HOLY [cabbage]!!!

 

Base 140 attack and 95 speed? Are they crazy?

 

I know right? And it IS confirmed it gets Dragon Dance, making it Uber-er than Chomp?

 

BST's are not that high, but the stats are very well distributed. The starters really suck though.

 

Wargle also has a 123 Att stat. And many many others.

 

I love GF (and hate them for the Starters)

Nerdgasm. That is all.

Excited about this gen finally. Now torn between Smugleaf's evo and a FREAKING SAMURAI OTTER!@

 

If you're looking for stats, that ice/dragon's got 130s in both attacks and 95 speed. Yikes.

Or that rock/bird.

With any luck, they'll give that thing a crappy moveset like Flareon's.

There's also the Kibago one that looks like 'Chomp on Steroids. 147 attack, 97 speed, and no 4x weakness.

Yeah, 120+ stats are being given away like candies. Kibago evo also learns dragon dance and dragon tail, and most likely dragon claw.

 

so yeah, loads of psuedos are going to ubers if the rest doesnt keep up. (which honestly, they seem they will)

There seems to be no real defense in the generation at all. It depends on reliable recovery moves of course, but the only real amazing wall I see from this generation will be Nattorei (#598). Base 89 HP, 94 Atk, 131 Def, 116 Sp Def. It has good stats in all of the right places, so hopefully GF didn't screw us too badly (the dark/fighting type seems to be defensive with amazing offensive STAB typing >.<).

 

Desukan (#563) looks decent as well for a defensive Poke as long as it has access to recovery. There seems to be a real absence of decent special attackers, which proves just how attack-based this metagame will be. The only ones that jump out at me are Zoroark, Agirudaa (#617) and Shanderaa (#609). I also didn't take a look at anything that was legendary as legendaries are based more around move pool, and their tiers will be based around that. Also glad that it looks like Zeburaika is going to be a different Infernape. Is going to have a U-turn like electric move, 116 base speed, 100 base attack. Not too shabby, although the electric squirrel let me down.

 

Going to be a very offensive metagame unless they nerfed something else I'm not aware of.

Didn't a new pokemon game just come out like a couple of months ago. They really are milking this one then if they can release games with a few months interval...

Ooh well, nothing will ever be better than the first 151. :unsure:

140's are given out like candies, and with good typing and maybe good movepool and abilities, the Metagame will take a loooooong while to shape itself.

New abilities look interesting. Politoed with Drizzle and Ninetales with Drought. BLAZIKEN WITH SPEED BOOST. TECHNICIAN BRELOOM. Shadow tag on that 145 sp.A monster.

New abilities link

 

If this is real, OU just got a lot mroe interesting (even more).

 

Speed booster Blaziken outclasses Infernape and Tecnician Mach Punch from breloom will hurt.

 

Also OMGWTFBBQ DRIZZLE IN OU SHELTER YOURSELVES, KINGDRA JUST GOT MAD AT YOU ALL FOR IGNORING IT.

I use Kingdra all the time. Does that mean it will spare my life?

No love for Kabutops? :cry:

Rain Dance teams are getting a GIANT boost. Tons of mons getting hydration as well.

Ninetales also gets Draught. Welcome back to OU Exeggutor.

 

Seriously, this Gen will mess up the metagame so much more than gen IV

I'm less pessimistic about it. This looks like it will be an awesome gen.

Kabutops is Scizor-bait and can't do much. Plus, Kingdra has better defense and STAB-coverage.

I think that Dark/Dragon is a possible ubers candidate. It can freely spam Draco Meteor without stat drops ._.

What are its stats? Aggron can spam a 150 base power + STAB attack with no side-effects and similar accuracy, yet it's still UU.

92/105/90/125/90/98.

 

Add on a lack of a 4x ice weakness or Stealth Rock weakness, and the fact it looks ridiculously powerful....

 

It also has Levitate as another ability to use. Seriously, it's Latias minus some speed and with all the power behind Draco Meteors, minus a huge Pursuit weakness. We're talking about the goddamn DRAGON typing, which is as good as Psychic was back in Gen 1.

I'd expect the same of the Kibago evo. Mold Breaker, 147 Attack and 97 Speed. I don't really need to say much more, do I?

I looked at all the current new dream world abilities picked out the ones that look epic.

 

Heres some of the competive game details that really change the gameplay of certain Pokemon.

 

 

The Torchic Tree's Dream World Ability is Speed Boost: Speed Boost: Boosts this Pokemon's speed by 1 stage each turn.

 

 

The Treecko Tree's Dream World Ability is Unburden: Speed is doubled for this Pokemon when an item is consumed.

 

 

Lapras's Dream World Ability is Hydration: Heals All Status Problems in Rain for this Pokemon.

 

 

The Charmander Tree's Dream World Ability is Solar Power: In Sunlight this Pokemon does 1.5 more damage from special attacks but Hp decreases each turn.

 

 

The Vulpix Tree's Dream World Ability is Drought: Sunlight comes when this Pokemon is sent out.

 

 

The Abra Tree's Dream World Ability is Magic Guard: This Pokemon only takes damage from attacks.

 

 

Politoad's Dream World Ability is Drizzle: Rain comes when this Pokemon is sent out.

 

 

The Gible Tree's Dream World Ability is Rough Skin: When a Enemie Pokemon attacks with a Physical Attack they are hurt.

I'm with ALG in this, Kibago's evo will definatly be Uber before the hydra, don't know about about Mothra though, even the chandelier could be well used in Ubers.

 

Edit: At least from level ups, The Dark Dragon does not get boosting moves. Whichi means it will be stuck in OU, probably being a specs user.

 

Now kibago, Kibago has not only Dragon Dance at early 30's, but it also learns swords dance as Ononokuruso in early 50's. A single swords dance from this thing with completely overkill anything that isn't a steel type.

 

Mothra also gets Heat Wave and Bug Buzz, specs will obliterate in this thing.

I am aware this is a double post, but this deserves it's own post.

 

MASSIVE SPOILERS
