Switch was stolen with dex completed. Recently got a new one for Christmas along with sword and dlc , looking for help completing base 400 so I can get shiny charm quickly. Thank you I’m advance 🤘🏻
So I know a possible reason why it didn't bring back to Mega evolution when they released c.o.t
Not only would you have the mega evolution but you also have the Dynamax and gigamax. Now imagine you using them both together that make the game pretty broken

Today's Pokémon is Omastar, a Rock/Water type. You guys guessed: Dragon and Dark. There were no winners this time, but better luck next time!
Zapdos: Indigenous Thunderbird of the North
If you're able to remember playing Pokémon Red, Blue or Green and finally reaching Zapdos only to have most of your team paralyzed and outsped every turn, you know that Zapdos is a frightening force to be reckoned with. But just what is Zapdos' inspiration? If it's answers you're looking for, you've come to the right place.
Image: Zapdos doing God's work.
There's a bird of legend known as the 'Thunderbird' amongst the indigenous tribes of Northern Native Americans. It's commonly drawn in an X shape, much like Zapdos. I know Native drawings aren't always intricate and detailed, so you'll have to use a bit of imagination here, but this is what Indigenous depictions of a Thunderbird looks like.
Image: Cave paintings of the Thunderbird. Note the X shaped body.
The Thunderbird is said to roam the skies and send bolts of lightning down at the water serpent residing in the sea — similar to how Lugia resides at the sea floor and shows up to stop Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres from fighting. By flapping it's wings, the Thunderbird creates static electricity and channels it into bolts of lightning, exactly like Zapdos does. It's also said that the Thunderbird is a messenger of the sun. It's almost like Ho-Oh abandoned its subordinates to go rescue some Pokémon I won't name yet, and left Lugia in charge of the legendary birds.
Image: Zapdos throwing a temper tantrum.
As for the real life animal that Zapdos was based on, that would be the Yellow Warbler, known to dwell in North America, just like the Thunderbird. The colour palette is undeniable and the geographic area it resides in leads me to believe that it is unmistakably a miniature Zapdos.
Image: A male North American Yellow Warbler.
I'll do a follow up sometime after Moltres including the Galarian birds as well, so just be patient. If you feel like my work is worth a like or tip, then thank you. And if not, I'll earn it next time. Thanks for reading!

+3 Kantonian Articuno - The Chimera of Mt. Katahdin
Articuno has always been the most majestic of the legendary birds and truly earned its title as the God of Blizzards, but what if I told you that Articuno could easily be the ugliest of the legendary birds? Don't hate me yet, there's a reason, hear me out.
Image: Articuno radiating majestic energy.
Articuno's origin is truly bizzare in that it's an amalgamation of many creatures and cultures. The main creatures it's based on are the Pamola and the White-throated Magpie-Jay. The Pamola is known within Native American mythology as a God of snow, ice, wind and storms. Resting atop Mount Katahdin, the Pamola guards its turf and freezes intruders to death upon sight. That's where they run out of things in common though, because the Pamola has a different look I guess you could say.
Image: Painting of the Pomola drawn by Maurice Jake Day
The Pamola as you can see had the head of a moose, the body of a man, and the legs, beak and wings of an eagle. I told you Articuno could easily be the ugliest, but that's where the White-throated Magpie-Jay comes into play. You see, if you look closely at the colour palette, the plumage and the noble air it gives off, you can clearly see the inspiration.
Image: A White-throated Magpie-Jay or Articuno in 4K.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga the three legendary birds were fused together by Team Rocket to create Thu-Fi-Zer, a three headed divine bird with a base stat total of 1,470. Ranking it as the strongest Pokémon to ever exist, for a brief period.
Fun fact before I go: ArticUNO, ZapDOS, and MolTRES, are based off of the Spanish numbers for one, two and three respectively.

Mew - The Blueprint
If you've ever seen a Mew before, then you know that they're pretty friendly, mischievous and shy. I said 'a Mew' on purpose because there were trillions of them and now there's a small handful of their population left. Wondering how that could be? Well, allow me to explain.
GIF: Mew being cute as per usual.
Mew is known as the New Species Pokémon. That's quite the double entendre if you're aware of its meaning. Before that, I have to give a quick explanation of sorts. Both Mew and MEWtwo share a name concept being 'MUtation of DNA' as well as a cats meowing, since they're both based on felines.
GIF: Shiny Mew warming our jaded hearts.
The reason Mew is known as the 'New Species Pokémon' is for a myriad of reasons. Firstly, the obvious one, Mew can alter its DNA at will to evolve into any Pokémon it chooses. The less obvious reason is that Pokémon researchers didn't know of its existence for ages. The final reason stands out as the least known though.
GIF: Mew messing around with that foul rat.
The last reason ties back into the beginning of the Pokémon multiverse. If you're not new here, you can skip this bit.
For those of you who don't know how it started here we go: At a point there was nothing in existence but an egg. Nobody knows how or when it appeared, since time and space didn't yet exist. The egg hatched the God of the Pokémon multiverse, presently known as Arceus. After creating the Creation Trio, the Weather Trio, the Aura Trio and the Lake Guardians, Arceus decided to populate the Earth.
GIF: Mew playing with Ash's lucky hat.
PICKUP HERE: So trillions of Mew were scattered across the Earths of the multiverse, each adapting and evolving to suit their surroundings. What that means is that almost every single non-legendary or non-mythical creature is a descendant of Mew. I'll say it again so it sinks in, Mew is the common ancestor of almost every creature, not just Pokémon. Yes, that includes humans.
Mew avoids people because it understands people. We are creatures of selfishness and violence; it's only natural that humans destroy everything. After all, it's in our DNA, right, Mew?
+3 Pokémon tgc for the og mewtwo
Ok so I am going to go over some things to begin with. I am going to be talking about how to tell fake Pokémon cards. What are rare Pokémon.
Ok so let’s get into this
I am going to start with how to tell a fake Pokémon card from a real one. Their are many ways people make fake cards one of the ways is to change the color on the back of the card
the one on the bottom is the fake one you can tell because the color is off a bit and that the light reflects off of it more.
Their is one more way that I know to tell and I think that this is one of the harder way to tell and I can’t really add a picture but if your card has a square shape where the light comes of of it
if you don’t know what I mean then I have it in the picture up above if that part has squares in it instead of a circle like shape then it’s fake
And on to what is a rare card so I have some rare cards
The first way to tell is that if the go on the card is red or black. If you have a card with red Heath it is an older card such as this one
The best way is if the border of the card is different like this one
the border on around the card is golden and most cards just have a yellow one like this one
And most people that know something about card will most likely know that any card that has EX GX and V or Vmax and the last is a mega they are all harder to get cards
that is the mega
that is the v
that is the GX
and then the EX
and that is the last one Vmax
Ok and if any trainer cards are like this they are rare too
+10 Pokémemes Pikachu: Ash........ ASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH/Ash: R.I.P/ me: umm hes gonna be alive
+1 Gible survived WHAT?!?!
Okay, so my gible survive TWO brines (if tou didn't know, gible and up are all ground type) at ONE HP. I think its because of all the geodudes I KOd to lv him up, (they give defense IVs I think) but it might be him just being a tank or the dmg luck of high roll and low roll. Also, will you tell me if geodude dose give defenseIVs? Because IVs aren't something I know much about (P.S. sory for low res im uploading off of my phone).

Mewtwo - The Greatest Threat to Arceus' Multiverse
Mewtwo — as you all know by now was made by the Kanto Gym Leader of Cinnabar Island, Blaine. Blaine was a secret researcher for Giovanni, the Viridian City Gym Leader and the creator of the criminal organization known as Team Rocket.
GIF: Mewtwo stopping several Mewtwo balls with ease.
Mewtwo was made by experimenting with Mew's DNA by using only the most powerful nucleotides to create the ultimate life form — a force so strong, not even the Elite Four, all of Team Rocket or the God Arceus could stop it. Before I explain Mewtwo's mega evolutions, I need to explain AZ.
Image: AZ brooding as per usual.
AZ was a child who was born over 3,000 years ago right before the Great Kalos War. AZ didn't trust people very easily, but when his mother gave him a Floette as a gift, AZ and his Floette quickly became inseparable. During the Great Kalos War however, the King conscripted his citizen's Pokémon to fight in the war. This led to AZ begging and pleading to keep his Floette. As the war died down and the King had won the war, AZ awaited his Floette's return.
Image: AZ heartbroken over the death of Floette.
After finding out that he would never see his Floette again, he got to work creating the ultimate weapon to revive his her. However, his plan backfired. The weapon was way too powerful and ended up more than reviving her — it immortalized the both of them. Immortality doesn't come cheap though, and when Floette found out that AZ used the lives of several thousands of Pokémon to bring her back, she abandoned him. Don't worry, they reunite 3,000 years later.
GIF: Eternal Floette and AZ's 3,000 year reunion.
Mewtwo has alternate mega forms since AZ's ultimate weapon had accidentally split the universe into three timelines. One timeline contains Mega evolutions like Mega Mewtwo X, while the 2nd timeline has Mega Mewtwo Y, and in the last timeline mega evolutions don't even exist. The Mega Mewtwo's are on a level of their own and could singlehandedly wipe out the planet if they were to be upset enough. Remember, they are the Mega evolutions of the perfect life form.
Image: Mega Mewtwo Y (left) & Mega Mewtwo X (right).
Not only is Mewtwo perfect, but the Mega evolutions invest the absurd stats of Mewtwo into a pure Special Attacker (Mewtwo Y) and a pure Physical Attacker (Mewtwo X). But there's more, it's also the only Pokémon to match Mega Rayquaza's stats and Arceus handpicked Rayquaza to receive the first ever Mega-Evolution.
Image: Mewtwo exuding pure dominance.
If that's not enough, there's still more. Mewtwo is capable of reading minds, seeing the future, teleporting, using telekinesis, human speech through brain waves, pyrokinesis, and is the smartest Pokémon in existence. That purple part you see on Mewtwo is more than its tail. That's its brain that doesn't fit in its head alone. That's why there's a tube at the back of his head, to send even more information to the rest of the body, and quicker too. That boosts its reaction time, intelligence and processing speed and awareness. Mewtwo truly does have no rivals.
Image: Best boy. No debate. I won't hear it.
This is what confidence looks like.

Groudon: the Tectonic Behemoth
Before I get into Groudon's concept design, I have to explain its origin story. So for those of you who are into lore, this is for you.
Image: One dusty Ground boy.
At some point when time and space didn't yet exist, there was an egg. The egg hatched the God of the Pokémon universe, known today as Arceus. Arceus felt great loneliness and decided to create life, but in order to sustain life there needed to be some guidance, and that's when Arceus created Palkia (the God of time), Dialga (the God of space) and Giratina (the God of antimatter).
Image: The Creation Trio & God - Giratina (left), Arceus (middle), Palkia (right) & Dialga (far right)
With the blueprint to creation set, Arceus went about creating the Weather Trio, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza. Kyogre created the seven seas and Groudon created the seven continents. Now here is where I can explain Groudon's design inspiration.
Image: The Behemoth from Jewish mythology
The Behemoth is one of three fabled creatures from Jewish mythology, including the Leviathan (Kyogre) and the Ziz (Rayquaza). It's said that the Divine King of Beasts, the Behemoth is an unconquerable monster residing in an invisible desert and it only leaves to eat from the mountains and clash with the Divine Queen of the sea, the Leviathan (Yep, Kyogre's a girl). Occasionally, the Divine King of the skies, Ziz appears to try to stop the fighting.
Image: The Weather Trio
But wait, there's more! I'm sure you've all noticed by now that Groudon isn't based solely on the behemoth. Go ahead, take a guess and comment what you think the final inspiration was. I'll wait..... You were right, it's Godzilla!
Image: Godzilla's dinner watching from afar.
Groudon eventually had the red orb given to him by Maxie, the leader of team Magma and was forced to undergo 'Primal Reversion'. Only Kyogre and Groudon are capable of this feat since their power comes from energy stored in stones for eons, whereas 'Mega Evolution' stones are just rare meteorite shards that resonate with certain Pokémon.
Image: Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Arceus blessed Mega-Rayquaza.
Knowing what you do know, who is your favourite of the Weather Trio? Rayquaza, Groudon or Kyogre? Thanks for reading and make sure to leave a like if you enjoyed it! 😁

Garchomp the Amalgamation of Terrors (For Mega Garchomp)
Dictionary:
Yi Qi (Pronounced: Yee-She)
Garchomp is... To put it simply, a lot going on at once. To shine some light on the truth behind him, you need to know one thing first. Firstly, Garchomp and Salamence are both enemies and will compete for food and territory, hence why male Garchomp have that slice on their dorsal fin.
Image: Garchomp flexing his new jewelry.
Now, to say that Garchomp is a VERY well Pokémon would be an understatement, but nobody really knows what it is. What we do know is that it is most certainly based on hammer head sharks in part. It's known as the lands hark Pokémon and see the similarities for yourself.
Image: A hammerhead shark just snacking.
That only explains the fins and head shape, and so we're still left to wonder, just what is Garchomp really? They say that he's a relentless predator that never lets a prey escape, but many people overlook just what that means. Garchomp is a Dragon/Ground type from the freezing cold Sinnoh Region that resides very deep in caves where the temperature is higher considering Garchomp has a DOUBLE weakness to ice. So it can't be in the cold long and doesn't want to touch too much snow, but still needs to hunt — that's where the gliding comes in.
Image: The extinct Chinese dinosaur Yi Qi
The Yi Qi is one of two dinosaurs that didn't walk or fly, they glide. You heard that right, ONE OF TWO. Garchomp has one rival, being Salamence and Salamence also glides. Plus if you look at those wings, they're bat-like but also undergoing evolution to become today's modern birds. The hooks at the tips of the wings should seal the deal even if the rest of the body doesn't really match.
Image: Fighter Squadron P-40 nose art
That would be because Garchomp's main influence is the P-40 that started the nose art craze nearly 80 years ago in North Africa during November of 1941. Where do you keep fighter planes and jets? A flight HANGAR, and how does GARchomp travel? It leaps and then glides in the air for maximum HANG time.
Image: Garchomp asserting dominance.
Just remember guys, when Garchomp mega evolves he goes into a psychotic fit of bloodlust, slashing at enemies until they're brutally dismembered, and ten year olds are allowed to train these.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon First Timer
All of us are fans of Pokémon whether it's the TCG (Trading Card Game), the main series games, the TV shows, movies or even the plushies — but most of us have never played any of the side games like Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon Colesseum, Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness, etc.
So I'm here to remind you guys that there are TONS of Pokémon games out there to try, even if you don't have any consoles anymore. As long as you own the original copy of the game it's not considered illegal. But then again, most people don't pay for Windows 10, so I'll leave that to your discretion.

If you don't have a shadow Mewtwo yet, then a regular Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball will suffice.

Kyogre's Wrath - Underwater Nobody Will Hear You Scream (For Pikachu22)
For years we've all sort of accepted what we didn't know about or understand, but the Hoenn region is my favourite, so today we're going to figure out just what the God of the sea really is.
Image: Kyogre, the Sea Basin Pokémon
Kyogre has a very simple background, however its birth is more important. The story is that once there was an egg, nobody can say when the egg appeared because time didn't exist yet. The egg hatched and out came God of the Pokémon universe, Arceus. I'm going to skip over the creation trio to save you some time, but Arceus created Kyogre to produce the seven seas and Groudon to produce the seven continents.
Image: Primal Groudon (left) and Primal Kyogre
Time would pass and with no space to expand their domain further, Kyogre and Groudon became rivals. Rayquaza would intervene and force them to behave before returning to the skies — That is until a meteor headed for Earth and Rayquaza was unable to fully stop it. This meteor introduced the red and blue orbs to what is now known as Hoenn and created the first and last ever Primal reversions.
Image: Primal Reversion Kyogre
But just what is Kyogre based on? Well, that's the easy part. Northern Japan is home to the apex predators that hunt creatures 10x their own weight — ie: whales — in pods (groups), meet the Orca. Truly a perfect choice for the our Angry Drip Lord, Kyogre.
+3 
Slowpoke, the Brightest Idiot (For Pokémon God)
Image: Slowpoke just chillin'.
If you wander the shores of the Johto Region, you're bound to see Slowpoke using its tail as a fishing rod. This is for a few reasons, the most important of which being that Slowpoke is a giant salamander with hippo-like features. And what are salamanders famous for? Detaching their tails when caught so they can escape while the wiggling tail distracts the predator.
Image: A Salamander regrowing its tail.
Slowpoke have developed a tail that regrow specifically because they're salamanders and because they're kind of stupid so they oftentimes don't notice the bite on their tail. That's also how Team Rocket kept making money off of them by the way. Originally it was named Slowmo, but it was later changed because of the English term for 'slowpoke' suited it as well as it being a 'Slow' 'Pokémon'.
Image: Alchemical Salamander
In Alchemy, the salamander represents immortality, rebirth and the ability to withstand flames. That would explain the water typing of Slowpoke, but it runs much deeper than that. You remember when I said that it was also loosely based on a hippo? Well, the HIPPOcampus is the part of our brain responsible for learning and memory.
Image: The human hippocampus (bottom-right)
This ties into one of its evolutions, Slowking — known to be one of the smartest Pokémon to exist. Still don't believe me? Okay, well the reason Slowking is so smart is because of the philosophers stone embedded in its crown. Crown is also another word for head by the way.
Image: Slowking enjoying some ramen.
In mythology and Alchemy, the philosophers stone is said to grant immortality, all knowledge and the ability to convert metals into gold which was thought to be the perfect metal. Essentially it imbues the wielder with perfection. This is the creature Slowpoke was based off of before obtaining enlightenment.
Image: The Chinese Giant Salamander
So think twice before you insult a Slowpoke, it might just remember that.
+5 Dragapult's Dark Origin (For Mega Garchomp)
I didn't know this was one of my favourite Pokémon until I started doing research into Dragapult. I hope you're not emotional, cause this could be a little saddening.
Image: Dragapult just doing his best
Dragapult's name is a combination of two words, one being 'dragon' and the other being 'catapult' which is a medieval ballistic tool used to launch projectiles using stored energy through tension.
Image: A catapult
The reason it got the catapult part of the name is the little Dreepy that Dragapult launches, not necessarily because it's supposed to look like a catapult. In fact, Dragapult's looks are based off of two things as well. One being the Diplocaulus, an amphibian from the Late Carboniferous Period to the Permian Period.
Image: The now extinct Diplocaulus.
The other thing that Dragapult is based off of is the F-35B Stealth bomber. In Seotember of 2018 the US Marine Corps had a F-35B stealth bomber crash land on the Royal Aircraft Carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, luckily the pilot ejected to safety before the landing.
Image: An F-35B Stealth Bomber aboard the HMS Queen Elizabeth.
But hold on, it gets worse. Dragapult's typing are Dragon/Ghost. We know that in Pokémon games that dragons are basically the symbol of power and it's a stealth BOMBER. The ghost part comes from the stealth part of it, for sure, but it also comes from the fact that during WWI and WWII many airforce pilots were gunned down in dogfights (mid-air fights). Who was heavily involved in the wars and suffered casualties? What is the Galar Region based on? The answer to both is, the United Kingdom.
Image: Dragapult and Dreepies? Dreepy's? Idk.
The truth is, Dragapult is probably the left over aircraft of a dead pilot that obtained consciousness the same way Gengar and Marshadow did.
