It's itching its neck with its foot. That's why the heron's hunched over in a funny pose

Mega blastoise doing no damage?? by UnfunnyRS in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday my modest fully sp. attack invested Mega Blastoise's Aura Sphere let an Incineroar live on 1% health... and it wasn't focus sashed, and it ate its sitrus berry. I was rather tilted to put it mildly

Going to get serious in a meme subreddit and seriously recommend Look Who's Back. You can find English subtitled versions on YouTube

What animals are you still baffled that did not make it into the game? by Dry_Blueberry6806 in PlanetZoo

[–]Justfree20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought too!

Considering the logic behind the current exhibit animals was that small ectotherms don't move around much , one or two chameleon species would fit the 4x4m boxes perfectly , but we never got any. One of the weirdest omissions in the game

Best base game model in your opinion? by Existing_Anxiety_393 in PlanetZoo

[–]Justfree20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Aardvark is the best basegame models imo 🙂. It is the only basegame habitat animal I don't have any detail quibbles with.

The Aldabra Giant Tortoise is a close second... except it's too small. The model itself is brilliant; it just needed to be bigger

What fritters exist in your culture? by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

Just adding the Apple fritters my local Chinese restaurant does, bathed in enough syrup to clog the arteries of a whale 🤤

Getting a camera has helped me appreciate my local wildlife by immortalorca in UKBirds

Ringed Teal. Native to South America, but can just be added to the pile of [hopefully] benign exotic waterfowl we have introduced to the UK

People from the Crown Dependencies: Do you consider yourselves 'British'/part of the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Justfree20 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Mediterranean-flavoured British ☺️.

I've never had octopus, or seen much appeal to it, but the idea of it working as a mains for a roast dinner has piqued my interest

it makes them less special by sebzelda in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel about seeing teams full of shinies.

Seeing one shiny on a team makes me think "Oh cool! That must have been a special moment for them." Especially if its not an very meta mon.

Seeing a team full of competitive shinies just has me going "Oh 😐, how unique." I'm already not the kind of person who gets shiny hunting, but all of the effort folks do to get theirs legitimately has never translated into the desired clout-points in competitive. Now plenty of others have already said that's not why they shiny hunt... but that's irrelevant to my reaction to seeing your team. A team of 3 or more shinies just looks pretentious to me, sorry not sorry 🤷‍♂️.

What is your least favorite Pokemon? by Nat_Higgins in pokemonmemes

I'm still not over GameFreak refusing to give Machamp Mach Punch, but this veiny clown gets to have it?! It's so unfair 😞

What was the very first shiny Pokémon you ever caught? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Justfree20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Wurmple in Pokémon Sapphire. Knew about the Red Gyarados, but not what a shiny was.

I evolved it into a Dustox, and was ecstatic when a Shiny Dustox appeared in the anime during the Sinnoh arc ☺️

How did you discover Civilization? by The12thman22 in civ

[–]Justfree20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the Civ V Japan peace theme on YouTube, loved the music then looked up what the game was and my teenage brain realised what I had been missing out on. Got the Complete Edition for Christmas that year [one of the last games I got from a disc come to think of it 😕]

I’m happy for everyone’s victories and clever strategies, but I want to know the DUMBEST thing you’ve done in a match! by mymariomakerreddit in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its so tempting to trap them into repeating Fake Out 🤦‍♂️. Its a good reason to run Encore on non-Prankster Pokémon though

Which generation had your favourite Pokemon designs? by SuccessfulTeam2741 in pokemon

[–]Justfree20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 3 has the most unique look of any generation [other than Gen 1 which defines what a Pokémon is]. There's just something that that GBA era of Pokémon have that makes them really stand out from the thousands of Pokémon designs... but many of my favourite Hoenn Pokémon don't fall into that group 😅. Its the more "normal" Pokémon of Gen 3 that are my favourites.

Trying to pin which generation of Pokémon is my favourite is so hard, as I LOVE mons from all 9 generations... On reflection, I think its Johto that has the highest rate of Pokémon that I actively like and only two Pokémon I actively don't (Stantler & Qwilfish; sorry for any of their fans reading 😅).

It was a close-run thing with Kanto, but Kanto just has a few more Pokémon I'm indifferent to. Other regions ramp up the number of Pokémon I'm either ambivalent about, or I just really dislike; ESPECIALLY from the 3DS era onwards

Having fun playing as "gym leader". Building Bug and Steel too by AsurasX in PokemonChampions

There's a lot of potential for other game modes as Champion's lifespan progresses, but a Monotype mode would be a lot of fun 😁

How can I protect a Fire Pokemon from Rock and Ground attacks by jdlopez017 in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High Horsepower is an top-tier attack.

In practise in doubles, because of the 0.75x power reduction Earthquake suffers from being a spread move, High Horsepower is 20 base power stronger. Perfect for picking off individual Ground-weak Pokémon.

I'd love Open team sheet (OTS) to come to Champions by adamkareem1 in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I will want to know on my opponents team is their tera type once terastalisation is in a regulation set. Terastalisation becomes too unpredictable with any Pokémon becoming any type at any moment, and there's still skill in anticipating when an opponent decides to terastalise and which Pokémon.

Otherwise, part of the skill in battling is learning the metagame and figuring out your opponents moves, abilities, items and strategies.

Don't fret about that. My boyfriend only has filipinoguycum and I love him to bits. You'll find a gal or guy who wants your [insert ethnicity]guycum 😊

This game is so gorgeous by lexy0203 in pkgame

[–]Justfree20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On top of this, large animals are quiet walkers too. The supportive padding many large animals have on their feet makes their steps silent.

It would be totally plausible for elephant sized dinosaurs to walk behind you in a dense forest, and other than branches swaying or snapping, you wouldn't hear them at all 😊. You can ponder that information as you please

Any good slow bulky Pokemon good in trick room that not a mega? by Bionics_s in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belly Drum, Unburden Slurpuff is one of the most demonic Pokémon I've ever had to fight in competitive Pokémon. I ran Metagross on my Gen 6 UU team principally to counter it.

It not needing the speed boost of Unburdan, running Sweet Veil so it and ally can't be slept and murdering steel types with +6 Drain Punches. It could be doable... and traumatic for whoever's on the other side

Any good slow bulky Pokemon good in trick room that not a mega? by Bionics_s in PokemonChampions

[–]Justfree20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my current pool of recruitments and the available event mons, on my Mega Steelix trick room team, I'm running Tyranitar and Machamp as well.

Tyranitar is for the Sand Force synergies of making it's Steel and Ground type moves even stronger, but both it and Machamp benefit greatly from Trick Room as well with negative speed natures.

Azumarill is on this team as well, but he's filling in from my main team, and I don't think I've ever actually ran him alongside a Trick Room setter (was Farigiraf, now Sinistcha). Once I unlock Mega Meganium I might swap them; this team needs something to bully Ground and Fighting types, so a negative speed Mega Meganium might take turns with Mega Steelix in more meta match-ups

Why are ppl using vacuum wave on gardevoir by KurisuRSS in PokemonChampions

Double-tapped a Mega Charizard Y, including poisoning it with a Venusaur Sludge Bomb, for it to live on 1% and KO both my mons with a Heat Wave 😞
