Luke has declined his manager contract due to last minute in-real-life conflicts, and is being replaced by Jaawax. @Jaawax, we apologize for the late warning. Please get a teamname, and appoint a comanager, if you need one. TLDR; #freejawax -> #freedjaawax @Bearminator @Meltdown you can lock this thread now, ty.

What I use to deal with conk: - Bold Swalot with encore and rocky helmet - my most successful so far (although not well-seen by community, whatever)(Pretty safe unless conk eqs on the switch-in(which is super super rare). Facade on switch makes you low, but you can still beat it. Anything else is ez pz) - Physically defensive Metagross (rocky helmet too, although optional. And can rocks) -Cofagrigus is probably the best answer, but imo gives some easy switch-in on too threatening pokes. Other options are, like it was said, skarmory, hippowdon, togekiss, but beware all of them can succumb to the right move on switch. Defensive Salamence is also solid with rocky helmet and roost (and can defog). And if you are not afraid of using lower tiered pokemons, NU offers you Weezing (who is also able of toxic spiking), or spiritomb (that is also arguably the best mon against reuniclus) Enjoy.

Once a wise man said: "Once you sit on top with perfect mons, it's time to learn how to win with budget comps"

Only Aurum has the power to summon the dead. Come back plz.

assman = no player jajaja. Ever how abusing the power of assman. Power of host ever how is bigger lo. With love -pachima

Only mandibuzz effectively counters garchomp out of that bunch. Not trying to justify anything, just pointing out facts.

So, the 8 managers are selected. And that can only mean: Player sign-ups. For those who are new or haven't yet read the general rules, please check: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jrFThqqVDoe_QRs3vzPJxfFzNg4n7EwlV1fVEk0Kkis/edit Now, without further ado, let's start: 1- What are you, as a player, expected to accomplish? Respect the host and their manager's decisions. Respect, understand and follow the rules stated in the link above. Playing games. Putting in effort. Having hype. Getting paid. 2- How to apply: Post in this thread, under the following format: IGN: Reason: Preferred Tiers: Competitive accolades (optional, although it certainly increases your chances of getting picked/having an higher salary): Discord contact (optional): Other random stuff: 3- When is the deadline: 14th of September (16h00 GMT) 4- What then? Auction (Yet to announce) Start of the season (yet to announce) 5- GET HYPED Also, feel free to express your opinions on already posted sign-ups, or sign-ups you'd be willing to wish in the future. Finally, if there is anything you are not sure about how it's going to work, make sure to contact us hosts. EDIT @AndrewHavsha, @YettoDie, @DarylDixon @isi1993 @Sebat @Imabetheverybest1 @LifeStyleNORE(leJovi) @Lvkee - Please whisper me/thinknicer your team name and your eventual comanager.

Oh I'm all in for the arguing. Just make sure (and this isnt pointing at you), you arent degrading other people status while you do so.

Okay, this has gone way too far, and it saddens me past hosts allowed such mentality to keep happening. First, I won't claim my picks are the best ones, cause they 99,56% aren't. Picking 8 out of 20 managers, in which more than half are pretty solid isn't an easy task. Second, The decision is absolute, and there will be no backing out of that. Third, while I can agree with some of the myriad of arguments that are being thrown at me, it makes no sense to claim X and Y won't be good managers, when they haven't even tried. (I am a good example of that).- You can claim some managers that didn't cut it would be god managers, but you can't tell some that did cannot be. tldr; It's PSL, it's absolutely impossible to make everyone happy. We are human, and we commit mistakes. However, claiming some picks are just plain bad and unjustified, way before the actual thing starts, is illogical and shouldn't be promoted. You don't like the picks? Good. Is your opinion different than mine? Obviously. Are you right, and am I wrong? Maybe, but for god sake argue, blame, complain, and kill each other when you have actual evidences supporting your argument, not this early. Thank you all, and I hope we all witness an hyped PSL.

So, we are finally here. This season we had plenty of nice sign ups, so it wasn't exactly easy to select 8 of the bunch. Either way, let me announce, 100% not biased, the 8 picks we decided to select. In no particular order, and without further ado, let's start: Suspense

Yall wrong.

So, since the final countdown for the manager signup is drawing closer, here is the thread in where you can express your predictions regarding the 8 manager picks. Without further ado, let's announce the possible candidates: imat spaintakula daryl realdevillegend yettodie havsha kupokun YungTor Sebat Nowall imabetheverybest lotus titooooo jaawax lejovi isperea xxpryorxx enchanteur MadaraSixSix luke Please post your predictions, and why. Discuss, create drama solid arguments for your picks, create HYPE! NOTE: Manager sign-ups close at Monday, 12h00 GMT

Correct me if I am wrong, cuz Im now venturing through stuff Im not sure about. I played gen8 for a while, but not much. Is it fair to compare gen8 knock off with gen5 knock off? If I'm not mistaken, in gen8 (or maybe earlier), there is a massive powerspike compared to gen5 or below. And since knock off wasn't updated to accompany the evolution, the fact it was not changed means it's actually weaker in relation to gen8 meta, when compared to gen5 meta. TLDR; Knock off might not be broken in gen8, but the meta is super difference there, and that may have influence on knock off actual viability. And again, sorry if I'm wrong.

Ferrothorn will deffinitely enjoy switching on all those fighting mons that can knock off. Also, ever wondered why they made those items deny knock off?

Hell no. We have not any of the items that negate knock off effect.

Stored power kinda tickles if not set up tho. jelli and bliss can taunt it too. even gyara beats stored power. I legit think psychic >, although that too has its issues.

Taunt completely negates stored power. Hydreigon completely negates mono psychic. Scizor can sd and, to some extent, beat it. You can phaze it or haze it. And finally, if you really want, you could bring lower tiered pokemon. Spiritomb, for instance, handles nicely reuni and conk. TLDR; Unlike garchomp, doublesetup Reuni has plenty of answers, most of them viable, so I don't think it is really broken. More of a nuisance maybe, but fine.
