THREE Steel-types in one team? Hmmm...

 

[DragonFreak]

Better hope you have a good defense for those fire types.

lapras

Lapras can still take a lot of damage from Fire-type moves because she has Ice as one of its types, so she's neutral against them. Depending on the Fire Pokémon she opposes, she can also be in danger (especially if it's faster than her).

If Lapras is KO'ed, Volcarona destroys your team.

Actually, I think using a water-type against you might not even be necessary. Arcy could possibly take down most if not all of them, with Thunder Fang and Flamethrower. Dark-types and faster pokemon might be the only problem if tackled correctly.

Are you talking about Arcanine? Why would you use Thunder Fang instead of Wild Charge or Flamethrower instead of Flare Blitz?

 

[GalacticPetey]

He may want to avoid recoil. My Arcanine has Flare blitz and wild charge though.

To counter against water types of course.

 

[Rise Up Above It]

GP is correct, I prefer not to go for the recoil moves when there's those two pretty reliable alternatives. And yes, Arcy is an Arcanine I have in Pokémon White.

Wild charge also does this.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Oh right, I forgot about that.

Well, I've planned out 2 teams for X.

Greninja
Charizard
Lucario
Florges
Heliolisk
Hawlucha

Delphox
Blastoise
Pangoro
Aegislash
Ampharos
Gardevoir

Feedback? I know my first team is weak against fighting, but I'll be sure to take care of that.

 

[Purple Yoshi]

OK, I just got the 8th badge. I wish I could have done more frequent updates about my progress, but I've been on holidays and I don't want to post long rants on my phone. So, here's my opinion on the "climax" of the story.

Spoiler

Did anyone else think this 'ultimate weapon' is some kind of allegory for nuclear weapons? I mean, come on, powerful weapon that ended the war? That sounds too much like Hiroshima to me. Except nuclear weapons aren't powered by the souls of dead Pokemon, but still.

Yeah, I see what people meant by "It gets really dark near the end". But, I DO have a bunch of complaints about it.

1. We get almost no foreshadowing for this. We get foreshadowing that Lysandre's the leader of Team Flare, but nothing about his goal being to activate an ultimate weapon. If they had taken its time a bit, instead of just "wham, holo caster, Lysandre is evil/crazy/well-intentioned extremist.

2. The Legendary Pokemon is there for no reason. Why is Xerneas/Yvertal used to power the weapon? Again, no foreshadowing. It just feels like it's there because we need to catch the legendary during the game, not for any legitimate storyline purposes.

3. What happened at the end? Lysandre was going to activate the weapon, and then it just...backfired? What was that supposed to mean? It wasn't satisfying. Lysandre didn't even come around, he just kept trying even after we defeated him. Although I have to say that his Mega Gyarados caught me completely by surprise.

4. What was the point of Xerosic? Did he even need to be there? He was there for ONE battle that didn't even matter. They could have easily put one of the remaining Scientists in there. We battled two in one room, after all.

5. We only met AZ ONCE before this happened. And he didn't exactly tell us anything important. Was there even a connection established between AZ and Team Flare beforehand? (Also, how are you supposed to pronounce his name? A-Z, or Az?)

....ok, maybe I'm nitpicking a bit right now. I think I just had my hopes up that the story would be better than BW1, which it wasn't. I'd say it's better than BW2, though. And good god, those visuals.

I'm excited to see what happens in the post-game.

pretty sure my Lapras is a dude, and he's part water type too

minimal effect from fire type attacks at the most, I'll destroy the fire types before they have a chance to fuck with the rest of my team.

If Lapras is KO'ed, Volcarona destroys your team.

Skarmory will destroy Volcarona with Airslash, but Lapras won't be destroyed that easily.

Actually, I think using a water-type against you might not even be necessary. Arcy could possibly take down most if not all of them, with Thunder Fang and Flamethrower. Dark-types and faster pokemon might be the only problem if tackled correctly.

that is if Lapras doesn't get to arcanine first

besides, you're all talking in a "what if we had the choice to choose any Pokemon at will for this battle"

you should finalise a team before mentally challenging mine

and if you're all going in with fire types like arcanine and Volcarona, you're underestimating lapras' power and you're setting yourselves up for a hard time

 

[Master Crash]

that is if Lapras doesn't get to arcanine first

arcanine p much trumps lapras in speed, so there's that

 

[Specific Neptune]

i'll just give my lapras a quick claw

 

[Crackin355]

I think quick claws only work sometime. Kind of unreliable.

 

[Specific Neptune]

in that case I'll slap shit up with a focus band/sash

i'll also save up for some carbos' and then spam the shit out of Lapras with them

 

[Crackin355]

Is your Lapras even equipped with those?
