Battle Tree Mons

I'm at the fucking part where I need to use ingame mons to get the EV Training items
So Golisopod, Kommo-o, and Incineroar

Eh everyone knows the movesets.

super singles 50s with Megamence, Koko, and Primarina

Super doubles 117 forgot to megaevolve with the same team above plus Lycanroc Night.

Still trying to figure out a solid third, but A-Ninetails and Buzzwole are doing some solid work. Currently also running Xurkitree, but no doubt need something in its place.

Choice Band Scyther, classic set with Brick Break instead of superpower

Life Orb Gengar, timid
-Shadow Ball
-Substitute
-Sludge Bomb
-Focus Blast
Probably gonna switch sub with Destiny Bond

Dragonite, lum berry, Multiscale
Adamant
-DD
-Outrage
-EarthQuake
-Steel Wing

Undefeated in all my 51 long runs

Curreynly doing super doubles. With the farmhand and her shell smash water/rock type whos name i cant remember.
Im wondering if i should just keep using koko as a lead with life orb.
And have a focus sash kartana or focus sash pheromosa as back up.
All have standard sets.

>90% of the time lose to first opponent
>high score is 4
>team is full of disorganized types and blindly picked moves

How the fuck do I reach 20
Somebody help

>>31100147
Are you using Good EV trained pokes or just picking random shit from alola thats over level 50

>>31100255
I've just now started to do that

Before I was just picking mememons
The tree is still bullshit whenever I run into ice

>>31100317
Pick a fire type then. Use A Marowak with Shadow Bone, Bonemerang, Flare Blitz/Fireblast/ Thunder/

ev train the mons or you wont get past 15

>>31100081
Anyone actually have any suggestions for this? I'm a bit stuck as to what to slot in. Fire types are, as you'd expect, an issue, and not really sure what might be good to fill that role.

>>31100858
alola marowak would have good typing synergy with those two. Marowak overall is very good because of it's typing (7 resistances, 2 immunities). And thanks to thick club you can make it bulky and it still hits hard as fuck and has a good movepool.definitely look into a-marowak

>>31101429
Will do. Also considering Midday rock dog, but STAB Fire is something I certainly could use as well. Thanks.

Literally just use z-hypnosis Xurkitree

If it's a ground type, put it to sleep and then switch out to stallasteela

>>31101554
Stop with this meme.

>>31100034
i dont know em, send help

>>31100081
Mimikyu, Togapex, Aquanid can be a fun play

>>31102196
What are people running on Aquanid? I've seen it a bit, but not terribly much myself. Liquidation, Leech Life, and what else? Just type coverage?

>>31102223
I haven't used Araquanid much, but I can't imagine Leech Life is better than Lunge. Leech Life off of 70 base Attack isn't going to do shit.

Worst fucking part is, I can't upload the video for all of you yo see. But it was an incredible shitshow let me tell you.
I literally actually got cheated out of my streak because of RNG bullshit

They're the same base power, and I enjoy being able to heal up a bit with each hit.

>>31102399

>>31099977
I have more BP than I need.

Super Singles: 200 wins
Drampa, M-Scizor, Lele

Super Doubles: 50 wins
Bulu, M-Meta, Toxapex, Snorlax

Super Multi: 50 wins
Koko, M-Scizor
paired with partner Entei, Terrakion

>>31102471
In hindsight, I should probably give Oranguru a Lum Berry to hold
That team was working wonders before that fight, I think I would've had a pretty fair chance of breaking 50 battles
But yeah, fuck everything. I'm not mad, not a lot, I'm just disappointed that the Tree has to actually cheat to be able to beat you.

>>31102635
Sets for your Doubles Team? Also, general strategy?

>>31102654
you probably should be using inner focus oranguru

>>31102689
Yeah, but telepathy is too good to pass out on, free earthquakes and discharge

>>31102750
telepathy is a meme and doesn't help you against RNG. plus spread moves are weaker in doubles and you generally need to prioritize targets anyway, and you have instruct. inner focus is better.

>want to get an unaware pyukumuku for the tree
>have to chain mons who do harm you with every one you KO
>even if you use false swipe to minimize the damage you take, they can counter and still fuck you

My plan is to swords dance until false swipe will leave them with 1hp, unless they're unaware. But counter is a bitch.

>>31102798
I know that moves that hit both opponents are weakened by 25%. Are moves that hit both opponents and your ally, like earthquake, also weakened?

>>31099977
The wire, Manlet dragon and japanese paper.

>>31102798
discharge has a 30% chance of paralysis.

>>31102844
yes

>>31102857
>relying on RNG in battle tree

wew

>>31099977
I beat Super Singles and got to 65 with
Mimikyu @Lum Berry, Jolly
Garchomp @Choice Scarf, Adamant
Toxapex @Black Sludge, some defensive nature

>>31102688
Bulu was Ada Scarf
Wood Hammer, Zen Headbutt, Superpower, Rock Slide

M-Meta was Jolly
Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Hammer Arm, Bullet Punch

Toxapex was Bold Black Sludge
Scald, Toxic, Recover, Haze

Snorlax was Careful Figy Berry
Double-Edge, Crunch, Curse, Recycle

I play hit hard wall hard for Doubles. Snorlax is a good last mon standing if the others start going down. Toxapex stops opposing setup mons and can click Haze the same turn Meta goes for Hammer Arm to nullify drop. Bulu's Grassy Terrain removes EQ weaknesses of Meta and Toxapex. If opponent leads threatening Fire types, I either try to go for a kill or switch both out into Toxa and Snorlax to wall. I'll post a replay of how to deal with Fire if you want.

470KB, 335x288px

Okay /vp/, here's what I have available:
- Jolly SD Mimikyu
- Jolly Metagross (No Mega Stone yet)
- Jolly Decidueye

I'm working on:
- Adamant Salamence (No Mega Stone)
- Bold HA Toxapex (Is Haze worth it? Have one with 6 IVs already but no Haze)
- Adamant Scizor
- Timid A-Ninetails

What's the ideal team here? Any non-legendaries I should focus on to fill gaps? Trying to rack up some BP to get good items.

>>31102888
No i'm saying you don't want oranguru to get paralyzed without telepathy.

>>31102934
Yes please
I'm open for every possible strategy

>>31102951
i'm saying you shouldn't be using telepathy discharge anyway, it's an unreliable gimmick

>>31102940
Haze is a fucking godsend
Saved my asshole from losing to a +2 Quiver Dance Volcarona on super singles

>>31103005
Yeah, but Telepathy Instruct allows for the use of double discharge which essentially negates the weakened part of the move.
It may be a gimmick, but fuck it works charms

>>31103037
it doesn't negate the part where you get flinched to death, and could use instruct thunderbolt to much the same effect.

>>31103067
Okay, fair enough

>>31103006
Shit, yeah I figured. The extra IV isn't worth it. Actually just got fucked over by an Araquanid anyway and this would be the perfect counter.

Great, thank you

last time I'm gonna ask because I don't want to be annoying but can I get some tips for my rain team?

looks like it'll be:

pelipper@damp rock

how's this look?

>>31099977
I'm at the part where I need to buy a Destiny Knot to start building a team. Problem is, I need 48 bp to buy it, which I can't get reliably until I have a decent team with decent IV/EV, which is why I need the knot in the first place. Oh and also ev training tools...

>>31103456
Steel types will likely be a pain...especially magnezone and ferrothorns

Give koko grass knot

>>31103507
Hey...throw something onto the GTS asking for a ditto level 91-100. The more descriptive you are the better

>>31103536
shit, will do

is there any adjustments I should make to be able to handle them better? its kind of hard with only 3 guys

>>31103690
You could try Gastrodon, but that'd change your team completely. Earth Power fuck with both electric and steel. Struggles with grass, tho.

Is SD Mimikyu, M-Metagross, A-Ninetales all with cookie cutter stuff good enough to roll through?

>>31103749
who should I drop for that?

tapu kek or Greninja?

or should I put rain dance on him and make him my lead? sorry I'm new to this stuff

Gonna run a trick Room team for Doubles. Oranguru. Thinking of either running Drampa or Torkal. Drought Eruption, or Hyper Voice spam?

For a doubles team of Koko and Pelliper leads, who should be in the back up? Ash-Ninja?

>>31104137
Be careful around taunters
flash fire may or may not become an issue
rotom wash will probably become your new best friend that you hate.

>>31103507
I grabbed 6 meowths with pickup, and battled wild pokemon for about 2 hours till one of them picked up a destiny knot

>>31105541
I trained 5 Meowths until level 50 at Poni Gauntlet before getting a destiny knot. Took about two hours at maximum.

The higher level your meowths, the better your chances of getting good items. Got a few rare candies too.

>>31105608
Mine were around lv 40's

Picked up alot of revives, rare candies, nuggets and pearl strings etc. It was kinda fun

Which would serve me better on a ninetales-A in the tree: freeze dry or blizzard?
Hitting water types SE is nice, but Ninetales doesn't have very high SpAtk. I feel like there are plenty of things freeze dry just won't hit hard enough.

>>31103507
I used the Pelago go get some UBs and Tabus ready, and getting enough BP after that was a cinch.

Managed to unlock super singles with Decidueye, Xurkitree & Araquanid, haven't even properly ev trained them yet but now I got enough bp for the power items.

Also scouted Guzma but I'm gonna chalk it up to luck because he missed 2 focus blasts in a row

Timid or Modest Porygon Z?

>Fake Out, Fling King's Rock, Acrobatics Infernape

This set makes me sad. As someone who stubbornly used Infernape in OU last gen there are just so many better ways to use Infernape and this is what Gamefreak went with. Anyone else get a similar feeling with their favorite mons?

i've been breeding mons without a goal or anything so now help me make a team out of these shits

salamence
HA garchomp
HA dragonite
mimikyu
HA toxapex
HA vulpix
all tapus/UBs
they all have beneficial natures and 4-6IVs except celesteela/pheromosa who i got from GTS

Alright fags, here's a super singles team that just slew Red

jesus christ what is the matter with you people

best team to get to a 200 streak? I got to 66 with megamence, ash-greninja, and aegislash. I feel like aegislash is too slow and dependent on king's shield and that greninja is too weak before transforming.

Just got to 50 in super singles. I've earned over 2600 points but finally got it.

Now I just need to prepare for doubles

>>31113108
she appears after you finish the UB missions

>>31112389
In battle tree speed is king. I've had so many adamant pokes wiped by something they could have outsped and ohko

>>31113124
that would make sense, I've only had 1 run since finishing the UB quest

Been using Kartana, Xurkitree and Golisopod. Currently at 42 wins for Super Singles

>>31102399
it actually takes half that time to train 18 mons from 0 to 510

>>31113257
It takes like 20 minutes to fully ev train a Pokemon. The island is for training a Pokemon you won't need for a day

Doing super-doubles with Scarfchomp, Vikavolt Gyarados and Alolan-Ninetales.

Hyper Offense is pretty good.

>>31113255
Did you win?

>>31112389
Nah, Adamant Mence is fine, it's just that these people haven't gotten gud and then blame their incompetence on muh speed.

So far I have HA Toxapex and Celesteela. Who should be the 3rd? I feel like it should be someone who resist both Psychic and Electric attacks.

>>31113688

>>31113688
I will always advocate for porygon2 but it gives nothing in the way of resistances

I aint doing this shit in 3 modes on the off chance there is a better version of the same game anyway. Otherwise I'd basically want to do it again.

>>31114019
I should consider it. Funny thing is, round 20 was Colress with Porygon-Z first and Porygon2 second. I should have scouted that lol

Best partner for Multi Battles and with what pokemon to use?

>>31114319
Scout either Cynthia or Anabel, but make sure they lead with Mega Lucario.
Get yourself a jolly Mega Salamence.

40 wins guaranteed, maybe even 50. (I made the remaining 10 with a friend who was also using Mega Lucario because I didn't trust the AI)

>>31114603
You can't pretend that hax doesn't happen a ton in the tree though. Like Quick Claw activating 5 times in a row

>>31114524
This triggers me so much. I need a good partner for Multi because the only way to win is for the A.I to have 4 damaging moves. Any status move and you have a chance of them fucking you over.

It's a matter of luck, I was lucky enough to scout Cynthia with Mega Lucario (and a fucking stupid Togekiss who just spams thunder wave on paralized mons like an idiot).

I once saw this lucky fucker getting to fight Anabel in round 10, while I've never ever seen her. And yes, I finished the UB quest.

>>31114725
whats your set look like?

>>31114725
Yeah, you either use Fini or have a Lum Berry user to start with, or else you'll lose to status spam

How do things like Pixilate work in conjunction with Z-moves? Will it turn a breakneck blitz into boosted fairy type damage?

>>31114902

Noticed that at around 70~ most teams carry status mons. My last run ended with a Recover/Confuse Ray/Defiant Milotic

I found leading with Fini is more reliable than spamming offense.

You'd be surprised how rewarding the risk of fissure is on dugtrio. Pyuyku has the potential to put toxic on steel and poison types as well as 1HKO a melee sweeper with counter, rocky hekmet and or innards out. If it's down to MimiQ who is near death along with pyuku and the opponent has one half health destroyer you can anitcipate switch and have innards out kill the opponent.

It's nothing fancy but it's working well against a lot of BT teams. Another team I just started running that I like is Skarmory, Tapu lele and Torterra

Apologies for all the typos I'm drunk and just finished a long shift hope this helps someone

How viable is this set? It was great for the past battle facilities.

Gengar@Focus Sash
252/252 SpA/Speed
-Sludge Bomb
-Shadow Ball
-Dazzling Gleam
-Destiny Bond

Lead and if you can 2hko whilst being brought down to sash. Then destiny bond to get rid of the 2nd mon as you go.

Obvs weather and priority are issues but you could work around that in the maison.

Porygon2 - Eviolite - Quiet
Recover
Tri Attack
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt

Muk - Lum Berry
Poison Jab

Do people actually use Tapu's and UB's in the Battle Tree?

That's the height of scummery imo.

>>31115905
The game actively cheats against you. Might as well fight Bullshit with Bullshit.

the double team + recover porygon2 is a pain in the ass. i'd have been fucked if i didn't have toxic

>>31115905
Seeing as how the A.I. has legendaries too, it seems only fair.

>>31115994
so what? half the fun is breeding and training your own pokemon to take them down.

don't be a little bitch

Has anyone faced Walrein with Rest, Stockpile, Frost Breath and Snore yet?

an utter, utter pain in the cunt.

>>31116038
training tapus is close enough

>>31116075
i have an encore user which annoys the ai into switching him out if he leads with the walrein

then when he pops up again i just use aegislash' sacred sword to chop through his stockpile

>>31116109
i had 2 mons with Crunch which lowered it's defence thankfully. still took about 20 minutes though

>>31116075
Yes

These resting mons are stupid as fuck. They try to out last me and they come so close.

>>31116109
Best thing to do is have Toxapex with Haze. Completely fucks over any Stockpile user.

just got 50 wins in doubles, using koko @ expert belt, megamence with sub,dd,roost and double-edge, kartana @ sash and mimikyu @ LO
greatest problems were trickroom teams, I would have lost to one if his reuniclus didn't use explosion after setting up TR, but after some time I just started double targeting any potential TR setter, even if it meant losing mence or koko
I was also amused at the aurorus set with sandstorm and hail, really highlights the AI's smartness

Best moveset and nature for Kartana?

>>31116960
Jolly

And I ran Smart Strike, Sacred Sword, Leaf Blade and Night Slash

>>31102801
Fairly certain mold breaker ignores Innards Out, and Pinsir, Pangoro, and Haxorus get that ability and false swipe

>99% done with Pokedex
>Fucking Porygon2/Z

>>31115905

The AI uses Sub Legendaries against you, so it's fair game.

It's all good and well trying to play "fair" until you're in a Double Battle against Genies.

>>31116075

Walrein gives me PTSD going back to Ruby and Sapphire, I will focus them on sight.

>>31113124

Does that include catching Necrozma because I'm holding off if that until move tutors return since I already have one.

>>31115867

Rock Slide and Stone Edge is what you will be using most of the time so as long as you have those you're good to go. Running both is completely reasonable, too, Stone Edge will save your life and it can't miss so why not?

Brick Break is also pretty meaningless as far as coverage goes but it will break Screens, though I suppose you can run it instead of Fire Fang for dealing with Steel types.

Fire Fang and Thunder Fang are better choices in my opinion, they can't miss and being able to both flinch and status in one move they provide some really nice utility. They're egg moves, though.

I don't see the need for Crunch at all, unless Psychic/Ghost types counter the rest of your team in which case it's fine.

>>31117338

She appeared for me and I havent caught Necrozma. The Beast side-quest is over once you catch Guzzlord, Necrozma is just a goody on top.

Honestly though i'm glad I don't face her that often, if your team doesn't have a way to deal with M-Alakazam it can fuck your run right there.

>>31117262

Funnily enough, Zygarde. I got every pokemon then forgot to assemble one because it isn't displayed on any of the regional dexes.

>>31102471
how does armaldo outspeed you to flinch you? I call bullshit unless you set your own trick room? which gyarados doesnt even need... Also, why dont you have inner focus oranguru.

GIT GUD BOI

>>31117346
It's got fire and thunder fang. Guess i got lucky.

>>31114003

Still rocking M-Mence, Tapu Koko, and AV Buzzwole. Only things I'm missing is a way to deal with Freeze hax and OHKO bullshit. Everything else I've dealt with through a combination of sheer power, unwarranted luck won a game off of an enemy Salamence missing their opening Draco Meteor, immediately switching to Koko would've won but I wasn't sure of the set, Roost scouting with M-Mence, and Buzzwole just being an absolute bro.

>So what has everyone been using to get their BP?
I legit have about 800 BP saved up in the PokeBank, so I'm just waiting for it to open up.

>>31119005
It's good if it has lighting rod

>>31119005

I tried one out and it wasn't that good.

Most of its damage is Physical, so whilst Lighting Rod boosts its Special Attack you can't really use it since it's so low - even if you invest in Sp.Atk with a favored nature it's not doing great (i.e. with Max EVs Jolly it's still doing less than an uninvested Adamant Salamence). It's not really that tanky or fast either.

At least, this is my experience trying to pair it with Koko and spam Discharge. In terms of just keeping single-target electric damage of fan ally (i.e. Pelipper) then it might be a bit more useful, but then you can't use Fire attacks.

I think it's great in the meta because people tailor it as a counter to the most common threats - but it's pretty mediocre in the battle tree itself. If you want something to absorb Discharge just use Garchomp or another good ground type, and if you want to redirect electric attacks then something like a Rhyperior with its Earthquake and Rock Slide STAB seems far more reliable.

>>31119342
did you account for the thick club attack boost?

Is Timid the best nature for Polygon Z?

>>31099977

The idea is getting a volt switch off; pelipper cancels out al weaknessses from jolteon and lucario (fighting fire ground) while jolteon covers pelippers electric weakness perfectly and lucario resits rock 4 times.

It'll still take me ages till I raised them all but I already fear I might be lacking offensive coverage/power and coulld get worn down easily. I know three elctric attacks on jolteon is insane but I really want to run thunder to make use of pellipers drizle and I need the tbolt in case I want to stay in on the first match up and can't rely on thunder before rain is up and jolteon doesnt have a lot of usable coverage anyways.

>>31119610
Depends on what you want to outspeed. In competitive it is, but it might not be necessary in the Battle Tree because of all the shitty sets or faster Pokemon running Scarves.

>>31119659
Just go for it. Even if you have a guaranteed good team, a big portion of the Battle Tree is experience so you won't know until you try.

>>31119707
is there anything you can see that is obviously wrong with oit or anything like that though?

Where's the list of Battle Tree sets for AI?

I'm planning on doing doubles with sandslash, a-ninetails, gyarados and marowak. (I'm purposely not using pseudos/sub-legendaries)

My plan is to be able to set up safely with Aurora veil+intimidate and mega evolve gyarados as needed to abuse his type change.

I'm worried about facing a rock team with tyranitar, he out-slows Ninetails for weather and has rock and ground moves to fuck my whole team super effectively except for mega evolved gyarados. (Though maybe he will die to the moonblast iron head combo before EQing my leads, i haven't run calcs on it)

>>31119861
>I'm worried about facing a rock team
especiallly int he long run you should be; no way to replace marowak with something that walls rock?

i spent all this time breeding and EV training and levelling an adamant bagon
am i fucked? should i scrap it and get a jolly?
also what's the best place to exp train?

my 40 win streak was ruined by a fucking eevee team, particularly Vaporeon with Water Absorb.

i am literally seething

>>31119918
>am i fucked? should i scrap it and get a jolly?
adament is fine for DD mega salamence, if not better

>tfw no viable pokemon yet so grinding GP one by one for the Power items by sending out a full explosion shit mon team 16 times for each item in the battle royale

Everyone should be running one of the Porygon's on their team with Download desu. In 50 battles i onlyever faced 2 fighting mons

>>31119904
Any ground type would work for me but marowak just makes everything so easy especially vs trick room teams and fire/electric teams that I'd have trouble with otherwise. Krookodile and Flygon were also considered but they're not as good of blanket checks against everything like marowak is.

>Usually play doubles
I run Krookadile/garchomp, pelipper, celesteela and a tapu. (usually bulu)

Lost a 30+ win streak because battle tree fucking cheats and a venasuar with leftovers outsped my jolly perfect iv garchomp.

how about kommo-o? it resists electric, fire and rock

I've had the most luck with this set:

Lucario @ Lucarionite (Inner Focus -> Adaptability)
Lonely - 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Close Combat
Swords Dance
Extremespeed
Flash Cannon

(Switched the obligatory 4 Def/SpD into SpA for flash cannon, which is there to provide coverage if you get burned. Also good for opening up physically bulky fairies.)

Alola Ninetails @ Light Clay (Snow Warning)
Timid - 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Freeze-Dry
Moonblast
Aurora Veil
Nasty Plot

(Fairly standard A-Ninetails set. Can either setup the aurora veil and switch out or start setting up for a sweep with nasty plot. Freeze-Dry is far more useful than hailBlizzard for the water type coverage.)

Mamoswine @ Life Orb (Thick Fat)
Jolly - 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Earthquake
Superpower
Ice Shard
Rock Slide

(Mostly there for cleanup if needed and a switch-in on electric types. Rock slide chosen over stone edge as the 10 extra accuracy is usually preferable for sets that run double team bullshit.)

>>31120267

>>31120180

Tapu Koko
Crobat
Metagross

>>31120273
Defensive typing is too succeptible to fire/fighting types. Something like an infernape with mach punch would sweep you free.

How the fuck did a Passimian out speed my Scarfed Jolly Garchomp? There was no Tailwind or Trick Room in effect. No Quick Claw either.

Got 50 wins in super singles with Fightinium-Z Pheromosa, Specs Lele and AV NIhilego. Ran Me First instead of Poison jab on Pheromosa to handle pesky ghost types, since Nihilego already takes care of most fairy types.

>>31099977
Kartana, M-Salamence, Xurkitree

Salamence complements Kartana and Xurkitree really well since it resists their weaknesses. Xurkitree seems a bit of a weak factor, though. It's scarfed because Z-Hypnosis is unreliable in the tree, so it often gets walled by a switch-in.

>>31120505
Nah it was the last mon and came in on its own after Koko Discharged Braviary and Ninetails to death. I guess Braviary used Tailwind while I wasn't looking.

>>31120542

>>31120593

>mfw my earthquake misses
>mfw some of these battle tree fuckers have brightpowder/lax incence

>>31120674
But Serebii doesn't list the sets of 3 they could use, just all pokemon they could use

I have a rather dumb question to those of uou who use tapus/ubs in the battle tree
Did you soft reset for 5 good IVs on them? Did you use hyper training? Or did you just roll with 3 IVs?
or did you hack them?
Also, is Magearna allowed?

>>31120764

I went for the 3 and just hyper trained Koko and Lele.

>>31120764
magearna isnt allowed

>get to 20 on regular on first try
>get to 51 on super first try
Why did people hype this up so much? My team is not even 4 IVs or properly EV trained.

how are people finding Metagross? Id have thought it would be unreliable, with most of it's STAB moves having less then 100 acc. To those who have used it well what moveset and what pairs well with it?

I'm using:
DD-weakness policy multiscale Dnite
ShellSmash minior
Sturdy magnezone

And it's been relatively easy for me.

>>31121067
what number are you on?

>>31102801
Decicudeye is immune to counter and has false swipe.

>>31121075
I finished the first 20 on first try and I'm currently at 20 in super singles, but got bored, I'll continue later.

>>31121091

>Regular singles.

Not even worth talking about.

>>31121101
I also breezed through 20 super but got bored.

The strategy is to start with magnezone which counters walrein, if an npc has an earthquake mon, switch to minior, and npcs are retarded enought to try to status it even though you're immune and after a shell smash or two, minior sweeps. If they ever manage to kill those two, dnite just cleans everything with outrage.

Adamant Minior focus sash
Earthquake
Shell Smash

Woaw thanks bro, just got my prankster Sableye and was looking for that.

Should I feel bad for injecting a Shell Smash Kommo-o exclusively for the battle tree or is it justified?

>>31121888
Cheating is never justified

>Moonblast and Freeze-dry are egg moves for alola ninetails

Fucking hell why are the best moves always a pain.

>>31121888
Nah thats just plain old cheating

>>31121896
>>31121906
But the tree literally does it too

>>31121913
The AI has advantages over the player in 99.9% of games. That doesn't justify the player cheating.

>>31121913
They do it to us all. You should have found a way to beat the game without cheating.

>>31121975
I did but I really want Kommo-o to be good

Does the Battle Tree suddenly get hard at some point? I'm at round 15 of Super Singles and it's still a breeze even with shitmons.

>>31122008
Cheating is cheating faggot. Make him work legitimately or use something else.

>>31121888
Don't listen to these fags, the tree deserves to be played at an equal level

>>31120764
Hyper Training or Injecting are the best ways. Fuck soft reseting for the right IVs.

Well shit just lost at round 21, scouted Colress and Guz though. Time for me to go build a proper team.

Just lost in that normal Multi Mode at the 18th trainer due to a fluke on my part.
Had a random NPC with an Haxorus and a A-Dugtrio as a partner, and she was pretty decent, I think.

My Typhlosion was pretty useful to get there, but my Bewear didn't really strike me as a good mon for that mode. Here's my team, do you have any advice ?

Typhlosion @Grassium Z
+Spd - Atk
Explosion
Extrasensory
Flamethrower
Solar-Beam

Bewear @Choice Band
+Atk -SpA
Return
Hammer Arm
Ice Punch

Shadow Ball

Minior w/ White Herb
Stone Edge

Earthquake
Shell Smash

Thinking of dropping shitty herb because despite being in its shell, he keeps getting his shit slapped

You're wrong.

>>31122530
Well, he can't really come in on anything, right? I'm guessing that's part of your problem.

He needs to tank one hit, shell smash, and then he can usually sweep at least 2/3-3/3 on the team.

If you see anything that can fuck him up even with shields up, you have your other two pokemon to switch in BEFORE you blow the herb.

>>31122566
>>31122563
wrong.

>>31122589
still doesnt matter if you get one shot after shell smash

How the fuck do you deal with these bulky rest fuckers.

Every fucking time I get on a good streak I run into them and they just fucking stall my team

>Spam defense boosting moves so I cant just kill them in 1-2 hits

I realized afterward there was really only one way I could've won against that specific team: I should've sacrificed Celesteela totally to Rampardos until its HP was sufficiently lowered by Head Smash that Mimikyu could've KOd it with Shadow Sneak.

If I could've managed that, I would've been able to take Conkeldurr down with Mimikyu, die to Slaking, and then come in with Salamence and 2HKO with Thrash while it loafed. Oh well.

What are you all doing for Battle Royale?

I'm thinking something like Specs Koko spamming Discharges and a Xurkitree spamming Discharges again because I can't think of another way to cheese this shitshow

>>31122762
My Minior is also adamant, so I wasn't sure if running with Power Gem would be a good idea. Stone Edge is such a shitty move that I might take you up on your setup.

So I finally managed to reach Round 50 and beat Blue in the doubles with this team:

Tapu Fini @ Leftovers
Bold, 252 Def 252 HP 4 SpDef
Moon Blast, Scald, Calm Mind, Protect

Kartana @ Focus Sash
Jolly, 252 Speed 252 Att 4 HP
Smart Strike, Leaf Blade, Sacred Sword, Psycho Cut

A-Marowak @ Thick Club
Adamant, 252 HP 252 Att 4 Def
Shadow Bone, Flare Blitz, Bonemerang, Protect

Salamence @ Megastone
Modest, 252 Speed, 252 SpAtt, 4HP
Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam (and yes, I'm actually using Hyper Beam and it's fucking hillarious in Battle)

Any opinions on the team?

>>31122828
Mimikyu can solo that including master rank. Just don't kill first and boost yourself to one-shot everything.

This worked pretty well for me too. I noticed the opponents won't usually go after you if someone else is in the lead.

You can also try using a Self Destruct Snorlax or Galvanized Explosion Golem, lol.

Why not just rock slide?

>>31122885
Well, I wanted to use Aerilate somehow and since there is no move tutor for Hyper Voice in Gen7...I gave Salamence Hyper Beam. And it turned out to be a quite useful nuke.

>>31122945

Aerilate is for Double Edge.

>>31122929
Imperfect accuracy, less power than SE, lacks mixed wallbreaking. For example Power Gem is a 2HKO on Skarmory while Rock Slide isn't.

>>31122929
Because I'm retarded. But having Power Gem at least gives it mixed sweeping potential

>>31122971
Yeah but you could say that same thing about special walls as well, with power gem.
Power gem has 5 more power, but will likely do less with a negative nature and uninvested.

>>31122986
i've been using a rock slide set and doing fine. Just don't use stone miss

>>31122945
Oh yeah, duh. Not bad imo

>>31122952
Sure, but this is a special Salamence, not a physical. I don't want to imply that this set is in any way better than the physical Set, but it fits pretty good into the team this way. I needed a strong special attacker and also wanted Intimidate in my team...which made a special Salamence a good choice.

>>31123002
It's going to do way more damage than a missed Rock Slide.

What special walls do you need Stone Edge for? You have boosted Acrobatics, which does more damage, and EQ.

>>31122918
>Buttass

Rockstar is a pretty good nickname though

>>31123061
I'm not going to carry power gem for skarmory.
On everything else, rock slide will hit for more.

Has anyone tried that Spotlight move yet and knows how it works ?
I'm thinking that breeding a Shiinotic for doubles could be useful in order to keep my over mon at max HP and do damage to the other team.

>>31123186
You don't carry Power Gem for Skarmory, you carry it for Rock STAB against Rock weak enemies, because Acrobatics and EQ will hit most things harder than Rock Slide anyway. Again, uninvested Power Gem still gets the same SE KOs as Rock Slide, but with 100% accuracy, and some mixed attack potential as a bonus.

Christ, special Aegislash cleans house.

>Run team weak af to fire to test how bullshit the AI can get
>Kiawe shows up on round 11

>>31123303

*Round 10.

A little bit off topic, but whenever I fight a boss trainer like Colress, I'm getting the battle theme I picked in the beginning. How do you activate their own unique theme when fighting them?

>>31123303
I've been trying to scout a Kiawe team with Mega Mom and a Z move user, so I'm using Kartana and M-Scizor. Works like a charm.

daily reminder that minior has the same base special attack as attack when the shield falls, learns power gem, and psychic

>>31123322
Use the generic Trainer music.
5

>>31123345
I did that, but I'm still getting the theme I picked. Maybe if I reset my game/3DS?

>>31123327
I was using Parasect, Steel Memory Silvally, Bewear and Dhelmise. Would've won if the Salazzle didn't have Fake Out.
The game really tries to mess up your combos, I brought a rain core to the normal doubles and I saw 5 Glalies in 20 battles, all of them set Hail up on turn 1.

>>31123562
It absolutely makes teams based on what you have. I led with Celesteela forever and never saw a Dragon lead once. I switched to Salamence and saw two Kingdra leads within 10 battles as well as a two Ice teams (one with a Mamoswine lead). Then I switched to Mimikyu and got Pyroar (literally the one Pokemon to resist its dual STAB), Salazzle, and some Steel Pokemon in one team.

>>31123750
>It absolutely makes teams based on what you have

No it doesn't.

Now that's some gimicky shit.

>>31123779
Oh, OK. Thanks for explaining that. You're the best.

>>31123827
every single bronzong ive seen has had rain dance rest trick room and gyro ball, regardless of the rest of the team

>>31122505
It gets it off weavile.

>>31123851

I swear the bronzong set I keep seeing is glitched. It ALWAYS does rain dance, then hail then rain dance, then hail over and over. It's always a free win.

>>31123933
i dont even know why it does rain dance i dont have any fire mons or moves

had an opponent make Absol do 2 double teams then baton pass to a mandibuzz with taunt, roost and flatter, took a while to kill

>>31122561
Woah, that might have been from me.

I seriously doubt Stars will be a remaster of Sun and Moon. It will probably be another game in alola with another protagonist and a different story, with the characters aged a couple of years. Not Sun and Moon HD.

>>31124455
Remember how we never got Pokemon Z? The next non remake pokemons will just be Sun 2 and Moon 2

stop this "hurr no sequels because of Z and Delta Emerald meme" meme
Game Freak has breaking patterns as of recently, literally anything can happen

Scouting trainers don't mean you can't fight those trainers ever again right? Like, if I scouted Cynthia I can still encounter her right?

Correct.

Got done in at round 89 by an Ace trainer with a Mega Blazekin.

I used weakness policy Aegislash, Scarf Lele, and Mega Mence.

>>31124988
>>31125015

>>31125054

Shut the fuck up asshole, yes it does.

>>31122848
Why does Tapu Fini have Scald? Wouldn't Surf be better?

>>31125466
Actually wait, nevermind I forgot about multitargeting. I guess the only other option there would be Hydro Pump.

I didn't even know that the trainer's themes could play since I'd been swapping the music every few tries. Red's theme is the only one that overrides battle tree music.
