I'm trying to get back into competitive battling as the new games have gotten me back into the game. I don't have too many teams, so what are some good combinations, any tips, move sets, abilities?
Goodra @ assault vest
Male
Rain Dance
Dragon Tail
Fire Move
Whatever.
Set up rocks before you bring out the big guy and tail enemies into hazard damage while getting boosts from the rain.
What meta, anon?

Smogon rules I suppose

If they're gonna add newer mons at least add something like Absol or Crawdaunt

what are you fucking talking about
Ah, the "mixing up pokemon generations on purpose" meme
Good one OP! Sure got me with this fresh one :^)

Skarmory is from Gen 2
So, now that owl is real, Owlfags win, and Roothootfags btfo, there's literally nothing that can stop the level of backpedaling that Denialfags are doing.
>Denialfags said it'd be an owl
>They actually said crow
>M-Muh Roothoot!
>Roothootfags ARE Owlfags, they're the same!
>Trademarks!
Seriously, stop. Owlfags aren't Roothootfags, you got btfo, and no amount of ignorance can save you....

Can you imagine someone visiting /vp/ for the first time and seeing this thread first. What on earth would they even think was happening.
That's nice, but let's discuss how absolutely and utterly wrong Zodiacfags are. Every argument they have made has been completely shredded, it is completely disproven now, I don't know why they still exist.
>>26422549
Zodiacfags are btfo too, but don't derail the thread! REEEEEEEE!!!!
From the immensely popular game franchise, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are obviously attempting to replicate the success of 2011's Black and White, which took a well-known brand with no special narrative and crafted a beautiful story around it. Unfortunately, it cannot duplicate that formula very well, and despite fleeting moments of entertainment, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire come across as a playing experience that doesn’t have much to offer – even for kids.
It lacks the creative vision of Pokémon Platinum, and the artistic confidence of the stridently...

See, it's a clever and hilarious joke because OP said pokémon, and then he posted something that's not a pokémon. So it's like, ironic or something.
>>26422349
I like Samurott too
>>26422349
Personally I prefer Digimon. MegaBlazikenmon is awesome.

SNEAKY PEBBELS ON SUICIDE WATCH
Truly, competitive Pokemon would be thrown into an everlasting vicious circle of stall coonery. Life is we know it would end.

Zygarde is involved
Digimon are a hell of a lot stronger than Pokémon, though. Strongest Pokémon vs. strongest Digimon and the Pokémon do not stand even a tiny chance. I don't see why it matters, though, I much prefer Pokémon and don't feel like it needs to somehow complete with higher powered stuff. It's the same shit as other video games vs. comics. Yes, comic characters are more powerful, why does this matter? I for one don't want everything to be on a ridiculously high power level.
Whats up with Shota's eyes?
And whys his name shota?
>>26422142
Well Shōta means "to soar", not sure why he would have this name but it could be a reference to the Soar mechanic in ORAS.
He's got Bette Davis eyes
>>26422142
His name is shota because he is a shota, and those are his bedroom eyes for seducing moms, older sisters, teachers and nurses.

Pic related: "Over 300 million years ago, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. It has been modified by Team Plasma."
It was probably a Bug/Rock type before they modified it. I want to see the primordial bug that lays dormant underneath the cold iron.
>>26422033
It's too bad they came up with this after they established Mega Aerodactyl is how Aerodacty looked in prehistoric times
There's a ton of gameplay/lore conflict problems with giving genesect primal reversion. A shit ton of its moves (mostly TMs) it learns specifically because of its cannon which its primal form doesn't have.
>thunderbolt
>ice beam
>flamethrower
>flash cannon
>techno blast
>>26422057
The dex says they *modified/upgraded* the cannon on its back, so it could still have had that cannon in its original state, albeit weaker.
I suppose it doesn't make sense for it to gain stat points since the genesect of today is supposed to be an upgrade, but maybe the primal form could be a physical attacker.
What would your team be if you only used your favorite Pokemon, regardless of their competitive viability?

Scraggy would be my starter.
People already have ideas on how to fix Ice, you can talk about that just fine.
What about Rock? Rock types routinely get dicked over by being quad weak to attacks by being part Ground (which overall is better), so how do we deal with that?
Grass Types? I don't even know where to begin to make them less fucked in the meta.
Psychic type? It's been indirectly nerfed by the likes of Dark (which also is a bit fucked) and Fairy, and risks being made redundant.
>>26421916
You can't fix what isn't broken.
bug probably needs to be fixed more. I'd say reverse the fairy relationship so it resists it instead of the other way around and then get rid of another types resistance to it or something

There is an underlying logic with the move Shell Smash, which is that it implies the user has a sizable armored shell to protect itself. Because its shell gets smashed when it uses the move, its defenses drop. At the same time, there's no shell to weigh it down anymore, so it becomes more nimble and agile, raising its speed and attack stats.
Samurott does not make sense for this. It barely has any shell on its body at all, and smashing the little shell it does have would not make a great deal of difference.
I know it doesn't make sense for Huntail and...

Just give it some other type of stat boosting move
>>26421902
Samurott should getretconned
>>26421902
but it gets shell armor, obviously it's shell is big enough
