Actually, it did. Things change. Just because Metagross is a pseudo and was strong once upon a time, doesn't mean it still is. It was struggling even in B/W, and the new Dark/Ghost weaknesses hurt it even more.
I still makes me laugh how GF only just recently decided to give it Flare Blitz. For 5 gens running Flareon has not had one decent physical STAB to take advantage of that massive attack stat. Come gen 4 GF ignores it yet again. How could it not have been number 1 on the priority list to learn Flare Blitz?Atlease flareon got flare blitz finally
I have seen a few Toxic Orb Flareons kick some ass. He's even better now with access to Superpower in ORAS
Maybe he'd prefer BP points so he could buy TMs in ORAS
Ubers is actually pretty fun.
For Move tutors mostly but yeah. I was just using the ability capsules as a comparison because they're so expensive
Most legendary Pokemon are in the Uber tier (according to Smogon) and it can be pretty fun to play Ubers. Most of the Trio legendaries are spread around lower tiers though
There are a lot of legendaries in ubers and quite a number in OU. Legendaries are fun to use competitively because of the uniqueness they bring to the game. You can also use some legendaries in Battle Maison. Lastly, I think people simply like having Pokemon that have good potential.
Landorus and Thundurus are the only ones that sneaked into Ubers, though, right?
Holy shit, that sounds terrible.
I'm not even sure what to go for with the 3 Regis in terms of nature. I'm thinking of negative speed and just go for Trick Room stuff.
In Rating Battles and official VGC rules (they haven't been revealed for ORAS yet), some legendaries are allowed. Any legendaries not listed here are allowed. Also, the item Soul Dew is banned. Not sure about Lati@site.
Almost convinced? That's too optimistic.
And? All the pokemon I listed have been struggling since they've been introduced. Metagross and Salamance are still very good pokemon and they both didn't beed megas or to go from 600 to 700
I no longer get a trill from just capturing the legendary but rather having one that is decently usable and won't be let down by a subpar nature (especially as it gives you 3 perfect IVs). When it comes to ubers I'm more willing to accept crap as I play Maison and Battle Spot where they can't be used. As it probably stands the natures will be good but not the best (I might have gone fast when offensive made more sense etc).
I just went defensive (I kind of want to bring the legendary hunt to a close so I can do playthrough #2...well more like waiting 2 weeks for crescent island to show up). Probably negative speed natures would have been better here for future trick room opportunities but 50 base speed isn't doing much either way. I suppose if I want to go offensive I need something soften up opponents.
I love legendaries though, they're so bulky and versatile and stuff and can help deal with the best megas (which are better than the best legal legends IMO).
BST means nothing. Scizor is one of the best Pokemon in the game with a BST of 500. Not trying to argue who is more deserving here - I'd love to get Mega Evolutions for those that you mentioned, but there's nothing wrong with Metagross, a Pokemon that definitely needed a boost, being given one.
It wasn't like this before so I have no idea why they changed it
It seems like real estate in the bag menu. There were only space for 5 pockets to allow the format that had in mind. I'd have personally used more rows to allow more pockets as it is annoying to have the repels in an even worse place than the Pokeballs (at lease those are at the bottom).
Yeah, having a disorganized bag drives me insane. I can't STAND having my Pokeballs together with the Repels and Nuggets and Charcoal. I wish they'd also trim down on the TMs; it just feels like a bunch of them aren't necessary.
