spikes

[zylonnick]

I know stealth rock isn't usable in PU, But how about spikes?
I need it for my current strategy, otherwise I have to change it (again).
Let me know.

One of the team confirmed for me that spikes will be in the game.

However i am sad they took out stealth rocks

That's great news!! (spikes were my alternative for stealth rock)

I think it's sad too, but we can't do anything about it. They have to leave it out to make the game more balanced.

I could care less I don't use entry hazards to much.

Meh, until you realise that they can be very helpful... SR could deal up to 1/2 of your opponent's pokemon upon switching, making OHKOs easier.

Actually it can deal 1/2 damage if the pokemon is 4x weak to rock, like Charizard.

Its 50% for 4x weak, 25% for 2x, 12.5% for 1x, and 6.25% i think for .5x

Oops, right, I was scaling it to one level less in my mind . Correcting...

Oh and 3.125% for 0.25 effective
