I love VGC! VGC is my tier ^^
I made a makeshift team around Specs Gengar that seems to be working pretty well. Here's it in action

Use Encore to restrict the enemy's choices. Use Safeguard to help protect the team from status afflictions. Use Shadow Tag to lock them in, giving you the opportunity for the perfect switch-ins and setups. I'm not saying he's great but I think you can still make lemonade out of Wobby lemons.

Though everything boiled down to Poliwrath / Cloyster vs one man Wobby. Poliwrath kept Protecting while Cloyster got Encore'd a Shell Smash.
Much fun.

Baby's first Sableye experience. (VGC 2014, 13 turns)
Spoiler: show Still stuck languishing in the 1100s. I think my current score is 1160? Earlier today it was as low as 1048. Not good. Not sure which is worse ... (VGC 2014, 8 turns) Spoiler: show How do you work around this strategy? Seriously, I'd like to know. I'm sure there's a way but I'm just as sure it doesn't exist on any of my current teams. ~_~ (VGC 2014; 6 turns) Spoiler: show

Re: That cool team with the Gengar and Raichu
Taunt seems like it rains on their parade pretty hard. Or Sleep. Basically something to make sure they can't attack every turn, because the strategy seems pretty dependent on being able to do that- Being unable to use Protect or Volt Switch would utterly ruin the strategy. EDIT: Fallen_Ninja |

Prankster Taunt literally is the only way. Perish Song Meg Gengar is still hilariously viable in doubles.

Taunt is only necessary on one Pokemon per team, adn you can judge whether you need it or not from team preview. Also Quick Guard is better on Talonflame than Protect due to utility
EDIT: Nugget Bridge(<3) is hosting a tournament on PS, PO, and Wifi, so go sign up here if you want in. Beware: Top 4 has to be in the game :O

Having never run Sableye in my life, I'd be interested to know where and when you thought I said this. (Rhetorically. No worries. It happens.)

Sableye is admittedly not that great because the only fast status users are M-Gengar and Aerodactyl and Aerodactyl can deal with the rest of them while also providing joint Tailwind and/or Wide Guard support, While Sableye can use Fake Out but otherwise its fairly dead weight against any special attackers and priority burns are done better by Mega Banette anyways

Re: Perish Song
Well I got around that retarded Restaurant Le Wow packing Feint. Maybe you should consider picking up the move? It BREAKS protect, not just INFILTRATES it. It's ideally a doubles move because it lets you take out threats. While Ghosts are immune to the damage portion, it will still break the Protect, Detect, Wide Guard, Quick Guard, Spiky Shield, etc. on them. In a mode dominated by Protect I'd call this pretty damn useful; give it a shot. You can use it to take out the Shadow Taggers and rotate your Pokemon out, giving you a much larger window of opportunity to destroy them. It's a very cleverly designed team, however. Me likey.

Feint is so good Goodra's getting use in VGC these days. Also for being immune to seeds but still

Wherein words are mightier than moves. (Doubles Random Battle, 25 turns)
I don't understand it when people do this. (This is the second time this has happened to me, a different person each time.) It's down to one Pokémon remaining on either side. Neither of us can beat the other. It's going to come down to a PP stall war. We're keeping our cards close to our chests, trying not to reveal what moves we have until we must. While all four of mine have long since been revealed, my opponent keeps his fourth move a secret until Turn 24. Upon seeing it, it becomes a simple bit of arithmetic to figure out who is going to win and who is going to lose:
So anyway ... we both know we're in a PP stall fight, we both know one another's movesets, and so I address the elephant in the room and ask him for an honest PP tally. Rather than say, "You first," which in this case I'd be happy to since I'd be 99% certain I genuinely have less PP than he does ... and rather than say how much he has remaining first himself ... he just leaves. Uhh ... why? I don't understand. Why would you (rage?)quit when asked to share how much PP you have left yet you're perfectly happy to waste nearly twenty out of twenty-five turns engaging in the more distasteful activity of PP stalling? Like, wouldn't you welcome a chance to end things prematurely through diplomacy? Wouldn't you at least laugh at me for my diplomatic gesture if you suspected it was a dishonest ploy? Why would you quit? Why would you forfeit a game you believe yourself to have won, a game you had to have CLEARLY recognized was a PP stall war before I said anything, just because I spoke up and asked you for a tally of how much PP you had left?

So, just played Randbats. Had Arceus Ground. Here's the set:
Arceus-Ground@Earth Plate -Swords Dance -Earthquake -Recover -Fucking Calm Mind But seriously, what went wrong with the moveset generator? This was a major contributor to me losing the game, because the opponent mostly had stuff that was immune or resisted ground, so without the extra coverage I was seriously boned. |
