Was the update being on the same day as the anniversary of NEXT's conception intentional?
Did some testing. Galvantula is indeed rejected if it has compound eyes. Also, Genesect is nature locked into Hasty in NEXT. While testing Flygon, I found Sand Rush + bite (naturally learned move) is fine, while Sand Rush + body slam (a move from before gen 4) is not allowed.I don't know if this is the right place to report bugs, but I have found some compatibility problems with some moves for flygon using Sand Rush (not sure if intended). Another problem is that Galvantula is rejected if used with Compound Eyes. (sorry for my bad english, its not my first language)
Yeah, echoed voice is a bit weird right now. As I said above, both hits go through protect, but the second hit seems to always be normal.I was playing NEXT and mega gardevoir's echoed voice went through my ninjask's protect on turn 6 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gennextou-101159220
Wouldn't that be broken?Make Mega launcher give a boost to Bomb, Pulse, Bolt, Beam, Wave, Blast, Sphere, etc. You get the idea. Also, make Magmotar get Mega Launcher it makes sense and it'd be fun.
Magician does need something of a buff. Some ideas:Temporaryanonymous I'd say Magician needs to be buffed massively. Ideas for that?
Yeah. Lower the damage reduction on armor. I'm in favor of this.We might want to nerf Shell Armor a bit anyway (1/8 -> 1/10); isn't it already a bit on the overpowered side?

Plus, Aura Sphere is already boosted in regular PS.
I meant having Mega Launcher boost Blast, Bomb etc. moves makes it broken, not Mega Launcher Magmortar- That is awesome.How would it be broken? Magmortar's not a very good Pokemon.
Wynaut give Chesnaugh Rough Skin? It's body is quite spikey, or maybe even Iron Barbs.Are there any ideas/thoughts on NEXT abilities for the gen 6 starters?
I can see Greninja getting pickpocket, as it fits into its role of a thief archetype. It's very thematic (although I doubt people will ditch protean for it).
Delphox can get something like magic guard. It'd definitely be more appreciated than magician, and it fits in the role of a wizard.
The problem I see is with Chesnaught. Chesnaught is a UU tier pokemon that's a good defensive pokemon. Shell armor fits thematically and mechanically well with it, but I'm worried that it might be a bit too much. Chesnaught with 1/8 damage reduction per hit combined with leftovers and its ability to subseed sounds a bit too bulky. And if it's behind a sub, even something like Fly/Bounce won't affect it too much since the crit is blocked.
1/9 for shell armor?Temporaryanonymous I'd say Magician needs to be buffed massively. Ideas for that?

What about making Magician a Psychic Gale Wings?Temporaryanonymous I'd say Magician needs to be buffed massively. Ideas for that?

What moves in particular?I meant having Mega Launcher boost Blast, Bomb etc. moves makes it broken, not Mega Launcher Magmortar- That is awesome.
I didn't really see the point of this at first, but I can definitely see this being used. Delphox can use this with power herb and solarbeam, and white herb with overheat. Furthermore, Klefki also gets a bit of use with this. It can recycle red cards to facilitate phazing and breaking momentum, and it pairs nicely with Klefki's spikes.My idea was for Magician to act as a Recycle on-switch-out. So sort of like Harvest except once-per-switch-out and works for non-Berry items.
Not quite sure how to fix those.Also, a few other things:
Genesect forms (Genesect itself is legal, but becomes illegal if it has a drive) and compound eyes are illegal right now. I assume this is a glitch?
There are some abilities still unreleased (Legendary dogs, legendary birds, gen 2 & 5 starters, Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Aurorus)
Confusion mechanics are a bit wonky, as a pokemon that faints from the self hitting still attacks before fainting: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/gennextou-112389068
Are items like Fire Gem and Custap berry going to be added back in or no?
