I'll just chime in with some vague thoughts. Played through with pretty much just new guys though. Rowlet line is incredably underwhelming. Losing the Flying type hurt it more than it helped, the ghost weaknesses come just in time for you to be hit with Shadow Claws , Shadow Balls and Crunchs...

Just did the the Water Trial. Dartrix made short work of it. The hardest battle so far was a wild Level 8 Magnimite when I had nothing to hit it and Slowpoke, Rowlet on my team. I caught it and it's now a load bearing member of my team. Lots of items everywhere. I went through I think it was...

Can someone confirm if Wonder Trade has returned. Haven't seen anyone confirm it yet and it was one of the best features introduced last generation.

Did Buck vaporize Heatran there...

Discussions on slated mons have had deadlines the last 2 times at least. Current slate is set to send on the 20th. Viewable in the slate post itself. There's an unknown amount of time of deliberation of slates between each however.

I get that viewpoint but I think there's a big difference from putting an extra flavour move on something and giving it a wide array of coverage moves. The move restrictions are needlessly restricting for allowing fringe designs. Similarly the stat restrictions don't allow 180-ing a Pokémons...

Let me explain why I think the movepool change restrictions are terrible. In general they work because when you are changing types you can remove the moves of the type you are are removing (or similar typed moves like Rock/Ground and Water/Ice) but with something like Porygon's line the movepool...

Do we have any confirmation of TM's returning? Without the out of battle effects there's little reason to distinguish them from HM's. Could be all TM's are now HMs ?

When the slate was posted it had the deadline of 10/10 so sometime today/tomorrow [because of time differences] should see the end of this slate providing no slippage.

Clauncher Type : Water / Fire Ability Mega Launcher / Turboblaze Stat (Original) 50 / 53 / 62 / 58 / 64 / 44 Stat (Modified) (45 (-5) / 58 (+5) / 57 (-5) / 63 (+5) / 44 (-20) / 64 (+20) [+0 Overall] Moves Removed : Icy Wind , Ice Beam (-2) Moves Added : Flamethrower , Fireblast , Flare...

I 'fixed' Skarmory but honestly that restriction kind of ruins the concept given Skarmory's high base defense. The idea was it shedding the steel armour and losing most of it's defense capabilities to do a 180 on it's role. With -30, the max change I can make it's still got a very decent 110.

Alolan Skarmory New Typing: Flying New Abilities: Tough Claws / Rattled (Unburden) New Stats: 65 / 110 / 110 / 40 / 40 / 100 Removed Moves: Autotomize , Iron Head , Flash Cannon, Spikes , Stealth Rock , Iron Defense , Metal Sound , Assurance, Guard Swap, (-8) New Moves: Acrobatics, Knock Off ...

Alright this seems like a good way to get back in NeverUsed. I'll be using the alt : NU_AA_RW with Swellow. Having used Swellow rather extensively last generation I'm pretty confident it can pull of the same sort of antics this generation. Though I do kind of want to use Boomburst, having used...
