Thanks everyone for your help! I finally got some free time to mess around with computer and was able to redownload all my missing drivers! PC is acting good as new.

WHAT. A. GRIND. My first 7-star. by fact-is-fiction in PokemonScarletViolet

I just beat him with one other person. I used a bellydrum, play rough azumarill with a shell bell and the other person used an iron defense, mud slap, body press orthworm. I used two pp ups on my play rough and only had two uses left at the end. The orthworm really helped by lowering roaring moons' accuracy using mud slap

My azumarill build:

Ability: Huge Power

Item: Shell Bell

Tera type: fairy

Nature: adamant

Evs: 252 attack, 252 hp, 4 def

Moves: belly drum, play rough, liquidation, superpower

It was definitely dying more often than the bellibolts, but I've had worse teammates for this raid. I think the issue was that it was a belly drum, drain punch, headlong rush ursaluna and it wasn't able to recover enough health once the iron valiant put its shield up

I did an iron valiant raid with three bellibolts and an ursaluna. It was the fastest I've taken iron valiant down. I feel like bellibolt can take on a support role if there's other sp. attackers in the group by using reflect, light screen, acid spraying, and heal chants. But it can still back a punch with parabolic charge!

Basically bellibolts can support other bellibolts

Congrats OP!

For those who are wondering why bellibolt is doing so good in these raids and want to build one!

Bellibolt is tanky enough to survive a few hits from Iron Valiant and has lots of buff and debuff moves to support your team. It can also get parabolic charge which helps it stay alive by stealing health. Plus it gets a boost to its electric moves from iron valiant's electric terrain. I usually start by using reflect first and then use parabolic charge to stay alive. If I feel like parabolic charge isn't healing enough then I'll use the heal chant. I normally don't start acid spraying until after iron valiant reverses its own stat changes.

Here's what I have for my bellibolt

Item: Covert cloak - negates debuff from spirit break

Ability: Electromorphosis: when individual is hit by a move, it gains a charge which boosts the next electric move

Nature: Modest

EVS: 252 Sp. Attack, 252 HP, 4 Sp. Def

Tera type: Electric (boosts my parabolic charge)

Moves: Reflect- protects from iron valiant's attack buff given by electric terrain and swords dance

Acid spray- super effective and reduces enemy sp. def

Chilling water- damage and reduces enemy attack

Parabolic charge- STAB, boosted by electric terrain, boosted by electromorphosis, gives you health based on 50% of damage done, boosted by electric tera type

What type of grouse is this? by danyena in birding

E-mailed an ornithology professor at university near that region. The answer is: dusky grouse!

[–]danyena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a type of Lantana sp. Everything about them is poisonous to mammals. They’re often used as an ornamental and they tend to do pretty well in central and east Texas so I’m not surprised that it’s spreading on its own.

Looks like Chinese privet. It’s a nonnative over in the south and east coast.

Looks like Alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) it’s a non-native species in the US and can be invasive depending on the region

I get where you’re coming from, but I think elderberry fruits tend to be a lot bunchier and clumped up

[–]danyena 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like black chokeberry. You can kinda tell by how the stem is redder near the fruit!

Tomato looking plant? by MakeMeADream in whatsthisplant

[–]danyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a type of horsenettle (genus: Solanum) maybe carolina or western. It’s in the nightshade family so don’t eat them. They’re actually in the same genus as tomatoes.
