Though the Tera Shard issue should be addressed as well, maybe once you've changed a Pokemon's tera type once the cost to do so again with less materials and then the materials required reduce even more as you change each time, you could even flavor it as if the pokemon is growing more proficient with mastering terastalization so it can change tera types more quickly. You'd still have to trade for or play through Arceus to get Enamorus, but that Enamorus would be perfectly fine to use since you could just manage its IV's and dump speed or whatever stat you don't want. Giving players some way to toggle their IV's at a more granular level would solve the majority of problems associated with putting together a perfect team. Pokemon that are in a support role do not want perfect IV's in attack, because if they do they'll deal increased damage to themselves from confusion and take increased damage from foul play, a move that calculates damage based on the attack stat of the opponent. ![]() They've made large strides in making competitive battling more accessible, but it still isn't enough because bottle caps only raise IV's to their maximum value, which isn't always needed and in fact sometimes needs to be avoided. Put that person up against a person who genned a perfect Enamorus and you have an unfair matchup due to circumstances that are beyond the boundaries of what's possible with the game and the rules, even if there's an infinitesimally small chance that the perfect Enamorus is legit.īut this is a problem that's on TPC to solve. It's very conceivable that someone wants to compete but can't or doesn't want to spend the ungodly amount of time to get an Enamorus with the perfect IV spread they need so they say fuck it and just run with the one they get. In the current context with how the game is played, genned mons are problematic because it gives the people who genned mons an unfair leg up on people who didn't or couldn't, whether it's because they're ignorant of the existence of third party tools or because they're trying to obey the rules. ![]() Like I'm sorry, but this is fucking asinine - and until Gamefreak adds in a team editor that can quickly get a competitive team ready from scratch, hacking will always be a thing because of how long and tedious the grind to get a competitive team legitimately is. 17 minutes would already be excessive given how often you will have adjust your team in response to meta shifts or simply to fine-tune your strategy, and by extension, your mons' EVs and IVs, but this is not 17 minutes, it's 17 hours. It took the creator of this video 17 HOURS to get a competitive team in Scarlet and Violet - and keep in mind that this number in practice would almost certainly be higher, as this video didn't take the Tera shard grind or the process of getting a 0 Speed Enamorus or Ursaluna into account. I think posting this video is obligatory just to show how absurd the process of getting a legitimate competitive team still is and to refute the idea that "things have gotten better", because it really hasn't and anyone who says this clearly has not played competitive Pokemon on cartridge: View: ![]() Just hopefully by gen 10 they’ll have systems so that hacking is no longer necessary to avoid headaches to manage creating and tweaking a competitive team. That said if the rules state not to use hacked Pokémon, can’t really fault them for enforcing the rules. I think if they make EVs a thing that is not tied to a stat until someone allocates it (and allows for that allocation to take place/be switched at any time), introduce a 0 IV bottle cap, and further reduce other grinding, they’ll be doing right by that audience. I don’t compete but I do enjoy competitive battling, and they have yet to create a suitable environment for that (I don’t hack anything, I just deal with sub optimal teams lol). ![]() Before SWSH, it must have been a nightmare to manage (big yikes at the DS days). It’s a lot of work, especially when you factor in that people need to tweak teams after testing them. You can’t easily tweak EVs, which are not visible and require very careful planning just to make a simple adjustment. My first thought is why aren’t people hacking more careful about it? Because honestly it seems easy enough to do it in a manner that a hacked team wouldn’t be detected…Įven with all the advancements, it’s not easy still.
