Blackjaw reacted to VelvetLlama in Can we bring back LC (LittleCup) Tier Officially?
Hello! I am VelvetLlama, Co-owner of Team [ROO]. This is going to be my suggestion on bringing back the LC (Little Cup) tier Officially. I saw it was an Official Tier back Pre-2020. (Announcement was made stating they are ending the tier officially on Dec. 28th 2020) but I think enough time has passed and still see an active community in the Tier that it should be taken into consideration to bring it back.
I have some reasons why I think we should bring it back officially. First one is because it is one of the unofficial formats that I have been seeing a lot about it again. We have the LCPL (Little Cup Premier League) tournaments that are held yearly with HUGE prize-pools, the PokeMMO World Cups, and also the LC club weekly tournaments. Along with the Recent Patrouski Video on covering the Multiverse Tournament that is coming up has shed a lot of light onto the semi forgotten tier.
There has been some discussion about dilemmas and solutions of the tier in previous topics that are on the forums. Like example, “The LC tier had a lot of bans and even ability bans (Download). Devs do not like tiers with a lot of bans.” The most likely problem is that tiers with high ban-lists are difficult to control. So a solution is simple: Leave the LC still under the control of the LC Club. What club leaders or moderators of the club can do is notify the devs in case of Bans on the monthly movement thread when the next one opens like I assume the tier council already does for the other tiers. The LC tier did not have a large player base because devs did not give us LC matchmaking, so that's an easy fix as well. Will they most likely have a smaller player-base on start? Yes, I believe that it's normal with any introduction of something new. But the player-base will increase with time, especially when most lucrative tours are on LC, so a lot of players will want to play and go for these prizes. Like the Multiverse Tournament stated above. I don’t think it would impact the other tiers at all. As they all already have a decent player base. Some might say that The LC tier didn't have a very versatile meta-game and was always defined by very high usage mons that usually ended up banned. But isnt that how OU is currently is to a point? Take example Galade and the sharpness ability. Was brought in, Banned instantly due to how overpowered it was and its usage, and now it has been nerfed hard. Each Tier has its ups and downs but overall I think bringing back this Tier officially would be a good thing for alot of people as it brings a more unique experience with PokeMMO and its PvP.

Blackjaw reacted to DragoTamer in Guide Tavern Index
Purpose for making this: Rather than posting individual guides, you will be able to post this to reduce the majority of the burden. I am aware that various teams will have a few other team specific guides, so this guide index won’t be an exhaustive list. Some guides may be repeated in some sections, but that’s because they can apply to several categories, and it therefore felt most appropriate to list them under the related sections for ease of locating by relevance. Some guides might be slightly out of date since I started compiling this before some updates in change logs, but it shouldn’t be that different. If you notice something, please comment. Always double check the update logs and ask PokeMMO staff to be safe. If I need to update something, ping me in your comment and let me know what needs to be updated. The names for each guide are in the link.

Pokémon: Shedinja
Nature: Lonely
Optimal IVs: X/31/0/31/21/31
**HP doesn't matter. 31s in attack and speed to maximize usefulness. 0 in Defense and 21 in Special Defense to keep defenses as low as possible due to PvP purposes and to counter the download ability. 31 in Special Attack because it has some special attack moves in its move pool**
Cost-saving IVs: 2x31 in Attack/Speed.
**A 21 IV difference between Defense and Special Defense with Special Defense being higher. A high special attack IV is nice, but not necessary.**
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 special attack
Egg moves: Final Gambit, Night Slash, Gust, Flail
**Optional, but I recommend them for versatility**
**If you pass egg moves to the final breed, they are re-learnable. This means you will have expanded the maximum moveset of your final breed**
HM moves: Cut, Flash
