Pretty sure "pseudo-legendaries" like the birds, the beasts, and the like have pretty much always been allowed in VGC rules.

I went like 10-5 today although the last one prob already shouldn't count because of whiskey. I'm running Snorlax/Mimikyu z-belly drum trick room. The other two are Golispod and Crab the which is okay but not great. 13/15 times I've been able to set up the belly drum trick room. Once it's set up I can usually sweep but I've actually had a couple things survive snorlax self destructing which surprised me a lot.

Just gotta get 100 points on the island scan. Fennekin, however, can not.

As long as a legendary doesn't have base 680 or higher, or isn't Mythical, it's allowed.

Did my required 3 matches for Mega Mawile last night. I don't have a competitive team for Alola yet, so it was like 3 good ones and my Starter who is kinda beefy (easily survives stab Thunders and stuff, but not special made). Trip Report: Tapu Madness!! Every team I ran into had at minimum 2 Tapus. Bulu and Finni (why?!) were the most popular. No team had Lele. Which is weird, because I thought Lele was good. I use it as my only Tapu, so whatever. The only unique team I fought was one that relied on Pumukyu. It poisoned my Mimikyu at the first move. Which seemed good. But didn't bother with anything else, and never even struck Mimikyu the entire match. The problem was that it's 4th guy was a Kartana. Who had some grass move Looked like vine whip, but I forget the actual move. Leaf something, I guess. I don't use grass manz. The point being, he had this really annoying start of wasting turns using Pumukyu to turn everything into water type. Made no sense to me at first. 'Maybe he just doesn't want STAB working for me?' But then at the end, it was down to Kartana who had the grass move, and could one shot my remaining team. That's a really annoying strat that I have never encountered before. Anyway, that's my story about how I probably won't be going to VGC or anything, thanks for reading.

poo poo, I forgot the tournament started this weekend. Thought it was next week. Guess I'll just throw together whatever I have and go get my participation award.  FishBulb posted:The haunted house things in festival plaza seem real lovely They are lovely. The only thing they're good for is getting a Sacred Ash if you're a completionist. Rare Kitchen is the best food stall. Everyone should get at least one 5-star, preferably 2 or more if you can afford it. Those meals are a godsend for leveling legendaries for hyper training. 5-star Lottery Shops are cool, but you should only bother with Big Dreams (Master Ball/Rare Candy) or Treasure Hunt (Gold Bottle Cap/Bottle Cap). IMO it's worth getting a couple and checking them daily since you can get free PP Ups and PP Maxes. Fortune Tellers are great for getting FC multipliers so you can grind up your plaza rank, buy the good stalls, and occasionally luck out and get a good stall for free. They also give you new phrases. All the other stalls vary from decent for in-game purposes (Soft Drink Parlor is nice for stocking up on Moomoo Milk) to nearly useless.

I've got two pokemon from Wonder Trade that had Japanese names, but reverted to their default names when they evolved. I thought they were supposed to keep their nicknames.

If you get "the connection to the server was interrupted" during a battle, what does that mean? Do you get a different message depending on where the problem was (my end, their end, at the server), or is it the same regardless? I had 3 battles and then I got put up against someone with a team full of shinies (well, his 2 leads were shinies anyway) and the battle ended with that message after one turn. Shame because it seemed like it was the start of an interesting battle. He had a Mimikyu which Swords Danced and a Sylveon which used Reflect. I Rock Tombed the Mimikyu to lower its speed while breaking its disguise, and Heavy Slammed the Sylveon to reduce it to about 30-40%.

Well, I'm currently at 0-4 in my attempt to go into this tournament with what I call "Operation Mega Primarina" (i.e. entraining Water Bubble onto it, and ideally Baton Passing on a Quiver Dance too) If nothing else, I just got completely styled on by an Alolan Ninetales using Freeze-Dry .

1-3 so far, though speaking of Alolan Ninetails I've discovered having Encore on it to be devastatingly effective if one of the opponents is spamming Protect. Not game-changing as you might guess from the record, but then I apparently overlooked Exeggutor doesn't care for the taste of Figy berries so I probably wasn't going to cover myself in glory either way. (Might have been 2-2 if Draco Meteor hadn't missed at the worst possible time though). Anyway, I started on Doubles at the Battle Tree to blow off steam. Does anyone know if the 20th match before Super Doubles unlock has a fixed opponent like Red? I'd hate to start from scratch when the reward are so bad at this tier. edit: and also hadn't put a sweeper EV spread on a support Ninetails. Proooobably shouldn't have been storing them right next to each other in the box.

Hammerite posted:Unova is the one with Mr. Medal. Looker is Sinnoh Tent 1*, which I don't have right now. I will certainly install one if I get it, though, as I only have 3/5 of the phrases from that tent. (I got rid of it before I investigated how the Fortune Teller tents work.) I just got Sinnoh Tent 1*! Ignite Memories posted:Cool. I didn't look forward to a bunch of tapus and celesteelas. I have encountered no Tapu nor any Celesteela. Maybe the server was taking pity on me because I just kind of threw together a team? My only accomplishment so far has been Thief-ing a Vaporeon's leftovers so that I could Headbutt it and make it faint; in three battles that's the only enemy Pokemon I've defeated

That sucks, I was enjoying that battle. My internet connection is usually stable, so it's pretty aggravating that it chose that moment to crap out... early evening peak traffic I guess. zonohedron posted:I just got Sinnoh Tent 1*! I have Sinnoh Tent 1* for the last few days, I've been trying to arrange a trade with Silver Falcon so they can get it as well, but we are finding it hard to arrange because we live in very different time zones I think. I just got the last phrase today though. One of my opponents had a tryhard team with a Celesteela, a Tapu and a Garchomp. I didn't win, didn't expect to because I'm just using my in-game team still with a bit of EV redistribution (but still crap natures and not very good moves)

Fortune Teller phrases are random (out of the 5 options for each), right? I feel like I've been waiting EONS to get "Please come" from my Sinnoh Tent 3. Its the only one I need before I can replace it. Also: Haha, "please come".

But what I don't know is whether the phrase for the next time you visit is "queued up" so you have to get it out the way, or whether instead it's just fixed for a given day so you could test to see what it is without saving and then skip that day if it's not what you want, to avoid spending the FC.

How do you change what facility you're offering to other people, anyway? I've got a couple of the fortune teller tents, though apparently not the desirable ones. But I'd at least like to offer people a 5 star dye house or lottery instead of a 1 star soda shop.
