How much time and effort did it take you to think of this title? Seriously, couldn't you make it just a tiny bit... less simple? Who the hell are you, Saitama?

Which do you think are some really good and at the same time underprepared threats in the Oras OU metagame?

Diglett is broken, right?

How did you get to be so good at teambuilding and competitive battling?

When did you get to be so good at teambuilding? Did I miss something?

How did you get to be so good at teambuilding and competitive battling?

It may be a cliche answer, but I got really good at competitive battling and team building by practicing a lot and having exposure to top lvl players. Two years ago was when I really got into competitive battling, I would ladder a lot in main server and watch high level smogon battles on their forums. My first somewhat official tour was in powc ( pokemon online world cup). The captain of the team decided to give me a shot and play in the team and our team ended up winning the whole tour! (http://pokemon-online.eu/members/72742/ in awarded medals).

It actually took me a long time to come up with title, but I thought it would be best if it was short and to the point

I haven't been playing to much ORAS recently but I feel like Life orb Hydreigon is really good because it is hard to predict what exactly its moveset will be and dark spam is already amazing. Also, most people don't really prepare for it when they teambuild at all

I am no expert in LC, but from what i did play it did seem somewhat centralizing.

give me an honest rate of my pokemns skills

honestly, i think you have improved a lot recently. You still do choke a little and your team building is a bit weird for my taste so I would say 6.9/10 (it may not seem like a honest number but it really is)

Kamina sounds like Lucina. Are you Lucina?

no i am not -. Kamina is a character from an anime called TTGL

What's your favorite Mega?

Why isn't it Gallade?

My favorite mega is probably mega lopunny only because I like using it a lot in OU

It isn't gallade because that poke isn't that good in OU }:

how do you feel about my trash abilities fams B)

what's your favorite junk food brand

uhhh.. what do you like to eat

​ye

I think you are really funny. It is also nice to have known you for such a long time! Idk if you remember but I played my first and only LoL game with you

My favorite junk food brand is probably flaming hot cheetos although i haven't been eating them recently

I like burritos, i eat one almost every day

...alright, fair enough.

Also, since I've been asking this elsewhere, what's your class? Fire Emblem/Fate series/tradtional RPG/etc?

How good are my skills? Think back before when I still cared about comp.

I have had upset wins against you before yet you have won official OU tours. Am I that good or were you sandbagging most of the time?

Do you like smash 4 and do you comp?

1. define your teambuilding abilities in five sentences.

2. what made you choose 'Fruitdealer' as an alias? ngl, that's a pretty cool name.

3. what is your best ORAS team that you've made(and define teambuilding process please)? This can be any tier you played in.

4. If you could change anything about reborn, what would it be?

5. favorite song artist and the song from that artist?

The mage? I only really play pokemon and starcraft 2 :[ so idrk what the question is asking.

It has been a long time since we have battled each other (like over a year or 2 ago) so it is hard for me to give a super accurate rate. However, when I was playing against you in prcl, I was using a weird team that skitty (when she was not a good teambuilder) and I made around cress. Now I know it isn't a good excuse but I never did take reborn tours as seriously as I took official tours. You were definitely better than the average rebornian probably a 7/10.

Smash 4 is alright. I am not really that competitive and I don't think I have ever won one game in multiplayer ,_, given that I only have faced two people so far.

Do you recommend that we sign up to Pokémon Online?

Well, not necessarily. Back then, PO was a pretty popular simulator. If you want to take steps to improve right now I would recommend creating a smogon account and joining any of the tours you find interesting while also browsing all of the competitive forums.

5. favorite song artist and the song from that artist?

1. I can do it in two words. "Almost nonexistent". I rely on a lot of people to build teams for me now a days but once in a while a lord squad is birthed -

2. It actually isn't original just like Kamina. I took it from a starcraft 2 player that I used to watch a lot before I joined reborn. His name was also Fruitdealer and, just like you, I also took a liking to the name and took it as my own.

3. The best ORAS team I have ever made was probably the first team I made in 2015 (ik pretty far back). The scizor/manaphy/clefable/lando-t/latios/rotom-w team

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite

Ability: Technician

EVs: 108 HP / 252 Atk / 148 Spe

Adamant Nature

- Swords Dance

- Superpower

- Bullet Punch

- Bug Bite

Manaphy @ Leftovers

EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe

Bold Nature

- Calm Mind

- Rest

- Rain Dance

- Scald

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf

Ability: Intimidate

EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 200 Spe

Jolly Nature

- Earthquake

- Stone Edge

Latias (F) @ Life Orb

EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

Timid Nature

- Psyshock

- Thunderbolt

- Defog

Clefable @ Leftovers

Ability: Magic Guard

EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 SpD

Calm Nature

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers

Ability: Levitate

EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe

Bold Nature

IVs: 0 Atk

- Will-O-Wisp

- Hydro Pump

- Volt Switch

- Pain Split

This is the teambuilding process for it

I based the team around cm manaphy and 3attack sd scizor since i thought they synergized well offensively as well as defensively. I then added a u-turn core as well as latios for defog and clefable for rocks (dragon fairy core). The team doesn't really do well now but back than i got really high in ladder (top 10) and won many tours with it including a POCL tour! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-ou-93878

4. If there was one thing i could change about reborn is that they are a bit too strict with there rules. I feel like it limits a lot of freedom of expression but at least they allow it in back channels. I also wish there were ladder tours in reborn like there used to be. They pretty much ended ladder tours because of sniping incidents without even saying before hand that it was illegal. If we had it back, I would greatly enjoy being in reborn again.

5. This one is a tricky one because I like a lot of artist and songs and it changes depending on my mood or if i am with people or not. At this moment though, my favorite artist is drake while my favorite song is "blessings"

I meant like each Gen but whichever tier. Still, your answer was good. Gen 4 Jirachi was surprising tbh lol.

I like jirachi in 4th gen not only because of its flinching powers, but it also seemed very versatile. You could go special attack or run lures like hp ground Which made nothing 100% safe from it.

>jirachi

>kam

>surprising

Fk mons, it is almost 70% luck once you reach the really high levels. The more luck on your side the higher the chance it will end up bailing you out of a tough situation. Imo its why pokes like jirachi and moves like scald are so good.

Why do you keep disappointing me?

Idk, you are a bit vague. If I had to take a guess, it is because I never fall for your dez nuts jokes

What keeps you here? Reborn isn't exactly the most competitive place :x

Man, not going to lie, there were many times where I didn't feel at place here. The only real reason I still stick around is because of my AO friends. If they left I would shortly after as well. Other than that, you are right, there is really not much of an appeal that reborn brings to me. I don't play the reborn game and I don't think i will ever really fit in here.

Do you believe in the me that believes in the you???

No

Tips for a beginner teambuilder?

What music you usually listen to?

If you like music, what's your favourite band/Artist?

Do you play a musical instrument?

Do you like sports? if yes, what's your favourite sport?

Ahhh, you're selling yourself short. You do have a (big, imo) place here, be it the competitive mons god or the good-hearted, slightly misfit here. While you don't really fit... you do that in a fitting way. Stay with us Kam. And run less Suicune answers next time, pls :3
