the moment I saw the glaceon nerfs, I was extremely disappointed. I expected a better nerf. like icicle spear getting a massive damage nerf. also, the charizard buffs were unnecessary and no nerfs or buffs were needed.

2 Vilvitalmost 2 years

Zacian overperforms in every category, regardless of this slight and insignificant nerf. Zacian has a basic boosted attack that can do 160% on its final stage, which is guaranteed courtesy of his insane slows and stuns he can perform. Having a base level Unite move with [396% Atk + 23 x (Level - 1) + 650] and a maximum level of [712.8% Atk + 41 x (Level - 1) + 1170] is absolutely wildly overturned. No other Pokémon is REMOTELY CLOSE to that level of damage scaling. He needs more nerfs.
