Pokémon Legends ZA Ranked

Well? Are you looking forward to using any of the new Pokemon in the format? Will it be all Xerneas and Mewtwo still or will there be some flavor, you think?

Which returning Pokemon do you think will be a new menace?

No legendaries OR mythicals, regardless of base game or DLC, will be eligible in season 4, so no Xerneas or Mewtwo

Oh, nice. Fun will be had again. Kids will be tricking into trying the new chomp as well so we can get easy wins.

Mega Skarmory's probably gonna have its place as a punisher to Lucario Z and Absol Z's glass cannon acts, and those two are pretty much guaranteed to be excessively abundant due to how Z Megas work.

This should just be a perpetually available mode that people can play, ranked or unranked.
GF is probably scared of the scenario when player numbers inevitably drop and spreading people too thin over multiple queues makes matchmaking come to a halt

I love that Golisopod is finally viable.

Sure it's not traditional Pokemon but I'll take what I can bet.

Though, I read First Impressions description. Is it worth running? Golisopod is strapped for coverage now more than ever since it might want to include Iron Head.

Absol Z's likely going to be out of the picture as soon as Xerneas is allowed again, not being able to land a reliable kill on anything with a fairy move that'll inevitably OHKO its glass cannon ass will be extremely damning and it doesn't particularly help as counterplay to any of the Xerneas counters.

Fair enough I guess. I had so much money from the Infinite Royale and was already set on clothes so the only thing I really felt was worth money were the vitamins.
>>58735892
“All that” and it’s just buying a handful of items on a menu vs running around across the map. To each their own but it’s not like buying vitamins is some tedious task especially with bulk buying lol
