I hate everything and want everyone to die

>>30019961
Yes but
>105 on both defenses
>steel

>>30020111
Yeah steel bug with those stats is still super nice, don't know why those fags are complaining.

Meanwhile railgun fastdraw mgraw has nothing else but his sp.att and a shit movepool.

>>30019961
Why did they do this?

Why not just drop its SPA to 20 and give it 60 SPE? For balance? I don't fucking get it. Why make the lore and not follow it?

>>30020207
escavalier is slow because of gyro ball
giving it 60-70 speed wouldnt really make it any better, it still has no niche over the other bug/steels
leech life wouldve fixed that but gamefreak is retarded

Gen 7 is a master plan to phase trick room out of doubles.

>>30020402
>Make trick room even more mandatory
>Phasing it out
?

>>30020402
You mean reintroduce

Speed is for attack speed, not movement speed.

>>30020449
Can't reintroduce what never left and dominated the VGC.

>>30020437
No no, because all your opponents pokemon are unpredictably slow, it's no longer a sure thing. It lessens the advantage... maybe. GF makes bad decisions on not a lot of information.

>>30020482
>dominated the VGC
I don't follow comp but that sounds like bs

>>30020510
Primal+Trick Room=VGC 2015 AND 2016.

Maybe they think they're just giving people what they want and making more TR mon.

>>30019926
Maybe it needs to accelerate a bunch to reach such speeds.

>>30020465
>no priority

>>30019926
This guy was made for Speed Boost but it's locked into a single mediocre ability. It's not even weak to EQ and if you switch it on an EQ it's still slow as fuck and brittle as fuck so the next turn it's going to die before it even gets a chance to do anything.

>>30021994
SPEED BOOST WOULDVE BEEN THE SHIT ON THIS GUY
what were they thinking

>>30019926
It gets Agility so it's ok.

>>30022400
Hahaha! Oh wow!

>>30021994
>>30022239
Speed Boost would be shit. It would die before it got enough boosts to outspeed anything relevant.

>>30022565
Not in this meta. 77/90/75 defenses is enough to take a neutral hit, get a boost, and outspeed 75% of the decent pokemon in this current meta. If it can get 2 boosts it's unstoppable. But instead it has to lose a turn entirely for Agility.

>>30023035
It's like they went out of their way to make most of the pokemon terrible.

>>30019926
So there was no patch?
>>30020465
fuck off lolbabby

>it's also a boring as fuck game
I just beat Sophocles' challenge and I literally have not ran into a normal trainer that had more than 3+ mons. This is just ridiculously easy even for a Pokemon game.

>all these people complaining about low speed mons
>tfw I only use trick room teams

>>30023596
But then they'll throw a hard as fuck Totem mon at you out of fucking nowhere, like you're a piece of shit for not grinding in tall grass for 6 hours.

>>30023597
Your Trick Room team will be shit since EVERY new mon is slow as fuck, stupid.

>>30020192
don't forget shell armor

>>30020207
The slower it is the better, gyro ball and trick room are great on it

>>30019926
A number of pokemon stats dont make any sense, pretty every electric type should be speedy as fuck and have high level of special attack even if they are obviously strong like Electivire.

>>30023596
>>30023755
>it's too easy!
>it's too hard!

>>30023755
Totems are the only hard part of the game and you can win every Totem by just having your Muk spam Minimize.

>>30023850
Having very easy and very few trainer battles and then MUCH harder totem battles for no reason is not smart difficulty. It's like they realized late in development that the game was piss easy and decided to do the least amount of work possible to "fix" the problem.

>>30023755
I have had no problem with the Totem mons whatsoever because Litten has been shitting all over everything. I thought Totem Wishiwashi was going to be a problem but no he just used Soak on me so my typing disadvantage was completely gone, actually I had the advantage because it just kept using Water Gun on me even though I resisted it. Lurantis and Vikavolt were also fucking nothing since I just one-shot them using my Fire Z-move. Salazzle on the other hand was a bit of a hassle but 3 Bites and it was eating dirt.

>>30023905
Literally git gud

>>30020557
just wait until the DP remakes with primal dialga and its auto-trick room ability
gonna be fun for VCG

>>30023597
SAuce

>>30023905
Are you honestly having problems with totem battles? I'm pretty sure i 1HKO'd one of them with a shitmon.

>>30025143
This. I am absolutely astounded people had trouble with these things.

>>30025143
I'm not using the EXP Share.

>>30019961
please tell me she get leech life

>it's another /vp/ thinks the speed stat means actual speed

It's reaction time idiots

combat speed =/= sprinting speed

usain bolt can beat bruce lee in a race but will get outpaced and outmaneuvered in a fight

how hard is this to comprehend?

>>30025698
Then why would they use wording like "zips around"?

nfl players are great at speed ladder drills, have great lateral speed/turning speed, and overall can cut corners very well without losing much speed in a run

doesnt mean they can duck, bob and weave as well as a boxer
