    I’m quite sure the artist is winning that one. He’s riling up so many people by just repeating a single phrase.

    Like, anyone who thinks he’s serious is really not yet fit for the Internet.

      It’s my favorite argumentative tactic. I’ve been in a months long debate with youtube losers about whether one of every Pokemon would beat 1,000,000,000 (one billion) lions

        • I am, because for all the effort people put into copying and pasting pokedex entries, I can simply reply with “but a billion lions is a lot of lions, it’s too many lions” and get another dozen replies

            Whatever floats your boat man, I guess I just don’t get how being an internet troll brings joy

            • It’s just funny seeing people work themselves up over someone thinking a wrong thing about a video game. It’s not like I’m harassing people or anything

          Which ones are you thinking? I had 6.

          I thought of Arceus, a fully powered up Necrozma, Yveltal, Dialga and Palkia. All of them could obliterate (or just reap life out of) the lions using nothing but their known innate abilities.

          Sixth one is either form of Hoopa, who can just make interdimentional holes of any size even at a range and without being present, and thus can both move themselves and the lions anywhere they want at will (so, lions into the sun, themselves into a real life resort in Miami with self-serve mojitos)

          But those are just the “quick” ones. Literally any pokemon who is conceivably immune to the lions wins by default. Just takes a long time. Like, Registeel and Regice are both known to endure absurd pressures and temperatures, so it’s only a question of how long it takes for them to punch through the pile.

              Yveltal is more a direct win than Xerneas because Yveltal, canonically, can cause a self-feeding Anihilation Event on all life when it itself dies. It’s even brought up on the latest dex entry as game-canon confirmation.

              So imagine it is fighting and somehow loses, gets crushed by a billion lions - the lions will all then immediately start fading away into a sphere of doom that expands to consume all of then, and then retracts back down to generate an egg. It’s a tie. At least, it’s one until a short while later when Yveltal births again.

              Yes, the ultimate weapon in Gen 6 is basically just a way of using both Xerneas’ and Yveltal’s powers as one. But for the purposes of beating a billion lions, really, Yveltal is the important component. That was why I only put it up.

              Ghost types

              Hadn’t even considered that. Good call. Ghosts on the whole could also easily be stall wins.

          It’s really hard to tell on the internet. I saw no indication it wasn’t just a guy that wasn’t sure and did no further research after being firmly told they are smooth, actually.
