Ego Boost: When this Pokemon is brought into battle, it maxes out its attack and special attack (like Belly Drum but better). However, stat drops do -2 if they normally do -1 and -3 if the normally do -2.

Tiebreaker: This Pokemon will always has the highest roll on moves on. It also always wins a speed tie.

Revenge Seeker: Does 2x damage if it was hit on this turn.

Switch Shield: This Pokemon has a shield when switched in. This allows for safe switches.

Top Dog: Every move this Pokemon has is +1 priority. This doesn't effect any move has negative priority.

Overlord: If the Pokemon has a higher attack stat, all moves a physical. If the Pokemon has a higher special attack stat, all move are special.

King of the Jungle: Any recoil move doesn't do recoil anymore. This includes Belly Drum but not Substitute.

Alright. I'll keep this short but it's really been bugging me because I think I'm one of the only people who has this opinion.

I haven't liked a lot of Pokemon characters. Hop was never my favorite and Whitney is annoying. But now I have one that I straight up hate. Carmine is genuinely the worst character ever. I don't think I had a single enjoyable time when she was on screen. She acts like she is the greatest when I win most of the battles I play. She FORCES me to lie about Ogerpon and then proceeds to try to lie again about hiding the existence of Ogerpon from Kieran. She also is really rude to Kieran because she's sooooo good at everything and Kieran is not (even though Kieran is honestly harder to beat. or maybe I'm just biased).

Let me end this on a positive note. The Pokemon they added back were so good. Vikavolt, Ninetales, Hisuian Arcanine, Quagsire (my boy) and so many other cool Pokemon. I genuinely couldn't choose my team.

Steady Shield: This move will always go first no matter how much priority any other move has. This allows this Pokemon to not be flinched or put asleep for the next three turns. If this move is used right after its effect wears off, it fails. This is good against Yawn but its main purpose is to counter Fake Out, one of the best moves in the game.

-Fighting Type Status Move

Reckless Swing: This move hits all targets. It does 150 damage and if it doesn't kill, it forces the opponent to switch. This move however, can have the effect of confusion where you hit yourself. If so, it does 150 damage to you and confuses you instead of switching out. However, this move only has a ten percent chance of hitting you.

-Fighting Physical Move

Pinpoint Punish: This move is a 20 base power move that can only be used if this Pokemon goes last. After the move lands, it randomly selects another attacking move that your Pokemon has and uses it. This random move can never miss.

-Steel Type Physical Move

Sneak Attack: This move is a 100 base power 100% accurate move with 1 priority. It doubles in power if this Pokemon has not been hit yet. However, it fails if it doesn't move first.

-Ghost Type Physical Move

Earth Lift: This move allows ground moves to hit Pokemon with levitate, flying types and any other Pokemon that is immune to Ground. It acts like Stealth Rock as well where every time a Pokemon is switched in, it does damage.

-Ground Type Status Move

1 on 1: This move fails if used in single battles. In double battles, this move makes it so one Pokemon on the opponents team cannot move until a Pokemon faints. This also makes it so your ally also cannot move until a Pokemon faints. Moves like Stealth Rock, status effects or any other ongoing effect set by either Pokemon that cannot move is automatically removed from the battlefield. You cannot switch any Pokemon with this move.

-Normal Type Status Move.

Bury: This move does 30 damage and forces an opponent Pokemon to not be able to move unless it uses Dig. This move can last from 1-3 turns and can't be used multiple times in a row. Only one Pokemon can be buried at once. Doesn't effect Ghost types. Of the Pokemon uses Dig, it automatically escapes.

-Ground Type Special Move

Any Pokemon. From Gen 1 to 9, base form to fully evolved, from Sunkern to Arceus. Anything.

Squirtle/Blastoise: Probably my second or first favorite starter. I think it looks really cool as a Blastoise and I think it looks reasonably cute as a Squirtle. Don't think I ever used anything besides it in Gen 1 playthroughs (I don't play Gen 1 very much though).

Bulbasaur/Venusaur: Used to think it was pretty mid but I'm starting to grow more fond of it. Venusaur is pretty cool and I love its running animation in the Lets Go games.

Charmander/Charizard: I used to like it but I probably don't like it as much as Venusaur anymore. I don't like all the extra attention it gets when there definitely is much cooler starters. Like Greninja only got Ash Greninja despite winning Pokemon of the Year in 2020 and clearly being pretty popular.

I bought Violet instead of Scarlet and still haven't completed my Pokedex. All of my other friends either bought Violet, didn't get the games or haven't gotten that far. So here I am. Looking for somebody to either trade or Union Circle Roaring Moon (this Pokemon is a pain to find), Great Tusk and Sand Shocks. I already have a Koraidon because of a REALLY lucky surprise trade.
