So, I know that Smash just ended, but the gen 9 grass-type starter, Meowscarada, feels like such a good fit for Smash (Well mostly if we get a fully evolved grass-type starter). Hypothetically, if Smash has continued to make more DLCs to this day and it was one of the chosen fighters, what would be your headcanon for this Pokemon in Smash? Its gender, nature, its relationship with other Smash characters and all? Like you did with other hypothetical Smash Pokemon fighters and the canon ones.
I admit I haven't played the new Pokemon games at all yet, so it may be a little trickier for me.
Nature: Probably either Naughty or Impish. Not afraid to get on people's nerves for the sake of its own amusement.
Gender: Could go either way imo. I settled on male for Meowscarada, but it could just as easily be female.
I see it getting along a lot at least somewhat with Joker and Jigglypuff. The three of them all have a mischievous streak (Joker a bit less than the other two), and Jigglypuff and Meowscarada both have an interest in performing (but in different ways).
Viridi would LOVE Meowscarada though, and immediately recruit it into the Forces of Nature. As a result, Pit and Palutena would butt heads with it a bit. Dark Pit is mostly neutral towards it.

I finally finished my playthrough of Deadfire last night. I had fun with my rogue/ranger character, and I loved getting to see romance bloom between Xoti and Maia (after I was so brave and broke up with Xoti, my weakness for Laura Bailey characters aside). I played through all the DLC, which I probably won’t revisit. Vatnir is cool, and I loved a piece of armor I got from Beasts of Winter; Forgotten Sanctum was more interesting and I liked getting to know a couple of the archmages (apparently Llengrath became my friend and would visit me on her dragon, and Bekarna was one of my favorite NPCs); that said, the DLC are kind of a pain in the ass.
I only had one glitch that I can think of—I went out of my way to kill Furrante and Aeldys and keep Two-Eyed Pim alive. But when I got to the end screens, it said Furrante was leading the Principi. I had definitely killed him, so ghost!Furrante, I guess. (And yes, I made sure they weren’t the second highest faction.)
I’m delighted I finally romanced Aloth! I read that a lot of people find it to be the least interesting of the romances, but I thought it was sweet, layered, and in-character. There were all kinds of great moments, and Edér teasing them was adorable. Also, it yielded the funniest exchange.
Llengrath, after I finished dealing with the Forgotten Sanctum: So what are you going to do now?
My Watcher, possessed by exhaustion and impish mischief: Aloth.
Aloth: Watcher! shush!
Llengrath, nodding: it’s what you deserve, bang that elf*
Then Aloth and the Watcher kissed at the end of the world, and he said exactly the most encouraging thing. I did get the ending where they ride off into the sunset together, so that was nice.
*not an exact quote of her response, but this really was the gist/vibe

Fnaf ruin now makes me believe that moon was always this impish kind of character and that the virus made them more rabid
Cause like their new lines are way more growly??? Idk back when security breach was out it was easy to chalk up moon's behavior as they weren't always like that now it's like ok they're actually feral
Being a FNaF super nerd and shameful consumer of the books, it's actually revealed that Moon is just kinda like that and they just don't turn the lights off to combat it.
Sun was the theatre's animatronic originally and Moon was sort of their evil counterpart that would play the villains. Hense their design being like the two theatre masks and the daycare itself being very bare in terms of Sun and Moon play fixtures. I know people like to ignore or disregard the books and debate if they should be used for the games but in the case of the DLC and DA, the books explain like everything.
They couldn't fix Moon (really get rid of their AI) so they just banish them to Sun's subconscious but it makes Sun panicky cause they always worry Moon will bust out and hurt kids, Eclipse is a new DLC thing tho.
#this is all to say Sun and Moon aren't actually infected with any virus they are just sort of broken#a shame but honesly its so funny they are just a freak#ask#anon#fnaf sb#fnaf#five nights at freddy's#ruin dlc#ruin dlc spoilers#the daycare fandom#the daycare attendant#fnaf sun#fnaf moon#its like i know its hard cause we wanted Moon to be misunderstood so bad but they are just a shit head peeps

Transformers: Robots In Disguise (2015) themed Pokémon Team
Because, ultimately, I am a Big Nerd™. I like alien robots and pocket monsters, so why not combine them a little?
Impish nature Manectric for Sideswipe.
Serious nature Lopunny/Pangoro for Strongarm.
Adamant nature Haxorus/Tyrantrum for Grimlock.
Sassy nature Duraludon for Jazz.
Calm nature Vespiquen(?)/Raichu for Bumblebee.
Naïve nature Growlithe-Arcanine for Fixit.
Hasty nature Rapidash/Boltund for Blurr.
Careful nature Golisopod for Ratchet.
Bold nature Vikavolt for Windblade.
Brave nature (Mega likely!) Lucario for Optimus Prime.
Mix and match for the best variety and success! All of these pokémon are available in pokémon Sword, with alternatives for those who do not have the Armor DLC (like myself) so one could conceivably make such a team a reality!
#pokemon#pokemon sword#transformers#transformers: robots in disguise#robots in disguise 2015#i don't recommend a team of this if you fight competitively ahaha#simply because I have not tested efficiency in fights#nerding out#over things#themed pokemon teams#pokeformers

Fnaf sb dlc ruin now makes me believe that moon was always this impish kind of character and that the virus made them more rabid
Cause like their new lines are way more growly??? Idk back when security breach was out it was easy to chalk up moon's behavior as they weren't always like that now it's like ok they're actually feral
[Well, he was designed to be the villain of the theater act with Sun as the hero. So he's just a goblin at heart. They changed their programming enough to be around kids with no serious issue, as even Cassie remarks that Sun and Moon were really good to her. Sure, some found them scary, sometimes nightmare-inducing as one report states, but they were harmless. Then SB happens and we get viruses...Sun doesn't seem affected so it's just all on Moon. Him in SB was him with no restraint. And I think that was the virus in a nutshell. The animatronics with no restraint and would harm a child. This hostility though only seems to be locked on Gregory as he was their target, which is why Roxie is herself with Cassie. (why Chica and Monty still attack? They were so heavily damaged that they're no longer able to revert.) Moon though, in such a state of ruin and constant night, I think he's truly in pain. "Aargh! Naughty, naughty! Make it stop! The light makes us hurt! Grind! Grind! Grinding gears inside my head! We can't move, error. Error!!" So not only is he still agitated by the virus (until the reboot) but the state of his body is in such bad shape he is wounded, light making them switch causing pain. So likely he broke all the lights in the zone to prevent switching out so both won't hurt but in doing so he is terrorizing Sun who is mentally trapped in the dark and scared. My poor boys...I just want to repair them so bad! *weeps*]

Mari's Tera Raid Guides #23 - Infernape
When life gives you hyper-offensive fire types, you bake apple pies :3
Appletun lv.100
Ability: Thick Fat
Tera type: Fighting
Item: Shell Bell
Nature: Bold/Impish/Relaxed
IVs: 31 in HP, defense, special defense
EVs: 252 defense, 252 special defense, 4 HP
Moves:
-Body Press (TM) (1 PP Up recommended)
-Iron Defense (level up)
-Amnesia (TM)
-Recover (level up)
NPCs: 1+ Intimidate users recommended
Usage:
Wait for when Infernape nullifies all your stat modifications, it happens early (~90% time left) so it isn't worth it to do anything before that.
Of course, next you boost your defenses. Infernape likes to attack with Tera Blast which can be physical or special. At the start of the battle it will be physical because his attack is slightly better but, after a few turns (~80% time remaining), he will use Nasty Plot and Tera Blast will consequently become special. The plan is to use Iron Defense and Amnesia for a total of 3 times each; I would start by alternating them (Iron Defense first) but switch to finishing Amnesia as soon as Nasty Plot is used. In this phase, keep an eye out for Appletun's HP, be ready to heal either with Recover or the Heal Up cheer whenever it's needed (remember that you're slower so Recover will go off after Infernape's next attack, while the cheer will take priority).
If you survived this part, now it's Body Presses until the end. Make sure to terastallize after 3 of them! Some more healing may be necessary between the first 4-5 turns of this phase, but at some point you should be able to heal considerably while attacking. A PP Up may be needed, but if you start using it only at maxed out defense and you remember to terastallize when it's the right time, it's possible to win with just the original 10 PP.
TL;DR: do nothing until player stat reset; alternate Iron Defense and Amnesia 3x each, prioritize Amnesia when Infernape does Nasty Plot (heal as needed); Body Press x3 (heal as needed), terastallize, Body Press spam
Pros:
-the usual, common pokemon that doesn't need a DLC or a transfer
Cons:
-hidden ability (maybe it's not needed? I never got hit with Flare Blitz, but maybe that was because I had Thick Fat. I sure wouldn't like getting burnt though)
-tera type change

Wild Area Event - Grimmsnarl
Impidimp, Morgrem, and Grimmsnarl are currently more common in the Wild Area and DLC areas. For who knows what reason. Getting your impish behavior out before school starts up again? This event goes through August 21, 2022.
Notable Pokemon:
-Shiny Grimmsnarl is appearing more often than normal.
...That's really about it. They're fairly likely to be holding high-value sellable items, though, so maybe that's it.

My Best Friend is Actually a Girl!?
Based off the artwork of Aestheticc-meme, I take no credit for these characters or situation, I am simply a humble fan who has taken to the keypad to pay tribute to an artist I admire.
Chapter One It seemed like it was an average Sunday at first. But as our young protagonists will soon learn, there would be nothing average about the week they had ahead of them. For this, dear reader, is a tale of surprises, twists and turns, shock, confusion, competition, passion, and the metamorphosis of a close friendship into something profound and soulful. Let's begin, shall we? It all started with an exchange between two 20-somethings over text messages.
D: You looking forward to tonight? A: You bet. I can't wait to beat your ass in Smash face to face D: I wouldn't be so cocky if I were you. I hosed you pretty good last time A: Man you know I lost cause of lag D: Yeah yeah, we'll see about that tonight Don't forget to bring a controller A: On it. Still meeting at the park right? D: Sure thing
This is Dave and his friend Alex. Dave had met Alex over a game of Team Fortress 2, where Alex had repeatedly challenged his competence as a Scout by dominating him while playing Heavy. Over the course of a couple hours of play they started to establish a friendly rivalry banter with each other, and by the end of the night they were fast friends. Later they acquired each other's Steam tags and bonded over shared frustrations with Valve's mismanagement of the bot issue, amongst other random topics of conversation. For about four months they'd been playing games with each other multiple times a week whenever they both had a bit of spare time. Dave hadn't known Alex for long, but he felt like already their bond was as strong as the ones he had with friends he had known since childhood. Alex was funny, quick-witted and competent when it came to gaming, which made him a great teammate and an even better rival to bring out Dave's competitive side when they were on opposing teams. In a recent call they'd gotten into, the topic of Nintendo had come up, and the ensuing conversation revealed to the duo a couple pertinent pieces of info. 1: That both owned a Switch and a fully decked out copy of Super Smash Brothers Ultimate with all the DLC. 2: That by some stroke of fate they not only lived in the same county of the same state, but that their residences were within walking distance of each other. After reflecting on this and mustering up a little courage, Dave had decided to invite Alex over to his apartment to play Smash. He told himself it was because all his other friends were out of town or busy that weekend, but he really was excited to meet Alex in person and get to know him better, albeit not without a bit of trepidation; part of him worried that this would change their friendship somehow, and he didn't want to make things weird.
All the same though, he and Alex agreed to meet up at a park that was about equal distance between their homes, so at about 6:00 PM he set out into the city to meet up with his good friend.
He had no idea what he was in for.
Chapter Two
After a brisk walk Dave made his way over to the rough area where they'd agreed to meet up, and before even catching sight of his friend he was made aware of Alex's presence by a gruff "HEY MCFLY!"
A recurring inside joke (born from a night they spent up late watching the entire Back to the Future trilogy) was all the confirmation Dave needed that this person was indeed the friend he was looking for. The way Alex excitedly ran up to meet with him didn't hurt either.
"Ready to get your ass kicked?" Alex said with a toothy, impish grin. This was the first thing Dave noticed upon getting an assessment of Alex's appearance. The look he wore suited the personality Dave had become familiar with over the past few months, but this wasn't the only thing he noticed about his friend. His bronzed complexion and tousled black hair were suggestive of an athletic, active guy, but his features had an odd softness to them. Dave couldn't assess too much though, because A: It'd make him seem like a weirdo, and B: The cold weather necessitated that Alex wear a thick, padded jacket, so Dave couldn't really assess how tough Alex was.
"You didn't tell me how TALL you were, dude! How's the weather up there?"
This trademark corny Alex joke snapped Dave out of his thoughts, though it also made him notice for the first time the difference in height between them. "Yeah, well, at least I can reach the top shelf for the cookie jar."
"Oooh, big man. How many times did your mom catch you for that one?"
"My lawyer has advised me not to give too many details."
"Yeah yeah, just show me the way to your place, yeah? I'm freezing my balls off out here."
"Just one thing before we head off. You got your controller, right?" Alex took out a Switch Pro Controller styled in black and silver with the pattern of the Smash logo. "Never leave home without it."
"Excellent. Let's get back there."
Chapter Three
On the walk back to Dave's apartment, they enjoyed much of the same banter that he'd become familiar with in the online space. Dave was glad that he and Alex were getting along so well. So far, there didn't seem to be any discomfort about them, and it seemed that being in person changed nothing about how they talked to each other. They still talked to each other with that same sense of casualness and an unspoken trust, like they could talk about whatever weird thing they wanted to each other and the other person would get it. Nethertheless, Dave couldn't quite shake the odd feeling in the back of his mind that Alex wasn't quite what he expected him to be. That there was something about Alex that he hadn't picked up on. Dave didn't know what to make of these feelings, so he tried his best to just ignore them for now and figure it didn't matter much, cause he was still having a good time being with his friend, and he had nothing better to do this Sunday night. After a walk that was slower back than there on account of obnoxious traffic, they made it to the complex in which Dave's apartment was nestled, on the third floor of the building. Alex immediately picked up on the state of Dave's residence. "Gee, look at Mister Rich Guy over here living it up in his luxury apartment building!" "it's not...luxury!", Dave replied sheepishly, a little red in his cheeks.
The truth was, Dave had come from a penny-pinching family, and though he was sometimes embarassed of their habits like coupon-cutting, his parents' understanding of finance allowed them to help him work out a decent plan that allowed him to put some money from his job away and save up for a nice apartment whilst also attending college in the most min-max-y way possible. Maximum possible amount of quality education for minimum spending.
"Easy for you to say. I wish I could get a place this nice!" "Well we're not actually in my apartment yet, so don't call it too early. For all you know it could be a total dump." Dave said, tapping his index finger to his forehead as if to make a point. "Knowing you, it wouldn't surprise me." Alex retorted with a grin. Dave returned the grin but immediately afterward got that strange feeling again. He tried to just brush past it as they ascended the stairs to get to the third floor of the building, half-racing to see who could make it there first. Alex reached the third floor first, barely even having broke a sweat whilst Dave was panting and wheezing. Dave was in pretty good shape, but even in spite of this stairs remained his arch-enemy. Alex's breezy climb reinforced his suspicions that he was pretty athletic in spite of also being an avid gamer like Dave. "Alright, you may've gotten to the third floor first, but I'm the one who knows which apartment we need to enter." "Yeah, no duh. Show me in, dawg, c'mon, I'm excited." Dave did just this after he retrieved the apartment key from its hidden spot, and once the apartment door was closed they began to take off their cold-weather clothes, as it was much comfier in Dave's apartment than outside. This was the moment Dave got a better idea of Alex's build. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
Looking over from the cubby where he'd placed his shoes, the first thing he noticed was how Alex's hips seemed wider than before when he had a padded coat on. This observation however was immediately superceded in his mind by what he saw when he looked up a little higher.
Covered by a fairly plain black and white patterned T-shirt on Alex's chest were a pair of the biggest boobs Dave had ever seen in his life. At first he couldn't process what he was seeing, the sight of it so shocking and bizarre to his mind, but a blink reassured him that no, he was not hallucinating, those were, in fact, boobs. Alex was...a girl!?
Chapter Four "Ah man, it feels good to take that off, lemme tell ya. You keep it pretty warm in here, you know that?" Apparently Dave's eyes had moved faster than he thought, because Alex didn't seem to notice his looking at him...er...her. "Well y'know, I kinda just change it up for the season. Keep it at whatever temperature it needs to be for me to sit around in my PJs." "Ha! I hear that, man." Dave had quickly recovered from his initial shock and was currently in the process of trying to push down all the craziness in his head at that moment. Part of his brain wanted to totally lose its composure at how utterly weird it was, but for the moment the cold, logical part of him had taken control, and it had told him that this wouldn't stop them from having a good time. Clearly not, I mean look at her!
What? No. Ew. What? Where had that come from? Whatever, he didn't have time to think about it right now. Alex looked all around Dave's apartment, beginning to properly take it in.
"So, this is the place, huh? Gotta say, you exceeded my expectations. Albeit that was a pretty low bar to clear." Thank God, an out to focus on something else for a minute. That was just what he needed right now. Turning his attention to the apartment in question, he too gave the place a look around. The walls were painted in a color that was light without feeling sterile, a soft gold hue that was evocative of sunlight. His mom had advised him on this, as initially the apartment's walls came in a rather dull grey that made the place seem desolate. She had opined that painting the walls that color would make the place feel more welcoming, and it had certainly done the trick for that. He'd added his own personal touch to the walls by decorating them with posters for some of his favorite bands, movies, etc. Among them was an Arctic Monkeys poster that sat on the wall to the right of the TV. In terms of layout, it was your pretty standard fare for a mid-sized apartment. The main area consisted of a living room and a kitchen island, with one hallway leading off into the bathroom and laundry room, and a door on the wall to his right that led to his bedroom.A worn but reliable couch was stationed at its post in front of a mid-sized TV which was hooked up to a couple gaming consoles and a Roku. His Switch was already powered on and pre-loaded with his copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as he had the foresight to have everything ready to go before he left.
Taking a look around his home like this caused Dave to contemplate how you sometimes notice things about your home that you took for granted before once you're in the company of someone who's seeing it for the first time.
Her boobs are huge.
GAH! Stop that! This is not appropriate, Alex is your bro!
You mean sis? Whatever, he couldn't argue with this right now. He just had to focus on something else. "Hey man, you good? You got a weird look on your face."
Alex had apparently caught on to some of the turmoil going on within his brain at the moment, as he-she looked at him with a cocked eyebrow. The look Alex gave him conveyed concern, and the softness of the expression made Dave's brain go haywire in a way he never would've thought Alex could have just a day ago.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm good, I'm good, I just...realized we gotta sync our controllers."
"Oh yeah. Turn on the TV, I left mine in my coat." Alex turn and strolled back toward the coat rack, giving Dave a chance to turn his attention to something else for a second. Chapter Five
Powering on the light to the TV, he watched as the Switch's Home screen graced him with the default inoffensive dark grey palette he'd left it on. Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokemon Legends Arceus were amongst some of the games that appeared in the immediate selection, but these were not his target for tonight. First on the list was Super Smash Bros Ultimate. He was so scatterbrained that he was about to just start up Smash without going to the controller pairing screen first, but Alex snapped him out of it. "Alright, comin' through. Scooch over, I want the good seat."
She sat down next to him on the carpeted floor between the TV and the couch, cross-legged. If nothing else it comforted him to know they both shared the habit of trying to sit as close to the TV as they could get away with before they burned their retinas.
Dave clicked onto the controller pairing screen. He held the buttons to pair his own controller, and it worked right away, but Alex seemed to be having some trouble. "Damn it, I can't get the thing to connect!" As Alex held down the pairing buttons, the controller continuously flickered but wouldn't stay on. "Hold on, I've got an idea. I heard this helps." Alex leaned over on her hands and knees and held the offending controller right up against the console.
Oh, lord. Don't look.
TOO LATE!
Before he could mentally slap himself for looking at his friend's rear end like that, Alex sat up excitedly as the controller blinked into action, ready for its duty "It worked!" She said , beaming at Dave. "Awesome. I would've had to throw you out if you'd direspected me by bringing a broken controller into my home." "Ahhhhh shuddup, you know Switch controllers are super unreliable. Let's just Smash already, man."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
"Now that we can agree on."
Booting up Smash Bros and skipping past the intro cinematic like muscle memory, the duo landed on the standard couch co op Smash screen, on the rule selection. Dave risked looking over at Alex, making an effort to maintain eye contact.
"How does 3 stock, 10 minutes, Omega stages only sound to you?"
"Sounds like a ruleset for a guy who only played For Glory back during the Wii U days."
"Guilty as charged." Dave smirked, hoping it looked easy on him. He was still having a good time, he thought, but it was getting increasingly harder and harder to ignore the elephant in the room. Or rather, the pair of elephants in the room.
A mind that was in the gutter was the loudest of his inner turmoil, but it wasn't the only thing that was going through his head at that time. More tangible thoughts started to creep into his brain, many of them not good. Why was this such a big deal for him? Why was he so surprised? Did this change anything between them? Were they still just going to go on being friends the same as before? Why shouldn't they, he didn't even know Alex's gender before. But with the way she talked, he just assumed she was a guy! This was all too much!
"Dude, select a character already, you gotta have a main, right?"
Chapter Six
Alex's voice snapped him out of his mental whirlpool yet again.
"Oh yeah, sorry, I was waiting on you and I spaced out."
He looked over at where Alex's Player 2 pointer was, and noticed for the first time that she had selected...Sheik. How fitting. He didn't have time to dwell on that right now though, lest he get lost in his own thoughts again, so instead he hovered to his reliable, trusty main: The diabolical superheavyweight Kremling King K. Rool. The orange color palette was his preference.
"Man, K. Rool, huh?" Alex asked, with a crooked sort of look on her face. "Yeah, what of it?" Dave shot back. "Well, being that you're such a competitive guy and all, I wouldn't have pegged you for the type to deliberately kneecap yourself like that." "Oh, you're gonna eat those words by the time this match is over!" He said, the slight towards his favored fighter bringing out a flame within him. He may have been swimming in some very confusing thoughts at the moment, but NOBODY dissed K. Rool and got away with it on his watch.
The match started, by random chance, on the Omega version of Kongo Falls, K. Rool's signature stage, and with K. Rool's signature theme, Gangplank Galleon, playing over. The announcer's countdown began, as both fighters appeared on the stage.
"3!" And it. "2!" Was. "1!" On. "GO!"
The two gamers fought ferociously. Dave had had a lot of practice with friends, in online matches, and he'd even gone to a local tournament and placed 5th once, but Alex clearly knew her stuff too. Sheik bobbed and weaved her way around the mighty crocodile king's powerful attacks, because Alex understood that just a few good hits from K. Rool would be all it would take to end the match. Dave fired on all cylinders, using every trick and combo at his disposal, dodging, shielding, jumping, grabbing, and smashing his opponent, but after 9 minutes and 45 seconds of butt-clenching action, Sheik won out by wearing K. Rool down until she finally had enough damage on him to deal a finishing blow. The screen crackled and flashed with the red lightning of death, and K. Rool was blasted offstage. "GAME!" A small pause for the game to load the victory screen.
"SHEIK! WINS!"
"WOOOOO! GOT YOUR ASS! LIGHTWEIGHTS RULE, HEAVYWEIGHTS DROOL!" Alex ecstatically shot up from the floor and pumped her arms with enthusiasm. Clearly she was being a sore winner, but it was quite an intense match so he gave her a pass. Plus it gave him a chance to notice how toned her figure was... Stop it.
"I think this calls for a victory trip to the fridge!"
Before Dave could say anything, Alex prowled over to his refrigerator, a hunger known only to her driving her movements.
"You got drinks, right?"
Despite himself, Dave exhaled in amusement at his friend. "Yeah, I got drinks."
He suspected he didn't need to confirm it for her, as she was already raiding his fridge. He heard her muffled voice carry from the fridge over to the living room.
"Let's see, we got soda, OJ, some purple stuff...Hey, Coca-Cola! Kick-fuckin'-ass!" Great, now she was gonna be even more hyperactive.
Alex strided back over to the TV, apparently content with her conquest of Dave's fridge, and sat down criss-cross on the floor next to him once again. She took a sip from the leftover McDonald's Coke and turned her attention back to the TV. Apparently satisfied that she'd proven the honor of her main, you chose a different character this time: Link.
"Why Link?" "Hey, girl's have gotta have some eye candy too sometimes." "I guess that's true enough."
As that thought percolated through his mind, Dave chose to follow a similar approach to Alex and choose a secondary. Usually he probably would have chose K. Rool again to make a point, but with everything else in his head, he was too distracted to keep that fire going for long. Instead, he chose Banjo and Kazooie. "Ugghhhhhh, I hate these guys." Alex groaned. "Oh yeah?" Dave replied, half-paying attention. "Yeah, that bullshit invincible Side-B is the worst."
Alex sat in a somewhat hunched position as they began their next match, holding her controller close to her chest. Clearly she was concentrating very hard on beating the bear and bird. After about 30 seconds of fighting, he managed to get enough damage on her to knock her off a ledge. Link used his boomerang instead of recovering and fell to his death. 3-2.
"Fuck, that's bullshit! My controller keeps drifting, man!" "Hm." Dave said impassively. Internally he'd noticed how close he was holding the controller, and her, er, breast had been touching the joystick. He suspected that was the cause of the botched recovery, but he didn't dare voice that aloud. "Maybe if I drink this soda and fight at the same time, then I'll do better." Dave heard her say this, but thought not about the logistics of it as he concentrated on fighting Link, until he accidentally looked over and saw her sipping from the straw of the drink cup as it rested on top of her breasts.
Chapter Seven
Her very large, ample breasts.
Dave's confused horniness was overtaken by trepidation at the sight of it, as it looked rather unstable. "Uh, are you sure that's a good idea?", he asked. "It's fine, man, I'm totally in control." She said, straw still in her mouth. She looked over at him slowly to address him. "I've done this loads of-OH SHIT!"
She suddenly snapped her attention back to the TV right as Banjo and Kazooie plowed into Link with that so very hated Side B and took another stock. In the process the Coke cup was knocked off balance, spilling ice and sticky soda all over her shirt.
All over her shirt.
Uh oh.
"Ah crap, it's all over me! Ugh, I hate sticky stuff!"
Without giving Dave any time to think about what was happening, she removed her shirt. He was so shocked by this that all he could do was avoid looking at her and instead stare at the shirt laid out flat on his floor. After all this time he's only just NOW noticed that the shirt had some Russian letters on it. It'd been a few years since he'd taken high school Russian, but if he was right the shirt said...Squeeze? Bounce? Something like that. He got the sense that it was the type of thing a cornball like Alex would wear, but he was still having trouble reconciling the fact that she was SITTING NEXT TO HIM WITH HER SHIRT OFF AND HER BOOBS EXPOSED.
"Man, you were right, I feel like such a doofus. Look, I think it's on my pants too!"
She stood up, revealing the dark liquid stain on her leggings. She was right, but she couldn't possibly-
"I guess I'm gonna have to take these off too."
Oh no. OH YES!
Alex took off her leggings and picked her shirt up off the floor, holding her clothes to her chest.
"Sorry about this, do you mind if I use your shower to wash off?"
GUISHIOGIHIOUSGUHIDUOGHDIOU
"Y-yeah, it's no problem, just head down the hall and to the left." "Thanks." She said, apologetically. It seemed she'd calmed down a bit and now it was HER turn to look sheepish and red in the face. "I promise I won't take long, I'll clean up your carpet once I'm done, OK?" "Don't worry about it." She nodded and headed down the hallway. She turned back and yelled to him from the hall. "This door?" He looked over at her. "No, that's the laundry room, you're gonna want the next door over." "Okay!"
She hurriedly slipped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Dave waited to hear the shower start up before he breathed out.
Chapter Eight
A chance to be alone with his thoughts. He didn't know if he was more relieved or terrified. As the hot water for the shower hissed its way through the walls, he contemplated everything over a bowl of pretzels as he stared through the TV. The match had been paused amidst all the chaos, but Dave was only seeing what was in his mind, trying to process the events of the last hour or so.
It was still so difficult for him to process the fact that Alex was a girl, but he was slowly coming to grips with it. How could he not have noticed? He supposed that it'd just never come up when they were hanging out online. Now that he thought about it, Alex's voice sounded less rough and scratchy in person than she did over a Discord call. He supposed that could be chalked up to poor microphone quality.
And as for it never coming up in conversation, it seemed like it just wasn't something he ever considered. Alex's demeanor was so brash and outgoing and well, masculine. The fact that she said stuff like "I'm freezing my balls off out here" probably helped disguise it too. It just seemed like something that never even needed to be questioned, like it was just an unspoken understanding between them.
But since apparently that was not the case, that made him question: Was his friendship with Alex, like, genuine? Was their whole relationship a big misunderstanding? Could he really look at Alex the same way again and trust her if she'd hid something like this from him for several months? Well, that wasn't exactly fair, another part of him thought. He considered how Alex had acted tonight around him. She didn't seem dishonest or nervous at all. When he thought about how she'd acted, he found it hard to believe she PURPOSEFULLY hid her gender from him. It seemed more like she also just never thought to bring it up.
And as for whether or not their friendship was "real", he'd thought about the good times they'd spent together; staying up late watching movies, talking about their favorite music, about their hopes and dreams and what they wanted to accomplish in life. Dave had opened up to Alex in a way that he hadn't done for someone in a long time, and she had reciprocated that vulnerability. What they had was much deeper than just two buddies who sometimes played Steam games together. So why did it matter if Alex was a girl?
Well, there was that other thing to worry about...
Chapter Nine
For the first time, he'd started to reflect on Alex's appearance. When she'd taken her coat off (He had no idea how she kept those things hidden), when she'd bent over to pair her controller, when she had the drink cup balanced on top of her boobs, and of course when she spilled said drink cup and had to strip down to her underwear.
He thought about her mischievous, wily, yet somehow soft and kind face. He thought about her somewhat sharp canine teeth that almost looked like a pair of cute fangs. He thought about her boisterous and energetic attitude. And her body... Oh boy, her body.
At this point, his brain opened itself up to thinking about the flashes of Alex in her underwear that he saw prior. She wore a bulky purple bra and purple underwear that complimented her coppery skin. He noticed that, as he suspected, she had an athletic build, with a fair amount of lean and muscle tone, but not lacking in curves whatsoever.
Moreso than her body though he thought about the embarassed way she spoke to him after the incident, standing there in her underwear, sheepishly asking if she could borrow his shower. At first it seemed like she was just embarassed that she'd gotten his carpet sticky. But could it also be that she was shy about revealing her body to him?
He didn't know how to feel about that.
One thing was for sure though, the weirdness couldn't go on forever. He'd been acting awkward around Alex, and she had picked up on the fact that something was up with him. He'd become drawn in, and that was not cool. He and Alex trusted each other and told each other things. Even if it was awkward, he felt like he had to address it so that he could ease up and feel comfortable around her again.
But what if...?
An unspoken question traveled through his mind, slithering like the serpent what tempted Eve. A desire that was present the entire time but that his mind had refused to address properly. Now that he was better able to process Alex's...femininity, these feelings began to grow stronger, demanding they be addressed properly.
She is attractive, isn't she? Maybe we could be something more than just friends...Maybe we could even...
No. He didn't trust himself to go further with that train of thought right now. He still hadn't gotten over his last botched date with someone he was introduced to by a friend. If he went there with Alex, if she learned his secret...It was too risky. Even if he was beginning to feel things beyond the platonic for Alex, he couldn't risk ruining the friendship. It was too important to him. She was too important to him.
He heard the hot water stop running and the sound of the shower crank being turned to off. Geez, either he'd been sitting around thinking for a long time, or she really meant it when she said she'd be quick. He couldn't tell which it was. Well, whatever the case, it was time for him to face the music. He was going to be straight up with her, address it, and then hopefully they could move past it and enjoy the rest of their evening.
He just had to get up off the couch first.
Chapter Ten
After managing that Herculean task, he strided over to the bathroom door and knocked. He heard a muffled reply from the other side of the door.
"You don't gotta knock, dude, it's your house!"
He opened the door to find his friend standing outside the tub, towel already wrapped around her torso, the shower having made her hair even more wild and spiky than it already was, her shapely legs mostly exposed from the thighs down and why was he taking note of these details?
"Feeling better now?"
"Oh yeah man, I owe you one big time, that shower was just what I needed!"
"Glad to hear it." He looked around and scratched the back of his head awkwardly, unsure what to say next. Self-doubt began to creep in but in a split second he chose to keep talking in spite of it. "Hey, so I've got something I wanna tell you." "Yeah? What's up?" She looked at him, seeming perfectly content and patient. "it's just...I dunno. I feel like I've been kinda awkward tonight and I just wanted to say that....Your towel looks a little compressed." This wasn't what he had meant to say, but his eyes detected a tiny amount of movement around her torso area, and he noticed at the moment that her towel was putting up an absolute battle against her, uh, prominent chest.
"Ah, I think I'm fine, go ahead and say what you were gonna say." Alex responded after looking down at her towel, which, he noticed, also seemed to make it looser. "OK, well, I was just gonna say that I really...wasn't expecting you to be-" "SHIT!" The towel lost. Alex was now fully naked, but he avoided looking in the moment. "Sorry, let me get that for you!" "It's alright, don't come over here yet, the floor's-" "AH!" Dave slipped and fell on top of Alex. Luckily she was pretty strong, so she caught him and was able to control their fall so they both landed without breaking their necks.
Dave now lay on top of his nude, exposed female friend, and had no choice but to take the sight in.
Her face was the thing he zeroed in on. She looked shocked at first, and then embarassed at their positioning on the bathroom floor. She quickly blushed again and looked away.
"You can look if you want...I-I don't mind..."
It was at this moment that Alex sounded the least like herself. She sounded soft, shy, and bashful, and he also detected a hint of something else in her voice.
Was Alex...attracted to him?
"Do....do you WANT me to look?" He asked gently.
"I....I think I do. Is that OK? Does that weird you out?"
A small note of panic crept into her voice, and Dave started to put things together.
Maybe...maybe she had been feeling the same things he'd been feeling all evening. Maybe she was also worried about saying or doing something weird and ruining everything. Maybe the evening hadn't quite turned out the way they expected for either of them.
"I mean, if you're cool with it then I don't see a problem..."
What was he thinking? He should've pulled away a lot sooner. He couldn't lead Alex on like this. Knowing him he'd just screw everything up.
Alex looked down and seemed to notice something that she hadn't before. "Woah, what is going on THERE?"
Dave hadn't been conscious of it somehow, but when he looked down he realized that his cock was bulging in his sweatpants.
Chapter Eleven
"Is that a Master Sword in your pants or are you just happy to see me?"
Alex quickly responded to Dave's boner with a lame joke, the perfect thing to diffuse the situation a bit. Just like that, the Alex he knew was back. God she was awesome.
"Heh, I suppose it is." Dave responded with a chuckle. "Happens to everybody sometimes, yknow?" "Right, of course. But uh, since I'm all naked laying here, it seems only fair if I get to....You know." Dave winced. "God, I dunno, I feel nervous about this, are you sure we can't just pretend this whole thing never happened?" "Ah ah ah, no backsies pal. We've come this far, haven't we?"
Dave looked unsure.
Alex huffed. "Well what are you worried about? Look, we're friends, OK? Friends don't hide stuff from each other. Whatever's going on with your dick, I'm sure I can handle it."
Dave finally relented. He was scared beyond his wits, and he was really hoping it wouldn't come to this, but Alex was right. This situation was totally weird, but maybe if he relented then it'd even things out...or something.
"OK, but don't say I didn't warn you." Alex rolled her eyes right before Dave extracted his erect cock out of his pants, at which point they became as big as saucers. Yup, this was what he was afraid of. Dave had an unusually large penis.
The last time he had gotten on a date with a girl, they had attempted to have sex, but his penis had gotten in the way and accidentally hurt her. Nothing serious, but it had certainly killed the mood, and Dave felt very guilty about the whole situation. Even before that, he'd had various awkward sexual exchanges with women, and he seemed to have the bad luck of being with women who just didn't know what to make of his dick size. Everyone always said big dicks were the shit, but in Dave's experience they only seemed to get in the way and make things needlessly complicated. His experience with women wasn't entirely negative, more mixed, but he never felt like he had a partner who was really matched to him. And with the look on her face, Dave was terrified he was about to ruin the friendship with one of his closest friends now thanks to his stupid big penis. Emphasis on "stupid". However, something unexpected happened. Alex's shock soon gave way to a look that did not indicate fear or disgust, but she seemed....intrigued by it. Excited, even.
"Holy shit. How did you fit this thing in your PANTS?" "I don't know, I mean, I guess it's a grower and not a shower..." Dave grew sheepish again. He didn't know how to deal with a girl who actually seemed drawn in by the length and girth of his member. Alex had a hungry look in her eyes as she gazed at his cock. As it rested on her stomach, he could feel her heat against it. Not just her ambient body heat or the heat of the hot shower water either. He could feel heat...further down.
And it felt...good.
Apparently Alex was thinking something similar, as one of her hands reached down and caressed the region that was currently obscured from his view by his own organ. She exhaled softly and then brought the hand back up and around his cock. He noticed how two of her fingers were wet. And sticky.
Yup, she was definitely attracted to him.
As she held his cock with her hand, gently rubbing her own fluids onto his extension, she made eye contact with him.
"You wanna do this somewhere else?" Dave asked, matter-of-factly.
This seemed to break her out of her trance, as she snorted and laughed at the comment. "Haha, yeah, this hard porcelain's not exactly comfy." Now it was Dave's turn to hold her. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her to her feet. "Well if it's comfy you want, I've got just the thing." He said, with a voice that surprised him as it came out of him. He sounded so much more suave and confident than he felt. Alex was into it though, seeing as she grinned and bit her lip mischievously as he helped her up. He cast aside his pants the rest of the way and Alex enthusiastically helped him lift his shirt over his head and drop it on the floor. The now fully-naked couple made their way over to his bedroom, where Alex laid on the bed and spread her legs open. At this point Dave noticed just how wet she was. The clear, sticky fluid had run down her smooth, tender inner thighs and was now slowly leaking out of her onto the bed. Her vulva was pink and puffy, clearly aroused and eager to accept his dick. Her face was flushed, and the rosy tips at the end of her hefty, plump breasts were standing up. He positioned himself missionary-style, with the tip primed at her entrance. He looked her up and down, finally allowing himself to savor her. Her body was unbelievably sexy, with her full breasts, toned stomach, bronzed skin, shapely hips, and smooth legs, but what he admired most about her was her face. She had a plain, tomboyish, average quality to her that drew him in. Her features were soft but also impish in a way that he could see her either beating him in a game or comforting him when he'd been having a rough day. She wore a choker, which accentuated her developed neck, and her eyes were a gorgeous, gorgeous shade of green. He hadn't really noticed before, but swore he could see sparkles dance in those eyes of hers.
"Well, what are you waiting for, dude? C'mon, put it in!"
And of course he'd be remiss not to mention her personality. Obviously the best part about her.
He acquiesced to her request, slowly easing his length into her eager slit. She let out a sound that was half-moan, half-sigh as he entered her, as if some tension deep within her was finally coming undone. He thought maybe he was feeling something similar, but there was no time for that right then. Right now, he had to be a man and pleasure his girl.
And pleasure her he did.
Starting slow, he eventually began to speed up and move at a more regular pace, thrusting in and out, trying to find the perfect angle. All the while, Alex seemed happy as could be to accept the full length and girth of his member, all the way down to the base. As he sped up Alex's moans became more intense and more high pitched. As he thrusted in and out of her he placed one hand on her shoulder for support and held hers with the other. They continued like that for a little while until eventually Alex said "H-hold-fuck! Hold on, I've got an idea!"
At this Dave stopped thrusting and allowed Alex to change her position around a bit. She requested something of him and he obliged, laying on his back with his cock pointing skyward.
With her back to him, Alex sat down on his lap and allowed his member to penetrate up into her. From this angle Dave could admire Alex's big butt, which he didn't object to in the least. He welcomed the opportunity to worship it properly as she bounced on him, cooing and moaning at the feel of him.
"You like that, dude?" He asked her. "F-fuck yeah! Your cock's fuckin'-ngh-amazing!"
Again they continued like that for a while, until Dave, in his fervor, spoke up. "This-ha-feels great, I just wish I could see those tits from here..." "Oh y-yeah? Is-ah-is it my tits you want?" She said, still bouncing on him. She then stopped bouncing for a minute and spun around, cock still inside her, so that he could admire her front, breasts included.
She grinned evilly as he placed his hands on her hips and she raised her arms behind her head, drawing attention to her toned, curvy body and hefty breasts. The jiggle of her tits as she bounced up and down was almost hypnotic in its rhythm, and it was almost as if she was getting off on him getting off on her, the pleasure was so mutual and intense.
Eventually Alex leaned over so her body was perpendicular with Dave's, her hips still working his cock and her pendulous breasts swinging around his face.
Without thinking any further, Dave opened his mouth and took one of her nipples in.
She moaned at the additional source of pleasure, and he did his best to alternate between both of them, trying to worship both equally, sucking gently and stimulating the bud by rubbing his tongue around it in circles. Eventually Alex ramped up the intensity and started slamming her hips onto his cock faster, to the point that he could barely even think straight at all. Right as he began to worry he might cum inside her on accident, a shivering, shaking sensation seemed to travel through her, and she screamed with pleasure as her orgasm rocked her body. He managed to hold against the sensation of her sex tightening on his cock, and as she came he swore he could feel a rush of warm liquid coming from her nipple in his mouth. Once she relaxed she pulled away and it was revealed to him that, indeed, his pleasure-addled mind was not just playing tricks on him. The nipple he had been suckling was gently trickling milk. She had lactated.
As if she couldn't get any hotter.
"OK...that was...intense..." Dave started. "...But now it's my turn." Gently but firmly grabbing his partner, he flipped their positions so that he now lay on top of her, an arm coiled underneath her lower back gently to support her, the other hand now once again holding hers. They stared deep into each other's eyes, and in an unspoken moment of understanding, the two kissed a deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues wrestled, probing each other and feeling each other out, and the sensation was wonderful for them both. Eventually Dave let go so that the girl could get some air, but she looked disappointed that he'd pulled away.
"Are you ready?" "Fuck yeah I am." She said, lust in her eyes and enthusiastic hunger in her voice.
With that, he entered her for the final time that evening, and began thrusting once more. He swore his cock had only gotten harder as it grew increasingly more and more pent up, but he was determined to let Alex climax at least once more before he released himself. He thrusted in the spot she'd come to like best, at an angle that drove her crazy with the pleasure of it all, and just to take her over the top he once again alternated between her breasts, licking and suckling and caressing the soft pillows of flesh with his hands, trying to coax the milk out of them as he had before. As he started thrusted faster and faster, he knew that his friend was getting closer to her peak, and her breasts once against began to leak. In the fervor she took one of her own breasts and began sucking on it enthusiastically, seemingly eager to taste herself, but as they drew toward the edge of their limit, both let go of the breast they had in their mouth "Alex, I'm gonna -urgh- come!" "Me-ahn!-too!" "I have to-ha-pull out!" "No, don't! I'm on birth control! Y-you can come inside me!" "Are you s-sure?" "Yes, please!" "COMING!" "COMIIIIING!!!" As their climaxes arrived, the two locked lips once more, practically screaming into each other's mouths in utter ecstacy. Dave got to feel Alex's pussy constrict his cock and squeeze the cum out of it, and Alex gushed as she felt her soaked pussy being flooded with her partner's white-hot seed. Another wave of pleasure-spasms rocked her body, and she rolled her eyes in pure euphoria. It was a full 30 seconds of the highest pleasure two people can give each other. They didn't just have sex that night. The two met each other, mind, body, and soul. They had the experience of finding each other, and finding that each was perfect for the other.
Chapter Twelve
Later on, they lay on the bed together, laying on their back, Alex laying on top of Dave, his cock still comfortable inside of her sex. Alex was enjoying the feel of his warmth inside of her, and for a time no words were said as the two simply enjoyed being a part of each other.
Then, Alex spoke up. "Hey Dave?" "Yeah?" Dave said, sounding as if he were in the process of falling asleep. "What were you gonna say to me earlier? Yknow, in the bathroom?" "Oh. Oh, yeah. Well, I was just gonna tell you that...I dunno, I felt like I'd been acting awkward around you and the reason why was cause...I didn't expect you to be a girl." "Oh yeah? How's that workin' out for ya?" "Pretty good now." He said, and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled and looked at him again. "I didn't expect you to be such a hot guy either, yknow. I was so embarassed when I got soda everywhere, I was just so nervous that I kinda lost my cool." "Yeah, well, maybe I should thank you for spilling that soda, cause look where we are now." "Hehe, yeah." She said contentedly, placing a hand on her warm belly. Dave's smile shifted into a more pensive expression. "I guess, I dunno, I was worried about making it weird by talking to you about it, I was afraid it might ruin our friendship." Alex contemplated this for a moment. "And now?" "Well, now it's just..." He made a gesture with his hand and a noise with his mouth to represent an explosion. "Y'know?" Alex smiled lopsidedly. "Yeah, I know." "Different." "Definitely." "But...I feel good." "Me too." "So, you wanna keep doing this?" Alex turned around to face him. In his state of post-orgasmic clarity, Dave's mind had settled on how beautiful she was. "You bet your sweet ass I do." The two shared another loving kiss. There was nothing sexual in it, as they were much too drained for that. It was a gesture of pure appreciation for one another. "Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Dave asked. "Boyfriend and girlfriend." Alex confirmed, nodding her head. "Okay..." Dave said, nodding off for the final time until the next morning. He sleepily mumbled out "love...you." Alex kissed him one more time on the cheek and spoke softly in his ear. "Love you too." She laid on him again, and the two lovers drifted into a deep, contented sleep.

Pokemon Spotlight: Sableye
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!
My name is Hidden and today I’ll be spotlighting my personal favourite pokemon, what better way to start a series of pokemon spotlights, eh?
So today I will be covering Sableye, the Darkness Pokemon!
Sableye is a Dark/Ghost type introduced in gen 3, where it could be discovered lurking in Granite Cave. This pokemon was the first Dark/Ghost type, which until gen 6 had no weaknesses, making it a really fun typing to play with. Sableye was blessed in gen 5, as it was granted the fantastic ability Prankster, which gives priority to Status moves, making it considerably more viable as its main two abilities are trash.
But enough with the chitchat, lets have a looksee at exactly how good Sableye is! This will be using gen 8 Sableye, but gen 7 Sableye will have occasional mentions since Sw/Sh did change things about Sableye.
1) Stats: So Sableye isnt exactly good stat wise. I mean its OK but its mediocre. Boasting a Base Stat Total (BST) of 380, Distributed as 50/75/75/65/65/50 (HP/Attack/Defense/SpecialAttack/SpecialDefense/Speed), its hard to see that Sableye could be viable but with its typing of Ghost/Dark, this was balanced by its lack of weaknesses, until gen 6, but by then Sableye had Prankster.
2) Abilities: So Sableyes primary abilities, Stall and Keen Eye are honestly awful. Keen Eye prevents accuracy loss and Stall means Sableye moves last in the turn. I dont quite understand the purpose of Stall but lets just push those to the side as we cover Sableyes Hidden Ability (HA), Prankster. Prankster is an extraordinary ability that makes Status Moves have +1 Priority, so moves like Will o’ Wisp and Quash go first. Sableye isnt the only user of Prankster of course, but in my opinion it makes the best use of it.
3) Movepool: Sableye’s movepool caters deeply towards Prankster, providing lots of Status moves and relatively little actual power. For power, Sableye gets Foul Play (Which we’ll discuss later), Shadow Ball, Psychic, Sucker Punch, Poltergeist (Another one for later discussion) and Power Gem. This means Sableye can dish out damage but with that 75 attack stat it wont actually be doing much. Status wise however, Sableye gets access to Nasty Plot, Trick, Quash, Will o’ Wisp, Recover, Taunt, Torment, Metronome and Substitute. All these moves can be mean with Prankster.
4) Mega: We can’t discuss Sableye without discussing its Mega. Back in gen 7 Sableye had a mega, which added a +100 to its BST and turned Sableyes meagre 380 into a 480 distributed as 50/85/125/85/115/20, and giving it Magic Bounce, which reflects any status move used on it back unto the opponent. For example, if the opponent used Stealth Rocks on Mega Sableye, the rocks would be rebounded onto the opponents side of the field! Mega Sableye made for a defensive powerhouse if used correctly, and even worked offensively when Trick Room was in effect.
5) Sets: Sableye’s movepool and Prankster makes it open to a wide array of different competitive sets, and I’ll be showing you the currently most viable one (according to Smogon) and two sets that I baked up in the lab to be as chaotic as humanly possible.
Defensive (Smogon)
Sableye @ Leftovers Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature - Foul Play - Recover - Will-O-Wisp - Encore
This set clearly makes use of Prankster to seriously impede any offensive powerhouse. I dont quite understand Foul Play being here, as Foul Play deals more damage the higher the opponents attack stat and Will o’ Wisp burns the opponent, which halves their attack stat? I ain’t the competitive genius so what would I know? I just like this gremlin alot.
Physical Chaos (Hidden’s Set)
Sableye @ Choice Band Ability: Prankster EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Shadow Sneak - Foul Play - Trick - Recover
This sets goal is simple, Give an opponent who doesnt want the Choice Band a Choice Band using Trick, this is normally a special attacker like Roserade who just tried to set up, and then Foul Play. Foul Play will do high damage due to the newfound high attack stat. Shadow Sneak is just nice Priority and STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and Recover gives you longevity.
(UPDATE: Foul Play doesnt increase in damage based on the choice band, but you are still stealing a powerful item and giving them trash in exchange)
Special Chaos (Hidden’s Set)
Sableye @ Choice Specs Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Poltergeist - Fling - Trick - Recover
This set fills a similar goal, but with different results. Heres the gist of it, say your opponent as an Assault Vest, which boosts its special defense in exchange for preventing it from using status moves. This hurts Sableye, who needs status to work. Solution? Throw the vest back at the opponent when you steal it. Assault Vest Fling does a solid 80 base power, so its certainly nice. But now you’ve used Fling, how do you do damage? Simple, Poltergeist. Poltergeist was one of the many new moves added in the Isle of Armor DLC, which in my opinion added so much to competitive pokemon, I love it. Poltergeist is a base 110 power Ghost move that only works if the opponent is holding an item. Thanks to Sableye, The opponent is now holding an item, and you can punish it for daring to hold your precious specs!
And that is Sableye covered. I didnt cover a Mega Sableye set because despite Showdown and the toxic fanbase’s begging, Megas are unlikely to return with the Dynamax meta and if they did it would tank competitive, since Rayquaza is confirmed returning. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk on this gemstone stealing Gremlin, Sableye! Hopefully you can see why I love this little man so much. Any questions? Feel free to ask! My sets aren’t SUPER-DUPER Viable, infact they can be countered easily, but they are fun and thats what matters!
Seeya’ll next time,
-Hidden

also for yall followers... were also revamping kasumi into a gay male quarian cuz like. it would have made what's-his-shit so much fuckin creepier first off and made her story even more poignant AND PLUS BIOWARE NEVER GAVE US A MALE QUARIAN SQUADDIE SO FUCK EM ILL MAKE MY OWN
tonight is “what could have been” night so yeah lmao!!! his name is azu he’s a good impish boy
like,,, i love kasumi very very much but also?? same as zaeed, her story would strongly benefit from not being human. pick a quarian because they’re considered only barely more threatening than a volus or hanar, and treated worse. an easy disguise. in all the big, fancy places kasumi gets into, a quarian would be expected to be part of the wait staff, slightly more sentient than furniture. get in and out with no problems.
course, there’s the issue that quarians have a reputation for being thieves, so obviously a disguise is in order. with quarian hips, an asari or a human female is the clear winner; a little modified cloak, and the digitigrade legs are nowhere to be seen. the hood and more mods hide the mask and tubes and suit seals, no problem. get in as a quarian, put up a hood and turn on some mods so nobody will be suspicious of the nice quiet human woman wandering around, steal some shit so everyone will suspect the human “kasumi goto” instead of that quarian dude from catering, return after stashing everything in time for the cops to start asking questions.
quarians are already walked all over and pushed down in canon. i love tali but kasumi being a quarian would bring a nice change of pace from how every other quarian in canon is almost exclusively concerned with the fleet. azu doesn’t need the fleet. who cares? he’s got all this valuable shit that’s worth more money than he’d even be able to fathom if he stayed on the fleet. livin the goddamn dream. it’d add so much more depth to her character than just “i do it cause it’s fun lol” (again, i love her, i’m not saying that’s a bad thing, i’m just saying some bonus depth would be nice).
imagine how much worse donovan hock would’ve seemed if kasumi and keiji weren’t human. it’s already plenty suspicious that all the guests at his party that are ostensibly all the big names in the criminal underground are somehow 99% human, we know bioware has plenty of stock models of other species they could have used so why they all human?? imagine how much more sinister that would have felt if kasumi wasn’t human, the dawning realization that not only is everybody here a human but there’s a very fucking horrifying good reason for that. and factor in being a non-council race, especially a species known for being physically weak like quarians, and that creepiness gets multiplied a thousandfold.
like,,,, y’all bioware had two chances to give us great characters in me2 dlc, and they DID, i’m not saying they didn’t, but what they gave us could still be better. have more depth, bring more meaning to the story, take away from the pervasive “humans is the bestest species in the galaxy and the only ones who can be special in a variety of ways” attitude bioware seems to present. give other species bigger shares of the spotlight, bioware

Repost, not reblog! Tag 6 muns you would like to get to know better when done!
Name: Nope Nickname: Hearty Age: 22 Faceclaim: It depends on muses, try not to use fc that are in that said fandom characters. Pronouns: They/Them Height: ...5′3 1/2″...Fight me. Birthday: October 29th Aesthetic: Moon, black and white, books, mangas, weapons, armor, video games, foxes, fruit snacks, stuffed animals, blankets, tennis racket, pills, computers, slippers, toys, pale skin, hazel eyes, blood, the moon, mickey mouse, a heart, stuff like that. Last song you listened to: Lost in Thoughts from the Fire Emblems DLC sung by Matt Mercer, because I like to hear Cor’s voice sing ♥ ...Uh...HUh. *goes to check.* 「LimS™」▸HIT & RUN ! - MEP
Favorite muse(s) you’ve written: Almost I have so many, but at the moment, Cid for canon muses, Cid Sophair. I love him as a character and how he interacts, I love his relationships and he is so much fun to play. But as always, my main and constant ones are my OCs, Angelic-Din-Mortem and Keaton-LiE-Vita, they are my prized treasures and I love my muses so much. They came a long way on tumblr, and Keaton was my very first blog and very soon Angelic, that was around 2013.
What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): Aw geez where to begin? Well I got into the fandom through Ardyn, I was looking for fcs for my OC Angelic and came to looking through KG. And found the perfect fc on my bby, almost same hair color, messy wild hair style, dark clothes, scruffy and yet impish playfulness, made Ardyn my muse, fricken adored him from then on out, later got into Reggie, have his blog, and made him another fc. I loved playing Ardyn, but after well life went to shit again and got hate and stuff, and just lost interest in Reggie, so many people played them and I needed to get my mind off things and fast and as much as possible, rping helped a lot with that, and while playing FF15 and looking through things, watching people and interactions, Cid showed up. A muse never really used, and yet a old man that I fricken love and reminds me of one of my favorite FF characters FF7 Cid and after a point I was like, FUCK THAT I’LL TAKE THIS OLD MAN ON AS MINE! So I did, saw how little love he got, made it my job to give him as much love as possible, gifs, headcanons, posts, soon icons and pictures and shit. So proud of my old man bby. I love old men, love playing them. So much easier to rp then most characters.
What are your favorite aspects of your current muse: See above in fav character to rp. And to add, he is a underestimated character that didn’t get a lot of screen time and love till King’s Tale, the man a bloody hoot, took the stereotype Cid of FF and made a whole new fulfilling character. And one that was very much needed in FF15, I don’t think it would even be close to the same without Cid, I think he did a lot of influence, even if it isn’t seen. He is a gruff old man that wouldn’t take shit from anyone, a worthy challenge for the upper class all mighty Ignis and Gladio, and their children Noctis and Prompto. Broke yer car, oh well, go and do what any person does and get the money by workin’ and pay us when yer ready. Need a upgrade on those toys of yers? Okay, but ya need to get these things first. Need a upgrade on that car? Well I can but it will cost ya like the rest. A person that got the royal system and got them as a person but also doesn’t baby feed them. But he will also open up his soft side when needed.
You see this very much in two parts, when Reggie dies and Noctis gets all mad and confused, like wth dad why? You can see how useless his friends could help him, help him get his old man, and you know who did? Cid, Cid was blunt with Noctis, he knew what Reggie was like, he knows the true side of Reggie that Noctis didn’t seem to get often, Noctis didn’t just learn more about his dad and looked up to him more and accepted it in a more healthy way, you get that Noctis got some peace in that, that his father did honestly love him and was going to show it to death itself. Another part is Cor, when he beats himself up for not doing his job, no one was able to help him there, not that we see, until Cid spoke up. Cid again understood Reggie and Clarus, he got Cor, he and Cor were in similar boats, unable to help those they care for when most needed, alive longer then they both think they should. Cid did his speech, about what friendships, brothers, and family truly about, we see how much it didn’t just affect Noctis, but Prompto and Ignis and Gladio, you get the oh and ah and opps from their expressions and reactions, but I bet similar happened to Cor, I bet you thats was very much for Cor and that Cid wanted Cor to know, and the kids to learn from this, learn from each other, and stuff. Cid was a huge influence I think and an amazing person that took the little things and made them huge, I fricken love that even after everything, he still gives it his all and does so much for those around him.
What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: I honestly don’t know...When I was a kid I just wanted to, I wanted to write a spin off of this one game I loved, but soon it turned into books for my OC and later book series, later wrote fanfics and over time felled in love. Rping was a thing since I was a whee bean, and kept it with me, rping tumblr one of the few things I can still do most of the time, and keeps my mind more positive and hopeful and kept me away from things I shouldn’t think of. I want to be good at something, something I can be proud of and others be proud of my, and I love rping, love day dreaming, so yeah.
Favorite types of threads: Aw geez, depends on my mood, and Cid’s. We can do all sorts, but with Cid, if I had to choose, either fluff or crack, no one can pull off crack like Cid can, not the way he does it anyway, the man a trouble making imp that loves to stir things up from time to time, very much when younger, he loves pushing buttons. And fluff, mainly because how influential he is to others, and how much of a father figure or brother or more he is to others. Like here is this old mechanic hermit like dude in the middle of no where, and how many and who sees him for comfort or advice or peace, even love? Honestly think he gets the most in game and rp. Well from if you count how many different people that is, King to shaped up restaurant owner thanks to Cid. Seriously man what you been doing for thirty years?
The biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: Speech style and background hands down. Here’s the thing about his speech, hands down Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama like style, but when you watch the cut scenes, the subtitles, you get the general goin’ and yer and ya and ya’ll like style, but the pain is how uneven and where he uses yer and ya, he doesn’t use those all the time and the general all southern accent. SO BLOODY CONFUSING AS HELL MAN, LIKE MAKE UP YER BLOODY MIND AND IF YOU LUCIS OR FRICKEN REDNECK HOT DAMN! XDDD And another is background, and here is why, besides King’s Tale and what he and Cindy and other say in FF15, pretty much got nothing on Cid and the other gang members and most characters in FF15, and being ocd and perfectionist, I don’t want to screw up his past, and how things happened between him and Reggie and how they met and shit. Also worried they may show those later at some point and if they do, opps. So yeah, I need to know more about my ol bois. I demand it, them and Ardyn...and more screen time for behemoths and cerberus.

How to Use IV Breeding and EV Training
February 18, 2020 10:00 AM EST
This in-depth competitive training guide will get you well on your way to becoming a Pokemon Master in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, the latest mainline entries in the Pokemon franchise, released on Nintendo Switch late last year. Sword and Shield made many changes to the Pokemon formula, including making it easier than ever to battle competitively. Millions play Pokemon casually, but the battle system is actually a lot deeper than it appears at first glance. The Pokemon you encounter in the wild will almost never be ideal for competitive battle. To have the best chances in intense battles with friends and to destroy five-star raids, you’ll want the best Pokemon available. That will involve breeding Pokemon with perfect IVs (individual values), and training those Pokemon to have ideal EVs (effort values).
With the upcoming DLC expansions and an endgame filled with raids, it’s a great time to get into Pokemon‘s complicated side. Thankfully, Game Freak has made this easier than ever before, and I’ll be telling you how to do everything step by step if you want to dig into the world of competitive Pokemon.
youtube
Step 1 – Unlocking the Judge Feature
The first step is to unlock the Judge feature. The Judge feature allows you to see your Pokemon’s IVs, which stands for “Individual Values”: these are the stats that Pokemon are given at birth, like Pokemon genetics. A Pokemon with perfect IVs is going to be more powerful than a Pokemon of the same species with lower IVs.
Game Freak kindly allows players to use the Judge feature from anywhere in Sword and Shield. Previously, you would have to show your Pokemon to a specific NPC in order to view IVs, so this is a very welcome change. Fortunately, the Judge feature is easily unlocked by winning six battles at the battle tower in Wyndon. Therefore, step one is technically beating the game, but I’m going to assume you’ve already done that. Once you’ve unlocked the Judge feature, you can press the “+” button to view Pokemon’s IVs inside of your PC boxes. When a stat says “best,” then you’ve got perfect IVs for that stat.
Step 2 – Catching a High/Perfect IV Ditto
The most important Pokemon for any breeder to have is Ditto, since Ditto can breed with any non-legendary Pokemon, regardless of their gender. Therefore having Ditto eliminates grinding to obtain a female Pokemon. More importantly, you’ll be able to use Ditto when you breed any Pokemon, plus you’ll be able to use items to pass down Ditto’s IVs.
In previous Pokemon games, finding a high IV Ditto was extremely difficult and completely up to luck. Thankfully in Sword and Shield, one of the possible five-star raid battles is Ditto. Pokemon in these difficult raid battles are guaranteed to have a minimum of four stats with perfect IVs, meaning that with multiple attempts you’ll eventually find one with all six stats perfectly maxed out.
You can find the best den for Ditto raids by flying to “Bridge Field” in the Wild Area. From there, you’ll want to go forward while staying slightly right. Cross under the furthest right pillars of the big bridge, and you’ll see a den with a small tree behind it. This den regularly spawns Ditto raids. In order to keep Ditto raids coming, you can collect wishing pieces from the left digging brother, or you can buy them with Watts.
Step 3 – Acquiring Important Breeding Items and Understanding Natures
There are two items that are absolutely necessary for IV breeding. The first is called a “Destiny Knot”. When held by a Pokemon while breeding, it guarantees that five IVs will be passed down from the parent Pokemon. You’re going to want to give this item to your Ditto. Luckily, the Destiny Knot can be purchased with 10 BP at the Battle Tower, an easy expense after unlocking the Judge feature.
The second item is an Everstone; known for not allowing the Pokemon holding it to evolve, the Everstone has an important use when breeding. When a Pokemon holds an Everstone while breeding, all of its offspring will have the same nature as the original Pokemon had. This item will be held by the Pokemon you are breeding with Ditto, once you’ve found one with the nature you want.
Obviously, if you don’t understand natures you’re probably lost right now, but to help clarify things, every Pokemon’s nature affects its stats. You can see this in your storage boxes; stats in red are boosted, while stats in blue are weakened. There are only a few natures important for competitive battle, and I’ll list them below along with their effects:
Adamant: + attack, – special attack
Bold: + defense, – attack
Impish: + defense, – special attack
Modest: + special attack, – attack
Calm: + special defense, – attack
Careful: + special defense, – special attack
Jolly: + speed, – special attack
Timid: + speed, – attack
These are essentially the only natures you will ever want to use in competitive battles. You may have noticed every nature I listed has a weakened stat of attack or special attack. This is because whenever you train a Pokemon for battle, you’re only going to be attacking with one type of move; special attack, or regular attack based, not both. For example, Tyranitar has an amazing move-set and base stats to be an attacker, while Gengar’s move-set and stats are ideal for a special attacker. You’ll never want to have the defense, special defense or speed stats weakened. This is because every Pokemon’s defense stats are used when it’s attacked, and out-speeding your opponent is a massive advantage. If you don’t know which Pokemon are good or which nature is ideal for them, Pokemon sites like Smogon are great resources.
It’s important to mention that you’ll also want to find a Pokemon that has your desired ability. Abilities are passed on from breeding, so you have to make sure the initial Pokemon you catch to breed with Ditto has the ability you desire.
Step 4 – Pokemon Breeding Process
Once you have your Ditto, Destiny Knot, and Everstone, you’re ready to start breeding. The process is very repetitive, but not very difficult. First, you’re going to need to catch a Pokemon you want to breed. You’ll want to breed that Pokemon with your Ditto (holding the Destiny Knot). At this point, you don’t want to do anything with the Everstone yet. Keep breeding this pair together until you hatch a Pokemon with the preferred nature you’re looking for.
At this point, you’ll want to give the Pokemon with the preferred nature the Everstone and put it in the nursery, replacing the previous Pokemon. For example, if I am breeding a Larvitar that has a modest nature with my Ditto, I’m going to keep breeding them together until I hatch an adamant nature Larvitar. Then I would take the modest nature Larvitar out of the nursery, give the adamant nature Larvitar the Everstone, and place the adamant nature Larvitar into the nursery.
Getting the correct nature is probably the most time-consuming part of breeding a new competitive Pokemon for your team. There is a faster method, though; natures can also be changed with Mints that can be purchased with 50 BP in the Battle Tower. However, I wouldn’t recommend that method, as it is more time consuming, and there are better, cheaper items to spend BP on.
Once you have your desired nature, the breeding process becomes very rinse-and-repeat. Every time you hatch a group of eggs, if one of the offspring has better IVs, you give that Pokemon the Everstone and put it into the nursery. This will slowly increase your odds of hatching a Pokemon with perfect IVs. Most importantly, you don’t need every stat to say “best” and have a perfect IV; you’ll want to disregard the one stat that you aren’t using. In my example, I have bred an adamant Larvitar. Because my Larvitar is adamant–which gives it plus attack, minus special attack–it doesn’t matter what its special attack IV is, simply because it won’t be using any.
Now that you have a perfect IV Pokemon, it’s time to EV train. Thankfully, EV training is extremely easy in Sword and Shield and will only take a few minutes. Meaning, most of your work from this point on is done.
Step 5 – EV Training Pokemon
Each Pokemon can only earn 510 EVs, and each stat is maxed at 252 EVs; four EVs translates to one stat point. This means through EV training, you can raise your total stats for a Pokemon by 127. Whether you realized it or not, every time you’ve played a Pokemon game, you’ve actually EV trained your party throughout the game; however, you didn’t focus in on the important stats. In general, the most important stats to EV train are your attack/special attack, and your speed, with the extra EVs going into HP or a defensive stat, but I’ll go into that in more detail later.
Ultimately, Sword and Shield have made EV training easier than ever compared to past games with multiple methods, some of which take no time at all. Regardless, I’ll list every method below, starting with my favorite.
Vitamin Method – Vitamins are, in my opinion, the easiest way to EV train, and the only way I EV train my Pokemon. Vitamins are items that raise a given stat by 10 EVs. There is a Vitamin item that corresponds to each stat, and they can be purchased in the Wyndon Pokemon Center for 10,000 Pokédollars each. This means that to fully EV train one Pokemon, you’ll need 530,000 Pokédollars. It’s a large sum of currency, but I certainly prefer it to the other methods.
Additionally, I’ll spend all my Watts on the Digging Duo, and sell my rewards to fund my EV training; this way, I don’t have to do any real grinding in order to EV train my Pokemon. For my Larvitar, I want to max EV train its attack and speed; therefore I’ll purchase 26 Protein and 26 Carbos, and use them all on Larvitar. With two stats maxed, Larvitar can now only earn one more stat point, which I’ll allocate into HP by purchasing and using an HP Up. This is undoubtedly the easiest and fastest EV training method.
Traditional Method – The traditional method for EV training is always an option. If you’re interested in trying this method, the first thing you should do is go to the Hammerlocke Pokemon Center with 60 BP and talk to the League Trainer on the right. Once there, you will be able to buy Power items. There are six different Power items: the Weight, Bracer, Lens, Belt, Band, and Anklet. These six items double EV gain for HP, attack, special attack, defense, special defense, and speed respectively. The only downside is that they cut your Pokemon’s speed in half while being held.
Once you have your Power items, you’re ready to EV train. You gain EVs based on the highest stat of a Pokemon that you defeat. For example, if I’m trying to EV train my Larvitar’s speed, I’d give it the Power Anklet and grind battles against Rookidee. Rookidee’s highest base stat is speed, so it’s the Pokemon that I would go to for EV training speed.
For more information on base stats to choose which Pokemon to EV train against, I’d refer to Pokemon sites like Serebii and Bulbapedia. While doing this method, you can have Pokemon contract a disease called “Pokérus” which doubles EV gain. Pokérus is pretty rare, but once one a Pokemon is infected, it will spread to other members of your party; even after the disease is gone, that Pokemon’s EVs will always be earned twice as fast.
It’s easy to see how this method would be extremely time-consuming. Personally, I don’t recommend the traditional method, but if you’re tight on Pokédollars and don’t want to blow your Watts on the Digging Duo, it can be a good option.
Job Method – The job method is a brand new method introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield, which is very simple and requires literally no work; however, this method easily takes the most time, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re in a rush.
The first step for this method is to buy the Power items I mentioned under the “Traditional Method” section. You then give the Pokemon you are training the Power item correlating to the stat you want to train in. Then, simply walk into a Pokemon Center and select “Check Poké Jobs.”
If you scroll down to the bottom you should see six different seminars, one for each stat. Sending Pokemon to these seminars will reward 4 EVs each hour. The options are 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours, meaning the maximum amount of EVs you can get from one seminar is 96 plus a bonus 8 for holding the corresponding Power item.
This method technically allows you to EV train 60 Pokemon at once–or 10 per stat–but ultimately, it takes five days to EV train one Pokemon. Personally, I’d rather spend 530,000 Pokédollars, but it’s always an opportunity to passively EV train while competing in the Battle Tower, or for finishing up the last few EVs on a Pokemon without buying vitamins.
Help! I Trained the Wrong Stat! – If you accidentally EV trained the wrong stat, you can still save that Pokemon. There are six different Berries, each of which lowers a Pokemon’s EVs by 10. These Berries are listed below alongside their corresponding stat:
Pomeg: HP
Kelpsy: attack
Qualot: defense
Hondew: special attack
Grepa: special defense
Tamato: speed
Concluding Thoughts and Advice
This guide includes a ton of information, and your first time training a perfect Pokemon will feel like a grind. However, once you have that perfect Ditto, the process really speeds up. I’ve bred some perfect Pokemon in about 20 minutes, but the process could easily take an hour or two with bad luck. Ultimately though, you only need six Pokemon in order to have a competitive teaml after that you can simply breed, whenever you want different options.
Sword and Shield definitely have made the complex process of IV breed and EV training far easier than ever before, and having these more competitive Pokemon is a massive advantage in raids and battles against friends. If IVs seem complicated, then it’s perfectly fine to only worry about nature and EVs; at the minimum, breeding and training a competitive team will give you something to do in the lacking endgame while waiting for the expansions to release.
Finally, if you are looking to dive deeper into breeding and training the perfect Pokemong, there are sites like Smogon where you can see other people’s competitive teams: that includes their IVs, EVs, natures, movesets, abilities, and held items. These sites are great places to choose which Pokemon you want to train next and how you should train them. Besides having type coverage, in building a competitive team you’ll need tanks, physical sweepers, special sweepers, leads to set-up hazards, and a Pokemon that can clear enemy hazards. Sites like Pokemon Showdown enable you to battle against people online with any team you want, allowing you to test any Pokemon you’re thinking about breeding before making the time commitment in Sword and Shield.
In conclusion, there is a lot more to battling in Pokemon than the simple rock-paper-scissors formula that people assume it is. Diving into competitive battle, or even just breeding Pokemon for max raids, is a huge advantage and can infinitely increase the amount of time you sink into Sword and Shield. Regardless of whether or not you decide to venture into the realm of IV breeding and EV training, I hope this guide helps you understand some of the deeper mechanics underlying the latest installments in one of the world’s most beloved gaming franchises.
