The battle tree is garbage.
Send out hydreigon.
Opponent sends out lapras.
Switch to scizor lapras used rain dance, lapras used thunder scizor is fully paralyzed, confuse ray, scizor hurt itself in confusion, switch to hydreigon, Lapras used thunder Hydreigon is fully paralyzed, lapras used ice shard, hydreigon is fully paralyzed, switch to Gyrados lapras used thunder, Gyrados fainted. Switch to scizor, Lapras used thunder, Scizor is fully paralyzed. Lapras used ice shard. You lose.
How are you supposed to get 50 wins with shit like this?
>>30509500
Hydreigon Base Speed 98
Lapras Base Speed 60
Why did you even switch? AI tends to have set ups in this game (like that Rain Dance) and your Hydreigon survived the Ice Shard anyway.

>The battle tree is garbage
>I misplayed and that resulted in a loss
There have been situations where I made a risky play and got fucked viciously by RNG in response. The solution? Bring UBS and fuck the enemy up before they can respond.

Immediately kill with all out pummelling, or U-turn out if you're countered by their lead. now that you're at +1 attack, kill the next thing, and then the last thing. If you get killed somehow, or U-turn out, go into a pelipper with drizzle, then u-turn that out into a Xurkitree to fire off thunders.

>I leave a specially offensive dragon type on a specially defensive ice type.
If you call making a good switch then getting paralyzed for 5 fucking turns in a row a misplay on my part you're retarded.
The meta needs a hero.

but who?

While M-Mawile could be a good Tapu killer, I think it could use some help...
>>30509610
If only VGC didn't ban megas and forced Z-Memes on us.
Smogon save us
I like Scizor as a Tapu killer myself.
Everyone is disappointed at the static team compositions we have seen from the first 2 premier challenge events. Do you think the meta will change and introduce more diversity, or will it remain the same for months to come? Discuss.
Current Showdown meta
Have you accepted GACK as your new team core?
>Do you think the meta will change and introduce more diversity,
No fucking shit the meta will change
Every damn meta of every damn single thing in this fucking world changes and evolves
Smogon Singles evolves as time goes, VGC10/11/12/13/14/15 and even fucking 16 metas evolved and changed as time passed. Why would 17 be an exception?

Completed the pokedex,
Now im gonna shiny hunt for a beldum, got the shiny charm if I do SOS stuff do I have a 1/256 chance of getting a shiny with the shiny charm?
Do it via Masuda Method so you don't accidently lose it if you find it in the wild. Just catch a normal one in a premier ball and breed from there if you plan on doing shiny balltism.
>>30509399
>in a premier ball
I think you mean Beast Ball.
>>30509534
What are the odds of getting a shiny that way?
do you still remember her? do you still play her game?
who?
You mean the Loremaster? Yeah, I remember her

I thought this was just a stupid picture, but then I opened it up and saw the corphish looking sad and then I felt sad.
>crabrawler will never get another evolution
Disappointing evolutions thread.
The fact this thing doesn't get an evolution is just down right dissapointing

Is there a worse dual-type than this?

That, Minior, and the fact that Mimikyu has no friendship evolution is just sad.
I've got a little over a box of Bold Regenerator Mareanies with 4 Egg Moves all with 4-5 perfect IVs.
Post In-Game Name, Pokemon with lvl and Gender, and your trade message in this thread if you want one.
If anyone's feeling generous I'm looking for a HA A-Vulpix with Freeze Dry/Moonblast and a Phantump with Curse. IV's don't matter.

Allegedly, people are getting bans for trades that involve hacked pokemon in Sun and Moon. Thoughts on this?

Also, verlisify made a video celebrating it and I know how much we all love verlisify :^)

>>30508762
why do youtubers always yell in their video titles?
>>30508762
Heh. They've had the ability to do this since XY if not earlier.
But it's a shame, hacking in humorous or clever joke pokemon for mass WT was one of the fun things to do in Gen 6.
>Hack in boxes of HA shiny Ho-ohs that were bank-legal
>GTS them to fill my pokedex
>>30508806
a form of clickbait, I guess?
Ignore the low quality pic
I have a few boxes of breedject Marills. It took way longer than it should have to get a 6IV.
These cuties have the egg moves belly drum and aqua jet, and majority have the huge power ability. All are caught in permier balls.
I'll take anything on the GTS, but I really would appreciate some island scan pokemon, especially Johto Starters.
