>>19443542 Fire this time. Putting most of my electric team to rest and wanted a type that was more of a powerhouse. My biggest worry is the obvious one
water but with the selection of mons that fire has these days I think it's a type matchup that either side has a good chance of winning.
What I did learn from running the electric gym for season 2 is how to very quickly ruin a mono-electric team with a single mon. So there's that.
The only thing I'm carrying over into this challenge from the last season is one of the Rotoms I used in the gym. Ghost Rotom will have to sit this one out though, but I'm ever hopeful that somebody else might use his formless butt in their team after seeing that there are reasons to run him over the ever-present washing machine.

Quoted By:
I use modest assault vest ice beam fire blast dragon pulse and thunder bolt. Quiet with EQ seems like great idea for hitting heatran though. Ice beam and fire blast might be good moves to consider. Ice beam + t bolt gives great combined coverage whilst fire blast can kill scizor and ferrothorn.

Quoted By:
>>19454460 goodra tends to stay in for long periods of time so dragon pulse is probably better than draco meteor
otherwise its moveset depends entirely on what you want it to cover that the rest of your team can't. It has a pretty wide movepool

Nathan [Electric] !ELECTriC22
>>19454840 A gale wings ban is pretty reasonable and allows the types that Talonflame hits hardest a few more options to hit the bird hard or cripple it before it does too much. Your own priority now becomes a valid option, trick room works against it, holy shit you can even paralyze it or set up your own speed buffs. Personally I'd be more worried about scarfed or banded Staraptor turning up than a Talonflame, if I knew it was running flame body over gale wings.
Talonflame without priority is far less of a threat than many other common high power mons that see usage in teams here.

I'm serious. Go and email him and ask about talonflame and gale wings.
He doesn't want there to be any issues with only 5 days to go, (ie. forcing any and all fire/flying trainers to reconstruct and resubmit their teams) so any potential ban is shelved until the conclusion of the tournament.

Any partial ban on Talonflame and it will act as a total ban on Talonflame since it will be useless to use anymore. Talonflame is a niche Poke, same as any other niche Poke or single-purposed set like a Scarf or Sash holder. "X" sweeps me can be said about plenty of Pokes against plenty of teams, Talonflame doesn't deserve to be singled out in this regard.

it's not as bad as you think -- it gives you more wiggle room against types you're not so prepared to face, since trying to take down 3 of theirs with one of yours is easier than trying to feint 6 of theirs

Also I didn't see this. Is it 100 or 50?
