Magic Guard doesn't effect Belly Drum/Substitute/Pain Split
My big boss cup team will most likely be bad but it can be so funny when playing
theres like two freeze dry mons
Yes but that doesnt chage the fact they are an issue for Water
and the only way A water mon could become neutral against Freeze dry is becoming part Steel or Fire.
Which makes you weak to the best offensive type in the game : Ground.
I am not saying Water is bad, but I am saying that Water might be such a common choice that people will prep extensivly against it.
Who will prep against Ice?
you dont need to prep against ice you just load steels and youre good
Steels are tasked with handling so much already. Not to mention if your Some of the best Steel Dual fusion dont even resist Ice. (Steel flying, Steel Dragon, Steel Grass). Also Steel has the same problem Water has, its strenght isnt a secret
ur talking about the freezedryers who have 95 max spa
doesnt matter if they dont resist youre not breaking through steel grass regenvest with freeze dry
not with this dire of a mon pool
Weavile mamo and kyurem are all good mons. and auroros can run espeed fusions with refrigarate
you have to take the 77/58 physical offense of aurorus
cloyster and regice I am uncertain of
yes they have shortcomings
But I wouldnt say they are unwinnable
or rather beyond redemption
when you have no atk as the worst defensive typing you dont have a chance
pales in comparison to what sun/rain get
froslass is terrible
why?
no atk
My main point isnt that hail is the best weather, but rather that sun and rain will suffer from success by spreading awareness of its strenght, giving hail the chance to perform an underdog role
nvm I take all back
even if ur aware of how strong sun is ur still 100% losing the sun mu
I keep forgetting just how hard weather mons hit
what type do you see capable of winning the tournament?
water, steel, fairy, fire
not ground?
ground maybe
and fairy does have a similar problem too ice, there are few good mons
the difference is the fairy mons are good
that is notable, but the problem still stands that fairy cant really even fill 6 slots
clef sylveon togekiss whimsicott klefki gardevoir/mimikyu/granbull
I agree on clef sylveon togekiss and guardevoir
but klef and whim kinda steal each others role
wut
no whimsicott is just a speed passer for a high spa mon
oh wow I didnt know that
I am suprised whimiscotts, questionable Spa doesnt get transfered
?
I am probably missremembering, but wasnt it the case that te head part transfers speed spa and spd, while the Body transfers HP Def and Attack ?
I am starting to realise how completly game breaking Fusion is for Monotype :
Usually, certain Types couldnt handle other types well or even at all, (Dragon had to use Dragalge to have a chance against fairys and perfore Gen 9 Normal couldnt have a fighting immunity)
But with fusion pretty much any dual type is available meaning Types starved for options got a lot stronger.
To be fair Types who were already good kind of got even more tools to work with.
But I do think that the difference between the Teams has been reduced because of the increase in options.
Me a casual 1400 elo man watching people getting serious over the meta while I use meme trick room team 
The good news is the doubles tournament is soon, and trick room is usually good with trick room

How do you do a showdown battle?
against a random opponent or a specific one?
Hey y’all, the next season of my infinite fusion draft league is starting up soon and we’d love to get some more players! We are open to players of all skills levels, and we are running a natdex doubles OU format this time around. If you are interested, dm me and I can get you the server link!
How do I play the showdown for infinite fusion
First pin in this channel
Do you think for the big boss format people are just going to use Pseudo legends?
I've been thinking about this. The general strategies I think are most viable:
- Pick something with relatively high BST, like pseudos, and just rely on high speed and attack to overpower stuff
- Pick something with a very strong ability, like Regenerator, to make up for lower BSTs (stall?)
- Try to make weather work by using Vulpix or setting it manually
- Prioritize a very strong fusion for Big Boss and use the rest of the team as fodder/support (v risky)
what's nfe again?
not fully evolved
Yeah, I guess realistically the strongest NFEs are the ones that got cross-gen evolutions. Dusclops and so on.
I imagine single stage pokemon will be in high demand as fusion material, Dusclops/Skarmory might be able to tank quite a bit
for singles or doubles?
btw @pure breach gotta implement an extra rule that the grunts bst cant be higher than the boss bst
Big Boss format, singles only I believe
what's this big boss format for? I haven't been keeping up with IF showdown
Wah
what's that
The pool of decent NFEs to build a team around is small enough that I was thinking about trying to predict what people would do, but I just don't have the meta knowledge for that. Inevitably I'll get rolled by some very strong interaction I didn't know existed 
is it too late to join dna doubles?
no bc it hasnt happened yet
how do I register?
If the tournament hasn't started yet, you can join. Just need to be in the Showdown lobby before it starts
or do I just need to show up?
just show up
oh cool
Anaconja, any Big Boss advice for a competitive newcomer? Although I understand not wanting to reveal your secrets
how do I show up?... do I just like wait in pokeathlon till something shows up or what?
I haven't been in a tourney
idk i havent played a game so i cant say
is mew a legendary?
Technically Mew is a mythical pokemon, which is a distinct group from legendaries (although English media just called them all legendaries until Gen 5). For teambuilding purposes they're basically the same though.
thought so
We are currently looking for 4 more players! If you are interested please dm me!
Down to 2 spots
anyone else's showdown not loading?
mine works fine
I'm in no prob
How do I play the showdown?
?tag showdown
Infinite Fusions Showdown Server : https://play.pokeathlon.com/

Cheering for Activate Windows, I hope they win
Shut lol
what do they doing
Are they finally gonna ban some moves
I doubt they would ban moves 12 hours before a tournament
Yea this is prepping for the tournament probably
Nah we gonna flip the whole format on its head a few hours before the tournament trust
TRUST
We're actually making every pokemon illegal except the 5 evolution lines currently in the second poll 30 minutes before the tournament starts
wow personal training huh smh 
I don't have anyone to train my team
anaconja gonna win again
I don't think Anaconja has doubles experience (Stall isnt viable in doubles)
...though I have been proven wrong before
I think they do
@small mortar how do you change pfp again?
i can confirm ana has played doubles before
I just realized
If togekiss gets fused with an electric type with discharge
I can spread para, while also having air slash
Pair with Raichu for good fun
Why raichu and not jolteon
Thanks for the idea

Raichu provides better support, but you can go Jolteon for full offense
I mean
It's prob been there for a while
tbh i just havent thought of it
I thought of discharge lava plume and of course scald almost immediately when I saw togekiss
But it's weird that electric types are a bit rare here
Besides alakode you don't really see them much
Ground types are very common and are even better because their one weakness of no recovery except Gliscor is mitigated due to gliscor
Made the team whenever you'd want to practice a lil 
sure hold on
THE CLIENT ISN'T LOADING FOR ME FOR SOME REASON????
Every time I got to the website it gets stuck on loading the client
Even on my phone it won't load
Am I cursed or something???
It fixed itself
Hippowdon has been a thing for a time
It broke again
You do /avatar [sprite-name]
most electrics are bad
4 hours left huh?
Not disagreeing, but I don't see it as one of the worst types though, it's not psychic
anyone practicing doubles rn
I am, but i'm tweaking my team atm
I can be there with you in half an hour
you still practicing doubles rn?
what format is dna doubles? i cant find it to make sure my team is legal
its doubles ou
how do I join the tournament??? no one answered my question
thank you
gen 7 or gen 9? assuming gen 7 but jic
7
aight sweet
here goes nothin
literally just made this team, hope it does well...
same
well my round 1 in the tour was the most bs thing. like 3 of my pokemon never got to attack because they kept getting outsped and flinched by rockslide
that's rough
like nothing i could do as and the 1 time i didnt get flinched by rockslide i got frozen by blizzard it suckes
Well I got out immediately so might as well post some cool stuff I found now that I won't be able to use it lol
Also Instruct is really, really good and idk how many people have caught onto that.
i'm not taking advantage of it
yeah well some people are abusing it
so not very fun
for those of us who aren't
I had no idea it was gone until this tournament tbh
its also not fun when after the battle where you get flinched like 10 times in a row and frozen by blizzard the opponent tells you the more skilled player won
its only gone for this tournament UNINTENTIONALLY
Well yeah ik, I just didn't realize in the days leading up lol
Its not in the entire ladder
They didnt just turn it off for the tournament
Hello there
Yep, theres no species clause. Have fun with this terrible team that happens to have 3 Poryverns
https://pokepast.es/db4e7639e5f94811
Man, I wish doubles tournaments happened more often
Give me a sec to think
id go mienshao here
Id go gorgeist or liligant
Mienshao and Golisopod would be cool
I Agree.
Golisopod also has crazy design potential
SAME
More prankster mons would be good too
if i knew that i wouldve threw
should've thrown anyways for bug abuse 
I would've gone Incin in honor of the tour, if that's even allowed
nah im jk
not allowed
i don't think that's allowed ye
starters I assume?
No starters, legendaries, mythical or UBs
gotcha
what about bronzong?
cringezong
man
I just wanted golisopod...
would be a great pick
golisopod clefable comes in, uses wish and leaves
you're right
Goli is cool thou
was gonna say
they should be pressured
it'd be nice if it was goli
they should be
i feel scammed on my sand rush
how abotu rotom heat
prob would've won
but ultimately it's not our descision
very few bad mons
nah, I had swift swim water spout
and?
I MISSPELLED
the sand rush was a 1 time thing
what about drill
Drill just worse sandslash
banned in gen 5 which is completely irrelevant to this meta
This would be really funny to say to someone to doesn't know IF
Excadrill is just worse Sandslash
other way around
shhhh nothing happened
but still sandslash isn't that frequent
lol
fr
what message
honestly, I think the most op mon this game was... mimikyu
I thought about using mimikyu
i didn't know it would recover the disguise EVERY SWITCH
but I thought it was too gimicky
ye it had fun sleeping
WHAT EVEN WAS THAT
switch
in Infinite Fusion, disguise resets on switch out
HUH
WHAT
OH NO
(if you're still at max HP I think?)
WHY??????
Who’s idea was it to give whimscott spore
EXACTLY
no it works at any hp
oh really
BRUH
damnb
i do not know but it's super broken
also an IF thing
Time to add Mimikyu to my volt-turn stall team
I swear, first permanent weather and now this?
this has been here since before permaweather
the reason bruxish was there is probably entirely due to whimsicott's spore
Anti-priority is always wanted
yeah
ye
I had the perfect counter to prankster spore
especially without Dark immunity
especially because of whim's spore
I used Quick Guard
speaking of dark if showdown is bugged in that dark mons are immune to spore when they shouldnt be
I saw the quick guard, that was nice
Immune to Prankster
Quick guard was amazing
??
elaborate
dark being vulnerable to prank is also an if feature
psychic terrain is underrated af
wait what?
Hard to set for not too much reward
@feral anchor said this before i believe
LMAO
anaconja dropping the most game changing lore like it's nothing
did you know prankster still works with status moves in psychic terrain as long as the move doesn't target foes?
my dark type whimsicott should've lost
yes
yeah
wait is that not happening correctly on the showdown?
it is not
Can someone help me test that?
is mimikyu also this broken in singles?
so dark types currently block prankster?
no bc disguise is banned
good thing it is
forgot the important part of my message
proof here btw
btw rudi what did you think of my team
oh yeah, shout out to chansey cofagrigus
180 100 100 defenses, and you can even put eviolite on it
mind posting a bug report, since I won't get to it today
Can someone help me test in Showdown?
I told you already, but the water spout combo is honestly broken if you go against non-tanky pokemon
which is rare
Or against spore
that too
did u pick a mon
as you wish
quick guard is like a band-aid solution, I like my solution
what was your solution?
Am I allowed to pick paradox mons btw
no
I believe they have to be gen 7 or less
must be gen 7 or before, no legends/mythicals/starters
prob kommo-o
No UB either
Nothing above gen 7
we need more gen7s
think that gets lumped into legends anyway
gen 7, no starters/legendary/mythicals
Can someone help me test if Prankster works against dark types in Showdown?
this
Gourgeist
ah yes psychic terrain
pretty good
I really should have used bruxish
I could use terrain extender, but i'm worried about it getting one shot
Can you even get a terrain extender in-game?
People that care about showdown should consider mons with unique competitivo moves or abilities
Tô pick
yeah but, pokemon lied to me
itd be a v useful mon in comp
im saying goliospod is an ez choice
ye should've been me i lost to a bug
shoulda been me if I hadn't brain farted
It should've been me, I used 3 Porygon-z/Noiverns and have never played IF doubles before today smh
I thought that combo was banned?
Not in doubles, nothing is banned in doubles
singles isn't doubles
nah we we got huge power pure power
ez
another reason doubles is better
and thick blub
you're allowed to have fun
Prankster spore
There was a guy using 6 mimikyus
prankster psychic terrain
I should have used follow me mimikyu
a gimick can only take you so far
the thing is its Bo1 so we can never counter
We can only make educated guess based on other people
Yeah
I would focus on making that shadow tag combo support your offensive pokemon
it did
get better
I wanted trick room to work so badly
Eh
ye this isn't that good yk
Shuriken just does too little damage
but ultimately there were too many combos literally just better than trick room
I do like to use zoroark, but more as a surprise sucker punch
I'ma make it work for the shits and giggles
i already swept people with water shuriken
the dice
it's not that good
so
do they say what the winner picked or are we just never gonna know?
Can't wait for everyone to think steel or fairy would win but it's actually ice
lmao
ok and?
big boss
if i had to guess gen 5 would be either my first or my second guess
I'm saying some times it's not the ones who you'd think would win that actually win
How that mode work
do u also have alot of teams for big boss?
several
ye im saying i thought gen 5 would win
hmmm
well hf
prob not goona join anymore sadly
lost to a massive crit and a bug?
Fuck no water type has technician
Yeah floatzel is not here
what
Floatzel doesn't have technician?
no
no
is it singles or doubles for big boss????
Singles
How does big boss work
no more doubles
Is it dynamaxed?
did the winner already chose?
i know
except if its gougeist
no lets peer pressure
ok i dont care much about if showdown but what are the cool abilities that we dont have yet
that are good in ou
would a castform fusion be good enough for a ou team
probably not
too low of stats i assume
its not a good gimmick even
what isn't added yet?
do we not have lycanroc dusk?
no
We dont?
So the no guard is midnight
you don't know that
Ye
it's orange
He's right
and cool
We have the other stone doggos
thats not interesting to spriters
youd have to ask if rotom formes can be added
well if it isn't golisopod, guess I NEED to win the next one
i hope not
that just seems like a lot of work
Tbf rotom forms sound hard to make designs for
when did IF come out again?
What about... Conk
too similar to machamp
Tru
slow monofighting guts
Bruh
other than that
Evolves by trade
cokeldur is a good pick nice for showdown and okay for spriters
what are ou meta missing
golisopod
Landorus t
OH GOD
all gen 1 and 2 mons are in automatically so that comparison doesnt work
don't even mention that.. thing
Hippo
picking therian if possible would have been villain behaviour
i dont see the idea of hippo
It's a ground with sand stream that can slack off
I can fuse it with snorlax
ttar better for sand and steelix better for def ground
just fuse with a mon with recovery
And hippo does all 3 in 1
It would definitely see usage, but its not anything groundbreaking pun intended
Its role compression for a fusion, it allows you to have more freedom with the other half
It would prob get more usage than tar
why
0.1 seconds before the next doubles tournament
that's who I'm waiting for
don't
No fake out
What would you even fuse incineroar with? It already has all the tools it needs
exactly
Recovery
Arcanine for morning sun?
Entei for V create
Surprised no enteis were used in doubles
in every way
There was an Entei/Jolteon
Oh yeah that's right
The problem is Incineroar is one of the bulkiest dark types already lmao
Poor umbreon getting ran out of a job
Btw what's the fastest physical ghost type
I think it's mmk right
Actually Tyranitar/Incineroar (idk order)
honestly you could just have 6 incineroar fusions that each fill a different niche
Probably water? Havent made a team yet
and each pokemon it's fused with will be 10 times better than they were by being fused with incineroar
Anaconja will win with tinted lens yanmega
is that one gonna be singles too?
actually
Why hasn't the gen 5 starters been added yet?
i will do ghost because is my fav type
Dragon for me, cuz my goat noivern is a dragon
It's also a flying
So you could go the lance way
Also each of your mons must have that type right
So I got to get ready for that enxorus
"HaHa VCreate go brrrr"
Also the validator doesn't recognise my team for some reason even though they all share dark type
Mono team? Yea that's a bug rn
Are they fixing it?
Yea
Whats the new pokemon that will be added to the poll?
How does the boss format work
Pick a pokemon with an evo line, one pokemon is fused with that pokemon, the rest must be fused with a prevo of that pokemon
The prevo fusions can't be fused with fully evolved pokemon (pokemon that dont evolve are fine) or legendaries
Does Cresselia count as legendary?
Technically, it's a mythical
Cresselia is actually a legendary, Darkrai is mythical though
I'm assuming mythicals are counted as legendaries for this
Else every team is going to have at least 1 Jirachi lol
And entei
I can't deal with that v create
So yeah
One fully evolved Mon
And a team of eviolites of that mon
Got it
Oh this will be interesting
Well see some scythers here
Do we know what the new mon for the vote is?
That's interesting
Who do you think is gonna do well
dusk forgot to say if the boss dies you instantly lose
Ah F
No memento strats here then
why would you memento with your best mon though
Its the last thing they'd expect?
doing something unexpected doesnt mean it was a good play
if i click plot on weavile sure my opp wouldnt expect that
but it doesnt matter bc i do no damage
You are correct
So if read the rules correctly, there is nothing stoping me from fusing my "boss" pokemon with a legendary, right?
Both of your mons from your boss fusion must have evo lines I think
idt it said that in the rules
.....oh well there's goes my entire strategy
This is why Im not participating in this one
Wait then why did the rules specify the boss can be fused with a legendary?????????
(not the fact I got sacred fired out of existence last time)
There aren't any legendaries that evolve in IF lmao
Whether a pokemon that doesn't evolve is considered fully evolved or not varies
Yeah I think in order to be fully evolved you need to be able to have evolved
The doubles guy picked his mon yet?
yeah i dont think hes asleep
Because I did specify in the rules that you pick either side of the fusion for your boss
If you can only pick one side your options become much easier 
It wasn't meant to be taken seriously
Wait I do have to worry about v create spam or not?
Also shout out to shuckle and mimikyu
I have a feeling they'll be important
Btw
Worst game I've ever won
https://replay.pokeathlon.com/#replay=illusion911-trainmananime-1724365520629
With losing your "boss" fusion being an instant K.O I wonder how good things like Prankster Destiny bond or sturdy + Metalburst will be.
Usually the problem of these strats is that they can only really trade, but in the tournament that trade is an instant win.
Will probably stay at gimmicky tho.
Big boss is really Just edh for showdown
what is edh?
I'm still so confused about the exact rules
Boss is full evolved fusion
The others are preevos + something not fully evolved
And need to have less base stats
Can the boss be fused with a pokemon that doesn't evolve?
If the boss is from two evolution lines (eg, Sudowoodo/Seaking), can I have grunts of both goldeen and bonsly fusions?
I feel like my grasp on the rules has somehow gone down with time
Yes you can fuse bowsly with a kecleon but not with a legendary
Not sure about the boss
Yes you can have from both
Trade evolutions should make for really good grunts.
Did the doubles winner chose it already it?
no
He came out of nowhere, won, didnt elaborate and left
We all talking about this but bro is either taking the biggest powernap or at work
We dont know his timezone it could be anything
I think you're on to something
Cottonee ftw
Dbond cottonee
no you have to pick one of them
How is the weight for fusion calculated?
For moves like Heatcrash, heavyslam grassknot etc.
Does it just use the weight of the body, the average or something else?
average
Doubles guys mon is corphish
is anyone else starting to get annoyed with managing all these teams?
@odd kiln how do you do this?
I just delete team I don't use anymore
wym manage
@pure breach is tourney #6 monotype ran in the OU format?
Should be in IF Monotype, which is currently identical to OU since I need to make monotype work with fusions (which I will do this weekend)
Can my boss Pokemon be fused with a legendary?
@pure breach when you got time can you add functionality to the calc that indicates that a mon is fused
i.e. say like crawdaunt-meloetta-pirouette or something
Question: can it be a triple fusion
Oh yeah this is buried in my todo list somewhere, just haven’t touched the calc in a while, but will do once I regain some time and probably after the tournaments, since the validators are currently the main focus
oh ok
I just found out aurorus works here
you make a lot of teams, isn't your showdown clustered with them?
i just put my best teams at the top of the builder
I wouldn't mind a folder system for this
there is one
np
what do you use hail for though
aurora veil
they dont get veil youd have to find another mon to do that
delibird is allowed
i rue the day i have to use amaura delibird
but yeah it's a lot of work and I don't think it works that well
to set up veil for my other 4 amaura fusions
especially because you have the MIGHTY SUN RIGHT THERE
For rain and sand you have to use your big boss, with tyranitar or politoed
But for sun, vulpix works
and from then you can go solarbeam, or just firepower
the problem is you cant use vcreate
you can
Start rueing (?), Delicup is coming
let's go delibird!
there it is he picked corphish/crawdaunt
120 base atk + those abilities
looks good
Adaptability
id probably immediately suspect it if it gets added
Hmm
as i said in #pif-hoenn-discussion it 2hkos everything in rain
with melop yes
anyone have a big boss team yet
I do
u wanna test
ok
also got a big boss team
im sure about my boss but i didnt build it yet
how do you make topsturvy in a fusion
dammit its wobbufet but not wynaut
when I want to spam leech seed but then they put a grass steel type in front
use trick or treat problem solved
(copium)
also i finished my big boss team
but i cant practice
this is why you dont use leech seed
wanna practice with me?
So far I'm seeing:
- Entei vulpix combos
- Lots of middle evo mons, with dual type to hide weaknesses
- Lots of physical power
- Lots of scald, intimidate and will o wisp to counter
sure
my name is pevetos
i cant find the big boss ladder
it's in the extras
I’ve just pushed what should be the final fixes for Big Boss format, as always, please try it out so there’s no issues with the validator when the tournament comes
Not sure who I should @ for this, but FULLY EVOLVED TRIPLE FUSIONS ARE CURRENTLY LEGAL IN THE TEAMBUILDER FOR BIG BOSS
Strangely, nfe triple fusions are illegal.
This is a legal team
https://pokepast.es/fad61b181fdc4e09
If you chose a legendary trio boss you tecnically cant pick any grunt
you should ping me, I'll fix that
fixed
What about using entei with big boss
Is that legal?
i dont see why a triple fusion starter can not be a big boss
The doc is updated btw guys
doesn't look like it
says the big boss is fully evolved in both body and head, I assume both fusion components must be fully evolved, which Entei wouldn't be as it's a single-stage
but some clarification on this would be nice @thin schooner
The Boss can be fused with a legendary in the teambuilder
Also, last time I tried
Chlorophyll was allowed
...if it can't then everyones going to have a lot of fun rebuilding teams
A couple hours before the tournament too
Chlorophyll isn't legal with Drought, I just spent a while building a Big Boss sun team to find out it won't work
I tried to get weather to work for a while, got nothing. At least I already have a team
I considered using Sandshrew as my grunts
Yeah I thought sun would be good because vulpix and amaura are the only weather setters for grunts
It prob still is
But I haven't found the right grunts
Lowkey Sandshrew isn't unusable
If Sandshrew (not just Sandslash) learned Thousand Arrows, I probably would have used it)
There's few good Pokémon worth as grunts
they will mostly grunts so they will not be that bad
I saw pex and rhydon
pex is final evo inst it?
And rhydon is just so crazy it stops a lot of normal grunts
rhydon is peak boss now that you are saying
Dual typing with no double weakness, 2 good abilities
Rhydon is grunt
Rhyperior is boss
Shhhh don’t spoil my terrible team idea
Although almost definitely not going to make the tour due to family visiting so
Idk why they banned Misdreavus and not Rhydon lol
why they banned misdreavus?
They probably thought it would be too strong as a grunt
is her base stat too high?
435 BST. Rhydon is 485
Tried to make a Sandshrew sand team, its just not worth it. You can never switch into Scald, and the team was just spam hazards + roar and hope your ace (which has to be Sandslash and Tyranitar) manages to sweep.
The other weathers don't fare any better
you could try a water absorb mon, idk if they are playable
Ima just go with a dragon dance sweeper and call it a day, fuck it lmao
too lazy to think of a team
if i have like metagross and haxorous can my grunts be either beldum and axew or do i choose one
you can have the mid stage
Idk try validate it using a mix of both
If it isn't valid, then no
If you can that's huge though, I can use something that's not specifically tied to just one line
Holy shit
i dont know how but my FTL sprite for this month is in showdown somehow
OOOK- that's huge
im deleting the message so idont give away my team
i dont know why i wrote sprite
the catch is
you cant have a legendary for the boss
Pseudos though
Yea I feel like everyone's gonna use pseudos
i mean i have 1 but its the first evo
and ive chosen the mon i have for very specific reasons
I can see someone using like 2 pseudo fusion and make a team of both lines
Like the boss would just be an endgame sweeper
i tried that but
the boss sprite was not cool
seriously
we definetley need to up the standard of pseudo x pseudo fusions
or maybe garchomp just sucks as a body( it does not)
sprite aside
~~We both know we both have the power to change that
~~
Tbh most of my teams in the past don't got customs either
the potential is very high
Tbh I'm curious if everyone would still use regenerator spam
they would
Personally I didn't
At one point it was a team of bidoofs
Yeag that right, both should be fully evolved
@thin schooner can u hop on rn?
So Entei can’t be part of the boss Fusion?
I’ll have to make that change
I think
@pure breach can u please hop on rn
I cannot unfortunately
sorry
also that whole thing has been fixed, both fusion components in the boss fusion must be the fully evolved form of an evolution line. Sorry if this causes you to have to change your teams, but the rules had that for a while, I just hadn't implemented it properly
(someone that would vote for gourgeist or iligant or florges if possible)
if anyone want it just send me a message
Can we ban rhydon?
rhydon deez
What's the thoughts on having a group voice chat when these tournaments happen
That’s from genlock
Is anyone available for last minute big boss testing
I also considered making a bidoof team🙏
Chat
it's time
to make a team in 60 minutes again
AND LOSE HORRIBLY
maybe not on the first round
but still
I made my team yesterday
although I haven't tested it
and I made it in 30 minutes

imagine testing your team

I didn't even make my team yet
strong pokemon, weak pokemon FUCK IT USE LYCANROC RAHHH
What does a rockruff team even offer?
It doesn't even get sturdy 😭
being cute and stuffs
I just like it fr 
oh well
I guess I'll try to build a good team
without rockruff
making me make a team without lycanroc whatsoever is like trying to make a bird not fly 
you can bring rockruff, but don't make it your boss 
Otherwise you don't really have a chance

Or maybe you can make the boss be lycanroc and another mon, and then make your team build around the second mon
lemme think of good bosses 
I got an idea
I am doing this for fun anyway, so it'll be a fun way to test my theory
honestly half way into the team, it's gonna be bad, but I got nothing to lose, as I had nothing to begin with
Same
Same
so what are the rule of big boss?
@inner girder
I made something that's gonna fail me the first round
and it's gonna be amazing
I have a plan AND IT WILL NOT WORK
Same
Get them @obtuse shoal
Same 
I feel like
I am a newbie entering the trenches rn
I don't know what I am entering but I'll do it and lose with pride that I used a singular rockruff on my team
50/50 my plan works 
If it makes you feel better, that's a lot of the people joining it
last tourney
I made it to the
3rd round
somehow
with a team that I only did for the funnies
I think I accidently made smth really good
I've only made it round 1 in the 2 I've participated in
steelworker is actualy a really valuable ability
- grass steel typing with metagross swords dance and bullet punch
it kind of sweeped one round

I was just like "hmm that seems fine, alola doesn't have many mons anyways, and I just wanna do it for the funnies"
my team is ready, this will go either really badly or really good
if you'll fight me
really good

as practice now? for me it's ok
it's not a bad idea
but I feel like steel resists are too prevalent for that
water steel is just good
honestly I really know nothing about comp scene
I know what's roughly good and bad
but not the details of it
actually, I realized you could be using 2 different grunt species
and not only 1
so you could have had duoblade and someone else
Yes the team have severas duoblades and things else
like, you had aegislash and gourgheist
Good luck everyone, remember to have fun
you could have mixed some with doublade, others with pumpkaboo
Guys, If you lose please show your teams, I want to see the team and boss 
well I won on turn 3 after my oponent DCed xd
Show your team
(it's very bad)
Well, lets see if have some theme or something
no way another person did the same thing I did hahaha
Yeah the rules were... not explained well
I only used swablus so kind of surprising
And considering what I was up against, I think i did pretty good
Takeaways from Big Boss:
- BST is basically king
- Type matchups matter but not as much
- There are many more strong physical single-stage mons than there are special ones
- Cross-gen evolutions are generally the strongest choices, due to the value of base stats
That was so fun, I actually didn't care about sandygast until now, I wanted to use IF infinite weather with shore up, and made it to the finals with it 
One more thing, mixed attackers are good since you can vary your offenses
Dude, that was absolutely cinematic
My silly team https://pokepast.es/3fd6e5101b0266f6
Shore up actually so good, don't know how I managed to deal with it
Taunt 
I saw your team when you posted it earlier and decided that my plan for facing you was "nasty plot and pray"
I didn't even really get to get Big Boss DC going
Eject button was there for a reason
Eventually I begrudgingly added special mons to replace my Heracross and Dhelmise out of terror for cotton guard
It doesnt have recoery
tbh I forget the reason as soon as the tournament started
Think it was fear of fairys
Or maybe I picked the wrong item
and meant to pick red card
Setup + Eject Button 
Actually it might have been for outrage
