There's a lot that could be said with the time we've played together, the things we've worked on, crafted, inside jokes, etc. You were there on what I thought would be my last day of gameplay and one of the first people to meet me in-game after I came back. Above all, I just want to say that i'll miss you friend and I hope that you achieve everything you set out to do.

The Pachirisu build has been updated. I've sorted it into a speed neutral, speed+, and speed- minus nature set. I also broke down the minimum IVs needed for speed, EVs needed for a variety of speed IVs, etc. Ultimately a modest nature is recommended. If you're interested in building a Pachirisu for PVE, I recommend checking it out

Thank you for mentioning this. I worked with BulkyBell to create a tailored watchog with illuminate and diglett/dugtrio build. I included the usable aspects right now and i'll fill out the rest of the build info as time goes. I credited you as well and included you the moveset you just suggested, thank you!

While having a higher Speed stat than the wild Pokémon increases your chances of escaping, it doesn’t guarantee a 100% success rate. Some player experiences were provided to me which I included below. Player Observations: Weezing vs. Rapidash Horde: A player reported that their Weezing, with a Speed stat of 156, failed to escape 4 out of 22 times from Level 46-47 Rapidash hordes. The maximum Speed of these wild Rapidash is 129, indicating that a Speed advantage of approximately 1.2 times (156/129 ≈ 1.21) wasn’t sufficient for guaranteed escape. Escape Formula Insights: Another player calculated that with a Speed stat of 42 against wild Pokémon with a Speed stat of 41, the chance of successfully escaping on the first attempt was about 63%. To achieve a 100% escape rate, a Speed stat of 72 was recommended, which is approximately 1.76 times higher than the wild Pokémon’s Speed. The following experiments were done using Rapidash hordes on Unova route 12 since it's a 100% horde, a relatively high level, and high enough speed that speed multipliers can apply. I have currently ruled out, with the help of testers that are included in credits below, speed stat multipliers at 1.72x and lower. The fastest Rapidash at that route has a speed stat of 129 so the multipliers are based off of that 1.65x = 213 (100/100 successful runs) 1.7x = 219 (60/60 successful runs) 1.72x = (0/1 successful runs) 1.75x = 226 (250/250 successful runs) 1.8x = 232 (121/121 successful runs) 1.85x = 239 (60/60 successful runs) 1.9x = 245 (100/100 successful runs) 1.95x = 252 (60/60 successful runs) 2.0x = guaranteed flee The experiment assumes that it's based off a certain difference from the fastest wild poke. The exact formula could be wildly different, but at a certain point, being a certain degree should do the trick. The goal is the find the smallest range possible to feel comfortable running away. Choice Scarf affects the speed stat in running away so if you don't want to do the calculations, you can pick a fast poke and add a choice scarf. Theoretical Recommendation: Based on these observations, to maximize your chances of successfully fleeing from wild battles in PokeMMO without relying on abilities or items, it’s advisable to have your Pokémon’s Speed stat be at least 1.75 times higher than that of the wild Pokémon. Considerations: Horde Battles: Escaping from horde encounters, which involve multiple wild Pokémon, appears to be more challenging. The game might perform multiple escape checks—one for each wild Pokémon—increasing the likelihood of a failed attempt. Game Mechanics Variability: PokeMMO may have unique escape mechanics differing from the official games, so empirical testing and community insights are valuable for determining effective strategies. If anyone has additional data that they've tested to get a more accurate score, please include them in the comments below. Credits @Rache Mugiwaraf @BulkyBell @Zuladra Echotheghost @BBComeBack

Optimal PvE Teddiursa Summary Pokémon: Teddiursa Nature: Mild **You can use Rash nature if you roll it. There isn't a huge difference in one nature over the others. This could be considered a customizable piece for you based on the hordes you plan to battle and pokes you anticipate taking damage from. If you anticipate taking significantly more physical damage or physical damage from a specific Pokemon wherein you need to mitigate damage from, you can go with a Rash nature** Level: 100 Ability: Pickup Hidden Ability: Honey Gather **You can ability pill it back to Pickup if you want the diamond and HA option for Teddiursa** Items: Choice Band or Choice Specs IVs: Ideally 6x31. For more practical cost-saving purposes, 3x31 with Attack, Special Attack, Speed. **For an explanation about why I stated these IVs, check the IV explanation section below** EVs: 126 Attack, 252 Special Attack, 132 speed Moves: Earthquake, Hyper Voice, Sweet Scent, fourth move of choice Egg Moves: Belly Drum, Cross Chop, Yawn, Night Slash **Optional, but I recommend at least Belly Drum and Night Slash for fun** **If you pass egg moves to the final breed, they are re-learnable. This means you will have expanded the maximum moveset of your final breed** HM Moves: Cut, Rock Smash, Strength Reference: Optimal PvE pickup Teddiursa, munchlax, meowth, and pachirisu with leveling strategies [This is a hyperlink to the guide] Optimal PvE Amoongus Pokemon: Amoongus Nature: Naive Level: 100 Ability: Regenerator Item: Leftovers IVs: 2x31 in special attack and speed.

This means you will have expanded the maximum moveset of your final breed** HM Moves: Cut, Flash, Rock Smash Reference: The Optimal PvE Parasect guide with additional EV explanations [This is a hyperlink to the guide]

Hello, It's still applicable for all non-legendary pokemon. The remaining 12 EVs aren't such a big difference that it would end up making a difference for legendaries. The overall EV spread and speed stat still holds

This is the new one compared to what existed prior. There have been about 3 new guides since I had left the game. I noticed you published a guide recently which is one of the three which I have added. Moving forward, Elizn would be a fantastic person to contact if you need a guide added if she isn't too busy since she assisted me with the hyperlinks and other aspects previously so she can directly edit this. My checking forums moving forward will be infrequent so I may not personally update this regularly. With the raids section, I was informed recently that the information changes quite regularly so if anyone has raids guides/videos that are consistently pertinent for the raids section, I can add that at a later time.

I am unsure of that, but that could be something fun to compare. It would have to factor in the fluctuating orb prices and future rise/fall of orb prices - similar to what happened to gracideas and rainbow quills

pachirisu information updated. I included information about two other moves to add thanks to @Minks and also included a writeup for EV hordes you can battle to continue benefiting from picking in order to ev train your pokemon.

Information for an optimal pickup pachirisu has been added below the information for munchlax. I will make it more organized later, but for now, the necessary info is there

Once you have defeated 50 battles on each level without losing, you will get the ribbon. Each set is a battle of 7 so it's more like 7-8 sets to get the ribbon. Then if you go back into tower while your streak is above 50 and you still haven't lost, every 7 battles will give you another ribbon

Thank you for your application! I'll message you

Thank you for your interest! As we are full now, we will reach out if there is space in the future

Due to the increase in content for legendary pokemon and raids, individual sections for those have been made
