Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire |OT| Hoenn Finally Confirmed
- Thread starter ColtraineGF
- Start date
I have decided I want to make a horror/evil themed Pokemon team. It will be headed by my Weezing (who is doing great by the way, level 62!) and will be followed by Muk and Garbodor. I like them because they represent filth and disgust, but it's all I have so far, so I'm looking for recommendations! I have been looking through the list of Pokemon on bulbapedia but haven't found anything yet and was hoping you guys could help me!
So, I'm looking for 3 more members, they don't have to be poison but I'd like something evil/creepy looking and somewhat powerful. Maybe some ghosts? And then when I'm done, and they are all fully trained, I'll be a gym leader for you guys!
Oh, and not Gengar, he's too popular lol

There was a Global Link competition recently with a similar theme.

If you want ideas you can check out the top 12 Pokemon there. If you click on one of them you can see what Pokemon were commonly paired with them for even more ideas.
Wow, this is perfect, thank you

Haha, it works. I'm in the US, but this'll save me a trip to McDonald's I didn't really want to take.

Finally hatched a shiny Fletchling! I've never used a Talonflame, so I hope I like it.
UTC, yeah
I went to a McDonald's yesterday and they didn't even have wifi :|
Well, if they did I couldn't pick it up on my 3DS. It's just called McDonald's Free WiFi right? Couldn't find it on my phone either now that I remember.

That looks like the opposite of exciting =/
I hope VGC2017 goes back to normal. Heck, they should restrict the use of the currently legal legendaries instead of adding even more broken ones.
Edit: Not that it matters, but why is Deoxys banned? It's no longer an event only pokemon this generation.
It's still a Mythical Pokémon.
Also why should they restrict the use of the legal Legendaries?

Slightly disappointed that Mythicals are still banned, but I guess they are too rare for a level playing field.
Next year I might just participate with Shiny Xerneas and Rayquaza. If I'm not too busy farming the VGC event Pokemon that is : P

People complain that VGC15 meta wasn't varied enough because of the genies. Personally, I didn't care much for them but allowing Mega Rayquaza, and Groudon is going to make an even less varied meta.
I thought Mythical was what they called event only pokemon which Deoxys isn't anymore =/
I can't see a lot of positives to using Mega Rayquaza. Too many drawbacks.
You will never be allowed to use promotional Pokemon. Just because you can access them doesn't mean they were built to be used in stuff like this.
Anyway I got into VGC with 2010 so GS Cup is something I'm somewhat excited for. Now I need to find me a Groudon and Xerneas or brainstorm how to make Lugia work.

I'm definitely curious about VGC 2016, but it's probably going to be crap. One thing that pisses me off about legends is that it is really hard to get legit competitive ones. I don't care if anyone hacked its rotom because i can just breed one in like 20 minutes, but i will have to soft reset for days if want a decent lugia.
So you can't use soul dew but you can use primal pokemons? holy crap, who makes these rules?

Congrats!
Nah, any Pokemon below Level 50 is increased to Level 50.
But of course if you don't EV train or give them good moves or evolve them, you'll have a tough time winning : P

Are you finished with the game?

I just grabbed 6 qualified Pokemon from my Boxes. Not planning on winning.
Yep, unless they add more to it
Soul Dew is an item for Latios and Latias which are not restricted Pokemon. The orbs are for Groudon and Kyogre that are restricted Pokemon.

Oh I'm too late then.
Well, you don't have to win : P
I'm just gonna forfeit on all my teams...
Haven't been in here because work/Pokémon Picross have taken over my life, but guys. GUYS. I finally got my first shiny. 5IV (no speed, but hey) Mudkip I've named Budou. As a result I have, like, 20 boxes of 5IV, mostly Adamant Mudkips if anybody wants to trade stuff. =) Also have no idea what Pokémon I next wanna try to get a shiny for.

I just spent an hour fiddling with my shitty router to be able to get Hoopa. If handheld goes the way of the dinosaur, it's going to be 100% NIntendo's blame and no one else's. I hate this company.
Ironically a few friends who have gotten out of competitive battling had the opposite reaction and are back because of the new ruleset and fond memories of 2010. Can't please 'em all.
If Gen 7 is out by 2017, then the new ruleset will likely be a Regional Dex like 2014/2011. If it's Z, then I expect National Dex similar to 2015/2013/2012/2009/2008.
I'll still watch the tournaments, but I'm not a big fan of battling using box legendaries. It also doesn't help that I have to restart my games (which I'm certainly not doing) to get my hand on most of them since I already caught them with crappy IVs just for Dex purposes.
Yeah, I think the annoyance of obtaining the Pokemon is a barrier that really does suck. Takes what is already one of the biggest issues with competitive Pokemon and makes it worse. I have a lot of nostalgia for this ruleset as it's what got me into the official circuit back in 2010 though so I'm kinda excited. Need to find some time to teambuild and decide if I want to go with the standard Groudon / Xerneas / Kangaskhan setup that'll be everywhere, something anti-Groudon/Xerneas, or maybe the Trick Room option with Dialga+Groudon or Kyogre...
