hey hexing angel welcome to the guild sweetie as well as arch summed it up for you XD and welcome to serebii
edit: also guys you want to try to do a ccat again?
I would be down with this! I really really need a competitive team so it'd be fun to do it as part of a group
... Okay. As someone who joined the whole guild & league thing relatively recently, I must ask (at the risk of sounding like an idiot...): what's a ccat?
Edit: never mind. I got it. Control + F the first page for the win!
I didn't even notice this post until rereading I would welcome CCAT if only because I s**k in OU singles and could learn a thing or two from more experienced people here.edit: also guys you want to try to do a ccat again?
I never really liked competitive battling because of the tendency of banning random things (especially on OU tier). Legendaries, I understand. Things like Dialga and Palkia are "unfair" when facing other Pokemon, but the non-Legendaries, I don't understand. At all. Banning Speed Boost Blaziken, for example. I battle with my friends a lot, and the only constraints we have are: no repeat Pokemon, no repeat items, no Legendaries. And I never had any trouble whenever they used stuff like Mega Blaziken or Aegislash. And yet, they're banned for some reason. Everything has a hard counter, and they're not that uncommon.
Banning Moody? Don't understand that at all. Banning evasion raising stuff? Again, don't understand that, as I've been hit by critical hit Zap Cannon after I used Double Team 3 times. "Unfair"? Yeah. For the guy who used Double Team. Sand Veil and Snow Cloak? What? I've been hit by Thunder in Hail with my Snow Cloak guy (in fact, I never dodged Thunder in that circumstance). Banning Swagger? Why? Mega Gengar got banned? Why? Just Shadow Tag? Mega Mawile got banned too? Mega Salamence too? Why not just ban all Megas, as they're apparently "unfair"? Greninja too, huh? Even though it has like the most predictable moveset in the world, almost on par with Keldeo. Why not ban Stone Edge? If the other guy uses it, it never misses and always gets crit like Razor Leaf in Generation I.
I don't know if any of you play RTS games like Starcraft II, but to me, banning random stuff in competitive battling is like banning the use of certain units or strategies. "No Void Rays. No Colossus. No Carrier + Tempest. No Force Fields. No Blink Stalker all-in. No Cannon rushing. No deathballs, etc." Play other games like Hearthstone where you just KNOW what the other guy is going to do. Kill Command, Force of Nature + Savage Roar, Fireball + Fireball + Frostbolt, etc.
I always considered that when you build an all-around team, you need to consider that the opponent may use certain Pokemon or strategy that may sweep you. "In the event that a guy with too many Quiver Dance/Dragon Dance/Speed Boost/Choice Band Aerodactyl may sweep me, I'll have this Pokemon. In the event of Trick Room, I'll have this guy. For general uses, I'll have this guy, etc"
So I'm looking forward to the ccat thing, so I can see how the experienced competitive battlers create their teams.
And just so you know, Generation VI is the ONLY generation where I'm doing the "OU battles" or stuff like there with these random restrictions. In Generation IV and V, EVERYTHING goes, including so-called super-unfair stuff (glitched Pokemon, NOT hacks). Jolly Scarf No Guard Machamp with Sheer Cold. Pretty unfair, huh? Acid Rain. Also pretty unfair, as you lose 5/16th max HP per turn while I gain 3/8th max HP per turn. Water Spout Starmie in Drizzle. Specs Water Spout Swift Swim Kingdra in Drizzle. PRETTY UNFAIR. Zapdos with Water Spout and Hurricane? Quite unfair. And on and on. My friends and I never banned their usage whenever we battle. And here we are, in competitive battling, where random stuff are banned. So I hope it's understandable that I don't get why certain things are banned.
Hi DX, Angel, Scubasteve. Sorry for late welcome but hope you enjoy your time in the guild!
Lately I spend most of my evenings doing multi battles with friends on wifi. I am always up for double/triple battle if anyone else likes those too.
Also, anyone has NU team they are using on wifi? I know there are very few folks who do which I think is a shame :/

just a heads up guys Ill be away for a good three or four days I need sometime off of serebii if I feel better I will come back
... What happened? I can't go on chat because... I don't know how to navigate around there (and I don't have an account or something), but... it sounds very bad.
Based on experience (I... have experience in being an asswipe, though accidental it was), I think her close friends should talk to her right now before this goes out of hand. "Time heals all wounds" ... experience taught me that time makes this worse.
I hope you feel better soon!
