Dude, those are the best; I collect any I get from WT. The best ones are from different languages.

Curious, but why would you say those are the best? I toss them. But I also only get English versions of them. I think I'd be more inclined to keep if they came from other languages. Tossed I dunno how many Quacklin's and Thumpers.
I'm thinking of breeding some as well
Hoooly shit! I'm so happy with my new team full of rejects from the Gaf Tournament!

Mandibuzz taking a Stone Edge from Mega Garchomp like a boss, Bouffalant stomping that annoying Greninja (Mat-Block and Protect, really?) and the rest of the team making a comeback from what seemed to be lost, oh yeah!

You monster! You can only get one per file! Nah, it's just a tradition of mine through all Pokemon games to keep the in-game trade Pokemon. Ahhh Eshpere.
Lol, this battle should be interesting.

Yeah, ok
But my Mega Scizor should be able to deal with Togekiss right?Dat Flamethrower though...
EDIT: Yeah, that's not going to work LOL
If you are running stone edge/rock slide then i don't see the need for poison jab or iron head.
Unless there is a fairy with levitate? which i don't think is the case.
Yeah, ok
Dat Flamethrower though...
Definitely, bullet punch probably hits like 80% of any non Def EV invested Togekiss. Besides, Togekiss has many things to spare a slot for Flamethrower.
Roost, Air Slash, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Defog, Nasty Plot, Heal Bell, Dazzling Gleam, Aura Sphere.
Not saying it's flamethrower isn't common on offensive Nasty Plot set though. What I think you should be more concern is being T-wave and effectively crippled your Mega pokemon in exchange for a Togekiss.
I also use a Magnezone and Heal Bell Umbreon (well, soon anyway). Hmm, decisions, decisions
Thanks for the advice guys
Maybe in the end, if they were posted while it is still going on, then people would be able to see other people's teams/strategies.
Totally understandable, I should of made it clear that I meant after it had finished

The best nickname that I got is a tie between two mons and they both happened to be from Mewtwo that I got from trying to fill up my box.
The first one was "Anus Licker." I was horrified by that nickname and ended up trading it for a legendary bird on the GTS. I regret doing that and I wish I still had that Mewtwo.
The other one, "Swaglord."
Also, something weird happened to me a few weeks ago. Ever since BW2, I had a physical sweeper Lucario that I nicknamed "Amaru" after 2Pac's middle name. I re-made him in XY of course, with way better IVs and in a Luxury Ball, yadda yadda.
Anyway, my girl plays XY too and she was wonder trading a bunch of uneeded stuff and ended up getting a Lucario. To her surprise, it was nicknamed "Amaru." She thought that I accidentally sent my own Lucario out to trade but the OT is a different one than mine! What are the odds that someone else uses the same nickname, not a common one at all from what I thought, for the same Pokémon...

Slap a Weakness Policy on Dragonite. Leftovers is still pretty good on Dragonite anyway.
Could I ask why you're running Scald on Greninja, though? I mean, the chances of burning is nice, but it's not guaranteed. Greninja doesn't have the bulk to depend on it either. Slowking's a better Scald user. Flame Plate Greninja sounds interesting but I'd just give him a Life Orb...

I'm no items expert, but just saying: you can only do one mega evolution per battle, so just pick one to have, and free up item space.
Own tempo instead of Regenerator? I'd say confusion is the least popular status effect and not something Slowking should be particularly afraid of.
I agree. Weakness Policy Dragonite is freakin' scary to go up against! If not Dragonite, then Aegislash

Definitely will try out Weakness Policy on Dragonite. I like Leftovers because with Multiscale there's a chance he'll be brought back to full health so it activates again. I used Scald because I want to make sure Surf is worth it before slapping it on him. Is Hydro Pump a better bet or is it too inaccurate? Also, for Life Orb, I'm not sure he's bulky enough to withstand the recoil - or is using it counting on him OHKOing his opponent?
Ah, didn't know that! Might take it off Scizor then since he has an escape plan with U-Turn.
Only have that because was having no luck finding the HA one... and now I'm out of King's Rocks.

Thanks, MicH! Maybe I'll throw it on both of them.

I can give you an extra one and I think I still have some HA Slowpoke. The good thing about playing the main story with a mighty Linoone is that you end up with a shit ton of King Rocks, rare candies and other rare stuff.
I'm not good and have no experience, but...
You could consider using Expert's Belt on Greninja if you don't want to give up the Life Orb on Nidoking. You could try giving one of your boosters (Dragonite or Aegislash) a Lum Berry. There are also the choice items, which can be pretty useful. Choice Band Scizor would probably be scary.

That would be absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much! Are the IVs decent? What's your IGN again? I think we might already be friends. Are you available now?
Thanks, man! Will try this out. I can easily get another Life Orb though... unless there's a restriction where you can only use one that I don't know about?

Yeah, Leftovers is still pretty good on Dragonite. Leftovers is also good on Aegislash.
But, as far as Scald vs. Surf goes, Greninja's job is to sweep as fast as possible, it doesn't need to deal out status moves -- that role can be done by other members of your team more efficiently.
Hydro Pump is the best Water STAB obviously but yeah, there is a chance that you will miss. I would pick between Surf and Hydro Pump. I went with the latter. Greninja's not bulky at all, so that Life Orb boost may hurt him but the added power boost is welcome.
Nah, I just assumed you were using item restrictions since you only had one of each item lol. You could always give your Aegislash a Leftovers too if you aren't worried about item restrictions.

Are item restrictions common in competitive play? I only had one leftovers, is there an easy way to get another?
Thanks so much for all the help everyone! Truly grateful.
I've got you a 31/x/x/31/31/0 regenerator female, except for the defense it's perfect for a Trick Room team. I'm online now, my IGN is Alv.
Well there is this thing called the item clause which is in effect during Rating Battles on Battle Spot and competitive play. You can only have one of any item on a Pokemon in your team at a time.
You can only use one Mega Evolution at a time during a battle, so you should choose which one is more useful for your team and stick other items onto the Pokemon with mega stones you won't use.

UGH, I just royally f'd up. Thank so much Tiamant... but I needed Slowpoke to learn Slack Off at 36 before evolving and I couldn't stop her from evolving
DammmmmitUGH, I just royally f'd up. Thank so much Tiamant... but I needed Slowpoke to learn Slack Off at 36 before evolving and I couldn't stop her from evolving
This is why pre-evolution only moves are dumb. :|

Darn, my bad, I should've guessed an item evolution couldn't be stopped :/
I can give you another rock attached to a different poke, at least now you have solid ground to breed.
Edit: HAHAHAHA we accidentally cloned that Slowpoke, King's Rock and all! I'll send you the same Slowpoke and another poke with the stone.

I am a monster. The field around the Pokemon Day care has so many wild Pokemon. Rejects from WT, rejects from my own breeding program. It's like a zoo out there.
I tend to keep the ones I trade for in game though. However, one is enough. I hate folks wanting to send me theirs too, haha.
I tossed Thumper tonight because he was the joke of the night on me.Sadly got maybe two nicknamed Pokemon after trading those two boxes and neither were interesting or worth noting. Actually, outside of that Bidoof, I haven't gotten any funny or interestingly named Pokemon. Though one of the Mewtwo's I traded for someone decided to get "creative" and named it M2. I keep him around. I like to pretend he's a spy.

Thanks, man!
EDIT: Holy CRAP really!? It's a MIRACLE!
EDIT 2: Sorry for all the Charmanders, haha
lmao that's amazing.
My screen was stuck at "waiting for your partner response" so I said fuck it and switched off the LAN interruptor, and voilá, cloned Slowpoke!
That Stunky has egg moves,good nature, IV's and Ability, try it if you want to discover a hidden gem!
