I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.


Just beat it with Saul, Ralph, Penelope, Jasmine, Sandy, and Wilma. Salazzle held her own and was easily MVP. Last battle was tense against Incineroar, it was down to 1v1. Raichu pulled it off though with her last Thunderbolt.

E: To those who want a destiny knot: take your time. I'll be available for about 6 hours so don't worry about missing chances. I can also give you one on another day if something doesn't work out.

I will be putting them on Castform / Vanillite.

Why would they do that? It looks really really bad imo

One extremely good reason to force outlines off is that there is incredibly significant framerate gains from not rendering them.

e: Doubles? Battle Royal? As long as the AI is done deciding on its next move, there's negligible framerate loss in them with outlines off.

I found a Shiny Oricorio while leveling up mons to fill out the Pokedex. Still the rudest bird when it comes to capture rates and had to settle on a Repeat Ball instead of something cool. I'm tempted to used this on my team for shits and giggles. What's the best type?

Subjectively, the Baile form is the best. The spinning and stomps it does makes the moves looks so much cooler. Like with airslash, it spins while the slashes fly out. Objectively, its probably not the best typing though with 4x rock weakness.

I've got an incredibly stupid question.

When I first got the game, my bestie specifically warned me not to use Wonder Trade because "it's just a bunch of hacked Pokemon and it'll get worse as time goes on."

Later that day I believe I heard or read somewhere (this is definitely third-hand knowledge and I can't find anything concrete confirming it) that there is a very serious penalty for having a hacked Pokemon on your save file - specifically I heard that attempting to save in a Pokemon Center while hacked Pokemon are present in data permanently freezes your game and keeps the cartridge from booting up again. Naturally, this has made me nervous and afraid to use Wonder Trade or even the GTS.

Is this just a load of crap that I heard and took for reality? Wonder Trade was one of my favorite things about XY, and I remember it gave me a great way to give away 4IV/etc. runts of the few Pokemon that I actually tried to breed to be competitive-ready. GTS would be fun to use, too. Sorry for this ignorance but thank you in advance.

That's not having hacked pokemon, that's using the tool one uses to make hacked pokemon.

There's no punishment for having hacked pokémon, since, as you said, it's entirely possible to obtain them through no fault or knowledge of your own. The game might decide that there's something fishy about them, but at worst it means you can't use them for online battles and such.

I don't think any part of that is true other than the part about getting hacked stuff on wonder trade

There was a glitch people were talking about when you saved but it wasn't because of getting hacked Pokémon from wonder trade.

Nah. There was a bug with a hacking tool that was loving with its user's saves, but that has nothing to do with any pokemon you may get from wonder trade.

continuing my New Team Every Day plan to throw as much garbage at this meta and see what sticks. today, a garbage trick room team!

alolan persian is seriously carrying every lovely team i put him on, it's insane. Dark-Z w/ Taunt / Foul Play / Parting Shot / [filler] gives it a ton of utility and it can revenge kill some stupid stuff with STAB foul play. my current set has Sunny Day as the filler specifically so i can switch him in on Pelippers and use it when they switch in to Kingdra since i'm pretty sure that mon 6:0s every team i make.

unfortunately all of these are forfeits but w/e. i had one single full game this afternoon but it wasnt great so i didnt think to save it because like, i didnt think it'd be such a rarity

The tents are great if you like having dumb Plaza messages, including Would you like to use cut? and various Pokemon noises(my Unova tent gave me Bazzazzash!, which is apparently how BW wrote out Zekrom's cry).

Always put the extra point in speed, unless it's already maxed. HP otherwise.

I dunno what you do with the final point with an hp/speed mon but on the other hand I can't imagine a build that would want that
