TGM challenged leader Cyclone!

TGM was overwhelmed!

TGM has no poke'mon left to battle...

TGM gave $3,000 to the winner...

...

TGM whited out.


that battle. thaaaat battle. lol.

GW3G-WWWW-WWW9-BUMR

gg Cyclone.

Finally had a successful defense of my Gym against TGM. Looking forward to the rematch! :)

2XQW-WWWW-WWW9-BUNW

The Milotic worried me when it came out as I wasn't sure how to answer it yet. Finally ended up with Sylveon against it and, with Toxic draining its life force, it managed to take it down after a lot of kissing. I think that was the turning point for me in this battle.
Haha yeah there were a few miscalculations on my part as well, scalding when I should have been recovering and switching Milotic out in the first place was probably a bad idea, haha. gg!

It is just the night of the leaders up in here. Nobody's getting badges lol


Probably a bad time to retry for my last one then; but it's about to be the full clock cycle since I lost last night. Anyone free and able to sub for Psychic / Fairy in the 3DS Division?

I need to ask something, You can't change any of your pokemons??
As far as Im aware, everyone signs up with 6 pokemon. The six pokemon you choose to sign up with are the ones you use throughout the league. However confirm that with Polar spectrum just to make sure ;]

This has come up with a few people I guess, so clarification on what we agreed on in the discussion thread -

Once you begin your challenge, you cannot change the 6 species of pokemon you selected to challenge the league with. BUT - if you want to restart, or have no badges, as you have no progress to lose anyways, you may change your team and start again, with 0 badges and a different team. While you may not change which 6 pokemon you use during a challenge, you may change the Moves, IV's, EV's, Held Items, Nature, Ability, and so on of a pokemon at any time during your challenge.

With that being my first successful defense, that makes my record 1-2.

Record-related question coming your way in a VM Polar.
Responded tooooo. The gym records thing was completely the idea of ... um, whoever it was above on this page that started it hahah. That's completely their thing and I have no say in it, do whatever mannn

As far as Im aware, everyone signs up with 6 pokemon. The six pokemon you choose to sign up with are the ones you use throughout the league. However confirm that with Polar spectrum just to make sure ;]
Yessir, answered above - you can change builds, but not pokemon. If you change pokemon, you have to start over.

I won against Cyclone. It seems that my Sableye story have been spread :C. New record: Sableye dead in one turn sorry Polar. However, Gastrodoon and Manectric are the the nightmare for Polar and Cyclone :P

I am sorry Cyclone, but I can't let you win, my dream of becoming the Prism League champion is my priority C:.

B82G-WWWW-WWW9-BVU5

The rule for the six Pokemon are still really unstable and unfair ... We need to work on that rule. I believe putting 2 extra pokemon is still a good idea! :C I had battled Polar and double, this is not really working. The rule of "switching EV,blablabla", it's hard to apply for 3DS division, unless you meant you have multiple Tentacruel and you can use those Tentacruels, or hack. Another option is lock with 6 pokemon in Showdown and 7/8(but 8 sounds fair, since GYM leader can switch to any Pokemon) pokemons for 3DS division. The only reason for this is: You all know my Sableye by now, you all have a Pokemon against him. I am kind of lock here, also, for double its really really unstable. You make it all single or you make it all double. While GYM leader has more advantage like a +4 advantage its fairly hard to win :C

Victory confirmed by Krystia over my Gym. Indeed, that Gastrodon WAS my nightmare. Mandibuzz was the best matchup, but it turned into a wall match. I thought we were going to run each other out of moves, then you swapped and I followed suit knowing it would be back.

You are also correct about Manectric in that I didn't have a move for it. I really need to put Earthquake on my team; if that had been there, Manectric would have been routinely dealt with in the same fashion that I took out Mega Banette in a single blow earlier this evening. Not having it made that a challenge that was too much.

Then came the epic rematch between the walls about six or eight Pokémon later, with you finally getting the burn on me with Scald. Blowing sand was still lingering about as well and made it hard just for it to stay in, and then of course you swapped in Manectric. I had nowhere to go and that was that. I never got a crit. on Brave Bird, which had that happened in the first meeting of the pair might have led to a different result.

Well played, and a very good match! ^^

To be fair, most Gym Leaders will find a good team and stick with it. The only reason for changing the team is if something is not working against numerous challengers, not against just one. Also, Azumarill was already on my team (see past videos) and was the best choice to battle Sableye, which I noticed in a couple of your videos always led. That made it logical for me to lead with Azumarill. Had I won our match, there might have been a thought in changing the strategy to get rid of Azumarill and Sylveon before sending it out to harass the rest of the team (since Sableye IS weak to Fairy types). In that instance, it can harass literally at will.

The reason for Gym Leaders to be allowed to swap is indeed to allow some routine flexibility if something isn't working in numerous matches. It's not to counter a specific player or Pokémon; if it was, it would be a lot harder. We are under rules for how teams can be changed, and there was discussion about allowing a change every two weeks, but I think it's generally agreed we won't be swapping regularly. If I had not used Azumarill and continued to not use it after our match, then that would be a case for switching against you, and that is what is discouraged. I will still be using my Azumarill, so it is within what is allowed for me to plan to use it first knowing you would start with Sableye. :)

Oh Please, do not miss do not misunderstand me! D: It was fine, I know probably by now most of the GYM leaders knows about the existence of my Sableye. I was just hmm... giving feedbacks haha. It is a topic that I have been talking lately,its a little unstable, but then again it kind of sounds I just want to win too :C. It's cool. I am not against GYM leaders switching pokemon. I think its fair. :)

Haha, thanks for clarifying. :) It's just a thing to offer fairness since challengers have all 719 - banned species to choose from, and can choose the ideal team, while Leaders are limited by type and can't choose ideal teams because they will have common weaknesses, so it's just to even the playing field somewhat.

And yes, switching it up is the best strategy. Lead with different Pokémon and different strategies every time. Keeps people guessing since every video shows up in here, and trying to plan for one strategy can end up getting a Leader's starter mercilessly slaughtered. I went on predictability, of course. :)

In all honesty, being restricted to six pokemon is hard. Maybe having two additional pokemon would help as players can alternate and mix their team up a bit. I mean its not exactly hard to pull off a win against a gym leader. Just show your true skill and you will earn badges accordingly.

This is exactly why I'm making sure challengers post any battles with me and I confirm them. :) Still have the vids if needed for a while, but no need to double up on them and quicker to delete my copy if not also posted.

I will do my little journey book ~

Spoiler:

Hi, I am Krystia (Perseus) from Ottawa City ~. I had began my journey to become the best trainer in Prism region. My fellow companions, Sableye, Manectric, Dragonite, Gastrodoon, Tentacruel and the new integrated Braviery joined me in this amazing adventure.
We first face-off the Moss GYM, our whole team were really nervous but Sableye disable the majority of Lobrix, Lobrix manage to down some of my pokemons,, at the end Dragonite raise from his Pokeball and finish it off. Winning the Moss badge, I was confident to beat another leader so I faced Blueboi at the Chill GYM. He wiped my whole team.
The next day, I decided to face Blueboi again, this team Sableye many to stare down four of blueboi's Pokemon. However, Blueboi manage to take down 5 of my Pokemon leaving me with Braviery taking us to victory and earn the Chill Badge. Again, being confident and arrogant I went to face the Oblivious GYM. Sableye turned out to be the shiny star of this battle by disabling most of his powerful Pokemon and letting my other Pokemons have a little show. With this I manage to earn the Oblivious Badge ~. Later on, I went to seek the All-out GYM. MegaSeeker was not available and I saw one of the Elite four, Polar. He said he was away, so he will take the battle from there. Polar manage to take my Sableye down in two shoots quite sad. Gastrodoon was able to take revenge on his teammate. We have a long battle against his Dragange but Manectric manage to take it down. At the end, Gastrodoon and Salamancer face-off. Salamancer using his feary Dragon Claw at my Gastrodoon but Gastrodoon didn't give up and take out Salamancer with his ice bean;letting us to earn the All-out badge. We took a break.
The next day, we faced Polar again this time he was helping Kitkaki since he was away breeding his Pokemons. It was a double battle, and my team got wiped out badly :C. We decided to leave Kit GYM and face Cyclone. It was fun, Gastrodoon manage to be the shiny star of the team once more having a Wall Vs Wall. Gastrodoon and Manectric left Mandibuzz all byherself and let us win our 5th badge. We then confident enough to face Polar. This time, Polar trick us into his Trick Room. Gastrodoon, Braviary, and Manectric manage to hold all Polar trickery against my pokemons !

Now, that I have all my badges. Its time to face the Elite four

Yeah I can see why you're displeased with how it went - if you want when I get off work, I can rematch you with my same league team.

And I'm seeing a lot of scolipede love in the showdown division. This is pleasing to meh

Tetra, Charizard man, y'all gonna be around tonight? I have to wait half a day for one symbol, and I already have the other one. You two are all I can do tonight challenge wise :I
