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

What’s up with these godlike support options that Serperior has now? And why does this dude have 113 base speed?

Too bad its grass and its bulk sucks. But it has a new niche with this contrary ability.

No reason to run it over Mega Sceptile. Could be a UU monster though.

One reason. It’s not a Mega.

Sigh

If any of you actually have reqs for this please vote NO. This is dumb. Ban Mega Mence? Yeah ok, Greninja? Gtfoh.

That was Jolteons reason as well lol. It hasn’t held up wasting a mega slot doesn’t seem to matter. No reason to use it on support or tank mons. So it usually goes to the wall breaker or sweeper no need to have more than one. Also it’s coverage is bad mono grass stab is not good.

Yeah well then it turned out neither Jolteon or Meganetric was worth the spot.

And what do you mean no reason to use it. Last I checked, MegaBro and MegaEye still strike fear in the hearts of players.

LOL there is no reason to use any Electric outside of Scrubdurus, GODDAMN WASHING MACHINE, or Magnezone*(for specific team setups)*… AV Raikou gets an honorable mention, but that’s really it.

You forgot one…

Looks like Po has finally abandoned Scrubirisu.

raikou and mega manectric are amazing…wth are you guys talking about

raikou is really freaking good right now

I was referring to the shitty singles 6v6 metagame your Smogon friends masturbate to and have to ban half the currently known Pokémon from for it to be playable.

Everyone knows that DA GAWD BAWDY ALLAH PACHIRISU never leaves its Divine Domain of 2v2 to mingle with the pagan filth that is Singles 6v6…

how can i get drain punch in X?

Trade me a golurk from your x/y and I’ll tutor drain punch in my omega ruby and send it right back. Just let me know when you need it.

Got bitched out for using a legendary in a battle with a friend

It’s a sashed Articuno running Defog/Roar/U-Turn/Ice Beam and he doesn’t understand me when I tell him it’s a piece of trash novelty support/lead I use purely because I like the pokemon, and he insists I’m unfair.

I guess all the legendaries are just by default OP to normal people or something

Yeah but you can’t use ORAS tutor moves in X/Y Wifi battles so…that’s kind of pointless.

i don’t even think you can trade back from oras to xy

Use the BANK its there for a reason.

I can’t wait to get my hands on a Contrary Serperior finally. Hope I get lucky with a Japanese trader.

I never thought of the fact that Sticky Web will raise its speed cause of Contrary. And then there’s also the plethora of support moves to play around with when the Leaf Storm sweeping will have to wait.

Put it on a team with Slowbro or Washing Machine… yeah I’m totally using this for OU teams instead of Sceptile.

I traded over countless Pokemon to and from my y and omega ruby no problem, I just never checked the golurk thing though.

I tested the tutor move dilemma by breeding a kangaskhan, trading it over to OR, teaching it drain punch, sending it back to Y and having a 1v1 battle and have kanga do nothing by spam drain punch against my cradily.

It worked fine.
