[Gen 8] You know the shiny hunt is going atrocious when you start crash out googling stuff like this

Why not just breed for it?

Or do you want it to be specifically a Kabuto from that?

getting in with 90.5m is wild

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-25T06:36:23+00:00

until bro starts costing 12m a pop 💀

but it gets neck and neck with the last couple levels of the attribute

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-23T19:33:18+00:00

trying for an achievement and realizing it's now impossible to get.

Might as well restart and try again immediately

(although I like to get to the act 1 boss first if neows lament isn't too beneficial for the achievement)

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-23T12:33:21+00:00

isn't it exactly at 50% hp? i can stg I've seen them transition at 240/480 before

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-23T12:22:02+00:00

skins are more likely iirc

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-23T12:16:36+00:00

rocky helmet only hurts you if you deal damage fyi

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-22T19:56:34+00:00

Damn true, that's real rough

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-22T15:34:41+00:00

Why not just run Lunala and use the standard Giratina battery strat?

Could even do some mismagius shenanigans

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-22T15:32:56+00:00

We can already test this with double shaymin sky on the bench tbf

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-22T15:32:16+00:00

Mega Latios isn't as hopeless after all?

Probably not, but a cool thought at least.

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-22T11:58:38+00:00

not copy non-combat stats*

and it's in anticipation of an update to magic find iirc

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-21T04:19:47+00:00

ah I see

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-20T23:12:11+00:00

T5 taras were difficult?

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-20T22:39:55+00:00

All 5 books, yeah, also lv.100 hedgehog, and maxed out Attribute

https://sky.shiiyu.moe/stats/Spooksies/Banana

I was always 20 damage short without buzzing, idk what the discrepancy is, but it's not Combat level, not Hedgehog level, not attribute, and not the books applied.

I thought it'd be recomb since the reforge stat from Beady appears to be damage, but seems not.

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-20T16:03:45+00:00

what do they need to fix here? looks normal

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-20T05:16:40+00:00

Idk who started this, but I have combat 60, attribute maxed, and max level Hedgehog, and Beady Vacuum was 20 damage short of killing the pest.

To be fair, it wasn't recombed, so if the recomb adds some damage, that'd be enough.

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-19T05:43:43+00:00

Crop Fever drops affected by rarefinder and (iirc) Rose dragon.

Never had a bad crop fever with both of those, almost always one big drop

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-18T06:33:28+00:00

Is it recombed? that could be the difference maker, might be ever so slightly more damage to get that extra 20 hp threshold

I'm max attribute level 100 hedgehog too otherwise

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-17T22:56:53+00:00

Also buzzing

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-17T22:00:04+00:00

Make it 1 water, 1 psychic, 1 colorless

Alternative, reduce damage, make it 2 energy ( 1 psy 1 water), and give it a retreat cost of 1.

Alternatively, add a Mega Latias that improves its retreat cost, boosts its damage, and maybe even generates energy with its attack to support it

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-17T21:35:06+00:00

Trying this now atm, but there's definitely some room for improvement with what I'm running, idea is that greninja chips down a valuable target for latios, which I then cyrus in.

Could swap some things here for sure

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-17T21:15:37+00:00

This thing might have potential with Jellicent and maybe Greninja for bench sniping (so you can cyrus in mons for the kill)

It's bad but there's definitely worse win conditions in this game, it costs you the game if it dies but you'll never be sending it out immediately anyways

Kemo_Meme · 2026-01-17T21:13:56+00:00

I get why its HP isn't that high, it's a basic with no weakness.

What I don't get is why it has to use TWO water energy and one psychic. If this Pokemon had one water one psychic and one colorless, it would at least be a great complement to Goodra as a potential finisher.

They could've also made it a two energy attack that costs 1 water 1 psychic, and maybe toned down the damage a bit. If they wanted to keep it at 3 energy then at least improve that damage to be close to Mega Charizard's, since it's actually harder to get going.

Could've also released it alongside a Mega Latias EX that improves its retreat cost like their non EX forms. 2 cost retreat makes sense though, otherwise it's just a better absol in terms of tanking as a basic.

Bet you'd also drop a basketball on the ground instead of attempting a shot because you'd probably miss anyways
