yeah, if you catch anything that's like 4x30 just give me that shit free, worthless tbh

If you could easily catch it, why would it be expensive?

But how does that compromise any gameplay? It's not like running into Tentacools is a significant part of the game that players need to experience, hence repels, nor is the distance from a pokemon center even related to the value of getting to that place. Worst case, just make Secret Power unobtainable until after the storyline or something.

Pretty simple: it'd be nice to be able to hang out in someone's secret base and get pokes in and out of PC. Imo should be free but whatever devs just make us grind 100k BP it's fine

glad to see the title change. Let's get rid of all the cancer altogether

IGN: PandaJJ Timezone: GMT+9 (Japan, yay) Tiers: Doubles, VGC Note: I will be available from 4th of January, which as far as I can tell is the 6th week of battles. Hence, I won't be able to play in the 5th week.

This game has become a grinding machine with no reward at all. Trade hub does not fix these problems at all.

Numbers, man. 252 Atk Choice Band Diglett Aerial Ace vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Heracross: 156-184 (100 - 117.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 Atk Choice Band Diglett Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 120-144 (64.1 - 77%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Choice Band Diglett Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Metagross: 134-158 (71.6 - 84.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO +1 252+ Atk Diglett Reversal (200 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ursaring: 278-328 (141.1 - 166.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO Diglett is trapping these best wallcorebreakers uncompetitively almost the same way (just not a guaranteed OHKO on Metagross). Trapinch being slower and not living Choice Band makes that not actually work reliably but I think tiering wise we address the issue much better if we ban Arena Trap than we would ban Dugtrio and Diglett.

Lyle~ Home of that Special K

I honestly think that feature would be a good idea and I don't agree with any of these cons about the idea because I feel they are not substantial enough for anyone to care about them. Firstly, sure you can use it an a portable Pokemon Centre. Is this really a big issue though? What are you really gaining from it? You can heal your Pokemon and get more PP, which in turn could give you more money per hour when Paydaying Well, is this really a cause for concern? Paydaying is already not a good method to make money, islands are much better, after that I would rather farm items and sell those to gain money. If this is what it takes to buff(lol) Payday, then go for it. It's really not a big deal though. You can heal Pokemon when far away EV training Again, not really a big deal. It's going to save you 10-20 seconds at most every 25mins or so. You can make the storyline easier to complete Firstly, the storyline is easy to complete without the use of any items, unless you're a noob in which case you wouldn't even think outside the box to do this little idea. Even if you did, it's still not substantial enough to worry about. Players who do think outside the box and do this little trick should be rewarded. -What is the problem with making something in your secret base ACTUALLY USEFUL? -I bet you majority of the players wouldn't even think about using their secret base to gain a small advantage like this.

Why isn't Santa listed under the clauses?

because in a shit game full of shit, channel shit still manages to be the shittest thing in the entire shitty game by a long, incredibly shitty, stretch.

That hurt

First I just wanna thank KaynineXL for making this guide. I shouldn't have started something I knew I couldn't finish, so I'm happy to see somebody made it happen. Under the section Four Island, there is only included one place (Icefall Cave) - is this meant to mean that pickup does not work in any other place on the island? I tried just a short time in the pool with marill etc (25 encounters,) but didn't pick up any items. Since you have included other places in your guide that does not contain any items, I just wanted a clarification regarding this area. Also, can anybody else confirm that they didn't find any items there?

that 1$ box of cereal that taste bad?

Alright again this is a joke, I was hunting for yellow/green shards and I spent 120 pp from thief 11 Relicanths -> 1 Green Shard 109 Chinchou/Lanturn -> 2 Yellow Shards, 13 DEEPSEASCALES! 13!!!!!!!!! what the fuck? I currently have 237 deepseascales is this alright? IT'S NOT!

Can only see the meta getting worse, walls can only wall easier and swellow is pretty impossible to switch in with an offensive threat. But you guys can address that later I suppose.

IGN: PinkWings Timezone: EST Tiers: Doubles

SURE IT'S FUN GRINDING FOR GREEN SHARDS RITE GUYZ!?!? This is total bullshit, waisting more than 2 hours, and only got enough to get 1 move i need, meanwhile i could have wasted time grinding money to buy stuff. GRINDING FOR ITEMS IS NOT WORTH IT, FIX THIS BULLSHIT FAST

Showdown suggestion part 542. Basically when you put a mouse over a Pokemon not only should it say "Alive" but also saying how much HP % does the Pokemon has left would be highly appreciated. Over the course of the match you can easily forgot this and it kinda sheers the focus away from the correct plays for memorizing how much HP did the Pokemon have left and that is quite unneeded. In addition the health bar of the battle to me sometimes seems a bit inaccurate so with this you can clearly know how much damage you're doing to opponent and knowing how much HP% does your opponent have left for ultimate competitive experience.

Scout's Purrfect Match Explanation Scout the shiny Skitty likes to think of herself as a bit of a cupid in PokeMMO, helping a lot of lonesome Pokemon find true love. This time, however, she is looking for some help with her latest matchmaking project. She wants to find her friend Shiny Hoppip a match made in heaven, the trouble is that Shiny Hoppip is very picky when it comes to potential suitors. Scout would like your help finding a Male Hoppip with the highest IV's possible. If you are lucky you could find that Shiny Hoppip will come and take up residence with you! Rules: All entries will have the IVs added together and the one highest overall total will be declared the winner. All entries MUST be male or the entry will not count. All entries must be submitted to participating staff members by linking them in whispers. After the hour is over, players have 10 minutes to submit their entries. The entry that you submit MUST be your OT and have been caught in the 1 hour period designated. Only one entry per player, once you have submitted an entry you are not allowed to change it, so think carefully before deciding. In the case of a draw, the winner will be decided by who has the earliest catch time. Date: Friday 18th December Time: Catching time starts at 3pm EST | 8pm GMT until 4pm EST | 9pm GMT - any Hoppip caught outside of this time will not be valid. Location: The results will be announced at the Island 5 Pokemon Centre on Channel 7 at 4.30pm EST | 9.30pm GMT. 1st Place Prize: Shiny GIFT Hoppip with Encore Your choice of nature with IVs HP 25 | ATK 25 | DEF 25 | SPEED 31 | SP.ATK 25 | SP.DEF 25 - Untradeable AND 1,000,000 Pokeyen OR 1000 Reward Points 2nd Place Prize: Runner Up's choice of 500,000 Pokeyen OR 500 Reward Points Hosts: Noad and her shiny Skitty Scout Participating Staff: Noad RacheLucario Munya

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-305659949 had to give this megazard + sand team a go, pretty deadly stuff even with a couple of big misplays

Cool poster

I guess if you want to rip off some new players, go catch some charmanders on Mt. Ember or something

I got 20k BP, B/o 450k

Could be true, we know it's either 15% or 19% from the tooltip, you would think its flat 15%, but sometimes tooltips lie ;)

I could've sworn this was suggested before and this same debate was held. In any case this would be a really neat feature if implemented, and if staff are so worried about exploits, couldn't you just have it available at the battle frontier so it's only obtainable post game. If your concerned about people grinding pokemon in a faraway place during post game, why? It's not like it's ruining gameplay or causing an unfair advantage. If anything it's making an obnoxious grind for pokemon slightly better by having a closer healing spot.

No need to get sassy - this is a discussion, not an argument. If you plan to be hunting in a certain area for a long time, having a base nearby will be easily worth the moving cost when you can use it to prevent having to leave or buy items. If you plan to shiny hunt on Route 115, you'd almost be silly not to build your base nearby. The Pokemon on Route 115 range from lv17-20. Let's say 18 on average. Pay Day has up to 32 PP. Let's be generous and say that your entire party consists of PP Maxed Pay Dayers. You make around 35k with their combined PP if you're using it on every Pokemon. This is 192 encounters. After you go into your base to heal, you do this again. Let's assume that you encounter a shiny on your 10,000th battle. It may take more, it may take less. You've had to heal 52 times to do this (and have made 1.8m from Pay Day). If it takes a minute more to heal at a PC and get back compared to going into your nearby base, you've saved 52 minutes. A single run of the islands will net you over 100k in less time, thus making the 50k to move worth it both financially and in time. I should also point out that a significant fee can be enormously discouraging to a player not wanting to exploit its healing capabilities and instead just finding a base that they prefer. It's not uncommon for players to make their first base in the tree next to the NPC that gives them the TM after all. Players can also abuse a healing function with alts and friends/teammates as they'll be able to access those bases as long as the character is online.

Ignored the part about DesX cause you getting dunked on? Page King

Not seeing how that's an exploit, you can just fly and bike for like 25s to get back to anywhere in the game
