pokemon violet – The Daily SPUF

Sizzle the Salazzle VS Sylveon, both terastallized.

On Not Finding Terastallizing Not That Useful

I’ve been playing a bit of Pokemon Scarlet lately, preparing teams in order to battle the Elite 4. Most of my farming though has been doing Tera Raids, solely for the items, since those raids don’t seem to give experience. But I’ve also been doing Tera Raids in order to try and find something interesting. I’ve… kinda failed at that so far. The idea behind Terastallizing is pretty cool. Your Pokemon turns into its Tera type, which can be any of 18 different types, it gets all shiny and crystal-y, and gets an ugly, stupid jewel crown representing said type… [Continue Reading]

Conquering Arven

December 23, 2023December 23, 2023 Medic 0 Comments path of legends, pokemon violet

When I last left Pokemon Violet, I did so with my tail between my legs. After a long battle, I’d been brutally beaten by Arven, the guy I had fought beside along the Path of Legends. His level 60 team kicked the ass of my team, and I was kinda put off. This time though, I came prepared. I didn’t have a full level 60 team, but fuck it, with three Pokemon at level 60 or higher, plus better counters, I had faith this time. I started off with Riff the Lycanroc, my idea to beat Arven at his own… [Continue Reading]

On Suddenly Jumping Back Into Pokemon Violet After Not Playing for Ages

December 20, 2023December 10, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon violet

The other day, aabicus popped me a message, saying that you could get a shiny Lucario in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet by entering the code “SH1NYBUDDY”. For some reason, Pokemon codes are allergic to the letters i and o. Either way, I thought a free Lucario was pretty cool, and I opened up Pokemon Violet. After about three different updates because I hadn’t used my Switch in a while, I finally got my shiny Lucario, only to realize two things: firstly, it was level 75 so it wouldn’t obey me, and, secondly, I already had a Lucario in my party.… [Continue Reading]

“So What Happened To That Pokemon Violet Series?”

April 20, 2023April 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon violet

A while back, I started playing Pokemon Violet. I intended to do a complete playthrough, the same way I did with Pokemon Shield. However, it turns out that Pokemon Violet has a little too much to do, and, well, I kinda lost interest. To recap, I did do a bit of everything. I caught some Pokemon, I did some battles, you know the drill. The gyms I did were rather easy, but they weren’t particularly interesting. I also did one Team Star base, which I completed rather quickly, but I didn’t particularly enjoy. What did interest me was the Path… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 11

The last thing that Miraidon needs is the ability to climb walls. Luckily, Miraidon can learn that if we go to Paldea’s massive lake, which is filled with level 50+ Pokemon. Really, I should be staying away from this place. After all, aside from Ringo, all my Pokemon are around level 40, with one of them being only level 35. But here I am, on an island in the middle of a sea, looking for a gigantic Pokemon that’s not there yet. Instead, I find myself battling a Tatsugiri that repeatedly says “Taitan”, giving away that it is in fact… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 10

March 9, 2023February 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments playthrough, pokemon, pokemon violet

So I’m now here in Medali, working my way towards the Normal Badge. It’s taken me a while to actually get here, mostly because I have been avoiding Nemona. The last time I saw her, she appeared in the Medali gym and had just finished it. She wanted to fight, but had the wrong Pokemon, so Nemoma dashed off and left me alone. Before I could do anything else though, I need to do the gym challenge. What’s weird is that this gym challenge is food-based, kinda like the Water Gym. But this time, I have to find a bunch… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Violet and Stalking

March 7, 2023February 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon violet

Everyone in Pokemon Violet is stalking me. I’m not normally a paranoid person, at least I am not any more, but something is massively bothering me in the new Pokemon games. Since day 1, I have been some sort of prodigy, some super powerful trainer, despite mostly fluking my way through with just a cat made of grass and a dog with horns and a devil tail. Honestly, it’s mostly the weed cat. But yeah, everyone seems to know who I am and everyone seems to know where I am too. At first, I just thought it was my rival,… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 9

So the next gym on the list is a Water gym. It’s located in Cascarrafa, which happens to be next to a pretty large desert. It’s supposed to be a bit of an oasis, and has running water at least. So the first thing I do is find the gym, which has a lift for you to get up to it. But as I approach the gym, someone rushes out of it and disappears, followed by a secretary shouting. Turns out, the water gym leader has forgotten his wallet, which is something that seems to happen a lot around here.… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 8

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally leveled up my Pokemon to an acceptable level and caught a bunch of unrelated Pokemon, and it’s time to actually do some story stuff. Instead of doing gyms though, I decided to focus on doing titans, in order to make my Miraidon stronger and more mobile. However, the last time I faced a titan, it beat the crap out of my under-leveled Pokemon and I had to run away. This time, I’m coming prepared. Both of the titans I am about to fight are steel types, meaning I’ll need fighting types. Can’t use… [Continue Reading]

Okay so I’ve been a tad busy. I found and caught a Gible, and immediately I wanted to level the little bastard up, because, well, I don’t have a dragon type on my team yet. But also, a little birdy told me that I might need a ground type in a bit. That’s because I’m heading off to the electric gym on the other side of the world map. All those Pokecenters were well worth walking to. But before I go in with just one ground type, I consider bringing something else too. A second ground type. There were wild… [Continue Reading]
