Okay, I know there are curious people and there's too much crap for me to say over mibbit so here's my VGC team and results. Move the post wherever you will, I have no clue where it belongs.
Team:
Dragonite w/ Persim Berry
Multiscale
Outrage|Earthquake|Extremespeed|Fire Punch
Ludicolo w/ Absorb Bulb
Swift Swim
Energy Ball|Ice Beam|Scald|Surf
Zapdos w/ Leftovers
Pressure
HP Ice|Thunder|Heat Wave|Detect
Politoad w/ Wacan Berry
Drizzle
Scald|Ice Beam|HP Grass|Protect
Toxicroak w/ Black Sludge
Dry Skin
Fake Out|Drain Punch|Sucker Punch|Substitute
Staraptor w/ Choice Scarf
Intimidate
Return|Close Combat|Brave Bird|U-turn
Battle 1: Won 4-0
Managed to OHKO 2 of his pokemon early on so it was already game.
Battle 2: Lost 0-1
It was Politoad at 1/4 health and Ludicolo at 2/3 health vs. a full health Garchomp. He used Protect the turn I used 2 Ice Beams. Then he used Earthquake, taking out the 'toad. I did hit him with 1 beam, but it held Yache? berry and so I took off a bit over half, which was useless at that point. He outsped the Ludi and won. :(
Battle 3: Won 2-0
Opponent used Speed Boost Blaziken. I thought it was hacked but talking to a few Smogonites, seems it's possibly legit. Oh well. I threw out Staraptor and Zapdos. U-turned Staraptor straight off and sent Politoad in right as Blaziken used Flare Blitz. He kept using Blitz so I guess it was choiced. Welp, he lost.
Battle 4: Lost 0-3
Rain team vs. Hail team. We pretty much kept our weather setters out of the starting ranks in anticipation to the opponent's weather. I lost.
Battle 5: Won 2-0
I don't remember this match. I think it was a trick room match? Dragonite uses Extremespeed to the win!
Battle 6: Won 3-0
Don't remember this one either!
Battle 7: Won 1-0
Another rain vs. hail team. I actually have the video for this one recorded. It's 17-11901-22547 on the GTS.
End result: 5-2 win-loss ratio. Placed 30th in Pink Flight, unknown overall (I'm identified under 2 PIDs and still waiting on Pokemon staff to correct it)
Final notes: I ended up never using Toxicroak. Unfortunately, the championship was fairly fast paced and so much damage was done at a time that Toxicroak would have been crushed fairly easily. And considering I saw 2 Cresselia and 2 Bronzong, it was just as well. Zapdos and Staraptor were both MVPs. Zapdos took a lot of hits and just laughed at most of them while Staraptor got 2 Intimidates in in most of the matches. The bugger actually Intimidated a Tyranitar to the point where its Stone Edge did only about 1/5 of the damage to Zapdos. I see why gems are so popular, but in the battles where I saw them, the gems were pretty much doing overkill to moves that would have KO'd anyways. All in all, it was fun and anyone who has the opportunity to should go. Over 700 competitors were there, and over 300 were placed in the Masters age group. Thanks goes to Blade and Twisted for throwing together 4 pokemon for me. And I think, Mia, because the Toxicroak is hers? Oh, and to the guy who bought me a free lunch. :D
Folks, if anyone tells you that the only good pokemon are RNG'd, it ain't true. At least, not completely. As long as your team is built right, IVs in the right places, trained right and you're familiar with them, you'll do well enough. Admittedly, 4 of my pokemon are RNG'd, but my two stars (Staraptor and Ludicolo) aren't. If you're curious of their IVs, go ahead and look at my shop and scroll down to them. (But don't post, please.) There's no way in hell I'd be able to use any of the new pokemon since my experience with them in competitive battles are nil.
