  1. Hey, as for Charizard X, there are a lot of ways for your team to counter it. First off is Azumarill, Azumarill resists both of Char X's STAB Moves, be sure to watch out for Thunder Punch Variants. Next up is Zapdos, you can either cripple it with Rocky Helmet Damage and possible paralyzing it by Static or spam roost while Char X is losing health from Rocky Helmet, and lastly, Stealth Rock, it does 50% for a normal Charizard while does 25% on Charizard X, and that's a decent damage. 

     

    Calculations:

    +1 252 Atk Charizard Thunder Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 220-260 (64.3 - 76%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

    +1 252 Atk Charizard Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zapdos: 175-207 (45.5 - 53.9%) -- 2.3% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

     

    So that's all, Hope I Helped :)

  2. Hey, Interesting Team, before I suggest some changes of the teammates, I would mention some changes in their sets first. So let's start....


    First off, I would suggest to change Tangrowth's set to a defensive one, or, invest 128 defense ev's in order to avoid the possible 2HKO of an Adamant Mega Swampert after damage from Stealth Rocks.
    Calculations:

    252+ Atk Swampert-Mega Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tangrowth: 166-196 (41 - 48.5%) -- 74.2% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
    252+ Atk Swampert-Mega Ice Punch vs. 252 HP / 128 Def Tangrowth: 148-176 (36.6 - 43.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock

    Next up, is the change of the moveset of Metagross, your teams lacks priority moves (even though Priorities aren't necessary, they can be useful in some situations) I would replace hammer arm/ ice punch to bullet punch, as Bullet Punch is an option to allow Mega Metagross to pick off weakened Pokemon, however, the loss of a coverage move is often not much worth it.

    That's all for the changes in terms of sets.

    Next up, is changing a teammate, which is Garchomp, I would suggest to replace Garchomp into a Wallbreaker, Honorable Mentions of that is, Azumarill. The Banded, or the Choice Band Set, any could work from one of those sets. It can also support Metagross with Dark Resist and decent bulk.

    Feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes.

    Hope I Helped 🙂

  3. Hey, interesting team, I would change some abilities, movesets, and items in here:

     

    Volcarona:

    Leftovers > Choice Scarf

    Would be better since running Quiver Dance with Choice Scarf is basically useless, and would add longevity to Volcarona.

     

    Clefable:

    Thunderbolt > Thunder Wave

    Flamethrower > Calm Mind

    This is a better Calm Mind Set.

     

    Alakazam:

    Magic Guard > Inner Focus

    Life Orb > Twisted Spoon

    Recover/ Focus Blast > Thunder Wave

    Magic Guard would be better since it prevents you from taking hazard and status damage. This would also make Life Orb better, since you prevent recoil damage from it thanks to Magic Guard. Recover would be a great pair with Magic Guard to extend the longevity of Alakazam while setting up Calm Mind. And finally Focus Blast is also a choice to hit Dark Types and has a great offensive coverage.

     

    And also I noticed you don't have a mega pokemon, I think it would be better to get Mega Alakazam with the same set i've said. (Except for the Life Orb Item, since Alakazite will be your item in order to Mega Evolve)

     

    If you have further questions about the Competitve side of Pokemon, contact me on my Discord: Greninja#3353 or PM me in here.

    Hope It Helps :classic_smile:

     

     

  4. +1, I want Greninja to be Unbanned, however unbanning it doesn't mean it's not dangerous, but it really is. Here are my opinions for Greninja: 

     

    PROS:

    - Can dodge/resist super effective/dangerous moves with Protean

    - Hits hard with the help of stab moves

    - Fast and a very good suicide lead

    - Very wide movepool

    - Most of the time Unpredictable

     

    CONS:

    - Very fragile with -def or -spdef nature since mostly everyone uses mixed Greninja

    - Also I think life orb is the most popular item with it and reduces 10% hp each time it attacks and thus making it more fragile.

    - There are way more faster Pokemon than it, and can kill it due to its low bulk

    - Using a choice item? No problem, if youre a good player you can easily scout it and most of these sets are confident in front of faster pokemon than Greninja and obviously, its scarfed. If not then it maybe has a strategy to do. Also being choice locked is actually bad when youre in front of Balanced Teams or Stall Teams. And if youre having a hard time with a choice locked Greninja, you can remove that Choice Item with Knock Off and other moves that removes items.

    - Being an Unpredictable Pokemon can be countered when you scout moves, by switching or using protect. However, sometimes it can be useless as 4 moves can destroy an entire team.

     

    As I said these are just my opinions.

  5. I noticed on battles, that status moves such as Toxic shows "POISON Failed to have any effect" when it misses, same to other status moves. And, it also shows "POISON Failed to have any effect" when it's used to a Pokemon Immune to it such as Poison Types (except for Steel types which shows "It's completely Ineffective!") this is also the same to other status moves such as Thunder Wave to Electric Types which also shows "PARALYZE Failed to have any effect".

     

    So my suggestion is, to change their battle logs to avoid confusion, here is an example:

     

    When it's used to a Pokemon Immune to it:

    Before:

    Rotom-Wash used Will-O-Wisp (on a Fire type, which is immune to it)

    "BURN Failed to have any effect"

     

    After:

    Rotom-Wash used Will-O-Wisp (on a Fire type, which is immune to it)

    "It's completely Ineffective!"

     

    Before:

    Chansey used Toxic (on a Poison type which is immune to it)

    "POISON Failed to have any effect"

     

    After:

    Chansey used Toxic (on a Poison type which is immune to it)

    "It's completely Ineffective!"

     

    So basically: Immune = "It's completely Ineffective!" this actually confused me before because I thought it was missing, until I discovered it's immune to it, this will help new players to know that its immune to it. Same to other moves when its used to a Pokemon which is immune to it.


    When it misses:

    Before:

    Clefable used Thunder Wave (Then it misses)

    "PARALYZE Failed to have any effect"

     

    After:
    Clefable used Thunder Wave (Then it misses)

    "The attack misses"

     

    Before:

    Tangrowth used Sleep Powder (Then it misses)

    "SLEEP Failed to have any effect"

     

    After:

    Tangrowth used Sleep Powder (Then it misses)

    "The attack misses"

     

    So basically: When it misses = "The attack misses" same to other moves when it misses, so it can be more understandable.

    Spoiler

    How to get the Mega Stone:

    Spoiler

    1. You will need to get a Bulbasaur of your OT which has the right Nature and has decent IVs (91+) in any stats.

    The Natures are: Modest, Rash, Bold, or Calm

     

    2. After catching, you will need to train the Bulbasaur to Level 100 with fully trained evs (510 evs)

     

    3. After training the Bulbasaur, go back to Oak in his lab and he will battle you, so make sure to prepare.

    Oaks Team:

    1st Pokemon: Blastoise

    2nd Pokemon: Venusaur

    3rd Pokemon: Mega Charizard Y

     

    4. After beating him, he will give you the Venusaurite.

     

     

    Pros:

    Spoiler

    - Great bulk and special attack.

    - Thick fat ability removes 2 weaknesses.

    - Immune to Spore, Leech Seed and Toxic, which are common status moves on most teams.

    - Has a recovery move.

     

    Cons:

    Spoiler

    - Needs to gain momentum to mega evolve, since you want the thick fat ability, and don't want to be hit by ice and fire moves without mega evolution.

    - Limited recovery, and that is Synthesis, which has only 8 PP.

    - Weak to flying and psychic moves.

     

    Best Sets:

    Spoiler

    Offensive Set:

    Venusaur @ Venusaurite
    Ability: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 200 Spe/ 56 HP/ 252 Spatk
    Timid/Modest Nature
    - Giga Drain
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Hidden Power Fire
    - Synthesis

     

    Defensive Set:

    Venusaur @ Venusaurite
    Ability: Chlorophyll
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def (If Bold)/ 252 Spdef (If Calm)/ 6 Spe
    Calm/Bold Nature
    - Giga Drain
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Synthesis
    - Hidden Power Fire

     

    Is the original form still usable?

    Spoiler

    Yes, Non-mega Venusaur can be used as a chlorophyll sweeper.

     

    Conclusion:

    Spoiler

    Mega Venusaur is such a good tank thanks to its typing, as it not only blesses it with a Toxic immunity but also grants it resistances to Fighting-, Water-, Electric-, Grass-, and Fairy-type moves, and Thick Fat rids it of its Fire and Ice weaknesses. This, combined with its respectable 80 / 123 / 120 bulk, lets it easily wall some big names in the metagame, including Keldeo, Azumarill, Weavile, and Landorus. Its movepool is also good, with useful tools like Knock Off, Synthesis, Sleep Powder, and Leech Seed, as well as more offensive options like Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Hidden Power Fire, and Earthquake to avoid being too passive.

     

    Sadly, Mega Venusaur has plenty of flaws keeping it at bay. Much like most other Mega Evolutions, Venusaur needs to find the opportunity to Mega Evolve, but this weighs especially against Mega Venusaur due to its multiple weaknesses and lower defenses before Mega Evolving. Even after Mega Evolving, Mega Venusaur still has to deal with its flawed recovery, since Synthesis is drastically nerfed when in the rain or sand and Leech Seed is a slow process, meaning its staying power is limited. It's also relatively weak to status, as burn (can be annoying if you run some phyiscal attacks with it) and paralysis are carried on a wide variety of Pokemon it checks. Finally, its defensive set is very passive.

     

     

    Mega Charizard Y

    Mega Charizard Y - Pokémon Wiki - Neoseeker

     

    Spoiler

    How to get the Mega Stone:

    Spoiler

    1. You will need to get a Charmander of your OT which has the right Nature and has decent IVs (91+) in any stats.

    The Nature is: Timid

     

    2. After catching, you will need to train the Charmander to Level 100 with fully trained evs (510 evs)

     

    3. After training the Charrmander, go back to Oak in his lab and he will battle you, so make sure to prepare.

    Oaks Team:

    1st Pokemon: Venusaur

    2nd Pokemon: Charizard

    3rd Pokemon: Mega Blastoise

     

    4. After beating him, he will give you the Charizardite Y

     

    Pros:

    Spoiler

    - Has the ability "Drought" to make Fire-type moves hit hard and it temporarily removes Water weakness

    - Can wallbreak teams fairly easily with one of the highest Special Attack stats in the tier. 

    - Has good coverage options in Solar Beam and Focus Blast.

    - Has a recovery move (Roost)

     

    Cons:

    Spoiler

    - Has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, thus 50% health loss upon switching in with stealth rock around.

    - Lacks a Special Attack-boosting move.

    - Drought is temporary and will nerf any Water-types on your team.

    - Easily revenge killed due to its relatively average Speed stat and low defense stat.

     

    Best set:

    Spoiler

    Charizard @ Charizardite Y
    Ability: Blaze
    EVs: 252 SpA / 5 Def / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Fire Blast/Flamethrower
    - Solar Beam
    - Focus Blast
    - Roost

     

    Is the original form still usable?

    Spoiler

    Yes, you can use Solar Power Charizard with specs or scarf as a Sun Sweeper, but the Mega Form is always better.

     

    Conclusion:

    Spoiler

    Mega Charizard Y is quite a threat to face in battle. Thanks to Drought, Mega Charizard Y has an intimidating offensive presence, especially when backed by a base 159 Special Attack and Fire Blast; even most Pokemon that resist Fire-type moves will lose large chunks of their health. Drought also has the benefit of reducing the power of Water-type moves, thus temporarily removing its Water weakness and causing Pokemon that would normally threaten Mega Charizard Y, such as Keldeo, Azumarill, and Manaphy, to miss out on would-be OHKOs. Solar Beam and Focus Blast are great coverage moves, threatening the Water- and Rock-types that would threaten Mega Charizard Y, respectively.

     

    Mega Charizard Y is not without its faults, though. First, it has a 4x Stealth Rock weakness to constantly worry about, meaning entry hazard removal support is absolutely mandatory. Second, it lacks a move to boost its Special Attack, so if it can't 2HKO a wall that has recovery, it'll get stalled out. And third, Drought is temporary, which means it'll lose its use for Solar Beam, its Fire-type moves will see a noticeable drop in power, and it'll be weak to Water-type moves again after sun runs out. So overall, Mega Charizard Y is an excellent Wallbreaker.

     

     

    Mega Charizard X

    Spoiler

    How to get the Mega Stone:

    Spoiler

    1. Go to Cinnabar Island, then go to the Cinnabar Lab then enter Room 3.

    2. Talk to Rual, He will ask you to show him a fire type pokemon that knows a flying type move and is at level 60.

    3.  Then he will ask again to show  a Flying type pokemon that knows both a Dragon type, and a Fire type move, This pokemon must also have atleast 60 IVs totaled between Atk, Def, Speed and Spatk.

    4. Then, he will ask for a Dragon type Pokemon that is your OT at level 100 with over 25 ivs in either atk or spatk with 252 evs trained in either atk or spatk with both the Dragon Dance move, and any Fire type move.

    5. Then Talk to him, and then you will battle with him, after winning, he will give you the Charizardite X.

     

    Pros:

    Spoiler

    - One of the most powerful Dragon Dance and Swords Dance sweepers.

    - A great ability, Tough Claws, makes it a very powerful sweeper.

    - Good typing and coverage

    - Has a recovery move (Roost)

    - Immune to burns

     

    Cons:

    Spoiler

    - A bit risky to mega evolve, since it changes its typing. And thus it changes its weaknesses and resistances.

    - Weak to stealth rock.

     

    Best sets:

    Spoiler

    Dragon Dance Set:

    Charizard @ Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
    Jolly/Adamant Nature
    - Dragon Dance
    - Flare Blitz
    - Dragon Claw
    - Roost

     

    Swords Dance Set:

    Charizard @ Charizardite X
    Ability: Blaze
    EVs: 6 Def / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
    Adamant/Jolly Nature
    - Swords Dance
    - Roost
    - Flare Blitz
    - Dragon Claw

     

    Is the original form still usable?

    Spoiler

    Yes, you can use Solar Power Charizard with specs or scarf as a Sun Sweeper, but the Mega Form is always better.

     

    Conclusion:

    Spoiler

    Mega Charizard X has so much to offer; nearly perfect neutral coverage in its dual STAB types; setup moves in Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, and Tailwind; recovery in Roost; and an immunity to burns. Its stats are also very good, with base 130 Attack and base 100 Speed to sweep teams after a boost and 78 / 111 / 85 bulk to give it some setup opportunities. While it's true that Mega Evolutions can't hold items, Tough Claws still gives it a huge power boost. So overall, Mega Charizard X is a powerful sweeper

    Spoiler

    How to get the Mega Stone:

    Spoiler

    1. You will need to get a Squritle of your OT which has the right Nature and has decent IVs (91+) in any stats.

    The Natures are: Timid, Modest, Bold, or Calm

     

    2. After catching, you will need to train the Squirtle to Level 100 with fully trained evs (510 evs)

     

    3. After training the Squirtle, go back to Oak in his lab and he will battle you, so make sure to prepare.

    Oaks Team:

    1st Pokemon: Charziard

    2nd Pokemon: Blastoise

    3rd Pokemon: Mega Venusaur

     

    4. After beating him, he will give you the Blastoinisite.

     

    Pros:

    Spoiler

    - Mega Launcher makes moves like Dark Pulse, Aura Sphere, and Water Pulse very powerful.

    - Mega Launcher Dark Pulse gives it a niche as a spinner that can hit Ghost-types super effectively.

    - Has well-rounded offenses and defenses.

    - Has a decent typing.

     

     

    Cons:

    Spoiler

    - Lacks Recovery

    - Lacks Speed

     

    Best Sets:

    Spoiler

    All-Out Attacker Set:

    Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
    Ability: Rain Dish
    EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
    Modest Nature
    - Water Pulse
    - Dark Pulse
    - Aura Sphere
    - Ice Beam/ Dragon Pulse

     

    Offensive Spinner Set:

    Blastoise @ Blastoisinite
    Ability: Rain Dish
    EVs: 184 HP / 252 SpA / 72 Spe
    Modest Nature
    - Rapid Spin
    - Water Pulse/Scald
    - Dark Pulse
    - Ice Beam/ Dragon Pulse

     

     

    Is the original form still usable?

    Spoiler

    Yes, Blastoise can also be used as a Rapid Spinner if you already have a mega in your team. So it's always better to use Mega Blastoise.

     

    Conclusion:

    Spoiler

    Mega Blastoise is an interesting case, as it seems to have the makings of a truly good spinner. Between its great base 135 Special Attack and rather impressive 79 / 120 / 115 bulk, it's quite clear that it can take a hit and retaliate hard. Sadly, the problem with using it is its complete lack recovery. It can take hits pretty well, but having no form of recovery is a painful sight, especially when looking at those solid defenses. Its vulnerability to burns and Toxic don't help the cause either, and being vulnerable to every hazard is even worse. So overall Mega Blastoise is a good Special Attacker and a Rapid Spinner.

  7. Enjoyment: 6/10

    I enjoyed the event quite a bit, because of its nice mapping, graphics, and art. But the server crashes made the event a bit annyoing.

     

    Quest Difficulty: Medium

    The Quest was "Medium" for me since some parts are easy then it's getting more difficult as you progress through the quest, especially the Nidoqueen Rescue, and the Dragon's Neck Quest.

     

    Story/Lore perspective: 7/10

    The story was well written, but, I think it could have more twists to make the event more exciting and fun.

     

    Effort/Reward Ratio: 6/10

    Rewards were decent, but I suggest to make the Effort and Reward ratio more balanced.
