second for
post your aces

>No Tapu's

Pretty hard for limited teams like electric,but I dig it, since Tapu Lele is the new OU.

Also >>31072223
It doesnt jelp when your opponent is ground type

>>31072291
Electric won't get paired with ground in the group stages. You could very well face them in the bracket though.

GG Bomie, you destroyed me.

Anyone else want to battle.

GGs 1st game was super close.Gastro had a 100% chance to live a +2 attack but a shadow claw crit could have changed that.

>>31072424
drizzle pelliper is insane, wish i had a cloud 9 user just to fuck you up. Great team you got.

>>31072384
Also thanks for the Araquanid suggestion a while back.It's been infinity better than Golisopod and now my team feels nice and flexible with the only exception being Slowking.Slowking is still the odd one out but I'm determined to figure out something and bring him along.

>>31072471
when I hit it with knock off I don't think anything was knocked off, do you not run an item? I run choice band on mine, click liquidation, and hope for the best typically.

>>31072332
So wait, how does the group stage work? Is it just everyone of the one type fighting each other or something?

>>31072493
Z-Crystal

>>31072499
You will get put in a group. You are given a deadline of when you need to play certain players in your group. Players with the best results move on into the double elimination bracket.

>>31072533
So why won't ground be grouped with electric?

>>31072449
TY so much Anon you are fuckign awesome will remember about the showdown format in the future

>>31072545
SE vs NE STABS.

Only in the groups though.

>>31072591
So grass and rock won't have to deal with 5 types of teams?

Oh my

>>31072612
Not effective is very different to not very effective.

>>31072676
Oh, whoops

>>31072689
So it's just Dragon vs Fairy, Ground vs Elec and i swear there is one other.

>>31072700
Dark/psychic

>>31072700
>>31072708
That's the one.

>>31072708
I believe normal/fighting vs Ghost doesn't either but I could be wrong

>>31073024
I couldn't imagine normal vs ghost would be banned, and if fighting/ghost was banned then so would every other immunity matchup

Hey guys, I'm not gonna battle in this tournament but will there be another post bank?

>Undecided between poison or electric

JUST

Especially now since I am loving Alolan Raichu, but salazzle is what I have been waiting for.

>>31073341
Go poison.

>>31073341
There are already three Poison users and only two Electric users.
Take from that what you will.

Just bred myself my first ever shiny while preparing for this

Competition is already based

>>31073577
Are you telling me to be a hipster or that poison>electric for now?

>>31073701
whatchu get senpai? pics or didn't happen

>>31073175
Very likely that there will.

>>31073723
Too bad it's hidden power type is steel. May have to try a pure grass offense, on the other hand there's a few ice and fairy users here that I could try smacking it with.

>>31073827
Lilligant is my favourite Pokemon so it had to have a nice ball.

>>31073833
I can't wait to get my shiny charm.

>>31074147
I don't have the shiny charm, and I wasn't even using Masuda method. Thanks RNG gods.

>>31074153
Oh wow. That's pretty solid odds.

>>31073714
go electric

Shit I just remembered that parting shot and memento are both messed up and unusable on battle spot because of their z moves. Are they kill for flat battles too?
Pic related

>>31074542
I think they work in link battles, not battle spot.

>>31074558
Fingers crossed I won't have to do a last minute change

>>31074599
There was no time frame for it to be fixed was there?

Would this team work for mono electric?
I had to replace Tapu's and UBs to make it work, so I am open to change.

>>31075161
btw, replacing magne with Vikavolt

>>31075161
That's most of my electric team but I don't have electivire or eelektross because electivire can't get ice punch prebank and eelektross relies way too much on tutor moves imo

But if the team can hold itself on a 6 vs 6, it should be decent enough to do flat rules

How do you deal with electric types mate?

Alolan Marow kicks my ass everytime

>>31075609
Emolga or Oricorio any good?
Lanturn would be ok.
Switchins for EQ would be super handy.

>>31075640
I tried Oricorio, does not work. Lanturn as well.

Good moveset for flying rat?

>>31075656
Never used one.

Has access to taunt and encore though, which can be strong. Knock off too maybe. Not sure about distribution this gen.

>>31075672
hmm..

After some testing, I might as well use ghost.

Only mono I have some luck with right now

>>31075640
Emolga is good for nuzzle support and BPing. Also has access to encore and taunt.

>>31075871
You really need to battle some of the people that have their teams about ready in thread.

Game changes immensely when it's 3v3 and monos.

Go whatever type you like though.

Is grassy terrain alright as mono grass or is the fact that it heals the opponent too much of a disadvantage?

>>31079786
not that good imo
grass is not usually a great attacking type and you already resist EQ

probably the worst of the terrains in this setting because psychic gets to not care about priority and electric makes 90% of their mons immune to/not care about status effects since they're already immune to paralysis, most are special attackers and won't care about burn and the remainder can't be put to sleep while standing on electric terrain

>>31078931

Just breed it you fag. I have the same moves on mine and it took me less than half an hour to get one with 5ivs.

>>31086905
Got a minior set i want to play around with.
Easier to edit or just have it injected?

>>31086954
Injecting is easier, since I don't have to turn off my 3DS and put the SD in my computer.
Though, if nicknaming ability and ownership (ID and OT) matter to you, it'll be better to just edit one of your Pokemon.
What do you think?

>>31086992
Only the nickname is important really.
Should i post the set from smogons teambuilder?

>>31087082
Make it in Showdown, then export as text.
Add your nickname and your IGN.

No problem.

Back to thinking of whether I should use a wall, and whether it should be Walrein or Lapras.
>tfw no avalugg

>>31086905
Haruka-ka!

>>31073714
either, honestly.

>>31087840
Walrien is groovy

What are some of the op types for this format?

>>31088025
None are OP.
There are several strong ones though. Flying, Steel and Dark are normally pretty good.

>>31088054
Flying just gets access to so many type combos the lucky buggers, though I'm not actually sure how many there are pre bank.

>>31080032
>using specs nature power whimsicott to abuse priority energy ball

Oh hey, apparently anybody can inject now with homebrew being available on any version. Go check /hbg/ on /vg/ instead of lurking here.

Random tip: You can base some of your choices on how many [type] entrants are in here.

>>31089344
wowee.

>>31089344
I just prefer not to hack, even if it means I miss out on this go around. I enjoy the struggle. It makes me love my bros more.

>>31089344
I would like to breed my pokes, but as I am now, I might lose the deadline.

>>31089960
Then at least let an injectfag make you a 6IV Ditto.

I just get the ditto and go from there.

I figured everyone else does it that way so I just decided to do it that way considering this is also my first tournament. However after seeing the error of my ways im gonna inject from now on, because breeding is pointless. Already sending the file to the root in my sd card

>>31090656
I just meant why 6iv?

>>31090756
I have problems haha... Yeah I have like 5 boxes of breedjects with 5IVs but my autism wont let me accept any mon that doesnt have perfect IVs. I need help. But now I have CFW!

>>31091868
Oh hey, didn't I already inject an entire water team for you yesterday?
Give me a few minutes.

>>31091886
Yea but i found out there were a bunch of pokes that were in the game i didnt know about. So i'm doing some trials on what to keep and what to pull

>>31091886
After him, do you mind injecting a team for me?

>>31091868
>gyaradosite

>>31091910
By the way, I'm not sure if Mega Stones can be traded.
I'll give your Gyarados something else for now, then try giving the Gyaradosite to some random shitmon.
If it won't work, you'll have to farm the Tree yourself.

>>31091910
Oh, Outrage isn't available on Gyarados.
It's a tutor move from ORAS.
What do I replace it with?

Wouldn't it be better to wait until the actual tournament feature is added?

>>31091948
ok np i didn't know i'm currently still beating the game while doing a nuzlocke for the first time beating it and it is going slowly as you'd expect.

>tfw you want to make a team but the only mons you have competitive ready is a tapu lele and celesteela

im not sure what do you think would be best?

>>31089344
>Homebrew being available on any version
where in the general does it say that because Im not seeing it.

>>31091968
wot

>>31091969
And Superpower on Carracosta is a tutor move as well.
Replacement?

>>31091940
Post showdown text.

>>31091970
Taking injection requests right here.

>>31091995
I'm not really sure either.
How about DDance?

Works on all non-JPN 3ds's.

Thank you my friend. I now have something to do tomorrow. Hopefully I can help with future injection requests here to give back.

>>31092021
I'd ask for injections but I still need to build a team, and I'd rather just inject it myself but I'm updated

heck me up

>>31092057
Alright, get online.

>>31092088
On Thanks again fore the help. Wouldn't have been able to get in this tourney without you

>>31092106
No problem.
i do hope i last more than 5 seconds in the actual tourney though

>>31092183
You'll get about four games minimum, i think. Which is double the minimum games in the previous format.

You could use this as a testing tournament for when bank comes out, to see what works and what doesn't.

>>31092021
Still there mate?

>>31083575
good taste

>>31091968
What tournament feature?

>>31093052
>>31091968
Pls respond

bamp

Any injectors around?

>>31091968
They haven't given a release date yet, beyond "January."

If it comes out in time, maybe we could use it for the double elimination bracket. Assuming it is worth a shit, of course.

Guys, what can a Rock team use against Gastrodon?

>>31094939
Usually? Cradily.

But in this specific season? Pray

>>31094939
Normally, Cradily.
But Pokebank isn't out, so your best hope is probably a special attacker with HP Grass.
I'm having the same problem with Scizor as Ice myself.

>>31094939
I suppose you could try sudowoodo with wood hammer, or something like Z solar beam minior

>>31094939
sudowoodo

remember earth power is a transfer move for gastrodon.
