Perfectly balanced pokemon game
>>737571270I respect number 4 for having the most unique team there
>>737571270Woah! They introduced over a thousand new pokemon, and Venusaur is STILL super relevant? Not even powercrept?Now that's what I call balance!
Far from the worst vgc has ever been. You'd know that if you actually paid attention to the shit you post about, stupid faggot
>>737571270Why is Hisuian Weavile so dominant?
>>737571407>Rotom Wash>Tyranitar>Excadrill>unique
>sun>sun/sand>sun>sand>sun>none>none>none>sun>noneuuuuh rainbros??? pelipperchads???? our response??????
>>737571270>"""""""""""competitive""""""""""" pokemon in 2026
>>737571270wait until Landorus is available and you will witness true horror
Pokemon has had awful balance from the first game and has never improved. There's no reason to believe it ever will.
>>737571270>have better win lose >not first
Oh, is Kingambit or whatever his name is actually good?
>>737573119always had beendefiant is op when intimidate is everywhere
>>737571270competitive pokemon always goes the route of cookie cutter meta teams
are mega evolutions still a thing? damn I'm surprised, in GEN 6 they were cool, I had a lot of fun with my bro Mega Sableye
>>737573262They weren’t a thing, but got brought back for ZA and now Champions.
>>737572420It's 120 speed stat means that very few pokemon can outspeed it, even with tailwind up. It having 130 attack means it can steal KOs or put the opposing pokemon in one shot range. Plus it's exclusive attacking move has a 30% chance of giving either a poison, paralyze, or sleep status.
>Aerodactyl everywheregive me a QRD
Why the fuck is 12-1 ranked below 11-2?
competitive pokemon is the most retarded nonsense I've ever seen.anyone who actually does competitive is not a functional human being
>>737574043bot post
>>737573880typical pokemon tournament structure starts with a group stagethe 16 or so players who managed to get the best W/L advance to a knockout tournament ('top cut')so you can go undefeated in your pool, advanace to top cut and then get knocked out by someone who lost one game in pools
>>737573879Basically most of the other good tailwind setters are gone, so he's just what people are working with. Still decent, especially since Charizard is a big threat at the moment.
>>737573879Outspeeds and kills both Sneedler and Charizard Y, can set up tailwind or use wide guard to block spread moves
>>737574043super effective post
>>737571270Quick rundown on Yard?
>>737572597Mega evos help win weather wars and there's no mega evo with drizzle
>>737571270Who the fuck cares about competitive pokemon? It's for faggots.
>>737575137you say that about every game
>>737574910It sets up Sun, then you blast everything with 159 Special Attack Heat Waves or Weather Balls until they dieYou also run Solar Beam for trolling Water or Rock types
>>737574910Gets a free sunny weather on activation, so it can spam heat wave and solar beam. Plus it's really fast.
>>737573879Dual wing beat one shots that cotton picker Whimsicott and Sneasler even if they are sashed, tailwind, one shots Charizard from Kanto, also wide guard if you want
>>737572458No one else has a Rotom or the bird, faggot. Yes it's the most unique THERE. Get reading comprehension, stupid fuck.
>>737571270can you use 2 megas now?
compshitters are exclusively people who wet the bed well into their 30s and lack the intelligence to play actual strategy games, so resort to beating up small children insteadit's an entire community of chris-chans
>>737571270>i dont like melee because the best characters are 5it's the sets and how they play that makes it interesting. keep in mind that most players when building early meta they just use the most successful team out there, even if not the most optimised
>>737573262They'll be gone soon. Other gimmicks are to replace them to keep the game fresh, and then they'll come back and leave again.
>>737579181actual strategy games like what? what do you like to play for example?
>>737578623Just because the context is different doesn't suddenly make it unique.
>>737579142No, but the available item pool is so bad right now and you only bring 4 mons anyway so running two megas even though you can only use 1 is a viable strategy
>>737579142No but Champions is excluding a lot of the items for this season so some people are bringing multiple megas to use the appropriate one for that game
>>737579142No, but since you only bring 4 of your 6 pokemon to a battle having 2 megas in your lineup gives you some flexibility when choosing which mega you actually want in the fight without wasting an item slot.
>>737571270>charizard and venasaur on topKANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>737579375retard
>they had to nuke that many pokemon and items to make charishart viableembarrassing
I already knew how retarded pokemon combat was when I was playing yellow and was 9>bro just one shot the enemy over and over again>but what's defense for>who cares XDtrying to larp it as a competitively viable game is pants on head retarded, it's got no skill expression whatsoever and it's filled to the brim with RNG, nobody's going to seriously look at it and think 'yeah this makes for a good pvp game' unless you're 10 and not serious about it, if pokemon wasn't the multi billion giant that it is, everyone would just point at any retard playing it and make fun of them for even calling it a multiplayer game
>>737571418Its only relevant because it has a mega
>>737579567>>737579595>>737579612cheers bros, i'm out of touch now
>>737579838Hey Rinya Sun was a strong team back in Gen 8
>>737571270Where is Mew?
>>737579967>it's got no skill expression whatsoeverkek. you couldn't beat a tournament player 1 time in a 10000 matches and still say that? the skill expression is vast
>>737571270>Jorge>Juan>Joseph>Jiang>CONAN
>>737572420Dire Claw, STAB Fighting for almost any Steel type that otherwise would be immune to it, fast Fake Out, has 130 Atk just because fuck you, can hold White Herb so if it gets Intimidated or uses Close Combat it becomes the fastest thing in the whole game and resets those stat drops.
>>737571270>That gigachad with not one but two Kanto starters in his team
>>737571270of course it's a korean that's better than literally everybody in the world
>>737571270>only the americans have the most unique teams compared to the others.
>>737579375Nice attempt, faggot. Just admit you read what I said wrong and be a bigger person for once.
>>737580730>nooooo don't say thatand the bitch couldn't beat me at any game I play, yeah, my point exactly retard
>>737571270Mah boi is irrelevant :(
>>737574910because functionally, its stats may as well look like this when it uses a Fire-type attack
>>737582485https://showdowntier.com/formats/dma/index.htmlscroll down, look at Pokemon by Win %
>>737571270uhh, where is Wolfey?
>>737582694>He fell for the Wolfey is good at competitive Pokemon memeKekaroo, this retarded jew uses skill swap gimmick teams unironically. He's washed up.
>>737582643>1271 average ratingIs this for the in game ladder because that's absurdly bad
>>737582485Mega blastoise fucks shit up with water spouts, though.
>>737571270It's things like this that bums me out when things are taken to such extremes that it completely breaks the ideology the game was supposed to be designed around. It's a reminder most of the Pokemon are useless beyond combat because there's not much else you can do with your Pokemon beyond beauty pagents and I actually welcomed that because atleast other Pokemon can be good for different things besides brainless combat over literally nothing.
>almost 30 different PokemonDon't show op what standard magic rankings look like lmao
>>737571407no competitive pokemon players deserve respect
>>737582037No, I didn't. Calling Room-W a unique and respectable team in any context is just wrong.
>>737571270This is probably the most usage normal Aerodactyl has seen in 30 fucking years, though.
>>737584092Pokemon casual elitists are crazy and have a delusion where “it’s like da anime” and nobody has any overlap lol>>737584743When is the last time Aero was in a pre legendary regional dex even?
I hope they add more weather and terrain effects, or ways for Pokemon to remove those effects. Right now people are punished for not running a Sun/Rain setter which makes things kinda samey.
