Wow, I thought it was just for the stance change. It can protect too? Damn, I want an Aegislash now.
If it blocks a physical type move, I believe it also lowers the attackers attack stat by two stages.

Yea that was a close match. haha to bad most of my pokemon are weak against one type. Nice battle
Goodluck on you all :D
Sorry, Wolf wood, but I can't remember who's playing in what tournament. I don't want you or me to accidentally reveal the wrong team and then run into problems. Does anyone have lists? I don't see them in the first post. Sorry.

its in the first post of this thread. I'm in the normal 6 v 6 tournament.
All right I am here just give me a couple minutes to finish some other things first
Also does anyone know Luffsopp's friend code its not in the google doc
Ah, I couldn't tell where the break was. Sorry.
CCC, I'm going to take a quick break between our fights. Shjouldnt be more than 5 or 10 minutes. I just gotta do something real quick.
The only ones I have yet to fight are hekti, loneassassin, kubihige, devil G and the thunderbolt kid. (I assume anr is out?)
Good night; See you tomorrow.

Hey man, I added you to my FC, can I get an add back so we can throwdown.

gg xD
I was scared someone may have had priority
"Hey, I'm doing alright, this is a pretty even battle "
Aegislash comes in
" :I "
GG rei, I was worried that metagross was going to choke me loll
Yeah, GG. It was almost enough. I need to trust my gut more :(
ugh, I got owned by the both of you. Good going.
I think I still need loneassassin to add me.
And since it seems I've battled everyone that's on, I'll get around to those videos…
So, whille I'm not a fan of tier lists… if I'm ever going to participate in this tourney... is everyone just going to be using overused/ubers?
I just got completely smoked by someone using a full tilt team while I was playing casual and... I don't think I have it in me to build a team of ubers. I gotta be a whole bunch of quirky middle tier things.

I've seen one guy use a leavanny. Take that as you will. ALso legends are banned entirely

Want to battle? Normal first, then x/y

Is the Robby trying to battle me Loneassassin? I have you down as Robert, so I'm a bit confused
Sure. Just give me a minute after the normal match.
Legends go without saying, but are you (we?) considering banning ubers/what smogon will eventually get around to declaring uber as of gen VI? In these AP tourneys, I mean?
I don't think it would make a huge difference at the level we're playing at, but it might go towards making things a bit more balanced.

Probably me. I'm using a goof around team right playing around with Zoroarc for the first time. Completely untrained found in the wild zoroarc, but I wanted to try its ability.

It's probably a consideration to make. I'm not in either of these tournies but… after casually for fun playing someone else and being destroyed 0-6 by one monster.... there probably does need to be a dividing line.
Maybe not the 7 or 8 tiers smogon has... but overused/uber at least probably should be a separate thing.
I've fought a couple other people who have up what I assume are their tourney teams and done better... (and since my current group is half completely random untrained stuff with random evs, or none at all, I don't feel at all bad about losing) but hitting an uber wall to be utterly stomped was just... not fun.
I would vote to disallow any eventual ubers.
Especially if Mega Gengar is one :ninja:
Oh, we definitely should follow tiers later on, otherwise it just gets silly. I hate the idea of everyone having to run stuff like excadril just to remain competitive. In the special one alone every team had aegislash, and while I'm ok being unprepared and getting smoked I hope for more competitive variety in the future.
Then again I just use stuff that I find cute so maybe I really don't have a say in this.
Aegislash in the X and Y tourney is kind of unfortunate. Due to him being probably the easiest obviously strong Pokemon to use in a rather small pool. Plus he's got a "cool" design and is super useful in game. He does have his counters, but they're not very prevalent in 6th gen either.
In the special one alone every team had aegislash
I think that's mostly because the pool of even remotely usable gen IV stuff is just so damn small… Aegislash is bound to emerge as a frequent face when people are forced to pick from a total of, what, 32 fully evolved mons + Doublade? A bunch of which are shitty anyway?
Shouldn't be as much of a problem when we're not restricted to a single gen, but I agree with your point overall. Excadrill can go to hell.
Haha, yea, I did realize some of the best counters to sixth gen threats were not in sixth gen.
On that topic though, would we just do different tiers each month? I feel like all tiers have their charm. Except perhaps little cup but that'd be fun for different reasons.

Hey you've just beaten mine lol
So I feel like a total scumbag after realizing my team has a BST total of 3520, or an average of 586. I'm such a tier whore. What's everyone else's?
I'll definitely think about banning any non legendary ubers, but I'm not so sure about banning the rest of OU. At least not from normal tournaments. Special tournaments will probably make tiering irrelevant a lot of the time as well
Well yeah. Banning all of OU would be to ban so much of what is good and interesting. Specialty RU/NU matches could be fun though.

Jebus.
My XY team: 497 average
General team: 500 average
They're a lot closer than I thought they'd be, although XY not having perfect IVs is definitely a noticeable weakness.
Hey you've just beaten mine lol
Both you and someone else could have ended up sweeping me with literally 1 gamble. It would have been pretty risky for you, but believe me, I was freaking scared x) I think most battles come down to something like.
Ouch, that ended up being quite the sweep.
(And the worst thing is I could have prevented it if I had just mega'd)
@ Hekti ready for a battle?
Great first day of battles. I'm having a lot of fun this was an awesome idea. Thanks, Aaron!
