I pm flavor to the referee complications vs x, even if that x is myself.

Your battle against Eternal Drifter is up!

Hey Espy don't mean to rush but I remember you were already doing the calcs in chat last night for my Hall so I'm just curious what happened. P:

Thanks.

Oh, that makes sense, sorry about that

Just a notice that I am subreffing your Hall. You are currently slaughtering the Armaldo

Nothing locks mons anymore, so you can use whatever you want.

OK here's what we'll do in SDHM:

For Pokemon, I recommend you bring Kitsunoh, Gallade, Lucario, and Steelix. Make sure each one of them has Endure, and those that can learn Counter, Metal Burst, or Mirror Coat have learned it. Those moves will be useful for a plan B-dogfish44 and Maxim style. I am bringing Revenankh, Garchomp, Kingdra, and Slowking. Slowking will be using Reflect with Glyph to minimize the damage we take.

For items, do not bother with Berries, as both bosses have Unnerve. Try to use something that helps your mon, and remember that the fights will be long (8-10 rounds long), so Life Orb is not a good option. I'll be supplying the Reflect, and Glyph will make it cover the whole team.

Aerodactyl has several annoying specials. Make sure all your Pokemon that can learn Heal Pulse have it. Unfortunately, one of these specials is Wing Buffet, which lowers the threat of affected Pokemon. But there are ways to play around it. Also, I can always use Gravity or Smack Down, so we can mass-Earthquake as a last resort.

Tyranitar is straightfoward-smack it. Make sure your mons have enough HP to survive a Shatter (15 BAP Physical Rock-type spread attack). Also keep in mind that Shatter destroys Reflect. Again, make sure those mons have Heal Pulse if they can learn it.

As a last resort, Enduring the fuck out of the bosses can always work, especially since Revenankh has Air Lock and prevents Sandstorm (I think...). Again, make sure your mons have Endure, and Counter, Mirror Coat, and Metal Burst if it can learn them.

Hey just letting you know you have to reorder in your battle with Birkal as Golett is taunted and cannot use Substitute

Hi hi (x

SOMEONE ELSE ON SMOGON LIKES MEGAMAN?! *GASP* :O

Rude

Hey, did you find a subref for that tourney fight? I'm back from Seattle now, so I can go back to reffing if you didn't.

Hi Espy! If it's not too late it'd be nice if you would sub in someone vs. Leethoof. I would've DQ'd him sooner but Leet insisted on waiting. However I think we should give a sub an opportunity to battle.

I think I'm the first ref to finish a Tourney match so could you please clarify the prizes for me? The main thread says that Pokemon earn 6 MC between battles, do they additionally earn the normal 3 MC for the battle they participated in? What about KOs? Do the trainers earn CC? Finally does the loser get anything?

play me for smog dubs tourney rd2

yes, I think we have different timezones, I am on for around 2 hours from now for example.

I'll keep an eye out!

You can claim 6 UC from EM's Hall

Battle time! Showdown username?

Its the doubles format w/o swift swim :)

I am using SeeUnextTuesday atm

Please order against lupus:/

I don't like the idea of giving seventeen free wins when you could accomplish the same with four.

You still could have done one bye per round and that would mean only four, instead of what, seventeen? -.- but it's your tournament, I guess

What happened to your cap of 48 ?_?

I'm afraid I can't do the fight between Atheno and Blob just yet; Turns out the latter forgot egg moves cost 3 MC, so he might have to alter his moveset first. Shall I let him know?
