A recent addition to legends arceus and scarlet/violet I like a lot is the ability to change Pokemon movesets freely. This has made experimenting with different moves and planning against boss fight a lot easier to do, which makes the teambuilding aspect of the games much more fun. It also made...

I choose spooky over dark mode because I like the dark purple color of the background. I'm not personally a big fan of how the dark mode changes some of the purple parts of the website to just being black, since I sort associate the forums with the color purple due to it being used on the light...

It's way easier to click on the thread title on a phone. That strategy might be considered cheating though. I'm not sure though if it even possible to click on the title on desktop.

I got spearow. Doing this has remined me that I should probably get an actual profile picture at some point.

Turtle Pokemon getting shell smash is kind of odd considering that turtle's shells are part of the body and they can't survive without it (source: https://www.tortoiseowner.com/can-tortoises-turtles-live-without-their-shell/). This is less of a oddity in terms of why these Pokemon where given...

Talking about the discussion of Blood Moon Ursaluna's type, I agree with the idea it will keep the normal type due to the signature ability having the effects of scrappy. If it is case that the ground type would be replaced, it would probably be unconventional when it come to Pokemon type...

Reading that shocked me a bit. Thinking about the fact that I didn't even start with gen 6, but with gen 4 which would be even older make it feel even more weird to me personally. Then again, I get this feeling of shock anytime I realize something is older than I thought. Even the fact that...

Something that feels similar to me is air cutter and air slash. Both moves are special flying type attacks with seemingly the same flavor. The main difference is that air slash has 15 more base power and can flinch, while air cutter has an increased crit chance. Something I found out while doing...

That makes a lot more sense. It's a bit odd though that the animation for the move doesn't really imply such an action, instead showing what looks to be a bunch of tiny bugs attacking the target. Maybe that's why the move was renamed to infestation in English. I'm kind of annoyed at how often...

When playing Pokemon Violet, I got confused when a caught a Dreepy and it has Infestation on it's move set. Dreepy isn't a bug type, and I have no clue how it would be able to use the move. I decided to look at the distribution of the move to see if there is a pattern that explains why Dreepy...

I'm not that great at competitive Pokemon, so take this opinion with a grain of salt. I have been thinking about the balance of the normal type, and in some ways it feels like the worst type. It's kind of hard to figure what the "worst" type is because there can be different criteria you could...

Squawkabilly doesn't learn snarl despite the material it drops being used to craft the TM. The move description also feels fitting for a parrot, which can mimic human speech.

Natural selection/evolution has been a major element in the Pokemon world, being showcased in many different ways like fossil Pokemon, regional varients, convergent evolution Pokémon like Toedscool and Wiglett lines, along with pokedex entries stating more examples such as Toxicroak's pokedex...

What are some good ways to deal with Garganacl effectively, and the different tera types it can run? I have been struggling to deal with the Pokemon whenever I have encountered it with a tera type on the ladder.

In pokemon scarlet and violet most of the pokemon have one or more biomes listed in the pokedex (I'm not entirely sure though that where this data is found since I haven't gotten the game yet). I decided to list each pokemon that belongs to a speficic biome, using https://www.serebii.net/ as a...
