  1. Okay so I was just going around catching all sorts of Pokemon and when I obtained Spiritomb, I noticed it had the move Foul Play, an Egg Move. I soft reset once and saw it had Shadow Sneak, which would certainly have been forgotten by that level (40) if it was not an egg move (as it's one of its starting moves) so Spiritomb is confirmed to have egg moves added now.
  2. I was going through Ameritine (pre-Agate bit) today trying to find an Odd Keystone and I thought to myself, "I'm not stopping this mining session until I find an Odd Keystone." Ding. The next little pixelited bit of rock I hit with my hammer had an Odd Keystone. 3spook5me

      This is my destiny. Brb, stating Odd Keystone Cult.

  3. Wow Ame just uploaded three episodes of her Platinum Nuzlocke within like 5 hours. What changed?

  4. Why do I keep getting RU in Battle Factory? I'm not saying Ru is bad, but it's certainly my worst tier.

      Maybe it time to learn ye some RU. What is Battle Factory anyway?

      I can play RU, it's just my worst tier because while I know most of the pokemon and their strengths, I'm not experienced with them. Battle Factory is a little system where Showdown picks a tier from NU to Ubers and gives you a decent team for that tier and you play with it.

  5. I've been playing a ton of Battle Factory lately, so I'll probably post some replays of that here. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlefactory-245442769 This was a short one because my opponent was foolish. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlefactory-245444826 That was a fire weak team wow http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlefactory-245474990 Some people cannot be made to see reason. I calced it and the crit only barely mattered. He would have died next turn to whatever I did.
  6. July begins tomorrow and I still have yet to get around to episode 15.... I should probably get on that

  7. The one problem I see with this team is the fact that 5/6 of your members are entirely Specially Attacking. once Weavile goes down, a strong special wall, say, Chansey, can slowly tear through your team. I'd suggest switching one of your members out for another Physical Attacker. I'd personally suggest removing Latias and putting an Excadrill in its place as this will be able to provide valuable Ground coverage, kill opposing Fairies, and also remove the hazards which would quickly wear down Weavile and Thundurus.
  8. Is the CRIT stat on the standing thread crits dealt, crits received, or both?
  9. I'm going to go try to make some teams that are unique and not trash lol

  10. Week I Sapphire Division AuthorReborn vs. Kookies (Kokkis) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/reborn-ou-24242 (Score: 3-0) Good game. That was a fun battle and hopefully all the others will be as well!
  11. LC is dominated completely mostly by physical attackers bar a few exceptions (such as Abra and Gastly), so Lava Plume is always a far superior move in comparison to Flamethrower or Fire Blast due to the high burn chance allowing you to cripple most threats and/or walls.
  12. There are viable situations to use Common Candies in. One, if you use traded Pokemon, such as the powerful Braveheart the Litleo (pre-15), it is quite easy for them to over level due to their XP boost. And two, challenge runs. Things like Mono-Type/Gen/Color/Ect. runs severly limit the pokemon available and force the player to go on with less pokemon, thus each pokemon receives far more XP. I started a Mono-Fire run the other day, and, since I refuse to use Pansear because I hate all the elemental monkeys let's be clear-I love Infernape, I only have access to a Braxien, Numel, and Litleo pre-Florina. It's not hard at all, but since I only have three Pokemon, I am forced to only actually use Litleo in the battles throughout the school due to both Braxien and Numel already being at 25 by the time I actually got to the pokemon center. And at that time, Litleo already has shot up to level 19 after I had just beaten the Mechanightmare to obtain it, then gone straight to the school. In challenge runs, it is extremely likely you will require Common Candies in the early game due to a lack of diversity unless you do a completionist run obviously. There's nothing that actually needs to be reconsidered there, but you will need to monitor your Pokemon's levels closely so you don't end up with a team of monsters that don't listen to you that are on fire. Also, to address the second portion of #7, neither Corey nor Kiki are in the world of the living anymore. Both of them died in real life, which is why they perished in game. People like Aya will take their spots in the in game league so don't worry, you'll get your badge in due time.
  13. Except it'd be an event pokemon and thus can be soft reset until perfect IVs and then it's simple to EV train. So actually, it'd be your happy little bat who'd be out classed.
  14. When I play OU, I lose a lot. When I play Battle Factory and OU pops up, I win 90% of the time. Property cause my team building is pretty rubbish in OU.

      I think my main problem is that I tend to go with my feelings and so I'll try to make a Sash Hawlucha team. Doesn't really work. Or I'll decide to use <insert mon here> with another mon which really doesn't synergize with it.Another problem I tend to have is I over predict fairly often to the point where I have to force myself not to try to predict my opponent's every move as at least of a few of those predicts could conceivably lead to me losing my win comdiction...

  15. Why did Showdown become so... colorful? Maybe it's just my phone or maybe it's pride day and nobody told me but there's just rainbow buttons now. Is it a celebration of Ho-Oh or what?

    1. Shing

      It's pride day for the marriage equality that happened.

      It's annoying AF for those of me with an orange background >_>

  16. I'm replaying ORAS just because and I wonder traded until I had a decently varried team of six and a Zorua was in there. I used Zorua on my team, often as my lead,and the AI never knew about it until the Illusion broke.They always chose their best attacks against what Zorua seemed to be.
  17. If anyone is interested in pursuing this idea further, there's actually a metagame called "Gen-NEXT" in which the people who run the meta (generally top showdown peoples and such) design conceivable changes to existing Pokemon and add items and abilities. They don't make any new pokemon as that's what CAP is for, but it have some interesting twists to it compared to Gen VI mechanics.
  18. You need to have Beaten Julia and it to be a rainy night to get Numel. I got mine last night in this exact way because I fealt like restartung in episode 15 with a mono fire run
  19. Mega Ring/Braclet/Necklace/Tricket is what we won't get silly. And idk, I could see us getting a Diancite soon. After all, it's useless without Diance.
  20. The West has rain, man, trust me. I live un Wyoming and recently my entire street was engulfed by the Lord's damp wrath. And I live in the damn desert. This shouldn't be possible. insert joke about reverting to Gen V weather
  21. slight correction It's entirely possible to obtain Dragon Dance and Drain Punch on Scrafty pre-Agate with the new egg moves that come on most event pokemon.
  22. Well, see ya and good luck. I hope to see you around someday.
  23. Why is Julia's Emolga holding a Potion?

      Julia is not dumb!

      She just doesn't get much sleep because of all that Coffee, and couldn't think straight

      (but it's a nice touch that she sleeps on the couch of Ama/Tania house at night during her watch over Amaria)
