I really love Rookidee. I also really like Nickit except the tail I can’t stop thinking of campfires.
On Nessa’s gym, with:
Sean, the Drizzile (lvl 24)
Ben, the Yamper (lvl 23)
Olivia, the Carkol (lvl 24)
Her Dyna-Drednaw OHKO’d my Dyna-Yamper and the rest of the team fell apart. 🤦♂️
Do we have any new shiny hunting methods this time around?
Im just tryin to find ice raids so I cna get snom I’m not asking for much
I need ice raids too so I can get ice beam as neither snom nor Frosmoth can learn it.

I opened Clobbopus raid for Seraph and caught it and it was Adamant so I couldn’t pass on it. Poor Nibbles
Also caught Gigantomax Corviknight
Seraph, I can confirm, if my Dragapults babies share her pokeball, they’ll be in Premier balls.
Yeah confirmed, Bede is gay
about to catch snom in my only friend ball, wish me luck that it has a good nature(as long is not decreasing speed or spA i will be okay)
Hate Hop jesus he loose all the time with everyone
Aww I liked the guy. Hes got a much stronger resolve than most of the previous rivals that’s for sure.
I think it’s a good time now to take my break from playing. I feel decently accomplished with todays playthrough
what is the easiest way to evolvesnom ?
Hope pokemon change for the next generation, we really need a big change honestly…..

I can’t upload through Disqus nor about to get everything in without sacrifice vision so forgive if you have poor eyesight
I love it, but dust your ceiling edges before the cases get dusty too!
Ahhh! I just saw that until I get that first badge Pokémon over level 20 won’t obey me! I’m already at 20 for two of them!
God I really want Sword and Shield 2 to make it more polished and have difficulty options whilst continuing the story
-Better online connection for friends
-Wild Area pokemon that change weekly
-Exp share OFF
-Hop’s leg sawed off (Just because)
-Apricorn Balls buyable through either watts or BP
-20% more Cockney Humor
-Curry requiring less berries
Anyone know why it keeps logging me out when I refresh the page, or if I try to post a photo it says I need to be logged in but I am?

Any update on ice raids? I’ve yet to find one
Ive got Gigantamax Lapras I’m struggling with right now.
You know what I want to see? Like seriously this is something I want very badly in a pokemon game;
Let me use features like pokemon amie/refresh/camp without getting bonus effects in battle. It’s bad enough pokemon games are as easy as they are, these thing reslly push them over the edge. I’ve beaten the game but havent even looked at camp for fear that it will make the game braindead.
Though to be fair, I’m thinking leon just might have my vote for most difficult champion.
Team Yell says #savetheturtles
Electrike won’t leave me alone.
Beat Kabu
Lineup:
Ranken the Thwackey
Philo the Toxtricity
Barney the Barraskewda
Sid Vicious the Scraggy
Mogg the Orbeetle
Adel the Cubchoo
Barney completely swept Kabu and fish slapped him
