So Alola Rattatas are dark types and in their description are compared to a crime mob running amok in cities with Alola Raticates being compared to mob bosses.

Yungoos was brought into Alola to deal with a pest pokemon problem, and Gumshoos is literally a detective mongoose.

We've got rodent crime wars going on in Alola :allears:

poo poo I didn't even catch that, that is brilliant though. Throw in some Honchkrow and Scrafty and make it a flat out gang war. that'd be sweet as hell.

Anybody know how I can find hidden ability murkrow? I'd like to breed a female in a luxury ball and finding these things is insanity.

The worst rival is the one is R/S because they just sort of did nothing and disappear halfway through the game.

Weird thing about R/S or at least the remakes; the team leaders felt more like proper rivals then actual villains. Not bad per say but very odd. And yeah whoever you select as your rival in game May/Brendan is pretty bad as far as rivals go. Wally kinda sorta steps up to the plate at the end, but for that fun antagonistic relationship the team leaders fill that niche pretty dang well.

Those are good but then you have like

Aerodactyl and Sharpedo and Tyranitar

My favorites ones are probably Abomasnow and Banette, more Megas are good rather than are bad

Mega Banette is loving glorious and should have been a final evo. I can say the same for gallade , scizor, medicham and mawile. In some cases mega evolution actually finishes a design and gives it what's desperately been missing. In other cases it looks like they went to the bargain bin and stapled a buncha glitter n' poo poo on there. Mega Garchomp's kinda a mix though. The spikes are a bit much but that jaw is terrifyingly good.

When I'm breeding 'mons, is it more important that they have a beneficial nature, or strong IVs? I've hatched about 3 dozen of the same critter so far, and I'm willing to settle for 1 or the other instead of waiting to hit both.

Get a solid nature first preferably on the female. Work on IV's as you go. Do you know how to use a destiny knot and a everstone?

season 4 was the worst with it though; instead of having one bonus form over the others the main two dudes got three more forms two of which required them to absorb the powers of the other kids

I may sound like a bitter old woman, but what sticks with me the most was that girls were rarely if ever in the special kick rear end snowflake groups. it was alway give up your powers for the greater good or some poo poo so spiky haired dude can have enough power ups to fight this evil motherfucker right here. I got tired of it really loving fast. Like after the last time it happened my eyes rolled out of my skull into orbit and I just gave up the series right there.

Bancholillymon is still a boss though. Wish she'd actually show up in something outside of the cards.

edit: Although to be fair to Adventure the ending battle truly was an equal experience for everybody. That was a bomb rear end ending.

I have no idea how anybody liked that season myself. It wasn't as horrible as it could be, but still very bad.


It was MegaGargomon that ended the D-Reaper. Justimon and Sakuyamon hit it, yes, but it regenerated just fine a second later, making their attack pointless. I remember this much because of Netflix.

Tamers was the high point in the whole series. Best writing and characterization and then it went downhill from there. Spose' Lovecraft isn't very marketable in the long run.

Aether lady is giving me strong Ragyo vibes. I may be off the mark but I think Lillie and Gladion are her kids and she experimented on both of em'. They didn't much like that poo poo and ran away. Lillie became Ultra Beast 01 and Gladion stole an experimental pokemon to get back at her calling it now. Wouldn't be surprised if his weird movements and shaking during battle are him attempting to suppress generic fuckery.

Also Lusamine has the least compassionate looking face I've ever seen on a female pokemon character who's not a villain. She looks like the world could burn down around her and she could give a poo poo so long as she got hers. Very jazzed to have a sciencey villainess this gon' be good.

X/Y is the only time they've really tried to do a main villain that had a really serious, dark goal. I mean B/W and their sequel had the whole "pokemon slavery" thing but that was just a facade for Ghestis being your standard bad dude.


X/Y. Team Flare itself was goofy at the start but Lysandre was presented in a very serious light, and his goal was very dark for the series. It didn't work at all of course.


One of the rumors thrown around my school as a kid was that you could do something to get the space station at Mossdeep to launch you on a rocket to the moon. That's where you could catch Deoxys! :downs:


And Cyrus having a mental breakdown and attempting to unmake creation then getting dragged to poke-hell by poke satan was a totally light hearted romp. Ghestis was in no way a standard bad dude, he was a cult leader who on more than one occasion attempted to personally murder children including his adopted son. This has been a running theme since Gen 4 what series have you been playing??? Lysnadre's pretty much par the course at this point.

Incidentally, despite the wording of Bruxish and Tsareena's abilities being different in English, they have the exact same wording in Japanese. So the question is at this point, do they affect priority moves, or just the attacks?

I've been seriously puzzling over this. From what I've seen Bruxish's ability make itself immune to priority. Tsareena's however might be a field altering ability. As in during doubles for example, nobody on the other side is a getting a priority move in. There's also the question of how either effects Prankster or Gale wings. It's very hard to tell. Once they've been used in battle maybe someone can specify the details.
