Anyone got a nice Doubles set for a timid magic bounce espeon ? I dont know if I should go for offense or screen support, and it seems to be pretty bad in doubles anyways. Rest of the team is dhelmise, bewear, offensive sylveon.

I dont even like Espeon but my boyfriend only agreed to play multi battles with me if I bred him one...

I also had a Garchomp that could've easily killed it, but it felt good predicting the AI like that

I used Mimikyu as a lead. Swords danced almost always first move and just tried to inflict as much damage as possible. Swept often.

Other two teamates were Garchomp and Mega Metagross, those two cover each other pretty well. Hit 50 EZ PZ.

The RNG has been kind to me.

Yesterday Primarina swept Cynthia while locked into Ice Beam.
The first hit froze her mega lucario, who stayed frozen for the three turns it took for primarina to finish it off and then take an earthquake and murder garchomp.

I stopped at 20 to breed some more pokemone and grow more berries, but I'm wondering if Kartana may be better, since I keep running into BS leads, like Sash Gengar or wild charge Snorlax

I actually don't think the AI is that bad, but you're bound to eventually find that one team that fucks you in the ass because it happens to be a perfect counter to yours, so you always need to be prepared for the worst. Also all pokemon have items and they're EV trained and possibly have perfect IVs, so if you're not going in with properly trained mon you're already at a disadvantage. Finally, the more you progress, the more likely it becomes to face megas, competitive pokemon and even legendaries

Those sound great. I'm inclined to use Terrain Extender on Tapu Lele because being locked by Choice Items doesn't sound good at all.

I'm thinking
Minior: Acrobatics, Shell Smash, Rock Slide, Earthquake
Tapu Lele: Psyshock, Moonblast, Calm Mind, Thunderbolt
Salamence: Double Edge, Dragon Claw, Fire Blast

I'm unsure whether I get DD or Roost on Salamence. On one side I have used Roost on Megamence in 6th gen and it did save me a few times, but DD is DD.

With such a large sample size of battles, anything that can happen probably will happen.

That, and bad luck that ends a streak sticks in a person's mind more than good fortune that may have prolonged it..

Ive been running a meme male salandit in doubles. Been working fairly well.
Timid, max hp and speed evs, @eviolite
Moves: poison gas, venom drench, protect, overheat.
Gets recovery from teammate comfey.
Poison gas poisons two at once, venom drench lowers atk, spe atk, and speed all at once. Just poison everything and keep lowering stats while comfey boosts and heals.

That could work.
A-muk is slow and might not outspeed the opponent after the first venom drench but the bulk would be helpful.
This is a meme set already though. I was just trying to work in a set for male salandit.

Only tangentially related, because I've only ever seen this in the Battle Tree, but has anyone ever noticed that Sunny Day (and maybe weather in general) to be glitched? I've seen it twice that an opponent mon sets up sun only for a partner to come in with Cloud Nine that for whatever reason doesn't clear the weather. It's kind of nice because then for the rest of the battle the other mon keeps trying to set up sun and failing due to it already being on the field.

It was only long thanks to that stall vaspiqueen. They're usually a little slow, but in like the 15s, not the 50s.
Normally, while salandit is lowering the threat, comfey is boosting so it can make a sweep. The excadrill was too much of a threat to both for that to work.

This is one of the main reasons I like having Colress as a partner for multi battles. Both of his Pokemon only have damaging moves so I don't have to worry about him doing something stupid like that.

I will never understand how people have trouble with the battle royal. Don't use pokemon with x4 weaknesses and make sure your mons can take a hit. Priority helps, isn't really necessary, I've won loads of times using shiinotic/turtonator/gyrados or silvally or weavile, I really just pick whatever at this point.

I wish I could figure out how to get the masked royal to show up, I've only seen him join a battle royal once and i can't find any info on it.

Is it just me or is it much easier to win in Super Doubles than Super Singles? I feel like it's because in Doubles it's a lot more strategy based and the AI is retarded when it comes to actual strategy.

I'm able to make it pretty far in the tree with my Alola Ninetales and Alola Sandshrew lead, I rarely even have to bring out my other two pokemon. The only time I lose is when the Battle Tree pulls bullshit like having Earthquake miss 3 times in a row because the opponent was holding bright powder.

Finally beat 50 Super Singles, pretty psyched.

Megamence
Atk+Speed
Adamant
- Double Edge
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Thunder Fang

Mimikyu w/ Normalium-Z
Atk+HP
Adamant
- Splash
- Shadow Sneak
- Play Rough
- Toxic

Reuniclus w/ Life Orb
Magic Guard
Sp.Atk+HP
Quiet (0 Speed)
- Psychic
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
- Trick Room

Salamence is overused but I pretty much understand why now, Intimidate + that speed and power in one package is pretty hard to pass up. The recoil on Double Edge made him Ice Shard bait, but I had two bulky fuckers to back him up.

Other observations
- Z-Splash ignores Taunt. This has sold me on using it instead of SD + Life Orb.
- Salamence apparently broke the law or something because I had about 12 policemen turn up to fight me. Since they're all rock users it makes sense.
- Reuniclus is sorely underrated. That bulk, that power, almost nothing can outspeed it under Trick Room and nothing can survive more than two hits from it.
- Running Trick Room with a fast sweeper on your team seems like a bad idea, but more than a few times Salamence ended up paralysed and I could bring it in under Trick Room and then it would act first.
- Running Thunder on Reuniclus was better than Shadow Ball, as Salamence attracted lots of bulky water types with Ice moves and Reuniclus punished this super-hard. 30% chance of Paralysis is very useful and very few situations called for a Ghost move when I already had Mimikyu
- However having two electric moves attracted more bulky ground users like Hippowdon, all with Curse sets which are fucking dangerous since Reuniclus can't deal with them...
- ... they died to Toxic. Having Toxic on a sweeper with only two attack moves seems weird, but it literally saved my entire run a few times. Carrying Toxic is worth it.
- FUCK Veterans. Almost lost to Mega-Latias at 49. Even with Mimikyu, their other legendaries take more hits than normal and it really ruins your momentum.
- Cheating to see what Red's mons use is worth it.

I lead with mence, but I often have to switch on turn 1 since opponents start leading with counters to it. Fini and Aegislash can deal with Mence's counters very well, especially after intimidate.

Mimikyu is about revenge killing, boosting up and then just spamming Shadow Sneak since very few mons can survive more than two hits from a 2.5x damage boost (SD + Life Orb, or Z-Splash)

Play Rough may be Fairy STAB but you literally only use it against walls or against normal types as a plan B, maybe Dragons if you reckon it's worthwhile. If you're running a Lum set and using Play Rough as your main damage output, you are setting yourself up for dissapointment.

In all honestly you had it coming. Your entire team is too passive, Mudsdale is too slow, Goliospod is good for two turns it out, and Kommo-O isn't all that powerful even after a DD. Run more offensive mons. A better special attacker if that's what your Kommo-O was doing. You can always run sub on something to.

I feel the opposite to be honest, the Battle Tree is a war waged against crazy bullshit that could jump out at any moment.

Singles give you time to switch out into counters with minimal punishment, and they come one at a time so you can offer all your attention to one target - in Doubles you have two sources of nonsense to contend with at the same time, allowing one cunt to cripple two of your monsters at the same time, or something you missed just comes out at the worse time and you're even more in trouble.

Then again I suppose Doubles offers more abusive strategies from a smart player, so it balances out, it's just when things go wrong in Doubles they go REALLY wrong and your ability to adapt and respond is about the same as in Singles.

Shadow Sneak with Life Orb + SD is a 100 damage STAB move coming off respectable offenses. Shadow Claw is even better.

Play Rough is secondary on Mimikyu, so use your ghost moves. I even considered replacing it with some different coverage because the AI Battle Tree will just straight up stop sending you anything that's weak to Fairy eventually.

I swapped life orb for fairium-z for this exact reason. It's a less useful set against real people but in battle tree having a 100% accurate 175 BP fairy move that can bypass protect once per 3-man-battle is more useful than the overall damage increase of lifeorb, especially when you have fuckers spamming double team and protect.

I'm currently running A-Ninetales (Aurora Veil and Encore mostly), A-Marowak (Physical big dmg) and Tapu Koko (Electric Seed + Thunderbolt + Dazzling Gleam + Calm Mind + Roost). Did very well in regular singles, going to start super singles soon. Rock types do give me a bit of trouble, though. Would it be viable to switch Koko's moveset to Specs/Thunderbolt/Dazzling Gleam/Volt Switch/Grass Knot? Or would a Life Orb set be better, with Calm Mind instead of Volt Switch? Its HP is Dragon, so that's not amazing to run.

I think if you take longer than two turns to do anything that's not offensive then you're just opening yourself up to more trouble than it's worth.

Most of the Battle Tree mons consist of irritating combos or stupid RNG rolls that are more dangerous the more time the opponent has to use them - so you should treat every turn as crucial. What's great about Mimikyu is that you basically get a "free" turn, but even so I would try to get on the offensive as soon as possible.

- Your Golisopod doesn't need Poison Jab. It DOES need priority, so breed Aqua Jet on to it, or use Sucker Punch.
- Poison Jab is better coverage for Haxorus than Iron Tail. Last move should be Earthquake
- Why would Garchomp need Crunch? Give it Brick Break or Stone Edge

In general your thinking regarding coverage is lacking. For example you choose Iron Tail on Haxorus to cover both Ice and Fairy, but actually you can still hit Ice Types for high STAB damage with Outrage, use the more accurate Poison Jab on fairies, and then Earthquake for Steel types including Klefki who would otherwise wall you.

Happens to me often as well. I had a Lapras set up Rain Dance against my Marowak (which I kept in since I didn't want to switch anything else into a +1 Surf or Hydro Pump), only for it to use Thunder. Not sure if it even had a water move.

Other times the AI will just try to Thunderbolt it two or three times in a row.

It's worth it to run mixed Minior, if only so you don't have to deal with the absolute horseshit accuracy of Stone Miss. That will end runs.

Anyone feel like shit catching the tapus? I know they are required if you want an easy time beating the tree but it still feels messed up capturing the guardians
