On game 2 why did you keep going for shadow sneak on shuckle? Also when you finally did do knock off I lived with exactly 1hp.
Sorry 0232-8027-7992
>>32554071 Because:
A) I thought you would possibly switch to Scizor
B) If I used Knock Off you'd be free of Specs
C) I was hoping poison would proc right away
D) I was butthurt about it missing before
Also whoops I really wish I had sucker punched, lol. Good games.
Luna 0001-3617-8659
>>32554093 I was worried you would. I have SP on galvantula but figured it was worth the risk as SP on hounchkrow would do near nothing.
I think shuckle has answered my prayers, that bird was giving me a ton of trouble last time me played.
Sorry 0232-8027-7992
>>32554111 Yeah I really need to figure out ways to deal with heavy hitters, it seems a bit too frail and slow for my liking. Right now I'm getting styled on.
Luna 0001-3617-8659
>>32554123 If you're looking for bulk maybe look into mandibuzz. Bulky, access to a reliable recovery move in roost, and flying nullifies bug and fighting weaknesses.
Do you not have a water move on greninja? I thought you had game 4 for sure.

Luna (Bug) 0001-3617-8659
I can't believe I did as good as I did that game. Last mono korago fucking destroyed me without losing a single pokemon every bug vs dragon game we played. I worry about it more then fire, rock, or flying honestly since I at least have coverage for those types.
4098-2678-4492
>>32567691 He uses scarf chomp doesn't he? I can't decide if i like that set or not.
Luna (Bug) 0001-3617-8659
>>32567721 yep, that game 2 was more like it.
I remember it was either salamence or dragonite that really fucked me up. Z power fly is a fucking nuke against anything and both had amazing coverage either way. It was near impossible to do anything against them. Chomp is good no matter what it has, really comes down to preference. I believe firium z on it is pretty popular as it gives it a guaranteed fire blast. Scarf seems less risky in a 3v3 format though, not like it should have problem sweeping even without boosts.

Shame to have only just seen this. I do have a 6 mon Dark team ready, though not sure I want to use that if there is already 2. Have 4 out of 6 of a Rock team. I could try and get a team of one of the not represented types ready, though I doubt I can by next week. Is this going to be one of those things were once this is over, you will have a set of Gym leaders and Elite four for anyone to face off against?

>>32571279 Gym leaders, yes.

>>32571690 Cool I remeber there being a gym leaders + elite four thing on /vp/ for Gen V. I only got half way through the challenge before other things got in the way. Looking through my boxes of pokemon I currently have, I maybe have a chance to get a dragon team ready in time.
Will work it out more tomorrow and sign up if I think I can do it!

Looks like I should have this dragon team ready for next weekend. Just ev training a few of them then need to grind some up to level 50 ish to evolve etc. Should I register now or when the team is actually ready? Also how do I make sure VS recorder has space etc. Never really used it before.
Anonymous
>>32575093 You may as well wait to submit your team when it's finished, as you may change a move or item or something like that.
You can submit just your details in the first registration form though.
If you've never recorded anything you'll have space on the VS recorder, it'll ask if you want to save battle videos after each battle you do. You can upload them inside the centre building on the PC in the festival plaza

>>32581581 Ice is nice. I ran one last tourney and made it to the bracket rounds despite it being my first time competing. Main downside is that you're really limited to a hyper-offensive team unless you want to karenfag shitmons like Avalugg.
Anonymous
>>32583390 Like official VGC stuff? I'm not sure what stuff you're referring to.
Mostly the gaps are due to gym leaders challenge that followed the tourneys. They went for about a month of a half making a tourney and challenge cycle about three months total. Delayed restart would probably be about giving people a break so it still remains fresh.
Everything is very quiet in comparison to past season at the moment though

So a few questions. When this starts do we arrange matches in these threads or via email / some other form of communication? Secondly, just found out I can't pokebank things backwards from Sun even if they originally were from there... Any way I can get the Move tutor moves onto a pokemon I have in Sun through some other means? I can just use a different moveset than I originally planned for my Druddigon if not.

>>32591287 Just letting you know, you didn't put full EVs on drapion.
Vest on tyranitar is pretty interesting, don't think I've ever seen that on it before. The choice of aerial ace seems a bit weird, guessing for fighting coverage but I don't know how effective it would be. Nice to see a non snips set on drapion.

>>32591362 >>32591359 Shit thanks for catching that.
If you can change that drapions EVS to 156 HP/ 252 Atk/ 100 SpD it'd be much appreciated.
Also yeah not sure if aerial ace is going to be worth it but I don't have much else for coverage. Hoping it works out.

>>32591362 Thanks a bunch again man
>>32591398 Maybe I'll have to look into teaching it a new move then
Luna (Bug) 0001-3617-8659
>>32591442 Some good moves for it to consider.
Crunch
Pursuit
Superpower
Dragon Dance
Ice Punch
Fire Blast
Also for item in case choice band or smooth stone are good alternatives. Since you're going rock you will want to keep sandstorm up for that special defense boost so it might be helpful.

>>32591442 >>32591488 Best option is just to cover it's glaring fighting type weaknesses with another mon. Sableye and Spiritomb can get free switch ins on fighting moves. Mandibuzz is a monster physical wall. Lots of different things you can do.

Also I assume that Kingdra had choice specs (And swift swim), didn't expect it to kill my things as well as it didn't otherwise.
Robert 2895-6822-6787
>>32600738 You might want to replace Goodra with Garchomp since Dragonite would benefit from weakness policy more and maybe give Hydreigon a choice scarf. Maybe get rid of stealth rock for glare since sr isn't as useful in 3v3 and since Druddigon seems to be able to take a hit you're basically guaranteed to get one off. Speed seems to be your teams biggest weakness.
Yeah it had choice specs and swift swim. gg
Elliott (Dragon) 1134-8168-8452
>>32600770 I don't really want to replace goodra, certainly not with Garchomp though I appreciate the advice is correct. Glare is an egg move and I caught him in the wild, don't really want to replace him just for that, would have taken Glare and Stealth rock on him otherwise.
I think I will have to take Choice Scarf on Hydreigon despite the fact I hate using choice items.
Not sure what to do about the overall speed issues.

How many matches are going to be played on this and at what sort of frequency. With it being put into groups I figured it won't be too many, but depending on the number may depend on if I would have reasonable avalibility each week assuming matches are once a week.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>32605024 Groups should stay the same size but there just wont be as many. Probably 4 battles for everybody in the initial stage, 2 each week.
If you arrange a time to battle as soon as pairings drop you wouldn't need more than 20 minutes at most for each battle.

I have however managed to get a replacement for Goodra to slightly fix my teams speed issue, replacement is only marginally slower than a Garchomp.
If Robert or anyone else who can inject is around, can someone fix up my Dragonite and Dragalge? The Dragonite I discovered has terrible Sp def rather and perfect Sp attack and needs them swapping.
Dragalge preferably needs everything fixed in terms of IVs, nature and if possible ability.
If I can't get the help ill roll with the team I have anyway, though I may be busy tomorrow and Sunday, however Monday should be free for me to match up thanks to it being a bank holiday, but if this weekend being out is a problem then I can avoid entering entirely.

Some close battles there and it makes me feel like my team can do better when not against types with easy access to ice and fair moves. Got lucky with outrage lasting 3 turns or confusion not coming back to hurt me in a few fights.

>>32610277 Personally I feel the SpD boost sand stream gives it gives tar more longevity but I guess if you feel it would only hurt your team that's you.

You know, both sand stream and unnerve will be shown to activate upon tar coming out, I don't think having zoroark pretending to be tar will be good if they know of both its abilities.
