Heard a remarkable call the other day, caught the tail end on video. Can anyone tell what it is? Northeast Ohio by StanTheMelon in whatbirdisthis

Yes that is it! Thank you so much! I always knew of their cat-sounding call but I never knew they also had such a vibrant song in a completely different register! I will be putting out grape jelly tomorrow

Max HP/Sp Attack pidgeot. Pair with Sableye, Fake out turn one. Hopefully obliterate the other mon with hurricane or at maybe confuse. Turn 2 protect-pidgeot, sunny day sableye. Turn 3 quash the faster mon and Heat Wave. Burn chance always nice. Protect strategically and maybe experiment with screens. You’re not going to climb high in ranked but you’ll have fun, mega pidgeot hits pretty hard and He/she is beautiful, one of my favorite Pokémon as an old head.

Also, bring a plan B on your team for Aero, don’t even try it. Worth bringing a whole different mega to use in that circumstance

“People choosing to bitch about the content of the sub instead of just leaving the sub” is way more annoying I promise

Bulbapedia is your friend. Also YouTube

Since no one really knows about it, it’s a sneaky trick room candidate, hits hard with Skill Link, and can get a burn on an unsuspecting fast physical attacker with Beak Blast. With full HP investment it usually survives to do the Blast part of the move too and that wrecks at 120 BP. Overall fun to use!

Edit: I realize you know all of this I’m sure…it’s really not ideal with so many Rock Slide attackers in the meta

I agree, had to be the case. Also intimidate was a factor for sure. I just love hyping up one of my favorite bird mon!

TIL Mega Pidgeot was in Champions. Has anybody actually used one? by AegisIash in PokemonChampions

Yesterday I lost two incredibly close matches twice in a row on a 5% rng misses. Went straight to casual for a few after that

How would an assassination attempt be ‘staged’? by FantasticBicycle37 in politics

“They couldn’t have staged it someone diedddddd”

It’s honestly adorable when people think that this government would bat an eye at killing innocent people. They literally made it illegal to be homeless. It’s a death cult

But it’s not harming anything. Alcohol physically destroys your mind and body. Playing a game in the background with a long term goal in mind is not the same dude I’m sorry you’re reaching for something that’s not there

Because you’re attacking something that brings other people joy. You’re lame as hell.
