THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR TRADES/BEGGING LIKE A FUCKING POORFAG.MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD FOR THAT STUFF, OTHERWISE STFU.jannies do your fucking job
do people really like shinies even if they're crap? i put some random shitty shinies i found in Go years ago on GTS and they got grabbed within a couple minutes for useful meta stuff.
>https://x.com/i/status/2071962957219819872KEKAROOOO
>>59408015Kinda dependent on Sash or Scarf to do its job
>>59408022Any coverage move below 100BP is completely useless. I’ve won games because people overestimate their Ice Punch
>>59408017got a spare floette eternal?
>>59408024it sthe same for meowSCARADA tho
>>59408022not opening shitter, post the webm
>>59408021Now that I'm done collecting legendaries on GTS I'm just hunting for shinies for collection sake. I have 2 shiny Metagross now and it is one of the better shinies but I prefer the original blue look and use that instead on Champions
>>59408034Not a webm. Just Skibidigatr failing to kill a Garchomp with Ice Punch
Since Champions ignores IVs I don't even bother breeding anymoreI just grab a Synchronize user with the right nature and catch what I want fresh from the wild
>>>can't rename my hydreigon into Adolf
>>59408047I've seen a few high value stuff on GTS like Floette-E and shiny meta Pokemon with the name Htlrwasright or something like that
>>59408052Not seen Hitler but I have seen IDF Soldier and Floettenyahu
>>59408039why on Gods green flat earth would anyone run ice punch on mega gator?>>59408052>Htlrwasrightcorrect
>>59408059kek
>>59408062It was singles. Better to ask why on gods green earth anyone would play that
will terrain extender get added to the game? my main tactic includes bellibolt using e.terrain + rising voltage mon, i need it
>>59408066If Gamefreak isn’t retarded then yeah. Probably when the terrain setters are added
>>59408065Gatr is fine in singles.
>>59408022the humiliation ritual never stopped
>>59408073Why anyone would play 3v3, I mean
lol?
Just saw a clip of someone using Agility Mega Stapator in Trick Room...
>Belly Drum Charizard X
>lose because opponent didn't get paralyzed for 8 turns straight while spamming recoverUnironically I want them to revert the para nerf. It actually feels worthless now.
I was stuck in Hyper Ball using the new megas but went back to Zard Y and straight back to Masters
>>59408186can you drop from master to ultra?
>>59408191no
>>59408155sovl...
>>59408043IVs were always stupid anyway. Hidden Power should have been tied to a different metric that had no bearing on actual stats.
>Pickup actually does something in battle nowHoly moley some of these Champions changes aren't making the jump to Wind n Waves, are they
God the giraffe is so good Are we ever going to replace it as tr setter?
>>59408047Someone i faced had a shiny sableye named "Jew"
>bottom 10 in usageWhat went wrong?
Personally I think both IVs and Evs should be gone. Natures and Hidden abilities are enough.
>>59408248Well for starting: it looks like shit Second: Mixed attacker lmao
>>59408017I was going to ask for a Floette but it got so bad I decided to finish Z-A and get it myself
>>59408249
>>59408248I have "Samurott discourse on /vp/" fatigue because every time it's mentioned there's always a forced flame war over it. And even WHEN the subject isn't about Samurott there's always someone to mention the Pokemon just to start shit.Samurott is literally one of those Pokemon that you can't mention on this board without some dipshit having a clittyleak.
>>59408249This would just punish weaker Pokemon as people will gravitate towards the stronger options more than ever.
so do we know what pokemon they're adding in the next update?
>have 20+ recruited Pokemon I don't fucking want>GameFreak won't let me return them to roll for moreFucking hate these Jews.
>>59408280Probably all the missing Megas that aren't Legendaries and Mythicals.M5 will probably add the Legendaries and make them legal, MIGHT include the Primals but they might also milk the Primals into the following M6, and finally make Mythicals legal in M6 or M7.
>>59408280No, but it's a guarantee that not a single buff will be given to any of the weaker Pokemon.
>>59408203It did that in SV raids
Is there anything more trashy than a full shiny team? We know you genned all that buddy
>>59408301i got all mine from pokemonZA, and on beast balls o top of it.cope and seethe nigger, unlucky you i don’t cheat my mons
>>59408301They should tie true shinies to the blockchain. I'm tired of this twisted world
Got tired of screens spam so I'm using Imprision Grimmsnarl now
>>59408313Thee first rule of security is once something leaves your system and is given to the public, it is no longer secure. Until Pokemon is a game played entirely on a server with you just sending inputs in while all the calculations are done server-side, there is no way to guarantee the legitimacy of any Pokemon data.
>>59408312
>>59408230Sableye too cute to be Jew.
Is there a worst moment than Talonflame missing the second Wingbeat against Whimsicott?
>>59408248H-Samurott is more useful desu.
Do any of y'all have a genned shiny Archaludon in Home?
>>59408375I've stopped running dual wingbeat because of it. 90% feels awful. Imagine missing both which happens more often that not
>>59408385>>59408017
Dragon Rush needs to be 95% accuracy with a high crit ratio.
>>59408388>Imagine missing both which happens more often that notYou hit both or nothing, there's only one accuracy check, it's not triple axel.
>when a well timed After You m'lady wins you the game
>>59408077Why is Typhlosion the only Gen 2 starter to not have a mega?
>>59408431Speaking of that move, I faced someone who used vileplume alongside torkoal which I thought was clever for the moments trick room wasn't on and I'd like to try that strat myself for any anon kind enough to spare 1 vileplumecoin
Every team has to use Tailwind or Tranny Room because there’s no reliable counterplay to this thing. Dreadful Pokemon
Friday make your presence known.It's time
>>59406738I really don't want to run Whimsichud, but I'll see what I can do. I do have Farigiraf on my Champions box, just need to transfer over a shiny Raichu from Legends ZA.
>>59408451>>59408462There is not a single mon I have come to hate more than Whimsicott.I hate prankster mons in general, but whimsi specifically pisses me off to no ends
>>59408451>ceruledge used bitterblade>opposing whimsicott used taunt
>>59408467I faced someone named Jesus and they used Charizard, Garchomp, Whimsicott and Fagiraffe. The Lord of Lords and King of Kings would never use such blasphemy against God, that's why God let me win that match
>>59408451>Prankster, but also fast>Focus Sash gives the enemy a free Tailwind unless BOTH of your mons target Whimsicott with priority
>>59408475>double target whimsi>it always protectsEvery goddamn time
>>59408480Killing it doesn't even matter, if it gets tailwind up its done its job. you've just given them a free switch
>>59408467I think Whimsicott should lose Tailwind desu, or make Tailwind negative prio like Trick Room.
When I was newer I had a bad habit of trying to set up in front of whimsicott, sometimes I just kill it on sight hoping teiple axel will land 3 times or double into it cause I don't like the look of it even if the other side is more threatening
>Tailwind/Trick Room spam>Protect spam>weather team spam with Yzard or Pelipper>Garchomp in every fucking matchSingles is more fun than Doubles.
>>59408281>GameFreak won't let me return them to roll for more...What? Its piss easy to return them though?
>>59408475>with priorityand those using the priority better be faster than whomosicott, otherwise troonwind goes first.but you already said the main issue:>Prankster, but also fast
>>59408481>>59408480I lead Incin + Garchomp into it. Fake Out + Poison Jab to always take it out.It's a coin toss, but yesterday I ran into the one Whimsichud that not only Protected, but also was a slow nature since it outsped Garchomp under Trick Room.
>>59408475I used a Talonflame set that can kill Whimsy before it Tailwinds, but you have to be able to play around Protect / Fake Out / Sandstorm
>>59408482>or make Tailwind negative prio like Trick Room.TPC HIRE THIS MAN!!!
What if Tailwind did not instantly double the speed of your side, but instead gradually increased it over the length of the effect?Start it at 1.25x and increase it by 0.25x every turn so that only the last turn is double speed.
Best non prankster taunt user? And is there a dark type move and mon that can ohko the giraf?
Trick Room should make Prankster give negative priority.
>>59408487I lead lopunny and ceruledge amd it always fucking protects when I try to fake it out + bitterblade it
>>59408248Just retcon it from the franchise Hisuian is better anyway
>>59408451talonflame hard counters this thing before it can even use prankster
>>59408509>Best non prankster taunt user?i use gyarados>is there a darkmon to ohko the girafe?ttar know off or the king kowtow cleave
>>59408526>Dual Wingbeat misses
>>59408509If gambit doesn't OHKO it with kowtow then I doubt there is any other dark type mon that can do it.
>>59408481>ignore it and you cant play the game because of encore
I'm trying to learn M-floette balance and this fucker feels awfully fair when I'm running it.is it just the metagame being hostile? Is the real secret to balance making your secondary meta buttfuck all the floette counters and then just never running your own floette
>>59408526>talonflame hard counte- ACK!!!
>>59408533If you're playing m-floette and losing its actually a skill issue.
>>59408533The thing about top meta threats is that everyone and their mom is running something that counters it, because if you don't you'll just get sweeped by it.
>>59408532I've won games against whimmy just double swinging into its partner every turn. Encore doesn't really matter that much if you're just swinging unless they have an immunity in the back.
>>59408509For trick room teams Umbreon does the job with Taunt and Snarl spam, Ceruledge is insurance if their fagiraffe has mental herb as something that can soak up eruptions and bulk up in front of mega mawile with a Colbur Berry attached
>>59408482unironically all field manipulation moves should be minus priority
>>59408533It racku coverage moves, that thing is quite a bit worse than CharY and maybe even Mega Gengar as theres so many cancerous options you can synergise with Gengar, Eternal Floette is boosted fairy moves and that's about it, you still should have a steel or poison type on your team for it and sylveon though (sylveon may be budget eternal floette but at least it can be ran with CharY to cover kingambit and scizor but they better have scorching sands for glimmorachads)
>>59408017....but...but that's the only way this thread stays alive with this game
>>59408533>I'm trying to learn M-floette balance and this fucker feels awfully fair when I'm running it.Just go Modest 32 HP/32 SpA, Moonblast+DGleam+LoR+Protect. LoR OHKOs Archaludon, Kingambit and Basculegion.You also want to pair it with a Whimiscott often. Moonblast/TW/Encore/Protect Sash + 32 SpA and 32 Speed Timid, or 32 Speed 32 HP Fairy Feather. Fairy Aura means you deal a lot of damage with Whim's Moonblast & TW allows Floette to outspeed.>making your secondary meta buttfuck all the floette countersYes that's why people play Floette+ZardY; most ZardY counters are obliterated either by Chomp or by Floette
Anyone has a BSS team I can steal? I want to rush to MB before the season ends
>>59408613i used the same rain team from doubles except swap sinistcha and grimm/sableye for garchomp and kingambit
Oh how good it feels to destroy a perish trap team 4-0
Add her
>>59408450Please send me a vileplume, can't be too hard to find/gen a vileplume, don't even care about using VP to edit its set
One sleep powder shut my whole team down... it's the only thing i cant build anything against. If i do, it opens up my team to other weaknesses
coil milotic is such a war criminal, it feels incredibly unfair playing it I can't imagine how it feels to play against
>>59408686just had a game where venusaur spammed sleep powder the entire time and every single one missed
>>59408692It's annoying when it connects. That guy probably didnt run wide lens. Its even worse when you're dealing with the damn butterfly
>>59408686Lum Berry scizor
>>59408688I Taunted it and used Yawn to give it a taste of it's own medicine and my opponent forfeited
>>59408294I learned two things today, thank you.
>>59408700Can a scizor ohko a venusaur?
Toxapex is literally THE make everyone rage quit and seethe pokemon I love it
>>59408713Bug bite does at +2 if no sash, you'll need a team-mate that can beat zard though, mega raichu x comes to mind cause of Electric Terrain stopping sleep altogether but its kinda bad outside of your opponent expecting it to mega into Ychu
>>59408721Boy, have I got the team build for YOU.
Threadly reminder to JOIN THE MONOTYPE TOURNAMENT. IF YOU HATE THE META THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT TO JOIN AND HAVE FUN>>59408679I think I have some breedjects from SV still laying around. Gimme a bit.
>>59408744I'm waiting until I hit Master Ball.
>>59408744what monotype tournament
>>59408450>>59408679Sent.>>59408750This one.https://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/59377245#top
>>59408721>>59408735What EVs and moves? Have considered using one but not sure what the best way to play it is.
>>59408753Thank you heaps
>>59408756For >>59408735, I did Bold nature with 32 HP, 30 SpDef, and 4 Def, with Stockpile, Recover, Muddy Water, and Toxic. His teammate is a Limber Ditto with max HP and Speed.Ditto transforms into him, they both form an unbreakable wall with Stockpile and Recover.
>>59408744I was already planning a steel team then realized no steel type can trick room in this game
>>59408833Bro you forgot your keys.
>>59408841>Bro you forgot your keys.i always forget my keys....I didn't know that thing was in this game
>Tinkaton>Mega Mawile>KlefkiHow is my monotype steel team going bros
>>59408846>spoilerIt be like that. Some pokemon are so niche you didn't know they exist until you play against them
>Tinkaton>Mega Mawile>KlefkiHow is my monotype fairy team going bros
>>59408855Is Metagross too obvious?
>>59408923The joke is that they're all Fairy-types.
>>59408777How often does that ditto die turn 1 before it can transform though
>>59408942Not all that often.
hast du eine floette?
Eelektross would be a perfect meta counter if he could just learn Ice Beam...
>>59408958gesendet ^^
Thousand arrows should be introduced to Champions and given to Hippowdon
>>59408962>no bulk>middle speed so not that great under either tw or trWhat would it even hit if it had ice beam? garchomp?
>>59408968Yes, Garchomp.>middle speed so not that great under either tw or trHe doesn't outspeed absolutely everything under Trick Room, but he does outspeed most things.Eelektross + Cofagrigus have become my dedicated "fuck your Swampert and Pelipper" lead.Swampert always goes for the Earthquake, which Cofagrigus easily tanks, then Eelektross OHKOs him with Giga Drain while Cofag sets up Trick Room so Eelektross can clean up Pelipper next turn.With Thunderbolt, Giga Drain, and Flamethrower, Eelektross shits on Sinistcha, Basculegion, Whimsicott, Charizard, Staraptor, Gholdengo, Metagross, etc. Cofagrigus can handle Incineroar and Kingambit with Body Press.The only metamon that really gives that duo trouble so far is Garchomp. Dragon Pulse does okay, but it doesn't one-shot him and he hits Cofagrigus hard.
My buddy told me today that he’s OHKOing the giraffe with Iron Ball Fling Tyranitar. I don’t know if I believe him
>>59408980I run some calcs. You are not guaranteed to ohko charizard with 252+ thunderbolt, you need 240 ev in hp/200 in def to survive both wave crash and sun weather ball.I assume it's ok anti rain thanks to both grass and electric moves but not so much against sun.
>>59408962Consider the followingactually don't he is bad
I have been running Snorlax as a anti TR mon (he always goes first in TR & fucks your shit)But is there a better mon that would fill that?
just saw a charz y running rockslide
>>59409112
I really should just release this free Machamp but he might be useful with GMax when it comes along so idk i might have quit by then considering the lack of boxes anyw
Why aren't way more people playing protect the king, dumping debuffs onto raptor? It's working for me and I'm not even a good player.
Daily casuals and giraf posting. Losing with a Mega Floette is crazy work
>>59409167
>official PC channel wants players to upload cool clips on X>no replay function in-gameHow did they fuck up that badly?
im tempted to play through the old switch pokemon games just to transfer them to home but its just so damn slow without emulator speedup
>>59409223I had fun with FireRed after not being able to play it for years, hoping functionality with home comes around once I can shiny hunt a Ralts from RS.
>>59409223Got Sword used from a friend back in 2021, blazed through the game in like 10 hours then never touched it until Champions came outNow it's at about 120 hours from just preparing Pokemon for Champions which reawakened my collecting autism
>>59408011lmao Heracross Mega is just insanely bad, not screens nor tailwind can make it work even slightly
>>59409262Trick room maybe?
Cant wait for new season so i can run my shiny kleavor in singles again in the lower tiers
>>59409262Trick Room is the only way it can remotely work.
>>59409001Just another Pokemon that will be in the bottom 100 for usage and Game Freak will never take the hint as to what's wrong.
>>59409285It's still popular for regular playthroughs. I doubt they care
>>59409275>>59409282still havent found a TR setter that's not Metagross or Starmie
I completely forgot how to deal with Volt switch mega manectric. That threw me off guard
>>594080331. If Kleavor has the sash, your Meowscarada cant2. Meowscarada actually gets to click different moves and have options. Kleavor is Stone Axe into "Not very effective" every time it hits the field
>>59408444Why is Emboar the only gen 5 starter to get a mega?
>>59408179Just treat it as permanent speed drop instead of relying on rng you shitter.
>>59408179Burn and para are glorified stat drops now
>>59408216People will say "no" until Gholdengo gets trick room
>Basculegion >Swampert >Sharpedo >Gyarados They should all get fishous rend
Golurk & M-Excadrill were nerfed to unviability all because of Niggerfu who isn’t even in the game and is going to be good anyways. Fuck Gookfreak
>>59409360There's something that doesn't really hype me up nor grosses me out about urshifu It's just there
>>59408509Aerodactyl, because it has the side benefit of being Aerodactyl
>Population Bomb lands on mega floette 8 times killing it>Battle has ended in forfeitGod I love these little guys so much
How the fuck you counter that fuckass fairy sheep and and that shitass fire tiger combo lead
>>59409425Just put kinggambit on your team, you dont even need to bring him to the fight
>>59409418what the fuck is this gay shit, one of my mons got hit 10 times by this piece of shit
>regulation M-C imminent >still the kinggod DAMN i love having this mf alpha shiny on a beast ball and dunking on shitters
>>59409437And because if kings rock even if you do survive there's a %65 chance of flinch
>>59409462Next season is still M-B.
>>59409462Zard Y and garchomp teams die with M-C>baxcalibur >tatsudozo >megamence >the Z megasAll fuck zard Y
It should clear Tailwind
>>59408484Yeah so much better than Flower Trick Triple Axel Knock Off cat every game.
tailwind and trick room are only over centralizing because turn order is overly important, which itself is only the case because the offensive power level is out of control the pokemon battle system was designed when basically every mon didn't have borderline guaranteed access to 100+ BP STAB moves or increasingly minmaxed statsget rid of the rocket tag problem and you get rid of speed wars >but it would make stall better in singles1. who cares 2. even if I did it wouldn't anyway, the main victim of offense creep is actually bulky offense/balance teams who would be more present as a check against stall if they were allowed to exist without being nuked by everything
Bring him back.
>>59409494ok but fishous rend nerfed to 50 BP
I have a full shiny future paradox team called the silver surfers and I WILL make champions with them
>>59408988>32+ Atk Iron Ball Tyranitar Fling (130 BP) vs. 32 HP / 2 Def Farigiraf: 324-384 (142.7 - 169.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO>32+ Atk Iron Ball Tyranitar Fling (130 BP) vs. 32 HP / 22+ Def Colbur Berry Farigiraf: 121-144 (53.3 - 63.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after sandstorm damageDepends on the giraffe, but it can be done. For additional lulz you could run Unnerve over Sandstream and guarantee the KO on Colbur, but I don't think it's worth it.
>>59409291That's only because it's "le cool and badassarino".
>>59409494Only if all the other fossil Pokemon get the buffs they deserve.No exceptions.but we all know that won't happen with this sodomite bullshit
>>59409466nani!?
She's here.
>>59409544And the season after that too actually, it's M-B until September.
>>59409551>its M-B all the way down:(
>>59409301nigger what are you saying
>>59409559kek
>>59409301I use Cofagrigus.
Any pokemon that could save us from sneedler?
>>59409471That still won't make it bad lol.
>>59409605alakazham
>>59409614Already in the game
>>59409605Indeedee.
>>59409301I use bulky flame body chandelure to set trick room and its great bo1 cause literally nobody expects that shit
>>59409632>Psychic Terrain won’t protect Talon
>>59409605Galarian Slowking
>>59409632I just caught one in Go. I'm saving her for her eventual return to the meta... but gdi i need more box slots.
game needs more psychic terrain setters tired of seeing that stupid fat imp thing
>>59409677Indeedee is the only one that matters.We have no real psychic terrain setters.
>>59409437Fucktarded nigger shit that stupid niggers made
>>59409301Farigiraf. Whimsicott. Hatterene. Slowbro/Slowking. Sinistcha.
>>59409471ZardY AND Floette will become irrelevant when Primal Groudon and Xerneas both become legal.
>>59409778>when Primal Groudon and Xerneas both become legal.one can hope this never happens, that’s one way to further murder this game unless they add a bracket without legendaries
>>59409785You should expect post-worlds to be a sub-legendary format like Reg F, Worlds 27 may be a single restricted format.The primals will be back.
>>59409785I'm just trying to see if I can get to Champion Rank once and then stop playing completely.
>>59409789>just reach top 300 brothankfully I'll never be able to since im not unemployed
>>59409551I see why casuals left this game lmfao
The game really needs more rewards otherwise it will be fucking dead. Also a monthly battle pass should cost that fcking much.
>reach masterball tier fairly easily>decide to make another team to climb the ladder>1 win 5 losses
>>59409762kill yourself
>>59408877Garbage, honestly. Try Mimikyu, M Altaria, Tink.
>>59409559I didn't pull anything that can learn trick room besides starmie you illiterate nigger>>59409578>>59409650>>59409775dont have them
THE WALL
>>59409905qrd on this meme?
>>59409910bro runs a gimmicky hard trick room on casual battles and the few times he wins he posts here
>>59409904sorry baby I can't hear you all the way down there in great ball
I recently started using Kingambit after refusing to use it since launch. I have to admit, I was wrong. This mon is fun as hell.I am now running him because I like him and not meta reasons.
>>59409913not even my peak I was top 800 one week ago
>-1 Attack Incineroar used Flare Blitz>haha, my Corviknight managed to outspeed you and roost! That pathetic -1 Attack won't do a thing to my +6 Def->it was a critical hit!Damn you 4% roll...
>>59409691can only hope they give it to some older psychic shitmons, plenty of them could take it
>tailwind>tailwind>tailwind>tailwind>tailwind
>>59410007double babbies will tell you this is peak skill expression
>FINALLY get into a favourable situation with the shitmon I like>misses the 90% accurate move and dies to supereffective metamon moveguess I should load up the same precooked shit
Does this game not get leaks? I expected to know something about the next rules already. Or am I just not looking in the right place?
>>59410050its quite miserable. its either whims prankster tailwind or pelipper tailwind with sash and a fake out assist
>>59410086the chinks are keeping it pretty much airtight.also your main leaker:
>>59409912i mean THE WALL thing, ive seen even on jewtube but i don’t see why, is it just because of its high defence people adopted it that name?
>>59410086Next rules are only coming in two months.
>>59410115It's based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNzBAWdkWfwWhich itself is based on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXp8Th41rBs
>>59410095come home, white man
>>59410111faggots ruin everything they touch
>>59410120I meant M-c, new mons, new pass etc.>>59410111Centroleaks is a big no.
>Kangaskhan>Eelektross>CeruledgeWho should I choose bros... Replacing my Wash Room with Eelektross might be cool, but my only fire mon right now is Blaziken... I don't really want to move in Pokemon from Home in case they end up getting trapped on Champions somehow.
>>59410086>>59410137Last leak was day-of, so no
>>59410111>cenTROON leakskek
>>59408841>>59408846>>59408865it's literally next to the menu, retards. LITERALLY there every single time you go for a match.
>>59410196Hiding in plain sight is a valid tactic
God every mon with Cloud Nine is garbage, no wonder weathers are so good, nobody will ever use non-mega Altaria or Drampa
>>59410291I use non-mega Altaria and I'm low MB3.
Prankster Encore is evil. There should be a great taboo against using it, like tapping into the dark side of the force.
Whimsy is too bulky. They should remove exactly 2 defence points and add it to her speed instead
>>59409650>Garchomp used Earthquake
https://youtu.be/nY3KX4nYujU?si=ke6uqdoB74agcoq8 GUYS!!!
>>59410349Glad to see he finally got a win after all the bullshit in Pocket.
>>59410152>I don't really want to move in Pokemon from Home in case they end up getting trapped on Champions somehowIt's fine, it's just a little awkward to send them back:-open Champions-go to recruit-click send back to Home>but wait you're still not done for some reason-now open Home-hit the Champions buttan bottom right (on mobile it's in Options?!)-now you can get them back and move them to another game
I started playing go to get shitmons to trade off and I'm playing it more than champions lel. I'm too underpowered for this new event so I'm just going to ignore for the week, I don't want to get addicted to this game.
>>59410372>I don't want to get addicted to this game.Haha...
I wish all rainfaggots a very shit weekend
>>59410379I'm a sandnigger at heart but rain is fun
>>59410381>rain is funextremely low iq detected
>fastest prankster taunt user is WhimsicottFucks sake
>>59410379Yeah the worst thing about rain is that it invalidates off meta teams but doesn't stand a chance against standard ones. It's the ultimate crab in bucket noob playstyle
What do you do against mimikyu in singles?
>>59410398
>>59410389Run a Taunt Whims and invest into speed?
>>59410398Pray that Iron Head flinches it. In theory multi-hit attacks break the disguise on the first hit, but what're you gonna do, Dual Wingbeat it?
>>59410403Then I just speed tie with the other Whimsy. May as well just use Tailwind
>>59410389Talonflame
>>59410434Talonflame tailwind so your Whim can outspeed his Whim and taunt it? Genius.
>put Unaware Cleffable on my team as a Mega Staraptor counter>have not seen a single shit bird on the last 15 matchesim going insane
>>59410442No, you just kill Whim with Dual Wingbeat (90% of the time)
>>59410398Mold Breaker ignores Disguise
>>59410469Whimsicotts can run 29 evs in def to survive the dual wingbeat. Will they? Most likely not, but its worth knowing.
>>59410125>stealth rock>spikes>toxic spikeswow great skill expression there too
>>59410508A Max HP investment will survive a Dual Wingbeat, most just don’t run it
>>59410510None of those are real in 3v3.
>>59409912>casual battles>in the ranked stadiumCope and Sneed
Should I breed a shiny Gardevoir and get its badges Y/N?
Newfag here: how easy is it to grind points in the battle pass? Can I finish it before it ends?
>>59410510If your opponent is able to get all of these up you should stick to the mainline games kek
>>59410518yes, just grind game.
>>59410524Does winning/losing matter?
>>59410516>breed a shiny GardevoirSounds like a lot of work when you can just get one within 5 minutes in the ZA dlc plus the time it takes to roll a psychic/fairy sparkling level donut
>>59410534Anon could go do something productive for 30 minutes and just leave his controller AFK at a bench instead of getting the DLC & banking on RNG.
Just beat that jogger with the minimize overqwil after beating a perish trap n****r, one taunt and their bitch ass playstyle fell apart
Fraudganium lol
Scumbreon will always be the scumbag king, f milotic, f toxapex, f perish trap n****rs, can't outscumbag the scumbreon
I just started playing yesterday so i dont know how this worksI reached ultraball in singles and unlocked additional box space, will i get more space if i also reach ultraball in doubles?
>>59410551No, the boxspace increase only happens once when you rank up to a new Ball tier.
>>59410070The Play Rough experience
>opponent's Volcarona String Shot under Trick RoomUltra Ball rank 1 is a mad house
Prankster rage power/follow me when
>>59410467Choice Scarf Aurorus also works well. I've frozen so many stupid edgy birds before they even got the chance to set up.
Can I move pokemon I got in Champions to home?
>>59410567No.
>>59410569Are they just digital monsters so to speak?
>>59410573Indeed, you cannot pocket them.
>>59410566I'm looking into it and it does looks interesting. Is Freeze Dry 4x effective on Pelipper?
>>59410575
>>59410578It sure does, but I'm not sure you'd OHKO a Mega Staraptor with Freeze Dry.
Smogon singles is so boring compared to VGC, I hate how I need to waste a teamslot on a rapid spinner most the time and their counciltrannies ban stuff that isn't even a problem like tera blast when they should've just banned the cancerous abusers, everyone knows that frosmoth is gonna tera into a ground type to get past heatran and that polteageist will turn into a fighting type for darkies.
>>59410590Brother you're seething over nothing. Stop letting them take space in your brain.
>>59410593>>59410590Yep, don't really think about Smogon ever, but I do think about Showdown since that's the way to do actual tourney prep.
>accidentally bring dubs team to singles game>win anyway
>>59410596I'm very grateful for Showdown, that shit's totally rad. There are so many formats to play. FOR FREE.
If indeedee gets in the game, I unleash the Ice Spinner mega Starmie
>>59410599>single post>double digitsYou just can't stop this mad lad.
>>59410588Just took a quick look at the calculator and I can only OHKO a mega staraptor with a Blizzard + Never-melt Ice. This would only work if I managed to fake out the staraptor turn one. If he protects then I'm dead since a single Close Combat will make Aurorus go extinct again
>>59410612Strange, I OHKO Mega Staraptor all the time with Blizzard. Maybe I've been facing birds with no defensive investment.
cant stand this mfing mouse with kings rock
Post the bro who carried you to master ball but just doesn't cut it at the higher level, this guy walls garchomp, heavy slams whimsicotts and gives team-mates substitutes while always ready to lend a Helping Hand but unfortunately seems dead weight past 1700
>>59410516I would breed a shiny gardevoir
>stalled at 1800s for a bit>start starting mega lopunny over Ychu more often>reach 1900
>>59410564Anon…
To bypass the limoted music problem, I just play hardstyle playlists on Spotify while playing
>>59410614I might try it out later, but it feels fragile in my head desu.Another idea I had was to replace Venusaur/Torkoal with M-Froslass/Meowscarada. That would cover M-Starapor and Pelipper teams, kinda...
>>59410564wtf am i reading
>>59410629>>59410638It would let you redirect fake out
NEW CANCER JUST DROPPEDminimize all over the place.already face a:>mega starmie with a whole gang to support it>overqwill with galade psy up
>>59410641>she doubles downanon, I...
>>59410642I faced an overqwil fag before, got lucky with azu hitting it with a +6 play rough, next time i see an overqwil player im doing the After You Taunt thing I use against Perish Trap teams
>>59410636While Aurorus is fragile it's usually a pokemon people stay in on because why would you be afraid of a slow retarded long necked dinosaur? Then it moves first. Also it's good for switching in on Mega Staraptor if you're predicting a Brave Bird.
>>59410642I would simply squish them with Supercell Slam
I forgot to mention that Choice Scarf Aurorus also pelts Charizard Y out of the sky.
>>59410653I see the vision, better SpA and defensea than ninetails and has the stats not to take too much from whim but maybe a focus sash or chople Berry would be better incase they tailwind first
>>59410653I'm a retard, I forgot you mentioned Choice Scarf. Yeah that could work. Now I just need to hunt for a dinosaur
>>59410642Just froslass em??? So many attacks bypass accuracy and even double damage minimizers
>>594106661 star rock hyper space holes my man
why not picrel with scarf?
>>59410678That dude ain't hard son.
I have mega raptor, whimsicott, rain and garchomp fatigue and my Ychu just isn't cutting it anymore, got a kanghaskhan if you need one for a TR team or something
If you're running Timid +32 Aurorus then you're KOing my Zard set just 37.5% of the time.Modest Aurorus would do it 87.5% of the time, but that underspeeds Garchomp even with scarf.I am complelely unafraid of Aurorus, it needed power gem.
>>59410694I wholeheartedly agree. The times that Zard Y survived Ancient Power with a sliver of HP have crushed me. Would your Zard Y set survive a Stone Edge off a Timid Aurorus? Maybe I should try that.
hospitality should work only once per game, or nerf it to 15%
>>59410702I'm still upset it isn't called 'hos(tea)(pal)ity'.
>>59410705The other tea has a unique tea time move
>>59410705Or Hospitali-tea
>>59409904>I didn't pull anythingUse the GTS in Pokemon Home, you retard.Even if you have no other Pokemon games, you can catch shitmons in GO and trade them.
>taunt toxapoz>opp forfeitsGo back to BSS with that bs
>>59410534Is that why some shinies are so common now?I saw a shiny Victreebel on the GTS the other day and I could have gotten it, but I first decided to see what other people were asking in exchange for Victreebel and the fucking shiny was more common on there than the normal mon.
>>59410708I just read about it, seems like a fun move.
>>59410542>minimize overqwilReal men play Acupressure Overqwil.
>>59410721its its available in ZA, legit shinies are extremely common and easy to get. like <10 minutes
just had a guy on smogon tell me perish trap has the highest skill ceiling
>>59410467In my experience, max SpA Eelektross can one-shot Staraptor with Thunderbolt if you get a Trick Room off so you can strike before Staraptor boosts his SpD with Close Combat.
>>59410730He tell you that while you were sucking his cock?
>>59410727Wow, that sucks. What was TPC thinking?>People with hacked switches are just going to gen shinies anyway, so we might as well give them out like candy to legit players also
>>59410738The DLC can be metagamed in weird ways that are at least somewhat unintended. The thing that really makes them easy is they don't despawn, but without the save exploits you can do, the game at least somewhat makes you work for it.
>encounter the one guy running giga drain on mega scovillain>but I'm the one guy running shadow ball on sinistchaHe killed my primarina with grass and mawile with overheat, so it wasn't enough to kill me and I two shotted since it was weak
>>59410745also to add onto this, they seem to be pivoting to making marked shinies the actual prestige thing, and with legends only having alpha marks, personality marks are still really hard to come by
>>59410730It takes a bit to get used to playing but there's so many scumbag teammates and moves availiable to protect Gengar that it probably won't take long till you start farming points quickly up the ladder, it's telegraphed and obvious af tho and many players are prepared for it
>>59410730its an old wolfe quote lol
Based no-context quote poster.
>tfw win but didn't win in the way you wantedI really should've got Lopunny to use After You on Ceruledge to bitter blade the +2 gambit instead of letting lopunny take damage
>misty terrain whimsicottThat's a clever sleep workaround
>click matcha gotcha>opponent hard switches into swampert>gets ohko>the battle has ended due to a forfeitthats my daily done for the day i guess
>>59410688Sent
Im so fucking tired of sinistcha
>>59409494>has a 5th move in the animeThey need to do it in the game, too.
>>59410532Doesn't matter for vp or the battlepass point thing. Losses drop your ranking a little but you only drop tiers, not balls.
>get a Pidgey through Wonder Trade>always check if there's anyone who wants any of the shitmons I get in Wonder Trade, just in case>someone is actually offering a Sinistcha for a Pidgey>I already have a Sinistcha in Champions and also don't use him, but I know he's a high-demand mon>trade Pidgey for Sinistcha, then trade Sinistcha for ScovillainWonder Trade works out sometimes.
>>59410853>tfw balls never drop
>>59410870
>>59409905Doesn't zardY ohko maggron with any of the usual fire moves
>>59410878That's zardX
>m-blaziken used detect and gets +1 Speed>oh shit>high jump missSomething something "Not 100% then it's 50%" something
>>59410878Most of the time I have some EVs into SpDef and Farigiraf had Light Screen up too which helped
>>59410884I have been hitting my 90acc moves way more this season than I did the first 2.I'm due for some atrocious luck soon.
Game's fun but all these endless battles made want to play a normal pokemon game again to slowly capture and train pokemon. I guess it's time to download pokemmo again
>delphox is honest shadow rider, I would NEVER use shadow riderok justin tang
>>59410888I would pick CC any day of the week. 10 less BP and debuff is fine as long as move is reliable to connect
