PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Mega Altaria

Sopheria, Jan 2016: You really think so? :v I use Mega Altaria a lot in OU. It shuts down Mega Charizard of both kinds, like Nah said, and it's pretty good at checking Dragon-types in general.

Most difficult aspect of DPPt?

Aether?, Jan 2016: I could hardly find any battle difficult in this game. The more difficult aspect for me was just grinding itself and building an ultimate team to make battles easier, because it was tedious and took long enough.
