The streamer seems to be really focused on what I assume is, figuring out how to catch Brutal Moon.
So apparently it's not enough to churn out overpowered gimmicks every gen, but they also had to nerf every recovery move because it seems that the concept of a longer battle is anathema to Gamefreak. I have no doubt that they'll keep going with offensive powercreep as well; there's definitely going to be new Dracovishes and G-Darms in the mix.
Lmao do you genuinely believe that the x2 boost to ur attack isn't worth your team dying? Esp since nobody ever said u have to run 5 Pikachu's and do nothing for the entire battle. Lmao can u imagine this on HO? After u faced down and somehow survived all of ur foes, no doubt have your team being chipped down to hell, only to have to deal with damage like this.

Mind you, I have not edited any of Bisharp's stats, so this is regular Bisharp's Attack. Now look me in the eye and tell me that Shogun won't have a higher Attack stat than Bisharp, and you see why 20% or higher would be stupidity.
You give your mon to Goldfinger
Going to dispel some of my earlier speculation:
PP Ups have been found.
Giga Impact was found and works as it previously did.
Thank you!
I just wanted to verify since someone asked about Pursuit and it's indeed still axed (same for Hidden Power, Return and Frustration)
I figured. The name Arbolivia fits the olive tree way better than an I've dragon.
Yung Dramps
awesome gaming
Only one Ash Hat Pikachu. Not all of them, but not zero of them. Also no Ash-Gren.
I have no clue what to make of this.
Are there any higher resolution?
mostly, for some reason the Hero dolphin isnt here nor is 3-part dudunsparce
The way they have the image set up it can't show all the forms: you'll note it's only displaying Fire Arceus (I presume the first one internally) and so on
Honestly even if the meta will be interesting just based on returning mons, I think the nerfing to Stall through the recovery PP reduction actually concerns me a little. I straight up refused to play Gen 8 tiers before Dynamax got the boot.
I think Pokemon like Blissey and Toxapex will be good still, though much less reliable than they were before. IMO if they wanted to nerf say Toxapex for being too good defensively they should've pulled an Aegislash and bumped down its stats, not nerf Recover, but that's just me.
VGC to my knowledge was never stall-friendly to begin with so I think this nerf was done with singles formats instead like what's seen on Battle Spot/Stadium/whatever.

Stop.
Where are you getting the Huge Power boost from? We don't have a confirmed percentage yet.
Yeah, the Gholdengo that was used in Centro's example has very little investment into everything except SpA, has an Impish nature, and is level 11 so this is hard, but I did some VERY RUDIMENTARY napkin math and a low-end estimate puts its statline at 78/50/90/120/85/75, assuming every single one of its stats has perfect IVs. That HP could be 75 since that stat has ever so slightly more investment into it than the others, but mons have had weird numbers for their BSTs before. I don't think that's super far off from what someone else in this thread guessed when I was originally typing this.
Now, that's obviously inconclusive as fuck based on how low-level this thing is so its stat ranges could be vastly different, but it doesn't look bad (ESPECIALLY considering it inherits Aegislash's phenomenal typing).
This was based on the argument the previous user was saying, that if the ability offered 20% per head (which roughly translate to a Huge Power boost when five are dead) or more, it wouldn't be unproblematic. The calcs I posted were to argue otherwise.
with an arguably even better ability than aegislash
Watching the streamer gameplay seems like the Paradox mons (obviously) vary in rarity. Seems like from pretty common to quite a bit rarer:
Screaming Tail/P-Jigglypuff (constant encounters)
Brute Bonnet/P-Amoongus
Great Tusk/P-Donphan
Slither Wing/P-Volcarona (encounter a few)
Flutter Mane/P-Misdreavus (he only encountered 2 of these + the mandatory encounter; is described during the plot as being notably strong in a group composed of Great Tusk and Brute Bonnet)
presumably Sandy Shocks/P-Magneton (did not encounter any of these at all)
Roaring Moon/P-Salamence
so in Violet this should correspond to:
Iron Bundle/P-Delibird
Iron Hands/P-Hariyama
Iron Treads/P-Donphan
Iron Moth/P-Volcarona
Iron Jugulis/P-Hydreigon
Iron Thorns/P-Tyranitar
Iron Valiant/P-Gallade

They're doing calculations to show why 20%-per-fainted-ally is a bad idea (20%x5=100%=Huge Power)
I'm personally excited to use Gholdengo. Ghost/Steel is an incredible typing, it has a pretty cool ability, apparently has a pretty good signature move, and likely has a really good BST considering its place in the dex (after the pseudo and most of the paradoxes barring Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant). The absurdly goofy appearance is also a plus for me, although I can see how some might not like it. Scovillain and Gholdengo are becoming fast favorites of mine from this gen.
70 / 40 / 60 / 115 / 85 / 82
452 stat total makes sense, probably off a little bit though
Oh, believe me, I know.
Now how many EVs would a 60HP Pikachu need to live the hit?
You have no idea how long I've been wanting this for.
Also, aside from Gholdengo, are there any confirmed new names for the 'mons? I skipped over most of the previous posts because there were SO MANY OF THEM
