2012 VGCS Winter Battle: The Wi-Fi Tournament Discusion Thread

You should really try to go in with a rouge team and not just some cheap done to death smogon team...

To be fair, people should really be allowed to use what they want, overdone or not. It's their decision alone, not anyone else's.

[Marbi Z]

I haven't battled all that seriously in forever, so I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not trying to do much of a cheap team, because I never liked that when i played OU a lot anyways xD. I just need somewhere to start and then i'll be able to tweak from there hopefully, because quite frankly i don't wanna use thundurus all that much D:. Main reason I'm not using rain is because that has been done to death as most of us know xD

Well... Just experiment and see what works for you. That's what I do.

I used to use hail in OU, but I don't feel entirely safe coming back into battling with a playstyle that's hard enough to use as is. Just gonna use a simple team and hope for the best xD Might try to do some testing and playing around tomorrow

If you want we could play a match or so xD
i havent played in doubles since the last friendly so some team testing and practice would be awesome ^^

I could probably use some practice rounds when i get the team ready, kinda just breezing through the pokedex for ideas now

I cant give any advice or even ideas about that since im not good at team building either :/ maybe watch some videos on youtube of VGC matches ant take some ideas from there maybe.
either way if you wanna playtest and all that just pm me x)

alright, maybe tomorrow. The best way i've learned is from failing so that's a good way to work on it i guess :P

Finally got all the registrations up, and contacted the people who didn't post one to try and get their info. Thanks for the posts guys!

I'm currently breeding my last member. I decided on sticking with a more familiar team, and just adding this last member. Hopefully it all turns alright; the team handled well before.

[GC7]

I decided what Team I'll be using,
Kangaskhan, Butterfree,Mamoswine,Latios,Rotom-W and Chandelure

That's certainly an... Odd team but I bet you'll do well! Good Luck everyone!

I'll bet you Butterfree is for compound eyes sleep powder.

Kind of gimmicky, because Butterfree's stats, typing, and moves suck, but in a battle with no sleep clause, it's also very dangerous.

Yes a bit odd but fortunately it has worked pretty good, good luck to you as well!

Yes butterfree is pretty dangerous with out sleep clause especially with resisting 4x fighting moves and not getting hit by earthquake

haha hey there, Ah well Unlike this team the eevolution teams are usually very predictable due to only being 8 pokes and not having much problem with memorizing their abilities or move pools :P
Good luck to you as well and hope we can have our battle later on tonight
