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.

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.

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. Only available on Switch for now.
>Is anything locked behind a paywall?
So far everything gameplay relevant is also purchasable with VP. Only E-Floette require ZA transfer.

Speed is such an odd thing. I feel like since delphox/zard are super meta and strong, I would want to pick something faster than them - but at the same time neither of those comps commonly run tailwind, so I could maybe just run anything almost with tailwind?

I haven't played a real pokemon game since fire red on GBA so I never kept up with the starters but quaquaval stood out to me a lot when I rolled him. I think people are too used to anthros being thematic (delphox IIRC had a wizard theme?). Maybe WiWa will be more feral in its theming

If TPC isn't going to add new pokemon or cosmetics more frequently than every 2.5 months because "small indie company prease undastando", the LEAST they could do to keep interest is add some new limited-time game modes to the matchmaking system with the assets they do have.
Monotype, no-items, inverse battles, a mode where only the least-used half of the roster is allowed, etc.
Give the players SOMETHING new to play with every season even if it's just different ways to experience the existing content.

>>59421116
Pretty medium bulk (you can modify its defenses as its an aqua jet bot, so doesn't care too much about speed) but those mons sound like a free set up opportunity for an azumaril holding a sitrus berry if paired with a Fake Out user, maybe a grimmsnarl with taunt to stop Encore whim and set screens for azu
>>
The more I have incin on my hard TR team the more I think it's fucking useless. Intimidate is a liability against gambit, which does EXTREMELY well into hard TR. Same with milotic, but that's less common recently. It doesn't hit anything I need hit hard almost at all because mega mawile has sp. It just sticks around too long, because it's generally not safe to parting shot out into torkoal/non mega mawile because they are so fucking frail. The meta is OVER once they bring ursaluna.
>>
I never realised gourgeist was almost as fast as rotom, too slow to turn ghosts and steels into a ghost type for mega alakazam, too fast to turn darks and steels into a ghost type for hatterene under TR unless its down to their last 2 mons
>>
>>59421130
I've been seeing incin on trick room teams lately and im like "why", trick room teams are made to nuke things fast, 115 base attack simply doesn't cut it even with memes like life orb incin
>>
>>59421130
incin isn't as useful as he usually is because assault vest isn't in the game, which in turn means special attackers are overrepresented
>>
>>59421138
Also kanghaskhan is better if you need a fake out guy, that thing will murder your team if you don't take it seriously

>>59421130
I wish Hariyama was in that was the best way to set TR in early SV

I don't think I'll touch this game this season. I'm sitting on a billion tickets and money. There isn't even a battle pass that's worth playing for.
Literally 0 incentive to even make it out of pokeball this time.

What the heck, I've got one laying around.

it's stupid as fuck that basically every mon and their mom learns dark type coverage and i'm tired of pretending it's not
>>
>>59421184
I guess it's suppose to be offset by Dark-type moves having low damage? Like there's no Dark-type Close Combat or Draco Meteor or anything like that.
>>
>>59421184
This but everything learning earthquake

>>59421186
knock off is effectively 100bp (since nearly every competitive mon holds an item) AND has not just no downside but an extremely good upside

sorry bro you can't talk about reducing knock off's BP because someone will post "BUT WHAT ABOUT SCIZOR"

Dawg, Knock Off got gutted from most movepools in Champions. Be happy you're not eating Incin Knock's every other match.

This and Close Combat.
I guess Arceus thrives off of the suffering of Rock type Pokemon like the death god he is.

you can cherry pick incin or gambit if you want but like 80% of mons that could learn it still can

Is what I wanted to say but apparently in Champions fucking everything gets knock off since when does Pelliper get knock off !?

I think I'm done until Worlds gents.
It's clear to me GF isn't serious about this game. We've had singles challenge 3 months in a row and they haven't even tried doing anything they should be doing to keep players around.
A bi-weekly meme tournament would keep the base engaged.

I think the ranch system and the box mechanic just isnt conducive to having meme tournaments.
For the actual power gamer, you have swsh/sv/za available to you. It you want to make a mono ground team, you can probably get it in an hour. For the phone only playerbase, theyll bitch and cry about meme tournies
>what do you mean its monotype? I dont have enough for any team
>i dont want to join this little cup, why the fuck would i ever pick litten from the ranch when i dont have staraptor yet
I know this is all ilca's fault, and can be fixed by tweaking the ranch banner or by giving you premade teams or whatever. Im just saying we dont have the infrastructure to do the things you want right now.

That an aside, we absolutely can self host biweekly meme tournaments ourselves here in vp if we want. Right now its kind of bogged down by the monotype and draft, but if anyone else wanna pick up the slack to host and manage it, we absolutely can do it ourselves.

Yeah but it gives people an incentive to actually buy the membership if you've giving them a reason to have a large collection of pokemon.

Giving people the same format for like 3 months doesn't give them the reason to have more then 2 teams, 3 tops.

Biggest Steel type threats atm are probably Corv,Gross, Ghould and Aegislash. Maybe consider running Gengar since Shadow Ball chunks almost all of those? Only one it really fears is Aegis because of Sneak.

Have you seen that one anon a few days ago? He was as hell bent on 'rolling' the ranch even after every single person told him to stop because you still need the vp to train the mons proper.

I ended 1800 because I was disappointed it took switching to the generic Charizard team to climb 300 points out of my rut.

1812 or something close to that. I'm gonna meme in singles with a Starter squad and then maybe fuck around in Doubles with a Dragon Mono since nobody is playing that for the tournament. Probably won't switch from my current type, but who knows.

As I thought, this build turbo-fucks any pokemon that Attract actually works on. They can't do anything once Attract and Swagger are stacked.
Obviously it's gender-dependent and type-dependent (Prankster doesn't work on Dark-types, Attract and Swagger don't work on Ghost-types) but luckily I can see all that information in the pre-battle screen, even the genders of the opponents' pokemon. If they have too many non-males, I can just not bring the cat.

Not him, but the next big supposed leak is that there's 300 "new" Pokemon in terms of new mons, forms, regionals, etc.
I don't believe it but SV at least showed they're willing to do cross-gen evos again, and I'd like to think almost all of them are "successes" in GF's eyes even outside of competitive.

A lot of the Pokemon choices didn’t and still don’t make sense desu. E.g. Rhyperior is in the game but none of the other Gen 4 cross-gen evos like Dusknoir aren’t, yet the fucking elemental monkeys that are completely useless are in.

encore disable also works and is less rng than attract/swagger
>>
>>59421527
Encore+Disable requires you to take that first hit, though.
Plus I think people are more likely to keep trying (and failing) to play through the status conditions if they have a chance of doing something. Encore+Disable is going to be an immediate switch-out 100% of the time.

I’d say so. Happened to me during S2 (lost it just before getting to MB4 but won the following 2 games to get me there). I was on a 7-win streak with my team when I was playing earlier today but I’ve got a feeling I’ll lose it when I next play.

substitute - eat hit

try doing this on a corrosive salazzle so you're guaranteed toxic damage on anything they switch in. you do lose the prio tho and can be outsped

>>59421549
If there’s one thing ILCA have been doing (mostly) right, it’s been balancing the Pokemon. I think they’re aware of Indeedee F’s reputation and would find ways to nerf it by either taking away TR or possibly other support moves.

I want to try a trick room team but I don't know how to build it. I have the core setters Farigiraf and Sinistcha. I have some slow Megas like Crabominable, Aggron and Golurk. I do have an Abomasnow actually. No Torkoal no Camerupt no Oranguru. I also don't know what to put as the other Pokémon. I was thinking of trying a hybrid sand trick room team with slow Tyranitar for weather with a fast Excadrill for outside of trick room situations but my team would get raped by water types.
>>
>>59421651
you run coverage moves on the supportmons
sinistcha with matcha gotcha, lightning bolt on farigiraf to deal with swampert/pelipper so the team would be those plus excadrill and mega tyranitar
for a trick room team you might want Sylveon which deals good damage to swampert and archaludon under TR and mega scrafty for the mega? it's pretty strong

Don't make a hard Trick Room team. A hard Trick Room team is just saying "I want to play a flowchart team where I have to lead certain Pokemon and press certain buttons on turn one and my opponent knows it." It works great at low levels but once you reach the level where people know the counterplay you are walking into losses or at best 50/50s where you're rolling the dice on "will they bring the counterplay for TR lead 1 or TR lead 2?" And also while playing this flowchart team you're using Pokemon that are slower than your opponents', meaning if you ever don't get it up, you most likely lose. And also also, there is a 1 in 3 chance your opponent can just hard cuck you with double Protects and stall out TR, even if you do everything right. Don't treat TR as a weather you build your team around, treat it like speed control. If you're slower than your opponents' team, on average, set up TR. Use it to punish opposing Tailwinds. Basically just make a good team and then have Trick Room be a speed control option.

base 68 on the mega, not too slow but slower than sinistcha.

you could try those too and feel what's best for you. I like scrafty because it has double intimidate and fake out but you have chosen other solid options

nobody uses him so i wanted to use MChomp with the lowest speed lol. Ven usually never goes mega if he's in the sun... unless there's TR and i need him to tank fire and ice on the opposing team.

I tried a bunch of pulls because I had a bunch of tickets I wasn't using but only got Hatterene. Could I use that instead of Sylveon?

I'm very quickly running out of room and would actually buy the fucking starter pack if the game let me.

sylveon is pretty much irreplaceable because of pixilate hyper voice/hyper beam

When you reach this level of skill/knowledge, pokemon just turns into a 2 option rock paper scissors game, then turns into a math game once you're smarter about minmaxing stats/mons/moves to do weird shit and predict multiple turns in advance for either options, then goes back to being rock paper scissors again

It's not that there isn't a lot counterplay at this point, it's that it's a strategy that, on average loses, but has enough variance to occasionally win and when it does it just makes people mad. Like if your opponent in a closed team sheet match leads a scarf Sheer Cold user or something and gets lucky and gets two of your Pokemon on turns one and two. You're probably going to lose, through no fault of your own. Now imagine that but instead of it being a quick 3 minute game, it's 19 minutes. It's an ass-clown strategy that just exists to troll people. It's fine for single player shenanigans, but has no place in an actual competitive focused game. A better alternative would be reworking evasion moves so they give a 85% chance to dodge the next move targeted at that Pokemon, but the effect fades after a move targets the Pokemon, hit or miss. It'd be like setting up a Substitute; good if you can predict a free turn to get it up, but it doesn't just make you invincible forever.
>>
>>59422306
What's the difference between your opponent being dumb and your opponent being so smart he realizes you'll overpredict and chooses the option to punish you?

Just got the option to recruit a second charizard. Considering doing it to have one phys build for X (singles) and one spec build for Y (doubles). Same for raichu and the other Z megas once they are released. Saves me some VP. Wont be doing dupes for any other pokemon though as the VP cost is negligible. Not sure though because seeing two zards in my box will trigger my autism / OCD. Playing champions only and paid for the sub so box space is not an issue. Opinions?

Mega Mawile is a really interesting mon on Zard Y teams because it can kind of act like role compression of Gambit and Sylveon/Floette. Frees up a spot on the team to plug a potential matchup weakness.

But they don't do well. They're noob killers. They do great at Day 1 levels then job out Day 2. When was the last time you saw a TR team in the top cut of a tournament, much less win one? Your goal shouldn't be to make an X-2 team because with bad luck that becomes an X-4. Your goal should be an X-0 that with bad luck becomes X-2.

Just add more options.
Give weather and terrain abilities to more pokemons.
Give redirection moves to more pokemons

You like losing games to getting flinched 4 times in a row?
You love it when your opponent gets 3 protects in a row? Outskilled right?
You like fake out outspeeding follow me for some gay as reason?
You like weather wars?

>>59423316
why wide lens but trop kick, wouldnt power whip make more sense?
I do not like the delphox + meowstic combo on your team. I think you are better off using mega delphox with 2 attacks, encore + protect and then Male meowstic with sash fake out, psychic terrain plus two more, maybe sunny day could be better.
Mental herb grimm is kind of a meme even on low ranks. I think grim himself is fine, but on your team its sort of redundant especially since you already have meowstic, and i just dont see the value of screens. I dunno, id switch him off for another support, maybe sinistcha for switching into final gambit staraptor or something, idk
>>
>>59423316
Doesn't running psychic terrain make tsareena a tad redundant?

>>59423372
There are answers to all the things you listed in the forms of moves, abilities, items and type matchups. These answers add depth to teambuilding and decision making. Without depth this game is just pick biggest base damage move that's stab and supereffective. No decisions, no counterplay, just click big damage every turn and hope you rolled the best turn 1 matchup.

The meta rn is a bit sinched on some aspects due to the limited pokemon pool but it'll widen over time no doubt. Adding stuff like terrain setters and widening cloud nine availability would go a long way in addressing most of your concerns. Gutting all depth from the game due to a few meta mons dominating a limited format would be an insane overreaction.

I wonder how many battle passes have been sold since the game release. I guess the gooner Canari one did well but the current battle pass is the shittiest one so far.

>>59423436
It's Corbeau next season so that will certainly sell as well. The irony is when the first two BP failed to sell. Maybe players just don't like the protags

>meowstic f
well the main reason for meowstic f into mega is for the competitive boost and i dont see how you manually set it up.
>https://youtu.be/j4vrFRXK0tk?si=7DMw-G3XUu_NAmKk
this team does the wyrdeer skill swap shennanigans to give yourself the boost, and is a more psychic terrain dedicated team
>https://youtu.be/ax8FXVNwmrA?si=XnHbtF652tUEm71r
this team is more balanced with stuff like tauros and rotom
>https://youtu.be/1ESXLS7MHiU?si=iedTU9D8jKW-l_NC
and this team is just a rain team which is pretending to use meowstic for setting up rain for some strange reason. I guess its to catch staraptor? I dont really get it

literally zero tournament results for mega meowstic, so best you have is meme youtube teams.
Surprisingly the japs test it more in singles, so maybe its better there than doubles

v2 of the uu team.
Initially i wanted rotom for the charizard matchup and maybe fighting against charizard, but i just never felt comfortable bringing it in.
Switched to palafin since i realized with mystic water, you always oneshot the charizard (either helping hand jet punch or wave crash). I do lose to the solar beam though, so i need to keep that in mind

I didn't even have to switch out Liepard once.
Dude sent in Sneasler, Archaludon and M-Blaziken, constantly trying to switch out every single time I used Attract and Swagger over and over, then forfeited when his M-Blaziken he finally decided to keep in was being attract-confuse-locked by a fucking dark type hiding behind a substitute.

>>59423687
It has so many move options + a very good ability for doubles in Inner Focus, i use one with a Bold nature full HP & Defense holding Leftovers with Taunt for Trick Room and annoying redirection mons, Yawn for checkmate situations vs the opponents last mons and to disrupt, Snarl for disruption spam on overly special teams (don't make the mistake of using it on milotic and don't mindlessky click it if the opponent may have a gambit in the back) and Foul Play for fish.

Really depends on what your team needs, it has a pretty expansive doubles movepool and can forgo Protect cause the thing is super hard to take down with neutral and resisted hits, options include Moonlight for more longevity so it doesn't get chipped down too much so it can Foul Play a basculegion in the back, Helping Hand for stronger hits from teammates etc, Ceruledge is a good teammate cause it resists bug, fire and fairy
>>
>>59423569
I'm sure he did in the end
>>
>>59423687
I saw someone using it alongside mega scovillian using Spicy Spray and Umbreon using Foul Play
>>
>>59423687
You can use it on Doubles with Snarl/Foul Play/Yawn/Protect.

>>59420649
Anyone have a spare Audino? It's moveset is really slept on and it's mega might not be so bad with the chance of healing burns and paralysis that a set up mon may get, I want to Simple Beam a swords dance mega mawile in Trick Room with Ally Switch to confuse opponents or bring back gen 1 amnesia with x2 Calm Mind on something else

Dont know why they think healing status on switch is so broken it has to be put on a coinflip
Meanwhile BuyOurDLCcha Hospitality is a guaranteed HP recovery which is more immediately impactful than status heal in doubles where both abilities are used

>>59423767
To be honest most of the Pokémon you guys ask for should be pretty easy to obtain. Just put up a random fully evolved Pokémon and ask for the Pokémon you want then wait. If you ask for anything more meta that takes a little work to obtain like Archaludon, Sneasler, Kingambit, Basculegion, and Gholdengo usually you have to offer something of value.

Am I a brainlet or dragalgae is very good into basically anything in the meta? The main problem I see are swampert, so you need something that can handle both water and ground moves, and maybe metagross if it runs psychic fangs.
Garchomp too, but you might get around it undertrick room.

Like, I kinda want to run offensive whimsi just because it covers both swampert and garchomp, even if Drag is a tr mon.

>hitler has a video on it

>>59423969

>>
>>59423969
that's what I've been thinking. the mega has good bulk so as long as you keep it healthy you should barely have any problem
sinistcha checks for swampert too

maybe froslass as secondary mega or even lead with alolan ninetails

Does anyone know of a half decent toxapex team that doesn't run zard?

I'm too bad to teambuild myself and every example i've found is running zard
>>
>>59424019
you can copy whatever teams answer to rain and steels and you should be good to go. zard is the simplest one but you can run froslass, blaziken or whatever floats your boat.
>>
>>59424019
Toxapex supports and traps to allow a pivot or protect a strong sweeper. You could run about anything that does chunky damage. M-Pyroar and M-Delphox if you want to do what CharY does but be hipster about it. M-Metagross and M-Staraptor are some other options. Fill it with whatever.
