Can I have a massage too? :p

And there goes my quick way to grind SP, but in all seriousness that's fair, I guess I'm glad I took advantage of it while it lasted.

Also quick question: Is there any sort of try out/ test for joining the war team? I assume there is but I don't see anything about it in the main posts.

And another question: Does that rule mean you can only count one set against each person, or does it mean that if I play with two different people that I can only count my wins against the first person I fought.
That's okay. Next month I'll be hosting another tournament. The winner will be awarded 75 SP. Also, only once a day and only one person per day. I may change the SP however, because on the once-per-day rule.

Is CCAT a member here or something?

Also gonna start building my team in game tommorow. Although I'm gonna research a bit more about IV's before doing so. Once I start building in game, the breeding crisis starts again! But I like having so many eggs when it shows eggs hatched when I am battling someone, makes me feel accomplished :D

Sounds good, still not clear on the War Team thing :/

You have to be tested by the leader.
That's what I figured. If we're gonna war soon I want a piece of the action. Can the test happen on PS? My team isn't ready in my cartridge yet because I still haven't gotten an HA Carvahna yet, but I think I'm getting it soon.

I would like to join the War Team

Pokémon Showdown/Pokémon Online username: Elegant Mango
Timezone & Availability: GMT -6, 3-10 pm on Tuesdays-Fridays and almost all day on weekends

CCAT Update

Mamoswine
Nature / Adamant
Ability / Thick Fat
Item / Quick Claw / Focus Sash
Move Set /
Ice Shard / Icicle Crash
Earthquake / Roar
Earthquake / Iron Head / Stone Edge
Flail / Iron Head / Stone Edge

I know this whole set is all over the place... But here is the plan. Basically using roar to force a switch, which in turn causes Stealth Rock damage if Tyranitar set it up, then that is where Ice Shard comes into play, hitting your opponent with a priority move to either finish them off or make them so damaged that they won't live through another stealth rock hit or what not. Now I know the whole EQ/SE combo is really popular, but that is too predictable. So instead, I thought maybe Iron head to deal with fairies and a possible flinch, which would possible allow a one hit kill or to phase them back out or use Ice Shard. Lastly Flail is only good with HP is low, but this would catch your opponent by surprise as they weaken him. I know this whole set is really gimmicky, but this is just a random set idea for some surprise factor.

Also the Gastrodon set, LynxForte mention below here, I would agree for a possible 6th member.

For the Mamoswine you shouldn't even consider Quick Claw because it's just not a very good item. I'd replace Flail with Endeavor because then you could possibly pick off your opponent with an Ice Shard if you somehow survive to the next turn, plus the Normal type coverage isn't useful for Mamoswine

I disagree about quick claw, it has been very useful to me and I've seen others use it, but yeah Endeavor might be better, but I'm going for when he takes some bad hits. Also if anyone wants to level up really quick, like gain 56,000 exp fast, then check out the links below.

If you want to level up super quick, scan theses QR codes, they all have blissey!! With only healing wish as their only know move.

I hope this helps.

I agree with Quick Claw not being a very good item, especially not on Mamo. Even if quick claw pops, you have to rely on Mamo OHKOing. And if it pops and you use Roar, it won't matter because Roar is a negative priority move. You're just better off with a Focus Sash or a Life Orb. And with less than a 20% chance to activate, that's just too much of a gamble.

Then don't worry about the ball ;) Thanks.
If that's the case then both pokemon are ready now just woulda takrn long to get the ball since only females pass it down and after two and a half boxes I gave up on ralts in premier ball female :/ sorry about that, I hate giving bad service.

The ccat is a team build for the guild by the guild and I meant answer to beat mamoswine notblet it join us lol

Hey there, sorry I haven't been on lately. Btw here's my Secret Base QR code:

I did get that last thing I needed a few days back, so my lair is ready to troll (honestly I could've posted this like a week ago, I just wanted to get that Level Release item :L).

And since I feel like it, here's my Water Monotype team I've been using for some time now:

T4 (Azumarill) (F) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Belly Drum
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Superpower

Giddyup (Kingdra) (M) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Sniper
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Focus Energy
- Draco Meteor
- Hydro Pump
- Agility

Suwako (Greninja) (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory
- Gunk Shot

GJ (Tentacruel) (F) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 224 HP / 252 Def / 32 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Rapid Spin
- Acid Spray
- Knock Off

Helix (Omastar) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Shell Smash
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]

OxiClean (Rotom-Wash) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 212 SpD / 44 Spe
Calm Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split

It started with me wanting to use my Belly Drum Azumarill from X/Y Battle Spot in Showdown and also wanting to try out Critdra after hearing about the Gen VI Crit mechanics. So I made a quick OU team including these two and used it for a short time, but it didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I decided to make them into a Monotype team since I'd made some Mono teams years ago and had some fun using them.
Sure enough, now I've got a fun team where everyone pitches in. The team's done quite well in its past ~30 Monotype battles and in most of its 10 or so OU battles so far. I'm really glad I made this team. :)

That's great ;) I can probably trade tonight (around midnight GMT) or tomorrow morning.

Cos i missed a fair amount of the competitive scene between 5th-6th gen some poke to me looks strong, but im not sure how they fit into a team, or what they are on a team to do. Pokemon like blissey is a clear tank and smeargle is a clear lead, but what do some pokemon, such as azumarill isnt clear to me. It isnt necessarily a sweeper, but does it help take out your main sweepers weaknesses?

Azumarill is a very versatile mon. He's mostly used as a wall breaker, but can be used as a late game sweeper. I think some even use it as a wall.

Thank you The Last Jedi for posting the CCAT, we've already had a Rotom- Wash set from Top Skuttler I do believe so I won't include the second one (the Gastrodon set I saw was valid though).

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 232 Def / 4 SAtk / 24 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def/-Atk)
- Scald
- Thunder Wave / Toxic
- Ice Beam / Fire Blast / Psyshock
- Slack Off

Slowbro is my nomination - Regenerator core with Amoonguss, sound defensive trio with said Amoonguss + Tyranitar whilst still providing some offensive pressure. Keldeo can not 2HKO this thing, which is good since if Amoonguss goes my team dies to it. Talonflame is checked, Mega Charizard X is checked some more. All good. Bisharp problem is an issue but Excadrill & Garchomp do handle it. Your choice of move - T-Wave makes Garchomp's wallbreaking easier or means Excadrill doesn't need to rely on Sand to function as a sweeper on offensive teams, whereas Toxic wears down bulky threats like Latias, Hippowdon, Landorus- Therian and Azumarill. Ice Beam nails Dragons, Fire Blast hits Ferrothorn and Psyshock is dual STAB to beat Keldeo. Slack Off is required as recovery. Peace out.

@ Romeo32, thanks for the advice! Heatran would definitely make an excellent addition to my team (although I still think Magnezone could fit well here too, to remove bulky Steel types no matter what) and definitely provides me with some utility. I think it is fast enough to run Taunt, since it's there to hit Suicune, Mega Venusaur and other slow utility Pokemon. But I never use the move much anyway, so we'll see. Lava Plume / Earth Power / Toxic / Protect would be a good set to run I suppose.

Well, my school term has ended so I'm now in my Christmas holidays! Not a bad start to the year, lets hope I can continue it. I'm probably going to be spending the next 2 weeks playing video-games 24/7, since I'm cool and whatnot. ORAS will definitely happen, World of Warcraft and maybe Skyrim as well. Exciting.
