SOUL DEW NERFED TO 20% WHAT THE FUCK AHHHHHHHHH

goodbye ubers

>>29836788
maybe it'll be tournament legal now

Do you rike Megas now?

>>29836909
Seriously, bullshit.

>>29836788
It's banned in smogon anyways so it doesn't matter

Source? Thank fuck if it's true.

>>29836788
I am mad too, but at the same time it was banned from literally everything.
They really want use to enjoy the great MEGA SHINKA.
Fuck.

>>29836788
Maybe it'll actually stop being banned in VGC, and who knows, maybe even become available in-game? It puts Soul Dew'd Lati on roughly equal footing to the Mega versions.

>>29837144
Smogon doesn't keep bans from one game to the next except for 680 BST legends

>>29836788
is it a 20% stat boost or is it a copy of the griseous orb for psychic and dragon?

>>29837318
20% boost for dragon and psychic moves....

>>29836927
It wasn't illegal because it was OP, it was illegal because it was an event item.

>Yes, Soul Dew... If the Pokémon Latios or Latias holds it, the power of their Psychic- and Dragon-type moves will both go up by 20%.

It used to boost their Special Attack and Special Defense by 50%, now it's just their version of Dialga/Palkia/Giratina's orbs.

It was still banned in BW2.

>>29837566

Oh god damn it. All these balance changes are starting to annoy the shit out of me.

>>29837598
Just how Deoxys was banned in VGC16.

Oh cool soul dew can be legal now...but at what cost?

>>29837722

See

>>29837566

They made it worthless.

>>29837773

Moreso that they nerfed it so that it doesn't completely outclasses their Megas.

Latios will still prefer a Life Orb or Choice Specs over its Mega Stone, but now there's an actual reason to use Mega Latias.
