So, in all likelihood, no Ash-Greninja in the games?

You don't add something new to your Merchandise-Driven show and proceed to not have it in the main product being advertised.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

My most recent shiny was a Zigzagoon while horde training.

Useless little bugger but he is mine and I shall love him.

I do have a shiny Chatot that has the right nature and moves, but it only has 4/6 perfect IV's and its Special Attack IV is a whopping 1.

I still use it though, because close enough.

The most recent accidental/unexpected shiny I think I got was a Weavile in HG, but since I got it so late in the game I never really did anything with it... maybe I should shuffle him forward and leave him in the Bank for Z.

Aside from that I have a large amount of shinies from X, thanks to friend safaris and hordes, most of them deliberately hunted for. Though there were two Muks and a Nincada I wasn't really looking for.

So changing Flame Body to make Leech Seed not work on pokemon with that ability, yay or nay?

Great and weird luck. I was Ditto farming; I wasn't even doing any tricks for Shinies.

I mean, Leech Seed not working on a pokemon that burns things up when you touch it seems only logical to me.

It's also logical that rapid spin doesn't depend on whether there's an actual target or not but Pokemon logic.

Anyone want to battle my in game team?

Leech Seed an an immunity to Spore and Sleep Powder is the only things Grass has going for it. Don't take that away from them.

Resisting Earthquake and Scald is also nice.

Besides, it's not like you want to send a Grass type out against a Fire type under most circumstances, anyway.

Grass REALLY should resist Fairy. It makes sense from a flavor perspective and it gives one of the worst defensive Types a buff and one of the best Types period a nerf.

Ice should resist Flying, too.

And Rock should resist itself and Electric.

We already had the Rock vs. Rock conversation.

Why does Rock need to resist Electric?

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

#135246: Feb 5th 2016 at 4:55:03 PM

Eh, I think enough things resist Electric as it is.

Besides, if anything should resist Electric, it's Fire, since things that are hot aren't as conductive as they are when they're cold.

Rock should resist Electric because everyone else already thinks it does.

I used to think that Steel resisted Electric, which made suggestions to use Electric types on Skarmory rather odd to me.

At least Poison got thrown a bone with Fairies.

Oh God! Natural light!
