My bad, lol. It depends, if you're a Master and the person that's using the card is in Juniors/Seniors and you are going to a European Nationals or a US Regionals, then by all means go ahead. But you won't be able to do that at US Nationals/Worlds since all three divisions play the the same time.
Hey guys, I have a quick question for you.
My friend wants to play in a Regionals, so he bought a Pokémon White game. However, he bought it on Ebay, and it's a bootleg. He asked me if he could still enter the tournament with that game, but I really have no idea. (I don't think he can though.) He said he'd buy another game if he couldn't use the bootleg, but he'd still like to know if he can use it.

Yeah I thought so too. Thanks for the answer!
I doubt it, but you could take this list (which also tells you how much damage each one will take, so you don't have to calculate it yourself) and compare it to the usage stats.
Is using Absol in a Trick Room a good idea?
I guess it'd work, but I dunno how good Absol in general would be since it's so weak to priority.
You're better off with Honchkrow or Bisharp to be honest since they're basically the same but better. None of them are Pokémon I'd personally use, though. Sucker punch is just too much of a "bad guy move" lol since there's potential for your opponent to heroically outplay you while you're stuck doing... bad guy tactics.
This isn't a question, or even an answer to a question exactly, but just sharing some information with people that I have.
I sent another e-mail to TPCi, asking whether the European National tournaments are going to be Single Elimination or Swiss. My reply was obviously one that didn't help much. They just explain that all currently available information for the public is listed on the website(s). However, they did point me to the US/Can Regional tournament section as part of my answer, so perhaps the European tournaments will follow suit in regards to the US/Can Regional tournaments.

No. They're in the final stages of finding a venue for it. We'll have a thread up pretty quickly when it's announced.

That's really not a simple question. Probably the most important factor in a battle, prediction, is something you have to learn on your own through experience - we can't help you with that.
As far as team building, there's three things you want to focus on, beyond having the move and slow Pokémon. First, you want things that help the move get set up - Fake Out, Follow Me, etc. Second, you want a variety of attackers that can cover all of the major threats with as little redundancy as possible. Make sure to use multiple different types of moves and a mix of physical and special attackers. The most important part of building the team, though, is making sure that it still works if Trick Room isn't up. Sometimes you'll make a mistake, or they'll stall it out, or something like that, and you need to be able to handle not having the advantage.
I can't really give any specific information beyond that, because ultimately it needs to be your team and you need to know how it works if you want to win.
I would do this myself but no dmg cacs have been working for me.(just my broken computer). Can someone help me find the evspread a metagross needs to ohko a hitmontop(252hp) with zenheadbutt and 2hko a latios with meteor mash?
