I've seen mimikyu/toxapex/salamence listed as the easiest team to beat super singles with, has anyone had any experience with this? Are there any particular builds to use, and which is best to lead with?

since levels are lowered to 50 for these battles, should i bother training my pokemon above that?

Using this team in super doubles at the moment

Greninja @ Lum Berry
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe / 6 HP
Nature: Naive
Ability: Protean
-Grass Knot
-Mat Block
-Scald
-Ice Beam

Snorlax @ Normalium Z / Leftovers
EV's: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Sp. Def
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Thick Fat
-Stockpile
-Rest
-Belly Drum
-Body Slam

Serperior (Shiny) @ Wide Lens / Metronome
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Spe / 6 Def
Nature: Timid
Ability: Contrary
-Giga Drain
-Hidden Power (Fire)
-Dragon Pulse
-Leaf Storm

Charizard @ Charizardite X
EV's: 252 Atk / 248 Spe / 10 HP
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Blaze / Tough Claws
-Flare Blitz
-Dragon Dance
-Roost
-Dragon Claw

I haven't seen any anons try Snorlax yet, so i wanted to try it. So far I'm at battle 23 and its yet to even hit the red zone in health.
Protean Greninja is there for obvious reasons.
That Serperior is an injected mon I got via wondertrade and I've always wanted to use one in competitive, so i thought why not.
I've also never used Charizard X competitively before either (Y fag here) so wanted to give it a go. So far It's held its own numerous times.
Almost as good as Megamence. Almost...

Finally got 50 wins in Super Singles with Primarina, Hydreigon and Mega Metagross

GP5W-WWWW-WWW5-WFVP

>>31621665
Only if you want to hyper train away deficiencies

>>31621392
i went mence, waifu fini, kartana and am at 130 strait wins
most of the time i do have to switch mence into fini, but fini is bulky, so whatever

>>31621800
thanks

So now that QR Rentals are a thing, will we start sharing our teams in the form of QR code?

What are the odds of Rock slide flinching?
90%?
It feels like 90%

>>31621915
90% for opponents
10% for you

>>31621915
30% chance of flinching
I've always gotten lucky with Air Slash and Headbutt being able to chain 3-4 flinches and both also have 30% flinch chance

>>31621955
Just for Battle Tree I like to bring Ash-Greninja with King's Rock.
Sometimes I get really lucky with stunlocking out of Water Shuriken.

>>31621779
Good job, anon
Have you done doubles or multis yet?

>>31622856

Going to do doubles next which will be a trial by fire since I never play doubles.

>>31621490
Mimikyu w/ Life Orb
Disguise
Jolly
4 hp, 252 atk, 252 speed
>Play Rough
>Shadow Claw
>Shadow Sneak
>Swords Dance

Salamence w/ Salamencite
Intimidate
Adamant
4 hp, 252 atk, 252 speed
>Earthquake
>Dragon Claw
>Double Edge
>Dragon Dance

Toxapex w/ Black Sludge
Regenerator
Bold
252 hp, 180 def, 76 special def
>Scald
>Recover
>Toxic
>Haze

mmq leads, set up with a swords dance and spams shadow claw. play rough is only there if shadow claw can't cut it. shadow sneak is good for finishing. it can easily sweep.

sally is your cleaner/secondary sweeper if mmq dies. first turn is double edge if it will kill, dragon dance if not.

pex is your fallback for waiting out the match if the above two aren't cutting it offensively, or if you've gotten debuffed out the ass. lead with toxic, then haze if need be, then scald/recover as needed. if it's not too risky, consider swapping a lot to take care of regenerator.

if you're expecting ground moves, switch to salamance.

finally, beware of mold breaker.

So I formerly got to 50+ in SS using a Dragonite, Megagross, Tapu Koko team (I'll post if anyone's interested) but I just hit 50 with another one, I'll post the details here.
A couple of introductory remarks, Aegislash is too damn good in the battle tree. Seriously, I think this mon is worth building a team around 100% of the time. Also this is going to be a team of some pretty imba pokemon anyway, so enjoy.

Lead
Kangaskhan (F) @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Crunch
- Earthquake
- Return

Fake out any pokemon that doesn't protect/resist flinch for some free damage. Don't mega evolve if it's a ghost type. Some people prefer sucker punch over crunch, it's really just up to you.

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 85 HP / 252 Atk / 85 Def / 85 SpD
Quiet Nature
- King's Shield
- Shadow Ball
- Flash Cannon
- Shadow Sneak

Like I said, this fucker is insanely good. I actually copied this set from a guy who posted his team a while ago with Mega mence and PZ i think.

Lastly
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Facade
- Stone Edge

I wasn't super sure about the set but as I played with it I'm satisfied. Great revenge killer and hits hard. I mostly put the brick break and facade up for coverage, if anyone has suggestions feel free.

The only thing that gave me problems consistently in the tree was that bulky umbreon you get in the first ~25 rounds. Curse moonlight payback confuse ray I think it is. If you can manage to get Aegislash in there at some point, it shouldn't be a problem though. I was kind of worried about a lead wishiwashi at round 49 but I ended up critting it with mega kang return, so I'm not sure how much it would've done. Anyway, there you have it. Feel free to r8 h8 appreci8, criticism is welcome as always.

Been using a rain team for super doubles and am 35 battles in so far.

Magnezone @ Air Ballon (Lead 1)
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 128 Def / 252 Sp Atk / 128 Sp Def
Modest Nature
- Thunder
- Thunder Wave
- Flash Cannon
- Volt Switch

Not sure about the EV spread yet. Air Ballon takes care of earthquake so both the opponent can't hit it and that I can use it with Mega Salamence. Thunder Wave to slow down fast threats. Thunder has 100% accuracy in rain. Flash Cannon as a strong STAB move, mainly for fairies. Volt Switch so I can do some U-turn playing with Pelipper. Rain lessen the damage of SE fire moves, Sturdy hinders it to get OHKO by fast fighting types that I can cripple with thunder wave.


Pelipper @ Damp Rock (Lead 2)
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Def / 4 Sp Def
Bold Nature
- Hurricane
- Hydro Pump
- Roost
- U-turn

Not sure about the EV spread on this one either. Hurricane is 100% accurate in rain. Hydro Pumo get a huge boost in rain. Roost to keep it alive. U-turn to easily switch out and back in again in case of hail/sandstorm/sun teams.

Greninja @ Life Orb
Ability: Battle Bond
EVs 4 Def / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
Naive nature
- Water Shuriken
- Hydro Pump
- U-turn
- Dark pulse

Standard set. Hits hard and fast.

Salamence @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake
- Draco Meteor

Special set instead of the usual Physical set. Hyper Voice gets Aerilate boost, hits both opponents and ignore Subs. Fire Blast for steel types like Scizor (rain makes it hit a lot less hard though). Earthquake as coverage that can be used with Pelipper or Air Ballon Magnezone. Draco Meteor for a strong STAB move.

Please put your input on what I could do better.

>>31623674
If you've gotten this far with that team, anon, i say stick with that team.
Is this your first super doubles run?

>>31624165
yea, I'm just worried about special walls since my team is pure special attackers

I did it with my kalosian mega venusaur.

Venusaur
Venusaurite, bold, 252 hp, whatever made def and sp def even
Sludge bomb
Giga drain
Synthesis
Leech seed

Zapdos
Life orb, timid, max sp att and speed
Thunderbolt
Heat wave
Hp grass
Roost

Sharpedo
Focus sash, max att and speed
Crunch
Waterfall
Destiny bond
Protect

It's pretty self explanatory.

It's about 50% for me. Quite a few cheese wins in doubles.

Who are good trainers to scout for in Super Singles?

>>31630981
Find some really strong pokemon you think you can work well with.
Maybe with legendaries or mega stones.
or legendaries with mega stones.

How do you get more multi battle partners?

>>31631197
Whenever you beat someone in singles or doubles, you can pay 10 BP to scout them and then you can have them be your partner, using whatever their first two pokemon were with you.
Doesn't work on Red and Blue.

>>31631339
How does that work? All I ever see are options to continue, take a break, and save record.

>>31631619
I think maybe it only shows up in super.
Or you know, when you have at 10 BP to spend.

>>31631784
I have more than 10bp, but super is probably it. Thanks.

Just got past 50 in super singles here is my team

Arcanine @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fire Blitz
- Close Combat
- Wild Charge
- Extreme Speed

Machamp @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard

Blastoise @ Blastoisinite

- Dark Pulse

>>31632455
>water pulse
why not scald

>>31632689
I guess it's up to taste.
I think Mega Launcher will mega launch Water Pulse into doing more damage.

>>31632689
scald is for defensive sets in my opinion

>>31632735
oh i didnt realize what the mega ability was, neat

Red was such a non issue after dealing with all the bullshit preceding him.

>>31633062

Have to admit, Red is a letdown after you claw your way up to him. Atleast the theme is nice.

>>31633088
After having to PP stall a Cresselia on 48 and almost getting destroyed by a thundurus on 49, beating him in 8 turns was kinda sad. I'm glad it's over, though.

>>31630237
After 50 wins you should always treat every Pokemon like it has every possible set on turn 1 until you can confirm which set it has, especially if a possible scarf set has something that can outspeed and OHKO Tapu Koko like that Heatran. Always hit it with Fake Out and scout its speed.

Of the two, which should I have used, Mega Garchomp or Mega Salamence?

Is there a set of two Pokémon that can carry you through to 50 with ease? The third one has to be mostly carried due to it being a ribbon mon.

>>31638165
Mimikyu and Megamence as sweepers, your ribbonmon as some kind of support

>>31621665
you might need moves that are learned above level 50, but you can scoop those from the Move Master old lady in the final icy Pokemon Center.

>>31624873
it just werks, since he's obviously pro PVE

https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/rentalteam/BT-4269-93DB

this team got me through singles and doubles

>>31638165
I used Togekiss and Toxapex since they can defensively cover everything besides Electric, but that was pre-bank. There's probably something that can pair better with Toxapex.

This is my first time breeding for battle tree, do you guys think that this team will cut it?

Infernape @ Choice Band
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Thunder Punch

Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Toxic
- Protect

>>31639616
dont use ferrothorn and put a fire move on infernape

>153 victories in doubles

I think I broke the game cause this is fucking easy.

>there are people who needed bank mons, tapus, ultra beasts, and megamence to reach a 50 streak
LOL

>>31639616
I've been never used infernape competitively but I'm not used to seeing it choice banded. I'm guessing there's a reason that people usually scarf or sash it. You also need a fire STAB
I like poison jab a little better than iron head on garchomp since all steel hits besides fairy is rock which EQ typically covers. Poison will get your grass types that resist EQ. No flinch hax though.
Ferrothorn would be better served replacing with toxapex. If you want to stall then you need recovery which toxapex gives you in more than one way. Plus anything with a 4X weakness is way more of a liability in the tree than normal competitive.

>>31641119

So how did you get your streak, anon? Share your secrets.

>>31641119
I needed bank mons for multis. I couldn't get good partners to save my life so I needed more variety in Pokemon I could pair with them.

How do fellow Anons think about this one? Its just a theory but im currently building this team and will try it out soon.

Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet (Lead)
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Jolly
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Swords Dance

Garchomp is just here to put out Stealth Rocks so Blaziken cant get fucked over with Focus Sashes'n'shit.

Blaziken @ Flynium Z
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs 252 Spe / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant
- Mirror Move
- Flare Blitz
- High Jump Kick
- Knock Off

Swords Dance+ a more or less resisted attack. It should kill the enemy in most cases. If the enemy is still bulky enough then i think he would not deal much DMG back.... But thats theory...
Maybe i should switch Fire/Fighting to attacks which are more reliable? Help me....

Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Zen Headbutt
- Thunder Punch
- Bullet Punch

Metagross is my backup. Except the enemy kills my Garchomp with a Fairy Type Pokemon.

>>31642463
>Using a Mega whose only STABs are guaranteed to miss
>Using Megagross when you could be using Mega Gyarados, Mega Luke, Mega Pinsir or Mega Mence. Hell, Mega Sharpedo might even be better.

Enjoy your 17 win streak

>>31642489
What about switching Megagross for Mega Scizor then?

Or better question.... Do i even need smth against fairies?

I feel like the Battle Tree would be a lot more fun if you could bring in your whole team and it wasn't just a crapshoot with what you're up against. Maybe I'm just retarded though.

>>31643140

It would be much slower as a 6v6 format but I would enjoy it just as much if not more then 3v3

>>31643140

this would be a special kind of torture. And yes I know triples were a thing

>>31638165

Just swap out your team at 49.

>>31643219
I guess to make up for it being slower they could bump up the reward.

Can Pokémon belonging to scouted trainers change abilities? I scouted a fag with a Fightium-Z Arcanine with Intimidate, but when I decided to pair up with him the little shit had Flash Fire and that costed me the streak because of a fucking Mamoswine outspeeding (A Rotom Fridge had used Paralyze), surviving an Energy Ball with an invisible Focus Sash and 2HKOing everything with Earthquake; Arcanine had also used Flare Blitz on some neutral shit instead of Rotom Fridge which led to everything getting Paralyzed, why are the partner AIs so fucking stupid?
Anyway, enough whining, my main concern is Arcanine not having Intimidate, will it keep Flash Fire or will the abilities vary from time to time?

Round 47 super singles loss
I thought they wouldn't run TWO pokemon with mega stones, so I thought charizard x could survive one +2 Waterfall
I was wrong.it used stone edge

>>31645951
So is there a difference in sets after certain rounds? Do trainers start using like, Gyarados-3 or Gyarados-4 after a certain round?

>>31645977
Don't take my observations as fact, but you usally runt into Pok3mon-1 and Pokemon-2 sets for the first 20 battles, After 20 you start seeing trainers with megas popping up, which are usually Pokemon-3 sets, Legendaries start showing up after 40 battles.

Got to 49 with MegaMence / ash-greninja and A-Marowak / Celesteela in the back
Gonna replace Greninja with Infernape for Fake out and threat to ice/rock/steel and also thinking in gastrodon for marowak, what items should I use for these two, already have lefties on celesteela

When you finally unlock super multis but it's clear you're never going to get anywhere in super like this.

Best nature for Lurantis? Jolly, right?

I'm getting stalled at 30 with standard smogon builds of mega mence, lum berry mimikyu, and life Orb Goliospod. Do I just need to git gud, or does Goliospod not work with this team? I seem to have most problems with ice types.

>>31653856
Assault vest primarina loves you senpai

Toxapex, Blissey, Poison heal Gliscor is literally unbeatable, but it's aids as hell.

The only Pokemon in the game that will trouble you is Mamoswine but you can get around that by switching between Pex and Gliscor.

If you run into trouble you've always got 32 guaranteed stall turns from Sub/Protect Gliscor.

It's cheap and stall as fuck but it's the tree so who gives a shit.

>>31653856
>>31653906

This. Currently 80 wins in with A.Vest Primarina, Life Orb Hydreigon and Mega Metagross. Also you could try switching out Golispod for a steel type for a Fairy / Dragon / Steel core

>>31654012
Do tell anon. Did you attempt to stay in on ice types or anything with blizzard/ice beam?

>>31654086
Not him but even when I think I'm in the clear they always pull something I didn't even know they could use.
Honestly, fuck the people that say this series has no strategy involved.

So, I've been thinking of using this team for Double Battles, what do you think:

1) Volcarona w/ Charti Berry
>Fiery Dance
>Bug Buzz
>Quiver Dance
>Protect / Hurricane / Psychic

2) Oricorio Pom-Pom w/ Focus Sash
>Revelation Dance
>Air Slash
>Protect
>Baton Pass

3) Hydreigon w/ Assault Vest
>Dragon Pulse
>Dark Pulse
>Surf
>Flash Cannon

4) Metagross w/ Metagrossite
>Meteor Mash
>Zen Headbutt
>Bullet Punch
>Earthquake

Basic idea is to buff Oricorio and Volcarona up with Quiver Dances and deal heavy damage with Dancer'd Fiery Dance and Revelation Dance. If I run into something Oricorio can't hurt, I Baton Pass the buffs on to Hydreigon who should be able to sweep damn near everything if buffed correctly.
Metagross is mainly there to deal with SpD tanks and priority-fuck stuff.

Seems viable?

>>31630981
CYNTHIA.
The bitch saved my ass so many god damn times.

Also, not sure yet because I haven't been able to beat her yet, but if Anabel's team as a partner is anywhere near as good as the bullshit she has when you fight her, she'd pretty much win you the Multi Supers all on her own.
>Z-Move Raikou

>>31654745
Worked my way through regular singles and then a few battles in super singles. Nothing a bit of breeding and training can't handle.

Want a clone of my trained timid koko to speed things up a tiny bit?

I'm fucking mad 5 times now I get to 40-46 rounds and get haxed, all I want is the fucking ribbon.

I keep looking up foolproof teams and they always get fucked over, how does deciduye dodge entrainment.

I have a powersaves I stupidly spent money on and haven't touched since, can I just cheat it with that?

>>31654906

What have you been using?

>>31654906
>bright powder decidueye

I almost got meme'd by this thing once. Bless you no guard

>>31654959

Singles I tried twice with a truant durant, swords dancing scolipede, and dragonite.

Doubles I tried a core of porygon z, megamence, and some rotations of primarina, azumarill, aegislash, and other generic OU mons

I'll take any advice for foolproof teams, might as well try more, I am not impressed by aegislash or primarina though.

The sharpedo had rough skin and sash so that's not the reason. Glalie had Ice body too. I have no idea bout drapion.

Why aren't people posting QR code teams to let me win easily?

>>31656678
Dark type pokemon are now 100% immune to status moves that are given priority due to Prankster. It's new for GenVII

Mega Glalie's ability is Refrigerate, which turns normal type moves into Ice, but I don't know how a Mega Glalie would be using a Z move. That one is a mystery. How'd it go down?

>>31656678

Dark types are now immune to anything that gains priority via prankster

No idea about glalie though.

>>31656820
1. Thanks for the news about prankster and dark types, as much as that fucked me over, it's good to know and kinda cool.
2. It wasn't a mega glalie just a regular one, with icebody which popped up when it healed from the hail.
3. I have the batlle recorded on my battle video and I'm set up with the global link, I'm pretty sure I can share it some how.

For shits and giggles I'm thinking of slapping a Choice Scarf on Lurantis and pairing it up with Charizard Y for some Solar Blade/Beam fun. What other two would be a good compliment for them?

>>31656630

I run Modest A.Vest with max HP/Special Attack with Energy Ball, Moon Blast, Ice Beam and Sparkling Aria

>>31657176

864KB, 1937x1667px

>>31657342
Not them but Sparkling Aria is better to use in singles since it hits harder

>>31656630
I use mine with Modest nature, 252 EVs in Special Attack and Special Defense with the rest in HP. Slap a pair of Choice Specs and use Moonblast, Sparkling Aria or Scald (depends on Doubles or Singles), Energy Ball and Psychic.

>>31657342

Higher damage output. Of course Scald is viable but I rather go for the KO then hope for burns since I'm using Primarina largely against special attackers anyways. Plus I like the animation.

>>31657378
>>31657379

then why not surf? if they happen to be burned, surf won't stop that

>>31657444

With my team only one pokemon, Hydreigon with Flamethrower for coverage, can even cause a burn and that's a 10% chance. In 82 matches so far Sparkling Aria's effect only matter for one battle. I had my Primarina going up against a Throh running Flame Orb/Guts. Even with Moonblast it would be a 2HKO so I used Sparkling Aria instead which healed the burn so it lost the Guts boost so it's Earthquake did less damage. Not saying Sparkling Aria > Surf because in a more standard 6v6 singles format Surf would be better but for my team the burn heal is not a factor.

does it get harder the farther you get and fail?
i lost after 19 wins, but now i can't get farther than 5

Anyone have that nine tails,gyrados,aegislash set?

>>31657582
yes it does. I'm sure there's more examples of how but the most noticeable one is that regular trainers start using megas

Holy shit.

This is not a drill, I finally got to the 50th match. All I want is a ribbon for my old heracross, I need to win at all costs. What 2 pokemon can carry heracross to guaranteed victory? Who will I be fighting? How much research can I do ahead of time?

Any tips for multi battle? I'm using M-metagross and Ash-Greninja but I keep losing around round 20

/50 in multi's/ here, i used Porygon Z and Aegislash teamed with Cynthia's Megacario and milotic

>>31621490
Used garchomp, tapu lele and scizor and got to 70. Only disadvantage is sending out lele before scizor but if you know the movesets of opponent it never happens

Any suggestion for good nature and EV Spread for Gliscor in tree?

>>31659774
I imagine Jolly nature with 252 in speed and attack would be alright
Give it swords dance though

Power of Alchemy Alolan Muk with a Destiny Bond Mismagius, who is quickly replaced with a megamence that can earthquake with impunity is good for a laugh in doubles up to about 30ish. I imagine I probably could've taken that further but my last slot was a komm-o because I drew a blank on the last spot and just went with whatever I saw first. Maybe in keeping with the theme of dumb gimmick I'll go choice scarf max speed investment crabominable

>>31661454
I already have all stamps.

>>31662091
which team

>>31662460

Mega Luke, Scarf Lele, Porygon-Z with Z-conversion.

Not my best team, I just got sick of Aegislash and Mega Mence and since I have all the stamps, I only care for the daily bottle cap.

>>31662858
daily bottlecap?

>>31662957
If you can win +30 matches in Super battles you're given a bottle cap as a reward once a day.

>>31657444
Remember that Sparkling Aria bypasses subs, so unless you have something that burns your opponent in your team, it's a better choice

>>31662996
And sparkling aria hurts your partner too soo....

I think I've finally found a nearly flawless team that accounts for almost any situation

Kartana @ Focus Sash
Jolly Nature, max Speed and Attack

-Leaf Blade
-Smart Strike
-Sacred Sword
-Psycho Cut

Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Adamant, max Speed and Attack

-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Iron Head

Tapu Lele @ Fairium Z
Timid, max Speed and Attack

-Psychic
-Moonblast
-Shadow Ball
-HP Fire

Kartana alone is often enough to 3-0 a team. If it manages to OHKO/2HKO the first pokemon, the Attack boost is often enough to OHKO any other pokemon. It also outspeeds many pokemon. While not perfect, it can deal with a vast majority of pokemon on its own. Focus Sash also avoids Fissure shenanigans, just as Smart Strike avoids Evasion shenanigans.

Now Kartana only has two weaknessess, fighting and fire, which means it can also be a bait for those few scarfed pokemon that outspeeds it. If you manage to predict a Fighting move, you just switch to Tapu Lele. If you predict a Fire move, you just switch to Garchomp

Even if adamant Garchomp outspeeds everything in the Tree, bar Cynthia's Scarf Jolly Garchomp who'll be locked into Fire Fang anyway thanks to Kartana, so who cares. Rock Slide is for Talonflame and Volcarona, Iron Head is a last resort against Fairies and Ice types in the very worst case scenario

Tapu Lele guarantees an OHKO thanks to either boosted Psychic or Twinkle Tackle. Shadow Ball for Ghost, and HP Fire as last resort for steel types

>>31663119
It actually helped me a few times, curing a burn on my Bulu. But yeah, for doubles i'd wait for Liquid Voice + Hyper Voice. I was talking about singles.

>>31663138
I'd still choose scald as my main water attack any day t b h. worked for greninja in XY/ORAS maison and it work for primarina. That attack nerf has saved me too many times

you think I can reach 50 in doubles with
mega alakazam,choice spec lele,scarf staraptor, z starmie ?

who is a good npc for multis?
I've got this green hair boy with mega altaria and cynthia.

>>31663461
3 Psychic types are pretty redundant dude. Also two choice items seem really risky

hi guys, opinions/suggestions for my team? I have to take on doubles for the 50 victories stamp and I'm not used to doubles, so my ideas are probably shit

Pelipper @Damp Rock
Modest
Drizzle
252 HP, 252 SpA, 4 Spe
-Hydro Pump
-Hurricane
-Protect
-Roost/Tailwind/Mist (which one is better?)


Tapu Koko @Terrain Extender (is it good? should I pick something else?)
Timid
Electric Surge
252 Spa, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Thunder
-Volt Switch
-Dazzling Gleam
-Nature's Maddness

Salamente @Salamencite
Jolly
Intimidate
252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 HP
-Dragon Claw
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Double-Edge
Should I go for a Special set with Hyper voice? Maybe a mixed one with Fire Blast to take care of ice types?

aaaand I have yet to choose a 4th member. Maybe Garchomp? Mudsdale?
Any critiscism is welcome

>>31664678
Ditch Damp Rock and Terrain Extender. You'll never get past 5 turns with the leading pokemon, either because they were killed, because you've won the battle, or because you've switched them out. Give Pelliper Leftovers and Koko Life Orb.

Change either Volt Switch or Thunder with Discharge. Obviously make sure that Pelliper has used Protect when you use it. Change Nature's Madness with HP Ground, Electric pokemon could be an issue. The fourth move slot for Pelipper could be either Roost or U-Turn. Tailwind might be useful but honestly both Tapu and Salamence are pretty fast, doesn't seem that necessary. Mist is a really dumb move. Finally consider Scald over Hydro Pump, missing even once can cost you the whole battle

Salamence is okay, pretty standard. If you fear Ice types you can use Fire Blast over DDance but it's generally fine as it is.

As for the fourth pokemon I'm not sure, the best way would try out the team a few times, see what pokemon counter it, and add someone that can adapt accordingly. I'm thinking Scizor or Kartana might be good, especially if they manage to stay in the rain, but it's hard to say

>almost had my 40 streak broken by a double team meganium

>>31665576
thank you for the input, kind Anon. For the fourth slot I might try breeding a scizor, since I just transferred a sport ball scyther from HGSS

A Bastiodon just used Wide Guard 4 times in a row successfully when the only feasible move I had was EQ.

>>31666331
Wide Guard and its variants will work 100% if used consecutively since 6th gen

>>31666358
Is this real life? I thought successive attempts at Wide Guard, Protect, etc. had a 50% increase chance to fail.

>>31655428

Not that guy but 252 HP is investment for a lot of AV users. Primarina only runs 252 HP with an AV, it's all about bulky attacking.

>>31655472

I can say as a battler who leads with Primarina 100% of the time, I see a lot of Ice types that are easy NOw. But I'll also see the most annoying pokemon for my team down to the item like a physically bulky Rocky Helmet Grass Type with Synthesis and Play Rough coverage (looking at you Tsareena). It's physical so Primarina can't bulk its Grass moves, Kommo-o can't KO, takes Rocky Helmet damage and gets fucked by Play Rough, and Megagross loses its health with every physical contact attack used while Tsareena heals off all the damage just like the barbecue sauce bitch she is.

>>31666402
Wide Guard and Quick Guard got changed that way in 6th gen. Protect, etc. are still the same.

>>31666449

@ Weakness Policy

King's Shield
Flash Cannon
Shadow Ball
Shadow Sneak

Rotom-W @ Choice Specs

-Hydro Pump

Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
-Softboiled
-Toxic
-Seismic Toss
-Aromatherapy

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Fire Punch
-Extremespeed

It's a fun set. Lead with Rotom, outspeed almost everything and volt switch out to whoever, trick is really funny as sometimes it just completely fucks one of their mons that would otherwise stonewall you
Chansey tends to get rid of whoever might be a problem for dragonite, also scouts really well as without item fuckery very few things i've encountered can OHKO it outside of a very strong physical fighting attack

Dragonites use should be pretty obvious, great at cleaning up with extremespeed/outrage

Fairies have almost fucked me more than a couple times though while being locked into outrage, I'm thinking of dumping outrage for something else (fly+flynium z?)
Weakness Policy was fun at one point, but even with Multiscale taking an ice-type attack to the face is not fun. If you happen to get critted, you can still just die even at full hp (lots of 'mons run around to break multiscale with fake-out, too)

I wish I knew how the game randomizes pokes the other NPCs use, it really feels like the game tries to make a team to hard-counter Dragonite sometimes and Chansey just stalls almost all of the pokes out with Toxic

Totally agree, I did a battle with every different theme and the only other one I even remotely liked was the Gladion theme

I'm up to battle 50 of super doubles (which I got there easily with the QR team posted in this thread consisting of Koko, A-Raichu, M-Salamence and Kartana, which I definitely vouch for) but I wanna use my singles team so I actually have the ribbons on some of my mons, so I'm wondering who would be a good 4th along with A-Ninetales, Garchomp and Kartana? The only thing that Blue can pull on me that I'm worried about is Aerodactyl, what are the chances he'I'll lead with it (or even have it) and fuck me over?

some sets are clearly meant exclusively for singles or doubles so they fall hilariously flat in the format they're not supposed to be in

>>31623033
>252 attack on Aegislash when the only physical attack it knows is shadow sneak

why

Toxapex, Gliscor, Blissey is unbeatable.

I repeat, UNBEATABLE.

I'm at 70 wins so far and nothing has even remotely troubled me apart from a Mamoswine which I got around by switching between Gliscor and Toxapex until it ran out of Earthquake PP.


Gliscor, Toxapex is just a great combination in general because they cover their weaknesses besides special psychics which is what I have Blissey for.

there's that one QR team that got at least two people in this thread to 50 in super doubles at least

Was breeding chimchar when I remembered I had an infernape from OR with Flare Blitz and Match Punch instead of Blaze kick and thunder punch, so I used that with a Life orb
Only time I was in a corner was against Amoonguss who killed gastrodon but walled it with Celesteela until it run out of Giga drain and Spore PP

Lead is Mence and Infernape, like 90% of the time the play is Fake out and DD with salamence, fake out possible Trick room setters too, pretty esasy to use, gastrodon and Celesteela are the walls, also switch to Celesteela if you want to EQ

How does a Charizard get a Belly Drum against Tapu Koko of all things and then outspeed you after that? How many times did you fuck up during that match?

I finally broke 40 in Super Doubles but lost at 43 because I didn't have a priority move.

>>31681400
Was just double checking EV training and their EVs and I still got some work left to do with them.
Also no thanks, I'd rather go through with my own teams.

>>31681450
I had Celesteela as my first out so I had to switch.
Forgot where exactly I fucked up but once was really all it needed.

>>31681493
>I had Celesteela as my first out so I had to switch
Celesteela is a bad lead. You should always lead with a very strong offensive Pokemon (M-Kangaskhan, M-Salamence, Dragonite, Tapu Koko etc.) and have the bulkier ones waiting in the back. Also, your Tapu Koko should have been faster than the Charizard so I still don't understand how you lost to it. If you haven't fully EV trained your Pokemon then don't even bother trying to get past 10 victories in the Tree.

I forgot, after you lose do you still get the option to Save the video? I ask because I'm at 60 with a team and want to prove it when I lose

>>31681750
Yes

>>31621392
Will I get the Charizardite Y/X if I win at Multi?

Anyone have recommendations for bulky phazers?

Neat. I ended up making it farther than I expected (38 matches). Lurantis actually packs quite a punch with that Solar Blade and even managed to somehow tank a hit from a Sunny Day boosted Flamethrower. Sadly the game kept throwing Rock and Fire types at my team and our luck eventually ran out.

>>31682641
You'll get it just by going to the tree. Bring reasonably strong Pokemon.

Charizard, a flying type pokemon that Tapu Koko outspeeds, halves its own health and gives you a free turn. You don;t kill it.

>Gets swept by a Megamence in the mid 70s

So how do I deal with it? I feel like I should have a check/counter for it from now on because the fucker traumatized me by sweeping my team

>>31685365
Scarf Adamant Garchomp. It may sound stupid not using a Jolly one but it still outspeeds literally every set in the tree except

-A couple scarfed mon it still wouldn't outspeed even if Jolly
-Adamant Terrakion
-Jolly Garchomp

Meanwhile Adamant can OHKO stuff like bulky dragons, such as, you guessed it, MegaMence

did you try running ingrain for stuff like that?

Can I change the team of a trainer I already scouted by scouting them again?

I want to take on Doubles in Battle Tree to earn my next stamp but I never played double battles beyond the handful of matches in game. What are some general do's and don'ts of doubles battles and what shenanigans should I suspect from the AI.

>>31691793

It's easier until 40, at which point the game starts reading your moves probably

So I finally managed to get my old bros on sun and I jumped straight on the tree. I'm trying the super singles with m-alakazam, bewear and turtonator.
95% of the times alakazam kills everything, and the others intervene rarely, and thus far it's going a-ok, but I think there is room for improvement. The one I'm more doubtful about is turtonator (white herb set with overheat, draco meteor, flash cannon, focus blast).
Any suggestion?

Is it wrong if I beat the game, inject a team for the battle tree and then use it for all the post game stuff that happens?

>>31693920
How do you get your Infernape to hit hard enough? I have that exact set and it feels like he's not powerful enough

>>31693920
>>31697456

Holy fuck I FINALLY cleared super singles in the battle tree.

I know I could have did it much easier even before bank, by using specific combos of pokemon and movesets, but no fuck that. I was determined to use my favorites, my BROS.

Used the following 3 to take down rounds 1-39

Dragonite (without multiscale, caught in leaf green) holing draconium z
Primarina holding assault vest
Mega Charizard Y (special attacker)

Then these 3 for rounds 40-49

Primarina
Mega Charizard Y
Alolan Ninetales holding focus sash

And then for the battle against Red

Mega Charlizard Y
Primarina
Blaziken holding Focus Sash (this blaziken has been with me since the original sapphire version, and is my ribbon whore.)

The battle with Red ended with my Blaziken VS his Mega Charizard X, which was weakened but already had got off 2 dragon dance. if not for the focus sash, it would have destroyed my Blaziken, who then retaliated with BRAVEST BIRD, resulting in a double KO and granting me the victory.

That Blaziken is my most beloved pokemon, and it could not have ended any better than it did.

>do everything right
>still lose
There's nothing this demoralizing, sand veil makes me miss 2 fucking times in a row and the opponent gets two ghost focus sashes on the last turn. Fuck this, why am I still wasting my time on this? 50+ streak fucking broken.

>>31697456
>>31697485
Infernape was basically revenge killer, clean up killer that was used against any Ice or Steel, Because basically Mimikyu and Chomp could take atleast 2 pokes down by themselves

However I actually lost the streak quickly after the red win, lost to a trick room team of mega Slowbro, brightpowder Gothitelle, and Fridge Rotom

As for Mach Punch on ape, EQ was just a test to see how far it would get me, right now its a toss up between mach punch, Stone Edge, Rock Slide or Shadow Claw. for the 3rd slot. Acrobatics is also being considered but not so much. I guess I've always done Coverage>STAB with pokes but we'll see

Suprised you didnt comment about Rockium Z, I think Continental Crush on Chomp is HUGELY helpful in dealing with bulky ice types

>>31698852
I thought of Rockium Z as a guaranteed rock hit so that you won't get fucked by RNG

>tfw just lost at 39 super singles to a focus sash weavile
the taunt did my aegislash in.

i just scouted Grimsley

He used Scrafty then M-Tyranitar and then Honchkrow
But i got Scrafty and Honch
Why didn't i get his M-Tyranitar?

I just fought wally in super singles. Isn't he supposed to have unique music? He had the same theme as everyone else.

>>31700443
Trainer specific themes play only if you choose the music as default.

NEW THREAD WHEN

>>31700228
It happened to me too, I gather that when you scout you get the first two pokemon on a trainer's team, but when you actually face the trainer he/she may send out his third pokemon as second
So basically Grimsley's pokemon were, in order, Scrafty, Honchkrow and M-Tyranitar, but once you defeated the Scrafty the AI decided to send out Tyranitar

Which dragon would be best alongside standard mimikyu in super singles? The way I look at it, salamence hits hard and has some bulk via intimidate, but can't hit bulky steel types with ground immunity. Dragonite has bulk via multiscale and can potentially ohko bulky steel/grass types via inferno overdrive, but can't hit as hard besides that. Charizard x has fire stab, but is the most frail of the bunch.

If you see a Bronzong stall as much as possible by switching/using not super effective moves. When the Trick Room is about to end, kill it. The Bronzong set in the Tree is shit offensively so by itself it is hardly a threat
