Since i want you guys to rate my team, and maybe have a few battles with? I have done this.

Hey, how's my team?
Playthrough: Competitive.
Teammates: Sableye(Casper) Mawile(Mega) Rotom(Wash), Pyroar(Female) Smeargle, Altaria(Rainman)
Pokemon 1 Moveset: Swagger, Foul Play, Shadow Sneak, Fake Out.
Pokemon 2 Moveset: Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Rock Slide, Protect.
Pokemon 3 Moveset: Thunderbolt, Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Ball, Hydro Pump.
Pokemon 4 Moveset: Fire Blast, Hyper Voice, Hidden Power, Flamethrower.
Pokemon 5 Moveset: Crafty Shield, Dark Void, Wide Guard, King's Shield.
Pokemon 6 Moveset: Hyper Voice, Flamethrower, Tail Wind, Protect.

Oh yeah, and i'm a shiny hunter. Currently after: Cloyster.

Few things-

1: Just a note, but Mega Mawile and Swagger are banned in Smogon formats. I prefer to play by those, but if you don't want to, that's fine. Just wanted to throw it in there.

2: Don't run offensive Sableye. Its stats are subpar and its ability and movepool both make it good for defense rather than offense. Instead, you should run Attacking Move, Subtitute/Will-o-Wisp/Taunt, another aforementioned move, Recover.

3: Protect on Mawile is pretty pointless. It is decent for scouting things out, but it prefers to have Swords Dance, Iron Head, or Fire Fang, with the first move allowing it to tear through opponents' teams with easy and the other two moves helping it break through more walls (its main purpose if it doesnt have SD) because they help its coverage.

4: Don't quote me on this, but I think Rotom prefers to be used with Volt Switch over coverage with Shadow Ball. It allows you to use it as a slow, bulky lead to give you initiative over faster leads, but you have to be aware that if the opponent leads with a speciwl sweeper, Rotom could be a bad lead idea.

5: Throwing this out there, Pyroar isn't a very good Pokemon. But, if you want to use it, that's fine. I think Dark Pulse is better than Flamethrower for it for more coverage so it can hit more things harder, while Flamethrower's only upside on that set is to help it if it gets its Fire Blasts stalled out.

6: If this is a doubles team, don't listen to me at all when I say any of these, but if it's singles, Smeargle's only good set utilizes Spore and Stealth Rock and Sticky Web with a filler move in the back...like maybe Taunt? I dunno, but Smeargle doesn't really want to run anything else in singles.

7: Is Altaria an alternate Mega? Altaria's biggest purpose in singles is...I dunno, Dragon Dance and Cotton Guard sweeping without its Mega and Supporting or Sweeping as a Mega. If it isn't Mega, then I suggest you run Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Cotton Guard and Roost on it and if it is, then that set's fine.

Note: Am I criticizing a bit too much? x.x

@Tentacruel

Nah, you aren't. But i agree with you. But, yeah. This isn't really with Smogon rules. This team is mostly because if i need a quick fight with friends.

Smeargle is also very handy in Doubles, thats why i have one. And yes, i know and agree with Pyroar not being a good Pokemon. But right now, it just goes as a slot, like bringing it out to switch freely. That its whole purpose.

And no, Altaria is not a mega, since i prefer battling with X and Y rules. Its mostly for the last chance, and have shown its worth, because it have even defeated a Charizard. To be honest, i don't know why i have it on my team.

Thanks for answering Tentacruel.

No problem!

I suggest either using that team for singles or doubles, not both. Like, all 90 competitive mons I've owned are for singles only, and they've got swept in doubles before, but sweep in singles.

---

Hmm, i will consider that.

I really need to make a box dedicated to br mons, since it takes me some minutes to see which are battle ready.

Thanks for letting me know!

You're welcome! As a reminder, if anyone ever needs me to get them any competitive bred Pokemon here, I'll give it to you.

Note:This is not only a post but also a opportunity to show off how to hide plot spoilers.

Theory:Magearna is connected to the Ultimate weapon

This is where the plot spoilers are, so here's where I'm putting a spoiler



Yes, you can post your theories on this club.

---

Wantef to propose an idea for a sort of tournament.

Rules?

How are Teams Chosen?

Questions? Anyone like or dislike the idea?

---

I agree, but I want Zathis's approval before its official.

---

Okay, updated the rules with some bans and stuff. I don't want to do Smogon, since Smogon's rules can be dumb sometimes, even though they're good for the most part.

And, the only reason the Latis are banned is because I can't tell if they're holding the Soul Dew and I don't want to check the damage calcs for that.

---

Ok! I think since 2/3 club staff approve of it, we'll start. It will begin at 3:30 on Friday (by begin, I mean that's the recommended date to start training up)

Everyone make sure to add each other, my fc is 4854-7538-5830

---

I think we should begin training week at Saturday reset (PH time).

I'll start by putting ten things in the pot-

Current Pot

---

Alright I agree with it and I think we should implement that

Okay. PM/Palpad me/post here ten things you want to put in the pot and I'll add them. It's fine if you don't have access to your DS until later, as long as you post them before Saturday's reset.

---

I put in Delphox,Greninja,Politoed,Metagross,Gardevoir,Gallade,Ninjask,Hydregion,Shedinja, and Victini
