Sheer Cold

>>29879601
Do Fissure work with No Guard?

interesting

GF actually balancing ohko moves with quick claw? THe actual fuck?

>>29879619
God I hope so just for the fuckery of it

>>29879619
>>29879642
Yes. I hit all my ohko moves except for dumb mistakes like sheer cold on weavile and horn drill on ghost oricoro.

>Machamp
Use No Guard Ninjask instead. Or maybe Pheromosa nowadays.

>>29879619
Well since he used most OHKO moves on his Champ >>29879612 I guess ?

>>29879619
>>29879642
It does.

>>29879671
Thank god GF allowed it to work with No Guard. Machamp has been in a desperate need for a buff for so long. This will help Machamp significantly.

Did they think that this justified bringing back Sheer Cold Suicune?

>>29879700
I think they're just hitting Smeargle with another nerf and forgot about Suicune and Kyogre.

>>29879667
Pkhex doesn't allow illegitimate abilities, unless I haven't tried hard enough.
If you want the fastest no guard user for battle tree/royal spam, just use a permanent mega pidgeot with focus stash.

>>29879692
OHKO moves are banned in every remotely respectable format. it'll only help you against in game shitmons and hax maison or its replacement

And then expect everything to run sturdy in the latter

So the remaining pokemon the hax maison can select are limited to a bunch of a shit tier mons?

Great!

Interesting how GF is giving a bunch of small boosts to ice types in this generation, as they want to "test the waters" and see if they end up becoming too OP if they're too generous.

>>29879749
I believe you just need to rename the exe PkHaX to get any ability. Not sure if that still applies.

>No guard OHKO Machamp
>When Brave Bird just got absolutely murdered

>>29879919
You know No Guard is a double edged sword right? And when was the last time Machamp heavily influenced the meta? I doubt they'll even let it in official competition

>>29879982
>You know No Guard is a double edged sword right?

Much more for your opponent than for you. Opponents are very unlikely to choose low accuracy moves, so you are in a position to benefit from them much more.

N-N-NANI?

Is Fissure/No Guard Machamp from ability capsules going to be possible?

Are ability capsules in the game?

>You know No Guard is a double edged sword right?
Why do people feel the need to repeat this all the time. Yes it's a double edge sword but the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives.

>>29880044
Ability Capsules never switch Pokemon to Hidden Abilities, only between the two regular Abilities a Pokemon may have (i.e. Effect Spore/Poison Heal for Breloom, Guts/No Guard for Machamp)

>>29879612
This has gotta be hacked, right? Still, who would do this? Looks incredibly boring.

>>29879601
Thanks fuck.
Cryogonal getting frozen to "death" would be amazingly stupid, even for game freak standards.

>>29879692
>Machamp has been in a desperate need for a buff for so long.
What?

>>29880117
>Does no guard still work with ohko moves?
>How could I possibly test that?
I had choice scarf on the machamp and weavile was the first pokemon I saw, so of course I tried sheer cold.

>>29880147
Yeah Sheer Cold affecting ice types never made sense.

Anyways we can consider this a buff to ice types more than a nerf right?

It always bothered me how RestTalk Kyogre was the best user of the move (without considering hacks or bans).

Once Japan finds this out, GF is totally making it so gen 1 mon from RBY always have their HA. Maybe this is part of why they are waiting until January to allow importing.

Hypnosis is already rampant. If this does rise in popularity, as it inevitably will if indeed allowed, then you can adapt and prepare for it. You can shut it down.

Fool's hope but maybe the slow build up of hype from Pokken, to the worlds senior division, the official Machamp website and the abundance of Machamp in alola will make it popular enough to japs to warrant it to push through

>>29880256
Take a look at what mons we have got in this gen. It's pretty clear they don't care and OHKO moves are banned in VGC anyway so they hardly even care, which is why Scald and ST haven't been nurfed.

>>29880205
I know No Guard works with OHKO moves, but Machamp doesn't learn Sheer Cold, right?

>>29880299
ohko moves are not banned in vgc

>>29880319

No but he learns fissure in gen 1.

have you fought Grimsley or Colress?

Colress

Porygon-z, Metagross, Klinklang
Metagross, A-Muk, Magnezone
Electrode, Porygon 2, Magnezone

I actually lost to the Porygon 2 Colress at battle 10.

>>29880456
Just inject it :^)

It's odd they are allowing RBY pokemon at all considering how many glitches there are. With Charizard M glitch you can fuse pokemon such that one pokemon receives the moveset and stats of another one, the stats correct when it evolves so you can have any pokemon with any moveset. You also can create your own shinies by trading the red gyarados from G/S back to red/blue and fusing it with the unevolved form of whatever you want as shiny. Also charizard M acts as the "stop reading here" code so I wonder how Su/Mo will see it.

>>29879892
Even with fairy, dragon still isn't nerfed enough. Ice is still weak, and an indirect additional nerf to dragon so buf it and hope we fix two problems at once.

Makes sense.

Pokebank has a legality checker for XYORAS, why wouldn't it have one for RGBY?

Reminder that even with No Guard Fissure;

>Smogon has banned OHKO moves
>VGC is infested with Flying/Levitate Pokemon
>Battle Tree will start spewing out Flying/Levitate/Sturdy Pokemon just to fuck you over

Although, the lack of good Flying/Levitate Pokemon in Alola means it could see some use in VGC17... but oh wait, that requires the Pokemon to explicitly be from Alola (or in other words, have the Black Plus).

Sorry, Machamp. Maybe next time.

It won't even be VGC legal because of the native-only rule

>>29880609
Clearly, you dont know half the Machamp fags. Personally, I dont think No Guard Fissure will make Machamp a meta powerhouse. I just want it for the fuckery in casual battles with friends.

And you're right. There are A LOT of ways to go around it these days, it's far from broken

>>29880609
Hopefully they allow RBY pokemon to be an exception to the rule and they're allowed into VGC17 as a thank you to Gen 1.

>>29880609
For the Battle Tree you don't have to use only Machamp. Start off with a good hazard setter, for example.

>>29880609
>>29880700
Pretty sure the second part of their VGC announcement says that RBY mons will be allowed in the next serie.

>>29879715
>>29879763
Machamp gets fissure? Since when

>>29880695
Yes it does. Remember when everyone went nuts because Hoopa-U fucked too much with stall?
With Fissure Machamp doesn't even need to invest ivs in its Atk. Hell, it can run a negative nature.

>>29880739
Gen 1

>>29880752
That's only if smogon makes an exception for machamp+fissure since it is no longer an rng mechanic.

>>29880769
Then why's everyone talking about it now if it was possible before?

>>29880788
No Guard didnt exist until Gen 4, you newfag

>>29880788
Not with No Guard newfag

>>29880788
Machamp only gets it in the original Red/Blue/Yellow, and this is the first gen where you can trade up from those games.

>>29880713
Sturdy makes you immune to OHKO moves regardless of HP

>>29880833
What about the F. Sash? Is that the thing that only lets you hanging with 1hp?

>>29879619

Theoretically, it should. I bought Red on the 3DS just to test this out once the new Pokebank update goes live.

>>29880788

Abilities didn't exist until gen 3 and Machamp didn't get no guard until gen 4.

>>29880819
Oh shit. I automatically assumed you could transfer through every game

What other things are possible now?

>>29880854
Just fucking inject

>>29880852
yes, Sturdy only got the focus sash effect in gen 5, before that it was just Fissure/Guillotine/Horn Drill/Sheer Cold immunity

>>29879601
>guillotine / horn drill unaffected to ghost
>fissure unaffected to flying / levitate fucks
>sheer cold unaffected to ice
Fuck this. What's the point of ohko moves if you can't touch every Pokémon. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>29881051
Use odor sleuth or foresight to hit a ghost, or a type changing move like soak.

>>29879601
Does Fissure affect Ground types?

>>29881177
Yes

>>29881177
x2 when they are digging

>>29880885
>Oh shit. I automatically assumed you could transfer through every game

I forget that underage didn't experience the disappointment of knowing you couldn't trade between Gen 2 and 3.

>tfw your Articuno won't be murdered by AI Walrein anymore

>>29882477
That's why gen III will forever be worst gen.

>>29880399
>RBY Pokemon will only be allowed under special circumstances
where does it say that?

>>29880335
Fissure Machamp is, only Clover Pokémon for VGC.
Clover is SM Pentagon.

>>29882676
I always assume they mean this as the VC roms eventually will be able to port into the bank and therefor into SM, but they'll ave some sort of added restriction

because such a feature would incentives more people to buy the rom.

>>29879601
Simple question.
Does Fissure pass down through breeding? So you can make a native No guard machamp.

>>29883391
nope

>>29880885
>I automatically assumed you could transfer through every game
Underage pls.

No Guard Fissure was pretty much the only thing that wasn't previously legal due to move tutors in FRLG teaching all the important moves that were previously TMs. I guess you could do a gimmick set with Mew and Pay Day or something

>>29880752
Sturdy, Levitate, Flying types, Sash, Balloon, etc
