I'm upset because I just discovered I can't find Frillish in this game. I want a Jellicent named Pringles.

I wish there was a Mega Magikarp. That'd be the best pokemon.

The Shortest Path posted:Well that's kind of the problem, is that if you want to do any kind of pokemon battling at all your options are the official Nintendo format (which is doubles) or Smogon. I really don't see the problem with that. If you just do the whole no rules environment you get the rear end in a top hat who drags up Mewtwo and Darkrai and whatever and will curbstomp your team of Empoleon and Heracross. Having some structure is good and having no structure leads to the disparity of some people mini maxing everything and they get opponents who are using their in-game teams

Electric Phantasm posted:Is there any drawback to Mega Kangaskhan? Everything I've read about it makes it sound incredibly broken and I can't remember anyone saying anything about counters. It's basically broken in the same way as Aegislash. There are a whole bunch of solutions to it, but it does require your opponent to have and use them correctly. That's not to say it isn't good, it is, it's just not something that's getting banned. You don't hear talk about counters, for the same reason people avoid saying the word Taunt around Aegislash. It kills the fun. notthegoatseguy posted:I really don't see the problem with that.

The post wasn't about tiers, it was about smogon people themselves being dicks. Structure is cool, let's see some Meganium fight some Shuckle or whatever NU people do.

Kotaku's entire business plan is bullshit story with even bullshittier headline to garner clicks and therefore ad revenue. Linking Kotaku is a sign of credulity like finding out gullible isn't in the dictionary.

Beasteh posted:Flame Charge and Shadow Sneak don't mesh at all, since one increases speed (and has weak power) and the other has priority. Can I ask why you think the 4 should go into speed and not attack? It only has 54 base speed.

The Shortest Path posted:Exactly. It's too prominent and overcentralizes the game around it. If distribution were heavily limited, like what's happening with Sticky Web, it would be great, because then you'd have to actually make decisions about whether you're including it on your team based on whether it fits or not. But everything and its mother can learn it, so it's a complete no-brainer and forces all strategy to revolve around it.  Edit: That god drat Kotaku article.

TheEggsBenedict posted:Actually, the metagame would just be filled with thousands of Dragonites, Volcaronas, and Mega Zards if stealth rock wasn't a thing. They already have a lot of counters though, particularly Tyranitar, that are just as prominent with or without stealth rock.

So I'm very slowly working through the game. I saw all the posts about Hawlucha and thought "he sounds cool." Then I saw my first one.  If you aren't at least using him on your in-game team you are objectively wrong.

Zoran posted:Okay, I actually did find something better than Mega-Kangaskhan's Return. As long as we're counting abilities as base power increases, Diggersby's Return hits 306. Too bad its actual stats are way worse so Diggersby does less damage. Diggersby's hidden ability is huge power.

I don't think I have ever been as excited about a pokemon I knew nothing about. When he showed up in the grass I totally lost my poo poo. He got to stay on my team after single-handedly ruining the whole fighting gym.

So is there any hard numbers on Stored Power yet since that's a move that interests. I'm thinking like a Substitute Leftovers Ninjask (worked for me back in Gen IV) stalling for several turns then baton passing over to a Gardevoir. Calm Mind would be the more oblivious set up but if the move powers up for every stat increase letting a Ninjask speed up for a while then swapping over could have it wreck house and maybe work out better? Then again I might just run a Ninjask cause it's goddamn Ninjask

I love my Diggersby, he's a great utility Pokemon. Not only does he randomly pick up items after battle, he can use Surf, Cut, Rock Smash and Strength.

So I'm thinking of making a team for Battle Maison triples because i like triples the best. So far, my trained dudes are a Pumkaboo (soon to be Gourgeist), Noivern and Tyrantrum. I also trained a Dedenne before learning that it doesn't get any decent Fairy moves. Someone Wonder Traded me an Adamant Huge Power Azuril, so I'm thinking of training an Azumaril as well. I'd also like to make a Dry Skin Heliolisk, a Talonflame, Dragoo, Pangoro and Clawitzer.
