Wts this epic max speed guts Conkeldurr. Start bid: 750k Insta: 1,5M Min raise between bids: 100k Auction will end 3 days after someone started it. I have NO right to cancel the auction and you have NO right to cancel your offer.

In theory, that would also prevent them from holding auctions with that ridiculous rule or even keep them away from doing any auctions (of course unless they would eventually start selling their mons for lower than they have imagined which would sort of mean they have adjusted)

Since nothing will be changed about this (as usually), there is actually a pretty simple sollution to it, which is; to boycott such sellers and their auctions. Of course, in order to make this work, we all should be united and everyone should keep away from such people and their "auctions". A lot of people are already doing it (including myself), but i'm certainly aware it's nearly impossible to achieve this as there will always be that person that won't care or that will want to make profit out of the situation (if others are already not participating). One other thing. Except the proposal of others for the auctioneer to use the lowest price he wants to get for the mon as a start bid, i'd also add that those kind of people who want to cancel auctions just because the final price hasn't met their expectations, shouldn't even lead an auction in the first place, then just put an insta price for the poke and regularly sell it if someone offered that much

I just can't believe how people stubbornly keep repeating "Use unaware cm clef" when it's clearly NOT A COUNTER for manaphy in rain. 252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Clefable in Rain: 202-238 (51.2 - 60.4%) -- 91.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery Or you want to pray that both times it gets the lower roll while it can still switch out and easily take it down the next time? (especially if hazards are present) Or is it expected that we actually run calm? (LOL)

Well yeah. It is a MMO game and therefore it should be grindy (personally after some time i started doing the same thing you do, farming only low tier mons, tier 7 at most and that happens like once or twice during a year), but definitely not as much as it is right now as that's what's actually repelling both the vets and the newbies to continue playing it. For most of the time, farming in general is not really grateful (looking at the time invested into it compared with the outcome), so with adding more and more relevant stuff that were missing before, it becomes harder for the vets like me to keep up with the game, whereas at the same time the game doesn't encourage newbies to even enter the fight with the vets, as there's potentially too much relevant stuff that needs to be farmed or grinded for, while the economy is ridiculous right now (not even epic mons going for 5-10M just because they're top meta or good for the meta, but rare). Furthermore, a newbie usually doesn't have the proper knowledge (unless they have previous experience, like from showdown) to build the right team and often even the best players need to test their teams to see whether they're actually usable for laddering or not. That being said, a newbie will need to invest tons of time/money for mons that in the end will actually prove not to be viable, or at least not with the other mons he has gathered. By this point, you can already see how discouraging this for someone to continue is (if he wants to enter competitive pvp). In my opinion, everyone should be able to use mons like h.a hp fire serperior that has enough spd ivs to outspeed gengar if they feel like, but often you won't even find anyone selling them and if they do, be sure they'll abuse the laws of supply and demand at most, often even writing they can cancel the auction if it doesn't reach 10m which is also ridiculous and needs to be changed as that's actually not how auctions in real life go/work. Personally i'd implement something like nature rerolls for all mons, which would cost around 1m or idk how much pvp coins. That would still make the game grindy (not in a sick way tho), but also give everyone a chance to have epic/godly high tier mons. I'm aware that all i have written now has gone too much off topic, but i couldn't help myself and felt the urge to write it. If the goal of the game developers is to amass new players and encourage them to keep playing the game (while also preserving the interest of vets to continue playing it as well instead of making them quit) then imo the strategy of developing the game is going towards the wrong direction (which we can from present evidence witness, as the amount of active people in both servers is constantly dropping) and some radical changes should seriously be considered to be made

I haven't read all the comments (as there are obviously too many of them), but the thing is, not that we only don't have the tools to adequately deal with manaphy (tons of good legendaries and all megas), the resources we have to deal with it are very limited. Let's say I want to use a serperior or latios to check it. For serperior i need to buy a black ms, grind for hours to get a h.a one which then turns out to be trash or decent at best. Let's say it's actually epic, still useless as it didn't receive hp fire or ground. For the other you need to fill the whole pokedex just to potentially get trash ivs again and then waste tons of money for reroll tickets which still doesn't guarantee it will be properly usable. That being said, in such a slow meta which lacks good scarfers and megas, base 100 speed for a really bulky and threatening mon is already too much. Not to mention, they added protean greninja out of nowhere while half of the legendaries from BW that were actually OU during that period are still missing in PRO (a quick reminder, manaphy was in ubers during BW). I haven't played the game for like half a year, yet surprisingly, even tho protean greninja has a few real counters (with which all it can actually deal depending on the coverage it's carrying) it dropped in usage, most likely just because for most of the people playing PRO conkeldurr being one of the most used mons that has access to a strong mach punch is actually a major dealbreaker (or for similar reasons). They haven't thought about the impact greninja would have for the meta then (didn't even want to hear about it being banned) and obviously they haven't learned from their old mistakes. As said previously, it is just pure luck people actually don't know how to team build about greninja properly, so it's not that threatening and it's dropping more and more. Same thing was happening with speed boost blaziken and dugtrio until people actually started abusing them more and more and until they nerfed talonflame. By this point i'm completely aware that whoever picks what the next legendary that will enter pvp will be has either no clue about the PRO pvp scene or just doesn't care about it at all

Want to sell this nice max speed jolly sand rush exca. The auction will start once someone offers the start bid and will last for 3 days. In case I can't be around at the time when the auction was started, I will delay the end of the auction for a few hours when I can come and I will announce that in the comments. The start bid is 600k, insta 1,8m. Minimal bid increment is 100k. NOTE: In case the forums meanwhile go down for some reason, I will continue the auction counting the time left once they are brought up again, so in other words, in that case I will ignore the time that has passed while the forum was down.
