Challenge Cup

[Assassin9399]

I've been bored with competitive battling for quite a while now, since it wasn't really exiting to me, OU became weather, UU takes too much effort to get a good team and all. So I was just for fun trying to get 0 points on PO, and I accidentally had a CC match with someone. Since that, I switched to CC for battling, since the weirdest things can happen there.

For those who don't know what CC is, I'll explain it.

First of all, it's not only a shut down clan, but a tier for battling. Challenge Cup is a kind of battling where the pokemon you get are random, you can have any pokemon except for Missingno. if that one counts. But not only the pokemon are random, the moves the pokemon have are random as well. So are the items, the EV's, the levels (I haven't had pokemon below level 70, so that could be a limit).

The funny thing is, you can be screwed or blessed by the movesets of your pokemon. This results into great battles, for instance, I 6-0'd a team with a Rufflet, one of my best sweepers was a Kabuto and I took down a Reshiram with a Panpour.

Do you guys play CC and have some funny things you had there and what are your vieuws on CC?

CC can be the most fun tier around, but also be by far the most infuriating. Having a close match where your Mewtwo trades even blows with a Charmander is great, until you get the game where your opponent gets a Kyogre + random Swift Swimmers with STAB moves. A lot of fun but sometimes the random team generator gives you complete garbage.

I never get anything good when im playing. Always some first evolution with no good moves to use. I'll admit it can be fun sometimes though being able to get good pokemon that can destroy the opponents team. I prefer to stick with the other tiers though.

Getting a Zekrom with Bolt Strike is fun xD

 

[Fawn67]

I had a Poochyena that took out the foes Lugia with a stab crit super effective bite. :3
But of course there was a 30 level difference.

I hate when you get screwed over with only having one attacking move, and it being natural gift, or snore. x.x

Just the fact that I managed to defeat Moltres with a Ledyba tells you it's a lot of fun.

It is. But the good pokemon are usually low leveled so they cant do to much damage

Funny CC moments are how I've won Random CC tourney's on Beta XD
-I took out an Arceus with a Lombre.
-I KO'd a Mewtwo with Fling by a Electivire :3
I absolutely Love CC and when People apologize for accidentally ticking the CC clause and they start to forfeit, I tell them to stop and then carry on because really, CC is actually one of the most funnest tiers to play (Others include: 1v1 (with a giga impact Slaking :J), Metronome (when you get Imprison trololol) and CC 1v1) so yeah, CC is one of the most Epic tiers, considering people even ladder on CC. js

considering people even ladder on CC. js

I'm trying to ladder on CC, but there are too few people who do it on Smogon. so I'm laddering on PO. I did win the tourney on Smogon yesterday though :3

I got a audino once with echoed voice and swept a team with 2 ubers.

Does anyone save lengenarys for last?

 

[Mavm]

since today ( because i tested today ) i will keep fighting in this tier.

I hate it when people do that actually. It's funnier when the opponent's last poke is a Weedle, not if it's an Arceus.

In addition, if you save your legends you'll need to sacrifice other pokemon, and that's not always the smartest thing to do. I've had a lot of people who knew that their poke was slower and going to be KO'd, but still they didn't switch out. So they lost their pokemon.

 

[wildbiscuit]

I'm still sometimes surprised how good "useless" pokemon can be in this tier.

I managed to take out 4 and leave one at about 10% with a Farfetch'd. It doesn't get much better than this.

 

[Astral Shadow]

Challenge Cup can be fun, but I prefer to play Roulette Battles. You can pick your moveset, item, etc.

 

[Asbestospoison]

I love Challenge Cup, because basically, the whole match revolves around hax.

 

[Blue Harvest]

I just played a match where I had Weedle, Happiny, HP Water 46 Magnemite, Shock Wave Azelf, and Headbutt Diglett (sand veil..). My only remotely good Pokemon was a Bullet Seed Ludicolo.

Turns out the MVP was Weedle. Choice Band Bug Bite took 40% off his Larvitar and 80% off his Palkia before it finally went down.

Challenge Cup is the only "tier" that I've ever peaked at #1 on, hilariously. I personally love playing it because of the random things I'll end up getting and sometimes even winning with. I once had a sweep with a SD Totodile that literally had Slash and nothing more as far as offensive moves go. Went through a Kyorge and two other Pokemon before going down.

 

[Zachmac]

I just swept a team with a damp rock Archeops. It even OHKOed the dreaded Sunkurn.

This tier is surprisingly fun.

Edit: I just 2HKOed a chansy with sand tomb. O:

 

[Indigoodra]

I just got out of an awesome battle, where my dustox ko'd 2 pokemon, and so did a Ducklett. :/

I now have a whole new respect for Dustox.

I love CC. It's so much fun, and you can experience a lot of funny moments. I actually won every CC tourney I entered (yes, I'm that lucky). A funny moment I've came across was me 2HKOing a dark arceus with a sewaddle with LO and bug bite.
