:same:, also what's your current team status wrt Yungoos? Thanks in advance.

6 yungoos at the start and if a wild pokemon manages to defeat a yungoos (not likely) it becomes an honorary yungoos and i have to catch it

On that note I JUST found out that the winning Worlds team used Raichu.

Wh...when did Raichu become that good? :stare:

raichu is a bad pokemon that can absorb incoming electric attacks targeted at kyogre, nuzzle for free paralysis, learn fake out, endeaver strong threats when it eats a multi-targeted move that doesn't OHKO it, and volt switch out to an eject button hitmontop that will also fake-out

What was my missing ingredient apart from Alakazam

thunder wave over flash

also you should have the blizzard tm so give it to blastoise over literally any of those non-surf moves

Ruggington
Apr 21, 2012

rby competitive is a mysterious beast where even the frailest pokemon can be bulky as gently caress because of the way evs work and reflect on alakazam gives it noticeable staying power against the strongest physical threats

in a normal game it'll probably just let you get off more psychics and that's never a bad thing

All the grass/poison and rock/ground mons in gen 1 gave me real weird ideas about the type chart.

But why is it the only dragon type move in that generation and why does it only do one effectively making dragons even bigger powerhouses since ice pokemon loving suck

lapras, cloyster, and jynx were good and blizzard was amazing

Okay, I think I'm going to need this one explained to me.

it's an ou stall staple too

regenerator + ridiculous bulk + Good Type + Fat Wish

It's about as good as the role of Purely Bulky Water is gonna get

although in ubers it has to compete with arceus water for that spot

I wonder if there's even the slightest chance of Gamefreak rebalancing the game for Sun & Moon. It's kind of sad that with over 700 to chose from only a handful are viable in competitive play.

there are like 200 viable mons because of tiers

Ruggington
Apr 21, 2012

Bartie posted:

With 700+ it's bound to have tiers and many pokemon are unevolved versions and so on, but it's not like there isn't room for improvement. League of Legends has over a hundred characters and manage just fine. I'm just saying that it's really boring watching Groudon vs Kyogre ad nauseum. :v:

bronzong doesn't get wrecked by ground moves or xerneas and can mess with trick room, gravity, skill swap etc
