As it stands there's DBenben as the closest thing to Trevenant, so she'd likely be a good start. Only two weakness and a fuckton of resists in both games. However I'm worried about some of her stats not making the cut and I don't like Benben.
So there'd be some problems running this.

Are you guys seriously going to keep this going instead of talking puppets?

Anyway, what's the best way to make a flawless IV puppet, but leave the smallest bonus to their Focus Attack? That's assuming I don't already have one with those stats ready to help reincarnate, of course.
>>
>>25700606
>and almost fucked Gensokyo because she was a poor loser.
You know if you're gonna hate her then you should at least hate her for the right reasons.

She didn't try to blow up the barrier because she was a sore loser, but because she was scared out of her wits. She was trying to run away and actively distance herself from all that happened, and then all of a sudden Reimu shows up and pretty much "you're not leaving, bitch, you're coming with me". Sumi then pretty much lost it and went full on "if i'm going to die, then i'm taking the barrier down with me"

Funnily enough, if Reimu hadn't been an idiot and actually explained WHY she wanted Sumireko to come with her, then they could have avoided the barrier almost getting destroyed. But I guess that doesn't make for good drama.

Reincarnate randomly until you find one that has an E- to FoATK, then start using that paired up with an all S puppet until the end result has more S-ranks and still has the E-. Repeat until it's all S-ranks except for the E- FoATK

Repeat again with another puppet.

Enjoy your reduced FoATK for dealing with the game's Foul Play equivalent.
>>
>>25700914
>if i'm going to die, then i'm taking the barrier down with me"

Exactly what poor loser means. The only people not to drop the whole incident thing after losing badly are her and Seija and both go against the few things that keeep gensokyo aroundand other fighting game bosses, but that really would depend on which routes are actually canon.
>>
>>25700914
I finally realize why i dislike Sumireko, she makes gensokyo look even more jerkass, instead of just explaining to her that the way she entered messes up the barrier (and she honestly didn't have idea), they scared the shit outta her to the point she almost suicide bomb gensokyo out of panic.

Dude, she wasn't going to do it because her plan failed. She was going to do it because, after getting beat up after getting to Gensokyo, getting beat up after deciding to leave and then getting beat up on the way out, Reimu wanted to fish her back in to beat her up some more (or so Sumi assumed). She was scared, man.

Although, to be 100% fair to Reimu here, it was either this, or let Kasen and Mamizou continue with their fuck-stupid plan which would have resulted in Sumireko getting scared again, activating the Lunar Capital occult ball again, and this time destroying the barrier without issue. Also Sumireko is a bit of a drama queen, so even if Reimu decided to explain what was going on, she may have not agreed to go back to Gensokyo (meaning the end result would have been the same).

>>25702091
Gensokyo has always been a jerkass place, though. Why, you're actively encouraged to beat up fairies if you get the chance.

So, serious talk. VoltTurn is absurdly widespread in TPDP and I'm not sure why I don't see it mentioned more in these threads. Both Volt Switch and U-Turn are absurdly potent in almost all Pokemon metas (even VGC Doubles to an extent) and are balanced by their limited distribution. Typically, only Flying-types and Bug-types get significant access to U-turn, with a smattering of Electric-types getting access to Volt Switch. None of these three types are particularly dominating.

Even so, when U-turn was first introduced to Pokemon in Gen IV it was a massive buff to the long-suffering Bug-types for its absurd momentum-granting capabilities, and made stuff like Scizor far harder to stop than they had any right to be. Fast-forward two gens, Volt Switch has been introduced and and some shitter called Landorus-T is sitting at the top of OU - 83% of all Landorus-T sets in OU used U-turn in January.

In TPDP, that sense of balance is thrown out the window. By my counts pre-expansion, literally over half of all puppets have access to either Lightning Speed or Changeling - 123/236 styles have one or both (~52%).

And then TPDP gave it to half of the goddamn puppetdex. And changed the typing for U-turn to Dark, a typing which isn't resisted by nearly half of the entire type chart, and can be buffed by weather.

I don't think I've seen this mentioned in these threads, which is a shame, because it's about as much of a gamechanger as - say - giving Defog or Rapid Spin to half of the Pokedex (which TPDP also did). If Smogon had to adapt to that half suddenly gaining the ability to blow away all hazards and do drive-by shootings, I'm pretty sure the entire tiering system would be temporarily scrapped until the dust settled.

And this is all pre-expansion. I'm not accounting for all the new puppets, or the new Warp-type Rapid Spin. Now when will Hemo give everything Geomancy?

(On the other hand, if everyone has it, does it define the meta? Food for thought.)

If you're into rabbits you sick fuck then Udonge and Gyokuto both can put in some serious work. GyokutoS in particular gets very fast, has a hilariously dumb amount of coverage, and gets shit like Strategist Purple Lightning/Shake Gear (hello 150 BP Steel move with no downsides).

GengetsuS is also an even faster and harder-hitting puppet if you want something even more cute and don't mind spending the rest of your life mortified of priority moves and light breezes. She gets way better in the expansion too, even if the last thing she needed was more ways to die instantly with STAB Volt Tackle while massacring everything in sight.

The letter grades are essentially the puppet's IVs. Once you collect enough puppets then you can begin reincarnating puppets (essentially rerolling their IVs and nature from level 1) at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's not important 'till post game though, so keep sealing away!

What are you talking about
>>

Mostly becomes something to take into account. Unlike spin which is only relevant when hazards are used (and given how faster the game is, it pretty much only means both teams will have about 2 puppets with three moves).

Switch moves on the other hand can at best be stopped by earth types, and only half of them, so everyone takes the possibility of them existing into account (fog isn't that frequent of weather, by the way) and I guess you just get used to it.

The interesting part of giving everyone spin is that you aren't forced to run some mons, which funnily enough makes hazards less frequent since there isn't a single big user in the enemy team you're free to knock out then set up sneaky irons freely. The problem is that while spin is a defensive and reactive strategy, switches are an offensive always viable one. Doesn't help their biggest counter are things like traps too, but it should also be noted out version of pursuit is significantly better and nicely distributed too.

I dunno what to say, really something harmful I had never taken into account since there's pretty much no punishment for those moves which I've hated since their introduction, as well as buffing the uglier mon instead of Scyther. But might be the case of if everyone can do it, then it's not as bad.
Also flying was a fucking sick type, switch into earthquakes, almost always has a great secondary typing and SE many important threats.

Weather-inducing abilities are like how they are in Gen 6, and the weathers are generally not as good as they are in Pokemon to begin with (Fog is the only real standout; Aurora is boosting arguably the worst attacking type in the game, Sandstorm lacks the massive amount of things that made it good in Pokemon like Tyranitar existing and a good suite of great Pokemon to take advantage of it, and the others make Pokemon's Hail look good in comparison).

Going all-in on weather is doable if you run RenkoS, but you're using a team slot up on a BST 375 to do so. Doing so means you can much more easily get away with using MaribelP though.

I actually had to look up what it did because it was so irrelevant that I forgot.

Nope. Maybe you could build around it by just setting it up and then spamming drawback moves if those drawbacks are cancelled out?
>>
>>25708616
well balistic correction is a thing. also, i know there is ability that trade add effects for power, but i wonder if calm cancel its boost or not. also, no add effects is nice defensively, meaning that enemyy that likes to use stat boosting attacks will be stuck with low power moves. I think it doesn't cancel out soome other effects like switching out or knocking items off, sadly.
>>
>>25708681
Actually, it doesn't forbid those moves. It only weakens attacks that deal damage and have stuff like 10% chance of inflicting poison or similar. Stat boosting have no secondary effects, they have only a main effect, boost your stats.

Pretty damn good, actually.

Defense Rumia is a tanky Dark-type pivot with STAB Changeling and Healing Power. Power Tokiko arguably outclasses her pre-SoD outside of Rumia's stronger Changeling, but if you're playing with the expansion she's an alternative to the bird that resists Warp instead of being weak to it.

Power Rumia is the hardest-hitting spread attacker in the entire game if she goes for Brutality (which tanks her accuracy), but apart from a slightly above-average Speed her other stats are unsalvageable. Either ditch Brutality and use a Choice Scarf to make her a bit faster, or give her Binoculars to patch up the accuracy issues and use her as a tactical nuke. Dark/Fire is also really good for offensive STAB in TPDP, so there's that.

Extra Rumia is an odd Dark/Warp-type that's terrifying in Fog due to her high focus attack and average Speed combined with good STABs and Fog Traveler, but outside of Fog is sadly a dime-a-dozen bulky, slowish focus attacker with high spread defense - but is hampered by unusably bad Defense, even with investment. Outside of dedicated fog teams she's outclassed, especially since a ton of extra styles fill the same niche way better.

All her styles are completely viable, but RumiaP shines a bit more by being less niche than the others.

The most important thing is type effectiveness.
I think that puppets should maintain their weaknesses and ressitances from tpdp, so grass puppets are weak to steel moves. same way around, for pokemon, so water pokemons aren't weak to miasama.
question is, what does each type corrosponds to?

void = normal?
fire = fire
water= water
nature = grass...
earth = ground/rock? im more for ground since wind immune to it... what do you guys think?
steel=steel the types are vastly different but the concept the same
wind = flying
electric = electric
dark = dark
light = fairy? dragon?
nether = ghost
miasama = poison
figting = fighting
illusion = psychic? dragon?
sound = dragon???
dream = psychic?
warped =???

Normal weather. Maybe the sky is clear but it's windy. Maybe the sun is shining pretty harshly (but not boosting Fire because this isn't Pokemon). Maybe it's raining (and not boosting water). Maybe it's a thunderstorm (ditto). Maybe even it's hail, except puppets don't take damage from hail because puppets are cool like that.

It's not the complete absence of weather at all, a sandstorm, an aurora lighting up the sky, a sandstorm, or a sunshower. It's anything other than those.

Is it better to go for Scizor's Mega Evolution or is the old "slap Choice Band on it" strategy still viable in Gen 6?

Band is still viable. What you want to check is whether he's worth the mega slot in your team or not, usually a regular one who keeps whittling down the enemy team with banded U-turns/bullet punches is more than enough to get the job done and I'd save the mega for soemthing like Megasaur, but that's personal preference.
I don't really like Scizor because Scyther is so much cooler but it had to be made worse.

Also I think you're in the wrong thread.

why is kanako kanako's giving you trouble?
>>
>>25742342
playing the game is the best way to level up, because grinding is boring.
>>
>>25742347
Because my adorable puppets get hurt badly before I reach her, and then they are at Kanako's Kanako's mercy.

Basically I just have no idea what type anything is, so I've just been choosing the cute puppets. It's hard to tell when half the puppets have the same red/white/blonde colour scheme.

Overtake strike ends her quickly. Either way, don't know who in your team has any chance of koing her fast enough except Flan, if she was overleveled. I think the Aki sister might have a chance.

Yeah, I'm starting to realise I can't just power through everything like you can in Pokemon. I may have to rework my team soon.

I do have a lvl 47 Nazrin, so I'll give her a shot.
>>
>>25737240
Actually, I realized I never caught a good Landorus in my copy of AS so I decided to go do that.

It took me over an hour just to PREPARE (catching an Impish Ralts, breeding it until it had Synchronise, getting a Swellow with a speed 1 point below a perfect speed IV level 50 Landorus, stocking up on Repeat Balls)

Then I realized the odds of getting a good Landorus are astronomically small (1/1024 to get pentaflawless, then another 1/6 for the pentaflawless to NOT include SpATK (although a 4 IV could still be keepable), and then a 1/2 chance for the Synchronize to even work) and that

Then I also realized in the time it took for me to PREPARE to SR like no tomorrow I could have reincarnated a puppet to 5 or 6 perfect IVs, EV trained it, and leveled the thing to 70 to unlock the full moveset and have the thing completely ready for competitive puppet battles. And five puppets total would need a push to level 100 for their last move.

Thus concludes my return to playing Pokemon. Off to go reincarnate and level up this Kasen.
>>
>>25742392
>>25742414
Well that was easier than before, Nazrin and her Killing Bite are a godsend

Red outside with a black inside is classy as fuck. Also, Yumemi's just a human college professor without any real magic powers, of course she's going to have a normal cape.

You Sumireko fags are an insult to Renko's family.
>>
>>25747398
She doesn't wear it for attention, she just does it because she just likes to have a bigass cape when she's fighting, that's all.

Plus it goes well with her color scheme, unlike a certain other cape-wearing human 2hu.

>Red outside
We don't know that, her portraits only show the inside and her cape disappears during gameplay so we can't see the outside. Unless you're talking about her capelet (I think that's what it's called), which looks cool but isn't a part of her cape mind you.
>Also, Yumemi's just a human college professor without any real magic powers, of course she's going to have a normal cape.
Where do you live that college professors go around with giant capes? Because that sounds pretty awesome. And no magic powers? But she can fly and shoot regular danmaku without any external aids.

>>25747471
>She doesn't wear it for attention, she just does it because she just likes to have a bigass cape when she's fighting, that's all.
Nice headcanon. A funny one too, given that as I mentioned earlier, her cape disappears during the actual fight and is only seen in some of her portraits.
>unlike
Yeah, that's your opinion.
>>
Speaking of Yumemi, how should I be building her? I'm new to this.
>>
>>25747543
Have you played the game? Her whole thing is how she came to Gensokyo to disprove a big theory and study real magic, as opposed to the outside world's artificial magic. I can't confirm the red outside thing, though I thought it showed it in one of the cutscenes.

Also, before her boss fight she goes on a whole thing about how she must prepare for battle, and then she puts on the cape. Her cape also shows up on the sprite that goes into the opposite window during the fight when she uses a max energy spell.
>>
>>25747635
I didn't play PoDD a whole lot so, fair enough, let's go with what you say.

But still, Yumemi's cape, when seen by itself and not as part of Yumemi's overall design, it's objectively less exciting than any other 2hu cape as it lacks any details at all. Does that make it better or worse? I dunno. I just don't consider it a "best" cape when we have some that have more elaborate designs. But yeah, opinions and what not.

Don't you have a showderp thread to crash?

>>25748784
I am not saying that puppets don't have more variety, I am simply saying that there's nothing wrong with some centralization.

And if the teams in the VGC being 2/3rds identical and the remaining 1/3rd being nearly if not completely identical is NOT the wrong thing, what is
>>
>>25748334
>no longer know how to balance
They never wanted to. It is the manchild that wants to play competitively a game for 10yo kids.
It is like saying that hop, skip, and jump is unbalanced, and that the smogon version of hop, skip, and jump is better.
>>
>>25748835
What is...?
WHAT IS...?
Don't leave me hanging anon.
>>
>>25749137
That's what I mean. If the near-identical teams in the VGC isn't the problem being discussed, what's the problem then?
>>
>>25749610
It is the problem, I'm saying smogon doesn't mitigate that enough.
Honestly, given that they don't mind editing the game to make things different from what is, changing more things to make it fairer wouldn't detract from it still being pokemon. As it is now, someone could easily make a romhack with pokemons themselves and it'd be more balanced. Heck, someone has probably made but we don't know it exists.
>>
>>25749709
What would you fix then? Throw more bans at the problem?
>>
>>25750112
Well removing problems is generally a good way to deal with them.

This might piss some folks off but i think smogon should ban more often, at least ban genies,hoopa-u and probs some stallers.
>>
>>25750112
Maybe edit some files? You know technically sleep clause is actually just a differently worded way to say mons get immune to sleep if another in the team is asleep as well instead of a direct ban.

Smogon's approach to Pokemon, which I hate it: Let's try to remove issues from something that's unsalvagable by default and pretend it was that big instead of adressing the root of the problem. Pokemon is flawed by design and no amount of bans will ever make steel suck or eternal staples of OU fall out of use, making them at the mercy of GF's whims, who knows, maybe they'll add a freeze scald in the future and smogon will shit themselves than ban it.

What one could do instead and has been done frequently in actual pokemon hacks, though I have no examples that could be used competitively, would be to actually balance them, remove some moves, give some, adjust bsts, weaken and strengthen some types, etc.

As a metaphor, they're trying to rebuild a house that's a complete wreck, but instead of scrapping it and starting with the original guidemarks, they're still using it's frail foundations and just slapping more cement when it starts to give away.

Also, VGC wasn't that bad until they started allowing legendaries for no fucking reason. For instance, almost no one in smogon has the balls to do something like Picharisu and worlds used to be far more interesting than Smogon's tournaments.
>>
>>25750367
>steel will never suck
>implying that doesn't apply to dragons better

Steel has actual issues when dealing with fire, fighting, and ground types usually. Dragons usually could care less about opposing ice types and have the type coverage to rip through steel types.
>>
>>25750667
That's true, but I really didn't want to leave any room for that dragon faggot to come back.
Gen 6 would be much better if they had buffed dragon counters instead of creating fairy,
>>
Power or speed Yumemi?
>>
>>25751033
Speed.
Has abetter offensive and defensive typing with only a single 4x weakness (and Fire/electric is just plain cool).
She loses only a bit on defenses and only 5 on Spread attack, but get a huge base 110 speed, enough to outspeed all but the most dedicated speedy types (Like Futo, Aya, you know who I'm talking about).

Both abilities are viable and both rely on you making smart switches. You can also give her burning stones to make her outspeed pretty much anyone.

I'd give her two STABs, lightning speed and a coverage move. Other options include Phase Inversion, Smash spin and maybe some quick barriers, but you don't want to take chances getting hit.

Don't use the costume or you lose the better than Sumireko's cape.

Cool abilities from expansion that I haven't seen mentioned around.

Extra Parsee gets Mega Kang's ability, at 60% power each hit.
Extra Akyuu is a mini Arceus with books for typings.
Extra Kokoro can use outrage equivalents with no drawbacks with 125 attack. Catch is their power is reduced to 90%.
Extra Mai can use two skills per turn.

Momiji is very close. its in the grass in the mountain you are about to climb.
Suwako is kinda close. once you reach sanae's shrine at top, go behind it use surf and search the grass. suwako is rare tough.
Ruukoto is still further away, but if you are in a hurry,
after getting rock smash, go right until you get yourself a gap map. go to human village and head right again, behind one of te breakable rocks there is a route with rokuuto.
