The Hoenn Triangle

[Ninja Eevee]

do NFEs count as ANY middle of 3 stage pokemon or just the ones specified?

[Skyler 99]

NFE can be anything that has evolved and can still evolve. So Porygon2 still counts.

Got my first NU 6-0!! http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/nu-34530606

[GenosectArceus]

Nah I don't like it it's just strange.
Like really strange.....
So what do you guyses think of litleo? It's quite derpy but I think it will have a cool three stage evolution.

I hope it becomes to Shinx of this region. If Litleo (cute name but seriously trippy and uncreative) has three stages, it'll be a great friend for my Luxray from Pearl (originally)!
Litleo looks like it may become a manticore with the scorpion stinger on the end of its tail, but I'm borderline about that. It has a good chance because of the aesthetic relationship the two have.

[Hudsonn98]

It does look like a Luxray expy and I hope it becomes a manticore as well.

Btw, Skyler, Edward Sharpe was amazing last night!

[justinjiaxinghu]

I am loving Flabebe :3 I hope it's evolution is as cool!
Also, it seems as though Flabebe you catch will have different flowers depending on what area you catch it in:
"Another newly discovered Fairy-type Pokémon, Flabébé clings to a flower early on, and then cares for it for its entire life. Because of this, Flabébé may be found holding flowers of different colors."

Ya that little thing gives me a sense of deadliness despite its appearance lol. And a dryad? Thats sounds OK i guess.
Litleo looks kinda weird imo, and I think it'll be like the Lillypup of 6th Gen.

[Hudsonn98]

I'm really hoping that Litleo becomes a manticore. I'm thinking/hoping that the normal type is a filler for it to evolve into a manticore and become Fire/Poison. I don't really like it at this point but if it evolves in a Fire/Poison Manticore, I'll use it. So far my team (and I hate planning my team when we only know of like 15 Pokemon butttt....) is:

Chespin: I've loved Chespin's curious and cute nature from the start. I think it might end up being Grass/Rock since it was revealed to know Rollout. I'm hoping for Grass/Dark though. And I hope it's relatively fast. In my dreams, Fennekin would be the slowest, Chespin would be in the middle but bordering in the fast side and Froakie would have Sceptile-like speed. I have to say though, if Froakie becomes Water/Electric which it probably won't, I'm going to HAVE to pick it.


Talonflame: I loved Fletchling and now I love Talonflame. I feel that it's going to have Swellow-esque stats. I'm super excited about Sky Battles so I can't wait to use it in those!

[Yveltal96]

Litleo is adorable! In all honesty, there isn't one of the new Pokemon I dislike. I even love the Mewtwo with a butt on his head.
The design team this generation is fantastic. Litleo should become like the Luxray of the region. I might use him on my second runthrough because I am using Fennekin on my first.
I hope that he becomes a physical attacker.

[Skyler 99]

I saw a super cute picture of Litleo in the same pose as the derpy horse from Adventure time. Can't find it right now, though...

Also if anyone wants to fight me in NU today I'd be much obliged!

4 months until release and you already have a second team... Wow

[Ponymon]

New Pokemon!!! Litleo sounds awesome, I'll check it out in a sec.

Sorry for inactivity, I'm away again in Ireland.

Litleo's Noble Roar would be more interesting if it lowered the Attack and Special Attack AND switch the opponent's Pokémon out. It'd be an opposite of Parting Shot!

So I made some competitive speculation on Fairy's possible effects on competitive gameplay.

Fairy Competitive Use and Speculation
    Spoiler:- Intro:

Show Spoiler

 

I'm still borderline with the Fairy type, but there are certain moves that I find have the ability to flip competitive gameplay. Moonblast in particular seems like a really cool move just with its name. I initially thought it to be a Fairy version of SolarBeam given its name is the planet's source of light during the night whereas the sun is the source of light during the day. This move sounds great already!
Fairy Wind doesn't sound too impressive, but according to the main site, it does severe damage to opponents. This may mean Fairy Wind will have a base power around 90.
 

    Spoiler:- Get to the point, Geno:

Show Spoiler

 

I see Moonblast being dangerous to special Dragon's such a Hydregon and special Attacker Dragonite. There are a multitude of broken options Fairies can have, one being Mold Breaker. As we know, Mold Breaker renders a massive amount of useful abilities useless! Notable wielders of this ability include Rampardos, Haxorus, DW Excadrill, DW Sawk and Throh, and DW Druddigon. A Mold Breaker Fairy type would be quite dangerous considering the Fairy type is all about various elements of magic, and thus, has a high chance at having wide movepools.
Here's some situations a Mold Breaker Fairy type with Moonblast might create:
-Contrary is negated by this Mold Breaker. Mold Breaker Fairies can use Moonblast on these opponents and still have the chance to lower the Special Attack of that Pokémon rather than raise.
-Multiscale is negated. DW Dragonite falls to its knees from a Mold Breaker fairy using Moonblast. If a Mold Breaking Fairy with even decent stats is revealed this gen, DW Dragonite may as well fall to UU and stay there.

As of now, all we know about Fairy Wind is that it has a high base power. We don't know if it'd have the same effect of hitting all opponents only like Heat Wave does. It sounds like a Special move, but we really don't know for sure (although it's highly likely).
If Fairy Wind has a secondary effect, Sheer Force FW users will probably abuse it.

In conclusion, Moonblast is going to be a pretty strong move this gen with its mechanics alone. We'll see Dragons having a hard time unless the rumor about Poison being SE against Fairy is proven correct. And even then Fairy now has Gardevoir, so Poison, already being underused, has a prime weakness.
 

Besides the speculation, imagine a Werewolf Fairy Pokémon that can use Moonblast! It'd fit perfectly!

O_O Wow. That is a lot of speculation.
Speaking of writing GAHHH I NEED TO PUBLISH MY FANFIC ITS BEEN LIKE 3 WEEKS ALREADY OMFG.

And also, about Fairy Types, what do you guys think of Sylveon itself? I mean, I think it looks pretty cool and all, but will it be able to thrive in OU like Espeon? Love ur siggy btw Genosect.

Well, first off, I think Sylveon won't be an OU Pokémon even with its type advantages. However, I do think that it'll have an OU set in a lower tier.
Second off, its speculation. Until we have all the mechanics for Fairy types and Fairy moves we can only speculate on Sylveon's strengths.

Thanxorus! I also like the Wii Fit Trainer.

Ive restarted HG to play with steel forretress (as most of you would know him), but i wont talk too much about it, as i am playing B2 by my self as ie got further than ive ever got in this game. my team at this moment is:

- Monty - Level 30

- Zoidberg - Level 30

- Hobbes - Level 30

- Anubis - Level 30

- Furaigon - Level 30

I need one more pokemon, but i dont know which. i want to avoid type overlaps as much as possible, but i dont mind if its a great team addition.

i do know that i have 3 physical attackers, and that a special attacker would be prefered, but not necessary

Use Zebstrika. Allows you to have one solid answer to Skyla and it covers your Flying Weakness. Why won't Steel Forry post on Serebii anymore D:

And, after 2 weeks and 2 days, chapter 8 of my fanfic is finally out

[Ninja Eevee]

forry, like me, sort of lost interest in the forum, and then regained interest but lost time, he does look back every know and again, but i think hes forgotten his password and cant post.

You could go back to the Virbank Complex and catch a Magnemite to use, since its evolution chain specialise in spA and it doesn't overlap any types but still has a useful duel typing.

Zoidberg is best Crawdaunt nickname ever.

Yeah, it can be surprisingly easy to lose intrest in there forums, most of us here have taken a break for a while at one point. I think Forry just took too long of a break and ended up losing intrest entirely.

[Fallen Icarus]

God, I'm already bored with these forums O___O

All I do is PM, Fizzy Bubbles, PASBL, and Hoenn Triangle, which unfortunately do not allow for breaks ;_;

Anyway, magnemite sounds like a good idea.

Volcarona is a good one if you want a special attacker, you might want to replace growlithe with it.

Then you can get a cool rock type for your last slot.

[GenosectArceus]
