Final SV usage stats.
>>59120713>FinalEh? They're gonna be counting Champions as the "next gen" format?
>fanficshit
>>59120719It's a new set of Pokemon.
Did I miss something about Ogerpon? I can't recall Wellspring ever being Top 10.
>>59120713>>59120715>>59120718So what caused the hisuian mons to fell off so hard? Especially hisuian sammurott and its sneaky pebbles sword
>>59120719champion doesn’t include all of sv dumbass
>>59120750>>59120754Yeah I know, a different set of mons than SV and the new Megas are essentially 40~ odd mons being dropped in meaning it wouldn't be compatible with Gen 9. I just figured they'd run it as a side thing until Winds and Waves while keeping SV as the "main" format.
>>59120753Popularity. Whenever a vip like Finchinator or Wolfie says>lol Lokix is my new favorite because of le arbritary reasons>lol Samurott-H is shit now because that one pokemon was banned / that other strategy we developed works much betterthen everyone follows them.
>>59120753It sets Spikes not Stealth Rock retardsis
>>59120713Cinderace ended up the last one standing of the Protean/Libero nerf (I know he still ran Blaze too)
>>59120713Singles is a clown format
>>59120715Is it just me or are Sandslash and Donphan doing well lately
>>59120878donphan has spin, built in sash, pretty good eq, and ice shard. people just realizing its little tusk.
Sorry but I'm jacking off to Zoroark rn.
>>59120890respect
>>59120888lmao those moves had Donphan since gen 4 iirc.Another L for smoggies to realize they're 15 years too late.
>FinalSurely they're not deprecating SV, are they? Champions is too different from the mainline games to be considered a replacement for them.
>>59120967How is champions too different?
So their Champions format will be all the new and returning ZA Megas, with Mega Evolution as the only gimmick with no Teras?
>>59120732Hey Verlisify
>>59120967Champions is just the mainline battle system but without the JRPG elements.Like the Stadium duology/trilogy or Battle Revolution.
>>59120980>>59121013Lack of IVs significantly buffs Foul Play and nerfs Gyro Ball, and limits options for Beast Boost and Booster Energy.
>>59120989Who?Your fanfic meta is still fanfic no matter who your boogeyman is.
>>59121020And how does that make it "too different"?
>>59120983I guess it'll depend on how much freedom you get when making private battles in champions since the game itself won't have a ladder for 6v6. I imagine at first OU will be only megas since it'll be the only gimmick in the game, but we don't know yet how the game will work when more gimmicks are added. If there comes an option where the trainer gets to choose to use whatever gimmick they want then it will be up to the community on what gimmicks are too strong or not fun. Unless they embrace the chaos which seems unlikely.
>>59120732>>59120859>>59121022>I don't care about smogon but I will always always always ALWAYS reply to smogon threads.
>>59120756WiWa was leaked to have PLA battle system, Champions will be the current new format now and maybe forever
>>59120859Clowns are fun, unlike VGC
>>59120713>ogerpon, dragonite and kingambit still not banned
>>59121365To put you smug bastards in your place.

>>59121592>>Having a superiority complex over what competitive Pokemon format you playThat is what most Smogonites are like.
>>59121622Most singles players think VGC is cool even if they don’t personally enjoy playing it. Meanwhile, VGC players get incredibly smug about the fact that singles is a “fanfic” meta and go out of their way to be annoying about it, kind of like what you are doing right now.
what mons in SVOU wont be in ChampionsOU?
>>59121739Paradoxes at least at the start
>>59121700Most VGC players are cool with Smogon. It’s just Yawnfag and little kids that hate how Smogon bans their favorite crutch strategies.

>>59121845Dragonite gets Tera
>>59122285I'm more impressed at the consistency. It's like every generation, something allows that barney to stay relevant.
Uh ohStinky
>>59121387
>>59121029They hate the idea of not having a trick room team using pokemon with 0 IV in speed. But it's not like trick room teams were a thing in years.
>>59120715UU is really funny, a bunch of strong legendaries, previous OU meta staples... and the regional early route bug
>>59120913Donphan has been used for the same stuff since Gen 4 too.
