Pokémon Hunt

The organizer posts a WANTED poster along a countdown timer at least a day before the Hunt.

No one is allowed to hunt before the countdown timer ends!

The 'Wanted Pokémon' can be a hatched Pokémon or a wild Pokémon with added prerequisites, including but not limited to, Shiny, nearest-IV total, caught location, amount of Pokémon to catch, etc..

Hunts aren't limited to the core games.

Participants are rated under this simple method: the fastest hunter to complete a task on that day gets the most chips, 1st runner-up gets some chips, 2nd runner-up gets only little.



Pokémon Mono Race

TBA



Pokémon Clash

Two Pokémon are pitted against each other, members must answer at least five fun, weird or cute trivial questions.

Finally the members must vote for a Pokémon that should win the CLASH, by their own set of definitions.

There are 2 modes
Majority rules (MR): The members who picked the Pokémon with the most votes are rewarded with 150 Chips. (Only 3 members will be rewarded with chips.)

Guess mode (GM): The members who guessed the correct Pokémon are rewarded with 150 Chips.

Cross Clash refers to 2 or more clubs getting involved in a crossover CLASH, hence the name.

Keep in mind, no need to be serious over CLASH, it's meant for pure fun.

#1. Kadabra VS Jynx (Guess Mode)
#2. Mega Mewtwo X VS Mega Mewtwo Y (Guess Mode)
#3. Gallade VS Medicham (Cross Clash; Majority Rules)

- Your nickname: Quajutsu
- Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Ralts
- Reason for joining the club: Psychic-types are always a necessity for me and I really enjoy using them on my teams, they hit hard and tend to be pretty fast.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type Gym Leader? Why?

Sabrina, she's got a very strong team and she was fantastic (and creepy) in the anime.

Hikamaru July 11th, 2015 12:38 AM

Your nickname: Hikamaru (Nichole, Hika)
Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Gothita
Reason for joining the club: Psychic-types are strong, majestic and wield unique moves and abilities that allow them to show their true potential.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type Gym Leader? Why?

Olympia, who I know many would write off as forgettable but seriously she has such a majestic design, with that long cape of hers and the space theme of her Gym.

DforDragoz July 11th, 2015 11:12 PM

Yay, finally! A place for me.

Nickname: PsychozDragoz
Your Psychic-Type Club Campaing Partner: Ralts
Reason for joining the club: Aside from being strong with Sp. Atk, Psychic is one of the most mysterious types out there. Being able to move things with telekinesis, I think Psychic-type pokemons are the most flexible and strongest.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type gym leader? Why?

I'd go with Liza and Tate. Their Solrock + Lunatone combo wrecked me hard on the first time I battled them. I chose a Blaziken that time, and only my him, Pelipper, and Gardevoir were at the proper levels. Ironically, Gardevoir with a Shadow Ball ended it.

Congratulations! You are all accepted to our little humble Psychic-type Club! I'll be updating our member list soon and evolution details on the scenario campaign partners! ;)

Thank you for joining this new club! ^^

DforDragoz July 18th, 2015 6:42 PM

The club is eerily silent >_> Can I start a new topic?
Spoiler: If Yes
Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

It doesn't have to be 6 Psychic types, just most of the team being Psychic. I have tried with White 2 Pokemon League, using two Reuniclus, Starmie, Sigilyph, Solrock, and Lunatone. I always thought that Grimsley would be the hardest, but it was Caitlin I had a lot of trouble with. Gothitelle and Musharna took a lot of time. Then there's Shauntal...


If not, well I guess I can wait.

Thanks, that's a big help, to be honest! You are free to create topics, according to our rules! I'm too focus on fixing the campaign scenario for the Flying-type. I didn't expect Flying-type would be popular over Psychic (at least for now), I mean just look at how silent the club is right now. Or probably everyone is communicating with us with telepathy! Lol Psychic-type's gonna be fixed immediately after fixing Flying-type's. I really appreciate a lot your considerate help there. ;)

On to the new topic: Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?
I haven't tried that challenge! But I might do that on Pokémon Y rerun as Delphox is a FIre/Psychic Pokémon!

Wicked3DS July 18th, 2015 9:30 PM

Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

I've never been able to do this since I haven't been able to think of a good balanced team to use for it.

Hikamaru July 18th, 2015 10:28 PM

Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

No, because most Elite Fours have a member that uses Ghost or Dark-types and without the right coverage they can be a huge wall to your Psychic team that they may not be able to overcome.

DforDragoz July 19th, 2015 3:17 AM

@UnapologeticSunflower Glad to help. I thought of cracking a similar joke about telepathy when I was making the topic, but my jokes don't usually work. And good luck if you'll try the challenge, hope you enjoy it.

@Quajutsu and Hikamaru
Yup, I had to grind on Audinos, Colress, Nimbasa, and every place I knew to get my team 2-4 levels above the E4 members. Hoenn and Unova leagues are especially cruel on Psychic. W2 took me at least two retries, until I replaced Swoobat with another Reuniclus. I was tempted to use a Dark type(which is like going EZ mode) but went for a second Reuniclus. It was mostly luck that got me through.

Sun July 20th, 2015 3:34 AM

To extend the longevity of Dragoz's topic as well as to further break the silent, I'll make a sub-topic here.

Main topic:
Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?
Sub-topic:
If you're going to challenge a Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type, which game(s) are you going to take on? Why?
Sub-topic 2: Following the first sub-topic, which 6 Psychic-Pokémon are you going to pick for your team? Why?

To Dragoz, I hope you won't mind my decision on the sub-topics. I had to do this to extend the Club's life, it hurts specially when my other 2 Clubs are starting to sprout while it's relatively quiet with the Psychic Club.

DforDragoz July 21st, 2015 3:58 AM

I don't, it's actually better. It gives us more stuff to talk about ^^

Subtopic 1: I'm planning to try the challenge on Pokemon Emerald. Hoenn and Unova are the only regions I feel comfortable playing with, probably because I have replayed them a lot of times over the other games. Plus, it'll be more of a challenge since the E4 follows a similar pattern in Unova, one Dark and one Ghost.

Subtopic 2: I think getting and training a team is more of the challenge than fighting the league itself. I might pull another Reuniclus, except that I'll be using 2 Gardevoirs, one having Thunderbolt, one with Shadow Ball. Gonna get Starmie and have it learn Ice beam for Drake. Girafarig for some diversity, and its Crunch at 49. A Solrock for its Explosion, especially reserved for that Milotic, or I might have it learn Sunny Day and just go Solarbeam it to dust. Sidney will be the biggest problem since I don't see any Psychic type that can go around most of his Pokemon.

Oh, btw, it seems Ralts is very popular to us. I assume we're all going for Gardevoir/Mega Gardevoir?

I'll probably begin with Platinum version, as Platinum version has no Dark-type specialist, which can be slightly easier.

Houndour, Sneasel, Spiritomb, Murkow, Eevee (evolves into Umbreon), Absol. Oops! That's similar to Karen's rematch team. XD Anyway I'm picking these 6 in particular as they came to mind at first.

Yeah, I was expecting Sigilyph or Espurr for Nichole and an Abra for Quajutsu. Since my Ralts is a boy, I'm aiming for a Gallade/Mega Gallade. If I stumble across a female Ralts during the scenario I'll definitely capture it for a Gardevoir/Mega Gardevoir! Shiny prefered! Lol

Hikamaru July 21st, 2015 6:29 PM

I feel like the easiest Elite Four to take on with a mono Psychic team is Kalos' Elite Four in X & Y, since they lack a Ghost or Dark specialist and while some of them do have a Ghost-type (Wikstrom and Malva specifically, along with Champion Diantha) the thing is that most Psychic-types can learn Shadow Ball which counters them, and with the diversity of Pokemon in the game it's likely you'll get something to handle their other weaknesses as well.

Sinnoh's isn't as good as you'd think, given Cynthia's Spiritomb has a total advantage over them along with being extremely tanky.

Ah! I've nearly forgotten that accursed Spiritomb! Thanks a lot for reminding me!~ Then I'll go with Kalos, not to mention Delphox, Fennekin's final evolution form, is part Psychic-type as well!

It's so sad that most of these Elite Fours are so unkind to Psychic-types, since there's like almost each one having a Ghost or Dark-type user, and while Kalos does have some members using a Ghost-type, the thing is you'd likely be overleveled before then and they can be easily countered anyway.

Because Dark, Dragon, Ghost, Psychic are unofficially regarded as 'expert types' by the officials, sadly two of them are our precious Psychic's weakness.

Most Psychic-types can at least make up with their high Sp. Atk with Shadow Ball for their Ghost weakness, and nowadays they can also counter their Dark-type weakness with Dazzling Gleam, other than the accuracy unreliable Focus Blast. :')

Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Mewtwo
Reason for joining the club: Psychic is my favorite type.
Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?
Not yet but I might do it someday.
If you're going to challenge a Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type, which game(s) are you going to take on? Why?
I'm going to start with Platinum, it's the most challenging one IMO.
Following the first sub-topic, which 6 Psychic-Pokémon are you going to pick for your team? Why?
As you might guess already, Mewtwo is the lead for obvious reasons. Espeon and Gardevoir are the others I'll surely use because they're cute. I still have to think about the rest 3, there's so many good psychic pokémon that it's hard to choose.

I'm sorry, Mewtwo can be only obtained during special events. I've updated the Club Campaign partner list with GIFs, so it's going to be easier for you to pick your partner.

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?

Hikamaru July 27th, 2015 7:17 PM

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?

There are tons of Psychic-type Megas, so hard to pick. But I'd go with Medicham because I like how it has these ribbon like things that are actually extra arms and they actually attack (as shown in its attacking animations) plus it reminds me of those Indian gods. A really great design to be honest.

Gardevoir and Gallade have some good ones as well, although Gardevoir does get the better end of the stick when it comes to shinies. Dat black dress <333

Wicked3DS July 27th, 2015 7:38 PM

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?

If we're going for funniest I'll have to saw Slowbro, it just looks so goofy, but that's what they're going for I'm assuming :P Favorite would be Gallade though, it's tough yet somehow majestic at the same and it just fits the bill.

OK, let me fix my sign-up form:

Your nickname: Mewtwolover
Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Ralts
Reason for joining the club: Psychic is my favorite type.
Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why? Mewtwo's Mega forms are my favorites, they're cute and cool. Gardevoir's Mega form is also good because it's so beautiful.

Your least favorite Psychic-type Mega Evolution, why?

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?
Gotta be a Metagross. It screams EPIC at everything it encounters. I thought the design was meh when it was at its normal form(looks heavy), but then the Mega evolution made it float and it gives a feeling of the Pokemon being an unstoppable force.

Sub-topic 1: Hmm, I think Mega Metagross would look more awesome if its arms formed an "X" behind it, and had an extra pair of arm that floats in front of it.
Sub-topic 2: I'd say Slowbro. It doesn't look Psychic-y at all. Kinda reminds me of Shuckle. Which doesn't feel like Water-type as well.

My favorite Psychic-type Mega Evolution would be Mega Gardevoir. The normal coloration resembles a bride, while the Shiny form's coloration resembles an elegant evening dress. Mega Gallade gets an honorable mention for similar reasons.

Mega Gardevoir's design and Ability are great. While she has a good speed and outstanding Special Attack and Special Defense. It could have been perfect if her base Defense and base HP are at least 80 and she doesn't really need that base 85 base Attack. Additionally if that Shiny form is her normal coloration, I would be happier. ^_^

Unfortunately my least favorite Mega is Mega Mewtwo X, while I'm fond with Mega Mewtwo Y's design which is slightly ironic. Secondly, I don't really get the point on giving Mewtwo not only one, but even two Megas when Mewtwo is already tough enough to rip most of the Legendary Pokémon and Megas out there!

Oh I'm rewarding you a Beldum with a Mega Stone for out Psychic-type campaign, since you're quite active and trying your best to take part in our Club topics. Please keep up the great work, I'm expecting a lot from you. :)

DforDragoz July 31st, 2015 5:39 AM

Thanks! Looks like a long way to go before I see my Mega Metagross ^^ Hopefully this club will be very active when it happens.

I'm opposite on the Mewtwo's mega, however, preferring X over Y. Something about the X form getting 'armor' just tells you that he's about to wreak havoc. Y form does look more like Psychic, but its head is kinda creeping me out.

Not really, look at the campaign partner list again. ;)
Oh and I forgot to mention that the first five member discount applies as long as they are part of this club, it also means even if you have as much as six partners the discount apply. Another good news is, the discount applies to those Pokémon with three stages evolution!

To each on their own. :) Some like it hot while some like it not. {XD}

Nothing, Mewtwo's Mega forms are perfect.

Your least favorite Psychic-type Mega Evolution, why?
Mega Slowbro, it looks more like a turtle than psychic Pokémon.

My favorite is Psychic, it's powerful and really useful.

DforDragoz August 1st, 2015 5:21 PM

I'm really fond of using Calm Mind, especially when I'm using bulky Psychic types like Reuniclus. I spam it for about 2-4 times - along with gallons of Moomoo milks - then just use Psychic on everything. Sometimes I combine it with Trick Room(for Reuniclus of course), so that it's sure win. Yup, all-out offense and risky, but it suits my style.

Actually I have 2 favorite Psychic-type, it's a tie for these two moves: Calm Mind and Psyshock.

Tate and Liza have demonstrated how fearful can Calm Mind get though Double Battle (in RS).

The move Psychic was originally my most and only favorite Psychic-type move. I recall my Espeon in Silver, spamming the move in Elite Four. :') Then Psyshock came in Black and White. I was intrigued by the move description and I decided I wanted to try it and then I ended up loving it!

Additionally, Psystrike, which is Mewtwo's signature move that made its debut in Generation V, is a stronger version of Psyshock!

That's not I see 'All-out attack(er)'. Ahahaha, don't mind me.

Reuniclus is made for Trick Room teams. It becomes Alakazam-like, nearly-unstoppable, if it gains the priority to move in battles!

Hikamaru August 2nd, 2015 7:41 AM

Your favorite Psychic-type attack? why?

My fave Psychic-type move has to be the good old Psychic, because of its reliability and power. Psybeam is another close one, thanks to the fact I love its attack animation, same with Psyshock. For status moves, Calm Mind because it can make a user become potent when it gets those boosts going.

Wicked3DS August 2nd, 2015 2:52 PM

Your favorite Psychic-type attack? why?

Psychic is definitely my go to for sure, it's accurate and strong. Psycho Cut is a unique move as well and I use it on my Gallade.

LilyGardy August 2nd, 2015 3:19 PM

Nickname - CharmedGothet

Partner Pokemon - I was going to say Ralts but since that is a very popular choice I'll say my second favourite unevolved Psychic Type Gothita.

Reason for joining - A lot of my favourite Pokemon are Psychic Type (Gardevoir, Gothitelle, Starmie and Gallade). Indeed I went out of my way to get the 'Psychic Type Champ' medal in White 2 using the aforementioned Pokemon and Latias.

Favourite Psychic move - Hypnosis, the opponent can't do anything if asleep and you can boost your stats or use Dream Eater whilst they sleep. Also I think it's the only Psychic move that affects Dark Types.

Tigroid August 2nd, 2015 4:05 PM

- Your nickname: Tigroid (In-Game I use Amon, though)
- Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: I choose Exeggcute
- Reason for joining the club: Psychic-Type pokemon are my favorite type. With Exeggutor, Metagross, Gardevoir, and more the Psychic-Types have great power and diversity.

What is your favorite Psychic attack and Why?
I think I'll stick with Psychic. I know it seems kind of dull, but it has high power and accuracy and it's easily available via TM.

Is that all I have to do to join?

Yes it's one of hte few Psychic moves that can affect Dark Pokémon like Skill Swap and others.

Yep and welcome to the Psychic-type Club! ;)

And wow I'm surprised with the amount of people favoring the move Psychic, I was expecting Psyshock or even Psystrike! {XD}

To celebrate our Psychic Club going steadly, members who replied to our current topic are going to receive a Leaf Stone and a Dawn Stone! ^_^


If you meet the criteria to evolve your Pokémon, feel free to ask me to update your team list as I won't force/automatically evolve your Pokémon. ;) But they cannot devolve so think carefully whether or not to evolve.

LilyGardy August 3rd, 2015 9:09 AM

Psychic Type moves that affect Dark Types -

Hypnosis, Trick, Trick Room, Magic Room, Skill Swap, Telekinesis, Wonder Room, Power Split...More moves than I thought at first. Might be a few others.

Thanks for the answer, that inspired me some sub-topics! :)
Let me add on for those who are interested: Guard Split, Heal Block, Heal Pulse, Imprison, Kinesis, Magic Coat, Mirror Coat, Psycho Shift and Role Play are Psychic-type moves that affects the opposing Dark-type Pokémon. Miracle Eye also enables any Psychic-type offensive move to hit the targeted Dark-type Pokémon.

Additionally Future Sight used to be only Psychic-type offensive move that can hit Dark-type Pokémon, before it gained the same type attack bonus in Generation V.

For those Psychic-type move that can also directly affect the Dark-type team mates: Ally Switch, Healing Wish, Heart Swap and Lunar Dance.

Finally a Psychic-type move that affect the whole battle arena:
- Light Screen (weakens Special moves; including Dark-type moves. Protects Dark-type that are under the protection of Light Screen);
- Reflect (weakens Physical moves; including Dark-type moves. Protects Dark-type that are under the protection of Reflect);
- Gravity (It affects those floating Dark-type like Hydreigon as well as those Dark-type that are part Flying-type like Yveltal);

@Unapologetic Sunflower

There's a lot more moves that affect Dark Types than I thought.

Answers for topic

Favourite Psychic Move - Hypnosis.

Favourite Psychic Offensive move - Psychic. It's very reliable and all my Psychic types have that move other than Gallade who has Psycho Cut.

Favourite Status move other than Hypnosis - Calm Mind. Whilst the opponent is sleeping I like to boost my stats.

If I was going to change anything about the moves - I'd make Psychic a touch stronger and Hypnosis have 100% accuracy.

Least favourite Psychic Move - I don't really have one but I am not a huge fan of Magic Room as it does not stop the effect of mega stones I think.

Tigroid August 4th, 2015 3:44 PM

Main topic: Psychic
Sub-topic 1: Hypnosis
Sub-topic 2: I would give Psychic a 15% of causing paralysis. And I would give Hypnosis 100 accuracy.
Sub-topic 3: Your least favorite Psychic-type move? Confusion. Why? It's not that I dislike the move, but I find that it's underpowered.

Hikamaru August 5th, 2015 5:26 AM

If I was going to change anything about the moves...
Same reasons as Charmed. I'd make Hypnosis way more accurate than it currently is because the accuracy it has right now is pretty unacceptable.

Least favourite Psychic-type move?
I think Telekinesis. One of those boring, gimmicky double/triple battle moves that I really cannot find a use for.

I didn't exactly memorize those, hope I didn't give that wrong impression! xD
I just looked at Bulbapedia and compiled them on my own! {XD}

Reuniclus, Gardevoir are part of those Pokémon that can make the opponent sleep while boosting their stats. :) ANd Gardvoir, is part of your fave Psychics! ^_^

I agree with the Hypnosis having a higher accuracy! Both Lovely Kiss and Sleep Powder have 75% as their accuracy, it's not the best but it's surely usable compare to Hypnosis' 60% accuracy!

If no one's making a new topic, I'll make one tomorrow on Saturday (of my timezone)!~

LilyGardy August 6th, 2015 8:54 AM

@ Unapologetic Sunflower

It would have been very difficult to list all the moves off the top of your head. Oddly I thought only 10 or so Psychic moves affected the Dark type.

I always have a Gardevoir on my team (Other than Gen 5 where Ralts was only obtainable by a long end game side quest.) but have never used Reuniclus using Gothitelle instead. Hypnosis and Calm Mind are normally on my Gardevoir.

On a suggested topic for next time or the time after:

1. There are many Pokemon, which current non-Psychic type Pokemon should be Psychic Type and why?

2. Which current Psychic Pokemon should not be Psychic Type and why?

Mewtwolover August 6th, 2015 9:40 AM

1. There are many Pokemon, which current non-Psychic type Pokemon should be Psychic Type and why?
Lucario, it can sense auras which is psychic ability.

2. Which current Psychic Pokemon should not be Psychic Type and why?
Exeggutor, it looks so much like a palm tree that it should be pure grass type.

Try Reuniclus on your next play through, it works well in a Trick Room team as well!

Those are interesting topics! Great job, please keep up the great work. :)

I agree with that! Exeggutor looks nothing like a Psychic, and the type Psychic is more of a burden than a help to that poor coconut tree.

Golduck! This Pokémon should be at least part-Psychic! It could be a formidable foe

It's a tie between three Pokémon Lugia, Celebi and Victini. Lugia should be Dragon/Water as nothing from Lugia looks like a Psychic. Celebi should be Grass/Fairy for obvious reasons. Victini should be a Fire/Fairy, he looks like a fairy that uses the power of fire.

DforDragoz August 7th, 2015 4:32 AM

Subtopic 1: Can't decide on this, hahahaha. Psychic and Psyshock are like twins to me, my Reuniclus wouldn't be complete without both of them. I mean, sometimes you encounter a Blissey that just resists Psychic, so you have to go Psyshock it. And then there are those like Golem or Steelix, who resist Psyshock, so you have to Psychic them. But I guess I'll join the majority and go with Psychic. It has a slightly higher power compared to Psyshock after all, and a lot of pokemon can learn it.

Subtopic 2: I'd make Psychic have a small chance(5% maybe?) to cause effects depending on its environment. You know, like Secret Power? Example: If the area you're fighting on is rocky, it has a small chance to make the enemy flinch. I always imagine Psychic like the one in the anime, where they fly/float. And in battles ingame, I imagine the enemy being slammed to its environment.
As for Calm Mind, I think it should remove all stat reductions on Sp. Def/Sp. Atk, then increases them. I mean, what if you got those stats reduced sharply prior to using Calm Mind?

Subtopic 3: Oh my god, Kinesis. Signature move, indeed, but it lowers accuracy by one stage. Pfffft. It's not even as accurate as Sand-attack! Maybe I'd consider it somewhat worthy if it had 100% accuracy and sharply reduces accuracy. It doesn't suit Alakazam's line, since they're made more for offense, and this move is for defense...sloppy as well with the 80% accuracy.

Oh look! New topics!

There are many Pokemon, which current non-Psychic type Pokemon should be Psychic Type and why?
I'd say Venomoth. It learns Psychic, Confusion, and Zen Headbutt. Sabrina also uses it.

Which current Psychic Pokemon should not be Psychic Type and why?
Unown
. Unown feels more like a random type to me. I think it should be based on what type its Hidden Power is, since that's the only move it learns.

Hikamaru August 7th, 2015 6:03 AM

I'm with Unapologetic on Psyduck/Golduck there. With the fact it learns some Psychic moves you'd think it should be a Psychic-type but no it isn't.

Which current Psychic Pokemon should not be Psychic Type and why?
I'm with whoever said Exeggcute/Exeggutor. I feel that its design doesn't really scream Psychic-type at all.

I feel a lot on that Psyshock vs Psychic self-debate. {XD} I use Shadow Ball in place of Psychic to counter those who are strong on the Defense stat and Psyshock for those who are insanely strong on Special Defense.~

I had that idea of flinching withthe move Psychic as well, just look at how Sabrina's Kadabra tortured Ash's Pikachu! {XD} No, I shouldn't be laughing, ahem! *uses Fake Tears instead*

By the time Kinesis shows its effect, Le Moustache-san has been murdered with Crunch already.~

That idea about Unown is certainly interesting! I'm actually in it.

Sorry. I will quote reply in future.

The Reuniclus line is cute. I will give the Reuniclus line a go on my post game team.

Now onto the questions

Which non-psychic type should be Psychic Type?

Ninetales. It is a highly intelligent Pokemon and can understand human speech. It can also learn some Psychic Moves and it was speculated by some to be being made a Fire/Psychic Type. Then Delphox (My favourite fully evolved fire starter) came along and Ninetales is still a Pure Fire Type.

Which current Psychic Type should not be and why?

Solrock and Lunatone. Whilst they are both Tate and Lisa's signature Pokemon I thought the two floating stones would be better suited to being ghost type. There is something vaguely unnerving about the two rocks and I feel they fit the Rock/Ghost type.

Oi, oi. Don't make it sound like I scolded you, no need for the sorry! {XD}

Ah, how could I miss the good ol' Ninetales! She's certainly precious, she can learn a good number of Psychic moves including Extrasensory, Hypnosis, Psyshock, Imprison, Calm Mind, Dream Eater, Power Swap, Zen Headbutt and Roleplay! Strangely not the move Psychic, though. A Mega Evolution with Fire/Psychic type or even Fire/Fairy would do the trick for Ninetales. ;)

Probably their blank stare and zero facial expression makes you feel that way! {XD}

Ninetales was my Fire Type in my Gen 5 run and the hidden ability was very useful. Being made Fire/Psychic is unlikely now with Delphox around but Fire/Fairy could indeed make the white fox relevant again.

Solrock's half asleep stare isn't too bad but Lunatone's is unnerving, at least it's a good source of Moon Stones.

Same here. Solrock could be Rock/Fire, since it is related to the sun, and Lunatone......just creepy. Look at it....


Just kidding! Although that could be its mega evolution?

I hope that doesn't make you hate Delphox though. The fandom has been showing a lot of aggressive comments to her, which she didn't deserve. If there's anything, it should be praises she's receiving. :'(

Yep those red eyes! {XD}

Have at Lunatone's Pokédex entry from the core games:

Seems like its red eyes are super effective against you!! {XD}

I thought Solrock's eyes are something like this? {XD}

That moment when the supposedly serious Psychic-type are creepier than Darks and Ghosts Pokémon. :)

Like usual, some extension to the main topics to keep the club activity. :)

Current topics:
1. There are many Pokemon, which current non-Psychic type Pokemon should be Psychic Type and why?
2. Which current Psychic Pokemon should not be Psychic Type and why?

Sub-topic 1:
Which current non-Psychic-type move should be a Psychic-type move and why?
Sub-topic 2:
Which current Psychic-type move should not be Psychic-type and why?

Psych Up should be a Psychic-type move for obvious reason, hence its name.
Rest, I believe it's better off as a Normal Type move than a Psychic-type.

And I'm evolving my Ralts into Kirlia. ^^ Members, please keep track of your own post counts. In case you have forgotten how many I'll teach you a way to do it. :)

Please do teach me. I think my Ralts is ready to evolve to Kirlia, and yup, I will evolve her if possible.

Subtopic 2:
Rest for me. It feels more like what a Snorlax and Slaking would do, and they are normal types. And wow, SO MANY pokemon can learn Rest, just like Secret Power/Hidden Power.
Subtopic 1: I'll go with Confuse Ray. The description for it is ghostly enough, but the concept - a ball of light - seems mystical. And mystical usually connects to Psychic.

(Edit: I messed up! I thought subtopic 1 was 2, and 2 was 1. W/e, too lazy to change)

I like the Delphox line a lot but it's introduction (Along with Charizard getting drought) leaves the White Fox out in the cold. Delphox is my favourite fire type and is on my team yet I'd like Ninetales to get some spotlight again.

I also found a female Braixen with hidden ability in the friend safari. Yay!

Shiny Lunatone has blue eyes which is a little better.

@DforDragoz (Don't know how to double quote)

The Zelda moon for Lunatone's Mega. I like that idea a lot and agree that Solrock should be Rock/Fire.

Sub Topic 1

I agree with Dfordragoz about Confuse Ray. Confusion is a Psychic Move and can cause confusion and Confuse Ray does just that.

Sub Topic 2

Agreeing with everyone else here with Rest particularly considering so many can learn it. Normal would indeed be a good type for it.

Not sure what post count I am on but I need 16 for a Gothorita and my Gothita will not learn Fake Tears.

Post count tutorial:
Start from the Pokémon Club section, you should be able to see 2 groups of different numbers under the 'Replies' and 'Views'. You should be able to click the number under the 'Replies' category. Make sure you are clicking the number that corresponds the right thread.

And your post count indicates that you can actually evolve Ralts and Beldum already. {XD} Yes the post count stacks for your whole Pokémon team, it's gonna be an annoying task for us if the post counts for each Pokémon are counted separately anyway. xD

Thank you for the information.

My favourite Psychic Shiny is Gardevoir. I really like the blue and orange scheme on the Embrace Pokemon. The mega getting a black dress instead of White is a nice touch and can lead to a pretty epic final battle against Diantha's regular Mega Gardevoir. I am fortunate enough to have both a Shiny and regular Gardevoir. :)

Solrock also has a pretty good Shiny.

My least favourite Psychic Shiny is Delphox. I was planning to Masuda Method a Shiny Fennekin but both Shiny Braixen and Shiny Delphox for me do not look as good as their regular versions.

Neon Green Espeon isn't great either.

On my post count I am now on 8...What Gothita is evolving?

DforDragoz August 8th, 2015 1:13 AM

Yes! I'll get both of them evolved!

Well, one of my favorite shinies is Celebi. The pink gorgeous thing, and also one of the most likeable characters in PMD: Sky! Cresselia as well, since I love how it's pink and blue at the same time.

I agree with the Shiny Gardevoir. I'm so happy to own one, but I caught mine in Gen III game though. So I'm planning to hatch one with the Masuda Method. :) The Shiny Solsis line as well as Shiny Jynx are good in my book as well. :)

Shiny Braixen looks better than a Shiny Delphox for me. :D Braixen looks like a young witch more in the shiny color. :)

I'm not a fan of the neon green Espeon, it can be better. A Shiny Espeon would be better if she's colored in cherry blossom pink.~

Congratulations! Oh and here's a Ralts for you.

Ah how could I forget those two shinies! Cresselia's definitely good! :)

Which Psychic-type Shiny is your least fave, Dragoz?

EDIT: Finished editing the teams, Dragoz congratulations for having 2 evolved Pokémon! ^_^ It's not even my team but it excites me. ^^ If this Club is going to be active in the future like how it is right now, I'm gonna introduce a new mechanic to our Psychic-type Club (I was expecting to introduce this to the Grass or Flying-type Club first).

Cressellia has a nice shiny but I prefer her regular colour scheme. Cherry Blossom Pink Espeon would work or the same blue as Mew's Shiny.

Yay! A Ralts. Is it Male or Female?

I plan to evolve my new Ralts all the way to the (Mega)Gardevoir stage.

Question 1

I'd like to see an Psychic Angel Pokemon. Whilst some say Gardevoir is a Guardian Angel but I don't think there has been an Angel Pokemon. As long as it doesn't come across as a Angemon knock off it could make a good Legendary.

Question 2

Given the reaction of both fans and non fans to the Vanillish line (I personally have no objection to them) basing any Pokemon on foodstuff would be a bad idea particularly the Psychic Type which is seen as by and large a serious type. (Other than Mr Mime)

Gardevoir reminds me of a dancer or even a lover who unconditionally devotes their life in protecting that important person with their life.

Your answer to the second one, reminds me like what if they created a spoon Pokémon? xD Spoon, which is commonly associated with psychics in real life.

What animal/item should Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
I don't have any particular animals in mind, as animals that are associated with Psychic from various medias have been made into Pokémon already. However, I would like to see a non-legendary Psychic Pokémon who's a strong Physical attacker and preferably speedy too!

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
As long as it looks creative, that's what really matters. Not the animal nor item they are based on, just look at Chandelure, it looks great despite it was just based on a chandelier. :)

EDIT: I made a clumsy mistake when updating our member lists yesterday, fortunately Mewtwolover was quick and wise to discover the mistake I made on his team. If you notice a mistake feel free to send me a message about it.

DforDragoz August 10th, 2015 5:18 AM

Least favorite shiny would be Uxie's. I'm not a fan of how it just...turns pure gold. I suppose Uxie does look rarer that way, but I kinda prefer the normal version.

What animal/item should Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
Something humanoid this time. Like, a Ghost-Psychic humanoid that does understand human speech...and probably speaks human as well. It could be a legendary, and probably the mascot of the games. I'm currently imagining something shaped like a mannequin, except that it's made up entirely of shadow and has little wisps floating around it. And no, this isn't Sabrina-possessed or something {XD}

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
No random. Please. I don't know what to specify, but putting irrelevant things together and calling it Psychic let me down one time. Something like Spoink and Grumpig. They're based on pigs, pink irl, but I don't think that's enough to make them Psychic. But I guess it's up to everyone's preference. (EDIT) So I was looking at Spoink's design, trying to justify my dislike for it...and I failed. IT'S TOO CUTE TO DISLIKE.

Hoopa says hi to you! lol Would you like a Mr. Mime or Jynx? Just kidding you, haha! {XD} Sounds like a fanatic idea, actually. That needs to be a part of Ghost-type Gym Leader's roster, preferably as an ace.

Grumpig and Spoink appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their psychic powers.

I found this far-fetched, to be honest. I still believe Spoink and Grumpig are randomly slapped with Psychic-type as you said.

Mewtwolover August 11th, 2015 4:54 AM

What animal/item should Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
Dog, IMO that there's still room for dog-based Psychic-type Pokémon. It should be regular Pokémon.

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
Fox, there's Delphox in Gen 6 so it would feel too much like repeating.

Edit: My 5th post so I guess that it's evolution time for Ralts.

LilyGardy August 11th, 2015 11:51 AM

Grumpig? I forgot all about that guy. Can I change my least favourite Psychic Pokemon to him?

I remember thinking it was Poison type. Whilst Spoink is cute Grumpig is quite possibly the one Psychic Type I would never use.

Dogs appeared in the Chinese legends, mythology. They have similar powers to Psychics, so that's a yes!

And yes Congratulations! Your Ralts is now a Kirlia:
You can evolve it as Gallade or have a total of 7 posts (here in Psychic-Club) for a Gardevoir (15 posts* for members who joined after Mewtwolover).

** 50% Coupon is still up, divide that 15 by 2 and remember to round the decimal numbers for a whole number.

Hahaha no problem, but it's sad that there's one more hate for the swine POkémon!

Feel free to make a new topic, everyone! :) In case you're bringing up TCG or anime, just be careful not to stray far. As those stuff have their own sections, you don't wanna get reported/get interacted as off-topic by Alex. {XD}

DforDragoz August 13th, 2015 12:52 AM

There was a similar topic somewhere out here in the forums, something about having a gym. So that's the topic I'm gonna introduce today!

Imagine yourself being a Psychic-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be? Wh
Of course, feel free to add more information to the topic. It's all for fun, go get creative!
I know, this is recycling my posts(cheater!), but here goes anyways {XD}

Atk or are likely to one-hit with sheer power or cause red health. Starmie, Alakazam, Gardevoir, Sigilyph, with Espeon as my main pokemon.

My gym would be located in a town where Psychic pokemons are in abundance, and almost everything floats or aren't bothered by gravity at all. Inside the gym, it would be operated by sliding panels(like Liza and Tate's). They lead to the gym leader, but are incomplete. In order to complete them, the player must get a book which will be provided by battling the first trainer, and runes. There are two types of runes: one changes the direction of any panel, one allows you to add a panel. The player can change the panels by using the book. Runes can be acquired by battling trainers. It should be possible to reach the gym leader without battling every trainer.

My gym badge would be called Sapience Badge and have the design of an open book. I'd give out the TM for Psyshock.

I'd be the 8th gym leader.

Great idea.

My character would be called Leo and would basically look like me but in a black suit.

Early on in the story I will be seen reading a newspaper in the second town and when interacted with will give the player an Egg containing Gothita. This is the only way to get Gothita in this game and has a 1/100 chance of being shiny.

My gym would have warp tiles. If the player steps on the wrong tile the Gen 5 cry of Gothitelle will play before a trainer appears. When the player reaches me I will politely congratulate them before making a bad joke and engaging the player in battle.

Main Pokemon - Gothitelle

Team: Starmie, Delphox, Solrock, Gallade, Gardevoir and Gothitelle. (Last Pokemon)
Post Game rematch team - Starmie, Delphox Gardevoir, Reuniclus, Metagross, Gothitelle (Shiny)

I'd also have the Black Leaders last Pokemon music play during the last Pokemon battle.

I'd give out the Astral Badge which would be shaped like a Gothitelle Bow and the TM Trick.

I'd be the seventh Gym and after being defeated will give a short speech on using Pokemon the player enjoys using and congratulating the player again.

Let's see that was a topic I made for the Water-type Club around 2 years ago, then it was available at Gaming Central recently.

By the plot wise order, I would be the 4th Gym Leader to battle. Wonder Room effect is immediately in effect (think Battle Arcade) Exeggcute, Analytic Starmie, Analytic Elgyem, Magic Guard Duosion (Ace).

My badge would be called Seer Badge. My character will be an important one (along my fellow Gym Leaders), I will predict the possible calamities falling to the region I'm in (hence the badge name).

Your nickname: Uri
Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Gothita!
Reason for joining the club: I adore psychic type pokemon- almost all of my favorite pokemon are psychic-type. also, i'm looking to make friends & be part of a group!
Answer to the current topic (compulsory):

Imagine yourself being a Psychic-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be?
I'd probably be something like Olympia; very regal, but instead of space-themed i'd probably do very sparkly & pink decor, since pink is a gr8 color tbh. might have a tiara & a poofy dress, but if i did wanna wear a dress my in-game character would have to be a girl... eugh. My team would be Chimecho, Gothitelle, Gardevoir, Starmie, and two female & male Meowstic. I'm not the toughest person (or the best at battling) so i'd likely be around the 3rd leader.
My badge would most likely be the Glamour Badge? i'd be all about Pokemon Amie and improving your bonds with pokemon, since I make sure all my main team pokemon have full hearts in Amie & it really helps me in battle (probably why i'm a huge softie) so yeah!!


DforDragoz August 15th, 2015 12:44 AM

Welcome Uri! I really love the gym idea, it feels like the kind of gym that I'd visit again and again. The pokemons you choose would be challenging to the player if they encounter you. Hope you make a lot of friends here and feel welcome.

That's cool, perhaps something like Caitlin from the Unova region Pokémon League.

Thanks for welcoming our new member, I really appreciate it! <3

thanks for the warm welcome guys!!
i've actually only played Y & Alpha Sapphire, but i'll check caitlin out nonetheless.

i'm thinking of, instead of filling my entire pokedex ( i don't have the patience lmao ) maybe i'll just do psychic pokemon, which should keep me busy for a week or two.

Here you go. Quite regal, yes? :)

Yeah, completing the Pokédex can be a painful and time consuming thing to do.

For our new topic:
What do you think about Psychic-type's godlike status* in Generation I games?
(For those who are unaware, the stats we see Special Attack and Special Defense back in Generation I are one and the same stat, known as Special. That's why Mewtwo, Slowbro, Starmie and Alakazam are part of those deadly scary Pokémon -- if one isn't paying attention enough they can rip your team apart! Psychic-types were almost without weaknesses.)

What do you think about Psychic-type's godlike status in Generation I games?

You have to admit that because I never played a 1st Gen game that it took me a while to even realize this was actually a thing. So horribly unbalanced and it was no wonder why Sabrina was such a nightmare back then, because there was literally no good Bug-type moves and for some weird reason Ghost-type moves were unable to damage them. It was good to see the next generation patch up this with the Dark and Steel-types, along with the stat restructure.

What do you think about Psychic-type's godlike status in Generation I games?
IMO only Mewtwo and Mew really had godlike status in generation I games. Other Psychic-type pokémon weren't so strong that the type in general would've been too strong compared to others.

What do you think about Psychic-type's godlike status in Generation I games?

Honestly never played the Generation I games past glitching Pokemon Yellow but I think they'd of been pretty powerful from the sounds of it! I could see them doing better in Generation I than any other type due to their sheer power and the lack of Dark and Steel. :]

Alakazam's Special base stat in Gen I was 135, it means he wasn't only a strong attacker, he was even a great sponge on absorbing all those special moves!

Psychic type was basically without weakness, Twineedle and Leech Life weren't even strong to begin with. Not to mention the Special stats wasn't split back then. Starmie, Alakazam, Jynx are Psychic-types that hit hard and move fast, while Slowbro was basically a killer tank back then. Psychic-types and Ice-types were dominating the high tier before., which made Lorelei the the true terror of RGBY/RBY games.

Mew and Mewtwo were of course powerful for a very obvious reason.

Welcome to the Club! Nice selection with Girafarig, it doesn't evolve! >:) Hahaha, just kidding! Alakazam, Mewtwo, Mew can abuse those said types plus a Psychic move in the battle arena. Yes, the introduction of Steel and Dark type, plus Shadow Ball really dragged down the Psychic-type.

I tried getting all Psychic Pokemon on White 2 but couldn't get Grumpig or Spoink anywhere. I did get all Grass Types though.

I am trying to fill my whole Pokedex (Except Event Mons) in X and am close. I am on just under 700. Thankfully I had lots of Pokemon stored on White 2.

Onto the question.

What did you make of Psychic types God-like status in Gen 1 games?

I have played the Gen 1 games and looking back now they have a lot of issues including Psychic being a little overpowered.

Gen 1 were the first Pokemon games so problems are understandable and it was unfortunate that Psychic being overpowered was one of them.

Bug type was basically a joke back in Gen 1 and there were no strong bug moves and there were hardly any Ghost Pokemon in Gen 1. Nevertheless I remember using Starmie as my go-to water type and thinking it was a strong Pokemon. Never thought it was broken though.

Mewtwo may have been overpowered but he was the first 'secret' legendary so it is somewhat understandable.

I never had too many problems with Sabrina's Gym although having a Psychic Type (Starmie) in my own team may have helped.

Slightly off topic I prefer the Sabrina look in Gen 1 than the newer look in Heart Gold and Gen 5.

The Gen 5 Elite Four was a murderers row for Psychic Types. Ghost, Dark, Psychic and in Black and White Alder, who favors Bug types. Thankfully Marshall was not a Steel trainer.

DforDragoz August 16th, 2015 5:33 AM

So that explains why Mewtwo was Psychic. I mean, it got the best Sp. Atk at that time, and one of the best types in the game. It's like they want to tell us, "Hey, Mewtwo is your god. You can't stop him."

Yeah both Psychic and Ice are overpower creatures back then, it's sort of difficult to imagine how scary were they. Fortunately Sabrina's team wasn't that scary, the only threat from her arsenal was Alakazam.

Correction: Special, not Special Attack. I have to stress that part, because that stat was one and the same in Gen I, it sounds confusing but not complicating: If you convert it into nowadays stats , it's 154 Special Attack and 154 Special Defence. That's the reason why most Psychic and Ice Pokémon were feared back then.

Sub-topic 1:
What if Stat was never separated as Special Attack and Special Defense as we see today? Do you think Psychic-types are still going to run amok? (Try to think any post-Gen I Pokémon like Mega Gardevoir, Espeon, Reuniclus etc. with the old mechanic.)
Sub-topic 2:
The introduction of Dark-type, Steel-type and Ghost-type glitch fix as well as the stat amendments have altered Psychic Pokémon. Do think Psychic-type has been demoted a bit too much? Or was it a right move for Game Freak to introduce a lot of new mechanics in one generation?

DforDragoz August 17th, 2015 3:46 AM

Sub-topic 1: Well, I guess it would be banned from competitive play for being too hard to beat. Maybe they'll lessen the amount of Psychic-types and make them as special as Dragons - as in they can be found very later on in the game - in order to balance it. And imagine Caitlin with her three pure Psychic types..... o_O

Sub-topic 2: I think it's just balanced enough. Psychic having no effect on Dark was a (frustratingly)good way to balance them, since a lot of Psychics are pure and oftentimes they don't learn any offensive moves of a different type. IMO, Game Freak made a right move on that, otherwise Psychic will be simply overpowered.

I don't remember Ice giving me much issue in Gen 1. However Sabrina had a Jynx in the Gen 5 PWT that always gave me problems.

Question 1.

Maybe. Although Dual typing of many Psychic types would come into play. Mewtwo is powerful even now even without mega evolutions. Gardevoir's Fairy typing helps remove the dark type weakness which is very helpful as nearly everything seems to have Crunch and Sucker Punch. If Special was one stat it would indeed imbalance as Psychic is still a strong type and would get even stronger.

Question 2.

I think Game Freak made the right move. Having a 'Super Type' is bad for the game and even though Psychic is my favourite type. I want as balanced game as possible.

Two of the Champion's signature Pokemon have been Psychic Type (Gardevoir and Metagross), only Dragon has had more. (Haxorus. Garchomp and Dragonite). Psychic is still one of the top typings in the game and I think has the most legendaries in the game.

Psychic is still one of the top types particularly with the Gen 6 Fairy nerf to Dragon.

You can further elaborate it in the Ice-type Club. ;)

Yeah, Pokémon like Gardevoir is definitely running amok if Special wasn't separated.

I personally think that the cut towards Psychic-types was harsh though. While Psychic-types aren't useless but it really demoted them to a average level. Fortunately, everything is almost fair nowadays, not a lone type stands as 'the best type' as oppose to the generations before Gen VI.

Jynx is perhaps the one Psychic Type I never do well against yet I have never used one. Something I need to look into.

Can you imagine Diantha's Mega Gardevoir if the special wasn't separated? Cynthia's Garchomp would look like a cakewalk in comparison.

I haven't played Gen 2 too much (Other than a speed run of Silver) but the nerfs to Psychic were a shock to the system. Whilst there are a few types that could do with a buff. psychic is not one of them.

Mewtwolover August 18th, 2015 11:51 AM

Yes, some of them (e.g. Gardevoir) would run amok and therefore belong to uber tier.

The introduction of Dark-type, Steel-type and Ghost-type glitch fix as well as the stat amendments have altered Psychic Pokémon. Do think Psychic-type has been demoted a bit too much? Or was it a right move for Game Freak to introduce a lot of new mechanics in one generation?
It was a right move, having one superior type would've been bad for the competitive scene in the long run.

Btw, 7th post so it's time to evolve Kirlia into a Gardevoir.

Jynx isn't that impressive, nowadays. There are speedy Dark-types like Weavile who's gonna hack her with Night Slash, fast moves like Bullet Punch and so on. :(

Not really if Garchomp is still going to be a threat with that 80 (or 120 as Mega) or 85 (or 95 as Mega) Special stat (basing in his Special Attack and Special Defense). It means a Special Garchomp hits hard and blocks Special moves with ease.

It's particularly worse (for Psychic) when moves like X-Scissor, Mega Horn and U-Turn are introduced for the Bugs.

You're the first member with a Gardevoir! ^_^ Congratulations! Pick a new Pokémon from the starters as a second partner. :) (No worries, Gardevoir is still there).

Poor human-shape Pokemon . I still plan to use Jynx (Along with other Psychic Types I never use) After all if Ralts was in 5th Gen I would have never used the Gothitelle line.

Oddly Iris' Haxorus gave me more problems than Garchomp.

Dark Moves hit Psychic hard which is one if the reasons I am pleased Gardevoir became part fairy type.

Jirachi - The Wishmaker Pokemon. This Pokémon is not known to evolve from or into any Pokemon. It's Shiny form has a yellow and red headress.

I have 16 posts. How many do I need for a Gothitelle and also to evolve little Ralts into a Kirlia?

It would be better if she receives a real evolution or Mega Evolution someday. Hahaha, I can see you using Ralts in the Gen VI games. {XD}

Particularly those Physical Dark moves, ugh they are evil and really live up to their name. {XD}

That's good as well. :)

Aww.. The answer for Ralts is already included in the main thread. :'( I think it's 10, hahaha but you better check the main thread for an accurate answer.~ Additionally you can evolve Kirlia into Gallade or have a total of 7 posts (here in Psychic-Club) for a Gardevoir (15 posts* for members who joined after Mewtwolover).

** 50% Coupon is up, further divide that 15 by 2 and remember to round the decimal numbers for a whole number.

All in-game level-up Pokémon applies for that divide mechanic. For example Abra evolves into Kadabra at Level 16, right? Divide 16 by 2, so you get 8. In order for Gothorita to evolve into Gothitelle only 16 posts is needed. (Since 50% Coupon is still up, remember to divide 16 by 2.)

DforDragoz August 20th, 2015 3:02 AM

I think I can evolve my Kirlia to Gardevoir now. I have 16 posts in total. And my Metang as well, if its available for evolution.

Jirachi is only obtainable by event or hacking. Which makes it kinda rare :(

Well, imma try a new topic.........hopefully this one isn't too difficult.
If you can have a Psychic pokemon in real life, who would it be? What would you have it do/do with it?
I'd probably have a Mime Jr. I really adored James' Mime Jr. in the anime, and hey, who doesn't want a little guy that mimics you in its own cute way?

I am on 17 posts now so can I evolve Gothorita please. I think I need one more post to evolve Ralts as I have 9 posts since obtaining her.

I can see Mega Jynx being made to look more elegant, have the hair in a bob and brunette (Rather than long and bleach Blonde) and the dress more white and flowing. Might get a type change as well as Ice/Psychic has a fair few weaknesses.

A Ralts as my starter in an Alpha Sapphire Evolocke. Hmmm.

If you can have a Psychic Pokemon in Real life what would it be? What would you do with it?

Having a Gardevoir or Gothitelle might be awkward so I will follow Delia's lead and have a Mr Mime clean and help around the house.

NO! Only 5 posts is needed to evolve Ralts (for now), because the 50% Discount Coupon is up right now as I said for a few times already. T^T Please check the main thread for more about the 50% Discount Coupon.

Normally a total of 10 posts for Ralts to evolve into Kirlia and a total of 15 posts for Kilia to become Gardevoir. With 50% Discount Coupon effective only a total of 5 posts for Ralts to evolve into Kirlia and a total of 7 posts for Kilia to become Gardevoir.

Post counts stack ups (as long as they are posts for this Club). It means if you have 100 posts, you don't need to make more posts to evolve your new Pokémon.

So you can evolve both Gothorita and Ralts now. Oh and don't forget to pick a third partner!

I hope that clears any misunderstanding. I might need to write a FAQ for the clubs with campaigns.~

This also marks the ending for the Jirachi questions.

EDIT: I have updated your teams, please check it if I have made any mistakes.

DforDragoz August 21st, 2015 9:31 PM

Hmm, how strange. I received a Jirachi for answering the mini trivia? I'm not complaining though, Jirachi is a cute addition to my team ^^ in case that's a mistake though, I'll get Mime Jr. Otherwise, Jirachi's fine.

That is to celebrate Tanabata. So participating members are awarded with a Jirachi with Mewtwolove's as a Shiny one since he replied first.

Okay, a Mime Jr. for you then. :) It can be tricky to evolve, 'In order to evolve it, 3 people need to join Psychic-type Club after obtaining Mime Jr.' I have to stress that evolution isn't necessary; it can remain as a Mime Jr. if the owner prefers it that way. :)

Mewtwolover August 21st, 2015 11:07 PM

Espeon, it would be a cute pet.

I'd like to evolve Abra into Kadabra.
