• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

Is it just me, or is Beheeyem just a poor mans Reuniclus?

Reuniclus is definitely superior, but Gothitelle is inferior to both Reuniclus and Beheeyem. So, for Black players, Beheeyem is better than Gothitelle, which is why people go with Beheeyem.

I played Black so I used Beheeyem, but if I ever play White I'm definitely using Reuniclus over Beheeyem.

And there goes that theory. Kind of hard to make that assertion in the first place, isn't it?

Exactly.
Poor thing.

Well, I like Gothitelle's design a whole lot better, but Beheeyem is just a better Pokemon.

I love Beheeyem, it's an alien wearing a trench coat.
I love Reuniclus, it's a cellulose pokemon that looks like a fetus with rabbit ears.
I do not like Gothitelle, because just on looks alone, it just doesn't appeal to me. Though I do like it's 2nd stage a little.

Speaking of, a 2nd stage I can't get over is Zweilous. I don't know, I just can't find much not to like about it: it's got 2 heads, it fights itself, has that 'haircut', and it has a unique typing.

I've used both Reuniclus and Beheeyem, and I honestly loved them both. Beheeyem doesn't take hits quite as well but he's just about as powerful and I really have no complaints. Competitively, I would choose Reuniclus over Beheeyem any day, but I love both designs and Beheeyem is still great in-game.

I can imagine it now...
Beheeyem: *knocks on door of UFO believer*
UFO believer: I thought it was the man in black, not the alien in brown!?!?!?!
Beheeyem: *facepalm* abducts UFO believer
I still think Reuniclus>Beheeyem but now the statement is: Reuniclus>Beheeyem=Sigilyph>Gothitelle

i realy like gothoritas looks, but her 3rd evolution ruins it harshly. its like how lilipup evolves into that fat monstrousity.

i really wish the goth line didnt suffer from such mediocre stats tho and id use it more.

also whats a good move set for haxorus? i know things like dragon claw and giga impact is a given, but what about sword dance vs dragon dance? would it be better to get dragon dance for the +1 atk and +1 speed or sword dance for the +2 atk? and would dragon tail be a good move to put on him? its essentially a roar that does dmg in the proccess which i think would be nice on hax.

Aw, Stoutland still cool. Wait until it appears in the anime, everyone will want to use it as a footstool.

Gothitelle is ... well, I don't dislike it. She's got a cool design. I predict either Gothitelle or Leavanny will get male gender specific evos next gen though.

Dragon dance if you have a bad speed-reducing nature, swords dance if you have something like a jolly nature (yay for me :D)
Dragon Tail has low priority (destroying the purpose of Dragon dance) so i dont reccommend it.

I doubt Gothitelle will, because it and Reuniclus are counterparts. Giving Gothitelle a gender alternate evo means Reuniclus would have to get one too, and I don't see a giant, green blob becoming something different based on its gender.

I can sort of imagine Leavanny, though. But what to call it...? Anybody up for a Pokemon named Leavandrew?

Weepinbell, Banette and Jynx would all seemingly prove this to be irrelevant.

Giga Impact is a very bad move. Especially when it is on a frail Pokemon like Haxorus. Even Return in 2 turns deals a lot more damage than Giga Impact in 2 turns. Assuming max Happiness, Return has 102 base power.

Giga Impact : 150 + 0 (charging) = 150
Return : 102 + 102 = 204




Haxorus
Adamant Nature
~Dragon Dance
~Dragon Claw
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake

that is the common set. DD lets you outspeed things out, DC for STAB, RS+EQ for coverage.
You don't really need Outrage, the confusion is very crippling, especially if Hax hits itself after a few DD. With the comparison between its monstrous Attack and its okay Defense, one hit may be enough to defeat itself.
And spending 1 turn to heal confusion is not really advisable, as it means the foe gets a free hit. Make it hold a berry works......until you run out of it.
Outrage is used only on a Choice set, which means no DD and often switching, so the confusion doesn't matter.





On the topic of Gothitelle......design wise, I prefer Gardevoir, really :|

On the topic of Psychic Types, what's better, Sigilyph, or Musharna?

Sigilyph is better, as I have used it in my playthrough, and Air Slash/Psychic/Fly/Shadow Ball is great in-game. In competitive, it can set up Dual Screens and can use Air Slash/Psychic to deal some decent damage.

I never really liked either Sigilyph or Musharna.

On the topic of evolutions, who (from this Gen) do you think will/should get evos next Gen?
