If I inject a pokemon with a Mega Stone that shouldn't be available (e.g. Lopunny, Heracross), how long will it take until the AI starts using showderp-tier counter sets?

I do have a 5IV Bagon sitting in my box waiting to be trained so if I fuck up I'll grab a stone for Salamence. Got a Garchomp good to go though so I'll try that. Cheers for the advice, anons!

I'm also considering something with Sturdy just because OHKO hax sounds scary for later stages in the streak.

Focus Sash also works, just be mindful of the AI counter-picking again with priority moves and Stealth Rock. Tsareena/Bruxish/Lele can get a free switch on the priority move, so they tend to be good partners for Sturdy/Sash users. A Ghost type can also switch in on Quick Attack or Mach Punch, and Chandelure also has Flash Fire, so that's also an option for a team that fire weak.

Although, I think A-Ninetails does a bit better in Doubles than singles. You can send out both a weather-setter and weather-abuser at the same time, and Aurora Veil has more value when covering multiple mons at the same time. Garchomp is still a pretty decent team-mate, and a flyer as a 4th option should cover the fighting weakness and avoid Garchomp's EQ spam.

Hrm. Well I was looking for an excuse to train a Tsareena so this might be it. Though my Lele is already good to go and will probably help shut down Stall Umbreon Youngster if I run into him again.

Might try Chomp, Tsareena/Lele and a Sturdy/Sash user for singles maybe. Shouldn't be too hard to get a team together. I'll keep Hail abuse in mind for Doubles if I attempt that.

So, after I set my sights on a team I want to use, I should breed for IVs, train for EVs and then try my luck?

Is there any set I should aim for? Like a point/lead pokemon that's good at dealing with everything, a tank/sponge to stop my team from getting murderer and a sweeper to kill their stuff?

I was thinking about something like Bewear or Aegislash for "tank" and Mega Lucario for dealing damage, though I have no idea of what to use as a lead

Finally managed to break 50 on Super single.

The battle against Red was really in my favor though.

Ninetales against Lapras. I use Aurora Veil and he switches out for fucking Mega Venusaur.
Then my Blizzard freezes him. The 2nd time in all those 50 matches that I managed to freeze something.
Then a PHYSICAL Charizard comes in and I switch to M-Salamence. With Intiminate and Aurora Veil I was able to DD trice and roost for full HP, just to be sure.

You have to consider, that you only need to fail once in 50 battles for everything to be over.
Your enemy only has to win once.
I once got hit twice in a row by Guillotine and it probely would have hit a third time if it wasn't for
Mimikyu.

You shouldn't have a move below 90% accuracy either.

It's been like this for all the battle facilities in every game. Eventually you're just going to get fucked due to RNG.

>How meta do i have to go to stand a chance?
If you're using random EV/IV pokemon you might be able to beat the normal battles, but once you get to the Super Battles you're most likely going to get immediately fucked.

A back-up sweeper that doesn't need to set-up to be a threat. Something that doesn't compound your weaknesses too much (fighting, steel, fire, rock.) Mega Salamence is always a good pick, but then your team is essentially soloed by Tyranitar. Garchomp is a pretty solid choice.

So I want to have a laff by using Moody Glalie (with its megastone.) I don't know what else I'll use, but something with T-wave would be nice for the set-up opportunities.

I already got 50 streaks in all categories so I don't care how long I can hold out, I just wanna see how far the most broken ability in the game can carry a mono-ice pokemon. The set would be Protect/Sub/Double Team/Return. What would pair well with this?

Even if the game let you use a full team of 6 legendaries with the best stats and moves possible I'm not sure it'd help that much. Eventually ONE fuck would stonewall you due to the AI's penchant for picking hard-counters.

6IV Ditto w/ Destiny Knot is required to get anywhere with any reliability, even without taking into account Supers.

The only way to guarantee victory is to literally just hack your cart to never have your HP go down ever, and even then you could still run into something that spams Minimize or someshit.

Give Mimikyu a Lum Berry. With that and Disguise you get so many free Swords Dances, or you get a free attack while the opponent tries to status you. You have no idea how important it can be to shrug off RNG status hax.

Mimikyu would be my MVP for Super Singles if not for Xurkitree.

Currently making a Grassy Terrain team for doubles. I'm not finished with it yet, but here's what it's at so far. I'm planning on leading with Tapu Bulu (that should be obvious) with Toxapex. I have Golisopod waiting in reserves, and I'm missing a fourth. Here's the sets I had in mind:

Tapu Bulu @ ???
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Horn Leech
- Megahorn
- Superpower
- Zen Headbutt

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Recover
- Haze
- Toxic

Golisopod @ Assault Vest
Ability: Emergency Exit
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- First Impression
- Liquidation / Aqua Jet
- Leech Life
- Poison Jab / Sucker Punch

The plan was that in situations where Toxapex needs to get the fuck out of there, Golisopod can take over, tank shit, and kill things. Should Emergency Exit proc, I can send Toxapex back in with 33.3% more health, or I can send in the fourth Pokemon if I don't think Toxapex can do the job. Thoughts and opinions? The only problem I can see at the moment is that I have two water types on one team, so an electric type weakness is shared.

So I'm considering adding a Jolly Kartana as my Sash user on the team mentioned in >>30895463 and I was wondering what the recommended EV spread is on that. 252 in Speed seems like a no brainer, but does it need full investment in attack when the base stat is so high + Beast Boost? Or should I split it between Attack and HP?

>>30901668
27 in Super Singles using a team of Garchomp, Tapu Lele and Weavile. I can't remember what tripped me up.

Haven't really touched Doubles since I don't have a team built around that yet. Did try Multi but lost around match 6 or so because Grimsley makes bad choices.

Playing on an o3DS makes me want to touch the doubles formats less honestly. The slowdown makes it excruciating even with animations turned off. But I can't really justify an n3DS upgrade right now.

If the AI counterpicks it does a pretty shitty job.

And it uses the dumbest fucking moves. Battle Subway and shit used to pull all sorts of garbage and always use the perfect moves. I've had many instances where they decide to set up instead of easily one shot my near dead final mon.

Based on what I've observed, it has a threefold pattern. On average, every three rounds it will do something completely retarded, and every three rounds, it will hard counterpick you (or at the very least do its best). The last third round is a toss-up where it just picks shit and plays hard.

I got to round 40 in super singles earlier today, but I got walled hard by colress. My team is sash mimikyu with SD/leech life/play rough/shadow sneak, z-ash greninja with water shuriken/hydro pump/ice beam/dark pulse, and m-garchomp with SD/eq/outrage/stone edge. Any tips for making the whole process any less annoying? I find that mimikyu sometimes just doesn't cut it, and ash-greninja also doesn't hit hard enough unless I have type advantage or use z-hydro pump.

I just got to the battle tree and I want to make a doubles team.
I've run it a couple of times now with the team you can see below and I've gotten to 20 wins with it, but I want to do better.

Metagross (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: -
Adamant Nature
- Hammer Arm
- Zen Headbutt
- Meteor Mash
- Bullet Punch

Mimikyu (F) @ Fairium Z
Ability: Disguise
EVs: -
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Wood Hammer
- Shadow Claw

Araquanid (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Bubble
EVs: -
Relaxed Nature
- Liquidation
- Toxic
- Wide Guard
- Leech Life

Krookodile (F) @ Soft Sand
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: -
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Crunch

So far they're not EV trained yet and I haven't gotten any big items (I will get a mega stone for metagross).
I'd like to switch the Krookodile out but I haven't found any replacement for it.
Any suggestions or pointers would help.

Fake Out is common enough where I would use Inner Focus. Telepathy is nice but it's not as good an ability, it's easier to just not use full-spread moves than for TR to fail to go up all the time. And honestly I prefer single target moves, more often than not only one target is actually threatening at any given time and it's better to focus fire that than to risk the damage drop from spread moves to let it live.

If you wanted to use Telepathy, I'd use Tsareena as the grass type (Queenly Majest will protect against Fake Out) and Chandelure as the Fire type and secondary TR setter. You're really missing out on a lot of fire power though so it's probably not as good.

Also quick note on bewear: its fire weakness is granted through an ability, and since the tree can't even account for immunities granted by an ability (multiple times I have set-up to +6 with Mega Sableye as the opponent spams twave on it,) you're pretty safe choosing bewear.

I know it's my own fault for using 90% attacks but I never thought I'd miss so often... I mean ffs I get hit by every hydro pump, every Hypnosis, every thunder.

I was doing fine until this. The reason I lost this battle wasn't my team, it was RNG.

'Sides, I'm trying to figure out what to use from the 'mons I have trained.

Want me to list' em?

I was leveling pokemon for pokedex completion outside battle tree but I got bored and wanted to see the movesets on the people that I scouted since I'll probably do multi/supers after I finish singles.

[something fast and not weak to ground or ice]
Toxapex
Salamence

There's your team.

in my experience, special defense toxapex has been more useful than physical defense toxapex

I hate using Toxapex... It's so boring. Just Bunker, Sludge Bomb, Scald, and Recover. It's useless against steel types.

You want -speed nature so you can go last and don't have to eat hits in sword forme by going first

>>30914480

That's not what you use on toxapex. Use toxic, recover, haze, and scald.

Then replace toxapex with a specially defensive pokemon that resists ice and a weakness of your 3rd pokemon then.

>>30914488
>Haze
We're in the battle tree. Not many people have stat boosting moves.
it'd be useless most of the time.

I'll have nightmared about a scarfed jolly Aerodactyl that flinched me to death, literally, I couldn't even touch him, it was battle 4.

Other than that, I managed to beat Super singles: G36G-WWWW-WWW3-87TU

And Super doubles: JG4G-WWWW-WWW3-87UK

Currently trying to complete Super multis. Let me tell you, fantasy cores composed by pokemon that can nuke everything in sight are pretty good for the tree.

I lucked out and managed to scout Colress with a Porygon-Z and MegaGross, but I'm not sure what I should use alongside those.

I Scouted Cynthia with a Mega Lucario as the first mon, and a shitty paraflynch Togekiss, Lucario is awesome, though. I got to battle 42 with her, I was using Mega Salamence and Arcanine, I lost to a lethal combination of me not looking at the screen, playing badly, and hax.

If you want to advance with Colress, I'd suggest you bring a Tapu Lele to destroy fighting mons and prevent priority, and a Hydreigon, it goes perfectly with Metagross I think.

Thinking about Bullet Punch, Close Combat, Swords Dance but not sure on the last one. Iron Tail is good but I'm sure the accuracy will fuck me over

Blaze Kick, maybe?

5th battle, Breloom with Mach Punch fucked me up

I expected Spore so I subbed, he went with Stun Spore. He did the fighting Z-move to break the sub (??) while I smashed, went for the Baton Pass but he fucked me up with Mach Punch. I should have passed the subs to Salamence and called it a day

I fucked them up with Bewear though, so I'm still undefeated

Just went 20/0 on the first stage of the Tree with

Smeargle (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Moody
EVs: 252 HP 252 SPD 4 DEF
Timid Nature
- Spore
- Baton Pass
- Shell Smash
- Substitute

Salamence (M) @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 ATK 252 SPD 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Roost

Bewear (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Fluffly
EVs: 92 HP 252 ATK 164 SPD
Adamant Nature
- Hammer Arm
- Return
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch

The only floor that gave me a bit of trouble was the 19th where their Wishiwashi woke up in a single turn and knocked out the Substitute I had set up. Moody dropped by accuracy by one level, so I missed two Spores in a row and got KO'd, got bless this RNG. I won by pummeling it with Bewear, then switching to Salamence when a Politoed bounced and sweeped from there

Red was pretty easy. I'm always scared of leads that are faster than Smeargle, but his Fire Fang couldn't even 2HKO me so I just smashed, passed and sweeped with Salamence

I'm assuming the real deal starts now on the super ladder and I've been blogging about beating easy mode, right? Time to either adapt to a better team or try to meme my way through 50 matches in a row
