*comedian voice* What's the deal with Pawniard anyway? It has spikes over every inch of its body, but it doesn't even get iron barbs as an ability! What's up with that?

So, Mega Gyarados looks increadibly similar to the "Legendary Water Pokémon" Misty wanted in Kanto, and guess what Misty has now?

Oh yeah, ~~useless waste of space~~ Misty and Brock are appearing in the SM anime in a few weeks.

Considering that quad weakness to fighting, it would't do it any good.

Are filthy casuals a thing in the Pokémon CCG scene?

Eh, probably? Losing to combination of powercreep and nerfing doesn't sound all too interesting whether it's done casually or not though.

That's why I only battle the NPCS in the online game and never other players.

Why are Brock and Misty wearing their Kanto clothes in the SM anime? We know they have different clothes, so why would they need to where their Kanto stuff specifically (Other than older-fan pandering)?

Fighting's a mostly physical type though isn't it?

Everything but Focus Miss, Aura Sphere, and Vacuum Wave. But it's not really meant as a wall, unlike something like Ferrothorn. It's not really a good ability when it has Defiant.

Fair enough.

Hissy's breeding 'mons this weekend in Moon. Anyone need an Outstanding totodile, mareep, deerling, dedenne, noibat, goomy, dratini, larvesta, ralts, seedot, or have other requests? No shinies or perfect IVs, but I can try for a temperament.

210 Dexnav chained Eevees later, and not 1 has shined.

That brings the total count to 600 attempts.

The overall shiny odds are something like 1 in 1,800, right?

1/4096 in Gen 6.

However, with chaining up to 130+ you can get those chances to 1/2048.

DANGIT

Finally bred up a baby Noibat with all 6 IVs at Best. It's ability is Infiltrator instead of Frisk.
Well, he'll be good breeding stock for the next round of baby batties I guess.

On the topic of breeding obscene amounts of baby pokemons, does anyone have a "spare" Inkay or Malamar in Sun/Moon so I can start Wonder Spamming those? I think they need to be more widespread.

If you have a Gen VI game then I could trade you an Inkay, then you could send that to SM.

I don't have pokebank. And if it was possible to trade from AS to Moon I'd just do it myself.

So I am in a draft league, and my team currently consists of Weavile, Lucario, Mimikyu, Tornadus-I, Scrafty, Seismitoad, Stoutland, Charizard-Y, Starmie, and Crawdaunt. I'm considering adding Trevenant and Furfrou to that list. Thoughts?

by **Dragoria** » Sat Sep 30, 2017 9:39 am

Got another perfect IV Noibat with the wrong ability. I'm so tired. Will trade for Ability Capsule...

Here is some nice Pokémon/Legend of Zelda crossover artwork for you all.

by **Dragoria** » Thu Oct 05, 2017 7:37 am

I've got hookups with the local Gamestop. HMU if you won't be able to grab a Marshadow card and I can pick up an extra and tg you the download code.

by **Frenline Delpha** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 5:48 am

So, according to Showdown, Machop gets No Guard in gen III, but every Machop I've caught so far has had guts. Why is this?

by **Dragoria** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 1:23 pm

Draggy has extra Marshadow cards if any Sun/Moon players didn't get one yet.
