You forgot a few more: Final Gambit Shedinja, Ring Target, female Mr. Mimes, Limber Stunfisk, Ampharos not getting Tail Glow when its tail glows so bright it can run a freaking lighthouse, Empoleon and Blaziken not getting Roost, to name a few.
They'd have to be capable of flight to be able to roost ;)

I'm very excited for Drill run Escavalier. I'm big on trick room doubles, and I think our knight snail will be a key player
 
Side note: Blaziken with roost would up the brokenness significantly.
I think the legends weren't retyped to keep the mysticism of the Psychic type flavor alive. Mystical awe-inspiring Pokemon have been Psychics for 5 gens before Fairies, and I think in the future Fairies will take that domain, but its nice that the past mystical Psychics stayed as is. Also I think GF wanted to keep dragons relatively strong, which throwing Fairies everywhere would ruin forever

Say that to Dunsparce and Dodrio (and all the other mons that have no wings and can still use it).
 
Cresselia not being a Fairy still is the stupidest shit ever made by Game Freak (after PokéBank and Acid Rain).
No, you forgot some things.
Rotom-Fan being double-immune to ground attacks, Magne-line not getting Levitate, Delibird having two abilities: Insomnia and Vital Spirit, and, most notably, Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit not being Fairy types when they are fairies lol

Gamefreak you should immediately patch you Gen 6 games there seems to be mistakes the community caught....or just send them all a $1.


But really the Wall of wall, Cress not a fairy? Next they are gonna make the shells on Slowbro and Slowking another evolution for Shellder using Shed Shell....
 
Something else just came to mind: Somebody find a non-Kalos native Pokemon that can Mega Evolve. I've heard rumors that only Kalos natives can Mega Evolve. If it's true, there are some move legality issues with pre-Gen 6 tutor moves on Mega sets. I know it might be hard to find one right now, but if anyone comes across one, please confirm whether or not this is true.
Blakziken is non native, and as of now, neither are Lati@s, and all are confirmed to mega-evolve.
 
Oh, OP, you might want to add that Non-Kalos mons can Mega Evolve.

I know I already said it, but it was way early in the thread and it might get missed by new readers.
 
Sucker Punch Emboar could have some interesting implications - I ran a Flame Charge Emboar last generation out of boredom and it just wasn't fast enough, but now that issue is partly solved, and it can even hit Lati@s and Starmie now! Toxic Spikes Cofagrigus and Weezing are weird though.
Oh man guys please someone make my day.

Does meloetta get Boomburst
Exploud's Boomburst hits harder than Landorus-T's Earthquake and you want to give Meloetta (who has 37 more base SpA) the move?
sorry OU mods and Stellar
not sorry Treecko
 
Snivy does not get Boomburst.

At this rate, if it gets Contrary this gen (which it goddamn should) the only Special attacks it'll be able to use are Leaf Storm and Hidden Power. What the hell, GF.

Anyone else want to suggest something? I'm at a loss.

How about Cross Poison? Parasect gets it and is in the same group as Serperior, so it may pass it down. Kinda out of ideas here.

Maybe try Sucker Punch? I'll give you a Male Tepig with it for you to test if you want. It makes sense it would get it to me.

If it got Superpower, a physical set might be... Usable, I guess. Like Malamar, but with actual speed.
 
Not sure if anyone has researched this, but can pokemon with defog be transfered to xy or do they get blocked? Some of the stronger defogers only get it from gen4 and if it's inaccessible, we're left with just crobat and mandibuzz.

Cross Poison, even if it did get it, would be pretty useless. I'll test later if I get any motivation to.

Bred with a Slack Off/Sucker Punch/Superpower/Venom Drench Smeargle.

None passed.

If it gets Contrary this gen it will likely be when we get move tutors.
 
anything new got stealth rock as an egg move?
if i recall there's only 5 viable pokes with stealth rock right now,
unless it learned from the BW2 tutor
 
Now that Cofagrigus gets Toxic Spikes, it is now possible to make a mono-Ghost team with Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Stealth Rock. Let that sink in for a moment.

in my reality defog doesn't exist
Dusclops also gets Haze now so it can join Cofagrigus in the no setup sweepers ever tier.
 
Aegislash not getting Phantom Force is bothersome to me. Granted, it could only have gotten it if Cofagrius had also gotten it so it could pass the move down via egg, but it feels like a huge missed opportunity regardless. Speaking of, TSpikes on Mummymon is pretty sweet but I always found it best spreading burn and using its ability to deprive sweepers of their Guts. Still, any excuse to use Mummymon is great by me!

And a quick thing about Serperior: That guy might not have much of a movepool in this metagame, but the Serperior-lovers can rejoice at the fact that Inverse exists. Grass is such an awesome offensive type there that Contrary Leaf Storms are all you really need.
