Why would you do that to yourself.

Quick breeding question! I have a couple of same-species monsters and the daddy has a Hidden Ability, is there any chance for it to be passed down to the resulting babby, or do I absolutely need to use a Ditto? Thank!

You have to use a Ditto for a male/gender less 'mon with a HA, which also means they can't pass down pokeballs.

I hope in Sun and Moon there are new types of Pokeballs with new color schemes.

There haven't been any added since Gen IV (unless you count Dream balls) and there's like 10 balls exclusive to G/S and HG/SS.

I want more interesting color schemes.

Who don't have evos, retypings or mega-evolutions. And while some are really good pokemon that don't need them (Forettress, Skarmory, Donphan) or have usable gimmicks (Jumpluff, Wobbuffet, Quagsire, Mantine, Xatu) The rest could really use the boost.

Ragepowder/status gimmicks in doubles when they aren't letting mythics/legendaries in mostly. I was scraping the bottom of the barrel there a bit.

Quagsire is an OU/stall team staple and a pain in the rear end to deal with. Let's not give him any buffs please.

I'd add the starters to that list though. All three of them are kind of garbage. :sigh:

Feraligatr really isn't, its perfectly usable as is. Its just overshadowed because there are a fuckton of strong water types with good movepools and abilities. Dragon Dance/Sheer Force is really good.

Meganium and Typhlosian are real garbage though.

Played my first match on Pokémon Showdown and won it! :3:

Florges owns, Mega Aerodactyl owns, Pangoro doesn't precisely own but is at least reasonably good, having Stealth Rock and Spikes on two pokemon with shared weaknesses is kind of questionable in retrospect and I probably want to at least run Explosion on Forretress! :toot:

People quit on low ladder showdown a lot for a bunch of reasons

1) they're alt accounts trying to run gimmick teams and you broke the gimmick somehow so they leave

2) they don't really have a viable win condition left so rather than spend 20 turns flailing around they just leave

3) they're a literal child

4) it's low ladder so losing rating generally means little which means people don't mind just leaving for random irl stuff instead of finishing a game

5) they legit rage quit

6)??????

Basically don't take anything sub-1500 add indicative of, well, anything

It still could have been a good game. His Metagross could have taken your Florges and his Mamoswine could have maybe taken your Metagross and Mega Aerodactyl. On the other hand your Metagross could have taken his Mamoswine and your Mega Aerodactyl could have possibly taken his Metagross. He had the better chance of coming out on top and it would depend on movesets and how you used your Metagross. Maybe he did not have Bullet Punch or Ice Shard and could not deal with the Aerodactyl.
