Ever felt like having 3 or 4 Pokémon on a team in official battles (singles and doubles, respectively) felt too crowded? Wanted things a little more… personal? Well Season 4’s Special Battle ruleset may be just up your alley. Although both trainers will register teams of 6 Pokémon, only one will be brought into battle for a head-to-head fight against the opposing trainer.
In this Rating Battle season’s Special format, Trainers will create a team of six Pokémon from the National Pokédex, excluding Mythical Pokémon and some Legendary Pokémon. You can use Poké Transporter to bring Pokémon into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon from previous games. Then, when the battle starts, each Trainer will select only one Pokémon to battle with. You’ll be allowed to use items, but Mega Stones, Z-Crystals, Focus Sashes, and Eviolite will not be allowed. The battles will have a five-minute match time, a 60-second Pokémon preview, and 15-second turn times. Expect speedy battles and plenty of surprises when each Trainer’s Pokémon hits the battlefield! See the Special Format Regulations for details.
This may be a great time to bring in your favorite Pokémon and fight as one a la Ash & Pikachu. Season 4 will run from May 16 at 00:00 UTC until July 17, 2017, at 23:59 UTC.
I also have to say I’m loving these Special Battles, they add a fun new dynamic to online play 🙂
There should be a butter pokemon
Simply one hell of a Pokémon
Of course! It could be a powerful Normal/Electric type with Fluffy ability. It could be a Legendary of the third version to Peanut Butter and Jam versions. It could be named Omniputurum (words Allmighty Butter in Latin mashed together. It would be the greatest of all pokemon!
More proof that Latin is useful 😛
This battle mode seems so fun °o°
Basically Whimsicott has the advantage
If you don’t have a poison or special sweeper or Dark/Grass type
Leech seed
Sub
Protect
And just spamming it until leech kills ya
It’s times like this I wish I had a legit Sucker Punch Golem…
Soooooo apparently a URL that puts “hoshi” in the game name part redirects to the main pokemon site. Hoshi means star lol hmmmm!!!!!
And apparently before SM were fully announced “niji” was also redirecting to the Pokemon website. Even more hmmmm!!!!! Lol
Hoshi-tachi ga furisosogu.

I apologise for the spanish subs, for some reason Spanish people love OP.
I love that song. OnenPiefe has some great music lol
One piece not…. Whatever I just said lol
Ok nevermind anything that ends in “i” redirects to the main website……..*sigh*……
R.I.P. the dream
Well it’s still not all lost, but that lead certainly is a goner lol
It’s not even going to be people using their favorites. It’ll be those filthy staller Pokemon that can bulk hits and let the opponent die of poison
Or the dreaded sub leech
My Magic Guard Clefable would be great for this, give it some leftovers, toxic, moon blast and a healing move and its all gucci
this also makes me an asshole
Tell that to a Steel type
please earthen, don’t be so predictable, its really annoying. Yes. Pokemon have weaknesses. Thank you captain obvious.
Then stop using fairies simple as that
oh please. They exist and are not going anywhere, why do you waste your time on such petty things?
We need a Poison/Steel type.
I made a living sludge ball that resides in a metal trash can
I call it Wastenaught
Hp fire
Heatran
Hp Ground.
No wait, air balloon .-.

Why did someone make this?
They’ve must be really bored
I swear Steel types should be easy pickings but always Heatran and Skarmory avoiding a groundy fate
. . . why is it a stage 2 of dialga?

Aside from stallers are also the 1v1 threats?
Fear strats
Counter/mirror coat
I’m partial to Sturdy Weakness Policy
I guess mythicals and non banned legends are a problem (looking at you Pheramosa)
Anything else
Choice scarf Final Gambiters
Mega Gross
Flail Aron
WOOOOOOOOO! YEAH! SUCK ON THAT ELLEN!

What is this?

It’s really cool. He is kinda a “tweeter celebrity” and he uses his “fame” to get money for charities. Ellen’s Oscar selfie was the previous record holder for the biggest amount of retweets, but now he has more than her (She was pissed of when he started, just imagine her now).
Never heard of either of them.
I’m glad someone remembers that there are still orphans around though. It annoys me that people with fertility issues are so quick to reach for IVF when there’s loads of parentless children already out there.
You’ve never heard of Ellen DeGeneres? The show host? The voice of Dory from Finding Nemo?
I’ve seen finding Nemo but I couldn’t name any of the voice cast, so nope.
Some kids made fun of me behind my back
I recognize their voices
I’d do something but I know they’re all growing up to be failures regardless
That’s a rather bleak way to look at the world, though that is the proper response. Be the bigger adult until they cross the line.
And they never will ;3
Poor fuckers have NO clue what I’m capable of
Not particularly – a bleak way to look at it is that they’re all worthless assholes, but worthless arseholes tend to get all the luck so they might just end up being someone’s manager someday. Meanwhile there are A-grade students working in supermarkets.
Ain’t life grand?
I mean more assuming that people who are assholes now will be doomed to live a crap life forever. I’ve had a lot of friends over the years who would be the sort of people that are described here and they’ve gone in different directions. One friend of mine actually kicked ass in college, maintaining a near 4.0 gpa and got a scholarship to study in pharmaceuticals and he was a jerk and one of the biggest put heads you would ever meet in High school. Another friend was similar, but ended up getting involved in petty crime and is in jail right now. Some people grow up and change, and others don’t. Its just simply kinda bleak to assume that these people are already doomed to failure in what I”m assuming is middle/high school.
Firstly, I have no idea how gpas are calculated because we don’t use them here, so I have no idea if 4 is good or bad.
I don’t know how many of the people I knew in secondary school are doing now since I’ve lost contact with every last one of them, but I briefly skimmed their facebook pages a while back and if they’re true then all the assholes are doing just fine.
Too put it simply a 4.0 is considered an A+, perfect score. So the closer you are the better off you are. a 3.0 is considered a perfect 3, 2.0 is considered a perfect C, ect. But yeah, I’m not going to pretend that a lot of assholes don’t change. Its just that its kinda 50/50. Some people realize their horrible and grow up, and others don’t.
Strange system.
Most don’t. Some people get worse, I used to be nicer and less apathetic.
Beat the shit out of them with a club
that’s my line
I wish!
Teachers won’t investigate unless there’s evidence and even then detention isn’t really a punishment.
“Bring back the cane” I say.
Physical abuse.. sure
At least it would be an actual deterrant and not something people just laugh at.
Can’t have a stick and carrot system when your stick is “you’re going to be sat there bored for an hour”.
Wouldn’t it be better to reward good behavior instead of hitting children?
They already do that, it doesn’t work. Too many people don’t care about rewards for behaving because they find misbehaving more gratifying than some poxy trinket.
the way the world is today, the victims would probably end up with the blame and the punishment
Eh, maybe.
In my experience teachers usually just sit back and don’t do anything rather than dishing out punishments or resolving things. (Admittedly though, that worked in my favour once.)
I still think there needs to be a better deterrent than detention. If people aren’t worried about a deterrent then it’s as if the deterrent isn’t even there and they’ll cause others grief to no end.
oghhhhhhh omfg finally home!

I’m stuck at that part where the Goron follows you. Like, I haven’t even tried anything yet, but everything I’m like ehh, no interest in this, but I have to do this to progress in the game. So now MK gets all the attention now :P.

Found this gem on Reddit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ3llRgQul8
I want to beat this guy with a stick attached to a rock
.-.
his voice is like ear sandpaper and not the fun kind
One of the reasons I almost never watch footage of people playing games on youtube – obnoxious idiots talking over the game with their awful ineloquent voices.
Would you listen to my smooth semi-deep voice as i scream at pixels?
“Smooth” and “scream” seem like a contradiction in terms.
Watch Game Grumps. The only good let’s players
I watched an animation they did once, it was meh.
And it’s still people talking over top of the gameplay.
Why in the world are people so freaking so stupid? lol
Please tell me that was drug enduced and he doesn’t normally think and talk like that.
it’s time to fight thunderblight!
AND I ALREADY DIED
I’ll inform your next akin’s akin

Damn, that would have been a nice bonus.
Oh well, can’t win them all.
One on One competition. Quite the challenge. Im pretty good at 1v1s.

yeah humanz r weird. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1494334736354.png
R.I.P
Pepe
Pour one out for the anti-Semitic frog.
I don’t understand the Fire-Fighting hate either.
I can understand hating Emboar’s design, but Blaziken and Infernape are good.
It’s a good type combination, it’s just overused and people wanted something different.
Pure Water and pure Grass are equally overused though.
Emboar is my favorite starter……
I don’t dislike it myself, I can just understand why others do.
Compared to Samu-snot it’s infinitely superior.
As for Serperior, I can never decide whether to like it or not, it doesn’t look right. It reminds me of some strange banana thing.
Meh. Pignite and Tepig are great Emboar is a little on the odd side
Ah but you see.Grass and Water both have year gaps somewhere.
Plus Emboar looks disgusting
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/905/647/a57.gif
Keep crying. Porkchop. Keep crying
Aww look at that face, Tepig is an adorable little guy. All he wants is someone to care for him ;~;
Emboar is good to me it’s looks like genie …..u know genies r our siblings.
yep.. thunderblight is screwing me
