Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Honestly, should have thought of sonner as an example- if we're gonna talk BSTs, all the Eeveelutions have the same BST. The difference is in where the points are allocated to. Flareon has a massive 130 base attack, but is much less effective at its job as an attacker than Espeon, who has 130 special attack, because Flareon has very low speed. The other differentiating note is their abilities, whereas Guts requires Flareon to be losing HP to get a boost, Magic Bounce protects Espeon. It's sad, I do wish Flareon was more usable, but speed really is one of the defining things right now. I really wish Trick Room could be summoned by the ability of a pokemon, like how Sun has Drought, or Electric Terrain has Electric Surge. Or at the least, give us a turn-extending item for it.

Posted January 8, 2018 You're also not mentioning that Flareon can only take advantage of Guts with a Toxic Orb because it's a Fire-type, which kills it faster than burn would, and also its only good physical STAB, Flare Blitz, has recoil, so even if it doesn't get outsped, it kills itself in a matter of turns.

Yeah.. Flare Blitz in and of itself isn't so bad, but being combined with Guts's need for toxic, it is troubling. You could always instead switch it in on a Thunder Wave, but it doesn't have the defense to be slow. Flareon's an unfortunate mess. Come to think of it, we don't really have an eeveelution that accels at Physical Attack and Speed. Leaefon, to an extent, but its highest stat is actually its Defesne, with 95 speed falling short outside of Sun. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 3, 2018 Event goin' on for 2018 (also compatible with S/M): https://www.gamespot.com/articles/first-free-legendaries-for-pokemon-ultra-sun-and-m/1100-6456411/ https://www.gamespot.com/articles/lots-of-free-legendary-pokemon-will-be-available-f/1100-6456193/ Share this post Link to post
Posted February 16, 2018 Tenuously related post. I just picked up a flower/floral/f-Valentine dragon with "Tapu" in its code (perfect caps). I'm happy to let it go, if any of you would like it. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 27, 2018 I was going on an ultra wilds hunting spree and finally came across Mewtwo. After almost a whole week (I lost count after 300 srs) I finally got a shiny Mewtwo!! She's fabulous. I named her after one of the volcanoes in Hawaii since I was there on vacation. I wanted to catch her while I was actually ON the island, but she didn't show up until I was on the flight home. Bisharp with Thunder Wave, Swords Dance, and False Swipe is a godsend against catching Mewtwo. Caught her in a dusk ball! Share this post Link to post
Posted March 18, 2018 Can someone please help me with something? This is the third time I've missed out on an event because I don't receive the trainer club newsletter. I've had an account since black and white, but I don't know where to go to receive the messages. Can someone point me in the right direction? Or know what I"m doing wrong?

Any email from "The Pokémon Company" is the newsletter. For example, I got my Heatran/Regigigas code four days ago via an email from the aforementioned sender, pokemon@email.pokemon.com. If you changed email addresses since you joined, that could be the problem. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 23, 2018 Thank you @Sesshomaru, I think my email listed is current but I will change it and see what happens. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) There's a new Mythical Pokemon called Zeraora and I LOVE IT. It's basically the legendary lovechild of a Manectric and Luxray with some side Lucario going on. It's awesome, and I can't wait to get one. I wish its shiny version was obtainable, though!! It's so pretty. I would totally spend months soft resetting for one. Edit: This also takes Thundercat puns to a whole new level beyond Luxray. Edited April 9, 2018 by hazeh Share this post Link to post
Posted May 29, 2018 Anyone have a serial code for the SMUSUM Xerneas and Yveltal distribution? Damaged mine, can't pick up a new one. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 14, 2018 If anyone would like a shiny zygarde, I have an extra code. PM me, it expires on the 27th. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 23, 2018 Just thought I'd drop a message here to say that if anyone is missing any type of non-legendary Pokémon, I can breed pretty much anything in my Ultra Sun. I should have at least one Pokémon from every evolution line. Getting any apricorn/other rare ball or hidden ability Pokémon I don't already have would be fun in return, but I don't mind doing it completely for free either. So yeah, let me know if you guys need anything. Share this post Link to post
