Blontary Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi everyone! So I'm playing through v10 and I'm now fighting Madame X at blacksteeple castle. In previous versions I was always able to beat her, waiting for yveltal to miss a heat wave/ Zen headbutt and using toxic/ whatever. This time though her yveltal will only use decimation, 1hkoing all of my pokemon (I'm at my 3rd attempt and still haven't seen any other move). I know there still are some ways to beat her, though I'm doing a mono water so prankster pokemon or similar aren't actually accessible atm. Am I just unlucky or in this version yveltal will indeed only use decimation?? Do you guys have any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pozyher Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Decimation has 10 pp.Your best bet would be to have a mon with protect and or detect and stall it.Once it runs out of pp, it will use struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Dreamy Posted April 10, 2018 Global Mods Share Posted April 10, 2018 Struggle / Fake Out / Hail / Sandstorm chip damage and lots of revives. Decimation is its only move, and is basically a guaranteed kill on anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcBolt27 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 its worth noting the only things u get from beating madame x is a bit of money and around 40kish exp iirc........... otherwise nothing else is changed aside from the chance of many items being used for essentially no reason because as of v9 she is a fight you are supposed to lose against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Zephyr Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 You do get one of those hidden 'fate' points (I forgot what they're actually called) for beating her as well, just like the previous bosses 'unbeatable' bosses (Rift Gyarados and Shadow Mewtwo). That certainly has no impact on the game now, but is almost certainly going to play some sort of role at the end of the game by virtue of even existing.

ArcBolt27 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) yea there is that........... at least the rift gyarados and shadow mewtwo are actually beatable without PP staling into struggle edit: of course the latter is impossible to PP stall as shadow moves have infinite PP Edited April 11, 2018 by ArcBolt27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blontary Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Ok in the end I just pp stalled it as suggested (that full restore though, almost had a heart attack). Just like the feeling of kicking Madame X's ass lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalJinn Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Can anyone confirm if decimation is a one-hit ko move or if it has like 100 bp and bypasses sturdy. Also does anyone know if the current version of yveltal has focus blast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Zephyr Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I know for a fact that Madame X has removed all non-Decimation moves, as to mitigate the possibility of getting cheesed by Destiny Bond after a missed Heat Wave or tricking it into hitting Baneful Bunker with Zen Headbutt. As per a post in this thread, Decimation is an OH-KO move that phases through Sturdy (and doesn't make physical contact, sadly). It's a straight-up stall war now.

Damage Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Just got to this mon. So decimation has like +204034 priority. Prankster plus a priority move means nothing and it ko's all..... Pray for a merciful and painless death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
