So, if anyone else here is alive, mind if i ask what's the best time to come here?
>>19408837 since it's near the end of the current season, it's really hit and miss. I was just reading that you're getting into competitive?
Why not enter the monotype tourney?
Ahmed 4871-4005-1154
>>19408858 Might as well. It's good experience either way. Just started with XY, I haven't played since DP, college really fucked me over.
So, if you don't mind me asking. when the monotype tourney starting?
Ahmed 4871-4005-1154
>>19408915 Just to be clear, in the monotype tourney, you're only allowed to use one primary type of Pokemon right? So, would running dragon and using Dragalge break that rule?
>>19408938 no no.
for example, you can have dragalge on a dragon OR a poison team
and it also applies to megas
you can put mega gyarados on a dark, flying or a water team, but the catch with that is that for it to be on the dark team, it has to at least hold its mega stone
Ahmed 4871-4005-1154
>>19408967 Got it. One last question. Say you're running Fighting, and they match you up with someone who's running a ghost team. Are there preventative measures against that in order to keep a level playing field?
>>19408986 Callum's the guy that arranges the matchups, and while he does his best to ensure as fair matchups as possible, sometimes it's impossible to not have one or two rough matchups.
if you were running grass, for example, don't expect to be lined up against fire, poison, bug and flying all in a row
Ahmed 4871-4005-1154
>>19409007 Are Legendaries like Latios and Latias still banned in the Monotype Tourney.

>>19416687 I usually just type Gym in the catalog and look for the bolded /vp/ Gym Leader. looking up challenge can sometimes vary mixed results, but that's the quickest way I find it.
Honestly though, having different images from time to time does draw attention. I work in printing, and if anything they've slammed in my head thousands of times, it's that visuals can often make the difference for attention and interest capture.
Simply put, the regular image is good from time to time while a new image every now and then can draw the attention of someone that may passed it. Both have their pros and cons. In all honesty, the main picture kind of screams "RULES AND DOCUMENTS" at times, while any other picture could read "JUST ANOTHER SHITFLINGING TOPIC LEL" while at the same time, both could be completely opposite and attract more attention.
Just my thoughts though, nothing interesting to see here, people...

>>19419688 >>19419796 >>19420160 I'm assuming this is bait, but eve so, I'll give you what I feel is a reasonable justice to no legendaries in the teams.
For starters, monovtypes with multiple legendaries would easily become the majority of that Monoteam for a majority of players (the number of dragon mono users would be astronomical...).
Not to mention the 3 of 6the process would generally be Legendary, ETC, ETC - personally, that's just boring and uncreative. There's so much potential in the hundreds of available nonlegendary pokemon, why would you need something that's just going to destroy the creativity of regular and (mostly) balanced team builds?
But, as always, this is just my opinion, and I hope it gives some perspective to understand why this may be the way it is!

what about banning something like gale wings instead?
it's already naturally very fast, but at least those other teams can check it with their own priority or scarfed mon

My thing is why is it being banned because it has priority SE damage? Does that mean everything I face( as a normal type) that carries mach punch be banned too?
Nathan [Electric] !ELECTriC22
>>19429005 Some monotypes have issues with specific pokemon, nothing new there. Max hp/def Cradily is 3hko by BB if it's carrying leftovers at least.
I say we move to ban Charizard X because electric has no checks to it that aren't overly specific like max sp atk choice specs Stunfisk.
Nah, for real though, people are really overstating how much of an issue Talonflame is. If you're going to ban anything, ban its HA so it can be priority revenge killed. It's not that strong otherwise.

you are not losing the entire type and you are not losing your win condition, you till have other flying mons.

>>19429318 I guess they could use Arcanine, it's decently fast, hits harder than Talonflame, and gets E Speed for priority.
Heather 2895-6998-6566 !hoPPiPzMj6

we banned PuP and seismic toss on it
smogon banned gengarite
we banned perish song on it
smogon banned lucarionite
we banned NP and SD on it
see the pattern?
Smogon's bans are justified for their own meta - since bans in our meta are done by the current leaders and not by the community or a ~sekrit council club~, we can be more specific with them and target the thing that makes the mon broken.
>>19429369 arcanine is only 95 speed and not 126 speed, and extremespeed is not SE on anything -- the issue with gale wings is that it enables talonflame to shit all over three types without them being able to do much back besides check it

>>19428721 I'm running Bug, and have my own means to deal with BB Talonflame. But it still requires me to have 1 of 2 pokes out who can handle it.
If it's banned, sweet! My life made easier.
If not, meh. I made my team expecting to see that bird against me in ANY flying or fire team.

But that's my opinion.
Fighting and Grass may have more problems than us bugs. Not sure.

Quoted By:
A ban of ANY pokemon is a very serious consideration, as it then sets a standard that "If it's broken, throw it away." Fortunately, it seems like we keep the creative route by saying "X is what makes this unfair, so let's remove X and keep the potential for other strategies."

>>19430660 >>19430758 Yeah fighting has rocks, but a priority SE 120 move will 1 shot any fighting without sturdy or a sash.
And grass, good luck. No one is going to switch in their Talonflame. They'll wait to send it in to revenge kill everything.
>>19430758 And yes there are a few options, but if a person has to base their entire team on a counter it leaves them vulnerable to other problems.
Again, I'm not too worried about Talonflame myself, but gale wings is a bit broken, especially during monotypes.
