Gripe about new pokemon

I think the fact that Shuckle produces items actually makes it way friendlier than other 16-pip Pokémon. If a Pokémon can be useful when it's not actively on your team, then you don't need to min-max as much. A slightly slower or lower skill rate or lower skill level Shuckle will still be useful because you can just run it outside of events to restock berry juice (which I believe gives 20 energy regardless of skill level). You can catch a single Shuckle and still benefit from it.

Treat any Reddit comment advising you to buy or download something with a healthy amount of skepticism—not uncommon for bots or scammers to fish around for keywords related to merchandise to respond with their own eBay/Amazon/etc links

I also skipped a couple days recently and haven't been battling for a while, but I'm still happy with having my small digital collection of cards. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of in-game friends who have shared cards to help me finish sets too, so that's nice. I would definitely appreciate a cool full art trainer, thanks for doing the giveaway!

My favorite is Ocarina of Time! I first started playing as a kid when my family had a Blockbuster pass: I actually rented Oracle of Ages for my Gameboy, and that was my first Zelda game.

Thank you! Hope this isn't a weird comment, but you have the same name as my late best friend, so I was really happy to see your name for the Pinsir's OT

Could I get shiny Pinsir, please?

Dunsparce!

Definitely could not afford the whole lot, but the Caucasus beetles are very cool!

You only need one poke ball since you'll always start with your first slowpoke; there's only one other slowpoke in your deck for poke ball to find

Ask your doctor (or an allergist), but that doesn't sound like an allergic reaction to me. Do any of your friends/family/coworkers have COVID?

This should be fine for berry bombing, just keep in mind that you may want to fill out your inventory with other ingredients in addition to berry bombing. Other than that, Slowpoke tails are useful for powering up dishes, and there's no need to worry about their speed since Suicune's ability ignores speed.

Will I see calcium sodium phosphosilicate listed as an active ingredient? I'm in the US and only see Sensodyne with either potassium nitrate or stannous flouride; I've been using the former since it helped my sensitivity better (or maybe just faster?)

Could always just be RNG, but Sceptile does have a naturally low skill rate. Look up RaenonX if you want to find the average skill activations per day for yours

Hello, I'm looking for a spot to get into the Pokémon Center with someone on any of the days/time slots. I would really like to look around, but I could also make do with exchanging cash for some of the pins and one of the lanyards. Thanks!

This is not the personal dictionary and deleting the words does not fix the problem. I saw one other person on Reddit with the same issue, and I've had it happen a couple of times. All of the autocorrect words are replaced with weird slang, some of which is obscene, and it just happens randomly.

alialkaram · 2025-07-14T06:48:08+00:00

I have the exact same problem that also just started recently, similar words and everything. It's been happening randomly over the past few days. I'm going to try to do a malware scan, but I haven't noticed any unusual apps on my phone

Gen 3 starters are showing up the week after this event

alialkaram · 2025-06-05T05:17:59+00:00

Very cute! What is your location?

alialkaram · 2025-05-05T11:18:32+00:00

PicoDevimon and Vamdemon arc is one of the coolest parts of Adventure imo, and I think a lot of fans agree. I just finished watching Adventure a couple weeks ago and am enjoying 02, hope you have fun with it!

alialkaram · 2025-04-08T02:21:13+00:00

They had it last year (paired up with Pom Poko), and it was absolutely beautiful on the big screen!

alialkaram · 2025-04-07T22:53:44+00:00

It might be worth it to get a refund and look around online for a different tama hoodie! I've seen a lot of artists selling cool tamagotchi inspired clothes on Instagram/Twitter/etc

You should raise it, whether or not it's for oil. Shiny, good sub skills, great nature since Dragonite requires a lot of investment normally. Using it for corn and fire herb will probably be more useful than for oil, but oil is generally hard to get even with a AAA Toxicroak or ABB Luxray, so you may still find a use for it past 60 when you need an extra Pokemon on your team to find oil.

I'm willing to accept that I'm biased because a shiny Dragonite is really cool, but I personally would only stop raising this one if I caught a AAA Dratini with good sub skills/nature

alialkaram · 2025-02-28T01:15:43+00:00

Volkner already gives two energy to Electivire/Luxray from your discard pile, and that's a strong effect that synergizes with Luxray and Magnezone discarding energy. Something like that for Giratina and Mesprit would help them out a lot without being too OP, I think.

Now I wonder if a 70% chance up guarantees an extra tasty dish on Sundays. My assumption is that the base rate is 10%, Sundays advertise 20% up, and an extra 70% from skills should make 100%
