    Awful. Just awful. The days when being a shiny also meant being pretty weak in everything.

    I got a shiny Exeggcute in Silver a while back. My original Gold save was lost to battery failure back in high school and I legit can't remember if I had any shinies.

    I never had a shiny until I got a shiny Mawile while breeding in Black 2. And then later I got a shiny Zubat while EV training in Moon.

    I kind of like it. "This Pokemon isn't very good in battle but it's special in its own way" is a very Pokemon concept.

    Guess who sent an Alolan Rattata with just 20 hp left against a Cutifly who knew Struggle Bug?

    RIP Chevron the Rattata.


    But DreadZepplin the Drifloon stomped Hala into the dirt since he only has one Pokemon that can hit ghosts.

    Baby Pokemon are special in no way

    The Gen 2 ones are fine because they're introducing the Pokemon lifecycle, such as it is, but I really don't like the gen 3 and 4 backfills

    Babies are good, and if you don't like these sweet boys I don't know what to tell you.

    Does Togepi really count as a Baby? It wasn't added in later like Munclax and Bonsly were.

    Neither was Riolu, that's not part of the definition. If an unevolved pokemon can't breed, but it evolves into a pokemon that can breed, it's a baby.

    Yes, when its added has no bearing on whether it's a baby.

    They did the plot again because their target audience wasn't born when they did it the first time.

    No. It doesn't have EVs, so pokerus would be useless.

    So the whole AVs thing is not just a rename for EV its a different thing entirely?

    Invest Nintendo-money in next generation tall grass-technology to have pokemon run around the map and hard to identify.

    I JUST CAUGHT A SHINY CHARMANDER IN GO WHICH MEANS I CAN TRANSFER IT TO LETS GO WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY WORK WITH THE NEXT MAIN POKEMON GAME

    A LEGITIMATELY ACQUIRED SHINY CHARIZARD

    MY FAVORITE POKEMON

    AAAAAAAHHH

    Oh hey, since I'd caught a Rattata, Wingull, and Slowpoke in my Ultra Moon Nuzlocke, guess who became a guaranteed capture?

    Bagon in Kala'e Bay.


    Currently sitting at Torracat, Magnemite, Slowpoke, Sylveon, Bagon, and Drifloon, trying to prepare for that scary as hell Totem Araquanid.

    Nope, only the other way around

    In happy news, I caught a pinsir finally!

    And I caught a shiny bulbasaur in Go. Wondering if I should transfer that over?

    No, but there is this
    Serebii wrote:
    There is some connectivity with Pokémon Let's Go into Pokémon GO. Through the game, you'll have the ability to send a special Mystery Box to Pokémon GO. To do this, you have to connect your Pokémon GO game to a Pokémon Let's Go game and you'll automatically be sent the Mystery Box. When it is open, for 30 minutes you will have the opportunity to capture up to 10 Meltan. Meltan can also be sent to Let's Go

    This box can be reopened after a week once another Pokémon has been sent to Pokémon Let's Go. After this time, to reopen it, you need to send a Pokémon back to a Pokémon Let's Go game.

    This connectivity is required to get more than 1 Meltan and Melmetal in Pokémon Let's Go.

    They managed for the Gen 1 e-shop releases through Bank, plus they obviously want people who jumped (back) on board with Let's Go to get next year's game; being able to transfer to them is a significant selling point.

    That's from Serebii. 1in 273 when you have a combo of 31+, a lure, and a shiny charm. That's pretty good.

    Totem Araquanid is friggin scary in Nuzlockes. If I didn't have Sylveon to tank via Light Screen and Draining Kiss, someone was bound to die fighting it. Leech Life would have killed Slowpoke, Bubble Torracat, Bite Drifloon, Aurora Beam Bagon, and even Magnemite would just get cheese gratered since it has that Electric- resist berry.

    So I’ve been playing Pokémon Go again since I’ve been holding off on Let’s Go, I’m still not sure I ever want to try raiding but yet I want that Mew so...

    I’ve also caught my first two shinies in less than a week, a Murkrow and a Beldum! I can’t remember if I have a shiny in any of the main games.

    If anyone wants to be friends I’ve got some gifts collecting dust. My code is 3676 7510 2939

    Edit: make that two shiny Beldums WTF.

    Hey poke-people

    I'm playing Let's Go and I have an adorable Alolan Sandshrew

    I don't think I want it to evolve into a Sandslash, since that's not as cute

    Is there a good reason for me to evolve it anyway?

    Go is having Community Event: Revengeance now, so all the Pokes that had events this year are showing up and have higher shiny rates for this weekend. I just got a pink Dratini.
