Fun Fact for Michael Zebstrika now has a 100 power Physical electric move (it has a couple downsides tho) called Supercell Slam, High Horsepower, and Trailblaze
@Oscarus4250
7 ай бұрын
Those downsides, for people who don't know, are 95% Accuracy and crash damage should the move miss. Still, this move is better than Wild Charge due to not only having higher power, but also it has only "5% chance" to cause "recoil" instead of 100% chance; that "recoil" is much bigger, yes, but the chances are pretty low, so you can risk it

Hey Mikey, as a heads up in case you haven’t tried it yet, pokemon caught in the Tera raids are also excluded from the trial (I.E. your Rhyperior and Metang). I tried this trial with an Electivire and Kingdra that I caught in raids and wasn’t able to proceed until I swapped them out.

When he said “I’m not sure electro shot is a great move” about archaludon, I find it funny how electro shot is used on basically every archaludon set in vgc particularly when paired with the rain or power herb 😂
Man, Drayton was a fun character with a sick battle. I like dragon types a lot and did a Dragon v Dragon battle, and I won with 4 down. Beat Lacey with my dragons too with only my shiny Kommo-o named Kami left. Also NO, You can use any team members you want against Drayton. Good luck Mikey!

Mild Spoiler: Cheat cheat for the first Kieran fight: have a storm drain pokemon on the field from the start. Let his frog live and let him spam his weather ball. You'll be plus 6 special attack in no time.
This is BY FAR the funniest dialogue in a pokemon game
I got a shiny pikipek before even attending that first class. What’s funny is that i was battling a toucannon for a long time as it was really hard to catch, and the whole time i saw a pikipek standing around looking at the battle and i thought: Yeah, i’ll catch you after this. And after like 5 minutes of throwing ultraballs i caught the toucannon and the pikipek was shiny. Really caught me off guard. Edit: And now i got a shiny cranidos
DLC is really dope. I'm glad you're still doing the let's play!
Kieran now is Eren😂
It may just be the lighting and the fact that I'm watching on a smaller screen, but I'm pretty sure the Magnemite Mikey passed at 13:48 to encounter the Excadrill was shiny. I could be wrong though...
I think the very first game where Joltik bounced was PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond.
Gen 2 gave prior gen Pokemon evolutions and pre evolutions “that is why, it’s the GOAT!”.
Just finished the main story last night. I used the following team: - Zenitsu (Zebstrika) - Bifröst (Archaludon) - LeadPaint#40 (Alolan Muk) - SteamPunkSam (Flygon) - Dexter (Reuniclus) - Virgil (Hisuian Typhlosion) I gotta say, using Tera Fighting Archaludon with its Stamina ability is incredible. Investing in Defense and HP makes him a tank, which you can then destroy teams with Body Press after only taking a few hits. Plus holding Leftovers makes him even bigger wall.
