Now that the Teal Mask DLC has released for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, how's your experience with the update?

I think my personal highlight are the new Pokémon designs and the overall vibe of the Kitakami region. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that they fixed at least some very few performance problems (boxes, people walking), even though the game itself still runs very, very poorly.

Can't wait to hear what your experience is so far!

Just one more day before part 1 of Treasure of Area Zero drops! I hope it's everything you want it to be.

What is your favorite flower Pokémon? Mine is Sunflora. I like sunflowers, and this is the only sunflower based one to my knowledge. It has a simple and cute design.

Specifically a Future Variant resembling either MechaMew2 from the live show or Armored Mewtwo from the anime?

It's just one of those things we're overdue for imo. Another one being an ice type Onix, as it was the first region variant back in the anime.

Imagine being an enemy Pokemon that gets hit by an itemizer orb. One instant, you were a living organism, the next, you're an object. This raises all kinds of existential questions that get scarier the more you think about it. At what point are you killed by the process? The best case scenario for you is that you die the instant the magic hits you and the rest is moot.

But if that doesn't happen... Hoo boy. Will you feel your body being compressed and transmuted into an Oran Berry? Will you feel the excruciating pain as your nerves are destroyed at the atomic level to be turned into plant cells and sugar? The Lore in PMD very heavily implies the existence of some sort of life energy that animates living things, so what if that life energy stays in the thing you're turned into? Object Pokemon like Chimecho and Trubbish exist, so it's entirely possible that your life energy can just keep on existing inside the item you're turned into. Imagine being stuck as an item, conscious, but unable to move and with no senses to tell you about the outside world. Nothing but your own thoughts to keep your company. You're initially terrified of the prospect that you'll be eaten if you turned into food or used up in battle if you're an orb or something. But after days, weeks, months, without sensory input or anything but your own increasingly incoherent thoughts, mind broken by complete isolation, you begin to crave the sweet release of death. You begin to desperately hope that you'll be gobbled up by the next explorer that happens by you, or deployed in a battle, or at least be taken to the recycle shop, anything that will let your aura escape and your life to end--at least you hope that's what will happen when your "body" is destroyed. But it's not like you can do anything to cause or avoid it, nor will you be able to see it coming anyhow. You just hope that you won't be able to feel pain in this state, but in the Pokemon universe, not even that is a given.

I was having a lot of trouble taking it down with random people online, but here's what worked for me in the end. I've been able to beat Mewtwo 3 times with random people with this build.

Mew @ Metronome
Ability: Synchronize
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def
Adamant Nature

  • Leech Life
  • Swords Dance
  • Misty Terrain
  • Mud-Slap

You'll still need a few Mews with Struggle Bug or Snarl to cover that gap. In general, I found that mud slap was proving to be more useful in keeping me alive than Light Screen because of the impacts to Mewtwo's accuracy while also charging the Tera orb.

3 mud slaps up front keeping and eye on your teammates health. If anyone is near half, heal cheer. Then 2-3 Swords Dance, terastalize, then start spamming Leech Life.

Mud slap and Swords Dance in response to Mewtwo nullifying effects.

The biggest challenge was keeping my teammates alive more than myself. Leech Life with 2-3 Swords dances will keep you alive easily. Make sure you keep an eye on your teammates health and heal cheer as needed, especially if no one is using life dew.

Edit: Forgot to mention why Misty Terrain is there. You'll need to use Misty Terrain right before you break his shield because he's going to use Rest right after the shield break and having Misty or Electrifying Terrain in place will prevent it from healing. In general, had a few cases where my teammates didn't appear to know that, but most people knew about the need for struggle bug, so I dropped struggle bug for Terrain

Pokémon Sleep has announced a brand new event for Halloween, as well as the ability to link your account with various other accounts. Let’s get into the news!


Halloween Event

A new event has been announced for Pokémon Sleep, ready for the spookiest of seasons. A special Halloween themed event will run towards the end of October, with a focus on Ghost type Pokémon gathering during your daily sleep research, along with bonuses and more. We’ll share more information about this event as soon as we can!

Currently, the only available Ghost types are Gastly, Haunter and Gengar, so there is a lot of potential for other new Ghost types to be added. While Sableye is in the game, Sleep does not have dual types, so it counts as a Dark type. The Sleep Pokedéx at present consists of only Kanto and Johto Pokémon, so it seems likely that Misdreavus could be next. Alolan Marowak also has a lot of potential as Cubone and Kanto Marowak are already in Sleep.

As a reminder, the Good Sleep event will also be a monthly occurring event. It takes place the day before, the day of, and the day after the full moon.

Account Linking

In a much needed quality of life update, account linking is now available for Pokémon Sleep. Be sure to link your account with another to help protect you from losing your account, and enabling you to easily swap your account over to a new phone.

  1. From the home screen, tap Main Menu > Settings and More > Link Accounts

I want everybody to know about this event! What do you think of it?

The Pokémon Company has today announced that a brand-new live-action series about Pokémon is set to air in Japan from 19th October — however, it may not be the show that you would expect (thanks, Serebii).

Unlike the ace 'live-action' animation of the Detective Pikachu film, this upcoming series — titled 'Pocket Filled with Adventure' in English — doesn't appear to be set in a Pokémon world, but rather it will be about the act of playing Pokémon.

I think the reason merely mortal guys in tech-powered Suits are the only Superpowered Beings that doesn't get mistaken for Pokemon by forever 10-year old Kid named Ash Ketchum, as well guys in high-tech exosuits are only Superpowered beings that doesn't get retconned into Pokemon by Pokemon anime writers(before they retires Ash and Pikachu) was: wearing Powered Exoskeleton was supposedly the only way of having Superhuman Powers IRL

If you were a trainer IRL, what Pokémon would you have? Keep in mind you have to feed and deal with the little bastards.

My pick for the cutest Pokémon is Amaura. It is a nice blue colored Pokémon with big eyes and an expressive sail that changes color with its emotions. Also the Diamond on its body is a nice touch.

Why did they have to do Raikou dirty like this?
