The younger a victim Litwick kills, the brighter its flame is
Stop spoiling the Dex for me!
🙁
Nah I’m not really upset but I like reading them As I collect them.
Ready to feel old? If Diamond and Pearl remakes release next year, children born around the time the originals released will be 13 or 14 years old. That’s about how old I and many others here were when X and Y released.
I was 22 when x and y came out.
@Keihzaru:disqus nobody I asked can rn, my Shiftry is Lv 50 with Seed Bomb, we might be able to do it without 1 more.
What’s your Galar Champion team, and some comments on each?
Roger the Rillaboom, stern as an oak. Bulkier than expected allowing it to survive and Drum Beat an opponent he wouldn’t beat otherwise, allowing him to outspeed and strike for the win.
Flea the Centiskorch, always on fire. Bit of a Bedeslayer seeing as he always took the front lines against him, and with the Leech Life TR he was an absolute physical menace the whole playthrough.
Dean the Drednaw, as versatile as water. He was a nice inbetween of Roger’s skill and Flea’s raw power, being able to dish out a hit and deal a hit whilst having the right tools to dish heavy damage to many foes.
Axel the Toxtricity, shockingly destructive. Couldn’t quite deal compared to what he dished out, but Punk Rock made him a special nuke with Overdrive, Boomburst, and Snarl.
Paul the Sandaconda, well-grounded. Sand Veil actually came in clutch a few times and with an Assault Vest he was quite capable of taking hits on both ends. He started off sketchy but proved his worth in the late-game.
Courtney the Alcremie, fairy good! She’s probably the MVP. Took a while to evolve her as I wasn’t keen on basic strawberry sweets on her but she’s rocking the strawberry lemonade style. She took down many a foe, being the Marniemurderer as well as pelting Piers and ravaging Raihan. Her Dazzling Gleam never failed to hit hard, to the point that Psychic and Energy Ball felt hardly necessary.
Emma the Cinderace: My darling partner and a literal walking nuke. If you didn’t resist her attacks, you died. Plain and simple.I managed to get high jump kick on her too, which only improved her strength
Nevermore the Corviknight: My second in command, a wall, an unkillable menace. While he originally played a more passive role, he soon became a terrifying sweeper through bulk up.
Murdoc the Toxtricity: After the long while it took for evolution, Murdoc proved himself worthy by becoming a sound based nightmare that could clear double battles in no time flat. However he was rather slow, so he usually would be the first of my mons to faint.
Pile Diver the Grapploct: Got him far earlier than I expected. He was quite bulky and usually would be the first line of defense against any incredibly bulkier mon because octolock wallbreaked. He got a lot of fun moves though
Nyooooooooom the Dragapult- Very late but a very strong sweeper. Often became my dedicated lead due to her high speed and access to uturn
Hyperion the Frosmoth- Joined really late and isn’t HA, so I don’t have much to say yet.
Wow, one of my friends who’s always been Nintendo-curious got a switch lite and Sword and one friend who’s never shown an interest in Switch or Pokemon is considering getting a switch and sword
Tf
I hate how Bede fucking looks like an old woman.
Just beat Kabu and I must say if I didnt have drizzile I would have had a real hard time
I’m helpin by being a target.
Human Shields are a vital part of the team, they soak up the bullet storm so the main character’s hair stays nice
I just really need to say, that I wasnt expecting this game to be much, after gen 7’s mediocrity and all the controversy surrounding it. hell I was planning on quitting pokemon after this game failed to impress me.
But it didnt fail to impress me. I loved my time with it, it blew me away despite all of its problems. It was fun, memorable, wonderful, and I cant wait to play through it again, and probably again and again. I love the pokemon designs, I love the wild area, Iove the characters, all of them. Heck even dynamaxing was pretty fun, then theres raids… man I cant wait to see how gamefreak (hopefully) changes the bad and amplifies the good.
F*CK
I just threw a lure ball at a Litwick thinking it was an ultra ball and I have no idea when I last saved. Someone please fucking tell me there are more in game.
Hmm I wonder
Cosmos line is in the game code but how would you get Solgaleo and Lunala? Version Exclusive again?
Perhaps time of day
Jesus I just ran into a level 50 Croviknight in the wild area
Soon you’ll be finding them like loose change
Trying to get Arrokuda on Route 2 is pain
What do the large gold beams in the wild area mean?
Power Trip and Hone Claws on Rookidee is broke af lmao
All in all I’m enjoying Shield a lot though. They’ve done a good job on their placement of mons so far in the game (only at 3 badges) I think replays will be quite fun.
It’s definitely a very flawed game, but mainly from a graphical standpoint as far as I can gather. I still think they could have used a bit more time to really polish it up.
Earthen possible Shield Team
Cinderace
Corviknight
Appletun
Grappleoct/Falinks
Stonjourner (if anyone could trade me one)
Maybe Duraludon kinda scrapping the barrel
Fun fact: Gmax Copperajah doesn’t lay down normal spikes, it lays down a Steel-type version of Stealth Rocks! Wish it was a normal move too
The only plus side of that abomination
I feel like it only rains in my wild area. Nothing else
So you can potentially get Galarian Mr. Mime as soon as you walk into the wild area lol
Can you? I got Mr.Rime through Keihzaru’s raid.
Fml my switch just died even though it was plugged in…it’s just been a bad day.
In a few weeks, I’d like to talk about a part in the story that really bothers me because I cant help but feel I missed something.
Wobuffet and Solrock are worst raid partners by far
AGREED
What about Magikarp

So my friend who is a police officer is a bit peeved that there’s no female version of the officer class to choose from as your badge icon in game, and I looked into it and just realized that there’s actually never been a female officer class in any game except Pokemon Yellow, and that was just Officer Jenny as a NPC. Kind of strange.
Well the Mighty Earthen needs his mighty rest, tomorrow is his first day of work with Sword and Shield in the house and debating to bring it with him or not
