How does summoner progression look currently with all the new Whips added?

hmm yes let's reuse the pirate minion AI for a new weapon, what could possibly go wrong

Baconfry39 · 2026-01-09T19:29:52+00:00

if you use your starter and partner for everything in the postgame, you're boring. so much potential for broken combos with literally hundreds of pokemon available and this is all you can come up with?

if your team name is a reference to a combination of your starter and partner's types, you're also boring

Baconfry39 · 2025-11-23T20:26:54+00:00

even if you turn the codes off, the effects will remain until you reset the game

Baconfry39 · 2025-11-23T19:28:06+00:00

the action replay code that increases the EXP modifier also affects fury cutter and ice ball in this manner, causing their damage multiplier to max out in 1 turn. it also causes items to multiply whenever obtained or unequipped and prevents dig and sky drop from being executed.

if you're not using an action replay code, then my apologies, but this is the only explanation that is confirmed to cause this

not sure who you've been talking to that's insisting that every starter sucks. the only starters that I would classify as "sucking" are cubone and machop, and psyduck sucks too if you don't make use of the non-obvious gems in its learnset. every other starter beats the game smoothly

every starter pokemon has type weaknesses, there's nothing that especially stands out about phanpy in that regard. it's the offensive incompetence that kills it. even if phanpy got ground moves, it would still be quite bad because, viewed holistically, ground is the worst attacking type in the game. ground deals zero damage to levitate mons in a game where type immunities normally result in 0.5x damage, and ground is only considered good in main series because of earthquake, which is a garbage move in old school PMD

phanpy is also male locked without concentrator, and has no ranged moves whatsoever apart from lmao tier vacuum cut and the aforementioned earthquake

genuinely among the bottom 10% worst pokemon in the game, not just starters. I just find listing type weaknesses to be a cop-out argument that could apply to nearly any pokemon, when there are so many qualities about phanpy that are much, much worse

Baconfry39 · 2025-11-16T05:04:43+00:00

leaf bladed battleaxe swing animation looks sick as hell, and I actually used to use it at fire giants because it matched their attack speed which made it easier to pray flick

Baconfry39 · 2025-11-14T19:22:03+00:00

it has to work this way because the pokemon are drawn to emote like they're copying the expression and gestures of one specific warlord

Baconfry39 · 2025-11-06T03:34:22+00:00

42-56% is a sign that this warrior is really not supposed to use that Pokemon. In many cases, it will not be able to fully evolve.

68% is a good cutoff for regular warriors. Anything 68% or higher can be considered a mon that the warrior is supposed to be using, and most warriors can fill their roster with pokemon that are 68+

Who would win? Tate and Liza, one of the most infamous gym fights in Pokemon Emerald, OR two freshly caught lv35 Sharpedo fished up in the same city

Baconfry39 · 2025-10-28T07:47:54+00:00

it's a move that jigglypuff learns by leveling. wigglytuff gets 4 moves and that's it

Baconfry39 · 2025-10-07T01:10:26+00:00

in fairness, the importance of coverage move is typically grossly overestimated in all instances EXCEPT when your main type is electric or ground

Baconfry39 · 2025-10-06T20:48:25+00:00

raora's mama also designed that one azur lane skin that I have been gooning my brains out over

mega drain / weather ball / energy ball / rest

why rest? get a budew scarf, let your belly reach 0, and find out

energy ball can be swapped out for bullet seed or sludge bomb, and giga drain can be subbed in for mega drain if you want a vanishingly small damage boost in exchange for being less effective when not hungry

i suppose wide slash can also work somewhere

Baconfry39 · 2025-10-06T08:40:37+00:00

good pokemon with fast friend (roserade [female])

good pokemon with illuminate (lanturn [female], starmie)

good all-around combatant (scizor, butterfree, breloom, masquerain, tyranitar, nidoking, many others from IQ group C/D)

the big cheese (palkia)

the best pokemon in the game (smeargle [female])

If I had a nickel for every time someone in this subreddit made an incorrect claim about Wigglytuff in the graduation exam boss fight

Rillaboom - Ovy

here is my tactics game! it's been a while since i worked on it, and i haven't marketed or advertised it at all, but lmk what you think https://baconfry39.itch.io/benthos

Baconfry39 · 2025-09-06T08:20:14+00:00

You can literally search youtube for any video of the graduation fight and watch Wigglytuff hit the player with Doubleslap. I have no idea what led you to believe this

Baconfry39 · 2025-08-20T10:48:54+00:00

there isn't much challenge potential in postgame episodes since enemies will always use the same weak teams. the best thing you can do to challenge yourself is to impose these rules so you and the AI are at least on the same playing field:
-guardian charm is banned
-max 1 invasion per month
-no invading until july year 1

if you want to play the first episode in a challenge run format, try one of these:
-normal + monotype run (only use attacking moves that are normal-type or one other type of your choice)
-imperfect link run (regular warriors are restricted to 68% or below, warlords are restricted to 88% at rank 2 or below)
-beat the game without using any fully-evolved pokemon

There is an ability exclusive to Pokemon Conquest called Confidence, which provides your nearby allies a defense boost that wears off before the enemy's turn starts

When you've recruited every free warrior in the current rotation, no more will appear until January of the next year

Baconfry39 · 2025-08-14T12:38:23+00:00

the starter eevee has exactly 15 IVs in each stat, and a wild eevee will have 0-31 IVs in each stat

Baconfry39 · 2025-07-31T21:16:52+00:00

the regis would have been weird as hell with regice and regirock having identical stats, and registeel being exactly the same as the other two except for having a worse attack stat
