East '13 Teams

[rhapsodious]

My team that ended up performing way better than I thought it would, even managing to land me in the Hall of Fame:

Psychic[/spoilerfy7]

Zoroark ended up being... much better than I thought. I think only a couple of people I battled realized something was off when a Chandelure was using Night Daze. I ended up switching leads between Zoroark, Ninetales and Salamence depending on the person. Really proud of my team though; I put a lot of work into trying to be competitive for once. Thanks to everyone who entertained me with a match!

I never want to IV breed again though. I probably will end up doing so because I secretly hate myself, but there has to be a rut on the daycare route by now. A very deep rut.

Badges won:

Sinful Emblem
Justice Emblem
Rotation Emblem
Solar Emblem

Swamp Badge
Redemption Badge
Wall Badge
Slow Badge
Hex Badge
Substitution Badge
Royal Badge
The badge for solving the puzzle (idk I solved the puzzle with one badge to assert dominance. Melanie/WoopWoop/whatever she goes by told me it counted.)

Nightshade Badge

[SandstormS]

Hey challengers, if its not too much trouble could you post the names of the badges you [bahh]won[/bahh](not through alternate means). I'm trying to remember which people actually beat me.

[imgjdi]http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/454f.gif[/imgjdi]
Scarlet the Toxicroak w/ Black Sludge + Dry Skin
-Sucker Punch
-Drain Punch
-Substitute
-Poison Jab

Ocassionally, I'd use only four party members, swapping out Scizor, Zoroark and Toxicroak for Ariados:

[imgjdi]http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/168.gif[/imgjdi]
Chiyome the Ariados w/ Quick Claw + Swarm
-Shadow Sneak
-Toxic Spikes
-X-Scissor
-Night Shade[/spoilerjdi]

I'd almost always lead off with Zoroark disguised as Toxicroak, leading for some nasty mind-games. I had a blast every time the illusion was broken and seeing people's reactions. It was also pretty fun to see people deal with Kecleon, if they didn't one shot him straight away.

Thank you everyone who battled with me and gave my Stunfisk friends some exercise. They were quite tuckered out after all this excitement. I hope you enjoyed meeting them as much as they enjoyed meeting you! Here are the lucky six who made the journey with me:

I'm pretty much a straightforward battler. My "team" isn't really one as I had been basically collecting "pretty" pokemon that appeal to me and then researching up the best moveset they can have on an individual basis.

So since by the time next year rolls around we'll probably all be into XY, heres my "stable" that I drew from in no particular order. (If no item is listed assume a gem of some kind because I never decide well)
