I have a dozen things to EV and train. Joy. At least I'll have options when I'm done!

Won't you have more when PokeBank releases?
I hope it diversifies online teams.
I've pretty much finished with my own EV training.
Only, mabye 5 or less pokemon I'm planning to breed and train.
Though, I'm finding the pokemon I've trained over the past week aren't fitting together as well as I thought they would.

Is battle Mansion a good place to practice battling?
I would think the 3 Pokemon rule would damage it's value as a practice ground.

Well, Battle Spot is also just 3 vs 3.
Just challenge Friends/Acquaintances/Passerbys/Gaffers, I guess.

So trying to finish off the pre-Pokebank dex so getting the last few Safari Pokemon via GTS (it is easier than finding and adding Safari), putting up Ditto/searching on GTS, Vullaby was traded in the time I got Krabby and Tropius so I thought I'd do the same tactics for Drowzee (put up a Ditto wait for morning, get Drowzee), no dice.
So I'll do the proven tactic of complain to GAF Oh yeah, if anyone has a Drowzee I'd love it if you hit up GTS* search for Ditto and trawl through the HACDSV Ditto 4Xerneas offers (wonder if these are legit this time...legit as in cloned rather than just scams).
*-(I don't care who I get it from so it is more convenient than having to exchange FC and arrange to be online).

Sorry Spiritfox. I'm locked in le wow right now. I'll get to you in 5 mins.
Sure. Battling a random right now.
edit: Feels good destroying someone with a bog-standard team.
edit 2: Stop showing off your shiny Chandelure -_-

I keep forgetting about poison being weak to ground.
Also goddamn is scald a 100% burn on me?

GGs man. Still need to learn the dynamics of my new team. They're all so frail though.
Anyone up for more fights?

I really need to start taking note on who can learn dazzling gleam.
Ahah why did I switch in Chandelure.

Ugh I'm terrible at remembering types this match.
Neo, we're Venomoth bros! So happy to see more users of this awesome poke
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Shame you KO'ed mine on the first turn ;_;
And I really like your team, makes me feel dirty for using a mega and Hydreigon >_<

Sure, GGs man. If you're still available later I'll probably still be on. Or asleep.

Goddamn. Mega pinsir still 2HKO mega lucario after memento?
On the bright side it lets you use fear tactics against the PC
Haha well, half of them didn't get a chance to get used due to Pinsir wrecking me down
Sorry about that.
I did get the chance to use two super effective moves.

GGs neomj. Man nothing on my team can take a hit save for tyranitar. That Avalugg is super bulky.
That Avalugg is super bulky.Am I the only one here who nicknames his Pokemon?
GGs. Those matches were too intense. And Tyranitar was super scary, it shut down a few of my pokemon.
And yeah, Avalugg can take a lot of hits, as long as they're physical. Nothing in the game can OHKO, I think. It took an earthquake from Mega-Tar and spinned the hazard away for my team before dying the next turn.
If I were to give a suggestion, stop boosting your Luccario each turn, you only give me chances to KO you.

I was thinking about starting to nickname my team. It's a reversible thing as they're originally mine, right?

I usually nickname but my current team mostly consist of trades, so... can't name them. Such a dumb rule.
Last match I had no choice. Either hope to survive and OHKO everyone afterwards or go unboosted against dudes that can all OHKO me. But yeah, most of the team needs a boost in order to sweep.
After playing with a somewhat bulky team that could come in a few times without a worry it's definitely a change of pace to having to play with a team that is pretty fragile. Need to think more about what's the best way to ensure that I can get in and setup.

I do try to nickname my Pokemon, but I forget to most of the time and end up being lazy about it.
On that note, I hope Pokemon Bank allows you to change the nickname of Pokemon.
Yeah, you can rename any of your pokemon as many times as you want. It's only traded pokemon that can't be renamed.
Get a Scolipede with the ability Speed Boost, make it hold a Focus Sash and teach it Baton Pass, Sword Dance, Protect and an offensive move that fits your team. It's really hard to stop that.
All my Pokemon are nicknamed. I feels more personal, and it's fun thinking of names for all of them. But it gets tiring, and some of the names obviously reek of me running out of ideas at that time.
Antiwhippy, I think Baton Passer would work well on your team. Scolipede is one of the best phys passer, and most Eeveelutions can pass Wish and Calm Mind.

Yeah, I've tried that on showdown which works to some degree, but I'm still fairly attached to the pokemon on this team. I have a venipede when I need it, but I'll futz around with this team a bit more.
Blaziken works too, though he's more fragile.
I mostly rely on pop culture references, such as nicknaming Hydreigon Ghidorah. Wish I could just give them name like Herbert.
It's actually more Bulky than Scolipede, but it's slower. Only reason not to use it is if you follow Smogon rules.
