Random Matchup Metagame

[PokeGyms]

I know a guy who knows a guy who battled with a max speed jolly Haxorus and a Golurk that wasn't even carrying anything outsped and killed his whole team. That's what I really dislike about hacking.

 

[Dark Sharpedo]

I never liked random Matchup.
Whenever I battled there was always a team either consisting from the Politoed-Rain Core, Nintales-Drought, or TTar/Hippos-Sandstorm.
It just shows the domination of weather in 5th Gen.

is he sure the golurk wasn't a zoroark? cause the random wifi does a really good job at keeping super hacked stats away

[bidoofs_are_cool_too!]

the random matchup can be very fun I usually dont have a problem But thoes Rage quitters. the worst are those Asians when i get on at about 1 Am -4 am almost every asian I battle quits(im not saying that to be racist) but does anyone else have that problem?

yes i know! I know your not racist, but they are the ones who always rage quit.

This is very possible, esp b/c your archeops didn't have max speed IVs

Max speed Archeops: 350, with 31IVspe
Max speed Jellicent: 240

Jellicent with scarf: 360

360>350

i use sudowoodo as my sand storm counter on there

adamant
252 atk/252 def/4 hp
ability: sturdy
sucker punch
earthquake
hammer arm
stone edge

it can take out excadrill and tar tar super easily, and many, many other random pokes all thanks to sturdy and sucker punch(and bright powder sometimes )

I'll admit that I mostly play doubles, but anything that can cripple your opponent's poke/s is golden. T-wave, WoW, encore, anything like that is great.

Also, pro tip, if you opponent has a garchomp on their team, there is a roughly 150% chance that they're gonna use it. It's almost mandatory.

 

[Vandslaux]

I played doubles once, with my Gigalith, a lv. 35 Musharna, my Sawsbuck, and my Samurott. They used Cresselia, Metagross, Gyarados, and Zapdos. I lost 4-0. Cresselia used Safeguard, Metagross used EQ. Cresselia used Swagger, it missed. Metagross EQed, Cress had Levitate. Cresselia used Swagger on Metagross, it hit, Atk sharply rose, Safeguard blocked Confusion. Cresselia kept using Swagger on Meta until Safeguard ran out, then he started using Meteor Mash.

As far as I know, it rejects illegal move sets (such as Porygon-Z with Nasty Plot that isn't Poketransferred), and pokemon with over 510 EVs.

The Jellicent could have been holding a Choice Scarf.

Porygon-Z gets NP in BW, just catch a Porygon in White Forest, evolve it, teach it Nasty Plot.

Also, currently, I've been unable to find an opponent for so long..

i like random match ups because i can used lots of stuff that i can't use on here.

 

[Kotone]

I don't like random match-ups, people always ragequit when they are about to lose and don't let me get the win

 

[irock245]

Once my wifi team is done, i'm goning to name all my pokemon,"failsquit" to guilt the opponent into losing if i beat them instead of ragequitting.

I don't think they get to see the names of your pokes, and even if they did it would just look like so much gibberish to them, considering most are japanese or some other nationality. I did have someone from the UK ragequit 1 of my slowbro sweeps, so if they do get to see it, maybe it will work...

 

[Mutsumi]

You do not get to see any of the nicknames over wifi, all you see is the default name of the Pokémon in the language of your opponent.
