Woof woof! Happy year of the dog!
From now until February 17th catching Eevee, Poochyena, Growlithe, Snubbull and Electrike will grant you bonus stardust, and reports of Shiny Poochyena are starting to pour in!
In addition, Team Rocket and Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt outfits, from the original games and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon respectively, are now available for purchase – each full outfit can be bought in pieces, but costs 950 PokeCoins total. Further more, due to server issues earlier today, the Valentine’s Day event has been extended until February 16th.
Sounds like the best time to get out an GO, wear your auspicious colors, and try your luck!
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which evil team, across all main and spin off games, has the best uniform?
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which evil team, across all main and spin off games, has the best uniform?
Team Magma in Pokémon Emerald.
NEO PLASMA
kewl space pirates
Skull
N E O P L A S M A
somebody has good tastes
Has to go to Aqua from ORAS
Definitely Neo Plasma
Main – Neo Plasma https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/34/Black_2_White_2_Team_Plasma_Grunts.png
Spin-off – Cipher
https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/db/Cipher_Peon.png
Honourable mention – ORAS Magma hoodie.
I just hate the hats on neo plasma.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1VxaMEjRU
Hail hydra
OG Magma
That’s just for Grunts though.
I’d probably give it to ORAS Team Aqua if we’re looking at everyone.
Team skull https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/85c649dfee450f9bb5e61c352045c13bf408c6a71539e7998cf5f6ef803b853f.jpg
The Go-Rock Squad and the Go-Rock Quads.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/13/Go_Rock_Squad_grunts.png
Go Rock Quads looks like Steven Stone cosplaying as different characters haha
These are literally the uniforms I had in mind when I decided to add “spin off games” to the question :p
I didn’t remember exactly what they looked like but Pokemon Ranger was a huge part of my childhood. Turns out they were RAD!
Neo Plasma’s uniform takes the cake for me, but I absolutely love Team Skull’s as
well. And am I the only one that has been obsessed with Team Magma’s hoodies (both the original and redesign) since 2003?
Ok now that there is spin off games I gotta say
.
.
.
Teem skull I mean cumon theyre NUDE
I guess Team Skull
So ummm…….
Anybody shiny hunting?
Nah I would, but I don’t have the patience for it… or the shiny charm
Do fishing in xy/oras
great and really fast!
Longest hunt for me was less then 30 minutes
I’ll replay Y or AS then do it (I’ve restarted both )
Lol I’ve restarted x ~6 times
Kind of on again off again SRing for Xurkitree. It’ll happen eventually, but I’m not concerned lol
Still hunting Celebi
Well, I caught a shiny Luvdisc yesterday in GO. Which is funny, considering I trashed it the day before.
I’m currently taking a break from shiny hunting. I might go back to using the Ultra Wormhole and seek out more shiny legendary or UBs soon
Alot of Go stuff recently huh.
Yep Shiny Poochyena is now on the market
Love that golden pupper!
We are in a post generation news drought after all…
Like, seriously. They’ve been pumping out small events and other stuff in game like C R A Z Y recently – really has put my faith back into Niantic tbh. Seems like they’ve finally got their groove together.
God damn I love gen 5 so much. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would become my favorite gen of the munch. My favorite Pokemon still come from other gens, but the games themselves are amazing. Just watched the BW2 animated trailer and it reminded me why I love BW2. I’m seriously considering buying White 2 on Amazon so I can play through it like I did
Black again. It’s just so good. First I should probably finish Crystal tho……Gen 5 has taken away my attention fro other games I really should finish before hand….
Why does Kukui love the number four
The writers knew that fans would want to four-nictate with him.
I can’t fourgive that.
God has officially four-saken us.
Y’all better stop with these terrible puns be-four I ban you four-ever
Fine, if you say so.
Well, what’s four dinner?
Haven’t you seen the weather four-cast? We can’t have barbecue today
I wish I could four-get this stupid bit
You could of left be-four it happened
You know I don’t like being in the four-ground
Ugh you don’t have to get so riled up… That’s so like four-ty years ago
You know I got a temper like my four-father
I hope you have common decency… Even four year olds have that
At least I have the four-sight to get angry with justifiable reasons
What have I done…
I’m done four.
You should’ve four-seen this
This day will best be four-gotten by our four-fathers…
I am going for a stroll through the Four-est be-four it gets too dark. If anyone wants to escort me home befour i am done four, i could use a good four-arm with a little four-thought.
awwww, be back be-fore bed!
ehhhh we will fore-get it
If you think any of you are getting dinner after this, four-get about it.
Come ON!! I am going to hit you with a bat in the FOUR-head!
…this is the only acceptable answer
That’s how many women he needs to climax
Cuz he wants to be in a four-some, with burnet, the mc and incinaroar
Find a Pokémon song and rename it to sound more…unique
Ex: Battle Royale theme -> A Battle of Royale Porportions!
Route 201 Day Theme -> A lovely stroll on Route 201
I like that! Another one could be: A Sunny Lakeside Wander
Thanks
And….Lycanroc’s counter just killed my tank, Metagross, during my E4 wonderlocke. Yet another reason to hate the sh!t character that is Olivia. Thought for sure she would use crunch. I’m so pissed right now.
Metagross will not be forgot
If I beat everyone I’ll revive him from the dead 😛
Not training new mons for the post game
Yey! Thats why I hate nuzlocks
Daaaaaamn My battle with Morty went pretty great. I sent out Heracross first to try and at least weaken his first Ghastly. It did the job, but ended up fainting. then I sent out Phanpy and used Rollout. Then it just swept his entire team. In the end Phanpy leveled up to 26 and evolved right after the battle ended. What a great little guy. Or should I say big guy now that he’s a Donphan? hahaha
Cool! Nice work getting Donphan
Love this Pokemon. It’s first time using it and I’m very pleased. Can’t wait to transfer it up to the most recent games
Donphans pretty cute! Good job beating morty!
Thanks. I tried the other night and hi Gengar started beating me up so I turned it off until I had more time. Figured I’d give it a go one time before going to grind and it just so happened I was able to pull it off.
What’s your Donphan’s movepool?
If I’m correct
Tackle/Headbutt
Take Down
Mud-Slap
Rollout
Rollout, Mud-Slap, Defense Curl, and Flail actually haha. I know Flail isn’t always the best, but I figure eventually it’ll be gone anyway in favor for Earthquake or something.
I think I just realized something about Infinity War
One reason why Thanos might now be attacking earth for/with the Infinity Stones might be hinted at in Dr.Strange. Wong says that the Ancient Ones death would spread and become known by those wamting earth, so what if Thanos decides now is a good time to do it and get the stones residing there as the Ancient one who probably could easily beat Thanos is now gone so it will givehim an upper hand. Also explains why a member of the Dark Order specifically targets Dr.Strange in the trailers because he has the powers of her and could be a large threat to Thanos’s plans
Just a thought, but this actually sounds like a good theory for why IW is happening now rather than earlier
Thats intresting! The movie is coming out relatively soon, isn’t it?
I think mid may like the 15 I think?
Wow that’s actually pretty close!
Well, no. It’s simpler than that. Doctor Strange has the time stone and Thanos wants it. The Soul Stone also presumably resides in Wakanda given a large part of the movie seems to take place there.
Thanos is doing all of this to impress Death
Makes sense
Maybe my theory of the Ancient One is more on par with something for Dr.Strange 2 (despite us knowing Moddo will be the villain)
Yeah. I imagine Dormammu will want his revenge as well.
Hmm that may be the case, but I feel Dormammu may keep his world to stop seeking earth
Dormammu doesn’t like being bested though, and there’s a pretty famous run in the comics where Mordo serves Dormy to kill Strange (and the ancient one, but they’re already dead so). I also can’t see them leaving Klea out for too long. She’s Dormammu’s niece and a pretty important character to Strange. They killed the Ancient One and as great as Rachel McAdams is, she’s just a civilian love interest. They’ve got to bring in more females and Klea is their best bet.
Oh also should mention that
There is a likely a year more or less gap between Dr.Strange and Ragnarok (Rangnarok comes probably weeks to a few months before IW in the timeline) well we must consider three other facts
First being that word may not spread immediately so it may have taken a while to reach Thanos
Second may be that even if he leaned of it, it may have taken him a bit of time to collect the stones not on earth like the red stone and the stone in possession of the novacore
Third he may be waiting for all the stones to be seen recently than make his move knowing exactly where to pinpoint them
I wonder if we’ll see him attack Xandar to get the power stone from the Nova Corp. I bet that’s part of how Thor & Co and the Guardians are tied together. Kind of hoping Nova Prime dies to lay the ground for a Nova solo movie.
Guess there has to be some scene with Thanos and the Collector as well to get the reality stone.
Wait whats Nova Solo? (Not the biggest follower of Marvel’s timeline)
https://www.star2.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/str2_wow0702nova_MAIN_da-e1486383068706-770×470.jpg
I don’t know much about him, but Nova is a B-list Marvel superhero who they’ve kinda tried to bring into more comics recently. Basically he’s a member of the Nova Corps who fights intergalactic threats and sh!t.
I think they could bring him in pretty easily after Infinity War. In the comics, Rhomman Day (who is actually the character John C. Reily plays in Guardians of the Galaxy) is the last surviving member of Xandar’s Nova Corps and uses his last bit of life to transfer his power to this New York kid Richard Rider. This instills him with the power of the Nova Force, which is where the Nova Corp draw their powers.
So basically just wipe out the Nova Corp in Infinity War since Thanos needs the power stone anyway, and BAM you’re set up for a Nova movie.
The only real “issue” is that they didn’t really show the Nova Corp to have a “nova force” where they draw power from. But I think Marvel could think away around this. They’re pretty smart with their properties.
Sounds like a cool hero to me
I think the future of Marvel is in the stars. People like space stuff so I say a Nova movie is a good move for them.
Yay!! And now I got my Chinchou on my team! Tings are coming together. Only one left.
WHERE IS CHINCHOU IN CRYSTAL I MUST FIND
Get the Good rod from the guy in Olivine and then you can fish back at New Bark Town. There are other places, but that’s where I just got mine
Fun fact that is sort of irrelevant you can obtain Poliwag right after the first gym in Johto via the old rod and the spot right after Cherrygrove
I hate that there are so many good water types. It makes choosing the water starter difficult especially since I don’t really want to play Johto without using a Totodile lol
WHY IS DEMUNCHER SOO ANNOYING IN YKW2
I should of had he foresight to avoid him
OH GOD NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Literally he is a pain in the a$$ on so many levels. Has moves that drain health easily, those same attacks can render a slightly underleveled Yo-kai knocked out, to continue that quest you have to befriend him (Favorite food is meat), literally an attack similar to Shogunyan’s
But then again he still is nothing to the most dreadful one. Dame Deadtime first form (In my collection of Top 10 hardest bosses)
Oh god i had to get my friend who’s a master at YW to beat her….
Right now i’m going around and trying to find some A rank’s to replace some weaker team members. My team is, Jibanyan,High Gnomey,Mirror guy,Faux Kappa,Badude and Frostail.
Just lost a Casanono but hey, I’m getting Darknyan
Your Lucky, my team was when fighting her was Jibanyan, Pallysol, Predictabull, Dracunyan, Swelton and Komiger (I’ve actually used Komajiro in both games on my main team)
Your team seems to be pretty well rounded with Speed, Physical and Special, but lacks Defense so a wall like Enduriphant or Robanyan might serve well especially with a boost from Badude
Thanks! I might get a frostina to replace jibanyan and a darknyan to replace the mirror guy
And something I wonder while on the topic
Why do they always d*ck Pupsicle? It’s an E-rank that is outclassed by most Yo-kai and its evolution item is always post game.
Here ye, here ye!

…That is all.
I knew he wanted to be in a foursome all along….
pedophile
Ok why do people complain about Heracross so much? Just looked you can Headbutt any tree in route 30 and have a 30% chance to get one in all except Crystal (where oddly they redid all the trees encounters there)
He is good normally but he is a PAIN in crystal. That is probably why
Well his movepool in gen 2 is hot garbage. Sometimes I wonder why they made pokemon and then didn’t give them decent moves to fit their stat spreads. It doesn’t even learn a good fighting move.
I’m suprised no one has done this as a comment question yet because of the theme of the GO event, but:
Because it’s the year of the dog, what is your favorite canine Pokémon?
LILLIPUP!
Sweet pupper that must be protected at ALL costs. No exception
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/613c1ab17b5acac25c2329981c9fc9105467018143bf6ffd7ef5d3ecc8cfe4c0.jpg
I can’t tell you how much I love Lillipup. It’s so cool to have gamefreak do a Maltese Pokemon because I have 2 morkies (Maltese/Yorkshire breed) as pets. And then this line came along and I flipped my shet in excitement.
It is cute and stoutland is just so cool and strong! Herdier is also epic
And even using them in game they are so much fun, with the elemental fangs, Intimidate, Play Rough, Crunch, Iron Head, and Thunder Wave is great
I suppose Lycanroc midday? Idk. I like many of the dog pokemon, but I don’t have a clear winner. If we’re going with canine though, Leafeon has always been one of my favorites, but, then again, I don’t think you could say eevee’s line is strictly canine as Espeon is clearly more feline.
If Pokemon was open world. How would shinies work? Also finally we hopefully can have a fully orchestrated soundtrack… And a bigger reigon
It depends on how the pokemon are spawned/generated. Do they crawl out of a bush or do they just generate when your camera is facing elsewhere?
Or maybe there’s a set limit within in an area and you would need to exit/re enter to respawn the pokemon
I like that idea but I think they should spawn naturally and you can find grass patches to chain/find smaller opponents
An open world pokemon with no patches of grass probably wouldn’t work, as cool as it may seem in our heads. This is why they really need more overworld pokemon. It was nice to see more in USUM, but they were just there for decoration and that was it.
That’s bullshit
They can just spawn in the overworld then the battle starts if you get close to them
Well I guess it could work like that. I was thinking more that if they had over world spawns then it would get rid of the old battle system too and you would attack them in real time
They don’t have to. Just make the transition to battles seamless
IVE BEN SAYIN THIS
Cut out the stupid beginning “swirl animation” into the battle that wastes time
I think we need both grass and over world encounters
Grass would be a bit less common and would exist more in forests and such (Grass probably would shake when a Pokémon’s there) with overworld encounters working like how Star said
When a Pokémon spawns it has a low chance of being shiny
So now they can be worth something again
And maybe no method hunting
So just found out that Bandai America has lost the license to produce power rangers toys. Very curious since they have been together for 25 years. Maybe we will get a company that will produce zords that aren’t aren’t freaking bricks lol
It still completely blows me away that Gamefreak set themselves up for a really good story about creation, destruction, & order and did absolutely 0 things right with that premise.
Eevee is dog confirm? Eevee is dog confirm.
Confused they chose Poochyena as the shiny when Growlithe has Japanese/Chinese themes and is actually a dog but hey whatever floats their boat
Poochyena is a canine like Pokémon and its probably to market Hoenn in Go
Other than that Growlithe should’ve gotten the shiny form
Hyenas are not canines though.
They are using poochy cuz he is a gen 3 and they want to market them so…
Yep I give up on breeding a female eevee in crystal. Would have preferred a female but whatever I just want to continue my game already lol will post a team update shortly
Crystal team update. As I mentioned the other day I dropped out Croconaw for another water type and that water type is Poliwag! Will let everyone play a guessing game on what I will evolve it into I suppose! And my newest team member eevee which I will be evolving into an espeon 🙂 going to run around to get its friendship up enough so I can evolve it at level 16 to get confusion.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8d52f6498a59a88c31e6936154f815b41de04008df6b568b72c9c85a609d8040.jpg
Much love for using Poliwag!!!!
Thanks ^.^ decided to use it because it’s been years since I used the particular evolution I am planning to use! It’s definitely settled nicely into my team I must say
Unless you can trade it’ll be Poliwrath.
I truly hate myself sometimes, I barely sleep and yet I’m incapable of sleeping in once I awaken ergo waking up at like 5:39am and not getting any extra winks at all
I know none of y’all are here atm, but I want y’all to decided for me
Should I do a Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke? It’d be the second one after White 2 all that time ago
If you want to, it’s your time and entertainment.
I don’t like nuzlocks but
Sure! Just hopefully no one dies
In Alpha Sapphire I have a few worries about losing members (Except maybe like 1 member who will go down from just a stroke of bad luck)
You should, I think it should definitely have some hard parts. Are you planning to it without the Exp Share?
Not sure I realize my copy is at my mom’s so I must wait a bit so I will use this time to think how I want to do it
But probably, no exp. Share to make a sort of challenge
I don’t get how people don’t get super bored of Pokemon
Trust me I am
Because I don’t have to just play the games to enjoy it
I care more about Pokémon than their gameplay because there’s alot more I can imagine and create in my head then what any game will ever give me (This is how I never grow bored of it)
Pokemon fans not caring about the gameplay is why Pokémon has never changed
it’s been a while and i am absolute plumb dang bored
Trainersona Bio
Golisopod
Gender: Male
Apparent level: 69
Location of capture: Alola Route 8
Pokeball: Net Ball
Moves: First Impression, Leech Life, Aqua Jet, Swords Dance
Ability: (Begrudgingly) Emergency Exit
Nature: Hardy (Really Impish)
Unique Traits: Shell has numerous scars and scratches (Was close to making it canonically Shiny)
Personality: Golisopod can only be described as “The calm before the storm” Golisopod is a quiet patient hunter who waits for the perfect opportunity to strike with cataclysmic results quietly sitting even when a battle is underway absorbing any attack with his dense diamond hard shell and when the moment arises he screeches and moves at terrifying speeds to cleave the opponent in twain, he is relatively fresh to my team only recently being trained with for only a year and a half thus not forming any deep bond with his teammates
“Golisopod is a quiet patient hunter who waits for the perfect opportunity to strike with cataclysmic results quietly sitting even when a battle is underway absorbing any attack with his dense diamond hard shell and when the moment arises he screeches and moves at terrifying speeds to cleave the opponent in twain”
That’s all one sentence. You really need to break it up a bit. It’s hard to read.
Bleh blah grammar nazzy just add a comma after results, and maybe shell
It’s not grammar nazi, it’s a legit critique lol. Too many commas is also hard to read, because they’re part of the same sentence. The only way to end a sentence is a ‘!’, a ‘?’, a ‘.’, or a ‘;’ if it’s a list of sentences.
I read that as a deep bond with his tetanus
Ugh mine is being a turd today, and being congested isn’t helping
Well slight update but my Eevee evolved into espeon! Now I can finally train my team up some and take on the ghost gym again. I am thinking I will get espeon and growlithe caught up to 22. And if no one would mind can someone please help me think of a good nickname for my poliwag. Something that fits both lines. Anyways I am off to bed since I haven’t slept yet lol night everyone!

nnnrrrrrrr Wogger
Yeah!!!! I like Espeon
It’s a great member
Finally, after hours of grinding (PlatinumNumemon and PlatinumSukamon definitely sped up the process though), I got Omnimon Zwart. Now I just need TyrantKanuterimon…
