>tfw I had 4 fairies in my Sun in-game team
They were all good though
>>32410490
I had 3 bugs. It was a nightmare trying to pass some of the challenges but I won't say I didn't have fun. I wish Golisopod was half as usable as Ribombee is.
>>32410533
I feel you. This was a great generation for Bugs and it's really hard not to use more than one in a single team.
>>32410569
The ridiculous Leech Life buff certainly helped. I have no idea what prompted that but it's welcome as hell.
Here's a fresh baked image from the latest drawthread.
best bug
hatching on and off for a shiny one
>>32410615
>tiny bug sized mitts
Adorable. I bet Ribombread has lots of pollen puff goodness baked into every biteā¢.
>>32410629
Don't give up! I managed to hatch one about a week ago, my first Masuda Method shiny. It's well worth the effort, shiny Ribombee is adorable. And it helps my singles and doubles Ribombees look distinct!
>>32410533
I had theee bugs too. Ribombee, Golisopod, and Vikavolt. What were yours?
>>32410648
I just get burned out after 2 boxes every time i go and hatch. If i keep going for two boxes every time i'll get it eventually, right
i made a shitty drawing for the mspaint threads back when they were still around
>>32410652
The exact same. I also used Aquarachnid for a while. I liked it, but I prefer to use Pokemon with a variety of coverage moves, so Golisopod wound up being a better fit for me.
>>32410615
Those gloves don't make sense. How is she grabbing the plate if she has no fingers?
>>32410659
What I do is I just farm up 18 eggs and leave them in the sauna with 10 hours worth of beans. Then just before I go to bed, and just after I get up, I hatch all the eggs and put in some more. If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll ride around and build up my egg stock during the day. It's a relatively low-maintenance way to never not be hatching eggs. Sooner or later that chance is going to go your way.
>>32410685
I'm using the magikarp method.
>>32410670
I don't know, but it's cute, and cute makes right!
>>32410694
>mfw seeing my Spirit Bomb request resurface
Neat.jpg
I've never used the Magikarp method myself so I can't vouch for its efficacy. I've also been playing since gen 1 and only encountered 4 shinies total, though, so my advice may be suspect in the first place.
>>32410669
Wow really? I had Araquanid for the early game too, but ended up dropping it for the reason that there were other mons I wanted to use.
>>32410877
Yeah, as cool as that OP Bubblebeam was I wasn't going to run both him and Golisopod. Well that I didn't, too, or I'm not sure I'd ever have beaten Kukui.
>>32411084
This thread has been very good for my Ribombee folder.
>mfw my dick would not fit in something less than a inch long
>>32411449
Do not sexualize the bee fly
>>32410472
I'm breeding Cutiefly right now.
>>32411449
Ribombee is for cute, not lewd!
>>32411449
Sexualizing bees is not hip.
>>32411449
tbf your dick probably would, anon.
>>32411493
I am black lol
>>32411480
I know that pixie.
>>32411511
lol, no.
>>32411511
not all racial stereotypes are true
>>32411480
Its Ribbon-bee!
>>32411524
My dick is still bigger than that thing.
You like Jazz-types?
>>32411660
I don't think Ribombee's "eyes" can close, and fuck >>32411667 for reminding us that Jerry Seinfeld exists.
>>32411699
you're taking pictures of cartoon bees a little too seriously pal.
>>32411699
>I don't think Ribombee's "eyes" can close
They close when it faints, it just has black eyelids unlike the yellow ones everyone draws it with
>Playing Sun, walking through Ula'ula Meadow
>Wondering who's going to be the 6th member of my team (was leaning on Dhelmise)
>Encounter a Ribombee while walking through the flowers
>Never thought much of Cutiefly or its evolution, so I decided to just harvest it for experience
>This little bug decides to wreck several of my PokƩmon
>Eventually kill it, but am thoroughly impressed
>Encounter another one
>It has a Modest nature and Shield Dust as its ability
>Name her "Zipper"
>Zipper proceeds to solo most of Po Town and rip every Dragon I encounter to shreds with little effort
And that's how this little cutie wormed her way into my heart.
>>32411780
I hope Zipper had Hidden Power Fire.
I didnt think anything could replace Bulbasaur as my favorite pokemon as that has been unchaged since Red/Blue. But then Ribombee came along.
>>32411981
Fixed
>>32411667
I'd watch Ribombee Movie.
>>32411900
I just checked, and her Hidden Power is Flying-type.
As far as weakness coverage goes, that's honestly kind of pointless.
>>32411995
Yes perfect.
>>32414000
Alas, no Zippo for Zipper. At least she can meme on Venusaur.
>>32411449
Just shrink yourself to your Ribombee's size mate.
>>32411478
Trust me, it's hip
>>32415651
DELET
>>32415651
Hip?
>>32415767
Stop that.
>>32415875
I can't tell if that's a lopsided smile or a Cutiefly style proboscis.
>>32415651
this is porn, isn't it
I'm so fucking done with this site, I can't even go into a thread like this and try to post something nice because of you fucking degenerate pieces of trash. I hate you, I really fucking hate you. I wrote a regular, nice post prior to this, one because I like ribombee, to get the thread going and even attached a nice image. But then it hit me, this image's art style, the expression in the ribombee's face. This is fucking porn. Just trash, awful, time and talent-wasting trash. I weep for whomever was commissioned to do this trite, and pray one day all of you degenerates get some kind of incurable and extremely painful disease that can make you feel the same pain that you cause onto this board daily with your repulsive presence.
I'm done, just fucking done.
>>32415941
Anon, that kind of post just encourages them. It shows them they can get a rise out of you and will only make them want to do it more. For the sake of a healthy thread, please delete that post.
I named my Cutiefly Jamboree, after that scuttlebug meme. It's a nice name, I think.
I had no intention of using it, I encountered one in the wild and remembered there was an NPC looking for one. But it was so cute so I kept it.
I remember it surprised me how good it was with Pollen Puff spam, but it didn't really do anything that my Primarina didnt do better.
>>32416727
>name a bee fly after a spiderlike bug
>uses qt bug
>loves it
>it evolves into humanoid thing
>no longer qt bug
>has pikachu
>boxes with excuse of not wanting two fairies
Was this a mistake?
>>32417194
I'm revoking your greentext license.
>>32417194
Everytime someone on /vp/ uses the term "humanoid" I die a little inside
>>32417243
Why so?
>>32417253
Most of the time its used for non-humanoid creatures, but the thing that bothers me the most is that people use it as an insult, as if being humanoid was an inherently bad thing for each and every PokƩmon. They might as well say "ugly" at that point.
IT'S HIP TO FUCK BEES
>>32417272
And here I used it because I thought bipedal was reaching meme status.
I think the general use of it as an insult is just not wanting every pokemon's final form to be the same. I actually used to use that as a reason I preferred pokemon over digimon. Digimon almost always become furbait or catgirls as their top form. I liked that pokemon had some variety. Also prefer monster/animal designs in general.
Here though, I honestly just really adored the idea of finally getting a decent cute bug type, or bug type in general. Then it losing some of the bug was disappointing.
It's like... I don't know. Finally getting that dolphin pokemon some people want, the first form being similar to a babymon, so you hope for something a little cooler but still happy and appealing. Then it just suddenly becomes a full blown mermaid. Half the appeal is gone.
>>32417194
>use qt bug
>evolves into even qter bug
post ribombee butt
>>32417437
woops
>>32417447
Nah, too late to take that shit back now.
>>32417488
I just needed to remove the name. The point about ribombee butt still stands.
>>32417437
I always knew Gamefreak was behind all the buttposting on /vp/
>>32410472
I named mine Omnicide after it shat all over Po Town. I used it because it was cute, but it's a fucking MONSTER in a slowla playthrough.
>>32410472
I assumed every VGC set revolved around quiver pass? Thats the set I wanted to test on Showdown before learning of that retarded Baton Pass rule Smogon had.
Playthrough? Cutiefly was a cutie. I was suspicious of it at first knowing it was a parasite but then it evolved into the cutest thing ever and oddly very useful. Casualfags on /vp/ whined and moaned about totem lurantis being the so called hardest thing every but my over-leveled be friend brought her down in two hits. From there my little friend only got more useful since for some reason he was the only pokemon in my party with a status move. My little bee/notbee friend went far beyond anything I expected and became my favorite bug this gen besides the two UB.
>>32416149
>taking copy-pasta memes seriously
>>32418267
Wait people had trouble with lurantis? The only totem pokemon i had trouble with was wichiwashi (mainly due to that damned alomola), and I picked the owl starter!
>>32418267
Ribombee/Oricorio is a thing too in doubles. Ribombee sets up Quiver Dance for Oricorio, creating a strong lead that can attack and buff at the same time. With Sweet Veil Ribombee stops Spore or the occasional Z-Hypnosis, or you can use the standard Shield Dust to ignore Fake Outs targeted on Ribombee and not worry about that Flamethrower burning you and invalidating your Focus Sash.
And of course even with the Quiver Pass set there's the matter of what you pass to.
I've managed to hold on evolving for two levels.
Will I make it to 99?
>>32418349
What's your endgame, madman?
ribombee plush WHEN
>>32418565
lvl 99 cutiefly, duh
>>32418624
As long as it takes you to make one
>>32418699
>those fries
FUCK now I'm hungry
Why you got such great taste Ribombee
>>32418624
>pokemon you like dont get plushes
>but pikachu will get 100 plushes of it per year
>>32418624
>Ribombee is perfect size for a 1:1 plush
>they'll probably still fuck it up and make it too small or too big
>>32418704
I don't begrudge Pikachu it. He's the face of the franchise, he works hard to keep it relevant so our favorites can keep appearing in things. He deserves the love.
>>32418734
I dont hate Pikachu but fuck me, I just want merch for other pokemon to exist. There are so many pokemon that are at least halfway popular that have nothing but some shittily made thing from 1999thanks mareep
>>32418738
Such is life in a franchise with hundreds of critters.
That said they're totally missing an opportunity to sell pollen puff candies.
Now its sad
>>32420556
Why is Ribombee sad?
>>32418734
Why in the world is it so important to you to be able to talk about pokemon with people who have probably never played a game before, much less are interested in RPGs or critters that have vague humanistic qualities.
>>32420576
>it's a "MUH NORMIES" post
Is /r9k/ leaking?
>>32421730
>>32410700
I want comfy ribombee with mugs of cocoa to be a thing.
>>32421769
I want to see a Ribombee with a human-sized cocoa mug
>>32421810
So it's a fairy being drunk in a mug of ale but it's Ribombee being comfy in a mug of cocoa?
>>32421810
>>32421853
Well that just sounds adorable.
>>32421853
Like the Dragon's Crown art? Sounds pretty cute
>>32422920
I love the way this artist draws Ribombee. It's very excellent.
>>32423131
It's definitely cute
>>32424120
Ribombee's Amie animations are what really sold me on it. It's so cute and happy.
Ribombee's scarf confuses me. Is it part of its body, or clothing? And what's it made of? My best guess is it's actually a poofy bunch of fur, considering it has fur on the rest of its body, but I'm really not sure.
>>32410472
I want to evolve my shiny cutiefly but it's male.
Conflicted as to whether to SOS a female one or just stick with this one. Was going to name it Pierre.
>>32424544
Evolve it. Ribombee's cute but it's pretty gender neutral aesthetically. Male fairies are a well established part of fantasy, Oberon and Puck being examples.
>>32424571
Well it's more that I specifically had it planned out as a female Ribombee named Polly. Not one of those
>hurr I only use specific gendered mons
But I did have a plan for this one in particular
>>32424240
The way it gets so bright-eyed when you interact with it is adorable
>>32424498
I assumed it was a part of its body made of fuzz, yeah
>>32424702
If they ever get around to making a Mystery Dungeon game with Alolamons I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of personality they give it.
>>32425158
Its only lines will probably be "Hey!", and "Listen!"
>>32424571
Puck? From Berserk!? I gotta go wash myself clean, then commit myself to an asylum now.
Why did I spend so much time on this?
Especially when it turned out so bad.
>>32425954
Its not bad just needs detail
>>32425158
I imagine they'd make it peppy and happy all the time. That seems fitting for it.
>>32425954
I really like how it came out!
>>32426052
>>32428075
Thanks.
I really don't draw much, but doing lil things like that is lots of fun.
>>32425954
Are you the same guy who did the Lurantis Happy Birthday image? Your stuff is pretty good.
>>32425197
>tfw no adventure game playing as Treecko with a Ribombee companion giving him advice on a quest to defeat a Drapion infesting the giant guardian Trevenant
>>32424571
I came back and reread your post after a day and realized how fucking good Oberon is as a name for it
fuck it I'm evolving it, onto the next hunt (either Grubbin or Bounsweet).
>>32425205
You're probably joking but Puck is a stock mythological character from European folklore. He appears in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," for example. Like most of Berserk, Guts's companion is inspired by existing mythology.
>>32428621
Hey m8, glad to help. Anything for a fellow fairybuge enthusiast.
>>32428378
Yeah.
Thanks, though I don't consider my stuff good.
It's just something I do when I get super bored.
Does anyone know of good strategies for using Ribombee in battle? In particular, does it work better by having Quiver Dance and Baton Pass or just acting as a straightforward attacker instead?
>>32431403
I would definitely use Quiver Dance and Baton Pass.
>>32428849
Oberon is now part of my ingame party I will use to play around with. SOS'd so no Moonblast but it's Timid with 6IVs anyway so whatever.
I love how the eyes quiver when you pet it.
>>32431403
Ribombee/Oricorio lead for doubles
Quiver Pass for singles
I've found Nidoking to be a great pass target
>tfw you like a lot of bugmons but hate the shit out of them irl
>>32434827
Bugs can be neat, though! That said Ribombee feels more fairylike than buglike.
>>32435379
I just hate how they fly around and get in my face, and bite me, and sting, all that. Oddly enough i dont really hate spiders as long as they dont come on my desk
>>32435428
Something like that is understandable. If it was a Ribombee flying around and getting in your face, less people would mind it.
>>32434827
I feel the same way about cute girls.
>>32435607
This is a great style.
>>32417194
Congratulations, you have earned the faggot of the day award for absolute shit taste.
>>32438721
>>32438727
aww
>>32438734
That's a tiny ds
>>32438858
Yeah, it must have been custom-made. Either that or someone taught it Minimize.
>>32438727
Yay, lesbians!
>>32439881
Not necessarily. There's a 50% chance the bug is a boy, after all.
>tfw I almost dropped my Ribombee in my story team only to give it another chance at not being shit
Good thing too, everything else I was running was slow as shit.
>>32440708
........Yay, lesbians!
>>32415941
WELCOME TO 4CHAN, BUCKO
I want to kiss Ribombee!
>>32415651I might regret asking this, but what is the person supposed to be holding here?
>>32443529
A tiny honey dipper, I think.
>>32443596
That's what I thought at first, but I had the feeling it was meant to be something less innocent considering the Ribombee's reaction to it. Then again, maybe the idea is it's about to be used for something not-so-innocent.
>>32441006
That's nice to hear. I used a Ribombee on my team too, and I liked her a lot. Definitely not a bad Pokemon, I'd say.
Ribombee looks so cheerful and I love it
>>32445215
Yeah, that's one of the things I like about it so much. It seems like the kind of Pokemon that just wants to be your friend.
That's the image limit. Thanks to everyone who contribeeuted
>tfw only 8 pages for Ribombee on pixiv
i just want more cute pictures
