I knew Biome exclusive spawns were going to lead to shenanigans. It's the same discontent as regional spawns, but now with data that can be manipulated, as we can see here. Niantic is very bad about understanding how their players work or what they'll do in response to things, most famous...

The point remains there's no reason, practically speaking to try and get a Pokemon actually in a tier by usage, to the degree of making the cut off more lenient. Things downstairs can be used further up but not vice versa, so an OU-viable Pokemon being NU doesn't bar other tiers from using it...

Physical/Special/Status maybe, since part of that change was assigning the explicit categories?

What arms?!

I think the main Obstacle Hands has is that its high stats are a bit betrayed by the low BP of most of its move options. Outside of CC and EQ as coverage, most of its moves struggle to reach 80 BP without a drawback, including its theoretically valuable Electric STAB. This results in its output...

I saw reposts of "roster" images from the 2023 Poll and I think Rika was the only Female character in the list (albeit I don't know most of the characters so grain of salt there)?

I guess where I disagree on the story tone there is that USUM aren't light in and of themselves, but they feel a bit less dark from the previous games. My basis for this primarily pertains to the story climax, as S/M is smaller in scope but also feels more grounded in its subject matter. It's...

This would actually be easy to address if they did something like adjust the color of the HP bar for increments? Like how 50% is Yellow and 20% is Red. Maybe if at 33% it turn a distinct Orange or something, so instead of the game notifying they could just learn "Orange Health = Pinch Mode" if...

I think it worth noting that Soul Dew just boosts Latios's two STAB types, as opposed to Ogerpon masks boosting ALL its moves by 1.2x. This can come into play where Coverage is concerned, which will come up decently often because both of Latios's STABs falter into Steel types. Latios has more...

Legendaries usually aren't too hard to come by because even if people aren't catching the mons themselves, they want to do them for the rewards like XL Rare Candy rolls. East/West Hemisphere is more even than the North/South that the Ultra Beasts did, so shouldn't be hard to find. And if not now...

Stakataka might come down to moveset. Its high defenses will suck to fight but it does have a double weakness to Primal Groudon plus others that might undermine that bulk to a reasonable level. Curious to see myself

Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a 555 BST vs normal Ursaluna's 550. Why such a tiny change? They rearranged virtually all of its stats such that it doesn't share a single BST number with the base form, even in a different category, but why the 5 extra points? If they wanted to make it stronger why not...

The more cynical interpretation I have is that they put Urshifu access in the DLC to get people in the door with the top dog after a year or two, but now they have to spend on the previous games to get the big wigs for Restricted Format once they've already shown an interested and gone past one...

You love to see it. Gym will mostly help for the odd low-level Raid unless you look into apps for Remote Inviting, but just having something in stone-throwing distance is a massive convenience (source: Guy who lived on top of 2 Gyms and 5 stops at College vs nothing within 10 minutes of my...

Does that include fake Beach Biomes? People noted that almost anything with Sand counts as a Beach to the point of getting the background on Golf Courses. Still trying to find a Wiglett myself. Also free Diancie Research incoming if you need to get that Mythical (assuming Go Fest paid ticket...

Tusk certainly has more competition for its role as a Bulky Utility/Glue Ground, but I wouldn't say it necessarily got worse into the Meta, which would be what I personally base a potential drop around. Teams ignoring Hazards can eschew Tusk, but then they have either concerns about stacking...

I think the idea was to show off the breeding mechanic, but it misses the point that if you have the Mon to breed them down, you would just use the parent in-game, since no one is using Egg Moves for casual runs vs PVP. Gen 4 at least gives Riolu without Lucario immediately accessible and stuff...

So Sinnoh has 107 Pokemon of its own, 27 being related to Prior Gen mons, compared to Johto (its closest comparison in terms of thematics for the region and preceding Dex size) being 16/100. I have excluded the Eeveelutions of both gens since Eevee's evolution gimmick makes it a common choice...

No input on Gambit but I would be curious about the Volcarona interaction. I'd think if anything Latios would be in first and the idea is to bait Volc thinking it can use it to grab a QD? Non-Boosting Item Latios can't 2HKO Bulky Volc with Draco (since it's faster before QD and thus gets 2...

The thing I think that is off about Gigantamax Gengar to me is that aside from the Giant Mouth, it just looks like a Bigger Gengar, as in something Gengar's normal look would sport if it opened its mouth instead of having its signature toothy grin. The Tongue even kind of reminds me of Haunter's...
