I really hope they fix the Dynamax choice item exploit, because some punk electric guy nearly sweeps my team with a Dynamax Wash Rotom despite being tricked with a scarf into wisp and has the absolute nerve to say “Lol id find a new hobby if i were cutting it that close when ground v elec”
Happy thanksgiving to my friends at Pokejungle! I know sometimes we poke fun at each other or butt heads, but this community means a lot to me and you all are wonderful!

Fraxure lv.42
Sliggoo lv.42
Hakamo-O lv.42
Vibrava lv.42
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate it. Thankful for you all!
Guys Gamefreak officially revealed the starter evolutions.
I’ve been running a ghost monotype with
Polteageist
Dragapult
Corsola
Runerigus
Gengar
Mimikyu
And I’ve been winning EVERYTHING
Ghost types are really OP this gen
Aegislash is the worst candidate for dynamax imo because it’s so slow and if it switched to attack forme it DOESN’T GO Back even with Max Guard, essentially making it a slow and frail giant Mon that is outsped by most things and can be destroyed by most neutral hits as well
Happy Thanksgiving! If you celebrate this holiday, hopefully you’re able to spend it with family and eat some tastier-than-usual food.
I may have been missing this past week but that’s because I’ve been hard at work on my National Dex project. I can safely say that it’s already about 75-80% complete after pulling Pokémon from almost every past generation. It’s honestly been a therapeutic activity once I got everything in order. I’m planning on taking a break and going back into Shield so if anyone could help me with Zacian’s Pokédex entry I can begin my first shiny hunting target while hunting some Gigantamaxes on the side.
I just got two shiny Snoms with shield dust…
Can… can I die yet?
at least you got shinies i haven’t seen hide or hair of anything…. i’ve been killing ditto left and right and i’ve been chaining Clobbo
Does that mean you have 3 of them total now? Isn’t there something you can do to guarantee an ability?
So, are there any types you predicted correctly this Gen?
I thought Grass/Rock, Fire, and Water/Ghost or Grass/Dark, Fire/Fighting, and Water/Psychic. At least I got Cinderace right lmao.
Predicted Fighting/Fairy and Fighting/Steel for Zacian and Zamazenta. Got one right at least
Fraxure… why cant you learn iron head my boy?
Game frozen for second time at digging brothers.

Oh my heck
Hey there! I know I haven’t really ever talked on here, but I’ve actually been following the site for the better part of the last 8 years. I’ve always wanted to get more involved, but felt that you guys have such a tight knit little community I never wanted to disrupt. Well, I finally decided to do something with my love of Pokemon and I made a twitch channel where I stream shiny hunting, max raid battles and competitive. If you’d be at all interested feel free to check me out at twitch.tv/backwardshatgaming I would really appreciate it!
Realized I am only 90 Pokemon away from completing the dex. Gotta get on that now that is so close.
I’m 93 away through mostly surprise trade.
Holy hell why do I feel so over leveled fighting Marnie at the champion cup?
Thanks to a friendly person on Discord I now have a completed Pokédex in Shield! I wasn’t expecting there to be a couple extra small bonuses on top of the Shiny Charm. Now I have to figure out what my first target should be…I’ve been thinking about Stonjourner because I just love that thing.
“In Japan, Sword and Shield sold 2 million copies during their first three days on sale, surpassing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the fastest-selling Switch games in that region. In the US, they sold more than 2 million copies in their opening weekend. As of November 21, 2019 Sword and Shield have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide, surpassing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the fastest-selling Switch games worldwide.”
Soooo that Duraludon was swapped out for a Mr. Rime and I must say hes come in pretty handy
You can give three Sword and Shield Pokemon dual types, but you have to give a logical reason for each and remove one Pokemon of that type for every Pokémon that gets a new secondary type. Which do you give secondary types?
Falinks – Whether it’s better or not it has metal armour as part of its’ body, it should be part Steel.
Grapploct – It’s an octopus, it logically would be part Water. Yes many water based creatures have not been Water as a subversion, but this doesn’t feel like that. I would actually accept Ground, partly because of things like Hippopotas, partly because some species of octopus create and use quicksand for various purposes.
Rillaboom – Rock, he rocks. Also Gorillas use rocks as tools and its’ padding on the chest etc looks like it could be stone.
When you say remove do you mean remove new ‘mon of the type? Or any that got in the ‘dex?
OK so remove
Steel – I guess Mawile since removing the Mega neutered it somewhat anyway.
Water – I suppose Octillery because it shares some basis, though I’d be fine removing the Basculins. If it were Ground I think I’d be fine removing Whiscash. Actually Whiscash works for both.
Rock – Solrock (and Lunatone), kinda have to remove both, also would mean no dumb one in raid battles.
Grapploct- Water/Fighting… literaly half it’s pool is fucking water moves
Pick the 1-2 stage water type of your choice to remove, I don’t care tbh
Cor/Cursola- Ghost/Rock, begone Solrock. Not even lunatone. Just solrock
The rest don’t bother me
Oh and before anyone comments as why I left Scorb pure fire? Just give it Electric moves to its set and it’s ability takes care of the rest
I’d sacrifice Throh to make it part fighting tho
Lmao Leon sucked. I swept him with Dragapult alone. Peace out, douchebag
body…….bloated…….akin to a Snorlax…….*ded*
In the biggest mindf*ck of Smash history, Fighter #5 will be Sam from Death Stranding
(Revealed at tGA)
What in the final fantasy is this music against 💺🧔🏻🌹?
Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving or day in general!
