And you all have the nerve to call me ignorant.
Oranguru was milk carton status at the most recent tourney, and there was only one Evoboost team in top 8, and he got blown up by the one guy smart enough to outplay that shot.
No one asked about the most recent tourney. That shit doesn’t tell the future nor does it dictate the flow of the meta. Those strats are powerful and easy, so people WILL be using them often.
I said smogon doubles, not vgc. Vgc is dominated by tapus right now cause of the 4v4 format. They support so well that 4 pokes usually cant handle them. Eevo boost was obnoxious in 6v6 doubles cause those extra 2 mons help give it the support it needs
It’s like you dont even read sometimes
No one used Oranguru because everyone prepares for it. The meta has moved past that gimmick. Hell, even Celesteela wasn’t getting anything done, because everyone had a Magnezone and/or Arcanine to bully it.
The dude that won didn’t have a single UB or Tapu…
Araquanid is the real rain hero, and everytime Koko popped up, it was promptly swatted back down.
Too many fairies running around for Kingdra to last more than a turn.
Please watch some VGC videos, then talk shit about doubles.
Too bad we’re not talking about VGC…
If you think the Tapus and Araquanid don’t shit all over your rain strategy, we don’t need to be having this discussion.
All anyone needs is Porygon2, Araquanid, Muk, and Tapu Fini and you lose at team preview.
Um. Raichu OHKOs araquanid and will outspeed with e terrain up. Tapu fini dies to both koko and Raichu. Porygon2 can only tank so much (these are mewtwo like attacks coming his way) and muk is 2hkod without assault vest by tbolt/water move
Also e terrain boosted thunders do a fuckton of damage to everything you listed. Have fun
That does not win at the team preview
Oh word? Build that team and come see me on Wi-Fi then.
Here’s Tapu “Can’t get the job done” Koko getting him and his teams blown up*(skip ahead past the announcers talking it up)*:

Here’s Koko calling in his sister, Pelipper, Metagross, and still getting served:

The main point to take away is watch how little Tapu Koko itself actually does in these matches.
Fuck your VGC videos. Build your team and come get this work.
Alright, we’re done here.
Your team posted wouldnt work yet you post vids going “look at koko doing nothing to electric immune teams”
no wonder we hate you
Oh, I forgot to mention Marowak… My bad.
My point is*(as it always is)*, is that no one team or archetype is unbeatable, and if you’re just blindly following trends, you’re going to get blown up, especially in Doubles.
Tyrone was talking out the side of his mouth about how he thinks Doubles works, and I mentioned how the obvious stuff that everyone used for the first month is already being counter-teamed and beaten… With actual examples.
And that’s something Ban-Fest: the website never, ever, ever does.
Enough talking. I don’t like talking. Turn your hat to the back and come get bodied, Po.
Why you ducking?
No, im saying your example is bad and you should feel bad
You only see things your way and no one elses and have such a blind hatred towards smogon that you refuse to see what actually goes on. Im not here to defend tyrone but read what you actually post to try and help instead of spewing “fuck smogon” everywhere in this thread. I post it because we play on the simulator so we should know what happens when we team build for it. I tried explaining why they banned eeveenium and your counter argument is basically “theyre scrubs and cant handle it”. Please stop. It’s not helping and super fucking annoying.
Your example doesnt work because it doesnt actually stop electric spam. And then you post vids saying “see how koko does nothing” which hurts you because those teams were prepped for it and yours wasnt. I also said tapus are dominating VGC (which they are, no matter what team won) cause 4v4 format makes it harder to handle them than a 6v6
You really can’t post that VGC final cause Enosh legimately fucked himself out of a win.
Hence why I did not post the final.
Speaking of Kingdra why is it and several other Mons that aren’t in the Alola Dex usable in Prebank showdown?
You answered your own question.
PRE-Bank… as in, it ain’t January yet, so if it isn’t in the game that shit can’t be used.
Also, relevant image:
I think Horsea can be gotten with island scan actually, so it is available in the alola dex right?
