    Pokenations Sets n' Trick by Reignited'Light

    forgot to post but

    Vertigo (Gigalith) (F) @ Smooth Rock  
    Ability: Sand Stream  
    EVs: 252 HP / 80 Atk / 176 SpD  
    Careful Nature  
    - Rest  
    - Sleep Talk  
    - Rock Slide  
    - Earthquake

     

    So I ran this 2 weeks in a row, so might as well explain both:

     

    week 6: so Gigalith gets a +20 stat boost to everything. Meaning, it now hits harder and is bulkier than Ttar, without the Fighting weakness too. So this not only helped with Zion's boosted special electrics, but also with things like Mega Camerupt if needed, and it gave some support to the team (some extra bulk thanks to sand, Cradily still really liked it tbh). Since Gigalith was better off going in and out, taking all dem special hits, hitting back hard usually, and Leftovers didn't quite cut it as recovery, not to mention Toxic, so I made it a pure wall. Eventually, it stalled out Quagsire since I managed to burn it with Incineroar. Coulda given it curse tbh, for real crocune hours

     

    week 7: another good matchup for Gigalith. Didn't really need to change the set since it did very well against Zodiac too. Walled P2, as well as most of their other special hitters, and this time, even though it didn't have the power boost, it had Sand Stream + Sand Force. So it hits twice as hawd. No switchins baybee. Also no burns bc Rest. And again, no toxic. Fun stuff. Still its main purpose was tanking, so ResTalk again.

    There are no "wrong" or "right" choices. Particularly so out of those three you listed. You're just perceiving one scenario as more morally "correct" than the other when really the game isn't forcing you to choose one or act just like how a plucky, messianic shoujo/shonen hero would.

     

    1. Freeing Kreiss had potential consequences that Venam even warns you about. It wasn't supposed to be an obviously "safe" decision. Your character and Venam just happened to get lucky that he wasn't a bad guy, but it's pretty clear that he could have been.

     

    2. Again, whether surrendering the Magma Stone or not was right depends entirely on you. Both options have understandable rationale; on one hand, keeping the stone may cost you a life that didn't have to be lost, and it would happen right in front of you with you helpless to stop it. On the other, you need the Magma Stone to save other lives. These were both pretty clearly spelled out, and the game gives both options weight.

     

    3. If anything, saving Maria seemed like the slightly more "right" thing to do to me at the time. Even so, neither are taken lightly and you aren't blamed for choosing the cop over Maria–or vice-versa–if that's what you did. If you save the cop, Venam agrees that he doesn't need to die such a painful death even given his misdeeds. If you saved Maria, she tells you instead that the cop is only getting the karma he sought. Neither choice is wrong, and you aren't punished for one or the other at all.

    i think he meant 'right' as in, the choices that lead to the better ending

    PokeNations 3

    Week 8: CHANGING OF THE GUARD

    Kept you waiting huh?

    Well now it's time, time for crime, for... SHIELD AND SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD

     

    Ok since it's something 3 fourths of you haven't heard about yet, Shield and Sword is an OM created by some loser who likes ponies, that only exists in the Reborn Showdown server (because the nerds at Smogon haven't yet experienced its greatness). So here's what happens: every pokemon's base offensive stats are swapped for their base defensive stats. So, Attack is now Defense, and Sp. Atk is Sp. Def. Take Skarmory as an example: its base Defense is 140 regularly, but in SnS, its base Attack and base Defense are swapped, giving our metal pigeon a base 140 Attack stat! Again, the same thing happens for special stats. HP and Speed remain untouched. Only the base stats are changed: so abilities like Huge Power still act on the new base stat of the mon in question.

    This may be a bit harsh at first, but it can be lots of fun! And it changes how lots of things work right away. Now, into our lovely general bans:
     

    • Cloyster
    • Stakataka
    • Hoopa-Unbound
    • Aggron
    • Carracosta
    • Slowbronite (Mega Slowbro)
    • Water Bubble (water absorb Araquanid folks)
    • Huge Power
    • Omniboosting (not a tier ban, just your general Nations ban)

     

    Well these are just tier bans/suspects, but they apply to all nations. There are some specific bans to be revealed for matchups though. But now, here's some real juicy [REDACTED BECAUSE SWEARING IS BAD AND I NEED TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE] - UNBANS:

     

    • Aegislash (yes both of its forms ger reversed stats)
    • Blaziken (with Blazikenite!)
    • Darkrai
    • Naganadel
    • Pheromosa

     

    Aright we're through everything, questions in greeeeeeeeen, now let's go, matchups! Note the tiers and matchup specific bans are to be announced, since we're still waiting on a certain surprise (this is out so we can get rosters oof):

     

    MATCHUPS:

     

    I. ECLIPSE V/S LIGHT GAZERS

    OU - Tapu Lele and Landorus-Therian are banned

     

    II. SUN VALKYRIES V/S ZION

    OU - Zygarde is banned

     

    III. ZODIAC V/S POLARIS

    Ayyyyy you know how there's SnS Ubers on the server? That's right bitch. Being Ubers, yanno the banlist above? GONE. mostly. And without further ado:

     

    UBERS - Cloyster, Kyogre, Water Bubble and Huge Power are banned

    PokeNations 3

    Week 6: SHIFT FOCUS

     

    I'm sure you've been waiting for it for a while now: Tier Shift! For those who don't know, in Tier Shift, pokemon get all of their base stats increased by an amount that's determined by their Smogon tier. Take Celebi, for example: its base stats are 100 across the board originally, but in Tier Shift, its base stats are all 110! Here's how the changes work:
     

    • Pokemon in OU/UUBL get nothing and they'll like it
    • Pokemon in UU/RUBL get all of their base stats increased by 10 points
    • Pokemon in RU/NUBL get all of their base stats increased by 20 points
    • Pokemon in NU/PUBL get all of their base stats increased by 30 points
    • Pokemon in PU and below get all of their base stats increased by 40 points


    But, if you're unsure, you can still check out any mon's base tiers on Showdown, by typing this in any room: /ts [the pokemon's name]. Now, ban tiem:

     

    • OU banlist
    • Damp Rock is banned
    • DeepSeaTooth is banned
    • Eviolite is banned
    • In Eclipse-Zion, Minior and Araquanid are banned
    • Omniboosting Z-moves (Z-Celebrate, Z-Happy Hour, etc) are banned

     

    Again, questions in hulk. Now for the fun part:

     

    MATCHUPS:

     

    I. LIGHT GAZERS V/S POLARIS

     

    The glacial gladiators face The Light That Burns The Sky!

     

    II. ECLIPSE V/S ZION

     

    Will the night fall on the earthbound titans?

     

    III. ZODIAC V/S SUN VALKYRIES

     

    The soldiers from the heavens against the treacherous and the occult!

     

     

    All of these are to be played with every mon in OU and below. Now, time for the typical PSA:
     

    TO THE NATION LEADERS:  Matches will be 5v5 weekly on the Reborn Showdown Server. Please submit your rosters of FIVE participants and TWO substitute candidates for this challenge within the next 42 hours to your committee representatives. 

     

    REMINDER THE 6TH: Post your Replays of your Showdown matches in the Nations Discord server:  https://discord.gg/MjcGDzf

     

    Also: The 2-week rule is being held back now: the break week counted as a week, so since there were no battles, everyone can battle twice in a row from now on.

     

    Replays have to follow this format:

     

    Week No. 

    Player A vs Player B

    Win/Loss
