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

Wouldn’t it be super effective so the damage would be increased?

i don’t even remember what i said about mega venu before release

That it wouldn’t be good since it needs Lefties + Leech Seed to be a solid tank, and Synthesis has too low PP to warrant using it.

Then a week or so after XY’s release you added that Talonflame would make it irrelevant.

You’ve said other stuff proven wrong, but I took specific note of Mega Venusaur since I was arguing with you over its potential in the metagame.

Ive made mistakes, big deal. I didnt even think the mega zards would be that good cause of sr and clearly im wrong. No one expected mega pinsir to be that good or mega kanga to be borked as fuck. I was wrong but whatever

I recall saying Azumarill was gonna be a problem, and that Heatran was gonna be used a lot more(as if it wasn’t already ubiquitous)…

I also called all this butthurt over Mega Evolution and THAT PLACE’s reaction to them…

You’re all missing the most important part.

Pikachu Libre knows Flying Press.

PIKACHU LIBRE KNOWS FLYING PRESS!!!

MUCHA LUCHAAAAAA!!!

What’s a Raichu?

Wooooooooow!!! I’m so fucking pumped!!

That megaltaria typing is so lovely. Yeah, it’s weak to ice, steel, fairy, and poison.

But it resists, fire, water, grass, lightning, dark, fighting, and bug. It resists ALL attack switches! What can’t this baby wall with cotton guard? Hell! I might actually run safeguard if it’s speed is good enough just to fuck over the inevitable statuses.

Wait… Does it grassy terrain? That would so sweet to half earthquake damage too. crosses fingers for move tutor

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Is it just me or does Megamence looks like Starscream?

Wow what a prophet… lol just playing.

Ya mood isn’t too good about predicting I was super hype on the zard typing when he said it wasn’t that good lol. I ALSO said Aegis was the best pokemon and all of you laughed at me on here so fuck you.

I have no problem with theorymonning, we all do it, but your e-tone makes you sound like you’re preaching gospel; especially since it usually occurs right after someone shows interest in a Pokemon you think isn’t stellar. (Like in my case.)

It’s also why I’m not disregarding Mega Lopunny just yet, the new metagame might really need it.

But I digress, I hope these costumed Pikas get their stats altered, otherwise Flying Press Luchapika and Icicle Crash Pika will pretty much a useless novelty with their whopping base 55 attack.

If they don’t require a hold item to be in those different “forms” then you still have Light Ball at least.

From the looks of it, you just change their form in Contests so I assume you get to keep Light Ball.

I remember the 3 pages of discussion on smogon when HGSS was coming, ppl where theorymoning about Super Fang’s distribution. They were predicting a rise in the Rotom’s forms (ghost at that time) to counter such “powerful move” and consequently, a rise in scarf TTar to counter them. All because Super Fang seemed “broken” (before release). Tell me how many times you have seen Super Fang used since Gen 4. Yeah. Probably 4.

@locoghoul Super Fang’s distribution is on the wrong dudes imo, Crobat can use that move quite effectively(nail a switch-in with Super Fang and then U-Turn out).

It is a good move, but only one pokemon can really use it effectively.

Noibat is a good user of Super Fang user, primarily a special attacker but can super fang a predicted a wall switch in. But scarfed is much easier to use and a good switcheroo can mess up so many things.

Fuck y’all. Super Fang Houndoom all day.

And Mega Sally looks like the Rebel Alliance emblem, just with a tail.

Your guys problem with your perceived “e-tone” has led to as many arguments as the Smogon topics. As well as some un-warranted hostility in the past. Honestly that is a personal problem the last thing any of these threads need is an argument over someones perceived tone.

I can’t wait to see megaltaria’s stats.

Dragon dance
Roost
Cotton guard
Double edge/Body slam/return/facade

With its typing, you can throw almosy any steel on its team to cover its weaknesses.

Safeguard/heal bell
Tailwind
Roost
Hyper voice

I’m so in. I can’t wait. I will find a way to tag this with choice scarf gardevoir and furfrou to have a team of beautiful mon.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

I’m almost positive mega Lopunny’s attack will be at least 150.

That would be almost all of Lopunny’s Stat raise though. 150 would be ridiculous considering Normal/Fighting is perfect Neutral Coverage AND she’s receiving High Jump Kick.

I’ll say she’ll hit 120 Atk max.

And just use DragMag with Altaria and Magnezone.

im actually hyped about Mega Shiftry
