Ubers Player Spotlight - #15
Ubers Player Spotlight is the place where I interview notable and respected players from Ubers, the tier where the fiercest monsters combat and exert apocalyptic force. People I choose to interview are the elite players who excel at taming the strongest monsters and have been consistent throughout tournaments and is well respected by the community.
I am open to suggestions (DMDW#8155) about the players that can be interviewed, but please keep in mind that suggested players are subjects to review by me and Ubers moderation team. With that out of the way...
Spotlight #15:
Most Known For:
Won Ubers Summer Seasonal III
Favorite Pokémon:
I'm definitely a big fan of Ultra Necrozma, cause this mon is just soooo powerfull
Overview:
I'm a 19 years old french boy, studiying medicine and playing chess a lot
What is your name's origin?
Well my name's story is pretty uninteresting, "Royal" was my first Internet surname on League of Legends, and i just added my birthday to it
We'd love to hear some background information about your interest into Pokemon.
I play pokemon since I'm about 6-7 years old, tryharding all the games especially Silver/Gold versions, then i stopped it after BW cause I thought I was too old, but a friend told me about Showdown in July 2017 and I instantly loved it
What have attracted you into Ubers?
I started Showdown playing random battle, then I watched a lot of replays from top players and when I saw Ubers matches i realized this was the tier I liked the most, so I started talking with French Ubers players who helped me a lot understanding this tier.
What is your favorite playstyle? What generation do you like the most?
I would say my favorite playstyle is Hyper Offense, especially webs teams, but it's really too match up reliant to play it every time.
How do you feel about the Gothitelle & Gothorita suspect?
I don't have a "frozen view" about this mons, I voted no ban for the suspect cause Gothi usage is really low and i don't find it "unhealthy" even if sometimes it's really annoying, i think every team should be prepared to face Gothitelle.
Are there any elements of the metagame that you deem unhealthy?
I think the metagame is pretty healthy atm, of course Pdon, Necro-DM and some others pokemons are everywhere but they're not broken enough to be considered as unhealthy for the tier
What is your the most memorable game of Ubers?
Hunterstorm's team: Arceus-Ground / Groudon / Lunala / Rayquaza / Necrozma-Dusk-Mane / Cloyster
The Trap God's team: Groudon / Toxapex / Blaziken / Zygarde / Arceus-Dark / Necrozma-Dusk-Mane
Hunterstorm vs The Trap God for Snake, I was really impressed by TTG prep, during the match I really thought he'll loose this one.
Royal1604's team: Yveltal / Necrozma-Dusk-Mane / Kyogre / Arceus-Fairy / Marshadow / Salamence
squinn's team: Groudon / Yveltal / Necrozma-Dusk-Mane / Arceus-Ground / Ferrothorn / Salamence
And I'll post this one, my last game of the Summer seasonal, because I can't describe my feelings after this game.
What do you value the most from Ubers Seasonal run?
The Ubers Summer Seasonal was my best Showdown experience, I met so many nice people and played so many incredible games against incredible players. The win is quite anecdotic, of course I'm really happy to have won it, but more than the win it gave me a solid tour experience and an other vision of the tier.
Do you plan on signing up for bigger tournaments like UPL in the future?
I didn't get pick in the last UPL, i was clearly too new and inexperienced in the tier. I think i will sign up for the next one, we'll see what will happen. My biggest objective in pokemon is to be drafted for example in SSD in the next years, when i see all the god players playing it I hope i'll be able to get their level in the next years.
What new or existing users or players in Ubers do you look up to?
What new or existing users or players in Ubers do you look up to? As a surprise i'll quote here all French Ubers Players helping me a lot in building and testing my teams, KyogreF4N Alkione Eramoth cielbakasan l'habitat and of course Master Webs Sharow-san. I'm a big fan of Garay oak cause I find he makes insane in-game plays. Finally, I find Zesty43 and The Trap God so fire atm, they both have incredible builds and play so well
What are your advice for new players getting into Ubers?
If you want to get into the tier, begin with smogon teams and smogon builds to learn the tier, then start building your teams. You will progress a lot playing your own teams, but you need to begin with solid teams buildt by solid players to understand and learn the tier.
Please share a set that you think is the most underrated and a set that is the most overrated in Ubers.
Underrated:
Salamence-Mega @ Salamencite
Ability: Aerilate
Happiness: 0
EVs: 248 HP / 68 Def / 192 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Refresh
- Defog
- Body Slam
- Roost
I love this set, you can para mons on switch, free switch-in on status and win vs HO
Overrated:
Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Solganium Z
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Polish
- Swords Dance
- Sunsteel Strike
- Earthquake
I think this set is not optimal atm, I prefer Bulky Necro, you can set up SR pretty free many times and toxic some mons on switches
Would you provide us with a team and add a brief description?
This team is based on 2 wincond with Unecro and GeoXern, Scarf Yveltal is here to RK/take some momentum, we have a classic sdef Pdon to set up SR and toxic some mons, a defensive Kyogre with Rest Talk to switch in on status, and a magic coat ceus to win vs HO and surprise Def Yveltal with toxic which is pretty frequent at the moment.
To finish this interview I just would like to say fuck Carmin06.
