Huh. I was doing a pretty good job on the level cap I thought but now I'm suddenly getting wrecked by Eri and Arven whose teams are 5-10 lvls higher than mine?

[UnusualBoy]

Is there a bug or glitch on tera raids? I have done more than 15 in a row (5,67 stars) and haven’t gotten herbas and there’s a Surkist outbreak rn, I need that shiny Masquerain

I wonder if Future Donphan changed types throughout development. Khu heavily hinted towards her being  and explicitly said all Futures look metalic but none are  type. We already know Make It Rain had no drawbacks & Geeta's Glimmora was Tera  in the beta.

 

 

Maybe they didn't want a Paradox to abuse STAB Electric Terrain, since there's no  user to abuse Drought in the Past Paradoxes? But Miraidon? 

Can you imagine if Make It Rain had stayed with no drawbacks?  Goldenboi would have already been BANNED by now for sure. And yeah I'm pretty sure they changed Iron Treads' typing before release given what Khu said. It's just weird that Great Tusk shares a typing with Koraidon but Iron Treads does not with Miraidon. Also Iron Treads stands out being the only actual Steel-type Future Paradox (We deserved a Fire/Steel Volcarona and I will NOT stop saying it ).

I’m hatching eggs for a shiny fuecoco, I forgot that mass release was a PLA thing and now having to manually release 6 boxes is mind numbing 

[Dark Miracles]

Hold up I've never seen Clawitzer's shiny before it's so rad

 

 

Nearly 10 years later and Gen 6 is still finding ways to surprise me with its excellence wow

[artc0cx]

Toxapex is such a ******* tank  i love her, I won multiple battles alone with her

[Auraeolux]

Randomly came across and caught a shiny Glimmet that knew self destruct .  This is the justice I deserve after only encountering a shiny oinklogne in the past 2 weeks.

 

 

The coloring on the evolution is so pretty

first time I sweep with King after a dozen or so games (they forfeited but we'll take it) 

[Magickarp]

I thought it was odd Maushold was doing so bad on Pikalytics VGC, but she's actually #13 when u combine the 2 forms. Normal Tera Swarovski + Wide Lens Monocole Plushie give it to me  Maus KO'ing all 4 in the first match  Maus has won 2 VGC tourneys now, Wolfey won one yesterday.

The first match was such a kii, Maus KO'ing all 4

Not Maushold serving Pop girl single with a Clean Version and an Explicit version teas.

 

Yeah, and it being an Exputhra team was the cherry on top. 

 

OU is biT much for me right now with those Grimmsnarls Screens + Shed Tail + Hazard Stack + 3 set up sweepers teams nn 

 

UU is much better though we still have to deal with that braindead ostrich and some other hyper offensive mons. The Dudunsparce set is cool, but she lacks a bit of a punch still so it's mostly better late game unless they are really not prepared for her (which is not very common tbh).

People keep using Azumarill for the raids when they don’t work with all of them, I’ve lost 3 tera raids because of that

Have you caught the 2nd Miraidon? You can just trade that one and keep both 1 Miraidon and 1 Koraidon. They’re trading on Trade Link Code 0399-0400 ??‍♀️

I'm such an OT snob I want to keep the second one for Home

[Magickarp]

& that's the tea

Decided to try Smogon agn, and my first match was a nice guy who said "Gl hf" and "funny name haha" but i couldn't reply ha cuz i was a guest  but then she disconnected until there was 10s left and came back. Then suddenly my move decision timer changed to 15s including move animation  while hers remained 120s  wtf?!?! Anyways i lost cuz my timer ran out  how did i suddenly switch to 15s ?!

 

I was BORED after a 3 matches anws  (aka i kept losingback to watching poketubers i guess)

From the ugliest pseudo to one of the best 

OG Arctibax looks better tho

 

 

it's serving Haxorus' transition to 3D, cuz i think i might've liked ha in sprite form

The design is ok, but the main issue is basically a reskin of Haxorus or Goodra. Both bipedal dragons again

 

I think there are great elements like the face and the "sword", but instead of being bipedal they could have taken a "stegosaurus" approach and use his "sword" and other smaller ones to emulate the "spines" of that species. Would have been different and never done before (I think)

 

 

Also I get they added those "red thingies" to contrast the blue with the red but they look so flimsy and awkward...could have incorporated them or at least use the red accent somewhere else

Below BDSP? The only proper stain in the franchise history? 

[I'm JAVIng Fun]

I just got my game and my starter Quaxly is Adamant nature

[thatsmydemi]

Baxcalibur looks so awkward with just one of those things on his back. They should have added at least one or two smaller ones. The 3D model looks like it lacks something.

That giant thing in its back really ruined what could've been an ice godzilla

A shame

The 2nd stage is my fave, it is such a dinosaur looking Pokemon but Baxcalibur isn’t bad, he just comes after one of the best designs for a pseudo aka Dragapult so he never stood a chance.

Same thing happened with me so I just tried to finish all the gyms, battled Pokemon near the final gym and star camps and eventually got my team where they needed to be, but yeah when I first battled Arven (thinking he'd be a breeze) I was SPANKED 

[TaggedGalaxy]

Baxcalibur is such a disappointment design wise. The first two stages look so good but then it evolves into that abomination. A Dragonair into Dragonite tea

One of my favs tbh and WAY BETTER than Dragapult Idc. Baxcalibur would fit perfectly into Gen 1-2  

[Dark Miracles]

Yes I wholeheartedly agree Baxcalibur (its name alone )>>>> DragaPUTA
