Welcome to RU Talonflame.
I feel like it straight up ruins talonflame period LMAO
gen 6 introduced a ton of extremely niche moves that barely anyone learned
Question is whether low base speed necessarily dooms a critter (exhibit A: Amoonguss). But as I alluded to before, I do wish speed wasn't a gatekeeper stat.
Gamefreak takes balance tips from HAL, they just metaknighted his ass lmao
Now is there anything that straight up counters Pheramossa?
gamefreak in gen 6: speed & priority is good
gamefreak in gen 7: actually
Which is why I'm overjoyed to see so many vanilla moves that are just damage + an extra effect. Pokemon has too many varying opponents to support niche moves that only work in 2 or 3 situations.
Yeah, IGN is right - it's so hard to train Blaziken in the game.
When does the 100% form activate again, this thing is insane; Physical defence tier is as good as Chansey's special (- eviolite) and it special defence is as good as Regi Ice.

{blinks} Granted it's already pretty fast without the ability, but this still means that one Brave Bird breaks the Gale Wings boost.
How many leashes did GameFreak think were necessary?
Once again. Not a bad score. They still loved the game. Balanced enemies is basic game design. If the entire sun and moon were just water Pokemon (due it being a tropical island) it'd get old fast and wouldn't let every type have a chance to shine. Nothing to do with "being hard to level" just proper and fair design and balance.
People think 70% = average because of school grades. 70% in school is average and 50% is failing while in games 50% is average and 70% is "good".
This is because school is different than games and movies. You can't have a mathematician or a doctor tag only gets things right 50% of the time which is why a 59% and below is an F.
You can totally enjoy a game that you only liked half of though. I know plenty of people that hate he campaign in Pokemon but love mutiayer. They on enjoy 50% of the game, and they still like it so it wasn't a failure in their eyes.
This is why that joke is so dumb. It's completely ignorant to the fact that you can dislike 22% of a game but still love it overall and enjoy that 78% of it.
Now stop baiting us off topic.
To go with this, there was something I was wondering about.
Dancing moves have added flags, if I understood the pasteee correctly.. They're maybe related to Oricorio's ability?
That bittersweet feeling of Knock Off not actually being nerfed, but Gale Wings is!
Jesus, they REALLY hate that bird.
When a Zygarde with the Power Construct ability is reduced to less than 50% HP.
Well technically HAL didn't have anything to do with Meta Knight's nerfs. That game was developed by Nintendo/Namco. Sakurai hasn't been with HAL for a long time. Also Meta Knight became good after a few patches too.
But I get what you were getting at. They want to destroy the winged fiend from his heavenly high tier perch
So gamefreak's definitely been making strides to help nerf some common VGC stuff (the systematic take down of priority, for one) but has anything affected Landorus-T & Thundurus
I guess Thundurus has priority nerfs for prankster stuff, but you'd think landorus would have got hit with something too. It's been like 5 years of Landorus and I always saw complaints about it and the others.

Personally not too intrigued by the Electric UB - tail glow is cool, but 71 defenses and low speed isn't. Basically forced to run scarf (Thundy-T syndrome just higher SpA + ability). Am I the only one that likes UB01? Woulda been cool if its SpA > SpD and not other way around but oh well. Also that grass/steel UB is gonna destroy everything lol
I'm glad the water/poison one is good. Low HP sucks but higher defenses than Ferro + regen or even a merciless + venoshock + recover set is amazing, can't wait
Tapu Koko not getting play rough.. lol and Tapu Fini not getting (reliable) recovery... lol
I wish Alolan forms got better stats, no more sandslash for me.. at least Muk is still decent
Was hoping for better stats for Palossand as well but oh well. Shell smash Minion ftw

Do we know if the sound based moves also become stronger? And it seems to be just hyper voice. Kinda of a let down ability.
It does seem to get Perish song, which is not bad, but breeding only, which means if I just only use the starter I can't use that :(
I'm quite happy with the Talonflame nerf. It will still be able to check a lot of pokemon, but Talonflame really ruined battlespot.
