I know we already had the Fighting tera used but I think it'd have been cute if normal decidueye was using its hisuian associated tera (likewise for eventual Typhlosion and Samurott 7* raids)

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
L + ratio + Screech + Belly Drum + Helping Hand + Thunder Punch
Nah but I love Rowlet so I'm looking forward to this
Decidueye has 2 Fighting type moves from TMs, so if he's not given those, Kingambit's a sturdy attacker option if you can make neutral work. Otherwise I assume debuff spam and the usual Iron Hands can be made to work, since it lacks anything SE against the combo and Physical Bulk is Hands' specialty.
At best I expect some boost spam for Clear Smog promotion and maybe one Noob-Trap coverage (i.e. something for the Dragons)

- The pokemon being sent out at the beginning is a Pyroar visible for one frame
- Great Tusk using Ice Spinner against Arcanine
- Fighting the wild Chien-Pao with a Dragapult
- Iron Thorns using Thunder against a Noivern
- Ceruledge using Solar Blade on a Scyther
- Iron Treads using Hyper Beam against Houndoom
- Kingambit using Focus Blast on Zoroark
- Annihilape using Overheat against Great Tusk
- Koraidon looks weird
Also this one shot shows visible co-op trainers in Area Zero of all places.

If anyone asks, the Ceruledge player was probably testing the Solar Blade animation on a random wild Pokémon, as most animations you find after gen 5 are usually just still images. Same as the Iron Treads user (slightly questionable though).
(everyone else is just being a 5yo and clicking funny moves)
Is this new info? Paradox names for Koraidon and Miraidon.

Celesteela is Life
Nah, that's in their Dex entries for their respective versions.
Koraidon's Scarlet entry for example: This seems to be the Winged King mentioned in an old expedition journal. It was said to have split the land with its bare fists.
they're mentioned in their dex entries.
Does the "new run of the event" mentioned with respect to Walking Wake and Iron Leaves mean anyone can catch them, or will it be limited only to people who were affected by the Bad Egg bug?
Asking because I still haven't completed SV and am unlikely to do so before this event expires, but I'd very much like to catch these at some point.

Both, from what I understood the rerun of the event will work same as the 7 star raid ones (aka if you caught one already it won't let you catch it again), basically the "problem" is that the "bad eggs" you'd have obtained would have count as "caught" thus preventing you from getting one at all, and they have fixed that bugged interaction.
TLDR: unless something weird going on, if you already caught them, you won't be able to catch a 2nd copy, but if you had caught them and they turned in a bad egg due to the bug, you'll be able to catch them.
edit: shoutout to ScraftyIsTheBest for posting at almost exact same second as me
I'm pretty sure it's a normal second run of the Event Raid like what happened with Charizard, Greninja, Cinderace, etc. It will run again next month as a second chance for players to get Wake/Leaves.
And anyone can do the Wake/Leaves event raids when they happen again during next month's run of the event.
It's just that this time they will address an issue that happened in this first run with players who didn't get the patch who joined Wake/Leaves raids, caught them, and ended up with a bad egg because Wake/Leaves weren't in the code for their game. This time they're making sure that doesn't happen again for those players.
Thank you Mr. Turner for crafting the funny fish
When did 3 become many? Especially in terms of Pokemon forms? Bad James Turner stop the self hype.
Do you know what the defenition of "many" is? Not to mention the shinies have distinct patterns as well, so bring it up to 6.
Many: a large number
I don’t consider 3 a large number, especially with regards to Pokemon forms. Is that really crazy?
Pokemon with more forms than Tatsugiri: Pikachu, Castform, Deoxys, Rotom, Arceus, Deerling, Sawsbuck, Genesect, Vivillon, Flabebe, Floette, Florges, Furfrou, Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist, Oricorio, Silvally, Minior, Necrozma, Alcremie, Squawkabilly. Now that is a list of many.
You forgot Unown.
While looking around the internet to see what's been going on for the Miraidon raid, I found this post on the mystery of why the tera raid AI partners sometimes stop changing that's been mentioned before and how you can manipulate it without hard resetting.
To summarize:
- From a fresh game start, choosing "Challenge alone" will give you new AI partners every time.
- If you choose "Challenge as a group", then those AI partners will be locked in for any "Challenge alone" run afterwards in the same session.
- You can choose "Challenge as a group" again to refresh your AI partners from ingame, even when offline.
(Note: You can't run from a raid battle started in group mode, even if you are the only local player, so it's probably best to quickly do this with a random raid you can beat quickly.)
This seems consistent with my NPC partners still being the same as the last time I went online to duo Decidueye, and a quick test from a fresh session of going alone (new mons) -> going alone (different mons) -> going in a group (new mons) -> going alone (same mons).

awesome gaming
Ya ever heard of Famitsu Dengeki? It's an annual game awards show done by the magazine Famitsu where as far as I am aware every single category is reader-voted. For 2022 SV not only won the award for Best Story but Arven specifically won best character. Shigeru Ohmori was brought on to comment for both, and this is what he had to say:
Tbfh Arven's plotline wasn't even "bad". Very simple but also pretty sad.
I'd lie if I said I wasn't almost crying by the end. Despite all the issues, the whole descent into Area Zero and all the event that unfold at that point are amazing, and the music (both the insanely creepy Area Zero background and the boss battle music) is just icing on the cake.
Idk maybe i'm still actually 9yo inside. Leave my feels alone.
Nobody was saying it was bad....
its ok you can just say you like pokémon
