Megumin Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 @Kyu I'll just ask it here hoping for an answer, no need to create another thread I guess. About items like Air balloon and Focus sash; are those going to be consumed after use? Or are they coming back after the battle? I'm specifically asking for battle facilities like battle tower, since in console games you get back berries and items like Air balloon for the next fight. Thanks! Link to comment

To the people suggesting a reduction of Draco Meteor's BP, that's sadly not an option, I'd love to do that but we're sticking to the BP the original games have. Most people seem to be in favor of testing it before we conclude that it's banworthy unless I'm miscounting. Risadex and kiwi 2 Link to comment

MosesBrenner Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Is it just Hydreigon? Salamence and kingdra are scary too. Will hydreigon be even more scary than it is right now? Dont think so. We get huge buffs with eviolite and even berries can reduce dmg. I mean how are we countering hydreigon atm. Milotic: Your fucked if hydreigon plays charge beam and gets a single boost. Mantine: Charge beam set and down Chansey: Work up down Tentacruel: Charge beam with boost down or earth power Snorlax: Fighting moves down Lets say you lead with hydreigon.Does there something change if you have Draco Meteor or not. We have Focus Sash now (think twice if you attack or switch).If i am not mistaken the only pokemon who has to switch out cause of Draco Meteor is conkeldurr. 252 SpA Life Orb Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 120 HP / 116 SpD Conkeldurr: 183-216 (93.8 - 110.7%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO //Hasty Nature 252+ SpA Life Orb Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 120 HP / 116 SpD Conkeldurr: 199-235 (102 - 120.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO //Modest Nature 252+ Atk Life Orb Conkeldurr Mach Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Hydreigon: 112-135 (66.6 - 80.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO //Sheer Force By calculating random things i am getting more and more the feeling that you have with draco meteor and the -2 SpA a better way to deal with Hydreigon than before.

Soul Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 This is why fairy type was invented... Although this would be a pain for the devs to implement since it doesn't exist in the roms required for this game, so this isn't really a solution. Therefore draco meteor too stronk, ban pls Link to comment

It's also pretty decent against some Hydreigon and Chandelure sets. Taunt Leftovers Hydreigon is slower than Aerodactyl and doesn't deal enough dmg to threathen it, so Aerodactyl walls it well considering pressure removes 2 of the draco meteor pp at once. Depending on the moveset, Aerodactyl can also be a huge annoyance for Skarmory. Edited June 11, 2018 by gbwead Risadex and Laz 2 Link to comment

DoubleJ Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Gonna help revive this thread again. In the standard BW meta Hydreigon was not banned, despite having ZERO counters. It was checked by several defensive pokes and could be RK'd by several faster offensive threats, which led to it sticking around. I guess BW also benefited from having perma-weather which made standard teams a little harder to run and negated the efficacy of Hydreigon switching in and spamming freely. Regardless, PokeMMO is about to benefit from Eviolite in a big way allowing Chansey and Porygon2 to stop any special Hydreigon, fearing only a mixed-set with Superpower which is pretty easily countered with Protect (mostly Chansey here). From the prior OU Series Finale, it was evident that most players don't run dedicated special walls so a shift in the meta is an absolute must once we get Draco Meteor. Furthermore, simply not implementing Draco Meteor for Hydreigon seems pointless when we could just complex ban the move if it proves to be troublesome, but it does deserve at least a test in our new meta with Eviolite. Having Draco Meteor in PvE, regular playthroughs, E4/Battle Tower is a must just to maintain canon. Link to comment
Gunthug Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I mean I agree it should be tested @DoubleJ but let's take any bw comparisons with a big massive grain of salt. You didn't even mention that gen 5 had access to a huge group of legendaries which provided general firepower and a power creep that overshadowed hydre's strength RysPicz and DoubleJ 2 Link to comment

I tried not to venture down that road considering how "defensive" oriented PokeMMO is. Link to comment
pachima Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 In my opinion, Kingdra has a much more troublesome boost with draco meteor than hydreigon is even able to imagine. Link to comment
