    Okay guys, here's the deal. My mom's abducting me for a day or so and I need to knock out my round one battle ASAP. RMD, if you could get on real quick, we can get this battle done and I can still stay in the tourney. I'm waiting online. I don't have much time.

    Hi :] I got kind of burned out on pokemon after playing it non stop for weeks. Having somewhat acceptable Wifi has got me catching the fever again. I'm way behind when it comes to battling people now, with the metagame and all. Is there a tournament coming up soon?

    You're not alone on the behind thing. Stupid college. There should be a tournament going on starting today, I don't know, Mushroom Pie organizes these.

    Is anyone up for helping me trade evolve one of my dudes? Then perhaps have a battle afterward, where I may, or may not use the dude I just evolved.

    Or really, just help me evolve this guy.

    Watch out for Rock types if you use Charizard.

    Also, just for reference, Magmortar is pretty freakin' awesome.

    Ok, I think I've minimized my weaknesses and maximized my GIANTNESS with this version:

    Dusknoir
    Mamoswine
    Snorlax
    Magmortar
    Wailord
    Magnezone

    Sound solid?

    An idea struck while I was working today.

    Hippowdon@Leftovers

    Substitute
    Slack Off
    Earthquake
    Ice Fang

    Probopass@Focus Sash and Magnet Pull

    Protect
    Thunder Wave
    Earthquake
    Explosion


    They'd replace Donphan and Miltank. The hippo automatically sets up Sandstorm (which lasts the whole battle unless a new weather comes in, right?) Subs, attacks while the Sub is up, and heals itself. Probo gets the +50% SpDefense, helps out Togekiss with Paralyzing stuff, and can survive his 4x weaknesses and proceed to blow up to take them down with him. Since Skarmory is the only Steel type immune to Ground, I opted for an unSTAB'd Earthquake instead of something like Stone Edge with Magnet Pull in effect.

    You've got 3 guys who are 2x weak to fighting, but you've got to make concessions somewhere, so I'd say that's looking pretty good.

    Doesn't gravity make flying types affected by ground? Or am I reading that move wrong :\
