I've been meaning to ask these for a while. How does a clan get into a war and how are the teams picked?
When we decide to do a war (usually when clan activity is higher) we challenge another clan to war. It's simple as that. The war leader (used to be me) would ask those he think qualified for the team to join. After that whatever spaces were left were given tryouts.
Last time to decide our best, we had a UU tourney.
Hmm, I think we should start a clan 'commentating' thing. Where once every few days someone posts 1 pokemon and we come up with a new strategy not stated on smogon or anywhere. Originality is key!
Anyways. I want your guys thoughts on this. I'm making a new team (as usual) for doubles or 3 on 3 (I play PBR mainly so thats the style) and I thought of this for a good stall/annoyer pokemon:
Jumpluff @ Lefties
Timid/Jolly
0 hp / x atk / 31 def / x sp atk / 31 sp def / 31 spd
4 hp/ 252 spd/ 252 sp def
Leech Seed
Protect
Substitute

Now you may ask, WHAT! 0 HP! WHY OH WHY! Simple: leech seed restores your health = to what it steals from the opponent. More health taken more % you get back. 2 turns with 2 lefties is SURE to supply a 2nd sub. They switch, send another seed our while they kill the sub. Then setup another sub. The 1 HP EV boost is to guarantee 5 subs if for some reason I have no lefties or leeching and want to just PO my opponent XD
Now, anyone who knows my battling style, knows I NEED 100% accuracy moves. I hate missing when I 'should' have hit. This jumpluff is my exception. I refuse to add stun spore/sleep powder since I don't really like their accuracy.
Now, next to sceptile Jumpluff has the fastest non-shaymin leech seed speed in the game. Why I chose the Jump over Scep is simple: Priority moves and spikes. 3/7 priority moves are resisted by the grass/flying combo. Yes, ice shard says hi, but sceptile also falls to this. He does not however fail to mach punch or vaccum wave like sceptile does. If they do use Ice Shard (or any faster pokemon) then my final move comes in while they break my sub. His natural flying type makes him immune to toxic spikes and spikes.

How can anyone NOT love this move? Seriously. Slap this on the Jump, sacrifice it and send in a sweeper to set up their own DD or Swords Dance while the opponent attempts to setup again or switches. Easy as 1 2 3.
So what do you guys think? I'm mainly concerned about the 0 hp thing. Sound like a good idea?
You know what...I may just offer this as a tournament prize to the runner up. What why not the winner? Well, Megaman12 has dontaed a pokemon to me for the tourney as a 'surprise' trophy.
