Smogon Wi-Fi's 8th Annual Secret Santa Giveaway [Sign-Ups Closed, Gifts being Given]

[Tatertot]

Merry Christmas to everyone, but especially to my Secret Santa CPBBAE!

“Keldeo the Driven”
#0647 - Keldeo (Resolute) (⚬)
Nature: Timid | Ability: Justified
IVs: 31.0.31.31.31.31
Moves: Surf, Secret Sword, Flip Turn, Vacuum Wave
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
OT: Tate ID: 028907
Notes: Pumped-Up Mark

​

I noticed from their Discord messages that they seemed to have a liking for marks, so I knew that I wanted to give them something with a mark on it. And since Keldeo was a fit for a number of their prompts (blue, from Unova, Water/Fighting type, both cute & powerful), I decided a marked Keldeo from SWSH could be a fun and fitting idea.

(Funnily enough, after I started the project I saw them talking to Buckert on Discord about RNGing the Swords of Justice in SWSH, so this coincidentally ended up being very well timed!)

I figured getting every ribbon currently available on it would spruce it up enough to be a nice gift, and hopefully be something they don’t have yet. So, here it is! Hope you enjoy! (And thank you for the absolutely jaw-dropping gift in return, I'm completely floored!)

Hello, and Merry Christmas.

I got Kingdredakid5 as my Secret Santa giftee. As per their answers, I couldn’t figure out any Pokemon that would be red and work with a Master Ball. So, I did a Ceruledge. They didn’t want a nickname, so I followed through with that. I did train it from Lv. 14 to Lv. 50, Hyper Train, and gave a competitive moveset, nature, and Tera Type, but this Pokemon could also be used for any Casual battles, as well. It was a Timid Nature, but I gave it an Adamant Mint to fit the aggressive nature of the Pokemon.

I finally managed to give my gift to noma which is non other than:

♀

Etienne | 599603 | Ula'Ula Garden (Alola)
Timid - Natural Cure
31 | 0 | 31 | 31 | 31 | 31
252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Leaf Storm / Sludge Bomb / Spikes / Sleep Powder

I first put myself in mind to find a Steel, Fairy or Poison type who at least had purple on it, matches well with noma's favorite Pokeballs and was preferably from first or fourth generation and who looks at least a bit badass, so I thought Roserade was an appropriate choice. Since nicknaming isn't in noma's habits and I don't know anything about The Witcher, I didn't bother to find a nickname.
Hope you enjoy it !​

Merry Christmas to everyone and sorry for the late-ish post.

So my recipient was Maia but I had a brief moment of alarm seeing Bobsican's prior post and thinking I had prepared a gift for the wrong person! Anyway, I could see that Litwick was your favorite, and I was tempted to do that but ultimately decided not to because getting something slightly unexpected might be a bit more fun.

I was unsure if you liked Kyurem or not, because although you said you prefer cute Pokemon* over powerful ones, you also had a Kyurem in your forum signature and I saw you made a RMT post featuring Kyurem somewhat recently. Shiny Kyurem is also a perfect match for the

which you stated to be your favorite!

I planned to RNG a shiny Jolly Kyurem, catch it in a

and give it the set that you used for your team, but unfortunately I was quite exhausted from studying and my RNG skills were quite rusty. I never managed to materialize the project.

Fortunately, I already had another shiny Kyurem chilling (no pun intended) in my storage from a previous project! This one is Modest and caught in a

but hopefully that's not too bad for you.

#0646 - Kyurem "Azi"
―――――――――――――――――――――

―――――――――――――――――――――
Nature: Modest | Ability: Pressure | Tera Type: Ground
IVs: 31 / 0 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Moves: Draco Meteor | Freeze-Dry | Earth Power | Focus Blast
OT: Shira/730170 | Game: Ultra Moon​

It is named Azi which is the Avestan word for dragon. This was meant to allude to Azi Dahaka, the cunning and powerful three-headed dragon from Zoroastrian mythos. Perhaps one day, a future game will allow this Kyurem to recombine with its two heads Reshiram and Zekrom...

Just in case you didn't like that one, I also have another thing for you. I don't know if you like Whimsicott or not, but I have yet to see anyone who didn't like the smiley cotton ball creature so I'd be kind of surprised if that was the case.

#0547 - Whimsicott ♂ "Puck"
―――――――――――――――――――――

―――――――――――――――――――――
Nature: Timid | Ability: Prankster | Tera Type: Water
IVs: 31 / 0 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 31
EVs: 252 HP / 6 SpA / 252 Spe
Moves: Giga Drain | Moonblast | Encore | U-Turn
OT: Rain/963527 | Game: Moon​

He is named after the mischievous woodland fairy from A Midsummer Night's Dream. This Whimsicott's Prankster ability will hopefully allow him to commit some clever shenanigans just like his namesake.

Please do contact me here or on Discord (@rainown) when you'd like to receive them. Also, here are some pictures of them I took in SV.

*Important note: I changed my mind on Kyurem not being cute when it kept getting the zoomies and then fell asleep as I tried to photograph it.

Finally got in contact with P3DS to give them their gift!

31/31/31/5/31/31 | Careful | Immunity (H)

For these types of events, I like to give out eggs instead of fully done Pokemon, because it's like giving them a little gift to unwrap :) Plus, my giftee mentioned they like nicknaming their Pokemon, so this gives them a chance to pick one of their own.

P3DS mentioned that PLA, SV, and PMD Sky are some of their favorite games, blue is their favorite color, and they prefer powerful Pokemon, so I couldn't think of a more fitting Pokemon than Gligar, who is available in all of these games, is a blue shiny that evolves into another blue shiny, and evolves into a terror in the competitive scene.​

Merry Christmas to my Secret Santa Pengu and Bobsican for hosting and everyone else here at Smogon.

#0260 - King K Rool - Swampert (♂) Lvl 100
Poke Ball: Premier
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Jolly (Impish Minted) | Ability: Torrent
IVs: 31.31.31.31.31.31
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spd
Moves: Stealth Rock, Yawn, Flip Turn, Earthquake
OT: Karmaloop ID: 14818
Hatch Location: Camphrier Town (Y), December 20th 2024
​

Pengu mentioned that their favorite region was Alola and that their favorite type was Ground I initially was thinking Alolan Dugtrio, but it was neither a purple shiny nor competitively viable in any way possible. So after going back to the drawing board, the only other Ground types that had a purple shiny were Quagmire, Gligar, Pupitar, and Clodsire besides Swampert. Unfortunately, none of them are overly viable competitively but at least Swampert is fun to play with and I went with an interesting utility moveset. Pengu mentioned that they played Super Smash Bros, which is where the nickname of King K Rool came from as a playable character. Funny enough, Pengu mentioned that Premier Ball was the preferred ball. I had bought a used copy of Pokemon Y a few months back, and noticed a Swampert in a Premier Ball in it. Initially, I thought it was a hack but after doing some research I believe it 2010 Mudkip that was a Japanese Global Link event which is why a Premier Ball Mudkip would be legal in Generation 6.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to Karmaloop3 !



#306 - Meditation - Medicham (Lvl 56)

PokeBall: Dive Ball

Nature: Calm

IVs: 31.31.31.(Random Number).31.31


Karmaloop mentioned they like the color Blue and Psychic-types, and I happened to have a premier candidate in my SV Boxes! Caught in a Dive Ball because I didn't have a beast ball (rip), I figured this would be a good gift for a casual and competitive player! I initially was going for a Alpha Shiny Garchomp, but life got in the way and took away loads of time.

Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoyed your gift!

Hello Happy Holidays everyone thank you to Bobsican for hosting this years Secret Santa. This year i aimed to 1 up what i did last time i did this. Its always a joy to be able to RNG for someone else with a goal to one day RNG a whole team for someone. I find joy in doing the making of the mon then battling. This year the person im gifting is Chlora and the goal was to abide by their preferences. I looked in their Anime list and the typing that they enjoy and i decided to go with...

​

ErenJaegar the Samurott-Hisui of the Distant Past
Nature: Lonely | Ability: Sharpness (Patched)
Tera Type: Ghost
IVs: 31.31.31.31.31.31
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Moves: Ceaseless Edge, Razor Shell, Sucker Punch, Surf
Item: Assault Vest
OT: WMAR ID: 23714
GEN 5 EGG RNG
​

The main and final Antagonist from Attack on Titan. How perfect is this, a sword wielding character from their favorite Anime? Sadly a perfect ball for it isn't possible for the goal i was going for. I really wanted to put my all on this guy, i failed once with 2 missing IVs so it took longer but not by alot. I do have a video if proof is needed on actual cart. They loved the Lonely nature so i made this set around that so to give this mon longevity and actually use its Lonely nature to its advantage, i made it an Assault Vest set to check Dragapult and set up Hazards while luring Landorus-T and Great Tusk by tera and using Surf to hit their weakest stat. Samurott is my Favorite Hisui forme, with Lilligant being my 2nd so their gift for me really is amazing. I made sure to give him 6ivs so if they want to battle on WIFI its useable or if they wanna make it their false swiper at least there will be use. I hope they enjoy their gift and if anyone wants teams breeded i am open to help out. Happy Holidays!!

[Bobsican]

Okay, ideally everyone should've gotten/given out their gifts by now (please DM me if any difficulties happened).

For now, so I don't have to actively follow everyone, I'll ping the following users that have confirmed interest to reach me out regarding the promised Dratini of my part within the already-made DMs to avoid further unecessary clutter.

I can give it out either in SV or Home, and also a reminder that my time zone is GMT -6, so be sure to convert that to your own time zone when sorting out the date for me to give it out unless I happen to be online at Smogon to do so immediately.

Please note that there's a deadline of about a week from now for me to give it out, to avoid users coming out of nowhere quite after this should've concluded, so be sure to sort this out sometime before January 9th.
