Moonblast

Icy Rock?
I DUNNO HELP
>>30672940
Use freeze dry instead of blizzard. Run encore and the screens extender item
>>30672940
Pair HA NT with some good hail abusers, make sure it knows freeze-dry, moonblast, and hex, along with some kind of status move, if possible, like toxic.
>>30673011
Or nasty plot blizzard for in-game I guess
Is this the most underwhelming gen in terms of changing the metagame?
>only 51 new moves, 31 of which are exclusive to one pokemon, and the rest are only learned by a select few
>most new pokemon are pretty average, with the exception of the legendaries/UBs
>Most Z-Moves aren't being used because an item is almost always better
you also have to consider that it heavily rework older pokemon and a good amount of the new ones actually feel unique rather than shit like the monkey trio in gen 5
also Z-moves are more useful if you're using them to support like Darkinium Z Memento etc.
Tapus invalidate anything you can say about meta.
>>30672863
Are Tapus that dominating? I avoid using legendaries in my teams because reasons and was wondering if its possible to make a ~good~ team in S/M using regular pokemon.
Why doesn't Smogon implement the Pentagon rule in their metas? Realistically, it's the only way for Game Freak to remove moves from a Pokemon's movepool, and doing so is an entirely legitimate game change like removing gems was in the Gen 5->6 transition or the ability nerfs were in the Gen 6->7 transition. Gamefreak metas don't have to deal with Chansey and Mega Kangaskhan having Seismic Toss until the end of time because they simply mandate Chanseys and Kangaskhans have to come late enough that they don't have access to those moves; that's an entirely legitimate balance change, and one that will never be seen on Smogon without the Pentagon rule being implemented.
>>30672729
Prebank is kinda like Pentagon rule.
>>30672729
As a usual proponent of what Smogon does, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I want to say it was done to have kept the variation of Defog users up to help deal with hazards, but it still allowed in all kinds of shit as you mentioned.
>>30672729
>>30672872
As an additional point of note, Chansey line can legally get Seismic Toss when Bank comes out, since it's an egg move from Mawile who can gain it from Mankey line who gets it via level-up.
>Gym leader sends out their last Pokemon
>Special line and cut-in
>Knock them down to low health
>Another unique line
Why did they stop doing this? It gave the fights and leaders a bit more personality and was probably next to no additional effort.
In Gen 5 important NPCs also had a special line after doing damage to them for the first time.
I really liked this feature
the music changing for their last mon in gen 5 was really neat as well
emergency music overriding everything was awful though
pokemon has had so many cool ideas and extra touches over the years but they always ditch them in the next games
guess i should accept the fact there will never be a 'perfect' pokemon game and i will continue being disappointed til the end of time
I had forgotten how much I wanted to tap that ass when I was a kid.

Can someone please show me the attack animations for Dhelmise? Still don't have the games and can't find anything on youtube that isn't gyro ball or some fag quick balling it.
Thanks in advance.
>>30672628
Is that Necrozma's or Buzzwole's base?
Why was Ash attracted to Giselle and not Serena?
Was it because Giselle was actually cute?
Or was it because Giselle actually had a sliver of a personality?
Because the XY writers thought it would be funny to have the girl lust after the completely oblivious male lead.
>>30672535
It was because the first season was actually good.
>>30672535
Definitely silver of personality
Nintendo stated that the Switch was not the replace the 3DS. Now I know that they said the same thing about the GBA and the DS but I think that it was Nintendo not realizing how the DS could be popular.
So wouldn't be weird if Nintendo after making that statement released the next Pokemon game on the Switch? When they seem like they want to push the 3DS a little more? Plus think of the audience that they got thanks to GO I don't think it would be smart to just abandon all of these people a year later.
tl;dr: Could stars be on the 3DS?
>>30672418
No.
Stop it.
Get some help.
>>30672418
>Nintendo stated that the Switch was not the replace the 3DS.
They said the same about Nintendo DS. They are just being cautious in case it flops, OP. Don't be dumb. Switch IS the next handheld.
>>30672418What if Stars is going to be a Gen VIII game and we get Z/X2Y2 this Gen to set up a new pattern? Then Stars ends up being on the Switch after all, just later than we expected.
Best ship
kiawe is not for straight
>>30672375
You could've posted better art OP
>>30672375
i assumed that too
>Laura Kate Dale got another Switch leak right
What now, Stars denialists?
The hell is that supposed to be?
That character doesn't wear a hat so he can't be a Pokémon protag.
>>30672306
It's not Pokémon it's just a Switch exclusive game.
>Existing footage = baseless rumor going off he-said-she-said and "insider sources" that people are desperately latching onto for attention
Yeah, no
