    Pokemon Competitive Singles was an interested world during Pokemon Sword and Shield.
    The player "Pinkacross" rose to prominence during this generation, innovating and pushing the limits of overlooked Pokemon.
    One of his most noteworthy efforts was with Lanturn, who operated very well as an answer to Zapdos and Tapu Koko with the added benefit of utility and pivoting.
    The player Tio Chico has seen potential in these unique tools and used Komala all the way up to #9 on the Gen 9 OU Ladder.

    Some will never figure out how to get Komala in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Komala Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Komala Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
    Arceus exists.
    The below text is very relevant to many people.
    Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
    Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
    Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
    Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on CZcams. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

    @benjaminschmitt1562 Před 17 dny +33

    Now that we’re talking about Lanturn, I can finally mention that it has the absolute dumbest Pokédex entries when you think about them.
    1. Lanturn eats its prey whole, and it also competes with Lumineon for prey (idk how Lumineon beats it but I digress). Lumineon’s dex entry states that it often preys on Starmie in the ocean. So, Lanturn may eat Starmie (who’s around the same size) *whole.*
    2. Lanturn’s light can shine 3 miles/5 kilometers from the depths of water to the surface. Someone did the math on that, and found out that the light it emits is 10^105 Watts *at least.*
    So if you ever wanted proof as to why the Pokédex should not be trusted, there you go.

      It says it's light can be seen that far.
      Last I recall hearing, the human eye could detect a match burning a mile away if it was the only source of light or something to that effect.
      In the depths of the ocean, being the only light ain't hard😊

    • @jasonreed7522
      @jasonreed7522 Před 12 dny +1

      ​@@1stCallipostle there is a reason the bottom of the ocean is completely devoid of light, water aborbs light with an exponential decaying intensity.
      The amount of light that penetrates to a given depth will be the initial value times e^(-0.04x) where x is measured in meters.
      At a depth of 5km the remaining light will be roughly 10^-87 of the initial value.
      Factoring in the geometric loss from light expanding as a sphere following a 1/r^2 pattern, at 5000m the apparent brightness would be 4×10^-8 of the initial value.
      Combined we are at roughly 10^-95 of the initial light source's intensity.
      And this isn't even accounting for water turbidity, just a crystal clear salt water ocean.
      For a light to be seen from the surface it would have to be bright enough to boil the ocean in it's immediate vicinity. Only 1% of the sun's light reaches 100m (300ft) of depth in clear water, this is where the twilight zone begins.
      The pokedex is just propaganda from that 1 kid on the playground constantly making stuff up to 1 up everyone else with their dad who totally owns Microsoft.
