Zapdos now gets Drizzle. That was easy.
>>56366898Tough Claws and/or gaining Meowscarada's movepool
>>56366898Power construct is removed from the game. Perfect Zygarde’s ability is Aura Break
>>56366898Wonder Guard.
>>56366898Supreme Overlord as HA
Draining Kiss
Megas are a permanent addition or at least Beedrill's and the other shitmon's are.
>>56366898poison heal
>>56366906Give it to both Sandslash forms too.
>>56366966but muh small indie company can't handle all that extra work
>>563669361. He already got his buff2. There would be no reason to use him over Kingambit, at best he gets into RU or RUBL
>>56366898Dragon Dance
>>56367032Supreme Overlord boosts special attacks too.
>>56367032>1. He already got his buffno it didn't >muh regionulnot a buff
>>56367032I don't want it to be better than Kingambit, I just want it to be useable. Kingambit can only use physical moves but Surpreme Overlord actually increases the damage of any move, which is why Samurott(who can run physical or special) would be a fun pokemon to use this ability. SO Samurott could even have a place in rain, where its the only Water type that gets stronger by more allies lost >Regionals are buffsThey don't benefit the original especially now that future remakes will dexcut them anyway
>>56367471Different guy here, while I would agree with you that regional forms are not particularly a "buff" it seems like GF views them as such. It's a shame because I imagine with them they start with the design conceot then work the gameplay design around it. Sometimes it works out well enough like with Muk and Ninetails, other times the pokemon is just fucked over and the regional form is just a side grade like Raticate or Persian. Do those fucked over deserve another chance? Yes, but GF wants to focus on stuff that has no prior variation usually. Unless you just happen to have Charizard or Lucario as a favorite you better pray the buff they make is good, and hopefully permanent.
>>56366898Can use light ball
>>56368062miraidon 2
In a similar vein of "simple fucking change", Primarina gets Boomburst.
outside of giving him an evo, mega, or some extremely busted new ability, i don't think anything could save him from being untiered
>>56366898Swap Azumarill's attack and special attack. It's not much, but seriously, why the fuck did they give it 10 extra SAtk as a buff when it's got an attack-scaled ability?
>>56368179Fuck it, Mega Fearow.His beak is now twice as long.
Regigigas: slow start counts the number of turns since the battle start, not since the mon was sent on the field.
>>56366898Shift Gear
>>56366951And the rape "Pokémon" gets even more rape-y. Do it.
>>56366898Volcarona gets DroughtI know it's unbalanced but Drought always felt more appropriate than Flame Body since there's no actual flames on its body and it's found in a desert.
>>56368275Solar Power would be more balanced and is still thematic.
Mew can now learn Acupressure.
>>56368384Solar power is still quite strong with a sun setter.Would still prefer Drought. Solar power feels too close to Charizard since both are strong fire types can make full use of it but are 4x weak to Stealth Rock so you rarely do.
Sing now hits 100% of the time when used by Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff or Scream Tail.It's literally canon that they can make sure everyone falls asleep eventually.
>>56368549Requiring a sun setter makes Solar Power more balanced by default.With Drought you don't need to build a team reliant on sun as Volcarona can use the sun for itself, enabling more flexiblity. Not to mention you get boosted Fire STAB for free coming from the same special attack as fuckin Chi-Yu.
>>56366898Inferior to static Zapdos, now it lost all its pressure as a defensive pivot.
>>56368610Wouldn't even be Broken since Wigglytuff is Slow.Scream Tail on the other hand...
>>56366936It would be two instead, but I think I'd much rather see Intimidate + Fake Out. Slightly worse incin, but it doesn't care about being intimidated itself and threatens incin easily.
>>56368800Yeah but it's way better in VGC now and supplants Pelipper as the premiere rain setter in the formats it's allowed.
>>56368808>Wouldn't even be Broken since Wigglytuff is Slow.I'm aware, I don't need it to be broken. However, it is a serious threat: the opponent cannot switch without coming into a guaranteed SLP, and very few mons can ever OHKO Wigglytuff. Then she can recover health with Rest, possibly also heal a teammate if you use Wish, or setup something like screens. It can run literally any other special attacking move so you never know which one it will be, can fuck up Steels if it decides to go Fire Blast and Tera Fire.
Plus 50 Special.> Special Attack or Special DefenseSpecial.
>>56369124Based gen 1 chad.
>>56368983Nice to see.But Scream Tail tho...
>>56368179Poor Fearow, even pokeporn doesn't even touch them outside of like, 3 images
Honestly, I have no idea, he has so many flaws... still, I love this birb.
>>56369689Old Long Reach:>Contact moves don't make contact.New Long Reach:>Contact moves don't make contact. Moves that already don't make contact(Sprit Shackle, Leaf Storm, Shadow Ball, etc) are boosted by 20%.Based on how Unite handled its situational ability
>>56369758That unironically would be so good, thank you anon!
>>56366898becomes a pseudo-legendary with optimized bulky base stats.
>>56366898+100 special attack for starmie
>>56369780
>>56369777Surprised it didn't work that way. An archer-based ability should've easily been inverted Tough Claws but isn't for some reason
>>56366966>>56367024They could do this using the Tyrogue to sHitmon evolution mechanics or just simplified to EVs. Imagine the playground rumors of "kill 120+ Rattata and Psyduck before evolving for a special Charizard" (Y) and there's a kid that fought Shinx instead of Rattata that got Charizard (X). Normal forms without hitting the specific thresholds (in this example, 120 EVs in Speed and Atk/SA). Single stages get key items or NPCs that swap forms like a Gene Reshaper for a Mewtwo or a special Machamp/Machop duo that trains Kangaskhan and its baby to give it Parental Bond.
>>56367471SHell Armor needs a buff. Make it so it IGNORES Att/Sp Att/crit boosts.
>>56368231Aggron just needs to loose its rock type when evolving. That already would be a huge buff.
>>56368610Better - make any sound move has always chance to hit.
>>56369758Better: Contact moves don't make contact.Spirit Shackle gets priorityIt's an archer it should shoot first.
>>56370011Shell armor is not a bad ability but it's on all the wrong pokemon except for mega slowbro and it was the only one who was good because of it
>>56369689Take 40 out of special attack and put 30 into speed and 10 into attackThere i solved it
Ice/Electric
>>56366898Kowtow Cleave and Cross Poison and Psycho Cut
>>56370340It has no room for Kowtow. >Ceasless Edge sets spikes>Knock Off removes items>Night Slash is better on a crit build(doesn't need scope lens for Focus Energy gimmick)
>>56370340Kowtow Cleave is one of those signature moves that doesn't really make sense going to anything else just on the basis of what it's supposed to represent. Like, stuff like Throat Chop, Spiky Shield, Mat Block, Mystical Fire, etc. are thematically tied to their original mons but are still generic enough to go to anything else that lands in the same ballpark. In what situation would a Pokemon bowing their head while slashing not look awkward unless their head also WAS the blade?
>>56368179dragon dance or swords dance + close combat + 20 base speed
>>56370673>In what situation would a Pokemon bowing their head while slashing not look awkward unless their head also WAS the blade?I mean, samurott has a giant spike on his head, frankly it makes more sense to fight with that than his actual blades
>>56370710You know what, I kinda blanked on the fact that the spike would probably be what was used. I can see it.
>>56366898>HypnoNo GuardBenefits Hypnosis, Focus Blast and Poison Gas all at once.

>>56370017Do Aron and Lairon even care about being rock-type?
>>56370845The JP name references a warrior's helmet, to pick one:>Normal moves become Fighting and gain +20% power>Boosts the power of Fighting and Steel moves by +20%>Boosts critical hit rate by 1 stage>Boosts Atk by 1 stage whenever the foe switches out
>>56370673Thematically, it’s very fitting. Body-wise, I always imagined that it holds it swords out together in front of its face while bowing its head, although >>56370710 might make more sense
>>56366898Levitate
>>56370850STAB head smash is nice
>>56370022Wigglytuff's sound moves are all 100 accuracy aside from Sing. If anything you should boost the BP or do something retarded like>when using a sound-based move, there is a 30% chance to inflict Sleep
