    Maybe what Munkus means is why would you copy it exactly? Smogon takes legends (Heatran) into account. Smogon recommends things that aren't common or any sort of threat on this forum.
    and those guides aren't really meant to be copied exactly. You make slight alterations depending on what you want to do and what kind of strategy you need.

    Also you can just bookmark the page. No need to print or copy.

    Nah, I think Munkus meant why would you copy it at all? It's already there in text form. Just bookmark and refer back to it as needed.

    Needs more round 6. Someone should at least compile an updated list of everyone's current records while we wait for Speed. I'd do it but I'm at work.

    I hope Speed feels better soon. If he's got the same ickiness that has been going around my workplace, he may be back in a day or so. Or hopefully sooner.

    I'll be waiting for my round five matchup with Kay in the meantime. My current record is 2-2, for the update.

    Right now, I've got about two hours! Not all of it free for Pokemon battaru, but I'm sure I can fit a battle in there.

    I was wondering what you were thinking sending the Wizard out against Zee, though.

    It was a misjudgment, and I used a move I shouldn't have because I misjudged further. I figured that that mistake had cost me the game, too. But Jim was able to put just enough of a dent to change the tide.

    I do wonder what was that one item you had to switch out, and why it made you lead with zee.

    Well, Alice was in the lead initially, and both Alice and Ion had Leftovers on. While I was juggling to figure out who kept their lefties, Zee ended up in the lead slot. I realized the change when I was getting onto wifi, but decided to roll with it. Almost worked too!

    Huh? Does that mean that people entering round 5 with a certain amount of wins get a bye until the bracket? Won't we keep playing for placement?

    My records consist of matches announced by speed and also a score tally. These are up to date, to the best of my knowledge. I make no attempt at predicting the future!

    Can I just put an Everstone on a male to try to get it to pass down nature, or does that only work for females? I have about three potential parents in my first three boxes (that I can use here, anyways...), and it turns out I may have competition-worthy legit legends, too- Mew, Mewtwo, Darkrai and Cresselia all have decent natures. I might play around with them some if I ever get bored again.

    Anyways, I copied down the Dex for inspiration- I didn't want to have to turn on the computer every time I got a bright idea on what I wanted to raise. I'm not following the Smogon instructions by the book, but it's giving me some good ideas as to what might and might not work. I might make a Porygon2 or Porygon-Z, for starters. My previous P-Z has a good nature on it. Or a Dunsparce, just for the hell of it. Definately going to make four or five teams. Not looking forwards to the EV training, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Only female pokemon pass on natures with an everstone. The only exception are with Dittos. With a Ditto, the everstone must always go on the Ditto.

    I should also point out that even if legendaries somehow become allowed around here, Ubers such as Mewtwo/Darkrai will never be allowed, and nigh-impossible pokemon to get like Mew/Celebi also probably wont be allowed.

    Well, there are a few game shop tournaments around here, and (surprise surprise) they're full of legends. I'm working on a couple of teams- maybe two for there, three or four for here. I'd never pull out a legend here, unless I was going to IV check it.

    I have fallen very far behind and need your help to catch up!

    The following is my most updated list. Please help me update/correct it so I can post Round 5/6!

    Completed Round 4:

    1032 2644 5075 - Jugs - 4
    0860 0250 1654 - RedMageDarion-4
    4897 6582 8155 - Dingus Xavier-4

    1890 7641 5153 - Invisible Ink-3
    5283 7880 2148 - BlueBlue-3
    4596 5912 3966 - AshtonDragon-3

    3136 5916 9044 - RavynBlackheart-2
    3694 6498 9606 - SpeedRacer-2

    Completed Round 3:

    1633 1499 9731 - Chen-3
    0645 2240 5346 - SirToasty-3

    3265 7443 2076 - Zerokku-2

    3437 0107 2915 - Terrendos-1
    1333 0236 8007 - Nerdgasmic-1

    Completed Round 2:

    2320 2630 5407 - Munkus Beaver-2
    1418 3381 0393 - Aggril-2

    2277 9321 5433 - Kay-2
    0301 6425 9658 - RockinX-1


    4682 6277 2672 - JaysonFour-0
    1246 8725 4688 - Reynolds-1

    I'm actually pretty positive that this is at least a little wrong, even if it were still up to date.

    I have your F-Code in there, it checks out as correct. Double check you have mine right?

    Speed: I beat Reynolds, lost to Jugs then Zerokku, then beat RockinX, and I'm to fight Aggril in round 5. That's all I can really tell you. :D

    Likewise I have completed round 5, though the number of wins you have for me is correct.
    Munkus also finished his round 4 match, along with everyone else!

    I and RedMageDarion are in the same boat. I have 3 wins and he has 4, though we are both waiting for the sixth round.

    Man, I was so certain that I'd KO Mjolnir with that, then do the same to Ruin. But it was not to be!

    Good game, Gigaton. I should bring a team of OUs next time. :)

    I've decided that, much as I love Kazenomori, he really, really doesn't hit hard enough.

    But I have a better idea of what sort of beast Mjolnir is, now! Yeah, I made some silly plays there, but well. As usual, some pretty bad common weaknesses in the mix and all. I need more specialised stuff that can take a hit or two and don't have many weaknesses. I am blaming my tools as I am a bad workman! :o
