Can't wait for Year of Magikarp. Looking forward to Magikarp Smash Bros.
What are the mods' stance on these threads? Sounds a bit too risky unfortunately...

Thank You UltimateIke!
You're such a pal!
If anybody does make it a thread, they deserve to be the legend of PokeGAF forever.

Dude, he knows the rarest move, Tackle! He can fuck sum shit up with that.
Ok.
Since you're clearly running a Dual Screen team your prime goal is to load your team up with a ton of powerful sweepers and not worry about playing defense. Your Mandibuzz sticks out like a sore thumb because it kills your momentum (by eating up Dual Screen turns). Trust me, you shouldn't worry about trying to counter or check anything. Might I suggest using Swords Dance Samurott in its place. It's a ludicrously powerful attacker and it lures out the Pokemon that counter / check Crawdaunt (Tangrowth).
Samurott @ Life Orb
EVs: 4hp / 252 Atk / 252 spe
Jolly
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Megahorn
- Aqua Jet
Sandslash also strikes me as a suboptimal choice. It's not a good sweeper in RU, and your team definitely doesn't need Rapid Spinning. You should use Double Dance Rhydon in it's place. It's a monster when screens are up, your opponents will have a field day trying to kill it.
Rhydon @ Eviolite
Trait: Doesn't matter (lol)
EVs: 4hp / 252 Atk / 252 spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature (do you want to outspeed Cincinno after a Rock Polish?)
- Swords Dance
- Rock Polish
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
I'd also consider using Giga Drain over Petal Dance on Liligant (I've always been fond of its healing ability, and it doesn't lock you in) and running Timid on Magneton because it outspeeds Adamant Kabutops (who's kind of a big deal) and an assortment of neutral base 80s/70s.
I think with the suggested changes you could absolutely play without this team any problems (since it's Dual Screens. Uxie >>> Screens >>> Sweep. If you fail step 1 you'll probably lose, so keep that in mind)
Good luck!
Did they really not announce the Clefairy line as Fairy type? Like really?

Clefairy's not a fairy type because in Gen VII Game Freak are going to introduce an Alien Type.
Off to a great start.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Speaking of rumors, Hiro's apparently saying there's gonna be another Eeveelution soon and Pikachu's becoming Electric/Fairy. 0.o
I honestly wouldn't be surprised, a lot of people have been speculating that last bit.

Finally, the anime can be justified when Pikachu took out that Dragonite.

Mess with their Holy Mascot? Blasphemy
...Light Ball Hidden Power Ice?

Lol, there's no way that's happening.

However, it might perhaps explain all the crazy things Ash and Pikachu did in the entire anime - assisted by fairies.

Not a god damned chance.
If there was another Eeveelution, it would have already been revealed and showed for next month's Pikachu short.
As for Pikachu changing type... pffffHAHAHAHAHAH

Yes. The 3DS acts the same as a DS/DSi while running DS software.
omg time to hunt those games and start an epic adventure with my gf :b
fixed that for you.

Hehe! Remember to share the stories of you playing with your girlfriend with us sometime here. HGSS are fine games - you should be able to have lots of fun.
Sure, too bad they are expensive as crock now :/

There's something funny about prices of Nintendo games. They seem to keep selling at high prices.
I sure want to luck out on older, used games.... but if only I could find what I wanted.
He's already in the fairy egg group. I wouldn't have thought they'd mess with Pikachu though.

I don't see anything wrong with the name Talonflame
Creepy Wario made me laugh
ColtraineGF

Well, it could be argued that it's one of the more obvious English names so far - looking at what we have:
Chespin
Fennekin
Froakie
Xerneas
Yveltal
Sylveon
Fletchling
Helioptile
Gogoat
Pancham
Noivern
Skrelp
Clauncher
Litleo
Furabébé
Scatterbug
Spewpa
Vivillon
Compared to those, Talonflame is almost too straightforward and on the nose.

Yeah but still, it sounds sooo... you know, like those awesome pseudo-viking names like Rockmuncher or Ironballs
