If the majority of Ghost type pokémon are based on animals and objects that are definitely tangible, why are they still immune to Normal and Fighting type moves? I punched a chandelier once and it broke.
have you tried punching a ghost
The same reason that flying Pokemon are immune to ground types but floating Pokemon without levitate aren't.

Ghost-type Pokemon aren't intangible, they just have the ability to phase through things. They use their powers to make Normal and Fighting attacks phase through them.

What's the best Z-move for my boy?

Not what my question was.
Water Bubble provides:
>Immunity to Burn status
>Reduces Fire damage
>Doubles the BP of Water moves alone. Before STAB is applied.
>All in one ability
Is this is the most "specialized" ability ever created? 3 fucking benefits in one package? Are you kidding me? It outclasses Water Veil in every aspect too.
Kind of ridiculous, really, but not overpowered on this pokemon.

There's been stuff like this before. Like Stakeout is just Analytic but worse. Toxic Boost is a worse Guts.
I hope this cancer gets banned to ubers.
now that the dust has settled, is it actually good or just a meme?
Is it actually viable? does it actually compete with protean?

Was there ever any doubt

well /vp/ and smogon called how it's going to be shit

>>Basically a Mega with an item slot
Lacks an ability and requires set up.
It's good, but as /vp/ and smogon called it, Protean is still better.

What Pokémon is this?? My Pokédex didn't give me its entry...
>literally my mom's yellow abelardo
>>31592356
That's a shiny abelardo, you idiot.
They haven't added Ducklett to the pokedex yet.
It's over edition.

This being my first competition, I didn't think I did that bad. I managed to reach 1550, and stay around there for a while before having a terrible lose streak.
With a total of 30 battles I scored myself 14 wins and 16 losses, placing me somewhere mid-1.4k.
I honestly had expected to fall below 1.4k.
Started out weak in the mid 1400s, but I finished with just above 1600. Definitely could've done better with team building, had a lot of trouble with certain Pokemon (Lele and Porygon2 mainly). I knew there were problems going in though, so I'm not disappointed.
W/L was 24 wins / 16 losses. Decided not to do any more matches because I didn't want to risk falling below 1600.
This was definitely my favorite match, really enjoyed using Comfey.

I only got to 1550 or so, but I also only played 15 matches. I did really well leading with Marowak since it has such good coverage moves and a great defensive typing, plus Lightning Rod. I cleaned up with my Cloyster, and whenever I got an SS out it was over. I only lost three or four matches out of those. Overall fun, I'll be excited for more interesting rules and prizes.
Is she good now?
Nope
Outclassed by all three other snow warning mons in terms of both design and viability

It's not just a phase, mom!
Why are you forcing this? I'm not even against the ship, but why do we need threads dedicated to it?
Moon and Gladion is infinitely better.
>>31592003
Lillie x Hapu or go home
Reminder that millions of years later we will get a megasquid pokemon.
Desert hopper Pokemon when?
Squibbon will probably be a water starter and be the new shillmon.

Come up with a plot for the next pokemon game that isn't the Evil team needs Box legend
The box legend is either good or chaotical neutral, and the evil team needs to avoid it at all costs in order to carry out their plans
Ok, the box legend now wants the evil team.
You are an agent of the evil team disguised as a regular trainer.
Every gym you beat weakens the city that the gym is in, allowing the evil team to take it over
As the story progresses, you can either rise through the ranks and become the boss of the team (and own the region), or you can use your status to dismantle the team from the inside and restore order to the region.
TFW you are finally reunited with your bro in a new region.
and then...
and then you realize there's fuck all to do with the game and just stop playing again
IT IS TIME

Why did gamefreak get rid of mega tyranitar?

They want to pretend that Megas never happened.
It will happen to Z-Moves and UBs next.

Aren't all megastones that are for non-Alola natives excluded from the games?
