>An unholy lovechild of Razor Shell, Leaf Blade, and Iron Head in one move in terms of effects >No one wants to use itWhat went wrong?
>>55781539All of those effects are nice and all, but the flat raw damage from Close Combat is always preferable.Also, it's stuck on Hisuian Decidueye currently and isn't likely to get anywhere else until they make more archer Pokemon that could receive it.
>>55781539It's exclusive to one shitmon
>>55781539The move is locked with a ASS tier shitmon
Dire claw is also strange, i guess GF is just running out of ideas for unique moves.
Jesus Christ why are moves so overtuned now?
>>55781561gamu hawd to balance ples undastamd
STOP hating decidueye
>>55781561because they're actively trying to appeal to compfags now and the only way to guarantee they buy all of the games is if they slap a bunch of fancy exclusive toys onto everything
>>55781722appealing to compfags is always a mistake
>>55781571Make it a 3-hit move, 30BP per hit, 85% accuracyFirst hit has a 30% chance to lower DefenseSecond has a 30% chance to cause flinchIf both effects trigger, the third hit autocrits
>>55781561Because the best way to make people like a Pokémon is to make it overpowered. Thats why Game Freak’s favorite pokemon are so strong while Pokemon that game freak wants you to hate are gimped to be shitmons. It’s just more noticeable now because Game Freak understands how their own game works now so they know how to make Pokémon broken
How strong is Charizard now?
>>55781770Wait for Mega CHARIZARDs Z and A. They’ll be extra OP to make up for CHARIZARD’s Terastral Dragon form being canceled due to SV being a rushed glitch fest
>>55781539>No one wants to use it>What went wrong?It's on a shitmon, duh.
>>55781539It's exclusive to a shitmon.You could give Geomancy to Ledian, and people still wouldn't use Ledian.
>>55781561Not really overtuned when it's stuck to one shitty mon
>>55781551I mean, there is only so much variation you can come up with. I'd like to see you try.
>>55781539this move would instantly be better if it was just a fighting type move that was super effective against flying types, that's all they had to fucking do
>>55781561selling new game > balanceno refunds when obsolete after selling next game
>>55781539there are so many mons that have at least one really good move but suck hard because of so many qualities that weigh them down
>>55781539It's only on one Pokemon with an uninspiring stat spread and a mediocre typing both offensively and defensivelyonly banded sets seem to prefer close combat though, every other set i've seen on it uses triple arrows
>>55781561Every mon has to have a gimmick move/ability now.
>>55781561>Jesus Christ why are moves so overtuned now?
>>55781551Dire Claw is just a physical Tri Attack with sleep instead of freeze.
>>55781539Give it to jirachi
>>55782349115 base attack and 95 base special attack/defense is shitty these days? >>55781572he had two chances to have a good design and squandered both
>>55782039>ledian gets baton pass tooUh oh sweaty a new doubles gimmick has been invented
>>55783681It's been shitty for a decade anon, wake up.
>>55781547Or they swap his special attack for speed. Seriously it looks more agile then the alolan one yet it somehow has 60 speed? Keep in mind Skeli is somehow faster so there's no way someone at gamefreak hq didn't sabotage him
>>55783649>Normal-type move>every Pokemon that *could* use it opts for Return or Double-Edge for raw power, or has crap AttackI get what you're trying to say, but there's better examples.
>>55782039I would.
>>55781539Decidueye is the type of pokemon that WOULD be saved by a mega.
>>55783649Tri attack is only 20% for status.>>55783664Man you're actually retarded or just deliberately disingenuous. Dire claw is fucking 50% for status. 16.6% sleep. If it was adjacent to tri attack, it'd be 20%, not 50%. Tri attack is 6.6% freeze. You're 2.5x more likely to get the status with Dire Claw than with tri attack.
>>55781561Pokemon moves are tame, we still aren't at the DQ Monsters level of both sides rolling the dice and whoever has the better RNG just wins in a single turn.
>>55781561The signature move cycle>make mon that isn't super overtuned>"let's make a really powerful move as incentive to use it">nobody uses it because one OP move can't save you from middling stats>"well we went to all that effort of programming that move. Let's increase distribution / make it a TM">Actually good mons get to abuse the powerful move so you get things like Parting Shot Incineroar and Pollen Puff Amoongus
