Lilligant is also a stone evo so uhhhhh :wo:

The real question is why Moonblast got to keep the 95 BP when the other classic 95 BP special moves (Flamethrower, Surf, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt) all got nerfed to 90 in the same Gen. The 30% effect chance is also a little suspicious, though it's not a status effect. (Sludge Wave is fine to...

I like Hisuian Decidueye more than Alolan and I know that's an uncommon take. I like regular Decidueye, for the record. I just like Hisuian's vibe better.

Milotic only edges out Gogoat's BST by 9 points (and Avalugg by 26), that's a fairly small gap all things considered. Definitely harder to obtain though.

Lillie has: Regular, with Clefairy Lodge, with Comfey Anniversary, with Lunala Tea Party Costume, with Poltergeist New Years, with Ribombee Anniversary 2, with Solgaleo Holiday, with shiny Primarina She's fine. Anyway, your thoughts about Carmine getting Pecharunt are kind of how I feel about...

I actually really love when base stats are completely incongruous with learnable moves. Poliwhirl being able to learn Earthquake is a similar one. One of my favorite instances is Nihilego's final level up move (at least, I believe it was in Gen 7) being Head Smash. If Nihilego was a physical...

Milotic is definitely a scary Poke in-game, especially for notably suboptimal teams. High Special bulk, reasonable Special Attack/Speed, can't just status it (because that boosts its Defense), recover. As the general power level has increased it's become more manageable, but still a bit of an...

I understand most of Geeta's team being derided for being mediocre, but I also think her team as a whole isn't that bad. It's just that everything aside from Kingambit/Glimmora just has rather middling stats (or, at worst, will fold to any moderately powerful super effective special attack, in...

I agree that Kingambit is fine earlier on in her team lineup but Glimmora is kind of built to be something that disrupts team composition from the start. I love the 'mon, and I think it's cool that it's Geeta's ace, but forcing her to send it out last just because of Tera is genuinely a...

I'd argue there's a small compromise for BW in the form of the Dream World, given that it was the first game to introduce Hidden Abilities but with next to no evidence of this in the main game aside from the Route 4/Desert Resort Darmanitan, if I'm remembering right. I guess the lack of Hidden...

? Okay, I'll bite. I think the change to a DLC model makes a lot more sense than releasing a "third version" with new content, with how much "content" was actually added with Crystal/Emerald/Platinum. § I don't like everything about the DLC model. I actually disagree with $PAID$ DLC/content...

I actually think that's a good way of looking at it, having a place for an encounter makes them more memorable. Volcanion was actually the one I was thinking of as an outlier; I fully agree with the ways Marshadow and Zeraora would evade people. You're probably right about the steam cloaking...

I don't really even care if they have developed lore, just that they can be directly connected to the world in some way. Deoxys is weak in that regard (so both of Gen 3's mythicals fail that test), but having a location to tie it to still makes it feel like they cared a little more, at least to...

Pecharunt is probably the most fleshed-out mythical but Gen 6-8 was a bit of a lull in GF connecting mythicals to the rest of the world. Mew's location isn't well-defined (Gen 3 Old Sea Map notwithstanding) but it's the genetic basis for Mewtwo, and is said to have some sort of connection to...

Whenever I see comments about DPPt's team composition I'm always reminded that I feel that my Diamond team was weird, for both the average player and for me. I only used five main Pokémon (Torterra, Golduck, Bronzong, Crobat, Machamp), and none of them are particularly strong favorites (I did...
