Aegislash nerf? And just when people were discussing it the other day.

[Blitz]

Magic Powder - New Move

Soak but for Psychic instead.

 

[Elkos]

for your pursuit memes I guess

 

[DrPumpkinz]

Depending on its distribution, I can see Magic Powder being powerful when paired with Pursuit.

Sniped.

 

[Blitz]

Applin can be caught at Route 5. YES!

Applin only learns Withdraw and Astonish until it evolves via item, according to the leaker. RIP

[Ckarasu]

I'm glad Cursola got a recovery move. Kinda saves it for me. But just how effective is Strength Sap? I never ran any pokemon that used it, since its distribution was always not great. Anyone in here got any insights on that?

I've had quite a bit of fun with it on Jumpluff and Shiinotic. It's terrifying under the right circumstances.

It's pretty common in OMs like STABmons for low HP mons like Rotom and Ferrothorn. The recovery amount is generally pretty big, and the debuff is nice to win matchups.

Thanks to the both of you. Seems like Cursola sounds pretty decent as a dedicated special tank/nuke? Polteageist seems like stiff competition, though.

 

[Vengeance417]

tm44 imprison
tm86 phantom force
tr11 psychic
tr29 baton pass

>This thing can Smash Pass without being a Smeargle.
>Eeveelutions are confirmed to be in SwSh.
>So many Pokemon have Power Trip access.

I'm scared.

 

[Aura Flare Riolu]

Shell Smash and Baton Pass? Welp already banned.

 

[Tapu Koko Loko]

So Polteageist can Shell Smash, Store Power and Baton Pass

Is Musharna still available?

 

[Blitz]

No Shell Smash

Jaw Lock - New Move

Leaker is done for today, and he doesn't know if he'll be back as there's not much left to leak really. He says if he finds something interesting, he'll post about it.

Hope everyone enjoyed this!

 

[lace_flye]

I love that this tiny purple blob in a broken teapot might be the most powerful non-legendary pokemon introduced this gen

 

[ShiaHatoAttaku]

Our Lord and Saviour: The AllMighTEA.

 

[Colonial]

+2 252 SpA Mismagius Stored Power (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 352-416 (115.7 - 136.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+2 252 SpA Mismagius Hidden Power Fire vs. 252 HP / 232+ SpD Ferrothorn: 356-420 (101.1 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+2 252 SpA Mismagius Hidden Power Fire vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Bisharp: 360-424 (132.8 - 156.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+2 252 SpA Mismagius Stored Power (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 176 SpD Hippowdon: 330-389 (78.5 - 92.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Mismagius -> Polteageist.

The tea has bad phys def, but it's special is good enough it could set up on special attackers. Could be useful, but Sucker Punch and other priority will be common in the early meta, which will put a cap on it's sweeping potential. But that's what Baton Pass is for, hey?

 

[Ckarasu]

Eviolite Corsola might be pretty decent, assuming it has another ability you can give it. 65/95/95 bulk with eviolite is pretty good. It also has access to a recovery move. Might mess around with it.

 

[Vengeance417]

>Set up Shell Smash with Polteageist
>Dynamax then use Max-Stored Power
>Summons Psychic Terrain, giving priority-immunity
>Sweep unopposed

 

[Blazen]

I like that we got a pokemon based off mischief spirits, and the entirety of its moveset is built around trolling everyone.

That said, a low speed low defense knock off weak Pokemon isn't going to be relying on Shell Smash to suddenly be considered high tier. It may have a great movepool but its stats, ability, and typing are going to put Polteageist in a low spot.

 

[Elkos]

would it affect it the way you want though? Variable power moves aren't exactly affected by Z-moves that way are they?
