I definitely want to see a VGC team with mega/ choice scarf ttar, mega garchomp with sand rush, and maybe excadrill with sand force or rush. Or even eject pack ttar so it switches out easier for excadrill

mega charizard y should get eruption and its drought should be changed to desolate land mega gyarados should get the ability strong jaw and moves fishious rend and jaw lock mega kangaskan should get the variation of ability as one (parental bond for the mommy and simple for the lil bro) and parental bond should be unnerfed

D-did you just call my favorite pokemon a PIKACHU CLONE?! That fucking tears it!!! *Loads shotgun with malicious intent*

For normalize, what you basically just described for it is to make all moves typeless.

stall was a heaven sent gift to sableye in gen 4

Might steal these ideas for my fan game lol

Your slow start is like canon regigigas which is to say it's absolutely busted

My idea for truant is that the pokemon cannot attack two times in a row, but can use status moves

Imagine if Normalize turned all your moves normal, gave an increase to STAB and/or changed any pokemon affected by your moves into normal type.

You just made pseudo legend Slaking

Golisopod with the changed ability would basically have a +3 Priority stronger U-turn with First Impression. Literal game changer for Golisopod.

Normalize is what normal types shouldve been like anyways. Having weaker hits than any stab supereffective moves should've been the trade-off of hitting everything for neutral dmg. There needs to be some pro for normal types. Since it's only benefit is being immune to ghost, but ghosts are immune to it as well.

Regigigas: Starts at -6 atk e speed. Id add also, +6 def, +6 spdef Cada turno ganha +1 de atk e speed, e perde 1 de def e sdef.

Castform forecast: When e tering in the battle with a weather inducing move, it casts the correponding weather. And also transforms form to the weather form. Now castform works as any weather setter

Good ideas, I have a different idea for Typhlosion. I would swap attack and special attack. After, I would take 10 special attack and put it into speed. Typhlosion gets Explosion, Flare Blitz, and Self-destruct as well. Finally, I would take your suggestion and give it Flame Body or Aftermath as its ability. This could make him a nasty exploder and fit with its dex entry.

Truant should also heal you for 25% hp during truant turns. A mini slack off. Seems fitting for a mon like slacking.

Slacking is supposed to Loaf around and do nothing on the truant turn due to laziness. Which is basically what Slackoff says it does. I feel like it should just force it to rest on that turn and do nothing, which gives it back 1/8 or 1/4 it's health in exchange

For Rivalry, I would add a nerf that the ability is nullified if the user is infatuated.

9:49 coaching

I used reddit to trade for calyrex. Problem solved

I’d recommend Mycelium Might having +3 priority to status moves like Spore, than just having Speed cut in half when status moves are used a turn.

For defeatist, just make Archeops lose its Flying type when it drops below 50% health

just call your new normalize into Tinted-scrap 😂

😳

For Rivalry, another change could be to ditch the gender focus altogether and make it a boost based on how much stronger (i.e., higher level) the opponent is. At the same level, it's a baseline boost of 1.2x, up to 1.5x if the opponent is 10+ levels higher. But against lower level opponents, the ability actually lowers the mon's damage output. Think Ash's Charizard in the anime (it would also be a cool and very lore accurate ability for Charizards to have in the games, but it kind of already has Solar Power for its HA, which isn't a bad ability at all). How Rivalry works right now is not only mostly based on a mechanic otherwise completely detached from battling (no, Attract/Cute Charm don't make gender an integral part of battles), but a lot of the mons it is given to don't even make sense having same sex rivalries. Nidoking is literally the only mon that makes sense with it as it works now, being a male-only counterpart with actual stat differences and an implied nomadic lifestyle. Even then, the female counterpart in Nidoqueen is explicitly stated to live in nests and burrows - as in they stay mainly within a static territory - and yet _they also have Rivalry as an ability._ Rivals with who, the kids in their nest? Even the Nidorans and Nidorina/Nidorino kind of don't work with the ability, but they're pre-evos that eventually evolve into something that has it, so I'll give them more of a pass. Let's go down the rest of the list: • Beautifly - actually the second best fit for the ability, since male butterflies (esp. aggressive species) are known to brawl over territory. Still doesn't explain why female Beautifly also have Rivalry, when, again, only male butterflies fight over territory in real life and nothing in Beautifly's lore implies that they are any different in that regard. • Luxray line - Based on lynxes, who are mostly solitary and thus male and female lynxes fight each other over territory as well. • Unfezant line - The third runner up in having the ability fit, but again female Unfezants also have Rivalry when it doesn't really make sense for them to. • Haxorus line - Solitary, defends their territory regardless of sex, and has no gendered differences at all. Next. • Pyroar - Male lions do have territory disputes as pretty much a guaranteed stage of their life, but lions actually have to fight those of opposite sex pretty often as well. And even if you want to magnify specifically into the lifestyle of male lions starting off their adult life as nomadic while female lions stay in the same prides, then again female Pyroars having the ability make no sense. • Why tf doesn't Tauros have Rivalry. So out of the 18 dex slots that have the ability as it is now, only 1 mon makes complete sense to have it while only 5 make sense ~half of the time. While if you change it to the one I suggested above, then _all_ of them would make sense to have it _and_ it would make their match-ups completely non-gender reliant (i.e., more consistent in competitive). I'm tired of Luxray and Haxorus's _only_ damage boosting abilities being hard countered by Showdown's gender coin flip.

Isn't the scolipede line also a reigonal bug as well?

suggestion: add legendary stats to Shedinja

I'd buff truant by allowing slacking to use moves like rest, slack off, and yawn during traunt turns. It's not great, but at least it gets to do something

My problem with some of the changes is that we are supposed to work around these weak abilties. Normalize - no change from current. All Delcatty needs is Skill Swap or Entrainment. Combine that with Tera Ghost or Trick or Treat to be broken Rivalry - your change ->👍 Emergency Exit - the ability can only trigger after it attacked that turn (it switches after using an attack at 50% or if it was sent to 50% after attacking) -So you don't lose a turn. After it triggers the first time, using First Impression will cause it to switch after, which will prevent it from getting hit. Mycelium Might - half speed 👍 + I'd add for it to ignore type immunities as well Truant - After it uses an attacking move, it can only use healing status moves next turn (like Slack off or Rest. Limitation is so you still can't use protect or drain punch). If you would Struggle, you skip your turn instead. You can use swords dance turn 1 and attack turn 2, but at turn 3 you can only use Slack off. Slow Start - 👍 Stall - 👍 Defeatist - Give -2 stat to Attack and Sp. Attack when it hits 50% (like berserk but way worse). This way, white herb, mist, topsy turvy or clear smog can stop it.

For the love of God don't give slacking anything but truant

Ahh yes Fiery Wrath. Well-known dragon type move.

My patience for the regi video never wanes. It just cultures more and more. Already have 7 regis stats, movesets, and abilities narrowed down.

Choice Band Emergency Exit... Golisopod: Hello I'm new to Ubers...

I just discovered that unlike leech seed, worry seed actually works on other grass types

That rivalry change is one of the worst suggestions I have ever seen. Lets make an ability that is absolutely randomly a choice band and turns to team building gender choosing to avoid a massive but inconsistent boost. Horrible, horrible, horrible

9:41 now watch Smogon banish him to AG

While not a huge buff imo, Pokemon Blazing Emerald had Truant heal like leftovers each turn it would do nothing

A good buff for Emergency exit will be if Golisopod enters with protect in First switch-in in battle

I would’ve just made it so that Regigigas’s stats doubled after 5 turns instead of halved for 5 turns

I think regigigas’ 5 turns would be good if its stats reach a base 320 after it

I had some ideas of reworks of my own. Truant lets Slaking use a move on the turn it loafs around but it can only use non-contact moves like Slack Off or Earthquake. Archeops could swap out Defeatist for Emergency Exit which is reworked to give Priority to Pivot moves at low health and boosts the power of said moves by 50% with Golisopod getting Flip Turn and U-Turn as part of that rework. Thoughts?

I like the channel but uhhhh....giving the buffed version of stall to toxapex and your suggestions for truant and slow start are wayyyyy too broken. Protect existing, among several other things, pretty much removes all the downsides of all of those Edit: also having a 90bp priority u turn on golisopod is also insane even without a choiceband...

Tbh for Slaking I would remove Protect from its move pool similar to old-gen Regigigas. I think Protects every other turn would be very readable, but at the same time, that’s still giving Slaking a little more utility than I think a non-legendary deserves lol

I think emergency exist should still retain the switching out on 50 percent health but the damage stops at 50 percent like a focus sash and switch at the end of the turn

🎉

Rockhead ability Archeops would be a monster

Iron Fist: boost it to x1.5 Long Reach: splash damage like flame burst Liquid Voice: resistance to sound based moves Runaway: cannot be trapped Synchronize: stares volatile status too Magma Armor/Water Veil/Leaf Guard: blocks all status

I love the upgrade to Stall and makes me wonder if it or Mega Sableye would then be sidegrades

I enjoyed the video, but some of these are way too OP. Like Slaking. Even dealing half damage, it’s still dealing respectable damage compared to the nuke last turn. The real issue is using status moves. Imagine this thing throws a nuke on you, then next turn it can: paralyze you, encore you, boost attack and defense with bulk up, rest, sub, curse to boost attack and defense. Then It can nuke you after. GOD NO. Keep truant the way it is please. Regigigas: just no. 3 turns, in which you can protect for 2, and rage powder/ follow me for 1, for 360 base attack and 200 speed. I know it’s a legendary but you’re giving Zacian a run for its money. Regigigas even has spread moves like bulldoze and rock slide, EARTHQUAKE to ignore rage powder/follow me. Also the point on it not being able to raise state: sword of ruin Chien-Pao would make Regigigas do basically 25% extra damage Stall ability sounds super annoying! 50% is far to overturned, as you can combo it with screens.

I think a better way to buff Emergency Exit, is to give you the choice to switch out if Golisopod takes direct damage, and if its HP got to 50% or below.
