I had setup someone with that just in case I came across a minimizer in showdown.

They didn't realize that that was a thing.


If you didn't tell me that was a redraw I would have thought it was official.

It's not that far off.

Speaking of movies, I Choose You can be bought on streaming platforms now.

No, the Kommo-o/Lurantis set is the only one that's outrageously expensive. The rest has more normal prices.

I’m compulsively buying every leather backpack so I’m equipped for every situation, otherwise everything else is pretty moderately priced

Nothing else costs half a million like the Kommo-o/Lurantis clothes but the stuff in the Fancy Shop is still 50k - 300k per item.

Sometimes you pull really lovely teams in Showdown. Sometimes you get lucky with a turn-around play. In other news, I'm a lovely trainer.

Just recently got to the Ultra Necrozma fight. Holy poo poo, that was rough. I was not expecting it to ignore Mimikyu's disguise.
Snorlax with the Crunch saved the day, though it was still close.

Now I'm trying to farm these ultra wormholes so I catch a Yveltal for my friend who has Sun.
Of course, I suck horribly and can't get past 3500 light years, even with the circle pad controls.

So like is the idea that those are the missing parts of its body? That's how it looked before the ancestral people of Ultra Megapolis broke up its body to make Z-crystals? If so its missing a LOT of mass, no wonder its agonized and in constant pain.

Nodosaur
Dec 23, 2014

The solid, non-light parts of its body, are basically refitted into the Necrozma we're familiar with. For instance, the part of "normal" Necrozma that we consider its torso is actually Ultra Necrozma's head. The poor thing didn't just loose mass, its body has been frankensteined into a completely different arrangement.

Yeah, that was my hypothesis from just Necrozma's design in Sun/Moon. Good to see them going full body-horror with it. The fun thing is if you consider it as an ethics problem fusing Necrozma with Lunala or Solgaleo is also uncomfortable, since the pokedex entries make it sound not good for Lunala or Solgaleo.

It is a way better reason for Lillie to let you take care of Nebby, though, if just being by Nebby eases Necrozma's pain. But geez, it's a real 'nobody dies in Oz' situation.

I wasted my love ball on something I wasn't adequately prepared to soft reset on but I want to use the moon ball well.

He’s to the right of the pokemon center. Also if you show someone in the gamefreak room a pokemon from VC Gold and Silver you get an extra set of apricorn balls. This only works once because gamefreak likes to watch the world burn.

What do you plan on using your moon balls on?

Well I've already caught Nebby in the heavy ball, so I'm not quite sure. Definitely one of my favorite pokemon so I can breed for it down the line, though.

Yeah breeding is a huge consideration. I’m thinking Abra for the mysticism or whatever since nidoran still can’t have its hidden ability in a moon ball!!!!!

The love ball I accidentally wasted was on an Eevee, since I was thinking about breeding, but I misunderstood how they worked. That as, that your pokemon needs to be the same species and opposite gender. They're really so niche you kind of have to treat it as a colorful normal pokeball and be prepared to soft reset.

Right now I'm focusing on finally finishing the pokedex, then I can think more about using the special balls. Eventually I'm only going to have Poipole and Naganadel left to get, that'll be fun.

It was way cooler in gen ii because it mistakenly only worked on same species, same gender pokemon.

Fast ball was funny too because it was supposed to work better on, you know, Pokemon that run from battle quickly, but instead they only have the effect on Magnemite, Grimer and Tangela.

Too bad there aren't any roaming legendaries. I'd have tried to get Tapu Koko into a fast ball if I had the patience, though, it matches him perfectly.

You should, the Apricorn Balls got changed in HGSS to actually work, in the case of the Love Ball and the Moon Ball and to be more general, as the Fast Ball has a 4x catch rate on any Pokemon above 100 base Speed.

Lure Balls even got boosted to 5x catch rate in Gen 7, making it better than a Dive Ball for fishing encounters.
