seeing the wave of new pokemon that came from Home washing away mons into lower tiers like Toxtricity, Centiskorch, Obstagoon, etc is a weird feeling. Just a reminder: it's going to happen again, twice, with the DLC

Oh okay! All this time I thought it was by battle, my bad! Does this mean that the usage percentages all add up to a total of 600%?

I'd love one! Send me a PM when you're available

So am I stupid or can a Pokemon reach up to 200% in the usage stats? (every team has one so the mon shows up twice in every battle)

It's nice to see that a lot of my favorite Pokemon that were pretty unviable ended up finding a decent home in RU, like Mr. Rime and Boltund. The only mon I really, really like that hasn't found a home yet is Golurk, and I fear the worst for him.

I did a 12 mon rotation for my Sword team, and while I completed the game almost a month ago, I still haven't talked about my squad. In general, most of the team did well, possibly a consequence of my team being overleveled due to me spending a lot of time in the wild area when the story sent me...

If the giveaway is still on, could you PM me? My favorite mon this gen is Boltund, and I will happily send you one of mine in exchange for shield doggo

Is there going to be a Ditto giveaway today? I missed the Christmas one but I finally got the game!

Does anyone know the base odds for finding a Brilliant Aura Pokemon? I know how much the base odds get boosted based on the number of mons you catch or battle, but I don't know what the base odds are. "1.6x" doesn't mean much when I don't know what 1x represents

Is this something you'll be doing every week? I don't have the game yet but I will by Christmas

The agonizing wait until Christmas is both my favorite and least favorite time to be a Pokemon fan, because I'm spending this time making constant tweaks to my eventual in-game team. For instance, I realized that with the max raid exploit, you can get a Dewpider as early as the first wild area...

Oh okay, thanks! I underestimated the impact of Boomburst, I guess

Can I ask why Toxtricity is OU right now? I'm looking at its data and it doesn't seem to be THAT strong, and yet it's sitting pretty with double digit usage. Is this shiny new toy syndrome or is there something I'm missing? Also, UU players, hi! What's the UU meta currently looking like?

Oh okay! Water raids for I'm guessing Surf or Waterfall, Psychic Raids for Psychic Fangs... and are there any viable dragon raids for dragon pulse? (also I didn't know that raids drop a TR of the type of the mon you beat, good to know!)

That's a big oof. Gamefreak, why did you create these four really cool looking fossil Pokemon and then make them THAT hard to use casually?
