Would be really nice to have an option in the settings to choose a default format. I never play random (or whatever the current default is) I mostly just play VGC and Metronome battles. I'm sure many feel the same.

Another cool thing even could be the ability to point to a folder and have it use images from that folder. This would at least allow us to manually update/choose what images we like best for each mon too. This shouldn't be too hard as long as you follow a simple naming rule. Pikachu.jpg...

But why not just have both? They have past gen options for other categories. I think the changes in gen 8 are dramatic enough to warrant at least that.

So... gen 7 metronome dead? Edit: because I am super hating on gen 8 and it's lack of options.

Heh, oops I actually didn't notice that, still it was a nice set of defensive effects. I was originally trying to stack Fairy buffing effects tho lol. Hmm, I guess that is even more interesting that it did so well than. edit: In an attempt to re-capitalize on these effects I have come up with...

Ha, only thing I have been amused with that I have come up with is this team. I saw a guy doing Psychic Terrain and the Psychic seed so I thought this might be a more optimal version for me and it turned out to be shockingly consistent. Regirock especially shines here with both defensive stats...

This is what I came up with specifically for life orb. Edit: Not sure I like this team, lost a lot already. 4x weakness to ice really stinks and losing Magic Guard is almost a death sentence.

Ah I see, that was the key I was missing... I sort of moved away from that build already too anyways. Personally I like Magic Guard here. You may still be SOL to non-damage status effects, like para or physical moves damage reduction from a burn, but imo the worst part (the consistent damage...

It is not banned, I just used Magic Bounce in a match. I guess the advantage is that it trumps in a mirror match? (I.E. Magic Bounce vs Magic Bounce)

Gonna give this a whirl. Edit: Here is a match I feel a little bad about. I was just trying to give advice and then I won a little too hard lol. Edit2: I just had match where Storm Drain didn't protect me from Perish Song.... I wonder why.

I had no idea Storm Drain did that.... Now that makes that ability very interesting to me. Maybe try a Lightning Rod + Storm Drain team just to see how annoying it gets. Maybe find some good mons that could benefit nicely from a water/electric immunity(Like that ground/fire boi).

Are you saying Eviolite + Impostor Chansey is a thing?

Okay, then how did that guy do it in his replay? Edit: Nvm, I see he passed it on with receiver. New question then, why Diglett and not something that can die easier like Shuckle or Sunkern?

Why not just 2 sturdy Shedinjas?

If you wanna make a suicide team do it right lol. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993270624 Die (Shedinja) @ Toxic Orb Ability: Truant Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Spe IVs: 0 HP / 0 Atk / 0 Def / 0 SpA / 0 SpD - Metronome I Wanna (Shedinja) @ Toxic Orb Ability: Truant...

Bringing an ability for just one move feels like a waste of the ability to me. I would think you would want to use an ability that at least has a 50% chance of relevance each game. Perish song is just one of of many possible moves that Metronome can land on. Also 7 of the moves that Soundproof...

Yea, I can dig it. Even tho it was with the help of his Final Gambit I got a turn 1 also lol. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-991789539 Edit: Just thought about this, this is another shining example of Ampharos over Alakazam. I am pretty sure that Deoxy's Final Gambit...

I thought of that myself, but I personally think Aroma Veil is a waste of an ability choice. The taunt effect is rare enough, that the single use is all you really need.
