Ikaru

Ash just told Iris his favorite type is Ice.

And everyone thinks Ash is useless. ...He still is. Rules -There will be three judges, Amethyst and two other members, any of whom are free to volunteer. First come first serve -Being a judge will mean you cannot enter the contest yourself. -Members can PM me images for future weeks contests. Their use is not guaranteed. -If a Member's image is chosen, they may not enter the contest that week -You are limited to one caption per week, but it can be changed before the contest close -The contest ends on SUNDAY at 12 AM EST Prizes -Each judge's favorite caption will receive $R400. If this means three different people get $R400 or one gets $R1200- so be it. -One random entrant each week will be given $R300. This is independent of the winner. Judges will be included in this draw. -If a Member's image is chosen, they will be awarded $R500 This week's Image~ To enter, just post the caption you think best suits the image in this topic~

1 Erick 2 Owen, kay~ And the random pick isssssssssssssssssss............... Stein, who totally needs it! /sarcasm Next one will be up later today~

The lower tiers is generally a lot of set up, and in that case more bulk might not be all too reliable on the unevolved weather setters; they can't set up much themselves last I checked, and an extra 1.5x in both defenses won't really save you from +2 or +3 attackers. The rest of the team is a bigger threat, I think, so really it shouldn't matter where they themselves go. And for the above reason, Ditto might actually be less effective in higher tiers, since just looking at my team alone (not OU in the least, mind) I have two scarves as it is. Ditto chances a speed tie, and potentially gets wrecked, whereas in lower tiers where everything has to set up to be much of a big threat, it just comes in like "sup, thanks for the boosts, I'm guaranteed to be faster than you, now die." This is furthered by the fact that generally, short of maybe Curse or Bulk Up, the set-uppers are still glass cannons that get destroyed by anything faster.

I actually used a special version of that set in 4th gen as the lead on my rain team lol it's so effective <3

>Implying I was serious I'm generally available, you know, all day erryday (except today and tomorrow actually) so like. yeah. whatever they pick.

...I didn't know we were supposed to do this on our own >> Can haz Ame and Wolfie pl0x >> <<

Beedrill: Pierce the Heavens

inb4Yanmega EDIT: I'll turn this into a serious post eventually, and I'll start with the overrated things: [b][i]Zoroark[/i][/b] For as much as it was hyped up as one of the very first gen V Pokemon to be revealed, it's... not so great. A walking mindgame, basically. If you can Illusion a fighting type to bait the ineffective Psychic attack, good for you, you probably just swept. But it only works once on the same person. ...Unless they're stupid. ....and send in Skarmory against "Darmanitan"... .........and they know it previously used Focus Blast....... My point remains. [i][b]Garchomp[/b][/i] Hi, my name's Weavile, and I just Ice Sharded you to death. OH MAN, SO UBER. Barring Lati@s, the fastest Dragon. That's nice, you still have like... 102 base. There's a lot of things that beat that, assuming no Scarfs are involved. And if so, see above. Pretty big attack, but in comparison to Dragonite and Salamence (who have arguably better movepools too; that is, Dragon Dance) it's not the best either. And speaking of movepools, hi, my name's Skarmory. Nice Fire Fang you got there. [i][b]Blaziken[/b][/i] Sup, I get wrecked by priority short of Bullet Punch, which every team seems to have these days. I admit, short of that it's still a really good sweeper, but Chandelure actually does a very nice job of dealing with it, as long as it isn't carrying Stone Edge. Dedicated walls also work very nicely; things such as Jellicent can stop it cold unless it has Swords Dance, and even then you'd need to use Flare Blitz and kill yourself unless you have lolNightSlash. It has big STAB moves, but they have to be at least neutral for it to hurt that much, and just LOOK at all the Ghost and/or Water-type walls <3 Again, priority deals with any speed booster nicely, and Blaziken is no exception. Speaking of... [i][b]Chandelure[/b][/i] You have Shadow Tag, and you (usually) have a Choice Scarf. Alright, so you murder Ferrothorn and Forretress. ... Okay? You killed something of mine without using a fire move? Meet my CB Pursuit Scizor. Or anything with Pursuit in general. When your schtick is to come in and kill something then run away, and for that reason you have "no counters" and are therefore Uber, it comes into question: Why doesn't anyone just run Pursuit if you're that scared of this thing?

The movie sells billions, and sequel is made! The sequel starts off with Ikaru finally working on logs...

lol it wasn't really that scary =p If you mean trainer cards, you can make them here for the League, but some of us have just been using them to show off a given team lol As for what we do here, it might be easier for you to look around the forums and find stuff; we have a server on Pokemon Online which is where we host our League and hang out all the time. In any case, welcome~

(22:30:04) +Ikaru: Looks shopped.

CONTEXT. CONTEEEEEEEEEEEEXTTT

I repeat, Protect and Hidden Power << >>

...Yes, Julia would be proud. Welcome~

... I guess I should finish the one I've had since this all started, huh.
