Later Jack, GG. I'm tired for battling. but I'll be still arround.
Anyways that was the MOST HAXED battle that I had!!:
My garchomp failed 4 time outrage to his gliscor...
I freeze his gliscor
He paralized my bliss with T-bolt
I failed Overheat to his Magnezone...
Ok, so you can see on smogon good movesets.... or you can think on what stuff can counter you. You will have some prblems with Ghost...
Also, what you have to do to win is kill some one and the explode... That sounds like fun... but you have to be careful
That's why some of the Pokémon will carry Ghost, countering moves, Like Lax with Crunch, Shiftry with Faint Attack, and with their strongest STABed moves, like Golem with SE, Azelf with...
You need a pokemon that can learn pursuit... That way you can be 100% that they will die... One of the pokes that can learn Pursuit and Explotion is Skuntank... You may want it instead Shiftry....
PD: He IS right, you can't get Self Destruct with Snorlax...
And Link, by sending a Snorlax to Pokémon XD, you can teach it Selfdestruct via a Move tutor only available there, since Snorlax's Selfdestruct multiplied by STAB has a whopping 300 points, to which only a few Pokémon (even Rock and Steel are sometimes KOed) and all ghosts survive.
Ok only keep in mind that Skuntank.... Can really be your team hope against ghosts (His stats sucks but he will explose anyway... And remenber that pursuit can attack even if the enemy is going to change....
Well I'm out, luck with your team, and I hope we could battle soon....
The Clan is a group of competitive and friendly pokemon players. We strive to improve and be the best just like any other clan. The purpose of this thread is to provide a place for Clan members to seek within-clan battles, discuss upcoming or current Clan events, for others to seek membership or challenge the clan as a whole, and to provide a resource for members.
While we are perfectly willing to aid new players and battle them, our aim is to be a group of talented and experienced players, and that is primarily what we will look for in new members.

How to Join
This is not an organization for new players, and not for those who cannot behave themselves.
In order to join, you need to show that you have skill in pokemon battling and can act maturely. Contact one of the Clan Leaders in the list below and ask to be admitted. You will then battle under conditions set by that person. If your battle sufficiently proves your skill or if you have previously demonstrated your skill to the tester in other battles, then you will be admitted. Admittance is not necessarily determined by your victory.
If you have any questions on what kinds of things you can do to show your skill, talk to any clan member, but especially talk to Recruiters or the Leader. If the person who is testing you does not give any battle conditions, assume the following clauses are in effect: Sleep, Evasion, Uber, OHKO, and Species (details on clauses below).
Contact list - celestial_okami, Loto, Name, Pkmn Breeder Jack, SharinganFlames
Please only contact these people if you have questions. If you are looking for a test battle please just post in this thread.

Clan Rules Page
We in the Clan have a reputation to uphold as civilized, reputable, and dedicated pokemon battlers. As such, we ask that you abide by these rules when representing the clan in this forum and in other circumstances, (except when they would conflict in which case we ask you to abide by the rules of the forum or other location you are representing the clan in). Failure to abide by the rules can get you warned or kicked from the clan.
1. Declare your membership in your signature.
2. Be respectful of other clan members, other clans, and non-clan members.
3. No deceit.
4. If you use a piece or hardware or software to create or modify pokemon (a method commonly known as 'hacking'), you will not use said pokemon unless your opponent gives informed consent to their use.
5. Remain active in the Clan - (See spoiler)
Spoiler:
This means posting at least once every week and a half at the least. If you are going to be inactive due to school, vacation, holidays, or whatnot just say so. If your interest in pokemon is waning, tell us you are taking a break. We do not want people who join the clan on a whim and never participate.
6. Show proper battle etiquette. - (See spoiler)
Spoiler:
This means that you don't disconnect in the middle of a match, do not take more time than you need to make a move, and only run if your intent is to concede. Do not use pokemon with obscene nicknames or use seals to spell out obscene phrases. A good example is common swear words. If you battle with voice chat, respect your opponent and don't swear unless he or she also swears. If you violate a battle clause, concede immediately or declare yourself the loser regardless of the outcome of the battle. Lastly, take you wins and losses gracefully. Don't lord over those you defeat and insult those who defeat you.

Pokemon Resources
Clauses
Wi-Fi battles often involve player-enforced clauses which seek to balance the game to be more fair. Here they are for your reference.
Spoiler:
Sleep
You may not put more than one of your opponent's pokemon to sleep at a time unless it was by an event you had no control over (e.g. The ability Effect Spore when one of your opponent's pokemon is already asleep via your actions.) or unless your only other option in the battle is to concede (e.g. You are down to your last pokemon, which uses Hypnosis. You miss, and on the next turn your opponent uses Encore).
Evasion
You may not use a move which raises your evasion unless it was by an event you had no control over. (e.g. Raising evasion via Acupressure is allowed because the stat increase is random.) You may use a held item that raises evasion provided that is not restricted by some other clause.
OHKO Move
No moves which faint the opponent in one hit may be used unless it was by an event you had no control over (e.g. Metronome). For reference, these moves are Horn Drill, Guillotine, Fissure, and Sheer Cold.
Species
No more than one pokemon of each species is allowed.
Explosion
If a player causes a Draw through the use of Explosion, Self Destruct, or Destiny Bond, that player loses the game instead.
Item
No more than one of any item may be used. Items with duplicate effects but different names are allowed (e.g. Black Sludge and Leftovers).
'Hax' Item
No Quick Claw, King's Rock, Bright Powder, or Lax Incense. Some consider these items to be too disruptive by adding an additional luck factor into the game.
Uber
No pokemon in the 'Uber' tier are allowed. Uber tier pokemon are considered to be too powerful for the OU metagame.
The Uber tier consists of the following pokemon:
Arceus, Darkrai, Deoxys (all forms), Dialga, Giratina, Groudon, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Mew, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Wobbuffet
Legendary
No legendary pokemon are allowed, regardless of what tier they fall into.
All clan battles use the following clauses by default - Sleep, Evasion, OHKO, Species, and Uber.
Simple Tier Explanation
Spoiler:
The following diagram clarifies how these tiers are separated: '>' Indicates power difference, wheras '--' indicates a difference in frequency of usage only.
Uber > OU -- BL > UU _______\_ _ _ _ _ _/
Uber stands for the strongest pokemon in the game.
OU stands for Over-Used. The most highly used pokemon in the game.
BL stands for Border Line. Too strong for UU, fine with OU.
UU stands for Underused. Pokemon who don't see very much use at all.
A battle at one tier allows for the use of any pokemon in a tier below it.
Asking for a BL/UU battle is essentially asking for an OU battle.
Smogon's tier list is probably the most reliable at this point given the community dedicated to the metagame there, but feel free to discuss with your battle partner if you believe a pokemon should be allowed in your battle which a tier list would exclude.
Other Pokemon Sites and Tools
Here are some resources for the aspiring pokmon master. Please note that neither Pokemon Community forum staff nor myself can vouch for the accuracy or content of material presented on these other sites. This is the internet of course, but just thought I would give you a reminder.
Also, I have developed a damage calculator spreadsheet in Excel that could prove useful, and I have included many comments so that you can understand what each entry is for.
Yeah, great game, it was fun.
I got off to a bad start but Yanny turned it around.
BK? Blaze kick? I would've air slashed it first.
You shouldn't put BK on infernape.
I could help you with you team if you'd like, i'd be glad to help.
:)
Haha, sorry but I'm no Graphic Artist....
And BK is good but its inaccurate and not as powerful as Flare Blitz.
It's good you have Focus Sash, one miss from BK could leave Infernape to die with his low defensive stats. But yeah, I was just offering because your team seemed kinda unbalanced.
