Greetings Ty,

I'm currently not really looking for anything in particular, but I don't mind letting you have the two Pokémon that you're looking for free for now.
I'll let you know if there's something I need in the future though, no worries.

However, since the SD card I've been using to access soundhax on my old 3DS needs to replaced, this means that I'm currently unable to clone myself.
I'd suggest that I trade them to you and you make copies for yourself before returning the originals to me.

If that sounds good to you, we can set up a trade whenever and coordinate it via Discord.

The Crown Tundra will have a special Ability Capsule that can change a Pokémon's regular abilities to its hidden ability.
This is why me and many other fellow Wi-Fi users are now preparing projects in advance to get our hands on combinations that were previously unobtainable!

I just added this piece of information already in order to raise awareness and show why I got a Poison Point Nidoking in Gen 7.

The nickname is derived from the Japanese word for parachute (literally ❝umbrella for falling❞, 落下傘).
While modern Japanese uses the English loanword パラシュート (parashūto) for parachute, the word ❝rakkasan❞ was used humorously because of a clumsy mistranslation.

{252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh.
Much like how Cara Liss restores Dracovish with the fish head at the end of the drake's tail, Edward Drinker Cope, his competitor and archrival, had reconstructed an Elasmosaurus skeleton with the skull at the end of the tail.
Othniel Charles Marsh would continue to humiliate Edward Drinker Cope for his scientific blunder.
For more information, please check the entry of the Dracovish named ❝Drinker Cope❞.

The nickname is a reference to Mrs. Shimabukuro from the ❝And Then There Were No Mermaids❞ murder case in Gosho Ayoama's ❝Detective Conan❞ manga series.
Every year on the mermaid island a festival is held during which three participants win Dugong Arrows that are said to wield immortality to their carriers.
The arrows are bestowed upon the winners by an Elder woman who is allegedly over 130 years old thanks to the flesh of a mermaid she consumed.
When Saori, Naoko, and Toshimi failed to win the Dugong Arrow lottery, they got drunk and burned her alive in one of the warehouses to see if she was truly immortal.
Only half of her body was discovered, with the leg bones missing.
The deceased was never identified, but rumors had been going around that it was ❝the body of a mermaid❞.

Jynx's design is a parody of the Ganguro (ガングロ) and Yamanba (やまんば) gyaru styles, characterized by an artificial deep tan, bleached hair, white makeup around the eyes and on the lips, and darker shades on the eyes.
The reference is also interesting for Jynx, since the label of ❝Yamanaba❞, related to the Yamanba (やまんば) gyaru style, also means ❝old mountain hag❞.

Details and proof

This Pokémon was soft-reset manually: this means that no tools (such as e.g. bots) were involved in the hunt for this Pokémon.
I started soft-resetting on the 20th of November 2020 and I finally received the shiny Regieleki on the 5th of December 2020 at 9:36 p.m after soft-resetting for 16 days.
The Shiny Charm does not affect Regieleki's shininess in any way, shape, or form and the odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon without any modifying factors are 1/4096 in Generation 6, 7, and 8 games.
Synchronizers do not work on Regieleki.
I finished the Galar Ribbon Master™ on the 26th of December 2020.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous drone from Iain M. Bank's ❝The Culture❞ science fiction book series.

Hi MO! Would you please CMT for your shiny Regieleki? My list of Battle-Ready things is here, since I know that's more where your interest lies :) I also have that shiny Jolly Master Ball Defiant Thundurus you're after, if your "looking for" list is up to date.

 

[Max. Optimizer]

Hi MO! Would you please CMT for your shiny Regieleki?

With pleasure, Tate.

I'd be interested in trading for your ❝Psalm 46❞ Stakataka.
I already have one with 17 Defense IVs, hence why one with 15 Defense IVs would round off the set perfectly.
That, and, well, I have a predilection for living walls.
Would it be possible to receive a BR copy in Gen 7 for ribboning purposes?

Let me know what you think.

Sure thing! Coincidentally though, Psalm 46 is one of the Pokémon I’ll be giving away as part of my anniversary giveaway next week, so is there another one you’d like? (I can give you a copy of him as well) Wouldn’t want you feel like you were jipped!

It's alright, no worries.
I used to do the same thing with my friend Blueforce, I always traded for his giveaway Pokémon, as opposed to getting them for free.
It's just more fun for me that way!

You can message me tomorrow whenever it's the most convenient for you.

Public Service Announcement
<Totes> Christian Light Sanctity Tatertot

With Kanon90's expertise, I found out that 1 SpA can be used for a niche strategy in VGC.
The strategy requires you to use a weak Volt Switch into your partner holding a Weakness Policy.
Since some users have shown interest in the UT version of my Regieleki, I finally decided to revamp it.
I thus wanted to offer every competitive player I recently traded the now-old version a copy of the new version for free as well.
Please do not hesitate to send me a message on Discord if you are interested.

Please find down below the new and definitive version:
