Oddly enough, I've found that Rage Fist is extremely disappointing (probably for the best). It's charging time increase with the damage it deals, so when it becomes powerful, it also becomes really slow. Wether I play with it or against it, most of the time, the target would simply walk away...

I'm spending so much time trying to make my favourite work and getting let down by the movement speed, and you're telling me that some pile of sand can trot to safety?

Alpha. Dealing KOs is more important than survival in this game mode. I can't think of any physical attacker that wouldn't want to be alpha, as most physical moves scale on your size.

Hit rank A, this season starts fun, I love most new Pokémon! I climbed with a team named "Let's pretend people don't have access to Baxcalibur yet". Rotom-Cut@Magnet Modest HP/SpA sized XS Nasty Plot, Charge, Thunderbolt, Leaf Storm The new Charge guy, Thunderbolt double-boosted deletes...

That's basically it. The Speed stat only apply to the cooldown of moves. If your Pokémon has 25 or less, it will use the default cooldown (10s for Stone Edge, 7 for Brick Break and Ice Punch). Then every point in speed (so every 8 EVs at level 50) reduces that cooldown, you gain 1/30 second...

I tried Substitute Zygarde to activate the mega more easily... And it didn't really work. Because Substitute doesn't remove 25% of your life, it was around 15%. Using Substitute 4 times is not viable. Too long, for not enough. The only times I pulled an effective Mega activation was when I...

If you really want, you can start over on another profile until you get Galarian Slowpoke, then message me on Discord and I'll trade it from the new game to your main one

Yeah but that's a mega vs non-mega comparison which is a bit unfair by nature. Oh, I didn't specify I run two megas, that might be the reason. Also in most cases, Metagross comes before Skarmory (trying to defeat Xerneas). So Metagross is weakened, Skarmory is not.

I haven't seen a single Yveltal. Everyone playing Xerneas is too hostile for the bird. I'm playing it myself, a greedy version of Geomancy + double fairy moves, Fairy Feather, and Thunderbolt. The speed boost is really good to avoid hits and to hunt any weakened foe. Double fairy is expected to...

More than the amount of available Pokémon, I'm a bit bothered by the variety. Did we really need Roserade to take three spots when we already have six Grass/Poison? Ariados when we have Beedrill and Scolipede? Garbodor and Arbok when the Pokédex feels like it has already as many poison options...

I tried this in Online Battle with four moves, and three of them were in the 70% range as well. The final one was a bit off (dealt three more HP than it should have with the 30% nerf) so I cannot really use the numbers as a proof. It was outside of the regular SV range as well (and it was a...

I didn't want to try to force the 70% into my results. It sounded more fair to calculate the difference then conclude the magical number is 70, rather than calculate the 70 then conclude my data works. Also the way I did it allowed me to fork the nerf, the magic value needs to be less than...

I want to tackle the damage formula. So I'm spending some time in Area 20, hitting once then catching the Pokémon, and let's compare to the damage calculator (Extreme Speed was correctly nerfed to 65 BP in the calculations) Part 1 - Level 100: 252 Atk Lucario vs. Lvl 53 0 HP / 0 Def 4 IVs...

Most likely no. Stuff like levitate Eelektross is way more defining, easy to implement, but was not. Gholdengo does not need Good as Gold to be Gholdengo.
