CaptainGrey Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 tfw shiny comp gyarados for gimmick ..shiny tentacool for standard ou Staff confirmed in love with Gimmicks, need to provide insane prizes to make them viable. The fact is Standard OU's tournaments are common and numerous, while "gimmicks" tournaments are rare and less numerous. This may explain the difference in shinies rewards, those tournaments are specials. Also if you don't like Tentacool, you still can go for Battle Points :). Link to comment
OldKeith Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Also if you don't like Tentacool, you still can go for Battle Points :). For that one, I believe the battle points are more valuable than the Tentacool. At least you can sell them in an instant. DoubleJ 1 Link to comment
Robertttttttttt Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Woah.. I've always wanted a shiny Gyarados... To make things better, a COMP Shiny Gyarados! @_@ Edited February 21, 2015 by Robertttttttttt Link to comment
Gunthug Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've been critical of prize choices in the past, but this one doesn't bother me too much. Shiny gyara is cool and all but it's a 5 egg shiny, and a comp one will likely be locked into one move set which means you won't see it all that often in serious comp play due to the risk of being scouted (and the non 31 attack Lel). It's a cool prize don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't even consider monotype to be that gimmicky - it's a pretty standard gimmick, if that makes sense. Link to comment
Robertttttttttt Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Will we be able to switch Pokemon after every battle or will the Pokemon each player use have to stay the same? Link to comment
Noad Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Will we be able to switch Pokemon after every battle or will the Pokemon each player use have to stay the same? You will be allowed to switch Pokemon between rounds. Link to comment

Scouted or not, it's still going to get the job done. And please, 25 vs 31 isn't that big of a deal late game when Gyara truly shines. This is an insane prize for any tournament and no, "pretty standard gimmick" does not make sense gunthug. Congrats to the homie that rng's their way through "The Price is Right" and wins this thing. I hope it's me. Link to comment

Congrats to the homie that rng's their way through "The Price is Right" and wins this thing. I hope it's me. Well there are a variety of dragon dance sets: 3 attacks, 2 attacks and taunt, sub/flail, sub/reversal. A player won't exactly be able to flicker between a sub/reversal set and a DD/3 attacks set unless they feel like dumping ~20k battle points every time for reversal (and afaik flail is an egg move so similar argument there) I realize that 25 vs 31 isn't a huge deal in general, but if you've got a comp gyara with 31 attack and this shiny one with 25, which are you gonna use in an official? I dunno, this answer may vary based on the player but I certainly wouldn't use the inferior one just because it's shiny And yeah I know "standard gimmick" is almost an oxymoron but it's less RNG based than, say, a Gen 1 only gimmick or something. I think this is a solid prize, but it's not even on the level of the comp shiny starmie IMO Link to comment
