Signs of a perfectly balanced metagame.
>>
>>59206683
>another Meganium top 8
OHHHHHH NO NO NO TYPEDOS WE GOT TOO COCKY
>>
Why there is so many spaniards? The moroccan boyfriends of their wives must be helping them.
>>
>>59206683
>Charizrad is number 1
Looks fine to me
>>
show me a metagame where everyone uses something different
a metagame is when everyone finds out what's good and uses it
>>
>>59206683
>industry plant the meta
yawn
>>
>23 different Pokemon are good enough to make the top 8 of a tournament, 24 if you count Char-X and -Y as different Pokemon, in a format where at least one of your team slots needs to be one of a subset of specific species
>dual mega teams are finding success despite being close to non-existent the last time megas were tournament legal

Seems pretty good to me.
>>
>>59206683
Smogon could never.
>>
>>59206683
Box limit is wack, future mon additions could be überwack, I like Champions
>>
>>59206769
why you you need more boxes, its not like more than 25 pokemon in the franchise matter?
>>59206754
never what? make a gimmick that only exists fto force people to like the shillmons that they want them do? rape kids? be lazy? make shitty games. Never what?
>>
Long sneasel is good? Doesn't it die horribly to psychic?
>>
>>59206784
Based. To both responses.
>>
>>59206800
Indeedee not in so psychic a shit
>>
>>59206800
>implying psychic type exists
My guess is that there's no good psychic terrain setters in this meta. There's no Tapus, and I'm not sure about Indeedee.
>>
>>59206800
Can’t die horribly if everything dies before you
>>
>>59206683
i'm interested in what makes wash rotom good, is it just a really solid electric type that also counters ground?
>>
>>59206831
Bro has bulk and pain split for recovery, also volt switch to slow pivot. People also use him to spread status
>>
>>59206831
>excellent typing paired with a good ability
>very good utility and movepool (disregard Hydro Pump)
>good enough stats for a low-power format

Rotom-H (and to a lesser extent Rotom-C) are also very good for the same reasons

Actually kill yourself, without stuff like the SHIT EATING FAGGOT BEARS, Amogus, or FlutterCunt matches are watchable after fucking 7 years. This will be the most diverse meta in Champions we'll ever get jfc.
>>
>>59206732
>half the mons are duplicates
Does not sound pretty good to me.
>>
>>59206877
what do you think a metagame is?
stick to the campaign if you want hecking variety
>>
>>59206878
I do. I like not having to use some variation of the same 10 ugly shitmons
>>
>>59206800
It's stupidly fast and stupidly strong and has a stupid movepool and a stupid ability that lets it outspeed scarfed/tailwind enemies

There are no faster psychic types that aren't paper and no psychic multihit/priority moves
>>
>>59206921
Why do they decide to give the most ugly creatures like sneasler and inceleroar the most broken shit?

>ugly
>>
>>59206933
Upper Hand is a TM than a lot of pokemon could learn. Also the lack of a good and fast psychic type is the thing that let him run rampart.
>>
>>59206683
Venuchad won

>>59206683
>rep from every region (even shit like hisui and kitakami)
>except hoenn
truly the weakest of all regions
>>
>>59206933
I hate both of them so fucking much
>>
>>59206769
anon the meta is revolving for a reason. Your box will be half clear by season 2 when they first dex rotation take place.
>>
>>59206991
Ummm bro your torkoal? You’re milotic?
>>
>>59206877
better that the swshit and sv metal where all the team where duplicate
>>
>>59206683
Kojosisters…you told me scovilain wasn’t a shitmon…

>has the same ability as the p2w shill bear from swsh dlc
>people would still rather use the base form
>look uglier on top of that so porn can’t even save it
What a complete disaster of a shillmon
>>
>>59207052
I like it when they have to rely on porn to save shitmons lol
>>
>>59207052
We can argue the same about Megachomp. Hell, could Chomp-Z even save the mega variant?
>>
>>59207029
And /vp/ said that Mega Meganium was worthless trash...
It's almost as if this board is always wrong.
>>
>>59207195
No, it didn't. There were a lot of people hyping Meganium when its ability was announced.
>>
>>59207195
>Kujo is now pretending he always was on meganium side
good puppy
>>
>>59207207
You clearly didn't see the posts shitting on Mega Meganium for its 4× weaknesses to Poison and how its usage rate was low.
>>
>>59207052
They nerfed the ability into the ground and put it in weather wars. Its best niche is being able to OHKO through protect with horn drill, but the meta isn't tanky enough to justify it.

>>59207220
It's especially funny, now that it's gotten top 8 on two tournaments and its overall usage has quite literally doubled from two weeks ago.
>>
>>59207195
this is the same loli-raping board that unironically thinks all starters are shillmos
>>
>>59206683
Yes? That's about as much diversity as you'd expect from a meta where you build your team around one centerpiece and there are only a handful of centerpieces to choose from.
>>
>>59206683
it could be a lot worse but it's also not the best
gimme the best vgc years
>>

>Sun team
>zardX team
>TailRoom team
>Sandcore tean
>Sun Room team
>Balanced Snow team

>2nd Floette team
Unironically the most diversity we've seen in a VGC top 8 in a long long time.
>>
>>59206683
it really does get so boring isnt it
its so predictable
we know what each mon does and shit

WTF?
>>
>>59206683
>they were so mad about gmax zard jobbing in worlds that they went put of their way to ensure zard wins this time
Fucking lmao
>>
>>59206784
>rape kids?
Finchinator certainly would
>>
>>59206683
>Americans STILL only win with jank
Based
>>
>two teams with Mega Scizor
>In Charizard: The Meta
My BRO
>>
>>59206800
People were theorizing that mega Floette would dominate the entire meta, so everyone brought Sneasler, the Mega Floette hard counter.
>>
>>59206800
Only teams that seriously run psychic types are trick room teams, otherwise maybe you'll very rarely run into the occasional Mega Alakazam or Starmie
>>
>>59206683
>NOOOOOOOO!!! WHY AREN'T THEY USING MY FAVOURITE POKEYMONS GARDEVOIR, LOPUNNY, VAPOREON AND TSAREENA???
>>
>>59206683
Further proof that CHARIZARD is one of the best pokemon ever made.
I love CHARIZARD so much.
>>
>>59208097
This but unironically
>>
>>59206683
Floette is really getting cockblocked by zard isnt it
once it's gone it will come back stronger
>>
>>59208301
I think Floette is kinda fucked forever mega Metagross is looming on the horizon and Rillaboom will spook it bad too and it will have to deal with assault vest.
>>
>>59206683
>Mega Dragonite wasn't shi-
>>
>Incineroar undefeated after 10 years
Apologize
>>
>Hydreigon in top 5
Is he being used as a Tailwind setter or for damage?
>>
>>59208883
tailwind setting. That shitmon hit like a wet noodle
>>
>>59208883
Hydreigon needs Life Orb or Choice Specs to do significant damage, neither of which are in the game. There is the meme Focus Energy set, but anyone with an IQ over 90 should be able to deal with that.
>>
>>59208883
>>59208900
Hydreigon gets forcefemmed and snuggled by Sylveon.
