My post got removed (?) without any reason, so I have to post again.

Stunfisk should never have Limberas its ability. Unlike Rotom-Fan it actually also has useful abilities in Static and Sand Veil. Also the Chery Berry is useless.

I deleted your post because that question is already answered above in the thread. Specifically, here.

I sent a “inform person whose post was deleted why” message explaining this, apologies if it didn’t get to you.

Got this beautiful suicide lead Quagsire. I think Quag should never have a focus sash and always the move recover. Why else would you use it then to stall?

Also got a Mantine without Defog. Again, why would you use it without Defog?

Iirc a fix for things like the Quagsire is in progress. Defog, however, is too situation-dependent to flat-out force on every set in place of more broadly useful moves.

Got an Exploud without STAB (in particular no Boomburst) and, slightly less awful but still, an offensive Quagsire (even with Life Orb). Sorry no screenshots.

The Immortal fix all the blacklists. Now all blacklists are level 75, even publ, uubl

 

[DarkFlames64]

Got this nice Aura Break Zygarde-10%. Is this meant to happen? My first mon was Articuno, if that affects anything.

yes it is coded. You can get power construct zygarde at level 73 or aura break ones at higher levels

This seems like a pretty borderline case, but I'm not sure if Bewear should have Return and Double Edge. I figured it was worth bringing it up here in any case

https://snag.gy/RuxdYc.jpg -- got stabless mega mewtwo y, not sure if this is supposed to be a set cause I thought all mons were guaranteed at least 1 stab move and having wisp of all things instead of psystrike was rly annoying

Literally just got a message yesterday in the repo saying that TI had fixed this specific issue so it should hopefully be gone by next hotfix?

 

[duck]

can we get rid of pressure bisharp?

 

[SaturnZelda]

May I suggest that we add the Mega Rayquaza Clause into random battles and allow Rayquaza to use Dragon Ascent? It’s consistently worse than other Dragons in the tier because it has less coverage, a 4x weakness, and is walled quite a lot of the time because it doesn’t have access to its best move. I believe that it would be no worse (meaning broken) than other Pokémon allowed in randbats (e.g. Xerneas, Sigilyph, Swoobat). I get it wasn’t allowed to have that move because that allows it to Mega Evolve, but that’s the reason for the Clause.

Hide

Hide

edit2: why is focus sash a possible item for lanturn?

 

[Bright Powder Cena]

I can maybe get behind Toxic or Will-o on Mega Camerupt, but pls not both at the same time

Hide

 

[Crevo]

A Draconium Z Arceus with no STAB and 2 Ground type attacks.

 

[Billy the Uncle]

Gotta phaze everything (except Fairies with Taunt).

 

[Quantum Tesseract]

No entry hazards shuckle is not very useful at all

 

[Silver]

Unfortunately forgot to take a screenshot since I was in a rush, but I got Magearna with the Moveset Shift Gear, Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Iron Head. The double Steel STAB is not particularly helpful and I don't think this is intended.

EDIT: I just got this gem (used Sitrus Berry):

 

[Elgino]

I don't think this is supposed to happen

 

[Billy the Uncle]

This Omastar is really confused about its role.

 

[Kalalokki]

This Omastar is really confused about its role.

Beside the double water stab, it's not uncommon to run both hazards and a boosting move on these types of mons, helps them stay less passive.

 

[TheShiningEspeon]

Wouldn't Flare Blitz be better on Reckless Emboar?

 

[Zaide]

I present to you all the worst Porygon-Z set you can get.

Choice Scarf, and has the moves Trick, Shadow Ball, Conversion and Tri Attack.

Meaning if you do end up tricking the scarf - using conversion gives you the psychic type... I mean, conversion with no z-move is already awful, but it not even giving you a stab type is new levels of awful.

Edit : Just saw it was posted earlier

So, i just did a gen 7 random battle and used a mega sceptile with Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, Hidden Power Fire, and Substitute
So my question is, where's the grass move like leaf storm or giga drain?
Unfortunately i didn't take a screenshot

 

[Adeleine]

Random battle sets only ensure that you get one STAB attack you share a type with (here Dragon Pulse).
