Did I miss something? I've been off this board for like

>>29711187
leaks happening right now

>>29711187
It's as slow and dense as molasses.

Someone's been playing through the game, and Rowlet & Dartrix have low speed and high HP. We're still waiting to see what it's stats are when it evolves.

Dartrix is slower than Quilladin.

>>29711187
Everyone is flipping their shit over Rowlett being slow even though starters never make it anywhere near the meta anyway and if you're worried about stats while just playing the singleplayer you've got bigger problems.

>>29711187
Dartrix is slower than Quilladin and Rowlet has between 25 and 40 base speed.

>>29711187
Dartrix is slower than Quilladin with zero IVs in speed.

>>29711216

oh...oh no

>implying trickroom doesn't exist

>>29711187
>off this board for like two hours

How about forever as a healthy life choice

>>29711261
>i-i-it'll be good in trick room guys!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>29711261
>inb4 its speed is too high to be viable in Trick Room while simultaneously being too low

>>29711261
That's what they said about camerupt and lots of gen V Pokémon before they went to hell

>>29711187
Every found out that Rowlet has 65-80 HP and like 25-40 Spe and think "muh starter parterns automatically makes Decidueye the Slow/Defensive Grass Starter. I say wait until we know its actual stats.

>>29711261
>I..it's good in trick room
The final defense of the shitmon. Now you know this hung is garbage

>>29711261
trickroom mons are shit. I'm still gonna pick the owl

thank god, i don't want rowlet to be froakie 2.0, pls be a total shitmon so no one will like it and best starter can stay pure

>>29711216
Source?

>>29711320
Honestly some Pokémon like Hoopa pull it off well. They're fast enough to outspend bulky fuckers and the like, and if you're against an opposing fast hyper offense team, click Trick Room.

It's sort of a counfounding but workable strategy

>>29711328
camerupt worked just not as well as other mega options like kanga which basically just worked in every team seriously fuck that thing

I'll still pick it because it's the only pretty starter in there.

>>29711376
Hoopa also has 600 BST (680 BST in Unbound forme).

Only a broken hidden ability can save Decidueye. But it will probably be Sniper because GF are retarded.

>>29711375
Quilladin with neutral nature and 0 speed investment with 0 speed IVs at lv17 has 24 speed

Dartrix with neutral nature and probably a little speed investment with probably > 0 speed IVs at lv17 has 23 speed

>>29711376
>a Mythical with fantastic stats is good

>>29711419
No, I mean, where did you see this? Did they leak the .cia already? I just woke up.

>>29711406
If it is Slow and Bulky, which you faggots just think it will be despite not knowing its stats, it could get Mimyuku's Disguse ability, which would be great it its trapping move and Toxic.

>>29711455
Nah, someone got a cart and was posting pictures. And they don't have homebrew so they can't post the .cia.

Someone just please link the leak post

>>29711482
>despite not knowing its stats
Oh yeah, it's going to completely flip from high HP and low Speed (which Dartix has) to a speedster. Totally.

>>29711221
fuck off. I don't play competitively and I worry about stats/natures/abilities. I must have spent the same amount of time both playing these games and choosing my in-game teams.

Dartrix looks like it should be slow though. Look at that thing. It doesn't look agile at all.

>>29711626
>Oh yeah, it's going to drop the flying type(which Rowlet has) for something else. Totally.

>>29711221

Infernape was OU before Smogbird happened, and both Blaziken and Greninja are banned to Ubers.

>>29711629
Then you're too prepared for a piss-easy game. Chill the fuck out.

>>29711221

>> Starters never make it anywhere near meta.

Gen IV - Infernape

Gen V - Infernape, Blaziken (banned), and Venasaur

Gen VI - Megazard, Blaziken (banned), and Greninja (Banned)

That's just for OU. Most of the starters do well in UU as well, and can even be run in VGC to some extent.

>>29712680
Gen VI has Serperior in OU too iirc

>>29711187
Some guy soft resetted for a 0 IV, slow nature 0 EV Rowlet and spamming pictures

>>29714282
It's neutral.

>>29712680
Here's the thing, those all have good stat allocations, good offensive types/good HA. Pretty much no starter would be OU without HAs or Megas.

>>29714322
>It's neutral
No proof.

>>29714549
look at the lack of colors on the stats.

>>29711261
Trick room is a meme. If it lasted longer than I'd buy it. Any mon that requires setting up before it's good is shit tier.
Prove me wrong protip you can't.

>>29714354
>Infernape

>>29714781
>What is any Setup Sweeper

>>29711626
Pokemon that drop one type for another entirely do have drastic stat changes.

see: nincada -> ninjask

>>29714798
Infernape hasn't been good since gen 4

>>29715657
That's just not true.

>>29715721
yeah, he was just... overshadowed

>>29712680
I thought Venusaur was in OU in Gen VI, or was the bird spam too much.

>>29715865
Well to be fair it says getting through that stage is a horrible thing for the pokemon and trainer. Who knows when it evolves it might explode into speed.

>>29717533
Mega Venusaur is OU.

>>29715865

Ok, Dumb question...

...Is "Gay" actually allowed when nicknaming your pokemon?

Genuinely Curious.

>>29715657
Only reason Blaziken is being used over him is Speed Boost.

Seriously, that is a broken ass ability.

>it's another bulky grass/ghost episode

Does it really matter if it has low speed? This thing is weak to a fuckton of priority moves anyway.

>>29717784
why does Megazard go on his list but not MegaVenusaur

>>29717873
Yes.
You can't trade it though.

>inb4 its HA autosets up a Trickroom
Straight to Ubers

>>29718364
metagame will be different. we don't know what threats will be common. if the same mons were the same threats in new gen, then yeah high speed wouldn't have made him quite as large a difference.

>>29711187
Give it a hidden ability that makes any physical move gain priority +1

>>29717586
>Who knows when it evolves it might explode into speed.
No, in fact it seems to get even more flustered.

The thing is, this piece of shit isn't even slow enough to make great use of Trick Room.

It's too slow to survive in a world of speed and too fast to work well with trick room.

>Competitive Pokemon
How pathetic.

>>29718625
>Posting on /vp/

Haha ok

"Its speed(Decidueye's) is astonishing" - Pokemon official website

ftfy
Misinterpretation can only get you so far.

>>29718793
>>29718841
>>29715865
>Its speed(Decidueye's arrows) is astonishing
>Learns Astonish
Sounds about right

>>29718449
Basically this but in general,

As soon as GF gets the great idea to give a slow bulky mon Trick room as ability and introduces an item to extend the duration it will be shot straight into ubers.

>>29718793
>>29718841
>>29720255
What do the japanese website say? I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mistranslation or an unusual interpretation.

>"Well, I don't know how to translate this line about Decidueye's arrows. Any suggestions?"
>"Hey, this line learns astonish. Just write "Its speed is astonishing" as a joke!"
>"I don't think that's a proper translation of it."
>"Just do it. Nobody gives a shit about pokedex entries anyway."
