https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y7mOk-iovj_uIesJE7ErQ4LfNPoBSrSwYQOBAJJ1yPU/edit?usp=sharing There are several established reps now, due to general results and drops. The established type representatives are:
Ground: Mike
Rock: Callum
Electric: Grvio
Grass: Miro
Fire: Nico
Dragon: Jojo

The reps are mixed through the pairings too. The report form is still the same one in the OP.

With that, a few fun facts.
Mike is the only person to get type rep every single season, all with different types
to be fair, the last two seasons had the other trainers in his type flake out Jojo has got rep for the 3rd time, all with different types
Callum has got rock rep for the 3rd time. Only other person to get rock rep was Mike.

>>22502678 I can't speak for anybody else, but I was fortunate enough to not have to run into a Fire-type trainer until I was balls deep in the finals. Though naturally I was fucked over hard in that fight, there was literally nothing I could do against Talonflame and special attackers, Crustle or not
That being said, as long as you spend some time on your team composition Fire is actually Bug's only unsurpassable weakness. Talonflame notwithstanding, Galvantula and Crustle are enough to take care of most Flying types, and Rock types are actually not a problem at all

And I was trying to do something a little different, a lot of my Psy team is actually really physical in nature. Exeggutor was there as a wild card. Once I set that mofo up, he kicks ass... I had tested him on smogon before the tourney a bit and it confused the fuck out of them. Anyway, good fight, good luck.

>>22506276 Some types in general just don't have anything in their pools that can answer Talonflame. Smogon monotype has it banned. Even worse when legendaries are taken out. Mono grass's answers can't actually kill it even if they can survive, or kill themselves trying to kill it like rocky helmet ferrothorn. Monobug resorts to things like crustle which just means an optimal fire or flying player will just kill the one thing which can possibly threaten them. I don't even know what mono fighting would do now that it doesn't have terrakion who could have at least guaranteed revenge

>>22506607 >Resort to things like Crustle Top kek
Anonymous
>>22506625 I'm actually sort of curious now because I was thinking of building mono bug. Is there actually anything that can properly take banded talonflame's brave bird and kill it back besides crustle? I mean in monotype 6v6 I wouldn't have to deal with that all too much since stealth rocks is enough of a staple, but 3v3 means you don't get enough work out of it depending on how you and your opponent build your teams
Anonymous
>>22506625 Crustle is not exactly a top tier choice for... much of anything. Outside of providing a couple of "resistances", his usefulness really stops there.
Shell Smash sets aren't exactly crazy fast, and they give you more attack power in exchange for lowered defenses - which are basically Crustle's only real selling point
Anonymous
>>22506645 Crustle's probably one of your best non U-Turn supporters in mono bug
Rocks, knock off, spikes, and even rock blast for substituters

>>22506641 Back in season 1 I used Sashed MoxieCross to take care of Talonflames
Interestingly enough, some talonflame builds actually can't OHKO Galvantula, which can counter with Thunder or Volt Switch
>>22506651 Not gonna lie, support/stall Crustle edged me out a victory against a Normal trainer and his ridiculous Ditto/Cinccino/MegaKhan setup. Crustle is good for some things, but your chances of finding him in an actually useful situation in 3v3 are slim.

>>22506645 Considering the lack of priority for some types, the sturdy and smash boost is actually really good.
This tournaments meta isn't like the 6v6 monotype nor any of the other showdown metas.
Sam 5172-0542-5867
>>22506641 I haven't really done much experimenting in the ways of countering Talonflame. I've had mixed success with Sturdy Forretress @ Rocky Helmet. Recoil from Brave Bird and then damage from Rocky Helmet and Gyro Ball will usually take a sizable chunk out of Talonflame's health, which can then be revenge killed. It would work better if Rock Slide was used instead of Gyro Ball, but that's not how I've set mine up.
Onyx 3480-3093-7120
Good games Jsal. Dat RNG game one. Good luck staying in the tourney. Onyx wins 2-0
Anonymous
>>22506683 Problem with rocky helmet recoil killing is both the whole "giving up a third of your team to take out a single Pokemon means it's done it's job" thing and talonflame users who don't run choice band can run Roost, which sort of entirely kills the recoil strategy.
>>22506664 Well galvantula won't be counters if they basically rely on your opponent running either shell bell or leftovers, even muscle band talonflame guarantees OHKO on Galvantula who don't invest in defenses
The aforementioned talonflame even outspeed and OHKO with flare Blitz if they run shell bell and leftovers
With all this research I might just run fire or flying next season.
Sam 5172-0542-5867
>>22506719 Yeah, unfortunately I think it ends up being one of those cases where you have to create a mon whose sole purpose is to take out Talonflame, which detracts from the flexibility of the team.

>>22506740 To be fair /vp/'s monotype works really well with the bring 6 choose 3 system for that, or as I like to call it, side deck format. You basically just choose your usual core 3/4 team for most other neutral matches and have up to two reserves for your bad matchups
People don't give the bring X choose Y system enough credit, it's a fantastic format that I'm glad Pokemon supports.

>>22516423 you outspeed all, except for m-rabbit once it megas and hawlucha, and even then, unburden has to be up.
seriously consider quitting at this point

>>22516423 It ties with gengar, ties with un mega loppuny andd can't be OHKO'd, and it's faster than hawlucha before unburden as it generally does not run jolly.
What are you on about with lop?

>>22516435 You know it has base 110 speed right? And knowing my luck the spread would probably go to that gengar anyway, also, how often are you not gonna get the chance to mega? You would bring it in on anything and fake out, and that hawlucha fucks me anyway with 118, unless you're running admnt, which is kinda pointless if your trying to kill pokes that outspeed you with that flying move anyway.
>>22516452 Yeah you ankhs really should stop

>>22516472 Almost every hawlucha runs adamant as does mine. I wasn't going for the tie with gengar in any case, that would be a bad play on both players part if not neededd.

Also, you're immune to fake out so it's not like lop can fake out to put you in KO range.
