I completely forgot about Heat Wave. Thank you!! I think I'll put the 4 EVs into HP for Stealth Rocks. And I think I'll replace Substitute with a Hidden Power. Thanks!

Don't put 4 EVs into HP! If you do that you will have an even HP number, making you take 25% on each switch, if you have an odd HP number the game rounds the damage down to 24%, giving you one extra switch in.

Oh no I'm talking about battling at Level 50, when it has an even number without investment, so the 4 gives another switch in :)

Oh, ok. I always assume level 100 because I mostly play in Showdown, I didn't know that 4 actually gave you an odd number at level 50. The more you know!

I'm really interested in this League thing, but it's WiFi and I don't know if I'll have the time to beat the game, breed a team with the correct IVs and EVs and train them for WiFi battles. You know? Anyway, I'll start building my ORAS OU team soon.

Got my Undead Warlock to Level 18, they've changed Soulstone to only work on people in your group, not on yourself anymore. Which is fair enough, but I liked being able to resurrect myself when I needed to. I did a dungeon that took ages since the tank screwed up, which meant we had to kick him and get a new one. Then the healer left and we needed a new one of those. I didn't get any good gear from it either really, was looking for good enchantments and got nothing except a wand. Sucks, but I'll keep trying.

Great, finally bred a 5 IV froakie but it has the wrong nature. Earlier I got a female 5 iv froakie on gts and used that with the one I borrowed here, but neither have the right nature. Now I have to put in my original hasty froakie with 2ivs with an everstone so I can get the right nature, but the chance of getting 5 ivs is lower :(

If you have 2 5IV froakies, just breed with the destiny knot until you get 2 6IV froakies. Then with the destiny knot still on, you can just keep going until you get the nature you want. There only 6 stats and 17 natures so its not too much effort.

Since the new posts aren't ready yet, I can now announce that the donation and breeding shops were transferred to the OP under these names:

THTBreeders_zpsc80a0acd.png


DeoxysSpaceExchange_zpsd90a3170.png


The Last Jedi is still running the breeding one and I'm still running the donations. This way we make it clear that it is for the whole clan.

I am breeding with the destiny knot, and believe me, breeding for natures is a pain when none of the parents have the right nature with an everstone to pass it on. Took me two weeks to get an azumarill with the same nature before, and I wasn't even breeding for ivs! A 5 iv can show up at any time with these two, and if its a female with the wrong ability I can switch it with the original, if it's a male with the wrong ability that sucks, but i'll just have to keep trying.

Dear Land Sector members:

In order to celebrate the announcement of the VGC 2015 ruleset, we're having the VGC Christmas Battling Season.

From 24th December (12:00 AM) to 1st January (11:59 PM) every win in a VGC Battle against fellow guild members will earn Land Sector members *30 SP* instead of 10.
All times are GMT, so take that into account.

You can only use this offer once per day.

Have fun!

PS: I encourage other sector leaders to come up with similar activities to stimulate the competition :) For example, Sea awarding points for Triples and Sky for Rotations.

In game, PS, or both?

So i just did some calcs with speed, and, if i did this right, heres what i got

Pokemon with Base 60 Speed, 252 Speed EVs, neutral nature, and a choice scarf, out speeds a Pokemon with Base 100 Speed, 252 EVs, and a positive nature. This is probably obvious to some people, but this means a choice scarf spinda can out speed a max speed salamence.

Now i can fulfill my plan of skill swapping contrary onto salamence and blasting my opponent with Draco Meteors that +2 my SpA each turn

There's a small flaw in that logic. By seeing Spinda and Salamence it's highly likely that Salamence will get double targeted and KOed. Draco Meteor is a single-target move so you'll always let one of your opponents free to attack back.
It could work better if you do it on the first turn and then Mega Evolve and spam +2 Hyper Voices.

Both, as long as you use VGC 2015 rules (which is basically Battle Spot Doubles now).

I better start practicing building doubles teams. I really need a rank up, this is my chance.

EDIT: Well, I'm beginning to build a doubles team on ps for the land sectors Christmas season. I've been here for a while, and I think it's time I rank up, even after the season I can use this too. I will not be building this one in game, meaning that I will use legendaries on this. Here it is so far, building it around mega sharpedo, I need advice so I can eventually build some teams all by myself. It's for VGC 2015 rules:

Sharpedo (M) @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Aqua Jet
- Toxic
- Poison Fang

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Light Screen
- Safeguard
- Dazzling Gleam
- Sing

Smeargle (M) @ Lax Incense
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Protect
- Sketch
- Spore

Gengar (M) @ Payapa Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Swagger
- Giga Drain
- Hypnosis
- Dream Eater

Quick question: if someone beats me in a battle or two, do I post something about it so that the winner gets their SP?

Level: 50

Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Level: 50

- Light Screen
- Safeguard
- Dazzling Gleam
- Sing

Sing is very unreliable and Blissey overall is a bad choice in VGC since the top tier threats are all physical: Kangaskhan, Tyranitar, Garchomp, some versions of Salamence, Talonflame, Landorus, Mega Metagross and so on. You will almost always face one physical attacker on the other side so Blissey loses most of its usefulness.

You NEED Protect on Sharpedo so you can guarantee a Speed Boost. I'd run Waterfall/Crunch/Ice Fang/Protect. And to be honest, I don't see the point of having Poison Fang AND Toxic on the same moveset and especially on such a frail Pokémon. You have way better moves to run on Sharpedo.
There's one niche about Sharpedo on VGC. Mega Sharpedo's Crunch is one of the very few moves that can actually OHKO Cresselia (Specially Defensive variants), so play it smartly.

@JohnMango: Yes, you should report it here ;)
