Nah that set's not too bad. I mean it is, mainly because Aqua Ring is bad. But the idea behind it is fine, and if Aqua Ring wasn't shit it would be pretty strong. Of all the types to run mono-STAB, Water is one of the better ones.

...wait does it not have a dragon move? -rain dance -surf -thunder -muddy water bro what the fuck is this set

No I get that, I just don't understand why. Volcanos and deserts seem much more perilous than some snow. Granted I live in rural New York as opposed to Japan, so maybe the folks over there are just way more relaxed about mountains full of boiling flame.

The simple answer is that icy areas just inherently have late-game vibes, but that doesn't explain why Fire-types aren't similarly rare.

In hindsight, it would have been neat if Freezing Glare was the flinching one, while Fiery Wrath and Thunderous Kick lowered Attack and Speed, respectively. All three mimicing the effect of their original's status without actually inflicting said status.

What are your thoughts on Gen 3 Gatr having a fat ass

I'm honestly surprised hazards aren't more of a thing in doubles. Even without considering Focus Sash and Incineroar, getting chip damage on whatever Pokemon your opponent has in the back seems quite powerful. I've seen stuff like a single turn of poison chip from an Amoongus Sludge Bomb be...

The game does actually provide more in-depth descriptions of the donuts that give more insight into why they taste the way they do. The sweet donuts are made with supersweet meringue, sour with tart jam, bitter with bittersweet chocolate, and fresh with fresh cream. The only one that doesn't...

I saw a post noting that the ZA protagonist does not show a reflection in a mirror. This suggests that the reason the player is unable to enter most buildings is that the player character is a vampire.

I'm fully aware that the Battle Frontier didn't gate off other aspects of the post game and that you didn't *need* to engage with it. That wasn't the point I was making. The point I was making is that very often when people talk about gens 3 and 4 being the best generations, the Battle...

And yet it's always the Battle Frontier that gets highlighted when people talk about how much better the old games where. Surely people wouldn't gush endlessly about a feature they didn't actually fully engage with, right?

EV training for Emerald's Battle Frontier is so fucking boring dude. Especially if you're training something other than Speed, HP, or Special Attack. Honestly even Special Attack is pushing it.

Calyrex is maybe the worst example for being able to respec considering both its forms would like zero IVs in a stat that would ruin the other.
