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

(I’ve no real comment on the counter-picking thing, though I can understand what Mood4food77 is getting at. I’m personally fine with going only one team since that seems easiest on the person running it, but I’m slightly biased because a) I was going to send my team to you anyway before I even fought and b) I was going to probably use just one team anyway even if “swaps” were allowed.)

I mean, it’s not like I expecting to win, even with a bye, so there’s that too. I’m kinda disappointed white shadow wasn’t around to sign-up, but there’s always next time I suppose–unless this time goes so disastrously that… [/always assumes the worst]

Anyway, going to try a decide on a team now rather than later. I’m “ThatTheDamned” on PokemonShowdown since someone apparently had my utterly generic name already. I’ll doubtless remind whoever wins between BullDancer and Co-Jones that though.


In talking about legendaries, what exactly does count as a legendary? Obviously every cover and every event-only pokemon (and Manaphy) counts, but I’m assuming this means that at the very least all the trios also count and maybe even stuff like Heatran? I’m assuming that just having BST as 600 doesn’t count, right? Otherwise Dragonite and Salamence and probably some others–Slaking?–get banned.

Not that this concerns me since it’s the Wi-Fi tournament, but as ever I’m just curious about semantics and language.

Legendary

[details=Spoiler]We got the cover legendaries:
Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, and Yveltal

We have cute legendaries, those with a base stat of 100 in each stat:
Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin, and Victini

We have Event legendaries, thsoe only obtainable from events whether they be in game or outside events, they have a BST of 600:
Latias, Latios, Deoxys, Heatran, Cresselia, Darkrai, Landorus, Meloetta, Genesect, and Zygarde

We have high powered event legendaries that have higher BST than the other event legendaries:
Regigigas and Arceus

and finally, we have the legendary trios, who have a BST of 580, they’re supposed to come in 3s but trollfreak fucked with our heads somewhat:
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Thunderus, Tornadus, and Keldeo[/details]

Not Legendary

[details=Spoiler]There are also pseudo legendaries, which are pokemon that have a BST of 600 but are obtainable like every other pokemon in the game:
Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Goodra

And last but not least, there’s Slaking who has a BST of 670
[/details]

i’m dumb and can’t figure out how to label, top spoiler is legendary pokemon, bottom label are those that have legendary stats but are not legendary pokemon

+the current gen ones

damnit, i went and explained it and phantom comes in here with a pretty picture

sadness

Phantom wins. Fatality.

look keldeo is the d’artagnan to the three musketeer-ions.

@Mood4food77

The trios are still trios. Some of them just have leaders, if you will. For example, Keldeo is to the Musketeer trio as Lugia is to the legendary birds.

still doesn’t exactly explain landorus, while part of a trio, has a BST of 600 unlike every other trio poke there is

he’s technically the boss of the other two, according to some flavor text i read…?

huh i didn’t really get the reshiram over dogs and zekrom over genies at all but whatever

zekrom controls the weather and the genies are his minions

reshiram protects the people and the mouseketeers are his minions

if that makes sense…i guess

Me neither lol… I’m either missing something, or they made that part up.

Edit: What Mood said makes sense.

I wonder if Reshiram is ideals [musketeers] and Zekrom is truth [Genies have different formes based on if you look at them with the lens or not]

Doesnt Cobalion lead the Musketeers sicknesses he’s the oldest and Keldeo is just a recruit?

Hey mood are you on right now?

Infernoman, the easiest time for my to play is 6:00 PM PST or higher. You?

sounds fine to me. I’m at work until 11ish every night. I’ll just need a day to get my team up.

So as you may have seen in the other Pokemon thread, Pokebank is now available in the US.

@Bious, how’s this gonna affect the Wi-fi tourney? You gonna allow Pokebank mons?

i was shoveling my drive way before but i can get on soon if you’re still available

Well that was oddly timed.

Instead of starting the Wi-Fi tournament this Friday, EVERYONE HAS A WEEK TO PREPARE.
