Avatar change!

Anyway...
I have realised there is not many combinations I can do with my signature pokemon is there a prerequisite amount of days from joining to be able to use my one free switch?
I don't think so....But you only get one free switch.
well the idea is to battle other clan members and improve your rank. We help each other out and gain experience (lol) as battlers. It s agreat place
I agree with the last sentence. Most people here are pretty nice, and it's also a decent place to just talk about competitive pokemon in general.

I'm thinking about trying out HO. The fighting part doesn't look as fun, but you don't know until you try, though I've always enjoyed predicting.

Would a HO team with 4 special pokemon and one special/mixed work? Just to handle physical walls?
any poke that sets up will eat you, especially outrage haxorus 1DD=650 attack =O
Which is why ditto is so fun. :D

Ahh, computer troubles...
Back up and running now, anyway.

Congrats to the winner of the Clear Skies tournament!

(22:17:43) [BA]Pimm94: aw yea.


Told you I could do it Orb.

Like a boss. Grats!

New members, you're both accepted. Fenyxfyr is in Kanto and Yuki is in Sinnoh. I hope you both enjoy clan life here! :)

--- RU Ready ---

I can now reveal the RU Ready tournament quarter-finalists and the quarter final matchups!

1) Blayd vs Infernape Rulez
2) Shadow Gallade vs Ninja Dewott
3) Mcdanger vs NinjaMuffin6890
4) OrbrunnerX vs AnnoyingRedHead

Some changes had to be made for inactivity, but this is it now. No more shuffling every day.

There'll also be a super-duper tournament table in the tournament spoiler soon.

The deadline is the 14th of November!

--- War ---

We are on the verge of war! I'll be contacting the War Team about a related matter.

Finally, Vali has left the clan to go and co-lead another one :( We'll miss him, but wish him luck with his new clan.

I have to fight ARH? There goes my tournament streak.

I would like some help making a good team with Glaceon

Abomasnow. Specs Glaceon has the biggest Blizzard in the game, and 100% accuracy doesn't hurt.

If you do go into the Monotype tier, there is no Perma weather (Orb will rejoice!)

I've tried to use the weather mons in Monotype, but they are banned from use. Probably because Water would then overpower everything, like it does now

Odd. They used to work.

That is so true.

Rain is just so annoying at the moment. I still think rain is the best weather, even after the Drizzle + Swift Swim ban.

Choice Specs Dragonite/Tornadus just wrecks everything. The only thing really safe switching in is Blissey or Chansey. Volcarona is another Hurricane abuser that is also an issue (although not as bad as when it's under sun).

Volcarona gets Hurricane?
Who in their right mind would put Volcarona on a rain team???

Well, looks like Clefable can do something that Blissy isn't better at, suicide lead!

Or Life Orb Blizzard hail sweeper.

HvH! Bring it on! I really like that we get to play against Hoenn. *looks at Orb and smiles*

Heh heh heh.

This is the timezone on which the cool people live. For half of the year.

Edit:

Woah! Just seen that Jets is banned (at least temporarily). Our clan has become like the Mafia (but a nice, friendly Mafia) you mess with the BA! You is gonna find yourself face down in a canal banned! Best thing is, it's indirect, and none of us have really done anything ;)

WE ARE THE MAFIA WHAT NOW HUH HUH

Unless you can't (not "don't want to", "can't") get on at the same time as your opponent, I think it'll be staying. At any rate, pretty much anyone would lose to Psycho, and I fight AoK so that it's Captain versus Captain, so you actually probably have it the easiest between your two choices. (No offense, Metal.) Yeah, I'm probably the worst fighter on our HvH team, but I kinda have to step up due to the job.

Would a HO team with 4 special pokemon and one special/mixed work? Just to handle physical walls?

Dedicated physical walls are a lot harder to run into than dedicated special ones, and the few good ones there are die to their weaknesses. Gliscor, for example, can't take an Ice Punch without flinching. Blissey, however... Wish/Protect Blissey walls even Specs Hydreigon. CM Blissey is even worse.
A 3-physical 1-special 2-mixed HO team seems to run reasonably well for me.

Also, Moxie/Scarf/HJK Scrafty is a boss.

Cool another HvH. Wait, im not battling? Aww.
By the way, is Psycho still in Hoenn? He was talking about being a sort of "God" and not be in any clan.

Nothing was changed, and I don't see anything wrong with him still being here. Hoenn is in last, right?
