^ Seconded. And Poetic just won a lot of cool points.

Do you know exactly how, Batl? The common sense method hasn't worked. ><

This is a team Pika Amelia requested that I make and post. The whole point is to centralise the adorable little whateveritscalled, Cinccino! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Line-Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cinccino ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the only Pokemon the team needs. Cinccino has a hidden ability that improves the effectiveness of Cute Charm. The second you send it out, the opponent forfeits because it's so damn cute that they don't want to hurt it. In fact, the moves and EVs don't even matter. Using Cinccino = Autowin. It's just THAT cute. ...okay, fine, most people are soulless bastards and don't care how cute it is. So... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The (real) Line-Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Process ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, if you haven't forgotten, the whole point of this team is Cinccino. So... I think, what are the main problems your run-of-the-mill Cinccino has? It's hardest, most common counter is of course, Steel types. So I choose something to make sure that Steel types aren't a problem. There are some things Fire can't bite, but for everything else, there's MasterChandelure. Typical Scarf has one critical flaw- Stealth Rocks limiting its effectiveness. Similarly, I want some support for Cinccino to net more secure kills, so... Forretress for Rapid Spin and my own hazards. Now the other problem with Chandelure is that I don't want to rely on just it and a fire type attack to take out all the Steel types. That might be less than effective for the Heatran, so, for the "things Fire can't bite," Blaziken! ...Wait, you say, I'm using another fire type to cover the misgivings of a first one? Yeaaaah, but more for its Fighting type, and its ability to speed up and support Cinccino. You'll see. However, since I do have two Fire types, I want something to cover my new water weakness. Problem solved. Finally, I also have a double Ground weakness, and I think some other utility might be nice in addition to an immunity. Kabababoom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cinccino ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I said, the whole point of this team. Skill Link and the multi-hit moves are the bread and butter of any Cinccino worth its supercutesleeksilkytails. For a fourth move, I've opted for U-Turn. Maxing Cinccino's speed, it hits a great 361- enough to function as a solid scout or anti-lead to more frailer opponents. Whether it U-Turns out or attacks, the likely enemy lead's Focus Sash is worthless. U-Turning to Xatu or Fortress is usually a nice slap in the face to the enemy set up as well. As for the item, I choose King's Rock because Cinccino is neither bulky enough for Leftovers to matter much, but I don't want it to die slowly from its own Life Orb. King's Rock is a haxxy, but fun choice on a Pokemon that attacks 5 times per turn. It means that each of those 5 attacks gets a chance to flinch the opponent. This let's Cinccino have a decent shot at taking down some walls, especially considering that each of those attacks also has a chance to crit. It's nothing I rely on, but it is nice to have in lieu of anything else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forretress ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVs optimised for general bulk; two kinds of set up, Rapid Spin support, and finally Volt Switch. Volt Switch is fun to keep up the momentum of the team or just play back and forth between this and U-Turn. At the end of the day though, this is just your basic spinner for this team. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chandelure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another standard set, but it does what it needs to. Overheat wrecks the Steel types that might otherwise wall Cinccino. Additionally since Chandelure is part ghost, it's a great way to get the jump on Fighting Types that want to threaten Cinccino. U-Turn to this, break any Sash, murder. Tactical retreat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vaporeon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, we all know how I love me some Vaporeon. Vaporeon is mainly serving as my water wall to protect Chandelure and Blaziken, but Scald is neat to pass around some burn. Acid Armor makes this thing ridiculously hard to kill, along with Wish. Wish, too, with Vaporeon's giant HP is a great support move for whatever I happen to need it for at that time on my team. Baton Pass will again help the fluidity of the team, and also put those Acid Armor boosts along to Xatu to stall, or Blaziken to set up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blaziken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, an atypical set, neh? Its effectiveness in itself is limited firstly by the lack of Protect, and secondly, by the lack of a Fire move. However, Chandelure should have the Fire aspect covered. I'm running both Earthquake and Hi-Jump Kick as a double insurance on the steel factor (plus to deal with Electric types that otherwise I have no check to), as well as Rock Types which threaten two members of my team with no resists to support them. The real crux of this, however, is baton passing speed, and hopefully a Swords Dance to Cinccino. The lack of Protect means this may not happen more than once- but I opt for the sweep the first time around (albeit, late game, when I've already removed Cinccino's counters) by using Focus Sash (with no fear, thanks to Forretress spin support) to get a safe Swords Dance off. Sweep or Pass from there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xatu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And last but not least. Xatu provides great utility with Magic Bounce, and has deceptive staying power between its screens and Roost. Night Shade is augment to its lower attack power. The screens in particular really allow Xatu to support the rest of the team, however, usually in the form of giving Blaziken safer set up, and a safer pass to Cinccino. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A typical battle goes like this: Cinccino U-Turns to Forretress, Xatu or Chandelure depending on what counters the enemy lead. From there, I'll get Forretress up and hazards out as soon as possible, usually on a physical sweeper. After hazards are up, I'll stall for as long as I can with Forretress/Vaporeon/Xatu, but not hesitating to use Chandelure (or Blaziken if necessary) to take out anything I feel is getting in the way, or might stop Cinccino later. Once the enemy team is scouted and hopefully sufficiently torn up by the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock, if Xatu is still able, I'll send it up to get a final hurrah of screens up. In comes Blaziken to set up, and pass to Cinccino for a strong finishing sweep. Cinccino's the Alpha and Omega, baby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Importable ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mashew did it, not me.

Your card looks orange to me. D: But I reckon Ikaru beat me to it. ...could be oranger though. hm...

It doesn't. Moreover, I'm just waiting to get access to the tiers before the voted changes are applied.

Kiba! What Ikaru said, and haiiii welcome~ <3

Cut-off check post

Previously cut-off, but I'll add that set.

Luvdisc it is, then. So far- Edge- Elekid (Lv 14, Lonely) Ikaru- Taillow (Lv 14, Relaxed) Rime- Lombre (Lv 15 (female trololo) Mild) Xiphera- Grovyle (Lv 16, Jolly) Amethyst- Ralts (Lv 15, Sassy (o no u didnt)) Poetic- Gonna be a Magby but Rime crit'd it, so looking for another one. ._.;;

Hi there's a site shop item to change the colour of your card, and it's not limited to the drop down colours in the creation menu.

Not often, but they have them in case they need to.

Kay new plan I'm just going with whatever I find frist from y'alls' long lists. >>

Do it! Also, I think I remember someone telling me about you... That you couldn't use the name Lithium on our server? I should apologise for that; it's actually a name one of our leaders uses sometimes. I see you've made acommodations though, sooo~ Welcome~ <3

Oh hey Ame you should totes catch a Gardevoir and name it after me, yeah >> <<

^ These two and their avatars. Aaaaah, I was like why is he posting twice ANYWAY, hai, and welcome~ <3

So, as I said on the server a moment ago, I'm stealing Xiphera's idea of stealing Poetic's idea of doing an Emerald Run using the Pokemon spcified by other members only. However, I'll be doing it on Emerald 386 instead. If you're not familiar with it, it's a hack of Emerald changed to have every Pokemon from the first 3 gens available within it without trading or anything else. That means anything from before 4th gen is game. The levels and difficulty have also been substantially raised. And naturally, being that another 200 Pokemon have been introduced to the game, the locations are different. This poses a problem. I don't know where to get what (quite frankly, I don't want to know; enough of my ruining the surprise for myself~) so rather than limiting suggestions to 6 people which I may or may never find, you all suggest what you want to be, and I'll use whoever I find. Fair? Fair, good. So this topic is just supposed to be my list for my own reminder. >> Go! Acquired: Xiphera- Treecko Rime- Lotad Ame- Ralts Ikaru- Taillow Edge- Elekid Poetic- Magby
