Annihilape is pretty good for Typhlosion. Screech turn 1 then spam rage fist.
It took me a few tries, it depends on when the shield comes up. I did Adamant, +Atk, +HP on my ape with Tera Water and it was 6-7 tries to get it right.

Yeah Annihilape works but it's super super unreliable IMO. I did it first try but only probably because he got stunned by NPC paralyze two turns in a row (like if he had killed me another time I probably would have failed). He puts out so much friggin damage that the bar depletes *quickly* with all the deaths
Weird, worked for me solo first try both times, +hp +atk, adamant, ghost tera. I wonder if there's a better option, maybe a skill swap guy that can steal his flash fire to negate the sunny day eruptions
Watching the first episodes of Pokemon Horizons. I didn't really keep up with the original show, but this one already feels wayyy different than what I remembered of it when I did watch it. Also, it surprisngly starts in Kanto in Viridian City, with the main character being from Paldea.

I have hatched so many god damn Masuda Smolivs with zero shinies. >_< Why you hate me game?
Also Pokemon Company, where's this Home integration you promised? I'm honestly hatching this stuff to send to an alt account for like a special challenge run (all food team gooooooo) but I can't even get them there without Home thanks to Switch accounts not sharing online access -_- (I also might legit give up on trying for a shiny Bounsweet and use the level 8 one my friend traded me awhile back... it's low-ISH enough level to not be OP.. still would prefer all level 1s tho :P)
Can't read at work but I guess there was some bug with these? Either way they seem like they're coming back in a little over a week if you missed them.

Masuda method, why have you forsaken me? T__T (I have hatched so many god damn eggs... ugg.. did they shiny lock Smoliv when I wasn't looking? )
Oh also, Mightiest Mark Inteleon coming soon (ice tera type). Woo. These raids are always fun.
Edit: Looking at Inteleon's gen 9 learnset this fight could be super nasty. He has lots of ways to buff his defense, high crit options, 100% accurate Blizzard with snow, Mist to prevent status changes (or Haze to reset them... I guess the raid bosses can do this anyways), etc. Would not be surprised if this fight is tuned around not being able to buff and debuff (as is the strat for like every tera raid). Fell Stinger could be a particularly nasty one if you have CPU allies. Also TIL they buffed Hail in gen 9 (which is to say, replaced it). It's now "Snow" and rather than doing chip damage every turn it raises Ice types Defense by 50%!
Edit 2: Oh also, forgot about this thing I saw over the weekend:
So the 7-Star Inteleon event is out this week and it's actually pretty easy?
Joined a group online with a Perrserker with Iron Head, Sunny Day, and Taunt to stop it's Snowscape and we had a team of Iron Hands, Kingambit, and a Golduck and it went down pretty easy. We had about half the timer left when we beat it, only died once when it hit me with 3 Blizzards in a row
I also saw someone with a Tinkaton strategy but I didn't have one trained and didn't feel like doing it today.

I did it solo with an Annihilape with Sunny Day, Rage Fist, and Defiant. It was easy, but required a bit of RNG.
Man, I just got hit a series-spanning case of the Mandela Effect (or maybe it's just TIL). I was watching a streamer play a Heart Gold/Soul Silver randomizer*, and their Pokemon got hit with a move called Trump Card. And I realized that I've never heard of Trump Card. Now, of course there are gaps in my knowledge-- I don't play the games as fanatically as I did when I was younger, but the stuff I don't know is like, sometimes I'll space on the name of one of the new Pokemon while remembering what it looks like and what type it is, or the signature move of one of the optional pseudolegendaries or whatever. Not a move that existed in Gen 4! But, there it is. There was a move called Trump Card that existed from Gen 4 to Gen 7. Its effect is that it has 5 PP, and its damage scales geometrically as the number of PP left after using it approaches 0, with the maximum being 200 BP when you use its last PP.
It just feels deeply weird to have played Pokemon since Red, Blue, and Yellow, and have no memory whatsoever of an element from halfway through that span.
* A habit I am trying to break.

There’s probably a LOT of moves you don’t know exist. Primarily because they’re dogshit.

The difference in quality is nuts. God dammit Nintendo Power, why did you bastardize these? :P
