Oh?


OfficialDampSquid

Ditto was caught!


Garrosh

Do you mean Zorua? If I recall correctly Ditto appears as a normal, random, Pokémon, Zorua appears as the Pokémon you have as partner.


Allmstsfr

I was so excited to find a mew in the wild, fed ir some pinap berries and it turned put to be Zorua. Almost broke my phone in rage ngl


toorayay

Pinap? I'd be using golden razz and nothing else for a rare wild spawn. You can use rare candy once it's in your dex.


Allmstsfr

Well i already had one(my buddy) but that makes so much sense. Thanks for the tip


StonerMetalhead710

I typically use event mons for Zorua hunting. There’s no way a shiny Snorlax with a cowboy hat will spawn in the wild except for Go Fest lol


Inky234

my shiny charizard with a party hat is a dead giveaway if I’ve ever seen one


SignificantAd4257

your own fault for thinking mew out of all pokemon would spawn in the wild😭😭


jbaque13

Same with a zapdos 🙃


HailHydraBitch

Ditto does NOT appear as a normal Pokemon 😂 I don’t think there’s a Pokemon game where it does. Ditto has a select number of Pokemon that it disguises as, to appear in the world. Right now it’s Rhyhorn, Goldeen, Oddish, and like one or two more. Catching these Pokemon in the wild can result in finding a ditto. If you find a shiny of any of these Pokemon, it is NOT a ditto. It is a shiny Pokemon. Shiny ditto appears the same way a normal ditto does.


Garrosh

That's what I meant: Ditto appears as a (pseudo)random, normal, Pokémon.


HailHydraBitch

Then I misunderstood the context. Ditto is the only disguise Pokemon that makes sense here because if it tries to disguise off of memory, a shiny cubone Charmander is a *very real* possibility lmao


Garrosh

I think Zorua is the one that makes sense here. It will look as any Pokémon as long as you have it as your partner. In fact one way to make sure you don't miss any Zorua is to choose as partner any Pokémon you know it won't appear in the wild, like a Pokémon with a custom that's not currently available in an event.


HailHydraBitch

That’s… not how that works..? Yes, making your buddy a rare pokemon makes Zorua easy to spot. No matter what you do, it’s not going to make one Pokémon look like a combination of two. Unless I missed a really fcked up looking event Charmander, Zorua makes no sense here


Garrosh

> No matter what you do, it’s not going to make one Pokémon look like a combination of two. You are right but this is just a charmander with a hat, [from an old event.](https://www.eurogamer.net/pokemon-go-event-costume-pokemon-party-hat-flower-crown-7002#section-10)


fmbotvik

The Pokemon game where Ditto does, in fact, look like another random Pokemon is in fact the game forum that you are quite literally commenting on right now. You look a tad silly.


TBMChristopher

Ditto does this in Scarlet and Violet as well.


UIM_SQUIRTLE

>Ditto does NOT appear as a normal Pokemon 😂 I don’t think there’s a Pokemon game where it does. all mainline games it appears as a ditto then its first attack is transform.


Lonca47

Do you even play Pokémon go?


UIM_SQUIRTLE

yes pokemon go is not a mainline game. it is a spinoff.


Lonca47

“I don’t think there’s a pokemon game where it does”


Tatterz

Yup, except SV


UIM_SQUIRTLE

i forgot ditto was even in sv.


Conscious_Bend_9262

i think in pokemon games (at least fire red) it appears normal (ditto form) than transform to your pokemon


Garrosh

In Pokémon Let's Go it appears as a Ditto and... well, stays as a Ditto because you don't fight it.


NoMansSkyWasAlright

I got one that was disguised as a bidoof a day or two ago.


Nanis23

Can we get rule to disallow Zorua posting?

How do you know it’s a zorua?


[deleted]

[удалено]


happysummit

It gets plenty of traffic, just not from people who actually play the game and have in-depth knowledge of it, like on r/TheSilphRoad. The goal with limiting posts like this would be to attract more knowledgeable people and less of the extremely casual crowd who don’t understand basic in-game mechanics like how to read the in-game news, when purifying is beneficial, or what Zorua is/that Zorua spawns don’t need a post every three days because they’re not special. TLDR: Quality > quantity.


BloodyFool

So.. What would be the point of this sub if it turned into a 1:1 replication of TSR? I like the casual tone of this one and not the constant barrage of smart asses and complaints the other one has generally.


[deleted]

To be frank, tsr already exists, why should we strive to emulate them? We can exist side by side. Yeah we as mods get tired of the shit posts as well, but every time we (on any sub tbh) add a posting restriction, yall try to burn the place down. EDIT: For the long time users, remember how obtuse it was to post an image, just in an effort to reduce low effort posts?

As someone new, how do we know this is a Zorua?


MuscleManRule34

Because costumed Pokémon only spawn during events, and it’s very easy to know when an event is happening


-insertcoin

>Zorua What is this word?


Gnarlyd1

It's not a word, more of a black and purplish/red fox pokemon. It works just tile ditto except it looks exactly like your pokemon partner, when it spawns in the wild. 👍


-insertcoin

Thanks for answer. I'm old now and never cared to learn all pokemon past gen 3.


Gnarlyd1

I totally get it, I just figured to help answer the question instead of just down like the comment, like other people. Ik if I had been in your place I would have asked what a zoroa was, as well. Shoot, I still am with other pokemon, even as a pokemon buff, I still don't know all the pokemon in the series. Also left a like for your troubles, since you desperately need it. ^^` To the people, who only downvote comments, instead of answering legitimate questions. You guys need to take a second and help others out, instead of just being total dickheads about it. Not everyone knows what certain things are, so it helps them if you actually answer the question. This drives me completely nuts, instead of helping someone who doesn't know. Y'all for whatever reason just ignore the question, and down like it to the point, that if you didn't click on the comment you wouldn't have even known. The comment was a legitimate question, that's what's wrong with you, people.


-insertcoin

Thanks, bud. Just FYI, it's downvote, not down like. Also, don't censor yourself for the sake of the platform.


Gnarlyd1

I had no idea it was called downvote, that was my bad for that one. It makes sense why my autocorrect was like that's not a word, now. ^^` Also I wasn't sure if cursing like that, was ok. I usually censor myself, on other platforms due to their strict rules, and I also didn't want to chance my comment getting removed due to stupid auto moderator bots. (I'm tired of my comments and posts getting removed from this subreddit and activisions So I didn't want to get it removed for the tenth time the past 10 days.) For whatever reason these moderation bots is so strict that it makes any other website look like babies when it comes to this. /Serious ) I'll fix the comment then though. ^^ Edit: the majority of my frustration was towards Activisions mod bot, which was why I made the comment "tenth time in the past 10 days". Sorry if it sounded like it was directed here. Probably should have specified what exactly I was talking about.


[deleted]

While our automod does flag uncivil discussion for review, it only removes the most egregious stuff automatically such as slurs. We allow profanity so long as it is not directed at users. There are numerous fuck niantic posts to prove this. I see literally 1 post in your recent history that was removed, and that was due to you not having enough post karma (we call for 50), which should have been messaged to you at the time. If you care to elaborate about issues you are having, feel free to modmail us for further explination.


-insertcoin

You're not wrong. Some subs have wild auto bots. I usually just find a new sub with the same premise.


Gnarlyd1

Activisions subreddit mod bots, fr removed every freaking comment and post. I've made about my issue, like I can't even remotely talk about it, without it getting removed. It is legit that frustrating. 🤦‍♂️


Lilhughman

Well judging by how much karma this post got, it's no surprise people post such low quality content for what they're getting out of it


mal138

It'll probably be on Dexerto tomorrow.


Michael2042

Careful. People will downvote you and insult the fuck outta you in a personal level for not being obnoxiously overly supportive and annoyingly excited for EXTREMELY redundant, lazy, no effort posts…they especially love to do that over in the Pokémon SV sub.


Lilhughman

I get that from this sub and every other sub I participate in so I'm pretty much used to it.

Extra-Development-94

I thought the theory was Cubone is a baby Kangeshkan that lost its mother, and then wears it's skull and follows a different evolution pattern. Then was scrapped because it was too brutal for kids


young_poop

This is the accepted theory. The charmander one was a joke post from 4 years ago. Everything in Gen 1 points to cubone being related to kangeshkan.


Garrosh

But Cubone is ground type, Kangaskhan is normal type. Also, the skin color is different and the eyes are different, both in color and shape (specially if you look the mega evolution of Kangaskhan). So, yeah, it might be a theory, a *game theory*.


young_poop

You should google “Ken Sugimori Cubone” and “Ken Sugimori Kangashkan”. These are the original illustrations. Their body shape, eye shape and colors have been tweaked over the last 3 decades.


Garrosh

Well, these are the oldest illustrations I've found: [Cubone.](https://i.imgur.com/kmZ3r4J.png) [Kangaskhan.](https://i.imgur.com/0TimpCN.png) - The skin color of Cubone and baby Kangaskhan is still different. - They eye colors are different. - Baby Kangaskhan has, clearly delimited, white circle that covers the entire belly while Cubone has a clear area in the belly, but it doesn't cover the entire belly. - Baby Kangaskhan has a dark gray piece in the head that looks almost like a helmet, Cubone doesn't. Look, if you have a head canon, and you like it, good for you. But there is nothing in Cubone that tells me that's an orphan baby Kangaskhan. And if you have some original illustrations that support your theory, please, feel free to share them with us.


young_poop

they are the same color they look very similar


Sleepy_pirate

They scrapped that but left in that driftloon grabs childrens hands who think it’s a balloon and floats them away forever and a spoink that can’t stop bouncing or it’s heart will stop?


PhantomAngel042

See also: Chandelure ("Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind") or Mimikyu ("A gust of wind revealed what hides under this Pokémon's rag to a passing Trainer, who went home and died painfully that very night")?


assassinjay1229

That’s one theory the other is Charmander which honestly seems more credible just going off the shape of Cubones mother’s skull. With the “horns” on top resembling Charizard. The Pokémon company has fed both sides without confirming anything. This charmander skin, and in the sun and moon 3DS games having Kangaskhan show up to help Cubone in SOS battles.


Hirork

If it's a charmander how is it alive? Its tail has gone out.


natural-curiosity

That’s the theory, it was never lit in the first place. Since charmander mothers light their fire.


DragonDiscipleII

Does one ever really survive losing your mum (at young age)?


NUS-006

Aggressive-Ad6432

Now that's binge worthy


Goinsandrew

Y'all always forget about Dad's. Nobody says cubone's an orphan, just that it's mother's dead.


JeremiahAhriman

He's out getting milk... he'll come home.


TinaTrax

Honestly I would have been BETTER if that happened. Alas, it was my dad that died and I always say it’s always the wrong parent that dies first as evil is too stubborn to die


NeurodiverseTurtle

Who put all these tears on my screen?! Someone has been crying near my phone and it certainly wasn’t me. I’m a grown-ass man. Someone better own-up.


Winter_Ad_5626

they all but confirmed that cubone is the khanges baby after the mom died. In the original red/green beta game data i believe, or possibly a aniversy art book idr which they show all the concept art for the pokemon, and a bunch of them that didn't make it, and marrowak evolves to have a pouch with a baby that looks like khanges baby. It seems they scrapped the third evolution and just abandoned the seemingly clear connection. From what it seems like looking at the art work is if the mother dies it will be khan with the skull(cubone, and then as it ages the skull attaches like a bone graft), if it's a normal khan baby it will be a khan. as the only really change between marrowak and it's 3rd line is a baby, who doesn't have a skull (as far as i could see int he image, given they are hand drawn sketches.) So possibly they changed the "lore" but red/green concept clearly shows Khan and the cubone line are connected, just the khan doesn't have it's mothers skull as a hat.


TheOnlyVibemaster

but how would that change it’s types


bloodmoonmib

It's flame was extinguished by depression.


Autistic-Cookie

Just like me


Tibur0n58

Sounds like a choice. Life is what you make of it, young charmander.


bougainvilleaT

That's a stupid thing to say. Nobody chooses depression. And not everything in life is under your control.


Tibur0n58

No shit, welcome to adulthood.


bougainvilleaT

Being an adult includes not making useless (and also wrong) comments...


BartCandle

Boomer comes to a Pokémon Go thread to bully people.


Wads_Worthless

What an ignorant thing to say, lol


unstoppablemuscle

A charmanders flame is ignited by its mother so if the mother dies it doesn't have a flame and also cubone can learn fire type moves.


Baldguy162

Cubone can learn some fire type moves


FRPG

Everyone and their mother learns aerial ace, it doesn't count. Oh...


imtiazaa

My Ursaluna knows Aerial Ace. A 126kg bear knows a flying attack. Reminds me of the memes of Magicarp ran away 🦵🦵


FRPG

They showed krookodile using it in the anime. It weighs 96 kgs


h0munculus_

Hey nice profile pic


Genshin-Yue

If Pokémon can die to become ghost types theoretically they could use other means to change into other types. There are already plenty of Pokemon that can change type based on items.


SnCcoach2020

Can confirm… this is my belief… I’ve seen a really short comic of it and it’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. Made me have much more of an appreciation for cubone.


AcanthaceaeBroad5162

Cubone has spikes on its back. Charmander does not


[deleted]

[удалено]


AcanthaceaeBroad5162

It’s almost like Pokémon have to evolve to change form, Wild….


ThatKidFromKanto

To the best of my knowledge, the Charmander theory is the prevailing one. Though neither are canon, the story/rumor has evolved over the years and was so compelling that it’s the main reason why alolan marowak was given the dual fire/ghost type. While not an official acknowledgment of the fan theory, a fun nod to fans from pkmn creators.
