  1. VGC Meerschaum

    Err, that is the whole point. Didn't you read Tapu Fini's description?
  2. VGC RMT: The Counters Paradise

    You did. You explained your EV spread and movepool choices in detail. What I was lamenting was the lack of explanation about the synergies of your team. "I use Mismagius as a suicide lead to then pass on Levitate to Alolan Muk" is an example of synergy. You originally said Alolan Muk was your...
  3. VGC RMT: The Counters Paradise

    Hi, so I'm gonna give you my 2 cents. I noticed you didn't go into a lot of detail about the synergy of your team. What pushed you to choose specifically these Pokémon? I get the impression that you just chose some of them because you thought they were cool. For example, you said you choose...
  4. VGC Meerschaum

    So, after writing this RMT post, I had a sort of revelation. I realized most of my team's weaknesses could be solved by using Magnezone in place of Metagross. Magnezone can fill the same role as Metagross, but it also helps me against bulky Water types, Kartana (thanks to Magnet Pull + HP Fire)...
  5. VGC Meerschaum

    Introduction Hello everyone. This is the first time I post a RMT topic, so I hope I did everything right and that I can receive useful suggestions. I first created this team because I wanted to use Tapu Fini, by far the least common Tapu in the format. While the other Tapus arguably outclass...
  6. Resource Gsc Mechanics

    Here's a few notable ones: All Eevee evolutions: Charm + Growth Alakazam: Encore + Substitute / Thunder Wave Chansey: Heal Bell + Counter / Reflect / Seismic Toss / Thunder Wave Clefable: Belly Drum + Body Slam / Double-Edge / Reflect / Substitute Exeggutor: Explosion + Synthesis / Moonlight...
  7. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    I do not respond of people using Gengar poorly. And I feel like you are forgetting I was talking about theorizing that EQ didn't exist. Big part of the reason Gengar isn't used all that much (where "not all that much", according to the stats Isa linked, means on 19% of all teams) is that EQ...
  8. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    It is, because without EQ Gengar becomes a free switch in, meaning Tauros threatens nothing as long as it is around. It doesn't become less effective, it becomes completely ineffective. We'd be all treating Tauros as we treat Zapdos now: "Oh, Tauros is quite a good Pokémon once you remove Gengar...
  9. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    How exactly do Cloyster and Lapras become scarsely viable? Both are still the only things that can safely switch on Tauros and Snorlax. Cloyster can still Clamp and Explode and Lapras can still threaten Chansey with parafusion. And STAB Hydro Pump / Surf is there for offense. The only thing that...
  10. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    Jellicent, sorry, but you haven't exactly argumented your opinion there. You just made a lot of statements (some of which I don't agree with, for example Ice being the best special offensive type in the game: no matter how awesome Blizzard is, you are not beating a lot of Pokémon with it, while...
  11. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    I think the criteria for our rankings should be: 1. How Pokémon of that type perform in the metagame; 2. How attacks of that type are important in the metagame; 3. How influential the typing is in the above two factors. "In the metagame" being the opposite of "On paper". For example, Water...
  12. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    The reason I don't agree with you about Thunder Wave is because Thunder Wave being Electric has no importance in why a Pokémon chooses to have it in its moveset. You don't pick it because it is Electric, you pick it because you want to paralyze stuff. On attacking moves, on the other hand, the...
  13. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    So, maybe first we should agree on the criteria we are basing our rankings on. For example, I don't think TW should matter when ranking Electric, because the typing of the move has no relevance besides Ground-types being immune to it. Which is a point in favor of Ground, but it doesn't say much...
  14. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    I won't argue against the statistics. I had a different perception, but it seems I underrated Jynx and Lapras's popularity. Just to be clear, though, I was comparing the frequency of teams with at least 1 Ground-type vs. teams with at least 1 Ice-type. Since Golem and Rhydon are not used on...
  15. All Gens The Best Types In History - Round 2: GSC (See post 114)

    Regarding gen 1. 1. Normal Normal is better than Psychic for offense primarily because you can have perfect coverage with Normal STAB (EQ, Blizzard and/or Surf), while there is no coverage move for Psychic-types. Also, physical > special, because there are a lot of good Pokémon with 1) great...
  16. Fly and Dig implementation and possible ban, opinions wanted

    I don't like messing with game mechanics. I play on simulators out of convenience, not because I want to play someone else's revised version of the game. I believe all additional rules should be implementable in a cartridge game. So I am for the correct implementation of Fly and Dig and their...
  17. Resource RBY & Tradebacks Bug Report Thread

    Joim, just a suggestion/request. Could you add some sort of tag in order to remind when Reflect/Light Screen are active? (Like the ones that appear when you use Focus Energy or are confused.) Or alternatively use the same Reflect/Light Screen animations employed in other generations? It seems...
  18. Gen 3 Gen 3 on PS, final fixes

    Since each battle room is unambiguously called "[player X] vs. [player Y]", why not make player X (i.e. the first name) the host? I'm not sure how the order of the names is chosen. Is it random, or is the first player the one who clicked "Look for a battle" first?
  19. Other Tiers RBY Random Battles Hub

    What's with all this complaining anyway? I thought the point of Random Battles is that you can get garbage Pokémon. Mewtwo without Psychic or Chansey without Softboiled are still better than Magikarp...
  20. Ladder Inverse Battle

    Because beating bad players isn't a sign of being a good player? Most of the time I see Curselax lose in Inverse is because the player insists on cursing up against the wrong Pokémon. I mean, if you do have a good understanding of the tier, you should be able to formulate a clear strategy to...
