Ginger_Warrior Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The point about there being no decent Rock moves outside of SR is especially pertinent re: pokes like Volcarona. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The fact that rock-types as a whole are pretty one-dimensional, and their weaknesses are pretty easy to exploit doesn't help. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoli Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 They just need to add a 100 base damage reliable Rock move, maybe even 90 or 95, and nerf SR to half of it's current damage. As it is, SR by itslef makes a wide array of 'mons completely unreliable, even if otehrwise they would have decent usage, like Vulcarona and Zapdos. And please, for the love of Arceus, make that move almost always exclusive to Rock Types. The problem with Rock and Ground types, other than having very bad weaknesses, is that their moves can be learnt from EVERYTHING. Everyone knows Stone Edge and Earthquake, and that makes it that unlesss you have a great subtype (Gastrodon, Garchomp, Swampert) or superd stats (Tyranitar, Garchomp) you stand no chance to the onslaught of water teams or frequent EQ carriers. Having move exclusivity of a Rock type EQ to Rock type mons could mean the world of difference for stuff like Ttar, Gigalith, Aggron and Rhyperior. And for [bleep]s sake, give Flareon Fire Blitz already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer205 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just getting back to the new typing: I've seen a lot of discussion on what pokemon will be retyped. I'm curious as to any moves that will be retyped/new fairy moves that will be introduced to non-fairy pokemon, even if they're not getting STAB, this could give some pokemon a boost when it comes to type coverage.

Giving it flare blitz isn't going to solve anything. Base 65 speed is horrible for a physical sweeper.

It can also easily come in on a special attacker and start dishing it out. It won't be anything OU or even UU worthy, but it would at least get some kind of usage.

Ezkaton Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Do you guys still exchange friend codes etc for DS/3DS and do battles etc? I sincerely wana try sorting my Wifi on my 3DS (I seem to be able to do anything and everything cept battle - where it drops out just as it's about to start) and giving a few friends some battles. Also any chance you guys "rate" teams? :P Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezon Dash Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I can rate teams. As far as battling online goes.... I just use simulators because you can guarantee that things like sleep clause won't be broken, people won't be using more than 510 IVs, and it is so much easier to make and edit new Pokemon and teams. Wi-fi battles are just so slow because of battle animations and loading times. I do like battling with my friends with just infrared every now and then though.

Alg Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That cotton candy thing is so amazing. I'm not even joking, that thing put a smile on my face and I'm all but guaranteed to burst out laughing whenever I find one ingame. If they keep this up, fairy will be my favorite type.

Demoli Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Pangoro is bloody amazing and he'll be my bro in X. The squids are Psychic Dark, they will have a vanilite chance in hell to be in OU, regardless of movepool and stats, Uturn will rip them apart. Honeedge is looking better by the day, provided he has decent stats and movepool, he should be Ou or UU at the very least, amazing typing and ability!

PoorLepRecon Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not quite sure why Absol and Mawile arn't just getting evolutions. Mawile's going to be a beast now. Steel/Fairy with Huge Power. It's just going to melt dragons. Lucario with adaptability is pretty damn strong too. 1 Forum Updates & Suggestions <------ Let your voice be heard!Forum Games <------- Coolest place on Tip.ItTip.It Forum Rules <------- Read them!

Ezkaton Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Don't quite get the need for MegaBlaziken... It's already massively strong, it's a starter (and notably the only starter so far to be listed amongst the Megas) AND Dream World gives it the speedboost ability which bumped it from OU to Ubers already...

PoorLepRecon Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 I don't get why MegaBlaziken gets speedboost though, it's already got that ability. Mega Kangaskhan was revealed today, it makes the baby get older and able to fight, and gets the ability Paternal Bond which lets it attack twice.

Kirschen Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Am I the only one finding it amusing Mega Mawile, a Pokemon with a typing combination that is very anti-dragon, somewhat resembles Iris? As for the other Mega evolutions, I am really glad Ampharos and Absol are getting some love, Kangaskhan is going to kick ridiculous amounts of ass, and Lucario being outright vicious. As for Mega Blaziken, I am not fond of that other Pokemon that actually need a Mega Evolution might get ignored and that its item is confirmed to be event-only. Also, I am going to make a bet that Korrina is a Fighting type gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
