Online Competitive Pokemon Battle Showdown Happy Fun Times

[Talon87]

Miss an important meeting. Upset. Not thinking. Decide to go battle to blow off steam. Bad idea. Three battles later, I've fallen from the 1420s to the 1340s. -.- Oh well.

[rotomotorz]

Seaking is good but others are better. But the FUCK YEAH SEAKING factor is strong

[Kyro12]

It is. Now, I'm not gonna make an RMT thread for this because I just wanna make one slight modification to the team, but I'd like to hear the opinions of the chat: What should I replace Mawile with? Lucario is really doing everything I had Mawile on there to do, and then some (dealing with MegaMom, mostly, but Lucario can take care of MegaMom /and/ Ferrothorn, which both give my team trouble). And as far as killing dragons, well, Kingdra deals with them swiftly, so that's not a concern. Any ideas?

[rotomotorz]

Lol Dragons(VGC 2014)
Noivern and Bisharp for best Dragon slayers

Also kyro I don't know much about your team but you need something to deal with Mega Charizard in the sun if Said Charizard outplays you. Something simple like Garchomp will do but you need it. You team would also need more physical prowess than just Mega Lucario if you took out Mawile

EDIT: How did I even(VGC 2014)
Bulky Zard pulls through

EDIT II: Fuck you lifehax(VGC 2014)
I stare in the face of hax and say "Have a nice day"

[Talon87]

"You're not scared. Props." (VGC 2014, 7 turns)

Spoiler: show

I may not have been scared of him, but boy if I didn't think I'd lost the game by the end of Turn 5. ^^; Two fantastic turns of calls in a row, Turns 6 and 7, see me winning the match 2-0. (Well, he forfeit when it was 2-1, but I had double priority and his Hydreigon was sitting at less than 40% HP, so ...)

Given my opponent's scores in VGC 2014, I'm pretty pleased with this outcome. I feel like a figurative David having just taken down Goliath after the latter's remarked, "You're not scared of me ... are you, boy? "

[Shuckle]

Honestly I couldn't see you losing that one. Call it just me, but when he ignored your Aegislash I knew it couldn't end well for him. Sure enough, you got BOTH Swords Dances off and each time proceeded to shadow sneak your enemies to death.

Bad MegaMom calls in all counts as well, didn't absorb a single Ghost move.

I love random battles. They are much more fun than the Metronome disk in XD, without a doubt.

Except that I went to the actual VGC Nationals event and barely play VGC on Showdown. :P

[rotomotorz]

HR we need to battle sometime because you're obviously good :P

[Chiko]

I prefer 3DS format > Showdown. O:

Anyway, you are right, we should.

HYPER OFFENSE COME THRUUUU~

[KamenAeons]

We oughta have a Multi Tourney amongst us UPNers. Shame it's a nightmare to set up tourneys, let alone Multi ones.

[Chiko]

That's true Kamen, I tried to hold a ridiculous tourney which went nowhere due to lack of interest.

Hmm... Timezones will, no doubt, kill this tournament if we try to set it up.

Te team i used was okay on the normal ladder but wasn't getting anywhere on the suspect ladder.

If it comes across as me bragging, then I'm sorry. That is not my intent in any way. I know my limitations and how good I am (above average like I said earlier). I'm not gonna claim to be anything else unless I feel that i am, which I don't.

shaddap and take a compliment willya?

[rotomotorz]

Omg I can haz hax too(VGC 2014)
The boosts honestly didn't matter much but they helped it be 4-0 instead of 2-0 or 1-0

[Cloneblazer12]

Stance Dance can't save you

Spoiler: show

So apparently someone made this team (not this guy) and made it to #1 on the ladder with it. Of course, I didn't know this at the time, so my natural reaction to see Stance Dance Aegis (SD / Sneak / Sword / KS) this high on the ladder made me face palm. Needless to say, Mamoswine was clutch, KOing 5 of the pokes on this team.

[Quilavaflare]

*random first post*

So, what do you think are the two most important support moves for a Mega Aero set? Protect, Taunt, Wide, or Roost?

[rotomotorz]

Sky Drop

[Quilavaflare]

Well, obviously, but... I meant besides Rock Slide and Sky Drop.

[rotomotorz]

OKay then....

Singles or Doubles?

[Quilavaflare]

Oh, sorry, doubles. Can't edit stuff right now. And if you were confused about me saying "support moves" ... yeah, I don't really know the terminology very well either, sorry. I was planning on using this in Wi-fi cartridge battles as well, if that makes any difference.

[rotomotorz]

Noo support moves makes sense but you'd never use Wide Guard in Singles so. That said use Taunt and maybe Wide Guard if you're afraid of Rock Slides

[Quilavaflare]

I'm leaning towards Taunt and Roost just because mega is slightly bulkier and aero's partner isn't very concerned about rock slide. Although I don't know if that warrants using it or not.

Thanks!

[rotomotorz]

Also consider Tailwind :P Roost makes you EQ weak if only for a turn

[Red Panda]

Is Sky Drop usable in VGC format? I mean viable, not legal.
