last post of the gen?
lugia ur to b. this mon can switch into ph xern with consistency levels rivaled only by bounce ogre (basically, you counter it as long as no parahax). fighting/psychic/ground resists are incredible as is the ability to soft check pixilate diancie. its good speed is actually a benefit here because you can recover more consistently. i've used this mon on some non shed teams and it still pulls its weight super well.
drop mmx to a, he sucks
drop kanga to b, incredibly underwhelming mon
steelix up to b-, prank entrain is a solid set
water absorb scizor is best set of all time
ban spore and lovely kiss and sleep powder so i get to use hypnosis gar (not drum cause thankfully people have realized it is bad)
add 10 game per day limit so i don't get tilted and we don't run into dimrah so often
update the vr maybe idk i've been pretty hard on you guys so u don't have to
there are 2 types of bh players, the ones who are carried by gar and the ones who are carried by shed. except motherlove, he's dead
this is all, have fun in gen 8
Lugia! The forgotten no more!
:)
I cannot believe this hasn’t received a Gen 8 equivalent. When I clicked on it I expected a Gen 8 post announcing we would move this thread to Gen 8 discussion.
In any case, I am really glad with everything you nominated. Scizor should just be used for countering Kyogre from now on, resist Ice Beam, and immune to Revelation Dance!
Watch out!
On a serious note, I still cannot believe it’s over. This generation is truly its own era.
Gen 7 was really complex, and at times too complicated with the sheer amounts of strategies, Pokemon, and even moves.
Gen 8 seems just interesting enough to be a metagame, but maybe we were so spoiled with Gen 7, that we don’t appreciate the simplicity of Gen 8.
For Generation 7, some would call it more fun, but to most, it’s simply just done.
I wonder if it will get removed from the OMotM in February. It’s just wierd to get used to something but watch it’s days dwindle to just a few weeks left of playability.
To everyone who participated: I am glad I was apart of this generation.
And in spite of the sarcasm of the post above, it’s the only time I saw someone else appreciate Lugia for the VR. So for that it gets a huge Like!
Lastly, but not Gastly: I think if people want to learn how to play BH, Gen 7 is probably the best metagame to do so. Other generations were building towards it, and that makes Gen 7 the peak they were going towards.
Gen 8 gets 200 new Pokemon to make up for the huge downhill drop in viable options (speaking of VR how many less will we have due to less Pokemon?), but will it best Gen 7?
I can’t say, but I don’t care. Gen 7 did it all, and then some.
