No, because you cannot assume that whoever was able to get that insanely cheap priced item had the intention to "snipe", to low-ball the seller. They just paid whatever the system asked them to.
Oh come on let's be real haha, that's about as logical as saying that you can't reasonably prove (without staff input) that people intentionally over-price worthless items that have similar names as more valuable ones. Could just be an accident right?
And I'm not talking about someone intentionally listing an undercut for a quick sale - I'm talking about snapping up a shiny for 50k. Absolutely no one in their right mind would hesitate because it's free money, and because tough crap on the noob for not doing their homework before making the sale, right? Surely that's just as unethical, yet no one bats an eyelid?
For the record I don't necessarily think this suggestion is a bad idea, I just think it's interesting that there's such disparity in opinions regarding two sides of the same coin. -

Sadly, this doesn't answer my question.
Rotom Heat sits at 41,41% and has an unfair type advantage against a lot of UU. His true counters are basically Lanturn and Slowbro only (kind of).
This is something which should be thought better. If a Pokemon is 41% usage and the second most used Pokemon is at 23%, something's off.Lanturn, Snorlax, Flygon, opposing Rotom-H, Druddigon, Sp.Def Jellicent and Porygon2 are all very viable Pokemon in the UU meta which all comfortably check Rotom-H. It's true that you should always factor in an answer to Rotom-H when teambuilding, and it's probably is the most useful Pokemon in the tier, but that doesn't mean it's overpowered. Its weakness to Stealth Rocks, lack of reliable recovery, and Overheat being its main offensive STAB move are all aspects that hinder it significantly.
The reason it's used so much is just because of how useful it is in the tier - it defensively covers a lot of offensive threats, and offers great teambuilding synergy with its typing and ability. There are lots of ways to deal with Rotom, you just need to make use of them.
Edit: In response to your edit about it "not being under used" - it is under used because it doesn't meet the usage threshold in OU for it to be moved up. Its usage within UU itself has no bearing on that.

@kiwi when he finally fuckin wakes up
SpoilerAll jokes aside - I'm proud as hell to be a part of this team. You all keep setting the bar higher with every passing year, and it's great to be a part of.
GGNORE 2020, here's to hoping 2021 is better for all of us both in-game and in real life.

I'm taking bets. I bet he'll close the shop within a week.
Seriously tho, instead of viciously undercutting like this to gain more orders, all you're doing is working yourself to the bone for little payout. You might as well price it competitively according to the market and you'll have a consistent client base given that you are good at what you do.

I'd wager all of my in game money that you guys have undercut people before, be it with EV/breeding prices or GTL listings. He's clearly new so chill out and let him do his own thing.
@ZacAustin I'll probably have some orders for you at some point, I'll shoot you a PM when I'm ready to place them

I'm talking about the amount of sign ups. Before, 16 seat tours weren't being filled. Now LC is going, this tour is full. If people really cared about LC then they should've played before.
But there is an independent variable in that this tournament is for a Shiny Larvesta, which is the best prize LC (or any tier for that matter) has seen in a significant length of time. You can't draw any conclusions by comparing the turnout for this tour with that of a 16 man CC

The thing is. People suddenly start caring now. If they really cared they should've played BEFORE LC is going to be removed.

The tournament is in 2 hours and no answer, even a negative one. Not really surprised.
Staff make nonsensical decision -> large outcry from players to reverse it -> complete silence from staff
We see it all the time. Same shit different day bro

1) you change this event from a 64 players tournament to a 256 players tournament
2) if the tournament completely fills, you guys have to keep LC as an official tier;
if the tournament doesn't fill completely, you guys get the community support (even if you don't really need it) to shut down LC for good.
If LC is indeed dying and the participation rate is unsustainably low, you guys really would have nothing to lose while us LC players risk losing our very last LC tournament (if we don't reach the minimum quota of 128 players) just to prove you wrong xDAlso bump

Can someone please explain me this image? Because in the same and excellent guide there is this sentence:
"Important to remember: There is no stacking of encounters in PokeMMO
The system doesn't track your encounters. This means that even if you are at your FIRST encounter or your 123456th encounter, the chance is still either 1/30000, 1/27000 etc. If you want your shiny, you have to be dedicated and patient."
Surely I'm wrong but it seems to me that I increase my odds if I have a lot of encounters
To add what Orange said, just because the rate is ~1/31k, it doesn’t mean that you will be guaranteed a shiny in 31k encounters. Every single encounter is a separate roll of a 31k sided die

To be honest, I dont see a reason behind keeping LC unofficial matchmaking Discord. It was very active when it began (over 100 matches in 2 weeks for about 15 players signed up), but the recents interest of community towards LC made it so that players didn't really need it anymore to play LC.
I also think that players enjoy more tournaments than matchmaking, especially since LC one isn't official, and theres not much to flex on (which is probably main reason why people play matchmaking besides vanity rewards).
I still want to have a place where the LC community can regroup, and maybe we can work with Einstein and others that are dedicated to support pvp community to make a place only about LC so we can organize stuff more easier. We can create our own "staff" for any LC tournaments and events hosted, with a dedicated Discord where we can also add a little matchmaking part.
I don't know for sure what will happen when update comes, if the tier will change (banned mons and abilities) or they just will stop tournaments. In one case, we could work with tier council to actually have more freedom about what we think is good or not to keep in the tier (adding Mienfoo back, etc) since the devs dont seem to care about it anymore, I dont see a reason why they would refuse our proposals. In the other case, we would need our own tier council and I think it will actually be easier.
I hope that they will keep the level 5 stat preview on pokemon resume, and pokedex filters aswell (would be nice to have answer about that).
I agree with both Thinknicer and Zymogen. It will make LC more enjoyable for those who already play it, but we will see less new players coming into this tier. However I think that amongst veterans of other tiers some may start LC as much of unofficials will probably be going towards a focus on LC with interesting prizes.
I hope that we can show the devs that we can do a much better job than them at taking care of the game community, especially pvp.
I will rework the LC matchmaking discord into a place where we can all discuss about the future of the tier, and organize everything together. I will put link here and in Einstein discord if we agree on working all together.
As for me, I will personally continue to help and support LC in any way I can, and can bring some resources I have from the unofficial matchmaking aswell as mine. Wanna say thank you to staff that actually supported us, thank Revz for your donation, thank you Sethsen for hosting many LC tours over these last months, thank you others that I forget. And also thank you to all LC players to keep enjoying playing this tier even after years.
Just wanted to add that I wasn't trying to discredit your efforts with the LC discord server. It was a great idea, and it's nice to see players taking problems into their own hands. I just wanted to highlight that, unless we can get together and start a sustained mass community effort, LC is going to continue to dwindle. But it seems that there are lots of motivated players so I'm tentatively hopeful.
