You guys really need to take into consideration of how major the buff to Dark types this gen is. I lost a match in randbats solely because of this.

Anon, if you're using a dark-type mega, Tyranitar is the worst one you could use.

Use the correct Dark mega and win games.

Yes. Dark-types are now inmune to Prankster-prio status moves.

Its such a weird 'complicated ban' especially how its not really communicated ingame in any way.

I still think it's weird how they made them outright immune instead of just giving Prankster moves used against Dark-types neutral priority.

Pokemon is getting too retarded with its exceptions.

It's one thing to not use an electric move on Lanturn. It's another to remember that dark types are immune to prankster (but not common priority), that Misty Terrain blocks status, that Electric Terrain blocks sleep, that Psychic Terrain blocks priority (all of them this time for some reason), that Scald will melt a frozen pokemon, that pokemon with Oblivious cant be Taunted, that...

If you press the (+) sign on the bottom screen, and then press the (i) button next to abilities and whatnot, they tell you what they do.

I know about the status screen. The point is that these "exceptions" are getting excessive.

Why not make Prankster have normal priority against dark types instead of the move completely failing? Why not make all fire and water moves melt a frozen user?

I know people love this, but I don't see the value of all this baggage. As a doubles player, I have a lot going on in my head and not enough time to double check every ability and move's "special properties".

I think he's more talking about the fact that GF needs to decide if interactions should be 'game logical' or not. Like Scald vs Freeze, sure we know Scald is basically a Water-type Fire move but why does it work like that in regards to Burn and Freeze but not be SE against Ice or Grass types?

People can memorize type matchups, movepools, coverage, and sets of every fully evolved Pokemon, and details regarding most moves in the game. All this extra shit is nothing on top of that.

>sableyefag
>when sableye also gets the buff, and 90% of people use the mega anyways, who doesn't get any mileage out of prankster anymore anyways
Sableyefags have worse stuff to worry about than this prankster nerf anon.

i'm not even joking, the way GF handled buffs and nerfs is fucking retarded

They basically nerfed shit like t-wave's way of handling setups by lowering the accuracy and speed drops so that it could reward faggots who set up mindlessly instead of nerfing the actual chances of getting fully paralyzed

You're one of those people that play VGC for the money, aren't you? The ones that don't even play the story mode, just hop in and learn the basics of the current meta while ignoring 90% of the content/intricacies of the battle system.

You have no right to complain. Shut up.

To be fair, you can't use Gyarados on a mono dark team. Dark has to be one of the base types. Your options for a Mega are Tyranitar, Houndoom, Absol, Sharpedo, and Sableye, if it's not banned.
