/vp/ Montype Tournament

Sorry about the delay, Aniny, if you are still here. Got caught up in something.

>>30609811
Oooh, Daniel is doing Poison, too?

Was it decided if aegislash was banned? Ghostfag here so it's pretty important to me.

>>30609934
It hasn't been.

>>30609923
Pika Daniel is doing electric or grass

>>30609971
Thanks for always being so helpful

>>30609811
Is there a particular reason Speed Boost Scolipede isn't allowed?

>>30610010
Can't get hidden abilities on island scan pokemon until after bank opens.

>>30609995
Oh.

>>30609999
Nice numerals.

>>30610010
Hidden ability isn't found on scan Pokémon

Same with Reckless Staraptor

>>30609847
Make sure I have your FC by posting it, my N3DS is an upgrade from years past but it still can't fully load Google Docs.

I have some HA Geodudes now. Get online, Luna and Callum, and they are yours. Also female Salandit. I'm breeding Vulpix next, then Marinie.

>>30610010
It's not in the games yet, and the tourney will take place before bank.

>>30610010
It is allowed, assuming you can get it pre bank.

>>30610037
4098-2678-4492 is my FC

>want to play electric but afraid to get ass kicked

>>30610037
I'm on, just send the invite when you're ready.

>>30609971
Interesting to see so many bug users, though the new bugs are pretty great.

I'm surprised only two people did ghost, thought there would be more of us. Can't wait, sounds real fun.

>>30610057
JUST DO IT FAGGOT

after mono type tournament, will the pokemon league challenge start right after?

also, will there be an elite four setup for after the 8 gym leaders?

>>30610030
Oh, I didn't know that.
Good to know.

>>30610101
No. It's just one champ that takes challenges after someone beats the gyms. I personally don't like this setup, but it's what we are stuck with since they are so dead set on holding it this way every year.

>>30610079
Still super early for signups, there are lots of people that wait till closer to deadline before submitting everything.

>>30610101
It likely will, doubt there will be an E4 though. It's pretty slow with just 8.

>>30610064
>another IGN Luna
Get the fuck out of here.

>>30610101
>will the pokemon league challenge start right after?
Probably, but it depends on interest levels. I'd almost want more tournaments instead of gym challenges.

>>30610147
no u

>>30610037
Thanks a bunch.

>>30610143
ok, thanks for the info, havent been here for a while, so i didnt know if anything changed.

also, fire seems to be a little meh, i might go water, idk yet, or i may not even enter. havent decided.

Is Silvally good for anything?
Sure it can be put on any team, but I don't know what role it can fill.

>>30610037
>>30610252
Which is what I would say if it actually had its hidden ability, but whatever.

>>30610319
FUCK HOLD ON I'LL FIX IT

>>30610037
Thanks!

>>30610319
mee-oow

>>30610355
Thanks man, no worries about the first one.

>>30610382
Passive aggression is a beautiful thing.

>>30610375
You're welcome. Gimme a bit on Vulpix.
>>30610422
You are quite welcome. Need a ditto? I feel bad giving you a male HA one.

>>30610525
Already have one, but thanks for the offer. The Geodude's enough.

What's the deal with Megas in SuMo, btw?
Are they all available? Are they allowed?

>>30610975
Only some of them.
Which is why Megas are banned for this tourney, not every type has one.

>>30611005
Are the rest available after bank?

>>30610057
electric is fine anon geeze

Poison is pretty limited...

>>30611352
There are a lot of types that are pretty limited pre bank. Time to get creative.

>>30611543
I'm thinking something like this:

Toxapex
Salazzle
Crobat
Scolipede
Haunter
A-Muk

>>30611941
What set would Haunter be running?

>>30609811
oh you're that guy from a couple weeks ago

I wish I could see the look on your face when this burns out when /vp/ loses interest

>>30612528
It's been going pretty reasonably the last three years. First thread i posted was yesterday, too.

>>30612555
checked

my mistake then, I thought you were some other anon. carry on.

night bump

Normal 1
Fire 0
Fighting 0
Water 0
Flying 0
Grass 0
Poison 2
Electric 1
Ground 0
Psychic 0
Rock 2
Ice 1
Bug 4
Dragon 0
Ghost 2
Dark 1
Steel 2
Fairy 1

Pretty good numbers considering how long it is until the deadline.
I really need to start planning my team.

So, no legendaries means Zygarde 10% is banned too, right?

>>30615227
#YesAllLegendaries

>>30615337

Are UB's considered legendaries?

>>30615415
Nope.

>>30615427
debatable. still banned though.

>>30610057
steel electric and psychic are the most OP types this gen

>>30609811
> No UBs
> No Sylvally

You are shit, and so is your "tournament"

>>30615535
Welcome back. Cheers for the bump.

>>30615535
everyone is counting on you to participate.
don't disappoint us anon.

>>30615337
go play ubers on SD then fammo

>want to enter with monofite
>only 12 lines are even available
>most of them are either terrible or are just blatantly outclassed in every way by another fighting type

well this explains the lack of fighting entrants

no die pls

>>30615535
>No Sylvally
News to me

>>30616779
honestly, making a decent team is hard for most types, especially when you find out some of their most useful moves cannot be used yet

>>30612281
I was thinking Eviolite, but he doesn't have the bulk to justify it, so I'm thinking maybe Timid with a Sash and a WoW/Hex set.

>>30612281
Timid
LO/specs
Destiny bond + 3 attacks
Use that speed

>>30620189
Destiny bond fails after consecutive use now, so specs would be a terrible choice for that.

>>30620635
Z-DB then?

>>30620649
that's pretty much useless for singles the way i understand it.
It just forces the opponent to target your mon if possible. seems like a doubles thing.

>>30620649
Scarf + Trick isn't half bad

>>30623511

>>30609811
please include /mono/ or another acronym (/mgc/ - mono/gym challenge is fine too) as well as a link back to the previous thread ( >>30579659 ) with the next OP!

There is no need to fret if the challenge keeps getting bumped past page 10.

The start date is a month away. A lot of people have access to injections.

Things will pick up post Christmas

>>30615535
Sylvally is allowed at the current moment, actually, unless I missed something.

Hey Callum, I fell asleep last night, but not before breeding a bunch of HA Vulpix. Just got off work. Lemme know when you want to trade because I'm not idling on Festival Plaza.

If anyone else wants a Timid HA Vulpix with 4 egg moves, just let me know. I'll probably do a big giveaway around Christmastime with all the good stuff I'm trying to collect and breed.

My next breeding projects are Beware, Drampa, and Oranguru, I think. Getting my 5-6IV stuff from Bank will help a lot with those.

>>30624387
Good call.

>>30626072
Just woke up. Pretty much free all day, so i'll be lurking for whenever you are ready.

Hey, it just feels nice to reunite with some nice people from /vp/.

If nothing else, maybe we could do some fun battles for practice, closer to january.

>>30626899
I'm looking forward to having a bunch of comp mons up and running again.

>>30626899
I'd be down.
I'm about halfway completed with breeding my team, working on #4 now. I'll be ready to battle here in a few days, hopefully.

Anyone know how balls pass down in this game?

>>30627961
from my understanding, the mother passes down the ball and the father can as well as long as both pokemon are the same species. idk if this means fathers can pass down balls when breeding with a ditto or not. sorry.

>>30627961
male and female can pass down the ball if bred with ditto. genderless mons can also pass down the ball if bred with ditto.

>>30628038
>>30628013

I guess you still can't have fossil mons in anything other than a pokeball.

Unless you happen to have something from the Entree Forest days.

Just realised that Gigalith now brings sand.
Fug

Is it possible to knock off Silvally's item?

>>30629221
As it so just happens, I got a Male DB Cradily on AS Wonder Trade some months ago.

>>30629664
I had a shiny net ball Anorith a while back but thought it might have been hacked, so I traded it off.

>>30629600
If it's holding a type item, no.

Adamant or Jolly Mimikyu? I'm working on a Fairy team.

>>30630912
Good to know. Thanks

>>30630927
I feel like jolly, probably.

>>30625085
This.

Fffffffuuuuuck the new Monster Hunter XX stuff in Famitsu is HYPE. New Deviants look great, Alchemy Style looks really fun, they brought back the beautiful Jungle map, and the new Beast Mode cats look really fun as well. I love Monster Hunter so much. Unlike Game Freak, Capcom tries to stuff their MH titles with content, and it shows.

wew

>>30631334
Wot

remove silvally

Anyone got any advice for someone that hasn't done this monotype stuff before?

>>30632895
sure!
Hit me.

>>30632895
>>30632963
I guess I assumed you had specific questions.
Rereading that, it looked weird.

Any idea what type you're looking to do?

>>30632895
Have an answer on your team for every type that you're weak to.
Coverage is especially important since you can encounter an entire team that is weak to one move.
Because this is 3v3, surprise moves or items on pokemon are more likely to be blowouts and decide games. Remember that all replays are public, and that formats are best of 3, so surprises might not stay secret for long.

wait a sec I I'm a monkey and didn't know megas were banned can I swap types

I'm Sandy signed up as bug I'll reregister

>>30633112
Callum will fix your shit don't worry

>>30633112
What would you like to swap too? I can adjust it.

>>30632895
>>30632998

is it gonna be a problem if i decide to sign up within a few days of the beginning of the tourney? i've never done one of these and im moving on the 2nd, and cant connect with my 3ds till i move (if at all) but im thinking of making a team and playing then, if i can.

>>30633158
I'd like to enter as water

and while we're on that, is Battle Bond Greninja banned as well?

>>30633248
flat rules doesn't allow it.

>>30633212
most people leave it that late to sign up so it wouldnt be a problem

>>30633212
It's no problem at all to do it around then.

>>30633248
Flat rules restricts it. Still happy to change it to water?

>>30633507
>>30633248
Thank fuck desu

By the by. Tournament format is going to be slightly different. Like Melee tournaments, for anyone familiar.

Pools into double elim brackets. Is reflected in the OP pastebin.

oooo another league to lose

>>30636631
Just think of it like a test run before bank comes out.

can't wait for this tourney so i can lose almost immediately and go back into obscurity until I'm summoned again

Who else got their teams completely ready?

>>30609811
>Last mono did Psychic team. Did decent.
>Did not buy latest poke game
>Doubt if i bought it right now I would have a team ready in a month

Have fun lads. I was Andriuxito last tourney or the one before. I havent been around since..

>>30637724
There are injectors lurking and people often will give away breeding leftovers and such if you needed it.
There's also the post bank tourney that would likely happen.

>>30637617
Starting to put together a basic team in the SD teambuilder. Haven't started breeding anything though.

is /vp/ exclusively shitposting?

>>30638878
i'd say 20% shitposting, 20% ironic shitposting, 25% pokephile posting, 10% animeposting, 10% bitching-about-formats posting, 5% showdown posting (which is truly its own kind of shitposting), and 10% friendly vidya posting.

So yes.

what he said. also i fucked up, showdown posting was supposed to be showderp posting. although that's probably not too far off the mark either

hey yo, z moves are cool though, right?

>>30639416
Yeah, they are fine.

>>30609811
when bank is out i wanna do a Mono grass with Torterra as my main
exactly what would i have to do to make that work?

>>30639686
Hard to say. Here was a grass team that made finals in the last season. (ORAS). Kind of a weird allowance that season.

"Venusaur @ Venusaurite
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Sleep Powder
- Synthesis"

"Virizion @ Life Orb
- Leaf Blade
- Close Combat
- Zen Headbutt
- Swords Dance"

Cradily @ Rocky Helmet
- Rock Slide
- Giga Drain
- Toxic
- Recover"

"Ludicolo @ Focus Sash
- Rain Dance
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Giga Drain"

"Torterra @ Choice Scarf
- Wood Hammer
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Outrage" "

Serperior @ Leftovers
- Leaf Storm
- Substitute
- Glare
- Hidden Power"

>>30639737
Only grass team that i can remember with Torterra in in.

>>30639737
>inb4 hurt virizion
legends were allowed only last season because it was ORAS final tourney, so don't get your hopes up about legends.

>>30639932
*gen 6 final tourney

Late night bump
