Raising a loving family with Tatora! and creampieing her every night
Shit game
>>59152551your mom is shit
>>59152546i'm always a little surprised how much stuff like this slips by people who never played comp before. watch out for feint, though no one is ever going to run it in this
>>59152545in japanese he's clearly referred to as a man btw
But i don’t wanna battle randoms online i wanna battle the cute NPC girls
>>59152562And? How would that prevent anon from raising a loving family and creampieing tatora?
>>59152545this bitch is so ugly it's unreal lol
>>59152562yea?
>>59152528Probably not, actually. I never see them with electric types in those teams either. It's really the only team I struggle against, I've won all my other matches, but once ttar shows up I'm shit out of luck so far. My team is Archaludon, Mega Dragonite, Pelipper, Sinistcha, Basculegion, and then the last slot I really don't know what to put. Very weak to TTAR though. I feel like Mega dragonite should be running hydro pump or something, but then I either lose protect or the dragon move. Arch: 252 Speed/SPA Electro Shot, Protect, Draco Meteor, Flash CannonMDragonite: 252 HP 252 SPA Protect, Dragon Pulse, Hurricane, ThunderPelipper (sash): 252 SPA/252 Speed Hurricane, Wide Guard, Tailwind, Weather BallSinistcha: Live Dew, Rage Powder, Matcha, Strength Sap. Bold 252/252 (somehow can't live MTTAR Knock off?) Basculegion Adamant 252/252 Swift Swim Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, Flip Turn, Last Respects.Feels like I need protect on basculegion, I never use flip turn and never lead with it, but probably should be leading it against the TTAR matchup. Not sure why I haven't, they never lead the exa drill with it either. Feels like I just misplay constantly against the Sand matchup but there's a lot of guessing as to when/if they're even gonna mega evolve it and I want something to remove the guessing game, as it were.
>>59152555I’ll take her over this game
>>59152551This
>>59152545>her
saw someone using sylveon over non-mega floette as a generic fairy spammerwhy
>>59152568That only makes anon think he has a chance, plus she also wants a family as shown subtly by the tandemaus in her clothes
>>59152568She's my perfect woman
>>59152577That's the only other matchup I lost, I had no idea you could run mega floette. Came down to the wire, though. They had to hit through confusion and if they hit themselves they lost.
>>59152577It's one of the free mons
>>59152568why does she look... like 'that' ingame?
>>59152577because eternal floette requires you to buy the steaming pile of shit that is ZA
Any pokemon learn double team in champions? I wanna brightpowder evasionmax
Can anyone tell me if nicknames given in champions carry back to the mon in Home or not? Additionally, if you get master ball and get the ribbon/title in champs, does it show up back in SV or anything else?
>go on ranked>get gimmicked by minimize chandelure + psych up Ceruledge>accept that i got gimmicked once, keep grinding and start having a good time.>make it to Ultra Rank with Mega Dragonite + Tailwind Whimsicott and friends>suddenly Dragonite can’t kill anything and everyone has shiny incineroar, follow me mons, and shitJesus was i fighting bots before? Why such a jump in skill?
>>59152588https://serebii.net/attackdex-champions/doubleteam.shtml
>>59152588https://www.serebii.net/attackdex-champions/doubleteam.shtmlfroslass has snow cloak too, but that's basic shit. sandaconda has minimize (2x boost) and sand veil
>>59152545western tier design
So I love Tyranitar, and right now I just wanna climb through singles with him, I am transfering an Excadrill from HOME. What moveset and stat spread should I give the tar and the excadrill? Also recommend me at least a 3rd pokemon to go with those two...
>>59152545They remind me of the elderly crack whore i sometimes see walking down my street from the projects.
>>59152545Taking over the ugly bastard's club and granddaughter!
>>59152610rockslidebulldoze (with comp milotic)iron head
>>59152614can you get her number...?
>>59152610Volcarona seems pretty solid, or sinistcha. Redirect the nasty moves and either dodge them or just burn them. I think sinistcha would be better, personally.
Does Mega Sol ignore Sand's Special Defense boost?
>>59152633I doubt it, your moves are treated as being under the sun, not the entire field. So their special defense bonus from sand will still be a thing.
>>59152633It treats Meganium as if it’s in sun. It has no bearing on other pokemon’s stats.
Does transfering a mon to champions change in any way which game it has access to? Like transfering a mon to ZA prevents it from going back to older games?
>>59152635>>59152642Just asking cause I saw someone on Xitter talking about it one hitting Mega Ttar in sand.So it's either that or they forgot to implement Sand boosts.
>>59152534Competitive battling is TOO HARD This is NOT what I've been begging for
>>59152668multiscale doesn't always seem to work, so lol
>>59152693this is TOO EASY
>>59152539If you have to bank on a move mostly being able to hit and all of the moves that you want to miss are 100% accurate before modifiers (I think of Flare Blitz specifically, but you could definitely dodge Rock Slides and Heat Waves) then to be honest it probably isn't a winning strategy.I tried using Anger Point + Frost Breath leads and even that sucked because I was missing the Frost Breaths a lot of the time (felt much more than just a 10% chance to miss).
>>59152668my assumption is that you can't have more than 1 weather active at a time, and mega sol just completely overwrites any active weather when calcing an attack from meganium. technically speaking sand isn't actually active for the calc of mega-meganium solar beaming Ttar in sand, so it hits in one turn AND uses Ttar's base spdef
>>59152693Damn guess we need to cut 200 more Pokemon and items, this game is not casual enough
>take bulky ass glasses off character>suddenly sexo
What fucking normal type move are you supposed to run on Lopunny now that Return is gone?
honestly blunder getting dog walked by people in great ball is hilarious. electroshot into a raichu, funny dude
>>59152719double edge or headbutt lol
Anyone using Palafin? What team comp for his ass
>>59152587As opposed to playing another steaming pile of shit that is this game?
>>59152719Mega Kick is the highest BP normal move it gets if you don't count Flail
>>59152733Does it even get double edge? It's not on the champdex on serebii and it doesn't learn it in ZA

>>59152719>>59152742your best option is facadeyou could also take quick attack over mach punch if you want that for some reason and don't already have fake out but otherwise all you get is mega kick
stupid question but I’ve been running a Mega Golurk + Farigiraf Trick Room comp, with my usual strat being for Golurk to Protect on turn 1 then mega evolve and start attacking on turn 2 once Trick Room is goingis there any advantage to mega evolving on turn 1 when I use Protect instead?
>>59152756>not sending fr to everyone with a female trainer
we really, really need new clothes.
>>59152775It's not like we can ERP anon
>>59152693>Pokemon needs to be hard>No not like that
>>59152562Transfem, more specifically.She literally has trans in her name even.It's a pun on Tutorial and "Toransu"Her grandpa even has a female gallade in one of the tutorials.
>>59152774Golurk should always mega evolve immediately cuz it’s a straight upgrade and maybe they hit through protect or some shit
>>59152562Nice fanfic.
>>59152787>Her grandpa even has a female gallade in one of the tutorials.that's a bug, they announced that's being changed during the maintenance tonight (tomorrow? idk timezones are weird)
hahaha paralysis didnt trigger fuck you
>won a match solely because 3/4 of my Rock Slides caused a flinchI’m sorry to whoever that waswas some bullshit
>>59152545for me it's still her (picrel)anons? do you prefer home transfers or champion mons?
>>59152805They dropped paralysis rates from 25% to 12.5%Paraflinch and Parafusion are beyond dead
>>59152545So it wasn't a bad 3D model after all, she really does look like that
>>59152812I don't care about being competitive so champion monsI love Kieran so much it's unreal
>>59152783this nigga doesnt have the game chat button
>>59152812Why would I prefer fake ranchers over my real buds who have stuck with me through the years and have the ribbons to show for it?
is it worth grinding ZA for Mega Floette?
>Disconnect mid-match>Reconnecting just continued the matchUh, based? I had 20 seconds left on my move timer though.
>>59152848do you wanna win?
Recruited Meowstic in a Beast Ball
>>59152545Gotta think you guys live on the east coast. This looks like every south-east asian girl I’ve ever met
>>59152812Im not buying za, finishing sv, or reinstalling go so its purely recruiting in champions for me.
thinking about doing a sand team for doubles since sand has always been my go-to team since gen 5. So far I have:TyranitarExcadrillGarchompCorviknightNot sure about the other two slots. I was thinking Sinistcha and either gyarados or Rotom W. I also am unsure whether or not to run mega ttar or just stick with with base ttar, the ability to reset the sand upon mega evolution sounds decent but idk. Haven't played comp in a few years, so any advice on team composition or strategy would be greatly appreciated.
>>59152812Trans-fers are incredibly cheaper. I don't know why you'd ever use the ranch.>>59152866>Every south-east girl you know looks late-transition transfemDamn son, I know we're on 4chan but we're not on /pol/, crank the racism knob down a few pegs.
If your trainer has negative canthal tilt, it’s over for you before you even got on the ladder
T-Tar sand gang how we feelin?I'm pairing mine with trick room giraffe and a mega agron for the kaiju vibes.
>>59152881Not even joking, though, they just kinda have that look.
Mega Starmie is 1hkoing way more shit than I expected, it's fucking hilarious. Liquidation just dabbing on Charizard-Y despite setting up sun had me absolutely cackling.
>>59152856Max speed light of ruin and what else?
how common are shinies in this game? i have a recruit with a shiny hatterene, but theres a basculegion that i want to pick too since i heard it's core for rain teams. should i just pick the basculegion?
>>59152887what is your team? and is it singles or doubles?
>>59152890I’ve seen people guesstimate a 1/410 shiny rate on any given recruitment (so for one of the ten to be shiny), so it’s not terriblethat said I’ve seen a lot of Basculegions in my recruitments so you might as well nab the shiny
>>59152890basculegion is absolutely broken while hatterene is kinda shit rnif you arent using home id grab basc
>>59152883I'm doing a trick room team with Mega Glimmora and Mega TTar, Araquanid for Wide Guard support, Sinistcha for TR support, Rhyperior and scarf'd Hydreigon to catch people off guardCurrently Great Ball 2 and doing pretty well
>>59152545Help her
>>59152866damn, then I have south-east asian fever I need me a SEA gf...
>(mega) DNite>Mega Zard>Tony the Tigre>Mega FoslassI don't have any real VGC experience. Any Pokemon I can use to deal with these guys? I'm already running ScarfChomp but I was thinking about Mega Aerodactyl, but I'm probably not seeing anyone use it for a reason (assuming its in)
garbage at math, how does stat points differ from ev? or not at all? 252 is 31.5 (32)?
>>59152890I can just give you a basculegion lil bro
>>59152545rubbing Tatora's girlcock through her pantyhose while I tease her for not passing
Where are the Kitt fans
>>59152922Hope you’re white, because they looove white dudes>>59152927What’s your problem with dnite?
>>59152934i appreciate it friend, but i don't have pokemon home. ty though
>>59152927>(mega) DNiteMega Glimmora>Mega ZardMega Glimmora>Tony the TigreMega Glimmora>Mega FroslassYou're never gonna guess this but Mega Glimmora
>>59152927You need a strong fairy/rock mon.
>Every major weather setter is in for each weather with limited options elsewhere so the entire meta so far is literally just a four-way Sun/Snow/Sand/Rain Domain Clash with Mega Floette dropping nukes in betweenAt least it's not Reg H
>>59152931It's basically exactly the same except now we get 2 extra EV for a bonus stat point.
>>59152952ahhh no wonder it was kinda off. okay thanks
Who’s a good mon to rng in SwSh
>>59152927Find anything faster than 100 base speed and put rock tomb or rock slide on it. Enjoy your free wins vs zard.
>>59152897I'm fucking around in singles and still figuring out the weak pointsM-StarmieM-GardevoirConkeldurrGarchompMoewscaradaExcadrillI almost always open up with Conkeldurr since the combination of bulk, high attack and great coverage means it can get some value even in an unfavourable match-up. Use Mach Punch and Drain Punch with any other coverage you like.M-Starmie has Ice Spinner, Liquidation, Aqua Jet and Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is there to spook any water types coming in.Usually the third slot ends up being Garchop or Meowscerada, depending on the enemy's team. Excadrill hasn't been seeing much field time at all. I only really whip him out if there's a lot of fairies.I might swap Gardevoir for something else. She's had some mileage but I'll probably swap her out. Right now it feels like she's doing more work acting as a smoke screen during team selection (maybe I won't use Starmie???) than actually doing something productive.
>>59152939Everyone blew their wad when the character was announced, it seems. I'm just a lazy slopper.
never played comp beforetrick room is so much funlike nice tailwind idiot
Do I want Excadrill to be Adamant or Jolly? (With Sandrush ability)
>>59152982Adamant if you are using Sand Rush.
>>59152987Yea I am, thanks, I imagine EVs go to Attack and Speed, maybe 2 on HP, and give it focus sash?
Special mega bros, are we timid or modest?Been going modest tailwind, personally
I NEED assault vest.What jank are you guys running on Samurott-Hisui? Trying focus sash and max attack/speed currently
Do I HAVE to ev train my mons before sending them over from home, or can I just us my vp and train them up that way?
>>59152994Yes you have to. Get grinding
>>59152994If you want to save on VP you can EV them in the main games first.
It's ridiculous that Electro Shot wasn't nerfed
>>59152990a lot are going white herb just so you don't get cucked by intimidate
>>59152994You can save some VP if you EV train them in the main games first, however... keep in mind that it's faster getting the VP required to get your stats (160 VP per stat, so around 330 VP for the full 66 stat points). that's literally around one win in ranked.
>>59152993I run it as a sashed lead in singles. edge, razor shell, aqua jet, swords dance. just get in as much spikes as you can. only time I press swords dance is if someone's dumb enough to try and boost on me.
This game is like having sex with your sister.
>If you get the Rank Master title on a Pokémon transferred from Pokémon HOME by reaching Master Ranked in Ranked Battle in Pokémon Champions, it will not be able to be transferred back through Pokémon HOMENigga, do I really have to get my titles in SV
>>59153037That good???
Mega Victreebel honestly isn't as bad as I thought, plopping it's fat ass on the field and putting the fear of god into a Mega Charizards or Talonflame staring you down is funny as fuck and while it's coverage is kinda poor it's offenses are still good enough to dent neutral targets
Do I need a rage power/follow me chud
Fine I think I'll just boot up my old copy of Sword and prepare a bunch of the more common Pokemon instead of wasting VP to permanently hire from the ranch
>remember moody glalie exists>cheese a win streak from ub4 to ub23v3 is a dogshit meta
this game is seriously going to make me buy my first pokemon game in 16 years...
>>59152987>>59153008Thanks bros, my Excadrill that I caught 10 mins ago in BW2 is now kicking ass, this is kinda satisfying...
>>59153037the sister being tatora
>>59153045it has a ton of useful support moves toostrength sap, knock off, encore, clear smog, acid spray, reflect, toxic spikeseven if it's not the best at killing stuff you can make it a real pain in the ass if left alone, which helps put more pressure onto opponents to get rid of the thing and end up getting slimed by innards out>>59153048they tend to be helpful, yesi think the only good redirectors right now are sinistcha, maushold and maybe volcarona for sun teams
>>59153048I highly reccomend having one.
>>59152879Sand is pretty much all physical attackers, so you probably want an anti-Intimidate mon. Maybe Competitive Milotic over the other Water types you listed?
>>59153048>>59153067>i think the only good redirectors right now are sinistcha, maushold and maybe volcarona for sun teamsforgot about clefable and vivillon, though those are both kind of nichethey're not outright bad like ariados and scovillain are though, so any one of them is worth consideration depending on what your team needs and what they bring to the table
>>59153048If you’re psychic or ghost mega, yeahClefable resists kowtow btw :)
>>59152545She is very cute in a homely way.
>>59153045Hit that sleep powder my nigga
>>59152534>free to playbut its $6.99
>>59153086I got mine for free
>>59153045It surely cant be that bad right? if you get ohko'd does the ability do alot of damage?
If you get the membership do you get multiple boxes or is it still just one big column?
>>59153094It’s like an automatic mirror coat/counter on knock out. 1-1 damage returned. Starting to wonder if this is why they removed Basculegion having Final Gambit so it would have that niche
>>59153094if you knock out mega victreebel, innards out deals damage to the attacker equal to the amount of hp victreebel had left before it got hit and diedso if you nuke it with zard y, innards out nukes zard right back
>>59152668>one hitting Mega Ttar in sandH U M B L E D
>>59153100No individual boxes in Champions. You just get one really long column.
newbab here, which rotom is the one you want to recruit?
>>59153101mirror coat/counter is 1:2 aka double the damage receivedits like 10x better than innards outidk why they even gave him that when he has chlorophyll at base
the starter pass feels like it makes sense if you're trying to play for longer than the first week. There's alot of stuff I wanna try but 30 slots and the extremely slow integration with Home is testing my patience.
>>59153045It's risky to KO. People say that it's a wasted Mega, but it genuinely does put a different type of pressure that people aren't really used to.
>>59153111Water or Fire
>>59153111wash is typically the best one, though heat is good on sun teams
>>59153111wash is generally considered the only competitively good one because of its statline and moveset.
>>59153111anything but the fan onethe ranking is wash > heat > mow > fridge >>>>>>>> fan
>>59153114>the extremely slow integration with HomeWhat's the catch with the Home transfers?Limited transfers per day?
>>59153118*statline, type combo, and moveset
>>59153111Wash > Heat > MowDon't bother with the rest unless they finally decided to change Rotom Fan's redundant Ability to something useful.
Great Ball 3 is where I belong.
>>59153122The 30 pokemon limit for f2p is limiting, you can't go hog wild with Home and also roll gacha.There is no inherent limit to home otherwise, its just slow>first have to boot up home, and manually mark the pokemon in your boxes that you'd like to expose to Champions>then boot up Champions to run the import
>>59153122>Limited transfers per day?no, but it's kind of a lengthy processyou have to open home, put the guys you want to put in champions into home, send them to champions, open champions, go to recruit and select receive from homeit takes a few minutes to do even if you're only moving one pokemon, though it doesn't take much longer if you're moving a full box's worth so that's something
mega meganium is insane.>>59152668>>59152715"Mega Sol causes all moves used by the Pokémon to behave as if the weather were harsh sunlight. If a weather condition is in effect, Mega Sol overrides its effects for the Pokémon."
I can’t find my bro and I don’t have Home this sucks
>>59153139Is he even in champions yet
>>59153122If you don't have a Home subscription you are limited to only 30 transfers. Your Home mons only "visit" Champions so they still take up your Home box slots.
Copied a mega glimm team online, it's tyranitar/mega glim/milotic/dragonite/corvi/sinistcha. I don't got sinistcha and I don't like corvi, any good replacements for them? tyra/glim start feels good but gets raped by ground. idk other team starters, like dragonite tailwin + x other
>>59153142yesany pokemon with a regional form has both forms legal
>>59153148Wasn't aware that slowbro was even legal.
Raid shadow legends has more characters, better graphics and animations, can be played on any device and has been out for 10 years.RAID SHADOW LEGENDS IS BETTER.This shit is just embarrassing.
>>59153086You're looking at the page with the starter pack.
>>59153139Home is free though. You only get the tiny shitty box but it's enough if you don't use it for anything but transferring shit back and forth
>>59153133>>59153132Ah so it's just stupidly user unfriendlyI'm thinking of doing some basic breeding in SwSh to get some Pokemon with the right nature/ability/moves. Haven't done this shit since SM but at least I can ignore the IV and EV training parts this time
Will the .nsp ever be dumped? I would really like to try extracting the music.
>>59153155You might want to do the EVs before putting them in home if you have the ressources. Even if that's not the most VP-expensive part of a build.
New Hitler just dropped.
>>59153155moves and nature are the most cost effective things to get right before import. You could get the VP to fix your shit really quick honestly, its cool in that way that just battling more can be faster than breeding in another game.
i got a recruit with maushold and palafin, which one sees more use?
>>59152610Alright, since the other two anons didn't read the "singles" from your post, I'm gonna suggest a max attack/max speed attack set of something like Stealth Rock/Knock Off/Ice Punch/Coverage to weaken Excadrills checks a bit and break sashes. For the other picks I suggest something that can deal with Azumarill's Aqua Jet and Corviknight, like Rotom-W.
>>59153139>wahhh I can't figure out how to use free software so I'm forced to roll gachais this really how you live? is this how gacha games make money? I can't believe it
I don't use home and have fun using pokemons I'd never used before
>>59153173maushold follow me and pop bomb by far
>>59153173Maushold has a use as a redirector as long as we don't have Indeedee.

Everybody thinks they have an awesome team until an Imposter Ditto shows up and copies their first Pokemon.
>it only advances a Pokemon’s use count if you actually bring it into the battle Damn good fucking luck if your fav is a shitmon
>>59153139time to pay up piggy
How can you use Hydrapple? Just trick room? Feels like it wants trick room and to be in front to take advantage of regenerator but it can’t do anything to actually help TR go up
>>59152945Can you post a set for it? I don't even know what it does...
I want to abuse shell smash M blastoise. Modest or timid main using in singles
>>59153205I run it with TTar, Modest with full investment in HP, Special Atk, remaining points into special defenseSludge BombEarth PowerEnergy Ball or Power GemSpiky Shield
>>59153214Thanks boss
>>59153205mega glimmora's pretty simple desupower gem and sludge bomb for adaptability boosted stab, spiky shield to stuff attacks and last move is dealer's choiceyou could go rock polish to take advantage of switches or if you have a redirector, toxic/mortal spin to spread poison, acid spray to soften up targets, explosion if you're about to die anyway and want to squeeze a little more blood from the stone and have a sinistcha next to it or memento if you don'tcoverage moves are an option but they don't get the adaptability boost so they're not going to hit as hard
>>59152820>>59152843>>59152871>>59152881Anons.. I'm using 99% Home mons, the problem is just, that I never owned ZA and I want to play mega floette. Like wtf is this shit? I can't buy the fucking mega stone.

>>59153228You set marks in-gameSWSH, SV, and BDSP let you mess with ribbons/titles, but I dont know if BDSP actually has marks, while the other 2 do

Is Chesnaught worth recruiting for when I eventually get his mega stone?
>>59153226oh i'm just theorycraftingpic related>>59153228you can set titles on a pokemon's status screen (can be checked from the box screen)if a recruited mon doesn't already have a title on it, it doesn't have any titles
>>59153226Heres the Trick Room team I've gotten to Great Ball 2 withThe Items arent exactly correct, Scarf on Hydreigon and Sash on Rhyperior
>>59153242I guess you don't play glimm if you set up trick room? It's super fast
Is there an official private battle room?
>>59153233>what kind of life do you live? how the fuck does this happen?I sold my Switch 1, just when the Switch 2 leaks happend. And I sold all my fucking physical games with it, because I was able to play everything via Emulation anyway.>switch 2 releaseI couldn't transfer my data, because Pokemon doesn't support cloud. And I don't want to buy switch 1 games again... maby I will get them digital tho, because who cares if they take them away... I got them backed up anyway.
>>59153219Best you can do is trade for it nonny. Congrats on the wife though.
>>59153242Dr Perky, I love that mon + name my nigga
>>59153045Innards Out has a lot of potential and Victreebel can be annoying in the field. If the opponent doesn't chip you before KO then they're risking lose their attacker. If they ignore you then you could be using Sleep Powder, Strenght Sap or even attacking since it was powerful moves and a decent attack stat. I think we'll see some people building good Victreebel teams in the future, maybe as a meme.
>>59153243Pretty much
>>59152885I wonder if that's why Thai Ladyboys works so well. You can't hardly tell them apart.>>59152927Homie, you named 4 things weak to Stealth Rocks.

I recruited the female basculegion…
First Major Update:My Gym:>Spend VP to customize your own gym>Your gym can be altered with a variety of different options from special effects to skyboxes, furniture, and more>Each online battle will decide randomly if your match will be "home or away", selecting either your gym to battle at or your opponentsMaster Mode:>Register your gym and trainer in Master Mode>In Master Mode, your custom character will represent your gym as it's gym leader. You will assign him a team of 6 Pokemon for other trainers to fight, as well as create 4 other trainers for players to battle on their way to you. >You can challenge other players' gyms randomly, or browse them based on difficulty or what's being featured. >Master Mode is entirely single player, with a gyms leader and it's trainers being represented by advanced NPCs using your determined team.>Defeating other players gyms and having your gym go undefeated will earn you badges and defense tokens, which unlock the ability to purchase exclusive gym and player cosmetics in new VP shops.Legend Mode:>A rotating single player roguelike/draft mode>Select 4 pokemon from a randomized pool, and battle your way through every gym leader and Elite Four member from a seasonally determined region. >Between battles you will recruit new Pokemon, collect items, heal up, evolve, and make your way to an encounter with a legendary pokemon.>Completing this mode will allow you to recruit the seasonal legendary pokemon, or permanently recruit your entire winning team of Pokemon. This can be done once each per season on top of unlocking special cosmetics for progressing through the mode. The update will also double the current pool of usable pokemon (which will also be slowly increased up until this point), items, among other things. I don't have specifics in this regard. End of summer/early fall.
>>59152994Iirc evs don't even transfer.Only nature, ability, moves, and form.
>>59153269>>59153282I'll do you one better than stealth rocks:
My first recruit was Gardevoir
>>59153238>recruitingishygddt
>play rough tinkaton into megamega, looking to take it down to half before tink gets evaporated>chipped off like 20%I think my game is broken. Meganium isn't THAT bulky and Tinkaton isn't THAT weak. I had to check Serebii thinking it must have lopsided 135 def or something crazy but it's 110 with with 80 HP
WHEN IS THE MOBILE RELEASE
>>59153128What if they just gave it roost instead?
>>59152994>>59152999No, don't listen to anyone.
>>59153295Apparently in June.

>>59153294>Tinkaton isn't THAT weak
>>59153297It's not complicated, either you value 300 PVs more than the time/ressources it takes in the game you're sending from or you don't.
>>59153281>No the fuck it's not.yes it is>Normal EVs was 63+63+1what are you talking aboutnormal evs was 252+252+4if you're referring to how much the stats are increased in terms of visible points, it's the sameusing appletun as an example because i have his page on serebii open>HP range at Level 50 (SV; 0-252 EVs, 0-31 IVs): 170 - 217>HP range in Champions (0-32 points; IVs treated as 31): 185 - 217it's 1:1 the same>inb4 170 =/= 185appletun's min HP at 31 IVs is 185>>59153287>evs don't even transferthey do
>>59153304play a different comp gwo?
>>59153316I think Champions allows for like a 1 additional point increase for whatever reason.
>>59153277Good luck! <3
>>59153294>Neutral Play Rough>From Tinkaton>On something with 110 defYeah no shit that does no damage.
>>59153331it does, though stat caps are exactly the same as they are for mons in the usual ev systemit's just that now you can essentially do a 252/252/4/4 spread on something instead of just 252/252/4, so you get exactly one extra stat pointotherwise it is exactly the same as it used to be and anyone who says it's not is lying or wrong
>>59153283Give her icy wind
>>59153290Mine was by accident. I though you got to pick multiple from the list and build a team, not one from the list and they fill the rest of your team in.>>59153289>Lando T>Champions>>59153282Name a spinner or defogger that's actually a threat. I'm not scared of your fuckass foretress.
>>59153294Tinkaton is actually a highskill pokemon. You can't just click random buttons and expect to do well. You actually need to know what you're doing with her to get anywhere.
>>59152596Pokeball Tier was bots.Great Ball was little Timmys.Ultra Ball is where people who actually know how to play are.
Just countered a bug where Electro Shot still took a turn to charge while in the rain, 3 times in a row.
>>59153343You can choose to do 252/252/12 as well, but cant do 252/252/4/4/4.Its slightly different, but the same. I'm having fun, but getting remembered why I'm such a bad trainer. Not even in masterball yet.
>>59153358were you against drampa or something else with cloud ninethe ability applies but the rain effects stay on the screen for whatever reason
>>59152889Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, Protect. Moonblast already is a delete button without it also deleting yourself.
>>59153361Oh I guess that's the case then, I figured Cloud Nine just removed weather so it was safe to switch in Plapper after
>>59153355>first match of great ball>guy led ninetales froslass>remove snow with prankster>ko both after he misses one of my guys with blizzard>ninetales was zoroark>ninetales comes in and it’s not snow warning>he forfeitsOdd match. I guess I see the vision but lol
>>59153359>You can choose to do 252/252/12 as well, but cant do 252/252/4/4/4.the fuck are you talking about? You only get another 4 points. You can only do 252/252/8
>>59153368>ninetales froslasswhy though. That's like running Hippowdon and Tyranitar at the same time.
>won against mega aggron nicknamed THE WALL>escaped doubles poke ball tier
>>59153281Because the first four EVs give +1, a five stat spread build would give +66 stats. Champions just normalized it so even three stat spread builds give +66.>Old252/252/4+32/+32/+1 = +65244/252/4/4/4+31/+32/+1/+1/+1 = +66>New32/32/2 = +6631/32/1/1/1 = +66It's a welcome change to EV jank.

>>59153361>>59153366Cloud Nine doesn't actually dispel weather. It just turns the effect off (IE rain stops lowering the power of fire type moves and boosting water ones, sand stops doing chip, abilities don't trigger, etc) while the weather itself still goes. So for example if the thing with Cloud Nine switches out and there'd still be two turns of rain left, rain will resume having effects until that time, but if rain runs out while the cloud nine mon is out it'll need to be reapplied.
I fucking hate how tanky the bridge is with how much damage it does. What the fuck.
>import a samurott>slash isn't allowed on itWhy? Is it really that good?
>>59153385>Splatoon players
>>59153373For one additional stat point at level 50, after the first 4 EVs, you need 8 EV per stat. 252/252/8 would not give you one extra.>>59153381Basically this, you now do not need to forego the last 8 points (+31 to +32) so you get +66 stats.
>>59153378That video lives in fucking infamy. I had a friend who watched it and was inspired to go for mega aggron stall in a draft league. He promptly went like 2-6
>>59153397The bridge move increases the sp.atk and shoots an electric hyperbeam, it doesn't even need to charge, if rain is up
>>59153377>he doesn't weather warYou keep your second weather setter in the back for when they switch in their weather setter to overwrite your first weather setter. Don't you remember the days of running Rain Dance on Politoed? In a small meta with few options sets get really weird.

>already seeing cancerous shit like baracat and Archeludon in Pokeball tier>meanwhile I have to use stuff like Arcanine as replacementsThankfully it just seems like they copypasted those teams and don't really know how to use them. Or they just thought those were automatic wincons.Either way, already dealing with tryhards at the lowest rank.
>>59153401>For one additional stat point at level 50, after the first 4 EVs, you need 8 EV per stat. 252/252/8 would not give you one extra.But not at level 100.
>>59153406I don't know. I always try to reset the weather with my sun and hit it with ground, I don't really have a strat, but I'm playing a sun team

>>59153466Why? Dire Claw got nerfed into oblivion.
Conflicting feelings about this. Pretty terrible release with all the shit missing and some other issues or garbage decisions, but it's a bit enjoyable and you're still better off hoarding a bunch of stuff. Most of these will be patched and updated.Unfortunately the game is still going to look ugly as shit and probably still have terrible performance. And a lot of the new Mega abilities are just horrible.

Do you get a title for your Pokemon or something if you hit master ball. Did anyone here hit master ball yet?

>>59153545The one good indian place doesn’t even open for like 2 hours because they’re retarded but maybe
>>59153555i hit master super easily using mega floette it wasnt really that hard. i think anyone who's played a bit of vgc or showdown will hit master ball by the end of the weekend.
>>59153555you get a title for your trainer profiledoesnt look particularly exclusive tho so you could probably hit master whenever you want and get the same reward

>>59153555You have no idea how much I’m seething about the master rank ribbon not actually applying to your pokemon outside of champions
>>59153555Master is fairly trivial to hit. It's kind of like modern fighting game master ranks where you get it just for understanding the fundamentals, maybe even a bit easier in this game. The only reason you wouldn't hit master is a: you don't understand basic battling and b: you use a dogshit team. VGC is very unbalanced.

>>59153598hehe wolfe con perish xddd
I've been having a lot of fun with Bellibolt and Sylveon, what are some good teammates for them in doubles? I've been rotating between Decidueye, Corviknight and Mega Glalie (he sucks but he's cool).
wait, do the old ribbons give new titles to Pokemon?
>>59153556It was my only special wall, I naively assumed a Water/Steel special wall would counter a Rock/Poison special attacker.

>>59153612I just setup with CM and killed shit with Floette lmao. I think it's a bit worse now that the masses caught on Sneasler is still the best Pokemon, and Charizard + Venu is the best combo package.

any rental teams?
>>59153591Nah, that’s a different one. I forget the name but I know the one you’re thinking of. Bang has been around for a long time and was the workout drink of choice since they had creatine in it for a bit, don’t know now though. They got sued and bankrupted because they made a funny ad that said it would cure your alzheimers with super creatine, then were bought out by the company who runs Reign, I think.
>>59153598The way I found was coaching sneasler phantom force dragapult.
>>59153649I'm not wasting over 100 bucks on trash entries and going through the entire game + transferring for ONE(1) Pokemon.
please tell me they removed venusaur's access to sleep powder in a game with zard y as a top 3 mega and safety goggles removed from the game..

>>59153852No you don’t understand rock paper scissors is shallow but rock paper scissors lizard Spock hooooooly shit unparalleled depth
bros, I love this game sm...
>>59153857Your girl is a massive slut.
Trying to use my favorites but they suck so much
Hmmmm today I shall send out a moody glalie against a 10 year old in 3v3s and click protect and substitute until he runs out of time
>>59153728ggs anon
gimme a sandstorm team chuds
>>59153873does glalie get sheer cold? :)
How are they gonna kick everyone for maintenance when the game just came out?
>>59153879Hippowdon+Excadrill
>>59153830Poison types got buffed in Gen 6 to never miss Toxic, even during a Fly/Dig/Dive/Phantom turn.Pretty much nobody knows about this.
>>59153883yeah :)
>>59153892no ttar...? yeah I'm out.
>>59153877GGthanks for hanging!
>>59153872Yeah... they brought back Recycle but didn't give it to my boy Dedenne like before.At least Machamp/Gyara/Arcanine/Snorlax are playable
A TWO HOUR maintenance window?I am a Pokemon Champions enjoyer but this is ridiculous, what could they possibly be doing? Are they driving a hard drive with the game data to a different data warehouse?
I was about to lose a ranked match saved by the bell.
>>59153890The game was made with duct tape, they're applying some more
Aside from farfi and drampa who should I be putting in trick room? Sinischa?
>>59153908>maintenance alreadyIt's like I'm really playing bomber girl.
How do I change genders
>not even two days into its life>maintenance
>>59153918Shotgun
>>59153918You can't. You have to delete your save file and start again.
>>59153913Something to deal with Floette since Drampa gets raped by it.
>>59153908eh considering this game actually seems to have dedicated matchmaking servers (hence why you can actually reconnect unlike past pokemon games where disconnecting from a battle for even a moment would auto-lose you) it lines up.
>>59153920That I can understand, fixing game bugs and stuff.No in-game pre-warning, a two-hour window, and no offline features is ridiculous though.
>Incinememe / The Cooler Skarmory / Sexo Gato / Arizona's Immortal MidgetI dont care if its shit, I'm running this.
Do I not know how destiny bond works? I set it, opponent attacks, I attack, opponent kills, he dies? I think I just saw some incredibly scuffed shit.
>>59153879Tsareena for anti-priority with sand rush mons. Idk I'm fruit shilling.
>>59153868I want to sex pokesluts.
I play as the pokeslut
>>59153926Is this typical for online games with dedicated services? I do some DevOps work for small companies and two hours of downtime would require a postmortem report, so I'm just surprised. I don't know what could take that long that you couldn't prepare in advance unless something is seriously, seriously wrong. Maybe it won't actually take that long, I was also surprised there was no warning like other Nintendo games though.
>can freely change everything about your character at any time>except skin colorWhy?
3v3 is such a dogshit format its so fun
>>59153945This is transracial erasure
>>59153945Tanning beds don't exist in Pokemon.
>>59153945I had to pick between the whitest girl or tanned slut
>>59153944>Is this typical for online games with dedicated services?Yes, at least a lot of them.
>>5915390860 fps for Switch 2 trust the plan
>get home from work>maintenance>mfw
>>59153945>setup home again recently>asks me if I want to set my language to english>say yes>asks me three more times going YOU CANNOT EVER EVER CHANGE THIS AGAIN EVER ARE YOU SUREmust just be some retarded japanese thing I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be able to change stuff like this
They're patching in Landorus I can feel it. A great and horrible darkness
which bugs are gonna get fixed during maintenance
Wait, when is maintenance? I just turned my game off to focus on another game for now
Next update should add apartments where we can visit each other and take pictures
>>59153970Female Gallade
>>59153959Wow game devs are trash
>>59153945It's the same thing in the main games for some reason. At least there it has "muh immersion" as an excuse, but this is just a battle sim. Hell, they let you change your name don't they?
>>59153931>I set it, opponent attacks, I attackif you attack again your destiny bond has worn off at that point
>>59153972you just wanna eRP with the pokesluts in this thread
>>59153935I want to use Tsareena, but not having Wide Lens or even Zoom Lens really sucks
>>59153964It was a test. You failed, gaijin
Gonna go out for a few hours but I wanna play doubles with you guys after so I can figure how to make my team not basic af
>>59153970Hopefully the connection bug that forces me to play using my phone's hotspot. Turning off IPv6 did nothing.
>>591539711h30m left.
Is glaceon the best partner for mfroslass?
>>59153970Wrong move description for Leech seed, wrong gender for some tutorial pokemon, and hopefully the random order for simultaneous mega evolutions.
>>59153996Mamoswine is. If you really wanna be a dick fake tears Whimsicott lel
>>59153926>we got dedicated servers in Pokémon before Splatoon>>59153944Yeah that's normal. Home has it happen every couple of months. Steam goes offline for a bit every Tuesday. I assume the time is for them to test everything went through alright more than just inputting the update.
>>59153970https://x.com/Pokemon_Champs/status/2042319804430717245[Bug Notice]We are currently investigating the following issue(s):Incorrect Mega Evolution order>mega evolution order has been completely random since the pax demo a few weeks agoIncorrect Leech Seed description>in-game description says it drains 1/16th HP instead of 1/8thEncore state issue>encore has some weird fucked up interactions with lightning rod or something (i forget exactly what's up with this)We appreciate your understanding and patience, and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
>spend the past five hours catching and prepping pokémon to transfer through home>maintenance oh fuck off
>>59153991oh so maintenance is going on right now? Neat, I am busy anyway
>2 hour maintenance Holy Kek this game is a mess
This maintenance is why I hate the 22 hour countdown for free rolls. Why not just once per day?
Samurott should get shell smash.
If I’m running whimsicott tailwind do I still need speed investments?
holy fuark maintenance in my live service game??? FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>So many people bitching about a two hour maintDo you guys play any other online game ever? Or even use online services? Steam's the biggest single game service on the planet and it does this shit every Tuesday
So the city of Frontier is supposed to be based off of Las Vegas, right?>literally have the Las Vegas Sphere as the Luxury Ball arena we see in the opening cutscene>the ranch not too far from the competitions has American west scenery, complete with a folksy rendition of the Route 2 music from Unova>the roads in Frontier are clearly that of American roads>there's just a fuckton of form fitting hotels around the Luxury Ball area>"Frontier" as in the American Frontier, which was the basically what the Old West referred to itself as when it wasn't old
This game was released waaaay to damn early lmao
>>59154053>Do you guys play any other online game ever?of course notthis board is full of people who shit their pants and cry every time game freak does anythingpeople who've played any pokemon game released in the last 10 years online are outnumbered by people who don't 5 to 1
>>59154053What online game immediately goes into a two hour maintenance less than 48 hours of release?
>>59154053>brand new game that everyone is playing>needs several hour maintenance on day 2it's not a good look
>>59154031>Online service game>"Oh my god two hours maintenance how could this fucking happen"
>>59154056no it wasn't
>>59154044Yes because of other Whimsicott tailwind
>>59154064normal, expected even, often it's on day 1
I'm going to play Infinity Nikki until we're back
>>59154060so many gacha
I wonder if this will be one of those games that hands out gifts every time it needs maintenance.
please buy the battle pass and subscription to help pokemon champions to become a better game
>>59154070I'm going back to nikke.
>>59154060If they launch with bugs they usually do, yeah. Gacha games in particular get emergency maintenances all the time, iirc Arknights Endfield had to get one because it fucked up it's payment processing and that released earlier this year from a well-estbalished multi-million dev.
>>59154077I bought the battle pass but I have no reason for the subscription
>>59154077already ahead of you there, got the starter pack too of course
>>59154077based. damefreak and ilca are just small indie devs. they need all the support they can get
>>59154077the starter pack is the only worthwhile thing. the battle pass is okay. the subscription is a legit ripoff.
>>59154077I might unironically get the starter pack for the box space
>>59154064>has literally never played any live service multiplayer game in their life
Is it possible to hack a shitload of AZ floette (or at least duplicate mine) to send to HOME and fuck over these GTS shitters?
How noticeable is the size difference between Pokemon in this game?
>>59154077I might get the starter pack but nothing else seems worth it.
>>59154102Yes but dupes will get detected supposedly.
>>59154105very
>>59153978My attention might have lapsed. This might've been it. If I'm outspeeding turn 1, whiff destiny bond by surviving, then turn 2 my tailwind ran out and I moved last, does me dying on turn 2 activate destiny bond?
>>59154124Yes, Destiny Bond lasts until you move again
if you are not masterball in doubles you shouldn't be allowed to post
>>59154136this but only if you got masterball in a previous game not this one
>>59154135Sick, then lucky me
Am I retarded if I want to do Moody Scovillian with rage powder, spicy extract, sunny day as my redirecter next to my mega?
I'm in great ball
>>59154136I’m 9-2 and still in great ball please forgive this wagie
>>59154136Working on it, but I'm going pure f2p so my team building sucks so far and I mostly play NU. Any decent mons for Tsareena? I was thinking about Water Spout Choice Scarf Pelipper as like a diet Kyogre.
>>59154136>>59154143I think you can do something like that on reddit.
>>59154151i would say so, yeswhat's the last move slot going to
>>59154164energy ball probably
>>59154162>Water Spout Choice Scarf Pelipperpelipper doesn't get water spouttrop kick got buffed up to 85 base power though so you actually have a reason to consider running it now>>59154171you probably aren't going to have as much special attack investment if you're trying to be a redirector and there isn't a lot that's weak to energy ball so i would suggest overheat insteadeven without much investment that'll do more than 0 damage if the sun's up at least, even if it'll only do so like once if you don't get lucky with the moody boosts
1 hour left
>>59154178>i would suggest overheat insteadJust realized spicy only works with attack/def not special so I won't be running it with sub Mega Delphox
>>59154178>No Water SpoutFuck Idk what move I was thinking of then. May have been Hydro Pump?Trop Kick buff is based but i have no idea if it's gonna be replacing power whip or bullet seed at least when dice gets into the game. Still aint gonna stop me from putting her on all my teams though.
>>59154212weather ball?
Who counters mfloette? Sneasler?
New thread doko?
>>59154226>tattoo Whore. Ruined design.
>>59154224Any fire type
>>59154102I've been farming Floettes and Bloodmoon Ursalunas by putting shinies up for trade.
>>59154228>Whore.I would pay for that
>>59154136this but singles
Can someone with Pokemon ZA unironically do this with the trade bot on twitch? And put it in home and trade it with me?>!tradePLZA Floette-Eternal, Language: English, EV_SPA: 252, EV_SPE: 252, EV_HP: 4, OT: fourchan
>>59154156Thats how ur mom calls me
>>59154253>Mega FloetteMeta Slave
>>59154253Oh boy the begging has already started. Didn't think I'd see this until the mobile release.
I would only help anons if they post their cute trainers first
>>59154240She only fucks burly male pokemon and you damn well know it
I can imagine the complaints about the gacha ramping up when legendaries and mythicals get added to the pool and they're like 0.001% odds
>>59154253>OT: fourchanThe OT can only be AZ
>>59154277I have Pokemons, I'm willing to watch
>>59154279oh nooooo my pkhex is booting on its own...
>>59154279100% this will happen restricted meta legendaries will also cost more VP to perma recruit
>>59154268>>59154269I just bought a switch from a friend and I don't have PLZA. It's so stupid, I thought this is moar of a battle sim.
>>59154287So you're saying I shpuld be hoarding my teammate tickets?
>>59154285This is why they should hard-focus all their gachashit into in-game sexy animations and alt costumes (for the pokemon)
>>59154279By the time they finally get to restricted formats there will be so many automated Home bots running around that it won't matter
>>59154279The first big availability obstacle is probably going to be wind/waves since pokegenning will be dead in the water unless switch 2 shipped with another enormous security flaw
>>59154283Okay, it won't generate anything illegal anyway. But good to know. I just thought it would look weird if the OT is Mitsuki.
How many apologems are they giving out for this maintenance
>>59154300None
>>59154300Guess we'll have to see if Champions is the type of game to give out apology gifts at every little inconvenience like most gacha games.
>>59154288it is. shrimply play another comp.
5 free erp tickets for maint
>>59154311>it is.No.>shrimply play another comp.alright
>>59154327it is a battle sim
>>59154288You are willing to spend money on a Switch but don't want to buy ZA? You could use the tradebots all you want if you did.
wew lad they got a lot of shit to clean up
ITS UP
I can't wait to play singles again
>>59154338i checked
RAPID SPIN HAS BASE 80 POWER WTF?
>>59154341
>>59154340this but ironically
>>59154328>it is a battle simTrue.>>59154334You are right, but I think I won't enjoy ZA, I'm playing through Gen 8 and Gen 9. I feel like forcing me through ZA just for some Pokimane isn't worth it.
Thread?
>>59153717finally done and champions still isn't back up wtf
what showdown elo is equivalent to champions masterball?
>>591544181300
>>59154417>>59154417>>59154417Now git
