#normal tera type

[visforvictini13]

Name: Larry

Trainer Card Number: 546

Gender: Male

Series Of Origin: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Type Specialty: Normal / Flying

Okay so this was the hardest trainer card I had to make because....Larry has two cannonical teams .... with two different type specialties. So I tried balancing this the best I could.

Komala, Dudunsparce & Staraptor: His Gym Team (The Normal Types)

Alatria and Flamigo: From his Elite 4 teams

Braviary: Rematch Team

Oinkologne, Tropius and Oricorio are just back up pokemon

Seems like there’s no event this weekend which on one hand gives me time to prepare for the next one, maybe grind for Apriballs, maybe prepare a Pokémon that could beat a Water-type with a Dragon or Steel Tera type and hope I’m right that Feraligatr the Unrivaled will have one of those Tera types even though we just had them with Charizard and Blastoise

Or you know, I could just shiny hunt Roaring Moon. That sounds like less of a waste of time

[mlarayoukai]

Tpc would be soooo smart if they use tera types to call back to delta species in the card game. It's begging to happen

CRYING I JUST FOUND A SHINY OF MY FAVORITE POKÉMON 😭😭😭

[ambivalentatmosphere]

You are challenged by Pokémon Trainer Leo!

[terashards]

They really gave my man Sand Veil and put him in the desert with an active sandstorm and then made him Electric/Normal instead of Electric/Ground

⚔️

Gotta Ask 'Em All // Accepting

⚔️ - Double battle or single battle?

((Single. I've tiptoed into Ranked battles lately, and that's where I feel safest with the Normal-type team I've built. Maybe I'll build up another team so I can experiment with Double battles.))

[jaybug-jabbers]

Gelatopod - Ice/Fairy

(Vanilla-Caramel Flavor is normal, Mint-Choco is shiny)

Artist - I adopted this wonderful fakemon from xeeble! So I decided to make up a full list of game data, moves, lore, etc. for it. Enjoy! :D

Abilities - Sticky Hold/Ice Body/Weak Armor (Hidden)

Pokedex Entries

Scarlet: Gelatopod leaves behind a sticky trail when it moves. A rich, creamy ice cream can be made from the collected slime.

Violet: At night, it uses the spike on its shell to dig into the ground, anchoring itself into place. Then it withdraws into its shell to sleep in safety.

Notes

I'm not a competitive player, but I did my best to balance this fakemon fairly and not make it too broken. Feel free to give feedback if you have any thoughts!

I have a huge bias for Bug Pokemon since they're my favorite type, and at first I wanted to make it Bug/Ice, since any intervebrate could be tossed into the 'Bug' typing. But ultimately I decided to keep xeeble's original idea of Ice/Fairy. There's precedent of food-themed pokemon being Fairy type, and Ice/Fairy would be very interesting due to its rarity (only Alolan Ninetails has it). Its type weaknesses are also slightly easier to handle than Bug/Ice imo

The signature move is indeed based on real love darts, I could not resist something that fascinating being made into a Pokemon move, even if the real games may possibly shy away from the idea. (Honestly it could be argued "Love Dart" is based on Cupid's arrow so Gamefreak might actually get away with making a move like this though.) Its effectiveness on both males and females is a nod to snails/slugs being biological hermaphrodites. I can see this move also being learned by Gastrodon and Magcargo in Scarlet/Violet

Pokemon can make all the tera-type cards they want, but they'll never be able to top this Delta species Ludicolo card where it's just a normal Ludicolo except it's on fire

[tealmaskmybeloved]

Hmm, that Hydrapple looks different than normal. Surely it doesn't mean anything, right?

Jokes aside, I redesigned TC!Kieran's ace Hydrapple! It's now a Poison/Dragon Type with the Ability Toxic Chain.

The Tera Type would be Poison (obviously) and the little Pecha Berry on its horn is a Mythical Pecha Berry (for funsies)

Its Pokedex entry would be this:

"Determined to help its trainer succeed, this Hydrapple's powers were stimulated by the Toxic Chain on its tail. Instead of the other heads listening to the lead one, all 7 heads seem to take orders from a higher being."

If you dont mind the ask, what are some of your favorite pokemon cards by moveset, design, and/or art?

Ooh, I like this ask, I think I'm going to dig in and make this my post for the day and put some work into this.

Electrode was the coolest Pokemon in the first generation because blowing up to what would become 2 of any Energy let some cool strats with otherwise slow Pokemon work. It's a shame that it was so weak to Energy Removal, but at least Lass existed to help.

Kabuto from Neo Discovery goes in the art category. Was the first of the clay Pokemon by Yuka Morii that I ever got, and those cards are adorable. I'm glad there was a series of these throughout the years.

Town Volunteers was one of the first Supporters, which was a very positive change to the game, but was also used for art in the Lumiose Museum in XY. I love that they used old cards in that.

This was probably the first deck I used that was really, really good, as I actually got all the cards together for a functional version of it. I couldn't go to many events for various reasons but I'm fond of it anyway.

Flygon here had a lot going for it. It was one of the Delta Species, which was a very cool concept and one I wish they'd go fully back to someday. Tera does some of that but misses out on the Weakness diversity within a type thing, which I know they're actively trying to avoid now. It also let you play with a variety of Delta Species at once with that Poke-Power, so it was fun to mess around with.

My favorite Pokemon may have never been good in the games (does ADV ZU count as good? Probably not) but got one of the best cards of all time. Any deck could use this as 2 of any color of Energy, though you had to return an Energy back to your hand so it worked best alongside things like Blastoise ex or Meganium ex. Those decks could just work with any Pokemon that needed 2 or fewer off-type Energy, so that translated to the vast majority of Pokemon in the game. It was still useful in decks without that to an extent. Oh, and it was also a starter Pokemon for basically any deck running a lot of Delta Species Pokemon, even if it was just the Basic versions to evolve into something else. Incredible card.

Crystal Beach isn't here for design or what it does, it's for story reasons. One person that could possibly read this will know what I'm talking about here.

I didn't get to play a ton in the DP era but I do remember this being silly. 90 for no Energy was such a fun concept, and it was actually pretty good at the time.

The attack is called Everyone Explode Now. What's not to like?

---

I think I should stop here for now, got out of hand a bit. I think I'll put out a second edition of this tomorrow evening with later cards since I rarely write anything after therapy anyway and that'll be a fun easy thing. Can go back to normal posts Wednesday. Thanks for the ask here, that was fun to do!

Hey Charlie! I was doing some research for an upcoming visit to Paldea, and found out the League gives League Points to trainers who battle naturally terastalized pokemon or pokemon in crystal caverns.

Doesn't that just incentivize people putting themselves/their pokemon in danger? I've read that some of these pokemon can be REALLY strong, not to mention I think I'd get confused on how to react to a pokemon that's just... not its normal type? What's your take on this?

ps. Planning on visiting the Artazon humane society while I'm there!

i have...complicated feelings about the league here in paldea. after it was revealed that our top champion not only didn't punish young students who snuck into the great crater, but even decided to send a couple of them back down into an unexplored area, i haven't exactly been their biggest supporter. i'm also still annoyed at how they handled the legalization of non-native pokemon for league use.

i don't think they super care about the potential danger, really. i agree that it's not a good idea. as someone who once had to resort to stealing food for a while, if i'd had a pokemon at the time, i could see myself being tempted to try and take on a tera den and getting hurt back then. i think it's neat that trainers can use their points to print tms! but the system needs some work.

on a side note, i'd be interested to know what the energy costs for the LP system are.

So uhh… two of my Pokémon have been breeding. I can already tell who the mother is - Ribbon Fox shares the Field Egg Group with Spriggie and Rilla but Char doesn’t share an egg group with the others meaning it must be Ribbon Fox but given Ribbon Fox shares an egg group with both Spriggie and Rilla, I don’t know who the father is! The annoying thing is, the mother passes down the species so I can’t tell from the species who the father is because I know I’ll be getting a Fennekin, not a Grookey or Sprigatito. I can’t remember which parent passes down the Pokéball (I think it’s the father) so if the baby Fennekin ends up in a regular Poké Ball the father must be Spriggie (or they removed the passing down Poké Ball feature) but if it ends up in a Fast Ball, the father must be Rilla. If it ends up in a Friend Ball then it’s the mother who passes down the Poké Ball. Egg moves might also tell me something but I don’t think any of Spriggie’s moves can be used as egg moves for a Fennekin

I remember you and your friends trying to defeated annihilape (in tera raid) but he was clapping your pokemon's ass. I just found one too, a ghost tera-type. And I was thinking "hey Hisuian Zoroark is Ghost and normal type, so he's immune to ghost and fighting type move of Annihilape". But that dude had also a Dark type move bruh. He clap my ass so hard. It feels so unfair lmao. You can't lower his stats cuz of Defiant, burning him is meaningless because of his move Focus Energy, and even increasing your Def and SpeDef is useless.

He is the final raid boss of Pokemon lmao

I think, the only way of defeating him is to oneshoting him, otherwise rage fist will oneshot all your pokemon lol.

the funny part is we found another one that had flying, so I brought miraidon while they brought wigglytuff and did a skill swap (we did skill swap last time) so its defiant was gone, we clapped him easily this time though, then proceeded to get stomped by another tera type so yeah it's a conundrum when it'll be broken as all hell and when it's easy XD its the constant critical hits that drive us crazy
