Pokémon World Championships 2019 - August 16-18

I mean in theory it helps it, but it's still a questionable idea as long as you need both on the field at once, since it means you can't switch galarian weezing from threats without crippling slaking, not to mention koing weezing just shuts down Slaking as well
Or they took on board that people didn't like knowing everything when they were announcing all about gen 7. We've still got 3 months before release anyway...
And it will be an amazing counter to annoying pokemon like Mimikyu
Gen VII is one thing, but we're markedly behind the pace of Gen VI at this point too.
Ehh, kinda lackluster. I don't feel a sense of wonder seeing these battles.
It's a trailer aimed squarely at people interested in competitive to be honest, hence why it was shown during worlds
I play competitive. The mechanics are cool, it's just that visually it looks boring.
What are the rules for the Pokémon Go World Tournament? What's the CP and are there legendary restrictions?
1500CP, 3v3, don't remember what the restrictions are, but I think it's similar to VGC
I doubt it, Sleep Powder seems like it was Game Freak's greatest failure, it's only been added to 4 pokemon lines since Gen 4 and 2 of those learn Spore anyway
Its Great league only. So anything below 1500 cp. Legendaries and mythicals are allowed. Someone used a Deoxys-D.
Thanks for the replies.. This is actually better then I thought it would be. Masuda is getting his ass kicked. Lol
Some of the ability replacing moves don't affect Truant so this ability might not disable it. Plus, Slaking may not even be in the dex of course
It's because they are available to all players in Go and not the main games (limited distribution, mostly promotional).
Nothing weird about this, it makes total sense.
That's why its wack. The mythical ban was always dumb, even more so when bank was a thing
It's wack that some people can't get them without going to a Target or Gamestop for a short window or they're gone for years? lol wat
How is Stealth Rocks and Spikes not a common part of VGC? That Ashton guy would've won pretty easily against that Fabio guy if he had put Stealth Rocks up. Heck, it would've been a quicker match.
OP
OP
You only have 4 Pokemon in a VGC match with two out at a time, so switching isn't nearly as common as in Singles.
From the one match I got to sit down and watch and the rest that I've watched while doing other things there's a lot of Switching. If the Ashton guy had up Rocks or Spikes the Flavio guy would've lost himself the entire series with how much he was switching in and out his Pokémon.
Protect doesn't stop Stealth Rocks from going up.
The Ashton guy basically lost because the other guy knew how to pivot his Incineroar so that he could've get getting his Intimidate off. Rocks would've prevented that.
I don't even like doubles so I won't put the strategy I have into play.. lol... just a thought looking on from the outside.
I'm more of a singles kind of guy.
No, I hate Stealth Rocks but in a Battles like these where there's prizes on the line I would use them, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes and play as a trapper making my opponent limit on what he's able to do.
It's a play style I don't like but on I would use.
Well the good thing about the no-pebbles meta is you might cause some upsets. Though it might mean you have to give up a move for it. But I'm guessing everyone has a defogger just in case
You probably right... I was mainly making a observation.
It's hard calling anything a upset when the majority of teams are build almost the same. It's just who plays the team better.
By that I meant that you don't have as much move slot space as you may think. Yeah, there were a tons of switches in that Ashton vs Pidio game, but who would've setted up rocks? Smeargle? lol
As I said, it's been explored. It's kind of a meme by now among the community, "Stealth Rocks in vgc"
