>the girl on the far right
Is this what love is like?
So is it ROYAL or ROYALE?
Seems that people can't read for shit
>>26734045
god help the meta that will eventually and inevitably stem from this
>>26734132
>everyone sees you bought a pokemon with EQ, surf or some other field move
>you get ganged up on immediately
This could be really fun.
Earthquake, Dazzling Gleam, Surf
Eelektross.
Weak to nothing, and will dodge Earthquake. Can use Coil to buff himself massively.
In this mode, defensive buffs are super strong since going on the offensive won't compensate for the fact you're still going to be at risk.
Then you just wait for people to kill eachother and then sweep whoever is left.

>everybody uses Flygon because it's immune to or resists every move that hits everywhere except Surf
I wonder if they'll implement handicap mechanics. Maybe a Pokemon that attacks another Pokemon leaves itself open to more damage from another attacking Pokemon the same turn? Maybe the attacked Pokemon receives less damage from consecutive attacks or diminishing returns on the same turn? Might be interesting, but if I play this mode with any of my friends they're definitely going to gang up on me first.

>ganging up on EQ
What you should do is bring is a -1 priority move or a slow pokemon and killsteal one of the other guys.
I would tell you to learn your typings, but GF want to make the game suitable for babbys so you'll be okay :^)

That's why we have Pokemon Showdown!
>Choice scarf Explosion Electrode x3
I want to see 4 people protecting
So what's gonna happen when somebody tries to stall here? Is everybody gonna start beating the fuck out of Chansey the second they see it or are they just gonna ignore it entirely?
Just watch DuncanKneeDeep's FFA vids
>SM won't have new battle mechanics!
Six point five fags btfo AGAIN.
>>26734045
This will be cancer in competitive scenes
>>26734045
So everybody against everybody? Protect the shit out of it and hope you don't get focused. A bulky damage dealer should work.
>>26734045
they will
It's over right?
Stall is dead.
>>26734045
Quick! Think of some scenarios. Like a fuckign troll with follow me
Just imagine an epic battle between four shuckles.
Free-for-all threads WHEN?
Why doesn't /vp/ do this!
>>26734295
Icy Wind new meta!?
>>26734866
because the games aren't out yet.
If you want to get good at Battle Royale ask the guy who INVENTED it for tips ;)
