DexNav does work in caves, I've searched for things and found them with it multiple times. Maybe its just deciding not to work.

Most people here like to breed our own Pokemon really, I certainly do, I think the breeding shop is really there for those who don't like to

Yes I confirm it works in caves.

And the breeding shop is there for that and to breed you the parents that you'll use to breed your own ;)

I love wonder trade just got me a German 6iv adamant ditto :) now I have a modest and adamant bwahahaha currently finishing up delibirds and then I can bring out adamant pidgeys and weedles.
 
So SOL stands for So Out of Luck? Just my luck. My name stands for unlucky hehe.

For Christmas I got an Xbox 360 with Skyrim legendary edition (thinking of Snivy here), a bunch of cool stuff which I won't talk about because it has no relevance to any member of the guild, and £100 + , enough to buy ORAS (was gonna get it today but plans changed). I'll tell y'all when l get it

That's cool. Anyway if you want to be tested shoot me a VM if there's a specific time you want to battle and I'll see if I'm free. Since we have a full team you'll probably be a sub at the moment although as previously said some of the team have disappeared... not great but we'll sort it out.
Maybe we should add some kind of rule regarding inactivity for members of the war team. Maybe after a week of inactivity you get demoted to a sub or something. Considering that we're actively looking for a war having two inactive members is highly disadvantageous to us.

I've been thinking of ideas for a Mega Steelix team. Sure he's not the best or most viable Mega in OU, but I want to give him a chance to shine (plus his design is amazing). So far I know that I'll need either T-Tar or Hippowdon for sand, and a cleric of some sort would be very useful considering Steelix often has to take a hit before it can do anything and it's highly susceptible to burns. I might run Trick Room somewhere as well but I'm not sure yet, any help/advice would be appreciated.
 
Because of my activity (which I can't do anything about atm) I wanted to be a sub anyway. When we get another war team member I'd like a downgrade.

Yay, someone else going for Battle Spot Competitions!
The team sounds interesting, especially Torkoal, but how do you plan on dealing with opposing Mega Salamences? You can't revenge kill them (unless Raichu has HP Ice, a Choice Scarf and Salamence has no DDance yet) and even Weezing and Torkoal are 2HKOed by unboosted Double-Edge. So if it manages a DDance, it sweeps your team. I can see burns from Torkoal/Weezing helping, but then both become basically set up bait and Salamence can get another DDance and nullify the burn. Not to mention that some versions run SubRoost or Refresh. If it hacks EQ/Fire Blast, Mega Metagross with Ice Punch can counter it, but since Salamence is everywhere, it means that you will have to go with Metagross as a mega 80% of the time.

Weezing can be a good idea for another thing I'm having trouble with which is Belly Drum Azumarill, since Manectric gets OHKOed by Aqua Jet then. Weezing avoids the 2HKO from everything but Waterfall and can burn or even KO back if it lacks a Sitrus Berry.

Salamence are surprisingly not an issue. They hate dealing with both Torkoal and Weezing, but most of all hate Azumarill, since even with -1 Attack, he scores a KO with Play Rough, or near death thereof. Weezing has Destiny Bond as well, so they have to choose between KOing it or being hit with a WoW and be crippled. Clear Smog also helps alot since it erases stat boosts of everything they attempt, making her even more annoying to handle. The real threat to my team is Mega Latios, as it can outspeed and KO almost everything on my team. DD variants are even more concerning if I don't predict them to be a physical attacker.

Sad to see you go man, hope we can talk to you again sometime.

Guys we're going to war! We're warring Submerged Embassy (I know many of you wanted to war Veneno Oscuridad, but I got a VM from ger9119 asking and we need to war someone). Hope you're ready. Justinjiaxinghu hasn't been on for a while and I need to test a couple of you (Kitt, CedOmega, etc.) so you'll both be subs regardless. But I do need to test you so VM me a time ASAP.

You don't have to be competitive to stay here, just kick back enjoy the guild and have some fun, no need to be battling all the time, I don't even battle that much lol just enjoy the kickbackness which I now make into a word!

It's happening! The Submerged Embassy will get no sympathy from me! Hopefully I can finish up my Mega Steelix team by then, Showdown's acting wonky atm so I haven't been able to test my initial build but I think it looks promising.

Of course. We fight for our friends after all.

So I got FE: Awakening for Christmas and have fallen in love with the series. After playing for a while, I learned characters can get more powerful support relationships. I just got Fredrick and Cordelia S-Rank, and no other image can describe how I feel:

Most of us are not that competitive to be honest, there is no obligation of being a competitive battler to be here (as you can see from most of us), you don't need to leave for that reason...

Salamence are surprisingly not an issue. They hate dealing with both Torkoal and Weezing, but most of all hate Azumarill, since even with -1 Attack, he scores a KO with Play Rough, or near death thereof. Weezing has Destiny Bond as well, so they have to choose between KOing it or being hit with a WoW and be crippled. Clear Smog also helps alot since it erases stat boosts of everything they attempt, making her even more annoying to handle. The real threat to my team is Mega Latios, as it can outspeed and KO almost everything on my team. DD variants are even more concerning if I don't predict them to be a physical attacker.

Destiny Bond and Clear Smog may do the trick actually, so it becomes less of a threat. Azumarill is also 2HKOed so you basically have no counters and once Mega Mence gets a DD up you'll have to sacrifice someone to bring it down. To be honest, there aren't any "counters" available in the Hoenn Dex and the closest thing I've found is Mega Aggron. Well, as long as you have a way to stop it (like Weezing), it should be okay.

On another note, just lost twice in a row to rain teams on BS Doubles with my VGC team... so I'll add something that seems to annihilate the common rain abusers (Politoed, Ludicolo, Mega Swampert, Rotom-W, Kingdra). I'm going for Weakness Policy Lapras. Found the idea on another forum and Lapras hits Ludicolo, Salamence, Garchomp, Swampert and Kingdra for 4x damage with Freeze Dry, while avoiding KOes from stuff like Garchomp Rock Slide and Choice Specs Rotom-W Thunderbolt. These moves activate WP and allow me to hit with this amazing move that is Freeze Dry. A +2 Ice Shard is also a very nice priority move to pick up faster Dragons and even Swampert and Ludicolo that take neutral damage from it.

Aah love the enthusiasm guys! We'll do alright with this war, I have faith. Lets do this!

I managed to get my Orc Hunter to Level 14 today thanks to my friend playing alongside me. I'll probably make a second class to play when he's not about (which is rare) so that's cool. I'll make it a melee class this time and probably a hybrid - either a Paladin or a Monk. I'm thinking the former might be interesting to play, so I'll probably do that. It's going good guys!

Ahh I love that game! Frederick and Cordelia are actually quite a good match. Stahl is the bæ though haha he's really cute :3

Ooh a war! Finally THT is emerging from its cocoon and will hopefully sprout into a beautiful little battling Beautifly! Is it okay for me to be tested since there's space on the team, I'm totally fine with just being a sub but I don't want to miss out if there's a war so even if I don't get into the team it'd like to have a shot at it :3

I've made a little mish-mash team for the THT League out of Pokemon that I've gotten from Wonder Trading leftovers, now I just have to breed them nicely.

Sure, I'm on now if you want to be tested. I have a full team at the moment, but we'll see who's active and when.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oususpecttest-198325344 --> oh my god what a close match...

Thank you! And I'm waiting on there now.

I made an Undead Monk in WoW to play when my friend isn't online (since I don't know if he minds if I continue my Hunter when he's not about). I don't like the damage output they do though (although the mobility is wonderful). But since I have my Hunter I feel more relaxed about choosing a class, so I'll choose something else to play whilst I'm on my own. I'm thinking probably a Warrior or Paladin (since they have nice mobility and deal good damage). I'd like to try a Paladin again, so yeah.

I'm personally excited for the war. Given, I'm more excited for it to be soon for me to be more available to battle, but I'm ready!! ^_^
