>Base 216 HP
>probably higher defenses too
Yeah powder snow kills Megamance too
>2016 M:TG champion won $70,000, 7 times more than the Pokemon VG champion
>thousands of people the world over play in the Pro Tour and World Cup tournaments, awarding thousands of dollars in prize money
>many PROFESSIONAL players also earn money from sponsorships
>this game is played PROFESSIONALLY
>relies in large part of a luck-based mechanic
>everyone who plays believes this is fair, and many players often devise tactics to work around it rather than complain about it
And yet you Smogonbabies wanna ban Double Team, Minimize, and anything else "luck-based".
>>28628331
Then don't play on showdown if it bothers you so much.
>>28628331
competitive pokemon is and always has been a joke
>>28628353
I don't play on Showdown. I don't even play Smogon rules. I'm just flat-out baffled by Smogon's aversion to "luck-based mechanics" when so many other games use them and the playerbases have no issue with it. The very origins of RPGs (which is what Pokemon is, an RPG) originate in games that rely on rolling dice for ODDS of taking an action. Many RPGs still continue to rely on chance in part of their mechanics, and players in turn work the mechanics in their favor to increase those odds or other wise find another solution.
But no, not Smogon, they just ban it despite the existence of many different guaranteed-hit moves, and say it would create a "toxic meta".
Is anyone else worried that they won't be able to use certain Pokémon in their SuMo team because they're version exclusives?
>>28628278
>not getting both games
I'd use six snorlaxes on my Sumo team. Now, sun and moon, on the other hand...
We live in a world where you can trade Pokemon with someone 3,000 miles away from you in mere seconds. Version exclusives mean nothing.
>inb4 no friends
There are plenty of autists on here willing to trade version exclusives with youincluding me

Brendan, I've noticed over the past couple of days you and May have been avoiding each other. What happened?
>Oh, nothing.
Nothing huh. Well it didn't look like nothing when the both of you walked off opposite sides of Route 102. Tell me what happened?
>Well a few days ago May and I met a new girl out a-
Wait wait wait. New girl? No new families have moved into Littleroot, Oldale, Petalburg, or even Rustburo in the past couple of months.
>Yeah I know, we found her wondering the beach outside of Petalburg. She was friendly but not talkative, and we played with our Pokémon for a few hours.
Okay. What happened with this new girl that caused you and May to avoid each other?
>May and I were training in Petalburg Woods and the girl found us. We said hi and she came up to me and kissed me on the cheek.
Huh huh huuh. So May's jealous that you got yourself a girlfriend.
>No it's not that Steven.
Well what is it then? You've been avoiding May too, so you must have feelings for this girl.
>Well she is very pretty, she wears a bright red summer dress and has auburn hair that almost mat-
AUBURN HAIR!!!
Brendan promise me you'll never go near that girl again!
>What? Why? What's the pro-
PROMISE!!!
>Alright, alright, I promise jeez.
Ugh, sorry about that Brendan. But you to know that girl you kids met is probably a Latias. Being quiet, being friendly, being flirty, and having auburn hair are all dead giveaways. The best advice I can give to you is to avoid all auburn/red haired girls, even if you're sure they're human. You may think to yourself, "Hey if I cozy up to this Latias she'll let me capture her and I'll have an OP legendary to pewn noobs," or whatever you kids say nowadays. But Latiases are nothing but a bunch of harpies. They don't want to battle, they just want to touch you everywhere Brendan. They spam Internet threads with their selfies, porn, cropped porn. If you aren't careful you might one night go to a strip club in Lilycove with your boys, and bring back home one of the girls. Then the next morning you'll wake up with a dragon/bird/plane in your bed. You may think it's cute and all fun, but in a week she'll leave you to chase any Latios that isn't her brother. Then you'll be forced by the government, damn bastards, to hand over half of your Champion salary in egg support. Do you want that Brendan?
>N-no sir.
Good. Now go tell May what I said to you. But hold the part about you liking that Latias....and what happen-, WILL, will happen to you if you don't stay away from red heads. Got it?
>Got it.
Good. Now get out of here.
THIS ISN'T A HIDDEN HUNGERMON THREAD LIKE BEFORE.
This is a genuine McGuirk thread.
Hungermon is now dead.
Thanks, MODS
mcguirkposting cured my cancer
>You want this totally legit lvl 100 shiny Diancie?
>Give me a lvl 9 and under Mewtwo, then we'll talk LOL
Hopefully, they'll fix this shit in gen 7.
>>28628079
Hopefully, they'll just ban all legendary Pokemon from even being traded on GTS.
>xy GTS
>X Pokemon for one of the Bird trio
>you can only request Pokemon you've seen or own
What's the point?
>>28628114
Just they mythics I'd be ok with. I actually traded a lot of legendaries to complete my dex
This is a thread for dragons. Post dragons, no fairies allowed (except Mega-Altaria).
>>28628069
Dragon is my second-favorite type only behind Grass.
Which starter will you choose?
I will pick pic related, if there are split evos I have to see the others first.
and no im not a furryfucker or pokephil, I just like it`s design, is majestic and cute.
Rockruff's evo's forms' aren't version exclusive tho, it all depends whether you evolve it during the day or during the night
I'm getting both games, I'm sold on both Arrowl and Poppmaid. Hoping if split we get a non shit Litten3. I don't care if it's bipedal just give me something better.
>>28627945
They are, the day and night part was mistranslation.

600 bst?
>>28627872
Doubt it
Tbh at best, I can see it having a 530 BST.
That'd already be good enough and even better if distributed accordingly
>>28627872
Why does anyone care about the total?
>>28627898
>at best
Arcanine, Florges, and Volcarona all have BST in the 550's range. This thing probably will be up there too, given how they're making such a big deal of it.
Arcanine and Volcarona are both "legendaries but not really" and Florges is the evolved form of the King's signature mon. Type: Null is gonna be special too.
