>can't even use flare blitz because it's a water type
This really seems like an intentional hard counter
also
>immune to sucker punch
Rest in misery, Talonflame
Oh no he will have to switch out whenever that shit fishmon is on the field. Said fishmon could have a base speed lower than Talonflame's too!
Unless the fish is good in doubles it doesn't affect Talonflame in any way.
>>26910889
>Affect
Kill yourself
>>26910050
I feel like the fish itself won't do much.
But I highly doubt it'll be a unique ability.
>>26910889
t. Alonflame
>>26910901
Seek mental help.
>talonfags already on suicide watch
I've been waiting for this moment.
>>26910889
Sneaky pebbles?
>>26910918
>scrubs think they'll be safe from other threats
Can't wait for them to introduce something else that'll have you bitches crying.
>>26910917
Go back and learn 2nd grad spelling, you stupid faggot
>>26910933
I don't think so. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the downfall of this shitmon.
>>26910936
Really, seek mental help, your obsession with "baiting" isn't healthy.
>>26910952
It won't make you any better of a player, faggot.
Just got here. Someone explain what's going on.
>>26911006
Some guy leaked a shitton of pokemon.
One of them apparently has an ability that blocks priority moves.
>>26911006
leaked pokemon has an ability that makes it immune to priority attacks
>>26910050
I am mad, I was expecting Iwanko to be the new talon counter.
I don't know how to feel about the fish yet.
>>26911006

New Water-type Pokemon has an Ability that gives it immunity to priority moves. Pretty much a hard counter to Talonflame.
>prankster
lol thanks for the free switch in.
>>26910050
Well wouldnt the fish's ability be ignored when facing Talonflame, since brave bird is not a priority move? Since it only goes first because of Talon's ability
>>26911353
You don't know if Gale Wings will negate Dazzling's effect, anon. But the possibility is there.
>Talonflame used U-Turn!
>Talonflame used Natural Gift!
>Talonflame used Will-O-Wisp!
Big deal. We don't even know if the fish will be good enough to check any of dozens of other Pokemon used alongside Talonflame. For all we know it could be Seaking level of shitmon.
>>26910050
hope that fish enjoys getting brave bird'd because I doubt it's faster than Talonflame
>>26911633
Doesn't matter, if it negates ANY kind of priority, then Talonflame will be doomed unless it has Flame Body lel
>>26910901
>he doesn't know when to use "affect" or "effect"
Illiterate scum.
>>26910915
Kek
>>26911655
oh right I forgot it completely nullifies the move instead of just removing the priority
disregard my post I'm retarded
>>26911655
>U-turn
>>26911655
New fishe is clearly a special attacker.
Talonflame is fucked.
>>26911839
Good luck w/ your nonstabbed, base 81 attack-powered attack
I bet 100 shekels that Talonflame becomes UU this gen.
>>26912010
Unless fish has reliable recovery and good enough bulk, it's still a valid problem for it.
>>26910050
That fish might have a good ability but mind you so does Basculin.
>>26911839
>bravest bird suddenly fleeing for its life
OH THE IRONY
Rest in peace in peace ?
But... muh U-Turn muddafucka

It was fun while it lasted
You're in a better place now
>>26911698
>tfw I don't
>tfw I've read up about it multiple times and still can't grasp when to use each of them.
>>26914888
Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun.
>>26914888
your subject affects its target/surroundings (the subject does the acttion; Act = Affect)
vs
your subject suffers from the effects
>>26910889
The thing that's hilarious is that since brave bird is priority, it literally can't use it even if its faster. the ability ruins it in this scenario
but the fish doesn't look like it will have the best stats, so yeah you'll probably switch out and be fine.
>>26910050
>Talonflame used Natural Gift Grass!
:^)
>new fishmon is a trigger fish
>is already triggering muh priority fags
Beautiful.
>>26914928
So
The heat from the sun is affecting everyone in the country
and
I'm severely effected by this heat
That right?
Learning basic Englsih with /vp/.
>>26915014
effect = noun
affect = verb
>>26911602
Talonflame can also use taunt.
The fish will see its best use in completely and utterly shutting down pranksters and potentially scarf killing things that rely on some sort of priority to kill scarves otherwise.
>>26915014
>I'm severely effected by this heat
you're severely affected by the heat.
you're severely suffering from the effect of the sun
>>26915014
No, your second example would be affected.
>Nausea is an effect of heat stroke.
Would be a better example. Affect is a verb, an action if you will. It's something you do or that is done to an object. Effect is a noun. It's a thing, it is the object or subject.
>>26915049
>Talonflame can also use taunt.
Bruxish uses Scald
>>26915032
>>26915056
>>26915058
Alright I got it now.
Thanks for educating me, guys.
>>26914970
>>26915078
now use it in an example
>>26915110
The affects of global warming are clearly visible
John succumbed to the effect of his illness
>>26915194
NO ANON
they should both be effect. "the effects of global warming," because effect here is a thing, not an action
only use affect as an action word. "global warming affects the world"
>>26915256
This is fucking impossible.I can't stop laughing at how fucking retarded I am though.
Everyone wants Bruxish to be a wall but I'm just over here hoping it can be the unkillable set up sweeper with either agility or a double dance set if need be.
>>26915282
My illness affected my school performance.
Poor grades are an effect of illness.
He tried to help defuse his friend's anger to no effect.
He could not affect his friend's temperament.
I am affected by your aggression.
Your aggression affects me.
Your aggression has a significant effect on me.
The effect of your aggression on me is significant. (Effect is being talked about as an object/noun/subject)
>>26910050
What's the ability?
>tfw talonflamefag
>mfw the stupid fish
Honestly hated the fish design the moment i see it.
I just hope it will be a shitmon or because Brave bird isn't priority unless gale wings, it won't work on my bro.
Stop delusion yourself about "RIP", it's probably still going to be OU unless fish is top tier, which i hope not because it's ugly as sin.
>>26915335
See >>26915282 ? Something affecting something else is almost like saying something influenced something else.
>why don't I just use influenced then?
Just shut the fuck up and learn the difference.
>>26910901
This is bait or you're fucking retarded and need to repeat the 9th grade.
>U-Turn
Y'all are fucking retarded. Fish is going to be absolute shit tier. Slow speed, above average special attack and basic or maybe decent defense.
>>26915596
The mere fact that the "bravest bird" now runs away like a pussy with u-turn is all i need
>>26915596
>Slow speed, above average special attack and basic or maybe decent defense
source?
>>26915654
>source?
his buttblasted talonflame ass
>>26910889
Why does it matter if it's base speed is lower than talonflame's? Are you retarded?
>>26910901
Go back to elementary school anon.
>finally give shitters an easy mode Talonflame check (it isn't a counter, dumbfucks)
Maybe they'll finally learn how to play around him instead of bitching constantly
>>26915596
Or it will be the new Alomo. One or the other...
>>26915708
>talonflamefag still thinks he's morally superior with "skillful" gale wings
>>26915751
>drooling retard who doesn't even play competitively yet still complains about the metagame trying to act smug
>>26915788
>buzzwords
welp. Let me U-turn away now. i heard it's the new meta, along with natural gift
>>26910933
>>26910981
You come across like an try-hard cunt.
It's a free U-turn though.
>it has to run away from Tumblr Fish
So? Switching is part of competitive play. You don't keep in a Dragonite on a Weavile or a Tyranitar on a Keldeo.
Also >Bug attacks<Psychic types
It's a shitty check, nothing more.
I hope its not limited to this fish, its fucking hideous. Please let other things have it.
Thank fuck we have a hard counter to Talonflame and the Prankster faggots
>>26915918
You don't get to just use new words you've learned just because someone calls you out on being fucking stupid.
>implying u-turn isn't common as fuck
>trying to save face by resorting to blantant shitposting
I'm disgusted I have to share a species with you
