Icy Penguigo posted:The cutoff is even more extreme than that, unless they changed the formula in gen 5 or 6. Hariyama's defenses are closer to the cutoff iirc (144/60/60) My calculations were for level 50, so that might have something to do with it.

I still can't decide which sableye set to use, even after I bred trick onto them. Knock Off / Will-o-Wisp / Confuse Ray / Recover or Knock Off / Will-o-Wisp / Trick [lagging tail] / Recover or Will-o-Wisp / Taunt / Trick [lagging tail] / Recover or Foul Play / Toxic / Confuse Ray / Recover anyone else care to weigh in?

I really like the second one when it comes to support roles, but sableye has become much less viable since they now are prone to Fairy type moves. still that lagging tail place right can truly break some pokemon. Out of all of them, this seems the most versatile.

Fairy coverage moves aren't entirely common on non-fairy pokemon, making it really easy to play around his one weakness.

I'm glad this generation finally created a niche for Xatu. With Magic Bounce, it can safely switch into any Prankster user most of the time, but unlike Espeon, it can hit both Sableye (with Dazzling Gleam) and Klefki (with Heat Wave) super effectively. Murkrow, Volbeat, Illumise, Riolu, Liepard, and Whimsicott are less common, but it has more answers to all three of those as well, and it can usually just overpower Meowstic. Mega Banette, Tornadus, and Thundurus still give it problems, but then, when don't they? It's still not the strongest or most versatile pokemon out there, and Pursuit still ruins its day, but being very specifically an anti-Prankster is an interesting enough role that it's no longer painful for my team to include one of my favorite designs.

Hammerite posted:It would probably be good if someone could create a new megathread. I'm (hopefully) going to be starting a new job soon and I don't really have the time right now to keep the OP updated. You should feel free to re-use any or all of the stuff that's in the current OP. I don't think a new OP would be necessary if you're just concerned about events. The people who keep up with that sort of thing just get their info from serebii or wherever. It's like any thread regulars are continually hitting F5 on page 1. Either way, event distributions are infrequent and last long enough that you'd probably only need to update the OP once a month, if that.

Crosscontaminant posted:So what you're saying is Mega Arceus will have Protean in Gen VII. I've been thinking about this. This would be the most imbalanced thing ever as far as Pokemon games go. I like the idea, but man would that slaughter so many teams. I guess if it had Portean it wouldn't have Multitype. Would the move Judgement still be the type Mega Arceus current turned into under Protean without a held plate item?

Pureauthor posted:Mew should have Protean. I like this idea. It is canon that Mew has the DNA of everyone Pokémon in it and Mew can use transform. Also, I was watching this video on Youtube and I just learned that Wonder Guard cannot be Role Played or Skill Swapped. There goes my plan to make a really good gimmick team by taking Shedinja's Wonder Guard ability. That's lame they just said "Can't copy Wonder Guard." Is the only way to remotely get Wonder Guard on a non-Shedinja to use "Trace" ? Even that is highly unpredictable (your opponent would have to send out Shedinja)

Unown needs to have Protean. Truly it is the missing puzzle piece that would finally make it competitively viable.

In rotation battles, does Truant count turns even when the Pokemon isn't the active one? Like, if I attack with Slaking, rotate him out the next turn, and then rotate him back in, is he good to attack or does he have to take the loafing turn still?

In rotation battles, pokemon who aren't in the front position don't do anything. They're basically "paused." Sleep and Toxic counters don't advance, Hyper Beam and Giga Impact don't recharge, and Slaking doesn't finish loafing around.
