There's a high chance that Fluffy will not double its power, as it only reduces damage of contact moves by half. If you're talking about Fur Coat, that's somethingOther Pkm that might benefit from it are: Dusknoir, Dusclops, Bewear (imagine if Fluffy doubles the power...), Coalossal, Gourgeist, Ferrothorn, Avalugg, etc.
If it gets Nasty Plot, Dragon Pulse, Shadow Ball, and a few other good special coverage moves then Special Dragapult could be a thing. Boosting off a 100 base SpA doesn't seem like a bad idea and it's already real speedy.I'm wondering at this point if Dragapult will even have access to Dragon/Shadow Claw or any of the elemental punches, given how piddly its arms and hands look. Not that a lack of hands has stopped Pokemon from punching before. Dragon Darts sounds thoroughly underwhelming for Doubles (50BP hitting each opponent is the equivalent of a 67BP spread move after spread damage reduction, that's barely stronger that Breaking Swipe), which means it might be stuck with the unreliable Dragon Rush. Hopefully it gets some more reliable STABs through TMs/TRs.
Imagine another Mega Lucario situation.If it gets Nasty Plot, Dragon Pulse, Shadow Ball, and a few other good special coverage moves then Special Dragapult could be a thing. Boosting off a 100 base SpA doesn't seem like a bad idea and it's already real speedy.
In Gen 7, yesTheir movepools do look kinda small don't they? Wonder if it's because of the TRs or they nerfed the move relearners. They were able to teach even later moves in gen 6 and 7 right?
Given its fixed BP, I suspect this will work like Foul Play in that it replaces your attack with your defense in the damage calculation, rather than acting as a modifier.
So it now has effective 680 BST, assuming its attack has also been lowered. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.So apparently Aegislash got a nerf in Defense.
Now that's interesting. I believe this is the first actual form (disregarding Totems which are just bigger) that has not been usable in battle. I get the impression that they want to abandon the sacred cow of everything being catchable. Makes me wonder if UBs were originally not meant to be catchable, and in turn if their design similarities to prominent characters in SM is less of a coincidence than we thought because they were originally meant to be transformed humans.Eternamax Eternatus cannot be used in battle.
Yeah, I'm thinking that either the tutors got nerfed or there is a later one we haven't found yet. But levelling seems easier than in SM, so maybe they thought it was unnecessary this time around.Their movepools do look kinda small don't they? Wonder if it's because of the TRs or they nerfed the move relearners. They were able to teach even later moves in gen 6 and 7 right?
Is Dragon Dart really such a "bad" move? :oImagine another Mega Lucario situation.
Time to send out my physical wall. *Goes for Nasty Plot* Oh, shit...
Time to send out my special wall. *Goes for SD/DD* Oh, shit...
Dragon Darts is really good in singles. Hits mich harder than D Claw with no drawbacks (not even the M-Kang drawback of triggering Rocky Helmet, because it isn't a contact move) and breaks substitute. It just sucks in doubles because it's effectively a <70 BP spread move.Is Dragon Dart really such a "bad" move? :o
It's not, easily the best physical dragon stab there is. With just 100 special attack how much that will catch on unless the coverage is just way better, but like I deadass dont think you would be able to touch something like Unaware Clef.Is Dragon Dart really such a "bad" move? :o

Yeah, I missed the "Doubles" there. Was about to say, that move in Singles seems pretty good (especially with DDance and Dynamax being a thing).It's not, easily the best physical dragon stab there is.

Not sure how big the impact will be, but maybe big enough to make it legal for OU and/or Monotypenooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Idk. The 50/50 thing is still a problem. It depends whether that stat drop is enough to make it miss any important KOs or lose to any important attacks it could have tanked before.Not sure how big the impact will be, but maybe big enough to make it legal for OU and/or Monotype
Had to go back and see its weight for Heavy Slam. Supposedly it's the 3rd strongest, STAB Heavy Slam user after Celesteela (Gone) and Heavy Metal Aggron (Gone). Steelix is heavier a bit, but Copperbro has way better Attack stat. So unless I'm missing out a line, its the best, STAB Heavy Slam user after the cut.Heavy Slam

Forces all Pokemon on the field to eat their berries. Basically a combo move for Doubles, with the cheeky side benefit of potentially wasting an opponents HP-restoring berry.What does Teatime do?

Do we know how heavy Copperajah is? :oHad to go back and see its weight for Heavy Slam. Supposedly it's the 3rd strongest, STAB Heavy Slam user after Celesteela (Gone) and Heavy Metal Aggron (Gone).

I was about to say, Teatime with Pie Dragon ... maybe I should give doubles a try xDForces all Pokemon on the field to eat their berries. Basically a combo move for Doubles, with the cheeky side benefit of potentially wasting an opponents HP-restoring berry.
And who doesn't want to have high tea with an apple pie dragon?
1. It would only be for 3 turns, also the stat increases I'm imagining wouldn't be that big, maybe like 10% to 15% based on the Dynamax level. Not game changing but certainly enough to make the opponent consider Dynamaxing to counter.....you want the pokemon's stats to increase along side all of its moves becoming accurate fire blast levels of strength (at least)?
You want the whole Dex in ubers or???
Why must vindication feel so disheartening.Mega Gengar died for this
While I'm not disagreeing, it's still stupid for GF not to give them a Gigantamax. GF already said Dynamax is a Galar thing, which I'm assuming is true for Gigantamax, so why not give the Starters a Gigantamax? The only other reason not to do so would have been if their Signature Moves did double damage to Dynamax/Gigantamax Pokemon, putting them on the same playing field as the Legendaries.Starters won't get a G-Max form. Remember Gen 6?
Alright, I'll admit that's pretty clever. I'm okay with that as it's just an allusion compared to Duraludon which literally becomes a building.This doesn't pertain to anything recent, but I noticed something about Giga Lapras. Its shell looks a bit like a cruise ship.
Hugh had the problem of being a main character that the player didn't play as.As long as they never give us another rival as terribly written as Hugh.
Wait Move Tutors are gone? So is BP only used to buy items now?There are 100 TMs and 100 TRs, the latter being a replacement for move tutor. You can purchase the latter but have to use the watt currency if I'm not mistaken.
Or maybe it's those Pokemon's last attempt to leave a reminder that they once existed, giving over their secret technique to others so they may avenge them!I like how a lot of Pokemon that were snapped by Dexit now have their previous exclusive moves as TMs. It's like going to Goodwill and buying someone's dead grandma's dress.
I gotta laugh how we're so ravenous for leaked news we've timed when the leaker usually releases new information like we're stalking them or are a drugee looking to get our next fixed, lol!Actually, there is. The leaker averages to leak between 12 AM - 7 AM EST. He has consistently been leaking throughout this timeframe (except the Flapple / Gengar stuff).
Happens to the best of us.You are rights... Checked it 2 times before posting and still missed it.
With them cutting half the dex they better have improved the stats on all the Pokemon that need it!Since things have slowed down, I will ask that if by chance some older mons get a BST boost, which ones do you have hopes for? Personally, Shiinotic with that 405 BST compared to Amoonguss' 464 BST hurts, so it could certainly bear an HP boost from that measly 60.
And I'm assuming this is true for all Gigantamax Pokemon. Only HP increases.Leaker says Gigantamax Charizard only raised HP.
They introduce a new biting move and made it Dark-type?! At least make it Water- or Rock-type so that Drednaw gets STAB from it!
