Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So what youre saying... Is that its only double damage when the pokemon is hit by a physical move that makes contact? Like... The vast majority of physical moves?
It could very well be used to neutralize Mega's but considering the difficulty of setting it up (negative priority) and maintaining it you could very well just use Trick Room and bitchslap them before they move considering most are looking to have good speed.
Don't those abilities specifically say "contact" in their ingame descriptions? This one says "physical moves" implying that it works with all of the "Physical" category of attacks.
Wow. Most situational ability ever? I mean, even Damp has some occasional use. But this? Unless it's a passive ability, it requires you to team up Flabébé with a Grass type in a Double or Triple battle, and even then it's shaky at best. It would have been a tad better if partner Grass types couldn't have their stats lowered, period (Leaf Storm galore!), but at the moment...
Since the leaks are getting so many and it's hard to keep track of them, I'm going to compile all currently known leaks here in this post. Needless to say, there will be spoilers ahead, but you shouldn't be looking at this thread if you don't want spoilers. '~' Warning: Pictures are HUGE.
I doubt it is something that severe.
It's just a rock that brings out the hidden potential in a pokemon.
Is it true that Mega Stones also boost stabs by 20% like those items for Dialga and Palkia?
I thought I read it somewhere but I don't remember where. If it's true then it morethan compensates for the lack of a held item.
About Mega Obamasnow, those attack stats are killer good and the defences aren't bad either.
