POKEMON CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE GO
How long, Rockin'? I was thinking of going to play some consoley thing or other.

Kay, give me five minutes.
INSANITY.
Adamant and shiny.
I'll get my team, Kay.
I'd think it's mainly cause, even though it's a tank it has a lot of weaknesses and there are a lot of pokemon such as skarmory or bronzong that it can't touch at all.
I do love the pokemon though, especially in a sandstorm.
Articuno, right?
Also, this doesn't even seem worth continuing.
Throwing away Spiritomb kind of sucked for me, though there wasn't much I could do about it.
Great game though. A great end to a great Tournament.
RedMageDarion wins the Pokemon Tournament!
Excellent game. I will upload the replay momentarily.
vs Chen:
12-94846-13031
vs Maytag: (I clearly recorded this number wrong, and can't figure out what it's supposed to be)
83-490941-24758
I tried removing either one of those 9s and it didn't find a replay. If anyone can figure out what the number is supposed to be, let me know.
vs Kay:
12-94846-00581
vs RockinX:
43-13911-25229
FINALS vs RedMageDarion:
72-95417-37063
Edit: Can I post the battle number?
Now get on wifi to receive your prizes!
I'd rather not, since I made some pretty awful decisions. It's embarrassing.
Also, new thread.
Not a problem, i saved it. Maytag vs Ashton
There's also my match with dingus as well as one with Reinanigans and Ink on there now, getting quite a collection by now.
And congrats on the win Darion, i can feel less bad about losing to you now even though i wish we could've had a somewhat better battle.
Pretty sweet final battle, why put salac berry on a pokemon with u-turn though? I'd have gone with a yache so you could use it against the abundance of ice pokemon in darion's team.
That means I'm tied for second..........right?

So yeah, my team was pretty good, not great, but pretty good. Though Infernape certainly grew on me (turning the match with maytag around and nearly sweeping him if not for a stone edge miss) 2 of my battles were sweeps because of one pokemon: victreebel. Specifically, this set:
Victreebel@Life Orb
Adamant, 252 atk, 180 spe, 76 hp
Leaf Blade
Sucker Punch
Swords Dance
Sleep Powder
It's basically Lucario with a sleep move and less coverage. Heh. As I recall, it killed off 4 pokemon in my match vs. OSD and I think 4 in my match vs. quovadis, although I can't remember. Might have been 5. Additionally, it knocked out chen's gengar and (through explosion, heh) bronzong.
He's very simple, just switch in on something slower that's a threat to your team, (with sunny day up, that's just about everything) put it to sleep, swords dance, and either switch if the switch in is something you can't handle or kill it. This set works with with sunny or without it. swords danced leaf blade is actually really powerful. So yeah victreebel owns and was probably my MVP for the tournament. I am shocked and appalled this set is not featured in the analysis on smogon.
Note: The reason I used this as my grass sweeper over exeggutor is I really suck at long-term planning during pokemon matches, so I wanted to make sure that each of my sweepers could function without sunny day (though it would make them even better if it was up)
Note 2: I never did get around to breeding the empoleon that's on my team list for the tournament. Just in case any of you saw that as a threat and planned for it... vOv
Steam ID
I was hoping it wouldn't get stuck against something immune to Earthquake.
Well, normally it would actually use a Focus Sash, but since I wasn't leading with it in that battle, I figured it would either get hit by stealth rock or hail would be up (or both). It's not going to survive a decent ice attack anyway (especially not a Blizzard), so I tossed on an item that I figured had an off chance of being useful.
Fair enough, gliscor always seems to get stuck against something that's immune to earthquake though :P
Edit: wrong thread!
just to be clear
