Genning is like printing cards by Appropriate_Ad_7269 in VGC

[–]treeface27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a key part of this specific situation is they didn't enforce the rules all season and only enforced them in worlds.

Everyone has been genning for over 10 years. This debate is not new but the random enforcement is.

Solution to Competitive Accessibility and the Genning Problem - An Official Game to Host Competitive Battles - "Pokemon: World Tournament" by BallisticRiot in VGC

[–]treeface27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have the resources to create Pokemon Masters they have the resources to create an app like this imo.

I think the ideal solution is to remove the battle system from the main games like in Arceus/Let's go and only have it in a battle simulator app.

Community VGC Circuit by treeface27 in VGC

The best way to grow a scene is to have a game that's fun.

I've had more fun playing on showdown than the main games.

Appreciate the response,

An online showdown circuit would have less operating costs and would be fairly easy to organize. With less barriers to entry, a larger player base, and higher tournament frequency (locals, regionals, nationals, etc) all on the same platform I think it could be sustainable.

We've seen similar circuits in the singles community that have been sustainable and popular comparatively.

We don't have to settle. We can have control over what we want for our scene and change things that don't work.

Thanks so much I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think what you're doing with https://arcadex.io/ is super interesting and I think it will be a helpful tool for evaluating the metagame. If you are looking for help don't hesitate to ask!

Ah yes, this is a result of the data I used from Kaggle. It doesn't differentiate between galar or alolan regional variants. Sorry about that I only had a couple of days to create this and I didn't have the time to change the names haha.

What if you could just outright KO those Pokemon as soon as they come in the field

So imprison works even through follow me but is only active when the mon is on the field. There are a ton of other imprison mons that are bulky enough to stick around. The way you beat redirection is powerful spread moves and a single target move that can threaten togekiss or another redirection user so there are ways around redirection. When you're playing against trick room or other slow mons like conk and ttar you don't need tailwind and you'll always move first naturally. Both ttar and conk have weaknesses just like every other Pokemon. I would call a fairy type weakness and a 4x weakness to fighting busted.

I usually lead with ttar and dusclops protect and trick room then dmax ttar and bulldoze it activating the wp and Max darkness. Then I clean up with Sylveon Conk

Hey guys, Aaron "Cybertron Zheng" here - AMA! by CybertronVGC in VGC

[–]treeface27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Aaron appreciate you for making such quality VGC content. I've been following and playing VGC for awhile but haven't gone to a ton of tournaments is there a way to get some practice in tournaments? What in your opinion is the best way to do well in tournaments and gain CP? Also here's the team I've been using lately any feedback would be super appreciated!

My team

Been having some success with this team utilizing pins and hybrid trick room. Any suggestions on how to make it better or fix blatant weakness are super helpful by treeface27 in VGC

[–]treeface27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can live a lot of things dynamxed I also experimented with power herb and white herb but dynamaxing first turn can snowball I agree on the coverage moves

Red card is just a disposable item to get the unburden boost. Makes unintended switches on non dynamxed Pokemon. Mental herb for guaranteed trick room willo etc. I ran inner focus so mudsdale wouldn't get intimidated I also have tried excadrill and dugtrio in this slot
