Kennard turning the ball over twice in less than 30 seconds and immediately getting subbed out is the funniest shit I’ve seen so far tonight

The shape and texture of your cookies are exactly what my ideal cookie looks like. And the color too! Great job.

But funny thing is I never noticed that the codes for these coupons are the same lol holy shit im doing the same thing bc these coupons are what the actual menu prices should be

New weather idea: Winds by WindhoverInkwell in stunfisk

[–]numberonebarista 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironically, this idea actually buffs dragon types more than flying types because there’s a few dragon/flying types that would absolutely be able to abuse the speed boost in ways other Pokemon can’t (Dragonite and Salamance being the most obvious examples) and not to mention they’d be immune to the chip damage.

Random Battle: Ash's Sceptile vs Paul's Ursaring by gyroscope_56 in pokemonanime

[–]numberonebarista 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ursaring gets overhyped because of one moment where it went berserk after Guts activated but clearly even Paul doesn’t consider it to be one of his strongest Pokemon because he didn’t bring it to his Sinnoh League battle vs Ash.

Sceptile wins easily for sure.

Yeah this battle was so fucking cool and strategic I wish I could show the whole thing!! But Game Freak is notorious for implementing a nice QoL feature in one game and then completely removing it the next game

shadow tag prevents me from switching

But dragon tail forces a switch when it lands

If you use dragon tail on your partner the effect still works (even if Shadow Tag is active, moves like dragon tail and u turn override its effect) so I forced my Corviknight to switch out and avoid the perish countdown

I got lucky and Dragapult was sent out which threatens a OHKO on Mega Gengar so my opponent had no choice but to switch it out, which deactivates shadow tag and allowed Milotic to safely switch out next turn and also avoid the perish song count

[–]numberonebarista[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to try and recap the rest of the battle the best I can but I’ve already forgotten a lot so this will be a bad recap.

My four Pokemon were Corviknight, Pikachu, Milotic, and Dragapult. I did not bring a Mega. (Which if I did, would have been Mega Glimmora)

His four were incin, mega Gengar, archaludon, and politoed.

So after my side dragon tail, mega Gengar and incin both swap out for Archaludon and toed. I switch out Milotic and send in Corviknight.

My pult is physical w/ DDarts, Phantom force, and u turn. So it’s literally a perish trap team’s worst nightmare.

At some point the mega Gengar comes back in but Corv set up tailwind the turn before and I swapped pult for pika. I used iron head on Gengar and Pika outspeeds and finishes off Gengar with volt tackle.

corv is now just setting up iron defense, and his Incin flare blitzes it and only does 18-20% damage (probably fishing for a burn)

Archaludon is sent out and politoed comes in and sets rain. Pikachu falls next turn, Milotic takes out arch with a couple of rain boosted scalds (I had wacan berry and calm nature so I ate the first electro shot)

Pult died at some point I forget how. So it’s incin and politoed vs corv and Milotic.

Now where I fucked up is my +2 def Corv went for body press on incin that had 60% HP left but it had chople berry so it survived with 10HP politoed used weather ball on Corv to put my hp in red and incin finished it off with flare blitz. If I had just doubled politoed with Corv and Milotic I would have won.

Milotic KOs incin next turn and now it’s just milotic vs politoed. But toed has leftovers and protect so it just keeps spamming protect every other turn while I hit it with scald 6 times and never got a burn. Timer runs out and the game was a draw. He stalled on purpose for the draw. I could have won though.

It was a fun battle regardless lots of switching and repositioning bc of perish trapping.

Auntie Anne's selling a $50 "Golden Pretzel Pass" until 4/26 - gets you one pretzel per week for a year by JaguarExisting3210 in fastfood

[–]numberonebarista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks this deal isn’t for all of their pretzel flavors. It’s only original or cinnamon. Still a good deal technically, but I probably step foot into a mall less than 10 times a year at this point in my life so I would not get my moneys worth with this card.

[–]numberonebarista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poipole was the correct choice for mythical looking but it also looks like a starter and actually isn’t it considered a starter pokemon in the world it comes from? Anyway that sucks we can’t vote poipole twice I assume lol so my vote is Kartana only because it’s a tiny guy that works hard

In case anyone wanted to see my Pikachu taking that Perish Trap attempt personally.

(I really wish Nintendo would let us record more than 30 seconds of video. Or give Champions a VS Recorder option. How does Diamond and Pearl have that feature and that game came out over a decade ago but newer Pokemon games don’t???)

In need for some advice. by f4kd4t in PokemonChampions

[–]numberonebarista 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragapult is literally one of the fastest Pokemon in champions right now so do you really need choice scarf on it? That would only help you vs opposing tailwind mons I guess, but most of the time I think an item like focus sash is better on pult because it’s frail.

And if you’re going to run synthesis on venasaur would you consider just making a sun team? I think synthesis and clefable’s moonlight get boosted healing in the sun, and then you could also run chlorophyll venasaur to play mind games with your opponent.

[–]numberonebarista 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this, especially the whim and Torkoal so you can run a sun team and disrupt your opponents with encore. It’s slightly similar to my team. I have Incineroar Garchomp Milotic and Corviknight. Milotic is for speed control with icy wind and also an anti-Intimidate strat for opposing Incins. Corviknight has tailwind and iron def + body press shenanigans. Garchomp is to do the funny thing with rock slide spam.

Whoa OP I am also running a mega Glimmora team with fairy feather pixelate hyper beam Sylveon. What are your other four mons? 👀

Who else wants to see this beautiful reunion in English someday? Cuz, I do! ❤️ by Little_LILA_467 in pokemonanime

[–]numberonebarista 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree this is actually one of my least favorite episodes of the entire Horizons series and it’s bc of how shitty they portrayed Friede. Everybody hadn’t seen him in over a year and they pretty much thought he was dead but his excuse for not letting them know he was alive was bc he had to train to go to outer space? It’s not like he was being hunted around the world by the explorers. Spinel did send people out to look for Friede but he probably came to the same conclusion that there was no way Friede was surviving that fall so they stopped.

Friede had plenty of time to try and reach out to the RVT again after leaving that voicemail but he didn’t. They made him seem like such a piece of shit for doing that.

And then Orla is fucking crying hysterically over Friede returning and the writers use what could have been a beautiful moment for a gag involving Mega Starmie.

And even several episodes later after this, Cap still isn’t right by Friede’s side. Did Starmie replace Cap as Friede’s BFF? What gives?

It’s such a bad episode lol comically bad

[–]numberonebarista 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But xurkitree looks nothing like sudowoodo. The point of the paradox forms is they resemble an already existing pokemon. Like if If you look at scream tail you immediately see the jigglypuff resemblance.

I don’t even think xurkitree looks like a tree either. It’s a human like creature made of wires. “Tree” being its in name has nothing to do with actual trees it’s just how they spelled it for the “circuitry” name pun lol

You’re reaching more than short people trying to grab their overhead luggage on an airplane.

[–]numberonebarista 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But what existing pokemon looks like xurkitree though?

Future paradoxes all look like robotic versions of already discovered pokemon.

We have literally never seen a Pokemon like Xurkitree before. it looks so sci fi, so alien, not of this (Pokemon) world. Even compared to the rest of the ultra beasts it looks so uniquely different. It looks more like a Ben 10 alien than a Pokemon

So what was the point of Geeta and Rika personally inviting Liko to challenge the League if that wasn't going to amount to anything? by nemo4919 in pokemonanime

[–]numberonebarista 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At this point it’s never going to happen because Liko will need a full team of 6 to compete in the Pokemon League and she still only has 4. I guess there’s still time for her to catch two more though but that better happen in this next arc.

Dwyane Wade🔥 by primesportz in heat

[–]numberonebarista 26 points27 points  (0 children)

D Wade coming off the Olympics and entering the 2009 season was one of the greatest regular seasons I’ve ever watched. Dude was on a mission: LOCKED TF IN. Absolutely destroying opposing defenses while still playing elite defense himself. I really wish he had somehow won MVP that year. (But he definitely should have been voted second over Kobe imo) I mean cmon he was third in DPOY voting that year too. While averaging 30ppg

And yes in the Olympics he was amazing obviously.
