This is the team I'm currently using in Battle Stadium Singles. I'm currently stalling out and having problems improving my win rate, so I'm interested in whether anyone has suggestions for improvements (although I'm unsure whether the problem is the team or the pilot; it's reached the point at...

So, time for me to attempt another spinoff warstory! Hopefully it's formatted better than my previous attempt, an explanation of how I beat Zero Isle South in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness. As before, this is somewhere between an explanation of what I did, and a guide explaining...

Many roguelikes have items that make the game much easier if you find them early. NetHack has its wands of wishing; Brogue its daggers of quietus; and, it seems, Zero Isle South has its Bulk Up TMs. Bulk Up, with its Attack- and Defense-boosting properties, is a move I hadn't really considered...

Introduction I've just come back from the Birmingham VGC, in which I won an invite to Worlds. As I'm not planning on attending, I thought that people might want to see the team that made it. As always, this is a rate-my-team, and there are some things that can quite possibly be improved, as...

This is my stallishly designed team, which has brought me up to a CRE of about 1400 on Shoddy over the past few weeks (not amazing, therefore, but not awful either), and so I have a pretty good idea of how it works now, and am bringing it here for other people to comment on. The team basically...
