Alolan Level 28s are slightly different too, obviously. :P

So, if I'm understanding and calculating correctly: If you try to catch Pheromosa or Kartana in a non-Beast Ball, it is the equivalent of trying to catch Snorlax in a Pokeball. The other's meanwhile are 10x harder than that, about equivalent to catching Mewtwo in a Pokeball. So pretty tough...

Lance caught his Dragonites in Alola confirmed

Oh shit really? That's great I actually completely gave up on competitive breeding in XY because of a bad experience. After many excruciating hours of breeding and hatching I finally got the right combination of Abilities, IVs and Nature on a Pokemon, only to find that a crucial egg move was...

So it seems that Comatose is really is just sleep for all intents and purposes except that you can attack and won't wake up.

I thought this had already been tested but it's not in the OP. Hm. I think the move more for battle Royales. But there are some niche strategies that can be used eg Spotlight+King's/Spiky Shield, or two Pokemon with Spotlight/Protect could Stall.

I do hope they return, and I didn't even play Triples. Just for hordes if nothing else; Chaining seems like a decent but ultimately unworthy successor to me.

Weird question, but what do you guys think of Nature Power for Terrain Teams? Are there Pokemon who you think might enjoy coverage under terrain that they lack otherwise, or it it too situational?

It doesn't double with every call. It only doubles once. If you aren't using Power Items then each Magikarp is only worth 2 EVs.

Well shit, no wonder they axed Triples and the like. Kinda disappointing, but at least Pokemon isn't a game dependent on reflexes or timing. Still, can't wait for Pokemon Switch.

The similar sounding Secret Sword is Special, so it's an understandable mistake.

You'd be better off using Overheat in that case - same power, but with Overheat you can attack again if you need to. Using Burn Up means you have no choice but to either switch or flail in futility.

It was in the research thread. If you aren't Fire, the move fails, so it effectively can't be used twice. So your Specs set isn't a great idea. Edit: here http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sun-moon-battle-mechanics-research.3586701/page-12#post-7078730

Are you aware that Burn Up cant be used at all if you aren't Fire Type?
