Hey you want to play some Showdown and Skype later on tonight? Halcyon's coming.

Well morningsun won the coin toss, so you wont be moving on :( On the bright side, this losers bracket is gonna be so god damn intense lol. Prepare yourself!

I am on now. If you can battle, let's do it.

Scratch that. I am really really sorry, but I can't do it until 8…

I'll be on in 1/2 hr.

"But I was just saying Sand and Hail are super easy to construct"

I say make that a challenge, and make it harder to construct!

That is where you are wrong. There's a reason Sand is beating rain in terms of usage. Sure, abusing a weather is really nice, but it allows for more creative team building and unique strategies that other weathers don't really bring. Sun is EXTREMELY predictable, rain isn't that far behind. Everyone knows that a Venusaur on a sun team translates to a Growth sweeper, and Keldeo on a rain team translates to a Choice Scarfer or Specs most likely. Sand and Hail have little going for it abusing wise, but strategy wise, they have quite a number of creative options. Hail is just hard in general, but it gives you a challenge. You wouldn't want to win this tournament easily now would you? I hope not. That's why I'm using hail as my weather of choice for the winners bracket over sun. I will feel a great sense of accomplishment if I win, and I've had much more freedom, seeing as I don't really having to worry about weakened Water-type attacks or making sure that I win the weather war so Venusaur isn't entirely useless. Hail for my team is more strategic then abusive. Sure, I can spam Blizzard in hail, but that's about as far as it goes abusing-wise. Hail acts as more of a residual damage that works really well in conjunction with Toxic and Stealth Rock, and it's really nice for the almost KOs that you would normally miss out on if hail wasn't on the field.

So yeah, use your underdog weathers to your advantage, and worry less about abusing it and more about being creative with it :)

Well I guess that makes sense, because you're using Sand Stream. Tell me you're using T-Tar or Hippo and not Abomasnow on your Hail team.....

How can you test a team if it involves you using a hacked Pokemon?

Uh, so are you and morningsun planning on battling soon? You only have until 11:59 PM this Friday, or else I'll have to decide the winner by coin flip. Hope you have at least made your team :( I'd hate for you to lose to a coin flip...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Well I think Garchomp is great! Have you tried the Yache Berry set? It's my favorite and it's super easy to sweep with, since most teams only have one Ice type to deal with him at +2.

When are you free tonight?

Let me teach you the ways of UU my son...

I missed your birthday :(

Awesome! I just got out of school, so I'll have a lot more free time. Are there any Pokemon you can think of off the top of your head that you've always wanted to try but haven't? You mentioned Garchomp before...

Hey! So I saw that you said you had begun to lose interest in Pokemon again. Whenever that happens to me, it's usually because of a rut I get into with my team building where I can't seem to make a successful team. I was thinking maybe you'd like to collaborate on a team with me, and maybe that could help revitalize your interest. Just thought that might help you out some, if you'd like.

morningsun vs. Tabuu

You have until May 17 to complete this battle. Good luck!

NO. Metang is another pokemon that completely outclasses garchomp in every role (but then again, metang is the best pokemon in OU and ubers due to its ability to beat every single pokemon).





JK

Garchomp's 4x ice weakness, useless ability and horrible movepool make it bad like unown (at least unown has decent attacking stats and an immunity to ground)

That sounds nice.

No problem. : )

Did you get anything nice for your birthday?
