Her theme is also amazing, being a remix of multiple other themes from other games. Something I am not sure I necessarily "dislike" but I noticed is that Tyranitar might be the only Psuedo-legendary that isn't featuredon any major trainer's team during the story mode of most Pokemon games. The...

I could have sworn this was mentioned in an earlier leak - that the new megas were created by some unnatural phenomenon. With the way it was leaked, I assumed it would have bigger plot relevance to the main game and not be relagated to some side DLC lol. Still it is cool lore still. I'm sure...

(Stolen from a Reddit Post)

I like that every Pokemon game has the "Hurry Along" theme. This is one of those more lowkey pieces compared to the Pokemon Center or Gym theme since it only plays at the beginning of the game usually. Still, its always nice to hear. I am assuming most others dont like this song because of how...

December 10th is a bit of a greedy date - feels like its a bit TOO soon. But tbh I am kinda happy with that. For me the main game is wrapping up so there isnt much else to do. Combined with the Diancie event and I think this will keep players hooked for a little longer which is fine. What's nice...

Previously, in the earlier gens, I would avoid using shitters like Emolga or Kricketune. I was more obsessed with stronger Pokemon like Chandelure, Aegislash, or Excadrill that were powerhouses in their final form. Nonetheless, now that I've mellowed out a bit, I think that finding ways to make...

You can Knock off the Helmet and pressure it over the game with Rocks Chip + perhaps leech seed. Ideally you need something to pressure it from using spikes like Talonflame or Starmie.

I really enjoyed using the Nasty Plot Tera Blast Ground set Storm Zone made for Ninetales-A. Freeze Dry + TB Ground is pretty scary even off of base 81 Special Attack and that set is good at luring a lot of its standard checks like Gholdengo,

Mega Meganium I think would be a lot better in a standard metagame like SV OU due to it hard walling most of the Pokemon its tasked with checking like Ogerpon-W, Dragapult, Great Tusk, Raging Bolt, etc (although no Pursuit for Gking will make pivoting into that mon a real pain in the ass to deal...

I feel this could have been fixed with better Terastalization usage from the various Paldea gym leaders. I think them using it on older Pokemon that have vague qualities that match their character is pretty cool - like Iono using Mismagius - and I think it works well enough for her battle and I...

Scarf Gardevoir is pretty solid in this metagame. Perhaps its due to ladder shenanigans, but I've found that it catches most of the Greninja, Krookidile, Garchomp etc. off guard with boosted Speed, Trace is really useful utility to have vs annoying sweepers like Dragonite. To top it all off, it...

I think the alternative Weepinbell evolution and Farfetch'd evolution being scrapped from Gold and Silver was a mistake. This largely centers around the story of the Gen II games, where these two Pokemon were involved in a few key points in the story, with the Sprout Tower sequence for...

I do agree a decent number of these breakers are pretty crazy, but most of the tools balance has are also very strong. Multiple solid Wishpassers between Clefable, Mega Audino, Vaporeon, and Umbreon, 4 crazy pivots in Clefable, Slowbro, Slowking, and Slowking-Galar, Pursuit (which lets you soft...

Hisuian Goodra being one of the best general mons in this format is a pleasant surprise. Mon checks a lot between Clefable, Greninja, Starmie (kinda) and more while being extremely annoying to switch into due to its wide coverage and Knock Off + Toxic. Most of the best special walls like Gking...

Gren (both forms) are kinda cancerous with all the mindless U-Turn / Flip Turn Spam shit. I think the struggle is partially my fault since I'm not good at setting up hazards in this metagame & I may not be running the right Helmet mons (I think Hisuian Goodra could be a decent Helmet user just...
