    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    Being correct about Ogerpon-W remaining OU doesn't suddenly make the unban campaigns or desire to suspect Alomomola and Ting-Lu any less absurd. One relatively-green player making a fearful proposal doesn't have any effect on how agreeable your own controversial ones are. More than just...

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A General Discussion

    When I said continued presence, I was referring to the fact nothing's been done with it that doesn't feel like trying to redo the Lucario pattern (throw the SM anime appearance on the pile where it's just some dude's partner Pokemon), something there's already a precedent for trying at with...

    “That One Pokémon You Just Have Beef With”

    Reposting this rant I had about Zeraora in another thread, goes to the ZA General Discussion so potential spoiler warnings for that game if you follow it.

    Pokémon Legends: Z-A General Discussion

    Are we still trying to make Zeraora a thing? I have been ambivalent to this thing since Gen 7 and its continued presence as the equivalent of an Industry Plant has only embittered me to it more over time. I can't stand its design, its stat line is both boring and ineffective (wow, a glassy...

    The existence of Gigantamax for NFE Pokemon (both at the time and retroactive in Duraludon's case) already kind of sets a fine enough precedent for "new evolution, it just doesn't use the mechanic" Technically the Megas would still be "stronger" Super Modes if that's a concern, unless the one...

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

    Sap Sipper is indeed immune to Worry Seed (at least without shenanigans like Mold Breaker or something). So I believe that leaves Skill Swap and Gastro Acid as the more common ways to remove Sap Sipper if that is the chosen ability. I'm anticipating a Physical move somewhere simply because...

    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...

    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...

    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...
