What are some unwritten rules of Pokémon that no one talks about yet everyone seems to agree upon? Such as:
>using legendaries is for fags
>having a balanced team despite overleveling one mon is clearly easier
>horn is better than fins

Quality opinions, OP.

You all remember the bigass horns vs fins debate? Got so bad pretty much pokemon fandom collectively erased the war from their site archives and not talk on it again when possible?

Great Balls are ass. You either buy Ultra Balls to maximize your catch rate or stick with Poké Balls for uniformity and a spot of challenge. Specialty balls like Net, Heal, and Dusk are kosher. But anyone who buys Great Balls from the mart and uses them with earnest intent is a fucking psycho, especially so in the late game.

I do this too but I've taken to just trading over five of every ball as soon as I'm able.
Trying to replay XY was what got me started on trading because, for some stupid reason, heal balls are midgame instead of the first variant you should acquire.
Really sucks if I want to replay FRLG, though.

Using starters is for losers
Using legendary even pseudo legendaries are for brats
Using a shiny pokemon that you did not capture with maximum odds, as in no manipulating the RNG, the breeding mechanics or having the shiny charm is cheating.
Using a full 6 man team for gym leaders is cheating, if you go in not knowing how many pokemon the gym leader carries that's fine but only if getting to the leader involves some annoying ass gimmick that resets when you exit the place after wiping out all the gym trainers any other time makes you a lamer.
Challenging the Elite Four and champion should be a gauntlet where you can't heal until the battle is over and even so you shouldn't need to heal anything against the elite 4 only once you face off against the champion or right before them should you be allowed to fully heal your team.

seaking without a horn is just a big-ass goldfish
seaking without fins is like a human with no limbs, it's just a torso that won't survive without outside help and the horn is therefore pointless when the pokemon can't even move

Cynthia is peak hard Shift mode, but doesn't get much harder on Set. Iris is a cakewalk om shift, but is fucking terrifying on Set

I was just telling him that you don't need to force yourself if you're not using the mon.
For example, if you're just catching something for an in-game trade, then there's no reason to go full balltism.

And in Arceus for things too annoying to stay in a normal ball at full health, (or that flee if the first one breaks like abra) but not worth the iron an ultra costs.

Gigaton and Jet are definitely the only option on those though.
