Pokémon Games Discussion Thread (Gotta Discuss 'Em All!)

[Obelisk]

Well, I've got the natures I wanted. I'm ready to go when you are, @RESHIRAM5 but I'll need to figure out how to get to you.

 

[Com Fox]

1. We need our FC, mine is 1203 - 9350 - 6669

2. Once we got our FC, we head to the Festival Plaza and connect to the internet.

3. We go to Link Battle and look through the list, if friends are online they automatically show.

Mine is 5000 6511 1759. Adding you right now.

Got you, heading to the game now, my username is Gao

 

[Obelisk]

It came up as X in the friends list. Let's do Singles!

Edit: You've got to be freaking kidding me. Solagelo, Stealth Rock, two different forms of priority and constant switching. The Psychic on your Arcanine was a failed switch prediction.

 

[Com Fox]

I feel like if Water Shruiken hit 5 times, the battle would've gone the other way. I was panicking when it hit 4 times

GG, I think I lucked out mostly, funny how we didn't use our Z-Powers in the match .

It was luck...I was gonna have my Primarina out first and have it Z-move your lead.

Edit: But that said, I'm basically fuming because I forgot Stealth Rock was a thing. It put me under way too much pressure, since I have...two or three that are weak to that.

It was, though Fenrir was still holding a Focus Sash from the Battle Tree, so using Water Shruiken was probably the best option.

Though Aqua Jet did come in handy afterall

Also, did you mis-click Psychic, my Arcanine was ready to be destroyed by a Water move but then suddenly Psychic?

I was predicting a switch to your Primarina for some reason.

Snorlax using Giga Impact was a misclick though. I was trying to pick Crunch.

 

[Com Fox]

I guess that makes sense, since you didn't know my Arcanine had Wild Charge.

I was expecting Wild Charge to do massive damage, your Primarina to kill my Arcanine and then use my Primarinas Aqua Jet to finish.

Suppose so. Once I get my comp team from Gen 6 over, be ready for serious pain in that battle.

We'll have to rematch with the story teams again and hope RNG plays out differently.

 

[Com Fox]

You underestimate my Power from Gen 6 .

How about a physical Zoroark that wiped out an entire Legendary team?

How about a physical Zoroark that wiped out an entire Legendary team?

Mega Salamence that punishes Toxic/Burn Stallers with Facade.

Scolipede that hands off stats even Evasion. Which allowed me to take down an entire legendary team including Mega Ray and Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.

Always Critical Kingdra.

Evasion stalling Umbreon.

Would say Klefki but Klefki's getting nerfed.

More await you all

Evasion is banned under Smogon's formats. Just pointing that out.

Edit: Physical Zoroark with U-Turning ability, near perfect Jolteon for leading and revenge killing, Guts Conkeldurr that hits like a truck, QD Volcarona, Gengar-M, Adaptability Porygon-Z. Also have a Weavile and the VGC mons in the works.

Think you forgot about me saying that I'm not a fan of the VGC and Smogon formats earlier and that I do casual battles which is usually against Legendary Spammers.

My Zoroark's Aerial Ace does not care for evasion either.

But seriously, the Legendary noobs have gotten even more pathetic. The ones I foresee as problematic are the Zygarde 100% people.

Edit: Just triggered the Xurkitree thing. Looked it up and bwhoah-whoa-whoa!

It's got some wicked stats. 173 Special Attack. That means 489 Sp. Atk at lv.100.

That makes it interesting.

Zygarde 100% isn't as problematic as you might think, the only stat that gets really boosted is HP with hardly any changes to the other stats.

Well, that HP boost translates to 216 base HP plus free recovery based on remaining HP. It becomes an absolute tank with that much HP. Think Blissey and Shuckle fused together.

It really doesn't seem like that much of deal, especially since Ice type moves will make it cry into a corner. It doesn't really have massive ATK to knock things out of the park constantly.

I think Legendary spammers will still be on team Mega Rayquaza.

EDIT: Back on here:

I really do think Stealth Rock is massively broken, you only need 1 turn to set it up and it lasts forever with the only way around it is to use a move (Rapid Spin) that's not only useless in every other situation but also not much Pokemon know it.

IMO, Stealth Rock should've gotten a turn limit on how long it can stay on the field to balance it out.

Thought about using my master ball on Lunala... decided to throw a quick ball first. Got it.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Also, I think we're forgetting that my favourite Pokemon (Eelektross) has no weakness thanks to Levitate .

Wished it wasn't slow though .

I kinda played on the slow side by having mine with Brave nature and max SpA and a Drain Punch/Giga Drain combo. Switched between T-Bolt/Crunch and Wild Charge/F-Thrower.

 

[Lain]

I've done the Elite Four a few times, and I still struggle with the Flying types Mandibuzz, it's so annoyingly tanky with Roost and Toxic, I don't know how to beat it easily without Kommo-o Dragon Dance to assist.

Though a friend of mine struggled massively with the Fighting type Elite Four, he couldn't get past Bewear for awhile (told me that he took 100 tries to beat it).

Taking on the elite four now... Are we fighting the same Mandibuzz? Because the Mandibuzz I'm fighting just maxed out my Lunala's special attack with Flatter

 

[Com Fox]

My awful experiences are the rematchs with a different moveset.

I used to be a Pokémon once... then I took an arrow to the cool knee

 

[Brend]

Pokemon Sun and Moon are the biggest launching Pokemon/Nintendo games ever in the UK and have sold 10 million worldwide so far.

Mental.

 

[Com Fox]

Finally caught a Mareanie, the process to catch it was the most annoying experience I had trying to catch it.

How do so many NPCs have them or Toxapex ?

I just traded for it. Literally gave up nothing of value.

 

[Com Fox]

At least, IMO, it was worth it to see Mareanir beat up Corsola's during the S.O.S
