Why do you need one from ORAS specifically? It's avaliable in SUMO. and power-up punch isn't an egg move so you'd need to breed it in gen 6

Exactly, power up punch isn't in SuMo, but it is in ORAS so I need to breed it there to have Crush Claw before teaching it PuP, then transfer to SuMo

You cannot transfer any pokemon from SuMo to ORAS. The 'Khan could be from X/Y or ORAS, doesn't matter to me

Here's a report from a Pokemon fan event:

Ultra Necrozma's theme is intentionally unfinished.
The previous evil team bosses were only supposed to appear in the Battle Agency, but they felt like it really didn't capture their spirit and came up with Rainbow Rocket.
The development team is pleased with the response to Rainbow Rocket.
Z-Crystals came about because Mega Evolution was limited to certain monsters and they wanted all Pokemon to be able to power up.

Q: Are you working on another Pokemon game?
A: Umm...uh...buy a Nintendo Switch if you don't already have one.

Pokemon on the Switch = a fountain of money for Nintendo, it goes without saying it was bound to happen. the real question is whether it's this year or next. I'm beginning to think it's getting to the point they would have started showing stuff if it was going to be out this year.

The past two lead-ups to Gen 6 and Gen 7 are usually 10 months long with a trickle of promotional content. It's also within Nintendo's policy since the Twilight Princess debacle to promote upcoming games when they're basically done development and gameplay footage is almost always present in their trailers.

I'm certain that we won't get a title and an actual release date for this year.

Haha, well I'm glad for this. Seriously, gently caress the Battle Agency. I used to check every day after work just to see if a helpful partner would randomly appear, but gave up ages ago. I never see anything but level 0 dinks.

It was actually the Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings forms before becoming Ultra Necrozma. I saw a better translation.

Coating the competition, I see

Good speed, good attack, mediocre defenses and HP, terrible movepool though
Interesting effect on Plasma Fists though - any Normal-type moves used during the rest of the turn become Electric-type
...So does a Normal-type Z-move become Electric? 'Cause that sounds hilarious

Why is one of the dorky genie pokemon (landorus) considered one of the best in the pokemon meta? I dunno, a flying/ground type doesn't seem all that special, you'd think Thunderus would be the better one if you had to pick one to use for a team

Because its Therian forme has;

1) intimidate
2) 145 base attack/105 base Sp. Attack
3) 91 base speed
4) Decent bulk

It can basically slot in to any team, get a free stealth rock set up since it has such useful resistances and immunities to enable its switch in, has an absurd variety of viable sets it can run which don't share the same counters...

Its a swiss army knife that also hits like a loving truck and can force any physically oriented pokemon out. Basically Gyarados if it was faster, had a usable special attack, better stats all around, better movepool and better typing.

gently caress Lano-T. Its the worst goddamn pokemon in existence and I am so sick of it.

Intimidate is really good and landork has the perfect stat spread to make use of it. He's got a huge fuckoff attack stat so he can threaten to do damage without having to focus his whole build on it, and his defenses and speed are meh but just high enough to be credible with appropriate boosts. So he can be a tank or a super speedy revenge killer or just start hitting like a truck and when you're facing one you don't necessarily know what you're looking at.

Ground/flying is also pretty great because it gives you a flier that isn't weak to Stealth Rock, plus it turns one of flying's other weaknesses into an immunity.
