Cheers, thanks for that!

Exploring the Area Zero Underdepths after clearing the DLC. In the third room down from the professor's lab, atop the tall crystal on the right, there is a room sectioned off by a pile of crystal. Behind the crystal, I can see several items, including a TM. There does not appear to be another...

Still playing Red Rescue Team and went through Western Cave today with the intent of recruiting Mewtwo. I had completely forgotten that you can't recruit Mewtwo the first time for some godforsaken reason, so I am now annoyed.

Been playing Red Rescue Team on NSO and I gotta say, Abilities like Poison Point and Flame Body proccing off attacks like Thunder Shock and the like really runs counter to my core series player sensibilities.

Got partnered with one on my second attempt and it put in work. Even had Swagger for instant -2. Doubt we would've won without it, what a Chad.

Second try with Armorouge after failing due to some idiot bringing an Iron Moth... and, granted, holding Light Clay over Shell Bell when I had no other recovery. Armorouge @ Shell Bell Modest Nature Trait: Flash Fire Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 SpAtk/SpDef ~ Clear Smog ~ Light Screen ~...

So basically it'd be prudent to catch every 5* Raid just to be sure thanks to Game Freak's annoyingly usual incompetence. I swear to Arceus, if I encountered a shiny and didn't know it imma be saltier than Garganacl

I had at least three 5* Raids when I checked today, though my question is if sparkles show up if the little idiot is shiny given this is one of those Pokémon with hardly any difference between colorations.

Won first try with the following: :SV/Appletun: @ Leftovers (Light Clay is also a possibility, since you have Giga Drain) Bold Nature Trait: Thick Fat (not that it matters) Tera Type: Grass (same here, for the most part, but helps avoid Wood Hammer + EQ) 252 HP/Def, 4 SpAtk ~ Apple Acid ~ Giga...

I can confirm that Storm Drain Gastrodon is very useful. I went Calm 252 HP/SpDef, but given that Greninja very often chooses Night Slash against you, Bold 252 Def might be better (it did try Ice Beam once or twice though). I won on my first attempt thanks to a Stored Power Slowbro partner, but...

Got my ass kicked a bunch but after theorymon-ing a little (I know, I know), I stumbled upon a potential set: Torkoal @ Leftovers / Ability Shield Bold Nature Trait: Shell Armor EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SpAtk ~ Clear Smog ~ Lava Plume / Will-O-Wisp ~ Iron Defense ~ Body Press Basically you sit...

Just finished the story with this team, and I gotta say that this gen went hard with the new designs. And yes, I can already hear you yelling that Copperajah was introduced last gen. Originally I wanted Clodsire in that slot but it didn't quite pull its weight and I found a shiny Cufant so I...

I was training a Charizard in ORAS. I had just fought the Gentleman on Route 121, and Zard was paralyzed from his Manectric. I just needed a little more experience to level up so I walked around for a wild encounter. Found a wild Shuppet, which would work.... only it didn't. RNGesus decided...

Why didn't the Scorbunny line get Blaze Kick via level-up? It makes perfect sense thematically and would've helped bridge the STAB gap between Flame Charge and Pyro Ball. Sure, you can make the argument that this situation incentives collecting TRs but I think it would've been better as a...

I would like to please request for my username to be changed to Lightning Energy. This current name is old and frankly embarrassing, and I go by Lightning Energy on other websites. Thank you! oki--tdp
