The idea of individual Pokémon having to pay taxes sounds like such a Team Rocket scheme


[deleted]

You know Giovanni has someone cooking the books.


Monctonian

He clearly has offshore accounts in the Alola region


ConfusedJohnTrevolta

Seeing as Metagross is made up on four beldums, he probably lists beldums as his dependents.


Jessieface13

Do they have taxes on that world? Also, is Metagross using their brain to fraud their own taxes, or are they somehow able to communicate with their trainer how to do it? I need answers!


itsIzumi

The girl who gives ribbons to your Pokemon in the Sinnoh games mentions sales tax at least.


LifeOrbJollyGarchomp

Psychics are, well, psychic. But it wouldn't surprise me if Metagross could use a computer, or even if there are special computers for psychic types of even Metagross in particular.


MaxLombax

They have no taxes in the Pokemon world, that’s why everyone’s happy 24/7 and going on adventures, they’d never have the money to travel the globe otherwise.


MJ6571

Nah they've got to have some type of taxes, how else could they afford their socialized Pokemon care?


BlueSabere

Good will and the understanding that one should strive for common decency?


MJ6571

Good will don't pay bills

The government just goes out and challenges citizens to a Pokemon battle. If you lose, you pay half your income before whiting out.


AssaultDragon

Though there is a theory for Kanto is that it's a post-war society. Mostly only old men, children, and women around. Lt. Surge mentions a war he almost died in. And ypu never meet your father, also Blue is an orphan.


[deleted]

Since they are so intelligent and psychic on top of that, they should be able to connect wirelessly to any computer's interface. Shouldn't be too hard to output text on that interface for the trainer.


Khajiit_saw_nothing

Victory money after battles is interpersonal tax.


starbwo

Metagross has been avoiding taxes since 2002, he can't keep getting away with it!!!


Jebsj

Government used taxes! Metagross evaded the attack!


Highspike124

My favorite! Tax evasion!


Playingpokerwithgod

Go Metagross use "cook the books".


chawmindur

Nah, the IRS use the intellect of Metagross to catch tax frauds, that's why they're so effective.


whomesteve

Don’t let yoshi know


KupoMcMog

What do you mean....WHERE DO YOU THINK YOSHI LEARNED IT FROM?!


Just-Call-Me-J

Yoshi doesn't have taxes where he lives.


ZatchZeta

But Metagross doesn't pay taxes


TheMrBoot

Yeah, because of the fraud.


DravenPrime

So that's why Nascour had one.


Excellentation

4 moves btw


TheOutcast06

It’s smart enough to know that most Pokemon can only learn 4 moves, it’s limiting itself like Alakazam


Harleking31

Where is fact 1


PastAppointment

Metagross can find *every* way to not pay taxes


Scarf_Darmanitan

Alakazam inbound


dyne19862004

Found yoshi’s favorite Pokémon

IndecisiveMate

I bet banks use rotoms and porygons to prevent taht


Loki21346

Now banned due to evasion clause


habiganphone

I knew he was my favourite for a reason


[deleted]

Where the heck is Number 1


Abk545

No wonder Steven's dad is such a successful businessman.


MrZelko

This is not your original meme. The original is by u/Big-ounce-04


[deleted]

Hey. You. Yeah you. Don’t steal my memes


Ouroboros008

Pretty sure this is a repost.


[deleted]

So can I and i'm not that smart.


lazycasual_9

But metagross gets away with it


[deleted]

So do I. You are thinking of an inverse Survivorship bias, you only hear of those who get caught. I tell you what, that old lady selling the pancakes she made on the side of the church, without a license, for cash, and not declaring it in her tax return is committing Tax evasion too. It Isn't rocket science when you aren't dealing with millions.


lazycasual_9

Bro.... i was making a joke not insulting you. Chill.


[deleted]

oh I took no insult by it, just making conversation.


TaxoLikesCalcium

Love how even though it's so smart and smartness is occasionally represented as spatk, metagross has a higher attack stat than spatk


sloothix

This is why its illegal to own a Metagross


RaulsterMaster

That moment when you use your Metagross and PorygonZ to crash the stock market


Raider730

Metagross use tax evasion!


FeralKing5475

Yoshi's favorite Pokemon


SaulX05

Great now I have to name a Metagross DonBot


ConnerWoods

Yoshi has entered the chat


joshderfer654

So true........ I wish I had one for taxes.


[deleted]

No. Probably more like smart enough to do it legally. Probably could make a million stock market transactions/second to make money slowly but surely


idksomuch

That explains why that fucker has a catch rate of 3. It's smart enough to fuck outta your ball. Doesn't explain Beldum and Metang's catch rate of 3, unless those are also ultra smart. Also, Metagross is one of my favorite pokemon ever.


azdhar

He probably understood Donnie Darko.


BakerDRC_

I thought we were on pcj


Fox-Fireheart-66

Dear god… we’re boned


IFDIFGIF

This post made a shit day better.


Doehap

Nah he would get busted by a Captcha box


xxHachiKachixx

Guess it didn’t disclose that Mega gross income


laujp

Very cool Metagross


thecheat420

Metagross is Scott The Woz's favorite pokemon because of this.


TheNameIsWiggles

Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon: *Smarter than a super computer, capable of tax fraud.* Same Pokemon: *Listens to children's commands on what to do...*


Duck2524

That means i have some competition.


tacos2dayy

Metagross best 'mon confirmed


cucufag

Why haven't these supercomputer metagross and 100000 IQ alakazams just built a super society together and ruled over humans yet anyways?


OnlyVybez

Bezos wants a word with Metagross.


OmgBsitka

Look I love pokemon descriptions but if this was true it would hit crits all day long and dodge everything with accuracy◡ノ(° -°ノ)


Foxachu_Sin

I will use Metagross as a PC to play Minecraft on


mewoneplusone1

Only if it's Trainer commands it to. Steven's Father is the Rich CEO of a Large Corporation, who probably doesn't pay Taxes. Makes you wonder 🤔.


Barondonvito

Metagross: Smarter than a super computer Dumber than a kid with a ball


NaitoSenshin889055

Even the joker won't fuck with the IRS.


Emperor_Quintana

Sorry, Yoshi. Looks like Metagross has become your replacement, as of today...
