Maybe it would be better to start it on a Sunday? Either way I doubt I'll be able to participate because of finals johns.Lol ninja'd.

And whatever you do, don't make a rule that says if one player doesn't show up to a match then both will be disqualified. YOU'D HAVE TO BE SOME KIND OF IDIOT TO THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, AMIRITE?
Hey, is the Machamp's Pants PO server still up?

I doubt Machamps Pants is still up. Ill never add that rule also. I'll start up the tourney and wait until Sunday for people to create their team. Then on Friday we will all get online and play.

so i made that w/f/g core team and i didnt really like it, but then i looked and i now had a slowbro and in a box i had a reunclus and he already had tr on him, so i put trick room on my slowbro added bronzong and made a trick room team. Now i decided to put breloom on this team and he is amazing in trick room. its so good if u get him in safe which isnt hard he gets a free spore and swords dance on everything in the meta which is faster then him and thats a lot of things (and things slightly slower then him sense oiv's and ev's and negative speed nature.

It will turn out just like every other one: People will play maybe the first round, half of the second round, none of the third round, and then the tournament will die of inactivity and everyone will just give up.
You were never part of the weekly tournaments were you?
Those were really successful because we did them all in one night and had everybody meet up online around the time they started so that we were all in one place at one time. That's the kind of thing IceArrow is trying to recreate.
All the other PC tourneys have failed because we spread them out over several weeks and trusted the participants to organize their matches and get them done in time. This of course was a horrible idea because we are clearly irresponsible and untrustworthy.

Genesect is finally in Ubers. Now I will start playing OU again.

Now you can go back to the **** *** metagame that predated Genesect.
Metagame was worse back then because it was 425% Tornadus spam
I don't want to play a metagame like that again.

Then just use one of your own lol. Personally I don't think it's anymore threatening then stuff like RP Landorus or Specs Keldo.
best counter to tornadus anything is lanturn
no i'm not even joking
lanturn in general is a great "i'll **** all over you cuz i feel like it" pokemon to rain teams. it doesn't even get scratched by grass knot, and it can run thunder/scald/ice beam with toxic/heal bell/volt switch in teh last slot for fun times.
bonus: it can also safely counter NP thundurus-t. ice beam makes up for its poorer spatk stat and lets it easily 2hko, perhaps 1hko after sr and a couple rounds of LO

That intro was epic. I smiled as soon as I heard it.
So i straight up just dont understand Pokemon Showdowns Rating system and how you gain exp in it. Im almost at top 100 now after the ladder reset and I've played all of 23 battles. Also I just beat a guy who was apparently so far below me that he got +20 for losing to me and I got +1 for winning lol. What is this nonsense?

I've peaked at #38 and even I dunno how it works.... I just keep winning till I'm high on the ladder. *shrugs*
Why does it give so much so fast though? I literally only played for 2-3 hours and bam 1850 rating
well im closing in on 1900 already.
Maybe im just way too used to Dueling Network where like, after you hit 1000(the middleish ranking) you get all of like, 3 per win. Getting 10-15 per win just seems like a bit much to me.

Made a mono normal nu team. It's awesome but there are to many good normal types in nu (good for nu) and non of them
are special attackers
Edit: question: if raikou could be a timid nature and still use weather ball, and aura sphere would he be ou (or at least bl)?

i doubt it..even though raikou is fast, and hits hard, with good coverage, that just about all he has going for him. he's got good defense on the special side, but i feel like it would be hard to make the most of it, since you probably won't be dumping EV's into that. he has no key resistances, which most fast, hard hitters do have. and hes got a pretty lack luster ability. he'd proabably end up playing a similar role to starmie on rain teams, only without the ability to absorb status, rapid spin, recover, and trick. and rotom w can pretty much do the whole volt switch thing, and can still play utility as well.
Knut

yea he would definitely be pretty nice. he would probably still be outclassed by other OU pokes, depending on the niche he was filling on the team. ehh, that's just my opinion though.

Alakazam has no Psychic STAB attacks if it's physical.

While i dont disagree with you guys, i think u might be underestimating what he could do with his speed and one calm mind in weather, also weather ball in rain and sun pretty much becomes a 150 base power move, plus with aura sphere and thunder/thunderbolt you have amazing coverage.
(I do also agree with volt absorb he would be much nicer)

wait weather ball becomes a 150 base power move in weather? i remember reading it becomes 100 base power. if it is 150 thats kinda of a big difference.
nice sweep btw. lol
