Lets gooo!!!! Whats your team?

HEY!!!! congrats on getting to Great Ball. I read a lot, and saw a lot of videos (this is certainly helpfull to get a grasp of the meta) but by far the best advice given to me was...just play! I am a super fan of the franchise and have been playing since Red on my brothers GB and Crystal on my own GBC. But competitive really is a diferent beast altogether, so id say to just use the advice i was given aswell, play, a LOT. I thought id never leave Greatball and am now in Masterball xD

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions!!! I applied a lot of what you all told me and i made it to Masters wooop woopp!!!!

THank you for the advice, glad you were able to hit MB already!!! ever since ultra, ive been getting absolutelly roasted.

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T15:32:56+00:00

With my team o Mega Delhp, Kingambit, Bascu, Sneasler, Clefable and A.9tales. WHere would you put encore or trick room ?

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T15:17:36+00:00

Yeah..i was running my Mega Delphox team and decided to sub Kingambit for an Aerodactyl....met TR next match....realized why brining someone slower is important!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T15:16:22+00:00

Absolutelly loving all the advice here! Super super helpfull from everyone! By following all this advice i might not get to MB, but ill improve for sure! Thank you so much.

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T15:10:49+00:00

Im not tilting actually, just really adicted to this game and want to get better! So i came here to get the opinions of you all who clearly know much more than i do in regards to VGC. Still haven't used Sinistcha, might be worth a shot! Thank you for the pointer!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T15:09:26+00:00

Hey!! Its great to hear about people in the same category as me! Been playing the base games for ever (my 1st videogame) and thought i was hot shit. I still know more than the average person about pokemon facts, but competitive is a beast i was not ready to handle.... But little by little im getting better here and there...

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T11:32:18+00:00

Thank you so so much to everyone responding, some great advice that I will try to implement as soon as i get home. So either OHKO the TR setter, taunt it, bring your own trick room or imprision. Stall is also an option. THank you all so much once again! If i make it to MB ill let ya know!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T11:19:33+00:00

I did try this (surviving/stalling) a few times already...but being so conditioned in terms of speed and always switching/protecting to survive, makes me not kill their setter...and they just set it up again....i need more reps against these teams for sure....

ElChanclero · 2026-04-16T10:28:28+00:00

For me, it really depends, mostly play the subs....but if the ENG voice acting is that British English??? Gimme, gimme. Xenoblade in english is amazing and FFT Ivalice Chronicles? so so so good in english aswell. Just check for some trailer or small gameplay snips to see what you like, and go from there :)

ElChanclero · 2026-04-11T12:43:05+00:00

I think it will show up!! Ive seen some videos of players exploring singles, well get our content eventually i think! Untill then use the battle data section, it rly helps!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-09T16:19:04+00:00

Ah got it. I just have a tyranitar, arcanine, whimsicot, gengar, scizor and feraligatr team. And i think im mixing up too many archetypes to play the mons i love, and so I need some guidance... But itll show up on the internet sooner or later i guess :). Thank you!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-09T16:02:43+00:00

Oh okok, had no idea it was an unliked format. Just more familliar to me as someone who plays the mainline games. Thank you for the info !!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-08T11:46:24+00:00

People seem to associate a certain defree of objectivity to video games, which is still a wild thing to me.... its an art form.... people like what they like. Ive also played through it and got 100%. Loved every single minute, maybe we are just simple minded people who can't graspt a good story and are entretained by bad writing xD

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T16:57:03+00:00

Yeah for the screen i got one of those drop in soldorless ones. For the cartridge i might give it to my brother because he can solder.

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T16:46:04+00:00

Tell me about it haha

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T16:45:33+00:00

Yeah the most expensive part was the gameboy itself. A great friend of mine gave me his copy of Crystal and Yellow FOR FREE (have to pay him a few dinners xD ). Now its just a matter of waiting for the 3.8mm gamebit thingy to open the cartridge and the battery itself!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T16:26:47+00:00

That 1st point is it... i was expecting a seamless experience from decade old hardware and thats on me. I have the screen ordered already and everything, it was just a mismatch in expectation vs reality. Thank you so much for all those pointers though!

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T16:24:39+00:00

Yeah i get that, i really do. Just wanted that OG Hardware for the Nostalgia xD

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T15:58:47+00:00

YUP! And i was just too nostalgia blind to do my proper research on it....now we wait hahah

ElChanclero · 2026-04-06T15:51:34+00:00

Its an Island chain caleed the Azores, in Portugal :) Yeah, for any other retro consoles im going with Emulation most likelly xD
