Pokemon General Discussion Thread - It's Lit(ten)!

But I have crabs for you D:

Ew.

You don’t want the Clauncher anymore?

I think we’re talking about different crabs.

Apparently Clauncher is the “Water Gun Pokemon”. I assumed he was “Crab Pokemon”.

Huh.

Seeking Speed Boost Venipede. I am online now.

I’m going to be breeding Cottonee with Egg Move Encore later tonight, if anyone wants one.

If Prankster, what do you want for it?

Me please.

Are you trolling me or is this a case of a language barrier?

I gotta 3IV Jolly one. What do you have?

I added you.

Clauncher is a Pistol Shrimp- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp

This badass little crustacean uses its massive claw to create shockwave bubbles that it fires like bullets to disable and capture prey.

The speed and power which they close the claw creates massive heat within the bubble(up to 4,700°C, aka really fucking hot) and a loud “snapping” sound that is on par with the beluga and sperm whale for the title of loudest creature in the ocean(up to 218 decibels). This is enough heat and pressure to disable/kill small fish and the bubble also creates its own light from the massive heat and pressure.

So, yeah, Clauncher’s a bad ass.

Now back to Pokémon… I still need dat Reckless Starly, and whoever is handing out Larvitar, Speed Boost Venipede and da gawd of trolls Cottonee- Hit me up. I’ll be breeding Egg Moves onto the starters for trades.

Which reminds me… if any of you dudes have the 5th gen starters(Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott) I need those dudes.

If you got Aura Sphere Squirtle or Giga Drain Bulbasaur that would be helpful. Or anything from the Bank that is not a starter or Feebas.

Squirtle with Skull Bash, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, and Aqua Jet, Drought Vlupix with Ember, Heat Wave, and Flare Blitz, Outrage Charmander, Shed Skin Seviper with Wrap, Swagger and Night Slash, all of whom are level one, and will be holding a heart scale. I’ll check IVs for any of them that you are interested in.

I’m heading online.

Po, whatcha got.

(Kingler weeps at someone assuming if there’s another crab Pokemon)

I find it a bit weird that we haven’t gotten a massively defensive crustacean yet. I mean, we haven’t, have we? I don’t think I’m forgetting one and all the crustacean-esque Pokemon we have are generally mons with huge attack power rather than defensive ability. It’s mostly other shelled things that get defense for some reason if even that.

looks at Clamperl

I guess because crustaceans tend to have prominent claws? Shrug.

Oh yeah, no doubt. Doesn’t mean that subtitles are necessarily any more trustworthy though.

Anything particularly “fucked” about it that messes with the plot that I should know about?

There’s… Crustle?

GG @r00ster22. That was my experimental mon’s team. I def need to add a defoger or spinner on that team. That was my first time using ZardX. I didn’t know he was that damn strong, lol.

I got Iron Fist Chimchar w/Thunder Punch/Fire Punch/Fake Out-4-5IVs, 4IV Mudkip w/Avalanche/Curse, a bunch of 3-4IV Anticipation Eevee w/ Wish/Charm/Covet/Endure, a box of 3-4IV Wingull w/ Wide Guard/Aqua Ring/Agility and 4-5IV Delibird with Ice Punch/Spikes/Rapid Spin/Destiny Bond or Ice Shard/Quick Attack/Fake Out/Ice Ball, or Freeze-Dry/Future Sight/Icy Wind/Bestow (leftover Christmas surprises)

I also Froakie(4IV w/Toxic Spikes), Fennekin(3-4IV w/Magic Coat/Wish/Heat Wave/Hypnosis), and Chespin(3-4IV w/Belly Drum/Spikes/Quick Guard/Synthesis)

Mfs dont believe me zard x is scarier tan megakhan requires just a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit more thinking BUt scarier none the less
