WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! WARNING!

What do you think?! Leave your comments below!
Zeraora has Volt Absorb AND Electrify….
And a move to turn moves like Giga Impact into electric type attacks. I like it.
Tsareena has become the worst gen 7 grass pokemon.. shame.. I kinda liked it
You guys are so full of bullshit
This is from an actual viability standpoint… that and I forgot Shiinotic existed
Shiinotic was still kind of unique cos of strenght sap, but thats gone now too
Oddish my dude
Hoppip and Bellsprout too
Can’t blame you. I thought it was a Gen 4 pokemon since I skipped DPP lol
U see how it feel when someone attack ur favorite character ……..it’s karma bae.
Why what happened?
The other grass types got more, Lurantis has access to super power and knock off
Ok, I guess that’s good. But Lurantis will still be pretty bad.
It’s gonna be a little decent at least considering its got a lot
BUT TSAREENA GOT BDSM AND THATS FUNNY AS F*CK
But viability it’s still worse
This is from a viability standpoint
Design wise its still amazin
So a Physical Contrary set is now viable?
Superpower
Knock Off
Synthesis
Leaf Blade/Solar Blade (if on a Sun team)
Wait I forgot Shiinotic whoops
I freaking love Shiinotic
Like always?
Nah, Lurantis rose above it from SuMo
Hell yeah, pijama pants ftw
Yeee
Designwise I preferred Lurantis so I am quite happy that it is getting the much appreciated attention it deserves. Now I wonder if it is possible to be gifted a Totem Lurantis with its hidden ability or not by Samson Oak? Probably the latter.
Hmmm
Haha yes my man well said :]
star
lol
lmaooo
Don’t use it to attack star dude, you use default OU teams. Rather like a crappy mon than use thoughless garbage
Now now fam let me get one thing clear. I’m not attacking no one. It’s called friendly fire. I am simply playing along to what she is initiating.
You haven’t seen my teams, don’t be ignorant.
I mean to be fair you’ve posted your teams before
Only one fam. Actually two but that was a HP theme team.
My teams aren’t generic at all.
Although I do need to try other tiers out like UU for example.
Say what you will about necrozmas form, but nothing will ever top Giratina origin form. That’s the best form they’ll ever make.
They’ve already topped it…but Ok
With??
Ash Cap Pikachu obviously
Staaaapppp
Giratina is the best legendary/mythical ever not named Darkrai
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1510155535039.jpg
so if Earthen Stops raging we know why
screw you
Love you
you’d be so bored without me
MY BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Does anyone know how this was leaked?
A cia apparently
Guys im too lazy to trawl through the data mine so if someone could post a list of all the cool shiny new moves Pokemon got I would appreciate it. Obviously only the ones usefull from a competitive point of view (and don’t forget the spoiler tag).
I have a list but off my head I can say
Decidueye got leaf storm and shadow sneak by relarner and Sticky webs is an egg move for Araq
Kommo-o got Belly Drum and Close Combat
Incineroar got Knock off and Power Trip
Toxapex got Magic Coat, knock off and Gunk shot
Flygon got Quiver Dance
only relevant ones
You forgot knockoff on tox
And drain punch/ Superpower on Incin
And drain on bewear
oh Toxapex….got pain split
Recover is forever better
true but that thing needs left HP recovery
Kommo-o always had belly drum and i didn’t see Flygon getting Quiver
The only move that Incineroar need is Sucker Punch ……..this’s sucks
Mate knock off is the move it needed
knock off is solid but how dirty dark fighter can’t learn Sucker Punch while Deci does ……this’s blowing my mind
I dunno man
Just take what you got, Incineroar might actually be usable competitively now
Eh, sucker punch isn’t really “dirty” it means just surprise attack in Japanese but the translation team decided not to be accurate for some reason.
I still want Inci to get SP tho
theres a livestream of the game
already? wow someone’s risking a C&D haha
why? lol it’s going to get pulled soon if it hasn’t already
its been up for 3 hours
seriously? i would’ve expected it to be down already, wow
Whoever wants the Cia I’ll hit ya up once everything I have is set up
I have the cia but the converter program i use wont work with it smh
hmm
What’s the cia file name
Pokemon Ultra Moon.cia
A lot of fakes are goin around
I know I have the real deal cause it was from the leaker himself
I got mine off 4chan, could very well be fake i honestly dont know. Part of me wants to wait for launch and i have Odyssey for the time being. But still, its SOOOO TEMPTING
I got the real deal so I can supply ya
I’ll wait for now but i’ll hit you up if still want it
ok
I think I’d be more tempted if I knew how to access .CIAs and put them on my 3ds
You use em on pc
Send me them too
So 2 more things I’d like to know prior to playing the game. First how early can you obtain the Totem sized Pokemon? Are the sticker around from the start or is it later in the game that they suddenly appear all around. Is it possible to play a decent pat of the game with one on your team. Like if I wanted to use a Totem sized Salazzle? Second. I saw someone mention that the PC had some new origination Quality of life features? Was I mistaken in seeing that or is that true?
I’d also like to know if it is possible to get a Totem with a hidden ability. I know it is unlikely but I really want Totem Contrary Lurantis.
Did they give Crabominable some love?
Drain Punch and Iron Head
Oooh iron head
yeah a lotta lotta stuff got it,
Drain punch and super power I believe
why would anyone run Superpower….
Contrary Malamar
without anything with contrary
Choice users tend to do so cause they switch a ton anyways
ehhhhhh it’s just not a good move, so many times Emboar lost because of Superpower not holding up
I wish it got Submission or CC
At least Kommo o gets it
yeah but we can only see how well it holds
who knows maybe i’ll make a whole bunch of Kommo-os and see which i like best
i did want to experiment with Bulk Up because sometimes the defensive tank style holds up better then you’d think but still scared of faeries
Dragon dance is the clear winner of this
we’ll see that’s why i’ll try multiple
Hmmm
Defensive, Speedy, Choice, Z-Move
Drain punch is awesome with it……….but he need some priority move like Mach Punch or Ice Shard
Yas, crabominable love (even though I think it’s move set is pretty set and good.) It doesnt hurt getting Iron head though! Beat those pesky fairies. I love crabominable.
same here, but sadly its stats are very against it
but if i ever wanted to I have a Brave Shiny Crabrawler in my box just waiting to be in a Trick Room team
Most of alolan need to be in Trick Room team
Which fairy would it outspeed in order to beat it though?
I used it in TR and I won a tournament with it, so you gotta outslow it
Yeah in TR its definitely powerful, but where’s my TR extending item GameFreak…damn it..
Just a friendly reminder some people (me) dont want to be spoiled especially with pokemon art, so please if you post some have the spoiler tab, Thank so much! Don’t be afraid to use that spoiler tab with story (totems and E4 and champ) and art! Be considerate!!
Poll wise, Hala has been voted off. Hala gets 9th place which I am pretty happy! Hala is my favorite Fighting type specialist, so I appreciate he made top 10! He’s cool, funny, strong, and a very cool design. Cool points.

Vote 2 least favorites!
Oh my god there’s a nihilist battle style wtf
Whaaat??
Finally one that fits me
So when do y’all think that Showdown will include the changes that USUM will bring?
Prolly not until launch right?
I think they did earlier when sun and moon came out
Hmmmmmm
About one week after the game releases
They can do it we know every stat and ability
i’m not looking forward to that one bit…literally all the things i already struggle against got something new
Bewear got drain punch
Kommo-o got super buffed
kommo-o already got a god-tier z-move and how his movepool is pure destruction. i wasn’t a fan of it at first but this whole ordeal might make me use one lol
that still won’t stop fairies
Run a poison type
Earthen there’s an answer to every obstacle. Just replan your teams,strategy and moves etc
I’m depressed that Naganaidel or however it’s spelled is still outsped by Koko… .and that it needs nasty plot to do amazing… I thought we’d have a super giga tapu killer on our hands
Not to be a negative Nancy, but Im very disappointed in the lack of post game content Went from 7 Battle facilities in E, to 5 in plat/hgss, to 4 in b2w2, to just 2 battle facilites in USUM.
It’s honestly really pathetic. How come they make competitive pokemo more accessible with no way in game to use them. Is that so bad? I just facilities to conquer not basic battle tower.I am VERY disappointed in GF and these games.
What no good post-game? There’s a shocker
I mean no, GF half-assing stuff shouldn’t surprise anyone anymore, but we do get Rainbow Rocket, that’s got to count for something
It’s SO weird that Naganadel has a lower BST than the rest of the UBs. I know it’s special, but you’d think they’d give it the same BST…..
*angry noises* THEY SHOULD HAVE
And by only like 40 points or something. It wasn’t even something weird where it makes sense to have it be lower. They could have easily spread the rest of the points out evenly
EXACTLY
MORE IN SPEED PLEASE
Does that mean it will be bad?
Not necessarily. It’s just not at the same 570 best many of the others are
@BigGuyI:disqus I’m sorry but stats and movepools leaked, assembly is no joke worse than Guzzlord… 211 defense, 101 special defense, a whopping 61 HP and 132 attack
Also it has 13 speed, gets no recovery, and has zero coverage
let me see its moves, now…please
61 health are you kidding me….
It gets for attacking moves
stone edge, and like heavy slam
I’ll post the moveset in like three minutes
Called it.
It’s basically Aggron…
Nope
Aggron is actually somewhat viable
Meh…still same typing and similar stat spread.
I don’t get why they love that stat spread with rock and steel types.
Assembly dude
It’s TERRIBLE
Depression achieved T-T
Wat about Ultra Necrozma ability??
….overgrow……
No thats fake. Ability is Neuroforce which powers up SE moves and negates stat changes
So I can give free drco metro every time ???
No this’s hack …..I think it called something like Neurforce but I don’t know wat this suppose to mean??
A new one.
It’s broken
Tell what is iiiiiiiss
Check a few comments below
Oh, lol it is OP what the hell, like, the 750 BST wasn’t enough
Mega Ray has a friend
But really though this is ridiculous, like, it’s op just for the sake of being op
yeh..
i’ve commented on Earthen
Wat do u mean by broken?
Overpowered
Hmmmmm….maybe this guy needed to be reach during the battle just like perfect Zygarde
i think it negates stat drops and boosts stab moves or something?? idk but it’s really broken edit: unburden covered it, it’s neuroforce
Blacephalon (UB Burst) is basically a mixed Kartana for those interested
I love it ? I like its name
What type is Ultra Necrozma?
U can guess it’s type by looking at it which means Psychic/Dragon
All these dragons yet no fairy/dragon :/
Mega Altaria?
It’s a mega
U can use Mega Altaria
I’ve decided I’m gonna go with US instead of UM as a reversal of last time. I still haven’t figured out what i want for my UM team, but right now my US team is looking like:
Primarina- Dulcina
Lycanroc (Dusk)- Onai
Lurantis (possibly totem sized if obtainable during main story?)- Kukri
Turtonator- Pacaya
Noivern- Tesicus
Alolan Ninetales- Lucy
Poipole/Evo (to replace Noivern after being gifted)- Tetro
Hey earthy https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7452f83407275d9024a5209b66f4ae5d6fced5094a0bcc8fe141fa81e69d834e.png
Autotomize but not Shore Up lmao
why would it have shore up
why not
What an amazing moveset. How do they come up with it…
Autotomize + base 13 speed. Watch out Slowbro…
ugh just run an impish set with air balloon
Stealth Rock
Magnet Rise
Iron Defense
Toxic
Literally terrible
The thing is actually unsalvagable
Magnet Rise can’t help with this speed
i know
This will be the balloon guy
Your team would be better with an empty slot in all honesty…
alright i get it it’s awful quit rubbing it in
I’m not, I was really hoping it would have something to set it apart and make it useable…but GF strikes again.
On the bright side, the other UB looks really fun to use
^^^
This thing actually seems less viable than the castform I used in PU on my shitt team
No Heavy Slam?
It’s garbage tbh
That’s the only move I would 100% have expected. It really does seem to be badly thought out. Autotomize? Who OK’d this?
An idiot clearly, probably the same person who Ok’d the mythical and Incineroar
But I like the mythical…
How much it’s weight ?
820 KG
Any idea how soon we can transfer GSC mons to USUM??
I’d like to get some Johto mons with HA maybe
I’m not really sure why these games are getting hate… Like by post game we may not have gotten a battle facility that’s amazing but like we did get pretty much the most content when you really think about it
post games only exist when there isn’t “enough” story imo The way I see it, if there is a poor post game, then the main game will probably be amazing
I mean I guess that’s true with BW but not so with gen 6
I’ve never played the post game of BW. The main story was totally enough.
There isnt much. Just some towns to explore
The thing is the main story is not replayable without erasing the save file and strating over.
Post Game facilities are there to keep interest in the game after you’ve completed the main story…(and can sometimes take a lot longer than the story to complete)
Post Game stuff is also not obligatory so you have a choice to do it or not, or do part of it came back to it later giving you freedom. The story is almost always linear and in most cases you are locked into doing something befire yoi can continue. This restriction doesn’t exist in a good post-game.
Exactly. I think with first hand experience many will change their thoughts
From what I’m gathering there is much less content than they said there was
Game devs lie. Who would’ve guessed.
-We have a whole post game story
-An entire Legendary capturing thing
-A lot of quests
-A (kinda) new battle facility
-Sidequests
And there’s probably more I’m forgetting. Even though it doesn’t sound like a lot, it honestly is
Ehhh I mean like… I’ll have to play it but I’m less optimistic than I was yesterday
;~;
Yesterday possibilities were open ended, potentially anything could happen. Today you know the limits, your feelings are bound to change accordingly.
I just expected more
That’s why I don’t get my hopes up for things anymore, so I get far less disappointed. Honestly if they don’t give more for the Switch, at least in terms of Battle Facilities that will be the time to be mad, since they’ll have more than enough space to add them.
As much as I like these new mons, outside of the poison babs, I’m never going to get used to these names, They sound weird… even for UB standards
Blacepholon is pretty easy.
That one is so weird…
