Hacking rare candies is commonplace for Nuzlocke content, mainly because streamers realized that nobody wants to watch them run back and forth grinding a mon from level 42 to level 100 There are cases where you can't use an Exp. Share because that means something else is getting xp too...

-The fact that Springtide Storm, Wildbolt Storm and Sandsear Storm are terrible moves -The fact that Bleakwind Storm is not a terrible move

When Iron Fist was first added, it was only given only to Hitmonchan so it can't be that they thought the pokemon were already strong enough. Either way, :melmetal: is here now and keeps it from ever getting buffed Mythicals not being allowed in VGC could be its own thing entirely, it made...

Let's look to SHUCKLE for the worst pokemon ever This thing has both Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, plus Encore to prevent setup and Final Gambit for early momentum combined with Sturdy, this thing was born to be a suicide lead, so they give it good speed, at least base 100, decent attack and its...

The options aren't Slow/Mid/Fast, they're Slow/Slow/Mid There is no "Instant" option and there is no "Skip to end" button I use medium text speed sometimes bc that's the default and emulator speed-up can make you forget to put it on fast On the Regigigas discussion: (+ Tri-Attack)

Does Poison Puppeteer activate off Baneful Bunker poison?

I found that Riolu's biggest problem is how matchup dependent it is. In a good matchup ie no priority and no dark types, just don't make a big mistake and you win easily. On the other hand in a bad matchup ie multiple dark types and multiple priority mons, you lose unstoppably unless they make a...

What's up with turn 1 Sacred Sword clickers? Do ppl wanna risk the entire game on a 50/50 turn 1? Do they think they're the only ones with Sacred Sword? Here's the scenario I'm referring to: 1. Both go Sam-H 2. Both click Sacred Sword 3. One side loses the speed tie and starts the game 5v6...

Moves that WERE used with an uncopycattable forte cannot be copycatted, meaning you cannot copycat your own moves after phazing the opponent However what you can do is copycat a previously-used move that didn't have the circle throw forte and then you'll get circle throw's effect at +1...

Are the crit items still getting banned as soon as the bugs get fixed or will there be another vote

DLC additions: :chimecho: Cresselia's sins have been atoned for and no more will there be headaches in the teambuilder over Levitate + Recovery. Previously, Cryogonal was the only one with Levitate + Recovery, now we have a second option with an arguably better movepool: Wish, Heal Bell, Calm...

Hearthflame has a bit of a 4MSS, it has coverage to hit its checks but it can only run 1 coverage move due to needing SD and dual stab: It's not just Fire, both of your stabs are also resisted by Dragon, you need Play Rough for Dragonite, Kommo-O and Haxorus, Play Rough/Low Kick for Roaring...

Where do necrozma and the ultra beasts fit into this

With Levitate Gholdengo being its most common set, usually from Uxie/Hydreigon, I'd like to present an alternative: :gholdengo: + :chesnaught: (:kommo-o: post-DLC) Chesnaught (Gholdengo) @ Leftovers Ability: Bulletproof Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk -...

Beads of Ruin isn't from Ting-Lu, it's from Chi-Yu, which is banned

Technically fails in Gen 1 due to special being one stat and thus making Mewtwo 590 BST

Cope option 2 - Pixilate/Scrappy Rapid Spin (actually don't it's an awful set) :enamorus: As if superpower was even necessary: 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Enamorus (Braviary-H) Focus Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Goodra-Hisui (Slowking): 166-198 (45.6 - 54.3%) -- 94.5% chance to...
