Sejun Park once brought a Magmar to VGC Worlds and got 5th, so it can't be that bad, but then again it is Sejun Park and he does do amazing things with unconventional teams!

[@KrakatonMain]

My Magmar from my Gold Version team, "Goober" (derived from Magmar's Japanese name "Boober" yes I'm serious look on Serebii), is possibly the only of my eligible Pokémon from older games who I DIDN'T give an Eviolite. I ran him as a mixed attacker on my Sunny Day team that I used against Amarys. I was sad he didn't get to do more in that fight, but he still fought hard. I've been very happy to start learning from Wolfey, bc he thinks the same as I do: unpredictably is PARAMOUNT in winning a conflict. I've been hoping that one day, I might enter some competitive tournaments using my Pokémon. I've been replaying the whole series (not each individual version, mind you) and only have X, Sun, and the GameCube games left. I mixed up my gen 1-5 teams to make 5 unique teams for the Indigo Disk BB League members, and it was SO much more fun than if I'd just steamrolled with my Sword, BD, Legends, and Scarlet 'Mons who are already level 100. Counting together my teams from Red, Gold, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Diamond, HeartGold, Black 1 & 2, Sword, BrilliantDiamond, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet, I'm currently at... 78 unique team members? 56 of which are compatible with/in Scarlet. By the end, I'll have 96 (I'm getting 3 from each Game Cube game; I'm playing them with a friend) by the time I'm caught up. I want to someday enter a series of tournaments using ONLY these Pokémon; no others. I hate relying on legendaries because it just feels dumb and boring and lame and cringe. No, what I want is to make teams out of my own dudes, starting with a concept like "oh, I haven't done a Trick Room team yet" or "ah, now THIS has potential to be dumb and stupid >:) ", and then adjust each team to ACCOUNT for the meta, same as what Wolfey does here. Like, copying and pasting a team from someone else doesn't require any talent or skill. It's what I HATE about the TCG competitive scene. Seriously, I got back in at Battle Styles and dropped back out in Lost Origin bc Arceus VSTAR would NOT chill out. Like, what's the point of having so many options if you're just going to use the same thing as everyone else? Build your own team with your own hands and prove that you DESERVE to win. Prove that it was YOUR skill and YOUR Pokémon that seized victory. I know that I don't stand a chance, what with the only Legendary/Mythic from these teams being my "starter" Keldeo, "D'Artagnan", from Black 2. But I'm also VERY hard-headed. I know it's possible. I wanna stroll up and cause a huge upset when this random nobody with his team of seemingly mediocre picks strolls up, flattens the competition, and walks out. I want my opponents in future tournaments trying to play around the meta and "whatever that one guy is bringing" only for them to realize "... oh, this is a completely different team than last tournament, isn't it?" I want to be so much of an unpredictable storm of entropy that people start realizing that playing the meta is what causes them to lose to me. I wanna make everyone fear the mere CONCEPT of playing a meta team because "that one Trainer is gonna DESTROY me if I get paired up against him" I think that will be fun :)

What isn’t talked about is that Sejun Park’s Magmar had a illegal iv spread of 31 in every stat except Attack which isn’t possible to generate back in XD

That's interesting! What is the reason why that's impossible?

[@lOI0IOl962]

No one talks about it because nobody cares lol. His magmar couldve been green and it wouldn’t change the skill needed to place well lol

[@totalphantasm]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@av2279it’s a bit complicated, but it has to do with how Shadow Pokemon are generated in pokemon XD. From what I understand, all non-shadow pokemon have a fixed gender and a fixed nature, but they DONT have a fixed personality value, or PID(this is the magic number that creates all of the other components of a pokemon, like the nature and gender and abilities.) Now this means every time a non-shadow pokemon is “made” (generated for a team), it has to generate a PID and it’s IVs by making calls to the RNG seed. Basically what this means is the game creates some random number when you boot it up, and then this is put into a formula with a bunch of other variables like time since boot up, to produce a random number. If the game generates an invalid PID (I.e, the nature and gender do not match the fixed requirements) it will reject that PID then make a new one by calling to the RNG again. Once the PID is made, the game can then move on to the IVs, which are made the exact same way. There’s no rejection criteria for the IVs. Now, where this gets interesting, is that the calls to RNG have to happen sequentially. Once you make the call for the first pokemons PID, all subsequent calls for the IVs and PIDs for the rest of the team have to be made right then and there. Essentially, this means the possible PIDs and IVs of the entire enemy team are tied to the PID of the first pokemon. They have to be a possible sequence that follows that combination of RNG seed and PID. Think, for example, I have a formula X+t=Y, where X is some number you choose, and t is the amount of times you try to make a number. You choose X is 5, and you want to find the 3rd number made. That third number will always be 8. The PIDs are divided equally among possibilities. There’s 25 equally possible natures, and for pokemon with a 50/50 gender ratio there’s 2 possible genders. Because the non shadows are locked to 1 gender and 1 nature, that’s 1/25*1/2 of the total possible PIDs are going to be accepted. Because the shadow pokemon’s PID and IVs are going to be directly generated in sequence with one of those 2% of all possible sequences, that effectively means a shadow pokemon generated after one non shadow pokemon has access to only 2% of all possible gender, ability, and IV combinations of a typical pokemon generated in a normal game. This gets further reduced as more and more non shadow pokemon get generated before the shadow pokemon. If a shadow pokemon is the third to be generated and the 2nd pokemon is a different nature, then you only have 2% of that 2% of possibilities. And it gets even WORSE. All trainer pokemon in XD are NEUTRAL NATURES. Which means you only have access to 25% of the PIDs PERIOD., regardless of what pokemon is generated first. What this ALLLL culminates into, is that there is no possible input into any possible RNG seed that will contain a string of numbers which could result in the team the magmar is encountered in AND give the magmar those stats.
