Not sure if it makes a huge difference for you, but you can pick up fire punch for litten/torracat/incineroar from the move tutors as soon as you get access to Mantine surf. A direct upgrade to fire fang and a feasible no-recoil option instead of flare blitz.

True. But Probopass didn’t need sturdy. It was like a 4-6 hit KO from ultra Necrozma. And I really found Probopass to have great matchups for most of the game after evolving with pretty good coverage in power gem/flash cannon/earth power/discharge(or volt switch). Still, any steel type with a...

Probopass absolutely cheesed the poor ultra dragon diety. Toxic on first turn and never even had to heal or use stat boosts before it fainted a few turns later from toxic damage + power gems.

Did your magnemite not have sturdy? That makes a pretty big difference in its performance. Also I DID use Volcarona in my main story run through (obtaining it as soon as machamp shove was available) and it performed amazingly. If you could get to level 59 to evolve larvesta by ultra necrozma...

I think it was mostly agreed that the SOS chained mons probably weren’t going to be tiered due to how hugely inefficient they are. I had a lot of luck with my Salamence but in reality for larvesta the time taken to SOS for it (especially given that I needed to skill swap magic guard onto it so...

I did use milotic and it felt very B. It hit a little less hard than primarina but it outspeeds a decent amount of things. Also for encountering it you can save in front of bubbling spots and soft reset to get the encounter. Not sure if that’s anymore efficient than just walking in and out of...

I have a few more pokes to write up when I have time but I can say that I found roggenrola to absolutely be A (with evolution to gigalith). Mine evolved right before Kiawe and it was so solid even before that. With sturdy it even got a good hit off on araquanid before it called in help. I also...

Prankster is absolutely invaluable in USUM. Unaware is also amazing for all the totems, but I don’t think any pokes in the main game have access to it aside from perhaps sos chaining cleffa (which you’d probably have to keep as a clefairy until level 46 for moonblast anyways, missing most of the...

This is true. In SM I spent probably 4 hours SOS chaining for a Salamence after the first trial and I don’t think I even kept it for the whole game. I did however find ‘Mence to be quite the nuke. And it survived Araquanid’s Aurora Beam handily. Intimidate is such a boon in game for majority...

Haven’t posted in a bit, but I just finished my second run through of USUM and thought I’d way in on my teams: Poplio - pretty much agree with this thing’s tiering. In both playthroughs I ran around after getting tauros ride for 10 mins or so to get water/grass/fire pledge for my starter; which...

Not that it would change a ton, but Kabuto does learn Rock Tomb via TM, which you would already have from Wela Volcano Park. And you can move tutor Water Pulse, which you’ll have the Z-Crystal for already to tide you over until you get aqua jet. It’s still not terribly fast or strong until...

Don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't watched yet, so I'll just say that I was so sad to see the result of your penalty roll near the beginning of this episode. Poor poké!

Loving this series so far. It's really unique and I really like your narration style.

I was thinking more along the lines of currently unreleased type combinations. Like a hypothetical pokemon. I'm sure there are lots of zero weakness combinations if you factor in abilities like levitate, water absorb, sap sipper, volt absorb, flash fire, etc. but I am thinking more just from a...

With the addition of fairy types, are there any type-combinations left that would yield zero weaknesses? Excluding abilities of course. In addition, what type combos (aside from mono-electric, I supoose) would have just one weakness and a decent amount of resistances (excluding abilities once...

Had to go back to find my first post back in February to figure it out. I did 1300 eggs so far with a total of 5 shinies. Also 300/500 done for current pledge and no shiny so far

Alright I know I've been inactive for a bit but I've been breeding like mad. I bred another 820 eggs in total. Using a crappy 3 iv japanese kalos ditto. Egg 188 - shiny mudkip (IT HAD ALL THE WRONG IVS. Zzz) Egg 380-385 idk - shiny teddiursa Egg 820 - shiny marill. All my parents were...

Oh, well I suppose if colosseum and XD aren't considered a spin off then all I have to go on for what the spin-offs are like is Pokemon Snap. Honestly, the main series games are so different to the spin-offs, that comparing them almost seems off. They share very little aside from pokemon...

No problemo. I'll restart my white 2 when I get home from work. :) see how quick I can get a good idea of how they fair.

I'm willing to restart either my black 2 or white 2 to help get some very underused mons tiered. If you'd like to propose 3-6 mons that you genuinely aren't sure on, i should be able to run through to the e4 in a day or two and give some write ups. any suggestions?
