Sorry for derailing your thread, Matt. Eh, not really :^)

Or you could be like me and carry two Mega stones and wait until you can read your opponent's strategy, but that's better in theory than in practice since at the end of the day you're still wasting at least one item slot. edit Uh, Vanilla Altaria's kind of immune to Toxic Spikes under most conditions, but you get where I'm going with this.

"the best" type in the game depends on your play style, Dragon/Fairy's kind of useless if your opponent doesn't have any Dragons themselves or your own team is full of Steels, but being immune to one of your own types and super effective on the other is definitely very . . . interesting.
If you use your items wisely you may not even need a Mega Stone to avoid taking damage from dragon, since you could trick your opponents into thinking you do have one so it's useless using those types of moves on you, at least for a few turns. that's where the real fun of competitive Pokmon starts, imo. |

calm down, old man, I just finished saying it depends on the situation. Vanilla Altaria still resists fire, grass, water, bug and Ground, I never said Fairy's bad I just said there are places in Pokémon where Flying and Natural Cure could be better.

Whoa dudes. I didn't mean to spark a little talk there about how amazing fluffy M-Altaria is. But yes. I try to make use of it's defensive typing while still being able to hit hard enough. I don't run DD offensive Altaria like I've seen run around. Also, regular Altaria's flying typing comes in handy sometimes, too. To avoid Earthquake though the cost of weakness to Stealth Rock is a pain. It just depends. The point is that Altaria has become extremely versatile with it's Mega. The ability to take hits and check a good amount of Pokemon while being to hit hard back is no joke. I kinda wish it didn't get the attack boost but with it, it adds to the guess of what set M-Altaria will run, unlike others like Pinsir and stuff.
Edit: And that's just discussion on it's typing. Didn't even touch taking Toxic or Will o Wisps for the team. I usually carry a cleric anyways, though. Last edited by Sub-zero; February 2, 2015 at 04:59:00 PM. |

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN EXHILARATING SERIES!!!!!!!!!!
-As I thought I was closing in on victory against Pianomaster19, he came out of nowhere and swept the rest of my team with a Talonflame. -The second match was extremely nitty-gritty and I just barely managed to pull off the 1-0 Victory. Congratulations to Pianomaster19 for his unbelievable run and his 2nd Place finish. - I am very very glad to have won this awesome tournament and to be able to call myself the Champion of Victory Road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - A HUGE thanks to EVERYONE who participated in this tournament and helped it to be as epic and fun as it was. I could not have done any of it without all of you! Also a big thanks to Nytz for his amazing commentary! -Love my Victory Road family!!! -FINAL BRACKET: http://challonge.com/jtvzl9x9 Last edited by MattyBrollic; February 3, 2015 at 10:21:17 PM. |

-I would change it to "Former Champion of Victory Road" because this tournament will be bi-annual so it will happen twice a year! |

I miss this tournament already I really hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Feedback would be nice! I put a lot of time and effort into running these tournaments and I'd like to have some fun, more unorthodox styled ones soon, but only if you guys would be interested because that's what matters the most to me.

Your tournament was great! You're so awesome, MattyBrollic! I wish I could be half as good-looking and battler as you, and I'm sure that leaving my computer on for you while logged on and opened to this page was a great idea!

You should! I enjoy hosting them, but I have been quite disappointed in the lack of feedback I have been receiving lately. This is the biggest tournament we've had since I've been here and I just didn't feel very positive vibes or energy this time around. I'd like to take a break from hosting and just play in the next tournament.

Tourney went well, actually. I think the other one lasted a little over a month or something, no? Took a while, is all I remember. Talonflame is a train wrecker if you don't have a defensive Rotom or Mega-Manectric. >.> Or a rock type but, y'know, 5x weaknesses. Gg all! Next time Talonflame should be excluded since it was the star of the show. :3

There's probably a better place for this (and I think I mentioned it somewhere else but can't remember where) but can we have a gimmick tourney some day? Like, the the only move we can use is Metronome, but we can still try to build a team around it that isn't six Togepi?
Could be a fun, lighthearted thing to do over spring break or something, between the serious tournament seasons, and is actually possible now that training in ORAS is as easy as tau. |
