He probably won't even make the deadline.

>>18729003 >fighting team What. Type disadvantage doesn't really mean much like so many people would have you believe. Here is a quick list of top-tier Dark choices that negate the Fighting advantage:
-Sableye
-Greninja (Protean outspeed)
-Mandibuzz
-Gyarados (hold off mega)
-Malamar
-Carvanha (destiny bond)
-Spiritomb
And surface-level negations only cover a small fraction of how mono teams overcome a seeming type disadvantage.
Summary: git gud and a type disadvantage doesn't matter.

Ryan 3282-2113-3428 (Espurr, Drowzee, Xatu) Thu 03 Apr 2014 06:20:20 No. 18729076 Report >>18729044 You're mostly right. There are plenty of dark types that can help with fighting, and I have Greninja and Gyara on my team as well to help with that, as does Sparky.
But to say it doesn't matter at all is a bit
farfetched . He will have a difficult time getting past a fighting team that naturally has plenty of speedy, hard hitting attackers, with plenty of access to electric moves for gyara.
But, again, he is unlikely to even show up.

>>18729076 What's the deal with Sparky and Weebos, anyway? Are they both kill? They should just be DQ'd by this point if they don't have a definitely match time set.

Kinda surprised to see the two 1-1 people in round 5. Hopefully, next tournament, in a perfect world, it's 3-5 days a round (you should be able to spare 10 minutes of your lives for a match) and if you can't show, tough. You're out.

The first round was a much better fight than the second. I lost in the second due to the fact that I took to many chances. "Use discharge instead of icebeam and hope he earthquakes instead of switches to gastrodon." "Keep using destiny bond, he'll ice shard eventually and not notice that db is still in effect." You were the better fighter.

Some Pokemon with Sturdy have priority themselves. Also nearly all of them, or maybe all of them, are immune to Sandstorm, so that won't end your fun. Several of them are immune to Toxic and Toxic Spikes, too.

>>18736690 If last time's finals are any indication, short of huge type disadvantages, it's always a surprise who ends up beating who. Even if you knew everything about everyone's team, there is still the skill and luck factors.
Joaco has the only team this tournament that I fought that is still in the game. I'm kind of partial to him being a gym leader this time around. I mean, he has a Diggersby. I feel like he and I have that in common.
Dr. Dredikkus 5043-2124-2195 (Bug)
>>18736840 Oh for sure, I'm not counting anyone out. I mean, I don't think anyone expects me to beat Actias, or even Jack. But I'm not done yet! And I'm sure other people feel the same. This late in the tourney anything can happen.
Also, hate Diggersby.
Also, I'd pretty much expect him on a normal or ground team.
Aninymouse !guyK6p/mWE
>>18736915 Why do you hate it? When I first bought X, I thought it was the ugliest Pokemon of all time. But after I used one with Huge Power, it bacame one of my favorites.
Ask around. Many a person in this thread has cursed the day that Mrs. Diggs has foiled their plans. She's a beast.
>>18736346 My picks are:
Normal - Tavo
Water - Quad
Ground - Joaco
Bug - Actias
Dragon -Tim/Stratos
Flying - Mousaffa (sp?)
Rock - Mike
Grass - Daniel
Very tough competition coming up too. Its hard to not pick some over others.
I see it being extremely close, tho. Poison and fighting will be that close.

>>18737896 Haha, I was just teasing. I don't think I've seen any of your replays so I don't even know how good you are. I just know Actias is really great, so I just picked him over the other buggies like a fanboy.
>>18737906 Without having to use a mono team, challengers are already at an advantage. Seven people managed to beat all 8 gyms last time. I'm confident we will see several Champs this time around also, especially when you consider me and my former Gym buddies will be taking the challenge (^: (^:

Most of the champions had pretty standard smogon OU Pokemon, but definitely there were some surprises. And several people who had awesome teams just kind of ran out of time to be champion.

>A challenge is fun but rape isnt, if people keep losing, people will stop taking the challenge Well if they continually lose, then they aren't good enough to be crowned Champ, plain and simple. Again, there will be Champs, but it won't be easy, so only truly talented trainers will earn it. Not everyone gets to be Champ, that would defeat the purpose of the challenge, and destroy its fun.

>>18739409 Congratulations, Moustaffa! Off to the finals with you! Hopefully daniel and W3 won't start worshipping you, now, because it's weird.
Sorry Frisbee. You had quite an admirable run, though. Only Mike made it! Wow... If you told me that at the start of this tournament, I would never believe it, haha.

>>18739439 I can't believe how similar our teams are. 5/6 of our Pokemon are the same. And 3 out of those 5 have really similar sets.

pentaperfect nicknamed Egg Hatcher. I just keep it on that screen to count eggs. Volcarona is modeled after another silk moth. Bulbapedia says it's modeled after the Atlas moth, but I find that unlikely. The closest moth to it in Japan is Antheraea pernyi, but shiny Volcarona looks extremely similar to Eacles. Most likely it is a generic female body of a silk moth.

>>18739475 Haha yeah lol, that's why I was having a really hard time choosing who to bring.
Also I mentioned earlier that a certain move was really coming back to bite me in the butt. That was choosing Taunt over Ice Fang on Gyarados, but I'm glad that it actually kinda worked out in that last game

>>18739497 Ah. I was thinking you meant Focus Blast instead of Dragon Pulse on your Charizard.
I didn't know you had a Gyarados until our match started.

Wow man. I just watched all 3 of the Frisbee v Moustaffa matches. So intense, and right down to the wire.
Moustaffa - 2251-4855-1697
>>18739563 Haha, yeah, Dragon Pulse on Charizard would have also been nice to have in that battle actually. And I only used Gyarados once in the past; I even used Charizard against a Water team for those sik noscope Solarbeams. But I'm actually quite happy with Taunt looking back at it. Again, great game frisbee, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you around :]
Actias 5300 9493 0648
So this may have been answered already, but for those of that have not lost a match, do we have to lose twice in the 5th round?
Quad !TrD9XQuadA
>>18739666 To my understanding, if they beat you once, you're out. its what made me really nervous about my battle with Patty.
It doesnt seem fair, but if they say we dont get special treatments, so be it.

I only won against to Jack and Dr. Dredikkus because of Hurricane/Stone Edge missing. I have a strong feeling I won't be so lucky this time.
Frisbee !FlyingoOUw
>>18739610 I don't know about that. Ice Fang is really important for Gyarados' coverage. Wish I'd have known you had Taunt instead of Ice Fang so I could have use Dragonite against Gyarados.

Almost doubles your Supereffective hits, and gives you at least neutral damage on anything that isn't Surskit or Shedinja.
>>18739666 I believe it's just one match when it comes to the type rep showdown, but it does sound more fair if it's a 1-loss vs a 0-loss for the 1-loss to have to win two matches against the 0-loss to get rep. You might want to hash that out with your Bug opponent before battling.

>>18739762 Yeah, doesn't seem fair to me to nullify the previous rounds of the tournament when double elimination is not hard to implement for the representative battles. I think the two 4-0 players won their first game, so it hasn't been a problem yet.
I would highly prefer it to stick to the traditional double elimination, but if the current rule change stands, I will accept it, begrudgingly.
Quad !TrD9XQuadA
>>18739880 Think of it this way dude, if you are 4-0 and you are paired with someone who is 3-1, you can lose once and completely memorize their strats against you, giving you a HUGE advantage for when you fight them the second time. It also makes the 3-1 person work twice as hard to beat you while you only need to win once.
I know it sucks that someone who is 3-1 is equal to someone who is 4-0, but rules are rules.
Frisbee !FlyingoOUw
>>18739880 Since a 1-loss beating a 0-loss for rep hasn't occured yet, I don't see any harm in retconning that rule in there, as it won't affect anything that's already happened.

http://pokemondb.net/tools/type-coverage >>18741136 >>18739896 It doesn't really matter if someone gets to see your Pokemon and playstyle, it's unfair to eliminate Actias if he loses once to someone who already has a loss themselves. It's exactly like the Heather v Aniny finals case, Actias needs to be beaten twice to be eliminated.

>>18736346 Though I'm kinda salty that I can't retake the bug spot, in a way it wouldn't have worked out schedule-wise regardless so it's probably for the better.
Also the fact that Actias definitely represents Bug well, I'm throwing my money behind him too. Better for a fresh battler to take the leader spot than old used goods.
