seems like mega salamence will get an attack and defense raise since it's double edge is going to hit "like a bullet" or is it just more hyping up the power of Aerilate? Anyways it's clear it will get a defense raise from the wording
And Golurk
And none of those are their starters, who have more problems than the Hoenn starters.
The Gen V starters X3
Lol let's hope GF goes nuts and does that
I'll be OK with their HA released. Sheer Force Feraligart and Flash Fire Typhlosion FTW
I'd prefer they dump like 80 into attack and 20 in speed to out speed a majority of threats.
2 cotton guards maxs you out a +6 def already. If you used it a 3rd time it'll fail. But yeah if it get's an opening to set that up even once it starts taking SE moves like a pro. Also it has Roost and Heal Bell to keep itself perfectly healthy
whoops forgot it was +3 and not +2. Man.. I'm going to have to remember to kill this thing before it gets a chance to wreck house. And then there's boomerang the Salamence.. Threat threat threat threat.
Base 156 attack and 125 speed is definitely an improvement regardless. The description mentions that it is "potent" so obviously a majority of the stat points will go to attack. I'd like to see it's defenses buffed a bit though.
Lopunny would need at least +60 on Attack to be a threat. And please Troll Freak, don't give 4chan's favorite bunny a buff on Special Attack, just like you did with mega gardevoir's Attack
Altaria can run DD + Return + Dragon Claw + Earthquake too… Very similar to Char-X.
You could also run Double-edge over Return if you don't mind the recoil for some massive damage.
Before it got the fairy typing, Azuril was normal while Marill and Azumarill were water only. So yes, but it was retroactively corrected.
I was thinking that Altaria could get two DDs in with its bulk and great typing.
If you'e gonna run DD then yeah Return over Hyper Voice for sure. As you said both physical and special have steel hitting options but only physical gets a boosting move right now. On the other hand Special has a wider move pool in general. From all the translations I've seen it's unclear if it will have a bigger sp.atk or atk boost. We just know it will get both. So it could very well be going mixed or have both physical and special sets that are viable.
since we're on this again Alteria needs 80 of it's 100 new BS in just 2 stats before it even matches Charizard X's base speed and atk (not gonna happen if it's getting sp.atk too like translations say) and even then it's lacking a tough claw boost in it's STABs and then Charizard X gets better coverage with it's STABs so it doesn't even really need EQ and can instead use Roost to stay healthy which Alteria wouldn't be doing... but I've said that like 9 times now so... idk... DD M-Alteria is just very outclassed I feel.... like it's good but if you're being competitive I think the other two Mega DD Dragons will be more damgier quicker. I guess I can see where people are coming form about it having an easier time setting up Dances though... I just really like the idea of it being a Special wall that has cool moves like Heal Bell and Perish Song. It's just so more unique.. sigh....
I'm running either a Taunt or an encore set on every one of my teams just to deal with MegaTeria. Although Pixilate Return/ Hyper Voice will still hurt a lot...
INB4 Troll Freak decides to "equilibrate" it's offensive stats to 125 each and makes it "defensive with defensive stats ranging from 100 to 115
