Exactly! Me and some of my friends from Baylor met Scorcho and people in his pokemon club at OSU. If I could manage to get a Baylor Pokemon club going I'm sure Scorcho and I could work something out for a Tournament or something. Our schools are even in the same Conference, its perfect haha!

This would promote great community among pokemon battlers and would give people a chance to get a feel for the style of a VGC tournament before going to a regional.

This is why Duy and I are trying to set up the National Collegiate Pokemon Association. However, it helps to have individually healthy Pokemon communities so that when we link them together, we'll have something spectacular.

Gonna update the OP with the Skarmbliss special. I can't thank you guys enough for all the support you're giving.

If you want my rain team that I used at nats here it is:

Hide

This one revolves around keeping Ferrothorn alive so he can tank to win. You gotta kill the Ferro counters with the leads such as fire/ fighting users. It works great and is kinda easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Attacking all the campuses with fliers and posting them on a weekly (or some other frequency) basis

I'd be VERY careful with this, I know on OSU's campus if you don't have a stamp of approval from the college on every single flier it will get taken down and possibly get your club the banhammer...

Posting them respectively with the campus rules is implied

Also on that rain team Jrank, we might need something a little more basic like Kingdra and Gastrodon with rain abilities and stuff to teach people like ALL the strengths of rain and then like go from there

I've tested both of them on the team (obviously I've used it a lot because it was my regs team), and Kingdra sucks and Gastrodon is weak. It already has a Swift Swim mon (Ludicolo), and another mon with a rain ability (Toxicroak). I may be biased but I don't think anything on the team should be changed, and adding in either of those two allow you to be destroyed by a certain shroom.

Yeah jrank thats true, but come to think of it maybe thats a good thing, so we can teach people to beat specific threats
