Bad news, bros...Regenerator was just confirmed to have been nerfed down to a 25% heal.
>>59127524No FUARKING wayStop lying you cocksucking fagolaYou don't get to say that without me stabbing you, giving me actual hope in this bitch if an Earth
Toxapex?More like...Toxacuck
>>59127524It's for the best. It's still really good, just not broken.
>>59127524>source: my assopinion discarded
>>59127524please let it be true, GODfreak
>>59127543It already isn't broken. Stop playing fanfic garbage.
>>59127535Cuxapex was right there retard
>>59127524Wow, the ability no one used in VGC got nerfed? Can't wait to see how this'll change absolutely nothing for no one!
>>59127580>It already isn't brokenwrong, mons that have it just aren't used themselves
>>59127590>what is Amoongussretard
>>59127604It's only using Regenerator because Effect Spore is even more worthless given all contact attackers worth a damn don't actually make contact with their opponents.Urshifu holds a Punching Glove for a reason, and it's so it doesn't get punished for a misplayed Surging Strikes by Effect Spore.
>>59127620shif's getting unseen fist nerfed to 25% damage from protected hits btw
I am ambivalent. Moongus switching was never what made it annoying for me
>>59127620It’s regen so it can rage powder even more>urshifu uses gloveslol, lmao even
>>59127585toxakeks
>>59127649It doesn't care, many sets already ran it with Punching Glove which negates Unseen Fist
>>59127620>Yawnfag tries to pwn people by claiming X doesn’t matter in VGC>Shows off how little he actually knows about VGC despite shilling it 24/7 unpaid
>>59127602By that logic they need to nerf wonder guard.
>regenerator is broken>which is why literally only one pokemon commonly uses it>and it’s not even the reason the pokemon is commonly used>I’m definitely not a fanfic staring campaignshitter btw
Nintendo nephew here. I've just received word regenerator has been buffed to a 50% heal, and Champions will not offer 6v6 battles even in private lobbies
Ah yes the true sign of an OP ability that needs to be nerfedSmogshit has caused irreparable damage to competitive Pokemon discourse
>>59128032>Cherrypicking retard FAGGOTEvery time
>>59128032Reckless Mienshao isn’t a thing?
>>59128005No, that's sagefag pretending to be yawnfag.Yawnfag would make a much greater mistake, like thinking Shadow Ball is a gen 1 move.
>>59128017by that logic dimissing "fanfic garbage" is incorrectif it's only a problem in singles, the nerf then displays a clear attentitiveness to sentiment in singles play
>>59128020>>59128032GameFreak doesn't support singles.Their singles format Battlespot is disfavored and underplayed by everyone.It's unlikely then they based gameplay decisions off data collected from the format and its discourse.Thus if true, it's clear they care about what people are saying in the only other alive singles format, Smogon.
>>59128044I imagine because this is a doubles setting and Meinshao is frail as fuck, it wants to do as much damage it can in one turn, meaning no flinches from Fake Out and no Attack drops from Intimidate
>>59128055Which is odd because there's no reason for GameFreak to give a shit about singles, as modern comp's end goal, the world championship of VGC, does not ever involve single battles, ONLY doubles.Thus, as Amoonguss is the sole noteworthy user of Regenerator, and it isn't even used FOR Regenerator simply because a situationally useful ability is better than a detrimental ability (since Effect Spore could Poison or Paralyze a mon you want to Spore, and those ailments are worse since they still allow that mon to act), it makes no sense to nerf Regenerator.
>>59128055It’s not a problem in singles. It’s a problem in fanfic garbage.
>>59127580>>59128020>>59128055>>59128085A U T I S M
>>59128060I guess, but I figured there’d be at least some high-rollers dreaming of huge reckless jump kicks.
>>59128055NOOO DON’T POINT THIS OUT OR MY NARRATIVE WILL BE RUINED
>>59128062Nerfing regen doesn't change anything for vgc, but it's very strong in 6v6 so nerfing it doesn't seem like a bad nerf since it won't impact the vgc side they don't primarily care about 6v6 but they do seem to pay attention to it HDB is an item that implies they're aware of it.
>>59128062battle spot singles, maybe?
>>59128180HDB only exists because they don't want Charizard getting assraped by Stealth Rock in scenarios where Stealth Rock is actually used, nothing more to it.
>>59128085NOOO DON’T POINT THIS OUT OR MY NARRATIVE WILL BE RUINED
>>59127524Smogonites crying and shitting their diapers because their 50 minute games now only last 40
>>59128085No one playing Smogon complains about Regenerator besides the sub 1100 elo kiddies
>>59127524So...an 8% nerf?
>>59128700It’s pretty significant. If you want to heal from 1 HP, you need to switch in and out 4 times. And with hazards factored in, you could easily not even regain any healing what so ever. 1 Rocks and 1 Spike now nullifies your regen, when before you could still get HP back with 1 Rock and 2 Spikes up.
