Bug Buzz users like Vikavolt and Frosmoth and Kommo-O with Clanging Scales should benefit too.So about the new item throat spray... it raises SpA using sound based moves. Wonder if it activates before or after using sound moves. Will also be something mainstream on toxtricity and perhaps a niche set for Sylveon, Rillaboom, and maybe Flygon with it's silly 80 base SpA :P Probably missing several more notable examples...
And to add to that, BST increases?Odd question, but has the leaker mentioned anything about old pokemon learning any new moves?
I know the Battle Tower ones are accurate or extremely close to being so but in the case of like Greedent the estimates seem weird to me unless Gamefreak decided this was the gen they'd reward the early game rodent with an extra 50 BSTMost of the estimates are actually from Pokemon that were just caught from what I heard. Apparently everything in the wild area becomes level 60 in the post game. And some of the estimates (the ones from the battle tower rental teams) we can be fairly confident are spot on because the EVs seem to be very predictable based on the returning mons in those teams and they all have perfect IVs across the board
I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect the leaker to reveal BST changes for old pokemon. We wouldn't even know where to look and even if we checked the right pokemon it's not guaranteed to show anything conclusive due to ivs and evsAnd to add to that, BST increases?
I agree that’s why I ended up copying the other guy and using 15 IVs and 60 EVs each. Only 2 of the demo stats matched with the leaked stats, HP and Sp.Atk, which is understandable because those actually didn’t change much. Idk if SwSh has a feature that lets us see numerical EV values for each stat tho.Almost all the estimates that have been boosted are too high because they dont take into account the fact that pokemon that high level are going to have EVs just by being in the party at some time. For example the 15IV 0EV calculations for Greedent had it at 467 BST when the early game rodents always have had a BST between 410-425...the potential ranges are extremely large because of the difference EVs make in stats.
Oh wait can Corviknight be caught in the wild area at lv 60-ish? If so, then it would have almost 0 EV’s. It would literally be impossible for Corvi to have its demo stats. In this case, Smogon’s calculations might actually be spot onMost of the estimates are actually from Pokemon that were just caught from what I heard.

Probably not as crazy as it looks. It has comparable stats to Stoutland who also has a ~500 bst. Think of it less as a trash rodent and more of an early game mammal and it makes a bit more sense. Diggersby and Gumshoos also have high base stats when their abilities are taken into account.I know the Battle Tower ones are accurate or extremely close to being so but in the case of like Greedent the estimates seem weird to me unless Gamefreak decided this was the gen they'd reward the early game rodent with an extra 50 BST
I mean you're still taking into account ability Diggersby and Gumshoos both had a BST under 425 and Stoutland wasnt the early game rodent of gen 5, watchog was and he has 420 BST which is about standard.Probably not as crazy as it looks.

Corviknight I think was calculated off the battle tower rental, so it's stats are probably exact since those have predictable EVs and perfect IVsI agree that’s why I ended up copying the other guy and using 15 IVs and 60 EVs each.

I know that there’s always some long standing trends such as early rodents having a BST no larger than 425 like you said, but this is the same company that decided to make Mega Rayquaza. I think anything’s possible.

I might’ve missed that. Ik the starters, Barraskewda and a few others were rentals so their stats were easily to figure out, but I didn’t see any Corvi rental leaks anywhere. Tho Blitz is probably right about most screenshots being of Pokémon caught in the post game Wild Area so I stand correctedCorviknight I think was calculated off the battle tower rental, so it's stats are probably exact since those have predictable EVs and perfect IVs
You could catch Lillipup on route 1. Same concept. Just because it's a rodent doesn't mean they're immediately hard coded to be awful. Point being an early route normal that grows up to have good stats isn't unheard of.I mean you're still taking into account ability Diggersby and Gumshoos both had a BST under 425 and Stoutland wasnt the early game rodent of gen 5, watchog was and he has 420 BST which is about standard.
Force out moves do not work on Dynamax Pokemon if I remember correctlyI'm still really curious about dynamax mechanics. My two big questions at this point are whether or not dynamax pokemon can be forced out through whirlwind and similar moves and whether or not Max moves can bypass protect like Z moves could.
I'm here trying to figure out exactly how do you throat spray if you are an insect like Volcaronia or the ice mothIce moth probably gets Bug Buzz. If it activates prior to an attack like the gems used to then it's basically Bugium Z except... better.
That's only a meager 10 USD increase though - which is nothing for a huge brand like Pokemon and the company to either sell it just as is or straight up stomach the costs. Storage is cheap nowadays unlike the era of GBs, and as incompetent as GF they would have to try really really hard to actually screw up and not fit all their stuff in a 32 or 64GB card even if in full HD.At the risk of stepping into a hornet's nest, it actually might be a factor. We'll need a full datamine of the game to know if that holds water, though.
A game being $70 compared to $60 is pretty much killing the game preemptively. You’re basically exclaiming to the world that your game is better than other switch games, or at least more valuable. Stomaching the costs makes no sense from a business perspective and would likely push back the deadline to get all of the mons in, double hurting profits. People wouldn’t like this either (whether it be higher cost or the game being delayed) . As for the data compression point, I’m pretty sure it’s just one of those “my random internet opinion holds more weight than this individual with actual game development experience” arguments, but I’m sure they could fit it on a 32/64 gb cart, yeah, but that’s not really the point (see above for why it’s not wise for them to sell it for more)That's only a meager 10 USD increase though - which is nothing for a huge brand like Pokemon and the company to either sell it just as is or straight up stomach the costs.

If the idea is to remain competitive in pricing and avoid scaring people off with the price tag then this is doing things backwards.
Seems a bit weird for an Ice type to have screen cleaner when it would ruin efforts like Aurora VeilOk we're back for another round.
