Strongly tempted to start a Nuzlocke run. Never done one before, but it might be an interesting challenge.

Didn't know they already had romhacks of the new games. That was fast O_o

But no, I was thinking of doing Ruby. That version had some of my all-time favorite mons.

Most simulators that run on Wifi rules don't allow unreleased Dream World abilities.

Also, remember that Ubers classification isn't just about strength, it's also about centralizing the meta.  If every team needs a specific strategy to counter contrary/leafstorm serperior, that could be grounds for banishment too.

And let me rephrase that, a pokemon with contrary and leaf storm that can actually put it to good use. Ninjask isn't uber because even with free +6 speed he's not gonna crush a decent team, whereas Blaziken is, because he can.

Ninjask is fast, and that's about all he's got going for him. Swords Dance + Baton Pass + Focus Sash as a suicide baton passing lead is about all he can do.

Blaziken has one of the best offensive types in the game- with fire and fighting, it can supereffectively hit grass, ice, steel, rock, normal, bug, dark (7 / 18 types), neutrally hit everything under the sun, and immune to nothing. That's just counting its STAB moves. It was a powerhouse even before Speed Boost.

Wait, WHAT?

They gave Blaziken SPEED BOOST? I had to look that up just out of disbelief. What the heck happened with the Dream World? Seriously, I'm mostly a gen 3 player, so this is weirding me out just a tad.

[Reudh]

Yeah, Blaziken fared the best out of the starters with its dream world ability.

Swampert, for example, got Damp. That's pretty terrible. All it is, is it becomes immune to the now-nerfed Explosion and Selfdestruct, and Aftermath.

Sceptile got Unburden. Not a very good ability considering it's already quite fast. +1 speed when its item is used. Nowhere near as powerful as Speed Boost.

Damp is pretty bad, I think. I mean, it completely prevents Explosion's usage, meaning they won't even self-KO, right?

I can see Unburden being mildly useful in tough battles against the NPCs of the game, but Sceptile doesn't have Endure, does he? If he could learn Endure, then I could see him being an okay revenge killer (although certainly not against Blaziken's Speed Boost, my God...)

[Reudh]

Unburden means it's faster than pretty much everything in RU. Even Choice Scarf users.

Unburden doubles the user's speed when used (so +2 speed). A +nature, 31 IV, 252 speed EV Sceptile reaches 372 + 372 = 744 speed, outspeeding everything in the tier. It's useful as a subseeder, but Whimsicott outshadows it.

[penguinofhonor]

Damp is good for catching Pokemon! I want to get a Damp+Spore+False Swipe Parasect.

The ultimate catching Pokemon has Damp and its moves are False Swipe, Foresight or Odor Sleuth (to false swipe ghosts), any sleep move, and Mean Look or Block or Spider Web. That way nothing can escape, nothing can blow itself up, and nothing can be immune.

The only potential outs of being caught after that are recoil and running out of PP.

Ninjask is fast, and that's about all he's got going for him. Swords Dance + Baton Pass + Focus Sash as a suicide baton passing lead is about all he can do.

OHKO'ing Deoxys forms and Mew(two) with X-scissor (especially after Swords Dance) is pretty satisfying, too. If the enemy expects a pass, you can sometimes pull out unexpected shenanigans on their psychic and grass types. That attack stat isn't too shabby.

Meloetta is being distributed in North America Gamestop's from March 4th to 24th

[penguinofhonor]

oh my god finally

Also some good news: this is for BW and BW2! Which means I get to have two Meloettas since I'm getting B2 this weekend. Bahaha.

[Heron TSG]

Hooray! This will actually be my first event Pokemon, since I now live less than two hours' journey from the nearest GameStop. 

[Sirus]

I think there's a GameStop here in town!
