>>16716030 This is a tournament over what will be the Christmas Holiday for most folks on /vp/. It will start on December 20, and rounds will occur every 2 days, until it has completed.
The rules for this double elimination tourney are simple.
1. You have a team of 6 pokemon, but the actual battle is 3v3. Finals will be 4v4.
2. Pokemon on your team must all share a chosen type. Your type will be made public. Megas that change type are valid for ALL possible type teams.
3. Flat rules. So no special pokemon
4. Matches are best out of 3 battles. Substitutions are limited to your team of 6, but are allowed.
5. Be as assholish and dastardly as you want to be. There are no bans on any pokemon or moves, aside from the legendaries, as per flat rules.
6. Disconnects will count as draws, unless the players decide to redo that particular battle. Having a record of repeated disconnects may result in a disqualification.
7. Unplayed rounds count as a loss. More rules on this forthcoming
8. Mons obtainable in gen 6 only. This shouldn't actually be an issue though, as everyone should have their teams assembled before pokebank is up and running.
9. NO SIMULATORS! Let's do this all through the 3DS and then post up the battle videos for everyone to watch!
10. There are no prizes. If you hack to predict moves, all you're doing is cheating yourself out of any sort of real victory here. This is for fun.
Preliminary registration form is HERE:

We have 100+ entry's. Who will prevail?

Feels good man, I'm ready for this Gym Leader tournament AND the next one.

>>16745402 i wanted a 5 IV gogoat. The thing has the most HP out of any grass type, learns horn leach, and has good type coverage and recovery.
Only downside is being slow as hell and not having stellar actual defenses. Absorbing grass attacks entirely is another plus.
Some would also put "It's also got bad defensive typing" in there but that seems like a silly assertion.
He also learns aerial ace, something nice for dealing with other grass types and evasion spammers.
tl;dr: He's baaaaaaadass.

darkfag here again Now I got 7 pokemon and I don't know who to trim out - mandibuzz (main defensive one) - sableye (annoyer and burner) - bisharp (got really damn good this gen) - greninja (delicious coverage) - hydreigon (great attacker but doesn't have much coverage) - ttar (ground/rock coverage) - houndoom (fire coverage and a bug/fairy neutrality) ;__;
Anonymous
>>16745993 From all of those, I'd say either Houndoom or Bisharp. They both have are neutral to Bug and Fairy, so it comes down to what coverage you need. Fire would be more important for coverage than Steel, but you can always give Hydreigon Fire Blast to cover that angle. If you aren't using Mega TTar though, then I'd say go with Mega Houndoom.

>>16745993 personally, and this is just me, i'd drop houndoom. hydreigon covers a lot of his bases, and bisharp is better for fighting fairies

Quoted By:
>>16746167 You've already got one poke that easily covers your bug weakness in TTar, so your main concern should really be Fairies. Bisharp has better offensive presence against them, yes, and gives you a lot of other viable resistances as well as a second physically offensive Poke, but gives you a second Poke with 4x weakness to Fighting. Houndoom overall deals better with Steel types, and allows you to give difference coverage to Hydreigon, but gives you another Poke weak to Rock and Water.
It's a toss-up, really, between just those two. The attraction of Mega Houndoom's higher stats, though, might tip the scales, especially that Speed stat, which your team sorely lacks. Mega Houndoom also has the excellent advantage of outspeeding Mega Lucario so long as you pick a +Spd nature - since Mega Lucario WILL destroy your team, consider that.

Also, Houndoom can learn Sludge Bomb, helping you deal with Fairies in that regard.

Quoted By:
>>16745993 I feel like it goes without saying that Mandibuzz, Sableye, TTar, and Smogfrog all deserve a spot on that team.
Since it's a monotype tourney, I would definitely bring Bisharp to stop Fairy teams.
Then it's Hydreigon and Houndoom, two of my personal favorite Pokemon.
If I'm being unbiased, though, MegaDoom has been an absolute tank for me in online battles.
He's constantly mowing teams down, I feel he is severely underrated. Plus, he gives you added insurance against Bug AND Fairy teams, and provides a fast attacker where your team is rather slow otherwise

Question Can you fuck around with the movesets/items based on who you're fighting next? example,say you use a hyperoffense espeon one round and then get paired with a steel type user. Could you set up said espeon as a dual screener for that round?
1891-2279-0345
>>16752699 Moves n' items are supposed to be set for the entirety of the tourney. Dunno how they'll enforce that, though.
Anonymous
>>16752699 Short answer:
No
Long answer:
Gym leaders don't change their movesets and items to suit their needs against different challengers. The reason why they're gym leaders in the first place is because their teams are well-rounded enough to be able to deal with most threats without changing it around.

>>16753384 Only one guaranteed on it right now is Drain Punch. Leaning on bullet punch for muh priority. Probably ZHeadbutt for the secondary stab. Been leaning on ice punch for the final move since literally nothing else I have gets that coverage unless someone lands hp ice
1891-2279-0345
>>16753443 It looks like you've got Steel covered with Megacham n' Malamar, at the very least. I think Delphox's best niche in your team would be as an anti-Bug 'mon, since your only counters to them right now are Blood Totem's neutrality and possibly Fire Punch on Megacham.
If you drop anyone, I'd drop Espeon. I don't expect many entry hazards to be thrown around for it to Bounce back, and you could always use Totem as a status absorber.

Out of Lelphoxs egg moves which ones are worth getting? I have a feeling its too frail to run wish effectively and hypnosis is an unreliable fucker.

>>16753949 Timid for the speed, you'll have Overheat for the power.
I'd go Will-o-Wisp over Hypnosis (can also work as a pseudo-screener with that n' Light Screen). Magic Coat is an option if you trust your prediction. So basically:
-Overheat
-Filler offensive move
-Will-o-Wisp
-Light Screen/Magic Coat

So since our whole team is based around one type, would it be best to have every pokemon with a move of its type for STAB or have some pokemon with lots of different moves that aren't the same type as it is for coverage?

Since you guys seem to be knowledgeable about monoteams I want to ask, how does one build such a team? Do you look through your type's weaknesses and try to cover as many of them as possible or are there other criteria? I want to breed a mono-Ice team, but I'm not sure how I should start.
Anonymous
>>16771801 Ice is doomed from the start, I suspect.
But for starters, I would just look up whats OU on Smogon for your type, and start from there.

In this type of tournament, surprise is key. You can't just use standard builds. Other types will wreck you. You need to use Pokemon in weird ways.

I'm using Ice just because I wanted to show how Ice could be cool (ahr ahr), but it is really a doomed type. With other types you can try to cover weaknesses, with Ice you're pretty much fucked.
If you feel like you're a real man though you should try.
1891-2279-0345
>>16771801 Preferably, pick a type that doesn't have many weaknesses: Water, Ghost, Dark, Steel, Electric, etc. Then it's just a matter of picking 'mons that can deal with not only their weaknesses, but also whatever resists your chosen type; Electric would need ways to deal with Ground, other Electrics, and Grass, for example.

In any case, how does Avalugg/Walrein/M-Obamasnow/Mamoswine/Froslass/Rotom-Frost sound?
Fight/Dark types seem threatening, because nothing resists their stabs, not like any Ice type can. Walrein's there to deal with Fire, as it's the only one that resists it. I'm not sure if it's better off with Ice Body for extra healing or Thick Fat for an effective resistance.
If I stick Hail on a few members it could pull through with some Snow Cloak shenanigans, but it's still hoping for hax.
Is there anything else I should consider? Maybe test the team on a simulator?
