Hey guys, sent my 3DS out to get a capture card installed so I can put my VGC battles on Youtube, so I won't be able to battle until I get it back, but I will hopefully have it back by the end of this week or beginning of next week

Comments about the match: It went back and forth the entire matchup, and a crit hit by his mega really sealed the deal for him since my final pokemon couldn't withstand his last. It was a gg.

Just reminding you that Challengers should also post battle results as per the rules.

We should have a pu frontier due to fact its now a offical tier

Hm, so can someone enlighten me as to whether it's actually an "official" Smogon Tier or not? My understanding is that the most restrictive tier is still NU and PU is what would be considered the weakest of the weak, were it a real tier. I know it exists on PS, but as far as I'm aware it's not an official tier?

Alright, so the whole Challenger Leaderboard thing involving me has been fixed, I wiped all my teams and badges, replacing them with Team Fluffy and the badges Team Fluffy has earned. I have left the Glacial Biohazard Triad untouched because I almost have that team ready and I only need one badge...

Might open after I'm done breeding if I can gather up a nice team without using Leftovers...

Thanks for correcting that, Dircio!

Weekly Raffle Corner:

League Weekly Raffle Banner by Enchanted Hollow Graphics' FairyWitch​

Weekly prizes are given out to League Members. And to participate all you have to do is... nothing!
That's right, every registered Challenger (& Leader) with at least 1 Badge/Symbol automatically participates in the raffle. Winners are chosen randomly, however, you can increase your odds of winning a prize by actively trying to earn more Badges & Symbols! Here is how you can statistically increase your odds:

• At base, each challenger gets 1 "entry point" per 4 Badges earned in total (1 Badge/Symbol minimum)
• During the week, for every 2 challenges in total you gain 1 "entry point" in the raffle
• For every victory against a Gym/E3/Brain you gain 2 "entry points"
• During casual League Tournaments, each battle awards participants with 1 "entry point" and for each Win 1 additional "entry point"

At the end of the week, everyone's entries will be compiled and your chances determined by your entries versus the size of the pot

(Minor Rules:
Each Gym can only be beaten for entries once every raffle week.
If you've won a prize during the last raffle you aren't able to win a prize in the same tier next raffle.
You may only challenge a particular Gym 3 times per raffle week and still be given entries for your challenge to count against that Gym.
During casual League Tournaments, Feature prize winners may not participate in the following Raffle for the 1st & 2nd prize. Participation prize winners are excluded from the following Raffle's 3rd prize.)

1. 5IV shiny Dragonite with Multiscale, Adamant with Dragon Rush, Extreme Speed, Aqua Jet and Dragon Dance (winner will contact Dragontamer to claim their prize)
   
   
2. 6IV shiny Skorupi (in Quick Ball) (winner of this prize will contact Dragontamer to claim their prize)
   
   
3. 5IV Poliwag/Sneasel/Espurr (winner will contact Sito to claim their prize)
   
   Spoiler: Details on Raffle Choices

   • Calm Swift Swim Poliwag with Encore, Refresh, Endure, Haze (in Dream Ball), 31/x/31/31/31/31
   • Jolly non-HA Sneasel with Ice Punch, Ice Shard, Fake Out, Pursuit (in Moon Ball), 31/31/31/x/31/31
   • Bold HA Espurr with Assist, Trick, Barrier, Yawn (in Premier Ball), 31/x/31/31/31/31

Comments about the match: was a very close game although if I had flare blitz'd instead of (Name redacted) I might have won that, GG! enjoy the Flare badge!

 

[Lord Fighting]

PU is an official tier now. Smogon classifies certain pokemon as PU. PU should be added to the frontier as it's Never, never used pokemon essentially.

Also, yay raffle prizes at last. Now I can work on the raffle.

Contact me for a gym battle if you're interested as I'm free at random times.

 

[Dew Watatsumi]

PU is still not an official tier (or at least smogon has not recognized it as such) although I would not mind a NFE frontier...

Hi! Sorry! Yes, I have been and am ORAS compatible since Jan 1st. Closed will post some battle results shortly.

Also, I've been chatting with prakhar this last week, and he's currently breeding up a grass team which sounds pretty promising.

Comments about the match: I honestly should have shifted the turn before, which would have let me get an extra hit in on you. Might have decided the match. Thanks for the battle!

Comments about the match: With 2 razor claw snipers, I had no reason to stop attacking when you were bulking up. If you had gone for a sweep instead of a set-up, it would be a completely different story.
