    Whimsicott

    Hey, I love the little annoying cotton ball but I'm having trouble fitting it well on a team. What are good partners for him? Do you think that pairing him with a trapper reaps benefits or is it subpar? On other matters. I agree with Lee that using Subseeding is kind of terrible and ignores...

    Hi, I'm trying to make the jump to Gen V but I'm running into problems due my inexperience. I want to use Whimsicott but I don't know how to build a team around an annoyer, what can you recommend me? On a similar topic, what pokemon are good to team up with Porygon 2? Is it suited to stall...

    Control; How do they work?

    It's also has, by far, the biggest competitive community of any game of such caracteristics I can think of and is quite similar to Pokémon. If you think other game is more important for a discussion about game theory and competitive gaming, tell us. They are not the same thing. Fatty aggro is...

    Control; How do they work?

    Magic is the most important hidden information game where you choose from a pool of choices before starting to play. The terms you mention also appeared first in that game so it makes sense using them and not in a different way. Also, please explain the relationship between a toolbox and...

    Control; How do they work?

    I think that your terms are quite confusing and have the opposite meaning to those used in other communities. In MTG you have: Aggro: BEAT THEM IN DA FACE Control: Stop them from harming you, then when they can't do anything, kill Combo: 1+1 = Profit! In the end, Stall and Toolbox as you call...

    Pokemon Black and White (SPECULATIONS ALLOWED HERE)

    I hope they fix some flawed pokes with a lot of potential by giving them some new toys. For example, giving Exeggutor an ability that increases its SpD or giving some bad pokes exclusive items.

    Concerning a Rain Dance team I'm building I will be using Jirachi as a lead. Is it a good idea to leave Stealth Rock to Bronzong and free slot for him?

    How long does a RBY battle last? It would be really helpful to get a tournament running.

    I'm looking for advice with tournys

    I don't know, you will need to test it. I think that 40 minutes would be enough. After that you can give them X turns/minutes to finish before declaring a winner based on number of Pokémon or HP. It is not the fairest thing but it is the only objective one. Remember that Swiss takes the...

    I'm looking for advice with tournys

    First of all. Print two rulestes. One for you to keep, one for everyone to consult and read if they want to. Tie it so that it doesn't get lost. Try to prevent any explanations by writing signs with the steps necesary to play. For example, next to the table where you register the teams bring...

    My Theories about Banning

    As away already said you don't need prediction to win with Salamance. Also no matter how good you are with Slaking it can still be countered. It can't touch anything with Substitute or Protect and if they resist one hit they can wall you or hit you back. They can also switch into your...

    My Theories about Banning

    Your methapor is invalid. The reason being that if you ban, say Metwo and it gets replaced with Porygon-Z you didn't go back to square one. The metagame is slower and Porygon-Z doesn't have 400+ HP and almost 400 Speed. There is no replacement because the two strategies are not the same. Also...

    I want to create a ton of pokes so players don't need to bring their own games to a tournament. Can I create those pokémon and give them the attacks I want with an Action Replay?

    The Growth of Competitive Pokemon

    You realize that it doesn't give you any kind of advantage at all? It's not cheating. Do you think that if I pay you a DS you are cheating? It gives no advantage, you are not cheating. The tournament is about who is the best battler not about who has more time. And even then, if the rules allow...

    Spanish Qualifier- Madrid, June 19th, 2010 - WON BY KEFKA

    I didn't attend the tournament but a friend of mine told me it was badly organised. They pited you against your friends, for example. At least at first they didn't hack check, they just tested if the game was running. Someone managed to get a Mewtwo with Explosion and someone had another...

    The Growth of Competitive Pokemon

    It's not cheating, it doesn't give you any kind of edge. If you give me a golf club for free I'm not cheating. @King Empoleon It was meant to be sarcastic.
