Dont forget your position as staff when you're helping someone (or doing anything related to the game really). Lazy posts like this really test our confidence in the staff as a whole. If you took the time to read the OP's post, you would know he knows about type advantages and disadvantages (he clearly mentions that geodude has an advantage over bugs). This post is about the ridiculous discrepancy in levels between gym trainers and wild pokemon, to which i agree. You just got through the kanto story and very few want to start all over again and grind from the beginning. It would be ok if at least it required less of a grind than what we all ready went through, but no, we are forced to grind even further. Some of us just want to finish the story quickly and move onto constructing competitive teams, a task that will take a considerable more amount of time than finishing both stories.. OP edited his post after Zero posted it, so the post isn't "Lazy", OP just did not give enough info about it. that doesnt justify a pic of type advantages and disadvantage. Zero still didnt address the real question of the OP. Besides, just posting a pic and saying " this might help you" insults the OP's knowledge on pokemon as well.

IF the scammer still has your poke, then staff can return said poke and ban the offender. If the pokemon has already been traded away, there is nothing staff can do besides banning the scammer.

21k, how long do i have to wait sir?

The problem probably has to do with the ability sturdy. In fact, Leekhoasoooo is the one who told me this, but he chooses not to share that bit of information (i wonder why). Anyway, donphan does not get inflicted by confusion when hit by dynamic punch either, and it too has sturdy. Dont ask me how, but i cant think of any other reason...

stealth rock tutor already in game. Jhoto safari mountain zoe, 15k (not including safari fees), take a poke with rock smash.

c/o 1.2mil by leekhoasoooo now... instant is around 1.5-1.8mil

thats only a visual bug. Upon using a move, the damaged pokemon will "heal". It doesnt really heal (because it isnt really damaged), it will just show the proper hp/pp values. and yea, even at 500+ i get matched up with so many 0 point peeps.

I'm not sure why the news post was quoted and had that line highlighted. It's not like they missed the post, it was exactly what they were talking about. They saw the post, but the information on it on severely lacking. Honestly, so is your answer. They asked four questions, which you vaguely answered one of. I'm sure your intention is good (and you might've not been sure about any of the other questions hence the silence), but frankly I think your reply doesn't do much to help or clarify anything at all. ^ this. Anyway, doesnt take long to find a match unless you have high points, then it can take a while (5 mins tops). As far as possible, you will get matched up against ppl with similar points as you, which means that if you have 500 points and another guy has 500 points, and everyone else has say, less than 300 points, you will always get matched up against that 500 point player. This can get frustrating but that is how the system should work. As for points, you win or lose 16 points when battling a person with a similar number of points as you. If you have a lot more points than your opponent you can win as low as 2 points (this was the case towards the end of last season for me...), while if you lose you stand to lose as much as 32 points. You can view the ladder on the main site (pokemonrevolution.net/ladder.php). Last season all of the top 25 were rewarded (it took about 420 points to break into the top 25 if i remember correctly). Everyone was given an untradeble masterball along with a pretty smexy deco outfit. I'm not sure, but i think the top 5 had the chance to pick the color of outfit they wanted. I was top 10, didnt get to pick :|

c/o 550k

Looking for offers. Mostly interested in an epic milotic, open to all offers though. c/o 1.2mil by leekhoasoooo

Even though lanturn absorbs electric attacks it cant really finish them off, so i recommend getting something a little more capable of taking out electric types (electivire / donphan / snorlax). Besides that you desperately need a physical attackers, or at least two because your whole team will get walled by blissey otherwise. Gyarados / azumaril do well in that regard.

i'd go with the slowking. Lapras needs water absorb to be really useful...

bump :|

Title says it all... and will the awards be given soon or will we have to wait? :S

Rain team is pretty much the meta atm. As for strong leads you have, staraptor (counters other prominent leads such as machamp/breloom and intimidate makes it easier to switch out of weavile or azumaril) Machamp (counters weavile and most other pokemon that can't ohko are usually forced out, meaning something else has to eat a stab dynamic punch while also being inflicted by confuse) Weavile (besides fairy / fighting / dark / steel types, everything else pretty much dies to a 6 party beat-up. Extremely difficult to switch into as well and is probably the reason why most ppl start with machamp / breloom / azumaril ) Breloom (spore. Nuff said. Though Mach punch to kill weavile helps too) Azumaril (hits very hard and is fairly tanky. Access to knock off and superpower round off its coverage.) Besides these you do see clefable (stealth rock/toxic/twave) / skarmory (hazards) / politoed / ninetales a fair amount as well. Ttar fell off with the rise of staraptor / azumaril / champ / breloom and scizor is usually saved to sweep later (both of these were prominent earlier on in the game) As for physical sweepers you have gyara / scizor / dragon thanks to ddance and swords dance. Other boosters such as cloy / lucario / gallade are too situational in my own opinion. The fact that all 3 common physical sweepers take at least 3 attacks after a boost to take out skarmory, make it one of the preferred physical tanks ( though Donphan and bold milotic with dragon tail deserves a mention too) As for special sweepers, I can't see anything besides kingdra, ludicolo and to a much lesser extent omastar (shell smash in rain hurts like hell :|) the lack of a calm mind or nasty plot tm and not working psyshock is probably why we are limited to rain team sweepers. This also means that special wall of special walls blissey is unmatched in its role atm. Water absorb jellicient deserves a mention though (it's hard to get), being a spin blocker with access to toxic and recover makes it specially annoying... I'd say lapels to a lesser extent as well, but it's weakness to stealth rock makes it hard to use once the opponent knows you have it. Hope thy gives you a better idea :| I've only mentioned the prominent pokemon you see nowadays. PRO does have so many more viable pokemon and even the prominent ones have move sets that can take you completely by surprise and en decide a battle.

this isnt going to help you much at all.. while we do have boosters to sweep scizor is walled by gyara and skarm and cloy is hardly used. Toxic stallers are the real problem right now... there was a post with pro's "OU", "uu" etc pokemon, i just cant find it now lol... could have sworn it was in general talk section.

there have been several rumors floating around.... from what ive heard i think its safe to say that top 15 will be awarded, though i also a heard a fair amount of ppl say that top 25 will be awarded. As to what the wards are, i dont know. Again i heard that the top ranked battler may be awarded a masterball and exclusive deco :| all only speculation, dont quote me ppl....

are u sure it has been 5 days? i can usually battle elite after 3 days and the other one after 2 days...

Focus sash not working. No choice band afaik. Dunno is gengar learns sludge bomb itself, we have no tm/tutor otherwise. Also, destiny bond is not working. No focus blast tm/tutor, shadow ball no longer obtainable blunts kazams use greatly. Even with all those items, scizor is set up bait for gyara, who can sweep your team after 2 (maybe one) ddance. Even with focus sash on aero you are still going to take a lot of dmg. Rain kingdra will also sweep this team without any issues, both of these being very common battlers currently.

You havent really stated a question, but both cases can be done. I generally try and kill a high lvl pokemon (irrespective of the evs i want) in order to gain some lvls so that ev training will be easier. Once i've gained a satisfactory lvl i use a berry or two to remove any unwanted evs i may have gained and proceed with ev training the ones i want, after which i start lvling to lvl 100.

That said, to somewhat compensate for the lack of breeding the game has implemented a 50% chance of synchronize working (which is much more than the norm). So if you have an adamant sync as your party lead, the pokemon you encounter has a 50% chance of being adamant as well.

As far as i understand it, if both battlers have similar points u get win/lose 16 points. That is the base, from there the points awarded and lost depends on the difference. With 500 points i win 2 point for defeating anyone with less than 150 points while i lose 30 points if i am defeated by such a person. I get around 10 points for defeating ppl with 300-400 range ppl while loosing around 20 points when i lose. Just my observations so far. EDIT:there are no win streak bonuses.
