Well, I know I had talked to Stellar about helping to keep the thread on topic and, if people got off topic, redirecting them to the chatroom to discuss about any outside things without clogging the thread.
Eh, Pokemon with 680 BST (he's talking about Z legendary) will always considered auto-uber though, unless they have silly ability or ridiculously shallow movepool. Besides, Poison is actually a good defensive typing in OU, not counting the rumour of Fairy being weak to the type.
Seems viable to me if a Pokemon with Harvest gets the move. Maybe a new Grass/Poison poke?
I'm kinda hoping it works more like Unburden does. As in, you can use it as many times as you want as long as you've already eaten a berry. It'd certainly be a nice, spammable attack that pairs nicely with Sub+Pinch berries. Except for the whole Poison type part. Poison isn't really an attacking type. Though that was said about Bug and Fighting back in the day. I can dream, at least.
Black Kyurem says Hi. lol
But yea, his Physical movepool is pretty terrible imo. So he's an exception.
kyurem doesn't even get ice punch
screams
i think that even if it got ice punch it'd be at least top-tier ou
goddammit gamefreak
buuuuuuuut yeah it'd probably be uber-worthy. there are a few poison types in ou, so it's totally possible that it could be uber with the right stats - especially since there're very few pokes that can absorb toxic spikes (except lolpoisonarceus) so it could have a good niche. bonus if its secondary type is something cool like dragon.

Getting Shedinja requires an empty slot in your party and iirc an extra Pokeball in your inventory, on top of Nincada being level 20 or above.
Kyurem-B also has a terribad physical movepool. Kyurem-W's movepool is much more respectable and it's Uber, so high stats can make up for a bad typing. And honestly, Poison typing is probably less of a turn off than Ice is. Ice is good offensively and terrible defensively, not to metion its SR weakness. Poison is terrible offensively, but pretty decent on defense. And it isn't like a defensive mon is likely to use a Poison move that's not Toxic anyway.
So tl;dr Poison Ubers pls, GF.
At this point, if someone bought information from a smogon user who is not a mod, that person would have to be really stupid.
I was just trying to make what he was saying clearer, not saying I agree. But true, there are some very strange evolution methods already. It definitely would not be the weirdest thing.
No offense to anyone, but have you SEEN some of the people here?
I read nearly every page of the last thread and this thread; it just leads to problems. Don't expect others to be smart if your intellect can keep the stupidity of others from happening at all. It's just better not to cause a potential issue in the first place.
gamefreak are all about breaking down old traditions as of late, though. "it hasn't been done before," isn't really an excuse anymore, especially since they're trying to shake things up and keep it all fresh. personally, i think a gyroscope evo would be so goofy, it's just a gamefreak thing to do. not that i necessarily believe the "leaks," but they're not out of the question just for being weird.
I wonder how far they will shake things up. If they create a jynx evolution I think anything can happen.
I definitely don't think a gyro scope evo is out of the question. And to all of you saying that how exactly the anime would do it, don't. I've uncommonly seen the anime follow the games' mechanics for ANYTHING. First example that comes to mind is Eevee getting hit by Shadow Ball. Others include, Slowpoke into Slowking without trading. PLENTY of pokes evolving through sheer friendship alone when it normally takes a level up. And OF COURSE, lol t-bolt on Onix and Rhydon. Seriously guys, they could just make it evolve by hanging off of a tree.
A Q&A session? Can people just ask pretty much whenever? If so, I guess we'll probably learn Sylveons type then.Serebii said:
People can ask anything, but it's up to Masuda and Ishihara to answer them. More importantly, I wonder what we'll be getting from that presentation. It's a 90-minute event after all, at least half an hour might be for new info.
It's funnier cause I watched the 1st season of Hetalia. But, yea, I completely agree. They'll probably just show a brand new trailer by the end and reveal "sprinkles" of information here and there.
I think that's quite likely (or IS already true); it can especially be seen with Route 3... you can even notice the wall around the town, slightly lower in height than the buildings, if you look close enough!just gonna leave this here
What do you guys think?
hopefully they ask questions that need answers so we can have closure
like Sylveon's type, Xerneas's type, Yveltal's type, final evolutions, riding Pokemon...the list goes on to infinity. Any closure would be good.
