I admire your concern with the PvP metagame. Stall is a strong style of play but there are many ways to beat it my friend. For example, Mew is an amazing stallbreaker it it runs this moveset: Taunt, Roost, Knock Off, Will-o-wisp. Many stall pokemon can't do any significant damage to this mew and you can proceed to break the team with the combination of Taunt + Knock Off. Togekiss is an amazing stallbreaker if it runs this moveset: Nasty Plot, Roost, Heal Bell, Air Slash. It can boost up to +6 and heal off any status moves that are thrown at it then proceed to flinch the opposing team with a +6 Air Slash. Hydreigon is an amazing stallbreaker if it runs this moveset: Taunt, Roost, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower. This pokemon can break strong offensive cores in Slowbro+Tangrowth+Arcanine / Blissey+Sableye / Blissey+Slowbro and etc. Gliscor is an amazing stallbreaker if it runs this moveset: Taunt, Toxic, Knock Off, Roost. With the combination of Taunt + Toxic and his immunity to status moveset, this pokemon can break defensive teams with ease. It can also use a Swords Dance moveset if that is your preference :) Azumarill can overwhelm stall when you run this moveset: Belly Drum, Knock Off, Aqua Jet, Play Rough. Once you use Belly Drum, Azumarill can sweep with ease by spamming Aqua Jet + Knock Off. If being slower than Venusaur and Milotic is your concern, you can use a Jolly Nature :D There are plenty of other viable stallbreakers in the game that I have not yet listed. If you want me to name some more let me know. Before criticizing a style of play you should consider all options of beating it. Good luck in your game and remember to always have fun my friend. :Cool:

don't need to record, Daeon...don't do this, omg. On the first tournament when we call chappy to be our referee and when we were ready to battle, he tooks us to the first sinnoh city, or a place without PC and then he asked us to put our 6 pokemons in the chat that he had created, he checked our pokes and he said to send a battle. just take the 2 players to a (different) place without PC, check their pokemons and say ok. And you say to the battlers to don't use escape rope..., after the first battle you take both to the last PC visited and when both are available to battle again, you take them back to the second round As I said in a previous post prior to this. We do not have the capability to spectate or check Pokemon like this, at this time. As an alternative, we are using recordings. At this moment in time, I am not a full Administrator. I am a Game Master, with Administrative responsibilities in regards to the Forums. I do not have the ability to do this, simply put. I am moderating this Tournament myself. There are no other Administrators who are available to help me, due to real life commitments and so on. The purpose of this tournament was to give the Players something back, whilst Thor, Shane and Red are unavailable. If I cannot give you PvP moves, I will give you a PvP event - rather than give you nothing. I hope this helps put this into perspective, and helps you understand the choices I have made and why I have made them. Do you think in the future of the game we'll be able to spectate battles so we can avoid this?

:y: :) Thank you for your input Hideliet. And thank you Daeon for listening to the feedback. :Angel:

Still better than excadrill/talonflamme . Perhaps :Angel:

"Why is it that so many people think . Oh this guy just brought the most epic pokes so he's going to win... Vs someone with a lot of knowlage in pvp. Js it takes more then just buying Pokemon to be good you have to show skill. Like I said b4 I know people who buy all their Pokemon and get trashed in pvp va people who don't. Money buys Pokemon not skill" I think this pretty much sums it up... A "veteran" with bad pokemon can beat a newbie with epic pokemon. Implementing an OT rule won't change the outcome of the tournament if that's what you guys are expecting. I would say the rule encourages more variety but this'll just be a tournament of Jirachi, Celebi, or Mew. Regardless, good luck people ^^

I agree...

Agreed

I think you're doing a fantastic job. This tournament has given me hope that PvP is not dead. :Grin: Hopefully next tournament doesn't have an OT rule. :Cool:

Don't jump to conclusions that quickly, staff-rewards won't be allowed. I wasn't being serious.

Well said. Good luck to you and your Talonflame bro. :Grin:

I applaud Daeon and other staff members that had anything to do with this. It's great to see that PvP is recognized to some extent, but I believe the OT rule is probably the biggest problem for this tournament.

.....bump

Giving my life for one.

Very helpful and accurate. Good job. ;) :y:

Server is down guys.

Agreed. I don't know about allowing someone to help code but I agree. :/

"Outrage will now also be disrupted if used on Fairy-type Pokémon, which are immune to it." Source: link What he's trying to say is that Outrage doesn't affect the Fairy types on the second turn but it allows the Garchomp to switch moves while avoiding confusion after it doesn't affect the fairy type. So it is indeed a bug.

I'd like an update on future plans as well. :Grin:

[Censored], relax nobody was running tyra+exca until revo did it and dominated the ladder with 1,3k+ wins in one season ofc its nothing new I'm pretty sure one player didn't innovate the ttar+excadrill combo xD

I couldn't have said it any better than this. 100% Agreed. PvP is lacking and has been lacking for quite some time now. PvE is perfect the way it is. Three regions with many quests and boss battles. PvP on the other hand, like you said, has many things not working. I believe in this game too but PvP has to be the main concern considering this is an MMO. Thank you for typing this up. I enjoyed reading something that makes perfect sense.

As I said on another thread, teams can be copied even without the spectate option. Pokemon is just the type of game where it is bound to happen. All you have to do is battle a good player and you can easily copy their teams. Almost every guild leaks the teams of players they have battles so you can easily copy it from your guild discord as well. Spectating gives everybody something to do in-game and I enjoy it more than battling at times. It would be beneficial to staff as well when they decide to do more tournaments so people aren't required to record their battles. There are also many guild PvP events that occur that would greatly appreciate a spectate feature so they can watch their guildmates battle. Streaming on Twitch is something not everybody can do. Barely anybody does it and it is just not a reliable way to watch other people battle. This feature wouldn't hurt the game at all and I have not seen anybody list a reason why it would. :y: Good suggestion.

adios
