I believe this one has been leaked, Hidden Power now has set damage of 60, rather than fluctuating based on IVs
This is great news for any new Technician pokes that appear this gen.

It won't be. If anything, I expect a buff. Poison types need it so bad and Sludge Wave feels like their Frost BreathI wonder if Sludge Wave will be also lowered. It'd be useless compared to Sludge Bomb.
Does mean Focus Blast got nerf too?Serebii has confirmed that flamethrower, thunderbolt, ice beam and surf have all been dropped to 90 power; hydro pump is now 110. I guess this is Game Freak's way of combating power creep.

Nice find, that's news to me. Hopefully there are plenty of megas we haven't found yet.![]()
well then.
The plot thickens...![]()
well then.
So does anyone else find it weird that there is only one new ground-type?
Ground-type event mons maybe?
Not to call you put specifically, but a lot ofpeople have been ccomplaining about the fact that physical attacks don't seem to be getting nerfed, because the singles meta in bw was very physical. I think the point that a lot of people are missing is that go is balancing for doubles, an environment where intimidate is very strong and which generally favors special attackers. Honestly, I'm happy about the special nerfs.Hopefully physical attacks suffered a proportional reduction, too. The metagame was already inclined to physical attacks in BW, if the major offenders (close combat, outrage, etc) don't have their powers reduced, or their accuracy lowered, or whatever, special attackers will be much scarcer this gen. Specially with the lower power Hidden Power, too.
Mega Evos don't change the HP stat, sadly. Changing rock to steel would be perfect though.I'm really hoping for a Mega Shuckle. Shuckle had so much potential, but no Gen IV Evo, barely anything from Gen V, now nothing in VI. Really the only buff he's gotten has been Acupressure in IV and Power Split in V.
All he needs is a MegaEvo with even 10/20 extra HP, or maybe even a little less tanky with a huge offense upgrade. I don't even care if the MegaEvo sucks, just Gamefreak please... :(
Honestly, i'm happy they gave it something.one one hand i'm glad Banette is getting one
on the other hand sssssure would have been nice for it to have just gotten an evo oh say 2 gens ago

According to research done, along with form trends going on with Pokemon such as Giratina, Shaymin, and Deoxys, the Pokemon's base HP stat does indeed stay the same when the transformation occurs with Mega Pokemon. Doing otherwise would lead to a lot of technical complications.This isn't entirely ruled out yet is it? I mean, it hasn't happened yet but we've only seen a handful of the base stats. Seems kinda arbitrary to say (@ Gamefreak) "Nah let's not change their HP."
