Max. Optimizer's Trouser Pouch Monstrosity Répertoire ft. Ribbon Masters™, RNGs, SRs, & More

[Max. Optimizer]

Hello Max.

For competition purpose I'm asking you if you could help me with a trick room team in doubles.

Two pokemons caught my eyes, it's your "Martin" received from terra and (well I'm giving it a shot even though it's NFT your "Hrimfaxi" received from The Chaotician.

We can discuss about our deal on Discord.

I also will be able to rng the npc s trade in game you don't have in gen I and II.

See you.

Bonjour Gaudi,

I can trade you ❝Martin❞, sure, no problem at all.
❝Hrímfaxi❞ is a different story, you'd have to CMT The Chaotician himself for it via DM/VM.

I'll send you a message on Discord, a bientôt!

[Max. Optimizer]

Hi MO! In response to your CMT for my Dada Zarude, would Lego's Samehada be alright?

Gladly, Tate, gladly.

Would you prefer receiving it in Gen 7, in case you want to teach it Toxic?
That would set it apart from the Gen 8 Garchomps that can learn Endure via TR26 now.

You can leave me a message on Discord to confirm the trade.

Heya Max! I am interested in your shiny Stakataka nicknamed Psalm 46 and shiny Gmax Drednaw nicknamed George

Notes and information

❝このマックス・オプティマイザには正しいと信じる夢がある。❞
❝Kono Makkusu Oputimaiza ni wa tadashī to shinjiru yume ga aru.❞
❝I, Max. Optimizer, have a dream that I know is just.❞
(A dream of completing my first ever own complete Ribbon Master™)

This Pokémon was snagged from Rider Nelis at The Under Subway on the 3rd of February 2021.
This Pokémon was RNG abused in Pokémon Colosseum with the help of Sephirona, using the Dolphin v4.0-6848 emulator.
Every effort has been made to properly credit all of the guides and resources that were used for this project:

• Decimal to Hexadecimal Converter
• Dolphin v4.0-6848
• PokéFinder v2.5.3 by Admiral-Fish
• Pokemon Colosseum RNG Guide by Sephirona
• RunAsDate v1.37 by Nir Sofer
• SID-For-Shiny tool by Lego

I started the Ribbon Master™ on the 3rd of February 2021.
I finished the Ribbon Master™ on the 17th of March 2021.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous protagonist from the 5th part of Hirohiko Araki's ❝JoJo's Bizarre Adventure❞ manga series.
Giorno is the illegitimate son of DIO, conceived with Jonathan Joestar's stolen body.
The nickname was chosen because shiny Sneasel's and shiny Weavile's colour palette matches that of Giorno.
The TID was chosen and RNG Abused to represent the year 1985, Giorno's year of birth.

If you wish to see proof in the form of screen-shots, please click on the following links:

• I challenge Rider Nelis
• I snag the Sneasel from Rider Nelis at The Under Subway, using a Premier Ball
• The Sneasel appears as a shiny in the party window, confirming that the RNG project was a resounding success
• I purify the Sneasel at the Agate Shrine, using the Time Flute I got after defeating Dakim at Mt Battle
• I nickname the Sneasel ❝Giorno❞

{252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to Lara Tybur from Hajime Isayama's ❝Attack on Titan❞ manga series, host of the War Hammer Titan.
Po Town, her hatching location, is a reference to the Liberio internment zone in Marley, a ghetto-like place surrounded by walls that functioned as a place for Eldians to live.
The Liberio internment zone incidentally became the battlefield for Lara Tybur and Eren Jäger.
Her ID number 002000 is a reference to the pilot episode of ❝Attack on Titan❞, called ❝To you, in 2000 years❞.
Her in-game hatching date of April 7th 2013 is a reference to the airing date of the aforementioned pilot episode of ❝Attack on Titan❞.

{4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe}

It was named after Sue Hendrickson, the fossil collector that discovered the fossil on August 12, 1990, while exploring the cliffs at the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in western South Dakota near the city of Faith.
Interestingly enough, she only found the fossil because her group's truck had a flat tire and she wanted to pass the time while exploring the area while waiting for the truck to be repaired.
Sue is now a permanent feature at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois.

EV'd: Horn Leech, Swords Dance, Close Combat, Darkest Lariat
{252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous sacred bull worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion, identified as the son of Hathor, a primary deity in the pantheon of ancient Egypt.
For a bull to earn the name of ❝Apis❞, its body had to be mainly black, just like the colour palette of shiny Tapu Bulu.
In addition to this, having a white crescent moon shape on its right flank was also a necessary prerequisite, in order to qualify as ❝Apis❞.
This motif goes notably well with the Moon Ball that was chosen to catch this Tapu Bulu.
Apis' mother was also believed to have conceived him by a ❝flash of lightning from the heavens❞, or from ❝moonbeams❞.

❝Roger that, boss. That is my reason for living as well.❞

This Pokémon was snagged from Cipher Peon Cole in Cipher Lab on the 9th of February 2021.
Aipom was intentionally defeated in Cipher Lab so that it could be caught in a Master Ball later on.

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous character from the 5th part of Hirohiko Araki's ❝JoJo's Bizarre Adventure❞ manga series.
Doppio shares his body with Diavolo and regularly uses random objects as ❝phones❞ with which he talks with the latter.
The nickname was chosen because shiny Aipom's and shiny Ambipom's colour palette matches that of Doppio.
In addition to this, ❝doppio❞ means ❝double❞ in Italian, which is the overall theme of this evolution line.
The TID, the nature, and the IV spread are from the same savegame as ❝Giorno❞ the Sneasel/Weavile.​

❝Eikþyrnir heitir hiörtr,❞
❝er stendr á höllo Heriaföðrs❞
❝ok bítr af Læraðs limom;❞

The nickname was chosen for a shiny Houndoom, since the movie hound was described as ❝blue❞.
The shiny sparkles bear a striking resemblance to the fluorescent phosphorus that was rubbed on the hound, in order to achieve the hellish aura.
The Moon Ball was chosen, since the moonlight let the hound glow in the darkness of Dartmoor.

[Rain Moon]

Greetings, MO. Rain from Smogon Wifi Discord here. I’m contacting you on your thread because I’ve been absent from Discord recently (not sure if anyone noticed I was missing, LOL).

Anyway, after almost a month I will finally be able to catch myself a perfect square shiny Indeedee which I promised to offer you. I checked your thread as you requested and I would like to trade for your Giratina “Sheol”.

I’d be happy for you to add my Indeedee to your thread, but I would like for you to make her non-redistributable so that she isn’t being devalued by excessive cloning. I couldn’t think of much in the way of a nickname though, so I am still open to suggestions there.

I am off to sleep now, so I’m shooting a message now in hopes that we will be able to make the trade tomorrow. Bye!

Anyway, after almost a month I will finally be able to catch myself a perfect square shiny Indeedee which I promised to offer you. I checked your thread as you requested and I would like to trade for your Giratina “Sheol”.

I’d be happy for you to add my Indeedee to your thread, but I would like for you to make her non-redistributable so that she isn’t being devalued by excessive cloning. I couldn’t think of much in the way of a nickname though, so I am still open to suggestions there.

I am off to sleep now, so I’m shooting a message now in hopes that we will be able to make the trade tomorrow. Bye!

Greetings, Rain.
We did notice, yes, hence why I'm glad to read from you again.

Yes, I will gladly trade you Mehlord's ❝Sheol❞.
As a matter of fact, since I am a man of my word, I will also throw in a copy of ❝Killua❞, my shiny Zeraora.
I know that you missed out on the event and I figured you should have a nicknamed one for your collection.
Consider it a way of saying ❝Thank you❞.

I will indeed think of a nickname for the Indeedee and display her in my thread.
I will label her as ❝NFT❞ (Not For Trade), which means that I will not trade her at all.
❝Non-Redis❞ means that I can trade the Pokémon, but whoever receives it from me cannot trade it further.

Sure thing, I will have both Pokémon ready for you once you wake up later.
You can ping me on Discord once you're available.

Sia later!

 

[Rain Moon]

Sounds good to me, and thanks for remembering about the Zeraora! I was quite disappointed to have missed such a cool event mon. Making Indeedee NFT is also a good call.

Hi Max! Are there any specific Pokemon you're looking to get right now for your collection? I would love to add something to it but I don't know what you're after.

Hi Max! Are there any specific Pokemon you're looking to get right now for your collection? I would love to add something to it but I don't know what you're after.

Greetings Sceptilian70,

Currently, there is not much I am looking for, truth be told.
I only really do occasional personal projects in the form of egg RNG, whenever I find the time and inspiration.

Please do not feel like you need to give me anything.
If anything, I was thinking about giving you something instead, in order to help you get started with your trade thread.
I am looking forward to seeing what you are going to add.

By the way, feel free to come chat with us on our Discord server if you like.
Make yourself at home!

He is a young boy that lived with Hartmann, a former director of the East German orphanage ❝Kinderheim 511❞.
When Tenma first meets the boy, he notices bruises and deduces that Dieter must have suffered physical abuse under Hartmann.
The nickname was chosen, since the band-aid on Scorbunny's nose bears striking resemblance to the one Tenma applies to Dieter's face.
In addition to this, Tenma also buys a football as a gift for Dieter and the latter ends up living a normal life at the end, playing in a football team.

IVs: 31 | 31 | 31 | 0 | 31 | 31
EV'd: Megahorn, Close Combat, Knock Off, Facade
{252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to Gregor Samsa, the main protagonist from German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer Franz Kafka's 1915 novella ❝Die Verwandlung❞ (❝The Metamorphosis❞).
He wakes up one morning, only to find himself transformed into an ❝ungeheures Ungeziefer❞ (❝monstrous vermin❞), akin to a beetle.
It is a story about self-disgust, about the treachery of family, and about terrifying arbitrary power.
The disgusted family confines Gregor to his room and starts dehumanizing him by referring to him as ❝it❞.
Eventually, the family reaches the conclusion that the insect ❝has to go❞, to which Gregor silently agrees in his room, before dying quietly.
❝Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt.❞

(#468 - Max. Optimizer's ❝Kormir❞

EV'd (Gen 8+): Nasty Plot, Draining Kiss, Air Slash, Flamethrower
{52 HP / 4 Def / 196 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous spearmarshal from ArenaNet's ❝Guild Wars❞.
She is a powerful paragon, typically wearing armour featuring an angelic motif, usually in the form of wings engraved onto the metal plates.
❝I am Kormir, spearmarshal of the Sunspears...those sworn to defend the lands of Elona. Darkness has befallen our lands.❞
❝I have travelled to the Battle Isles and have come to Cantha to search for heroes willing to fight this evil and bring peace to the lands of Elona.❞

(#630 - Max. Optimizer's ❝Milena❞

❝the Great Friend❞

IVs: 31 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31
EV'd: Foul Play, Roost, Defog, U-turn
{248 HP / 68 Def / 192 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to Czech journalist, writer, editor, and translator Milena Jesenská.
More precisely, it is a reference to the failed relatioship she had with German-speaking Bohemian novelist and short-story writer Franz Kafka.
The aforementioned failed relationship was one of the catalysts for Franz Kafka's inspiration to write his 1920 short prose story, called ❝Der Geier❞ (❝The Vulture❞).
In this story, Franz Kafka writes about a vulture that mercilessly hacks at a young man's feet, with the latter not even attempting to defend himself.
Another man walks by and offers to go home and grab a rifle and come back, in order to shoot the vulture, thus saving the young man.
The vulture, however, listens to their plan and thrusts its beak into the young man's head, killing him, as well as itself, drowning in the young man's flowing blood, ❝filling every depth, flooding every shore❞.
In this story, the protagonist is thought to be Kafka himself, unable to defend himself against the strokes of fate and illness that keep hacking at him.
Her ID number 004711 is a reference to the nickname ❝4711❞ (❝Siebenundvierzig-elf❞) that fellow Ravensbrück concentration camp inmates had given her, based on the number that had been tattooed onto her.
The Love Ball was chosen, not only to match the colour palette, but also to complement the fact that ❝râchâm❞, the name of the Egyptian vulture in the bible, contains the root for ❝love❞, the feeling they had for each other.

Shout-out to Christian, Lego, and Xucrute for having RNG abused countless savegames to help me TSV hatch Pokémon and nickname event Pokémon.
Your help has always been appreciated and I decided to take matters into my own hands, as I think that it would be unfair of me to always rely on you.
At the end of the day, the plethora of amazing Pokémon in our beloved sub-forum has only ever been possible thanks to our amazing cameraderie.
Shout-out to Sephirona for coming up with this project and for always inspiring me to take on new challenges.

Shout-out to Lego for helping me bot the Galarian Slowking project: it took 78788 eggs (181 shinies) to get a flawless male shiny one.

EV'd: Sludge Bomb, Future Sight, Earthquake, Flamethrower
{248 HP / 216 SpA / 40 SpD / 4 Spe}

The nickname is a reference to the eponymous tragic villain from French journalist and author Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux's novel ❝Le Fantôme de l'Opéra❞ (❝The Phantom of the Opera❞).
Erik, whose face got deformed after an acid attack, haunts the Palais Garnier Opera House as the ❝Angel of Music❞ and the ❝Opera Ghost❞.
He tutors the young Swedish soprano Christine Daaé, before eventually becoming obsessed with her.
The nickname was chosen for a Galarian Slowking, since the Shellder bears a striking resemblance to the mask that Erik wears in order to hide his deformed face.
In addition to this, the motif of the poisonous Shellder that latches onto Slowking's face bears a striking resemblance to the acid that got poured into Erik's face.
❝Il est d'une prodigieuse maigreur et son habit noir flotte sur une charpente squelettique.❞
❝Ses yeux sont si profonds qu'on ne distingue pas bien les prunelles immobiles.❞
❝On ne voit, en somme, que deux grands trous noirs comme au crâne des morts.❞

EV'd: Future Sight, Psychic, Knock Off, Infestation
{248 HP / 124 SpA / 136 SpD}

The nickname is a reference to Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research.
An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under specific conditions, and the HeLa cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data to the present day.
The nickname was chosen for a Reuniclus with the Regenerator ability, since the evolution line is based on cells and since the ability fits the theme of Henrietta's immortalized cell line reproducing indefinitely.
I got the inspiration when Sephirona told me about Henrietta Lacks while we were watching Chiaki J. Konaka's ❝Texhnolyze❞ anime series, directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki.
In the show, Ichise receives a texhnolyzed arm and a leg, made out of the cells of his mother that he kept with himself in a tube.

The nickname is also a reference to the dragonflies that accompany her during her stay in the underground city of Lux.
In the words of Ha Neul Seom: ❝nymphs spend years under murky water before emerging airborne as dragonflies, soaring the sky freely.
To question our self-made illusions which we call reality, and brutally tearing away your fabricated shells in an act of spiritual transformation.
I wonder what those immobile Shapes are thinking of themselves as they see dragonflies freely fluttering in front of their eyes.❞
