I know for atlanta; I was in line around 10 a.m. and there were about 100 in front of me. By 1:00 there were 651 people total in line......
could anyone provide a good set/nature for a scarfed giratina?????
One of my biggest weaknesses at the moment are Scarfed Giratina, does anyone have any advice on dealing with them. They out speed my Weavile which is the fastest on my team so I have to use my Kyogre to try and soak shadow force and catch it with a night slash and Blizzard when it comes out. The only problem with this is I end up almost 100% of the time losing Kyogre in the process. The rest of my team is a Palkia and Abomasnow.
there is already a thread for practice battles in WiFi portion. but its better if you can get in iRC[its a chatroom ] or pokemon online is good too
A question for both UU battlers and NU battlers,
What speed should an explosion based (non choiced) Skuntank hit in NU? And what speed in UU? Jolly 252 isn't outspeeding much of note, and I'm hesitant to make him adamant with no speed investment. Skuntank has room for bulk, I don't want to waste EVs on speed I don't need.

Yeah, you might want to try http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70306 for that question? I think that's the most appropriate place to ask...that or look at http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/skuntank and while I claim no expertise in NU/UU, the analysis seems to say "260 beats neutral natured base 80 Speed Pokémon. You can use Jolly and aim for 290 to out run the base 95 Speed group, assuming they don't have a boosting nature. Max Attack with the remaining in HP."
This thread is for VGC questions and answers ^_^

Canadians are allowed to play in this tournament, as well as Mexicans and citizens of any other country for that matter. The tournaments held in the United States require only that the player own a NA version of HG/SS, and nothing more. The 10th anniversary tournaments were US only, but these World Championships have always included other countries.
Oh ok thanks
From the TPCi tournament rules:
TPCi Tournament Rules said:
I got this reply from Mike Liesek in response to my concern about suspected cheaters during a match and about when more than 768 show up before 1pm:
Quote:
1. Per the tournament regulations, "A player should notify the staff immediately if he or she believes that there is a problem with an opponent's Pokémon. At the end of the round, all match results become final. Issues that go unreported until after the round has completed will not change the result of that match, regardless of whether there is a problem with an opponent's Pokémon."
2. As a first-come, first-served event, only the first 768 people in line will be permitted to register for the tournament.
you know i've always thaught that when they said "at the end of the round" that they mean when the match is over but before the staff circles a win/loss on your cards. because if you call a hack check during the battle and your opponent passes the check. then you are stuck in a rematch situation where you know his strat and its very unfair especially if he was winning. let me know if my assumption is wrong and that you literally have to stop a battle for the hack check to affect results, and if soo what is the procedure if he passes the check.

Sorry of this has l ready been asked, but does the VGC leval down your pokemon? For exemple, could i enter my leval 55 ttair, and his leval would be decressed ( battle frontier style)? Thanks
