    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Going off of my Festival Plaza rant a few pages back, I hope Gamefreak understands how shit Global Missions are, simply due to the way progression is tracked. The latest mission is probably going to fail with less than 50% of the goal reached, after the disaster of the first was barely like 20%...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I hate the Festival Plaza. I loved Join Ave from BW2 and expanding that concept would have made a lot of people super hyped. Instead, it is one of the clumsiest and poorly implemented features that ever made it into a main series game. It seems like every single time Gamefreak takes one step...

    I got it from a random internet giveaway, but I've grown to be very fond of +SpD Celesteela and would continue to use it over other variants.

    Sun / Moon In-Game Tier List

    Proposing Sandygast to go down a tier. I used it for my in-game run and it's pretty awful. - arrives at the very end of Akala Island, meaning that it'll be a bit underleveled if you immediately move onto Ula'ula afterwards. You need to backtrack in order to farm any XP on it - Hano Beach and...

    Pokémon Mudsdale

    Milk Drink. The other two mons that get it are hooved farm animals, the first time you encounter Mudbray in the game is in fact the same route with Tauros/Miltank on a farm. Male Gogoat get it too so it's not even an issue of gender. Horse milking is traditionally associated with Central Asian...

    Anyone had success with bulky Arcanine? Good Fire types are in very short supply, and with all the Steels, Fairies, and Bugs running amok, they are needed more than ever. I'm focusing my efforts on in-game and not playing much, but would love opinions: Arcanine @ Leftovers Intimidate Calm 252...

    https://twitter.com/JoeMerrick/status/799496490049826816?lang=en If you want Megas in VGC '17, go play the in-game ladder before it gets patched up. GF forgot to ban them on the VGC ladder. If you don't want to play against Megas, avoid it and play on Showdown for now. Or enjoy the storyline.

    Special Season 1: Alola, Solgaleo and Lunala!

    Well if you want to 1v1 against Lunala, standard Weakness Policy Aegislash seems to be a good option because it can OHKO through Shadow Shield. You have to be very careful on taking chip damage because Moongeist Beam calcs cut it close. 252+ SpA Aegislash-Blade Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD...

    Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Kommo-o Discussion

    The only thing I really have to say about this is that Soundproof is clearly the superior ability out of all its choices, notably being able to block Pixilate Hyper Voice as well as Boomburst (RIP Swellow, Chatot, and Exploud), Parting Shot, and acting a check to all the random Quiver Dancing...

    Celesteela Discussion

    Personally I would rather eschew Autotomize and go with a -Speed nature and use Leech Seed in its place. Not only does Leech Seed allow Celesteela to have incredible staying power due to its typing and bulk, but Fire Blast is also better vs potential checks on Tapu Bulu teams or in doubles where...

    Here's some videos: The differences are noticeable but minimal. If you want an excuse to upgrade, then go ahead; it really depends on how much you value minor performance differences. I actually went out and bought a N3DSXL yesterday after watching those videos. I suggest making your...

    [SPOILERS] Battle Spot in Gen 7 Discussion - News, Speculation & Leaks

    [SPOILERS] Battle Spot in Gen 7 Discussion - News, Speculation & Leaks

    It's banned in VGC (aka the special ladder) from datamined information. We don't know if it's allowed on the regular BS ladders because the PGL is down for maintenence, so even people with leaked copies of the games cannot access Battle Spot.
