I wonder if tyrantrum actually gets dragon dance. From all the LP's I've seen i haven't seen shit in boosting moves except hone claws.

Actually, some people do produce games with a more philanthropic outlook in mind.
Trying to pick a fight or somethin'? I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me, but if many people are angry or disappointed with the mega evolutions after they've had time to settle, it means something.
I'll admit that my previous post had a bit too much vitriol, but I really think that mega evolutions were a poor choice in terms of game design, and that the best they could do for the metagame is keep it tilted too far in the offensive direction.

Ah, I was for some reason under the impression that is was just status moves like thunder wave or toxic that you couldn't use with it.
I believe that's when Poke Bank will be released, which will allow mons not normally found in the game to be transferred in and tested. Until then, we have no idea how they've been changed.

Can we talk inverse battles here?
In which Grass and Bug become devastating offensive types and steel is weak to over half of all attacks. (type advantages are reversed, for those unaware)
That's a meta I'd like to play around in.
What are people's thoughts on inverse battles? What are the threats to look out for?
edit: or should this subject have its own thread maybe?

Will people have to wait until December? I remember in Gen IV we got all the base stats, Pokedex numbers and types of all the new Pokemon extracted straight from the code. I think it was actually before the game was even released, since I remember we were all going through the stats working out which Pokemon got evolutions, etc. It was the same back in Gen III too. For example, we got the sprites for all the old Pokemon extracted from Ruby and Sapphire, even though it was impossible to actually obtain most of them until Leaf Green and Fire Red came out. So is it possible for the base stats, type combos, etc. to get taken out the game's code again, rather than having to wait until December? I'm sure there's people already working on it.
I wouldn't say those two situations are comparible. Every generation there's always been lots of adjustments to moves. Some moves like Mega Drain, Hi Jump Kick, etc. have been changed 3 or 4 times over the generations. There's even precedent for changing type combos in Magnemite and Magneton, so that's not so weird either. However, the only time a Pokemon's base stats have ever been changed was in Generation II with the special split. And in that case, all Pokemon kept their old Special stat as one of their new stats (or in some cases like Mew, Venusaur, etc. they kept it for both). Not saying it's impossible for them to change, but I think it's unlikely. I wouldn't expect it.

That was because the DS and GBA games were easy to hack. The 3DS games are more secure. Maybe someone will be able to crack the code before December, but it won't be easy.
Can't crack the code atm
Ok, i shouldnt have generalized, since some people do produce games with philathropic purposes. But thats not gamefreak's case, and we know it.
Hey guys, what's your Opinion on Furfrou?
At first I was sure it was gonna be a generic trash normal pokemon but Fur Coat is a REALLY good ability. It definitely seems useable now. Could a Normal type physical wall be a thing?
Too bad it probably has no recovery moves except for Rest.

how do inverse battles treat immunities?
I'm not sure. I don't have the game myself yet, it's just something I've heard about from Serebii and also here and it seems really exciting.
Normal will also be a hell of a type, either with no weaknesses (if immunities remain) or being completely unresisted (if they are changed).
I would definitely say that this topic is not what should be discussed here. I'll leave the mods up to the rest ;)
Stealth Rock exists.
EDIT: Also, the weather nerf means you are REQUIRED TO SWITCH, so Stealth Rock is an even bigger issue than it would've been in Gen V. Charizard has a craptastic special movepool (only gets STABs, Focus Blast, SolarBeam, and HP) and Y might see use in Doubles, but there's no way in hell it'll make it to OU.
Charizard X, on the other hand, might see some use in UU and, if it's lucky, OU. That thing's physical movepool is pretty good.

I don't know how much Strong Jaws boost is so all I did was take Aerodactyl, and switch its typin(Rock/Dragon) and stats(125 ATK, 120 DEF)
If there is anything I learned from playing competitive pokemon, its the fact that having good defense is not something that make a good wall, which is one of the reason why Cress.... sucks
What did Furfrou does aside from walling?
Gunk Shot is actually viable now due to it's accuracy increasing from 70 to 80.
Also somebody needs to check Lilligant if it's Grass/Fairy.! I know someone has found Petilil in the Friend Safari. (Saw one on the GTS, wanted Yveltal though <_<) Whimsicott is Grass/Fairy so maybe Lilligant is too?

Barbaracle gets Shell Smash, Stone Edge, Cross Chop, and Razor Shell, and very possibly Waterfall and Aqua Jet as well, while being a Water / Rock with Tough Claws and those stats: 70 / ~115 / ~115 / x / 100 / 80. So please welcome to OU the best Shell Smash sweeper in the game!
Lilligant is Pure Grass: http://archive.foolz.us/vp/thread/14504483/
I know; sad news. I was crushed by the revelation of Milotic as a Pure Water, so I feel your pain.
Um i dont think it gets waterfall however it has base 50 special attack.
*flips over 9000 tables* DAAAMN!!!
God dammit, I was looking forward to testing it out as a wall some time, now I will look stupid doing that.
Anyway, any thoughts on Power-Up Punch? I know it is a pretty weak move (40 base power) but increasing attack with every hit is nothing to pass over. I can see it being used on something like Terrakion for example, who has a little wiggle room in its moveset, and can use it on weakened Pokemon to kill them off + boost attack.
