Hello?

This new Dragonite could be a beast on a rain team. I think its at least on par with Salamence at this point.

This new triple battle system could make some pokemon that are currently useless be extremely helpful or at least usable.

If a move has less than 100% accuracy, say, 85%, and you use a move that increases your accuracy or decreases it, will the moves' accuracy change during the battle? Basically, can stone edge get to 100% accuracy?

How do accuracy calculations work?

I loved dive. I liked the undersea caverns.

I don't think assuming BST based on the movies is very wise or accurate.

That answers my question. Also, if you look at the map, there are at least two mountains that look like they'll have ice types. On either side of the region. I expect a lot of new ice types.

Who thinks Smogon will start basing tiers on triple battles? I'm new so I don't know if there are any rules about that.

Yes. You have a point. Not all pokemon with great abilities are useful. It could just be a gimmick. From the update in the ITT thread, it doesn't look like it has the stats to be an uber either.

Because of Illusion it might be banished to Ubers.

I doubt that we'll see anything Pokemon related at the press conference.

Of course, the Pink pig thing will take names. Is this the first pure steel?

Not to be a hater, but my first opinion of the new pokes was "Disgusting" The horse one isn't that bad though.

How important are IVs, actually? Please explain why.
