Kamina

Happy Hour ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, It is Kam back at it again with an RMT. The last RMT I made was just when Gen 6 first came out and now I think it's time to make one for Gen 7 as well. Gen 7 brought a lot of new things into the competitive OU scene most notably their implementation of z move which was like the megas of gen 6. Most people are aware that z moves are used to straighten attacking moves but not many know of the effects that z moves have on non damaging moves. Gen 7 also brought about the popularity of battle terrains, four in specific. It is important to know all of the z-moves and battle terrains if you want to battle competitively in this gen. Having knowledge about all the new pokemon, especially the ultra beast, will also help out a lot. The team I am presenting now got top 400 in smogon Pokebank OU in 21 games(Proof[i swear both of my losses were from hax-]). I could have gotten higher but exams and finals were coming up soon and anyways this was more of an educational rmt. Jirachi @ Normalium Z Ability: Serene Grace Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Happy Hour - Iron Head - Fire Punch - Thunder Punch I know what you guys are probably thinking, "ofc kam is using a jirachi" and probably also "why on earth is it running happy hour". When happy hour is used as a z move it makes all of jirachi's stat increase by 1. This makes it as potent as its scarf counterpart without being forced to be locked into a move. I thought it was so amazing so I decided to build the team around it. It is supposed to be a late game sweeper though after most of the pokes are weakened and all of counters are destroyed. The added buff to defence is also nice because it becomes significantly less vulnerable to priority moves such as shadow sneak and can also tank moves incase iron head fails to flinch. It can only be shiny when it gets the move happy hour and it is unable to learn heart stamp so I decided to make its other two moves fire punch and thunder punch beating steel and water pokemon respectively. my favorite battle with it would probably have to be http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-485512868 as we can see, HO just gets rekt by it also possibly the best replay ever Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 248 HP / 128 Atk / 112 Def / 20 Spe Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Shadow Bone Alola Marowak is a pretty amazing pokemon this gen. It checks a significant amount of the ultra beast as well as genesect and tapu koko. With the right prediciton, it can fuck up slower teams and get rid of heatran which is one of the few counters to jirachi. It is also my rock setter upper since it usually scares so many pokes away making it easy to get up rocks. S/o to lord bagel for the initial spread. I tweaked it a little to make it 248 hp so that it could switch in five times to rocks and gave it 20 speed to make sure i out-speed all other alola marowak without losing too much bulk. The two losses I had well they were because boomerang missed so I decided to give it eq instead and flare blitz and shadow bone are its best stab moves. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-485506691 it put in work in that replay! Alakazam @ Alakazite Ability: Magic Guard EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Psychic - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball - Substitute For my mega pokemon I decided to go with zam. With sub I can beat bisharps and also do better vs switches. It is also pretty good at beating HO/Balanced. Its speed is amazing and even better, it gets its speed at the same turn it mega evolves so it isn't scared of greninja or most unscarfed pokes in general. The only poke that is going to out-speed this is scarf gene and that one bug fighting UB but they get countered by marowak anyways. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-485487599 6-0ing all by itself. only downfall to this pokemon is focus blast. there isn't much you can do about it just try your best to be in a situation where you won't have to resort to it. Buzzwole @ Leftovers Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 200 HP / 56 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Substitute - Poison Jab - Ice Punch - Earthquake It is pretty tanky and and can pivot in on many phisical attackers. Sub is so that it can avoid any status moves and usually slower teams have nothing break its sub. Poison jab is for faries and eq gets rid of heatran which as explained before helps jirachi sweep. It used to have leech life > poison jab but there are just too many fairy types this gen and leech life wasn't as useful. I gave it enough hp eves to tank a seismictoss on a sub without it breaking and max speed so it can out-speed other buzzwole and the rest in attack that way its attack would raise instead of its defense if it made a poke faint. Zapdos @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 68 SpA / 16 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def - Discharge - Roost - Hidden Power [ice] - Heat Wave It used to be my defogger but eventually i found hp ice to be a lot better. It is a nice scizor counter and it can beat a lot of bulky water pokemon better than jirachi on its own like Toxapex. Pressure also helps me make sure that someone isn't able to always spam hazards after I defog them with my defogger. discharge > thunderbolt because paralized pokes are a lot easier to deal with this team. its spread is pretty standard but it's speed helps it out speed base 100 neutrals and its hp and def make it bulky enough to tank most physical attacks. It is also the ground resist in my team. Tapu Fini @ Leftovers Ability: Misty Surge EVs: 248 HP / 164 Def / 96 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Moonblast - Taunt - Defog The last poke in my squad. It is my defogger and somewhat of a stall breaker. Taunt prevents slower pokemon from trying to set up or recover back their hp. I have scald > surf because even though it can't burn grounded pokes when its terrain is up, it usually stays in long enough for its field to go away or tapu bulu sometimes switches in on it and they get burned which is always nice. moonblast is last stab and it is pretty good vs dark type pokes which my team would otherwise have trouble with. Tapu fini is my only greninja and mega gyradoes switch-in and without it both of them would have an easier time sweeping my team. Its eves were randomized but they have been doing surprisingly well. Guess I got the midas touch - Conclusion The only big threats so far to this team is hoopa-u since I have no switchin for it assuming it is the life orb with max speed and gunk shot/psychic move/ hyperspacefury. z belly drum from azu can also be annoying for this team but fortunately it can only really set up on marowak and if buzzwole is at full it can tank a +6 aquajet and ko back with poison jab. if rocks arn't up i think zapdoes can as well. I saved most of my replays so if you too wish to make it to the top 400s in SuMo just look up replays from "god kam" Importable

Aye, happy birthday bro. Your one of the few people who still remain when I first came here. I hope you have a nice one!!

Happy Birthday Pocky ^^!

Shofu the beatdown was the best imo but everyone did pretty well and it was amazing overall.

Procrastinating for sure

Happy birthday !!!

I, too, believe that everything in the world is already predetermined. That being said, humans have the perception of free will and perception is reality for us. We do not know our future and we never will with one hundred percent certainty.

Happy Birthday :]]!

I would like them more in real life (if they exist) but less in movies

What is your top ten list of favorite anime

I don't really teambuild myself but a rookie mistake that I see a lot of people making is soley focusing on team synergy and not enough on a team strategy. If you need help you should post in reignited'light team dump thread where she makes teams and gives reasons for why they are the way they are.I listen to it all. Rap, nightcore, anime, pop, ost, kpop, jpop, electric, house,country, pretty much if it sounds good enough to me i like it. There is no genre i dislike. Drake is my favorite artist I used to play violin but not anymore I like playing sports but not watching it. Tennis and basketball are my favorite Prob wont be able to reply to anyone in a while Thnx ody

I like jirachi in 4th gen not only because of its flinching powers, but it also seemed very versatile. You could go special attack or run lures like hp ground Which made nothing 100% safe from it. Fk mons, it is almost 70% luck once you reach the really high levels. The more luck on your side the higher the chance it will end up bailing you out of a tough situation. Imo its why pokes like jirachi and moves like scald are so good. Idk, you are a bit vague. If I had to take a guess, it is because I never fall for your dez nuts jokes Man, not going to lie, there were many times where I didn't feel at place here. The only real reason I still stick around is because of my AO friends. If they left I would shortly after as well. Other than that, you are right, there is really not much of an appeal that reborn brings to me. I don't play the reborn game and I don't think i will ever really fit in here. No

The mage? I only really play pokemon and starcraft 2 :[ so idrk what the question is asking. It has been a long time since we have battled each other (like over a year or 2 ago) so it is hard for me to give a super accurate rate. However, when I was playing against you in prcl, I was using a weird team that skitty (when she was not a good teambuilder) and I made around cress. Now I know it isn't a good excuse but I never did take reborn tours as seriously as I took official tours. You were definitely better than the average rebornian probably a 7/10. Smash 4 is alright. I am not really that competitive and I don't think I have ever won one game in multiplayer ,_, given that I only have faced two people so far. Well, not necessarily. Back then, PO was a pretty popular simulator. If you want to take steps to improve right now I would recommend creating a smogon account and joining any of the tours you find interesting while also browsing all of the competitive forums. 1. I can do it in two words. "Almost nonexistent". I rely on a lot of people to build teams for me now a days but once in a while a lord squad is birthed -2. It actually isn't original just like Kamina. I took it from a starcraft 2 player that I used to watch a lot before I joined reborn. His name was also Fruitdealer and, just like you, I also took a liking to the name and took it as my own. 3. The best ORAS team I have ever made was probably the first team I made in 2015 (ik pretty far back). The scizor/manaphy/clefable/lando-t/latios/rotom-w team This is the teambuilding process for it I based the team around cm manaphy and 3attack sd scizor since i thought they synergized well offensively as well as defensively. I then added a u-turn core as well as latios for defog and clefable for rocks (dragon fairy core). The team doesn't really do well now but back than i got really high in ladder (top 10) and won many tours with it including a POCL tour! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-ou-93878 4. If there was one thing i could change about reborn is that they are a bit too strict with there rules. I feel like it limits a lot of freedom of expression but at least they allow it in back channels. I also wish there were ladder tours in reborn like there used to be. They pretty much ended ladder tours because of sniping incidents without even saying before hand that it was illegal. If we had it back, I would greatly enjoy being in reborn again. 5. This one is a tricky one because I like a lot of artist and songs and it changes depending on my mood or if i am with people or not. At this moment though, my favorite artist is drake while my favorite song is "blessings" I don't know if you mean comp mon in ORAS OU or if you mean from every gens OU so i will just answer both of themGen 1 OU: Tauros ORAS OU gen 1: Alakazam Gen 2 OU: Snorlax ORAS OU gen 2: Scizor Gen 3 OU: Skarmory ORAS OU gen 3: Latios Gen 4 OU: Jirachi ORAS OU gen 4: Weavile Gen 5 OU: Politoed ORAS OU gen 5: Keldeo Gen 6 OU: Lopunny ORAS OU Gen 6: Talonflame Yeah

It may be a cliche answer, but I got really good at competitive battling and team building by practicing a lot and having exposure to top lvl players. Two years ago was when I really got into competitive battling, I would ladder a lot in main server and watch high level smogon battles on their forums. My first somewhat official tour was in powc ( pokemon online world cup). The captain of the team decided to give me a shot and play in the team and our team ended up winning the whole tour! (http://pokemon-online.eu/members/72742/ in awarded medals). It actually took me a long time to come up with title, but I thought it would be best if it was short and to the point I haven't been playing to much ORAS recently but I feel like Life orb Hydreigon is really good because it is hard to predict what exactly its moveset will be and dark spam is already amazing. Also, most people don't really prepare for it when they teambuild at all I am no expert in LC, but from what i did play it did seem somewhat centralizing. honestly, i think you have improved a lot recently. You still do choke a little and your team building is a bit weird for my taste so I would say 6.9/10 (it may not seem like a honest number but it really is) no i am not -. Kamina is a character from an anime called TTGL My favorite mega is probably mega lopunny only because I like using it a lot in OU It isn't gallade because that poke isn't that good in OU }: I think you are really funny. It is also nice to have known you for such a long time! Idk if you remember but I played my first and only LoL game with you My favorite junk food brand is probably flaming hot cheetos although i haven't been eating them recently I like burritos, i eat one almost every day

I never did one of these and I have been here for four years so why n o t!? Ask me anything and i'll answer every one of your question.

Build around manectric + band victini

Ahh, Bagel!! I am really glad we crossed paths and that you eventually joined AO. You are a invaluable member to the squad and your battling skills have improved a lot since we first met. I've enjoyed all the ao skype calls that we had together and grats on staying here for two whole years!

Last core, I promise!

The first team you made was pretty nice! I was wondering if you could make a more offensive team for me as well using a different core if you don't mind doing double requests from people

Having experience with this team, it is pretty well made. I really like the coba berry keldeo because not only does it act like a lure as you said, but it can also fake being scarfed. Overall, this team uses a lot of unique sets and can catch many people off guard if used correctly and nice job on your peak!

Im leaving 2

happy birthday!!
