    3v3 Singles Metagame Discussion Thread

    I think my google translate hates me :( Was looking up stuff for mega-ven "Double flame ice flight over such times no rocky Mushidoku spirit dragon steel evil half闘水power four half grass and exhibit high performance in Taiamepa mainly thanks to the special durability and type. It can be said...

    Why are other countries so underrepresented on Battle Spot rankings?

    This totally makes sense. Similar to what you said concerning a lot of Japanese players might not be interested a such a different style of play, most of the western community (as it currently is centered around smogon) would likely be uninterested in the no-house-rules style, most evident by...

    Keep eyes peeled for strange things.

    Japanese company has released a save editor working with x/y for japanese cartridges only. Have to pay them ~$70 for the dongle This opens up a rather gigantic can of worms :( I *think* Singles/Doubles battlespot'll be fine because hack checks Free passerby battles are probably going to go...

    Answers/Counters to various specific pokemon in Battle Spot singles

    I'd totally go for a Thundurus, but lacking a gen 5 cart to rng off of (or a king's ransom in shinies, it seems), I've gone without. Haven't considered whimsicott, but I'll look into it. I've fought the thing twice while being superbly grumpy fighting it both times, so it does interest me a bit.

    Answers/Counters to various specific pokemon in Battle Spot singles

    Loved the suggestions! Gyarados has been super kind to me. For another specific pokemon that can be problematic, are there a variety of good answers to Klefki? I've heard good things about unaware quagsire, and personally have had success with lumchomp, there has to be other non-niche (ie not...

    Answers/Counters to various specific pokemon in Battle Spot singles

    I'd be happy to rewrite the opening post if people have tips on formatting/content. Typically I go to aegislash vs Cress, but the day of the original post Aeg met calm mind and didn't put out enough damage with the shadow balls :( The Thundurus-I's I have encountered have packed focus blast...

    Answers/Counters to various specific pokemon in Battle Spot singles

    Historically I've drawn off of the ou analyses and the global link information to figure out how to beat various individual pokemon, but often the discussions aren't geared towards the spot metagame. I hope this thread is an acceptable place to ask about specific pokemon in spot. Two pokemon...

    Think Fast Competition

    This feels relevant http://i.imgur.com/dZIk8wW.jpg?1 On one hand I *loved* the faster pace, but on the other I'm not a fan of timestalling and wish there was a chess clock-like system. Next Think-Fast is in August, but it's doubles so I'm not sure if I'll give it a shot.

    Think Fast Competition

    I completely quit the competition after a greninja flinched rotom-w to death and managed to freeze my next two pokes with 1 ice beam each. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have, but was just furious.

    Nintendo finally supports 6v6 singles (kind of)

    Guessing sustain via recover/moonlight will be important in the no item 6v6 singles. More interested in the Detonation Velocity from the source you linked XD " Detonation Velocity This tournament will be open to all players from around the world and run from June 6th to 9th, 2014 after taking...

    General Battle Spot Singles Gameplay Questions

    Apologies for the delayed replay (mutter mutter RL), but thank you both for your insights! MythTrainerInfinity I've switched over Kang to the PuP set, though I find myself only running it in my 6 part of the time. In general are the builds found on the global link (via usage) better than...

    General Battle Spot Singles Gameplay Questions

    Having picked up X at the end of March, I've wanted to play better competitively. I've read the intro, played some on showdown, and thought I understood most of the basics of what are the main threats of the format, but overall I'm an abysmal battler (My current in-game rated record is 9-9 or...

    2014 April Friendly

    12-4 so far, with the team I had on hand (been busy, it's a no-mega OU legal team -_-) low 1600s ish, but super excited since this is my first competition. I have got to work on my preview evaluation skills. Decided to take brief notes http://pastebin.com/1LrnA9LN as a little record, hoping to...

    Battle Spot Teambuilding Discussion & Help Thread (read post #453, page 19)

    Thanks for you insight! I definitely like the points you've brought up! I will probably go the mandibuzz/ferro rocky helmet route for Mega-K, as currently my Gengar is the 3 attack/Dbond set. I feel bad for such a short reply to your well thought post, and when I think of more, I'll add it!

    Battle Spot Teambuilding Discussion & Help Thread (read post #453, page 19)

    Does switching to D-claw miss out any notable ko's that Outrage would normally get at +1? I love outrage's power, but I can definitely see why I'd need to be careful with it. What's a good non-niche check against mega-k? I asked my friend and he basically said "your own mega-k at +2" so I'm...

    Hello! New to XY, having skipped two generations of competitive pokemon, and very eager to build and improve my ingame team for battle spot.
