  1. Online Competition Mega Melee

    This seems pretty terrifying, not sure if I understand Perish Song mechanics exactly though. Does this mean that you faint first against any mon slower then you, and therefore lose?
  2. Online Competition 2017 No Holds Barred

    Went 23-7, ended up ~1750 Wanted to give a shoutout to Mr. Zigzagoon on the Pokemon Showdown servers, show him some love if you see him for giving me a Marshadow after hearing me complain. Practiced a lot for this tourney, wish it had gone a tiny bit better, but loved the meta! Really...
  3. Online Competition 2017 No Holds Barred

    Clarification, is there any reason to level mons to 100, or are their levels automatically raised on entry to the tournament?
  4. Online Competition 2017 No Holds Barred

    Serious question, does Marshadow build matter for NA Cartridge players if there isn't an official giveaway before the tournament? Is there a legitimate way to get non-hacked Marshadow to use before the end of the month?
  5. Online Competition 2017 No Holds Barred

    Ha that's what I thought he meant at first too, but he means as a reward for participation.
  6. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    How did you EV your Togekiss JHufself ? All out speed and Spatk, or speed and HP?
  7. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    24-7, ended up low 1700's. Love the direction GameFreak is going with these creative, novel metas; hated playing in this one. I know, I know, complaining about hax is tiresome and unproductive...but holy smokes, this tournament. I honestly felt the majority of my wins and losses were...
  8. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    Grats on the rating and great team Leader Wallace ! I'll check out some of those replays as well as post my own results a bit later today when I'm finished with my games.
  9. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    That's hilarious man, I also went 9-1 on my first day...while rockin' the Dhelmise! Did you apt for Heavy Slam or Anchor Shot? My favorite part of the tourney so far has been boppin people with stab Heavy Slams that they've totally forgotten about lol That being said... I wish I felt this...
  10. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    I've seen Throat Chop run on some Weavile's too. 10 more base power than Night Slash, don't have to worry about targeting a pokemon that's already used berry/WP with Knock Off, and there's the unlikely chance that you prevent a mon from using Bug Buzz/Clanging Scales/Screech (lol)
  11. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    Been enjoying the meta shifts on the Showdown Ladder, though I'm a little worried I'll adjust so much to it that cartridge meta will catch me by surprise! My favorite teams I've been beaten by have been bulky, middling-speed mons with a Tailwind and Trick Room setter to constantly fight for...
  12. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    I usually love trying to build anti-meta, but after laddering for a while it seems like I'm severely nerfing myself by not using Whimsicott. Prankster Tailwind/Taunt/Encore just seem like a flawless opener, anyone having any luck facing it as a lead? I did just get beaten by a mean...
  13. Online Competition Weakness Cup [playable on Showdown!]

    To clarify further, this competition is not restricted to pokemon from the Alola region, so pokemon brought up through PokeBank and Transporter are legal to use.
  14. Online Competition Tiny Tourney [NOW ON SHOWDOWN]

    Loved the idea behind this tourney so tried to theory-craft a team without lurking the Battle Spot forums; it was fun to see how many of the same ideas I shared with other battlers! I'd second Mishimono 's sentiments about Haze being overkill on Chandelure, wish I'd put Protect or Overheat in...

    Can someone tell me how to link team preview pictures? It looks like they might be taken from the PokemonGL website, what's the formatting?
