DeadBonesBrook: May 31, 2011; How do you do, fellow Regis?

Would someone be able to trade me a Litten? The Euro version of the game just dropped, and I want to use one alongside Rowlet (as I really like both). Its just for the single player campaign, so I'm not too concerned about stats.

I'm just annoyed at Fetus in particular. Everyone else was caught in the crossfire so sorry, but seriously, that was a terrible answer to a simple question.

It came up in the natural flow of conversation.

Oh uh, sorry about that. Force of habit on explaining what they do. Also I legitimately forgot about the level 100 requirement. :v:

Butterfree is a useful 'mon in general, if you don't have a full team yet and can use him to fill a dummy slot. Learns stun spore to prevent backup pokemon, poisonpowder to deal with any particularly nasty totem pokemon (aside from lurantis :argh:

), and compoundeyes still works if you leave him fainted in the first slot. Not sure if he can learn thief, though, so you might have to have him fainted if hunting for items.

cancerianmoth: Oct 18, 2012

Ok. I have consistently noticed this using my sandygast v paras and I can't figure out if it is bc sandygast is paralyzed or bc of bug typing. Sand Tomb will not do more dmg on the next turns. I set infestation, then I do sand tomb. Usually, on other types, at the end of the opponents turn sand tomb will go, then infestiation. But against paras- sand tomb never goes.

Anyone else want to help me figure this out?

To be fair, there is some weight to it. Necrozma's image file name on the official site was flat out something along the lines of "3rdlegendary" on the official site.

Whether whatever game will feature it will be a 3rd version, or something like a sequel like B2W2, or if the game will flat out not exist remains to be seen, though.

Yeah, I'm fine with leaving him fainted, I mostly specified both in case there was something that was a perfect solution with no setup.

Phrosphor: Feb 25, 2007; Urbanisation

Celesteela is just ruining my day online. Has anyone found a strong check to it yet? Leftovers + Leech Life and that typing make for a very robust pokemon. Fire types just get wrecked with Earthquake and it seems to be so bulky. I am probably hamstringing myself by not using any UBs, but I generally don't enjoy playing with legendaries.

My man Minior is a lot of fun if he gets to setup and Golisipod is a monster with First Impression, you can use it more often than you want and it is the perfect answer to a Sash or Sturdy dude KO'ing your own friend. Toxapex is also a fun little mindgame dude with Bunker.

Most is still trash pokemon because people are just starting, but some people (myself included) like to breed starters and other interesting things and toss 'em in.

I mean, a lot of this was also true of Zygarde along with a ton of other circumstantial evidence and we saw how that turned out.

... why did they call the Super-Moves Z moves anyways?

Eurogamer reported on it and they're riding high with how seriously people take them after their Switch stuff, plus someone in Pokemon did say that a game was being made for the Switch.

It probably won't actually be called "stars" since it's just the code-name and we have no idea what it'll entail, maybe it'll literally just be SM in HD or perhaps more in line with BW2.
