@Mega Birb Name a time when a player was bragging about how awesome their character would be when they hit the field, and then they actually were.

I also run a bulky Mimikyu, and oh my god is it amazing in doubles. And Honchkrow, great coverage with a Life Orb. Best thing, I have a competitively valid Salazzle, and it sweeps teams.

Syphax. Zak. Almost Zeruel. Gwynn?

@Mega Birb Syphax's first battle was him getting batted around by Windy after taking shots and doing nothing in return from swordbot. He was all like "I'm gonna be air juno!" and was more like "I'm about as effective as Miyu, but I refused to die or hurt my own team, at least". Much better* showing this time around, but still. His first appearance was not that great.

I don't remember Zac bragging. Could be wrong. And he managed to pull it off by ignoring the first two-thirds of the battle to smartly wait until everyone else was injured.

Zeruel was very nearly the first casualty** and barely damaged one person.

Gwynn died to zombies after getting trashed by Grafdakka and Aqua.

*he was one of my favorite combatants this round
**not in a dead sense, but in a "Sir No Longer Contributing to this Battle" sense

If you also care to look into it, I've been raising a Ribombee who's been oddly badass with it's Pollen Puff and Quiver Dance set up. On a good day, it can sweep entire teams with only one Quiver Dance and Pollen spam. My Golisopod I'm building as my berserker/suicider, taking advantage of it's Emergency Exit, First Impression, Leech Life, Aqua Jet (Thanks to eugenics from Carracosta), and Wide Guard (Also a gift from Carracosta, used only in doubles to ensure that Emergency Exit procs). If singles, I replace Wide Guard with Protect. That being said beware, Golisopod is basically synonymous with First Impression, so anyone with half a brain would probably prep a Protect or Counter once he's swapped in.

Okay posted. Assuming nobody tries to take any more cheap shots at Zak, he's leaving the fight of Archadia with Marquise. He's counting this as a win. XD

Did the clone actually hit Bonesword... or did it vanish at the last second?

@Lucius Cypher@Mega Birb
If I can bring up a few of my recommendations, I've found great use in Krookodile. I used him when I was participating in an unofficial league back in the day, and while it was singles, my boy found use in doubles as a great Pokemon. Krook has great power from using moves like Knock Off and Earthquake, all while maintaining some level of bulk by investing in maximum HP. I remember the time where he swept an entire team in the league by just existing, and while he unfortunately didn't make it to the very end, he had one of the higher KO-Faint ratios of the league.

I've used Golisopod, and while I absolutely adore it, I've taken to using Araquanid over it for the time being. While Golisopod has incredible strength and priority, I prefer Araquanid because it can accomplish just as much as Goli while not having priority.

...I need to downplay my characters more, I enjoy talking about them too much. I enjoy talking about characters in general too much, now that I think of it.

New color because black was both too edgy and was a pain in the ass to read.

Okay, good to know. I'll probably drop a post by Friday for Bonesword and the Frog.

It will definitely not be tomorrow though. I have prom I must attend.

Nah bro, go on and o it more often. Makes the OoC lively. Plus it gives us insight about your characters/the perception of other characters that may not always be accomplished IC. I mean, I am kinda curious how other characters/players perceive the likes of say, Grafdakka. While the general consensus on Fran amounts to "She's a succubus", sometimes I do wish I knew what points about her to expand or improve upon to make it more fun for the whole fam. Which is difficult to do when no one talks about each other's characters, or if they're stuck in some form of Limbo ala imprisoned by angels.

I found Krookodile and it's preevolutions pretty solid when I was playing on my sis's XY. I would also recommend Golurk, however I only do so because I've faced many of them in the Battle Royale who totally kick my ass. Just how people get their hands on it I don't know, and I find it totally unfair.

Speaking of water types, have you considered Wishiwashi? That schooling is no joke, and with the right set up. Rest, Sleep Talk, Aqua Ring, and Scald has allowed me to sweep half the elite four, though to be fair I did start with Olivia and Hala. Only problem is that it doesn't have a very good variety of moves that isn't water type.

Grafdakka is a WH40K Ork. at this point there isn't much to say beyond that.

I've used Wishiwashi before, and while I have the complete new team planned out and Wishiwashi is not on it, I can say that it's still an amazing fish to use. I didn't run a Rest / Sleep Talk set, rather I ran Hydro Pump, Earthquake, and Ice beam on it, and regardless of my really weird spread it still managed to kick ass when I used it. I'd probably cry if it somehow got access to something like Water Spout, as that could be so strong in a good Trick Room set.

The final team is Tsareena, Garchomp, Celesteela, Tapu Koko, Oranguru, and Araquanid by the way. I'm excited to be using Instruct on my Swords Dance Garchomp.

True. I've actually be debating to myself whether or not I should flesh him out beyond that, or just continue to make him a tool for war. Personally I've kinda been wanting to make him sorta like Krieg from Borderlands 2 without the implication of horrific experimentation (Or maybe there could be, who knows). Pursue his social link!

It is for me anyway. I'm just glad I got my rental tux fixed before now. If I hadn't, I'd be wearing pants that went halfway up my calf.
