TCMets
dang… I cant get to gamestop today and the gengar event is over today 🙁
I will trade a us demo code for a gengar code
if anyone missed the chance for it.
WHY CAN’T SHOWDOWN HAVE GLACIA AS AN AVATAR ;~;
Lorekeeper Zinnia? interesting
probably has something to do with rayquaza
he has a mega salamence so this is gonna be interesting
Mega Gallade is so cool… such a shame it got such a terrible ability 😛
I mean, imagine Speed Boost Gallade. Or Tough Claws Gallade. Or Magic Guard Gallade.
Bro
inner foucs is AMAZING
if you really love it, then you would find a way to utilize its ability
If it was UU (Togekiss, Jirachi) then it will be amazing.
If it is any tier but UU it will suck PERIOD.
Thats your opinion. 2-3 months after ORAS you’ll see
it’ll easily fit in OU and wreck. Il show you in a battle during the winter wreckings(idk) tourney
It has AMAZING stats and a great move pool. It’s ability sucks. It’s not debatable xD
its ability rocks bro. No flitching which helps ALOT
no more fake outs in OU or flitting from kings rock chin chino
A real battler would say any pokemon is amazing :p
ballade doesn’t deserve your love then
It’s even more ridiculous when you realize that both of regular Gallade’s abilities would be so much better.
Yup. Kings Rock Chinchino. So common in OU.
You are right with Fake Out, it’s not a problem for it, but still. It could have gotten something better.
Who needs an ability when you have 165 attack, 110 speed and an amazing move pool
mega metagross doesn’t yet he still got tough claws to wreck harder XD
Metagross needed a good ability because he gets screwed over in the movepool department.
true and his typing resistances gone
Y’see, that’s the logic.
It will be UU, I predict, but it will be such a perfect Jirachi and Togekiss counter that it will be brought up to BL and be useless in OU. If that happens I’m gonna make sure that I get as much Gallade time in UU as I can xD
As a competitive battler, inner focus isn’t that good. Most teams you’ll face don’t use flinch hax. Sure there’s togekiss, but gallade won’t even survive an air slash and its typing is bad against it.
bruh bruh its called proper evs
and protect and speed
Hypothetically you survive a hit. So what? It’s not like you can do anything significant back.
ice punch thunder punch +165 attack+ 252 attack
It’s not even STAB and they can roost up after they kill you. Nice job, now you’re down 5-6.
We are faster m8
so we can kill togekiss then drain punch later for recovery and your down 6-5
You’re not killing a Togekiss, lmao. End of story.
wanna go test this on showdown?
Do it chico do it for me
If I was home, lmao.
then il do it with ooks
Knock yourselves out. I’m just saying, Gallade is and will be a dissapointing mega.
Just like milotic…..oh wait it doesn’t have one
I’d be willing to bet my Milotic can take out a mega Gallade, lmao.
when oras comes out we shall test that 🙂
Ice Punch is a thing
Like I said, it will be a Jirachi counter in UU but will most definitely be banned to BL after a few months.
And because of that, be useless in OU, unlike some BL Pokemon like Volcarona and Weavile.
Err…Gallade will 100% be OU.
Even if it is… still a useless ability 😛
Like I said, it’s a shame. I’m using it anyway though >:D
Because of doz stats
pathetic
how could you not care for the bae and only use it for the stats ;~; heartless monster
Who ya calling a pathetic? You’re looking at the best Elite Four member in Hoenn and the Pokemon world.
For some Pokemon the ability is everything (Azumaril, Talonflame). For others the ability matters very little ( Keldeo, Gallade)….doesn’t stop them from beasting
Yup. Imagine Blaziken without Speed Boost, Greninja without Protean, Talonflame without Gale Wings,
But hey, who said that Justified is a bad ability?
Justified is bad on Keldeo but great on Lucario, Gallade and Terrakion. It does also depend on the Pokemon…and not just the ability.
Actually if you re doing a Natural 8 EV in SpA Togekiss Gallade can live two Air Slashes
You have to be Max SpA Modest To even Kill with Dazzling Gleam
252+ SpA Togekiss Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gallade: 240-284 (86.6 – 102.5%) — 18.8% chance to OHKO
Urrgghh…when you set up a Metagross perfectly to sweep the opponent and then you miss 2 Meteor Mash’s.
*sigh* Please make Meteor Mash and 100 Accuracy, 100 BP move with a 30% chance to raise attack…so Metagross can be OP
ooks wanna test the togekiss thing?
Sure.
I’ll grab a Togekiss. Full SpA/SpE Evs, Air Slash, Life Orb.
But you can just look at the calks I posted
calcs*
we know i just want an excuse to you use bae
We wanna test it out ourselves D:
Suit Yourself
il take my gallade
Best Robot Master in MegaMan.
lobby
If you don’t even outspeed with the investment, why not SpA and HP
cause we are judging off a standard set tho mine is 252 attack 252 speed
He means the Togekiss
yeah i posted the wrong set i meant 252 special attack 252 special defense XD i was working on Gal while typing
It’s still a 2HKO either way for both. It does come down to speed and they tie on the first turn but Gallade outspeeds on the second.
Although I find 1v1s a very stupid way to see which is better. But whatever.
like i said i just wanna use mega gallade
^agreed
they can just use the damage calc, but hey they want test it in person and I can’t stop them
I will do that. I use an akward Togekiss, but I’ll run HP
I don’t know the stats off the top of my head, just do w/e
Is it stupid that I have no clue what w/e is?
W/e = whatever
*Dazzling Gleam
ooks im in the lobby
No you aren’t xD
yes i am 0-00
Okay, I just did /user (I can’t see you xD)
Test #1: Togekiss OHKO
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-177403254
yeah i put in the wrong evs lol
xD Well, we’ll se on Test #2
I would’ve thought mega gallade would’ve been able to tank at least one.
Maybe it’s not as good as I thought it would be
It’s not that good.
Specially defensive Gallade with Wish, Protect, Will-o-wisp and Drain Punch is the way to go
Woh that is pretty good
What a waste of a mega.
chico your a waste of human space XD
Share the replay of Gallade living with ONE HP XDDDDD
i deleted the battle ._,
;(
I guess it’s down to opinion. I feel the stat boosts were well distributed and improved on Gallade greatly.
same it just wrecked togekiss twice
Not sure if you mean the set or the Mega in general. But not all Megas can be Mawiles and Lucarios
It can learn wish? really?
Physically defensive Salamence with Iron Defense, Roost, Return and a filler. No one will expect it lol
It can’t learn Wish XD
move tutors?
Oh wait It CAN
But via event years ago
I think it was a extreme event in japan from 2003 or something like that
Test #2: Gallade outspeeds and hits for about 2/3 damage.
Togekies hits Gallade with Dazzling Gleam and Gallade lives with one HP
OK about those replays. I’ve never seen LO Togekiss…especially not on the ParaFlinch set where you want to Flinch the opponent to death. Dunno how your going to manage that when life Orb will kill you before you manage anything.
i still managed to kill ook’s life orb 252 togekiss twice with my boy
I use Life Orb Togekiss ;~;
I’m saying it doesn’t make sense on the flinch set which is where the whole debate started.
Yea they aren’t using standard sets
Which is cool too
me and ooks were
I use a togekiss with a EXTREMELY trolly item
King’s Rock? I sometimes use that xD.
bright powder
OH MY
Chico, Togekiss is destroyed by Gallade. It’s sad but true.
So is Mega Sharpedo actually good?
IMO Its more of a waste
Just like “Ballade”
It can be if you play it right. But it dies to basically everything.
it looks cool tho il give them that
Yes, but do the protect speed boost thing or you won’t be out-speeding much
and its defense its pretty horrible
It won’t take a close combat from mega ballade quite good :/
Dang. Mega Man and now Mega Ballade.
I didn’t know that pokemon had weaknesses :O
What Dark type can?
Pretty sure that would kill 10 Sharpedo at once.
But it will Outspeed if it has a speed boost and…
252+ Atk Strong Jaw Sharpedo Crunch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gallade: 237-280 (85.2 – 100.7%) — 6.3% chance to OHKO
lmao waht
Wow rekt
I stopped caring for it once I realized it got +30 and +25 boost in Defenses
Should of been at least plus 10 each and it would of gave more stats to the offenses
It should have gone the Mega Beedrill route.
Exactly.
Holy shit this
Agreed
huehue carvhanna is quite the monster in LC tho
I’m sticking with my regular mixed one. It’s better off with a Life Orb imo
With ORAS being a fresh start basically with all of the new megas to choose from, I think I might actually get into competitive battling. It’s always sounded so fun the way you guys talk about it, but I’ve never wanted to try it out because there wasn’t enough of a push for me. Also, still no luck with this secret option. I don’t even know what part I’m supposed to SR at XD.
Go for it! It’s very fun, and I’m sure people here would be happy to help and give tips.
Play NU, the tier of the gods.
Playing the ORAS ladder…The biggest issue I’ve had so far is Mega Sceptile….that speed stat really makes it quite difficult to handle without priority. Plus I don’t have anything to take special hits.
Can You give me a summary of Mega Swampert, Sableye, and Audino
Swampert is underwhelming…but that’s probably only because I have Rotom on my team. Which actually shits on many of the new Megas (namely Swampert, Salamence and Metagross).
Regular Sableye is better. The Mega allows me to set up on it with Sub DD Mega Mence.
Never seen Audino.
I really like it. So many people were hating on it, but now it’s one of the best.
I always had faith in it. I need to find a way to beat it now.
Talon flame. Ice shard mamo or weavile. Scizor
I found that Goodra, Chansey and Mega Venusaur handle it pretty well. There’s also Weavile’s Life Orbed Ice Shard.
I Actually dislike Chansey. Goodra is not very good otherwise and I’m already using a different Mega
And ice types like Mamo and Weavile don’t fit on my team.
My Talonflame would slay it in one hit.
So
megas I thought that would be really amazing but betrayed me terribly
Mega Gallade
Mega Pidgeot (no forgiveness for this one)
Mega Steelix ( no mega can fix that horrid hp)
Megas that are better than I thought
Mega Salamence
Mega Slowbro
Mega Rayquaza (hehueheuhe)
Still though… Mega Steelix is great in sand.
If you run a sand team and lose you deserve it
230 HP…
What?
Steelix has 75 HP
I meant Defense
*DEFENSE LOOOOOL
Gallade is actually very good. And Slowbro is terrible
Slowbro is actually very good. And Gallade is terrible
Oh how the
tables been turned
Ive had more trouble with Regular Slowbro.
Of course I can only base this on what I’ve seen so far
agreed
So swamperts swift swim doesn’t activate till next turn
yup.
k.
thats why I don’t use it
Swamperts bests set is the one where it sets the rain up for itself. It doesn’t work too well on dedicated rain team…in my opinion
Satoshi Tajiri apparently had the idea to input Braille during RS’s development… Very interesting. I hope Regigigas gets his own little chamber or something like the Regis do in Hoenn somewhere in the post-game… That would be fun. New Braille mystery to solve. Lol.
Refresh: I removed a bunch of text.
“Hello 4chan, I work for Game Freak and I helped develop the coding for the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo. I work on a team that is no part in developing the full game, and was working separately to develop the demo, apart from the team that is still developing the full game.
I’ll start with what most of you probably want to hear. The removed Mega Evolutions were Flygon, Zangoose, Seviper, Slaking, Milotic, Butterfree, Ledian, Regigigas, Xatu, Sandslash, Krookodile, Bisharp, Mandibuzz, and Braviary. Game Freak executives were aware of data mining in video games, so I guess they wanted us to hide their biggest surprises.
The Battle Frontier is also returning, and is featuring the Pokémon World Tournament. Also, you have actually battle against Scott, the owner of the Battle Frontier, to advance the story. This is near the end of the game, and his signature Pokémon is a Mega Slowbro.
The last thing we removed was Team Magma/Aqua sidequests at the end of the game, with battles against admins from the two teams and even a battle with Team Flare grunts. We removed this because they use some of the hidden mega evolving Pokémon.
So like I said, Game Freak is trying to keep as much of the full game they are developing as secret as possible. If they added anything new or took anything from what we coded, I am completely unaware. If I hear anything new or something changes, I will come back as soon as possible.”
this is obviously bull shit but I want
Total bullshit. Could smell it from a mile away. Lol.
This is all obviously legit info. That guy is my dad’s co worker at Gamefreak.
My Mom’s pet house fly heard the info while he was buzzing around Game Freak’s headquarters. I can confirm.
Pacific Ocean crossing flies? Dang.
I think he’s lying. Who would have a pet house fly?
I knew something fishy was going on
He almost got swatted away by a fly swatter that Junichi Masuda had. It was a narrow miss. Scary mission. Lol.
“Cut megas: Regigigas.” No Mega Regi? It’s fake.
Parental Bond
What?
Mega Gigas with parental bond
Yeah, because the Regis totally have Genders.
Just pulling your leg NL. Lol.
It’s gotta be a momma or daddy to someone
Ehhhh…How would that work? It makes a new mini regi when it go’s mega?
No
Parental Bond Arceus? It’s a Parent to the triooooo
Just kill them
Multitype or something
Is all types at once.
Only weak to Ghost or something.
No honey, that’s because the trio is better
Lol
Some of this actually seems legit, like the Team Flare battles.
Except XY took place like 6 years after ORAS.
But I want a cameo.
time to see whats up in the ORAS ou
It’s very interesting to note that Team Magma/Aqua Grunts are programmed in during the post-game supposedly with Level 51 Pokemon. And Slippery Sceptile made a good point earlier, this person named “Zinnia” in the coding has Dragon type Pokemon in her party and the Trainer Class title of “Lorekeeper”. She could be protecting Rayquaza and the Sky Pillar from harm or even after Rayquaza, in a similar capacity to Teams Magma and Aqua. What are your guys thoughts?
Lorekeeper makes me think she is protecting ancient folklore tr mythology aka rayquaza’s last guardian
Awesome theory! She could even be part of some ancient tribe that was around when Hoenn was founded and she may be the last of her kind. I don’t think she has anything to do with the Battle Resort like some people originally thought. Same with possibly Felix and the others. They may just be there as aftergame trainers to fight in the Mauville Food Court or something. Because apparently Felix and them lot are in the coding before the Elite Four too.
That would be kinda weird. A really old tribe member? I would expect more of her ancestors passed down the job to here.
same but who knows
I meant to say that. Lol.
Village of dragons confirmed.
Village of dragons confirmed?
