Legendary Pokemon Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

I wonder if they'll be doing the Kyogre/Groudon events for here. I sure hope so, It boggles my mind of their moveset. And OMG thatg freakin victini, Bolt Strike and Blue flare is a better replacement for FusionFlare/Bolt. Glaciate will be good to lower a switiching-in pokemon's speed.

Dear, Game Freak: You've given out enough Victini events. Please stop

Anyway, I think it's a pretty sweet set if you ask me. Though, I'm not a big fan of Glaciate.

The more victini events the better. It gives people a better chance of getting it if they missed previous ones.

Yeah, people like me, who have somehow managed to miss all three.

Well it also boosts Victini's usage potential for me w/ more coverage

[Chaoto]

The only thing I hate and I seriously hope changes in gen 6 is the GTS doesn't show Pokemon you haven't seen so you have no chance what so ever to get event Pokemon. I haven't and don't intend to hack to get event Pokemon but because of how the current GTS works I kind of see cheating to get certain Pokemon justified.

[AmbipomMaster]

^I might be wrong, but I don't think you can put Event Pokemon on the GTS. I could've swore that the ribbon with that Pokemon prevents that from happening......

[Chaoto]

^ I've heard that too. Either way events shouldn't be the ONLY way to get them. Granted you may be able to local trade with a friend but not everyone has friends who play Pokemon and to top it off some events even if they are available in your country are area specific meaning you have to go to another part of the country just for some pixels.

I wish glaciate was as strong as BS/BF or at least as strong as fusion flare/bolt.

Glaciate's weak BP was done on purpose considering that Kyurem is supposed to be like an empty shell and fuses with the Unova Dragons and their signatures as well.

Glaciate + Bolt Strike = Freeze Shock
Glaciate + Blue Flare = Ice Burn

Victini would greatly benefit from Glaciate's speed drops if the opponent decides to switch in. I gotta say, I hope GF makes this available in North America for the people like me who didn't get into Gen V until BW2 or just doesn't have a Victini at all.

Anything that has a Classic Ribbon or Premiere Ribbon can't be traded on the GTS.

I somewhat agree w/ what you're saying here.

Especially when it comes to legendary Pokemon releases that you need to complete the Dex.

[LightSuicune]

But again, Ghetsis can't verify something that he was not alive to see first-hand and only knows about through myths.

How do you know he wasn't alive? Nobody is supposed to know any of that detail. I dont think that really matters. The story in Unova is over.... GF would not leave this stuff unexplained.

You say that they wouldn't leave this stuff unexplained, but then you also say that the story in Unova is over... the story in which things have been very profoundly left unexplained.


And I know that he wasn't alive because if he were, then he would be over 2000 years old.

well in BW2 he looks like he could be

I've never been a fan of event Pokemon with set stats, so this new Victini looks and sounds pretty bad. Yes, I am looking at it from a competitive standpoint. Blue Flare and Bolt Strike are powerful, but aren't really needed to get the job done. Plus, it has to sacrifice all nature possibilities and be forced to Lax, which lowers its speed (which is terrible). It would be better to just get a Victini with an offensive nature in my opinion.

So my question would be: Do you think Game Freak did this on purpose to prevent Victini from making an upswing in competitive use? and, Why do you think Game Freak would do that?

Side Note: Does anyone know the reason why they even made this Victini Lax only in the first place?

FYI Lax lowers Special Defense not Speed.

I...

I just...

I'm done.

anyone tried soft resetting for shiny legendaries? if so, hows progress?

[Alexander18]

I don;t even bother looking for shiny legends, too much hard work, I rather catch all of them and save the Master balls for the highest level legends.

[Blood Red Absol]

I started chasing Latios around the dream yard, I didn't save it though, I didn't realize that he approached you, anyway I was lucky I had my False Swipe/Thunder wave Absol on me, otherwise I may have had a problem.

I got the Lake trio in shiny.

I think Zekrom/Resharam are still shiny locked
