I have seen a few Earthquake ones actually. I think that might be why some of the Lapras I saw were running Perish Song. In general, Perish Song is bad news for Glalie. Lapras is the best user of it against Glalie, but Alolan Marowak and Primarina can use it in clutch scenarios since they aren't going to get OHKOed without the right boosts.A lot of the glalie counters I've seen being mentioned lose to the earthquake/freeze dry set which completely wrecks the listed counters. Am I the only one seeing that set as I'd encountered over 10 glalie and they've all ran that set except one
Yeah, I plan on testing out Z-Alolan Perisan myself next season in light of this news. Might pair it with some cool sweepers like Mega Salamence. I'll try it on Silvally too, though that doesn't have as much physical bulk or Speed.I figure this is the spot to put the 1.1 update news via http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml
A brand new patch has been released for the Generation VII Pokémon games. This patch brings the game up to Version 1.1 and provides a few updates. The patch is 296 blocks to download. These patches are required to go online on your games and required to participate at official events. This patch fixes the previously announced glitch with the moves Z-Parting Shot and Z-Memento on Battle Spot and a glitch in regards to the winner of a game if Rocky Helmet knocks the opponent out when you're knocked out. It also fixes the glitch where a Pokémon wouldn't learn a move when it evolved such as with Kadabra and Confusion
Decently important Z moves, I'd say.
Silvally is a cool mon but gf were greedy with him. No good stats, no good moverpool.Yeah, I plan on testing out Z-Alolan Perisan myself next season in light of this news.

You need a minimum of 172 Atk EVs if you want to score the 2HKO on bulky Marowak-Alola with Brave Bird; 100 if it's fully offensive instead. Other than that, there's nothing worth the investment before bank is out—not on a mixed set, at least.Guys a quick question regarding a mixed set for Tapu Koko.
Does the poke need to invest on attack or not at all?
Semi rookie myself so dont know if it is worth investing on attack in order to reach certain benchmarks. Thanks in advance.
Tapu Fini and Porygon2 are both reliable answers to it.Check and counters for Marokaw-A?
Inceniroar, then?
I have a good team for bss, but it has "a few" problems when Marowak-A switch on my Tapu Koko and then use Will-O-Wisp. lol
Here is the 1st placed team: https://translate.google.com/transl.../ch.nicovideo.jp/musi_akari/blomaga/ar1168310
Please check the last news. Jap players have Gen VIII.These badly translated names are cracking me up:
Hot water bolt change
Refrigerated beam pursuit
Same.I haven't played any cart yet, so I was surprised to see Lucario being the 9th most used Pokemon (and 2nd most used mega).
There are so many good Fire-types coming back like Charizard, Blaziken, Rotom-H, Heatran, Entei and Volcarona. This very likely means a decrease in Celesteela usage.With the release of Pokebank, what do you think the new meta will look like? Which pokemons will get better/worse/outclassed, etc?
I remember some people speculating about Thundurus vs Tapu Koko as electric lead (in the early season), because Thundurus has more utility with Prankster+Taunt/TWave and a higher SpA (lower Spe tho).
Do you think Tapu Koko will fall, after being the N°1 Pokemon in the first (non-pokebank) Season of BSS?
Are there any other pokemons that could meet the same fate? Which ones could shine along with the alolan Pokemons?
It's a shame Thundurus doesn't get the terrain effects, Electric Terrain boosted TBolts coming from him really sounds scary.i think tapu koko is a lot better than thundurus, for a number of reasons:
a) prankster has diminished a lot in usefulness with the addition of tapu lele and the dark-type's immunity to prankster, meaning that thundurus is now checked by such threats as scarf hydreigon as opposed to the other way around;
b) tapu koko sits at a fantastic speed tier, which makes it faster than threats to thundurus' existence such as weavile and greninja. it also hits harder with its electric stab;
c) electric/flying typing is pretty good defensively but electric/fairy is better, and koko at least has dazzling gleam to sort-of make use of its secondary stab; and
d) lastly, and most importantly, paralysis is not nearly as good as it used to be. thunder wave can now miss, which will impact its viability on thundurus considerably, and paralysis only halves speed as opposed to quartering it, which no longer guarantees that teammates above a certain speed bracket will always be faster than a paralysed foe. add in the dark-type buff and thundurus is a hell of a lot worse than it was last gen, to the point where i'd be willing to predict that thundurus-therian will see more use (electric terrain thunderbolts are going to hurt on typespam archetypes).
speaking of tapu koko, it's gained a whole array of new checks that'll keep it from running the tier like it did in prebank (i'm thinking primarily excadrill and ferrothorn but i'm sure there are more that i can't think of rn) but it's way too good to fall out of the top 10 imo, for the time being at least.
