[OOC] Pokemon Spiral

[fer1323]

@Noxxyou forgot about Oscar

[LuckyBlackCat]

@fer1323 ... She fell asleep before she could notice him? XD

[fer1323]

@LuckyBlackCat ok. Give me a minute

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 PM

@fer1323 If I can't reply today, I will tomorrow.

[Noxx]

It might be needed to wake Nyxx up via beating or Buneary and Swablu will take care of that XD

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Noxx Nyxx will get her reward either way.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat Sophia got smacked...that uh...I'm not really sure what she'll do in her current state.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Well that'll probably shut her up, and I think it'll actually be kind of a relief that Alexis is acting like her usual self.

@Iatos I'll reply continuing the Mew event when the other stuff kicks off (which will happen fairly soon), Heckno and I are planning to merge the two events. We've decided Mew is going to have a pretty important role in the plot. It's exactly the kind of Pokemon Team Noble would be interested in, after all...

[fer1323]

@LuckyBlackCat I will post as soon as possible

[LuckyBlackCat]

@fer1323 Ok :) I was considering having the Cubone run off and the group having to help the guy look for it, but should it just re-emerge? Because I think the Team Noble event is going to happen soon, and that will bring our characters' groups together.

[fer1323]

@LuckyBlackCatI will send my pokemon after it. How does that sound?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@fer1323 Yeah, that's the idea, it's going to take more than just Amber's Pokemon to fend off the flock.

[OtomostheCrazy]

Out of curiosity, what would any of you say the worst pokemon type is?

[Heckno12]

@OtomostheCrazy if I had to say, probably poison. It's best moves are status inflicters and those can be utilized by pokemon of many other types.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 I think that's why Fairy types have a weakness to Poison, to balance things out a little. Though many Fairy types can learn Psychic type attacks... At least Poison types are immune to the poison status effect themselves, that's one good thing.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat I'm not saying the type is terrible, but if I had to pick the worst pure typing for a Pokemon, that'd be it.

That new Poison/fire type can poison anything though, even steel and poison types.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Heckno12 Yeah, Salandit and its Corrosion ability.

I'd say the worst typing is Bug... most of the time. There are exceptions. (Yanmega, for example. Ancient Power covers Flying and Fire weaknesses, and if it learns a Grass type move, that compensates for its x4 Rock weakness. Also, Speed Boost...) That and Bug is one of the types that has a nice variety of secondary typings - much needed ones, in this case.

Some day, I want to take on the challenge of creating a Bug type trainer character for something who's actually pretty good.

What are people's favourite types here?

[OtomostheCrazy]

@LuckyBlackCat@Heckno12

I was hoping you guys would say Grass, since replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-447115897.

But now you two have given me a new idea in what to base my next few teams on.

Honestly, I hold the belief that there is no worst type (a ton of my friends keep saying that Grass sucks), and that they can all be utilized to beat anything. My favorite type, though, is water. Gimme a Feraligatr, and I can destroy any legendary or mega that people throw at me.

[LuckyBlackCat]

@OtomostheCrazy Yeah, the other day my friend was saying Grass types are rubbish, but I generally find them really useful. Status effects, healing/draining moves, all-round decent stats, immunity to spores... And they're another type with several secondary typings, which makes up for the weaknesses.

Grass is probably one of the most underrated types, and yeah, I agree that all types have their place.

My favourite, though... I think it's Ghost for the resistances, the status moves, and the creepy factor. Also, Psychic types. They often have pretty good attacking capability, and moves that cover weaknesses. In Black 2, my Espeon could easily wreck Dark types by using Signal Beam.

@Heckno12 PM about possible future event.

[Heckno12]

@LuckyBlackCat@OtomostheCrazyI'd say ice for the variety. Give me a Sneasel or Weavile and I can revenge kill anything.
