I was a believer from day 1 and it paid off splendidlyKingambit is one of the best designed pokemon so far.
And this reflects on everyone going from "Oh no, Bisharp evo!" to "OH YES, BISHARP EVO OMG I'M DYING AAAAA
"
assuming RF tentacruel has 100 speed like the original, it honestly sounds like a debuff. would much rather have fast spores over dodging vital spirit igI wonder if Salt Cure will be affected by Binding Band and Grip Claw.
Does anyone think Mycelium Might will be any good? Avoiding abilities is nice, but I think you'll encounter immunities by typing than by ability. Also, every taunter in the entire world outspeeds you.
Will really depend on how common Magic Bounce will be in whatever tier Toedscruel ends up. Being able to Spore and set up Spikes (if it gets them) without caring about Magic Bounce could be very valuable.
I have several questions about the paradox pokemon. First being, can anybody show the actual ingame description of the paradox item 'boosting power'? I am curious if that item alone gives you any extra increase in damage. My second question is that while the paradox abilities are triggered through harsh sun or e-terrain, can we use further boosting items to further amplify our damage? Like lifeorb or specs? If that's the case then having sun/terrain gives a bigger boost in total since we still have the option of holding an item. And finally my last question, do any of the paradox mons get any signature moves?
Does the ability specify that it uses status moves slowly tho? I interpret that be the opposite of prankster.
But please hide it. I'd rather not see it.can you guys at least tell us why the story is bad. I'm nosy
As the resident Trick Room whore, the lack of Porygon saddens me. :(
I need that setter with the Ghost immunity, plus Teleport to get the breakers in.
Maybe something else will fill that niche.

Lets not discusses story spoils here please. I just wanna see the pokemon and play the game myself to experiance the story
Its using any status right? So stat debuffs, or hazards, or weather, or status eflictions all happen no matter what, which seems quite nice. They cant stop any of your setup.
Hell, could this stop encore, or is this just ability?
it specifies ability, so it wouldn't dodge encore. i just can't imagine what abilities you would be trying to dodge, unless there's a specific magic bounce mon you're trying to deal with.
Game Freak has never wanted to give Spore to speedy mon I feel. So now I'm wondering if they gave the Tentashrooms that ability and only that ability to work around doing just that.
In Area Zero there's a song that is probably the best in the entire series imo... I wonder if Toby Fox composed it? Has Undertale x Nier Automata vibes.
Edit: Unfortunately seems to have a short loop. Still so satisfying to hear.

I wonder if it's one of those mons with only one ability specifically because of that.
It'd be funny if they gave it a really useless alternate ability like Illuminate, but everyone used it anyway just so they can fire off Base 100 Spores.
It looks even better with three segments than two, imo the body looks more balanced that way.
Mycelium Might will end up being just -1 priority to all status moves but they can't be avoided/ignored/stopped by any ability.
I don't belive it affects Magic Bounce because it does not avoid the status move, it bounces it back. I belive it works only on things like Overcoat, Oblivious (taunt), etc...

If it works like Mold Breaker but for status, then it should bypass Magic Bounce
Angry fluff ball
Yeah, most abilities that give immunity to various status are either mostly non-competitive (Water Veil, Immunity, Limber, etc) or are pretty uncommon to encounter / unique (like Komala, or the new Coin mon's ability). Magic Bounce and Overcoat are probably the best ones with some distribution.
Edit: I guess since its all status moves, abilities that prevent lowering of stats, or from being taunted/infatuated, could apply as well.
That's the exact thought that hit me today and prompted my question. It might have Tentacruel-like stats, but Spore might be ability-locked behind Mycelium "Might."
Do the Paradox Pokémon have the same cries as their base versions, or do they have new/remixed ones?
I heard that Iron Valiant's cry is a mix of Gardevoir and Gallade so I'm going with they have new crys.
I think there was an audio file for them somewhere in the ever-growing abyss that is this thread.
*All* the legends? Dialga and Palkia origin are expected (curious if they have any new abils), but I thought Heatran etc weren't in, and I'm very intrigued by the possibility of Legend Plate Arceus in a main series game.
