lol it was rude yeah. but how can a straight person be attracted to a male. if so then you're probably not straight. maybe bi.

It actually doesn't. +2 252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 176-209 (54.4 - 64.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

while you're at it, make a ditto option for non-binary people. personally, i'd like solrock as an option since i identify as a red sun (jokes ofc, but if you answered yes for the original option, you gay af)

The only real effect that has is letting non stab fire attacks not kill it. Which would be good if everyone in their right mind didn't have a reflex fire type for scizor.

100% sure mega scizor isn't more offensive then mega metagross. Besides, steel doesn't need to hunt fairy. Mega metagross actually covers steels weaknesses. Scizor just adds on to it. Besides, let's not act like Scizor's 4x weakness to fire turning into a 2x weakness makes it that much better. It's still super effective, and it still might die.

Well we're definitely not getting Dragonite for obvious reasons by that time. Also, multiscale just flat out removes weaknesses on the pokemon, and it doesn't imply any different on the field chart thng. Stealth rock will only help for Turtonator/Noivern/Salamence then.

How do I find out about the leaders in the online league, since it seems reborn was based off of them.

I would actually love one. Beat Adrienn and you'll get it. goddamn. how does lilligant take a sludgebomb/fire blast/flamethrower back tho.

I shouldn't have said that. The sprites aren't terrible, but they're not good either. I guess for a first release they're alright. My bad for coming off so rude.

This has potential, but please don't release it with anything like those starter sprites. Or the one on the start screen. Not to be rude, but this is legit advice. If your game's main selling point is new pokemon, then if the pokemon are bad, what does your game have to offer? Interesting mechanics I guess, but you'd be surprised how much bad sprites can turn someone off about a game.

I personally think Lin's Hydreigon just has stat inflation. It's not uncommon for fangames to help make a Pokemon better via stat inflation. I know for a fact that Hardcore massively buffed Adrienn via stat inflation. It's probably like 100/95/90/130/150/98

So is Celestial Cresselia going to have a new sprite, or is it just going to be a recoloring of the original sprite.

Please remember that that was a team I made up on the fly, there are many things that can happen. Please remember she can run noivern too, and fairy types and dragon types that are specially based are doing 30-40% to AV goodra max. That's WITH EV Training. and probably max IVS. AV Dragalge ~~and maybe naganadel somehow~~ are the answers to your special fairy and ice types. I predict her team will basically force you to switch in and out of special and physical based Pokemon. The problem with that is, if that keeps happening in the battle, She'll eventually hit you where it hurts. Well, unless you play on switch, in which case this battle is still tough, because you can switch. Oh. But what if it's a double battle? Then this fight gets a LOT harder since your switch mechanic is done and a Pokemon is getting ohko'd every round. I do agree with a lot of the claims I'm probably making this a bigger deal then it is, but at least we do know this fight won't be as easy as we might think. Considering there's no counter to Flash Cannon Clangorous Scales Kommo-o. Y'all are so lucky it doesn't get multiscale lol. Reborn is acting up for me so I'm just @ing people. @Azeria So you're suggesting to fight fire with fire. But what if she fights fire fighting fire with fire and brings a Noivern of her own. STRANGE ISN'T IT? (if you get that reference be my friend) @Whitelight I mean, what type of final gym battle would it be if it didn't make at least 5% quit. @GS BALL Charizard is one of my favorite Pokemon, but literally fighting fire with fire might not be too good. Charizard needs a chance to set up to sweep, and on this field, it's just not getting that chance. But in your defense, if it DOES get the boost, it's basically an insta-win if she doesn't have any scarfed pokemon. But THEN you could abuse the AI to use a move that's not very effective against zard and,... I need a Charizard. @Ainz Ooal Gown True.

I might be a bit late, but all I can say is that that is a DAMN shame. I'm playing through hardcore and I've used so many different pokemon for so many specific things it's crazy. Hardcore tests you and really makes you use stuff other then mindless HO. The only fight I personally despise is Serra, but it's to be expected with a gym that focuses on hax. In any case, good luck on your future endeavors and what not. HC was fun and I hope you'll return to it.

Since someone made a topic on how much of a threat Amaria could be. I figure I can make a thread on Saphira. First of all, this field: So let me get this straight. Dragon type moves' damage is doubled. If that doesn't sound bad enough, then know that all ice types moves' damage are basically cut in half. Oh, and if a Dragon Type Pokemon has multiscale, they flat out lose all of their weaknesses. Woah. So let's address the elephant in the room. Or the dragonite. Yeah, Dragonite is flat out broken in this field. A good moveset for this thing is something like: Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Fire Punch, 4th move. (Maybe thunder punch, iron head, Earthquake, etc. It doesn't need much more then the moves mentioned.) So let's try and deduce what Saphira's team will be. We already know about Dragonite. But maybe Turtonator will be next? Both of it's types are boosted on the field, and it can run Assault vest or air balloon for defensive purposes. I think a good moveset is something like Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon, Focus Blast? Shell Trap is also a possibility, but that just makes coming in with a physical attacker and abusing AI easier. The only problem with Turtonator, is that it's damage output is much less then desired for that point in the game. The Next Pokemon could be something like Kommo-o. It can run Clangorous Soulblaze for a Zmove slot and proceed to completely destroy anything and everything. A Ddance set with Dclaw, Iron head, and Sky Uppercut is also possible. But at the end of the day, this pokemon would just secure Ice's uselessness on this field. And before anyone mentions changing the field. The Next Pokemon is probably Tyrantrum. It loves this field because even if the field changes, it's op head smash just gets STRONGER. As it turns into a cave field. Other then that, Tyrantrum is just a strong attacker. Something like Ddance, Head smash, Iron Head/Earthquake, Dragon claw/Outrage. I think the pokemon after that would be Assault vest Goodra. I just think that pokemon is basically mandatory on Dragon monos. And Finally, the mega. Honestly. I can't decide between Mega Charizard, Mega Garchomp, or Mega Salamence. It probably won't be mega salamence due to already having a dragonite, so it's between Zard X and Chomp. I'll leave that up to you guys. And after all that, I think the team is something like this, but not in this order: Dragonite, Turtonator, Tyrantrum, Kommo-o, Goodra, Zard X/Mega Chomp Now here are some calcs on some common Pokemon to really spice it up. Dragonite: And I'm sure you get the message. In any case, from the looks of it, Saphira is broken. I legitimately think this battle will make some people quit the game and that's because Amethyst is a master of teambuilding, whereas I made this up off the top of my head. Thoughts, comments, questions? I'm all ears. Also: +2 252+ SpA Kommo-o Clangorous Soulblaze vs. 140 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Magnezone: 201-237 (63.6 - 75%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. At this point, I'm convinced if it's not a fairy type, it's not a counter to this thing on this field lmao.

Amaria is probably the last leader we face before Saphira. Even when she had amnesia, she still 6-0d an interviewer without her field. Honestly, with her fields, just about anything could make her scary.

Corrosive Mist Corey and Ciel consistently give several ass whoopings to my team so idk who to choose. At least they both have set up fodder mons being Grimer and Archeops respectively.

Never said it's your obligation. I'm just saying people like this series and people like myself aren't always checking your profile for updates. I just think an announcement would be nice. It takes no more then 30 seconds to do, but then again, you do have no obligation so I guess my point is void. Whatever, have fun I suppose, even though from the looks of it, you don't really like Insurgence (deducing this from the limited conversation we've had together discussing insurgence)

So I guess this run is discontinued? Along with your gundamn tanaka run? That's a shame, but at least tell us. Or maybe I missed and announcement, idk.

She gets a Regice later in the story.

These are what I'm hoping for with the final upcoming PULSES.

I guess so. That would make sense, but then again Erick and Amber having Zapdos and Moltres doesn't make sense and they still have it. IDK. I think Jan could get away with it though.

I know I'm super late, and that there have probably been about a billion topics on this. But what does everyone think the new gym leaders are gonna be like? Shade might look something like this- Gengar, Mimikyu, Doublade, Dhelmise, Rotom, Alolan Marowak (A Fire/ghost type that's legal), or same old illegal Chandelure Florinia's changes probably won't be massive, but maybe something like this? Breloom, Tsareena, Ferroseed, Cradily, Dhelmise, Whimsicott IDK about Julia. Charlotte- Typhlosion, Darmanitan, Turtonator, Volcarona, Rotom-H, Ninetales Noel- Wigglytuff, Diggersby, Komala, Oranguru, Staraptor, Porygon-Z? Titania- AloDugtrio, Excadrill, Skarmory, Aegislash, Empoleon, Metagross IDK. Gimme your ideas.

I made a post about it a while back. But yeah, Tristan is definitely the dumbest leader I've ever fought. Definitely needs a nerf. TBH, if Caz can't think of anything to do with the field given, then I wouldn't even mind if he copy pasted Noel's team for a version or two. Mega Lopunny at that stage is just too much.
