Yes, you can see why I went for stall at the beginning, even if it ended up not working. And zdrup, what were you doing studying Quantum Mechanics into the small hours of the night? This space is reserved for a pun about Quantum that I cannot quite pin down the location of atm, because I am quickly rushing out the door.

I have weekly evaluations so yeah.
And you used stall against me. Very bulky mons, SR, TS and phazing are stallish (you only needed spikes). And T-tar without scizor to check it is a monster...
 
You think that was stall? Stall was when I had:
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Max defences
-Roar
-Stockpile
-Slack Off
-Rock Slide/Substitute

It only came in when TS, SR and SS were up, and after one Stockpile it becomes instantly impossible to KO without crits.
 
Then which request are people supposed to ignore? It sounds like you will grudgingly accept both.

I see. Seems I wasn't fairly clear...sorry about that.

What I mean was Rule 6:

Rule 6: If you don't like a pokemon, and refuse to use it, when you post the challange you HAVE to say what it is and to not let it on. If someone posts a pokemon and you don't like it, and you never said no to it, to bad.

As mentioned in my original posts, the pokemon I refuse to use are Luvdisc and Clamperl
 
So, Aura, you're willing to take the plunge too.Cool.

In that case how about a MGO (Mono Grass Oddish). He can only use Grass attacks, but any attacks you want. That's right, even the powders. And name him Puffgrass, evolve him into Gloom, and then Vileplume.

Hey three letter long monotype pokemon is my idea! No stealing my awesomeness! :(

Oh and my sig is deliberately like that. Apparenlty only three people have noticed it ao far. ;)
 
Okay, guys, I beat zdrup 3-0 due to a huge team advantage (and my great skill into the bargain). Nice tournament everyone. Now I just want to see what happens to Dexington. HE MUST BE KEPT AT OR BELOW A SCORE OF 2-0!

Doesn't seem too impossible.

Zdrup showing mercy to me when I missed 3 overheats in a row may be the turning point of this tourney! :naughty:
 
Really? I was thinking of doing my match with Vratix as well: it was great. He has he not won one yet??
No he hasn't.
I actually only saved the log with my battle against Doom. But most of the matches I've had were "good enough to war-story."

One notable exception was my most recent match (against Dexington, if I recall correctly) where I just played like feces.


On another note, I would love to read any of the logs you guys have saved. If I weren't so busy I would even offer to right a few war-story from the outside.


p.s. Quantum Mechanics is baby-games. Space Fluids is where it's at.
Quantum Mechanics. Psh, more like Physics 2.5.
 
I meant to say "How has he not won one yet?"

And I saved our match: I can reveal now that the way I won was, Hippowdon having being tricked Choice Specs, Hippowdon used Slack Off as one by one his three or so remaining Pokemon fell to Toxic Spikes. It was a great and funny way to finish a fun battle.

And baby games. psh.

I don't like when hax shows up. In truth I should have beat you 3-0 and Paradox 5-0. But it didn't make a difference to me as I needed to win one of my last 2 and I didn't.
 
No, but it could make a difference overall: it looks like Dexington and I will will tie on 15 points, so goal difference will end up deciding it. How much did you beat him by after you showed mercy (just so I can be annoyed if it turns out to be the winning margin)?
 
alright, so here's my current scramble mons

Diggums - Sandshrew. Must be male, and must be used in every battle against a male. Can only evolve after soloing Norman's second slaking, and only if no-one faints.
(Vratix)

Florina - Roselia. Can only learn Grass/Poison type attacks.
(auramaster)

Nuzlocke - Seedot. Once evolved, must learn Fake Out, but cannot use it on the first turn of a match. Can evolve into Shiftry once it solos a trainer/pokemon using swagger.
(Dark Ray)

Flapper - Zubat. Must hold a Cheri Beri in order to gain EXP or battle at all. Must solo two of Wattson's pokemon for it to evolve into Crobat.
(Its A Random)

Puffgrass - Oddish. Can only use Grass Attacks. Must evolve into Vileplume.
(Puffinrock)

I'm still needing one more. Any suggestions?
 
Honestly, whoever gave him that Oddish deserves to have their head put on a stick and then set on fire while everyone else celebrates.

I am the only one allowed to give Mono Type Pokemon (or MTP's for short), and anyone else who tries to copy my idea has no creativity!

Also, you'll note i gave out Luvdisc and Pachirisu. They DON'T evolve. Oddish does. So either buzz off, or at least have the decency to shaft him with a Sunkern (that evolves, but it's not like it matters, Sun-whatever's still a shitpile).

Paladin: Take a MSM (that's Mono Steel Mawile). It must not participate in any battle until it has a Steel type move through Level Up (that's Iron Defense at Lv. 41), so give it Exp. Share, and it must have reached 41 by the E4. From then, it must NOT hold Exp. Share, and can only use Steel Moves in battle (next one's 56 for Iron Head). You may teach it Flash Cannon through TM at any time (because it's a Steel Move), but all other rules apply, so even if it know FC, it can't battle till Lv. 41 at the earliest).

See now, people? MTP's must be single type, non evolving, non legendary, and given out by TREADSHOT A1. Understand? Good. Paladin, name your MSM "F***YouA1!"
 
Umm, just an FYI Treadshot, but I did say I was playing ruby. No Steel-type move of any sort that aren't Iron Defense. Is it possible to count Steel-Type Hidden Power?
 
Damn, looking at Seedot i assumed it was Ruby. Oh wait, that wouldn't work either, i was looking off of Gen IV charts on Bulbapedia. Sorry.

In that case, same thing, MSM that can't battle till it learns Iron Defense by level up. Hidden Power Steel will be allowed given that there is no other steel move. Good luck finding one, though. Also, if you really can't find a HP Steel MSM, then it may instead know Baton Pass and use that in battles along with Iron Defense.

Yeah, have fun giving half your EXP to that piece of shit. lol
 
whoops I am doing Ruby, silly me.

Alright, so, it looks like I have my team all ready, now it's just a matter of starting! Wish me luck!

Also, Treadshot, Thanks for giving me a pokemon whose STAB covers my very large Ice-Type Weakness. You're really kind like that.
 
No, but it could make a difference overall: it looks like Dexington and I will will tie on 15 points, so goal difference will end up deciding it. How much did you beat him by after you showed mercy (just so I can be annoyed if it turns out to be the winning margin)?

It only ended up 2-0 like it should have. I missed overheat 3 times on a Steelix. Like, really?

I beat him 2-0 because I switched steelix to die after some misses on mamo. It wasn't the only time it happened and I'd do the same against you if hax showed up.

@Dexington now doom knows one of your pokes has overheat.
 
Since I'm done in the Scramble tourney, I'll post my team.

The Truly Bad Team

235.png

277.png
468.png
454.png
115.png


4 Normal types, 2 Poison types, no Fire resistence, and only 1 resistence/immunity to most types. It is TERRIBLE on defense. However, it is also an offensive powerhouse, thanks mostly to Swellow and Nidoking. This team is all about Hyper Offense, keeping the momentum and outpredicting the opponent to get my Pokemon in safely. While it has severe problems with tough physical walls, and Rotom, overall it can usually find a way to break through the opponent's walls to win.

smeargle.png
@Focus Sash
Jolly, 252 Atk/252 Spe, 0 IV's in HP, Defense, and Special Defense. Level 100
~Spore
~Stealth Rock
~Endeavor
~Extremespeed

This is a lead set I've wanted to try out for a while. The idea is that since most leads are slow, and (in the SPL) don't carry Lum Berry, he can Spore first turn easily. Stealth Rock while they switch to something faster, then Endeavor as they attack, and finish with Extremespeed. Rarely works as intended, but when successful I start 6-4 with Stealth Rock up, and it can still come back later to cause more trouble :) Even if it doesn't work, I still Spore something and can usually set up Rocks, or come back later to Endeavor.


bronzong.png
@ Macho Brace
Sassy, 252 HP/62 Atk/104 Def/92 SpD
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
~Gyro Ball
~Earthquake

The only defensive Pokemon on my team, and my only resistence to 6 types. I picked the Restalk set because I discovered in my first two battles that the team quickly fell apart without Bronzong. It was originally a Dual Screener, which was also lacking in power. Macho Brace fit with the offensive nature of the team, allowing Bronzong to be an offensive threat as well as keep my team together.


nidoking.png
@ Life Orb
Naughty, 252 Atk/168 SpA/88 Spe
~Earthquake
~Megahorn
~Ice Beam
~Thunderbolt/Surf

Nidoking was consistently the most dangerous Pokemon on my team. While it lacked the raw power of Swellow, Nidoking could outrun most Pokemon and hit them with a super effective attack. Not much to say, very dangerous as a late-game cleaner and stall breaker.


swellow.png
@ Toxic Orb
Jolly, 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 SpD
~Facade
~Brave Bird
~U-Turn
~Quick Attack

The strongest member by far, Swellow could break through almost any Pokemon causing me trouble. Although it was too fragile to come in very often, it's a great scout and revenge killer, while breaking through many walls. Biggest problem is its terrible movepool, which really hurt me against the Rotoms.


togekiss.png
@ Leftovers
Timid, 20 HP/252 SpA/236 Spe
~Air Slash
~Aura Sphere
~Thunder Wave/Nasty Plot
~Roost

Extremely overrated. I've never understood why Togekiss was OU, and I'm still having trouble figuring it out. It doesn't have the bulk or resistences to be a great supporter like Blissey, yet it doesn't have the Speed needed to sweep. It's just kinda stuck in the middle, outclassed on both sides. Why go to Togekiss when I have Swellow? Or Bronzong? Still, as the only Special Attacker besides Nidoking, it helped some against walls like Hippowdon, and it's Special Defense was the closest I had to a Fire resist. Not completely useless, but one of the less useful ones.


toxicroak.png
@ Life Orb
Adamant, 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
~Cross Chop/Low Kick
~Sucker Punch
~Swords Dance
~Taunt

My sweeper and other revenge killer, Toxicroak didn't see much use. When I did send it out, it was usually to just Sucker Punch something. With only a couple of Water type Pokemon in the SPL, Toxicroak didn't get many chances to set up and sweep, but when it did, it proved dangerous with Taunt and Sucker Punch. However, if any walls attacked instead of trying to cripple it with a status move, Toxicroak's defenses struggled to take it. Still, fun to use :)


kangaskhan.png
@ Choice Band
Don't remember natures or EV's
~Return
~Sucker Punch
~Earthquake?
~Don't remember

Kangaskhan should not be UU. Not at all. The thing is completely overshadowed by so many Pokemon it isn't even funny. I cannot fathom why anyone would use it in UU. I only used it one time, and there was no reason for me to send it out until it was the last Pokemon left, at which point I was down 1-3 and had no chance of a comeback. It doesn't have the resistences or bulk to come in much, it doesn't have the speed to beat much, and doesn't have any niche to make it useful. I don't play UU, maybe someone could explain why he's used? I just don't get it.
 
I beat him 2-0 because I switched steelix to die after some misses on mamo. It wasn't the only time it happened and I'd do the same against you if hax showed up.

@Dexington now doom knows one of your pokes has overheat.


That narrows it down to every fire Pokemon plus a few more... I doubt he'll over plan based on one move.
 
@Auramaster:

101 HP Subs, Scrappy Focus Punches, Scrappy Return, and all-around nice defences and offences.

yes but looking at his team there is no one I would switch Kangaskhan for. (Personally I would sub his nidoking who won him the match against me but just for that xD)
 
Thanks ungulate, and zdrup's right, the only Pokemon that could be switched out without causing some big weakness is Smeargle, and I would rather have lead Smeargle then lead Kangaskhan.

Yeah, with that smeargle you have the chance to start the battle with 6-4 and SR (spore someone, SR on the switch, endeavor when they try to KO and Extremespeed to kill)
