WHY
>>31687852
the original 3 would be a lot better of they only had access to a reliable form recovery. They rely too much on leftovers and rest. If Registeel got Regenerator as a HA or perhaps just Recover, it would probably see some usage in OU as a hard counter to Tapu Lele.
>>31687897
i actually had a little spreadsheet that calculates this and how stages/evs reflect for base stats. like, for how many evs you match a higher base stat or with 0 evs and so many stages you match max evs and some other base stat.
soul dew used to be absolutely ridiculous

I'm pretty sure it was an event-only item, and has historically always been banned from battle facilities. No idea about VGC, though.
>>31687752
100 speed isn't good. If you're outsped by garchomp, you can't usually make it as a speedy sweeper in OU, especially as a mega that can't hold a scarf.
>>31687987
>>31688000
So it's like twistedspoon + dragon fang now, uh
>>31687752
But they do. It was BL but eventually became OU last gen once people realized how ridiculously good it is.
It's currently unused because the mega stone is unreleased.

>>31687752
It's flaws are heavier than its pros:
Pros:
- It has the second highest Attack stat thanks to Pure Power.
- High Jump Kick OHKOs anything that doesn't resist it.
- Zen Headbutt pairs well with High Jump Kick and can make flinch the opponent.
- It has the strongest Fake Out in the game.
Cons:
- Its Speed is average at best with 100.
- Sadly, only its Attack and Speed are the only good about it. Its others stats are bad even with the boost.
- Fairy-types everywhere makes its life hard.
- Anything faster can make heavy damage on it.
- High Jump Kick and Zen Headbutt have 90% accuracy and High Jump Kick comes with the terrific recoil of losing half of your HP.
- Its movepool is lacking, only having Elemental Punches and Fake Out for covering.
I have one in Y and although it is a good Mega it is also one of the hardest to use perfectly.
>>31688305
R u dumb
The answer is yes
>>31688311
Uh. Type null is actually pretty decent. If only it had parting shot...
Ok so I guess this is the best place to ask this since it always messes me up: by how much do the stats increase more exactly, the value that's added in general for stuff like >>31687519 or >>31688277 when Eviolite is factored.
How do you do the calcs?

>>31689457
speaking of bees, how's Adaptability M-Beedrill?
arceus with +6 everything :^)
>>31688551
the tl;dr version is that eviolite, abilities etc. multiply the end result of the stat, not the base stat. This means that Huge Power doesn't just turn a base 50 attacker into a base 100 attacker, it takes
a base 50 attacker with 31 IVs and 252 EVs
and turns it into
a base 100 attacker with 62 IVs and 504 EVs
I assume there's some rounding differences, but that's why the base stats don't just go to 2x or 1.5x
>>31687832
Slow Start now lowers the attack and speed stages by 2, but speed and attack increase 1 stage every turn afterward. Would this give Regigas hope?
>>31689528
wew lad
>>31689552
This. Doubling a stat with max Evs and IVs give you the original time 2 plus 49
>>31688271
Funny, its base stats then add up to exactly 600

>Toxapex was the psuedo all along.

Back then most walls didn't have recovery and stats played a larger role on your tanking ability than typing.
Also, Explosion.
Just more victims of the split and powercreep.
>>31688121
Still good, too bad that it's better to just use a Z-crystal.
>>31690304
Well Venoshock is just a nice 130 bp move that a merciless Toxapex will be abusing anyways, there's not really a set bp move to compare it against, but its special attack is the same as Protean Greninja, so Merciless Venoshock Toxapex against a poisoned foe is the slightly more powerful than Protean Greninja with Gunkshot
Of course, this is only true of the opponent is poisoned.

>>31690644
>using electricity on a ground type
>>31690699

Yeah I realized that that's kind of impossible. Sorry.
How about >>31691058's as Solid Rock with Sand and Eviolite and then one that swaps Eviolite with AV?
>>31691168
There's no reason to do the second one because Eviolite is literally Assault Vest with an additional boost to Defense AND no move restrictions on top of that. The Special Defense boost is going to be the same either way.
And Rhydon doesn't get Solid Rock, only Rhyperior does.
>>31691168
>solid rock
>rhydon
???
>>31691189
>>31691191
Rhydon doesn't Solid Rock?
>>31691203
It gets Rock Head, Lightning Rod, and Reckless.AND NO HEAD SMASH GAME FREAK WHY REEEEEEE
>>31691203
No it doesn't. Like the guy you just quoted already said, only Rhyperior does.
>>31691217
>>31691230
Huh, all this time I thought it got that.
But yeah why does it not get Head Smash? It has two abilities that bank on moves like that
>>31689024
That's not how it works anon, it would be less. Usually it would be half the defense/spdefense but it would be 3/4
>>31691294
>But yeah why does it not get Head Smash?
Fuck if I know, it's literally the only move in existence that works with those abilities that Rhydon would get STAB on. As it stands, all three of Rhydon's abilities are borderline useless on it.
Also:
>Geodude
>literally just a head
>gets Rock Head
>doesn't get Head Smash
>Aerodactyl
>gets Rock Head
>gets shit like Iron Head by level-up
>doesn't get Head Smash

>>31691058
>>31691168
Rhydon is much better defensively but Rhyperior is has much stronger Special Defense due to the HP increase and has Solid Rock which isn't reflected in the stats.
>>31688767
Wrong. Gallade received the biggest buff from the mega evolution speed buff. 110 speed tier is amazing, only problem is it ties with Mega Metagross. It has very decent bulk (not as good as metagross) allowing it to survive an attack and set up. If it were released right now, swords dance Gallade would be everywhere, its got priority moves just like MM, but has a much stronger stab in the form of close combat. And I think the defensive typing is better than metagross since it isn't dying from an earthquake from every single OU pokemon.
>>31692049

Ironically Alola introduces Wishiwashi as commonly edible and tasty, Corsola are referred to as eaten by a Mareanie, Bruxish pokedex entry says it eats Shellder, Pallosand literally eats people, Shiinotic consumes lost humans
It seems Alola is the most edible generation
>>31693259
yeah but the pokedex, as cool as it can be at times, is proveablly inaccurate bullshit a lot of the time. So it's hard to pick and choose entries taht support this vaguely established lore.If you think too hard, you're going to find loopholes.
>>31693163
The Indian Elephant one is really your only valid point, and they even changed the terminology on that at times by saying Raichu's power can knock down even a "formidable foe."
The bees in Vespiquen's animations are stated in the dex to be underdeveloped Combee.
Not to mention the dex explains that Basculin, Wishiwashi, among other mons are perfectly edible.
Also, Farfetch'd was only ever stated to be audible in the anime, and that's also the only place real fish showed up. Don't confuse canons.
>>31693259
Predation has always been noted in the Pokedex, the new SM entries just have a lot of examples.

Pokedex entries have always portrayed things that are pretty dark and strange, especially for a kid's game. Most notably half the ghost type entries and the Kadabra one. Of course none of this shit is actually portrayed in game or in the anime because you can get away with a lot more shit in the dubious and often forgotten text bestiary compared to regular gameplay or a children's cartoon.
>>31693082
In addition to the real animal discussion,
>Does India even exist?
There are a lot of things in the Pokemon games that reference real world location. Most notably the journals in the Pokemon Mansion mention Brazil and I believe the various museums in several of the games references some real world locations and other real things. I believe the gen 1 games had something about the space shuttle Columbia.
>>31695767
Gen I said that Mew was found in Guyana also. They changed it in the remakes though.
