Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Rotollo 2]

Dream Team:

Ledian
Scizor
Banette
Marowak (either version)
Hydreigon
Bronzong

One day Game Freak will buff Ledian and that'll be a cold day in Hell. Until then, this really is just a dream team.

At this point you might as well just give him an evolution or something since it would take an entire revamp to make Ledian useful, plus it would give him access to evolite which would be interesting, has there ever been an item that caused more mayhem than that?

And Guzzlord must be in nonstop pain given the world he lives on.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=msp1eRosE-YLiving is torment for poor guzzlord.

What the fuck are Japanese people smoking?

Since Eviolite I think Linoone and Corsola were the only fully evolved pokemon to become NFE, so Eviolite has caused almost as much mayhem as Hidden Power. You know, that move that GF yeeted the fuck out of in SwSh because it gave every special attacker non-fairy type coverage.

We 100% are never seeing any other defensive mons like Quaggy get an evolution after GameFreak saw what Eviolite did to Chansey. They tried again in a much lesser extent with Galarian Corsola, and I'm sure they regret it.

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

Nah, fuck that fursuit looking shit.

Say what you will, but it's signature move being a King's shield for defense makes him an easy slot for a dark type mon, imo.

I wonder how annoying it must be to see a eviolite Chansey team

I wonder how annoying it must be to see a eviolite Chansey team

In Gen VIII Blissey is for the first time since Gen IV(aka before Eviolite was created) is often the better option over Chansey. From what I can gather it is mostly because, due to the lack of unmovable hold items like Mega Stones and Z-Crystals in Sword and Shield, and the prevalence of many new items who make-or-break many Pokemon's ability to function at all, like Heavy Duty Boots, made Knock Off show up everywhere, to the point that more often than not Chansey would lose its defensive edge over Blissey, meaning it's just better to use Blissey in most teams.

I imagine they'd just do what they did to Beedrill and give it a badass Mega that makes it actually usable.

Or a regional form. Granted, it wouldn't be the original Ledian, but it's still something

I hear you, but one of the Pokemon you mentioned is from first gen and the other one is a trash boat.

First gen always wins.

They could base a regional Ledian off of the scymninae subfamily and give us our first bug/dark type.

Not according to gen 8.

 

[Dark Edea]

Not according to gen 8.

Or in TCG for that matter.

My cards can put a kid through college but they can't beat a basic form printed last year.

I saw a Dark Raichu deck that I want to try though. It looked like it might be competitive against newer decks what with blowing up your opponent's bench and all that. The newer cards are nuts though. They have more health and do more damage with less energy required. Can't compete with that.

It's ridiculous. If someone thinks the power creep in the mainline games is bad (It really is) just show them the TCG game. The strongest cards in the first few sets can't hold a candle to some 1 energy attack basics nowadays.

Can't wait till the power creep is so bad we get 800hp triple pokemon mega evo tag team EX cards.

What? Who's this fucker ripping off the best part about aegislash?

Obstagoon, Galarian Linoone's evolution:


See for yourself:


It's pretty good. Drops their defense by 2, leaving them open to an especially painful sucker punch.

 

[Ledian]

Or a regional form. Granted, it wouldn't be the original Ledian, but it's still something

Regional form is the more likely of all the options since GF threw Mega's into the trash and I don't see them giving what is essentially to the wider public, a random unknown pokemon, an evolution.

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

You say that, but look at linoone and Mr. Mime.

It is likely that he could get both a regional form and an evolution for the next generation.

There is always the chance that Ledyba gets a regional form that evolves into something other than Ledian(similar to Galarian Meowth/Yamask), though.

True, although what the direction for that evolution would be could be interesting.
