I really wish the cycle was every 4 years instead of every 3, but I doubt they'll ever be allowed to have that time. There's a lot of other things such as the anime, the TCG, the side-games, and most importantly, the merch riding on that regular reliable cycle.

I start getting tired of battles after playing for a while because there's like a 2 second delay on every action.

So since we have a couple more hours of the Eevee event, what are good Tera types for the Eeveelutions? Here’s what I’m thinking Jolteon - Ice, STAB BoltBeam Flareon - Normal, can be burned with Flame Orb and use Guts-boosted STAB Facade Vaporeon - Dragon? Idk on this one, but Dragon resists both of Water’s weaknesses Espeon - Fairy resists 2/3 of Psychic’s weaknesses so thinking that, anything to keep Espeon in and annoying with Magic Bounce Umbreon - Poison has good defensive synergy with Dark, plus it goes with Umbreon’s beta type Leafeon - Fire, for Sun synergy Glaceon - Water for perfect STAB neutral coverage with Freeze Dry Sylveon - Fairy seems to be the best? Double STAB with Pixilate Hyper Voice sounds really obnoxious

Cattail Prophet posted:What happens to regular eevees when they evolve, anyway? Does their tera type change too? Even if a mon changes type when it evolves, it keeps its original Tera type. That’s why they have those overworld Tera encounters with the Eeveelutions with their STAB; they’re otherwise stuck with Normal.

Recently completed all of the post game content, up to a point where I can reliably do 6-star raids. This is the longest I've stuck with a Pokemon game - made two complete teams, and completed the regional dex. The standard game was completed with this team:  Then my post-game and Ace team, where I realized the importance of matching Pokeballs:  After getting my shiny charm, I used the picnic trick to locate Yuzu (the Shiny Azumarill pictured above). I got super lucky and he even came with 'the Sodden' title!

Haschel Cedricson posted:Because of the way access to the boxes works, you can swap team members between members of the Elite Four. I wonder what the ratio is on that decision. Like, how many parts "We made this doable because it's a kid's game and we want it to be more accessible for them" vs how many parts as a nod to the anime where he's constantly swapping his teams in and out for his tournament matches.

Its probably just that they made the boxes accessible everywhere and then didn't feel like it was that important to put the time in to restricting it for E4

The Elite Four and “Champion” fights are also just given significantly less weight this time around, imo. The real major endgame fights are the path capstones battles with Penny, Arven, Nemona, and to a lesser extent Clavell. And then of course the battle with the AI Professor at the end. With that in mind, it seems pretty obvious why they just don’t care as much. Heck, they even refresh your Tera Orb in between battles, which they rarely do anywhere else.

extremely evil and hosed up that beast balls, which you could buy an infinite amount of for cheap in gen 7, are locked behind completing the entire pokedex in this game. have they ever considered that ceruledge would look amazing in them. does gamefreak realize that arbitrarily locking something like that to one-per-save is why people go out of their way to find duplication glitches?

Is it just me or are online tera raid battles incredibly broken? More than half of them I can't join, then when I can it's laggy as all get out and I can regularly get passed over for extended periods when I can watch everyone else attack and defend and I get attacked several times in a row without my interface coming up? Or my interface freezing and I can't do anything? Or it taking my interface away when I'm in the middle of choosing something? ...Among many other problems. It just feels really unfinished. And it's fundamentally turn based, this isn't a high bar programming or network wise.

They're definitely buggy, or laggy, or whatever. I was duoing my 6* corviknight raid and it just froze me in the cheer menu in the first turn for legitimately like 30 seconds before it let me do anything, by which time my friend had done like 3 turns already. Matching online almost always means waiting like 40 seconds to be told I can't join, even though on very rare occasions it has put me in almost instantly. Which is dumb because doing a random online raid is indeed an insta-queue.

Larryb posted:The raids seem to function ok when doing it offline with CPU players at least Is there any way to know what star level the raids are while looking at the map, without running all over manually to look at them? Also just had a raid won by the skin of my teeth in 5 stars for me to use a luxury ball to capture it and it never gave me the pokemon, it's nowhere.

Tera raids are buggy as gently caress. Every time I use Play Rough with Azumarill it reduces the HP bar about 20-30% further than it should, up to and including bottoming it out to zero before snapping it back a few second latet, even in solo play. I had a couple thing morning showing effectiveness for the Pokémon’s base type instead of the Tera type from the beginning - you’ll see this when the raid is “over” but the turn order hasn’t finished yet, but that was a new one.

I've only had the issue where the board will immediately give me a "You can no longer join" message even if I click a posting as soon as it shows up. But if I try it again, it will let me play. The matches themselves run just fine for me though. I've done tons of them, and never had any problems past getting one to let me join. I don't know if the model of Switch matters at all, but I'm basing this all on an OLED in handheld mode.

I'm thinking about finally learning more about competitive this gen, especially since people are saying it's easier to do with items and such. I'm confused about how IVs and natures affect stat growth. If you changed all of those on a level 100 Pokemon, would it be as good as a Pokemon that had perfect IVs and a good nature from the start? Also, is there a good thorough guide for getting into this that you guys recommend? I've been doing some reading on Smogon but all of the intro articles on there are from the Black and White days (not sure if it's different enough now to matter.) I also need a guide to what items to use to fix stats, if possible.

That said its leagues better than SwSh where 6 star offline was effectively impossible because 4 KOs ended your run and the NPC trainers Kos counted.

The upside to doing raids solo is the AI allies fainting doesn’t hurt the timer, just your own faints, so it’s pretty much live or die on your own ability to hurt the big fucker and not die. Online raids are plagued with people bringing box legendaries to fairy teratypes and then everybody’s surprised when the whole thing collapses 33% through the hp bar. I’ve been able to solo most of my 6* on the back of belly drum, swords dance and nasty plot and resistant typing.

With cheap items to max IVs and change nature, ability, EVs and terra type, the only actual hard parts of building a competitive pokemon are hidden abilities and getting 0 attack IVs if you're a grognard. And, "stat growth" is how the game talks about EVs. Your stats are just a function of your nature, EVs, IVs, and level. Doesn't matter what route you take to get there.
