So if pokemon can call other types into battle won't that screw up ev training certain stats? As in if I'm training hp and the poke calls in something that boosts a different stats won't that cause issues?

Urgh I can already hear someone rushing to create a click bait Pokémon theory video about how Cubone was "originally" going to be Kangaskhan pre-evolution. ¬_¬;

For the most part they're calling pokemon that offer the same EV parameter... and, if they don't, odds are you won't be using them to EV train anyhow.
I think this is a reference to an old theory that Cubone is actually a baby Kangaskhan.

I think that's the joke. So it would be like a complete circle then. People make up rumors of Cubone being a Kanga prevo, Game Freak has many keks and does this, and then people make clickbait videos about this "CONFIRMED THEORY"
Amazing.
Now if they only had something with like Pokemon calling Pokemon that had simialr cries to them in Gen 1 or something like Onix calling Cloyster.
I currently use Smug style lol. You cross your right arm over your left shoulder and throw while swinging your arm outward to the right.
I want smug style.

It sounds more like a adult showing up to help a lost child than someone looking for their own kid.

I expect it to switch under one condition. If your HP starts above 50% and goes below 50%.
Example (will switch):
67% -> 35%
51% -> 49%
100% -> 10%
Example (won't switch):
90% -> 51%
48% -> 10%
40% -> 28%
Bonus (won't switch):
100% -> 45% -> 60% (because of sitrus berry (that's what I heard at least))
This is my understanding at least. Correct me if I am wrong.
Hmm I didn't see it that way.
I just saw it that Cubone cries appealed to Kangaskhan mothering side and rushed to Cubone aids, kinda like surrogate which does happen in nature.

interesting. i could imagine it being pretty annoying if it triggeres every time you take damage below 50%, so i'm hoping that's not the case

WOAH. I can NOT have girly animations for my character? Best Pokemon game.
...Wonder if we'll see any video examples of these. Probably'll just end up needing to see it for myself when I get my copy.

That's why you run Rapid Spin/Defog.
Also I can't think of many trappers that would want to stay on this thing. Liquidation hits hard. Maybe Decidueye? Though it still gets hit by STAB Leech Life.
I sent a bunch of perfect froakies in xy, just not shiny.

i'm still shocked that they buffed leech life to 80 BP
Zubat finally has a useful move before he gets wing attack
does emergency exit work in the face of those moves? it's more of a compulsive thing than an active switch out afaik

All the Pokemon that used to learn Leech Life at an early level instead learn...Absorb.
Begging the question of why they bothered buffing it instead of making a new move to fill that niche.
Not that I'm really complaining, but... It doesn't make sense.
Wait does that mean Crobat learns Giga Drain? It'll no longer be walled by Rock types?
Spinosaurus
Member
No, unfortunately. Only Absorb.
EDIT: Oh actually, Giga Drain is an Egg Move now. Hasn't it always been that way though?

Just checked myself and yes, it has always had it and it also learns via Move Tutor. Weird, I've never seen anyone use it.

It's probably cause no one ever runs special Crobats

Late to the party, but I think this will be the team I am rolling with:
I think Alolan Marowak is the best "Alolan Form" of the gen 1 pokemon, and I may use it as well.
Only thing it's missing now is Aqua Jet.

It's not that crazy, since it gets Nasty Plot and has an okay special movepool.

Araquanid's water STAB hits harder than Keldeo Hydro Pump.
It's a shame it doesn't learn Sticky Web or Aqua Jet... or any other move you'd actually wanna use. I might have to resort to Double Team/Substitute.

I think this is what bothers me about GF more than anything; the blatant oversight when it comes to filling in gaps in a move set. Like Togedemaru. I plan to roll with it in my in-game team, but It's really stupid that it favors it's Attack Stat but doesn't learn any Physical Steel moves outside of Gyro Ball. Like seriously, no Iron Head?
Fulminator
Member
if cyrus will bring leech life back to us weaker pokemon i would gladly accept him as my leader
While Aqua Jet would be really good, but this thing certainly has some nice moves lol.
MrCookiepants
Member
Yeah, I dunno. They put together movesets based on flavor more than anything.
Kommo-o is supposed to be this great warrior, so it learns literally every offense boosting move under the sun. Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Bulk Up, Belly Drum, Work Up, Autotomize.
I guess GF decided that Togedemaru's head isn't strong enough to use a move like Iron Head. Though I can't imagine why Araquanid is the only spider mon not to learn Sticky Web...

hm sharpedo can learn psychic fang..with the buff to mega's, and a psychic type move to combat fighting types, i'm excited to use mega sharpedo again
i love sharpedo
i love sharpedo
Pikachu's tail is incredible enough to use Iron Tail, for comparison =p
Interesting, I think you're the first person I've seen say something bad about this games story (within the context of a Pokemon game). Can you go into what you didn't like about S&M story without using spoilers?
imo it doesn't. Sticky webs would have been really good on it offering it some team utility but as of now it has a big hole in its move pool I feel

Does anyone have any more details on the Battle Style thing?
Fulminator

hm i've only heard positive things about the game's story so far
gen IV had a mediocre story imo, and the part you're describing is actually one of my least favorite parts of the game lol, I hate Mt. Coronet
gen V is really the only gen where i enjoyed the story, but of course I don't play pokemon for the story, if it's good that's just icing lol

How did Bewear turn out, haven't seen a lot of discussion about him...
Also was Mantine one of the Pokemon who got a buff?

actually pretty good tbh
great hp and attack, and a pretty diverse move pool, and its ability is neat as well
assault vest bewear will be very interesting

After hearing Crabrawler isn't too good even in-game I'm tempted to switch...I love both their designs though.

Neat, I saw they gave Mega Alakazam a 10+ boost in Special Defense---he was the only Mega in Gen VI who didn't get a 100 BST boost, only a 90 BST boost.
I'm not him, but I thought it was alright, much better than most Pokemon game stories, buts that not a high bar at all so thats a useless point of reference lol. I liked BW's story much better due to N and the crazy events that went on at the league, but SM's story gave a decent account of itself, but it certainly won't be winning any awards for storytelling. I feel the story would have worked better if the kids involved were older, like Gen V and VI older. I know that GF made the BW protagonists older in order to fit with the story and I felt the same needed to happen here, because things felt weird at times with them being so young.
One major fault I have is the protagonist, well, not actually the protagonist but the character you play, I swear to god, everyone had different emoting faces except for them. It was hilarious at points where people were serious and the camera would pan to your character and they have that stupid smile on their face, that shit was dumb.
