The organizer posts a WANTED poster along a countdown timer at least a day before the Hunt.

No one is allowed to hunt before the countdown timer ends!

The 'Wanted Pokémon' can be a hatched Pokémon or a wild Pokémon with added prerequisites, including but not limited to, Shiny, nearest-IV total, caught location, amount of Pokémon to catch, etc..

Hunts aren't limited to the core games.

Participants are rated under this simple method: the fastest hunter to complete a task on that day gets the most chips, 1st runner-up gets some chips, 2nd runner-up gets only little.

Finally the members must vote for a Pokémon that should win the CLASH, by their own set of definitions.

There are 2 modes
Majority rules (MR): The members who picked the Pokémon with the most votes are rewarded with 150 Chips. (Only 3 members will be rewarded with chips.)

Guess mode (GM): The members who guessed the correct Pokémon are rewarded with 150 Chips.

Cross Clash refers to 2 or more clubs getting involved in a crossover CLASH, hence the name.

Keep in mind, no need to be serious over CLASH, it's meant for pure fun.

#1. Kadabra VS Jynx (Guess Mode)
#2. Mega Mewtwo X VS Mega Mewtwo Y (Guess Mode)
#3. Gallade VS Medicham (Cross Clash; Majority Rules)

- Reason for joining the club: Psychic-types are always a necessity for me and I really enjoy using them on my teams, they hit hard and tend to be pretty fast.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type Gym Leader? Why?

Sabrina, she's got a very strong team and she was fantastic (and creepy) in the anime.

Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Gothita
Reason for joining the club: Psychic-types are strong, majestic and wield unique moves and abilities that allow them to show their true potential.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type Gym Leader? Why?

Olympia, who I know many would write off as forgettable but seriously she has such a majestic design, with that long cape of hers and the space theme of her Gym.

 

[DforDragoz]

Yay, finally! A place for me.

Nickname: PsychozDragoz
Your Psychic-Type Club Campaing Partner: Ralts
Reason for joining the club: Aside from being strong with Sp. Atk, Psychic is one of the most mysterious types out there. Being able to move things with telekinesis, I think Psychic-type pokemons are the most flexible and strongest.

Who's your favorite Psychic-type gym leader? Why?

I'd go with Liza and Tate. Their Solrock + Lunatone combo wrecked me hard on the first time I battled them. I chose a Blaziken that time, and only my him, Pelipper, and Gardevoir were at the proper levels. Ironically, Gardevoir with a Shadow Ball ended it.

Congratulations! You are all accepted to our little humble Psychic-type Club! I'll be updating our member list soon and evolution details on the scenario campaign partners! ;)

Thank you for joining this new club! ^^

 

[DforDragoz]

The club is eerily silent >_> Can I start a new topic?

Spoiler: If Yes

Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

It doesn't have to be 6 Psychic types, just most of the team being Psychic. I have tried with White 2 Pokemon League, using two Reuniclus, Starmie, Sigilyph, Solrock, and Lunatone. I always thought that Grimsley would be the hardest, but it was Caitlin I had a lot of trouble with. Gothitelle and Musharna took a lot of time. Then there's Shauntal...

If not, well I guess I can wait.

Thanks, that's a big help, to be honest! You are free to create topics, according to our rules! I'm too focus on fixing the campaign scenario for the Flying-type. I didn't expect Flying-type would be popular over Psychic (at least for now), I mean just look at how silent the club is right now. Or probably everyone is communicating with us with telepathy! Lol Psychic-type's gonna be fixed immediately after fixing Flying-type's. I really appreciate a lot your considerate help there. ;)

On to the new topic: Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?
I haven't tried that challenge! But I might do that on Pokémon Y rerun as Delphox is a FIre/Psychic Pokémon!

 

[Wicked3DS]

Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

I've never been able to do this since I haven't been able to think of a good balanced team to use for it.

 

[Hikamaru]

Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?

No, because most Elite Fours have a member that uses Ghost or Dark-types and without the right coverage they can be a huge wall to your Psychic team that they may not be able to overcome.

 

[DforDragoz]

@UnapologeticSunflower Glad to help. I thought of cracking a similar joke about telepathy when I was making the topic, but my jokes don't usually work. And good luck if you'll try the challenge, hope you enjoy it.

@Quajutsu and Hikamaru
Yup, I had to grind on Audinos, Colress, Nimbasa, and every place I knew to get my team 2-4 levels above the E4 members. Hoenn and Unova leagues are especially cruel on Psychic. W2 took me at least two retries, until I replaced Swoobat with another Reuniclus. I was tempted to use a Dark type(which is like going EZ mode) but went for a second Reuniclus. It was mostly luck that got me through.

 

[Sun]

To extend the longevity of Dragoz's topic as well as to further break the silent, I'll make a sub-topic here.

Main topic:
Have you tried challenging the Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type?
Sub-topic:
If you're going to challenge a Pokemon League/whole game with a team of Psychic type, which game(s) are you going to take on? Why?
Sub-topic 2: Following the first sub-topic, which 6 Psychic-Pokémon are you going to pick for your team? Why?

To Dragoz, I hope you won't mind my decision on the sub-topics. I had to do this to extend the Club's life, it hurts specially when my other 2 Clubs are starting to sprout while it's relatively quiet with the Psychic Club.

 

[DforDragoz]

I don't, it's actually better. It gives us more stuff to talk about ^^

Subtopic 1: I'm planning to try the challenge on Pokemon Emerald. Hoenn and Unova are the only regions I feel comfortable playing with, probably because I have replayed them a lot of times over the other games. Plus, it'll be more of a challenge since the E4 follows a similar pattern in Unova, one Dark and one Ghost.

Subtopic 2: I think getting and training a team is more of the challenge than fighting the league itself. I might pull another Reuniclus, except that I'll be using 2 Gardevoirs, one having Thunderbolt, one with Shadow Ball. Gonna get Starmie and have it learn Ice beam for Drake. Girafarig for some diversity, and its Crunch at 49. A Solrock for its Explosion, especially reserved for that Milotic, or I might have it learn Sunny Day and just go Solarbeam it to dust. Sidney will be the biggest problem since I don't see any Psychic type that can go around most of his Pokemon.

Oh, btw, it seems Ralts is very popular to us. I assume we're all going for Gardevoir/Mega Gardevoir?

I'll probably begin with Platinum version, as Platinum version has no Dark-type specialist, which can be slightly easier.

Houndour, Sneasel, Spiritomb, Murkow, Eevee (evolves into Umbreon), Absol. Oops! That's similar to Karen's rematch team. XD Anyway I'm picking these 6 in particular as they came to mind at first.

Yeah, I was expecting Sigilyph or Espurr for Nichole and an Abra for Quajutsu. Since my Ralts is a boy, I'm aiming for a Gallade/Mega Gallade. If I stumble across a female Ralts during the scenario I'll definitely capture it for a Gardevoir/Mega Gardevoir! Shiny prefered! Lol

 

[Hikamaru]

I feel like the easiest Elite Four to take on with a mono Psychic team is Kalos' Elite Four in X & Y, since they lack a Ghost or Dark specialist and while some of them do have a Ghost-type (Wikstrom and Malva specifically, along with Champion Diantha) the thing is that most Psychic-types can learn Shadow Ball which counters them, and with the diversity of Pokemon in the game it's likely you'll get something to handle their other weaknesses as well.

Sinnoh's isn't as good as you'd think, given Cynthia's Spiritomb has a total advantage over them along with being extremely tanky.

Ah! I've nearly forgotten that accursed Spiritomb! Thanks a lot for reminding me!~ Then I'll go with Kalos, not to mention Delphox, Fennekin's final evolution form, is part Psychic-type as well!

It's so sad that most of these Elite Fours are so unkind to Psychic-types, since there's like almost each one having a Ghost or Dark-type user, and while Kalos does have some members using a Ghost-type, the thing is you'd likely be overleveled before then and they can be easily countered anyway.

Because Dark, Dragon, Ghost, Psychic are unofficially regarded as 'expert types' by the officials, sadly two of them are our precious Psychic's weakness.

Most Psychic-types can at least make up with their high Sp. Atk with Shadow Ball for their Ghost weakness, and nowadays they can also counter their Dark-type weakness with Dazzling Gleam, other than the accuracy unreliable Focus Blast. :')

I'm going to start with Platinum, it's the most challenging one IMO.
Following the first sub-topic, which 6 Psychic-Pokémon are you going to pick for your team? Why?
As you might guess already, Mewtwo is the lead for obvious reasons. Espeon and Gardevoir are the others I'll surely use because they're cute. I still have to think about the rest 3, there's so many good psychic pokémon that it's hard to choose.

I'm sorry, Mewtwo can be only obtained during special events. I've updated the Club Campaign partner list with GIFs, so it's going to be easier for you to pick your partner.

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?

 

[Hikamaru]

Which Psychic-type Pokémon's Mega form is your favorite? Why?

There are tons of Psychic-type Megas, so hard to pick. But I'd go with Medicham because I like how it has these ribbon like things that are actually extra arms and they actually attack (as shown in its attacking animations) plus it reminds me of those Indian gods. A really great design to be honest.

Gardevoir and Gallade have some good ones as well, although Gardevoir does get the better end of the stick when it comes to shinies. Dat black dress <333
