@HUEnd Team looks good for the most part, in my opinion. I'd go with Wild Charge on Eelektross, Shadow Ball on Jellicent, Superpower on Krookodile, Brave Bird on Skarmory and Knock Off over the the slashed out options on Gallade personally. Psyshock would be preferrable on Sylveon too. The team itself is fine, pretty damn good even. @Filthy Casual I'd suggest investing in Wide Guard over Rock Slide on Swampert, there's a large amount of multis and that would be preferrable on your team rather than rock slide. You should probably go for Close Combat or Earthquake > X-Scissor as Return provides all the stab Pinsir needs and it needs the steel breaking power of CC/EQ. Further more the use of Mega Pinsir almost necessitates hazard removal in some form. As Mega Pinsir is 4x rocks weak, I'd invest in a rapid spinner or a mon with Defog, which would be best over Noivern here. Aside from that it's mostly fine. Maybe change Power Up Punch and Perish Song but that's up to you. @Wolfox It's already looking better than the first draft. A few suggestions: Heat Wave > Lava Plume on Torkoal. More power and it doesn't hit your own Pokemon in multis. Roost/Recover > Ice Beam on Latias. Having a hazard remover on a sun team that's able to sustain itself is always good. Flare Blitz > Fire Punch on Darmanitan. It isn't even a contest, Darmanitan's claim to fame is it's ridiculously strong flare blitz, fire punch has such a power drop off it's not even worth it. Perhaps a more offensive Pokemon that doesn't necessarily abuse the sun over Trevenant? Ground, Rock or Fairy types come to mind here. @Guzam Pursuitless Ttar best trapper yeah?

Having trouble finding inspiration for a team? Can't find the right team members to round your team? Not sure your team is ready for the league? Maybe you just wanna show off? Leave your ideas here, and help each other be as prepared as possible for the long road ahead. Good luck!

Rumours of our demise were slightly exaggerated. It's Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, home to our favourite(at least i hope so ;~;) user hosted event, the Redemption League! What is it you might ask? Well it's in the name my good friend, a user run league in tribute of the now ancient Reborn League. I'll say it once again, welcome to the Red Dead Redemption League's third and likely last season. Back again once again, let’s cut right to the chase. There have been a few rule changes from S2 but that’ll be further down, for now let’s get the little stuff outta the way first: The League will start up on October 13th 2017. The League will run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It will run during 11AM EST until 2PM EST. All battles will take place on Reborn’s Showdown server in the Redemption League channel. You get to choose 6 Pokemon and their movesets at the start. You will be locked into these Pokemon and sets for your challenge. Restarts will let you change your team at the cost of starting over from scratch. Leaders Now that the essentials are outta the way, we can move on to bans and team building rules. These are the restrictions that’ll be in place during your league challenge. Bans and Battles Some new legendary Pokemon are available for both challengers and leaders alike at all levels. However, each team is only permitted a maximum of 2 of these Pokemon: Specific bans: Speed Boost Blaziken, Battle Bond and Protean Greninja Previously "unavailable" content that can be transferred from 6gen, and 7gen unreleased content will be permitted. Additionally, the type gems will also be allowed. The following battle clauses will be in effect for Gym Leader/Champion battles: Freeze Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Evasion Clause, Swagger Clause, Baton Pass Clause. To clarify these rules and clauses: Freeze Clause - Only 1 Pokémon per team can be Frozen. Sleep Clause - Only one Pokémon can be asleep per team, excluding when the move Rest is used. Species Clause - You are only allowed to have one Pokémon of the same species in your team. Evasion Clause - Double Team, Minimize, and Moody are banned. Swagger Clause - The move Swagger may not be used. Baton Pass Clause - Speed and another stat may not be passed on with the move Baton Pass Furthermore, upon starting and clearing certain brackets, you get move tokens which will allow you to change a single move on one of your Pokemon. These will be obtained upon registration, reaching Bracket 3, and upon reaching the Champion. Finally, there's the leaders themselves of course. Nick - Type: Electric Current Badge Haley - Type: Ice Tundra Badge Mira - Type: Ghost Remnant Badge That'll be all the leaders you'll be facing in Bracket 1. More to come in the next couple of weeks of course! Think you can make it to Champion with these rules? Come on and try! Go sign up over on the sign up thread coming soon!

The reasoning's off here. She dislikes it being "Ash" specific and thinks it wouldn't make sense in Reborn. Gyarados on the other hand still not being available is indeed honestly more of a meme now than anything else. It's dominance as the undisputed best Pokemon back when it was available at the start of the game is honestly still undisputed even if it'd be available around Adrienn. It has the bulk, the moveset, the typing, the abilities to dominate pretty much whatever it wants. It'd be funny if nothing else if it was literally the last non legendary available for ironic purposes, from first all the way to last.

Barring typos, this is honestly an amazingly well written article capturing the charm of the franchise just right and showing ways it can be used pretty easily by the average person. I'd love to see more of these regarding game design in general, especially knowing you've got quite an extensive knowledge regarding the subjects. Good show. 445.

Don't post much in intro threads these days but man your avi is awesome. Welcome, and have fun my man.

The destroyer of worlds himself, lord Jumpluff is here. Seriously, this guy turned Rejuvenation's difficulty curve into a joke tbh. He was godly. Fast Sleep Powder and Leech Seed alongside Acrobatics for semi decent damage output allowed it to cheese basically anything it wanted to. Quickly turned into one of my all time favorites.

I don't really post crazy much anymore on the forums. But this deserves a post honestly. I've been here for over 3 years now. Crazy to think about, honestly. I've changed a lot in those years, so has Reborn. One thing that hasn't changed however was how much of a pleasant presence you've been around here. You've been an absolute delight to be around, to meme with, to take part in the rare debate with or talk seriously to. You're probably the single most approachable user around here. Probably some of the most pleasant memories and enjoyable experiences I have here have been due to you. Nothing but gratitude for that. But as you've said, you need to take a step back from Reborn. No one can blame you for that, honestly you need to do so more than anything, especially with you not enjoying coming here all that much or at all anymore. Take better care of yourself, go do the things you've done here so long in real life, make new friends, all that good stuff. Focus on what's important. Reborn should be an afterthought. It's not like you can run from me anyways. - That fucking guy that stole your thunder Azery.

Happy birthday man, hope it's going well!

Look at Audino, now look at Alolan Marowak. Both were trash, both got forms. Guess which one's top tier OU?

The term 'veteran' is used in the context of this thread for people that have been around in the community upwards of around a year give or take. Purple's only been around for like 4 months so it wouldn't be apt to call him that.

I wake up feeling good. Then I see stuff like this and I feel bad. Then I In all seriousness, thanks everyone. Looking forward to working with the auth team to bring y'all fun times and other things i guess idk lol.

What version of the game are you on? This might have gotten patched out in v9 patch 10~.

Happy Birthday Ame, have a good time and hope you have a good year ahead of you.

Happy birthday Jeri, hope you have a great time.
