Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

Meh, it's pretty frail, and can't get past Avalugg.

Sawsbuck doesn't have to break Avalugg, it resists its STAB and the best it can do is Roar Sawsbuck out. +2 Return does between 35-40%, so whatever is brought in has a decent chance at being able to break it from that range, especially if they're a special Attacker. And Sawsbuck has Normal and Grass STABs with Bug coverage, which is godly in Inverse. The frailty argument is silly when we're talking about a Focus Sash sweeper that outspeeds the entire meta in the right conditions.
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

Hate to be that guy but can we get a Challonge link so that we know that nothing fishy is going on behind the scenes?

And never mind I can't OP right.

Avalugg can stall out the sun, alongside doing some chip damage by whatever means, which can make Sawsbuck significantly easier to handle, but I won't deny that it isn't potent in the right conditions. I personally vouch for Snorlax, but only because it's sturdier, and I personally like buikier pokes.
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

Won

Earthquake. Still the greatest move in the meta.
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

I know that DragonEspeon and I400 are scheduling for their battle, but let me check up on the other remaining match.

@TriggerDigger, @MaddieTheGamer - did you schedule a time for your battle yet?
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

I'm not trying to spam or anything, but after watching a few battles posted here, i hope Inverse Battle has its own ingame facility or at least as an option in a Battle Tower in a future game. There are just so many pokemon i want to use, but can't because their typing greatly hinders them in the normal type chart.

I can totally get behind what you're saying, it sucks that there is no option to choose Inverse for Wifi.
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

well, that one has been a bit slow. Any time prediction for round 2?
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

At the rate this is going, I predict myself to get a free bye to the Round 3
I don't want that to happen D:
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

To anyone that is currently waiting on their next round, I'm totally down for a practice battle. More battles can't hurt.
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

I'm game
I'll be in the Other Metas room, the alt is wi-fi adapter
 
Re: Inverse Battle Tournament (Round 1)

@DragonEspeon @UnseeingRaccoon @TriggerDigger @MaddieTheGamer
Please contact your opponent and try to schedule your battle within the next two days. Try to aim to get your battles done by this weekend, so that we can keep the tournament going. I'd prefer to not drop people as it would lead to a chain reaction of byes, but we can't let this wait too long. :/
