Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I mixed my two favorite Pokemon together. I added two random numbers and got '56.' After looking at it, I thought '55' looked better, and there it was.
Hard to say. It would have to be the first time I discovered the importance of having all your Pokemon at or around the same level, my obsession with Ampharos and its Thunder Punch, or my bro and me catching Lugia at near full health and no status with a Great Ball by tapping 'B'. =p
