Only thing that would have been funnier is Weakness Policy.  I love the World Turtle, in spite of its 4x Ice weakness. :3

I'm starting to get back into Pokum Men, but I dunno where to even start with all the new stuff.  Mainly the mega evolutions.

I'm thinking about putting together an RU team where things don't appear to have changed much and there's a more centralized meta to keep things simple.  Any suggestions?  Right now I'm looking at Moltres along with Shiftry and Slowking.  I still need a hazard setter (Rhyperior?) and I guess I should have a mega too.

Megas aren't really any different from normal pokemon, except for the fact that they can't hold items (minus Brokendrake) and you can only have one. Only get them if you feel that you have the need for a pokemon like the mega in question.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah.  Right now I basically have no idea what I'm doing.  I remember how to play but I'm fuzzy on a lot of typing and obviously I have no idea what most of the pokemon do anymore.

M-Beedrill in action.

Faster than a higher level Jolteon. Can 0HKO Aurorus with a non-STAB attack after a swords dance.

[Cthulhu]

At first I knee-jerk hated the idea of mega evolutions but as time goes on I like it more and more.  So many ass pokemon are suddenly not ass anymore.  Charizard in OU, people actually using Beedrill at all, we live in some strange times.

Decided that while RU has a smaller meta it's also generally pretty fucky.  Guys like M-Sceptile and Moltres who are stronk but can't handle OU just kind of stomp on everybody and there's not as much in the way of resources to help me learn.

Went to OU with a new team, Bisharp and Mega-Gallade as Punch Lords with Wotom, Clefable, Latias, and Talonflame as their Punch Vassals.  Winning a lot of games actually, won my first after a long, long fight I thought I was gonna lose until I realized their team was all at like 50-70% HP and their wall was down.  The Punch King punched and it was good.

Another guy had a team of all ghosts and straight up forfeited when I started Bisharp.  Another when his defiant popped on intimidate.  I love that guy.

God I love this team.  It's a heavy offense team with more pivot than stall-wall and that's really my jam.  My prediction game is off the chain.

I got Alpha Sapphire yesterday.
And it looks like I'm late for the party.

Why the shit is Primal Groudon/Kyogre allowed in BATTLE SPOT of all places? It makes no sense.

well, the real question is M-RAY allowed? because /that/ would be really broken.

primal groudon/kyogre are powerful, sure, but they're not nigh-uncounterable broken

No, of course not - I just wish that Ninty would at least be consistent - if legendaries besides trios are banned from Battle Tower/Maison/Whatever, why not Battle Spot?

[Culise]

I've never played online battles (except the Eevee tourney, which had its own special restrictions on Pokemon), but Kyogre, Groudon, Dragon Gear Ray, Jirachi, and Deoxys are all banned from Ratings battles in spite of the Hoenn-only season.  I'm actually more surprised if Mega Ray is banned from Free battles, since I thought those were conventionally a field in which anything goes.

[umiman]

There's a reason why I stopped playing the MP on the games themselves and only play on Showdown.

Mewtwo everywhere. Xerneas everywhere.

The ranked battles?

Hacks everywhere.

Edit: Also the actual game won't let you type-chat like this.

[Baneling]

that was some impressive sweep

[Mageziya]

So, a few days ago I got the Eon Ticket, and I decided to try and do something I had never done before: Soft Reset for a shiny legendary.

Now, several days later, I have a Shiny Latias. Despite having a Timid Synchronize lead, it ended up with a Quirky nature. Quirky also happens to be a completely neutral nature, so nothing was really lost there. According to the IV checker in the battle resort, it only has the 3 perfect IVs, though every non-breedable interaction or gift Pokemon in this generation has 3, random perfect IVs. (HP, Attack, and Special Attack in this instance.) I haven't bothered using an IV calculator.

Overall, I'm happy with the outcome.
