should private message each other with time schedule slots and try to agree on somethin imo
get out of here with that sound logic
Personally, I feel that for the time being we just ban whatever the Battle Maison doesn’t allow, and then either add or remove from there. This list includes:
[details=Spoiler]Mewtwo
Mew
Lugia
Ho-oh
Celebi
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Jirachi
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina (both forms)
Phione
Manaphy
Darkrai
Shaymin (both forms)
Arceus
Victini
Reshiram
Zekrom
Kyurem (plus both of the alternate forms)
Keldeo (both forms)
Meloetta (both forms)
Genesect
Xerneas
Yveltal
Zygarde[/details]
Since this is an in-game ban-list, so it’s a good starting point, and we can adjust the list as we go on depending on what we feel should be banned, or what should be taken off of this list.
played some showdown. been losing to some lucario pretty hard. rip.
i’m liking greninja/infernape on my team though lol
wait, the maison bans keldeo? that seems out of place, i wonder why
Likely because it’s an event legendary.
The maison bans all legendary pokemon period.
No it doesn’t. It still allows Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, Suicune/Entei/Raikou, the regis (including Regigigas), Latios/Latias, Heatran, Cresselia, Azelf/Mesprit/Uxie, the Musketeer Trio, the genies, etc.
Oh it allows the trios but not keldeo that is weird.
it seems like cover legendaries and event legendaries
sure, any time after 6 30 west coast time is good with me.
(still needs to decide on a team for the simulator tournament)
In truth fashion, I have now given myself more options instead of less when I should be narrowing things down given I still want to try to use Hawlucha sooner rather than later. Hmmm…
Regardless, I’ll be around all weekend–including tomorrow most likely–in case BullDancer vs. The Co-Jones finishes up before then. Just PM me or something.
…Okay? I’m not disputing that. Literally all I said was a) I find Rotom-Wash boring to use and b) I currently don’t to use it on the rain team. That’s it. I said nothing about its actual value or anything like that, just how enjoyable I find using it, which is…kinda important.
I’m still open to using it on another team now that I’m not using it on the rain team. It’s just that it won’t fit on any of my other current teams, especially since it can’t pull off Flame Orb Trick like Rotom-Heat can.
Thanks for the input. It’s noted and such like always; I’m just not using it.
(Also, I’ll admit that I’m probably going to switch back to Sleep Powder on Mega Venusaur despite your suggestion. Synthesis hasn’t been helping, though that admittedly is due at least in part due to having Damp Rock on Grace the Politoed.)
flame orb trick on rotom-h is useless when he gets will-o-wisp, it’s much more crippling to trick specs or scarf onto a wall (trick those choice specs onto AV conk if you really want to fuck with him), especially when those are very common switch-ins to rotom and could give two shits about being tricked a flame orb (or being burned for that matter)
i suggested rotom-w on your rain team as he would do the role you have rotom-c doing but way better, this was more about making your team better while doing the least amount of changes to it
i’m not 100% sure mega venu is actually good on a rain team, it really needs synthesis to survive, while the only thing close that can replicate what mega venusaur can do is ferrothorn, they are entirely different, i honestly would just use another mega here that isn’t mega zard or mega houndoom, maybe mega ampharos
Okay, so I am building this silly team that I think could blow apart the OU Meta.
Rotom-W
Greninja
Volcarona
Skarmory
Garchomp
Togekiss
The idea is to scout with Rotom-W or Greninja, and then U-Turn/Volt Switch into Skarmory, Defog, set up Stealth Crack, and then sweep with Garchomp, Volcarona, or Togekiss.
I don’t see how Rotom-W is boring to you when Rotom-H isn’t? Its basically the same thing except one is really good and the other is ok. We got a whole lot of hipster Dan players on these forums lol.
Oh, I’m a hipster Dan to the fullest. I’ve decided not to go try hard in this simulator tourney and to just have fun. I’m currently contemplating between AV Gallade and AV HitmonLee. Decisions Decisions.
AV gallade has some actual shenanigans
i’d go with normal gem hitmonlee if i were you, bring on the unburden HJKs
That seems interesting Mood. I’m using Normal Gem+Fake Out is the shenanigan?
I know AV Gallade has shenanigans, because I was one of the first to try that set, if not the first.
Also currently thinking of going with Sword Dance +3 moves (EQ, MegaHorn, Poison Jab most likely) Scolipede. No one really expects that as they usually think of the Baton Pass set (which is still viable).
Zangoose is a given. I may switch him out for Ursaring, but it’s not likely.
Do I care that I’m giving away my potential team composition? Not really.
yea, normal gem + fake out on hitmonlee, it’s pretty nasty, he’s just frail as shit (having base 45 HP is also terrible for an AV set, despite the base 105 SpD)
the problem with attacking scolipede is that it’s hardwalled by so many things that he’d rather gtfo
zangoose > ursaring, even by looks
be a real man, run staraptor
Don’t like flying types.
I may even run Infernape or Darminatan. Depends on how I’m feeling. I wish I could use my boy Blaziken :sad:
Zangoose will have to take his place as mascot pokemon.
