I'd probably 6-0 you then I ALMOST always have one of my many weaviles with me even when I'm going aginst fire like when I played CKType effectiveness plays a huge role when facing a monotype gym leader if the wild cards aren't good. Weavile had the power to destroy both of my wild cards so that was bad on my part to be so weavile weak. Strategy can bring you only so far though...
Anyways the fact that we can't have any weather, entry hazards, or focus sash (and only two of the same item) really pwns a lot of teams as well = CKN has a greater chance for success than normal. Stealth rock shuffling would rape his fire type pokes otherwise, and sandstorm would ruin recovery for some. Basically stalling is removed and teams can't have too many LO set up sweepers. No more rain dance to bring an advantage because it's banned.
But yeah let's stop with the gym leader discussion I agree.
Oh, and Greene that's why I'm not going to post my gym battles anymore, so people can't study them lol.

Challenging SCV yay <3
And on the note of CKN, let me remind you that the rules also apply to you, so making a team lets say stealth rock weak doesent apply, so you can use as many moltreses or charizards that you want, as well as switch in pokemon like salamence and gyarados that lose 25 percent health EACH time they enter the field when stealth rock is in play, both which are potentially incredibly dangerous sweepers when not countered. One must also take into consideration that Gym leaders must run 4 OF THEIR OWN TYPE, which puts them at an even more of a disadvantage, because many types are very predictable e.g A fire team would usually run heatran or infernape leads.
Beat SCV 1-0...
I feel bad for using Salamence, sorry, very cheap on my part
@Greene
ON Topic (which is currently off as it is)
Nuff said
I think that smogon's real complaint with mence is that it's hard to take it out without losing something first. Not that it can't be beaten, but that it guarantees massive damage to the opponent.
I did play when he was in so you have another untrue statment and when is your gym openingAnyone who thinks Garchomp should be in OU obviously doesn't understand the metagame very well and never played back when it was. Garchomp's stats and moves have little to do why he is uber, it is uber mainly because it over-centralized the metagame; every team has either Garchomp or at least 3 Garchomp counters and about 80% of teams were Sandstorm teams. Same thing with Manaphy.
Just to point out too Roshi, the smogon conversation is actually off topic, the topic on this thread is the league and its battles really.
