hey trainer
Fill up the sign up sheet!
And most people will do that cos it at least hits for neutral damage. Ludicolo is mainly weak to Flying and Bug, moves not everyone has. With Thunderbolt, at least they can hit Ludicolo for neutral damage, especially if it's STAB.
This will be the first Wi-Fi tourney i've played since the Autum friendly so my team has been changed and i'm going to use a few new pokemon and the main one is going to be Suicune and I think a lot of people will be suprised but i'm hoping to pull off a few more victories then last time. I'll be in teh Masters divison so i'll know it'll be tough and I still got a lot of training to do over teh next week to get prepared but i'll be ready to roll.

I'll keep that in mind
Got any suggestions for that? I have a few ideas buuuuuuuuut...Silvershark

I'll keep that in mind
I don't want to mess with any ideas you have by being too specific, but here's a few things to keep in mind when team building. Make sure you some good forms of speed control first and foremost. Typhlosion's fast, but is still out sped by a lot of common threats. Next make sure you have a way to take on Flash Fire abusers that will come in to take the free boost. Then there's pokemon that resist fire attacks. Most common ones take about 50% damage from a Fire Gem/ Sun boosted Eruption anyways, so just make sure you have a mon that can pick off at least about 60% from those pokemon before they can attack. Also be conscientious about priority moves and Wide Guard. You don't have to have a counter to priority attacks, just be aware that a lot of them will be aimed at Typhlosion. There's also countering rain and maintaining weather control, but that applies to every team.
How Typhlosion is used is important too. It can steamroll a lot of newer players right off the bat, but some more experienced players will know how handle it. In those cases it may be more beneficial to save Typhlosion for late game or not even bring it at all for a few battles. Typhlosion's mere presence will usually affect what pokemon your opponent brings into battle, so use that to your advantage.

I've entered again after coming 39th in Europe in the last tournament over Xmas I'm hoping to do a bit better this time.
I've tweaked my team a little but not sure on my last slot.
Tyranitar, Excadrill, Landorus, Uxie, Scizor . . . and the last slot is either going to be Cresselia or Latias . . . or I might even shove Volcarona in there to mess up the oppositions Scizor's and Metagross!!

I might switch out Cloyster though, I mean what's he gonna do in a double battle? Possible substitutes are Dragonite (Outrage, Extremespeed, Roost, Dragon Dance) Multiscale or Scizor (Bullet Punch, Swirds Dance, Roost, Bug Buzz) Technician

I have yet to start playing my White 1 and Black 2, I tend to go serious in competitive battling. But until I complete my platinum (and before that my Colosseum and XD), I tend to not start with those first!

2012 Strongest Garchomp, 2012 Strongest Tryanitar, 2012 Strongest Metagross, 2012 Strongest Scizor, McDonalds Hydreigon, Anime tie in Thundurus
I just threw together a team of good flawless Event pokes I had sitting around.. I wanted my team to be all Event Pokemon in Cherish Balls, just for looks, so I just grabbed the coolest/strongest Events, in Cherish Balls, I had. I'm really just playing for the Barry and for fun. I EV trained the pokes and changed their moves but other then that I'm just rollin with what I picked, no strategy or anything. I'v used this team a few time before in past tournament and have always placed top 10% which isn't bad. Plus I get to look (or maybe just feel) cool using all Events! X )

You can't say "from the Sweden" it's "from Sweden"
Also it says "Shreyas' Team" but it's my team. Also, all my Pokemon are shiny since I have a shiny trade shop (dunno if you can fix that, it's not that big of a deal) Added a saying/message aswell: I'll battle with ADAPTABILITY!
