I was unavailable to evolve snom tonight ugh. Anyways here is my team update:
Elloy the Copperajah
Bolt the Boltund
Yerro the Corviknight
Freezelle the Snom
Crisp the Appletun
Soulette the Lampent
All of them are level 45-48. Bolt and Yerro are going to be boxed soon. I hopefully will get Mantine to replace Yerro and see what other pokemon I can find to replace Bolt (preferable a ground or fighting dual types)
Tired of reference from kanto….. I get it, it’s the first region but come one, move on already. Why there is always a gym or someone important that came from far away which is from Kanto

Get Sword?
Good night jungle. @Reece I’ll have your sobble tomorrow morning if you still want it. I know it took me a while to get it for you sorry about that. It’s still in a egg btw. So i don’t know its gender, nature ect.
Night
Found a Delibird and am reminded how sad I am they didn’t let it evolve. Delipeng.
Ok, its Dreepy time! Ok, here’s what we are going to do:
Open the “Y” menu and MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN “INTERNET” MODE AND NOT “LOCAL MODE” BY PRESSING THE “+” BUTTON.
Leave a reply to this post saying if you want a baby lv. 1 Dreepy in premier balls.
I will reply to your post with a code; select “Link Trade” and then “Set Link Code” and enter the code I provided to be linked with me. We will trade.
I dont care what you give me, but if you want to be nice I could use sword exclusives or scorbunny for the pokedex. Again, I dont care what you trade, this would just be a nice bonus for me.
Ok? Let’s do it!
Oh talking to wild area people can get you food for camping. That’s something I guess.
That’s it? What about @CephaloSeraph, or @Taum2? I know both of you wanted one!
I do but I have to subscribe to à Nintendo account tomorrow first :(! Can you hold on to it à little longer please ?
Ok I’ll try again tomorrow!
OMG, I missed it :((
How can you tell what dens are what, numerically speaking? I wanna try farming for a Galarian Ponyta
Snto, are you here?
Just caught G-Max Butterfree.
Gonna battle Bea tomorrow
Lineup:
Ranken the Rillaboom
Philo the Toxtricity
Ganesh the Cufant
Brent the Dracozolt

Adel the Cubchoo
If anyone has a G-Ponyta or Clobbopus to trade, that would be super helpful, don’t wanna wait til later in the game to get them for my team
Anyone have a Scorbunny? I couldn’t find my old login for here so I’m using google
Missing a first bit but our new anime opening https://youtu.be/r60WTXG5QsY
Hey, guys I was wondering. To those who managed to get à dreepy raid battle, could you tell me how and where you managed to get it please !?
I’m on discord as Ruby Deoxys. Looking for Scorbunny Grookey and Jangmoo

What’s everyone’s teams so far?
Roger the Rillaboom
Flea the Centiskorch
Dean the Drednaw

Funny thing is if you count brown as an acceptable substitute for orange in the rainbow, I’ve ended up with a rainbow team again.
I’m an aesthetic person.
Holy cr*ap… just found a Shiny Duskul in the grass…
Sword and Shield OU is wack. Everyone is using focus sash on their dynamax pokemon, which pretty much forces me to use rocks.
Just arrived at Route 10, and i finally completed my team!
Dragapult lv60
Cinderace lv59
Frosmoth lv57
Toxtricity lv57
Grimmsnarl lv57
Corviknight lv56
