>Tfw your online team keeps getting steamrolled by trainers with all shiny teams with perfect IVs and its always a combination of the same 20 Smog aproved Pokemon.

>Tfw the only time you win is when they rage quit after a successful confuse ray from a brightpowdered perfect speed IV/EV crowbat. (legit)

Why?

Is it because crowbat?

Or is it because I dont breed until I get perfect IV's?

>mfw I just PokeGen for perfect IVs because everyone else does

I can't be assed to tediously grind just to catch up to other hackers. IVs are a completely broken mechanic.

Well, there's "crowbat". There's also the caps and periods in greentext, and the fact that you're either too lazy too breed or too stupid to RNG/pokegen, but if you're running Confuse Ray AND Brightpowder with Crobat, you're doing it wrong. You're relying on luck, and besides, if you keep getting stomped by players, it can't be because you're good.

Go and play on a simulator before playing Random Matchup and dedicating your time to properly breed and train shit. I use pokemon online to test my teams, and PS to ladder, post replays and get some quality battles. And it's not about using "Smogon aproved" pokes, my OU team has only two OU pokes and it does incredibly well, considering I'm not even that good at singles, and one of those pokes is Specs Dragonite anyways.

I dunno, I have won some games versus all shiny teams, with not perfected IV Pokemon (but EV trained) and surprisingly my crobat with toxic it have become one of mi MVP for crushing semi legendaries (or at least softening them for my revenger...) but when I get destroyed (usually by not shinies) it's completely pathetic

Your Pokemon are soulless monsters.

>>12450686
Yeah, but there teams are created to have as little weakness as possible and have the highest win ratio. Thats fine and all, but do they really have to shit all over the free battle?

Why not just play ranked?

Do you even Mewtwo Strikes Back? Artificially created Pokemon should be treated equal like natural ones!

I know how to use pokegen. Also its not "Luck" if the odds are more in your favor then if they are against. Bright Powder and confuse ray give me a chance of dodging the first hit more then 50% of the time.

Crobat is actually one of the better pokes I have, but thats not the point. more then 75% of the time when I start with him the other player rage quits. So I dont even bother using him usually.

Most of 'smogon-approved' sets are just using common sense give or take 2 moves.

Also one could argue the one that makes their 'bro' is better than the guy that has to breed through 50 mon for one with good IVs.

The worst part is that most Smogon sets are standard, so obviously, in order for your team to work properly, you need to make some changes to the smogon sets. People believe competitive playing is just taking sets and copypasting them from smogon, but the odds of finding a competent team of copypaste smogon OU are pretty low.
