newest update on Platinum: Axel died to a critical Brave Bird from a Staraptor during a Double Battle on Victory Road
so I added a Sneasel (Clueless) to my team and leveled him until he learned Ice Shard before evolving him
currently still grinding up for Cynthia, but I did the rival battle with no casualties

at the doors of the Elite Four...scared to face the level 66 Garchomp but too lazy to grind any more... team: Mara, Garchomp level 60, Careful, Sand Veil; Soft Sand (Crunch, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Rock Climb) Cocoa, Azumarill level 61, Sassy, Thick Fat; NeverMeltIce (Strength, Brick Break, Ice Beam, Surf) Clueless, Weavile level 60, Brave, Pressure; Icicle Plate (Night Slash, Ice Punch, Thief, Ice Shard) Ivan, Torterra level 60, Careful, Overgrow; Amulet Coin (Crunch, Wood Hammer, Earthquake, Rock Smash) Taruca, Lucario level 60, Jolly, Steadfast; Fist Plate (ExtremeSpeed, Rock Slide, Magnet Rise, Close Combat) Minkar, Espeon level 58, Docile, Synchronize; Exp. Share (Shadow Ball, Future Sight, Psybeam, Quick Attack) I think we can do this... update!!! first of all, the Garchomp was only level 62!?
that said...
Minkar got a low roll with Shadow Ball on the Gallade while below half health (I thought he could kill it based on previous Shadow Ball damage) and died to a Leaf Blade at level 59
Ivan (level 60 still) was hit with a critical Ice Beam from Cynthia's Milotic because I forgot Milotic was fast
Clueless and Mara were landing crits left and right...thanks guys death count total deaths: 7
deaths from crits: 5 deaths in trainer battles: 6 deaths during League: 2 deaths of happiness evolutions: 3
3 of the dead were Flying types and 2 specifically Normal/Flying types (Electric, Normal/Flying, Poison/Flying, Water, Normal/Flying, Psychic, Grass/Ground)

There just hasn't been a lot of Pokemon-related stuff to talk about. :c (Or maybe there is. I haven't been super into Pokemon lately.)
Uh. How about that Marshadow? I don't like its design tbh.

I know nothing about it but Marshadow is pretty cute. Doesn't really look like a Pokemon (imo) but I still love it.
I'm contemplating a nuzlocke. I've only ever done one and it ended in disaster (Pokemon blaze black randomizer.). I'm half tempted to do Pokemon Clover (4chans hack. 4chan is awful but it looks fun tbh) or another hack. Anyone know of any good ones?

yeah...I'm not a fan of Marshadow
I threw together a team of six Sinnoh Pokémon and beat my friend, but it helps that I'm pretty sure she was using an ingame team that wasn't holding items...she ended up doing things like sending her Salazzle in to fight my Lucario which was Choice Scarfed into Earthquake, so who knows how the battle would have gone if we'd been using the same sort of teams
edit: Glazed looks good but might be better to save for later because it also looks tough; beyond that I know SacredGold/StormSilver are supposed to be fun...I feel like I knew more at one point but I'm not sure now

It sort of looks like one of the mascots from Yo-kai Watch.
No, sorry. I've never played any hacks.

I love marshadows design I'm glad it doesn't look so fairy-like compared to so many other mythical mons. Probably my favorite gen 7 pokemon.
*is guilty of hacking it into my game months prior*

It still looks pretty cutesy to me, albeit slightly ominous. I've never been a fan of Mew, Celebi, etc.

Yeah, plus it's typing and stats are pretty great. Ghost/fighting is so cool. it's gonna get banned off the jump.
I versed it a few times in random battles, it was so frustrating there really is nothing you can switch into it. ;;;;

It's signature move gives it too much power.

I judge Pokemon 100% by their designs since I'm not into competitive (or even casual) battling.

I'm gonna have to say Incineroar (although I prefer Popplio over Litten, but only by a little).

Post by Showers on Apr 12, 2017 6:31:22 GMT -5
Same popplio my fave first evo by far but decidueye stole my heart.

Post by Pantherstar on Apr 12, 2017 6:35:13 GMT -5
I'm not really fond of any of Rowlet's stages. They're not bad Pokemon; just not my cup of tea. Why did Popplio have to let us down. T_T I was hoping it would evolve into a terrifying clown monster, like some people speculated.

Post by Showers on Apr 12, 2017 6:45:27 GMT -5
Decidueye actually does suck ngl. Only like it for its design and lore.
GOD the evil clown design made me so sick I was so afraid for popplio.
I like that brionne and primarina are feminine, seeing weirdos soft reset for a female is funny

Post by tiger beetle on Apr 12, 2017 8:55:14 GMT -5
Primarina is still my favorite of the gen 7 starters, but Incineroar has grown on me...Decidueye is okay

the Battle Royal part of the Battle Spot has just enough people to find matches while also being desolate enough that if you play two matches in a row there's a good chance in the second match you'll be facing at least one of the people from the previous battle again
my team isn't great but it's not that bad (Assault Vest Luxray, Life Orb Garchomp, Choice Band Floatzel, Choice Scarf Lucario, Focus Sash Misdreavus, Leftovers Togekiss)
note: Togekiss always either dies immediately or gets 2+ kills

It's funny that legendaries aren't allowed to complete but one of the trainers has raikou

Post by tiger beetle on Apr 15, 2017 16:15:30 GMT -5
"Special Pokémon" is event-only Pokémon and "main" legendaries but not necessarily all legendaries
so for example, Mew and Mewtwo are banned, and Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Celebi are banned, but the bird trio, the beast trio, and the Latis are allowed

Kotaro
My favorite game is minecraft pocket edition :)

Decidueye is actually very useful in game. It has a wide movepool and decent offenses. its just not very good from a competitive standpoint.
|
|
|
Post by Showers on Apr 15, 2017 21:07:32 GMT -5
It's also weak to dark and poison with is very common in trainer battles and mine was unusually slow and weak. It was so annoying to use. I had more fun using charjabug+eviolite more than decidueye.

Post by tiger beetle on Apr 15, 2017 22:28:13 GMT -5
Decidueye isn't weak to Poison (Ghost resists, so Poison is neutral), but I do agree that it's underwhelming
it does have its use, though; mine was vital during the rematch with my friend (I destroyed her with the Sinnoh team so I used a different team), specifically against her Slowbro and Lunala (which, uh, it outsped because hers weren't EV trained; otherwise I would have lost, because it was down to Decidueye and Lunala as the last ones standing...but even so! Alnilam came in handy)
update: started a B2 Nuzlocke lost my Tepig to the Lillipup in the first gym (Tackle) lost my Lillipup to my encounter Venipede (Rollout) lost my Patrat to a trainer's Dunsparce (Rollout) lost my Venipede to the same Dunsparce (Rollout) that was fast
