Also Illumise

Teatime lets all Pokemon eat their berry. Could a Pokemon with cud chew or cheek pouch benefit from that in any meaningful way?

I know everyone with cud chew already has a better ability for doubles… so maybe not.

Once upon a time, there was a little Wingull who lived in the Hoenn region.

This Wingull was very lonely. He was never picked for any teams that conquered the mighty Elite Four- people scoffed at him and said things like “there’s too much water here anyway” and “you’d be fried at Watson’s gym” and “I have a Mudkip already”. So he would generally fly around Sootopolis and eat Magikarp, and do other Wingull things.

As time went on, the little Wingull evolved into a Pelipper. He proudly ventured out into the world again, popping up in every bit of tall grass to see if someone would love him. But nobody did. They laughed, and said much the same things, and even a new insult that stung him- “he looks like a toilet with wings!”

For months after months the Pelipper tried to get people to notice him, to love him, but nobody ever did. So one night, in a fit of rage, he decided to fly away from the region. Fly all the way away to lands far beyond.

He set off that night. The waves roared and the wind howled, but still the Pelipper flew onwards, and onwards, and onwards. At last he saw lights- lights glinting on a warm, tropical archipelago. Maybe he would finally be loved here.

But he was exhausted from the long flight, and when he tried to descend his wings gave out. Barely conscious, he fell like a stone through the air. Just as he was about to splash lifeless into the ocean, a multicoloured wormhole opened up and sucked him inside.

When he came to, he was splayed out inside a large room full of bottles. The bottles were purple and had labels on them- some said “Intimidate” and some said “Scrappy” and a few even said things like “Battery”. The Pelipper was about to investigate, when a large white deer-like Pokemon stomped across the room in fury.

“For heaven’s sake, Groudon! I tell you to lay off Kyogre for FIVE SECONDS and you disobey me! He’s surrounded, you know, because of all the earth under the ocean! Give him a break! Geez, I wish I’d never given Rayquaza that time off!”

The deer-like thing exited. The Pelipper breathed a sigh of relief, then realised that he was rather hungry. He flapped over to one of the purple bottles. This one said “Drizzle”. Well, maybe it’ll be tasty, he thought, as he swallowed the bottle whole.

It was not tasty whatsoever.

Still, the Pelipper felt rather odd in a good way, like he had the power to do something new. The taste of the mysterious new food was quite enough for him though- it tasted like dirty socks- so he looked for another one of the wormholes to see if he could get back to the sea. But as he was searching, a shadow loomed.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” thundered the scary white creature. “NO POKEMON ARE ALLOWED HERE!! BACK TO THE SURFACE WITH YOU!!”

It flicked its head and Pelipper was back to the warm sea. But oddly, it immediately started raining as soon as he opened his eyes.

In fact, everywhere the Pelipper went, it rained.

And people loved it. He was practically begged to be on every team. He was even taken to the hallowed ranks of something called Singles, where he fought against even the mighty legendaries.

He was even asked to go to a cold, rather stuffy island with his new fan club, which he happily obliged. The island place was far too hot.

In this new island, he showed no signs of being abandoned, and even made friends with the other Pokemon he battled with. He was a very good delivery bird, so people trusted him. And over time, he began to learn of a secret that two of his dear friends had. They were in love with each other. They had to be, given the amounts of messages in pink heart shaped paper they sent to each other.

Maybe, thought Pelipper, maybe I’ll be invited to their wedding one day. Me, the unloveable bird, finally getting to appreciate the love between others. Oh, how I’d like to.

But little did he know, the event he so longed to attend would change his life, his friends, and his battling fan club forever.

To Be Continued…

Sorry first time posting here is this is the wrong day but what if ice type got reworked to resist grass and water and was now super effective against fire. The logic being plants don’t grow well with ice freezing the ground or its branches. Water because ice is just colder water and it should resist that, fires because ice melts into water thus an ice beam would effectively be a water jet to a fire type. It’s still weak to fire because it melts but it definitely should be a two way super effective.

Yes, I’m aware that this thing finally got Brave Bird in Gen 8, but at that point, it was too late. Even then, it lost Return in the same generation, so it traded away its viable Normal STAB for the Flying STAB it should have gotten upon release. It wouldn’t have been good in Gen 5 or 6 even with Brave Bird, but it could have at least done SOMEthing in the lower tiers.

Hatterene: Did you try trick room?

Annihilape is meant to set up one or 2 bulk ups behind screens and sweep. tera water careful nature can help it tank special attacks and screens as well as bulk up already account for physical attacks. taunt is meant to counter opposing setup pokemon.

Klefki is meant to set up screens and steel beam itself to ko. I have been thinking of swapping thunder wave for spikes since there seems to be alot of major pokemon that can ignore thunder wave from prankster, any suggestions?

Krookodile is meant to also set up behind screens, but mainly to counter annihilape and toxapex, tera ghost to ignore fighting type moves, shadow claw to possibly one hit ko annihilape with the +2 from mirror herb if it's defiant, taunt to stop set up and to stop toxapex.

Lucario is supposed to be a special attacker, since there's a lack of fast special attackers and lucario is usually seen as a physical extreme speed spammer, I think the majority of the meta would attempt to resist physical moves rather than special moves, it can 2 hit ko annihilape with a +2 boost, it can one hit ko kingambit with vacuume wave, and get around it's sucker punch with vacuume wave, and it can 2 hit torkoal with a boost as well. as long as nothing teras, but flash cannon and aura sphere cover for eachother if the opponent teras to resist one stab.

Revavroom is meant to be fairly bulky and set up a shift gear, it's tera flying tera blast has a 68.8% chance one shot annihilape with no boosts on either side. it's main thing is to set up and mostly weaken the opposing team, I have been thinking of switching gear for taunt to prevent set up. I have been seeing tera ground high horsepower been recommended, but flying can take out unsuspecting annihilape easily, as well as be unresisted to the majority of the available pokemon. I also believe tera flying will be common, due to ground typing probably becoming popular in the meta due to how good it is into the poison and steel types like opposing revavroom, kingambit, and lucario.

Kingambit is meant to be an endgame sweeper, but I'm not too sure about using assault vest. I don't think tera fairy would hold up in endgame since opposing kingambit could use iron head to 2 shot kingambit. Tera dark can take 2 unboosted aura spheres from lucario before going down. tera water makes it a 4 hit ko with unboosted special lucario, tera water can take 3 unboosted hits. tera dark gets 2 hit ko from physical unboosted close combat lucario, barely surviving the first hit. tera water tanks 3 unboosted close combats from lucario. I think a tera water swords dance set could be better for endgame. should I get rid of assault vest and give it glasses instead, as well as swords dance? or should I give it tera water swords dance, replacing low kick?

I'm trying to build a usable Furret (I know it's trash) and with how wide of a movepool it has, I'm wondering what the strongest set I could go for is
