Tyranitar's Cup ft. Greninja and friends.

>>32931126
It's doubles so Greninja is trash

What's a good mon to deal with Greninja? Consider that it's an online competition and that most people aren't going to go full smogon.

>>32931150
says singles on PGL

>>32931150
It's not though

>>32931172
How about Breloom?

>>32931187
Downloadable in-game rules say Doubles.

>>32931219
oh

>>32931047
Stealing this team because I'm useless at teambuilding :^)

>>32931219

half the selection is immune to spore tho

>>32931219
Breloom is great since alot of things will be weak to either grass or fighting. Rock types will be both so less worry about weakness berries.

Worth noting that aside gunk shit Greninja, there are no steel or poison types so anything can be toxic poisoned.

>>32931251
You know Breloom can do more than Spore right?

>>32931195
According to Serebii, the English site says Singles while Japanese PGL and Download Rules say Doubles.

Joe has pointed out how many mistakes the English PGL keeps making so it's probable the Japanese side is right

>>32931150
The roster is filled with so much garbage that Greninja might push through this time around

>>32931172
Conkeldurr and Mach Punch was used to some effect for a while back

>>32930955
>Ampharosite only coming up now
Thanks for fucking nothing gamefreak

Bumping

Hydreigon any good?

It should be

>>32932420
maybe ill go

Tapu Bulu
Slowbro
Terrakion
Hydreigon
Togekiss
Greninja

It doesn't seem like there's anything restricting protein.
Won't that subvert the entire point of the tournament?

>>32932503
what the fuck is protein

>>32932517
It's an item that gives 10 Attack EVs to a Pokemon. But I think he means Protean.

>>32932503
That's an interesting point but it's not like it enters the battle with a different type

>>32932503
Means Protean-Greninja just needs Ice, Poison, and Water moves to deal with all the common types across the board, with its final move being whatever one wants.

Wow, maybe it is time for my Decidueye to finally make its debut.

Wait...so you can only have type reducing berries or Weakness Policy as held items?

Wow, this is going to be weird.

Vespiquen has unnerve.

GG all berry holders

>>32930955
I was sad when I read it was a singles competition since it has such a fun gimmick, but then this happened >>32931219

Now I'm really excited for this and cannot wait until it begins.

>>32933076
Tyranitar also has Unnerve

>>32933044
It's gonna be FUN. It's a guess who's got the Weakness Policy, and trying to figure out a way around the weakness berry you think your opponent is holding, or this
>>32933076

There's also Tyranitar, if you don't make a sand team.

>>32933044
Definitely weird, I think it might be kinda fun. Tbh I like the random rules sets on these online comps. Nice change up from the norm and lets other Pokémon get a shot at being effective.

>>32933098
>>32933104
I forgot aerodactyl as well.

GG Vespiquen, once again you've been outclassed

>>32931014

>>32931150
>>32932664
Have fun doing mediocre damage without a Life Orb or surviving a hit without a Focus Sash
I doubt Greninja will be that good here, it's offensive stats are subpar, even with the Protean boost.

I'm more worried about Tyranitar (which I think will be the dominating mon), Hydreigon, the Latis and Terrakion. Maybe Breloom too.

>>32932330
Damn, no Steel types so no STAB Steel moves. Looks like Togekiss will be really useful.
Only Tapu is Bulu so that'll fuck up sand teams with Ground type users.
Weather setters are Tyranitar, Gigalith, and Abomasnow, so a lotta sand, and you might be able to use Unnerve T-Tar.

>>32933163
I can see Greninja and Decidueye using the Pledges to screw with all the sand teams.

>>32932330
is Queenly Majesty gonna be worth a damn?

>>32933548
Yes, no Lele mean people will bring priority moves.

Out of interest, is Fluffy Bewear allowed or not since the ability gives it a fifth weakness?

>>32933609
Since protean greninja is allowed, I'd think not.

>>32933609
see
>>32932330
Technical weaknesses due to an ability are not real weaknesses

Lol Greninja Tyranitar and mons like them are going to dominate. Articuno too maybe it its allowed maybe Talonflame as a suicide lead.

When will they stop chilling the frog?

What about Dhelmise?

Jesus Christ, I can't think of a single Pokemon with 5 weaknesses off the top of my head. The ones in the picture don't count because they were given to me.

I am actually interested in this but I don't want the Mega Stones.

every mono rock and grass type, for starters

>>32937563
You don't need to know them off the top of your head. Serebii already has a list of eligible Pokemon on their online competition page. Or you can just check this anon's post >>32932330, which I think is accurate too.

Is this a competition where monbug can finally shine?

*blocks your path*

Desperately need altarite.. if only PGL fucking worked

Wait, there's an item restriction? That's cool as hell, I'm actually kind of excited for it. But can they hold duplicates this time?

Absolutely no idea what kind of team to use. I don't even really know what's eligible. I've got some pokes mentioned in the thread already bred and maybe trained, so I could cobble together an emergency team if I need to.
Any neat gimmicks I might wanna try out?

>>32938205
Figure it out yourself retard.

What's a good set for Poliwrath? Water Absorb looks useful but the smogon sets are trash

I've almost never played online, what is the point where a base speed stat isn't awful for an attacker?
Is 71 acceptable, or is that still in shitmon range?

>>32939247
High speed is usually at the 112 mark and higher, 71 is definitely shitmon speed.

Which pokemon has the most weakness? All I could think of rn is Shedinja

>>32940189
grass/ice, grass/psychic, grass/dark, rock/psychic, rock/fighting, and rock/dark all are tied with 7 weaknesses
rock/ice, however, is the most vulnerable to all attacks
and dark/psychic has no resistances
