Pokemon Online(not showdown) allows you to play people also…
Without a download?
no but the file is pretty small so it shouldn’t be hard to download it, it doesn’t have the pretty aesthetics of pokemonshowdown though
I was just wondering because I can’t download anything at work, lol.
I’ll just try this at home.
I said bring in so he gets 2 possible shadow sneaks although an iron head or shadow ball on the come in then a follow up shadow sneak works as well or better.
Sign-ups will cut off around 4 PM EST. I’ll post matchups around 6 EST.
To whomever is my opponent: can we face each other on the 29th?
I wont be back in the states until then and this craptastic internet from Mexico won’t let me do anything.
@Bious is that okay?
Who’s my opponent?
how long is the first round going to be, I’m going on a mexican cruise on friday night, and won’t be back for a week.
Maybe we should hold off.
We do have quite a few AWOL people…
Alright, if it’s fine with most of you I can start late next week instead. We’ll be in PokeBank Terroritory, but ah well.
Im okay with that, still trying to put together a team for rotation battle anyway and I’ve been busy all week because of finals. How many people signed up anyway?
Thanks Bious! :tup:

Alright, I tweaked my team again and it does even better(from what I’ve seen), I use Musharna as my trick room lead now because she takes a hit much better than Reuniclus.
I’ve been debating on replacing Mursharna’s leftovers with a life orb, since genesect is running around, she doesn’t get to eat more than one attack anyway.
Mursharna doesn’t learn focus blast, so I have baton pass so I can’t be pursuited after setting up trick room. I gave Rotom W the boot, because one extra trick roomer on a trick room team>Rotoms
Tyranitar got the boot in favor of Aegislash because it has priority and covers the Tyranitar weakness that my team ironically has.
EDIT: For Porygon, I’ll probably end up replacing thunderwave with tbolt(yes, only to beat Talonflame) because I get to keep Trick Room up more often. Only having two trick roomers on my team at the time wasn’t the business. Twave works against a Trick Room team.
DOUBLE EDIT: Leftovers is saving me in some battles and not doing so much in others. I’ll figure something out.
when building a trick room team, you almost treat it like a current weather team, you need at least 1 pokemon to set it (in the case of trick room, 2 pokemon is a must) and you have reuniclus and porygon2, so this step is a check.
now, because of trick room, you need something to abuse it but not depend on it, you got mega mawile, conkeldurr, and aegislash, who are all awesome without TR but even deadlier with it, so i give you an A+
one minor tidbit, you should have as little speed as possible on aegislash, conkeldurr, porygon2, and mawile so you can really abuse trick room, settling for 50/50s is not what you want with trick room, you always want to win so make them really slow to abuse trick room
now musharna i feel needs to be replaced, you already have the two best setters for trick room in reuniclus and porygon2, and sharing a shitty defensive typing is bad (both reuniclus and musharna are psychic), you lack some defensive synergy on your team so adding a dragon or a water type would be very beneficial, actually, azumarill would be great on this team working as your revenge killer and the glue to make it work, i feel this would be more beneficial than having musharna on the team

I guess this is how my team plays under normal conditions(and don’t remind me that I could’ve switched Mawile into that outrage, I forget about the fairy typing sometimes)
EDIT: I do need another trick roomer, but most of their speed tiers are too high. Sometimes one of my roomers gets choice crippled and without a spare trick room user, I just die.
Cofagrigus seems like an alright choice, especially since he gets a pain split that always goes first out of the deal. Too bad I can’t find anything so far that doesn’t get pursuit trapped(other than Gallade, who is kinda pushing it as far as speed goes, but I can always give her 0 speed IVs and a speed reducing nature, also she doesn’t autodie to U-Turn).
Or not, Gallade is worse than Musharna because he’s too frail to set up trick room in the first place.
EDIT: Maybe I’ll use some Claydol rapid spin, trick room, dual screens love
my fav trick roomer was bronzong. trick room and explosion. of course it used to be neutral to ghost/dark but steel nerf rip.
That’s not a bug. Pursuit has priority over switching, which has prority over mega evolving. That’s why you can’t mega evolve and switch on the same turn.
Edit: I found a video you’re right. Disregard the above. It appears they’ve revamped the priority stages.
The last bug I recall is Defiant not activating on Sticky Web’s speed drop, but I haven’t played in a few weeks.
completely forgot about bronzong as a TR user, it’s definitely one you should use on your team, if you really want that 3rd TR setter
