Pokémon VG Megathread

[Buu]

holy mother of forget WHY CANT I CATCH METANG? I USED 40 ULTRA BALLS AND HE IS ASLEEP, PARALYZED, AND POISONED WTF.

Um you can't poison steel types

[Ad Bot]

[Niff]

Um you can't poison steel types

jokes on you he's a steel/psychic

[Yosher]

Um you can't poison steel types

This, but for real though, I rarely actually have to resort to Ultra Balls. Quick Balls usually do the trick immediately for me.

but psychics drink tea all day, so poison has no effect.

quick balls are so much fun, it adds a time trial feel to battles.

[Nitro_Weavile]

Wha?

[naturemon]

yes you can

Except you can't but okay.

[Yosher]

Except you can't but okay.

Yes you loving can. I've been burned and paralyzed at the same time multiple times. I have no idea what game you're playing but it sure as hell isn't Pokemon XY.

Unless they changed it for gen 6 you are incorrect. Only one status is possible at a time. Pseudo statuses such as confusion and attraction don't count since they don't appear on the UI and go away if you switch pokemon.

We are talking about Gen 6.

[Bloody Mary]

We are talking about Gen 6.

I said unless they changed it. I just checked bulbapedia and they did not change it. It is impossible to be afflicted with more than one real aliment at the same time.

Mmmmno

You can only have one of the non-volatile status conditions at a time: Paralysis, Burn, Poison, Sleep, or Freeze

If you attempt to use a move such as Will-O-Wisp on a Pokemon that is already affected by a non-volatile status condition like Poison, the move will fail

Oh. It might have been Confusion then.

[Regulith]

Oh. It might have been Confusion then.

That is certainly possible

[naturemon]

Oh. It might have been Confusion then.

Jesus, I wasn't expecting such a violent response to what I thought was common knowledge to those who play.
