This one's the same size as a clementine...

It's perfectly orange though! QQ And I pulled it from a basket of mixed fruit. >>

..if I took in a Clementine for breakfast to work, but then when I went to eat it, I started to unpeel it, only to find out that it was not in fact a Clementine, but an un-ripe Lemon that was orange due aforementioned unripeness... ...And so scotch-taped the peel back together...? Where's Cave Johnson when you need him...

Not too bad, the issues you already outlined aside, however, to take another leaf out of Heather's book, you might run Mandibuzz over Skarmory. Two reasons: 1- It's specially bulky as well, unlike Skarmory who's mainly a physical wall. Whereas you've already got two intimidates to shut down physical attackers, Special ones can still be a threat. 2- Snarl. Attacks; reduces Sp. Atk. What they don't tell you is that it affects all enemies. You can thereby shut down both forms of offensive between Intimidate and Snarl.

Interesting idea having three unique solo-weather fighters, but I'm not sure how effective at countering weather teams they'll be considering the synergetic cost to your team. But yes, this isn't unlike Florinia's old teams, because her singles were stall as well. Being that I helped her with them a lot, I should mention this: Ferrothorn and Cradily are sufficient for countering grass's weaknesses themselves, however after that, Fighting types become the real problem, because that's what both Ferrothorn and Cradily are weak to. It's for this reason that Florinia started using Amoongus- to sponge fighting moves and spore back. Although with Toxic Spikes, you'd be tripping over yourself... hm.

JUST KIDDING Server is back~

It's been happening more frequently lately, and almost always around league time. This is A- Annoying, B- Curious, but I have a potential explanation. Kinda. The older members will recall that this kinda happened last year too, around the same time. Now I cannot be sure that this is what's causing it, but based on the fact that Nyu's site is down too (and therefore we can't restart the server), I think this is what's going on: The server is hosted in California, and we've had some pretty cold weather lately... Well, haha, I don't know what's cold by Californian standards. However, as Nyu explained to me before something about the power or connection in Nyu's area kind of just, dies, when the weather gets colder. This used to kill off the server, usually around league time, winter of last year too. It's sporadic, and there's very little we can do about it, but it shouldn't be a permanent issue and is nothing to worry about. However, last year when this would happen, we had Mysidia to run to. Now, however, we can't do that. Among or other affiliates is Treehouse, so I'm thinking we can go there when Reborn is down? (TBT is liklely to be busy, and many of the people we've banned tend to go there instead, so I'm hesitant to send people back to them). I just confirmed with Treehouse's admin, Vappy, and it's all clear. For tonight League won't run, but if this happens similarly in the future, we'll just run league on Treehouse. ...However, I see there's a number of people on the forum, so... In twenty minutes, I'll host a hangman for the 10th Leader's name via status updates~

Fear the Band [indent=1][b]Fearow[/b] (M) @ [b]Choice Band[/b] [b]Trait:[/b] Keen Eye [b]EVs:[/b] 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd [b]Jolly[/b] Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Return - Drill Run - U-Turn - Pursuit[/indent] Alternate Moves: Drill Peck, Quick Attack Fearow's most reliable option, perhaps, is simply a Choiced set playing off of its high speed. Return is chosen for STAB, and Drill Run for surprising coverage, U-Turn, Pursuit, and Quick Attack are options for utility. Drill Peck is an optional flying STAB, but has some redundant coverage with U-Turn, so the stronger Return is recommended instead.

Changes applied: This topic has been updated accordingly. I'm looking to open voting for EVERYTHING ELSE, 1/29. Any objections or other nominations should be stated ASAP.

Results are as follows:

It might be viable elsewise, but I already easily get defense boosts from Turquoise, plus priority Encore shuts down so many things~

@Phazer: Herp, fixed. I am painfully aware of the Ferrothorn/Serperior problem. :x Scizor usually isn't a big problem... Actually Ikaru trolled me once with a Pursuit Scizor, but that was it. Cloyster, again, not so much. Crits excepted, Turquoise can live through +2 attacks and mess Cloyster's lowered Sp.Def up with Scald. Conkledurr, similarly, since Turquoise outspeeds, I can always get an Acid Armor up and surive Drain Punches even at +1. That is, Conkle comes out. It bulks as I switch to Turquoise, and Turqoiuse AA's before it can do anything else. Except Mach Punch, which, lol.

Tailwind Support Pidgeot (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Keen Eye EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Tailwind - Roost - U-Turn - Brave Bird Pidgeot's best stats are its speed and its HP, which make it an ideal candidate for a support set. Tailwind can be a great asset in many situations. U-Turn is great for scouting, while Roost lets it shrug off Rocks damage or other attacks. Brave Bird is a strong attack for whenever you need it, and like other damage, the recoil is covered by Roost. [color=#ff0000]Editing an owners post![/color] [color=#FF0000]Felony!
