I think Zipcaster might be the worst special. Not because it’s bad but because it’s functionally so difficult to maximize the utility out of it.

Exact reason why I thought Splatoon Raiders would be a net benefit to the overall community.

Ok, time to log off everything. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is coming out this week. I want to avoid spoilers as much as possible. See you later.

5,256 soft resets. Favorite legendary of all time as a shiny with OT/Name: Silver and from the Johto region. Used rubber bands to wrap around L and R button so I could just hit start & select to make it easier to reset.

Are Chargers Good in Splatoon Raiders? Would be a banger video. Oh, the amount of memes, and laughs.

Splatoon Raiders looks really fun and I’m glad people are enjoying it.

I have been playing Splatoon Raiders In my imagination because I work a full time and I need (want) money.

Ok, I’ve been playing SoulSilver and HeartGold at the same time. For SoulSilver, I am going to start shiny hunting for Lugia. I’ll pause on HeartGold so I can play FireRed on the Switch and shiny hunt for Squirtle. Shinies so far: Gen IV: Cyndaquil, Totodile*, Ledyba, Scyther, and Chikorita.

I know there is a petition for Sony to continue making physical games post-2028 & all the social media posts. But…none of that matters if you buy their products. Talking about it is important (& you can continue to do so) but these companies primarily respond / react to one thing…money.

6,732 resets. I think after having 200 resets for Cyndaquil and 19 resets for Totodile, this was very fair to happen.

The FIFA games have confirmed 2 things for me 1. VAR is going above and beyond on what it was intended to do 2. The biggest diva teams made the top 4. (Honorary 3: Capo Verde should’ve made it at the end)

I don’t think Egypt’s 2nd goal should’ve been taken away.

What Argentina did to Egypt was what I was hoping Mexico would have done to England.

Welp, looks like I’m cheering for Norway now. In all honesty, in all of NA, Mexico had the best shot. But their defense just crumbled yesterday before half time. At least they kept the momentum. U.S. just looked lost so many times.

On one hand, I don’t think Balogun should’ve gotten a red card in the 1st place. I also think if Belgium wants to make it to the end, they should expect to play teams at their best. I just don’t like that politicians had an influence in the reversal of the red card…I just want to watch fútbol.

Jynx, you owe me a soda! Likely my last shiny on Pokemon Shield for a while. I am going to start a new file on Pokemon Sword to hunt for Lugia and Ho-Ho since they were two legendaries I caught normally in Shield DAs.

The biggest criticism of Splatoon Raiders is that it is Side Order 2.0 at $60 price tag. 1. You don’t have to buy it. 2. The multiplayer addition makes it different. For a game that thrives (& is alive) bc of its multiplayer base, making the spin-off multiplayer is what is best for the franchise.

First DA of the day. Nice find!

Gus @gusplatoon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
The latter. So, once you get to the selection screen and you see none are shiny, close the game. It will cost you ore the more you do it. So, that’s why you play and play until you have a good amount AND you found a really good route.

Gus @gusplatoon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
Rock is good because you have things like rock slide that could flinch and stone edge that has an increased critical hit ratio.

Gus @gusplatoon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
For Yveltal, I would focus on getting physical attackers and Fairy and/or Rock types. Physical attackers wouldn’t get impacted by snarl’s decrease in special attack Fairy is resistant against Dark. So, I would lean in picking up fairies.

Teammates don’t grab them. 3) Don’t just focus on type advantages but also team moves. For example, if I see a Togetic, I usually grab it because of life dew. Overall, it’s all strategy. You identify patterns and I think that’s easiest when you reset your routes.

Gus @gusplatoon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
Oh, that’s a difficult one bc of its moveset. Generally, for most DAs, some tips are: 1) Find a really good route with type advantages and reset the route if you don’t get a shiny. This will cost you ore but if you have a lot, it is worth it 2) Sometimes, you can take the crappy Pokemon so your…

Gus @gusplatoon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
The Blood Moon rises…. (On and off hunt for the last 2ish months. Over 100 DAs but less than 200 DAs.) Unsure who to target next.

Still no Chikorita. At 1,075 resets. But Shiny Feraligatr!

OH MY GOD!!! Fun fact: Ledyba was my first ever shiny in Pokemon Silver. I didn’t know what shiny Pokemon were at the time.

Content Cat was definitely the dark horse and underdog throughout the whole tournament. Talented players who were (or still are) overlooked or undermined for their weapon choices. Definitely one of the fun teams watching throughout the NA series.
