Another Shiny - I'm Getting Good At This!

So for any of you who have seen me way back when I started this blog, do you remember this:

Well, I had attempted to EV train him and his IV's weren't all that great. So I have a level 38 Deino that's EV's are out of wack and with poor IV's. Guess who decided to RNG for another? THIS GUY.

TeamDeception09 Is On A ROLL!!

So, earlier this morning I managed to RNG a shiny flawless Terrakion. That was the end? HELL NO. I decided that since I was successful in that RNG, I'd attempt something new; RNGing shiny eggs. The first attempt took a very long time, of course what would you expect from someone receiving no help and learning this all by himself? Anyways, the first shiny egg was this little guy, right here:

I'd been hunting for this since the 13th. Trying to get good IV's and a shiny. Now I have one. So I decided to continue by doing yet another shiny egg RNG, this time to tease a friend of mine at locals since he's been hunting for it for a while now to no avail. Moments ago I hatched this guy:

A shiny Snivy. Ain't it cute? I'm getting better and better at this, and the easier it gets for me the more fun it actually becomes.

Also I feel the need to say this. RNG shiny Pokemon will only be a temporary thing. When Black2 and White2 are finally released in english I shall be using those to MM shiny Pokemon as well as maybe some RE shiny Pokemon.

The Drought Is OVER

It's been a while hasn't it? So before we get to it, I will admit this. This is RNG'd, the date shows 1/8/2012 when in fact I did this like a half hour before posting this. My patience was up and figured I'd try something else since the standard SRing was taking FOREVER. Literally. Anyways, here's a few images and yes it's got near perfect IV's, there will even be a screen shot to the Pokecheck link where it shows its exact IV's.

And lastly the Pokecheck Screenshot.

Covering A Few Things

Okay so lets just jump right into this. First off the reason for my recent absence is because I acquired Pokemon Black2's rom on Saturday last weekend, and a day or so ago I finally finished the main story. Needless to say it was more of a challenge not knowing what the fuck was going on due to the whole game being in Japanese, fuck all of you who had to be cheap and use the English patch, playing the Japanese version is much more challenging. For any of you who are curious, my team after beating the Elite 4 was: Flygon, Lucario, Emboar, Jellicent, Elektross and Whimsicott, all of them were level 60 or higher BEFORE taking on the Elite 4. Here's proof that I am done with the main game and are now in the post game.

The Black Kyurem. Only obtainable in the post game. Anyways there are a few other things regarding Pokemon that I'd like to talk about. Biggest thing is simply this: Shining Charm & Round Charm. These are both new key items in Black2 and White2. The first should actually be self explanatory, the Shining Charm is an amazing new item for people who enjoy hunting for shiny Pokemon, including myself. What the Shining Charm does is increases the likelihood of you encountering a shiny Pokemon. While this key item is in your bag, the chances of encountering a shiny are increased by 300% of the normal chances, making it a 1 out of 2,370.6 chance to encounter a shiny. There's more, and it's even better. If you're using the Masuda Method to breed for shiny Pokemon, the chances of you hatching a shiny Pokemon increase from 1 out of 1,365.3 to 1,024. Hunting for shiny Pokemon becomes MUCH easier. Less bragging rights to those who have spent hours, days, weeks and months for those shiny legendary Pokemon, and there are no bragging rights for people who RNG flawless shiny Pokemon. However if you manage to get them with the nature you want and good IV's without RNGing the Pokemon, then that I guess you can still brag about. Now the second charm is less exciting but is key to the second effect of the Shining Charm. The Round Charm increases the likelihood of your Pokemon in the daycare to produce an egg. Faster egg creation plus faster shiny hunting? Just wow, way to go. Something really useful in the key items department, least something new.

Here's game one from locals this past weekend, sorry for the late upload. I'll explain my tardiness probably tomorrow here on my blog. Don't forget to click shit!

Deck Lists?

I feel like posting this here just to see if I get SOME kind of response, it's something I've considered doing since I started up this blog. Would you guys like me to post up deck lists of decks I build, maybe add some information detailing why I chose the cards I did, so on and so forth? Cause I have a few wacky decks that I wouldn't mind putting up. However I really only work on decks for Yu-Gi-Oh! since I'm still not that knowledgeable when it comes to Cardfight!! Vanguard, and I haven't played Pokemon in forever. On top of that I don't really like their set rotation, just turned me away from that game. Let me know if you guys would actually be interested! If you guys are I already have an idea for what I can start with.

Oh and as an off topic bit of information, I'm sure everyone that comes here will see the new side image off to the left. I'll be using that from now on to update information regarding which decks I'm currently playing, social sites you can contact me at and which shiny Pokemon I'm currently hunting after. It's still needs work but we'll see...

Larger View Of Updated Global Link

I'm not sure how many other people actually CAN see the Pokemon Global Link, but for those of you who frequent the Pokemon Global Link you know that they were doing a new design that was scheduled to actually end on the 22nd this month. It's still possible the Pokemon Global Link will go back down for maintenance until the 22nd, so I figured I'd post up this bigger view of the new Pokemon Global Link.

Click Image To Enlarge

Overall the design is amazing. I haven't tucked in any Pokemon in an attempt to get onto the Dream World, so I haven't a clue as to whether or not the Cool Hole, the new Dream World area within the Dream Isle, is live but I'm sure if it is, and that if the Pokemon Global Link is in fact 100% updated, Serebii will likely have a post on their site about it.

Now that I think about it...

So, how many of you guys play on Dueling Network? And how many of you see lots of players putting in their duel notes "TCG Only"? Why hasn't Dueling Network come up with a solution for this. It's actually quite simple, though it'd probably require more money. Though it's not like they're not getting enough from people donating just to get a custom avatar and sleeves for a set amount of time, which by the way in my opinion is stupid.

So what's the solution? Go into the Duel Room with at least one Forbidden card in your currently defaulted deck. Notice anything? You're automatically chosen to play in Traditional (Unrated). Have any of you face palmed yet? If they can do this for Forbidden cards on Dueling Network, why in the blue fuck have they not been able to do similar for OCG only cards and create a separate room for a unified meta? Make another Duel Room, Dueling Network. Make it so we have TCG (Rated), TCG/OCG (Rated), TCG/OCG (Unrated) and Traditional (Unrated).

Honestly I'm surprised they haven't already done this, Dueling Network has been live for over a year now. I see this happening all the time and the result is either they agree on a draw, which is an easy solution as well (but you can't expect people to be reasonable like this 24/7), or they fight until one calls an admin and the end result of that is an administrators time has now been wasted just to cancel a duel.

I can probably come up with a few other things in regards to Dueling Network that they should probably change, one would definitely be the default avatars. People would be bitching less if they didn't have to "earn" their avatars, and the same especially goes for the sleeves. Especially the sleeves they have as the default right now, what the fuck? Who wants to use barf looking sleeves like that? Make it a plain sleeve, and make it so we can change the color, I think everyone would be happy with that. Avatars? Stop using those shitty ass characters as the default avatars. Fan art sucks for avatars too, that Marik avatar looks like shit, same with the Shooting Star Dragon/Yusei one. If you want to keep it so you have to earn better avatars that's fine, but at least give some DECENT default avatars to use. There are some people who prefer not to play in the Advanced (Rated) room, and because of that they're stuck with barf sleeves and shitty avatars.

If you guys actually agree with all this and want things like this to be changed on Dueling Network pass this along or go straight to the source and speak up. The only reason why I'm posting this is these are a few things I've noticed about Dueling Network that make it suck and honestly make it not worth wanting to play on. Me, personally, I only go on there to play once in a blue moon and usually to watch my friends play, especially when they play against complete morons. Those are always fun to watch.

A Few Things To Cover

Okay so for those of you who are subscribers on my YouTube channel, I know I haven't put up Game One from this past weekend's duel videos, I do apologize and will be uploading Game One later this evening or earlier on tonight. On to the "few things" I wanted to cover though and we'll start with Vortex Trooper. What the fuck? Lately I've heard so much about this card potentially becoming a good tech card for certain decks. Decks like Exodia, Dino Rabbit, Hieratics and various others. Sure bouncing back two and drawing two new cards from your deck is pretty nice, but that involves you normal summoning a zero attack monster. Honestly I think this would be a nice addition to decks that tech a play set of Creature Swaps, but really? Unless you can somehow put out another level three monster immediately after normal summoning Vortex Trooper, it's just going to sit there and allow you to take a heavy amount of damage. I really just don't know right now, I do agree it can be a useful card in SOME decks, but Dino Rabbit? Hieratics? I seriously have my doubts, at least about these two decks.

Something else I kinda want to discuss is a feat that was first pulled off back when Black and White first came out, literally a week after the games came out. Someone by the name AeroValkyrie battled and defeated Cynthia using only level one Pokemon. He did this on video and was later uploaded to Slowflake's channel with added commentary (Click Here For Link). Recently however someone decided to take this yet another step further by beating Cynthia using only a level one Cottonee (Click Here For Link). You know the game designers really weren't thinking all that well when they made abilities like Prankster that just make moves like Leech Seed, Substitute, Poisonpowder, Double Team and tons of other moves so much more abuseable. Regardless it was pretty sweet watching Cynthia go down so easily to not six but only one level one Pokemon, even if a human wasn't making Cynthia's decisions for her in battle since that would never work in competitive play.

Now this is probably the last thing I want to cover, least for those of you who don't pay much attention to Serebii. A few tidbits of information regarding Black2 and White2 have been revealed, though nothing too major in my opinion. I'm sure a lot of people already know but it was confirmed that the PokeTransfer does return in this, it was also revealed that the form changes for Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus require items now, unless you catch them using the Dream Radar, which seems cool but to be expected, I don't think they'd want to release new forms that you were literally unable to get unless you spent like $7-10 on the Nintendo eShop to get the Dream Radar, of course I'm only guessing what it's price will be, but that tends to be the price range on there anyways at the most so... anyways, apparently the recently announced Keldeo form which occurs in the second town which seems a bit odd but whatever. This next one I find a bit interesting. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have the abilities of both Zekrom and Reshiram respectively. Really? They couldn't go the extra mile to give them NEW abilities? Oh well, at least the new forms are cool looking enough for people to probably not give a rats ass about what abilities they have. And the last bit of interesting information from Serebii is apparently the fact that Genesect might finally get an event or release or whatever you want to call it. Because up till now we've had a few empty slots in our Pokedex's and it's actually become quite annoying for me. Most likely the english games will get Keldeo and Meloetta whenever that movie gets released over here, but its whatever really.

Thats about all I had to say for now. Check back later or check my YouTube channel out from time to time to see if Game One has been put up or not yet. Later bitches!

Shiny Hunting Update

This will just be a quick post, since it's been like five weeks for hunting Terrakion I've decided to take a break from hunting him and moving on to either a random encounter of soft resetting for Volcarona, but most likely it'll be a random encounter hunt due to the fact I can just masuda method for a Larvesta. So if I start on a RE hunt it'll be most likely a Solosis, since I think the shiny for that is pretty sweet. But first thing comes first and so I won't start on it till I get a Victini with a nature that I want with decent IV's.

English Victini Event Live Again?

So for those of you who haven't read Serebii's home page yet today, the english Victini event that went on in December is live again but only till June 26th, so you have only about three weeks to pick it up, it seems like it'd be more than enough time but I'm sure people can actually be pretty busy or just too damn lazy. A few other things that should be mentioned is this, you cannot get this Victini if you previously got it back in December and like the last time it has the move V-create and the signature moves of both Zekrom and Reshiram; Fusion Bolt and Fusion Flare. If you missed it the last time, I recommend you pick it up ASAP! I'm already soft resetting for an Adamant nature with good IV's!

Justin (Inzektors) vs Colby (Lightraysworn) G2

Here's game 2. I should have my binder video up in the next few days, might put up the Vanguard videos I've got saved on my computer in the next couple days too. If you'd like me to, leave a comment telling me so and I will! Or like the video, don't forget to click shit!

Birthday Sickness & Battle Pack Box Opening

So, my birthday was yesterday. Fun and games right? Well, yesterday wasn't so bad, but later in the night I start feeling like complete shit. Coughing and mucus, the works. So, my mother is also sick and she decided we should get some cough syrup and some other things to help with congestion and etc. Apparently after I had took some, instead of it knocking me out like I hoped it would, I get loopy as shit with my friends on Skype. Long story short, I go to bed at like 5 in the morning and have to deal with waking up every hour to every other hour, annoying right? Eventually I just said fuck it because now I also have a headache to deal with. I get the feeling the rest of this week is going to be shitty.

Anyway, for my birthday I got a sealed box of the Battle Pack: Epic Dawn and a Gold Paladin Trial Deck and opened the box on video. So I'll just leave the video here for you to enjoy. Oh and I'll post an update on the whole shiny Terrakion hunt later this week, assuming I get much soft resetting in due to my being sick and all.

June 5th - Lots? Going On

So where I live its officially June 5th, I'm not sure if its still the 4th somewhere in the world at the time of me posting this, so whatever. There seems to be quite a few things going on today. First off, its my birthday. Hurray for me being 22 years old. Really though, not many people I know actually celebrate adults birthdays, pretty much only kids these days. But there are a few other things happening both in the world of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! today and figured I'd make a fun random post. It's whatever right?

So the Pokemon thing should be easy to go over, the Pokemon Global Link has been shut down already, as their maintenance was announced ahead of time that it was going down starting on the 5th and was scheduled to be done by the 21st. If none of you pay any attention to Serebii.net you should head over there and check, or their Facebook page if you want an image that's a little bigger. There has already been a preview image of sorts regarding the new look of the Pokemon Global Link and a few new features that will be added during this downtime. The biggest feature is the changes to the Dream World. First off, it's getting a new area in the Dream Isle called the Cool Hole. I can't remember if there have been any Pokemon that have been revealed to be in this area but it's painfully obvious that there'll be a mix of ice types among other random Pokemon. Anyway, the second thing regarding the Dream World is the fact that you no longer have to wait the full 24 hours to go back into the Dream World. Instead it'll now be 23 hours, may not be much of a difference, but least this way if you're feeling more impatient, it'll take less time till you can get back in, right? The last thing about this is there is a special promotion if you still have your Black or White versions and are using Black2 and White2 to use the Pokemon Global Link. It is unknown at the moment what this promotion is, but here's hoping it's something cool, or good. With that note, the only thing left to say is if you left your Pokemon in the Dream World, you're now incapable of getting it off till the 21st, so sucks to be you if you find yourself needing that Pokemon. Also since I found the image regarding the Pokemon Global Link, I'll put the image that previews the new Pokemon Global Link at the bottom of this post.

Now onto the whole Yu-Gi-Oh! thing. A few things are supposed to be released today. Two promo cards are scheduled for release today, one of which was apparently released early? Or they just mean in the magazines or some shit. The two promos are Infernity General and Kachi Kochi Dragon. Kachi Kochi Dragon being in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal manga and Infernity General being in a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga. Infernity General should make things a little more interesting, at least for Infernity players. Kachi Kochi Dragon, like on Dueling Network I expect to see little to no play what so ever. Also I don't know what the intended date for it actually is, but for those of you who have forgotten about it, Number 16: Shock Master is starting to appear in the mail for a lot of people, a few of my friends included. I may be slow on it or whatever but I don't really care.

So thats about all thats going on today, it's just some random shit but felt like posting something.

Link To Serebii News Regarding The Pokemon Global Link

Justin (Inzektors) vs Colby (Lightraysworn) G1

Here's Game 1 from my locals this past weekend. Game 2 will be up tomorrow or Wednesday!

Your GX In My ZeXal?

So on Shriek's TCG site, they posted up a bit of information regarding the next set, Return of the Duelist including it's release date, which is August 28th. There was one part of the post that caught my eye. The bolded text is what I am talking about.

In Return of the Duelist, players will be kept busy as they scramble to get all the cards for 6 new Deck themes. Duelists will also want to get their hands on the first of a new series of elemental boss monsters. Nostalgic fans and players will also want to get the new cards from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX featured in Return of the Duelist that can combo with cards and themes found in the Ra Yellow Mega-Pack. Cards from Return of the Duelist will boost Decks when combined with cards in Order of Chaos and Abyss Rising (coming in November).

So I notice that they mention the fact that there will be cards that are from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era, that can combo with cards from the Ra Yellow Mega-Pack. This leaves a lot to the imagination. I mean, the whole GX era when it comes to the card game started at The Lost Millennium. Lets just think for a few seconds about the themes supported in the Ra Yellow Mega-Pack that could new support in Return of the Duelist.

- Gladiator Beasts
- Crystal Beasts
- Lightsworns
- HEROes (Elemental & Destiny)
- Six Samurai

So, I see 3, maybe 4 different themes that are even remotely competitive. Gladiator Beasts, Lightsworns, Elemental HEROs and Six Samurai. So, what of these do we know for a fact will be getting at least one new card? Oh yeah, Six Samurai in that Structure Deck that's coming out at the end of the month. This could be an easy sign that Six Samurai's are in Return of the Duelist, to make it a little more obvious, just look at the cover card for this set. Heroic Champion - Excaliber is a card a lot of people on Dueling Network use in HEROes, because it requires 2 level 4 WARRIOR-Type monsters. I haven't checked into these Heroic monsters in a long time, but if memory serves they are all Warrior-Type monsters. I don't know about any of you, but I'm smelling new Six Samurai monsters. Speaking of the whole Warrior-Type thing, HEROes fall into this category as well. Just what the game needs, more HEROes. Especially since we should have Elemental HERO Escuridao by then as well. I seriously doubt any support for Crystal Beasts will appear in Return of the Duelist, Gladiator Beasts have that possibility since in some recent sets they've managed to get one to two support cards that were pretty much just completely random. Lightsworns are unlikely too, but it's Konami so who knows?

Bob (Gladiator Beasts) vs Matt (Hieratics) G3

So I'm going to start putting my videos here on my blog as well, see if it can't help get my videos around and keep this blog a little more active. May do weekly shiny Pokemon hunt updates as well. Anyway enjoy the video!
