    evidently skarmory can't learn defog as an egg move

    even though it can learn it by HM in DPP

    come the fuck on game freak
    Gotta save something for move tutors

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    For klefki I like thunder wave, swagger, foul play and substitute

    Yukira uses that set up and it can be reeeeeaaaal tricky to deal with of you don't have a fire or ground user

    please never use this set its uncompetitive as fuck
    does this mean it's not good or not fun

    It's awesome, but really boring, 'cos it basically just makes battles into a random chance of your pokemon actually doing anything this turn. Similar deal with Serene Grace Togekiss, but Prankster makes it even easier to set up with very little your opponent can do to stop it.
    right, I was referring to his wording

    also psychic gym is open I guess

    uncompetitive ie. removing skill and turning a match into coin flips

    its intensely aggravating to play against and cheap as fuck and I hate it

    Does it wipe their nickname? Does it tell you to rename them before you can upload them?

    Okay, I have got the gym entries in for Melding, Yukira, Speed Racer, King Riptor, Big Red Tie, Anialos and Arch.

    Which means I still need gym entries from Treagy Beasteh Anzekay Peewi Fightingfilipino Nirya Stilts Rorus Raz PaperLuigi44 Huntera and Crimson King

    Or quite possibly that I have misplaced they info that they sent me, I sort of ran into an organization kerfuffle. This post isn't meant to put a flame under anyone's butt, its mostly just to make sure I have compiled all the existing information that is out there so far.

    I am going to try to dig back up challenger information but I am pretty sure that I have misplaced that pretty thoroughly at this point, so if people want to resend me there challenger teams that would be great.

    @Inquisitor Steel Gym is almost ready, just having trouble deciding on a 6th pokemon. Right now I have Lucario, Metagross, Ferrothorn, M-Mawile, and Aegislash.

    No, I know it's probably going to be Skarmory, I'm just not super excited about it.

    Truth be told, as soon as Pokebank opens I'd put my Empoleon on this team and probably sub out Metagross because Empoleon is awesome.

    Empoleon also has the advantage of not being totally unable to take a fire attack, which is a nice draw. Metagross has kind of lost its luster this gen anyway.

    Well, ghost is a really good offensive type right now regardless. Neutral damage or better on everything but Normal or Dark, neither of which is overly common.

    wobbuffet also seems like it could handle it fairly well, except that you have to correctly predict whether they're brave birding or swords dancing and use counter or encore respectively

    it's situational because there are plenty of sweepers that are incapable of sweeping themselves and it doesn't have the HP or PP to win a war of attrition

    but yeah in the right circumstances it can be pretty mean
