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. E-Floette requires a ZA transfer.

Thinking of picking this up as a mobile timewaster, how long does it take to build an actual team if you don't have Home?
>>
>>59370598
Oh, I see. I assume you click the images and it'll link you to the X account they posted it from, in which they'll usually list out the moves/builds of the mons there. Otherwise, just using the individual Pokemon gives you most of the information you need. The site you got that image from seems to be a second-party website rather than part of the main one.

Varies by your luck but i was already on a metaslave team by day 4-5 and sweeping my way into ultra ball with the starter team. Cycled through 3 meta teams before I touched home (Kitt wouldn't give me a Sinistcha for weeks).

Picking Pikachu at the start will give you a team of 4 meta pokemon to start with. Though some prefer T-tar so it's up to you, and yes, it's totally plausible to get to MB with just Ranch pulls

If you guys are actually considering self target Mega Staraptor the best option is Whimsicott Charm and nothing else really comes close.

Currently running Mega Staraptor, Houndstone, Meowscarada, Luxray, Hawlucha and Empoleon. I normally run Empoleon, Weavile, Garganacl, Meowscarada, Hawlucha and Mega Houndoom but I wanted to give the newly added Pokémon a try

Game is running fine on my iPhone 13 but it’s still better on Switch. Though the friend who lent it to me is coming back from overseas soon so I won’t be using that much longer.

>>59370611
Maybe it’s just me but the luck part is fucking ridiculous. The only time I saw a Kingambit was on the same day a shiny Garganacl was in my pool (took Garg because friend never got SV and I wasn’t wasting money on it). At this point I’m considering asking an anon here if they could evolve one of my Bisharps but I haven’t built a team where it’s been needed yet.

Look, the thing with Doubles is that you can be double-teamed at anytime. You cannot say the same for a one-on-one scenario
>>
>>59370748
Have you ever tried doubles? Personally my eyes were opened once I learned doubles. Everything just makes so much more sense from Tailwind/Trick Room to calling protects. Sure Rockslide fliches are cringe but that's mostly just a meta thing right now.
>>
>>59370629

Not sure, since i dont think people actually reroll in this game.
Granted, most of us are Home users so all mons are just a few transfers away. For Champions only, surely you can mitigate this problem by actually using the tickets they give you

You get unlimited VP from grinding, so there is really no point trying to re-roll in this game

I dont like the mimikyu in the team, i feel like charizard teams could just eat this team alive
>>
>>59370870
Bad nature on Staraptor. Ditch Mimikyu as soon as possible. Make Arcanine into a physical attacker or focus entirely on using it as a bulky pivot with Will-O. Having two Tailwind users is a bit redundant as well.
>>
>>59370870
Probably Roost over Blaze Kick for Staraptor so you can recoup some HP for those buffs to matter.
>>
>>59370870
Either drop Blaze Kick for Roost on Staraptor or run Sinistcha because Staraptor needs healing. Drop Encore or Protect on Whimsicott for Charm. You can charm your own Staraptor for +2 attack or catch a physical threat off guard.
>>
>staraptor gets contrary
>pidgeot gets turned into a special attacker for some reason
Really isnt fair at all. Who the fuck thought to give that piece of shit bird close combat

Needs a nerf NOW

I really don't think it's that strong. I would be fucking shocked if it even had a 10% pick rate at this worlds.

>chadvillian is still owning

>>
>>59370804
what is the best way to get vp and skip tickets?
>>
>>59370884
I was thinking more of a bulky support, but playing a few games, I've seen that I have too many supports, as I basically fold as soon as Staraptor/D-mite faint (initially had U-turn, but swapped to Blaze Kick as I thought I really didn't have too many good switch ins, and not realizing how redundant the move is). F2Poor/just started, so I was thinking about trading Sylveon for Azumarill once I get it, and probably trade D-nite for another mega that can actually fight threats Staraptor can't handle (not too sure how good to two Raichus are).
>>
>>59370936
As long as majority of the pokemon used are physical, that jalapeno will have a use somewhere

So is there a secret to running Mega Dragalge, or does it just largely suck ass? Because out of everything in this new batch, it's pretty much the only thing I'm interested in running at the moment, because I like Dragalge mainly, but trying to use it online against the army of Basculegion and Archaludon is still just as miserable as when it wasn't in the game, even moreso now since they both resist one of its key STABs.
>>
>>59370888
What nature should I swap too?
>>
I just critically hit an Archaludon and won. Finally some justice after missing all those Stone Axes.

I guess it's time to drop Kleavor, though.
>>
>>59370947
Just do your dailies and play the game. You get like two extra rolls a day just by doing them. I literally have a 1000+ saved up because you just stop needing to roll after a point.

>>59370980
Jolly for maximum speed. Base 110 is a good speed tier to be at and ensures you're not outrun by positive nature base 100's and Garchomp.
>>
>>59370932
>>59370932
>hasnt played Singles
After 1 CC its a tough fucker, but after 2 CCs it becomes unkillable even from a Zap Cannon Raichu Y Its fucking cancer incarnate. Literal 3 button presses on a bulky spread with roost and your practically invincible nevermind the myriad of Moves used against it like Moonblast that will power it up. Just saw some dumb Grimmsnarl player use Parting Shot on it, people have no idea whats coming.

Too early to tell.
Scovillain for example saw basically no use until wolfey figured it out. Glim was more popular once cybertron did, and so on and so on.
You could wait for someone to wait it out, or try some sets until it just clicks.
>>59370947
Just play your dailies.
That is why we advocate so highly on getting Home and just getting a good team immediately, so that you dont have to blast all your VP to roll and get that sneasler. If you just transfer it over, you can do your free daily rolls until you just get lucky on the farm

>You could wait for someone to wait it out, or try some sets until it just clicks.
I've been running a heavily defensive set with Sludge Wave, Shadow Ball, Draco Meteor, and Flip Turn so far, I want to say it's okay, but the fact is I still eat shit to the usual rain team pricks and CharYzard, the latter mostly cause it runs Solar Beam and eats my supporting Milotic and Rhyperior for lunch.

I just shut my game down for bed and chugged some NyQuil for a cold, but without nabbing a photo, so far I'm rolling:
>>Dragalge - Pois Point - Mega
>S Wave
>S Ball
>D Meteor
>F Turn
>>Oranguru - Telep. - Col. Berry
>T Room
>Instruct
>Protect
>Psych.
>>Milotic - Comp. - Leftov.
>Surf
>I Beam
>L Dew
>D Cheer
>>Rhyperior - Solid Rock - W. Herb
>E.quake
>R Slide
>I Punch
>Protect
>>Sinistcha - Hosp. - Sit. Berry
>L Dew
>T Room
>M Gotcha
>R Powder
>>Grimmsnarl - Prankster - L Clay
>Reflect
>L Screen
>P Shot
>S Break

I was gonna run Dragon Tail on Dragalge to deal with Staraptor, but I'd have left myself open to Psychics, and as it turns out, Milotic just seriously rapes a Close Combat-buffed Megaraptor in the face off a Comp-boosted Ice Beam just fine. Granted, it never took the CC, Oranguru did, I have no clue whether a Charm-buffed CC would just instantly kill Milotic or not.

>>59371317
Actually It's a lot of situations, the intimidate + whatever screen I have up plus another strength sap has been crucial to finishing off end game fights that would have otherwise be unwinnable

I kinda wanted to make a Mega Mawile/Tinkaton team but I realize running both makes me weak to common pokemon like Garchomp and Charizard Y. I can counter Charizard with Ttar. Any other pokemon I should run?
>>
>>59371322
No nigga. I guarantee you would be getting more use out of the moves I suggested. You already have screens and intimidate you are basically doing fucking nothing with that move. There are better ways to heal and better ways to lower an enemies attack. Strength Sap is a meme ass move.
>>
>>59371323
Are you making a TR team or Tailwind? You really need some speed control and very little deals with both the mons you mentioned.

Just remembered Power Trip exists and am now wondering why Malamar doesn't get it

Imagine spending a whole ass action to lower an enemies attack by 1 stage instead of just switching in an intimidate mon or fucking burning them.

>>59371508
Earth Power is a good starting point but it really needs stronger special moves in general. An anon in the previous thread said it should it should have gotten something like Discharge given its ability is Lightning Rod, but it being a special dragon attacker without access to a +100 BP Dragon move really holds back how much damage it can do. Very much the embodiment of glass cannon but without the cannon part.

The trick with Mega Sceptile is to proc lightning rod with your scarfed partner mon's discharge. Allows you to remove a threat in short order at +1.
It's not a a great gimmick, but it does do something. Even prankster Twave is a good idea somewhere on the team.

>>59371334
I figured as long as Mawile can tank one EQ then it can probably one shot garchomp with play rough. Similarly if they can both tank a heat wave from Charizard Y Mawile can clean up with rock slide or Stone edge. The big issues are the investment in bulk and the fact that none of mawile's moves are all that accurate meaning I'm liable to to waste my turn with it. I could run bulky trickroom slowbro just in case and give the team sort of a trick room pivot if I feel the competition is too fast.
(Tink actually has base 94 speed so it's not all that good within TR outside of these contexts)
>>
>>59371579
Mawile is never surviving a heat wave.

What would save it? Close combat and power trip?

>>59371588

Neither Tink or Mawile is going to survive Heat Wave. You need a dedicated check for Zard. Consider something like Aero or even T-Tar.

Tinkaton is also just horrible. Did some calcs.
With Careful nature 32HP and 32SpDef it was surviving my Zard's heatwave guaranteed, but it was also only capable of doing 48% high roll to my Zard with Rock Slide.
Imagine using a 4x effective move, but it does under half.
>>
>>59371610
Tinkaton is for Fake Out that bypasses Armor Tail, good typing, and clicking Gigaton Hammer every other turn. Your best bet for coverage is either Play Rough or Ice Hammer and I usually err to PR most of the time.
>>
>>59371613
Basically this. I've been using tinkaton on ladder and it's honestly a great pokemon outside of a handful of common checks just for how much longevity it has and how threatening Gigaton Hammer can be. Sorta why I wanted to pair it with Mega Mawile, a pokemon with similar typing but the actual power to hit hard.
But to be fair I don't actually think this is a smart strategy. I just like the typing and wanted to pair them up to see if I could wall out certain strategies. (The issue being several of their best counters are meta staples at this point.)

Thinking of running Zheng Sableye/Arch team again, though this time with M-Swampert. I actually managed to think about it before I saw that people caught onto the fact that it's a good core, so I just gotta figure out a proper team. So far I'm thinking
>light clay sableye with screens and rain dance
>arch as a primary lead
>m-swamp as my other physical threat, another good lead if they have sneasler
>pelipper for weather teams or mons like m-venu
So now just figuring out the last two. I feel like M-Dragonite or M-Venusaur are good options for a second mega that'd pair nicely with Rain, though not sure what to do for the sixth. Basc maybe, but might be kind of the same role as M-Swampert

Both are lightning fast. Simple choices.

Can still outspeed Mega Sceptile with Choice Scarf, plus Overheat for threats like Metagross.
>Sableye
Prankster priority Thunder Wave to trigger Lightning Rod, plus can use Swagger on the ever-popular Staraptor.
>BBolt
Cannot outspeed Mega Sceptile, but can use Soak to turn other Pokemon into Water-types, which Mega Sceptile can annihilate.

For the moveset I am thinking Leaf Storm, Earth Power, Vacuum Wave, Protect. May swap VW for Dragon Pulse just for STAB.
Also why does everyone suggest Discharge and not Thunderbolt or any other Electric-type move that could proc Lightning Rod?

I think its like Adaptability is 1.33x while Fire's mane is 1.5x.

You're going to want to build around the idea of him just one shotting everything, like Mega Charizard but faster. You can probably run them similarly too. Whimsicott but with Sunny Day, Tailwind if they tailwind. Farigiraf for fake out blocking + helping hand. Ninetails for auto sun + hypnosis, probably not Torkoal. Then whatever coverage partner
>>
>>59372168
Adaptability is also 1.5, so Pyroar's is slightly worse since it only boosts fire and not normal.
>>
>>59371559
Honestly even if he kept final gambit, I'm not sure he'd be appreciably better than Staraptor running the same set. He gets a bit more HP, but there aren't a lot of ultra-high-HP threats that really care that much about the difference from max HP investment between ape and staraptor, Staraptor being 10 points faster at base matters a lot, and crucially in a closed sheet format Staraptor is something that you're quite likely to be running as a mega so you always have the surprise factor when it scarf gambits. Ape's only really doing one thing unless it's out next to a mon setting up rage fist.

The only advantage ape has is one additional immunity which makes switching in while still at full HP a bit better, and I guess raptor's weakness to rock makes it marginally scarier to keep in the back. Still, I'm finding Staraptor to be a really competent scarf gambit piece, so much so that I'm not sure I'd run annihilape for the job even if he was available.

Nah, adaptability turns STAB from 1.5 to 2, fire mane stacks two 1.5

imagine an 80 BP move
STAB would make it 120
adaptability would make it 160
STAB + fire mane would make it 180

So fire mane is marginally stronger.

vanilluxe sees milage because it's a snow setter with aurora veil and it's stronger than a!ninetales but there are probably better ways to deal with water types than using a move slot on freeze dry

There's a huge gulf between winning and having fun. Using some pre-cooked meta team is one step above just watching someone else play the game on Twitch. And no, I don't believe you came up with anything about this team yourself.

No, i mean Skill Swap doesn't work on Gholdengo.

>>59372211
he posted team more on the creative side than meta. also the game is fun to play even with the teams you call "pre cooked" because there is a lot of decision making involved when you are facing even decent players

wait until this meta is solved a bit and people start complaining about shit like the cybertron arch team.
If enough people are bitching about it, then it must be good.
And right now the big bad boogeyman is Staraptor, the highest ranking staraptor team on limitless is this one

If you delete the app you can reroll all your shit and start by creating a new acc, on mobile. Just so you know.

I chose a bad starter and blew through my VP without realizing what I was doing because I am retarded. Running it back by pickling garchomp and going for a trick room team probably.

>I have all the pokemon game releases - does it share among them all?
Yeah, from Home you can directly transfer any pokemon in your mainline boxes into the Home boxes. A pikachu from LGPE can move to SwSH, SV, BDSP and PLZA, assuming it doesnt have any moves that isnt acceptable.
>My champions acc on mobile is linked to my apple acc vs nintendo does that still work?
That one im not too sure, since the linking is somewhat different. Its a bit hard to explain, but i think Pokemon Champions dont actually link with your Pokemon account, it is its own account. Basically i dont think its an issue

like 5 straight matches of mega staraptor grimmsnarl leads. this meta is gonna be brutal.

got it working, ty, thought this cost money, wow. i forgot i started a new scarlet playthrough and essentially trashed all my competitive mons from it, dammit

Mega Malamar unironically counters Staraptor + Grimmsnarl.

>>59372432
by making them feel bad for beating up such a shitter?
>>
>>59372435
Malamar:
- is immune to Prankster
- gets an Attack boost from Staraptor's Intimidate
- Spirit Break raises its Special Attack
- 2HKOs unboosted Staraptor with Psycho Cutter
- Psycho Cutter high crit rate can undermine Staraptor's Close Combat boosts

Bro he’s just gonna close combat you

Using Skill Swap as a debuff/trap?
>>
>>59372438
Close Combat will also 2HKO unfortunately, so unless Malamar can get a crit with the first Psycho Cut it'll just get outsped and killed. Yeah you can rely on your partner to get the last bit of damage in but I wouldn't really consider that to be a counter
>>

I see the vision, name yourself some shit like リユキ and run the most random mons and collect free points from people with their guard down assuming you're a bot

Looks alright, but Elek or Gross should probably be one of your off-megas.

Newfag here, been following the guide and I'm slowly learning. I want to make a team around annihilape because he looks fucking cool. Any advice would be appreciated since I barely know what I'm doing.
>>
>>59372548
Too many megas. Drop Aggron. T-Tar too, probably, since nothing on your team really benefits from sand. Ape isn't that great in doubles at a baseline since they took Final Gambit from it, but you could probably use it well enough as an Intimidate check with Defiant.

You can still do beat up memes with Maushold.

I'm honestly just impressed.
Cosmetics and customization are by far and wide one of the biggest money-makers for f2p kusoge. It literally prints money. People become utterly obsessed with it.
And somehow these retards are neglecting that.
Only TPC can somehow manage to fuck up fucking cosmetics.

As someone who's never touched anything Switch, only emulated, and is now only touching Champions out of curiosity because it's on mobile and to try to make a cute player character (good lord, the options are so fucking trash) I'm surprised at how cumbersome is linking things to Home and how Home also apparently requires being connected to a Nintendo account instead of Home being a single individual thing. Does it all really need to be triple layered account linking like that? It feels needlessly overcomplicated.
>>
>>59372625
Give it scope lens and teach it all the low accuracy crit boosted coverage moves.

Cross Poison
Cross Chop
Stone Edge
And then coverage like Ice Punch or Bullet Punch.

>>59372695
It really depends on what mons you find yourself having the most trouble with. Evergreen stuff like Corvi, Milotic, Rotom-W are usually safe picks.
Mega Lopunny is usually used most similarly to Sneaseler. It's Fake Out support on a very fast body that hits hard.

Because you can set off Lightning Rod while also doing damage to the other side.

>>
>>59372747
30 box slots, and 30 recruitment tickets.

>>59372753
I got the numbers off of Serebii, so if I'm wrong then he's wrong.

My bad, it is 50 slots, I forgot by default you start with a measly 30. I'm right about the tickets though.
>>
>>59371250
Finally found out how to get past error 10000.
Once you get the error, start a guest account. Somehow that fixes everything and the guest account will just magically become a proper account.

I would consider this a PSA, but as far as I can tell, I'm only one of 3 people on the planet who have had to deal with this, so odds are no one here will ever ask about it again.
>>
>>59372574
Still thinking how fucked out this is. He does EVERYTHING

>>59372747
and the box stuff is permanent or its like a battlepass thingy?

So what's the difference between creating an account with a guest account, with a gmail account and with a nintendo account?

>>59372782
nintendo account will let you import mons from services linked to that account, like pokehome.

they really need to add custom rulesets to the game already. it's a joke that we have a ruleset selection in private lobbies, but with one option for both doubles and singles.

false, you can spectate private lobby games. that's how they broadcast events from champions now, and just yesterday my friend was spectating me and another friend while we played doubles against each other.

If you have a spare switch you can start a new file on that to host rooms and spectate the matches. Good if you want to play with friends in person and have the match on the TV.
