not really what I was referring to by "not allowed"
They could just have Wonder Guard not take Terastallization into account if they were really concerned about Tera Electric Air Balloon Shedinja.
The main difference between those 2 is that one has never been possible in a official format simply because it wouldn't let you (as in order to queue for a VGC format match, the pokemon had to be bred in that generation / have its moveset reset in gen 8 and forward), and the other simply hasn't been because Shedinja isn't in a game with Terastal in it. And the only way to obtain a No Guard Machamp with Fissure with the current gen mark is to hack it.
Considering they've been unconcerned by much worse things (including Urshifu breaking the entire Doubles system by just existing as well as matches being often decided on RNG whim), I think people give too much flak to a niche strategy that requires heavy commitment to just fold to relatively commonly run things.
I don't think intentional design choices are comparable to a random one off ability from several generations ago interacting with a mechanic likely never designed with it in mind. Like I already said, I don't think it'll be broken but something being strong or not isn't the only reason to change something mechanically. I think wonder guard shedinja is probably more on par with the trolling strategies they've removed directly or indirectly in the past than it would be something that's actually meta defining or powerful.
they should make you pay them like 20 dollars to use shedinja in champions
I won't deny I do find fun to do that any time it's possible.
for the record as the person they were "correcting", I didn't care or mind it, some people just talk like that
Glad to see that at least one person here is reasonable
And also no.
granted this is the identical mentality a lot of VGC players have, feels rather pointless for either side to be boxing with ghosts so frequently over their particular format and whether or not some random person is disrespecting it or not mentioning it at all times.
Nah, it's *one* of the niches, but Mold Breaker is also a very real ability (surprisingly, even in VGC where you get to ignore things like Ogerpon's Sturdy for example). It helps that Hawlucha has 2 100% accurate spammable 120 BP stabs too.
honestly the best part of modern pokemon is how many random signature moves they add. I hope all the megas or most of them randomly get a new one. flying press in particular is both cool and incredibly confusing how the type chart for it actually works.
that's fair, granted there's quite a few megas that are comparable so I think it would fit. I don't really think any of the other gmaxes would, I just really like the machamp one. maybe kingler's would also work, granted it being a huge crab is a lot of the appeal.
I mean I have no idea how itll work in legends ZA but Im presuming every single mega will still be functional in some form in champions. several of them will probably have new abilities that only exist outside of legends ZA.
If they make the small kangaskhan cub come out of the pouch and punch people to simulate the ability i'm buying the game twice just to praise the idea
Most of the people here are insufferable to me, expecially those who think that smogon is "The right way to play pokemon TM" and are not afraid to throw insults at GameFreaks, Nintendo or honestly anything that remotely doesn't do what they want, so I don't mind reciprocating the feeling
The most immediate revamp I can think of is to borrow one from certain RPGs (my immediate reference is Final Fantasy Record Keeper): Instead of mixing the elements (or types in this game's case), Multi-Element attacks will evaluate the enemy's resist profile and choose the better of the options (Weakness > Neutral > Resist > Immune) and then calculates a "Mono" element hit on the chosen one.
this isn't the win you think it is
It is for me, I think you do not understand how the internet works
when someone is an ass on the internet, they do it to piss off people and have fun at their reactions. The more you act annoyed at what I say, the more I enjoy it. Do I really have to teach you internet 101? The first thing you do when someone is annoying is ignore / mute them, not tell them back.Good thing they already actually have the code for something very similar in this case.
Gale Wings would honestly be... kinda awful? You have to take Brave Bird recoil which instantly invalidates it, and while yes Hawlucha does get Roost, doesn't look like the ideal user for it.
this is some 2nd grade I know you are but what am I arguement which is nuts coming from a ??? 38 year old.It is for me, I think you do not understand how the internet works
Now please drop this subject instead of giving me attention. Didn't you learn anything
