I feel like there is a reason that the strategy guide is releasing a week after the game...

Are you serious? That sucks...

 

[theprodigy]

Mega Evolution doesn't take up a turn. You can Mega + Attack in one turn.

So we've heard:

- Stealth Rock nerfed/damaged capped
- Auto Weather limited to 5 turns
- Blizzard, Thunder, Fire Blast, all lose 10BP and go from 120 to 110.
- Frost Breath goes from 40BP to 60BP

Any other important move/metagame changes?

just because you can Mega+attack doesn't mean someone can't switch out on the same turn before that ability comes into effect

 

[Yui]

According to another poster it is out in the 23rd. Ive never heard of a guide releasing a week after a game is released. I think GF wants fans to playthrough first without knowing anything. Perhaps they really did anticipate leaks...

The official guide is listed for the 18th of october. At least in germany.

really gamestop still has the guide listed as the same day as the game releases.

Does it show you go mega right when you click on it, or after both players have chosen their move? If it's the latter, that would open up some awesome tricks you can do with abilities/type changes.

What the hell...one ultra ball is all it took?!?!

Box mascots have a higher catch rate than standard legendaries. This was the case for Dialga, Palkia, Zekrom, and Reshiram. It seems like the tradition continues with Xerneas and (likely) Yveltal.

BTW, that horde stuff sounds good. I'd rather do that than deal with an annoying Dream World.

I heard that Electric Pokemon can't get paralyzed.

Zygarde

It's like an inverse Mara from SMT.

 

[-Horizon-]

and how did I do that?

I haven't played B2 in a long while.

Well Keldeo is an event Pokemon. The person in the Pokemon Center is the guy who delivers event Pokemon to you. You must have somehow gotten it a while back and forgot about it.

Up A+B technique, obviously.

I thought it was hold A?

 

[jelmerjt]

Mewtwooooo

Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres began to roam the kalos starters. When Articuno is near hail will began to fall. When Zapdos is near rain will have in the area and when Moltres is near the sunlight will increased.

Mewtwo is can be catch inside a cave holding the version exclusive Mega Stone. (Num. 151 in Mountain Kalos Dex)

[ffdgh]

Sound good.

Already better than dream world.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Is that true? Dammit! I wanted all of the leaks on Saturday!

Amazon says it's launching on the 12th with the game.

 

[KittenMaster]

- Stealth Rock nerfed/damaged capped

Can I have confirmation of this?

 

[jelmerjt]

Where is the Mewtwo cave grr

 

[Winterfang]

Can I have confirmation of this?

there isn't solid proof yet. Just Sr doing the same damage to both Chatot and Amaura.

Also is it possible that Articuno had Snow Warning and other Birds their respective weather abilities based on the description?

I'm happy for the 5 turn limit, screw Tyranitar.

Oh god, don't give me ideas that should never be thought

I keep popping into this thread to ask random questions because I don't want to see too much so here is another:

what's the post game content like? any at all? Sorry if its been discussed to death.

Got a pass to go to Kiloude City, got a VS Recorder upon arrival.

From the looks of it, there's a bit of post game content, but i'm not 100% that's just what it looks like from this thread lol

 

[ffdgh]

Hidden power has 60 BP now.

 

[PreyingShark]

Can I have confirmation of this?

Aurorus and Chatot both take 25% damage from SR. Both are 2x weakness. That's in line with past games.

I hope this isn't coming from when I said the damage was capped because Aurorus and Chatot both took 25%. That was just me failing at type weaknesses.

No, those appear naturally when you beat the elite four and the game connects to the internet to verify the date

[BlackJace]

Does anyone else love the intros for the important battles? God, it's amazing how much more immersive the scenarios are now, as opposed to the traditional; "slow sliding enemy portrait wants to battle".

 

[jelmerjt]

There is a minor difference in Team Flare’s plot between version but the most brutal one happen’s in
