Awethan EX12 I’ve been replying to all these comments, since he has sword and he gives the apple u get from the opposite game that will get him sweet apple which is what you use to evolve appletun, he needs sour apple.
Lion Lance no your wrong he gives the sour apple or what ever in sword and the sweet apple in shield I played both I know flapple is sword appletun is shield did you play the games
STORY OF THE KING there was a king, with his guard Raphael, his knight Sailor Mars, and his assassin Watermelone. Greed, a servant of the king, planned to overthrow the king by summoning a dragon. He failed in this plan, but tried to overthrow him anyway with the help of Lucy. In the battle, the kings advisor and friend ESKETIT was killed by a rebel named Milo. The king eventually grew up and had Greed captured and put to slavery. Greed now fights alongside the king.
Yo Thamill, no shade but I've been feeling pretty nervous for you. Maybe try to play when you're more conscious because the sleep drunk Thamill doesn't strategize as much as awake Thamill from what I've been seeing. I also feel like you should take some time to grind. Your team is hella underleved, you've been able to finesse it with Raphael and Sailor Mars so far but even Raphael your highest leveled Pokemon, almost died in there. Train up the current members and the new members so that you can start using them in gym battles. There are some encounters you haven't gotten yet from fishing spots, one in Hulbury and a few in Motostoke because it has more than one. Lucy doesn't learn anymore moves by level up, you can evolve her by going back to that guy in hammerlocke that wants to give her to his girl. He'll give her back with the item that you need to evolve her.(don't worry the evolutions are version exclusive so you won't get the muffin) Please stock back up on balls and healing items lmao one hyper potion isn't gonna cut it. Last but not least, you can leave right before the gym battle by walking back when you're in that hallway to heal up/buy potions. That's all, thanks for killing the daily uploads, they always make my day, 775k's on the horizon! :D
I agree. He only uses half the team most of the time, doesn't even check if he can use the moves the rest have lol. Also he only had one healing item for this battle. He could have quit the challenge and bought more, but oh well I prefer battles without healing anyways.
@@NippleTechnology-cc8bg I'm all for adding challenge, but only if he establishes the rules before the battles. For example, no healing items during the battle. But if he's doing things clumsily on purpose (which I don't think he is, but if he was) then it's almost like lying to the audience and at the same time making him look like he's really bad at the game.
Ttar evolve Lucy!!!! Go to the left of Raihan's gym where there's a Poké center and a guy who wants an applin, who will give you a tart/sweet apple and ur applin back
@@joshuakim6475 from what i understand then its not even ttar who got himself the game, it got sent to him (at least thats what i think happend to the sun game as it seems to be a specific person/group of people who is doing them) he stated that some got mad that he lost the ds with sun extreme. i would love to play these games but im as dumb as a rock when it comes to modding
I'm surprised none of us are getting on his ass for not grinding to level with the Gym Leaders. Anyways, love the new ep! I really hope he gets the proper rest he deserves!!
he growing overconfident because none of his members are dying. i hope fifth gym knocks him to his place with killing his currently best sweeper, keldeo (its only for the best.)
1. Before the start of next episode buy some potions and pokeballs, man. youre gonna need them :D 2. Zacian and Zamazenta are not able to dynamax, but both have moves that deal double damage to dynamax pokemon 3. Grind up man. Youre lucky so far, but the trainers are only going to be stronger and stronger. If wild pokemon cant level you up do some raids and gain xp candies.
You TTar, you should give king breaking swipe again, I'm not sure, but considering every attack king does hits twice, I think it will then lower the oponent's attack by two stages in one turn. Just go to a move relearner in the pokemon center
Neohydra64 no, because since he has sword version, he will give the apple for the opposite game, aka Lucy would become appletun. He wants flapple so he needs sour apple, which he can find in the wild area.
Ran Kichi fr I was mad when he switched out keldeo when he had enough boosts to one shot terrakion and not risk Raphael’s death (mans got lucky with 1 hp no brim) and then he could’ve switched out for zamazenta
Ttar: I have sailor mars with photon geyser thats the only pokemon that can hurt her Watermelone with flying press: am i a joke to you (flying press is half Fighting half flying)
Jaydon 0054 he will give sweet apple, that’s for appletun. He wants sour apple. He always gives the item from the opposite game, you find sour apple in sword so he would give sweet apple.
Bro I’ve been watching ttar for YEARS and this is honestly one of my favourite series of all time. But I was also wondering why the dialogue isn’t rlly different from the real game. How come?
The dialogue in the Alpha Extreme didn't really change until Norman either, so it'll probably start getting all 'extreme' in the next few episodes. Also, the Dialogue already started changing last episode, but a slight difference.
In my opinion, Bea (I pronounce her name like the word “Bee”) is my favorite Galarian gym leader. When I went through the normal game, she was a point where I struggled to win. That made the first battle with her much more fun than other gym leaders to me.
I know I had the same experience with allister he killed all my team expect for my last pokemon Also if you want to know what’s under his mask keep reading He looks like a normal kid under the mask
Don’t forget to cook at your camp from time to time to build relationship with your party! When Pokémon like you enough they will have a higher crit chance because they are looking to be praised. Or even have the chance to survive on 1 HP when they would have fainted. Basically a free focus sash!
TTAR!! giving Lucy to the kid in Hammerlocke who wanted an applin. there will be a short cutscene, and afterwards, the kid will give it back, and also give you the item to evolve it
I Had a thought and I came up with the idea that king is still the small meltan we know and love. Just that melemetal's body is like an exoskeletal power suit/ mecha and that our little king is piloting/controlling it AKA: The King's Ancient Weapon. Which was lost, but has now reunited with it XD
Ttar doesn’t make subscriber joke about his number in like so many episodes* My Brain: relaxes. Ttar making a joke in this episode* My brain: reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ttar, once you complete the gym challenge you can leave to heal up before fighting the gym. You really need to start doing that. Also, if you pull out of the gym challenge part way through, I believe you can battle the trainer's again.

GO GO TTAR!

Thx, this will help me with some of the story I'm making
Woah, nice story
Whats is this ?
The plot of 7 deadly sins ?
i luf these
When will somebody tell him that he could evolve Lucy by talking to the same guy that was asking for an Applin-
He would get an appletun not a flapple because in sword he gives him a sweet apple in sword not a sour apple
Robert Blochstein Nope other way around. Sour Apple is the one in sword.
Robert Blochstein my guy you got it backwards lmao
We've been commenting since last episode-
No, because since he’s on sword so he will give him sweet apple, he needs sour apple for flapple he doesn’t want appletun.
Ttar needs to start buying potions cause otherwise someone like king dying
ik and he lives in my hometown lol
"Those trainers are sooo strong!"
*Goes into the boss fight without potions*

just wait until he loses like 4 pokemon

Yo twang talk with the dude at hammerlock with Lucy. He’ll give her back and a way to evolve Lucy. Also try out xenoblade during your free time.
Neohydra64 no, because since he has sword version, he will give the apple for the opposite game, aka Lucy would become appletun. He wants flapple so he needs sour apple, which he can find in the wild area.

Everybody : switch in something with psychic moves
Ttar: uses no retreat on keldeo
to be fair he really could've swept her entire team with keldeo. he plays really risky which can be funny, but he really should pay more attention 😂😂
Ran Kichi fr I was mad when he switched out keldeo when he had enough boosts to one shot terrakion and not risk Raphael’s death (mans got lucky with 1 hp no brim) and then he could’ve switched out for zamazenta
There also should be a fishing encounter in Motostoke :)
