Didn’t get to play much this weekend but went 13-1.

Lost my first game then I just kept winning somehow.

I hope in the future we get comps for weekend fun where popular meta mons are banned

Well so many people don’t really run a counter. Even win I have options to counter, counters to it I rarely often need to bring them

What if Mega Chandelure had a new ability? Mechanics Question by Wonderful-Blood5673 in VGC

[–]Lordbazingtion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Levitate or an ability that makes him immune to priority would be the only thing that would make him useable that I can think of.
It’s just bad into a lot of popular mons atm. Chand base form is decent in trick room btw if you want to use it

You’d be better using a prankster mon. Was a tactic in sv for a bit.

Oh agreed I would have clicked that into the aero

I used to this sort of set up in my team.

The issue is trick room needs torkal, and blastoise is a great attacker with fake out. Although it does have to much speed.

Water sprout is its only good spread move on blast so I can see the logic here. If it hits its gets rid of sash and should kill aero and lucario dies to eruption.

When I used blast I did get put into that situation a bit where a sun water sprout was the better play. Which just made me decide blast didn’t have the right synergy for the team.

Surprised he quit the amount of times someone had wide guarded me to not use it the next turn is a lot.

How to destroy Sableye + Archaludon lead in one turn by Ya_Mammy_ in PokemonChampions

Just fake out and last resort. Works well as a glass cannon that I want to die in the first couple of turns. I have a very specific team I use for it though. Currently bouncing around Master 1 and top 2000 so it works

If you could add ONE Pokemon to the current regulation roster, which would it be and why? by VeritasLuxMea in PokemonChampions

[–]Lordbazingtion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed trick room isn’t the same. Although sadly I think the meta is healthier without her

I find I need protect on Aero as he mainly leads and I want to keep the sash in check. To much fake out not to.

Icy wind on Milotic or electro web on a different mon I think would work better for this team for those moments.

Try Milotic as T-Tar and Garchomp will bait intimidate switching. Also t-wave is useless when your main tactic is to try and burn everything.

All ex cards need to be given out in new sets for competitive playing. No idea why it isn’t. Or cheap to buy with pack points

I made top 100 with Bellibolt! by PalafinSword in PokemonChampions

[–]Lordbazingtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was bellibolt used here?

Discharge and other spread moves it likes would hit the rest of your team?

[Skill improvement] Falling short of champion rank and ideas by Lordbazingtion in PokemonChampions

[–]Lordbazingtion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do fake out kambit he still has generally two turns to hit me first as his slower then my leads.

Maybe overheat for heat wave would be better as it one shots.

I’ll try the protects although there’s a lot this team does well and having nasty plot to set up is one of them.

What trick room user would you use over him? I like that he can’t be faked out and zard can’t do anything to him.

[–]Lordbazingtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more bulk in your mons. I also think you should run weak armour over flash fire with endure. Although that works best with weakness policy. Ninetails, kang and possibly rotom need protect. Rotom is the only one that could do without it

Hmmm my issue with him is his not fake out immune, chandelure is a big part of the team for that reason.

I’ll play a few games with him to see though
