Serebii's put together a list of updated attacks.

Energy Ball finally has the same attack power as Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Ice Beam/Surf. I feel like I've been waiting for this moment my entire life. :allears:

Some interesting changes in that list. Looks like most of the high-end damaging moves have been toned down slightly, while the lesser ones have generally been boosted. Also, Low Sweep has changed from 60 to 65 Base Power, which I can only assume was done specifically to nerf Technician Breloom.

Storm Throw is apparently now 60 Base Power, which would effectively make it a 120 Base Power move with no drawbacks -- except I'm pretty sure critical hits themselves have been weakened from 2x damage to around 1.5x, so it's really only 90.

Been wonder trading all day, it's very addictive, though the only creative name I found so far was Dangermouse, the pikachu.

Cmon people, give me funny pokemon names for my Goomy!

Not the actual name, they came from Japan. Lv 17 and I haven't even left the first catch route :stare:

Name it Sploosh. That's the sound I imagine they make.

Holy poo poo, gently caress horde battles. They take goddamn forever to get through, and eat up so many resources. It took my L10 Squirtle, plus my L15 Zigzagoon and Fennekin just to put down 5 L5 Gulpins.

Look at it this way, with that and the nerfs to Flamethrower et al. you have a reason to use stuff like Discharge and Heat Wave.

Is there a way for pikachu to learn it's signature move without breeding? I just caught an adamant one, which is perfect.

Huh, just wonder traded a pansear and got an adamant pansage. I don't plan on using it, but it's nature is good. Man, I think I'd feel bad if I just keep trading low level crap pokemon on it.

Not like I can do any better right now though!

Give it an everstone and breed it with a female/male pikachu with light orb. Otherwise, no I believe not.

I can't get the event torchic until thanksgiving... Can't figure out college fireall stuff on my ds.

Okay guys, I started with Croakie/Charmander in Y, should I do Fennekin/Bulbasaur Squirtle or Chespin/Bulbasaur Squirtle or one of those two with Bulbasaur instead?

In Y I'm up to the third gym after being up until 6am

gently caress wild Pokemon, every time you catch something you have to immediately put it on wonder trade and use whatever comes out. Get on it.
