>>30766113 >>30766203 Ice, with Ninetales/Froslass/Mamoswine/Weavile/Cloyster/Crabortion.
Normally, Mamoswine and Mr. Crabs cover my Steel weakness, but Scizor stands out because of the fact that he resists both of their secondary STABs.
Not to mention the SE Technician Bullet Punch.
Bomie 0233 2621 4690
Does anyone want to battle using the /mgc/ rules? I'm trying to decide on a type.
Callum !callumSBRU
>>30766731 You at least have a froslass with wisp right?
Does anything you can use have access to a fire move?
>>30766803 I have nothing to battle with on cart, but could do some stuff on SD if you wanted.
Bomie 0233 2621 4690
>>30766890 Alright I made my team on showdown.
Anonymous
>>30766890 Wisp helps, yeah.
But Scizor can just SD to recover attack.
I'm pretty sure none of the ice-types I can use can learn a Fire move, except for Hidden Power.
Except Silvally, but I don't want to carry an otherwise mediocre team member just to counter a single Pokemon.

>>30767046 If it wasn't Scizor, it would be some other Steel mon. Sylvally might be what you need. Try one out on Showdown or something to see if it pulls its weight.

Quoted By:
>>30766731 >>30767046 I'm having that same issue right now feeling like I don't have enough coverage against BP Scizor.
Looking into every single
Fairy type mon right now seeing what can live a hit decently or at least okayish to hit with a fire move it may or maynot have.
I'm already looking into
Cotton Guard Whimsicott to deal with it, highly doubt it will help at all but hey it's better than the other idea I have which needs me to use something that might not be fully useful for anything else.
Anonymous
>>30767111 Is Showdown really a good place to test for this?
Anyway, I have a Silvally build in mind.
But I'd probably replace Crab for it, which means I'd lose Bulk Up + Z-Close Combat wallbreaking.
I'm not sure if Cloyster can truly replace Crab as a boost attacker.
Callum !callumSBRU
>>30767036 Sorry, just got to finish something. Will be around 5 mins. Maybe a little less.
Aniny
>>30767184 I only suggested Showdown because I didn't know if you had access to your Sylvally yet. You gotta level the hecker up to level 85 for Parting Shot, so... yeah. If you already have yours ready to go, by all means try it out here or in battle spot, which will give you better data due to level 50, the meta, etc.

I've been trying this team out on Showdown and it's been working out pretty well for me so far. Any improvements I can make? Venusaur-Mega @ Venusaurite Ability: Chlorophyll EVs: 252 HP / 92 Def / 144 SpD / 20 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Giga Drain - Hidden Power [Fire] - Synthesis - Leech Seed Nidoking @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Sludge Wave - Earth Power - Fire Blast - Ice Beam Scolipede @ Lansat Berry (only Lansat because lolsmogon won't let me BP two stat boosts to Nidoking, would be replaced with Petaya Berry if on cart) Ability: Speed Boost EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD Jolly Nature - Megahorn - Protect - Baton Pass - Substitute Muk-Alola @ Black Sludge Ability: Poison Touch EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Knock Off - Curse - Rest - Sleep Talk Tentacruel @ Black Sludge Ability: Liquid Ooze EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Toxic Spikes - Rapid Spin - Haze Gengar @ Choice Scarf Ability: Cursed Body EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Sludge Wave - Hex - Focus Blast - Psychic I used to use megabee but he's kill in gen 7 so I'm using Venusaur instead. Are there any alternative Ground switchins that might work as well? That used to be Gengar's job but unfortunately he can't do that anymore.
Ryan
>>30766731 Ice gets famously fucked by scizor, my best advice having run it before it to just build your team as best you can and hope you don't run into one. You can't possibly cover all of ice's weaknesses, so just do what you can, don't bother having one mon or move dedicated to checking a single poke.

I love sableye and want to karenfag and also skipped out on ORAS so I never really tested the megas but the mega is just too cancerous. Is there a stall friendly but not ridiculous set for it? The current smogon set gives it fucking WoW as it's main offensive move. I'm fine with stall but this is ridiculous.

I really wanted to use Silvally on my electric team but I'm fairly sure it's my weakest link. Little utility, not that fast or bulky and needs a SD up to do respectable damage

>>30773633 What else do you have on your team?
Shane 4699-6929-9264
>>30768933 I feel awful for making you go through the trouble of editing my fuck up. I always keep the exp number in PkHex at 1 mil and that's normally enough for most pokes to be at 100, so I rarely check. I'm not a terribly great artist, but I'd be more than happy to write or draw you something for the trouble. You went out of your way for me and I truly appreciate that. Also nice digits.

>>30773950 The two ways Ive seen him run is an offense oriented steel memory set and a defensive fairy memory set that resists most 2HKOs. I wish Type Null had the same BST as Sivally just with more defense oriented stats.

What's the best way to put EV's and level stuff in this game?
IGN: Luna FC: 3711 7078 1822
>>30787259 >being legit My condolences. Trying to legit EV train is a pain in the ass in SM. You eed BP from the battle tree for EV items but at the same time the battle tree is absolute bullshit even with pokemon with perfect IVs and EVs. I don't want to be another 'just hack' guy, you play however you want, but I suggest against it.
daniel - 0619 4281 7615 !pikaWbWnAw
>>30787357 dont be so dramatic bby
>>30787259 pelago is super ez pz to ev train, since you can do it while you are not playing
so, just drop ur bbys before going to sleep, and while u go to work or do stuff for the day ur pokes will be fully trained
for each play session u get 4 evs
so put them to play 63 sessions to max a stat, then drop beans to halve the time, it should take 15 hours, and you can train 18 pokes at the same time on different stats
ive trained 2 monos that way

How do you control what ev's you want?
daniel - 0619 4281 7615 !pikaWbWnAw
>>30787563 1 play session = 4 evs
so lets say you want a pokemon with 172 speed evs
you should make it play 43 sessions

Quick question If I make a dark team, can I use Gyarados as my mega, or is it banned because it isn't a dark type until after the mega evolution?

Quoted By:
>>30788858 Normally, it would be accepted.
But megas aren't even allowed in the first place for this round.

Is 95 base speed usable with Adamant/Modest, considering how slow Alola is?
IGN: Luna FC: 3711 7078 1822
>>30790715 Yeah, what pokemon? I use mimikyu, base speed 96, and it outspeeds quite a few things.

>>30789198 Interestingly, I don't see many people spam sleep in this format, despite being unrestricted. The only time I saw someone put multiple Pokemon asleep, they were using a Vivillion. It's certainly possible you could get all your mons put to sleep in one match, but I doubt it's likely to happen.

>>30790918 >physical attacker That's the problem, my team is made almost entirely of physical attackers.
So I'm planning make it a special attacker with Scarf/Specs.

>lived with 3hp Holy shit, thought you had it. Was a ton of fun. Interested in what you run on gengar. I gave my mimikyu a life orb so I went with specs for gengar. Personally I have to say mimikyu eally is better off as a sweeper then a trick room setter. Also why did you do the SD with marowak? You could've killed my sableye with shadow bone. GG

>>30791213 Not only that, I just remembered I can't use any items on Silvally, because he needs to fit the type.
Looks like my only options are Parting Shot/Swords Dance and 3 coverage moves, but I don't think that'll be good enough, considering his unspecialized base stats.
I'll probably just tweak my team instead of replacing someone.
IGN: Luna FC: 3711 7078 1822
>>30791333 Isn't froslass a good decent sp.a sweeper? Smogon lists it as a hazard setter but 110 base speed with STAB ice beam and shadow ball seems pretty nice.
I actually love ice and was thinking of using it but the selection just seemed pitiful. If we do another postbank mono tournament I might go ice.

>>30791213 >Silvally's special movepool is quite pathetic Looks pretty great to me, how fucking good do you need it? It learns all the most reliable special moves in all the elements except Bug and Fairy, if memory serves me right.

>>30791316 Gengar is Trick Room/Sludge Bomb/Shadow Ball/Destiny Bond holding a sash.
I thought you where gonna try and recover but seeing how much damage I was doing it was just a bad play on my part.
Anonymous
>>30791410 >hazard setter Pointless in 3v3, yeah.
But I made her more of a support mon with WoW, Shadow Ball, D-Bond, and
i forgot the last move for some reason WoW lets Mamo and Crab take advantage of their bulk, and might let the others survive for an extra turn or two.
Maybe I can replace it with Thunder Wave.
Destiny Bond isn't really for taking down enemies, it's for letting her survive an extra turn to apply burn or throw a Shadow Ball.
I went with Shadow Ball instead of Ice Beam because everyone else carries Ice moves anyway.
IGN: Luna FC: 3711 7078 1822
>>30791479 It gets tri attack and and your basic STAB for most types (fire- flamethower, electric- thunderbolt). It's below average.
>>30791491 Two trick room setters? Looking at your team I can't see much other then dhelmise realy taking advantage of it.

So I just got to the Battle Tree yesterday. I unlocked the IV judge. I'm amazed that it's a PC function now. That's incredible. As a result, I just found out Luna gave me a perfect 5IV Stufful with Ice Punch. Bless you, child. Bless you.
