Those 3 are the ones left yeah. I look forward to them blindsiding me because I thought Dark Miku was definitely going to be more emo goth.

I found Bugsy in Radical Red and I got him down to like 1% on his final pokemon before he knocked me out. Scizor is a pain in the rear end when you don't have fire moves!

Anyway Steel-type Miku. Not what I was expecting but very cool anyway.

I want to bet Hitmontop for fighting, due to it being based around Capoera.

I could definitely see Noivern for Dragon. :hmmyes:.

They’re useful if you have a time/location sensitive evolution, and I guess you might as well pop them at the elite four but usually nah, not super impactful past the super earlygame.

I like saving vitamins and them up in BW, then lose to N so I can fix my dragon's moveset and stats, then pour a (literal) dozen candies down its throat and steamroll Ghetsis's ambitions

BW2 gets even sillier since there's 18 you can get before the league

A few more if you also do the Battle Subway a few times and check the lost-and-found house in Anville

(and that's not taking Join Avenue into account, where between it and Nimbasa's courts, you'll have more levels than you know what to do with)

I would love for them to get a set of convergent species, all 4 of them, I feel like that would be neat, like they're fighters but what if they were divers or climbers or something, I think there's potential there

I *guess* but I already have a shiny one from PLA. He is gorgeous.

I use Rare Candies if I wanna level someone up from the 90s to 100 or if I really want an evolution to happen or there's some special condition, but XP candies are everywhere now so they feel a bit of a waste at low levels.

Hmm, gotta wonder what it'll have. Leaf Blade/Triple Arrows for sure, Smack Down/Rock Tomb to gently caress over Fire and Flying, a Ghost/Dark move to hit Ghosts? It will need coverage so luckily he won't have Swords Dance as a main move so he can reach +6 almost instantly.

It'll certainly have Scrappy as its ability, so the coverage specifically for Ghosts isn't needed.

That being said, it wouldn't hurt to watch out for Dark moves.

Since they seem to be going through each type for 7-star Tera raids, I'm going to predict that we'll get Hisuian Typhlosion with Tera Fire, Hisuian Samurott with Tera Dark, Torterra with Tera Ground, Empoleon with Tera Steel and Infernape with Tera Electric.

I finished the Pokémon sword main story last night for the first time, good fun, but : what did the villain want exactly? It wasn’t quite clear (I was sleepy and I guess I got outsmarted by the plot of this children’s game for kids)

iirc he wanted to redo an apocalyptic disaster to replenish Dynamax energy.

basically like what if the CEO of ExxonMobil was trying to turn all of Earth’s present creatures into oil to put off a future oil supply crisis and you and Messi had to team up to stop him

also apparently they still have a millennium left of Dynamax energy, even after the first Darkest Day 3,000 years ago, so he was really overreacting.

Hmm...I've already got one of these in a fast ball with its hidden ability and an adamant nature. Like..if anybody here wants one but doesn't want to deal with the raid I'll gladly catch it for you. Not sure what this thing is going to be running but I mean I'm pretty satisfied with what I have already? I guess this going to come down to whether or not they'r going to give these guys good natures. Might be nice to catch a Hisuian Samurott ngl, but I do want a big boy and all the 7 star raids are standard sized.

The point of catching them is the mark. Now that basically every other customization aspect of a Pokémon is customizable (name, shininess, nature, IVs, ball, etc.), the marks are the last thing they can dangle in front of us and say “but you don’t have *this* one!”

And personally, I’m all for it. :colbert:
