These two bans really caught me off guard. I think Thundurus was okay to be banned, but I'm still on the fence about Excadrill. However, I've agreed with every other smogon decision up to this point, so I'm not about to denounce it just because they made one decision that I'm not 100% for...

Well, I've got all my challenges, so I think I'll get started! ^-^ I'll keep you updated on my team roster, due to many of the challenges depending on dice rolls and gender. See ya later!

Okay, so I've got three pokemon down: Marzipan the Wurmple: If silcoon, silcoon must use only attacking moves and once beautifly, needs to use gust every time it's sent out. If cascoon, cascoon can't use attacking moves, and once dustox, must know frustration/thief and solo any...

Both gladly excepted. Also, extra points for Newby n0Ob for making a homestarrunner reference. It just made my day :) Two down, four to go!

I've never done anything like this before. In fact, I haven't even posted in this thread before now. I want to eventually do one of these for heartgold, but I have a bunch of valuable pokes there and don't have a chance to transfer them at the moment. So, I would like a scramble challenge for...

I've never played little cup before. Maybe I'll just slap the top six pokes on a team and learn the metagame :3

Very VERY minor nitpick here, but in the first paragraph you say "It has an excellent base 130 Special Defense stat" when it has base 135 special defense.

I suppose that's true. Everyone uses a sand team, and while sand isn't broken, scizor, tyranitar, and excadrill w/ x-scissor can all handle latios. Oh well. All I can say is, I'm voting to ban latios.

There is only one true counter to Latios, and that is Jirachi. Specially defensive Jirachi can take draco meteor (or even a few HP fires) and paraflinch it to death. Blissey and other steel types (such as ferrothorn, bronzong etc.) can take its moves, but can't do much to it as it can simply...

I agree with Kefka. Also, like I said before, there ARE solid ways to take care of latios. But they are few and far between, and you are often forced to switch around your team to specifically take care of latios. It just seems a bit too overcentralized to me

I personally think that the only thing that needs banning this round is Latios. Weather has stabilized without chomp, Thundurus can be taken care of fairly easily, but Latios is just a pain in the neck. You will have absolutely 0% chance of getting very far in this metagame without a steel...
