Hyper Beam no longer needs to charge if it knocks out the opponent. How does the meta change?
>>32556842
It's still be passed in favour of coverage.
>>32556842
porygon-z banned to AG
>>32556842
Does this also encompass Giga Impact and other recharge moves?
>>32556863
then greninja would need another tier above AG because hydro cannon spam
Greninja
Protean
Choice Specs
>Blast Burn
>Hydro Cannon
>Frenzy Plant
>Hyper Beam
'no'
>>32556842
Anything with a normal converting ability would gain a serious edge. They'd need power to 110 if you're lucky though
>>32556879
>Battle Bond Hydro Cannon Memefrog
im not sure i want this
>>32556842
Changes a bit. The'll be a lot more Choice Band/Specs Pokemon running around.
>-1 252+ Atk Choice Band Rhyperior Rock Wrecker vs. 252 HP / 216+ Def Landorus-Therian: 226-267 (59.1 - 69.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Yeah, that reminds me... sorry for massively derailing this thread.
>>32556842
Dialga goes from +B to A.
It has a high enough chance to OHKO (after rocks and without specs/life orb):
>Primal Ground
>Ho-oh
>Yveltal
>Mega Sableye
Flash Cannon/Thunderbolt/Fire Blast to RoT into:
>Lunala
>Primal-Kyogre
>Most Arceus forms
>not mentioning that being mean leads to the bad end
>>32557614
So does the game actually punish cruelty?
>>32556842
>all those choice sets on mons with -ate abilities
>>32556842
People run Hyper Beam M-Gardevoir for sure.
>>32557879
Then maybe she won't be completely outclassed by Lele.
>>32556842
Go watch some Gen1 battles; this is literally how hyper beam worked back then
>>32557875
Only 2 -ate users can hold scarf, which are both slow rock types.

So nothing changes?
>>32556842
Lillie is replaced by Sylvie. How does SM change?
>>32562074
Nothing because I want to pat both of their heads
>>32556842
Sylvie no longer has giant awkwardly held claws. How does your opinion of her change?
>>32562039
Clean-up sweepers are better.
>>32556842
A few more normal types used, maybe some more fast sturdy pokemon with reversal
Giga Impact Mega Aerodactyl might be fun.All that [Deleted] tho
