People are so quick to defend these games with "other predators exist so new predators aren't bad" and it's weird.

Zelda
Mega

eye roll emoji

Arcanine

Mega Mawile turned a crap 'mon into an absolute force, but Metagross/Beedrill/Ray are all pretty good

a tie at the top!

Mario
Storm

"mostly?" just what are you trying to imply here?

one of them is a cactus.

nice, haven't played God of War yet

Hawlucha, but Mimikyu is also great

go rangers

my ps5 just came today so haven't run into this yet: will I be able to use my save file or do you have to start from scratch on the next-gen versions?

I haven't played the DLC yet

Koko's the best, but generally: Forces of Nature > Guardians >>> Lake

I beat hardcore mode with only normal types. I got to use a lot of 'mons I haven't used before.

They gave Swellow Aerilate and it's so strong with Specs Boomburst.
Zangoose's Toxic Boost makes it immune to poison damage here.
And Smeargle is a super cheap way of getting around that players can't learn hazards like sticky webs in hardcore mode. I'm sure they'll ban it in the next update and then I'd throw a scarf on a Heliolisk or something.

I think I'm done with the game for now but the three playthroughs were a lot of fun.

the elite four is pretty wild too

Here's the champion battle in hardcore mode: https://recordit.co/QC9nsL9MtU

Sorry, Heracross >_>

Also, I went and found a chople berry just for Xerneas Focus Blast but it's Focus Blast so of course it missed anyway.

Aww yeah. That took a lot of trial and error and a lot of deaths and a lot of Slowbro withdraws.

Highly recommend this game (with mandatory frameskip).

How are the sprites for the newer mon?

They're great! They really don't look out of place.

haha wow

Prepping for the elite four now. I'm going with this team: https://pokepast.es/0bf4c5f27523c3ac

Darmanitan-G: This thing just shreds. Base 130 speed and a tonne of strength.
Slowbro: They should have banned withdraw in hardcore mode. If I use the mega, I'm immune to crits. If I don't, I have regenerator.
Mimikyu: Wood Hammer was clutch in default mode. Disguise, priority, and fairy typing are all great.
Heracross: Hera's not awesome but I wanted to use either it or Sirfetch'd and I think it'll be better.
Donphan: Just having rapid spin seems to make opponents not use hazards. Donphan's been such an MVP - technician bonemerang is unreal. Sash endeavor + ice shard is cheap but it works.
Copperajah: If all this thing kills is geomancy Xerneas, it's a success.

This'll probably take quite a few tries but I think I've got something for everything.

(frame skip is my saviour and allows me to just treat this game like the boss rush it is)

Aw yeah Ursaluna coming to SS

Zen Mode Darmanitan is permanent Zen in this, so I'm gonna have a fiery snowman on my team

Sabrina wasn't bad with that group.

Koga had permanent tailwind and psychic terrain so I had to use two different Unburden 'mons, but Copperajah was also great there.
