed up my damn order
Well how’s this for a team to play Black with?… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/925b97f57aa5bff684b65a6dd97ceeedc044590dda4c5b8cbe45c3a382b07363.png
Never used any of these in a playthrough… None of them
Not bad. With the exception of Carracosta I like them all. Only ever used Serperior I haven’t used the rest, but I’d like to
I would love to use Zebstrika instead of Tynamo, but I temporarily used one in White
And Cryogonal is going to kill me with a 1% chance in Twist Mountain this time of year. (Seraph when I die I’m going to haunt your already ghost form because of this…)
I’ll get mine first
I know… I honestly have used way less Pokémon from BW
Basically the ones I’ve used are
Samurott, Stoutland, Reuniclus, Throh, technically Sawsbuck and Zebstrika and Beartic (Not in BW though)
Eelectross is apparently OP in BW. With it’s decent moveset and ability it’s pretty powerful lol I really like Cryogonals design. I’m sure once you find it it’ll be worth the wait
Cryogonal; it cries because it seeks companionship, but never finds it
You lack a Dark type which seems like a missed opportunity. You lack a Fighting type, unless you want to rely on Focus Blast on Eelektross or Hammer Arm/whatever on Golurk. You’ll likely give Eelektross Flamethrower.
I just realized I have actually never used Scraggy or Sandile
Who do I cut and which do I add?
Personally I’d cut Swoobat and add Scraggy.
Yes! Honestly wouldn’t have looked forward to High friendship with one (something puts me off about Swoobat)
It’s probably an OK ‘mon, though I never used it. Scrafty is great. If you can manage to breed Dragon Dance and Ice punch on it even better but you can get by without. You could also breed Zen Headbutt onto it from a lv 23 Munna. I’d suggest Drain Punch and Crunch with the Moxie ability.
This is probzbly a better idea than my suggestion how that I think about it. Swoobat is an okay Pokémon but sadly not too good.
I would cut golurk for sandile personally but that’s because I really love sandile. That said I have used all these Pokémon with the exception of cyrogonal.
I also like Sandile. Honestly it’s really easy to do a Mono Dark Team in Gen 5, well in Black at least
Scrafty
Krookodile
Bisharp
Hydreigon
Mandibuzz
Zoroark/Liepard
I remember using it in my first run in white version! Every time a new gen comes out there is always at least one Pokémon revealed pre release that I have to use in my team! Gen 5 was sandile, gen 6 pancham and gen 7 Rockruff! That said I plan to stay away from sites like this when the gen 8 starters are revealed! Want to try and remain spoiler free!
Well GL avoiding spoilers. I had a spoiler for the latest Star Wars blurted out to me by a woman on TV in a completely unrelated programme recently.
Thanks I will need it 😂 thankfully Facebook is getting some kind of mute button so I plan to mute all Pokémon related posts on there until the games come out 🤣 YouTube is probably going to be my downfall though. That said I did manage to remain spoiler free with botw so who knows
I’m probably going to leave and just stay on one thing, the official site so I can know a few tid bits about it
I want to try to avoid everything. Just see the starters and cover legends than go from there. I want the feeling of gen 4 again! Complete blindness and not know what to expect! I remember running into Shinx and catching it because I loved how it looked! I remember fighting Cynthia and her almost sweeping me with garchomp because I had know idea what it’s type was lol took 4 Pokémon to take it down and torterra finally got it. The final battle ended up being my staraptor vs her roserade. Poor roserade got brave bird to the face lol
I sorta want to do that and I had that since I started following Pokemon news in Gen.6
Gen.6- Sylveon, Gen.7- Turtonator
I had something similar in gen 6 actually. Wanted to use a fairy type since it was new. My final team ended up being
Delphox
Florges
Pangoro
Aeigslash
Clawitzer
Noivern
And I plan to try to remain spoiler free since for some reason they keep revealing most of the Pokémon the past few gems especially gen 6 :/
I want to only see even a few only cause I want to know 2 things, my starter and my star favorite
The rest I want to grab as I see’em
I remember back when I just loathed Bisharp entirely for no reason other than the fact I couldn’t find one
I still never had one, but I like it after Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond when it gave a real good fight
I love the bisharp line because for some reason it reminds me of power rangers lol
I was initially put off again by its’ high evolution level but grew to like it alot.
It just seems to grow on people
Oh and need Nicknames too
I personally always get a female snivy and name it Nagini but that’s my inner Harry Potter fan. Salazar could work too now that I think about it
Eh, Salazar was a man though, Nagini makes sense.
I mean for a male snivy since it’s a lot easier to get a male
I didnt specify that so that’s on me lol
Fair enough. I’d consider Severus since he was head of Slytherin. Actually Slytherin works for both.
All those names fit actually! I kind of wish we would get another snake starter Pokémon.
Snivy – Bananasnake
Scrafty – Punk or Boogaloo
Eelektross – Eleechtric or Zzucker
Carrotcoaster – Archelon or Shelldon
Cryogonal – Miror C
Golurk – MegasXLR or WALL.G
Shelldon and Zzucker win!
good except cryogonal.
Get yo self a Cinccino
Nah I’ll try out the weeping Flaker
smh
One Pokemon line I’ve always liked, but never used is the Cranidos line. Rampardos is really coo, but for some reason I’ve never tried using it. Maybe it’s because they’re a fossil set and not super to get during normal gameplay in most games. Maybe one day I’ll make a point to breed an egg or something to use on in a playthrough. Maybe I’ll even hold off until the inevitable DP remakes and use them then.
They are great Pokémon and with the exception of Slaking and Legendaries, ect. Rampardos has the highest attack stat of all Pokémon
It also is just an awesome Pokémon in general
Plus its shiny is mad baller
well i discovered a series of unleveled pokes in my boxes
Tepig, Pancham, Wimpod
Ok give me Nicknames for the team https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f5e6e34806843746498a83d965e3e44bfa1a141bc4a89e998a77235b43bb28dd.png
I’ve already named 1
Cryogonal- Frosted Flakes
Now fill in the rest XP
Carracosta-Turtle Hermit
That’s all I got
Waiting for Turtle to actually be all powerful and turn up to Kamehameha a win. I miss Turtle in DB.
Fleur-de-lis
Thug
Shellhead
Morray
Tinker
Tinker wins for Golurk
I’d use Serperiors if I understood it?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4c/Fleur_de_lys_%28or%29.svg/150px-Fleur_de_lys_%28or%29.svg.png
Unless a better name pops up this name wins
how about get rid of Cryognonal and get the infinitely better Cinccino
No… I want to try it out and learn if I like it or not
but who cares
Cincinno is way better
ok…..why did nobody tell me you can SOS Chanseys……..i’ve been diving in and out of green wormholes for audinos for 20 whole minutes……why do i do everything the hard way……every. single. time.
You can get the occasional Blissey, it’s a way of farming Lucky Eggs but you’ll want a Compound Eyes ‘mon constantly on the field to do it.
why would i need a gajillion lucky eggs, you only need one, i just wanna level up some stuff
and i wouldn’t be opposed to finding a Shiny Blissey they make good GTS fodder
Well if you want to raise a team fast then 6 Lucky Eggs is better than 1. Shiny Blissey isn’t that different to regular Blissey.
well does that even work? i mean if the Exp All gives out EXP then shouldn’t whoever’s battling need to wear it? otherwise do the non participating poke get more exp because its also holding it
Lucky Egg only affects the Pokemon holding it. Exp All shares the base experience gained from the opponent, not the boosted exp of the Lucky Egg holder. It’s the same as if you were to use a Pokemon with a different OT out in front, the experience shared isn’t more.
…eh it doesn’t matter this system is working fine and at most i only level a handful of pokes a time, my once level 60 Marowak is now level 80
You’re using Roto EXP Boosts right?
didn’t have one
When Battle Tree hits two Fissures :).
*Time to break my game*
i’ve hit a snag in my Chansey leveling regiment, i can’t stop killing chanseys…..deep down i wanted to SOS a shiny today and by damn i will………my little Tepig is like 60
aaaaaand i got it…..
