Stone evolutions aside, what's the point of locking you out of moves like this? No one should have to use a Shroomish for 40 levels and miss out on Mach Punch ingame for Spore.

They don't give you the move if you evolved early. Or did they change that?

Can we get a competitive team rate thread going?
https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/
Also could I get some advise on this team? I'm using it to fight my friend whose been noob stomping me in every game he introduces to me for years (LoL,WoW,Smite,etc) and now he's finally in my territory, and he's obnoxious so if he wins everyone in the friend group will never hear the end of it.
Pkmn he's highly likely of using:
Aegislash
Salazzle(balloon)
Metagross
Golisopod
Kommo-o
Toxapex band wagoner
Celesteel
Tapus
My team:
Peliper@Damp Rock/Bold
Drizzle/252 hp 252def 4 sdef
Defog
Hurricane
Rest
Scald
Masqurein@focus sash/timid
Intimidate/252spe 252satk 4hp
Air slash
Quiver dance
Hydro pump
Bug Buzz
Mimikyuu@Red Card/Jolly
252spe 252atk 4 hp
Will o Wisp
Substitute
Swords Dance
Shadow Sneak
Starmie@Life Orb/Timid
Nat cure/252 spe 252 satk 4 sdef
Psychic
Scald
Thunder
Ice Beam
Krookodile@choice band/jolly
Intimidate/252spe 252atk 4 hp
Earthquake
Stone edge
Crunch
Dragon Claw
Hydreigon@choice specs/timid

Honestly, /vp/ doesn't really care about competitive. I suggest you go to Smogon forums or Reddit. :^)
>>
>>30527048
You don't have a good way of dealing with bulky Water types. If I had to make 1 change on that team I'd switch out Masquerain for a Xurkitree with Thunder to take advantage of Pelipper's rain, it also has synergy with Hydreigon since you can switch it into Ground type moves.

Speed means how fast a Pokemon can attack, not how fast something flies or runs.

It's disgusting. I pray everyday that this gets patched or changed in future gens at the very least.

>>30526950
It feels like they went genwun with the stats. That is to say more rounded rather than minmaxed, with some exceptions. Even the UBs have very poor stats in at least one or two areas to compensate for a ridiculously large stat elsewhere.
I appreciate that they attempted to create a balanced group of pokemon rather than continue the power creep, but it seems to late for this kind of philosophy, and now we have a group of completely mediocre pokemon. The speed stat in particular did not need to be so ubiquitously terrible. Usually slow pokemon can boast some bulk to compensate for acting last, but apparently they didn't get the memo this time around.

Weather pokemon are FUCKING HARD to find, Gabite is probably the only exception.
I've spent literal hours looking for Politoeds and Sliggoos and nothing.
Could we finally be getting the walking Pokemon from heart gold and soul silver

How do I build and properly use a good defensive team?

Immunity to Fire or Water or Fighting.
Immunity to Dragon.
Immunity to Ground.
This is the defensive core of the team. You switch to these guys.
Then you plug in whatever help they need.
Heatran, Sylveon, Rotom-Wash is an example of a defensive core.

I'd say having Pokemon on at 5pm will boost ratings but it's on Disney XD now. How many people have that channel compared to Cartoon Network?
