Predictions for Louisville
Mence and Zard make a comeback, Zomp doesn’t make finals, sun rain dives off a cliff. Floette MIA. Zard Pex pop off. A bit of psyspam milotic here and there

>>59651625
I think Zard will remain under 20% usage.
I think Mence will continue to perform worse than its usage rate which will be somewhere around 20%.
ChompZ will be on 15% of teams and Raichu is going to have 30% of teams with a slightly positive conversion rate.
Regular Chomp with scarf is going to be on a fair amount of teams.

have you apologized for calling him useless yet?

winning team will be raichu starraptor gholdengo

>>59651981
any pokemon player who thought a 151 speed pokemon with good defensive typing, respectable bulk, huge coverage movepool and 140 spatk was going to be "useless" should retire and start playing checkers

>>59651986
In a meta without Ass Vest too, mind you

Can Typhlosion do anything yet?

>>59652079
wait for tera fire

>>59651986
I thought lucarioZ would be the z mega who defies the doubters cause of its abilty, i guess coverage is king and lucario is pretty lacking in that department, at least he has set up and psych up cheese going for him

>>59652105
I look at Lucario as a mixed attacker version of Scizor: a lot going for it, but exclusive type coverage. Sucks too because the dog hits with Fighting STAB

>>59651761
Really? I was thinking Kommo-o for rock and water resist plus good STABs.

3 games today my Lopunny and Dragonite miss crucial Triple Axels and Rock Slides on mega mence, Yard costing me the game. I switch to my Mawile/Swampert team, Mawile misses Play Rough on Zomp. What a birthday, I'm done.

>cinderace learns sucker punch
wtf why

>>59652105
Issue is that there's so much stuff that can hit it for neutral or super effective damage that doesn't make contact especially since it became available alongside the return of psyspam. Maybe if it was all Physical moves or they just committed to making it hit hard with Mega Launcher. Lucario Z isn't bad in doubles though, just fairly niche.

>>59652105
>i guess coverage is king and lucario is pretty lacking in that department, at least he has set up and psych up cheese going for him
No it isn't?

>>59652152
idk how anyone plays triple axel users without having a stroke

>>59652152
Triple Axel, the move that becomes aerial ace when the opponent uses it but becomes inferno when you use it, might as well use ice punch, only a small chance to ohko no investment megamence however with megapunny

>After You Choice Scarf Indeedee with Torkoal
I either win in two turns or lose embarrassingly but it's fun to hit the funny button.

>>59652105
having a resist ability and still dying to a good stab without some investment is a hard sell might as well be naked

Put it next to a helping hand user and it can just blitz through teams, being able to move first and hit things super effectively is too good

>>59652142
Go with your idea first. The only thing I'd stand by hard in my post is Giga Drain Volc, but coverage alone does not make for good switch ins.

>>59652196
>>59652208
I'm running the CybertronVGC team with Lopunny/Gardevoir. I honestly have considered just running Ice Punch atp for the sake of having some consistency, but I'm stubborn. The aerial ace/Inferno comparison is super apt

>>59651802
I was trying to brainstorm Slurpuff with Alakazam or some other psyspammer. After you, string shot or cotton spore for things you can't outspeed that aren't Sneasler, sweet scent to mitigate focus miss, fake tears for things that don't get instakilled by expanding force or coverage, endeavor to put things into range of being nuked, yawn, light screen, rain dance. People complained that Slurpuff lost belly drum but it still has a ton of options for support. It only needs a little investment to outspeed a max speed invested Mega Garchomp Z. You basically can't outspeed Sneasler, Venusaur and whatever random already fast shit with a scarf. Definitely slept on.

If they're gonna keep Return removed, at least give Lopunny Feint or Body Slam/Crush Claw. Or just bring back Return but make it exclusive to normal types

>>59652235
I'm thinking Ttar, Volcarona, Kommo-o, Gholdengo, Salamence and Rillaboom.

>>59651612
If the guy i was talking to earlier is still here and willing to trade a Golisopod, I got my pokemon home connection now and I can do the trade whenever you're ready

>>59652278
I think they should give crush claw back to Kangaskhan. Kangaskhan needs something and it's less broken than power up punch since it's only 50%, has a chance of missing, is single target and isn't a self buff so it won't snowball and the enemy can switch out.

I don't necessarily think return needs to come back but there's so many normal moves they should buff like double hit. Dual wingbeat gets to be 40 power. They buffed slash to 80 they can buff double hit to 45. They can bring back chip away and buff it to darkest lariat or sacred sword levels. Comet punch, fury swipes, fury attack or double slap to bone rush or bullet seed levels. Bring back dizzy punch and buff it to 90 power. Buff mega kick accuracy to 80 or 85.
>mega punch, retaliate and strength aren't in the game
>all of these were in Scarlet Violet
That's weird. Mega punch is dogshit and worse than strength in every way but still. While I'm there tri attack should just be buffed to 100 power too to have a use over braindead hyper voice spam.

They're scared shitless of buffing normal moves because everything learns them and because of -ate abilities but they can limit coverage to normal types and away from -ate abilities. No one runs normal coverage on non normal types so it's a non issue. I have never seen raw double edge, hyper voice, or body slam on a non normal type.

pawmot forgotten...

Something like this. https://pokepast.es/fc97733f614d99be

How stupid is flash fire armorouge with ally switch to try and bait people into attacking pod with a fire move and get a free boost?

>>59652387
Golisopod use is going to fall off a cliff once Heatran drops isn't it? Right now people are in the hard bargaining phase trying everything to make it work.

>>59652401
My main problem feels like heatwave honestly but then armorouge also learns wide guard but I also don't know if people would heat wave into a flash fire user.

>>59652387
It'd work against me in CTS and play games with my mind in OTS and i'm sure you'd goob many others with that strat, I personally like the idea of magic powder support hatterene with mega pod

Hate to say that I was hating on venusaur.
The frog is legit to a point that the mega seem worse than the normal version.

>>59652490
Too much venasaur disrespect this reg, chlorophyll sleep powder spam is still as annoying as ever

after enough golurk games the conclusion is holy fuck bring back ursaluna

An underrated aspect of Soak is removing STAB from opposing mons basically being a pseudo parting shot that doesn't switch you out or give milotic/gambit boosts

>>59652401
I would like to trade for a Golisopod if anyone around has one

>>59652515
You using Golurk or Golurk being used against you?

>>59652525
Who's a good Soak user?

>>59652678
Not the guy you're replying to but I would imagine Bellibolt or Pelliper are the most common Soak users

>>59652678
In trick room araquanid, bellibolt is an option but you need to either overlap with another electric or get it in when the opponent has 2 mons left, theres also grappaloct but no wide guard kinda makes it a bit outclassed by araquanid in the soak role.

Outside of trick room, scarf pelipper/basculegion next to Ychu or something, you could probably take advantage of tailwind being pretty underused this reg with a tailwind pelipper ev'd to outspeed mega eelektross, rillaboom is an option to take advantage but special attackers are better for soak shenanigans cause intimidate doesn't effect them

>>59652709
This is another one of things where
>if we only had X, I would wreak havoc with it
>but the strategy would be obvious and so everyone would do it
In this case it's a Soak user fast enough to outspeed Raichu, even if scarfed, followed by Zap Cannon blowing any single target into dust

>>59652925

seems meowstic just fell off when people remembered dark types exist

>>59653305
I'm gonna keep it real, that regional was full of like 95% retards, anything could have succeeded in that shit

>>59653329
true, you could've easily gotten top 8 you just chose not to

>>59653022
Knock off is an amazing move but in this Mega format?

>>59653428
most megas that are weak to knock off really don't want to take that hit coming off a base 165 atk STAB user even without the bonus damage, the utility against every non-mega easily makes up for it

>>59653494
depends, does the rest of your team have strong checks against fairies? (probably the most important steel target since ice doesn't resist leech life and rocks can be hit SE with most of his coverage options anyway)

if yes you can feel much more comfortable dropping it, but if not you lose a lot of pressure against some important targets

You have to fly out to these things, take time off work, book hotels, eat out and take Ubers around though. Just doesn't seem like a good investment of money or time. I'm surprised he's even allowed to enter more competitions for the rest of the season after already winning.

yap yap yap

>>59653816
Haven't you ever looked at the top cuts of these tournaments in previous years? First place winners go on to play in other regionals all the time. The tickets to the upcoming ones sell out way before you find out if you win the one you're at (I'm so mad I wasn't paying attention to the registration date and didn't sign up before Vegas regionals sold out). If you win a regional you are still want to win another one not just for the prizes but you can get a way better spot at the world championship too.

Why do you sometimes get more than 300 vp for a win?

>>59653832
Longer matches give you more VP. It's a small pittance for the amount of VP that could have been earned playing more shorter matches.

>>59653737
>Both Levitate megas were much better than the two other members from their trio despite /vp/ complaining about Levitate being bad

Wolfe jobbed 6-3... again...

Guys we have to just face the facts guys. Wolfe was never that good.

>>59654512
It's the fact that he called himself the greatest player ever for a long time in his videos so everyone enjoys watching him get humbled.

when's wolfe playing

wolfe won

Golisopod fucking DESTROYED Wolfe.

I'm not sorry about that crit that won me the game to get into mb even though i played like a complete bot the whole match, that's what you get for using such a faggot mon like gholdengo

>>59654753
Silvally needs to hold an item to change its type, right? What can it really do with base 95 across the board?

>bringing the sceptile rotom h gimmick to a tournament
Pretty impressive he had a positive winrate desu

>>59655036
I think Phillip Wingett would have been the last notable player to bring that to a tournament.
Very bold.

>>59655036
Why is he pairing it with sand though

Mega Sceptile has lightning rod which you can trigger with your own discharge from rotom h

>>59655043
Probably discharge + lightning rod

>>59655043
Rotom H is scarfed, it uses discharge to activate Mega Sceptile's lightning rod and Sceptile is a historical speed demon so it then KO's something with +1.
Not a super good strategy even back then, but it does work sometimes none of the time.

Do you think Sceptile actually came to any games where it did what it was supposed to?
I'd think its Raichu Matchup is good in theory.

>>59654779
>mega bax with volc and sitrus swamp
wtf i'm suing

>>59655040
he's been bringing sand all year for whatever reason

>>59654616
He makes too much money off jewtube to ever stop competing.

>>59655081
I do appreciate his tournament vids, the other stuff is just slop content

>>59655086
>>59655116
Poketubers shit out a lot of TOP 10 BEST THING clickbait vids but somehow Wolfes are way less entertaining than others.

>>59655149
His autism is preventing him from making a video where he isn't reading off a script

Mence's fall off needs to be studied

>>59655059
I think it was supposed to be his answer for Raichu, Salamence and Garchomp. It can outspeed modest Mega Garchomp Z which most run.

>>59655149
hop off my goat jimothy

>>59655086
his 2nd channel meta videos were the best things he ever made. Did he begin locking them behind his patreon or did he just stop doing them all together for his WatchMojo content?

Anyone else notice a sudden increase of heavy hitting Pelippers recently, I've seen a few too many Life Orb birds recently

>>59655334
having a delete incineroar/rillaboom button is nice and iirc pelipper doesn't quite get there without lorb

>lose a game to a 10% para chance costing me a vital protect

perfectly balanced

>>59655334
they just go max spA now that they started running sash

hurricane is not 70% accurate, I refuse to believe it
that shit misses literally EVERY single time I try to use it without rain up. every time.

Based and turtle pilled. Scarf solar power Heliolisk is pretty interesting.

>>59655569
He made it to day 2 he has to be doing something right. I can't imagine he just went Charizard, Venusaur, Garchomp and Gholdengo or Farigiraf ALL matches. I just don't understand what Watchog does. It has no sash it's basically naked with 60/69/69 bulk. That is 85 attack boosted by 30% by the ability. Who does it kill with low kick and ice punch? At 77 speed it's not slow enough to be proper trick room. Most of the time you can sort of see what someone is going for with meme teams.

what's the deal with the sceptile/rotom heat/glimmora/hippowdon team I keep seeing on ladder?

it's not the wolfey team cause no ttar exca

>>59655562
I didn't even notice it when I took the screenshot. That is a special Mega Swampert.

>>59655589
I've noticed a lot of scarf chomps running earth power over stomping/EQ, this is probably the same idea

the intimidate spam and lack of earth power users is just that dire that people are resorting to shit like this

>>59655597
If I had to guess it's anti Garchomp (including scarf) and Salamence tech too. It outspeeds all of them in rain.

I found the base Mega Garchomp teams. This one looks pretty standard.

>>59655627
Or rather it's a standard set for Z but for some reason is using the normal one instead that has weaker special attack and is significantly slower. Maybe he screwed up the stones and went with it anyways.

I agree, it's a shame

>>59655649
32 attack adamant stab terrain boosted with either life orb or miracle seed

>>59655649
Can you believe it used to be 30% stronger before?

>>59655663
>55*1.5*1.3*1.2=128.7
