So what's the point of exclusive Z-moves anyway? What the

>>30182600
Because the average age of the people playing this game is 12, and they love Pikachu.

>>30182600

>>30182600
because Malicious moonsault is fucking based fagwad.

The difference is primarina spirit bombs the enemy, snorlax gets powered up via Ebola and incineroar fucking drops onto the enemy.

>>30182680
>That horrible fucking grind to get pikachu to learn discharge/thunderbolt
Fuck this goddamn rat. I just want my surfing rat.

>>30182600
>Nobody's ever gonna use them anyway.
Yeah okay anon. That Catastrophe one helped me out so many times it's ridiculous.

>called Moonsault
>it's really a 810 splash

What did the translators mean by this?

>>30182600
Item clause, you mong

You can have Incineroar use Incinium and another Dark type use Darkium

>>30182954
It means normies can't into kayfabe.

>>30182835
Maybe if you didn't use a fucking shitmon you wouldn't have had difficulty problems to begin with.

>>30182954
It means they don't know shit about wrestling.

>>30183073
>Pikachu KOing everything with its Z-Move means I'm having a problem with the game

>>30183013
>More then one Z-Crystal on a team when you can only use one Z-Move per battle
Guess whose actually wrong faggo

>>30183013
You can only use 1 Z move per battle, kys

>>30183080
Maybe they just really like alliteration

>>30183165
>>30183150

not original anon, but he might have meant just using the item, not using the z-move

which still makes anon retarded, just in a slightly different way.

>>30182600
More power? It's Black Hole Eclipse's 160 vs Malicious Moonsault's 80.

Not running 2 z crystals for surprise KO

>>30183303
This. Signature Z moves have an increase in base power of 20-30 compared to their generic counterparts

>>30183323
That's the same as running Pixilate Hyper Beam for "Surprise KO".
Except even worse, because you lose an item.

>>30183437
But what if your Z moved ace gets killed before you could use it?

Or do Z moves have priority? Actual question.

>>30183586
Only certain z moves have priority, most dont

>>30183615
Oh, well then it almost justifies having two of them on two different pokémon. It's a bad choice but at least not completely wrong.

Where could I see how they're being used competitively? Smogon boards?

>>30182600
>And why did they have to waste THREE of them on the fucking Pikachu line? Nobody's ever gonna use them anyway.

If the Z-Crystals specific to Pikachu functioned like the Light Ball, then I would've been cool with it.

>>30183722
Nah, not even smog on has a clue about gen 7 comp play yet.

>>30182802
>grinded to get Pikachu
>managed to get it a Light Ball
I really hesitated using that Thunderstone.

Which is stronger: Sinister Arrow Raid, or Never-Ending Nightmare using Spirit Shackle as its base?

>>30183875
On a somewhat related note
>expected to have to take forever finding a thick club for marowak
>second cubone I catch just has one

>>30183227
Ranked battles allows you to have options. 3v3 battles yo

>>30183303
>160 is somehow lower than 80

>>30183988
Regular Z-moves seem to generally increase a move's power by just below 2 times, so I'm pretty sure arrow raid is stronger. I would imagine that's the case for most of the "signature" Z-moves.
