Cartoons! Kevin Garrett aragornbird Energy Storm

Well we did our best, and we made it close. Not really much we can do now, looks like in the end we were just outdone on the day.

I won, gg Platinum ^_^

9 until 11... that's 1 until 3 for me. I'll make no guarantee that I'll be awake (since it's been hit and miss that way over these holidays!), but I should be around at least once during those times over the weekend. I'll go under the name Shadowzelf when I'm on. See you then! :)

OK, I clearly wasn't around in the right timeframe for you today. It's hard when you're GMT +8 and I don't get up in the morning, lol. Can we schedule a play time, rather than just hoping to meet up? I would rather have a definite time that I need to be on at, rather than hitting and hoping...

I haven't actually been on the thing in ages, so I don't exactly have a name on there atm (especially not on Smogon's board, since I haven't been on there at all). I'll either be on as Shadowzelf or gamercal when I do get myself on there.

GMT +8? Wow, that's unusual lol. I need to port my teams over to PO and whatnot, and given that it's christmas I really don't want to do that tomorrow/Sunday :P. I'll get myself sorted onnnn let's say Monday, and we could play sometime on Tuesday? It's the holidays, and there's plenty of time...

Yeah, as I said originally the speed is the biggest issue. If it could outpace more than Belly Drum would be much more useful, but as it stands I'm just not seeing it. The point of using Daruma > Encourage was pretty much meant as a safer way of being able to get Belly Drum off without...

You miss the point there. The idea is to Rest back up to full HP BECAUSE you revert back. Because then you've gathered +6 Atk to use with base 140 Atk... at that point you aren't looking for taking hits, since you'd kill just about anything that stood in your way. And you'd be back to normal speed.

I dunno how many attacks Daruma mode can survive at just 50%, but... ChestoRest seems like it would be alright with Belly Drum. Pretty much guaranteed to start the next turn at 100% since it's pretty much always going to be going last in that mode, and with that much Atk you wouldn't even need...

Focus Energy doesn't stack... and I believe it doesn't stack with Lansat either, incase you'd try to use both.

I guess then that a very large proportion of normal attacks used are Explosion, and that almost all Fighting moves not named SToss used are either CC, Focus Blast or Focus Punch. Crazy high power there... I didn't read the full stat list particularly thoroughly as I have other stuff to do, but...

I always thought I'd be the same way as that when I started playing competitive. But the more I play, the more I seem to be using choice sets somewhere... I guess I don't usually find time to set up much with my style of play, so choice items are good for the more instant fix type of play. I...

Blaziken doesn't get U-Turn, and both are only neutral to SR, not resistant. Just a slight correction there. Surprise factor is always nice, but unfortunately it only works for the first hit you give. After that, it's usually fairly obvious if you're choiced, since your damage/speed was much...

I don't think your threat list is really ACCURATE you know. Here's a couple of problems: Infernape is NOT a Tyranitar counter - either Stone Edge or EQ will OHKO on the switch. Even if you get it in safely, Tyran will just switch, and make you pay for Infernape's frailty next time you attempt...
