What would be considered anti-meta now?

What kinds of tactics were banned by Smogon but are still allowed in Battle Spot?
I'm seeing lots of people wih off-the-shelf Smogon teams and I'm thinking what we can do to force them to use some creativity.

>>30757754
The thing that trips up these kids constantly is either using lesser-known Pokemon, or better-known Pokemon with unusual builds.

Just take a look at moves and abilities that don't get a lot of use, Smogon/VGC meta is based around countering itself so even something like an unconventional build (like Feather Dance Decidueye or double flinch Fake Out/Fling Infernape) can force opponents to make bad reads.

Also, get better at making good reads yourself. Chances are if you see something popular, there are only going to be one or two builds for it. Celesteela's always going to have Leech Seed, Pelipper is always going to have Hurricane, etc.

>>30758614
I don't want to play with people who use hacked pokemon, that's all. Gitting gud would involve the cheaters raising their own teams legitimately. I don't see how I'm at the disadvantage here while they can't play fairly. Usually the use of hacking tools shows lack of skill.

Thanks. I've always thought that getting too caught up in the "meta" could make you miss other valid options simply because you're only focusing on what's popular. There are far too many different teams you can create for a single person or even a group of people to be able to counter every time.

Aside from super obscure shit like Wish Chansey there's literally no difference between perfect breedmons and perfect hackmons.
>b-but breeding takes too long and competitive is dumb anyway!
What you're doing is asking other people to lower themselves to your level because you refuse to raise yourself to theirs, and that's not going to happen. So either breed pokemon that can realistically be used in a competitive setting, play on Showdown, or continue playing your shitter friends and ignore the competitive scene entirely. All of these are valid options.

>>
>>30758860
Sorry but hackers are beneath everyone. I would never lower myself to their level. If you want to have a perfect team you're free to play on a simulator like Showdown. If you bring hacked pokemon to competitive battles in the actual game, I hope you get banned and they block your 3DS from accessing online features, so you can't ruin the fun for the rest of us.

Of course the question is why would you even play the 3DS game if you're clearly only interested in simulator-style battles.

>>30758820
It's pretty good but took a while to climb tiers because some OU team used it and people followed suit and found it was a great pivot. Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, or if you wanna shit on Waters and okay special attackers, Assault Vest.
>>
>>30758950
Except hacked pokemon don't ruin the game for breeders because they aren't superior to breedmons. Your Relaxed Brick Break Marowak can't keep up with breedmons any better than it can keep up with hackmons.
>>
>>30759039
Except it takes far too much more effort to have them legitimately. Cheating sucks the fun out of it for everyone. If you want perfect IVs, nature, and shininess, why don't you stay on Showdown?

The point of a simulator is to have readily available teams with max stats to experiment with different setups, or just to focus on the battles without having to play the game. In the actual game, we want to play with people who raised their teams the same way as us, for better or worse. Is that too much to ask for? You're clearly not interested in the game itself, just the math behind it (pure battles with no room for variability), so why insist on playing on 3DS?
>>
>>30758950
No, if you want to have a perfect team you can actually MAKE IT YOURSELF IN GAME WITH THE TOOLS THEY PROVIDE INGAME.
It takes a lot more time than pushing some buttons and receiving the pokemon, but it's more than possible.
I don't have access to any form of hacking, yet have a few perfect IV'd ideal nature pokemon already. And I cannot blame people for wanting to skip the tedium of going through multiple boxes worth of eggs to repeatedly refine the end results just to get what you want. But it's perfectly possible. Just annoying as all fucking hell.
>>
>>30759207
>why don't you stay on Showdown?
Because some people don't like Smogon rules
>In the actual game, we want to play with people who raised their teams the same way as us
Except you didn't raise your team the same way as them. You didn't put in the effort they did. Lots of people use legitimate pentaperfect/hexaperfect pokemon. So why don't you do that too? Pokemon that are used competitively online have perfect IVs, beneficial natures, and egg moves because they have to, or else they're objectively at a disadvantage. This is how it's always been, and this is how it always will be, and that's not going to change because you want to use a Bewear with 8 attack IVs.
>>
>>30759226
Why would you cheat though if there are tools that let you do it legitimately? Especially with tools like hyper training and numerous ways to influence breeding and EVs, which is fun in itself, the only reason to do that would be lack of skills to use those in-game tools and taking a shortcut built by someone else. I also noticed how most script kiddies who use cheating tools also make their entire teams shiny, which makes it even more pointless.

But hey, if that's "annoying as fucking hell" to you, why do you play this game? You can stick to the simulator and skip it all.
>>
>>30759340
But we're not talking about people who do it legitimately. I do everything I can to raise the best team I can, why do you think I don't? I dont have to watch the IVs because there's hyper training now, but the whole process of hunting and breeding the best pokemon I can is a lot of fun in itself. It's the script kiddies with cheating tools who ruin it for those of us who play legitimately. Somehow cheaters are frowned upon in every online game, except this one.

I'm sure you can configure Showdown to play with any rules you like.

>>30759481
Hey, look, I'm gonna say it again so we're sure you understand this time - if that's too tedious for you, or too difficult, why don't you play on the simulator instead? It's free, works in a browser, so you don't have to waste ~250 quid for a console and a game, and it has none of this pesky breeding or gameplay you dislike so much.

>>
>>30759367
>>30759457
Because it honestly takes less time to get something to either perfect IVs or the necessary 5IVs than it is to get it to level 100 and acquire the bottle caps necessary to hyper train it.
The 'annoying as fucking hell' is running around doing nothing but watching eggs hatch, and deciding what to do with the multiple boxes worth of Not Good Enough pokemon leftover because the game loves trolling you.
And I like having my own pokemon because I, too, enjoy that feeling of them being MINE, my team, rather than just some data in a simulator that gets dropped or added at a whim. Plus it's not as enjoyable watching it play out on a simulator anyways.
I still have no idea how you're getting the idea that people who are using pokemon that are - while hacked in - are otherwise within the parameters of what can be obtained in-game are ruining anything for anyone. As far as you know, that team you just fought with the perfect IVs and natures WAS hand-raised. Again, by using nothing but what was made available in-game.
>>
>>30759457
>But we're not talking about people who do it legitimately. I do everything I can to raise the best team I can, why do you think I don't?
Of course you don't. If you did bother to just breed penta-perfect IV mons with good egg moves and natures then you wouldn't be bitching about players who inject Pokes that are identical to that.

>It's the script kiddies with cheating tools who ruin it for those of us who play legitimately.
"Script kiddies"? What the fuck are you talking about. There isn't some crazy hacking script playing on these peoples 3ds while they're battling you - it's literally editing a couple of bytes of information in a file instead of rolling a figurative dice for 2-3 hours per Pokemon.
>>
>>30759642
I don't see what IVs or natures they have anyway, but it isn't a good enough excuse that they're "within legal parameters". Nobody has a team full of shinies with perfect stats legitimately. While this might be theoretically possible, the odds are astronomically low. This proves my point even further, since making them shiny doesn't influence their stats, so it can't be just the desire to get ahead in battle that causes people to cheat. I seriously wish that the next pair of games will require the players to stay connected to Nintendo servers at all times and the pokemon you obtain will need to be signed with their keys or they won't be allowed online. Normally I'm against such practices but cheating is rampant here and people encourage it, and this looks like the only solution that could work. This needs to be solved if Nintendo wants people to keep playing their game. I release all illegitimately created pokemon I get in GTS/wonder trades, it feels wrong to use them.

The truth is we all read and visit all sorts of websites occasionally but only you feel strongly enough about them to develop a tribal identity based on the websites you like.
>>
>>30759838
How would you know if a pokemon you got on GTS/Wondertrade is illegitimately created? Would a perfect IV sand veil Gible sent over wondertrade get deleted? Because I was planning on sending one of those off in the near future because it's not one of the perfect rough skins I've got and I like throwing cool things out on wondertrade every so often
And yeah, the hacker's probably going to flip the shiny switch if they think it looks neater that way. How does that, in any way, shape, or form, affect how a battle plays out? How does that ruin the battle? Because of a minor visual effect?
And your proposed solution for this minor annoyance you have is one of the most heavyhanded things possible for a damn children's series.

>>30759838
>This needs to be solved if Nintendo wants people to keep playing their game. I release all illegitimately created pokemon I get in GTS/wonder trades, it feels wrong to use them.
You can't seriously think that a few butt-hurt autists "leaving" because they don't like that some people have gotten shiny Pokemon quicker and easier than they have is going to have any effect on Nintendo.

Most people who buy Sun and Moon are kids or people who play 3DS in their spare time and don't give a shit about "competitive" battling. You show the 'typical' Pokemon player one of the autists who plays at VGC and they will cringe. Most players are never going to use the online battle features and will just fuck around in their own game, just think about that for a second.

Since you still haven't provided a coherent reasoning I'll lay it out again.

You (Player A) breed your shiny "legit" - it takes 5-7 hours depending on your luck.

I (Player B) gen my shiny - it takes 5-10 minutes, depending on which home-brew method I use.

How does my having the shiny quicker have any effect at all on your enjoyment of the game? This is why I can't stand anti-injectors. Most injectors will see a player who enjoys the lengthy breeding process and RNG and dismiss it as "to each their own". On the other hand faggots like you profess to enjoy the long RNG-laden breeding process, but seethe with scorn and jealousy at those who inject to avoid the process.

>>30760243
Then you might as well cheat it so it only displays "Congratulations, you win". The point of having shinies is that they're exceedingly rare and hard to obtain. Cheating to get them is pointless and removes all the fun, surprise, and accomplishment involved in finding them legitimately. This is what happens when you have a generation of kids getting participation awards and taught that everyone is a winer no matter what. Don't you see what an exercise in futility this is?
>>
>>30760199
You know very well that the simulators aren't the same as the physical game.

It's possible to both enjoy battling with and training the Pokemon on your system - while at the same time not enjoying the lengthy and tedious process of IV breeding. Same goes for Shiny Pokemon.

Yes just editing them in makes them feel less "special", but if you just like how a Shiny looks and don't want to roll a dice for 6-7 hours to get one then heck, why not inject? As long as it's not illegal it doesn't hurt anyone elses game experience.

"Challenge" is also murky waters. With Destiny Knot and IV breeding we know very well how to breed good Pokemon. There's no inherent "challenge" in it. It's simply rolling a dice to refine the children until you have what you want.

It's like having a 100-sided dice and the "challenge" is to roll a 1. That's not hard, that's not "challenging" at all. It's just trying your luck until you get the desired outcome.

Honestly as far as injecting / PKHeX goes legendaries are the real point of contention. There is ACTUALLY no other way to get a shiny or good IV + natured Legend than to soft-reset your game hundreds if not thousands of times and hope you get lucky. Where's the challenge in that? If what I enjoy in Pokemon is leveling and battling with my favorite Pokemon without having to go through all that tedious shit then why wouldn't I cut out the middle man?

The point of all these things is so that they will be very very rare and hard to obtain. By cheating them into the game, you cheapen their value for everyone else and make them seem mundane. They're not supposed to be just a click away, it's purposefully very difficult to find just a single shiny.

This is why videogames are moving to always online models, you just can't trust people to not cheat even when it comes to purely cosmetic stuff that's there to provide variety and a sense of accomplishment and luck when you do encounter them. If you happen to like the way they look is no excuse to just cheat them into the game. I hope the next game will do all of that server side so cheating is only possible on private ghetto servers with minimal population.

You know online-only would kill Pokemon right?

You're so blinkered by your bias you don't even realise how fucked these games would be if a kid can't even play Pokemon on a long car-ride because it requires "checking in" to ensure that his purely cosmetic, not effecting gameplay in any way, slightly different colored monsters are NINTENDO CERTIFIED.

Fuck off, you know very well how cancerous that shit gets in the game industry. Cosmetic 'loot crates' are abound in pretty much every game out there with a server-side loot system and it's just an excuse to nickel and dime people for every fucking cent.

And let's not forget Nintendos own track record with forced - scarcity. Little Jimmy wants a Marth Amiibo from his favorite game? Too bad they're "exclusive" and rare so his only option is to get his parents to buy one from one of the scalpers on Ebay for 200+ fucking dollars.

Fuck off.

Candy Crush does that and it's one of the most popular games ever. And countless other mobile games. So it's not as unlikely as you think. And it seems unavoidable, because cheaters keep popping up everywhere. You're doing this yourself, it's our actions that require those solutions. Stop cheating, stop justifying cheaters, and we won't need to have always online games everywhere.

Online verified mons solves this. Offline play might keep hacks around but if there is a pentagon equivalant symbol only on online verified mons, then people can choose only to trade for those. Add it to the trade filter on GTS and wala.

Ok cheater, just be aware that those are the consequences of your actions. The next time you get irrationally angry because a game has a built-in mechanism to keep your dirty hands off its internal mechanisms, you will know it's because of you and others like you. If you weren't trying to cheat, even in the most meaningless and cosmetic aspects of the game, we wouldn't need that,

Or, just maybe, they could make it NOT take so long to get a decent team, instead of shooting themselves in the foot with something that means the game is LITERALLY DEAD COME NEXT GEN.
Make Hyper Training something not gated behind both level 100 and an exceedingly scarce item.
Make Hidden Power something you can choose between instead of only one thing ever for a particular pokemon.
Have a way to swap natures for your pokemon so you don't have to sit there breeding for that.
NOT remove the easiest methods of EV raising and lowering ever in the series.
Then anyone can be able to compete just as well as anyone else!

>You really just compared the main-line Pokemon series to the lifeless, corporate husk that is mobile gaming

Fuck off anon.

>>30760996
The trouble is there will always be a way around this anon.

You can't have any shiny you capture in offline play not be "online verified" or all you do is fracture the community into "online only" and "everyone else" and then guess what? Your games dead.

How do you guys not get this. 95% of what goes on in a Pokemon game is single player and completely fucking that up because a small minority of players are a little bit upset because another small minority of players aren't catching their shinies 100% legit is just about the stupidest thing I have seen on this board - and that's saying something.
>>
>>30761058
>In one sentence you call shinies "special, rare and meaningful" and in the next you berate injectors for editing a "meaningless and cosmetic aspect"

If you weren't obviously sniffing your own farts I would be surprised.

I'm with ya. I'm a beginner and I don't know where to start. I usually just copy and use teams that other people have made but that makes me predictable and so I want to make my own team but I don't know where to start.

No, they are not, and no one is angry at GF seven (and surely raising) layers of crypto.
I'm angry at the sheer stupidity of what you suggested. Add more checks and built in barriers? Fine, be calm for another two years, it'll be broken at some point., or not. Add a system that makes the PORTABLE game REQUIRE A MODEM to be played? Well done you imbecile. Not even Microsoft could keep something as idiotic as that up for long. ON A FUCKING HOME CONSOLE.
A fucking mobile game has the advantage of being, you know, ON A FUCKING MOBILE, with that dandy little device called a SIM card that enables it to be connected at all times.

Not a single thing done requires further deviance from the norm.
Get down from that high horse of yours and go down on it.

The game would die? Yeah, no. You act like it would be separate communities. It's just a check to show if the Poke is actually legit, using online connectivity. If it was modified while you weren't online it would lose the mark. Nobody loses except hackers.

Nope.
Wouldn't work.
The only way for such a system to work would be to disallow any capture or breeding done offline.

What the fuck is all this shit about online verification? Most of the time i'm playing Pokemon it's while travelling.

I hop online for PSS stuff every other night and you're saying I can't use any of the Pokemon I snagged while using my mobile handheld gaming device while mobile?

Why do you care so much about what other people have. It's like being mad at some kid who has more money than you because he was born into it, while you worked hard for your shit. You'll eventually have the same amount as the kid, but you wasted time. You know TIME....... the thing you can't get back.
>>
>>30770132
So many things are wrong with this, but I kinda get where you're going with this. It's more like the kid is loaded, and it doesn't affect you, but it makes you mad because how dare he take a shortcut.

Except hackers would just work around this. The only people who loose are little timmy who caught a shiny rattata while driving through a tunnel.

I'm not even sure he's a breedfag, because he clearly doesn't know how breeding works.
