Competitive Pokemon X/Y

[Snowcrafta]

Well,tomorrow is a Pokemon tournament. Not sure if it's singles or doubles however. Thankfully garchomp and Azumarill are mean enough of their own, but that's assuming singles. If I get doubles, however, I've got it made

Weather doesn't matter to my team unless it's drought. The only reason I use drought is because that's what my Bellawesome and mega charizard run on, for the sake of solar beam. If I know someone is going to use sandstorm or rainy day, I don't use those two.

Hail is just lol worthy, because anyone who has more than 1 ice pokemon is just a easy sweep

Y'know, speaking of Hail, I'm really confident that Mega Obama would form a great core with Volcanion when he comes out. Too bad it wouldn't make Hail any better.

What weather wars?

While working on my team...

(In case the colors are too shitty for you: it's shiny.)

I'm really sad it is missing the Special Defense IV. (It has HP attack defense sp attack and speed. Joys of breeding with a 6 and 5 IV perfect...) Also no hidden ability Eevee is the most godly troll Pokemon to ever go for shiny. (I wasn't it was luck.)

[Snowcrafta]

Oddly enough, while lurker was breeding my perfect umbreon, he hatched a shiny Eevee too.

He wouldn't give it to me

[XelNya]

The question is, which eeveelution do I want shiny

I'm auto ruling out Umbreon Sylveon and Vaporeon due to the fact it's got no special defense IV Perfect which makes going for those kind of worthless.

So who shall it be then

[Snowcrafta]

Umbreon is far and beyond the best eevee evolution as far as battling goes. I'll assume yours doesn't have curse, which renders it useless

If it's got HP Ice, definitely go Jolteon. Since this probably isn't the case...ah, what the hell, go Jolteon anyway.

[Snowcrafta]

Well, I just swept two people at a "competition" with my Crobat and Umbreon. 6 man singles, I never have seen people look so annoyed by my Crobat in my life.

[Snowcrafta]

The only reason I run Fly instead of Brave Bird is because of the added turn for RNG confuse ray and for toxic to build up

I actually should get it checked what HP move it has. I wouldn't have a clue because Hidden power got changed this generation so I have no idea if the whole IV thing is how it's determined this go around which is what keeps me away from it.

Edit: HP Steel. Fucking. Steel.

[Snowcrafta]

Problem is how many fire pokemon are running around that makes steel unviable

[XelNya]

Yeah. There are still people running charizard / talonflame and getting away with it. Really sad making.

[Snowcrafta]

Talon flame can be dealt with because it doesn't have gale wind which means if you can land a rock slide you win

The reason Jolt needs HP Ice is for boltbeam coverage.

Registration opens May 7th, get ready to brawl on the 15th.

Who here's up for this?

[Snowcrafta]

You know I'm down

[Snowcrafta]

By the way, Nintendo or smogon rules?

[igotrhythm]

Probably Nintendo rules, though I'd want to have a Plan B in case of smogtard.
