Sorry. Round 1 akela vs Gale vs KO|70|HP|40|77 KO|78|EN|84|71 KO|Fine|Status|-2 Spe|-2 Spe 4/4/4/3|5/5/4/3|Stats|5/3/1/3|5/3/4/4 Hail forever, Stealth Rock (Gale) It seems that sometimes, type advantage trumps second order. This is one such time, as Aurorus is swiftly beaten down with 4x SE...

It encourages fixing the match, as if the self-ref doesn't let the opponent win (and thus reducing the net rewards), then they're being a dick. Most people (including myself probably) wouldn't intentionally reduce the rewards gotten from a match. Now, it encourages fixing the match in favor of...

The poison build seems really strong in general, imo. Changes that I think should happen: 5-point: +Sniper +Venom Drench +Poison Gas -Stench -Gooey -Poison Powder -Dry Skin 10-point: +Stench -Rage Powder -Sniper Raise Shield Dust to 5 points 15-point: -Poison Gas -Toxic Spikes (redundant)...

I'd disagree with that statement. Many gym challengers (depending on the type) bring a team of nothing but type advantage. There are types it works well for (Dark, Grass, and Ice come to mind), and types it doesn't (such as Electric and Psychic). A gym leader needs to be able to prepare for...

Free abilities in the old thread: Dry Skin, Early Bird, Gluttony, Hustle, Keen Eye, Moxie, Natural Cure, Reckless, Run Away, Stall, Tangled Feet, Unburden Some of these are better than others, and there are some other abilities that probably deserve to be free (some of these shouldn't be free...

I had plenty of free abilities in my original writeups. I honestly don't see the problem with free ones, they're not good abilities, and you're already spending points to get them by way of typing. Often more than the abilities cost in the old system. (Also use my dark writeup in the OP and...

Honestly, many gyms are much more suited for doubles+ than singles, and I think it would be better to judge the candidates based on how well they play in their chosen format rather than 3v3 singles (unless 3v3 singles is the chosen format, obviously). Probably make the battle size equal to the...

Frosty DQ warning I know you're on LoA, but it was more of a "things will be slow" and it's been twice DQ time.
