Won 2-1 vs FLCL in some close games, gg man.

I was super weak to Gliscor because I didn't expect FLCL to betray his nation! I built all my teams with that in mind, and changed a few sets in my third team before the game to adapt to the Purple Threats.

Here are the teams I used in the final:

HO Sash Spam, like FLCL old RMT haha. I was scared of Chesnaught and Venu, so I originally had Aerial Ace on Tyrantrum. I also had Stone Edge on Chomp for Togekiss, but FLCL seemed to love Gliscor! Crunch Stong Jaw Tantrum for Bronzong and further help Chomp.

Thanks a lot Reymedy for hosting such a cool tournament, you made it really funnier and more attractive for the players.

[pokebasket]

Congratulations, McMeghan , deserved win ^^

Well, thanks Reymedy for hosting such a great tournament and everyone who has participated. I've had a lot of fun building teams and playing games.

I was chosen to play with Brown type, so when I saw the list I could see a lot of sweepers without counter, like Landorus, Mega-Pinsir and specially Mamoswine. That's why I decide to build a team with a lot of checks and priorities. ScarfTran, SashKazam, SSneakDoublade, QuickAttackPinsir and 2 walls. I'm really proud of my team and how it worked.

These have been my teams for this tournament:

Hide

Heatran @ Choice Scarf

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Pinsir @ Pinsirite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

- Swords Dance

Doublade @ Eviolite
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Swords Dance

Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 108 SpD / 16 Spe
Impish Nature
- Toxic
- Roost
- Defog
- Foul Play

I made this team to play against the other Brown players, and it worked fairly well. I built around Mega-Pinsir because when I saw the brown list, I realized that it was the hugest threat. However, I don't remember facing any Pinsir xD The other members can counter or check Pinsir and other threats as well. Doublade was my favorite pokemon and it was decisive in every game. I used Ice Fang and Dazzling Gleam in semifinals iirc because I was afraid of Landorus and Mandibuzz.

Finally, I made this team to face McMeghan at semifinals. It was so difficult to build a team who could deal with all the pokes he could use, but well, I tried. I had also troubles because I was on my holidays and couldn't be at the computer much time. Eventually I made this team based on Sand + Exca, supported with my dear mascot ScarfTran and its mate SashKazam. The MVP was supposed to be Pasho SubSDTerrakion, but his ScarfRotom-W destroyed my dream :´(

Thanks for everything :D
