Improbable Lobster posted:Chaining Grimer for Power Of Alchemy was easy since I could just knock out the old one to check for the HA. Intimidate will reapply itself when Muk gains it. Surge moves will also apply the terrain again, which is nice if your Tapu dies since you get one last chance to overwrite their terrain.

I know that virtually everyone associates the moon with night, but I still see the moon in the day for about two weeks out of the month. Meanwhile, I'm more upset that I can't catch a Rotom in this game that has a Rotom living in my Pokédex.

The whole time displacement might've been also done to give more practical reasons to buy a specific version. Of course if you didn't know about that beforehand, yeah that's gonna suck.

TheKingofSprings posted:So how hard are HA Mareanie to catch? They're an even bigger pain in the rear end than most HAs, because not only are the SOS only, they attack the SOS-er so you can't just use false swipe. Plus you have to check it every time because only Limber will show up in battle, and the pokemon you have to chain is Corsola which will heal itself out of SOS range.

The whole type chart falls apart if you think too much about it, even the ones that make sense at first glance don't - like fresh grass/wood is actually not that great at burning due to all the water in them, the melting point for steel is so high you'd have an easier time burning most other things first, birds eat bugs because they are small, not because birds have some inherit advantage against insects...

Well, birds are bigger than the insects they eat and might have a beak that lets them get to bugs hiding in holes. I guess you could say that it's an inherent advantage.

Neither which would apply to say, pidgey vs caterpie, since most bug pokemon are as big, and sometimes bigger than the flying types.

I don't understand people who say the type chart DOESN'T make sense. Apart from one or two matchups, basically all of them make some immediate logical sense.

Gen 1 psychic types were super OP. Gen 2 added Steel and Dark, both good against Psychic. I think this is purely a mecanical balancing act, without them having to directly nerf Psychic. (Back in the day)

Yeah it's easy to argue most steel types possess brains that aren't handled well by psychics, and forms with extra reinforcement.

Dark type is good for NPCs because apparently all my favorite Pokémon are Ghost type and I'll be damned if nearly everything in the game doesn't know some form of Dark move.

Let me tell you I was bummed when I found out Pallossand can't even wall a Gyarados because every single one is packing friggin Crunch. Water Compaction is cool in concept but it just doesn't work anywhere.

That ability really should also negate water like flash fire/sap sipper does. As is I just don't see much point outside of some weird water shuriken gimmick in doubles. Another weird one is salazzle where the ability is fun in concept but it lacks the bulk to pull it off, so in most cases where you could poison something you otherwise couldn't, you are probably better off fire blasting it anyway. Corrosion would be much better on something like toxapex, whos merciless would actually fit salazzle better too.

During my Castform quest I figured Decidueye would be great for chaining normal or fighting types, but nope, every one I fought had a dark type move.
