I name every Pokemon, including the breeding rejects that I bulk Wonder-Trade. I am: bad at coming up with names, so eventually I'm just launching level 1 pokemon named "Bort" and "Carl's Jr." into the internet. It's like a Pokemon shitpost.

Drunk Me once decided that it was hilarious to breed a bunch of Mareanie solely to name them all "Free Hug" (kept in a box called "Hugbox", natch) and send them off to the wonder trade ether.

I got a few Gibles and pokedex entries out of it, so officially not the worst idea I've had while drunk?

I thought the snap cut between Gladion going :mad:, Hau going :D, and the PC going :downs: after fighting Faba the second time was one of the funniest moments of the game.
I really liked the scene just before the fight. "Hey, you have the key to the president's room, don't you?" "Well, obviously, I am the incredibly important branch manager after all." "Great! We'll be taking that now. Ya know, if you'd just stayed hidden, we would've been trapped outside! Isn't that funny? :D" "...poo poo."
Faba got outsmarted by Hau. He should feel ashamed.

what are your thoughts on dealing with oranguru turn one

most people are running mental herb so taunt's out (turn one trick room turn two he outspeeds most things because hes fat as gently caress and slow), most of the normal knock offers are weak to psychic or fairy (because oranguru gets paired with lele often), he's bulky as sin:

252+ Atk Life Orb Golisopod First Impression vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Oranguru: 174-211 (88.3 - 107.1%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

my thoughts were to put golisopod and A Fast Dude up, try to First Imp and if he protects, turn two use a z move from the speedier partner, or, z-hypnosis and try to stop it that way

Oh, I got Machamp in the pager yesterday. Holy poo poo he rules. Ever since I saw him in that little scene where they show off a few of the Ride Pokemon I was wondering how he worked. The answer was amazingly. He's staying on the quick select.

Managed to snag a Gabite in a sandstorm as well. I think it might be an idea to sort out a couple of pokemon specifically for SOS Chains. I guess it'd just be False Swipe and Spore and something really high level and I've realised I am just describing my pal Parasect from AS and I could just wait until January and transfer it over.

Also i finally got my dragon tree

Nah, IVs are pretty bad on account on not having a 6IV different language Ditto. Maxed in Attack at least, but the plan was always to use bottle caps.

He's breeding these, not catching them. Capture rate doesn't matter.

That said, there's still the inherent madness of a certain craziness catching Beldum in a Beast Ball in the first place.

You're good people.

I've finally come to accept that it's okay to use the same name multiple times, since pokémon you wondertrade are never gonna meet. I've put a lot of kittens named "Rascal" and Swinubs named some version of "Snuffles," "Muffles," "Scuffles," "Truffles" or the like out there.

I didn't think about how Beldum couldn't breed with Beldum. I'm dum.

(also I didn't think about how the Masuda method wouldn't work with two inbreeding Beldums. I'm really dums.)

Mine's definitely not shiny, haha. I don't think I've ever caught a wild Shiny besides the red gyrados in Gold/Silver, which doesn't count.

In the sub 1500 "tier" of the VGC Battle Spot I haven't seen the monkey and Lele teamed up as a lead yet--is the best bet for that to switch in a different tapu first, then taunt oranguru? The poor taunter would have to eat poo poo probably but hey

the issue with taunt on oranguru is usually they're running mental herb, which cancels taunt. you'd have to taunt twice essentially

another thing would be to just kill lele, but:

252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tapu Lele: 187-221 (105.6 - 124.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

it relies on bullet punch which doesn't work in p terrain, and if you try to steel claw or w/e instead lele outspeeds you...you will kill her and she can't kill you but trick room still goes off, oranguru still has instruct, and whatever comes out after lele is just as annoying with double turns

e: maybe swapping a tapu in, bullet punching, and just relying on priority is the way to go to counter trick room

Wearer of Compasses. Slayer of Gods. Champion of the Colosseum. Heart of the Void.
Saviour of Hallownest.
In my Nuzlocke run so far I have beaten the second Kahuna and suffered three casualties.

The first was FunGoose, my Yungoose because the captain battle on the first completely blindsided me since I had nothing that could deal with Water Gun on Smeargle. This battle is what convinced me to relax my "No items in battle" rule to "No items unless they use one."

The second was Krisby, my Formantis that died to a revenge machop that oneshot it out of nowhere.

Finally was Sleepy, my event Snorlax who died to a Milktank. I'm super salty about this because the enemy Milktank used bide, I brick broke it to half HP, brick broke it again and left it on a single digit. Goddamnit you stupid Snorlax, if you'd just hit a little harder I wouldn't have had to sacrifice you you gigantic moron.

Since then I've been going pretty strong. My team is named after some discord friends so they get updates on if they evolve or die or do something interesting.
