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

[Iduno]

Sure, but I wont be using game chat since its pretty late over here atm.

Does anyone have a Prankster Sableye and/or Shadow Tag Ghastly I could have?

Ghastly doesn’t get shadow tag. In fact, Ghastly doesn’t even have a hidden ability. You only get Shadow Tag via Mega Gengar, otherwise it’s Levitate only for Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar.

I’m pretty high, I guess I misread the wiki. I thought it was regular Gengar’s hidden ability.

That Bayleef got you faded bruh? :lol:

I have a bunch of Relaxed Nature, 4 IV Arons if anyone wants them.

I’d take one, gladly

Just added you. Let me know if you have a preference for sex, ability, or nickname.

[Iduno]

Good games, liked the recyling of Hitmontops intimidate.

[po_pimpus]

GGs, @Iduno. That last battle was intense. I probably could’ve pulled it off if I hadn’t second-guessed myself… If I had clicked Sleep Powder I would have won regardless… lol…

[KaboXx]

Anyone wanna battle? need to test out my new team

Yeah, give me a few minutes and I’ll be on.

[KaboXx]

All right cool man.

I want freeze mechanics to change and to have ways to make a special ver of intimidate happen.

In what way do you want Freeze mechanics to change? I never used to be bothered by it since it was relatively rare (even with Boltbeam’s 3 gen popularity), but after getting 3 of my Pokemon frozen in succession and many close calls with my walls getting frozen, I really thing Freeze effects needs a revamping.

Oh and I’m with you with the special Intimidate, I actually mentioned that before gen 6 if you remember?

@Mood4Food Mega Charizard-X is actually neutral to Fairy due to the Fire typing. Save for Ground types, Dragon/Fire offense keeps much of X’s weaknesses at bay since very few things can switch in or stay in after it gets a Dragon/ Sword Dance.

I felt to keep in balance and direct mirror of burn freeze could cut your SpAtk down instead of just immobilze your pkmn. Not sure if i feel it should chip health down or just cut speed but at least give it the sp atk drop. Whether or not it needs to be JUST like burn i just feel status affliction isn’t balanced

[MARTIAN]

I’ll battle either of you guys if you’re still on in ten minutes.

Also, thanks Po for the early Christmas, lol. I’ve actually been wanting to train one of these. Good moveset too.

A male with Rock Head is fine.

Hm, maybe it could greatly lower SP.ATK and have a 1/3 chance of immobilization?

[KaboXx]

GG’s Po that first battle man, so close!!

[Raz0r]

I am buttcheeks at this game.

[po_pimpus]

GG’s Po that first battle man, so close!!

Agreed. Sorry I had to cheese you with Delphox, but I always run into Talonflame when I don’t have a counter ready, lol.

…and fuck Stealth Rock. *“Oh its balanced! You can use Rapid Spin, Defog, and Magic Bounce!” *Bullshit. It doesn’t help when the majority of Spinners lose to Tyranitar(who gives 0 shits about the two natural Magic Bounce users and Mega Absol is brittle as all hell) and Ferrothorn outright, and most Defog users are part Flying, meaning the sneaky pebbles strip off 25% health right off the bat…

Yes, I’m aware of the irony of my rant. However, being able to do that much damage to teams with one move with no drawbacks and placing all that pressure on teams that need to rely on the aforementioned moves/ability is annoying and tips the scales unfairly in the SR user’s favor.

Note I did not say broken, overpowered, or my favorite, overcentralizing, but it is stupid*

Merry Kuri-si-masu!

Hope you like those Egg Moves! It’s also in the Water 1 and Field Egg groups, so you can pass those moves and IVs to quite a few mons to aid in breeding.

I’m actually interested in what Po is handing out. The mystery is killing me! :3 Hook me up pls?

That’s what I was thinking. Something like 25% chance to immobilize and greatly lowers sp atk. 1 in 4 seems fair enough so one doesn’t get haxed.

Scald made me think of something like freezer burn which gives a chance to burn your target.

[KaboXx]

U handing out gifts? x_x It’s all good man it’s all fair and games ur delphox put me on the walls! Im pretty sure you would ve won hadnt it been for the stealth rocks >__>
