Haha, I just saw Wailord, made me lol too. Seviper is so tiny. :'(
I've always been disappointed by the size of Dragonite. It's just so underwhelming.

Wailord came and just took up the whole screen.

You can also set individual 'mon appearances to their Mega's to see their sizes.
Goddamn, Latios and Latios are small.
At least Rayquaza is the right size. :lol
EDIT: Even Lucario is so small. :'(
And then Arceus is twice the size of what I expected.
Goddamn, Serperior, WHY ARE YOU SO SMALL.
Hydreigon and Haxorus are so disappointing.
And Xerneas is huge. :lol

I need to check out the Pokedex it seems lol
And here I was planning on holding a major giveaway for New Years.
Now you all have to wait 3 weeks for a chance at some kickass Pokemon! It would be a shame to have someone beat me with a Pokemon with my name on it D:

Machamp is weirdly tiny

Yup. Just gotta be careful you don't use either one on a mon that knows recoil attacks.

Man, I need a Mega Slowbro. Calm Mind + huge base defense + Shell Armor:
At first I was against Shell Armor, because Regenerator was awesome, but then thinking more I eventually got over it, now they can't just land a lucky crit, a phazer will be needed.

Just go back to gen 1 with amnesia slowbro and pretend it's mega slowbro. It's way better.

I'm so confident that I'm going to give you my team ahead of time:
Kangaskhan
Landorus-T
Talonflame
Aegislash
Salamence
Sylveon
With this unstoppable group of 6 you stand no chance.
Wow, doing what I just did resulted in a much more legitimate team than I expected.

"Gabite gained a boosted 70,344 EXP points!"
Gotta love Blissey bases.
Still need to breed me a pure physical Gible, though. Dunno why I wanted to go mixed with this one so much.

Oh man, I need to rush to the end of the game and the move tutors so I can finish my team. Figuring out how to get the items over will be the annoying part.
My mono ghost team can handle it.

Very disappointing. When you don't follow smogons tiers the game turns into a cheese-fest unfortunately
lmfao
PreyingShark
Member
What if I'm actually using mono dark? :O
How is doubles a cheese fest? If anything smogon is the more boring system, singles are much more limiting than doubles.

Unbanned everything dude. Lots of unbanned and playable non-legendaries are far more powerful than any legendary, especially with mega forms, yet they're banning some very fair legendaries and allowing broken pokemon like Mega Gengar/Mega Lucario
I think it's a more fun format overall. Mega Gengar and Lucario are no where near broken in doubles by the way. Singles and Doubles are totally different games and you can't really compare them.
Yeah you're right hah. I've never watched any of the Pokemon cartoons or any anime for that matter
Though i did try to watch one episode last week and i had to turn it off because my girlfriend got super weirded out
Turned off

I actually tested out a mono-Dark team on Showdown, it worked surprisingly well!
PreyingShark
Member
I knew that at least one person would make false assumptions about a format they've never played but oh my god I didn't think it would be this quickly...
Doubles is a far different game than singles. Mega Gengar and Mega Lucario ain't shit in doubles, but some of those "very fair legendaries" are broken as shit. It's a completely different game, just because something works in singles doesn't mean it'll work in doubles.

Is the Battle Spot ok or reigned by hardcores? Will I be able to get someone on my level, or is it just random?
PreyingShark

It goes by Rating. The better players tend to have higher ratings so you should be fine. 1500 to low 1400's tends to be "FOCUS BLAST ON EVERYTHING!" territory.
There's a ranking system so you usually end up playing people around you skill level. There's totally a learning curve though so don't take your losses too hard.

Ok, thanks. Can't wait to have my face smashed many times.
Though I am used to getting wrecked, I played Mario Kart 8 and my W/L ratio is so low that it could pass as a radiation meter.
What's focus blast? Sounds similar to focus miss...

Alright boys and girls, what are the hardest counters for thundurus and landurus? Also cresselia.
**Talking VGC.

Maybe not a counter, but Rotom-W?
Manectric or anything with Lightning Rod usually stops Thundurus really well. If it has Swagger it can still be annoying though. Quick Guard also helps.

Do what I did last GAF tourney and use Kanga/Talonflame/Garchomp to get through Swiss
>_>
<_<
EDIT: I'm not doing that this time though because that won't work nearly as well this time.
Garchomp is so 2014.
The Super Training music is the best music to listen to on the Battle Resort. The training theme makes it feel like I'm Rocky and training hard or something lol.
Also has the same 1-2-3-4, 3-4 beat as Zinnia's theme.
I think 3 weeks is good.
I really need to go on to Battle Spot, but I can't stop my breeding spree.

Haha, nice. Yeah Onix/Steelix are more like the Sandworms from Dune in scale as opposed to just say regular earthworms.

Yeah, looks like Rotom makes it back another year.
+1 for Mega Sceptile lol. Probably going to use scrafty again for a while, too. Between all the pranksters and talonflame, I get tons of mileage out of him.
**Wait, I was mostly joking, but I remembered Sceptile gets Quick Guard as well. This christmas tree lizard might actually be super good. Testing must be done.

My Riolu is level 73, he'd better start liking me soon or he won't be able to evolve anymore.:lol
When in doubt, buy it's love with vitamins.
Well HP Ice is fairly common on Thundurus so Sceptile might not be the best counter.
Blue Ninja

I just realized it only evolves during the day, and it's nighttime over here. Lol, time to change my clock.
Now I need a Heart Scale for Close Combat. :'(

Just shove EV berries down its throat. Much more economical.
All my berrier are in X...Not sure if I'm up for playing farmer again just yet. >_>
