I use Amulet Coin Gholdengo with Make It Rain for those tournaments. At level 100, Make It Rain hits every mon for KOs with Nasty Plot boosts. Very good way to get money.

Next 7 star Tera Raid is Delphox with a Fairy Tera. It runs from July 7-9 and again from July 14-16

All 3 Kalos starters are now in the game! Too bad we cant go to Kalos...

Solo Armarouge with Psychic Tera on the 1st try for Delphox in Scarlet and than Violet. Thanks goes to Reddit user tikun that started the topic.

 

[Tsukiko]

I've chosen Sprigatito since I love cats very much! I've already finished the game but havent got into the raids and only got the scorbunny one! I'll probably do Delphox later when I get my catridge for Violet!

I managed to get a Magician Fennekin in a regular Pokeball from the GTS because how many were requesting Ursalunas at the time. I still don't want to give up the Blissey raids because of the generous Shard and Exp Candy drops. However, if I did want to do the Delphox raid I would go with Heatran with a Steel tera

 

[Midoriya]

Just beat the Delphox raid in the nick of time, and won on my very first try using Heatran!

Spoiler: raid pictures

Also, here's my new competitive team that I'm going to try out next season. It's literally perfect for me seeing as I love Fire, Dragon, and Steel types.

Spoiler: competitive team

Next 7 Star Tera is Rillaboom with a Normal tera! It runs from July 28 to July 30 and repeats again from August 4 to August 6.

With Rillaboom, all Galarian starters will be in the game. I imagine the Normal tera will be for moves like Boomburst so Ghosts should do well.

Could I possibly pop over to someone to evolve a Finizen pod? I've managed to get one of each language, now I just need to evolve them into Palafins. I'll have them all ready to evolve via XP candy.

I can help if you still need it!

A Charizard based on Friede's Charizard in the new anime is now live. It has a Dark Tera and the moves Crunch, Flare Blitz, Acrobatics and Belly Drum. It can be obtained with the code DARKTERA0006

Its another Charizard so its nothing new but I find it interesting that it has a Dark Tera.

So for my second playthrough of the game I decided to try a baby only challenge run I want to see if I can beat the game with a baby team (not necessarily the post-game, just get to Top Champion Geeta and defeat her, which also includes defeating Nemona during her Champion ranked battle in Mesagoza)

So yeah let's introduce the babies!

First up, Sushi the Oshawott of course my most favorite baby EVER he's a little G look at him rockin' that Scalchop I always name every Oshawott I use in any game Sushi. And there's Nabnut the Skwovet, he a chonky boy ready to take a bite outta his foes (and he's got his eye on my Bounsweet too, since she's pretty much a tasty, juicy fruit) They are just TOO precious

Next we have Mangorita the Bounsweet and Sherry the Mareep aka vitamin C and cotton candy. Lastly, there's Sylvia the Flabebe who is just there to deal with dragons lol and Polterpup the Greavard with the hidden ability Fluffy, so while he can't take a fire move he can definitely tank physical attacks much better. So yeah that's the dream team! I'll be alternating between having them hold Everstones and then giving them beneficial held items during major fights, such as versus Gym Leaders, Team Star Bosses and the Titan Pokémon. Let's see how far these babies can go!

Now, here are some obligatory too cute photos of the baby squad frolicking and happy to be free in the great outdoors

Oshawott has no business being THIS cute omg

​

So gosh darn adorable, I can't stand it seriously the cutest Route 1 normal type we have ever had. Such a simple, basic design but that's why I love it so much.

​

Sylvia she so tiny!

No, Polterpup! She's a friend, not food!

​

Sherry and Mangorita praising the sun. Just another typical day

​

It began to rain during the picnic.....but while my girl is upset, Sushi over there as happy as can be!

​

I took Sushi to the beach! He loves swimming! But a missed opportunity by Game Freak was to have Oshawott swim on his back, much like an otter does irl

Sushi is such an MVP! We took on the Fire Squad so of course he dominated

Here's where we're at so far in terms of levels! We're about halfway through our journey! About to fight that boss mon as I like to call them. It's a Lv. 65 Tsareena. Can we do it??

​

Yes we can!!! never underestimate the power of babies and Battle Items aka drugs lol

We even took on the False Dragon Titan! My babies will go down as legends.

As proof of our accomplishments so far. Here's the order we've taken, beating the False Dragon shortly after defeating Iono.

Will update with more pics once we reach the Pokémon League! I'm actually having a lot of fun with this, it's pretty tough. I think this is how ScarVio were meant to be played, to counter how easy the games are overall lol definitely won't be easy taking on the big leagues with just babies though, especially the Professor Sada battle, but we're going to give it an honest effort.

 

[Mr.Fox]

I do like my Greedents, so Skwovets get in by association

 

[Halloqueen]

Between now and August 18, 2023 @ 14:59 UTC, players are able to acquire a shiny Grimmsnarl by connecting to the Internet via the in-game Poké Portal, choosing the Mystery Gift option, choosing the Get with Code/Password option and inputting the code:

THA12022CHAMP

Be sure to grab yours while you can if you're interested.

I'm still torn on getting these games or not, I feel like we're close to new entries anyways but also I skipped on arceus and swsh dlc so it's been a while

If you're trying to get back into Pokemon then sadly these games ain't it. They're really poorly optimized and some of the glitchiest triple A games ever published by Nintendo. Honestly pretty embarrassing for Game Freak. That said, the story was decent and I liked the school setting. Plus they managed to have at least 1 well developed character (Arven). So if you're casually into Pokemon, you may enjoy it, but the game is very mid.

Update on my baby only challenge run!

Sushi the Oshawott - Eviolite + Shell Armor (best strength is the ability to block crits and overall tank big hits)
Nabnut the Skwovet - Leftovers + Protect + Dig (used alternatively to heal a bit of extra HP every turn) + Super Fang to reliably bring foes to half health no matter how bulky they are, and Counter to hit foes back HARD.
Mangorita the Bounsweet - Muscle Band + Protect (to scout threats and whether I should use a X Defense or X Spec. Defense)
Sherry the Mareep - Light Clay + Reflect and Light Screen + Static (potential to paralyze foes attacking directly. Boosting defenses for the rest of the team while safely switching out with Volt Switch)
Sylvia the Flabebe - Wise Glasses + Calm Mind + Baton Pass (can wall special attacks while setting up to pass along stat boosts to another teammate)
Polterpup the Greavard - Rocky Helmet + Fluffy + Yawn (best strength is the ability to take half damage from direct contact attacks while inflicting chip damage with Rocky Helmet. Makes a huge difference in tight situations)

We fought and beat all the Gym Leaders, Team Star Bosses and Titans. It wasn't easy, though. We encountered some scary surprises, and the fights were becoming tougher and tougher along the way. But with the right strats, held items and movesets (and of course, luck) we managed to succeed! Now, we're on our way to the championships. Here are some of highlights of our adventure!

How can one little flower fairy be so strong? By being able to sponge up those specials hits like they're nothing, that's how! Who needs Sylveon when you can sweep with a Flabebe.

Those Titans messed with the wrong babies. Good job, Mangorita and Nabnut!

Hello, lv. 65 death mon​

Goodbye, lv. 65 death mon. You can't touch this ghost puppo. LITERALLY ​

What's that, lv. 75 pants doggo? You think you can touch the ghost puppo?​

See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.​

Baby squad 'bout to take on the league.​

Sushi's thinking, "Ay yo, that's a big boy" seriously though, I couldn't get over how tiny Sushi was compared to Baxcalibur lol​

Babies just put the smackdown on Geeta, putting her in her place after all her smack talk during the fight. btw Opportunist Espathra is so BROKEN​

So you want to keep using Flower Trick on my beefy little Skwovet with Counter, huh.... You bad, Nemona.​

Just two good boys playing rough

Skwovet: the true menace of Paldea, folks.

AND WE DID IT LET'S GOOOOOOO ​

So yeah, you can beat ScarVio with a baby team

I would definitely recommend Arceus at least. It's a whole new game that deviates a lot from the og formula, very fun. Plus, you can get an Oshawott starter and think about me all the time. The DLC for ScarVo is coming out this year, so there won't be a new game until probably next Nov if you are itching to give this gen a try. It has it's faults (a lot of them), but was a really fun game, the story was unique and great, I don't regret picking it up and do want to play through it again sometime (especially now that I can have a legal Oshawott lol).

This makes so much sense to me and yet so little
