#pokemon moveset

[raskolnikov466]

Hey I was wondering: What was your first pokemon starter and what were its moves? I want to know if the Charizard with Cut is so common.

Personally I made heartgold with my Meganium Strength, Rock Climb, Solar Beam, Petal Dance

My First Pokemon Playthrough

So I've noticed in my time of talking about Pokemon, I've told a lot of various anecdotes that are all a part of my very first time playing Pokemon. I was feeling nostalgic, so I figured I would share what I remember about this playthrough for everyone to enjoy. There may be a tangent or two in there and people who have followed me a while may have heard these before, but hey.

For context, I believe I was about 8 years old at the time, and after collecting some Pokemon cards, watching a kid play Crystal at summer camp, watching some of the anime, and generally being a pretty big fan (I even have Pokemon Yahtzee burned into my memory for some reason...), I finally got myself a Game Boy Advance with Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, some Frogger game (after looking it up, it was Temple of the Frog), Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and, of course, Pokemon Sapphire.

I remember that my starter was Torchic. I don't remember why I chose that one, although I remember really liking the color red at the time (which I still do), so that was probably why.

I don't remember too much about my team or the general progress I made in most of the game, but I do remember Slateport City. For those who do not recall, in Slateport City in order to advance you need to get into the museum, which is blocked off by Team Aqua Grunts until you talk to someone in the shipyard. There are also Team Aqua grunts blocking the route ahead

Now, my 8 year old brain for some reason concluded that the only way to get past the Team Aqua Grunts was to intimidate them with a high enough level Pokemon or something like that. So one night, while I was supposed to be asleep on a family beach vacation, I beat down more poor level 13 Pokemon than I could count. I learned later what I was actually SUPPOSED to do, which led to me finally fighting the Team Aqua Grunts.....with a level 42 Blaziken.

And since the Name Rater was in Slateport City and my starter had evolved, I figured it was only appropriate to give him the new moniker "MAGMA MAN"

The rest of the playthrough went about as normally as tearing through the game with mostly Blaziken normally would go. There were a couple exceptions though. First off, at the Weather Institute, after I saved the day from Team Aqua, they were kind enough to gift me a Castform, but my party was full, so I couldn't get it. My 8 year old self did not read this. (Remember this, it will come back later). But I managed to make my way through the game, catching Kyogre with my Master Ball and giving it the nickname "LEGENDARY"

Then we come to the Elite Four where I hit a brick wall. I don't remember my team at the time exactly, but I do remember it was MAGMA MAN which had reached about level 80 or so, LEGENDARY which was about level 48, a level 36 Pelipper, two level ~35 Tentacruels, and some other sixth Pokemon I don't recall. And for some reason, I just couldn't beat the Elite Four with this team for some weird reason. The best I could ever get to was Drake. I felt I was utterly defeated.

That's when we bring a new character into the story. A member of my friend group at the time who we'll call "John" to protect the innocent. Now John had a very "uncle who works at nintendo" type energy to him. The group used to play Gauntlet: Dark Legacy together all the time, and when I got the GBA port of it, he convinced me to trade my recently obtained copy of the Pokemon Trading Card Game Boy game for a Gameboy-Gamecube cables, only for me to learn too late that it didn't work like that, and from there, there were no backsies (but then I got ahold of a copy of Pac-Man VS and Four Swords Adventure then I learned to emulate, so who's laughing now).

Anyway, John saw that I was struggling and he decided that he wanted to help me out. You see, he had come across an incredibly powerful and rare Pokemon that couldn't be found in the wild. He had gotten it exclusive, and I had never seen it before. It was called a "Castform". Now John had Ruby version, so he decided that as much as it ached him to part with it, he figured it would be a reasonable trade to trade this powerful Castform for the slightly less powerful LEGENDARY. I agreed.

And then he moved to Ohio.

To this day, Castform is my least favorite Pokemon because of this betrayal. I was so distraught at 8 years old that I completely restarted my game of Pokemon Sapphire. I don't remember much about that second playthrough, but there's a reason why.

This rival battle on Route 110 is somewhat infamous for being quite the sudden difficulty spike. And since I knew how to get past Team Aqua now, I didn't have an over-leveled starter to stomp my rival with ease. After losing to her about five or so times, I got frustrated and figured that whatever team I had wasn't cutting it. So I restarted again.

In my third playthrough, I made it all the way to the rival battle on Route 110. Then she stomped me repeatedly. So I restarted again.

This cycle would go on for, like, 15 resets. I didn't count, but it felt like there was hundreds. As I would keep on resetting and playing through the early-game of Pokemon Sapphire (which I had practically memorized at this point), I would start to take things a lot less seriously, sometimes picking the girl character, making my name random gibberish, etc.

Eventually, on one of these playthroughs where I started with Treecko, I actually managed to beat the Route 110 Rival Battle! And on my first try too! And thus began the epic journey of a girl named DE.

Now, I'd figured at this point that maybe only leveling up one Pokemon wasn't the best approach, so I was trying to balance my teams a bit better (I guess my rival taught me something). I was making my way through the game, and one day I'm checking out my best friend's Pokemon in Ruby, and who do I see in his box, but a Kyogre. I take a look at his name, and I can't believe it. It was LEGENDARY. John had traded it to my friend before he moved.

My friend didn't know that it was originally mine, so he offered to trade it back, which I accepted. LEGENDARY was a disobedient little bastard since I didn't have enough badges, but he got the job done. I don't remember the team I ended up using to finally beat the Elite Four, but it included my Sceptile starter, a Sableye that somehow knew only Fighting-type moves, and two Kyogres, LEGENDARY and LEGENDARY2.

And that's my first playthrough of Pokemon Sapphire. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it.

#pokemon #now that im done typing this all out a minor addendum #the sableye was from my emerald playthrough #because his moveset was Brick Break Focus Punch Detect and Dynamicpunch #And Dynamicpunch was only teachable through a tutor in emerald #anyway yay story time

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Ok so, before the indigo disk released I heard there was going to be people with competitive movesets, so before it released I literally made myself an entire competitive team. IM A CASUAL PLAYER 😭😭 and I just think it’d be really funny that carmine and kieran would probably think i’m just gonna stroll up with my usual team but nope swords dance + scale shot 💃 if you could write their reactions to the new squad I just think it’d be funny lmao

(If you want the team I made for reference, it was koraidon, ogerpon, chien-pao, blood moon ursaluna, armarouge, and a shiny slither wing because I felt like having a shiny so I hunted one lol)

- 🪑🥚

Bro I went into the Indigo Disk 100% blind so you can imagine my shock when I realized double battles were gonna be everywhere </3

I mostly had a "fuck it we ball" mentality going through it (which made some battles go on for WAY too long), but later I taught my Ceruledge Poltergeist when I realized almost every NPC in the dlc uses held items.

Funny enough Ogerpon (with Spiky Shield) and BM Ursaluna were on my team. He was an absolute TANK with the assault vest and he knocked out Hydrapple with a Moonblast

Anyways enough rambling and onto the request!

......

Kieran

He was expecting your usual team when you started challenging the BB Elite Four, rolling his eyes at the thought of you trying to use the same old tactics to defeat him.

But he's changed. He's gotten stronger and wanted you to be surprised by what he can do now.

Instead, though, when you arrive to the championship battle...not only did you bring out Ogerpon with her teal mask to (supposedly) insult him, but you also had Chien-Pao, which may spell trouble for his Dragonite.

He'll admit, you were clever to bring a Pokémon who could lower the defense of all the others and cut their HP in half with Ruination..but he doesn't give up yet.

Seeing a shiny that looked like a Volcarona but fluffier was certainly bewildering--as is the Bloodmoon Ursaluna you managed to tame back in Kitakami and the Armarouge who sets up a Psychic Terrain to boost its Expanding Force, allowing it to hit two of his Pokémon at once.

Oh, and apparently you have not one but TWO Koraidons, with the one you brought into battle being more brash and a fierce fighter in its Apex build.

You set that one up with a Swords Dance + Scale Shot combo that absolutely kicks ass, somehow striking your opponents 4-5 times whenever you command it.

Kieran's certainly gotten smarter about his team, but so have you, and he's livid about it.

It was like you enjoyed knocking him down over and over again...yet he can't hear the reluctance in your voice as you utter the final move that finishes off his Hydrapple.

You knew you had to win. He needed to be humbled.

But it didn't feel good at all as you watched him crumble and Drayton rub his loss in his face.

Carmine

When you battled her, she (like her brother) expected to see some familiar faces on your team.

Yet you surprised her (in a good way, very much unlike her brother) with Ogerpon, and she smiles and asks if she missed her, with the legendary responding with a small hop and a happy trill....

Followed by a devastating Ivy Cudgel that lands a critical hit on her Pokémon.

Yeah, she can definitely tell you've been training the Ogre a lot, but she's proud of how confident she's grown nevertheless.

Seeing you have both Chien-Pao and another Koraidon working in tandem is impressive, especially with that Ruination + Swords Dance + Scale Shot combo you pulled.

BM Ursaluna and Shiny Slither Wing are the only two that genuinely shock Carmine, as she's only seen one in myths and the other....she's never seen in her entire life.

But after the trip to Area Zero, she understands Slither Wings better (although she's amazed you managed to find a shiny down there).

Either way, those two are powerhouses.

She remembered you talking about a little lonely Charcadet you found during an outbreak, and to see it has grown up into a mighty Armarouge was such a sweet thing to see.

You clearly took the time to plan out your team before coming to the Blueberry Academy.

Carmine found your battle to be fun.

Although she can't exactly say Kieran will feel the same way..considering Ogerpon is with you and you have some new tricks up your sleeve.

But she figured he oughta find that out for himself.

At some point in March there was a thing where you find out what Pokemon you are, with statistics and stuff.

I then drew myself as a Pokemon after that, and even made a moveset. Used Gen 3 Pokemon for reference, along with the concepts of lightning-struck trees and charcoal.

#KPBR #fakemon #pokemon #fun fact: the head is actually sorta like a bowl so i can do a perfect headstand #also looking back on that moveset and wow y'all gotta hit me up with those tms pronto. i can definitely learn flamethrower i promise

giratina and friend

#hollow knight #pokemon #grimmchild #giratina #baby gira #poke mythos #<once again. rather loosely #this was not supposed to have a background #based on the jotchua and friend image. you know. with the dog hugging the other dog #thats what grimmchild and gira are to me in this crossover. they both float after the knight making fucked up little noises #they both spit 'fire' btw. but for gira its the move dragon breath #giras moveset is from gen 8/9 and it knows its first three moves: shadow sneak+defog+dragon breath. i mostly think its funny it knows defog

[insaneiceshard]

What if Rivulet,,,,,but pokemon sprite...

#I literally looked at 2 sprites for a second then made this #this is LOOSELY based on gen III sprites #i think... #I made this initially because I wondered what types the slugcats would be #and what thier movesets would be #and I have a few ideas for that #but im so rusty on anything pokemon so its alot of effort #But anyways Riv is a pure water type #rain world #Rainworld #rw rivulet #fakemon #? #my art #pixel art

[amelikos]

Spinel's Blacky knows Reflect as a move which is kinda interesting because it's not a move that Blacky learns naturally (in the game, it's learnt by TM) and while the two verses are different, it still stands out to me because it probably means Spinel went out of his way to teach Blacky a move reducing damage. In fact, even during the battle against Friede and Cap, so much of Blacky's style seemed to be about being faster to avoid attacks and the few times Cap tried to use a move that could have landed on Blacky (like Thunder Punch or Volt Tackle), Spinel immediately used Reflect... Feels like Spinel specifically trained Blacky to battle in a way that would avoid her getting hurt. I don't think Cap really landed a move against Blacky during the battle, because Spinel was so methodical in trying to avoid a direct hit (it also mirrors how Spinel acts behind the scenes and tries not to put himself out there too much).

Also Blacky knows Foul Play and the move apparently uses the target's attack to calculate damage instead of the user's own attack. Very Spinel-like move honestly, that's what he did in the episode by his own admission (using the other Explorers to attack Rayquaza while he orchestrates things in the background).

Anyway, this makes me even more curious about Spinel and Blacky. Spinel seems to keep everyone in the Explorers at arm's length and didn't seem to agree with Friede when the latter referred to the Explorers as Spinel's friends (context: Friede told Spinel that he didn't strike him as the type to rely on his friends' strength, to which Spinel was like "I am just using them"). He was arguably the closest to Agate, but there is still a distance there. Same with Blacky who doesn't seem to want to mingle with the other Pokemon in the Explorers (she pointedly ignored Onyx's Kyojiohn back in HZ027). It feels like they only have a strong attachment to each other. Spinel only ever shows affection to Blacky and only seems loyal to his partner Pokemon and no one else. I wonder what he's in the Explorers for in the first place.

#anyway spinel luvs blacky so much #his friendship evolution main partner pkmn who knows a move to reduce damage because he wants to protect her.. #it's fun how spinel and blacky are usually really affectionate towards each other #spinel giving pats and only apologizing to her and blacky protecting spinel etc #but around other people they are distant #i just wonder how spinel met his pkmn #also blacky's moveset is really interesting #pokemon horizons #spinel #pokemon spinel #hz044 #character notes #episode notes

What was Sheena's rescue team like? Is she still in contact with them?

Sheena: I'm very glad Requiem and I moved to Treasure Town, but I will admit I miss seeing my old friends in person. Letters and photographs are excellent, but something about sitting down for tea with someone you love is so very healing.

Another thing playing on repeat in my brain

[ask-obt]

Rune, do you think you haven’t learned any fairy moves because vulpixes can’t learn fairy moves by level up?

Rune: Um... Inigo, I can learn a fairy-type move naturally, right?

Inigo: What? Of course you can. What kind of pokemon can't learn a move that's the same type as their evolution? Baby-Doll Eyes can be learned by even a bunch of normal-types. And for offensive moves, you'll probably get Fairy Wind. That one is pretty common.
