    Yes, if I actually set out to do a run proper I will definitely do no D/G-max. Even without that it doesn't track wins, doesn't have progressive difficulty and doesn't incrementally increase rewards, so still pretty dull compared to tree.

    SwSh Battle Facilities Discussion & Records

    I see lots of streaks reported in 10s, but each round is 11 battles according to the first post? Anyways, I've done 6 rounds so far with basically a VGC team that I had got shinies for, initially just to grind some BP to get a Modest Mint for the Shiny G-Max Lapras but then kept going...

    Also, how do you save battles before the loss? Save record option? Would have loved to have saved the one where Moltres and Kingdra kept setting opposing weather alternate turns!

    Just stopping by to report an ongoing streak of 70 wins with my son in SUMO Super multis. I offered to let him choose the Mega he wanted to use, and he chose Mega-Gardevoir. I believe I posted the team quite a while back, but we hadn't returned to it for a long time after being demoralised when...

    Eyyy, nice to see Comfey get some more love. Was the star of my first team to get past 50, similar team composition to this one paired with a DD Intimidate partner (Gyarados, Z), steel type in the back (Mega-Metagross, before move tutors so inaccurate moves, before a lot of megastones were...

    This strat has seen play in VGC18. I've seen it with Whimsicott, and also Drifblim with Rain Dance (Aaron Zheng is using the Drifblim one right now on his YouTube channel). I like Rain Dance, it's a helping hand that Whimsi doesn't have to use every turn - freeing it to other things, like Fake...

    True, I had considered Mega-Mence in the third slot for the ground immunity and fire resist, and Intimidate, and, well, it's Mega-Mence...

    Hmmm. Considering a mon to build around for Singles Tree in UM, and like I did with Buzzwole I'd like to use one of my shinies. Does anyone think Xurkitree can work in Singles Tree? I'd like to make it work, however I'm not really sure it can. It seems like it has too much going against it. Not...

    That damn Haxorus! Ended my run with this team at 91 wins in Sun. Grats on the nice streak. I top cut a small but super competitive VGC special event here in Auckland today (most of the field had travelled in from Oz and Asia to try and secure day two invites), and with that VGC is done for the...

    Nice to see some more Comfey love! My streak to 76 with my self-made team (designed to get to 50 for my first ever time in a battle facility in any gen) was really early, so a lot of megas and legendaries weren't options for me, although healing boosting pokemon was certainly a big part of the...

    Flash Cannon and Shadow *Ball*, I think you mean?

    Pretty much same advice here too. Mega-gardevoir would definitely be good there. I'd run some speed control, Tailwind on Zapdos being an obvious choice. Lando and Gardevoir both appreciate it, and allows Gardevoir to run a fast Encore which is a big asset. Tailwind can also allow reallocation of...

    Ack, the perils of playing super multis with children. We lost at 42 because my son didn't mega (I check with him each game that he has mega'd before he locks in a move, and did here, but alas...). Opposing lead was Hippowdon and Grassium-Z Rotom-Mow. I Fake Out on the Rotom, knowing that...

    Is there a couple of trailing zeros missing in that post?

    I feel like they're even better in multis where locking in a 2 v 1 is more beneficial given the limited switching opportunities.

    My son and I inch forward in the multis tree, up to battle 34 today. Decided to change Substitute to Encore on Gardevoirs set, wow, what a change. We'd hardly ever used Substitute, and granted when we did it was very good, but I felt like something else could offer more. Encore is definitely...

    I find the FIWAM mnemonic helpful for remembering which berries to use - https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/vgcwithhats.com/2017/02/22/which-fiwam-berry-should-you-use/amp/ As a general rule of thumb Iapapa or Aguav berries can be used for almost any mon that isn't running a mixed set, as it is...

    Well, I was feeling lazy, so I just went again without making alterations. Managed Fini and switching better and got the 50 stamp, which is nice, especially since I'd used an 'off the shelf' team to do it Sun with Mence/Aegis/Chansey and had challenged myself to do it with a team of my own...

    Take two on Buzzwole super singles ended at 46. Bold physical Def Calm Mind Fini with Aguav Berry and Taunt, same phys def shiny Buzzwole, SpD AV Heatran with a better EV spread. Much better team comp, so nice having the security of Fini's status protection and Taunt. Up until the loss the only...

    Had a brief whirl at Singles Tree in USUM, really just as a brief proof of concept run to see how well Buzzwole can act as a phys Def specialist. Seems like it'd be workable, easily sets up against anything physical that doesn't have Flying or Fire coverage (I just lazily paired it with an AV...
