For thousands of years I lay dormant and now I have returned to VGC with a power that will make the gods quake in their cosmic boots. With the powers gen 9 has granted me, I have tested four different teams and this is the one I've had the most success with. Ironically, this is the one I was...
It's the night before internationals.
I made enough progress into USUM to get Z moves. I swapped Tapu Koko's AV for Electrium Z.
Now here's the part I was iffy on: I swapped Tapu Lele's Wiki Berry for Fairium Z. I've had a lot of matches where the heal from wiki was the deciding factor in the...
Right? It's super dead. I wonder what happened. It used to be very lively in 2010-2013.
I went with Sitrus Berry over Pinch since I find it gives more bulk due to the fact that the Pinch berry doesn't always get to activate. So I find the earlier activation time helps Oranguru stay in longer...
With NA internationals coming up, I decided to prepare by coming back to this thread and posting the team I had settled on using for it. For the most part, it's largely the same with a few small tweaks.
Xurkitree @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD...
I did some calcs and fixed up the EVs of the team. Here are the changes I made:
Oranguru @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Telepathy
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Instruct
- Trick Room
- Protect
I decided to keep Oranguru just as it is, since it survives...
I know right? Showdown can be so toxic. I used max speed IVs when testing because there's no guarantee I can get 0 speed IVs in-game as 0 IVs are much harder to get than 31 ivs. I had to make sure my team worked in a worst case scenario.
To be perfectly honest about the EV spreads, I just asked...
Hey guys, I'm back again. After taking a break last year, I'm getting back in the ring with VGC. I see it's gotten a little more lievely around here, not like it used to be in 2012-2013 but it seems to be getting better. It's not the ghost town it was in 2016 anymore at least.
Anyway, let's...
Oh my god. NOOOOOOOOOOO. That sounds like it would get tedious and annoying after 20 years of not doing that. I can already see my muscle memory start to frustrate me a few times.
I NEED THAT NORMAL/GHOST TYPE, GAMEFREAK
Considering, we've already seen more than half of 80 pokemon in...
So far our only real hint is that Lycanroc has version-exclusive formes and Rockruff was said to have a secret along with the starters. That's all we have to go on. So my best bet would be yes, the final starter evos will probably have version exclusive formes.
I thought like this too but exception where exceptions are due and Fissure Machamp and Yellow Pikachu and definitely exceptions. While I'm at it, I might as well transer ALL the mons for a complete national dex.
