    Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    From what I've seen and cared about so far, it's not that you're forbidden from talking about competitive relevance of pokemon (be it Smogon or VGC related), rather, that is not the focus of this board. If you're asking someone about a pokemon they like, and they like it because it's good...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Fwiw for Charizard if you want to no-effort faceroll it (even solo), I remind that AV Sylveon / Flutter Mane with tera fairy + moonblast and draining kiss more or less stomps it without even trying (bar some very bad turn 1 crit shenenigans). Will be even easier if you end up rolling some...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    You must be unfamiliar with raids that have boosts in their "regular moveset". TLDR: they can use it on other player's turn, including AI's. Mewtwo and Iron Leaves had similar scenarios where they'd be at +6 within a single turn with nothing you could do about it.

    Very small correction, you can acquire Alolan Rattata in Let's Go directly, there's a few traders that give you alolan forms of regular mons if you provide them the kantonian version.

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Sir if GameFreaks had ever been actually proactive in the way they design their games to avoid bloat, not only we'd never have had the Dexit shitshow (because full portability would have never happened in first place), but 99% of the problems the games have by now wouldn't exist. You can hope...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Of all the ones I listed i'd expect either Dragon or Dark to be the one missing then. Aura Sphere kinda rounds up the coverage against Steel types (prevents from being walled by Water/Steel, Dragon/Steel and Grass/Steel) whereas those 2 don't really add much. Small caveaut: Clear Smog is not a...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Reasonably speaking, Blastoise is something I expect with Water move / Aura Sphere / Dragon Pulse / Dark Pulse (basically mega blastoise at home), with a very likely scripted Rain Dance (to use Rain Dish) and then a potential Water Spout or Shell Smash (possibly with a debuff wipe to go with...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    It's most likely to cancel a potential Rain Dance (since Blastoise HA is Rain Dish so it's very likely to have it) while also neutering its fire moves. Nothing special.

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    The worst part of all of this is that I can unironically see something conceptually similar to this happening. In the end isn't that basically what's going on with the Terarium? "Hey there's this mysterious energy we found out in the middle of a super dangerous place, let's replicate it in our...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Well there's honestly not much to TLDR of a 1 minute teaser with just a namedrop and very short bits of non-gameplay rendered scenes of pokemon walking in a ipotetical Lumiose, with the Megaevolution logo flashed at the end. But suit yourself anyway

    Sir as much as we'd want this, I have to warn you that excessive amounts of copium can be lethal

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Because there are still japanese companies that don't do simultaneous releases (I'm looking at you Falcom :zonger: give me my YS X) so some publishers still rather reassure their western audience. Don't read too much into it.

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Considering it specifically talks of a rerun, doubt it. It was pretty easy due to having exclusively special attacks & having a scripted stat drop reset at start, meaning that any bulky enough fairy type could outlast it by just spamming Draining Kiss, and if someone spammed stuff like Snarl...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Real question is how big of a brain is it to skill swap Stall instead assuming you can tank the sun boosted hit turn 1 (Honestly probably not that big considering people tend to EV to outspeed, but a funny thing I need to try at some point)

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    I was actually thonking of a different thing there: Pelipper @ Shell Bell Ability: Rain Dish Tera Type: Water EVs: 200 HP / 252 SpA / 56 Spe (enough to outspeed Modest venusaur) Timid Nature - Hurricane - Stockpile - Weather Ball - Rain Dance Though then again this hurts more...

    February - March 7* Raids: Tera Ground Venusaur, Tera Steel Blastoise, and Tera Dragon Charizard

    Venusaur's moveset honestly feels pretty obvious to guess Stab + Stab (i sure as hell hope no Giga Drain tho), Tera Blast / Earth Power the question now is "Weather Ball + Sun?" and answer is very likely yes cause Clorophyl is it's HA. Pelipper questionmark?

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

    But not into the 100 miscellaneous pokeballs available in the main games. Though personally I am a fan of just Pokeball for voltorb itself, but the other hisuians have different colors and are you a real person if you're not catching pokemon in pokeballs that match their color?

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

    This will also let people catch hisuians in non ancient balls which is nice for ball-matching addicts like me. We take it.

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    Covid has a lot to do with it, many games that were in development during that time had to slow down significantly due to companies needing to move to working from home, and Japan was no exception. Whatever their release schedule was, it definitely took a hit. Though, I could give you that they...
