Hey folks!

I've recently just joined onto the Pokémon X&Y Beta Competition on the Global Link... it's my first time double battling (I prefer & am used to single) so I wasn't expecting to do brilliantly buuuuuuuut it took me up until 2 hours before the tournament to finally get the Klefki I was looking for (thanks StCardinal). After EV training I was in such a rush to start battling I completely forgot to add Reflect.

I am now 0-4 pretty much purely destroyed by physical sweepers I could easily have nullified down.

Has anyone else ever messed up this big? Or am I alone in my epic stupidness? :D

I receive from wonder trade a protean froakie timid nature. I thought it has perfect IV (didn't check) so I did for the first time the super training.... well I end up unlocking everything and train all the Evs (took 2 hours since I didn't have a single idea of what I was doing). Then, when the froakie was fully trained I checked his IV it had Special Defence as 31....

That reminds me of the time when I was breeding my Raichu. I got a Pichu with all the IVs I needed, then I was in such a rush to make him "perfect", I neglected to level him up enough to learn Electro Ball. Time to breed Pikachus again...

You can reset his EV in the super training if you made a mistake :P

I've done plenty, but one time I used Earthquake against a Gyarados instead of Toxic with my Gliscor. If I had done Toxic, I would have won, since it had 1 HP and we both had no other pokemon. D:
FC is 0087-2907-0241 for Pokemon X and OR. Add me for some pretty battles and breeding I guess.

When I first beat XY and started battling I vastly underestimated Xerneas and was not carrying any Poison or Steel moves on my team. I mean who carried those moves in Gen 5? Only when you lacked a better option. I know we received the new table and I should have prepared but this was a stupid mistake lol.

Now this Xerneas had to have been Bold running 252 HP, 252 Def with Leftovers because I could not hammer this thing down with ANYTHING!! Geomancy obviously boosting it's SDef to stupid levels. Regardless I fought hard trying to bring it down, it fully boosted and swept my entire team.

The worst part of the story? I swept the rest of his team without losing anything. We were 6-1 when Xerneas came out. Damn that Fairy Deer!! Bambi must die!!
