That’s what I see lol hahah

daringorange-42 OP

I could just make a team of five + ditto and then see who I can copy to see what I need for that final piece on the team

fleetkernel-50

Not a bad idea

daringorange-42 OP

fleetkernel-50

Confirm your 30 are here

daringorange-42 OP

I used Serebii's list when putting all the pokemon together

fleetkernel-50

This is that list !

fleetkernel-50

Should be fine then

daringorange-42 OP

I am stealing your text dump tho sorry bro teehee

daringorange-42 OP

For my own cross reference lmao

fleetkernel-50

Hahaha I needed it I’ve been very confused lol

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

I’m scared of regular solar power zard

daringorange-42 OP

Perhaps, I wouldn't doubt it

daringorange-42 OP

Solar power + Life Orb lmao

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

I guess with the weather setters it’s less viable

fleetkernel-50

It really disrupts trick room teams

fleetkernel-50

Hard to get past that lead

fleetkernel-50

Mimi incin it’s easy

fleetkernel-50

But hat and indeedee suffered

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

lol ! Possibly
Theirs a few puppers

daringorange-42 OP

I did in SV it wasn't very good lmao

daringorange-42 OP

Do foxes count?

daringorange-42 OP

Perhaps

fleetkernel-50

I love Houndoom design

Wish it was a better Mon

fleetkernel-50

In deigns his like top tier

daringorange-42 OP

Mega Houndoom thooooo

daringorange-42 OP

Lmao

fleetkernel-50

Unsure about his mega !

fleetkernel-50

Just that was available in 2015

fleetkernel-50

I don’t believe it did much

daringorange-42 OP

No not particularly but-

fleetkernel-50

I get it lol. Solar power Strat will be lethal

fleetkernel-50

Hit so hard

fleetkernel-50

I imagine

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

So imagine what else has changed

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

Sometimes it’s good

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

I believe someone got into the move selection on incin

fleetkernel-50

Went to build their normal set

fleetkernel-50

And their was no knock off

fleetkernel-50

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

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

This is what me and swerve said 12 hours ago

fleetkernel-50

https://pokepast.es/1d6fa014ceb49e73

daringorange-42 OP

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

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

This isn’t mine

fleetkernel-50

But it is interesting

fleetkernel-50

lol

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

Theirs 4 redirection mons I can count now

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

Oh crazy that’s 2 lol

fleetkernel-50

Might be onto something with that lol

daringorange-42 OP

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

daringorange-42 OP

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

fleetkernel-50

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

daringorange-42 OP

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

daringorange-42 OP

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

daringorange-42 OP

Yippee!!!

daringorange-42 OP

Oh I mean

daringorange-42 OP

I'm sorry for your loss Shiny

daringorange-42 OP

You can just run Male Indeedee now :)

daringorange-42 OP

Cause it's a good pokemon secretly

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

Mimikyu is a bulky pokemon

fleetkernel-50

It will surprise a lot of people I think

daringorange-42 OP

That's when I start entering Trick Room Mind Games

daringorange-42 OP

Gasp

fleetkernel-50

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

daringorange-42 OP

I like this

fleetkernel-50

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

fleetkernel-50

You did enjoy reg I somehow :MausholdScream:

So yeah I’m just stuck waiting an entire week now

daringorange-42 OP

Does Meowscarada get Knock Off still?

daringorange-42 OP

I'm thinking about.....

daringorange-42 OP

Suddenly the way this team just looks like what you showed earlier- lmao

daringorange-42 OP

Because if I do Whim + Lucario then I can do Beat Up Strats and I'm like "Uh oh do I want to do that" lmao

daringorange-42 OP

Anyway lmao
