You're fucking joking right?
Centro i know you've been jacking off at the reactions in this thread... please tell me you're joking?!?
Glad to see that everyone is enjoying the dlc
that seems to be a running theme: earlier when I saw people about to lose the campion, gmax charizard started sandbagging all of a sudden. pretty sure they dont want the kiddies to get disheartened and slapped down by some of these challenges.
I haven't seen anything about finding Genesect, only Keldeo and Victini.
He's not joking: I just watched Shofu's stream and he got a shiny Latios while eveyone else got a normal one.
Has anyone tried out the galar star tournament? Any unique team comps for me to record? Any trainers besides the SWSH staples?
Hmm... move pool looks different this gen though? Missing Explosion. So I'm assuming it can be caught otherwise wouldn't it have the same move pool?
Why not remove Giratina-Origin then?
No idea. Doesn't Giratina-O turn to that form through an item though?
Since alot seem to be unfamiliar with pokemon go thats how it works there at the moment
Im every raid the legendary doesnt look shiny by default and after beating the raid each person individually gets a chance to encounter a shiny or not, meaning that if one person gets a shiny the others most probably dont
More go mechanics... yay?
Something about this makes me want to mash my keyboard like I'm having a seizure. I think it has do with using the wrong Pokeball for a Shiny and not knowing until it's the wrong one until it's too late.
Interesting... The IVs and Nature are probably decided after you catch it and differently for each player.
Tell that to Shiny Hunters.
Giratina-O isn't a "super" form. It's the same BST and a different ability, like Genies' Theran Forms
Unsure of the source for this (it's pinned in the Smogon discord), but we have confirmation in-game that the power for Astral Barrage is correct, so this is probably correct.
The last 4 columns are Category (1 = Physical, 2 = Special), Power, Accuracy, PP
These are all solid moves, but 130 power physical Ice move and 120 power special Ghost move with no negative drawbacks. Absolutely nuts.
anecdotal: i was fighting fire!rival 2 in hgss with last mon beedrill and it just didnt use ember
idk if theres something in ai but it has been there for a while
all three were tied mega evo or z-crystals which were removed; gira-o is like other standard form changes like zac-c in that it requires an item
So I love how they low key explain why Calyrex is so damn weak.
wow so I guess no one's ever gonna use eerie spell
It still is. And, good thing, you can choose not to keep the pokemon and you'll be given the option to specifically hunt it down later. Just gotta talk to the scientist lady. So no, it's not a big deal.
Oof, Thunder Cage isn't worth the slot. Thunder/Thunderbolt/Wild Charge seem to be just better.
It annoying to not know immediately so you can just reset and have to go through the battle with it. If you're using a rare ball, you'll reset anyway.
It seems the birds have predetermined stats when the cutscene plays. I soft reset 3 times for Articuno an got an IV spread of ATK, DEF, and HP. The rest of the stats said decent. Just my luck.

I got Quiet Zapdos without have any max IVs in Attack or Speed. Thank God for the easy grind.
Is Thunder Cage the highest BP trapping move? 80 BP seems really high, it’s a shame it’s so frail otherwise it would be a good trapper.
Glacial Lance and Astral Barrage are insane but they’ll be used in a tier full of Pressure mons so they might not even be used that often.
Eerie spell would be much better with a higher PP. I think it’ll be better on stall rather than as a stall breaker.
The bird moves are ok I guess? Zap-G is gonna run close combat but the other two might see some use.
Resetting puts you way back at the start of the raid, so you'd have to go and fight everything all over again regardless.
