I had entered this tournament from a completely casual standpoint, and, like Wolfey, I figured others would do the same. So I was shocked when I wound up fighting Wolfey during the tournament (though I wasn't certain until after the battle when I tuned into his stream), even moreso that I got lucky enough to outright win the battle. Of course, the Snorlax Land's Wrath did all of the work. I was the 2nd fight in the video.

Smogon kinda does have a Metronome meta, but it’s very different because they ban all of the lame stuff (leftovers, Cursed Body, Pressure, etc), it’s Double Battles, just 2v2, and you can use illegal stuff like Intrepid Sword Mega Heracross with max EVs. It’s a very fun format with actual strategy involved, and I like it much more than the official version, but they’re VERY different haha.

top 5 would be completely arbitrary past being semi functional teams, because even if a team is crazy a pokemon could just roll like 5 times into protect and the team would lose the game edit: this is actually wrong upon reflection. a better team would consistently have a slight advantage, BUT that advantage is very unlikely to actually be cashed in. i think maybe in 1000 games a good team would be able to see a noticeable differential to a worse one. i still feel it would mean very little due to that. and in the first place ai could probably build teams and play deliberately given enough training time. google's deepmind built an ai to play starcraft 2, an imperfect game, better than several pros, so pokemon is likely well within the capabilities of ai to near completely crack as well, you kinda dont need to mess with all these teams in a bracket

@@desuvult8463 No problem! So Imprison prevents any pokemon on the opposite team from using any of the moves that the current pokemon who used Imprison has. For example, if the pokemon has water gun, no pokemon on the other team can use water gun. In a metronome-only battle, it means that your opponent's entire team can't use metronome, their only move. When a pokemon has no moves to use, they use a default, physical, typeless move known as Struggle. Struggle isn't too strong and drains a quarter of the user's hp. When your whole team can only use Struggle, it's a big issue. The only way to get out of it in a metronome battle is to PP stall the pokemon that used Imprison by switching out constantly, preferably to a pokemon with the Pressure ability, so they themselves eventually have to use Struggle or switch out, ending Impridon's effect. BUT, when a trapping move is used (one that prevents switching), even that strategy can't be used. With the pokemon constantly hurting themselves and unable to switch out, it's a guaranteed KO. A huge advantage. Hope that helped!

I also tried aroma veil alcremie that was immune to cursed body and guts choice band machamp which if you got lucky hit like a tank (was going to do no guard but that benefits the opponent just as much as you in this format).

Imprison has its niche as an anti-lead move to setup stealth rock, disable u-turn or other moves on turn 1 6v6 singles. Mew has a trapping set of whirlpooling on switch in, imprisoning, then transforming to struggle the other mon to death. In 1v1 format, it's been banned because of this set, with no extra turn needed to trap it can essentially win in just two moves. And a bulky mew is hard to kill In doubles it's a niche anti-trickroom option that bypasses mental herb.

It’s also great for anti-trick room, or mixed trick room and fast teams. If you imprison, you can stop the opponent setting it up when it’s bad for you, and when it’s beneficial you can choose to use it. The imprison mon either has to stay in, or you get rid of their trick-rook setters. It helps if you know that trick room in general or a specific team archetype that counters your team and relies on trick room and you can find a win-condition by shutting it down before you get destroyed. It takes two move slots but you either really really need it so it’s worth it, or you can bring something else (if it’s not 6v6). It helps either to surprise the opponent and mess up their set up, or you are playing with open team sheets and you have the advantage of knowing exactly when you do or don’t need it. It’s also kinda funny, so there’s that too I guess lol. Bringing trick room just so they can’t have it 😂
