One of the scariest team comps I saw was curse toxic orb flareon + focus sash trick room espeon. I saw it twice, and both times Flareon completely swept me. I also got swept by resttalk curse return Sylveon one since I was running toxic stall.

Fair point.

Just want to quickly confirm before I lock my battle box - Pokemon below level 30 will be raised to 30 temporarily, right?

Can I hazard a guess? One of my friends is using Choice Specs Pixilate Hyper Beam Sylveon. OHKOs everything that isn't Flareon, defensive Sylveon, or specially defensive Vaporeon. Also hits hard with Moonblast if you don't like the charge turn.

Hm okay, I'll keep that in mind thanks. By the way, would anyone be available for some practice battles right now? My friend code is 3411-2321-4441. =)

This thing starts in 10 hours, right? Say I delay registering my battle box until Saturday, do I lose out on anything? I currently have one Pokemon left to raise, and am considering rebreeding Espeon for HP Bug over Dazzling Gleam. When you factor in the lengthy process of shiny hatching (for...

So it seems that despite having the second reply to the voter ID thread, the Shuckle suspect has come and gone without me. Not that my vote would've made a difference to anything, but this does really send a strong symbolic message that I am not wanted here. Not that this is anything new - I...

Thanks for clarifying. Guess I'm spending a bunch on time in /r/SVExchange over the next few days XD

Just a quick question, since my friends and I have found the wording of the eligibility section a bit unclear: Are all Kalos-born Eevees allowed, or only ones for which you are the OT?

If Shuckle has been weakened, it probably means you already have webs up, allowing you greater options at checking and revenge killing Exploud anyway. I, however, have been running a stall Shuckle w/o webs. It's my best check to specs wallbreakers (I'm running specially defensive), as well as...

As much as removing Shuckle's Web support makes Exploud a much lesser threat (since you can actually revenge kill it), the ban also removes the best Exploud check in the tier. Like Registeel, Shuckle really doesn't care about Boomburst, however it has two other perks. Thanks to surf being weaker...

Funnily enough, I do actually believe that Shuckle is the optimal choice for my team. Its main job is to be a general nuisance. It knocks off items, applies toxic, and provides Stealth Rock support, all while tanking hits very well with a typing which complements my team decently. While each...

If I google "viable," the first dictionary definition I get is "capable of working successfully; feasible." If a team wins games on the ladder, then it is viable for use on the ladder, by definition. If you feel the ladder is of a low quality (what exactly do you have to compare to, by the...

If it wins a substantial number of battles, it's viable by definition. I'm guessing that team was viable due to countering the meta of the day.
