So one of those late evolution Bug-types then. Hmm, we'll have to see if it's going to be like Volcarona and require a lot more effort to evolve (though certainly not up to level 59), or stays in the standard Exp group.

 

Oh right, and commercial was cool. For reference, building in the background where the kids are trading Pokes is the main library near the state capitol / mayor's office (other building in background is 'Iolani Palace).

Given this is based on Hawaii, they might rehash the Unova thing of ludicrously and unfairly high levelling requirements. After all, Leavanny and Scolipede took far longer than any other region despite being the region bugs. And then there's Volcarona, the Pokemon that takes the absolute longest to evolve from egg to the next stage.

Yeah, Unova's high level requirements for evolution was kinda dumb, and don't get me started on Hydreigon.

 I still need to cover Fighting and Fairy types and I'm not sure if I can do that with one slot. I might end up cutting the bug for the extra space. For other Pokemon I'm considering the Fire/Poison lizard is up there and Silvally can fill any roll. Though I'm not sure how easy Silvally will end up being to get.

Well I mean Poison resists both of those so it's a good call I'd say.

One of the conditions I like to have when making teams is that I can do x2 damage to all single types with STAB. Its why even with half my team being good vs. fighting defensively I'd still want a Psychic or Fairy type (less interested in Flying with half my team weak to Ice already).

Hmm so a Psychic type....Sun or Moon? The orangutan could work

 

Also there's two things that I was thinking about.

 

1. They buffed Super Potion, and I don't think anyone mentioned that?

2. I still am excited to see if Water Shuriken Accelgor will be useful. (in it's tier that is)

I think Fairy is just a better type. I'm going to wait until we the types on the last few Pokemon and figure things out from there. Like I said before, baby Arceus has a good shot of making it depending on when we can get him and his chips.

 

The Super Potion buff, as well as the other changes, were brought up. I think the other change is more important imo.

 

Does a Pokemon that fast really need a mid power priority move. I get Water helps with Fire types, but the move on average is still just really weak.

I noticed Super Potion heals 10 more HP than it's done in the past; not really much, but suppose it'll be a bit more useful in the early parts of the game (though it'll be a pain against trainers who decide to use it). Won't comment on the other thing since I rarely use Accelgor and/or play Showdown due to reasons.

 

I still gotta wait a little more than 2 hours to celebrate Pika's birthday (the drawbacks of having a late timezone), but yeah.

Depending on if Passimian is good outside of Doubles, I might consider it for a slot (although Fighting type thing is already taken by Kommo-o). But yeah, we'll see. I do plan on getting Solgaleo on team, but that'll have to wait until we can encounter them.

It can help against

Aerodactl

Mega Camerupt (in trick room too I believe)

Emboar (often Scarfed)

Fletchinder

and Typhlosion (also often Scarfed)

I did so math. On 3 hits offensive Accelgor's damage with Water Shuriken

vs. Aerodactl: 46.8%-56.8%

vs. Mega Camerupt: 63.8%-76.9%

vs. Emboar: 43.2%-51.5%

vs. Fletchinder: 56.4%-69.3%

vs. Typhlosion: 44.4%-52.5%

 

It helps, but your still DOA in all those match ups unless they have a decent amount of damage already. Plus, you also have the issue of what you'd drop for it.
