You would've lost had I had my 3ds. I made a very niche change in my set up tgat would've broke the dicks off all your pokemon. :V

Did you give Kangaskhan Shadow Claw?

Don't matter. Kangaskhan's the only threat on your team, son.

Well, the 3ds version of Dream World isn't actually up yet. Global link is up, but there's not much to do on it, save for using Pokemiles to buy items.

I enjoy raising pokemon in general. I've got some that have yet to see a single Battle Maison or Link Battle. I do interesting teams mostly myself, but I find myself hard pressed to get around to trying some of the ideas I have. I tend to enjoy my mono-type teams too much, especially my Poison Mono. Which somehow actually wins sometimes.
I've been seeing a lot of the same boring sweeper pokemon over and over, it encourages me to build more annoyers and tanks. I might raise a Golem just for the 1,000 Talonflames. I've always wanted a Golem since 1996...
Am I the only one who finds it real disappointing to see a Crobat use Brave Bird? So much potential, wasted on sweeping...

Starting Dec.12th or so you can no longer tuck in a Pokemon, but until January or so you can still use a Pokemon that's already tucked in. And it seems Timburr has never been available in the G5 Dream World.

My game is teasing me. It gave me a perfect Honedge.... except for HP. Come on game. D:< (then it gave me a max IV one in speed, grrrrr)
And two more:
X/31/31/X/31/0 and X/31/31/31/31/0.
Seriously game, give me HP. D:<
And the newest one made me sad:
31/31/31/31/X/0. Mean game mean! D:<

I'm having fun with my Assault Vest Tyranitar. It actually took an Aura Sphere crit from a MegaMewtwo Y. I use him to pursuit kill all the ghost and psychic types that like to run Focus Blast on their movesets. For 4x the damage, he still has over half of his health left. Then the person tries to switch out and that's when I get them. Unfortunately, physical moves still hurt a lot. But it's easy enough to make up for that.
I also cleaned out my PC and working on fleshing out my pokedex. I also have a timid Eevee from Japan with high IV's, but I don't know what to do with it.

I like wacky combinations sometimes too. Like putting Fly and Dig on at the same time. Doesn't matter if the opponent can s easily Protect against them or switch out, being repeatedly forced to waste a turn is going to grate on their nerves.
New favorite: Flying-type plus Dig. NOTHING (save for a Pokemon with No Guard) can hit them with anything while they're underground. I had one battle in the Maison where a Swalot Yawned my Jolteon. Next turn I use Dig and Jolteon falls asleep while underground. The only downside? That the opposing team knew Earthquake. Next time, I'm doing this with Hawlucha.

Teal, I changed my dark team back to its normal movesets, so I'm ready to battle whenever.

Okay HOLD on. Simple -doubles- stat boosts?!
There was someone on GameFAQs using a Numel of all things and absolutely destroying with it in Double battles. It has Stockpile and its partner can snag the boost with Psych Up. Guy's also got Growth, which can be +4 Atk/Sp.Atk in the sun.
Apparently this was a thing since Gen 4, but there just wasn't any good user until now.

Had a pair of 3-on-3 casual battles with a guy at the local game shop. We both won one apiece.
First battle, it was my Hawlucha, Talonflame, and Delphox against his (mega) Garchomp, Charizard, and Lucario. I wore down his Mega Garchomp, Talonflame beat Charizard in a Fly vs. Fly duel, and Delphox outright smelted Lucario. The only casualty here was Hawlucha.
Second battle was my Mienshao, Delphox, and Mega Absol against his Ampharos, Charizard, and Mega Tyranitar. Ampharos hits hard on the Sp.Atk, but Delphox could've taken him if she hadn't GOTTEN PARALYZED AND THEN LOSE TWO TURNS IN A ROW. Mega Absol hit hard enough to convince him to switch to Mega Tyranitar (oops, should have stuck with Night Slash than Psycho Cut). Did get off a Perish Song before going down. In return, Mienshao outright ONE-SHOTS Tyranitar's 4x weakness to Fighting, though Charizard comes in to finish it off with Fly.

Double Battle Chatelaine fight GO! (It only took four tries to get here. Damn Belch Swalot, Earthquake Magcargo, Leech Seed/Protect Quilladin, etc.)
The party:
- Charti Berry Talonflame with Flamethrower, Roost, U-Turn and Fly
- Mega Absol with Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Charge Beam and Perish Song
- Rocky Helmet Regenerator Mienshao with Rock Slide, U-Turn, Drain Punch and Aerial Ace
- Wide Lens Limber Hawlucha with Dig, Sky Drop, Flying Press and Roost
Yes, I know there's a crippling weakness to Fairy moves in this lineup, but that's a risk I'm perfectly willing to take. Mienshao and Talonflame make one mean U-Turn team.
It's over. Wow . . . that was intense.
AND I've finally hit 200BP! Time to get that Ability Capsule....

Evelyn sends out Primape and Pachirisu! Go, Talonflame and Mienshao!
OUCH Stone Edge hurts, and Pachirisu's Light Screen took the heat out of my Flamethrower, but at least the Charti Berry kept Talonflame alive long enough to actually DO something, and Mienshao gives Pachirisu a good punch.
Pachirisu and Primeape are both faster, though; the squirrel takes out Talonflame with Volt Switch and tags out for Lumineon, while Mienshao nails Primeape a good one with Drain Punch. I can't send in Mega Absol yet (not with Primeape on the field), so Hawlucha, you're up!
Primeape is the major threat here, but his Earthquake is mitigated by having multiple targets on the field (plus Hawlucha's immune to it), and one Drain Punch finishes the ape. Hawlucha gets frozen by Lumineon's Ice Beam (damn!) AND thaws out (DAMN!) to get off a Flying Press against the fish for major damage.
Hawlucha goes down in a Volt Switch on the next turn and Persian tags in -- RIGHT into Mienshao's Drain Punch! That poor cat never even got a turn, and Lumineon's Ice Beam barely scratches Mienshao.
Mega Absol and Mienshao, this is it! Their Volt Switch and Surf aren't much threat yet (and Pachirisu almost goes down in friendly fire); in return, Mienshao's Rock Slide nails Lumineon (but misses the squirrel), and Mega Absol's Charge Beam (which WAS intended for that fish) finishes off the match.

Wait WHAT it's a consumable item!?

Well, I've always preferred breeding for Abilities anyway. Next objective - the power items!

So I bred a male Hawlucha (it came out with flawless Attack/Defense/Sp.Atk), taught it Power-Up Punch, and gave it a nickname. What else? "Falcon Punch".

I'm finally getting around to beating X. I think I'll catch the legendaries and get the megastones before restarting.
Rather than do another for fun playthough, I want to try a nuzlocke on it. :3 I also want to do a wonderlocke (I'll wait until after Pokebank) and an Eliminationlocke on it. I don't think I'll do that normal playthrough with Froakie anytime soon... Unless I start with him on my Nuzlocke. Hm...
Edit: I walked into the e4 with 2 revives and an under-leveled team. Oops. XP

No idea what the latter is, but the former iirc is where you play through the game only using Pokemon you receive from a Wonder Trade.

You know what it does??
It kills Instacheck! The hack! They DO care!
