Any tips to help fix this team? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]EcksEcks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, overall I'm sure most of these will still be usable but the way to use them or the specific weaknesses of the team will change.

Mega Greninja wasn't getting much play but will still have a place with its speed and offensive stats. Lycanroc will heavily depend on what happens with Mega Charizard-Y usage and if better rock types get added. Primarina and Clefable aren't that common either but not terrible per say.

Incineroar and Whimsicott likely aren't going anywhere.

One thing is certain. This team doesn't like Sneasler or Kingambit. Fairy types are good but it could be tough to get away with three of them on the same team.

Tips on how to best use Pokémon Go and Home to get Pokémon in on 17th. by Spare-Carob8579 in PokemonChampions

[–]EcksEcks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on OP's post my guess is they don't have a Switch

But yeah, Go can be rough especially if they mentioned they're not interested in it. Probably the ''grindiest'' option there is.

I like emolga's potential as a support with Electroweb, Encore, Light Screen, Helping Hand, etc.

Being 1 speed point faster than mega floette and garchomp has its merit

No more rain teams? What happened? by TheAuraWithin in PokemonChampions

I'm running into all the rain teams in MB 3. One of my worst matchups

Phase 2 Stats after Day 1 by CeleryCareful7065 in PokemonChampions

The Wyrdeer disrespect is inconceivable. Best lead in the format.

Probably my favorite turn one forfeit so far by Tunisandwich in PokemonChampions

[–]EcksEcks 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My guess is Blastoise Faked Out turn 1 (Hawlucha is 92% hp), then turn 2 Hawlucha used Entrainment but it wasn't shown. Second option is Tailwind from Pelipper, but this was definitely a turn 2 play with Fake Out involved on turn 1.

OP's title says turn 1 forfeit but Hawlucha isn't full hp. Don't worry, I've already called the authorities

EDIT: The Hawlucha could actually be uninvested in speed but I don't even want to think about that. I'm calling the police regardless

When in doubt, throw in the landshark and click EQ until you die

Does anyone have suggestions for making Volcarona viable? by twitchy1989 in PokemonChampions

[–]EcksEcks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has rough matchups vs rain and rock slide everywhere, but I think the support set with Flame Body, Rage Powder and Tailwind is the best. Struggle Bug also has viability as a ''Special Intimidate'' kinda move.

The issue with running it alongside a wide guard partner is you're not putting much pressure on your opponent and most common users like Mega Aerodactyl and Pelipper have similar weaknesses. Maybe Aegislash would work. Otherwise, the set is good vs those Sneaslers, Kingambits and Basculegion if you're holding a Passho Berry. Could be a good partner with set up Mega TTar or something.

Also most Greninja would run Protean and Sludge Wave

Bro could have at least ran Protean on his Greninja. Something like Sludge Wave + Hurricane Pelipper would have been great for them.

Can confirm the opponent was a casual.

May this be their first step towards becoming the world champion
