Battle Tree General

>>30978907
First for only scrubs think that battle tree cheats

Anyone got a nice Doubles set for a timid magic bounce espeon ? I dont know if I should go for offense or screen support, and it seems to be pretty bad in doubles anyways. Rest of the team is dhelmise, bewear, offensive sylveon.

I dont even like Espeon but my boyfriend only agreed to play multi battles with me if I bred him one...

>final battle against Red
>Leading with Kartana
>Red sends out Charizard
>"I could switch out, but what if..."
>Use Sacred Sword
>Charizard turns into Mega Charizard X
>Sacred Sword kills it

I also had a Garchomp that could've easily killed it, but it felt good predicting the AI like that

Should I go with 252 atk/252 spe or 252 hp/252 atk on my adamant Marowak for the battle tree?

Is Oranguru-Mudsdale a good combo?Setting up a Trick Room and murdering everything with Instruct Earthquakes/Rock Slides sounds fun.

>>30979178
HP

what are the best partners for mimikyu in singles?
and who are the best partners in multibattle? I dont have friends...

>>30979798
I used Mimikyu as a lead. Swords danced almost always first move and just tried to inflict as much damage as possible. Swept often.

Other two teamates were Garchomp and Mega Metagross, those two cover each other pretty well. Hit 50 EZ PZ.

>>30980802
Sounds good, but also like physical walls can screw you over. I tried going with a special kommo-o but always lost around the 30s. Thanks for the advice

>>30980943
Something similar happened to me yesterday. Some videos can't be uploaded because there's something illegal about the opponent's Pokemon.

>>30980965
You have to wait a day.

>>30980827
The idea is that by having 3 hard physical hitters like that, one wall wont stop you and the tree didn't really try to.

>>30980943

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught this bullshit.

>>30979011
yeah, later on in the tree, if it can mega evolve, it will

if i'd known that about gyarados i would've saved my 44 streak

>>30980802
what is "gengar used hypnosis, gengar used dream eater"?

>>30981903
That happened to me.
MegaMetagross woke up un the low yellow and earthquaked it.
The RNG has been kind to me.

Yesterday Primarina swept Cynthia while locked into Ice Beam.
The first hit froze her mega lucario, who stayed frozen for the three turns it took for primarina to finish it off and then take an earthquake and murder garchomp.

Mimikyu, Megamence, and Tapu Lele got me the singles stamp.

What team is everyone liking for doubles?

Kartana or Mimikyu as a lead for EZ 50?

I stopped at 20 to breed some more pokemone and grow more berries, but I'm wondering if Kartana may be better, since I keep running into BS leads, like Sash Gengar or wild charge Snorlax

>>30982068

Mimikyu, the A.I is bad at dealing with disguise.

Is Minior actually good? I'm thinking of training one.

>tfw lost the very first battle

embarrassing desu.

was expecting shitmons for the first 10 or so rounds though, not a fucking blastoise

is it generally better to use bulky and slow mons in multi, or fast sweepers? I cant get past 15 and its infuriating, some direction would be nice

>>30982423
>tfw fought Dragonite and Altaria on my first battle
>Not one effective STAB
>Loose without knocking out a single pokemon
And now here i am, refusing to enter it again until i've atleast bread a few decent pokemon.
And because i apparently have autism and really want that 6IV eevee, i'm not going back there anytime soon.

I haven't even touched the battle tree yet because I don't really play that often, but is the AI really as bad as people say?

What has happened to some of you?

>>30978907
I was this fucking close to getting bodied by a fucking Milotic that kept Recovering and using Confuse Ray
I had to literally PP stall the fucker because I was down to my last Pokemon, and it was a Golisopod
In the end I won, and I'm so fucking proud of that victory you have no idea
I'll post the code for the match later, so you all can laugh at me, because it was my fault that it got that close

>>30982332
It's very good
With Shields up, you are completely immune to status.

>>30982517

There's alot of bullshit in the super singles, Normal Singles is fine, but you can only go up to 20.

Just going to try and get to 50 for the stamp and im done.

>>30982332
White Herb Shell Smash Minior can take you far
Not very, but far enough

>>30982517
There are some bullshit sets like choice scarf Pinsir with Guillotine or quick claw Walrein with sheer cold. There are a lot of Pokemon that hold brightpowder which can be pretty annoying too.

>>30982517
There's some heavy bullshit
Worst I've had to deal with is Trick Room and continous Sleep and other status conditions

>>30982563
>>30982577
I want to go very far. I'm thinking about bringing Minior, Tapu Lele and Salamence, and go all offensive in singles.

>>30979178
I've had more luck with 252def/252spd/4attack w/Thick club so that way he can actually survive a hit. His speed is slow slow he's not going to be outspeeding anything and with no defense investment he's basically just fodder.

>>30982635
White Herb
Choice Specs/Terrain Extender
Salamencite
Best items I can think of, make sure to bring as much coverage as you possibly can
If the Tree sees an opening, it'll fuck you up

>>30982517
Hypnosis has about 90% accuracy when used by the AI, and heat wave about 20% when used by you.

>>30982517
I actually don't think the AI is that bad, but you're bound to eventually find that one team that fucks you in the ass because it happens to be a perfect counter to yours, so you always need to be prepared for the worst. Also all pokemon have items and they're EV trained and possibly have perfect IVs, so if you're not going in with properly trained mon you're already at a disadvantage. Finally, the more you progress, the more likely it becomes to face megas, competitive pokemon and even legendaries

So if I hyper train at 100, do the increased IVs still apply to level 50s in Battle Tree?

>>30982517

The A.I is retarded but they use a lot of luck bases sets which are guarenteed to fuck you over at some point.

>>30978907
I recognize that weavile

>>30982669

Yes.

>>30978907
>Super Singles
>Battle Dexio
>Leads with Turtonator
>Turtonator uses Shell Smash once
>THE MOTHERFUCKER OUTSPEEDS MY PERFECT IV JOLLY MEGA LUCARIO

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK FAMALAM

>>30982677
Speaking of which, have you guys ever seen the AI being completely idiotic?

>Gourgeist uses Pain Split three times in a row letting me set up Swords Dance three times
>Megamence uses Return on my Mega Lucario despite the fact that Earthquake could've easily killed him

>>30982772
WITH 252 EV IN SPEED TOO FORGOT TO MENTION

>>30982657
Those sound great. I'm inclined to use Terrain Extender on Tapu Lele because being locked by Choice Items doesn't sound good at all.

I'm thinking
Minior: Acrobatics, Shell Smash, Rock Slide, Earthquake
Tapu Lele: Psyshock, Moonblast, Calm Mind, Thunderbolt
Salamence: Double Edge, Dragon Claw, Fire Blast

I'm unsure whether I get DD or Roost on Salamence. On one side I have used Roost on Megamence in 6th gen and it did save me a few times, but DD is DD.

>>30982775
Any AI that uses substitute will continuously use it even if they lose that very substitute in the same turn, it's funny

>>30982032
I beat most of super doubles with tbolt spam using a Tapu Koko and Xurkitree lead. A flying type is good backup when you expect an EQ.

Here's a couple of replays to show what it can do.

Holy shit, that first KO was literally the caricature of RNG people talk about when they mention battle tower hax.

Also, inb4 reee mega lopunny, I just needed something that wasn't megamence, and it's arguably less broken, so it isn't really an issue.

Do you get anything special if you get the stamps?

>>30982859

You get a throwing style for getting one, getting all 3 is just so you can say you did it.

>>30982786
If Turtonator has benefical nature and max speed investment it can outspeed a M-Lucario after a SS, even if just barely

>>30982924

That's for getting a streak of 50, not the stamp. The distriction is there so you know you can farm them.

>>30981039
I hope it isnt too late to ask, but what item are you running your garchomp with? I though of using LO but I already have mimikyu hoarding that item

>>30983078
Garchomp is best as either a Scarfed sweeper or a Rocky Helmet tank
It's almost funny that his Mega is often seen as a bit worse because of its speed

>>30983126
scarfed seems like the best option then, thanks. Could it run a band set though? or is it too slow, even if its jolly?

>>30980943
Why doesn't Kommo-O get this? Beyond not having a shell, of course. More directly: Dragon/Fighting with so few fighting-type moves.

>>30983195
Either he was planned to get it during development but they changed their minds when they realized how broken a pseudo with shell smash could potentiality be or he's getting it from a tutor later.

>>30983183
It can work, very few NPCs actually have scarfed pokemon so it will still outspeed a lot of stuff. Personally I just use Dragonium Z since Z-Outrage can OHKO most stuff while not locking me into a move like regular Outrage or the Band

>>30982775
>Weezing pain splits me

Fucking Cynthia on multi battles is the most useless cuny I ever had to deal with
Her Togekiss doesn't know any Fairy moves or Aura Sphere, and she would just keep spamming Pain split on her retarded Spiritomb
What the fuck kind of champion are you fucking bitch?

>>30983602

One you knowingly recruited

>>30983652
I just one shot all of her Pokemon first time I fought her
didn't even know what moves they had
And had I known i would've skipped her

>>30983677

Yet somehow this is her fault

>>30983602
Her Mega Lucario swept me, I was unprepared.

>>30983752
the only "boss" character that has beat me has been anabell with her bullshit legendaries.

Ive been running a meme male salandit in doubles. Been working fairly well.
Timid, max hp and speed evs, @eviolite
Moves: poison gas, venom drench, protect, overheat.
Gets recovery from teammate comfey.
Poison gas poisons two at once, venom drench lowers atk, spe atk, and speed all at once. Just poison everything and keep lowering stats while comfey boosts and heals.

That could work.
A-muk is slow and might not outspeed the opponent after the first venom drench but the bulk would be helpful.
This is a meme set already though. I was just trying to work in a set for male salandit.

Anyone try Espeon in the tree? Does Magic Bounce fuck up the A.I enough to make a sweeping set viable?

>>30987217
Well fuck, that's what I get for not double checking, I guess leftovers is more usefull, the AI in the battle tree spams thunder wave consistently, but rarely if ever does it go for will-o-wisp or other annoying statuses.

>Huge epidemic where many battle videos can't be uploaded

Only tangentially related, because I've only ever seen this in the Battle Tree, but has anyone ever noticed that Sunny Day (and maybe weather in general) to be glitched? I've seen it twice that an opponent mon sets up sun only for a partner to come in with Cloud Nine that for whatever reason doesn't clear the weather. It's kind of nice because then for the rest of the battle the other mon keeps trying to set up sun and failing due to it already being on the field.

>>30987239
Wait, did I say leftovers? I meant life orb lol
I'm mostly just worried about sleep, but I also need to be able to kill people

>>30987584
most sleep users will either be pokemon you'd be switching out of regardless, like crobat or amoongus, or some janky shit you wont see coming. Prioritize outspeeding and killing stuff over sleep imo.

I'm thinking of using it, I have a Modest one and a Bottle Cap. Is that good?

>>30987920

Try to stick to outright offensive in facilities or else getting decent streaks will take way to damn long.

I just died at round 40 in Super Multi because I didn't expect Plumeria's Toxapex to be carrying Ice Beam for my Megamence...

Multis is suffering

>>30987963
Hm, so no Leech Seed/Protect shenanigans, I guess.
I see now Celesteela has great physical STAB in Heavy Slam. Maybe Modest isn't that good.

>>30986912
I went first for 2 turns, then went second. It wasn't quick claw or sneak.

We'll, I'd give Pex the Sludge in general so that another mon has the chance to run leftovers.
But yeah, trick shenanigans aren't happening in battle tree, but why not just build the best build you can?

>>30982332

No, unfortunately. Too many weaknesses, and having shell up doesn't lever your defense high enough to make use of anything.

>>30989503
For what it's worth, Minior got me through all of Regular Singles with not much effort

>>30982660

You can set teams up so that's their counters still aren't good enough to take you out.

Figure out what counters your team, and set your team up to deal with it. The only time your "counter" shows up is because you didn't see it coming.

>>30982775

Yeah, for as much bullshit there is, there's just as much sheer idiocy that works in your favor.

>>30989207
Tapu Lele, Garchomp, Mega-Metagross was what I used when I ran into Colress multiple times.

I think the game wanted his Magnezone to mess up my Lele.

Scarfchomp is a total dick. Use one and see why.

I just really wish the missing mega stones will be put in the game, M-Sceptile + Discharge Koko seems like a devastating combo and I really want to try it out

>>30989269
It was only long thanks to that stall vaspiqueen. They're usually a little slow, but in like the 15s, not the 50s.
Normally, while salandit is lowering the threat, comfey is boosting so it can make a sweep. The excadrill was too much of a threat to both for that to work.

>>30987920

I kept Celesteela on my team to deal with counters to my offensive mons. Came in handy many times and netted many wins. People forget that Celesteela still has good offenses besides the bulk. Use them.

If you fight Cynthia and she has her Spiritomb, the fight basically becomes 2vs1 in your favour. That thing just keeps using Pain Split until it either runs out of PP or you are extremely close to dying.

This is how I feel too, all the missing megas were the fun unique ones. I mean seriously, what even is left? Half of them are just physical set-up sweepers. I want loppuny's unresisted stabs, and medicham's insane power, and ampharos' amazing hair.

>>30991754
EVs at least are mandatory imo

>>30991300
This is one of the main reasons I like having Colress as a partner for multi battles. Both of his Pokemon only have damaging moves so I don't have to worry about him doing something stupid like that.

>>30991754
EVs are very important and you should at least have a perfect speed/relevant attack IV

So is it possible to scout the same person again? Like, what if I wanted to change the 2 pokemon that the person used? Just run into them again in singles/doubles?

>>30993284

They will always attack whoever is ahead or who they can outright kill. Carry a priority move and protect.
In my experience, Scizor is great at Battle Royal.

>>30993756
What's your moveset on it?

>>30993284
At least you only have to win each rank once and each try only takes a few minutes. Getting to round 40+ of the battle tree and losing to RNG is much worse imo.

>>30993809
Protect, Bullet Punch, Swords Dance, Thief, Life Orb.

>>30993284
I will never understand how people have trouble with the battle royal. Don't use pokemon with x4 weaknesses and make sure your mons can take a hit. Priority helps, isn't really necessary, I've won loads of times using shiinotic/turtonator/gyrados or silvally or weavile, I really just pick whatever at this point.

I wish I could figure out how to get the masked royal to show up, I've only seen him join a battle royal once and i can't find any info on it.

Why do you fuckers like Mimikyu so much? Play Rough hits with the accuracy of fucking Focus Blast, oh my god.

>>30997071
I haven't tried it but I assume Lum Berry + Disguise lets it get several free turns to set up or just KO at least one thing.

>>30997109
This exactly. I have been running that and mimikyu can often kill all 3 mons, if not I fall back on Garchomp to clean up the last couple.

>>30997109
It does, but often times I'll use play rough after getting free setups and then it'll miss and this shitty little fucker is dead as dirt. It's shockingly frail for having such high defenses.

>>30997071
Yeah this is one of the reasons I've avoid using it. One miss is all it takes to fuck me over with that accuracy and I don't plan to take that risk

Is Jolly required on Kartana? I had moon but managed to get an adamant one over GTS by sheer blind chance and I don't think I'll get a jolly one in a similar way.

>>30997285
Yes, unless you go adamant scarf, which is ill-advised given its easily-countered move types.

You could also go the timid 19 ATK meme set that gets speed beast boosts and relies on swords dance for ATK

>>30997482
Do more singles until you encounter Colress, scout him.

>>30997071
I cant think of a more realible lead desu, Free SD with lum berry sweeps alot.

However I tried Kartana with sash and I kept dying from burns or other BS. Think I might go with a bulky lead but havent decided who yet.

>30% to flinch

>>30997482
Does the Mega Metagross have Earthquake? Use mega salamence, it's a good partner to anything that has it and really just blows through everything. Hell, I'd reccomend it even if it doesn't have earthquake, just wreck face with two of the most broken megas of all time.

>>30997547
So just lead with Megamence and Megagross?

Any moveset ideas for the Mence? I have an Adamant one right now with Double-Edge/Earthquake/Roost/DD

I should swap out Earthquake so I don't kill Metagross, but what would be a good other move?

>>30997529
I can think of one, Megamence wipes the floor with Mimikyu as a lead, even Minior is more reliable with its immunity to status and more versatile coverage.

What's better for the tree? Jolly or Adamant scarfed Garchomp?

>>30997592
How is Pheramosa as a lead? I know Minior would be great actually. thinking about also getting a tapu off the gts so i can just beat this bull.

>>30997677
Fuck off Wally, you've already ended two runs with that stupid scarf'd Garchomp of yours.

I run literally the same Kartana as my lead and it's ridiculously powerful. It can destroy 75% of all opposing pokemon in one hit.

>>31001970
Do you lead with Mence or Fini? I have a similar layout I was gonna test out since the Mimikyu keeps getting fucked over by status (even though it has a lum berry) and bullshit flinch hax.

What's a good partner for M-Alakazam for Super Doubles? I'm tired of using Tapus and Mimikyu so anything but them would be great.

My M-Alakazam is Timid and I'm going to use Psychic/Psyshock, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball, and HP fire or Energy Ball depending on its partner.

Is it just me or is it much easier to win in Super Doubles than Super Singles? I feel like it's because in Doubles it's a lot more strategy based and the AI is retarded when it comes to actual strategy.

I'm able to make it pretty far in the tree with my Alola Ninetales and Alola Sandshrew lead, I rarely even have to bring out my other two pokemon. The only time I lose is when the Battle Tree pulls bullshit like having Earthquake miss 3 times in a row because the opponent was holding bright powder.

>>30999846
She can set up on every non-SE special attacker I've found so far. It's risky, but I've never lost a game where she can get a QD up.

Finally beat 50 Super Singles, pretty psyched.

Megamence
Atk+Speed
Adamant
- Double Edge
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Thunder Fang

Mimikyu w/ Normalium-Z
Atk+HP
Adamant
- Splash
- Shadow Sneak
- Play Rough
- Toxic

Reuniclus w/ Life Orb
Magic Guard
Sp.Atk+HP
Quiet (0 Speed)
- Psychic
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Trick Room

Salamence is overused but I pretty much understand why now, Intimidate + that speed and power in one package is pretty hard to pass up. The recoil on Double Edge made him Ice Shard bait, but I had two bulky fuckers to back him up.

Other observations
- Z-Splash ignores Taunt. This has sold me on using it instead of SD + Life Orb.
- Salamence apparently broke the law or something because I had about 12 policemen turn up to fight me. Since they're all rock users it makes sense.
- Reuniclus is sorely underrated. That bulk, that power, almost nothing can outspeed it under Trick Room and nothing can survive more than two hits from it.
- Running Trick Room with a fast sweeper on your team seems like a bad idea, but more than a few times Salamence ended up paralysed and I could bring it in under Trick Room and then it would act first.
- Running Thunder on Reuniclus was better than Shadow Ball, as Salamence attracted lots of bulky water types with Ice moves and Reuniclus punished this super-hard. 30% chance of Paralysis is very useful and very few situations called for a Ghost move when I already had Mimikyu
- However having two electric moves attracted more bulky ground users like Hippowdon, all with Curse sets which are fucking dangerous since Reuniclus can't deal with them...
- ... they died to Toxic. Having Toxic on a sweeper with only two attack moves seems weird, but it literally saved my entire run a few times. Carrying Toxic is worth it.
- FUCK Veterans. Almost lost to Mega-Latias at 49. Even with Mimikyu, their other legendaries take more hits than normal and it really ruins your momentum.
- Cheating to see what Red's mons use is worth it.

>>31003009
I lead with mence, but I often have to switch on turn 1 since opponents start leading with counters to it. Fini and Aegislash can deal with Mence's counters very well, especially after intimidate.

>>30997071

Mimikyu is about revenge killing, boosting up and then just spamming Shadow Sneak since very few mons can survive more than two hits from a 2.5x damage boost (SD + Life Orb, or Z-Splash)

Play Rough may be Fairy STAB but you literally only use it against walls or against normal types as a plan B, maybe Dragons if you reckon it's worthwhile. If you're running a Lum set and using Play Rough as your main damage output, you are setting yourself up for dissapointment.

I just lost to Blue on battle 50 of Super Doubles. Mega Arcanine with Iron Head OHKO Top Lel and Arcanine outsped the rest of my team.

>>31005240
In all honestly you had it coming. Your entire team is too passive, Mudsdale is too slow, Goliospod is good for two turns it out, and Kommo-O isn't all that powerful even after a DD. Run more offensive mons. A better special attacker if that's what your Kommo-O was doing. You can always run sub on something to.

I wouldnt happily lose 20 damage from play rough for 10 extra accuracy

What are some good pokes to cover me against the few asshats in battle tree that run double team?

>>31004975

I feel the opposite to be honest, the Battle Tree is a war waged against crazy bullshit that could jump out at any moment.

Singles give you time to switch out into counters with minimal punishment, and they come one at a time so you can offer all your attention to one target - in Doubles you have two sources of nonsense to contend with at the same time, allowing one cunt to cripple two of your monsters at the same time, or something you missed just comes out at the worse time and you're even more in trouble.

Then again I suppose Doubles offers more abusive strategies from a smart player, so it balances out, it's just when things go wrong in Doubles they go REALLY wrong and your ability to adapt and respond is about the same as in Singles.

>>31005614
Try Kartana. Smart Strike hurts.

>>31005598

Shadow Sneak with Life Orb + SD is a 100 damage STAB move coming off respectable offenses. Shadow Claw is even better.

Play Rough is secondary on Mimikyu, so use your ghost moves. I even considered replacing it with some different coverage because the AI Battle Tree will just straight up stop sending you anything that's weak to Fairy eventually.

>>31005675

And what if they send out a normal type?

>>31005614
Z-moves can't miss, so you could save one for Pokemon like that

>>31005598

I swapped life orb for fairium-z for this exact reason. It's a less useful set against real people but in battle tree having a 100% accurate 175 BP fairy move that can bypass protect once per 3-man-battle is more useful than the overall damage increase of lifeorb, especially when you have fuckers spamming double team and protect.

>>30987073
Just inject it

>>30979005
Your boyfriend has amazing taste.

I'm currently running A-Ninetales (Aurora Veil and Encore mostly), A-Marowak (Physical big dmg) and Tapu Koko (Electric Seed + Thunderbolt + Dazzling Gleam + Calm Mind + Roost). Did very well in regular singles, going to start super singles soon. Rock types do give me a bit of trouble, though. Would it be viable to switch Koko's moveset to Specs/Thunderbolt/Dazzling Gleam/Volt Switch/Grass Knot? Or would a Life Orb set be better, with Calm Mind instead of Volt Switch? Its HP is Dragon, so that's not amazing to run.

>>31006170
Rid yourself of the first two for more aggressive attackers. Ninetales is too weak and Marowak is too slow.

If I Swords Dance with Mimikyu, and the opponent uses something that doesn't break the disguise, is it generally better to SD again/until it's broken or just go for the kill?

>>31006242

I usually just go for the attack next turn and then if it didnt quite kill go for shadow sneak

>>31006465

did you lead with Fini or mence? I actually haven't used any of the Tapu's yet. I'm assuming you lead with Fini for the misty Terrain

>>31006559
No, I lead with Mence. I often have to switch on turn 1 because they lead with something that can OHKO Megamence, but Aegislash and Fini cover Megamence's weaknesses really well. Intimidate from regular Salamence is really useful for later on in battles too.

My specific team is here >>30987898

>>31005690

Use Leech Life or Wood Hammer.

Both 100 accuracy moves with decent power behind them.

The point is just because Play Rough is your physical STAB doesn't mean you have to use it.

>>31006242

I think if you take longer than two turns to do anything that's not offensive then you're just opening yourself up to more trouble than it's worth.

Most of the Battle Tree mons consist of irritating combos or stupid RNG rolls that are more dangerous the more time the opponent has to use them - so you should treat every turn as crucial. What's great about Mimikyu is that you basically get a "free" turn, but even so I would try to get on the offensive as soon as possible.

UB's and Tapus. EV train either through SOS battles or Pelago. I got about a 30 streak in Super Doubles just mindlessly pressing attacks. My lead 'mons got me through the regular Doubles pretty easily.

>>31007209
Which items do you need? I can give you some of the items if you want. I have a ton of spare BP.

>Blizzard out of nowhere ruins me
>Confuses Pyuku with another hurricane but able to Toxistall it to death
>Rotom is next
>Thunder wave

>thunder bolt
>Dead without being able to even toxic it or do anything but soak

I am completely livid.

I don't wanna use UBs, god dammt.

About to attempt the Super Tree for the first time, team idea:

Minior, ADAMANT full speed n attack, 4 HP, the stat fixing herb
Shell smash, Acrobatics, Stone Edge, EQ

Golisopod adamant, max attack n HP, 4 spdef, Assault vest/Life Orb (Can't decide RN)
!, Sucker Punch, Aqua Jet, Leech Life

Mega Mence, Adamant, max attack n speed, 4 HP, intimidate on regular mence
Flamethrower, D dance, return, EQ

I heard hyper offensive can work since most teams will just have one or two physical walls.
Point out all the shit I'm doing wrong here and recommendations.

>>31007541
I run Sucker Punch instead of Leech Life on Goli. Is Leech Life worth it over Sucker Punch?

>>31007341
The thirties are a real pain in the ass, after that The memetree just starts throwing legends at you if that wasn't enough.

Hope you enjoy being flichhax by landerous

>>31005515
I'm just pissed I can't just pass all berries from gen VI. I don't want to bother doing it again.

>>31007825
i've heard people swear by leech life for the sustain and reliability. i've got plenty of priority already

>>31007924
Got it, thanks.

>>31007690
Why are you using flamethrower on Megamence, especially with an adamant nature? If you really want a fire attack use fire fang, but there are still better options

>>31007541
Switch Aerial Ace for Air Slash on the sword? Air Slash counts as a special attack, not to mention the 30% flinch might save your life.

>>31007971
aegislash is slow as balls, though, and aerial ace is a guaranteed hit for minimize spammers

>>31007968
a lot of mons with monstrous defense are weak to fire special, like avalugg and ferrothorn

>>31007971
Aegislash can't learn air slash

>>31007968
Pretty much entirely coverage. For ice and potentially other counters.

>>31008042
>>31008015
Shit forgot. Good points.

As for general competitive purposes, has anyone gone with
Porygon-Z @ Normalium Z
Adaptability
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest
IVs: 0 Atk, 31 on stats that matter
- Protect
- Swagger
- Thunder Wave
- Hyper Beam
You just open with Breakneck Blitz to OHKO, then T-Wave Swag the next mon if you can, switch out to something else, and keep Porygon-Z alive with Hyper Beam in reserve. Or just use it immediately on the next mon, and hope it hits.

>is it much easier to win in Super Doubles than Super Singles?
I beat singles in one try.
After 2 weeks I have yet to get the 50 streak in doubles
I FUCKING HATE DOUBLES SO GODAMN MUCH

I have the wrong nature Tapu, and I can't seem to get a decent one from the GTS.

am I screwed over or is it doable for the tree? It's lax fini

>>31008228
People eat up Chansey on the GTS, try using those as bait

>>30982775

A Golisopod with an eject button made me laugh

Done singles, going in for doubles. In honesty i've almost never committed to the Doubles gameplay, so i'm a bit lost for where to start.

Was thinking Tapu Koko spamming Thunder whilst + Pelipper spams Hurricane with both field effects up, but I don't see that combo often in these threads so I guess it's not actually that useful in practice?

I know Oranguru is amazing, but I don't know what it would best pair with.

Any success stories?

Need help making/finishing a team. Here's what I've got so far.

What should I do?

>>31008673

- Your Golisopod doesn't need Poison Jab. It DOES need priority, so breed Aqua Jet on to it, or use Sucker Punch.
- Poison Jab is better coverage for Haxorus than Iron Tail. Last move should be Earthquake
- Why would Garchomp need Crunch? Give it Brick Break or Stone Edge

In general your thinking regarding coverage is lacking. For example you choose Iron Tail on Haxorus to cover both Ice and Fairy, but actually you can still hit Ice Types for high STAB damage with Outrage, use the more accurate Poison Jab on fairies, and then Earthquake for Steel types including Klefki who would otherwise wall you.

Happens to me often as well. I had a Lapras set up Rain Dance against my Marowak (which I kept in since I didn't want to switch anything else into a +1 Surf or Hydro Pump), only for it to use Thunder. Not sure if it even had a water move.

Other times the AI will just try to Thunderbolt it two or three times in a row.

>>31007690
It's worth it to run mixed Minior, if only so you don't have to deal with the absolute horseshit accuracy of Stone Miss. That will end runs.

Anyone feel like shit catching the tapus? I know they are required if you want an easy time beating the tree but it still feels messed up capturing the guardians
