Top 8 Team Report — Trappin’ like a Bawse [RIOSpeedWagon]

Trappin’ like a Bawse

Team Report: Top 8 PJT ‘14 Participant
Rio Hindami

(WARNING: A LOT OF READING LEL)

Alright, Hello, everyone! As most of you know who I am in the PJ.net community, my username is @RIOspeedwagon. I’ve been a member of PJ for over a year now, but I have lurked in the murky water on the site for a lot longer like about 2-3 years during the beginning hype of BW. I first “joined” PJ as a guest during the IAMTHELEAKER incident to help debunk and learn more “rumours” from him (I kinda credit myself for his downfall when I asked him to leak some of the dex, but he messed up so it didn’t match with his previous statements). However, I actually joined a couple days before XY were released for the sole purpose of getting friend codes for FS (sorry!) but I stuck around because the people were great and so was the community! A decision I don’t regret today.

When I got wind of the possibility of a tournament being hosted at PJ, I was super excited! 6th gen was the gen that got me into competitive battling since XY made breeding so much easier than past gens; I felt like I had a chance and I wanted to marvel and learn from other people’s team and strategies. Many months later, I was even more excited when I got confirmation as a participant! And now here I am with a team report about my team and experience participating in the first ever PJT. (Thank you NL for the opportunity and suggestion!)

 

THE TEAM

[spoiler]

 Mienshao

Mei-Shi (Mienshao) F @ Life Orb

Ability: Regenerator

EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Jolly Nature
– Fake Out
– High Jump Kick
– Knock Off
– U-Turn 

Hit and Run. This would usually be my lead to break sashes with Fake Out. I was kinda disappointed with Mienshao’s performance. Particularly during the Elimination Rounds, I always had Mienshao in the back as it was a bad match up against my opponents’ lead and didn’t really rely on it much during the whole match due to its frailness. Despite this, Mienshao did great what it did during my battles:knock off items on predicted switches or U-Turn switch on predicted switches. Plus, Mienshao is one of my favorite Pokemon :3 I chose Mei-Shi as its name because I originally had a different Mienshao with the name Shao Lee but it had “improper” IVs so i bred a new and with help from the PJ community, Mei-Shi was born (it sounded cool)!

 

 Entei

Some Japanese words (Entei) @ Choice Band

Ability: Pressure

EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Adamant Nature
– Sacred Fire
– Stone Edge
– Extreme Speed
– Stomp

Wallbreaker. Entei was an excellent choice on my team since I needed a burn absorber, burn spreader, Sableye check (I had a feeling it would run rampant), fire type move attacker and priority attacker. Entei had the all-round perfect package for my team. Spamming Sacred Fire and getting burns was a satisfying feeling to have. Extremespeed and Choice Band made Entei an effective revenge killer. Stomp was chosen over Bulldoze because the possibility of having to face Minimize shenanigans is not my cup of tea (stares at Jordin).

 

Mamoswine

 

Mammy (Mamoswine) F @ Focus Sash

Ability: Thick Fat

EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Jolly Nature
– Stealth Rock
– Icicle Spear
– Ice Shard
– Earthquake 

Revenge Killer or Rocks. Mamoswine is a huge asset to my team. Its role is either to set up rocks and tank a hit/predicted switch or revenge kill a Pokemon. Rocks were a crucial play in my match against HeavyMetalFairy and Chaos. Focus Sash either allowed me to set up rocks wand was guaranteed to survive or, as I said earlier, revenge kill a Poke and live. Hazards on my side lessened the viability of Mamoswine in those matches but it still did a great job killing off Dragons. The reason behind Jolly Nature and 252 Speed is because I wanted to be faster than other base 80’s such as Breloom. Mammy as a name because it’s a girl and it rolls off the tongue well.

 

 

 　

Gengar (Gengar) M @ Gengarite

Ability: Levitate >>> Shadow Tag

EVs: 4 HP/252 SpAtk/252 Spe
Timid Nature
– Taunt
– Shadow Ball
– Sludge Bomb
– Perish Song 

Stallbreaker. GENGAR TOO OP PLZ NERF LULZ. But seriously, M-Gengar is no joke. I originally had M-Gyarados as this slot but I needed an answer to Stall teams, Baton Pass teams as well as another special attacker so I chose M-Gengar. Sorry if its broken in your eyes bros (specifically UmbreonLifts #NoRagrets) but rules aren’t Smogon based. I knew Stall will be a big problem, something I hate to face so M-Gengar was a perfect solution. Very clutch in my battles against HeavyMetalFairy, UmbreonLifts, and Chaos (Alice as well if a certain something didn’t happen… you’ll see). Oh and it’s shiny which makes it even more cooler and broken (Thanks Heavy!)

 

 Clefable

Emmeryn (Clefable) F @ Rocky Helmet

Ability: Magic Guard

EVs: 252 HP/132 Def/124 SpDef
Bold Nature
– Moonlight
– Cosmic Power
– Moonblast
– Stored Power 

Wall-er. With the addition of Fairy types added into the games, Clefable rose from the ashes of the NU normal type Pokemon to being one of the best Fairies there are.Clefable role on my team was to act as a wall and a physical deterrent with Rocky Helmet. I know that Rocky Helmet may seem like an odd item to use on Clefable compared to like Life Orb or Leftovers, but it works. With a couple Cosmic Powers under its belt, Clefable can tank a hit back with either Moonblast or Stored Power whilst healing with Moonlight. Steel types, however, kill Clefable. Good thing is, most of them are physically based *cough* Mega Mawile *cough* so they take damage from Rocky Helmet. Nicknamed Emmeryn from Fire Emblem Awakening (I recommend you to try it out! 9.5/10)

 

 Hydreigon

Robyn (Hydreigon) F @ Assault Vest

Ability: Levitate

EVs: 252 SpAtk/4 SpDef/252 Spe
Modest Nature
– Dragon Pulse
– Dark Pulse
– Fire Blast
– Earth Power 

“Special Wall” and Versatile attacker. Hydreigon is bae (along with Shakira and Lucina). I originally had a Timid one with Flash Cannon instead of Earth Power but I decided to switch because it wasn’t really out speeding anything at it’s awkward speed tier and I needed more power/coverage. Assault Vest may seem like an odd choice of item on Hydreigon but trust me, it works (again). It can survive a Life Orb boosted Ice Beam from a Timid Greninja at full health and KO it back with Fire Blast. It’s used as a secondary special wall on my team as it can absorb not very effective moves such as Flamethrower, Scald, and Thunderbolt retaliate back. It’s named Robyn from the default name of the Avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. It fit perfectly with a certain dragon in the game (; Thanks Regidudem for the idea![/spoiler]

 

EXPERIENCE AND BATTLES

Alright, so I got randomly chosen to be in the Undella Group with HeavyMetalFairy, UmbreonLifts, Edgaroth, and simkenno. Honestly, I was really nervous for the tournament to start since I had HMF and UL as opponents. Heavy is known for his scary Geomancy Pass and I lost to Umbreon in a tourney hosted by StarBits a couple months back because of STUPID SLOW(HOE)BRO. That poll hosted by RocketClauncher didn’t help my nerves at all once it was nearing the start of the tournament as HMF gained the lead in the votes. I was pretty psyching myself out with my team and felt like I regret not using other Poke’s instead. However, everything settled down when I started my first battle with Heavy.

VS HeavyMetalFairy

Code: N/A (Thanks for DC before I could save the vid ;~;) 

Whew, Heavy’s team doe. We talked earlier before the group battles started on Twitter about the tourney and Heavy was dropping hints of what his team strategy was about during our talk. I connected the dots and came to the horrifying conclusion of what his team is about: A FULL BATON PASS TEAM. These teams are completely evil (learned from Showdown before the Baton Pass nerf) and I was just glad I had an answer to his team: M-Gengar. His full roster was Scolipede, Smeargle, Vaporeon, Sylveon, Mr. Mime and an unknown (forgot but I probably remembered if I HAD THE VID. I also took notes on the battle just for this purpose but I lost them somewhere…).

So let’s see if I can remember this off the top of my head. He lead with Scolipede (typical BP starter) and I led with Entei just for that reason. He started off with substituting and I Sacred Fire. Then the same thing happened again. I switched out to Gengar while he Iron Defense’d/Substitute’d(?). Now I mega’d, but he baton passed to his Mr.Mime while I used Perish Song but got blocked out by Soundproof. Smart play because in the next turn, he used Encore with his super-fast Mr.Mime so i used PS again. I swapped out to Entei I believe and he Calm Mind’ed. I swapped back out to Gengar and he sets up again. This turn was crucial. He Substituted or something and I Taunt’ed him. Next turn, I find out that he had no attacking moves so he struggle’d. It was an awesome feeling! All his boosts are trapped and he needs to start all over again. Mr.Mime dies to struggle and Sludge Bomb so I believe he sends out Scolipede again idk. But the rest of the match was a blur because pretty much M-Gengar rekt his whole team with a combination of Taunt and Perish Song. I remembered i only lost one member (Hydreigon to Sylveon) and the battle ended with me winning. However, Heavy disconnected after the battle was over but before the “Save battle video” screen popped up to my dismay. I was happy nonetheless cause i BEAT A FREAKING BP TEAM and I had one win under my belt. Heavy was a great opponent and I feel bad to whoever faced him after me (Edgaroth and Umbreon).

VS UmbreonLifts 

Code: 2LZG-WWWW-WWW8-NZ4B

Ugh, stupid Slow Hoe. Slowbro was a pain in my butt the whole match with T-Wave, Scald, and Regenerator. I got some major hax with paralysis. Umbreon was another pain to deal with but luckliy Gengar’s Taunt shut it down and it could only struggle. Mienshao did a great job in this match as well as Clefable. M-Gengar has to be the MVP of this match due to how well it dealt with Umbreon, Chansey and Garchomp. TOO OP 4 U LIFTS lel. Enjoy the long match.

VS Edgaroth

Code: 7UFG-WWWW-WWW8-PX5G 

Edgaroth’s team worried me because of how unique and the underused Poke’s he was using. The battle was pretty straightforward. Clefable tank’d out Greninja and Volcarona was really scary with its Heat Wave. Hydreigon was MVP of this match. bae <3

VS simkenno

No battle 🙁 simkenno had a family death right when the tourney so he dropped out. Sorry about your loss simkenno! I’m expecting a battle in the future to make this up or your know, an early copy of ORAS (;

Now since the group battles were officially over with me winning 4-0 with a bye, I was feeling really confident with myself! Now onto the Elimination Rounds…

VS Chaos

Code: K2UW-WWWW-WWW9-9YZP

This was an interesting battle. I heard talk that Chaos was running the same Mega as mine but in this battle, it turns out he has a Mega Aggron. His team had the right amount of balance and bulk with Clefable Wish Passing, Scarf Magnezone trapping Steels, and the defensive behemoth Mandibuzz. Magnezone gave me huge troubles in this match because it was scarf and I had nothing to take its hits. I had great switches and double switches in this match. Stealth Rock was a major factor in me winning this match. Chaos was a worthy opponent and he currently still is with his rain team ;~;

VS Alice

Code: ZG6G-WWWW-WWW9-B4M2

Oh boy, this battle ;~; I just felt like crying after this battle (not really but maybe) especially since it was my last one. I lost this battle. Alice had a very Smogon-esque team. She had the coveted Dragon-Fairy-Steel core with a Stealth Rock setter and a Special and Defensive wall. She was really well rounded and played smart. I,however,  made a horrible misplay in this match that potentially costed me the match. Let’s just say M-Gengar was not the MVP in this battle ;~; I played really badly in this battle. I’ll let you guys see the video to find out. GG to Alice! A formidable foe!

Closing Remarks

I had a LOT of fun battling in this tourney and I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate. All my opponents varied in strength and strategies which made the experience even better! If there was anything I could change to my team after going through this tourney would be changing Jolly to Adamant for Mamoswine and teach Flamethrower to Clefable instead of Stored Power. And with that, here is the conclusion to my team report and experience with PJT ‘14.

I am looking forward to future tourneys being hosted by PJ and all the experiences that follow. Special thanks to NL for the idea of this team report and a big thanks to moving for coordinating this tourney! Peace out everyone! Follow me on @HydreigonHero for battles/trades and my giveaways 🙂

  8. Very interesting read Rio. Heavy’s team looked scary as hell :O

    For the record I had 2 megas in the tournament. Mega Gengar and Mega Aggron. I would choose which one would benefit me more in each battle. But the downside to this was that it made the Pokemon I didn’t mega quite useless.

  36. WOW, Rio, this is awesome! Loved your write up and can’t wait to see more articles like this. PJ definitely needs more competitive talk. I watched the video with Alice and it made me so sad 🙁 That sludge bomb…I love your team tho xD I had faced you quite a few times before the tourney so I was eager to see your final choices. Congrats on making it as far as you did! I lost early in the elimination round but I’m not too disappointed because I lost to Maple who eventually won the whole thing. Gonna start breeding ASAP, got hyped for the next tourney after reading this 😛

  65. Prologue to me and Gentleman’s PokeJungle Fan Fiction.

    Once upon a time, there lived a goat named Gonvah. He lived in a small town called Disqusville. He was walking along the street when a man jumped out from an alleyway.

    “DO YOU WORK FOR NL?”, the man shouted.

    “w-w-w-hat are you talking about!!!”, stuttered Gonvah.

    “I KNOW WHO YOU ARE”, shouted the man.

    “w-w-w-ho are you!”, Gonvah said, scared.

    “I AM IAN. BUT YOU CALL ME SIR.”, Ian screamed as he started to move his

    “w-w-w-hat are you doing!” said Gonvah.

    “YOU ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS! SHUT YOUR YAP YOU STUPID GOAT, said Ian. I’M HERE TO TAKE YOU TO THE MASTER. HE WANTS TO ASK YOU SOME… questions… MUAHAHAHA”

    Ian took out a leather sack from the backpack he was carrying, picked Gonvah up with one hand, and stuffed him into the sack.

    “You’re coming with me buddy…” said Ian quietly.

  81. Alignment Time, D&D Style! Tell what alignment you feel like and give an approximate alignment.

    I feel as though I am a True Neutral, because I am too indecisive on choices and even though I’m not evil, will make make some bad choices. It’s human nature. I’m so plain, XD.
    Realistically, I may be a Chaotic Neutral, because I can be impulsive and out on a whim, but not intending to harm anyone or damage anything.

    Which alignment would you place me, or you don’t know me well to tell?

  82. 5 facts about me:

    1) Altaria, Sceptile, Chesnaught, Mega Mawile, and Milotic are my top 5 favorite Pokemon
    2) I will never ever post a picture of me online, so if I ever joke I posted a selfie, I am lying
    3) I’m actually new to competitive battling in terms of actually battling. I haven’t had friends to battle with, so instead I would spend my time reading about different ways to train Pokemon. Then X/Y and commenting on Pokejungle happened, and I got into actually battling. I love you all for this reason
    4) I enjoy playing and watching sports, mainly baseball and football. My two favorite teams are the Mets (Baseball) and Steelers (Football)
    5) I wish I could become part of the Pokejungle staff, but I do not have the time to contribute to the site and write articles

    1) I have been in competitive battling since G/S generation, and as such all I mainly care about is battling.
    2) I’m a sucker for intricate strategies and complexity in game mechanics, but am a really emotional person, and so a story that makes me cry will always win me over.

    3) I am a huge Zelda, Fire Emblem, and currently but forever will be Xenoblade fan.

    PS: Stall will always be the most superior strategy in competitive battling. To hell with offense and stallbreakers!

  96. This is completely random, but since we’re in the weird talk of PJ now, I just wanted to say last year I learned that there’s a tree that blossoms and smells like muk. I was amazed, because I was walking and the scent was really strong. It’s called the Callery Pear, or Pyrus calleryana.

  136. You know, I just want to say that you guys are awesome.
    I absolutely love this community and being a part of it makes me feel better than ever. It seems that before PJN, there was just… something missing in my heart, but I think I have found that missing piece; true friends that share common interests with you.
    We go through the amazing times and the rough times too, but most importantly we do it as one; one community; one large family.
    And I’m blessed to say that I am part of that one large family.
    I love you guys, and no matter what, I will never leave you.
    <3 Dicie
