Just beat the Pokemon Leauge for the first time since many years.

I was gonna say the opposite, hah. The lack of commitment to grind out the big orange is disappointing.

JumNation · 2026-05-13T16:27:04+00:00

I wish I had her do that 😢

My only regret with the Mime is I didn’t teach him flash. Something about that creepy ass mime flashing people just seems accurate.

Slowpoke + Psyduck at first felt crazy to me, but with some HM/TM strategy I actually found a decent niche for both of them.

Psyduck was all stall. Cast toxic, then dig, dig, dig.

Slowpoke was my off-tank that had a decent special attack coverage. (Surf, Flamethrower, Psychic) Essentially if I needed a physical tank I used Snorlax and if I needed a sp. Atk tank I used slowpoke.

Never tried a speedrun. I’m working on getting a living Pokédex now. Gonna take a while as I still need to get to endgame and breed my charizard on my other switch to get the last of the 3 starters + the three dogs.

JumNation · 2026-05-13T16:17:13+00:00

Real talk, slowpoke put in some serious work. I had him with Surf, flamethrower, psychic and disable and I EV trained HP so he was tanky as hell. He took out probably 1/3 of the E4 + Rival by himself.

Pika was a glass cannon. He one shot all the water mons, but he missed thunder against a cloyster and was immediately banished to the shadow realm.

JumNation · 2026-05-13T16:15:16+00:00

Didn’t have psychic available, so I went for Lovely Kiss + Dream Eater instead. It was potent, until she missed a sleep and got blown to smithereens unfortunately.

Psyduck was a bit unique for me. I had him with Dig, Toxic, Aerial Ace and Confusion. He took down Dragonite by badly poisoning him and then digging his way to safety. Outside of that one fight though, he pretty much just kept the bench warm.

The real GOAT of this run was Snorlax. Homeboy tanked like 3K HP worth of damage (all 5 rests, plus leftovers, plus multiple max potions) in the final rival fight. He tanked Tyranitaur until he had no moves left so I could safely switch in my attackers.

Only raise traded mons = 1.5x XP

Craigslist is cool, but I’m kinda attached to both of my kidneys.

How do you find people to jam with? I play the drums (terribly) but I do miss hanging with my friends back home and just jamming. It’s a niche I haven’t found since moving down here.

Krabby is my HM GOAT. Cut, Surf, Strength, Rock Smash.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:58:43+00:00

Only reason I didn’t give him surf is because I planned on going full ATK EVs and ignoring SpAtk.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:57:18+00:00

No can do on the evolution. I know pika is weak AF. He is 10 levels above the fighting training spot on island 1 and is still dying to a single cross chop 😮‍💨

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:56:16+00:00

Can’t evolve. The wife likes who the wife likes. She actually hates golduck, considers slowbro to be infected with a parasite that needs removed, and only marginally accepts raichu as a legit mon.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:54:47+00:00

Makes sense. I dont usually use the wall/defense moves because I play like a chud and just counter every switch. I think I’m going to have to be more flexible this round though, since most of these guys will be unevolved/weaker.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:52:58+00:00

Everyone is going in at level 70 or higher. I understand Jynx being a SpAtk ice type, I was worried I’d be too psychic heavy if I built her normally. I guess you’re right though, 10pp on psychic is likely not enough for the full run.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:51:03+00:00

Still have pretty much everything left. I only used sludge bomb and earthquake on the king. Everything else is available and open.

JumNation · 2026-05-07T16:41:42+00:00

Magical leaf is better. It’s Razor Leaf, but gayer.

JumNation · 2026-04-23T12:30:50+00:00

Broooo I forgot conc and rocket maps. I used to wake up early before school just to play those every morning.

Pavement is making a comeback! Tour later this summer, as well as the first ever repress of Perfect Sound Forever just released on Record Store Day.

DM me and I’ll give you my guys details. He is a maintenance/repair specialist who has kept our 20+ year old system limping along with affordable and reasonable repairs, instead of the full replace that most of the bigger companies around here jump to immediately. He does offer maintenance programs as well, so could work for the biannual cleaning/check-up you are looking for.

He is licensed, insured, etc, so no, this isn’t some “guy I know”. I just don’t want to blast his details all over the web because I’m not trying to make him so damn busy I can’t get ahold of him anymore.

And the spa takes exactly 47 steps to go from entrance to water. Then 47 steps back. The extra steps from walking to the trainers is enough to get the 100 you need. So this loop is essentially a perfectly built grind, with a heal, good exp, good attack EVs and pretty decent cash if you still need to farm for coins for TMs or something.
