Yeah too bad it's still a crap mon compared to it's class and HA Excadrill curb stomps it. But as long as you like it.

If it wasn't slow then it would be better in terms of battling, because right now its just a slow attacker that can take 1 hit sometimes.

Eelektross was such an amazing design IMO, unique concept of no weakness through ability, an amazing variety of moves which makes it quite useful in single player plays. Shame the stats don't compliment it for online play.

I still use it a lot, since it is my favourite

Hey everyone needs a free win every now and then

 

[Obelisk]

The design and speed were the big things for me. Cool design, but it looked a bit WTFish amd it needs to be faster to exploit its weakness.

It with an Assault Vest isn't too bad against Special Attackers or some Stallers.

That's the only way I can use it without it constantly dying easily or relying on my Baton Pass Scolipede (which does fix its Speed problem)

Yeah but even with the AV special it still has downfalls.

Either AV or it dies to all attackers, and I don't think it's fun seeing your favourite Pokemon die without doing anything .

I mean I could always do a Wild Charge + Leftovers combo if Eelektross can get boosted by Scolipede but then if Scolipede fails to give its stats then my Eelektross is stuck doing nothing.

You're preaching to a guy who can't run his favorite starters because they're only single type in a gen that expanded its type listing...

You're right, it's easier to preach to a wall.

Lycanroc is able to sweep out Team Skull.

 

[Com Fox]

Until I finish EV Training some Pokemon, I've been doing the Battle Tree with 3 Pokemon from my In-game team (Lycanroc, Primarina & Kommo-o)

Battle Tree is so much harder than the Battle Maison.

Normal formats are the same difficulty as the Super formats in the Battle Maison and from what I heard, in the Super formats in the Battle Tree, Mega Evolution is used (even unobtainable Mega Evolutions which IMO is cheating)

Totem Mimikyu made me cave and evolve my Litten. Now I have an ugly WWE lion.

You could've just used an Alolan Sandshrew.

Even if you're playing Sun, Sandshrew for Vulpix trade is relatively big.

 

[Lain]

I could've, but I'm lazy

I've done the Elite Four a few times, and I still struggle with the Flying types Mandibuzz, it's so annoyingly tanky with Roost and Toxic, I don't know how to beat it easily without Kommo-o Dragon Dance to assist.

Though a friend of mine struggled massively with the Fighting type Elite Four, he couldn't get past Bewear for awhile (told me that he took 100 tries to beat it).

I just used Pulverizing Pancake on the Bewear.

I just used Primarinas Oceanic Opretta XD.

That move surprised me, because Primarina actually sings a note at the start and end of it.

Surprised me too, that's why I named it Performapal from Yugioh .

By the way, have you beaten the game yet?

 

[Aphelion]

Turns out SOS chaining is an insanely good way to get good competitive pokemon without needing to get to level 100 and using hyper training. I just found a lurantis with 4 perfect ivs, one 30 iv and one at around 25. Even when I was in to breeding it was hard to get a pokemon that good

Perhaps I was just lucky though.

I indeed have. I've been soft resetting for Adamant Buzzwole.

I've taken to calling them swolebugs.

I can't find a good way to trigger SOS Chaining, Adrenaline Orb doesn't work as well as I thought, and I've been using False Swipe to force 1 HP.

Sure! Let me just get the second Buzzwole first.

I just codenamed the Ultra Beasts: UB-0_(number) _(letter in order in which I caught the same UB)

I'm fine with any nature myself as long as it doesn't negative the stat I want.

That's interesting. My method was turn off battle animations and set text speed to fast for maximum efficiency, then use an Adrenalin orb and false swipe, and if he doesn't summon anything use an antidote. It doesn't use up the antidote if your not poisoned and it does use up your turn. I have had about a 75% chance of the Pokemon summoning a friend, so it hasn't been too bad.

Well, the UBs are eligible for VGC. Better safe than sorry.

I'm rather flexible with what I want with my Pokemon . My Primarina actually has an Adamant nature

Oh well, at least I can use Aqua Jet more efficiently when I get close kills

I think Primarina's Sp. Atk is about double its Atk.

 

[Com Fox]

I think Primarina's Sp. Atk is about double its Atk.

No 20 Base short from it being doubled.

Honestly, I think its fine like this since Aqua Jet is a priority move. Boosted, Aqua Jet can counter the nerfed Special Attack.
