Having used Drap extensively in Battle Tower, I can confirm that 21 acupressures does actually give you +6 in everything.

You have speed EVs invested in all of your pokemon, but you have no scarfed pokes, so you're basically letting your team accept a huge weakness in that area. Also, you have no walls to speak of (HP invested in some pokes doesn't count), so you should probably fix that. Also, consider running...

I'll be attending Tulane University in New Orleans to double major (maybe) in Trombone Performance and Political Science. I may end up doing drama or something with writing or who knows what though.

Interesting team although I don't really like some of your sets too much. Good warstory though!

'greed. I like using a specially bulky Miltank to confuse opponents and just have a general tank of a poke.

CMT for Shiny Ninetales. I'll probably be back here soon, your NU pokes (the tier I prefer) are killer good!

I really like your team a lot, and I don't have TOO many alterations to suggest. I've recently switched that exact Venomoth set with a focus sash to my starter position on my NU/UU team however and it's worked wonders, so I would recommend at least giving that a shot as your lead, since Sableye...

Really excited to see Arcade Fire live at Lollapalooza. In my opinion, few albums ever can top Funeral, so I would say Funeral >>>>> Neon Bible.

Umm lurk moar. But in all seriousness, what I wanted to say has been said by hitmon64. You have great team-building resources at your disposal, and your team simply doesn't have any sensical threads.

I think the Lakers should win, but I hope it's at least an exciting series, since in my opinion the competitors are pretty boring. Personally, I'm a Blazers and Bulls fan, so I'm just waiting till the summer so Chicago can pick up Bron. :D

Used to play every week at FNM and regularly with friends, sort of stopped before heading into high school. My best finish was 2nd at FNM, but I did go to a draft/release thing back in the Kamigawa days. Yeah... LOVE MTG.

I came a long time ago as you can tell by my join date, and initially I didn't stay because I didn't want to put in the effort to be a competitive battler. Now I've been somewhat regular just because I love it here! Everyone is pretty nice, it's a great resource, and I've learned a lot.

I think you have enough special defensive bulk on your team that Nasty Plot is strictly better than Calm Mind on your Jynx.

I do think this gen is looking a bit too "cool" and detailed looking for my taste, but I'm still very eager to play these games and I hope the other pokemon are great!

Lead Girafarig has been working wonders for me. Against many stealth rock leads, Grass Knot is either a KO or easy to finish off with Psychic. Against sleeper leads which seems to be a lot of them, Magic Coat consistently surprises the opponent and gives you a huge advantage. I haven't been...
