Out of all the Rock-types only Nihilego, Tyranitar and Mega Tyranitar are OU... Presumably Mega Diancie will be as well, but that isn't legally available yet.

it's a common misconception but rock is not weak to ice

I haven't played a Pokemon game in like eight years or something since I picked these two up, I'm not surprised I made that mistake. Rock/Ground always being combined has me all messed up.

Still weird that ice isn't' resistant to water.

I'm working my way through Moon right now, and I've more or less completely ignored Festival Plaza. Is there anything in particular I would need it for? Seems pretty useless.

Ice is a tragically underused/undervalued type in Pokemon, which I've never really gotten over. Ice Pokemon are some of my favorites, but they're neither common nor typically useful. It sucks.

I still love my Glaceon and Froslass though :(

Well I think basically all the online stuff is done through the Plaza, but there's nothing really important to do there itself unless you're minmaxing. Dye shops are cool at least, a couple of the events are neat

Lycanroc just needs pokebank to disappear forever so he has near-exclusive access to The Quiet Geodes again

I won the last pokemon tournament at my college lan with a lycanroc on my team because it was the least amount of effort I had to use to get stealth rock. But I think my pheromosa was slightly more responsible for my victory.

It exists so that fat kid who runs it can ask you if you like festival plaza before his trial and if you say no he's just like come on, dude.

Also a bunch of friends and I got it at a midnight release and one of them accidentally went there and was like wow this is pretty cool and just progressively got less excited about it until about five minutes later he was just like it won't let me leave. That was pretty funny

Those are actually alolan magikarp and they evolve into all the other water types based on a combination of the time of day, the game you bought, their IVs, and their friendship level.

Of course, that happened to be a generation before Gamefreak released a move that might as well have been called "gently caress Ice, Fire, Bug, and Flying types".

Having only just now started playing this game, it's pretty funny how heavily it hints towards the inevitable Gen 4 remakes. At least they're forthright about it.

I just finished my Alola dex today, yaaay. First time I've bothered to actually catch all the Mons in a game since waaaay back in Red/Blue.

I still think it's kinda odd that Rock and Ground are two separate types and not just rolled together.

Eh, I'm 50-50 on it. I suppose it's less work for me to keep it as is, though I think I'll get a namechange.

In about 8 or so hours Pokenchi will air with Ohmori appearing. More than likely they want to announce what's in Corocoro before the magazine leaks, which they've done quite a few times before during SM.

They're a trio with Necrozma.

Solgaleo - sun: emits light
Lunala - moon: reflects light
Necrozma - prism: refracts light

ergo they're the light trio
