Long Live Super Mario Maker! 2015-2024
I'm posting this because this has started to become a rather hot topic on IRC!
So as some of you may know, gamefreak made soft resetting for Legendaries more reasonable, and breeding being less time consuming, a lot of us have actually started to play on cart. And with that, gamefreak has also done something new: in Battle Spot free battles (Battle Spot is pretty much gen 6 GBU), NO POKÉMON ARE BANNED! This pretty much means that gamefreak has made an official Ubers matchmaker of sorts. While it sucks that there isn't a ratings system for it, it's a huge step up from what gen 5 offered. Plus, it could prepare us for an eventual official Ubers tournament if gamefreak chooses to do that again!
For those of you who are new to this metagame, here are the rules.
-Species Clause is still around
-Item Clause is around. This means you can only have one kind of item on your team.
-These battles are 3vs3. This means you choose only 3 Pokémon who are on your team for the match during team preview.
-Sleep Clause, OHKO Clause, and Moody Clause are NOT a thing in this metagame!
Sadly, I haven't really truely played this, as my only battle ready Pokémon are Xerneas, Yveltal, Ageislash, and Ditto lol. That being said, I DO have some experience with 3vs3, and a big thing to remember is you don't have to build your teams the same way as you would a normal Ubers team. 3vs3 is MUCH faster paced, so Stall is extremely uncommon. Also, you can build your team in a way where you have certain "set ups" of Pokémon to chose from. For example, you can actually get away with running two Mega Pokémon, and just not using them together, but having them for different team match ups.
And with that, let's discuss gamefreak's offical version of Ubers singles!
