Ironbound

Well, I'm only interested as a spectator these days; I stopped playing Pokemon games after BW; and since I do not own a 3DS and completely skipped gen6, I doubt I'll spring now on another deviation. I'm only interested in the competitive aspect, so I'll wait to see what kind of broken stuff GF flings at us this time around. *mutters angrily about Volcanion*

Welcome to Reborn, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here! And yes, if you've met Kam and Ody, or if you're interested in the competitive side of things, I'll be more than happy to see you around the Showdown Server sometime!

Hello and welcome to Reborn, MM! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. I see that Michael has been kind enough to reference me already; look no further if you're on the pun side of life! Be sure to check out the Showdown server as well to let us know you better. See you around!

I see Dhan. He should be asleep. So should I. Dhan?

By now you'll have access to better water types than simipour js. That thing is actually bad after the first few laps. Try Crawdaunt; it gets Adaptability, which makes it instantly strong, and learns it's best moves, like Crabhammer, Swords Dance and Knock Off, naturally by level up. Also Magnezone is much, much, much better than klinklang. Especially since Magnezone has a hugely better special attack.

Steel is always badass. They've done it justice with this one.

It's true. Their tongues can be almost twice as long as their body, depending on the species, and rest coiled inside a specially shaped skull, an extension of the nostril gauges. This tonge is barbed at the tip, and is flicked out like a harpoon to impale the grubs and worms that burrow under the wood that they drill into with their chisel-like beaks. It's quite ingenious, actually. More proof of nature's wonders.

Mh, maybe, but it has chlorophyll. It can essentially achieve 480 speed under Sun. Not bad, what? Anyways, I think Sealing needs an evolution. Call it Marinarch (Marine+Monarch. It'll be far from kingly, but what's in a name? That which we call a feesh will be just as dumb by any other...) MARINARCH Type: Water Abilities: Swift Swim / Lightning Rod / Water Veil (unchanged) HP: 80 --> 100 Atk: 92 --> 117 Def: 65 --> 85 SpAtk: 65 Spdef: 80 Speed: 68 --> 88 Poor old seaking is a horrible, dumb looking Pokemon. It might as well have been called Seaslave, and been more honest on its Resumé. But all that changes with an evolution that can help it hope to be a legitimate threat. The evolution, Marinarch, gets a good buff to its HP, Speed and Defense, while improving its decent Attack stat to current (heh) levels. Now, although its Special Attack remains too poor to utilise Lightning Rod offensively, it is still excellent defensively to counter Electric types and foil the BoltBeam combination popular in Balance today. It even has Drill Run to hit Electric types for a hefty chunk, along with a surprisingly good physical movepool including Waterfall, Knock Off and Megahorn (which also lets it strike at Grass types.) If it wishes to take a more offensive role, it now has the speed to abuse Swift Swim well; at abase of 88, it rivals Sand Rush Excadrill and both outpaces and out-powers (at least on the physical side) Kingdra in the Rain! Although it lacks Dragon Dance or Swords Dance, it can still make some use of its raw stats to good effect in UU, (though it is still beaten by Kabutops, which gets SD and Stone Edge, and Seismitoad, which is fatter and has a better typing, and Mega Swampert, which is just better in every way save for its inability to hold an item.)

Shoo! Spine?

Why not give it a shot, spine? Spine?

Look around the forums and server chat, spine. Spine?

Yes. Go sign up, dhan. Dhan?

Beam me up, Scotty. Forum Name: Viridescent Server: +Viridescent Year joined: 2015 Favorite type: STEEL (also water but Steel master race anyway) Least favorite type: Ice (just no), Bug and Electric (much as Magnezone and Scizor are awesome, they're the exceptions. Still, I can work with them. But not Ice.) PokeNations 1: unfortunately no Usually available: 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM IST, sometimes around 8:00 AM IST, but not often enough to expect me at that hour.

Very well. Aside from whatever is the decided reward(s), there has to be a prize option to make a committee member do a thing that the victor decides, though. I'll just prepare my full version of the Magnezone Anthem, just in case.

Not bad. I admit even I had forgotten about that thing's existence, so forgettable a Mon it is. Perhaps you'd give it Earth Power to use its ground typing with; If a stupid sunflower can get it, I don't see why other dumb plants can't. Speaking of stupid sunflowers... Sunflora needs an evolution. Call it Solaflare. SOLAFLARE Type: Grass/Fire Abilities: Solar Power / Chlorophyll / Leaf Guard (replaces Early Bird) HP: 75 --> 90 Atk: 75 Def: 55 --> 85 SpAtk: 105 --> 125 SpDef: 85 --> 95 Speed: 30 --> 60 Poor old Sunfloras is horrible because, despite getting unique moves like Earth Power and Encore, it has a mediocre typing, pathetic defenses and is slower than my Grandma to boot; rich irony that it gets Chlorophyll, for it is still too slow to use it. Solaflare fixes things by improving its defenses to an acceptable level, doubling its speed so that,even though it is still slow by any standards, it can actually become quite fast under Sun, and giving it a nice little SpAtk boost to help it grow to a respectable 530 BST. The more important feature is to give it a Fire type as well, making it a unique Grass/Fire type that can have a niche as a Sun Sweeper and reasonably bulky Grass type. It can get a few moves like Flame Burst, Weather Ball and Heat Wave to use its Fire type with (not Flamethrower or Fire Blast, though. It's absurd to think of a flower being able to directly spew flames from an orifice, and we don't want to be overly kind to this stupid plant that no one cares about.) It still won't see the light of OU (pun totally intended) but maybe it can shine in RU or maybe UU if the weather is fair (haha.)

Sure it's not due at least in part to his tastes in music? He hasn't got that iPod 4G full of "..." for no reason, after all!

Riveting. You'll likely have a -vial- time with Route 2's puzzle, I'm warning you. Better watch your step! On an aside, be prepared for more horrors, even though I know you'll already have braced yourself.

I like to mess with your points. Prove me wrong! Micky?

You show up even here? Well, damn, I thought I could have at least one [scree-less place to haunt. I still see you, Zumi.

More proof. I see you, Micky.

I'm fed to the back teeth with banks and minor bureaucrats who stall worse than a Mega Sableye. Dhan, reveal yourself.
