Long enough to get the participation prize at least. I really need those points.
My shitty team of Pokémon I like is almost done

All I want to know is, what pokemon are 'special'? Are Ultra Beasts special? Ash-Greninja? Or is it just Solgaleo/Lunala?

>>30702202
Ash-Greninja and UBs aren't considered special but Zygarde, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma and Magearna are so only 1 per team.

kek

Does anyone want to have a Battle of Alola rules battle right now, I want to test things out

>>30702255
EV training an entire team takes less than 20 minutes, getting your hands on a 6 IV Ditto is the real problem but there's always alternative methods to that.

>>30702321
>EV training an entire team takes less than 20 minutes

Yeah, if you have Pokerus and the Power items, which are a pain in the ass to get.

>>30702313
Smogon has the format on Showdown

>>30702384
The entire point of this tournament is to give you the BP to get them.
It still takes way more than 20 minutes for a team anyway, it's at least an hour, unless you have multiples of those items

>Meta is going to be "let's keep in check the opponent's Lunala/Zygarde/Solgaleo"

No thanks, though the no items clause could be interesting.

>>30702384
I have like 140BP from a single run of the super battle tree

>>30702384
I've just been leaving the to train the Isle Evelup while I'm at work.
It takes a while, but at least it's getting done.

>>30702385
Yeah, but I downloaded the ruleset for use in-game and everything.

>>30702440
>No reward
50 BP is at least something and it'll be fun
>Singles
This is an opinion
>Meta is going to be "let's keep in check the opponent's Lunala/Zygarde/Solgaleo"
You're probably right on this one but there's rocks for Lunala's shield and Solgaleo isn't even that good. Power Construct Zygarde is going to be tough though.

I am vaguely interested, but the lack of held items cuts pretty heavily into one's options. Many pokemon just don't function without one.

>>30702670
I think the no held items clause is because they want the first tourney to be easier on people who haven't done this before.

Tapu Bulu heal spam, anyone?

What are the gaps in there for?
Like 205, 288-292, ?

>>30703364
Those are Zygarde and Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, and Lunala. You can't use these because they say so.

Except in this particular instance where they allow 1 special pokemon, which includes these as well as Necrozma and Magearna.

Are island scan mons allowed?

>>30702180
How did you get extra PC boxes?

>>30703878
They don't have Alola pokedex numbers fren

I haven't participated in one of these things before. What are the rewards for ranking, if there are any?
>>30704134
put at least one pokemon in every box. Repeat this a few times as you gain more boxes

>>30704226
Do you know if it still slows down saving?

>>30704134
It gives you more boxes as you need them, I have so many because all the other ones are full of breedjects.

>>30704226
These events tend to give out pokemon.

But it's shitty BP this time

>>30704637
What's the box limit fellow /shw/

31?

I'm doing it for the 50BP

I'm surprised that this thread is dying. I guess /vp/ doesn't care about anything other than smogon and doubles

What do you think, anons?

>>30707409
Im always nervous running a weavile without focus band.

Want to practice battle with the downloaded rules.

>>30702023
>Power Construct Zygarde is allowed

Ebin

>>30702432
They are 96 BPs to get all of them

>>30707014
>>30708476
Jesus fucking christ what a joke.

Nintendo should seriously just hire some key Smogon people. Other companies did the same thing (hiring fan-based competitive communities to balance their game), there's no shame in it.

Hmm, I never have participed in any competition. I think would be nice just for fun. But I don't have enough breedmon yet, even when already have a perfect Ditto.

>>30702023
>• A 10-minute time limit for each player will automatically be enforced in-game, beginning at the start of each battle. If the outcome has not been determined when the time limit expires, the game will automatically apply tiebreakers to determine a winner.
Unironically sighs*

Getting an opportunity to lead with Lunala is pretty tempting, I must admit.

>power construct Zygarde allowed
This is going to be even more hilarious than the Battle of Hoenn tournament last gen where the entire dex was 1-2HKOed by Mega Mence

>>30709047
> • 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, such as Solgaleo or Lunala.

Anything in the Alola dex outside the posted range of numbers is considered to be one of the Special Pokémon, anon. Everybody is allowed one of their choice.

They had to allow Ash-Greninja by name, however, because it's outside the Alola dex.

>>30709100
>Battle of Hoenn tournament
I didn't pay attention, but pls don't tell me they made a tournament for hoenn mons only and excluded legends, leaving what you said up against the sea of PU trash that is hoenn

So the obvious:
Pack a steel-type killler
expect zygarde (thousand arrows can hit flying)
tapu koko, bulu, or lele
Main UBs would probably be celesteela (probably not, due to thousand arrows), roach, mosquito, and kartana

Is stall as big as a problem in 3v3 as in 6v6?

>played battle of hoenn
>blaziken kept leaving enemy gyaradoses with 1% from stone edge, since i went with jolly to beat mega metagross
>alright my matches today are done let's make it adamant
>you can't take it out of its battle box
and that was the story of how I only played 1 day in the battle of hoenn

>>30708644
Battle Royale is pretty good to get BP fast

>>30702023
Is anyone else running a Bold Lunala? I find it pretty good.

>>30710428
Explain. Is bold the best for Lunala?

Tfw work all days this weekend

>>30710509
no it's just an alternative

like how you can run clefables both defensive and offensive


Bold is best for Calm Mind sets

>>30710319
That story was fucking gay

Kek

Are my three ev trained and max IV Boo-Boo Keys allowed?

So I want to go in with

>Life Orb Greninja
>Assault Vest Primarina
>Alakazite Alakazam
>Leftovers Dhelmise
>Choice Specs Salazzle
>Currently itemless but would appreciate suggestions Golisopod

How badly am I gonna get my ass handed to me?

>>30711404
"Items will not be allowed"

>>30711430
Oh, didn't see that part.

How much more/less likely to lose am I?

>>30711114
No, they aren't. They neither have an Alola Pokedex number nor are they explicitly allowed by name.

Read better.

Guys what's the best nature(s) for Ash-Greninja?

>>30711563
Timid

Ash Greninja already hits like a truck

>>30711600
He comes with mixed EVs for attack and special attack. Should I erase his attack EVs and max special attack? If so, where should the 4 remaining EVs go?

>>30711698
Yes, take out his ATK EVs using the berries and max out his Sp.Atk. I'd put it in HP just to be safe, but that's just me

>>30711505

Alakazam is kinda shit without items
Salazzle gonna have a hard time killing special tanks

Other than that good

>>30711545
Klefki is in the dex tho

>>30712048

Although, Silvally is better being normal, so whatever.
