[DS] How do you get 3,000 pikachus on a bus? POKEMON!

So am I a total noob for not caring how my EVs end up? I mean if I like say entered a tournament or something, would they make or break the chances of winning?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmmmm good point. I should probably look into this more before I level my Gengar and Alakhazam further so they don't end up with a bunch of attack EVs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They'd still form a strategy against me fairly easy when they see the majority of my choices are Poison Pokemon.

How'd you guys do a tournament? Over Wifi?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A tournament would be really fun. But I don't have wifi and I still have alot of work towards building up the Pokemon I want to use(Playing through Firered to get stuff to transfer over). But since my 360 is broke, I've been playing it alot lately. My poison team however... has counters for most types, at least against the incompetent AI.

Gengar (If he goes first, so long Psychic. Also immune to ground)
Tentacruel (Bye bye Rock/Ground)
Arbok (Earthquake, kills other poisons easy)
Weezing (Flamethrower and immune to ground)
Nidoking
Beedrill, Crobat, or Muk for the last spot

The non poisons I tend to use are Alakhazam, Persian, or Snorlax.

3 of my choices are inspired by Team Rocket from earlier in the anime. And I'm aware Beedrill sucks, but I like Beedrill.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Then the other one or two can be whatever you want, mainly for countering the biggest threat to your team's type.

That's kind of... silly. Lots of Pokemon get plenty of moves naturally that don't count as the type they are. I think most people, even people who aren't prepping for any kind of tournament, wouldn't bother having more then one of the same attack type. Unless they are aiming for status effects or other non damage related reasons. Your team is already at a possible disadvantage by sharing the same weakness. Why give yourself another?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Is there any kind of adapter that allows you to play online without wireless internet?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

HP helps, but if you want tons of HP you're probably better off just using a Pokemon that has lots of HP without EV training. Kadabra/Alakhazam never has really great hp or defense from my experience. It's strength is having high speed/special attack and destroying opponents before they can hit it.

How ya doing, buddy?

I apparently haven't seen a Shroomish yet and the only deals for a Breloom on the GTS are either silly or stupid. I've come to expect that from there lately.

I think you can only find them in the Pastoria Great Marsh.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Damn your Spiritomb when my last two Pokemon were Alakhazam and Gengar. I didn't even see what your last Pokemon was. Good battle though.

Her highest Pokemon is level 66. The majority of them are only level 60 or in between.
