I'm pretty sad that I couldn't participate to the XY edition, and I'm definitely too poor to afford OR/AS. Aren't they cross compatible with XY?
Anonymous
>>22335671 they are, but the or/as users would have to remove the exclusive megas and 3 unique moves to the game to be compatible
Anonymous
>>22335684 Meh, that's pretty annoying, guess I'll wait until it's over and just challenge some XY compatible gym leaders with my karenfag team.

Ryan
Quoted By:
>>22338264 well yeah it destroys him, but simply don't stay in front of something that has mach punch. A switch into intimidate Gyara will completely nullify it and give you the upper hand. With those three mons, you should be able to handle virtually all fighting mons the majority of the time, so long as you play well and dont get fucked by rng.
Also, greninja can barely survive a conkuldurr mach punch with no investment and hit back decently hard with extrasensory. Won't get the ohko even with specs, but if you've done some damage already you will be okay.

Ferrothorn or skarmory for mono-steel?

Ferro might be a good pokemon to pick in a mixed team but literally everything on your team will be weak to fire damage, and you think it's a good idea to bring something that is 4x weak to it? Whatever, I'm not telling you how to team build, but I know it won't perform as well as you think it will.

>>22340625 I tried my hand at ice last season. I won about half of my games, and it was tough. Mega Glalie can shake things up a bit for an ice team, but in general it's just very hard; most likely the hardest type to succeed with. It's not without its share of weapons, however
!NIPPLY0ayA
>>22340155 S1 steel leader here.
i used both in the first tournament, and ferro just ended up taking up space that more deserving mons could have used.
Skarms got a couple variants it can run (toxic, protect, roost, BB, taunt, spikes and whirlwind are all clutch moves) and is one of a very select few that can make hazards work effectively in 3v3's
bit off topic, but there was a guy that continuously challenged me in season one and would constantly lose, so i ended up using eviolite ferroseed against him, and he still lost. >>22340625 S3 ice leader here.
It's shit. it's got awesome offensive tools, and a few bulky mons made bulkier with dual screens frost rotom, but it's just got too many weaknesses to be able to have any staying power.

Quoted By:
>>22340273 >>22340360 >talking shit about best bird Skarmory is one of the biggest reasons I came in second last season and earned my spot as leader.
Phasing is extremely important against certain threats that requires set up.
It ruins belly drum users entirely, stops dragon dancers, allows you to spread Toxic, is a free ticket to avoid EQ Spam, Sturdy ensures you can phase someone just wasting time boosting.
The amount of wins I've secured because of Skarmory is unforgettable to me. You better be packing Fire because Ground and Fighting types regret meeting my Skarmory.

Quoted By:
And for clarification, yes I did use Ferrothorn during the tournament and barely got use out of it. As a gym leader it was perfect as my Mega Mom counter since back then it literally was on everyone's team. Also Ferro is a lot of fun to use once the fire is gone.

Sawsbuck or Bibarel for mono normal dealing with rock?
Anonymous

>>22349349 I would say Sawsbuck would be the safer option, Horn Leech/Seed Bomb and Jump Kick should be able to deal with most Rocks. Bibarel seems like it'd be a monster if it has a few turns for setup though.

Anonymous
>>22349468 Bibarel has access to Fighting too with Superpower, it's only real problem is its stats without getting lucky Moody boosts or setting up with Simple Curse or something. I just mentioned Jump Kick because it gives Sawsbuck more to work with as anti-Rock than just Grass moves.
There's also more Normals that can learn anti-Rock moves like Heliolisk with Focus Blast, Surf, and Grass Knot, but it has more downsides in the sandstorm boost and the absense of stab.

Clefable could maybe pick up moonlight or CM but it seems okay
Knock off azu is kinda bad, I think superpower or return are better options.
Anonymous
>>22357551 What's fire fang for that's worth dropping iron head? It's a nice, strong 100% accurate attack that hits a lot of things neutrally that resist play rough. I wouldn't bring mawile against a fire team anyway.
Faster means more air slash flinches though, no? I guess I have klefki to twave everything first though.
I like clefable's ridiculous movepool. It also gets crazy stuff like grass knot, shadow ball, focus blast, etc
I was thinking superpower but I already have a fighting move on togekiss? I know I see knock off azu a lot in OU (or even on AV azu in VGC sometimes), and knocking off things like specs, LOs or scarves can really help.

Any Rock, Ice, or Electric reps (or anyone with a team lying around in those types) available for a spar?

>>22346352 No, actually you're a moron and have no idea what software and hardware mean.
You don't patch a console hardware to add mega stones. You patch the game software. No corruption necessary. Nice job samefagging yourself though

>>22362605 I was scared that your staraptor was scarfed. I prefer banded, shit hits like a fucking truck

>>22362616 Hell yeah it does. You got any suggestions after seeing 5/6 of my team in action there?

Joey
>>22362671 Hmmm your team is pretty solid. I just had some pretty good matches. You might want to consider scarfing someone if you haven't. Its always good to have that one Mon that you can surprise out speed them with. For example my pory Z is scarfed but you wouldn't know till its too late. Swept a few matches on him alone

>>22362748 I'll probably do that actually, that PoryZ shrekt my shit.
That was the first outing of the Gyarados I hatched
>>22358158 and I'm liking that it can take a hit like a champ at least.

Anyone want to practice against me? I'm not going to be in the tournament, but I do have a mono team. I'll leave the type a surprise, mind you I'm not all that good so it could be an easy win.

Anyone still wanting to do practice battles?
IGN Zack - Flying (4871-4090-1177)

Marcus 2509-0886-0985
>>22364328 Y-you too. That was enjoyable, now I can work with counters against faster mons.
I've been so caught up with checks against my weaknesses that I didn't think about other strategies.

>>22364340 Just work with what you've got (which is a lot) and roll with the punches. That's what I've been doing with my squad and it's worked on everyone I've faced except Joey so far.
Looking forward to seeing you in the tournament m8.

Didn't know what to use on exca at the end and I guessed (incorrectly) that you brought crustle again)
Sorry (0232-8027-7992)
>>22366904 To be honest I'm feeling a little under the weather, so I'm going to bail. Great games, your teams are really intimidating. I'll definitely have to change stuff around; Substitute wasn't really as useful as I had hoped and I need to be more careful with Crustle.
But yeah, thanks for the games.
