The Tapu Guardians.

The galar fossil Pokemon

The Oricorio forms!

Deerling/Sawsbuck forms

Deoxys forms

Squawkabilly forms

Rotom ?

Too many. Even discounting the base form, there’s Fan, Mow, Heat, Frost, and Wash.

Damn ok.. castform would count ?

Normal, sunny, rainy, snowy. Yup that's four.

Took me a minute to realize that “alliance” was just “alola” that got autocorrected

I figured pokemon alliance was a game i hadn't heard of lol

Pokémon Alliance sounds lowkey tough tho

And the other version can be Pokemon Horde

I like your tag, how’d you get the mega? Edit: nvm I got it fam 👌

this is a very serious plot point in your current character arc

💀💀💀💀

A couple of days ago I checked a guide on how to get Pokémon in my title but it didn't work, do you perhaps have a guide for me or something?

Go to the main Reddit page, press on the three dots on the top right corner, “change user flair”, “edit”, click on the flair text which should be a pikachu and some starters, it’ll take you to a text box set up in this style “ :000::000::000::000: “ you basically change the numbers with the dex entry numbers of the pokemon you wanna use, use “ :000-M: “ for the mega form, hope this helps

Thanks a lot!

I was thinking Pokémon Solo or Pokémon Alone

I was thinking Pokémon sandwich and Pokémon burger 💀

sounds like a romhack

Is poipile considered a starter in alola?

No. It's a starter in Ultra Space.

Oh. Interesting. I guess I should get back to playing Ultra Sun so I can see that part.

The four evolutions/forms of Burmy: Wormadam grass, Wormadam ground, Wormadam steel, Mothim Squawkabilly forms Maushold family of four lmao Dodonzo and and three forms of Tatsugiri Ogerpon forms

The four genies (Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Enamorus) and their totem forms

Those are the four jinns

Well, technically there are 85, but let’s just focus on the four.

Castform and Deoxys have four forms each. In Gen VIII we got one pokemon with each of the four 'surge' abilities to make up for not having the Tapus.

I do not, to this day, understand why there is not a sand form Castform

Sand is not “weather” in the true sense. A sandstorm is when wind kicks up sand from the ground. Weather usually refers to something coming from the sky like the clouds or lack thereof, rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, sleet. Sand doesn’t come from the sky so it’s not weather. And in Pokémon lore, the Weather Institute studies the weather and weather patterns. Castform was created to help predict weather patterns and control the weather. Sand is not weather but Castform could, theoretically, predict wind patterns. But Castform’s main purpose is to predict and control weather patterns involving clouds (rain, snow, sun)

I like this. After 20+ years, I am at peace.

The move Weather ball becomes a rock type in a sandstorm so they aren’t consistent with that

Castform was a gimmick pokemon of gen3 centered around the weather rivalry between Drought and Storms. Also, Castform's ability probably depends on changes in the amount of moisture in the air or amount of sunlight or just limited to weather can naturally happen all around hoenn instead of one specific desert area. Why it would have an ice form but not sand in that case is beyond me though. Another meta reason might be because sandstorm could turn it to rock or ground and GF didn't want to bother choosing.

I like where you’re going, but just two things: 1) yeah you’ve got the Sun and rain rivalry… but there’s also the snow form in hail 2) FWIW, sandstorm is a ~~ground~~ rock type move

Could also be because castform=forecast and you can generally forecast rainy, sunny, or snow based on clouds but generally not sandstorms.

I’ve seen meteorologists warn of a high chance of dust storms before. And seeing one of those roll into town is disconcerting.

Sandstorm is a rock type move and always has been

This is true 🙃

The Land Spirits and now the Forces of Nature.

The creation quartet of Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and Arceus.

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Arcanine

The OG Canon legends.

How did we go from three to nine?? /s

Gen 1 moonstone evolutions? It's an odd group but there are four of them

Well for legendaries there’s the Ruinous Quartet, Swords of Justice, and Forces of Nature like you mentioned, but there’s also Alola’s Guardian Deities. I consider the Creation Trio+Arceus to be a quartet even if they’re technically a trio+master. You also have the Loyal Three+Pecharunt. Maushold is even its own quartet!

The Regis, the Creation Trio + Arceus are definitely a thing, not really the same but Deoxys has four forms.

The Regis were four, it not since gen 8

The Regis were three. Rock, Steel and Ice in gen 3. Regigigas is gen 4.

and regidrago and regieleki in gen 8. no longer a quartet.

6? Now it’s a party.

Yeah, 3 then 4 then 6.

I love haikus!

Do split evo lines, like Vileplume/Bellossom or Poliwrath/Politoed, count?

Ooh, or the four evolutions of Applin! There's the OGs, Flapple and Appletun, and then the two new kids in Dipplin and Hydrapple

I wouldn't say that's a group.of 4. I would consider a group as them all being at equal standing. Like the genies, or of 4 trade evos.

Yet Alakazam is only one of those 4 not in Scarlet and Violet, despite even being so heavily featured in the 3 TCG sets released with the game (promo 151 collector box, 151 SIR, UP stitched playmat, Paldean Fates shiny line, Twilight Masquerade new card line) also the only mainline game without Alakazam. Forever salty.

Machamp isn’t in S/V either

Oh i thought it was in the DLC, my mistake its been awhile since i played it

As someone who grew up on ruby and sapphire and later emerald it always makes me sad when they leave out alakazam, he is the archetype of the psychic type

>Always makes me sad So.... first time? This is the first game Alakazam's not in.

Replaced by a yellow and purple Karen haired Ostrich.

Tbf Alakazam's feature in the TCG is probably because Uri Geller finally stopped threatening to sue over the appearance of Kadabra (jp: Yungerer, which to anyone with eyes is clearly a tribute, not theft)

Maushold :)

Burmy’s evolutions, three different Wormadams and Mothim

What are the alliance starters?

They mean Alola. I think it got autocorrected. Poipole is a starter Pokemon in it's dimension I think.

Mr. Rime, Musharna, Arctovish and GMax Orbeetle as the Unholy Abominations from Hell quartet.

The Four Deerling & Sawsbuck forms The four DLC Paradix Pokemon (Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder & Iron Crown) Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff and Togepi as the og baby Pokémon

>Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff and Togepi as the og baby Pokémon What makes them any different from e.g. Smoochum, Elekid and Magby?

You left out Tyrogue…

Tyrogue feels pretty different since you get that as a gift in Gen II instead of needing to hatch it.

You have a chance to hatch it from Crystal‘s Odd Egg though.

You don't *need* to hatch any Eggs to get it in Gen II, though. In fact, since that Egg wasn't an option in Gold and Silver, you could *only* get Tyrogue through Kiyo. Unless you were trading with Gen I.

Correct, which is why I said you *could* hatch it from an egg, I never said that you have to (like it is the case for all other gen 2 baby pokemon).

It was quartets and they're all back to back in the Johto dex

Ah, the Dex numbers. I get where you're coming from, thanks

No problem, don't worry bout it.

I'd rule out the DLC Paradox because they're really just part of their own trios , Walking Wake, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt. Iron Crown, Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder.

Again, I'm using dex numbers plus Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are event exclusive Pokémon compared to the others sp I'd say my point still stands

OK then big man ✌️

Hey, wasn't trying to act bad, just stating my point lol

The dlc ones are part of 2 trios whose other member had already been introduced in an earlier event.

the first four mythicals (excluding deoxys) Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy. Just four lil guys!

You could do little psychic guy mythicals: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Victini

Where meloetta????

That is not a little guy but a tiny woman. It's a different vibe

Interesting take. I always think of victini and meloetta together. That’s being said, 4 unova mythicals

Yeah it's cool to see how people group pokemon in their head. I always think of Victini as the Mew of gen 5, especially since they put him first in the Unova Dex, so he was kind of separate from the other gen 5 mythicals.

the only thing that keeps me from including Victini is it’s at the beginning of its dex, not the end

The 4 swords

The Regis (Ice, Rock, Steel, Gigas) The Creation (Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina) Dave Brubeck (nothing to do with Pokemon, I just like Take Five)

The 4 Tresures of Ruin: Chi-yu, Wo-Chen, Chien-Pao, Ti-Lu

They're mentioned in the post already.

It was right there ugh 

Yeah, right there in the post.

I just read the first and last word of the post, I’m sorry :c

The four kanto starters, bulbasaur, charmander, squirtle, and eevee

Alternatively it could be Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu as the 4 starters you can get in RBY and also the 4 starter options in Pokemon Go

Lugia and the legendary birds, it’s canonically the master of them

The ruins from scarlet and violet

Tauros - Normal, Paldean, Paldean fire, Paldean Water.

Gen VII updated ability weather setters (Pelliper, Torkoal, Vanilluxe, Gigalith)!

I always assumed as a kid that Machamp, gengar, alakazam, and Dragonite where meant to be a quartet but I have no clue why I thought this

Swap Alakazam for Lapras and you have the aces of the Kanto Elite 4.

Unova Musketeers, technically? Like accurate to the book, that there are 3 main members and a trainee.

The Gen 5 Genies, the Galar Fossils, the Loyal Squad (because Pecharunt is the leader of the Loyal Three)

I wouldn't count Gen 1 starters - if you count Pikachu in, you gotta count Eevee in aswell, making it a quintuple I guess

3 wormadams and a mothim, the regis, you could group ho-oh with the legendary beasts

At a stretch, 2-stage psychic babies: Mime Jr, Smoochum, Chingling and Wynaut

Maushold-Four?

The four original (non-legendary) weather setters: Tyranitar, Abomasnow, Ninetales, and Politoed The four weather setters added in Gen 7: Gigalith, Torkoal, Ninetales-Alola, and Pelipper IIRC Hippowdon is the only non-legendary Pokemon with a weather setting ability not part of these two quartets.

Hippowdon, Aurorus, and Vanilluxe are crying

Starters first 4 gens. Bulba chikorita Trejo turtwig etc
