Anyone want a Yamask with Toxic Spikes as an egg move? I was breeding them so I have a few left over.

... One for another of my Ralts? >_>

Can you give me a Sun Stone? I really need one and I don't have the patience for this Super Training nonsense.

You're working on breeding Toxic Spikes DOGARS aren't you...

Did you already get the ones in Route 13, Shalour City and Route 16?

[Dr. Wily II]

I guess he needs more, sure, I have spares from secret ST.

Will you mind if the trade happens in about... 4 hours from now?

[Archer]

I do mind because I'll be in bed by then.

[Dr. Wily II]

... Oh right, I forgot. There's no internet connection here... Argh.

... Weekend?

[Akamaru]

So I was breeding a 5IV Vulpix and in one batch I made two: a male and a female. I claimed the female so what I am offering for the first person to trade me is a male, 5 IV Vulpix in HP/Def/Sp.A/Sp.D/SD with its Hidden Ability Drought and a Modest nature. Any wants? I am looking for a Heracross with Moxie, but honestly, I am just giving this one away.

[Dr. Wily II]

... *curses for lack of internet in office*

[Akamaru]

If you want, I can hold it for you, Wily. Cool thing about it is that I bred Heat Wave on it.

[Archer]

Breeding is no excuse to not have a proper battle team ready at all times. The Battle Box exists for a reason.

[Akamaru]

While true, just for you, I had my slot empty and barely had my Vulpix. Ev trained, evolved and taught proper moves, I would have won.

However, that game was so close. That was truly a good, proper battle.

[Archer]

You would have won because this is the very first time I've used all 6 of these Pokemon and also because everytime I see Aegislash and Cloyster on the lineup I stop caring.

[Amatiramisu]

I avoid battling most anyone here, especially Ruri, mostly of fear that my team's gonna get called [parasitic bomb].
Which it mostly is.

[Protoman Blues]

Meh. My team isn't all that great, but I don't care. The whole point is to battle with the Pokemon you love!

[Quickman]

Which is why Runaway, with his hindering Nature, will always be on my team.

...which is currently carrying two slaves, two trainees, and Mewtwo for cleanup duties.

What the [tornado fang] are you talking about I've never called anyone's team [parasitic bomb], they use the same [parasitic bomb] as everyone else which I just get sick of playing. That's the problem. I swear if I see one more [tornado fang]ing Dragonite I'm just going to stop playing altogether. That thing is on 9/10 teams.

Also if anyone's team is [parasitic bomb] it's mine.

[Dr. Wily II]

At least my Aegislash is sorta different?

And thanks Aka, you get a nice Ralts.
Which has destroyed the ecosystem of Route 7.

Alright lemme finish with Fire Emblem real quick and you can stomp me later.

I don't feel like playing anymore.

[Akamaru]

Ruri, there are two types of battlers: casual and competitive battling. Unfortunately, you can't be both. Either accept your losses with grace and fun as a casual or you start preparing teams on paper in order to plan out counters. Don't like Klefki? Hit it with Ground or Fire type moves or prepare moves that Bounce back status affliction like Magic Bounce. Don't like Dragonite? Hit it with a Burn status to reduce his attack and destroy his Multiscale, then finish him off with an Ice, x4 weakness to rock (Use stealth rocks), faster Dragon attack or the new Fairy attacks. Don't like my Cloyster? It is weak with out Shell Smash, so it relies on a Focus Sash. Give it a good thunderbolt since it has weak Special Defenses, then do a Priority attack like Quick attack. Finally, don't like Aegislash? Hit him with the same Burn status, Feint to break through his defense, Sucker Punch is one of his greatest weaknesses, or that Mummy ability was a great idea. Aegislash can't change his stance with a different ability.

That is what it means to become a competitive player, you have to change your team up to cover all your defenses starting on paper planning things out to training them in game.

At least my Aegislash is sorta different?

That is awesome. Got one with the Syncronize ability and is Timid?

[Quickman]

I'm a casual battler.  My goal is to just raise a nice variety of Pokemon, so I can have a variety of teams to play with.  Some members will remain largely static, floating from team to team (Runaway is one of those, with Mewtwo around for cleanup, though he's slated to be booted off soon), while the lineup changes as I raise new members.  I plan to start raising some Water types, once my current lineup is leveled, and I may boot Mewtwo off the team just to make room for a new benchwarmer.

So, if anyone does catch me online and want to battle, my current lineup does have Mewtwo on it.  His moveset is weird.  He's there for crowd control and general cleanup duties while benchwarmers level.  I also have a few slaves.  It's not a competitive team; it's a utilitarian team.  Hence why half the team are slaves.

[Dr. Wily II]

That is awesome. Got one with the Syncronize ability and is Timid?

Modest Synchronize?

[Akamaru]

Eh, sounds good. Any name on your Vulpix that you want?

[Amatiramisu]

I'm trading off my Hawlucha and Lapras if anyone wants 'em. Can't say much about them. Lapras is [parasitic bomb] and Hawlucha has good speed (though not as good as my Talonflame was before I traded him) and... Decent attack I guess.

Either way I'm getting rid of them so if anyone wants 'em for breeding or dexing or something I don't care.
