I would add one detail about Mega Dragonite (and other new megas or forms or even pokemon for what matters). It's likely that similarly to L.A., they will still have abilities in the game files, just not active. However, i wouldn't actually consider what they get at all. As we saw in L.A., the...

It's a 5* raid. 5* raids don't have the AI of 7*, they just spam whatever moves (plus are level 75 and not 100) (Honestly actual 7* Chien Pao and Chi You would have probably been terrifying)

I give it to them, this one is absolutely rude LOL "So you thought you could just irondefense bullshit your way through? HAH"

Well what I meant is, say you have "Gardevoir" in Home. Gardevoir will show up in Champions with the stats it has, but after that you'll be free to customize it with whatever. Notably, held items, something you can't otherwise have in Home. This customization however "stays" in Champions, the...

Honestly you dont even need this mental gymnastic. Nerfed dark void with gravity is basically slightly more accurate old dark void. And we know how "fun" that was back in gen 6. I agree now that the reason they double nerfed it was likely cause they were planning to do more of those...

I am not sure if I love or hate this

If you didn't notice from the trailer, Champions has their own "ingame pkhex" as the leaks said. The pokemon inside the game are "blank slates", you can pick whatever setup for them you want on the fly before using them. Thsi is my personal speculation, but I believe the intent is that you...

So do I, but there's little point in theorymonning when we know nothing of the game other than "the presence of multiple mechanics at same time". May as well theorymon gen 10 games at this point. I definitely enjoyed theorymonning how interesting Tapus interaction would have been with Paradox...

I think your speculation is flawed at start, because we don't know how Champions will work. Most importantly, we don't know the interaction between mechanics. Will Z-moves/Tera/Dynamax be there? Will they be able to be used at same time or even combined with mega evolution? What about the...

Also honestly with how bad the nintendo internet tends to be and the Pokemon games one being EVEN WORSE, I dread the idea of a "online pvp" where you have to actually maneuver around the battlefield.

I'm going to pull an AKSHUALLY, but Roost was actually removed from learnsets in generation 8. People on smogon never noticed because they play with transfers allowed, something that isn't reflected in the official formats which havent allowed transfers since gen 5, but Defog, Toxic, Knock Off...

ORRRR you may be overestimating how big of a difference the combat is. They may very well know it's nothing impressive, just slightly fancier version than regular combat, so they rather hype the thing they know will sell, the new mega.

Fwiw both Multiscale and Inner Focus are viable in VGC at this time. One lets you set up in front of anything at the cost of the itemslot to run Clear Amulet or be neutered by Intimidate, the other makes Dragonite a bit more of a tera hog but enables it to completely ignore both Intimidate and...

I was on similar line of thought. Both Dragonite abilities to me look like they can easily work similarly to Scrappy for mega kangaskhan or intimidate for mega mawile/salemence/gyarados. You get their use off, then can easily swap out of them since they served their purpose. Losing multiscale...

I am unsure. I do not dig the idea that Champions will have all mechanics at same time. If Natdex taught is anything is that it's a recipe for disaster I would love watching the mess of such VGC, though.
