[CLOSED] The Elemental Elites (continues in the new thread)

[Roloc]

Actually ledian no longer has spore
It wasn't supposed to have it in the first place.

[deadae]

really?...then i'll have to replace with butter free

[zylonnick]

Mmmm, I might change my type to Normal, but I'm not sure yet.
A team consisting of a LO Sheer Force Tauros; a Curselax; a Porygon2 invested in Def and HP with Recover and BoltBeam with a 4th move (not sure which move yet), a scarf Ditto; an offensive Togekiss and a LO or CB Staraptor.

Any thoughts about it?

[MyTh]

I never knew battling was so technical till I came to PU.
Well... i always knew, just never put much thought into it.

Yeah I read that and began to eat my words.

Ponge, I'm gonna go with water types, turns out I suck with psychic T_T

[Noah_Road]

If you go with normal types, CS Reckless Staraptor is wrecking the balance metagame right now. I blame the fact that Vileplume is getting more popular, scarfed Emboar is getting more popular, and there is a significant lack of balanced counters yet.

YES! I am not the only one thinking that!

[Noah_Road]

Is anyone able to contact Ms.Boss at all?

[Mr. Fox]

I haven't heard from him since before the old thread went down. We might need a Mr. Boss Sub. If we do that I vote Mr. Bug.

[Noah_Road]

I was thinking the same thing but I don't think its a great idea to find a sub until we know whats going on. Its only been about a week but we don't know how long he'll be away. He's probably just really busy with work or dealing with a personal matter.

[Roloc]

Yeah, I'm sure he will be back soon enough. It wasn't long ago that I spoke with him.

BTW I will be sending out a guild wide PM again pretty soon so be sure to look for it.

We're balancing some potential walls/tanks atm, so when the balance tester server is up, we might finish them and give him some counters. (think things like improved Weezing, Nidoqueen, Druddigon,...)

[Noah_Road]

Weezing was always good at stopping Staraptor in its tracks with Will-o-Wisp. Getting some reliable steel types could also help. As long as its choiced and you can predict correctly then you don't have to worry about the CC's that Starpator carries.

Miss Wednesday... One thing i've learned about mono teams on pu... You cant give up on a type every type is worth it...I mean even mono ice can be made useful in this game... The more you use your type, and study every pokemon of that type-the better you will become. Also, as you battle the same ppl, you start realizing what u need on ur team in this game, and what you dont need. Dont keep switching because of losses. Start switching your style while using the same type. Use pokemon that you would never have used b4, alot of pokemon that aren't key in the metagame, are key in this game. Stick with one type and up ur skill. Psychic can be great i mean look at Mr. Psychic...He has created multiple psychic teams that can compete with anything...This guild isnt completly focused on victories like the Yin of Y/Y, its more about mastering your types. This means learning about more than just six pokemon, it may even mean training more than 6 pokemon for battle(different key pokemon may be needed to defeat different players, in a tourney im sure you'd be aloud to switch out one or two pokemon b4 a match). I had to change my outlook on pokemon to play this game-everyone did/did. I think thats what you are going to have to realize. You have potential every one knows i usually dont like noobs, but you notice i try to help you all the time... Certain things you do in battle show me that you have potential to be one of the best, same with Misery.
