Thundurus-Therian @ Choice Scarf Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Thunderbolt - U-turn - Hidden Power [Ice] - Sludge Wave Thunderus-T is very good at scaring out Mega Slowbro's checks such as Tapu Koko and Bulu. U-turn let's it keep momentum by...

This is my first entry into these contest, so I hope I am doing this right. Here's my team: Team Volcanic Eruption: BOOM!!!

Side note: When I was in Hawaii, there were lots of vacationing Japanese ladies dressing classy exactly like Ezra! Unlike their unclassy American counterparts who are in tank top and shorts. Those Japanese ladies sure know how to look nice <3

I got some streaks with two story theme team. One is a fail streak and the other one is barely board worthy, but still worth reporting. And here they are Team #1: Ho-oh's Johto Furry Shop. Meow meow! (Streak 76 in Ultra Moon Super Singles) Three mysterious Pokemon, reincarnated by the sacred...

What is the probability of paralyzing 5 out of 6 turns? (Just lost a streak)

How many guys with Ice attacks do you need? Lol. We could keep the Zen Headbutt and replace the Ice Punch instead. Brick Break is another option, or the Electric Terrain boosted Thunder Punch could be really fun too.

Yes, I get what you are saying in how they can end a streak. But when something like Regigigas is paired with a Pokemon that can straight up OTK my guys, the choice between going after the guy who might kill me versus the guy who will definitely kill me is pretty easy to make.

It just feels to me like one of those early Tree opponents that tries to annoy so its partner can have an easier time killing me. It doesn't really pressure me except praying that the RNG God is on its side today. Its sets just seem like they are meant to stall out in singles and didn't carry...

Hey! I had some streak going in Super Doubles with another fun theme team which turned out to be slightly competitive! I got a streak of 103! Since I am terribly unoriginal, I just let the game story decide my team for me. And it's one big happy family! Battle Tree Super Doubles, Ultra...

Alternatively, you can run Mega Venusaur for being a good complement weakness wise for your other two guys, or Mega Manectric to make anyone who tries to zap your Minior pay dearly.

Reporting 2 streaks. One for the leader board, one not so much... The first team is actually from way back when I was still playing Sun. I just stopped it at 120 because the team got a little bit too boring to play. Since then, I've banked the team to Ultra Moon and just left it aside. Here's...

Lol, I thought about naming Tapu Koko Spark Man, Gyarados, Bubble Man, and Kartana Cut Man. Thinking back, Kartana should definitely be named Cut Man.

I will be on in an hour or so, and leave it on until the battery runs out. FC. see pm

Yes, Aqua Tail does have a tendency to miss at an inopportunate moment, but the team is resilient enough to live thru any misses. I usually use Waterfall in singles and Aqua Tail in doubles, because there are less opportunities to setup Dragon Dance in doubles and that little bit of immediate...

I finally got access to the Ultra Moon Battle tree. It appears that there are some new sets. Here is me taking a crack at it with a Super Doubles streak of 124, losing to a Cresselia Trick Room set that I wasn't aware of. Mega Man and Friends: Originally I opened with Mega Man over...

Not sure if we are still keeping track things, but reporting in with a Super Doubles streak of 104(5?) with the rain team. I found that I enjoy doubles way more than singles. The best teams in singles generally take way too many turns to achieve victory, not so for doubles. Also adding one more...

The snark is strong with this one. Tune it down bro, you are trying too hard to be the cool kid on this board. I am not talking about them being a problem, more about "for science" knowledge is power.

Oh, and here is a streak of 98 in Super Doubles. Added another Mega Pokemon to my list. Same team same set all throughout. Lost a bunch of times against early teams before it was better optimized. Bulu's Herbal Shop EAT GRASS. That's what this team is about. Blitz them with lots of grass to...

No, please read again. I gave my own anecdotal example and specifcally suggested ways that we can empirically test whether the AI indulges in RNG manipulation. Yes, it will take some effort. Basically, keep on entering and exiting the tree until you encounter an opponent with Quick Claw, then...

That wouldn't be a test, that would just be a survey with typical reporting biases. By actually running an actual test, there would be conclusive empirical data so the topic can finally be laid to rest.
