Something said during the section on Trick Room and the other rooms made me think, unlike Wonder Room, wouldn't a Room that switches the offensive stats of Pokemon be incredibly useful? It'd basically make certain moves viable for certain mons that don't fit their type's learn pool (Flareon, Luxray...), and also potentially screw over an opponent's attack strategy optimization.

Primarily the latter one I would be where the main value lies. A lot of mons are optimized to maximize one offensive stat and minimize the other via ev's and natures. Added to that, some mons also have base stats that are highly optimized to only have strong physical or strong special attaacks. As such it can heavily reduce the offensive power of a ton of pokemon (e.g. consider an Alakazam having to use its physical attack stat)

I wait for the day for when a Pokémon will get this theoretical ability. Trickery: Upon entry, this Pokémon summons trick room. Would be utterly devastating and allow for trick room to become a great play style. Pokémon like Marowak-A, Crawdaunt, Dragalge and Cofagrigis would suddenly become staples of OU and Pokémon like Kingambit, Ursaluna, Ferrothorn and Hatterene just get even stronger. It would also change VGC forever. I don’t think Pokémon is prepared for this if it ever happens.

Some extra notes: - In early Gen 9, Psychic Spam teams featuring Weak Armor Expanding Force Armarouge and Shell Smash Polteageist were very popular. This was pre-home, so Indeedee would set it up. It was a very threatening team for its time - Protosynthesis also takes advantage of sun, and Quark Drive takes advantage of electric terrain. The two cover legends make good use of these abilities in Ubers with their terrain setting; quite a few pokemon like Iron Treads, Iron Bundle, and Flutter Mane are very viable in the tier, at least in part thanks to this easy boosting. Electric Terrain with Quark Drive is rare in OU, but sun teams with Walking Wake, Great Tusk, formerly Roaring Moon, etc. and some other more traditional sun abusers are decently viable, though it ebbs and flows alongside rain - Grassy Terrain Hyper Offense is a very common team style in the current OU meta (post-Teal Mask pre-Indigo Disk), with Sneasler using a Grassy Seed with the terrain to usually live an attack and SD up before sweeping everything with Unburden. Unburden in a terrain with the terrain-related seed has also been popular with Hawlucha in Gens 7 and 8 - Trick Room was very powerful in the post-Home Gen 9 meta when Magearna was still allowed. Trick Room was actually one of the main reasons Magearna was banned, because it enabled perhaps the single most threatening offensive trick room abuser ever to see the light of OU, Ursaluna. While outside of Trick Room it can usually only do slightly better than trading at best, Ursaluna was unstoppable inside of Trick Room and would often kill half a team before Trick Room was over. Glastrier was another slightly worse but still extremely powerful Trick Room sweeper and Tera abuser on these teams and would Tera Electric Tera Blast in conjunction with Icicle Crash to underspeed and hit everything neutrally or super effectively off its giant attack stat which grew with every kill. The best setter by far, Magearna was an insanely powerful Trick Room setter and abuser itself, forcing many switches with its enormous threat level and letting it get a free turn to set up Trick Room. Fleur Cannon is a nuke, Eject Pack was a synergetic item with the strategy and Volt Switch let you get in Ursaluna or Glastier easily. The final member of the core four, Cresselia was run as a secondary setter and Lunar Dance sack to bring a damaged sweeper back to peak condition while also efficiently getting in the sweeper without wasting Trick Room turns. Other popular picks for these teams include an extremely fast Pokemon like Scarf or Booster Iron Valiant, alternative sweepers like Iron Hands, and generally strong metagame picks which also work in TR like Kingambit. Trick Room was solid enough during this time that the strategy didn’t just become viable; it actually became the top meta deck in OU for the first time ever. This reign of terror, with players decrying the brainlessness of Trick Room, lasted only about a week and a half after the team style was popularized, though, with the ban of Magearna who was the lynchpin of the whole strategy working. With Mag’s ban, the strategy once again became too high-maintenance and, after some beleaguered and ultimately doomed efforts, the other three members

The gliscor theorem, why chip damage is everything, Stealth rock, spikes, toxic are bothersome when trying to slowdown an offensive threat or break down a wall. Gliscor being immune to spikes and sandstorm adds to its longevity. While its opponents needs boots to match it, even if rock resistant that small amount of chip add up quick. Poison heal's chip healing may only be 12% but that enough to keep it around for ever. Chipping these bulky mons down is often necessary for sweepers to win games, and they're often frail enough to be dealt with if slightly chipped, or if toxic, burn or sandstorm is in effect it can cut these sweeps early. Clefable, being immune to passive damage, is a great option to show how annoying mons are to deal with if they can be weakened over time. Life orb helps to pick up kills where some moves would fall short (tho chipping that mon down would also help) but is it really worth wearing yourself down, commonly to the point of fainting, but a mon like Alakazam that would normally die in one hit anyway is still heavy punished by the slight amount of chip it's taking, well until it got magic guard and became viable again, mostly off that one buff. Stall team are entirely based of this minor amounts of damage being dealt per turn and plans to use it the entire game. With the held item constituting of boost, to be immunity to hazards, leftovers, so the chip heal can be just impactful than the damage, and rocky helmet which shape and define mons like corviknight and ferrothorn(rip maushold moment) I wrote a bit more than I was expecting, but there is a large effect from this small amount of damage. And it's fitting timing as gliscor recent ban proves that this can be quite overwhelming. Why gliscor: Spike, rocks, and toxic spreader. Immune to spike and sandstorm and toxic Poison heal having chip healing It's place on stall Commonly stop big offensive threat but it's not insanely tanky so it's hp needs stay high for the massive hitter, which chip prevents Knock off making mons more vulnerable to chip U turn doesn't do much damage, but it isn't like that damage hasn't one someone a game off that little chip while switching So if you got to the end of this, thanks for reading❤❤❤ I kinda hope that it gets a vid, but I mostly hope that atleast 1 bothered to read all this

Seeing as Grass is the only one of the three starter types that doesn't have a Weather effect that boosts its STAB attacks (yes they do have Grassy Terrain as a field condition but i'm talking specifically about Weather) i was wondering if buffing Sun or Rain (maybe even both if you're feeling spicy) to possibly grant grass types the Overgrowth ability on top of whatever they already have would be too overwhelming? (Grass types that already have overgrowth would have it's boost increased from 30% to 50% so they still get some benefit). Considering this boost only applies at 33% health or less IIRC AND they have to be at said hp threshold while weather is up, makes it in my mind, situational enough to where i think it wouldn't be broken but i could be wrong on that.

Imo currently rain is the worst weather. Both sand and snow give defensive bonuses to their types (rock and ice respectively) regardless of incoming type of attacks. Meanwhile rain reduce dmg only from fire moves and fire isn't even the weakness of water pokemon so it's not like they need that. As for the sunny weather it reduce dmg of water moves only BUT that is precisely the weakness of fire pokemon and they are the ones setting up Drought. Not just that but Chlorophyll is the ability of grass types who literally resist ALL of the weaknesses the fire types have. Meanwhile Drizzle and rain-based abilities are usually linked to water pokemon, with few exeptions. Still if you want to benefit from both water dmg bonus stab on your Swift Swimmer and the rain being set up by the ability of a pokemon - you are going to have at least 2, usually more, water types in your team. In scenario where you are being attacked by sun team and the sun is up - you switch in your drizzle mon to change the weather - you are still not reducing dmg from grass or electric attacks coming your way. On the other side if you have sun team but the rain is up and you are switching in your drought pokemon - you will reduce the dmg of incoming water moves from being rain boosted to being sun reduced, wich greatly cripple the dmg to your attack (for example if the move in the rain could hit for 200, it will do 100 without rain but in the sun it will do just 50 so its a jump from 200 to 50 wich is 25% of the originaly rain boosted dmg), on top of wich you may actually use weakness policy just like T-tar used to do with their extra bulk in the sand against special attackers. To add salt to the injury there is also Salt Cure and Freeze Dry that can cripple majority if not whole of the rain team. And on top of that rain teams are not suited for trick room, while Drought Torkoal feels right at home when its set up. Abomasnow is also slow so it might make use of it too. There is also Gigalith and Hippowdon who both enjoy TR as well, but Pelipper prefer tail wind and politoed is just not as slow against opposing trick room teams as it wished to be. Slowking is, but it can set the snow (manually) instead of the rain i think it should, with that new move Chilling Reception. I mean it makes sense for the joke part and the name, but still i wish there was similar move that pivot you out while setting up the rain. And yeah anyone can change the weather manually but it doesn't change the fact that not just the rain weather itself is the worst but has also the least flexible weather-setting-up ability users. Let's also not forget how water bonus dmg in the rain is null when opponent bring in Storm Drain pokemon. As far as i am concerned there's no such equivalent to fire attacks, nor grass for that matter. Sap Sipper and Flash Fire exist (and Well Baked Body now) but none of them drag in the move in doubles format. Everything seems to be made to make rain teams days as miserable as it can be. So how about we introduce ourself Koraidon and Miraidon to the table with one of them having the ability to criple rain teams offense and the other crippling rain teams by destroying them with electricity. Very balanaced game 2/10 would not recommand rain team to anyone. And paradox mons exist and they just happen to enjoy the sun (or electric terrain). Where are the equivalent legendaries for other terrains and weathers? Walking Wake is like the only saving grace by having water move that is NOT reduced in the sun (and also boosted in power in it) but that just makes it better in sun teams (against opposing sun teams) and not as much in the rain (the ability of Walking Wake makes him stronger in the sun so technically speaking Hydro Stream is stronger in the sun comparing to the rain boost). In my humble opinion they should have change the sunny weather effect to reduce the power of ICE type attacks (wich should melt) and keep water moves not reduced in power.

this explains what I don't like about gen 9. they combined too many good battle actions into one. you have substitute + baton pass in 1 move, electric terrain + sunny day in 1 ability. imo you should only be able to do 1 of these things at once. I'm not a gen1er btw. there is good power creep and bad power creep. and imo the decisions they made in gen 9 were not good...

Something Pokemon might mess with in the future is damaging moves that set up weather or terrain, i mean think about it, gen 8 had max moves that set weather and terrain, gen 9 introduced the first non original 4 weather moves, in chilly reception, that lets you pivot on top of weather. I could definitely imagine gen 10 taking a dabble in more moves that set weather / terrain. And of course make them very exclusive like Chilly reception, so sd, rd, sandstorm, and snowscape arent even more obsolete than they mostly already are.

I feel like another theorem could by "Why HP Might be Everything" HP is arguably more meaningful for tanky pokemon than either defensive stats. A pokemon with insanely high Phys Def or Spe Def will be easy to take out if it has low HP. It's why pokemon like Wobuffet and Quagsire can be amazing. The exception is if their defense stats are beyond saving like Wiglytuff
@eliyaskiya
10 ай бұрын
Wobbuffet's defense stats are also beyond saving though. Wobbuffet and Quagsire more fit into the Regigigas Theorem ( Why Abilities are Everything ) since Shadow Tag is what makes Wobbuffet so threatening and Unaware is what makes Quagsire viable in higher tiers.

I just hate how weather is so "all or nothing." In fact, other effects even including spikes/stealth rock or trick room either tend to be underwhelming or overpowered with nothing in between, and either it is too easy to counter or you have nothing to do so and get overwhelmed. It's just not good design IMO. Everything from the power creep, one shots, to items that LIMIT strategy, to the poor balance of types, to stat spreads far too large to expect half of them to be viable, etc. shows a franchise that has big problems with its underlying mechanics. But the focus is on everything but the games, and the concern is keeping the money treadmill running on schedule. I just feel like the franchise would be in a much better state by addressing these issues first, going back to the basics of making a good pokemon game and ignoring a new "gimmick" mechanic can give you the room for some actual innovation. It would at least give you a solid foundation to move forward. I also think they underestimate the intelligence of their audience; pushing a bit more towards strategy would do well. It's still a touch too rock paper scissors when we ideally want strategy (decision making in the moment with multiple different ways to accomplish the same goal) to have a larger role. That's my two cents anyway.
