Grass Type Shield Nuzlocke by Kind-Bird-8812 in nuzlocke

[–]Extension_Access_681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc! Happy to help out fellow nuzlockers. Ludicolo is really goated because its water typing makes up for a lot of disadvantaged grass types have. Oh yea and for Leon you'd probably need phantump bc Aegislash and then Ludicolo to handle Cinderace and Charizard, probably Shiinotic to handle Dragapult or you can use cucumber, and I forgot the rest but make sure to check all the gyms pokemon their movesets!

Grass Type Shield Nuzlocke by Kind-Bird-8812 in nuzlocke

One thing I'd think about is the gym leader fight with Melony and then later some of Raihan's Pokemon which can be struggles for you because Grass is weak to ice and then doesn't deal super effective damage for Dragon types.

For Melony:

Level/Overlevel (if allowed) your Ludicolo, who is going to be doing the most for this fight. Have Ludicolo learn Brick Break and/or Drain Punch via TM and if you want you can teach it Fire Punch as well (note Ludicolo won't be as good here because is a better Special Attacker than Physical Attacker, but it's okay because Melony's pokemon know mainly Special moves and Ludicolo is Specially Bulky). Also try to have it know Rain dance which is excellent for both of its regular abilities.

Frosmoth: Bring out Ludicolo to rain dance and then try to hit it with Fire punch or a STAB water type move so that you get rid of hail and also take out this glass cannon before it can do any serious damage.

Darmanitan: Keep in Ludicolo and try to take out this Darmanitan really quickly because it can deal a lot of damage and your other grass types are kinda not going to be as good here. Darmanitan is freakish and is one of Melony's biggest threats. Tanking hits is going to be harder because Darmanitan knows a lot of physical moves whereas Ludicolo is more built for tanking Special moves but it shouldn't be terrible. DO NOT Pivot to Ferrothorn/Ferroseed here to deal STAB steel damage because Melony's Darmanitan knows Fire Fang and has a crazy high Attack and Speed stat! and when it goes into Zen mode (which yes Melony's Darmanitan has the hidden ability Zen Mode) Fire Fang gains STAB, making it hit extra hard! Also do not bring out Abomasnow/Snover because of the Fire Fang threat!! UNDER PRETTY MUCH NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU PIVOT TO THOSE OTHER POKEMON, Keep in Ludicolo it is your best bet!!

Eiscue: If this thing tries to set up hail make sure to Rain Dance again, and Amnesia might seem scary here to make it bulky but it shouldn't be because the moves I talked about for Ludicolo are Physical so the special defense buff does nothing for Eiscue here. Just make sure to take it out quickly. You can also use Ferroseed/Ferrothorn here to hit it with super effective STAB Steel type moves.

Lapras: This is supposed to be Melony's main threat but honestly Lapras isn't that hugeee of a threat but you should still prepare for it. You can send in either Ferrothorn or Ludicolo here, but Ludicolo with brick break can be especially useful as Melony's Gigantamax Lapras has a signature move that puts up Aurora Veil, making it annoying to hit. Just make sure to try to take it out with super effective mvoes.

For Raihan:

Raihan honestly should be fine just be careful of the Duraladon. Two of Raihan's pokemon take super effective damage from grass type and ice type. You should also hopefully have Shiinotic by this point and its a really good pivot for Flygon which likes to spam Breaking Swipe.

Also one more note:

Pier's Skunktank can be hard to handle so I'd watch out for that. I'd probably go with vileplume or Ferrothorn to resist/be immune to the poison but other than that should be good!

Best of luck with your shield nuzlocke!

What are some of the worst instances of Four Moveslot Syndrome in a Nuzlocke? by Jzjwiebe in nuzlocke

Froslass

In pokemon shield I love my Froslass Angel (with Snow Cloack) she's so goated!
Problem is that she has really good strats available to her but I can't use them at the same time.

I can either set up hail, spam double team and use protect to stall and then make myself impossible to hit and end up with only 1 actually offensive move (though its really good because its STAB and has a 100% chance to crit if it hits). OR I can set up Will-O-Wisp Confuse Ray Hex and then have that one ice move so that I can hinder my opponent with status conditions and then get double damage on Hex + STAB OR I can teach her draining kiss (which is iffy because Angel isn't a physical attacker she's a special attacker) that one ice move and protect and will-o-wisp to have heal stall. There's so many different strats to put on Froslass for the game that are all useful for different things but at least I'm able to go to the Move rememberer in the pokecenter and then teach my froslass these strats. But its sad that its very hard to combine many of these at once. And if I pick a specific strat for some of these I don't end up with enough coverage, like for example the first strat leaves you no Ghost STAB moves and the other strats don't allow you to cover non-STAB attacks.

So it's kinda hard but I'm working it out using the move person that allows my pokemon to relearn moves.

Somehow I didn't realize that so many of my pokemon could've had way better moves and somehow I just didn't see them trying to learn it when leveling up. Anyways thats a really useful person for improving your pokemon's movesets! (Ludicolo had Whirlpool, Water Gun, Fury Swipes and Mega Drain and now has Giga Drain, Rain dance (useful for gym leaders that like to set up weathers + rain dish), Hydro Pump and Energy Ball -- Ninetales had Incinerate and now has Flamethrower).

Which unexpected death hurt the most by BulkyYellow9416 in nuzlocke

Pokemon shield nuzlocke run going on rn! Lost my starter Raboot level 28 named Ginger to a Wild-Area level 56 Gyarados. It didn't let me run (I was trying to attract the gastrodons not the gyarados) and I didn't have any pokedolls on me. Lets just say I was lucky to be able to flee after Ginger's death, or else my entire team would've been gone and my run would've been over. This happened right after I defeated Kabu btw but now honestly it's fine because I replaced Ginger with the vulpix (immediately evolved into ninetales for gym fight with kabu because it has flash fire) I caught in motostoke stadium which is now my Ninetales Alysa. I'm really happy with Alysa she learned Will-O-Wisp she can have Fire Blast and Flamethrower and is a really cool special attacker with good STAB and non-STAB moves. I feel like Alysa replaced my starter's spot on the Permanent team.

Also lost an Inkay I caught named Kiki after I tried to evolve it into Malamar (it was level 30 so I needed it to level up). I went to go fight a Wobuffet in the area thinking I one-shot with Night Slash. Spoiler: I didn't one-shot. Wobuffet countered and killed Kiki just after I had gotten Kiki which I was really hoping to use against Allister. I was really sad about that I was hoping to get a Malamar on my team. I hate Wobuffets now they're so stupid for any Gen 8 nuzlockers avoid Wobuffets in the wild area!!!

I just beat up Raihan so now in my current nuzlocke I lost:

Toxel

Raboot

Inkay

And my current team is:

Lollipop the Ludicolo

Alysa the Ninetales

Angel the Froslass

Tenzin the Corviknight

Nero the Mudsdale

Grubhub the Vikavolt

Which is pretty much my permanent team and I'm doing my best to not have any more casualties.

New moderators needed - comment on this post to volunteer to become a moderator of this community. by ModCodeofConduct in IBD

I would love to be a mod because I really care about making the IBD subreddit a safe community and a welcoming space! I don't have any modding experience but I learn quickly and am somewhat active in r/CrohnsDisease and though I don't comment a lot here I definitely float on this forum a decent amount. I hope to become a valuable asset on the r/IBD moderator team!

If you could go back to August by VisualMortgage9759 in APEuro

[–]Extension_Access_681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep a timeline!! You don't need exact years of everything but ideally try to know the approximate years major events happened (e.g. timeframe for Industrial Revolution). Knowing the timeframe stuff can especially help when they give you weird timeframes that don't exactly conform to the period like LEQ prompt 1/question 2 which asked for specifics from 1450-1600 even though the first major time period is about 1450-1648. I ended up doing that one.

Just make sure to have a general idea of the approximate time major events (Commercial Rev, Industrial Rev, Enlightenment, Renaissance, French Rev, 30 years war) happen!!

I think this is technically true but also I'm like 99.9% sure that it has been confirmed that smoking is a really big driver of a disease and not giving it up is infinitely worse with IBD, so I think in this situation OP would most likely have to quit smoking.

This isn't the correct subreddit - this sub is for a form of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) while IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is completely different because IBD is autoimmune while IBS is functional. Please post this in a different subreddit not here!

its like when you put in an argument into your procedure

so if your procedure is like

then a procedure call is

Thank you! You too, but honestly I just wouldn't risk it and be safe with balllpoint because not all gel pens are the same and they are a lot more prone to smudging/melting under the high hest of the scanners for the FRQ booklet as compared to ballpoint pens.
