HA Amaura and new WiFi tourney
Didn't see a thread about this anywhere so I'm posting it.
The other day a new Battle Spot competition was announced called "Enter the Dragon Type", where players must use at least 1 Dragon type Pokemon their team, and will only be on ORAS games and not both ORAS and X/Y. Participants will receive an Amaura with its Hidden Ability, Snow Warning, after it's over. So we finally have another Pokemon that has Snow Warning besides Abomasnow, and now all 4 weathers have 2 different summoners for it. Article here: http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Enter_the_Dragon_Type_Wi-Fi_competition_announced Thoughts? |
Always nice to have HA versions, never been a huge fan of Amaura but if you like Ice types its nice. Will try and nab one when someone starts breeding them.
|
I knew this was coming from Serebii, so this is really nice, yes. It'll be one of (if not) the last HA Pokémon that has yet to be released to get its time to do so. It might serve some decent use, but since weather was nerfed this generation I would still prefer to use Hyper Voice over Blizzard for it.
|
Yay! Been waiting for this before fully breeding my Amaura ☺ Glad to see it's finally coming out.
Also glad I didn't start breeding Amaura before this... lol |
Snow Warning still isn't going to help Amaura much, since Abomasnow outclasses it with its Mega Evolution for more bulk.

As was pointed out, Refrigerate is still Amaura's superior ability but still it's nice to see every Kalos Pokemon with Hidden Abilities now. It's still not bad to pick it up if you get the chance to.

This could be fun. I've been taking part in all of the recent events. They're mostly fun when they don't include Uber-level Legendaries. The last event before this current one that's about to start had similar rules (limited to 2, non-special event Legendary) and pretty much everyone was running a team with Mega Rayquaza. That's just not fun. This time though, you can use pretty much any Legendary (minus hacked, unreleased ones.) I imagine we're going to see a huge amount of Darkrai's and Mega Rayquaza's. That's gonna suck. Regardless, definitely nice to participate in if you want a HA Pokemon.

I personally have been loving these tourneys. The chance to use things like Mewtwo Y and Primal Groudon in doubles is very unique and the limitations make it much more strategic when building a team. I like the 2 major legends per team very much, and think it adds a lot more possibilities. I'm excited for Amaura, even though I will never use it, haha! |

I love Amaura and Aurorus! People underestimate these two so much. They are decent in fighting Flying (Mega Pigeot is done ) and Poison type pokemon. And as a trick room team player in triple battles they crush!
HA is okay. Hail needs more benefits |
The last non-legendary Pokemon to have its HA released? Count me in on this tournament.
|
Didn't even notice this.
I used Amaura in my first X run, so I'll definitely be in on this one! Even better with Snow Warning. |
Nothing will really benefit from Amaura having Snow Warning, and Refrigerate is the more useful ability by a long shot. It's cool, though, that there's another Snow Warning setter, I will admit.

People who used it were cheap players, so I retaliated with cheap playing by Perish Trapping their Mega Ray with Mega Gengar lol. I ran into one about 9 out of 10 games, it was frustrating and boring. |

Darkrai is pretty easy to put down (thanks to my Technician Mach Punching Breloom ^_^). Anyway, forcing us to add a dragon-type and only allowing 4 'mons in our battle box is kinda limiting though. I never liked using any dragons, though I grew fond of using Kingdra from the [Battle of Hoenn] online competition. So I guess I'm bringing her back for this competition. :3
|
I'm just excited to do a competition with a dragon type requirement. Although, to be completely honest, I doubt I'll do well since all my best pokemon are dragon types and I haven't done any breeding for competitive battling. At least I'll get a special amaura as a nice consolation prize. I do wonder what it would be like if they had these themed tournaments where every pokemon involved had to be a certain type though. Could make some strategies a bit different than the norm, that's for sure.
|
DRAGONS!
I don't usually participate in tournaments, so I'll probably stay away from this one but Amaura is so cute I might consider it <3 I doubt the ability will increase its usage, but it's not like it's widely used anyway so.. why not. |
I'd still really like one for collecting purposes so it's great that it's finally going to be released. Yay! But first I need to nab that HA Tyrunt...
|
Registration might be full already. My brother couldn't register for it today.
|
I will never join a tourny anymore unless it would be worth it. Last time I joined, it was the battle for hoenn. According to their rules, i can leave the competition anytime and still get credit for the battles i had. I battle at least the minimum times each day. I then pulled out when it ended but then when everything was done, i had no ranking or anything so i didn't get my HA Tyrunt.

The legendary bird trio The LEgendary Beast Trio The Regi Trio Heatran and that's it. Everything else has been released in one form or another (not counting pokemon that has had their hidden ability changed from gen 5 to gen 6, or pokemon that come in numerous forms such as Flabebe or Gourgheist because as a species their hidden ability has been released just not technically with every form) |

Yay! Can't wait to get it. ^^ |
My rank is terrible in this competition, but whatever, HA Amaura here we come~
