general

also doubles is the true game, singles is just trying not to get swept

so many more strategies

I might make a doubles team

use vgc 2016 rules

but if you put the box legendaries in it and fight me you pretty much automatically win

box legendaries?

doing ou

might do vgc later

vgc allows a max of 2 box legendaries per team this year

what exactly are box legendaires?

the title legendaries like groudon, kyogre and rayquaza

mewtwo also counts

no dont need those

they are ubers anyway

you do if you want to be competitive

in vgc

doing ou so whatever than means

ou is smogon rules

its dumb

k

theres probably a sleep clause and evasion clause

vgc doesn't have those

so what are vcg rules?

SCREW THEM

http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-2016-video-game-championship-format-has-been-announced/

no banned bidoofs

gg

no banned wobbuffets

hopefully the limited pokemon clause gets reverted for 2017, because the teams are extremely repetitive this year

^ exact reason I never cared for ubers or just highly competitive pokemon in gereral

i like vgc rules specifically because of the pick 4 rule

also that it's all damage calculators and spreadsheets

to try hard, kills the fun

and you can't use gimmick teams because all the gimmick pokemon have terrible stats

it's interesting some of they're decisions, I'd have expected them to ban stealth rock. Instead they have a MASSIVE hard on for it

still do from glancing over at there site

you had like all legendaries

I cant beat that shit

fucking full ditto team

using a different team this time

are you talking about smogon @Kampfgruppe Kofewalt ?

kinda

why ban set up moves when it wastes a move to set up?

If your asking why I'm not particular to stealth rock, its mainly because it can with one use take up to half a pokemons hp out right, and unlike spikes (which are fine), rocks can't be avoided without rapid spin. it mainly limits viability to a number of pokemon (with a few exeptions)

no one carries rapid spin

ready @legorhin

fuck your shit

belly drum op

gtg

ready when you are

so Smogon banned swagger

thats stupid

gg

sec finshing something up real quick

rdy

I know all of you are heartless but if you go to https://www.twitch.tv/truth you can see a livestream of just kittens being kittens

this team is amazing

no, my team just isn't

called that one

I'm making a team of just vgc banned pokemon

going to make another team

make a banned team to fight mine!

plz

http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-2016-video-game-championship-format-has-been-announced/
