    7-Star Raid Event: Normal Type Eevee (+ Eevee Outbreak Spawns)

    Next weekend's raid will be...no, not H-Samurott, first we have to deal with Eevee. See, there's a tradition in Japanese to associate numbers with words, which explains a lot of the NPC uniform numbers in Sword and Shield, and it even extends to the calendar: 1121 = イイブイ = Eevee, so November...

    Online Competition Ultimate Finale

    Yeah, so about that... Standard fare for the last competition before a new region. Every species that's in the game is allowed, even mythicals, and species clause doesn't apply (nor does item clause, naturally). Sure, Dexit cuts do apply, so you can't use 6 Arceus (or even one for that...

    Online Competition I Choose 'Chu!

    After the goofy Magikarp format last time... Looks like you got your wish. 3v3 singles, only Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu (including Alola form) are allowed. Species clause applies, so the only way to fill out a "full" team is by using all three of them, and you only get to run one variant of...

    Challenge 7,000 Grains of Sand: Advancements in the Battle Institute

    Last October, I finally picked up Black 2, leaving generation 4 (and I guess 8 as well) as the extent of the "memory hole" in the franchise to which I have no firsthand experience. At times, it's felt like exploring a well-trodden land that thousands of other players have already charted, but...

    Pokemon Go, FEAR Donphan, and Minimum Legal Levels in National Dex

    Now that Go->Home transfer is officially supported (without having to use LGPE as a liaison, and the limitations that come with that), there are some implications for legality (and not even the erroneous reading of regional forms like A-Ninetales with Flamethrower, which the games perceive as...

    Challenge Pokémon X Minimum Battles/"Dexit" Run [COMPLETE]

    Fresh off the success of the Ultra Sun version, it's time for our heroine Minidex to move to Kalos and expand the known literature with information on a new region. Since Dexit alone isn't that big of a handicap here (in particular, there's no equivalent to the totems here, in which there is a...

    Challenge Ultra Sun "Dexit Challenge" - seeing as few Pokemon as possible [COMPLETE]

    It started with someone asking this, and the natural reaction to it being "There's no way anyone would want to put in the massive amount of busy work required to get you an answer to your question." Meanwhile, what I heard was "That's a cool idea for a challenge!" You may have heard of the...
