• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Pokémon Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet General Discussion

I have to say...Briar does look evil. Probably not though. This is GF we're talking about.

Dipplin’s cute. I’m glad we’re seeing that cute little dragon face in game now. Archaludon is cool, though when it comes to duraludon, nothing beats the gigantamax.
Paradox Raikou made me wheeeeeeze I mean just Look at that long boi.
Paradox Coballion is alright I guess.
 
Characters continued!

New art for the Blueberry Academy "Elite Four"

Lacey
I think she might be a Fairy-type or Normal-type specialist

Crispin
A chef so either Fire or Grass, leaning more toward Fire

Amarys
Hmm...her appearance says Steel but her test revolves around flying so I'm not sure.

Drayton
Drayden's grandson?! Maybe...he definitely has a dragon aesthetic.

I have yet to fully watch the presents but I guess it’s obvious what more of the paradox’s will be after this new batch.
 
The first thing I thought when I saw the Raiku design, was that it reminded me of a Portuguese Man o' war...and I envisioned it hiding in water with just the top part showing. Lol

Lacey is definitely a Fairy type specialist. The little fairy wings gives it away. Valarie and Opal both had types of fairy wings incorporated into their designs.
 
Going to share more about the new DLC mons

Dipplin is Grass/Dragon like the other two evolutions, Flapple and Appletun.

You can get Dipplin in the Teal Mask/DLC 1
I'm guessing it requires either another new apple or other ingredient in order for it to evolve. Its new ability is Supersweet Syrup, which lowers an opponent's evasion when it enters battle.

I think it looks cute

The second new mon is Archaludon. Like its preevolution Duraludon it is also Steel/Dragon.

You can get Archaludon in the Indigo Disk/DLC2
I'm guessing it evolves by a new item or move. Surprised they gave Duraludon an evo considering its BST. Maybe it gets Scizor treatment?

I like it more with new photos of it resembling a bridge. You know what region also has lots of bridges?

New characters:
Perrin: Adaman's descendent

Anyway, this DLC hyped me a little more than the last, especially with the Paradox Raikou and Cobalion. I'll add more later.
I saw this news this morning! So excited! I’ll be getting both DLCs for sure.
Post automatically merged:

In other news for me, after getting SUPER distracted by TOTK and other games, I finally got back to Scarlet and beat the Pokémon league.
 
I thought Dipplin was a Convergent form, I'm pretty disappointed in it now that it's an evolution if I'm honest... Thought we'd be getting a Dipplin evolution

I also preferred Raikou before it ****ed a Farigiraf I think. Someone did this 'Rumbling Ray' fan design a couple months ago and it's basically the same but better, which makes me sad.

I'm sad to that Applin got the Tyrogue treatment. As cool as Raging Bolt is...I do like that fanart more. That being said...Archaludon looks so much better than Duraludon. I'll probably be migrating my Galar Duraludons here just to evolve them. Don't care that they lose their Gmax forms. I also like Iron Crown (Cobalion Paradox). Judging from Iron Leaves, its typing will be Steel/Psychic and as an offense mon will make it like Metagross (my 10th favourite mon)
 
If you didn't see the new Present be sure to get your Mew!

You can get your Mew in S/V by entering the code: GETY0URMEW

The Mew will be given a random Tera type and a STAB move for its Tera type. You can change it at the eatery if you don't like it. The code will be active until the Teal Mask is released next month.
 
Guess what? I'm starting...

"A Pokemon Violet Nuzlocke:
Shinkai's Paldean Prize - the Series"

If that's alright, I'm going to be sharing updates every now and then. Right now I've made it to Mesagaoza and I'm currently, as I write this, talking to Nemona right after entering.
The way I'm playing this is I can only have one of each new Pokemon, all others are unusable, and the standard Nuzlocke rules apply after that. Clearly, not a hardcore or very wild Nuzlocke. I wish I could do one of those storytelling animation things for my Nuzlocke (examples: Jaiden Animations, Alpharad, Moxie2D), so I'm just going to leave the cool anime scenes inside my head for now.

Stick the Paldean Wooper
Teletubbie the Lechonk
Icing the Shroodle
Andrew (for my friend) the Pawmi
Butter the Fidough
and Affogato the Sprigatito

By the time I've finished up this post, I've just beaten the two Team Star grunts in front of the school.
For now, I'm unable to share screenshots with anyone due to the fact that I'm using a different switch than my usual one, and it's a Switch Lite, with a case that's impossible to take off to insert an SD card.

Edit: I just wanted to let you know that this is my first ever Nuzlocke. Also, I'm headed to the Cortondo gym :>

The Tera types I got for all four Mews I received are Steel, Ice, Normal, and Fairy. I’m using the Steel and Ice types in my second Scarlet game as I just started it not too long ago and all my Pokémon in that game are under level 10.
 
Shinkai's Paldean Prize - Update 2

OH GOD NO WOOPER DIED NO CRAP NO NO NO NO AHHHHHHH
NOT STICKS NOOOOOO
AND IT WASN'T EVEN THE GYM, IT WAS A STUPID TRaINER BATTLE WITH THIS OVERPOWERED PSYDUCK HITTING A CRIT BRO
AFFOGATO AVENGE HIM

The first casualty of the run. Sticks will not be forgotten. His Water Absorb ability would be awesome for this run, but alas, he's gone. My dislike for Psyduck only strengthens. The murderer. Angel the Courier. Maybe it was a sign. But I hope you remember what you did.

Shinkai's Paldean Prize - Update 3

I- I want to express how bad I am at Pokemon. The thing is, while I know my type matchups, I am a very bad battler and strategizer. You see, Butter's dead. That's two of them. And I've only done one gym. I'm scared now, my hands are shaking and dotted with bread dough and mud. I don't know if I can do this, guys...

Shinkai's Paldean Prize - Update 4

Sorry if I'm overloading with posts. I've defeated both the Sony Cliff Titan and the Artazon Gym, and haven't lost anyone in the process, surprisingly. I'm also not including Pokemon fainting in Tera Raids as death, but if I run out of time in the den, I will count it as death. Otherwise, Jumpman the Nacli would be dead twice. It's my first ever Nuzlocke, have some grace.
My current team:
Shrimpeater the Flamigo
Andrew the Pawmo
Teletubbie the Oinkologne
Icing the Shroodle
Jumpman the Nacli
and Affogato the Floragato

I have other Pokemon that I sometimes may switch in, these are:
Rollout the Bramblegast
and Aga the Klawf

The graveyard currently consists of:
Stick the Paldean Wooper
and Butter the Fidough. They will be heavily missed and never forgotten.
The team currently is at levels 17 and 18.

Shinkai's Paldean Prize - Update 5

I've defeated Titan Bombirdier and the Levincia gym now.
Andrew (Pawmo) swept Iono's first three Pokemon with dig, and Oinkologne(?!?!) three-shot her overpowered Electric-Tera, Levitate Mismagius (that uses Charge Beam and Hex) with a random normal-type move, Covet. Wow. It was rough.
At the end of the fight, Jumpman evolved into Naclstack! My team is the same from the previous post. (I'm surprised how I've only had two deaths, but I know that will increase once the difficulty curve hits. *cough *cough* everything after Quaking Earth Titan *cough *cough*
