Blast to the Past!​

​
General Smogon Rules

About a year ago, our metagame was thrown upside down with the new Platinum Tutors and Bullet Punch Scizor. Those were simpler times. And now, we will go visit them one more time. Who among us remembers how to build a team in DP? Can any of the new people adjust to the old metagame? Good luck to all!

Will PM my opponent and set up a time for the battle.
Too much people for predictions, but some cool match-ups here.

Good luck people.
 
Good thing it's weekend soon, so I can start making m'team. And screw Garchomp being in D: I see Garchomp's use high....
 
YEAH CHOMP YEAH!

Well, with that comes a big ouch for having to battle Twash, but oh well. Let's see how this is going to unfold.

PS: Due to crappy DP building skills, it'll probably take me a while to get the team done.
 
Boo, Hiss, Chomp will be on every team because everyone wants to use it!

Time to exploit that fact!

Making my team as we speak. Gonna use Serebii to find the differences between Platinum and D/P.

All I can say, is, Scizor will be in the NU of OU this tourny.
 
Is there a resource available for team building that shows only D/P moves? If there is, I'd really appreciate it if someone could post it here.

GL TheFourthChaser, it may be a while before I have a team ready since I wasn't around pre-Platinum but I'll send you a PM when I do.
 
How about Event moves like Wish, are they allowed? Also, are pre-evolutionary moves allowed?

On a side note, good luck to franky, may the best man win. I'll PM him when I finish making the team.

I'll PM you my team ASAP, either today or tomorrow. GL to everyone.
