I decided to switch Roserade for Venusaur, fortunately i have not yet begun to ladder so this should not be an issue! (yes venusaur is a dark horse as well)

Oh man, i'mma change up my Darkhorse here sometime next week. I got the most severe tilt i've ever had, ending in a match where a Dragonite fully paralzyed my pokemon 12 times in 1 game when it shouldve been ko'd by Bullet Punch T4.

Updating the list momentarily, just posting to say that more than one person can claim a Pokemon, as long as that Pokemon hasn't reached the HoF this month already (for example, Kingdra is now off limits.) Have fun, guys!

EDIT: Now updated through Raseri.

Birkal, you oughta consider doing this for more than three months, as I feel like this project has evolved beyond its original purpose of learning about the metagame. It's become almost like the Scramble Challange, where it's just something fun for people to do (well, not "just", but you know what I mean).

PS- Just tilted, but simply couldn't make myself stop playing. Went from almost 1300 to low 1100's.......... fuck.

Cool mons, Raseri - must've been a blast laddering up with a fun Rain Offense Team! Make sure to update your registration post :d

Congrats for getting 3 mons into HoF!

SlimMan · Mar 4th, 2012, 11:24:55 AM

Damn Raseri, 107 battles?
I only do like 10 a day normally, if that.
What a boss.

MAJOR CONGRATS to Noodlez who just set the bar higher, peaking 1470 (#9) with his Kingdra! If he breaks 1500, I may just have to make an additional tier class just for Noodlez :)

Some questions to Noodlez - which Kingdra variant has proven more useful in the long run? And is Specs Kingdra's trait really Sniper???

Again, congrats for claiming the #1 spot!

No, I'm not just trying to used an incredibly unused Pokemon. I think Escavalier truly does have potential and is not outclassed by that stupid Scizor.
