Zoran posted:Let the legendaries have babies, Game Freak. Does Cosmog count? I find it weirdly fitting that the Tapu, Ultra Beast, Silvally, the Cosmog family and Necrozma all fit most of the standard definitions of "Legendary Pokémon" but at the same time, none of them fits them all. Sun and Moon's main theme appears to be bucking established trends after all.

The fact Silvally can't breed and they give it to you at level 40 is the worst . I wanna travel with my hosed up chimera-god not get it at level 40.

Except maybe the rest of Poni island but because of scaling XP it's not that hard to catch up to where it can at least live through a fight there.

C'mon TPCI know your own game source: https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/29d5abd6-bddc-4b65-a99f-f332bba6b1fb Battle of Alola Retrospective posted:Moongeist Beam has the added effect of ignoring the effect of the target’s Ability, most notably opposing Lunala’s Shadow Shield and Mimikyu’s Disguise. Perhaps the move that most separated top Trainers from the rest of the field was Roost. Only 28.7% of the Lunala used in the competition overall were taught Roost, but five of the six Lunala in the top 10 were taught this key healing move.

I managed to get through the doubles battle tree today. Was pretty fun using Pokemon that I bred from previous games. Sure do regret moving Pokemon up to gen six though since I lose access to all the move tutors. Won with Porygon-Z (expert belt), Clefable (left overs), Muk (balloon), Rhyperior (assault vest). Started with Muk and Rhyperior which gave me tons of coverage (Muk had Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Gunk Shot, Shadow Sneak. Rhyperior had Mega Horn, Ice Punch, Earthquake, Stone Edge). Then Clefable and Porygon-Z cover physical walls with Porygon-Z's Thunderbolt, Dark Pulse, Tri Attack, Ice Beam and Clefable's Moon Blast, Phychic, Flamethrower, Shadow Ball. Left over Clefable saved my rear end tons of times.

Countblanc posted:what's their reasoning? he seems super good this gen The main issue seems to be that there's some stall teams that use him that are pretty good that nobody likes playing against. It looks to be a bit of a rehash of the Mega-Sableye/Gothitelle stall team argument from last gen.

To be fair, Dugtrio ended up getting a completely unnecessary buff. It did not need that extra 20 attack.

Duggy stall has enabled some degenerate bullshit such as Shedinja stall and generally adds another nightmarish mindgame when playing vs a competent stall player since they can often predict, double switch (or volt-turn/baton pass) and eat your Metagross-Mega alive Plus the whole being able to easily revenge kill a lot of things without any issue

I've been messing around with building a bot to play singles on Showdown. Would people be interested in me posting status updates on that? Right now it, uh, picks moves randomly and never switches. But that just means there's a lot of progress I can make!
