AFK'd to 100 wins using Dynamax Mimikyu, AFKing in doubles with the rain team now. Why didn't they give dynamax to the NPCs in tower? Would've actually been very interesting.

They didn't let BT sets use Dynamax because they're supposed to be farmed, it'd drag out the run if you had to deal with every single battle using it. And it's appalling how few people run Ribombee+Ditto in singles, it completely invalidates the vast majority of the meta without even trying (I like to meme with a Throat Spray Kommo-o as my third since it doesn't need to DMax to sweep, which leaves it open for Ditto).

I just use Ditto to handle Mimikyu. Let it set up and sack a mon to break its Disguise and force LO recoil a bit, then counter-sweep.

>>41911504
Corviknight hard counters 13 of the top 19, and Sylveon's got a very solid niche. Not sure about Zard though, that caught me by surprise.

Jesus fucking Christ.
I've never in my life seen anything related to competitive Pokemon in the West get so much engagement, not even 1/4 of this. The Twitter of the people who posted the chart has 32k followers and it was only created on July of this year.
Meanwhile Smogon Twitter only has 68k, a little bit over double, despite having been made in July 2010. And TrainerTower and Nuggetbridge, the new and old VGC hubs, are only at 6k and 13k.
How the fuck do nips do it?
Why is the west such a joke in comparison to them?

There wouldn't even be any kind of competitive in the West nowadays if not for Smogon organizing something years and years ago.

>>41911644
Whatever they play is irrelevant. Nips simply organize themselves and their communities better without as much drama or attention whoring or focusing on e-peen as the communities and people here in the West.
