Anons who have a shitmon for a bro, what buffs would you give them to make them more viable?
Pic related, I would give him the following:
>base 100 HP
>Recover/Slack Off
>Hidden Ability: either Infiltrator or Magic Bounce
>Normal mode: Don't deliberately make them broken
>Hard mode: No giving mega-evolutions
>Dante Must Die mode: Don't change anything but the stat distribution, in a balanced way
>PU
Only mega will save it.
>>26626660
>A pokemon who's main issue is 45 base HP
>getting a Mega will save it guys!!! :^)
>>26626684
You basically proved that you've never actually used it.
>>26626684
He was talking about meganium, not dusknoir.
>>26626644
All three of those buffs is over kill but any one of them would probably be enough to make him decent.
Also, damn, I cant believe a stage 3 pokemon only has 45 base hp.
>>26626644
>Dante Must Die mode:
HP: 60
Atk: 50
Def: 60
Sp.Atk: 130
Sp.Def: 100
Spe: 127
Now it outspeeds most of the metagame, counting weavile, and allows it to launch powerful sun boosted fire blasts that decimate most switch-ins.
Defenses are lowered on par with gengar, making it easy to pursuit trap with T-Tar (Who also gets rid of sun and resists STAB) or simply to revenge kill it with most scarfers.
The option to run nasty plot makes it an scary sweeper that can demolish unprepared teams:
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Ninetales Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Latios in Sun: 324-381 (108.3 - 127.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Ninetales Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar in Sand: 341-403 (100 - 118.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Ninetales Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 188+ SpD Heatran: 499-588 (129.2 - 152.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
However, it's pitiful defenses gives it a hard time setting up.
>Fix'd.
>>26626644
why doesn't he get Phantom Force?
>>26626828But Anon, I love him.
>>26626835
Excellent.
>>26626846
Because Gamefreak hates physical attacking Ghost-types.
>>26626835
>Hidden power ground
Wait, I'm confused. Why not steel/ice? Fire hits any electric types that might be a threat to you anyway, and dragons/fairies are always a bitch to deal with for ninetales I've found.
>Ninjask
Well, it honestly only needs a small boost to attack and its defences. Honestly that's the work of a mega.
>>26626835
>in a balanced way
>all sp. and spe
OK
>>26626876
>Dragons die to Fire blast believe it or not
>Fairy mons die to Fire blast or Solar Beam
It's similar to Mega Char-Y, it's attacks are so powerful that most resists don't apreciate coming in a sun boosted fire blast.
Give it a nasty plot boost and:
>+2 252 SpA Life Orb Ninetales Fire Blast vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Sun: 359-422 (55.9 - 65.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
>+2 252 SpA Life Orb Ninetales Fire Blast vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp in Sun: 402-473 (96.4 - 113.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
(Mega Houndoom can do this too, but uses up a mega slot.)
At this point, Heatran is the only thing that can wall it most of the time, so HP ground is used to go around that.
We are of course, talking about fairy tale land Ninetales. If we are talking about the barely usable bro that gamefreak gave us, you are welcomed to put HP ice on it.
>>26626835
make speed 110 and add to hp , too op with its movepool and spatck
I'm not sure what can be done to fix pic related.
>>26627062
HP: 120
Atk:40
Def: 95
Sp.Atk:85
Sp.Def:69
Spe: 31
This stat distribution basically gives you something that can come in on some defoggers like the Lati twins and uninvested Zapdos and boost out of it with competitive while surviving T-bolt or psyshock if worst comes to worst.
31 Speed to outspeed slowbro and nothing else because with shit speed it's not outspeeding anything else.
It's like a worst Clef. You can move around the HP stat a bit more, but that's cheating at this point.
What can be done to help my nigga Farfetch'd?
>>26626876
>>26626876
>read hidden power ground and couldn't be bothered to finish reading the sentence to see the target is heatran
how fucking worthless are you?
>>26626644
>having Dusknoir as your bro
>giving him Recover
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAI got tired of being cucked by Dusclops so I gave up on him. As an ex-Dusknoir fan I suggested his Mega be Ghost/Fighting and have Iron Fist as his ability plus a boost to Attack. But what do I know, he's your problem now.
>>26626644
>Galceon
I'd just swap its Defense and Speed. There, done, its no longer shit.
>>26626644
I'd give my bro Farfetch'd an evo. Maybe two.
Most obvious is a samurai Fighting/Flying one.
HP:75
Attack:110
Defense:75
Sp.Atk:60
Sp.Def:75
Speed:115
Ability: Super Luck
Can still use Stick
Powerful, fast, wallbreaking machine.
Can take a weak hit, too.
>Dante must die mode
>take 30 from SpA
>add 20 to HP
>add 10 to Def
>>26627246
>>26628883
How do you feel about this?
>>26626910
cute
Anyone want to try fixing Spinda or Claydol?
>>26629164
HP:100
Attack:60
Defense:125
Sp.Atk:60
Sp.Def:130
Speed:35
Total:510
Maybe a different ability? More moves? Give it recovery if it doesn't have any. Some more status. Overall, I really don't know how to fix it. This is Claydol, by the way.
How would you make him?
>>26629164
I forgot the name of the ability of Mega Spinda that I came up with but I promise it was really clever
Basically all attacks that land cause confusion like Dynamic Punch
Then it gets banned
>>26629201
Thanks, I honestly have no idea to fix claydol since it is weak to pretty much all common moves.
>>26629244
Just a bit of rebalancing.
Levitate really doesn't let it have much else.
I like it, but don't know what moves it's missing.
>>26626644
Its whole gimmick is intended to be Pain Split, idiots, which fails miserably with a high HP stat.
The fact that it doesn't work so well is another thing, but increasing its HP is killing its intended purpose.
>>26629219
not golduck, but psyduck could benefit from a new ability called "migraine" that works like huge power but for spa as well as a held itemlike the light ball for pikachu.
>fuckmodes
i'd like a megagolduck that takes it back to it's psyduck roots because i feel like it loses the power that psyduck has (according to pokedex and shit)
hp 120
atk 72
def 90
spa 115
spd 100
spe 75
with that ability for a mega. the transformation wouldn't be anything fancy either, just golduck holding it's head because it is getting headaches again when the megastone reawakens it's "mysterious power"
Hard mode Beartic:
Total stats 485 -> 535
HP: 95 -> 115
Atk: 110 -> 100
Def: 80 -> 120
Sp.Atk: 75 -> 50
Sp.Def: 80 -> 110
Speed: 50 -> 50
Maybe?
>>26629854
>slow bulky ice type
You made its bulk pretty good, but its type is too horrible to make it beyond RU at best.
>>26628840
>a mon whose two biggest problems are terrible HP and lack of reliable recovery to back up a great defensive/support typing and great defenses
>increasing HP and giving it Recover/Slack Off won't help it
r u ok
rename ditto "devil goo" and make every stat 666
>>26628854
But glaceon's entire shtick is being tanky as fuck in the Hail
