Zore posted:All Alolan pokemon seem to have really poo poo abilities even compared to their normal ones. I mean, Static and Rock Head aren't particularly good abilities . I can think of at least one pokemon where I'd probably rather have cursed body than its normal ability (it's Giratina, but not Giratina-O).Also Vulpix has an ability that isn't sunny day?

Manatee Cannon posted:obviously ice type will be buffed to have a bunch of resistances so that alola sandslash will be the best sandslash he can be yeah give it resistances to common attacking types such as poison, grass, and psychic. buff ice type and how about make it so that not every pokemon in the game learns ice beam. mewtwo has had ubers sets where its only attacking move is ice beam  , why even bother with STAB when you have such high stats and it's such good coverage.(please buff psychic as an offensive typing, is what I'm saying) Zoness fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Aug 20, 2016 |

it would only be bad if genesect mega evolved into a form with four arms anyway genesect is cool, i hope they do more distros of it, as it is my favorite random gen5 legendary that exists for seemingly no reason also meloetta but she's not good for battling, I have spent nonzero effort on making meloetta work.

I guess I can't see it because avalugg is both mechanically worthless and it looks like something cubchoo left on the ground. But at least it's not ice cream. Look I just want more cool ice types like mamoswine. That thing is a beast. also walrein.

Dexie posted:On that note I JUST found out that the winning Worlds team used Raichu. I assume it was used as a support. I dreamed of running a support raichu with nuzzle in early X/Y since it has a very unique set of abilities with lightning rod and access to fake out, encore and nuzzle, but it didn't work at all and I am bad at doubles. Looks like Wolfe Glick used an assault vest on his and used fake out, volt switch, nuzzle, and endeavor which lets him do a good amount of damage and disrupt setup without being vulnerable to taunts or traps.

I like that absol gets a bad rap because it shows up when disasters show up, it's a cool pokedex entry. I wish mega absol were better but it was fun to use, its biggest problem was probably that it was too obvious that you were gonna mega it for magic bounce.

reflect is a massive defensive boost, you're supposed to use it when you get a turn against something that wouldn't do sizeable damage to alakazam, since if golem or tauros still do more than half of alakazam's hp after a reflect you're not coming out ahead if you have alakazam against like an exeggutor reflect protects against an ohko from explosion and a hyper beam from a switched-in golem which lets you freely t-wave (which wouldn't affect golem unfortunately) or psychic whatever they try to bring in in general in competitive battles if you can't ohko or 2hko whatever is in and it has access to reliable recovery (and it can keep you from setting up on it or if you can't grind it down with residual damage stalling), you'll want to switch to something else, and reflect is a good tool on alakazam to force your opponent to switch more.
