Comp. Pokemon Thread MK2: Let's Go Back To Kanto Like Everyone Wanted!

Annnnd with that Loco is exiled from this thread until January 14th.

GG’s Po!

Guess I am the only 4 time champ left in this thread. Time to talk shit to po to make up for Loco’s absence.

At least i got 3 w’s

Remember we got a Tournament!

Also a fashion contest.

Woke up this morning to a brave new world. I’m extremely proud of both players for showing each other the respect and civility they deserve in the aftermath. Hats off to both.

Damn what a set of matches…So much hype! That last one had me excited to see how it ended!

What’s good you fucking nerds. I was pretty slow on finishing SuMo but now I’m starting to look into min/maxing stuff. What’s it looking right now?

What do you want to play? Tapus and mega beasts are all insane. A-Marowak Mereanie and others are all worth having. Can also wait until bank is released.

Oranguru + Torkoal + Tapu Bulu

All you need for doubles

Tapu anything rocks.

Anything good I suppose. I enjoy balanced teams (like what I played last gen). Also not really interested in doubles.

Well look it up im not going through all the options pokemon has lol. I can help with sets or EV’s or w/e but not building an entire team.

Oh yeah, for the tournament Ash-Greninja is technically not in the Pokedex and is not allowed. Magearna is allowed though!

Sorry for the lateness on that, I meant to post it sooner but the grudge match bumped it from my mind.

Nah I wouldn’t ask anyone to make an entire team for me. I was just curious what was popular at the moment. I’m hype for Pokebank though.

Right now all of the Tapus are powerful, Aegis and Lando-I got banned again, Lando-T is still popular, Toxapex is a popular new wall, all Ultra Beasts are good (Besides Guzzlord who has a lot of issues and Pheromosa who is extremely powerful and likely to get banned), A-Marowak is a popular anti-Meta mon, Dugtrio got a boost in attack and can tear a hole in teams, Genesect and Hoopa U are unbanned and causing havoc, Greninja is just chilling, Pelipper and Manatine got life-saving buffs that have made them shine, Breloom died due to fairies, Gengar fell off his throne of OU Forever King due to losing Levitate, Clefable faltered a bit due to new fairies and T-Wave Nerf, A bunch of Megas are missing, and Talonflame died as well due to nerfing.

Pokemon cheating is serious business…

There’s also a video out there of some scumbag using 3 Z-moves in one battle… AND STILL LOSING.

Hack your single player shit, give yourself tons of items/BP/whatever, but keep that shit out of competitive.

Trying to hold off using Gengar in this Gen because of the nerfs, but he’s so good lol.

Skarmory walled his whole team

Gengar is still King of OU, people just haven’t realized it yet. Losing Levitate just gave it more power due to Tapus being everywhere… Pseudo STAB Psychic/immunity to Sucker Punch, Pseudo STAB T-bolt/immunity to Sleep, Extra healing/EQ debuffs/Pseudo STAB Giga Drain(post-Bank).

Plus being able to shit on all the Tapus in addition to Z-move shenanigans, the plodding pace of the Alola Dex making it in the 90% percentile of speed, as well as its ridiculous movepool keep Gengar winning.

Thanks for the rundown. I just learned about Pheromosa and it seems pretty damn busted. Trying to currently get a good nature on it. I want to use Pheromosa, but I have a feeling it’s gonna get banned pretty soon. I’m not even sure if I’ll have a real team by the time PokeBank comes out.

For now I’m considering Nihilego, Pheromosa, and Garchomp. Need to look into other mons I’d like to use I guess. When PokeBank comes out, I’ll probably put Mega Venusaur back on the team since he’s my boi.

What did they do to nerf Talonflame into the ground (goodbye bitch).

I like this offensive sample, but this match was bullshit. 1 percent? LOOOOOOOOLLLL
