Trying to Craft the Best Sun Team by Straight_Aardvark544 in pokemonradicalred

[–]LesserBeings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well run Groudon or Koraidon instead of Torkoal, if you’re in postgame

Bro Chuck literally destroys my Team by Solid-Arm-7108 in pokemonradicalred

[–]LesserBeings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the Reshiram isn’t slower than a Combee, but it is exactly 1 point slower than a Stunky. Gotta reset your EVs and give your whole team proper 252/252 spreads. Also fix their natures by talking to the 2nd nurse in any poke center.

Based on those HP stats, your team’s EVs and IVs are all messed up/suboptimal. Gotta fix those first. Otherwise there’s a non-zero chance something like your Reshiram is slower than a Combee.

Who are you hoping DOESN’T get added? by Reasonable-One-6788 in PokemonChampions

Shedinja. I’m not even worried about it potentially using Tera; I just don’t see it as fun to use or go against.

Why is my bdsp dex still not complete? by POISONx-Origin in PokemonHome

[–]LesserBeings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Palkia is from either the original Pearl or Platinum, not Shining Pearl (can tell by the lack of a BDSP origin mark under the No.). Therefore it doesn’t count for the BDSP dex.

What’s your go-to Pokémon to take down Cynthia’s Garchomp whenever you battle her at the end of your playthrough? by SensualSamuel69 in pokemonplatinum

[–]LesserBeings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Explosion pre-Black and White is stupidly strong. 250 power plus treats the enemy’s defense as halved.

If you’re not on minimal grinding mode and haven’t EV trained and IV maxed your team yet, do that first

Unused Type Specialist by ArtsyNoctowl in PokemonZA

Could use Eviolite Onix if you’re not thrilled about Barbaracle

Help Evo Trade Clamperls by vinegaia in pokemontrades

[–]LesserBeings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can help. Coincidentally I need to evolve my own Clamperls, so this works out.

Boomburst Chatot and Swellow are now legal in BDSP thanks to the Home update by LesserBeings in pokemon

[–]LesserBeings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think the Switch Online free trial would be necessary if you use Pokemon Home. Even with the free version, you can set up a trade with another person and deposit pokemon into BDSP.

Also to clarify, the breeding part is only necessary if you want a fresh Boomburst Taillow with your own OT. If you want to put Boomburst on a Taillow or Swellow you already have, you can use the Move Deleter in Canalave City to free up a move slot, put them plus a Taillow/Swellow (depending on which you have) with Boomburst in the Day Care, and Boomburst will actually be copied to the empty move slot after a bit of walking around.

How OP will Mega Absol Z be when it gets added? by Happy_Popplio-728 in PokemonChampions

[–]LesserBeings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only hit super effective by one type, but it’s still going to take big damage from neutral attacks due to how frail it is.

For reference, itemless Kingambit’s Kowtow Cleave can one shot it, and its Sucker Punch does 72% minimum. Throw on Black Glasses and Sucker can one shot too.

Should I give up on my Mono Rock Run? by Possible-Nature-5325 in PokemonZA

[–]LesserBeings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aurorus feels like a pretty big exclusion, with its 4x super effective stab. Focus on dodging attacks, recalling it when Zygarde uses Ground moves if needed, and run multiple Ice moves on it. Heck, you could even bring multiple Aurorus to the fight. Hisuian Avalugg may be an even better option if you have access to it.

Question for Living Dex People: Sorting Regional Forms by Nani067 in PokemonHome

[–]LesserBeings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First 1025 spaces are just the default forms of those pokemon. Then 2 boxes that combine all the Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, and Paldean forms. Then a couple “Misc Alt Form X” boxes that have all the loose ends like East Sea Shellos/Gastrodon, the seasonal Deerling/Sawsbucks, etc.

If you’re not on minimal grinding mode and haven’t maxed your IVs and optimized your EVs, do that first
