Pokemon General Discussion Thread - It's Lit(ten)!

I don’t care about celebii but I’m glad PokeBank is finally a thing.

I care about Celebi. Team support for DAYS!

Oh my god Focus Punch + Quick Guard + Wide Guard = Dead Pokemon in 1st turn guaranteed.

Everyone in Rank Battles is overthinking it, I AM PUTING ELECTIVIRE IN THE MIDDLE TOO FOR EVERYONE TO HIT AND THEY JUST MINDFUCK THEMSELVES TO LEAVE HIM ALONE

Day 6
Nearly 700 Houndours and still no sign of a shiny. Running low on morale, and food. Not sure how much longer I can go

Finally getting internet back tomorrow. As of now i have 2 four perfect iv magic guard abras timids. Shall start breeding tonight hopefully i get a 5 here soon…

I already have Celebi… Plural. :coffee:

Damn, I have found the most nasty Greninja x Tentacruel setup ever.

Someone needs to help me test this later…the simulations have been promising.

Not that people should follow Smogon rules (because seriously Smogon is a POS), but they banned MegaKhan to ubers.

Shocking.

That’s something I’m actually not upset about.

I don’t know if he warranted a ban, but that motherfucker can do some stupid shit.

Sometimes I wonder if Kangaskhan was just an experiment by GameFreak to show Smogon how easy it is for them to fuck up everything about their metagame.

But then I just remember that GF gives 0 fucks about singles 6 v 6 and probably gave no thought to what Kanga could do in singles.

Is there a reason people use Dusclops over Dusknoir?

The chances of a shiny appearing is 1 in 8192 so statistically speaking you’ve barely scratched the surface.

Good luck.

Does shiny Houndoom even look radically different from it’s regular form? It’s basically blue right?

Thanks to the whole Shiny Value fiasco I’ve seen so many shinies that I’m desensitized to most, except for the actually cool looking ones like Shiny Mega Gardevoir.

Considering all of Kanga’s AOE moves don’t hit twice in Doubles…it’s pretty much a confirmation that they only actually care about Doubles.

Eviolite.

Eviolite

Edit: Whoops, Saitsu’s post wasn’t there when I posted.

That changed, actually… The odds are about 1/2192. Masuda Method makes it 1/1024.

Or something… That’s what I’ve been hearing.

Kanga got Yugi’d to the Shadow Realm, huh? *Cue Mood4food dancing a jig

Meanwhile, Genesect is still trolling its ass off… Hypocrisy, thy name is Smogon…

I’d only run Dusknoir over Dusclops for that 100 Base Attack… which it can boost through Power-Up Punch… Hmm… Imprison shenanigans would be hilarious to try on the Kangaroo’s standard set, but oops, those lames banned it on the simulator, lol.

Dat sad HP stat, doe…

I do think Fat Ghost is cool, but I like Dusclops’ design better.

I was fairly certain that GameFreaks, like Nintendo, don’t give a shit about people playing their games as high level competitions.

Actually, GameFreak has always been supportive of Pokemon competition, just not of the sort that Smogon promotes… Which is why 3on3 Singles and now Doubles have been the formats of choice for the official competitions, and the only reason I could see for Stealth Rock still existing in its current form, lol.

They do listen and cater to the wishes of the fanbase ever so slightly-- Hence the nerfs to Steel and Dragon in the form of reduced resistances and the Fairy type respectively, and the massive nerfs Sleep status took; i.e. 1-3 turn Sleep, Grass immunity to Spore, Overcoat buff, Safety Goggles, more Sap Sippers, etc.

If only Safety Goggles protected you from field hazards as well, that would’ve been sex.

Charizards and Volcaronas would be flying in style!

It wouldn’t be sex; it’d be OP as fuck. :confused:
