Well, for Super Singles, Landorus and Tornadus both have Focus Blast...Since a bunch of people made it past the Super bosses now, would you be able to say what kind of movesets/items they have? Might be
helpful to know. and technically, we should all be noting down the movesets of new Pokemon, since they aren't in the big list of movesets. Also congrats Zodiac on breaking the 200 mark!
Since MMawile has sucker punch to make up for her poor speed, it's much better to invest in bulk to allow you to set up a swords dance or two. I'd rather fully invest in base 50 HP than base 50 Speed.I'm seeing a lot of people using megawile but investing in HP as opposed to something like speed (since attack is a given). Is the difference in longevity that much that's it's worth the loss of speed?
Oh man, I just watched that video, that was painful to see.Let me just say...that I just had a battle that I was completely freeze haxed. I won the battle but it went for WAY too long. Aegislash got frozen for like 9 turns and when defrosted for the first time, Cryogonal used one more Ice Beam and it froze me again for like 20 turns! Then when I finally beat it, Shuckle came in with it's Encore Shenanigans...ugh.
I saved the video too...it went for 46 TURNS! P55G-WWWW-WWW2-HUS9
And don't get me started on that Volcarona that ended the previous streak. It was at like 10-15% and it tanked Aegislash's Shadow Sneak. And I have max investment and max IVs on Attack too...
Well that is definitely a speed tie. Mega-Evolution doesn't affect speed on the first turn, so it just had the exact same speed stat as you.Funny thing about running into a Gengar in Maison...I forgot what happened exactly, but I status inflicted a Gengar and it used a Lum Berry. So I sent in my Timid Gengar with max speed IVs and proceeded to Mega Evolve and Shadow Ball it. It outsped me and KOd my Gengar. I recorded it on my game but never posted it online yet. When I get the chance I will upload it and you will see what happened. (This is in regards to earlier in the thread with someone losing to a Gengar that outsped them.
That, I didn't expect or know, thanks for clarifying. That's a shame because it won the tie again on a ghost battle XD.Well that is definitely a speed tie. Mega-Evolution doesn't affect speed on the first turn, so it just had the exact same speed stat as you.
The order moves are used is decided when you select the moves. If the Gengar mega evolves after, then even tho it will have a faster speed, it will not move at that base speed stat until the following turn and instead will move at its original base speed stat. This also means if you paralyze a faster pokemon in a double battle, then your slower pokemon will not outspeed the faster paralyzed opponent pokemon. This is crucial to know in competitive battles.Funny thing about running into a Gengar in Maison...I forgot what happened exactly, but I status inflicted a Gengar and it used a Lum Berry.

I've never done doubles where that ever came up, that's good to know. Thank you.The order moves are used is decided when you select the moves.

There's space for five trophies. Single, Double, Rotation, Triple, Multi?Do you also get a trophy by beating Super Multi with an AI partner?
The triple round strategy posted earlier sounds awesome, I really want to try that out. Only problem I see with it is that 240 bp STAB specs Aurorus will probably kill your adjacent teammate(s) which would be bad if you couldn't finish off the opposing team in one turn. And if you put Aurorus on the side, the mon in the opposing corner will only be getting hit by the 60 (normal) + 120 (fairy) hits, and it'll surely live if it's a half decent steel type. A solution I see to fake out though is to put protect on everything, sash on Greninja, and normal gem on Aurorus instead of specs, assuming it still powers up round after refrigerate. Interesting strategy nonetheless.
I'd like to hear more strategies for doubles, rotation, and multi (is there even a strat for this?) since I don't really know if my singles team will work and I want to get all of the trophies eventually. I'll probably give rotation a stab next with my current singles team since it doesn't seem to require any special strategy.
Thanks for like... all of that lol. I'll try some of it out thanks!Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite

I use Crunch on Kangaskhan because I'm totally paranoid about Will-O-Wisp ghost types, altough I have to admit that Fake Out or Power Up Punch could've been really useful a ton of times. You may prefer to use one of those moves instead.
Aegislash can setup very easily against the AI. If a choiced mon uses a move that it resists, congratulations, you won! You can even setup on super effective moves if the situation calls for it. Remember that, if Shadow Sneak isn't a OHKO, it's better to use a slow Sacred Sword (so you take that hit on Shield Forme) and then follow with a Shadow Sneak. This is really basic when using him, but it's really key in the maison. The AI isn't prepared to deal with King's Shield and Stance Change, so you can easily exploit it.
Azumarill is basically a "get out of jail free" card with CB Aqua Jet. It's also the team's best answer to bulky Ground types and the few problematic Rock-types, such as Armaldo (has Superpower to hit Kangaskhan, is neutral to EQ, has own EQ to hit Aegislash) and Terrakion (Close Combat+EQ beat the other two members of the team).
