I vote Slowbro. Because Mega Swolebro is OP. I mean just look at this.

Or Heracross. Idek let's get other suggestions.

BreederShax March 14th, 2015 5:44 PM

Hey, sorry I'm late, I am Shax, Showdown is TehShax, and ORAS is Kimothy. I can provide plenty of good pokemon sets in those if we need them for training or whatever. So yeah, I'm somewhat new to the Showdown thing, I've mostly used it to make teams, never battled on it. I am a mediocre battler, currently sitting around 1400 in battlespot singles, mostly because I don't use 'good' pokemon. So yeah, I vote Zorua, Lapras, or Nidoking. Because they are all powerful, but overlooked.


Also, I'm on the EST, as far as time zones work, I can be contacted easily at [email protected]

BreederShax March 14th, 2015 6:37 PM

So I made a team that should do somewhat well, the only thing I lack is a special wall. Currently running Celebi, Mega Altaria, Keldeo(Calm Mind/Expert Belt set), Bisharp, Infernape, and Staraptor. Any suggestions would be great, thinking I might switch Keldeo for Coil Competitive Milotic w/ Blizzard, Hydro Pump, Calm Mind, @Leftovers.

Lycanthropy March 15th, 2015 1:46 AM

My Battle Server name is Aerocheese. The timezone here is UTC+1, which makes it quite a lot harder to be active in the American evenings, but I can be online at random times during my daytime in the weekends.

As for the team name and mascot, I don't really have inspiration at this very moment and I think it's better to create a name agreeing with our play style. If we cannot think of a decent mascot, we always have a backup: Zekrom.

You don't necessarily have to put a special wall on your team. Your team can very well go an offensive route with the Pokemon you have. But it's up to you, you can do balance as well and put in a special tank/wall.

KorpiklaaniVodka March 15th, 2015 4:44 AM

I vote Slowbro as well.

Nicknames: KorpiklaaniVodka, TORNADUS-T LOL, AmourPearlShipper

Oh, missed it. Server name is jakemusicnote. Because originality is overrated.

Thanks, I tried it out in OU on the PC server, but with nobody there, I only came out 1-1. Also, after seeing that shirt, I vote Slowbro too.

Lycanthropy March 16th, 2015 7:01 AM

I'm fine with Slowbro, it's one of my favorite Pokémon.

Nah March 18th, 2015 9:48 AM

Alright, I guess we'll go with Slowbro then as our mascot. Now we need a clan name. Maybe, like, The Swolebros or #teamSwolebro or some shit. Idk I suck at coming up with names for stuff. Help me out here.

BreederShax March 21st, 2015 5:36 PM

Has anyone actually made teams and all that yet? Should we arrange a "Training Day" to see if we can test out our teams on each other?
I have 2 decent OU teams, and an absolutely terrible UU Team.

Nah March 21st, 2015 5:42 PM

I have some shitty teams all ready. Pretty sure that a couple of the others do as well.
But yeah, once we settle on a name, it'd be good to sometime get on and battle each other. You can always ask someone to battle and practice with too if you want.

Lycanthropy March 22nd, 2015 4:57 AM

I have two OU teams and a LC team. The OU teams are okay, but I haven't tested the LC one yet.

BreederShax March 22nd, 2015 3:03 PM

Anybody up for battles Monday or Wednesday? lol My only free time all week, besides late at night.

I'd be up for a few battles then

Nah March 25th, 2015 4:14 AM

Alright so wolf kinda wants all the clans to have their mascots and names decided upon by noon (noon in our timezone anyway) today, so unless people say that they really wanna do something else in the next hour or 2 after the time of this post we're gonna go with The Swolebro Nation as our clan name.

Lycanthropy March 25th, 2015 4:34 AM

Okay, I'm fine with that name. Let the tournament begin!

Wolf has started the very first PCL tournament, guys!

Our opponents atm are the members of antemortem's Draconian Empire. The linked post tell you who you have to battle first, and gives the details and important things and advice and stuff.

Anrin Deo Avis March 29th, 2015 5:06 PM

Well hai My names in showdown is Anrin Das, Anrin Davis Ryan, Anrin N, Blazing Heart and my Main poke in team is Manteric

Nah March 30th, 2015 1:29 PM

Btw if anyone ever wants to battle me or something shoot me a PM or hit me up if I'm on the battle server.

Feel free to post replays or teams in here (or in the main BTB forum) if ya want people to help you out with that too....

Lycanthropy April 1st, 2015 10:21 AM

I just lost my match, so we're currently at an disadvantage of 0-3. Luckily this is just a warm-up round.

Nah April 11th, 2015 4:22 AM

Guys, wolf's started a couple of cool PCL events, so make sure to check 'em out!

Yes, I noticed. I've sent a VM to plan a battle.

Good luck everyone!

Detox May 4th, 2015 1:08 PM

So I'm a part of this now. Can we please revisit the name of this clan lol...

Haha, just saw that you were added to this clan. It's good to have you with us =)

I would not be opposed to changing the clan name and mascot if everyone wants to, though idk if wolf will allow that or not

wolf May 4th, 2015 1:25 PM

Sure, clans can change names and mascots anytime. Just get majority of your clan to agree.

Detox May 5th, 2015 3:31 PM

Snagged us a win, so we're 2 - 0 right now. Lets keep the momentum guys!

Detox May 5th, 2015 9:26 PM

Okay so sorry for the double post, but I had a few name and mascot suggestions. Castform told me it was okay to do this, so if there is a problem get @ him instead of me n__n. Anyway, I’ll just list some of the stuff I brainstormed.

Name: Stratum Force
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/719-mega.png


Name: Wings of Desolation
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/717.png


Name: The Widowmakers
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/282-mega.png


Name: Smite
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/493.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/487-origin.png
Note: I only listed this one because for some reason, it made me laugh. I honestly think the name could be something better, lol.


Name: Razor’s Edge
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/212-mega.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/376-mega.png


Name: Volume Zero
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/094.png


Name: Echoes of the Lost Age
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/382.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/383.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/384.png


Name: Black Magic
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/065-mega.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/302-mega.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/491.png, [insert Hoopa-U sprite]


Name: Fianchetto
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/625.png

I have more, but I do not want to flood with hella suggestions. I picked the ones I thought were best. Note that the Pokémon listed are alternates, not me suggesting that we use all of them as the mascot.

Nah May 7th, 2015 7:17 AM

'ey, so, is anyone else besides Syn interested in changing the clan name and mascot, or....?

Also if anyone wants team advice or some practice battles don't be afraid to ask.

Detox May 7th, 2015 9:45 AM

Perhaps we should have a Skype group or something like all of the other clans, because this thread doesn't seem very active as of late.

Lycanthropy May 8th, 2015 5:25 AM

I agree with a name change, King Syn has some really good ideas and the current one is kinda odd, to say it subtly.
I vote for either Razor's Edge, Volume Zero or Black Magic.

Nah May 8th, 2015 5:31 AM

I like a few of the mascots Syn proposed but not so much the names so I'll throw out a few ideas too not like they'll be much better

The Iron Fist(s) http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/376-mega.png

The Supreme Goat Lords Blazing Judgment http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/493.png

ok I sat here for awhile trying to think of an alternative name and came up with nothing =( http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/719-mega.png

Electrifying Black Yin (can shorten to just Black Yin if it's too long) http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/644.png

And for the Yveltal one I like "Wings of Despair" instead of "Wings of Desolation"

idk

KorpiklaaniVodka May 8th, 2015 7:20 AM

I wouldn't agree with changing the clan name...

Detox May 9th, 2015 2:09 PM

Volume Zero w/ Gengar, Electrifying Black Yin w/ Zekrom, or Stratum Force w/ M-Diancie all sound nice. I'd prefer any of the three, really.

Anrin Deo Avis May 10th, 2015 12:41 AM

well i agree with syn for a name change i vote for
Name: Black Magic
Mascot: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/065-mega.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/302-mega.png, http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/491.png, Hoopa-U

and

Blazing Judgment http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/493.png

Nah May 10th, 2015 3:46 AM

Alright so we have 4-5 votes for yes to changing the clan name/mascot and one for no don't change the name/mascot. So we're changing the name and mascot then (sorry Amour). As for what we're changing it to, it's so far like this:

Razor's Edge w/Mega Scizor or Mega Meta - 3 votes
Volume Zero w/Gengar - 2 votes
Black Magic w/Mega Zam or Mega Sab or Darkrai - 2 votes
Electrifying Black Yin w/Zekrom - 2 votes
Blazing Judgment w/Arceus - 2 votes
Stratum Force w/Mega Diancie - 2 votes

So I guess it's which one of these we're going with. Razor's Edge has more votes than the rest but it only has half of the votes and not a majority so that's why I'm not saying that's what it's gonna be right now.

Detox May 10th, 2015 8:01 PM

Maybe you should add a poll to the thread, that way narrowing it down would be far easier.

Nah May 11th, 2015 4:08 AM

Aaaaaaand poll's up now. Thanks for suggesting that Syn, I shoulda thought of that XD

You only get to choose one option, btw

Anrin Deo Avis May 14th, 2015 4:49 AM

well we got only 2 votes by now i think most of them didn't know about the poll

Nah May 14th, 2015 5:16 AM

I don't have a Skype account. Don't really plan on making one. Except for the battle server I've never been into live chatrooms. And honestly I don't see how a Skype chat is any better.

But I'm also probably one of the very, very few who thinks this.

Lycanthropy May 14th, 2015 5:24 AM

I don't really see much benefit. What does it matter if we communicate here or through Skype?

I do have Skype, but I don't check it that often, but that could be changed probably if needed.

Nah May 14th, 2015 5:42 AM

Except....y'all are kinda supposed to check this thread (scroll down to "Activity & Scheduling - Forum and Server Presence").

And we all live in various time zones with varying schedules. The thing with Skype or any live chatroom is that the messages don't last forever. So if I come in and post something important, some of you won't get to see it if you come in like 6 hours later cuz I posted it at like 1AM your time zone. At least on the forum messages are there for all eternity and don't require us to all be on at the same time to have have a conversation about something. I do get that having more than one means of communication is nice, but is PC+battle server (which we're all supposed to be on on a regular basis) not enough?

Nah May 15th, 2015 3:57 AM

Ok, so looking at the poll, there's 3 votes for Black Magic, 1 for Razor's Edge, and 1 for Volume Zero. I haven't placed my vote yet but at this point I suppose it doesn't matter since regardless of where I put my vote Black Magic would still have more votes than anything else. So is everyone cool with that?

Lycanthropy May 15th, 2015 4:43 AM

I'm fine with either of those three, so yes.

Nah May 16th, 2015 4:02 PM

M'kay, our new clan name is Black Magic then. I'll go PM wolf about it and stuff.

Also....the deadline for round 1 is the end of tomorrow. Time extensions are probably not going to be given out. For those of you who haven't completed your battles yet, please do so. I'd like to see us get another win or 2. Also see this thread too.

Detox May 19th, 2015 5:03 PM

Apparently my services were needed since someone dropped out. If this is the case, I have contacted my opponent and I am waiting on a response: http://www.pokecommunity.com/converse.php?u=391900&u2=98356

Nah June 11th, 2015 11:04 AM

Just a reminder for y'all to do your battles for Week 4, tomorrow's the last day for battles for this week

Hanaaa June 16th, 2015 6:52 AM

Sorry for being away on the forums, it's not easy for me to use english here :x
First, I followed the result since the first week of PCL . And I want to say congratulations for all !! We made a good job by winning this amount of battles ^^
And thank you for Syn for being great as Anrin Das' sub in week 3 :)

We should decide who will be the 2 players for the mid-season tournament, right ? So how will we do ? Maybe volounteers can fight themselves to see, or just make a !pick on PS but I prefer the first way lol

Hope to meet you on PC's battle server :D
See yl ~

Don't worry about it =)

The mid-season tournament is already underway though:

http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=350489

And I picked you and me to be Black Magic's representatives in it. For the first round it worked out that you didn't have to battle anyone, but Anti's letting everyone do the battles for the next rounds as soon as they want to, so you can talk to static/srinator to see if you can set up a time to do your battles, since he's your next opponent.

Hanaaa June 18th, 2015 7:10 AM

Sorry, I lost against Srinator . Haxx costed me the first battle, anger and bad teambuild the second .
I couldn't do better, I'm really sorry about that ~
Hope you'll get all the luck I didn't get Nah, and thx for picked me ^^

Nah June 29th, 2015 4:06 AM

Alright, so the mid-season tourney is almost over now, and Anti's resumed the weekly clan battles: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=351366

Nah July 14th, 2015 12:08 PM

Week 7 is now up: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=352215

This is the last week before the PCL playoffs. IIRC we had the 2nd highest point total before last week where we kinda took a beating (including myself ;-; ), so hopefully things'll go better this week. I'd kinda like it for us to make it into the playoffs.
