#false swiper

[sl33py-g4m3r]

what's the best false swiper for scarlet and violet?

I've been torn between 2 good ones but weighing all the pros and cons is driving me nuts

Breloom w spore/false swipe w poison orb/poison heal or...

gallade w hypnosis/false swipe and idk what ability

Gallade has more weakness cover ups than breloom does, and not a 4x weakness to flying

but also hypnosis is 60% accurate and spore is 100% accurate.

tho idk if spore would work on any legendary that happens to be grass type >_< might make both for that reason...

I just realized in the tags to get spore to work I could use soak to make the pokemon water type and thus it would no longer be grass... Also how to get false swipe to work on ghosts is the same unless said false swipe mon has scrappy or some other method to hurt ghost types w normal moves...

enjoy my inner thoughts, lol.

I answered my own question but still can't make up my mind...

it's legendary catching time for the indigo disk baby~~~ well the ones I can get anyway. Sibling has the other version and we've been doing blueberry quests to unlock mine (cause they don't have access to snacksworth yet) and is busy playing another game. So rip other versions version exclusives until they're ready to play more.)

If you accidentally knock it out what happens? Is it just a one and done thing and it won't respawn? I know you can restart the game and have autosave off but just in case, will they respawn for you to catch later or is it once and you're screwed forever if you don't restart your game?

if i had a nickel for every time i found a female shiny starter in the past month i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Felt like showing off my two most recent full odds shiny pokemon. Got these two cuties in the polished crystal romhack.

Started doing more shiny hunting now that I have my shiny charm, and I’ve actually gotten quite a few. The list so far is as follows

Fidough, Dedenne, Minior (2 of them, one yellow and one blue), Sawsbuck (winter), and Tandemaus!!!

There’s a bunch more I really want though, this is pretty fun! (At least when I succeed. Hatching 3 and a half boxes of Mimikyu eggs and having none of them be shiny is tiring and demotivating) But hey! Shiny Maushold with a funny moveset!!! Its name is “♾️ rats” and their moveset is pound, play rough, bullet seed, and population bomb! I’m hilarious

Fun fact btw: the Only full odds (meaning the chances of me getting the shiny was 1/4096) was a shiny buizle named “banana™️”

So, in working through the Pokemon DLC, thanks to the heads-up that I'll need capable pokemon from the DLC itself, I've decided to swap out my False Swipe-using party leader, so that I can level another pokemon that might be useful for specific challenges, while still having a pokemon that can help catch any of the new species lurking around out there.

So, I start going through the ones I have caught, looking for one that I can teach False Swipe to.

And like, the answer seems to be a universal "No."

None.

Not a one of them can learn False Swipe.

I'm getting down to the very end of the ones I've caught so far.

When suddenly, an old friend, recently caught anew declares like a shining beacon of hope, that he can learn False Swipe.

There will be a new party leader.

He'll bring 'em in warm, or he'll bring 'em in cold. Whatever the situation requires:

(This is a screenshot from a wallpaper I found on the internet however long ago. It did not however, come with a credit as far as I can recall, and this image is used around the internet a lot. I'm afraid my google-fu has not been able to find the appropriate credit)

[catgirlkirigiri]

Should I go for roaring moon first or frigibax first

[mx-princey]

I caught him! His name is grape

I WAS JUST IV TRAINING

[clannfearrunt]

I’d meant to keep RioluHq dot com the Scizor kind of as a Side Member just as mainly my False Swiper but he’s slowly spending more and more time in my main team lineup... he’s just so... *kisses sweetly* my dubious lab grown guy...

[monsoon-of-art]

And we got our False Swiper! Male, Leaf Guard ability, Quirky nature. Name is still pending but for now it's 'Muta'

MASSIVE REVELATION! James O’Keefe Releases Undercover Video of CIA Contractor Admitting CIA Director Withheld Info from Trump and Spied on His Presidency

ames O’Keefe last Friday warned he was about to release the most important story of his entire career.

“I have evidence that exposes the CIA, and it’s on camera. I am working on releasing a story that I believe is the most important of my entire career,” O’Keefe said on Friday.

“Do you think it’s a coincidence that right at this moment I am subject to an endless series of attacks?” he said. “This is obviously a sophisticated information operation designed to stop me from releasing this story. I’m sure you recognize they are masters of using half-truths and innuendos to raise doubt against people who don’t deserve it. It’s meant to consume my time and energy and make me back down.”

“But I’m not going to let it work. Rest assured, nothing will stop me from releasing this story,” O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released part one: Exposing the CIA: A project manager working in cyber operations told OMG’s undercover journalist that the Director of the CIA would keep information from Trump.

He also said the CIA spied on Trump’s presidency and is still monitoring him to this day.

“So the agencies kind of, like, all got together and said, we’re not gonna tell Trump…Director of the CIA would keep [information from Trump]…” Amjad Fseisi, a project manager working in Cyber Operations for the CIA with top-secret security clearance told an undercover journalist.

Amjad Fseisi said Trump is a “Russian asset” – “He’s owned by the f*cking Russians,” he told the undercover journalist.

Per James O’Keefe:

Amjad reveals to OMG’s Undercover American Swiper that intel agencies not only kept intelligence information from a sitting United States President and Commander-In-Chief, they also used FISA to spy on President Trump and his team and are still monitoring President Trump according to Amjad who says, “We monitor everything.” Amjad adds “we also have people that monitor his ex-wife. He likes to use burner phones” – information only an insider with access to highly sensitive information would state. “We steal it [information]” and “We hack other countries just like that,” Amjad, who states he currently works on the CIA’s China Mission Center, explains how intel agencies obtain information. He also describes a broken intelligence system where “We don’t share information across agencies” because the CIA is “very reluctant” to share information with the “careless” NSA. O’Keefe Media Group’s bombshell undercover footage supports earlier reports by investigative journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag that revealed how the American intelligence community illegally ran a spy operation against then-candidate Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and illegally acquired intelligence that was later used to justify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (@FBI) official probe, “Crossfire Hurricane,” which in turn led to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that ultimately did not find evidence of Russia collusion by the 2016 Trump campaign. Contractors like Fseisi hold the duty to withhold sharing confidential or national security information. In denying his statements, Fseisi may have realized he could be held liable for violating internal agency provisions and federal laws like the Executive Agency ethics provisions, which restrict what he may share with others outside of his contracted-to agency. Additionally, any government worker or agency head who withheld information from a superior (i.e. President Trump) may violate: (a) obstruction of justice by deception (18 USC 1512); (b) conspiracy to obstruct (18 USC 371); and false statements (18 USC 1001). Agency regulations may also provide offenses related to insubordination, reflecting poorly on the agency in public, or misrepresentation or dishonesty. When James O’Keefe caught up with Amjad Fseisi on the streets of Washington, D.C., Fseisi could not tell O’Keefe whether he had top secret clearance, denied making statements clearly caught on camera, and would not even confirm it was him on the video saying only “It looks like me.” When asked directly if he works at the CIA, Fseisi said, “I can’t tell you that.”

i have reached 1,500 SRs 🐛

i've started my type: null shiny hunt now and this should b the last of the big ones i'm going for so luck pls b kind!

[taptrial2]

while trying to get castform to show up, this japanese weavile i've had since 2016 from wonder trade finally levelled up! it has maxed out pp for all of its moves, so i'm pretty sure the person who wonder traded this did it by accident. there's no proof that this is genned or anything, i think someone was just... prepping a false swiper and made an oopsie while menuing. mine now forever.

[fritzwilhelm]

Probably a dumb idea, but I am going to try and express this as un-annoyingly as I can. I will likely fail and possibly already have.

Yes, the U.S. electoral system is a very stupid game that is rigged in many ways. I don't like that and neither should you! It SHOULD be changed. Unfortunately, one of the ways that it is rigged that people don't always grasp, is that (while it exists as is) there is no real way of opting out on moral grounds. Do you know why?

>Because you cannot opt out of the consequences. It is not a game that you chose to play. You and I were born into a trolley problem with our hands duct-taped to the lever and a gun to our heads. Fucked up, but here we are.

>Because those in power don't actually need the complete mandate of all U.S. citizens to hold power. They just need to have all of the guns (and some of the duct tape), which they do and will continue to have even after you make a show of not voting in this election. You are not at risk of granting them "legitimacy"; the only kind that they need comes free, de-facto with all of the guns (even if many in government would like to dress it up as a beautiful act of harmonious democratic participation). The blood is not "on your hands". It is on the hands of the people with all of the guns that duct taped yours lever. Do not mistake coerced participation within the electoral system with advocacy for said system. (Also, some of you should stop advocating so hard for said system as though it is beyond reproach)

>Because those in charge only benefit politically (on the world stage and at home) by having the appearance of the mandate of the majority of their voting populace (amongst which most non-voters are often not cleanly counted as a solid ideological block performing an act of unified conscientious objection for a specific purpose; going to protests does help with this to a point, so you should do it).

I understand if you feel like you are being held hostage by the government or the democratic party. That is, because WE ARE! That's one of the shitty parts of what a government is, and one of the shittiest parts our current one.

But you probably already knew this.

The thing about being held hostage is that even once you've realized your situation, you are still held hostage after having that revelation. There is no saying "A-ha! I see your little tricks and you won't get me!" and suddenly getting a deeply entrenched political hierarchy to knock it off "Swiper, No Swiping!" style overnight. The gun is still to your head.

What's more, I and a lot of the people I love are being held hostage next to you! We would not like to be shot, so please help us by playing along despite your justified revulsion until we can come up with an effective way out of this.

And enough of us WOULD like to find a way out of this. Not trying to come off as defeatist here, just realistic. You SHOULD be practicing mutual aid! You SHOULD be donating to people in Gaza!! You SHOULD be furiously protesting the Biden administration for it's participation in a genocide (among many other reasons)!!! AND you SHOULD be considering lots of things that would require me to say "In Minecraft" after them ad nauseam. YOU SHOULD ALSO VOTE. These things have never been mutually exclusive. All forms of revolution done at scale, fast or slow, glorious or glacial (obnoxiously, pendulously glacial), are going to feel fucking disgusting at points. Voting is just another vector for this that is really costly to ignore.

I am seeing a lot of the usual 🙄 infighting in leftist spaces rn. Largely it's a partisan division built up around a false dichotomy. Apparently, you are either:

-A patronising Millenial/GenX neo liberal who is oblivious to the flaws of electoralism and US Imperialism and is OK with the zionist genocide. Someone who Hates on Mutual Aid solutions! Someone selfish in the face of real human plights in other countries.

OR

-A bitter, cynical 22 yr old tumblr communist whose ideals yield no practical solutions, who might EVEN be some kind of party traitor or #russian-psyop-chatGPT bot for criticizing the evident faults in the electoral process or daring to say they don't really like Kamala Harris.

You do not need to be a neo-lib shill who is down with zionism to agree with anything that I have said (Even if those fucking idiots will be in your voting block). And NO, the angry trans youth on your dash are NOT just Putin's patented Election Interference Bots that you can shout down like a boring off brand mccarthyist. We are already going to have to deal with the public fuckery on Elon's personal little billboard of a site this year so lets be careful not to risk making up more guys to get mad at.

I understand that you are routinely misled by the scale and immediacy packaged as the magical promises of voting blue by democratic politicians and their advocates. That bullshit will continue for as long as there are bulls to shit.

I understand that I am asking you to weigh, not just two memed-on dickhead politicians in suits, but instead two impossibly large oceans of human blood so big that they defy the human capacity for understanding of scale. I understand that I am asking you to pick the ocean that you think is smaller and put your face in it. I understand that it may not even work.

I understand that you have too much horror going on already.

But I am asking you. I will be stuck here asking you every few years until the system changes or we both are dead.

I am sorry that this place fails us so often.

[opinated-user]

This is like, totally unrelated to any of the Lily stuff whatsoever, but I wanted to tell you because I thought it was fun

I used to be very neutral towards Gallade. I loved Gardevoir, but I didn't have strong feelings about Gallade one way or another. But always seeing your Gallade icon, hearing you talk about Gallade and knights, it made me really want to give him a shot. I happened upon a male Ralts in a tera raid, and Lancelot the Gallade joined my party soon after. I adore him so so so much. He looks so cool in battle, he hits hard, and he's an excellent False Swiper. I've been dipping my toes into shiny hunting for the first time, and he's been by my side all the way!

So basically, thank you for opening my eyes to the coolness of Gallade ^w^

gallades are just protective best buddies who look super serious, but you know deep inside are big softies who just want the best for you. how can you not love them?? i just have a lot of emotions about this knighlty pokemon and i'm so glad i had a part in more people learning to appreciate them!

[magicmalcolm]

That awkward moment when you've forgor to bring your False Swiper (no swiping).

Worth it tho.
