>first time participating in an online competition >it's

It has started already? Damn, I don't even have a team. Better get my shit together right now.

Solgaleo has saved my ass like 5 times already.

Very underrated and fun to use pokemon desu.

>>30816920
Go with A-ninetales, outspeed and use airora veil, then just spam dark pulse.

>>30816920
Isn't there a good sucker punch user for lunaala between all the alolamons?

For fucks sake. They have to advertise these things better, I had no idea this was a thing and I missed the registration.

Maybe have a notification pop up during the registration period when you go online in festival plaza. They might have done that and I just missed it, honestly, but if they didn't, they should have.

had a jap quit on me right now
his ebin Swords Dance Mimikyu strategy was easily countered by Kartana

>>30816990
It's too late. Registration deadline was at 12am Euro time, I missed it too

The spam really fucking gets me mad, the only battle I didn't have to deal with the atrocious move spamming was the first battle which was pretty fun. I really wanted to enjoy this event but I've given up, so now I'm just waiting for my free 50 BP.

>nearly swept by comfey with calm mind, draining kiss, synthesis, leech seed
Holy shit this is the most annoying fucker I've come across yet, Tapu Lele switch in spam just barely saved me

>>30817307
>He doesn't have a PGL account.

>>30817451
The thing is I registered as soon as I got the opportunity, but neglected creating a team because "I had time" now we're here and all I have are some in-game mons.

That's why I said that will get my shit together fast.

Jap had some team and there was a Mimikyu and A-Ninetails, so since I knew I was slower than both, I led with Pelipper.
Ended up being the Mimikyu lead and I U-Turned out of there and then sent out Kartana. afterwards, he switched to Garchomp which got killed by Smart Strike and Leaf Blade. Turns out he brought both fairies and rage quit once he realized I had Smart Strike.

>>30817070
Take a Muk and Crunch it away. It tanks Moongeist Beam like a boss and Lunala has to use non stabs to get to it.

t. Lunala user

ps: felt good beating a Garchomp/Aegislash jap

>>30817692
I think I just fought the same Jap.
He led with Alolan Ninetails, then had an Eevee. I one-shot both of them. He brought out a Mimikyu, it used Swords Dance as I knocked its disguise off, but I couldn't finish it off since he forfeited.

>>30817173
>this kills the memekyu

I just finished Hyper Training my Pheromosa and Celesteela and just had my first fight. Very easy, a jap with Eelektross, Primarina and Metagross.

Hopefully I can manage with the team I got.

Im not going to play online until pokebank comes out, only because the npc that checks ivs is in the battle tree and i don't want to go there yet because i want to battle red's full team with my old Heart gold team

By the way anyone knows a good way to run an impish infernape, it is not the ideal nature but it is also not really bad

Thanks to hyper training i wonder if there is any way i could use my old infernape from diamond at least a bit more competitively

The only fucking attack I ever used was Tackle and I was using a fucking Leafeon for Christ sake. Now I understand why people hate fucking stallfags

Wat

>>30818552
It can be found via Island Scan
makes sense

Isn't Zygarde wicked OP?

>>30818612
greninja with max special attack evs takes care of that in one hit, im not even sure if it needs all 252 to take it down

>>30816920
Raping people with my Lunala.

>>30818607
Yea, but the only non-alolan dex mon allowed is greninja

>>30818683
No

>>30818683
untrue, i fought so many aegislash

>mfw lost a battle because of turn one Guillotine
Won 11 of the 15 battles though, so overall pretty pleased.

>>30818689
>>30818717
I thought that non-Alolan Dex Pokemon weren't allowed as well. I hatched a Shiny Honedge the other week; would've used it if I known I could.

>>30818717
>>30818689
Sure you're playing in the "battle of alola"?

>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.
I haven't played it myself, but this seems to imply what i said

>>30818827
>I haven't played it myself
if you actually played it you would have seen all the japanese aegislash, i thought they werent allowed either until i saw a wave of them

Saw a guy with Zygarde and Greninja

He only took Greninja to battle, but I thought the 1 special limit was to the whole team

>>30818926
Greninja isn't a special Pokemon.

>>30818946
Makes sense. Good thing I prepped a Golisopod just to kill it.

What pisses me off is all these Aegislashes.

>>30817884
>Eevee
Why? no items can be used

>>30818926
special pokemon are solgaleo, lunala, zygarde, and necrozma. magearna might also be counted as special, dont quote me on that though
>>30818965
you know my pain
>>30818978
they are probably lying

>>30818965
I must've been really lucky, because I did my 15 battles and didn't see a single Aegislash.

>>30818978
Probably a kid that was using his ingame team

You can't use held items in Battle of Alola

Are we locked to the same battle team for the duration of the event or is it changeable?

>>30819117
didn't read the two warnings before you were allowed to enter?
Yeah you're locked in until it's over.

>>30819059
another lier in this thread, what did i expect?

Is late so I'm stopping for today. Won 9 of my 10 battles, the only loss against Aegislash. My fault, I should have brought my Garchomp to take it out.

Hopefully I can keep this streak after I return from work.

>Think my team was going to do like shit
>Already won 2 battles

Holy fuck I love this.
I had some flinch luck on my side but holy fuck

>>30819059
>Megas

Fucktard


Also, Salazzle is my MVP. Salazzle weakens or sweeps the other team, Greninja takes its place and cleans up after Battle Bond

>>30819008
Same. Lunala was the biggest problem for me.

>>30819449
To counter Lunala, your own Lunala, or two Pokemon that can outspeed. So far nobody has outsped mine yet.

had another Jap quit on me, I guess they like fairies a little too much and realize it counters their whole team.

sweeped a literal child with persian.

felt kinda bad, but one shotting solgaleo was pretty based

Day 1: 13 victories 2 defeats.

freaking Speed ties between Solgaleo and Lunala.

>>30817557
Does Psychic Terrain block Triage then too?
I guess it makes sense but I never thought of that.

itll block the draining kiss. this just happened to me too, but top lel saved me. won that fight but lost next game to a toxic sub roost salamence

>>30820506
Draining Kiss counts as a healing move? Doesn't Comfey have access to Giga Drain too, does that work the same?
