A few recent nitpicks on my end is

- When i forgot which pokemons have which moves in the games i play and how it's very different in all of the 3DS and Sword/BDSP.
- Omega Ruby's STUPID IDEA of hiding TM moves on randomly appearing mirage island areas. 3DS also locks a lot of moves with BP and most of them are moves you can't get anywhere else early.
- Mega Garchomp stone to only appear by capturing online flags is SO STUPID
- Trading evolutions...mostly those with one per save file item still exist and many of those can't be replenished. (Gliscor and Weavile are only available post game with a expensive items)

can someone explain to me how a Magneton can outspeed and one hit ko a healthy Garchomp with a non-crit Flash Cannon? I was playing Shining Pearl and that happened. my Garchomp to be fair is not Hyper Trained yet but he had full HP and got both outsped and one shot by a neutral move! what item could that battle tower Magneton have possibly had?

 

[Pokefan_1987]

Well the battle tower pokemon are known be literally cheating AI. it can happen just to end a player on a long streak.

They don't cheat lol. Only thing that might be considered cheating is them knowing your mons stats in advance so they know when to use Trick Room and stuff. They don't cheat prediction of your moves, they don't cheat damage calculations, they don't cheat probability rolls, and they don't cheat their own stats. I have verified this myself with over ten thousand battles at the Battle Tree. I've seen improbable events happen on either side, but with so many battles sooner or later improbable outcomes do occur, and I've never seen anything that should actually be impossible by the math.
Btw, to the Garchomp question, Choice Specs with Modest nature Magneton can definitely do it against an uninvested Garchomp with no hyper training, especially if Garchomp was switching in and Magneton got an Analytic boost. If Garchomp had a nature lowering Special Defence like Naive odds are higher. Magneton might not be fully evolved but it still has a high special attack stat

Was it a random Trainers or a Battle Tower opponent?. You'd have to be a -Speed Nature with terrible IVs in SpD and it must've been something like Choice Specs

Uninvested low IV Garchomp is slower (107 speed at lvl 50) than fully invested Magneton (122 speed at lvl 50), both at neutral speed natures. Even if Garchomp runs +speed like Naive it'd still only be 117 speed

Flash Cannon does have a 10 chance of lowering Sp. Defense lowered, could it have activated?

On a Garchomp it just OHKO'd? No, probably not.

battle tower, i have adamant nature. but it both outsped me and one-hit koed me. it's like it had choice specs and choice scarf... i swear the computer cheats.

Thanks, i guess it's because i haven't hyper trained yet. man i was pissed, it's so annoying to earn Battle Points.

No it was a one hit ko on a fresh Garchomp, the thing outsped me and didn't even crit

when people call pichu, marill, and mimikyu pikaclones

I call Mimikyu a pseudo-Pikaclone because it does make a Pikachu costume for itself for the sole reason to pretend it’s a Pikachu to get people to befriend it.

There was also the Pikablu nickname for Marill if it was a pikachu species when the first ones were revealed

The disrespect of the sm anime writers in Hawaii
Why did they suddenly change the artstyle to make the characters have corrupted faces in Alola, which represents Hawaii? Why did they make inappropriate characters there ? Do they imply that the ppl in Hawaii look weird and have some inappropriate behaviour ? It is not right in my opinion

[Pokefan_1987]

My biggest complaint is that the artstyle was simplified and ash ketchum was the only one who had those naruto "face whiskers" under the eyes. They even kept using it in the sequel series pokemon journeys
