Flux Changes Your Screen Colour and Brightness by Time of Day

Flux changes your screen brightness and tint according to the time of the day.

If you’ve had enough of having your eyes burned off by your computer, Flux might just be for you.

Flux adjusts the tiny and the brightness of your computer based on the time of day. It dims your monitor in the evening. To check it out, you can use the preview option. It may look drastic, but in real time it adjusts slowly.

If you are doing colour-sensitive work, you can disable it for one hour

It takes some time to get used to it, but it really works.

The Pokémon Theme for Rainmeter

Rainmeter is a great tool for customizing your desktop.

This Rainmeter theme is great for Pokémon fans, as it has all the Pokémon up to #649 (Genesect).

The skin, which can be found here, has battery, Wifi, CPU and RAM meters, and also has an email and launcher skin. You can change the Pokémon shown to any Pokémon up to Genesect, which is number 649 on the Pokédex. The Pokémon can be a shiny Pokémon or a normal Pokémon.

To change the default Pokémon shown, simply change the ‘Poke’ (located at the bottom of each section) to the Pokédex number of the Pokémon you want. If you want the Pokémon to be shiny, simply change the ‘Shiny’ (located above the ‘Poke’) to yes.

The background can be found here.

PhraseExpress – A Text Expander for Windows

PhraseExpress can save you hours of typing.

PhraseExpress is a text expansion tool for Windows. It autocorrects, corrects your spelling, a smart typing feature which monitors often typed phrases and predicts them as you type and a clipboard manager which shows recent items in the clipboard.

PhraseExpress can save you lots of time whilst typing. Along with the autocorrect, prediction and clipboard manager, you can make your own phrases that you use a lot. To do this, I advise that you make a folder called ‘Phrases’, where all the phrases you make will go into.
After you have made the folder, select it, and click ‘New Phrase’. Then, enter the text you want in the Phrase Content box. Then, title it accordingly. The Autotext box is the key. In there is the text that you will use to trigger the text you put in the Phrase Content box. I always add a # infront of my Autotext phrases, so that when typing I will not accidentally put the text in. Make sure the Autotext is something simple and memorable. 
Once complete, simply enter the phrase and then press space, tab or enter.

TCG: Take out opponents with Marowak

Marowak is a card not to be taken lightly.

Marowak comes from HS – Triumphant extension pack, number 44/103. It is uncommon.

It has 90 HP, and two moves. It is weak to Water, and resistant to Electric type moves. Its retreat cost is one Colourless energy.

> Moves

Marowak is armed with two extremely powerful moves: Bonemerang and Bone Impact.

Bonemerang is Marowak most powerful move when there is no Stadium card in play. It does 60 damage, times the number of heads you get. So, if you’re lucky and you get two heads, the move does 120 damage.

Bone Impact is great if the opponent has a vital Stadium card in play. The move does 20 damage plus 60 if a Stadium card is in play. The Stadium card then has to be discarded, which means that you might mess up your opponents strategy.

So, you might want to consider adding Marowak to your deck.

Pokémon in the Spotlight: Farfetch’d!

Farfetch’d is a Flying and Normal type Pokémon.

> Strategy guide

     – Stats

To be blunt, Farfetch’d has rubbish stats, which are evenly laid out.
StatRange
At Lv. 50At Lv. 100
HP:52
112 – 159214 – 308
Attack:65
63 – 128121 – 251
Defense:55
54 – 117103 – 229
Sp.Atk:58
56 – 121108 – 236
Sp.Def:62
60 – 125116 – 245
Speed:60
58 – 123112 – 240
Total:352 Thanks to Bulbapedia! 
  • Minimum stats are calculated with 0 EVs, IVs of 0, and a hindering nature, if applicable.

  • Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, IVs of 31, and a helpful nature, if applicable.

  • This Pokémon’s  Special  base stat in Generation I was 58.

     – Suggested moveset

  • Swords Dance
  • Brave Bird
  • Leaf Blade
  • Quick Attack
Swords Dance will boost Farfetch’d’s attack stat. Brave Bird is Farfetch’d’s most powerful move, and Leaf Blade gives you an edge over Rock type Pokémon. Quick Attack enables Farfetch’d to take out weakened opponents before the opponent will KO Farfetch’d (which is probably going to happen).

     – Type defenses

All in all, you might not want to try Farfetch’d out. Its not one of the best Pokémon (in fact it is probably one of the worst).

Gym in the Spotlight: Fortree City

Fortree City’s gym is a flying type gym, so you will want Electric, Ice and Rock Pokémon (a Fire type would also be strongly recommended).

The Gym cannot be reached when you first arrive in the city, as an invisible barrier blocks you from entering the door. You need the Devon Scope from Steve (he can be found on route 120) to be able to access the Gym. Below is a detailed guide of the trainers Pokémon and the Gym Leaders Pokémon (Winona).
There are 4 trainers you need to defeat before encountering the Gym Leader. After defeating them all and when you have found your way through the gym, you get to battle Winona.

> Winona

Swablu (Lvl. 29) – Normal / Flying
Tropius (Lvl. 29) – Grass / Flying
Pelipper (Lvl. 30) – Water / Flying
Skarmory (Lvl. 32) – Steel / Flying
Altaria (Lvl. 33) – Dragon / Flying
You will need more than just Electric, Ice and Rock Pokémon to easily beat Winona. You can do super effective damage to her Skarmory and Tropius with a Fire type Pokémon. Don’t use an Ice move against Pelipper and Skarmory as it will not be super effective. Take out Pelipper with an Electric move, as this is four time effective.
Altaria is one of the hardest Pokémon to defeat, as it is not weak to Electric type moves. Altaria usually uses Dragon Dance twice before using Earthquake, so it might be wise to switch to a flying type Pokémon. Winona will keep using hyper potions to keep Altaria alive, so you will want to burn or poison it.
