Kitt fucked black people nonstop until she had a mixed-race child and now she's looking for an unassuming white man to step up and be a father-ish sort of figure to her offspring.
>Mega Aggron Body Press team got me to Ultra 2>Seems like at this rank every team is just running strong special attackers/defenders>Rest of the team is doing well but my physical nuke Aggron is doing nothingIs it time to build a new team? I liked Aggron a lot...
shit game lol
>>59174966post team, if you want to keep Aggron around you should at least have a backup mega to handle bad matchups
>>59174963She fucks Kanto Tauros exclusively actually
I saw i missed a gardevoir that was given as a reward for a warm up thing and i felt bad for 3 second before i realized, how would that gardevoir be any different from any other gardevoir in this game? Wouldn’t it make more sense to give players a special hat or shirt as a reward? All a pokemon does is take space in the box it can’t go anywhere
i want to build a team with talonflame and M kanga, what would be the best approach? i know m kanga aint that good without power up punch and return but i like her because of the XY manga
So I just run Hippowdon and two sweepers to reach Masterball rank?
>>59174990The other giveaway pokemon have been in cherish balls
>>59174990Events should give out Mythicals/Legendaries with unique moves or make them shiny so its actually worth it to do these events.
>>59174940Link please
>>59174977Nta, but I have mega meganium covering my mega aggron in my team.The only common weakness between them is fire, but I have a t-tar and aerodactyl for sun teams. Goin pretty well so far in ultra 2
>>59174966You don’t have to give him up if you don’t want to but you should have answers
>>59175001also it's for doubles i fucking hate singles
>>59174990This stuff is for F2P players, especially in a "warm up" tournament lolIt's like the alpha starter gifts in home, this stuff isn't for you if you're posting on the 4chan pokemon image board
>>59175008https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2748688457?t=1h28m3sThe parting into gambit was in one of the final matches, I only watched like 2, then they almost lost against mono-ice with an Aegislash
>>59175009Other Aggranon here. I didn't like running Ttar because I was struggling against rain teams too and I didn't want the water weakness. So I have Mega Ampharos with Altaria for support against sun and rain. I like running niche mons though.
>>59174963You need to go back >>>/dbs/
>>59174966Did you invest on special bulk on Aggron? With some investment and sand up it can actually take a hit or two
It's genuinely insane to me that a casino slot machine ass move like Rock slide is as integral to doubles as it is. No idea how you guys can stand having your strategy boil down to praying for no flinches every other match
So glad I brought my shiny milotic from GOEasily the best member of my team, what a hero
>>59175039Only rock types get the sandstorm defense boost. Filter still makes it good
>>59175039No I didn't invest in SpD, that's a good idea, don't know why I didn't think of that.>Rock-type Pokémon receive a 1.5x Special Defense boost in sandWtf I thought I looked up all the effects of sand.
>>59175047He meant careful nature and spc def EVs80 base stat isn't horribly impressive but when maxed out it keeps you from getting OHKO from most anything that hasn't had a nasty plot
New stuff in the shop when? I need better hair
>>59175043Every time I gamble I win
>>59175043Rock slide is frequently not that meta but unfortunately Charizard Y is omnipresent
>>59175043Rock Slide hasn't even been that common in the last few years, it's all Charizard's fault. No Covert Cloak doesn't help either.
>>59175026Rain teams are why I put the meganium in there.Usually i have my farig use trick room too which rain teams hate.
>>59175055It's sad we don't have the two-tones option from ZA, I know many people find it tacky or too "anime" but it's a cheap and easy way to make characters look more distinct.
>>59175055We need fluffy hair for boys I cannot stand this zoomer undercut shit
>>59175064How do you deal with Zardtards then?
I want to be Kieran
>>59175100I love seeing the zoomer hair, it means you are about to fight a retard.
Is Pop Bomb worth running on Maushold over Super Fang specifically?
>>59175109Anon the game matches you with people of similar skill
>>59175110Won't you die to garchomp with pop bomb?
>>59175110i dont think its worth it without loaded die
>>59175110Run it with a Sableye with prankster gravity and put a kings rock on it. Sableye also gives it helping hand and quash to make sure you flinch even the most unburdened of Sneaslers if you don't outright kill it (you will).If you're not willing to commit to the meme mice then just use normal shit.
>>59175110>rough skin garchomp everywhere>no wide lens>better with friend guard than technician Not really unless you loooove gambling
I thought Pawmot would be usuable for some reason and wasted some time trying to bring mine over hometurns out the reason I thought that it's the fucking battle menu thumbnail has pawmot, fuck you ilca
>>59175145A lot of other pokemon that were in the trailers didn’t make it over either. Dondozo and tatsugiri were gonna be on my team
>>59175140Also stamina Arch
>>59175151I'm glad they're gone, fuck you.
>>59175054>SpD nature + maxed outYeah I don't know if I'll go that far for Aggron. I'll see how it feels.
>>59175007Why bother making them shiny when mons that come from champions are stuck there?
>>59175104NVM you already said that
>>59175167special defense is really valuable on steels, a lot of the gay shit they resist tends to be special and not capitalizing on that really hurts their ability to switch in and tank hits
>>59175175Yeah but every point into defense for Aggron is also a point into offense. I'll try it though.
>>59175167Here's my build for THE WALL:Ability: Sturdy Level: 50 Shiny: Yes EVs: 180 HP / 4 Atk / 76 Def / 252 SpD Impish Nature - Body Press - Heavy Slam - Iron Defense - Protect
>>59175169The mons being stuck gives them leeway to give out usually shiny locked pokemon. Plus having the regular version be the participation reward can help with things like za exclusive megas.Basically something like "faggot cup" that gives you an eternal floette and mega stone and finishing in a high tier gets you a shiny one kind of deal.
Whats a good team for singles?getting my ass kicked in Master rank, cant escape 1600-1700
>>59174945Giving your Pokemon funny nicknames to distract your opponent is optimal
>>59175145I was so ready to run my boy>>59175178MAggron has 230 base defense.If a physical attacker gets through that you've fucked up tremendously. Boosting it for body press alone is putting all your eggs in one basket. It's a good sweeper if you get iron defense to go off but there's a lot of strong Earth Power, Overheat, Scald users and so on.With enough spc def you can keep him from getting OHKO without significant setup and maybe put him into the 3 hit zone even against strong spec attackers with super effectives.
Bullying my wife before the start of each battle
>>59175205>Name Starmie IM GONNA BUS >mega evolve self destruct
>deranked to great 2I'm not cut out for this.
>>59175212Me too but with sex
>>59175205people who don't nickname their mons are soulless
>>59175205I didn't know you could nickname mons in this until a couple days ago.
>>59175205I want to name my Aggron 794 POUNDS, but I don't want to give my opponent information on Heavy Slam ranges
>>59175043You think they’ll ever rework their rng given all of the casual players running around? They nerfed Paralysis, Freeze, and Sleep.
Is it normal as a non-compfag to find doubles much easier than singles? Only lost once in doubles before reaching Ultra Ball, but Singles was about 60/40.Admittedly, I am using more underrated picks for my singles team.
>>59175235RNG is part of the game. There’s a reason competitive pokemon is called “chess mixed with poker”. Probability management is a skill. It’s why the comp format is a ladder and tournaments place with best of 3 matches, to mitigate the ability of one incidence of crazy luck to swing performance too egregiously and try to capture the broad level of player skill at managing unlucky draws and capitalizing on lucky ones
>>59175223What are the odds that they know the weights of their team? Pretty slim, I say. Put 794 POUNDS in, coach!
>>59175255Singles is way more aggressive which makes it way less kind to suboptimal mons. Doubles gives you way more room to get wins from good reads even with worse mons. So, maybe? If you’re really good at identifying when your opponent is gonna double-up and hit the right protects, or calling when a mon doesn’t need to protect and gets a free switch/set up, you can get a lot of mileage out of that skill
Is Krook a good Temu Incineroar or do the Arcanines mog it to hell?
>>59175296He isn't really bulky enough to do incins job. But the arcanines don't even do incins job anyway.
>>59175001Coaching White Herb Sneasler with Scrappy Kang. Neither can be Intimidated turn 1, and you can Coaching to give Kang +1 atk +1 def before anyone else moves.
>>59175296Krook doesn't really have the support movepool. It would be more comparable to Gyarados. The dogs are more similar to Incin. Scrafty would have been solid too if it was available.
>earthquake can cause flinching
>>59175156You probably use stuff that’s way worse
>>59175304Aerodactyl shuts this down. He's popular but not crazy common though
Is it dumb to run Aurora Veil Ninetails and Charizard Y on the same team?
>>59175310King's Rock?
This is the team I used to reach master ball tier>Mega GardevoirHas Focus Blast and Thunderbolt to deal with Corv and Arch>Ddance DniteOutrage, Espeed and EQ.>Belly Drum AzuEV'd to out speed uninvested Corvs>Bulk Up TalonflameFull defective investment Will-o-Wisp to help against certain threats.>Swords Dance MimikyuDrain Punch as a coverage option but otherwise standard set>Mega LopunnyRunning High Jump Kick because I'm not a coward.Judge me.
>>59175205Wait, can you nickname pokemon you get from Champions? All my transfered pokes are named but I assume I was SOL for any I recruited.
>>59175308I have so much faith in Scrafty as alternative Incin, but I’m worried that going from fairy neutral to a quad weakness makes him unusable even with the superior bulk and access to knock off
>>59175322Go into the summary and click X there should be an option that says "change battle name." Be responsible out there ;)
>>59175322Not only can you, but Champions nicknaming rules let you rename any mon you want, regardless of language or OT, as many times as you like. You can also enable and disable valid titles from ribbons IIRC
>>59175322>Box>Check Summary>Additional Options>Change Battle name
>>59175122>>59175110From what I recall, Pop Bomb runs off a different formula than 5 hit moves, so you need Wide Lens insetad
Is Gravity worth it? Is it any common in VGC?
>>59175328Would have been nice to have him now since Fairy types aren't too rampant. Only see Floette, Whimsicott and the rare Primarina.
>>59175302I miss Arcanine being THE Intimidate Fire mon.Is there any reason to use best dog with baracat in the format?
>dragapult still has the shitty gen 9 dragon darts animationDid they at least fix Toucannon?
>>59175343Literally none. Everything Arcanine can do, Incelroar does better.
>>59175296>King's Rock Krookodile>Intimidate>+Spe,-SpAtk Nature>Helping Hand, Gunk Shot, Snarl, Earthquake>Max Speed, other EVs pendingHonestly I'm shocked he doesn't get at least Sucker Punch.
>>59175339If you’re running Gravity, it’s something heinous and evil. Like when Darkrai was legal so you’d run CSR or Sableye Gravity and DarkvoidIndeedee gets Gravity, sets up Psychic Terrain, and would ground Mega Delphox, just saying. ;)
>>59175355Scarf Rockslide much?
>>59175310>another retard who doesn't play the game kneejerk reacting to item effects
>>59175212It'd be cool if there was more than 5 pictures of her on the planet.Also if she was actually hot
Where's staraptor? i wanted to make a triple intimidate team with incineroar and paldean tauros
>One game get 3 burns with Heat Wave Armarouge, the very next game get double freeze with Choice Scarf Blizzard Alonan Ninetails causing an instant rage quitArceus loves me.
>>59175356Could also go for Knock Off over Snarl and Stomping Tantrum over EQ since you have the miss chance on Gunk Shot. (Does Stomping Tantrum activate for immunity fails? Like using Poison moves on Steel?)
>>59175366Mega isn’t in yet, right? Hoping that means he has a good/more complicated ability than what has been released.
>>59175373It does, pretty sure
Krookodile is only good for gimmicks relatively speaking.You can pull some funny shit with power trip and anger point though, just not reliable funny shit
>>59175339I've been experimenting with it using my mono-Ground team on Showdown. I've had limited success though, since Golurk is the only Ground-type user with access to the move in Champions and Golurk prefers to hit things most of the time.
>>59174966As a mega steelix user, I can tell you Ultra 1/2 are the harshest environments for him and Aggron. Everyone's tryharding to reach masterball and it's nothing but constant rain, sun and sneaslers. Once you reach masterball people chill out and start having fun again.
>>59175321How valid is double mega-stones?
>>59175050aggron can afford to put a ton of investment into spdef because mega aggron's base defense is so ludicrously high that even one iron defense makes it unbreakable on the physical side with 0 investmentthe special defense boost for rock types is nice but mega aggron drops its rock typing so you're not going to benefit from that unless you delay your own mega evolution for some reason; you're better off running something else to sponge special attacks like a bulky redirector/screen setter/etc.t. mega aggron enjoyer (running it on a trick room team with bulky ariados)third time trying to fucking post this let's see if it actually works
>>59175393I’m finding most teams have 2 that balance each other out for their bad match ups
>>59175393in gimmick teams not much since they are mostly built around one mon. It's ok if youre just running goodstuff team tho
>>59175339Gravity isn't really worth it outside of Hypnosis gimmicks. The difference between Thunderbolt and Thunder, for example, usually doesn't turn a 2HKO into a OHKO, but even if it does, you're basically just making a Trick Room team without the speed control. You have to finish the game before your Gravity runs out otherwise your Pokemon become substantially weaker as their moves can now miss.
>>59175391Sun is Fun. Being able to use Charizard in a meta team is deeply satisfying.
>>59175393Last time I played VGC was 2014 and double megas was pretty common.
>>59175314no, just be sure to keep the anti-synergy in mind and don't try to get your aurora veil up on the same turn you plan on mega evolving or else you'll get clipped and made fun of on twitter
>>59175391Steelix is my favorite Wide Guard user.
>>59175407You are the reason I have an aerodactyl in my back pocket. Delicious 4x rockslides and more are coming your way!
What’s the deal with Champion tier? Is it a matter of ELO to enter it? Is there anything special unlocked for reaching it? Cutscene with Caraway?
>>59174945Guys I’m stuck at rank 4. I like using cute Pokemon like slurpuff and snorlax. Need team ideas for singles
>>59175393The item choices are kind of dogshit right now so even if you did run a Pokemon without mega evolving it it's not the end of the world
>>59175420Top 300 players worldwide. I think you get a special title and same for Pokemon you win with in it.>>59175422Rank 4 what?
>>59175420You do get a cutscene for it, and a Champion title.
>>59175420300 players with the highest elo in master ball get itNo rewards, just one title
>>59175422Show us your box, gayboy
>>59175423I was running normal cm leftovers Floette for a bit.Kinda fine, maybe Primarina would have been better.
>>59175419I do think charizard usage will start to come down as more people experience the brutality of x4 rockslide.
>>59175321Waifufag?
>>59175420Yeah. You get a special cutscene where you Mating Press Caraway while Tatora is forced to watch
>>59175393Not that unviable and uncommon, but obviously you wouldn't be aware of it if you're not seeing the other mega being used.
>>59175442Mega Lopunny is actually a top tier threat in singles
>>59175145I hate how many mons they cut
Champions should have just been another tier instead of a try hard positional top 300.Since this is purely elo based, it means you need to win a lot of wins in a row + against good players. Which just makes try hard no life autist even more try hardWhile totally ignoring the kids their actual target audience.
>>59175422If it’s singles just use slurpuff as a sticky web setter and then misty explosion it
after some hours of painstaking work, I finally moved my shiny kyogre from emerald all the way to bank can't wait for him to be playable >:)
>>59175474Thank goodness it's proud of its power and doesn't like to thrash about.
>>59175482LOL
>>59175366>wanted to make a triple intimidate team How would that even work?
Have you gotten into master ball with your favorites yet, anon?
Any good Suggestions on a 2nd mega not named Greninja to cover Fire and Ghost for M-Chimecho?
I’ve been using sableye and scarf h-typhosion to wilowisp and then infernal parade the opponent.

>>59175553They were thinking about unprotected baby making sex with Tatora
>>59175573>fat turtle with hose attachment>awesome fucking shark missileI know which one i would take
Is this game really that power hungry? I was playing on Switch 2 handheld, and when it reached 50 percent I put it in the dock and continued playing. I took it oit a couple hours later and it was still at 50 percent.
>>59174963Me me me I'll do it
I'm Ultra Ball Rank 1I can make it....
I get that less than $10 dollars gives you more than enough box spaces with 80, but I really wish they let players actually buy even more permanent spaces, and even team slots instead of having to put in a subscription service for a barebones battle sim
Rhyperior anon checking in. I saw there was someone else who was using rhyperior and made it to ultra ball, and posted their team here. I tried to reply, but 4chan blocked me from posting yesterday. Wasted 30 minutes trying to post, and was cock-blocked on my desktop and phone. I see you though!Wanted to post this yesterday, but couldn't :(
>>59175641I'm praying on your downfall.
What Pokemon check Swift Swim Basculegion?I'm looking for something that can either outspeed or tank it and return a OHKO, preferably after it's Wave Crashed once.
>>59175659That was me!I don't bring him often too be honest though, Araquanid has been the true MVP, destroying countless Zard Ys and Incins with Mystic Water Liquidation in Trick Room
>>59175674People are still playing Swift Swim Basculegion? I thought we all moved on to Choice Scarf Adaptability.
>>59175674Dry Skin Heliolisk completely shuts down Basculegion. Dry Skin absorbs water attacks, and it's one Ghost attack can't hit it since he's part Normal.
What 6th mon should I add to my first team:SableyeH-typhosionM-FeralgtrM-DragoniteSneaslerI realize it’s probably shit but I like using these guys and want to add one more decent option
>Struggle with homebrew teams>Get enough of struggling and losing>Straight up copy Aaron Cybertron Zheng's Sun Charizar/Venu team>Start winning>feel dirtyWhy must I be such a hipster gaylord? My wins feel illegitemate ;_;
>>59175683It's like 80/20 the last time I checked. Dedicated rain teams are more likely to run Swift Swim because it gives their Basculegion an advantage in the mirror.
>>59175696Probably better to get good at winning in general before you start crafting your own gimmicky teams. This games gonna be around for probably like 8 years so you have time.
>>59175696No shame in copying what works and iterating on it. I'm using the Floette team he showcased recenty, I just tweaked some of the moves and EV spreads. No one (successful) team builds in a bubble.
>>59175696Don't feel too bad, netdecking a meta team will only take you so far, and you'll reach a point where game knowledge and skill outweighs having a meta team.
>>59174945Using my free time to slowly climb through great ball and I've been pretty consistently passing prankster from whimsicott to passimianI've just been a little wishy-washy on who the sweeper is going to be; I went with palafin at first, but I quickly realized I got walled by grass types too easily and now I'm trying physical dragapult with more success but I'm wondering if I can do better. I'm also thinking of running volcarona for anti-weather and redirection with rage powder, heat wave, hurricane, and morning sunHas anyone else here bothered with prankster coaching strats? Any pointers?
When switching out both your pokemon on the same turn, is there a way to manipulate which one leaves the field first?
>>59175255I'm the complete opposite. I sailed into Master Rank on Singles with like maybe 5 losses total, meanwhile I can't even get out of Ultra Rank 4 in Doubles. I've been win/lose every couple matches for like 20 games now. It seems like no matter what I do or how I plan i always run into some unexpected bullshit or my opponent perfectly predicts everything I do. Frustrating as hell.
>>59175726Faster mon switches out first
Finally got to Master Ball tier. Sure it was on the back of landing freeze but hoo wee does it feel good.>>59175641WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT MY GOOD SIR.
>>59175657Yeah, even greedy freemium apps don’t skimp out on space. But I guess they’ve gotten brazen due to Home subs.
I permanent own Cofagrigus but doesnt have "Pain Split", what a shitty gemu.
>>59175194Average japanese Floette team is already running Delphox to kill the three mons that kill Floette and surprise surprise, Metagross also loses the matchup
>>59175737Hydreigon lost Roost for some fucking reason. I can't run my usual set for him now and it fucking sucks.
>Great Ball 3>Drizzle Peliper>Mega Feraligator>Choice Speed Archaludon with Electro Shot>Dragapult/Whimsicot 4thThis is easy mode right now since leading Peliper/Archaludon bipass intimidates since the both run special and each turn 1 guarantees a free SPA boosted Electroshot at the start of a battle. The only minor counter to this is if they have MegaZard Y but peliper swaps in and out turn 1 to reset drizzle.
Is the next VGC Worlds going to use the current regulation?
>>59175763I believe it will use whatever the next one is
>>59175753>Roosthttps://pokebase.app/pokemon-champions/moves/roostThis sucks, Pikachu, Gengar and Dragonite has full moveset complete. i fucking hate yellow monkeys shouting Kantooooo
>>59175331speaking of, are there any new titles from old ribbons?

when are the timmy hours
>>59175553You just don't get it... It's all about having unlimited unprotected sex with the cute ugly granddaughter of the guy you're looking their place over for. She has no self-esteem and she's nearing her 30s so she lets you cream pie her raw for free every night
>Found out last night shinies are part of the gacha slot machineOn the plus side I never got SV so the shiny Garganacl was a nice bonus. What should his nickname be?

>hurr me lead with protect espathra baton passi'm leading with kingambit if i see that little shit on your team and there's jack shit you can do about it
Is Mega Garde good at all? The weakness to dire claw of mega Floette is annoying
I've finally got my hands on Greninja, Politoed, Bellibolt, and Venusaur. How should I build my frog team?
>>59175255I got into doubles because I hated how much of singles was running into walls, pivoting around often in a risky way, and some monster getting a stat boost and sweeping the game. All of that is so much easier to play around in doubles.
Does sleep not count the turn you get put to sleep?I just lost a match because 3 of my mons got outsped and spent 3 attacks sleeping each.
>>59175879Iirc it's Turn 1 sleep, Turn 2 1/3 chance to wake, Turn 3 awake.
how the fuck do you deal with this piece of shitthere's no good special fighting/ground attackers
>>59175296I got rekt the other day by a Choice Scarf Krookodile so I can't knock it too much. I was not expecting it to outspeed my Aerodactyl.>>59175354I saw a clip of Beak Blast and no I don't think Toucannon's beak changed colours.
>>59175886Mega Lucario dumpsters it but that's asking a lot to include one on your team
>>59175886Hit it with anything it doesnt ressist
>>59175886Mega Glimmora, who also dumpsters Zard.>>59175858I have bad news for you.
>>59175886Kommo-O and Medicham have been consistent at dealing with this fucker for me, but I lost 15 MB tier games in a row and went from 1813 points down to 1604 over the past few days and have only begun to slowly make my way upwards
I run Mega Scizor with Bug Bite. I wish I could see their faces when this thing eats their berries

>>59175901Silly question, how does Bug Bite interact with the resist berries? Does it just remove them?
>get 3 minimizes off>enemy literally cannot hit me >as they slowly die from burns and sand
I've been using this team but so far but I'm only really making use out of pelipper, dragonite, basculegion and incineroar. Any ideas on how to make better use of the other two?
You will never be champion
>>59175909Who are you minimizing
I guess the fun in coming back from Gen 7 is finding out brand new moves to play with.
quick claw proc lol!! epic for the win!!
Is Poison Touch Sneasler too niche?
Should I bother with Scorching Sands on Mega Delphox, or just stick to Sub/Encore?
Adaptability Bascu is just pure evil what the fuck
>>59175937It's not even toxic poisoning so it seems pointless. It might even cockblock your Dire Claw from scoring an actually useful effect.
>>59175937Isn’t poison touch preferred since it stacks with dire claw?
Is there any reason why there are moves that guarantee sleep, confusion, paralysis, and burn, but not one that guarantees freeze?
>>59175932Hope you enjoy my kings rock and bright powder too lmao
Considering the membership just for the extra music
>>59175937It's ass, and poison is the worse status condition in doubles.
>>59175696Being slightly better at using the meta than other metaslaves is a hollow achievment. Truly based trainers try to win with their favorites.
>>59175938The only relevant mon 4x weak to ground is Glimmora and you already destroy that with Psychic.
>>59175886this thing pops to any strong neutral special
>>59175852Gardevoir is also weak to dire claw
HOW TF DO I GET TO MASTER RANK WITH MEGA GARDE!?
>>59175938My experience with it was I was better off either switching, clicking heat wave, or protecting every time I could have clicked it and I swapped to sub.
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET TO MASTER BALL RANK WITH MEGA GARDE
>>59175886Use Basculegion’s Flip Turn to bait and switch its Electroshot into Garchomp while you manually switch/mega evo into your own weather setter on the other side.
Maint time?
>>59175659>>59175678Post Rhyperior and Araquanid builds please.I ran into a Rhyperior today and it tanked 3 seed bombs without boosts.
I still get confused when people run Charizard X
>>59175987Pair her with choice scarf round cloud nine altaria
>>59175937With our current held item selection there is no point to ever use Poison Touch. The only reason you'd ever use it is if you wanted to use an item like Choice Band that won't proc Unburden. Unburden with Sash or White Herb is just way too good.
They changed the speed priority with Mega, right? A glimmora managed to mega and outspeed my max-speed jolly ZardX
My roar just got upper handed i should kill myself
>>59176033Yes speed changes are instant now.
>>59176033mega glim is 1 point faster than both zards
>>59175926he said sand and burn so I'm guessing sand viel brightpowder Sandaconda
>>59175977Play like its floette
What are some good teams with mega Starmie? Is it better for singles or doubles? Pic related is a team an anon shared.
how does a 'dual mega' setup with floette work? Does it mean you bench floette, or run it alongside another mega and use it itemless?
just got into champion tier with hisui goodra it's dumb as fuck with a life dew, shelter, body press, heavy slam set. turn 1 set up shelter and everyone ignores it and targets its partner who is a bigger immediate threat. by turn 3 it's basically invincible and can solo their entire team by itself. also battle armor for crit cheese immunity
I HAD THE GAME WON LITERALLY LAST TURN BUT THIS FUCKING SHITHOLE I MOVED INTO RUINED ITPOWER WENT OUT AHAHAHA WOW IT RAINED AGAIN AND THE POWER WENT OUT AGAINFUCK THE MIDWEST I MISS EUROPE
>>59176059You still run 2 mega stones but you bring whichever mega is best for the matchup.>opponent has a lot of steel and poison? bring mega delphox>opponent doesn't have a lot of fairy resist? bring mega floette
>>59176063What EV spread? I have yet to see a single person using hisui goodra.
>>59175863add a toxicroak to your lineup as a rain counterdry skin blanks all water moves and the only other attack that actually threatens it under rain is hurricane, whose users can be handled by belliboltgo max hp max def/spdef (whichever one is more annoying for your team) and run it as a bulky support mon with moves like taunt and encorealso give it knock off for utility and drain punch so it can sit in front of archaludon without being threatened by ititem slot is flexible, i run leftovers on mine but that's a mono poison team so you might want to save that for something elsein that case a sitrus or lum berry is probably fine
>>59176080i'm running max HP and Def, its probably only working because no one else is running it lol
>>59176086aw man I had no idea toxicroak was in too, I can hit 5/6 frogs before a Poliwrath/Seismitoad update. I've really been looking forward to using Bellibolt specifically since I don't play the mainline games anymore. I guess Greninja is gonna be a support-mon or Protean hit and run attacker since I don't have a copy of ZA. I might try that kind of Toxicroak then, it's not how I'm used to playing it but it sounds great for Archaludons/weather meta. Thank you fellow frog enjoyer.
>>59176086>>59176101Based frog anons. Wishing you the best, maybe I'll make a frog team too.
Apparently it's shit, but Gallade is my favorite pokemon, so I'm trying to use the megaBeen using Whimsicott for Tailwind support, but I can't really figure out what other kind of support this guy needs. For the moment I just have some generic good mons on the team with them like Sneasler and IncineroarRight now I'm just running attacks, Sacred Sword, Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade and Shadow Sneak. Figured it wasn't worth trying Bulk Up or anything like thatDoes anyone have any ideas for how they would run this if they were dumb enough to try?
Everyone moved from reaching master ball now 2000+ elo is the new show off
>>59175524what a shame doro, i went to sleep as you posted that. Now at work though, and itll be quite some time before i can get around to any trading. Maybe in the weekends, but we'll see>>59176059Mainly you decide beforehand who do you wanna bench, but if you bring Floette you always wanna Mega her. Though there are niche mons like Ttar who dont mind coming in itemless besides Floette
>>59176101>I've really been looking forward to using Bellibolt specificallyhe's got some funny tricksgood bulk and a great hp stats means it can actually use that electromorphosis ability to do some solid damage, plus it's got screens/weather ball/acid spray/soak if you want to be funny>I might try that kind of Toxicroak then, it's not how I'm used to playing itabusing dry skin in a support role is about the only thing toxicroak can do these days given how much better sneasler is as an offensive threateven if you ignore dire claw it also has a much higher statline and access to unburden, so offensive toxicroak is completely outclassed in a best case scenariothough toxicroak has been one of the most consistent kyogre counters regardless of format for his entire life so i'd argue a defensive anti-rain role is true to his roots>>59176109frog together strong>>59176121a gallade with sharpness can put up better damage than mega gallade can if you're using slicing moves anywayyou're best off using stronger moves like close combat and zen headbutt if you're going to be using the mega specifically, or you could go sharpness base gallade and drop leaf blade/shadow sneak for coaching/helping hand/some other support option instead
Bullying my wife at the end of each battlehttps://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/143383436
>>59176121Every time I’ve seen Gallade he’s been some kind of pseudo attacking support that has trick room or wide guard and some attacks rather than a pure attacker but that was in S/V I dunno how he works out here
>>59176121I've heard a lot of people don't know that mega Gallade has inner focus, so they try to use fake out and get KOd in return, like mega Lopunny and Kangaskhan.
>>59175954Most people run Unburden with Focus Sash or White Herb. Lets Sneasler outrun even opposing Tailwind.
this was absolutely not worth it
Haven’t figured out the best teammates but Hisuian Samurott with a scarf seems to be something some teams can’t deal with very well kinda digging it >>59176168Omedetou
How can it be competitive if it's literally random and up to luck for almost every little thing
>>59176121Mega Gallade got cucked by not getting Sharpness. It's better to just stick to normal Gallade.Psycho CutSacred SwordWide GuardTrick Room^ This was it's standard set it ran throughout SV. It's a unique Trick Room setter that can also hit hard and gets access to Wide Guard.Unfortunately we don't have Clear Amulet which was almost always it's held item so White Herb will have to do.
>>59176173luck is a factor in every form of competitionbesides there are plenty of ways to optimize things like luck out of the equation when it comes to your own team setupyou might get unlucky losses due to rock slide flinches or something every now and again but it's not like you're blindly trying your luck every single game
>>59176121for doubles team building, preferably you start off with two mons with some synergy, and then you can think what to slap for the next four. So you start off with the idea first. For example Gallade is weak to ghosts (Basculegion) and is quite frail, so i would think you always want Maushold as your support, since you can use follow me, and with Friend Guard he lets Gallade live longer. Importantly, Maushold is faster than Talonflame assuming he still isnt in gale wings, which you probably could kill first.For the next four, i suppose just scroll through pikalytics and think about which mons you have problems beating and bringing the support for those respective mons
>>59176121>>59176180Alternatively, you just follow what other people have used because teambuilding is understandably hardhttps://www.pikalytics.com/pokedex/championstournaments/gallade
>>59176146It's good to see Tatora finally getting some lewds
>>59176152Every single time I've had Gallade in front of a sneasler or inciniroar they tried to fake out him.
>>59176215Why are they both flashing me
>>59176143As soon as I acquire a Toxicroak I shall get to work. I think I'm retarded, it wasn't that I forgot I had one, I think it was in my early rolls and I either returned it or passed up on it, I definitely saw oneNow I wonder who best embodies the froggy spirit for a 6th slot until an update. Maybe the ol reliable Zoroark that I never bring in to make them second guess obvious plays, since it can mimic the appearance of a frog with illusion...
>>59176168Any extra box space?
>>59176229orthworm as the bait to attract the 5 frogs
Just caught 2 shiny G Slowpokes in Scarlet, I already have a G Slowking I use on my Trick Room team so I'll replace him with the new shiny. Any use for G Slowbro?

Just got to masterball with my real niggas, or RN's for shortFeraligatrConkelldurrScizorWhimsicottIncelroarAnd a Sylveon that got one (1) battle inMy final battle to get in was hilarious. Lead conk and Feraligatr. He lead Aerodactyl and sneasler. DD and ice punch. They protected. Then, he brought in taueos for the intimidate. I did again. Then they swap again, DD again. I'm +2 attack/+3 speed. DD again until I get hit, then proceed to sweep. Managed to get 5 DD off before the end.
>>59176300Top 300 is pretty brutal and will only get harder once they open the floodgates to all the mobile players. I think they intentionally kept the rewards low for Champions tier so people don't feel forced to climb for it.
Can't think of a moveset for Mega Slowbro, he's got so much shit and you can't pack it all in just 4 moveslots.
>>59176259skill swap onto a mon with quick claw is also an option lol
>>59176172What evs are you running? I've been starting it with mega manetric but it gets blown up quick.You can leave manetric un-mega for lightning rod, then mega volt switch for intimidate into another intimidate user etc.

I FUCKING HATE SLEEP POWDER VENUSAUR
>>59176462So I'm running the following for singles. Mind if anyone can see any glaring weakpoint?>zardX (Atk+Spe)>sneasler (Focus Sash Atk+Spe)>meowscarada (Spec Atk+Spe)>corviknight (Leftovers HP+SpDef)>garchomp (LumBerry Atk+Spe)>azumarill (Sitrus HP+Atk)
>>59176475You would probably do better asking another Zard player. This team is tough for me personally, it hits a few of my weaknesses and I'd have to run some weird hybrid mode. You're not leaning as hard into sunlight as other zard players I've fought and I'm struggling with Sneasler right now and to a lesser degree Garchomp. I don't know if that's a strength or it's somehow hypertuned to be a nightmare for me personally.
>>59176475Oh wait>SinglesYeah singles is a different beast entirely. I just run Glimmora.

Does this game throw bots at you even in ranked?

>>59176654Pretty sure that streamer guy is some overwatch/rivals fag. No surprise he sucks ass at video games.
>>59176633the obvious answer is to cut more mons and items
It's like they specifically set out to design a breeder character who has sex with the pokemon. WHat's going on at Nintendo?

I don’t see what makes Mega Garde so much worse than Floette I look at their stats and they’re like the same, Floette has light of ruin but most people seem scared to click it
>>59176909fairy aura is one of the most busted abilities in the game
>>59176913I play Mega Gardy to piggyback on the enemy's aura.
Is Heliolisk any good? I was thinking of going for Sand Veil cancer involving ParaFlinch instead of Dry Skin.Something like Parabolic Charge/Discharge/Hyper Voice/Shed Tail or Protect or U Turn. Partnered with my stupid Temu Incineroar >>59175356Dry Skin's the better one though right? Funny how they gave it three weather abilities though.
>>59176913(mega garde hyper voice) 90 x 1.2(Mega Floette dazzling gleam) 80 x 1.3Mega Floette is 1 point faster than Garchomp instead of slower though so I guess that’s a big deal
>>59176903Nah. That's what the mouth breathers are playing. They're too stupid to build teams themselves so they copypaste the easy team that's simple to pilot. Probably got it from some youtube clickbait video. I farmed those teams before swapping to doubles to grind badges.
>>59176909Floette is just a better Mega Garde in nearly every way>higher hp>higher def>higher spdef>higher speed>no ghost weakness>gets a fairy boost on both it's spread AND single target attackThe only thing Garde has over Floette is more coverage moves
>Finally get off my lazy fat ass and decide to get HOME and link everything up>Transfer Bank mons fro (3)DS and before eras>Transfer a bunch of PoGO mons(Niantic being ultra jews as expected with their transponder energy, luckily I was sitting on like 3500 coins)>Sift trough boxes etc on Scarlet and Arceus>Had been using rentals untill now>Now get to use my own mons>Feels differentEnjoyment increased by like 40% now that the Dragonite I use as my mega is my ancient old ass Dragonite I used in Fire Red, which I totally didn't cheat for with infinite money codes on my Action Replay so I could buy Dratini ASAP in that playtrough or anything..Also using the Pelipper that I used in early Alola VGC as my rain setter(From the Double Duck team)I mean, let's be real. Functionally speaking there's literally 0 difference between these Dragonite(Claire) and Pelipper(Samidare)I EV'd them exactly the same as those rentals.But it just feels different y'know...These are MY Mons.Go! Claire, The Champion!Go! Samidare, The Once Well Trained!
>>59176839Total fanfic meta death. Should've stayed in your goddamn lane
Would you like Incineroar if he didn't look... like that
Oh great, the Meowscarada I pulled is male, how are we supposed to have sex after every win... unless...
So here's a funny story.Two years ago I was breeding for a shiny Ralts in SwSh, never got it. Put the game down for some reason, can't remember why, and forgot about it. But with Champions out I've been going back to my old games to transfer my pokemon. And so I boot up my SwSh save file and find I've still got some eggs from the shiny hunt. Decided to hatch them because why not.The first egg that hatched out of the bunch was a shiny.I feel like this is a sign.
Is it just me or is Mega Delphox just a more powerful version of Mega Gardevoir?Yeah, it has less power, but the speed tier alone and being good enough to survive a hit is very noticeable
>>59176985Once we get a terrain setter mega Delphox will lose whatever niche it has over Gardevoir because Levitate means it loses out on those benefits.
What's a good resource to find Pokemon with certain abilities or moves? Like if I want to find a taunt Pokemon available in Pokemon Champions. Surely there is something between the 100 or so Pokemon websites that exist.
>>59176994Just use the serebii champion pokedexhttps://serebii.net/pokedex-champions/
Mega Glalie, 120 attack, refrigerate ability turns explosion into a 323 power STAB Ice type move. Why is no one running this thing again?
>>59176997Because blowing up your mega only for your epic explosion to get protected isn't a very good strategy.
>>59176996I don't see a filter for moves anywhere there.
>>59177024Go to any mon and click on a move. It will bring you to the attack dex.
>>59176003Here's the pokepaste link to the team I'm using https://pokepast.es/ac017bc837ce1cdc
Whats a good resource to see some teams?Kinda wanna check out if there are any Mega Blastoise teams. Possibly rain with Shell Smash?Although I fear Archualadon with Blastoise and then Peli/Toed as rain setter. That's just asking to be Electro Shot
>>59177064Blastoise I would imagine gets paired with Maushold for redirection+water spout but you can check battle data in game to see most common partners I could be wrong
>>59177064People usually aren't running it with Shell Smash in doubles. It threatens Water Spout if not dealt with though.
>>59176915What does your team look like?
Alright, caught a Shiny Alpha Braixen in ZA, so now I'm going to commit to a double Mega option with Delphox and Gardevoir. I'm probably going to drop my Sinistcha and MAYBE Incineroar since Basculegion can already fuck up 4/6s of my team.
>>59176921I've tried him on a sand team with veil. It's really rare for the ability to make a difference, even with bright powder/focus sash or situs berry. Shed tail is really good if you have a very bulky setup mon to switch into though. I was trying shed tail into Aggron and the sub would sometimes last 3 attacks, but usually 2.Dry skin is just straight up the best ability he has though. He's decent as a water swap in maybe for like gyarados removal, but overall he's just slightly too weak, slightly too slow and very too squishy.
Rotom wash is countering my team so hard. Why is everybody running it?
>>59177082I stole it.
>>59177086Because it has Levitate for some fuck ass reason.
>>59177086Because it's always been one of the best mons in the game unless the format powercreeps too much.
>>59177086Electric with levitate + water typing to hit ground mons.
is there any shame in deleting the freebie team you start with if you're F2P? I'm working with pre-master ball box space and when the fuck am I gonna use a Sylveon
>>59177099Sylveon is the only eeveelution actually viable in doubles.
>>59177099They are literally 1s and 0s and they can never leave champions.I know pokemon has hammered the "you gotta love your pokemons and treat em right" message into your head for over a decade but come on man. If you know you aren't gonna make a team with them then send em off to the farm
>>59177105>>59177105>they can never leave champions.Wait, if I send in a mon from HOME they are stuck in Champion FOREVER??
>>59176985They have much less in common than you would think. Gardevoir's strenght is almost entirely on its Fairy-type and Delphox is almost entirely on its Fire-type coupled with its high base speed. Being able to oneshot Gengar is a big thing for Delphox but more of a bonus for Gardevoir.>>59176988Honestly, I'm seeing Delphox getting used against Psyspam teams instead together. They would have to run something fringe like Shadow Ball just to touch Delphox with its high special defense. Psyspam is going to have to watch out Mega Metagross possible return as well, it eats most Psychic-types alive Delphox not-withstanding.
>>59177137No, home mons can go back.Mons recruited within champions cant leave
>>59177137no retard
>>59177139Makes sense>>59177140Guess I kinda deserved that one
>>59176539Yeah max hp/attack, I've been running white herb but you can try leftovers if nobody else is using it.The boost from not getting intimidated does more damage than holding silk scarf.
I pulled a Hattrene with a trick room spread and I’m trying to branch out from sandstorm teams for the cheevos. Who else should I cop?
>>59177061looks fun, cheers anon
>Big transfer from Bank to Home finally complete>Number of mons pre transfer in Home: 5>Number of mons post transfer in Home: 1871Hm. I may have a bit of a hoarding problem..
>>59177002You run last respects Basculegion behind it. Whack in a tailwind user to set tailwind and then die with Glalie. Then maybe something incineroar to fakeout on the first turn basculegion comes in and parting shot whatever basculegion isn't 1hko-ing.Probably one of the fastest ways to rank up at least at lower levels due to how little set up there is. Might not have the highest win rate but it will have some of the quickest average game times.
>get to Greatball>champion lady gives me +5 free Pokemon slotsHuh, I didn't know about this. Do they give even more free slots on the later ranks?
>>59177233Oh nevermindSo that's +20 extra slots we get for free. Maybe I don't even need to bother with the starter pack then
>>59177233Yes
>>59177239I'm guessing it doesn't stack with Doubles ranked
Anybody tried mega Victreebel much yet?I'm seriously considering it just because I need a mega with grass/poison typing specifically, but talk around town about it isn't great.Has it got an undiscovered niche and it's just copping insults because it looks kinda perverted/dumb, or is it just straight up bad?
>>59175043low power meta and no covert cloak = rock slide spam
>>59177269normal victreebel is better than mega but worse than venusaur
i dont think i like this game enough to bother grinding for champion tier
What's the best floette+delphox team rn. Ive been running garchomp sneasler aerodactyl incineroar but it just feels a little weak in some matchups. Ive seen some people swap out garchomp incineroar for basculegion kingambit. But havent tested it yet. My issue is that floette feels kinda weak in this setup without supporters, but could be skill issue.
>open up GO after nearly a decade>find a Sableye and CastformWell they might be going in the team
>>59177351Mouse using follow me + superfamg and taunt helps Floette a lot
Is it worth getting a bulky tank Garchomp to set up rocks? I don't want to waste VP.
>>59177481Yes on the bulky tank part, meh on the rocks (unless you NEED them to break sash for your main hitter). I run mine with SD
>>59177481Hazards are overrated but the fact literally nobody is running spin + no boots it might be worthwhileI think you’d prefer rocks on bulkier teams since 3v3 favors heavy hitters that don’t need rocs to secure kills
>>59177414I was using this before but it creates such a strong reliance on Floette staying alive and felt weak vs tailwind team. Besides that I love the combo of Floette / Delphox, covers all matchups. I'm still tinkering with the last 4 slots though.
I love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
I FUCKING HATE CORVIKNIGHT AAAAAAAA
game is alive and well
can I get to master playing only one hour a day?
I lost to psych terrain cause I forgot it protects from priority moves, how fucking DUMB
>>59177553Yeah. It only took me about 3 hours to get to master
>>59177535corviknight + toxapex in singles is literally the most toxic thing in the game rn. which is why im using them
>>59177565>minun used thundershockheh nothing parasol
Do pokemon still count as holding an item if they mega evolve?
>>59177615Yes, but Knock Off never gets the power boost since you aren't removing the item.
i am so fucking tired of basculegion and sneasler like you wouldn't believe
>>59177505I’m doing Aero, Mouse, Flotette, Delphox, Incin (I should switch to sneasler, probably), and Garchomp (Basculegion would probably be better as well, maybe female mixed so I have Ice Beam for opposing chomp).
Reminder for when you encounter a Stalltist player.>take your sweet time selecting moves and waste their time just as much as they waste yours>if you are going to lose, just disconnect. You will not be punished.I have encountered 20 people in the past 3 days using stall garbage, each one I disconnected and it has not ranked me down once. I'm free to just keep going up in ranks lmao.No clue if they still get a win, but at least it doesn't count as a loss for me.
>>59177722If you time out the match, it’s a draw. Do with that info what you will ;)
