Not a fan personally. Great Pokemon and I've used it to a good degree in playthroughs and competitively. That being said I've always felt disappointed in the way the final design ended up. Kinda the opposite with regards to Froakie/Chespin where I very much so disliked the initial stages but their finals ended up looking cool as hell. To each their own though, can definitely see it's appeal.

No. She's arguably even more haxy due to Aurora Veil and the Seeds both increasing evasion, and in turn her crit rate too. More over she doesn't lose her evasion/crit rate if she actually attacks anymore.

See here's the thing, that's competitive. The point there is to keep things as even as possible and allow for people to outplay each other without losing at team preview. Reborn on the other hand, is a game. The point is for it to get gradually more and more difficult and force you to adapt if your team isn't good enough.

Ame has been known to swap around the badge layout in that file each and every episode. I wouldn't take it as any indicator.

I'd rather they not win that fight. If nothing else the reaction to just how strong the 'Leader' of Team Meteor is should be a good watch. Makes Lin's entrance a LOT more intimidating down the line too, given that she's straight up introduced as being even more powerful than Solaris.

Terra or Titania.

Amaria. Can't handle the drill.

Huh, you ended up posting this on the forums after all. Neat. Still gotta catch up on the most recent videos though.

Haru (Celebi) @ Expert Belt Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 SpA / 36 SpD / 220 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe - Leaf Storm - Stealth Rock - Psychic - Hidden Power [Fire] Pretty simple but very fit for purpose. I was looking for a lead that countered most of their leads and posed a general threat to the teams at large. Celebi fit that description perfectly. 220 speed evs allowed it to hit 319 speed, outspeeding all possible leads bar Electrode and Zapdos, one of which is practically irrelevant anyways. Expert Belt was put on as it allowed Celebi to pick up guaranteed OHKO's on even Rindo Berry max SpDef Swampert, SpDef Hippowdon and bulky Band Scizor. The remaining evs were put into Special Defense to aid it in taking Heat Waves or stray Hidden Powers. Futaba (Bronzong) @ Toxic Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Impish Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Trick - Explosion - Hidden Power [Fire] - Earthquake + Futaba (Bronzong) @ Chesto Berry Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Iron Defense - Psychic - Rest The former Bronzong set was a type of all purpose switch in, being able to come in on most threats, particularly Scizor/Mamoswine/Hippowdon and tricking them a Toxic Orb, to either cripple them in Hippowdon's case, or lower their damage output/speed in Scizor's case. Hidden Power Fire prevented it from setting up in the case of an SD set, Earthquake was solely for the common Magnezones they seem to have brought. Second set was a meme ft @Alex. OP but lost to crits. Classic mons. Ryuji (Infernape) (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Blaze EVs: 64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe Naive Nature - Grass Knot - Hidden Power [Ice] - Fire Blast - Flare Blitz Here's the mon that claimed practically every kill in my game vs Swampellow. 192 speed evs with positive nature allowed Infernape to hit 330 speed. At that point, it beat out all non-Scarfers but Jolteon, Electrode and Raikou, so I slapped on a Choice Scarf to help it beat them and aid me with another revenge killer not called Flygon. I realised quickly that Physical Sets were prone to getting walled by Hippowdon, but full special had the issue of not being as strong/accurate. Hence why I had Flare Blitz on top of Fire Blast. Not only does it give Infernape reliable Fire STAB, which is near unresisted in this matchup, but it lowers Infernape's health over time into the range of Blaze. Blaze would super boost it's Fire Blast's into a point equal to that of the Choice Specs set. Grass Knot nails Quagsire/Hippowdon and Hidden Power Ice beats out Flygon.

Joker requested to be subbed out, I'll be putting in Roswell.

Rachi (Jirachi) @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 240 HP / 204 SpD / 64 Spe Careful Nature - Iron Head - Wish - King's Shield - Heart Swap This is the Jirachi set used in the Yinyang vs Dragoknight game. Me, Skitty and Drago came up with it as a result of Drago's team struggling hard to check sweepers like Celesteela and Magearna, especially Magearna. With Heart Swap, it could easily shut down any Magearna variant that did not carry Z-Shadow Ball. 64 speed evs were used to outspeed Timid Magearna, incidentally also outspeed Jolly Band Scizor. High special defense investment allowed it to check most special threats bar Specs Primarina's Steam Eruption. It would also provide Wish support for the main cleaner in Keldeo alongside allowing Zygarde to come in more frequently. In practise it did exactly what it needed to, though unfortunately it's efforts fell short due to Drago misplaying with it during the most crucial bit of the game. Set was cool enough that I thought it was worth posting tho.

Those who I've known for quite some time already know how I feel towards them, so I'll use my post here to talk moreso about people I've recently come to know/talk to. @ZEL So for the longest time you were kind of that person a lot of my friends knew and talked to a lot but we never really interacted much. Glad to see that's changed. You're a wonderful person to talk to with knowledge in quite an amount of areas, something I I wish I had. Best of luck in any endeavours in the future. @Marcello Look at this nerd man. Doing a Maths masters degree and still can't count up to 16 correctly. smh Honestly by far one of the coolest people I've come to know period. Your work both in the Reborn Game and the community as a whole is massively appreciated, you have a great sense of humour - thank god for that - are a genuinely inspiring person and are all around amazing to talk to. I feel like a lot of the things I've just said blend together and seem samey but I really look up to you tbh. Keep going Willy. @Ikaru Man I actually used to be terrified of talking to you. Crazy since you're so chill it's genuinely surreal. Probably the admin position. That's in the past now though, great to have banter with, conversations are usually pretty fun. r8/8 m8. @Walpurgis i needed one more person on this list and ur nice i guess. D-don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I think you are cool or anything... that's pretty much it. oops. I'm horrible at this sort of stuff. feelsbadman. edit: forgot a nerd. @The Grinch denko was a mistake. been nice getting to know you over the past few months thanks to @Morshu and @Hycrox. memes are usually on point, wonderful person, we should meet up and go beat up marc at some point tbh js.

Wave (Noivern) @ Leftovers Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 104 HP / 252 SpA / 152 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hurricane - Taunt - Roost - Toxic Ended up losing vs Bagel because I wasn't expecting offense. That being said this Noivern set was aimed to handle their expected fat balance/stall cores with Pokemon such as Cofagrigus, Spiritomb and Mega Audino provided it didn't have heal bell, by taunt/toxic stalling them before they could heal. Taunt shut their Golbats down completely, preventing it from defogging the rocks we needed to wear them down. 152 speed evs along with Timid nature outsped positive natured max invest base 110's, such as Dodrio and Heliolisk, which is what they often used. In particular it could chip Heliolisk with one hurricane into the point where Toxicroak's Sucker Punch could take it out, massively helpful given that Helio was the biggest threat they had IMO. In the end it ended up not really being too helpful given that the matchup it was brought into ended up being offense on Bagel's end, something specs Noivern was much more suited for. Oh well.
