WAT? Why? Was that really necessary, Game Freak? God, Ice types really got the shaft this gen.
Theres a pattern here...
oh i get it
they nerfed the two 120 bp "hit everyone" moves that become 100% accurate in weather
~doubles~
We ban Soul Dew and not Latios/Latias, I see no reason why we can't ban a mega stone.
That... doesn't seem all that spectacular? Attack is boosted by 20? Attack?! But defense is the same? Are you sure its not the other way around?
Between those stats and the ability I'm not really seeing a good reason to use Mega Gardevoir at all. I mean its pretty strong but compared to other Megas...
Did you not see the news about frost breath? 60 power, 90 accuracy and GUARANTEED to critical hit. meaning it has 120 base power and 90 accuracy and ignores stat boosts. how is this a nerf?
Interesting that they decided to nerf the powerful special moves that hit all opponents, with doubles in mind of course.
Also Trollfreak strikes again by buffing Mega Gardevoir's Attack by 20, and not Defense.
What's the giant poofy dress all about, then!? It must give some sort of defensive bonus? Right? ...right...?
Hate to burst your bubble, but Mega Gardevoir's still slightly weaker in the SpA department than normal Gardevoir with Life Orb. Plus you lose Trace/Leftovers and gain no physical defense. The SpD and Speed boosts are nice though.
But Blizzard getting the nerf is weird. Ice types have frost breath anyway, but Blizzard was supposed to be part of a trio with Fire Blast and Thunder.

it didnt hit multiple targets though, or become 100% accurate in sun... do we have a picture of its base power?
Edit: nevermind there it is.... hmm ill go with flamethrower in that case
I guess this means hydro pump is weaker too...
good
good

Positive. Someone on the data collection forums calculated the IVs of the Ralts at both levels 5 and 30, and knew the nature was Modest. It is a little weird, but on the other hand, 165 spec attack and 100 speed with a dragon immunity ain't bad.
So... Fairy gets a Physical move with 30 PP, 90 base power, good accuracy, AND a chance to apply a stat debuff, in addition to a stat lowering Flamethrower clone, AND it's own weather.
Plus a gym.
Seriously, why do I even bother liking the Dark-type? It's like I'm playing as the Oakland Raiders. Sure, they've started showing some promise in some key areas, but Fighting-types (compare: Chargers) haven't been nerfed very much, Fairies (compare: Broncos) are pretty much the GOATypes, and Ghost (compare: Chiefs) has always had elemental advantages and is now showing just how good it can be.
90 base power. Good distribution. Using my own Pokemon's attack. Is that so hard, Game Freak?

Hm... all the 120 power special moves getting nerfed to 110. What about Hydro Pump or Power Whip? Or Close Combat and the like?
Oh it doesn't? I must have had bad memopries of Whimsicott in BW1's sport domes
Actually, at the time of posting it, no I had not seen that. That helps quite a bit.
That might explain why Sylveon tanked that Hydro Pump from that Politoed so well...
