Xerneas is also an absolutely unbelievable horror if it manages to get Z-Geomancy off. +1 Attack +1 Def +3 Sp. Attack, + 3 Sp. Def, +3 Speed. You have to spend a turn charging but sweet merciful Satan have pity on anything trying to stand in it's way afterwards.

So how does Geomancy and Mat Block sound for a combo? I dunno what Greninja's utility would be after the fact, though.

That would prevent Xerneas from doing anything else for 2 turns, compared to Power Herb Geomancy only taking 1 turn to set up. Could be powerful, but also very risky. But setting up a Z-Geomancy in Mega Ray's face is just suicidal.

I can't figure out why they would ditch this and keep rotation. unless they got rid of rotation too. I used a Trick room with Volcarona redirecting in the center. Either Redirect and set up Trick Room or Heat Wave and burn everything while setting up Trick Room. Worked pretty well.

Xurkitree, one of the UBs, has 173 SpAtk (beaten only by Deoxys-A and megas Mewtwo, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Alakazam), learns Tail Glow, and increases its SpAtk every time it KOs something :stare:

The National Dex does not exist in Sun and Moon, it's attached to the Pokemon Bank. The Shiny Charm is simply obtained by completing the regional dex. The Oval Charm is obtained through beating Morimoto in a battle.

Kartana Was the one I thought was broken, 109 Speed, 181 Att, +1 Att per kill, access to Swords Dance, Grass/Steel typing and some pretty good coverage. Crap SpD but it doesn't really matter as much since a fire attack will take it out pretty fast regardless.

You can still catch Pokemon outside of the regional dex, but they won't have a dex entry or a dex number. You have to pay for it since you can only use it through Pokebank because that's the feature Game Freak decided to get rid of this time for the sweet :10bux:.

All of the countries of Pokeworld have united together under a single flag as one nation. The tradeoff for world peace is that household pests breathe fire.

So is Pokebank going to be updated with a better pokedex feature? Is there just no in-game dex at all for foreign pokemon. The game's never seem to much reward catching em all very much even though it's the most elaborate task you can complete.

Okay, so now Poke Bank is more vital than ever, but I'm mostly okay with this. It's not like having the National Dex did much unless the game unlocked new areas for it.

It does lead to a bizarre situation where Greninja gets a profile in-game, but not its lower forms.

The National Dex is moved to Pokemon Bank because Game Freak wanted to add cross-game tracking. Doesn't matter which game it's from, anything you upload to bank adds to your National Dex.
