The Giant League II: It's Super Effective! (Competitive Pokemon ITP)

[Sylthia]

Thanks.

Two things of note:
1: I love that Kabutops. Never works as well the second time around, though.
2: Is that a non-Kalos Gardevoir? I thought it only got Hyper Voice by tutor. How many IVs are you sacrificing for that?
3: Team shuffle imminent, after that loss, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to do the training in time for the weekend. That's the rule, right? One switch per loss?

Yes, to number two. It was bred by another Playgrounder here, who I can't remember at the moment. He had been taking requests for Gen V breedings a while back, I think I may have traded an Event Poke for it. Thankfully it's got 4IVs which was a lot more work before Gen VI.

I wish that Hyper Voice was an Egg move for Gardevoir, it's a staple for the Mega. Its ability is pretty much useless otherwise.

I have vague memories of that Kabutops. If I'm correct in remembering what it did, then yes, that was interesting to fight against. I can see how it'd be limited in how well it performs later though. And yes, one switch per loss, and you can redo your entire team if you lose three battles consecutively.

Oh god yes. I really hope ORAS gives us good move tutors, I'd love to have Hyper Voice on my Sylveon. And I'm sure I'd end up breeding another Volcarona if I could get Giga Drain on it.. though I may end up breeding for a shiny one eventually anyway. It's pretty.

Hyper Voice is the only decent Special Normal type move I can think of off-hand. At least Physical types have easy access to Return. Or Frustration, but I've never seen anyone actually use that.

I'm planning on running Frustration over Return where possible, just to annoy opposing scarf dittos. Pinsir in particular.

I suppose that is one use. It just seems hard to not raise affection, just through the course of training them.

[Quietus]

More accurately, I'm planning on finding a way to reduce affection at level 100. Trading is a good start, knocks it down to 70 immediately.

I guess you could force feed it a lot of those bitter herb things.

[Quietus]

Kind of the plan, yeah.

[Qwertystop]

Do they sell those in XY?

[Quietus]

Do they sell those in XY?

Yeah, there's a place in Lumiose city I think.

[JustPlayItLoud]

Female if you please. I should be able to get on shortly, assuming I find my 3DS, I seem to have misplaced it.

I've got it set aside for you. If you see me online and are ready to trade just send me a request.

Edit: I was rearranging my boxes and I happened to find a Phione with you as the OT. I must have traded you for it at some point and forgotten. Got any Mudkips with egg moves handy?

I should have a spare Mudkip around, if not I can breed some this weekend.

I might be up for a battle if someone can help me evolve the Seadra that I'm revising into my challenger team. Can't remember if I've lost three in a row - definitely two but I didn't modify after the first. Can I still use that swap?

I'll be on in a little bit. I'm not against a swap use, but I'm not in charge of the rules.

I'm fine with using back-swaps, possibly for up to two pokemon at a time. Any more should require a full team swap.

[Sylthia]

I'll try to check in periodically this evening, but will be playing Fire Emblem in the meantime.

If you have more than two swaps banked (and you haven't won since getting them), you've lost three times in a row, so you'd be allowed to change everything anyway. It works out nicely.

EDIT: I am officially swapping out Aerodactyl and Dragonite for Scolipede and Kingdra.

I did it, so I would be kind of a jerk if I said you couldn't. I'm also online if you still need that Kingdra evo.

Logging on now.

EDIT: Oh. Missed you.

[Quietus]

Logging on now.

EDIT: Oh. Missed you.

I got you, didn't realize what you wanted at first. Kingdra tried to learn Hydro Pump by the way, but it looked like you had your moveset.. well, set, so I didn't forget anything for it.

[JustPlayItLoud]

Logging on now.

EDIT: Oh. Missed you.

Sorry. Comcast. Ugh.

[DarkLightDragon]

I'm back from con weekend. It was quite exhausting, but I'm up for battles today. I believe there was someone looking to challenge me?

[Elhann]

Yeah, that'd be me, but I don't know how available you'll be when I can log in

[Qwertystop]

I'm up for challenging any leader as long as it's over-and-done within about half an hour of now (so starting reasonably nowish).

[Quietus]

If anyone's looking for the Carapace Badge, I'll be available tonight!

Unrelated, but are you aware that the source of your avatar image returns a 404 error? I noticed your avatar hadn't been displaying for a while, so I finally checked the page source and copied the direct link to your avatar.

[Lpaulb116]

His avatar shows on mobile.

[Qwertystop]

I'm up for challenging whoever. Be on in a minute, Quietus.

[Sylthia]

His avatar shows on mobile.

It's a different one though. His old one was a red dragon type if memory serves.

Mobile doesn't show custom avatars. That's the last generic he set.

EDIT: Quietus, are you Edward ingame? What battle type?
