  1. Is it even possible to get a 6 IV Ditto breeding/ wild catch at all? Or to make it hard try catching a Shiny one if your lucky. =P

     

    As I already said, Gen 4/5 RNG manipulation, but that requires Pokebank. Only way to do it within Gen 6 is to get lucky. That or GTS/Pokecheck.

  2. That guy was using Dig on Mega Garchomp and Rock Wrecker on his Rhyperior. I'm honestly not surprised at all that he lost. The only variants of Dig that are actually useful in battles are Bounce and Phantom Force, and even then they're never seen outside of VERY specific Pokemon, namely Gyarados, Trevenant, and Mega Banette.

  3. Mega Garchomp isn't so great. The Speed loss hurts it, and it'll go down to any powerful special Dragon- or Ice-type move because it won't be holding the Focus Sash.

     

    Very powerful though. Will take pretty much any other hit, too.

     

    Mega Garchomp isnt a sweeper. Mega Garchomp is a powerful mixed wall breaker that tears apart defensive Pokemon such as Gliscor, Skarmory, Hippowdon, and Ferrothorn in order to make way for another teammate to start sweeping without interruption. Its pretty much an upgraded Black Kyurem from last gen with a MUCH better typing.

  4. Dunno how I missed this but..

     

     

    I didn't know 'Rapid spin' disables trap moves like 'stealth rock', and spikes.   O_O

     

    The prevalence of entry hazards is the sole reason why Rapid Spin is even used. Just note that since Rapid Spin is a Normal type move, switching in a Ghost type the turn they use Rapid Spin will prevent them from removing your hazards, which is why I kept switching in Trevenant against that Excadrill. Excadrill, Forretress, Starmie, Donphan, Tentacruel, and, to a lesser extent, (Mega)Blastoise and Hitmontop are all excellent users of Rapid Spin.

     

    Of course Rapid Spin faces fierce competition from Defog this gen now that Defog removes entry hazards from both sides of the field instead of just those set up on your opponent's side and works even if they switch in their ghost type. The only downside to Defog is that its affected by Taunt, unlike Rapid Spin.

  5. I seriously need to ask the people praising this thing: have any of you actually TRIED playing as or fighting against this thing?

     

    • Fireball Super has literally 0-1 frame startup right after the super pause, and almost 0 recovery frames.
    • Fireball Special can hit crouching opponents, yet Fireball Super does not. Feels extremely inconsistent.
    • Command Grabs can hit airborne opponents. Not only that, but they can also hit opponents during HITSTUN, which is a big no no.
    • Ground Grind Command grab by itself does 50% life in damage.
    • From what I can tell, his level 3 grab is an OHKO, coupled with the same issues his other grabs have.
    • Absolutely no damage dampening of any kind, which only makes the last issues even more problematic.
    • Super GAIN BACK POWER
    • Launcher causes fall to p2. Considering that the template was obviously based on MvC, if you've ever played an actual MvC game then you'll know just how wrong this is.
    • All of his moves are pretty much safe on both hit and block.
    • If you thought his damage output was crazy, he also sports 2000 life.

    If this thing was meant as normal character then it seriously needs alot of work.

  6. Snorlax already gained OU viability this gen in the form of Assault Vest. Granted he'll still be classed as UU, doesn't mean he's not OU viable, kinda like what Slowbro was last gen; UU, but an excellent counter to Terrakion and Keldeo, two of the biggest threats in gen 5.

  7. I have a question about the storage system.

    You start out with seven storage boxes, but you get more if you have at least one Pokemon in each box. With this in mind, I really have to ask "What the **** is the point of unlocking them that way!?" Completely redundant. They might as well be initially unlocked.

     

    If you've ever been face to face with Platinum's 1 minute savetimes then you'll know the reason for this.
