My Country Is Experiencing A Traumatic Natural Disaster.

Here's one for all you Pokémon nerds.

A while back I saw someone ask if it was possible to OHKO a level 100 Pokémon with a level 1 Pokémon. The answer to that was, indeed, yes. There are some incredibly frail pokemon out there with almost non existent defensive stats that even at level 100, pale to other mons at half that level. So I decided to take the question further.

So I posit: is it possible to defeat a level 100 Blissey, the most specially defensive Pokémon to exist, in a single hit from a level 1 special attacker? I grabbed a friend and we got on Showdown to test the idea.

Lo and behold, the fruits of our labor:

Everything done in this replay is completely possible in-game.

i tried to imagine something like this for the new ones and all i could think of is that image with eminem saying “woe, chien be upon ye”

Pokémon headcanon:

Instead of regular swear words or using the Lord’s name in vain, characters in the Pokémon use curses that feature Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. They also do this for blessings as well, or any situation where you would want to swear.

Examples:

“Arceus” : catchall curse. (“Dear Arceus” , “I swear to Arceus”)

“By Dialga, I hate changing time zones.”

Of course these curses and blessings can also vary by region.

“May Zekrom smite you where you stand” (Unova)

“Giratina’s curses be upon ye” (Sinnoh)

“May Xerneas grant you good health and long life” (Kalos)

“Rayquaza, put an end to Kyogre and Groudon’s wrath” (Hoenn, during rain season and earthquake season)

“Ho-Oh’s blessings be upon ye” (Johto)

“May Lugia watch over you” (also Johto)

Sinnohan high schooler studying for a math test: “Uxie, grant me the knowledge to ace this test. Azelf, grant me the willpower to study for this test. Mesprit, grant me any emotions other than frustration with how hard pre-calculus is.”

“By Latios this cannot be happening” (Hoenn)

Requesting drabble with Dawn and her crush/future s/o confronting Mars at Lake Verity, and when Mars calls them a “lovey-dovey couple to the rescue”, how does Dawn react to her crush casually saying that’s not true because they haven’t had the chance to confess to Dawn yet?

I’m terribly sorry that it took me so long to finish this one! I’m still not 100 % satisfied with the way it turned out but I hope you enjoy it nevertheless and have fun reading. 

Love birds – Dawn x reader

It was one thing to be in love with someone. It was weird and wonderful at the same time, feeling her heart skip a beat whenever she saw her crush or heard them laugh. It was a whole different story to be in love with someone Dawn had known for so many years no without ever noticing how much they meant to her – until that person had leaned forward to press a kiss to her cheek that one day to thank her for her help. She still got goosebumps when she thought about it. And soon after, she started to feel terrible because she didn’t have the courage to confess her feelings to you.

It was awkward to be around you after that incident. Not because your behavior changed or because you acted like you didn’t care for her but because she spent most of the time analyzing every word you said and every move you made, just to figure out whether she was more than a friend to you or not. She knew that the kiss probably didn’t mean anything. But Dawn still couldn’t get it out of her head, no matter how hard she tried.

She even thought about it now, despite having other things to focus on – for example stopping Team Galactic from putting their crazy plans into action. She knew that there wasn’t much she could do to stop them but she just couldn’t sit around and wait until someone else took care of them. She needed to protect Sinnoh, her family, her home… and you.

spear pasta.

chat i finally have on opportunity to join the f/o merch club but i'm a little worried bc my main changes so often and like ehat if they change again before the thingy gets here

gonna try to sound smart here

○ looking at HOME's listed teammates, they seem to have general Urshifu problems, so Tera Fairy can be used to essentially "trap" down an Urshifu on Close Combat/Wicked Blow if Sui doesn't have a Substitute, trading a little HP to gain advantage (of course, made less relevant with Sub)

○ HOME also lists Chien-Pao and Urshifu-Rapid as common defeats, which it can't do without losing huge chunks of health unless it Teras

○ while this can also be taken care of by Grass for example, Ogerpon, Serperior and Garganacl are all listed above #25 in RegF Singles and each threaten a Sub-less Suicune in their own ways, but Tera can be used to escape this and retaliate and Fairy is overall a better type than Grass due to more general resistances and an occasionally useful immunity (although the top Dragon type - Dragonite - only runs Scale Shot 33% or Outrage 14.5%, while the other two above #25 don't even run damaging ones more than 35% of the time)

also i seriously want to point out how funny this is to me: bro thinks he's Ting-Lu

hey so question

can any competitive players who aren’t stupid like me explain why Suicune has over 70% usage on Tera Fairy in Reg F Singles because I’m interested in using Suicune and I am very confused

Tera Blast isn’t in its most used moves and I don’t really see the defensive benefit of Tera Fairy on a pure Water type over something like Grass

I really just don’t get the point of it but I can tell I must be missing something because it’s so common and it’s bugging me lmao

Folks on this site are posting long-winded character analyses of some guy named “Silver” with zero context and I genuinely cannot tell whether they’re talking about Black Sails or Sonic the Hedgehog.

not to brag or anything but

did it again -- fully maxed Lumineon is actually terrifying

hey. just licked my neighbour. how do I pin this on my 11 gengars

a guy who owns 11 gengars is a guy who is Well Versed in psychological terrorism
