Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I am also currently going through old threads where I traded friend codes for the Safari to see if there are any players who no longer play. Nothing so far though!
I have been unable to re-establish the friend code I deleted. It is possible he deleted me from his console long ago. If you desire, I can keep your code permanently as a result.
Maybe we can battle sometime (when I have a team worth a damn in Sun), or we can trade anytime we need something evolved.
If not, then next time I need to input a new code, I'll knock yours off if you have no need or desire to keep mine. If I do, I'll inform you ahead of time.
Sounds good! I'm not very good, but I always enjoy a battle I can learn something from, and I normally play VGC 2017 rules, but am down to try something new too! Definitely let me know if you want to skirmish in the future or if you need a start assemblying a team and I'll see if I can help!
And I consider my skills to be pretty modest as well. To be honest, I mostly just copy sets that suit my purposes or ones that I like. I'm no battling genius!
Then again, the fact that I've been able to beat teams using the VGC 2017 rules on Showdown with options that I can only breed from Alpha Sapphire, perhaps I'm being a bit modest!
I get lucky. For teams with actually good strategies, I find that I struggle to even knock out one Pokémon.
I've found that Pheromosa is a pain in the ass. I'm still working on aspects of my team, with the latest addition being Trevenant, due to finding that I couldn't even touch this one team with a Gastrodon.
And it will probably be at least a few months before I actually can start to breed. I already have some team ideas though.
Yeah I feel like going up against Pheramosa can be a gamble, especially if you expect it to be a physical or special attacker and than it's the other, and yeah no worries, if you need a hand breeding, let me know!
Oh, I couldn't possibly ask you to help me breed for this competition when the sign up is today, and it starts a few weeks from now! I don't think there's enough time to test them in Showdown to satisfaction at this point. Plus, I never really did research regarding Alolan team members, since I couldn't breed them!
Edit: I can't use the Pokémon I've breed in Alpha Sapphire. They've banned use of Pokémon brought over from Poké Transporter for some reason.
And I don't have the means to breed and raise in the time I have (or at all): a Destiny Knot, an Everstone, a Lucky Egg (or 5), high level opponents, and of course, I don't know how to accurately raise EVs now that they got rid of super training. I haven't beaten the game yet, nor do I have the time, so I can't do anything about this.
If I enter into this competition, I'll just loose every match.
Unless you can breed every team member, there is now zero point in entering.
