136 base speed + 124 base special attack combined with perfect coverage with Freeze Dry and Hydro Pump.

It hits everything for neutral and nothing outspeeds it to revenge kill it. Only way to beat it is with priority and choice scarfers (which becomes useless if it's using a Scarf too)

Its amazing how much the abscence of a ferrothorn can do to a meta. Bundle and debatably even palafin might have stayed if the great iron wall was here.

assuming, they didn't pack Fire coverage (granted Palafin prolly doesn't). Keep in mind that Tera is still legal and Tera Blast is meant to be a more controllable Hidden Power. at the expense of being unusuable next gen so it is possible for Tera Fire Iron Bundle to be a thing specially to counter Ferrothron.

Yea, Bundle would just run Tera Fire to beat Ferrothorn.

It doesn't even need to run Tera Fire. Tera Ice (its preferred Tera type) works just fine.

252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Ice Iron Bundle Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Ferrothorn: 186-220 (52.8 - 62.5%) — 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

On top of that, Bulk Up Palafin sets eat it for breakfast if it lacks Power Whip because Drain Punch offsets Iron Barbs (and if you have Rocky Helmet, you don't have Lefties).

any way my plan in simple.

  • wait a few days in June
  • Update HOME provided no news of Game breaking bugs happen in those few days
  • port my living dex and breeding stock in HOME form both games
  • buy DLC at ealriest convience

That ways if either game gets effed as a result of said DLC pre-order, my living dex and such would be unaffected.

Flutter Mane will stay banned, and Urshifu-S will be banned as well.

Only vote left is the one for the Zamas.

Yeah, definitely wait for at least a week before using Home for S/V.

Only 2-3 more hours before Home drops. Place your bets on what transfer moves you think there will be: all of them, Gen 8+ only, or none at all?

I've transferred a couple Alphas into Violet, one of my Mewtwos, one of my Fennekins, Zarude, and the shiny Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus from Sword and Shield events. I'll do more transferring when I have time.

For those who are unaware, Pokemon that participate in the photo shoots in Legends will get a special ribbon if you send them to Scarlet and Violet.

Reminder that we have 2 parts of DLC coming in roughly 3 and 6 months, and thus we may get more teachable moves.

As is, basically HOME looks for which moves your 'mon has learned thus far, and if it can learn them in the game they are getting into. If yes, you can add them.

A bummer, but an improvement over last year's mess.

All good to hear. I might start on transferring my Pokemon to Paldea.

I transferred more Pokemon into my Violet game: the Sinnoh dragons, Arceus, Hoopa, and Kubfu.

I'm curious as to how Kubfu will evolve into Urshifu in Scarlet and Violet, or if you have to evolve them in Sword or Shield first

#8448: May 30th 2023 at 4:38:04 PM

IIRC, the scrolls should show up at the auction if you have Kubfu in your box. Can’t really test that myself though.
