Pokemon X/Y

Does anyone have a HA Cyndaquil? I found a Shiny Typhlosion on the GTS for a Froakie, but it's not HA. Rash with Sunny Day / Solar Beam. -_-

 

[Mr. MR]

I don't think it has been released yet

Hoopa and Volcanion movesets, stats, and Abilities?

Hoopa certainly looks like the troll it was intended to be, "Mischief Pokemon" with Magician and all.
A base 150 Sp. Attack is massive, and Hyperspace Hole is...one-turn? 80 BP's not bad, I suppose, but Psychic/Psyshock beat it in terms of raw power.
Base 70 Speed is really bad, at least in Ubers where I think (and hope) Hoopa will turn out to be. Fortunately, it learns Trick Room.
130 Sp. Defense is okay, I guess, but base 60 Defense is just-plain ****. Psychic/Ghost has a crippling x4 weakness to both Ghost and Dark, too.
Aegislash's Shadow Sneak will kill it. It also gets Wonder Room and Destiny Bond, but meh. Trick Room > all of them anyway.

Hoopa won't be ubers, I can assure you. 130 Sp. defense is definitely better than okay, it's good even for ubers standards, it's even better in OU.
It's definitely not very trolly, Magician seems gimmicky and it doesn't even get Will-o-wisp. Trick is fairly trollish, but not amazingly so. It's not Klefki, Whimsicott, Trevenant or Sableye level troll.

I like Volcanion getting Water Absorb. Water's neutral on Fire/Water so it's not necessarily useless, whereas Fire is resisted 4x.
Base 130 Sp. Attack is pretty good, but its stuck at base 70 Speed with Hoopa.
It has a base 110 Attack with Hoopa as well, but only gets Flame Charge and Bulldoze to boost its Speed.
Volcanion...might function as a mixed attacker? With an 80 base HP, 120 Defense and 90 Sp. Defense, Volcanion could possibly be used to cripple.
Its signature move, Steam Eruption, caps at a 110 base power and has 95% accuracy. It has a 30% chance of burning the opponent.
At first glance, Steam Eruption looks like a higher-accuracy Hydro Pump combined with Scald. That is huge. Being able to deal lots of damage while possibly burning your foe is nice. And it's a Water-type attack, too! inb4 scarf / specs volcanion 1v1
Lets not forget Volcanion's amazing Fire/Water typing. Fire/Water is weak to only Ground, Rock, and Electric. It has x4 resistances to Fire, Ice, and Steel, and just x2 resists Bug and Fairy. Steam Eruption takes care of Volcanion's former two weaknesses, and it even gets Earthquake to dispose of the latter. I see Volcanion as something with crazy moveslot syndrome, because it learns things like Solar Beam (Sunny Day), Sludge Wave / Sludge Bomb, Focus Blast, Will-O-Wisp, Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Flash Cannon. Overheat was intended to be Volcanion's primary Fire-type STAB, but I like that it gets Flamethrower and Fire Blast too. flare blitz and sandstorm lolol

Yeah, Steam Eruption is amazing. The PP is a letdown, but still.

Hoopa won't be taking Shadow Balls and Dark Pulses like a boss. Even non-STAB x4 weaknesses kill its defense capabilities a lot.

And Trevenant cannot be compared to Klefki, Whimsicott, or Sableye. ;_;

I was talking about the stat itself, yeah, the x4 weaknesses are a *****.

I guess Trev's not quite as trollish as those Pranksters, but Harvest is pretty stally.

 

[Tragonight]

You want stall, see Gliscor. Trevenant's life is basically dependent on a 50% chance (without the Sun). Depending on the set.

 

[Mr. MR]

Gliscor is basically evil incarnate
There is a difference between being a troll and being the devil

 

[Tragonight]

Feebas is both...

 

[Neosquid]

I want more stallmons :c

Hmm, not quite. I'm not 100% sure how the moveset works, but it's more than a 50% chance due to Protect.

Feebas is both...

no, feebas is ass

 

[Tragonight]

What is this? And this? They sound like something straight out of Skyrim...

 

[Mr. MR]

The arrows could be a reference to Zhuge Liang
all though that is 100,000 Arrows

 

[Tragonight]

This is Pokemon. -_- What Ground-type Pokemon can shoot arrows and waves?

 

[Mr. MR]

And that was legend
Legends can influence Pokémon like the Chinese legend of a Karp swimming up a waterfall and becoming a dragon

 

[Neosquid]

This is Pokemon. -_- What Ground-type Pokemon can shoot arrows and waves?

Likely the same ground type who will probably be important in "Z", as well as the same ground type who happens to have another 90 BP physical ground move as its signature attack. I am talking about Zygarde, of course.

 

[Tragonight]

Zygarde shooting arrows might look funny.

Hopefully it learns those moves somehow. Land's Wrath is **** outside of Doubles. I don't like that its signature move is weaker than the common EQ.
