G-Darm Zen mode was actually a threat ironnically because of how strong Gorilla Tactics was: Zen Mode made G-Darm the most explosive Belly Drum sweeper in the game You brought it something scarf GT would revenge kill (so litterally 90% of the whole metagame), and as it switchs out you sub. Next you get a free Belly up, get safely to 25%, activate Zen mode and the Salac Berry, and now you have a 135 base speed at +1 (no scarfer beats that), 160 base attack at +6 monster. If the opponent didn't have any priority, it was instant game over (Icicle crash accuracy willing) The set was actually even good in Ubers, where GT G-Darm was still the best revenge killer, there were very little priorities and Dynamax was still legal. No doubling HP would help resist G-Darm, but the added power and perfect accuracy of max moves were a big boon for its sweep

Then I would take a picture of him in Legends Arceus for the only Hisui ribbon. Then I would put him in my Shining Pearl for all the ribbons there. Then I would put him back in Galar for the ultimate Mr. Rime with 3 unusable once I get all of Galar’s ribbons.

In this case, Cursola has a much better special attack than G-Corsola (from 65 to 145), giving it a different niche as a slow special attacker. However, it does not have the bulk to compensate, meaning that its niche is significantly less useable and valuable than its preevolution's passive support. Dusknoir suffers from having an attack boost (From 70 to 100) that isn't significant enough for it to separate its main niche from Dusclops, not does it resolve its issues with low base power attacks.

Weedletwineedle had an interesting doubles tech with Zen Mode G-Darm, having it Protect and have Urshifu hit it (through the Protect) with Iron Head to bring it down to 50% and proc a Weakness Policy. Since it's otherwise safe that turn (and likely draws a double target because of how threatening Gorilla Tactics G-Darm can be) it gets the setup turn. Still very weak to priority, and honestly depends entirely on the opponent expecting Gorilla Tactics. Probably not viable in competitive play.

a very cool buff they could give to cursola is magic guard.

But thats the obvius baby normie shit. give it explosion, sure i'ts not STAB and off a base 95 attack its not doing particularly much but with 50 points of difference between the atk and spa this is realisticly the only way you're really gonna use it. with life orb it can actually chunk or even threaten some things. Another suggestion is an ability that turs normal moves to ghost and honestly a ghost type explosion sounds rad as hell

Hearing your description of Zen Mode GD is really funny to me as a competitive GO player (I swear I play the main series too guys) because I automatically know from "Gorills Tactics is better because double band" that when we finally get he Zen Mode Darmanitans in GO, the Zen forms (or at least the Galar one) WILL be leagues better - because we don't have abilities and items. It's strictly stats, types, and movepools that make and break things. (examples: Melmetal is fucking _cracked with his blinding speed, I'm not making that up,_ Blissey is trash, and any Fairy that learns Charm is almost always broken) Excited to see what this 2x weak to rocks (but not the stealthy kind, we don't have that thank arceus) king can do for the meta lol

ALSO galarain mr mime is better than mr rime and i stand by it, in vgc 2020, i came second at my first MSS (in seniors) using scarf g mr mime, bc g mr mime has 100 speed and with a choice scarf, it can easily outspeed dragapult without max speed or timid and one shot it with modest ice beam whilst also outspeed scarf dracovish and ohkoing that with freeze dry and having screen cleaner as an ability is rly good vs grimmsnarl, whilst focus blast clutched up for me by ohkoing a ttar (out of sand), it isn't anything amazing but it's much more than what mr rime can do bc mr rimes 70 speed means even with a scarf and max speed timid, ur not outspeeding dragapult or max speed scarf dracovish

I have a love/hate relationship with regional form exclusive evolutions...and it's a 20/80 split, at that I do think most of them have nice designs, like Mr. Rime, Cursola, Basculegion, and especially Sneasler And then there's the likes of Obstagoon avoiding my bottom 5 simply because Bruxish and the Galar fossils already have that locked down like Fort Knox But man, I just hate the idea of evolutions tied _exclusively_ to a regional form, because I can't help but find it insulting that the likes of Linoone or Corsola could have gotten an actual evolution to give their respective lines some help [even if Linoone arguably fine as it has a niche thing going for it], but instead an Echo Fighter was made out of them and _those_ got evolutions instead, not the real deal Not to mention that those regional form evos then proceed to have more uncertainty on actually returning to a given game than if they'd existed on the regular form, because if, say, regular Linoone is allowed in a game but Galarian Linoone isn't, then you just don't get Obstagoon even if its "pre-evolution" is allowed As an aside, to anyone who has SV, I'm curious about something: Generally in breeding, if the mother is a regional form [or parent in general if paired with a Ditto] and she holds an Everstone, the child will retain being that same regional form, so if you breed an Alolan Ninetales while it holds an Everstone, the child will be an Alolan Vulpix So does the same apply to these evolutions? Like, if you give a Sneasler an Everstone, will the offspring be a Hisuian Sneasel?

Alot of these come off as being bad due to side effects of Pokemon's terrible battle system. To be a meaningful monster, you either have to be hyper offense or bulky offense. For example, ancient Misdreavus is Hyper Offense and ancient Donphan is bulky offense. Because Jynx is faster and hits harder than Mr. Rime, it has more to work with to be Hyper Offense. Same woth Galaritar. Because Annihilape has such fat HP, it can effectively be Bulky Offense for an evolved Ghost. Same can somewhat be said for Perrserker but definitely not Cursola. Even back in Red, Blue Yelllow meta, you could replace Flutter Mane for Gengar and Great Tusk with Donphan or Tauros to get the point across.

I thought the battle system is fine as-is, but I do think power creep exposes the problems wide open, even as far back as in Gen 5. Why did you consider the battle system horrible? That might help me consider for stuff like fangames.

@@TheCommenterSam Part of why I was able to start making my own games is by learning from playing a wide variety of games in a genres I like to see the good game design and bad game design. It might benefit you to play a wider variety of monster collectors OUTSIDE of Pokemon because it is a LOT of issues that pile up that other games tend to be designed to avoid. PlayingPokemon fangames would just subject you to many of the exact same issues because fangames generally use the exact same battle system as opposed to games OUTSIDE of Pokemon that use different battle systems. PP makes so many moves riskless cuz you can spam them. In unofficial Singles, you can keep Stealth Rock up despite Defog cuz of PP stall shenanigans. In official Doubles, Draco Meteor being 8 PP at max did not stop it from causing issues in BW VGC. Games like Dragon Quest Monsters, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, World of Final Fantasy Maxima, Coromon, Nexomon and Shin Megami Tensei have an MP system so strong moves are harder to spam cuz you have to actually think and budget. The elemental chart is laughably lopsided, hence Steel and Fairy prove so meta defining and Ice and Bug struggle. Yo-Kai Watch 3 meta has tons of bulky Ice monsters that are viable because the elemental chart is better balanced and elemental matchups are less of an end all be all. The 1v1 battle favors whatever has the best matchups that can just steamroll whatever is in front of them. Tauros in RBY and Great Tusk in SV are so good cuz they just beat alot of stuff 1v1 in most scenarios. Most other monster collectors use a 3v3 or 4v4 battle system so that becomes alot harder to do. Even official Pokemon formats use 2v2 for a reason. Switching is almost riskless and non-committal now because of Regenerator cores and other switch moves. If switching mechanics are supposed to be "depth", then Yo-Kai Watch 3 is a way deeper game from that mechanic alone. Switching in YKW3 has a cooldown. You have to w as it several turns to switch a monster back in. In Pokemon lingo, a slow bulky monster like Toxapex would probably have to wait 7 turns of battle before switching in again, making it far more of a commitment. Status conditions are laughably unbalanced and xan easily favor luck over actual skill. Sleep and Freeze clause exist in unofficial Singles for a reason and Game Freak has to reprogram Smeargle to keep Dark Void from being an issue, let alone Spore. Any other monster collector makes clearing them far more a skill issue. Hazard play makes or breaks Pokemon in unofficial Singles. Yo-Kai Watch 3 meta has a hazard system that has WAY more counterplay especially since you can walk AROUND the lava, rock, ice, lightning and poison hazards. Pokemon's stat spreads are universally very terrible with HP which is also why hyper offense is do good. They just have to outspeed and destroy what is in front of them like Flutter Mane's bad HP almost never mattering. Every other monster collector is more generous with HP stats and healing skills yet stall tends to be a skill-reliant gimmick strategy in those games because of the pressure from 3v3 or 4v4 battle systems. The list of issues goes on but at the end of the day, just play other games and you will see.

@@DrCoeloCephalo With these issues piling up, I can see now. My fangames will have the following: Pivoting + hazard having a more restricted distribution + possibility of reduced PP Rebalanced statuses (too many examples to write in here) Increased focus to 2v2, though starts at 1v1 to allow unfamilaiar players to be familiar with the basic game mechanics Much less lopsided type chart while still keeping the types’ characteristics Makes Speed less important and much riskier, but still advantageous if played right Make weathers and terrains helpful to a few more types, preferably the less viable ones. Reduce Super Effective hits to 1.5x. Resistance and immunities remain the same. Make it so that only the Pokémon with lowest Speed have 1.5x STAB, with the rest having 1.25x. Do those sound good?
