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.

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.

Snow Warning still isn't going to help Amaura much, since Abomasnow outclasses it with its Mega Evolution for more bulk.

Is Hyper Voice w/ refrigerate more powerful than Blizzard?

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.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

By seven more points, but it has double the PP and 100% accuracy so there. (It also hits all adjacent foes like Blizzard does.)

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 didn't see any Darkrai in the last tourney, which also had 2 legends allowed. Groudon and Kyogre compete pretty well with Ray if you know what you're doing, so I ran Groudon, and will again for this. I actually didn't see a huge amount of Rays, even tho it was common. Just means you should carry more things to hit it. I was able to beat it with a Solar Power Charizard of all things, haha!

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

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.

Little late on the reply, but that's because Darkrai was banned from it (considering it's an event/distribution Pokemon only.)

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.

nvm I didn't notice that they were not allowed in Generation Showdown.

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.
I just re-opened up my shop specializing in HA and Rare Ball pokemon! Feel free to check it out!

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...

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.

Actually there aren't quite a bit, there are only 10:

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)
Need a specific Berry? I have literally every kind. Need a Friend Safari HA pokemon? I have them all. Need a gen 1 - 3 (and a few from gen 4) Move Tutor Egg Move that can no longer be obtained? I might be able to help. Drop me a DM if you need anything and maybe I can help!
