General Chat: The Smashening

OMG that shipname is the best thing, hope the writers get to use it somehow!

uhhh hypothetically of course since as someone who couldn't back it I have no idea what you're talking about.

Equally hypothetically: FG Axolotl, Lusus Axolotl, or something else entirely? That thing is friggin' huge, so I'm thinking lusus, but then it has a lot of FG stuff going on... maybe the reason Limeblooded trolls were OP was because they had an inbuilt affinity to FG powers, that would make sense. And Lusii share blood colour (bar maybe Karkats, I've forgotten) so maybe they get some affinity too. Hypothetically.

Karkats Lusus does share his blood colour, because the Followers of the Sufferer wanted to make sure that the descendant of the Sufferer would have a Lusus. It isn't quite clear HOW they did that though

Yeah, but it was never actually confirmed, right? though the dino-crabdad Jake shot bled red IIRC.

Just as long as we don't get any Cortázar-type weirdness with the axolotl, I'm intrigued.

?????????

Yeah, I've seen that before, and you have to admit the wonky colors make it look incredibly fake. Not to mention the fact that it's only using images we've seen elsewhere, and it's missing a silhouette of Diancie to go with the other Pokémon that are supposedly getting Megas.

HEY GUYS WHAT ABOUT MEGA SHARPEDO AND CAMERUPT BEING A THING BECAUSE ARCHIE AND MAXIE
i mean
if you look at them they do have some kinda mega [object]-ish stuff on them that could work
especifically at that scene where they throw their pokéballs
and sharpedo our god and camerupt would be the obvious choices for them soooo

So bad

So fake

So ridiculously unworthy of being on our glorious chat that I suggest we retroactively edit our posts in order to more appropriate content! You first Spark! Time shenanigans agogo pick a topic!

i agree wholeheartedly with this discussion

both the one that has happened and the retroactive edit one that hasnt even started yet

The future-former-retroactive topic, otherwise known as, until a better thing is invented, Furtumeretro.

Sounds tasty, like a deluxe ice cream brand.

the fuck are you guys going on about with the homestuck universe shit

how far out of the loop am i

the deed has been done. the time shenanigans have happened.

The time shenanigans only happened retroactively, though.

And because they happened retroactively, they never happened in the first place.

Well they would if you and it and myself followed through and edited our posts (if I don't it'll probably cause an infinite loop). So the previous future retroactivity should be happening now. That's, like, 5 tenses???

Also I really liked Paradox space today. I was sure the bunny did it.

jane was so lucky she got the crook considering her poor handling of the evidence i mean she wasnt wearing gloves contamination much?

So, I'm sorry if I'm ruining your paradox discussion but what would be better for my Alakazam as a nature, -ATK +SPEED or -ATK +SATK

Probably Timid, seeing as how it hits like a fucking freight train already. the things that can outspeed it are not likely to survive an unboosted attack in the first place.

Normal Alakazam should be Timid, Mega Alakazam should be Modest.

Well, I got a 4 IV, hidden ability, timid male Abra of wondertrade this weekend (It's missing Attack and Special Defense) which is almost perfect and means I'll focus on breeding my Muk now. I also got a 4 IV Dratini but that one doesn't have its hidden ability and it was obviously bred to be a pure physical attacker...

Wow, two nice catches. If you're not using that Dratini, would I be able to grab it??

I got a couple more nice things but considering I've send away about two boxes of Pokemons, most of which got 4 IVs...

And I guess you can have it, if you want it. Though I won't be able to trade for nearly two weeks, so you'll have to wait a bit.

OJ, before you do anything check the exact stats of that Abra. 4 is suspicious: It might be a 5 in disguise (i.e they were breeding for Hidden Power Ice/Fire and one of the stats may be 30. Check and you've added to your options).

How do I check that? Also, I think it has zero attack IV, let me check to be sure.

ALSO, when checking my woundertrade stuff I noticed I actually DO have a Dratini with its hidden ability, I didn't notice at first because the German name is so different. It's male with one IV though, so it'll take a while to breed a good one from that.

You'll have to check it manually - after noting its characteristics and similar, go to the battle institute and check it's stats at level 50. Then plug those numbers into an IV calculator.

The ranges can vary, but the more information you can give, the more accurate it'll be. I like Metalkid's IV calculator personally, but there are apps for Android that work similarly too (but not as accurate).
