Thanks you two :blobthumbsup:

So we no longer have to breed someone with the HA to pass it down? I'm way behind in the meta, as well as from the past gen. I can give an Ability Patch to my mon and I can choose the HA then?

How do we get Hidden Abilities for this gen? Particularly with the starters. Or do we have to wait awhile until they start releasing HA Pokemon somehow?

I've routinely been a hermit throughout the gens, and with what's been going on with the meta as it changes, so this is going to seem like a pretty silly question, but I would appreciate an explanation. Why is it that Pokemon with transfer moves only, such as Slowbro with Teleport, can be used...

It's definitely useful vs those defensive mons, I agree. I think from my part, it's moreso from making the right calls to find a safe switch in to A-Marowak, and then having to deal with possibly being hit again after (since it's slow, as we've established). Even boosted Magearna/Volcarona can...

Man. I really want to like Alolan Marowak. I love its design, typing, and moves. But having such a poor speed makes this thing really hard to keep momentum vs speedier offensive/bulky offensive mons. Swords Dance seems almost impossible to make use of unless they switch on the same turn, but...

I haven't seen how the extent of Gale Wings got nerfed, since I've been pretty inactive for 7th gen and assumed it was just a damage nerf. This makes more sense now, thank you for explaining.

I get that. But the OP mentioned Liberace, Alakazam, and Starmie as examples of speed threats, with the only other offensive move listed atm as Flare Blitz. My point being that why would you want to Flare Blitz those Pokemon anyway? Roost and Brave Bird will have priority, so the only useful...

One thing that sucks about Hurricane on Talonflame, aside from its meh base Special Attack, is that if you're relying on rain, you'll deal less damage with any fire move you considered running. I guess it won't matter in the long scheme of things when you're firing off priority Hurricane, but...

Why is almost everything locked right now, including the Pokemon threads with builds? Is it cause of the DLC/we're redoing everything?

Iron Head hits Clefable, Grimmsnarl, Hatterene, Kyurem, Mimikyu, Ninetales-Alola, Shuckle, Terrakion, Togekiss, and Tyranitar all super effective with "stab" Libero. Sure, most of these won't enjoy getting smacked by Pyro Ball/Flare Blitz anyway, but at least you'll have the speed to outrun the...

So I was looking at our current OU listed here and counted 32 OU Pokemon. I'm aware these will be subject to change with new Pokemon being released, Dracovish gone, etc - but I wanted to go ahead and see how the move coverage for Cinderace would affect OU and here's what I got: Cinderace's...

With Bounce and Power Whip not being as useful for the current Dynamax ban, what kind of sets are we looking into for Gyarados? Standard DDance with Earthquake/Waterfall/Dragon Dance/Filler? Jolly/Adamant?
