Goodra's believed to be based on the Lou Carcolh.

I might be a page late, but I prefer giving White Herb to my shell smashing Barbaracle. Barbacle has high HP EV along with decent amount for Speed EV to outspeed any Pokemon without its speed boosted.

I saw like a dozen pages of discussion and got excited for Z news, and it turnes out to be the same stupid "stealth rock is OP and way worse than evasion you guys!" and "competitive fans don't love pokemon!" arguments. Sigh.

Best attacking types has been updated, now with attacking combinations.

The tl;dr version is that Ice makes just about anything better offensively, which is probably why GF doesn't want to make any good ones.

That's a nice chart, but what is it supposed to mean?

Here's how it works: Find your primary attacking move at the top (As in, the colored ones). Your best option for a coverage move is the type right below it, with the second best option right below that, etc,etc.

there's also a tl;dr at the bottom which tells us stuff i'm not that surprised about (mainly ice is GREAT while normal is terribad).

The most shocking of which is that Fighting/Ice > Fighting/Ghost, even though the latter has perfect neutral coverage.

slowbro gets both, if i'm not mistaken. so does nidoking (king has a pretty godly movepool in general).

I believe a few Normal types do, too- Exploud gets a very broad movepool, for example, and its offenses are sufficient that it can bat either way offensively, though STAB Boomburst really pushes it towards the role of Special-Attacking Wallbreaker.

I sure said that!

Goodra also learn both Flamethrower and Ice Beam from TM. Hydreigon can't despite looking like it could.

You know, I'm surprised that Emboar is in RU yet most Emboar I come across in Battle Maison never gave me too much trouble.

They do from time to time. Hell, they have the hidden ability legends, and it was thanks to that feature we learned the hidden abilities of plenty of Gen VI mons.

Has anyone ever just hacked a Hoopa into their game, or did Hoopa actually not exist until the update/whatever?

We've known about it, Diancie and Volcanion (which still technically doesn't exist) since like 4 months after X and Y came out.

People have managed to get them ingame outside of events using injection(patched), powersaves(not sure if patched), and that QR code method. Same goes for AZ's Floette.

And we've known about the Unbound forme ever since the ORAS demo.

I still don't get why we keep pretending they don't exist, seeing we can reliably datamine, in contrast with the conditions at the launch of XY.
