Pokemon Tournament Stage II: "To Be a Master!"

[Karifean]

Wow this thread is on fire! You guys are really making me regret not playing Pokémon D:

[Skyblade]

Someone's fired up

I found a way to look at things in a more positive light.

Thanks to Bern being a complete jerk, actually.

I faced off against Ulti again. I still lost, but I'm much, much happier with the match overall (even though I screwed up so many times). I hope Ulti recorded it, I can't record an ORAS battle on X, which is what I battle from (because Kalos is just so much better).

Final differential of that fight was 3-0, Ulti's favor. It was 2-0 Ulti the time I ragequit, so take whichever you prefer.

[Fynn]

The non-ragequit match counts, sorry. Also, make sure you rematch Shai.

Good bye, mysterious egg. I never knew what was inside of you. D':

Also, Zi just wanted to say sucker punch really blows

I don't think I've hit anyone with it in the tournament so far. Do I just have bad luck?

Possibly. Sucker Punch is really powerful, but it can be played around, especially if your opponent knows you carry it.

You can also use that to your advantage, though.


For example, I was in a match where I had a Mega Absol facing a Slowking. Sucker Punch WOULD KO the Slowking, and my opponent knew it (he also knew by that point that I had no other Dark coverage). So, to avoid the KO, he switched out (since Sucker Punch only works if he attacks). And the Pokémon he switched in got OHKOd by Play Rough. I knew he wasn't going to attack, because he couldn't risk the Sucker Punch. And I used that to predict either a switch or a support move, and go for the best move I had to reliably hit his whole team.

And you have the nerve to say you suck.

"Ah, right... here's the new
battle against Skyblade:"

Good bye, mysterious egg. I never knew what was inside of you. D':

"It's actually a cute little Evee~"

[Pumpkin]

I think I'll take part in the next one. I am very nervous because while I don't have a fear of losing per se, I do have a fear of other people watching me play games. I feel like they're judging what I do, like which moves I picked and whatever. And I am not an expert at all, I level up super slowly, I have no tricks, so that makes me nervous

But I would like to try. I might have fun and if I don't I can just not participate next time

[Skyblade]

And you have the nerve to say you suck.

I do suck. I didn't put Knock Off on my Absol that match. >.<

I also wasn't as nervous that match. I had a chat session up, and I was chatting back and forth with my opponent. It calmed me and let me think about things more. We even gave each other tips mid-match.

[Fynn]

Well, if that helps you, I can be chattier next time

And it would be awesome if you took part in the next one, Pumpkin! Leveling is super easy if you know what to do - I was always slow too and I got my pokes to level 100 in one day.

Although next time, the rules are gonna be a bit different

I did want to set up an EoFF chat session for this. Should have thought of it earlier.

And it would be awesome if you took part in the next one, Pumpkin! Leveling is super easy if you know what to do - I was always slow too and I got my pokes to level 100 in one day.

And we're always ready to help out and offer advice too! That's my favorite part of this, the helping! It'll be great to have you there.

Although next time, the rules are gonna be a bit different

VGC style battles?

Now how would we even do that!
