RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Plaid - 07-30-2014
The only way for my team to take down talonflame is to sacrifice whichever pokemon is in when it comes in, let drapion get a shot on it then die in two hits, then let a sashed gengar finish it off. Not much fun.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Crowstone - 07-31-2014
i don't even remember who is on my team or what they can do!
Fun fact: that was the same state of preparation i had for round 1!
anyways yeah message me for battles, tomorrow i'll do the same or something..........

I wish this was one of those PC pokemon battle sim tournaments so that I could actually play with you guys :0
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Plaid - 07-31-2014
...It is? We're using pokemon showdown.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Mirdini - 07-31-2014
And considering Felix failed to show up for the tournament at all Steel is open as a type if you want it.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Schazer - 07-31-2014
Bring it on nerds my bugs are gonna take y'all by swarm
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Schazer - 07-31-2014
None of Flying, Electric, Rock, or Ice have been taken either. If we're just round-robinning it as fast and haphazardly as we can, there's probably no harm in whipping up a team?
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Gatr - 07-31-2014
are we even doing the "post in thread declaring results of your matches" thing anymore?
if so, i won against slorange in a close match.
e: and timu.
ee: and kitet.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Crowstone - 07-31-2014
I MANAGED TO BEAT three of sloranges pokemon before i died GG
edit:
lost to garuru too!
maybe if i had more than just grass type attacking moves? nahhhhh
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Kitet - 07-31-2014
okay cool i lost three times in a row to Crowstone, Garuru, and Slorange
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Mirdini - 08-04-2014
In the continuation of I Am Not Particularly Good At All This, Dragons beat Fairies! Even in a best of 3.
Congrats Garuru.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Gatr - 08-04-2014
that was in a really close battle, and a great one at that
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Mirdini - 08-04-2014
Had some hefty help from lady luck in beating Plaid's Poison Platoon, grateful for her grace in defeat.
E: Kitet's dark team could not stand up to beautiful Fairies either.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - amosmyn - 08-04-2014
Okay sure I'll do steel. I'll ask Dini for a refresher.
Apparently I can pick from a few types. Gimme a moment.
Yup, steel.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Kitet - 08-04-2014
mirdini beat me without losing a single mon
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Mirdini - 08-04-2014
Oh hey Amos nabbed Steel, which leaves Rock/Ice/Flying/Psychic for any other interested parties!
E: Bigro's Ground Brigade rekt fairies.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - piester - 08-04-2014
I call dibs on Psychic!
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Gatr - 08-04-2014
and bigro has ended my winning streak.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - amosmyn - 08-04-2014
Ready to battle :0
Worth mentioning: I have one Poke I think recently got moved up to "Uber" status.
...
I mean if we're still going by the bans list plus talonflame that shouldnt be a problem but yknow.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Schazer - 08-04-2014
Amos if you're making a Steel Team you won't be able to have Talonflame, as it's a flying/fire type.
Also I assembled a table with all results so far inputted. It's free to edit so just add things as y'all see fit.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - amosmyn - 08-04-2014
Talonflame isn't the only new uber.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - Schazer - 08-04-2014
Aegislash? I'm gonna chalk that up to Smogon being huge babies who don't like viable gimmick pokemon. Same with Swagger Klefki, really.
I think Slorange runs an Aegislash too so I don't think it's a big deal and don't think we'll be banning them from the tourney, though I guess that's Para's final call.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - amosmyn - 08-04-2014
Anyways amosmyn on Showtime
Also I made an oopsie and swapped one of my attacks because of me being dumb. It won't make a type-impact.
And yes he did.
RE: Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING - SleepingOrange - 08-04-2014
I was eventually convinced that swagkey is worth banning (or rather, swagplay in general) not because it's gimmicky (it is, but so are lots of things) or because it's brainless (it's not, there are a lot of calculated risks to take and decisions to make), but because it's essentially something that can't be answered with any consistency except by one otherwise-useless ability and another very rare (but great) one. There is no skill in responding to swagplay; it all comes down to a series of coin flips and switches that mulch you with entry hazards. Most strategies have answers that require skill and decision-making on the part of the person being targeted by them: switch to a wall or a faster sweeper against a sweeper, switch to a stallbreaker or booster against a wall, switch to a cleric or magic bouncer against status-heavy annoyers. Swagplay... not so much.
That said, Aegislash as an uber is... silly. But I may be prejudiced.

Water beats Fairy (well done Granola!)
