Rotation Battles were much more fun than Single and Double battles, and their removal is the biggest sin in Gen 7.

They probably weren't removed because nobody liked them, but because the game can barely handle Double Battles as is; how would it work with six Pokemon out in the field? Exactly.

Yeah, I think so too. The 3DS can barely handle Sun and Moon as-is, forcing even more models on-screen would probably end badly. Triple and Rotation Battles are the Ice Climbers of Pokemon.

I have the following dudes bred/EV-trained/leveled to 50 for Super Singles Battle Tree. I keep getting stuck around the 38-40 mark and was hoping for some suggestions. Metagross@Metagrossite Clear Body--->Tough Claws Jolly, 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP - Meteor Mash - Earthquake - Zen Headbutt - Agility Garchomp@Garchompite/Yache Berry/Lum Berry/Rocky Helmet???? Rough Skin--->Sand Force (Ugh) Jolly, 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP - Earthquake - Dragon Claw - Fire Fang/Poison Jab - Swords Dance Mimikyu@Life Orb/Focus Sash??? Disguise Jolly, 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP - Shadow Claw - Shadow Sneak - Play Rough - Swords Dance Tapu Koko@Life Orb Electric Surge Timid, 252 Speed, 252 Sp. Attack, 6 HP - Thunderbolt - Dazzling Gleam - Grass Knot - U-Turn Tapu Fini@Leftovers Misty Surge Timid, 252 Speed, 252 Sp. Attack, 6 HP - Moon Blast - Ice Beam - Taunt Kartana@Focus Sash Beast Boost Jolly, 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP - Smart Strike - Leaf Blade - Sacred Sword - Swords Dance Celesteela@Sitrus Berry Beast Boost Adamant, 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP - Heavy Slam - Acrobatics - Earthquake - Autotomize Tapu Koko is pretty amazing until I start hitting the mid 30s or so. I'd like to keep using him because he makes this slog so much faster. Celesteela may seem weird, and definitely not the standard set, but even without Nature or investment in EVs, she can tank a lot, and is actually pretty drat strong. She brings a lot of good immunities and resistances, and after a +Attack Beast Boost, she's hard to take down. Sitrus Berry + Acrobatics is self explanatory. Tapu Fini has been the least useful, but formed the third core of my most used team. She was basically there to soak up special attacks and Taunt has been surprisingly useful. I dropped her for Garchomp after I faced one too many Ferrothorns and felt like I really needed a Fire attack. Garchomp has been awesome, but honestly, I think Garchompite is useless in comparison to Life Orb or something else. The others are brand new and haven't been used, but are available. Honestly, I'm more than happy to breed up something new, but I'm just not sure what. I really want to keep using Koko, and I think Mega Metagross seems so scary that he deserves a spot on the team, but those two share some weaknesses and would require something outside of what I've already got prepared to really do well. At this point, I'm frustrated enough that I might just do Metagross/Koko/Garchomp and go all in on offense and cross my fingers.

6v6 singles is the superior format that Arceus intended and anything else is just a gimmick. Gamefreak needs to bring it back in proper fashion.  Also beat the elite four at last! Playing with xp share off I was actually a few levels below them so it ended up being a bit of a challenge - and post game is legit kicking my rear end, just got swept by that dude that has you collect zygardes.  Would my best bet for leveling up be just doing the elite four again?Final team:

If a pokemon with a substitute up gets hit by a super effective attack, that doesn't proc weakness policy right?

Would raising a Mandibuzz be worth it for taking on the Super Singles Battle Tree? Dark/Flying perfectly covers the weaknesses of Metagross+Garchomp, i.e. Dark/Ghost/Ground, plus it would give me a really tanky Pokémon, which is something I don't have on this team. A set with Toxic/Protect/Roost/Brave Bird @Leftovers sounds pretty good, or Toxic/Knock Off/Foul Play/Roost. I'm worried that the buzzard sounds great on paper, but I'm overestimating how useful it is to cover weaknesses in the Battle Tree and focus on dishing out damage.

Mandibuzz packs a good amount of punch with Foul Play, not sure how useful it'd be mind since generally Mandibuzz is better as a defog support set. I still say go for it since Mandibuzz is ace and won me over last gen.

Crosspeice posted:Beating the Single Tree gets you the Kanto starter Mega stones, it's only 20 battles. Then beating the Super Singles with a 50 streak gets you a stamp, a new pose and the ability to choose the Battle Legend music normally. Then getting to 100 streak nets you a Lansat Berry and a 200 streak get you the Starf Berry. Getting a 50 streak in Super Doubles and Super Multi just gets you a stamp. What? No, getting a 200 streak in any format gives you the rewards.
