IAVS was nothing more than a drawing prompt all along...
That's so cute!

I found a marked shiny female Salandit while hunting Shinx, so I threw together a team with both of my marked shinies, and it's been going well so far. My rank as of a couple hours ago is 2207th, which is pretty good.

hello everyone I am back Let's see... - Encounter is Salandit: normally Salandit would have been a 16% encounter rate, but because I was using Static, I think it would be cut to 8% because Static "overwrites" half the encounters into Electric-types. - Salandit is female: no Cute Charm, so 11.9%. - Salandit is shiny: I do have the shiny charm, making base odds 1/1365.3*. I also have 177 Salandit in my Pokédex, so I'm in the >100 range and have a 2% chance of getting the 1/819.2 odds. - Salandit is marked: I'm not totally confident I understand mark calculation, but I'll try. Assuming I'm reading this correctly, there was a chance of getting any mark other than the curry or fishing marks (or the Chosen One). The chance of getting this particular mark (the Stern) was (1-.002997001)(1-.029701)(1-.058808)(.058808)(1/28)=0.0019=0.19%, but the chance of getting ANY mark was 1-(1-.002997001)(1-.029701)(1-.058808)^3=0.1934=19.34%. (Edit: These are the odds with the Mark Charm, which I have.) So a marked shiny female Salandit would be (.08)(.119)((.98*1/1365.3)+(.02*1/819.2))(.1934)=0.00000136652, or 0.000136652% of my encounters on the route. This is about 1/731786. If we take for granted in the first place that it was Salandit, since it can (theoretically) be seen in the overworld (honestly, I didn't see most of the Salandit I encountered until I ran into them, because they're shorter than the grass--including this one), then the odds are increased to 0.00001708155, or 0.001708155%. This is about 1/58543. * I think I have fixed every instance of it in the post, but originally I had this as 1/1024. I always think it's 1/1024 because it's a nice round number, but it's not. I have fixed the calculations, but there might be somewhere in the post that it still says 1024 that I missed when I was changing it.

Last night, I dreamed I went to Comic-Con and saw Wednesday Shirt there. We talked for a while, and right before I left, he gave me one of his favorite books. The title was “Sherlock Holmes Gets the Hell Out of Britain.”

Thank you!
In the past couple weeks I found out about "trainer stars" in DPPt*, so I decided to get all five stars in Diamond. I've had the star for beating Cynthia for six years, but I've finally made some progress on the others...
*The stars are as follows: • Beat Cynthia • Complete the National Pokédex (minus mythicals) • Get a Platinum Flag in the Underground • Win a Master Rank contest • Reach a 100-win streak in Battle Tower singles
I found a full odds shiny Magikarp before I found a single Feebas (for the dex), so I maxed out his cuteness and got the Master Rank Ribbon star. I stole 50 flags from myself to get the flag star. I bought Sapphire so I could catch the Regis, and along the way I accidentally found a full odds shiny Shuppet at Mt. Pyre, so that was cool.
The only Pokémon I have left to catch is Solrock, which should start appearing in my SoulSilver Safari Zone on Sep 10. The last star is for a 100-win streak at the Battle Tower, which is going to be a lot; the best I've done so far is 44.
My team for the Battle Tower is: Latios, Quiet, EV trained in Sp. Atk and Speed. Leftovers, Levitate. Dragon Pulse, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Recover. Suicune, Calm, EV trained in HP and Sp. Atk. Chesto Berry, Pressure. Surf, Ice Beam, Calm Mind, Rest. Scizor, Careful, EV trained in HP and Attack. Lax Incense because I didn't have any better items. Bullet Punch, U-Turn, Night Slash, Swords Dance.

do you have to stock berries for battle tower or are they not consumed between battles
|
|

Post by tiger beetle on Aug 23, 2020 0:46:44 GMT -5
It has been.
Berries are restored at the end of each battle, along with fully restoring the Pokémon (including PP) and any items that were knocked off.
I took a break from Diamond and finally hatched a shiny dratini in Crystal!

are they really allowed to just not give us water...I don’t want to drink the water from the bathroom sink I don’t trust it to be clean...
I have 21 bottles left but to be healthy you’re supposed to drink 4-5 per day and I don’t want to use them all up

I think they technically serve water but they have a limited number of cups

So, due to how far behind I am on comics (not the furthest I've ever been, but still), this would take a while to come to fruition, but one thing I am just realizing about this whole virus is...most of my conversations for quite a while are going to take place over Zoom. I was thinking of denoting Zoom comics by making the top left corner green, like this: Thoughts?

Adderbite also approved, so unless anyone has a major objection, I think I’ll go with that.
