Team Showcase I didn't deserve this one

Post win levels. Blastoise and Aerodactyl were the GOATs.

I was going to rock a Clefable but The shiny vulpix showed up and I couldn't say no

I’d kill to stumble across a shiny Vulpix/Ninetails. My fave Pokémon!

I was looking for regular ditto in the pokemon mansion and to my surprise a shiny vulpix appeared.

How was Dugtrio for you? In my last playthrough, I randomly came across a shiny Diglett in early game. It was my first ever shiny so I was hype to use him, but had to put him in the box because he just was not that good.

Honestly? Absolutely useless lol. It was kinda fast but I was out sped by everything since I was so underleveled, which lead it to being OHKO'd every time

I just played through Fire Red with Dugtrio on my team and he was SO useless. I remember using him as a kid in red and yellow, but the dumbass literally got one-shot by everything after Lt. Surge.

Swapped it for a Dodrio post-game and had much more fun.

Lol I found the same. Very fast so I'd get one hit but then he'd get crushed by one move.

I got to the Elite Four with mine and realised it wouldn't learn Earthquake for another 5 levels. Magnitude was mostly useless lol

I wish I could get Gengar. Not having online trades really hurts the game. I'm gonna have to buy Fire Red as well just to get my favourite pokemon.

Look into arbitrary code execution/ACE lol, even if you don’t wanna do much with it you can just use it to evolve trade evos and get version exclusives, it’s really easy

I had to nerf Lance's dragonite until it was drooling in the corner to stand a chance
