You need a better reason that "it is great" because I have never ever heard of Ice Shard Vanilluxe being a thing. Sure, it has 3 base ATK more than its fellow Snow Warning Ice Shard companion Abomasnow, but Abomasnow has a secondary STAB typing and good coverage in EQ if needed. Vanilluxe... will end up with three different Ice STABs (Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, and Ice Shard) and then somewhat meager coverage in Flash Cannon and HP Ground since everything else it has sucks, plus Autotomize, a speed-boosting ability that Abomasnow does not have the luxury of using.I bump this up again, can we have ice shard Vanilluxe? It is great ;_;
Yes you are right, I'm sorry I but i already mentioned this.You need a better reason that "it is great" because I have never ever heard of Ice Shard Vanilluxe being a thing.

Just letting you know, all Pokemon in random battles have 84 EVs in every stat. That's why even Gyro Ball users have speed investment, because the EV spreads aren't changed based on the Pokemon.I made a thread for this instead of replying to the suggestions thread because that thread said, "no metagame suggestions."
First, I noticed that all Pokemon that don't know gyro ball or trick room have max speed investment. It can sometimes be frustrating, such as when a player gets a full team of walls with max speed investment and not enough defenses. The EV spreads of generated Pokemon should depend on their movesets. That way, walls can be just as good as sweepers.
Second, I noticed that people complain about box art legendaries making sweeping too easy. I understand that low-tier Pokemon come with higher levels, but can those levels be a little bit higher?
Third, I think the team generator should make sure that no four Pokemon on one team share a weakness and at least 6 attacks on each team are neutral or strong against each type. If a team fails one of these checks, the generator should randomly replace Pokemon until the team passes.
No this is wrong. All pokemon with no physical attacking moves has 0 ev and ivs and all pokemon with gyroball/trick room as well.Just letting you know, all Pokemon in random battles have 84 EVs in every stat.

iirc move illegalities, such as event only or this special case with Nincada's evolution move learning in previous gens, are ignored by randbatsNot 100% sure if this is the place to post this but Swords Dance + BP Shedinja is illegal, yet I still got it in a randbat.
flinch i guess?
What's the point in having dark pulse over snarl if my ability is technician?
Moves get picked first, then abilities, resulting in "oh look, HP Fighting, I guess Technician will work, also nobody told me that we had Snarl"

It lowers the target's special attack, which can be very useful at times.Moves get picked first, then abilities, resulting in "oh look, HP Fighting, I guess Technician will work, also nobody told me that we had Snarl"
Also you don't lose too much damage output from Dark Pulse anyways, it's what, 2.5 BP difference?
it's not going to kill you to have dark pulse is all i'm sayin'It lowers the target's special attack, which can be very useful at times.
The effect of an exclusive z-move is set. For example, stoked sparksurfer always has 175 base power. The power of type z-moves depends on the base move, so it becomes 1 if there's no base move.Also, can someone explain me why exclusive Z moves retain the same BP and effect instead? (i.e. Stoked Sparksurfer will be a usable 175 BP move with the paralysis effect, even if you don't have the appropriate crystal)
