YO HOW DID I GET A THIRD SHIELD DUST SHINY SNOM THERE’S A 60% CHANCE FOR ICE SCALES WHY IS MY LUCK LIKE THIS
Anybody willing to trade a Grookey for a Scorbunny or Sobble? I have a couple of females Sobbles too…
Ok aside from a few hiccups i’m positive that Dracovish is prime bane material
i wanted to experiment with baton passers but they’res no Anything Goes tier yet that would allow me a Ninjas to swards dance and get a speed boost or two
But mark my words when Sand Rush Dracovish is released expect to see it online everywhere
When does G-lax come out?
Got a WHOLE bunch of Bold Feebas babies I’ll give away later if anyone is interested. Monkeyfuzz, I’ve saved you a perfect male with swift swim (marvel scale on milotic)
They are breedjects and I have half a box of eggs left to hatch, might as well see what comes out.
So any guesses who is going to be banned first: G-Corsola, G-Darmanitan, or Dracovish?
all of them!
Lucario. Besides an extra Deoxys and the Spring forms of Deerling and Sawsbuck, Lucario is the end of the road for my National Dex project. I’ve probably spent over 30 hours on this over the past few weeks and I am so happy that it’s finally over. However, I would still like to ask for assistance on the few Pokemon that I can’t get myself. If someone would be willing to do some trade evolutions with me for Golem, Slurpuff and Aromatisse I would be forever grateful. As thanks I can offer almost any mythical Pokemon of your choice from my event boxes because I have so many duplicates. Let me know if you’re interested.
How does a Cutiefly stop me going full speed on a bike?
It should’ve been agonizingly mangled in the spokes
Lmao ngl lowkey annoyed that Rookidee is pure Flying. Not because some ‘pure Flying must be wind elementals’ logic but because it’s dumb from a gameplay point of view.
You should be able to look at a Pokemon and gauge what types it is. This has slowly gotten worse over the Gens, with examples such as Decidueye and Grapploct coming to mind. This means that in gameplay, you can use your knowledge of other Pokemon to deduce what to throw up against it.
Grapploct gives me depression because unlike half the mons that “look one type but aren’t it” it literally has a wider water movepool then some water types do
Also i am pretty much annoyed how they limited the toxic distribution. When I build teams I try to run all three status(Burn, Paralyze, Poison) and now I am more limited with my options
Hey, would someone be able to trade my partner a Stonjourner? They have all Shield exclusives to offer (including Eiscue since that’s its counterpart).
If you had to give your favourite non-Legendary a regional variant, what type/abjktoy would you give it and what region would it adapt to? Bonus points for reasoning
Does anyone want to do a Gardevoir raid?
I can.
If you can’t breed Gigantamax Pokemon, where did Leon get a Gmax Charmander? Where are the Gmax babies? And assuming you can just find Gmax Charmander, how would you know it has that capability before it’s a Charizard? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/674a284042ccc763c469506bda39c50015a04d9e4b3ff15ec819945ea00c92a9.png
I’m trying to organize my boxes based on the National dex, so I’m filling the holes with the next available mon and it’s a pain lol
Bit related to this and to my post down below, but thank the Lorde that GameFreak got lazy and had every Alcremie use Strawberry Sweets in their box sprite. Now I only have to collect like 9 instead of 63
Well I got nothing interesting to say so might as well call it a day
My Thanksgiving vacation draws to a close with my regularly scheduled doctor appointments and so forth
Of all times to go to a nutritionist after 3 days of holiday gorging -____- tomorrow we should try to get some battles going
I truly cannot believe in 24 days Christmas will be here and very soon the year 2020 (which sounds like a cheesy sci-fi year tag line
Also don’t miss out on select deals for Cyber Monday, Reality is an illusion and death is around every corner and nothing truly matters
Good night all you beautiful people *Mwah*
Bored and allnightering uni work before I start working on Saturday soo
Jungle Project Character Introduction #2:
Locke Helm (pre-Timeskip)
A young trainer from Ballonlea, Locke favors using the Grass, Fairy, and Poison-types found in abundance around his hometown. He feels lost in the Swarming Jungle Guild as others seem to have an strong grasp on their dreams, whereas Locke wants to hone his skill to be able to find his future.
He battles using a slower, tactical style. This means sacrificing his own power for tools he can use to manipulate his opponent’s. He greatly enjoys the synergy his types have, and he’s willing to grow to overcome glaring weaknesses. This has caused a ‘Jack of All Trades, Master of None’ style that sometimes means he simply does not have the raw power to win regardless of skill. Due to the combination of his Pokémon of choice, his immense skill, and his unsure nature, he has earned the title of Budding Baron.
Locke Helm (post-Timeskip)
Although the Swarming Jungle Guild is in Unova, he’s been able to travel the world with the Guild’s resources – and he does not like what he has seen. Pokémon shunned and reviled due to associations with the wrong people using them. Seeing Poison-types in particular facing discrimination, Locke decided that he wanted to become a Poison-type Gym Leader. This dream served to make the type more popular whilst attaining the resources necessary to help Pokemon that have fallen victim to the hate.
By focusing on a singular dream, he’s developed a far more potent battling style. His weaknesses have become more apparent – yet so have his strengths. Locke is more than willing to put his pride on the line to show the world the power of Poison Pokemon. Don’t let that fool you however, his skills with Grass and Fairy Pokemon have also evolved, just a bit slower. This newly found focus has earned him the title of ‘Poisonous Prince‘.
Well I completed the Pokedex and got the Shiny Charm.
Now time…. to not get any Shinies for al ong time because I rolled a 1 luck when I was born!
Set yourself a goal ‘mon and give it a go. Luck can’t be worse than mine.
Who else is participating in the Galar Beginnings competition? I’m almost done building my team, which is actually just a competitive version of my 1st playthrough team haha.
Wait a few questions that all relate to each other
Does the shiny charm affect max raids?
Does everyone get the shiny?
If yes to the other two. Is it possible to amplify the shiny odds with multiple charm holders?
I think
Yes, as with all encounters.
Yes, if you all catch it.
No, it’ll be the one who starts the raid.
The shiny Pokémon is found in the game of the one who initiates the raid and thus depends on their odds. Fun fact, even if you lose, or don’t catch it and soft reset (presuming you saved before), it’ll still be shiny. I think that’s probably because the odds of IVs, abilities, and shiny are all rolled when the den is activated (I.e either at midnight or if you raid all the Dens)
I need to get back on my endgame goals
-6IV Ditto
-Breeding a absolute cheater Battle Tower team
-Finish the Pokédex, something I’ve never done
-Breed My Monotype and OU team
@Monkeyfuzz:disqus What was that link to build your team again? I’ll bookmark it this time!
I’m curious what shinies y’all have encountered thus far and how you got them. I caught Chewtle and Clobbopus both through “chaining” (is it still chaining if it’s just a counter?)
Seedot, random encounter about an hour and a half into play, now a Shiftry. Rookidee, Masuda Method.
Toxapex purple beam max raid battle, don’t know if that had something to do with it, but since that was my first and only shiny I’m now conditioned to combeeline to a purple beam the minute I set my eyes on it!
I just had the worst thing happen to me. So I found a G-Max Orbeetle raid somehow (no, I’m not working those glitch tricks, I’m too scared my save will get corrupted). It was 5-star and super difficult since for some reason it had 8 PARTS to each shield barrier thingie which it but up TWICE. I defeated it, and then when it asked me to catch it, that’s when it happened. I selected my ball, being a net ball, and then the selection just whizzed forward on its own JUST before I was ABOUT TO PRESS A throwing the ball, and it landed on a REGULAR POKEBALL. It escaped of course.
NEVER THOUGHT FRIGGIN JOYCON DRIFT WOULD FUKING RUIN MY POKÉMON GAME BUT OKAY
Since then I’ve been imagining how else it could ruin my game. Like what if I found a shiny, and when I pressed down to switch to the bag section, it moved one more step to RUN AND I FUKIN RUN AWAY FROM A SHINY. shudder. Be careful folks. I know i will.
If it’s your raid just reset and retry.
So OU is basically what everyone expected would be in it but…
-Cinderace made it in, shoutout to him for being the first pure fire to do that and even before HA
-Toxtricity is there for anti meta
-Weavile and Poltea are UU???!?
