season 4 is live
>>58752475dialga is in?
>>58752486no legendaries this season
so many swamperts and golurks
I see 3 Bax and Swamperts in every game
Post teams >Avalugg/Klefki>Armarouge>Gyarados
>>58753219>Corviknight>Porygon Z>GolurkGolurk is just ok though Porygon Z is doing all the work
>>58753219Items and swap teamsDodonzo is funny as hell but super slow. Decently viable despite all the electric running around.Specced the Armarouge with metoer and solar beam, psychic and armor cannon. Quick Claw procs are crazy when you're hitting that type advantage and then finishing them off with a lil psychic if they survived. Avalugg is stealth mvp for countering most the Garchomps I see. Icicle crash still chucks the fuck out of him despite EVs all in hp/def.I really liked mioltic but I need to swap up attacks. Calm Mind and Aqua Ring can keep this bitch alive but with everyone speccing thunderbolt you need something to hurt when it hits. Was using Scald and Ice Beam but they just feel great when there's 2 ampharos and a raichu in every lobby. Need to swap out aggron and absol, really were't carrying their weight.PS fuck annhilape
>>58752489>no legendaries this season GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE
>>58752489>no legendaries this seasonI really need to finish the DLC to play more of the online this time. Should be a fun season.
Golurk has been very difficult to use properly. Slow as shit, cooldowns are long and lacks something to boost it's attack. It doesn't hit hard out of mega.
>>58753579that describes 3/4 of pokes in the game. no abilities in a game with mega mechanics is insanity.
>>58753579>"bro giving shitmons mega evolutions will totally make them worth using"meanwhile shitmon with megas:
>>58753607mawhile getting huge power. It's a shitmon in ZA without the ability. Same with medicham or Kangastan
Abilities could have still been implemented, weather would have been the only weird interaction I can think of.The larger problem with this game is the mechanics of movement speed(tie it to soeed stats so Xern can't sprint), attacks without an accuracy check, "2 turn" moves like dig/fly/etc, and using switches as a means to avoid damage entirely because it makes protect far less useful than it should be.
>>58753579Aggron's felt useless since the start. Couldn't even harass Xerneas with steel because lamo Focus Blast, and 4x from earthquake at any time you're not mega means even with like 300 defense you're still getting 2hko.It's neat that speed no longer being a major factor has kind of evened the playing field but that just put more emphasis on who has what attacks in their kitOutside of Gyarados, Garchomps, Excadrills, Metagross and Dragonite I haven't seen any particular presence of physical attackers. And Dragonites have all but been bullied out of the scene with everyone flexing electic and ice. I keep seeing people talk up excadrill and garchomp but the real threats always seem to be the Gyarados and Metagross.Raw stats, burst damage and aoes are pretty much everything in an FFA.Hope they add 1v1s sometime down the road, the 2v2s in the dlc have convinced me they'd be even worse of a clusterfuck than ffa.It's definitely not the worst time I've had in pokemon pvp but there's a lot of bullshit when you get sandwiched constantly. And always two players are just running straight at the first thing they see while the calm mind sniper is getting multikills.
>>58753623>147 attack to compensate for the lack of ability>still a shitmonlol
>>58753669The base attack boost just isn't comparable to a literal doubling of the mon's current attack stat, Mega Mawile would be terrorizing with 344 Attack under normal circumstances at Level 50 whereas in LZA it can only hit 218.
How's Annilape?
>>58753953No Xerneas or Mewtwo to check him, everyone's still speccing for chomp and gyara
>>58753658I see a lot more mega skarmory and garchomp+ charge electric of choice than anything else.Gyarados, excadrill and chandelier still appear from time to time, seen some gholdhengo, golurk and swampert early too.
>>58754081I'm still having decent success with gyaraOccasionally take a surprise thunderbolt from behind but that can be avoided by just waiting until I can mega him.To my mind he's more of a threat than chomp but maybe most chompers I see are just shit.People falling for the Z meme too, dropping STAB on eq just to lose 4x from ice and get 50 points in spc
>>58752489Oh. That's why all Xerneas Yveltal and Zygarde was gone. thanks GameFail
>still dumpstering with the alpha weedle I got from the sidequest
>>58753219First game went great
What makes Delphox decent in this besides Heat Wave?
>>58754239It moves fast, can use Solar Beam for sniping KOs, Psychic is lock on, and you get access to Calm Mind/Nasty Plot
Wondering if Eviolite Porygon2 might be worth trying out. It loses out on Nasty Plot but gets insane bulk in exchange along with all that great coverage/1 weakness.
I have a Perrserker.Good set for it? I know Perrserker is probably bad but hey, i'll try it.
They didn't buff Aegislash. I probably should've tested it last week when the dlc came out.
>>58756067Ironic that the ability that helped it soar above the tiers now makes it awful.Also, unrelated, but does Knock Off get rid of the opposers item for the ENTIRE battle or just until they respawn after getting KO'd?
>>58756242>Also, unrelated, but does Knock Off get rid of the opposers item for the ENTIRE battle or just until they respawn after getting KO'd?I assume the latter, since that's how berries and Normal Gem work
>>58756242Until they respawn.My parrot if mass destruction wouldn't work if the normal gem didn't respawn each life.
Does anyone have a good build for pidgeot?He's one of my all time favorites but it's so difficult to use
>>58756581Other than work up and hurricane heatwave hyper beam it got almost nothing, ominous wind exists I guess and razor wind is technically a move now.
>>58755961Can Perrserker learn Magnet Bomb?
>>58756581Thought about this for a little bit. You could maybe try giving it the Sharp Beak item and then just a bunch of Flying moves. Aerial Ace comes out super fast so you could use that + Brave Bird as a sort of combo (or Fly followed by Aerial Ace). Could be good against Annihilape, since you can switch in on a Ghost move, and then Plus Brave Bird has a good chance of killing it from full:252+ Atk Sharp Beak Pidgeot Brave Bird+ vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Annihilape: 212-250 (97.6 - 115.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKOAlso would be good against the more physically-frail stuff like Venusaur/Roserade/Scolipede, even though they're not too common.I would go Brave Bird, Aerial Ace, Fly, and then either Work Up or Protect in the last slot. I might try this myself tonight to check that I'm not completely bullshitting you lol
whats the mega stone this time and whats the rank for it
>>58757325Players who reach Rank S will get a Baxcalibrite to Mega Evolve their Baxcalibur into Mega Baxcalibur , adding it into the game.
>>58757328thanks anon. off to the slop mines i go
>>58756581I don’t think Pidgeot has any real option than to be your dedicated mega with a moveset like>Hyper Beam>Hurricane>Heatwave>protectThen for teammates you want probably want some kind of fire/ground type that aren’t reliant on mega like Flareon Hippowdon normal Garchomp or whatever
