also Waranmo was a fucker, I seem to recall. oakleyman and him, and some big gently caress-off dog-shaped brick shithouse

All Waranmo ever did for me was try and fail to eat bananas. It was the fire breathing cat that hosed me up right good. I miss this game tbh.

This is a good thing you have done.

New page, new unpopular opinion: The ONLY downsides to getting Moon are WereShadow and UB-Beauty. Yes I am aware Gumshoos is Sun exclusive. Faticate is in fact better.

Also holy poo poo Oranguru is my dude.

Oh but if Robinhoot isn't the Moon version of Rowlet I will kill myself irl.

it's ability is unique and seems really good, a free substitute (altho it doesn't block statuses) means it will at least always be able to set-up something if it needs too

guess it all depends on it's movepool, i have a feeling it's stats will be kinda low

it has really good typing too, 3 good immunities and only 2 weaknesses

GARVASE DAY!

What bothers me about the genies is that the tail coming out of the clouds just loops around front and... awkwardly hangs there. It looks like it should go back in the front of the cloud and form a sash or something. Also the fact they're loving identical but old news.

I guess someone had to absorb the leftover bad after they made all of Gen V incredibly good. :colbert:

cancerianmoth posted:

I know baton pass isn't used in doubles often if ever, but couldn't it work with eevee? Have the other pokemon use follow me. If the pokemon survives bring in a boosted rugby lemur, steal the ability, bring in the last partner and sweep? I don't get to play doubles so I don't know.

I'm pretty set on moon? I like rugby lemur but I can always trade for it. I usually don't end up using version exclusives anyway, so I just like moon stuff. It would also make sense to have version exclusive final evolutions. I mean, GF should do it to just change it up. Next gen they'll do stone evos for the final forms. haha

It could work, but Doubles is very fast paced and as soon as that became a staple there'd be a counterplay of Taunt. Either Taunt the Follow Me pokemon (Who now can't use Follow Me again) or taunt the Eevee (who is no longer protected by Follow Me after that turn, and now can't use Baton Pass).

It's novel and it's neat and it'll probably rip like RU tiers apart, and it's definitely cute and good and fun, but competitive wise it won't be that bad.

they wanted a legendary trilogy and they hewed a little bit too close to the "similar design aesthetic" that trilogies tend to have

They banned multiple baton passers on one team and passing speed plus anything else. So you can pass speed or attack/sp. Attack/def/sp. Def

Good luck living long enough to use em.

Baton Pass is a degenerate move honestly. A lot of pokemon are roughly balanced around what kind of stat boosters they have in their movepool (Garchomp getting Swords Dance and not Dragon Dance is like the Ur-example here). And with a lot of good speed boost Baton Passers this gen (Scolipede most notably) it gets a little ridiculous.

Smogon rules are bad anyway (biggest problem for me is their banning of a lot of things except stealth rock). BUT before anyone chimes in- I don't care. I don't use their rules. When I battle friends we usually just put a BST limit and try to have gimmicky af teams. Like my all cat team. Another suggestion I heard was having a team total BST so that you can have the amount of pokemon on your team as the budget allows. So if you want all legendaries, fine but you'll end up with fewer pokemon than your opponent.

I feel like going by BST gives some pokemon a huge advantage over others though. Pokemon with good stat allocation (Scizor for example) are worth less than things like Goodra, Metagross or Hydreigon. Or more blatantly Articuno, Moltres or Entei.

Like I get banning or limiting Legendaries but ability, movepool and typing play a huge role in what pokemon are good and bad.
