M-Kangaskhan is literally the reason this is happening.
>>29312927
Why do megas ruin everything?
would it not pass to the baby if you bred a transfered kangaskhan with a ditto? or does it not work like that
>>29312971
If it's an Egg Move, yes, but I don't think it is.
finally we might not have a trash metagame in vgc.
>>29312982
It's not
>>29312927
It was a smart move on their part.
>>29312927
That's a step in the right direction. Hope Smeargle is next to be nerfed and Gen 6 Pokémon are not allowed anywhere outside Battle Spot, so people just won't transfer those cancerous mons next year
>>29313027
Smeargle is already going to be nerfed with Tapu Koko.
Wouldn't be surprised if we get a Misty Terrain auto-setter too.

>flash and rock smash removed
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
>>29313084
I don't think so.
We did get a new terrain called Psychic Terrain though. That's probably the pink Tapu's ability.
>>29313084
every team having to use tapu koko is not a nerf anon. a nerf would be not allowing smeargle to use dark void at all, like what happens with they hyperspace move.
The most crushing one from this whole list is how they removed Dig TM for fucking leech life.
>>29313206
Leech Life being a TM now probably means it got a buff to bring it up to Giga Drain and Drain Punch's level.
>>29313206
It's been speculated that Leech Life's going to get buffed to the strength of Horn Leech.
>>29313193
It is a nerf, since they put another tool there to deter sleep-inducing since that's the main problem, not really Smeargle itself.
We have Safety Goggles for powder moves i.e. Spore, and we just got that in Gen VI. They're taking away from its use as a sleep-inducer while still leaving it as an option to make use of some other utility you may need.
