have they not hurt us enough

No, we must make them gods of pain.

I feel like that's Kartana's job specifically.

This Mega Kartana must rip the fabric of space-time and create Ultra Wormholes just by swinging its arms D:

I have a Kadabra I want to evolve.

Do you already have my friend code?

Because if so, I'll help you out.

What's your system name?

You mean my character name or the name of my 3ds?

Whatever name I can find on the FC menu.

3DS games all use the same friend code so if they're adding you they need the name of your system. Sort of. It's really only the code itself that matters as once you add each other the system will change the name to match the correct code. Give them your system name though so they can compare it with the names in their friend list on the system to check and see if they do have you or not yet.

Egg hatching global mission is live.

Now if you need me, i have a lot of pokemon to Wonder Trade away because I have no room left in my boxes.

I confess I ended up not participating in the BP harvesting event at all, but I'll probably gonna help with the eggs.

I didn't do too much Battle Tree myself, but it did help me discover the awesomeness of Mimikyu.

I only accumulated around 4 BP. This was before I threw in the towel and resorted to using minor Olympus Mons.

This'll be much easier as I'm hatching for a shiny Rufflet. Again.

It's kind of dumb that most legendaries are illegal.

Like, oh according to the rules I just made up, you can't bring your giant guardian flatworm monster.

You can totally bring your horse-sized flaming dog, though.

I mean, fluffwise, the legendaries are all meant to be head-and-shoulders above the next-best thing, and moreover tend to be Single Specimen Species or at least incredibly rare, to the point where most people will never, ever see one.

It's not always that way in-game, though.

What drives me nuts is that the official competitions allow them despite their being unbalanced by design.

I don't know why they don't have a rough power-based tier list of their own so that the box legendaries don't make the competitions completely revolve around them.

But maybe that's what they want in some weird form of promotion.

Hey guys, I made up a bunch of items that you probably don't care.

I'd just like to see an ability that bypasses stuff like Protect and Detect.

It would be put almost certainly on a lame Pokémon, just for good measure.

-but those who use Protect or Detect will receive 1/4 damage instead because that's how Game Freak rolls.

Gamefreak really seems to consider the "box legends" which often have 600 total base stats or higher and the lesser trios and legends which have 580 (except for alola) to be in two separate categories. Despite the fact some of the lesser ones are just as good as a couple of the box ones. (I'm looking at you Kyurem, Zygarde, and Necrozma)

Guess that just says something about Gamefreak's way of tiering stuff. Considering it took all 4 of the Tapus to fight against Solgaleo/Lunala it seems to work that way in-universe too.

So, does anyone knows a good example of Difficult, but Awesome? I remove most of the examples before, mostly because most of them are terrible. The others left me rather conflicted like Substitute, Aegislash and Ash-Greninja.

My go-to will always be Dunsparce's Para-Flinch Panic, though that's definitely more Luck-Based Mission than anything.

There are plenty of examples like anything with Anger Point or any low-tier mon with a high-tier boosting move, right?
