Fraudganium lmao
how did i do senpai?
>>59385506very based, well done
>>59385500i feel like meganium should have good matchups all round now, even with the bird. What gives?
How do they nerf whimsicott
>>59385565birdfingerfire
i wonder how theyll ever add NFEs, since that will coincide with eviolite.Will it be a seperate banner with just non evolveds and nothing else? Sprinkle it bit by bit, keeping things like murkrow or pory2 out?
Do you guys do both doubles and singles or only do the one you like more?
>>59385583i do doubles, and wait for the season to end to grind singles.I care very little about bss
>>59385583I like to do both
I was trying to slap together a team before bed but my brain is frying because of so much stuff I have to think about as a newfag. I decided to grab random good stuff and typhlosion and I'll run with this until I hit a brick wall and then see what everyone else is using.
>>59385601looks good>Lead whimsicott typhlosion>sunny day plus eruption>anyone who isnt dead have to deal with the two other killers in the back under tailwind
>>59385583Focus on one format then do the other format
>>59385583I reached masterball in singles last regulation and it confirmed that I don't like singles so I won't play it again.
>>59384734Sorry, I went to sleep.It looks like some JP player actually ended up sniping the listing and sending me his Overqwil.I could put up a new trade if you still want me to take that one off your hands, but given how cheap training is, it's not a huge deal. You could also just keep it to send to another anon who wants one.
Will they ever add 6v6?
>>59385556I don't use meganium but I'm sure dropping 3 commonly used offensive steels in meatgross, vorewhile, and goldenho didn't help
>>59385583if somehow made singles sets separate and not an adverse investment I'd give it a try, but they're fucking faggots who suck at game design
>>59385647unsure, but the general consensus here is 'probably not' for one reason; stall exists and some people out there are simply degenerates.>>59385650mega sol weather ball exists to handle steel types, and 80 base speed is workable. idk, i guess so much charizard is still around that it isnt worth it.
>>59385654>stall exists and some people out there are simply degeneratesYou're already going to be sitting there forever with just 3 stallmons, I don't know if facing 6 stallmons would be significantly worse.
>>59385654gholdengo is faster and often runs scarf, mawile is a trick room demon and metagross doesn't care cause bullet punch, so I feel like it has its work cut out to actually hit first
I haveTailwindWorry SeedMoonblastEncoreOn my Whimsicott. I kind of want to get taunt, but I don't know what to replace. I only just started using worry seed but it's really useful.
Any singles team I can copy before the event starts? I don't want to wait for the jewtubers.
>>59385655Stall is severely crippled by not being able to have access to its full gamut of switch-ins. Combined with all the stall nerfs, "Stall" in BSS looks like what people actually imagine it (inflict damage over time and spam self heals) rather than constant swapping to resists and regenerator spam to drain PP and willpower in equal measure.Also hazards. Not nearly as common in BSS, so that means carrying hazard clear is throwing, which means once they go up they stay up. Very bad for attempting true stall.

>>59385702maybe 8 years from now at the dripfeed rate we're getting stuff

Does Tatora have Down Syndrome or something?Why does she look like that?
>>59385713Mega Flygon was pase half a decade ago. Real flygon fans want G-max Flygon in Legends Galar.
Remember haxorus
>>59385700>"Stall" in BSS looks like what people actually imagine it (inflict damage over time and spam self heals) rather than constant swapping to resists and regenerator spam to drain PP and willpower in equal measureWhat about pic related?
>>59385723>dies in 1 hit to scope lens MachampIt's an attempt
>>59385728I haven't even seen any Machamps in Singles yet.
>>59385730People in general arent very good at BSS so im not surprised.
>>59385702It's going to be pretty fun once we get a huge variety of costumes. Right now the under armor thing is pretty embarassing.
I wish they added more game modesTriples would be fun
>>59385777Impressive

Trying to cobble together a team, assuming I have two matchup specific mons in the back, should my main 4 consist of 2 damage dealers and 2 supports, or can I run 3 damage and 1 support?
>>59385868it depends on the pokemon making up the team, this isn't math
>>59385812Cry about it. Fairy supremacy. And if they add a new type in gen10 to counter fairy, I will cry about it too
>>59385868it isnt a specific science. Besides 'support' is a flexible term. It all depends on your mons and what kind of team.
Yep, pelliper is officially my least favorite pokemon, yep, I will still recruit on sight
What's the easiest team to play as a new player?
>>59385904Easiest to just get and pilot right away? The starter team plus Raichu that I keep posting.Easiest team to use and understand? Probably rain team, featuring Swampert that is running around. You just click super effective damage and just win the weather wars
>>59385904hard trick room, but you'll get stonewalled on the ladder, so use rain instead.
>>59385696Taunt is fucking useless bro, just stick with what you got. Only thing you may want to consider is swapping Moonblast with Giga Drain if you're having issues with Swampert, but there's other ways to manage him.
>>59385904if you want to make people seethe use Sinistcha and Grimmsnarl together
New Mega Malamar stats:86/102/88/98/100/108Better?
Kinda wild they made Mega Scovillain actually somewhat viable as a burn-inducing redirector and then immediately put it out of a job by adding Volcarona
>>59385950Volcarona has been in the game since day 1.Scovillain has a lot of results and Volcarona has 0. I'll let you figure that one out.
Is there like a gambler/critical focused pokemon team? I want to embrace RNG
>>59385976>gamblerAcupressure Overqwil or Tsareena.
>>59385976Kings Rock Pop Bomb maushold is the only one i can think of.Dragon cheer is just guaranteed crits, so its not really 'gambling' if you know for a fact you are hitting it
>>59385976>gamblerTeams with rock slide
>>59385958>I'll let you figure that one out.
>>59385500But....but...its a shillmon
>>59385702Lol never
The vision is working.
>>59385714Shes just ugly
>>59385777Small Indie Company please Understand
>>59385458What are the guidelines when it comes to building a BSS team? Most guides I have seen are more about either Smogon Singles or Doubles
>>59386028*crits you*
>>59385985I was going to say this. Rock slide + rock slide, you roll for miss and roll for flinch 4 times in a turn.
>>59386041yes
>>59386042His time is coming...
>>59385958>Volcarona has been in the game since day 1.Doesnt invalidate what i said in the slightest.>Scovillain has a lot of results and Volcarona has 0. I'll let you figure that one out.New toy syndrome is a hell of a drug
>>59386018>say something retarded>fedora posts instead of spending 2m using googleo i am laffin
>>59386049campaignshitter moment
>>59386051Sorry, meant for >>59385958
>>59386049That's not new toy syndrome. Volcarona is not good in this format, what's different now is that it doesn't have access to tera and there are powerful rock type moves everywhere. Volcarona isn't some secret sauce everyone is sleeping on. Much like Meganium suffers because of Floette, Volcarona suffers because of Zard Y.
>>59386051Post your Volcarona team.
Mega Meganium is shit because it is just a ZardY with a weaker Weather Ball, a weaker spread attack, an awful defensive typing, worse stats, and a stronger Solarbeam. ZardY is usually on a team with Floette and Whimsicott so you aren't missing out on fairy type damage.Mega Venusaur is a much better tanky grass type into this meta especially on a rain team.
>>59386055>That's not new toy syndromeM-Scovillain being used most certainly is NTS but the rest of the post is valid
>>59386055>Volcarona isn't some secret sauce everyone is sleeping on.That would be Harcanine, the knower's pokemon. On all kinds of top teams and has a higher win% on pikalytics than fucking Kingambit.
>>59386059Scovillain has a carved out niche as the second mega on Froslass teams. This format has so many powerful physical attackers that don't want to be burned that it was guaranteed to have use. It took 5th and 6th in Turin, 8th at Indy, 8th at NAIC. The Pepper is good, real good.
The highest winrates on pikalytics are, from lowest to highest, Typhlosion with 61%, Lycanroc-Dusk with 63%, Musharna with 66.6%, and in #1 Vileplume with a whopping 68% winrate.Special shoutout to both forms of Avalugg, Watchog, and Qwilfish for having no data. As for lowest winrate... well...
Aw damn i forgot to put 5th place, Flareon with 60% even
>>59386087Is that regular Typhlosion?What you're seeing is an artifact of their low sample size, but Lycanroc Dusk is for real.
>>59386087
>>59386049>>59386059I don't think you understand what new toy syndrome means, 2 months into the game is way past the point of things being used because they're new, especially in tournaments.
>>59386057Why would I have a Volcarona teamWhen Volcarona is dogshit?>>59386053No, that would be the retard who somehow thinks a 30% chance to burn on contact moves only is somehow the same as a 100% chance to burn on any damaging move period
>>59386087Jamie now pull up the Master rank only winrate
We need a story mode and an arcade dungeon crawler mode like dynamax caverns or battle frontier
>>59386154Is there potential for an app or mac os hacked port of Champians with custom game modes?
Cant get my shiny whimsicott from Go over to champions, anyone know why that may be?
>>59386154pokemon literally doesn't understand their own game well enough to make engaging non pvp content
>>59386154>>59386173There’s just no money in any of that. Even a random battle mode would cannibalize their pay to play “recruit” mechanic
>>59386164Is it giving you a particular message when it rejects you?
>>59386122Actual campaignshitter moment if you think that's what's wrong with volcarona
>>59386021More like a shitmon KEKAROOO
>>59386176Just says there are no pokemon visiting from home. Which is weird because I just loaded my box with several from sword and shield and Go
>>59386176Is it because its moves arent compatible with champions? Its from GO so im not sure
>>59386154Dynamax adventures is a living hell and it's arguably not worth engaging with even if you're shiny hunting.
>>59386182Does Home say that Whimsicott is currently in Champions?But it's not showing up in the "Collect from Pokemon HOME" menu on the recruitment screen?
>>59386191You can transfer pokemon that have illegal moves, they'll just have a red mark on them and you can't put them on a team until you train them with different moves in Champions.
>>59386194>>59386195This is what it shows.Im quite confused because several of these mon should be available in champions right? I just want whimsicott for now but nothing shows at all in champions. I just transferred floette this morning after finishing z-a grind no problem too.
I hate that little brat Whimsicott so much
>those shitters who aggressively insisted Pyroar can't be goodScovillain 2.0
>Raichu X has a fraction of the usage of YDamn, no paradoxes really hurts it huh?
>>59386256When real money is on the line and 900 players enter, they bring Zard.One tourney doesn't make Pyroar good in much the same way that Steelix isn't good.
How long until prankster thunder wave is legal
>>59386266>not a single Swampertt, Metagross or StaraptorThese are literally just M-A teams because the format was so early that no one wanted to risk using new stuff
Incineroar is tough to face, especially if he has backup by other guys like sinischa, do you have any tips to keep him in check besides exploiting his weaknesses?>>59386230bro just use a poison move
I think they should unnerf Explosion back to how it was pre-Gen 5 haha no reason in particular
I think Mega Tyranitar should've been Rock Dragon
>>59386287Here's a similarly sized tourney, the Pyroar tourney you posted was day 1 of M-B and called "The Kickoff" so it had an unnatural amount of entrants using the new megas. The Swampert team is good, just Arch Rain from last season but with a good mega.Online tournaments are often like reading tea leaves unless there's money on the line.
>>59386215>Im quite confused because several of these mon should be available in champions right?No, only Floette is.You see the little badge on the right side of Floette's icon, and how she's greyed out? That means she is currently visiting Champions.None of the other pokemon in that box are currently visiting Champions.You have to hit the "Send for a Visit" button in the options menu and select the other pokemon that you also want to send to Champions.I'm confused how you don't know this, considering you must have done the process once already in order to send Floette to Champions.
Just started, not sure who to pick from the starting lineup between Lucario, Tyranitar, and Charizard. I assume it's the same lineup for everyone, but is Charizard and TTar easy to get if I pass on it now? Lucario is my fav so I might pick him.
Who should I pick?I already have heliolisk and mawile.Aggron and typhlsion look tempting. Also apparently looking online if im only playing on mobile there is no way for me to buy the once of 50 extra box space? I got 5 extra from great ball rank. Is it another 5 for ultra. Then 5 for master ball(which is never gonna happen for me)
>>59385606>>59385793Yeah it's been going well but I'm down in the pokeball ranks so it probably doesn't mean much.
>>59386264There are no good electric types to take advantage of it's electric terrain. The best electric type is a Levitate mon so it doesn't get the benefits from terrains. Coil Hypnosis Milotic and Sleep Powder Vivillon/Venusaur all fell off so sleep isn't a big threat right now. Surge Surfer is only available on it's Alolan form and Quark Drive isn't in the game. For pure offense with only FO support it doesn't hit as hard as you'd hope to justify the mega slot.Problem is when Paradox pokemon are eventually added it will very likely be a legendary pokemon meta. I just don't see RaichuX performing well with legendary pokemon around and the future paradox pokemon aren't really so powerful to make it worth it.
>>59386313It's a gamble on every line up. You just have to get lucky. They're all equally as easy to get technically
>>59386313If you don't have any other pokemon game including pokemon go to trade to Home to get to Champions it's all RNG
>>59386315get espeon and give it magic coat, you can have fun reflecting ailments fridge rotom can also be cool (haha) dealing with dragons
>>59386266this tournament wasn't played on Champions, might as well not count. showdown is most likely unable to correctly replicate every mechanic, just like they kept a wrong crit chance for months in SV
>>59386320>>59386325I don't have Home, and I quit GO a couple months after it came out. I think I lost the Nintendo account that had my PokeBank Pokemon years ago too, so that's pretty much it for me. So should I just go for Lucario? Both he and Charizard (Y) are my usual team staples, but I like Lucario more.
I wish I could use more than a single variant of rotom in the same team
>>59386334cope
>>59386341about what exactly
>>59386336>I think I lost the Nintendo account that had my PokeBank Pokemon years ago tooIf you still have any of the old games, you might be able to link Pokemon Bank to a new Nintendo account or something and transfer pokemon from the games that way.
>>59386308It's still seeing some success in more recent tournaments, this one had 128 entrants.
>>59386346>b-but incorrectly replicated mechanics is why my cat lost!
>send Conkeldurr out against Archaludon>I know the opponent has a Basculegion>anticipate that he will predict the Fighting attack and swap to his ghost-type>prepare a Thunder Punch>he doesn't swap, Thunder Punch does nothing to Archaludon, and I die to Draco MeteorDid he 7D chess me and predict my prediction, or did he just out-stupid me by leaving his slow steel-type in against a max-attack fighting type?

Total Pelipper Death
Anybody up for doubles? I don't want to stress about losing points on the ladder66925555Bring strong teams or at least not total memes I want to test mine
>>59386373>his slow steel-typeNot anywhere as slow as Conkeldurr.
>>59386392He had no speed investment though, I still outsped him.
>7 win streak>one game away from masterball>fucking luckshitter crits 2 times which made me losefucking skillless rng game
>>59386397You're playing a jolly Conk with full speed invest?
>>59386404Yep.
>>59385458Fucking hate this faggot. All screens, priority and much better u-turn, prankster. Its fcking aids
>>59386406And why would you expect anyone to feel threatened by that? Of course he'd play like he's going to hit first, or take a Mach Punch at worst.
>>59386387I see so many rain teams. The zap cannon archaludon is a bitch
I'm playing against bots with Japanese names in Pokeball 4, right? I'm not crushing some little Japanese kid's dreams?
>>59386415Yeah, I think the very first match you play on a new account is against a bot and after that you get a bot whenever you lose against a real person.
>>59386408Bro your Mega Metagross?
I've been playing singles since the game released on mobile and it has been a lot of fun. Every time i think about going into doubles i feel overwhelmed with how much I will have to learn to understand how to play there
Do you get rank rewards for both modes or just from your highest rank?
>>59386431Both. As long as by rewards you just mean VPs and not the storage extensions.
you cannot tell me this game isnt rigged, every season i get 1 win away from masters and from then its a lose/win repeat for 20 games
>rage powderfuck you
>>59386440Ultra ball 1 is harder than masters rank I swear. My opponent had to misplay for me to rank up
Be honest,>if Champs had multi-battle (2v2 with 4 trainers) would you form duos and play ranked?
>>59386373>have mega chesnaught>spiky shield his incin's fake out 2 times>he has 2% left>surly he wont do it a 3rd fucking time so i use a different move on the other pokemon>he used fakout on on the chesnaught
>>59386488I'd install the game on my old Switch to pair up with myself.
>>59386488There'd be at least one griefing nigger whose sole purpose is to go around public games and attack his own team mate or Heal Pulse the opponent
>pokemon is advertising on Grindr.Is everyone here gay or something?Would you have sex with Incineroar?
>>59386415Check if there's a space at the end of the name. Little kids autocomplete which leaves a space ad the end so if it looks like>You are challenged by Chingdong !You are in fact crushing a japanese child.
>>59386496>using dating appshow ugly are you?

>vivillon sleep powders my entire team and nobody wakes up the entire matchwhat's the chance to even wake up from sleep did I just get extremely unlucky
is the matchmaking for grinding elo better now before higher master ball tiers are unlocked or does it not matter, debating if i want to try and grind high enough for champion tier before it unlocks tonight, assuming my matchmaking odds would be better. idk if it'd matter or not though because of the ladder system even if other ranks are locked

>>59386565jfc wtf is this thread?
Bruh
>>59386569this is just an average day on /vp/
>>59386566You have to actually lose out on an action for it to count as a turn, a pokemon that is swapped out or just swapped in won't be progressing towards waking up.
>>59386553I know. >>59386555First bf I had in high school was fat, made me realize I had a type. Not particularly a fetish. >>59386565Only into uncut sorry bro.
>>59386424doubles is fun once you get into the groove but be warned, it makes you retarded at singles for a while
I downloaded pokego and I forgot how fugly they made the characters a few years back
Suggestions on this team? Moves are pretty standard for what you'd expect (screens and rain sableye with will-o-wisp, ice punch on Swamp, nothing super crazy). I'm mainly wondering if I should swap off M-Venusaur for something. I've heard M-Metagross and M-Staraptor as options, I'm just not sure how they'd synergize with the team or when I'd be better off using them as a lead versus my standard Sableye + Arch or Peli + Pert leads. Will also take suggestions for EV spreads if its not optimal.
>>59386645Also for context, M-Venusaur exists to cover for Grass threats that might put a lot of pressure on Swampert or teams it might not synergize well into, but I feel like it hasn't gotten much value in the few times I bring it out. Dies a lot to Peli.
>opponent leads staraptor/farig against my sableye + arch>they final gambit into arch, it lives on 7-9 hp (i forget)>farig trick rooms, mawile comes out>my stupid ass forgot about armor tail and hit will-o-wisp into the mawile, having reflect up so wanting to nerf it more>the opponent actually swaps the farig out into torkoal>will-o-wisp lands, swap arch into peli>they forfeitthey probably thought i did a 4d chess prediction but i was just retarded and got extremely lucky
>>59386645>most common meta team on the ladder right now
425733878208Add me for casual fights, I have only played singles but im open to doubles. Either way I will most likely have my anus gaped.
>>59386657I'm not pretending to be special or anything anon, I used Sableye + Arch last regulation because Sableye is one of my favorites and its a good way to use it. I just wanted to know what I could swap Venusaur off for to make the team stronger.
>>59386663Sent.
>>59386645I like Mega Scizor on rain. Bug Bite deals with grasses, and it has SD to take advantage of your screens.

>>59386707>Ladder usage data: https://pokechamdb.com/en
>>59386698Casual battles tend to not give me the feel of a ranked battle, I'll feel great with a certain team in casual and stomp people but then in ranked I'm playing against actual master ball tier people who know what they're doing. Then again, I guess I could try on showdown, didn't think of that.>>59386688Ohhh Mega Scizor might be good. Actually might be good to fit it in now since I want to use M-Golisopod when it drops, so it'd be a potentially easy swap.>>59386720If I remember right I think the speed investment I did was to outspeed regular Aerodactyl in rain.
I'm assuming all the nu meta defining Pokemon like Gholdengo, Archaludon, Kingambit, Basculegion and Ursaluna aren't very easy to get in the games since people are offering legendaries and shinies for them on GTS
>farig>incin>mawile>torkoal>clefable as bird counter (want to drop this)>sinistcha (secondary tr setter, rarely bring)How do I improve my hard tr comp? My core (the first 4) are brought almost every game and we're incredibly weak to:- ground- not deciding a game during tr- I don't understand when to swap out farig, and safely bring in mawileAny advice at all helps. I don't want to use the meta buttfucker non tr teams and I'd like to include something cool and unique on my team like slowking-g, or goodra-h
>>59386690I love Snips's ugly son.
>>59386724>>59386720Ok, so best I can see is 32 in HP at third, and no one is using spdef. If I assume 32 speed Jolly (worst case for me), I need tailwind/sunny day to outspeed, so it seems I'm going to be hanging with the whims. I think it would have been better to go with scarf for other match ups since max hp max speed is literally non-existent, but better safe than sorry, maybe. Moves were picked assuming it would be scarf but Life Orb/NMI seem to be required for 100% ohko on max HP, just requires a whimsicott to remove rain.
>thinking about future mega golisopod sets>trick room seems obvious but i tend to run a tailwind team>realize max speed investment golisopod in tailwind would outspeed base 130 pokemon a max speed, with its only genuine threat being m-delphox who i wouldnt bring up against anywaysIs this retarded? I obviously don't even know until it actually comes out so it's pure theorycrafting, but just the idea of running M-Golisopod under tailwind when everyone might expect Trick Room. It'd move second to anything above base 82 max speed with a scarf, though.
>>59386675I'm using a similar team, but with Throat Chop Sneasler and Imprison Firagiraf. I really only have water coverage with Arch though, so I get using Venusaur. The only other grass type with good synergy would be Sinistcha, and it has redirect.
>>59386750Make that base 71 if its maxed scarf, base 82 is if they're neutral. Again might be retarded, just thinking of the possibilities of running it with Tailwind Pelipper.
>>59386746Also I like scarf as an idea if it's timid because it outspeeds jolly scarf staraptor and lets you either do enough to the final gambit set that it doesn't kill anything or kill with moonblast. But then you aren't going to get the freeze-dry swampert kill without helping hand or something.
>>59386736>GholdengoHard to get, have to farm 1000 of an item in the overworld in Scarlet/Violet to evolve its preevolution, with each spot you can farm disappearing for the day and giving you anywhere from 1 to 100 of the coins you need>ArchaludonLocked behind a DLC but easy to get in it, can purchase the evolution item for relatively cheap in the second DLC of Scarlet Violet>KingambitRelatively easy to get, just a little tedious>BasculegionLocked behind PLA or the first DLC in Scarlet/Violet, but somewhat easy to get in the former and easier in the latterI don't know how it works with Go but for most of the examples you listed they're just sought after for being good.
>>59386741Gg, back to waging for me. I had no idea you could encore after an encore, and if it did work, it would let you use whatever move youre going to use then encore that move, but no, it disables my move entirely.Also that poison fish, psychic dont work, electric is normal, what the heck is that
>>59386761nrhdHow about Ursaluna? This thing seems to be right behind Floette and Gholdengo in demand. I'm assuming the regular is easy to get and Bloodmoon is the one everyone is asking for
>>59386767Ursaluna isn't in Champions yet (thank fuck) but it depends. Regular isn't hard, it's locked to S/V and you just need to get the specific item by playing the game or buying it later. Bloodmoon is locked to the first S/V DLC behind a quest which isn't too bad IIRC.
>>59386769Sorry I meant locked to PLA for regular Ursaluna, not S/V.
*ahem* FUCK ARCHALUDON
>>59386765>and if it did work, it would let you use whatever move youre going to use then encore that moveIt would work that way if you were faster than me, but that's the advantage of Prankster Encore. Because Encore always ends at the end of a turn, and I can always get priority on the next Encore, I can just lock someone into a move forever. It completely paralyzes them if what I'm encoring is a status move.Honestly, I don't know what you expected to happen after I did it a second time. You were boosting your SpD, sure, but you knew I had Nasty Plot or at the very least could copy your Calm Mind, so it was always going to end up being my max SpA vs your max SpD, except I also had encore so I had turns where you could attack and you couldn't.Considering how little damage my maxed-out Dark Pulse did to your Machamp, you might have had a shot at killing me if you had swapped off Ninetails earlier.>Also that poison fish, psychic dont work, electric is normal, what the heck is thatI feel like the fact that Overqwil isn't water-type throws a lot of people off. I've even forgotten it myself, in the past.Poison/Dark is a pretty decent defensive typing, and is the reason I put the build on him instead of Malamar or Medicham.I did make a version of it on Tsareena, but I haven't tested her out yet.
>>59386738Bulky T-tar with ice beam EV'd to just barely OHK that fucking cunt Garchomp.They never see it coming.
>>59386774I guess aside from the tedious Gholdengo/Kingambit the demand for these Pokemon is all coming from base game SV players who don't want to buy PLA or the SV DLCs
>>59386784>turns where you could attack and you couldn'tWhere I could attack and you couldn't, I mean.
Is there a benefit to grinding Singles if I got Master in Doubles already?
>>59386761>I don't know how it works with GoNeither Archaludon nor Basculegion are in Go yet. Kingambit and Gholdengo are very tedious to obtain and in Gholdengo's case you need to connect to SV anyways.
>>59386790Extra 1000 VP gift next season
>>59386795So 6 months from now I'd pay off the whole team that I needed to build for it? Sweet!
>>59386798bro your training tickets?
>>59386798tertiarygroid...
>>59386824Yeah my bad that I didn't think to make a U-Turn + Fell Stinger Beedrill on SV.
Im positive theres another gen one autist out there, it ain't easy right now. Golden dildos, a bridge, garchomp earthquake 1 tap everythingI like clefable but my buddy said to use thunderbolt instead of moon blast, or light screen/reflect as wellWhat the fuck is a mega anyways? The mega greninja rapes me without fail, is it even possible to build a gen 1 team without mega? Pikachu has been useless 100% of the times I've tried using him
>>59386831lol
>>59386831>it isnt a pastaread the op retard
>>59386831>What the fuck is a mega anyways?Certain pokemon have corresponding special stones and if you give a pokemon their stone, then you can have them ultimate digivolve during a match for a power-up. Lasts the rest of the match, but you can only do it for one pokemon.>is it even possible to build a gen 1 team without mega?Sure, in theory. But there are plenty of gen 1 megas and you're kind of passing up on free power by not having one.>Pikachu has been useless 100% of the times I've tried using himHave you bought the Light Ball for him? It doubles his Attack and SpA.He'll still be useless because he'll still have the defenses of a NFE mon so basically everything will shit on him, but maybe if you invest speed you can get a good attack off before he dies.
>>59386840Op is a faggot, theres no fren code listWhere the fuck is my cloyster and metronome and TAUROS THATS NOT BLACKCan op give me this? No
>>59386831I think this is the wrong game for you.If you want to battle with gen 1 pokemon without mega, go on showdown and play gen 1 OU or something.
>>59386831Unfortunately this is a "faggots only" game where you're forced to use really gay nigger pokemon that they groomed the tranny kids into liking. So basically you have to pick the faggiest pokemon that only little tranny kids like because they made all of the gen 1 pokemon dogshit on purpose to make everyone use faggot nigger pokemon who are extremely overpowered, cheap, and retarded. My only suggestion for you is to battle your friends and ban all of the new faggot nigger tranny pokemon so you can actually have fun and not be like a gay little tranny retard kid.
>>59386848Showdown has never interested me, its basically pokemon in an excel spreadsheet, I need combat. Pokemon stadium 1 and 2 were neat, I will beat these metafags and megafags with only Gen 1 pokemon and nigger tauros does not countIm screaming at these lineups with the only gen 1 options being shit I already have
Sinistcha is the most cancerous fucking monstrosity ever conceived, what fucking Smogon FAGGOT working at Game Feral designed this shit?
>>59386858haha, i matcha gotcha! haha
>>59386856trying way too fucking hard, you're either genuinely underaged or you're brown
>>59386857>I will beat these metafags and megafags with only Gen 1 pokemongood luck eternal genwunner, your journey will not be as fun as you think with this autistic mindset
doesnt gen 1 have mega charizard and raichu
>>59386865Megas are cheating, apparently
>>59386857>its basically pokemon in an excel spreadsheet, I need combatCombat is the whole point of Showdown.Or do you mean you need the pretty attack animations?
Appletun's typing doesn't do much favor but at least its stat spread is good for a defensive PokemonYou'd think its counterpart Flapple would be a fast offensive Pokemon but instead it's just built like a Hoenn slow mixed attacker shitmon
If I was forced, gun to the head, to play gen 1 only I think I'd go with this 6. And if you told me megas are out I'd just say shoot.
>>59386856>they made all of the gen 1 pokemon dogshit on purposeI don't think the gen 1 pokemon have been significantly changed since, like, gen 3.
>>59386867erm... megas are gens 6 or gen 9, chud? haha 69 haha
>>59386872Gengar over Gyara and it's a 'real' team
>>59386858One trying to make some DLC bucks
>>59386857>Im screaming at these lineups with the only gen 1 options being shit I already haveIf you download Pokemon GO and Pokemon Home, you can catch shitmons in GO and transfer them to Home and offer them up for trade for whatever Gen 1 pokemon you want.I'm sure there are anons here who would donate some.
>>59386858>tfw goon to so much feral Pokemon porn that Freak autocorrects to Feralbros...
>>5938687469 is an unc number now
>>59386871Flapple and Appletun suffer from being a 2nd stage final evo. Compare it to Dipplin who's a 2nd stage evo but gets a final evo with Hydrapple, you're essentially using an underpowered Pokemon even if they didn't initially design it to be.
>>59386878it's time to detox by fapping to anthro Pokemon then moving on to the trainers

I didn't enjoy this game. There is no proper tutorial explaining what to do with the coupons or even where to find and use them. Overall, the experience feels confusing and not very engaging. The older Nintendo Pokémon games were far better. They had Gym Leaders to challenge, Team Rocket/Plasma and other trainers to battle along the way, and training your Pokémon was genuinely fun and rewarding. This game just doesn't capture that same excitement or sense of progression.
>>59386921Why is it, that this game has a habit of finding the "perfect" team to beat you? The trainer always seems to know what pokemon youre going to bring and they know what moves you're gonna press. The matchmaking in this game is broken. There's no way 10 trainers in a row get the drop on you right out of the gate. Would not recommend. Not fun to play. Limited pokemon due to the meta that develops. Limited music. Literally only ONE battle arena. Worst pokemon game Ive played in a long time.
>>59386924I'm sorry I had really high hopes for this game apparently. This game's missing the elements that make a Pokemon game. Plus in the video ads I could have sworn I watched Pokemon being merged together; but there's none of that. You're also only limited to 3v3 battles, there's no story, the menus look backwards and clunky and simple. You should have just added this entire game as a battle feature in Pokémon Unite. It's obvious you already stole a majority of the content from Unite. Awful cutscenes
>>59386924anon if you're losing to 10 trainers in a row in pokeball/great ball tier then you're just shit at the game, assuming you haven't gotten enough wins to get higher than that. they literally throw bot matches at you designed for you to win
>>59386928Game favors the other players after a point. Every move starts to miss, never land status effects but they can and will, another example tried thunder 3 times and all missed, but the opponent of course landed their fire blast. After 2 consecutive days of it yeah its rigged to cheat someone. Mega Beedrill also isnt faster than mega charizard so your games broken and you owe me my win for that as well.
>>59386928I think anon is just dumping comments from somewhere else.
>>59386886Why didn't you just ask for one here?
>>59386933>Mega Beedrill also isnt faster than mega charizard so your games broken and you owe me my win for that as well.KEK are these reviews from somewhere?
>>59386939Google play store 1 star reviewsIn this game we dont know whose pokemon will attack first and during the match my opponent's pokemon attacks first and he defeats my pokemon. Also there isn't any description or list of which type is effective and weak against which type, so in game we dont know which 4 pokemons we should choose for the match. I want you to update two things. First, keep a proper way that which trainer will attack first. Second, provide a list of effective and weak against which during the selection of 4 pokemon
>>59386935yeah after the third one i realized it was a bait copypasta, im retarded
>>59386926>You should have just added this entire game as a battle feature in Pokémon Unite. It's obvious you already stole a majority of the content from Unite.kek
>>59386901>I was told by a friend to get light ball and youre right he still gets raped instantly, ain't been able to get 1 attack off once with himHe might get less raped once they add eviolite to the game, but then he'd have shit attack stats instead.Ultimately, it's just what's to be expected for using an NFE pokemon. It's not even a matter of powercreep, Raichu was gen 1.Ash Ketchum was a retard and his Pikachu was a freak of nature.
>>59386868Im with visualtards showdown gets kinda meh to look at after a while. Looks too much like work.
>>59386944Cant do shi when they put your pokemon to sleep, waste of time just clicking everything while your pokemon is asleep. People are trying hard in ranked and we cant earn vp in casual game bruh need to play rank just to earn vp and get beaten up by this damn meta team while hitting useless damage to the enemy pokemon
>>59386901>>59386916Also for the record, dynamax isn't a thing in Champions at all so you don't need to worry about it.
>>59386944>Also there isn't any description or list of which type is effective and weak against which typeI've had the type chart memorized my entire life and I actually agree with this. All the other important aspects have pretty good tutorials (if you can read) and the moves already show you if it's SE or not
>>59386966It's in the gameplay guides "Basic Battling Know-How" section.
When are the results gonna tally, today or tomorrow?
Might sound lame but I just feel super depressed.Im stuck in ultra ball 4 singles. I spent 50 bucks for the year subscription and also the eelektross pass because I was determined to get into the game.Grinded z-a when I had plenty of other things to do because I felt floette was going to get me to master ball.Im just coping and feel useless, no matter how hard I try to get gud at any competitive game I just cant win, even for pokemon despite artistically knowing every pokemon name and type.Might an hero, its pathetic but this is the straw that broke the camerupts back.
>>59386918you will never be white
>>59386916>>59386962Right, I noticed i wasn't seeing any of this "dynamax" happening but god i thought that was the laziest shit they have ever done, at least mega looks different and apparently changes typing like weakening clefable by adding flying type to itMega gengar looks cool but the scarf or whatever speed thing allows garchomp to 1 tap eq my gengar so it was making me upset.If i catch a cloyster in GO, transfer it to HOME(made my account on that just for champs,) could I then transfer cloyster to champs even though I heard cloyster is unavailable in champs? At the end of the day, I want to use pokemon i like and im okay with not being meta, and I like gen 1 best of all, im not even really mad about the newer mons being stronger, power creep is in everything really
>>59386962isn't a thing *yet*. The "Omni Ring" supposedly will support every gimmick at some point. I dread the return of Z-Crystals.
when my tera electric dmax (now he has 2 hp) shedinja holding an air balloon clicks max flutterby, better watch out
>>59386980>could I then transfer cloyster to champs even though I heard cloyster is unavailable in champs?No, I don't think it's possible to transfer pokemon to Champions if that pokemon isn't in the Champions roster yet.
>this clown just OHKO my opponent's Altaria, Kingambit, and Heracross>he outsped all of themNo one expects the speedmaxxing Conkeldurr.
>>59386996Based punch man reminding everyone he's a TWO TIME CHAMP BABY
>>59386989Damn shame, thanks for the info.Trying to make clefable slowbro and machamp work, not sure which to mega except NOT clefableOr some way to apply toxic if that move is even allowed since apparently metronome is not
>>59386980Mega Gengar can be really annoying for people if you run Perish Trap, since it gets Shadow Tag when it evolves. You have to be careful against certain leads though, swap out if you see a Garchomp or whatnot. But if you have a safe lead, use Perish Song, use Protect for 1 turn, and if you live on turn 2 you can swap out and take down two of their mons (assuming neither are Ghost-types that can escape Shadow Tag). Usually it's paired with non Gen 1 Pokemon, but Aero could be a good partner for Rock Slide flinches to increase Gengars odds of surviving its exposed turn.
>>59386973brother singles is not real at all. it's basically like playing roulette. also are you sure you're using meta mons? floette is great in doubles but in singles it might not be
>>59387035Actually, adding on, Clefable can be a good partner for Mega Gengar with Perish Song. Life Dew and Follow Me to redirect single target moves and heal it so it can survive long enough to swap out before the Song finishes.
>>59387016>Or some way to apply toxic if that move is even allowedToxic is in the game.You can use this site to check which mons, items, moves, etc. are in the game right now: https://pokebase.app/pokemon-champions/pokemonNote that the abilities list and moves list are deceptive, and will show you search results for abilities and moves that aren't actually in the game. To find out for sure, you have to click on the ability/move to open the page where it lists all the pokemon in the game that can have it. If the list is empty (like it is for Metronome) then it's not in the game.You can also go to an individual pokemon's page and see all the moves it can have in Champions.
>>59387046Actually what the fuck is good in singles? I assume you want a setter like tailwind etc, a sweeper and a random third bullet. Since it's not 6v6 and mega gengar exists you cannot rely on ebin stall pass right?
I wish you could see stats for each of your pokemon, like how many wins/losses they have. I'm curious how effective each of them is being.
>>59387052I just know Chomp usage is sky high and that's it, 3v3 singles is just not fun and I don't concern myself with it
>>59387035>>59387048I do singles though, does this still work? I don't know most of the moves n shit youre talking about, gonna do some reading after workBuddy told me to get aero which I like so I have been trying to get one>>59387051Thanks, im sure this was in the op that I did not read but I will look at individual pokemon first and then try to get a build going I like and somehow be not retarded when making a team comp of 3 or 6 if I have enough brain power to pick which 3 of the 6 to use given the opponents pokemon, which I disregard usually because the more I think about which to start with, they counter my thinking so instead I just yeet out whatever I feel like

>>59387259*team rocket encounterI also found it (it's in friends tab) and seems you can enter it at a later date (might be 72hr?), so no hurry for you anonI have 10 hours left myself though so if anyone else wants to share their code I'll gladly redeem it so we both get a zard
>>59387264top 300
>>59387264300 but it's not up yet since it's tallying. It's usually a week after new season
retard here. what makes encore so good on Whimsicott? it just throws it out turn 2 because tailwind and you see what people used?
>>59387279Punishes you for using fake out protect or a boosting move
>>59387279Prankster gets you get priority on it so if on the first turn you saw somebody use Fake Out, Protect, a boosting move, their own Tailwind, Weather setting move etc, you burn their turn or force a switch.
>>59387249try VQH7WWM3Y
>>59387299Got it
Where are these Psychic Terrain troons coming from
>enemy clear cut has a way out to win the game with no unique situations, switches, etc.>they still manage to losesurreal how often this happens
>>59387336My favorite time when this happens is when they don't understand they are in this situation and have power, and can force a victory by attacking in a certain order, and instead just end up attacking into protect going for broke that I wouldn't protect. So insane.
>>59387313I think I was supposed to get a friend request from you automatically but it didn't work, so try adding me.7511 6906 7982
>no follow me/rage powder + wide guard pokemon foundWould that be broken alongside Mega Gengar assuming screens are on your field?
>>59387349Think I need to complete the tutorialApparently sitting on my chair at my desk is too fast though
can I have a suggestion on the 6th slot for this team?
>>59387380Specs weedle.
>>59387382would if I could
>>59387383Scarf beedrill.
>>59387380>Lum berry AeroJust put it's mega stone on it. It functions just fine without it but having the option would decide more games than a Lum berry.
>>59387380You need a wincon other than froslass so fucking bad
>>59387391yeahI do
>>59387349Alright, cool. No mons around me but next time I descend the mountain ill keep an eye out, I know theres all sorts of locations in town
>>59387380I don't think you can afford to have so little answer to Kingambit in this game.
>Kill Jobraptor>Instant forfeitmakes me jej every time
>>59387394>>59387380Mmmaybe mega metagross could work then? It would appreciate weavile scaring off ghosts and garchomp, and megagross always pairs well with tailwind.Idk how well it synergizes with clefable or milotic though
>>59387405My Mega is Frosslass though. I'm willing to give Aerodactyle a mega stone just for the heck of it, but 2 duds? I dunno
>>59387380Choice scarf final gambit staraptor
>>59387380Fucking anything with a fighting type move.
>>59387372its how gps's work. When you first turn it on (open any app that uses geo location) your location bounces around a bit as it calibrates before it starts working properly.
>bounce around Great Ball 3 for multiple hours this morning>finally get on a winning streak and shoot up to Ultra Ball in like an hourI did switch up my team, though. My recent wins were with Zoroark, Talonflame, and Sableye.
>>593873807 (seven (out of 18)) attacking types on this team btw
>>59387380So uhhh what do you do vs Kinggambit?
>>59387380Kommo-o or Conk. You have fuck all for priority.
>>59387372I got a request and accepted it, even got a friend tutorial, but it's still not showing up on my list. I assume it's bugged (like many things in this decade old game somehow), so try sending again, and maybe tomorrow too, and hopefully it unfucks itself.
>gotta catch 'em all>it's not possible to have enough box space through any means to have every pokemon in Champions
So it looks like the most cost effective way to increase my box pokemon is getting a pokemon home subscription?Im on mobile so dont get the 50+ one time off expansion. According is all my training points and moves dont change along as I dont change anything whilst its at home.Anyone else try this? Cause the champions subscription seems like a rip of. It's 1/4 the price for a year of pokemon home
>>59387459You just got to buy the memebership (for the 1000 slots) and the starter pack (for the permanent +50)
>>59387460You cant just login to your nintendo account, link it, then buy the starter pack from the web?
>>59387464can't do it unless you have the game installed on a Switch tied to your account
>>59387467I thought you can buy it from here directlyhttps://www.nintendo.com/en-us/store/products/pokemon-champions-plus-starter-pack-switch/
>>59387428>>59387424can a Heracross or Lucario work? I don't have many mons.
>>59387472only the switch version can recognize the pack and add the content to your account
So I drew a roster for the first time where I didn't want anything. How do you reroll? It says I have 20 hrs and 44 minutes until a no-cost lineup. But how do I pay tickets for a cost lineup? I don't see an option anywhere to pay tickets for a new one.
>>59387460>So it looks like the most cost effective way to increase my box pokemon is getting a pokemon home subscription?Most cost-effective, yes, but whether it's usable for you depends on your circumstances.You can't transfer pokemon out of Champions if you collected them there, so a Home membership won't help you if you're getting all or most of your pokemon in Champions.If you're getting a lot of your pokemon from GTS/other pokemon games, though, then you can keep those in Home and move them to/from Champions as needed.>According is all my training points and moves dont change along as I dont change anything whilst its at home.Correct.
>>59387481Quick Tickets are used automatically if you have anyWhen you're about to recruit, it shows what your starting VP and ending VP will be - if they're the same number its using tickets
>>59387481>It says I have 20 hrs and 44 minutes until a no-cost lineupPost the screen where it says that so I can put a big red arrow on what you're supposed to click.
>>59387481>So I drew a roster for the first time where I didn't want anythingPick whatever and immediately toss that nigga out once you reached the max mons in box. There is no reason for a furfrou to sit in the box, even if it is shiny. Its taking up space where something more useful could be there instead>But how do I pay tickets for a cost lineup? I don't see an option anywhere to pay tickets for a new one.? You always see it if you wanna roll though, unless you have literally zero
>>59387380you have 2 lifedew sets with froslass, but froslass is a glass cannon carry so it doesn't benifit from healing like say an archaludon would (since if froslass gets hit its probably getting 1 shot). Run the coil hypnosis set on milotic instead, Froslass benifits more from the hard cc that sleep gives (again because its a glass cannon) since you already have aero for speed control you don't need icy wind really either. For you're 6th you want another mega mon carry that you can play instead of frosslass when its a bad frosslass game, idk blaziken?
>>59385723If someone uses taunt you're fucked.
Turns out Annihilape is better off without the meme mice family
>>59387498but muh beat up
learning some of my favorite shinies I've had for years fail the check and can't go home is the exact pain I felt as a small child learning about Santa
>>59387493I have never seen Taunt used once in 100s of battles on champs, not singles nor doubles which is very surprising with protect spam and singles being mainly set up sweepers
New bread.>>59387502>>59387502>>59387502
>>59387493If someone is a ghost-type so I can't block them or has Unaware so I can't buff my defense against them, I'm also fucked.A build isn't invalidated just because counters exist.
>>59387199ive gone all the way to ultra ball 2 in 3 days since starting and i havnt seen a single grimmsnarl. which is insane because i knows hes good.
>>59386373Don't play too many anticipation in ladder bro. Just press super effective button unless opponent shows protect on turn one.
>>59387460Champions basically creates a clone that is independently modified. If you move it back to Home Home marks it as having been to Champions and Champions remembers it when you bring it back.
