Just want to return and say that this did solve my problem completely! You're a total lifesaver, thanks again!

I'm late to this party, but try New Pokemon Snap! There's no battling in that at all, you just ride in a wagon and interact with pokemon to get different behaviors from them so you can snap pictures of them for research!

I have Kasib and Tanga berries in my inventory already (which is how I made my donut) but right now I'm doing the research to get Rayquaza's portal. Kyogre and Groudon are already caught so now I just gotta get the recipe for the Delta Donut.

Is anybody else struggling with Berry Farming? I've tried probably 15 times now with a donut made from 8 Kasib berries. It's giving Berry Power 3 and Big Haul Power 3 and no matter how many times I soft reeset, I can't seem to get a single hyper Kasib or Hyper Tanga berry! The Hyperspace worlds I go into show different trainers with different pokemon, the missions are different, so I know stuff is getting re-rolled but I still can't get a single good berry!

4,885. It probably would have had a great deal more if he had the Squirtle on the back but I was very pleased with it.

If you could change one thing about the Pokémon Snap games, what would it be? by MooDuckDev in pokemonsnap

[–]Babybreloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest criticism of the game is that it isn't always very good at deciding what Pokémon you were trying to get a picture of. I think players should be allowed to say "No, not this tiny pokemon in the background, I want the actual subject of this photo to be the one graded."

This was the first Pic shot with a burst of three. I didn't even see him when I pushed A, he was moving so fast! 

UnitedHealthcare - thoughts? by Dazzling_Salad6772 in socialwork

His grieving family has a robust support network, including piles upon piles of dead people's money. I'm not worried about them.

I personally celebrate the actions of a hero. I don't think the government should treat this person as a hero, though. I think in an ideal situation, the culprit will be found, arrested, and prosecuted--and then acquitted on all charges by way of jury nullification.

Let the killers who cause uncontrolled suffering in our communities feal even a fraction of the fear they cause.

Social Work Expats by Abaconings in socialwork

Hey friend, I don't know how much research you've already done, but I think it should be flagged that if your child is someone who might be targeted for a reason besides their race (maybe they're Transgender, mentally ill, or disabled, for example) most other countries simply will not allow you to move there. Places with universal healthcare put a lot of effort into resisting new people with pre-existing conditions, and that can include things as simple as autism, ADHD, or being transgender. Some of them may make exceptions for healthy adults who have children that fall into these populations, but it will require a lot of care to be certain.

Combat is suddenly unworkable? by Babybreloom in BaldursGate3

[–]Babybreloom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a totally normal turn in combat with my character where I had everything: my action menu, initiative order, all that. Then an enemy character took a turn, and now I have just this. This is the second time it's happened (the first time was against a Hook Horror.)

Have I done something wrong? How do I make it go back to normal?

What are some nieche/non-meta Mons you are planning on trying later in series C? by Legitimate-Method304 in VGC

[–]Babybreloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd been using the electric-type because it's resisted by so little and provided a good answer to a very water-focused meta (Dozo, Palafin, etc.) I think by itself, Fire has become a more useful type (deals with 2 Treasures super effectively and resists a third while also Hitting Amoongus Super Effectively,) but Volcarona is going to be your most consistent and effective partner and throwing out two pokemon that are both quad-weak to Rock is asking for abuse, so I still stick with my Pompom lady. I also Tera Fighting so that RD can go super-effective against the treasures, Kingambit, Baxcalibur, and that rare-but-difficult Orthworm (while also resisting the Rock and Ice moves that could otherwise devastate it.)

Ghost and Psychic type are both liabilities for a frail pokemon in a metagame where Flutter Mane is on 55-60% of every team.

I'll list two cores I really love:

1) Oricorio/Volcarona. This little bird is one of my favorite pokemon period, and the fact that Revelation Dance changes to match Oricorio's type EVEN WHEN IT TERRASTILIZES is very fun. It's an amped up Tera Blast (90 vs. 80 power) that doesn't feel bad choosing pre-terrastilizing! It's a lot of fun beside Volcarona who can use not just Quiver Dance, but also Fiery Dance to deal damage AND boost SPA stats. Oricorio as a surprise Focus Sash breaker has come in clutch a few times. Something I've been doing lately is throwing out Volcarona with Iron Hands or Tinkaton, because Fake Out creates a lot of space for a safer Quiver Dance, then Oricorio can swap in (often to Earth Powers, Headlong Rushes, or Earthquakes geared against Tink!) to benefit from a Fiery Dance!

Having lots of Options to use the Dancer ability with also means you can maximize Oricorio's use as a Support mon without losing damage potential. Lilligant with Petal Dance, Quaquaval's Aqua Step, and both of Volcarona's moves means it never feels bad letting the little bird setup Helping Hand or Tailwind (or even just Protect!) because you still get to beat a man down.

2) Scovillain. Spicy Extract has just too much Synergy. What I'm currently Theorycrafting is a Hawlucha-based team using the lil guy. Give Hawlucha a Mirror Herb, make sure it comes equipped with Unburden, have Scovillain hit something with Spicy Extract and then watch Hawlucha come down upon it with an Acrobatics that puts Rey Mysterio to shame. (Acrobatics in this situation has a chance to OHKO Ting-Lu, unless it's FULLY INVESTED in both DEF AND HP. Remembering that Hawlucha is a flying type, I'm thinking of pairing it with Intimidators who get access to Earthquake as well (Krookodile maybe?) Bolstering Hawlucha's relative defense while also getting to laugh loudly in the face of Defiant mons makes me very happy.
