Can anyone give me some tips on building a water team? I've been doing fairly confident in this one I'm currently using,
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7monotype-523166912
Sadly, I rely on Pelipper too much. Any changes I can possibly make?
>>31539873
Just so you know the monotype battles in these threads are 3v3, best out of 3. So it's incredibly different to the smogon monotype. Don't know how helpful the people in these threads can be to you.
Since nobody's done it yet,
Claiming this thread for the coolest type.
Are there enough people for multis or something?
>>31539751
>Pidgeot, a much needed mega as well as lopunny.
>SALAMANCE, GARCHOMP STAY
WEW
At least I could run Mega Kanga? Right?
Right?
>>31540059
As long as it doesn't have Power-up Punch, I think you can.
It's not that bad anymore, now that PuP isn't a TM (less people have it), and Parental Bond got nerfed.
>>31540074
Could it still get fire punch?
Or that was tutor only?
Even if its transfered from ORAS?
>>31540093
You can still use XY/ORASmons in link battles under flat rues, I think.
So yes, Fire Punch will work.
Happy that you can get your much-needed fire coverage now?
>>31540109
With Kekleon, Chatot and I guess Kanga, yeah actually
>>31540109
To be fair, I might just go Fire since all I look into are fire moves.
But isn't charizard mega dead?
>>31540130
Red gives you the Kanto starter mega stones when you beat him in regular Singles in the battle tree.
>implying gf will ever let kanto be forgotten in any form
>>31540143
Then fire might be. Ill enjoy having maybe 2 mons against water.
>>31540156
>water
Is that really a threat with Solar Beams in the sun?
Or if you can spare a Z-slot, Z-Solar Beam on anything.
>>31540164
Forgot the KING OF RAIN
PELIPPER
So I did some testing, and the pelican can just u turn and bring the rain again.
Switch to DRAGON and that is it.
It can be helped with a combo of Charizard X, but he has to be able to switch to X before it dies.
>>31539873
Don't take advice from a thread full of sub 1200 shitters.
>>31540364
Infernape can Thunderpunch the bird and U-turn out back into your sun setter, among other things.
>>31540413
>aqua jet
The fucking bunny still gives me headache.
Can't test teams on showdown due to the sheer ammount of genies and tapus/ubs.
Send help
>>31540972
Glad that cancer will never see the light on these tourneys.
>>31540486
Is Oven Rotom a good enough counter for anything water, barring Gastrodon and Guagsire?
>>31541184
Surprisingly bulky actually. Can hold its own against quag and gastrodon, but only for a while.
Toxic will wear it down easy.
I don't have calcs tho
Ill be here the next few hours so if Hassan(fighting) is around we can do our matches
summoning luna
Waiting for Cerise
Is Mige around?Kranic will be DQ'e soon and I wanna schedule our match.
>>31543321
Practice mono with me instead.
>>31543446
That'll ruin the fun when we meet in the semi finals you pink nigger
>>31543471
The suspense is killing me senpai.
>>31543492
Soon my dude. Soon.
>>31543446
Can I beat...I mean play you?For fun of course.
>>31542549
added. I'm waiting in the plaza
>>31543646
Nice, going online now
>>31543684
You sure?When you lose you're next match I'll be your next opponent.Your gonna need something more than paraflinch to beat me so why not get some practice?
>>31543552
what about me bby
>>31543646
I don't see you online in the plaza, challenge me if you can
>>31543432
Yee. You wanna battle sometime tonight or tomorrow night?
>>31543793
Tonight would be ok with me or tomorrow if you want time to view replays and stuff.
>>31543762
in the plaza
>>31543755
>Your gonna need something more than paraflinch
I dont know why you intend on stirring the pot again, but I havent used Togekiss more than a few battles. He gets outsped by most threats and is too frail to stall with roost.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEPJmrSLaYE
battle theme desu
>>31543845
I thought he was just memeing I doubt he was seriousI'm salty that I lost to Ryan the way that I did knowing I would have a better match up against you :[
>>31543792
GG There's not much I can do against Dragonite and Mence.
>>31543913
Those harshbrowns he was serving didnt seem like memeing to me.
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
>>31543975
GG man, I think its a pretty tough match up for you, Dragonite and Salamence just put in too much work, Z fly moxie is basically a free kill on anything
Korago wins 2-0

Hit through snow cloak+bright powder
ur a legend
>>31544051
im just channeling alder's powers trough my cart
>>31543996
Yeah, there isn't much Fighting can do to those 2 atm. If only Crabominable got ice shard....
Also, to that other mono-fighting gym leader, an attempt was made.
>>31543821
Tonight will be fine, already looked at your team and such. Looking forward to our battles
>>31544117
u wanna fight against me after bommie
pleeeeeaaaaaseee :3
>>31544129
Sure
sorry again for the rng bommie but apparently the spirit of alder is giving me mystical rng powers i cannot even comprehend
>>31544129
That was embarrassing.Thank you for being gentle,it was my first time.
>>31544120
Sounds good man what time is good for you?
>>31544129
>dat crit
>>31544188
I should be around 8pm to midnight EST.

Cool I'll be around.

**starts playing**
WEEEW BBY GGS, i guess we could say ur the champion of unova now?
lmao
>>31544339
GG man, I wasn't expecting an Alder team (I thought you were going to bring a mono-bug since you were talking about Accelgor earlier).
I'll gladly take that title!
>>31543242
>>31545071
lets battle bby
>>31545083
Have to go back out, sorry. I'll be back tonight bby.
Actually have like 15-20 min for a set or two if anyone wants.
>>31545665
me bby lets go
>>31545680
Cool. Thought I had to go right out but let's do a set real quick.
>>31545680
What's with the alder love?
>>31545719
idk its very fun to use bby :3
>>31545874
Holy shit, did it have like 1 hp after the thunder?
GG. Alder's team seems a bit pebble weak seeing as a lot of it is bug and an ice type. I'll be back in a bit, would love to play again or do a multi.
So, can i get an estimate for the gym leader event? Im on some pain meds, and i need to transfer stuff up, as well as expiriment with the nature system for red and blue
>>31546123
weeeww bby, i hope ur pain is over really soon :3
and gym challenge, uuuh, there is no specific date, it all really depends on how fast the current finalists do their matches
im using alder's team to challenge the gyms btw, its very fun to use
I need to know, so if we play Flat Rules we can't use Bank mons?
>>31546277
bank mons go trough flat rules bby
>>31546277
No? What made you think that?
Flat rules is more so not everyone without hacking has to train their shit to level 100. Kind of sucks since it has no repeating item.
>>31546329
its acutally because its faster
if this were 6v6 it would take a lot of time
plus it forces creativity on the items, and not just slap 6 leftovers on each of ur team members
>>31546351
True. I don't mind 3 on 3, in normal rules you can bring UP to six so three on three is possible. No repeating items just kind of sucks.
>>31546329
Got confused with a lot of people talking about not being able to fight using transfer mons. I'm still deciding between transfering or waiting anyway.
>>31546635
Hack checks do seem to be a bit more strict.I wasn't allowed to use some of my transfer mons simply because of the Pokeball they were in.
Patty, we can battle on Saturday whenever is most convenient for you, I'll be free all day.
>>31546388
Repeating items fucking blows.
Slam sashes on anything quick that can boost and ruin everything that doesn't have priority.
>>31544117
GJ my boi. Fighting is tough to use.
>>31544022
Hello friendo.
What set do you run on your very fast ninja bug?
>>31543986
It wasn't memeing, but let's not reopen it.
>>31547063
wew bby its
focus blast
water shuriken
bug buzz
and me first
with fight z move for maximum fun
>>31543845
>outsped my most threats
That's a good way of putting it because, subconsciously, you're aware that whatever doesn't outspeed is not a threat, and that t-waving some things that outspeed negates them as threats as a whole, demonstrating that toge will just rely on serene grace flinching for the KO
But hey ur doing a good job justifying your gayness
>>31543986
>harshbrowns
Love that term.
>>31547658
Everything you said can be applied to literally any pokemon above UU, just slightly tweaked in someway. Pokemon never had any hard core strategy to begin with. Do you think pros care about "what's fair"? The game is literally rock, paper, scissors. Dont whine because your opponent threw (stealth) rock and you threw scissors.
>>31547938
Please give me some examples. What other pokemon has a 60% chance of flinching their opponent every turn, with a 120 base special attack?? That's easily a 2 or 3HKO on the majority of pokemon, so if you're one of those 2hko-able mons, 60% of the time, you're dead no matter what you do.
So, to borrow your analogy, togekiss throws rock, and i'm throwing paper, but since toge threw first, it doesn't matter.
But please, I would love to hear what slight tweaks you can make to align togeflinch with other mons. It is nearly entirely RNG based.
>>31548014
Paraflinch (which got nerfed this gen) is just another form of stall. Toxapek, Tentacruel, Gliscor, Chansey, Porygon2 and many others can do Togekiss' job with more reliable recovery and way less of a chance to be insta-gibbed by a faster mon. Any swagger/foul play mon such as sableye does the exact same job but with access to substitute and prankster to be even safer. If you're not running a taunt user to counter those threats,, it's on you as a player.
>>31547657
Pretty good for the 100% focus miss.
On your escavalier I recommend getting rid of the occa berry. Escavalier won't survive much against fire types. I recommend giving it a life orb to give it even more power but not lock it into a move. For druddigon I recommend giving it a rocky helmet, goes good with rough skin.
>>31548088
How on earth is it stalling when with such a high special attack, your opponent is dead in 2 or 3 turns regularly? Stalling means using toxic or other residual damage traps to slowly kill your opponentwho can still fucking attack you and move during that time for the most part. Paralysis may have been nerfed this gen, but flinch sure hasn't been. So like I mentioned before togekiss can regularly kill what it outspeeds if it gets the hax it needs, which is a 60% per turn chance. Now slap a scarf on the togekiss, and there you go.
It is simply not stalling, and your attempt to align it with such has failed. toxic stalling does not rely on RNG. Mons with residual damage moves and good recovery do NOT rely on RNG. Please stop reaching.
>>31548088
You could have just said Jirachi.The list of Pokemon you gave do not play the way a Togekiss does.None of them are attempting to keep the opponent from playing on a coin flip.
>>31548163
Even if I believe everything you strawman, if paraflinch is as strong as you say it is why is Togekiss not OU? Why doesnt every pro player use it in their team? Must be because counters exist. Really makes you think.
>>31548212
It's a completely different meta.
>>31548212
There's your issue, comparing it to smogon tier lists based off a 6v6 system. 3v3 is a much more hostile meta, and if one of your mons gets flinched to death, your left with just 2 mons to deal with their 3, leaving you without a crucial switch in or answer to one of their remaining two. scarfkiss in this meta is extremely powerful.
>>31548212
Not him but you realize we are mainly talking about mono right?
And jirachi exsists in the high meta due to typing and it does the exact same thing but with iron head and better overall stats (or at least even stats but typing does it better)
So again what is your damage friend?
>>31548212
You're taking things out of context.We're playing mono here and 3v3.Of course Togekiss is going to seem better in this environment where switch in are extremely limited.
I don't even know why I'm responding to these comments.Togekiss isn't a problem for me.
Mige I'll be ready for our game in like 30mins if you're around.
>>31548270
It might not be an issue for you but you have the right mindset to know it does better in a more hostile environment of quick kills and less opportunity to have your counter for things of that nature.
(which each type doesn't have many or not any good ones at that and not everyone can prep for everything.)
Luna check email
>>31548444
Checked, both the email and your post.
where are the multis/brs?
why do people want them to remake gen 4 so badly? they will fuck it up just like oras you can still play platinum or whichever gen 4 game u want, so just fucking play that before they ruin another game from your childhood
>>31548537
Maybe in a few.
Editing some stuff, anyone need anything?
>>31548522
Good ol Becketts Gen 2 leaks
>>31548552
Everyone wants Pokegirl redesigns to fap to.
>>31548537
I can play until Mige shows up.
>>31548579

>>31549305

>>31549319
Only attacking move is psychic.
>>31549037
Okay I'll be in the plaza send a invite whenever you're ready and sorry for the wait.
>>31549345
you did very good job bomie. u are best boy <3
>>31549391
Did you like that Simple Beam into the Magic Bounce so I could get +2's on my Cosmic Powers?
Immaculate plays.
>>31549389
Did you forget to add me?
Guess Cerise isn't around today, Hope I'll catch you tomorrow my dude.
>>31549450
I did reconnecting now.
>>31549305
>>31549450
Happened?
I'm too soft and never take advantage of hax that goes my way.
Could have switched the turn I went for scald to outspeed in rain with Kingra but from my calcs I had a very good chance to KO.
GG
>>31549455
Still around?
I just got home.
>>31550027
Yeah, that low damage roll on Chandy might have saved the game for me. GGs.
Thanks for saving me from the Toxapex stall at least.
Mige wins 2-1.
Hey it's me Rogerz, lol.
>>31550192
fite me
>>31550174
We got replays up in here?
Organizing all my bank mons as we speak, just finished transfering up some Red and Blue mons as well.
If anyone needs something bred, or just anything in perticular, let me know and I'll be happy to help you all out!
>>31550275
Okay here, look at it.
UWHG-WWWW-WWW4-S2UT
E7JG-WWWW-WWW4-S2VA
BNYW-WWWW-WWW4-S2VM
>>31550322
Same goes for me here. I'll inject for anyone who needs a team/breeding fodder.
Well it was good fun while it lasted but it seems like I need to go back to Smogon OU and learn how to win.
>>31550356
Is Smogon OU really a good place to practice for this?
You're probably better off with Battle Spot.
>>31550343
Personally, not a fan of injecting. I like getting thins the ol' natural way. Feels more fullfulling
>>31550383
I agree my dude.
>>31550356
Damn, sad to see you go. Always next time.
>>31550383
Okay?
>>31550192
rogi pls you haven't even added meunless you're yet another anon messing with me
>>31550422
Oh dont get me wrong, I understand why people inject, not trying to start anything. Just not my niche. Besides, im still a bit out there on pain killers, so i speak my mind more often than not
>>31550371
Battle spot is great for fine tuning little tiny details, but most "game knowledge" you need to get better overall you'll pick up off console. I personally picked up what I know from playing smogon/VGC since gen 4 early.
>>31550383
I really enjoyed breeding mine while I multitask, but my cirlce pad is about to give from years of baguette circle and the autism box. I dont really want to risk having to buy a new ds at this point.
>>31550356
no bby dont go
rememebr gym challenge is next
plus ur tru frend
>>31550441
Okay, that's cool if you feel that way but I hate the elitistfags, on either side. Play however you want.
>>31550444
>tfw you learned comp withshowderp
I guess the best way to learn how to swim is by being dumped into the ocean.
>>31550460
I hate elitists too, trust me, while, again, injecting aint my thing, i aint gonna rush into someone and just scream "lul fuckin cheeter". Breeders like me can also be bad though, again, as the example I said.
Back on topic though, anything you looking for? I got some mons ready to breed, and even need some help getting a Totodile Ready
>>31550505
>tfw you learned comp with showderp
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It helped me out a bunch too while having the added bonus of being fun af.
Anyone up for mono games? Really loving this bug team, get to karenfag and feel confident in these guys.
>>31550554
how about u get online and i give u a surf pika :3
>>31550605
Can you help me with a trade evolution? PKSM is acting up up and giving it to me as illegal. Just give me a minute to breed it.
>>31550618
yes bby
>>31550687
Need another minute, I thought battle tree had metal coats.
>>31550446
I don't want to choke games away anymore.Both my losses were my fault.Against Mige I brought Pokemon that weren't all that useful because game one I felt like I was on autopilot.Even then I could have won but he missed 2 moves so I went for a tbolt on a grass type to "make up for it".That's not normal for me.It's like I wanted to win but then not really.
>>31550174
lol this was the roll
92-110 (68.1 - 81.4%)
you had 94 hp
>>31550687
Sorry, ready now for chu.
Thanks for both the chu and evolving my scyther. Super excited to use surk chu for multis. Love you bby.
>>31550885
i love u too bby
if anybody else wants surf pika let me know
>>31550900
Cloning some too, surf chu is great.
Okay, looking to play mono or mults.
>>31550900
danny bby
can i have one of those pikasi'll try to lessen the eq bullying on your team
>>31551015
Ready for multis too, since I was too late for Hamwall.
>>31551057
Mono?
>>31551057
yes bby <3
>>31551089
Maybe, but my mono teams are all still pre-bank.
Can I just export my Y save, copy all the Pokemon, then put them in my moon save?
>>31551101
Cool, surf raichu is ready. Thanks.
>>31551108
Without bank? pksm is still buggy and pkhex hasn't updated, bank is the only option as of now,
>>31551101
the best
>>31551132
Yesterday's meme team was completely injected from scratch, even though they're supposedly from ORAS.
I think PKHeX still works just fine, but I guess I'll wait for an update to make sure.
>>31551161
Wasn't sure, then I guess we need a fourth and we should be good. Looking for mono matches until then.
>>31551182
I can be your fourth.
>>31551291
Cool, we ready guys? Who wants to host.
>>31551304
I don't think I have Rogi in my friend list.
>>31551291
damn it rogi just fight me already
>>31551304
>>31551359
Nevermind, I actually have him.
He has to battle Raymoo, though.
>>31551359
Luna should host then, she has everyone added.
>>31551404
>she
Sorry, no LONDON, I just like the design of the female SM trainer.
Only have three people, either we wait for a fourth or someone can ask me for mono. would love to do either. Want to use surfing pancakes.
Fug, anyone?
>>31551439
Did someone say multis?
>>31551367
Sorry man, maybe tomorrow, lol. I just kinda wanna relax right now.
>>31551693
>>31551715
Poor Raymoo. He just wants to RIP AND TEAR.
>>31551633
No multis, mono?
>>31551759
All I have is my fairy and fighting if that's okay by you. Ive spent most of today in a greenhouse, so I didnt a chance to make my poison team.
>>31551775
That's cool, bring either.
You're making a poison team too? We should do a poison ditto when your done.
>>31551793
Sure thing. Give me a minute to set up. Also, poison allows me to run brobat and venusaur (I'd run my favorite Ivysaur if he were viable) on the same team. Plus poison has one of my favorite pokes of all time, Garbodor.
>>31551775
nline and ready, will play a few games and go to bed.
>>31551828
Good taste. I'm more of a muk guy but garbordor is pretty cool, never got the hate for it.
Is there a list of confirmed Gym Leaders/Gym types so far?
I need to know what kind of team to prepare.
>>31551715
Or I mean, if you're still on I suppose I can play you right now.
>>31551959
just end my suffering already
>flare blitz crit
Damn, had me surprised. Really fucked me up.
>>31551984
>>31552002
what
so who are you
>>31552023
Luna, fucked up and put shane. My mistake.
GG Shane. Is your heracross banded/scarfed? Stone edge was risky, can't believe I got the paralysis on heracross. compound eyes is such a god send. I can't can't believe one fiery dance OHKO the bewear without fluffy, was why I went for it.
Going to bed, night mono thread.
>>31552092
It's scarfed. Can't wait until the weekend when I can tweak my team. Good games, love that electric spider.
>>31551918
Mike and Shane are locks in top 8 so there will likely be ghost and fairy
>>31551974
Yup.
I guess Raymoo's the one who disappeared this time, I lost 0-2 GG. Videos are where they're submitted.
>>31552368
Thankyou/
gym challenge when
>>31554071
Likely a week and a half.
>>31554071
When the losers' bracket starts catching up.
>>31550110
You FUCKING nigger.
Your name's on my list today boy
>>31554349
get online nerd
you haven't even added my fc yet
>>31554360
I got class in less than an hour. Will you be around in about 2, 3 hours?
>>31554364
Probably.what are you even doing on 4chan when you have classes soon
>>31554370D-don't judge my life style
>Mike removing ice and fairy from losers bracket with an easy 2-1 and 2-0
What a fucking god
>mono type challenge
>double typing pokemon are allowed
what a fucking fraud.
>>31554482
m8 you're using 1 (one) type in common, stop this meme
also Sorry you're next
So how exactly does one become a gym leader? From what I understand its whoever gets the furthest of each monotype which would mean Raymoo has already won the gym leader title and stuff like dragon and ghost only have two potential candidates left?
>>31554523
Highest placing of each individual monotype will get offered the spot.
>>31554523
Top 8 types, and the top trainers for said types.
For example, even though 2 grass reps got in the finals, I doubt either of them will become a gym leader.
On the other hand, Fairy is getting far into the bracket, but there are 4 trainers, and only one of them can claim the spot.
>>31554545
>I doubt either of them will become a gym leader
>>31554977
Sorry friend, but you and Pikaman are already out.
I was rooting for you guys with the relatively underpowered types, but such is life.
>>31554370
You still around your frost loving snow nigger?
>look at standings
>I have to face fairy, again
Welp, I've been totally fucked by seeds and pretty much confirmed for eliminated. Guess I'll get workin' on the gym challenge team.
>>31555000
Hell yeah.very nice digits, could this be a sign?
>>31555046
>Used all my luck on my post number
IT'S OVER
Getting online now.

i'm sorry
>Freeze
DAMN YOU TRIPS

Revenge for that freeze
THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING
HEAVEN OR HELL
LETS ROCK
>That last match
Was close my dude. Cloyster is scary
>>31555235
I swear, I love Shell Smash too much.
Good games, I was reduced to praying for Fissure because of the gigantic misplays I made.
Are you uploading, or do you want me to do it?
>>31555241
There was a few times where Cloyser would of hurt without shell smash.
I got you senpai

>>31555288
Exactly, I'm too greedy with boosting.
I hope I still make it far enough through the loser bracket to become a Gym Leader.
Good luck to you for the rest of the tourney, friend.
>>31555309
That encore on Ninetales scared the fuck out of me. Best luck my dude
>>31555357
I was trying to resist locking Mimikyu into SD, because Z-moves break through Taunt and Encore anyway.
But now that I think about it, it might have let Cloyster set up safely.
Too late for regrets.
Back to drawing and practicing for me.
Place your bets on who's gonna win it all, mono thread!
I'm going to say Raymoo. Steel is a pretty well positioned type in the tournament and I think he can just roll all the fairies left in the tournament.
>>31555404
We can guess that Raymoo's gonna be the top, considering the abundance of fairies, and the fact that fire and fighting are gone, with only ground as the remaining weakness.
Let's ask who's gonna win the losers' bracket instead.
>>31555357
>>31555385
Who won
>>31555498
I did. It was close. 2-1
Videos at >>31555288
>>31555385
It's been a lot of fun having you here Cerise. I'd still like a mono against you, but I understand if you wanna peace out. Good luck next tourney friend.Do you have an art tumblr?I'd like to see your work.
>>31556043
Cerise better not fucking leave, she(male) still has to fight Mige in the losers bracket.
>>31556043
There's a losers bracket u dangus
>>31556122
Is cerise a shemale?
wow
>>31556141
Good. I hope I get to battle him in finals. I also thought past a certain point, you didn't drop into losers.
>>31556160
She's a girl (male).
>>31555404
Mike desu senpai
>>31556271
>I also thought past a certain point, you didn't drop into losers.
Nope! Even in the final round, the winner of the loser's bracket has to beat the winner of the winners bracket twice so they get double eliminated.
Gay penises
>>31554501
I'm sorry for the holdup. I will be ready for a battle whenever. I'm done with J Term so I am completely free tonight and tomorrow.
>>31557783
>sorry says he is sorry
This shit gets me every time lmao
>>31558182
In hindsight, I probably should have come up with a less confusing name. But I just love my Malazan.
>>31558192
Never change name please.
More battles literally when?
>>31559791
In a few, mono?
>>31559858
Was more hoping for a BR or multis, but i can do some mono with a dragon mono i made prebank. Or you can face my ghosts if you arent sick of them yet.
So I was thinking of going full try hard next tournament. But in this last tourny I went half try hard half gimmicky but fun mons. And I found that the gimmick mons worked for me more than the try hard pokes.
Should I go try hard or gimmick?
If I go try hard I'll probably go a weaker type, gimmicky probably a stronger type.
Thoughts?
>>31559912
I just suggested mono since thread seemed a bit dead. I actually would love to see your ghost team. It was a bit similar to mine. Also cool to see golurk, only beaten by shuckle and poliwhirl for my favorite pokemon. Such a cool pokemon.
>>31559920
Depends. Right now I'm usimg a sticky web team and it seems pretty reliable. Deoending on how tryhard you want but maybe find a balance.
>>31559993
Alright. Golurk might not see much action in a 3v3 if you are bringing ghost too, but i can bring it for fun. I'm online, you can challenge me when ready.
>>31560092
Need a min.
>>31560092
ready, sorry about that.
>>31560092
Oh yeah, bringing bug team.
>>31560232
GGs, we can go for some more if you want, i still have that fairly crappy dragon team i haven't tried much.
Damn, GG Mike.
Game 2 I was expecting a dynamic punch from golurk so I thought I could attempt to set up, the no guard stone edge surprised me.
Game 3 I was trying to predict some of your king's shields but messed up. I used that same exact weakness policy aegislash on my team, effective set. Thanks for the games.
I could go a few more, either team is good. Leaving in a bit but hopefully we can do multis toniight.
>>31560444
Nice trips
Wanted to ask, does the golurk have altered speed IVs? Golisopod has a lower base speed but I still went first with no investment in speed.
>>31560515
Yeah, that one is from one of my trick room teams, so it was minimum speed. I gotta fix that at some point, cause i really don't need it to be super slow anymore.
Again, GG. Dragon was definitely a type I worried about. Made a lot of dumb plays in all honesty. Leaving for a few hours but maybe we can do multis later. Thanks.
>>31560624
GG, i'll be around later for multis and battle royale if anyone else is interested later.
is rogi about?
don't die ok
>Battle spot not letting me use multiple pokemon on battle spot
>Pop them into PkHex to see what wrong with them
>Nothing flagged as illegal
I hate this.
>>31562192
The game needs to be patched.
Were these bank mons?
>>31562357
Yes. Also I solved the problem. PkHex cant do legality checks if they came from gen 5. I just editted their info to be from gen 6 and solved all their issues.
>>31562418
Ah, good stuff.
Glad you figured it out.
Summoning multi battles while we wait for slowpokes to finish their goddamn battles
>>31562760
ok senpai
>>31562760
I am down for Multis if other people are.
>>31562760
yes
>>31562765
>>31562767
>>31562780
I will host
>>31557783
No worries. I'll try to be up all night.
>>31555404
>>31555469
T-Thanks for the support, but I believe I can still lose against Sorry and his EQs + Anthony (if he makes it) + the winner of losers.
>This entire time I didnt know you could export sets from smogon into Pkhex to quickly make a pokemon
Pic related is me
>>31562826
Oh neato, I'm down for playing after these multis if you're free.
>>31562850
We can wait for your battle if you want.
>>31562869
Nah have your fun
>>31562869
Well, I don't want to hold people up. If someone else wants to hop in for multis they're more than welcome but otherwise I'm down for multis first.
>Still testing normal, flying and poison sets
Worst part is that showdown is a horrible place to test this
Checking out for lunch. Will be back for more multis in 20 minutes of so if people are keen.
I really need to make a dank team for these.
Summoning Mige to eliminate me from the tourney.
>>31563062
I'll be up for testing shit in a couple of day or two when i bank stuff over.
>bright powder horse
GG
>>31563126
nope it was assvest my dude
>mike's face
>>31562826
I'm free whenever you would want to battle, already added you. Good luck
>>31563176
I felt a bad for triggering Musdale's final form for Mike to clean up..
>>31563185
les go
>>31563095
That would help me out.
Still undecided.
Another issue is that if the new tourney is in the next month, I won't be able to participate since I will be on travel. Either way, it was fun to lose lol
>>31563329
Date is still undecided.
Gross games, I got wrecked hard lol
Game 2 is going on right now but I've already lost, Raymoo 2-0
>>31563522
Steel gonna win it all
Raymoo crush fairies desu
>>31563568
Yeah I take solace in the fact that he'll hopefully beat all the Fairy and Ice trainers that lie ahead.
>>31563568
>>31563582
By the way, that dc was because I forgot I didn't have my usual outfit, but fuck it. Sorry for the games, too. Hope you end as a leader.I also don't want to cuck Shane and Hamwall out of their semis promised battles.
>>31563582
Wanna continue the multis now?
>>31563661
Why are you sorry? I didn't mean to sound butthurt I just got thrashed hard. You had a great team and made fantastic plays, you deserved that win and it was fun seeing not paraswag keys.
>>31563708
I was memeing because of your name.
>>31563676
Oh yeah sure if you would like I'll hop right back on.
>>31563716
My name should be Slow and Doesnt Get Jokes, it would be more accurate.
>>31563791
You getting the requests? Gonna try reconnecting.
>>31563810
I am, both times it stayed in the "accepting" screen before telling me that connection with the other player had been lost. Very odd stuff, I haven't had issues with connecting with people prior to today. Maybe my connection is wonky.
>>31563661
>I also don't want to cuck Shane and Hamwall out of their semis promised battles.
I'd be okay losing to you desu. I'd also take solace in the fact I could meme BURASTO about myself being cucked out a victory. We can play now or later if you'd like. Also if Luna is here, I finished a rough mono poison team. That mirror match is waiting.
What is up my dudes, in for the night now. Mono anyone?
>>31563909
Hit me up for mono bby. Also, I take it back Raymoo. Our match can wait. The lower half of the bracket hasnt caught up and Id like some prep time.
>>31563907
let the extra memeing start then
>>31563942
Alright, fuck it, I'll jump online in a few.
>>31563941
Nice. Finishing up my poison team, having a difficult time deciding the last member.
>>31563958
We still playing?
>>31563984
Yeah. My ass beating can wait :'3
>>31563998
Think of this as an example of what's to come.
>>31561176
Yeah, right here, lol.
Interesting, was expecting garbodor as your t spike setter. Nidoqueen is cool too with poison tail.
>Wimpod didnt emergency exit
NANI?
Interested in what you, or anyone, thinks of my poison team. Any suggestions welcomed.
Vileplume
Dragalge
Alolan muk
Toxapex
Toxicroak
Any suggestions for the sixth member or replacements?
>>31564206
No idea, I thought it would to. Saving as a replay. I know recoil or status doesn't activate it but you used an attack.
>>31564255
>Had to guess whether you'd attack or roost
Fug. Choosing between using SP or Taunt is awful.
>>31564269
GG shane, bugs too strong.
In all honesty I have a lot of confidence in this bug team, feels like a good balance of different rolls.
>>31564294
Yeah. It's looking like you be the next champ/gym leader. The types are varied enough that I can't spam one move/ wall it with one pokemon. Im sure my poison team will be better once I round it out. That or I'll go water/grass and have some fun with BULK the team.
>>31564336
Have to ask, why skunk over muk or snips?
>>31564411
>Skunk over muk or snips
Skunk is THE FUCKING STRONG in that it can stop set ups/walls and prevent revenge killing with sucker punch. Loved it a lot in D/P, so I figured Id give it a shot again in this team. I figured it and snips didnt fill the same role.
>>31564459
I'm onrine by the by
>>31564512
Alright man. See you soon.
>>31563083
If you're still around, then let's get this over with.
>>31564542
i'm just going to wait for a crit
>>31564799
Give me a bit, I haven't even added you yet.
BURASTO. Good games Raymoo. I'll get you in finals though, just you wait mang.
Are there any replays of the last two tournament battles?
>>31565236
Working on them you nameless assassin.
Welp, it's time to give up the ghost. GGs Cerise.
I can finally say that I conquered my worst enemy, Aegislash, thanks to copious amounts of flinchhax.
Good games, Mige.
Round 1 was really tense, I wasn't sure if Mamo could balk on Chandy.
Cerise wins 2-0 against Mike
MDRG WWWW WWW4 SUHP
Y83G WWWW WWW4 SUY3ps mamo doesn't have thick fat, flamethrower would have killed
>>31565433
>mike

why do the our ghost trainers have similar names
>>31565433
>mamo doesn't have thick fat
Are you serious? Shit, that would turn the games around if I had known. Oh well.
>>31565518
Native Alolan Swinubs can't have their HA, because they're from Island Scan.
Game 2 wouldn't have changed, but you'd have won Game 1, which means we could have had a third match.
Who knows how that would have gone?
