I wanted to upload my battle against Colress, however:

"This battle video can not be made public"

This only happens when the NPC's pokemon has an illegal moveset, meaning the game legitimately cheats.

It was in super doubles, with him running:

Alolan Muk
Porygon 2
Metagross (mega)
Clink Clang

Any of you know which of his pokemon has an illegal move? I wasn't paying that much attention.

And the worst part? I did manage to beat him and scout him for multi battles, but if his first two 'mons were one of the illegal ones, I won't be able to save a single battle video with him as a partner.

Good job gamefreak.

Just beat Red with a really stupid switching strategy that would never work against a normal human player. I could have PP stalled his Snorlax with it if I wanted to.

>>31036150
Thanks!

Is Spikes/Whirlwind Skarmory into StealthRock/DragonTail Garchomp too gimmicky?
Also, the AI 100% for sure makes teams that counter your first mon, so I'll be running into a lot of mono electric/fire which is good for the latter

I'm on a 42 streak on my very first attempt but I'm calling it a night for now. For God's sake, use mega salamence if you aren't already.

I am teaming up with a Veteran who has Mega Gardevoir and Mimikyu for super multi battles.

I have Lele-chan and The flying disc of balanced meta.

Every enemy team is filled with almost nothing but Poison, Ice and steel types now.

Can I swap teams mid-streak?

>>31036358

Hello, my name is anon
I'm building a team with Golisopod as the lead, Skarmory as the second, and _________ as the third
Please help me fill in the blank

Do the special trainer themes actually play in Battle Tree, or did people just find the music in the game data after datamining? Other than Red I've never heard any of the old music when battling Dexio, Colress, Wally or even Guzma

>>31036945
You need to have the default trainer music selected when battling.

>>31036724
Try alolan Persian with Z Parting Shot. Golisopod will inevitably switch out due to his ability, you can use Z Parting Shot to switch out Persian and fully heal Golisopod for more Emergency Exit shenanigans.

Just beat Red at 50 and I'm up to 60 now. Using Nihilego, Scarf Lele and Mega Gyarados atm but I feel like switching Lele out for another revenge killer.

Also managed to scout a Shell Smash Komo-o Veteran with a Mega Latias lead fuck yeah

>>31036686

For fighting types I guess since it's weak to fighting

Was running some ideas of teams and did some Google work to find someone saying you can't have a clear smog A-Muk until bank. People are lazy as fuck sometimes and just write things off without even trying to figure it out, which isn't that difficult.

Whoever got to 50 with Doubles, please post your teams/strats and any tips/observations you got from playing.

Been doing Tapu Koko + Oranguru Discharge spam, which does the trick most of the time but if they get taken down I struggle to really recover as the other two are just my Single streak mons which don't really synergise.

I dare you to have a more stupid fight than this one. I quickly maxed out the shadow ball PP after this fight. Would have saved me some trouble.

>>31037099
What hold item do you recommend on A Muk?
I've seen Ass Vest, but one of my mons is already running it
Figy Berry equivalent with Gluttony seems good, but Poison Touch with generic Black Sludge also seems great

this is some bullshit

>>31037230
I've literally never seen Hypnosis miss in the tree
Literally

>>31037138
personally I'd run sludge

Lele-chan is absolutely disgusting I can't believe Gamefreak let this pass, she practically handed me my singles stamp. I gave her Specs and I swear the only things that lived a Psychic without a resistance were the Snorlax, Dusknoir, and SOME Gastrodon.

>>31037113
What are you running on Top Kek? Specs or Life Orb? Or something else? I'm down to steamroll another stamp with another Tapu of balance.

>>31037262
>having fun steam rolling AI with the strongest non-legendary in the game
Why tho
I'm not even a Karenfag saying you need to win with Poliwrath or something

I am currently training up a combo that I saw on here.

Regenerator Toxapex with

Scald
Recover
Toxic
Haze

What items/EVs should I put on it? It has calm nature

Mimikyu, already trained with 252 Atk and 252 Spe

What moveset/items should I use?

Tapu Koko: I don't know at all what to use on it or if I should even use this.
I also have a Xurkitree but it might be too slow.

Thoughts?

>>31035495
How can I view this video?

>>31037272
Because I want the stamps and simply want the most efficient path too them.

Also it's surprisingly fun to just watch Lele crush everything.

>>31037284

Gg skrub

>>31035941
This shit is why I'm breeding a clear smog muk

>>31037262

Life Orb, though actually Specs is probably better because Instruct will proc Life Orb twice and the downside of being locked into a move is irrelevant if you're relying on Instruct.

Actually I will do that and then I can move Life Orb to Reuniclus and use him.

>>31037043
It gets foul play as an egg move, you'll need to breed foul play AND parting shot onto a Pancham and then breed a Meowth.
Foul Play is 95 base power, gets a STAB boost, and punishes Pokemon that try to boost their attack, plus you don't need to invest any EVs in attack.
I run toxic, taunt, foul play, and parting shot. You'll be taunting and using parting shot mostly, but foul play will hit hard against physical attackers that Alolan Persian has no problem with thanks to fur coat.

>>31037515
Could be good
That's probably a little more viable than the Krookodile I was planning on running, and about as viable as A Muk
Will do

>>31037528
I've run assault vest A. Muk alongside A. Persian before since I don't have recovery on Muk, but I didn't like having two dark types.
But yeah, Persian is great at taking on physical attackers, and you can taunt walls, parting shot them, and watch them do pitiful damage to your Golisopod with their lowered offenses.

>>31037328

Which two mons?

>>31037113
This was my team:

Kartana @ Focus Sash
Hardy
Beast Boost
-Leaf Blade
-X-Scissor
-Smart Strike
-Sacred Sword

Pelipper @ Wise Glasses
Modest
Drizzle
-Soak
-Blizzard
-Hydro Pump
-Hurricane

Garchomp @ Groundium Z
Jolly
Sand Veil
-Poison Jab
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Iron Head

Salamence @ Salamencite
Jolly
Intimidate > Aerilate
-Dragon Claw
-Return
-Brick Break
-Earthquake

I know it looks like shit, but it worked.

Kartana and Pelipper lead, Drizzle activates and weakens Fire attacks while boosting Hydro Pump and making sure Hurricane never misses. I fully invested in Pelipper's HP and went half/half with the remainder on Def/SpDef. Focus Sash works as a fallback measure in case Kartana would've gotten OHKO'd anyway (unlikely from most Physical Attacks). Pelipper actually hits pretty hard and tends to stay on the field a good while. Rock types weren't too much of a threat with Kartana there and the general low-accuracy of Rock-type moves. The Electric-types I encountered would easily be cleaned up by Garchomp.

Blizzard is there in case an opponent changes the weather to Hail. Rarely used it, but it worked when it needed to somehow. Soak would be there if the opponent sends something bulky that Hydro Pump or Hurricane couldn't do much against as Kartana's Leaf Blade would then be super effective. Kartana normally takes out at least 3 mons before it goes down too. Sometimes I go full matches without losing either lead.

Most Ice-types I encountered were leads as a result of the CPU's response to Garchomp and Salamence being on the field at the same time in the previous match so they're easy pickings for Kartana.

Mega Salamence there to deal with other megas and Garchomp's Z-Move helps me take out hard-to-kill stuff without endangering my Kartana should those two end up on the field at the same time.

>>31038241
>>31037113

Even better if you weren't an idiot like me and got a Kartana with an actual Beneficial Nature.

So I'm making a team right now that I remember being posted here, except I don't remember much of what the move set for each Pokemon were.

Garchomp Jolly, sand veil (never managed to get one with rough skin) 252 in Atack and speed, 4 in def, I Don't know what Item I should give him but when I get enough points for a Garchompite il buy one for sure.
>Dragon claw
>Earthquake
>swords dance
>???
Kartana, Adamant nature, 252 EVs in attack and speed. Dont know what the last 4 EVs should be in and I don't remember the item
>Sacred sword
>Smart strike
>Swords dance
>Leaf blade
Mimikyu, Jolly with 252 in attack, speed, 4 EVs in def, Item is either red card or Life orb.
>Swords dance
>Play rough
>Shadow Sneak
>Shadow claw
Don't know if I should replace one of Mimikyu's moves with Taunt since I'm guaranteed to face a stall mon.

>>31037113
I used this http://pastebin.com/mm7ZuXtU and won most of it with tbolt spam with Koko and Xurkitree

>>31037515
Aside from obvious Speed EVs, do you dump the rest into SpDef or HP?

How good is Ash-Greninja in the tree?

This mother fucker right here, has cheated me out of so many runs.

He either always gets a convenient critical hit, or somehow dodges a move that has 100% accuracy. Each of these things being the ONE THING that causes me to lose.

Fuck you Colress. Fuck you Battle Tree.

After losing track of how many times I lost somewhere in the 40s due to some RNG bullshit, I finally managed to get 50 in Super Singles, and I didn't even run into any bullshit along the way. Last battle I swept Red like the bitch he is. Man it feels good to finally get that fucking stamp.
Team I finally won with was
Specs Modest Tapu Lele
Scarf Jolly Garchomp
Jolly Megagross
Wish I hadn't had to resort to that but the tree gave me no choice, anyway what's a good team for doubles? Preferably one where I could use some of these mons.

Scout him out, and make the Battle Tree eat its own hax.
I did all 70 Multi Battles for the stamp with him.

Why does your AI partner suddenly become extra stupid when they are on your side?

It's like they deliberately work against you and do not want to win.

>>31040277
Dunno, man.
Wally was a weak piece of shit when I went against him
And his Scarfchomp wrecks shit
Most of the time, sometimes he does stupid shit
But I guess it's my fault, the Pokemon i use don't allow it to use E-quake

Trick Room Bronzong is the fucking worst. It's a pain the ass to deal with it, and it never does anything significant.

I run a Pheromosa@life orb as my opener with Tapu Fini@leftovers for when I need to dig in as a wall, and Leafeon@Choice Band as my switch-in when I need the other two to abandon ship. By the grace of god Ive managed to scrape through to 15 battles with them but I think I need to make a change.

I've got a Porygon-Z@Normalium that's ready to go but I'm wondering if I should find a better wall than Lele instead of the replacing Leafeon?

As for battles, I accidentally saved a loss where I completely dropped the ball and deserved to lose, though I don't have my 3ds on hand with the video code.

>>31040379
Sorry, better wall than Fini*

Lead with Megamence and Koko and let them do their thing most of the time.
Ice/water types or anything with ice beam/blizzard as leads? Switch salamence out for Primarina and let her deal with them.
Either one of the first two faint? Throw in the wolf and spam no guard rock slides for decent damage and flinch hax.

I really love Mega Scizor in Battle Tree. It basically autowins against a bunch of stuff because HP Fire isn't a thing and it's so bulky. I wonder what I should run with it though. I was using Kommo-o and Primarina, but it had a speed issue and ended up losing after a streak of 61.

In Doubles, if Colress' last two Pokemon were Mega Metagross and Muk, will he have them in his team when I Scout him for Multis? Or does it only grab his first two Pokemon?

>>31039944
That's bull, but for the little that it's worth: I liked your nicknames

>>31040714

>>31040734

>>31040714

First two Pokemon they send out. Always check serebii for movesets since they carry multiples of the same mons. For example, you want Colress's Mega Gross but don't want the exploding one.

So how much BP do you all have on hand? 775 here after buying the power items, choice scarf, choice specs, Assault vest, and Salamencite.

Daily reminder that if you could'nt handle taking all hits as crits it's because your are weak

Word of advice. Use serebii trainer list to know what to expect
http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/battletree.shtml
and this calculator to know the EV spreads and nature
https://turskain.github.io/

So I'm gonna be using Shiinotic + Corsola since they cover each other perfectly aside from Steel (and not having any resistances/weaknesses to Bug, Psychic, Steel, Rock, and Ghost). Any thoughts for the last? Aegislash covers all but Ghost, which it can (hopefully) still remove with WP and Sneak. I was also considering AV Togedemaru, which can Nuzzle and Zing Zap Ghosts to death since all Physical released ghosts are shit anyways.

>it's another trainer leading with Abomasnow and Mamoswine of four in 10 games

I mean I am relying on Discharge + Instruct with M-Salamence, the fact the game is entirely spamming hard counters in perfect combination back-to-back is just confirmation bias

When in doubt, use Tapus and UBs. Literally just got 50 victories in Single Battles, first time trying this team:

Tapu Koko @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Grass Knot
- Volt Switch

Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Shadow Ball
- Psyshock

Buzzwole @ Assault Vest
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Leech Life
- Brick Break
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

It's a really cool team that puts in a lot of work. I'll try to get to 100+ with this team while waiting for Pokebank and my old Maison bros who are currently stuck in Alpha Sapphire. Before that I'll go for the Doubles tho with two Tapus and two UBs. Let's see how broken these guys really are.

Other than shenanigans like this my set up sweep persain works well. Send out first, make a decision on whether or not the opponent is worth setting up on. If not, parting shot out of there. If yes, boost and dominate.
That didn't hapen this time but I can upload other footage of that if you want.

is megamance better than multi-dragonite?
i'm running aegislash and tapu fini as well so i guess they'd be interchangeable.

still only at 20 streak, haven't had much time to keep going.

>>31043449
Timid for max speed. It's more important to go first with her since a lot of enemy mons will be able to one shot her. Timid Specs Lele with Max IV/EV in Special attack still hits like a nuke.

All the anons waiting for the pokebank to update next week, what kind of teams will you use for the Battle Tree?

>Implying it will be next week.

I imagine late January. I'll most likely wait until people make QR codes for teams fine tuned for the tree.

>>31045017
Speaking of qr codes, where are they? Google search has gotten me no where with actual teams, just info on what they are.

>>31044954
Mostly just the ones who I've already prepared from gen 6.
I imagine mega gaurdevior will enjoy the support from a charjabug, although the clefairy I've been using her with also makes for great support.
I'm surprised more people don't use friend gaurd clefairy.

I recommend using Modest Scarf instead of Timid Specs. You need that Speed from Scarf and with Modest nature you hit insanely hard while still outspeeding everything relevant. Source: I'm this guy >>31043881 and currently sweeping in Doubles with the same set. I can't imagine any set being better than Modest Scarf.

Still looking for a good item for my Kartana, I feel like Focus Sash would be a good choice so that it doesn't just get fucked turn one cuz the other mon used a fire move. Any thoughts?

...Also is there a faster way to reset ev's? I'm getting tired of the berries

>People think they are actually getting hard countered.

As someone who leads Hydreigon, it is not a coincidence that I fight mono Ice for between a third and a half of my opponents, and that is with no exaggeration

>>31047555
Depends on your teammates, but lum berry helped out the most for me. there were lots of pokemon that tried to confuse or paralyze it, and its attack is high enough without life orb, especially after it gets a KO

haven't tried focus sash on it myself, though. I didnt bother because I switched it in to tank a physical hit now and then

>>31047728
Fair enough, but for the moment my life orb is being used by Tapu Koko.

My current strat is to weaken/kill first mon + weaken second with a Golisopod, get that safe switch and easy cleanup with Kartana, and roll that Beast Boost all the way through. My life orb Koko is for when Kartana may go down.

>>31047584
I'm surprised it took so long for them to even try to hard counter me. It took 61 games for them to run a Togekiss which kinda runs over my team.

>>31047134
>Whats a good nature for Mega Metagross?
Jolly
>What about Dragonite?
Adamant

>>31047555
I like Sash Kartana but I've only used it in Doubles so I can't say what would be the optimal item for Singles.

So much bullshit and it's just on Normal Singles.

>>31047807
I see adamant dragonite recommended everywhere, why never jolly? any other DD user wants more speed

>>31047780
It isn't smart enough to know specific mon counters, but definitely goes for typing counters

Really, all you have to do is make your 2nd and 3rd strong against your leads weaknesses
Mono weak teams get punished and lead sweepers can't do as well unless they can brute-force it like M Salamence, but that's it

>>31034713
I just saw a shiny Hippowdon. Did a double take for a second, didn't even know trainers in the tree could have shiny Pokemon.

>>31047849
xurkitree with tbolt/energy ball/hp ice has insane utility in singles

>>31047864
probably a female hippowdon

>>31047849
I suppose I've seen that. I put Kommo-o as my lead spot, seems like I come across an assload of lead mons running Will-o-Wisp, Thunder Wave, Yawn, Charm, basically anything that'll cripple it and force a switch. I run Lum Berry so it doesn't really do anything but it's noticeable.

>>31047584
People who are getting hard countered have shit teams. The team building process should ALWAYS begin like this:
>Pic a strong lead
>Pick something that counters your lead's counters
There, now it doesn't matter if you get "countered". This should be obvious to every player out there.

>>31047848
Dragonite really wants all that power, especially since 80 isn't a very good Speed tier. Also, there's not much that outspeeds +1 Adamant Dragonite but doesn't outspeed +1 Jolly. The only relevant Mon that I can think of is Aerodactyl, but even that one likes to run Scarf on Battle Tree so it outspeed you anyway. Go with Adamant, there's a reason why it's more popular.

>>31047962
I see, thanks. makes sense

>>31047780

Probably because it didn't know Togekiss counters your team. The AI understands basic favourable type matchups but sometimes misses obvious choices because it's checking weird criteria.

Moves is one thing it checks. I run Electric coverage on two mons in one of my teams and suddenly I am getting a fuckton of Ground types. Suddenly my run was easier because I could still hit them for high neutral damage even if they "countered" me, and they were running Ground types over Steel types that actually did cause more of a problem.

This is also another reason M-Salamence is good in the Battle Tree, though people might not realise it - the AI doesn't know what Aerilate does, so it assumes your Normal move is just a Normal move. You'll get lots of Ice, Rock and Steel types - but also WAY less Electric types that can outspeed and paralyse you, which would appear if you used an actual Flying move.

No doubt if you had enough experience you could find out what hard counters your team, then run "coverage" in any unused move slots to trick the AI into not using it. You could use garbage offensive moves you'd never need in practice (like Zap Cannon) and the PC would interpret it as a threat to avoid.

Similarly, Megas that change typing or change the properties of Moves can also expect to have an advantage.

Well I made it to doubles 50 again in the hopes of seeing colress to scout him. No luck...To infinity and beyond this time I guess.

Your choice. 189 speed vs 172. Jolly puts you at 120 speed vs Adamant's 105.

Beat singles and doubles with jolly.

I fought Wally twice in one tree run, once as at 10 and then again at 20. Second time he mega evolved Altaria whose mega stone isn't even in the game

Kartana
Tapu KoKo
Mega Menace

Or

Toxapex
Garchomp
Mega Scizor

Or

>>31049348

Mimikyu, Mega Mence, Tapu Lele.

Well, I mean between the two I posted. I know Lele is great, just not really interested in using her yet.

>>31049435

You ended the post with another Or so I assume you wanted other suggestions.

Any ideas for monotype bug teams?

I actually got a streak of 45 in doubles. Buzzwole and Ribombee were incredible together. Unfortunately as my backup, I just had araquanid and bug silvally, which were decent, but weren't enough to save me from the threat that steam rolled the first two.

Which nature would work best for a Multiscale Dragonite with Dragon Dance in the Battle Tree. Adamant or Jolly?

>>31050989
Either is fine if you're investing into speed

I don't know if it's the same, but back in Black and White I used a perfect Garchomp to get a 100+ win streek and he did it solo for the most part. Not sure if you can still do that.

Hey /vp/, I haven't really played post game shit like the Battle Tree since Pearl's Battle Tower. Is it so impossible that I pretty much have to breed Pokemon to get far or is it doable with the Pokemon I beat the Elite 4 with if I grinded levels without the Exp Share?

>>31051724
You don't stand a chance in super singles. Regular singles is doable if your team is good. Good natures and EVs will help a lot of course.

You mean trick room? If you lost kartana against mega gardevoir I just dunno what to say.

No, Oranguru actually did something that Psychic Terrain became active because I led with Tapu Koko and then the terrain changed. I don't know what because I wasn't paying attention.

Oranguru died and then Gardevoir used Psychic and killed Koko, Severely wounded Kartana but died against Gogoat.

>>31053848
Oranguru can actually learn Psychic Terrain as an Egg move. Anon just got fucked by RNG.

I'm having a tough time pairing something with my megamence and porygon2. I'd been using alolan marowak but I'd prefer to patch up the common rock weakness.
I'd considered conkeldurr but no mach punch or tutor moves. I'd also considered magnezone but it gets no moves and I'm not breeding for hidden power. Would prefer not to use legendary or UB, don't feel line SRing.

Cynthia's Togekiss

Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature

- Sacred Sword

I like using Leftovers because if I'm dealing with the right opponent, I can spend a couple of turns using KS/SD in shield form to tank some hits and get some HP back.

I haven't tried Lum Berry because I ran Lum DD Dragonite and the battle tree has an item clause. King's Shield won't block any status moves so it does sound like a solid choice.

Sacred Sword was used over Steel STAB because it has better neutral coverage, ignores defense/evasion boosts and lets you hit dark types SE.

I've got life orb Garchomp and Red card Mimikyu made

Will anything work with them or do I need to start from square one?

Does Specs Tapu Lele Deal more damage with a Terrain and STAB boosted Psychic that hits neutral or with a Shadow Ball that hits super effective?

The only good Multi's partner I have is Wally with a Mega Gallade and worthless Garchomp who rarely attacks. Cynthia sucks and I'm too lazy to redo the Singles tree hoping to find a good Cynthia or Colress. What teams spawn them anyway?

>>31055335
You could go more offensive with a few of the megas instead of garchomp

>>31055453

This is the problem with all-sweeper teams.

You steamroll through 29 games, then you're in the 30s and 40s where a single piece of hax or deliberately placed bad match-up throws you off and you lose all momentum.

It's pretty much ideal (and time-efficient) to lead with Megamence and Tapu Lele, but I like to leave tanky fuckers with their own sweeping specialities in the back. I got to 67 with Mimikyu and Reuniclus as my back-up who could shit over enemy sweepers with Boosted Priority and Trick Room, I only got memed by walls.

It also goes that if you let the opponent move more instead of annihilating them off the bat, it puts you at risk of being memed by their bullshit but you can also learn what strats they use, and tailor your movesets more to deal with them.

General consesus seems to be scarfed and modest.

Ok, so I wanted to make a battle video public to share with you guys because its one of the funniest things I've ever seen in the tree right? Well, I can't for some reason. Why is that?

>>31057524
Something the opponent used with an illegal moveset. Was it the shell smash Kommo-o?

Going around catching Ultra Beasts in Sun. Already fucked up Nihilego, but that sees no use anyway. I have a Careful Buzzwole, but for Xurkitree and Kartana, what natures do I want? Not just for Battle Tree, for competitive in general. I have Abra for Modest, Jolly, and Adamant.

>>31057571
Jolly Kartana for maximum fast.

Thinking of using the Z-Conversion Porygon Z set. Would Ghost or Electric be a better type to switch into overall?

>lost streak at 67 due to thunderdoge
Fuck.
Partially my own fault because I spaghetti'd like mad, but fuck Trick Rotom-Fan and fuck Thunder proccing Para twice and getting FP'd twice.

This guy >>31043881 here again reporting back with my progress. I went to Doubles with two Tapus and two UBs like I said and got 50 victories on my first try. The Alolan legendaries are fucking broken and make everything a piece of cake. Anyway, here's the team. I very much recommend trying it out if you're having trouble: http://pastebin.com/a3gJDVbY

>tfw was about to share a really cool victory with you but "This battle video cannot be made public"
Fuck off Game Freak.

Well, at least check this out:
ZVJW-WWWW-WWW3-JPF6
The enemy AI doesn't understand Misty Terrain AT ALL. I love Tapu Fini. Such a great Pokemon to use in the Battle Tree.

Next stop: Multis with Cynthia. Let's see if the Alolan legendaries can keep up their impressive winning streak. I'm bringing Tapu Fini and Buzzwole with me.

>>31057719
I was gonna call you out for not using Specs but then I did some calcs.
>252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Togekiss: 186-218 (96.8 - 113.5%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
Togekiss has some serious bulk.

>>31057689
Switch it up when "suddenly" running into counters.

>>31057801
Does the game understand Z Conversion that much?

>>31057810
Not really, but if using thunderbolt a lot, I started getting bulky ground types

>>31057810
It most certainly doesn't. You can play around with the enemy AI using stuff like Protean, Z-Conversion and Megas that change typing. The AI most likely tries to beat you with Fighting-types if you lead with Porygon Z so I'd definitely have Shadow Ball as the first move if I was using one.

>>31057839
Huh, interesting.

I've just faced a young athlete ayden on the streak 10 instead of one famous trainer. He had a Typhlosion, Gallade, Hawlucha. Not even a mega

What the fuck

>>31057847
Something that works great for me is keeping Hyper Beam as a nuke if converting is not favorable.

>400bp attack followed by 300bp attack

>>31057867
Was it in the regular Single Battles instead of Super Singles?

>>31057879
Super Singles. Thats why its weird

Did you save the battle video? Are you sure you weren't in battle 9 or 11 instead?

>>31057927
That's what you get for playing poorly and not attacking a Pokemon that you could obliterate with Thunderbolt.

>>31057938
Nope. I didnt even knew you could save after a Win, but I'm sure that I'm playing on super singles and it was the 10th streak

Next time I see him imma do it

>>31057801
Try Ice with Ice Beam. You get a good BoltBeam core that way. If they start bringing Ground-types, Ice Beam; if they start bringing Steel and Water-types, then go back to Thunderbolt. Throw Dark Pulse or Psychic on there as a final coverage move (I'd recommend Signal Beam, but it just doesn't have the power; Focus Blast doesn't have the accuracy, but it might still be good against specially defensive Steel-types) and you're good.

>>31058060
dude, the joke is to leave space for z-conversion

unless you mean change porygon-z's moveset every few battles

>when your Mimikyu survives a potentially streak-ending Physical Z-Move with 2 hp left, then shadow sneaks for the win
>you remember you almost settled on training a Mimikyu with only Fantastic Defense IVs, but decided you were going to commit to perfect defensive IVs
>you remember it has the leftover 4 EVs infested into Defense

I've rarely run into scenarios where Minmaxing so blatantly proves itself, but that was one of them.

Daily reminder not to settle for anything but the absolute best. I'm proud of you for not being a wuss.

>>31057534
No. It was Gourgeist, regular Golem, and mega Sableye. My team was Kartana, Machamp and Primarina. I use smart strike on Gourgeist and as expected, it doesn't knock it out even coming off a life orb adamant STAB move.

It uses trick room of all things. I switch out to Machamp to try and take advantage of the room myself and Gourgeist uses explosion. Machamp tanks it surviving with little under half health. Golem gets sent in and I use protect to get the leftovers recovery and to stall out the trick room as much as possible.

The Golems first fucking move was also explosion. But because I protected it did diddly dick to me. Then the Sableye comes out and I switch out to Primarina and the Sableye mega evolves and fake outs me. Annoying but not broken. That's when the trick room wore off and I moonblast the fucking thing.

I barely even had to do anything the whole fight.

>>31034713
I finally got to battle 50 and red swept me with his mega x

>enemy Blissey with calm mind and ice beam
>Megamence doesn't do enough damage and gets OHKOd
>Other two Pokemon are special attackers and can't KO Blissey

If my Megamence knew double-edge instead of return I probably could have won.

Just won a 50 streak in super double battles. My leads were Tapu Koko and Garchomp along with a gyarados and Tapu Lele. Uh, pretty basic all offensive and yeah pretty good team if you wanna try for the 50 streak, only trainer that gave me some trouble was the one with the eeveelutions.

Good luck with you Battle Tree exploits friends

>People still having trouble getting gud
>Meanwhile I'm already done with the tree on both games

Lost to a Mega Alakazam that traced my download, and raised his SpA. I'm just gonna wait for bank now.

Unlocked all Super modes only using Ninetales-A (Aurora Veil), Porygon-Z (Thunderbolt Z-Conversion), and filler for any remaining slots. While I haven't attempted Supers yet, I can only assume I'll need to replace my very uncompetitive filler.

What would go nice with Ninetales-A and Porygon-Z? I was thinking Mega Salamence just to brute force things Singles and some other powerful filler for Doubles. I'm open to suggestions.

I just lost a streak at lv 38 because a M-Metagross outsped my M-Salamence with 252 speed EVs, 31 speed IVs and jolly nature. There were no speed changes.

How the fuck is that possible?

>>31059475
>How the fuck is that possible?
It's not. If you whine, you post the battle video as a proof. Otherwise there's something you forgot. Maybe a previous Pokemon used Tailwind or dropped your Speed when you were not paying attention, or maybe you fucked your Salamence's EV training. Who knows?

>>31059681

>>31059735
I can't believe you actually wrote that.

Anyway, you're damn sure I'm calling you a liar because that's a fact. The game is programmed to work in a certain way. If Pokemon A is faster than Pokemon B, A will go first under normal conditions. This is in the game's code. Now you come here claiming that B went first in that situation and have zero proof to back up your words. Like I said: if you whine, you post proof.

I feel like my biggest enemy is strong water types. A Mega Swampert in the rain memed all over me with Waterfall. Even Specs Tapu Lele could not kill it in one hit.

Which Pokemon can be a good bro against water and still hold its own against other types as well?

>>31059475
...did it use Bullet Punch?

>>31060070

Just run Electric or Grass moves in any unused move slots, that tends to shoo them away.

I got stalled and swept by an Avalugg that managed to get 6 curses up. Kinda my fault because I made a pretty half assed team. After that I promptly went to go breed up a proper team.

Jolly definitely. M-Metagross has a great Speed tier and you want to have advantage of it.

Maybe not the most spectacular seeming battle but I was so happy to be done putting up with my partner's terrible ai. The fight could have gone a whole other direction but we managed to come out on top.

They both don't stand a chance against my team but the same Infernape and Ambipom sets are annoying and a waste of time
