They're having one in Roswell, Virginia, which is a little north of Richmond. But either way, check this out:
Okay, so here I was trying to think of a good Flying type to replace my Togekiss since I needed a pokemon in general that could counter Salamence and Garchomp, and after a while, I came up with this guy:
Anyway, here was the set I had in mind.
Gyarados @ Muscle Band/Charti Berry/Wacan Berry
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/164 HP/92 Spd(Should've gone for 100)
Ability: Intimidate
Moveset:
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Thunder Wave
I needed someone that can give T-Wave support so they could put Salamence, Garchomp, and maybe Dragonite, in their place. I gave it DD so it can boost its Attack to recover from Intimidate and KO the Dragons w/ Ice Fang. Sure he has the 4x weakness to Electric, but I rarely see that outside of rain, which I wouldn't be using him against anyway with my team (barring Rotom, of course). DD gives him just enough speed to outrun an un-scarfed Salamence. He would've been able to outrun Garchomp under regular conditions, but the I found out that when 113 speed gets a +1 boost from DD, the total rounds down to 169. I'm going to fix this later b/c I have no EV-lowering berries.
