But if no items are allowed, then he isn’t allowed his Mega Stone to Evolve from the start.
You still have the Mega Stone in your item slot after Mega Evolving.
There’s been a lot of misconception on that for some reason. In all the videos and status screens that have been posted, the Mega Stone is still there, so…
Anyway…if anyone wants me to write more guides for the CB thread, please ask and I’ll do my best to do so.
I still lol at everyone hyping MegaGengar. Oh i will now make sure to stop it. I have used a variety of pokemon to stop threats. Threats people never see coming. Remember that while dangerous as a mon is, like any mon, its weakness is once you know its 4 moves you’ll know how to handle it. Besides not everyone rwill run for example sub/fairy move/shadow ball/sludge bomb.
it’ll be banned, dont worry
it’s too fast to have an ability like shadow tag, it can basically 1-2HKO everything, and with a moveset like Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast, nothing will stop it
and besides, if chandelure was banned in DW OU, then this thing will be
• 3DS FCs, PO names, etc…
• The two(?) guides Saitsu already did
• Tier List/ Class List
• Nature List
• Breeding Guide (Egg moves, Natures, Abilities, etc)
Is Breeding going to be similar in X/Y? If so, I can probably get that guide done.
Would you be able do a small intro to competitive battling(strategies, mindset, tactics, etc)?
By who? Smogon? Niggas hete want to implement their rules? More important who are you?
I think Breeding is similar. Nursery is after the First Gym I believe.
well for one, i am the pokemon master
and second, i’m pretty sure none of us will want to deal with the bullshit that thing will produce, it’s going to be the fast thing banned to uber ever, shadow tag is a ridiculous ability that should never be given to something with the offensive power and speed of gengar
it’s going to be able to pick and choose what it wants to kill
did i mention that it also gets a fairy move?
Check it out everyone! We got Ash Ketchum up in here!
He said Master, not Scrub who can’t recognize Villains in Thinly Veiled Disguises.
This is a forum mostly dedicated to fighting games… We may be old, crotchety geezers who don’t play SF competitively anymore, but we thrive on taking on something everyone claims is broken and beating the shit out of it.
I guarantee you if MegaGengar is such a horrifying threat, peeps here will be far better equipped for it than the mindless drones over at Smogon who cry for bans on anything that forces them out of their comfort zone quicker than a post '09er begs for a patch to a modern fighter.
That baby mode shit of crying for bans and artificial metagames built on taking things OUT rather than manning up and finding solutions is why Smogon’s simulators are all full of scrubs now.
Garchomp, Blaziken, Excadrill, and whatever the fuck else you Smogon-worshipping morons can’t beat have never been the problem. The real problem is scrubs looking for the easy way out…
and damn it, I went on another rant… I was doing so well, too…
Oh no, good sir i know EXACTLY what I said. He IS ash Ketchum. With how he talks, trust me. Only one I know here that has proven to be beast is Travis/Ephidel/Eren. Nigga was the only guy to best me the most. I otherwise have winning record vs just about everyone here when i played years back. Even then i know im no master.
But this cat? He’s no Red that’s for sure.
I love these Smogon rants, wtf was so bad about Excadrill, of all pokemon??
Nothing was ever here…
What is it with Nintendo games and trying to make them what they’re not? Smash and Pokemon are chaotic messes. Want a good Smash? Playstation All-Stars OH WAIT it gets hated for being a “ripoff.” Want a good Pokemon? Play Sirlin’s Kongai OH WAIT it’s free and easily accessible and that means fuck that let’s feed Nintendo money.
So in other words, everyone here should just drop Pokemon and play Kongai instead?
Saitsu, I was gonna mention that thing with the starters but its horribly inaccurate, such as Chesnaught is missing Rollout and Mud Shot which it learns early on as Chespin, Delphox is missing Wish, Psybeam, and Howl and Greninja learns Extrasensory and Smack Down. I won’t even get into the abilities as only Greninja’s Protean has been confirmed and the other two abilities sound like fanboy wishing.
It was being circulated by 4chan*(the birthplace of Pokemon info hoaxes)* and none of the legit info sources have confirmed that stuff.
In other words take that Starter info with a huge grain of salt…
Alright, I’ll just delete it.
-blaziken was broken as shit, seriously, how the fuck did you stop that thing
-excadrill took too much effort to stop it from sweeping you, same deal for thunderus-I, you literally had to run 4 checks (as they had no counters) and hope you called the right move, they’re also ridiculously fast, only needed 2 moves to sweep, and had a +2 set up move that suited their stronger offense, they were broken as shit and needed to go
-garchomp had the hax factor with sand veil, while the abilities aren’t inherently broken, it caused a lot of “illegitimate” losses cause of randomly missing (especially when something naturally bulkier than swampert could only be hit 80% of the time twas pretty dumb), and look what happened when they took it off, everyone was a happy camper
-i don’t have a clue as to why tornadus-T was banned, same for Deoxys-D, and apparently for landorus-I, probably teh same reasons as for excadrill and thunderus-I (too hard to stop them)
-genesect was overcentralizing as shit, it got to the point where if you didn’t run genesect, you lost
i posted this on smashboards and i’ll do it here:
wobbuffet was Uber in gen III and IV because of shadow tag, take it away and it lies in the depths of NU
dugtrio is only OU because it has arena trap
gotithelle was NU before it’s dream world version with shadow tag was released
trapinch had a niche in gen III OU because of arena trap
chandelure would be OU, possibly even uber, if shadow tag was released on it
and now we’re taking a fast sweeper in OU, who has been OU since gen 1, and not only are we giving him shadow tag, but we’re making him faster and stronger, and you think this thing won’t be the destroyer of worlds, when the regular form of it is a borderline top 10 pokemon?
get out of here with that, i don’t any possible way that this thing could be balanced without lowering it’s speed to below 80 (and even then, that’s pushing it), it’s way too fast and strong to trap enemies and kill them at will, especially with the movepool he has, let’s take a gander at viable options:
Substitute
Disable
Pain Split
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Thunderbolt
Some Fairy Move
Hidden Power Fire/Ice
seriously, there’s no way this thing stays in OU for more than a month, the only thing that’s more broken than this is speed boost blaziken with baton pass
