tldr; Scald burns Pokemon with Water Absorb (and most likely Storm Drain) when it shouldn't. While watching 1-2 days ago, I realized that Scald was able to burn a water absorb Lanturn. I guess this may also be the case with Storm Drain. These abilities practically grant immunity to water type moves and the secondary effects I think. I researched if this was normal, but couldn't find any reliable info on it. I then tested it on Showdown with a friend and Scald indeed does not burn Pokemon with Water Absorb and Storm Drain. It'd be great if it was fixed on PRO as well. :Angel:

6.8k now (or 7k may be). I check mine regularly and the last time the NPC told me my discoveries, I had 6.8k (or high 6.7k) See that's the information we're missing. They should inform us about these things so we can at least know what is going on.

The NPC that tell you your excavation point in Glacial Site Wasn't that what you're referring to with checking? I think it was 8k before, but then changed to 6.8k.

Bump while I see some staff members active.

From my experiment, you get your money back or even profit with sellables @ Item Maniac alone. I may have been somewhat lucky with the item drops, so it may well be a waste of money but it's more about the wasting of time for me. It's also frustrating for those who started excavating recently (like me) not being able to obtain certain fossils and rare Pokemon just by smashing rocks. Most importantly Pawniard as it is not farmable & is a good PvP Pokemon. Same with Kabuto & Omanyte. It feels unfair.

As many people who do excavations and those who check forum regularly would know, there was supposed to be a revamp with the excavation sites. However, there's still a lack of information about this and it's getting frustrating to say the least. Is the revamp done and is this the final state of excavations? If so, why are certain Pokemon so rare that it's almost impossible to encounter them? Or is the revamp still in progress? If so, why is it taking so long? Is there an ETA? I honestly believe we should be getting more information about what is going on so we can at least decide for ourselves if excavation is worth doing or not. The item returns etc. are good, but the main point of excavation for me are the rare Pokemon, the fossils and so on. I heard people saying that they were getting fossils quite frequently before and rare Pokemon such as Pawniard, Beldum every now and then. In over 2 months of excavating regularly each day, I have only encountered 1 Pawniard and no Beldums, and haven't gotten a single fossil! We need more information.

well thats not true at all cuz the pickaxe is prove of that :Shy: :thanks: You don't need happiness to smash rocks

Well the whole point of U-Turn and Volt Switch is what it does on the original games. Nothing intended with how U-Turn and Volt Switch currently work in the game like you think, as PRO tries to reflect the original game mechanics as much as possible. Most frustating VoltUrn thing on pro is your last pokemon can't use it , since you are forced to choice before the moove even hits . Wow I never realized that. :Shocked: It certainly is annoying and I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks.

Toxic will never miss if used by a Poison-type Pokémon, even during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Fly and Dig. Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Toxic_(move)#Generation_VI Source2: _ Details: I used Toxic with my Koffing against a wild Quagsire and it didn't land. Don't have screenshots, but can provide if needed.

A feature like this would increase the price of that "bad Natu" you're talking about, so your point does not make sense. @OP; inb4 "this is an MMO" I would definitely like this addition, as well as an ability capsule. And just like you said, this item/reward should be obtained after a hard enough task. May be after a quest you can only do once a day or even a week. But I don't know how it would affect the game & its economy. For me, I don't see it causing any harm to the game as long as this item/reward isn't easily obtained.

I'm not aiming to hijack this thread, but is the excavation site revamp complete? Is it currently at its final state? Can rare Pokemon like Pawniard, Beldum actually be encountered?

It has never happened to me but a server restart every 6 hours would be ideal for those who are affected. It must be very frustrating.

Hidden Power is always 60bp since gen 6. And I believe it's the same way in PRO as per this thread. The "OHKO list" is unnecessary regardless. Also funny to see the likes of Tyranitar, Ferrothorn, Excadrill not getting a mention in "the entire meta".

Very helpful thread, thanks.

Go towards the top right side of the map, you'll see an NPC behind the fences.

Who even cares about it looking bad design wise? As long as it works and keeps the game (especially economy) healthy, no one should mind answering a capture once every hour or so. Honestly, there better alternatives such as for example, forced special activities or events similar to Runesca-pe or any game with a similar botting solution. Just slapping a captcha on the game is lazy. (Not referring to development wise, but design.) -EDIT- Oh and let's also include the fact that possibly some players (who play fairly or even the people who don't understand the English language) will hate the captcha and start ranting just like currently that either it isn't effective, or too effective and annoys actual players. Oh fair enough, I see what you mean. I thought you just didn't want to deal with something that forces you to do a certain task in the middle of hunting etc. Yeah special activities sounds good imo.

What happened to the anti bot classroom? I went there twice in an hour when it was first implemented, then never again. If it means getting rid of even a single bot, I honestly don't mind being teleported to a different map and answer questions once every hour or so.

You can buy Focus Sashes in game for 5k each and four for 20k (iirc). I think it was at Chuck's Gym. Not sure if it's called exactly that, but it's the place to the right of Saffron Pokecenter.

Because of the cost to make it. Kinda a bad comparison since MS isn't made like an Escalades. Will anyone buy that 1.5m MS though, when there's a 300k one? (answer : no one will) Put only $5 and make 0 pokedollar or put $25 and make 1.5m pokedollar? Though, I do know that people just love seeing big numbers right away in the smallest cost possible, hence why people want to spend only $5 and gets 1.5m in return. Another example: instant kill ability with no real drawback is a major hit in many other games. One Turn Kill decks in yugioh, or one hit skill that deals major damage but merely depletes all your mana that can be easily recoverable with a mana recovery item, like in that one MMO......all of them are liked by many players. Technically, we do have an infinite supply. It's just that it costs $5 each. Remember last year's december? Making MS unavailable in cash shop causes the price to rise as the stock is no longer infinite. Escalade wasn't the greatest example but there's a cost for running the servers and so on... And yeah, people will not buy an MS that costs 1.5m when they're being sold for 300k. That's why no-one was selling it for 1.5m back when MS was cheap. In the same way, if there's someone willing to pay 1.5m for MS, no one (besides few nice people may be) will sell it for less than that. And that currently is the case with PRO, not the other way around. Supply and demand, inflation... Very basic terms.

True, it works. You cannot use sync and mean look at the same time though. You can also use a Sync with Taunt to prevent it from teleporting for 3 turns. That's another alternative. Edit: Oops, didn't see the post above.
