SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask

[Mad Ram]

Do we have any source other than Centro? I mean if some of the stats are true, they are absolutely hilarious, but I'd like to know where he's getting this from to see if it's true.

now with ursaluna

Neat, the first non-Mega specially-oriented Ground with >125 SpA.
Without Sandy Shocks (and Lando-I) we wouldn't even have a special Ground with >110 SpA.

Nuts we went like 25 years without ever getting one.

 

[WinterArcanine]

bro why did they make Fezandipiti shit it looks so prettyy

Literally the only one of that trio that has a good design and they made it shit wtf

 

[Theorymon]

Id be wary of trusting Centro since they're not a leaker or dataminer. Anywhere reputable can confirm?

At the very least it directly matches this screenshot of my hyper trained Dipplin I just took!

Why give Ursaluna-BM 2 extra speed
what are you accomplishing with this

88/82/125 Defenses with Poison/Fairy actually has a lot of potential depending on its movepool; but I'm hesitant to trust the stats until we get some more concrete confirmation

 

[Highv0ltag3]

People roasting Fezandipiti for no reason, its supposedly fairy poison which is bad offensively, so its better for it to have defensive stats. Also since its a bird it probably gets roost, maybe even defog.

 

[StompyStomps]

How so?

A plus 1 lash out after intimidate does stupid high damage to a quad resist, iron valiant

 

[ant4456]

Just finished mt first play session. Felt really fun, I like the setting. I feel the level scaling is weird though.

i think if it gets roost and toxic/defog it'll be good
until then, no way.

 

[Dhrabb]

Tyranitar getting Knock off is insane

Believe it or not, at least in Battle Stadium Singles, Jolly Ursaluna is actually a thing, so outspeeding base Ursaluna does have some value! Plus max Speed Kingambit has been a thing before there too!

Now the Special bulk drop though... now that has me weary!

Weird in what sense?

Ah, for VGC.

Competitive Empoleon confirmed!

Ah, secret minmaxing on the minmax bear...I should have known

 

[I love poke waifus]

Empoleon with roost and competitive looks nice

 

[Roland le preaux]

Because its typing is broken, it will be good even with those stats... looks like an excellent support imo

Competitive Empoleon confirmed!

Does Empoleon get CM?

 

[Mad Ram]

to make matters worse, they gave weavile shitty icicle spear and not triple axel

Icicle Spear is a 100-125 BP move with 100% accuracy with dice. Triple Axel has an average BP in the 90's with about a 70% chance to hit 120 BP. Icicle Spear is fine. It just trades a small bit of power some of the time for consistency.

 

[ant4456]

Weird in what sense?

I did as Centro suggested and caught a new wild Pokemon (Morpeko) and Poltchageist to start chilling and make a new party.

I did a few battles and it went well and then I fought a random Level 75 guy with

-Light Clay Grimmsnarl dual stab
-Gardevoir (crit didn't see the set)
-Quiver Dance Sticky Web Ribombee
-CM Clefable with Flamethrower

I lost because I didn't have my main game party but it felt like those were adequate elsewhere. Not even sure if a level scaling issue per se or just what is intended.

I feel like if the intention is to have trainers like that at random points of the world, other trainers in general should be more challenging.

 

[StompyStomps]

Sus rumors of victory dance poliwrath and tidy up ambipom

Give us Tidy Up Cincinno in DLC 2, but Tidy Up Ambipom? Fuck this shit im out

 

[pika pal]

Now looking into junk/obscure mon buffs like Arbok and Dusknoir

Icicle Spear is a 100-125 BP move with 100% accuracy with dice. Triple Axel has an average BP in the 90's with about a 70% chance to hit 120 BP. Icicle Spear is fine. It just trades a small bit of power some of the time for consistency.

it doesnt want to run dice though. band and boots are both super valuable for weavile. the opportunity cost is very high for only a relatively low increase in power as compared to smth like crash or spinner

 

[StarFalcon555]

Actually, I have a question... if Shiftry got Wind Rider, does this mean Ludicolo also got a new Ability?
