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!

  1. I really don’t think it’s realistic that I’ll ever beat Realgam Tower, it’s ridiculously difficult. Maybe I should just move on to XD…

  2. PSA: If you own a PS4 and you don’t mind some blood and gore, Until Dawn is a MUST-PLAY. I’ve had it in my shelf for ages and finally played it yesterday/this morning (and beat it in two sittings). Honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played, and I’ll definitely play again with a new storyline.

    • Fav: Braviary and Falkner
      Very cool and American bird and a well designed and cool trainer

      Least: Mandibuzz and Winona
      Both are boring to me

      I’m kinda neutral on Flying types, but I tend to like them just by the fact that a good chunk of them are birds, and birds are bae

      • Wait, I forgot Kahili existed, she is definitely in my top spot :0 I like her personality so much! She’s even one of my favourite E4!

    • No favorite Flying type users/Aerodactyl, I hate nearly every flying type out there except my beautiful savage prehistoric killing machine
      Skyla/Celesteelia: FUCK SKYLA AND FUCK HER AIR BATTLES AND FUCK THAT SKARMORY WITH LEECH SEED, FUCK IT SO HARD THAT IT GETS RUINED FOR LIFE

      Flying types are my freaking polar opposite what did you expect. And lately Flying types are becoming much more defensive and that makes my job a hell lot worse

    • F Pokemon- This may be hard since I was going for Primary types only for this and least favorite section, so I will count secondary. Anyway. ORICORIO. Idk if Im just going through a phase, but I freaking love Oricorio. Its such a amazing Pokemon. The forms are awesome. Its cute. and I have a shiny one.
      F Leader- Winona. I love her elegance and grace. Shes so pretty too. and in Emerald DD/EQ/Aerial Ace. is op.

      LP- Celesteela- Hate this thing. Its just sooo annoying to battle against. Normally I dont have a problem with stall, but this pokemon is UGLY and stalls.
      LL. Skyla. Meh like most leaders, so shes just my least favorite.

      Thoughts. This may be very bias, but I just LOVE birds. Birds are so cool, so I love flying types. They all have amazing and colorful design, just like birds. They are definitely top half of favorite types.

    • Fave Pokemon: Hopip line, Staraptor, Honchkrow, Oricorio… ( I like birds a lot D: )
      Fave Leader: Skyla (I also REALLY like Kahili as well. I wish she got more character development)

      Least Fave Pokemon: Celesteela (I don’t dislike any flying type though)
      Least Fave Leader: Falkner (He is meh)

    • Fav:
      Honchkrow/Staraptor – powerful birds, really great designs
      Skyla, I love her personality whenever she appears, she’s adorable
      Least Fav:
      Leddyba/Ledian- just don’t care for them
      Winona, she didn’t leave a solid impression on me
      Thoughts: In the middle for me, love all the unique designs tho

      Reply
      • Reminds me of Ledian’s Smogon entry
        “Ledian is totally outclassed and cannot merit a slot on any serious team, as Meowstic and Ninjask do everything that Ledian can better defensively and offensively, respectively. It has terrible offensive stats, which nullifies its large offensive movepool, and a shallow support movepool, along with poor defenses and a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock, making it absolutely worthless on any team.”

    • Favourite Pokemon: It’s a tough one but I’ll go with Zapdos. I love the design and it’s one of the ones I actually teach flying moves to. http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/087/469/f92.gif
      Favourite Leader: Winona (ORAS), I like her team, she also has a pretty fly deign imo. Oh and in the anime she has a shiny Swellow which is nice and different. It might have been Falkner if he actually used Hoothoot in-game.

      Least favourite Pokemon: Mothim, I just feel it’s kinda bland and forgettable.
      Least favourite Leader: Golf woman from SuMo, boring and not a great design imo.

      I like flying types. I often like ones that aren’t just birds like Gliscor etc and would like to see more, like Minior. I think if it were called Wind type it might be better. I don’t like how there is only 1 pure Flying type. I also feel we’ve had more thn enough Normal/Flying and Bug/Flying types now. Other Favourites of this type: Pidgeot (+Mega); Charizard (+Mega Y); Butterfee; Fearow; Farfetch’d; Scyther; Gyarados; Aerodactyl (+Mega); Farticuno; Moltres; Dragonite; Togetic; Crobat; Xatu; Hoppip line; Murkrow line; Skarmory; Gligar line; Lugia; Yanma line; Ho-Oh; Mantine; Delibird; Taillow line; Swablu line; Salamence; Rayquaza (+Mega); Starly line; Drifloon line; Shaymin Sky; Archen line; Emolga, Ducklett line; Rufflet line; Vullaby line; Tornadus-T, Thundurus(both); Landorus-T; Hawlucha; Fletchinder; Noibat line; Yveltal; Rowlet; Pikipek; Oricorio Baille and Sensu; and Minior.

  5. So here’s my Moon Team so far: Machop (Shiny) Torracat (Starter) Oricorio (Cheerleader) Honedge (Shiny, Traded) and Grimer (alolan).
    I am currently in brooklet hill after about the second battle with wishiwashi, in a battle with a nearby fisherman using a magikarp.

  7. Dang it dang it dang it

    and i totally called the Marowak one being next
    “Ash & co. participating in a festival by Wela Volcano Park where Pokémon are to wear the Wela Crown which can cause Pokémon to have increased strength. However, a wild Marowak appears and steals the crown.”

  8. So here’s what happened. I made it through the four trainers on top of Realgam Tower without a problem. Then I made it to Nascour and got completely blasted apart…I could only take out Blaziken. And apparently the final final guy is even harder than that. This is extremely tough, it’s not even funny.

    Reply
    • And another thing: I have to go through the four trainers AGAIN, EVERY time I lose to either Nascour or Evice. I don’t think even Dark Souls could match the amount of BS in this endgame.

      Reply
        • Yeah I did, it actually wasn’t that hard either. I believe I’ve captured every Pokémon I could have possibly captured throughout the game so far (40). Now when I go back to the trainers, they have a new Pokémon replacing it. I’m using Feraligatr lv. 53, Shadow Miltank lv. 48, Shadow Tropius lv. 49, Entei lv. 44, Shadow Skarmory lv. 47, Hariyama lv. 42.

  10. In the final room of the Master Sword trials, there’s a Lynel you can one shot with an Ancient Arrow. Is this a glitch or am i just really late to the party?
