Pokémon Games Discussion Thread (Gotta Discuss 'Em All!)

[Blitz24]

@Storm_SP17 Got myself a Snow Warning Vulpix, it's a female so I can breed you one with any egg move you want if you want .

Does anyone have the Ice Stone that doesn't need it, I need another one since I already used my Ice Stone on my Sandshrew and there is only 1 Ice Stone per game.

Definitely not one per game. I have about 7 of them.

I wasn't paying attention to the Pelago when I said that

Speaking of Pelago, I now have 20 Eevee that are bold. Anyone want one?

Another thing I noticed is through the IV Judge, I have 4 Pokemon considered "perfect".

1 of them was a hacked Pokemon gotten through GTS, another is a Mudbray that, wait for it, has perfect IVs in everything EXCEPT for Attack. A third is an Umbreon with a horrible nature, and a fourth I believe is a Salandit.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Really needed to wait until end game to breed my mons... over 60 hrs played and not yet ascended to the Pokémon League.

I'm spending most of my time just waiting for my Pokemon to be EV trained at Poke Pelago

Currently working on my HA Alolan Vulpix, the plan is to have this movest:

Aurora Veil
Grudge
Blizzard (usually would run Ice Beam but since Blizzard always hits while in hail, I can't say no).
Dazzling Gleam

My idea for my Alolan Ninetales is to set up the Aurora Veil and then either deal as much damage as possible with Blizzard + Dazzling Gleam, or use Grudge and cut out an opponents move entirely.

I still need to think of a held item to use mostly. Maybe Focus Sash?

 

[Storm_SP17]

Seems solid, Focus Sash would look like the way to go with Ninetales too. I was going to run the same kind of set, though I'm guessing your EV spread is SpA and Spe? I'll probably run HP and Speed for a bit of a change and use one of the 50% Berries or Leftovers.

I'm tempted to give my Espeon a nickname due to the fact she pulled a solid against a lv. 47 Absol just now. Survived a Crit Psycho Cut with 1 HP left and she's only Lv. 22

Yeah, Ninetales just seems a bit to fragile, even with Aurora Veil on which can be better used to prptect other Pokemon like my Walrein.

Ninetales is pretty fragile, I mean I used my HP and Def invested Decidueye and even still there are some hits I get a wee bit worried about.

I've been pondering the idea of a Feather Dance Decidueye:
Adamant @ Wiki Berry, 252 HP & SpD
Spirit Shackle
Low Sweep
Feather Dance
Roost

Come in on something it walls, get off a SS, LS or FD on something that might switch in and whittle it down. My original idea was a Sword Dance set but with speed or defence investments, but the utility of running this set and having something that can be switched in once a trapped foe has become less threatening seems like a decent niche. I could even run Careful nature and invest into Defence...

 

[Com Fox]

In my opinion the Battle Facilities should be exactly like we play online. Bring 6 Pokemon and pick 4 (or 3 in singles and 2 in multi)

Would be more fair if we were allowed to do this and would help people actually prepare for VGC because that's how they're run instead of you stuck with whatever your team was in what order you assigned them whie your opponent chooses Pokemon depending on your team.

I got my dad Moon for Christmas. I came down this morning to find him trying to figure out how to battle Hau for the first time.

His biggest gripe was the cutscene immediately after because he wanted to save and get to work.

He also gave his male Popplio our female dog's nickname.

 

[TripleA5]

That would be great . My FC is 1203-9350-6669. My name in-game is Gao and usernam is X .

Sorry it took so long but my 3DS did not want to connect to the internet yesterday . Added you and my FC is

0302-1152-3389 with in-game name Adrian.

 

[Com Fox]

Just added you, willing to do it at any time

Ok, im on now. So whenever you are ready we can trade.

 

[Com Fox]

I'm about to go on

 

[Com Fox]

My Walrein appears to be a massive PP Staller, this match took

125 Turns!!!

EP5G-WWWW-WWW3-JD3E

 

[Storm_SP17]

How... just how...? lol

 

[Com Fox]

It's what would've happened when Metapod vs. Metapod in the anime didn't get interrupted

 

[Storm_SP17]

I'm only a 1/4 through and jeeez! try wallbreaking that mother!

 

[Com Fox]

I did make a few misplays, I really should've waited until HP was low enough to use Rest, instead when I can.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Yeah your opponent lacked a raw attacker/booster with a High Crit move... either that or a phazer.

 

[Com Fox]

I actually totally forgot I switched out Ninetales at that point and thought Bronzong K.O'd it due to how long Walrein was out and Metagross I felt was to risky to switch into

I only remembered I still had Ninetales at the very end .

 

[Storm_SP17]

Vaporeon used Helping Hand... but it failed...
Ninetales used Auora Veil... but it failed..

LOLZZZ!!!

 

[Com Fox]

At that point I decided to just tease for banter since Vaporean only had Helping Hand and was only going kill itself with struggle anyway

 

[Storm_SP17]

Oh my gosh! The Elite 4 here are super tough... my Pokémon were at 49 and 50 aside from my Vikavolt (55) and Decidueye (57) ... I even had an Espeon at level 32 or 34 thrown in for Exp. but man... this is intense.

No kidding. Even my competitive UBs have trouble with them at level 75.

Yup, well let's just say I got my butt handed nicely to me in that fight...

I didn't get the Crit Stone Edge on Braviary which allowed it the chance to use Tailwind... blew pretty much all my team away with the Incineroar that followed.

 

[Com Fox]

Really? With the exception to the Flying Elite Four I found them really easy.

Really? With the exception to the Flying Elite Four I found them really easy.

I had a Lv. 59 and 57, the rest were 53 and one Lv. 42 Espeon... I found it pretty hard. I actually nearly wiped because of Fighting Elite Four's Crabominable. Lost 3 of the 4 Max Revives I had on me in that one fight alone.

I now have a Lv. 67 Decidueye, thanks to 7 rare candies and a Level Up via Exp. Share. The others will follow suit, I'm just thinking if it's a good idea to have them in the Pelago overnight while I sleep.

 

[Com Fox]

With my levelling OCD I had them all at 55 when I faced the Elite Four but only needed 2 for each fight (except Flying, seriously 🤬 her).

Mine started at about 6 levels lower than that... ended up gaining 4 levels from the whole ordeal aside from the Vikavolt and Decidueye, who gained only 2 levels...

Yeah she was the 2nd to last one I fought... kinda see why you get triggered by her.
