Wolfox Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 they handled Shelly well (Nexus got a little lucky, but did well). And yeah, Nexus kinda opened up a can of worms that he shouldn't have (granted what else is new?)
DemICE Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Too bad. I wanted Nappy to lose his ampharos. Just to see him not spamming it in every major fight
Global Mods Dreamy Posted August 4, 2018 Global Mods Posted August 4, 2018 Shade will hopefully claim some lives. from memory quite a few of his mons have a lot of offensive power and pretty decent coverage. If any of them lose a lot we can start referring to them as savage lol. I wonder how they'll react to that gym in general, with shades forshadowing in the dark, and corey the gengar etc
Wolfox Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I actually am a bit confused. first people want them to learn the field effects and use them. now Nappy actually does so and now he has to mlose the mon that allows him to do so...

Learning & utilizing the natural field, using inbuilt transformations: Good Blanketly overwriting any field in a significant battle with electric terrain: Not so good

TIP Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 How many time has Mo died? He's handling the game well i think

From a personal perspective I don't like altering the field with terrain moves. I might use natural moves if it feels like something I'd do anyway. I.e. set the forest on fire because I like to spam fire moves willy nilly, shatter mirrors because I do the same with EQ, etc. That said, far as I'm concerned they can play the way they want, so that's not the issue. I want Ampharos gone simply because Ampharos is a stupid and ugly sheep. And sheep are already stupid and ugly, so that's saying something.
J-Awesome_One Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I wonder how they're gonna react to Luna's team when they realize that all of her Pokemon are nicknamed?

This shit is wild!" I think Nappy would like that though. It'd be like in a UCL battle but with a mono type team.

I feel at first they'll be annoyed because they can't counter her mons until she's already sent them out but eventually be okay with it as she's super easy and the Alice in Wonderland theme.

I can imagine them settling down, thinking the difficulty is over after Noel, Radomus, Luna, and Samson...then bam, Charlotte happens.

If Nappy still has Gregory AKA Lumineon at that point, Rain Dance will make that battle so easy.
ZEL Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I honestly don't mind them using E-Terrain so much, I think it's nice to see them actually utilize the advantages their 'mons give them. All's fair in a 'locke. And I mean, Nappy's been doing fine even before he got access to the move. It would have been cool to see someone set the field on fire instead, though. (Not because it's particularly smart with so many grounded 'mons, I just find it funny to do this to fields.) Shade loves his Electric moves, though, so trying to change his field into E-Terrain might come to bite them in the ass a bit. The short-circuit field can boost all the way up to x2, but at least comes with a chance for low rolls, whereas the terrain grants Gengar and Mimikyu the x1.5 - more than the Factory Field does. Rotom doesn't get boosted, but also can't get screwed over by low rolls this way. 2
TwinAero Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Wasn't it changed some EP ago that sendouts uses species name instead of nicknames?
Abyssreaper99 Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I battled Luna in E17 and I think it said she was sending out *insert nickname here* and for Amaria, it says she's sending out Deliverance not Lapras.

uberle Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 The Solaris fight gets a pass because you don't need to win it to progress in the story Also you were never meant to win in the first place
