It is unspoken rule, and it sets the stage for Anime Rules #1-1000, therefore it is #0.

Well, i’m consistent at koing at least one pokemon on the other team.

If only I could do the same with the other two.

I love sun, but I would like to win multiplayer at least once.

Perhaps in he future, Pokemon will have other type starters-Fighting, Flying, Ice or Dark, Psychic, Fighting, or Ground, Steel, Ice. Or maybe electric, flying, and ground.

Recently, Alakazam, Metagross, and Primarina.

Psychic, Psycho cut, disable, psybeam for Alakazam. Metagross: Psychic, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb and Meteor mash.

Primarina Sparkling Aria, bubble beam, hydro pump, and moon blast.

Mainly, I'm worried that the winners are laughing behind my back.

You really need to give alakazam coverage moves as it only knows psychic type moves, also get rid of sludge bomb on metagross, rid of bubble beam on primarina

Why get rid of sludge bomb? bubble beam is a non factor beacuse I use other moves anyways before I lose Primarina.

I would give Primarina an Ice move, but that's just me. I like to teach my mons off-type moves.

I certainly talk shit about people when I lose. Like that bastard Venasaur in Battle Tree. Ingrain, Leech Seed, Poison Powder, and Absorb, or some similar nonsense. I was four or five battles in and let me tell you, I haven't been back since.


Unrelated, I'm looking for a noibat/noivern and deerling/sawsbuck in Sun/Moon to round out my dream team if anyone has a spare they're willing to trade off.

No,I mean in online pokemon matches, when people win, do they talk shit about the loser?

(I also meant if people win)

Sorry that i'm obsessing over this, I'm just kinda depressed over this.

And angry.

So angry and depressed that I headbutted my own arm. It still hurts.

All beacuse I can't win in a game I put in over a hundred hours in.

I don't battle online so I have no idea. I mean, there's jerks everywhere if you look hard enough, but I imagine most folks are too busy being proud of their team to spare a second thought about whoever they just fought.

Because it won't do a lot of damage for metagross since he is more of a physical attacker instead of a special attacker and on that note replace metagross's psychic with zen headbutt.

Alakazam has an extremely high special attack stat so get rid of psycho cut and replace with shadow ball, keep psychic, I would say get rid of disable but it could be useful and psybeam is a bad move so get rid of that

Primarina Sparkling Aria, bubble beam, hydro pump, and moon blast.

Are you competing in OU or UU? If OU, I would prefer this set.

Primarina @ Choice Specs
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 172 HP / 252 SpA / 84 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Hidden Power Fire

Hydro Pump can switched out to scald if you want accuracy, and a way to possibly burn Pokemon that are switched in. The other STAB move in the set is Moonblast, which allows you to get rid of major threats like Keldeo, Latios, and Mega Gyrados. Psychic gets rid of pesky poison Pokemon that resist Primarina, like Toxapex and more. Hidden Power Fire is useful, even though I hate using Hidden Power, I think it's a cheap way to get coverage. But, this is Primarina's only way to get past annoying Ferrothorn, which would typically completely wall Primarina. But, the type match-up is still not great and I would suggest a switch out to fire if a Ferrothorn wall comes into play. Good luck, and if you want more sets I can help you out, or go to Smogon, or Pokemon Database for movesets. :)
