lol the dlc is glitching

i'm not about to complain, though, bc it meant that after every non-water type move that the reuniclus used on my vaporeon, her water absorb ability triggered and she gained hp lololol

#also not a glitch but something i love is just how much befriending your pokemon changes things #well this might've been a glitch but chien-pao withstood TWO heat waves with ONE HIT POINT just for me 🥺 #and since the dlc is all duo battles i was like fuck i'm gonna have to have ariel my vaporeon Surf #even though chamaco my skeledirge is also on the battlefield bc i HAVE to eliminate these two while she's terastallized #and CHAMACO quote AVOIDED THE MOVE IN TIME VIA [my] SHOUT #and i was just like overcome w emotion it's so cute #he was a good boy and he knew that ariel didn't wanna hurt him and to look out for her surf #bc she had to take out the opposition to save him and the rest of the team #bc chien-pao had just fainted from their joint heat waves and ariel was the only one who could take it #i mean jackie jr (the mudsdale) could've too but then both she and chamaco are weak to water #so really the surf was gonna get someone and chamaco said NO IT'S NOT I TRUST YOU! and he avoided it 🥺 #also still can't get over how chien-pao took three heat waves before fainting simply because they toughed it out for me #and the number of times they've all shaken off status effects through sheer force of will? amazing #i love this mechanic in the game it makes me so fucking happy #they are all my lil guys and i love them #ALSO i've been having to clean out my boxes to be able to fill up my pokedex in the new region! #and this whole time i've been like who from my original team am i missing? i can't remember! #I FOUND THEM IT WAS NIEVE THE ABOMASNOW HIDDEN IN BOX 35!!!
