Taking Farfetch'd straight to Master Ball bros
What the FUCK they were thinking?
>>59578501Indeedee Sneasler Mega Salamence. Thats it
They are trying to kill this gameThey can't be so stupid as to believe their "new players" excuse
>it's almost all shitmons
>>59578510Chances any of these shitmons get terrrain setting abilitys? Thats the only reason I can think they imported them.
>>59578510no one remembers wiggly has competitive until its too late
>>59578501Damn
>>59578510Who asked for this forgettable shitmon bird?
>rock helmet>no ferrothorn gay
I only see 3, maybe 4 viable mons in what they released. Fucking nothing is going to change.You can disregard Lucario Z and Garchomp Z, they aren't the guys.
>>59578513Can’t risk adding anything that would overshadow CHARIZARD, please understand
will court change be good in the (((current meta)))?
>>59578515Mime could be getting misty surge
>>59578519>multicolour forms>doesnt even do anything different>not even changing hairdos like furfrouabsolute dogshit mon
>>59578501bro half these fuckers are useless, fucking swalot??
Sirfetchd is gonna win it all. Trust
>>59578525Nothing is going to save the meta from Zard when its partners are all god tier.
are they counting the different colors as different pokemon ? lmao
>>59578529It's the same principal as how they're making thousands of plants for under the ocean in Winds/Waves, it's to make the world feel bigger.
>>59578501I find it funny that they just wont add weezing because it makes most of the mega useless, like how they didnt add shedninja in SV
>>59578535please understand
So is this going to be a megamence kills everything format
Boy can't wait for them to bloat the pool by bringing in Unown
>>59578528>misty surge>fake out support>screens support>STEALTH ROCK>its 100 speed>shit HP but doesnt matter if its a suicide support leadimagine
>>59578542No.
>add < 10 relevant pokemon every 2 months ebin
How much longer until they add the new mons?
>>59578542fuck it, ill say yes
>>59578528Did misty surge even get added into the game?
>>59578535It counts as a single Pokemon.
>>59578542if we get a misty surge setter, no
>>59578545mime has 90 speed
>>59578552Well lets try to figure this out. What does the screen say when you try to launch the game?
Tatsugiri bros?????
>>59578528It's not, Misty Surge is not in the game.
>>59578542Pretty much
>>59578561Idk. I don't have Champions.
>>59578561You tell me I haven't launched the game in over a week.
>>59578561I can't read so I don't know...
>>59578555>https://pastebin.com/4ZxxTNGpAww fuck you are right.Grassy surge and psychic surge ARE added in, but not misty surge.No new mons get misty surge as an ability confirmed
You should never prioritize new members of anything at the expense of the core fans. VGC was growing organically and saw substantial jumps after 2020.You don't have trot out "think of the new players" as an excuse for ICLA not having the budget, competence, or team members great enough to do this right.
>>59578571>>59578572And nor have I. What a pickle.
>>59578576Floette is already busted, it probably didn't need another multiplier.I will say though, they could have hust temporarily removed misty surge from Weezing because the neutralizing gas would have been was more meta defining.
anyone notice theres. abunch of hacked shinies in Home since today with tons of ribbons? they cant be imported into Champions either
>>59578501>six months from release>still no Ursaluna despite being in the promotion content>No Ground-type Pokémon whatsoever.I guess all I get from this update are a few more items to play with. For three more months...
>>59578542*Laughs in Kingambit*
this game sucks so asssssss
>>59578577bean counters can't help themselves, everything is always maximum growth bigger newer audience all the time line go up fasternobody wants to make a product with a consistent dedicated audience anymore
Can Rillaboom remain a meta staple in a mega salamence meta? Mence hard-counters it completely.
Wait, so Meatran missed the bus. Does that we are getting M-D after this?
>>59578591>if I accidentally a word on purpose now, maybe I won't feel so stupid because I accidentally a word earlier
>>59578599nah this is the last season. Champions 2 comes out next Feb
>>59578589Yeah, basically it's just Rillaboom, Salamence, Indeedee, and maybe Baxcalibur.
>>59578585Misty surge doesn't multiply fairy damage
>>59578577VGC players will play anyway, so why pander to them
So is Bax keeping Ice Shard from its ZA moveset?
>>59578625As you have seen with any game that has grown and eventually died, it's very easy to alienate a community to the point there isn't one.
>add Bax but not mega Baxwhat's its ability
Let me guess: Mega tatsugiri hard counters charizard Y and that's why it isn't in the game YET
My favorite Tapu is Fini but Misty Surge always felt underwhelming. Weakening Dragon moves is so useless when Fairies already have immunity so it's more or less auto grounded Safeguard in most cases
>>59578501they didnt even add sushimon...
>>59578627It always had Ice Shard
>>59578525But they already added Dragonite ages ago
theyre giving each of those elvis birds a terrain ability
>>59578648They can't abuse the terrains anyway
>>59578643This just tells me its going to be broken beyond belief
I'll buy a home sub if they add good mons
>>59578595Rillaboom was on the world champion team during Rinya sun meta. It will always be a meta staple.
>>59578635Oh yeah I've seen it with the last few mainline games. They were so low effort that everyone quit.
why isn't Rillaboom grass-fightingexplainEXPLAIN
>>59578669because all gen 8 starters are 1 type
>>59578669it's a basic bitch design for basic bitch NPCs if anything it should be normal type
>Run Away>Enables the Pokémon to ignore any effects that would usually prevent it from switching out of battle and being replaced by another party PokémonCool I'll use this against ONE Pokémon in all of Champions
>>59578643>>59578654It just gets Commander again but because Dondozo is eating all 3 forms it gets a Victory Dance boost everytime it uses Order Up.
>just caught him in the middle of nowhere the other dayIt's time.
>>59578664VGC was growing even in 2026 with EUIC. So no, but I'm sure you can think back a little ways to when decisions made by a company to pander to a new audience of people whp aren't diehards ends up effectively killing the community.
>>59578678two
>>59578654They confirmed in an interview that Dondozo hasn't been added yet (despite appearing in multiple trailers) because in internal testing it was curbstomping new players. So it doesn't make sense to add Tatsugiri yet if Dondozo is being held back.
now what?
>>59578703we smokin crack!!!
>>59578693New players can learn for God's sake.
>>59578693Why don't they just... close combat it 3 times and now they're as bulky as the Dondozo?
>>59578712Yeah why doesn't he just win the game, is he stupid?
>>59578501u rike?
>>59578671except Cinderace........technically
You know why new players are getting rekt by Dozo? Because you're adding in Squawkabilly and so when those shit mons clog up the gacha pool it causes new players to either choose it or not get a fucking pokemon that's actually usable.
Emergency exit confirmed for golisopod
>>59578501Adding shitmons SHOUL be exciting but it's not. It's insane that this game does hardly any balance changes. No ability changes, no stat changes, no movepool changes except minor nerfs to meta mons. These things are just confirmed to be gacha filler forever.
>>59578750It got unseenfist
>>59578501>Arboliva>Same format as RillaboomOh we're gonna be seeing so much fucking grassy terrain.
>>59578750Yes Golisopod has always had emergency exitWe are talking about Mega Golisopod however
>>59578557Isn't the whole mence shtick to bonk stuff with Aerilate boosted moves + coverage?
>>59578754even if this weren't a meme it would be a nothingburger after the nerf
>>59578755Its to encourage further zard use
>>59578510Goddamnit Gamefreak. Put Flygon in before powercreep makes it literally unusable.
>>59578765>Put Flygon in before powercreep makes it literally unusable.Garchomp's already in the game
Zardtards FEAR the BlastoiseCHADS
>mega salamence in a "low power level" formatlmfao
LMAOOOOO
>>59578765Anon unless they give him something like prankster, it's literally never gonna be not over for flyGONE
>>59578790Centro’s such a fucking faggot
>>59578790Mega malamar chads... not like this...
>>59578790None of my favorite mons have Prankster so this doesn't affect
>>59578790chat does he know?
>>59578790______ __ _ SLOW ______
>>59578790Whimsikeks...now we are forced to run moonblast...how could this happen to us...
>>59578790They should buff status moves like thunder wave and will-o-wisp, but make prankster lower your accuracy by 10-15%
So the likes of tyranitar and panda are never gonna get will o wisp'd by the usual offender (sableye) and you'd have to rely on rotom wash
>>59578801did you ballpark/pick random percentages
This changes everything bros
>>59578790Rock Slide status
>>59578790>p-please engage with me i want to be internet famous so bad
>>59578808Netscape bros... how could this happen
>>59578798Centro is a slow nigger? No, that's not it hmm...
>>59578790jokes aside this nerf is still annoying as hell now that dark types are goddamn everywhere
>>59578815Oh nvm it is lol
>>59578815>>59578818Stop posting his face
>>59578790HOLY SHIT BROS.HAHAHA huge nerfs, whimsikeks eat your heart out.
>No GothitelleFigures>Wigglytuff>The Pearsians & Perrserker>ToxtricityBased>Farfetch'dWhat?>Sirfetch'dThat's better>Mr. MimeFair>Cinderace>InteleonExpected>SwalotWho asked for this?>Salamence>Golisopod>BaxcaliburThey weren't in the game already?>The restWhatever
>>59578815I don't trust Centro because he led me to believe my boi Raichu wasn't going to get any megas.
maintenance ending in 3 minutes, prepare your golisopods to be sent in
>>59578833sadly im wageslaving
prankster tailwind is lowkiruly the biggest reason champions meta sucks, only second to last respects fish
IT'S OUT IT HAS EELIVATE
It begins...
Inb4 it's Steely Spirit
>>59578842bring back Snatch you cowards
I dreamt that there was a ZA tournament at worlds and it looked really stupid
TOUGH CLAWS
>>59578862There was, they've had ZA side tournaments at every regional and shit. I don't think its streamed
HUGE POWERHOLY SHIT
TOUGH CLAWS DOUBTERS WHERE ARE YOU
WOW
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Does she have u-turn?
Golisobros, we won
>>59578872lewd......
>it got the best possible ideaoh shit nigga
Tough Claws. Leech Life is hitting like a motherfucker.
WE LIVE
Golisopod - Tough ClawsBaxcalibur - Thermal Exchange
>>59578886Mega Bax is still a rape machine regardless
>tough clawshow do you stop it without fire attacks?
Yes, yes, well done, Golisopod, HOWEVER it can't switch into an attack without immediately being forced out again, and there WILL be people who forget this if they don't lead with it
>>59578886>Thermal Exchange
Golisopod ||Tough Claws||Baxcalibur ||Thermal Exchange||
DOES INDEEDEE-F GET TRICK ROOM?
>>59578881nah that'd be water bubble, tough claws was the most likely best option though that wasn't a meme pick
>>59578901>not reading the thread>thinking discord spoilers work on a completely different siteYou have to kill yourself twice now
>>59578903It does.
that golisopod teams tourney sounds fun
So is Indeedee and the monkey really the only two non-mega additions of worth
>>59578919What
>>59578913it was a joke, but i was sort of planning to host something or other this weekend anyways, if i have time
>>59578900>Rapes Charifags What's the problem here?
>Tough Claws for Goli>Rillaboom and Mence didn’t lose any of their movesHappy for Goli but the latter has me very concerned. Still have shiny Alola Goliospods for any anons that want them.
Please check for Garhcomp it needs Nasty Plot back...
>>59578919Pawmot and maybe Persian-A
>>59578925I bred my own because the gen7 breeding is straight broken lol
Boomburst Salamence is real? wtf
>Haha remember Mabosstiff from the gen 9 story, you like Mabosstiff right?
>>59578510I honestly don't mind if they add few pokemons, I don't mind the meta taking time to settle. But at least if you're gonna add few pokemon, only add relevant ones. Adding shitmons with no niche only serve to fuck over people who don't own Home and other pokemon games, as they'll be less likely to get good pokemons from the ranch. It's pure gacha greed.Imagine you're a new player with few VP, you're missing lot of meta pokemons, you do a ranch roll and your choices are :>farfet'ch, mr mime, kanto persian, wigglytuff, watchog, squawkabilly, castform, stunfisk, gourgeist-medium, simisear I would quit the game desu.
>>59578919Pincurchin>B-but his stats are lebadYou should never listen to shitters this thing is an A-grade support Raichu Y is going to be more recurrent and cancerous than ever
Edit: Some balance patches have been implemented.Politoed can't learn Pound and Archaludon can't learn Mirror Coat or Metal Burst. Slash can now be used. Wish and Strength Sap have both had PP reduced from 12 to 8Oh so they only balance for singles players
>>59578925>rilla and mence don't lose any movesthis is confirmed? damnit man just when I thought they knew what they were doing with the incineroar nerfs
>>59578933>PincurchinlollmaoPeople far better and smarter than you have tried to make that turd work. It never has. It never will.Cope and seethere.
Mega scizor confirmed the new most useless mega
Someone just reported PAWMOT IS LIVE
>>59578872
>>59578938always has been
>>59578929pics or lying
>>59578937It literally has not ever had an opportunity to do so because:>Regieleki existed>Miraidon existed
post them
>>59578935>Wish and Strength Sap have both had PP reduced from 12 to 8HOLY FRICKIN BAAAASEEEED
>>59578935in what universe were any of those moves a problemfucking pound?
WHERE IS MY ROCK SLIDE NERF
I can't believe they let Female indeedee keep TR.
>>59578946They were all singles meme moves, except maybe strength sap for keeping your sina alive
>tough claw First ImpressionOh shit, how hard would that hit?
>>5957895210% against a zard lol
Toxtricity doesn't have Overdrive?
>>59578958We jettin
>>59578952You know who Mega Absol Z is? No? Exactly. These thing essentially raped her out of existence.
>>5957895824.2-28.2% against uninvested zard, and thats with a 4x resist
>Golisopodite is from premium battlepassHAHAHAHAHA PAY2WIN GARBAGE
>>59578967just use vp anonor wait, let me guess, you dont play this game
>New icons in the shopThat's the one new thing of cosmetics they add?
>indeedee-F doesn't get gravityFUCKI'M RUINED
hey there little guy how did you sneak into this roster
>>59578952enough to OHKO max bulk farigir-wait..god damnit
>>59578971Sorry, new cosmetics are battlepass only, prease understand.
>>59578979I TOLD you guys like 5 minutes ago
>>59578982What's more likely, Armor Tail being kept for M-Golisopod or Sap Sipper to deal with the monkey?
>>59578979Oh yeah he was in the files for a while, makes sense the new datamine didn't have it.
>>59578973I have a solution but you won't like it
>>59578986armor tail also deals with 2 of the monkey's most annoying moves
So whats the go to move set for mega bax?
And in the end this is still the best Mega Stone for Garchomp
So this is the only time to get the extra tight Essentia suit?
>Roll 50 times in a now>no Golisopodgame is poo
>training has filters for moves with "Slicing" or "Sound-Based" tags>but not for Priority or Contact???
>>59579004Did you use those water/bug tix as well?
>>59579002from the slow drip feed we are seeing, yes probbly.go get that plug suit, you slut
>>59578996What, skill swap or some shit?That means no hypnosis and no protecting for the turn
Some Golisopod calcs by anon. Thoughts?Imo could be worse but a little underwhelming with such shitty stabs. Water bubble or water stab ability would have been far better. 252+ Atk Tough Claws Golisopod-Mega First Impression vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Kingambit: 199-235 (49.2 - 58.1%) -- 62.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery252+ Atk Tough Claws Golisopod-Mega First Impression vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 72-84 (24.2 - 28.2%) -- 97.1% chance to 4HKO252+ Atk Tough Claws Golisopod-Mega First Impression vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Incineroar: 180-213 (45.6 - 54%) -- 46.9% chance to 2HKO252+ Atk Tough Claws Golisopod-Mega First Impression vs. 252 HP / 216+ Def Garchomp: 178-211 (42.3 - 50.2%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO
Used up my coupons and ice tickets and still no bax
Speaking of costumes, I don't think I have ever seen a Corbeau. Is he that unpopular or his fans are just shitters?
>>59578944found my 3ds on sunday so I transferred some shinies I got
>>59579010something with prankster gravity, so sableye or meowstic. protect + gravity turn one, switch in indeedee (instant psyterrain), now you can expanding force and follow me with indeedee next turn
>>59579004Anon if you want one deposit something in Home and ask for a Level 100 male.
>>59579013how does Razor Shell do into Zard?
>>59578542Slightly effect meta. Grass types (Rillaboom, Sinistcha) and Sneasler will hate him. Kingambit, Mega Froslass and maybe Milotic will love him.What ability did my boi Bax get?
>>59579018you gotta pay home for the bank transfer right?i still have yet to do my ash gren
>>59579025Keeps thermal
what was the code for 100 pulls again?
>>59579026I had the home subscription but I'm not sure you need it
>instead of a mediocre ability, Golio got 30% boostDamn, if only the same happened to Emboar...
When can mobile play?
>>59579037??? It's already up, son
>>59579002the ass is nowhere similar to ZA which is a shame>>59579037I was playing a minute ago so now?
>>59579034Could be worse they could have wasted a good ability on a mediocre as fuck pokemon
should have stayed water/bug tbdesu, would be cooler than just being mega scizor 1.5 extra thicc edition
I'm kinda bummed that Golisopod didn't get an ability that fits his theme of being a sissy bitch but I don't think Tough Claws will make it meta.
>actually tells you what to put outThey are sure handholding too much now
>>59579018>Poke Ball Pattern ViviHave one as well but I don't think I've seen another player with one yet. Was it only ever released as one of early XY's events or did it make its way to GO?
>>59579046remember when people were saying the game intentionally matches you against counter teams if you win too much and doubters were like "there's no way the game tracks your matchup into other teams"now here's evidence that the game has likely always had the ability to (crudely) do exactly that but just not showing it until now
>>59579046Wait the stadium looks different
>>59579021can i have one :3i sent a fidough
>>59579026>>59579033you do need home subscription to transfer from bank
>>59579054so you're saying I should sandbag against some easy matchups in poke/greatball tier so that I get them when I'm at 10 winstreak in masterball?
>>59579021>>59579056thanks so much
>>59579066I'd think they would be smart enough to keep your tracking separate between casual and comp but this is pokemon we're talking about so maybe
Sirfetch'ds signature move is 170BP now
>>59579056Done. Enjoy anon.
>>59578501>adding all terrains with all its respective setters but misty terrainwhy>goliosopod gets tough clawsgood, but being bug steel does it matter? Charizard is fucking everywhere>Run away has been buffed so now the pokemon can always switch outThis shoul've been included since the fucking begining why did we have to wait till champions for this?
I will bring Pincurchin results.
>>59578983they really fucked the pooch on this one.
what does the exclamation mark on team preview mean?
Any buffs? nerfs?
>>59579021I didn't see this until now, sent a Darumaka
>>59578944ZA gave me too many green lizards but I got that alpha female shiny Fennekin in the end
>>59579073they won't add weezing because megas are so reliant on their abilities and it goes against the whole gimmick of thesd regs being mega themed it's stupid I know
>toxtricity but no throat spray ripalso yall aren't ready for the wiggly menace
>>59579080they could've given terrain setting to someone else, god knows we need more variety in setters.
>>59578935WHY THE FUCK DO THEY ONLY BALANCE FOR SINGLES???? HELLO???????
>>59579088apparently singles has 5x the amount of players
>7 Rock Slide flinches in a row from an opponent's GalladeThere's bad luck and then whatever the fuck this was.
And yet mega meowstic is stuck with fucking copycat
>>59579088japfags love BSS singles for some reason
>>59578501Surely the lack of pokemons means they have taken their time to buff and nerf them accordingly right?Wigglytuff is no longer a shit mom right? Toxtricity got something to compensate his lost gigantamax for right? Pincurchin doesn't fucking suck shit right?
>>59579090its like a warzone over there. anyone who manages to reach champions in singles is a true master of the franchise imo. might stick to vgc where i can farm easy meta wins.
>>59579095Wigglytuff has competitive, a lot of health, and is ok in trick room spamming dazzling gleam once it gets the boost. It's mid.
>>59578935>WishBlame that stupid Umbreon for that then
>>59579103>It's ok when it gets X2 the attack power
Did Sirfetched get a buff to Meteor Assault? I think I saw it was 170bp and I could’ve sworn it was 150
Squawkabilly is basically Tailwind Incin you didn't hear this from me
>>59579052I got mine in XY
>Revival Blessing revives the Mega without it reverting Three Glalie explosions. (Is leppa in?)
Rillaboom and Indeedee lost nothing and actually got buffs.Rillaboom got Superpower back after losing it in SV.They also gave Indeedee Sing for some reason.
>>59579119lmao inshallah
>>59579107Yeah it's mid. Did I stutter?
Just destroyed my first battle in 2 turns with Sneasler Indeedee-M scarfThat's a Reg H classic right there, oldheads remember
>>59579122Because she has a beautiful hyper voice <3
>>59578501>swalotMY NIGGA
I call mega salamence and indeedee teams "croissant"
>>59579074Can you test it with Alolan Raichu?
>can see logs of previous turns>damage done/received is listed there as wellthis is good but there's no way I'll be able to read and select a move in time kek
For the trial picks, what do I keep here? I want to clear some space.
>>59579164is it saved after the battle?
>>59579166toss indeedee male, persian and intelleon.I think intelleon is kinda okay in singles, elsewise its safe dumps
>>59579166Someone correct me but I think Female Indeedee is straight up better in 90% of cases.Slowbro has very favorable matchup into Rillaboom and learns Expanding Force.The rest probably has some niche uses.
>>59579109Reminded that sirfetch'd should have won vs Cynthia's femchomp
>>59579175Its offensive vs. defensive.
>>59579167I doubt it
>>59579046After the news about 6v6, they believe that the ENTIRE fanbase are a bunch of drooling retards
>>59579159I can try, what's the worst that can happen
>>59579196You fall to 1200 elo
Pawmot wtf...
>>59579173>>59579175Thanks
Will Pawmot be any good in Champions? It always felt like a mon with decent tools but way too strong surroundings in SV.
>>59579207Only if no one knows what it does or isnt prepared
>>59579207without tera electric, I'm not sure
Been catching Indeedee's off with U-Turn Cinderace lol
We're getting a free femdee so i can trade away mine in home for something else
>>59579215name goes hard
>>59579215How did they know what i did after i found out it got the claws???
>>59579216where is info on this?I need to cook a new free team if possible, since now we are bone dry on gift pokemon for new frens
10M1NTRNR - code for 100 tix
>>59579207It never did much in SV but being able to revive a mega is kinda a buff.
>>59579091I bet the player name was a chink name. Chinks always cheat
They really fucked up not letting mega lucario z’s ability reduce all physical damage. Like holy shit earthquake and last respects are the #1 moves you need protection against
>>59579238oh and put this in the News section of next thread please
New megas suck
>team preview shows rillaboom as disadvantaged against whimsicottso this thing has to be reading the opponent's moves right? in this case seeing that tailwind is a flying type move because otherwise their relationship should be neutral
>>59579244that's true Golisopod sucks blood with his 150Atk Tough Claws boosted Leech Life
>>59579244All megas suck because it's a dogshit gimmick
>>59579242>earthquakegrassy terrain>last respectsswitch to indeedee
>>59579234Announcement on sep monthly challenge. So maybe a week from now
>>59579207Double Shock without tera feels like shit but it should still be pretty good
why are so many TR setters normal/psychic type?anti ghost racism baka
>>59579244Yep, will still be the Mega Mence show
Remember to post some meme logs
Double Shock is a punching move now?(Why is Iron Fist still 20% GF, make it at least 30% if the stupid item you made last gen scares you too much from a 50% buff. )
>>59579248He still doesnt hit hard enough to get through the intimidate spam
>>59579274Just have an anti-Intimidate pokemon as a teammate to deter that
>>59579275pod+gambit for samuraimaxxing
>>59579272Always was
>>59579272if you buff Iron Fist too much, Ledian will completely dominate the meta
>>59579275>>59579281We are all running wiggly and pod for perfect type synergy
>>59579281>golisopod, kingambit, samurott, decidueyecan we make it into a meme team?
>>59579281Gets nuked by zard
252+ Atk Tough Claws Golisopod-Mega Razor Shell vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 168-198 (109.8 - 129.4%) -- guaranteed OHKOthis is without sun
>>59579289throw in aegislash, comp can fit in a third steel typemaybe a ceruledgeshame that kabutops' not in, he'd maul zard
>>59579299>charizard used solar beam
>released M-Pod in the same meta with Absol-ZNow that's just mean-spirited
>>59579271
I didnt know deederz is hereI thought it was just the gorilla
>>59579307Are you that Belly-drum player? I know there is this guy who just loves Drum-naught
>>59579271>>59579307oh shit we've got logs?do they give you information if your prankster ability fails on a dark type etc?
>>59579308it would be terrible if it wasnt
OH NO NO NO NO
Wigglytuff didn't get to keep fake out from ZA :(
>>59579313no i was playing hard trick room naught before because i felt the belly drum comp was too frail. but now with hot monkey dick he can get a set up way easier
Who else is using the Deedee's rn? I'm using fem over male rn solely for Follow Me, no TR. The sheer utility of not having to worry about priority moves is fucking insane but I'm not sure if keeping my options open with a TW supporter is worth it or if I should go hard TR. Fucking around with this team right now and the matches are super fun.
>>59579360I'm at work but I plan on running Armarouge and Slowbro-Galar to cover weaknesses.Armarouge can one-shot things like Absol Z with Armor Cannon, so I plan on running Sash and Weak Armor to potentially sweep.Slowbro gets good coverage, resists everything Rillaboom can throw at it, even lives a Kowtow Cleave. Quick Draw/Claw for 40% chance to go first (since no priority allowed under psychic terrain)
Did ANY of the newly added shitmons get a single new viable move?
So how strong is Wigglytuff against Incineroar and Salamence?
>>59579382>45 def
>>59579380lmao
>>59579019that's... actually working well for me, strangely enoughI'm still experimenting with this though, it feels like I don't bring mamoswine to any matches unless salamence shows upfuck I forgot to get rid of skill swap on indeedee
>>59579380>same-chanthats cute
Pawmot has Revival Blessing, is it any good in doubles?
>>59579360Everyone knows about Sneasler but what about some other Unburden users? Liepard gets STAB Knock Off, Fake Out if Rillaboom wins the terrain war, and Unburden Encore would do wonders under Psychic Terrain. And people would never expect it.
Balance already popping up on high master ball. That’s shoma honami.
Let me fap, then I’ll play the new format
Is the gay duck good?
Are snipe shot and pyro ball still trashly animated in champons?
Is Mega Salamence good or fraud?
Any new box subscriptions????
>>59578501>>59574680>normal type shitmon with dark type alolan form>shitmon bird with multiple forms>Farfetch'dBro fucking called it
>>59579418Sceptile has it. Only noteworthy move it has to take advantage of it is Acrobatics. Jesus fuck for something meant to be a special attacker it’s special movepool is pathetic.
pawmot Mega Glalieincineroaris fun in 1v1
>pawmot is faster than garchompWtfffff
>>59579426Ok in singles but need sash. Mine is female btw
>>59579432 Don't look at Thievul, who also gets Unburden...
If I use eject button with a follow me or rage powder user, will the next attack after the user switches out target the user slot or the original slot?
>>59579418>Jolly 32Spe Liepard outspeeds Adamant 32Spe Sneasler by 1 pointokay I'm tooting my own horn here but this seems kinda good actually?
>>59579445Liepard doesn’t have the offensive power for that to matter it’s prankster or nothing pretty much
>>59579066That's what people do in Pokemon Go, which does the exact same thing.
>>59579450In GO it's pure ELO, it doesn't give you more Mimikyu/Lickylicky opponents if you keep losing to them.
>>59579066Oh and Important thing to note if you're sandbagging like this is a forfeit isnt tracked as a loss for the purposes of matchmaking, you have to actually play out the match.
new thread when
>>59579456doesnt need to be made until around page 10
I'm so disappointed with this update. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>59579447Yeah, I was thinking of it in terms of countering mirror matches, but its KO potential sucks, while Sneasler just does everything better with Throat Chop despite the 4x weakness.
What stats are WE running on sala?
>>59579463I'm genuinely shocked the ape and the mence didn't lose anything. Expected the former to lose at least one of either Fake Out, Knock Off and/or U-Turn and the latter to lose Hyper Voice.
>>59579463You don't like the four ( 4 ) squawkabilly forms bro? Hilarious that they added that shit over oricorio which might be used by someone here and there too
>>59579474Hustle Boomburst hits hard bro I swear
>>59579486>it doesn't actually get itLolLmao
>>59579428GOOD
>>59579473They didn't? What the fuck? >>59579474Literally why add shitmons like Swalot? What a waste.
>Rillaboom still dominating Doubles>Cinderace still good in Singles>Inteleon still....trashOof
>>59579503I get why theyd add shitmons, the thoguht process is "oh hey the game is only gonna get stronger from here onwards so we gotta add them while they might do something" but the fact that we had sv powerhouses like arch gambit sneas from day 1 + megas already makes this bitch a pseudo restricted format so it's really idiotic, the particular picks for the shitmons are enfuriating, squawkabilly over oricorio, thievul grapploct & sirrfetch'd? Like whatever gambit centered balance for 3 more months or I retire IG
>>59579508>no diddlersis psychic terrain... le bad?
>>59579453>In GO it's pure ELOCope that is easily disproven by leading with a pokemon with only one x4 weakness like swampert or scizor
guys i havent been able to beat a single mega golis team hory shiit
If most games are gonna be incelroar fake out parting shot in to a rillaboom fake out shit then im just gonna quit
>>59579534Do you guys not have Charizards?
>>59579544how is that a bad thing lol. welcome to balance
>>59579544champions is finally playable and you're complaining?
>>59579553Biblically accurate VGC
>>59579054you're a retard, the preview screen suggestions tell you absolutely nothing about what a good/matchup is. its completely useless
>>59579553gaming is healing (at the end of turn thanks to grassy terrain)
>>59579553[Heartwarming News]In a meta of mega Pokemon these VGC players still battle the old fashioned way
>air balloonFinally
>>59579054You’re retarded lol
>>59579513In singles kinda
>Incin and Salamence are everywhere with a splash of Mawile >Waifumon becomes invaluable againReminds me of the first few weeks of Champions.
>>59579054They don’t pair you into counter teams. The advice they show you on screen is AFTER you’ve paired into the match. Not everything is some sort of grand conspiracy
Does 149 speed + Scarf round up to 224 speed or round down? Or is 150 speed needed to beat these new Z Megas (223 max)?
Now that there's more support for terrains, can someone explain to me why Galarian Stunfisk exists? It still seems like garbage.
Weezing won’t be added cause it makes 90% of megas useless, including precious charizard and $70 floette. I hate it here
>>59579296What sets were people running on Zard last season anon?hint: 40-55 points split between def/hp
>>59579625Good. Fuck weezing. Obnoxious ass Pokémon
This game is run and maintained by like three dudes, right? There can't be more people working on this. Maybe there's a fourth guy hired to rig the fucking ZA outfits that they're porting over but that has to be it.
>>59579612you can check speed on calc
>>59579625I sure love playing with fat stat stick pokemon, yep!
Im still getting used to rilla and mence. How do i run them without getting raped by zard and friends?
>>59579046>rain Zard with Golisopod as secondaryThat's pretty sick.
>>59579612General rule of thumb is everything rounds down (except damage dealt i think)
>>59579622It's ability is mostly hurtful - Ground/Steel has a pretty good match-up against all terrains basically. It got Terrain Pulse but it's Sp. Atk is lower than even regular Stunfisk. I've been using it without terrains and it's a decent Counter and Foul Play user. Also an annoying Yawn user. But with Terrains it seems worse off. It can, however, switch into Rillaboom with ease, which is useful for my mono-Ground team, so I might give it a shot. The Gorilla can still hit it hard with U-Turn, though, so--It could really use something like Steel Roller but the ability ensures it actually loses STAB. It's laughable really. Probably would be better off with Limber.
post em day 1 bullshit teamsthey wont give me goliso i'm still coping and getting gaped by sneasler
>>59579647>Mega Golisopod exists so CHARIZAAARD can still have a bug/steel mega buddy with Psychic Terrain everywhere... thank you gamefreak...
>>59579665Just transfer in a Gol>I don't have oneTrade on Home on your phone lad
>>59579665Do what >>59579675 said. Put some trade fodder/trash on Home’s GTS, ask for a level 100 Golisopod and I’ll sort you out
>>59579675>>59579678nah I want my own >why does that matterit just does ok
>>59579685That's fine, hope you find one soon
>>59579685Fair enough. Hope it doesn’t take long.
>>59579685you could always buy the battle pass
>>59579685There was a Golisopod event in GO two weeks ago.
Won my first match with the random mons I added to the team. Regular Glimmora doesn't seem that bad.
>>59579674The meta was unlikely to change significantly, what was much more likely was the Zard teams would just absorb whatever mons were good.Complaining about Zard or running KO calcs on it is misunderstanding what you should be focused on in the first place, it's kind of retarded.
I know it's too early to definitively say but I feel like Mega Golisopod borderline pushes the meta further into Zardslop and Incineroar's hands because trying to take it out in a timely fashion without a Fire move while it sits there and bends your entire team over feels damn near impossible.
>>59579714just put mystical fire on your indeedeeslop
four move syndrome on goli is annoying
>>59579711>The meta was unlikely to change significantlySummoning megamenceCHADs i see
>>59579665Look at me and laugh.
>>59579726As I was say then, the meta wasn't going to chang significantly.
>>59579736What the fuck are you doing lmao retard
>Archaludon lost Mirror Coat and Metal Burst in the new reg because it was fucking BSS up hardHuh
>>59579736I would but you’re using 3 of my top 20 favourite Pokemon and my favourite of the Hisuian evolutions so I’m going to need to see the stats spreads anon.
>>59579736better put flamethrower on that Z if you dont want the golisoGODS to laugh at you
>>59579751K
Going to build a team around max attack wigglytuff normal gem self-destruct, wish me luck.
auto button to let the game select moves for me when
So how do I build a Mega Absol Z team?
I'm just using a team full of meta mons without any shame>Ycharizard, rillaboom, kingambit, sneedler, basculegion, MsalamenceMasterball here I come
support swalot with normal gem explosionponder on it
>>59579788Uh follow me support? Probably gets raped by spread moves by theres only so much you can do
>>59579790I'd use Incin over Sneasler and Sylveon over Mence.
>>59579787Apparently milk drink goes through protect like decorate, this could be really funny does anything besides Gogoat get it though?
>>59579665throwing mons i like at a wall and seeing what sticks
>>59579801Only Miltank who isn't in champions
>>59579801Gogoat should get a new evo... I like it...
>>59579806Damn. Still, Horn Leech+Milk Drink+Protect+Leech seed? That could be funny as hell. Can use water types to bait grassy glide from Rillaboom for sap sipper too.
>>59579801>gogoat can be male
>had to run zard y again because i kept getting raped even in pokeball>managed to clinch a win vs a damn indeedee and mega gardevoirI see the agenda is alive and well.
>>59579813Will Grass pelt be useful now?>Male GogoatEww
>>59579787>Snipe Shot: power 80-85We did it Gamefreak! We saved the shitmon.
Even with milk drink buff, I doubt Gogoat will be used a lot, here's why
>>59579823It is too late I have already captured Papa Milkies for my team
>normal gemhehe, hyper voice farigiraf
When are they removing Archaludon
do you see the vision
>>59579835When they finally remove Basculegion.
>>59579823Stats are fine, it just doesn't have good typing or abilities
>>59579665Buy the battle pass
>>59579835when they remove yzard
>>59579805Just hit MB by going back to GODlotic, but I’d recommend ditching Haze for Recover.
>>59579842>>59579854I find both of them far easier to deal with than the stupid bridge.>600 bst>good physical bulk>stamina (WHY DOES A BRIDGE HAVE STAMINA)>fantastic typing>electric rain solar beam>but 10 higher base damage than solar beam>and it raises his special attack on the first turn>and he's not even an electric type btwI am glad he had body press and vest taken away, but he is still evil.Also can someone tell me why a skyscraper evolves into a suspension brigde?
>>59578790Does centro really
did they purposefully try to make this experience as un fun as possible
>>59579955Yes.
New>>59579962>>59579962
>>59579955they specifically want to torture YOU, yes (YOU)
>>59579874Infrastructure related? I think its a cute progression but yeah when they add dynamax it'll be funny to see it not get a gigamax
>Pokeball type guaranteed ticketsIs this new? This is one of those things I was saying before it's crazy there weren't any items to influence the Pokeballs of your pulls.
Who became sinnoh champion after Cynthia was digested?
