For fun calculations:

252+ ATK (Pokemon-style EVs) Primal Groudon Precipice Blades vs. 0 HP / 64 DEF (puppet-style EVs) SukunaD: 246-290 (84.2 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

That's a STAB BP120 move running off of a fully invested base 180 ATK hitting a weakness and it CAN'T ONESHOT. Note that SukunaD is running no HP investment, isn't using a boosting mark for Defense, and isn't holding a Golden Hairpin.


If Primal Groudon is using Earthquake for consistency (but is still Adamant nature) and SukunaD is holding a Golden Hairpin, it gets worse: the damage range drops to 200-236 (58.4 - 69%).

No Adamant Nature and Earthquake? (53.2 - 63.1%). Still a 2HKO, but remarkable given Primal Groudon's base 180 attack.
These are at level 100 however, and TPDP is very heavily focused on doing battles at level 50, whereupon those last two calculations become very different.

252+ ATK Primal Groudon Earthquake vs. +1 0 HP / 64 DEF SukunaD: 72-86 (47.6 - 56.9%) -- 84% chance to 2HKO

Not even a guaranteed 2HKO anymore, and Groudon's still Adamant nature here.

Without it?

252 ATK Primal Groudon Earthquake vs. +1 0 HP / 64 DEF SukunaD: 66-78 (43.7 - 51.6%) -- 2.7% chance to 2HKO

Enough said.

Precipice Blades is still a 2HKO no matter what nature assuming both hit, but there's a 28% chance it misses at least once.

On the other side of things (assuming level 50):

64+ ATK (puppet-style EVS) SukunaD Shooting Press vs. 4/0 DEF (Pokemon-style EVS) Primal Groudon: 104-126 (59 - 71.5) -- Guaranteed 2HKO

If Primal Groudon isn't running Precipice Blades, Swords Dance, or a special attack, and isn't investing in bulk himself, he loses to Golden Hairpin SukunaD barring a crit on his end. This also applies if he is running Precipice Blades and misses once without Swords Dance up, or if SukunaD gets lucky and crits him for the 1HKO.

Primal Groudon is BST 770.

SukunaD is BST 370.

This tiny thing can murder arguably the strongest thing in Ubers. Enough said.

Do any of you mythical moon decipherers know what this shit says? Looks like Extra Kaguya, Reimu, and Yukari get it.

>>24943668
Mysterious Heavenly Rainbow: boosts FAtk by 30% in Sunshower (the new weather).

>>24943725
Is that the only thing Yukari EX gets?
I personally hate weather.

>>24943725
Thanks!

The OCR -> google translate process I was using was giving me: "The Atsumari-dan Gar 3 when the weather ‥ Weather Rain
Double _ this ' night."

Anyways.. what does Sunshower do again? Regardless it seems that this ability is pretty shit.

>>24943742
she gets wisdom eye as well which is pretty decent

>>24943742
Yes, Extra Yukari's other ability is Wisdom Eye/Unaware which sounds much more appealing to me than a Sand Force clone. Sunshower is as docile as weather gets; it's actually just Wonder Room.

>>24943754
>>24943765
That actually sounds neat.

Which Raiko should I use?
They both look good with only 1 weakness and high Sp.att.

Why does Sound resist Water?
I don't understand.

>>24943863
Singers can hold their breaths underwater more than an ordinary guy,That's all I got.

>>24943863
water generally amplifies sound. Sure you could pull something out of your ass based on that.

>>24943863

Sound travels faster in water I guess? Explains water being weak to sound at least.

>>24943923

Nevermind water isn't weak to sound, I'm retarded.

>>24943860

Pretty sure power is the objectively better one, but I'm sure Raikoanon will show up to throw an informative wall of text at you soon enough.

Neat. So HijiriE gets Recoil Offset and with it: Luminous Flux, Thor's Hammer, and Full Metal Crash.

Might be fun.

Imported my save data from TPDP, anyone know how to access older 2hus?

I'm in post-game.

>>24943982

Seems like she could be a pretty effective high speed mixed attacker that doesn't come with the usual drawback of dying instantly to any damage.

No, it's just more fucking futa.

The anon saying mima was the new Red got BTFO, she is just a three puppets trainer you fight at the former hell tournament, she get her own battle music, though.

>>24944122

Yeah, she had pretty nice music I must say.

>>24944122
It's not exclusively Mima's theme, just the battle Theme for PC98 characters

Also you can fight her post-game in 90s leveled team

So how do I dream world?
I'm going to the bamboo forest right now for Keine quest.

>>24944143
You can access the "secret" area after you get the wood cutting doll (to find it just pay attention to the fully grown bambo; second area you see it).

There will be a house there. Sleep in it to go to the dream world/the lunar capital.

The first time you can go to it for free, but after that you'll need to use a 1000yen/whatever dream pill. You get these from Reisen in the human village. I know for certain she appears there after the scarlet devil mansion. Not sure if she's there earlier.

>>24944143
After Eientei, return to entrance of bamboo forest, then take right, down, up, left, down.

Cut the trees. As you enter the forest you'll find a shack. Enter that then take the item near the bed (胡蝶夢丸) then sleep, confirm.

To enter again just buy the shady drug from Reisen then repeat.

>>24944157
>>24944158
So gotta buy lots of seals for the free ride then.
Thanks.

>>24944164
Yeah, just buy lots of it and don't sell it as you'll need it post game where you can go to Hell via Sanzu River

>>24944157
Actually, the first time isn't free, it's just that you get a pill from the orb beside the house that you get to use.

So, if you were to say, grab it, then decide to go back to the store at the entrance to the bamboo forest, sell all your shit to stock up on threads and come back, you would be shit out of luck. So don't do that.

I'm fucking retarded.

Alright, I got Extra Meiling to 70. Besides what's listed, she gets what's basically a Nature type Fire Blast, Concussion and Forsee. Don't see it helping that much, which is a shame.

I updated to 1.011 and now it's acting up. Is anyone else having problems?

>>24944122
You aren't fighting her post-game team

>>24944204
none on my end. What do you mean "problems"?

Did ByakurenS's type change? Illusion attacks aren't working against Shinki's ByakurenS

>>24944199
Wait, my bad, I'm pretty sure it's the orb INSIDE the house. My mistake.

>>24944216
That's odd. The dollPages info lists here as Fighting/Light still. Illusion attacks should be SE

>>24944216
Nevermind, I'm just a dumbass. Dunno what the attack is but it apparently has a gimmick

>>24944211
First it was lagging, thought it was because I was running Visual Novel Reader while watching AGDQ. After closing it the game ran better but then kept freezing. After a couple closes now it doesn't start, it just appear on the Task Manager.

I'm gonna delete the exe and reinstall to see if gets fixed.

>>24944235
Did you exit prematurely during the patching process? I just barely did one time and it really fucked things up.

Finally done with my Kanako research.

Power got a slight buff to her Empty Mind and Heart skill, it now recovers HP a bit in Calm weather. That new wind move is good on her since it's 95 BP with a 10% flinch chance and doesn't make her suicide. Her level 70 moves suck shit, they're all spread moves even though her spread attack is only 80. Macroburst, Off-Season Blossom and that new Nature Fire Blast. She has Strenuous Stance now, so she can finally boost her offense. If you're really desperate, you can slap a Silver Hairpin on her and use her to beat the fish, but that's about it and you need to keep Stealth Steel off the field for that.

Defense didn't get much help either. She got Iron Wall Stance and an Earth type Fire Blast at level 70. Her special attack is respectable so she can actually use it, but not much has changed beside that.

Extra is probably the best of them, but still not that good. She can check Sukuna with Metallurgy since she's immune to both of her STAB moves, but doesn't like taking Void moves at all. I think she'd be pretty good if her stat distribution wasn't garbage. She's basically made to be a curse sweeper like Snorlax but her speed is way too high at a base of 95. 100 Fo Attack isn't good enough for plowing through things, and 75 Sp Atk isn't enough for going mixed. Her level 70 moves are Root Frog and Cross Counter, and you'd only really use Root Frog. The only thing I don't know is her new ability, but it's a weather ability from what I could figure out.

Basically, screw me.

>>24944395

It's all just a test to prove how dedicated you are to your waifu.

If you truly love her you'll still accept her. She'll still be shit.

>>24944456

I'm still gonna use her on my team. But now the decision is basically if I want to kill a fish or kill a midget. Defense is probably still better than Power overall, but you may as well use Sukuna for bulky physical related stuff.

Ridiculously nasty new threat #8 or whatever, EikiE

Warp/Void

140/60/100/90/100/60

One of her abilities is unknown, but who cares when the other is the same one that RenkoE gets (i.e. remove the opponent's ability completely on switch-in)

Notable moves from level-up:
3 untranslated and unknown moves (probably warp moves)
Power Spot (i.e. Wish; I don't know the mechanics behind it but if it works like in Pokemon then those are some really big heals you can pass on to team-mates)
Ghost Wave (if you want to fish for the 30% fear chance and ruin spread attackers)
Pretense (to change your type and thus make your opponent's switch-in scream in rage)
A new untranslated Void type Spread move:
BP140, 100% accuracy, no additional effects, 5SP (i.e. Boomburst with half the uses)

From Skill-Cards
Emperor's Indignity (stop Sound-types in their tracks)
Eye of Laplace (kill other Warp types)
Gravity Blast (fuck over Fighting Types)
Field Barrier (SCREENS)
Field Protect (SCREENS)
More untranslated moves, probably some more Warp moves in there
Catastrophe (if Gravity Blast runs out too quickly for you)
Sign skills (combine with Pretense to become whatever type you want)

Thankfully she has a 4xweakness to Changeling and isn't very fast so she's nowhere near unstoppable.

>>24944500
Sounds pretty gutsy.

>>24944500
Does anyone else get that void spread move? Someone with a skill to convert it into another type maybe?

>>24944500

Nah, it wasn't the patching. After a couple of installs and a bunch of messing around I found out the VNR keeps freezing it. That thing just had an update as well.
Funny thing is, my internet cut off for a moment and I was able to run the VNR without the translation. It works but for some reason translating the text breaks the game and I have to keep replacing the exe.

Christ, this game REALLY wants me to use Toyohime, this is like the fourth I've seen in like 40 steps.

>>24944500
No! that ability was the only thing that made Renko useful! now no one has reason to use her.

Extra Sanae seems pretty fun so far. Her only good stat is Focus Attack, but she has a buttload of resistances and you can choose between either reducing your Dark weakness to 2x or going into hyper sweep mode with that ability that boosts speed by 3x and move power by 1.3x. Even gets STAB on what's basically Reversal on top of Endure.

I am confused, where is the "battle tower"? at first i thought it was that arena in the former hell, but that is just for a small tournament where you fight mima.

>>24944878
>going into hyper sweep mode with that ability that boosts speed by 3x and move power by 1.3x.

What's the conditional / drawback on that?

>>24944770
Are you fucking serious? It must be a sign- she's extremely rare.

also that's some ace taste with your starter

>>24944890

You have to be at low HP for it to activate. Easily stopped by priority. At the same time, you don't have to immediately go into that form. Her only weakness is Dark.

>>24944905
does she learn endure?

>>24944908
nvm, just looked it up. She does. Neat.

True, but I am not near postgame yet, and I want to use her in my main team.

Assuming these puppets were rated by comparison with actual Pokemon
What tier would most of them be?

>>24945216

Honestly, even the worst of them would probably be on par with around RU or UU pokemon. There's obvious ones that'd be terrible like giant Suika or Regiyukari, but that's about it.

Wouldn't say that; she doesn't have as exploitable of a typing and learns Stealth Trap.

She has a solid niche that she occupies with having the longest lasting field/weather moves. It's not the most utilized niche, but she does it the best. Name something luvdisc does better than another pokemon.

RenkoS gets permaweather. Legit bonafide permaweather like that of Gen 5 or earlier, not even the "until you switch out" stuff of Gen 6. Not even Ubers get that anymore.

RenkoA gets 8 turn terrain effects. Do you know how many people would KILL for an 8-turn Trick Room? Quite a few.

RenkoE is Shuckle with less godawful HP, much better defensive typing, a stellar ability shared by only one other puppet, and a lot of truly ridiculous utility moves.

She learns Power Mean with base 5 offenses, learns Stealth Trap, learns Bind Trap, learns Encourage so she's not set-up fodder, and has 2 untranslated moves at level 70 that might just make her even better.

RenkoE is good.

Depends on what you want to accomplish / preferences. Do you want higher Focus Attack (Power), Spread Attack (Extra), or Speed?

Personally, I'd go with Speed (one of its abilities is Sore Loser, which is basically Defiant). Invest in Focus Attack EVs and learn Mad Rush Stance (Shift Gear).

Speaking of... (Assuming Level 50)

252+ SpA Primal Kyogre Thunder vs 64 HP / 0 SpD WakasagiE : 118-139 (51.9-61.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

64+ SpA WakasagiE Energy Absorb v 252 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 102-122 (49.2 - 58.9%) -- 98% chance to 2HKO

The real kicker is that Wakasagi regains HP from Energy Absorb, so a 2HKO won't be in the question anyways.

If Primal Kyogre doesn't have a set-up move, he loses to the fishy. Period; Kyogre doesn't have any physical moves that would do more damage to her than the special attacks, and even Thunder won't 2HKO thanks to the HP recovery from Energy Absorb (hell, even just giving her Food Rations gives her a very small chance to survive 2 Thunders without any further recovery. If Kyogre doesn't use Thunder when she comes in, he better be setting up or getting the fuck out of there or else he's going to die. And fleeing means you just gave her a free turn to set up Genbu.

Just for fun, although running a Hyper Beam variant is still a godawful idea:

64+ SpA WakasagiE Sakura Blizzard vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 204-242 (98.5 - 116.9%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

The fishy is THAT powerful. God help us.

Those numbers are cool and all, but honest question, does TPDP run the same exact calculations that pokemon does? There's the whole thing of most moves being stronger than their pokemon variants, for instance.

>>24946026
Damage calculation works the exact same way, although in 1.34 the variance was 86-100% in contrast to Pokemon's 85-100%; this was set to 85-100% in the demo of the expansion so I think it's safe to say they're the same.

In Waggyswaggy's case Energy Absorb is identical to Giga Drain, so BP differences don't apply here.

The point is that the fish is a killing machine.

Oh crap I forgot to factor SR/ST into the mix (in which case Kyogre might 2HKO even through Energy Drain recovery) or the small chance of parahax letting Kyogre win out, but then again outside of Food Rations as a side mention I didn't give Waggyswaggy any items either.

>>24945996
Actually depending on damage rolls and whether SR is up or not, Waggyswaggy can set Genbu up ON Primal Kyogre AFTER it switches in (as in it gets a Thunder in during the Genbu turn) and still kill it first.

Setting up as it switches in, let alone before that? RIP Kyogre.

>>24946183
we need to get a drawfag on this

>>24946183

The difference is that Kyogre and Groudon are still disgustingly strong even at their weakest and have dramatically wider usability.

SukunaD just stops existing against things that counter her, she only excels in her comfort zone.

Wiggywaggy is a whole new beast though, it's hard to say what she's going to be like exactly until people start getting some live experience with her, same with HecatiaE.

>>24946183
SukunaD dies to pretty much any spread attack.

Is there a zip of custom sprites or anything? I wanna run around as Maribel.

Do Puppet EVs count for a lot more at max than pokemon EVs? That seems like a pretty substantial difference even for the defensive equivalent to Huge Power.

Pokemon EVs at the effective max of 252 is +63 points, divided by half at level 50 (and rounded up for 32 points).

Puppet EVs at the max of 64 is +64 points, divided by half at level 50 (i.e. +32).

It's just Miracle Mallet is completly busted.

Time to discuss something that makes me very sad as a Raiko fan but will make people sick and tired of VoltTurn in competitive Pokemon very, VERY happy.

Four puppets (ERukuuto, EKisume, EKasen, and DHecatia) get a new ability that prevents the opponent from switching out via using moves. Basically backwards Shadow Tag; regular switching out still works but other ways for you to switch out don't. So that renders Escape Plan a complete waste of a move, makes Lightning Speed and Changeling much worse, and cripples Decresendo (although Decresendo will still at least do the stat drops and thus is still usable).

Notably, this makes EKasen a ridiculously hard counter to PElly; you're immune to Wind type moves and resist Steel type moves, have base 130 HP and base 130 DEF to tank anything she does throw at you, and she can't even use Backup Plan to pass the boosts on to something else. She has to switch and lose them completely, giving KasenE time to set up Strenuous Stance and then ruin whatever comes in next with a priority Strike Shot.

HecatiaD isn't half bad either: Base 80 HP and base 200(!) Special Defense is absolutely ridiculous bulk on the special end, but unlike OrangeD she has base 120 ATK so she can actually fight back rather than just sit there and take the hits. And she ALSO learns Strenuous Stance, although she has no priority to go with it and with base 50 speed and a blah base 70 Defense it may not be the best idea. I'd run her with a Golden Hairpin to cover the defense or a Silver Hairpin to just become impossible for spread attacks to do anything meaningful to you.

Extra Kisume learns Offensive Trance (i.e. Shell Smash). With 90/110/100 defenses, setting it up isn't even that difficult (although even double speed won't fix base 45 speed on it's own)

RuukutoE doesn't seem that good though, but 3/4 being viable threats is kind of scary especially with how they can easily force something out that normally could scout.

I've a question for the competitive-minded anons.

I'm looking at JunkoP, and it seems she learns dragon dance. However, her stat spread is 100/125/100/90/110/60. Would dragon dance be at all useful on a spread like this?

>>24947341
Yes, although you'll want to invest in speed so she doesn't need to spend more than one turn getting going..

...Wait she gets fucking Dragon Dance? Jesus goddamn christ 100/100/110 bulk is nuts and then once she's going she can heal herself with STAB Atomic Energy. If that speed was switched with her Spread ATK she would be absolutely disgusting.

I am starting to think basically the entire old meta may as well be tossed out the door at this point.

I just want to take this moment to remind people that the new type's name has been finalized to Warped.

>>24947423
Why Warped exactly?

>>24947372
Her resistances are pretty nuts as well

|void=0.5x
|steel=0.5x
|wind=0x
|electric=0.5x
|light=0.5x
|nether=0.5x
|chaos=0.5x

That's 7/17. Not bad. I wonder if any type combinations have more than that.

And yeah the old meta is dead and gone RIP. I kinda feel bad for Utsuho fans. Taking 10 speed away was harsh, and probably not necessary considering the drastic meta shifts.

>>24947338
Thanks for the info and analysis Raiko bro

>>24947423
I'm one stupid son of a bitch when it comes to grammar, but is "warped" a noun? All the other types are... I'm not sure. Something about it is throwing me off.

>>24947457
ah, I just realized that light/nature does at 8
void=0.5x
|water=0.5x
|nature=0.5x
|earth=0.5x
|electric=0.25x
|light=0.25x
|nether=0.5x
|sound=0.5x

Doesn't have an immunity, though

>>24947448
When we compared the information we had - who got the new type, skills, abilities, what the skills animations looked like, the fact that one of the abilities is plainly called "Warped Bonus", and when you look at other factors such as the implications of the terminology, Warped was the best choice after we ruled out Chaos.
>>24947457
We... have an explanation for this, but I can't remember it at the moment, and those who could answer seem to be afk. I'll direct them to the thread so they can respond (or i can later) when they return.

>>24947457
The new type used to be a noun but it got warped.

>>24947476

That reminds me, how common is priority outside of Overtake Strike? Because that Extra Sanae sure seems fun.

>>24947457
>>24947483

I feel like just simply calling it "Warp" makes more sense and fits with everything else better.

Fire, dark, nature, water, warp feels better than light, void, illusion, earth, warped.

>>24947496
Warp is the shorthand we accepted on in most cases, but ultimately it's Warp/Warped.

>>24947506

Fair enough, not too big a deal in the long run, whatever you feel like is the most literal translation is good in my book for this kind of thing.

She does at least have 4 weaknesses (Dark, Poison, Fighting, and Illusion); AyaP can probably revenge-kill her with ease at any rate.

>>24947457
Don't forget abilities; RaikoE has 5 resistances and 2 immunities assuming you pick her good ability (resists water, light, dark, nether, and fighting, and is immune to void and warp). Hell, she resists one of JunkoP's STABs and is immune to the other, so she can probably check her.

So besides Venom Nova, Extra Seiga gets Divine Punishment, Transcend Form and a mysterious new physical Nether move with 90 BP. One of her new moves is also a Poison type Earthquake, which is nice. Depending on her ability, she could be pretty solid. I have no idea what they are. All I could figure is that one skill lowers damage, and the other does something with priority.

Looks like top skill sets all moves with priority >1 to priority 0 (for both sides).

That anon was right. How the hell do you even begin to EV Hecatia? She wants HP, she wants speed, she wants BOTH attacking options.
Even if you choose one of FoAtt or SpAtt you still have to choose between that, HP and speed.

>>24947809

Extra Seiga. She's naturally fast so she doesn't care about losing priority, not that she has much of any. She's got a lot of neat tricks up her sleeve, 110 Fo. Atk and 120 Speed, Nuzzle and Taunt. Her main STAB moves have amazing base power, with some nice coverage with Nether, Nature and Illusion moves to add on. Her typing gives her 5 resistances. Her Sp. Def is pitiful though and she gets demolished by Wind.

>>24947809

>>24947858
Now that I've had some time to try and remember, I believe our logic was that the type name refers to the state of being Warped, and Distorted. In translation, people wanted to call it Distortion, because that was also a possible translation. However, we agreed that, while Distortion was accurate, it didn't sound right as a type name - Warped continued to fit the same basic idea of it being twisted and distorted. "A warped personality", "warped beyond all recognition".
>>24947910

Well, I have the wedding dress on my puppet, but her overworld sprite is still the same. Did they not implement that feature, or did I do something wrong?

Speaking of CirnoE, she's pretty damn good. Her other ability is the one that nullifies all moves with a BP of 50 or less. Not only that, she's got a pretty good defensive typing in Water/Fighting (0.5x to 7 types but 4 weaknesses) and access to Stealth Trap/consistent healing.

Even with only 80 base Spread Attack, she's a fantastic physical wall that completely shits on AyaP and a ton of other physical threats.

Because that's not the only basis for why we went with Warped. In the end, Warped was one of the words we we had decided would be an option for the type, and since one of the abilities is "wa-pu bonasu" we went with that. Warped refers to the state of being. This element is in the state of warp/being warped. Honestly, Warp-Type sounds weirder than Warped type. Because compare Warp-type vs Warped-type, which one sounds like it has to do with twisting, bending and corrupting? In fact, Warped type in general is just stupid to me, but I digress. It could be Warp or Warped, but we went with Warped.

>>24948024
If you don't like the sound of warped, why not go with, say, Distortion type instead?

24948060

You misinterpret, I mean this new typing that Hemo made, this Warped, this 歪 type is stupid. Not the name itself.

>>24948068
Oh ok.
I think the typings are kind of odd to start with, so I don't really mind that much.

>>24948060
I still think it should just be called Warp.
Warp type flows better than Warped type.

>>24948024
>>24948060

Not part of the translation team, but both Warped and Distortion sound clunky, and Warped isn't even a noun in most cases. It's like calling Water-types Wet or Ghost-types Spooky.

At least Warp has the whole 40k usage to fall back on.

>>24948060
Primarily, we didn't like how Distortion sounded as a type name. But the other deciding factor was the length of the name. Interfaces could really only support 6 characters on the graphic, and we'd have to shorthand it. Distortion... doesn't cleanly shorthand. Fighting might be longer than 6, but it shorthands to Fight, and thus fits.

It's what we're going with regardless.

>>24948024
Those bonuses have names like "Leaf Bonus" and "Grand Bonus".
>compare Warp-type vs Warped-type, which one sounds like it has to do with twisting, bending and corrupting?
I'm not a warhammerfag, but "the warp" doesn't sound like a strange concept to me.

So how do you stop Waggyswaggy

>>24948125

A nature type that isn't weak to sound moves.

>>24948125
Slap it and call it bad names

>>24948125
It's simple, we POISON the water.

Ultimately, in regards to Warped, we spent a good week after release, and the time after the demo came out, internally debating this and running over the options we had. The options we started with were Chaos, Warp/Warped, Alter/Altered, and Distortion. Chaos was ruled out when the Demo came out, and Distortion was ruled out based on length. This left us with Warp/ed vs Alter/ed. In the end, after seeing Warp Bonus, we decided on using Warp/Warped. As I said earlier, Warp was the accepted shorthand in situations that call for it to be shortened, but it's likely not going to change from Warped, because it refers to the state of the type: being in constant flux and twisted. We agreed to announce the name when we reached a final decision.

Speaking of WakasagiE and Genbu, AliceE gets an ability that halves her speed while in Genbu. And yes, she learns Genbu herself.

This means when Genbu isn't up she can outspeed a decent chunk of things thanks to base 100 speed, and then once you do get Genbu up she can flip around and outslow a good chunk of the things you were outspeeding originally in addition to all the stuff legit faster than you.

I think it's safe to say at this point that Genbu teams are terrifying in every single way and that you should bring a way to handle them on your team or else you will get stomped.

>>24948150
>but it's likely not going to change from Warped, because it refers to the state of the type: being in constant flux and twisted.
It sounds fucking stupid though.
Take literally any comment about a type and try using Warped in it. Then try using Warp in it.
It sounds way better as Warp and no one is going to actually call it Warped.

>>24948150
I kind of like the idea of Flux Type, actually, but it doesn't matter that much in the end.

>>24948125
I've been calcing a lot of things that could live two attacks on the switch and OHKO. I started with absolute max attack with a Scarf which would be uncommon, but MedicineD can live 2 120BP Cold Rains under Genbu if she has max SpDef EVs/Nature and a Vat of Poison and OHKO with Poisoned Arrow if she has max FoAtk EVs.

If you can switch in on a Wakasagi without trick room already up, or expect something like Life Orb instead lots of Nature types that are at least 1x vs Sound will do as long as they have enough Atk and a Poison type move to OHKO.

Stuff with Protect are good to stall out Trick Room turns, and you can still priority to death her if one Poison move doesn't kill. It has to be able to live at least one hit though.

>>24948176
>>24948189
Personally in favor of Warped over Warp as I associate the word Warp primarily with teleporting, and that's not what the type is about at all. Flux does sound better to me though.

>>24948176
That's not up to you, is it?

>>24948226
Doesn't mean I can't state my opinion.

Honestly I don't feel like Genbu is worth worrying about, it's still just a build-around-me gimmick that you can shut down with Taunt.

How do you stop a HO Nether team though? Can't rely on light types since most of those just get ripped to pieces by their dark weakness, sound types can't hit for SE back, and there are a lot of fast and hard hitting nether types to just completely crush the opponent.

Priority matters when you're sweeping and when you wanna secure kills without being murdered yourself.

>>24948370

It's basically the only reason I'm considering SanaeE. She gets triple speed and a free Life Orb boost at low HP.

>>24948386

that's because you're autistic. warp means to distort. in fact you could call it "distortion" type.

>>24948246
SarielD is pretty bulky, resists both Dark and Nether with her ability, and can hit back with SE Light attacks. She's not that notable otherwise, though.

Let's just call the new type Wapu instead.

>>24948423
I say we call it Curse.

>>24948427
Call it Dank type

UFO type, because nobody can agree on how to define it.

So, who's in the most pathetic state so far? As in, grasping for straws just to find a single reason to be used, even if it's just in a single form?

People are getting so mad about Warped type, but shouldn't people be mad at Hemo for making such a dumb type?

>>24948466

>>24948469

I'm mad that my favorites didn't get enough buffs.

>>24948473

I mean across all forms. I mean even if a Puppet has one terrible form, they might have another form to give them a place to fit in.

I can't think on another type with the same weakness and resists without being "its [unexplainable ilogic thing], it aint gonna explain shit"

>>24948370
Because there are faster things than said nether types.

I feel like trying to make Nether into Dragon isn't going to work here; too many things can take a netural hit while setting up and then turn the tables on you. Like fishE. Or you can have something that can take hits long enough to cripple whatever it's facing with status effects or the like, leaving it effectively useless. Or you can outspeed the nether type and kill it first. Yeah, Nether only is resisted by just two types (fewer than any other), but it only is SE against itself; almost nothing gets hit for SE by it as a result, and there are things that can take STAB netural moves and live while being able to fight back; HecatiaD can wall spread attacker nether types with ease for instance and rip them apart.

Nether is certainly buffed, but it's not broken. Hemo is actually somewhat good at balancing outside of his waifu bias.

>>24948481
Yuugi Type it is

>>24948464
I like that, Undefined-type, UFO for short.

>>24948466

Kosuzu and Akyuu are probably the worst puppets in the game across all 6 of their forms, with the only remotely usable one being AkyuuA, who is a shit(tier) Shedinja.

>>24948498
KosuzuE is actually not that terrible to be fair, and AkyuuA being Shedinja is at least worth considering at times.

>>24948493
This is why we thought of Chaos type at first. The typing is just... weird. It encompasses distortion, warping, corruption all at once. This is a hardcore example of "Japanese word that can't be translated 100% into English". With this in mind, no matter what we go with, there will be unhappy people. Some people were also unhappy with Void-type for some weird reason.

>>24948509
One of the Kosuzu forms has prankster, and people don't seem to know, but all Kosuzu forms can learn every skill card (TM). KosuzuE imo would probably be the best, because she gets doubled stats depending on what colored book she's holding (there's no speed book however).

Ok, I have come to the conclusion after the events that have transpired today that even trying to make a Smogon-style competitive team is a waste of time and effort in this game for a variety of reasons. There are hard-stop counters to every major strategy available (so if someone hates a particular kind of playstyle they can just tinker their team to shut it down), most people don't care how useful or useless their favorite is because they're going to use it anyways, and the fact that, to be blunt, playing to win is not as important as playing to have fun (although winning is certainly still nice).

Pic related, the last straw to my desires to ever want to make serious "win at all cost" teams in this game, not like there was much of those left at this point. Raiko is just too cute for me to want to play ultra-seriously at this point.

>>24949051
I feel this is a good thing imo; When the 1.8 Era came around, the puppets in general seemed to be much more balanced. Granted some things were still a bit more powerful than others, and some Puppets kinda got shafted and only had one form (Hi PC-98), but in the end, this game is an extension of what 1.8 tried to do - make everything balanced out and viable, make it so you can actually play with your favorites and not need to rely on this small select team of Pokemon that everyone uses otherwise you're fucking screwed.

Touhoumon's metagame is the only meta that's kinda interested me, because of how it is.

I've been toying with the teambuilder for a little while, and with such a balanced typechart it's hard to make a team with at least two resistances to everything without doubling up on weaknesses.
I think I'm getting the hang of it now, though, and it's fun. Too bad it'll probably just stay as theorymonning with no one to play with.

Is Assist Chen good for post-game?

>>24950485

ChenA is always a solid addition to any team unless you already have an excessive amount of earth / wind or you're running genbu.

>>24950491
Sorry for being new but what is Genbu?
Also I'm asking this because I want to give YuukaD a try, I already have HecatiaD so Having 3 earth mons on the team is kinda bad.

>>24950508
Trick Room.

>>24950508

Basically it's just a five turn terrain effect that reverses the effect of speed, making slower units go first.

It's trick room from Pokemon if you're more familiar with that.

Earth is a pretty good type so having 3 puppets with it isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when all of them are double-types, feel free to do it if it means getting to use your waifus.

It was in the base game but the meta rendered it generally pretty shit to bother with trying to use.

That's sure as hell changing in the expansion though.

>>24950533
>I can't find the word Genbu
It doesn't have its own page, it's under Field Effect. The skill that causes it is Manifest[Genbu], which also doesn't have its own page, but it's on the Skill list.

>>24950544
>also doesn't have its own page
Okay, I guess I was wrong.

>>24950556

The weird jap quotes around it makes it not show up in searches for some reason so I can't blame you, all the manifest skills are wonky to find on the wiki.

Too bad terrains suck balls in pokemon

>>24950700
That's because Trick Room in Pokemon doesn't have something capable of using it that could set it up on goddamn Primal Kyogre and then rip it to pieces.

Does Suzaku work with the equivalent of pain spli? If so, I could see its use.
Byakko is kinda just there, no good skill is innacurate enough to ustify it and both teams would be running the 120 power ones.
I don't get what Seiryuu does, removes the STABs? What's the point?

>>24950735
Extra Chen has an ability that gives a damage boost to STABs in Seiryuu (the JP doesn't say how much), and can set it up herself. She also has STAB on Last Resort, which has no immunities when you remove the type chart.

Still don't know what the point of Byakko is though.

>>24950775

I don't get what Byakko is for. I believe KanakoE's second ability grants a 1.5x damage boost under Byakko, but no one runs it. I can't figure out the 1.2x boost though. There's a 100 in there, so I assumed it would boost moves with 100% accuracy, but 2 hit Twister is about as strong as a 55 BP 95 accuracy move. Might even be a bit weaker, not sure.

Why is this thread so against bans anyways? Is it the stigma of being compared to Smogon?

>>24950995

I don't know. I don't mind either way, I'll stick to waiting for buffs since I hate how some of the things I like don't have very large niches.

>>24950995

I think the biggest reason is that Pokemon itself already exists for people that want tryhard competitive esports banpools so it'd be nice to leave this untarnished for the people that just wanna watch some cute girls murdering other cute girls without worrying about their waifu getting removed from the game.

>>24950995

No. Ban the concept of bans instead from this game

>>24950995
Because there's no way to enforce bans outside of friendly agreement to do so before battle, and the fact that banning something would kind of ruin the whole point of the game (i.e. have your favorites beat up someone else's favorites).

>>24951007
Honestly, there's one thing about competitive Pokemon play that's kind of hilarious. Smogon focuses almost completely on single battles.

Actual legit Nintendo-hosted tournaments are oriented around double battles.

Smogon's entire metagame isn't even official at all.

>>24951049
You're from Smogon yourself, you have no right to insult Pokemon competitive when you're a part of it.

>>24951049

But my favorites aren't strong enough to beat up someone else's.

>>24951090
What are your favorites?

>>24951118

So far, my complaints are that some stuff I like seems outclassed. A couple examples, Meiling, no one uses her. Speed looks like her best form but a lot of other fast speedy attackers could probably do what she does outside of Regenerator. Extra is kinda bad from what I've tried. She has Nasty Plot, but a lot of weaknesses and her only decent stat is Sp. Atk. Luna is fun but she's kind of a gimmick that isn't too hard to stop.

Oh, that's a nice change.

You know those type effectiveness charms (I.e. the game's equivalent to the yache berry cycle from Pokemon) that reduce the damage from a certain type's SE hit by half?

Guess what? Now they work on any hit from that type. So if I give the nether one to RaikoP, the first Nether type move thrown at her will effectively be double-resisted.

Might be useful if you want to ruin a certain type's day by pretending to have a resistance on a puppet for a few seconds.

>>24951082
>You can't acknowledge the faults of something you enjoy and are involved in.
Found the fanboy.

>>24950995
Honestly, the game is fairly balanced as is. There are some puppets that perform better than others, but everyone has at least one thing going on. It's not like Pokemon where there are groups of mons that are designed to be objectively better than others (i.e. most Legendaries)

>>24951145
Or for a more meta-relevant example, I could give Poison Sign (i.e. HP Poison) and the nature resist berry to RaikoP and use her as a surprise counter to WakasagiE.

64+ SpA RaikoP Poison Sign vs. 64 HP / 0 SpD WakasagiE : 208-248 (91.6 - 109.2%): 56.3% chance to OHKO.

You do that on her set-up turn, you either shoot her down before she even gets Genbu up or you leave her low enough on HP that she'll no longer be capable of fighting back.

...Actually the type resist berry is mostly meaningless here (even neutral her Energy Absorb won't 1HKO with 64 HP investment, not even with Life Orb support, although it will make it so a last thrown out Energy Absorb before dying will only do half damage), so it's not a good example, just I guess you can run HP Poison on strong special attackers to make Waggyswaggy go down with remarkable ease, especially since almost everything outspeeds her.

Waggyswaggy solution found!

>>24951277

Could just run Silver Hairpin on certain things. Still gotta watch for residual damage though.
