  1. VGC 2012 Warstory: Skill Swap for the...win?

    Oh. That match. Aha....yeah, that was me. ^^; Got myself steamrolled on that one; the look on my bro's face when I told him I got murdered by a Pikachu and a Butterfree was pretty priceless. I honestly wasn't expecting much when I saw the team preview, but I guess that's what I deserve for...
  2. VGC 2012 Warstory: Skill Swap for the...win?

    No, I...actually didn't know I could save battle video codes and I overwrote this video with a more recent win. I don't really know how the codes work, actually....
  3. VGC 2012 Warstory: Skill Swap for the...win?

    ...Whoops, I thought it was 80; I didn't check when I wrote it. Still more accurate than Focus Blast. I'll fix that. Er- who, me? I'm...afraid I don't know who Huy is...
  4. VGC 2012 Warstory: Skill Swap for the...win?

    I don't use Salamence any more on this team; he's been replaced by a Hydreigon. I might try him again, but I'll definitely go Dragon Claw over Dragon Rush next time...
  5. VGC 2012 Warstory: Skill Swap for the...win?

    Thought I'd throw this warstory out there, 'cause this was one hell of a match... Setting: Fall VGC 2011/2012, Long Beach, CA If memory serves, it was the second-to-last match of the day. This was my first really competitive tournament, and I’d already had a couple good wins; I managed to...
  6. Doubles Team for Random Matchup and VGC

    Totally missed this reply, haven't been on in a while. >_> Oops. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions; however, while Giga Impact does more damage, it'll also leave Slaking a sitting duck on the next turn since I'm using Skill Swap to remove Truant anyway, and even if I don't get the Skill Swap...
  7. Doubles Team for Random Matchup and VGC

    So now that the Dream World decided to stop messing with me, I've managed to make some tweaks. I swapped Slaking's Choice Band for a Life Orb and it's been working pretty well. I'm thinking of replacing Shadow Claw with Fire Punch (once BW2 comes out, anyway... >_>) and replacing Brick Break...
  8. Doubles Team for Random Matchup and VGC

    That explanation...actually makes more sense. That helps. So....I'm thinking either a Starmie or a Gastrodon, because I want to keep my own water coverage if I'm replacing Octillery. Gastrodon is bulkier, though the Thunderbolt coverage and speed from a Life Orb Starmie wouldn't hurt I...
  9. Doubles Team for Random Matchup and VGC

    Oh, those 4 extra EVs....they're there on everyone, I just don't know what they are. I guess the one measly extra stat point never seemed worth it to me. Slaking's a bit situational, but I still like the wreckage the Band gives me. He's unfortunately my only EQ user at the moment though. I...
  10. Doubles Team for Random Matchup and VGC

    I most frequently use these guys on the random matchup doubles, and on the ‘tournament’ things that the GL puts up every now and then. Hopefully I’ll get to use them at fall VGC 2013, barring any rule changes. It’s essentially a read-and-react team. A couple notes, I’m not really willing to...
