Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Did the Team Planner thing:

Spoiler

Looks like Flying and Ice are the biggest weaknesses of my team. However, I've still got both covered (Alolan Raichu for Flying and Salazzle for Ice).

Not many immunities, but resistances look good: Grass, Water, Fighting, Electric and Steel are all resisted by half of the team.

Also, this is my first team since HeartGold that doesn't have a Dark type.

 

[Aetheri]

Spoiler: SuMo Team v90001

1. Araquanid
Araquanid doesn't do much.
Araquanid soaks the opponent.
Araquanid scalds the opponent.
Araquanid is happy.
Araquanid is done with his job.

2. Decidueye
Did you know? He can actually heal himself really well between Roost and Synthesis (I'm pretty sure one of these doods has Sunny Day as well)
This allows for some neat tricks where he can up his Defense through moves he hopefully has before Baton Passing them to:

3. Oricorio
With Decidueye's Defense buffs, Oricorio in turn can Sword Dance the living hell out of itself before Baton Passing it all to:

4. Dhelmise
Dhelmise never dies, since Oricorio Baton Passed every Sword Dance onto him.
Dhelmise then has access to Mega Drain, which not only deals more damage because of [Sp Attack Buff Move Ori Baton Passes] , but also because of the soaked opponent. This means that Mega Drains gives even more HP to Dhelmise.

5. Toucannon
Skill Link Bullet Seed can wreck the (soaked!) opponent.
Then he U-Turns in order not to die.

6. Toxapex
Merciless + Poison everything.
Lel
Also toxic spikes. Also traps.

Pretty sure Mega Drain is unaffected by Swords Dance because its Special...Swords Dance only boosts Physical Attack...

Why does everyone keep saying this?

WHAT HAVE I DO TO YOU PEOPLE?

It's racist code for purifying America of dirty Mexicans or something. 99% sure on that.

I was just making a joke....

 

[MF Viewtiful]

I never heard of "drain le swamp" or whatever was said before. Then again I don't pay attention to bozos and clowns like Sargon, so whatever.

 

[Z25]

So I have a question for anyone familiar with Homebrew.

I have a working New 3ds with menu hacks installed. I thought my L and R buttons were broke so I stopped using it, Recently I fixed them though and trying get back into homebrew ( want to finish Star Sapphire).

When holding down L it didn't work for some reason.

I've seen similar errors but with no answer that helped fix mine.

Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps you know since you follow the scene @epicmartin7

Burn has been nerfed. Damage is now 6%.

Apparently the chance of hurting yourself in confusion was decreased, too.

Looked it up.

Was coined to combat terrorism almost a decade ago.

If it was a racial thing, it's been made that recently.

Dang that's one of my strategies now. Going have to rework it.

Man if you really wanna ruin your day, google racial slur database. It's both impressive and depressing the things people of come up with.

Now if we're talking about funny fake slurs, I recently fell love with the term "Snow Mexican" for Canadians. It's a pretty choice term in my opinion.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Aetheri I noticed, but I'm pretty sure Ori can learn a Sp Attack boosting move too

YES.

Now my Flame Orb/Guts/Facade Ursaring can sweep even longer! :D

 

[Ivander]

Here's my SM Team.

Spoiler

I'm still having alot of thought processing with that last one. That last spot is going to be a tough one to choose for.

Also, I just realized that Ribombee can absolutely destroy Kommo-o. Ribombee has immunity to Dragon and it has a 4x resistance to Fighting. And it has Quiver Dance. Ribombee for OU!

 

[Aetheri]

Aetheri I noticed, but I'm pretty sure Ori can learn a Sp Attack boosting move too

I think Nasty Plot is the special equivalent of Swords Dance...I'm not sure if Oricorio can learn it or not...
I haven't checked Oricorio's moveset...

Can Kommo'o get any rock move?

Rock Tomb, Rock Slide and Sandstorm through TM, yes

If Kommo-o gets Rock, Steel, Poison, and/or Fire type moves it probably won't matter

 

[Z25]

Its apparently a year since badge arcade opened.

When I went on the bunny asked if I knew why he was excited, and one of the answers is "because your getting fired."

I laughed so hard at. Almost choice it to.

But all badge bundles are 50 percent off.

Which isn't bad if you pay for them. With all the hype around it, I feel pretty confident that he'll get into Smash Switch.

 

[Aurane]

Ribombee for OU!

Kommo-o can still beat it through TM means. Rock Slide, etc.. But Ribombee can outspeed on it. One Moonblast and its likely done. But its not enough to determine its tier.

Ribombee does look promising though.

 

[Deleted member]

I swear that everyday you guys make it more and more so apparent that you're hyper sensitive.

No, it has nothing to do with that, he's reffering to political corruption.

 

[Ivander]

Rock Slide, Flamethrower, Poison Jab. But those don't really matter when Ribombee can outspeed it and hit it for 4x damage with Moonblast. And Kommo-o's Special Defense is lower than it's Defense.

It may not have the best defenses, but a 4x resistance to Fighting is pretty big, considering how hugely common those moves are.

If you're reffering to Trump saying that, that's yet another fake quote.

For anyone interested some footage and details on a canned Diddy Kong Racing sequel have surfaced:

Can we not being up politics in this thread for a while?

Spoiler

Burn was already a better Poison so this counterbalances it
The confusion thing was already known though, even more salt for when your Pokemon keeps hitting itself

Aetheri I noticed, but I'm pretty sure Ori can learn a Sp Attack boosting move too

Spoiler

Oricorio can't learn the one move it'd make sense for it to learn, that being Quiver Dance.
It doesn't even get that many Dance moves, out of 10(including its signature move), it only learns 4: Feather Dance, Teeter Dance, Swords Dance and Revelation Dance
And RD is the only STAB it'll get outside of Flying moves

 

[Aurane]

It may not have the best defenses, but a 4x resistance to Fighting is pretty big, considering how hugely common those moves are.

You know what else has a 4x resistance to Fighting? Bug/Flying. And most are resting easy in NU. Having a good resistance doesn't mean its OU material. I'm not doubting the possibility but right now I don't see it. I'll need to put it through testing.

But Swamp politics are important and should be discussed!

 

[Deleted member]

Spoiler

Can I just say how pleased I am with Ribombee's stat distribution?
I didn't think it was going to be very powerful at first, but it's so freaking fast and has an alright special attack stat.
I'll might actually use it in one of my later playthroughs.
Ribombee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vikavolt

 

[Deleted member]

The funny thing about the teambuilder is that I got it from someone in this thread pages ago but no one even noticed it then

Also, some questions for those that looked into SM story spoilers, no spoiling please

Spoiler

1-Does anyone know how long the game is? Just the maingame not including postgame

2-Speaking of which, just a simple yes or no, but, does the so-called Alola League have any Gyms as some have theorized?

3-Can the UBs fight be considered proper boss fights? Or are they as weak as normal wild Pokemon?

4-Do the empty spaces in the map become anything if they aren't the future gym locations?

Since no ome answered these, I'm gonna try tagging @Erureido since I know he has seen story spoilers

 

[Aetheri]

No Bullet Punch? /smh

I'm actually curious if Bulletproof blocks Moonblast now or is it still the same as before...I know it can block Focus Blast...

 

[ChikoLad]

Everyone else is Pokemon "team building".

Then there's me.

Look, I'm just saying that the Smash Ballot was rigged. If K.Rool had won the primary he would have defeated Overwatch

And most of those Bug/Flyings are in NU because of either their Base stats or movepools, right? Ribombee has good Special Attack and Speed and has a good movepool to go with it. Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz and the Pollen move, Moonblast, Baton Pass, Energy Ball, Psychic, Roost and Substitute. And even Solar Beam for Sun teams. Already it has alot of variety in it's moveset compared to the likes of other Bug/Flying types like Ninjask.

Because if it's not, it'd be hilarious

Wait. . .I just heard something about Sun and Moon that may or may not be true.

WAIT, WHAT.

Well Infinite Universe Theory intensifies if this turns out to be true, then!

For the record, he said you can't get cover legendaries or UBs this way, but still. OKAY then.

Here's some news for the people who like the Sonic Boom TV show.

Sonic Boom's second season will now be mainly airing on Boomerang at 6pm Saturday. A much better time slot then Cartoon Network airing it at 6am.

It's also been confirmed that more characters from the main series will be appearing.
