The info about Z Mega Evolution posted for Lucario Z sounds like the main distinction is playing with a shorter duration and shorter move cast times/cooldowns, so I don't expect they're going to be THAT distinct from the original Megas that they change typing. I'd be curious what changes if...

I am of the opinion they allow all 3 evolutions to become Hydrapple as a 3rd stage, but with mild movepool variations based on the 2nd stage it evolved from (stat and abilities could be neat but that's assuming forms are on the table ala Lycanroc or OT Rockruff). Like, Hydrapple in Singles gets...

(I wrote this post Friday but it failed to post due to an internet outage. Pardon any retreaded talk like Starter distribution) Focus Blast has always felt like the most "for gameplay" move of the prominent lot to me, given how long it spent as a TM exclusive and remains a near-exclusive move...

If Skill Swap proves necessary, you could forgo Competitive for Frisk to pass it to Dragapult for Intimidate AI maybe. Another thing depending on coverage/move type is Tinkaton's Mold Breaker can allow it to debuff with Skitter Smack through Shield and Clear Body. Immunity to Dragon while...

Honestly I think the even simpler solution available was to make the debt something less liquid in-game. Like what if instead of Taunie/Urbain directly borrowing 100k (I'm not clear how that theoretically plays into them trying to improve their Phone-Reel ads), their antics interfered with Rust...

Annihilape also works well online as long as your lobby isn't quick-dying teammates. It's self-sufficient and survivable, so the main concern is they don't eat the Clock. I'm running RF/Focus Energy/Screech, not sure if there's a better 4th move option available.

I'm on level 73, my hardest task is finding Max Moves I want to upgrade, even if willing to burn the Particles. The others happen without much hassle. I just swapped to an excited 1 KM buddy like Magikarp once the Candy Task was the only one I had left to do. Level 73 has a task to walk 200km...

Being correct about Ogerpon-W remaining OU doesn't suddenly make the unban campaigns or desire to suspect Alomomola and Ting-Lu any less absurd. One relatively-green player making a fearful proposal doesn't have any effect on how agreeable your own controversial ones are. More than just...

When I said continued presence, I was referring to the fact nothing's been done with it that doesn't feel like trying to redo the Lucario pattern (throw the SM anime appearance on the pile where it's just some dude's partner Pokemon), something there's already a precedent for trying at with...

Reposting this rant I had about Zeraora in another thread, goes to the ZA General Discussion so potential spoiler warnings for that game if you follow it.

Are we still trying to make Zeraora a thing? I have been ambivalent to this thing since Gen 7 and its continued presence as the equivalent of an Industry Plant has only embittered me to it more over time. I can't stand its design, its stat line is both boring and ineffective (wow, a glassy...

The existence of Gigantamax for NFE Pokemon (both at the time and retroactive in Duraludon's case) already kind of sets a fine enough precedent for "new evolution, it just doesn't use the mechanic" Technically the Megas would still be "stronger" Super Modes if that's a concern, unless the one...

Sap Sipper is indeed immune to Worry Seed (at least without shenanigans like Mold Breaker or something). So I believe that leaves Skill Swap and Gastro Acid as the more common ways to remove Sap Sipper if that is the chosen ability. I'm anticipating a Physical move somewhere simply because...

I'm expecting Mosslax to wake up and immediately start shouting for NAAAAIIIIIIIILLLLLLL. Honestly I don't get the sense these are meant to be gameplay variants or anything. Snorlax literally is the same mon but with moss growing on it as a joke about how little it moves (something they kind of...

And here we see why I have this user ignored.

Finished the main story last night. Definitely enjoyed the game, but feel the mid section could have been a bit better paced, between the massive rank jump (might have been better served by jumping 2-4 at a time on the early ones instead of going from like W -> F in one move) and the somewhat...

Remote Trades would be nice, I hope it's a "long term but can be repeated" thing just in case I roll yet more Lucky Friends with foreign players after it's implemented.

Catching up on story after some downtime, I also dropped into PvP to grab the Mega Stones quickly since they're basically freebies, and my god, from a first impression I do NOT get what everyone was praising about this mode. Before I regarded the Mega Stone gating as a quick way to convince...

The main concern I think Umbreon would have is the Shield timing. Snarl is still important to balance Nasty Plot, regardless of negative stat stages, but for the Tera Blast reason, ATK debuffs are definitely worth fitting if you can. The reason I cite the Shield is because Umbreon CAN debuff...

Honestly might be a long shot. Baxcalibur's items do a lot of work in its most busted sets, so the Mega might be another option as opposed to a direct upgrade on anything.
