Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted January 26, 2017 Global Mods Share Posted January 26, 2017 You can battle the leaders in any order up to the highest bracket you can challenge, so you don't have to face Nick first or Olivia second. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarun 29 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 1 hour ago, Fumble said: well, the leaders are ranked by their capability and success rates, and electric/grass are considered some of the worse monotypes (especially w/o legendaries for electric, rip Tapu Koko and Zapdos) and plus they were first and second last season too so ye although i was hoping Olivia went up a bit since she has Megas (cough Venusaur) to abuse now but oh well Pretty much. Electric-types often have very poor coverage in general so this means that basically any Ground-type surrounded by a good core can easily wreck an Electric-type team, meanwhile Grass-types have several weaknesses and aren't that strong offensively, creating a lot of opportunities for sweeping.

Jericho 114 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Leaders are not cemented into their bracket. Multiple times throughout the course of season 2 they'll be rebracketed where deemed appropriate by the redemption team Link to post Share on other sites

Grass types' biggest issue I feel is their limited ability to deal with their weaknesses. Megazard Y especially is a massive pain to deal with and every grass type that can deal with him is really slow. Like it's possible to beat a flying team with a grass team but beating fire with grass is like really really hard to pull off. Thing about grass is that you can't rely on simply overpowering your opponent since it's likely not going to happen. Usually you need to wear them down slowly with status/life drain/hazards then have your heavy hitters clean up if possible, but regardless the type demands a patient playing style. Grass can actually be quite resilient when their weaknesses aren't exploited due their recovery options and ability to hinder opponents with status, helps that a few of them have reasonable bulk too. I think Megasaur is a good rep of the grass style and it helps that his ability lessens some of grass' defensive weaknesses, though he still falls victim to some of the bigger threats to the type.

Melody 154 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 You also need remember that none of this is intentional, and that since all leaders can change around, it's more than likely if they do well they'll just go up and up if they hold more and more wins as well. As previously stated, no one is cemented in place...Now if they lose to the same consecutive mon due to not having a reliable counter on the other hand, that will also be addressed. *cough* so will repetitive mon strategies as well.In other news, whom would like to guess the next type after Electric and Grass and what their ace is?

Nyaagisa The Maid 84 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Are the leaders restricted to the same roster and moves like the players? Just curious... I'm no Cacturne btw Spoiler Here we go, again, with this pic. Since no one stopped me. Link to post Share on other sites

Fairy? Ghost? idk tbh with gen 7 stuff + Megas I doubt it's Ice, to be honest. Gen 7 has made Hail teams significantly stronger by buffing Beartic as 130 attack and Slush Rush makes him a pretty dangerous sweeper in hail, plus Aurora Veil has given the type a lot of bulk, which was one of Ice type's weaknesses. Also Haley did have a pretty high win-rate for a b1 leader, so I'd imagine that Ice will go up a few ranks this season. Link to post Share on other sites

Melody 154 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 So, frends here we are again friends, a day later...Sorry! And I'm here to show you the next big thing except she's tiny...! So this one will be a little different...The picture is going to be hidden, and you're going to have to find it somewhere~Summary:Innocence at its purest, Mira is a strange little girl on a quest for friendship. Trapped in denial of her own demise, this poor ghost girl wonders why no one can look her in the eye anymore. No one knows when or how she died, or who she even was when mortal, only that she's a girl on a mission to spread love and joy. And Arceus save us from this loving spirit's wrath...Hint: "Mira wants to play a game! We will play hide and seek! Mira will hide somewhere in this thread. Count to 30!" P.S.S. - She is GHOST, for those of you who don't notice. #DoneAF Link to post Share on other sites
