    I just remembered what I was going to ask. Was there an entrance fee for the Gamestop tournament?

    There wasn't.

    Question: does Destiny Bond kill your pokemon if you take out the opponent?

    Say, I use Destiny Bond to lock my opponent into Insta-Death, then wind up pounding the crap out of it... would it still off the using pokemon?

    Destiny bond wears off when you make the next move, so no.

    Destiny Bond is only in effect until the next move of the person who used Destiny Bond, not until someone switches out.

    Say: Mismagius uses Destiny Bond (Predicting Waterfall)
    Gyrados uses Dragon Dance (Predicting Destiny Bond)
    Mismagius uses Shadow Ball (Destiny Bond is no longer in effect now)
    Gyrados uses Waterfall (Mismagius is pwned)

    Destiny Bond also wont activate if you die via sandstorm, leech seed, burn, toxic, etc.

    Keep in mind that in that situation, if Gyarados got faster than Mismagius, Destiny Bond would kill it.

    Mismagius uses Destiny Bond (Predicting Waterfall)
    Gyarados uses Dragon Dance (Predicting Destiny Bond)
    Next Turn
    Gyarados uses Waterfall (Mismagius is pwned)
    Gyarados is taken down by Destiny Bond!

    Something like that happened to me against Tacofiend. I Destiny Bonded with my Gengar and then he used Agility with his Metagross. The next turn he struck first with Meteor Mash and took out Gengar and Destiny Bond kicked in. Neither of us were expecting it to work at the time. I didn't have a full understanding of how it worked though.

    Thats true, I wasnt even thinking of that in the example. To be fair though, one DD from BulkyGyrados doesnt outspeed Timid Mismagius's so I guess I just did that subconciously

    Toast if you'd like you can trade your guy to me so that it can be leveled quicker.

    I mean, unless it's a sloooow leveler, it should only take 2-3 E4 runs to get it to 50, and that's without an experience boost.

    So I need some new ideas for a naming theme for my team. I originally had a pretty freakin awesome one, but after I ended up dropping Honchcrow (Darkwing), Jolteon (Megavolt), and Leafeon (Bushroot)...well, it doesn't come together nearly as well. I could name my new dudes with those nicks, but man, nothing really fits quite like a Honchcrow :P

    So yeah, just throw out random shit and maybe I can make it fit with my new dudes!

    But at least I have a more reliable move than Yawn. With Stealth Rock and Yawn, I'd have to survive 3 hits before the foe would either switch or get beat up. With Roar, it's just two attacks.

    I know that timer balls or whatever they're called have a better chance of capture the more turns go by in a battle, but is there a limit? If I'm up against a legendary or something and use my Shuckle and stall for like a hundred turns, will the chance of capture be insanely high?

    I dunno, maybe. That's a lot of turns. Actually, I think that it sort of plateaus at a certain point, so stalling doesn't do you too much good. I find you do pretty well by alternating an expensive ball (Ultra, Dusk, Timer) with an inexpensive ball (regular Pokeball, Mega). Seems to be pretty effective, for whatever reason.
