    GG. Admittedly, using that team might have been a bad idea since you helped me build it and all but I was obviously outplayed, regardless. Also, if you don't mind saying, what moveset were you running on Tangrowth?

    I'm trying to break old habits, such as ignoring team preview, etc. I usually have trouble keeping Blissey from getting pursuit trapped. Thanks for all the help and advice, hopefully it will help me do decently on the ladder.

    Remember you need to plan out your game with team preview. If you see they have Volcarona, Blissey shouldn't have a big chunk from anything. As for handling Celebi and Latias, your own Latias handles the former unless they have Hidden Power Ice. Tyranitar shouldn't be switched into Celebi except on a free turn or a guaranteed Nasty Plot turn. It will gobble up Latias just fine, though.

    I know Rotom-W is anti rain, but Blissey and Gliscor can collectively beat/wall most Rain Abusers, although Rotom does provide another line of defense if one of them falls, although Latias is adept at absorbing Hydro Pumps and Thunders as well. I might refrain from using Quagsire, since that will make my team essentially the same as user Schweinsteiger [the guy who I got the idea to use Quagsire from] and it really wouldn't be right to ladder using a team that's nearly identical to someone else's. I'm pretty sure that I have Landorus handled, as Quagsire can stop the ones that set up [as can Gliscor, with proper prediction] and Latias can revenge kill when Landy is at +0 speed; the scarf ones are pretty easy to beat, considering they make themselves susceptible to my Blissey if they choose to use Hidden Power Ice. About Forry, I normally wouldn't use it to stop Volcarona, I'm only talking about a situation in which Blissey has taken a good chunk of its health and has been taken out by Volcarona, I can then switch in Forry [if I have nothing better to stop it with] who can use Sturdy to take a hit, and then retaliate back, I normally wouldn't use it to switch in on and beat Volcarona. Also, what procedures should I take against Celebi and Latias? Tar seems like the obvious choice, but sometimes it gets hit pretty hard on the switch in, and I won't be able to pursuit or crunch, since I'll be outsped and killed the next turn.

    If you go to Quagsire, you lose a big source of protection from rain. I'm assuming you want to use Unaware based on the threats you listed. You would also lose a Ground immunity. I don't know if that would really help against something like Landorus depending upon the set. As for Forretress, you can give Gyro Ball a try if you want. Just keep in mind with Shed Shell, you probably won't be able to utilize Sturdy as much. Not to mention you should never be using Forretress to stop Volcarona.

    Hey KG, while tutoring is over, I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions about the team we made when we first started the session. Firstly, would Quagsire be a good replacement for Rotom? I saw someone on ladder using a team similar to mine, except they used Quag over Rotom, and it actually might help me a bit, in handling things like Scizor [if Gliscor falls to it, somehow], Scrafty, Landorus, etc. Also, I was thinking of giving Forretress Gyro Ball over Volt Switch and a Shed Shell over leftovers, as it's the only thing that can really stand up to Haxorus after Gliscor dies to it, and Gyro Ball would also prove useful alongside sturdy, which would allow me to survive hits from and kill things like Volcarona with a few Quiver Dances under its belt, at 30-40% health.

    Hey KG, should I send in the Tutor Evaluation thing yet, or should I wait until the Round 52 Tournament starts/finishes?

    Oh, alright, I'm ready to get started now, then. Do you have an MSN?
