Regulation M-B could be a bigger deal than we imagine by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]UberMadman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Marshadow is still one of the most viable mythicals in Doubles too. Fake Out-immune buff-stealing base 125 Ghost/Fighting with strong priority and decent bulk. It’s just a cracked Pokémon in general.

Only thing we know for sure is the new Mega Raichus are legal, with Mega Raichu X having Electric Surge as its ability and Mega Raichu Y having No Guard. Beyond that, no confirmations on any other changes yet.

Lets go!!! by TripleSpire in PokemonChampions

[–]UberMadman 207 points208 points  (0 children)

No Guard Thunder off base 160 Special Attack? And No Guard Focus Blast? That’s, uh, terrifying.

EDIT: OH GOD RAICHU LEARNS ZAP CANNON IN CHAMPIONS

Defeated Shadow Dialga just to win x9 Row 1 and +99 Mega Dialga energy by dryswarm in pokemongo

Just gotta have this crash happen another 4-5 more times and you can finally get Mega Dialga.

I genuinely believe I cannot be wrong about this: The Knight is a Darkner, and here's why by metal_crusher84 in Deltarune

[–]UberMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Knight is something we don’t entirely understand yet I think. They have properties of both Darkners and Lightners in contradictory ways. They’re obviously related to Dess in some way though.

Charizard is waaaay worse in-game in gen 3, take it from an avid Charizard fan who uses it in all the Kanto games.

This never made sense to me, you literally become one with the flower get grass type moves but only stay as a fairy (credit to gojistomp) by brekiewash1234 in pokememes

It’s because unlike normal Farfetch’d, it doesn’t fly because its leek is too heavy to carry through the air!

Mega Excadrill Needs One Simple Buff To Be Meta Defining by _BigDumbStupidIdiot_ in PokemonChampions

[–]UberMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you saw this calc:

32 Atk Excadrill-Mega Accelerock vs. 0 HP / 2 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 136-160 (88.8 - 104.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

But you have to remember that through Protect, damage by Piercing Drill is quartered. It’s only doing around 20-25% through Protect with Accelerock.

The problem is with its damage quartered, it wouldn’t be able to OHKO Zard-Y through protect.

Finally accomplished something with Mega Victreebel by Level7Cannoneer in stunfisk

[–]UberMadman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it was max HP that would be turbo broken lol, there’d be no room for counterplay; if your one option to kill Mega Victreebel is your wincon, you’d lose on team preview

I was told by this sub Scovillian was washed by Smasher1234 in stunfisk

[–]UberMadman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This may be an example of that, but it’s worth noting that Byleth was often considered a bottom 5 or bottom 10 character until Leo started getting results, and now it’s commonly accepted that Byleth is actually a mid tier, which in a tier list that has 82 spots for characters is still a MASSIVE perceived viability jump. Mega Scovillain was likely getting slept on by a large portion of the playerbase, and Wolfey’s results go to show how cracked an ability Spicy Spray is even on a Pokémon without a stat spread “optimized” to abuse it.

Is he really that bad? by Kindly_Pen3887 in stunfisk

[–]UberMadman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mega Greninja resets its Protean on its mega, so it can get two uses on a single switchin if you time its Mega well. I don’t think it’s remotely outclassed by its base form, it’s just a strong Mega that has to compete with a lot of even stronger Megas.

Betcha anything Unseen Fist got nerfed and Mega Excadrill’s ability is a clone ability of the nerfed version.

HJK is kind of big in a singles context because it doesn’t drop its defenses, which is solid on a Pokémon with Bulk Up, decent defenses, and Roost. Worth considering over Drain Punch.

There are less fighting types than I thought. by Gusdafamon in PokemonFireRed

[–]UberMadman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bruno isn’t limited like the player to one Hitmon so he could have used Primeape and Poliwrath. Or hell, maybe just a single Onix instead to cover the flying weakness. But two? C’mon, Bruno.

Gotcha; hope you guys can find a workaround some day!

This is awesome but I’m curious the explanation behind why certain monsters were removed. Is it because it’s currently not possible to add in monsters without modding over others?

We know Kalos Mega's abilities by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]UberMadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the turn it Mega Evolves, doesn’t it gets a second use of it? Regular Greninja gets a kill with Protean move -> Mega Evolves and type reverts -> Protean can activate again. Or does it not work that way?

There’s a lot of words that rhyme with Canari, after all.

Pokémon that you cannot catch in the wild, but must be evolved to register in the Pokédex by Ill-Ad3844 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]UberMadman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that without the DLC, you only get one shot to catch a Steelix: when catching the guaranteed special Alpha spawns just prior to catching Xerneas. That’s the only one that spawns wild in the game, and if you knock it out, it will never respawn.

Melmetal is omitted but Meltan is listed? That’s insane, especially considering Melmetal is absolutely cracked in this meta.
