A simple Lucario/Rampardos deck should be able to handle Blissey. You'll get 21 cracks at it over the course of the event; one of them should go well enough to land the shutout.

While previous sets had normal packs and god packs (1/2000 chance), the new set will offer a third type of pack: 6-card packs, which occur 1/12 of the time. The 6th card in these packs is always a baby Pokemon, which despite being designated as 3-diamond (and 1-star) rarity, have no chance of...

One thing's for certain: If you get all the DLC packs, you have Pokemon Friends with benefits (or, if you prefer, Pokemon Friends EX).

There was also no field to configure a held item, and you have to expect those to be usable at some point (at least for Mega Stones, and if Z-Moves end up existing in the game they'll need it too). Even on Pokemon you import from Home, they won't be able to take items with them, so some way of...

"Behold, the ultimate counter to Espathra! I will spend all six of the allowed scripted actions on Clangorous Soul immediately, so that anyone using Opportunist will be bogged down by so many ability popups and text messages that the timer will run out before they get a single turn to use Stored...

NYPC events were only for physical cartridges back when they were current. Those Pokemon and their exclusive moves have no legal migration path to the VC versions of the games, and even if they did, Poke Transporter would reject them from entering Bank if they still had the event move. (This is...

Throwing in Cheek Pouch allows for a fun variation of this which has been around since XY: https://glitchcity.wiki/wiki/Unnerve_desync_glitch It might exist in BW too, but since Cheek Pouch didn't exist back then, the only vector you could use to set it up was the extremely low level + Oran...

:sv/falinks: I guessed that Falinks would work with extra damage from the double STAB after it gets tera, compared to other Body Press users like Orthworm and Corviknight who only get single STAB. Having Metagross go for the immediate, unremovable Hone Claws puts a snag in that, but it does work...

If Metagross doesn't bring Earthquake, then Skeledirge should be able to get in there and ignore any Meteor Mash boosts with Unaware. Even though Falinks is weak to Psychic moves, it can boost with Iron Defense to take a manageable amount of damage before the Body Presses start, depending on...

Using Rare Candies to completely replace stage 1s does come with a drawback though, namely that if your opponent hits on Rotom Fan or colorless Aerodactyl, you don't get the Rare Candy back and that Pokemon is stuck in basic form afterward. Those cards will serve as a check to Rare Candy...

Normally my go-to for critical-happy raids is Body Press Falinks, but Ghost is the one type where that doesn't work. Torkoal can at least weather the storm and hit with fire moves in most cases, but it hates this particular raid. Well then, what else do we have? :sv/crawdaunt: Crawdaunt @ Shell...

RBY Stadium does segregate items by the ID number of the player who deposited them, and only has room for 4 different players to have items deposited. Handing off drinks doesn't work there--you need Stadium 2, which offers a combined "Color Case" for all connected RBY games to use for item...

Once Quaquaval gets to +6 speed, you don't have to worry about it ever picking Aqua Step again, unless you get some teammates who use speed-drop moves to give it some headroom again. That leaves its other damage types more tolerable, even if it got a couple Moxie boosts along the way.

The verdict is in: if you Skill Swap an opponent Contrary, they will never again voluntarily pick a pure stat-boost move like Dragon Dance (as of the start of the first turn in which they know they have that ability), but for damaging moves with a 100% stat-boost side effect like Torch Song...

Skeledirge has Torch Song/Shadow Ball/Stomping Tantrum/Hyper Voice as its standard moveset, and Disarming Voice + Flame Charge as the opening salvo. Too bad we can't bring Air Balloon Exploud into the game (for the 75% of times that Flame Charge targets someone else).

Even my trusty sidekick gets through with little trouble. :sv/suicune: Suicune @ Covert Cloak Ability: Pressure Bold Nature Tera Type: Water EVs: 242 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD / 12 Spe - Ice Beam - Calm Mind - Rest - Scald Ice Beam instead of the usual Substitute to actually have hitting power, and...

Does a weather move on turn 252, or Perish Song on turn 253, also break with this?

The most likely candidates for "filler" raids after the starter rotation is finished may be species that are normally transfer-only, like Sneasler and base-form Ursaluna.

The more likely case here is that it has one or two Dragon Dances among the scripted moves, and relies on that with a varied coverage matrix. Having it in the main moves would lead to another boring raid with the same answers as Serperior and Incineroar that we've already been through.

Single battles Every team MUST contain a Revavroom Every team CAN ONLY use Pokemon that were used by one of the Team Star bosses. The added Pokemon on the rematch teams are included, but Penny's team is not--no Eevees for you. Giacomo: Pawniard, Cacturne, Honchkrow, Mabosstiff, Krookodile...
