Thread 58170908

Uh oh... guys? It's poison attacks are super effective against steel????

JET FUEL?!

since there’s no abilities in z-a, many people are speculating it gets a freeze dry clone that’s a poison type move super effective on steel. makes more sense imo

>>58170908 (OP)
>>58170917
it's clearly getting corrosion dumbass

Didn't Salandit have a similar ability?

>>58170917
damn so this might actually be meta then?

>>58170926
corrosion is an ability which means it won't have it in ZA dumbass

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>58170938
it'll have it in mainline games or champions or whatever

>>58170908 (OP)
zacian on suicide watch

>>58170959
nah corrosion isn't good enough for mega victreegod

>>58170938
> corrosion is an ability which means it won't have it in ZA dumbass

Sure, like Regigigas totally didn't have Slow Start.

>>58170908 (OP)
I have been talking about something like this for years at this point where it's Freeze Dry but for Poison types against Steel types. It makes so much sense and would counter what otherwise is a terribly strong dual typing (Steel/Fairly) in the same way Ground/Water got BTFO.

>>58171031
it exists, it's what salazzle's signature ability does

>>58171031
They just need to make a new acid move that's super against steels

>>58171047
No, Corrosion means the pokemon can get poisoned regardless of the type.

He wants poison type to deal super effective against steel.

>>58171047
and why would they give it salazzle's signature ability...

>>58171025
regigigas is uniquely hated by gamefreak, i wouldn’t count on victreebel to get special treatment like that. more likely they just fuck with the type chart than make victreebel one of two legends pokemon with abilities

>>58171047
That’s not what it does at all. Show me Salazzle or Glimmora hitting a steel type with a super effective sludge wave.

>>58171107
They gave it to Glimmora. No reason Victreebel or Dragalge can’t have it now too.

>>58171063
acid itself should just be reworked to do it. nobody would complain, steel already tanks literally everything they can take an L from a 40bp move

>>58171158
So they are definitely not giving mega Victreebell corrosion. Got it.

>>58171240
>acid
>acid itself
are you using LLM auto-translation or something

>>58171142
Is Cherrim uniquely beloved by GameFreak, then? Because it has Flower Gift in Arceus.

>>58171107
you mean like they do all the time?

>>58171340
Esl

>>58171346
except they specified that it's a "sweet smelling acid" meaning it's obviously a unique attack or ability

>>58171340
this is extremely basic english dude

>>58171240
But then that would make all poison types better and not just mega V

>>58171340
Foreigner, idiot, or both. Please learn to read.

>>58171038
added the others

>>58171522
i'm okay with victreebel being the champion of a sweeping buff to poison types because i like victreebel AND other poison types anon

>>58171522
acid is as strong as water gun. maybe if it also gets buffed, acid spray would see use since it halves special defense, but it really wouldn’t matter much

>>58170917
>there’s no abilities in z-a
what the FUCK?

>>58171612
Same as in Let's Go, same as in Legends Arceus... where have you been anon?

>>58171570
Still enough to one shot most steel fairies if it has a high enough special attack but it would most likely get a buff.

>>58171612
It's going to be a Legends Arceus scenario where 99% of abilities don't exist, but a scant few exceptions are made like Aegislash's Stance Change since they're key parts of those species' identities.

>>58171852
if they take huge power away from mega mawile it's so over

panic

>>58171852
Is it actually going to be like Legends Arceus or is that just speculation?

>>58171956
None of the footage we've seen, whether from official promotional material or the demo that some got to play, has shown any indicator of abilities existing.
Most damningly to the fact is the Mega Absol boss fight, where no one's given a clear answer on whether or not it has Magic Bounce (seeing as how there's plenty opportunity to use Status Moves against it, which it should reflect if it is an ability haver.)

>>58171534
Should also have Ferrothorn

i like the pokemon. i hope it hsa abilities

>>58172362
Everyone is here!

I just forgot acid was a move, whoops. I thought he was suggesting poison (calling it acid) should hit steel super effectively.

>forgetting how edgy and subversive game freak always is
Clearly Pokefags have not learned from midnight form Lycanroc being able to take hits.

>>58171025
>Making regigas have an extremely low speed Stat or status that gives it slow start

You motherfuckers are dumb as rock. Plenty of other games have allies or creatures be slow as fuck naturally to reflect their size or weight. You're retarded as shit if you don't think they won't give it a persona like Stat alt to reflect its lost ability.

>>58173202
How could you forget this

>>58173104
Bumping this thread because this edit deserves it

>>58173290
This IS gamefreak we are talking about

>>58170938
For some reason I'm thinking it might get Thick Fat, but Mega Venasuar already has that ability. It seems to be a very bulky high HP mon, would make sense to run Strength Sap on it

>>58175371
>thick fat
>kanto grass-poison
forever in venusaur’s shadow

>>58175371
Except Victreebell has zero fat, it's just stretchy and full of liquid. Probably going to have very high special attack.

>>58175692
yeah, it literally can’t be high hp because megas don’t boost hp. best you could do for a mon becoming fat is a spdef boost

>>58173104
>Gets its path blocked

>>58175699
If it just keeps chlorophyll and gets attack buff, special defense buff, poison move that is super effective against steel, and strength sap, it will easily be OU or ubers

your mawile sir? your kangaskhan? did you order this sableye, sir? your medicham, to go?

>>58176697
doesn't have 4x weakness

>>58175984
How nobody came up with this yet is beyond me.

>>58177620
you are a genius that's how

>>58171852
there are abilities in za

>>58178172
there aren't, we've seen the stat screens numerous times in demo gameplay. abilities are out.
