:rs/qwilfish: :rs/murkrow: :rs/misdreavus: :rs/crobat: :rs/vileplume: :rs/tyranitar: Movesets here! In the early gens, the dark type has a reputation for being an annoying and stally type due to the mediocre stats and lack of good STAB options available to most darks. To honor this tradition...

The AI in RBY chooses its move after the player does. If you switch out, say, a ground type for a water type, the "good AI" trainers would click thunderbolt over blizzard, even though that's obviously a terrible move for the original target. More than anything, I'd love to see boss trainers...

This has been bothering me for a while, but why do the opposite version's paradox pokemon have dex entries? It makes sense out of universe as a way of encouraging trades and multiplayer, but there's no reason for anyone in-universe to believe that the paradoxes are real, let alone to include...

These shifts are absolutely absurd, so I wanted to give my rough one-liners first impressions Overall, there are a lot of very strong options, but also some interesting mons I'm looking forward to using once the tier settles a bit

Now that showdown is live, I may as well put all of my thoughts in one place It's still early for me so there's a good chance I missed something, but I'm looking forward to seeing how these moves impact the meta

I think Evice from pokemon colosseum is the only boss fight in the series I'd criticize for being too difficult. On it's own merits, the team is incredible. DD salamence is a menace, SD pass scizor can be devastating to teams without a fire move, and of course, slaking + skill swap is a...

Tbf, king's shield isn't callable by metronome, but that's because it's a protect clone, not because it's a signature move. That being said, I agree that it would be strange to just randomly give it to zamazenta with how much it's tied to aegislash's mechanics. So this isn't a one-liner, it'll...

This took so much longer than I expected lol

:bw/tyrogue: That’s one more time I thought about tyrogue today than I expected

:bw/audino: I tried audino on a whim in a recent playthrough of Pokemon Black just so I could mess around with the reusable tms more and it really suprised me. Being stuck with double slap at the start was annoying, but once it got secret power and later return it was doing pretty respectable...

I feel like most of these are pretty safe picks, but I thought it was still interesting enough to warrant a post. Overall, there's a pretty heavy bias towards kanto and johto, since those are the regions where players would first encounter and build associations...

It’s also worth mentioning that the Scarlet dex entry of foongus says “There is a theory that the developer of the modern-day Poké Ball really liked Foongus, but this has not been confirmed.” It’s not a direct confirmation, but it makes it seem more likely that the pokemon came first imo

:kommo-o: Not much to say that hasn't been said already, with the right set or tera it can just circumvent most of it's checks. Please ban this thing :ceruledge: Sash sets can get out of hand way too easily and even with all of the new defensive tools, not much can actually eat it's STABs. It's...
