I've decided to have some fun... And did a monotype team for Gen 8 National Dex OU on Showdown.
For now, I can proudly say that I have an 9-1 record, with 7 first fights won.
For the record, I do count fortifying as lost (both in opponent's, and mine, case). But all those surrendering came because of a domination, and they quit.
What monotype, you ask...?
Try to guess.

I have an theory... an insane theory, which doesn't have as many proofs as I'd like, but it makes sense, to some extent.
If it wasn't obvious, this theory WILL involve spoilers to V19.
SpoilerWhat if... But what if...
The thief that murdered Taube and his wife, only to be killed by Solaris afterwards... was Sirius' father?
I don't know if you noticed, but ALL important characters in the story have some kind of sad story, event or such, that either happened before our arrival, or after it; even if it isn't as obvious as it might seem. All, but one. And that one... is Sirius.
All we know about his past is that he had murdered at least 3 high-ranked League Representatives, and destroyed lives' of at least three families (Molinar, Vanhanen, Belrose). And that he's a psychopath.
But that is still weird... everyone had something that caused them to commit sins like that; with motivations being almost as tragic as the done acts. But Sirius has none. Absolutely none... which didn't have me sleep for a few days.
But we have, except aforementioned murders and crimes, no insight on his past.
However, all events of Pokemon Reborn, from present, past and future, are connected to our set of characters; and also characters themselves also are bonded with each other. But there's one but...
We know nothing about person who at least 25 years before events of Reborn invaded the headquarters of the Order, killed their leader, leader's wife, and possibly more, and was ready to steal the keys, just to be killed by Solaris/Phoenix (Taube's son), and thrashed around for hours and hours after dying.
While I don't think it was explicitly said that it was a male, I doubt Phoenix would massacre female's dead body; he has some standards.
Now, one would say... but how does that connect Sirius and the thief?
Well, while there is no direct connection in-game (or I did ommit some details), we know something - Sirius despises Phoenix. And this is shown several times; when cyclop was offending and laughing at his leader, usually behind his back because he knew he would stand no chance in frontal battle. A few of the examples are: calling him "old fool" without hesitation, or taunting him or his son (Taka) after "Duel of the Fates" during Battle of Agate.
And it's not like Sirius simply thinks that Phoenix's goals are stupid, he outright thinks and claims that his actions and himself are foolish and old-dated, or something like that. Heck, he even enjoyed picking up his (or Taka's) eye... But this might be just some weird fetish born after he lost an eye to Corey 12 years prior.
But why would Sirius despise Solaris? Well... If my theory is true, he might want to avenge his father (or whoever that was, but must've been in close relationship; maybe uncle or grandpa). In age-time relationship, that would make sense, Sirius is 30+, and that 'tragedy' happened at least 25 years ago. So he might had heard the news (possibly even in details), and decided to avenge.
Also, the possible relationship between thief and Sirius would explain how he knew about the keys, their purpose and power. If they were just a piece of jewelry, I believe no one in their right mind would be stupid enough to break into Order's headquarters (which used to rule over Reborn Region) and steal them, even if they worth much; risk would have been too big, in my opinion.
And how would he get his hands on them? Well, by joining forces with the one that had them - the one who killed the killer. Therefore, Sirius could kill two birds with one stone - avenge the family member, and gain access to unlimited power.
Still, there are some holes. First, and most important one... What would he do with the said power? Even when Solaris dies, and Taka is punished/dead too, Sirius continues to push on, indicating that he wasn't driven by a singular purpose (which can mean that either my theory is wrong, or - unlike Saphira - he didn't plan to have spent his entire life on just trying to unleash anger on the mortal enemy). However, I don't think Sirius has EVER said anything about his motivation, or reasons, except being overall general, like "achieving New World". But I haven't played V19 version of pre-V19 events yet, so I may be wrong.
Also, a worthy thing to note: even though Sirius keeps babbling about loyalty, commitment and respect toward superiors, in fact, he's loyal to only one person: himself. He doesn't give a single fuck about his enemies, victims, allies, or even superiors; in fact, the only reason he was listening to Lin and Solaris, is because they were stronger than him, and he knew disobeying could bring him a one-way ticket to afterlife, especially in Lin's case (from what I've seen, Sirius is VERY salty about Lin going through the rankings at a speed of light, going from mere Grunt/Private to Leader in mere days {eventually weeks}, while he must have spent years to become a Commander/Admin).
But! Maybe... Maybe Sirius either agrees with Lin's goal and found a common laungage with her, or has some other ulterior motives that's equally bad for others as the New World one. I guess we'll never know, as the only one who would is dead.
Another hole, which I wouldn't exactly call hole - as that is more of an subtheory - is how long exactly Sirius was waiting for the opportunity?
Team Meteor, according to Radomus, had existed for at least 13 years (that is for the versions before 19.0.8, which changes the ages of characters and screws many things up, complicating well-known pieces of lore). And, most likely, Sirius and Radomus knew each other WHILE being in Solaris' fraction. So Sirius must had been a Meteor for 12 years, which, honestly, makes sense - he was third-in-command, before Lin skyrocketed through the ranks, making him officially fourth, but actually second (as for Lin, Phoenix and Elias, who were against her, didn't count). But... Didn't Sirius have any other chances of getting rid of Solaris in those years? Because I think there could be some. Or Solaris was actually THAT good.
Nevertheless, that could mean that Sirius was very persistent in his goals.
Like I said, I don't have many reasons and proofs to confirm my theory, but there is absolutely NONE which would contradict it. And since the ones I gave are actually logical, I think that - even if it isn't true - the theory of thief Phoenix murdered was Sirius' close relative is actually solid.
If some of the story/character designers are reading this, they may confirm/negate the theory and say the truth.

What do you all consider the strongest type? I would say either Fire, Dragon, or Steel, even though I'm a Dark fan.

"Protagonist can talk" for Pokemon Rejuvenation. After Aevia defeats the Reserve Leader Aya in Neo East Gearen Gym for the badge, here's where Aya will tell about what happened to Reborn Region :
Aya : Ah, well. You win some, you lose some. I'm okay with losing now.
I know I've improved. Hardy would be here to encourage me not to give up.
Aevia : I can feel he would be proud of you for your performance.
Aya : Stop. You're embarassing me.
I used to live off that reassurance, but I think I'm okay.
Here. Take the badge and TM102 Poison Sweep.
Aevia got PoisonHeart Badge and TM102 Poison Sweep.
Aya : So, um, thanks for all that. You can go now.
Aevia : Sure. Thank you, too.
Then Aevia left the arena but Aya forgot to say something so she wanted to appear.
Aya : Wait, Aevia!
Aevia : What is it?!
Aya : I almost forgot to tell you something.
The people down at the Parks and Recreation Center actually replied to us.
Adrienn still finds the response very strange, though.
According to xem, the response sounded like an automated message.
Which, technically, by Gearen City law...
That's not so allowed.
Aevia : If Alain were in my place, they would say that the rules must be screwed.
Aya : Given her reaction, that's not really surprising.
What I'm trying to say is that we're planning on going there sometime soon.
Aevia : When will you be ready?!
Aya : When? Dunno, you'll have to come back later and see how things go.
Until then, thanks for everything.
Aevia : You, too.
Aya : ...
I want to tell you about what happened to that boy.
Aevia : What is it? Is there something so serious?
Aya : I'll tell you but I won't repeat myself.
It's about what happened in Reborn Region.
Aevia : If you don't want to, then don't. I'm not going to force you.
Aya : But I must.
Aevis appeared.
Aevis : Hi. I can tell that you really did battle Aya and got the badge.
Aevia : Thanks. I did my best to defeat her.
Aya : Aevis. Perfect timing.
Since you're here, I'll tell you, too.
Aevis : I heard that. But go on.
Aya : Here's the moment about what happened :
"It's about my old friend with Blaziken who became the champion of Reborn Region.
He really was a man of justice, willing to risk his life for the future of the region. He really solved every problems about the tragedy that turned into madness, saved the life of the people and defeated the villains. But...
I was told that during time he managed to defeat Arc-Pulse, when he really saved their loved ones, he paid a heavy price.
He sacrificed his own personality for his own friends. His own self.
The champion of Reborn Region currently became emotionless and mute. He doesn't react no matter what we do to cheer him up.
We made some jokes on him but he didn't react.
We wanted to say something humiliating to him but he didn't react.
We yelled at him but he didn't react.
We wanted to comfort him but didn't react.
Even now, he doesn't feel any sadness, rage, hatred, happiness, cheerfulness and love.
He acts like the fate of world is in his hands. He only obeys under his own will to protect the region and us, too.
He doesn't think for himself. He acts like a robot.
That's when his own Pokemons came to understand his order to battle without talk because they want to share the same pain as he did.
That's was quite a shock but quite depressing to us. I didn't want for him to deserve to be this way. Everyone feels the same as I am, too.
We were so helpless for him because many things won't make him come back to his senses.
Still, he's determined to protect the people of the region, no matter what happens."
That's all I have to...
Then Aya realized that Aevia is crying because of the story.
Aevia :
Aevis : Oh, poor him.
Aya : That's why it's up to you to make him return to his old self.
Please. Promise me. We don't want to let him suffer any further because of his own guilty complex.
If Ame were to be still here...
Aevis : We'll find out. Don't worry.
Aevia : *Sob* You can count on us.
Aya : Thank you and I'm sorry.
Then Aya left.
Note : Sorry for being late. That was long. I hope you enjoyed reading. See you tomorrow.

SpoilerSix current Champions, one former/recent, and Mega Evolution expert.
We can say that the matches should be very exciting

Nothing... and I mean NOTHING pisses me off more during competitive battles than "strategies" falling under the umbrella of: stalling and wasting time of the opponent
That means: spamming Toxic, Will-o-Wisp, and Protect, constantly switching in and out, using moves like Roar or Whirlwind... Those strategies- I can't even call them strategies - that's just being annoying. Of course, if only 1 or 2 Pokemon have those, no problem. But if ENTIRE TEAM is built around those strats... then I cannot even name it a strategy - that is being a dick. Especially when you laugh and taunt your opponent on chat
If you're using such strats all the time, then that means you cannot face create true team to fight like equals against others. And if you keep laughing and salting others, then you only support my theory.
The only loss of my new team come because of Toxic-Protect stall with entry hazard (which are rare in Doubles outside of Sticky Web which benefits me more), Roar and Whirlwind to prevent Trick Room and some Taunt, Torment or Encore.
That guy... girl... whatever, had SO MUCH LUCK that they were able to Double-Protect almost every single time, and I think there even was a Triple-Protect which... isn't impossible, there's, like, 1 in 27 chance to do so. But I'm still salty - just like another battle which ENTIRE team was around Perish Trap; which I've barely won... Jesus Christ...
Currently my new team has 8-1 record (first 6 won), and my Trick Room team overall has 29-6 record (which is 82,8% win rate)

Spoiler
When in one of the Championship Defenses, Charlotte proposed to redecorate the Champion room... I honestly am all for.
I honestly would like the Champion room in the Pokemon League to have a combination of black, (very) dark grey and dark indigo (violet) or dark crimson.
Then get rid of the electrical light and let's put some torches on the walls and pillars which will burn with either violet or crimson-colored (it is possible; just a little chemistry can do wonders)
Then, at the opposite end of the room, instead of PULSE Abra I would like a throne made out of human and Pokemon bones, which I'd like to have them surrounding the room.
If the challenger manages to defeat Elite Four, they would see me, sitting on that throne, slowly clapping as a mean of congratulating, then speak the "classical dark yabba yabba" in a Champion manner, with a low and stern voice. With the scenery, it'd create an truly terryfing, blood-freezing atmosphere in the final battle of Reborn League.
SpoilerObviously, the bones would be props and my manner... just acting (if we could send voicelines here I'd show you how I could sound like there)
I just want them to think that Champion would be nice, diligent and peaceful invidual... only to find he might be an actual psychopath who loves to spread suffer and agony, and eat the flesh of the beaten challengers. While others would be right - an acting to have them both scared, and determined to give their all, because if they knew they could die if lost, they would give 100% if not more. Which means more fun in battling!
Actually, Lin does something very similar - her image of invincible, stoic and ruthless terrorist leader is an act; she's just an child who doesn't want to be forgotten, and have fun with the others... in her own, twisted way...
And... How would you like to rearrange the Champion room if you could?

Togekiss (F) @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Follow Me
- Air Slash
- Heat Wave
- Dazzling Gleam
Milotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Competitive
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 30 HP / 1 Atk / 30 SpA / 1 Spe
- Ice Beam
- Scald
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Protect
Cresselia (F) @ Mental Herb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Psychic
- Moonlight
- Helping Hand
Tyranitar (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Rock Slide
- Protect
- Brick Break
- Fire Punch
Mega Camerupt and Tyranitar - the most reliable members - are without any major changes; Tyranitar has different offensive moveset, but that is it. I do consider giving Camerupt Protect, to "summon" Water attacks and bait them to hitting either resistant Milotic, or Weakness Policy Tyranitar, but as of right now it doesn't seem necessary.
For Milotic I replaced Dragon Pulse with Hidden Power Grass, to deal with other bulky Water types which would wall it. I've experienced it before; in one battle there was Milotic vs Milotic at the very end... and it was ultra long.
For other Pokemon... Porygon2 and Dusclops stopped being reliable; especially when opponent had Taunt. For that I wanted to introduce replacements for them: Cresselia and Stakataka
SpoilerI know I've replaced Stakataka for being unreliable, but now I have better strategies
I am aware that Cresselia basically screams "Trick Room team"... but so does Dusclops. And that Legendary Pokemon is bulkier than even Evolite Dusclops, thanks to Base HP which is 3 times bigger!
One could say that it isn't THAT better, because it's also weak to Knock Off, and vulnerable to Taunt, while not being immune to Fake Out. Well, I have the solution for two of the three:
- Fake Out is very hard to counter if not a Ghost, but if the opponent aims at the offensive Pokemon, it should be fine
- Knock Off is boosted only once; without item it isn't as strong, even if used by Max Atk Incineroar
- Taunt can be repelled with Mental Herb; one-use item which nivelates the effect of moves like Taunt, Disable, Encore, Torment, etc. If Cresselia isn't hit by Knock Off before it is used, it can counter opponent trying to counter my Trick Room setting
Moonlight and Helping Hand (either of them being able to be replaced by Protect) are for utility, and Psychic (eventually Psyshock) to actually do damage in case something goes wrong (taunted AND blocked at once, f.e.)
Stakataka isn't as obvious of a Trick Room setter as Cresselia, so it won't be a target of Taunting. But it might be Fake Out'd... or hit by a x4 Fighting or Ground attack. And since its' IV/EV spread is made to have the Attack be higher than Defense, therefore Beast Boost boosting Attack, it's a bit fragile. Also Trick Room makes impossible to effectively use Assault Vest. But that's where completely new team members joins - Togekiss.
I'll admit, that's a bit odd of a choice, but hear me out. Togekiss is (almost) perfect choice to potentially lead with Stakataka because of one move - Follow Me.
Thanks to +2 priority, it will have most of the attacks to aim at Togekiss, who takes excellently all types which Stakataka's weak to - it's immune to Ground, double resistant to Fighting, and only neutral to Water, which if they aim at it, I can switch Togekiss to Milotic or Tyranitar. The only attacks that won't redirect are those with higher priority (only Fake Out), those with the same but on faster Pokemon (First Impression, Extreme Speed, Faint; all uncommon in Doubles) or specific ones: Doom Desire or Future Sight. So I think it's fine to have those.
Alongside it, spread moves of Dazzling Gleam and Heat Wave, plus STAB Air Slash with 60% chance to flinch and Iapapa Berry (or Sitrus) to heal the bulky Togekiss.
And Stakataka gets Steelium Z... because I don't have any better item on it, except Chople/Shuca Berry (which are too much of a roulette to use), or Life Orb.
I'll see if I made good choices

So... Do you want to say... that we-, I-... can be friends with Lin... for real...?
SpoilerOH! HELL! YEAH!
I have been saying that it'd be interesting if the "real Lin" was actually controlled or something like that by Giratina or other (unholy) being, and she was actually delicate, kind and cute. And that I'd love to be friends with her
While the part about "controlling" was wrong... after we save her (only in Lin Route, unfortunately), she slowly becomes to what I've imagined her to be, and we can be friend.
I wonder if we can battle side-by-side or against each other for fun...
SpoilerAnd I want to present her to remaining Meteors to say: "Now, guys, allow me to introduce to you... your almighty leader, Lin".
I can only imagine their reactions; that they've been ruled by some goddamn orphan, which is younger than the youngest member of Reborn Pokemon League

My Trick Room team has currently 8-1 record in Gen 7 competitive Doubles meta game on Pokemon Showdown - winning the first 6 matches.
Not even Taunt can do much - even without Trick Room, Dusclops and Porygon2 are too much for opponents to handle at ease. Intimidate users are a fodder to Milotic. Stakataka and Tyranitar can tank even x4 hits, then obliterate with boosted Rock Slides. And Mega Camerupt WILL destroy you if you don't destroy it.
Team is... almost perfect - it does have some holes, but as of right now, I don't see much need of correcting those, as the ways to heavy-counter them are quite 'niche'

He just wanted to make Reborn a better place and serve Arceus. He wasn't a battler but a kind leader.
Yet, he was just a victim of people's greed and unhealthy desire for power. And the things he possessed - The Keys - were too much weight for him to handle, as he never was a strong Trainer.
Maybe that's why Solaris wanted to be the strongest - to have the power to protect what's dear for him: the region... and his son.

I have some dilemmas. I want to restart playing Gen 7 Doubles in online competitive... but I'm tad afraid that I can't build truly proper Trick Room team
Spoiler(so what I've used it to win Pokemon Reborn; that's not the same)
Could you... give your own opinions or something about it?

My usual leads are Dusclops and Tyranitar.
On round one, Tyranitar uses Protect while Dusclops sets up Trick Room (thanks to being immune to Fake Out, that makes it easier to do)
Then, usually, on 2nd turn I'd use Bulldoze to slow down Tyranitar, and activate Weakness Policy, doubling the Attack. Minimal Attack investment is necessary to minimize done damage to it. Fire Punch on Tyranitar is to ensure OHKO'ing Pokemon like Kartana, Ferrothorn and some variations of Celesteela.
But if opponent's lead Pokemon is Incineroar, they usually, after Fake Out, use Parting Shot. Then I'd swap out Tyranitar for Milotic, who with Competitive would have it's Special Attack increased by 3 stages total. Bulky and very offensive Water type would get its' job done.
Stakataka's EV/IV spread might seem a little weird, but that's because to have its' Attack higher than Defense, therefore having Beast Boost boost its' Attack, not Defense. Unchecked, it might wreck havoc.
Mega Camerupt has that specific IV set to be able to use Hidden Power Grass - for wider coverage. Alternatively, I could use moves boosting its' Special Attack like Growth. But I wanted some Grass attacks to deal with bulky and annoying Water types, who also could threaten it.
Porygon2 is another Trick Room setter, but instead of being pure Support like Dusclops, its' offensive Pokemon, with moves to spread annoying status conditions, and to deal with unexpected and overall irritating Pokémon like Celesteela. Alternatively, I could have it run Toxic, but let's see how that set works.
If you have any changes, don't be afraid - I'll take any critic.

Oscarus. You know why I'm not playing Pokemon Reborn E19 :
SpoilerI have unfinished business with Pokemon Xenoverse about catching Vintage Pokemons and Pass 4 will appear very soon. Good thing, other players can do the test about if there's many bugs and crashes in Pokemon Reborn because I don't want to be a victim of that case.

First Flora, and now Shiv?!
Why two of the most hated assholes from Reborn-verse games that I'd love to pummel to the ground with my bare hands appear in postgame? Can't I just... y'know... kill them?
And start being useful, Flora!
If you keep doing nothing, I'll replace Heat Wave on my Camerupt to Lava Plume, just to keep your damn ass out of this.
I simply don't care about you, or PULSE, or anything else. I just want you dead.
