Reason: To prove everyone my favorite mons like Pikachu can be at top level. Looking to have fun!
Preferred tiers: All of them
Competitive accolades: I've managed to break the 600s barrier in OU after approx 748 games. Top 50 in dubs ladder as well ig but dubs ladder is ass wtf

I love how devs timed the torch and pitchfork vanities with a Chomp ban.
 
Devs:

Garchomp  S -> A+ or A
 
Metagross  A -> A+
 
Salamence and Hydreigon  A -> A-
 
Gengar A- -> B+ or B
 
Conkeldurr A- -> B+
 
Gyarados  A- -> B
 
Volcarona A- -> B+
 
Milotic B+ -> B-
 
Hariyama B -> B+
 
Cofagrigus B -> C
 
Abosmasnow B -> B+
 
Jellicent B -> B+ or A-
 
Mienshao C -> B-
 
 
Still I don't get the reason to rank most of the mons in tier C or D since 95% of the players would never use them. Like, for example look at tier D description: "Reserved for pokemon which only carry out a very limited function and are easily outclassed by other Pokemon in higher rankings" . Why would you rank mons that are "easily outclassed"? This basically means "don't use this". Why would you rank mons that you shouldn't use I don't get it.
 
Also no offense but agreeing on every nom that's posted on here might not be the right move. I'd support a VR council or something to make a voting between them for the nominations and see if they agree or not with the changes.

Reason: Last year I managed to build a solid team with spectacular players, I would like to repeat it but winning the PSL since we finished 2nd in the league and lost in the play-off semifinals.I will not choose the players because they are my friends, I will only choose the ones I think are best.
Other random stuff: I will win the PSL and give a chance to many players who could not enter the previous ones.
Many people asked me to be a manager for this psl or at least to try. I am the leader of HDLM and I have experience in managing teams, 2 psl as a player and 1 as a manager :).
 

Since the staff doesn't wanna host a good tourney I will. The players listed below are the 28 best candidates from the opinion of a select few and myself. Last 4 are open spots to make your case if you wanna play. If you cannot play, tell me sooner than later so I can find a replacement. Looking for a couple folks to help host so I don't have to pull from v4. Any donations will be added to the prize. If I could get a streamer to stream some matches that would be dope, if not I'll just make a twitch and stream.
 
Rules:
Location:
Silph Co. Channel 4
 
Time:
August 29th : 9:00 am EST/ 9:00 pm CST/ 1:00 pm GMT or here(subject to change upon community request)
Signups:
All requested players+ 4 open slots for picked players( players will be selected the Friday prior to the tournament)
Prizes:
1st: 10mil+ perfect comp of choice(no male/female only or genderless fyi)+ donations
2nd: 2 lava cookies(if your not first your last)
Everyone else:1 lava cookie(refer to the above quote)
 
Donations:
Soon tm?
 
Hosts:
Myself(pls halp)
 
 As a last note I'm gonna talk about the selection of players. Some of the players who are gonna be on the list I hate, some I like. The bases for selection is a combo of mm and tournament success. The last 4 open slots covers for anyone I missed and the extra players opinions cover for the biased host. If even after that u don't agree with my choices, suck it up its my yen I'm gonna do what I want with it. But to end on a positive note, come out for a good time of "high level" matches and to prove your the best player(jk im not playing so its invalid).Min of 16 players to start, if we don't get 16 fine by me I save a lot of yen. Good luck and have fun to all.
 
Last edit I swear. If all the mentioned players can either pm me or send me a mail telling me if the time works that would be nice
 

I'm AkaruKokuyo (Not AkuraKuyo ;__;) and smbee is @SMB . Don't really know the rest.

Hello!
 
Thank you for your report, have a nice day!

Phewww, really excited to see all of this! When I started playing MMO I was kind of dissapointed there was no Dubs Community or at least not one that you could easily see. Once I get some of those comp Mons I hope to be able to play with all you guys!

Also why Is Jelli not included there? Checks most of the physical mons, decent TR setter, rain check, recovery, I think it deserves a spot ): (Unless I'm missing something on it)

Loved this guide since the first time I read it. Keep going back to it since I forget about the trainer locations lol. Just uhh some quick adjusts to the leaders (since, as you said, it is a biit outdated)

After a couple of runs, I realized that all leaders give the same ammount of money depending on their number (All 1st gym leaders like Brock, Roxanne and Roark give the same ammount of $ . Only the three brothers of Unova are out of this rule and give less individually, but adding all three end up giving more than if it was only 1 leader). Misty - Brawly - Lenora - Gardenia give the same ammount, and so on. Here is a list of what they give with & without the Amulet Coin (AC)
 
    
Note: Unova Brothers are out of this rule. Individually, they give $6,972 with no AC, and $10,458 with AC
 
I've made a custom Gym Route only to extend the effect of Amulet Coin as much as possible (Which tbh is like extra 10k-20k lmfao) and been able to earn exactly $237,132 in one hour. If people would like to see it I can make a thread only for this specific route, but If you want to hard grind for money I'd recommend going for the 32 gyms + trainer routes listed on this guide!

You can think of it this way：Two Plain Bitter = One very Bitter，same for the rest.
Like this you said，you want to plant this，aguav Berries.After the harvested berry breaks down，70% are Plain Bitter,30% are very Bitter.The proportion of Plain Bitter is much larger than that of very Bitter.So you think very Bitter is hard to get.
As you want to get more Very Spicy ，you can increase the number of planting Cheri Berries，consume Plain Spicy，in order to get more Very Spicy.

That's great!
 
I agree with you about Jellicent, it's great. When writing these sets Jellicent was one of those Pokemon that I know that it can do but didn't know how I would recommend for it to be utilized. But it definitely deserves a spot I agree. I'll probably make my most confident guess of its "standard" moveset at one point.

0 Atk Life Orb Hydreigon Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 218-257 (60.2 - 70.9%)
252 SpA Life Orb Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Blissey: 109-129 (30.1 - 35.6%)
 
Add stealth rock dmg or work up set and done
 
was gonna add more things, but I felt like I lost some braincells reading past that sentence

There are dozens of us D O Z E N S

That's what he means, he wants to buff Outrage and make Hydreigon learn Draco Meteor

Personally, I don't think buffing any of them is good for the meta. I've only been playing OU for a week now and got to 630, being able to face against a lot of team archetypes. Tbh Draco Hydra it's just a nuke to any pokemon not named Chansey or Blissey. Even Ferro takes > 50%, you know something's wrong when a not super effective move does more than half to Ferro , and being able to just randomly nuke whatever you feel like doesn't look good, specially when the only drawback you have is getting your SpA at -2 (really not a drawback when each time you trade that for an opposing Mon). I do think that if you run it specs it gets outsped by a lot of good Mons that can easily OHKO it (Salamence, Garchomp, Mienshao, Scarf Tar tho who tf uses scarf tar lol), but it's very easy to get rid of those Mons with the rest of the team and very easy to get momentum for Hydreigon with a VoltTurn archetype. It's just way too free to set him up to get a kill.

Outrage is also something that might make Dragons just spammed af. On BW OU, there is an archetype called DragMag, not sure if it exists here, where you put a Magnezone to get rid of the switches like Ferrothorn, Skarmory, Jirachi (doesn't exist here) and just spam 2-3 dragons, click Draco/Outrage and kill everything. It's balanced on Smogon because stuff like Landorus exist, but I don't think we really have a way to balance it here other than going DragMag vs DragMag or force a Shed Shell on everything just so you don't get trapped (which at the end isn't even that amazing since you still take >50% from banded Outrages/Draco) + force the use of multiple scarfs. 

Just saying what I think might happen. Again, I'm no expert on PokeMMO meta, I might be wrong, personal opinion here. Though I do think there is no way that they will buff the moves, discussion regarding it might be fun to have.

Hey! Really glad that I just found this! I'm a DOU player in Smogon and usually like to try new doubles metagames, so really excited with where this is going! Just need to grind money to breed those mons ):

Hello and welcome ! If you have any problem don’t hesitate to contact the staff. 
@RevzSM already answered your questions with really good answers, and if you have other question you can contact the staff too :) 
I hope you’ll have a great time on PokeMMO !

Welcome to PokeMMO!!
 
1) Trainers are a 6 hour cooldown and Gyms (including Morimoto?) are 18 hours. These are hours in real life and not in game. Each in game day is 6 hours.
 
2) I believe Morimoto is easier the first time around. When I do rematches with 6 lvl 100s, gyms and Morimoto are around lvl 80-85. They could be scaled to what you bring to the fight, I'm not sure.
 
3) Battle points can be seen on your trainer card.(Second icon on the bottom or press c) They can be used at the Battle Subway(Unova) or Battle Frontier(Hoenn) to purchase items, certain moves, etc.
 
4) In PokeMMO eggs hatch in 10 mins or 5mins with Flame body/Magma Armor ability. Shiny rate is 1/30000 without any modifiers. So with the donator pass it would be 1/27000. 10% off
 
Enjoy your stay! :)

Hello there! My name is Akaruyo, or Akaru Kokuyo, you might find me with any of those names! I saw this introduction section and thought It'd a good idea to do one!

I'm new to this PokeMMO thing. A friend of mine invited me like 4 years ago but I didn't want to play it for some reason, oh boy how I regret that lmao. I'm a competitive Pokémon player, participating in Smogon tournaments and VGC circuit for about 4 consecutive years, even going to 2016 Worlds and qualifying for Day 2! (Only 1 win away from the actual last elimination thing ))): ), and I'm really looking forward to start grinding for the competitive Pokémon here and start playing in the tournaments hehe. This being said, I have some questions that I tried searching on other threads on the forums, but are either way too old (and not true, because I tried them) or just straight didn't find them. Hopefully anyone can help me!

1)  What are the cooldowns on trainers for rematches? I've read everywhere that normal trainers have a 6 hour cooldown, and gym leaders and the game freak guy at castelia have 18 hours cooldown. Is that true? If so, then that'd mean that a whole in game day, or three days, right? I tried rematching a random Ace Trainer after 7 hours approx. and I wasn't able to battle him ):

2) Is there anywhere I can see the levels of the rematches? I went with a lvl 80 Gengar alone vs Morimoto and barely won vs him, then rematched him and he had 10 extra levels on his Pokémon!! It wasn't fun ))): . Same for the Elite Four guys and yeah, Gym Leaders (I've read Gym Leaders have lvl 80s lmao)

3) Where do I see Battle Points, and what can I do with them besides entering Tournaments? When I cleared Unova's E4 I got a message that said I got like 3000 or something, but I don't know what to do with them lol. Right now, I've only cleared Unova, and I'm on my way in Kanto and after that I'll go to Hoenn, will I use them somehow in any of these regions? 

4) The Donator Status thing says it reduces the time for eggs to hatch and an extra 10% of getting shinies. Why time on eggs? Wasn't it by steps? Or was this changed? And the shiny ratio, is it an extra 10% on the current ratio or like, literally 10%?? (I know this would be broken but I mean you pay for it so it's possible to be that absurd, which again I don't think so, but yeah, better ask xD)

I hope I can stay a long time here since I really liked the game and stuff and If I can be of any help to anyone, even If I'm very limited atm, don't hesitate to ask!
