SRK Competitive Pokemon Battling Thread: Logoghoul and White Shadow Win! Bye Gen 6!

Alright, I’m giving Tolore the L. Sorry.
Next matchups will be posted around 6.

Sorry @tolore. I’ll take the loss instead @bious give tolore the win instead, it’s kinda my fault because i’ve been busy lately.

I flipped a coin and gave Piony the loss.

Moving right along…

Winners Side:
Tolore vs Phantom Angel

Losers Side:
Co Jones vs Po Pimpus
Saucy Piony vs The Martian

Try to get done as fast as you can.

sorry i was away on vacation and haven’t been able to piss off po

also, about a salty runback, how is it my salty runback if i’m the one who won? amiright?

anyways, smogon is slacking here, genesect, mega lucario, deoxys, manaphy, thunderus-I, and landorus-I all need to be banned, probably even kyurem-b thanks to the buff of defog (it’s so good now), seriously, all of these should’ve been instabanned a long time ago since nothing we gained actually helps…beat them (manaphy and thunderus-i only became slightly easier thanks to the drizzle nerf but seriously…they’re stupid)

i don’t even want suspect testing for these guys, i just want them banned, although i will be sad when deoxys-D goes away, he’s so much fun to use

haha first tie game. Fun match!

Anyone try Natural Gift on Talonflame yet? I had completely forgotten that move was buffed until I saw it on Serebii’s POTW. OHKOing TTar and Heatran or Rotom W seems like fun. Not sure if I wanna rock Roost or SD, though.

it’s an option, but he doesn’t need it, u-turning out against those pokemon is usually just a better option, they are also all 2HKO’d by a +2 brave bird, it’s not a bad option but it’s really unnecessary

lol @Martian did you just rage quit on me after taking 10 mins between every turn? God damn dude if you want help on making a competitive team just ask.

I won against phantom, good matches!

Very lol… GGs

For anyone who wants to see:

Game 1: CBZW-WWWW-WWW4-JUU8
Game 2: S8TG-WWWW-WWW4-JUUE
Game 3: 86FW-WWWW-WWW4-JUUG

yeah that game 3 was haxy, that hammer arm miss hurt me a lot, but then the game gave me a burn flare blitz and then a CRIT burn falre blitz.

Yea, it did. After that miss, I was contemplating forfeiting if Bisharp was going to win me the match. What came after made up for that lol

I wonder the answer to that one…:coffee:

How do we watch these again?

VS Recorder > Search By Code > Type Code

open up the vs recorder, there’s an option in there to put the code in.

(Ugh. I keep getting this threads mixed up with regards to what I’ve actually said in one and not the other.)

Since Mood4food77 keeps bringing up banning stuff to Ubers, I have to ask this question: How is the current Ubers environment in Generation VI, especially with stuff like Mega Gengar and Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Blaziken running around? Those three things seem far more dangerous than three new legendaries we got and the only already legendary Pokemon that got a Mega form was Mewtwo, right?

I wouldn’t mind helping you test things out, if you still need it, given it’s nice to see someone use a Klefki that isn’t based solely on “hax” and given that I’m a masochist like that.

I’m really confused as to why the first person you posted forfeited, though. “She” could have still easily won, especially since Goodra killed two of your Pokemon already and Toxic Spikes didn’t mean anything to more than half of her team, especially in just one layer. The latter is why I’m especially confused that you sacrificed Tentacruel just to get one layer up when it only would have affected Goodra and Conkledurr. [/armchair]

Ah, I should have figured out what the mysterious fourth move was given you said this was going to be a tie. I don’t know why I was expecting Self-Destruct.

so out of boredom, I feel like sharing this team I made and have been having fun playing on showdown:

STARSCREAM (Skarmory) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature

  • Spikes
  • Roost
  • Whirlwind
  • Brave Bird

WANDA (Blissey) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature

  • Soft-Boiled
  • Seismic Toss
  • Stealth Rock
  • Aromatherapy

SQUISHY (Gastrodon) @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature

  • Scald
  • Toxic
  • Recover
  • Infestation

TYRANT (Tyranitar) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Sassy Nature

  • Pursuit
  • Ice Beam
  • Stone Edge
  • Fire Blast

LOKI (Sableye) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature

  • Knock Off
  • Recover
  • Will-O-Wisp
  • Taunt

BOWSER (Garchomp) @ Choice Band
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature

  • Earthquake
  • Poison Jab
  • Fire Fang
  • Outrage

been working well for me though all I have been switching between scarf chomp and banded jolly chomp

replace poison jab with stone edge on garchomp, trust me, it’s so much better

the only thing poison jab does is guarantee a 2HKO on azumarill, which you already have a 94.1% chance of doing so with EQ
stone edge hits togekiss harder than poison jab while also being the strongest attack on mandibuzz, who is much more worrisome than most of the fairies that you would hit with poison jab

also, scarf over band, it’s his most effective set (since you’re saying you can’t decide between the two), with scarf, he’s a revenge killer that doubles as late game clean up, it’s amazing

also, you need a spinner, if you watched my matches with po, a big reason why the 3 matches i won were so lopsided was because he had a large portion of his grounded while not being able to rid his side of hazards (so he was constantly taking 30%+ each switch in, which made my job so much easier) and your team has 5/6 who take damage from hazards, i think running mandibuzz over skarmory might prove to be beneficial for a few reasons:

  1. You don’t need spikes, your team is bulky so it can take a few hits while also dishing them out. You don’t need the extra percents as much as you want since this not a stall team.
  2. Skarmory is a stall staple but really isn’t very good when it’s not on a stall team. Outside of tanking hits, it’s not doing much to help your team. Using Mandibuzz remedies this issue as it’s not a stall pokemon but definitely will support the team much better.
  3. Mandibuzz makes Aegislash its bitch while skarmory does not

using a simple set like

Mandibuzz @ Leftovers
Overcoat / Impish
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Roost
Defog
Foul Play
Taunt

Would be much more useful for the team than what skarmory provides

Jabs are for pansies anyways. Garchomp is manly, not a pansy. Don’t make Garchomp a pansy.

The team I built has 4 of the 6 pkmn capable of healing themselves plus Blissey is the cleric that can heal up status when needed. the other two are made to just finish off pkmn that have already been weakened by my hazards. I knew you were going to critique which is why I held back for so long posting up what I use. I wasn’t looking for that, I just felt like throwing out there what I ran because I’m mostly done playing with this team.
