Pokemon BrainStrain v.14 (approved by Lady Vulpix)

[Knight of Time]

Must be Grubbin.

[Shadow Wolf]

It is indeed. The famous lord who gave a certain streamer the luck needed for a 1st encounter shiny legendary is now in your hands. May lord Grubbin give you said luck too.

*Hands over Grubbin figurine*

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Louis, that's a new one for me.

Okay, hope you all have the luck of the Irish in figuring this one out.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll start with a Legendary guess of Latias.

[Knight of Time]

Latias: L??i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, I'll go for Lumineon, then.

[Knight of Time]

Lumineon: Lu?i*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How about Ludicolo?

[Knight of Time]

Ludicolo: Lu?i*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hey, let's try Lugia

EDIT: Whoops, wasted guess. Didn't see the first guess. But that's OK. I'll work on it with the next guess.

[Knight of Time]

Lugia: Lu?i*

Yeah, I'm afraid there's no way this can be Lugia, sorry Louis.

[Shadow Wolf]

No worries. Let's try Luxio

[Knight of Time]

You got it this time Louis. Here's a Luxio figurine.

'hands it to you'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Awesome! Thank you very much Kyle. The Shinx family is one of my favorite group of Pokemon, so I'm glad to have this one.

See the first letter of this post? That starts the next BrainStrain.

[Knight of Time]

So it's A, eh? I'll start with Abra again.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And I'll try Aromatisse.

[Shadow Wolf]

One of you scored a critical hit on this one:

Abra: A*
Aromatisse: A?o??t*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So this is Anorith?

[Shadow Wolf]

Indeed it is Mikachu. Nicely done.

*Hands over Anorith figurine*

Your turn.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks.

This one starts off with the same letter as my real name, as well as my TPM username.

M.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try Machamp.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Machamp: Ma??a*

[Knight of Time]

Maybe it's Magmar?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You're closing in.

Magmar: Mag?ar*

[Knight of Time]

Ooh, could this be Magearna?

[Shadow Wolf]

I'll try Magcargo.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Knight of Time has it. This is the Mythical Magearna! Here you are!

Your turn.

[Knight of Time]

Thanks Mikachu, I'm surprised that one turned out to be Magearna.

Okay, how many of you remember the Herman's Hermits song Henry the VIII? In it there is a lyric called "second verse, same as the first"; if anyone is wondering what has to do with this game, the starting letter of this one is the same as the last one.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Does this mean another M?

If so, I'll start this off with Munna.

[Knight of Time]

Yep, that's what I meant when I said "second verse, same as the first".

Munna: M*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Misdreavus is my next guess.

[Knight of Time]

Misdreavus: M???re*

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's try Morgrem.

[Knight of Time]

Morgrem: Mo??re*

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm... Could this be a Moltres?

[Knight of Time]

You know what Louis? It is a Moltres!

'hands you the legendary figurine'

Go for it.

[Shadow Wolf]

Ah, thank you Kyle. Just for the sake of clarification, this is a kantonian Moltres, correct?

As I wait for the answer, a D indicates the start of the next BrainStrain.

[Knight of Time]

You can choose either a Kanto Moltres or Galar Moltres (just remember that a shiny Moltres will always be a Kanto one).

Meanwhile, I'll try Durant first.

[Shadow Wolf]

Oh, I forgot that forms are free to choose on some victories. Anyway, I'll go ahead with the Galarian Moltres since I have yet to get it in Sw/Sh, hahahahaha.

As for the puzzle:

Durant: D*

[Knight of Time]

Okay, Galarian Moltres it is then.

I'll try Ditto next.
