No, but it doesn't matter since they compete at different times.

Well it does to me, because I'll be getting there very early (say 8:15~9:00) to guarantee a stop. My dad is driving me the ~8~ hours to Dallas just for this, and will be ticked if I don't get in or am DQ'd.
 
Are we aloud to use Japanese pokemon?
Yes.

How do you practice on NetBattle and where the heck do i download it?

google netbattle supremacy, and as far as a team:

Most people put two exploders in front (though you can also use Sticky Barb Shedinja) in order to make it a true 4v4.
 
What if I use someones redistributable pokemon and someone else uses the same redistributable in the same battle as me?
 
What's the deal with this "Ducks" group? Is it just a team of players on Smogon who test together? Seattle VGC was the first I ever heard of it.

I remember a bunch of the Ducks cheering on Huy with the "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" chant at Worlds last year. That's the first I heard of them. Other than that, I don't really know.
 
The Lightning Rod Abilty

If my ally is a Marowak that has that ability and my other pokemon wanted to use Thunder or Thunderbolt againest my oppanents. Does the Electric attack goes to Marowak or the pokemon I want to Target.

The Electric attack will hit your ally.
 
Anyone have any thoughts on a team like this?
Zapdos @ Choice Specs
Discharge
Heat Wave
Air Cutter
Thunder

Electivire @ Life Orb
Magnet Rise
EQ
Protect
Low Kick

Groudon @ Choice Band
EQ
Rock Slide
Dragon Claw
Brick Break

Mewtwo @ Lum Berry
Grass Knot
Protect
Blizzard
Flamethrower

Zapados's discharge would raise Electivires speed and if a ground pokemon of suspected EQ user is on the field a simple magnet rise would solve electivires weakness. Also when groudon comes out, it can EQ while a magnet rised electivire can Low kick or EQ as well. Mewtwo is there for support fighting any other pokemon that the others can't hit. What do you guys think. This is just concept that seems good that I have not seen at all.

EDIT: ev's arent a big deal to me right now, just moves and strategy.
 
Ok cool thanks, just wondering. I thought it was pretty cool how he is the only electric type that can learn EQ and his speed is boosted when hit with electric moves.
 
umm and whos going to Protect you againest a Scarf Orge. You'll get beaten easy. The Rock Polish Groudon is the best stratergy if you are going to use a Groudon
 
imo brave anti tr groudon (maybe with iron ball to make sure, it'll be sunny if your team needs sun support) is better. You won't have the chance to set up rp without support, but if you are just using groudon as strong hitter and to bring sun, max hp/atk, maybe even some sdef evs, sould be the way to go.
