Is a lightball good on a Pikachu, or should I evolve him to Raichu and look for a different item. I read it doubles his attack/special attack, dunno for sure though.
Good game, man. I think this is the first time Breloom actually swept me haha.
That was probably one of the best games I've ever played. There was that huge revolving door in the mid-game there, which Breloom used to set up. He was definitely my MVP there.
You wouldn't happen to have the ability to replay that battle, would you? I kind of want to watch it again.
Nope, sorry, used Diamond. I think the game took, like, 50 minutes? Can it even record that long a battle? It's a personal record I think. I have only myself to blame as I played a little too conservatively. Knew I should have brought in Gengar haha.

The one thing that helped me most I think was Natural Cure, since it insured no matter who came in, it was asleep.
Yeah, probably should have let Swampert sleep as he was useless the whole match. Didn't help that Breloom resists all three of his attacks. I thought you'd bring in Hippowdon for the sandstream, but I guess you outwitted me.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "outwitted," because that's not really the kind of thing I DO. It's more, I switched teams after a few reasonably public battles with the team in question.
Rapid spin always loses against stealth rock. They both take one turn, and stealth rock will always do damage before you can rapid spin unless they stealth rock agains your spinner. Spikes is a different story.
And so, Kay, myself and perhaps others, bitch and moan pointlessly hoping that this stupid game changing move could just get banned already.
Won't happen though.
Please help us 5th gen, you're our only hope.
I'm also hoping Stealth Rock gets banned or changed. But then, my favorite 'Mon is Arcanine. He's the Pikachu to my Ash, the Master Sword to my Link, the "OBJECTION!" to my Phoenix Wright, the Rocket Launcher to my Soldier, the lightsaber to my Jedi, the Blue Eyes White Dragon to my Kaiba, the Principes to my Cincinnatus, the Superman to my Justice League. Plus mine has the bestest nickname.

Stealth Rock:
Ha ha you use Bug/Flying

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
It would be kind of weird without stealth rock since I've never played competitively without it. What the hell would you lead with?

Well I guess you could still lead with something like froslass and throw down some spikes. Now there is at least some stratagy in picking a lead, especially if you go for an anti lead who focuses on combating common hazard layers. More than picking x sweeper and hoping you can set up.
I go with Scouts a lot. Basically anything with U-Turn and some speed.
Flygon
Staraptor
Ambipom
are the ones I have. Staraptor's the best. Intimidate, U-Turn, Close Combat and your choice of Scarf or Band.
I also used to like leading with my Rotom. Tossin out Burns or using Trick, used to have Confuse Ray, plus good stab attacks. It always did well against Tyranitar leads.
Well, it would nearly die but the T-Tar would be crippled, so I called that a win.

Oh shit
I forgot that I had a trained, adamant Rampardos.
I am totally going to use this son of a bitch against the Trick Room team that I will face in the 2v2 tourney next month.

"Oh what's that, you are using a bronzong? And follow me? Hilarious.
Whoops you lose."

Pretty sure I've lost, though there might be a bit more of time before it's over.
Which crit? I don't even remember at this point.
Now I just need to EV and Get move sets down.

A lot if you use a PP Max.
I have a guy with 24 THunderbolts lol.
15 PP with a max of 24.

And there wasn't even SR up most of that game.

No, not that kind of risque, you pervert.

What, really?
You'd lead with a sweeper.
I still lead with sweepers.
It depends on what you're doing but like Munkus said a Sweeper is usually you're best bet.
Stealth Rock is all kinds of busted and yeah it should be right next to double team.
Leave it legal in Ubers though it's too hilarious not to.

Your FC?
NNID-InvisibleInk
I'm a little depressed that I have both of your FCs and you can't be bothered to keep mine, but whatever.
Dude, do you even battle often?
Also, battle, anyone?
its been awhile since we've battled?
NNID-InvisibleInk
Ink: It's okay, it's been a while since I was in a competitive match.
EDIT: I only got 2 of them down before DC. Mind trying again?
Anyway, I'll battle you in a minute Rockin. I think i'll also delete your non SS code from my Pad.
Then again, I just got another disconnect and this one during an IV battle so maybe its not a good time to battle?
I'll risk it though if you want to

Also please keep that 'Mon on the DL if you don't mind.
You I should keep your TREECKOS a secret?
