I think he was referring to Sleep Talk calling Rest and thus wasting the turn (on top of the RNG of the other moves it picks from benefitting you at the moment) when he cited RNG, given the 1-in-3 odds, as the simple wake-up odds are a consistent hurdle to deal with in their own right. I feel...

If you're going online, bring a way to debuff Special Attack, because I swear all these players are awful bringing nothing to remove it and keeling over as soon as the Nasty Plot hits

It is, Stall is just not the most common playstyle on the latter for reasons of both practice and match-time (compared to tournaments where you only need to win a handful of matches against people at a higher skill ceiling and thus value consistency even if individual battles are longer). It...

Are you talking in terms of flavor or playstyle? Because I agree on the latter that Umbreon is an odd-exclusion (high defense, low HP support tank), but Jolteon I could follow since the Fast-Attacker archetype in Pokemon typically isn't bulky enough to take a shot and survive to do that kind of...

At the same time, as weird as this is to suggest, I kind of wish the Kyurem fusions had more moves that base Kyurem lacked (akin to the Deoxys learnsets but dropped ala how Home Transfer works between gens). I actually liked Kyurem and Kyurem-B's ranking in past gens in a way because their kits...

The Bitter Malice one is especially bizarre to me because Frostbite being a Special-Burn I figured would at least translate to affecting the same stat, but instead it lowers Physical Attack instead. Would a Hex-type have been too powerful with or without the stat drop (130 vs 150 BP for a status...

In addition to this, Kyurem's ability to pressure the team styles Gliscor found itself best at indirectly weakened it because unlike, say, Weavile or Axel Meowscarada, you didn't have nearly as many safe-switch options into Kyurem if it got in front of Gliscor, so whether it was Gliscor or a...

On the Signature move debate, my hang up is when the approach is done as a band-aid fix to the game's gaps, or even done with no clear thought behind how it functions when put into practice (whether good or bad). Most immediate example on the latter front: Mountain Gale's flinch chance seems...

In defense of Treads, Steel Roller is only its signature move because Gen 9 pared its availability down (becoming the only Level-up learner and no Tutor/TM returning). The Loyal Three I get because they share an ability that is unique to the trio (not even used by their Trio Master...

Looking for Go copies specifically or the event versions just because they're tradeable now? Also going for Living dex or just records? I have quite a few Shiny Zacian from hunting, might mirror swap and send a reject to Home at some point.

Taunt to minimize exploitation by Walls and Sucker Punch for a less/differently exploited Priority STAB are the main things that pop out, plus STAB Knock Off means it could threaten some damage beyond just item removal?

The Tapu Bulu thing moreso highlights for me the annoyance that Physical Fairy is still so limited for options because of Play Rough's flavor (ignoring momentarily the mention that it DOES fit Bulu's flavor). Like, Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam can be generic enough "emit energy/light" attacks to...

Tidy Up's still appreciated because 75% HP Kyurem behind a Sub actually will survive the 7 hits of Population Bomb that hit it (it takes 3 hits at +0 to break a 101 HP Sub), whether removing the Sub or just for hitting hard enough

I've noticed a lot of App crashes myself of late on like a 6S (so not too old but not "cutting edge" by any means). As a pre-caution I always force close and restart the app before I try something I don't want interrupted like a PvP set or a Raid, because I'm becoming convinced it a memory or...

I feel like this is exaggerating because I don't think we've even done multiple bans in one since DLC1 (several of which were rebanning prior Ubers or expected problems like Regieleki), and with few exceptions (to not speak in absolutes, though I can only think of Flutter and Bundle which lol)...

Yes. Generally events, raids, shinies etc. will be based on where the Gym is hosted. If there's no caveat like a ticket (for the Go Tours/Fests for example), you effectively are "going there" for the raid and it'll just behave as matches that time zone.

So what you're saying is, if Kyurem is banned, Gliscor will be demonstrably Banworthy? I'm convinced. Ban has my vote.

The true softlock is to always match their RPS so that the effect never resolves and they get bored enough to leave. You've heard of Funbro, here's RockMime.

This does sound similar to the description I remember hearing for the Yokai comparison, though it had been along time and I didn't remember the name used. Might be the one to look into. So here's my hang up with the Unova comparison: because the Mega entries are confined to flavor text, they go...

To be fair, unlike Jynx which was "only" a controversy in one part of the world because of an unfortunate coincidence: my understanding is Jynx is based on a Yokai, and its design was essentially a floating face on empty space, rather than a pure black head (for comparison, look at something...
