Battle of Alola

>>30584943
Wasn't this already ongoing?
I tried to find someone to fight and there was literally nobody.

Fuck it, its just gonna have Garchomp and Salamence anyway.

No items, huh? No Z-moves, no Megas, no Scarves...awful Gen 1 of you, Gamefreak.

>battle of alola
>can't use z-moves

Thanks for the heads up anon. So the maintenance was to improve somewhat the site huh? Maybe at the end of the month or January we'll get our first minigame or shop to finally get some items I hope.

It's my wild dream that apricorn balls will be hoardable this way.

Also I'm competing just for the heck of it. Even though I just got to the third island.

>>30585010
Might as well, 50 battle points for participating.

>no items
>everyone just uses garchomp, salamance and metagross

I assume Lunala and Zygarde with Power Construct will be the main special pokémon people will use.
Solgaleo is a solid choice too but it gets fucked by Lunala.

So what will the meta be, boys?

I'm thinking toxapex, clefable, garchomp, celesteela, metagross, salamence, tapus, and pheromesa, will be popular, outside of zygarde, lunala, ash-greninja, and magearna.
I know jack shit about 3v3 singles though, so what do I know

>>30585215
3vs3 is because GF actually thinks pokémon players have a life and don't want to go through 30 minute matches of pure stall and switcheroo faggotry.

>>30585347
yeah, maybe use some support mon that sets up screens, forces a switch with yawn or some shit, then set up a powerhouse and sweep through

no focus sashes will make revenge killing a pain in the ass

>>30585190
I think they mean UBs and Mythicals. I'm not sure why they couldn't just give us a banlist instead of listing the dex and having us find out ourselves.

>>30585419
I think only Solgaleo, Lunala, Greninja and Magearna count as special for this competition.

>>30585419
UBs are regular legendaries, they're not banned

Just lead with Mimikyu and set up your SD then proceed to sweep. This looks easy enough.

>>30585554
> Players may use Ash-Greninja and Pokémon with Alola Pokédex numbers 1–204, 206–288, and 293–299; players are allowed to include one special Pokémon in their Battle Team.

Depending on what "special" means, Solgaleo is allowed

I'm not really sure why they have to be cryptic about that shit, just explain exactly what we're allowed to use, christ.

>UBs are allowed
Of course they are.

>>30584943
why is battlespot even level 50 all the time?

>>30587484
It's favors quick efficient matches.
Level 100 favors stall too much.

>>30587602
do defensive stats scale up harder with levels or what?

is this the one where you get 50BP for participating? how do i get my precious bp

>>30587484
Battling in the games has always been level 50

Level 100 is unnecessary and just means more grinding

>>30587616
All stats scale up with levels fucking casual

>>30587659
>(You)
>reading comprehension

>>30587616
Something complicated that I'm sure makes perfect sense.
Like how the numbers are so low in little cup that it is an extremely fast paced metagame where being defensive is almost impossible because of the small numbers at level 5

>>30587616
EVs scale weirdly at level 50 so everything is relatively more frail since you're still using high BP moves
