The Interview
[16:23] articanus: so do u have time to answer a few of the questions?
[16:23] supermarth64: yea that's fine
[16:23] articanus: It will be very general questions that will be asked to every weekend tournament winner
[16:23] supermarth64: ok
[16:23] articanus: What inspired you to use Groudon over the other available ubers?
[16:24] supermarth64: well i had a stall team that had stalltwo on it
[16:24] supermarth64:(light screen/wow/taunt/recover)
[16:24] supermarth64: and groudon was a main player in that
[16:24] articanus: But why the groudon over the mewtwo?
[16:25] supermarth64: i feared kyogre more than i needed mewtwo
[16:25] supermarth64: and sun would help me weaken surfs (usually by saccing groudon)
[16:26] articanus: So basically you designed your team as a general anti-metagame team, hence the use of T-spikes to cripple most ubers and Sun to stop what you probably predicted as the "common" Rain team?
[16:26] supermarth64: yep
[16:26] supermarth64: here let me start my train of thought
[16:27] supermarth64: so my uber team is
[16:27] supermarth64: groudon/latias/forry/heatran/mewtwo/uhhhhhhhhhh
[16:27] supermarth64: kyogre
[16:28] supermarth64: so i thought
[16:28] supermarth64: "ok 3 ubers, i need to kick off 2"
[16:28] supermarth64: my first concern was that i needed a way to check specs kyogre
[16:28] supermarth64: oh wait i lied
[16:28] supermarth64: 4 ubers cuz soul dew latias
[16:28] articanus: well that's easy enough to fix
[16:29] supermarth64: yea
[16:29] supermarth64: so i swapped out latias for blissey
[16:29] supermarth64: gave it softboiled because wish + protect would leave me a bit vulnerable
[16:29] supermarth64: and gave it ice beam so it wouldn't be salaquaza bait
[16:29] supermarth64: next i kept forry because spikes + tspikes are good and i didn't expect anyone to carry rapid spin
[16:30] supermarth64: though in case i ran rotom-h over kyogre to block rapid spin
[16:30] supermarth64: and made it outspeed adamant lucario to hit it with a wow/tbolt
[16:30] articanus: So that is
[16:30] articanus: groudon/blissey/forrey/rotom/heatran
[16:30] supermarth64: and "mewtwo"
[16:31] articanus:so obv one of them had to go
[16:31] supermarth64: though mewtwo's getting replaced
[16:31] supermarth64: yep
[16:31] supermarth64:i kept heatran ebcause taunt was unexpected and there wasn't really any other set that i could use on it
[16:31] supermarth64:(i really needed dragon pulse and roar was pretty good)
[16:31] supermarth64:so the set just stuck
[16:31] articanus: it proved obnoxious in our battle
[16:31] articanus: at least
[16:31] articanus: xD
[16:31] supermarth64:haha yea
[16:32] supermarth64: groudon is a good partner for heatran as it allows it to eat surfs if it has to (namely from palkia)
[16:32] supermarth64: plus i needed SR
[16:32] supermarth64: so mewtwo had to go
[16:32] supermarth64: and roar was pretty useful
[16:32] supermarth64: (lol double roarers)
[16:32] supermarth64:so after mewtwo left
[16:32] supermarth64: i noticed how my team was dd gyara weak if rotom-h was weakened
[16:33] supermarth64: so i stuck scarf jirachi on there
[16:33] supermarth64: and gave it u-turn because it can hit things like darkrai and mewtwo for SE damage
[16:33] supermarth64: then iron head because it's gay
[16:33] articanus: f@g
[16:33] articanus: xD
[16:33] supermarth64: and i forgot the last move
[16:33] articanus:Ice Punch
[16:33] articanus: general Dragons I guess
[16:33] supermarth64: i guess i was paranoid about rayquaza and mence
[16:33] supermarth64: so yea, that's how i made my team
[16:33] articanus:I don't think Rayquaza was ever used
[16:34] articanus: I was pissing my pants over darkrai tbh
[16:34] articanus:lol
[16:34] supermarth64: originally i wanted to do double dragon (salaquaza)
[16:34] supermarth64: but then i decided against it because i can't play well with it
[16:34] articanus: well obviously the team you chose did very well regardless
[16:35] articanus: lol
[16:36] articanus: well thanks for your time
[16:36] articanus: ^^

-There were just enough pokemon available that I wanted to use, and it was great that Relicanth was one of them.

-Yea, that I won.
And how well Duskull was used by my opponents.

IMO, ban Arceus.

It can't be legitimately gotten before Lv.100 yet, therefore it shouldn't be legal to use.

I was going to propose that in the event that this got chosen anyway. For that exact reason. The only other one I was going to propose for a ban is Soul Dew, because it uncomplicates Latias' tiering (it could always run Scarf or even Specs, after all, and be an OU Pokemon) and powers down Latios enough so that he won't be so rapetastic.

I believe I'm open all weekend, so far as I know at least. I'd prefer to not do it Friday though.

Feel free to ignore this, since I don't even know if I want to join.

Prom is Saturday, so I can't play then.

lol, I guess the consensus is sunday.

probably best for me too since I don't have classes to worry about then.

Latios with soul dew is really good, but it'll still lose to scarftar D:

I like how nobody is taking Kyogre into consideration.

At all.

the team I'm testing out for OUbers is sooooo weak to Kyogre.

I think I might just use my OU team with like one difference for the tourney.

Not mine. I don't even use Kyogre that much in actual Ubers, apart from maybe as a lead (it does a great job at setting momentum).

The Uber to actually be on my team will probably be one of my two staple-ish Ubers Pokemon. More likely one than the other.

Well I don't mind it, though if everyone is soooooooo for banning it I don't mind.

Anyway, please vote for your favorite time to do this! I'd go ~10 on Friday, because that's probably the only time I'd have to be able to do this.

I'd prefer it gone just to help us prepare better. Not even in Ubers do we really know what would happen if Arceus was made legal, as the metagame will likely require a major shift once the ever-so-versatile God is released. And that's basically why I don't want it around. Preparing for the ones we do know stuff about is hard enough, preparing for the one that could completely change the Ubers metagame as we know it as well just seems a little ridiculous.

And I'm still open every day, so I can't say I care about what day it's on.
