4-way battle royal is a stupid concept.

>>26754232

if it's anything like current FFAs people will just all spam area moves though
>>26754252
Pretty much this
>>26754232
Every big "hits all three other mons" move has at least one pretty common clear counter.
If the format becomes somewhat competitive and everybody start running EQ spammer, people will just start playing more flying/levitate mons up to the point where EQ becomes unviable.
That's how metagames work.
>Mega Sceptile used Leaf Storm
>>26754306
It just seems like something that would be a joke battle mode like inverse, doubles, and rotation battles and not taken seriously
>>26754303
This

Well, in that case, nobody gives a shit
>>26754324

>>26754355
VGC is a complete joke I hope you don't take that shit seriously
>>26754232
I like how you assume spread moves will work the same as they do in double/triples. How many opponents does earthquake hit in rotation battles?
Stop assuming shit, you sperg
>>26754232
RISE OF QUAGSIRE
earthquake, Surf, protect, recover
Unaware
leftovers
252 Hp, 252 defense, 4 defense
>>26754433
>Bulbasaur used vine whip
>>26754377
Smogon ain't much better bud.
>>26754455
It's not but at least it uses singles instead of a meme format like doubles
>>26754232
>full team of Electrodes
>spam Explosion
>win the game with a billion points while others don't get to score anything
>>26754453
>its only weakness
>>26754468
>Unknown used Hidden Power grass
>>26754465
>Anon sends out Gengar!
>>26754303
yep.... there is no reason that this won't happen
>>26754462
>implying singles is superior to doubles
>implying singles is more fun than doubles
Actually shit taste man.
>>26754476
>Poochyena used Bite
>>26754303
>>26754483
>Someone switches in their gengar to avoid Explosion
>I have my Zebstrika use Ion Deluge
>>26754490
It really is no fun when VGC is just Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre + two others.
>>26754465
Actually you would always lose, it's just that you would ruin the fun because all of your battles would end in 4 turns

>>26754535
Nice 404
>>26754252
I think the implication of the design on the floor is that you have one available target, and one one person has you as an available target, and its a race to see who can KO someone first.
>>26754549
it was a joke, fampai
>>26754508
Then play doubles OU instead of VGC
>>26754232
Yeah, because there's absolutely nothing with a resistance/immunity to Ground. Besides, I feel like bulky Grass-types are going to be fairly common in this format.
>Resistance to Earthquake
>Resistance to Discharge
>Resistance to Surf
Rev up those Regenerator Assault Vest Tangrowth.
>>26754577
>Air Balloon/Shuca Berry Heatran with Lava Plume
>>26754576
The conversation was about VGC though
>>26754508
Well I only ever play randoms online, but I have a lot more fun in doubles, the teams are a lot more variable there.
>>26754595
You started out by shitting on doubles
>>26754577
>Volcarona used Overheat
>>26754377
LOL how dare you take VGC seriously? It's like, do any other formats offer large scholarships and/or merch prizes other than VGC? No, so why the fuck would you think VGC is important?
does showdown have a royale beta up yet?

>Local anon makes an amazing discovery: Pokemon have weaknesses
>>26754623
Calm your autism child you aren't going to get a scholarship to the local community college with that type of grammar.
>>26754556
>I didn't watch the direct
>>26754324
very stealthy bait
>>26754462
retarded detected
>>26754577
There'll probably be a lot of ice type moves for ground types and their flying/grass counters
>implying I won't run sheer cold
>>26754232

>>26754232
