BIGMONEYNOWHAMMY
Pokemon?
>picked the male to play as because this is a "permanent" game>he's a fucking super twink like in ZA where 99% of clothing looks terrible and now I'm stuckgod damn it
>>59577766>>59577768Sorry anons. Will leave it to the experts next time.
>>59577755Thanks for Guzma
>Megalisopod's ability is Tactical Retreat>at 100% health, first attack on its T1 gains increased priority, and switches out after landing a hitLiterally wham, bam thank you maam
>>59577779How do people still not understand the difference between the name and subject fields in 2026?
I don't follow Champions but I'm invested in learning Golisopod's ability. When is patch?
>>59577779Lol fucking retard. KILL yourselfjust kidding, Ive been there
>>59577790Being a phone poster who ver rarely creates threads and got interrupted by two back-to-back work calls will do that to you. If someone wants to make a non-fucked thread I wouldn’t blame them.
>Gener
>>59577791maintenance in 20 minutes, patch should take somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4 hours
I have /champions not pcg bookmarked so its all good
>Golisopod can't get it going!
>>59577759sorry for shitting up the back half of the last thread by poking the schizo with a sticki imagine people who actually want to use this general to discuss the game and use these threads regularly don't want to sift through all of that again
>>59577777Wasted
>>59577805it's okay anon, i still love you :3
>>59577805Its ok anon just spread the GTS love and watch him mald instead. It's funnier when he doesnt get the (You)s and he just keeps going
Isn't forced retreat a good thing if it allows you to use First Impression (buffed) again?
>>59577823It will be >>59577787Trust
TICK TOCK GOLISPOD FAGS!
>>59577823no because that didnt work in practice for the originaland the buff is only 10 power
>>59577808thank you, pic related>>59577823you can achieve the same result by switching of your own free will and it doesn't cost you your ability or put any of your other pokemon at risk of eating a hit that could kill them without warningthis ability is basically the only thing holding golisopod back from having any competitive success as it is
Get it while it's hot some dude on Zuckbook is hosting a giveawayShiny Alpha Golisopod giveaway (Safari Ball)So Golisopod is finally coming to champions let's celebrate!Want one in Z-A? (sadly this is a legends ZA giveaway I might do home in the future but storage is an issue for this)1. Rename a Pokémon you don't need to golisopod (ALL LOWERCASE VERY IMPORTANT! ) (you will only be offered golisopod if you offer a pokemon with this nickname.2. Use Link Trade code 8826 01883. Find the trainer Light(skip anyone else until you find it, the code is universal) (this can take 1 minute or 10-20 it depends on how many other players are searching)4. Trade and enjoy!PLEASE DO NOT SEND Pokémon that evolve by trading, such as Haunter, Machoke, etc.
AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
>its maintenance timeWHERE ARE THE LEAKS
I BELIEVE
They dont get called out enough for how lazy they’ve been with the mega evolutions anyway. Dramp, hawlucha, and chimecho all deserved better.
GOLISOBROS HOLD THE LINE
datamine in about 30 mins
be a shit ability
>>59577867
it keeps emergency exit
its gonna be moxie
Source tells me Golisopod is stable.Please god
>>59577823slow pivoting is good in theory and you can kinda sorta make it work in singles, but in doubles what ends up happening is the first attack causes pod to switch out and whatever gets forced in takes the second hit on the same turn it would be a good ability if it only activated at the end of the turn
BUGMONEYNOWHAMMY
Add Turtonator shell trap is hilarious
i already lost all hope anyway
I don't care if it's dogshit or not, I'm still using my lad to cave in someone's head.
In war, the silence is more traumatizing than the noise.
info regarding datamine
>>59577800Other bad abilities might make me disappointed but this is the sole one that would make me furious.
its probably a good ability since its a dlc mon
it will be slow start
>>59577891So any time between now and 45~ minutes
>golisopod cant get going
>>59577898
at least i get the info before my flight
It's crazy that they haven't revealed anything yet. What are they planning?
i like base form golisopod more than the mega so i'm kind of sad that megaing might be the only way for it to not be bad
>>59577906where you headed
>>59577894>garchomp z
I just want more perma box space. Put it in the battle pass and half of my monthly allowance is yours, TPC. I can walk home anyway.
>>59577915Golisopod saw some success in Swsh restricted format it is nowhere near as bad as Smogon players think
>>59577927There's no talking to that type. Everything is either "big 6" or "it's shit", they can't defy their programming
they havent updated it yet
>>59577933Lmfao even their updates go at a snails pace, this game is nothing but slow drip feeds
>>59577933they know this guy is waiting to leak so they are holding off. what a joke this is. do they really need to drip feed this badly?
>>59577933>Hi guys, we're going to go down for maintenance. It's going to take a few hours to get the update up because we're making some changes under the hood.>/vp/ one minute after they don't update:
>>59577927hm, I did not know that
>>59577933lol they are still finalzing what mons should be added kek
it's so fucking over....
>>59577917to u uwu
>Emergency ExitYou mother fuckers
>>59577956LARP
>>59577959ok, wait the 5 minutes
SWIFT SWIM
im in
its gonna be a renamed parental bondi mean, look at all his new limbs
JUST POST IT ALREADY
What if its just something normal like tough claws?
>>59577982Literally what most of us are hoping for. ANYTHING that isn't Emergency Exit or something negative.
>>59577982it would kill mega scizor's usage forever
>>59577982Tough Claws is a fucking amazing ability though?Garchomp Z right now would kill for it.
>>59577985They're not even the same type
>>59577989Yes they are
>>59577989Bug steel when mega, boy
>>59577989are you retarded or what?
>>59577989
i forgot autists were this easy to bait
Have an hour before I’m locked into work meetings for the rest of the afternoon so if anyone wants a shiny Level 100 male Golisopod in a Lure Ball or Premier Ball, just ask.
>Traunt BRAOAHHHS?!?!
>>59577998>Merely pretending
Skill Link
I-i was only pretending to be retarded!
>>59577998just own up to it and say you forgot its typing lol
>>59577998>anons ISP watching him scramble to convince anons he was actually only PRETENDING to be retarded
>>59578013I'm only in this thread because I want to see his ability. Keep dancing for my amusement, puppet.
>>59578020
I didnt realise verlis was still around, just opened the thread this morning
I think they learned their lesson from the last two season launches and won't be pushing the update to the servers until maintenance is almost done.
>>59578033is there any reason why they are treating this update like a fucking game relase lol
>>59578039Probably no reason at all, just ILCA doing ILCA things
>>59578039Is this actually the first time you've experienced a maintenance period? They've done this a couple times already, tourist kun
>>59578039drip feed + they want your first new reg experience to be on champions itself, forces you to spend more VP building random shit
>>59578039Claude told them to do it
i'm shitting on the toilet while waiting for mega golisopod ability reveal Also why the fuck is no one talking about baxcalibur? lol
>>59578041I still can't believe they gave this game to them....
>>59578047It's already known to be good, and there's no way the mega doesn't keep Thermal Exchange.
THE UPDATE IS OUT
>>59578039this is more of ILCA being incompetent. probably stil selecting new mons, items and fixing bugs as we speak
>>59578047you're gonna fuck your asshole up just sitting there. wipe up and get out
Gonna go for a quick fap. After 10 min i need those leaks
>>59578060dont do ithttps://x.com/TM02_pokemon/status/2097521114633158661?s=20
>>59578047bax will always be decent to good. golisopod is all reliant on its ability
>>59578047Golisopod is the most exciting one because there's a possibility that a Pokemon historically hampered by a shitty ability could get an ability that doesn't suck.
EMERGENCYEXIT
i'm coming
of course as soon as i want to fap they leak shit
>>59578075You're leaking it
>>59578073oh my goodness it's coming it's coming aaaa I have to get to the bathroom

>no weezingyea i fucking called it
>>59578117Farfetch'd vs Watchog will go crazy in Pokeball tier
I'm so fucking tired of complete shitmons being added.At least give us mons that have some kind of niche. Did the fucking parrots have to count as separate mons?Really?
>>59578117The anon who shitposted about wormadam and oricorio was so close lol
exact same meta everyone, maybe come back in 2 years for a different meta
Emergency ExitThe Pokémon switches out of battle when its HP drops to 1/2 orless of its max.
>>59578117what the fuck?!
>>59578117HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OF COURSE>INDEEDEE THE ONLY RELEVANT POKEMON>EJECT BUTTON BUT NOT EJECT PACK>NO FUCKING CHOICE ITEMS>NO AVI FUCKING HATE THESE DEVS HOLY FUCK THIS GAME IS GIGA DEAD
Told you it keeps Emergency Exit
>It's Emergency ExitFUCK MY LIFE!!!
>>59578120>>59578119>>59578117ok back to ribbon mastering
>Pussied out of Weezing so they could keep their precious Megas on top for longer so now Misty Terrain is the only one without a dedicated setter currently
>>59578129is this how you learn you may be colorblind
>>59578137It's a gacha, they need to add plenty of shitmons as filler.
I JUST WANT ORICORIO.WAS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK?YOU GIVE US ALL THIS SHITMONS BUT I JUST WANNA DANCE
>>59578129nigga read
>>59578117>no weezingfuck off
>>59578129are you actually blind?
>>59578152Luckily for them there are like 800 shitmons
Abilitoes when
>mfw I can now use indeedee-F with gravity with M-delphox and psychic seed sneasler
>>59578147Makes sense, they're correcting their overcorrecting their dragon nerfs from over the years.
Aura Guard is the only new abilityhttps://pastebin.com/4ZxxTNGp
>>59578147>Dragonite destroys a data center
its absolutely nothing, you get maybe 1 relevant item and 1 relevant pokemon per patch. you get maybe 5 patches a year, so 5 items and 5 pokemon a year until we get back to anything resembling SV. So a few years at least
STEELY SPIRIT GOLISOPOD
Source tells me Golisopod is stablePlease god
This guy is such a faggot. Just post the fucking abilities, that's all literally anyone cares about.
This game is probably going to EoS in 2 years
>>59578117>All the terrains except MistyWTF
Hydration? Sure I guess
WONDER GUARD GOLISOPOD
>>59578172counting or not counting scrafty violence
GOLIBROS HOLD ON!!!
>>59578170inshaallah
>>59578173lucarios is the only new one
they clearly dont want to work on the game
>>59578167I wonder what gen 10 VGC will be like if they keep with this update pace. Is it even going to include all of the new Pokemon? Probably not, they still don't have all of the megas.
>>59578175They really really REALLY don't wanna add Weezing because Neutralizing Gas will confuse all the noobs.
indeedee sneasler is meta warping btw>>59578175weezing isnt in the game because neutralizing gas makes 90% of the megas useless
>>59578129brother they didn't add enough new mons for you to speedread the image so much
is Stakeout Golisopod? who else gets Stakeout?
>>59578174when they gave the VGC Hub to fucking ILCA of all people that should have been the first sign
>>59578183The mega abilities, dumbass.
>>59578190Thievul. It keeps EE.
>>59578190the dog iirc
>>59578190Thievul
>>59578190Arven's dog
>>59578185Champions is clearly designed to kill VGC by decoupling it with the mains series games and starving it of content.
>>59578190Thievul gets it and he's added.
Steely spirit. It's steely spirit. Oh my Arceus
>>59578202That's Perrserker
Incelleon
>>59578203why is the monke just sitting there.do a dynamic pose or something
>DUDE IT'S TOTALLY STEELY SPIRITYou guys just kinda gloss over Perserker getting added?
SAAR
>>59578194we dont know yet retard
Buff or just text adjustment?
>>59578175MISTY SURGE MEGA GOLISOPOD
>>59578208Too lame of a design to do anything cool
>>59578208It's striking its drum you low iq trog
>>59578212>>59578211good morning saars
>>59578214Text adjustment that makes sense because you can't stop tailwind or even priority status with Upper Hand.
>>59578213No shit, because the guy datamining is a retard attention whore who is prioritizing cosmetics over the shit people care about.
>>59578220you know what fuck you, golisopods keeping emergency exit
>>59578214Every move "change" just seems to be text updates.
>>59578203CINDERBASED
LOGS ARE HERE.NO REPLAYS BUT VIEW LOGS ARE HERE
They're adding help for noobs
IT KEEPS EMERGENCY EXIT HAHAHHAHAHAHHAA
>>59578117This is bait, right?
Run Away got buffed. It prevents trapping.You don't think Golisopod...
>>59578208He is watching 2 retard shitmons fight
>>59578233Also Theivul funnily enough.
ITS BALL FETCH
>>59578203Rillaboom looks so shit here, that drum is so retarded
>>59578227This seems like a massive trap, sometimes a Pokemon with a bad type matchup is the right choice to use
>>59578208They didn't invite him because he's unpopular and unloved
>persian>swalot>gogoat>thievul>sqwakabilly>mabostiff>grapploctholy loving mother of who the fuck asked
>>59578203Ah yes the fourth Galar starter, Salamence
>>59578247me, the one swalot chad in existence
I don't really understand why they gave Golisopod a mega just to keep him shit.
>>59578227>DON'T BRING CHARIZARD VS THE TTAR, AERO, AND GARCHOMP TEAM>FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KID DON'T FUCKING DO IT!
>>59578203Will mega Sal keep Grassimian in check?
>>59578247grapploct's kino
>>59578247They need shitmons for the gatcha. It can't all be winners.
>>59578247i remember gogoat being kind of based everytime i roll him in randbats, but yeah who the fuck asked for these niggas
>>59578253It's some retarded in-joke.>hurr this big strong guy is actually a coward
>>59578247Hot Take: It's better for shitmons to be added so we can have fuckass niche teams instead of just all OU mons.It might not be the most practical thing 99% of the time but it is fun to teambuild potential niches for these guys.
>>59578260>T. Geeta
>>59578247I genuinely don't know what move they could possible give Swalot to make him even remotely viable
>>59578255Those Aerilate moves are going to hurt at least
>>59578263I don't mind that they're shitmons but these aren't even fan favorite shitmons
Sources tell me Greedent is stable. Please God.
>still withholding all the fucking items>only relevant new mon is indeedee>no new music>pod has fucking emergency exitFIRE THESE DEVS FUCK FUCK FUCKDEAD GAME
>>59578259Some people also like grinding out the titles with shitmons.
>>59578265Minimize
Say something nice to this mysterious unplayable menu mascot
>>59578117What the fuck is that birb and why do we need 4?
>>59578253For the same reason they gave Garchomp another Mega and still made it shit.
>>59578265Recover would help. Poison should get its own recovery move.
>>59578260yeah because the level imbalance he's a tank with bulk up, grassy pelt when relevant, and milk drink
PRESS L TO LAUGH AT GOLISPODFAGS
>>59578271We still don't know abilities because the leaker's being a fucking dickhead
>8 minutes since the last postI miss the old dataminers who would just dump everything right away.
Someone else is gonna end up leaking the abilities while this current leaker is busy hogging them for attention.
3 more months
JEBAITEDWell, i hope you guys are patient
>>59578288you guys see the video of the dude huffing paint and straight up dying
WOW THAT WAS FUCKING NOTHING
>>59578284name 10 of >the old dataminers
WHO THE FUCK AM I GOING TO USE MISTY SEED WITH IF THERE'S NOT A MISTY SURGE POKÉMON AAAAAAA
>Milk Drink apparently got buffedhuh. Neat.
>>59578292Were there even 10? Scires and Kaphotics actually put shit out there.
>>59578296it'll prob be only usable by a move, im appalled they didn't add weezing
>>59578282According to the list it can only really be Emergency exit, stakeout or run away (the latter two are mabosstiff and thievul abilities but maybe they share it) EE seems most likely
>>59578124There’s no way this is it right
Turning 'Pod USA
>>59578284idk, even before it was clear nintendo got to them they were getting cunty. teases and stupid jokes for days
How is Garchomp?Did its special moveset get buffed?Did it regain Nasty Plot?
Did Kaphotics have a heart attack finally or did he seethe and stop datamining because he couldn't call out genners anymore
>>59578308Nintendo never got to them, Serebii did. He started paying them for exclusivity because he was mad that people could get all the info without looking at his site.
>>59578263Bro, we're just all going to use Gambit and Basc.No one is going to use these fucking shit mons because they have no role on any team if you want to win.
So how much longer will we have to wait until we can officially pronounce Golisopod's hopes and dreams dead since we can't tell who exactly gets what from here?
>Indeedee being added>Helping Hand megazam expanding Force here i cum
any new cosmetics? not a fan of these faggy shirts
>no weezing despite one of them belonging with the terrain setter them>no gastrodonthey really are deliberately avoiding anything that will hamper their precious megas and forced meta
>>59578310thought he retired like scrisem and the anubis person
>>59578313I'm still annoyed that Serebii pirated BW then TPC turned around and worked with him anyways.
>>59578274Literally the only Pikaclone that's even remotely usable outside of specific niche use cases.
>>59578317I hate the pants options personally, gib us jeans
>>59578316mega golisopod (might) save us, trust the first impression
>>59578316I remember reading about Armorogue being relevant if Indeedee is around too
>>59577759He gets Water Bubble. This is not a drill.
>>59578316Psyspam could be real.Mega Kazam could be real in MC.
>>59578320Anubis is an attention whore, if they were retiring they would've said so and probably nuked all their previous data.
>>59578318They've avoided adding Dondozo because they said it shitstomped new players too hard. I assume neutralizing gas is in the same boat.
I hope you're aware that MStaraptor is going to be x100 more annoying now.
Why isnt Heatran in the leaks
>>59578316>>59578329>bug is such an irrelevant type that first impression countering m-alakazam is forgotten
Game is updating on my Switch
>>59578326Anon...Read Psychic Terrain...
>>59578331https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/2023290187875319990
>>59578339Yeah bro, use that fucking priority move in psychic terrain.PLEASE.
>>59578332I don't see what's so much harder to understand about it than something like armor tail/queenly majesty or weird unannounced abilities like mega sol
>>59578339>first impression in psychic terrainlmaooooo
>>59578336Having two fighting types out during the return of psyspam seems like a bad idea.
>>59578310feel like a number of things made him retire>switch probably being the last time they'd be able to really get in there mining-wise>nintendo becoming INCREDIBLY aggressive toward hackers>"people" like centro, riddler etc pozzing the shit out of prereleases and stealing actual hacker valor
>>59578338Heatran is Reg-D.
>>59578348why do scrubs always chime in without thinking
>>59578315>So how much longer will we have to waitI think about 2 more hours
>>59578305Those are just of the new abilities added, couldn't it just get an old one?
>psyspam indeedee niggery just thoughtlessly tacked on to this already dogshit meta im out
God, this shit really is embarrassing. Do these devs really think this game is going to last for years at this pace? I'm bored. I'm fucking bored out of my mind. I'm sick of weather wars. I'm sick of KAAAANTOOOOO slop. I'm sick of not having all the fucking battle items in the game. It's genuinely retarded how they're doing this because Gen 10 got delayed.
>>59578344>>59578348>>59578351its okay. my bug doesnt fight alone :)
I fucking loathe psychic terrain bros it's overhave fun with ridiculous speed creep or more dark type spam because priority just isn't an answer anymore
>>59578336>hurting and trapping your own mega just for a defense boostnah
So the giraffe is getting booted for an even stronger pokemon? Guess powercreep does happen
>>59578327Armorouge will be great for a trick room mode and a way to take out rillaboom to win the terrain war, might run a shuca berry if rilla still gets high horsepower
>>59578336>not using it on your stored power mega malamar to counter the psyspam
>>59578120>Emma's fitSorry bros, sorry my principles, I might pay like a good piggy.
Grapploct gets Topsy-Turvy in ZA btw
>>59578375Honestly a better use. Malamar stocks a going up!
Already have my potential team ready for this season I just have to hope I have a shiny Indeedee
>>59578373Terrain isn't as reliable as Armor Tail, also I doubt female Indeedee will still have TR, it only had it in SV because of a raid mistake
>>59578382Yeah I'm fully expecting them to remove TR from it's moveset since it was never supposed to have it to begin with.
>>59578117>half the newly added Pokemon are early game shitmon
Is there a doc for added moves / move changes?
>>59578388https://x.com/TM02_pokemon/status/2097525469415354668
>>59578117>PinchurchinIf they bothered to give this thing some better moves it could easily be meta viable.
>squawkabillywat
Squawkabilly is gonna be OP. Trusf
>>59578385now if only they could leverage that to be an interesting event, like fighting only using starters and route 1 shitmons or something.Alas, its not meant to be because ILCA are fags
blue or yellow toxtricity?
Here's your saviour against psyspa- oh yeah mega gardevoir and hatterene exist
>>59578392It's only there for electric surge
>>59578382But outside of Rillaboom, how are you supposed to contest the terrain? There's Raichu X for Electric and that's it?
>>59578392Realistically it had everything it needed before. Water coverage to smack Grounds, reliable recovery in Recover, a way to capitalize off its own terrain with Rising Voltage, pivoting with Volt Switch.

MEGA ZYGARDE ABILITY LEAKEDMEGA BREAK: THE ABILITY OF AURA AND MEGA EVOLVED POKEMON ARE NEGATED
>>59578363Go back to playing smogon PU then retard
>>59578418....how do we mega the zygarde again?does it need to be below 50%?
>>59578412Megagross can finally be anti meta with megamence repelling zard
>>59578414Can wild Toxtricity in SV/ZA have one of the other natures?
Psy spam back on the menu? Better prepare the dark types.
>>59578426nigger they were already prepared on 50% of worlds teams
>>59578424It cannot.
>>5957842665% of teams already have gambit.Don't think they're concerned.
>>59578426>alakazam used protect>indeedee used Gravity>Alakazam used Focus Blast>it's extremely effective
>>59578426>absol z has 1 more speed than mega zam
>>59578417Didn't even notice that! Nice buff. What else traditionally gets this move besides Miltank? What else could get this move that hasn't before?
>>59578440Gardevoir
>>59578440if that thread a few weeks ago is to be believed, garchomp
>>59578440Miltank and Gogoat that's it.
man im new to vgc but can anyone explain why gamefreak is so intent on keeping all pokemon garbage? Like this update is like 5 good pokemon out of 30 new ones. Obviously not everything needs to be good just like a card game, but im just shocked on the lack of options. Like on you want a defensive pivot pokemon? Incineroar or fuck off. Like pool of options you have is so incredibly small, would it be bad for them to look at the bajillion pokemon they’ve created and spread the love? I was legit dumbfounded when i found out scrafty didnt get parting shot, or when alot of the new megas from ZA were just awful
>>59578448There are almost 300 options. You just want an EASY option because you're unwilling to learn the game itself. It's easier just to complain and pretend you're dying of thirst surrounded by an ocean of options.
>>59578440>What else traditionally gets this move besides Miltank?Nothing.>What else could get this move that hasn't before?Maybe Dubwool or Bouffalant
I'm glad Mega Baxcalibur isn't going to suck
>>59578448Champions seems to be the VGC retirement home where they attempt to abuse the player base until it's dead like a hated parent in a nursing home.
>>59578448Gamefreak aren’t the ones developing and maintaining the game. It’s ILCA aka the company behind the atrocious Diamond and Pearl remakes. As to why they’re going down this route with the drip-feeding of content, who knows.
>>59578453(You)
>>59578453ok nigger pilot thievul into a regional win then.
Who the fuck asked for this shitmon bird?
>>59578453to be fair to that guy when it comes to parting shot (the best slow pivot move) incineroar literally is the only bulky pokemon that gets it in champions
i will be using indeedee sneasler mence
>>59578438T1>Rillaboom replaces opponents mon next to Gambit>Alakazam used protect>Indeedee uses gravity>Gambit used protectNow what?
>>59578459ILCA also made Home and people lap that shit up
>>59578417Actually, it now shares a targeting type with Acupressure, the only other move to do so, which is "targets itself or your ally". Still a buff from just the usual "self" targeting it previously had, though.
New thread when
>>59578464you KNOW we running nasty plot psyseed unburden theivul
Good synergy with Rillaboom, immune to psyspam, and has a secondary typing to help resist Fairy coverage. Yeah Kingambit is about to have 80%+ usage in the next regional.
>>59578478Lucario sweeps it
>>59578469it gets intimidate so its good u see
how does it make sense they say they’re “closely following the metagame” and then add straight bullshit so the same teams since M-A keep dominating
>>59578482Lucario ain't shit.If your mega doesn't have a reliable spread move then it's ngmi.
gonna walk straight into master ball tomorrow
Salamence used Hyper Voice!
>>59578448The goal isnt to give you a game with alot of options. The goal is to make a specifically constructed meta gamd where players are intended to use specific things that are meant to be good. Why do you think zacian was broken then it got nerfed into the ground? Because it was intended to be broken but now its time is over, its no longer the mascot of the recent gen and they threw it aside. The legendary formats are the worst, it exposes the blatant favortism and you see the same legendary pokemon over and over. Theres nothing stopping ilca or gamefreak from revisting older mons that get no usage like mewtwo dialga etc
>>59578485They're lying to us and they think it's funny.
>>59578476Might as well wait until the maintenance is done. Its not like it'll fall off the board before then. The update was a complete nothing burger.
When does maintenance end?
>>59578491nigga get better items
