also SV did not compress that badly in a spot like that though yeah a lot of the places looked dookie

wait so are siblings to the original protag?
inland gyro
someone pointed out that the rival is a palette swap of the protags
like has a few physical diffs but is mostly a colour swap
also this is set in the future right since this is lumiose being developed more? was thinking could be sycamore younger if that wasn't the case

Typhlosion was rightfully picked for the first one.

unless they make a new ability idt anything else is good enough as those 2

Take 2 mons (have them make an egg) this egg then hatches to reveal a new pokemon that is a mix. E.g. Gyarados X Milotic gets you a new pokemon that is neither a magikarp nor a feebas but something new.
golden lance
Ok and how is that any different from a fusion, lore aside
long stone
It's not hard. It's just crossbreeding
It can exist in a non-fusion state. Basically a normal mon with a special condition to obtain
And you can have so many combos (that make sense)

As for way you would even bother getting one, it probably has better stats and uh looks cool

Bruial is likely in a match rn lmao
Ye just finished
normal cave
If the game is about scoring you could play more aggressive class
It's also about finding opportunities to score
RN Gengar seems like the best mon in the format
Its buffs were absurdly good.
You want a mon that can move around the map quickly. Float Stone will probs be great in this mode.
pseudo goblet
Its buffs were *absurdly* good.
Oh god
normal cave
Its basic attacks now scale with spatk, among other things
So far, my best success is with Espeon, because she can just delete speedsters with a single sure-hit combo
And her Unite move is a great panic button/teamfight winner
She works fine as a goalkeeper because there are so many ways to score a goal if you ever get close to the goal, and she can prevent anyone from getting close to the goal ever by just deleting them from a distance.
But 0 mobility huuuuuurts
Lazy-ass purple cat is too lazy to move around
Also, this one fucking cinderace player is always my opponent and I hate it because they're really good
Umbreon is really good because everyone is in squishy speedsters
Crustle seemed amazing
Speedy defender that can farm and score well
placid junco
pseudo goblet
Crustle seemed amazing
Theres a sort of event where you can quickly spam all moves, playing Crustle, buddy is broken there lmao
normal cave
Crustle always feels strong, but rarely does well
At least when I face it
It has an overwhelming presence when it appears out of nowhere, but it quickly petters out. Plays more like a bulky assassin.
pseudo goblet
Finally, only took 4 tries
normal cave
@fading stratus you don't understand. 99% of the time, Cinderace players are completely useless. But 1% of the time, Cinderace is a menace. And it's ALWAYS on the opponents team when it is.
Cinderace is popular, but bad
normal cave
A combination of that and it once being good
fading stratus
ah
normal cave
And tbf in the hands of a really skilled player cinder is a complete menace
But you can't braindead cinder anymore. It's a hard mon.
Cinder attracts the kind of players who believe they are the main character. Same thing with Greninja. It also helps that Cinder and Greninja are given as beginner options when they really aren't.
99% of the time Cinder and Gren players do literally nothing but steal your resources and cry. 1% of the time they are beasts who can delete you while being untouchable themselves.
Meanwhile Espeon is one of the easiest and most consistently impactful mons in the game, yet she doesn't have as many fanboys. Mon is broken, easy to pilot, while still rewarding skill. But no, cinder or gren.

they ranked all pokemon via this
normal cave
Funny how most of these are in Unite
Including Chandelure and Mimikyu
And Mew
But not Vaporeon or Lugia
inland gyro
also the system they did was people would see 2 pokemon on screen and pick the one they liked more and the ranking is based on how many of these a pokemon would win

I'd wanna see the actual numbers because a viewerbase's likes might also be biased depending on the youtuber

No, but it is what it is. Gay people can be good or evil, like anyone else.
I've just always seen them as a gay couple. Even if one of them was a genocidal maniac.

Yeah Espeon is kinda cracked in this mode
Sableye is popular too oddly enough
Anyways, spent all the early game stuck at level 3 and being bullied by Mimikyu/Venu/Atails, but once I evolved I got to wreak havoc at a few key moments.
Maybe Espe is just good for me because she has auto-aim on most of her kit
Wait I just realized Sableye can stealth around and sneak in goals. It is a splitpusher.
Just gotta pair it with someone who can hold the front 2v1

I love Espeon, but I keep getting sat on all game by speedsters

Metagross and Gengar were shitting on me all the way to level 15. Then I sat on the goal and started 1v2ing them

Honse?
fading stratus
here's a honse psyspam team
here's another
sadly couldnt find the one with evs for ursa
apparently people did try indeedee with miraidon but feels like you'd wanna have a support mon that supports your restricted but indeedee is kinda awkward in doing that
so your team already is probs fine
normal cave
Indeedee doesn't really help Miraidon, no
She's there to boost Iron Crown and stop priority moves.
fading stratus
the idea is probs like dondozo
where you do enough damage with your restricted and pick up remaining hp with psyspam
or vice versa
normal cave
Yeah, I usually lead indeedee Crown or Miraidon something and then have the other in the back to clean up
fading stratus
whats the crown's speed
fading stratus
if its spa booster a funny thing you can do is like
miraidon volt into indeedee into psyspam
fading stratus
yeah
i asked because max speed mirai goes to 205
and idt your mon would be slower than mirai with speed booster
but if its spa booster that works

https://pokepast.es/c3746eb41634af87 this is the one I could fine
only mirai psyspam I could find
but mirai in general is mostly solved archetype
so there's barely need of much experimentation
normal cave
Oh? How does Mirai solved work?
fading stratus
normal cave
https://pokepast.es/c3746eb41634af87 this is the one I could fine
Oh hey I saw this team, but without the ev spread
Tyty!
fading stratus
this is basically the "standard" miraidon team
you either play on tailwind
or if your opp is fast enough you can play trick room
normal cave
https://pokepast.es/871d175576f89353
Oh yeah that looks clean
fading stratus
you basically pressure your opp with good damage
and setting up vs this team is very risky because you have whim
whim also just makes people use protect less
fading stratus
good read
this should summarise what the team wants to accomplish
I read it a while back and its really good
I think dyl's miraidon team is way cooler than this tho but sadly we dont have evs
I think it was like max HP miraidon
normal cave
Dyl's team performed scary
They really looked convincing the entire time in the finals
fading stratus
it was also because wolfey was playing with 4 mons
I never realised he had dark shifu
and thought wolfey have a decent MU
then I saw dark shifu and I was like its ggs wolfe loses
dark shifu with sash
but dyl's team was very good tho yeah
normal cave
Yeah dark urshi just invalidated the entire perish portion
fading stratus
dyl also played insanely good
he just knew what he should do
btw bruial what kinda teams do you like
normal cave
btw bruial what kinda teams do you like
Teams with Pokemon I like. Playstyle matters less.
I like Iron Crown and Miraidon
I also like Dnite, Tatsugiri, Mienshao, Whimsi, and a bunch of other mons
Also like Sneasler
fading stratus
calyrex shadow does play mienshao
normal cave
Lots of mons I like, such as Furret and Weavile, won't be good in VGC
I'm trying to only mention the good ones
Not gonna run around showdown VGC with Furret. I'm not Wolfe.

you can probably change the gholdengo to crown too
but the team would probs need a makeover a bit

Probably coulda been played better but gj
Like idk why you just gleamed instead of electro drift
Because drift with stab and electric terrain is just more powerful even if resisted
And since rilla can't protect anything that switched in woulda get killed anyway
And idk if you did but you should always double target rilla there with tachyon cutter too because amogus can't do anything under electric terrain

I did not know that
Also I thought Mirai had specs

They just had no damage into mirai

Well not ursh but ogre is kinda needed
Because your other mons just don't damage miraidon

Positioning is very important
They had a few changes on the team than the standard team tho
Like flare blitz and wood hammer
Ig wood hammer is standardish

They had no real way to damage Mirai outside of CC and Ice Beam
Flare Blitz is the wolfe tech
