    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    Even back in Red/Green, invisible text in the rest areas says that the Silph chief was hiding in the Safari Zone implying he used to be the boss of the dungeon.

    Format Discussion Metronome Battle

    I think bringing up Deoxys-Attack as the successor to Heracross as the next strongest mon is a disingenuous comparison, because Heracross wins games and Deoxys-Attack dies to a stiff breeze. My point was not that banning the max Attack mon means that players will just use the second-most Attack...

    I also used Dauntless Shield Tyranitar partly for the purpose of activating Mirror Herbs during the suspect test. Regarding MattC's gripes, I feel like if you just ban the best mons then something else is just going to be in the top spot instead, which is what happened with gamefreak's meme...

    7* Tera Raid Event: Tera Poison Swampert

    I think the actual best support build in terms of keeping people alive for group play, now that the set is fully known, is Wide Guard/Entrainment Araquanid. Wide Guard apparently blocks Earthquakes and Sludge Waves across the field even for allies in their own battles, and you can Entrainment...

    7* Tera Raid Event: Tera Poison Swampert

    Marill gets in on the Swampert solo action too. This clear is a lot tighter and relies on double cheer preservation as well as a trifecta of beneficial AI with Bellibolt's Light Screen, Arboliva's healing + Earthquake nerfing, and Toxapex for potential Chilling Waters. Even with max SpD, Marill...

    7* Tera Raid Event: Tera Poison Swampert

    Noticeably Swampert drops the DLC-exclusive Sludge Wave TM so I guess anything is on the table. Overall I find the choice of doubling down on Liquidation + Hydro Pump questionable, but it makes my job easier with two moveslots I will never see outside of the random double move phase...

    7* Tera Raid Event: Tera Poison Swampert

    I think the issue was moves rounding down to 0 damage not counting towards tera charge, which mainly only came up with Pikachu due to moves only dealing 1% damage before tera. That might be also why weaker Knock Offs might have not worked for some people reportedly.

    7* Tera Raid Event: Tera Poison Swampert

    I don't think that Swampert would pick resisted Poison over a neutral Earthquake or particularly needs Ice Punch to hit ground types effectively. I do not expect Yawn because it would be counterproductive with poison. A handful of 6-star raids have Knock Off. I don't think it gets the boost...

    Update: clasingla's profile has a new field saying "I like Pokemon". I don't know how this exists as I don't have it so it might be a rank 4 privilege. They posted a status update saying the same thing which I tried as well. Status updates seem to always require approval. There is a delete...

    May 24th - 26th: 5* Sandy Shocks and Iron Thorns

    These drop Sour Herba Mystica and Iron Thorns comes with Supercell Slam which is a nice bonus for any non-DLC players.

    Technically the forums are tied to Pokemon.com Trainer Club accounts, which I assume you can sign up for at any age with your parent's permission since the VGC Juniors division exists. The bottom of every Pokemon.com page shows that TPCI has been COPPA certified since 2018, so you might have to...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    The Metronome Battle players have made note of this phenomenon as it happened. Particularly this is more of a SWSH/Gen 8 move problem in needless restrictions, with most PLA moves and about half of Gen 9 moves being callable, but notably almost every new DLC move except Terapagos stuff is...

    I wanted to make a short update that CAP 34 is officially named Chuggalong and remind myself that the next month's battle count will be down naturally because of the outages, but also the equivalent of Toxic Chain counterplay to Mirror Herb is Unaware.

    Club Penguin

    I saw Club Penguin die, and I was playing Club Penguin before you were born. At a time I thought it would outlive me, but it was a wakeup call that nothing lasts forever and everything has a cost to exist. I dropped out of it around before Disney was revamping the whole modern artstyle and...
