>>59368527I like how they were out of their way to give Malamar this huge shilling campaign only to completely shit the bed with the mega. They’re so retardes even the Pokémon they try to shill get fucked in the ass
>Mega Kalos starters and E-Floette require ZA transferNot anymore. Only Floette.
>goldengo is ingreat I'm finally able to play and now I have to play against this gay as fuck shit
how the fuck do I log in on android? I type my password, screen goes black and the app starts from the beginning again asking my language and all that no errors displayed
>give a streak bonus now>I had a 14 streak that hit 2000 when champ was 2100Would've been champion
WHY IS MY CHARACTER WEARING GAY LEGGINGS
He won.
Hello graphics?
Is Raichu Y actually good or is it too frail to handle priority moves like sucker punch?
Tatora is ugly!
>>59368540anyone? am I the only one that cant log in?
>>59368552Works on my machine!
>>59368552Maybe you are a phonelet, I logged in first try without any problems, what ram does your phone have?
Everyone already forgot about mega meganium huh
So who got Tangling Hair after all?
Caraway is a slut!
>>59368540your OS is closing the app after leaving to log in due to shit scheduler or low ramtry logging in into your nintendo account with your regular browser to save your session and then try again while praying that it let's you skip having to enter your credentials and just let's you log in
>>59368558Who?
>>59368566Exactly
No seriously what the fuck are they doing? Where is my pixels? Do they not know about optimizing or fucking porting? This is abysmal like fuck get Dena on the phone if they cant onto graphics
SCEPTILE FINALLY GOT EARTH POWERNow hopefully it gets some other buffs because man Sceptile and Mega Sceptile need all the help they can get.
>whimsicott/gholdengo lead>whimsi tailwinds>life orb gholdengo makes it rain>13 win streak>already master ballthanks TPC, im done.see ya all next season
>>59368537Can confirm while it's not required, you still get the stones for free this way. So it at least saves you 6000 VP.
>>59368539Make it Rain has been nerfed, lowers his Special attack by two stages and is now 95% accurate.
>>59368557>>59368565phone is fine, got 8 gb ram, never had this problem with anything else if I manually close the browser that opens to log in, it gives me a normal error (failed to link account)guess I'll go fuck myself and keep playing on switch
>>59368577At this point they should just say ‘fuck it’ and give it Draco Meteor and Volt Switch
Can i make a team with both mega glimmora and staraptor?
>literally zero new cosmetics aside from BP dripfeedWe got new Trainer Icons for our Profiles at least, but this really sucks.
>>59368588that's actually great news that they're nerfing and possibly buffing things
>>59368547Been good for me. It survived a sucker punch from Mawile earlier
>>59365492*DING DING DING*Last chance to sign up for the LAST spot available in the draft league. We have 7/8 and I'm right now placing (guessing) the new megas in my draft board. When I am done i want to kick off the draft hopefully soon as the draft might take a little while to complete seeing as people are likely in different timezones and will likely want to use their allotted draft time to test the new stuff rather then quickly draft as they might with a more settled meta. So hopefully we have an 8th player by then.Also does anybody know how the mega scraffy interaction works in champions? do you get 2 intimidates in a single turn when you mega evolve it? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>59368590They will never give it Draco, but Volt Switch kind of makes sense since its Mega has Lightning Rod. Allow it to absorb and reuse that electricity. Discharge even could work, too.Though I would rather them replace Lightning Rod altogether. Give it Armor Tail.
This is actually awesome now we just need every single pokemon in the game
>>59368602Why? Game freak won’t buff them unless they’re shillmons so most will just be fodder
>>59368608so I can battle with my friends and have fun with all of the gen 1-2 pokemon like it's pokemon stadium online
Contrary isn't BAD for Mega Staraptor, but without Superpower, it kinda seems mismatched? Is making it bulkier through Close Combat without any offensive boosts really something you're wishing for?
Hi i'm a campainshitter is this a good team or nah for champions?
I never knew there were shiny recruits. Did they add this in the current patch?
I don't see the starter pack anywhere on mobile. Well so much for that.
>>59368646Nope been there since day 1
>>59368626Pair it with Prankster Meowstic and use Charm to raise its attack 2 times. Swords Dance + Close Combat in one turn basicallly.
>>59368648Actually fucking diabolical if only Switch can get the starter bundle.
If I use Wash Rotom while a M Sceptile is next to it and it uses Discharge, does it still deal damage to all opponents or does Sceptile absorb all of it?
>>59368662It deals damage to the opponents too. Redirect abilities don’t stop spread moves from hitting the other targets.
>>59368527Metagross cucks were REALLY expecting Gamefreak to let Metagross keep Heavy Slam. Yeah no way that was going to happen, lmao.
did vileplume get spore or was that just a rumour did anyone check?
What was the drop-off in player count from the second season compared to the first?
>>59368680Substantial.You can tell because S2 had a much higher skill floor. That's not because so many people got good.
Is my phone shitty or this game is heavy as fuckIt's like 5 fps here
>>59368664this is incorrect
>>59368540I cant log in either. Nothing happens when I click the OK button trying to link my account, it turns grey but thats it.
>>59368690It has always worked that way.Discharge is hitting the other side while your lightning rod partner gets boosted. Maybe trying playing the games before being fucking wrong.
>>59368540Worked seamlessly for meI just entered the app, did all the ToC agreement then picked Nintendo Network on the account sync screen and I just logged in as I would have on the Switch version
>remove heavy slam from MetagrossOkay so how will they nerf Salamence? Remove double edge?
>>59368646Nope, Day 1. Got a shiny Gargancl on the second day (which was nice since I didn’t get SV).
>>59368702Hyper Voice is the more likely one to get cut. Even with the Aerialate nerf mixed attacker M Salamence was still the best version of it.
>>59368588white herb solves that problem
What pokemon is currently gatekept to ZA? Just floette?
are they having a giggle with these shit mega abilities?scoli cant be crit wow, doesnt save it being dead due to typing in current meta
Got to kwabsters already just running my anti gay team from last season is anyone running anything fun I wish barbaracle was good
>>59368733walls mega floette :^)
>metagross megas in front of me >sneasler chunks it for 55% on a ccPoor thing
>>59368744It's not going to be like 2018 bros.Gambit exists.
Some very gay teams coming out. Grimm incin cycle teams. Enhanced perish trap. Theyre not too hard to deal with its just annoyinggggg.
It looks so bad on the ipad's screen, holy shit it's like 240p. This isn't image compression. It's this bad in-game
>>59368754>apple toddler
>>59368754lookat the 5head on tatora now
WHERE IS THE NEW GRAPH DAMMIT.Damn this twitter account is slow
>>59368561Grimmsnarl
>>59368764looking online best i found is some rando talking about it, which is something i guess
Any good sets for Scoli? Max Atk with Speed or do I go max bulk instead?Something like SD/Gunk Shot/Leech Life or Megahorn/EQ and a prayer?
>>59368770it's so fucking annoying, i can tell that fag used chatgpt to do the writeup
>>59368527>Eelektross gets a new ability just for it that combines its previous one with another one>Somehow the same couldn’t be done for Malamar>Even though Eelektross’ Levitate is literally a bigger part of its design than Malamar’s Contrary, which isn’t even its only possible ability Why is game freak so fucking retarded
>>59368770>removed Grimmsnarl's actual signature moveit rarely ran it but what the fuck
Game runs like ass on an iPhone 17 Pro, a stutter fest with a low frame rate, shit resolution, and no external controller support. And every touch input requires two taps. Fuck this shit
>>59368775Idk how a mind control gay squid cant get anything better than contrary
>back to fighting pokeball rank bots
>>59368781They could have given it a new room move that flips the stat changes of every battler while it’s up, that would have been kino
>>59368795Personally I liked flipping resistances and weakness when on the field.
>>59368782Don't lose in pokeball and you won't fight bots, I agree it's a shitty practice though, I quit playing Unite over that crap.
Snuck in my first match at work and squeezed out my first win, I was really worried when I saw Aggron considering all the memes but I think I was fighting a literal child since he tried to do things his own electric terrain blocked so hell yeah, cant wait to play some more later
Isn’t Sucker Punch +2 priority, or am I mistaken?
>>59368802+1
>>59368802+1 if a basc aqua jets it goes before gambit
>>59368802-6 I'm afraid the sucker is you
>>59368806Sucker's Punch
100 Quick CouponsHAJ1MAR1G1FT
>>59368646No, I got two during the last regs. Emboar and a Piakachu which the game doesn't even let me evolve
>>59368527That's it?
Any new good trick room mons? I need to kill fast with slow mons.
>alolan raichu needs electric terrain to be good>can't run it along the only electric terrain setter in the meta
>>59368818Dragalge
>>59368800I think your first match is fixed to be a bot. I was pretty scared since I'm a shitter but I immediately stopped feeling that way when I realized it wasn't a real person.
>>59368826My first match was a tranny running swamp arch
>>59368754>apple userkys faggot
>>59368536It was a joke campaign where the joke is that the pokemon is an irrelevant gimmickmon nobody actually likes, it was an actual good faith attempt at making it popular. Megamar being shit in comp just adds to the humour, honestly.
>>59368577hey now, that's something! Still gonna be extremely niche but that's a great addition.
Just got Champions mobile and works fine on my phone which is good.I read the starting guide but the following was not covered:So now what's the best way to get mons?Should I get GO? I don't have anything in Home nor I own a switch
what's the point of giving moves to shitmons like pyroar only to take them away
>>59368841ZA moves weren't staying
>>59368841Can't outperform chawizard
>>59368577unburden sceptile should be running physical moves
>>59368536have you tried using mega malamar in champions or are you just gonna cry about it
>>59368840As the author, yes it is written in the guide, but its been a while since i did the new player stuff, so maybe ill overhaul it to be clearer at some point.>So now what's the best way to get mons?Generally you want a rough idea of what your team will look like before making it, before going on the ranch and snapping whatever Mon you can find. If you want any specific Mons, make sure you have Pokemon Home and then you can just ask in the general.>Should I get GO? I don't have anything in Home nor I own a switchYou dont have to, but the game heavily incentivices you to install both Home and GO if you dont have any of the mainline games. You just need fodder to ask people to trade to you, hence GO.
>>59368818scoli and drag are 2 megas that are slow enough for TR
>>59368759bitch looks like a code lyoko character
>>59368850I see, ty. doesn't Home require a monthly subscription? I'm pretty sure I won't pay a cent for this game as I don't want to take it that seriously. I will probably make quirky teams based on what I can pick up. My style has always been teambuilding on my own so this is just another layer of challenge but a fun one. I'm not planning to get Champion tiered anyway
Hey that's kinda neat
>>59368810Thanks bro
>>59368859>doesn't Home require a monthly subscription?Only for the collectors. Free users get 50 slots.>I'm not planning to get Champion tiered anywayDont worry, only the most tryhardiest of tryhards get Champions tier. If i remember correctly, within launch to now, only one Anon supposedly reached champions. The rest just sort of yoyos between Master 2 and 3 which is "good enough" for the average person with a life
>>59368840yeah but what sucks is the pokemon that you send from home still take up a slot in home so if you only have the free 30 slots it's going to fucking suck. it doesn't actually transfer the pokemon over to champions, they stay in home.
>EelevateI spit out my coffee
>>59368861nice catch lol>>59368866oh I see. I might need to get GOy again then depending on how much fun I'm having
>>59368770>Scrafty loses parting shotI was legitimately excited to use Mega Scraft as a not-like-the-other-girls alternative to Incin and it's really frustrating to me that they just deliberately make my dreams die a painful death.
wonder what to change here >maus and ape are still good enough together in champions>garchomp is just solid all aroundthe rest im not sureincin is fine but dodgy to run with defiant/competitivemetagross doesnt really have a job, i thought i pick it against mega raichus but havent seen any so farand meganium to counter the steel types i cant deal with
>>59368870Worth considering that if you go to the trouble of building a living dex in home, you can stick with just the 30 default slots in Champions, and the home sub is far cheaper than upgrading to any reasonable box size in champions
>>59368873tbf, double intimidate + partingshot in the same turn would be unbelievable cancer
>>59368897So is "it burns anything it if you attack it", I think giving up your one mega to a fucking pivot should warrant that kind of cancer.
New to competitive pokemon, would incin, gyarados, sinischa all rotating around a problem pokemon like aggron or belly drum snorlax work? Not trying to take a team to champion tier just looking to have a good laugh and win slightly more than I lose
>>59368861Kino
>>59368840You have 30 box slots in Home free. Home can wonder trade and deposit 1 Pokémon in GTS at a time. You can send in junk to trade or what you want to use from Go to then send to Champions. Champions has 50 max free box slots and sent over Pokémon take up a space in both Home and Champions. You can get every Pokémon except AZ's Floette within Champions gacha. You get a free roll every 22 hours and earn tickets for 1 more free roll from dailies. If you have a decent shiny or legendary in Go you can trade that for Floette or trade up until you get something good enough to trade for Floette. It's very accessible to F2P. The main annoyance is box space which what the game monetizes. But as far as box space goes you can pay the cheaper subscription in Home and just move Pokémon back and forth from Champions when you don't need them.
Pyroar does get entrainment...
>>59368913Sounds fine.If anything late in the Gen-A, the protect the caste style of teams say great success in smaller tournaments. Their main choice of damage dealer were Floette and M-Delphox, but theoretically any mon could do it.
>>59368919>You can get every Pokémon except AZ's Floette within Champions gacha.you also can't run mega greninja, delphox, or chesnaught without Home because their stones are locked behind transferring those mons with Z-A as game of origin.
>>59368928The stones for kalos starters are available in the shop this season
>>59368928>because their stones are locked behind transferring those mons with Z-A as game of originno, you can outright buy the stones in the store now for 2k VP. I think they still have the stones for free with transfer, but now Floette is the only mon tied to ZA proper
>>59368935oh, my bad. FWIW I just did the transfer to get them, so yes, they are free if you do.
How is the mobile functionality?
>>59368940It runs fine on my ancient ass iphone. I also appreciate that they took the time to implement double-clicking to select moves so you can't mis-click via the touch interface.
>>59368919This should be in the guide
>mega pyroar gets a 50% boost to its fire movesso it basically negates the rain malus? (well except taking more damage from water attacks)
>>59368940It works. I just tried it on a iPhone from 2018 and it runs fine. A stutter here or there though.
>>59368949Nope it probably gets 1.5/2 in rain. Weird ability which has different use cases compared to Drought but it's overall worse I'd say. You want to be able to change weather
>>59368955Uh read that again. I don't know where you got any of that.
>>59368866>M3 or M2 is considered good>Couldn’t get past mid-1600s both times now and was hardstuck in M4Guess I’m pic related.
>>59368940Running it on Samsung S20 FE. This 5 years old phone has better performance playing it than Pokemon MasterSEX
>>59368961It seems I'm a dumb speedreader
Did anyone here reach rank 1 last season? I peaked around 2030 elo then crashed and burned a bit
What were they thinking with staraptor lol
>>59368754Lol tranny
Now that we have the mobile crowd, 300 might be too little for champ tier
>>59368943>>59368951>>59368966time to apologize to ILCA
The kids in pokeball just arent mentally prepared for corvikinght huh?
>>59368985300 was already too little for anyone besides bugmen
>>59368983oh boy time for unaware sash skeledirge
>>59368963Is yahtzee still relevant?
>>59368976>Hisuian AvaluggNever been a fan of it but that’s bloody impressive.>>59368983Combination of hard drinking and a lot of acid
>>59368983whats wrong with it
>>59368997Nah, he fell off well before he left Escapist to do his own thing but I still find use for some of his screenshots (or pics inspired by them).
Whoever said the game drowns you in VP at the start is fucking lying, I'm having to grind mindless battles with the starter team for more.I'm legitimately glad I decided to make building a VP farming team my first priority
>>59369008How do you actually farm VP though? Just fight humans until you're about to reach great ball then sand bag a bunch to fight bots? And then how much do you actually need to farm?
>>59369008You drown in VP if you're using HOME + a main game to bring over everything already battle ready to some degree
>>59369014>sandbagI hope that gay shit isn't a thing just win as many as you can
>>59369020I'm just a pokemon go + home fag and I ran out of vp after making 1 singles team and buying clothes to make my guy not look like a flaming faggot. Probably should have just kept my guy looking like a retard but I only played and won 3 battles so far so I'll see how long it takes to make a doubles team.
>>59369008??? I bought all the new held items and still at 30k. Play more
Any Eelktross teams started croppingup?
>>59368527RATE MY BOX
>>59368540I know its been a few hours but I did manage to log in after restarting my phone on the first trymight be worth trying if anyone else has problems
>>59369008I had all the new stones and hold items as soon as I logged in.
>>59369027HOME + GO just saves you quick coupons and playing the ranch gacha. Anyway, VP will become less of an issue eventually. Your main problem especially if you plan to build both singles and doubles team is the lack of space on both HOME and Champions if you don't shell out some money and have no main game to store Pokemon from HOME
>>59369020I didn't bring anything over and after the first season I had like 100k, just don't be ADHD and change everything everytime you lose a match and actually learn your team.
if I want to ask for a specific pokemon, how do people transfer it?I haven't touched vgc since USUM era so i'm missing a lot of new shit
any distribution codes active?did NAIC have anything?
>>59369027>buying clothes before you even have a team builtGee
>>59369034Wow Billy, how come mom let you have TWO aegislash?Trick Room Sableye/Farig plus Mawile could be a good start. You sort of need more support or something, preferably an intimidate Mon or fake out user.>>59369042Read the guide.>Download Home on phone>add whatever shitmon in the GTS>"Hey anons, can someone give me Scrafty, i put in this wurmple in picrel"
>>59369050do I need paid Home to do GTS or can the free one workalso, I think I have some mons in Go, do I have to transfer them to Home first?
>>59369045I know but the dude starts out with leggings and shorts what the fuck
>>59368919>>59369052Read the thread.
>>59369052>do I need paid Home to do GTS or can the free one workThe free one works,>do I have to transfer them to Home first?yes. Once they enter Home, you can start trading from there. Go is just your supplier of shitmons for trade
>>59369052free home gives you 1 slot at a time to put a pokemon up for trade but you don't need to buy anything
>>59368861Cute, I like Charjabug.
>>59369059You can also throw 3 Pokemon into Wonder Box and check every hour. Most of the time you get stuff you just throw back in but sometimes you get something decent to use for trade fodder
Why are people acting like some of the megas are going to be bad forever when they've already shown that they'll balance and change stuff with mons?
>>59369066I still have this random shiny piplup from wondertrade, i dunno what to ask for it.For funsies i tried to see if anyone wants it for raging bolt, but so far its no bueno.
yeah, this thing is cancer manifest
>>59369068Gholdengo or Floette maybe. Go Gholdengo if you're aiming lower.
>>59369068I find it fairly easy to get pre-gen 8 legendaries with random shinies, but there aren't any we can use yet in Champions anyway
>>59368888>meganiumoh no no no
Does anyone know where to find the newly extracted assets? I'm looking for raw sprites of recently added Pokémon and megaevolutions
>>59369068you need your shinies to be Balltism if you want free legendaries
>>59369073After I got bodied by this fucker when trying a M Sceptile team in UB2, I went back to my speed control team. The next three I encountered were all bodied the same way: Mega Kang Fake Out while Chandelure set-up Trick Room, then Heat Wave + Double Edge ended its life before it could become a problem.
good aspect of mega malamar: farigiraf does fuck nothing damage to it
>booting up the app shows ZardXBut that's not the meta Zard...
>>59369095Get back to editing youtuber
>>59368670Bullet Punch is better on the mega set anyways.
>gave up speed to max hp for attackers>suddenly winrate skyrocketswas that the trick all along, instead of getting one shot they survive with 15-20% and just one shot in returnwith spread moves they survive even more
>no 60fps>still need to undock the Switch 2 to fix resolution>no improvements to the terrible box systemILCA truly was a mistake
>>59369151Unless you 100% need to outspeed a specific threat, you're almost always better off with HP and speed control.
>Playing on phone>Can't find toggle for graphicsThis game runs like shit
I haven't played since XY and even then never played doubles. Can someone help me out here? Doesn't need to be perfect just enough to get me started. I got a Pelipper from Pokémon Go and was thinking to make a rain based team. Is this lineup decent? I heard Sinistcha is good, will try to get my hands on one. Arcanine is there for Intimidate but maybe there are better options? I haven't spent any VP yet.
>Scolipede is the only new bug type>it's mega sucksWhy does GF hate bug so much? Every time I come back to Pokemon to give them another chance they just royally fuck bug type up the ass. Wasn't this franchise inspired by Ultra Man and bug fighting?
>>59369014I built a 2-turn explosion-based team that ends battles fast and puts enough damage down field to net about 150 VP per fight. I don't know if this was always the case, but even if you KO all 4 of your opponent's mons as well, a suicide move always kills you first, so you're all but guaranteed to lose with the team (you can win if and only if you manage to knock out their last 2 mons with your 3rd, but your 4th mon stays standing and its explosion fails because it has no targets)
>>59369163>Pelipper>Basculegion>ArchaludonIsn't this basically the core of rain teams? I don't know how got all those but you're better off than I am. >Whimsicott>DragoniteAll seem to have uses in rain teams too.
>>59369174>I don't know if this was always the case, but even if you KO all 4 of your opponent's mons as well, a suicide move always kills you firstit was always the case I think. it's why in the battle frontier it's often a meme to use explosion outside of very specific emergencies
>>59369174What rank do you do this in? Master? I got a Metagross I could make go boom.
>>59369163Team looks good. If you wanna go full Rain, consider dragonite for Hurricane and Thunder. Raichu seems like an awkward mon in your team, since i dont think either XY megas gel with rain so much.Make sure Arcanine is full support with snarl plus will o wisp, which would make it a bootleg incineroar, which would be fine for now
I’m playing at work hehehe
>>59369008You don't even need much VP to start with anyway. You have more than enough to get a team that'll get you to Master rank, and by then you're swimming in VP. Shit, I've almost bought out the whole shop at this point, just some clothing items left.
>>59369153This game is so fucking lazily made
>>59369053There's free pants and socks to cover everything up you retard.
>>59369162It runs better than I expected. I only see stuttering when certain Pokemon enter the field, but otherwise seems to run fine.
>>59369194I am reporting you to your boss so you can play together and be friends
>>59369215I didnt get any pants but i already have a bunch of vp again just from battling
Scolopedebros We lost
How F2P friendly is this game if I don't own a switch, don't trade with anyone, and play completely by myself
>>59369240>>59368919
>>59369240Its a bit annoying if you just hard limit yourself like that, but it is doable. The starter teams are not terrible, but might be overshadowed now with mons like gholdengo running around.
>>59369240still veryas long as you know what mons are good you can build a very competent team in no time at alland even if your team is suboptimal the majority of the ladder is in the same boat
>>59369240I got to MB on both formats using just pulls from the ranch. You can do just fine
How much use will Swagger get now that Mega Simple Plan exists?
>it's ANOTHER singles battle challenge
>lose with my ass team due to heatwave miss against maxed out team in great ball rank>get insanely madI shouldn't play this game for my sanity I'm still seething
The game looks fucking awful on tablets (I have an S11 Ultra and my girlfriend has an M3 iPad), it's like 360p and there are no graphics settings...
>>59369240Just pick Tyranitar as your starter.
>>59368527Anyone got a list of countries that Pokémon champions is available in.It's not released in south africa so I'm wondering if I can just vpn Europe to spoof
weezing should have been to the game, cant stand this prankster shit every.single.fucking.match
This season is just 20 days? I'm not complaining but it's weird that it's so short.
>>59369321They realized no one is going to play this game if they drip feed content every two months so now we have short seasons.
>farming people hard with mega Mawile because they don’t know how strong it is.One shotting these fools feels so good
>>59369325do we know the actual length of the next two seasons or are we presuming they are all 20
>>59369325NTA, but whatever gets me closer to finding out if Darkrai's good or just a meme with his Mega. I want to believe they'll give it Dark Aura or something to buff its attack, but after murdering Scolipede today, I'm not so sure they care.
>>59369305>lose because the one retard in the entire game ran choice scarf sylveon with a helping hand dragonitecant even take this shit luck based game serious anymore
Did they add more free box space yet
>>59369335lmao
>>59369332you just got styled on by a drooling noob and i guarantee it was cause you fucked up
>>59369331guy who leaked some of the new mega abilities before mentioned mega darkrai's is basically bad dreams but it does more damage per turn.
>>59369327how you built it?
>Strength Sap Sinistcha + Mega StaraptorJust shut the game down
>>59369332having a bad matchup is different from getting haxed. I would rather lose that way
>>59369335
So who was our biggest loser today?
>>59369347Kek
>>59369347>Parting Shot Grimmsnarl into Mega Staraptor
>>59369354Annihilape or Scolipede
Waiter, waiter, more powerful Pokemon that are bad against Charizard please!
>>59369354We are
Did mega Slowbro get any good new partners?
Is there no starter pack for mobile devices? The premium store only shows the battle pass and premium sub thing.
>>59369347tangling hair could have saved us from this
Rate my current team:GengarIncineroarRaichuHaven't played competitively since gen 7 but im having a ton of fun.
Is Musharna the slowest Pokemon in the game? That's gotta be worth something.
>>59369347I could've SWORN Contrary didn't trigger on stat drops from allies just to prevent shit like this from happening but I suppose I was mistaken
>>59369388That's Defiant and Competitive you're thinking of, it has to be the opponent for those.
>>59369343>Super Bad DreamsYeah it's all over then, unless Dark Void's totally changed in the manner that ZA did it. Drain Punch + Yawn in one move would be very obnoxious and keep Mega Darkrai alive under screen conditions, a 50% hitrate move without a dedicated Gravity teammate and no healing moves would straight kill it.This is just me coping, but didn't the leaker get Pyroar's wrong?
>>59369366It's hilarious that they added that shit and gave every Dragalge and Staraptor fan a heart attack only for not a SINGLE mon added to even use it.
So is Grimmsnarl not just better Sableye
What are you even supposed to run on Mega Metagross now?His stabs aren't good, his coverage moves will miss out on KOs.
>>59369186Nah I'm puttering around in pokeball cuz it always loses. Which is fine, I don't intend to climb until I have a comfortable VP buffer to actually experiment with teams>Metagrosspoor choice. Base explosion is useless against ghost types which are quite prevalent. My team uses Mega Glalie for Refrigerate and Gardevoir for Misty Explosion so there are no immunities, and then the allies are Final Gambit Staraptor and Final Gambit Lucario.
>>59369153They were told to turn competitive Pokemon into the shittiest live service game possible. That's it. There is nothing valuable in this game.
>>59369400pyroar's was correct
>>59369407>take away all of Metagross' options as a Mega that made it so scary>mfw Salamence is losing Hyper Voice
Tier list most broken move types to have>SSS tierGrass>S TierRock>F tierNormal
>>59369376incineroar is gay
>>59369388>>59369393yeah otherwise self stat drops wouldn't work either
>>59369438honestly incineroar is not only perfect gay furry bait, but also they keep making meta around him and are self aware of it, they tried make quackavall to counter him, but he shit the beds after all night anal sex with the tiger
Who do I need to run to kill this dumb fucking Markiplier bird
>>59369405they took thunder wave away from grimmsnarlsableye still has it
>>59369453Raichu Y, Mega Aero, anything faster that's supereffective
>>59369400You w>>59369407on't be using Darkrai in comp anyway.
>>59369460>>59369407My bad. What I meant to say was: "Did people forget about Meteor Mash?"
I find only female pyroar in recruit is there any difference?
>>59369407>>59369429Either you guys are pretending to have played old mega formats or have a terrible memory, it has the exact moves as it used to plus even more options like Psychic Fangs and Body Press
>>59369347jfc
>>59369470Nope
>>59369464Heavy Slam was so much better. Meteor Mash wasn't the sauce in gen 7 either, Iron Head was preferred.
can't find any info on which pokemon rotated out
>>59369458I use Ychu but the problem is they’re often paired with Sinistcha / Grimmsnarl
>>59369471If these people had good memory they would know that this game sucks and they're being scammed off of their time.
>>59369480Because there are none, why did anyone think would happen?
>>59369471Are you going regale us with tales of body press iron def Metagross lmaoIt also lost power up punch, it has no way to boost its output anymore.
>>59369485oh boy another 3 months of garchomp
>>59369359Kantowank and its consequences have been a disaster for Pokemon.
>>59369486PuP was very niche in singles and never saw use in doubles so it's hardly a loss, the damage of EQ/Stomping/Hammer Arm is too good to drop as coverage
Oh great, the autistic faggots made Blaziken into Physical EspathraThe rapture cant come soon enough
>pokemon usage rankings already out>Garchomp still no. 1Charizard is falling out of fashion now that blazikens here tho.
Is there single player content or is it all pvp?
>>59369510pvp
>hey big boy it's time to gimme that Wide Lens back
>>59369510
>>59369347>Starraptor + Incin Lead>Intimidate>Intimidate x2>Mega for Contray>Have Incin use Parting Shot on StarraptorOr better yet, some shit like Charm Whims to buff your bird with debuffs. I am going to make Gamefreak suffer for what they did to Scolipede.
>jumpscared by life orb garchomp in poke balloh boy there goes any interesting item choices and niche megas
They should restrict Items so you can only have 1 of each in your party>Leftover>Life Orb>King's RockAnd suddenly we fix the item diversity issue.
>>59369540Anon I…
>>59369540Wait... you can use the same item on multiple pokemon?
>>59369544>>59369546I know Champions has an Item Clause. I mean in a party, you can ONLY use 1 of either of those, and ONLY one. You can't have a Pokemon with leftover AND Life orb.
>>59369550That's retarded and you're retarded.
>>59369550Pokemon can't hold two items
>>59369553They already do it with "Restricted" Pokemon. May as well do it with objectively good items so we see more variety on items usage.
>>59369556And with restricted there's a very clear line, retarded as it may be sometimes. There's no such thing with items. Who's gonna decide it? Your hurt fee fees?Again, you're retarded. As expected of a muh variety jeet.
>>59369560>Oh boy Life and Leftover make up over 90% of item usage and all other items in the game only 10%. >...Yeah sure, that sounds greatEither that or add cooler items sooner, Kojima.
>Staraptor has higher usage than Charizard
Release Thundurus, you cowards.
>>59369354golisopod and salamence (not even in the fucking game yet)
>>59369571You just know they're going to neuter Contrary and/or Strength Sap the next chance they get because of this
>>59369565>Let's ban by muh usage ratesWe tried that once during swooshie. We got one of the most cancerous metagames ever in history of this kuso game format.When you remove "cancer", surprise surprise, whatever was second place will become the new top dog and the "cancer", and you will start crying about it again.Git gud, you whiny baby faggot.
>>59369571Only usable new mega, lots of people will try it before it normalizes. I wish I could see their faces when I swagger their bird.
>>59369577>>59369571It's not even been 24 fucking hours you whiny babies.Good lord. I swear even my zoomer students have more patience than you manchildren.
>>59369583what do you teach
>>59369587Cringeology
Is there a summary of all the new movepool changes like sceptile getting earthpower?
>rock slide
>>59369612Yep, it's still busted.Even when I account for 1 flinch, the game gives me a double flinch.
>>59369482I lead whimsi sylveon and they cannot ohko the latter so they drop to 2 voices + moonblast if needed. just don't lead badly into it. granted ive only fought mega ball guys but its season reset right
>cant get Red and Blues outfit>but we can let boys use girl outfits wear makeup and do faggot posesDoes the Pokemon Company have a single normal person left? Who the fuck asked for this? I thought this was a franchise for kids. Where is all the cool shit kids actually want?
12-2 in doubles with this team starting from zero AMA
>play on a foldable>still rotates to landscape on a square screenhmmmm
Uhhh... Can I transfer pokemon from my Pokemon Y? That was the last physical game I playedpls don't judge
is it possible to play this on an emulator? I want to play it from a PC
>>59369657Yes as long as you already downloaded Bank
>>59369657Y -> Bank -> HOME -> ChampionsYou gotta pay for Bank to HOME transfer unfortunately and it's one way transfer
>>59369579Dragalge will probably be pretty good
Is there anything I should know/do as a first timer on mobile? I see the starter pack seems super good from the quick FAQ - but can I fuck up my account anyhow misusing VP/tickets/etc?
>>59369654How do you feel after this achievement?
How does battle work on mobile? Can I battle someone I know in real life without giving them my phone number or personal info?
>>59369654I feel like there are better options available now for Steelix and Gengar, but I can understand bringing regular Raichu because lightening rod support is going to be crucial for Zard now that electric mons may start proliferating.
>>59369657you'll likely need to hack your 3ds to download Bank, then pay for a month of HOME to recieve the monsonce it's in Champions however you can safely let the sub lapse until you need to make some more transfers>>59369687Bank is free now
>>59369697nice but I mainly wanted to show it in the context of my teambuilder>>59369711it's extremely unoptimised I agree but I had no choice lol
>make it to master ball with aurorus and mega meganium>get disappeared by the IDF and the mossad kills me then uses babylonian black magic to resurrect my corpse and consciousness so that I'm an eternal slave for israel
>>59369720Bank itself is free, but you need the paid version of HOME to transfer from Bank IIRC
>>59369699uh yeah you just give them your friend code and add each other and send them a battle request. that's crazy how you don't know how this nintendo shit works by now. and it's fucking weird that someone you know in real life doesn't know your phone number or your "personal info" wtf did you give them a fake name or something and meet them in back alleys? post makes no fucking sense.
Did anyone else realize Annihilape lost Final Gambit????????????
>>59369699you need to give them your phone number specific mobile carrier phone model home address and state and what times you are not home and also a copy of the key to your house
>>59369729yeah you do need to pay for home which is why I never just traded hacked mons from gen 1-7 yet because I had no real reason to do it and I got my team from pokemon go for this easily
>>59369652>kids>caring about fucking red and blue (1996)lil bro, move on
>>59369652kids probably think it's hilarious to make their character look like a faggot and then change it back after trolling people online
>>59369652>every other trainer I beat is some shape of wierd faggot with colored hair or butch lesbian with a shitty fade haircut and gaudy makeupNo wonder Palworld is cleaning clocks, its so strange when Pokemon designs have become less outrageous than the humans are.
bros I'm having a problem with the mobile game was wondering if any of you had a solution. I'm trying to link my account to Nintendo/Google but by the time the webview opens and I log in to link it, when it goes back to the app it gets refreshed and "reopens" from the start. I'm basically stuck in a loop how the fuck do I fix this?
>>59369694you can't buy the starter pack on mobile as far as people are awaredon't waste VP on clothes until you have a decent teamthat's basically it
>>59368547my first battle was against a nasty plot zap cannon raichu y who survived a sucker punch with 1 hphe got outsped by gengar anyway but he can take one sucker punch fine probably. i don't think the guy who built it maxed out its defense or anything.
>>59369756Life orb for the sucker next time.
>>59369694oh yeah, I forgot CHOOSE FEMALER TRAINER90% of the clothing/emote options are feminine as fuckyou have literally nothing to work with as a male trainer unless you want to crossdress as Canari
>>59369747I don't know shit but you might want to use the default browser of the phone
How is Blaziken doing? Does it still fuck or should I go Staraptor?
>>59369744How old are you man to be caring about this
>>59369740Guarantee they would be selling way more passes if they gave out even regular trainer costumes from Gens 1&2. Ffs I can call myself a Dragon Tamer but cant have a cape like Lance, shits fucked.
>>59369772When I was 13 back in 2017, the first board I used on 4chan was /vp/, I just assume that this board is the board with the biggest amount of underage posters in the entire website and you should too (as you can see by the low quality)
where do i start on deciding how to build a team? i feel like i will just end up picking random mons that dont work together and especially dont fit the meta
>>59369787look for teams on twitter or youtube
>>59369787Pick your favorite Pokemon and use the in game statistics to see who they’re commonly paired with And don’t have a shitty Pokemon as your fav
>>59369772>tfw cant even get Ash's hat>but we can crossdressIts apart of the game design philosophy, its a valid complaint. I really wouldnt mind it as much if it wasnt the only way to make your trainer stand out, like give us way more options and show regular dudes who grew up with this game more respect. Like dont make it completely obvious you have abandoned all your testosterone>>59369759 even the Boy trainer looks feminine.
>>59369794>>59369792thanks, any rec on a specific person to look up for a few starter team ideas? i like trick room and bug pokemon
>>59369772If there was no options to make your trainer look like a massive faggot im sure you would be the first to complain
>>59369801>>59369808Times change as you grow old, I understand being upset at not having the clothing options you want (I for one would love to play as a balding grandpa) but you shouldn't put others down because of it, some people want to be faggy and thats good and ok, some people want to be burly men and thats good and ok too and they should get it as well, its not one or the other, pokemon is for everyone.
Provided Staraptor doesn't end up getting countered out of the meta I could legitimately see Single-restricted style "protect the King" teams revolving around supporting/complementing it as the centerpiece forming into it's own archetype.
>>59369819Floette already had that in MA, so will Staraptor.
Is it just me or does Champions still have the best customization out of the Switch games bar maybe Z-A since it's problem is just the female options outstripping the male ones again?
>>59369812Again, there are no men in champions, just twinks and pseudo lolis. Would be cool to have different bodytypes but again, the design principles of this game is total dogshit
>>59369826Z-A is better yes I don't understand why they didn't just copy Z-A it has the literal best customization in the series
>>59368527>swampert got wave crash>feraligatr still doesn’t have itWhy are they so fucking stingy with this move?
>>59369354Pokemon fans
What is up with the massive saturation of Falinksfags pretending Defiant is a bad ability
>>59369826No, Swsh and even SV have more options (face changes a lot). Champions is psychotically restrictive
Hi guysDoes the competitive community in this game play singles or doubles?
>>59369833How would you feel if I told you that Game Freak is niggardly even with moves under 100 BP and no secondary effects?Power Gem comes to mind.
>>59369847Both, but doubles is taken more seriously here.
>>59369847doubles because singles is shitty 3v3 instead of kino smogon 6v6
>>59369847They play with the genitals of children instead.
Malamar getting Psycho Boost would be pretty funny
>>59369832I'll believe you on that>>59369845I have to admit I was thinking "best" as in the game doesn't force you into alternative outfits that make your customization moot or make you stick to a uniform.
>>59369847Doubles, outside of occasional in-game online competitions there's no support for singles. Every official IRL competition and pretty much every community tournaments are doubles.
>>59369435>sips your sap
I think Staraptor should get Dragon Ascent
>>59369663yeah, bluestacks 5 with android 13 works for me >>59368471>>59368079I use the stock settings with the high performance profile, though it does take some time to load the game
>Ranked Battles are inside a Vegas Casino>casual battles lock you in a room with no windows>the main screen is you stuck in the waiting roomMy character has not seen sunlight in however many moons now because we have no open areas in Champions, how hard is it to make an outdoor area like Free Play from the stadium games, like the least you could do is add more areas to battle in im so sick of seeing the same fucking two spaces are you telling me TPC blatantly give this little of a shit about its playerbase knowing they are just too big to fail?
>>59369893Aw you're cute
>>59369897We are confirmed to get more arenas eventually.
>>59369897I hate that there's no empty arenas.No, I don't wanna look at these hideous NPCs. Hated it in SV, hated it in Swooshie, hated it here.I specially hated it in SV. What the fuck is their obsession with black grannies?
>>59369612>>59369897>are you telling me TPC blatantly give this little of a shit about its playerbase knowing they are just too big to fail?Yes. (You) are a number and your numbers tastes and aversion to slop is overruled by the millions of double digit iq brown children being raised by single mothers and ipads
>>59369899Yeah, just like we were confirmed to get more customization. Look how much we just got now.
Malamar can swap contrary and then mega to get ut back
>>59369848Fucking every other fire type gets flare blitz why the water-type version not similarly distributed? They even nerfed double-edge’s distribution.

I'm pretty bad at team building, pic is my one team and box. as is my team is super weak to fire. I've got venu with earth power so he should outspeed in sun and kill most things, but that's basically my only answer and I obviously won't always have sun. I'll be able to trade pokemon with my friends later, but I really just don't know how to balance out these two modes. I want to have a metagross iron defense body press mode, and sun zard Y mode. any tips/suggestions?
>>59368849>just give me some free wins lmaoNo
>>59369914Sorry, we cannot draw upon from PBR because that'd be admitting we got mogged by a 20 years old game.
>>59369904>every rank up cutscene is with someone coming into the building just to tell you to keep battling>never has your trainer going outside to celebrate>every battle area is in an enclosed space with you being spectated at all timesI feel like there something TPC wants to tell us but im not quite sure here...
>>59369920Isolate. Secure yourself inside. Consume media. Develop schizophrenia from lack of real world stimulation and an inability to divide reality from fiction that has replaced your instincts with poison memory triggers
>>59369916Put Garchomp over Maushold or Whimsicott, it's a great answer to Fire types and the team doesn't need 3 supporters
Dondozo would fit PERFECTLY on my team god I hate gamefreak
>>59369948this but crobat
>>59369893tranny
>>59369940yeah the mouse was first on my list of things that were gonna go, might see if I can't just put encore on Whimsicott instead because I have it running two offensive fairy moves, moonblast and gleam when it's really should just be focused utility.
>>59369893Beautiful woman
>>59369897why did primeape die
How do I decide what is good/bad to recruit from the ranch? Do IVs exist?
>>59369959choose a good pokemon and no
>>59369901>What the fuck is their obsession with black grannies?Someone at Gamefreak has a mammy fetish I guess Aunt Jemima being removed from stores pushed them over the edge and they are out for revenge now
>>59369959it's entirely dependent on if the species has any viabilityit doesn't matter what set the pokemon has because you can change it however you wantso as long as you pass on shit like watchog in favor of good mons like garchomp or pokemon you need for a specific strategy you'll be fine
>>59369901gotta appeal to the american player base, they worship niggers after all
>>59369958He was very upset at the half baked unfinished beta test Pokemon Stadium
>>59369983jej
>>59369916Don't use Body Press Metagross lol
>>59369983wow that's actually what happens, it gets so angry that it fucking dies. it said that in the pokedex. holy shit.
>>59370009but it's so funny
And why should I care if the Pokemon that I like get shit on?
>liked stadium as a kid and dabbled in netbattle back in the 2000s but i was one of those retards who built all ubers and never really did strategy>this comes out on mobile>i can transfer my pokemon go shit from homeinterestingguess ill dabble in this
>>59369893I cant find Champions in the playstore, anything specific I have to do?
>>59369898>>59369950the duality of men>>59370037it's "hidden"you have to click another game by The Pokemon Company (tcg sleep etc), click on the publisher and scroll down
Can you do Home and stuff on Emulator? Or are you shit out of luck and gotta be rentals only?
>>59370065I think home is limited to the switch? idk sorry
>>59370065you can't use a switch emulator for homeif you have a 3ds you can send gen 1-7 from bank to home with the mobile app (premium home sub required) or snag some guys on GO and beg on GTSotherwise it's the gacha mines for you
32 SpA Fire Mane Mega Pyroar Helping Hand Overheat vs. 12 HP / 0 SpD Mega Charizard Y in Sun: 165-195 (100 - 118.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

>>59370080Okay?I can give you a calc of Sneasel oneshotting Garchomp. Doesn't make Sneasel not a shitmon.
I heard there are bots online to gen mons usable in champions. do they require SV + home or do they directly trade them to Champs?

>>59370089>4x damage compared to resisted hitIt's just an interesting calc, it can do pretty crazy damage just spamming fire moves and outspeeds most of the meta
>>59370083you're better off doing Home stuff on your phone while playing on pc trust me, you don't want to go through the hassle of having to open and close Champions to transfer a mon over and over again
What does "proc" mean?
>>59370151it's synonymous with "activate" or "trigger"i've been trying to write out an example in the context of pokemon but my brain keeps defaulting to fire emblem heroes (i have been a slave to that game for approximately 9 years)
>sweeping>two turns from closing out the game>backline Sneedsler>Dire Claw>"""""""""10%""""""""" chance to sleep.Every fucking time. You cannot tell me with a straight face this game doesn't have forced 50/50 win rate mechanics.
>>59370166>be me>losing>sneedsler rolls 10% sleep twice>win
>>59369453I've been using Delphox as of late with some reflect and intimidate support. Gotta get at least one -1 attack before they mega evolve.
>>59370089One is a x4 weakness and the other is a resist.Overheat in the Sun from Pyroar is an absolute nuke that decimates anything other than the bulkiest of resists or something like Blissey.

>>59370181is mega delphox faster? I've been using mega scovillain to burn it
anything you guys recommend using for singles?
What about staraptor is contrary?
>haven't played since USUM>set up Home account>have to pay to transfer>whatever, I'll do that later>download champions on phone>links account >error 10000So, how fucked am I?
>>59370196Mega Delphox's 134 base speed vs mega Staraptor's 110.
basculegion is OP honestly, it's the ultimate trade beast>cannot get ohkod by anything that's not a 100BP super effective movr>with scarf it usually is able to OHKO your non bulky mons anyway>can troll with aqua jet if needed>comes back to last respect and ohko everything
>>59370191i don't often hear it for pokemon stuff, but those are all good examples since you have to do certain things for those items to trigger or the effect only has a set chance of activating (like dire claw, which can cause 3 different status conditions)oh hey speaking of which i actually thought of a good example of the word "proc" applying to pokemon: the effect spore abilityit has a 30% chance to activate if you get hit by a contact move and if it does the opponent gets hit with one of the same statuses dire claw can inflictit's on the funny flower
>>59370201He's in his rebellious phase
>>59370206yeah I agree it might have to do with multiple outcomes, which pokemon generally lacks of (luckily)
>>59370187>in the sun
Is there a retard proof autopilot team yet?
>>59370151it's originally short for "special procedure", an event in coding that triggers based on something elseit usually refers to effects that both happen randomly (secondary move effects) and/or on specific conditions (berries and policies) but some people also use it to refer to something that always guarantees a second effect

>>59370233that's one if the few mons able to outspeeding or taking the hit and killing back. 90 BP but LO makes it strong
Where did this retarded copypaste garchomp aero team come from?
>>59370163>(i have been a slave to that game for approximately 9 years)I left during the cow's arc and have been free since. Never even got the urge to reinstall like other games.>>59370228I've heard it as "Programmed Random OCcurrence."
Mega Scrafty is kinda great in 3v3. The double intimidate gives you a great lead against physical attacker, which lets you setup one or two dragon dance. After that it's doing insane damage while tanking hits like a champ. (as long as it's not fairy)
>>59370322it'll be cool until mega staraptor takes over 3v3 too.
>>59370222not really but zard y whimsi sulveon is extremely easy to pilot
>>59370329I suppose I'll try that. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but I am struggling to win even with the meme bird. Trick room has been my number 1 enemy in this game and I hate having to run Imprison Giraffe to even have a chance against it. I genuinely have no idea how else to beat it.
>start playing today>want to play trick room>blow all of my skip tickets>get zero trick room setters
>>59370363Not one Psychic type? Gardevoir, Gallade, Chandelure?
>>59370363use it on a traditionally fast pokemon to throw people off
Thought they might adapt the UI to phones a bit but no. God damn this is ass
>>59370151Programmed Random OCcurrance, originally meant for things like chance on hit to occur retard gamers parroted it to now mean any and all triggers even if there is no random element
>add in like 20 new Pokémon >houndstone, analape, goldenegro Oh fuck you
>>59370393Bro is mad at houndstone when basculegion has been in the game since release
Anyone have any good ideas for a team with Mega Metagross? I really like Metagros + Coaching Sneasler, but I can't find another four to go with it that feel right. I've tried rain. I've tried tailroom. Is there a way to make it work with Zard Y?
>>59370397It's ANOTHER (better) abuser of last respects and makes Charizard Y even more meta central
>>59370399better????? he's slower and has less coverage
>>59370400*fluffy*
>>59370398I run a team with both megas on them but they're really two seperate modes.
>>59370402I’ve never seen houndstone used without sand rush and Ttar desu
i haven't played pokemon since b&w 6v6 in the first few weeks with shadow tag chande and japanese names for all the monspicked this up today and got really lucky with my rolls but when it comes to battling I'm just rolling on instinct stuck at great ball 2
>>59370402In what world is Fluffy better than Adaptability
Eelevate Fuck you nintendo
>>59370430it's kino
>>59370432It's broken and retarded just to advertise Canari plushies
I love raichu Y
No matter how I think of a Mega Pikachu team, it's too fragile to be good
>>59370453that little fucker bullies my whole ttar team with zap focus blast
Am I going to have to run non-mega Raichu just for lightning rod this season?I have mons that don't like electricity.
>>59370471There's still rhyperior and Mega Sceptile
what kind of EVs are being used on Starraptor? not sure whether to go bulky or speedy
>>59370480go speedy, click CC and get your bulk that way
>>59370418It's mostly just about learning the meta and making sure your team has answers to the big threat and you didn't bring a bunch of mons that all don't get instantly steamrolled by a single Garchomp or something.
>>59370348bird is probably not even that good, it's just a new toy
New bread. >>59370512>>59370512>>59370512
>>59370480I went with Attack and Speed for mine. Holy shit this bird is fucking busted lmao
>>59370480my guess its gonna start with people running it offensive and then over time running a more defensive variant.
>>59368778Technically it was Morgrem's signature move. Grimmsnarl has Spirit Break. Always found it weird that they made Kowtow Cleave, a move with the same concept and effect, instead of just giving False Surrender to Kingambit. Other than a slightly higher base power the only difference is being affected by Sharpness, which Kingambit doesn't even get.
My fucking god singles is fucking cancerous now jesus fucking christ
>>59368527>they give elektross a custom abilitycouldn't' they do this for all of the weaker megas? I mean skarmory with good as gold + though claws isn't going to cause anyone to lose their hairs
