Araxxor posted:RIP Dynamaxing. yeah, singles becoming just a game centered entirely around dynamax and the boosts it provides doesn't feel good. it's still pretty central to strategies in doubles right now, but there it feels more like a tool you can use and counter and work around if you need to rather than a dominant mechanic this is probably a good decision

Sea Lily posted:in past gens the answer for not bringing back walking pokemon would generally be "it would be a lot of work to add walking and running animations for every pokemon", but. sword and shield has walking and running animations for every pokemon. it uses them in the wild and in the pokemon camp area, as well as having 'react to thing' animations for talking to them they know that everybody would immediately take Snom out of the pokeball and destroy the game with its meter a minute sprinting speed

It can also Ally Switch to use its 4x fighting resist to tank the most obvious thing to kill a snorlax, or switch in from the back lines to do it. I imagine with the 1/3 HP heal berries and a strong normal attack that just makes you keep healing it will be a nightmare to kill

Ok, I am just having the worst time with 5* Drednaw. I'm surviving and dealing damage just fine, but the 'help' they get for me is suicidal. Torkoal. 'follow me' Clefairy. I'm using a roserade, but every time it's some npc thats killing themselves.

God drat, they really took the screws to the movepool this generation didnt they? The Hidden Power TM was removed, things like Pursuit were cut, a good chunk of other moves got nerfed into the ground for who knows (they cut Thief to 40? Why?) Anything else I miss? What else did they gut in the purge, that's just mean man

I'm having a hard time settling on one of those for my banded Snorlax. Although on things being removed, I'm glad Hidden Power is gone.

Return being gone is odd though not a terribly big deal. HP being gone is excellent.

I think Return is gone because they rather drastically overhauled how friendship works mechanically in the games.

How are you peeps using cleric Togekiss for CPU raids? I'm trying to make it work, but some of these idiots get destroyed in one shot even after setting screens (Sophie's Maractus  ), so Life Dew ain't going to be of much use.

So out of curiosity I was looking up what people are asking for Flame Orbs, and holy poo poo the desperation to get this item is scary. I've been grinding at this for probably the better of 3 hours and I have not gotten one yet, not sure how they thought this was a good idea.

Kurieg posted:I think Return is gone because they rather drastically overhauled how friendship works mechanically in the games. Return and Frustration got gutted because it was inconvenient as hell to set up on certain cartridges in tournaments, and because they completely reworked friendship. Gutting them with no replacement really stings though. The gap between Body Slam and Double Edge is too wide, and Normal can't really provide much coverage so the base power of the moves better be up to snuff.

I mostly use Eternatus because I'm done playing "fair" after facing several Centiskorch with White Smoke as their ability. It does struggle with some Ice, Psychic and Ground types, but otherwise its bulky enough to shrug off most attacks.
