The Bee posted:Got any examples? And are they mostly new Pokemon, or did ones from older games take hits to their movepools too? Off the top of my head, Thievel, Corviknight, Toxtricity, Hetterne, Sinistea...They learn a couple of decent STAB moves, but often whatever coverage they have is very weak or from their weaker attacking stat. Again, TMs and TRs might mitigate this, but it all depends on where they're found. I'm only looking at new Galar 'mons. I'm pretty sure the old Pokemon have gotten nothing but moveset buffs. Seriously, Nasty Plot Gengar and Power Whip Gyardos?

Zore posted:Also apparently Dreepy has a similar level curve to Hydreigon. Evolving for the first time at 50 is some I was hoping they would leave that kind of poo poo back in B/W. Making legendaries purely postgame is something I get, but doing this to regular pokemon, even pseudo-legendaries is annoying. What's wrong with something like the Metagross line having its first evo at 20 and its second at 45, or Garchomp having its first evo at 24 and second at 48. Even Dragonite/Tyranitar/Salamence all have the first evos at 30. You can still actually play through the regular game with them at a normal pace.

Oxyclean posted:Probably not very. I don't think the last few pokemon games were particularly moddable, plus you'd almost certainly need to jailbreak/mod your Switch to start with, which generally comes with a high risk of the system being locked out of online functionality. Ah yes of course. I'm not too versed in Nintendo hardware so I didn't think you'd have to go that far too make changes, ah well!

Nanigans posted:Man, some of the level-up learnsets are really, really anemic. Like...a couple of STAB moves, and maybe 1-2 coverage moves, and in some cases not even that. the raids at least seem to absolutely poo poo TRs at you so that will likely help. I am hoping as the game comes out more some of these get updated, Dreepy having no level up moves AND taking 50 levels to evolve would make me sad because I love that freak

Inner Focus and Own Tempo preventing the intimidate drop is huge and should have a pretty big effect on VGC since a ton of mons have those as filler abilities. Looks like Gamefreak wants to tamp down on the intimidate spam.

Yeah I was really disappointed by Flapple's movepool. Flying, Dragon, and Grass and that's it. Not that it needs a ton more, Hustle boosted Outrage from a Dynamax'd Flapple apparently crushes everything, even a max defense resist like Ferrothorn. But I was kinda hoping for a little more coverage.

Yeah, I feel like similar situations to this has happened in the past where the new Pokemon get the short end of the stick for movepools which then get greatly expanded in future games. So at this point, Pokemon like Gengar have movesets similar in length to Mew. Flapple and especially Poltegeist will probably be okay because...Dragon Dance in Flapple's case and Weak Armor, Nasty Plot and loving Shell Smash in Polteigeist's case.

Also if anyone is interested in seeing the encounter tables https://pastebin.com/dghKRg8B https://pastebin.com/g1WMYbSn There are like 7 types of weather conditions that affect it too (Rain, Thunderstorm, Sun, Snow, Snowstorm, Heavy Fog, Sandstorm) DemoneeHo posted:Are these confirmed? These seem like... poor choices to make unless they really nerfed entry hazards. A single hold hold item that negates hazards doesn't make up for these changes Defog is until we get Home because it isn't a TM or TR so only the things that learn it via level up are gonna have it for a few months. People are testing Rapid Spin now.

Zore posted:Huh so there are a ton of minor things changed that haven't really shown up in this thread yet. At least in the Ralts line case it went from Amorphous to Amorphous/Humanlike, and the other lines are also single egg group. I guess they all got second egg groups? The Knock Off availability nerf is gonna hurt, and I am guessing more those that lost it while the ones that keep it are going to see more usage. The Roost availability nerf makes no sense. Vespiqueen lost both it and Heal Order too. And welp to those that thought Stealth Rock was getting an indirect nerf. What is left that can remove entry hazards, Defog... oh wait

I wonder how the movepool removals will work. Will they make Pokemon entering from Home forget them, too? Or will Roost Vespiquen and most defoggers be able to come from Alola unimpeded?
