Parrotine posted:Anyone got a spare one of these dudes for trade? I have Moon so I got stuck with the lovely Lady GaGa one Been having the same issue, trying to trade one of my Pheromosas for a Buzzwole but no takers. Now you might have better luck trading your Celesteela for the Buzzwole, and using one of your Pheromosas for a Kartana. Since apparently in Sun they apparently have to catch four Kartanas, and two Buzzwoles (a fact I did not learn until after I had already traded my spare Celesteela for a Kartana). Edit: Also Pheromosa isn't lovely and you are a bad person

My girlfriend just found her first shiny ever in her very first Pokemon game. It was a shiny Pikipek. When she found out about shinies she was stressing the entire game thinking she'd accidentally kill one or not notice it was a shiny, glad she got it.

Eifert Posting posted:Planning my bug team for after pokebank update. Mandatory 4 are Monotype teams are fun! Here's an idea for a somewhat more competitive-oriented Bug team, but of course you can use this kind of stuff in single-player too: Vikavolt @ Choice Specs Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature - Discharge - Bug Buzz - Flash Cannon - Volt Switch Vikavolt hits really really hard but is really really slow. You just want to nuke things with your 145 base Special Attack and Choice Specs. Flash Cannon hits Fairies. If you're ever unsure what to do, just click Volt Switch. Vikavolt is your main weapon against Toxapex, which otherwise laughs at Bugs. Volcarona @ Leftovers Ability: Flame Body EVs: 248 HP / 208 SpD / 52 Spe Calm Nature - Quiver Dance - Roost - Fiery Dance - Giga Drain Volcarona absolutely destroys Steel-types, which your Bug types are going to have a hard time with. This version has a lot of Special Defense because you need something that can handle strong Fire moves and also powerful Electric and Psychic attacks, which are abundant with all the Tapus this gen. Volcarona's also a win condition: if it sets up two Quiver Dances, it should easily sweep almost any team. Heracross @ Choice Scarf Ability: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Megahorn - Close Combat - Knock Off - Stone Edge Scarf Heracross has a pair of really strong STAB attacks, and it demolishes Rock and Steel types. Knock Off covers Ghosts, and Stone Edge hits Flying-types. Moxie is a nice ability, but Guts lets you punish status moves like Will-O-Wisp and Toxic. Araquanid @ Assault Vest Ability: Water Bubble EVs: 248 HP / 160 Atk / 100 SpA Brave Nature - Liquidation - Surf - Leech Life - Mirror Coat Araquanid is the only Bug that resists Fire, and it has really strong Special Defense, so we'll throw on an Assault Vest to help it handle all the Fire moves it's going to tank. Water Bubble makes Water moves incredibly strong, so you'll want to use them most of the time. Leech Life gives you a little bit of recovery, and Mirror Coat is a fun surprise—you can tank special Flying moves and retaliate. So those are the four mons you wanted. To round out the team, here's what I'd go with: Scizor @ Scizorite Ability: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 80 Def / 172 SpD Impish Nature - U-turn - Defog - Bullet Punch - Roost Mega Scizor's typing and defensive stats make it an awesome tank. You've also got utility in Defog, which this team desperately needs because Bug is weak to Stealth Rock. Forretress @ Red Card Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Rapid Spin - Stealth Rock - Toxic Spikes - Volt Switch This is your emergency tool in case you're facing something that sets up on you, like Dragon Dance Charizard-X. Forretress also brings entry hazards and more hazard control with Rapid Spin. Zoran fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Dec 28, 2016 |

Zoran posted:bug team I'm not fond of a purely defensive/supportive m-scizor set in general but it's certainly a place to go given the tools available. It's a good balanced team for sure. I'd also consider m-beedril or m-pinsir in m-scizor's place. It leaves you with only one hazard remover which is risky since your team is very vulnerable to rocks, but it lets you keep accumulating momentum on a team that is mostly offensively oriented while scizor often costs you momentum with that set.

Beedrillite doesn't exist at the moment, but yes, you could go with Mega Pinsir on a more offensive team.

Why are these new pokemon so slow? I don't think I've seen so many pokemon get slower when they evolve since they added all those previous gen evolutions in gen4. I mean seriously, why is this  slower than this?  I mean Vikavolt looks fast, but it doesn't even top 60. Also it's really dumb that Incinroar gets slower when it evolves. I mean it kind of makes sense visually, since he's a biped who skipped leg day but from a gameplay perspective it's cruel to do a bait and switch with a starter like that. And none of the starters go past 100 what gives? Also is trick room mandatory in doubles now? Dabir posted:Fire > steel isn't melting, it's the steel conducting heat really well so the Pokémon cooks to If that's the case, why isn't steel weak to electric? Zoran posted:larva It's really dumb that larvitar goes into a cocoon and comes out as just a larger version of it's previous form. I mean bagon grew wings when it emerged as a salamence, but larvitar to tyranitar isn't really a metamorphosis.
