Should I use Drapion or Scoliopede in my White 2 run?

I want all the Flabebe forms. Which flowers have which colors? I know White is the rare one that can be found anywhere but beyond that I don't know for sure. Google is not actually helpful somehow.

Pretty sure that on routes where Flabebe is found, the kind of Flabebe is found in the corresponding flower patch. Reds in red patches, Yellows in yellow patches, Blues in purple patches. Oranges are found in all patches, but are pretty rare (but not as rare as white ones).

hmmm, tough call. I have both on mine (but that was a Poison mono run, that I'm ending, transferring up everything so I can start a Bug run).

Scolipede is cuter, so that. I like using Drapion, but it's one of the most overdesigned non-legendaries. There is just too much going on there.

There should be a scorpion pokemon that looks a little more realistic than Drapion does

I like Scolipede much more, personally. Drapion has a neat typing though.

I've decided I'm going to use Drapion as it has much better coverage pre-gen 6. I'll save Scoliopede for a Sun/Moon play through cause I know I'm gonna be replaying that game a bunch

I also though of accordions. I remember first running into scorupi and being excited about a scorpion pokemon then it evolved. WHY SO UGLY? The typing is neat though. But BugDark would've been cool too.

I know this is probably a long standing complaint, but how come becoming the champion doesn't mean anything? When you refight the elite 4 they're all "the champion is waiting". Like why bother making that something you can earn if you actually don't. Even just omitting the champ on refights or having some variation of "<character name>! I'm here to reclaim my title!".

Yes this has bothered me since RBY

when you defeat the champ you are added to the hall of fame. but since your character is a child, you most likely opt out of standing in the champion's chamber and instead keep your label of Champion but continue to go on adventures. Blue chose otherwise because he really wanted to be a douche. anyways that's my headcanon

Nobody ever said it was a Title match to be that region's champion. It's just for the rights to be a Pokemon League(tm) Champion and you get a cheap 10 pokedollar plastic certificate with a cheap mass produced mug that says "I'M A CHAMP"

Read the fine print.

You can stay and be a champion, or leave and be a hermit master

Yeah, turns out Bulbapedia had the frequencies. Thirty percent for the color of the patch, 4% for orange and 1% for white in any grass on the route, even non-flower.

Got the orange super quickly but haven't gotten a white yet. Boo.

Thought I'd use the GTS, but it turns out you can't sort by form and also everyone wants like a Hoopa or some poo poo. Any goon with a spare one?

Prepare for trouble!

And make it a double!
all yall motherfuckers inspired me to build a Living Pokedex within my Pokebank so I'm working on that. Most of the work was already done for me in Gen 4 when i last completed a Dex (not a living dex tho). So... yeah. This is the project i'm dedicated to now.

Anyone have Skrelp/Dragalge for trade? Also, I think the Aromatisse line?

For reference, I have basically 100%'d Pokemon X in terms of gameplay and plot and stuff (not pokedex wise), but I'm at the beginning of OR.

Edit: Friend code is 4871-8062-7071

If we have been friends before, my code changed when i got a fresh 3DS XL console (the old one suffered water damage, RIP)

Two new Ultra Beasts (Expansion is exclusive to Sun and Beauty is exclusive to Moon)

Interestingly, CoroCoro doesn't reveal the type of Rockruff's evo. Nothing about it makes it seem like a Rock type, but then again Rockruff doesn't exactly look like a typical Rock type either.

Almost definitely gonna be dark.

For some reason I thought the evolution method would be something new.
