I imagine that getting the Metagrossite will be after the game when Steven leaves a Beldum at his house for you only this time it's holding the Mega Stone.

Most likely, yeah. Man, I'm officially pumped for this game!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7502 on:** July 10, 2014, 10:30:15 PM

I still want my Mega Milotic, and a Jynx evolution of some kind in the next generation.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #7503 on:** July 10, 2014, 10:34:56 PM

I think we're likely to see a Mega Milotic in this game!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7504 on:** July 10, 2014, 10:37:08 PM

She better since Gyrados has one.

Almost done getting my Espeon to level 50, I might actually consider putting this one on a team I like him quite a bit.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #7507 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:44:46 AM

Always loved Espeon. I'm raising a new Strike Force EON team right now.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7508 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:52:27 AM

I really like it's Magic Bounce Ability but I need to know the full details of how it works, can it only bounce attacks used against Espeon or can attacks that were already there (such as Stealth Rock) be bounced back or not.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #7509 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:54:12 AM

I thought it was just status effect stuff.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7510 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:55:46 AM

Nah it can bounce a lot of things such as Taunt, Toxic Spikes and Simple Beam.

Quickman · **Reply #7511 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:58:40 AM

I'm using a Magic Bounce Xatu currently. She bounces back arena traps and status-effecting attacks. However, she can only bounce back attacks used against her.

If she switches in after an arena trap has been set, she is still affected by it.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7512 on:** July 11, 2014, 06:59:58 AM

What I want to know is if the Xatu can bounce hazards that are already present or can it only bounce attacks aimed at it.

Quickman · **Reply #7513 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:00:53 AM

Just edited my post to reflect that, as I misread the question. If the trap is already there, she can't bounce it back.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7514 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:01:47 AM

To be fair I misworded it at first, but thanks.

Quickman · **Reply #7515 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:03:19 AM

I really like my Magic Bounce Xatu. Raised her from a baby. She's Timid and her speed is insane.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7516 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:06:02 AM

I really am fond of Apollo myself, he has Psyshock, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball and Morning Sun. I probably should put him on a Sun Team or something and probably put my Donphan in there for Rapid Spin support in case I can't predict traps and have to clear them away.

Quickman · **Reply #7517 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:09:53 AM

I haven't quite figured out Cassandra's moves, yet. She's currently using Ominous Wind, Dazzling Gleam, Fly (she's my latest Fly slave), and Psychic. I want to keep Ominous Wind, as I like it, but Psychic might go. She used to be using Aerial Ace until I replaced it with Psychic.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #7518 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:25:38 AM

Ah okay. Magic Bounce is pretty useful!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7519 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:29:57 AM

Very, an entire person's strategy can be destroyed by Magic Bounce. Also debating if I want to raise a support Dusclops with Eviolite or be a hipster and raise a Dusknoir. I think for once I'm leaning towards the Dusclops.

Quickman · **Reply #7520 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:41:04 AM

Entrainment can make Magic Bounce backfire. It's almost happened to Cassandra, but none of her moves are affected by Magic Bounce. If they were, that Audino who used Entrainment would become a pain in the ass, and the battle would be a pain in the ass.

Cassandra bounced the attack back!
Audino bounced the attack back!
Cassandra bounced the attack back!
Audino bounced the attack back!

All because the Audino used Entrainment.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7521 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:44:35 AM

The thing is that none of the Pokemon people normally use have Entrainment and those that people may use have other plans for that Pokemon. So really you never have to worry about Entrainment.

Quickman · **Reply #7522 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:46:55 AM

Good to know.

Looks like Cassandra may find herself on a competitive team. I may raise my all-speed Magic Guard Abra and make a team of speedy sweepers.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #7523 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:49:55 AM

Xatus are actually surprisingly good in the Competitive field by virtue of Magic Bounce. They can be used in many ways and have access to a lot of attacks.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #7524 on:** July 11, 2014, 07:54:48 AM

Yeah, one of the Psychic trainers I fought at PAX had a Xatu.
