    Pokemon Pokopia

    I'm expecting Mosslax to wake up and immediately start shouting for NAAAAIIIIIIIILLLLLLL. Honestly I don't get the sense these are meant to be gameplay variants or anything. Snorlax literally is the same mon but with moss growing on it as a joke about how little it moves (something they kind of...

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A General Discussion

    Finished the main story last night. Definitely enjoyed the game, but feel the mid section could have been a bit better paced, between the massive rank jump (might have been better served by jumping 2-4 at a time on the early ones instead of going from like W -> F in one move) and the somewhat...

    Pokémon GO

    Remote Trades would be nice, I hope it's a "long term but can be repeated" thing just in case I roll yet more Lucky Friends with foreign players after it's implemented.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A Combat/PVP Discussion Thread

    Catching up on story after some downtime, I also dropped into PvP to grab the Mega Stones quickly since they're basically freebies, and my god, from a first impression I do NOT get what everyone was praising about this mode. Before I regarded the Mega Stone gating as a quick way to convince...

    Pokémon Day 7* Tera Raids (Paldea Starters and Pseudos)

    The main concern I think Umbreon would have is the Shield timing. Snarl is still important to balance Nasty Plot, regardless of negative stat stages, but for the Tera Blast reason, ATK debuffs are definitely worth fitting if you can. The reason I cite the Shield is because Umbreon CAN debuff...

    Pokémon Presents - Pokémon Day 2025 - Pokemon ZA Info & Pokemon Champions Announced

    Honestly might be a long shot. Baxcalibur's items do a lot of work in its most busted sets, so the Mega might be another option as opposed to a direct upgrade on anything.

    Just here to shill the Bewear Onsie item. This costume is the greatest thing they've ever put in the shop

    Ignoring resistances is kind of insane. You cite Psychic "only" benefits from not being resisted by itself and Steel, as if Steel isn't the most common defensive type in the game (good reason). Sigyliph and Braviary not using Tinted Lens is because their other abilities are legitimately more...

    Pokémon Day 7* Tera Raids (Paldea Starters and Pseudos)

    Future Proof by giving Soul Heart to someone else first if anyone eligible. Worst case scenario you faint once and give a buff before stealing Levitate

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Funny thing is Tyranitar's used for Colosseum's Final Boss where it's called the Ultimate Shadow Pokemon, which I find ironic given it's a normal one in every way possible (vs Shadow Lugia's unique purification method and Signature design) while multiple Admins had legendary Pokemon. Doubly...

    Pokémon Day 7* Tera Raids (Paldea Starters and Pseudos)

    And for the other three members of the team who have to do the damage for this obviously-labeled Support Tinkaton?

    Pokémon Day 7* Tera Raids (Paldea Starters and Pseudos)

    Does the first attack present any concern? Perhaps Air Balloon to make sure you don't take a stray Earth Power before stealing Levitate. Is boss AI based on what move does the most damage, or just on what is the strongest coming from them? Only other mild concern I'd have is if you neuter...

    I also like the um ackshually having to qualify "this is a rule except for this one example that can't even be shoved into the boxes like Zekrom" In terms of physiology, what is the justification for Zekrom not having Earthquake or High Horsepower with a Jet Turbine for a tail and weighing 345...

    Research Legends: Z-A Mechanics Research

    This might be a long shot coming from someone not brushed up on the inner naming conventions and data level info, so apologies if this was discussed in a prior page and ruled out. Is there any chance this value relates to the Mega Power dropped by Rogue Megas, like the pick ups rather than the...

    “That One Pokémon You Just Have Beef With”

    So my read on Roaring Moon was that in practice it's more of a Glider than a Flyer. It still needs its legs to run and kick off with momentum, as opposed to base Salamence having flappable wings that it can use to gain lift. This would also be my explanation for why Roaring Moon, despite having...

    Ironically it ends up being Gen 3's duo instead: Two Uber titans defined by their field effects putting them as arguably the top influences of their debut Gen (and likely high ranking in subsequent ones); one is probably stronger in the 1v1 but not necessarily in the wider Game context (Groudon...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Pulseman being a Tokusatsu/Rider inspired design doesn't really make this explanation cover anything since it's a the signature skill of a previous mascot who has no visible design reference to Pikachu, other than being the Mascot for Meta jokes. This would be akin to an Elephant Pokemon getting...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    The Physical Electric Move debacle comes up but I want to express another annoyance: Wild Charge is a very generic move, consists of basically just surrounding yourself with Electricity and slamming the whole body into the opponent with a shot of recoil... a Volt Tackle if you will. Why is this...

    My devil's advocate reply there would be that SM came after Platinum, so they had multiple generations of additional reference for designing boss difficulty, even without specifically iterating on Alola's choices of bosses. For a point of consideration, Aaron's team includes at least a few...
