East 2014 Team Showcase

[munchie]

My team!

Narrowing down food pokemon and something that would be challenging was interesting since a lot of these guys ended up not having a whole lot of defense (I'm looking at you, Scoops). I definitely had to use Vanilluxe since many people seemed to dislike him and he so obviously food. I nicknamed him my "one-hit wonder" since he was fast but so weak to everything but Freeze Dry is an awesome move. And he ended up knocking out half of one challenger's team at one point.

Munchie ended up being a great tank.I heard audible groans from challengers when he didn't go down after super effective moves - it was great.

Most of these pokes were ones that Pryce had used in the games. The only exception would be my Beartic, but he did have an Ursaring in Pokemon Stadium 2 so close enough. Each member pulled their weight and really shone in one battle or another.
I do have to say that I enjoyed the moans from my challengers when they saw that my Froslass was a suicide lead and would (normally) take their lead poke or mega down with it.

Oceanus, That complete mirror match with our Blastoises was the BEST THING.

For everyone else, we both led with hazards (Sticky Web and Toxic Spikes), then through a K.O. and a Volt Switch, We both switched to Blastoise at the same time. On the next turn we both Mega Evolved and Rapid Spun. Because of the web, my Blastoise was faster, and took out his, and then immediately the poison from his spikes knocked mine out. It was great.
