Do you guys think expert belt is competitively viable? It seems like it SHOULD be good on Pokémon with good coverage (and doesn't take your health like life orb)

Is that a sandcastle?

Spoiler

Yeah, was confirmed awhile ago. They're called Sandygast and Palossand.

Pretty meh update. Passimian is the better of the two monkeys, but I probably wouldn't have caught either of them anyway.

Lycanroc's midday form confirmed better than midnight

I had a feeling this was gonna happen. I'll just pray that the midnight form has an awesome signature move, or maybe a good hidden ability.

Extreme Evoboost is the only exciting thing, because it basically confirms that not all Z-moves are going to be just "hurr durr MASSIVE DAMAGE" attacks. It's good to see a little bit of variety. That animation is obnoxiously long, though. It's almost a full minute.

Verbatim · September 20, 2016, 09:20:19 AM

Oh, this also implicitly confirms that there will be no more eeveelutions for this gen, which I'm okay with.

Still an absurdly long animation. Notice how they're all frozen in stasis, because having eight separate eeveelutions moving at once would probably be too intense for the system? That really bugs me, but whatever.

Alright, so now that I have a few perfect IV pokemons, how do I do the whole EV training to get them to actually realize their perfect potential? I know I could find guides on this and whatnot, but it's much more fun to spark some discussion about it on here. I'm on ORAS now, but can easily transfer them to XY.

Don't super train. Not only is it tedious as fuck, but it takes significantly longer than traditional EV training.

Buy all the power items from the battle maison. Theses gives +5 EVs (iirc) for that particular stay when held, regardless of the Pokemon you defeat. Pokerus also doubles EV gains and both effects stack.

Horde training is by far the fastest method. There are hot spots all over the region for each particular stat. For example attack EVs are best gained through weepinbell hordes. Using sweet scent guarantees horde encounters.

So if you have the Sun monkey in a double battle with Shedinja and it dies, you can give it Wonder Guard?

It would seem so, yeah. That means only Psychic and Flying-types could harm it.

Fuck yes

These new abilities are great, going to have so much fun crafting a team

i hate that nintendo is trying to appeal to the gyaru audience in the new pokemon game

Big Boss · September 20, 2016, 01:48:24 PM

I made some pretty bad moves here (forgetting Eelektross had levitate) but clenched it in the end. WOO HAWLUCHA.

How to double battle over wifi
Step 1) use evee Z move
Step 2) Baton pass to mega khangaskhan
Step 3) fuck shit up
Step 4) have oranguru use instruct
Step 5) fuck shit up again

Repeat until you eventually win a battle against a kid using all legendaries

I feel bad for Lycanroc's night form. He has two borderline useless abilities, bad defensive typing, and his signature move doesn't even get STAB. Only a strong HA could possibly salvage him.

What's its signature move?
