They're pouring out pokémon with wacky game-twisting abilities. There are so many possibilities I'm actually starting to get hype for SM
WE NEED TO END THE STALL
>>27022197
MAKE THE METAGAME GREAT AGAIN
>They're all shit pokemon with garbage stats and moves
Don't get your hopes up.
>implying Slamanderbandit won't be used on stall teams
>>27022221
>the games are out and we know the stats and movepool of everypokemon
So far the abilities are promising. Don't be that cynical, anon.
>>27022176
They should just ban them
>>27022176
Doesn't salamander just strengthen Stall?
You can't just bring in your poison immunity anymore unless it's Gliscor
>>27022214
We will
>>27022294
Or a poison type/other status immune pokemon. Being able to poison steel is powerful but it's far from OP
>>27022339
He can poison poison types.
>>27022221
>talonflame will be trash even with gale wings!
>serperior is fucking useless, not even contrary can save it!
>mega-slowbro will be useless, why bother with a worse ability?
>lol pebblezard xd no point in using the mega when it loses 50% on switch-in!
>>27022294
It won't be OP but it's probably going to make people use Skarmory and other Steel mons less if it has okay stats at the very least
>>27022176
Already off to a great start. I can't wait to play the 7th gen meta. I hope they keep adding more abilities that give more team diversity.
>auto trick room and magic room
>auto terrain for all terrain moves
>more terrain abilities like grass pelt
>a way to cause inverse rules. Either an ability or move so that ice/grass/bug become powerful options to build around.
>new immunity abilities like water absorb,flash fire,sap sipper, levitate, etc...
>A special version of intimidate
>>27022576
>auto trick room
we need a mega reuniclus for that
THE META IS ABSOLUTELY AND FUNDEMENTALLY DESTROYED
YOU CAN / N O T / JUST BREAK THE META LIKE THIS.
YOU CAN SHIT ON SMOGON ALL YOU LIKE, BUT THEY ACTUALLY CARE ENOUGH, AND MAKE TIERS AND RULES TO MAKE ALL THE POKEMON USABLE
GAME FREAK JUST TOOK A HUGE STEAMING DUMP ON COMPETATIVE POKEMON AND YOURE ALL EATING UP YOU UTTER UTTER TROGLODYTES
YOU CANT JUST INTRODUCE SOME UGLY FUCKING FISH TO STOP PRIORITY, THE META USES PRIORITY BECAUSE WE LIKE IT LIKE THAT OK???
FUCK YOUMASUDA
>>27022637
(You)
>>27022576
having an easy way to use inverse instantly balances the types
: - )
>>27022637
If you can't use your brain enough to figure out new strategies based on a changing meta instead of relying on other people's strategies and crying when they don't work, then stop playing because clearly this game is not for you.
>>27022735
>you
>>27022637
Anti gen 6 fags in a nutshell
>>27022637
>Smogon bans anything that incites change to the meta
>Anything that prevents stalling is banned
>"B-BUT THEY ACTUALLY CARE"
>>27022576
>A special version of intimidate
still don't see why they don't do this. why?
>>27022986
because physical has much more pokemon with a high attack stat and more high powered moves
>>27022363
don't forget
>dropping prankster for magic bounce what a shitmon!
>>27022294
It could go either way. I hope it is a Special glass cannon.
>>27022349
She meant mons with Magic Guard/Guts/Immunity/Poison Heal/Toxic Boost, ones that wouldn't care about being poisoned
>>27022637
>smogon
>>27023132
This. I'm effortlessly loling at how scrambled
everything is going to be for a while.
>>27022176
These abilities have potential, but what I'm really most excited about thus far is that GF is so focused on new abilities. Most of Gen 6's new abilities were exclusively hidden abilities or given just to Megas.
>>27022176
I'm hyped!
We just need
Plasmaburn: burns fire pokemon
Conformist: Moves against this pokemon aren't modified by opponents ability or item (e.g. Aerilate Double Edge is a 120 Normal-type attack)
Parasite: Cuts opponents healing (moves Leftovers,...) in half, you get 50%
Assessment: Opponent loses STAB against this pokemon
>No more cancer, all playstyles have solid countermeasures
>>27022769
LMAO that fish
>>27022788
reminder that they actually considered outright banning confusion last month
And none of these great abilities will matter if they get shit stats
>>27022788
>>Anything that prevents stalling is banned
Stop this meme.
They banned Shadowtag Gothitelle, and Hoopa-U was banned for being too strong against most playstyles, not just stall.
>>27023109
>she
>>27023907
>They banned Shadowtag Gothitelle
Shadowtag destroyed stall by trapping anything weak to one of its moves and then tricking away a scarf to cripple one last thing.
The only teams Hoopa-U absolutely tore apart were stall teams seeing as they were to slow to hit it and too weak to one shot it.
Tell us again how smogon doesn't like its precious stall.
power creep at it's finest.
>>27023956
Goth was used on a lot fo stall teams, and Hoopa U was strong as fuck against Balance.
I hate stall too, and while Smogon tries to keep all playstyles viable, it doesn't have a bias for stall.
>>27022176
>>smugamander shits on fairies and breaks stall play
the reptile is going to be a glass canon
>>27023823
Source? That sounds hilariously smogon
>they banned attract
Gets me every time
>>27024019
I play stall and each ban cycle has made the team i've used for who knows how long now even stronger.
If smogon doesn't favor stall then its just one huge coincidence.
>>27022576
>Mega Porygon-Z
>Ability: Glitch
>On switch-in / Mega Evolving and for 5 turns afterwards, Inverse Battle rules are in effect.
POST YFW MEGAS ARE REMOVED FROM THE GAME
>>27022176
ME WANT IT NOW PLEASE
>>27022735
>>27022769
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENaiQcwaPXM
>>27022619
Is it bad I like the design for this?
>>27024129
>Mega Porygon-Z
I don't care what it does, I just want it. Give it to me now.
Let's just hope they fix VGC, what if battery bug is on every team?
>>27024129
I remember an entire thread on this, it ended with M.PorygonZ being fucking unstoppable. Really wish it would happen but
>NEVER EVER
>>27022176
They're all going to have completely unviable stats because first reveals are always earlygame shitmons.
>>27024331
>>27024129
>making all those defensive ice pokemon viable
Not gonna happen.
>>27023907
The fuck? They banned gothitelle? When?
>>27022221
the only really shit pokemon is delcatty and NFE mons
you can regigigo fuck urself
if salandit gets toxic spikes, does that count? Or can it only directly poison people?
>>27027615
We literally don't know
>>27027615
Im willing to bet it has a fire type move that can inflict poison.
>>27026086
>NFEs
>Shit
>>27026063
Just the shadow tag ability to ubers. Gothitelle is still able to be used. Perish trap was being used for this, not that it's impossible to recreate in lower tiers.
>Lapras/Politoed + Dugtrio
Albeit much more situation specific.
>>27025746
Hey anon I don't know if anyone told you but. We aren't in the first reveals anymore.
Hell they literally showed Salandit in an area with magma in the background. Like nowhere on the first island.
>>27022637
>THE META USES PRIORITY BECAUSE WE LIKE IT LIKE THAT OK
>BECAUSE WE LIKE THAT
>LIKE THAT
>>27023453
Literally all of these would be great abilities.
>>27022294what if it'll be able apply poison damage through poison heal
