Speaking of Manectric, has someone found out yet what happens when a Mega evolved pokemon uses moves like Trick/Switcheroo? I'm pretty much sure that various other megas also have access to those.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Actually some might. Since the initial release we've known the mega-forms give access to new moves some times (Mega Kangaskahn gets Power-Up Punch for example.) Are you sure it can only get it while mega? Also, that's going to be a nice one to use while mega.

Pyroi posted:Why can't they use their hacking abilities for good, rather than evil? Will they never learn to rip the game apart before hacking in pokemon? As long the resulting hacked mon is completely feasible/legal, I wouldn't call it evil. That means waiting until December, although is way too much waiting. Also, what is said above about encripted game content, I would be both surprised and not that GTS data were not encripted.

And if it does get a Mega, I'd bet it will do the exact same as Charizard's megas, just to keep the same stats thing going.

Probably it willg et that back next time move tutors are in. Not like it would really help, it would only provide coverage against Dragons and nothing else, Dragon moves without STAB aren't very good.

Haven't played competitively (actually not at all) since over a year and a half ago and planning to hit Showdown while gen 6 is still fresh but not too new. Did it end becoming an ultraoffensive mess or are thing like dual screen offense still viable?horriblePencilist posted:

horriblePencilist posted:What do you mean, end becoming? Was it ever not a terrible reign of stage hazards and fast sweepers? But yeah, you can totally pull off support characters. A lot of people underestimate how bulky some Mons can get, and if you have a bulky dual screener like Audino, it's easy to stay alive unless you run facefirst into an SE attack. Mostly my own predictions after seeing the latest changes in this new gen, and trending from gen 5 being considerably more easy for all out offensive teams. Never actually tried Audino for screening, I favored Bronzong and Claydol gor that. The Leper Colon V posted:X/Y is actually really lacking in Move Tutors. The only moves tutorable right now are the Pledge moves, the typed Hyper Beams, and Draco Meteor. I'm sure that's something else they're holding onto until Z. That's what they usually do, yeah.

WrightOfWay posted:Klefki has priority dual screens and fantastic typing. Only decent bulk and no recovery can be a problem if you want something that can set up screens multiple times per game, though. Recovery would have been nice but Bronzong didn't have it either, don't remember if Claydol does but I didn't use it. It's mostly for setting then up once and then be able to set up a sweeper with more ease.

Volcanion better get Autotomize or something similar because it isn't going to really go anywhere with that speed, and the defenses are just enough to take a hit.

dude789 posted:There are counters to evasion. I think we discussed this a bit earlier in the topic but aside from Haze, there's the never miss attacks, pokemon with No Guard or Unaware and a few others. The sixth gen also brings a couple new counters to Evasion in the changes to Roar/Whirlwind and perfect accuracy toxic from poison types along with Defog which more people are running now. There may be more counters to paraflinch, but it takes much less time to set up which I think evens them out by a whole lot. If the Togekiss or Jirachi sets up the paralysis the other pokemon immediately has a .3 chance to act. Whereas even when Evasion is maxed it's a .33 chance to hit and that takes at least 3 turns to max out. Evasion itself isn't the problem, evasion tanks are. Something that not only can take a hit (or a lot of hits), but also straight out ignore most attacks and shrug off most if not all always hit moves and it gets very annoying very fast if not ready for it, and then probably with most teams running evasion plus anti evasion and it just stops being fun. You have a point on that there are more ways to counter evasion now, maybe it will get unbanned in the future if gets less and less viable. Also doesn't blissey get minimize? Rangpur posted:I say this both as a man who regularly has to fight his friend's Contrary Shuckle, and who spent 10 minutes stalling with a Gliscor until the opponent's Carbink struggled itself to death.

Amperor posted:Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites That line always struck to me as the kind of stuff an angry teen would say after losing in an online game. "Good pokemons are op, pls nerf" Geostomp posted:There's no "might" about it. Ice/Rock is the absolute worst defensive typing possible (for the record, Fairy/Steel is the best). Unfortunately, in-keeping with Gamefreak's usual "opposite" approach to mutually exclusive pokemon, Aurorus was forced into the role of a slow, pseudo special sponge to contrast Tyrantrum being a physical destroyer (not that he's all that great at that, but still). Which means that great potential for attacking and ability is almost completely wasted on the frozen sauropod. Gamefreak approach to competitive is making GBS threads out a bunch of pokemons and see which ones stick, then tell you to play doubles because totally everyone likes doubles and why would you play anything else but doubles. qnqnx fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Apr 8, 2014 |

Seriously, Stealth Rock forever bending the Metagame to its will is okay, but changing up your team a bit to beat Baton Pass by running Haze/Whirlwind/Dragon Tail or Perish Song, or priority, or Ghost-Curse, or anything else that fucks up Baton Pass is unacceptable? I could see the "limit to three Baton Passers" even if I disagreed with it, but this is just flat-out saying "we don't want to change to deal with Baton Pass, so we're banning it". It's also not a complete ban on baton pass.
