I've got my endgame team planned, at least. Haven't even started considering tournament strategies. Eep.

I've started looking into VCG teams, so far there's only about two-three Pokémon with Rain abilities (Hydration/Swift swim/water absorb), a good dozen with Sandstorm abilities (Sand veil/Sand paddle/Sand power) and the odd one or two with Hail abilites (Snow Cloak/Ice Body). Sunny abilities seem to be limited to the Chlorophyll. With perma-weather casters banned, it now means if you want the weather you'll need to cast it and waste a turn.

I hope Zoraork isn't banned, it's funny to have him pretend to be another Pokemon, hello head feck

The thing that worries me now though is: Tornelos, Voltolos and Landlos...

To which I say Ice Beam/Ice Punch....

TheChrisD wrote: »

I mean, the first two with Teasing Heart throwing out weather, status moves and the like with +1 priority? And then Landlos with Sand Power giving him an extra 30% power during a Sandstorm?

Erufuun is faster and throws out Taunt and Tailwind. If you feel like being a d!ck, breed on Switcheroo and hand over an Iron Ball :P

I get the feeling the scene will be dominated by those three, Sazandora and the Musketeers. And probably Ulgamoth as backup and Archos for a true "glass cannon" on Turn 1.

Let me introduce you to my friends Hi Jump Kick, Hi Jump Kick and Rock Slide :P

Officially no. Unofficial somewhere in the UK, France, Germany and possibly Spain. Unofficially sometime around the end of May. Expect official dates and time about two weeks before the first date, I kid you not...

• "Power of Secrets" is used, one notch lower accuracy rate of 30% chance of opponent.
• "Hogoshi force" is used, the type of Pokemon with "the same surface type" will change.

How moves are effected:

• Nature Power becomes Earthquake
• Secret Power has a 30% of lower accuracy
• Camouflage makes the user the Ground type

Other Considerations

• Using such a device to modify reports that the games are sold in some data, including tampering Pokemon modified code, Pokemon was created using the code is not available and reconstruction..
• Check in strategy guides and game notes, and operation of mobile phones, organizers and if we believe that we act to affect play, you may be disqualified.
• Equipment problems, if play is interrupted by power failure or other interruption of communications, will again play under any circumstances.

Don't use AR or other such things ya muppet! If there's a Power failure, a sure we'll have another go at it!
