So since they decided to hold mega stones hostage (bastards...)

>>31886182
6 random legal pokemon
2 with no held item

I just threw together an electric team. I'm doing 3 battles and I'm out.

>>31886200
>>31886196

Yeah I kind of figured people would just say "fuck it" and do this for the stones. I thought about it too but I couldn't help trying to be competitive about it.

I know they did it to garner more interest but idk if they were expecting this type of reaction.

I decided to register too. After 3 battles, I'm stopping.

I accidently missed the registry by 5 minutes and Im pissed

>>31886211
Well I'd never done one of these before, so I didn't know it would lock my team once I registered.
I'll still try to win, but I don't have much faith.

Multiscale D-nite @ nothing
Mimikyu @ nothing
Koko @ Life Orb
Lele @ Specs
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Milotic @ Leftovers

>>31886229
Just inject it :^)

>>31886229

I thought I was fucked too since Serebii says 5pm but the global link website has them up till 6:59 so....you still I have time.

>>31886240

It doesn't lock your team until you do your first battle apparently.

>>31886246
It says the deadline has passed

>>31886261
Ah, maybe I'll try to swap it up beforehand.
Thanks anon

>>31886267

Said 6:59 earlier, that's odd.

I'm sorry then

>>31886182
My usual VGC17 team. Too lazy to make a new one.

It's 3 battles to get the stones right?

>>31886400
yep

>Masters Division
>Get matched up with Japanese kids using underevolved mons.

I have a Koko+A-Raichu meme lead

>>31886211
If they continue making Mega Stones registration gifts going forward, I think it's safe to say that wifi is gonna suck particularly hard this gen.

Hopefully they'll learn their lesson and make all the stones obtainable in-game next time.

>>31886182
>So since they decided to hold mega stones hostage
They're not, everyone will get them a month after the competition participants. By the way, what hour does this start?

>>31886450

30 minutes ago

>>31886450

7 est apparently (it has begun!)

>>31886400
I'd say do some extra, as I did a shitton of GTS trading but it says that I'm ineligible for the Friend Ball.

>>31886450
Started already since in Japan the start time has passed

>>31886432

It's just really shitty, I know why they did it but people are so bitter about the idea (myself included) that most of them don't care to take it seriously.

I agree that this is the worst possible way to hand these out to people but hey....I only participated in like 3 competitions last gen so it's already working on me sadly.

I can't decide what choose. I just have same mememons

>>31886492
Yeah, I'm pretty bitter myself.
I'm kind of interested in seeing the usage stats once this weekend is over. I've got a feeling we'll see something like Pikipek being the most-used mon, with the actual competitive Pokemon so few and far between that nobody will be able to accurately plan for serious tournaments.

Meta? We don't need no stinkin' meta.

>>31886432
Next game will probably have all, the real fuck up is that they set them to untradeable. Same as the crystals. Kiss your Snorlium/Mewnium goodbye when resetting.

>>31886559
believe me, it's just a normal tournament

I want to do trick room team too! Would you share your set? I still need an injectbro to help me get 3 mons for tomorrow

My shiny Trumbeak managed to pick up a KO on a Decidueye. And I got to fight Satan. All in all, a good set of three games.

>>31886182
I'm so butthurt about this. I thought that the whole point of having a VGC ladder was so that the monthly competitions wouldn't be wasted on this but it looks like this is only the first of many. I bet all the mega stones will only be given away for these international challenges and the more interesting ones will only give out battle points.
I just made a team of route one trash and forfeited my 3 matches.

>>31886832

Yeah I wouldn't mind if it was one of the interesting ruleset ones like Fairy Garden or the speed competition (I actually participated in those and liked them), but I always stayed away from the "Double battle, VGC rules, final destination only" ones. Being forced to do one does feel shitty.

>>31886832

>being butthurt about the third monthly competition in a series being a format you don't like

The point of these is to have a rotating ruleset every month. Maybe you should write a letter to John Gamefreak so that in the future only formats you happen to like are featured.

I'm running a pretty standard team of Garchomp/Fini/Arcanine/Gigalith/Mandibuzz/Magnezone. Really interested how that last slot is gonna work out considering I've been toying with it for a while now and that seems like it could patch up my Celesteela/TR weakness.

>>31886832
i dont understand why would thus bother you so much. Do you even like pokemon or you dont like losing to VGC nerds?

>>31886832
Well, it awards Championship Points without having to leave your home. Granted they're few but a few points make all the difference.

Also FUCK because I don't have a team ready. Guess I'll play later or tomorrow I guess, just wanted to catch the stream of people forfeiting or throwing matches so I could get an inflated rank and leave it there.

>I should be fine that the current competition is already an available format
Going by last gen these will be the rules for every other monthly competition.

>>31886907
I just want variety, I would be just as upset if the rules were just a copy paste of the singles or doubles ladder and as I've already said this will most likely be the competition every other month.

>>31886923
Aren't they not even enough to qualify for big events?

>>31886946

Better get used to it, sweetie, because these International Challenges are a part of the VGC circuit. There will probably be two more of these this year if history is any indication.

>>31886832
Why do people never read the fucking announcements?
People will get the Mega Stones EARLY for participating, everyone else will get them later via some other distribution

>>31886946
but why no variety bothers you so much. you are just repeating what vp told you. Pokemon is fun because when you battle you have to predict and gather information to make great decisions, the mon doesnt matter.

Post battles of yours that made you laugh.

3BEW-WWWW-WWW5-JJ7X

I forgot Sludge Wave hit your ally so I ended up murdering my own team to victory.

>>31886959
They tend to do them every other month so we have April,June, and August. Maybe even July.

>>31886969
But how much later? It could be anywhere between a couple of weeks and months.

>>31886996
It's not about Pokémon variety, it's about battle format variety. I can already play VGC format anytime since it's a permanent ladder, why couldn't we get a flash clash or little cup?

>>31886900
>>31886182

I don't get why anyone's really upset about this. It's only a month early, for a small game with nothing more to achieve it's nice working for something.

>>31887022
i would love little cup. But it'll never happen. It's too hard for casuals.

>>31886182
i just said "fuck it" and grabbed the first 6 mons i could use in the tourney.
i ended with 3 battle tree mons and 3 filler mon.
Tapu Koko @ Nothing
Dhelmise @ Leftovers
Vikavolt @ Choice specs
Decidueye @ Nothing
Silvally @ Dragon memory
Gastrodon @ Nothing
I somehow ended up winning 80% of the battles i did.

>>31887022
There isn't a specific time stated but the point is that everyone will be able to get the stones

And no Flash Clash, there was so much fucking Perish Song with Dive/Protect cancer

>>31887054
They did one last gen.

>>31887022
>>31887054
The fuck are you talking about? We do have those kind of tournaments you know? They just mix some international challenges in between. I remember playing Little Cup last gen and playing the Sneasel, Scyther, Swirlix core (the cancer banned in smogon), or the Eeveelutions one, or the Sinnoh only one, etc.

Porygon2, Primarina, A-Exeggutor and A-Marowak. I specialized in UU Trick Room in Gen 4 and even though I'm nervous at shit and mediocre at battling, I'll try to win 3 straight battles.

Even worse, I sent out my Salamence against a Mandibuzz and Dhelmise before I even realized what I had done

F

Is confirmed you have to battle? Is not enough just register? And give source.

Three battles with singles mons and out. Haven't paid attention to doubles since netbattle gen3-4 and not about to start now.

>>31886400
Do we have to win these three battles or just have three battles whether we win or lose?

>>31887551
just three battles.
so if you don't care just enter and get bodied 3 times, you'll get the stones anyways

>>31887526
>Do I have to run in the marathon that I registered in to get the commemorative medal for running in the marathon that is awarded when you cross the finish line?

>>31887569
Goddammit, I don't like doubles and never put a team for it, can run away three times? Does that counts?

>>31887526
Yes, you always have to complete 3 battles to get the prize.

You don't have to be good, just pick a team of shitmons and get obliterated 3 times. Only takes a few minutes of your time.

Fucking retarded. Watch them do version exclusives so you have to buy both games.

Was intending to do 3 battles but I lost badly on my third so I played a couple more to get practice in. Will see if I go for more if I feel like it later. 2 victories, 3 losses.

>>31887597
Well goddammit I hate singles but I like to play the online competitions the last two were singles and participated to see how I would do get over it

>>31886885
The worst part of these is that you can only use things you bred in the current gen. I'm not about to fucking rebreed everything I own just to be able to play in online shit. I'm glad the tapus and UBs can enter so I don't have to put so much effort into breeding anything.

It's as a trick room hard counter altho I haven't gotten the chance yet. Great defenses pretty good attack. should be the slowest pokemon on the field, but it has first impression and sucker punch to make up for it. I use it with nhilego to gang up on the biggest threat first turn and it's great for coming back late game to help out chansey.

i'll battle a few times, probably rage quite after the first three since i'm shit at competitive. I have tapu lele, xirkitree, absol, alolan dugtrio, and ducideye all ev trained up and with items. though hi'm rather salty they won't let me use my absolite.

>>31889310
I try to take down Porygon 2 as quickly as possible,so most people don't have the chance to use T-Room.

just having Koko/Raichu in team preview makes for some fun turn 1s

Drizzle Pelipper + Tapu Koko Electric Surge, then just spam Hurricane and Thunder, the other 4 are for backup
Salamence and Xurkitree for Moxie and Beast Boost
Salamence and Porygon-Z for the Z-Move and Golisopod for priority

Is there any way to change your location on PGL? Or at least the time zones.

Kinda unrelated but does anyone know what happens if you throw Normalium-Z on a mon and use Natures madness in terrain? Does it stay as breaknitz blitz or does the z move change to match the terrain? Bulbapedia and pokemondb give conflicting answers.

>>31889493
Ok, what are the other three moves on mence, I'm confused, but intrigued

I want to try this out in the competition, I'm still fairly new so I'm open to many ideas and hopefully not make my teams so balanced.

Literally registered just for the stones, fuck 'em

>>31889869

All of the "legandaries" this gen are shiny locked so anyone trying that would get banned....


Why do you guys even want the damn mega stones if all you do is forfeit three battles to get them? Their entire point is for battling and you're refusing to do it in the first place.

>>31889869
Are Tapu's and Ub's even counted as legendaries?

>>31889431
I really want to get a Krookodile just for Power Trip shenanigans. I've just been too lazy/busy to do it.

>>31889881

The game coding has them labeled as "sub legends" along with Silvally/Type:Null, so autists who think legendaries need to be banned have an extra excuse to hate them.

>>31886211
I was planning to do the full 10 a day...my third battle came down to a porygon2 duel. Enemy was poisoned, knocked off eviolite, I had a special attack boost from download, but I only had 6 or 7 ice beam shots, and ice beam + poison did just shy of 50% damage. Opponent refused to forfeit, he got crits, 2 freezes with his ice beam, fully pp'd recover (I didn't, and I've learned my lesson).

I won, but I decided I'd rather take the mega stones and get out.

>>31889874
Not him, but maybe he only plays against friends. I know I do.

So do you have to do three batles like in previous comps to get the stones or can you just register a team, wait four days and then recieve the stones?

>>31890119

Meh, I usually just stick some shitty stuff together and sometimes it works.
I remember the last time I did a competition (for the luxurious prize of a shiny Mewtwo), I used:
Gardevoir, hardy nature, spam hypnosis while wearing a spare choice scarf
Shedinja, attempt to find a Kyogre, holding a Lum Berry, which ironically enough, saved it several times
Mega Altaria, probably injected since I got it on the GTS and it had perfect everything and moves, but it always died like a bitch

That said, before I lock in my team and do my first battle, could somebody spot me a rare candy or to so I can get my Koko to 100 to hyper train it?

Holy shit, I did way better than I expected. I've got very little doubles experience, but for the most part I simply outplayed the opposition. Alolawak and Araquanid made for a very solid core, and I lead with them often. Scarfchomp was the MVP (Get fucked, other Kokos and Chomps). My own Koko was a great asset, and while Buzzwole and Decidueye rarely hit the field they both put in some work. Nobody expects the Featherdance.
My two losses were likewise a result of me getting outplayed. Can't complain about 'em. As for the guy who disconnected before the battle began, I'm pretty sure I had the team advantage.
All in all, good battles were had. I might upload some videos.

probably did something stupid that somehow made me get into double battles only and didnt have a proper team for that

>>31891183
all that matters is Nature. You just date-fuck your pocket monsters up to 100 in Poke Pelago and then feed them bottlecaps in the relevant stats. I do breed speed into my pokeymans with a nice Ditto but all the rest is just Pelago/shard trading/fishing for max stats.

Did 4 battles with some shit mons. Do I get the stones?

>>31893485
It's faster to breed to be honest.

I shiny hunt and in 5 boxes, you get 10-20 5iv+ pokemon

>>31893485
But fishing takes way longer usually. Sure, if you abuse the pelago glitch, you can get quite a bit of things, but otherwise bottle caps seem useless to me except for tapus/ubs/shinies.

I felt so sorry for this guy/girl. Didn't even get to land an attack.

N5UW-WWWW-WWW5-K78U

Is it only 15 total battles? I had 12 yesterday and stopped before midnight then did three more today and it said i'd reached my limit for the day.

>>31893688
I know, LT Hotpants the mandibuzz isn't enjoying this shit.

>>31893706
oh, okay. Gonna try to end up in 1700 at least, hope that give me some points. Thanks!

So, how did everyone finish out? 12-3 here.

>>31893796
Lemmy Smash the Buzzwole didn't get to give sum fuk properly.

>>31893783
3x 15 battles per day (00:00-23:59 UTC) = 45 total battles

>>31893664
You breed a 5-6 max IV Ferrothorn. Ok? Why do you need more than one? Are you realistically ever going to use multiples or trade them away? Their potential value for future breeding doesn't exist for a future game to shift them to yet.

In the 2 hours it takes to time-reset a pokemon to 100 in Pelago you get enough colored shards to bottlecap the stats you haven't already maxed by breeding with an SOS Ditto. It's tedious, but faster than breeding IMO

>>31893533
the setup involved to get to that point leads to a glut of high IV pokemon you may not even use. It seems faster to you because you're shiny hunting, not because you were trying to have competitive pokemon by the end of the week.

>>31892407
I ran into so many Tapu Kokos that either refused to predict the Alolawak switch or just outright used electric moves with Alolawak out anyway.

Like, what? Do people not know about Lightning Rod?

>>31893811
Same. Wish I could see where my points are at right now. I wonder if they'd be the same for everyone with the same W/L record, or if it depends on the ratings of the opponents you fight.

>>31893831
I'm sitting at like 1620 or some shit. Pretty content with that. Not sure if I wanna battle tomorrow. I was only in it for the stones. Team did some good work for one that was hastily slapped together.

>>31893783
you get to do more starting at 7PM EST, another 15, then 15 more Sunday.

>>31893830
>mfw doing like shit
>but won a match because a jap double earthquake'd with Bulu out

>>31893830
it's the only Tapu that's sort of forced on people by the storymode. Did they even make it rain?

>>31893719
you like Doubles Tree over Singles?

>>31893868
I never encountered any weather teams aside from this one sun team against a Jap using After You Lilligant, Torkoal, Oricorio and Turtonator.

>>31893828
Well, to be honest, usually getting 5 of the necessary IVs already takes me a box or two. At that point I might as well continue breeding if I wish for the 6IV. Even more since soft resetting my o3ds (which reboots 3 times as often as a n3ds to get to settings and back due to the need for extended memory. N3DS: sm -> settings -> reboot -> home menu -> sm. O3DS: sm -> reboot -> settings -> reboot -> home menu -> reboot -> sm) takes way fucking longer.

>>31893830
It's not just the Kokos. I ran into a Xurkitree that tried to Bolt my spider, only for it to get absorbed by my Wak.

In fact, Marowak's been such a good partner than my Araquanid's Wacan Berry has been absolutely useless so far. Should have put Waterium Z on it. Oh well.

>>31890484
Git gud seriously I was like that during oras and the first two comps this gen I went 25-20 so far I am 12-3 so I am improving and trying to think outside the box when it comes to strategy

>>31893879
Yeah, it's much easier to grind to 50+ for BP.

Problem is my tree team revolves around a mega which is banned, so for the friendly I'm using my three other tree-mons and a Celesteela I got on WT. (the other two are non-competitive mons I have no intention of using but are just there to keep the Porygons and Kokos out of the battle)

>>31892286
The first two competitions were singles and the first one was even no items

I find it funny how unprepared most teams are for tailwind, rain and hail teams can't compete vs base 70 speed on average and other Koko teams get ass blasted by shattered psyche Raichu A, most trick room teams can't handle mandibuzz and positive speed creeped Alola Marowak on average.

I'm not even trying to be anti meta, but tailwind is actually legit right now.

>>31893948
>Celesteela
Speaking of which, I only ran into one in all of my battles, and my Marowak got a crit Flare Blitz on it so it was annihilated before it did anything. I expected to see more of it. And on that subject...
>no sun teams
>two Drizzle Pelippers, lost to one
>two Snow Warning Ninetales, lost to the one that actually used Aurora Veil
>two Trick Room teams that didn't use Trick Room, beat both

So what's the most interesting team you battled? I ran into a japanese player who only had grass types that used Whimsicott with Gust on his Weakness Policy Tapu Bulu

>use team of favorites that are semi-viable but not OU-level viable
>fare well against similar teams
>get curbstomped every time by teams consisting solely of Tapus and UBs
really turns the cognition gears

>>31894061
One of my opponents led with Alolachu and Gyarados. I did not expect him to use setup moves on both on the first turn, wasted a Protect. Then I got Encore locked into Protect, then my other poke got Encore locked into Wide Guard...honestly, he dueled circles around me. I have no idea how I managed to win that fight.

There was also that Z-Teeter Dance Oricorio with a Lilligant teammate.
>Z-Teeter Dance raises Oricorio's speed, confuses both of my pokes while Lilligant is immune with Own Tempo.
>Lilligant uses Quiver Dance, and Oricorio copies it on top of the speed boost from earlier
I was fucking terrified. So much BOOSTO. But then my pokes both attacked through the confusion and one-shotted the both of them, averting what would have been a terrible crisis.

>>31894085
>opponent leads with both Koko and Lele
>Lele's field overwrites Koko's
>Koko used Thunderbolt while my Alolawak was right on the field
Don't worry, not all legend spammers are winning. Some are retards.

Any other threads like these at the moment? Too busy battling to ctrl+f for one.

>it's another "swept by Kartana and bad RNG episode"

>Z-Teeter Dance Oricorio with a Lilligant teammate
Part of me really wants to try this out. Do you remember what style of Oricorio it was?

No originality.

Is there a way to see your current rating? I've done 15 battles but I can only see my Win/Loss ratio from Pokémon GL and not my rating

>>31894460
Half tempted to forfeit against people who use more than one Tapu/UB just because they're literally impossible to beat with any lineup I choose unless they're retarded.

>>31894517
I've beaten a team of them in my 2nd battle. It's just annoying because everyone runs the same copypasta team. Also, Alola Ninetales is in every team I'm against. Go figure.

>had to PP stall Porygon2 twice in a row now

>>31894517
git gud

>>31894584
anon i've tried
kartana eats at least two of my mons before i can take it down, and the only tapus i can somewhat reliably take down are fini and bulu

>>31894600
I've not had any problems with Kartana, and I haven't even seen a Bulu.

Does this deserve a new thread?

Also, I'm feeling pretty unlucky today in battle my opponent Xurkitree managed to land two Thunders outside of rain and a two Zap cannons.

>>31894625
I went up against five or six Kartanas and lost to all of them. Only seen two Bulus, though, and I managed to gank one with my Lycanroc-Midnight's Fire Fang and something else.

>>31894628
Given that it's only Friday, I'd think so.

Just saw a Bulu but I'm >>31887355

I'm actually tipsy on wine (not even joking) and I ovepredicted on the Bulu and knocked out the Crobat (wouldn't have mattered because Trick Room) and ganged up on it. Lele is a big threat because its Speed, as well as Crobat and Talonflame. For any Trick Room users out there, if you're running P2, invest more Sp. Atk EVs and use Psyshock due to the number of Nihilegos, but run Protect on your attackers.

Kartana fucking annihilates most of my team (have to hope that I can hit it with Fling/Close Combat), and I've dealt with other problem mons with mixed success. Probably going to link a battle video or two next thread; managed to clutch out a match with Lycanroc-Midnight.

Also I'm retarded and forgot that Lycanroc-Midnight is holding a Metronome, not a Lum Berry. I had literally nothing else to give it at the time, and Metronome helps with Rock Slide spam.

>>31894722
I'd love to see one of your videos, but if you can post in this thread, I'll view it.

>haven't touched anything remotely competitive with pokemon since early gen 5
What the fuck have I been missing and what's the new hot shit?

>mimikyu on every team
Too bad I didn't brought mine, I bet they're not max speed

>>31894758
>>31894764
As well as the Tapus and Ultra Beasts and a few more. You're in for a wild ride.
>tfw doesn't have the gif with the wild ride skeltal

>>31894764
Replied to you for >>31894758 's sake, but most Mimikyus appear to be Adamant.
