Fire Gym is closed for the evening.

Also, I want to apologize for not being consistent lately. :/ Life, and all that...

Challenger's name: *Kyurem*
Leader Type & Owner: Fire (Yukomov)
Team used against Leader/Elite/Champ: Zapdos, Tyranitar, Lapras, Heatran, Shuckle, Gardevoir
Challenger Result: Win (*Kyurem*: 4, Yukomov: 0 )
Rate your performance: 7/10
Rate opponent's performance: 10/10
Comments about the match: That Shuckle definitely ruined me. Made me wish I still had an entry hazard user; it's ironic that I say that, because I USED to... but never saw entry hazards when I had something to clear them away. Saw no point, and yet since then, most, if not all, of my battles have had at least Stealth Rock up. I also made a poor decision against Zapdos, and realized I'd come to regret the decision I'd made to sacrifice that one thing I shouldn't have. :/ Still, GG.

I was debating to use Kyurem or not, but it's a good thing I didn't because that one Pokemon you used against Zapdos would have done some damage! I completely forgot in the first move of the match that Fairy isn't very effective against Fire, so it's ok! xD

Please edit out the name of the Pokemon I used. ^^; I don't think there's a hard rule against it, but I'd rather not give other potential challengers a small amount of insight as to who/what's on my team before they challenge me. XD

I just wish I'd been a bit smarter on Zapdos. Slowing it down was a good idea - worked to my advantage, I guess - but that battle would have gone very differently if switches had been made. :/ Not saying I'd have won, but it wouldn't have been over quite so fast. XD

EDIT: Thank you for editing out the name. ^^

Whoops, sorry!! Hey, I came to become the champ, so I made sure to go all out against ya! xD
Am I the first one with your badge?

Also, how many badges do the other challengers have? It'd be more convenient if that was listed in the first post!

You're not the first one with the Pyre Badge, no. A few other challengers have earned theirs from me. As for other badges, I'm not sure. No one seems to be tracking which badges they have in their sig... It would be convenient to see who has what badge, though, like you mentioned.

I'm not saying you were wrong to go all-out on me - just that I could have definitely battled smarter than I did. :p *curses entry hazards under breath*

Hello! I'm Kody! Are there any other challengers in this league so far?

You will not be disappointed when if/when you do battle him. I was decisively wrecked by the team he chose for the Fire Gym. ^^; He also seems to have the drive to actually go all the way, so he may just make it. ^^ I'd be surprised if he doesn't, personally.

I know this sounds like something out of a anime by I think I have re founded my lost spark or my passion for battling I may remake my team because of this.

Fire Gym is closed for the evening. Once again.

As an aside, is it inconvenient if I'm eyeing the open Electric-type Gym position and pondering a swap to that? It's just a thought right now, and nothing I'm seriously considering.

EDIT: Same as before; not going to double post in the thread, so I'm just gong to edit this post.

Yes he did beat me. It was a good battle and a learning experience. Like Yukomov said that Shuckle is devastating. Definitely earned the badge.

I know Wego I felt the same. I only had one Pokemon who was weak against aqua jet but somehow it KO'd everything including some powerful Pokemon like Hydreigon. My team got knocked out right away. The Shuckle was very annoying as well. I had to hit it twice with earthquake and once with dragon rush to finally remove it.

And then I was able to put down all my hazards while you were trying to take it down, too! Good thing Dragonite was able to survive that one Pokemon so I could finish it off, it would've been dangerous to deal with it.

Yes "that one Pokemon" is what I have used in the past too destroy most teams. His typing and speed is great. Sadly he isn't very durable. Extreme speed got him pretty easily especially after being damaged by stealth rock.
