well yea I cant use the same team every challenge to my gym that would just lead to the challenger pseudo counter-teaming me so I just pick what I feel like using at the time :D, and I did not mean to offend you your team is both interesting and cool just not so Equipped for Fire and the range of types they like to carry in their Moveset EG Rock, Ground, Fighting, etc

Of course no problem. I often do that too ;)

I feel you I like to switch up my team alot as well which I don't use the same mega half the time as well as I switch my team around alot so its less for the challenger to counter my team members.

also just giving a heads up here I am still alive I hope to open up this week soon hopefully which I heard that cutty started his apprenticeship? I got a message from dj about he got the fairy badge if I read my message right?

Comments about the match: Good game, you did too much swapping to save Tyranitar and it cost you 2 Pokemon. I am sure you would do better if you actually did have Wish Vaporeon rather than the set it has now.

Comments about the match: even if I sacked off Ttar it wouldn't have mattered in your gym, wit hthe bulky stall it still would have been the same outcome, as for wish vaporeon, I dought it would have been much help either, maybe a 1% chance of taking 1 pokemon in your gym idk, as for Ttar, It was my only mon that could handle your mega, which it still wasn't good enough

Comments about the match: I made overprediction after overprediction and let my pokemon take unnecessary damage. I could've played so much better that it hurts. Guess I'll have to play better next time :p GG man.

Comments about the match: You say things can't take hits but they are bulkier than you think. Knowing my play style, hopefully you realize how often I don't actually attack the pokemon in front of me unless everthing takes a considerable amount from my best attack. I was legit scared by the instant death of my Landorus, but outside of that you made way too many sacs unnecessarily which ended with your loss.

Rate opponent's performance: 8/10
Comments about the match: Weird/Interesting team. Girafarig was really weird because 1. I couldn't remember if it had a secondary type (it does) and 2. Never seen it because I don't play NU/PU, so I had no idea what it does. I was able to handle it pretty easily though. I've already told you this, but you can build a good team, you just focus a little too much on beating the leaders instead of making sure your team is balanced. Don't be afraid to ask for help when building teams, I don't think anyone would tell you no, unless its going to be used against them.

Gym closed for a couple hours. Been babysitting my niece and nephew and I need a nap

You'll be missed Khybon! Hope to still see you around.

open for the next hour. Going to try to open a couple more times during the week for a short amount of time, and should be open for sure on Sunday for a longer amount of time.

Edit: Closed - and a reminder that I will need a dark apprentice soon or the Dark Gym will not be open for the month of August (scizor64 did one of the two test matches, but never posted an application, so I'm still open for candidates)

Comments about the match: Honestly, you didn't do too poorly at first - you even made a couple good predictions. I'm giving you a lower rating because you decided to give up mid-match, which made it an easy win for me.

Gym might open tomorrow, depends on my schedule. I'll be on the chat for the next little bit, though.
Also, Pokemon World Tournament is lookin kinda empty. If this is the monthly tournament to determine E3, then my triad is currently set to win as I think we're the only triad to have two participants :p

Hi everyone!

As many of you have noticed, I haven't been around lately. I've been on vacation for the past couple of weeks and I will be again until late August with limited availability to tend the League.
Having mentioned this, operations are running smoothly so far and I would entrust Thread Overseers and other League Leaders to continue running the League together.

If there are things to be updated in the OP (weekly raffle, openings, closed applications), please just send me a PM to remind me and I will be glad to do so when I find a moment.

Do remember that the Pokémon World Tournament is about to start (July 24th) and, like with our previous tournament, it will determine which Triad will be the upcoming E3 Triad and, of course, be lots of fun as it is.

All this aside, I have a few requests:
  • For those of you working on the Trade Shop project, please remember to make a grand announcement in our League and let me know when things are ready to be updated for the OP.
  • @Thread Overseers, please collaboratively ensure to update the spreadsheet, both for challenger battles and the upcoming tournament battles.
  • It would be great to have few, or even no, open positions. Please scout for potential candidates who could apply for these positions and would enrich our League.
  • @DJSummers: As my apprentice I will grant you a unique apprenticeship extension due to my absence. If other capable Leaders/Challengers are interested in taking over apprenticeship, they are welcome to contact me and have DJ train them.

An exciting announcement also: MasterGohan has been working on very compact Badge cases which fit with the "Trinity theme" of our League and anyone can carry these in their signature if they wish to. We will be having a grand revealing very soon! :)

Thank you very much everyone~

Thanks for the updates.
-The Trade Shop may end up being a Breed Shop, the only trades will be Events and Legendaries, and of course they may be cloned.

-So far the Spreadsheet should be alright with updates, like I always say, if you're missing any badges PM/VM or post here to let me know so I can go back and see what I've missed. They might edit a post after I've left that page.

-Alright for accepting members, we'll let you know when to update the first post.

-I'd gladly apprentice more, just may need to redesign a team.
