Well, that explains why fire Gazzelle is so powerful. When I looked it up on the wiki the power looked like it just gave +1 priority to priority moves, not a ridiculous power boost.

MightyPretenders posted:It has a base power of 100, and accuracy of 99.96%. That's all it needs to be. That accuracy is only a Gen 1 thing. Ever since, its 100% accurate (like most moves) unless there is a modifier in effect like sand attack giving you accuracy down or double team increasing the opponent's evasion. In Gen 1 everything but Swift had at least a 1/256 chance to miss but they thankfully dropped that. Zore fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Mar 27, 2017 |

The other thing is that Ground is a very good attacking type, as it hits a few key types super effectively. Only type really walls it (Flying.)

Shiva Asori posted:Worst part is that Inflagetah has a mega form for even more power (145 atk) and speed (175), as if it needed it... Honestly, that almost seems like a waste of a mega evolution: base 175 speed is completely goddamn absurd, but even pre-mega evolution you already outspeed everything but yourself anyways and your main STAB is ~BP100 Fire-type Extreme Speed before STAB. Better to just slap a Life Orb on it instead for even more firepower and go to town on everything outside of bulky waters while saving the Mega to make something else overpowered. As a reminder by the way: STAB Extreme Speed in the actual games is only available on Linoone from an event (note that Linoone is trash even with it), Smeargle (since it learns every move; note the non-existent ATK stat of Smeargle makes it useless), and Arceus (an event legendary best described as God and not remotely balanced in any way whatsoever). That is still weaker than what is present here. Inflagetah may actually have a stronger priority move than anything in the actual Pokemon games. ...does anything in Uranium have access to Drought? Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:snip What the gently caress is that garbage; I don't remember seeing it in the TieTuesday playthrough at all and it's also completely busted. Worth noting for those without knowledge: in actual Pokemon, the Gen 7 games (Sun and Moon) nerfed Gale Wings to only work if you were at 100% HP. This was considered completely justifiable because Talonflame was bullshit even with it's pathetic base attack stat. Gen 6!Gale Wings on something with Base 130 ATK is just ridiculous. What's the strongest physical flying move it gets access to anyways? If it doesn't have anything stronger than Wing Attack it's probably actually not that broken, if it learns Brave Bird then thank god it's Bug/Flying and thus dies to basically everything anyways.

Well an attack stat of 145 actually barely out-damages a Life Orb coming off 100 attack (By like 1 or 2 points) but you don't eat the 10% HP penalty. Though Choice Band outclasses that.

Shiva Asori posted:it gets acrobatics and sky attack. Sky Attack sucks thanks to the charge turn, so Acrobatics it is. Are the type gems from Gen 5 present in this game?

Moxie and 565 BST means that Harptera is basically an Ultra Beast. It doesn't even need Gale Wings with that speed It has a higher BST than any real Pokémon that's not a (pseudo)legendary or Slaking.

Legendary Pokemon, or the 600-bst psudeo-legendaries, or things with drawback abilities like Archeops and Slaking are the only things higher than Arcanine. There's a thing in Uranium with 590. A different thing has 560. Inflagetah and Electruxo are at 555. Four things are at 550, kinda pushing it, aren't we?

Admittedly, Blaze Black/Volt White did a pretty interesting job of normalizing everything into "what if all Pokemon were equally viable in an endgame environment", and that hosed with both distribution (there are something like twelve Pokemon available on Route 1 alone) and difficulty curve, but at least there was a unifying design goal. I don't think Uranium has a unifying anything, except for our shared disdain for it. Fake Edit Also, turning Farfetch'd into a legitimate Samurai Bird is pretty great. BST 523 with Sacred Sword.  (And Defeatist, but hey, gotta balance it somehow.)

Worth noting is that Archeops has only 2 higher BST than Harptera despite the drawback ability. While Gen 4-6 in general has some BST creep there still haven't been anyone getting past Arcanine (Florges is the closest at 552) unscathed. Notably, 12 of Gen 7s new legendaries is only at 570, 5 points higher than Harptera Waterfall of Salt fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Mar 27, 2017 |
