The answer may surprise you!
Hi howdy hey! I have literally heard any and every possible comment you can leave on the Sunflora post. Please let it die. Let it rest.
-”the genders are different!” This is because the screenshots in the commonly-circulating reblogs are posted by two different people. Look very closely! (If you want to headcanon trans Sunflora, that’s fine too. Sunflora says trans rights.)
-”but it would need to be level 60 or above” Untrue, actually! Many comments in the notes have broken down how this is very feasible. Apparently, the maximum possible level for the HP stats shown in the screenshots is around 40. I’m no number-cruncher myself, but all I know is that I did indeed win with a level 36 boye, whether you like it or not.
-”but sunflora would get destroyed” Probably! I had a supply of Full Restores when I did the battle. Clair’s first Dragonair has Surf, so Sunflora can heal while it builds up Growths. If you planned ahead, you could probably EV train or even do a cool Baton Pass setup, to avoid having to use items. Maybe even Sunny Day and Synthesis. This was my ingame team, so it wasn’t planned or set up in any way, I was merely having some fun.
-”haha I thought this was Flowey from undertale” Good for you! I should hope that no Sunflora ever acquires Flowey’s actual abilities.
-”(gsc elite four karen quote about winning with your favourites)” Yes! Bravo!
-”keep dragging everyone sunflora trainer” I am j I am just here,, trying to live, I’m not out for blood or anything, I just don’t like it when people try to say I’m a liar or that the Sunflora post is fake. I literally didn’t know my funny video game post would blow up to the point of having 100k notes LOL
-”winning against ai trainers isn’t very impressive, clair isn’t very good actually” That’s true! Did you know they ban Baton Pass in every major tier in (current metagame), aside from Anything Goes formats? Any pokemon can be a major threat if it somehow manages to receive +6 in the relevant stats. AI and ingame trainers usually don’t have a solution for when you spam +6 boosts and heal your Pokemon with full restores. Real, living players, however, probably won’t let you get away with it that easily. It would take a lot of effort, setup, support pokemon and strategy to make an omni +6 Sunflora exist in a real, competitive game, but it is theoretically possible. I will not be the person who proves this or makes this happen, but maybe this is a good prompt for some clickbait competitive youtuber out there. As for the rest of you, be sure you have Haze, Taunt, Infiltrator, Unaware, or some other forms of countermeasures against overpowered, Baton Passed pokemon. Or, perhaps just a +6 omniboosted garchomp, or something.
Anyway, I never intended to make a point with my original post. I merely accomplished an amusing feat in my game and drew a funny image to celebrate the occasion. If you find it inspirational and epic, that’s great! I’m happy it could bring you joy. As for myself, the influx of negative attention really made a negative impact on me back in 2018. It made me lose a lot of passion for art and a lot of passion for existing. It is only now, in late 2021, that I am regaining some passion for art, drawing things, and living life. My life has changed a lot, and I’m more healthy in various ways. I can now look back on the Sunflora post with some form of amusement and bemusement, some form of tired nostalgia.
If you love me or my sunny boye, let us live in peace. And pray, for your own sanity, that you never experience the horrors of a post you make blowing up to the point of having more than 10k notes.
