PJT’14 Analysis

 

With all battles finished and over, I wanted to compile Pokémon used in PJT’14 and write an article about it. This isn’t the last article on PJT’14, though. We’ll have a few participants writing their own report on their teams and opponents!

 

Top 10 Pokémon used in PJT’14

[spoiler]

#1 Aegislash

Schrödinger’s sword and shield

aegislash-blade aegislash

50% Weakness Policy

25% Leftovers

12.25% Shell Bell

12.25% Metal Coat

To me, this comes as a surprise, but at the same time, not so much.I remember before the tourney started, a lot of people were talking about how everyone was going to use Mega Kanga or  Mega Gengar, or some other pretty OP stuff. In that sense, The fact that Aegislash was the most used Pokémon took me by surprise.(although Aegislash is also in Ubers). With that being said, we all know how good Aegislash is. It’s versatile, while being very punishing to those who get caught up in mind games or make the wrong decision. Judging by the items, most went with the offensive type, trying to shave off some Pokémon, whether it be a wall or sweeper, in a reliable fashion.We do, though, see more defensive items handed to Aegislash, such as Leftovers. I assume that this type of Aegislash focuses more on switching into good match ups to wreak some havoc, and then switch out to come back out later.

#2 Charizard

Please don’t Rock Tomb

charizard charizard-megax

100% Charizardite X

5 out of 5 Charizards decided that Char X was the way to go. The winning team by Maple featured Char X as it’s main offensive Pokemon, and it’s worth mentioning that 4 out of the 5 people who used Charizard passed round 1 in the tournament, suggesting it’s greatness.Most of the Char X’s in the tourney sported a Dragon Dance set, with Earthquake as their 3rd attacking move aside from Outrage/Dragon Claw and Flare Blitz, presumably to take care of Heatran and deal some damage to Azumarill.

#2 Togekiss

All You Need Is Flinch

togekiss (1)

40% Kings Rock

20% Leftovers

20% Shell Bell

20% Bright Powder

Somewhat of an odd ball on this list, those who used it seemed to aim for an edge in luck whilst tanking favorable hits. Besides the obvious Kings Rock, we see that a lot of the items are helpful in providing an opportunity to take an extra hit, meaning more times to Air Slash. I’m surprised that Sitrus Berry was not used by anyone, as that provides another way of getting that extra air slash on your opponent.

#4 Greninja

Fickle Ninja

greninja

60% Expert Belt

20% Life Orb

20% Kings Rock

 

#4 Garchomp

Masuda is my dad

garchomp-f garchomp-mega

50% Garchompite

25% Choice Scarf

25% Life Orb

 

#4 Chansey

#4 Clefable

50% Leftovers

25% Rocky Helmet

25% Mental Herb

 

#4 Gengar

100% Gengarite

 

#4 Mamoswine

#4 Rotom

#4 Scizor

50% Life Orb

25% Scizorite

25% Iron Plate

 

#4 Skarmory

skarmory

5o% Rocky Helmet

25% Sitrus Berry

25% Safety Goggles

 

#4 Venusaur

Chronic Talonflamitis

venusaur-fvenusaur-mega

75% Venusaurite

25% Black sludge

[/spoiler]

13  Pokémon when it’s top 10!? What is this nonsense! I thought it was better to cover all the Pokémon that tied in usage rather than to leave it at strictly 10 Pokémon, just for curiosity sake. One random fact: Nidoking and Nidoqueen were both used once , on separate teams.

  1. #1 Aegislash is surprising I would have never guessed. I liked this article NL and lol’d at “Chronic Talonflamitis”. If anybody wants to see a good battle video my matchup with MenacingCascoon was pretty fun! Also first.

  2. Unrelated to the article but is the Fly HM gone in Pokemon ORAS? Seems kinda pointless to have it in since you can fly around the Hoenn region using Lati@s.

  4. I’d die happy if USA got mega Jynx or Flygon and Europe got mega Seviper Zangoose.

    Basically I just want megas for them. Gimme gimme.

    Didn’t add mega milotic. Because I’ve said that enough. And milotic will get a mega coz Milos are sexy.

  8. So my brother, my dad, and I went to gamestop to get the serial code and pick up the Gengar Spirit Link Preview 2 Pack for the TCG.

    Here’s what I pulled:
    Flashfire: Nothing good
    Furious Fists: Crap

    Here’s what my brother pulled:
    Flashfire: Charizard EX regular
    Furious Fists: Lucario EX regular

    Hey Siri, where is the best place to dispose of a dead body?

  12. According to the “data hackings”
    there will be Mauville city, along with
    New Mauville
    and
    Sea Mauville
    Which is actually spoken about in the demo
    And instead of battle frontier we get “battle resort”
    Which could basically be the frontier.
    Or a mistranslation like the “multinav” instead of “pokenav plus”
    Also, if these are correct, it means no mega milotic. Sorry guys :/

  13. “Mega Hoopa” looks nothing like Hoopa.
    Usually, Mega Evolutions bring slight alterations to the Pokemon.
    This practically turns hoopa from a little elf to a big ass robot thing.
    I don’t buy it.

    Reply
  14. The leaks are fake. There will definitely be more megas. Maybe Hoopa is legit and the whole Mauville thing, but there will be more megas found at release. I am positive. There were many in X and Y, so there should be some in ORAS as well.

    Reply
  15. I’m back from beating ORAS. Mega hoopa? Not legit. To be honest we were all trolled. The game doesn’t even take place in Hoenn. Oops.

  17. maybe if you play the demo every day Steven will let you soar in the sky and you’ll witness firsthand one of Hoopa’s Hyperspace Holes and engage in a chase and lead it to a spot where you either battle it or it joins you

    Reply
    • honestly as much as i liked the battle Arcade
      its way easier with the battle tower system, you fight in a straight line and rank up BP for competitive items

      Reply
    • honestly Mega Hoopa should just get a little bit bigger and have tons of rings around its body

      the rings float around and hoop sends them off in erratic directions and it could pop into one and strike you from anywhere

      or go Tira from Soul Calibur

  20. I looked more at this site and their rom cracking exploits, and I saw they included something about ribbons. I am still wondering what will happen if you transfer a pokemon with “contest memory ribbon” to OR/AS. Will they revert to having all the ribbons they used to have? or has this data already been irreversibly dropped? Also I sure as hell hope my extremely cute Groudon from the original Ruby, is still extremely cute with a full sheen when I check his contest stats.
