Our mascot should definitely be Houndoom! ^^
1000000000000% agreeing with this (for obvious reasons)

Maybe like the Howling Houndooms or Houndoom Hotties or something lol

Okay I set up a poll!

Also, where would you guys place yourselves in skill level? Beginner, intermediate, or veteran? Not sure if this info will be useful but might as well ask.

I am definitely not interested in having Houndoom as out mascot. But it seems that's just me.

As far as skill level goes, I'd place myself as either a beginner or a low-level intermediate.
What are you so afraid of?

We have a strong majority for Houndoom, so that'll be our new mascot! Sorry Hopeless Masquerade.

Any clan name ideas? I'll have to think it over and come back with some.

Haha, it's fine. Houndoom is cool enough.

If we have Houndoom as our mascot, why not go with a Dark-themed team. The name could be "The Dark Mafia" or something.

I mean wolf is our leader and our mascot is Houndoom.. I see a lot of opportunities to utilize our canine theme. Something as simple as "the Wolf Pack" or "the Houndoom Pack" I'll think of some more ideas while nodding off in class :p

I set up a poll for names! Put in a bunch of random ideas. Please keep in mind that we only have until Wednesday at noon EDT to finalize everything.

Anyway, I personally think we should go with "Wolves of the Abyss." It's very fitting and sounds nice. I was inspired by The Abyss from Dark Souls. I'm always up for other ideas!

I voted for "Mafia of the Abyss," but I think that "The Abyssal Mafia" sounds better. Looks like I won't be winning though, anyway.

If we're going with the whole latin thing, how about "Lupos Tenebrarum" (Wolves of Darkness)?

Retracting my vote for now. I need to sleep on it some more. Taking more of a liking to The Hounds and Hounds of Doom. The former has a nice simplicity and the latter could have a theme song (!!).

Alright, I updated the poll. Lupos Tenebrarum is nice though it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.

Also everyone, let me know if you want your votes changed in the poll.

I wasn't expecting Thunderbolt Ferrothorn, not that it made a huge difference. Somethings I noticed was night slash on Skarmory, as there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of targets it hits for Skarm. Skarm likes to come in, lay hazards (unless defog) and take on some of the tier's big hitters, however it does not have amazing offenses so Brave Bird is generally the only move you'll see that is offensive. Some options I've heard of include Counter, Toxic along with its standard sets of Stealth rock/ Roost / Spikes | Whirlwind / offensive move here. That's not exactly an official set, just one that I've seen before. If Counter is used I'm sure there is another set for it though. So basically, hazards + roost + whirlwind/toxic + brave bird. Also, I wanted to ask what reasons you have Dark Pulse on Thundurus? Not criticizing your choice, just curious.

Ah, thanks for the help with Skarmory. As for Dark Pulse, I kind of just randomly chose that move. I was testing out different stuff, to see how it worked. That was somewhat of an untested team, so the Pokemon weren't perfect. I probably should have used a team I knew I had better chances with.

Oh okay, gotcha. Well, Dark Pulse is a decently cool move for smacking MegaMetagross and Mew, but I think depending on your set (was it Life Orb, offensive support, or something like that?) you might wanna be carrying some othe moves. So, if offesnive support I think Thunder Wave/Taunt/Thunderbolt | Volt switch / HP Ice | Psychic is generally preferred because otherwise things like mega Venusaur and Amoonguss and possibly AV Conkeldurr wall you (if not carrying psychic). HP Ice for things like Garchomp and Altaria. Paralyzing Mega metagross is huge so you don't always need dark pulse. Mew should be taunted all the time too so I think the main psychic types you hit aren't exactly things that want to take Thundurus on anyways. That's just my two cents however, I'm sure others may think differently
