How do I fight Mega Mawile guys? I can't deal with this shit.
Anonymous
>>15675071 My Gliscor can usually deal with Mawile.
You'll need something with Physical Bulk and Earthquake, I don't know how fire types fare against her because I don't use them, but her SpDef is lower than her Def so a fast fire type might OHKO her

>>15675242 My Volcarona usually OHKO MegaMawi.

>>15675071 Aegislash/eviolite Doublade can pretty easily set up on it, especially if sucker punch is its only dark move.

I just wish I wasent so busy so i could IV breed some more pokes. I am still using some story mons in my team cause im just learning how to IV breed, so sometimes I get challenged and go in with a team of barley ready pokemon. Though I do enjoy trapping support or set up pokemon with Shadow Tag Gothitelle and completely setting up substitute and calm mind when it works

I forfeit when the battle seems pointless. What's the point of wasting either of our time? You are getting the win. I am not D/Cing, even though that counts as a loss now.

But I'm talking about when their last pokemon is down to 8% life, they know the outspeed move is coming, and the forfeit. What the fuck is the point? You saved us no time and robbed me of my victory strike.

>people who forfeit literally one turn away from loosing I do that because, for one thing, it pisses people like OP off, and for another, there's no point in trying to salvage a sinking ship. I know my losses when I see them.

>>15676373 no its not, in fact the opposite is true. delaying the game when its clearly over is considered disrespectful
go watch any starcraft match and count how many times someone actually destroys the opponent's entire base

>>15676373 That's retarded. If I know I'm going to lose, and he knows I'm going to lose, and no matter what I do will count as a loss anyway, why NOT forfeit?

>>15676397 Its just annoying.
its been a problem sense [insert age you started playing pokemon] when you were going to win a battle against "that" friend and he just quits when he knows you are going to win.
It just doesnt feel like you actually won until you actually win.
I also dont think it counts as a win if someone forfeits or disconnects.

What does an illegal move mean on showdown? I was trying to follow the smogon guide for hydreigon and it says superpower is illegal now. What's up with that?

A single turn in Pokemon is measured in seconds. You're not saving anyone's time, you're just being bitter about the loss.

6v6 is just easy, it's not even close to difficult to have answers to just about anything spread across 6 pokemon.
