    As a man with Fabulous in his name, I feel very obligated to make a Fairy gym.

    I mean, I don't have the game yet, but when I do get it I'll make a Fairy gym.

    Accidentally hit run in the Battle Maison.

    Really wasn't paying attention and had already pressed yes by the time I figured out what I had done.

    My streak wasn't that long, but still annoying.

    Guess its a good thing Im not hung up on IVs. Lack of a friend with a Ditto Safari is already making it frustrating enough just trying to get one with the right nature from the Village

    Guys, just type Battle Maison. It's only two extra letters and we don't have to explain what it is every few pages
    No, never

    Battle Noun is an amazing term that works perfectly and can be explained in one sentence

    And after going through 30 torturously slow rounds only to lose to some asshole who instantly woke up from sleep and had their focus band proc 5 times in a row you don't really want to call that hellhole by the proper name

    Except there are THREE places in the game that fit Battle Noun

    And all it does is confuse new players more

    Pokemon doesn't really need more insular jargon

    Battle Noun is the simplest and least insular jargon ever

    And the Chateau and Institute are completely different and pointless respectively

    Half a team ahead of you there.

    If I can stop breeding for more Shiny Ralts.

    Oh, I think I managed to run into a super sized Pumpkaboo, but I'm not sure. I did catch it.

    I believe the larger-sized your pumpkaboo is the more attack/health it has at the cost of speed

    except that the smallest size also breaks this rule and is slower than regular with more attack/health, but is still weaker than large or huge pumpkaboo

    edit: actually riptor's right re: pumpkaboo and what I was talking about was true for gourgeist

    More hp less speed. When it evolves these numbers increase quite a bit and offer unique roles to all three

    Kinda wish the gym leaders would bring more than two Pokémon or that there was somewhere else to have proper rematches with them.

    Also I like hearing about priority brave bird talonflame

    Talonflame is one of my favorite new pokemon

    Talonflame and Pyroar

    now if only Pyroar was a bit more useful....

  • ArchArch Neat-o, mosquito! Registered User regular
    To triple post-

    I'm really into the idea of a stallbreaker/pivot Noivern.

    Infiltrator with Taunt, Tailwind, U-turn, and either draco meteor or boomburst

    Taunt and ruin stallers or tailwind and uturn out to set up a slow, bulky sweeper

  • StiltsStilts Registered User regular
    So, if I wanted a Talonflame that had its hidden ability, I would need to catch it in a friend safari, right?

    That's the only way hidden abilities show up for Gen 6 pokemon?

    Apparently you can get hidden abilities from hordes, but you can't find Fletching in hordes.

    "Can" or "should"? Loads of pokemon CAN use it, but it's usually useless. Aurorus and Mega Gardevoir are the only two I can think of that have a reason to use it. Not a GOOD reason, mind you, but it's better than putting it on Aerodactyl if you just wanna be all wawawawawawa.

    Sometimes I think Gamefreak is just trollin'

    Look at Noivern as compared to crobat

    Noivern Base stats
    Hp. 85, Atk. 70, Def. 80, Sp.A. 97, Sp.def. 80. Spd. 123.

    crobat´s base stats:
    Hp. 85, Atk. 90, Def. 80, Sp.A. 70, Sp.def. 80. Spd. 130.

    Same spread, but Crobat is faster because for some reason they gave noivern a nice little 97 in Special attack

    Woo dat 123 speed. I mean, Noivern is still wicked fast but its like

    Whyyyy

    Noivern has a blatantly superior typing to Crobat, and I think a better movepool as well.

    I mean, yeah, Hydreigon would be a lot better if he had 122 SpA and 101 speed instead of 125/98, but there's probably a damn good reason why he's specifically not in that speed tier.

    So for my Steel Gym, I think I'm going to go with:

    Mawile (probably Mega)
    Lucario
    Scizor
    Aegislash

    and then some combination of Metagross, Ferrothorn, and Exadrill.

    Really don't want to run Klefki because Prankster is dumb and no fun and I don't want to do that to you guys.

    Looking at its stats, Huge Size and Large Size seem alright for a physical wall

    But I mean weak to fire and flying are hard to overcome, I'd assume

    A max-size Gourgeist has 85 HP and 122 defense, which is pretty respectable, but its special defense kind of bad at 75 and its typing isn't the best. So it kind of depends on what you plan on switching into. The bigger question is what she's going to do once she's on the field, since her movepool isn't very exciting from what I've seen. Trevenant has way less defense, but has a lot more obvious tools for taking advantage of what moderate bulk it can scrape together what with the life-draining and the abilities that combo well with Rest.

    By comparison, Ferrothorn has 74/131/116 (with hazards and very strong physical attacks) and Cofagrigus has 58/145/105 (with Nasty Plot or Pain Split shenanigans). And then there's Aegislash, but that's a whole other story. Actually, now that I think of it, even Eviolite Doublade is effectively 58/225/75 with slightly more attack and generally better offensive and defensive coverage.

    Hmm, a lot of good moves are locked behind GenV move tutors huh?
    Guess team Fighting needs another re-think.

    Although I'm not sure if it's possible to make a fighting team that won't just get swept by priority Acrobatics from Talonflame, there is literally one Fighting type who isn't weak to Flying and its got pretty bad defenses.
