How do we know that the damage calculation is the same as in the previous generations? (Without assuptions)
It's a special hold item that can be triggered in battle - they'll see competitive use.Im not sure if this is a stupid question, but its not here, and it might need some discussion, but...
...will mega-evolutions see smogon-tier competetive play? I mean, they require to be mega-evolved in battle - which to me seems like it requires trainer item imput, similar to using the pokeflute (something competetive battles have never allowed)
We don't, but we can reasonably assume that it hasn't been drastically altered. XY will be in alpha essentially for a little bit until we find out more.How do we know that the damage calculation is the same as in the previous generations? (Without assuptions)
No, it has not been.So with the European eShop release out and the NA one coming up quick, has it been confirmed yet that cloning via digital backup (either the save alone or the whole thing) is impossible?
The mechanics work as so: you have the Pokemon hold the Mega Stone, and select an option in-battle to Mega Evolve and then use a move. It does not require any separate item use, and thus they will surely be seen in competitive play.Im not sure if this is a stupid question, but its not here, and it might need some discussion, but...

It's confirmed that IVs are not maxed out in WiFi battles. No info about the possibility to IV train in super training.Did someone confirmed if the IVs are maxed out in wi-fi battles? or are at least customizable via super training?
As soon as we have complete information on Pokemon/moves/abilities and mechanics, the OU council will approve an initial banlist for X/Y.when will the tiers change ex. landorus and blaziken become ou and 6th gen pokes become usable
No, you have to actually defeat the Pokemon in order to receive EVs.Anyone know if there's a way to remove EVs? Also does catching a poke give you EVs?
but you cant use charizard X and mewtwo Y on the same team - this will be a huge hassle for players - and has it been confirmed the mega stones activate over wifi battles?It's a special hold item that can be triggered in battle - they'll see competitive use.
That's strange. That only adds up to 560, when Ampharos starts with 500. I was under the impression that Megas typically had an overall 100-point increase. Are there any other known exceptions?Gary2346: 90 / 95 / 75 / 135 / 90 / 75 are the stats that Showdown gives me. This may be an approximation.
You can't use any two Megas in the same battle anyway. But it should be possible to equip both Mega Stones for the hell of it, since they can be traded, right? So that shouldn't be a special case or anything.but you cant use charizard X and mewtwo Y on the same team - this will be a huge hassle for players - and has it been confirmed the mega stones activate over wifi battles?
