Could be worse.
Gen 2 was only 10%.

Gen 1 had a ZERO percent chance of unfreezing - your opponent had to use a Fire move on you, or a frozen mon is as good as dead. And Blizzard was 90% acc, with a 30% Freeze rate in the Japanese Red/Green.

what are they writing in their notepads?

opponent items, natures, ev spreads, moves, etc as they learn them?
>>
>>30876050
Which Pokémon you saw at team preview
Which Pokémon you've seen that they're brought this game
What moves each thing has
What ability each thing has
What item each thing has

Maybe things like a Pokémon out/underspeeding something it shouldn't.

DIfferent people do it differently, but I definitely find writing down the six Pokémon at team preview very helpful.
>>
>>30876050
not evs or natures, but yeah, items and moves, turns of trick room, etc. The game does record some things for you now at least, but writing it down can be faster

Minimize Muk dude runs a Z-Curse Mimikyu
>>
>>30877201
literally he can't win without cheating.

thats why he loses on stream, he realizes he can't cheat when everyone's watching. his best pokemon are probably in the wrong balls so he can't use them
>>
>>30877248
Aaron loses a lot.
His YouTube channel is popular just as much because he's one of the few VGC players who can talk to a camera without dribbling as because he's actually quite good.
>>
>>30877264
So basically, don't run trick room on Mimikyu and either use it as a status mon or a set up sweeeper

This. Aaron while a legitimately good player trips at the finish line more often than not.

He's so popular mostly because he was among the first if not the first to fill in the VGC Youtuber niche that until that point had been untouched.

He's also arguably the most successful VGC player in IRL terms too. Kid is not even 20 and is more successful than 90% of the people in this thread.

If you run gluttony the pinch heal berries are godlike.

commentator's are dumb. He was never in an advantageous position the entire game. "Outpredicting" your opponent literally means nothing if it doesn't give you a huge advantage.
>>
>>30877631
Dude lost a Z-move and hit his Porygon-2 for free damage early on due to being outpredicted. That's an advantage even if slight.

Just wondering, why do people prefer eviolite Porygon2 over other Pokemon that can run eviolite like Chansey?
>>
>>30877776
off by one
>>
>>30877798
Download + okay special attack, and Trick Room support..
>>
>>30877798
recover, Z conversion, adaptability
>>
>>30877798
because chansey doesn't do shit
>>
>>30877798

it sets up trick room
>>
>>30877798
Chansey has ZERO offensive pressure and even with eviolite boost has less physical bulk than Porygon2.
>>
>>30877798
porygon2 can do decent damage with 95 sp.a and amazing coverage, especially if download gets a sp.a boost
it also has very good mixed defenses, whereas something like chansey will die to any physical attacker even if it is more specially bulky
chansey doesn't get trick room

Totally different pokes senpai! Porygon 2 has decent coverage,trick room, and recover. Chansey is balls in vgc.
>>
>>30877835
>eviolite
>Z-conversion

stop this shit vers. Anyways you'd have to be a fucking retard to run Z-conversion PG2, PGZ is just objectively better at that set. You don't see it though because the Ghost conversion set is singles oriented and not that great in doubles and the electric/ice conversions tend to stack weaknesses.

Can someone give me an argument as to why Pokemon is a good competitive game? Honest question. I would want to tear my hair out if I took this game seriously.

>tons of relevant moves carry a chance go to above and beyond their expected effect (or miss) and potentially ruin your opponent because you won a dice roll (or ruin you because you lost one)

I wonder what goes through their heads. Why are they always +40 year old looking guys too?

It's a fun competitive game.

Problem is when retards try to apply "e-sports" standards, which are cancer and only exist to ruin games. Any game trying hard to fit into the "e-sport" mold ALWAYS turns out to be shit.
>>
>>30878960
>Can someone give me an argument as to why Pokemon is a good competitive game?
It isn't. But it not being terribly competitive is one thing that makes it fun, because even the irl tournaments are very friendly, instead of being as full of vitriol like other competitive scenes get.

How do they capture the footage off their 3DS?

I thought the player used a special 3DS with capture set up, but apparently you bring your own system to the competition? How does that work? The 3DS has no port outside charging and audio out.

This is why those teams relying on evasion or OHKO rarely make it this far.

Even if they can get some wins, they will eventually run into bad luck that eliminates them.

One of the top 16 players. I only saw the very end of the match. I think it had tailwind, sleep powder, and bug buzz. I think it was the guy who lost to Enosh.

told you niggers that fini was best tapu, told you all that porygon2 would be dominant, told you all that Marowak-A would be a big deal, told you all that Z-move Krook was good.

I thought Araquanid would be too one dimensional and Kartana wouldn't be bulky enough for doubles use but lets forget that
