I knew it. First Decidueye, then Samurott, now Typhlosion
I bet they'll release Home shortly after this raid, since they will have finished the Hisuian starter trio
@thenatewolf
I don't think moths are scared of bats because they likely don't understand that bats eat moths. In order to scare a moth, you need to apply nearby force stronger than an average wind, with some sort of vibration, such as a flyswatter

Nah that was a different episode. The one you're thinking of was with "The Flying Car of the Future" and a screw was loose in the tower, causing part of the tower to crash into the garage
Also, Perry was dreaming about Candace dreaming about the boys being busted in that episode
@HazmattRules
False Swipe Gaming is actually goated. They've been doing the same thing for 4 years while always making it interesting, and their consistency and communication with their fans are pretty well unmatched
@PokemonGoApp
Oh cool, an event with 0 additional spawns, lackluster bonuses and some research rewarding 1 (one) special costume Lapras that isn't legacy or anything
Sounds great Niantic, really incentivizing us to follow in your footsteps and not give a SINGLE fuck about the game anymore!
Update:
YEAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Thank you so much to everyone for providing signal boosts and your wishes, and special thanks to

@ScrapinPete
and everyone else who worked tirelessly to sort this out! Thorn and I won't let this go to waste
I also am affected by this, and ngl it'd be extremely cringe if Thorn and I weren't able to make Worlds because we're missing points from a cup. If anyone can help us, please DM me, otherwise spread the word!
@NianticHelp
Oh yeah, people definitely wanted this. No news about the newest PvP bug, but thank GOD we have an announcement about the fact they made it LESS convenient to redeem codes for GO. Excellent work guys, really solving the real issues here
So.
I got third.
Toronto was crazy. I stayed up until 4 AM the night before making a team after my old team got smacked in the GO Cup challenge tournament the day before, thinking I'd maybe match my top 16 from last year.
Boy, was I wrong
@DrLavaYT
Keep in mind, all orders have to have Fuschia before Cinnibar, due to Fuschia giving you access to Surf outside of battle
That said, this is really cool and something I didn't realize was the case lol
@Bulbagarden
Y'all realize Staraptor can clean Lucario with Close Combat right, and then her other Pokemon with any Flying move
Maylene is pretty free
Whitney relies on Flinch and Attraction, which is much more infuriating imo, especially since there's very few faster mons at that point
Aight this is an important announcement to the overall Pokemon community, but especially to GO players:
DO NOT INTERACT WITH VERLISIFY
Essentially, think of him as PokeAK, but 100× worse. He is not to be trusted, nor does he have ANY ground to stand on for arguments. Block him
@Sliver_Nugget
Attack +25
Defense +40
Sp. Def +25
Speed +10
New ability: Contagious Slumber: Whenever this Pokemon becomes affected by the Sleep status, it lets off a huge Yawn. This Yawn will put an opponent to sleep at the end of the next turn
@jimothycool
I gotchu fam, mind if I send a DM?
(I played in Worlds this year for GO, so I'd like to believe I'm fairly well-versed in how to explain PvP)
Legend gaming!
After a really solid climb in MLP with the wackiest team being streamed, I pulled out my regular GL team to finish it off!
Thanks to everyone that tuned into stream, we'll keep playing Remix and maybe we'll run some Achu or other rodents, idk
I've been watching a less experienced PvP streamer who's been trying to learn important information such as type matchups and move timings, and I think there's a rather large amount of elitism in the streaming community, which should probably be addressed

This'll be a (hopefully not super long) thread about my 2024 Play! Pokemon season
I'm pretty darn proud of what I managed to do this season. When I heard that the season was gonna have 2 ways to qualify, I was excited but also nervous about having to collect the required points
@TheOslith
@Magnemite__
Unfortunately yes this is a thing. TPCI has rebranded the starters as "First Partner Pokemon", and they started using this language in the Indigo Disk DLC trailer announcement
Aight you know what, I'm gonna make a hot take:
If you consider yourself at risk of hitting the Rocket cap of 160 Rocket interactions, you need to reduce how much you play
Interacting with 160 Rockets in one day is honestly ridiculous. 148 Rocket stops and 12 balloons is absurd
@hoennbussy
To be fair, the Alt moveset is MENACING. Until gen 6 it's the first time a Gym leader uses a Dragon type, and Dragon Dance with EQ and Aerial Ace provides really solid coverage for that gen. Admittedly Skarm walls it, but like... that's one mon
5-0 to Legend in a meta that I found pretty fun, all things considered
I wonder if this is the first Legend in Canada for S14... please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
🎶12 Days of Christmas🎶
In the 12th broadcasted regional of the season, the top 16 players brought:

7 Skarmory
6 Fire types
Fiiiiive Azu
4 Registeel

@Bulbagarden
Fellas let's be realistic, if y'all had the chance to either be in a relationship with Winona or have the responsibilities that come with being a champion of a region, I know DAMN well which one I'd choose
Toronto Regionals is over for me, but I put everything I had into it, and I think it showed in my placement! 9th place finish at 4-2 after a solid performance in Group A winner's side is a huge step up from my Vancouver record
The season of Achu is here folks!
You know what I'm realizing?
Walrein was 12345 Spear and we called for a nerf
Nidoqueen was 12345 Poison Fang and we called for a nerf
Ape is 12345 Night Slash and we're calling for a nerf
Vig has ALWAYS been 12345 Slam and no one bats an eye???
Make it make sense
@ZyoniK_
Not to defend Niantic's decision here, but this is what happened in the Main Series as well. Dusk Form Lycanroc was originally introduced in Ultra Sun and Moon with an ability that was unobtainable on other Rockruff, so this is about the same
I don't like it either tbf
@7_Color_Rainbow
@pokemonszn
What? Nah I'm sorry, there are so many good lines in this movie
"We're slowing Lugia down!" -> "Let's try Weight Watchers!"
"... I could use pants."
"Frozen one" (right here of course)
"You talking about me?"
Those are just off the top of my head, feel free to add to this!
Oh I forgot to make a Worlds post
Whoops
So my tournament run sucked. We saw it. 0-2 was not what I was hoping for, but I made a few key mistakes that my opponents were able to capitalize on spectacularly and knock me out of the tournament. Only myself to blame.
That said...
@JoeMerrick
It doesn't help that Greninja's movepool is completely bonkers, so it could get stuff like:
Surf
Dark Pulse
Gunk Shot
Grass Knot
Bounce (?)
Extrasensory
Ice Beam
Low Kick (?)
Etc.
Never mind, I am absolutely exhausted. Toronto tweet coming tomorrow for sure tho, 100%
But I would like to thank everyone who has been cheering me on all weekend! The support has been almost overwhelming!
I also am affected by this, and ngl it'd be extremely cringe if Thorn and I weren't able to make Worlds because we're missing points from a cup. If anyone can help us, please DM me, otherwise spread the word!
I am currently in a very stressful situation regarding my worlds qualification. I appear on the leaderboards with 487 Championship Points (13 short of qualifying), but the results from one of the events I attended are missing, (1/2)
Question
Would y'all pay me for coaching?
Could be GBL sets, or Regional prep (building teams and testing them, finding gameplay mistakes and how to prevent/limit them, looking at specific IVs to compare the best of a specific species to build)
I have some ok qualifications
@theanimatedmind
Honestly I really like their dynamic. I feel like a lot of western media highlights how mother-in-law to daughter-in-law relationships are terrible, but Chi-Chi really does respect and appreciate Videl, and vice-versa. It's refreshing
We did some Legend gaming on stream today! Still no shiny Libre, but Rodent Gang™️ pulled through in the last 2 sets for a crazy climb to 3087 elo!
Might be back on Friday to see the beginning of Fantasy Cup!
@ItsAXN
@TheRubixMaster
They're quite similar in their own ways too;
•Mudboi
•Counter-using Psychic type
•Dark type w/FP and Normal type charge move requiring special method
•Steel type with great coverage against other Steels
•Bulky Flying type w/Sky Attack
•Bulky Water w/coverage against Flyers
@wavebouncenade
L. This anime was really nice. Plenty of slice of life and development for a diverse cast while still having plenty of battles, and it broke the mold that the older series had created, similarly to how the games did honestly
@QuentinPicksMen
Guys you're not thinking about this properly
He DEFINITELY has a will, and if you die then the money will just go to where he willed it, which is likely into his companies and fellow right winger areas
At LEAST rewrite the will first, come on now
Hey y'all, I won't be live for a while. I'm experiencing back problems that I wouldn't wish upon my mortal enemy, and I'm currently at the hospital
Hopefully I can still make it to Vancouver regionals, but I'm not overly confident anymore... we'll see tho
@Zactoshii
If you guys think Arceus is gonna die, y'all are in for one HELL of a rude awakening LMAO.
This game is a Shiny hunter's dream, there's so much gameplay around different quests and ways to play the game (like, I'd argue more than most other Pokemon games), and... yeah, no shot
@Bulbagarden
Honestly, it's crazy how much appreciation Bulbasaur/Venusaur have gotten from competitive in the recent generations. The Mega was one of the most balanced in the game and it worked nicely, the G-Max has a neat effect and STAB on Poison moves (improving Sp. Atk), and Earth Power
@HouseStark_93
The intensity
The game makes you require on-the-fly thinking and quick decision making. Should you swap out immediately and get as much energy as possible, or attempt a sack swap? Should I save this Pokemon for later and give up switch advantage? When should I shield? Very tough

I'm not making Worlds this year unfortunately. This was my last chance at points outside of Toronto locals, and... well, yeah
I'll probably make a longer post about Worlds stuff tomorrow or Monday
Fuck Umbreon and Skarm
Went to Toronto for Bellsprout Community Day! We had a bigger group at the beginning, but some of us were going too fast and left them behind 😅 afterwards, I went to Banana Games and won the GO Challenge to prove that Barrie was still a threat even without
