    Ahoy matey!

    Welcome to the forums!

    Hi there! Welcome to reborn.

    If you have any sanity, please place it in the incinerator before entering, you wont be needing that here.

    Now, now, sanity is not like a Companion Cube

    ...

    ...

    Quite glad it isn't - Can you imagine having to drag a sanity cube around all day? Well, perhaps not. Nobody here is all that sane...

    Requiem for a Team
    Perish Trapping ~ OU

    Well, this is my first real foray into the competitive scene: That isn't to say I haven't dabbled in it before - I have, but not particularly extensively. Anyway, after little success on the offensive/balanced fronts, I reckoned something stally might be more my speed. Then I discovered Perish Song, and all the strategy involved with it.
    The purpose of this team is really quite simple - Prankster Murkrow leads, and can generally be relied upon to at least get Mean Look and Perish Song setup. From there on, depending on the pokemon, I generally switch out to Gothitelle, and stall with Protect/Rest until Perish Song does its thing. Mismagius is my secondary Perish Singer, in case of a Ko'ed Murkrow. Of course, he doesn't get the Prankster boost, but I haven't found it too difficult to switch in and get a song off. Starmie is my spinner, since Entry Hazards are quite a problem for this team, and Skarmory and Blissey are there for soaking up physical and special attacks respectively. Skarmory is also an entry-hazard setter, and Blissey is there for her freakin' huge wishes.
    Unfortunately, this doesn't always go quite to plan, and with my limited competitive experience, I'm not all that sure where I'm going wrong, thus, some constructive criticism and such would be very helpful indeed!

    Murkrow is the main Perish Singer of my team - It gets priority on its moves with Prankster, and will generally KO one or two pokemon before something takes it out. Eviolite is for some longevity, here. The Calm nature is since the majority of Super Effective types seem to use special moves.

    Also a Perish Singer (and technically a spinblocker with his typing), Mismagius is there to pick up where Murkrow left of if/when it gets KO'ed, thus the similar movepools. Shadow Ball was really too good to pass up, though. Since Prankster can't be abused here, I went for a faster build, and Mismagius will outspeed a decent amount of unboosted things.

    The go-to pokemon for use after a Perish Song, if Murkrow or Mismagius can't be left in, and Mean Look is disabled, I'm using Gothitelle since she's got Shadow Tag, and appeared to be the best pokemon with it, I think. Her main purpose is to stall away for Perish Song, although Psychic is there for some coverage.

    Forretress is a rapid spinner, and an entry-hazard setter. Volt Switch is there to make a getaway, although I'm considering swapping it out for Gyro Ball for some offensive oomph...

    One half of the ever-popular (although I haven't seen it around all that much lately) SkarmBliss combo, Skarmory is for laying spikes, phazing and soaking up physical hits (thus the Rocky Helmet). Brave Bird is there for power, although the recoil damage is rather annoying at times.

    Lastly, the big pink egg, Blissey. She's the one calling the shots where healing is concerned, with Wish and Heal Bell. She's pretty good at absorbing Special attacks, too, which is always useful.

    I suppose an introduction is in order!

    in Welcome Center

    Hello! Nice to meet you all! I'm Grim - Quite new to the competitive battling scene (and, indeed, I'm still a bit crap), but I think I've got the basics down, I think. Practise makes perfect, and all that.

    In any case, I've been around the pokemon forums, and found this one by the fangame (which is awesome, by the way!), so I'm hoping that this one will be better than the others. Or, at least. It'll be one I stick around for a decent length of time :)

    So, I suppose I should say something not so akin to pokemon, no? I like to think of myself as a decent artist - both with sprites and more traditional stuff, although my work pales in comparison to... Well, everyone else's, really. ^-^ Ah well I suppose I'll get there eventually. I'm an aspiring writer, too, and though I do suffer from chronic lack-of-dedication-to-any-one-plot, I don't think my stuff is all that bad. Perhaps I'll even post some of it up some day.

    If the people here prove themselves able to handle the grimdark nature of... Everything I do...

    I'm a bit of a skater too, for interests beyond what I can do on the Internet, and I reckon I'm quite decent at that. Not the best, by far, but decent, in any case. Skating has proved itself more painful than pokemon, anyway.

    Anyway, with all that stuff over with, I guess what I really want to say is: Hi there! Hope I can find a reason to stick around here!
