This is that list !

Reply

Reply

I am stealing your text dump tho sorry bro teehee

Reply

For my own cross reference lmao

Reply

Hahaha I needed it I’ve been very confused lol

Reply

I have stuff for trick room and sun it looks like but nothing that can actually take advantage of the sun much, and a lot of snow as it turns out with Ninetales and froslass lmao

Reply

I swear to god regular zard with solar power hits harder then mega zard lol

Reply

I’m scared of regular solar power zard

Reply

Perhaps, I wouldn't doubt it

Reply

Solar power + Life Orb lmao

Reply

Yeah! That’s what they do next to whimsicott or something

Reply

I guess with the weather setters it’s less viable

Reply

It really disrupts trick room teams

Reply

Hard to get past that lead

Reply

Mimi incin it’s easy

Reply

But hat and indeedee suffered

Reply

I gotta make an all dogs team again is there enough of them in this game? Lmao

Reply

lol ! Possibly
Theirs a few puppers

Reply

I did in SV it wasn't very good lmao

Reply

Do foxes count?

I love Houndoom design

Wish it was a better Mon

Reply

In deigns his like top tier

Reply

Mega Houndoom thooooo

Reply

Lmao

Reply

Unsure about his mega !

Reply

Just that was available in 2015

Reply

I don’t believe it did much

Reply

No not particularly but-

Reply

I get it lol. Solar power Strat will be lethal

Reply

Hit so hard

Reply

I imagine

Reply

Yes. We don’t know much
Incins moved changed we know because their was nocknock off

Reply

So imagine what else has changed

Reply

I go on twitter and search Pokemon champions leaks then scroll for abit

Reply

Sometimes it’s good

Reply

I mean is there no knock off because none of the rental sets of incin had it or?

Reply

I believe someone got into the move selection on incin

Reply

Went to build their normal set

Reply

And their was no knock off

Reply

Yep
All sucks tbh haha. I do have a big feeling we have seen all available mons tho

Reply

If people have counted and there's only 151 to be found then that does seem weirdly intentional

Reply

This is what me and swerve said 12 hours ago

Reply

Reply

I hope we've seen all the mons I don't want to have to keep guessing and just settle on what I want to bring lol

Reply

Beat Up + Justified??? You're going to make me lose my mind lmao

Reply

This isn’t mine

Reply

But it is interesting

Reply

lol

Reply

If I see you bringing that I'm going to bring follow me with me everywhere lmao

Reply

Theirs 4 redirection mons I can count now

Reply

Rage Powder won't work on Whimsicott so it'd have to be follow me lmao

Reply

Oh crazy that’s 2 lol

Reply

Might be onto something with that lol

Reply

Imagine if they made an item that looks like those horse blinders to keep them looking forward and it had the effect to be immune to redirection lmao I think that'd be funny

Reply

I'm glad they're not introducing too much new stuff but it seems like it'd be a great opportunity to

Reply

LOL
Must be a reason there letting so de redirection mons in

Reply

I'm glad it's rare I mean I know you're a fan of Indeedee but it was kinda just like, whenever I ran into one it was like, "Okay either it or it's partner is going to press trick room this turn" lmao

Reply

In Gen 8 Indeedee-F didn't get trick room, in Gen 9 the only way to get trick room on indeedee-F was from Raids lmao

Reply

Yippee!!!

Reply

Oh I mean

Reply

I'm sorry for your loss Shiny

Reply

You can just run Male Indeedee now :)

Reply

Cause it's a good pokemon secretly

Reply

Male needs focus sash i think ? yeah I don’t like it much
Needed the setter crazy bulky
People pretty desperately try shut tr down

Reply

Mimikyu is a bulky pokemon

Reply

It will surprise a lot of people I think

Reply

That's when I start entering Trick Room Mind Games

Reply

Gasp

Reply

Just gotta not let metagross iron head it once it’s sub broken

Reply

I like this

Reply

It’s a tricky Mon
They can run scarf and it’s a nightmare

Reply
