Disregard I meant to put Toxic Heal

Ehh it doesn't work as good as the others. I really like the 2nd team though, Espeon's decent

Tyger · August 21, 2016, 09:25:45 AM

Slaking will have a lot more damage if you use Return with max happiness instead of one of your other moves

Big Boss · August 21, 2016, 02:51:46 PM

The Blaziken team is doing well

I wonder if the people at my local thing are any good

I wouldn't consider myself a great battler but I don't want to underestimate them thinking they're just legendary spammers

I watched some of the World Championships that took place a few days ago and it was incredibly disappointing to see how little variety there was in teams.

yeah, things would be so much better if they just adopted smogon rules

Tyger · August 22, 2016, 03:28:32 PM

I hate that official rules is 4v4 doubles

Big Boss · August 22, 2016, 03:32:32 PM

Battles end so quick in 4V4 doubles you don't get much of a chance to have fun and people will just go straight for the powerful stuff.

In the meantime I started making some Pokemecha

Elai · August 22, 2016, 05:09:55 PM

playing through fire red

which is better, hitmonchan or hitmonlee?
