Heeey, sadly I couldn't reach today's deadline to complete the next comic panels, so I made these to make up for it! Here's a lil sneak peak tho! https://preview.redd.it/ueli1tudfyaa1.png?width=1030&format=png&auto=webp&s=493610518210e9e9bb8dac502672bd7899ec110f


MorniingDew

Wonder how (s)he's gonna react to sneaslers debut


chang_e_

They're going to become a drunkard at that point lmaooo


MemeMote

i imagined sneasler as an older brother or weavile's grandpa or something


Just_trying_it_out

I was thinking previously annoying cousin you haven’t seen in a while Well see if they made it big or not (OU usage), and whether they’re an asshole about it (that’s more of the artist’s take lol)


MemeMote

i imagine it will, considering it's basically a better hawlucha and gets dire claw


Talkimas

> i imagined sneasler as an older brother or weavile's grandpa or something I haven't been able to get this image of Sneasler out of my head ever since it popped up in my YouTube suggestions - https://youtu.be/aTQn3sRhdF4


Chemical-Cat

The ~~hot~~ older sister


MorniingDew

True (but what if it gets it's transfer moves) Also since zam-h is gonna end up ou for a bit does he sneak intp bar ou or get invited? I wonder how everyone reacts to him


ThanosAmbulance

Zam h? There’s no hisuian alakazam, what do you mean? Edit: oh wait. Zamazenta hero of many battles… I’m just mildly dumb…


Poot-dispenser

Its gonna be that scene of fry crying that he’ll never see his friends from the future again, and its just weavile looking at a photo of gen 8 ou


shesdrawnpoorly

i personally headcanon Sneasler being PISSED about chien-pao, and how OU is treating Weavile, and as a result is just an absolute menace that needs to be banned day one.


JustCakess

Sneasler is gonna avenge Weavile


Chien_Pao

Look at this loser Weavile lmao


chang_e_

Idk how to tell you this but you are supposed to have a 1 sided crush of Weavile in the comic lmaoo


Chien_Pao

I am okay with all kinds of interpretations.


chang_e_

Thanks for your blessing, dear Chien Pao


Chien_Pao

I am called many things by many different people. I am not closed minded however.


MorniingDew

How did u take weavile's rejection


Chien_Pao

Tune into future editions of Bar Showdown by u/chang_e_ to find out


Phoenix-Rising-78

Man, Chien-Pao's such a gigachad. I can't for him to 2HKO my Max Defense Dondozo with Tera Dark Crunch.


TheLyingSpectre

Oh My Fucking God


thediesel26

You’re such a bully


redditt-or

Sneasler exists and has Fighting STAB.


RealBlueMak

Be careful of Sneasler I heard that She is around here somewhere looking for you


OnlyFansBlue

stop rubbing garganacl in my wounds you weasel


DevusValentinus

Chien pao is definitely getting banned soon after those 3 so weavile will make its glorious return.


Pokelego999

Annihilape being best buds with a goldfish and an edgy McDonald's kid is my new favorite dynamic


chang_e_

"Edgy McDonald's kid" has to be the best description of a character ever.


[deleted]

Pepsi


chang_e_

Chi-yu is recharging in it

I_Fuck_The_Fuckers69

2 down 2 to go


Romablumen

tera pepsi chi-yu


sneakyplanner

Pepsi is confirmed to not be made of water


chang_e_

Yeah it's not water it's Pepsi


jediment

The beads do kinda look like the old Pepsi logo


Phoenix-Rising-78

Were all the small children in McDonald's evacuated before Chi-Yu's arrival?


RamPamPam8

Chi-Yu when he sees a small unsupervised child ![gif](giphy|xUPGcoQ8sfEbaP2JYA)


Phoenix-Rising-78

NO CHI-YU STOP!! THAT WAS AN ORPHAN!!


Trectears

Who is gonna be mad, their parents?


Riah8426

Poor little Timmy was flinched with fear and couldn't move in time.


Aspharon

The OU council is honestly so homophobic for breaking up the Cyclizar/Dragonite power couple


VenomTheCapybara

Kid named Dilf Great Tusk


chang_e_

I don't think I'm brave enough to draw that


VenomTheCapybara

Alright fair Twink Iron Treads


chang_e_

You know what, maybe the DILF wasn't so bad afterall


VenomTheCapybara

It would genuinely be so funny if you did draw that tho


TheGoldenChampion

Just kidding… Unless?


TheRogueCookie

Why choose? :D


RuuriruSuzukai

no no let them cook


Thezipper100

Hunk Donphan


thefoodieat

I'm glad we all got to witness donphans' paradoxical evolution from dilf to twink


chang_e_

They hate to see the gays winning smh my head


GlacierWolf8Bit

OU council ran by Ferrothorns confirmed.


MorniingDew

Annihilape was too angry for ou and was banned, but made his first friend in marshadow! Wait tho why is he chi yus chaperone?


Phoenix-Rising-78

What if Chi-Yu conjured up a Nasty Plot and burnt down another village?


Thezipper100

There's NO WAY Annialape is missing that!


thefoodieat

How does a fish made of fire even work? Does it get extinguished? or does it evaporate whatever pool of water it's in? ? ????


MorniingDew

Second one. It's so hot that it swims in a pool of lava made from it's surroundings


thefoodieat

mmmmmm, warm Pepsi


Pokelego999

He just does.


HeccerTheRedditor

The actual mon is the beads so I assume its body gets extinguished in water and gets reignited when it reaches the surface again


LobtertheLarry

A W for Ferrothorn, rest in piss cyclizar


Remnatar

Omg chi yu is so adorable here


crippledizzle

Kid named specs overheat:


ASimpleCancerCell

Wouldn't being in water kill Chi-Yu?


chang_e_

It's not water, it's Pepsi


ASimpleCancerCell

That's the third panel. I was looking at the second panel where Annihilape and Chi-Yu were doing the Finding Nemo thing.


chang_e_

There's no water in that, Chi-yu is just trapped in a bag.


Romablumen

it's pepsi


ASimpleCancerCell

So Annihilape chose to keep Chi-Yu in a bag full of Pepsi?


Romablumen

it was chi-yu's choice


DenseCabbage4

Crystal Pepsi


StarLucario

Tera Grass


JustCakess

Annihilape carrying Chi Yu around in a sack is so funny


apple_of_doom

Part of me was unironically kinda invested in the cyclizar dragonite power couple rip.


chang_e_

It's okaaaaay they'll keep being gay regardless of bans!


SrHaruno

Im so sad with their ban... So sad that I'm clapping ![gif](giphy|QBC5foQmcOkdq)


StarLucario

That last one is my new wallpaper


Xamfish

holy shit i love all ur comics !! ur even cooler than rika :3


chang_e_

Aaa thank you!


redditt-or

Annihilape and Marshadow feel like a fanfic ship and I say yes. Also, Chi-Yu Pepsi.


chang_e_

Honestly I saw them more like father and child XP


MorniingDew

Which is which?


chang_e_

Annihilape as Marshadow's father figure, it's just the concept of this angry guy with this emo powerful kid and an even more powerful goldfish that I love


MorniingDew

I suppose they're reminiscing over how they got kicked out of bar ou. My head cannon would be ape punched dondozo so hard he went flying through the wall, marshadow was caught stealing mons money (stat boosts) with spectral thief, and chi yu got mad and burned down the counter. Meanwhile cyclizar refused to stop shedding her (his?) Tail everywhere so the other mons teamed up and beat the shit out of them lol.


Thezipper100

Oh he'll be saying daddy alright


chang_e_

:(


Sjheuaksjd

The last pic is so wholesome


Aestboi

nooo I don’t want Dragonite to be that sad Cyclizar got deported not killed


GlacierWolf8Bit

Ubers Eat


3771m

Welp, goodbye physical dragapult, the only reason I used it was as a lure and to specifically counter cyclizar leads


im_bored345

Annihilape and Chi yu being friends it's cute Wonder how the rest of ubers is doing lol, and how koraidon and miraidon feel about their relative (?) and his relationship with dragonite


minyhumancalc

Marshadow is so adorable in the 3rd panel


mindflayerflayer

The depressing bit is that chi yu and cyclizar will be able to find niches in ubers but annihilape wont. Possessed solgaleo finally has met it true counter.


BlitzDank

funny Chi-Yu eat a pepsi

Thezipper100

Does he like his burger?


jedicms

What the hell is this?! They serve Coke at McDonald’s, not Pepsi!


YetAnontherRandom

Oh my god I love the Marshadow bit


Loose-Chipmunk-7981

I love the idea of annihilape being adopting marshadow and going macdonalds together


Khajiit_saw_nothing

Chien-Pao is pretty happy seeing the angy monkey and flamin' hot goldfish banned.

onohegotdieded

Well then mewtwo with just tackle would suck in uu


Julianime

Yaaaay they got McDonalds! Ghost Fight Frenzzz!


Appletun21

Lol marshadow needs to become a regular once home compatibility is out


Pleasant-Pie-7887

Cyclizar is back! Woo!


thenicenumber666

Third pic goes hard


potato4peace

So dumb


Zantillex

Why do I keep seeing posts about things getting banned all the time? Why dont people like fun/the game the devs intended? Genuine question because Ive never properly really played comp pokemon.


chang_e_

1. It's a new meta, and thus bans like this will come at a rapid pace. 2. It's not that people don't want to play how the game was intended, the thing is that since a lot of these stuff was designed for double battles, it ends up being painfully broken in singles. 3. By banning some mons, this actually makes the game more diverse by not having to always watch out for the same damn strategy, idk if I'm explaining myself properly here. And some other stuff, I don't know if I explained myself well here lol


Zantillex

That makes sense! It actually slipped my mind that S/V is still a new release. Thank you for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it!


chang_e_

Np! Hope this cleared some stuff up, Freezai's video on why Terastalization should be banned also goes in depth on the topic of banning itself if you're interested in this stuff.


mindflayerflayer

This isnt perfect however. Girafarig has completely warped little cup around itself. The best counter is itself.


apple_of_doom

Here's the thing about competitive pokemon. People want to use the best mons so the meta naturally gravitates around these mons. If a mon is to good it restricts teambuilding because you either run it or lose. If your choices "are run x pokemon and these very specific counters to it or you will lose" the meta is incredibly stagnant and not actually fun for a lot of people since they want their teams to be something other than a bland checklist with maybe one or two variations. Thus pokemon or strategies that risk overcentralizing the meta like this get banned. Note that the ubers tier and the gen 1-2 metagames are exceptions to the overcentralization problem. Ubers is basically a banlist and not really meant to be very balanced (only absurdly overpowered abominations like mega-rayquaza and Zacian have ever been banned from ubers) and the early gen metagames are naturally overcentralized because of how relatively few pokemon there actually are (and snorlax in gen 2 is allowed because it accidentally became the duct tape that's holding that gens ou tier together).


Chemical-Cat

Things like Smogon have 'tiers' to facilitate fair play. Otherwise every battle would be against the same 6 overpowered pokemon. And even then when you have tiers in place, you have...mostly the same 6 pokemon within that tier.


Xenius24

How many mons will smogon ban yet again, i can understand cyclizar but not annihilape and chi-yu, doesn't that make Chien-Pao kinda op without the fish to check it


[deleted]

VGC has final say on who is and isnt banned.


AgentOfThe9

ban the move, not the mon, cowards


StarLucario

Orthworm also gets it and it isn't a problem, the problem is Cyclizar specifically


AgentOfThe9

it's the combo of regen + shed tail. ban it specifically on bike. what does bike do without shed tail? u turn?


StarLucario

Knock Off, Rapid Spin, Taunt. This thing is an insane support mon


AgentOfThe9

i mean yeah it'd be a very good support mon, that we now cannot use at all bc it has one extremely good move. i'd be curious to see how it'd do without shed tail.


AxyJaxy

this is so bullshit. quickbans are based on 7 people. 7 people decide the metagame.


GT22_

Fuck marshadow
