>>30675351
If you were running scarf you wouldve won -_-. Dumb op

Sometimes paralysis will trigger, or I'll flinch three times in a row, basically three consecutive turns of doing nothing, and it just feels like the game telling me I've gotten far enough.

That's not bullshit. Come back when you've been 3-0'd by a Walerin with a Quick Claw and Sheer Cold.

A jellicent stacked 2 acid armors and proceeded to get stat boosts on all 5 ominous winds

I guess that's what I get for not running a special attacker

>>30675671
Now we're talking

Yup, this is actual bullshit. That's why this game is broken and can't really be played competitively. Way too much shit like this.

I will say that the AI switching is an unexpected development, and they've done it more frequently in SM than other games

Personal experience: Between Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt and Hammer Arm all having 90% accuracy, Mega Metagross will let you down at some point. He's amazing when he's not missing though.

I'm not the only one who constantly ran into pokemon using protect successfully until they ran out of PP in RSE right? My battery works fine

Quick claw Walerin with sheer cold is the game telling you your run is now over. Also, a Rotom with a sitrus berry crit my Komala 3 times in a row.

I got through it after loosing two mons but fug moody is fucking terrifying. It's the epitome of what battle facilities hope to be but fail due to increased hax. Random ass sets in order to get that one moment to ruin your run because one failure is what fucks you up.

Happened to me on the battle subway and then again in the chateau. Havent tried the tree yet but I'm sure i'll get fucked by it a third time

>>30683258
I wouldn't even be mad except for the fact that you need the BP for most items that are useful in the Battle Tree and online. The fact that it is really annoying to get those items really pisses me off.

I've never understood how Pokemon dodge earthquakes like that.

anon again. Just got my shit pushed in at 46 by Mega Swampert under rain set up from its Jolteon friend. Even after I managed to kill it with Dragonite, a Pelliper survived a +1 Outrage from Dragonite and retaliated with a Blizzard.

I feel like shit, but I'm also impressed that team went as far as it did.

How is Pheromosa in Battle Tree? Strong or too weak to take a hit?

Why doesn't everyone just use Taunt? Or Knock Off?

>>30689517
I've been abusing the fuck out of Knock Off in my previous runs. I was surprised how many bands/sashes one can break through with it, and even if it cant KO, it can remove pinch berries and Brightpowder if it hits.

Taunt's also pretty strong, especially with Fini being able to negate status effects and setup on the opponent too.

>Try the z crystal eevee meme
>First battle get put up against a tyranitar with roar
Thanks game

>>30689408
Generally too weak to take a hit. If can OHKO, go for OHKO, if not, use U-turn.

Why doesn't anyone ever have stories of barely managing to scrape by using hax against the Battle Facilities.

>Last mon is Greninja
>Has low health, will literally die to the next hit and I can't one shot this thing
