I'm assuming you're making this team for NU and not to grind BP on matchmaking. If that's the case I would run either naive or hasty so that you can boom (explosion) on something for as much damage as you can. The +speed nature to outspeed what you can. If you want someone to try out your team with hmu in game I'm LF other NU people to play against.

Bump

Yeah that'd be cool. Would need help setting something like that up but I'm sure I could get some guys in AURA to join.

So I'm coming back to this after being rip awhile. Still seeing there's no incentive for players to get on UU/NU matchmaking so was wondering if anyone wanted to designate a spot to go if they wanted to find a lower tier match. We could maybe start a group and go from there. ps please move this if it's in the wrong section.

When jhoto?

Same time this week guys

ill be on around 5pm EST if anyone wants to run a few games. you guys cool with verm ch 7 or is there somewhere in unova you guys wanna meet up at?

Cool. What time works best for you guys? Ik a lot of us work.

Source on this? And ofc ai cant but that goes without saying lmao. I agreed with OP that the story was challenging, but why does that mean we have to change it and remove the challenge? There are a lot of players, including myself, who enjoyed the challenge. Before it was a little too easy. We shouldnt have to change the cap just because players refuse to learn type matches and other things to help overcome some of the difficulties.

yeah ik not everyone wanted to pvp. but besides berry farming and shiny hunting thats really all there is to the game atm. and for berry farming and shiny hunting you dont need to beat the game to do it. if they just wanted to experience the story they can, it just doesnt have to be in mmo.

Well, you can kind of look at the main story as the "tutorial" for pvp. Good thing is you dont lose money when you lose a story battle. So theres no real drawback.

Yeah i understand where youre coming from. But i think this is good to teach these new players type match ups and some other competitive strategies they will need for pvp. And you dont need 5x31 mons to run through the story. Just good strat. And theyll only need to invest in a few revives/potions for e4. But trust me i understand the worry. The pros just outweigh the cons for me.

Anyone want to get a group together every Friday or whenever and do unranked pvp? If we get enough people we should be able to hop on and get some BP while practicing with the new mons. That way we wont have to get bodied by Volc on ou unranked.

There really is no issue with the current cap. if theyre struggling that much find appropriate type match ups for the gyms/rivals. Makes the game 100x easier.

This. Lower tier players exist too.
