>>30730636
It isn't.

>>30730650
For you.

>>30730636
Payoff is great, transitions are fast, you have new OP toys that make cruising through it significantly less painful, and the various recurring characters are nice to see.

>>30730704
>new OP toys
Like what?

>>30730636
It makes you feel like you have a chance, engages you greatly and then pulls underhanded pre-prepared bullshit to make you lose.

Its like gambling, but instead of money its time and energy.

After getting my 50 stamps I don't really see the point in continuing

>>30730636
it would be addicting if it wasn't a 15 years old feature, most sets barely even changed from last gen

Until you reach the PAR, Confuse, Flinch bullshit

>>30730742
tapus, UBs, z moves, new greninja form, etc

>>30730636
Because it starts hardcore from the start instead of having to slog through shitty unevolved teams first.

>>30731224
Gets interesting faster, the environment looks good, has old characters that you can collect and fight, etc. Has a lot more to do than Maison. I still miss battle factory, though.

>>30731236
Use Pyukumukku
Use a wallbreaker. and/or a bulky pokemon that can set up.

There! You won anon.

I fucking love multi-battling with Colress and Guzma

>>30731236

37 with A-Persian, Golisopod and Turtonator.

I'm trying a set that should be working better with A-Persian, Primarina and A-Marowak, but I keep making misplays.

Gonna try Mimikyu, Toxapex and Minior at some point.

>>30731478
Minior wrecks face, definitely go with it. Acrobatics, stone edge, EQ, shell smash with white herb always.

>>30731194
What about Garchompite if I run Mimikyu/Something Bulky/Garchomp?

>>30731224

The daily max streak awards and occassional character people give a duck about helps.

>>30731525
>What about Garchompite-
no

I fucking hate ice types in these facilities

Between freeze hax, sheer cold hax, crit hax, and blizzard never missing and hitting both your pokemon there's the highest potential for bullshit

I remember facing Brycen in PWT and my Registeel was frozen for 10+ turns, and in the Battle Tree I got hit with a Blizzard in doubles and both my mons got frozen at the same time

>>30731525
Garchompite is the only mega stone I can think of that makes a pokemon worse than the base form. Just stick to the two mentioned unless you REALLY don't want to pick up a Salamence or Metagross.

I just want to be able to use my in game team on Battle Tree to have fun with them without EV training and breeding and all that fun bullshit

Guess not

Same anon from before

I was grabbing a Celesteela for my pokedex, and turns out someone passed on a pretty good Celesteela to me, and it seems pretty bulky

Would Celesteela be a good compliment to Mimikyu/Garchomp?

You get a free life orb in resolution cave.

>>30731703
Yes, definitely. It's a great switch-in to dragon, fairy and ice type moves for Garchomp, while also being a great switch in for poison, steel, etc. types for Mimikyu. Very strong.

What's a good Mega Salamence set for the Battle Tree

>>30731699
You get a free Life orb from the Resolution Cave where you find Guzzlord, in one of the paths, it mimics the Cave from XY with Zygarde

I use Life orb on my Mimikyu, when I tested the Battle tree with Mimikyu, Togekiss (Who I EV trained wrong and gave them speed instead of Spdef) and Mudsdale (Not even a good one, just from my main story team)

I took out Regular singles in one go, and got to around 9 wins in SS's

>>30731733

The free life orb helps so much with early battle tree until you can get a proper team with power items together.

The generic is:
Heavy slam
Leech Seed

Flamethrower/Earthquake

Though if you wanted to go full meme, an autotomize special attacker would work, too.

POST YOUR BATTLE TREE TEAMS

RATE OTHER BATTLE TREE TEAMS

>>30731917

Bit of everything.

The AI doesn't adjust tactics to deal with disguise.

I've had them use Z-moves on the disguise only for them to do 0 damage.

You can get a guaranteed SD off and more if the ai wants to do stupid shit. That plus it's decent typing means there isn't much you can't deal with.

>>30731964
>He knows the secret winning tech
Whimsicott +2 other mon to counter the pokemon who manage to slip away from his bullshit = Victory.

I had a 150 winning streak back in oras with Whisimcott bullshit.

Oh, sorry. Thought it worked like Shields Down, haven't fought any Mimikyus.

>>30731917
Free swords Dance
Substitute
AI being silly

Slap a Life orb on a jolly Mimikyu, EV spread that for Attack and Speed. Will outspeed most things you find, thankfully. Run Shadow Claw, Play rough, SD, Leech Life

Give him some mons that are good back ups like a ground type to take care of opposing Steel types, and you're good to go

Only thing that screws Mimikyu over is focus sashed pokes on the opposing team and other weird strats

>>30732009
do you run Jolly or Adamant?

>>30731510
Would you recommend pure physical over mixed?

I'm going naive myself; acrobatics, power gem, earthquake shell smash

Pure physical, for sure. Are you OHKOing stuff with Power Gem? If not, switch to stone edge. I'm assuming you're 252 ATK/252 Speed or HP, right?

>>30732040
Jolly

You get the extra attack from Swords dance and the life orb - at that point, I feel the extra speed will help it move a bit quicker than some of the more threatening types

>>30732004
any match where I can get off two cotton guards and put a leech seed against pokes with only physical moves make me happy

Maybe cause it's an actual real jump in challenge like other battle facilities in previous games but it isn't filled with pointless gimmicks like the Battle Frontier and it's serviceable enough that you can grind out enough points for all your competitive items along with giving you some fanservice by having old returning characters like with the PWT.

>>30731236
Mimikyu is good for EZ wins.

>>30732093
Nah i'm planning on running 252 Atk/148 SpA/108 Spe

I've seen this way recommended a lot by people; physical attacker I've also seen recommended by others but the reason people have been telling me to go for mixed is to help against bulkier pokemon such as skarmory

>>30732208
WW was my ingame so he has shit nature and EV's but he does his job.

Nothing too surprising here, but it got me to 50. It's a bit to vulnerable to electric so expect a lot of rotoms as you move up.

Thank fucking goodness, how can anyone use this?

No wonder that one dude said it was honeypot tier, is it just a revenge killer and nothing more?

I just put the Life Orb on Koko since the extra 30% squeaks out extra kills it couldn't otherwise. I also switched out Hammer Arm for Superpower on Bewear because I've been screwed over by Hammer Arm's 90% accuracy one too many times.

I got to battle 59 but lost due to some really bad misplays, it wasn't even bullshit I just super fucked up.

I'm thinking of Calm Mind Mega Slowbro+Marowak-A+something else for singles, but I don't know what. Something that can handle everything that can Toxic Slowbro, probably.

Even though it's a bit frustrating, I also like how it doesn't matter when you start, it always starters moderately hard rather than too easy just to let you win a few battles like other gens. It still has a cheating ass CPU though, but I guess a Maison like place can't go without one.

>>30730636
I'm disappointed to see this trash back in the game. Chaining battles with random events means it will eventually pull bullshit like quick claw OHKO moves or Bright Powder luck. I did the 50 super singles once on Y, and I'm never touching it again. I considered it for a moment to get an Ampharosite, but that one's not even in there. Probably locked away until the sequel, like the tutor moves.

Is it better for me to run Porygon 2 with Eviolite or Porygon Z with Normalium for Z-Conversion

He'll go alongside my aegislash and garchomp

>>30736466
Z-conversion, it wrecks shit hard with adaptability tri-attack and boltbeam

>>30730636
It's the same shit as Battle Maison, both are trash

>>30736510
I assume that's t-bolt and psybeam

>>30736566
Boltbeam is Thunderbolt and Ice Beam.

Is porygon z really tanky enough to survive a hit to spend time using z conversion?

he's not exactly fast either

>>30731988
Porygon2 @Eviolite
Minior or Mimikyu @White Herb or Life Orb
M-Scizor.
Porygon2 Toxic stalls everything it can and BoltBeams the rest.
Scizor uses SD first turn and can usually take out whatever Porygon2 couldn't.
Minior/Mimikyu sweep up what somehow remains.

Just tried it my first time.

Made it to Red without much effort. Mimigma was my lead.
Snorlax fainted, Charizard fainted.

Lapras used Thunder against Mimikyu and of course paralysed me, then it used Confuse Ray. I wasn't able to attack once.

Lapras also had Ice Shard.

I had Garchomp and Milotic left.
gg

>>30736697
Porygon-Z will outspeed most things, use Z-conversion and then get that 50% defense boost, so it'll always be able to tank anything. Even if it doesn't, it has decent bulk and normal is a pretty safe defensive type.

>>30736904
can't help but feel like porygon-2 is still just better because it walls harder than almost anything

Porygon sweeps everything and Garchomp is there for secondary sweeping. Toxapex is the last stand stall against whatever was able to take out the first two. I'm thinking of switching to m-salamence

Ok my team so far is el classico Life Orb Garchomp and Meta Mistress Toxapex, but I'm kind of flip flopping on that third slot.

I've played around with Scarf Lele, which is pretty baller, but I'm wondering if Koko would be better. Opinions?

>>30739068
To elaborate, Lele's psychic terrain has fucked over Toxapex at least once by boosting opponent's psychic attacks.

>>30739328
Koko probably won't be much better than Lele. It makes your team pretty weak to ground and it will boost electric attacks against Toxapex.

That will never happen. Ribbons are meant to be nothing more then signifiers of memories you've made with specific Pokemon. That's why they really don't do anything outside Sinnoh and why they have no trade value.

I misclicked leech life instead of swords dance against a veterans Gallade, and that fucked me over big time

I was going against a slightyl above half HP Uxie and my Garchomp

In the situation where Uxie is half HP ish, is it better to use Crunch, which is x2 against Uxie despite it's 80 power, or Outrage which is 120 power and has stab bonus against a really tanky Uxie?

I need to know for future reference

Celesteela with Ingrain, Leech Life, Substitute, Flamthrower/Heavy slam with a Big Root

Arguably, if you can get either Ingrain or Leech Life off, you actually get much more HP from using a Big root than you do with Leftovers. She's great for breaking Spec Defense weak walls and stalling out stuff

Sometimes I had to hit stuff hard to synchro-evolve or whatever it is called.
Sometimes I just wanted to have a big nuke for ash-ninja.
Life orb is surely a valid alternative, but nihilego really needed it, so that's it.

>>30731590
But you can, retard. I got to 14 wins with my starter and other two faggots.

If I were gonna run into an NPC version of my faggot friend I wouldn't try this in the first place.

>>30747280
Better than mine. Mine was only 4IV, missing attack and speed

It was also an accident

>>30731574
>worse than the base form
Explain?

>>30732782
cute as fuck

I don't even try to do anything real with it just use cottton guard 2x then leech seed

>>30748122
Not him but it's slower.
One of regular garchomp's selling points is its trollish speed tier.

>>30746374
hit up the bros in /wfg/, theyve always helped me out with trade evo's and are always respectful and courteous

>>30731525
Just put a life orb on Garchomp. Mega chomp got fucked even harder this gen with the change to mega turn order calculation

Just got a 50 win streak on super multi battle. I teamed up with my boyfriend and we managed to pull through. We were using megamence and megagross though.

Is it easier because you're supposed to be playing with a shitty AI partner?

>tfw duck doubles set with Porygon Z, Porygon2, Golduck and Pelliper
Only problem is I can't keep the duck theme up in singles
If only there was a third duck who works better standalone with the 2 Porygon

>>30731988
Currently at 101 wins.

Mimikyu @Lum berry
Jolly 4Hp /252Att /252Spe
-Swords dance
-Play rough
-Shadow claw
-Shadow sneak

Salamence @Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
Jolly 252Att /4Def /252Spe
-Return
-Dragon claw
-Rock tomb
-Earthquake

Shiny Porygon-Z @Normalium Z
Ability: Adaptability
Timid 4Def /252SpA /252Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Hyper Beam
-Conversion

Very effective team, Mimikyu is able to set up Swords Dance and sweep through most of the Battle tree teams, having an extra turn if the game decides to use status on you. Priority has saved my ass quite a few times.

If Mimikyu faints, Mega-Salamence is able to 3HKO everything, at the very least. Rock Tomb is very underappreciated, it's use is mainly to slow down dangerous Pokémon that outspeed my whole team and Salamence isn't able to defeat in the next turn, leaving them open to Porygon-Z. One of such Pokémon is Mega Zard Y, which sweeped me in my previous run.

If Salamence fails, Porygon-Z can make short work of anything if it's faster than them, with two viable strategies: Electric Conversion-Z is ideal to use at the start of the battle (either because Mimikyu fails or I decide to save it for later), and the other strategy is using Normal Porygon-Z Breackneck Blitz (400 BP with Adaptability, which OHKOs everything not named Mega Steelix, and doesn't have to recharge) and using regular Hyper Beam in the next turn which is less powerful but also kills everything in one hit (Amoongus does tank the hit, though)

So I just encountered this in battle 17 of non-super doubles. Has anybody seen this before? Is it a glitch? Very confused

>>30748560
Is one of them a zoroark? Probably not against the rules either way

>>30748576
yeah one of them was a Zoroark. I feel kinda dumb in hindsight, but that still confused the hell out of me at first

Got to 192 with Kartana, Celesteela and Tapu Lele. I give up.

>>30748680

I can feel your pain from here.

>>30743940

The game thinks his team is the best equipped out of the special trainers to fuck your shit up. Given your fustrations with his Pokemon, it appears to be correct.

>>30745452

The A.I being brain dead like that is why it cheats. GF is trying to balance out their stupidity.

>>30730636
I disagree, so how about you give me 7 destiny knots so i can have one for each in my hexa seven and one on my ditto.

>mfw getting fucking teased like a bitch

Feeling quite proud of my team for getting 30+ wins in Super Singles without using Tapus, UBs, or legendaries. Team is M-Gengar, Z-Incineroar, and Hariyama.

Teams with legendaries are fucking me up though. I might have to add a UB just to get to 50. Anybody else make it there without the use of one?

>>30749017
Won't matter at level 50.

I've got a bunch of 6iv Miniors now
Took around 800 eggs for my shiny

>>30749034
Honestly shit like Mega Mence are more broken than most UBs. UBs are minmaxed to a fault that the AI can easily use to cheat you out of a win and by far the easiest time most people have been having in the Battle Tree so far is using Mimikyu. Fucking Mimikyu. Free Sword Dance is a helluva drug.

Use Kartana for physical, maybe Pheromosa for special/physical(she will faint at a slight breeze though) and Celesteela for bulk.

>>30730636
>addicting
Addictive dumb burger

Eh...time to see how far I can make it in super singles with this crap team.

>>30749632
At least post your team, anon.

What would be a good 3rd member to round out Mimikyu and Hydreigon? Also I normally run Hydreigon with a life orb but since I'm hearing that it's also good for Mimikyu, what should I do?

>>30749637
Primarina
Lycanroc night
Pheromosa

on the 9th battle. Surprised I lasted this far

>>30749971
put focus sash on mimikyu and set up two sword dances

>>30750827
And the dream dies at 11...Time to breed a proper primarina.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH A TEAM SO THAT I DONT SUCK AT THIS

>>30751212
>>30750827
(Assuming you're the same person)

Megamence
LO Nihilego
Scarfed Xurkitree

>>30738189
Bullshit. Shadow Sneak will not OHKO everything even with 2 SDs. Most of the time you won't even get off 2 SDs because you'll be KO'd or status'd. Even haxed.

>>30751022
Thanks, but what would be a good 3rd member for those two?

>>30751997
Nah that's alright I like the weird team I have. If All else fails I'll wait until january to get my bank stuff.

>>30732009
One other important screw over is Mold Breaker, since it goes through Disguise. Was my final poke vs Excadrill and got killed quick because I didn't know that.
