Why are physical Ghost-types attacks so underrated? They have priority in Shadow Sneak, good STABs in Shadow Claw and Phantom Force.
Also underrated move categories thread.

I should say not great, plus the other stab is a 2 turn attack. Not even that strong like solarbeam
>>
>>27940328
They have fucking horrible STAB you retard. No usable attack over 70 BP is absolutely atrocious. You're better of using Knock Off on physical ghosts like Banette.
How does it feel knowing that rainbow Greninja will not be confirmed tomorrow?

Even if it's not confirmed tomorrow, it's only a matter of time before it is coz it is definitely appear in the game.

Instead of gen 4 remakes we should have a sequel tying in arceus and unknown together have you travel to johto in the post game and explore ruins of alph have the final boss be type ??? Arceus and when you capture it it becomes regular.

The remakes should work similar to ORAS.
What I mean with this is that they should have the story of the Box Legendary with some expansion, maybe with a new form or something, but after fighting/capturing it you are taken to the Distortion World where you get the Platinum plot.
In the post game, there should be an Arceus Episode with new characters and explanations that gets you Arceus for the first time as an in-story legendary.
I also wish they'd tie Darkrai to the story and Cresselia in some way. Gen 4 legendaries are too great to leave as event only.

Can we discuss the cost-benefit relations of hp, def and sdef?
What's worse, huge hp + poor defenses (Wigglytuff, Wailord) or huge defenses without hp (dusknoir, dusclops)? What's the optimal defensive spread in terms of defensive base stats? Let's say you have 150 base stats points to distribute in hp, def and sdef what's the optimal spread?

It depends on the severity. The likes of Shuckle can function despite having 20 hp and 230 defenses because the defenses outstrip the offensive stats of literally all pokemon. Mix with his awkward typing and he's in good shape.
Meanwhile Deoxys-D, while bulky is not incredibly durable in the long run because his defenses aren't higher than all offensive stats from the get go, and he has a vulnerable typing.
Generally speaking though, Health = Def + SpDef. This is why most bulk builds dump EVs into HP instead of into the defenses first.

>The likes of Shuckle can function despite having 20 hp and 230 defenses because the defenses outstrip the offensive stats of literally all pokemon
It really, really, really doesn't. The only string to Shuckle's bow is being able to set up Spider Web without dying to a lgiht breeze, but that doesn't make it good.
>>27940201
It's all largely moot unless you start off with this:
>Can the Pokémon easily heal up?
If not, then it doesn't matter, it will be a shit defensive Pokémon.

>>27940875
...Are you serious? Shuckle dying to a light breeze? You're joking, right?

We won't have Mega Evolutions, just Z-Evolution, which we won't see any of until next month like how we saw Megas for XY two months prior to release

Megas are in the game (post-game only, though) and there are no new ones.

The creator of Pokemon's favorite Pokemon is Poliwag. I'm pretty sure he choose what Pokemon to use in the beginning.

The Pokedex says Pokemon evolve.
