With all the discussion about IV, I just remember about the fact that we can transfer pokémon from RBY to Sun and Moon. While the values can be just multiplied by 2 to match more or less with the actual stat system, Hidden Power has still a problem (all hidden power would be fighting by using...

I'd like to get back to bewear's ability. It's not really Fur Coat with a weakness added. Fur Coat halves the power of moves which use the defense stat. Fluffy halves the power of contact moves (by the way I read it). So, earthquake is only halved by Fur Coat while Grass knot is only halved by...

I haven't seen someone noticed it yet, but it seems that the experience scaling is back. Lvl 7 Popplio has gained 14xp against a lvl 3 trainer's Caterpie while a lvl 3 Ledyba has gained 69xp against a lvl 5 wild pikipek (which i would presume has a base xp close to pidgey). Without xp scaling...

A pokémon I like that others don't is surely Wingull, even if in the beginning I didn't like this pokémon myself. It's just that after my two first nuzlockes, I had to play with him every time. My friends told me at that time I had the Wingull's curse and I'd be forced everytime to play it in...

I remember, during the 4th Gen era that in French speaking countries, there were a clause like the aldaron proposal but for the Sand Veil + Sandstorm and Snow Cloak + Hail. But by now, we use the smogon tiers.

About Heliolisk. I know that he will be most likely UU but I build a funny team with him in OU. (I know UU doesn't exist yet) I've seen in his preview analysis that he is checked by Rotom-W. But I do the contrary, Heliolisk checks Rotom-W. My question is, how Rotom-W can check Heliolisk as seen...

But fairy is SE against fighting and dark, rendering it neutral. But Mawile (Fairy/Steel) resists Fairy/dark

Well, it already happened in the same case (but I didn't remember the name of the moves) but in a larger scale, we had also in Gen. V shiny pokémons named "chromatiques" (before we used the english word and a lot of French speakers still use the English word now)

There's something I want to ask. Here in french speaking countries, the 6th gen will have several changes in name. For example, abilities which was called "capacités spéciales" in French will now be called "talent" or the move Night Shade which was called "Ténèbres" will be changed to the direct...

At first I was against Drizzle. But I noticed that it will stay in OU for the remaining of the Gen V. Drizzle's problem isn't that it's overpowered but it brings other problems. The first for me is the teambuilding's problem. Teams have strong archetypes. You can't use sun abusers in rain team...

I'd like to add something about the argument of limiting the diversity. Indeed, it limits the teambuilding for the weatherless team, but I find also for the weather teams themselves. Example : Do you stick Heatran with drizzletoed ? For me Heatran is a very good poke, but in a rain team, he's...

Good job with the stats Antar, but I think you need to divide by 2 (or maybe by something like 6/9.8 since 9.8 pokemons is used by battle and people usually used 6) the percentage. It seems to me very high. Generally, the most used poke is around 20-25% (the contrary'd surprise me)

I think on the contrary that we need to re-define the definition of an Uber. For me it's the only way we have to be sure that no one complaint about the ban or not of a pokemon. If everyone (or a majority) agrees about the definition of Uber, we can't say anymore that the voters choose to ban...

I'm not against combo ban (for ability+ability), but I can understand people who don't like it. It's more simple blanket ban. About the bans themselves, I think we have two possibilities. Stay as we are now. Metagame pretty much stable but very powerful. All (over)powered poke balance...

What is the set you prefer for Virizion ? The physical one or the special one ? I prefer the physical one. I hate the accuracy of Focus Blast. And as seen as it's his best special attack, it seems unreliable. Giga drain is nice to recover health, but it's not that strong. At least, with CC and...
