It's not germane to Stealth Rocks but I would like to know why competitive Pokemon has bizarre tiers based on metagame analysis and no points-based balancing like virtually every other (non-card) game where you select what to use from a list of game assets. Seeing as the phone game and now Let's Go assign Pokemon overall power numbers, there is probably a framework for balancing lists in place there that just needs to be grown. Every miniatures game in existence does this.

Usage with banlists is likely a better meta than some points based thing, idk. Smogon is not an official Nintendo thing, AFAIK no one is really getting paid

I don't mind no national dex but mega evos are much better than dynamaxing. Also the wild area looks like a cool version of the safari zone so i hope they expand it

im so shook.
Went to the store, bought some snacks and was in line for the midnight release.

Some random dude came up and got in my face and asked why I just kicked his car
and just would not believe i didn't do it

I offered to go to managers about it so he could watch the video and he said no

w t f

His mom came in with him a few minutes later and started taking pictures of me. he was in his early 20's i guess.

got my pokemon game tho

How do you check a Mon's IVs?

Do you get money from Battle Tower Battles?

Are Battle Tower battles doable with non-minmaxed pokemon?

Win 6? Battles in tower to get the IV checker.

No but you get a better currency, BP.

You can get pretty high with your in-game team or just rent the rain team and never lose

Yes and no. It is, technically, possible according to a few forums. However, it requires two Switches--one unhacked--and the unhacked one had to be made before September 2018 or so before Nintendo implemented a patch that is really good at detecting and banning certain things in online play.

I'm sure people will figure out how to make it easier eventually, but my personal experience as primarily a breeder and Surprise Trader is that I haven't seen any obviously hacked mons yet after a hundred+ trades, which is a far cry from the flood that was SuMo.

I mean people on the big streams are talking about their pkhex'd mons since about 2 days ago.

Edit^^^:HA scorbunny isn't available yet but I'm fairly certain they're already being traded.

Vitamins are still expensive - running gigantamax meowth through the champions cup might still be a slower EV training method than filling an entire party with mons to be EV trained at one time.

Perhaps gigantamax meowth in the battle tower to farm pokedollars and BP at the same time. Shame about his stats though

The only balls you should ever have end-game are net, quick, repeat, and dusk. Maybe a couple ultra balls for first time catches that aren't in raid dens(which count as night time)

Is there a good site that explains some of the basic concepts and strategies doubles? I've found bits and pieces here and there, but a lot of what I've seen hasn't been updated in years (so I'm not sure how mechanics/viable pokemon have changed) or have articles that go into huge depth about advanced mechanics but don't have much info on the fundamentals.

https://pikalytics.com/pokedex/

Wolfe glicke and Aaron zheng youtube channels are good.

Nugget Bridge used to be the vgc equivalent of the smogon forums but I think it's dead now so the smogon vgc forums are fine

Acrobatics+Flying Gem was basically a z-move, wasn't it? You need a specific hold item that has no other purpose, it's just one type, hits like an absolute truck.

Yeah but talon flame was the bird of choice and that meant even after the priority 180 BP acro you still got priority 120bp acro afterwards.

I just finished a Singles draft a week ago, I definitely recommend setting one up if it sounds interesting. It helps to have a discord server where you can ping people when it's their turn to draft to keep things from dragging.

I'm thinking a VGC style one, since theres a million singles draft leagues out there already.

Yeah I realized i had to re-make the server, so here's a new link https://discord.gg/6c4rJGQ

https://draft-league.nl/public/pages/leaguetier.php?league=118

this is their banlist - the way it works is a standard snake draft, you can draft one g-max pokemon and that's the only mon on your team that can dynamax. I'll get a write-up for it before the league starts.

Holy... poo poo. I moved probably 60 or 70 pokemon from home to sword, then played for a while. I played some fire emblem, and then booted sword back up again and all of them are missing. Literally all of the pokemon I moved over are missing and my game got reset back a couple of days. I definitely saved.

Unless you somehow loaded up an earlier cloud save I don’t understand how that’s possible since any saves would be after the transfer. Are you sure you didn’t change profiles by accident or something?

I don't know how it would load an older save.

Maybe I didn't wait for the save to finish on sword or something. So it just saved on home after it transfered but then never saved after they got on sword.
