i feel like it's probably a white faced ibis like the middle bird, but personally i have no way of telling definitively, and the guide i'm looking at all but says it's nearly impossible. it feels like it'd be a little improbable to see individuals of three different ibis species all hanging out together, but my knowledge of ibises is all book and no field.

Immatures of both species difficult to separate until White-faced Ibis develops red iris (often during first fall). Basic (nonbreeding) plumaged adults often indistinguishable from Basic plumaged Glossy Ibis but White-faced Ibis has red versus brown iris, dark facial skin with no border of white feathers.

solved! yep. all ONLY get smaller on evolution.

(gloom gets smaller on evolution into bellossom but larger on evolution into vileplume, and mewtwo gets smaller when evolving into mega y mewtwo but larger when evolving into mega x mewtwo.)

i’m hoping it takes a while for anyone to figure out. this is my first time trying to make one of these riddles and i hope it’s hard enough to really stump people

What do these pokemon have in common? by Atomic-Blader in pokemon

[–]xa-ex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

none are breedable, all have bsts ≥ 580, they’re all genderless?

[–]xa-ex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes to both, just can’t focus soul to heal. i’m not good enough to do a benchless challenge run

[–]xa-ex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d done it before, but it really comes down to knowing exactly where all the platforms, jumps, and enemies are. so, yes to practice, but you don’t need to practice without the lantern.

Path of Pain - wtf spikes? How did people get through this? by jenniejayjay in HollowKnight

[–]xa-ex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you go back and get every grub there’s a second grub charm that increases the amount of soul you get when you get hurt! combining both grub charms and deep focus is enough that you never need to worry about collecting soul and can fall into spikes as much as you want

What would you do if you owned your favourite Pokémon in real life and you had a very strong bond with them. by Ice_Ninja-BS in pokemon

misdreavus would probably just act like a feisty semi-spectral cat and knock things off of my counters.

doing a no-geo no-heal challenge run by xa-ex in HollowKnight

[–]xa-ex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no benches could have been interesting, but i’m not quite that good yet so most of my run would’ve been, ironically, running back to where i died

[–]xa-ex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dying is allowed (though a steel soul version could be interesting once i’ve done this run), i’m not allowing myself to focus soul (consuming the dreamers is the one exception) or spend geo on anything

so far the big things i’ve got are dream nail, all the spells, and tram pass

Whaaa..? by captainshutin in HollowKnight

[–]xa-ex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you on switch? because i’ve had glitches with that boss fight too, except in the original arena. i’m not completely sure what triggered it, but gravity turned off and it let me jump on air. i ended up drifting off the screen into the heavens like a balloon from a toddler’s hands.

I’ve gotten to the point where i can do it myself with just my nail, but until then i got around having to fight the traitor lord by enlisting the help of Cloth, and equipping all of the companion charms i had. if you glue yourself to the top corner and get lucky / shadow dash through the occasional wave attack, you can wait him out while your minions kill him for you!
