To try to answer your question more directly, of course other bulky waters ARE used, but pex is indeed normally the better choice which does contribute to the others’ low viability ranking. And keep in mind that it’s poison secondary typing is more of a benefit than a drawback - it gains...

It’s hard to say anything for sure off the gts (I personally would never trade anything to anyone else that I got off the gts), but there’s nothing about what you described that makes me think that’s not legit (unless it’s in a master ball). Legendaries automatically get 3 31 IVs so that’s...

Fair enough on some of these points. I overlooked that it can easily beat chansey, which truly is a boon for a special attacker. Being able to set up on mag (AV) and tapu lele (non-specs) is also nice. To counter, though, I don't know how you think it will set up on lando as even defensive EQ...

Cool nom. Cool teams too - I love it when I see unpopular mons being used on the high ladder. That said, you’re massively overselling hoopa-c IMO. Being able to 6-0 stall (sometimes) is hardly common ever since the duggy ban killed it, and its physical bulk is obviously lacking. Lastly, and most...

My googling came up surprisingly short on some specifics about EV training outside of pokepelago in gen 7, so I’d appreciate some info from you guys. 1. Every Pokémon that participates in a battle gets the same number of EVs, and that number is always the same for a given Pokémon enemy...

ESV Check Request In-Game Name: Vivian Friend Code: 2724-3766-2267 Generation: 7 Time Zone: GMT - 5 Number of Eggs: 15 Notes: Would appreciate some speedy help, this is me last minute scrambling to prep a mon for the secret santa giveaway. If you don’t want to check so many eggs we can do less -...

I’m pretty certain the answer is no. What actually advances the egg seed is either accepting or rejecting an egg and nothing else, including hatching an egg.

I expect that it would be extremely difficult to actually order these rankings by viability, since differences are pretty small and thus the orders would be in constant flux, if anyone could agree on where they go. As they stand, every Pokémon in a rank should be considered equally viable as...

Probably extremely minor spoiler of a side quest in game, but I’ll spoiler tag this question anyway. Does anyone have any details on the ditto 5 sidequest? Are the IVs and natures of the dittos locked beforehand or do I need to soft reset for the best stuff?

Thanks! E: @below: oh, thanks those are good ideas. I’ll keep those in mind as well.

What mons do you guys use to SOS chain for hidden abilities? It needs to have some move that shows the target’s ability when you use it, and false swipe, and some move that can inflict paralysis/sleep probably. Smeargle seems obvious, and maybe it is, but it’s a bit of a pain to get it to sketch...

To expand on Finch’s thoughts, stealth rocks and entry hazards in general serve to punish switching. Predicting your opponents actions and switching appropriately is absolutely fundamental to competitive Pokémon and is the primary difference between playing in game or playing against another...

I’m probably really biased because of my love of its typing, but I’m liking blace so far. It IS pretty matchup reliant atm with the prevalence of AV ttar to check naga, but nonetheless it puts in some serious work in the right matchups. I don’t particularly like mind blow sets due to the recoil...

My first shiny was a clamperl back in emerald. I didn’t know what it was, just thought it was weird that the colors were different so I caught it. Oh my younger days... wish I knew what happened to it. FC: 2724-3766-2267 IGN: Vivian Thank you in advance! Thank you! You’re very kind. Sorry if...
