Pokémon Pokébank changes discussion thread

[Kappaten]

Can anyone test whether or not Move Tutor moves can be passed down through breeding? Or more specifically, if Gardevoir can pass down Hyper Voice?

The only ones I know of that work are Heat Wave Chandelure/Magcargo. It's an egg move for both but requires the tutor from last gen.

Has Parting Shot been passed to anything else? I guess the only new additions to the field and human-like egg groups are Meowth, Rattata, Stantler, Slakoth, Buneary, Glameow, Bouffalant, Tepig, Oshawott, Chimchar, Snivy, Piplup and Cyndaquil as far as I can tell (though I may have missed one); it shouldn't take terribly long for someone who has the bank to test if it has been passed to any of these if no one has tried so far. I guess for most of these it would be a bit of a long shot, but I could see something like Chimchar getting it.

Parting shot distribution is actually an even more important issue than that of spider web, so I think it should be at quite a high priority, are there any confirmation just yet?

I dunno if this has already been mentioned (There's a decent bit to go through) But Primeape gets Night Slash now, which is a nice replacement for the kinda gimmicky Punishment.

EDIT: Delibird has spikes next Forretress right here

Primeape already had Night Slash as an egg-move prior to Pokebank. However, Delibird once again being able to know Spikes is pretty interesting. Doubt it'll go up a tier because of it though.

I haven't heard about any new 'mons that have gained Parting Shot, and to be honest it's starting to look like this is a Pangoro exclusive. If anything else gets it, it won't be until move tutors return.

Destiny Bond seems like a nice if situational addition for Sharpedo considering how frail it is, though it will still have trouble with bulky priority users with set-up. It does require good prediction but combined with good coverage it's definitely something worth running.

i think knock off is going to be pretty prominent online come bank and... if people have caught wind of alexwolf's mawile set.... that too

 

[PrincessDerpy]

It's already prominent on mons that have business running it. Some of the suggestions I've seen running about have seemed like running it for its own sake, which isn't a healthy attitude really.

Could someone test if Freeze shock is dual typed now?
