Hidden power is horseshit. A universal move that allows pokemon to blow past their checks or even counters shouldn't exist.

You don't think that something like that helps balance a game like Pokemon? I certainly think it does. It keeps braindead OUfaggots on their toes.

>>31982163
Ive been of this opinion for a long time. Even worse are the ridiculous unlock requirements (if you can even call it that way) which only encourage people to hack

>They introduce a physical Hidden power
How does this change the meta?
>>
>>31982171
it only makes OU powerhouses even stronger
>>
>>31982178
This. HP is only great for special attackers. Physical attackers have nothing still.

Which is strange, because after the special/physical split, they created Giga Impact to serve as a physical version of hyper beam.

GF get your fucking act together. Also,
>still no Fairy type HP

It's to weak to be useful against anything but 4x weaknesses. And it's special-only.

It keeps cancer like Ferrothorn and Landorus-T in check. Honestly, most 4x weak pokemon that people pack HP for really deserve it, I think hidden power is necessary.
>>
>>31982882
>No HP Fairy
That would require a new type algorithm for the move which, you know, takes effort

your mother is a fucking whore

they should rework Hidden Power in general and Unown
>>
>>31982178
It's fucked desu. It's just fucked. Some things do not need that much fucking coverage.
>>
>>31982882
I always thought hidden power should behave in a similar way to the download ability:

>if the user's Atk is higher, HP calcs off the Atk stat and is considered physical
>if the user's SpA is higher, HP calcs off the SpA stat and is considered special
>If both Atk and SpA are in a tie, HP runs off the user's SpA

Dunno it just seems fair to me this way. No idea how to implement HP fairy tho.

i'll be blowing past your mothers cheeks if you know what i mean

Name 5(Five) Pokémon that would benefit from having HP Fairy.
>>
>get rid of hidden power
>grass types are even worse
>>

Its best usage would be against Dark/Dragons, Dark/Fightings or Dragon/Fightings like Scrafty, Hydreigon, Pangoro, Guzzlord, Kommo-o. Which are both innumerous and rarely encountered in real battles. It would also require the Pokemon to not be able to learn Dazzling Gleam, and most of the Pokemon threatened with Pursuit trapping from the Darkies are Psychics or Ghosts that can learn it through TM.
>>
>>31982163
"Universal" You know it has very specific uses only though right? And it fucks over Pokémon that have barely any weaknesses already as is, like Ferrothorn and Landorus-T. It's not unbalanced at all.

Also, for retards saying there should be a physical version, physical sweepers don't even need them because they are by default more powerful than special sweepers. There are more Pokémon with higher attack stat than special attack with overall higher numbers and everyone and their mother gets Swords Dance.

>>31983683

>>
>>31982163
You just got fucked over by getting hit by a 4x weak hidden power online, didn't you?
