That might be a little difficult - you might get 1 or 2, but Dialga will be dead. Spread moves like EQ will be just as popular, and Mewtwo can always Aura Sphere it.

Oh well, so much for that. Luckily I already have a couple, so yeah.
As for team ideas....that I'm not sure of. Now that I think of it, Me First Mewtwo could have potential...Just use it to steal Water Spout and use it against them.
You'd have to use it on a non-Scarf Kyogre though. If someone decides to use a CM Ogre, it's not a bad idea.
??? It doesn't work that way...
Right - Me First doesn't have priority, Howie. Mewtwo would have to move faster than Kyogre, which means your opponent will have to be running a CM Ogre set, or the other option (against a Scarfed Ogre) is for you to Scarf Mewtwo yourself.
Ah. It's not a TERRIBLE idea, but it's highly situational. Mewtwo has better options available, IMO
Will people be running scarf kyogre? If they come up against a groudon, they lose weather.
What do you think most people will be running in regards to Groudon and Kyogre, max speed or minimum speed?

For leads, I think that the less skilled players using weather teams (or players who don't really care either way) will run max Speed, and the more experienced players will use minimum Speed, realizing the effects of the game mechanics and such. Some might even use a - nature Groudon/Kyogre and Macho Brace/Iron Ball or another speed reducing item to almost guarantee that they get the weather effects, since it's probably either pretty important for their teams or they just want to potentially disrupt the opponent.
I've been running Max Speed Modest Kyogre with Scarf. I haven't been using him as a lead though. The team I've been beta-testing:
Metagross @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/236 Atk/12 Def/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Bullet Punch
- Meteor Mash
---
Rayquaza @ Yache Berry
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Extremespeed
- Protect
---
Kyogre @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Drizzle
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Thunder
- Water Spout
---
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Shadow Ball
- Thunder
- Protect
Ray's there to nullify the auto-weather inducers if they lead, Protecting while Metagross blows up. If something survives it (ie a Sash Pokemon), Ray Extremespeeds on his next turn. Kyogre comes in after Metagross dies and Water Spouts until everything else dies.
Yeah. I'm tempted to just let it die when Gross blows up - since CBExplo at level 50 kills Heatran (who's resistant), it can pretty much KO anything that doesn't resist.
Try Magnet Rise Dialga.
Haha Magnet Rise Diagla would be awesome.
Well, for those of you who thought that the new Wii game might be PBR2, you are probably wrong; serebii posted today that the new Pokemon Wii game is called "PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Great Adventure". Judging by the name (lol, PIKACHU'S GREAT ADVENTURE), I don't think it will have online battling, colosseums, etc, like PBR has. Maybe they will be nice and update the current PBR with new designs for Giratina-O, shaymin-S, etc.

By the way, how does Japan handle their tournaments, as far as setting up the ladder? Do they do the horrible random draw thing as well?
considering there's that many tourneys run, they can have more people at once :/ unlike America, where they had like two places the first year and four the second year >_>, I don't understand how they expected that random selection to work, the first year, there were more substitutes than players that were selected
hee hee! XD I very much liked the "random selection" this past year, myself! XD
Heh, it wouldn't have been so bad if 50 million people showed up, I'm sure (for a lot of people anyway.) :)
That said, I do wonder if the selection process is going to be different this year, and if it is, how.
