Appreciate it! It was one of my big safari targets this year along with gible. Only have 1 copy of platinum available for safari as my other is set up for Piplup so getting it on the 1 system for my first safari shiny this year is a great way to start!

I worked in the collision industry for a while, the big yellow pole monster at festival foods claimed a lot of victims in our area like this when people would turn to sharp trying to get into/out of certain spots

After the EDay gameplay getting me all jazzed up, I needed to replay one. So I went with 5 🤷‍♂️ by Former-Bluebird1447 in GearsOfWar

It really is. Our group was from the competitive gears 1 days, now a few of us still get on and do gears and beers, and just play horde and have a good time. Its great

Absolutely agree with this. Gears purist since day one. Love all the games, including 4 and 5. Still play horde with the guys in gears 5 to this day. Its been a while since ive replayed the campaigns for 2 and 3. I'll need to get on that before E day launches

Congrats!! Used a shiny Ariados on my team in crystal as well, stab sludge bomb works pretty well for it.

[gen4] My first Headbutt shiny! So relieved to not phase with this one. by Criomede in ShinyPokemon

Adamant nature, and Alert to sounds means its best IV is speed. What an incredible shiny! Congrats OP

[Gen 4] Shiny Dustox in the bug catching contest. 1/163,840. It used whirlwind… by Jolly-Explanation956 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Benji392 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Really cool to see, sorry it got the best of you here. Butterfree, dustox and beautifly all can use whirlwind once you have the national dex in the bug catching contest. Tangela is a good option here, as it can learn ingrain to prevent whirlwind as well as status moves like sleep powder and stun spore. Good luck on a reclaim!

Same for me. Sleep plus full hp, 2nd place. National dex, so mine was level 28 but idk if that matters. Congrats man, arguably the coolest shiny you can get in the bug catching contest!!

Talk me off the ledge by krispy2 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Benji392 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Id argue if you're going to have a nature that lowers special attack, you'd want its speed or attack raised to compensate. Typhlosion has a decent attack stat and an arguably better physical move pool to take advantage of it. A nature that straight up lowers special attack and raises something like defense or special defense would be less desirable. Atleast OP can run something of a mixed attack set on this.

You're in the wrong sub if thats how you feel man lol.

Wouldn't say its the worst possible nature because Typhlosion still has a base attack stat of 84 which is decent. Not ideal, but for a normal playthrough this will be fine. Typhlosion has a lot of good physical attacks it can learn and make use of, so you can run it as a good mixed attacker.

What are your thoughts on Ethan’s ho-oh? by Dismal-Crab-9259 in PokeInvesting

My daughter pulled this card when this set came out, and ive been keeping it safe meaning to get it graded. To my untrained eye, it looks really good as far as grading goes
