[Pokémon] Les Monstres de Poche (or Pokemon)

InvisibleInk

Two misses to start, but then I FLINCHED TOGEKISS
HA!

Spikethrough

I don't really change my team, but considering i said i would ... that should have the same effect

InvisibleInk

BIG MCLARGHUGE is a pain in the ass again. But I got past him this time. (i'm assuming BangBeef is a reference to MST3K)

The Ground Gym has been Defended! Good thing to, I don't even have a Badge yet!

Good Game Ferratto.
Spike? You ready?

Ferratto

shucks... didnt expect to lose even without knowing who you had, you should probably put up a trainer card or at least have the respect to tell people who you are using. good game, though, i like ur team

InvisibleInk

Well I did post my team when I first came up with the gym... but that was a week ago. Sorry I didn't think of that.
You can always try again tomorrow.

Edit: For Future challengers today:

Lucario
Politoed
Hippowdon
Flygon
Swampert
Nidoqueen

RockinX

Good battle. I wish I had had another Poké left :P

Ferratto

that Politoed came out of nowhere lol.

im afraid to use hypnosis, i usually have intense bad luck with accuracy, as you saw with my Togekiss lol

Spikethrough

i'll battle you in a sec ink, gotta make a bathroom/kitchen run

Spikethrough

Ok, i'll be on wifi ink

InvisibleInk

ok, well i'm gonna be dropping Rock Slide real soon now.
I hate Stone Edges accuracy, but I can't deny that I need it's power.

Spikethrough

I think that crit lost the battle for me ...

InvisibleInk

Assuming I don't do anything stupid like Switch out when I shouldn't have.

Johnny Fabulous

Ink, can I get a gym battle?

InvisibleInk

Yup. That was a retarded move I made.

The Ground Badge is yours Spikethrough.
I technically don't have my own badge yet. Could you make one?

Spikethrough

Good game, that was the hardest match I've had in awhile

InvisibleInk

I can fight you now Johnny.

Spikethrough

Sorry i can't, i don't play so much for the badges anyway.
That's a great team you have there though.

I'll get a team and hop on wi-fi.

InvisibleInk

goddamn I'm amazed that Leaf Blade wasn't even critical. A Nearly full HP Hippowdon!

InvisibleInk

Sorry about slowing the battle down, but you understand. I'm not fucking around against a Milotic.
Ah, there we go. Strategy!

InvisibleInk

I have so little self confidence. I was certain that my team was a failed attempt.
But the Ground gym has defended Twice now, and I'm feeling a tad more confident.
Great Match Johnny. Try again tomorrow.

WHO'S NEXT!

Johnny Fabulous

Shit, I can't believe I kept waiting you to switch out Politoed. I should've just brought in Electivire earlier.

Johnny Fabulous

double post.

InvisibleInk

At that point in the battle I couldn't even remember Electivire. So those 2 Thunderbolts I needed to take down Milotic? hahaha wow that could've ended poorly for me. Missed opportunities are the worst.

Chen

I'd like a battle, gym or otherwise, after I finish the battle tower which will be in a few minutes.

Edit: All right. Done and getting online.

c02y

I challenge the ground gym!!

I gotta win at least one game today.

InvisibleInk

Ok. I'll head online Chen. and if it doesn't take the entire day, I'll battle you next C02y.

Chen

Haha, I hope not.

c02y

I actually gotta go, I'll battle you later.

InvisibleInk

I'm getting a lot of criticals today. A lot of useful crits.

Chen

Wow, 8 HP left. Lucky! Now hoping Hydro Pump doesn't miss...

InvisibleInk

SURVIVE HIPPO SURVIVE


He didn't survive. damn.
Another excellent fight. You get a ground badge Chen.
Could you make the Ground Badge?

Chen

Nah, I don't even have my own badge to show for because of the lack of photoshop. Then again, only Ferratto managed to beat me. Also, good show, I sweated a couple of times, especially when I realized Nidoqueen has, uh, something truly horrifying. Yes, that's it.

Ferratto

can i battle someone right now? i just need to test out these 3 new pokemon i trained and see how good they are, maybe one of them might make it onto my team. bring 6 pokemon though, it will still be a competetive battle i guess

InvisibleInk

I can drop most of my ground team and fight you again if you want.

Ferratto

sounds good, im on right now, just use watever

InvisibleInk

Minimize clearly works well. But just like DoubleTeam, it's frowned upon here.
Was Clefable immune to confusion, or was that just luck that didn't hurt itself?

Ferratto

good game, i got to try out 2 of the 3, that Dodrio scared me out of trying out my Victreebel lol

Ferratto

uuum, it has magic guard which makes it only able to get hit by attacks but i think i may still be able to hit myself due to confusion, so it was probably luck. it was only like 3 turns too so its not like it was unhuman, just lucky.

why is evasiveness frowned upon here? you guys have some weird pet peeves lol. first the Tyranitar+Garchomp paranoia you guys have, and now this? its not a scarey thing, you just need moves that always hit like magic leaf, aerial ace, etc. thats the reason i have aura sphere on my Togekiss, you just gotta keep a balanced team that can handle little yet annoying things like that. like having rapid spin just incase a spiker or stealth rock comes along.

if someone tried that on me i'd just switch out to Togekiss, aura sphere, gg.

edit: and like i said before about T-tar and Garchomp, infernape hp ice is your friend, he can wipe out those 2 and Weavile all in a row like nothing.

Aggril

Aerial Ace and Aura Sphere are nice against DT'ers and Minimize, but evasion clause isn't an unusual rule. Admittedly the T-Tar/Chomp combo being outlawed is pretty unusual, but that is strictly for the legendary tourney. I don't think anybody cares about facing it in friendly battles (heck, that's 2/3rds of my battle tower team right there :-P ).

Cursed other games. I've been distracted away from my team. Deimos is ready, but his teammates King, Halley, and Snow all need to gain a couple of levels.. and I'm still short two members. But the team *will* be complete someday!
