Love it when there's cool™ folks with extensive historical knowledge of lore and ancient lineages who have gone through losses and sought questionable ways of achieving their goals + having indirect connection to their respective beings of worship
i made this little doodle a gartic phone session. it's one of the best ways to create ideas on the spot. i might open blender and recreate this little guy.
How are you staying sane for the shiny run????? I’ve only successfully shiny hunted like. Four times. And one of them doesn’t count because I found the shiny within minutes. And also two of them was with a friend
I just get too bored too quickly. Like I only succeeded in my noibat hunt in violet because I love the noibat line
i've been grinding the E4 in BDSP to get champion stickers + sinnoh champ ribbons on sentimental pokemon, so i've been trying to figure out how to quickly and easily take out all 5 opponents with the least number of pokemon- so far, i'm happy with
Gyarados (holding Shell Bell)- can Dragon Dance and then sweep Aaron, Bertha, and Will with Waterfall, Ice Fang and Crunch
Clefable (holding Quick Claw)- can Minimize + Calm Mind a bunch against Spiritomb and then sweep the rest of Cynthia's team with Moonblast (her lucario has a focus sash and meteor mash, but if i minimize enough it will usually miss, and i can still pull through with gyarados if clefable gets ko'd)
but Flint is fucking me up bad. my other two slots (the last ones are for whoever i am putting the ribbons on) are Flygon and (speed boost) Blaziken, which can be helpful but i think should probably be replaced- preferably with a single Pokemon so i can bring an additional Guy Who Needs Ribbon
Flint opens with a drought Ninetales, so i usually use Flygon and earthquake it. then he switches to Arcanine, which has intimidate + play rough, and my Flygon is specced into pure attack so i have to switch. so i just kind of muddle through the rest of his team with Blaziken and Clefable until the sun wears off. but his Magmortar has psychic and thunderbolt (very bad for blaziken and gyarados), his Rapidash has hypnosis and is fast as shit (obnoxious, hits you like a truck with sun boosted flare blitz when you're healing off the hypnosis). his houndoom hasn't really been an issue but i suspect it knows thunder fang
my gyarados can take like 5 solar beams before fainting and that's what ninetales wants to kill it with, so maybe i could try boosting it up like 4 times with dragon dance, and then see if i can sweep through the sun anyway? oh wait his infernape has a focus sash + thunder punch. ughhhhhh
AND his arcanine has extremespeed!!!! FUCK this guy!!!!!
