Damn it I was so close in making the new thread.
Oh well, I'm on to breeding my last mon right now, even if I won't get much testing done due to leveling and getting movesets on there I won't mind much.
What game do you think would be better for leveling straight to 50 in the quickest time for 6 mons, X&Y or ORAS?

>>25650525
Oras if you have a blissey base.

I was mostly thinking XY for constant flow of battles instead of the once a day blissy farming even if you can get what, 6 blissy trainers?
Though I'm not really rushed by time to be honest.

>>25650616
It only takes 2 battles to get to 50 on most mons iirc

>>25650616
lucky egg + xp o-power is usually enough for me to get just about anything to level 50 in one battle

I.. I haven't done much besides beat this game and get all needed to do new endgame content besides leveling.

>>25650839
Don't worry senpai, lucky eggs are very easy to get. Use dexnav, and Pellipers will have them as items if i recall correctly. Bring a thief mon and bobs your uncle

>>25650896
I know that much since a friend pointed it out to me but I've been so lazy/haven't grinded more than one poke at a time that I've neglected to grab more.

It's normally pretty unlikely to be the sole user of a type for these. We had 6 people use fighting type one season.

Ground Guy here. Just wanted to say that every person Ive played in this thread so far has used a goddamn FEAR lead (Which the best pokemon in the game, Rhyperior, and his Rock Black has had NO patience for. This tournament is going to be literally retarded like the best pokemon in the game, Stunfisk, if you all open with one. Be advised.

I love bug types, they're my favorite, so count me in as a bug-typefag

I know I'd get absolutely assblasted by rocks, but I still want to have a battle with Rock Man because rocks are the best

>>25653908
I don't recall ever seeing a FEAR user in the tournament

>>25653914
Ground Guy here. I would but it is obviously a flawed strategy since much like the best pokemon in the game, Wormadon (Sandy Cloak), there are no Ground or Rock priority moves to be found. And as EVERYBODY KNOWS those are the best types.

>>25653908
I was just messin, if you'd like to face me in a more serious manner I'd be down for it ground guy.

>>25653884

its alright, lets have fun

I just threw together whatever type I actually had 6 of in my box

>>25653987
Ground Guy here. Dont get me wrong bro. Much like the best pokemon in the game, Garchomp, FEAR is totally legit. I just thought it would get really old if everyone didnt know so many other people were using them and half of the matches started with FEAR vs FEAR.

You'll learn sometime what those numbers and letters mean.
It's pretty Tiny.

I want some advice. I already submitted my team but I know I can change it before next week, so I was wondering if I should replace one of my pokemon with a Smeargle. I was considering it at first but I just don't think Smeargle is good for 3v3 flats. I'm basically losing a slot for boosting tactics that might not even work. But Normal types can be finicky to use without setups.

>>25654394
Relying on setup can be pretty risky, I prefer to have a bunch of pokemon that can do plenty well on their own. If i do have something on my team with supporting moves, i make sure it also has an offensive presence and utility beyond setup, just to provide flexibility and backup strats.

What Zapdos sets are actually going to help the electric mono?
HP Ice?

>>25658226
probably an anti-stall set, since electric type lacks those

roost / roar / tbolt / HP ice maybe

Reminder to read the rules in the OP about what mons are and aren't allowed. http://pastebin.com/5m8wc2a6

FLAT RULES. This automatically excludes most legendaries and duplicate items. If you need or want to make a change to your team before the deadline (the 27th) do so by emailing me, or simply resubmitting just your team form. Every detail MUST be provided.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kWXk7WM2JHMv8ff03ytQYlhvvOnAg8BsxJDnWDpSXmE/viewform

No extra changes are being for megas this season. We'll see if there are any particular issues this season with some of the suspect megas.

>>25658574
In the forms I only put the pokemons item and moves with it's name, that will be fine yes?

>>25658611
Yep, that's all I need.

Right, I've got a plan for the team, 5 pokemon to breed for IVs, EV train and level up to 50, and one week to do it in.

Let's do this.

>>25659053
It's taken me about 3-4 days and I've gotten breeding and ev training done already playing casually in the day.
I'm sure you'll get it done friend.

Reposting question

How can my monotype bug team deal with talonflame?

I think Crustle is the best I can do, because it is the only bug type that can survive 3 attacks (besides shuckle).

I'm thinking sitrus berry so that maybe I might be able to survive 3 attacks? Or rocky helmet so that the recoil/helmet damage might bring it down below 50, so that stealth rocks can finish it off.

>>25661214
honestly, talonflame is a huge issue for bugs and fighting teams.

Crustle is a good option on a bug team in general due to sturdy and smashing, so it could help. And a bug team shouldn't go without a focus sasher as well. It sucks that you pretty much have to sack a mon against the bird but it's .. do-able.

>>25661214
Whatever your standard prep is for fast fire/flying types should work as normal for talonflame, it's priority isn't making it special really. Scarf staraptor for example will do the exact same thing to your team and require the same prep ( With the exception that pinsir can quick attack it I guess? But at that point things already going to net 1-2 KO's )

>>25661274

Yeah it sucks because unless the talonflame user is stupid, they'll just switch out against the obvious crustle and then you're forced to sack another pokemon until you've basically killed enough of their team that they don't have anyone else to safely switch into.

Do most talonflames run max attack/adamant/choice band? That's the kind of power I'm preparing for, but if there are jolly talonflames with sharp beak or life orb or something, it gives me some leeway to work with. Might even be able to use armaldo over crustle

>>25661308

I would normally have yanmega with speed boost, scizor with bullet punch, and mega pinsir to deal with those situations. Talonflame shits on all of those. It's why I've said before, I'd rather deal with a ho-oh, heatran, lugia, etc before I'd deal with a talonflame

>>25661317
Talon runs everything from bulk to ada band. Though I believe most talons in tourney are banded

>>25659995

Guys

I AM ROCK MAN

MASTER OF ROCKS

ROCKS ARE THE BEST

IS ANYBODY FREE TO BATTLE ON CART? I DO NOT FEEL LIKE BOOTING UP MY LAPTOP AND USING SHOWDOWN

FUCKING FIGHT ME

THE FRIEND CODE OF THE 3DS THAT I AM USING IS 0061-1123-8361

>>25663683
I'll go a round with you

>>25663708
PERFECT

WHAT IS YOUR FRIEND CODE?

I DO NOT KNOW IF I ALREADY HAVE YOU ADDED OR NOT, SINCE THIS IS MY FRIEND'S 3DS/GAME

ROCKS ARE THE BEST

>>25663738
1349-5766-8487

>>25663778
VERY WELL, I WILL CHALLENGE YOU

GOOD LUCK AND MAY THE BEST ROCKS WIN

THEY'RE THE BEST, AFTER ALL

>>25663778
I APOLOGIZE

YOUR METHODS ARE RUDE AND I DO NOT WISH TO FIGHT YOU

I WILL LOCATE A WAY TO DEFEAT YOUR FEAR POKEMON

AND THEN I WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO A REMATCH

ROCKS ARE THE BEST, KEEP THAT IN MIND FOR NEXT TIME

>>25663899
You already have both SR and tyranitar.

>>25663911
OH YES, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

I WAS NOT USING TYRANITAR IN FEAR OF ITS 4X WEAKNESS

HOWEVER, THAT IS A GOOD POINT

WOULD YOU CARE FOR A REMATCH?

I WILL NOT LOSE THIS TIME

BECAUSE ROCKS ARE THE BEST

>>25663939
Sure ROCK MAN

I CANNOT DEFEAT A MERE GIMMICK TEAM

THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR MY CHANCES IN THE TOURNAMENT

MAYBE I SHOULD DROP OUT

DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND, ROCKS ARE STILL THE BEST

IT IS MERELY ME WHO IS THE WEAK ONE

MAYBE I SHOULD LET BOB DO THIS, I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WITH BATTLING

HOW DOES ONE DROP OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT?

>>25664096
>rock man being washed away so quickly
you are no rock man

you are mud man

>>25664144
>MUD MAN

MUD IS GROUND, ANON

ROCKS ARE TOUGHER THAN GROUND, THEY CANNOT BE WASHED AWAY SO EASILY

HOWEVER, I AM AWARE OF MY OWN LIMITATIONS

IF I CANNOT DEFEAT A LOWLY GIMMICK TEAM WITH THE BEST TYPE, THEN HOW CAN I EXPECT TO DO ANY BETTER AGAINST NORMAL TEAMS?

ROCKS MAY BE THE BEST, BUT THE STRENGTH OF THE ONE WHO WIELDS THEM MUST BE HIGH AS WELL

I AM NOT YET READY TO BATTLE DUE TO MY OWN PERSONAL LIMITATIONS, I HAVE LEARNED THAT FROM THE BATTLES THAT I JUST HAD

AS SOON AS I AM ABLE, I WILL RETURN MY FRIEND'S 3DS AND HOPEFULLY HE CAN DO BETTER THAN ME

ROCKS ARE THE BEST

I AM ROCK MAN

>>25664216
I hope you continue your training and decide to enter instead of accepting defeat at the hands of a meme team

>>25664216
I mean it was also rock vs fighting man, remember that you're not going to run into an advantagedd match-up like that very often in the tourney.

>>25664289
YOUR LOGIC IS FLAWED, MUCH LIKE NON-ROCK TYPES

YOU USED BUT ONE FIGHTING TYPE MOVE AGAINST ME IN THE SECOND MATCH

THAT DOES NOT MEAN GOOD THINGS FOR ME IF YOU CAN DEFEAT ME IN THE FIRST ROUND WITHOUT USING A SINGLE FIGHTING-TYPE MOVE

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT OTHER TEAMS WHO RUN SIMILAR STRATEGIES IF I CANNOT DEFEAT YOURS?

>>25664232
>>25664229
I WILL CONSIDER NOT QUITTING

MAYBE I WILL MEDITATE ON A ROCK AND THINK ABOUT IT

DO NOT GIVE UP SO EASILY ROCK MAN!

I ENTERED THIS TOURNAMENT AS A MERE SPOON MYSELF A LONG TIME AGO. I FOUGHT WITH THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND CAME UP SHORT TIME AND TIME AGAIN!

BUT AFTER MANY ROUNDS OF EXTRAORDINARY WINS AND CRIPPLING DEFEATS, I MANAGED TO SURPASS EVEN THE FURY OF POWERFUL DRAGONS TO BECOME THE BEST OF THE MONOTYPES LAST SEASON!

IF IT IS IN YOUR SOUL TO BE THE BEST, AS ROCKS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY REFERRED TO, THEN YOU SHALL INDEED BE THE BEST - SO LONG AS YOU ACCEPT THE HARDSHIPS THAT PATH DEMANDS!

IF YOU ARE STILL AVAILABLE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE OUR BATTLE AT LONG LAST! I WILL GET ON CARTRIDGE WHEN I SEE A RESPONSE HAS BEEN MADE!

>>25664509
I"ve seen one fear set in tourney once in six seasons. Don't be discouraged by that.

>>25664509
it's worth mentioning that during the tournament, callum will try and pair up neutral types as best as he can, like rock vs electric and fire vs dark, instead of ones favouring one type over the other.

Hey, I was thinking of making an adjustment to my team and was wondering if Regigigas is banned, I'm thinking of freeing a slot for him but I noticed he isn't on the safe legendaries list despite him usually being classed as one.

Just want to make sure that isn't an oversight is all.

>>25665132
Not sure, seems like one that could work. Honestly though, from facing your team before, I would highly recommend a flying type. You're likely to see fighting types during the tourney, and having a bird could help a lot. Lots to choose from.

use fear rattata

>>25665195
Yeah, It may have to come down to that. It's just most normal types are frail as hell, and gigas has a good amount of bulk to it, but yeah, flying type seems good to me

>>25665228
I know you gotta play to win, but I don't wanna do that

>>25664894

I WILL STAY IN THE TOURNAMENT FOR THE TIME BEING

Hey Rock guy, when are you gonna use Bonsly? It's Rock type, the best type!

Eg. Ground vs Electric,

You could use a faster priority move to defeat the gimmick, or set up a hazard to break the sash/sturdy. Also fear does exist within rock types, and its name is Aron. Also use Choice Banded Relicanth to counter Scizor, that's your real big threat.

>>25665515
Why would you use thiss when you can use the superior rock polish weakness policy set

>>25665567
Because Scizor and M-Scizor are a huge hard counter to Rock mono, a Banded set deals a huge amount of damage to it while taking neutral damage from its STAB and Relicanth's bulk make it able to 1v1 Scizor easily. It's not about sweeping with Grandpa fish, it's about being prepared for your biggest checks.

>>25665515
I AM USING A RHYPERIOR FOR THAT

IT ONLY TAKES NEUTRAL DAMAGE FROM STEEL TYPE MOVES AND HITS NICE AND HARD

IT ALSO HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH DEFENSE TO BULK OUT ONE OR TWO SD-BOOSTED BULLET PUNCHES

252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magcargo: 73-87 (58.4 - 69.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

and thats with 0 bulk

0 SpA Magcargo Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Scizor: 204-244 (115.2 - 137.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Recording a video on the Vs recorder is easy enough, but I don't have a 3ds capture device. What would I do to move it over to the computer to "report" it with the results?

For people that are worried times for battles, the round will get posted once the deadline comes up which will include all of the matchups.

Everyone will be given two games to complete in the first week. All details to contact your opponent to set up your battles will be included in the matchups, so after a few emails or posts in thread, you actually spend very little time waiting for your battle assuming you're organised.

MEGA SAPLEYE FEARS ARE REAL ALREADY.
I don't know why I already fear seeing his mug pop up but I really do.
Same with 3 flying users and 2 fire users, Talonflame is another scary thought lategame sweeper/annoyance. But that's just me.

>>25687965
I'm probably going to go grass and this worries me

>>25687965
Definitely valid concerns. Sableye is brutal and picking the wrong mons into talonflame can end a battle really quickly.

>>25687903
???

>>25687982
You've got a few options for talonflame, not sure about grass and sableye though.

>>25687998
there's like... moonblast from whimsicott and not much else

>>25688010
Sub CM Virizion

>>25688010
Leech seed, toxic stall, assuming it's not the mega variety.
Pretty difficult though

>>25688023
the mega variety is the problem

>>25688020
>not SD lum virizion

>>25688074
True.

You can never build a mono team to cover absolutely everything

>>25687986
Well the worry in talonflame isn't very much but what worrys me the most about the mon is the bs save it for later when things are weak so you have no chance to retaliate against it strats it has.
Which I know is a great thing to have especially in this format of not many meat shields to sac last second just to make it kill itself on recoil.
Needless to say it's not like I don't have mons that can take it (Running water types so one of it's stabs are useless already, and the other flying type can be walled by various types like electric and steel) but it's just that part I already stated, it can take a match of well thought out strats into a click button and win kind of game.
>>25688023
>Leech seed, toxic stall, assuming it's not the mega variety.

Exactly as the image title describes. They were the winners for each type for the second tournament that was held.

Normally a gym leader challenge follows the tourneys, but with ORAS being as quiet, they didn't work that successfully. We got a few great seasons out of it though. It will likely be back preceding the Sun/Moon tournament.

It's so weird seeing the regular colored meowstic. I was spoiled and was able to get a shiny cat from about 10-12 eggs

>>25691248
IT might sound dorky but I hope to be part of the top people in the tourny.

>>25692326
How does the Gym Leader Challenge work?

>>25693270
Basically you enter with a locked team of 6 to go against the 8 gym leaders. If you beat a specific gym in less than 3 tries, you get their "badge" and grow closer to becoming/fighting the champion. If you lose to a gym 3 times, however, you have to start your challenge over completely.
Once all 8 badges are collected, if there's no champion, you become the current champion. If there IS a champion, you fight the champion, and like the gyms, must defeat them in less than 3 tries. If you lose 3 times to the same champion, you start completely over with no badges.
This is basically a way for the gym leaders to test their monotypes against non-monotype teams, as well as non-monotype teams getting a chance into the hall of fame.
Some of the hall of famers had very powerful OU teams specifically for sweeping the monotypes to become the king of the hill - where some would try to make a unique Champion entry (IE: Ryan getting the first Gligar into a champion team, Someone from season 1 {I think Actias?} getting the first mono team, some handsome devil whom I can't remember getting the first Honchkrow with Drill Peck...)

Basically, it's an extended challenge after the mono tournament. It was what I started with in this group in season 2, and what I personally believe is my favorite part (since a shitty work schedule into ded hours free time made me a shitty gym leader, and making a team to combat the 8 different types was a fun challenge).

>>25693900
Oh man, that's awesome.

I'm doubly excited to take part in the tournament now. Just gotta make it in time!

But don't take my word for it. Still not a crazy good idea with noscarf.

>>25694066
unfortunately I don't think the gym leader challenge will happen this time. The last time we had one of these tournaments, we tried doing a gym leader challenge, but there was basically zero interest for it after about a week. So it sounds like we're not even going to bother this time

More than likely.

I just used it as a physical wall. I used it often too, so it wasn't just carried by other shit. The leaders teams from what I recall were very physical, or weak to ground, so gligar was a decent fit.

I also managed to get a dark mono to the champ spot, which was more difficult.

Does anyone have a storm drain recover lileep or a contrary glare snivy?
