[b]Pokémon Megathread v3[/b]
Pokémon is a series of video games primarily for Nintendo handheld game systems, as well as the overarching franchise based on these games. Though many things differ depending on a specific canon's interpretation of the series, what remains constant is the focus on creatures known as Pokémon, which can be captured, trained, and used to compete against one another in battle or, more recently, other activities.

BL Tier

[quote]LIST OF STANDARD RULES
Evasion Clause
Probably the most important rule in competitive play. This rule states that no player is allowed to use the moves Double Team and Minimize. Any other mean of raising evasion is legal, like Brightpowder, the Sand Veil Ability, or Acupressure. Using Double Team or Minimize due to Metronome is not a violation, but Assist is
OHKO Clause
Almost as important as Evasion Clause, under this rule no player is allowed to use a OHKO (One Hit Knockout) move: Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure or Sheer Cold. Again, using these moves through Metronome doesn't break the rules, but Assist does
Sleep Clause
Yet another very important rule, no player is allowed to put a Pokémon to sleep if a Pokémon in the opposing team is already sleeping. Pokémon sleeping due to Rest don't count. Since this rule can lead to various discussions, I'll try to list them all here
-A Pokémon falls asleep due to the Ability Effect Spore while another Pokémon on the same team is already sleeping: This doesn't break the rule, as the player with an Effect Spore Pokémon had no effect on the second sleep; however, if a player puts a Pokémon to sleep AFTER Effect Spore took affect, then he/she has broken the rule
-A Pokémon puts two Pokémon to sleep due to an opponent's Encore/Choice Item: If the sleeper was allowed to switch out, then the sleeper's player has broken the rule; if the sleeper was trapped by any means, the trapper's player has broken the rule
-In a double battle, two Pokémon are put to sleep by the move Dark Void: If no other Pokémon had previously been put to sleep, then the rule isn't broken
Species Clause
Very simple, no player can have on the same team two Pokémon of the same species (Pokédex number)
Soul Dew Clause
Since Latias is allowed in OU only without the Item Soul Dew, a new rule has been made: No Pokémon can hold Soul Dew. If Latias will be banned from OU even without Soul Dew, feel free to ignore this rule[/quote]
[quote]NON STANDARD RULES THAT ARE SOMETIMES USED
The following rules aren't included as standard. However, they are quite popular among many users and make for a different style of play. If they are stated alongside the standard rules, remember to abide by them.
Item Clause
By far the most common non-standard rule, item clause states that each Pokemon on the team must be holding a different item from one another. So no double leftovers or focus sash. Items that do the same thing but aren't the same, such as leftovers and black sludge, are allowed.
No "Hax" Items
The following items are banned:
- Brightpowder
- Quick Claw
- Focus Band
- King's Rock
Self-KO Clause
This mostly only applies to tournaments. It's used to break ties. If both players are down to their last Pokemon and one uses a move that kills itself, such as Explosion, Self-Destruct, Destiny Bond, or Memento, the trainer who used that move is considered the loser in the match.
Freeze Clause
Only used in a controlled environment such as Pokemon Battle Revolution or Shoddy Battle. Only one Pokemon may be frozen at the same time as another. Once one unfreezes, that Pokemon or another may be frozen.

GTS if you've seen one. Or I can give you one If my wireless works. But to catch one you need to go to kanto.

This makes me regret selling my DS...
My Pokemon:
Lv 21 Staravia
Lv 22 Monferno
Lv 16 Luxio
Lv 18 Budew (Which won't evolve)
I'm just past Eterna and have beaten the gym there, what pokemon should I get?
EDIT:
Now with a level 23 Skuntank
My Team:
Shiny Charizard Lv62
Ferilagatr Lv62
Garchomp Lv74
Snorlax Lv52
Torterra Lv62
Venusaur Lv39/Some Status Inflicting Pokemon
[QUOTE=FlameCow;21515179]Wow, those pictures are bad quality. Nice Pokemon though.
Anybody know where to find level 25-30 enemies? I can't find any that level, and considering my Monferno is level 31, I am really OP.[/QUOTE]
Grass by the safari zone
Just beat all the Kanto gyms. Red, YOUR NEXT.
I only beat one Kanto Gym. See, all my pokemon are -50, but I beat the E4 with my Diamond pal-parked 93 Raquaza, and I'm not going to use it ANYMORE until I beat Red.
I only beat the Grass one, my Gold (Ho-oh) and Akuzi (Pidgiot) owned it.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm training a Shuckle to purely annoy people, so I'm going to teach it Rest, Snore, some status move (TOXIC?), and... something else. Maybe HYPER BEAM? Leach seed (can it learn that)? Giga Drain?

No. Red is next.
No. Red is dead. Or at least his pokemon are.
Longest fucking battle ever. Everything has leftovers.
[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;21516395]50 minute battle holy god dam.[/QUOTE]
In instances where there is one pokemon left, go for a perish song, maybe explosion. That's great for a quick kill.
And the longest battle for me was the stupid bugsy. I just couldn't take that stupid Syther down.
Grr.
Sec, Getting my WFC ID for my Soul Silver I acquired a few days ago.

By the way, I need to make a GTS trade so I can unlock the other special pokewalker route.
Also, feel free to add me on steam.
e:
Btw, I'm trying to get one of my Unowns to level 100. It's level 32 so far. (I know it's slightly useless, but who knows when I might need it)
