Just thought I'd give it a try, gives me a reason to use Zeraora. Not going to go out of my way to find a battle, so looks like it's back to Championship Battle Rules.

There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of interest in this season, I've yet to find someone to battle.

Wow, nearly 30,000 entrants. Just goes to show how offering a shiny can get people interested. As for my rank, I just broke the top 12,000. May as well not have bothered.

Well that was a disaster. Day 1: Won 6, Lost 8, plus one immediate forfeit by my opponent. Day 2: Won 4, Lost 2 Day 3: Won 3, Lost 8, plus one immediate forfeit by my opponent. Just about broke even on score, ending around 1505. Not battling any further because even winning everything won't...

Kind of glad I haven't taken this competition too seriously. My team isn't the greatest, but I've had an inordinate amount of bad luck so far. My opponent getting crits several turns in a row, ohko moves working on the first turn, confusion damage... Been stuck around 1480-1500 all weekend.

And that got me here: pitiful compared to most of you, but still top 10% worldwide.

Risky strategy, I got encored and re-encored into Protect in at least 1 battle.

I went 19-11 and ranked somewhere in the low 1600s in the end with the following Eevee: Eevee @ Eviolite Bold Nature Ability: Adaptability EVs: 84 HP / 252 Def / 172 SpA - Hyper Voice - Snore - Protect - Yawn EVs were set to guaranteed survival against Fake-Out + Z-Move Focus Punch from an...

I went 6-4 In my first 10, running Eviolite Hyper Voice Eevee. 2 losses to my own stupidity, 1 hax (paralysis and a critical hit went against me) and one against an Evoboost where I would have needed hax in my favour to win. Roughly 50/50 split Pikachu to Eevee, all ready to battle (i.e. EV...

Would Fake-out on Pikachu be of any use here? At the very least it would break sashes.

I borrowed a Marshadow off a friend promptly went 0/3. Think I need to practice with it in the Battlespot before going back to ratings.

I've not had much chance to play so far, but gone 5-2. Been running with my Ultra No Holds Barred team, switching out Ultra Necrozma for Tapu Koko and Ash-Greninja for Protean Greninja. So far, the main lifters have been Charizard and Zygarde - I've come across a lot of Steel types. Despite...

486th in the world & 5th in the UK. I'm pretty pleased with that for my first competition.

This was my first competition and since I used this forum & Smogon in general for ideas to put my team together, I thought I would report in with a newbie's point of view. As it was my first competition, I set myself a target of breaking even on 1500 points. I've actually done rather better...
