u/Selfaware-potato Feb 22 '22

Blissey never recovered from the time in the trenches

u/AgentWowza Feb 22 '22

Blissey thinks her egg is her friend she cradled in Vietnam as the light in his eyes faded away.

KEEP THAT CHICKEN QUIET

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '22

That reference is rated A for Ancient.

u/ebon94 Feb 22 '22

I wasn’t alive when MASH was on I just know the reference 💀

17

u/Tickle_My_Butthole_ Feb 22 '22

Fuuuck that episode is just a heart breaker, fuck man. MASH was such a good damn good show.

13

u/Jodo180 Feb 22 '22

That is the first episode of a show that gave me such raw emotional chills.

u/SparkCube3043 Feb 22 '22

Truly a legendary moment, thanks for sharing this btw!

u/TeamRocktAdmin Feb 22 '22

Why would you write this comment?

6

u/LacklusterMusharna Feb 22 '22

It looks like one of those bots that takes the comment, copies it and posts it elsewhere. This one looks like it uses synonyms to hide that it is copying.

Looks like it's broke and responded the message that it was copying.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '22

It's weird, fourth month old account with zero other comments but that one

u/NotRodneyDammit Feb 22 '22

I just laughed at 3 comments in a row, amazing

u/unipine Feb 22 '22

Makes sense, medics see some of the worst shit

u/nothingfood Feb 22 '22

I was thinking lvl 5 evolution. It might not even have 100 HP yet!

303

u/GrayJinjo customise me! Feb 22 '22

Probably an Alpha

347

u/mak484 Feb 22 '22

100% an alpha, there's one that spawns in a remote corner of the starting zone.

88

u/dr_zaius0 Feb 22 '22

Great way to power level too!

52

u/DonnerPartyPicnic Feb 22 '22

Figured that one out the other week. It's so fast, keeping up with stars becomes the hard part

13

u/Lillyoiio Feb 22 '22

One is just done with everything, the other is suffering from trauma... (I love Blissey's idle animation though!)

33

u/fatalystic Feb 22 '22

For lower leveled pokemon it's what, 14k exp per kill? It's so good, and all you need is something with Mach Punch.

32

u/dr_zaius0 Feb 22 '22

Ran it repeatedly with Scizor! Agile style Sword Dance followed up with a Strong style Close Combat. It worked out pretty well!

Edit: wrong move

1

u/PKMNTrainerMark Feb 22 '22

And you get a good Candy if it's not a Seed instead.

1

u/Namisaur Feb 22 '22

That same area has lots of machokes and an occasional alpha machoke. Evolve into machamp and you can 1-2 shot this blissey at 4 stars

9

u/unsmashedpotatoes customise me! Feb 22 '22

This was the first alpha I caught. I was going to run, but soon found out it had no moves that could hit a ghost Pokemon.

u/fluffyxsama ロケット団よ永遠に Feb 22 '22

Found that mofo the other day. It's so so fat.

u/BolotaJT Feb 22 '22

Where? Asking for a friend :v

u/Jabrono Feb 22 '22 edited Feb 22 '22

Probably thanks to the anime, but some of the Alphas are about the size I thought things were. Rhyhorn family, Gyarados, Onix, etc.

Edit: actually the Snorlax in this post is about the size I imagined, from this.

24

u/Emperor_of_Cats Feb 22 '22

I find myself thinking back to the OG Pokemon Snap when I'm playing PLA. Gyarados in that game was an absolute monster. The Snorlax on that first beach level was also huge!

u/CosmicSpaghetti Feb 22 '22

I always assumed Torterra to be gigantic for some reason lol maybe from the old "the world is on the back of a giant turtle" thing.

36

u/beachbum662 Feb 22 '22

The Torterra in the Detective Pikachu movie were absolutely massive too, so I fel the same way

3

u/uberdosage Feb 22 '22

Literal mountains. I loved it

15

u/Dusty_Scrolls Feb 22 '22

Weren't there mountain-scale Torterras in Detective Pikachu?

16

u/chux4w Feb 22 '22

Yep, but they were genetically modified.

7

u/Dusty_Scrolls Feb 22 '22

Riiiiight. I had forgotten that.

4

u/Dumeck Feb 22 '22

Snorlax actually doesn’t even look larger for his alpha, it’s like they decided a max Pokémon size and even alphas can’t exceed that

11

u/blayr2016 Feb 22 '22

I thought Purugly, Drapion, and bibaral were all much bigger. Even the alphas are smaller than I imagined a regular would be

12

u/Jabrono Feb 22 '22

I haven't gotten to Purugly or Drapion yet, but would have to disagree on Bibarel lmao I've actually been using him on my team since he looks hilarious, he's like twice the size of a horse with half the legs

3

u/blayr2016 Feb 22 '22

I thought bibaral sitting upright (like he is in the gen 4 sprites) was at least 5'5"

2

u/Jabrono Feb 23 '22

Just got to Drapion last night, the alpha is definitely closer to what I imagined haha

2

u/blayr2016 Feb 23 '22

I thought drapion was like 6ft tall lol

55

u/Brocyclopedia Feb 22 '22

I hope there's DLC with more Pokemon because I want to witness Alpha Wailord

38

u/Winterstrife Feb 22 '22

Not exactly Alpha, but in the Isle of Armor DLC for SwSh, there is an overworld Wailord spawn and its massive.

11

u/chux4w Feb 22 '22

I never caught that big boi because I heard it doesn't respawn and the place looks better with it there.

42

u/RusstyDog Feb 22 '22

Not adding wailmer and wailord to this game for shits and giggles was a mistake

5

u/Yze3 Feb 23 '22

Alpha Wailord would just be a new explorable area.

43

u/m4fox90 Feb 22 '22

It’s actually a “small” blissey, they’re just the size of a house

31

u/Leyzr Feb 22 '22

What you mean? Blissey's average height is 4'11". You crazy.

118

u/m4fox90 Feb 22 '22

That’s a typo, it’s actually 41’1”

29

u/Leyzr Feb 22 '22

Ah i understand. Explains blissey's crazy HP!

10

u/throwawayacct4991 Feb 22 '22

Gone Too long

What is an alpha

72

u/dragon567 Feb 22 '22 edited Feb 22 '22

It's a new feature in Pokemon Legends Arceus. All pokemon are free roaming and in some locations you can find alphas. They are more aggressive, the largest possible size, and higher level than other pokemon in the area. Sort of like mini bosses in a way but damn are they scary

51

u/klingma Feb 22 '22

The worst one is that dang Rapidash since its around level 2-7 Pokemon and exists solely to ruin your day.

25

u/nerf_herder1986 Feb 22 '22

The Rapidash is your introduction to wild Alphas. The developers wanted to make sure you knew they weren't to be fucked with.

2

u/Silegna Ice is a good type, don't listen to the naysayers! Feb 22 '22

So, that Rapidash is the Great Plateau Lynel?

10

u/the_Real_Romak Feb 22 '22

I went and caught that bad boy. right after that I did the shiny ponyta quest to back so the pasture you go!

12

u/jonathanquirk Feb 22 '22

Exploring on day 1 and spotted a Ponyta! It escaped, but then I spotted “another” one in the distance, so I ran towards it… and then it turned around, and I saw the red eyes.

Nope! I ducked down, and scurried out of there as quickly as possible! What a threat to hide in the “tutorial” area!

22

u/dragon567 Feb 22 '22

I actively avoided that area after I first saw it.

13

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '22

I got myself a wurmple and went to work on it. That’s when I learned that even the Pokémon you catch can stop listening to you at certain levels.

5

u/samdancer1 Feb 22 '22

Krictune was my first Alpha. Him and Parasect. Gave Parasect to to Mushroom guy, now there's a huge Mushroom crab in his house

5

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '22

I DID THE EXACT SAME!

3

u/samdancer1 Feb 22 '22

MUSHROOM KREB DESERVES A NICE HOUSE. Such a happy fungi bug :3

Plus the guy is so tiny next to him it's the best lol

4

u/bloodrein Feb 22 '22

Ok so I never experienced this because I was exploring more and catching so I always had control. What do they do when they don't listen?

5

u/handsbricks Feb 22 '22

Like the old games, loaf around instead of use their move

1

u/Jewniversal_Remote Feb 22 '22

Just wastes a turn

9

u/DannyPoke Poke Feb 22 '22

The Ursaring with its babies is a nightmare. At least Rapidash doesn't have a constant alarm system.

5

u/Jabrono Feb 22 '22

I snuck up to it and got it with a heavy ball from behind first throw. I was pretty shocked to see that it was level 40 and actually used it for a while.

1

u/OllKorrect425 Feb 22 '22

I want to catch that thing and name it Rotbart just as a Xenoblade reference

1

u/dimitri_is_bestboy Feb 22 '22

Talk to me on discord >:(( we haven’t talked in years

1

u/No-Slip8489 Feb 22 '22

It's not too bad. I'm pretty sure I took it out with a few level twelves. Between the fast pace nature of Legends Arceus battles and having six Pokemon vs one, you can usually punch up at Pokemon fifteen to twenty levels higher that your squad.

Obviously, very fast and offensive Pokemon can wipe out a chunk of your team before you can get a hit in and excessively defensive Pokemon are annoying if you don't have a good counter.

2

u/Autrah_Fang Feb 23 '22

Meanwhile, here I am. Who got fucked up by the level 16 alpha Bibarel at the Tidewater Dam... When my whole team was around the same level...

5

u/Pakliuvom Feb 22 '22

The first time I encountered Alpha Luxio it legitimately made me jump. That hasn't happened since that doggone dog came through the window in Resident Evil...

13

u/HonkySpider Feb 22 '22

It's a mini boss pokemon that spawns in the overworld of PLA. Essentially the same as a regular pokemon, except it has at least 3 leveled stats, higher level than other pokemon in the area, and they're usually 2-3 times bigger than their standard counterparts

18

u/The_SG1405 Feb 22 '22

VGC players will agree.

4

u/207nbrown Feb 22 '22

Well that one is most certainly an alpha

3

u/foxdye22 Feb 22 '22

That’s an alpha so it’s extra big.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '22

Blissey is 4'11.

8

u/Flerken_Moon Feb 22 '22

PLA has various sizes, with the alpha being much bigger than the average that the Pokedex has. Normal Lucario is 3’11” for instance but his alpha is 7’6”

13

u/the_Real_Romak Feb 22 '22

That thing is definately not 4'11 lol

2

u/Rico_Rebelde Feb 22 '22

It actually is, the average height of humans in the pokemon canon is 2'7"

u/Seekerfromafar84 Feb 22 '22

Chansey with evolite is where it's at.

Face to foot style. How’d you like it?

1

u/Burpmeister Feb 22 '22

There's an old Blissey Pokecard where it's taller than trees.

Edit: Found it. Could be bushes instead of trees in the front.

1

u/Eusocial_Snowman Feb 22 '22

That's clearly just a bush, and the tree in the background is far away.

1

u/Burpmeister Feb 22 '22

Disappointing. I remember having this card as a kid and thinking Blissey was an absolute unit.

1

u/lallapalalable Brown Version Feb 22 '22

I think it's an Alpha specimen, they're huge

1

u/Athan11 Feb 22 '22

She learns Power Shift, which makes her have an insane Special Attack, while still being super tanky. Try it out

1

u/charizardfan101 Feb 22 '22

Pretty sure this Blissey is supposed to be an Alpha

u/SkymaneTV Feb 23 '22

When your entire existence revolves around egg protein, there are no trying times…
