Weakness Cup Announced for Sun & Moon

Ready for a new challenge to take on in Pokémon Sun & Moon? The Weakness Cup has been announced and requires players to create a team of Pokémon that have 5 or more weaknesses! Some of those Pokémon considered too frail for normal usage may just get their time to shine. That’s not all though–players will also earn Ampharosite, Altarianite, Latiosite, and Latiasite Mega Stones if they participate in 3 or more battles! That means Mega Ampharos, Mega Altaria, Mega Latios and Mega Latias can be yours to use in Sun & Moon! The official site shares more details about the competition:

Registration for the Weakness Cup begins Thursday, July 20, 2017, at 00:00 UTC. The competition goes from Friday, July 28, at 00:00 UTC, until Sunday, July 30, at 23:59 UTC. Trainers will be limited to 15 battles per day.

It is also worth noting that according to Serebii.Net the battles will actually be double battles, not single battles.

Be sure to hit up the link for all the rules! May the WEAKEST Pokémon… WIN!

      Least: Magmotar and Kiawe

      It’s a very cool typing :0 at first I didn’t like it very much but the type ended up growing on me and it’s now on my top 5 favourite typings! They’re so cool looking, great moves and has a ton of interesting mons as well. I wish I could use more fire types than I usually use on my playthroughts

      Reply
    • Favorite: Flint/Emboar, most of the Fire leaders don’t suit my needs, and Emboar is my absolute favorite Fire Starter
      Least favorite: Flannery/Volcanion, I never liked her, and this thing pisses me off so much, it’s like Heatran 2.0 always using Steam Eruption and now it has Bloom Doom to counter ground types and why do these things carry Sludge Bomb

      Fire and me are comrades in arms, a powerful destructive force that won’t stop unless it’s stopped or completely burnt out,

    • FP: Blaziken. This is just a cool pokemon that shouldnt get any hate. First its a chicken! Thats OP. an OP chicken. That chickens has literally Flaming Kicks. The hair is amazing. The color is awesome. The cry is awesome. Its also over 6ft. Most cool mons are actually tiny, but this is giant! This thing is the OG Fire fighting. I just love it!
      FL: Flannery. Shes a hottie. She used torkoal before it was good, and she knew how to use it. I mean seriously Overheat Sunny Day White HErb Strat? Hello? This is in game 4th gym! Plus I like how shes trying to be something shes not

      LP: Emboar. I talk about it a lot. So lets make this short and sweet. Its ugly.
      LL: Chili. TBH i like most of the fire type leaders, hes only my least favorite because he always beats me in PWT.

      I like fire types definitely on the upper half. The Pokemon are generally cool, and the element is just awesome. They also do very well in battle. Too bad their worst enemy is SR. I could def be a fire type trainer

    • Fav:
      Flannery cause her arc is very relatable and she rocks that hairstyle like no tomorrow
      Typhlosion cause it rocks my socks and Ninetales cause it’s majestic af (both forms are majestic af tbh)
      Least Fav:
      Flint, just mainly being the least fav out of them all, like the others better
      Emboar cause reasons
      Thoughts: 3rd fav type overall behind psychic and dragon, really great designed mons

      Reply
    • Fav Mon: *cough* look at my prof pic *cough*
      Other than him, It’s probably Pyroar
      Least fav:
      I’d have to say Emboar, He’s ugly for no reason and no typing should be a starter 3 times in a row
      I really like Fire types, there’s something intresting about them, they have some personality

      Reply
    • Fire type leader? Simple, Flannery, she’s gr8
      Favorite fire mon: Victini. It’s cute af and was my favorite pre gen-7 Pokémon
      Least favorite fire leader: Flint because aren’t isn’t he supposed to use fire types? He has two fire types if I remember right
      Least favorite fire mon: Flaming kitty fursiit

    • Favourite ‘mon: Infernape, I just love its’ design, different styles of combat and it has imo one of the best character arcs in the anime. http://68.media.tumblr.com/8fbc1a1a932bac2280f2d09abcb2bdb1/tumblr_n372a7mZ8c1sqfocmo1_500.gif
      Favourite leader: Flannery, she’s hot (love her design, both original and ORAS), she has character and she’s pretty tough for a 4th Gym Leader even with 2 Pokemon with 4x Water Weaknesses. https://68.media.tumblr.com/73ef2fe11c5b2ca42b467ad129905c61/tumblr_ngoymbyRk11ttdkobo3_400.gif

      Least Favourite Pokemon: Magmortar. I don’t really like the Pink bits but could live with them if it still had its’ beak, instead of what look like hideous lips. I don’t really like its’ head in general, which is funny given what Magmars’ head looks like. I also don’t like the pink spikes on its’ back.
      Least Favourite leader: Chili, just bland really. It was between him and Flint for his Ronald MacDonald look but he actually has a challenging team.

      I love Fire types. It’s in my top 5 types and possibly my favourite. Yeah it has some common weaknesses, but it is overall a strong type and burns can be pretty useful. I like most of their designs and outright love some. I do think there is room to experiment with what sort of thing has the type. Some of my other favourites: Chimchar and Monferno; Charmander line including Megas; Alolan Marowak; Growlithe line; Vulpix line; Magby and Magmar (I don’t hate Magmortar); Flareon; Numel line (+Mega); Ponyta line; Moltres; Cyndaquil line; Slugma line; Entei; Ho-Oh; Houndour line (+Mega); Torchic line (+Mega), Torkoal; Primal Groudon; Victini; Litwick line; Volcarona; Reshiram; Fennekin; Litleo line; Salandit line. But I like pretty much everything in this type.

  2. I still have three boxes of competitively bred extra gen 7 mon and I SERIOUSLY want to just trade them already

    Reply
  3. Hypothetical: you’re a Pokémon trainer, and you’re given the choice of a Mega Ring or a Z-Ring. Which do you choose?

    Reply
  4. Huh I finally got to judge my Pokemon and I have from non trades and legendaries only 3 Outstading potentials

    Polibo the Politoed- Funny I tried to breed it to be competitive and it apparently was very good

    Ms.Diggs the Diglett- A random Diglwtt I caught

    My Spanish Doublade- This was traded to me as an egg before I beat ORAS and its now a lvl.50 Bad a$$ Doublade who is my False Swiper catcher!

  5. FFS MY IOS EMULATOR STOPPED WORKING AGAIN AND I LOST ALL MY METROID ZERO MISSION PROGRESS FOR THE SECOND TIME

    I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEATING IT

    Fucking hell…. I’m just going to skip it at this point. I’ll play all other games on my computer with a PS4 controller. I wont lose the rom and i’ll have better control

          • Oh yeah it totally is. I’ve had to use Kik to have a private conversation but now I cant because it updated and apparently I’m blocked from downloading anything 18+

            18+ includes:
            Youtube
            Google Chrome
            Kik

            makes sense /s

          • How is Yt 18+? It has a restricted mode Where you can’t even see thumbnails of 18+ stuff

          • Haven’t you heard the legends about the full lenght uncensored video of a mother giving birth on Grass?

          • I watched One a born every minute in primary 7 (like 11years old) kids these days can handle this ?

          • Jeez and I thought my parents were invasive. I had to use AOL as my internet browser for a while because it has parental controls. And every email I sent with it would get carbon copied to them as well :/. I later got upgraded to IE, which was more relaxed, and then Chrome which I use regularly. If I misbehaved, I would get downgraded to IE, then AOL. I hated it so much. I’d also have to sit at my desk, which is opposite my door, so they could see everything if they wanted.
            This was all years ago though, it all pretty much stopped when I entered high school. And now that I’m in college I’m pretty much on my own. I can do whatever and it’s great! I went to Disney with my girlfriend in the middle of last semester just because and they never knew 🙂

          • She’s never like this EXCEPT when she bought me my phone. It’s insane. She always threatens to put parental controls on everything I own randomly. Which would really fuck me over because then every single thing would be questioned. pokejungle, tumblr, deviant art, the youtube channels i watch. Even the figure drawing websites i use for practice.

            I’m never any trouble ever but she heres all these horror stories of children being taken away by strangers on the internet and apparently doesnt respect my intelligence enough to think I can probably tell when someone is crossing a line.

          • Bruh, I walk past dark scary places all the time, but walking along the road at night terrifies me for some reason (probably cause I think someone will park their car and force me in)
            Point is, people just need to stop being scared of everything. And that’s coming from someone who gets scared quite easily.

          • True tho, that’s why I avoid it, plus I am afraid of the dark so of course I get to my destination real quick, I do not play around.
            I just think it goes a bit far, especially when it’s with stuff that isn’t that scary/stuff that shouldn’t be scary if you know what you are doing

  6. well hey with Zero Mission… out of the way… I only have Zelda and Specter Knight left to finish and I’m done with all my current playthroughs.

    I CAN FOCUS ON THINGS OTHER THAN GAMES YAY

        • Pokemon alone I have

          Soul Silver
          X Poison Mono
          Sun
          Platlocke

          X and Sun are almost finished tho, so I’ll probably finish them before I go to camp on Saturday and then finish the remaining two after

          Reply
          • wow, I wish I could play all those games at once without getting overwhelmed or not finishing half of them

          • Sammmmeeee
            I have:
            W2 Nuzlocke
            Y Wedlocke
            Y Wonderlocke (took my older brother’s Y copy since my parents got him both X and Y and he barely played X so yeah I have two Y copies)
            and Sun Wonderlocke
            Wedlocke and Sun are before E4, Y Wonderlocke is at Terminus Cave-ish, and W2 I jsut finished grinding and about to face Drayden

          • it’s 4 like yours xD Then again, I have a couple of SBQ that just literally started, but those are meant to be more relaxful, like my shiny hunts
            My struggle is telling myself not to start another one when I have so many going on.
            Like I want to do a Platinum Nuzlocke, but I’m trying to discipline myself to finish at least two on this list before I start it.

  7. So apparently Marshadow is out in OU for a day and people are already preparing for it o go to Ubers
    Yay

  8. Every single masculine Pokémon I get is female
    Every feminine one is male
    Like for instance, my Pinsir is female and my Audino is male
    And it happens every time
    Even with starters, which is weird considering the gender ratios

  9. I really hope Kommo-o gains shell smash
    Mainly cause it will make it better
    And also because Kommo-o gets a move involving smashing

    Reply
  10. Speaking of
    Who the fuck designed Jangmo-o’s placement?
    Most pseudos feel special cause you need to raise them from their base forms for a long while before they evolve and finally become a powerhouse
    Jang is just …catch it ../ level it up five times… kommo-o

    Reply
    • Not if you breed it like I did, but I get your point if people are just catching it and evolving from there though.

      Reply
    • Not only that i wound up having to catch Hakamo-o because of the SOS

      And even funnier, I was SOSing Jangmo-o to see if it would call a Kommo-o and found a Shiny

  12. I just finished Specter of Torment and its probably my favorite of the Shovel Knight stories. He’s my favorite knight and the gameplay is great! Plague Knight took a while for me to really get used to but I picked up Specter Knight right away.

    I always loved the story in Shovel Knight. Never gets in the way of gameplay but characters are developed in a rad way whenever story does come. Hell, story is even worked into gameplay in Specter Knight in a really cool way.

    I had a 98% item completion so I really wanna finish that. I’m guessing its just the last Curio i missed.

    Overall… if you haven’t bought Shovel Knight yet, do it. Its so worth it.

  13. Talk about a difficulty spike…I’m not sure if this is the last area of the game or not but Cipher Admin Ein is last of the 4 admins in Realgam Tower and he keeps kicking my ass, while the other 3 were at least manageable. UGH
