Today is the start of the Pokémon World Championships in Washington D.C., where the worlds best battlers will fight it out to determine the World Champions of the Junior, Senior, and Masters Divisions.
While we won’t provide full live coverage (just updates along the way!) we’re providing our readers with a stream to watch to keep up-to-date on the latest. Later today we’ll all have an overdue announcement relating to the final round of our Tournament, keep your eyes peeled!
koreans really love to troll dont they :/
They sure do. Lol.
*Points at Mega Slowbro and Audino*
Pachurisu….too OP. Please Ban
dawn should be proud XD
If it gets a Mega, it over.
That intimidate lock was golden, and the way the front got rid of that was even better.
That Pachirisu is a tank and staller. Lol.
the evil rodent is dead >:D
I love Mega Gyarados a lot design wise. It’s nice to see one in this match!
And it’s doing really well! 😀
I like how glossy and sushi looking it is. :3
Yes! Mega Gyarados won! >:D
Nice AVI!
This battle… this tournament… is way beyond my level of expertise. Just… wow.
That flinch though.
I felt that flinch.
It felt so real it hurt. :O
This goes to show that any Pokemon can be used competitively if bred, taught, trained, and used properly under the right conditions.
That match was OMG! One of the best ones yet!
I’m pretty sure 100% of these competitors
get all of the ladies
Not just ladies, Pokeladies.
Especially that guy using a Pachurisu
When I saw it eat up that earthquake, I was like… DAMN!
It ate up like 3 earthquakes. From a Garchomp.
Which probably had Adamant, perfect attack IVs and max EVs.
Mmmeh. It was hp invested, and it didn’t look like it had that much in attack.
Perhaps Timid to make up for lost speed when it mega evolves.
Break time again.
Random Question: What is everyone’s favorite Mega to use competitively?
Aggron
for now mega venusaur
tho mega garchomp and or t-tar close second
For now: Mega Mawile. For ORAS: I think you already know. :3
Mega Audino will be an excellent support system with the boosted Defense and Special Defense it gets! And it can now learn Misty Terrain. Making STAB Dragon type attacks not as threatening! 🙂
Sadly, I can’t answer that question. I don’t battle competitively often.
To say Mega Mawile would be biased because that’s the only Mega I’ve used and that was in the story. 😀
I really like using Mega Banette, but I would like to experiment with other megas.
Altaria
But it hasn’t been used yet! 🙁
Hipster’s a hipster for a reason. 😀
I liked Altaria before it had a mega.
I liked Swablu line since I saw it in Hoenn anime
I used Altaria in the original Sapphire.
I really loved it’s design.
I was such a noob and didn’t know Salamence existed at the time I first played. I was only 9 years old at the time. But I totally have no regrets at all.
I had Salamence and Altaria in the same team in Emerald. I plan to recreate my Emerald team with a different starter than Blaziken, namely Sceptile.
I had Sceptile, Altaria, Medicham, and Wailord for my original Sapphire team. I was really into marine animals at the time of playing Sapphire/Emerald. I remember my Grandmother made me a book on aquatic animals and being so interested in it. I used a team of all Water types in Emerald. I’m surprised I never used Sharpedo because I really think it’s an awesome Pokemon. So I can’t wait to use it in Alpha Sapphire this time around. And because of Archie with his Key Stone, it may have a Mega Evolution! 😀
I would say Altaria too but I haven’t used one yet. 🙁 Lol.
Manectric, mawile, kanga
I haven’t really used Kangaskhan much, but I know it will be awesome. I also love using Mega Mawile. It has been my favorite Steel-type ever since Hoenn. 😀
Milotic 🙁
Which I would agree too, but it doens’t exist (yet! They’re hiding it on purpose!)
They are. As if that scan of it and the page on the official site wasn’t enough of a freaking tease. Lol.
PWC makes me sad because I’ll never get as many chicks as these guys do.
…
Hello Dae! Did you have a nice… day? 😀
How was Germany, Herr Chespin?
isnt dae a guy?
Herr means Lord
ah sorry
Check pic, pretty sums it up.
Sweet Arceus butter on rye bread.
Welcome back Sir Dae of Jungleland!!! 😀
Basically waiting with a bunch of people
nothing is as bad as comic con
Last year BF4 had two 6 hours queueus ten minutes after doors went open.
If you open the large pic and zoom in one the blue road sign, the queue continues a few 100 metres to the right.
that bald men is very short
It’s perspective, it was shot from above at an angle.
no u slender man 😀
As JoshJepson from Youtube would say, “It’s not supposed to go at an angle!”. 😀
Is Sejun still in the tournament? Or is he kicked out? D:
He won. With a Pachirisu…
He also got the best flinch at the best time but it isn’t cool enough to mention as the Pachirisu was OP
Sweet xD I missed that battle D: But I know he has a pachirisu xD
xD You should have watched it, they were great
Moveset run down? xD
Pachurisu with Super Fang, Nuzzle and Follow Me.
Talonflame with Quick Guard protected him from an opposing Talonflames BB which was genius.
I’ve seen that talonflame before xD But I was curious whether the pachirisu knew ion deluge with volt absorb xD
ohhh thats interesting
Didn’t see the final move I don’t think.
ty for the other moves 😀
-Erm for just pachi? I only found it using follow me xD with volt absorb to absorb some discharges and Tbolts
he ran a life orb Talonflame with Overheat and Brave Bird
-Mega Gyrados with Dragon Dance(He managed to pull off 2 in the 2nd match and swept with it) Waterfall
-Garchomp with Dragon Claw, Earthquake
He didn’t show all the moves for all the pokemon iirc
Pachurisu straight to ubers. Smogon plz
Random Question Still Relating to Pokemon: Who here has even used Mega Pinsir or Heracross? I really don’t see them at all, so just because something has a Mega, doesn’t mean it will be uber popular. In fact, I hardly see the first revealed Megas at all (minus Mawile)
Mega Pinsir looks really awesome design wise!
I’ve never used one though. And Mega Heracross just makes me lol.
But it’s Attack stat is NO joke!
Mega Pinsir is VERY good, I use it is an awesome cleaner
I only use it to False Swipe Ghost-types. 🙁
I use both. They’re really good, but some pokemon outperform them in ways.
Mega Pinsir is an amazing Sweeper with Jolly Nature, Swords Dance, Quick Attack, Return and Earthquake.
Mega Heracross is decent but it’s mainly used as a late game cleaner.
OMG Riosuke xD
Damn! Zapdos is invading these tournaments!
Just goes to show how popular Froakie was as a Starter.
I remember back in the days before XY were released, it was Fennekin.
And it’s only because Greninja has an awesome ability.
True. Dat Protean.
*Hidden
Wow… a forfeit. I guess he had little choice.
No use to stall it out, it made sense
That Hydreigon was quite good!
You don’t see them too often.
Did it even matter that that Dragon Claw was a Crit? 😀
it did cuz it was intimidated xD
Oh yeah. XD
Worlds gets me so inspired
To make a team
That doesn’t actually suck.
Same here! Haha.
Ryosuke showing why he was the runner up last year. That team is insanely powerful and bulky as hell
That Mega Charizard Y was a monster!
Most of these pokemon have very unconventional EV spreads. Not simple 252/252 stuff
It makes things quite interesting! 😀
Yeh I know. It’s interesting how certain things are trained to live certain moves. Like that Zard Y taking that Rock Slide
You will find the some players only add enough atk/spatk evs to OHKO specific stuff, no more no less. While the extra remaining Evs are put to defenses xD I.e that charizard surviving rock slide :p
Yep. I noticed that from Arash’s Mamoswine from last year. That thing had a very interesting spread, and I think he explained it at one point.
That’s a perfect example xD
Nerds.
I love Nerds Candy too 😀
I’ve been kinda getting into TCG, so I want to watch these TCG games.
On break again, so you know what time it is!
Random Question: What are you looking forward to the most in ORAS?
Battle Frontier
OMG! I really hope they include that!
Same here. :3
Move Tutors (If they were actually confirmed)
Battle Frontier
And Move tutors
Everything someone posts
I will say
Because I am looking forward to Everything
Mega Salamence
Someone else who likes Mega Salamence!
I’m not alone! Yay! 😀
Uh-oh! Sam better have a Burn Heal. Lol.
Who is Sam ? :O
Some guy competing in the TCG tournament. His brother made a cameo on the field report portion and said that the only thing Sam is good at is Pokemon. Lol. xD
Oh xD
Intermissions are so boring. The conversation just stops dead in it’s tracks here. Lol. Come on! Let’s start this thing up again! 😀
Come to chat
