Only evolves by trading

>only evolves by trading


REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Are we really sure he won't explode during trading?

Just wait until the randomizer starts supporting SM

mubarak pokemon,i like this guy

There's a dude who wants a haunter, Give him the haunter and he'll trade you a graveler that automatically evolves into golem

>has been like that since gen 1
>niggers still complaining

That golem can also carry you throughout the game just like mine desu.

So it's like how Pokémon has always been?

>he thinks every pokemon is the same

>non-hidden ability Golem

what's even the fucking point? Making all your Normal abilities become electric and do 20% more damage is the entire point of using him

because this are normies dude, go to VP if you watn to trade it

What's the problem, just give it to a friend and have him pass it back.
You do have one friend right?

You mean they didn't slap an everstone on him as a fuck you like they did in D/P?

Just trade your graveler with a friend then trade it back OP.

>Only evolves by trading
Never understood the logic.
>You need to trade it away and hope the person trades it back!

go to a wifi general in /vp/ and find some faggot to trade with.

It encouraged playing with friends. That's the whole reason there's version exclusive pokemon.

Or you know
Have a friend

>You mean they didn't slap an everstone on him as a fuck you like they did in D/P?
This will never not be funny

It's still tedious to send it to them then have it sent back.
Should be a one way thing

>playing pokemon past the age of 12
>having friend(s) that play pokemon past 12
shig

It would be a one way thing if you and your friend were more altruistic.

>the level you find Geodudes learn self destruct

Called for help changing Shiny never unless you gotta a Pokémon with Damp

user I will trade with you right now I have a fuckhead kadabra with no moves and I wanna fill out my pokedex so two birds one stone I get 3 mons in my dex and you get your bro back with an alolan allahu akbeard

>posts on a board dedicated to video games
>gets upset by people enjoying video games

>I have a fuckhead kadabra with no moves
Everyone does since GF fucked up and somehow disabled it from learning confusion.

The entire point of trading was because of version exclusives

Your meant to do it with friends

The real FUCK YOU is requiring specific Pokémon to trade with each other to evovle like that beetle and snail whose name I can't remember

>no national dex

what the fuck gamefreak?

also you get no TMs to teach it shit between the first two islands. Dickhead has been getting all this exp and I never bothered to check ahead of time to see if he could learn anything.

I shoulda wonder traded that asshole as soon as he evolved.

They really dropped the ball hard with him. The only TMs he can learn is Hidden Power and Grass Knot neither are all that great for him.

ALLAHU ACKBAR!

>yfw Merciless ability

what???

Graveller has 4 arms
Becomes Golem which has 2 arms but has a better body shape/structure

Machoke has 2 arms and a well built body
Becomes Machamp with 4 arms and looks like its made of stone

Machoke and Graveller swapped traits when they where trade evolved with eachother

Considering how many 30 year old tards were running around playing Go seriously, it's not exactly rare.

>gets upset
???

Go isn't the same and was a free app for smartphones, big difference.

>Alola Akbar

What did Gamefreak mean this?

>Toxic spikes
>Toxic
>Venoshock
>Barricade
Fucking unstoppable fortress.

for those who play the multiplayer, how's the meta looking in S/M? From what I've heard, Z-moves are actually a positive addition that add some variability to different builds

Pokemon was literally designed to make use of handheld cross-play.

Nintendo had a shit time selling cable links for gameboy is the 90's because there were hardly any multiplayer games and those that had them weren't enticing enough to be worth the price.

Then this autist had an autist-vision and imagined electric creatures moving through the wires, inspiring him to go to Nintendo and sell his idea that the cable links could be used to trade party members in an rpg.

Is there a CIA available already? Did some searching but I only come across shady sites and suspicious torrents

You're not really meant to trade it back. Most people who play pokemon are kids who don't metagame. They're not concerned about about EVs and IVs and all that crap.

There was one available like 10 days before the games came out

Trading it back has nothing to do with meta game and shit.
It's about getting the pokemon itself

>Trading
>Gen 1
lmao

Nobody here plays competitive.
Casual only.

Pelippers and Tapo Kokos everywhere from what I heard

where

>muslim beard
>twin towers on back
>explodes
What did Gamefreak mean by this?
Compfag here, the beginning of each gen's meta is fucking insufferable. Kokos and le bug of many balanced beast boosts everywhere. Fucking cancer.

...

thats why you get your friend to trade away his that he doesnt want user, youre not supposed to double trade

I forgot about this, jesus christ that pissed me off

>no scald
enjoy being setup bait for mega scizor

Wasn't Pelipper a shitmon?
What happened?

Drizzle

Biggest fuck you to the players, followed closely by ORAS "hey remember the Battle Frontier? Yeah we don't have that. Here's how it might have looked though"

I was literally the only kid in my shitty circle of friends whose parents werent dirty poor so I was the only one that played pokemon. I never traded in my life.

and Torkoal got drought, and gigalith got sand stream (I forgot who got snow warning now)

I like that Gamefreak is at least trying to buff shitmon now with stat boosts and new abilities

There's an NPC in the Pokémon center near the Ghost trial that will exchange you a Graveler for an Haunter. The Graveler holds a Z crystal and thus DOES evolve, it's not one of those Everstone troll trades

Alola Ninetails got snow warning.

Alolan Ninetales got Snow Warning, so it can instantly set up Aurora Veil because fuck you

What did he mean by this?

Z-Moves are fine, you lose your item slot and you can only use it once per battle for what is basically a 5th move slot.

Problem is all the new pokemon kind of suck

Its tropico man!

Z-move are ok. Enough of a tradeback/gamble on using them so that they don't outclass everything and become a staple of literally every single team like Megas did, but still good enough to be worth using if you plan around it.

>bug of many balanced beast boosts
What pokemon is that?

Probably the cockroach.

vanilluxe also got snow warning. nobody uses it over alolan ninetails though because it doesn't get aurora veil

Pheremosa

They pretty much are a staple though, because no item outclass them. Remember gems? This is like a gem, but better. I don't think they're OP though and I like them.

Well even if that were true, which it isnt, its still better because they can go on any pokemon instead of forcing you to have M-Salamence and/or WE WUZ KANGS on every team
