I have been running slowbro since the beginning, can I just drop Regirock and play on the same account or do I need to start a new one?

Unfortunately, I've been using slowbro, so I believe that nobody can use slowbro to reach the HoF anymore.

Someone can steal Slowbro from you, GatoDelFuego

Ah, that is ture, now I understand. It's based off highest ladder position...I thought that after somebody got into the HoF, then nobody else could use that poke. My mistake.

yeah wynaut go for it, just change the stuff in your reg and i'll update accordingly

Updated my post. I had to start over and am using more DH pokes.
Updated again. Made hall of fame.

Made it




I had a really good win loss record, but I had very few easy matches. For the most part I used Vaporeon as a rain starter and, I ended up foddering it almost every match. At the end, I replaced it with Amoongus, and it seemed to work well. I played against very few sun teams, who probably would have wrecked me. I'll probably try to ladder up with this team a bit more, but I don't think I'll get very far with it.

Updated OP with the set I used, in case one of you running this wants to add it to the HoF :)

Is it ok if I add chansey to the list of DH pokemon I'm currently using? I've been using it since I started, but I didn't realize it was a DH

Pocket EDIT: yes

Using Rain Dance Hydration Vaporeon as a weather inducer is not fun....

Can you add pokemon to your dark horse team? I recently put Cloyster over one of my pokemon and I didn't realize Zapdos was a Dark horse. I've only had 2 battles with the team before the changes.

This is my first time doing this so I'm going to take a shot at this.

As far as I know, you are completely free to change the pokemon around as much as you want as long as you keep the DH poke you signed up with on the team.

if zapdos has been used throughout all the battles on your alt, then yeah you can go ahead and add it to your registration. 2 battles without it... well, i'm not gonna nitpick, but it is supposed to be on a "fresh" alt per se. use your judgment, it's not like we're gonna hunt down your logs and make sure =P

oh and it seems gato interpreted your question slightly differently so i'll answer that as well: yeah, the only thing that has to be constant about the alt you use is that every battle must have your registered dark horse(s) on the team you use. otherwise, the rest of the team is free (barring the four pokemon that have been banned).

oh and slowking, lucario is NOT a dark horse, lol not even close. kingdra is however so i'll take that registration

After cheking my rank I noticed that I had an extra battle I didn't remember from when I tried to get reqs with that alt. Restarting this with another alt.

Updated my post with screenshot. I'll list my sets when I finish laddering.
