HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I can't stop laughing!

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there. a minority of the people who have commented on this thread are in favor of the idea of banning evasion. No matter your argument, Majority wins. if that should change than the auth would have no choice but to review your argument and make an informed decision As for an argument against it now, I think the banning of evasion would lead to the banning of many other things, thus ceating a generic tier system that Reborn strives so hard not to have. if you were to ban evasion, of course the next thing to be changed is moody becoming banned as well. since certain abilities are being banned now, there's no doubt in my mind that abilities like Contrary and Speed Boost would soon be banned. following that would be abilities like swift swim and sand rush being banned when being used with their perspective weathers. Its a vicious cycle, and i think that if we were to start banning things, that as stated by kamina above are "uncommon", it wouldn't be hard for us to eventualy be okay with banning anything that seems to difficult to prepare for. This is why there is no perfect pokemon team, because there is always going to be some strategy that you can't prepare for on any team. if you start taking away things that aren't able to be countered viabley, than whats the point of playing. is It really fun to win every single time, or is the fun in that every single match has a possibility of being won or lost?

thanks Slant, I really like the idea of another passer, and I'll probably end up adding that jirachi set. but, the reason I have these three other pokemon is, is that I dont want to have to rely on one strategy to win a battle.

Hey what's up everyone. Here is another team I've made with a couple of my own sets, as well as a strategy I've never seen used before. The team's main strategy is for Gorbyss to pass a shell smash to Dragonite. I'll go more in depth when i talk about each individual Pokemon. Please let me know what you think of the team, as well any advice you might have for it. Also, as a side note, Please don't comment on this RMT if you have nothing useful to say. comments like "That team is unoriginal" or "Kingdra is sooooo OP." Please just don't. Now, my rant is finished and lets get to the team. First Look Team (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 140 Def / 116 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Scald - Toxic - Perish Song - Protect Okay, my Politoed is pretty basic, just a simple set up weather and tank set. Got it off of the Pokedex here actually. Scald is for damage, Toxic for Toxic stalling, Perish Song to stop baton pass and set ups, and Protect to recover with leftovers and to let toxic get a turn to hurt the opposing Pokemon. (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Shell Smash - Baton Pass - Surf - Ice Beam This is one of the two key members to this team. Gorebyss, Aside from being able to sweep independently half the time, can baton pass to whichever Pokemon i chose to sweep the rest of the match with. I usually shell smash to Dragonite, which you will see why in a few moments. Ice beam and Surf are two great moves for just about anything except ice and water types. (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Multiscale EVs: 108 Atk / 148 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Hurricane - Thunder - Outrage - Earthquake This Dragonite set was one of my own creation, a bit gimmicky, but it definitely works. The whole problem with my battling lately was that i could not beat most stall teams, even with my own stall teams. this Dragonite and Gorebyss combo is the best way to break a stall team that I've ever used. i thought Dragonite would be a good Pokemon to baton pass too because of multiscale. with multiscale, Dragonite can 99% of the time tank any hit coming at him while being passed too. the only time this wouldn't work is when someone uses an ice type move on Gorbeyss on his baton pass turn, but who would use an ice type on a water type. it's only actually happened once out of 150 battles. Now, for the reason this Dragonite is great at stall breaking is that it can viably use sp attack and attacking moves at once with the current ev spread and shell smash. Hurricane and Thunder are the two main moves i stick too since they both have 100% accuracy in rain. Thunder can take out Skarmory and Jellicent. Hurricane can take out Quagsire and Gastradon, as well as most other regular Pokemon Earthquake is useful for hitting Heatran and kind of useful for kind of wearing down Ferrothorn. Outrage is useful for stab against other dragons, as well as hitting Chansey or Blissey hard that thought they could come in and tank your thunders and Hurricanes. Another Reason why I thought Dragonite is awesome, is because he can still take down one or two Pokemon by himself. he may have an incredibly low speed, but his typing and multiscale let him tank hits and get some punches before he goes down. (F) @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 80 HP / 176 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Power Whip - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Leech Seed Ferrothorn is essential on any rain team, thanks to one of his two weaknesses being covered by the rain. Stealth Rock and Spikes to break sashes, which i think is a completely necessary thing to do if you want to sweep a team. Power whip to hit water and ground Pokemon hard like Quagsire and Gastradon. leech seed to recover some hp since i opted for rocky helmet over leftovers. (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunder - Grass Knot - Hidden Power [ice] - Volt Switch Thundurus T is here to abuse Thunder's accuracy in Rain, and he hits hard with life orb. Volt switch for obvious reasons, Hidden power ice to hit things like Zapdos and other Thundurus who can just soak up my electric attacks. Grass knot to take care of Quagsire and Gastradon as well as other ground Pokemon that can resist electric type attacks. (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Swift Swim EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Substitute - Dragon Dance - Waterfall - Outrage Classic Kingdra Set. I use him to just mostly clean up late game like any other Kingdra. I rarely ever use him though, because i end up 6-0 or 5-0 teams. Subsititute is to block status and tank hits with his typing. Dragon dance to boost stats. Waterfall and Outrage and both powerful moves for stab and the rain boost on waterfall. pretty much a perfect rain pokemon. Well there is the team, Leave your comments below and thanks for reading!

i feel like those aren't the best Miyazaki movies at all... Tales From Earthsea and Ponyo need to be on that list instead...

you guys can post some too if you want

pocky explain your feels toward me! and be honest!

hai, if your still doing this im game

photobomed by TV lmao plenty more where that came from too. found a whole website full of tv photobombs

hey Erick, Im so glad your back. I really missed you buddy!

Yea for Allan! and thanks Phoneix, would you be interested?

lol nobody knows. i answer this question at least once a week to the same people when the clan is alive

Trained to Domintate. i made up the name when i was obssesed with battling and making a name for myself. but i still like the ring to the name, i think it sounds good so i decided to keep it. and again I just don't want random people joining, I'd prefer to just make it my freinds on the server and I. but if we get to know each other one day i dont see it being much of an issue

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if you guys noticed but i have a clan called TTD, It has been on and off for about a year and half now. I disband it sometimes if i feel like i got ahead of myself and chose members that i shouldn't have. This time tho, I plan on staying for a while. This time around, the clan will be focused more on my friends on the server as oppose to getting a reputation for having good battlers. I ask that you don't ask to join, unless you know me well, because I don't want a million people joining. Well, that's all there really is to tell. Current Members Conor Summer Pocky Allan
