New Season in a few days Edition

Pokémon Champions is a free to play online battle simulator available on Switch with a mobile release later. It features ranked, casual and private battles for both singles and doubles, and will be used for VGC tournaments in 2026.

>News
Mobile version coming June 17th
During the Pokémon North America International Championships, you will be able to get a code for Blastoise by viewing the livestream on Twitch with Twitch Drops enabled

>Resources and useful links

New Player Guide(NEW PEOPLE READ THIS):
https://rentry.org/pcg-guide (now taking suggestions and feedback)

Quick FAQ
>Do I need my own Pokémon to play?
No, the game features a recruitment system, but transferring from Home is recommended to save time and resources.
>What makes the game so much more accessible than before?
All aspects of a Pokémon are customizable with VP, a currency earned simply by playing the game. IVs are also removed.
Ask in the thread if you want any specific Pokémon, and someone will respond.
>Is there single player content?
No.
>Do I need a Nintendo Online subscription?
No.
>What's the starter pack?
US$6.99 one time purchase for 50 training tickets (fully train for free), 30 Teammate Tickets (recruit Pokemon without using VP), 50 extra box space and the LGPE trainer music.
>Is anything locked behind a paywall?
So far everything gameplay relevant is also purchasable with VP. Mega Kalos starters and E-Floette require ZA transfer.

I wonder if the Critical Hit bonus on Urshifu's sig moves ignores the 25% reduction. I imagine not and it's prob still just 25% of what the normal crit damage would be, but that'd be really funny if it just bypassed that.

Its a shame people like Wolfe aren't derided as the cheesy faggots they are. This dude spends his time trying his hardest to NOT play pokemon while playing pokemon. Every strategy of his is some cheesy bullshit designed not to win the game but to lose you the game. Its antithetical to the spirit and nature of pokemon and for some reason everyone decided to do tricks on his dick to the point they made that fucking incineroar bullshit retard cat specifically to enhance this faggots style of cancer "play". No fucking child is picking up pokemon with dreams of perish trapping Cynthias garchomp to become the champion. No normal person has twinkles in their eye thinking about how they can intimidate fake out and then cycle in a rillaboom for another intimidate fake out after they hit this fake out so make sure you protect the other slot for maximum uptime....

This dude is a fucking fag and no one should like him and his way of existence when it comes to pokemon should be considered anathema

Do you think they're gonna buff Dark Void when Darkrai returns? They didn't in S/V but now that is has the Mega, they might give it some love again. Alternatively Darkrai gets a new ability that combos Bad Dreams with No Guard
>>
>>59358530
No. If they actually allow Darkrai, then the nerf will finally make sense.
>>
>>59358539
I actually just realized that we might not get Darkrai for a long time. Regulation J was three years after S/V dropped, the only one that allowed Mythicals - and it wasn't even used for actual competitive play. Assuming they still let us use Megas, we might not get Mega Darkrai for three years. I wish they would just let us use non-allowed regulation Pokemon in casuals already and let us transfer in more.

NAIC Day 3 is live very shortly.

Championship Sunday is always kind of crappy because you have only 20-40m of VGC to watch and it's usually the last event. Expect finals to be quite a lot later.
>>
>>59360864
For what it's worth the commentators referred to him as "she" so I'm assuming he's trans.
>>
>>59360782
nah he didn't get fucked by crits. That ceru was out so long doing nothing but getting hit. He had good luck with crits if anything. He just keeps expecting it to never happen. Also that 1hp live.

There were several matches where it felt Mamo would have helped and some where he left it unprotected when the opponent actually respected it.

Step 3. Then once you have done it all, go to your twitch and check that progress is being made in the blastoise and watch 30 mins of the stream

When you enter the chat for the Pokémon stream, you should see a pop up above the chat explaining it. You should be able to click that and make the timer pop up.
>>
>>59361341
yes, its stuck on champions for ever :)
>>
>>59361051
Seeing Wolfefags getting butthurt about him losing only because of RNG when literally every single streamed match of him had him getting double protects and winning speed ties always at critical times has been delightful. But it's okay when he does it. If someone else gets lucky then it's unfair when he does it's "world champ difference".
Hypocritical fucks.

>>59361040
>>59361043
It's always been like that.
The positive is seeing the kiddies play too. They can be a joy to watch sometimes with how excitable and awkward they are.

I imagined a scenario where the only Pokémon added in M-B were Mega Raichu X, Mega Raichu Y, Mega Garchomp Z, Mega Absol Z, Mega Absol and Mega Absol Z and I couldn't stop laughing.

I didn't get to play much this season. Pray for me to get Beedrill Professor in the two days left before it's impossible to obtain due to powercreep. Mega Beedrill Z when?

i wish they'd let just let rosemary do commentary solo. the guy sounds as monotone and speddy as some of the competitors
>>
>>59362066
Rosemary never deserved the opportunity to do commentary in the first place. She's a little better recently, but she's been doing commentary for a long time and has basically never understood the game, plays that can be made, damage rolls, or in general anything beyond just observing and saying what's happening on the screen. It's painful to see her paired with other commentators that can actually think beyond what's happening currently, and I'm pretty sure rosemary can't visualize an apple in her head.
>>
>>59362071
This. over and over again the other commentator have to correct her or point out what's actually going on.
>>
Mega Drampa with Sinistcha feels really good
>>
>>59362071
at the very least it's not a literal struggle to understand what she's saying, she's an engaging spokesperson even if her observation needs improvement
>>
does noone plays taunt? holy shit
>>
>>59362074
She basically exists for this guy >>59362081
because there's going to be an audience that can't even pay attention to what's happening on screen and also can't think beyond the current turn.
Her observation needed improvement 12 years ago when she started. She doesn't deserve the position she has and is only there to be one half of the gender divide.
>>
>>59362081
she wont fuck you man, give it a rest.
>>
what's the point of stall if you're not gonna run toxic
>>
>>59362082
taunt has been really rare this whole regulation, locking people into encore has kind of replaced it
>>
So is Toxapex just a chokemon at this point?
>>
>>59362108
that makes no sense.
there’s cheese TR teams/attacker boosters/baton pass/sleep shit/toxapex residentsleeper sets etc etc

I dunno when they added them but those little idle breaks the Pokemon do while waiting for you to select a move are really nice. It's cool seeing them flourish a bit, roar, or look side to side all alert. Hammers home that they're ultimately monsters you're supposed to be commanding as friends.

You guys are so cute thinking TPC gives a fuck. Or thinking that the average person gives a fuck.
Tourneyfags and competitivefags don't make even 1% of TPC's revenue.
We've had far more embarrassing formats in the past. And people kept playing them and defending them anyway. The VGCuck is completely buckbroken and no matter how much TPC abuses him the VGCuck will keep playing.
Besides, flinchspam is a tried and true VGC tradition. This is was the past, is the present, and will continue being as such in the future.

Yeah competitive counts so little they made an entire game just for compfags.
>>
>>59362507
Someday you people will realize that the true purpose of VGC is to have glorified not-conventions for people to buy merch and become more parasocial with the brand and have gay cosplay sex with your friends at hotel room shares.
They're not gonna dump that avenue of money just because the mainline games are moving away from turn-based.
And let's be honest now, Champions would be a much better game if they truly cared about competitivefags. This is something made out of obligation, not out of thoughtful care.

Pokemon is a game of probability management. You can set yourself to win more often than lose, but at the end of the day there is an RNG component to the game. Many people find that fun. If you are not one of them, you should consider a different game.

>dude just manage the flinches and the misses and the speed ties and the damage rolls that have literally nothing to do with your control
>>
>>59362617
same energy as people who want the ak to be perfectly accurate lol
>>
>>59362617
Unironically yes.
Don't like missing? Use 100% acc moves.
Don't wanna get flinched by Rock Slide? Pack Wide Guard. Pack Pokemon faster than the most common Rock Sliders.
Don't wanna speed ties? Run speed control.
There's plenty of tools available.
If you are in a position where a single instance of RNG not going into your favor decides the game for you then you were in a bad position anyway.
Is it perfect? No. But it is what it is. Go play Temtem if you want a perfectly "fair" game.
>>
>>59362617
Mirror matches are as RNG as they should be. If there was a trick room vs a fast team you'd see more strategy into play

The most common rock slider is the fastest pokemon available in the game.

Yeah, a lot of stuff is bulk as a reaction to possible speed ties or using tech.
Except I guess chomp is still min max attack speed no bulk

>>59362356
>or is it only going to get worse from herE?
Considering that there won't be any buffs to the weaker Pokemon and that you should ALWAYS have negative expectations for all things Pokemon, yes.

Enjoy your Legion of Doom (so Incineroar, Urshifu, Rillaboom, Calyrex, Sneasler, Landorus, Amoongus, Mega Salamence, Flutter Mane, Miraidon, Mega Lucario, etc).
>>
>>59362631
>Don't like RNG? Just lose
>>
if you think about it, protect is also an rng mechanic because your opponent can just invalidate an entire turn you make if you decide to double into a protected pokemon
>>
>>59362757
Italians are fags.
>>
Any Gardevoir teams at NAIC?

Just dont play the game lol. Just play palworld or something else gayer.

He's one of many mutts pretending he's italian when he has never been, doesn't know the language or history.

im playing the twilight princess pc port mainly now.
I heard platinum also have a working pc port recently, so i might have a crack at that as well. The new regulation better be fuckin good.

please for the love of god, remove incin if they are gonna add the gorilla

Pokemon Champions is gay enough

champions is a dead game once palworld 1.0 comes out

Right at your alley then

>>59358064
gee if only game freak would balance the game better so that it WASN'T the winning strat for over a decade now
>>
>>59362899
Eh, two different games. It's not like I can play Palworld outside
>>
>>59362899
Does Palworld even have PvP?
>>
>>59362903
nah I stopped like two weeks ago, just watching this boring meta from afar
>>
I will be dropping Pocket when Champions hit mobile though. I'm no longer motivated for that game at all
>>
>>59362911
>going outside
Lol lmao
>>
>>59362930
i dropped pocket when i got literally nothing good in two months of playing. No holos, just one full art, nothing else relevant.
I also dont like the gameplay which to me is too coinflippy and unreactive. I dont mind linear tcgs like digimon, but i guess coming from master duel i was expecting a whole lot more.
>>
>>59362922
>Watching gay shit from afar
You are the gay and a cuck
>>
>>59362911
with a steam deck you could
>>59362917
in a very, very primitive and technical sense. it's 3 pals and you vs another guy's three pals in you and it's just knocking each other out in 1 flat arena
>>
also
>dude bro pokemon is all rng if you just don't like it don't play
>but also it's skill because you have to risk manage
i understand risk management is part of the game but the risks you have to manage are fucking gay and shouldn't be there
unironically everyone go play luckless play on DH2, it's the most fun you'll ever have
>>
>>59362950
>DH2
That game sucks
>>
>>59362940
>is too coinflippy
Fucking this too. I tried to make Mega Lopunny EX work and I never win the coinflip that it's frustrating to play
>>
Why does high roll and low roll from attacks even exist anyways? They already have the exact parameters of attack vs defense
>>
>>59360866
Tell that to every based drawanon on all of 4chan

I fucking hate every single one of them. I hope they all ack soon.

But enough about Pokemon Champions
>>
I will laugh my fucking ass off if they don't put in any new mons or items
>>
>>59362997
I know some companies are retarded enough for that, but definitely not TPC. The least they can give is probably 50 more pokemon to the roster
>>
>>59362973
Variance is more fun!
>>
>>59363005
i think that anon is referring to the possibility of freezing the meta just for phonefags, though since we literally just finished a slew of tournaments, fat chance of them doing that.
Still, it isnt a nonzero chance, but as you said I doubt even TPC is as retarded as that.
>>
>>59362997
It'd be funnier (and more plausible) if they added Raichu and the Raichunites and nothing else
>>
Covert cloak and clear amulet is ass anyways. Dont bring them back
>>

Fucking Disgusting kek

>>
>>59362973
Because Pokemon is a turn based RPG before it is a PVP.
>>
>>59363057
Oh so thats why it sucks
>>
>>59362973
Holdover from when Pokemon was effectively a single player JRPG. But also it's better that way because when attacks do all the same damage the game would become too deterministic and would be more boring.
>>
I'm curious if there's changes to move as well. People are conscious about pic-related kek
>>
>>59363075
>But also it's better that way because when attacks do all the same damage the game would become too deterministic and would be more boring.
words of the absolute buckbroken, the TCG has deterministic damage and yet people are still playing the hell out of that
>>
>>59363078
>buff accuracy, reduce flinch
honestly based.
Its a little promising, in seeing buffs/nerfs depending on usage in the previous regulations, but without the full scope of what will change, i wont hold my breath
>>
>>59363035
>fire/dark claws typed this post
>>
>>59363082
I played the TCG for a little while. It was boring specifically for that reason. In theory there should be variance because of card draw, but in practice you build a Greninja engine and pare down your deck of 60 card to like 20 cards by the end of turn two and then it's just a matter of following your flowchart. Now, obviously at a higher level it's more than that, but it's definitely a barrier to entry for some people. But again, everyone is different. I like games with more luck elements, others don't; we can both play games we find fun.
>>
Buff bug please. Can it resist do super effective against fairy at the very least
>>
>>59363137
Huge wishlists like that are more a new gen thing honestly. I dont see them doing anything radical like that, at least anytime soon. Maybe in the future with quirky one off formats.
And before anyone argues this anon on why this makes no sense, drop it. Steel used to also resist ghost before it was rolled back, so its all arbitrary. Ice should have more resistances too thematically, but here we are.
>>
>>59363056

I just don’t get why the customization is so shitty. I’d legitimately pay money for more outfits/skins/music. This third battle pass is probably gonna suck and the shop is barren.
>>
>>59363246
I REALLY would love the ability to randomize a setlist of battle music or turn off a few tracks but keep the rest random.
>>
>>59363148
Ice should absolutely resist water.
>>
>>59363078
This doesn't really nerf it, it just makes it more infuriating when it does actually flinch you.
>>
MB bros... i dont feel so good... I don't think we're getting much...

Pffffthahahahahaaa oh no no no

>>59363521
They aren't going to announce new Pokemon in corocoro. Those distributions are just to get japanese kids to download the game.
>>
Americucks can't even win their own nationals. I guess this better than letting some uppity latinx win at least.
>>
>>59361483
no way

I'm gonna be at work. Someone else will have to make the next thread if this one gets bumped off in the next 9 or so hours.
