Random Matchup
 
Yes, well has anyone been winning there? I sorta have a hard time defeating a lot of Japanese battlers during Single Battles. I won 44 times there, but I have been winning slowly lately, despite having a good team. I use Espeon, Ferrothorn, Volcarona, Gyarados, Hitmonlee, and Latias. Yes I EV trained them by giving them vitamins. Volcarona is the strongest in my team due to Quiver Dance and his other attacks, but he easily loses to those Japanese people who has a pokemon with a high attack stat. And the others get swept by them. I only beat like 5-10 of them out of 44. And that my point is that I just wonder how people can beat them. I don't hate the Japanese, I wonder how to beat them easier, because I have been losing to them 10 times each day.

Yeah, it seems people are becoming for smarter competitive-wise. I used to win all the time, now i tend to lose now. More people are using cheap pokemon like Oran Berry Sturdy Recycle Magnemite, No Guard Machamp, And the three worst ones, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Rotom-W. I have nightmares about those three. But I do have a lot of EV trained pokemon from trading, my team is Thundurus, Ferrothorn, and Jellicent.

I've only tried it a few times, but honestly it's horrible. Every time I get close to winning the other person decided to rage quit, it's quite pointless even bothering with it if I'm honest. Though I managed to win a few battles when it was really close, but overall I haven't really used the mode much. I'm not really much into competitive battling either.

This x1000. I tend to use the battle subway more anyway.

Well, when I rematch these Japanese people who beat me, they just leave me when I want to rematch them by pressing the on button on their DS/DSi, which is why I hate the way the Japanese people battle and treat us like crap(not to be racist). I just hate the way they actually try to make us look like laughing stocks

I've tried out Random Matchup, but I seem to lose more often than I win, despite my competitive knowledge. I guess I'm a bit reckless when it comes to that.
