Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

Sorry about that. These new stats are great to know. Not that Shaymin-S needs physical attack, but it could work as a novelty. Giratina's Origin form is going to be extremely good, with those new and improved attacking stats, Choice Specs sets should be fun. Aura Sphere + Shadow Ball + Thunder + Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse seems good, or a Calm Mind set with Will-o-Wisp.

The new Rotom forms' stats remind me of Spiritomb, but with weaknesses and a lot more special attack. This should be fun :)

EDIT: Beat me to it aragornbird!
 
Well now.... Looks like I was sort of right with the color thing. >_> Hmph!


This is interesting, but Bullet Punch Scizor gives me a baaaaad feeling. Expect to see a lot of shifts of power in the near future...

And, like, I just got a great Gastly, too. No fair! :(
I do have my own Scizor but it's a Swarm one...

But anyway, so far everything else has been very interesting. Darkrai NASTY PLOT lol. Our expectations for Sky Shaymin weren't high enough to match what was revealed apparently......
 
Thinking about it now, since you can probably alter between Rotom forms, what about mixxing movesets fromeach form to another (like Leaf Storm on Toaster Rotom, or funner to say, Toast'om if it is a fire type). Kinda like with Deoxys.
 
I have to get my parents some of those Rotom!
They would never have to do the laundry or mow the lawn or ask me to do it.
 
What is going to happen to Darkrai? Ubers is already a "ban" tier so theoretically we couldn't move him up, could we? This is going to be painful, atleast for whoever isn't using Plotrai!
 
Well I'm 99% sure it doesnt even need to be tested in OU anymore, as now it can definitely do something Gengar can't.
 
Yes, that is what I am getting at. Every uber team will need more than one dark resistance that has above average special defense. I will be using Timid Scarf Heatran and Scarf Heracross, both with Sleep Talk, on the same team.
 
Serebii has mini-sprites up:

I don't know if it's been posted or not, but Bidoof and Bibarel get Curse. Obviously it won't push it into OU but it might help it gain popularity.
Would Simple mean that 2 Curses would be -4 Speed?
 
The Sky forme Shaymin is FASTER than Darkrai, capable of sweeping, both special and physical, and has TogeFlinch... If it has a way for paralysis, I wonder if it'd be Uber O_O

Yes, and +4 Attack and +4 Defense. Remember, it gets Amnesia as well, giving it +4 Defense, +4 Attack, and +4 Special Defense just after 3 turns.
 
There are apparently Move Tutors for Outrage and Hydro Pump; both moves are missing from Origin Forme and washing machine Rotom's level up lists, even though we have seen the former with Outrage and the latter with Hydro Pump. Given that neither one of them has egg moves, this leaves only one possible conclusion.
 
If only Trick Room lasted longer than five turns, Curse Bibarel would be awesome.

@Unown Lord
And Leaf Storm, and Overheat, and Blizzard, I assume?

COMBEE GETS BUG BITE! YAYS!
