Ka0 posted:Also, would using repeat balls offer a higher catch percentage than an ultra. Yeah, if the pokemon is in your dex its 1.5X as good as an ultra ball. If not it has the same catch rate as pokeballs. Best pokeballs: Quickball- 4X catch rate on first turn Timer Ball- 4X catch rate after 12 turns Dusk Ball- 3.5X catch rate at night or if in a cave/building Net/Repeat/Dive- 3x Ultra- 2.5X Great- 1.5x Poke/Luxury/Heal-1x Zore fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Anime Pikachu once almost caught anime Meowth in a luxury ball, and then they had a die hard standoff on top of a crashed semi.

All Gen 2 pokemon are bad and should honestly just be put straight into the trash and forgotten.

Quick balls might as well be master balls for half the poo poo you see and just peg in the face with one.

Even Heracross has finally been overtaken as Bug/Fighting King by Pinsir, the rightful lord. He's not even fighting type and does Close Combat better than Heracross.

Okay here's an addendum to my statement: GEN 2 has no good pokemon, but it has a few mediocre one's that were saved either with Gen 3's mechanical changes or Gen 4 giving them evolutions that weren't poo poo.

Scizor, Tyranitar, Skarmory, Blissey say lol. Murkrow/Donphan/Crobat/Forretress/Celebi/Suicune have also had several stints of being good even if power creep has out-paced most of them now.

Skarmory is a poo poo bird with 1 set that's been out done over and over by now and Blissey's one entire claim to fame is being so lovely it makes Chansey better by design and mechanically. Gen 2 is the generation of pokemon that were too lovely to make the cut into the first games but hey, we've got most of them done already so we might as well slap them in anyway. They're pokemon that lost out to such inspired designs as Voltorb, Diglet, and Seel. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Aug 22, 2016 |

That's because abilities and then the physical special/split really boosted some but not all pokemon.

You're really flip flopping on if you're talking about mechanics or design. Mechanically, Tyranitar and Scizor are absolute monsters. Designwise, you can just get out of this thread if you don't think Murkrow, Skarmory, Houndoom, Heracross, Crobat and Bellosum are rad as gently caress. It is the weakest gen overall, but it has some really good pokemon still.

I guess I can't see it because avalugg is both mechanically worthless and it looks like something cubchoo left on the ground. But at least it's not ice cream. Look I just want more cool ice types like mamoswine. That thing is a beast. also walrein.

Avalugg really isn't mechanically worthless. It has some intense physical bulk and hits like a freight train, plus it has sturdy and recover. What ice really needs is better physical attacks and way more resistances.

Dexie posted:On that note I JUST found out that the winning Worlds team used Raichu. I assume it was used as a support. I dreamed of running a support raichu with nuzzle in early X/Y since it has a very unique set of abilities with lightning rod and access to fake out, encore and nuzzle, but it didn't work at all and I am bad at doubles. Looks like Wolfe Glick used an assault vest on his and used fake out, volt switch, nuzzle, and endeavor which lets him do a good amount of damage and disrupt setup without being vulnerable to taunts or traps.

Dexie posted:On that note I JUST found out that the winning Worlds team used Raichu. Raichu was good all season because it's able to protect Kyogre (and Yveltal) from electric attacks. Earlier in the season Zap Plate Raichu's Volt Tacke was also used to oneshot enemy Kyogres but it moved away from that as Kyogre started get built with more bulk. I don't believe the Assault Vest Raichus which made Worlds top cut had really been used before that point, at least not that I'd seen.
