7 turns i assume

well
"turns"

#

seconds makes sense too though tbh

mighty storm

Poison guy looks like him

Ikr, bro's got bigger head wings than his normal wings. wheeze

mighty storm
viral ingot
#

It's so goofy looking. What was the thought process behind Mega Dnite's design?

placid junco
#

"shit we need a kanto mon that doesn't already have a mega"

mighty storm
#

I like the design

placid junco
#

probably

#

dnite is like
by far the safest choice for a new kanto mega

viral ingot
#

True. Just wished they made the design a bit less silly. kek

mighty storm
#

hoping we see more new megas soon

ashen barn
#

Welp, dex almost done, it's only a matter of finding 3 mons, and then grind a ton

#

I can smell the 100% completion ending of Pokémon Odyssey

#

I should not have issues whatsoever with the final boss, despite it having all 6 mons evd over the limits

#

Grass fire and 5 grass ice

#

I don't care how bulky you are, lo heat wave+scarf eruption in the sun are delete from planet buttons

Also, in the postgame, there's the ending of Kitt's story
||she got together with Rockey, and they visited his family for having the formal approval||

mighty storm
#

btw that puzzle game they showed? It's not free

#

what's worst, look how expensive the DLC is

#

This is Vanguard Dear-Days level of DLC pain

I ain't waiting 7 seconds to click a button

But yeah if the dot on that is good or it also traps the opponent it might be worth

mighty storm

this is exactly how I knew she would respond to the hair being styling

#

Catherine > shiny > the shiny events > busy af

#

I cant tell its is tears or joy or just sad

Lowkey need to know lol

#

‘Each’ FUCK!

#

Mandjtv had a good point last night, ITS A THREE YEAR OLD GAME

spice rivet
#

Yup lol. So I guess we cant get them with our OT rip

pseudo goblet
#

Do ZA come out before or after September, we could have a last spurt with Koraidon and Miraidon

mighty storm
#

Each, but the drops are good so it shouldn't be too tough for all 4 to unlock

#

its also a 5 star so not super tough

#

I probably can just throw my crystal turtle at it

pseudo goblet
mighty storm
#

at least, throw the turtle at wo-chien

mighty storm
#

remember it lower's physical attack so special attackers are better

pseudo goblet
mighty storm
fading stratus
#

So does someone have to reach 1M or is it collectively 1M

mighty storm
#

collectively

fading stratus
#

Surely people will reach collectively 1M

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

Probably needed

pseudo goblet
#

Besides wooper, Frigibax and charcadet

#

The rest of them I do need, probably only 3 of these mon have any meta relevance icant

#

Also, grass group is first

mighty storm
#

got my 1 in on the wo chien

pseudo goblet
#

Oh nice, it started already

pseudo goblet
#

Why, unique typing?

fading stratus
#

this is a proof of concept
ESM went 5-3 with it at NAIC but its a pretty funny team

#

and cool as well

#

(ESM means Eternal Snowman btw)

pseudo goblet

#

I mean sure

#

It'd be cool

#

But I doubt

mhm

#

Wo Chien can't do shit when U-Turn is everywhere

mighty storm
normal cave
#

Especially if the best bug type in Pokemon history ||tera bug Incineroar|| uses it, which it often does

#

Oh it teras

#

Right this is a tera raid

mighty storm
#

oh yeah I get an encounter in Hulbury cuz fishing

#

Caught Dory the Chinchou

pseudo goblet
#

so @fading stratus, assuming everything goes well with the 4m raids, did the shiny team pool widen by a lot icant

pseudo goblet
mighty storm
#

Many Sparks later and a giant monkey, Nessa goes down without any trouble

pseudo goblet
#

Forgot SwSh run

mighty storm
#

Dory absolutely humiliated Nessa's gym gptvKEKW

#

Now to get my next encounter

pseudo goblet
#

A Karrablast lol

mighty storm
#

well 2 encounters, I get one from wild area for beating gym and one from galar mine 2

pseudo goblet
#

If you did get a Karrablast I could help you evo it

#

Just not now lmao

mighty storm
#

Wingul dupe, so reroll XD

#

oh randomly ran into a grubbin, neat

pseudo goblet
#

Wait Karrablast is way later aint it, I remember that area full of fully evos for some reasons

mighty storm
#

Girl hmmm

pseudo goblet
#

You could copy my baby girl’s name, Raye

mighty storm
#

Naming her June

pseudo goblet
#

Its July lol

mighty storm
#

and, she looks like a June. Now to go to the goated galar mines #2

pseudo goblet
#

Wimpod zoomeyes

mighty storm
#

Keep in mind for encounters to randomize I am closing my eyes, we got a shot at the best mon ever

#

LETS HECKING GO

pseudo goblet
#

Name it Solar KEKW

#

Might wanna keep it alive for Leon

#

Cinderace and Charizard

mighty storm
#

yeets Lux into the box MVP added to the team!

#

With that the team going into the Bede fight is Dory (Chinchou), Jasmin (Skwovet), Tabbytha (Eevee), Smudge (Thwackey), Rogue (Corvisquire), and of course MVP the shellos!!!

#

monkaGIGA that psyshock did a lot, but Dory 2 hits with spark

#

Jasmin finished Gothita off with 2 bites

#

Rogue barely survived the ponyta after taking down hatenna and OHKO'd for the win

#

time to take a break for tonight, made good progress

mighty storm
#

Seems Champions wont have IVs, but will have more EVs

#

well "wont have IVs", likely is just 31 across (rip trick room)

fading stratus
#

It'll have 1 more EV

#

Yeah I also talked about the IVs thing yesterday

mighty storm
#

Singular point gonna make all the difference :p

sleek sky
fading stratus
#

Confirmed

#

These are from the trailer

sleek sky
#

so people are supremely confident IVs are gone based on trailer gleaning?

mighty storm
#

No new design for the bundle though, oof

#

Can't have more then one of each kind of mega stone, if you have gardevoirite already the raltz wont be holding one.

#

also reconfirming yes you will be able to get the mega stone in regular gameplay

#

LETS GO! Wonder Pick for the playset :D!

warm sky
fading stratus
#

You won't believe me

#

The characters themselves have same order as well

#

(Primates)

#

Jokes aside peony is also of saxifragales order

#

So you're telling me he's their father

pseudo goblet
#

Dude does seem to use poison, also his… team right, is hella japanese

warm sky
#

He do be yakuza yes

pseudo goblet
#

Heh, we went from mafia, to global fuckers, universal idiots, to bullied students, now Yakuza lol

#

Yeah the trailer gave off a lot yakuza vibes

warm sky
pseudo goblet
#

Theres a difference no?

#

I will agree Mafia and yakuza are gangs

pseudo goblet
# warm sky

Btw hear me out, if dudes the father, it would be cool dudes in his early 20s and as the story goes, he could meet his love thmile

#

Man looks young to have a 16 year old daughter

shut loom
#

Can't even be quirky anymore because of woke.

outer eagle
#

Oh god that’s terrible for potential nuzlockes

#

Since the amount of potentially neutral to beneficial natures decreases icant

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

Also, great art

ashen barn
#

This is a tank and a half

normal cave
ashen barn
#

Except from ice beams

normal cave
#

Until someone uses ice beam

ashen barn
#

And blizzards

normal cave
#

Ayy

#

Same braincell

ashen barn
#

Insane buff ruined by the typing

normal cave
#

Ehhh, one quad weakness is fine

#

Scizor manages

#

Ice do be common tho

ashen barn
normal cave
#

But if the final boss is ice just smash it

ashen barn
#

Thankfully I'm not bringing it to the last boss

normal cave
#

Lol lmao ice types

ashen barn
normal cave
#

Oh?

ashen barn
#

Basically it resists psychic, dark, and water, among others

normal cave
#

Damn ok

ashen barn
#

Making it a fairly potent defensive type

#

There's Aether and not fairy as well

normal cave
#

Still gets caved in by fighting

ashen barn
#

And regice is like the best thing

#

Ice resists poison

#

Aether is weak to poison and dark

normal cave
#

Is regice ice aether

ashen barn
#

Yes

#

Hollow Queen made a return in regice

normal cave
#

They giga buffed regice

#

Wtf

ashen barn
normal cave
#

Owo

ashen barn
#

-10 stats in each defense

#

And a real, insane ability

normal cave
#

What a downside

#

Oh no

ashen barn
#

Filter or clear body

#

Dark aether

normal cave
ashen barn
#

And get this
It gets power up punch and curse

#

Plus priority

normal cave
#

Wait a sec isn't your team a sun team?

ashen barn
#

And a spread 100 power dark type move

ashen barn
normal cave
#

Lol lmao ice types

ashen barn
#

I'm only glad regigigas is locked to post game

normal cave
ashen barn
#

It also gets cc and sucker punch

normal cave
#

Stab priority

ashen barn
#

If it wasn't enough

normal cave
#

So you go like

#

Pup sucker spread protect

ashen barn
#

Btw we have a freeze status move, fairly common too
except it's frostbite and works as special willo

normal cave
#

Based

#

Much more fun for everyone than freeze

ashen barn
#

Btw shout out to dusknoir
15hp buff and ghost aether
Still worse than ghost aether eviolite dusclops

normal cave
ashen barn
#

Eviolite clops, even without TR in the game, is amazing

normal cave
#

Reaper cloth remains the worst item in the game

ashen barn
#

Pain split, willo and frostbite

#

And aether is neutral into everything

normal cave
#

"dies to taunt" the mon

ashen barn
#

Balanced by the fact that it is indeed neutral to everything

#

And its moves tend to be more setup or secondary effects

#

The best pure damage aether is radiant star
90bp
May lower speed

#

Unless you count the signature move of battle bond blaziken

#

100 bp spread physical with a chance to burn

#

Normal aether with healing pulse

pseudo goblet
#

Blissey went berserker peepoS

ashen barn
#

Oh, no
Blissey is just balanced enough

#

Aromatherapy and heal priority
Also softboiled
And screens
Does she get toxic or anything else? Nope

#

Not even seismic toss

normal cave
#

Pure support

#

Isn't this game doubles only?

ashen barn
#

Yep

normal cave
#

So you can get away with pure support

#

"dies to taunt" the mon

ashen barn
#

One of the best things she gets is bulldoze

swift jasper
ashen barn
#

It's the Etrian Odyssey healer

#

Or Medic

normal cave
ashen barn
#

Basically

#

Also, the game has plenty of physical dark types

#

And thus we can see eviolite Chansey outclassing Blissey

normal cave
#

She still dies to a punch

ashen barn
#

But even that doesn't take a knock off well

#

Let me paint a picture for you
Absol became dark poison, and got buffed

#

And it can run a crit set or a sword dance set

#

All while carrying one of the nastiest poison stabs around

ashen barn
# normal cave Lol lmao ice types

Btw just checked the evs of the last boss again
252 hp
252 def
126 in everything else

Yes the boss cheats, it's designed to be the primal entity that threatens to consume the world

#

Still, 126 in spdef and speed, while sporting grass fire and grass ice typing with poison immunity but not fire immunity means....

#

Typhlosion Thursday will be real

normal cave
#

Wezl time

#

Also, tontaro art

ashen barn
#

Sun eruptions

#

With life orb ninetails spamming heat wave

normal cave
#

Lol lmao ice types

ashen barn
#

Typhlosion did not get an Etrian variant, unlike meganium and feraligatr, but it sure got a small buff in spatk

normal cave
#

All it needed

#

Typh does one thing and one thing only

ashen barn
#

Wait no

#

It actually got a stat decrease in spatk

#

By 4

#

The buff was in speed

#

From 95 to 110

normal cave
#

Even better

normal cave
#

Typh only needs 2 stats

#

Speed and spatk

ashen barn
#

It got 2 points in def, 7 in hp, -4 in spatk, and 15 in speed

normal cave
#

Defensive boosts will help nuzlockers or something

ashen barn
#

The meganium buffs were something

normal cave
#

But otherwise you only really want to be clicking eruption

pseudo goblet
#

Eat the sushi

ashen barn
#

10 in hp
5 in each def
Grass dragon with ability venom blood

#

Basically you have stab poison too

normal cave
#

Oh wow the defensive support mon gets more stab

ashen barn
#

It lost access to the powder moves, as many other mons

#

But gained toxic

#

Oh, and also dragon stab with ddance as well

normal cave
#

Is toxic even good on doubles?

normal cave
#

Okay that changes things

#

Even meganium's soft little nubs can do something with a ddance or 6

ashen barn
#

Very few mons get access to haze or toxic

normal cave
ashen barn
#

Btw ledian is no longer useless

normal cave
#

The ussr must be back the way you stalin'

ashen barn
#

It got a 40 stat increase and a stab rebalance

#

Also huge power

normal cave
#

They did the impossible

#

They buffed ledian meaningfully

ashen barn
#

So. With 430 bst, it's now

70 hp
65 atk
60 def
35 spatk
110 spdef
90 speed

#

With 2 great signature moves

#

And actual flying stab

normal cave
#

Not amazing, but that 65 atk is deceptive

ashen barn
#

It's also one of the few mons to have access to baton pass

ashen barn
#

Ariados is now bug dark with intimidate and a 490bst, buffing everything meaningfully

Hell, lanturn got a small defenses boost and 20 more hp, going to 145

Xatu is one of the strongest attackers in the game

pseudo goblet
ashen barn
#

Xatu is really cool because it takes full advantage of the item winged boots, a 10% speed increase

normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

Hold up

#

Imma be real here, what move is that

#

That aint no Hyper Beam

normal cave
#

Draco meteor maybe

ashen barn
#

Xatu is the Prophet class from EO
Electric aether (and not that weak to ground)
70 hp, atk and def
120 spatk
110 spdef
80 speed

But also 2 insane abilities in flare boost and...singularity

pseudo goblet
pseudo goblet
#

New one

ashen barn
#

Flare boost is a 50% spatk increase if burned (yes there is a flame orb)
Singularity instead is...expert belt boost to ice and fire.

#

Half a stab

#

And you get access to tbolt, roost, ice beam, and heat wave

normal cave
#

Stab boltbeam

#

ACTUAL boltbeam

ashen barn
#

Unfortunately 88 speed with the boots is not great

#

Given also your newfound weaknesses to poison and dark

#

You are able to basically fry anything coming in

pseudo goblet
ashen barn
#

But 1 sucker punch and you die

#

Btw bellossom randomly was buffed to be insane

#

Carrying the botanist class from EO, it's now psychic grass...
85 hp
55 atk
110 def
90 spatk
110 spdef
55 speed

And either chlorophyll or botanist

#

Botanist gives priority to the "herb" moves

ashen barn
#

Including toxic herb, sleep powder, weird potion, potion bomb

#

And she also gets leech and quiver and weather ball

normal cave
#

55 speed means little if half your moveset is priority

ashen barn
#

Btw potion bomb is psychic 80 power with a 15% flinch

#

And weird potion is fucking pollen puff

normal cave
#

Absolutely insane

ashen barn
#

Toxic herb is double toxic but as attack with a 40% chance to proc

normal cave
#

Huh?

ashen barn
#

70 power grass move

#

Spread

#

With a 40% chance to trigger toxic poison

normal cave
#

70 bp grass spread with priority

#

Yeah bello seems bullshit

ashen barn
#

She is

#

The typing is intentionally done so this little happy flower with a basket doesn't fucking run you over

normal cave
#

Slap a choice specs or LO on her and nuke shit

ashen barn
#

Also, wigglytuff is normal ground with interesting buffs

normal cave
#

You can run quiet

ashen barn
#

Using the villager class in EO, she gets access to...interesting moves

#

Rotten egg is double parting shot without the switch
Strange seeds is -1 speed and evasion, spread
Lullaby is likely your first roadblock as she's the lead mon in the 1st captain fight: 50% accuracy, spread, sleep. On a tank.
And then there's harvest party, 80 power ground. THAT DOUBLES IF THE OPPONENT HAS A STATUS CONDITION

#

But besides 1st captain, you meet Wiggly a few times...one encounter in the 3rd stratum is great tho

#

There's a harvest moon reference
1 dude with 4 wiggly

warm sky
#

How are you Nuzlocking VGC

#

Btw @normal cave @fading stratus I just realized but 66 stat points actually gives more than 510 EVs

Because you can max 2 stats out (32 each) and then instead of putting the last 6 to increase a random stat like HP by 1, you can increase it by 2

#

This will actually affect some of the wacky VGC EV Spreads no?

I miss 1 mon in the entire game now

#

Chimecho, only found at the Etria Graveyard

#

It's a 6% though, ugh

#

I found a shiny murkrow before 1 chime boy

#

Finally

#

87 hours 20 minutes, also accounting for the idle times. Claret Hollows is open, I'm going in.

fading stratus
#

Not necessarily wacky

#

Idt 1 extra point even makes much difference

normal cave
fading stratus
#

You could always get 1 extra point if you EV'd funnily anyway

#

Because of the jump point

#

behold 67 stat points

#

not even 66

warm sky
#

Again, imagining a lot more streamlined creation

fading stratus
#

EVs in general will be removed looks like

#

they're just stat points

#

which kinda function like EVs

#

I'm more interested in how they'll implement this in mainline games

#

since y'know defeating a mon gives EVs that's not enough to be 1 stat point

#

as of rn

ashen barn
#

Ok so
What I made fun of earlier turned out to also have a big boost on top

#

Base mons have:
200 hp
100atk and def
150 special atk and def
90 speed
+omniboost

#

This omniboost can trip me up

I think the most “fun” tweet about Mable I saw was one kinda spitballing about the bags under her eyes actually being from Xerosic doing some fucked stuff with the scientist girls visors while they were in team flare

Taking inspiration from Dragonair's design is just, a perfect way to have it.

Cool, regained the pass to ping Symph for Dnite lol

hasty anchor
#

Ok but can we agree that whatever ability it has must be something that makes it Hyper Beam things superhard

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

I was thinking something that'd turn Normal-type moves into Dragon-type moves

pseudo goblet
#

Huh, we didnt thought of that, we were going with Aerielate and Pixilate

hasty anchor
#

Ended up making this for fun; an updated Johto Pokédex, including everything added over the years

#

Original Johto had 251, whereas Heartgold-Soulsilver brought the total (at least the in-game dex, insofar as what's listed) brought the total to 256.

#

This isn't really 331 though, most these new spots are just regional formes

Dragonite is supposed to be derpy

you know I saw a post theorizing if m-dragonite rather than trying to remain a physical powerhouse

#

could be a side grade

#

focussing on like

#

drizzle hurricanes

normal cave
#

Maybe

#

It does look the part

#

Special attackers not needing to deal with incineroar existing is nice

#

Well, until it uses AV or hits them with a knock off

normal cave
#

But megas take less damage from knock off

normal cave
outer eagle
#

dragonite trying to revert back to its gen 5 special set would be funny

normal cave
#

WoW is one of the most popular moves on Incin

#

Alongside knock off, parting shot, fake out, flare blitz (in wow's slot), and ofc protect

ashen barn
#

Is there a move the damned cat doesn't get

normal cave
#

Not one it wants I think

#

It even gets U-Turn to break sash and run AV

outer eagle
#

well it certainly would want sacred fire but hey cheems

normal cave
#

Flare Blitz is good enough

#

Sacred Fire is better

#

But it's a better version of Flare Blitz

#

Also restricted to one legendary and one box legendary who are related

fading stratus
#

not necessarily

#

sacred fire can miss and has less bp

#

so its just tradeoff

normal cave
#

True

hasty anchor
#

Raging Fury?

normal cave
#

But I think a bulk-oriented mon would prefer sacred fire

hasty anchor
#

Basically just fire-type take on Thrash

fading stratus
#

wow is definitely not one of the most popular move on incin

hasty anchor
#

Which, isn't great compared, but you would think the fiery tiger based on a wrestling heel would get it

normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

… weird idea, how busted would a Dragonite that can learn every move be monkaTOAD

normal cave
#

Very

pseudo goblet
#

Outside of signature moves ofc

normal cave
#

Very

hasty anchor
#

Dragonite has a loooot of special-based moves

normal cave
#

Dragonite with shell smash and Espeed

#

And spore

hasty anchor
#

Which makes it jarring when you learn it's more at home landing a punch than firing beams

normal cave
#

A mon with both tailwind and spore

pseudo goblet
#

Can Mew learn Spore??

hasty anchor
#

At least it's still at home using special attacks. Can't say the same about Gyrados or Tyranitar lol

normal cave
#

Hell Dnite probs runs only Espeed as its attack move anyways and plays spore tailwind support

pseudo goblet
#

I was thinking Dragonite copying Mew

normal cave
hasty anchor
#

If it's a TM, Mew can learn it

normal cave
#

Very different

fading stratus
#

I looked at the stats of recent smogon tournament and wisp was 7th most popular move in incin

pseudo goblet
#

Ahhh

hasty anchor
#

Only limit is really, what game you are playing

fading stratus
#

used less than mind you helping hand

pseudo goblet
#

Okay yeah TMs

normal cave
#

Helping hand is really good

normal cave
hasty anchor
#

Also very in-character for Dragonite!

normal cave
#

Every tm move gives Dnite uturn

#

And I think brave bird

#

And knock off

#

And maybe fake out

warm sky
#

but yes knock and bb

pseudo goblet

… did Aerialate and Pixilate mons had Fake Out??

fading stratus

hasty anchor

...Normalize mons can get fake out!

Oh yeah, forgot thats exist lol

hasty anchor

But nope, none to my knowledge

Yeah Normalize is weird

normal cave
#

Give mega pinsir fake out cowards

fading stratus
#

give it fake out who cares

#

it doesnt do shit even with FO

pseudo goblet
#

Instantly ranks up lmao

warm sky
#

u-turn, drain punch, poison jab, iron head, gunk shot, drill run, crunch, liquidation, play rough, flare blitz, close combat, high horsepower, flip turn, poltergeist, throat chop, bulk up, sword dance, just to name a few

hasty anchor
#

Fake Out is a free turn, admittedly

warm sky
#

COULD YOU IMAGINE

#

TERA NORMAL SWORD DANCE E-SPEED

hasty anchor
#

Gives Pinsir time to gain access to it's newer speed stat

fading stratus
#

so that isnt as good

pseudo goblet
#

Waits whats Poltergeist again??

fading stratus
#

in doubles its a utility move

hasty anchor
#

Powerful ghost-type move

fading stratus
#

does damage if opp has held item

#

100 bp iirc

hasty anchor
#

120 BP if memory serves, physical, but only does damage if the target holds an item

warm sky
hasty anchor
#

...Which 99% of the time they will

… why????

also berries

ever thought of that

Huh, I do have it

Just uh, only use it during linked battles

its so funny that 2 of the best mons in the game are starters you get while starting your game

ash greninja was never legal

#

it's an event mon

#

and even if it was legal idt it'd be great

pseudo goblet

I meant Protean

it was never good with protean

#

glasscannons in general aren't good in doubles

pseudo goblet

Torrent?

fading stratus
#

no greninja wasn't good

pseudo goblet

How glass is it peepoS

#

Singles? Surely

fading stratus

it has top 8'd a few regionals

but it was in sun moon usum format

where mind you games devolved into porygon 2 mirrors because the format was so slow

hasty anchor

You can keep your combo potential and whatnot, give me the Alolan Whip!

fading stratus
#

they completely reworked the glass cannon archetype this time tho

#

chi yu and chien pao are insane

#

even if they're glass cannons

#

I'll be real that 95/103 offenses aren't great either

hasty anchor
#

Ting Lu is just funny

#

Like, apparently some madmen decide the best course of action is just

#

Fissure

fading stratus
#

it didnt last long

#

people realised ruination is better

hasty anchor
#

Cause why bother with statistics when you know nothing too substantial is gonna scratch it, and why bother doing math when you can one-hit KO stuff?

fading stratus
#

fissure's appeal was if you miss you get a 150 base power stomping tantrum

hasty anchor
#

I tend to forget about Stomping Tantrum a few times

#

Mostly just thinking it as "That move you use when whatever learns it can't learn any other ground-type attacking move you want"

#

At least Temper Flare's alright, since most things learning it otherwise don't get a physical-based fire-type move

fading stratus
#

eh temper flare isnt good

hasty anchor
#

Yeah it's just
Fine

fading stratus
#

what fire type even gets temper flare but not blitz

hasty anchor
#

But it's more just there in case something can't learn anything else

#

...I guess in case something can't learn Fire Punch?

#

Not everyone has arms

fading stratus
#

blitz symph

hasty anchor
#

Oh

fading stratus
#

that 45 base power difference is kinda huge

#

its almost double difference

hasty anchor
#

Admittedly the only things that do learn Flare Blitz are fire-types. Thinking the only things that aren't fire-type but use it for coverage are like

#

Solgaleo? I guess?

fading stratus
#

solgaleo gets blitz

hasty anchor
#

Oh right, and Koraidon

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

flare blitz is best move of koraidon

#

flare blitz life orb in sun tera fire kills anything that doesnt resist it twice

hasty anchor
#

Oh wow, Salamence can get Temper Flare. Guess that's an option over... I guess Fire Fang lol

#

But then again, Salamence has other options like Flamethrower and stuff, so

fading stratus
#

never in doubles atleast

#

maybe in singles

#

but yeah mence is generally a sp attacker anyway

hasty anchor
#

It's really offputting, cause I see that big ATK stat, and want to use physical attacks

#

But it's also got plenty of special attacks

#

Mostly has the same quirk as Dragonite in that regard

fading stratus
#

dnite is almost always used as a physical attacker

#

mence meanwhile is used as a special attacker generally

#

because draco is more power than anything it gets physically

hasty anchor
#

Feels like picking Outrage as an attacking move is just asking for Clefable or something to come ruin your day

normal cave
#

Tera fairy is too common

fading stratus
#

you wont get locked

hasty anchor
#

And when you run into that, the dragon is in optimal "hit me" position

fading stratus

you can however be confused

#

you can switch moves if a fairy switches in to outrage
