    You are a type specialist in a hostile region. How do you best represent your chosen element?

    Grass? The type I use multiple Pokemon of every time? The type that gets Leech Seed? I'm back for this! :D I always use 2 or 3 Grass types in game and when I tried the fan game Infinite Fusion I used no Grass types for the sake of not using Grass types. (I used the Dark/Poison Umbreon/Venusaur...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    Just want to point out that it's cool in theory, but fails in practice as far as gameplay goes. Durant outspeeds Heatmor and wherever it's found at levels where it knows a move that OHKO Heatmor with Dig or Guillotine. (It needs Hustle for Dig, but still. Being able to be OHKOed by your prey...

    Pokemon Day Presents 2024 - Pokemon LZA 2025

    I like the idea of the game taking place entirely in a city. It's like if a game had a completly urban reigon if you think about it. Not sure if it's a good idea though. It probably depends on how well they make the parks feel like they're not too urban nor too wild. I haven't been looking at...

    You are a type specialist in a hostile region. How do you best represent your chosen element?

    Last round I was going to do an arciologist theme, but the first team was the same as I was going to do but with Bisharp instead of Crustle. After than I was going to try something else but lost interest when I realized whatever my team would be was going to be the four Rock types, a Ground...

    You are a type specialist in a hostile region. How do you best represent your chosen element?

    This thread coming back is a great way to start a new year! :D I'm pretty happy about one thing about making type specialist team in SV. Terastal means the last Pokemon can be whatever you want! If the Bug Gym can have Teddiursa then I don't see why an Ice team can't have a Fire type if you can...

    Unpopular Opinions: Scarlet & Violet Edition

    I know my opinion on the SV DLC isn't worth as much when I don't have it, but no Battle Facility makes it much worse than the SwSh DLC. Restricted Sparring is really fun and no Battle Facility is why I didn't get the SV DLC.

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Gouging Fire remains in OU]

    What? *double checks research thread* Seriously? That has to be a bug, but that's interesting. Stellar's Tera Starstorm is weaker than Terastal's due to effectively going from 180 Power with STAB to 144 with the Stellar Buff! +25 Base SpA is less gain than a 36 Power loss. That means you should...

    Dec 7 - 21: 5* Raids for Dialga & Palkia

    One problem with Howl is you have to watch 4 Pokemon have their stats raised instead of just yours. Howl is still worth trying though... unless you don't trust other players, which is pretty understandable. I'd go with Howl for a support set, which is probably what you're going for if you're...

    Pokémon Movepool Oddities & Explanations

    There's something about the Indigo Disc TMs and a certain event exclusive Pokemon from the end of Gen 4. (No, not Arceus. :P) I'm putting it in a spoiler tab in case anyone doesn't want spoilers about TMs.

    Research Scarlet & Violet Battle Mechanics Research

    Does Stellar Tera Blast keeps STAB after the first use? It does have the same type as the user's Tera Type. Does using Stellar Tera Blast have a power boost other than STAB when it's used the first time? (Asking because it lowers Attack and Special Attack.) Edit: I noticed Toxtricity learns...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Maybe, but getting to the chance to change type Ground or Fire instead of having to stick to Grass is too useful for Defensive sets and you get to keep STAB for more than one attack. (Unless Tera Blast keeps STAB after the first use due to matching the Tera Type.) If Stellar is viable it's...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    It doesn't get what?! *double checks* No offense, Parting Shot, Toxic, Recover, and ability that confuses when it poisons... Did Game Freak make this Pokemon just for me?

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    We thought Dustox was pretty likely in the Isle of Armor because of Klara's bow looking like a Dustox, but it's not in SwSh.

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v3

    Smeargle with a Shell Smash outspeeds Maushold after Tidy Up (546 vs 529 with Jolly Natures) and Smeargle's Power Trip is stronger than Maushold's Bite, but Maushold has a more powerful Population Bomb. +2 252 Atk Technician Smeargle Population Bomb (10 hits) vs. 252 HP / 160+ Def Manaphy...
