Sabaku and Name, you are 'authorized' to test and accept charizard_maa and Sk8 to the clan if they pass your tests. Also, if either of you are interested in advancing to leader your should go out there and try recruiting people! An assistant can recruit, he just needs a leader's approval before the person he is recruiting can join.
Ooka, if you battle people in your battle thread who you think would make good additions to the clan, feel free to invite them in.
EDIT - OK guys, new contest announced! I want to get your opinion if we should make this a public contest or keep it in-clan. We really don't have any in-clan benefits or events right now but we don't really have that many active members either. Also, if you guys have any prizes you want to contribute please feel free, and your comments on this idea are most appreciated!
I have asked Shiny Umbreon about being allowed to contribute ARDS'd Pokesav'd pokemon as prizes, but he gave the following response, and we will respect this decision.
Shiny Umbreon said:
Sorry, hacked Pokémon are not allowed in any way because there'd be too much confusion in the forum and most people would complain if they got a hacked Pokémon without noticing it said it was hacked. It's just a global rule, and I can make no exceptions. Thanks for understanding.
I can provide any and all items as prizes, so that isn't so much an issue but after the terrible toil I found breeding to be I have no desire to do any kind of bred-n-trained pokemon prizes myself.
Event - Silly Movesets
The idea behind this contest is that we create usable but silly movesets which are completely unexpected for the pokemon they are on. Each participant can submit up to three entries. At the end, the judges (myself, Ooka, and perhaps the assistants as well) will battle it out with a team of our top picks for wackiness to see who wins!
All pokemon used in this tournament will either be created by ARDS (for tournament use only) or more likely held on Shoddybattle so everyone can watch the match.
Rules - No more than three entries per person. If you want to remove an entry and replace it with a new one, please PM me the details. Provide a full movset, ability choice, item, nature, EVs, and IV's if relevant (all assumed to be 31 otherwise). Write your analysis with a Singles, 6v6. Also, to keep variety among submissions we hope that you will aim for BL tier pokemon and below. Please give an explanation of how this pokemon actually could work. Do not do things like make a Lopunny that knows only Splash, that might be silly but it isn't usable. Also, don't expect us to know how this pokemon works! Make sure you give good detail, especially if it needs to work in tandem with another pokemon to be effective.
Prizes:
Pokemon on 1st place team - 2 items of winner's choice per pokemon, max 6.
Pokemon on 2nd place team - 1 items of winner's choice per pokemon, max 3.
Pokemon voted to have best moveset - 3 items of winner's choice
If you are having trouble coming up with ideas, heres one I came up with.
"Hairball" - Delcatty @ Silk Scarf / Leftovers / Wide Lens / Brightpowder
Jolly / Impish, 120hp / 136 def / 252 Speed.
Defense Curl
Rollout
Sing
Thunder Wave / Heal Bell / Secret Power / Return / Toxic / Wish
Ability - Normalize.
The idea here is to use Defense Curl and Rollout, which should be made more powerful by Normalize causing Rollout to be STAB'd. Rollout without defense curl is a 45, 90, 180, 360, and finally 720 attack power move. If you factor in Defense curl's effect, it becomes 90, 180, 360, 720, 1440! Unlikely to ever happen and begging to be walled by even the weakest of ghosts, but its silly and thats the point! Sing gives you better chance of getting this off and is in general a useful choice.
Last slot is up in the air depending on what else you want Delcatty to do. Normalized Thunderwave works on ground types but ghosts own you even more. Heal bell to medic your pokemon after something is asleep, Return if you want more power and an alternate attack Secret Power as a less powerful body slam to combine Thunder Wave and Return, Toxic for alternate status, and Wish for team healing.
Leftovers and Brightpowder improve survivability (although Brightpowder might be restricted), and hopefully the defense curl and defense EVs will let you survive some minor physical assault without dying. Wide Lens improves the accuracy of Sing somewhat to help get the combo going and also makes Rollout 99% accurate. Silk Scarf if you are feeling gutsy about your survivability and want more damage.
EVs are actually kinda up in the air. A 500 defense 4x Normal resisting pokemon still takes MINIMUM 128 damage from a max attack Delcatty on the fifth hit of Rollout, and how likely are you to encounter that kind of defense in UU? So maybe you really don't care about attack EVs if you are going for the power kill... but what are the chances you are going to get that far? Maximizing HP, Defense, or Speed (for the quick Sing) might be the best way to go if you are dedicated in getting that last Rollout to just kill something, but Attack would be better if you want to lower your expectations. Max defense neutral nature Delcatty has 343 defense after one defense curl which is pretty good, and should be able to take some hits. EVs for the set above are geared to give Delcatty 300 defense after one Defense curl. If you are using leftovers, 76HP / 180DEF removes the lost fractional HP recovery without sacrificing defense by going for 144HP /112DEF which would leave you with 194 Def, 291 after defense curl. There might be a more optimal EV spread out there if you want to nitpick though, and I haven't done any damage calculations to see what I should be aiming for.
Lastly, Delcatty can learn Rollout and Defense Curl via Emerald move tutors for you doubters out there.
