↑ True; further apologies. To finally answer the Charizard question (which yes, I should have responded to that a long time ago), my plan was always to start with Toxic, which already was placing my streak in jeopardy (considering Toxic's 90 accuracy). If I faced Charizard Y, it had a strong...

I posted about my streak because I was excited back then about having a streak that was growing, and it is absolutely true now that I won't go back to it. Reaching 1000 was my personal goal with it, and I feel extremely lucky to have reached that number with that team, especially given its poor...

Honestly, don't use my team. It's an extremely lucky 1000-streak team, which has been noted many times, and I only posted it here because it somehow did reach 1000. Its lack of answers to certain threats, particularly Dragon Dance and Sheer Cold users, makes it even more questionable. And I'm...

Thanks! I chose Confide because the team was struggling against heavier-hitting special attackers, particularly Magnezone-4, which also has additional bulk from the Assault Vest. Confide also has 32 PP, which could potentially come in handy for stalling things (although that's never been the...

Posting an ongoing streak of 1000 in Super Singles. It's the same team as I posted about before, but I'll include the set details here as well (link to the other write-up is here). CyberDuck (Porygon2) @ Eviolite Ability: Download EVs: 244 HP / 76 Def / 188 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 1 Atk -...

It is generally looked down upon. Many of the more veteran players here spend time entrenched in breeding projects to get the right Hidden Power IVs, shininess, etc. so if you can at all avoid genning, do so. Of course, there's no way to know if people are really hacking their Pokemon (even...

Small update: → 550* I lost at 364 but was angry about a misplay or two, so I rebuilt the streak with the same team (available here) up to where it is now. That said, the fact that this team has me in second place on the leaderboard is far beyond what I was expecting to accomplish. I'll...

Was there this much trouble in the Battle Maison with hacking streaks? I don't remember there being this much happening in that thread. Perhaps it's the rise of PKHex's Battle Tree streak manipulation addition that has everyone thinking they can get away with ridiculous "streaks" in this thread...

Note: This streak is ongoing, so it is currently ineligible for the leaderboard. Posting a streak of 211 in Super Singles. Team Duck/Sword/Dragon (as determined while rushing to name the team when registering the QR Rental Team) CyberDuck (Porygon2) @ Eviolite Ability: Download Level: 50...

Now that Bank is out, let the true games begin.

I suppose it could be seen as a similarity to the leaderboard here, where streaks are included once they're completed (except in the case of quadruple-digit runs in the Maison). It does seem silly to make it a requirement to lose in order to get the rewards, but yes, it is that way.

I had the same problem, but I believe you get the rewards once your streak is completed. So to get the daily Bottle Cap, you'd have to achieve a thirty-battle win streak and then lose, so that you could reap the benefits of said streak. I reached fifty, lost a fifty-two, and then got all the...

Trying to reach 50 wins with Aegislash and failing only to reach 50 with Araquanid is a strange thought that somewhat disappoints me, given my assumption that I would be able to wield Aegislash with enough skill, but oh well. I shouldn't complain, I suppose. That being said, the Battle Tree is...

The Focus Sash is a consumable item, so it won't be replenished if you were to reach full health again. Besides, an HP IV of 13 results in 151 HP, while 31 nets 160. A difference of nine hit points isn't going to make much of a difference in terms of regaining health. It's possible that having...
