Last weekend we conducted 4chan PMQ/Q&A #3, with 1400 people contributing 4500 posts over 22 hours. I managed to spend the better part of a day answering as many questions as possible—thread here.
Since loading large threads can be a bit of a pain on slower computers, you can also see my replies from the /q/ index (hover over the "Administrator Replies" quotelinks).

Thanks to everyone who asked questions and participated!

>Parting Shot is a new move that Pancham can learn. The user lowers the target's Attack and Special Attack, then switches itself out for another Pokémon in the party.
So when can I get one of these on my LC team?

Dude. I normally don't care about post numbers, but you were so fuckin' close to a quad of 0's... it saddens me you did not get this.
But you are correct.

In October.

Wait a minute

How the hell are they going to put these on Showdown? Fan made sprites? Or will they completely switch to 3D

3D probably, but it would take forever to rip and put on a server. The real question is how they're going to make an emulator for this.

I think most people see it as just another variation of the DS, so they're hesitant to switch. In reality it's a whole new console, and the switch to X/Y's gameplay is a bigger step up than R/B to B2/W2 is.
>>
>>12350032
I highly doubt they'll be able to make a 3DS emulator anytime soon. Heck, we're still not really much into DS emulation.
Even if/when we do get 3DS emulation, it won't be in 3D or anything.

Of course it does. Both of these moves are tourneyfags TMs (Gen 4: Stealth Rock and U-turn, Gen 5: Scald and Volt Switch).

Is it confirmed that these two are getting these moves, or is it just wishful thinking?

The first thing I thought of was Whimsicott + Salamence/Dragonite.

Wishfull thinking, but knowing Trollfreak they'll probably do it for Sableye.

>>12350248
Are there any available contrary pokemon besides Spinda?

I don't think DW Serperior has released yet. Of course even then, he only has 1 attack to make use of. I hope Gen 6 is kind to Serpy and actually gives him some half-decent moves to work with.
>>
>>12350265
>sableye
>predictable

I love it when people think they know what my sableye is going to do next. They think I'll taunt and instead I burn. They think I'll burn and instead I'll trick a lagging tail to them. This is just one more move for my arsenal of unpredictability.

Just snivy line.

interdasting new double battle combo?

Shuckle gets contrary (and uses it well with Shell Smash I might add)

>>12350313
Does anyone use volt switch against their volt absorb/lightning rod/motor drive ally in double battle? Seems like a good idea, so I'm sure it must be common.
>>
>>12350286
Shuckle.
>>
>>12350336
His attack is so bad that even if he were using a high base power move, it wouldn't do shit. There's no point.
>>
>>12350207
Jesus, Sableye will be OU no matter how shit his stats are. He'll have upped Defensive stats and lower his opponent's Offensive stats.
>>
>>12350336
>base 10 attack
>Using offensive moves

>>12350340
Why would you do that rather than just hit them with electric attacks without switching?

And I'm so happy about it. Sableye has been one of my favorite pokes since I first caught one back in Sapphire. Such a cool guy, but his stats were downright terrible and he was relegated to NU. Then GF trolled me by giving him the absolutely worthless stall ability in Gen IV and giving us spiritomb, a dark/ghost that totally outclassed sableye.

I love that I'm able to use Sableye in Gen 5 with prankster, and this will truly be the story of the little engine that could if he gets an evolution and kickass new moves like parting shot in Gen 6.
>>
>>12350015
Most of the time you wouldn't want it to be prankster since that would mean if they used a similar move like U-turn that they would get switch initiative, and since Sableye is a wall you'd probably rather him take a hit than whatever you're switching in.
>>
>>12350406
I mean in the case that you want to swap out your pokemon
>>
Shit looks fake.
>>
>>12350427
Volt Switch fails to switch you out if it's absorbed.
>>
>>12350420
Sableye isn't really a wall by any means. It's fragile as shit.

and the situation you're talking about is situational. Y
>>
>>12350449
oh, i didn't realize that. so much for that idea
>>
>>12350420
Parting Shot doesn't do damage and isn't an attack though. So it would be +1 priority.

See Baton Pass.

Besides, Sableye is far from a wall. Look at its awful second-evolution-tier stats. Your Salamence would take a hit better 90% of the time.
