Parrotine posted:V-Create is a legacy move without a home While the two you listed are the only two non-Z moves I can think of that eclipse that power (LIght That Burns the Sky is 200, for example) there are a few that come close. Psycho Boost is 140, Mind Blown is 150, Doom Desire is 140, and Water Spout at full power (the ticket to getting Ho-oh in Pokemon Colosseum) is 150, same as it's fire counterpart Eruption. Outside of those and Z-moves, I think the only things that tend to come close are the elemental hyper beams. Oyster fucked around with this message at 05:46 on May 9, 2018 |

A V-Create-based Inferno Overdrive has 220 base power, which is the highest you can get without knocking yourself out.

What's a good flyer to use in Pokemon Y? I'm late to the 3DS party and trying to choose what my aerial transportation will be but most of the options for that kind of suck. Preferably something introduced in B/W or X/Y because I like using new mons. Also Honedge is awesome and I am glad it exists.

Are they ever gonna add more mega evolutions in this series? Introduced in X/Y, given the Pimp My Ride treatment in ORAS, then severely downplayed in SuMo for Z-crystals and the small handful of regional variants. They are too good of an idea for gamefreak to put out to pasture, I dont care how much they love their Z-crystal idea, let's meet in the middle Nintendo!

z moves are bad and mega evos are mostly cool. they are both being phased out for trainer-monster spirit fusion though

I've always wanted to see a gimmick team based around Fire/Water/Grass Pledge, but it just seems like such a pain in the rear end to execute. The Serene Grace rainbow from fire + water has some interesting implications though.

We aren't getting more Z-Moves either, or regional variants. That's how Game Freak works, add something new and cool, immediately forget about it next gen. Gotta make each game feel "unique" even though they all have the exact same progression until SM. Next game will introduce a completely new gimmick that'll add a hundred more stupid collectibles because we don't have enough yet, and so on, forever.

Well, given how Pikachu tends to get some new gimmick just about every generation, I wouldn't be surprised if it got a split evolution or Mega (*cause screw Raichu, I guess? You had your moment as Alolan Raichu at least)

Or just give Raichu an evo, who cares about the stupid three stage maximum at this point. Megas basically broke that already anyway. It's twenty eighteen Game Freak, live a little.

The Serene Grace rainbow from fire + water has some interesting implications though. From Smogon: When used in conjunction with an ally's Water Pledge, the attack of the ally moving first will have a Base Power of 150 and the ally moving second will not attack. Instead, a rainbow will appear on your side of the field for four turns, doubling the chance of secondary effects occurring. The effects of the rainbow do not stack with Serene Grace.

I hate hate HATE Captain Kiawe and his bullshit Mega Kangaskhan antics at the Battle Tree. Not once has it failed to completely wall my entire team on my 30+ streak run, my Dragonite/Metagross/Mimikyu team has no counters for it and its dumb Parental Bond antics outside of sheer luck. What do I gotta bring to this fight to tear down this wall of his? Any tree teams some posters use here that work particularly well against this overgrown bunny of his?

Silver Falcon posted:I'm drawing a blank here. What is Gorochu? A recent interview revealed that Pikachu was actually going to be in a three-stage line originally, with the third being called Gorochu. However, Gorochu was ultimately axed in favour of the two-stage line where one is hyper popular and the other is forever ignored that we all know.

It’s weird that its ability only really works with Tapu Koko, but then if you have Tapu out why would you bother with Raichu.

So, after putting it aside for a while, I finally got around to finishing the main story of Moon last night. After capturing the surprise legendary, I'm just wondering... Where should I be going now? I just did the initial battle with Looker's superior, and frankly? I came way too close to getting my rear end kicked even with all of the passive leveling I've been doing with the Exp Share.

There are trainers in Poni Island's postgame areas you can level on, but they're gated by a bullshit fight with Dexio and a Mega Alakazam - unless you fly to Ruins of Hope on Poni and walk around his trigger area. You could do that, or you could waffle around in the Battle Buffet with their trainers - as long as you leave before you take your tenth turn, you can do it indefinitely.
