I decided to try some breeding and a 6IV Mareep hatches! Shame it's female and so can't give those stats to anything but Mareeps.

But now you can use her to breed a strong boy to do weird interspecies breeding that shouldn't be thought about.


Ugh, I never bothered with happiness before and my Azurill is level 19 before the second gym. Time to run in circles on route 3 forever since she's currently the second strongest member of the Blue Squad and I'd like aqua tail instead of bubble beam.

Can the Eon Ticket in ORAS be obtained through online StreetPass or not? And if so, how does it work? I’ve tried googling this but there’s a lot of conflicting information.

It's sent through the streetpass application. I don't know about the different homebrew methods but heading to an anime convention for a day usually results in getting it.

Well yeah man, that much is a given. Our player character is just some obscenely strong rando who hovers on the edge of the actual plot smiling blankly at the proceedings.

OR has some really nice QoL stuff for fine-tuning Pokémon. DexNav for rooting them out and getting HAs and egg moves. An infinite biking loop next to the hatchery and IV judge. Blissey Bases for incredible leveling speed. Secret Pals to toss out free chunks of EVs every day. Outside of the odd Friend Safari for things that can't spawn in OR I really don't even look at my X game now that I beat it. I hope we get equal niceties in Sword/Shield.

Friends, I have URGENT NEWS

As we all know, in Let's Go Eevee you can pet your little Eevee and make her go brrrrrrrrrr and say YEA BOI and get powerful abilities. You can also flick her little ears and tail and they go *sproing*

But DID YOU KNOW you can also pinch her little cheeks!! You can! It's true! I'm doing it right now!!!

Oh my god the Food Court Triple Battles are such horseshit. You need to beat all 8 trainers in one turn for the best reward and they do stuff like this:

- Lilligant with Teeter Dance, which confuses all your Pokemon(except her two Lilckilicky team members with Own Tempo) and if any of them miss you've probably lost since Lickilicky is pretty tanky.

- A Triple intimidate team with more tanky Pokemon. Hope you don't rely on physical attackers!

- Triple Whimsicott with Wide Lens(increases accuracy) and Stun Spore.

- And I haven't actually gotten to this part yet, but the final guy's team all have King's Rocks(10% chance to flinch you)

They're only level 65(final trainer is 75) but I feel like this must be balanced around the player having a level 100 team. Maybe my team just happens to be ill-suited for this. I guess I should probably just use legendaries or properly EV train my team.

The thing with Cosmoem (and Celesteela's) weight is they're at 999.99 in the dex. Is that their weight or have they just exceeded the display?

Cosmoem could be 100 000kg for all we know.

I’m convinced that actual scales just don’t exist in the Pokemon world, so the numbers in the Pokédex are as made up by the ten-year-olds who write the entries. Just like all that gibberish like Grimer coming to life from X-rays from the moon and the like.

Mina's a wandering artist, so it makes sense that she shows up once and then vanishes off the face of the planet

That, and there's no Trial Captains in the anime, so she's made even less relevant, which is disappointing - everyone was hoping she'd give Lillie a Fairy-Z so Shiron isn't just an arm-warmer, but they slapped an Ice-Z on her, forgot about it for 50 episodes then decided "Whoops, it's League time, better give everyone a Z-Ring so they can compete in something none of them are suited for or have ever shown interest in"

2 and Z are among the 16 Pokemon (not counting alternate forms) that have appeared in movies and specials but not in episodes: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_anime_debut

Only one Pokemon hasn't appeared in the anime at all: Melmetal.

The other 14 movie/special only Pokemon are a bunch of Legendaries/Mythicals (especially from Gens V and VI), plus Klang for some reason.

You're still about to enter year 3 of SM. Lets just say that when they announce the league in-show, some wacky power ups start showing up for everyone that's not named Ash.

And Ash may or may not get a power up thanks to time travel. TR's roster looks like they may legit get in the League and kick rear end for a few rounds, even.

I wouldn't say they forgot about her Z-move, it's more that battling is mostly irrelevant in this season of the anime, so now that it's going to become somewhat important, battle stuff gets brought to the front. But fishing is more important.

The Ride Pokemon belong to the Aether Foundation though, and renting them for the League would be a tad unfair, don't you think? Especially with the mythicals swarming around
They're also horrifically terrible fighters

Still, if it means Ash gets to be somebody's Tobias or Alain, who am I to deny the anime its schadenfreude?

Hey RatHat, check the Pokemon Trading Thread. I'm going to post a list of the things I have to see to complete my Hoenn Pokedex. You post a list too. Then we can figure out how to help each other get 100% seen and score Oval Charms. I will be at home and online in OR in a few hours.
