Street Pokemon -- The reality.

Like, long story short: this is one chaotic metagame where Pokemon with Mimic and subsequently Assist are absolutely unlimited in their potentials with the most ridiculous stuff you could ever imagine. To provide a couple examples.

No Guard Machamp @ Leftovers
Sheer Cold | Mach Punch

Mewtwo @ Life Orb
Tail Glow | Psycho Break | Aura Sphere

Simple Bibarel @ Focus Sash
Shell Break | Quick Attack | Sacred Fire | Earthquake

Chansey @ Evolution Stone
Cotton Guard

Flareon @ Choice Band
Sacred Fire | Extremespeed | Earthquake

Everything could have Spore. Everything could have Shell Break.

Eric The Espeon has also posted that he is willing to create a server for this "Street Metagame" which has only one set rule: There are no rules.

Discuss this limitless and insane idea of a metagame!

"this is the stupidest thing I've read in a very long time" is what I'd like to say, but I saw the smogon thread just a few minutes ago, therefore this is the stupidest thing I've read in a few minutes.

Ahahaha, that may be true. But the sheer infinity of this style is quite ridiculous.

FEAR Sudowoodo.

That is all.


EDIT: Sudowoodo can do this normally but under these rules he gets Ice Shard and Endeavor and he can be level 2.

Would Extremespeed be an option to beat Fear counters or something? I remember seeing similar posts in the Smogon thread.

What you posted above brings to mind...

No Guard Machamp + Sheer Cold = GG.
Even better, Scarf it so it outspeeds more.

Tail Glow Mewtwo anyone?

This sounds amazing. I'd totally play. x]

 

[choknater]

hahah, sturdy still survives no guard sheer cold, thats why scarf would be bad.

 

[CT Chia]

so its pokemon that can learn any move?

 

[kirbyraeg]

magic mirror espeon still ***** in this format.

So perhaps no Scarf depending on the rest of your lineup. But DynamicPunch will still be good then, since the majority of Sturdy Pokemon are weak to Fighting moves.
Run a special attacker with Thunder(bolt) in case of Skarmory showing up.
Hrm...

I must say this is indeed a dumb idea, all it will boil down too is pick pokemon with best stats, slap power+ item and pick 4 great moves.

This isn't street pokemon. Wtf.

Street pokemon is just no clauses. This is like "true" pokemon, where even in-game glitches and **** is abusable.

Edit: Also, Slaking with Skill Swap + protect is just ewwwww.

Mischevious Heart Erufuun would be helpful there, methinks. Or anything else that can Taunt.

 

[The Real Gamer]

This is essentially "lets just throw the most abusive, cheap sets together all in one metagame and see what happens."

Terrible idea.

 

[Enzo]

this definitely would be cute at first
but then
; ;

 

[Pogogo]

the poison heal breloom would be op as ****. spore, sub, spore, sub. Anyone with spore in fact but breloom dishes out dmg too so. Also double team baton pass off a tank is just stupid. OHKO is moronic as well. The rules are not supposed to be limiting there supposed to allow for more options as to remove the op/******** ones. If you had a sheer cold machamp, everyone would use one. There's no variety. Evasion/sleep is the worst though. Sleep is the absolute worst.

@peeps who think erufuun is a counter. Focus punch. @ sudwoodo lover, gengar *****

 

[Wave⁂]

You can PP stall Spore users. Cresselia has a use?

 

[kirbyraeg]

magic mirror espeon still ***** in this format.

Oh hey look so I already mentioned this.

 

[Cease Tick]

They set up a server for it:

It's really fun, actually

Spoiler

hi guys

 

[ss118]

I had fun, but that's because it's been pure offensive sets atm.

Spore is everywhere, as expected. Belly Drum + Extremespeed is a really obnoxious combo, and Shedinja gets a lot of love due to the lack of SR anywhere.

I'm about to play some more, just thought I'd give this though.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm totally going to try this out now. lolol

Edit - Hi, Cease Tick!

 

[ss118]

you should get on. I'm just chilling out here with no one to play. ='[

By "totally going to try this out now" I meant whenever I can next time.

Maybe some other time, Articanus. BTW you should really get a Skype.
