Melody Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Greeting challengers! I trust all of our first challenges and first day has gone well? If not you suck will hopefully do better in the coming weeks! Tonight we're here again to do some much needing reveals, of course! We have here one of our returning leaders, whom I like to call Lil' Miss Attitude, although xe hates that... Ariel, and xyr ace, Sylveon!Summary:"Grace. Power. Short Tempers. These words can only describe Ariel, the destined monarch-to-be. Rebellious against xyr upbringings, Ariel prefers to spend time outside of xyr Palace, seeking a destiny to call one's own. After forcing xyrself past the Redemption League's recruitment offices, xe made quick friends and enemies of several leaders. But the disappearance of a particular leader this season has left Ariel very worried..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anstane Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Huh. I admit I did not expect the fairy leader to end up next. Then again, I've never participated here, so I don't really know what to expect. Huh, judging by those earlier reactions...is there something to expect?

Cyczer Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Fairy is one of strongest type in monotype. Why we have it so early? Wasnt expecting it till Bracket 3-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt expecting it till Bracket 3-4 The brackets are an indicator of leader ability, not mono-type strength, especially as many leader know how to cover their team's weaknesses *cough*Venus*cough*. Ariel's not a bad trainer per-se but the leaders in the higher brackets are more skilled than xem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anstane Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Is that the Psychic leader? Wow. I admit Fairy being low was a bit expected because, while powerful, they don't get much coverage to deal with their weaknesses. But I did not expect Psychic to end up this low. If that's not the Psychic leader, then I'm not sure which one it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the same person as Dexter, who was the Psychic Leader in S1 - so you are correct to assume that he is the Psychic Leader (I mean, look at his new Ace Pokemon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucker Punch basically annihilates the vast majority of Psychic sweepers and they don't have that many reliable counters against Dark types, as Focus Blast has a ridiculously low accuracy rating. Plus, Bug types have gotten extremely strong with the recent gens so that further makes the squishy type even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't exactly have many answers to Psychic-type except to just brute force my way through and taking advantage of secondary typings, so it might be tougher for me then for others.

The God Fist Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Wait, wasn't this guy one of the higher ranked leaders in S1? Now he's only in bracket 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a little late for that. 2 of the B1 gym leaders are already basically abusing the living hell of TR right now. 2 hours ago, The God Fist said: Wait, wasn't this guy one of the higher ranked leaders in S1? Now he's only in bracket 2. IIRC, he was a B6 leader but also had a very low win-rate as he had very few challengers. I thought that he'd fall a few tiers, but to fall directly to B2 is kind of unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazaro Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Tonight's final leader reveal of Bracket 2 is brought to you by the magnificent Bazaro. Bask in my glory! Bask! Haley: Ice A brilliant young girl, Haley grew up an orphan, caring for not only herself but her sister, Helen for 10 years. Self-educated in books and on the streets, Haley has grown to shut out the cold, unforgiving world around her, symbolized by the coat she seemingly never takes off. She often comes across as cold, but under the rough exterior beats a warm heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anstane Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Dammit I was hoping it wouldn't be Ice! I was hoping Ice could at least make it to Bracket 3! In seriousness, with all the buffs Ice got this gen, I really thought it could make it to a higher starting position.

Monochrome_Complex Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hayley is back in B2...but she's going to be even tougher than season 1. This B2 looks scarier than S2's B2. Hayley was notorious as the wake-up call boss so to speak in season 1. Though yeah the brackets aren't always consistent in terms of actual difficulty. Like Mira is seemingly better than Alicia from S1 despite being B1 instead of B2. Ninia was like B3 in S1 despite having worse W/L ratio than some of the lower brackets. It's more leader skill > type but at the same time some leaders don't always match up to their bracket placement. Really Hayley had zero business being in B1 last season. There was a notable gap between her and Nick/Olivia. Should've had Alicia there TBH, but I suppose that's why Mira is in B1 now instead.
