Are Scyther and Riolu available before the Elite 4? They are super late in the pokedex and they are found at level 52+...but I planned to use them for my playthrough. Specific details would be dope.

I thought the Flygon line was exclusive to Sun...unless the internet lied to me.

Good point, but that player has less incentive to go Jolly and/or run speed IVs if using metal burst right? You have to be slower than the opponent for it to work.

Is there a consensus for the preferred nature on this thing. It's attack stat isn't overwhelming with Jolly so I'm thinking Adamant will be the staple. Also, has anyone come up with more interesting sets? I'm thinking a tank build might be prominent...it's a guaranteed OHKO on GeoXern before...

I'm assuming the player will at least be able to knock it out then return to capture it later.

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but is there a reasonable opportunity to save before capturing Tapu Koko?

I realize this may take time due to testing, but after the game is released; how soon will we see optimized sets for OU, Ubers, VGC, etc. I.e. how will we know what natures to get for one off mons? I think many competitive players will blow through their first playthrough, and it would be lame...

When you say effect, do you mean max out?

Have we figured out how much bottle caps effect IVs? It would be dope if I didn't have to SR 100 times for 6IV legends.

So Cosmog is going to evolve into Solgaleo without the player raising it?

Are we capturing Solgaleo/Lunala, or are they just joining our team?

This is true. I hope that the designers at gamefreak would realize that creating a pokemon with Moody as it's only ability would be a ridiculous idea. Still, I think this situation is a bit different. I think if there are real ways to solve the problem, aside from outright banning something...

I know what you mean, complex bans can get nasty; however I don't think that the clause "Rayquaza cannot M evolve while holding an item" is a bad way to solve the issue. Alternatively, "Rayquaza cannot have the move Dragon Ascent while holding an item" is could solve the problem. From a...

Hey, I've been a lurker on this site since the old school R/S meta. This is my first serious post on the site, and I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes. I've always appreciated Smogon's tiering system. It more or less allows for each pokemon in the game to be...

Major brag post incoming. I recently caught a Latios with 31/X/30/31/31/31 IVs and a Timid nature. I also just caught a Rayquaza with 31/31/31/X/29/31 IVs and a Jolly nature. I captured Rayquaza while I was away from a DS charger. When I captured it, my DS light went red. By the time I reached...

I caught this Latios in BW2, and I plan to transfer it over when Pokebank is released. Unfortunately, BW2 doesn't have the auto 3 max IV mechanic for legendaries, so it's way harder to get a good one. It's Special attack and Speed are maxed. Latios Nature: Timid IVs: 13/X/25/31/15/31...

Yo, I have a Timid Mewtwo 31/X/31/31/29/31. I honestly wanted a perfect one, but would this be acceptable for competitive purposes? Thanks.
