90/125/80/90/90/125
Ghost/Fighting

Notable moves:
Rolling Kick
Shadow Sneak
Pursuit
Specteral Thief = 90 power. Steals enemy stat boosts then it attacks.

This thing is gonna be a beast.

 

[Soul.]

Dunno if anyone considers abilities spoilers but just in case.

Anyways the ****.

Spoiler

I know about most of these but the dogs' HAs are ****ing trash. Why?? What was wrong with their old abilities? Man, GF is being seriously...

Mmm I got some not nice words about some of these damn changes. And why the hell is everything so damn SLOW?? It really does grind me up.

Spoiler

I dunno tbh

Maybe they wanted to focus more on buffing Pokémon from previous Gens?

Slush Rush is literally Sand Rush/Swift Swim/Chlorophyll during hail

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

WARNING SPOILER ON ULTRA BEASTS

Spoiler

OMG Laughing

Buzzwole, the swollen pokemon

He is Swollsquito after all

Hell ****in' yeah he's going on my team. I want a shiny one, don't even care. If I have to hack it or if it's released in an event

Going to get it

 

[powerprotoman]

and now a bunch of pokemon stat videos in a spoiler so you can ignore it if you so choose
also its only new pokemon no alolan forms
you have been warned

Spoiler: Final warning the videos will be in this spoiler

 

[Ivander]

Geez, first time I've been actually trying to avoid story spoilers. Doesn't help that some of them aren't labeled Story spoilers.

That being said,

Spoiler: Base Stat spoilers

Apparently, GF really hates speed in this Gen. Not only are a majority of the new Pokemon slow, but some even have abilities that negate Priority moves.

Spoiler

I dunno man. Its just frustrating, in my opinion.

As for Slush Rush, you better bet your sweet ass I'm grabbing a Beartic. A speed boost under damaging weather conditions is an incredibly useful ability. Beartic hopefully got stat buffs in defenses so it can grow more in usage.

 

[Deleted member]

Need ability confirmations. Do we have any?

EDIT: Lol Morelull

Spoiler

has an attack called Strength Sap that heals the user by the amount of the enemy's Attack stat, then lowers the target's Attack.

Spoiler

Well, that couldn't possibly be broken at all

Spoiler

Really Game Freak? Another Pokemon that is useless when it's male?

Spoiler

The biggest problem is that it's more likely to be male than female
Either just make it 100% female or make a male evo

All the pokemon i like have good stats.

Nice
Right now i just want to know what Oranguru's stats and movepool is and whether or not it will be useless in singleplayer and purelyfocused on his gimmick

PS is N in the battle tree? i dont want to spoil ALL of them but wouldnt mind knowing that one.

My post before that one had the pastebin with all the new Pokemon stats

Spoiler

Oranguru's abilities are all double battle focused outside of Inner Focus so yeah, RIP Singles for it

Spoiler

ARGH! Why did they make Turtonator's signature attack special when it has a higher attack

Spoiler

It has higher Sp.Atk though

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Happy(?) Election Day people. It's kinda sobering to think about this actually. All the nonsense of this election cycle is almost over. For that much, I'm glad.

If you're able to go out to the polls today, I'd recommend it. Even if you don't live in swing state, there's probably some state or local issues on the ballot that could actually affect your day to day life. Don't be like me who forget to even register this time around.

No matter what happens today, the peeps you disagree with are still gonna be around. So don't forget to remain civil no matter happens.

Noe back to your regularly scheduled pokemans spoilers. I know ain't reading them!

Spectral Thief is literally cancer. What the ****. Use it on Xerneas on predict.

Otherwise, I like this Pokémon a lot. Its cute AND effective.

 

[Opossum]

Spoiler: Minor plot spoilers about a character cameo

Does anyone know the extent of Looker's appearances in the game?

 

[Chrono.]

Hey how does Rockruff evolve?

Spoiler

I saw the stats and I definitely prefer Midnight form.

 

[Champ Gold]

Hey how does Rockruff evolve?

Spoiler

I saw the stats and I definitely prefer Midnight form.

Spoiler

Day form has way better speed

 

[Ivander]

So besides Incineroar, do we have movesets for Lycanroc, Tsareena and Ribombee?

 

[Mythra]

Spoiler

Buzzswole is now my inspiration to work out and get gains.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Spoiler

Either just make it 100% female or make a male evo

Spoiler

Exactly. I doubt anyone wants a male Salandit now.

 

[Coricus]

Spoiler: Story Spoiler

Spoiler: For The Love Of Cookies Story Spoiler

I was right about that one battle animation having something up with it like there was a trainer and an Ultra Beast in the same frame with it panning up. I just didn't expect the trainer to be shoved INSIDE the Ultra Beast.

On a side note, I had this thought pop into my head for gosh knows what reason, so I sketched it real quick.

Spoiler: Large Cruddy Extreme Spoiler Image

Double wrapped for your protection, with a prize in the center.

 

[Deleted member]

Some stuff

Spoiler

-Mimikyu DOES get Play Rough and WOOD HAMMER
-Wishiwashi's School form BST is MASSIVE at 630, but thanks to low HP and Spd, it might not be able to maintain it for a long time
-The TCG Mon and its evolution get Merciless which guarantees crits in a poisoned Pokemon. They also get Baneful Bunker which protects and poison Pokemon that make contact with it
-The Water Spider gets Water Bubble which lowers Fire damage done to it and prevents Burns. It also gets two ne moves: Lunge, a physical 80BP Bug kove that lowers the target's attack and Liquidation, a physical 85BP Water move that lowers the target's Defense
-Solar Blade is physical Solar Beam with 125BP instead of 120BP. Seems to be exclusive to Lurantis so far
-Wimpod's evo gets Liquidation too and First Impression: a physical 90BP Bug move that only works on the first turn. Its ability changes to Emergency Exit which has the same effect as Wimp Out but has the Pokemon switch out because "it sensed danger" instead of "cowardly"(which I think is a pretty nice touch actually)
-Komala's ability makes it so that it's ALWAYS asleep but allows it to act during it(which is why it prevents other Status conditions)
-Shell Trap ISN'T a Counter-like move, having a set BP at 150 and being Special, though it will only trigger if Turtonator is hit by a Physical move on that turn. It also seems to be a Moon exclusive
-Anchormon is Grass/Ghost and has Steelworker which gives it STAB for Steel type moves
-Kommo-o has 10 more Atk than Sp.Atk yet Clanging Scales is Special with 110BP and is a Dragon type move
-Ribombee gets a special AOE Bug type move with 90BP that heals allies from status conditions instead of damaging them

 

[FalKoopa]

Spoiler: Moves related

So Leech Life has been buffed to Base Power 80?

Wow. Thank you. Bug Types needed this dramatic buff.

 

[Aurane]

Spoiler: Alolan Spoilers

Okay first things first- ALOLAN VULPIX STILL GETS HEAT WAVE AS AN EGG MOVE LOLOLOL

Heat Wave/Ice Beam/Dark Pulse/Nasty Plot. Knew it was gonna be so!

Also Alolan Golem has Magnet Pull. Can learn earthquake/Stone Edge/Wild Charge... Yeah, Magnezone is getting dunked this gen. ;(

And Alolan Sandslash gets Slush Rush. **** YEAH!

 

[Chrono.]

Spoiler

Day form has way better speed

Spoiler

I know, I'm just saying I prefer Midnight's extra bulk.

I haven't looked at their movepools though so idk how different those are.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I forgot that waterfall flinched so, it possibly still is the best (physical) water move

Though if you aren't in trick room, waterfall is going to be useless with that speed

 

[Chrono.]

So besides Incineroar, do we have movesets for Lycanroc, Tsareena and Ribombee?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y185tWJkC0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvkFsQfnYZk

They're there.

 

[Mythra]

Spoiler: Ultra Beasts

Kartana having 181 base attack is GFs way to show us paper cuts hurt a lot.

 

[Soul.]

Spoiler

I dunno man. Its just frustrating, in my opinion.

As for Slush Rush, you better bet your sweet *** I'm grabbing a Beartic. A speed boost under damaging weather conditions is an incredibly useful ability. Beartic hopefully got stat buffs in defenses so it can grow more in usage.

Spoiler

It only got a +20 boost in Attack. So now it has base 130 Attack

 

[Chrono.]

lol Alolan forms.

Spoiler

They only got changes in typing, movepools and abilities. Stats and distribution is the same for all of them.

Also Perfect Zygarde is a bit disappointing, it's just the same as before but with more HP.

 

[A Distant Demon]

been panicking aince last night when i realized i had an exam tody i blanked out on.


Just took it and feel reasonably confident.

big sigh of relief.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Spoiler

Why did it take 7 gens to get a bug legendary truly deserving of the title of legendary?

 

[powerprotoman]

lol Alolan forms.

Spoiler

They only got changes in typing, movepools and abilities. Stats and distribution is the same for all of them.

Also Perfect Zygarde is a bit disappointing, it's just the same as before but with more HP.

well thats wrong i just compared to the gen 6 stats and they are mostly different

Spoiler: alolan pokemon stats video

dugtrio is infact the only alolan form to Get an additonal 20 points in its bst

 

[Soul.]

YOOOOO FLYGON GETS DRAGON DANCE

****ING FINALLY

And Bellossom gets Quiver Dance

 

[Wario Bros.]

Think I'm done with spollers for now.

Though I'd like the the English names, Nat Dex numbers, and typing.

 

[praline]

Hey looks like I might get banned soon. Nice! lol

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Hey looks like I might get banned soon. Nice! lol

nooo not nice. not nice at aaaall

 

[Aetheri]

Sooooo...

I'm just wondering if Haxorus finally gets Iron Head....

 

[Burruni]

Spoiler

Everything's slow.
Mimikyu's physical.
MINIOR DOESN'T LEARN FLYING MOVES BY LEVEL UP, AND ONLY ACROBATICS BY TM.
THE ENTIRE PSUEDO LINE GETS NO FIGHTING MOVES BY LEVEL UP.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!

 

[Aurane]

YOOOOO FLYGON GETS DRAGON DANCE

****ING FINALLY

And Bellossom gets Quiver Dance

Yo Flygon gets DD? That's some cool ****. About time too cause I hate using Scarf on it. Honestly though-the real hype here is Bellossom. I've always wanted Bell to get a buff this generation and Quiver Dance is the best thing it could get. Quiver Dance/Energy Ball/Sludge Bomb/Dazzling Gleam sounds pretty legit.

 

[RamOne]

Azumarill doesn't learn Aqua Jet and Belly Drum anymore. That's pretty big, isn't it?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Azumarill doesn't learn Aqua Jet and Belly Drum anymore. That's pretty big, isn't it?

What happens to the Azumarrils that have it?

 

[Opossum]

I really think I'm gonna shake up my predicted team now.

Spoiler

Lurantis is actually pretty disappointing for a Mon I was hyped for. Don't get me wrong, it could have awesome use as a Sun Sweeper with access to Contrary Leaf Storm/non-Contrary Solar Blade, plus Weather Ball access...I just don't use Sun on my teams so its use is limited.

Also as expected Oranguru doesn't have a whole lot outside doubles, but Psychic Terrain is still nice for singles, so he stays.

Projected Team:
- Primarina
- Toucannon
- Mudsdale
- Turtonator (MOON EXCLUSIVE YES)
- Oranguru
- Anchormon...what was its name again? It looks AWESOME.

 

[Soul.]

Azumarill doesn't learn Aqua Jet and Belly Drum anymore. That's pretty big, isn't it?

Aren't these moves Egg Moves? They were in Gen VI

It might still learn them if you breed one
