PAX Pokemon League

Pretty sure I'm responsible for a lot of cross-eyed Nidoran stumbling around the outskirts of Goldenrod City...

Oooh, I wanna post about my babies too!

[spoilerjxw][ijxw]Radin the Alakazam[/ijxw]
Modest / Inner Focus / Focus Sash

Psychic
Taunt
Focus Blast
Shadow Ball

My lead, because lololol Sabrina's signature. He was surprisingly good at his job, Taunting anyone who seemed like they were gonna set up, and having a good pool of moves to whip out against most anything that came out against him. He even managed to stand his own and do some fights almost completely by himself!

[ijxw]Jacques the Gallade[/ijxw]
Adamant / Steadfast / Life Orb

Close Combat
Psycho Cut
Swords Dance
Stone Edge

Physical attacks ahoy! Jacques was always good to have around in a pinch, even though he was a last-minute addition to the team who stepped in when I realized that I was an idiot and didn't have the time to raise a Wobbufett [ijxw]or[/ijxw] Magic Bounce Espeon. Jacques still performed excellently, however, and I'm glad he was on the team!

[ijxw]Kirin the Girafarig[/ijxw]
Modest / Inner Focus / Choice Specs

Thunderbolt
Psychic
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH GIRAFARIG! Kirin was put on the team to do what Kirin does best- switch in to Ghost-type moves, soak them up, and then send a Shadow Ball quickly careening back at the opponent. And even when there's no ghostly threats in sight, Kirin has a decently varied set of moves to pick from for almost any other situation.

Crux the Starmie[/ijxw]
Modest / Natural Cure / Leftovers

Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Hydro Pump
Rapid Spin

Definitely one of my MVPs for speed alone, but Crux also played a vital role being a Rapid Spinner, and having another varied movepool alongside Kirin. If Kirin was knocked out, Crux was ready to step in with an electric move, and was ready to do it fast.

[ijxw]Fujitsu the Metagross[/ijxw]
Adamant / Clear Body / Choice Band

Meteor Mash
Zen Headbutt
Earthquake
Bullet Punch

Did anybody say super obvious choice of tank? No? Then how about 'priority move'?

Dhyana the Medicham
Adamant / Pure Power / Choice Scarf

Poison Jab
ThunderPunch
Hi Jump Kick
Ice Punch

Anyone who battled me when I did Maylene at East recognizes Dhyana. She was one of the awesome members of my Fighting team, and since she had a type overlap, it was only natural to include her! She continued to nicely fill her role of being a Pokemon that no one gave two tosses about, and, therefore, had no idea what she was going to pull when she came out. The only difference between her in my Fighting team and her here is that we've replaced Confusion with Poison Jab, which was a useful move.[/spoilerjxw]

Fun times!
