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

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly made that battle different from the average one? Well other than the 3-4 bonehead plays both people made?

I dont think a single move made had a thought process or a read. They essentially took a parrotkeet and let them jump around the keyboard hoping for the right button press

I looked at the battle a second time and see what you meant. Especially one particular play that bothered me. Who uses a rock type attack on a rock type pokemon when the pokemon using it knows EQ?

Rock oddly enough doesn’t resist itself… Only time a Rock type can’t damage another Rock type is due to the other guy’s secondary type.

I have nothing for the rest of that dumb ass match.

Only 1 play bothered you? Oh my boy, we might need to show you a regular match sometime

In a battle that should have taken place much much sooner Bious wins over Bulldancer.

And now he gets to go against White Shadow!!!

WHO WILL WIN? WHO WILL GO HOME SALTY? WILL THE MATCH EVER GET DONE? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!

I’d rather not sit through a 500 turn battle with switch ins every 2-3 turns.

Regular matches are about 20 turns…

Oh thank God. I’ve been shown a whole bunch of matches that lasted a few hundred turns being made to believe that was the norm. Yeah if you want I’m willing to watch a few of these normal matches. May even help me to learn not to suck.

If a match goes to 500 turns it’s probably gens 1-3

Gens iv and newer are much faster unless one side loses SR hence those god awful matches

been playing other games now but I still love this team. Volcorona makes things easy…

Does anyone know when they are gonna send out the codes for mega Beedrill and Mawile? Also you only have to play 3 matches to be eligible for them right?

Welp my first shot at 7th Gen battling. God I suck lmao

While WS and I are still trying to fight (my fault) I’m gonna go ahead and alter the rulelist a bit now that we’re Post-Bank.

  1. Pheromosa is unbanned.
  2. Tapus are Guardians, Ultra Beats are Ultra Beasts for the sake of tournament rulesets.

With that said, I would love to hear thoughts and discussions on where you all think the SRK meta should go from here.
Let me get the ball rolling; I think Genesect should be unbanned.

Keep genesect banned

Fuck pheromosa, mega metagross, protean greninja, and tapu lele

I…actually agree with that…only recently I have been playing and losing to all of those mons for various reasons.

Aegislash solves almost all of those problems… :coffee:

Been playing Monotype lately, and gotta say - it should be an official format. Too much fun.

Aegislash meta was dumb and basically “whose aegislash is still alive”

I haven’t lost to Pheromosa, Megagross, or Greninja, but I do admit that checking/ countering Tapu Lele is pretty ridiculous when it comes to teambuilding.
