  1. Mine has to be the crazy versatile land shark, Garchomp himself. In battle, this thing is insanely versatile with nice stats across the board. You can run SD+Sash, you can have TankChomp, you can have ScarfChomp, MegaChomp, and the list goes on. But I just don't really like it much where nearly everyone else seems to. I didn't play DPP, so maybe that has something to do with it, but it just seems kinda...eh... to me. Also why doesn't it get Dragon Dance? What the hell is up with that? Like, you expect me to believe that Barbroach gets Dragon Dance, but this creature which is obviously a dragon does not? Yeah right. And the design just seems kinda lack luster to be a pseudo to me. Hydreigon was orgionally going to be a tank, T-Tar is godzilla, Metagross is a supercomputer. And what's Garchomp? A fast shark? So... basically Sharpedo, but a Dragon and a pesudo? Okay then... I just don't like it that much, although I do use it from time to time on teams when I feel I don't have any other mon to put its role and when that happens I always call it Loan Shark, but even my clever nicknames won't make me like this mon.
  2. Different cage. The cage you're looking for is back through the jungle around the area where Fern finds you.
  3. Right well here's mine. I'll take whatever critiques I can get. Jolteon - Discharge - Hidden Power [ice] - Volt Switch - Shadow Ball Feraligatr - Dragon Dance - Waterfall - Ice Punch - Crunch Roserade - Hidden Power [Rock] - Giga Drain - Sludge Bomb - Extrasensory Hawlucha - Substitute - Swords Dance - Brick Break - Acrobatics Donphan - Earthquake - Rapid Spin - Stealth Rock - Knock Off Porygon2 - Tri Attack - Ice Beam - Thunder Wave - Recover
  4. Well, I mean, even if it was, they see your team in advance anyway so it doesn't make a huge difference.
  5. On the topic of using lower tiered mons, I just looked at the team I've been using since the leauge was announced just to have a cool team ready and I have exactly 0 OU mons on there. The closest I get is BL and that's only one mon. The rest are all from down below. I look forward to what similar teams people cook up.
  6. Mega Lati@s is pretty fun to use tbh. It's a shame they don't see much use.

      Most megas are fun to use. For example M Sceptile paired with electrify Heliolisk in doubles. And mega lopunny too. They stray from the original mon, but they are fun to use IMO.

  7. I like it so far. A bit of a side note, while it is a little too late now, that Treeko should always stay a Treeko until level 21 when you are using ORAS movesets because then he gets Giga Drain via level up. Anyway, good luck with this and enjoy!
  8. Offcially over the 1500 mark on the Random Battles ladder. Yes sirree, sometimes it's not about the cards you're dealt, it's all about how you play them.

      and then random monotypes is about getting dragons and killing all in your path with Mega-Rayquaza...

  10. I only noticed because she happened to comment on a topic I made.
  11. Does Imposter not work on a Pokemon under an Illusion?

      That's why the only EV spread for Ditto is 252HP, 252+ SpD.

      It doesn't, and it is actually a (very unused) way to check if the opponent team is using illusion or not.

      Huh. I only learned about this since I happened to have a Zoroark with Illusion intact in when some guy attempted to send in his Ditto on me in a random battle today.

  12. It's Wednesday and Red hasn't updated her avy yet. I am scared as to what the world is coming to.
  13. Now, you've probably heard tons of people say this before, but allow me to reiterate this fact: Communication is vital to any relationship. And here's the part where I prove it. The other day, I was having lunch with a friend and I had just formatted a reply to the Ymora IC thread. For those of you who are unaware, Ymora is an awesome Pokémon roleplay run by Chim and Dobby. Anyway, I had just written up a reply to it after my previous reply had been utter trash. I felt terrible that it had been so terrible, so I decided to make it clear in my post that my character felt terribly guilty, and doing so allowed me to absolve myself of the guilt and thrust it upon my character, Arthur (who should have had it anyway). I had felt pretty awesome about my absolution at the hands of my writing, in fact, one might even say I was near giddy, simply because guilt is a terrible thing to have and to do away with it is to grow wings. And so, I, unable to contain my joy, mentioned to my friend that I had screwed something up and that I had just fixed it. I didn't mention the topic because then we would end up in a fake argument where we would simply be making fun of how dorky the other was. Eventually, lunch came to a close and we ended up going our separate ways. Fast forward a bit and it's later into the afternoon. My friend happened to mention the encounter at lunch to my girlfriend, who was had been at a funeral that day and thus wasn't a lunch. She immediately begins to fret because my friend had passed on that I had said that I "screwed up" somehow and she began to worry unnecessarily because that's how relationships work. You worry when you definitely shouldn't, because just what if it did happen? What would happen then? Anyway, she began to worry and couldn't think about anything except that particular phrase and its potential implications. When she finally tracks me down, it's about six in the evening. She asks if anything's wrong and so I obviously reply "No, why do you ask?" since I had actually felt pretty good since I sorta rectified my mistakes in Ymora. She explained what she had been feeling and what she had heard and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I quickly filled her in that it was literally just about Pokémon and that she had absolutely nothing to worry about. We both laughed about my vague wording and her ridiculous, needless, and yet sweet, concern. Moral of the Story/TL;DR: If you have something to tell someone, for the love of all things good and holy, just tell them because if you don't, you allow invisible barriers to go up between you. It's much better if you are simply honest.
  14. Basically, Shards and Heart Scales make up the currency outside of the basic Reborn Pokédollar since that stuff is pretty easy to come by through grinding. Shards are far more commong and are used for more things while Heart Scales are used to change Pokemon natures and relearn forgotten moves. Some pokemon are only obtainable through Shards. as are some items. You will also need to have some shards to play a minigame in the Circus to get the HM for Dive.
  15. I could make progress on the speech I need to write... Or I could play some random battles and try to get a Sunflora sweep going...

  16. The question about the relative of the good Doctor's is actually his sister, Elizabeth Connel, who commited suicide which drove him to become a doctor to potentially prevent the same from happening to others since his sister was denied shock treatment, which he believes could have driven the desire to take her own life out of her.
  17. The OU No Mega ladder is so crazy and yet so dead at the same time.

  18. Turtwig is a god in Reborn. He can handle many of the leaders solo through Curse+EQ+Wood Hammer/Razor Leaf. The first two gyms can't even touch him and the Fighting specialists tend to only have one answer to it, which you can still beat through Cursing up on the other pokemon. For example, Samson has a Speed Boost Blaziken which Torterra can eat a hit from and then OHKO with an Earthquake. If you want power, just go Torterra.
  19. That was an interesting development in Gravity Falls.

      Hall of Champions and Onyx Trainer's school were merged since both pertained to competitive pokemon battling and were relatively inactive.

  21. James, Arthur, and ??? Are you believing this? Arthur looked up from Monica to face the other new student. "Hey, this is an insane world we live in and it's been such a day that I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Giratina himself were about to phase through that door. It certainly could be true and I wouldn't rule it out just yet." Arthur's words and face refused to betray the feelings of fear and anxiety that were weling up within him, but he could tell that they were there all the same.
