ITT: Times Sun/Moon's difficulty fucked you in the ass

>>30158058
Your team is shit.

>>30158058
Every match is brutal.

The Maison would at least pretend to be gentle the first few matches. Battle Tree has a team tailored to fuck your ass from the first match.

>>30158058
ur team a shit

>>30158058
Battle Tree is brutal 24/7. Prep your Smogon strats.

>>30158058
Battle Tree is brutal.

Thought I could go in with Sticky Web/Toxic Spike Ariados support only to get fucked with only Flying-types and Levitators.

What's a good battle tree team for someone getting into competitive?

>>30158058
Totem Wishiwashi destroyed my Torracat until I found the Scald TM and a Water Absorb Poliwag

Can we talk about other battles too

Battle tree is super fucking easy.


I ran it with mudsdale for physical sweep, celeestela for special bulky tank/sweep and Xurkitree leading out with Z-electric terrain. I wiped the majority of teams using xurkitree alone. He is too fucking strong.


Didn't even bother ev training them. Just caught them and used as is except for mudsdale who is adamant and has been in my team for since the start. Just slap some shitty item on as a place holder and you're good to go. Red at the 20th win is piss easy and his belly-drum charizard is a joke.

Then again I am better than the majority of people ITT and actually know how to play the game so that could the cause of my success.

>>30158234
Brute force strategies usually work the best in the Battle facilities, just make a team of shit that has high attacking stats or are decent all around with good bulk.

I threw together a doubles team with Garchomp, Gyarados and Celesteela for EQ spam with Whimsicott for Tailwind and it got me to like 35 wins on the first go.

Here's a trick I did in the maison a while back. Dunno if it still works, but it's worth a shot.

Team:
>Truant Durant with Entrainment (preferably with Focus Sash)
>Any setup mon with protect (Ninjask is the best for this because of baton pass and can boost a lot of things at once)
>Filler (any hard hitter is fine)

Step 1: Lead Durant and give the opponent Truant.
Step 2: Switch into your setup mon and set up on the truant mon, protecting on turns that the opponent is able to attack. They never switch because they don't know how to. It's wise to have a sub up as well. I used Ninjask to get my speed boosts and Hone Claws boost before baton passing in a sub onto my Mega Heracross and proceeded to run through everything.
Step 3: Sweep

>>30158441
it doesn't work because you can't get entrainment Durant legally yet.

>fighting Hapu with no grass Pokemon, no flying/levitating Pokemon and Toxapex as the only water Pokemon

Then my Charjabug evolved after the fight.

I wasn't ready for the Dark Kahuna. It wouldn't have been a problem, but every time he confused me with Krokorok, the game refused to let me hit him. I eventually broke and revived my Pokemon, because I was kinda salty over it.

>>30158388
You did use ultra beasts, which cheese the hell out of everything. Seems lame as shit

>>30158546
Better than being cheesed by the NPC's, anon. They all fight dirty. I'm not battling in that shit just to impress some chick or whatever. Going in for the BP and that's it. Nothing more nothing less.

Kakui kicked my ass like 4 times.

Here's one time that made me rage hard:

>both down to one pokemon, Ninetails for him and Lycanroc for me
>Ninetails uses Blizzard, brings me down to 10% health
>I use Rock Slide, do the same
>"OH FUCK I'M GONNA WIN, JUST GOTTA USE ACCELROCK"
>his ninetails uses FUCKING ICE SHARD

almost threw my 3ds across the room

>>30158058
When I put the cartridge up my ass

Teacher Emily with her fucking Meowth that only knows Bite almost fucked me over because I constantly got Flinched.

>everything's going fine, no losses
>suddenly Totem Lurantis shows up
>Solar Blades my face in, spams Synthesis like it was going out of style when she's missing even a single goddamn HP
>summons a Supersonic-spamming Trumbeak if you're lucky
>or Castform with Sunny day to make Solar Blade better and to have it spam Weather Ball if you aren't
That sure didn't feel like it was only 5 PP.

Does this battle tree thing have a register feature that allows trainers to register their teams and they can show up for others?

>>30159019
Iktf, my Tsareena with high jump kick killed that, snorlax, and magnezone with 1hp and my last mon. God that thing was hard.

My very first loss was to that shirtless faggot professor after E4. Thought there would be no 5th battle since I'm first champ. Thought maybe game would once more break tradition. Used all my items on e4 and my team was a wreck, so lost. Was p.mad.

gives him the right to challenge me?


Second was after making it through poni area on way to battle tree, fighting off hordes of E4 lvl trainers with no pmc in sight ,then when I get to the end they hit me with UNAVOIDABLE RED FIGHT without letting me heal.

Sure you can also fight blue, but he's just as strong. And be honest nobody fucking picked blue.

>>30159216
What gives*

>man rockruff does no damage and takes so much
>fight against the faggot with the red cards
>almost white out against his own rockruff

>>30159216
>And be honest nobody fucking picked blue.

I picked Blue :^)

What are Red and Blue mons?

>>30158058
>Noivern
>Thunderbolt

how do i get new trainers to partner with at the battle tree

guzma knocked out a few of my mons. i didn't lose but he has some surprisingly tough pokemon. just finished fighting him at aether.

>>30159216
I picked Blue

I didn't think Kukui was that hard. Mostly because he let my Kommo-o set up DD like 3 times and allowed me to kill half his team.

So I just talked to looker the second time, are the UBs random encounters or what?

>>30162153
Use repels with Pokemon stronger than the wild Pokemon but weaker than the UB in the front of your party. You'll find the UB 100% of the time in the grass.

>>30162153
They spawn in the areas he tells you randomly, just lead with a poke slightly below lvl 55 and use repels.
