Comp. Pokemon Thread MK2: Let's Go Back To Kanto Like Everyone Wanted!

Fucking look at it. It has two anger points sticking out of its head!

I think you are confusingy statement. What I saying is fairies are about to be on note teams now that nothing really checks them. Because of it I expect to see more scizors. Because of their presence I expect greninja to dip a little.

To sum it up Scizor will be the new go to steel.

Fairies will hurt Ash Greninja more as he will have more things that can deal with it.

Heatran, av Magnezone, magaerna, volcarona, zard y, scolipede, toxapex, gengar, nidoking, and nihilego all check fairies

Scizor actually is only okay at checking fairies. Lele OHKOs with hp fire, Koko 2hkos with tbolt, magaerna nabs it with HP fire, and Fini can taunt it and wear it down.

Scizor is a bad sweeper this gen. The SD set is pretty mediocre thanks to all the fatmons that resist his moves. Ash Greninja is the hardest hitting poke in OU, he is not going anywhere

Anybody in here playing or watching doubles seriously? If so what is being used right now?

Think I wanna make me an A lol an Ninetails VGC team.

So got back into the tier now that mega swampert is here. He’s a lot of fun to use and makes rain teams soooooo much scarier

I praise lord helix that mega metagross akd baton pass got met with the boots in smog’s ou cause the tier is so much better to play in. So many options to choose.

Tapu bulu is the best pokemon ever created. I did 50% to a protected Gliscor with a +2 z wood hammer. I love this mon. He doesnt care about resists

This is scrubby as fuck.

Who cares if it is. For some reason you think keeping options creates more variety which isnt the case. This is the most fun ive had in singles since gen iv ou. Atm, dugtrio is the only problematic thing i see and i dont really think it’s banworthy. Baton pass is in general a broken move and they had a disgusting complex ban for it so they banned it. Mega metagross held back so many defensive options that now bulkier but not passive teams are popping up now. Nothing feels crazy op. Everything feels manageable. Etc

Team building is incredibly open. Nothing feels restrictive besides maybe volcarona but there are enough options to use that it doesnt feel redundant. (Basically slap a choice scarf mon with 101 base speed and a rock move)

Is it scrubby? Probably. Who cares, it’s too much fun.

Pokémon direct tomorrow.

So I know this is a derpy question but back in the day there was that urban legend that rare candies fuck your stats. That’s just BS, right? If a pokemon is already EV trained, it doesn’t actually miss out on anything by being rare candied?

When you use a rare candy, you level up as if you dont have EVs. But once you level up regularly, the stats adjust. Also you can still EV train at level 100. It doesnt affect anything so dont worry about it.

This hasn’t been true since Gen 4. As long as you’re EV trained, you can use all the candy you want.

You can even EV train at 100, and get your full ev’d stats.

You just said im wrong but agreed with me…

You contradicted yourself in the first sentence. Whenever you level up, your evs are recalculated, as well as when you gain evs in other ways, such as vitamins or Isle Evelup.

Direct starts in 10 minutes.

Whoops, just postetd that in the Switch thread, my bad.

Playable Decidueye in Pokken?

Let’s fucking go!

Well, that was a letdown.

They reeeeeeeally don’t want to lose that 3DS money just yet.

Ok hella noobish question but how do I evolve Formantis? I was told it evolves at Lv24 but it’s Lv32 now and still hasn’t evolved.

Serebii.net is your best friend

Level 34 in the daytime
