Damn, so the mice are actually decent? Shame their visual design is hot garbage lmao.

Hey question to those looking through the shops: you can also buy stuff with LP right? What's the price comparisons on that? Like a lot of the battle items are 20k, so what's the LP price?

 

[Bakugames]

Kinda hope they keep the 10 hits and just lower the bp to 15 or something in future gens. i think the 10 hits is very funny

lower the power to 5, guaranteed 10 hits and now the gimmick of the line is fishing 10 times for crits and flinches

Beautiful, lets hope it stays that way ;>

Even if it doesn't Maushold still has a lot of potential as a vgc mon.

Friend guard and cheek pouches are excellent vgc abilities

Notable moves: Follow me (only owned by two other mons of similar bulk), taunt, thunder wave, helping hand, after you (currently the fastest user of it outside of the chlorophyl tech liligant), charm, u-turn, switcheroo, encore, super fang, chilling water.

Might be a niche pick for vgc but they have a lot of value for doubles and I am really intrigued to see what people do with them in that format.

Something I've been meaning to ask. Is chilling water a spread move?

I like the way they look. they're very very tiny so I their weirdly low polygon appearance and lack of details makes more sense in-game.

 

[Eriorguez]

Well if it helps you any, it looks like that Quagsire is 1:1 match up with BDSP

So at the very least we'll probably have like 3/4ths of the dex in this style by the time DLC is done!

Still, better than what Let's Go and SwSh were going with, with only certain fully evolved species having the new minis, to the point it looked like a half-ass even in-game.

Someone mentioned that Golduck got Power Gem, which is surprising. GF generally leave him alone cuz he's perfect
Any other buffs to him?

Nasty Plot, IIRC

 

[The N@me User]

It's supposed to hit between 1 to 10 times. But it's bugged and always hit 10 times.

Let's hope it stays bugged

By the way I wanted to confirm you can get HAs from raid

Also forget what i said 5 star raids don't fuck around, we couldnt beat it with NPCs despite using Flutter Mane so just resorted to check its ability with Gardevoir

 

[json98]

Anyone know the base shiny odds for wild Pokemon yet?

That's going to be a biggie. Now the question is *which* Pokemon can be found in these Raids. Will also likely be an avenue for Pokemon that don't have access to HAs, too. Question: do the starters have Raids?

 

[carlucio7]

I just noticed Maushold has friend guard and much better stats than clefairy. It will 100% have a presence in doubles.

 

[Rarycaris]

What are the conditions for failing a raid? I remember SwSh's raids feeling mostly like fake difficulty because the main loss condition was 4 mons fainting and the raid boss would just noob farm the NPCs.

As of now this kinda looks different from how it worked in SwSh, as there's no "dens" they just spawn around in probably predetermined but otherwise random locations.

That said i'm like 100% sure there's no starter raids and these will be distributed via events / event raids as per usual.

Except the part Clefairy could use Eviolite to actually tank hits, while the mice are made of basically paper.

You're on a literal timer, every time someone dies the timer goes down a bit + that person is also dead for 5 seconds.

Did Dragonite get a slightly updated flying animation? Or was this screenshot caught in the middle of it using an attack?

That was just as we loaded in the battle, though i'm unsure if you could say the flying animation got updated, looked similar to the old one to me.

 

[Volt-Ikazuchi]

I ALMOST forgot the most important question.

Do affection/Amie bonuses exist? If they do, can you buy sandwiches and not have them affect them? The encounter powers are kinda nice to have.

I think maushold speed will make it a decent user of moves like encore, taunt, fake tears, charm.

I'm afraid they definitely exist, our Fletchinder definitely facetanked a hit and survived with 1 hp saying the usual "survived to look good" message.

Got to be kidding.
They give duck that and not Aurorus!
I started secondary school and now leaving university and Aurorus still doesn't get a decent special rock move

 

[R_N]

It'll be interesting to see what all affects affection this go around, it was interesting how that one streamer who basically jsut f ocused on Quaxly the entire game only had affection crop up in the final battle

 

[Pushinguplilacs]

Got bored and did some calcs that I find really funny.

So baxcalibur as either a dragon dancer or scarf user seems pretty likely. Do you know what can counter him? Tinkaton.

252 Atk Baxcalibur Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 84+ Def Tinkaton: 240-284 (64.1 - 75.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

174 Atk Tinkaton Megaton Hammer vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Baxcalibur: 356-422 (95.9 - 113.7%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

Bax with +1 earthquake has a 81.3% chance to one shot tinkaton but the fact tinkaton can go toe to toe with this monster is funny.

Ryozo from Capcom (Monster Hunter developer) coming through. Also a hammer main.
