>Fresh water now costs twice as much and only heals 30HP
That made me mad
But the berry growing racket is obscene in this game, you can sitrus every Pokemon to full after every battle, play all day, and still not exhaust the day's colossal yield of berries.

Then buy Lemonade in bulk at FP you dip.

Still it could be pretty useful in the undercard just like how Porygon2 was UU in Gen6
Post Ultra Beasts.

no one reply to this
>>30219587
All I see are trainers.
this is hau. say something nice about him
>>30219578
Kukui is better
He was fucking annoying as a kid
that art isreally cute
Honestly,imo it's one of the weaker.
Only reason it feels weaker is because of the gigantic emphasis they put on both story and human characters, as well as there being no National Dex, meaning the size of usable and viable Pokemon is extraordinarily minuscule.
Though with that said, it's leagues better than gen 6.
Only mons I actively dislike are Primarina and maybe Oranguru so meh.
As someone who loved Surskit's typing and was let down by Masquerain, this gen was a godsend.
>>30219552
I think it's in the middle. Story-wise it's probably the best but this is Pokemon, it's not very hard to trump the story.
It's a lot better than XYORAS at least. And, imo, better than DP.
I'm SR'ing for shiny Rowlet. How do you skip the cutscenes? It takes like a full 3 minutes.
>>30219410
You don't
>>30219410
You don't. Also, the pic you posted isn't the shiny.

Also looking for Modest/Timid Tapu Lele's.
Looking for some of these, epsecially with good natures, egg moves and balltism
Stufful
Bounsweet
Dewpider
Kartana
Buzzwole
I got lots of stuff for breeding mons, so I can help with breeding. If all else fails I can just use the first 3 options from above to breed then trade back
Young bloods all I'm looking for is Kartana. I have the Moon exclusive counterpart Celesteela, I do have all starters though and can quickly breed you an egg if you don't want the Celesteela. I just need the Kartana and I'm set for all legendaries/UBs to finish the dex

VGC for news
>Where I can read
http://www.oldmanvgc.com/
A place with a lot sets and some comments about them, they are Japanese players, take on mind that don’t have new teams, but give you a idea about how EVs works
http://nuggetbridge.com/
A site with a lot of reports of tournaments, guides (don’t use the forums is very bad tbqh, they are some kind of “elitist” shit), but still some good reports EVs and teambuilding
>Youtube Channels
https://www.youtube.com/user/YoshiSkillz
VGC player from Germany, and have some good videos
https://www.youtube.com/user/CybertronProductions
Very good for new players, he talk about why he chose the moves, have team breakdown
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJbbTSmMzaDhJg2uz6elyPA
A good player, that get a lot of videos, and have some about S/M, so you may check, also upload a guide about tapus, so for new is just too good
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9OZkS1Mhl5UvKSiPrYqsxg/featured
Wolfey channel, last year champion, he is uploading right now some videos about new pokemon, so you may want to check them, is very useful

>W-What's this year ruleset anon?
Only Pokemon from the Aloladex are allowed.
http://pastebin.com/4ddvU5Ai (embed)
Yes, the Ultra Beasts are allowed
>B-But the UB are broken!
No they are not, stop being a reactionary dummy. Stop thinking things are broken just because they have one very good stat. Notice how all their other stats are below or very below average. They don't even reach 580 BST.
>B-But Mega Mom and Mega Mence!
Megas are not allowed this year so that Z-Crystals and Moves can be shilled properly.
>W-What's good this year then?
Things that can be expected to be good are things that have always been good like Garchomp, Salamence, Gengar, etc. Of the new Pokemon? The most prominent are obviously the Tapus as they all have excellent typings, BST an abilities. Expect them to see them very often and to pack something agaisnt them.
Here's a few pages that have small compilations of interesting or good Pokemon or usual VGC staples.

>W-When's the earliest official event for this format?
It'll be on London between the 9 and 11 of December. It'll be the first of many International Championships.
Yes, TCPi thought it was a good idea to make a Nat-levels tourney as the first tourney of the format with less than a month for a meta to establish and for people to play the game and to breed their teams.
Is the EXP share still busted in SM? Is the game successfully balanced around it?
It's balanced and still challenging
Yes and no.
They brought back the EXP scaling from Gen 5 with no way to really grind up levels, so it's pretty much necessary if you're playing the game casually.
The Elite Four will fuck your shit up if you're unprepared though, EXP Share or not.
