>2 new moves were added to ZA DLC>The first is a move replacing Dark Void when Darkrai Evolves, that works like a dark 80bp drain punch that rise to 120bp if the opponent is asleep>the second has just been found out - it replaces volt tackle for RaichuX only. Every time the 120bp move is used, RaichuX has his attack increased by +1 How the table have turned. Say hello to the most broken non-legendary mega of ZA!!!!

>brokenI love mega raichu, I think he looks rad. Flying in a superman pose is cool, but i'm not gonna pretended he's anything more than a glass cannon, just like Pikachu
>>58728369Unless it keeps those moves in Champions, it hasn’t won squat
>Meet Potentialchu!
We see it here.Some RaichuChads say that the buff is around the same length as Sword Dance, so the move might be a +2 increase.>>58728437RaichuX will have levitate.And you don't need to invest in attack if you're 120bp gives you +2. So you can invest in speacial attack (for surf, grass knot,... and every attack that counters ground types) or in HP (in order to be an annoying encore+wish set-up mon.If indeed volt tackle gives him +2, he becomrs the most broken mon by far (reminder that he also gets extreme speed).
>>58728369>>58728437>>58728460>he>50% female
>>58728369>>58728460>Omg Nihil Light is so broken! It’s gonna make Zygarde too strong!That shit didn’t last past 1 DLC. Getting +2 Atk for using a strong STAB attack isn’t gonna make it into Champions. Best you can hope for is Raichu X getting Galvanize so it can abuse Double-Edge and Extreme Speed.
>>58728369>volt tackleDoesn't that move hurt itself when used? That shit is out of question to be meta in Champion.
>>58728623Don't conflate things, Nihil Light was only nerfed in bp, from 200 to 100 bp.
>>58728620sister please...
>>58728642And they were wrong to do so
>>58728642>Nihil Light was only nerfed in bp, from 200 to 100 bp.?? What? When?
>>58728681The nerf occured with the dlc release
>>58728687>>58728642does that kil Mega Zygarde?it was already hard to get out
>>58728901He won't get banned from AG if that's what you're referring to. So it technically saved him.In VGC I don't know how he compared to mega Rayquaza, Groundon and Kyogre with the 200bp move. Now he is for sure less strong than them.
>>58728437What site is that
>>58728966it might get a new ability that's a mix of the two
>>58728460>Raichu X will have LevitateSurge Surfer
>>58728939game8
>>58728369>>58728635According to this video, it gets +1 Attack AND doesn't take recoil damagehttps://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/legends-z-a-ou.3772808/post-10799969
>>58728623>zygarde zygarde is a fraud
>>58728642>It was only nerfed by half its BP!Its absurd Base Power was pretty much the only saving grace for Mega Zygarde. All that hard work to get Mega Zygarde and you end up with a Pokemon significantly weaker than Miraidon.252+ SpA Zygarde-Mega Core Enforcer vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Abomasnow: 306-360 (79.8 - 93.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Tera Poison Abomasnow in Electric Terrain: 501-589 (130.8 - 153.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO252 SpA Choice Specs Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Tera Poison Abomasnow: 402-474 (104.9 - 123.7%) -- guaranteed OHKONot only does it take multiple turns to get Mega Zygarde and it cost an item slot and a Mega slot, but you’re not even as strong as previous OP legendaries who get even more power immediately.
>>58728969There's no way they will give it an ability that removes recoil damage from a 120 BP move, boosts it attack at the same time AND make it immune to Ground on top of that.It's not getting Levitate, but what it's getting sounds even better.
He still sucks, but that gives him a lot of personnality.
>>58728369So that’s why he’s weirdly gaining attack up’s when I use volt tackle, I thought it was my emulator being fucky or a bug on gamefreak’s end.
>>58729160Could you check Volt Tackle's move description when Raichu X is mega evolved please? Does it mention the attack boost?Also does Raichu X have recoil damage when using the move?
>>58728369Shame it needs to be shiny to look good
>>58728687That sounds like a bug of core enforcer failing to update correctly
>>58728623>>58728642>Nihil Light nerfSource? Not seeing this anywhere in the datamine/Serebii/Bulbapedo.
>>58728369A-Aaa-Achoo!>Mega Raichu has fainted!
>>58729169>Also does Raichu X have recoil damage when using the move?https://x.com/Rad_Dudesman/status/1999224251275182522
>>58729266>+40 points in defense and +15 in special defenseYou'll need two sneezes to ko him now.
>>58729326 The dummy doesn't give recoil.It needs to be tried on a real opponent.
>>58728369>110 speedthey should change it to Aura Wheel instead
>>58728988It does take recoil damage when attacking a Pokemon because unlike the dummy they have HP taken from them when attacked.
>>58728460>chonkachu
>>58729169It doesn’t mention the attack boostIt still gives recoil damage, kygore a bitch.
>>58729952Thanks!
so is it 200 or 100 BP lol?
The change was implemented in showdown
>>58728369Now show its real colors
