Exactly. The whole idea is that they don't see it coming. They probably can't see past their own shiny palkia to even know what you are using.
Uh, Blue, even I could see that one coming from a mile away. You might see a Trapinch or three, but someone pulling out Rattata or Pidgey? Either that person has as much competitive experience as I do or they're hoping to play someone with as much experience as I have.
Otherwise it'll raise one hell of an "Uh-oh, sneaky shit comin'" flag in anyone else's mind. You might get a couple of wins over newbies with it, but that's it.
I notice you did not spell any of your words wrong in your post. You underestimate your own ability!
People are dumb and it is funny to beat them up with a crappy pokemon. I do not understand how y'all are suddenly like "ha, why use that pokemon, there are much stronger ones!" That's my line~
Breeding and training is getting more and more tedious for me, but honestly the the thrill of battles is somewhat worth it. I'm only going to train about three more and then that's it for quite some time. Is there any info about whether or not breeding and EV training in Pt would go any faster/more efficient?

Well, I still haven't had an opportunity to fight aggril.

Where be Chen? I probably missed him again. Guess I'll catch him tomorrow night.
Sorry, I haven't spent much time on the internet these past days. I'll probably be on in the evening, but I suppose you'd have to be available as well. I definitely can't make it for tonight.
Also, dang, RMD, how did you manage to win 4 games in a row? You cad.

Be quiet you.
You and your so-called "team"
I blame the fact that I lost to you on not having had a chance to warm up yet... yeah, that's the ticket.
I hope Toasty beats you. :P
EDIT: and Nerd, before you ask, I'm at work (on Saturday? UGH) so I can't battle.
Munkus and I will somehow manage to meet up! At some point!
Mostly my fault, due to a mild cold and trying to figure out how to move a couple dozen boxes of random crap. But I'll be around, dang it!
Meantime I think I'll make a second Armor Wolf, with a different moveset. He's been doing so well in his matches, I believe adding an egg move or two could make even more of an improvement. I don't think I'll be allowed to use the second one in this tournament, but I'll keep him for other matches.
MushyRacer is using the only Floatzel in the tournament?!
I'm very disappointed I missed sign ups for this, but not as disappointed as I am in Kay for not bringing Shivneas.
Well yes you see right.
I was experimenting with Sandstorm, as you can see from my selection. Shivneas kinda NEEDS Rain Dance to function, so...
Also, my team selection is kinda crappy. I have... holes in there. Big holes. Some people exploit them and DESTROY ME (Zerokku), others don't, and we have pretty close matches (Reynolds, Jugs and Rockin.)
I've decided to start culling through my ten-mile-long list of possible breeding material. Is Nature more important than IVs, or does it work the other way around?
Nature is the most important, although some are interchangable like Relaxed/Sassy or Mild/Rash or Naive/Hasty. Then of importance are, depending on the role, speed and atk/spatk or HP and def/spdef.
And I now have a 360. Already sent you a friend request blueblue, if anyone wants to play me online sometime give me your gamertag. Mind if I add you RMD?
Yeah, in order of importance I'd say nature and EV training are about even, with IVs being still useful but not as critical as the first two. As Chen said, in many cases there is more than one nature that can be useful for a given Pokemon.
Best is getting a couple good Dittos, a couple given male Pokemon with good speed IVs, and a lot of spare time. Then you too can waste much of your time biking up and down Solaceon town.. I mean, er, be a Pokemon breeder!
I'll be checking in a couple of times tonight, in case Munkus shows up. If our match is still on, that is.
I've been wondering for some time if Munkus has a Bidoof/Bibarel avatar.
Hey, maybe I'll breed a competitive (haw!) Bibarel and name it Munkus!

Alright, now that I have my dozen or so projects for Platinum in Egg form, I figure it's about time I start growing those damn EV berries so I can fix a few of my older guys. I have no clue what kind of spread I gave my old Togekiss, so it's about time she gets fixed seeing as she has just reached level 99.
Emerald's seventh badge, after all that build up, turned out to be a total joke. My Gardevoir traced Claydol's levitate, imprisoned Psychic and Calm Mind, then Calm Minded up til it could one shot all four of the psychic duo's Pokemon. For whatever reason Claydol kept trying to Earthquake even though Gardevoir was levitating and the other Pokemon I had out for the rest of the fight was Swellow. In the end, I never needed to bring out Mightyena. What a waste of hauling that dog around.
Swalot and Lairon back on the team, and on I go!
Oh yeah, and some random breeding project or another. As always.
Its late here now ill just catch up with you tomorrow.

RM and Zerokku added. Just keep in mind that it's nowhere close to my PA name. Beeb's gonna be my Platinum character's name as well, seeing as it's been my nickname since I was three.
...dang, this is taking forever! I might finish copying down Smogon's tactical Pokedex before I fight again... I might have some requests for trades pretty soon. Might make a Dunsparce, actually. May as well.

When it is updated with platinum changes, you can enjoy copying it down again~

I think I shall try catching a better Shiny Machop for use in Platinum. The only thing wrong with my current one is its Impish nature, so I could easily bring a Synchronize Pokemon along to help out.
Jugs, I'm sorta here now. Will be checking the thread fairly frequently so just post when you want to fight. Let's get this done today (and the rest of you slackers get on it too!)
I'm still peeking in looking for signs of Munkus. At some point there should be some sign of him!
Mind, if this tournament goes to next weekend, I will have to drop out. Family reunion thing that entire weekend, and not only will it be at a location without wifi, there will be no internet at all. HORROR.

Man, screw the PokeRadar. I had a chain of 30 Machops randomly vanish; I didn't turn off the DS, I didn't encounter a different Pokemon, nor did I wander too far way from the rustling grass. It just up and left, wasting an hour or so of my time.
Think I might just say screw it entirely and use my old Shiny Machamp instead. The way I have her planned out, she doesn't need an Adamant or Jolly nature anyway, plus I was able to get away with that easy-as-hell IV check with Ink the other day, I don't think the game will be nice to me for a while anyway.

Though considering round four was supposed to be over friday, we are not so far behind.
I'm very nervous for Round 6.
But in the end, I know that my love and trust for my Pokemon will show me the path to victory!
(and make me into a Pokemon Master)
Well, fighting dingus would also be tough, unless you already fought earlier or something.
Also, dang, RMD, how did you manage to win 4 games in a row? You cad.

I still believe that if I'd kept my cool and used <Move I Didn't Use> on <My Pokémon> in the last round of that fight with Jugs instead of what I'd done, I had a chance of winning. Then again, I hadn't seen his last Pokémon at all, but I had the possiblity of finishing off what he had out and being on near-max health. But I didn't and I got kilt, so hey!
I can has cheezburger, yes?
Jugs, I'll be around all day if you show up to battle.

Man I can't believe that its been like 4 days since my last battle. All of you need to stop being Slowpokes and do your matches.
Or put on a Choice Scarf or something to speed things up.

Although, it is a female Machamp...
