Dusknoir and Bronzog as main trick roomer
Celebi as 3d trickroomer/support
Vaporeon Snorlax and Rypherior as sweeper?

On a "Pokemon that aren't actually Pokemon" contest, which one of these would win?
>>24750014
...what's with the Wingull?
>>24750016
It's one of the worst designs and looks nothing like a Pokemon, duh.
Everything else except Zygarde on that list honestly look like they would fit into Pokemon as it is now.
Unless that's your intention.
Fusion, because.
What the hell is wrong with me.
>>24749922
People still draw in this shitty style in 2014+?
>>24749926
What's so shitty about it?
>>24749925
Nothing, as long as you keep that trip removed. Fucking tripfag.
Now that the dust has settled...
Is ORAS worth getting or no? Tell me, /vp/.
It's the most relevant game right now since the developers fucked off XY by not making events available for it, so yeah, get it.
>>24749899
Never ask /vp/.
Right now: Yes
When the next game comes out: Maybe
Whats the least smogonfag team I can make for ubers and still be viable?
I fucking hate primal Groudon, darkrai and that faggot deer and want hard counters to them
Any tips /vp/?
pic unrelated
>primal groudon, SpD set
>xerneas, standard geomancy set
>darkrai
>normal arceus
>mega gengar
>mewtwo
There you go.
>>24749758
Alright, how about anything but that?
>>24749758
Mega Diancie and Mega Absol woth Play Rough hard-Counters Darkrai. Stuff with Magic Coat that resists Dark works well too, so Clefable, maybe?
Gliscor beats most Groudon variants.
Xerneas gets stopped by phasing, so just use a phazer with really good SpD and recovery. Good options are Zapdos, Lugia, Ho-Oh, or maybe specially defensive Arcanine, but I wouldn't bet on that one.
Mega Absol counter Mega Gengar quite well, so that's a viable option too.
Whoop de doo, Mega Absol also counters most mewtwo sets.
Definitely use Mega Absol. If you can go some Baton Pass bullshit to boost its Evasion or Attack or Speed or something, all the better. Smogon fucknig hates Evasion spam, so minimize-baton pass Drifblim could be right up your alley too.
ITT: Name your favorite animal, list the different pokemon based on it, and tell us how good you think they did it for each of them
Try to keep it civil
Tortoise
>Torterra
Cool, draws inspiration from the world tortoise, which i like and is overall more than just a tortoise
>Torkoal
Can't really see why they made a burning tortoise, don't know if there's any origin to that at all. However, as for Tortoises go, Torkoal look a lot more like one than Torterra does.
Blastoise and Carracosta are more Tutles than tortoises
Shameless selfbump
Bears, all bears
Ursaring nailed it
Beartic is cool, but competitively worthless
Pangoro is aite
>Poli family
I prefer Politoad over Wrath both because it's more usable, and because there's really no reason why they shouldn't let the frog mature in the first place
>Toxicroak
Pretty good design, looks more like your average poisonous frog too.
>Seismitoad
Bland
>Greninja

Ban Talonflame BAN TALONFLAME
Talonflame should be banned FOREVER! Talonflame is the worst, Talonflame is a murderer, Talonflame is evil.
Ban Talonflame, Ban Gale Wings, Ban Brave Bird BAN BAN BAN
Talonflame can outspeed SUCKER PUNCH and PRANKSTER with its devastating Brave Bird, it can even beat BLAZIKEN. You know something that used to beat Blaziken? Arceus-Ghost and Kyogre. But now Talonflame can ALSO COUNTER BLAZIKEN. And don't even come with "Rock attacks can't switch in" becAUSE BLAZIKEN NEVER USES ROCK ATTACKS
BAN TALONFLAME
REMOVE TALONFLAME
KILL TALONFLAME
TALONFLAME IS SHIT
TALONFLAME IS SHIT
TALONFLAME IS SHIT
TALONFLAME IS SHIT
TALONFLAME IS SHIT
We shouldn't let Talonflame ruin our OU metagame for us! No! OU should be totally playable, but with Talonflame it's really dumb and boring. Smogon banned Mega Lucario because Talonflame could beat it! Yeah, you heard it, Smogon is on Talonflame's side, so they banned something that it could beat instead of banning TALONFLAME ITSELF!
BAN TALONFLAME
BAN TALONFLAME

Fuck this gay hawk ruining the metagame and making everything unplayable because of its priority Brave Bird. We should not let Smogon fascists and commie Talonflame command the metagame! No, i want to use cool Pokémon like Conkeldurr and Pinsir, but Talonflame just ruins EVERYTHING with Brave Bird!
I think we should do a petition so Smogon and Game Freak ban Talonflame from everything.

Learn to copypasta right.
Anyway, this is /vp/'s Winterc Up team suggestion thread.
Suggest whatever you like: players, music, even tactics and so on. And if the fans actually do want to sack me like I've heard in the /vg/ thread, let me know. It'd be preferable that we can sort that out and get a new manager to replace me ASAP so we can still be in an Elite, since my co-manager can't into PES.
Also we're in need of testers so if you want to help, that would be nice.
Ban Talonflame

Did you ever post here /vp/? Tell me about it.
i did but only very casually so i can't say much about it
Indeed I did.
>>24749627
I tried the irc many years ago.
>"oh boy, can't wait to talk about Pokemon with other fans!"
>nobody talked about Pokemon
That was about it.
>no player/partner romance
Why did I buy this piece of shit?
>>24749271
because it's better than every mainline game

Don't bother
Name the strongest gym leader, lorewise. Pic related.
Koga was promoted to E4
Drayden wrestles dragons
I always liked Blaine and his back ground lore.
>>24749209
Wallace and iris are confirmed the best gym leaders
In this thread we are nice to each other and we discuss Pokemon in general.

Why is physical salamence so much more common? Special mence has access to heat wave, hits 2 opponents with flying stab and doesnt fear intimidate
it isn't
but physical salamence has more immediate power especially single-target and dragon dance/earthquake are also nice
>145 Atk vs 120 SpA
Physical is actually least common. Mixed is by far the most common right now, followed by special. I personally don't see the appeal of special, as you miss out on the firepower of an aerilate Double-Edge, but anyway, there's the facts.
There is now a move that changes the targeted Pokemon's ability to one of its other potential abilities.
How does the Metagame change?
it doesn't
>>24749069
It doesn't. At all. Worry Seed already does that but better and it sees ZERO competitive play.
>>24749095
Well I mean the change lasts for the whole match.
Clockwise or anti-clockwise?
>>24748990
>Anti-clockwise
>>24748995
Yes?
>>24749027
Counter clockwise you ninny
