if there's a serious monotype thing happening i would do Ghost, but yeah is it in the game or on showdown

idc either way but if we use showdown I think it would be more fun to use Pokémon from the Alola Dex.

Alakazam/Kadabra looks like a really good pokemon chaining guy. You get a couple with Sychronize and the good natures, level em up, and give them recover for sustaining, role play for checking natures, thunder wave for ending the chain, and whatever attack

I think that should be a given. Does Showdown have a built-in non Pokébank ruleset for doubles?

I made a recycle only munchlax for dittos. That way I can trick the original ditto a leppa berry then just focus on the ones he calls in.

Yeah but I tend to just put the leftover eggs I get after a batch in there. Eggs hatch crazy fast with tauros charge and a fletchinder. I do miss being able to just hold the dpad down like in x y though.

The Pokedex is like wikipedia, but there's absolutely no oversight. It's written entirely by 11-year-olds going on their first Pokemon adventures.

The ditto chaining method is pretty great. I might keep doing it until I get a 5IV. I think that's 1/16 chance?

Cant decide if I prefer to do it on the cart or on showdown. But I think VGC '17 rules are perfect: doubles, 6 pokemon choose 4, alola dex, no solgaleo/lunala/magearna. Ultra beasts/tapus are allowed but maybe we wanna restrict to one or none?

mega evos y/n?

actually nvm mega gengar is just broke and that would be unfair if no leggos is in play

also you generally want six and then you just pick four iirc
